, you, speaker for being here in the midst and anotherotice that leader on the democratic side, steni hoyer is also with us. excited toe very have you light up this tree for us tonight. it is so fitting that our state providing this huge christmas tree from the forest near bemidgee, minnesota, which is also home to a huge statue of and babe the blue ox. here's a fun fact, it would fourlly take more than ball bunyan that you thes to reach the star on that tree. i was there at the beginning when this tree was cut by of the year.ogger who is a really big guy. but hed to do it myself, took over. this tree then traveled chippewaes from the forest. and i was at some of the events in minnesota, i was astounded by of school kid that would turn out just to see this tree. canwith all the cynicism we have sometimes in washington, it makes you realize that the people of this country and the of this country still care that their tree from their state, one tree in the whole country, is going to be standing in front of this capitol building. and the foresters conservationists and the loggers who work toge

they are members of the democrat coalition, which is a more moderate group with steny hoyer. you had a lot of the more progressive numbers that voted against it. not only because of the dodd-frank weakening, but the political party money spending that went in. so there is a lot of issues going on here as to what the future will look like i think for the next two years in congress. >> what is very interesting, president obama i don't believe he was so active on the telephone. he sort of sat back and let leader nancy pelosi take over, obviously a different position, but they moved the senate over the the republican side. we now see a president who seems a little more engaged but the engagement we see is almost a declaration of war when he is fighting with the leader of the democratic party in the house. >> well, i don't know if it is a declaration of war. interesting to see him finally getting engaged with the house and maybe recognizing this is what would have been helpful for a lot of different initiatives in the last four years. there are certainly a lot of members and diffe

the president, jou had john boehner, rather, needing joe biden, needing the president, needing steny hoyer, throughout the day at any point were you consulted, were you brought in to the discussions? were you encouraged to vote for this? >> no. there was no encouragement to conservatives. the speaker and majority leader, these folks knew there's money for abortion, money for the epa to hurt states like texas, arizona. there's just all kinds of money in there for things we don't support. and, sean, you and i know some of us have gone to our leadership and said, look, we can do this very easily. let's do it together with conservatives. that's the bulk of our conference. don't make them take a wrong vote. let's fund everything for two months. let us have a vote on defunding obama's amnesty. and we'll even agree that the senate can take it out if they take the hard vote to do that and let it go from there to the president. we were willing to work with them to compromise. and not one word, as you know, the calls went to the white house when in a time that the speaker needed votes he turned to s

for example, he had to go to barack obama, joe biden, steny hoyer and harry reid to get this deal. he didn't talk to any of the conservatives in his caucus when he made this cromnibus bill last week. what's missing to me with john boehner, why not push a cr to fund the government to the new year, use the new majority, talk about balancing a budget, talk about energy independence, talk about an alternative to obama care, they funned obama care for the entire income year. talk about securing the borders. i don't know where he stands. he's not inspiring anybody as a leader who is about to accumulate a lot more power as they have the power of the purse. that to me is a huge unforced error. >> yeah, you're absolutely right. that's the fear as we move forward toward 2016 election cycle. we have to have republicans that understand the fundamental conservative principal base and what john boehner did was use a cr to get us into the new year where you have that senate majority and house majority to really get back to regular order and talk about prioritizing the bills by agencies. we've los

urging her caucus to vote no, and she blasted president obama while her number two, congressman steny hoyer was actually urging the bill's passage. the democrats, that divide. the president spokesman claiming no hard feelings between the white house and the minority leader. >> we'll just say that the president has always had not just a good working relationship but open line of communication with leader pelosi. that didn't change yesterday and it's not going to change in the future. lou: reid is playing nice, he wants the trillion dollar, 1600 page bill passed tonight. but the democratic ranks in the senate are severely divided. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is on capitol hill and has our report. >> reporter: lou, the drama isn't entirely over on capitol hill. house passed a trillion dollar plus government funding extension, now it's up to the senate. >> we're going to consider the legislation to keep our government open and funded and do it today, i hope. senators are unhappy with the legislation, and they'll have a chance to make their objections heard. >> reporter: if se

she has a vote for steny hoyer? who is going to win? >> chris is doing a lot of high profile stuff.o cube back and steny -- >> i just think -- >> i can see -- >> chris is smiling. >> i say february look for the battle royale. >> it will be because he was on the other side. i think financial reform is a sleeper issue democrats are really outraged. >> joy, i suggest there's a little more. i think nancy brilliantly and perhaps treacherously left steny hanging with 58 and she took the rest of the caucus. >> that's right. i used to work on the hill right before -- right before pelosi took office and there was always this jockeying because steny wanted that. what she's done is basically brought him in as close as she can but winking at him saying, you're not as secure and he knows that. >> in the district or the caucus? >> she's so good. >> she's the best. >> let's go back to health care. the figure it is that came out, hitting an all-time low, this is something that i think democrats and voters can give the president credit for. health care may not have been the most popular thing to do.

