ted cruz. they are well-understood. senator ron johnson this weekend said what all of us were thinking. >> i don't believe that speaker boehner would be speaker if that happens. i think he would lose our speakership. that is my personal opinion. >> if he does another deal with taxes in it. they are equally ham strung. they are evident at nearly every moment. take yesterday. >> can broadcast from springfield put it this way. hold strong and do not give in to more spending. >> people don't come to texas because they want handouts. they come because they want an opportunity. >> the fact is that everybody involve side acting very rationally, looking through the lens of their own politics. the white house has to stop looking at this if they want to stop sequester. on this one it's not going to happen. they are going to have to make a calculation. do they want other stuff done and do they have to win every poker hand to win the long gain. how much do they want tax reform and are they willing to make a deal with just spending

ted cruz was saying, well, he might have thought this, or he might have done this. they are -- they are going in to areas of idle speculation about bizarre things. and this roots back to something, ed. we really have the better part of 30 years within the republican party of saying that you can't believe any mainstream media. and as a result, there is a tendency to reject "the new york times," "washington post," cbs, nbc, any mainstream media, they say that's just bias. so they push themselves further and further to the right for their sources of information. even rush limbaugh is suspect to some of these folks because he is too moderate. >> john nichols, washington correspondent of the nation. great to have you with us tonight. thank you so much. >>> granny get your gun. next i'll explain exactly how radical gun laws across america have deadly consequences. >>> some members of the beltway media are flat-out bent out of shape because they didn't get to see president obama and tiger play golf. they want full access. tonight the big panel exposes their hypocrisy.

that you attended that you reported on today when ted cruz made the allegation about the communist law professors wanting to overthrow the government? >> well, the thing you have to know about ted cruz is he is a terrific speaker. and he is a really powerful orator. and he had the audience up on their feet and cheering by the end of that speech. it ended with a quote from -- a letter from the alamo where he was quoting saying "victory or death", and "we are going to win." and they were all up and cheering. so i think, you know, it was a speech that was throwing red meat to his crowd, and they loved it, absolutely. >> is this one of those moments where it is sort of right-wing world and the rest of the world where it seems obviously mccarthyist and therefore problematic, just doesn't register that way in front of a more conservative audience, or does it register as something that joe mccarthy might say, but that's not seen as a bad thing? >> well, i do think it's an interesting question about whether the things that he has been saying in texas that go over really well there are playing as well in the u.s. senate. because in a way, i think th
