let's ask eric cantor. he is on set for us the next half hour. republican leader eric cantor. we just called it a cut. i showed you this. it's less of an increase. i don't know whether it's really a cut. and number two, if jackie collins of the "new york times" in the fourth paragraph even admits that it's likely the republicans -- it's got these big revenues, taxes in it again with no lowering of marginal rates, maybe it's not a serious proposal. the midterms come up. he said this week i want pelosi back in as speaker, right? and she knits right there maybe this is more posturing to paint you in the obstructionist quarter. >> first of all, we're not going to see pelosi back in as speaker. i think the american people want to see, you know, a check and a balance in washington. we're about to see the implementation of obama care right now. people who are making premiums now struggling. small businesses, employees, looking to see how they're going to get covered. it's going to be a real challenge, this administration. i think we have a lot of room for improvement on that. as far

house majority leader eric cantor will be with me in a few moments about the high-priority items incoming reform, and the president's claim today that the sequester is hurting the economy much worse than a lot of people think. your money is at stake here. don't miss that interview. >>> and also ahead, new bubble in the housing market, fact or fiction? diana olick is breaking down whether the housing market is indeed in overheated mark eed m. get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughing ] move to the country, and live a long, happy life together where they almost never fight about money.

eric cantor doesn't sound like a virginiaian or republican anymore.ke someone else. >> now, apparently senator rand paul, he seems to be okay with this group, or at least he's involved a little bit, not backing it completely. what does that say to you? >> wolf, the group is trying to do what? i only heard the tail end of the ad. >> the group is saying some republicans aren't tough enough in fighting the new efforts for greater gun control and specifically point to eric cantor, the majority leader if the house, saying eric cantor doesn't sound like a virginian or republican anymore. >> i would say there, that rand paul is attacking away from the libertarian views of his father. now, the libertarians would say anything like this probably doesn't make sense. why does it make sense to have these kinds of controls. he's saying, look, he's saying to regular -- to conservatives, hey, i'm with you guys. i'm not a libertarian. that would be my interpretation of that. >> yeah, he is certainly rewriting a new chapter and moving away from his dad. writing his own

interesting way this is something that republicans seem to support at least house majority leader eric cantor who said quote mapping the human brain is exactly the type of research we should be funding it's great science so if this is great a great investment if this is something we should be doing then where do we draw the line what else should we be investing in right now as opposed to cutting as it seems like most republicans have been obsessed with over the last few years mark let's start with you the brain project it sounds cool and i'm sure there are some things that it can do i think if it doesn't work it sort of ends up being like reagan star wars you know you got this thing literally called the brain project problem here and what i've seen on the coverage of this is they want to balance and say is this something we should do when we're making cuts and we have seaquest duration this isn't something we should do period i hope this is good science and i think there are places that should do this universities for instance and the pi the private sector but this idea that they're going to

eric cantor was forced to retreat.hat the tea party is in charge. >> in a lot of ways they are. they have driven the conversation of that particular party to the right, but the one place i would like to give john boehner credit is that in times when the bill needs to get done -- >> bill: i'm talking about yesterday's one attempt to get this passed. who won who lost yesterday? >> the leadership lost. >> bill: right and the tea party won. that's my only point -- i don't see how you can deny that. >> i think that that is fair. >> bill: yeah. >> but the question of who is in charge is i think -- i -- i just think it's fair to say that in times where votes have been needed, whether it's to keep the government open or keep our country from going into default john fugelsang has been able to muster enough votes at the end with democratic help to do all of those things, so there has never been a lapse in that regard. >> bill: there is a key phrase with democratic help. >> sure. >> bill: we have more to talk about, in fact -- on

well, eric cantor, in his interview with ryan lizza of "the new yorker" a couple of months ago basically corrected him. he said, well, i talked to boehner and said it really wouldn't be a good idea to reach a deal now because then the issue evaporates. the president gets the credit, and he has a better chance of being re-elected. better to keep it alive and fight it out in the -- in the election. >> and it didn't pay off for them, did -- >> it didn't pay off at all. >> except they held the house but it didn't pay off for them in the senate. he lost two seats in the senate. didn't pay off for him in winning the presidency? >> it was a -- call it a riverboat gamble, i suppose you could say. because what cantor said in that interview was -- if we win it all, then we don't have to compromise. they didn't. but the reaction wasn't, all right, now we have to compromise. instead it was, we're still not going to compromise. >> you've said you have some hope for the senate. there is some seeming to have to someone from afar movement on immigration. is that must be hopeful to you? >> it is, but it'

that's what cantor's saying. >> well, to be clear, eric cantor is right there is freedom of speech inn your freedom of speech or your opinion takes the place of oppression, when you begin to restrict other people's rights, that's when it becomes a problem. it's no longer just about an opinion or tolerances of differences in that way. it's about really creating a problem for folks who deserve to have equal rights and justice. that's the problem. >> what do you think, krystal? >> i think the republicans have run out of arguments here, right? >> they've not run out of absurd, offensive comments, have they? plenty of those. >> they've still got those. on this and any other number of issues. >> yeah. >> they've run out of any sort of compelling argument and it's amazing to see how uncomfortable cantor gets with this whole line of questioning and really just wants to change the subject. and they won't let him. you know, if you think about progression of this issue, back in 2000, 2004, this was something the republican party conservatives wanted to talk about. they wanted to make this case.

