south carolina's tim scott, one of the house republican freshman class, voted no on the plan. let me ask you, yesterday, you voted new. part of the second installment. is that what won over? >> i was no and when it include the balanced bunt, that was it for me. cuts and balance. i don't agrudge those who voted against it. but i felt it deserved a yes vote. >> why was was it not good enough for you. >> at the end of the day for me, it was moving the balanced buget amendment to the first tier of the debt ceiling increase. >> i understand and respect your position on that. you know in that building there, you don't have the votes to get it through the senate. even if you could, the president of the united states said he doesn't want it. what the democrats are trying to say f you drop that, we would probably get a deal. but you won't drop it because -- listen to chris von hallen. >> in the last 24 hours, we confirmed what many people suspected. what the tea party republicans may be be noisy and effective protest movement but they are unfit to govern. they are unfit to govern. >> t

let's check in with congressman tim scott.reshmen of the republican caucus, also one of the tea party members who came to washington promising to do bold things when it comes to the debt and spending. speaker boehner was saying today, i want to negotiate with the president, i want to cut a deal, but i have to be able to pass in it the house of representatives. how short of a leash is the speaker on because of demands of freshmen like yourselves and other members of the tea party? >> i wouldn't say the speaker is on a leash at all. what i hear the speaker saying consistently and these are things we agree with. number one, the $2.4 trillion increase must have a $2.4 trillion offset in spending over the next ten years. and number two, we simply cannot increase taxes. >> now, when you say no higher taxes, is that higher rates or does that also mean closing loopholes, taking away tax deductions for the big oil companies, is that okay with you? >> i think that we ought to look for parity in our corporate tax environment and one of t

joined now by south carolina congressman tim scott. a freshman elected with strong tea party support. we do appreciate that congressman scott. good to have you with you this morning. it has been said that it is this group of south carolina congressmen versus the world. you are a very tight group. you have been holding firm to your tea party values on this. is there anything that's going to happen that is going change your mind and will this vote on the boehner bill go forward today? >> i hope we do have boehner 2.0. as the bill stand today i'm simply a no. it has everything to do with saving the american dream for the next generation. there is very little we are doing do that will pass on to the next generation the american dream. i was born in a single parent household with a mother who had to work 16 hours a day at times. i'm thinking about her. i'm thinking about those who work at the factory 12-14 hour a day in the heat so their children can go to college and have a better future. martha: i have a couple quick questions. boehner 2.

south carolina republican tim scott. congressman you were feeling the pressure and you were on stand by for speaker boehner in case he needed you, and he had his votes, but you would have been ready to vote for this. >> at the end of the day, why i voted no, south carolina voted no, it doesn't go far enough to address the financial crisis that looms in america. there's only 7 billion dollars of actual cuts the first year out of a trillion dollars. simply put that that was simply not enough and having the balanced budget amendment attached to the second tranche as relates to the debt ceiling increase was insufficient as well the we'd loved to have seen it on the front end. >> neil: you're telling me that it was real close and that 14-15 or there, and you would not have helped the spooker out? >> all decisions get more difficult as we get closer to the end. if i had decided to vote no and colleagues talking about it come to a process and come to our conclusion, so, this vote would not have averted a crisis that we're havin

mick mulvaney, trey gowdy, jeff duncan, and tim scott. they have been among the hardest votes for john boehner to get. >> i think it's fair to say each of us was offered something for our vote in the last couple days over this. >> reporter: now as the debt ceiling debate heads to the brink, these holdouts hear what others in washington are calling them. >> neanderthal, radical, revolutionaries. >> reporter: but are you worried that the narrative... your refusal to go along could send the country into a spiral of default and plunging stock markets and escalating mortgage prices? >> what is one person's intransigence is another person's deeply held convictions. >> reporter: with the pressure increasing, they look to one another for support. thursday night, three of them met in a small chapel to pray. >> we spent some time talking and praying and looking at the word for some confirmation. >> reporter: these deeply held convictions mean they won't be easily swayed. >> we're here to fix the system. we're not here to do deals for the sake of do

