we understand that, but as we have in the past, almost every time, whether it was speaker boehner or speaker ryan, it was this side of the aisle that ept the government open. it was this side of the aisle that made sure we didn't efault on our debts. so, mr. leader, i want to be constructive. i don't want to argue further on this. it is to say, however, to all of us -- i talked to some of your members privately. they're shaking their heads. why are we in this position? we ought not to be in this position. and every one of us that sits in this body, every one of us ought to be saying to ourselves, we need to act constructively. this is -- confrontation is not constructive. the failure to reach agreement. schip. we passed we agreed on the authorizing side. unfortunately we couldn't agree on the funding side because you wanted to cut things we ought not to be cut. clearly we would have gotten to an agreement. in fact, you passed a bill on ipab, $17.6 billion unpaid for that would have paid for all of that. all of that. so mr. leader, i will yield to if you want but i just plead with eve

john boehner is still thinking about it all right once again john i you join in. do you know what comes next. john john a repeat after me everyone with. my . books and find the page then we can start. a special exercise for me. color in a. i o's and use a k. . yet here you have to add an a and then have a the whole thing over and here. i think i'm done. now raise your hand what does raise mean you put your hand up and she comes over. vanished good for very good it's rice has anybody on the short i don't know how much he's been towards a lot of things are unfamiliar to him like raising your hand or settling down when the sun is made to be quiet. or things you start learning in first grade it's a challenge for me to integrate him and continue to maintain the good dynamic we have in the clones. maybe. thanks but. yeah right one second janet yes now you have the chance when i say go get your breakfast. leno will choose a helper and together they'll pass out the cake and point. it . and that to. everything in the school. what. why not. have everything so modish. jenna

in fact, when speaker boehner was speaker, this all came up during the bush years and the rest, he wasn't speaker then, but he referenced it as speaker, said trickle-down economics is the policy they were advocating and if it creates jobs that would be ood. if it doesn't, so be it. hat's the free market. the free market? these guys had their hand in uncle sam's pocket every step of the way. but it's the free market when it comes to anything else. the american people saw right through this brazen con job republicans tried to sell them. even the simplicity. they were going to reduce the brackets. they did not. there were seven, they said four. t's seven. hey said you would return your taxes on the postcard. maybe the size of this postcard, don't know. american people saw this republican tax scam was not working for americans. a foundation has been laid on his message. the g.o.p. tax scam is about leaving the middle class dry to pad the pockets of corporate america and the wealthiest %. i'm pointing to the sign. senator schumer: i am certainly not in that category. ms. pelosi: insulting crum

after mccarthy, who seemed like a natural successor to boehner, paul ryan stepped in.was the vice presidential nominee in 2012, but this has not necessarily been a mantel that it's always seemed he has worn comfortably. a quote that our producers are pointing out at the bottom of the story, he's quoted as telling friends, i didn't know slitting throats was part of my job. of course, he had a conference with franks who resigned after being accused of misconduct. we have not confirmed the contacts in that conversation, but clearly a topic of conversation is one that's starting to bubble up here on capitol hill today. andrea? >> everything might change depending on the outcome of the midterm elections. that all remains to be seen. kristen and kasie, thanks so much for being stalwarts on all of this. >>> roy moothe president not acknowledging the setback of the election in alabama. let's get some words from chief correspondent who wrote that piece, and msnbc political analyst, heidi prizbollah, and a "new york times" reporter. you all have so many titles. i'm going to go t

boehner and i said we cannot shut government down napna. that's wrong for the american people. as much as my members despise what you're doing, i'll give you 200 votes to keep government open. that's how many democrats we had. i'll give you 200 votes. that took a lot of calming of the waters. you know what he said? i can't bring up the bill. i said, wait a minute. everybody, the president, senate, democrats and republicans, house democrats now agreeing to the republican house number are giving you what you want. he said, i can't bring it up. i don't have the votes. i said you don't have 18 votes? i can't bring it up with 18 votes. what was that about? the only people not agreeing to the house republican budget number were the house republicans members. they shut down government. 17 days later government reopened. many of the people who voted to shut it down and keep it closed are in the leadership of this congress now, mulvaney being one. the responsibility on keeping government open is with the majority and we have never advocated shutting government down and they have the vot

