i think what we heard a few seconds ago from john boehner, the speaker of the house, and let's bring peter cook to talk about it. i think the statement of speaker boehner was not necessarily as supportive as one might have thought at a time of crisis. his statement, what he said, and where you think that leaves republicans. >> i think the president was looking for a bear hug from john boehner, and he certainly did not get it in the statement. some words of support but also some trepidation. he set a speech is not the same thing as a strategy. however, while the president gave a compelling call for action, there are many questions still, and one thing he points out is that the president, he said, framed it as a counterterrorism effort, and john boehner about there was something more necessary in response to isil, and it will be interesting to see how her publicans react green bay will be meeting behind closed doors to look at how to handle it, particularly authorizing the training of the syrian rebels. will this ultimately pass muster with house republicans? some questions about that.

delighted to welcome you all here today for this important address from the speaker of the house, john boehner. it's a distinct honor to introduce my friends. john boehner back to aei, as most of you know he is the 61st speaker of the house. when he was first elected in 1990, he had little idea what high school i -- his trajectory was going to lead to. he served as house minority leader, house majority leader, chairman of the house committee on education and work force, the chairman of the house republican conference and on and on. one leadership position after the other. up to the highest leadership position in the house. he's known not just as someone who holds leadership positions but who is authentically a good and courageous and fair leader. today he is here to discuss a five-point plan for the congress to reset america's economy. please join me in welcoming peaker john boehner. >> good afternoon, everyone. let me just say how happy i am to be back at aei. you know, i last spoke here shortly before i became speaker. and it's a job i love. looking back, a job i never really thought i'd have. after

it would require a congressional vote and, although he didn't get a commitment in the meeting, house speaker john boehner issued a statement saying he would support the president if he chose to deploy the military to help train and play an advisory role. now, senior diplomat officials say time is of the essence. they believe right now they can get a buy-in from other counties -- countries in the region to help. they've been working toward that. also in that meeting, the president did not ask leaders to vote to authorize military action. he doesn't think he needs that. and sources say he didn't ask for additional funding for the isis operation either. he did outline the speech he's going to deliver tomorrow night to the american people and the scheduling in primetime does raise the stakes. it points to both the seriousness of the threat and awareness of the white house that it's making people increasingly nervous. brian? >> chris jansing at the white house tonight. we'll see you back there tomorrow night. our moderator of "meet the press" and political director chuck todd with us here in new york with mor

house speaker john boehner says. a speech is not the same thing as a strategy. he says, the president presented a compelling case. but he says. questions remain on how mister obama intends to act. house minority leader nancy pelosi mirrored what president obama talked about. she says, the u-s will lead a comprehensive counter- terrorism strategy, to dismantle isis threat. coming up. a teenager hurt when a chimney fell on top of him. during the napa quake is now home. >> i remember crawling out and being hit in multiple places. >>pam moore his new outlook on life. plus -- the blue angels soon returning to bay area skies. and a car jumps the curb and hits a group of students. next. >>jacqueline bennett it was significantly warmer out there today going up 15 degrees in many places. will it stay warm tomorrow? that answer coming up bulldog: quarterback takes the snap... oh, he fakes a handoff and he's making a run...

in a statement, house speaker john boehner said "while the president presented a compelling case for action, many questions remain about the way in which the president intends to act." former vice president chaney says president obama is leaving the country more vulnerable to attack. >> there is a connection between a disengaged president and some very volatile situations abroad. >> reporter: the white house wants congress to sign off on the arming of syrian rebels before it leaves later this month. reena and dan. >> tahman bradley live in washington. thank you for that. >>> the president's address came hours before today's anniversary of the september 11th terror attacks. >> today marking 13 years since the world as america knew it changed forever and tonight, the annual tribute in lights will pierce the sky over todowntown manhattan. marci gonzalez joins us live. marci. >> reporter: hi, dan and reena. the new york city police commissioner says the terror threat is more significant than in recent years but adds there is no specific threat on this somber anniversary.

a third of the senate is up for reelection, it's perhaps never more so. largely, we can say the reaction is positive. some republican, even the speaker of the house, john boehner a republican went further, wants the president to go further, calling for an all out effort to defeat the islamic state group. we're wait to go speak with john boehner to figure out what that means, whether or not he wants ground troops to be inserted. there are members there are supportive and yet find way to say criticize aspects of what the president wants to do. two of them are john mccain, a noted critic of the president on foreign policy and bernie sanders, the socialist from vermont. he thinks the president has the authority to go ahead with this and yet is still wary of the situation, thinking that ground troops may ultimately be required. let's listen to both. >> we have 1,000 boots on the ground right now, he's going to send another 4035, they're in a combat situation. to say they're not is obviously untrue. >> people will become angry. maybe we send troops into combat and then you have a perpetual war decade after decade. >> you heard the president last night saying he want

