cr takes them to same exact scenario in three weeks. >> a bad episode of "ground hog day." thanks for the time, frank. that's all for "now." good evening americans, and welcome to "the ed show" live from new york. let's get to work. tonight, the latest on the dhs funding fight. >> this is not just an inside the beltway political jousting. >> house republican have a plan that's a staggering failure of leadership. >> we have passed a bill to fund the department. >> skip the drama and pass our bill now. >> a failure to fund the department of homeland security fully has real impacts on public safety. later, rising environmental concerns in the arctic. >> melt at the polar icecaps.

>> projected faster than even the present-day models. >> nature doesn't like an imbalance. >> we have passed the point of no return. >> but climate change still gets an icy reception in congress. >> it's very very cold out. very unseasonable. mr. president, catch this. i may be their number one target. >> if i can take on 100,000 protesters i can do that across the world. good to have you with us tonight, folks. we start with what's unfolding on the house floor. house republicans are putting on a clean dhs bill. the house is tallying the votes on a three-week extension of dhs

funding. three weeks, so that means they can come back and bicker some more. the resolution does not defund president obama's immigration actions, which is good news. if this passes the short-term fix will head to the senate. the white house said president obama would go ahead and sign it. so if it passes the mess will happen again in three weeks and you can thank house republicans for all of this. they're divided house is causing this. earlier today, the senate did the job. they voted 68-31 on approving a long-term clean dhs funding bill, a standalone bill. house speaker john boehner is not doing his job. he can't get everybody on board. he bowed to tea party pressure again. whatever happened to these up or down votes that the republicans have always been squealing about? earlier today, democratic leader

nancy pelosi slammed the house speaker. >> the security of our country is our first responsibility to protect and defend. there's enough uncertainty in the world without injecting more uncertainty as to when and how we're going to fund our homeland security. i'm just saying to the speaker, get a grip. get a grip, mr. speaker. get a grip on the responsibility that we have. get a grip on the legislative possibilities that are here. he can bring his three-week bill to the floor and the senate bill to the floor, let members vote on both send them both forward. >> all so easy to get done isn't it? if this bill fails tonight, they may stick around and come up with something different. who knows where this is all going to end up but a shutdown is looming. i'm sure at one time or another you have been on a commercial airline and you have had to go through the tsa. where did the tsa come from?

it came from the republican party who wanted to make sure we were going to protect the country because we were afraid of bombs getting on airplanes. i do fly commercial quite a bit. these people do what they're supposed to do. they pay attention. they ask a lot of questions. they're about particulars. they're about security. now keep in mind folks, that if we stop funding the department of homeland security all of these tsa agents still have to go to work and they're not going to get paid. you may ask why would they do that. because they want to keep their job. this is the party that has been asking president obama where are the jobs. sure, i guess they want jobs but they don't want to pay anybody all because this president tried to do something on immigration and the tea party doesn't want to see him have the victory. this is paralleling the kind of

fight that's taking place on fast track. there's a number of republicans in the house who do not want to give the president fast track because they don't like him. i'm sure this is the case as well. we documented on this program last night the numbers. when it comes to border security -- not once did any of them say this is how we have enhanced border security over the last six years and we're even going to do more. they don't have numbers. all they have is a target and the target is the obama administration. so it's very clear that boehner has zero credibility and he has zero control of the radical fringe righties in the house. as i said earlier this week this all goes back to gerrymandering. these republicans who are tea partiers, they have socially engineered the house that makes it possible for them to do things like this because they know they're going to be able to

go home and be praised when they get home. why? because they stopped obama and the democrats. that's what this is. they all connect. i think the only reason that boehner is caving right now is because he's worried about his speakership. this guy loves being the boss. he doesn't want to give up the gavel. he's the man. he spent all those years in congress doing all those deals to get to this point and damn it, he's just not going to give it up. he knows damn well the republicans don't want to do anything about immigration anyway. he knows if he doesn't support the tea partiers he's history. he's going to be known as the political dr. no because they even ushered out the guy who was the king of obstruction. think about this three-week decision, this bill they are voting on right now. i have a hunch they're not going

