>> it ain't over now! >> it's a classic moment. don't forget, he got his way when all was said and done and then went on to become what? what? send me a tweet at megyn kelly. thanks for watching the kelly file. the motion is adopted without consideration it is on the table. >> once this agreement is signed, i will sign it immediately. >> i'm brett bexar j. we're one hour away from when the u.s. government was supposed to have hit its borrowing moment and

10:02 pm
>> strong bipartisan support in the senate with a deal brokered by harry reid and mitch mcconnell funds the government through january 15th and republicans would have preferred longer and raises the debt limit to february 7th through extraordinary measures although they would have liked it to be longer. there is income verification on obama exchanges and a bipartisan committee to address long term fiscal issues by december 13th. reid expressed tonight he hopes this is the long to a difficult chapter. >> let's be honest, this is pain inflicted on our nation for no good reason and cannot ma make -- we cannot make the same mistake again. >> mcconnell acknowledged it's only a temporary fix. >> there's a lot more we need to do to get our nation's fiscal house in order. hopefully once we've gotten past the drama of the moment we can get to work on it. >> reporter: a wild card in the estimate was if conservatives
10:03 pm
ted cruz or mike lee would hold up the vote. lee called it washington at its worst but allowed the bill to proceed. >> it appeared this particular fight will end much the same way obama care began in a last minute deal negotiated in back rooms and forced on congress and on the american people. >> reporter: speaker john boehner said the house has fought with everything it has to convince the president to engage in bipartisan negotiations to address the nation's debt and in providing fairness to the american people under obama care. boehner pledged to continue the fight and his fellow republicans say they appreciate his courage. >> the speaker got a standing ovation i think down to every man and woman that our leadership team did an outstanding job. >> praise for the speaker's leadership and after 2 1/2 weeks of this fight many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle seemed ready to move forward recognizing there will be plenty of fights ahead on both spending and the debt. >> it was a really strange
10:04 pm
moment as that vote was coming to an end with the hoist st stenographer getting up to the microphone. let's take a listen to this first of all. >> no. no. it was >> no. >> the constitution would never have been written by -- it goes against god. you cannot serve two masters. >> now, she works for the house, right? >> steny hoyer, leading democrat and the republican in the speaker's chair at that time because she is a stenographer that works regularly on the floor, describing her as normally a very gentle soul.
10:05 pm
it really shocked everybody when things are done by the book on the floor of the house and suddenly, there was this outburst at a critical time with this vote tonight. >> very strange, mike, thank you. >> she said thus spoke the lord and this is not the lord's work is what she said at the microphones. president obama said tonight what seemed to set the stage for the next steps in the budget process and really for the second part of his second term agenda. let's check in with ed henry. good evening, ed. >> good morning, brent. we're learning aids will in fact sign this bill into law tonight and some question how quickly it would get here, would he sign it in the morning. number one, he will sign it tonight and the omb director directing all employees furloughed that they expect them back tomorrow morning a few hours from now. and the president after comments in the briefing room after days of calling the republicans
10:06 pm
hostage takers and terrorists he seemed to be clearly trying to change the tone. >> once this agreement arrives on my desk, i will sign it immediately. >> within minutes of the senate vote the president cheered the bipartisan action though careful to set a measured tone and not further inflame house republicans with excessive celebration before their vote, the president acknowledging in blunt remarks both parties took a hit. >> there's a lot of work ahead of us including our need to eastern back the trust lost the past few weeks. we can begin to do that by addressing the real issues they care about. >> reporter: the president revealed he will make more extensive remarks thursday laying out his vision how the parties can come together on a broader budget deal though skepticism abounds. >> from a technical standpoint it kicks the can down the road. >> reporter: while the president won this battle there are questions how he can get the rest of his agenda passed over the next three years amidst a
10:07 pm
