Conference. i thought we would throw him a life line. i said fine, well to go conference. all we want you to do is open the government. i went through a litany of things we would be happy to talk about or anything else he wanted to talk about. we said well be happy to talk about discretionary spending. well talk about agriculture. well talk about parks, health care, well talk about anything that you want to talk about. and he says, no. all he want to do is go to conference on a short term cr. we...

People. the collective wisdom. not only congress and the presidents approval rating is down, there is a jen rgenuine c of confidence. i think in the six-month or 12-month window here, i dont think anybody wins. >> the "wall street journal," i keep going back for people who dont understand it. this is a republican crisis right now. the republican party is desperate to get out of the crisis of their own making, of a couple of members of the senate and house. what have you heard on the hill? what h...

New customers. theyre pretty happy with it. the chamber of commerce fought an aggressive war against obama care, but they lost. theyre ready to move on. they dont want to have to keep dealing with these shutdowns and crisis economy. they want certainty moving forward. >> i want to bring jeremy back in. there seems to be one potential crack in the gops sort of full-throated opposition and their insistence of tying the affordable care act to the cr you have a small number of purple state republica...
