sometimes when john boehner has to go to those 80 or 100 democrats, sometimes that means john boehnerthe problems republicans have confronted in this new era of politics is when you have big -- if you're conservative, saying i'm going to stand up to john boehner, i don't think he's conservative enough, that forces john boehner to have to go back to democrats to pass legislation, that ends up undercutting the republican position. >> not only that and i have to get to this and i know -- hogan, i halfway promised myself i wouldn't do it but i have to. the guy that's going to be the whip, the guy that has to corral the votes, whip the vote for john boehner is still a guy named steve scalise who at once called himself david duke without the baggage. in the end, even though he's going to get the position doesn't this hurt the republican party brand every time he has to go forward and whip votes? he has to be a public persona. >> i think he can handle the brand damage over time. i think what will make republicans sit up and pay attention, and this does the same for democrats s money. if they

he voted against boehner because he thinks boehner will do something on immigration. i think boehner will do something on immigration -- >> he's the guy with the cantaloupe legs, right? >> yes. >> who are this other guy, representative yoho, what's his story? is he has good as his name? >> he used to do work with animals. he was a -- >> these are strange people in your party. you said this menagerie has been tamed that boehner doesn't care about these people. they were willing to dump him from the speakership. >> in many ways, what boehner has done is given them a free vote. he said there would be no retribution. when tip o'neil was speaker, if you voted against him, you were in big trouble. boehner said i'm not going to do it that way. >> you got a right-wing media that competes with you. catch this crowd. the right-wing championed the movement to dethrone boehner today. and made gohmert a hero for igniting the revolt. >> is it time for new leadership in the house of representatives? to put it bluntly, i think it's time for a new speaker. if i were to ask anybody in

it is john boehner 216 votes. apparently not a lot of drama. >> well, we'll still cover it even with the drama without it, whatever. thank you so much for joining us. >> the real story with gretchen carlson starts now. >> we start with the fox news alert for this hour. the police have suspects in custody in the shooting of the new york city police officers. we will give you all the breaking details. >>> the speaker of the house is as you just heard, john boehner. it was a nail-biter and new reaction from the white house on whether the president will actually veto the keystone pipeline bill. >>> plus, a big announcement in the world of baseball. who will make the hall of fame? i'm gretchen carlson, and "the real story" starts right now. >>> we've just been telling you over the last 30 seconds or so, john boehner in his third term as house speaker. he needed at least 206 votes, and he got over that. 116. speaker boehner faced not one, but three republican challenges today. texas louie gomert and ted wr oho and danie

boehner, i was fired. i could not e-mail mr. boehner directly because of the zip code block on his e-mail. the next day, he placed an unintelligible call to 911. >> yes. this is mike -- i messed up. >> reporter: when police went to his home hoyt said he had heard the devil's voice telling him john boehner was evil and he planned to shoot boehner with an automatic weapon. >> it's a sad situation. i think this individual needs a great deal of help. the speaker also needs to be protected. >> reporter: since 9/11 security at the capitol is stiff. this armored vehicle known as bearcat sits outside. but when most lawmakers are home they are on their own. a fact on deadly display four years ago when an assassin tried to kill then congresswoman gabbi

and john boehner. democrats who would like her to no longer be a house democratic leader minority leader. but they don't have the ability to effectively challenge her leadership. so why bother? >> there's not really going to be a serious challenge to nancy pelosi at all? >> no not at all. >> and there won't be a challenge to harry reid as the minority leader in the u.s. senate? >> once again there are senate democrats who would like to see new leadership and yet they don't have the votes and they don't have the power and people like harry reid and nancy pelosi got to where they are by wielding power effectively. >> even though the democrats in the senate suffered the democrats in the house suffered they will remain the leaders with no significant opposition at all? >> that's exactly right. i think one of the challenges for john boehner going forward, by the way, is the fact that the senate is now controlled by republicans. that actually means because the senate is the cooling saucer as they say, of

boehner of the state of ohio has received 216 votes. nancy pelosi of the state of california has received 164. and the honorable daniel webster of the state of florida has received 12. the honorable louis gohmert of the state of texas has received 3. ted yoho of the state of florida has received 2. the honorable jim jordan of the state of ohio has received 2. the honorable jim cooper of the state of tennessee has received 1. the honorable peter a. de fazio of the state of oregon has received 1. the honorable jeff duncan of the state of south carolina has received one. the honorable trey gowdy of the state of south carolina has received 1. the honorable john lewis of the state of georgia has received one. the honorable kevin mccarthy of the state of california has received one. the honorable rand paul of the commonwealth of ken has received one. the honorable jeff sessions of the state of alabama has received one. the honorable collin powell has received one. >> and that is the result folks. john boehner is in as expected. weave been wat