saying i'm going to be with john boehner today of all days but it's clear that nancy , pelosi and steny hoyer will end up going along. i think harry reid gave them away a couple of days ago when he said he was in favor of a her -- boehner's plan will stop >> -- plan. >> it represents the first nine months of republican dominance when they control both chambers. that is why harry reid is psyched about it. if republicans think they are going to have a lot of leverage playing a game of chicken, i have a bridge in los angeles i would like to sell them. >> i would like to buy that bridge in los angeles. i think it really is kabuki in the sense that we know boehner needs 40 or 50 votes and pelosi is going to provide them. she has been doing that for boehner throughout the entire last two years. next topic -- attorney general eric holder announced a investigation into police in new york where they have been using unnecessary force. this coming 24 hours after a grand jury in new york decided not to indict the officer in staten island. the consensus has form that the travesty is the injustice. can thi

would quiet down -- this is largely going to be a sideshow and if it passes with a coalition of steny hoyer and john boehner, that's going to be good for those who wish the two parties to come together. >> it is hard to think -- i said it looked like an old-fashioned tea party rally. it's hard to imagine they are going to be stronger in these last few years. all of the signs point to it being weakened significantly by everything that is happening. take out your manhattan's and drink, because for the first time since the midterms president obama had a meeting with the incoming senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell from the bluegrass state of kentucky. not a lot of reporting on what happened in the meeting but both sides say was cordial and productive. we hope to learn more but at this time, is it fair to say the best friend president obama has in washington is mitch mcconnell? >> that is a little bit of a rhetorical effect. i don't think which mcconnell will ever be barack obama's best friend, but it is a constructive sign they are meeting and talking. we talk about how little contact the

one of the most interesting people to watch i think is steny hoyer, number two in the house. he was able to get his favorite people into committee slots and worked with the white house to whip the omni bus spending bill. hoyer breaking with pelosi, still have divided government. it will be interesting to see how the intraparty dynamics work out. disarray on the right and left, maybe bipartisan coalitions can come together. >> if the democrats are talking about the post obama era with two years to go in the presidency, it reminds me of republicans talking about the post-bush era with two years to go and what you get in the meantime is chaos. >>> up next, should we jump to conclusions because a potential presidential candidate with a familiar name started losing weight and plans to write a book. >>> an overdue apology from a key architect of obamacare. >> i'd like to begin i go apologizing for the offending comments that i've made. the american public is too stupid to understand the difference. >> are you stupid? >> i don't think so, no. >> does mit employ stupid people? >> not

steny hoyer is a person you don't hear from a lot. he is the house whip. he got the 57 democrats together. next year democrats are important for giving speaker boehner enough votes that he doesn't have on his own side. >> the white house today, friday, was talking about how speaker boehner was going to have at least, what is it, 12 more republicans in his conference and they're kind of looking at him that 12 more might give him a little more strength, that's certainly the way they're thinking about it. obviously mitch mcconnell will have the majority and so the thought is that maybe president obama will rise a little bit beyond what people's expectations were, maybe speaker boehner himself will feel more comfortable and more powerful himself with mitch mcconnell being by his side. >> a new era of bipartisanship. >> no, lots of news for all of us. gwen: let's parse out some of the actual bites. where does that immigration executive order fight stand tonight? >> that's what republicans were so concerned and right after that vote passed, the new house republi