congressman eric cantor tweeted "why is president obama unnecessarily delaying your flight?" white house spokesman jay carney told reporters "the faa has no choice under the automatic budget cuts brought about by the congressional republican budget priorities. the gop can eliminate sequestration by approving a debt reduction plan that includes taxes from the wealthy through the closing of loopholes." "these cutbacks, with all the harm that's being caused to the traveling public, there's just no reason that i can see that justifies what's being done here." flight delay information is available at faa.gov. a bill will be introduced in the senate today aimed at banks that are considered too-big-to- fail. the legislation is meant to reduce risk at banks carrying more than $500 billion in assets. under the bill, the nation's largest lenders would have to raise the amount of money on hand, known as capital standards. the bi- partisan legislation is backed by a senate democrat and republican. they say the intent is to guard against the need for a taxpayer bailout in a financial cris

president obama was suggesting something that eric cantor had already suggested. is there a meet ing of the mind here. this is a frifle of the overall picture as peter was indicating. is it a little bit of a crack? maybe it's a way to begin negotiations. i'd be shocked if that happened before the 2016 election. guest: there are a couple of different ways of coming up with a budget that is acceptable. one is raise revenue and taxes. that only buys you a couple of years because these cost are growing on the healthcare side and on social security side you have how long people are living so it doesn't solve the problem. you can shift things around who pays for them. higher co-pays for the elderly and so forth. the elderly are stressed financially. we know people who spend their lives in golf resorts. but most of the elderly once they hit around 75, they are stressed financially. and these solutions which shift more and more of the burden to them out of pocket, that's how they are going to pay for things over. host: democratic caller. caller: the more they talk the mor

is the eric cantor at risk of being put on this list?he web site,onto you have to represent a district that mitt romney won significantly by double digits or more. then you have basically a 70 or below is scorecard. we do a score for every session of congress, and we read abouts -- rate members whether they have a pro-growth agenda or not. e is the most recent addition. the reason being, he came out against president obama's support of chain cpi for social security and entitlement. support it for tax purposes, but we do for entitlement reform. when he said it was an attack on seniors. we think republicans are engaged in a mixed message when they say entitlements will kill us, we have to reform them, but we most minor of reforms when we slow the growth of benefits. we think that is the wrong thing those recruiting candidates republican party to be saying. host: are you behind marco rubio's efforts for immigration? do you see it as an economic issue? guest: we see it as an economic issue but we are united in its economic policy. frankly, w

chris christie of course mentioned, eric cantor. here i am talking to eric cantor. stenney hoyer. >> we have pictures, cleaver was there. >> bill: the administration i had a chance to talk to kathleen sebelius, ray lahood. and among the sell bebrities, the two that i was most excited to see, kevin spacey and barbara streisand, had a good conversation with barbara streisand, whom i knew from my california days and there were other celebrities scattered about. >> my geekout home was when i got up to use the restroom and patrick stewart, sir patrick stewart in star trek but professor x was coming up and sir ewen mckown who played the bad guys were coming up statement. i have to get a picture with you 2. i got a picture with the two of them next to each other. >> bill: all about scholarships. we bring money for scholarships as well. but it's a chance to schmooze, if you will, for the media to schmooze one night of the year. do you think it's getting too buddy buddy? do you think it's too cozy? 866-55-press. i would love to hear how the dinner appears to all of our good

these delays was a point of leverage and looking that strategically here, i want to give you an eric cantor memo sent out on this fix. as cq role call reporter said last night, make no mistake, this fix is a complete utter cave by democrats and if signed by the white house they would only replace a he is quester with tax increases. but last night senators were adopting the cut this not that approach. this victory is in large part as a result of standing under the banner of hash tag obama flight delays. has a leverage been given up. or has a precedent been made, to fix and the kids in head start are fill out of luck? >> one of the more galling things on the part of the republicans is that they suggested that the whole faa thing was just a political manipulation, and that it wasn't real. and i think that the idea that these are absolutely real cuts finally hit home to them. i don't think so, chris, that we've given up leverage. it th is not the only thing that will come up and i don't think it is the only effort that the -- or the only squawking that republicans are going to do -- >> do about

