>> cease-fire crumbles in 90 minutes. this is "now" live from washington, d.c. >> i have unequivocally condemned hamas and palestinian factions responsible for killing two israeli soldiers and abducting a third almost minutes after a cease-fire had been announced. israel has a right to defend itself and israel committed to the 72-hour cease-fire and it was violated. trying to put that together is going to be challenging but we will continue to make those efforts. this administration invested an enormous amount to try to bring the parties together around a framework for peace. in the end it's up to the two parties to make a decision. we can lead them to resolve the technical issues and show them a path. but they've got to want it. >> i'm ezra klein in for alex

wagner. the bloody conflict between israel and hamas continued today. if you want to understand the conflict and how it's taking shape, there are three numbers you need to know. 90, 95, and 1600. 90, 90 minutes is the length of time that today's cease-fire lasted before the bloodshed resumed. 90 minutes in a cease-fire that was supposed to last three whole days. this morning, only an hour and a half after the cease-fire took effect, the israeli military noungsed that militants captured one of its soldiers and killed two others and declared the cease-fire over. though not quite taking responsibility for the action, hamas is claiming the attack was carried out before the truce began. just last hour president obama delivered a message to those responsible for the capture. >> i want to make sure that they are listening, if they are serious about trying to resolve

this situation, that soldier needs to be unconditionally released as soon as possible. >> hamas' actions help explain the next number, 95. 95 is the percentage of jewish israelis in support of israel's military offensive in gaza. it demonstrates an utterly overwhelming u.n. nimty that the offensive in gaza is justified. and it intensified after the cease-fire ended. it began shelling the city of rafah nearby where the abduction took place, killing more than 60 people. a resident told the new york times that israel's artillery and shells were landing like rain. the deadly rainfall gets to the final number, 1600. that's how many palestinians have died so far in the gaza conflict. most of those deaths were palestinian civilians and that's compared to 66 israelis who died

during the conflict of which only three were civilians. this helps explain why palestinians don't just abandon hamas, they don't see themselves as aggressors and see israel as an aggressor who murdered hundreds of innocent civilians, more than 200 children. israeli palestinian delegations did arrive in cairo to negotiate a longer term solution to the conflicts. but egyptian officials say the talks have been postponed. this is the 25th day of the conflict and it is not last. joining me now from gaza is ayman mohyeldin, great to have you here. >> reporter: thanks. >> what is happening tonight? have the attacks intensified? >> reporter: it absolutely has and it's not just night time when we do expect it to

intensify more. what has happened in the last few hours, israeli ground forces have surrounded the town of rafah, we've gotten that from eyewitness accounts and residents who live there telling us that in fact the israeli military at some point have surrounded some of the open areas and outskirts of the town of rafah, many of them already have been huddling up in homes and trying to stay away from the front lines. they have been on the march since this morning's incident in the israeli military says one israeli soldier was captured and two others were killed. throughout the course of their advancement, there have been very heavy shelling taking place in and around the town of rafh, so much so that palestinian health officials are saying the death toll from that alone stands at 160 palestinians killed in this one day alone. it does undermine so much of the ongoing operation here that something like this could have happened to israeli forces and

it is in the eyes of many palestinians a game changer, that's how a lot of analysts are saying what happened today. it changes the dynamic of the conflict tremendously, ezra. >> what do the people of gaza think? do they blame hamas, support hamas? what is their position? >> reporter: palestinians that we've been speaking to throughout the course of the past 25 days repeatedly expressed their support for the military wing of hamas, that is the palestinian fighters. as you mentioned, there really are very little polling institutions or any accurate sentiment. when you go in the street and speak to order palestinians, there's no doubt that the military wings of all of these factions have been and seen in the eyes of palestinians as resistance fighters. as a result of that they are well respected and well revered inside palestinian society and even in the occupied west bank. whereas, among the political

leaders of the palestinian society, the debate about hamas has always been varied. at this point during a conflict, very much in israel, the israeli society rallying behind the government for the ongoing conflict. it's very similar here. the palestinian society will rally behind the leadership of this country or territory, in this case, hamas, for this period. that doesn't mean they don't have grievances with hamas or disagree with it, for the time being in the state of war, you'll find very few palestinians openly critical of hamas and how it conducted itself throughout the past several weeks. they will be critical of it on so many other issues but for the time being that's not here or there for them, it's been surviving through the war and rallying behind an aggression on the people. >> is there a dynamic where even as israel weakens hamas militarily, it strengthens them politically? >> reporter: absolutely. we've already seen that over the