fractured dynamic and wants to move quickly to immigration reform. that will be tough after a health care rollout even democrats are saying was botched. back in the 2012 campaign, the president said if he won re-election he would break the republican fever of opposition to him. it appears the most recent wrangling only fired up conservati conservatives who noted american's founders wanted gridlock and now seem continued to do that. >> if america's founders gave the president any money he wanted without use of any delegated duties we basically move to a monarch. >> reporter: the other agenda is congress's attention focused between now and december 17th grappling with bigger budget decisions delayed. >> the good news is we get down through the government default situation and the bad news 15
10:08 pm
mont weeks. as my father said a hell of a way to run a railroad. >> reporter: when asked if he would face the same thing soon, he turned on his heels and expressed optimism. >> will this happen again in a few months? >> no. >> the president will be laying out what he sees as the next steps in this budget battle tomorrow morning 10:35 a.m. eastern time in the state dining room, a chance to get an idea how he thinks he and the splintered congress will pick up the pieces. >> deal or no deal, house republicans were looking for a pound of bureaucratic flesh today over the shutdown closing national monuments and parks especially open aired one. james rosen reports democrats did not care for that tactic. >> this hearing is sideshow, political theater. >> this is a different moment. >> i am taking part in a hearing that makes the mccarthy era look
10:09 pm
like enlightenment. >> they spewed metaphors at house republicans who took aim at jonathan jarvis director of the national parks service for barrica barricading some memorials and most notedly the veterans memorial and jarvis said the white house knew about that. >> several times on the phone with the white house, i presented with the secretary my decision. >> who did you talk to in the white house? >> i did not know who was on the phone. >> reporter: and he exercised two years ago he declined to enforce no camping. >> do you think it's to be enforced for a monument they helped to build or just smoking pot? >> we are neutral on content at
10:10 pm
the mall. >> and the claude moore farm a nonprofit tourist site complained about the shutdown. >> there are no government employees at the farm nor have there been since 1981. >> if i may the claude moore farm received 2$2.3 million fro the national parks service. >> reporter: democrats said it was house republicans that shut down the government. >> they seem to love our parks today but i haven't seen that love much recently since the republicans took over congress 2010. 20 tenure total budget was 2 billion $750 million. in 2013, $2,400 million. >> reporter: jarvis declined to appear until subpoenaed because he said the furloughing hobbled his ability to appear to congressional testimony. and daryl issa said he never
10:11 pm
responded to a previous subpoena in april and slapped him with a new subpoena on the way. >> and what's next in this battle? ject managemt. baron of the build-out. you need a permit... to be this awesome. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle... and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price.

10:12 pm
10:14 pm
let's get thoughts from one of the house rinz w from one of the house republicans who voted to end the shutdown and extend the debt limit. he joins me live here in studio, congressman thanks for being here. >> good to be here. >> you look at the vote total. republicans voted 174-84 against. democrats, 198 for this bill and there you see the totals at the bottom, 285-144. this was not done with a majority -- of the majority in republicans. why did you vote against this tonight? >> the bill tonight didn't address the problems.
10:15 pm
the president has said all alon wasn't going to negotiate, wanted a full debt ceiling, full continuation without addressing underlying problems that got us here in the first place. this sets up yet another crisis showdown in three months. you have january 15th and others. and it doesn't address the problems. >> do you think the tactics used by your side were the right tactics. >> no, i don't. obviously there were a lot of different proposals put on the table. i voted for four different proposals to fund government and in the white house last week when we offered to increase the debt ceiling for agreement for him to negotiate on the bigger spending issues. he refused to negotiate at all. you have a situation the president got everything he wanted but we didn't solve one problem. it was a bad situation for
10:16 pm
everybody. a lot of us didn't want to be in this position and you have a president who wanted this to happen a long time because he thought he could get political gain out of it. >> and he wants to break the fever of the republican party and split the republican party essentially. do you think that's happened? >> i don't think the republican party is split. there is a lot of frustration, you have a president of the united states who doesn't want to negotiate with the other party in a two party system. we have a divided nation. the election shows that. a republican house and democrat senate and democrat white house. the way the founding fathers set this up you sit in a room and figure this out and not someone threatening default and that's what the president did. >> people are looking at that saying the super committee had all kinds of super dead lines tied it to and didn't manage it 1.3 trillion over 10 years.
