specifically for speaker john boehner and the house majority whip kevin mccarthy of california. informed from a source that speaker boehner informed the members on the conference call that he had spoken to president obama a little bit before that press conference and actually said that they had agreed to a framework. i have before me the power point presentation that john boehner's currently giving to his members. and the titles are very much, if you would -- as you expect, very pro-republican. the first one saying two-step approach to hold president obama accountable. emerging framework has three main features. implements spending caps, advances the caves balanced budget amendment, framework accomplishes this without tax hikes, which would destroy jobs while preventing a job-killing national default. so that's how boehner is selling it right now as we speak to the house republican congress. a job-killing national default saying, look, obviously, we don't like everything in this, but we hold the president accountable. we get more cuts than we -- we get all the cuts we wanted and

we're going it listen to john boehner again. mohammed. >> -- signed into law to solve this debt crisis and help get the american people back to work. >> there we are, michelle. that was speaker john boehner saying he's getting the debt crisis behind him and wants to get on with creating jobs, and getting the economy going again. but is this deal going to make any difference to the economy? >> well, this deal isn't going to put the debt crisis behind us on some level. what they're doing is punting. we're going to have a super congress come in. we're going to debate this, and they'll be talking, and nobody's still dealing with things like entitlements. as we've heard, tax increases will be on the table going forward. the idea that this has solved anything in the big picture is completely just bizarrely optimistic. >> indeed. strange, historical revisionism from some member. for mow, michelle cottle, thank you very much. >>> we'll be right back. an accident doesn't have to slow you down. with better car replacement, available only

i assume you just got off the conference call with john boehner. what did he say? ly, he outlined what was in this plan and what was in this agreement. very similar to what we had passed in the house with the boehner plan with some different tweaks. and, you know, overall, it is something that i voted for before and, obviously, i'll be supporting this time. >> did you get a sense on that call that there was any nervousness? do you think there will be difficulty within the republican party getting the votes that's needed to pass this in the house? >> no, i don't. again, i think it's similar enough to what we just passed. therefore, you know, by that nature, we shouldn't have any problem passing this. and i also think this time you'll have bipartisan support. so that's -- which is really what we want here. this is, again, we can be real partisan and we can look to demonize one another. we've done enough of that. quite frankly one of the things i've been disgusted by since i've been in office. we have to get past this. this debt problem we have, it's not democrat or re

let's pause and listen as john boehner walks by. >> speaker boehner, are you confident you have the votes tonight? >> all right. you saw kate balduan, our congressional correspondent, asking the question, gave a little smile, gave a little nod. he seemed confident that he has the votes, even though he didn't really say anything, gloria, you could see the body language. >> he's got at walking by the cameras and kind of nodding. he's been around the block a while. >> he knows what he's doing on this one. you know who is one of the -- if this passes the house tonight, the senate tomorrow, mitch mcconnell, the republican leader in the senate, sort of an unsung hero in the united states avoiding going into default potentially. >> to some a hero to. some not so much. >> those who didn't want the united states to go into default, those who wanted the debt ceiling raises. >> but also conservatives got very angry at senator mcconnell because his original plan came up with kind of a gimmick to get around voting on the debt ceiling the second time. >> the final plan has a little gimmick, too. >> a v

so the question now becomes, chris, can john boehner get to that 120, 130 number? the words he's using on this conference call are really trying to make the point of, look, we don't want a job-killing default. he's trying to bring in this idea that they have won. this is going to make the changes they came to washington to pursue. it's going to be a real tough sell job. and no one knows how it's going to turn out. now as far as timing, we know that both the senate democrats and senate republicans are going to meet tomorrow. it's presumably going to get out of the senate. chuck todd made an excellent point. the more republican senators that support this makes it easier on john boehner to sell to his conference. it if it comes out with 75, 80, over 40 republicans or 45 republicans or whatnot it makes it easier for boehner to say, look, the entire team over there is going forward with this. get on board. you know, don't let us own this type of default which would be very, very politically damaging. and, quite frankly, chris, the president was thanking the american peo

