something that he's been talking about for years and for years and he's obviously received a lot of pushback first are a lot of people that didn't agree because he simply didn't have the evidence to prove this and also he's been sleeping a lot a receiving a lot of pushback from the n.s.a. intelligence community itself one of the things that he says was going to happen that actually did happen today a little bit away from here on a different side of washington was that keith alexander and the n.s.a. intelligence community were going to use media mischaracterization of government surveillance programs he said it was going to happen sure enough just about an hour ago this article popped up right so i actually there was a senator or congressman amash was there as well and he called senator wyden and the congressional whistleblower because he was his questions to get the intelligence community to try to say things that he himself is not a lot of say due to non-disclosure forms that he had to fill out and certain intelligence community things that he's just not allowed to share but he did say that

our pushback has been sort of against that. now enter in this new threat of not just threat, but the reality of investigations and prosecutions, particularly in the world that i cover. it certainly has come up in discussions with sources. and when it does come up on sensitive matters, it's something that we talk out and we -- but what i make an explosive promise of confidentiality, it's just that, i will honor that. a lot more meetings with people at their homes or in -- in coffee shops or bars as opposed to in offices. communicating with people with their personal e-mail addresses not the government ones. were any of the messages coming from people at the public affairs shop, if not, let's slide them for further scrutiny. that stuff is happening routinely. >> also the two other elements, very important elements here for the reader, for the audience. those are accuracy and credibility. if you can't talk to the people who really know what's going on, you're liable to find other sources on background or who have axes to grind and

look, the reality is that the speaker certainly is getting a lot of pushback from some -- many of the republican establishment. he is getting a lot of pushback from some republican senators, even some of the most conservative saying this strategy is just unworkable to dig in. but from inside his caucus, the people who he just met with this morning, i'm told that they are really, really standing by him, that his resolve on this is actually helping him from within his caucus. all sides of his caucus, not just the most staunch conservatives, those elected with tea party support but all sides. so at this point, he feels like he doesn't really need to move when it comes to the shutdown. and the message that he put out there that democrats suggested this is all a game, that is something that we now know has been discussed very clearly as strategy among republicans to say that democrats simply won't negotiate and they feel like that this is going to help republicans at least alleviate some of the blame here. we'll see if that's going to happen. >> dana, here's how i understand where we are i

it's leaked out it now let's see if there's going to be some pushback. the same thing that brought ted cruz to the floor. there's going to be a pushback about the possibility of raising the debt ceiling and not getting enough for it. >> you need to have something to push with. you had nothing. it's over. it's done. it's only a question of writing the details. >> your feeling is they don't have anything to push because the polls are only moving against republicans? >> not only that, their own supporters. particularly businesspeople saying, are you kidding me? >> somebody in the center of all this, the middle of the discussion, is ted cruz. >> well, can cruz show us how it was a success? what was his end game? look, everybody was excited. it was a great filibuster, wonderful speech. what exactly -- how exactly was he going to achieve abolition of obama care? how he ever explained it? and where is he now? >> what's the fallout for ted cruz? >> one of the places where he was today was the value voter summit. he gets heckled by the left. if you're on the righ

certainly the pushback has been everybody does this. but we have better stuff. so we are the u.s. is more able to tap into the phone of angela merkel and to do other things. i think the most troubling thing for their administration at least insofar as it oversees relationships are concerned, it's been a cooperative. they've been sharing intelligence. this is a new day and age of terrorism. if that comes out, if for instance, germany is seen as well, they gave the u.s. this information about the following six people, that is dangerous because then that turns the spotlight on in a way that certainly merkel would not like. i think the administration is lucky in this way. you hear responses like marco rubio. and the ruth is, there is no pressure on had administration to change this at had point. >> change the policy of eavesdropping, surveilance, even on friendly countries? >> i think it's one thing to say we all sigh on each other and another for merkel to find out her cell phone has been tapped. the reality of that simple fact is different from oh, yeah, everybody spies on everybody

he's fighting from a defensive posture because he's trying to pushback on this notion that he and he alone is responsible for the fact that the government is shutdown. he and a lot of his colleagues are trying to spin this to put the shoe on senator reid and president obama. where this really gets interesting, though, is less the government shutdown and mortgage debt ceiling. >> i agree. >> it's one thing for ted cruz. >> let me -- >> nobody wants to have a debt ceiling collapse on their hands. >> do you think -- do you report or analyze the fact that he seems to be responding in that interview there for the first time to the heat that the republican establishment is putting on the politicians here. the house republicans especially. but both of them. that they cannot bring down our american economy and call themselves americans. they can't do that. there he is for the first time pushing back against default. whereas before, that was the thing he wanted to put the obama care stuff right on. he wanted to put it right on the debt ceiling. not the cr. the debt ceiling. target it. >> that

the problem is it will face pushback with democrats in the senate. democrats along with the white house are against this. president obama has promised to veto a partial government reopening. it's all or nothing, get everyone back to work is their mant mantra. democrats pushed back and that's why it failed this in the house. we expect similar results in the senate today. we'll have to wait and see. that's the new strategy, just unclear at this point whether it will work. eun? >>> tracie potts live on capitol hill, thank you. >> tea party radicals have done the unthinkable, they've shut down the federal government. for us that's hard to comprehend as being good. for them, they like it. >> i think it's fair to say none of us want to be in a shutdown and we're here to say to the senate democrats come and talk to us. this is how we resolve our differences and can work our way out of this kind of situation. >>> today some federal workers furloughed by the shutdown will volunteer their time to help out tourists. work e workers will be handing out leaflets j

and who is doing some pushback on this.a whacko bird, but he is talking about republicans have got to dump this scorecard concept of how they run this party. and so, just as mccain did when he was re-elected orrin hatch did, they took a more centrist approach and pushed back, which i think may be a real lesson for this party in the face of the ted cruzes of this world. >> i think if we go back to thinking about ronald reagan and how he can inform this debate, within the republican party, actually, this big civil war, is to realize that ronald reagan actually understood how to govern. and that's the theme of chris' book. and when you look at reagan, the core of his governing is that he stayed true to his principles, but he was always concerned about getting his message across in a way that would open the door for a broader coalition. and actually, he was quite a centrist on the major issues facing the country during the day. for example, on the cold war. he was seen as a hawk by many on the left. but he had more summits with