boehner said it would be very difficult for me. i worked with joe bartman, and the long and short of it is we had to come up with a compromise to provide him a special place and for me to retain the chairmanship. i also realized it would not look good for a person like -- hoistede wasted out of this position with my seniority. the compromise i realize was to give them vice chair and he will be able to go to all subcommittees as vice-chairman and have great jurisdiction, and i would continue to be chairman of the telecommunications. it was a great compromise. host: speaker boehner mentioned the amount of money you would be able to raise as well. guest: he said that i -- i gave him 150,000 dollars, and he indicated it would have to be double that, and i said that is not reasonable. i don't think i should have to do that. that became a difficult spot. i had to give more money. i did give more money, but roy blunt, the majority leader, had much more access than i did. but in the end, the vote came down on the energy and commerce commit

as the price continues to go up so does the boehner ability tell us about the significance of the risks for people wanting to get into this sort of investment well i mean it's still very much on tested water i mean right now if you're getting into bitcoin there are two ways to do it either you buy bitcoins yourself like a normal. stock or normal financial assets or you go but mind them which is a kind of a complicated process which allows you to create your own bitcoins now both of them are attached to significant investments on your part and at the end of the day there's the possibility of festen loss as we saw today and also the extreme vulnerability i mean we've we've seen a valuation curve on bitcoin that started here the beginning of the year and it's all the way up there and for a lot of financial experts that reeks of bubble and we've we've also seen fluctuations of fifteen hundred dollars on an individual day so if there's a possibility of making an incredible amount of money but also losing it as well there are lots of warnings out singapore and germany today yesterday france l

john boehner in 2010, folks. roll it. >> can you say it was done openly with transparency and accountability? without back room deals and behind closed doors hitten frdd the people? hell no, you can't. have you read the bill? have you read the reconciliation bill? have you read the manager's amendment? hell no, you haven't. >> john boehner classic. you were somewhere around the house when he was delivering that speech. this is the way it works. it is one of the many reasons people look at washington and go like this. the republicans did run on this notion and more on the house and the senate to be fair of reading the bills and understanding what they are voting on and not rushing it through. it's not as if it's a minor piece of legislation, but it's the biggest tax overhaul in a generation that affects every person. >> they did the same with health care. the bills were passed in the dead of night. i don't think it was early in the day when that bill passed. it's just a matter of who is in charge. governing is har

two parties are un members very threatening all the other members this is bullying and this john boehner will not bow to the without. even countries that often disagree on major issues came together to reject the u.s. says move on jerusalem rivals such as saudi arabia and iran and also india and pakistan were all unanimous in their condemnation at the general assembly some of the political experts we heard from say america's bullying tactics undermine the un think it's unfortunate that the united states finds itself under this kind of leadership which is undermining the standing of this country internationally if countries acquiesce to the us and if they accept being punching bag for the american administration and voting in accordance with directives from nikki haley then what's the point of having the united nations i think we all know. the new era in which a major. resorts through blackmail and bribery all you can see if your votes in the general assembly this is the first occasion on which the state decree a major. member of the security council has resorted to such measures i do thi

i am getting so many calls and having covered that, the post john boehner, post kevin mccarthy and paulnly choice. he very much did not want to do this. did not top the do the fund-raising and the travel. he has young children and understood what it took. we shouldn't be terribly surprised that it's running in 2018 or 2020. he is not going to be the speaker for 40 years. >> the house majority leader, he was asked by reporters when the news started to spread. he said i they were talking about. and he said he didn't think it was true. speaker is not retiring. where did you get that from? >> nobody is saying that. phil isn't saying that. he says he is having serious conversations close to him about possibility. >> if they lose a lot of seats, it would make him more likely, although you don't want to go out that way. >> we'll continue to stay on top of this story. we have live pictures coming in from the white house briefing room. the press secretary sarah sanders getting ready to come to the lectern any moment. she will have a statement and answer reporters questions. we'll have that and a

boehner said? i can't bring that to the floor. the only group that did not support the republican budget number for the republican democrats -- were the republican members of the house. your own number. i said what was that about? were you supposed to be calling a bluff? he said i just can't bring it to the floor. i don't have the votes. i said, well, we don't like it. but we absolutely cannot shut government down. we'll agree to the 988. they wouldn't bring it to the floor. they shut government down. speaker was part of that. mulvaney was part of that. many of the leadership of this congress were part of shutting it down. and when 17 days later, because of public pressure, and billions of dollars lost to the economy, 17 days later, government was opened and mr. hoyer mentioned how many republicans voted to keep government closed. many of them among the leadership in this congress right now. of the em, the head office of management and budget. when we talk about who agreeed to what and where, i of the want you to be reminded, i do

