[laughter] that is the john boehner magic.had the red wine, the trattoria, the smokes, the golf. in some ways, it's almost like a caricature of a powerful leader come to life walked right off the page of some political cartoon. but you also have this remarkably forthright, goodhearted and genuine person. one of the most down to earth individuals this town has ever seen. many have observed john embodies the american dream, as others have said, one of 12 kids living in a one bedroom house and wiping down a bar in a factory town grows up to walk the corridors of power and actually gets his portrait hung right here in the u.s. capitol. but that is not the whole story. the story is not just that john climbed from a humble start to wield all this power. the real reason why john has lived the american dream is how he used that power, working to help other children write new stories of their own. john knew in his bones that he was speaker of the house for a reason. john knew he was speaker because small factory towns do not fight for

last week, former house speaker john boehner wasn't honored at the u.s. -- john boehner was honored at u.s. capitol. at the ceremony, we will hear from current house speaker nancy pelosi and other congressional leaders. >> ladies and gentlemen, the honorable nancy pelosi, speaker of the united states house of representatives. speaker pelosi: good afternoon, everyone. as the speaker of the house, it is my official and personal honor to welcome friends of speaker john boehner to the u.s. capitol on this historic day. the presence of members from both sides of the aisle, from both sides of the capital, is a testament to the respect that all have for john, mr. speaker. we are pleased to welcome two former speakers. we anticipate speaker gingrich, who is with us, and speaker ryan. both of them are here. [applause] welcome and extend our gratitude to debbie, lindsay, and tricia, and the entire boehner family for sharing john with this congress and with our country. it is my privilege to invite the delivery of the invocation. >> i am surrounded by quadrophonic speakers. [laughter] dear god --

boehner speaker is a great speakerho has -- boehner is a great patriot who dedicated his life.ppropriate that we dedicate his portrait here in this pantheon where great americans are mortal -- immortalized in portraits and bronze. now his portrait will be in the speaker slobbery and it inspiring, enduring monument to the contributions he made to this country. i was trying to thing a vocation's when i saw john crying. and then -- of -- i was trying to think of occasions when i saw john crying. i think he was crying when he gave me the gavel of speaker of the house. [laughter] being the first woman speaker, it was emotional, wasn't it, john? in john's farewell speech on the house floor, he said, the people's house is that great embodiment of the american dream. all of the speakers have addressed that aspect of john's life, of a speakers life. how appropriate that john served as speaker of the house because john is the personification of the american dream. in his story, we are reminded of the promise of america. that a hard-working son of an ohio bar man can rise to be speaker of

[laughter] than john boehner.congress, john served in several leadership roles and as committee chair. in modern history, he was among the best prepared in history to be elected to become speaker. and this preparation served john well, and our country. history will be very kind to this man. from the time john received that gavel from then former speaker nancy pelosi, until this year when i had to return it, the federal government was spending less in discretionary than it was when john was first handed the gavel. i do not know if that will ever happen again. it has already been broken. john also secured new educational opportunities through charter schools for underprivileged children in d.c. and across the country. and john showed his love for freedom by commissioning the freedom foyer in the capitol which includes the bust of winston churchill. he did this while skillfully managing diverse views and personalities. [laughter] you know who they are. [laughter] i saw this firsthand when we worked together to earn t

[applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the honorable nancy pelosi, speaker of the united states house of representatives. >> good afternoon, u everyone. as speaker of the house it is my official and personal honor to welcome friends house speaker john boehner to the u.s. capitoh on this historic day. the presence of members from both sides ofap the aisle come from both sides of the capital is a testament to the respectes that all have or john, , mr. speaker. we are pleased to welcome two former speakers and we anticipate speaker gingrich was with us and speaker ryan. both of them are here. [applause] and we warmly welcome and extend our gratitude to debbie, the lindsey and tricia, and the entire banner family for sharing john with this congress and with our country. now it i

no one will ever know exactly what is happening in john boehner's mind in 2013. he told a number of people he fully intended to put that bill on the floor. but he told that to the obama administration and to the press and public and told numerous members of congress but yet when it came down to what he didn't do it and for somewhat obvious reasons now which is not back then but he sensed that there was another current in his caucus that will come after him if he made that move so i get that. but tip o'neill is somewhat similar figure to the day he was viewed as old-school in the 18 eighties and viewed by the proponent of democrat and having fights with ronald reagan over taxes and viewed by some as not willing to do with reagan. but tip o'neill likes john boehner so the immigration reform and control act not once or twice but three times literally pulls the bill off the schedule at a time when it could pass. i must say i thought during that 2013. what are we not doing that we could add more pressure to the left cracks but what were we offering and in there be not

