congressman chris van holland and jared bernstein, thanks you both for your time. let me say this, the preacher in me requires i make this statement. that is, you know, it is said that, that that a man sows, that shall he also reap. it is interesting to me that many on the right quote the bible but do they understand it? you cannot sow unemployment, a no jobs bill, no way for people to make money, and think you are going to reap a rebound in the economy. you have sown p and now we are all reaping what you have sown. we need to sow seeds in the american people. and provide jobs and income. then they will be consumers and it'll return the confidence of everybody. but people cannot have what you did not put there for them to be able to use consume and build. that a little advice to my friends on the right. >>> ahead, 2011 days since the gavel and not one job bill. whose gavel? speaker boehner's gavel. it's time to get serious. >>> plus, eric cantor makes a shocking admission. oi of your mone rtual wallet. it comes with a calendar that shows you all your finances at on

>> reporter: the most prevent three named, jim clyburn, chris van holland and javiar, 9/11 put those forward. interesting about those three, clyburn and recerra to the far left and chris not far behind. four stand out to me. number one, john kerry. the democratic presidential nominee in 2004. he's someone who possibly could be the next secretary of defense if president obama is re-elected. dissension on capitol hill he would be really willing to make a deal, as would all of these four. another guy on this list, chris van holland i mentioned earlier, someone who is part of the president's debt talks when they were having negotiations all summer trying to raise the debt limit. he's open to possibly giving and taking with republicans. on the gop side there's two that are very interesting. rob portman of ohio. he's someone who is bush's budget director. george w. bush, our last president, someone who's worked on these issues continuously, open to the gang of six deaf ted reduction talks that happened over the last few months. he's someone who might be wi willing to make a deal pnd and som

coming up, we'll talk with representative chris van holland and get his take on the debt deal that'sstruck and he votes for it, but how happy is he about the deal. we'll talk about that and more coming up. never missed opening . but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today i'm breathing better, and that means... game on! symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. [ whistle ] with copd, i thought i might miss out on my favorite tradition. now symbicort significantly improves my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. and that makes a difference in my breathing. today i'm back with my favorite team. ask your doctor

one of those was cast by chris van holland, ranking democrat on the house budget committee and he's good must have st hav enoue to talk about it. >> good to be with you. >> you voted yes for the bill, but it's hardly a deal that you wanted. so tell us specifically what the negative consequences your vote will have by voting for this bill on your constituent and what did you have to sacrifice? >> well, this was an exercise in damage control. we had a situation where the first time in history, history of the republic, you had a group within the house of representatives, some of the tea party republicans, who were manufacturing a crisis over the debt creel to go try to get 100% of what they wanted on the budget. they wanted to end the medicare guarantee, they wanted to slash medicaid and the social safety net, they wanted to cut education. >> we've been over this part, but let's go to why you went for it and how you feel your constituents are going to suffer as a result. >> i was in fact telling you that because they were not successful at the end of the day in doing that. they were not suc

chris van holland joins me to talk about that.his super committee to be squashed before the members are picked, six from each side? >> well, i can't say whether there's optimism or not. the super committee will only function if members come to it from both sides with an open mind. we have heard from republican colleagues that revenue is not on the table. and clearly that's going to make it impossible for the super committee to function. but they will have to face this choice. are they more interested in protecting special interest tax breaks like those for big oil companies, or the defense of the united states and national security? because if this super committee does not come up with a way to reduce the deficit there will be very big, big cuts in the area of defense. and so hopefully we can all come to the table and sanity and balance will prevail. >> i want to get your thoughts on the faa furloughs. it's been a big talk throughout the day. and the fact that congress is leaving for the next five weeks to talk jobs when they go b

people that elected them to govern, you have to wonder about their suitability to govern as chris van holland>> that's my question to chris van holland to answer to that. >> i wish he was here so you could ask him directly. this has been a great discussion. we should point out for people watching, we were able to assemble this small business panel from the e-mail that you guys all sent to our show file at friends at foxnews.com. just keep in mind, folks, we do not respond to all the e-mail but we certainly read as much as we can. all right. juan vega, mike neiman and grant lane, thank you all for joining us live from all across the country. >> thank you. >> you bet. all right. good conversation. all right. straight ahead, the budget battle is not over. the big questions left for the new super committee to answer so who should be on the committee? wait until you hear who our next panel has picked. and then country singer trace adkins is here on this wednesday. what does he think about the president's plan for the rich to pitch in and save the country? he always speaks his mind and he will in t

guest: representative dan holland really understands the federal sector -- representative chris van hollen has been a wonderful advocate, but not just for federal employees. we are very happy in maryland to have a representative chris van hollen in such an influential place. yes, we have talked to him and they're very concerned about federal retirement. we think that is going to be on the chopping block. that is one thing that we are really advocating to make sure that people look fancy -- federal employees have already taken a pay freeze and they a going to have a huge job cuts. going after people's retirement is something i think is the wrong thing to do. host: are we talking about healthcare? guest: no, we are talking about pensions. if you were making $50,000 as a federal employee, your pension would be about $16,000. the plans that we have seen will increase the employee contribution to that pension and reduce the actual amount to $10,000. now, that is a very heavy hit. these pensions are not as glamorous as people think. so, i just hope it does n get caught up in politics and ideolog
