hayes. they went to the white house. she went only once, but she had not made that debut. she couldn't participate in the social activities. she was there and president hayes said it was wonderful to have the herons there. and in the taft family lor, she was supposed to have said, you know, i'm going to come back. it's not clear that's really what she said. but like many people, she said i want to marry a man who may become president. >> she came from a political family. >> yes. her phatever was the friend of benjamin harrison and had been involved in ohio politics on her mother's side. there had been a congressman in her background. she was quite the intellectual? she was reading darwin and goethe and other things in school. she had the ability to play the piano which she studied quite seriously. there were recordings, i wish, but doesn't seem to be. so she had a salon in cincinnati, which was very culturally rich city in those days as it is -- i'm not playing -- it is now, but it's sort of -- they have seven hills so they thought of themselves a as sort of the rome of the

white house at age 16? in cincinnati was rutherford b. hayes and lucy hayes and they went to the white house. e went only once but had not yet made her debut and could not yet participate in social activity, but she was there. president hayes said it was wonderful to have them there. , shee past family lore was supposed to have said, i will come back. that is really what she said, but like many people, i want to marry a man who may become president. >> she came from a political family. >> yes. her father was a friend of benjamin, and involved in politics on her mother's side. she was quite the intellectual. she was reading darwin and had the ability to play the piano, which she studied seriously thay what she said, but like many people, i want to marry a man who may become president. >> she came from a political family. >> yes. her father was a friend of benjamin, and involved in politics on her mother's side. she was quite the intellectual. she was reading darwin and had the ability to play the piano, which she studied seriously. i wish there were recordings, and there does not seem to be. th

martha: boy, i don't think those two can expect a invitation to the white house anytime soon. steve hayeswriter for "the weekly standard" and fox news contributor. steve, welcome. i can't remember a time when two secretaries of defense with a sitting president who just made a decision a couple weeks ago were this strong and outspoken against him. >> no, this is rather extraordinary. what is interesting to watch particularly in those comments and comments from former deputy cia director mike more rel, they're criticizing the way the president handled syria looking backwards, but they're also skeptical, deeply skeptical the way he is handling going forwards with this deal with russia and bashar assad. martha: you look at morrell's comments he says that the president has been played by syria. that phrase puts to my mind the interview last night and listening to bashar assad. let's play this sound bite from him last night. >> have you spoken to president obama? >> never. >> have you ever spoken to him? >> never. >> are you interested in speaking to our president? >> that depends on the conten

hayes host of msnbc "all in." joining us from washington political director and chief white house correspondent chuck todd. chuck, it was ugly in the house now it's ugly in the senate. what can we make of this gulf, if we can call it euphemistically between the house and caucus. >> there's a couple of ways to look at it. it's possible this is john boehner's way out. listen to the language he used this morning. listen to the language yesterday, ted griffin, conservative republican in the house, what he said to ted cruz. they are all saying, okay, we're going to give it the college try of what you want, pass this resolution with the attachment that says we're not going to fund the health care law and you in the senate pick up the mantle and fight. >> if you fail, don't get mad at us when we say we did everything we could, the politics of this, the sign said it was a dead-end. i equate this, there's a street sign that says the road says there's a dead-end. you can visually see there's a brick wall at the end of the street. yet john boehner has no choice but to say, okay, i'll get in the car, i'll turn it, i'l

white house. martha: so if nobody budges by monday night, how could it end? steve hayes senior we are for the weekly -- writer for the weekly standard. very tough language being thrown around, tom harkin saying that the gop are anarchists, essentially, had nancy pelosi the other day calling them legislative arsonists and dan pfeiffer basically said the gop members have bombs strapped to their chests, and we're simply not going to negotiate with folks like that. where's this going, steve? >> well, can i just make a side point here? can you imagine if a republican spokesman for the president of the united states had compared democrats to suicide bombers? what the outrage would be? martha: you're right. >> not only among democrats, but among the mainstream media? dan pfeiffer's comments are being met with a collective shrug of the shoulders. martha: like it's no big deal. >> i find it absolutely extraordinary. martha: you're very right about that that. and it feels like there's almost nothing that can't be said in some venues that will be confronted with a are you kidding m

hayes -- haste. >> i wonder if there is any white house reaction to ted cruz's hours of arguing against obamacare overnight, and now the process on the c.r. looks like it's going back to the house, if there are any plans for the president to talk with leadership to ensure that a deal can be reached by monday? >> as i indicated earlier in the week, the president will, i'm sure, be discussing it these budget issues with the leadership. i don't have a specific meeting to preview for you. as you know he's held discussions with speaker boehner as well as others in the past about this, and about our position, his position on these issues. one, that congress has to act to ensure that we don't -- they don't shut down the government. that it would be irresponsible o not fund the essential functions of the government at an ideological peak. that we can continue to negotiate over a broader budget deal in a responsible way, and to do that we need to make sure a continuing resolution is passed that allows the government to stay open and for the president to continue to show in his presentations to congress, that he is

hayes not made the public case. at the roast garden on saturday he started that. we'll see the days ahead. >> a lot of information coming out of this news conference that popped up outside the whiteouse. glad you were there to help deliver some of the breaking news this hour in "studio b." thank you very much. >>> a couple of things come to mind. if our mission is going to widen out beyond just punishing the assad regime and we're going to as senator graham put it, upgrade the opposition, how might we strike differently than what the plans are as a limited on the page? how does the strategy change? 'll talk with the general about that. and international response now. as you can imagine, unfolding as the world now gets a peek inside of what has been going on inside the white house. a live report from jerusalem. ♪ ho ho ho [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. when managing your weight, bigger is always better. ♪ ho ho ho ♪ green giant yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it ri