something cataclysmic, boehner responds, gazing upward.have any idea what he had in mind, tim? >> well, yeah, i do sadly. and this conversation came against the backdrop of talking about, you know, 9/11, brian. and my book focuses on this period of history from 2008 to 2018. it's a sort of neat ten-year window that we can look at the trump rise and the change within the republican party. but much of this, i think, does probably go back to the post-9/11 environment because that was really the last time in which you saw the country unified, not just politically but culturally as well. there was a real sense of societal cohesion. and i think what boehner and i were discussing -- and i've had this conversation with other republicans as well. marco rubio raised this same point to me unsolicited when we were talking for the book. they said essentially, look, if 9/11 happened today, do any of us think the response would be anything close to what we saw back in 2001 and sadly i think the answer is no. i think the company has become so deeply polar

speaker boehner and i think that is a good thing.e get to a conference to iron out more difficult details, get a bill to the president to be signed that is a effort we're a part of. neil: it is not new when opposing parties specially president of one party and speaker of the other are opposing each other. you tried to deal with that and contain that, speaker boehner, but i rumors republicans were secretly concocting a impeachment process against president obama. this was not the case. >> never. neil: that expressed doubt and skepticism. you two personally got along. i don't see that with nancy pelosi and president trump. i could be missing like professional wrestling rolls to be played. >> i think i would agree with you from what i've seen. i don't watch a lot of tvs tease days. it is a little too divisive my taste. neil: you should watch more fox business, if you don't get you should demand speaker but i digress. >> i have. i'm not big on turning on the tv at all. neil: that they're overdone i think they overplay that, use that, may

and i think what boehner and i were discussing.act, raised this same point to me when we were talking for the book. they said essentially look if 9/11 happened today, do any of us think the response would be anything close to what we saw back in 2001? sadly, i think answer is no. not just along political lines but along those sort of cultural fault lines and we have become self-selected into these ideologic ideologic ideological eco chambers. there is so many of these dynamics that we can examine the political change through. but all of it adds up to a country that is sort of at war with itself. and that has manifested itself in any number of different ways. but trump clearly exploited some of that uneasiness, tension that was simmering within the party and the culture itself. >> another story in this book is about mark meadows. republican. north carolina. here it is. when word leaked to gop leadership that meadows had been involved in the plotting against boehner in 2013 even though he did not ultimately oppose him, the brand new

i do want to touch on this and this group in the the i'm born sorry let me say that again the i'm boehner a core a the youth wing of the ruling party right and ultimately it's quite informal but it is a large amount of young men operating seemingly with impunity and jonathan i'm i'm going to come back to you in a 2nd but lewis they seem to be operating without oversight but now we're starting to see reports of these these militias essentially taking the place of more formal military groups what kinds of trends have you been seeing. yeah and just to be clear you say malicious essentially that is absolutely wrong right we consider the inborn or a curry to be a youth militia of the ruling party not the government so they are extra governmental they are not tied to the government they work for the party in of themselves and they are effectively enforcers they enforce party line and they enforce felony to the party this is something that we been seeing the in boehner of korea and myself was documenting the abuses by the employer a korean can you know show sort of war in 20112012 we've been see

about 6000000 people are affected by the fires people in boehner both communities have been urged to stay away from bushland and to flee their homes before the fires and collate we've had 27 use. this before we live in the blue mountains where it was forced to but we've never had to destroy this is unbelievable i've seen the fries and the fires up the. roads and that's just i mean that's even more than catastrophic because in this you know you can do. 3 people have been confirmed dead and at least 150 properties have been lost so far authorities have to clear a 7 day state of emergency in the area. ok check now of some of the other stories making news around the world and she lays security forces a fire water cannons to disperse protesters the country has seen weeks of often violent anti-government unrest chile's government unveiled plans on sunday to draft a new constitution but the opposition says the proposals don't go far enough. and in joint letters several european nations have urged iran super vers recent moves that breach the landmark 2015 nuclear deal or face action germany

according to former speaker john boehner's marijuana investing seminar, there are hundreds of billions of dollar sitting on the sidelines waiting to invest. the safe banking account could have been drafted to narrowly address point of sale transactions. instead, the bill is written specifically to allow the hundreds of billions of dollars to invest. does anyone think that public health is going to be the driving force? already in canada the ceo of a major marijuana corporation was ousted for a single quarter of poor sales. in altria, former philip morris, has made a multibillion dollar investment into the marijuana industry. it's also important that we not deal with this question in the abstract. in particular, i refer you to the first page of appendix a where you can see marijuana concentrate called shatter, from acreage holdings, which is john boehner's new gig, notice the name of the strain. thin mint girl scout cookies. let that sink in for a second. and those are the responsible operators in the industry. i could show you plenty of examples from irresponsible operators that are mu