. >> which is why people like mitt romney and paul ryan and eric cantor treat her almost as the fourth person of the holy trinity. at the end of the day, i think it wasn't just the rhetoric. remember, also, in the 1980s she unleashed some of the worst race riots because of the excessively overly heavy policing that she encountered in communities and one that i grew up in that resulted in this. there was real domestic strife going on at the same time as you are rightly critiquing that she did some very positive things else where. >> i want to shift, i want to hit two more things on here. one is sort of the glass ceiling that she broke in some ways. obviously, becoming the first lady prime minister. i think political reporters do it, you were picturing president hillary clinton and saying to yourself, okay, how does she compare to prime minister margaret thatcher. i think a lot of women politicians almost know that they're going to, if they have an executive ambition, a time that they're going to be compared to her on the foreign stage and that's where they want to show the steel spine.

and bringing up the rear came house majority leader, eric cantor.sarily delaying your flights?" same hash

especially considering this bill is also being touted by none other than house majority leader eric cantor as part of republicans re-branding, to hit a new conservative agenda that addresses the issues that matter today like the stresses that working families face. here's cantor making just that case back in february at the american enterprise institute. >> there's a police officer at my home in district her name is vicki. she's working a tough job with long hours while raising her kids. her life is made a little easier because she's a local government employee. she's permitted to work extra hours and save it up for a sick day or school event. just imagine if we simply gave this opportunity to employees and employers, at their option, in the private sector. a working mom or working dad could make overtime now and reap the benefits of it when they -- when their kids needed them and they wouldn't have to miss work so they could still pay the rent. this is the kind of common sense legislation that should be non-controversial and moves us in the right direction to help make life work for more

for eric cantor and other, john boehner to talk in favor of the dream act, i think we've seen that we're going to have support of it. so we're going to see it in the a piecemeal in the house. i think we're going get a lot of legislations out of the house. and once they come into conference, you know, we're going to get a bill that will be comprehensive. >> how much have things changed in terms of the tenor of this, particularly in house part? the house republican caucus is probably the most conservative legislative caucus we've seen in many, many years, generations, possibly. have you -- what is the tenor of the rhetoric amongst your republican colleague there's, and it is moving in a direction where you can actually see something getting done? >> i think we're going to have something accomplished. and i think it's because -- stephen colbert said until the scientists can create a way for a hispanic woman to give birth to an old white man, the republicans for politics are going to have to be for immigration reform. and they are. they realize that they're going to be dragged into the 21st

> we're hearing more and more of the party's leaders and up-and-comers, not only paul ryan, but eric cantorby jindal, the governor of louisiana, sounding much the same note. which is one, we're going to have to present some fresh ideas. and two, we've got to quit you know, excluding people who don't agree with us on absolutely everything. >> and anna, do you get the sense -- you're covering all the sort of influence industry. these members of congress, particularly on the republican side, their biggest worry are primaries do they care what national polling suggests and what their national leadership suggests in terms of direction for the party? >> it's going to be something to watch in the house. house republicans on immigration reform, it's unclear what the path forward is there. and that has a lot to do with you know being primaried on the right. that is where their concern is and they don't necessarily have the appetite when they go back to their districts and hear on the grassroots level that you know people feel like these bills are going to be amnesty and that kind of talk is very com

republican national committee urged passengers with delayed flights to contact the white house, while eric cantor took to twitter with why is president obama unnecessarily delaying your flight? faa could cut other spending #obamaflightdelays. today, these are some of the same republican lawmakers who voted for the sequester, criticized faa administrator michael huerta. >> this empirical attitude on the part of the administration, and you're the most recent example of that imperialism, is disgusting. so, i hope you have some answers for us today, but the first question i want answered is, why didn't you tell us about it beforehand? >> we have been talking about reduction in available controller hours of 10% for months. >> but you didn't tell them which airports, which airlines. >> we told them they should expect significant impacts at major hub facilities. >> la te da, everyone knew that, that's what sequester is all about. >> la te da. game, set, match, congressman. everyone is assessing over the spending cuts to the faa, which is why you don't hear theme making a stink about education or medicar

is now attacking fellow republicans for being too weak on gun rights, including majority leader eric cantor. so no matter what the public wants, they can't give one iota or it would be political suicide just to david sirota's point. >> yeah. david is right. and the problem here for the president and for those who want a sane gun policy, in my view, is that we're in -- we're facing an off year election now, which is electorate tends to be more conservative. you've also got states like colorado, which are actually purple states. they can go either way. they went for obama this time again with a lot of hard work on his part. but part of the reason why he's making this tour around these red leaning states is to try to stiffen the spine of those who are sympathetic to the cause of background checks, which about 80% of the public now looks like are. a majority of republicans are. >> 90%. >> but the problem is that, yeah, the problem is that you've got a lot more energy on the paranoid side, the side that says, well, registration leads to -- >> confiscation. >> that still gets people off the sofa
