john boehner admitted defeat and sent lawmakers home for the holiday. the house republican leaders had unequivocally and wrongly predicted that the bill would pass. they were absolutely certain the bill would pass. this is definitely going to pass. before we go home for christmas, let's pass this bill. we can't pass this bill. let's go home for christmas and pretend this didn't happen. in 2013, even the farm bill went down to a shocking surprise defeat in the republican house in the sense that it was a shocking surprise to them that was trying to do it. they were trying to pass it. they were able to pass it with their own votes had they been organized enough to figure that out. they shocked themselves by not being able to get it done. and, yes, the farm bill is not the sort of thing that often makes much of a political ripple. it is consequential, it matters a lot, but it is one of those giant, really boring, hard to understood bills that gets passed routinely without much fanfare. before 2013, the farm bill hadn't been voted down in at least four decad

she and john boehner, who -- we saw very young john boehner in the earlier clip.hey each agreed they would provide half of their caucuses to pass the tax assets relief package. republicans did not deliver on their vote. not even close. she delivered more than half of the democratic caucus, not enough to get it through. because a huge reaction in the stock market. catastrophe seemed to loom. at that point, she got it through congress with democratic votes. still not half of the republicans voting for it. she's only that that the -- she told me that vote was necessary to avoid a potential great depression. but she things it is why democrats lost control of 2010. she things it was more damaging politically for democrats than voting for the affordable care act. host: that was the next thing i wanted to talk to you about. that bill is become known colloquially as obamacare but you title it pelosicare. why? guest: it would not have passed without barack obama, but it would also not have passed without nancy pelosi and her political skills. there was a point when democra

pelosi have the collegial support of the warring democratic party, or is she on the edge of a john boehnerck: i don't think the support could be called collegial right now. they are all relatively angry with each other. but they are holding it together for now. the question is are the moderates in the senate in particular, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema, going to give them a number they can work with ? the progressives and moderates are trying to get one bill over the other. if they can make enough progress on the reconciliation bill, they could try to move forward on both. but the key is do they get a topline number from senator manchin in particular saying what is the framework that we can work with. they really haven't gotten that yet. lisa: how doug in are the progressives -- how dug in are the progressives? jack: they are pretty dugin. i think the key issue is not whether the progressives just crumble. it is could there possibly be enough moderate republicans who side with the democrats who want the infrastructure bill to overcome the progressive objections. we don't have an exact vot

back in 2012, john boehner said we have to get jobs. as soon as barack obama was elected it all became the data. republicans are very disingenuous is a nice term. as far as nafta goes, that was a republican -- prayed i do not blame progressives one bit for holding off on this. we see what happens when we hold off to find equity across the board. we get labor and environmental enforcement in mexico as opposed to what we have here, it never happened. so thankfully we have that. host: comments on facebook here for this one from casey who says cut the military and the drug war, invest in health care for everyone, but especially the mentally ill. upgrade the necessary infrastructures deal with flooding and wildfires. i have a much longer list, but those would be my priorities. government spending is out of control, we haven't had a balanced budget since clinton. it wouldn't be bad of the benefits weren't exclusive to the wealthy. they took over congress 40 years ago and wrecked everything for us. , crestline is next, this is jason. good morn

she used to make fun of john boehner and awry, and for bringing votes in the republican controlled house without being sure that they would be undermined by the three-time caucus. you notice that in the clip that you just showed, she said that they plan to bring it tomorrow. she did not say i will definitely under all circumstances bring this to a vote tomorrow. so it is possible i think that this gets pulled back, for a little more consideration. all that is clearly not -- to bring this up for a vote. and she said today, she still plans to do that. but pelosi bringing up a major bill, that she knows who's going to go down. i'm not sure i've ever seen that before. indeed, peter baker how to put this politely, there are white house aides that have spent less time in the oval office than senator cinema these days. say nothing of face time for senator manchin and the president of -- they have these tough two votes coming up, i guess if one or both should go down, it won't be for lack of outreach on the part of the biden white house. or is that correct? >> no i think that's, right although y