. >> we also saw elizabeth warren and nancy pelosi united against barack obama and steny hoyer. >> thatonies, everybody thinks that, you know elizabeth warren might be the president's candidate, but actually she right now is presenting herself as the strongest critic. in the economy more generally, even on some of the policy things. >> we focused so much over the past couple of years about republican divisions. i lived through barely survived. we haven't focused on what democrats are divided upon. we certainly see with the president having a lack of solid relationships to democrats they're not happy about him going it alone either. >> she will be their ted cruz. >> i agree with that. what about benghazi? is this going to matter for hillary? it's something she has to really answer in front of the american people. >> foreign policy in general. jared brought up foreign policy earlier. a lot of the decisions that have been made have been criticized. i don't think it's a hard one. where she is and we're talking about a strong national defense have a strong foreign policy. where will she be i

because this thing passed in the house in october of 2013 with 70 democrats supporting it, including steny hoyerrence in campaign finances that was negotiated between reed, mcconnell, and boehner. what you're seeing tonight is the liberal wing standing up to something that was directly negotiated by reid and the white house, and was supported by them before. they're not taking it"n)f . >> also, could there be another factor here? you've lost both houses of congress now. you're the opposition on the hill. you're not worried about carrying the water on debt ceilings and all the rest and budget deals. you lost the house a while ago. you're losing the senate. is this a revolutionary spirit fueled by the fact, you don't have to run the show, you just have to drive your ideas? >> i think what's really clear, chris, is the fact is, the american people are expecting us to fight for them. they're depending on us to fight for them. we're prepared to do it. you know, if you look at that deal that was negotiated, i don't know that the white house frankly was clearly in the room on this. and clearly some dea

you had today president obama harry reid and steny hoyer versus nanty pelosi and elizabeth warren. originally, a lot of democrats in leadership did not think that change to dodd-frank would be a big deal. why is that? back in 2013 when the voice went to the house floor, over 70 democrats supported that. also the big change in campaign finance do nations that went up to $324,000 per individual, that was directly negotiated between harry reid and mitch mcconnell. make no mistake about it. this deal had the blessing of the leadership and the white house. what changed is what you said, elizabeth warren going to the senate floor yesterday saying if this were to go through, it would show the american people that the system is totally corrupt, the system is for sale. that has a big impact on a lot of house democrats who quite frankly, lawrence, don't have a very good relationship with this white house, have been fed up by being cut out of these negotiations and they decided they wanted to take a stand. i think what we saw tonight, while they weren't able to completely block it after the c

number two democrat, steny hoyer supported it. reinforcements came -- cheryl: i think jamie dimon is more concerned about the derivatives language being discussed among some really left-wing democrats to be honest with you. the fact you will have businesses come back to life. >> in favor of loosening some restrictions on banks. this is generally good. both parties seem equally dissatisfied with what happened here. that is usually a pretty good sign. number one job of congress right now is not to screw anything up. >> jamie dimon has been, lobbyists for jpmorgan chase have been on the hill relentlessly since dodd-frank passed because of this derivative stuff. what is derivative stuff. you have to put derivatives off-balance sheet. you have to create another company to sell derivatives. that is not attached to the bank. cheryl: really quick in english for viewers don't know. basically an arm of the bank trading on behalf of the bank with the bank's money. >> that is english? >> get your dictionary. the other interesting thing -- >>

is there going to be a vote for the position that steny hoyer holds right now?'s happening there? >> we have our leadership team in place. we did those elections right after the general election. >> there will be no change and that's not going to be challenged at all? >> no. but i will continue to serve as the senior member on the budget committee and i believe the budget will present the democrats with a real opportunity to show the contrast between our approach to try and empower the american people from the bottom up and a review of the -- a repeat of the trickle down approach that the republicans have. and you're going to see in the coming weeks, ed, a number of proposals that a number of us are going to put forward to try to deal with this whole issue of wage stagnation. we have seeing growing productivity and wages flat. we need to change that and we've got some policy ideas to begin to do that. >> all right. congressman, chris van hollande. an "the ed show" favorite. thank you very much. >> you bed. >> coming up, the hard, cold truth. the rapid response p

ideologically and not as many of them, but there is a sense that, with nancy pelosi as the top leader, steny hoyer, all remaining on in their positions, it indicates that there is agitation among the younger and less senior members of the caucus. so how do you get at that? how do you tell someone who has been in congress, entering their seventh term, somebody that wants to be ambitious, maybe a tim ryan or someone like that, that decides to go to the senate, how do you get at taking people into leadership in a different way? >> that is interesting because i have been thinking a lot about that with respect to the congressional hispanic caucus. i will be the chairwoman next year. i know some of the implications of being a newer, younger member and really wanting to get involved in some of these meaty issues that i care about and affect my constituents. i think there are ways in which you can include younger and newer members, reaching out to them and inviting them to participate in ways that the old, sort of, seniority-only system does not allow them much input or impact. my goal is going to be to t

