[applause] >> no question. >> taught, what surprised you the most and working with ted and getting to know him? that you can share with us? >> we've had a lot of great conversation. i think what surprised me, a click and go. we were in new mexico and i was trying to interview ted follett lives on the quail wagon and we have a different kind of interview that we carry on when ted has an audience. he knows how to play towards the crowd. that no publicly there is this very self reflect a person manner who doesn't -- you know, it's ironic that he created the modern media age and it's ironic that this notion of him exists. but behind the scenes, i just watch and channel all this information and he's a voracious reader. so what surprised me is how well read and how important he is. >> it's extraordinary to watch you on the properties and i'd say no place more so than the flying deep. gorbachev in the film was talking about how emotional you are and how is it spending time out here, even just sitting on the porch, being surrounded by this kind of magnificent? how is it being able to live wit

do you hear that, ted? even the detective knows your brother. thank you. sorry, he doesn't mean to patronize. we're all very proud of adlai. their son, he's staying with you? for now. charlene is going through a lot, and henry and our son are close. so, ted, we should be going. we're having a few people over. your sister-in-law is going as well? probably not. i believe that, uh, mr. ferrero will be consoling her tonight. he's been charlene's gardener for about a year. before she met him, she didn't want to water the lawn-- ted. your father's waiting. [car door clicking open] (lena) thank you, max. (max) sure thing, mrs. c. [car door slams shut] you know him? i think he worked the 4-0 with my dad. he was kind of a third responder. yeah, if mr. ferrero is her gardener, he'd have access to their house. yeah, and insecticides. the wife. she really slept with his corpse? then she brought gus ferrero, her gardener, to his funeral. the family thinks they're having an affair. that's their take, what's yours? they could be good for it. she's got a small rap sheet.

at least it builds character to put something like this together. >> ted: you bet.iam: they started on the roof after that putting up most of the trusses but they left things open over the great room. that was to leave some space for maneuvering in the decorative timber frame trusses which were very cool to see go in. >> ben miller: fortunately if we do our job right in the shop by the time we get here and if everything is labeled well it's just you know flip-flopping pegs into the holes. first we started off with taking our hammered posts connecting those to the collar tie and then we had our hammered beams. we were able to slide everything in with the king posts and struts and finally put the rafters on. and once everything lines up and you get it close you can just drive the pegs in and everything comes right together. >>miriam: and once those were done, the framers finished up the rest of the roof trusses and covered those with sheathing to get everything close to being dried in.

let me ask you, ted. f mine that makes movies said years ago you can't do a movie about politics. it has to be called a thriller. but now people love house of cards. and i think a hell of a lot of people i know like newsroom and these other slows like veep are fun. are they going to vote more? do they believe nor in democracy? are they watching these for some other reason? >> i would say these shows are thrillers and soap operas. that's what's changed. especially in the entertainment community. i think there's a much more cynical view than in the days of "west wing." >> what's that mean? do they think voting is more consequential? do they believe more in democracy or are they watching these for some perient reason? >> i would say these shows still are thrillers. they're soap operas. i think that's what's changed. especially in the entertainment community, i think there's a what's different than what they used to think? >> i think right here it means that you have these stories that are from their very crea

do you think that he is sending ted cruz a thank-you note this morning for that? he is being primaried on the right by the tea party. he has a tough race on the left. and now he's tagged with probably one of the most unpopular things across this country, shutting down the government. >> i think mitch did a very good job of showing good leadership in the last several days when he came out and said, in the press, i'm going on vote for cloture on the limiting debate. he didn't have to do that. if he was totally worried about a primary race, he might have gone a different direction. but it's leadership. that's what this is all about. and i think that's what he showed there. i think that's what you're going to see during the next 72 to a week -- 72 hours to an hour to the next week. >> let me forecast even ahead to the debt ceiling. do you think it was a smart strategy, senator casey, for president obama to come out early and say, he's not going on negotiate on this. and before anyone can walk in the room he has closed the door. >> look, the problem here with playing g

ted and linda, that's their car. - you know the owners of this car? - yeah. the stoddards. run the marina. they got a 42-foot rhodes yawl. a classic. they come out every thursday and work on it. "dr. feelgood." - ted sells medical equipment. got me a blood pressure thing half-price. - oh, yeah? - this explains the varnish stains. - oh. high tax bracket, but they're do-it-yourselfers. - people like puttering around their boats. ted and linda were into keeping this yar. - "yar"? - looking good. - "yar"? doesn't katharine hepburn say that in philadelphia story? she says it to-- - jimmy stewart. - to jimmy stewart. that's right. yah--yar. - detectives? - yes. - car's registered to a theodore stoddard. no priors, wants, or warrants. current address is listed as 429 lafayette. - this was thrown at the mirror. - a hospital gown. - the mud and dirt match the spot, so i'm guessing it was mr. stoddard. what, he didn't like wearing it? - watch winders. - people are actually that lazy? - well, some really fine watches have to be constantly wound. the question is, where are these--these

