mr. boehner. i can't imagine what's changed from yesterday to today. although he did speak with the president. i think the president has acted in good faith on this one. and certainly the senate has acted in good faith both democrats and republicans and mr. boehner needs to get into the holiday mood here. >> all right, congressman, we have to break in for just a second. we're listening to the speaker now. >> one big reason why we need to do a full year and that's jobs. i want to hear a bill like the president requested and like the house produced. provides on average about $1,000 for american workers as opposed to the senate bill which would provide a measly $166. as importantly, a one-year bill would provide certainty for employers as they begin to plan for next year. two-month extension only perpetuates the uncertainty that too many employers already have in dealing with the economy and what's coming out of washington. listen, i used to run a small business. i can tell you that the language in the senate bill will hurt small businesses. the senate on

mr. boehner came on thursday when senate republican leader mitch mcconnell called on the house to just passs two month extension. normally the two leaders are fiercely loyal to one another, but in this case, senate republicans were starting to worry that house republicans were hurting the party's image. nancy, cbs news, capitol hill. >> u.s. military admits that it made a big mistake. when american war planes attacked a border post killing 26 pakistani troops. u.s. forces blame the november air strike on inaccurate maps and a misunderstanding of the true location of the pakistani military units. the pentagon says both forces contributed to that mistake. the air strike and the us reluctance to admit the mistake earlier has sent strained pakistani relations to a new low. >>> we all heard, crime doesn't pay, but today a handful of local law enforcement agencies received a generous gift from a criminal benefactor. the federal government handed out checks ranging from $95,000 to just under half a million. the money is coming from shawn, a convicted drug dealer. he was arrested for running a mult

mr. boehner's office, we talked to the president himself and in the final bill which passed this week they backed away from that really disastrous cut for hungry people. >> a few weeks ago we heard that ere were 7 billion people on earth and the forecast was this would be going up to 9 billion by 2050. can all those people be fed? >> well, i think we need to curtail population growth, but those people can be fed, and the key is an expansion of the productivity of poor farmers in poor countries. they can grow more to feed their own families, to raise their incomes. that's where the food will come from for poor countries. >> you mean rather than have it grown here and shipped someplace else? >> i think expanding demand for food will also be good for us agriculture but the bulk of the supply needs to come from the expansion of poor country, poor farmer agriculture. >> and this week you came out with a proposal to change the system between the government and farmers in this country. what do you want to do? >> well, we think it's possible to develop a system that would be better for farmers esp

mr. boehner -- >> speaker boehner, do you have assurances from your conference that nobody will object toside? that you have everybody in line? >> i don't know that, but that's -- our goal is to do this by unanimous consent. >> speaker boehner, there are a lot of folks who are saying that you caved on this. did you cave? and considering the fallout, was this the worst week of your speakership? >> you know, sometimes it's hard to do the right thing. and sometimes it's politically difficult to do the right thing. but, you know, when everybody called for a one-year extension of the payroll tax deduction, when everybody wanted a full year of extended unemployment benefits, we were here fighting for the right things. it may not have politically been the smartest thing in the world, but i'm going to tell you what, i think our members waged a good fight. we were able to come to an agreement. we were able to fix what came out of the senate. you know, all year, you've heard me talk about short-term extensions, short-term gimmicks, and the consequences they have for our economy. and you know, when

mr. boehner says he does not want. none of us have watched this legislative process and think things are certain. we do know that the senate has passed a bipartisan extension of these three important items. we do know that if we pass that morrow, and send it to the president, the president will sign it. we do not know for certain that people will not lose the middle class tax cut. they will not lose reimbursement, and unemployment insurance will continue. we know that for certain. when you ask what is wrong, it perpetuates the uncertainty of which the republican congress complains. we can get sick and the tomorrow bypassing the middle class tax cut -- it certainty to our of bypassing the middle class tax cut -- get certainty tomorrow bypassing the middle class tax cut. >>-- by passing the middle class tax cut. >> why did democrats vote against the payroll tax cut package? >> i know how closely you attended the particular is of the legislation. there were poisoned pills built into that bill so it would not be exempted b

mr. boehner say he doesn't want to hear the word compromise?t's how you come to a resolution of a problem. neither side is ever perfect. you come to a resolution. you come together and democrats are sticking to their guns to hope that we can sit down and come to that resolution. but if you come in with a full deck and then you say, we can't use these cards, you're not really dealing with a compromise. jon: you talked about 2001 and 2003 but, fair to say, in those years we didn't have a federal deficit approaching what, $15 trillion? >> no. but we neither did we have any proof that those tax cuts produced any kind of increase in jobs. what i find most interesting is that the republican philosophy now is, that we don't have to pay, or those tax cuts will pay for themselves. if we keep going the way we're going, jon, by 2020, the greatest portion of our deficit in this country will be because of those tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. i might add this. in december of next year, 2012, the republican party is going to have to make a big decision because we

mr. boehner. sis i don't think this is him. it's unfortunate that the people in this country are now being rolled over. >> dana, explain to me if chairman cleaver is correct, how this could happen. look at this graph. 39 republicans in the senate voted in favor of it, including tea party favorites marco rubio and pat toomey. 39, including tea party favorites. in the house, 229 republicans vote against it. i mean, what's happening here? >> well, reverend, i think the congressman's take is basically correct, and, of course, what -- i was in that session earlier today with john boehner and the other conferrees, they would like to make this a dispute, just another bit of partisan bickering with the democrats, but this is a whole other ball of wax. their fight isn't with the democrats. it's with republicans in their own parties and conservatives. john boehner is a relatively weak speaker. you've got to understand, you mentioned the whole braveheart thing. ten people got up in this private meeting of the republican caucus the other n