course of the last several years, after the war there's always a short spike in the popularity of hamas, not only here in the gaza strip but across the arab world. if you look at a lot of media anl list and social media reaction and public sentiment. there is support for how they describe it, palestinian resistance to israeli azbregs. quite the opposite, in the last two years, hamas and other political islamic organizations like the mus loom brotherhood and others have declined in popularity. in this context of an ongoing conflict with israel there is a rallying behind hamas and that strengthens them and in the coming weeks you'll see that. in the long term, that's a question that remains uncertain. it's unclear whether or not if tlerp elections held today, whether or not hamas could come out victorious like they did in 2006. >> ayman mohyeldin, thanks for joining us and stay safe.

>> joining me now is former deputy assistant secretary for state and foreign relations, robert dineen. talk to me about why hamas would do what it did today. we're in a conflict where the ratio of palestinian civil yan casualties is running 100 to 1. they know kidnapping an is railing railly soldier will bring back a reprisal. >> for hamas, they are weaker on the ground militarily, they have to use different tactics, that's the way they do things. when they captured him, they were able to secure the release of over 1,000 prisoners. they know the soldiers are worth a lot to the israelis and doug this intricate tunnels to carry on a operation like this in which they could capture through

one of these tunnels one of the israeli soldiers. for them this is an achievement. >> how does the capture change the dynamics of this conflict? you bring up the previous negotiations but that happened years after he was captured. so what happens in short term now? >> in the short term this is a real turning point in this 25-day conflict. first of all as you pointed out, now we have an israeli populist fully supportive of more aggressive military campaign. secondly it gives hamas an achieveme achievement. and third and this is perhaps the most difficult part, we had a cease fire agreement and united states worked hard to put it in place and worked with international parties and lasted less than 90 minutes and hamas didn't abide by it and reneged on the deal. this is going to make difficult another deal. how do you trust this organization that didn't abide by the deal? >> this is something i thought was interesting.

there had been a -- there's been a real sense of palpable anger on american officials secretaries kerry's statement, president obama's press conference at hamas, ats breaking the cease-fire. previous to this there had been it seemed some if not victories for hamas, at least there was a cease-fire recognizing them as a legitimate authority to negotiate with. how many has hamas destroyed the relationship and ability to be a player at the table with america in this? it seems in terms of the leveraging those negotiations, israel got a big win. >> look, let's be clear. america was not negotiating with hamas. we've been working with turkey and qatar to try to deal with hamas. we never changed our position this is a terrorist organization. yesterday hamas had the sympathy vote. israel came under the strongest criticism it endured from the united states over the shelling of the compound. today the story is different, it is directed firmly on hamas and

israel has a bit of a window of opportunity here in terms of u.s. support to up its game here. but how long is that going to last? a few days then we'll be in a different round of this fighting. >> netanyahu said it would take a few days more to destroy the tunnels, the primary military objective in this conflict. what happens after that? if the soldier particularly is not returned, what is the sort of plausible life cycle of the conflict? >> it's hard to say. israeli indications are that before this attack at rafah this morning, that israeli army was contemplating the cabinet was contemplating pulling out the army unilaterally. the israelis looked like they were looking for an out. after this attack today that's not the game. if anything, israel is going in even further. the tunnel issue is very difficult. israel thought captured over 90%

of these tunnels but how does it ever know? israel will decide it's finished with that operation and has leeway to do so. i don't know how they conclusive determine they've gotten all of the tunnels. >> robert danin, thank you for joining us. coming up next, after so much for recess and so much for a meaningful legislative solution to the humanitarian crisis on the border, we'll look at the latest dysfunction from debbie wasserman shultz and julie page join me. ♪ [music] jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today her doctor has her on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one. if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. if energy could come from anything?.