the reason you have people like ted cruz -- >> no, no. you need to accept that point, david. i'm not going to let you sit here and -- >> wait, wait. let's have peace. go ahead. >> the reason why this is happening is because a lot of republican voters are electing tea party members to the house, and now the same type of yahoos into the senate. the senate always moves slower than the house. we see the tea party in the senate happening now. it was rand paul earlier in the year. now ted cruz has filibustered over him, though this was a faux filibuster, as you pointed out. this is what it's about. the tea party tail is still wagging the gop dog. poor mitch mcconnell doesn't know which way to turn. the head of the republican party is on the side of ted cruz, as was just pointed out. you have republicans in the real world like you and a lot on planet bizarre. >> i'm not usually one to come to mitch mcconnell's aid. mitch mcconnell made a decision. >> he's getting hammered for this. >> he decided to air on the side of actually legislating as opposed to ted cruz. michael, alex altman

thank you for your service. >> thank you, master sergeant. >> thank you very much. >> and thank you, tednd eddie, and i could not get that like they could and i felt that their spacing was better than i could. so thank you to you both. >> and moving on to the progre ing adult and talking about web corp they do the work directly with mission hiring haul and city build with the adult and not just veterans as well and they have continued to work on that mission hiring hall for a lot of the administrative components and city build for trades and they have been successful connection there. and now as i wrap it up with basically some reporting trends. and all of the trends and they do have a one to five ratio apprentice to the journey man and we are getting the goals in all of the trades besides the laborers and the operators and that is such as the electricians and the cement masons and everything that is outside of those two, pile drivers and surveyer and welders which we have a lot of, with all of that shoring out there. so we are definitely exceeding our goal of the 16 and 2 thirds percent

we are going to have dennis present that but i also want to mention for the veteran's part, ted wang and you have met him before and he will be reporting on a few items and we have a special today, eddie ramerez who will be joining ted as well to give information on what we are doing with the veterans and so dennis, please? >> good morning good moments and i appreciate the opportunity to give me first presentation with this quarterly update i do have experience in the senior compliance fer and so it seemed like to be a good fit when bob used to do these position and now me filling in those shoes and that is where i come in with that kind of a background to dive right in. and to the pla. so we had our first project labor agreement meeting on august 22 and i am going to go through the meeting update and what is current and in the near future and update and also will have an apprentice up to date update regarding students, veterans which ted and eddie will cover. and then i will wrap it up with the labor and operators the adults program. >> august, 22nd, when we met with the pla. we went over t

coming out on the side of ted cruz. so here you have the rnc, which is the umbrella organization that's supporting all republicans, standing in solidarity with ted cruz while mitch mcconnell is opposing what he's doing on the senate floor. that, as one republican aide said to me, was more of the establishment ranks, looks deeply dysfunctional to our chief donors and shows the party from where we are right now. democrats sit back dumb founded. democrats know there's a lot of political liability with this bill but as long as ted cruz does this, the focus is on him, his ego, whatever he's doing here in washington, d.c. so they're more than happy to led ted cruz take center stage and go as long as he wants. thomas, this could be the first of a few of these types of long-winded speeches wlr, wheth they be fill busters or whatever you want to call them. we could see more. >> luke russert reporting for us. thanks, buddy, appreciate it. in total, eight republican senators were there to help cruz make it through the night, including, as we

you vote against it. the republicans are divided, angry at one another. and the folly of tedtrategy is becoming apparent. i think it makes it more likely that they will just send us a clean cr after they strip us the writers that they have put in. >> do you think that john boehner, the speaker of the house, is able to corral a house to get the democrats to vote his way, where he can get 217 votes for a clean cr? >> well, john boehner knows the right thing to do. you can see the pain in his face and his body language, because he knows that ted cruz is leading the party over a cliff, but too many people are following ted cruz, there will be enough to say john, put the caucus on the table and we'll vote with you. if there are 118 of them, i think there is a good chance there will be. >> what does the republican party look like across the aisle? you have been there a number of years, is the rather than party still the party of john mccain and people like that? >> well, cruz -- cruz and paul have a huge influence. not themselves, personally so much. but you know, the sort of right

