Worried about parts of it, about how it looks exempting federal workers, the idea of the tax on medical advices, which is already retarding r & d. we are a country with the most sophisticated with medical advices and everything of that sort in the world. this is going to crush it by taking away a lot of the cash thats used for r & d. so they know there are issues in here. but repeal is a bridge too far for them. i think when youre going to do something that could shut down the government or hold...

Up the resolution tonight, which would be a big deal. were monitoring that as we speak. first, steve, you have some other news about the -- how things are shaping up here and the possible effort by republicans to avoid a government shutdown. >> right. expanding on what we talked about last night with house republican strategy and also what ed henry reported earlier, in a house republican whip meeting just now, the basic outlines of a plan are this -- the house will pass this weekend a debt limit...

Against it. the republicans are divided, angry at one another. and the folly of ted cruz strategy 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 an...

Had a vision of lois lerner making license plates in a federal prison. now im kind of picturing her in an island drinking a drink with an umbrella on it. and now i picture her using our tax 5by9money, this is just cr >> this is the thing about it, she had spent the summer on administrative leave, which she has a right to do. and you actually -- i dont know what to say. i mean, it is sort of the gall of it. she wont testify or tell us what happened. >> exactly. >> the thing that -- ordinarily i ...

The house, i said this. the house republicans, in my opinion, heros, stepping up, doing exactly what we want. pass the cr that defunds obamacare. i dont understand, why doesnt, whats the daily callers take on why ted cruz is like that? >> well, i cant speak for all of my colleagues, but what we have here is just a really weird situatio situation. >> then he has to essentially filibuster it because they have to filibuster it. >> the people in the house of representatives who pass the cr, people l...

>> congressman frost, to bring us back a little in time, you called then speaker newt gingrich, my cnn colleague, you called him a crybaby over the 1995 shutdown. take us down to that -- trip down memory lane. >> bob lee came before the rules committee to seek a rule for a cr, same situation. that morning gingrich had been interviewed. he had been to the breck past and belly ached about the fact he had been mistreated when he was -- on the delegation to the funeral in israel. and he was going to...

>> jerred, how do you see this playing out? >> first of all, let me say, listening to that last clip you played by ted cruz reminded me of my 11-year-old daughter when she was 7 or 8 and she had a friend come over and they would make up the rules to a game they were going to play. it has an ad hoc quality that had nothing to do with procedure. its actually possible for a bill to get back to the house even if its on sunday that a week from today, next monday on the 30th, the last day of the fisca...

The senate majority leader, the top democrat in the senate, took aim at that idea. >> the united states should pay its bills, and they should pay them on time. i want to be very, very clear again. the senate will not pass any bill that defunds or delays obamacare. whether its a cr or a debt ceiling. >> senator ted cruz may continue talking throughout the course of 9ar but bottom line is the senate will vote -- an initial vote on this continuing resolution to fund the government probably midday t...

Understand this is creating a huge unnecessary vulnerability for them and they are going to get slammed. i have a question for our image experts -- >> oh, great. >> donny and joe. >> when did joe -- excuse me. >> joe was in congress. heres the question. suppose ted cruz wakes up this morning, slams himself in the forehead h and says, im such an idiot. >> chances of that happening are nil. >> i know. it wont happen. but, you know, in a parallel universe, suppose it happened. how does he climb dow...

1st sign-up dates as obama care was about to be implemented it was entirely possible that republicans were going to not be talking about obama care at all and what you had from senator cruz and senator lee and others were attempts to make it part of the debate. i think theyve chosen the wrong vehicle or vehicle not likely to work now but at least its part of the debate did a few seconds. one-year delay, is that the off-ramp? >> well, you know, they can try that. that will not fly either. i think...