♪ sleep train ♪ ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ yesterday was a very bad

first day for new house majority whip, the man in charge of coraling gop votes. leadership was forced to yank their own bill dealing with the border vice sis because they couldn't get the votes, the votes for their own bill. in the next few hours republicans are expected to give it another try after adding tougher language and directing even more money to border state governors and more money in a bill that directed two-thirds of its funds to border security. in so doing they'll take a bill already too conservative to pass the senator get signed into law by the president and make it even more conservative, even less likely to pass senate and even more likely to get a presidential veto if it did. in a press conference this afternoon, president obama slammed the legislation. >> we all agree there's a problem that needs to be solved and house republicans as we speak are trying to pass the most extreme and unworkable

versions of a bill that they already know is going nowhere. they are not even trying to actually solve the problem. this is a message bill that they couldn't quite pull off yesterday so they made it more extreme so maybe they can pass it today. this is on an issue they all insisted had to be a top priority. >> of course yesterday's collapse on the house floor was par for the course in speaker john boehner's house, house republicans have over the last few years had to pull bills on transportation, health care, taxes and national security and much more. it is routine for republicans to put forward bills that are already way too conservative to pass the senate and watch the bills fail because they are still not conservative enough for house republicans. so today leadership will have another go with new language that is reportedly brought rekals trant conservatives on board and it is surprise, surprise, drawing new praise for leadership. >> i've got to credit our leadership. we've had a change in leadership, a maiden voyage for

two different people. i've got to say this bodes very well for them. they comported themselves differently than things had been handled in the past, how much better it is to actually be inclusive than telling people my way or the highway. >> they were in a jubilant mood. >> there are a lot of yeses in there, we fixed the bill substantially. it treats the other than mexicans the same as mexicans and the other bill didn't do that. >> what happened between last night and this morning is remarkable. stopping the invasion of illegal foreign nationals into our country. that's the decisive victory. the bill that's on the floor today is not a cosmetic change. the bill was gutted from what it was. >> what they are celebrating here isn't that they solved the problem. the house now has a weaker hand to play with the senate.

and likely eflt outcome is that obama will use his executive authority to push it through on his own, something republicans hate and are suing them over when they are not explicitly to do it as they did right after the bill failed. what the house conservatives are celebrating, they made their bill less likely to be law. they made their ability to negotiate with senate even weaker. it is an absolute inversion of what people are normally trying to do when they legislate, a bizarre way to run a chamber. joining me is chair of the democratic national committee, debbie wasserman-shultz. >> good to be with you. >> what happens next for the bill? when you and your colleagues look at this and look at what is possible, what do you think will be the next set of steps in the house? >> later on this evening, we as you said are going to pass legislation that was pushed for

and written by speaker ted cruz, who really is driving the train in the u.s. house of representatives and what they are celebrating is that they have -- had the tea party fully take over the republican party in the house of representatives. and so there are jubilant extreme tea partiers throughout the conference and that means we're going to further ensure that nothing gets done to address the humanitarian crisis on the border, that we won't have an opportunity to work with the united states senate, but we will have an opportunity under the legislation that they are going to push through tonight in trying to make sure that republicans in the tea party get their way, to prevent dreamers, our young dreamer immigrants who know no other country except the united states from having an opportunity to remain in the united states. president obama is president of the united states and won't let

that happen. >> the politics puzzle me. after the 2012 election you had republicans at all levels of the republican party come out and say, immigration is the thing we need to change. and you had an immigration bill pass the senate with marco rubio on board and other republican senators. to go from that -- that never made it through the house. to go from that to now making this primary immigration demand a con striks of how many dreamers are able to stay in the country, before not just the 2014 election but after that going to be another one of these presidential elections we seem to have every four years, what is the theory there? what are republicans going to do when any need to speak to the hispanic electorate? >> i think the republicans clearly have no comprehension about the priorities of hispanic voters across the country but also voters that care about moving our economy forward, about creating jobs and

investing in education and so when it comes to not just the 2016 election, ezra, but this election before us in 2014, voters will go to the polls and ask themselves, who has my back? they are going to go into the ballot box, i want to vote for a candidate chgs going to be a democrat in races all across the country, that understands that i just want to get ahead. i just want to have more opportunities for me to be able to join the middle class. and they'll look at the republican agenda, which is let's put more national guards on the border, guardsmen and women on the border and make it harder for dreamers to stay in the country. let's deport thousands of innocent children who are fleeing harm in their own home country as quickly as we can. let's sue president obama for doing his job while we're not doing ours and repeal health care more than 50 times. by the way, investigate benghazi for the 13th time and spent

