First to surrender on obama care. how is this going to be received in wisconsin? >> well take some hits from some of his base. theres no doubt about that. but as you can see here, ed, hes already spinning in so many circles. so he may get away with this, but i think he has telegraphed where a lot of republicans are really going. at the end of the day, they are starting to accept parts of this plan. >> john nichols, washington correspondent, good to have you with us tonight. coming up, senate r...

Youll vote for this budget that doesnt have any hoop holes closed and it guaranties they wont be threatening down a shutdown. >> remember, were going to keep talking. if you dont think folks like sheila jackson-lee and matt cartwright are going to keep their voices raised, you have another thing coming. >> you kept talking about health care and john paper voted 45 times to repeal it. how can you trust the republicans on this budget deal? >> thats the basic problem is you cant trust them on this,...

And theyre living high off the hog on that. when you say 240,000 jobs would be lost because of the failure to extend this, its because thats money that goes right back into the economy. >> exactly. >> its not going into their brokerage accounts. >> congresswoman, what did the republicans give up here? what are they bringing to the table? >> first of all, let me say i want to join with my good friend to say back to you, ed, thank you for the fight. im not even going to say for the passion, but fo...

Thing. then suddenly he gets in a room with some conservative folks up in new york and says maybe we can use parts of it. >> thats the key word. he told the national review online, the state exchange is useful. now, thats like saying obama care is useful, which flies in the face of everything hes said everywhere. >> exactly right, ed. look, the point of obama care has always been to create a more rational structure for delivering health care. its not what i would like. i would like a single paye...

Able to have the insurance continued for the unemployed, which by the way is not a handout. i was on the floor of the house when the budget debate began. i dont like the words of my good friend, the chairman of the budget committee. when one of the points was made weve stopped the criminals from getting unemployment insurance. obviously thats going to cause us to roll up our sleeves even more. >> theres no job creation, theres no big infrastructure investment here whatsoever. >> youre right, but...

No common sense relief, for example, like the proposal before congress now to allow students to refinance their student loan debt the same way homeowners refinance their mortgage. i mean, just common sense, reasonable policies for people who dont have a lot of money. and thats where millennials and gen xors are. >> john fugelsang, it seems we can now find the moderate republicans in the third way. >> well, i think youre right. and im always moderately shocked when moderate democrats say the part...

This stuff is not working. of course you have to move on. youre anti-woman, antiblack, racist, anti-immigrant. its the same old play book. they are regurgitating the same things and they are frustrated. i think they thought obama would come into office and the country would be transformed. they havent succeeded in transforming the country as they thought they would do. that makes them angry. >> they are lashing out like a child would and their vision isnt working out. thats a good theory. >> ed ...
