john wayner bane speaker john boehner and former gop leader paul ryan voted yes but house majority leader eric cantor who led a brief last-minute charge against the deal and kevin mccarthy voted no. earlier i had a chance to visit to politico's congressional reporter. we talked about how the bill got through the house and the political ramifications of sealing the deal. hughes republicans were earlier considering a deal with more spending cuts. it was different than what the senate had passed. what ended up happening? why did republicans change their minds? >> basically they knew if they tried to make any changes that the senate had already sent over to them, it would greatly prevent them getting it done before congress was sworn in at noon. harry reid, the senate majority leerksd said it's going to be very, very tough. a lot of them were tired. the senators were already home and they were waiting for the house to just sign off on it. so any changes, especially major changes, would have, could have really, really scuttled this thing from passing and getting to president obama's desk very quickly. >> is there any real winner in this scenario? can both sides walk away saying that they got something out of this deal? >> i think both sides could say they got something out of the deal, but think you see a lot more discontent among the republican ranks. you saw with the vote last night in the house, it was really the democrats who had to push it across the line. the republicans are not happy that there has to be tax increases on a small percentage of americans. they're not happy with nearly $4 trillion over a decade racking up the nation's debt. and several of the democrats are not happy about the deal either. but it's mostly the democrats and president obama that can claim victory here. you know, this is president obama who campaigned on this. this was his message as he was campaigning for his second term in office, and he was -- and this is the first major tax increase in about two decades. >>> "cbs moneywatch" time on a wednesday. the world markets are reacting this morning to the fiscal cliff deal. and how will the agreement affect your paycheck?

john: that's rand paul getting his in for 2016. i'm thrilled to be joined by tj crowley. thank you so much for joining us this evening. >> a through, john. >> john: i want to get your take on this. did these hearings seem to be more about what happened in four years than what happened in benghazi last fall? >> it's a mix. certainly as your clip showed, some senators and some representatives who just haven't got past september 15th. by the same token there were some from both parties who took the same forward-looking perspective that secretary clinton has and say what does benghazi tell us about the dynamic of the region and the danger of al-qaeda. how do you connect what happened to libya to what is happening in mali and recently in algeria? i think that's the kind of perspective that we need as we continue to sort through what happened. while she testified today, there is still many things that we don't know. particularly who did it and why they did it. that's still subject of the fbi investigation. >> john: as we just heard senator paul called secretary clinton's actions inexcusable and said she did not read her cables. >> any requests, any of

john boehner, tomorrow, may not win on the first ballot in his caucus -- in his conference. to be the speaker. i don't really know what that means. you have paul ryan and john boehner voting for it and eric cantor voting against it. clearly, there is a split. but john boehner, let's face it, is kind of from the old school of politicians and a leader who wants to negotiate. the problem is he can't really hold his conference together. he's not a great leader of his conference. >> neah malika, let's pick that up. right wing media saying boehner could be pushed out tomorrow. the headline says sources say there are enough republicans willing to unseat speaker boehner. and then there's been, like, a right wing freak out. they're like out in full force on twitter today. fox news commentator todd starnes said about boehner. quote, this is what happens when your political party is led by an emotionally compromised reaper. right wing radio host brya bryan fischer tweeted boehner has absolutely no concept to the damage he's doing to the heart and soul of the republican party. matt drudge wrote republicans raising taxes on 77% of households surrenders guns next. a lot of venom out there on the right. >> there is a lot of venom. boehner is seeing he rode in on

john kerry is pretty much the same way. >> paul: right. >> different from hillary clinton who has at times been much more hawkish. >> paul: the white house would say, johnnnan led the counterterror effort inside the white house that's gone effectively after osama bin laden and awlaki and terrorists around the world and don't keep the isolationist business on us, that's not fair. >> i think in the case of brennan that's not a controversial pick. you can have your quibbles with a number of things that brennan has done in his career, alleged to have done, but i think as cia picks go, he's a fairly solid pick. the real issue with chuck hagel. it's not entirely true that hagel always has a contrarian profile. there's a great deal of political opportunism and 1997, the bird hagel amendment, adamantly opposing the-- >> the global warming. >> exactly. >> paul: agreement. >> in 1998, it was one of the republicans pushing bill clinton to deploy ground troo troops. but it's true in the last eight or nine years he's developed a dovish persona. not just to the left of the republican party, but putting him to the left of president obama's own stated positions when it