will that hurt or help boehner? that's the question going forward, especially with all these republicans who don't want to compromise. >> we have pictures of the senate and the pictures of the house of representatives getting ready for the start of this 114th congress. it's an important day. the republicans would not only be the majority in the house of representatives but they will be the majority in the u.s. senate as well. i want to bring in dana bash, our cheer congressional correspondent, and gloria borger, chief political analyst. dana, what's about to happen on the floor of the house of representatives? >> reporter: the new house will come in and get sworn in. and then probably about 40 minutes later, the drama will ensue that you and jake were just talking about, the vote for house speaker. i can give you a sense of the vibe here. there's a lot of suspense. there's always kind of that first day of school feeling on the first day of congress. there are about 71 new members of congress, which is pretty high, y

>> boehner: bad idea. >> pelley: dead? >> boehner: it's a bad idea. i've had every kind of rotten job you can imagine growing up and getting myself through school. and... and i wouldn't have had a chance at half those jobs if the federal government had kept imposing higher minimum wage. you take the bottom rungs off the economic ladder. >> pelley: finally, dead or alive, tripling the childcare tax credit for working families? >> boehner: we're all for helping working class families around america. i think we'll take a look at this when he sends his budget up, something that could be looked at in the overall context of simplifying our tax code and bringing rates down for everyone. >> mcconnell: i would just add trade. virtually every republican in the audience the other night stood up and applauded when the president talked about trade. >> pelley: speaking to folks at the white house the other day, they told us that one of the areas they thought there was a chance for progress is on infrastructure in this country-- roads and bridges. what do you think?

speaker boehner to either of you ladies you know. speaker boehner shaking hands. go ahead. >> well i want to tell you that from my vantage point, i can see the leadership the democratic and republican party are going on to the floor. i have kind of the reverse perspective of what you can see on the house floor. but you can see john boehner coming down. this is the image that you usually see during the state of the union with the leaders coming down after the -- before the president. and now he's coming down he is shaking hands with not just republicans but with democrats, the brand new 114th congress. and he is now the leader. and i think this is an important thing to keep in mind. you have leadership of both parties in both chambers. but the speaker of the house is the speaker of the entire house of representatives which is why you see it play out as it did. you don't see that in either chamber. and that's why this has been -- there's been so much formality. one member of congress came out and joked that back in the chamber of 1789. because they did everything by

boehner. this story is incredible. it's hard to believe, but it is true. let's go outfront. >>> good evening. we begin with breaking news. dramatic video of the paris attackers moments after the shooting inside the "charlie hebdo" office last week. both the shooters the kouachi brothers and the men filming can be heard on video. the gunmen seen here raising his fingers, shouts we have avenged the prophet muhammad three times. that part of the audio is difficult to hear clearly and confirm for you. we can tell you this then with remarkable calm the shooters reload their weapons as the man filming says to his friend he had nerve. it's pretty shocking to imagine someone sitting here and filming this as opposed to making calls. that's part of the incredible nature of this video. the two start to drive down a narrow road. they are confronted immediately by police car. the police appear to be heavily out gunned. we'll play that part. no one was shooting blanks. the police car quickly backs away. the

and if you look now, you can see john boehner's wife.16 votes, which was a majority because only 108 members voted. a big round of applause after that was announced. and we expect after a little bit more -- >> the gentleman from california. >> the gentlewoman from california, ms. pelosi. the gentleman from louisiana. the gentleman from maryland the gentlewoman from south carolina mr. clyburn. the gentleman from oregon from california. >> and wolf i paused to listen to what the will clerk was saying for a moment. they're going to go through some of the formalities to get the leadership into place and then relatively in relatively short order, we should see the speaker formally get the gavel retake the gavel, i should say. and give a speech. >> have you done the math, how many republicans voted against boehner? >> i don't know exactly how many voted against because -- i could say it's north of 20. 21 22, we're going to get you the math as soon as we can because what happened was there weren't just votes for his votes. somebody voted for co