john boehner did it. we acted in a bipartisan basis with john boehner on a number of items.aking sure doctors were compensated for medicare. we have worked in a bipartisan basis. we tapped the government open. every time it's kept open, it is kept open because of democratic votes. one time, the three leaders, republican leaders wanted to keep the government open. they only got 84 of their members to vote with them. 87. they had 250 members. it was democrats that kept it open. >> bret: so you're optimistic? >> we haven't had a great show of bipartisanship up to this point. i am hopeful they will reach across the aisle and we will have discussions and do the things the american people need done. >> bret: congressman, we appreciate your time. they say speed kills. it may have. we will tell you how fast the amtrak train was going yesterday before he derailed. here's what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering. fox 2 in detroit. nine michigan cities and counties filed lawsuits against opioid manufacturers distributors and retailers. they contend they are respo

every afternoon former speaker john boehner calls me up, not to give advice, just to laugh.it was john boehner who was the one who tried to convince me to take this job of speaker. he even got cardinal mullen to call me and convince me to take this job. god may forgive you, cardinal, but i will not. >> there was chaos during the presidential campaign and repeatedly this year. but in the reports these days that speaker ryan may be waiting to pack it in after the president's tax cuts, the president called to check in. and the speaker made clear, just wild rumors. is it? is paul ryan thinking of packing it in? >> i don't think it's wild rumors at all. i don't think you would find a lot of folks on the hill to say he's going to be there beyond 2020 and he might not even be there for the next election. >> if you think you're going to have to hand the gavel back to nancy pelosi, do you want to be speaker when that happens? >> he has to file for reelection. you can't run for reelection when you're urging people in your caucus to run for election yourself. so he has to run for reele

he abruptly took the job when boehner stepped down. the white house is making it clear that the president wants ryan to stay put. >> the president did speak to the speaker, not too long ago, and made sure that the speaker knew very clearly in no uncertain terms that if that news was true he was very unhappy with it. the speaker assured the president that those were not accurate reports and that they look forward to working together for a long time >> now ryan is 47 years old and has three young children. two years ago when he initially expressed a lack of interest in the job he said it was for empty nesters. >>> a texas republican lawmaker is said to be doing the right thing by leaving congress. blake fahrenthold posted a video online saying he won't seek reelection next year. he denied sexual allegations against him. but he blamed the workplace environment less than profession a speaker pavul ryan said there were accusations against fahrenthold that were yet to surface. there are many asking for him to step down right now. ryan zinke

rights of palestinian people america will put our embassy in jerusalem this is bullying and john boehner will not walk to the. polls close across catalonia as voters choose a new parliament the stuff election was called after the region's attempt to break away from spain.

speaker boehner mentioned the amount of money you would be able to raise as well. him 150,000e dollars, and he indicated it would have to be double that, and i said that is not reasonable. i had to give more money. i did give more money, but roy blunt, the majority leader, had much more access than i did. , the vote came down on the energy and commerce committee members, and i think i had a lot of influence there, so when it came to the decision, we thered senator blunt opportunity to be vice-chairman of the whole committee, which he agreed to, and then i became chairman of the subcommittee. when i was on the house floor in speaker boehner came up to me and said stearns, you are very, very lucky. that was a great skill for being able to do that, because at that point i really wasn't sure i could win. host: that is while the stories recounted in "life in the marble palace." a book by the honorable cliff stearns, who joins us now. the first call for you comes from virginia, democrat line. jay, you're on with cliff stearns. go ahead. , i was mr. stearns wondering abou

legal expert carlos romeo caster boehner sees the voluntary agreement as useless he's a member of the spanish commission for reproductive medicine he's disappointed that the commission couldn't push through an age limit when the legislation about assisted reproduction was passed in two thousand and six. i personally detail to the problems associated with late pregnancies for the health minister. but i didn't want to set an age limit because of a woman's right to self-determination. nobody cares if a man becomes a father at seventy but they do with the mother does of course the mother is responsibilities greater she plays a more important rule at least i think so even if she shouldn't. say that. at eighty five years spanish women have one of the world's highest life expectancies so lena alvarez may well be able to see her daughter far into adult hood. over the past year we've witnessed a further decline in democracy in turkey a deterioration in both press and personal freedoms ever since the failed coup in two thousand and sixteen and the aggression shown towards anyone perceived as a