so, listen, before we get to john boehner, what would reagan have done? he had a recession, and he had high unemployment, and what would he have done in this situation? >> well, it is not a matter of guessing. what he did in an identical circumstance in the summer of 1982, we just had come out of the devastating recession, as bad as this one, and unemployment still over 10%, and the recovery was not even visible, and we had a massive hemorrhaging deficit, and we went to him, and we said without major revenue increases, along with the spending cuts, we can't take a chunk out of this deficit, and we can't get a deal on capitol hill, and so reluctantly he went along and signed the biggest tax increase in history, and which would be $150 billion a year in today's dollars. now, the thing is that ronald reagan was as much against taxes as anybody. we all know that. >> what was the outcome of that? >> well, the outcome was that the next year the economy recovered and we created 3 million jobs in 1983 and 11 million over the next three years and the point is that

and an hour after the vote, speaker john boehner was also notified. take a look at this.gresswoman gabrielle giffords, six months ago when she was shot in the head at point blank range and there were questions if she would survive and questions if she would ever recover to the point to return here at the house of representatives and look at smiling and hugging with her colleagues, and gloria borger a big vote, but a personal moment. >> i kept thinking after a rancorous few weeks and it was so great to celebrate something the triumph of the spirit of gabrielle giffords and seeing the members standing there to applaud their friend and welcoming her back. it was just a wonderful, wonderful moment. >> and to that point, david gergen, you know, the d eas hav been arguing with the rs and to see the entire house as this dramatic vote was finishing up, it was a giant surprise to most of them and pretty remarkable. >> oh, gabrielle giffords provided the most heartwarming moment we have had in months in washington and lifted our spirits just when we needed it and reminded us that d

he looked a little bit weak in the knees -- john boehner did win a victory. he looked a little bit weak and it needs when he had to pull -- back week in the knees when he had to pull back before his caucus. >> how is harry reid look at this? >> let me disagree with my colleague for a minute. i think john boehner was diminished by this. he looks like he was being led by his caucus. he and a grand bargain, $800 billion -- he had at the grand bargain, $800 billion, but he could not sell that to his caucus. he would have looked like a statesman if yet been able to. >> congress is always going to look back at a situation like this. the issue is, going forward to the election, whether the two parties will revert to demagoguery. will the republicans just say democrats want to raise taxes, and the democrats say that republicans want to throw granny under the bus? or will something more positive -- for instance, will one party impose tax reform -- i hope it is obama, he has an opening -- but will they put forward a positive vision or just negatively demagogue? >> i th

apparently came along and what will my point john boehner is kidding and said you don't yeah my misreading is i think boehner got taken by surprise for sure but which means the president yeah yeah sure . and you know what it is a little bit crazy i guess sort of sympathize with you know who would do that you know it is a little crazy to say well we'll take the entire economy if we don't get our policy or oh i'm always moment yeah in the movie but you know on the other hand you know there's no reason why they couldn't of go with the debt ceiling increase you know in that compromise that they were going out there in the lame duck session you know i actually there was a lot of stuff on the table and that the and the and it was lame duck session still had he still had democrats and he the vice president reportedly called republicans in the house terrorists and you brought this up today at the white house here's a clip of that. i guess an artist in a different missing universe. why these terrorists inappropriate but obviously there's not i mean. i just dig. you know it's so it's up to the what.

i think they overestimated john boehner's leadership. i think they thought they had more how far a counterparty that john boehner would be able to deal with them. as it rns out they were able to deal withthem the problem was he was the able to deal with his own caucus. if they had appreciated how deadly serious the tea party people were pushing this alter to the extreme and risking the full faith and credit of the united states for the first time in history, i think the president would have pushed for something he did not push for during the negotiations of the lame do you recollect session, extending the bush tax cuts he should have been negotiating for a clean debt ceiling then. there are some people in the whitehouse saying we tried to get that. i think if they really had understood, a, how boehner would prove to be with this caucus and b how serious how the tea party was, he could have gotten that deal. >> charlie: would he be weaker with his own party if he didn't have eric kantor there. >> if you think back to the reality, thinking