boehner. we will see the numbers grow. we will go to a second conference. >> reporter: house democrats are are predicting boehner will prevail. once the speaker election is sorted the first order of business is keystone pipeline legislation. an early test to see how much the president is willing to work with congress. the president will hopefully be reaching out. he invited the leadership of congress to the white house next tuesday and i will be in the meeting to make the case for the keystone xl pipeline and getting the economy moving and people back to work. >> and fox news as confirmed the white house has invited the top 16 leaders of congress to the white house next tuesday for a meeting with president obama. it feels like the first day of school. >> lots of drama. even more than the bachelor lost night. and new video just in. you can see the new sign on senator mitch mcconnell's sign going up reading majority leader. and president obama is reportedly dying up his executive power setting up a potential showdown. they w

but first, john boehner keeps his job. there was a surprisingly strong challenge to john boehner. a one-day blip or an omen of things to come? >> as we say in pong, blip. john boehner had his challenges. people on twitter and other places have said they would like to see him go. this was not his problem. he has other problems, but this is meaningless. >> i agree. it is a problem that is not going to define his speakership or ruin him. it is as much of a problem as it was before, except before he had to rely on democratic votes. now that republicans have all of congress -- >> all that matters is the next two years. the next two years, when boehner needs help, paul ryan, jeb hensarling, other conservatives will back him up. the whole thing is not on the president, but boehner and mcconnell taking risks. the two dozen who voted against him today will not matter. >> the responsibility will be more his watch than it was before. >> he is speaker and he recognizes that. he is not an angry guy. he is not a guy who was going to be rattled by this thing. you could imagine somebody who was s

john boehner squash rebels? >> some on the right are concerned about the boehner strategy. we want to get to the same place of making our government work. >> we are not attacking john boehner and the conference that you say you are part of. >> new york city manhunt. police search for a fugitive after two officers are shot responding to a robbery, the commissioner praised his men. >> they performed courageously and the station house to respond to the robbery scene. >> inside selma. as some question the accuracy of the new movie's portrayal of lyndon johnson, we ask the men who almost died in the struggle almost 50 years ago. >> it's not a matter of making blunders are mistakes but the drama. to make it simple and real. >> congressional republicans now reign on capitol hill. the new reign begins with plenty of drama within both chambers. mitch mcconnell is ready to roll out a keystone strategy to push pipeline legislation on to the president's desk. there is a political hurdle to vote this hour. the heavy favorite to retain the speaker's gavel is trying to avoid the embarrass

poisoned boehner's wine. investigators say hoyt was treated for a psychotic episode two years ago when arrested last fall hoyt told them he was jesus christ and voices from his car radio told him boehner was the devil. boehner told the fbi he remembered hoyt but didn't recall any confrontations with him. his spokesman released this statement "speaker boehner is aware of this situation and sincere lie thanks the fbi, the capitol police and local authorities in ohio for their efforts." michael hoyt is now in federal custody undergoing psychiatric evaluation and facing up to 30 years in prison. t.j. reena. >> bazi kanani live in washington bazi thanks so much. >>> america is on heightened alert triggered by a new terror warning. the tsa beefing up security stepping up random searches of passengers and carry-on luggage coming after al qaeda posted a chilling step-by-step instruction guide for what it calls a hidden bomb. the instructions even include where to sit on the plane to inflict maximum damage. >> it is d

the speaker was mean to him and because he blamed boehner for the ebola virus. speaker boehner told investigators he knew hoyt as a bartender but doesn't know of any negative encounters. hoyt called police himself volunteering to be taken to a psychiatric hospital. >> they searched mr. hoyt's residence after his arrest. he had several weapons, including a handgun and that his mother had recently removed an assault rifle from his residence because she was increasingly concerned about how agitated he was becoming. >> reporter: police say hoyt denied planning to use the handgun on himself or boehner. susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington. >> hoyt is being held under a court order for a mental evaluation and treatment. speaker boehner spokesperson says the speaker sincerely thanks the f.b.i., capital police, and of course local authorities in ohio. >>> a florida teenager who was arrested on criminal mischief charges is now being hailed a hero thank. jamal rutledge was being booked into ft. lauderdale prison when an officer franklin folk collapsed to the ground. rutle

boehner. you'll see the numbers grow. >> conservative critics rick boehner who are accepting the bipartisan bicameral package congress passed before christmas. they wanted to fight more on immigration and funding obama care. once it was resolved boehner laid out his vision for the new congress. >> we'll begin our work on this common ground taking enough measures to restore the hours of middle class workers and help small businesses hire more of our veterans. >> you can expect much of the early focus to be on passing the keystone xl pipeline project which has been much studied. also some focus to be on repealing the last popular parts of obama care, testing to see how often president obama intends to use his veto pen. >> mike emanuel on capitol hill thang thank you so much. today's vote for speaker did disappoint me for a number of reasons. for starters, the elected representatives, they didn't listen to you the american people. according to a brand new poll only 25% of republican voters wanted

