that was also an issue addressed by dan pfeiffer an event earlier in the day, hosted by the christian science monitor. more broadly, he spoke about immigration policy moving forward. >> i think that we have two separate issues, separate but related issues. one is we have a specific challenge at one portion of the border in the rio grande valley, and we have to deal with that. that requires sending additional resources, both redirecting resources we have and asking for resources from congress. second, we have to deal with, we were talking about the executive action around long before we had this specific challenge at the border, so obviously, what's happening at the border is part of the backdrop for the decision for -- the thinking behind this and the decision we'll make. i think it will probably increase the angry reaction from republicans. you already have senator cruz saying that he will not allow there to be a vote on the immigration bill unless we agree to deport all of the dreamers who had received deferred action under the president's executive action of 2012. i think that spea

dan pfeiffer doing his best impression of propaganda claiming that if congress won't vote for what president obama demands, and there can only be one interpretation of their refusal. saying that the refusal would amount to a surrender of the constitutional power and thereby would transfer their power to the executive branch, giving president obama permission to use his executive authority. claiming that a major executive order will come at the end of next month. >> i'm not going to get into details that may or may not be coming around out there. he says that he wants to take executive action, he's waiting for them to come back to him throughout the end of the summer and we're not there yet. >> incredible that even the left-leaning website is taking note if not exceptions about the outrageous assertions of unconstitutional conduct by the president and his administration. entitled obama's immigration folk rock, saying that he insisted for years that he had no legal authority and none whatsoever to slow deportations on a broadside. he said he pledges to use executive powers by the and of e whit

dan pfeiffer my concern is -- mr. walz my concern is this is a temporary fix and we are heightening expectations of veterans and not being able to meet those expectations and i think in the end it could be even weakening va instead of making it stronger. we need to make sure in the end that va is stronger and they are able to fulfill their mission successfully. >> and i say briefly my biggest concern right now is the house and the senate passed several really good bills and went into conference with our understanding being that jurisdiction would be to merge the two bills and to pass them out. seems like everybody and their brother see this as one of the only if not the only moving trains. if you all can focus on it you certainly have our support doing so, merging tweaking and finalizing what you pass and getting that done and not thrilling and all these other provisions that people want to put on a moving train. 17 billion extra, i mean i think you have to pass what you have in front of you now with the jurisdiction

this is dan pfeiffer friday speaking about the republican party's impeachment fever. >> a lot of people in town laugh that off. i would not discount the possibility. speaker boehner, by going down the path of the lawsuit has opened the door to considering impeachment at some point in the future. i think the president acting on immigration reform will up the likelihood that they would contemplate impeachment at some point. >> wow. white house press secretary josh ernest isn't laughing it off. he's sparring with reporters on friday who openly wondered if the democrats used impeachment to raise money by themselves. >> do you believe the president could be impeached? >> i think there are senior members of the republican political party, certainly prominent voices for exactly that. >> it sounds like a fund raising, political ploy, not a real thing. you don't think the president will be impeached, do you? >> there are some republicans including some running for office hoping to get into office to impeach the president. that is a view they have because it's one they have repeatedly expressed p

campaign committee sent out a series of what they called impeachment red alert e mails, they cited dan pfeiffer'snt as if it was proof that impeachment is on the menu for the republican party and they ask for contributions to elect the president. the white house just announced that they believe speaker john boehner's lawsuit could lead to the impeachment of president barack obama. we are now on full red alert at democratic headquarters. no top republican has called for impeachment, there has been no action taken toward impeachment on capitol hill. and most republican insiders believe speaker boehner's lawsuit is an attempt to satisfy his right base by taking action that stops well short of impeachment. today boehner called all that impeachment talk a democratic scam republicans have no current plans to impeach the president and no future plans to impeach the president. the whole talk about impeachment is coming from the president's own staff. and from democrats on capitol hill, the reason democrats are trying to rally their base to give money and show up at the poles this november. back to you, s