i want to talk about you were familiar with the john pope cultural center, you came through that -- >> actually, i studied at the john paulinstitute for studies on marriage and family, two different things. >> let's talk about life. obviously, this is the march for life. the death penalty. something that we, as a country, in the top five death penalty countries in 2011, we're in the company of china, iran, saudi arabia, iraq, and then there we are, the united states. the culture of life, why isn't there more attention paid on the issue of the death penalty, which stats have shown disproportionately affects minorities. if a minority kills a white person, they're more likely to go on death row than the opposite. it's not -- it's costly, as we all know, and it's not a deterrent. and oftentimes in our country, innocent people have been put to death. why is there not more of a focus on that in the march for life as well? >> well, let me say that actually we are 100% pro-life, and in most cases, we wouldn't be pro death penalty, but the reason why the emphasis is placed on abortion is because it's the human rights abuse of toda

john, i want to talk to you. was there unnecessary roughness by rand paul or john mccain? rand paul specifically talking about the fact the consulate should have been guarded as if it were a declared war zone. >> first of all, the democrats treated this almost like a testimonial dinner. it reminded me more of 10-year-old soccer where everybody gets a trophy, besides performance on the field. i think, though, senator paul missed an opportunity to use to ask tough questions, and instead, used it as a political ad. the only adult, i thought, in the room was johnccain, who did ask tough questions, and the only response from hillary clinton was let's agree that we disagree. >> is this, nia malika, the first step, the 2:00 p.m. testimony is coming up, but the first step is the clearing and vindication of the secretary, who hasn't been able to testify because of health reasons until now. >> yeah, we'll have to see what happens at 2:00 p.m. in this second hearing, but i think, you know, to her credit, i think she in some ways was able to remain above the fray. she had some tough questions by people who might be her rivals in 2016, rand paul, rubio, and people like that. but she was steady, she was forceful, and at times very emotional. it's something, obviously, landed very heavily in terms of her job and her psyche and emotional sort of stability there in terms of her job as secretary of state. it's a long time before 2016 happens. also, we'll have to see what comes out of these next hearings. >> doesn't mean there's not a poll showing how hillar

[ dog barks ] because right after they get married they'll find some retirement people who are paid on salary not commission. they'll get straightforward guidance and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. >> john: remember when republicans held the american public hostage? our republican friends are holding our economy hostage once again. a new idea may provide a way for the president to pull the country away from the debt ceiling without giving into republicans. all he needs is treasury secretary tim geithner and a trillion dollar coin. the plan revolves around a loophole in which the coinage act which allows the treasury secretary to issue a platinum coin at any denomination he want so geithner could order a $1 trillion coin mint and use the coin to buy back debt from the fed, pulling us away from the debt ceiling and avoiding another showdown with republicans. this isn't some pie in the sky plan devised by economic wonks or sci-fi fans, it actually has supporters in congress. specifically new york democratic congressman jerry nadler who has proposed bringing the idea to the floor to use as a bargaining chip saying it sounds silly but it is legal and it would normally not be proper to consid

john: she has more bangs than the 70s combined. >> stop talking about the hair. >> john: all right, a lot of people wanted to be at today's inauguration. but paul ryan went because he said it was his obligation. then he was booed when he walked in. was that expected or because people want medicare. >> i wonder why he thought that wasn't going to happen. you did nothing but slander the president for a good year. nothing but ram him with all types of nonsense. you want to show up at the inauguration like everything is cool. we were just playing. no, we're not playing sir. >> i'm not surprised. he's one of those guys who is not going away easily. he's along schwarzenegger. he'll come out with a bad idea every three years. >> johny wasn't there. the bushes weren't there. do we give paul ryan credit for going out and applauding the president? >> no, you lost, go somewhere out in the country on the beach with your family and enjoy it and act like it didn't happen. >> john: paul ryan did support the tax increase for millionaires for the tea party. he's dead to them now. we'll see how he survives it. some folks in the crowd were not interested in richard blonkos poem. this is the face of eric cantor when he began to say hello in different languages and when hes is manaste he looked like he just sat on a pin. >> poems stink. blame death poetry jam for this. the president is ours forever and we look on the scene of the sea. it's just reading a poem, and everybody is, i don't like this at all. >> john: it was a beautiful poem. >> the blame was eric cantor. what do you consider he would find fun. orphans being told the truth about santa would an good time for him. in virginia, it wasn't considered entertainment unless

