education and infrastructure and innovation and we need to have a fiscally responsible policy and as hal rogers said when effectively the appropriations process the republicans have been running and the ryan budget essentially melted down yesterday in the house of representatives. it melted down not only on the floor of the house of representatives, but it melted down in the committee and they withdrew two of their appropriation bills and hal rogers observed that the numbers were unrealistic and unworkable and that they ought to abandon sequestration. i share that view. but until we get the majority party in the house of representatives to come to grips with pursuing reality and pursuing compromise and working together, it is very difficult. but the president's focused on jobs. we're focused on jobs. we had a make it in america press conference this morning with eight new bills that we've added making over 40 bills that we believe could have bipartisan support, designed at growing manufacturing, growing jobs in america, and growing exports so that our economy will do better. so that's what we'r

republican from kentucky hal rogers saying that. majority whip denied the claim republican s didn't have the vote. saying we don't have enough time. the bill could crash and burn again in the senate. republicans are expected to mount a filibuster. aides in both parties privately say they do not expect it will get the 60 votes need to advance but we'll see how many republicans are there. this one funds it at levels higher than sequestration. they say it doesn't cut spending levels far enough. relies on a budget deal hammered out two years ago and doesn't account for the sequestered cut. we made this point before. hill republicans aren't on the same page on anything right now. whether it's the effort to defund health care or how deep budget cuts should be. it's a reality democrats who have their own problems can't get enough of. >> they're all over the lot. some people want to shut down the government for this reason. some people want to shut down the government for that reason. some people don't think they should shut the government

and gop congressman hal rogers said the kuester must be brought to an end.there is some slight breakthroughs here. >> true. and by the way, hal rogers, who has been saying important things about this is the chief republican on the appropriations committee. so the fact that the guy who is actually trying to take their budget and squeeze it into these appropriations bills is saying it doesn't work. i think that's a very significant thing. look, what you hear there is the president stating really a set of facts that have been established independently. just last week, the congressional budget office -- and they're nonpartisan. they really do shoot right down the middle. they said if the sequester were to be ended by the third quarter of next year, we would add another 900,000 jobs. they also said if you didn't replace wit back-loaded spending cuts and tax increases of the type the president has put forth, that would be problematic for the deficit in the outer years. but right now near term, to help boost those jobs that you've seen be created, that's the kind o

hal rogers of kentucky complained on a letter on his website, "discretionary cuts must be brought to an end." with house republicans unable to pass a seeming appropriations bill on their own suddenly looked like an open for the senate to broker a compromise and pass its own bipartisan bill and that, in turn, would put pressure on house republicans to let that bill come to the floor for a vote and pass mostly with democratic votes. such an arrangement would allow congress to avoid a debt limit showdown and maybe shut off the sequester. that all came crashing down on thursday when senate republicans filibustered their appropriations bill on a 54-34 vote with only one republican, susan collins of maine joining with the democrats. the congressional republican crackup is on hold for you and the october 1st government shut down is still looming. we want to bring in white house correspondent at buzzfeed.com. malia political reporter for "washington post." crystal ball, former co-host on "the cycle." and chris wilson and contributor to the conservative online forum ricochet.com. so, thanks,

unfortunately, it seems, the only scheduling problem involves comments made earlier by hal rogers, quotects for passing the bill in september are bleak at best, given the vote count on passage that was apparent this afternoon. like the farm bill in june, the speaker didn't have the republican votes to pass a republican bill. it's led many to conclude that if speaker boehner were the subject of performance-related pay, he would not be receiving a salary. but mr. boehner says, don't believe your lying eyes. >> i'm not the least bit concerned about what some might want to describe as perception. i'm sure the august recess will have our members in a better mood when they come back. >>> joining us now is congressman steve israel of new york, who will head house democrats seats. >> good afternoon, martin. >> do you believe that when members of congress get an earful from still about jobs, immigration reform, gridlock, do you think that will put them, as you just heard speaker boehner say in a better mood? or do you think they'll end up with concussion? >> i hope they good et into a sensible mo