to have enough votes, that they're going to have to go back to the drawing table if they care about the security of the country. put yourself in congress right now. tonight's question -- would you vote for a three-week extension to dhs funding? text "a" for yes. text "b" for no. we'll bring you the results later. nobody better on this subject than bob shrum. bob, good to have you with us tonight. >> good to be here. >> is this about boehner? what is this? what's the dichotomy of the house that's holding this up as you see it? >> it is about boehner. he's more concerned about saving his speakership than he is about defending the country. there's a structural problem here as well. in the house because of gerrymandering, you have a lot of folks who are more worried about being primaried from the

right than they are about a general election. why did the senate act more responsibly? because you have a whole lot of republicans who have to run in 2016 many of them in blue states. republicans have to stop putting bull blank in essential bills, but i think we're going to see a real crisis here when this three-week extension fails, which it apparently is going to fail. if it does fail, they're going to have to go back to the drawing boards because they're going to be held responsible if the dhs is defunded. >> the republicans have made a living on saying, we're the folks who protect the country. let's play politics right now. is this the democratic party saying this is important, you're not going to let anything else get in the way because in three weeks they're going to come back

with another issue and try to horse trade this off? >> boehner is so afraid that he's going to be deposed that he has to keep doing this broken field running. this is incredibly embarrassing. it is amazing to see a speaker of the house who can't deliver his own caucus on an issue like this. have the same fight all over again in three weeks, but it's all boehner thought he could do. when he looks at this, he has to be worried very much about the fighting coming down the road like raising the debt limit and the tea party members that he's trying to corral -- >> they are trying to wrangle the votes to get this to pass and they apparently can't get it done. they are real nervous about that

obviously. the fact is there is no plan "b." bob, your take? >> the right thing is to put the senate bill on the floor of the house. it will pass. it will get enough republican votes. it will get almost all the democratic votes. the difficulty with people like steve king the anti-immigration congressman from iowa is that he just won't give in. he insists on a purely ideological approach to this. ted cruz even stepped back. he didn't try to delay this. there's an understanding on the part of these folks if they want to be competitive in an election in 2016 they have to stop playing these kinds of games. >> let's say they do get the votes and this does pass what's your call on what unfolds in the next three weeks? is it the continuing pounding on

immigration and the executive order or is it another issue, maybe corporate tax reductions? >> no, i think boehner will then play out. if it passed i think boehner would play out this ka booky theater where he says we want to go to conference with the senate. in the end, that's not going to happen. boehner has to figure out how to pass a clean funding bill for the department of homeland security. these guys came to office saying they weren't going to shut down the government, they weren't going to shutdown part of the government. all the polling shows voters don't want these issues to be yolked together. charlie dent who is a republican congressman from pennsylvania, said it pretty well earlier today. he said his cheegolleagues in the house are deluded. they just can't recognize they

can't have their way. >> they're trying to get enough votes to pass a three-week extension on funding the department of homeland security. earlier today the senate voted 68-31 on long-term bill the long-term funding. boehner would not even bring that to the floor, so he agreed to bring this to the floor. the republicans can't get enough votes to pass this which underscores that boehner just -- i mean he can't throw enough promises to the tea party to get them to move on this. this is how stuck in the ideological country these republicans are when it comes to defeating the president or making sure that they get their way on immigration. bob shrum, which is it or both? >> eventually, they have to fund dhs. if they close it down or shut off the payments there will be

a tremendous reaction against them. mcconnell knows this. the smart republican consultants all know this. boehner is going to have to maneuver very hard in the next three weeks if they want to succeed on passing this thing. they're going to have to go out there with a hammer and see if they can get people to switch their votes. it's about 20 votes behind. 20 more people voting no than yea. it says zero at the bottom of the screen. i think that's where boehner is right now. he's at point zero and he has to come up with a new strategy. >> it's 5:00 on friday. they're cutting into cocktail hour and they can't get the vote down. remember to answer tonight's question there at the bottom of the screen. that is if you were there would you vote for a three-week extension, all right? share your thoughts with us on