john boehner brought a different style of management to the speakership. nancy pelosi -- her moment of truth was the health care bill. she leaned and muscled and pushed and persuaded. a majority of democrats, overwhelming, past the health care bill three different times. john vander promised not to be that kind of a speaker. but when a speaker loses a vote and the perception of power is power in washington, it is a weakened speakership. >> charlie cook said many house and senate members in the 2012, 2014, 2016 are going to lose their seats because congress has become a laughingstock over this. >> to pick up on what marks -- what mark said, john boehner -- the blandishments that worked in the past do not work anymore. you cannot do earmarks. what they worry about, some of these younger members, is a primary on their way. they are happy to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory because for them, it is a personal victory. >> who is in trouble? orrin hatch maybe? >> absolutely. >> that is the hornets' nest of john boehner's existence. freshman of south carolin

we know the speaker, john boehner, was on a conference call with his republican caucus. s passed along excerpts of boehner's comments to his colleagues. really enlightening. very interesting. on the call he says he understands this deal is not ideal. and he also says that he apologizes for that, but he also says in his remarks that he realized that this is pretty much the framework that we have been operating with. i'm going to read you one remark that he made because you can tell that he's really trying to make the case to his members why it is not a deal they really need to get on board with this. at least he's trying to make that case to them. he says, in part, "there is a framework in place that would cut spending by a larger amount than the debt limit and raise spending. it would do so without any job killing tax hikes and it would also guarantee the american people the vote they have been denied in both chambers on a balanced budget amendment while i create -- while creating, i think, some new incentives for past opoen innocents of balanced budget amendments to sup

we will check in right after the break. >>> of course, we are still waiting for house speaker, john boehnerto come out and make comments. we heard from senator harry reid a few moments ago, and we will see what boehner has to say. in seven minutes we expect to see him. >>> we are covering all angles of the debt deal today. last week u.s. stocks did not react well to all the uncertainty, if you recall. they delivered the worst weekly performance in over a year. alis alis alison joins us now. >> at the hope, we had a strong open. that's thanks to the pending debt deal. we saw the dow drop 120 points, and then it pulled back because of a weaker than expected manufacturing news. investors are happy about the pending debt deal, but the other signs show weakness in the overall economy and that is what is weighing on the markets today. >> do you think investors are looking at this as a little too little too late. >> any gains we see related to a debt deal could be short lived. you know, this really has really -- really hurt confidence overall because it has taken so long for, you know, lawmakers t

i care about john boehner. i think he is a good person.inted that he has painted himself into this corner that the house of representatives is being run by this tea party right wing, very conservative who are going around saying they want us to default on our debt. >> reporter: and the democrats are keeping up the pressure. >> all right. we'll get on the phone. okay? we're going to get on the phone. >> we're fighting mad, and we're fighting all the way for the american people. >> see if boehner gets the numbers right. >> i got to talk to you. >> reporter: senator schumer will talk to harry reid, his majority leader, 22 times before the day is out. >> harry wants to talk to me before lunch. >> reporter: including three so-called emergency meetings. ♪ yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ after the republican meeting the speaker's number two, majority leader eric cantor, insists the caucus is united and strong. >> we just had a very good conference. the leaders are rallying around the speaker's plan. >> reporter: he has to get other >> we are doing well. fresh

they took john boehner hostage.ey forced him to do a plan that was unrealistic politically, and then the grown-ups in the senate, republican senator mitch mcconnell and senator harry reid, had to kind of take over and come up with a compromise with the president and force it on the house. i think the tea party has shown that they cannot govern. that their goal is not growth in america. that they are just -- they've gone to this ideological place that has actually become destructive. >> dick armey, let me put it to you about the tea party. tea party have clearly had a good couple of weeks. but there's a reality check, isn't it there? when you get to government, you can't just pretend you're not affiliated with a political party. they are afill yit yaited whether they like it or not, with the republicans, the gop. >> well, let me just say, first of all, again make the point, without exception or very few exceptions like bernie sanders, either you are a republican or you are a democrat if you hold office in washington.