. >> former house speakers, republicans john boehner and paul ryan have also given money to liz cheney since all this started. >> yes. it's not clear that the republican party is their party anymore. it's the trump party. and so a lot of these debates. they may help liz cheney but ultimately, the party has moved away from there. it's not that time anymore. it's trump's time. >> thanks one and all. >>> coming up next, a heated meeting about afghan evacuations. why some lawmakers stormed out of the room. stay with us. when subway® opened they changed the fast food game. but sometimes you gotta refresh ...to be fresh. welcome to the eat fresh refresh. refresh where there is so much new, some say that it can't fit in one ad. i say... ...we're talking a new all-american club, deli-style oven-roasted turkey and... oh, that's the new steak & cheese. oh yeah, i knew that. that's the one with the new... ...seasoning. and that was the new mvp parmesan vinaigrette . right. which makes a next level foot... hold up. the subway logo? wait i'm out of time? kinder bueno? woooooow. it's crispy. it's cr

former republican house speaker john boehner, and many of his republican colleagues railed against senatorz to this day for interfering in house business in urging house republicans to vote against an increase in the debt ceiling, wh john was speaker. we await speaker pelosi's mom wanted to find out h she really feels about what senator sanders had to say today. what makes senar sanders reaching intohouseven more unusual. is that the position he adcates, is already being well represented byhe lear of t progreive caus in the house. our next guest congresswoman pramila jayapal. speaker losi is no doubt less troubled by senat sander protocol breach thanhe is by the reluance osenato joe manchin and kyrsten sinema we to come to an agreement with e rest of the senate democrats and the prident. so once again today president joe biden had ten invidual e-on-one meetings with senator joe mahin and senator kyrsten sinema who are fast becoming the senators wi the most entries in e biden white house admitted to records. and once again, frustring all the rest of the decrats, setor manchin and senator ky

the big question though is the gop base because with speaker john boehner it was the base that rose upbainer who put pressure on their members and started to turn on their leadership. that hasn't happened here but could it happen? >> the interpretation we don't have to worry about trump, is that a washington conversation or is that what's happening in the real world in the former governor of south carolina said the fever has lasted longer than anticipated and then he also thinks when will we know? do we need to go through the primary campaign in 2022? >> the whole fever breaking analogy needs to go away. rachel is exactly right. mcconnell has a base problem but here's the thing. mcconnell's base is the gop caucus, and he's got a really firm grasp on this, even if some of these long shot candidates get in, they won't get a majority of just -- mathematically they won't get a majority. >> the takeaway from that piece as well could have been just as interesting as trump trying to basically press mcconnell and try to find an owe powers is how he was met with skepticism, how some of the peop

liz cheney getting support of george bush, john boehner, karl rove, it is the last stand of the old guardthis is no longer their republican party. this is donald trump's republican party. what liz cheney is saying i know wyoming as well as anybody, i am willing to take on trumpism within the party because i think what i did was right. we'll see if she's victorious in that race. even if she returns to congress, she's in the vast minority of today's republican party and the republican caucus in congress, and what that means for the future of the party, probably not directed by liz cheney, even if she retains her seat. >> little remembered fact, liz cheney, actually the cheney family has some roots in texas where her father in between being defense secretary and vice president ran halliburton, big defense contractor headquartered in texas. and remember, he had to change his voting registration from texas to wyoming to file for vice president because of the texas rule in the electoral college. you know the story. anyway. >> that's right. >> he is kind of a texas guy as well as wyoming guy. >>

john boehner said we either need to cut spending, reform entitlements, a variety of hostage demands.s does not. mitch mcconnell has said republicans aren't lifting the debt limit and that's it, they're just not doing it, and democrats need to do it with budget reconciliation, which is the fast-track 50-vote process that you could raise the debt limit with just democratic votes. there's not much time. we're 19 days to the limit. democrats just -- congress needs to get going because everything takes a long time. >> i want to play for you what senator pat toomey, pennsylvania republican, said about the debt limit. >> it is not about past spending. it is about future spending. consider for instance this 3.5, which is really $5.5, trillion spending bill. last time i checked, that hasn't passed yet. >> according to the u.s. treasury, senator, the debt limit does not authorize new spending commitments. even if the democrats are unable to pass infrastructure, unable to pass social infrastructure, if both those bills die, correct me if i'm wrong here, you would still have to raise the debt li