global affairs analyst and a staff writer and former top aid to house speakers paul ryan and john boehner, we pointed out, yes, there is a lot of nuts and bolts happening last week. the fact we have this new "new york times" reporting and more than insight into the time line here, how do you think learning about what the president knew and when will impact next week's hearings? >> i don't know. most astonishing is a significant new fact. every fact we had along the way has been remarkably consistent with the story woo we first heard from the whistle proceeder. at this point i don't know the facts are really in question. in every person that came and testified in front of the house intelligence committee the last two weeks told a very consistent story and those facts line up to what we have known all along. there is no ambiguity of what took place here. the issue is it has not persuaded the american people in a way to move any republicans and it certainly doesn't look like it's persuaded house republicans to cross over the line and vote with democrats at this point. >> as we look at all of

connell: what speaker boehner was referring to.is the idea, walk and chew gum at the same time, however you want to put it. i was wondering, should be in the democrats interest to do that. because the attack politically on the democrats, all you care about is this impeachment stuff. so you would think there is incentive to get something done, no, we care about trade and usmca and rest of it as well. i wonder if that increases odds it gets done by the end of the year, usmca? >> what you say makes logical sense. democrats being logical. they hate the president's guts. they can't stand this man. connell: don't want to give him a win? >> nothing. they want him to suffer. more pain they can do, the better. it won't go anywhere in the senate. they want the rush we got that guy. that is driving them. i wish we were logical like you are getting some things accomplished. connell: on today's testimony yes, damage was done to the president's side but you don't think it moves the needle in the senate? >> i don't think it moves the needle in th

the banner year when he was the speaker, when banner was the speaker, he was a close ally to john boehneritical of the tea party as they pushed for a government shut down. in the beginning of the trump era, he worked on a bipartisan basis with adam schiff in the initial part of the russia investigation in his committee but after he went and briefed the president in the aftermath of learning the allegations within that own probe, the democrats were furious, they called for him to step aside, an ethics investigation was launched into this which was later dismissed. he was forced to step aside, and he got angry at the way he was treated by both the media, democrats, he became much of a loaner loner in congress, pushing his own investigations into the start of the russia investigation, which you heard last week in this hearing was him over and over again calling for investigations to the other things and not any concern whatsoever into the central aspects of what has been uncovered in this impeachment inquiry. >> and again, sorry congressman, there are ways to demonstrate if you were somewher

john boehner refused to put it on the floor for a vote in the house even though there were 230 members of congress who probably would have voted for it. and then i think he refused to put it on the floor for a vote because he was scared of losing his speakership. congress has to step up and do this as well. >> congressman joaquin castro, democrat from texas. lot of people will be seeing you tomorrow. we'll all be watching. thanks for coming on and sharing your views with us this evening. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> quick reminder, we'll bring you impeachment hearings, special coverage begins tomorrow 9:00 a.m. eastern. >> michael bloomberg move over. there's a newer new guy kind of sort of in the 2020 race, but is it already too late? race, but is it already too late? ere crohn's. ere crohn's. then i realized something was missing... me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of crohn's disease after trying other medications. and the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief

>> soviet style rule, first of all that means that john boehner must have been a czar because these wereblicans were in the majority. but what's pretty clear is, they have no substantive case to make for donald trump. after what we've seen with the phone call and the testimony and the depositions that we've had already, including from those present in the room, they can't justify what donald trump did, so they're trying to focus on process. and they're focusing on process even when they've gotten what they wanted or more than what they've demanded on process. and of course what we also saw with the vote, chris, is not a single republican, including those who have privately and in one case, francis rooney, publicly expressed great misgives about trump, voting to move forward with this process. they want to make this into something partisan so they can go back to their own tribe and get them whipped up about how this is just an attempt to overturn an election, using these false arguments about what is very constitutional and calling it unconstitutional and soviet style. >> mark, chris wall

