washington to decide credibility. time magazine's rson of the year. >> in a way, it is a no-brainer. we made a conscious decision as chairmaman ryan said in a few short weeks we have had to focus on where we caagree. paul ryan and

patty murray. marco rubio immediately criticized t deal. other republicans have weighed in against the d deal because it inincreases s spending levels. liberals do not like it becae on implementxtend benefits and squeezes pension out of future and prent employees. >> it is a deal. the nature of compromise is that you are happy about some things, unhappy about others. sayinhebio coming out had not read it yet, but -- that is what is wrong with washington. these guys did what people have done for hundrs of years in this country. until recently. it is the way to govern. it is not perfect but it is better than the alternatives, as they have figured out. waiting u up all night for the white smoke to come ou of the chimney. when it came, my heart leapt. it is aa deal thatat will prevea

shutdown. from a purely partisan republican perspective, it means instead of worrying about shutdowns with a focus on ism,blan of instruction is i instead of all of that, we will have the s spectle and attention of the nation on t train wreck that will be obamacare in january when people show up and do not have insurance which they thoughght they signed up for. from a partisan perspectivive, this is exactly what republicans needed. paul ryan was the man to get it. deal.was a i s there for debate yesterday on the house floor. bet the words and phrases "common ground and "not what i would have written myself but we were to accept compromise"

spen more than since baracack obama was elected president. i did not realize vertebrate transplants were covered under the affordable car act, but i just learned jn boehner has a backbone. he cut loose -- >> he is free. >> john boehehner taking on the heritage actction group, which d been helpful enough to the party th it contributed to shutting down the government. but or that, the republicans would be 10 points ahead in the polls. the civil war is far from over. >> look at the bipartisanan thig that happened with the deal. april 2 ofing about 10 years or so, $23 billion reduced in thehe budget. caps on discretionary spending. each side gives up something important, especially the democrats on pensions.

maryland hollen of hispted a pension cut which his constituents hard, but he stepped up and made a compromisese. positive things happened. on the other han you have a scorched earth policy being pursued by somon the far right , in the sense that they want to destroy anything that will help the enemy. you want to destroy the enemy's assets. this is what peoplee the hetage group have been trying to do to the democrats. >> let's talk about the deal itself in terms of what liberals have said, among other things, no extension of unemployment benefits.. whichaddition to that, virtually every speaker addressed, a passionately and unrstandably, we have really cut back to the point where

discretionary spending, the investment in researchch and education, has been cut back and will be to the lowest percentage since before world war ii if this agreement hds.. at a time whene are still struggling canonically, for the economy to grow, austerity is not a wise policy. >> sequester is not a wise policy and everyone recoizes that and wanted to give some leay. republican did not want to sequester. itould have hit the defense department big if it were across the board. if you look at the economic figures, in the last few months, the economy does seem poised to take off if we do not do anything trible to it. this does provide a certain level of certainty. >> one of the details in the discretionary spending, a

decrease of $967 billion over what would have happened if they hadd just stayed with the cuts n january. because of that, we will have an increase in discretionary spending. >> this s marks e lim of cuttinthe discretionary part of the budget. everyone understands that is not where the money is anyway. what we artalking about here is rnding errors, tens of billions of dollars, when trillions of dollars a at stake in the entitlements. weave a president unwilling to do anything about entitlements. i suspect as long as he is in office and pelosi is leing the democrats in-house,he said she would not allow social security or medicare to be touch. ,t the end of this presidency we willave to have national action on entitlements. this deal sets it up because there is nowherere to go on discretionary. >> senat warren opts to think

>> and they pushed us into this fight to defund obamacare and shut down the government, but you recall the day before, one of the groups stood up and said we never thought it would work. are you kidding me? myanyone who thinks that vote i for sale to heritage action is sadly mistakaken. i would ask anybody who is attacking these outside groups, what is it that these outside groups saiyesterday about t this deal tt ifalse today? >> we can te you what they said. the tea party does not like i they heritage action does not like it. ofy are accusing paul ryan pitulation. his response was this -- if you

want to get something done, you have to be criticized. republicans do not run everything. aprently there are people in washington who find that kind of reasoning toxic, charles. >> letet me start wi an editorial note. i love how you cannot wait to get t your teethth into republis throwing mud at republicans, on a week when this administration -- by the way, the viewers, you will not hear anything about the secretary of hhs unilaterally changing every deadline in the obamare law without any legal authority, in way that is astonishing. but you will not hear about it on this show. >> we just did. >> this feels like a filibuster. >> did he mention fox? i is, where the big issue