joining me with their take are south carolina congressman tim scott who decided to vote against the bill and texas congressman michael burgess a member of the tea party caucus. guys, welcome to the program. >> thanks very much. >> congressman burgess, from what i understood you were kind of vascillating today? >> yesterday i was undecided yesterday and possibly even leaning a little bit toward the negative side. i was up all night with the morning of the legislation and historical documents related to prior shutdowns and debt limit excursions. on tuesday none of us knows what is delegate to happen. most of us feels that timothy geithner has put an arbitrary deadline throughout. we seed the narrative. look what he did with social security and veterans threats injuries the fact of the matter remains if we don't defeat this president we don't get to take this healthcare bill off the backs of the american people. that is what is at stake here. >> sean: i understand the dilemma you are in. let me throw another narrative at you. harry reid says not going to happen, dead an on arrival. say this

campaign on the pledges that they made would have been atlanticing one particular member tonight tim scotta freshman, two freshman named for the first time ever in the history of congress. a freshman delegate to the leadership. that was a huge deal that the leadership made a freshman a member of the leadership in essence. guess what, he has announced he is not going to vote for the boehner bill. that he was how he has been repaid. a number of people who told boehner and cantor at the beginning of the congressional session at the beginning of the year, you guys are making too big of a deal out of theist guys freshman elected in a wave election like lots of people who have spoiled them. they have been spoiled apparently. >> laura: what's the end game. >> the election, perhaps. >> laura: if, in fact, we see -- we have already seen 480 point market drop, if this thing doesn't go through. if, in fact, we push this issue of raising the debt ceiling off and it goes into next week, most people think the markets are going to continue to go down and, perhaps, collapse. we don't know but people are w

tim scott a republican from south carolina says he has received divine wisdom he is still a. no but he is praying for our company wisdom. country desperately needs it meanwhile you mentioned the whipping operation if you will. key leadership folks, speaker boehner, majority leader eric cantor pulling in no republicans, undecided americans and do the last minute arm twisting to get to the 216 votes necessary to pass the boehner debt plan out of the house, shep? >> rarely in this business have i seen something played as so important that we will do absolutely nothing because if this does pass the house. it will not pass the senate -- >> senator harry reid has the option if it does get to the united states. essentially calling up a procedural vote that will show to the house of representatives that this is not going to pass the united states senate. then they move on to plan b or perhaps plan c: bottom line new york democrat chuck schumer said this is all a waste of time. take a listen. >> throwing a hot potato over to us that won't pass just delays things a day. we are simply f

debates and forums, we act as a filter for candidates running for the white house, but the latest is tim scottth carolina congressman, he is going to be holding a series of town halls down in his district. in fact, the first one's going to be august 7th with jon huntsman. a little later in the month, august 25th, michele bachmann will appear. he says he's going to have all the questions come from the audience, they'll pick them out, whatever the question is, he will ask the candidate. this is pretty interesting, because on labor day, we'll see senator jim demint, south carolina senator, he's holding a similar type of forum. in the past it's been the media, been us, we've done a good job of it, but now the lawmakers want to get involved as well. >> i'm sure they do. mark, i want to ask you to stick around. this is rare. no real news value to this story, but this video has gone viral and we have to share this video of two dogs, one starts with a fight with his friend, then you see that? he gets bitten, then boom, this dog actually plays dead, then he gets up, does it again. you've got to watch t

tim scott of south carolina is now behind the bill, and the club for protest drop its ownerition to the amendmed of record we wanted treated a bit from just a short while ago in the house rules committee. in the house rules committee. >> thank you. i move the committee or pull a rule for consideration of s627. the amendment printed in committee report accompanying the resolution should be considered adopted. >> you have heard the motion. i hope everybody got a good night's sleep. it was 12 hours and 55 minutes ago that we left here pretty close to that as we were approaching midnight, and as i said last night," we did not have the votes to pass a measure, and we feel strongly about the need to ensure that we increase the debt ceiling and do so for the first time ever, bringing about spending cuts which the american people are supportive of. the rule before us will said the s627 that the debt increases -- a balanced budget amendment is sent to the states for ratification. we know the package before us, the boehner plant, has many of the elements that are included in the ieid poll that st