203-224. so there is no plan ""b." 203-224. there will be no three-week extension. we're told there is not a plan "b," but funding for the department of homeland security will expire tonight at 12:01 a.m. during a q and a at cpac scott walker said he has union busting skills are transferable to combatting global terrorism. >> i want a >> we will have soon who leads and ultimately will send a message not only will we protect american soil but do not take this upon freedom-loving people elsewhere in the world.

if i take on 100,000 protesters i can do the same around the world. walker >> walker came up with a different isis analogy for hannity. >> working ingthey're like a virus. >> you will all misconstrue things the way you see it, but i think it is pretty clear. back in his home state, walker's push for a union busting measure is gaining traction with his party. a public hearing on right to work was cut short by republicans. he wants to cut $300 million out of the state's public university system. this is a very specific bombshell and there is a very

specific bombshell in his budget proposal. it is known as item 25 which states universities would no longer have to report the number of sexual assaults that take place on a campus to the department of justice. joining me tonight on all of this john nichols and jean ross a registered nurse for 40 years. ms. ross let's go to you first, if we can, tonight. are unions like militant groups? >> well we have 185,000 registered nurses across the country. i don't know that they would call us like a militant army but we certainly do stand up for ourselves, our patients and the health of the country. if that makes us militants, then i guess we are. >> are you offended by those comments, and do you accept his analogy in any way?

>> of course i don't accept his analogy. yes, it is very offensive, but he's being quite honest. unfortunately, he's not alone. people aren't used to us standing up for our rights anymore in this country. we have been trodden upon for so long. this is bound to happen. it is very important that we be able to stand up protest, and protect our rights. >> all right. john, a dnc spokesman said this if scott walker thinks it is appropriate to compare working people standing up for their rights to brutal terrorists equalqualifyied to be president than i thought he was. >> i have known scott walker for a long time. i think presidential politics has brought out the worst in the man. >> does he not have a compass on

what to say or what plays? >> he has said stuff like this before. his book "unintimidated" was filled with bravado saying i didn't listen to those folks. i didn't let them push me around. he's a political juneky. he watches all the news shows and reads all the papers. he has to know the people out there in wisconsin are nurses librarians teachers, children, seniors who were worried about senior care people worried about medicare with illnesses. everybody thinks this was just a workers' demonstration. small business owners farmers. for scott walker to casually suggest that taking them on gave

him the experience to work on the global stage -- if he thinks that's the experience he needs, he ought to rethink who he is and he also ought to study up on what the real threats are. >> the nation deserves an apology. what's your reaction to that? >> i think that that's accurate. i agree totally with what john just said. it's so difficult nowadays to get people to stand up for what they believe in and to protect our rights. when you are fortunate enough or good enough to get a strong grass roots movement where it isn't just union members, but it is all the people that john just mentioned, all standing up together saying you can't do this to us anymore and to have that likened to terrorism, it does deserve an apology. >> jean does this underscore

how vehement he is in his hatred for unions? he despises collective bargaining. he compared them to people who are cutting people's heads off. >> he's not alone. sometimes this anti-union becomes sort of a religion to people. it defies all logic. it defies sense. one of the places that you lose rights that we have as citizens of this country is rights in the workplace. the only way we have being able to stand up for ourselves and in our case our patients is that we have a union contract to protect us. he thinks that those kinds of things should be abolished and that employers should be able to run rough shod over employees and it doesn't make for safety for us and it doesn't make for a good citizenry.

>> john nichols, what's the political downside? >> a number of leading conservative righters and others have said this is really bad. >> does it hurt him? >> i think it does hurt him. >> not ready for primetime? >> i think that conversation will begin. he is playing against tough players. do you really want somebody saying something like that in an october debate? i don't think so. we're going to get fresh reaction to the homeland security funding bill that just failed. chris hollins joins us next. stay with us. we're right back. n san diego, we're building the first one ever to run on natural gas. ships this big running this clean will be much better for the environment. we're proud to be a part of that.

right now, buy one pair and get another free. welcome back to "the ed show." house dhs funding bill has failed. dhs funding is still set to expire at midnight tonight.

