bill: mitch mcconnell on "60 minutes" said listen this is the process an sometimes there's a pros that president feel uncomfortable. he went on to that harry reid didn't make the president uncomfortable because no bills were sent to the white house. how will that change, governor? >> it will change john boehner, mitch mcconnell who have been around a long time and want to get some legislation. after a while this president i suspect will discover he is not getting anything. he is going to start worrying about legacy. he will lies he has no legislation passed except obamacare. he is going to have to go down and i think, either eat a little bit of humble pie and work out a deal on issues they can find compromise on but it is not going to happen if all he does is pontificate legislation. bill: you see some movement possible not a zero-sum game in two years? >> i see some movement possible in this president stops thinking he is a dictator and starts realizing what it takes to be a president. bill: stiff me an example how he concedes? what does he give? >> look, george herbert walker bush sa

john boehner and mitch mcconnell have that mantle and here is part of their interview on "60 minutes.lipped the part where they are whining about president obama. >> he seems to have forgotten or chose to ignore the election last november. >> the president could have put out an olive branch, could have taken a little bit different tone that would have indicated that there is some interest in working with us. >> are these the right two guys to lead the party? >> the fight means no leading voice will come from the presidential ranks anytime soon. i thought they were on "60 minutes" pretty good. they are still negative. they are still more about criticism than about concrete solutions. it is hard to lead from congress against the president but if i were them i would send paul ryan out to do "60 minutes," not them. >> i had the same thought. they are good at some things organizing congress, holding a very diverse house together as john boehner has done. in terms of being messengers or the party it sounds a lot like whining. >> it is a huge problem. for the next nine months, 10 months, may

in fact, a pretty interesting 60 minutes interview is airing this weekend where john boehner and mitch mcconnell are asked, what about the community college proposal? what about that tax cut? that would mean tax increases for the wealthy. no. child care? maybe. trade? mcconnell said definitely would like to work on that. so that gives you some sense of the game plan. look as far as republicans see it, they won the election. the president got a chance to have his night but as mcconnell said just a few hours before the speech, he doesn't control the agenda. we do. so they will continue moving legislation they believe not only has republican support but might get modest democratic support and then force the president to make decisions. do you approve or veto? so far he has issued six or seven veto threats against what the republicans are working on. it's only week three. not necessarily a good sign. gwen: he issued two in the hours before he delivered the speech and the speech mentioned four others. you can see the interesting mix of confrontation and this supposed olive branch for collab

bill: senate majority leader mitch mm connell and "60 minutes" along with john boehner.ator mcconnell also says he wants to work the president. what does that mean? on what? >> we would like to work the president on places where we could find things moving forward. america has a history in divided government achieving big things. think back to reagan and tip o'neill doing tax reform. or balancing the budget with bill clinton. remember bill clinton said the era of big government is over. our president thought he wouldn't election. he we have been here three weeks and he offered 7 veto threats on bills that have 102 democrat threats. bill: do you think of that as defines? what is that attitude you heard? >> he said i wanted to work with us but offered the most veto threats of any president in the state of the union history. sit down, work the legislative process and find a common ground at the end of the day. bill: do you think he's negotiating or is it more than that? >> i don't see negotiations on his side. we sat down with him twice having lunch, talking about places we

minute, ron. you've had heard republicans, you heard mitch mcconnell talk about tax reform, giving the president trade authority some deal on infrastructure, you're saying none of that will happened? >> he's saying it. i've heard a lot of things from the president from boehner from mcconnell nothing ever happens. words are cheap in this town. i've seen no indication that any of the leaders in this party have the ability or will to work together. >> i would love to be wrong and writer a column at the end of the year they guys have solved problems. >> am i living in an alternative universe? >> you had two members that were elected with a lot of goals in mind. you have a fact of a lot of divisions among the democrats so on two of those things, keystone and on infrastructure you could get bepan are partisan majority on though. for the first time in years president obama will have to make is decisions, because harry reid has been the veto pen for so much. relentless on jobs, those will come over to the senate, they will pass the senate and the president will have to decide. >> you have a great fight. >> yo

with a republican majority, and i don't know if you saw speaker boehner and mitch mcconnell being interviewed on "60 minutes." >> i didn't. sounds interesting. i will have to set my dvr. >> yeah. the question is, what is the president's actual technique to follow through? is he going to convene the kinds of discussions you suggested, talking about real issues, piece by piece? how is he going to approach his new relationship in trying to push forward the agenda? >> let me put it this way -- the president understands how important it is to work with republican leaders to advance legislation in the congress. and, again, it is self-evident that there is a republican majority in the congress and we want to advance our agenda to the congress, we have to work in bipartisan fashion to do it and it may require doing things like the president did at the end of last year, signing a peace of budget legislation that was overall good for the country but included some things the president didn't like. i'm confident there will be other signing ceremonies where the president has to do something similar, and that is the spir