millions shutting the government down to deny health care reform. that's the choice voters have going into the election and into 2016 when my counterpart reince priebus said that it wasn't -- it wasn't their policy. their policies were sound. it was the words that mattered. they needed to speak more nicely to groups they alienated and shows repeatedly that they simply don't get it. >> debbie wasserman-shultz, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> joining me now is white house correspondent for the associated press, julie pace. good to have you here. >> how are you? >> i'm good. what does this say about the competency of the new gop whip operation? >> it looks like a lot like the old gop whip operation. this is something that's happened multiple times. as stunning as it seems, we've been through this before. and it always seems to play out the same way, the republican leadership thinks they have the

votes and something happens over the course of a couple of hours on the conservative far right wing of the party. sometimes involving a certain member from the senate, and they realize they don't have the votes and scramble. so they are going to have to really i think take maybe this recess to look at how they can avoid having this happen again. it ends up being embarrassing. >> you know, there is one interpretation of this in which you can imagine there is sort of celebration going on behind you there in the white house as republicans continue to move further and further. when you look at the president's poll numbers on immigration, they look really, really bad, 31% approve, 68% disapprove in the newest ap poll. what do you think the white house sees as politics here? what do you think they intend to do next? >> one, whether it comes to the border issue and the president just talked about this in the news conference, there's going to be some kind of administrative action which may be reallocating funds and moving

personnel. there is a very immediate crisis at the border that needs to be dealt with and congress is going home without having dealt with it. then the broader issue is what is the president going to do in terms of executive actions that could halt deportations for some of the people who are in the united states illegally. this is something that the white house is definitely moving forward on regardless of what's been happening at the word border. there's a possibility you could see action before congress returns to washington. the question is really the scope. i think one of the things that they are going to be wrestling with is that it's unclear if they'll make anybody happy. they won't go as far as what the immigration advocates have been calling for but they will certainly go further than republicans want him to go. >> do you think we're likely to see a big move on executive action to legalize more folks? because there's been pretty persistent rumors over the last week they were going to go further than conventional wisdom

put it and it seems a lot of excitement among immigration reformers but it's hard to tell if it's pressure through prediction or coming out of good information. >> absolutely. when you do talk to advocates, they feel more optimistic about the scope of what the president will do then they did a couple of months ago. and there has been a subtle but noticeable shift in the president's rhetoric. if you remember back to basically any periods of time before the senate was moving on legislation, the president's focus when it came to executive actions was limitations of what he could do. there was nothing he could do beyond what he did with allowing the dreamers to stay in the country. now you see that the language is a little bit more expansive and talking about doing basically the most he could possibly do. we don't know yet what the actual number will look like. when you talk advocates, they talk about millions, allowed in

the country illegally right now, allowing them to stay. >> julie pace, thank you very much for joining me. >> thanks. >> coming up, eric cantor's swan song gets cut short by eric cantor, what the timing of the exit could mean for gop and mid terms is next. honey, look i got one to land. uh-huh.

yesterday in another unexpected move just hours after passing the majority leader torch over to kevin mccarthy, he said he would resign from congress early, on august 18th. cantor called for a special election to take place on november 4th so his successor could take place immediately, which would mean he would gain seniority in the house. i want to make sure the constituents in the seventh district will have a voice in what will be a very consequential lame duck session. his early resignation comes two months after he lost in the virginia primary to dave brat in a huge upset. the question on everybody's mind, what will eric cantor do next? is dark money the only way to eradicate dark money from politics? but there's a plan. he discusses his super pac to end all super pacs when he joins me next on "now."