. >> back state side, white house senior adviser dan pfeiffer said yesterday the administration is takingriously the threats from republicans like sarah palin to impeach president obama. her claims were taken as pretty laughable to most people in washington. what is the white house's play here? >> i'm not exactly sure. i do know there are republicans in the house who feel very strongly they need to have an impeachment resolution. i heard one member say, republican member say, if i don't -- if i'm not able to vote for impeachment, i can't win this fall. i think that's probably an exaggeraex a exaggerati exaggeration, but there's that sentiment in the house. i can't imagine that the administration is really trying to kind of taunt them and dare them to impeach them, hoping it will happen. clearly, it would be i think a disaster politically for republicans, but, you know, i really don't have any idea what the white house is doing there. >> okay. i want to talk about what happened this weekend when we saw the case of a prolonged execution of a death row inmate. i'm talking about the convicted

to democrats floating the idea that republicans want impeachment but as white house spokesman dan pfeifferointed out on twitter boehner made similar denials regarding the government shutdown. >> there should be made no comments regarding a government shutdown. that's not the goal here. >> we all know what happened then. in response, they took to tweeting out calling for impeachment to remind us this did not materialize out of thin air. s south dakota gop calling for it. senator lindsey graham to congressman steve king and the list goes on and on. of course, i totally get why republicans think this is all a cynical ploy by democrats considering they just had their biggest fund-raising haul this election cycle and sends out fund-raising e-mails like this one. sarah palin got things rolling. monday she went on a show to defend the idea. listen to her explaining the reverse psychology. >> i absolutely passionately believe it is possible. first, i believe liberals want us to believe that they love hearing this talk of impeachment because they're going to be able to turn it around for their re-e

dan pfeiffer raised the impeachment issue with reporters at a breakfast meeting last friday.ebbie wasserman-schultz echoed the idea that republicans might move from suing the president to impeaching him when she spoke before the national urban league later the same day. democrats have september out highly successful fund-raising e-mails with subject lines like "breaking: impeachment." let's be clear. democrats have been floating the idea of republicans impeaching the president with the entirely cynical political desire to pump up fund-raising and activate the base. that is true, but here's the thing. this has not been tone indone i vacuum. takes two to tango. let's remember, a lot started with sarah palin, a lot of people still listen to. when she wrote in a breitbart op-ped it was time to impeach the president, that sparked the fund-raising e-mail. polling shows 57% of republicans support impeaching the president. john boehner disagrees with those, he backed a lawsuit, and if the lawsuit is dismissed by a court, it's easy to see how that could increase calls to stop impeachm

white house senior adviser dan pfeiffer told reporters i think speaker boehner by going down the path of this lawsuit has opened the door to impeachment sometime in the future boehner has repeatedly said he's out plenty of impeach president obama said that he disagrees with sarah pail on the leading pietschmann to procure legal meanwhile despite the lawsuit pfeifer said that president obama will continue to act by executive powers if republicans in congress refused to add a new c.n.n. o.r.c. poll released today finds that two thirds of americans oppose any impeachment efforts so first question it seems to me that this is just another variation on the birth certificate this is trying to deal with this president how dare he is you know george bush george w. bush delayed at least five different provisions of medicare part d. barack obama delays a part of obamacare oh my god he's our you should be is a. democrat for that they did. actually congress well courted in congress converses during its term in the last few years when they were in power during the bush presidency filed six differen

dan pfeiffer made comments as well.e is one example why steve scalise says he thinks the white house is one talking about it. house gop wrong priorities. new whip scalise won't rule in border vote this week. won't rule out impeachment. do you think there is collective effort to keep this word floating around? >> i think the president and his as allies would do anything to shift away from things that matter. right now immigration is a failure. the fact that the president doesn't have proper immigration policy, our border is broken. you look at our energy policy, our foreign policies. our allies don't trust us or respect us and right now our foes don't fear or respect us as well. so there is some very real props throughout the world and throughout this country that the president wants to shift that blame to someone else. martha: what do you see, you know, when you're campaigning, we also reached out to your opponent, likely opponent, jeanne shaheen to talk to her as well, what do you think is the main thing on mind of peo