chuck -- let's go live to chris hollins hollins. the clean bill never came to the floor for full funding on this over the long haul and now the short-term bill has failed. where to you go from here? the house is in recess now. what's plan "b"? >> the speaker has run out of excuses for not bringing that bipartisan senate bill that provides full funding for the department of homeland security not for one week not for two weeks, not for three weeks, but through the whole fiscal year. that bipartisan senate bill is right here in the house of representatives. all the speaker has to do is bring it up for a vote and it would pass tonight and it could go to the president's desk for

the president's signature. >> why didn't he do it? why didn't he bring up that clean bill? >> he didn't do it because he wants to keep this uncertainty going with respect to the department of homeland security. he has a lot of members in the republican caucus who want to play games with the funding. he was catering to his most extreme wing. now that that didn't work and the funding expires at midnight all the speaker has to do -- very simple -- bring up that senate bill for a vote. we could have the department of homeland security fully funded for the rest of fiscal year. >> has john boehner joined the tea party? >> well, what we're seeing once again is he's being led around by the nose by the most extreme elements of his party. he went down that dead-end path

again. at some point, the speaker's got to learn. he's got to lead the whole house, not be led by a small extreme tea party faction of the house. >> so this emboldens the tea party if we understand where they came from and how arrogant they are when it comes to government, and this really strips the senate of power in a sense. you still got those damn tea partiers over in the house you have to deal with. they're running the country right now. that's what it looks like. >> they are. there's a simple way out of that dilemma right now. if the speaker puts the security of the homeland above the tea party ideology in the house, then we can do it. if he puts it up for a vote, ed, we will pass it tonight. no more nonsense. >> the only issue that's going

to move the tea party immigration? >> that appears to be the issue they've decided to threaten to shut down funding for the department until they get their way on immigration reform and the president's executive order. you know, we all disdisagree. i disagree with the decision by the federal district court judge, but you would thought the republicans would have seen that as an opportunity to do the right thing now. >> is boehner worried about his speakership? is this personal that he knows if it goes up for a vote, then political knives come out and he has no chance and he has to do this? >> this may be the moment the speaker has to decide to do what's right for the country, not just for keeping his seat

warm. i don't know all the dynamics, ed, in the republican caucus right now, but what i do know is what's clear to everybody. most republicans in the senate and democrats alike, this is a moment for the speaker to do the right thing for the country. >> congressman, is there anything short of full funding that the democrats could agree to? okay, you didn't vote for the three-week fix. give me a number. >> the number is the full year. why should we do for the department of homeland security anything less than we do for any other agency of the federal government? all the other agencies of the federal government are funded through the remainder of this fiscal year through the end of september. the republicans have held up the funding for the department of homeland security despite the threats we saw in paris and denmark and the rest of new york, despite all of that we have decided to hold funding for the department of homeland security, one of the main

departments that is essential to try to protect us from those terrorist threats, they decided to hold that hostage and play games with that. >> how do you think mitch mcconnell feels tonight? >> well, i think he's actually -- what it shows him in a way is that he has made the right call in the sense that the senate is not the one, is not the body responsible for preventing the funding from flowing for the department of homeland security. the senate voted to fund the department of homeland security. that bill again, is right here. i mean it's right here in the house of representatives. we could get it done right away and move on to talk about other important issues for the country. >> finally, it sounds like the

democrats have done their business. you have said what you're going to vote on. it's either this or nothing. there's no negotiation tonight. you want the full funding. now it's up to boehner. it's the end of the day for the democrats. >> just to be clear, ed that's exactly what's in the bill that's before the house. the senate bill. >> senate bill, 6831. >> it's simple. it's clean. it's bipartisan. i know the votes are here to pass it. you have every single democrat who wontants to vote for full funding for the department of homeland security through the end of the year. i know for republicans to get a majority of the vote if only the speaker would put democracy and the ability of democracy to work its will in front of this small faction that continues to lead the country down this dead-end path. >> thanks for joining us

