effort for my families. that's it for the show. have a great weekend. we'll see you next week. ♪ neil: it's friday. do you know where the republican congressman is? they seem to be -- on the debt ceiling. now on hitting the roof. they're focused on winning later this year they given up the fight to ren in spending at all this year. a $1 trillion farm bill that over the top. to start the week off. then a billion dollar climate measure pushed by the president that pileson the way to end the week. republicans areafraid to say boo, wine, or complain. they re praying will implode.

that's a hell of campaign strategy. mark my words, republicans will rule the day thy conveniently sol their souu. welcome. on the grand old party disarmament. that's the way i see it. what about you? >> i agree. it was a huge blow to small goernment, tea party folks, people who want less intending. the strategy is o play nice this year. let democrats do whatever they want to put the focus on obamacare. that's on the top of arican's behinds. what is going on with obamacae upset with democrats and since ection year republicans are hoping they can just ride this year's through. have democrats bsically get in trouble with obamacare. an then take over he senate and hopefully gain more conol of the house.

scold stabilize. i don't think it will. it could enough to my it's not as bad as we think it is now. yet they're hanging their hat on it. i'm saying when you have lost your spending result on everything else. you kind of reveal to yourselves to the american people as being the sort of basless, spineless, totally clueless politicians you are. >> exactly. and this kind of reminds me of mitt romney's strategy during the election which w basically not to say anything. kind of lay low and let obama -- neil: play it safe. >> itcounty en uuwell. they need toput forth a plan and fight. show so you a spine. obama trying to propose a billion dollar climate change fund. why not talk more about keystone pipeline. we need a strategy republicans do. they can't put all of their chips and eggs in one basket which is th antiobama and hope

he screws up. they're playing it oosafe o your point. i think with you're the opposition party you can never play it safe. and that you cn never hone your hopesn poll numbers that might presently look good but don't last. ask mitt romney after the first debate. he thought he was on easy street and played it safe and we know what happened. i'm saying would it hurt publicans to actually practice what they preach. focus on on elections and willingness to challenge conventional spending. absolutely. i agre we have a trillion dollar farm bill. if you look at polls americans think that spending is out of control in washington, d.c. so republicans need to show they have a spine andactually do something about it. show the american people. neil: they're not doing it now. always a pleasure. thank you. happy valentine's day. it's not really for

republicans. understand john boehner's strategy. the former republican leader knows what i mean. by playing it safe they could be safely assuring they will be the minority party. am overstating things, dick? >> no. i have a -- i shareyour concern, by the way. they're playing it too cozy and too safe. it's one thing to have enough awarend of the vote numbers not go up a blind alley on something like the get limit. but passing the agriculture bill and going along with president clinton billion dollars for climate control leaving the pipeline hanging. these are fights hey should be making. they could win. winning and fighting these fights and losing hem strengthens their position with the lek trait. it's good policy. and i think they ned to be back and have the courage of their convictions good policy makes

good politics. let get back to the job, understand we've got to resist unnecessary and counter productive government spending, but they don't. >> they don't. they actlly sign up or look at the farm bl. they signed on and added a lot of stuffing in this bill. and, you know, when it cmes at the time when they even themselves have e been saying ty can't cease and assist on he sort of thing. the party leadership does just that. would kill them to even try to attach smething, anything, to debt ceiling measures. even if you knew it godown. at least you've been tying. they didn't even try. >> well, i think they're so weary of being run up that blid alley and having to retreat with their tail between their legs. they made -- i think they may have been wise to avoid that fight. but the alture bill is just unbelievable to me. you know, i started the

agriculture war in 1990. the days before that nobody quarreled whatever agriculture policy came out. they thought it was none of their business. it's not that hard to understand agriculture policy is counter productive. there's probably nothing more instructive to the american environment than american agricuure policy. >> by the way. democrats have the republican number on this. and so many other type of votes. cause they now know that -- lo, republicans are so afraid to get labeled obstructionist or even risking shutting the government down we can get any spending past these guys. my prediction they are going to now try to ramp through any type of spending and know republicans will be too afraid to try to stop it. >> well, that's wher the leadership needs to differentiate. neil: they don't though. >> something like the debt ceiling is one thing, but any new spending bills on agriculture advances increases spending on agriculture cook

teddy roosevel was a repuican. it's a christian holiday, which of course would only be celebrated by people who cling to the bible and gun and banned in most middle east countries. police are arrest you the religious police will arrest you in middle east countries. and the number one reason why the reasons own valentine's day. it's the only day of the year when every state -- all 57 go red. [laughter] [laughter] neil: that's not too shabby. you obviously -- [inaudle conversations] you brought your a game. i have writers in detroit going crazy right now. [laughter] chuck, you mentoned valentine's day. i think whether it is super bowl and how they use that to pitch health care and coverage and for the young using a lot of ock stars and actresses to sort of tell you and compel you to get heal care. cool thing. now using valentine's day leads to the case one saying it will

improve your love life if you have it. it strikes me as ultimate desperation. -> disseparate. we haven't heard about the truth about health care. obamacare, however you put it. we've heard a lot of untruths that come to light. now we continue to think, well, i guess they're telling the truth now. i guess they really do have 3.5 million. now maybe they signed up or not. maybe it will improve my love life and being friendly with dogs and strange animal. they're digging up evethg in the world trying to sell this thing to us. and it just isn't working. i don't think.
