Because cr because crabs are a big deal. drive the economy forward. the watermen go out on the chesapeake bay, fishing all day for crabs. earlier at 9:00 they had a drop of this big guy behind me. they dropped it for the little kids. they gathered around. drefsed up as seafood. jelly fish. sharks. crabs everything you could imagine. so they could see the crab drop before midnight when theyre going to be warm in their beds. the rest of us will be here for the rest of the night. youve really need ...

Policies on illegal immigration and also common core. >> how big a challenge? >> i think its going to be an immense challenge because i dont think that youre going to be able to go out and win presidential nomination without really, you know, i dont want to say kowtowing to, but fiscal responsibility, individual sovereignty, free market and free enterprise system and our strong national defense because our militarys being decimated. those are five key points that any republican nominee is going ...

Any republican nominee is going to have to stress. >> im very disappointed in john boehner in the house. for example, he had to go to barack obama, joe biden, steny hoyer and harry reid to get this deal. he didnt talk to any of the conservatives in his caucus when he made this cromnibus bill last week. whats 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 ...

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. weve lost that. half of the new congress wont be able to do anything. >> lets look at the field as karl was describing it, senator cruz, rubio, kasich, walker and a few others, mike huckabee and rick santorum in the race. who do you think has the greatest possibi...

Done. >> quite a bit done. and this was really the culmination of months of work for those negotiators on the democratic side and the republican side who have been trying to find a way to fund the government for more than one of those short-term crs. and this is a bit of a combination. because what we have come to know is the term cr, continuing resolution, there is one piece of that. thats for the department of homeland security. it gets a chunk of funding to get it through to february. all the...

Going to do, postpone and pass a short term cr that will go until december 17th, midnight december 17th, which allows them to have a couple more days to go through the procedural hurdles, so they will come back and work on the terrorism, insurance bill that they have been working, tax extenders, and the real delay on this because democrats want to focus on getting through a bunch of the nominations they have been working on before they give up the majority effectively once they leave for the yea...

Funding bill, when it put off the fights that was the issue. but whether or not nancy pelosi was right or not, she had more leverage in february or now, well never know. whether or not ted cruz and mike lee the republican caucus house on the right, well never know. they felt come february, well have more power. >> what happens in february, first of all? second of all, is is this what were seeing for the next few years? what this was, this was a bill to keep the government open then its we wanted...

Hoyer in all of this. and i think its pretty simple. i think the reason that obama would support him and biden and reid would support him is because they knew that the speaker would have more power and leverage if they did a cr into february. so the question is, why did john boehner do this? i understand why the president did, because i think this was a great deal for the president. >> yeah. theres no question, i was just talking to republican members of congress including conservatives who supp...

President biden. and as you can imagine this measure did not sit well with a number of conservatives including me and including congressman jim bridenstein. he put out this tweet explaining why. i think it quotes it very well. he says, here are just the five of the main reasons i will be voting now on the omnibus bill that fully funds obamacare, over 1600 pages long, actually 1774, and spends $1.1 trillion filled with political favors. here with reaction minnesota congresswoman michele bachmann ...