electrical engineer in manuel boehner came up with another idea he built a multi-functional device charged by solar panels it's a clock alarm and a mobile phone charger all in one when there's a power outage it uses solar energy stored in a battery. well we do so far. as a result of that most people find it difficult so challenged as well you know use lights up nights so the essence of this child would want us to walk a lot like this is this is to provide lights in a house when there's probably power outage. it takes a manual about three hours to make a single clock. the clock then costs the equivalent of about eighty euros so it's not cheap but emanuel has still been able to sell sixteen of them. tellem are due to churchill pool was one of his first customers. since i bought it i can help him especially the. twenty four hour swim i guess he light. controls all of them even the. i. am posting on but flight prices daily has been walking. emanuel hopes his invention will soon be mass produced but the clock will be much more affordable. what it is miles produced the president for dubbed to. g

boehner is an example of that.nd, look, if he can go out, having passed tax reform -- going out on top. neil: paul ryan's office is denying the "politico" report. there is a report in "politico" getting some buzz. it has sliced some advances in the dow. i'm not saying exclusively that. we were up 60 points. now we're up eight 1/2. this might be among the reasons. >> what does it say about the midterms. if republicans are bracing for losing lots of seats next year, potentially losing house, democrats think they have more momentum after these past two elections in virginia and alabama, i'm wondering how that factors in? what signals this sends about majority. neil: alabama is one-off regardless what you think about that. democrats are pouncing a sign south could turn. i that was all roy moore. what am i missing? >> i don't know the south turn, take that with virginia governor's race. neil: georgia race. >> enthusiasm among democrats. >> that is exactly the point. so you may be right in that alabama was a one-off, you

when john boehner left they pr as soon as i got here and it was fascinating to see that play out. is a young guy. he has kids that are young. he will be in demand. if he wants to leave he will be in demand for. >> a lot of different things. and that position again is a very tough position to be in. >> it's a thankless position. >> absolutely it is. let's talk about the weather now. it is still cold outside, a little windy. sue palka. >> those winds have been relentless haven't they shawn and jim. they kicked up after that clipper went by. the wind chill will be noticeable if you head out. once the winds are down we're really cold overnight. quite a chilly start to your friday morning. you'll find a lot of places down in the low 20's and guess what, for the third time in one week the chance of a few snow showers around tomorrow afternoon and early evening. maybe enough to cause some slick spots east of 95, more likely on the delmarva peninsula tomorrow. the weekend is looking like it will be not quite as cold as today and tomorrow have been. and next more of a mild pattern change.

boehner said? i can't bring that to the floor.the only group that did not support the republican budget were the republican members of the house. your own number. i said what was that about? were you supposed to be calling a bluff? he said i just can't bring it to the floor. i don't have the votes. i said, well, we don't like it. but we absolutely cannot shut government down. we will agree to the $988 billion. they wouldn't bring it to the floor. they shut government down. the speaker was part of that. mulvaney was part of that. many of the leadership of this congress were part of shutting it down. and when 17 days later, because of public pressure, and billions of dollars lost to the economy, 17 days later, government was opened and mr. hoyer mentioned how many republicans voted to keep government closed. many of them among the leadership in this congress right now. one of them, the head of the office of management and budget. so when we talk about who agreed to what and where, i want you to be reminded, i don't know if you were

threatened or the other members this is bullying and this john boehner will not bow to the dock and your correspondent kill him or pin has been following the general assembly hearing. the results are in one hundred twenty eight countries voted for the resolution with nine countries are voting with the united states to oppose it thirty five abstentions and another number of countries that did not attend the vote and did not formally vote now at this point we've heard some strong words from nikki haley in the lead up to the vote nikki haley took the floor in the general assembly hall and made some of these following comments this is nikki haley united states will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation america will put our embassy in jerusalem we're seeing even some a long time allies of the united states voting against it and voting for this resolution we saw members of nato european union countries that generally support the united states and agree with it in international bodies and d
