boeh ner, tip o'neil, o'neil was leading the democrats. boeh ner does not lead.where you are coming from. from the president's perspective, he'd much rather deal with john boehner or conservatives for that reason. they fell they can have a discussion even though everything blew up when they were trying to come to this grand bargain. he is never going to act knowledge what his future plans r. part of it is if he would have wanted to get some big deal done on immigration reform, he could have done it a long time ray go. this is sort of the other part of that. right? he can get through something the democrats would put on the floor. that's something we have been waiting for. it's sort of the suicide option. he put it on the floor. you. >>et the big achievement. you are thrown out by your party? >> or your popularity ratings go up. it was an amazing moment in one of john boehner's press conferences, he announced he was pulling this plan with cantor that was supposed to allow them to defund the obamacare to continue and the government would not shut down and the tea p

o'neill said i'll pass the bill with you, 100% is too high.new how to cut dealins afr the fight. >> how did this president do in creating the kind of atmospheric? >> i don't think he was as good as reagan was as nurturing relations. i remember going to the jim dinner, which most of the guys were having steak dinner and apple pie, and baked potato and a beer. and just to be a dissenter, no press, it was a big deal. and in walked reagan with george bush. and george bush, as vp, had been a member of the house and knew how it worked. you got to connect with these guys. and i knew there was something that would help him get elected, every democrat took their picture. >> most of the democrats don't want their picture, that would hurt them. >> reagan being from notre dame, he had a lot of democrats who liked him. and i think this president doesn't have a lot of republicans that like him. this makes it a tougher time, by the way, it is politics, not civics, guys and women who believe in what they do. tip was the classic liberal who served, got elected

so ronald reagan had tip o'neil. when ronald reagan had confrontation with the congress and the other party about maybe shutting down the government, it was ronald reagan versus tip o'neil. when bill clinton had his confrontations with the congress and with the other party about maybe shutting down the government and, in fact, shutting down the government, he had his adversary as well, and that, of course, was newt gingrich. so it was ronald reagan versus tip o'neil, it was bill clinton versus newt gingrich, and now it is barack obama versus -- who, exactly? who is president obama negotiating with? who is this showdown in washington with? and, yes, john boehner has the same job title that tip o'neil and newt gingrich had, but nobody, nobody believes that john boehner is doing the same job that those guys did. in that nobody believes that john boehner speaks for anyone. when john boehner says republicans should do something, or that republicans are doing something, nobody believes republicans will actually do that thi

there were 12 shutdowns under tip o'neill. right for democrats to get involved in shutdowns, it was part of how they the negotiating process, part of how they dealt with carter and reagan and part of the legislative process of the united states. it wasn't a gigantic crisis. it's not a gigantic crisis right now. there's a fundamental difference. the president believes he can run a bluff and play golf and do nothing but attack republicans. once the government closes, the president's going to discover that he's the head of the government. he has a real obligation to negotiate. >> which is a fair point. he's not negotiating. you heard dan pfeiffer say he's not making any concessions whatsoever. >> why should he? you're talking about a -- about a two-month. >> 800,000 federal employees are about to lose their paychecks. >> the congress can pass that right now by passing a clean resolution. it's not a discontinuing resolution for obama care. they interjected this. the president is -- why for a two-month, think what they're asking fo

o'neil, i found it on a piece of milkweed. >> he's probably eating the milkweed bugs. >> but the main focus is on the vegetables and plants. >> can i smell it again? >> sure. >> [ sniffs ] i don't know. that smells just like basil, although it's purple. >> whether it's purple or more commonly green, basil is the main ingredient in the next stage of this project -- taking what they grow in the garden and using it in a recipe. >> we're making bruschetta today, and we're just getting basil and everything we need to make it. >> so with fresh basil in hand, it's back to the classroom. >> okay, we have different types of tomatoes here -- roman tomatoes and beefsteak. and we have garlic that we grew, as well. >> but this is not a home-ec lesson. >> there certainly is gardening and cooking involved, but there's also the science and math -- teaching the kids how to quadruple, triple, double recipes. cut it in half. remove the seeds. using fractions in measuring, that's where we incorporated the mathematics. >> a fun way to learn math. >> we're gonna take a minute to use our senses in order to

laker shaquille o'neil will become part owner of the kings. you see him sitting next to the owner there. no word on what percentage he will own, but o'neil jones the team espn dubbed the worse franchise in all four of america's major sports. he told "usa today" "the worst is at the bottom, which means you can't get no worser, and there's no such thing as worser, which means we can only get better." shaq arrived early in sacramento for the announcement, and apparently he spent some time with the governor's wife late last night. look at this. california's first lady ann brown posted this photo on twitter of shaq. i guess that is sort of a post-dinner workout. >>> well, speaking of the nba, the league is experimenting with new jersey. some members of the miami heat have reportedly been told the league is talking about having them where knicks name jerseys. that is instead of seeing james on the back of lebron's jersey, you would see king james. only miami heat and brooklyn nets will take part in that test run. >>> check this out. a peninsula team