paul wagner has the story. >> reporter: in his opening start to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused -- statement to the judge the state prosecutor said john leopold abused and misused the public trust saying leopold is accountable for his conduct, misgrievous use of county employees for his own personal gain, but the defense attorney had a different take telling the judge dennis sweeney four of the five charges against his client do not violate the law under the state's criminal statutes and told the judge the charges defied logic because leopold's behavior was the worst kept secret in the world. as testimony got underway, the state's first witness was patricia medlin, john leopold's scheduler. well over an hour medlin repeatedly said she was nervous as the defense objected dozens of times to the questions she was asked. when medlin was allowed to answer, she told the court she was afraid to say no to john leopold. she was an at will employee and knew saying no to the man would be viewed as being disloyal. so medlin said she erected campaign signs for the county executive and emptied his catheter bag numerous times after leopold had bag s

john: thank you for this in-depth -- do you think that we saw rand paul begin his candidacy for president and hillary win this week? [ laughter ] >> that's a good one! >> that's good. >> john: it is really interesting because after the dust settled from the hearings with secretary clinton on the benghazi attacks, i was left with two thoughts. first, the only way the g.o.p. could further exploit the libya deaths for political gain would be to physically shoot benghazi t-shirts out of a nascar gun and second, this is our most terrifying look yet at a public health issue affecting washington, d.c. republican airborne amnesia. see, way back in the foggy mist of 2001, the g.o.p. told us it was treason to ever criticize a president following a terrorist attack. so how is it possible that in 2012, the democratic president should be impeached for not acting quickly enough when our overseas consulate was attacked while in 2001, a g.o.p. p.o.t.u.s. who sits numbly in a nursery school classroom as a nation is under attack is somehow more manly than johnbasing androgel? the brain that accepts this has the attention span like the guy from memento. if you're not convinced the party of reagan has trouble recalling things, remember in the '90s when hillary clinton was demonized for eight years but then once she became a senator and secretary of state they couldn't stop celebrating how awesome she was. they've loved her for 12 years. rupert murdoch himself hosted a fund-raiser for her before her presidential campaign. well today my friends, it is like the right wing media that loved her for the past 12 years stepped into a time machine. today's "new york post" is more 1990s than a gin blossom

