>> ryan, what do you think about this sorting out the debt ceiling limit? obviously any ceilings worldwide, that this is going to get fixed are going to have an immediate calming effect. what do you think about the procedural timeline in order to get that squared away? >> according to harry reids office they have heard nothing from the republicans in terms of moving forward on the debt ceiling. so that part is not hopeful. but they have an absolute awful relationship with the boehner staff and p...

Mccutchen versus federal election in a case that will determine the overall limits on what an individual can give to candidates, political parties, and political action committees in a two-year election cycle. which means more money in politics. just what we all need. for more now, im joined by nbc justice correspondent, pete williams. pete, the actual amount you can give to a candidate is not being challenged here. but rather the aggregate limit that you can give to all candidates or all politi...

Associated press. take a listen to this. >> i recognize that in todays media age, being controversial, taking controversial positions, you know, rallying the most extreme parts of your base, whether its left or right, is a lot of times the fastest way to get attention or raise money. but its not good for government. >> ryan, virginias gop gubernatorial candidate, the kuch himself, reportedly did not want his picture taken with mr. cruz at the event where mr. cruz assured everyone of a win. is it...

>> i think so. what it is, it depends on which audience hes speaking to. so quietly, he was saying to his caucus, look, we cant default. we just cant do this. word of that gets out, and then the speaker has to backtrack and say no, no, no, because he doesnt want to sacrifice his bargaining position. the problem, he doesnt have a whole lot of bargaining position here. i suppose the good news is the shutdown is now being combined with the debt default so at least were moving on to get that issue a...

With himself, obviously, and within his own head. look, he can -- its a debatable point whether there are enough -- there are more republicans who would support whats called the clean cr that the democrats are looking for. but theres no question that there are enough votes for it to pass through the house. thats why it hasnt been brought to a vote there. >> of course. >> theres the old -- theres the traditional thing called the hazard role, if the speaker doesnt have the majority in his own cauc...

Agreed with this but we had a number of republicans saying publicly last week they would be in favor of a clean cr and if there were a secret ballot, that wed probably see the numbers even higher. do you think that there will be more pressure on john boehner this week to break the ties that bind him behind the scenes? >> absolutely. john boehner said that he didnt have the votes to pass a clean cr. and over the weekend, democrats basically called him on his bluff and said, oh, yeah, bring it to ...

Things obama care will do is end job lock. i think thats something people will come to appreciate more and more as we get into 2014. people are locked into corporate jobs. they hate them in many cases but theyre afraid to leave because they know they would leave their insurance if they do. many have preexisting conditions or wouldnt have any idea how they could afford or even get insurance. that will change when the exchanges go online, people can get coverage. cannot be denied. that will be a g...

Really isnt the consistency with regard to how the right views the federal government at this point. >> except i think we know theyre perfectly happy to shut it down. thank you, ryan grim and wendel potter. >> thank you. >> coming up, spousal spying and doll designing, there in your fyi. ♪

The final bill, so it never became law. now theyre saying that the creation of the independent advisory board would be the new rationing board, the death panels, its not true. >> last one for you, ryan. and i find this to be the most ironic claim, that obama care will intrude into peoples sex lives and personal privacy. just a reminder thats coming from the party that brought you the transvaginal probe. >> its similar to the irs. one, its like, when these folks, you know, want a certain policy c...

You probably think her story is part of a false flag cover-up. youre probably more likely to change the subject and talk about white house the white house did violence in mexico to build support? does that sound crazy? it is crazy. like so many of the lies republicans have been spewing, once again, they just arent telling the truth about the affordable care act. with me now, ryan grim from the hustington post and arthur of deadly spin. we are going to get through some of these crazy, crazy lies....