10:17 pm
what are the prospects for the budget committee? >> the fact paul ryan has done a great job bringing a budget to the house and talking to ryan, the senate's budget chairman and working on a number of different things and far apart, we have to be honest. at some point the president has to provide leadership he failed to provide. they got everything they wanted because maybe they're popping champagne at the white house but america lost and in three months we will be back in the same spot without getting problems addressed and the only way is to address the fact medicare is going bankrupt in a few years if we don't fix it. we want to save it, put a plan on the table. time for the president to put his plan on the table and get this done. >> in your caucus, speaker boehner, is his speakership safe? what is the general consensus at this time? >> i think speaker boehner has done an incredible job holding
10:18 pm
the conference together in trying to start negotiations with the president. i was in the white house last week with a group of our members and speaker boehner was sitting there putting proposals on the table offering president obama a number of ways to get this problem solved for long term solutions. he's done the best he can with a bad hand he's dealt. you have a president who flat out said i don't want to negotiate and harry reid did his bidding for him in the senate literally tabling every deal to fund government and bring us to this brinksmanship point. >> were you in the chamber when the dust-up happened with the st stenographer? >> it's very unfortunate. you see her everyday in the capitol there in the house chamber. i guess we'll find out what really happened. unfortunate it happened. >> congressman, thanks, love to have you back. >> thanks. >> we'll be back after a short time out and full panel plus a breakdown of what is happening next. ♪

now that the debt crisis has been averlted the now that the debt crisis has been averted and the government is set to be open, even more attention is paid to the president's insurance exchange and peter doocy looks at questions popping up more and more, whether your personal information is safe with obama care. >> to enroll in new health care on the insurance exchange, most consumers must first provide personal insurance information. but buried in the blueprint known as source code lies an alarming warning first discovered by the weekly standard. you have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data transiting or stored on this information system at any time
10:23 pm
and for any lawful government purpose the government may monitor, intercept and search and seize any information data transiting or stored on this information system. security experts are worried the government may be ill equipped to deal with identity thieves. >> they're saying we make no warranties, not guaranteeing we can protect anything you give us at all. if you can't protect my goals, why should i put it at fort knox and you don't put guards around it, you told us where the gold is and left it unsecured. >> reporter: this message only appears in the source code and not actual terms and conditions and quote when consumers fill out their online marketplace applications they can trust the information they're providing is protected by stringent security standards and the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure. the white house said today we need to wait until mid-november before learning how many consumers have actually enrolled

in new plans in healthcare.gov but the press secretary did detail some success stories. >> in delaware a small business owner found a plan that cost her $150 less than the cost of her previous plan. >> reporter: that small business owner is named janice baker 59 lives in selbyville, delaware and we know that because they said she's the only one they know of in their state enrolled in the new plan through health ca care.gov so far. >> my own attempts to create an account at healthcare.gov have been completely unsuccessful. yesterday, i was told by an operator on the phone they couldn't help me unless i provided my whole address even though i never got far enough to enter one online. today, more failure, this time because of problems with nesecurity questions page. in washington, peter doocy, fox news. >> thank you. throughout the chaos and
10:25 pm
confusion, our producers have kept us and you aware of what's happening, right up to the second. when the e-mails come in amazing how details they can get. let's see what's going on behind the scenes. chad, the senior capitol hill producer and kara on the senate side, great job. behind the scene story the past couple of weeks you've noticed. >> it was interesting to watch house republicans move to this air of resignation the past couple of hours. many said, look, we tried our best and went as far as we could trying to de-fund or eliminate obama care and we couldn't go much further. some said this is only the first round and will stay and fight but relented. it was significant 87 republican yays out of 232 republicans in the house, means there were 144 nays. a similar number of nays on the republican side that voted for the fiscal cliff but a lot short of just 49 republicans yes, sir
10:26 pm
they got on the sandy hurricane bill. we've had an issue throughout this congress and last year of republicans defecting. this was the case again tonight. all democrats voted yes on this bill tonight. house speaker john boehner when he came back to the building hinted to reporters he was glad to be getting this over. >> your sense on the senate side? >> one of the most interesting things to watch is listening to the rhetoric evolved over the past few days, heated whether hostage takers, having bombs strapped to your chest. today at the press conference after the senate vote with the democratic leaders it was so odd to hear senator chuck schumer and harry reid effusive of their praise to senator mcconnell when you think about the summer and the nuclear option you had senator mcconnell calling senator reid one of the worst senate leaders in history and we have come full circle. >> as we head to this budget
10:27 pm
conference committee we have senator patty murray and paul ryan, the budget conference committee, the hopes and possibilities? >> one thing if you look, the fact sequester has taken effect and a new round of cuts coming in democrats view as completely unpalatable too drastic next month excuse me january. the urgency is there that wasn't there at simpson-bowles in the past. as far as solutions and possibilities of compromise, i don't see the solutions being any greater. i wouldn't get your hopes up. >> i think the problem is they don't have much time. they've been trying to get their hands around this entitlement spending and hope this might be the opportunity. they've been down this road before. the pressure is on nobody more so than paul ryan. they really need to bring this across the finish line if he's going to be credible. >> chad and kara, tremendous

10:32 pm
a look at the personalities and politics behind the deal to ends the stalemate. >> reporter: john boehner is the world's third constitutional officer and behind the presidency as speaker of to the u.s. house and job is to make sure things get done on time like paying bills. and he has been thwarted by senate democrats unable or unwilling to complete budgets. they did complete a budget but rejected by ted cruz of texas and mike lee of utah to de-fund obama cares a part of it. in the house, speaker boehner brought up 45 bills to fund the government and raise the debt ceiling and senate democrats put each one down. and then a stripped down plan to reopen the government and raise the debt limit until next year.