steny hoyer, the majority whip the majority leader they've had ongoing discussions. they believe this will get done. but it's going to be close. it's one of these things craig, in washington it's cliche but it's true nothing's agreed to until everything's agreed to. i will not believe this to be actual -- actually happening until i see 218. this is not a rubber stamp. it should stamp but you never know. how fitting this is the last major thing they have to do. >> 9:02 a.m. luke russert reporting this thing should get through. kristen, where does the white house stand on this? >> they haven't publicly endorsed the legislation. there's certainly some things they like about this legislation. it increases funding for the fight against ebola. for the fight against isis. it delays that fight over immigration until february. but they don't like what luke just mentioned. what you were just talking about. the fact it scales back frank and feingold. having said that there's acknowledgement they're getting a lot of pressure from left from senators like warren who say democrats

nancy pelosi and steny hoyer, the minority leader and the minority with full -- the minority with. john boehner who was the speaker and rarely ever votes on legislation decided to vote on this piece of legislation. he voted no. eric cantor voted now and the majority whip kevin mccarthy voted no. the entire leadership voted against it. all of the committee chairman -- chairmen that had any jurisdiction over this voted against it. yet we almost got half of the house of representatives to go against all of the leadership on both parties and all of the committee chairmen and ranking members. that gets us to an interesting point -- these folks who voted against that bill, it was like watching them put their hands in a wood chipper because i knew they were voting against the will of their constituents and they went home and did town halls, the ones that would still do them. i watched town halls from other congressmen on youtube for the same reason most people watch nascar. [laughter] it's for the pileups. if you try to convince your constituents you are pro-liberty and you're not and hav

you had elizabeth warren and nancy pelosi on one side and steny hoyer and president obama on the othere going to increase in the days ahead. leah: lisa, you say it's good to have a competitive primary going into the general election, so do you agree? >> i agree it's always good to have competition. i think that's what democracy's all about. i wouldn't say, though, this is a rift that can't be sod, and i think -- solved, and i think elizabeth warren and hillary clinton both want what's best for the party, and i think we should trust elizabeth warren as well fact that she's saying she's not running at least for now and she's going to be supportive of what the party puts forward. something she emphasizes that hillary clinton will have to deal with and add to her own platform. i feel like we could find a meeting of minds and move forward with one strong candidate. leah: lisa, you mentioned the $1.1 trillion spending bill, and elizabeth warren was known for having pushed back against rollback of the dodd-frank law. she's known for not necessarily tow iing the party line. >> well, i think wh

the change seemed to come when house democratic whip steny hoyer split with nancy pelosi and urged his colleagues to support it. >> i have concluded that it is better for us to pass this "cromnibus" as euphemistically referred to, to defeat it. i urge my members to vote for this crummy bus. >> while some -- "cromnibus". >> some members objected to this and that we did it in bipartisan fashion and it's a good bill. >> reporter: we should get a better sense of timing in the senate later this morning, mart. martha: thank you, mike. bill: the old "cromnibus." many conservative republicans are not happy with this. it delays the fight over executive action and immigration. utah senator mike lee argues that the spending bill contains breaks for big business but not everybody else. >> again we have special favors for wall street and for k street and no real special favors for main street or middle class americans. >> we'll talk with karl rove about that and what speaker boehner's grand strategy might be at work here and whether anything in wrong ton has changed after two elections. martha: has

. >> that was democratic whip steny hoyer taking aim at the republican bill we know will get a vote inng that the white house is teaming up with democrats to form an immigration strike team to counter that push back. this happens as senator ted cruz takes aim at speaker boehner's plan to avoid another government shutdown. benji, talk to me about this vote. what is in this bill? >> this bill has been revised, but essentially this is the vehicle for house republicans to express their did he say pleasure with president obama's executive action. it asserts that president obama doesn't have the authority to exempt undocumented immigrants from removal categorically, with some caveats for humanitarian reasons, for law enforcement reasons, but some conservatives are unhappy with this. it is a bit of a test vote. ted cruz was railing against meaningless show votes. some conservatives are worried this doesn't do much it isn't attacked too much, funding for the government that may make democrats worry about opposing it risking partial government shutdown. it is an interesting test case. they clea