a new aumf. house speaker john boehner wants to wait longer until a new congress is installed in january. >> the reticence from both ends of pennsylvania a may represent more than fear going on the record for war before the midterm elections. recall that the pentagon has not given names to east ter syriaorish rack operations, that's unusual. and may reflect the president's own ambivalence over a war he does not want to fight. >> this week's decision by the president to begin attacking isis in syria has taken the new war on terror to another level politically. tonight chief washington correspondent james rosen looks at the potential ramifications. >> if in fact it blows up and the wrong people gain control, it's going to have impact on the entire region causing potentially regional wars. >> reporter: one of many statements vice president biden made about syria during the 2012 campaign and now that that region is indeed embroiled in war, strategists differ on how the ongoing military action may affect the 2016 -- >> if biden runs in 2016, yeah, he's got to carry the obama record with him. and that

john mccain. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, andrea. i think we can add into our rolling informal whip count of members of congress who say there ought to be a vote. house speaker john boehner issued a statement after president obama's speech tonight. i will not read the whole thing. he says a speech is not the same thing as a strategy. while the president presented a compelling case for action, many question the way the president intends to act. the president views isil as a counterterrorism campaign, rather than what it is, an all-out effort to destroy an enemy and the principles for which we stand. an all-out effort. i'm not sure what the difference is between an all-out effort and a counterterrorism campaign. i don't know why everybody is shy about saying war and i don't know why we think about air strikes as not combat, but i feel like we're through the looking glass right now in terms of the language that we're using here. >> well, i think if mr. boehner is serious, then he's the speaker of a house, call a vote. i think john mccain should go to the floor of the senate tomorrow, call a vote. i think mccain said yes, i think there should be a vote. i don't know why the

so that a little bit unfair to john boehner. >> we will see if there is a better argument after the midtermon. let's get both of your reactions to this. despite this between the generals and the president, are there going to be what's on the ground? >> i suspect there will be. but struggles me more specifically today because you basically have the joint chiefs of staff and effective rebellion against the president's own stated words and policies. >> i'm sorry, but i grew up in the military that says that you obey orders and you don't debate it. >> well, i think that there is a lack of confidence from the commander-in-chief, yesterday was the chairman of the joint chiefs and today it was ray or tierno, the general in charge of the army and the chief of staff. we have others weighing in as well. and it's possible that it's coming. this is a harebrained scheme that we have going in the war against isis. and it's a serious thing. >> chris, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. tom: i appreciate both of you coming on tonight. that's it for us tonight. catch my radio show weekdays. and caputo

[ buzzer ] >> your general impression of the republican party. >> more for the rich. rich, greedy. >> rich and greedy. >> i think we need a new party. republicans and democrats how long has that been going on for. >> quite some time. >> it's getting boring. >> he has some ideas, i won't have them in my house. >> bill o'reilly, on a scale of 1 to 10. >> is he like a 15. bill o'reilly from newport? >>

a crisis. and boehner's answer is to do absolutely nothing. feel like you're getting your money's worth yet? johnoehner needs a civics lesson from across the pond. the british parliament had a heated debate. debate on whether to engage in air strikes against isis. >> left unchecked we will face a terrorist caliphate on the shores of the mediterranean and bordering a nato member with a declared and proven determination to attack our country and our people. this is not the stuff of fantasy. it is happening in front of us. and we need to face up to it. >> two questions, he's now put to himself, how long will this war last and when will mission creep start? >> let me answer that very directly. this is going to be a mission that will take not just months but years. >> isis indeed are made up of murderous psy murderous psychopaths. that's not the issue. we know that. the question is will what the government is proposing be effective? iraq and afghanistan, libya, none are success stories. are we going to embark on action that's going to last for years? >> i will come on to why this is different to the d

take a look at the monkey, the only thing we've seen from congress is john boehner putting out a videowhere he introduces the monkey on the table when people come into his office. now, basically, they are missing in action, members of both houses. we've had a serious crisis, why haven't they come back? >> the reason they haven't come back, exactly what we're saying. there are certain things they don't want to debate before the midterm lec. the problem is we don't have time to wait until after the midterm election. the problem is people in office are in office to make actions and decisions. people want leadership that's going to be driven by a sense of passion and pragmatism and not polsters. these issues people waiting on for years to be addressed have to be addressed and we can't simply wait for an election cycle. >> being so passive about it. everybody is mad at congress. everybody who says what's going on in washington is horrible, dysfunctional. what do we do? somehow there has to be some way to move people. they were elected for a reason. they are supposed to be doing the business

a terrorist threat that is real and imminent. >> thank you. >> all right. and there you have it. house speaker john boehner about the president's comments. in just a couple of minutes there, he took some questions, and he was very detailed in his responses x we're going to go around the horn here real quickly. just a couple of highlights, and we're going the kind of retro, if we can, because he just said, quote, i would never tell the enemy what i would or would not do in terms of fighting isis. the president made that decision. eric? >> that's kind of what i said a couple of minutes ago. we telegraphed what we were going to do in iraq, and that's when al-qaeda, which became isis, started to really grow. i don't agree with a lot of things john boehner had to say, but i think he's right. it's got to go to congress because we, the american people need to know what exactly they know about the fsa, the free syrian army. they may trust them, i certainly don't trust them. if they said we'll give you $500 million, but let's talk about helping out the kurds and the peshmerga who are really in danger and who are re