what do you think of ted cruz's efforts? i'm going to put you on hold for a second. please make sure you mute your -- set.t caller: thank you for taking my call. it is kind of sickening that harry reid is like a spoiled child right now. he is not getting his one little toy and he is going to shut down the government. yet they want to blame the republicans for that when it passed the bill that finances our entire government to continue running. it is just sickening that they continue playing the same old childish games in something that is so serious as our livelihoods. host: what is going on on the senate floor is a now six hour- long speech by ted cruz and other reporters on defunding the

what do you make of ted cruz not being able this time to intimidate more republican senators into coming to his side during the show? i think it is long overdue. hopefully the moment was the bridge too far moment. you will see leaders in the party speak up against it. stop being with the talk radio hosts and take conservatism good name back. by any objective measure, john is a good conservative. an effective conservative. a serious man. and, that he is being attacked is betraying the conservative movement by the outside groups is completely ludicrous. so if you look at the reality. and five u.s. senate seats. over the last two cycles. nominating deeply flawed candidates imposed on the party by -- low turnout primary voters who are very much in the ted cruz wing of the -- of the party. we have paid a high political price for it. i think increasingly for people who want to win the next presidential election. limbaughism, cruzzism is not the path to victory. unless and until our elected leaders stand up against this, we will have a difficult time. so i think you will increasingly see republ

and what do you think ted cruise did? >> house republicans versus senate conservatives. >> it's easy to focus on the political back and forth. >> defund the president's health care plan. >> obamacare isn't working. >> here in the house we will lead. >> speaker john boehner is caving to tea party pressure. >> i want to commend speaker boehner. >> this is playing with fire. >> i'm not doing that. i'm not doing that. >> guess what? we are going to win the fight over here and get the job done >> i want to commend speaker boehner or leading. >> unimpeachable leadership skills. >> this is a moment for republicans to unite. >> this is playing with fire. >> just going to end in disaster for the republicans. >> you are entitled to your own opinion. but you are not entitled to your own facts. >> they do not have the votes. >> they're going to fail. >> why is john boehner doing this? >> i want to commend speaker boehner for leading. >> ted cruise still refuses to back down. >> ted cruise is running to be rush limbaugh. >> he can't k

ted, thank you. >> greta: ted, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> gunman aaron alexis had brush was the law in several states. rick leventhal is back with more on that. rick thrk man's background is what? >> people wondering how he got security clearance at all. as we have learned he was arrested in 2004 in seattle, washington. police say he shot out tires of a vehicle brong belonging to a construction crew working next door saying he shot out tires of the vehicle apparently upset over the noise they were making or parking situation. that was ongoing because of the construction in the neighborhood. then, in 2010, he allegedly shot a round through the ceiling of his apartment into the neighbor's apartment upstairs because he had an ongoing dispute about the noise she made in that apartment. the neighbor claims he confrontedner a parking lot friar to the shooting and scared her. she says she was terrified of him. police got to him, they pounded on the door he can't come out. he talked to police and told police he was cleaning his weapon and shot by accident. police apparently didn't buy that

ted cruz filibustered him. yout know that behind the scenes, the russians were messing with him. at the end of a long hard day, he escaped into the sweaty and frayed embrace of the clintons. >> that is a bad day, who have to explain and defend the president's own health care plan for him at their global initiative conference, hillary 2016 pep rally. the choreography of diplomacy danced around the tantalizeing possibility of an historic handshake that could end three decades of poison, even a brief encounter wasn't brief enough. maureen, you have outdone yourself. that was a good one. >> the president having a tough day. >> one of many. we were in the press profile one of the networks had a split screen. you had obama with bill clinton. rouhani on the floor of the u.n. and ted cruz. who put this group together? unbelievable. who else is going to join that crowd? it was a tough day at the u.n. what i think is so fascinating about the missed opportunity with rouhani is all the speculation was the result of the white h

if you are about ted cruz and you care about yourself interest here. this is great politics. because, you know, he is, he is rising at the expense of the party. at the expense of the congressional brand. i think what's important to remember as you watch this play out. so many republicans pointed out by governor dean. get driven off the cliff by this stuff. we have given up five u.s. senate seats over the last two election cycles. by the nomination of the tea party crazies. by any one of the number of states. it's not clear if we won't add to the count as we move forward into 2014. or maybe lose some more as we follow that version of the tactics here. >> steve, can you steam out the cruz presidential campaign after iowa? how far does this get him in a presidential, republican presidential primary? >> look, what has always driven the ballot in a republican presidential primary is electability. most conservative person seen as being able to within a general election secures the nomination. that's true until the year that it's not. i think you can do well in iowa. i don't think h