kate bolduan is getting details on what the house speaker, john boehner, just briefed the republican caucus. he had some talking points on how good this deal is for the republicans, kate. >> actually, i just dropped the paper so let me grab it real quick, wolf. this is actually a power point presentation that speaker boehner was going through with members on this conference call and it's really ticking off exactly what this deal is and also trying to make the case why they need to support it. what i'm seeing in the notes that i'm reading here in this power point presentation and from the excerpts i'm reading from speaker boehner's remarks, he's really trying to make the case this is not far off from the deal they've been working on themselves that they eventually agreed to with a little bit of an added sweetener, if you will, to get more conservatives on in the end. what i'm just seeing briefly the top line of this deal says that it cuts up-front spending at $917 billion over ten years. that's just up front. that there are multi-step process then for the president to request to raise

. >> and we're waiting to hear from the speaker of the house, john boehner, he'll be speaking on the floor as we're told just before the vote. you'll see it and hear it live. the vote will happen here. it could be close. we'll see what happens when the house of representatives finally votes on raising the nation's debt ceiling. stand by for that. meanwhile, lots of losers in the debt debacle. did anyone really come out on top? >> has the taerp won? >> you know, i think there was a victory for the tea party and there was a victory more importantly for the american people. >> a closer look at the tea party, calling the shots and changing the debate and it may be the most colorful criticism of the debt ceiling compromise. congressman emanuel cleaver standing by to explain. hey ! chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ? chocolate ! chocolate it is ! yeah, but i'm new, too. umm... he's new... er... than you. even kids know it's wrong to treat new friends better than old friends. at ally bank, we treat all our customers fairly, with no teaser rates and no minimum deposit to open. it's just the r

howard, how happy is john boehner tonight? >> oh, i don't think he can be happy at all, because any number of polls show that the american people don't think that the budget deal, the debt ceiling deal, was helpful. in its specifics or in general with the economy. and i think there's widespread feeling in the country and around the world that the spectacle we just went through is a contributor to what we're seeing now on wall street. the chinese news agency -- i think the china news agency said something about mad cap follies of brinksmanship, which is a pretty good headline. and the ambassador of the european country that i talked to the other day just shook his head and said he couldn't believe that this great country was behaving the way it was. so that's where we are in this country and in the world right now. >> robert, can the president and the democrats use this stock market as a teachable moment about economic cause and effect? >> well, it's too risky, i think, lawrence, to use one day's stock market fall to center a c

>> john boehner, of course. president obama has shown his unwillingness to lead.ad the congress that came forward. i think senator mcconnell, senator reed, john boehner are real winners. >> i would say overall, i don't think any of them won. a lot have taken a hit public opinionwise. the focus is jobs. that's what we should be talking about. >> which they haven't focused on. >> hopefully, we will. >> guys, thank you so much. appreciate it as always. >>> house democratic caucus members will meet behind closed doors with vice president joe biden at noon eastern. about 40 minutes from now, we can expect to hear from them and the vice president at 1:00 p.m. eastern. we will cover it right here live on msnbc. >>> has this flip-flop landed him in hot water? >> face to face with a black bear, what would you do? would you even know what to do? one woman fought back. she is going to join me live to tell us her harrowing tale. that's next. you name it. i've tried it. but nothing's helped me beat my back pain. then i tried this. it's salonpas. this is the relief i've been lo

that man very happy, john bay they ar boehner.hen we come being about a, we'll watch the chavez workout. i love that my daughter's part fish. but when she got asthma, all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information. everyone works as a team. and i only need to talk to one person about her care. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. >>> the tentative deal on the deficit will give president obama the chance to increase the debt limit, something he's done three times since taking office. it's a move just about every president who has had the chance to do it has done during his time in office. if you want to sound smart today, tell your friends since the first federal debt limit was set in 1939, harry s. truman the only u.s. president not to raise the debt ceil