john mccain there. over the years john mccain has been very very quick to praise hillary clinton both publicly and privately and called her a friend and respectable. he was quite frank to her face. rand paul eyeing presidential run of his own. her spat with ron johnson of wisconsin was far and away was the hottest. it's going to play over and over to the only the facts but the style as well as the substance. marco rubleio, too. they were all pretty tough on her. >> bill: let me ask you guys. this is a quiz question, all right? because these guys are savvy reporter rosen alluded to it. what was the major mistake that both the congress people and senators made in interrogating the secretary? >> hand down, bill, this is decades old, probably century's old problem with congressional hearings. members of the congress, house and senate, used their question time to make speeches. >> bill: okay. >> rather than breaking new ground. >> bill: that was a mistake. i don't think it was the biggest. rosen do you have an opinion on what was the biggest mistake? >> they didn't do their homework. >> bill: i'm not sure about their homework. here is the biggest mistake. come back to me, please. here is the biggest mistake. first you have to lay down a narrative. what happened? tell us what happened. the american people have never been told what happened. why the ambassador was in benghazi on 9/11 in a very dangerous spot on a very dangerous day. what happened, secretary clinton, tell us now that we're months -- i'm sure you have investigated every bit of this. what happened and who screwed up? who didn't give you the cables? i would like a name. who did it? so, therefore, then you start with the narrative that hillary clinton provides because the president will not. we never got the narrative as you both rightly pointed out. they are hitting susan rice, the u.n. ambassador. that's old news. they are hitting this. well, what the duce happened? that's what we need to know. >> here is one question along those lines that should have been asked and i didn't hear it asked in several hours of testimony. was autopsy performed on ambassador stevens? >> bill: that's right. >> what was the finding as to his cause of death? let me raise one question that secretary clinton stated under oath which potentially could cause problems for her down the line. and she said to the senate this morning, i certainly did not know of any reports that contradicted the intelligence community's talking points at the time that ambassador rice went on the tv shows. in short, what she is saying there is i had no evidence whatsoever as of september 16th that this was a terrorist attack. our own chad pergram back in october broke a huge story. you can find tonight internet. there were internal state department emails flying around to 300 people on the national security council, the situation room, and elsewhere showing that within hours of this attack our government had evidence al sharia was taking credit for the attack. she knew that they had claimed credit for it and that contradicts what she said under oath today. >> bill: cammeron, wrap it up for us. >> the republican members on the panel didn't challenge her on the assertion that the problem was lack of funds for the embassy security. when there are -- it is at least debatable if not demonstrably false that fnszing of the facility was not the problem that led to the security breakdown. let's face it your 2016 rhetoric is stone cold dawn on this. it's not coincidence all the buzz with joe biden having met with folks at new hampshire concealed over the weekend and released the day that hillary clinton is testifying the before congress. >> bill: already competing. what are the odds of that? >> zero to 100. >> bill: by the way, rosen is the author of the book "the strong man," johnthe secrets of watergate. >> bill: colonel peters react to hillary clinton's testimony. sending jirt jets to egypt is that smart in the inauguration and the >> bill: in the impact segment tonight. lots to talk about in the security area. 38 oil workers dead in algeria, including three americans after al qaeda terror attack the othe obama administration announcing it will send four high tech fighter jets to egypt even though that country is in militant hands and of course hillary clinton's testimony about libya. here to run it all down for us colonel ralph peters joins us from washington. what's the headline of the hillary clinton testimony today for you. >> hillary mops floor with congressman and senators. she was as james rosen pointed out. she was prepared. she had it down. she had answers anticipatory answers ready. the congressman and senators didn't do their homework. they made speeches again as james rosen pointed out. their questions were ill focused. they went down the red herr

john maynor/paul ryan vote for it and then the erick cantor no. >> a lot of people will be reading into that. >> for the future of leadership, causing mischief, they speculated that john bayno wanted to put this boat off until after the new congress. on thursday, he simply played it safe. they knew this was going to be a very tough thing for him to put on the floor. the fact that he has done that and voted in support of it and now has eric cantor, his number two, the top deputy as the majority leader in the house of representatives voting against it, that is a fairly extraordinary development. paul ryan very influential, people have been watching him to see how he was going to be voting on this. he voted in support of it. i want to reemphasize something, extraordinary, democrats, 172 against their leadership and behind president as well. >> we continue to watch. the vote coming out, the bill has passed out of the house. we go to capitol hill to get response. table. the unfinished business is the question on suspending the rules and passing senate 2318 which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: senate 2318, an to act rise the secretary of state to pay an award to combat >>> we have a deal. 15 minutes ago the gavel came down in the house passing concurring with the senate bill that was passed at 2:00 a.m. . 24 hours into the new year, and we go to the president. reaction coming out, look russert is getting some response now on that development. >> i actually just ran into them. the speaker's office says, speaker banner felt that this was a very important vote and the best deal that the republicans could get. he very much wanted to solidify the tax issue, get it in place permanently. that is why he voted yes. but as we were talking about before, you don't see these divisions within the house gop leadership. they are pretty much all together. sometimes you saw when nancy pelosi was speaker, she would vote against a war funding bill and the division we have seen them historic plea. a lot of people were looking at paul ryan, marco rubio voted no. grand paul voted no. paul ryan, a yes. what message does that send? that gave cover for republicans to come on board. john boehner, he got a lot of criticism today. he did not have to vote, but stood up and voted. he showed his conference what he thought. it was pseudo courageous. >> even though he did not have to vote, as you have underlined for us so far. we have some response there from a representative from speaker boehner's office. on your side, what do we expect the president to say when he comes to the microphone and about three minutes? >> i think he will laud the bipartisan nature and look ahead to what we have been talking about over the last half hour, what is coming in two-month's time. let's take a look at what has happened since the election. i believe it was the day after the election, richard, when john boehner appeared in the capital and conceded that revenues were going to be raised. he wanted to close loopholes, and some deductions, but did not want to raise rates. he knew what was coming. the president had campaigned on that $250,000 threshold, over which people would have their taxes