10:33 pm
house republicans rejected it. in this morning's "wall street journal" editorial said the conservatives undermined whatever small leverage the house gop had left without a majority of 218 votes, republicans might as well hand the gavel to democrat speaker harry reid and they agreed to reopen the government and work on long term entitlements and debt fixes and they think they will some day oust republican boehner. there was a coup but the tea party darling who organized it said there are no plans now. >> i heard so many people say if speaker boehner does this, that or the other, he's over and out. if you remember, i was the only one that nominated somebody else last november and was by myself in january. we had 13.
10:34 pm
i'd be surprised to see others stand up. >> and many were praising boehner for fighting their priorities as long as he did. the battle will resume in 13 weeks just as campaign rhetoric really heats up and make deals all that much tougher. >> speaking of january and february you're talking prima primaries during 2014, hot and heavy. >> they probably won't come up with another long term deal and do another short term kick of that can and probably two or three more shut down showdowns the rest of the year. >> makes me tired. >> rest up. >> goldberg, national editor and associate editor of the hill and charles krauthammer. the republican party is clearly licking their wounds tonight. john boehner didn't want to say
10:35 pm
anything at the end of this whole thing as he was leaving. where does it go? >> this is good for republican governors, they're not part of this debacle one way or another. another thing we're seeing for some of the tea partiers, their whole scheme of how they look at this is different than the usual intraparty stuff. they're looking to twist the paradigm to a different level. i don't know they've been successful so far but a lot of them think they have been. one way to look at it, these heritage action groups is to think of them as essentially a hostile takeover of the republican party. the actual issues about what the counter-offer is on the debt ceiling were really secondary to this idea of indicting the leadership. you listen to ted cruz talking how the senate failed this is about getting a primary challenge that will win against mcconnell and a sense we need to
10:36 pm
take over the party and an insurrections from within. >> kirsten. >> yeah. that's not a good scenario for the republican party. >> does it help president obama get anything across the finish line? >> i don't think the president can get anything done with this congress. his only hope is to get a new congress and they're going to make it more likely if the scenario you just laid out happens. if you look at even the generic matchup right now what happened in this short period of time, they've gone from the house not being potentially in play to being potentially in play. it's not in any way definite democrats would win but they're in the range. they're winning in the generic matchup and in the range where they need to be to take back the house. if they continue to do this and continue this brinksmanship, i think it could happen. >> i think there's not a chance the democrats can produce a wave
10:37 pm
that would be required to overcome their structural disadvantage in the map of the house next fall. that said, i think that what you have now, with the outside group ed that jonah mentioned and inside small minority but very vocal membership of the house and republican congress and in the senate creating one member i won't say the chamber in leadership described to me a few days ago as republican on republican violence. what we have now is a bunch of people not interested in the future of the republican party. they're not interested in growing the party. they don't think this last year was wasted since mitt romney lost the election and will be a good midterm election for republicans next year and will lose the white house in '16 again because the party hasn't learned its lesson, hasn't broadened the tent and invited new people in and hasn't
10:38 pm
acknowledged demographic liability with latinos and will fall on itself. >> i don't think the lesson will be learned bus they will have a good midterm and that's the worries of the establishment party. >> then afterwards comes the apocalypse. that sounds like a pretty gloomy scenario. >> are you feeling hopeful about their prospects? >> i think they've hurt themselves. but to project out two years, you look at obama's victory in 2008, i don't think anybody would have predicted it would be a catastrophe what obama calls a debacle in 2010. two years is a long time. i think this does leave some dama damage, but i do think this idea of a civil war, there are some members, not very many, who believe in completely ideological warfare without any regard to tactics or strategy to
10:39 pm
winning on the ground. i don't think it wins. i think in the end it's so destructive it plays itself out. i don't think it's the kind of destruction we're talking about here. in real terms, i think what's happened right now is boehner has obviously no control of the caucus. for obama, what's the first item he mentioned in that little speech he made today? immigration. he knows there's a strong element among republicans who want immigration reform, pretty close to the democrats and in the senate and some in the house. the way he sees of achieving this. he may not achieve it but it would be a real uphill battle but has a better chance now, do exactly what he did now and the fiscal cliff on january 1st, split the republicans in the house. the leadership loses control and you pass it with all democrats and tonight, 87 republicans. that's his strategy. you split the body that's the blockage for anything he wants to do and then you achieve what