tonight. the vote was 203-224. the three-week extension did not pass. there is no plan "b." the house is in recess. funding expires tonight. i don't think boehner will change his mind. there's more coming up on "the ed show." stay with us. stocks end the month higher but lower on the day. the dow falls 81 the s&p sheds 6, and the nasdaq is off 24. a report showing economic growth slowed to a 2.2 annual rate last quarter. that's down from a previous estimate. apple ceo tim cook has told a british paper that the apple watch may replace the need for car keys and will have a battery that can last all day. that's it from cnbc, first in

the president's national security adviser says it's destructionde destructive for the prime minister of israel to address the united states congress next week. i couldn't disagree more. that's why it is so important for the american people to hear what prime minister netanyahu has to say about the threats we are facing. >> boehner broke precedent when he invited the prime minister without consulting the white house or the congress. the white house sees it as a

deliberate attempt to undermine ongoing nuclear negotiations with iran. republicans see it as just another opportunity to pit themselves against the president. when it comes to iran's nuclear program, there's an important common ground. the devil is in the details. netanyahu wants enriched uranium to be shut down. netanyahu isn't buying it and says no deal is better than a bad deal. now republicans are giving him center stage to bash president obama's policies on the house floor. the senate has until march 24th to vote on additional sanctions on iran which the president doesn't want which means congress could still be playing a critical role in all of these negotiations. joining me tonight in our rapid

response panel lacy heely from the center of arms control and my other guest. there's a lot of somethingthings flowing around john boehner's office at this hour. why not allow benjamin netanyahu to come and speak his piece? >> well ed, the most important thing here and really the bottom line is that we're only two weeks out from netten yahooanyahu's election. this is why really ultimately regardless of the prime minister's thoughts on the ongoing iranian negotiations this is not the right time for him to be addressing congress. >> steve, does this sour a possibility of a deal as you see it? >> well it may strengthen a

deal because the prospect of netanyahu speaking ran other members of congress in the other direction. it backfired on netanyahu. it's a very bad thing for the united states and israel because it makes everyone worry. you need the region to stand whole and understand if you do get a deal with iran that the region is behind that. that europe is with us. that israel is with us and that iran needs to know its track is forward to become a healthy nation down the road, not one that can separate allies. >> doesn't this speech by netanyahu to the congress give the iranians all the ammunition they need when it comes to souring a deal giving them an out? giving them an excuse saying the

americans can't be trusted. what about that? >> well it certainly isn't helpful for the prime minister to be giving this speech in front of congress right now. there are two pieces of legislation in congress right now. one that would require an up or down vote on this final deal, if we're actually able to get one, and that's where we're going to provide the iranians an excuse to walk away from the table if they want and where we'll endanger our relationship with our international allies as well. >> steve, what about more sanctions? are the democrats going to go right with the president on this? >> the question is if you apply more sanctions now, it will kill the deal. iran may be tempted to walk away. they don't trust the united states. that's fundamentally what this is about. if things come apart, not only will more democrats come on

board for sanctions -- i have heard john kerry say if this doesn't work that could trip us into a war. this is not just sanctions over iran's nuclear program. are we going to find a way to seduce iran back into responsible stake holding with other nations or are we going to be on a track that takes us directly into contact with a nuclear program that iran has? >> always a pleasure. coming up we'll have more on the failure of the dhs funding extension in the house. keep it right here. we're right back. because it's nice'n easy color so natural looking it's clairol's #1 authentic color that's always true to you. so shift a shade and still look like your most amazing you.

welcome back to "the ed show." we're following this hour's breaking news. we're just about to get some reaction from capitol hill on this. the three-week extension of the department of homeland security funding, that bill has failed in the house in a very dramatic fashion. they kept the vote open as long as they could. they could not wrestle enough votes, and it failed. 203-224. after speaker boehner tried to get more votes from the tea party, which, of course would not budge. homeland security funding expires at 12:01 a.m. tonight. and there is no plan b at this moment for the funding. so right now the house is in recess. everybody's standing around in the office wondering, okay what's next? it's in that man's court right there. speaker john boehner from ohio. earlier today the senate voted