this is what john boehner is like as speaker of the house. the president announces job creation ideas, he rejects, big job creation plan, the speaker says plan, where is this plan? that's the announcement. when somebody says here comes this plan, you don't respond with where is the plan. who even does that? what is the congressional republicans' plan this year anyway? what would an america run by john boehner's republicans look like now? the "the washington post" looked at that today, what they have said yes to and taken action on and expressed themselves ability, the highlights, their plan, voted to get rid of medicare by privatizing it, they have voted to stop regulating mountain top removing mining at the federal level, voted to eliminate federal funding for npr, they voted to repeal health reform and eliminate all three federal programs that help people in danger of foreclosure and proposed $647 million be cut from the guys who just brought 14 pounds of highly enriched uranium out of south africa today to keep it off the international bla

i am not going to second ge john boehner. they have got to manage this process to really rethink the federal government. you can't cut the current systems. i would recommend strongly that everybody that is going to be involved in this look at strong america now and a guy named michael strong who has really helped develop a program, i mean michael george who has helped develop a program which is called lean six signature that. they think they can take $500 billion a year out of the federal government by just applying modern systems to it. we have got to go -- >> bill: that is obsolete model we have got to change across the board. we have to start with the tax code. got to get rid of this class warfare business and be realistic about raising revenue mr. speaker, always a pleasure. good luck on the page. thanks for dropping in tonight. directly ahead. new polls tell us interesting things about president obama and the republican field a raid against him. coming up, bernie goldberg on how the media is handling the

>>guest: no, in my gut i think it will pass because john boehner has a good handle on his vote count and i'll be leading here in literally minutes going across the street to vote on the rule vote which is one of the procedural votes for the final vote. so we will know during this rule vote which way it is going to go but i'm quite sure right now that john boehner has his votes to get this passed and harry reid will have to do the same in the senate and we will wrap it up this evening. >>neil: obviously you let the speaker know what your intentions were. was he surprised? anger? annoyed? >>guest: i voted no twice already and this will be a third time on the debt ceiling and i voted no every time previously. my opinion is we have a very serious problem with our fiscal house and i cannot contribute to that fiscal problem. instead, we have to focus on cutting spending. i was at a company in iowa and they cut 50 percent of their employees. cisco will let about 6,500 employees go. companies are cutting back. they are cutting back ideally. why in the world can't the federal government do th

guest: this is the point where everybody is watching to see if john boehner can have his members behind him. there are concerns about cuts. the speaker and others have come out to say there are a certain number of cuts. the cats were significantly lower. boehner made a much bigger effort to keep his partners involved and brief. he said he would not have any deal until he spoke with them. guest: he backed the deal before he talked to them. guest: he did, butot publicly. host:he president spoke with the leaders. guest: today were on the call when the president was speaking. we got reports saying, i need to speak with here. your view on this is important. host:ohn, venice, florida. caller: i am a member of the democratic club. i have seen barack obama twice. [inaudible] i have been on social security. i listen to c-span to very often and bloomberg. i support one person, who is a very good speaker. what is your comments pertaining to social security checks that will be going out on the third of august? what are your comments about that? guest: there are bills to be paid in the next couple o

afterwards, kate bolduan got a rare interview with house speaker john boehner about giffords emotionalat. >> reporter: what do you think of the vote thonk? this evening? >> a strong vote but many steps yet to go. >> reporter: what do you hope -- what do you think the message is for the american people tonight? >> the process works. may not be pretty, but it works. >> reporter: and your thoughts on the spriurprise of gabrielle giffords coming to the floor? >> it was very nice. >> reporter: did you say anything to her? >> i met her when she got off the elevator. >> reporter: what did you say to her, sir? >> i said welcome back. >> man of few words. he is not usually. i think it must be sheer exhaustion after this whole thing. i'm sure he is pleased that ceiling debate is done but he didn't look it. >> at least on his part, right? >> yeah. but everybody. what a change in the tone in the house of representatives with gabby giffords there. it has been anything but bipartisan and anything about compromising, although that bill was bipartisan. >> although somebody, i think it was john boehner