santa is white and jesus is white? is that the fox we are talking about? let's not go there. foxe are talking about the that explains to people -- >> jesus is white and santa is white. >> i would like to quote abc the who pointed out of seven republican house mbers runnin for the senate in 2014, six of them voteted against thte deal. of the thrhree senate prpresidel candidates who we are looking at potentially for016, ted cruz, rand paul, and marco rubio, all ree are against the deaeal. he republican leader of the senate terrified himself by a tea party challengerom and mitch mcconnell, and john cornyn, the foformer supreme cot absolutely it

jittery because eve stockman, a marginal candidate, is running against him in the primary. he has come t against the dealal. is it continuing civil war in the party of charles' affectcti? it is. has $32,000 --an raid $250,000 and has one elections. and weiner --yans oehner's understood was that the republican party could become a marginal party. shuttingng down -- if down is their way of governing, it will not work in the general election. >> lindsey graham says is is aa fight for the het and soul of the republican party. >> it pbably is, because he

said so. what you have going o on is serious. you have pple who want to govern, house republicanan leadership, and people who ar not interested in doing that. you have people on t other side who see govnment as the enemy. you do not want to feed d at beast. you do nonot fe it cutting everything out. that is whatat they wawant to d. the scorched earth policy i mentioned earlier, getting rid all the assets indiscriminately. i can undederstand the responsie members of the republican party, , the viceboehner president of nominee that was oncece loved by my colleague on the lef-- >> your far right. >> are you done now? you have all had a great time.

this is completely overblown, this is a tempest in a teapot. the main argument is about tactics. there are a lot of people who want to express their principle of not expanding the government. i understand that and respect it, but the ryan's and the boehner's are right in that there are ways toto act on it. if you do not hthnate and the presidency, you cannot cut the budget. about as ae talking faction that takes the short view, and one that takes the long view. the longer perspective is the ryanan perspective. you get the shutdowns a and the deadlines out of the way. obamacare will swing the election next year. lelet it be center stage. do not get in the way when the otheguy is committing suicide. if anything, hand him a piststo. >> i hope charles is not

disappointed that the nunumbersn obamacare are improving. i woululd point out two things. ,he groups that oppose it compromise and coopeperation are theipoison. they have e to be ableo demonize the other side. try to compromise, you anized t them and it makes it cover to raise money for ose groups. , paul ryan hasing en the poster boy for the conservative ideologues. this week, he became a majorr legislator. he made a choice. he will lose the purists, but he will get something done. >> mitch mcconnell may be voted against the deal but he first went after these groups in concrete ways, getting rid of -- saying, if you do business with them, we will not hire you in the republican party. them, we will not hire you in the republthis country was built by working people.

>> you really have to focus on what you want to accomplish, particularly in the first year. that first year after reelection is the time to get a lot done. inthat with john podesta november 2011 shortly after the president's reelection. center fort the american progress, head of the obama transition team. ing back to the white house alongside a former administrator to help policy matters. what does this tell you? and insulated white house is finally in the face bad news, recognizing they have to reach out to people with an

rock up a steep hill with the affordable care act. disapppproval number, 54%. highest number yet. 58% say the law has not had much of an impact on them or their families. >> this is not a matter of messssaging or pubublic inion. it i is a matter of what the law is and what is in the law.w. what americans have discovered is that the affordable care act, the intent and structure of it was to completely demolish the existing system of health insurance in america. for the 80%was, of americans who liked what they had, they would be left. thatat is a nice proposition. it turned out to be a lie. everything will change. you are going to get tens of millions of americans with employer-provided insurance who will lose it in the next

calendar year. if you thought there was an uproar when you had the 5 million who held private insurance who lost it, wait until that happens. the reason y had t cnge in the l instituted by regulation, lawlessly, in the middle of the week, is because the administration understands on january 1 there will be a train wreck when people who think they have health insurance show up at the doctors office and there is n no recocord of t. want the the people affordable care act repealed, accordg toto that same poll. 58% said they had not been affected. 70%, if youy that want to look at the numbers that way. paulng from the debate is ryan and john boehner and his discussion of the budget, any

himself somewhat, but those aree big ifs. >> usa today cannot with a poll that showed the president's approval ratings back to b befoe the aca rollout. approval ratings back to b befoe the aca rollout. >> popeard to say no to the op