tim scott, he said we probably need three or four more votes to go before they can wind up with the majority then send it to the senate where it will be doa. >> it seems like there's some confusion about how many votes they actually need if you read the front page of drudge this morning, it seems there may be 11 tea party votes floating out there. others say there may be a handful of them. a lot of eyes pointing to the south carolina delegation which went over to the chapel yesterday to pray on this vote and they were joking among themselves. they said the leadership must be saying, what's up with these guys from south carolina who are steadfastly saying salutedly no? -- absolutely no, we're not going to vote for this thing. >> the only thing that we can say this morning is we have no idea what's going to happen rather than why john boehner bring this to vote unless he knew he had the votes unless people at the last minute -- keep in mind, there's a flurry of e-mails all day yesterday from the political group coming out to all of us who work here at fox because there was everything changing

it included tim scott who is a freshman representative from south carolina. he t justweeted --- no indication about where he stands on a possible vote on the john boehner package later today. , if it comes back on the floor. we will wait along with reporters for senate democrats. our republican line, go ahead. caller: i would like to say that the cut, cap back, and balance bill was passed by congress and sent to the senate should be voted on. the republicans presented a bill and i think the senate should give it a chance. unless they are afraid it will pass. i don't know what the democrats in the senate what they think. nancy pelosi and harry reid are blocking passage of this perfectly good bill. it would be good for everybody. as far as social security s , it is a special account and of people stop dipping into it, we would be taking care of. i am also on social security. i have given up a lot because of the high cost of living. if our cost of living and social security would be raised according to the real cost of livin in the country, that would be more fa

i would also like to take a moment to thank tim scott for his leadership on behalf of workers and for his leadership in congress. last week, the house a vacation work force committee approved protecting jobs. the labor relations board should not be empowered to tell a business where it can and cannot locate employment. mr. chairman, taking advantage of your offer to have this included in its entirety, let me summarize. the labor relations act involves relations between labour and employees. the board is supposedly prostituted of five members. it has a decade after decade shifted back and forth with the majority of republican and democrat members. each site complains about the board year after year. in this case, the acting general counsel, this case being a decision concerning boeing, rolled up -- i understand this is an ongoing process -- ruled that boeing could not establish a plant in south carolina. they had already hired over 1000 employees. that ruling has set a chilling affect back -- in effect across the country as potential employers make decisions on where they want to put t

tim scott is nothing more than an extension of the right wing extremists who were swept into office last november. many of them in this congress, 20 state legislatures changing control, and too many governor'' mansions now controlled by those who simply want to turn the clock back on workers and their representatives. this is not by accident. this is an orchestrated, organized, principal attempt to simply destroying america's labor movement, which is responsible for representing the rights of workers. workers that should have an even playing field to be able to select someone to represent their interests. let me make sure you understand. i do not believe this is rhetoric on my part. this bill is a direct extension of the work developed by the american legislative exchange council. this is a group that many do not have any knowledge about. it is an organization that flies under the radar screen but it is an organization supported by over 300 corporations and funded by the koch brothers, who donated $200,000 last year, and the castle rock foundation, exxonmobil, and so many more that fund

. >> host: congressman tim scott has said it would be impeachable for the president to find a way around congressional authority to raise the debt ceiling. >> guest: sure. i think people who are concerned that the ft. may make this move and are concerned that that may give the president more leverage in these discussions, i think, want to raise the stakes that the president doesn't do this. one can argue, of course, was impeachable? high crime and misdemeanor or not. even if one agrees that what the president is doing is unconstitutional. i think that would be unusual, unusual to pay that an interpretation of the law by the president would amount to an impeachable offense. the reality is the impeachable offense is whatever the congress says it is. >> host: the congress refers to the part of the congress that says that only congress has the power to borrow money on the credit of the united states. >> guest: absolutely. and this is forms a strong part of the argument for those that claim the president cannot ignore the debt ceiling. ordinarily, we need to have legislation for the president