we also heard from the speaker of the house, john boehner. majority leader eric cantor. they spoke half an hour or so ago. i want to play that sound in case you missed it. >> we listened to the american people. we have a real interest in making sure we don't get into this spot again. and that we ought to have a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. and i think if you look at the structure of the balanced budget issues in in agreement, it gives us the best shot that we've had in the 20 years that i've been here to build support for a balanced budget amendment to put the kind of fiscal hand kufs on this congress that are sorely needed. we have never gotten ourselves into the mess that we're in with a balanced budget amendment. >> i think the big win for us and for the american people is the fact that have there are no tax hikes in this package. with so many people out of work, the last thing we need are tax hikes. >> time to play "reporter roulette." what investigators are learning about anders breivik. >> media are combing through his

what about john boehner? i know you were highly critical of the process. give him? >> i think he really worked hard. you could see it. he aged 20 years in the period of the last two weeks. he was in there -- >> steve: we all did. >> that's true. that's actually true. and i watched you guys. but he was in there pitching and really working hard. so i have to give him a for effort. as far as the bill itself is concerned, you know -- this goes for everybody, i heard 5 trillion. i heard 4 trillion. where is the none? there is no cutting. there is very, very little cutting. >> gretchen: you still didn't tell me whether or not you would vote for the deal that's on the table right now. >> i probably would not. there are too many things in there that i wouldn't vote for. one thing would be giving the president a pass on having it done correctly because basically i think that's really a mistake that the republicans are making. this is almost like the lame duck session where they brought him back to life. this is the same kind of a thing. he rose like a phoenix. he w

three publicans in the house didn't care it passed that anyway welcome to john boehner eric cantor's world and now they're flying home on their campaign donors private jets before a compromise funding bill with out anti-union language can be negotiated with the senate so now four thousand f.a.a. workers are furloughed without pay over two and a half billion dollars worth of airport construction projects are on the whole leaving somewhere between sixty and one hundred thousand mostly unionised construction workers out of a job so much for asking where the jobs are. not only that the federal government is losing out on two hundred million dollars a week in uncollected taxes on airline tickets as a result of the partial f.a.a. shutdown and so in a sense that will be at least another five weeks before this is resolved and you can do the math on just how expensive this little republican vacation is so much for caring about deficit reduction transportation secretary ray la hood went on t.v. this morning and speak out against these antics. congress should pass a bill today to send seventy t

he obviously took a different tack here. >> he was working the deal with john boehner. of people thought they were going to get that done. the big, grandz deal. but the speaker couldn't sell it and the house of representatives. i think it's really kind of foolish to talk about winners and losers at this point. there are no winners that i see on this landscape at the moment. we're going to have to kind of work our way through a very, very swampy piece of washington real estate to see if we can get to the high ground or not. but obviously this has not been a great time for the president. it's not been a great time especially for the speaker. if the house does approve the harry reid bill, that will be a little bit of a comeback. but if they reject in the house the reid bill, boehner has had a couple of tough weeks to say nothing of the president. >> i'm sorry, i have to disagree with all due respect. in the house of representatives we actually passed a budget. we passed two bills that would have raised the debt ceiling. and i want to show you this morning you actually saw

wall street or their leadership, and they are so resistant to tax increases, that they prevented john boehnerfrom having the ability to describing that grand bargain with president obama and eastern this afternoon after the market dropped, eric cantor, house republican leader, put positive a letter, with all the tub beaux lance a lot of pressure on congress to compromise on tax increases on us, the republicans, to compromise on tax increases. i ask you to resist that pressure. that's what president obama is facing, and unilaterally, michael steele said, follow me or get out of the way. we're not china. he doesn't have the power to implement a debt reduction plan. >> back to you in a minute, melissa. let me propose something. the president has one card to say. come out and say here's my plan pap radical problem facing us now. i have a solution. here's my job solution. 1 million jobs. come out with a way to develop that in a short-term deal with the cyclical problem. the long-term problem of debt, come out with his own $4 trillion plan. he said he has one. tell us what it is, including entitlem