10:40 pm
you want. >> on the up side for republicans, is there an upside there's a focus on obama care, not only the technical side of it but the substance of it and the $17 trillion in debt some people don't talk about a lot but they've heard a lot about over the past few weeks. is there some silver lining any republicans can take out of the past two weeks? >> i think so. this whole idea people are talking about obama care now and wouldn't have been if it weren't for ted cruz, that's over done. people would have been talking about obama care, republicans have been talking about it for a long time and it's been a disastrous rollout. that said, ted cruz and mike lee did help reinforce the brand of the party definitely against obama care that takes this debt and deficit stuff very seriously. going forward as obama care gets worse maybe, i think probably, the deficit problems get worse definitely, those are good issues to be on the right side
10:41 pm
and to have staked a claim on. i also think republican governors will be in pretty good shape. the country, according to gallup and other polls has become more conservative under barack obama. this new progressive era never transpired that we were supposed to get. >> megyn kelly will join us in a bit. keep it here. my mantra? always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment.

10:44 pm
we're back with the panel. earlier tonight, president obama spoke to reporters about a three minute statement in between the two votes, it passed the senate and heading to the house and came out and said it's good to put this all behind the country and then said he was ready to talk about his agenda going forward. as he was leaving, a.b., he was asked is this going to happen again in a few months? he turns on his way out and he winks and says, no.
10:45 pm
>> i really have a plan for president obama. i think he should negotiate fairly and frequently whenever he is needed. i think he should offer real structural reform to our entitlement programs. not moan about the sequester without coming up with cuts and come up with a fair proposal for tax reform. that way he will have a receptive audience among enough republicans to pass something that would really transform his presidency and get us out of the fiscal hole. if he just goes back and says he wants more taxes, wants to -- >> you just said he needs most of all a democratic congress to get what he wants through. >> i was actually proposing something he do with republicans. >> i understand. but to get the democratic congress do you think there's any chance he will throw the long ball to try to solve big problems in the budget committee if he's trying to get the
10:46 pm
democratic congress for 2014. >> if he and his lieutenant are smart enough they will talk to steve israel and realize they don't have a hope of creating a wave to take back the congress in which case his entire presidency rests on working with john boehner on something that's a compromise getting us out of the fiscal hole and denying it any longer is a waste of three years. >> charles, we've been around this a while on this panel with simpson-bowles. a lot of different times we came to this precipice saying, maybe this is the one. >> this is lucy and the football squared. every time obama's had a chance to do the thing that you would expect him to do if he has the vision of the world that most of us do, the deficit is insupportable, we're going over a cliff, we can see the future, it's happening in europe, the entitlement state is unsustainable, you have to do something, all of us know that instinctively. he is not interested.
10:47 pm
he said yes on this occasion and no on that occasion, election is coming up, has to do with -- the man is not interested in that. he's a man of the left. he believes europe, that the kind of social democratic system in europe, entitlement state safety net is tjust the side 0 community organizer would be thinking of and why time and time he turns it down and why i predict the can turn it down even though he can have a great political victory on tax reform but won't accept it unless you raise taxes. >> you watch those commercials, erskine bowles and others sitting next to each other, they say this does not look good. do you think the president could possibly do something big this time? >> the thing about obama is -- i've asked this question of a lot of people around him, who worked with him on these issues, what does this animate him? is this something he seems concerned about, he wants to do something about? the answer i always get is i
10:48 pm
don't know. if you don't know that means he's not animated by it. this isn't his driving force of his presidency. i think it's possible but he doesn't seem to be willing - willing -- he's never made it a priority so far. that doesn't give us a lot of hope for the future. have 10 seconds for you, jonah. >> he always wanted to be the liberal ronald reagan, a transformative guy. that doesn't mean cutting entitlements. >> that was pretty good. >> none. >> we'll come back on the other side of the break. keep it here. no matter how busy your morning you can always do something better for yourself. and better is so easy with benefiber. fiber that's taste-free, grit-free and dissolves completely. so you can feel free to add it to anything.