woman donna edwards, former senior adviser to jeb bush and former spokesman for house speaker john boehnerat large, charlie sykes. welcome all. the polling is high on most of these policies, yet we hear them labeled the 3.5 trillion, the 1 trillion, the 2.5 trillion compromise president biden is pushing all of this with the midterms down the road could be democrats' last chance for action on these issues why can't democrats talk about what's in it instead of the price tags >> well, i'm glad that you raised this, andrea, because if you look across the broad spectrum of the policies that are in place, not only do a majority of americans support them, but among democrats the numbers are actually off the chart. so i think it's really important to talk about what's in them i mean, people want -- families want child care. they want relief for health care and prescription drug prices they want to deal with the pressing issue of the climate crisis, and all of this and more are in these -- in these packages and frankly, one doesn't stand unless the other one stands, and this is why i think it's rea

also with us donna edwards and former adviser to house speakers john boehner and paul ryan.t call to the chinese counterpart, it was on october 30th because the china thought according to intelligence was preparing to attack and he wanted to reassure him. we had deployed nimitz to the south china seas and the rhetoric from president trump at the u.n. general assembly meeting from the white house had been that we have to hold china accountable and it was, you know, a constant bashing against china because of the coronavirus and the way the president was using that. so that is the context. after january 6, milley calls general lee again and they write this the book li remained unusually rattled putting the two nations on the knife-edge of disaster. so that is the context and now we have the statement from milg milley's spokesman saying he was so concerned about china misreading us that he did call china and russia and a number of other -- maybe 20 other countries i was told. he is now under attack not just from president trump but marco rubio calling for him to be fired. you'v

around to an election you just get slaughtered, and we picked up 54 seats two years into clinton, john boehner have walked these people off of a cliff without parachutes and they can't go home and explain they're moderates. they are all going to be big government socialists by the time she's gone voting. steve: meanwhile on foxnews.com you have an op-ed biden's border disaster why it will just keep getting worse and newt, after we saw those images last week we thought it couldn't get much worse than that until they brought in the bulldozers and got everybody out, it's all about optics because they have a rally later today and they don't want that stuff back there. >> look, i think the fact is that biden and the radical democrats want to drown america and people who are here illegally. they shift them all over the country and then they want us to pay for them with tax money so that they get free healthcare, free housing, free education, you name it, and a lot of these people are not assimilated. they don't speak english, they aren't prepared to work here, and they aren't tested for covid , they

john boehner said it would be the tobias of small businesses and that the light of freedom will grow dimmer. sounds familiar could but that did not happen with the federal medical leave act and that is not going to help -- it is actually the inverse. the paid family leave act is not just here in california, but other states are an example of when you have a robust paid family leave program, there is less turnover. there is a higher likelihood somebody is going to return to work and their income growth will continue. at actually increases the likelihood that a father takes time off to care for the newborn child, when in the past it was not the case. this is something i know will have a transformative effect on people's lives we have to ask what kind of country we want to live in. i believe in family values from birth to the grave. don't we want mothers and fathers to take time off to bond with a new child or adopted child? and not risk losing their job and their income, putting their financial security at risk? don't we want that mother and father to be able to take time off to take c

quick question, when john boehner used to put me in that chair it was because because hi done something really annoying. you are the nightsest guy here i can't imagine she ut put in you there for punishment. pursuant to section 11-b of house resolution 188, the house stands adjourned until 11a.m. on sunday, september 26, 2021 "was" continues. host: back with us this morning is congressman earl blumenauer, democrat of oregon, member of the ways and means committee. let's begin with the announcement yesterday on the hill that democrats in the white house -- in the house and senate and white house