no, you can't. >> that was john boehner talking about the health care law back in 2010. eaker boehner is saying yes to a 12-member super committee, who is going to make a backroom deal behind closed doors. boehner and senate minority leader mitch mcconnell will pick six members of the super committee. nancy pelosi and harry reid will pick the other six. only 7 members of the committee will have to agree on a deal. that means republicans only need one democrat to come over to the right. the super committee has to deliver the plan to congress by thanks giving. congress has to vote on the recommendations by friday december 23rd. president obama and the democrats expect the committee to recommend a tax increase in return for any cuts in entitlements. here's where the problem comes in for the democrats. take a look at what senator mcconnell said yesterday. >> the chances of any kind of tax increase passing, with the appointees john boehner and i are going to put on there are pretty low. >> there you have it. no interest in raising taxes, but he does think the super committee m

john boehner said he got 98% of what he wanted in this deal. is that true? that's what he said to fellow republicans on a con friend call last night. if that temperature true, why are democrats voting for it anyway. alisyn: john bolton is here live to tell us why he thinks this debt deal puts the country in grave danger. bill: he high jacked a plane that disappeared into thin air. a possible break that baffled investigators for years. yeah!

mean for house speaker john boehner of ohio. he defined the terms of the debate in ways that were unusual for in the house speaker. it was a rocky road along the way. the questions that remain -- what is the lingering effect? yesterday, 66 house republicans voted against this. we will be looking at whether we will be looking at whether the house republicans can move beyond this and there have been some differences in approach among republican leaders with speaker boehner. that is something that we will see how it moves forward. host: is the speaker vulnerable to the threat to that post? guest: no. last week, there were such questions about what would happen to boehner. last week there were questions if whether the house would even pass the bill. for now, given that this is about to be enacted, and the healthy votes yesterday, i think this is pretty positive for him. the one question they will be looking at in august is the political impact of all of this. how it will play out at home for members of congress. the polls have shown

speaker john boehner's fact sheet says that it would get cut across the board. the white house says medicare beneficiaries are protected. we're going to try and get clarification. more details should come out after more members actually read the measure. >> you know, i haven't seen the legislation yet. i haven't had an opportunity to read it. >> too often we're asked to vote on legislation where we haven't even had an opportunity to read it. so i definitely want to read exactly what is in this deal. >> i haven't seen it in writing the final product. as you know with these things, the details on important. >> details are important. you can almost hear the world markets sigh with relief that the u.s. might avoid default. asian stocks rallied after president obama announced that a deal had been reached. we're joined in a moment from hong kong with details. u.s. stock futures, by the way, are way up this morning. remember last week -- you probably would rather forget how the market did last week. it was the worst week in more than a year thanks in no small part to t

so, now we know that john boehner has been telling the truth the entire week.e first introduced in the house was the bill that he and harry reid worked on last week. if he would have had enough democrats who would have voted with john boehner, this would have passed on monday and we wouldn't be at the moment of crisis that we're in right now. >> governor granholm, what in the end, senators are a little bit more constrained by the politics and the negotiations, but you heard david plouffe. what, in the end, should be acceptable to the president at this point? >> obviously, he wants to make sure we don't see an extension of this debate for the next few months. we want to make sure it's taken care of. he obviously has said that we don't want to do further damage to the economy and that you have to have a balanced approach. but honestly, and listening to my colleague over here -- not my colleague, but the colleagues of others in the house, and i appreciate being here with you -- we are just talking past one another. and the reality is, what has to happen is i think

sanjay, thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> and coming up, did the tea party stab john boehner in the back? and what could the deal cost you? i will ask dave ramsey. let me tell you about a very important phone call i made. when i got my medicare card, i realized i needed an aarp... medicare supplement insurance card, too. medicare is one of the great things about turning 65, but it doesn't cover everything. in fact, it only pays up to 80% of your part b expenses. if you're already on or eligible for medicare, call now to find out how an aarp... medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company, helps cover some of the medical expenses... not paid by medicare part b. that can save you from paying up to thousands of dollars... out of your own pocket. these are the only medicare supplement insurance plans... exclusively endorsed by aarp.