should boehner be shaking in his boehner britches? washington post," quote, he expects to be elected by the whole house this week. that's what most prognosticators are saying but it reveals interesting fault lines in. caucus. kelly o'donnell covering all of this. thank you so much. what will it take for this message from these conservative opposition leaders to get through the mainstreamers, or is that even possible? >> for the last few years, the sort of irritation factor that's been going on between the most conservative members and john boehner has been a running story we've been covering. this is another one of those moments where those who believe he has not done enough to answer their concerns are going to you know make their objections known. this is not a real surprise. these couple members characters in that story, frequent agitators of the speakers. what helps john boehner this time, he has an even larger republican majority in the new congress so he has some room to be re-elected. this is some way they can make some noise.

boehner. might be the subject of some drama tomorrow on the opening day of the new congress. it was the front page story from "the new york times." "republicans will have to fast to push agenda." "as john boehner seeks his third term as house leader, some disgruntled republicans say they will not back mr. boehner. a coup, while unlikely, would represent a disastrous beginning for the 114th and gas -- 114th congress. some activists say that congressional republicans are starting out too timidly." in terms of those who have stepped forward to challenge john boehner for the speaker's gavel, they include louie gohmert of texas and ted yoho of florida. there is a story from "the washington times" on them, quoting ted yoho i say "our vote for a new speaker is not a personal vote against representative boehner. it is a vote against the status quo. our vote is a signal to the mountain people that we've had enough of washington politics and that we will stand with the american people." on twitter chad

speaker boehner? guest: i have talked to some of the freshman class members. one or two are thinking of voting against speaker boehner. most of the people i have talked to will be for the speaker. i have not talked to the speaker or anybody in the speaker's office. i have talked to mr. gomer to briefly about his efforts. host: you have talked about your priorities on capitol hill. what committees are you looking to fill? guest: the judiciary committee and -- host: stemming from your experience as a district attorney? guest: i was a district attorney for 10 years. but the criminal area and many areas -- oversight on issues of immigration and electoral property. -- intellectual property. host: how does it prepare you for this new role? guest: the job of the prosecutor in addition to working on public safety issues is to work on prevention programs and intervention programs and work with the community and solve problems. this is about solving problems. we have a number of great issues facing our country

wow, speaker boehner a bartender from ohio is accused of plotting to kill the house speaker john boehneroisoning his wine or shooting him. according to court documents, he served the house speaker drinks for more than five years at a country club where speaker boehner is a member. police say the bartender called 911. listen. >> yes, this is mike -- i'm messed up. tell my father i'm okay. >> okay. >> and i'm sorry. >> and he's sorry. according to the indictment the bartender later told an officer he was, quote jesus christ and going to kill speaker boehner because he was mean to him at the country club. also speaker boehner is the devil and is responsible for ebola. he told the officer he did not have time to put something in john boehner's drink because the club fired him. federal agents say they believe he is still a current and on going credible threat to speaker boehner. somebody tried to murder the speaker. >> unbelievable. >> no jokes here. this is unreal. >> and that he went for five years serving -- >> i mean, you know the bartender. here's a letter -- it's an e-mail, what is it?

huelskamp of kansas --"i am not voting for boehner. honest. principal. conservative. leadership is what i want." the whip list of opposition to speaker boehner, the opposition is growing. tim huelskamp being counted in that with 6 possible no codes being watched and those who did not back boehner but could back him now. that still gets the opposition to just 23, according to the whip count. republicans would need 29 no votes for a second ballot. the speaker's race is one race happens today. there's the 2016 presidential race that is being watched and will be watched for the next two years. there are several members that are taking their oaths in the house and particularly in the senate today that are also being eyed as potential contenders for the 2016 presidential race. they included 4 republicans -- rand paul has been considered as a possible presidential contender, ted cruz of texas marco rubio florida, and the lindsey graham of south carolina, a name that is also floated for republicans, those being listed by larry sabado's crystal