. >> there was an old tip tip o'neill used to do.e would shout out to make the other guy feel good. here you have boehner trashing the president when he's planning to align with him by the end. but he has to cover it. my bigger question to you is the republican party at the grassroots level, we talked about that poll. i'm not sure the conservative republicans are off base with the party. they really don't like obama care, doesn't like obama period. and to trash the economy a bit in order to scorch this guy at least in a polling sense appeals to the republican people, voters out there. look at the results of that poll. >> i don't think there's any doubt about that, chris. i've attended a couple of interesting meetings over the last couple weeks of the grassroots, the conservative heart of the party. and one was in new york where they were sort of listening to up and coming young republican politicians. and another one was a rally of rand paul's group called young americans for leadership. kids basically. and yes, there is -- the defau

o'neil is saying, there is really not much of a choice. but and i agrees that we should pay attention to everything that is possible to save. but i would, you know, i would second the motion to move this project ahead as quickly as possible. with such a you know, an owner like this who is willing to go to the extent to do exactly what you are asking. >> thank you. >> commissioner wolfram? >> commissioner? do you have a comment first? >> yes, tim, the department staff and i just wanted to point out to the commissioners that there are conditions of approval that we think will help alleviate some of the concern and that those were conditions that were recommended by page and trum bell to make sure that we document everything before the work progresses. so that we can pay attention to the details. >> i don't so a condition here relative to the relative of the design of the storefront window and they mentioned that there is a different proposal now and so maybe one condition that we can add is that the project sponsor could work with the staff

national news, a fight where o'neill had his words taken down. newt gingrich's game. it was an outside game. exploiting television to appeal directly to the grassroots, to convince conservatives across america that he was the only republican in washington who was really going to fight for them. this is how he made his name, not by passing laws, not by chairing a committee, not by working with his colleagues. there were plenty of republicans in washington who didn't like him. but they weren't about to say it. not when it would mark them as exactly the kind of sellout newt gingrich was fighting against on cable television. and it is the same outside game that ted cruz is playing now. using stunts like this week's to make himself a hero to the base, to make himself the kind of hero that any republican looking to get ahead in the world will think twice before attacking. question is, is the joke on all of us? we'll talk about that after this. bold has a huge imagination. a playground of innovation, color, and design. showing up where we least expect i

salinger lost the love of his life to charlie chaplain, oona o'neill who herself was an extra woman. a woman who between 16 and 18 dated peter arno, orson weld, j.d. salinger and then married charlie chaplain. he was 54 and she was 18 and interestingly salinger's life was completely marked by that. oona imprinted salinger so much so that all of his, and i think it's the right word his fascination maybe even his obsession with young women was squarely rooted in losing oona to chaplain. so much so that by the time he gets to joyce maynard she is 54 and he was 18. he was in the charlie chaplain role. >> rose: women are central to this film and i want to talk about that. put it aside for a second. before he went to war, who was he. >> he was a kid who grew up at 1133 park avenue. he was a privileged son. he was someone who didn't need to go to world war ii. he was initially rejected and he fought very hard to be able to go and fight. he had a romantic view of war. he thought he needed it to become a better writer. he thought it was going to be like a jack london story about adventure. he

she asked what would tip o'neill think of the tea party? he's enjoy them to a point.called the crowd three stooges for awhile. then talking about patriotism, he got hot about that. and the funny part was over. and this comes from donna of oklahoma city. quote, chris simple yet complicated question. how do the republicans keep getting away with this nonsense? over the top really. it comes down to the numbers. 435 congressional districts, a big majority of them people voted against obama last time. and the members of congress from those districts are very comfortable voting against obama care and the whole works. they're comfortable at home. the problem is they're not thinking nationally. and that is definitely boehner's job. he's got to do it if they don't. the next question from john of louisville, kentucky. chris, why did jimmy carter lose the election in 1980? i think it was iran. i think it was the hostages. i think iran has played a huge part in politics ever since. and if you have a question for me, any other question, just tweet your questions to @hardball under

and tip o'neill.end to think gerrymandering is the heart of the problem. but what about the people? is john boehner a huge part of the problem? because boehner is not an analog to tip o'neill as obama is analog to ronald reagan. he's letting this tea party caucus as we've all discussed here really run things. is the weakness of boehner as a speaker a huge part of the problem? >>. >> reporter: well, it's interesting, boehner's strategy has been to let the hot air out. he let's these guys scream and yell and beat their chest and takes them to the brink every single time. at the end of the day he's able to make the concession and say, look, i'm dealing with these folks in the house and they are not going to break on anything. you have to give me something or else we're in real trouble. in 2010 he said i got 90% of what i wanted. this is the leadership strategy and he doesn't care. if someone writes about him being the weakest in history, he laughs and says i'm trying to do the best job i can. i don't see

tip o'neil was the speaker of the house then. under the constitution the house is the final judge of its members, and finally the house said, to heck with it, we're seating our guy. at that point republicans were in the minority for 30 years. they were pretty docile. they were sort of living off the crumbs that the democratic majority threw them. what sort of reseating frank mcklofsky, it so enraged house republicans, and even 134 some of the most mild mannered most moderate members -- nancy johnson from connecticut, for example, one of the more liberal republicans in the house, was incensed and started supporting newt gingrich and his rise to sort of take over the republican apparatus. and bob michael who had been leader for a good while and was sort of a get along, go along kind of guy. to me indiana 8 started the revolution in the house. the take-over of newt, going after jim wright. if you are going to say when did the spiral in the house start, where i would put the general siss is indiana 8. then things became so partisan a