. >> thats is an amazing quote from hal rogers. what is going on is this, it's one of those things as i wrote this morning, i wish we could sit down every voting citizen of this country and explain to them what is happening here. once they saw this, they would see what a complete charade the republican party is, okay? so they pass these paul ryan budgets, as you know, as your viewers know starting in 2010. every year they pass a ryan budget. the ryan budget has the very broad categories of cuts to domestic programs that it says have to be made. it does not have dollar amounts, it's a abstraction, the ryan budget. then you get to the the appropriations budget. and it's up to them, the appropriating sub committee to make the cuts and decides on the dollar amount. once the abstract ryan budget gets down to the concrete level of actual dollars and cents the republicans do not have enough to support the budget ryan because republicans won't support cuts that deep. >> michael: it's amazing. it's like they don't even know what they're tal

my fellow kentuckian, hal rogers, who is the chairman of the appropriations committee, yesterday made it plain to everybody, this is all a hoax. he talked about sequestration and the impossibility to bring a transportation bill that scarcely has enough money to maintain what roads we have. and it imploded on the floor -- imploded on the floor when nobody would vote for it. while we are on recess please think about this. think about what sequestration is doing in the united states. i hope you read former senator dorgan's article in "the new york times" talking about the devastation on the indian reservations because the money we owe them by treaty which would be lost to sequestration. the people who are doing health research at the national institutes of health where they tell me in the human genome project they are very close to finding a cure for cancer, but now they have to stop it. i can promise you you do not turn research off and on like a faucet. think of the people who can't get their treatment because of sequestration. think of all the people who live in this area and work for

speaker, those are the words of hal rogers. not my words. his words. i know chairman rogers isn't the only member of his party fed up with he tea party faction and their extreme agenda. but as we prepare to go home to our districts over the month of august and hear their concerns about jobs and our economy and the pain of sequesters -- of sequester's senseless cuts, i have spoken to hundreds of employees who work in our defensest tab learnment who are lamenting the fact that not -- lamenting the fact not only that they've been forced to take off one day a week for no pay and they can't even volunteer to work, who are lamenting the fact that those at the point of the spear in afghanistan, in other troubled parts of the world, they cannot take off friday. that we the support give them from here in this country and indeed around the world, the civilian work force, in d.o.d., department of defense, all the time. not just four days a week. as we prepare to go home to our districts over the month of august as i said and hear their concerns and the pain of th

my fellow kentuckian, hal rogers, who is the chairman of the appropriations committee, yesterday made it plain to everybody, this is a

it is not hal rogers or patty murray's fault that we cannot get appropriation bills passed. the problem is that there is a huge difference in judgment about what is achievable on the part of the budget committee. that same judgment produces a different result in the appropriations and ways and means committee. i think that is a fundamental flaw which has to be dealt with. i also think that process alone is not the problem. my friend archie the cockroach said once -- he said, what matters is not the system that you have. what matters is what you do with whatever system you happen to have. and i can tell you, if tommy thompson and i were running these committees today, i know what we would do, because i know what we did in the good old days back in madison. in madison in those days, we would fight like hell from 9:00 until 5:00. when we adjourned, we would go to the bar. the democrats would sit at one table and the republicans would sit at one table, and the reporters would sit at the bar, with their typewriters, and they would type their stories. they would come to our tables

hal rogers hit the nail on the head yesterday when he said and i quote, sequestration and it's unrelate particular and ill-conceived discretionary cuts must be brought to an end, unquote. american workers continue to face hurdles in providing for their families and i'm gravely concerned about the effects of sequestration on my home state of georgia. last month, furloughs began for ins air force base and others across georgia. this just won't affect the hard-working people at bases, but have an effect on the local economies. the furloughs which began last week will take $50 million out of the economy around the robbins air force base alone. multiply that with the economic catastrophe across military bases across georgia and the country. you begin to understand the effects of sequestration on small businesses and on the economy. but instead of working together to come to a bipartisan solution to the sequestration fiasco, this congress is continuing an agenda to make life worse for american families. i urge all of my colleagues to support this commonsense amendment to promote job creation.

so said hal rogers, republican, kentucky chairman of the appropriations committee. not my words, his words. i know chairman rogers is not only member of his party who is fed up at the tea party faction and their extreme agenda. home, topared to go our districts, and hear their concerns about jobs and our economy and the pain of cuts, ir's senseless have spoken to hundreds of employees who work in our defense establishment who will not only be forced to take off andday a week for no pay -- they cannot even volunteer to work -- who are lamenting the fact that those at the point of the spear in afghanistan, another troubled parts of the world, they cannot take off friday. they need the support that we give them from here in this country and indeed around the world from the civilian all the time,dod not just four days a week. as we prepare to go home to our districts over the month of august and hear their concerns and the pain of the sequester senseless cuts, i hope we can turn the page of the july work period and return in a different spirit. september need not be july