68-31 on a clean funding bill meaning that there was nothing attached to it had nothing to do with immigration or anything else. they passed it 68-31, senate over the house and john boehner would not bring it to the floor. what he did bring to the floor was a three-week extension of funding for the department of homeland security. steny hoyer, the whip of the democrats, went to the floor and asked all democrats and people in his party not to support it. the democrats are holding the line when it comes to making sure that this is going to be a stand-alone fully-funded effort by the congress to protect the country. this, of course, means that over 200,000 employees now are going to be going to work and they're not going to be getting paid. so you're probably to be running into a lot of good attitudes at the airports around the country from tsa personnel. let's go now for more reaction for what happened the last hour on capitol hill. let's speak with congress and

tim ryan of ohio. congressman good to have you with us. >> good to be with you, ed. >> do you thing this is what the people of ohio want? >> no they want stable government. and we just can't seem to get it from the republicans. i mean we've got a group of extremists, ed that are really running the top down here. we can't get a bill just to fund the homeland security. we have the prime minister of israel coming next week. there's going to be a lot of diplomats here. and we're going to shut down homeland security, and we were in this rat race here where it's two weeks, three week three weeks more. you can't run an operation like that. it's ridiculous. >> how committed were the democrats not to move on this bill tonight? were there some in caucus that says let's do the three week? was there much of ab argument among from the democrats to go down this road? >> not a whole lot. there were people that represent the people in homeland security in northern virginia or other little pockets throughout the country who voted the other way,

but for the most part, i think we got to stand our ground and say, hey, we need a functioning government here. we can't govern three weeks at a time. there are budgets, there are people working, there are families, like get your act together and let's make sure we fund the government. there's a bill out there, a clean bill till september 30th. this is about arithmetic ed. john boehner does not have the votes in his own caucus. there aren't the votes in the senate to do what the tea party people want. there's a democratic president in the white house. they're not going to get everything they want. this is about arithmetic. and figure out, you know what you can get done get as much as you can and make a deal that moves the ball down the field. >> so who are these people in the house? who are the ringleaders in the house that simply would not budge on this bill? >> there's about 50 members. it's your republican study committee, it's your most extreme conservative members of the republican caucus. ideological. have said things in their

congressional district against president obama, so therefore, they can't agree with anything that he wants, even when he said, give me a three-week bill it's better than nothing. >> so not to interrupt you, but this is still about obama. i mean this right down to these tea partiers in the house, these hardline conservatives, it's about not giving this president what heed mes to protect the country? >> right. it's about obama, about immigration, about the cpac conference that's going up the street cranking everybody up to be the most extreme conservative they can possibly be. and they somehow tie this to the constitution. i'm telling you, ed we're dealing with the tail wagging the dog here. we have a small group of extremists that are running the entire united states congress. this is why we can't get a transportation bill. this is why we can't invest in education, research and development, this is why we can't get a tax deal all because of this group of 50 members who, if boehner doesn't do every single thing that they

want, they threaten to take him out as speaker. >> so it's the survival of the speaker. that's part of the equation as you see it? >> no doubt about it. there's probably meetings happening right now on capitol hill plotting how to take out speaker boehner from the republican caucus. there's no question in my mind right now. >> so you think there are moderate republican if there's any left certainly not the tea partiers, that are thinking maybe boehner's not our guy. but where else would they go? i mean would they come up with -- of course they would probably come up with a more moderate guy than boehner who wouldn't kowtow to the party that would have brought that bill to the floor. >> i think boehner needs to stand up to them. speaker boehner has the votes and the moderates of the majority in the caucus. he can withstand a coup. stand strong bring these moderate bills to the floor and maybe we can get some legislation. maybe he can pull 30 40 50 democrat votes for transportation bill. i mean let's invest in the

country. >> so quickly, tim, is boehner a tea partier tonight? >> we're going to find out. the clock's ticking. >> congressman tim ryan with us here on the ed show tonight. the drama unfolds on capitol hill. that's "the ed show." i'm ed schultz. "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starpts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening. thanks to you for tuning in. we continue with the breaking news. a stunning failure by house republicans putting funding for homeland security in jeopardy. we're now just six hours from a shutdown of the agency. the clock is ticking down. and the mood in washington is frantic. with reports of speaker boehner furiously still trying to drum up for votes a last-ditch short-term bill. it's