i'm guessing that's less than the price of ted cruz's famous ostrich-skinned cowboy boots. i'll tell you what's sick, ted cruz's entire act was to strip atway health care from 30 million americans. but it doesn't matter to him. after the circus act, cruz got into a bmw and took off. and then he reported directly to the leader of the republican party, rush limbaugh. going on his radio show for 30 minutes. why? because it's all about him. all about attention. all about how much fox news camera time you can get. but rude awakening for senator cruz. john mccain had it right today. the senate voted unanimously to move ahead with its vote today. hey, republicans, the people spoke. you lost. it's over. joining me now are joy reed and abbey huntsman. thank you both for being here tonight. >> thanks, rev. >> an extraordinary moment today, john mccain speaking for a lot of fellow republicans saying we lost today. >> and rev, you're absolutely right. and it's interesting, because john mccain has in his history in politics pandered to the very right wing that he is criticizing. so he has had that in

you know what, ted cruz? level of threat you say we face from obama care isn't met by the quality of solution and the rhetoric that you offer. reminds me of a character you once red about by i believe one of your favorite authors, dr. suess, his beloved children's book, the borax. join me now as i read a favorite section. [laughter] in the land of d.c. and the senate of snooze, live the show bodius blab whose name was ted cruz. ted talked about healthcare, compared it to nazis. as comparisons go, he was off by a lotsy.

so you get the anonymous republican source, cnn "balls" comment, but you also get an unnamed house republican aide, calling senator ted cruz a, quote, joke, plain and simple. you get a republican operative allied with house leadership, describing ted cruz as, quote, idiotic position and saying ted cruz, quote, officially jumped the shark this week. another senior house republican aide telling "the huffington post," if there is no plan to get the defunding obama care provision passed in the senate, or even a plan to fight to get it passed in the senate, then what we're talking about isn't a plan to defund obama care, it's just a plan to shut down the government and hope for the best. that is not a great plan. this is all republicans talking about other republicans. it's just chaos. it's not just a day of like long knives in republican politics. today is a day of long knives when everybody has them out and is using them in a mosh pit. look away. the king of them all, the winner has to be the anonymous, what do they say? the phrase was senior house republican leadership source, who told ryan grim at "the huffington post"

you. >> i mean, dana, you've reported on ted cruz and followed his political rise. what is he doing right now? i mean, what's his end game? >> well, it's not really a matter of an end game. you have to understand this really isn't about obama care. it's not really about the budget. it's not really about anything but ted cruz right now. so he's out there, yes he's saying the things you're talking about. he's also informed us that he likes white castle hamburgers, his dad was good at making green eggs and ham. he went on and on about the family history. talking about the black ostrich cowboy boots he likes to wear but today he's wearing more comfort. his colleagues said please don't do this. you're hurting republicans, you're hurting us. you're not helping the case of obama care. he said you know what? i'm going to do it anyway because it's helping his most important cause and that is ted cruz. >> but dana, there's no point to this. i mean, there's no hope that he will stop this today. there's really no point he's after other than himself here. >> the whole point of fi

any advice you can give senator ted cruz? ad an inkling with this and elsewhere that they are going to go slow, don't go crazy, do not ignite the crazies. we can do this, we can win is if you just moderate the tone. what do you say? >> i say that sometimes the worst attacks can come from your friends and your own party. what you have to do is realize who it is that you are speaking for her. ted cruz did that admirably and he knew who he was speaking for. the american job provider. he will hold a true north and you have to do that. it's very quickly and you have to realize why you are here. you are here to fight for what you believe in and you don't let washington get to you. i see in him a man of great strength let that happen was going to continue to be a strong voice. i am for ted cruz and executed a wonderful job and he inspired people. neil: there is an agenda in their a lot of people that don't know who this guy is. early on, i remember in the presidential callings. i believe that there was a concerted effort that was del

ted cruz. i would note that you played ted cruz saying he's not mr. cleej yalty. i would say 75% to 80% of the rhetoric in that 21 hours and 19 minutes was devoted to calling out republicans. ted cruz praised people like bernie sanders, the independent who caucuses with democrats for his filibuster. he said he understood why harry reid was doing what he was doing. he understood why democrats were taking the approach they took to obama care. he really saved kind of the rhetoric for his own side. why weren't more republicans there? he called some of the procedural votes that republicans had advocated for fake and phony. he knew what he was doing, and i'm sure he knew that the likes of john mccain were not going to be happy about it. >> mark halperin, what is the next step? you have a dysfunctional congress, house and senate. now we have the funding bill. we have the debt ceiling. jack lew says the money will run out. >> there's a side show we've observed for the last 20-plus hours with ted cruz. but it's meaningful. it weakens the republicans' hand going into the sh