john boehner or nancy pelosi. so far we have heard just one hoose republican. from michigan voting for another republican, not for john boehner, he voted for congressman paul lever door of indiana. there are 233 republicans, 200 democrats, two vacancies, so boehner can afford to only lose 17 republican votes. there were a lot more than 17 republicans mad at him about his handling of the fiscal cliff negotiations. raising taxes on millionaires. there is no official challenge to boehner. we expect him to win the speakership yet again, but the floor of the house is an interesting dynamic, organic place keeping an eye on the vote to watch it to its conclusion to see if johnker, which we expect he will be. cheryl: eric cantor did vote for john boehner, so it is a voice vote instead of the computer tally we all see on our screens with the tiny numbers you have to read but at least it looks john boehner will indeed retain his title as speaker of the house. nancy pelosi has to be re-upped as well. thank you very much. >> thanks. cheryl: right now of course stocks every 15 minutes, nicole, what do you have? >> looking at a biotech in particular. the stock is down 1.3% sitting at a level of about $148, but their drug actually failed. lou gehrig's disease. not good news, the stock had been down significantly from where it is right now coming off of the lowest foot they spend so much on research and devellpment to have a failure here such as this one is not good news for this particular company today down over $2. also take a look at the major market averages. yesterday moving to new highs, the nasdaq and s& the s&p tackig onto yesterdays games, transports have

paul in the public arena. >> host: john, you are next. michigan, independent collar. >> caller: hello. >> host: heidt john you are on the air. >> caller: obviously we have a stalemate between republicans and democrats. boehner's biggest job right now would be to further new deals and i can think of the word. to make deals happen, stop the stalemate and the line in the sand. i'm really sick of hearing about social security as an entitlement. we paid for that. i have easily agreed that welfare is an entitlement. 90% of what the feds spend wouldn't be spent if we follow the constitution and did for the majority to people most of the time and not just corporate benefit. we would be better off. i think boehner's biggest job is to broker deals to make them happen. >> guest: it's it is pretty hard to broker deals. john boehner when in front of his conference and he was trying to get some conservative support and john boehner spent the last couple of years trying to craft a grand bargain on the debt with president obama. he went before house republicans said i have not been able to make a deal with the president so from now on the 113th congress as they

paul taking my calls. >> john: i'm half southern, half brooklyn. i got every accent in creation. i live with a woman from northern california. >> oh, my god! >> john-- >> i got some french pronunciation. >> john: you did because you're such an american hater. steph is home sick. do my eyes deceive me. is kenny pick of cleveland on the phone right now? >> hey kenny pick. >> i will offer you some fine northeastern ohio accent styling. which is not much. yeah, good morning, everybody. that whole limbaugh shtick about the pms amazon that he's always talking about, he's been doing that and believe it or not, rush limbaugh did stand-up way back in the day. there's videos out there from the late '80s, early '90s. he knows exactly who the audience he's playing to. i think what everybody should do is join with me in course as he called sandra fluke a slut, we should call limbaugh the hut. so that way with it. >> who brought this solo? >> john: i'm still so astounded did he that. in this century, member are still using the word slut on women as a pejorative. just because she spoke about contraception being a legitimate women's healthcare issue. if you belie

john paul's epistle church this morning, as the president attended services at st. john's. house will be in order. members take their seats, get off the well. members, clear the well, take their seats. the chair lays before the house a communication from the speaker. the clerk: the speaker's room, washington, d.c., january 21, 2013. i hereby appoint the honorable johner of the house of representatives. the speaker pro tempore: the prayer will be offered by our chaplain, father conroy. chaplain conroy: lord of the universe, we give you thanks for giving us another day. you are the father of us all, divine providence has led this nation in the past and guides all human affairs to this very day. as a nation, we are in need of wisdom to make right decisions, perseverance to build upon the hopes of your people and patience because at times bear an urgency. so today the american people join congress as we call upon your holy name. we pray for vice president joseph biden and for your servant, barack obama, our re-elected 44th president of these united states. may your holy spirit descend upon him that he may see things as you see things. may he be strengthened in his work and grow in understanding as he proves ever attentive to the people. may we respond to the nation's deepest needs and lift up all of us to higher standards of equal justice, true goodnes