in may harvard law professor embraced the very thing he spent the greater past of the last decade fighting. he launched a super pac to destroy all super pacs. >> yes, we want to spend big money to end the influence of big money. ironic, i get it, but embrace the irony, because with enough of us, we can easily build a super pac builder and more effective than the super pacs of the billionaires. >> apparently people have no problem embracing the irony, with under 100 days left, his super pac raised $7.7 million from small donors, far exceeding the $5 million goal and that means big donors hoped will give it millions more. he'll have over $12 million to

spend on the 2014 election. but the mission of mayday pac isn't just to raise money. it's to gain influence by electing congressional candidates who agree with it, that mayday pac is the problem who will vote for sweep being campaign reform necessary and ineffective. they announced they are throwing behind behind two candidates in two very important. in iowa, they endorsed stacey apel, running against david young, former chief of staff of republican senator chuck grassley. in new hampshire they are backing republican candidate jim rubens. why support a member of a party whose members voted in lock step to o peas even the most basic campaign reforms in years? he is the only republican senate candidate in the country who has endorsed reducing the role of

money in politics and running in a primary against prominent citizens unite the backers former massachusetts senator scott brown. joining me now is professor of harvard law school, lawrence husba lusig, great to see you. >> good to see you. >> this is going to be very hard. karl rove had a multi100 million dollar super pac and he knew campaigns and consultants didn't win races in 2012 and huge failure. what makes you confident you can take on these pretty tough races and flip them? >> well, what we're trying to do is establish in 2014 an idea which in washington sounds crazy, which is that american voters care about this issue, and they will vote on the basis of this issue and throw people out on the basis of this issue. we're doing that in a range of

districts. we announced two out of five. by the end of the cycle, nobody can doubt anymore if properly messaged and properly engaged, americans will eventually vote to end the corrupting influence of money and politics. that's the objective to set ourselves up for 2016 and much bigger campaign when we want to win in congress that would pass legislation that would change the way elections are fundsed. >> but to push you on this, what makes you think, if that's the objective, what makes you think you can achieve it. big money politics is a huge problem but it is also not always as effective in any individual case as it's backers think. a lot of super pacs have gone in and wasted money. when you chose the races and hiring political consultants and trying to figure out how to get these wins so it will be clearly attributed to the mayday pac, what's your strategy now that

you're further along? >> when a race becomes a prominent race, the political consultants descend on it and tell the candidates, don't talk about money and politics because people don't care about it. we don't see this issue surfaced because the political game is steering candidates away from it. we believe in fact, if properly messaged it will change the way people vote. this is an em pier cal question and part of it will be on us to demonstrate that we can succeed am messaging around the issue effectively so people decide to vote on the basis of it. our belief is based on the way we've seen people move and polls we've done as we've framed this issue around money and politics, that we will substantially change the results in these races and it will be attributed to this intervention. if it's successful in doing that, we set ourselves up for a bigger intervention in two years. >> talk to me about that

framing. people in polls overwhelmingly say they loathe the influence of big money and politics. but at the same time, there is a conventional wisdom in washington that they will not vote on it and not an issue that moves them. what is it in your polls and work you're doing? what is the message you think will move people? >> well, i think part of what makes people nonresponsive in the traditional political campaign is that while they are so skeptical of -- while they are so cynical about the influence of money and politics, they are skeptical that the politicians want to do anything about it. and what we find is when we present really an independent perspective or independent influence that's trying to talk about the role that money has and how it can be changed, that they are more receptive to listening and responding to that particular intervention. so i think that actually being independent from the candidates gives us an opportunity to bring

voters around to this issue, that otherwise candidates on their own can't. in some sense, the candidates feel hip critical talking about this issue if they are credible. they are taking big money and trying to get super pacs to back them with big money. for them to turn around and say to the people, yeah, no, i'm against big money or want to get big money out of politics is a hard message to sell, which is why in 2012, even though the number two issue on gallup's poll, the next administration should deal with is quote corruption in washington, which at that time nobody was thinking about rob blagojevich neither would talk about the issue because there was no credible place to talk about money in politics while fleeing themselves around the country raising money. an independent perspective can and will have the effect of rallying people to actually make this an issue they vote on. >> good look.