boehner, for being here in the mist, and also i notice that another leader on the democratic side, steny hoyer, is also with us today. i'd like the thank our brave 10-year-old boy aaron for being here, we're very excited to have you light up this tree for us tonight. it is so -- [applause] fitting that our state is providing this huge christmas tree from the forest in minnesota. you should know that the town is almost home to a huge statue of paul bunion and babe the blue ox. and here's a fun fact, it would actually take more than four paul bunion statues to -- bunyan to reach the star on that tree. the minnesota logger of the year is a really big guy, he cut tree. i wanted to do it myself, but he took over. this tree then traveled 2,000 miles from the the chippewa forest, and i was at some of the events in minnesota. i was astounded by the thousands of school kids that would turn out just to see this tree. and with all the cynicism we can have sometimes in washington, it makes you realize that the people of this country and the children of this country still care that their tree from their st

meanwhile, you have steny hoyer encouraging folks to vote for it and the white house also encouraging have to remember why we're here now and we have to pass this spending package, because democrats failed to pass their appropriations bills. republicans in the house passed numerous appropriations bills in congress and debated for almost 90 hours in a transparent process and considered amendments. we're crisis to crisis about how soon democrats failed to do their jobs and next congress, republicans have the opportunity to set the nation's fiscal priorities, through a budget and returning the process to a regular order through a budget and appropriations bills. >> let me ask you about ted cruz, who says that he wanted to hold up the passage of the bill to get the senate to vote on the -- an amendment to block the president's action on immigration. is that going to be his consistent pattern moving forward, that he is going to stop every piece of legislation, he have nomination until there's a vote on trying to overturn an executive action? >> well, look, i disagreed with the government s

steny hoyer said that he is up in the air, that he won't say until he sees the bill. he left himself wide open. senator harry reid surprised a lot of people and came out and said, i could do that. i can vote for that bill. i think that that makes progress. a big accomplish is what he called it. so, if it gets over to the senate in that form, the idea is that it would probably pass. the question is: would boehner need the democratic votes in the house? and if he does, would nancy pelosi supply them? host: the up in the air question. host: so then, what happens? that gets them -- that brings the gavel down on the 113th congress. and then what happens next? guest: then they come back and the republicans have much more power in the next congress, they can push back against the immigration order, not only in the funding bill coming up in march, but there is also a push to expand the house lawsuit against the white house. right now, it's focused on obamacare but they want to expand it to immigration. they want to take the executive order to the courts. you know, there is a

impact of the of affordable care act, house minority whip steny hoyer on friday released a rundown of some of the impact on his webpage. here is a bit from that statement. "across the country, millions of americans are experiencing the benefits of the afford will care act, benefiting from the elimination of lifetime limits on coverage, protections for those with pre-existing conditions, measures that ban discrimination against women and other critical patient protections. through theent federal health insurance marketplace is off to a strong start, which -- with over 765,000 people signing up for plans in just the first two weeks." from twitter, tilt windmills writes in, "if the democrats are not going to. -- to adopt single-payer universal, then yes, adopting a plan literally drafted by the insurance companies was a waste." we want to hear just from democratic caller's for the next few minutes or so. frank is from walden, new york. good morning. caller: i think the affordable care act was a great idea. the only problem is that it should have been tweaked then and it should between no

let me tell you who voted no - nancy pelosi and steny hoyer, john boehner who was the speaker and rarely ever votes on legislation decided to vote on this piece of legislation. he voted no. eric cantor voted now and the majority whip kevin mccarthy voted no. votedtire leadership against it. all of the committee chairman that had any jurisdiction over this voted against it. yet we almost got half of the house of representatives to go against all of the leadership on both parties and all of the committee chairmen and ranking members. that gets us to an interesting point -- these folks who voted against that bill, it was like watching them put their hands in a wood chipper because i knew they were voting against the will of their constituents and they went home and did town halls, the ones that would still do them. town halls from other congressmen on youtube for the same reason most people watch nascar.

and then you had steny hoyerú the minority whip saying iuz even leader pelosi and minority whip hoyer on different sides of the aisle. so, or different sides of this issue. so, what we really have is nancy pelosi, the elizabeth warren in the senate, people who are at the outer edge of the far left wing of the democratic party who simply can't believe the fact that the voters spoke against them, elected republicans instead of democrats, and rejected their policies and the place up and they really wanted to shut the place down because there was some provisions of the bill they just didn't like. didn't like the provisions or in the case of senator elizabeth warren this in the last minute in the bill about government spending sudden suddenly what was jammed into it something about protecting banks. i thought it was an issue unrelated to spending and she didn't like it to begin with. did it really belong in a spending bill in terms of proposition bills about funding the government? >> when we go through appropriation process as the house and senate are supposed to. every member in the hous