communications adviser for former speaker paul ryan and served as former press secretary for john boehnermer deputy assistant general during the clinton administration. it's your people who are doing this. this thing is being spread around republican circles that this report is going to come out and show that the fbi, for political reasons, was spying on the trump campaign. we don't know. we have not seen this report. nbc has not looked at it. if that reporting turns out to be true this might have been one of the first things donald trump did as president, start to spread this piece of information. >> yeah. it goes back to the president's belief that the conversation about russia somehow undermines or delegitimizes his election. he used to talk about this all the time. when i was working on the hill he would always talk to us about how great his victory was and the russia conversation undermined that. certainly there are republicans who went along with this theory and a lot of republicans who didn't. my former boss said there was no spying. i think this is a matter of sim mat ticks. there

a couple of washington veterans, michael steele is the spokesperson for former house speaker john boehner and adam served as deputy chief of staff to former senator harry reed. we've seen a dozen witnesses, five days. what i hear from my sources in and around the white house close to the president are, so, yeah, this wasn't all great, but none of it really ended up moving the needle. is there a greater truth to that? >> i do think it's a disingenuous spin. i think they will say nothing moved the needle no matter what evidence comes forward. >> if the needle is number of republicans that will vote to impeach the president. >> i'm including them in that category. what will herd said yesterday, even the moderate republicans have probably already decided that they're going to vote to acquit the president. it doesn't matter what facts come forward, they've already made their decision. so they're going to tell anybody who asks that nothing moved the needle. >> this is exactly right. if you look at this from the perspective of the white house, they would rather he not be impeached but that seems

so it's a simple just dismissal -- >> the procedures are john boehner's processes an procedures that he put in place. so the very thing that these republicans are railing against, the rules per se, are the rules that they put in place. the democrats are just following it. which makes all of this sham conversation a sham. >> but not just a sham, it's an outrage. >> and we're probably going to deal with this more later, but betsy, i don't disagree with you, if the democrats could find shiny new facts that really like, whoa, you know, type of thing, and i think john bolton testimony, if it -- he has the star power to change things. if i were the president, i'd be nervous about that. he's a big enough name that could capture the imagination. but this is a republican party that's more and more devoted. i mean the polls showing as the country becomes more concerned about the president's behavior, republicans are becoming less. >> and the republican strategy going into november 2020 of course is to galvanize the people who already support trump. >> that's all they want to do. >> rather than

boehner made the rules that you are objecting to, not a democrat. trump lies every day. he could not testify before mother because they were --meuller because they were afraid about what he would say. he specifically mentioned getting dirt on biden and his son. ofwas not just the idea i am so angry at you i cannot even speak. host: we will get a reaction. guest: i certainly sympathize with -- sympathize with the concerns the way the president conducts himself. it is not just one thing, it is a lot of things. that is something decided in the elections. there was no crime committed here. there were crimes committed by president clinton. did can start to things the aunt the doken starr do things beyond the initial charge? yes. there were actual crimes that were broadcast a moment ago. here they are not. in my judgment, there has yet to be shown anything by which that i would consider a high crime and ms. nina, -- and misdemeanor as something to remove a president in office. just because do not like him, that is no reason to remove him from office. host: to our independent l

it was set by john boehner and approved by republican control house.he rules of the republicans establishment has created. that's absolute nonsense. we need to get more curious and understand why and asking harder questions. why you have a group of republicans that don't want to budge. but, from what i have been able to gather from folks on the senate side, the only republican that we should be talking to and perhaps start asking questions where he may stand is lamar alexander. he actually went and contested mitch connell last time around. his mentor was a republican who went and was supportive of richard nixon at the time. he was the one that went to nixon, the gig is up. the republicans are going to have to make the vote. i would look at him closely because still behind closed doors that many republicans find it unseemingly but they need the leadership. they need osomeone to help them carry this out. >> the reality is they can get it all -- think of the op-ed, they came really close. people come close to it apparently. they could have it with pence,

for a very long time that the republicans could not on this floor neither speaker ryan, nor speaker boehner could negotiate with mr. mulvaney. minority whip knows that, madam speaker. as a matter of fact, one of the republicans talked to me about p how difficult mulvaney is to deal with. but we waited. checkoff either from the chief of staff mulvaney or the president. not we in the house, but the senate. the senate was not prepared to bring their bills, not our bills to the floor to try to achieve that bipartisan agreement of which the minority whip speaks. not a single bill was brought to the floor before the end of the fiscal year, you're not going to get any kind of agreement if you don't move forward, if you just wait for what mr. mulvaney wants us to do. i yield back. mr. scalise: i thank the gentleman again for yielding. i was just working with mr. mulvaney yesterday on usmca, something i would hope to see us bring to the house floor. it should have been done a long time ago. he and others in the administration and trying to get a negotiation concluded so we can create more job opport