in what is pretty much the scariest sentence i can imagine speaking allowed, the world health organization says ebola is moving faster than efforts to contain it. that news is adding to unease in u.s. as emery university hospital has an air ambulance is preparing to bring the first of two u.s. citizens back for treatment. that means ebola will be on u.s. soil. they are reported to be in serious condition but stable enough to travel. the special transport that will bring them back to the states can only carry one patient at a time and outfitted to contain the virus and maintain treatment for the duration of the flight. both are bound for a sophisticated isolation unit at emery university hospital and the state department said in a

statement today that safety is their paramount concern, every precaution is being taken to move the patient safely and securely to provide critical care en route. it is very clear that some were not happy about the pending arrival of a deadly disease on our shores. a headline asks, who invited ebola to atlanta? the alarm is understandable. this is the largest and deadliest outbreak of the disease in the four decade history. centered in the west african countries, more than 1300 people have been infected and more than 700 have died. but the good news, if there is good news, ebola is scarier and more lethal than it is actually contagious. joining me now is science reporter with vox, susanna lox. my mother has isn't me in the last 24 hours, 24,000 e-mails

you about how she is terrified about ebola coming to our shores. should we be terrified? is this something that there's reason to believe a sophisticated hospital couldn't contain? >> what's going on right now, these people are going to a very special isolation unit which was designed exactly for this purpose, one of only four in the united states. so what's going on now, it's not something that is unplanned for, or -- it is unusual but there are protocols in place where people know what ee bol la can do and what it can't do. they are going to be following every protocol to make sure that everything goes according to plan. >> one of the things really striking in the coverage of this has been the degree to which we think of ebola as a technology problem, we don't have a vaccine yet. but the degree to which the reporting you suggest is often a public health practices problem, because ebola is not airborne

contagious like some diseases are, that a big part of the reason it is spreading so fast is simply bad public health practices in much poorer country. if you could isolate the folks and have good hygiene practices you can arrest the spread fairly quickly. is that basically accurate? >> it is something where people know what to do. there have been many outbreaks and many outbreaks that have been contained. the problem in this case there haven't been enough resources and boots on the ground to contain it yet. it can be easy to look at what's happening and think oh, my gosh will that happen to us? but western africa, where this is happening in the world, these are some of the poorest nations on earth. they don't have doctors like we have. they don't have hospitals like we have. some places they don't even have gloves or chlorine to sisterlyize things. there are reports of people dying in villages before they even see any medical practice

tigser at all. and the steps to contain an ebola outbreak are very well established and well known. you have to identify who has the disease. then you isolate them so they don't infect anyone else and figure out who they may have had very close contact with and it's like detective work how it goes down. >> in terms of trying to get those to come forward, there's a fascinating video put out with doctors without borders interviewing a survivor of ebola. >> why are they making that such a priority to demisty fi the disease? >> it can be scary for people in these communities, especially if you don't have a good relationship with health care. these people are coming in and often they have gowns and goggles and suits for

protection. that's kind of creepy. then people are telling you to come to this place to get treated and a lot don't come out alive. >> thank you very much for being here. >> thank you. >> after the break, just last hour, president obama weighed in on torture and cia role after 9/11. his very frank comments are next on "now." you owned your car for four years. you named it brad. you loved brad. and then you totaled him. you two had been through everything together. two boyfriends. three jobs. you're like "nothing can replace brad!" then liberty mutual calls. and you break into your happy dance. if you sign up for better car replacement, we'll pay for a car that's a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better

you're going down! yeah! lowering cholesterol is a big deal, especially if you have high cholesterol plus any of these risk factors, because you could be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects. are you down with crestor!? ask your doctor if crestor could help you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

confidence in cia director john brennan a day after brennan admitted the agency improperly accessed computers of senate intelligence committee staffers and then apologized for it. actions senator john mccain called worse than criminal. the cia spying came as senate intelligence committee was investigating those interrogation techniques the president called torture. it's compiled into a 6,000 page report, a redacted version is expected to be released soon. accountability, of course, to be determined. that is all for "now", alex returns monday at 4:00 p.m. "the ed show" is up next. >> good evening, americans and welcome to "the ed show", i'm ready to go, lots to talk about. let's get to work! >> they are doing so little or nothing at all to help working

families. >> talking up some nut so extreme. >> said to speaker boehner. >> when is he going to take responsibility for something? >> the best way to avoid me acting on my own -- work with me to actually do something. >> doing something is better than doing nothing. i'm right there. door is always open. >> i'll go to them. i'll -- you know -- wash their car. walk their dogs. >> republicans continue to work tirelessly. >> good to have you with us tonight, thanks for watching, here the latest on immigration, after failing to pass a border bill on thursday, house republicans are expected to vote even more radical bills, two of them tonight. republicans had meetings all day
