congressman shawn duffy accused cruz of waving the white flag and surrendering. congressman tim griffin said senate republicans are good at getting facebook likes and town halls and not much else. do something. and senior republican aide said ted cruz came here to throw bombs and fund raise off of attacks on fellow republicans. he's a joke plain and simple. today speaker john boehner sent a sharp message to ted cruz over in the senate. >> guess what. we're having a fight over here. we're going to win the fight over here. it's time for them to pick up the mantel and get the job done. >> republicans are running a dangerous race against each other. trying to see who can go farthest to the right. they're willing to shut down the government and maybe even send the nation into default. >> this is playing with fire. legislative arsonists are at work when they start using the debt limit for their own agenda. not lifting the debt limit is unleashing a torrent, a river of no return. it is beyond cataclysmic. >> it's a disaster in the making. these republican arsonists seem

. >> we had shawn duffy on. conservative ted cruz, but cynical ted cruz. >> this is a great issue for them to raise money and be the leader and come out as the tea party guy or president. he knows it's a disaster. he took this hot potato that he created. he heated up the potato and threw it over the house. he said not me. you guys do it. that got them furious, as it should. when there is disunity as amongst republicans, there was among democrats two years ago, you almost always lose. >> there was unity and one week ago regarding the president's foreign policy. are you concerned and a long time supporter of israel. >> yes. >>. >> you concerned with assad and putin have been in power in a way that can only make the leaders of iran feel more confident? >> it's interesting on the putin side. i don't trust putin. what he did with snowden was despicable and cheap. he wants to be a world leader and as much as he fears the u.s., he has rebels and chechnyan rebels. he will move to get rid of the weapons. here's the thing