mr. boehner, who established the beginnings of some good working relationships and i am hopeful this will lead to the congress now proceeding to deal with the nation's business in a proper way in which we have the necessary and proper respect and cooperation and bipartisanship. congratulations to all, merry christmas to all, and at this time, a very good night. >> thank you very much. we're also joined by steve cohen. did you want to say a few words? >> i appreciate the opportunity with all this leadership, i feel like tiny tim. it is a special time. i did not stay here for this purpose. i stayed here to watch the university of memphis played georgetown last night by sore a more experienced team beat a younger team. hopefully my team will improve and hopefully the tea party will learn from that so we will not be in march madness, a comeback. they will learn from their mistakes and get better. that was a game and this is real life and this was a great day for america. >> thank you very much and i want to say in closing that we had much work to do. there is no more important job which faces

mr. boehner and mcconnell want to prevenlt president obama from winning a second term, but are they preparedsubject 160 million americans to higher taxes in order to realize their goal? >> they were prepared not to extend unemployment compensation unless the president relented to their protection of the rich. they were prepared not to give him permission to hold our country to the international community in fiscal turmoil. how far they are willing to go, i don't know. i do know one thing. it makes no economic sense, no political sense for the republican party to insist that a pipeline gets into a bill that the president said he will veto if they do the right thing. i can tell you this, martin. this is note just because of the pipeline. this is what we call putting a poison pill into a good package. they did not want to extend unemployment compensation. this is this causes people not to go for work. they did not want to extend the tax holiday. they said this would not work out because of the social security program. even when we talk about the tax break for the middle class and the working cl

mr. boehner is left to kill the bill.ill, but like othello he now says, so sweet was never so fatal. of course, it's now too late to go back and stop the hidden hand of eric cantor, orchestrating his own plan while publicly throwing speaker boehner to the wolves. but that's what he's been doing for the last year. this may be a tragedy for john boehner, but in reality, it's the most terrible tragedy for the american people. and it's them who are being killed by eric cantor, a shakespearean rogue, if ever i saw one. thanks so much for watching. dylan ratigan's here to take us forward. dylan, what you got? >> well, i have some actually very spectacular news for you, martin. >> spectacular news? >> yeah, oh, yeah. i'm going to show you something. so, listen, you know the holiday's coming up, i did not have a christmas card. as you know, i don't have a family, per se. i don't have a wife or children. so i can't put like a cute picture of myself with my wife and babies on the family card -- >> you're now appealing for sympathy

mr. boehner sat in senator mcconnell's office and senator reid's office, senator mcconnell will have his proxy. they are promising to live by whatever agreement he said it reached. i am committed to bringing the house back, and we can do it within 24 hours. it is from mcconnell unprepared by my staff in order for me to know -- a chronolog prepared by staff in order for me to know what is going on. on cnn, 12-18 in the washington post 12-17, the speaker reacted to reports that we may have to settle on a two-month extension. footnote right there. in january of 2009, house republicans will likely reject a two-month extension, citing a desire to avoid striking a short-term deal and what impact of such a deal would have. just under two years ago, house republicans including some of the more conservative members were arguing that a two-month payroll tax would effectively stimulate the economy and he offered the measure in response to that. captured in this video leaving the caucus giving a high 5 to the senator from wyoming. later, senator mcconnell says that he obviously keep the speaker info

mr. boehner says he will not hesitate to bring the entire house back next week, jon? >> jon: what sort of political fallout can we expect? >> well, the speaker revealed this deal to members about two hours ago on a conference call. he did not ask for feedback. he did not take questions. and that really seemed to anger some of the republic members. a lot of grumbling about that the speaker a short time ago acknowledged the difficulty of this fight. >> jon: it's not always easy to do the right thing. but we believe that we came here to change the way this town does business. no more gimmicks and short-term -- it's time to do policy and do it the right way. >> we have heard republic members grumble the speaker will have trouble when he comes back. he have a hard time holding on to his speakership, jon. >> jon: what are some of the other top leaders saying. >> hearing a sigh of relief from key leaders here in the united states senate. for example, majority leader harry reid saying quote i'm grateful the voices of reason have prevailed and has agreed to pass the compromise

mr. boehner is playing politics and some of my republican friends are playing politics. no time for that. they set their politics to the side. >> there is concern that extending the holiday will affect the solvency of social security. the budget office said it's to 2038. is this republican seeking simply to injury the president by any means even if it means injuring 160 million americans who would have to pay more tax if this matter is not resolved? >> i have to answer with a yes because we also heard from the actuary that made it clear there would be no harm done by doing this tax cut. again, we can find excuses not to do things, but the american people are depending on us to do something and do it right. if we are not, we need to get out of office and let somebody else come in and do this. they are depending on us and i'm tired of the contradictions and the hypocrisy. on the one hand, republicans guarding with all of their might making sure that there is no tax hikes on the rich, but when it comes to a tax hike on the 160 million hardworking americans, suddenly they sa
