there's talk of him invehicokin this traditional haster rule.ny haster when he was house speaker never brought a bill before the house floor unless he knew he had a majority of the gop voting for that bill. it is said that maybe john boehner will be willing to do -- to do that where he wouldn't have that majority of the gop in order to get a clean resolution to the senate. are you encouraged? do you think that's possible? >> first of all, i think we're in a different time right now than we were when haster was speaker of the house. i'll also tell you that, yes, i am encouraged by that because i think the debt limit does need to be increased and we need to meet our constitutional obligations to pay our bills. on the other side of the coin i will tell you that the speaker said that if we negotiate down this $986 billion level on the continuing resolution that we would get a clean continuing resolution. that never happened. i think that's very, very, very unfortunate. we need to, you know, we need to get the government back operating. then we need

hope it goes away. >> that was john he was a republican consultant he was a top aide to the speaker hastern he was in office, mike viqueira you know him well and know how president obama is now looking to the tea party. does he think that he's got them on the run? >> reporter: i think that what the white house feels this way. but i want to pull one thing out of the the bill that illustrates the divide. down in kentucky in this deal, pork $2 billion worth they are talking about it tomorrow. it's in kentucky, who is in kentucky? mitch mcconnell. $2 billion worth for a damn in kentucky it's already being excoriated by those on the right. the tea party says it's business as usual, mitch macomb is up for reelection next year they as a challenge from the tea party as well and from the right. mitch month come's office is saying it wasn't our idea. they point to the house of rep test. the chairman of the approach raises committee he's from kentucky to. this is something you will hear about a lot. and on only illustrates the divide that our pal john was just talking about that has abouts laid bare

but he has to raise the haster rule. >> are you what we in the media would call is a dreamer. 11 when you were brought to the country. 23 now. that term dreamer, what does that mean to you? >> for me it means youth just like me who did come into the country and overstayed or came in without visas. we felt like an american on the inside and accepting the country as our own but a country not ready to accept us. >> are you more or less optimistic now that the congress of united states will do something big on immigration reform? >> unfortunately with the government shutdown across the united states, i'm sure every was a little it is appointed in the congress. and their ability to not be able to run government. we hope immigration reform is their opportunity to redeem themselves and show america they can still run the government. >> the initiative has been in place for about a year. what has that meant in your community? >> for me personally, it allowed me to apply and get accepted in to nursing school. it allowed me to get my driver's license, it allowed many youth like myself to

i think that if it were not for the haster excuse, right?this rule that's not really a rule in the house, we would be able to have a vote on this bill now. we have 185 democrats who have signed on to hr-15, to the immigration reform bill in the house that has a pathway to citizenship, that addresses the border security issues, et cetera, and i think that we can probably see 195 to 200 democrats on that bill. we now have 29 republicans in the house who have come out. that's over 218 votes. >> right. >> in the house. >> i want to play something for you that senator john mccain actually said about the politics of this issue this morning at a breakfast in chicago. take a listen. >> let's say we do pass it. it will not gain us a single republican voter, but what it will do for the republican party is it will allow us to compete for the hispanic vote. it will give us a playing field where we can argue for lower taxes, less regulation, smaller government, strong military, et cetera. but if we don't pass it, we will not compete for the hispanic vote

it's in, but so much for the haster rule. >> the vote was put up on the board. you see the results. i vote ed no on the bill. this means barack obama got 100% of what he wanted. his stance from the beginning is no negotiation. one of the senior administration officials a week ago said that they were willing to push the country into default. that's what the president did. he rolled the dice. he knew republicans would be the adults in the room to make sure the country didn't go into default. he was willing to default and we are at the result where we are tonight. i agree with the senators. we aren't waving the white flag on obama care. the fight continues because the american people have only gotten a taste of just how bad this bill will be. i want people to not give up hope . there ises a lot of fighters that are main inening co. we'll continue to fight until we see the will of the people prevail. >> i think the congresswoman is onto something here. people see sticker shock and the premiums skyrocket and as more people lose their jobs, see their hours reduced. this train wreck that t
