passing of the former house speaker, tom foley, for 30ed in washington years until he was defeated in the republican house sweep of 1994. many of us at the table covered tom foley during that time. what kind of leader was he, jackie? >> he wasn't the best speaker. but he was a great member and he was truly well respected, as you're seeing in the tributes to him tonight. we call a man of the house, a true institutionalist who put the house above party, really. he -- when he was speaker, he meet weekly with the republican leader, bob michael would alternate offices, one week in the speaker's office, one week in the republican leader's office. they had huge fights but they also got along. they didn't surprise each other. he was a man of his times. he was a liberal. landslidected on the of 1964 and kicked out on the republican landslide of 1994. he brought to the job this great society liberalism on domestic but the sort of centrist-to-conservative policyt on the foreign defense things like his mentor, scoop jackson. if i could say one thing that puts it in the report. was the agriculture committee chairman at one point and he dole, bipartisan, devised the farm bill, a of farm subs

time you call a vote, do you want to hurt obama or not? of course i do. every time you set up that question, whether it's on the floor of the house in washington or a town meetinggoing to be anti obama in that crowd. if you try to defend him or defend good manners, oh, you're defending him. you're a traitor. every time there's a question, yay or nay, they always want to vote nay on the right. that's what's changed. >> why do you think attention is paid to that one loud voice? >> the rest of the crowd goes with that voice. you've watched these tapes, there's usually somebody with a cell phone. somebody has the phone and they're watching this. how come you -- and inevitably the whole crowd starts roaring. john mccain has the history behind him. >> he was pretty clear of his talks. >> he stood up to them. >> and peter king. tougher for john mccain in arizona. but you have to physically be a profile now. stand up in the room against the angry voices. this country on the right is very angry. part of it is obama being where he's from, his background, his liberalism, his aloofness that drives the right crazy. >>> more of our conversation at 12:00 moon. the political w

panetta has a wealth of experience here in washington, not only serving as the defense secretary, the cia director earlier, the white house chief of staff, the budget director, a long-time house of representatives. mr. secretary, if anyone can come up with a solution to solve this crisis in washington, i suspect it's you. how would you fix this immediate crisis, the government shutdown? >> well, wolf, you know, i think the first thing is that everybody's going to have to kind of put politics aside for the moment and take the steps that are necessary to deal with this crisis. i think it's a two-step process. number one, the speaker has to allow the house to vote on both a clean cr as well as a lift in the debt ceiling and extend both of those through mid-december. and at the same time, i think they ought to convene a conference on the budget so that they can negotiate, both sides can negotiate on the issues that are important for them to focus on, on entitlement programs and discretionary spending, on tax reform, with the hope that they can come up with some kind of deal that could deal with both the deficit and the sequester problem. that is a way to try to put governme

house leadership for setting back negotiations about 24 hours and putting all of washington under intense pressure to strike a last-minute deal. >> we felt blindsided by the news by the house but this is isn't the first time. extremist republicans in the house are attempting to torpedo the senate's bipartisan progress with a bill that can't pass the senate, can't pass the senate and won't pass the senate. i'm very disappointed with john boehner who had once again tried to preserve his role at the expense of the country. >> the problem that we've got is that for speaker boehner, for example, him negotiating with me isn't necessarily good for the extreme faction in his caucus. it weakens them, so there have been repeated situations where we have agreements then he goes back and it turns out that he can't control his caucus, so the challenge here is can you deliver on agreements that are made? >> all right, now after failing to produce a plan of their own and stalling the senate's negotiations, here's what needs to happen today. if the senate finishes a deal and passes it the leadership will bring the senate bill to the floor for a vote and that will pass with democrat support. one aide says "it's all over.

house divided against itself cannot stand. the republican party at this particular times seems to be a house divided against itself. it is the right kind of leadership in washington to bring them together even when they disagree on things? >> i don't think there's any question that we are very divided at this point. that limits our ability to shape the government and a significant way. i don't think it's a case of simply of leadership or follow ship but a combination of both. coupled with what we have is a pretty healthy debate among the house republicans about the best passport and the best strategy. limiting the size of government, creating a tax reform. we need the ability to get their. charles: okay, sir. i appreciate your time and i know that it's been a very hectic day. red bull and coffee might be the best combination for you. okay, taking a look at the futures. this follows a 133 down day in points for the dow. washington stumbling and bumbling. things are so bad that the ratings agency fitch put the united states on aaa ratings watch what they call a ratings watch negative and that is where they are actually considering downgrading our credit. they say i

the white house is deferring all the final negotiating details to the senate majority leader harry reid of nevada. this deal passes the senate and the house, it will buy washington some time but not much. more budget talks are coming and the question is whether the seemingly endless cycle of budget crises after budget crises can be broken. leon panetta, the president's former defense secretary, said monday congressional republicans are a problem in all this but laid half the blame at president obama's debt saying he refuses to seriously negotiate new approaches to spending taxes, or entitlement programs like medicare. this fragile deal may survive and even if it does another budget stand wauf congress and all the economic uncertainty it brings is just a few months away. and even if mr. obama won more than he lost in this round, even a former cabinet secretary says he needs to develop new leadership skills to break this cycle of budget crisis in washington. norah and charlie? >> major, thank you. the compromise first took shape over the weekend at a meeting of senate democrats and republicans. amy klobucar was one of the democrats in that meeting. senator, good morning. >>

of washington. and wolf, first of all, this is an interesting situation. he is a republican and was covering the white house at the time in march of 2004 when he was the acting attorney general. this story is what a lot of folks talk about. he went to the hospital where that's where the attorney general ashcroft was. he was ill and comie refused to sign off on the domestic wiretapping program that was so controversial back then. there was a lot of pressure for ashcroft to sign and for comie to sign, as well. he said no, i'm not doing this and threatened to resign till he resolved the issue with president bush. now he says that the nsa and not the wiretapping but the spying is okay. that it's actually a reasonable thing to do. is he changing his tone here? >> not really because if you remember, i'm sure you do and a lot of viewers will remember, what he was really upset with and why he went to the hospital bed of then attorney general john ashcroft and said you can't authorize this is because others within the bush administration wanted to engage in surveilance and wiretaps without warrants, without court orders. he sai