boehner was mean to him at the country club and said boehner is responsible for the ebola virus and, asked him if he had a weapon, he said he had a beretta 83 handgun and found the gun and confiscated for safekeeping. >> to a aweuthorities said that he reached out to boehner's wife. is that true? do we know? >> well yes. it's pretty clear that he has at least tried. hoyt said a lot of things. he's imagined and believes john boehner is the devil and that he, meaning hoyt, is jesus christ. apparently after being questioned from some of the stuff, he had no intention of doing the speaker harm, often poured drinks for boehner. apparently actually wrote an e-mail to the wife of john boehner, debbie boehner and told her that if he wanted to, he could have done something but he didn't. >> appreciate the update. >>> more breaking news tonight. investigators successfully downloading data from the flight data recorder of airasia flight 8501. this comes as divers retrieve, as you know, the other black box, the cockpit voice recorder. both devices, key pieces of the investigation that could hel

speaker boehner needs an absolute majority in order to get re-elected. those looking to unseat him need about 30 votes in order to send the measure to a second ballot. and the last time that happened was back in 1923 with republican speaker frederick gillette winning re-election on the ninth ballot. chris tire is walt fox news digital politics editor and author of "fox news first" is my guest, the first one of 2015. great to sue. happy debated new year. let's talk about the math of what's going on here in the house. 28 to 30 votes they would need to dethrone boehner? >> well, and they ain't likely to get them either. as we page through how many -- or the very least, gonna be a very tough poll for gohmert and other conservatives behind this effort. as we page through the 30 or 60 even most conservative, most republican districts in the country, you look through there for possible votes against boehner and there probably just respect enough owing to people who are already in leadership, people who have already made their declarations. this is very hard to

i'm watching the vote and one of the first names is john boehner, john boehner, he didn't show up so he knew he didn't need the vote. however there was a group that said they wanted to push back, one of the congressmen got 13 votes, louie gomer got three votes, a senator even got a vote. it was interesting to watch. the message to john boehner is that there is a group that wants to be heard and they want to push back on some of the stuff. those 300 or so senate bills that have sat on harry reid's desk arelikely to come to a vote. >> we shouldn't buy this media created conflict between the right and the far right. because they only do that to take these spotlights off the left. so they always like whenever there was any kind of disagreement within the republicans, that's a huge deal. the conflict isn't about the right and the far right. it's between the persuasive and turn likely. the leadership that must compel not repel. so you're looking for not differences in degrees of ideology. but skills in seducing the public. so it's never been about whether or not louie gomer is more of a ri

boehner. a lot of people did. neil: if they united around a few candidates, you think the numbers would have been better. >> it might have been worse. real people would know they would maybe go over the cliff. they wouldn't have done it. say, if it did. say, even with the three candidates they had, none of those guys probably would become speaker because they couldn't get enough votes themselves to get the majority. neil: right. >> so that's what happened if you look back 18 years ago or how many years ago it was in 1998. newt stepped down. livingston had to step down. they passed over dick army and came back to me. a back bencher. neil: you were the pope francis of your day. you were the comprise guy. >> not just a compriser plucked a back bencher and said you will do it. neil: you did okay. i guess what i'm asking. what i think might help boehner, indications from the white house that the president would veto any keystone legislation that comes to him. still dead set against him. in a way that might have unified

to kill boehner because boehner was mean to him at the country club and boehner is responsible for ebola back in october he called 911 where he explained to police that he had been fired from the country club where he had been working for five-plus years. then he threatened to shoot john boehner who he blamed for his job loss with a baretta 380 automatic. it's worth noting the bosses at the country club say it was a bad attitude and not boehner that got him fired. before his arrest he even e-mailed mrs. boehner saying they needed to talk. but the note was rambling and she was confused. at that spokesman for barren says, quote, he is aware of this situation and sincerely thanks the f.b.i. and capitol police and local authorities in ohio for their efforts. the accused bartendser has a history of mental illness but from being around boehner for years, he knows a lot about what the speaker likes to do and where he likes to go, which is why authorities want him locked up. back to you in new york. >> probably a good idea. thank you very much. meanwhile, we have another fox news alert for you.

speaker boehner fights to keep his job. florida congressman running against mr. boehner.. >> i put my name in the hat. mr. goemer put his name in the hat. people vote for the status quo or vote for the american people that sent them here. again, we work for the american people. >> so chief congressional correspondent leading us off. how much concern is there about this conservative challenge of speaker boehner? >> most folks don't believe they believe the votes and many house republicans are looking forward to getting through this voting and process so they get to business. he was the choice of the house republican conference in november and they say he expects to be elected again today. they also note these conservative challenges had the opportunity to run against boehner in november and did not and no one nominated them. they claim it is time for new leadership. it is certainly generating buzz for them and conservative circles. if anything, this challenge may just end up embarrassing boehner to a certain degree. after that gets sorted out and it may come today it may n
