Attached to it and to boehner. Keeping a law they mate, alive and well they hate alive and well. And john boehner is going down if he keeps it up. Very much war. And led by a tea party charmed charged for battle. To alan west. Former republican congressman with me now on how it might go. A pleasure to be with you, most important thing you see happening is conflict between politics and policy, when you understand when a continuing resolution is. Which is what well have to do, it is because we had a failure in appropriation process, weve not been able to budget for the government. Continuing resolution could be 6 months, 8 months to a year. You look at fact that president unconstitutionally has gone in and delayed certain parts of the Affordable Care act. The out of pocket caps or also being it the. Er mandate, we should do is say well take the president s lead, were going to delay the. Menimplementation of obamacare. Neil if the speaker is not willing to do that. Should he go . That puts the speaker in a precarious situation, the American People are looking for folks who will stand up and have a trin principle fight on good policy. Neil it seems you are disappointed in him because he is not doing that. I am. It is not just that but also people have been coming on a select committee benghazi, with 163 signatures to frank wolfs House Resolution calling for that committee, it has not been brought to the floor, those things that American People constitutional conservatives, if you want to call the tea party that, are up is it about, they want to see someone stand up and fight, you have jimmy hoffa jr. Righte writing a letter to nancy pelosi and harry reid, cas castigating this Affordable Care act. Saying they dont to have a part of that but this law mandates 16,000 new irs agents as enforcers we have a problem. Think about the waivers and the fact that congress on the hill has an exemption, and were spending millions of tax pair dollars to advertise taxpayer dollars to advertise something that is law. Neil i want to be clear on some technologies. That is one thing to delay it or another to defund it out right. Are new that camp . Do you think that it is important enough and principled enough cause, to go ahead and risk a shut down . Im not talking about a shut down, the shut down will come on the heel in the lap of president obama. Because he is the one that said, and also signed several pieces of legislation that has repealed or replaced. I know what you are saying, i guess what im getting at, you are right there is another way that it is president bringing on shut down, but speaker and other main treatment republicans, if you will, said it will be on republicans could and look like last government shut down, they will get the blame. You see, that is the politics of it i will be honest and clear. That is such a phase willure of leadership that is such a failure of leadership. Like what i just did, you know, i was born and raised in georgia went to university of tennessee i am not some harvard educated gent els gentlemen, but if ie explain it, why cant house leader explain it just as well, lets get away from the im going to get blamed, stop reading New York Times and wash post and worry about the politics. I disagree with people who say you should let it go through, and let the American People suffer then allow them to come screaming, i say, a leader would never allow the American People to suffer under something they know is not good for the American People, look at watched with ups, and with delta, and you will see me as a leader you will stan by and allow the American People to suffer just because you want to score political points, that puts you in the camp with president obama, i think our Republican Leadership can do wetter. Better. Neil alan west thank you very much. Thank you. Neil by argue defunding hole care then what . Health care, this could be a fight that could be very nasty for the markets to see acted out, tie young is joining us, steve, the fallout will be quicken to the markets. It could be, not just a question of whether obamacare gets funded. Neil it is more uncertainty. Like so much. There was an expression we heard something is critical but not serious, that meant that there is a lot of horrible things that could happen. But we can take care of it were not in that situation any more, it is critical, it is critical. Not just going on with the president and congress but in syria, what is going on in egypt, which affects oil prices, and it is what is going on in the markets today, gold is up, oil is up, stocks are down. What more evidence do you need than something is wrong . It is also wholl be running the federal reserve, when was last time in this country, where we had a lame duck chairman of the federal reserve. Neil you have a lot of uucertainty, but i want to go back to health care thing, at very least it could point to a bumpy fall in terms was not getting a budget, a potential shut down, a debt limit quack meyer, how much quagmire how much of a concern is that for you . It is a big concern, reason it is, is to Stevens Point we have middle east, we have an upcoming battle over debt sealing and budget, it could be negative. Shortterm is outweighed by short, medium and longterm negatives of obamacare that is a business killer. Getting this defunded up front is important thing to do. Neil i dont know if that is going to happen. Looking at the numbers and how realistic it is to expects the president to sign on Something Like that, that hints of at least a bit of a budget crisis. Is wall street used to these shenanigans, soar could be different . It could be develop this time, this is it could be different there time, that is the most fractured that i have seen this government, i have never seen a government so polarized as this government, the president wants this, republicans want that, there is very little room for compromise you. What you get some craze cock mamey thing called obamacare, it is no good for anybody, the young are going end to up paying more, there is nothing you can say that is positive about this, other an obama got his name on it, there is just nothing good about this, it is going to cost money, raisin flag raise inflation. Neil saying you know, republicans should be careful about this infighting because if they go after the speaker and the established leadership they are shooting themselves and guaranteeing they will not only lose any chance of taking senate, but they could call in to question their control will the house. What do you make of that, whether that is much ado about nothing or what . To congressman wests point from a few moments ago, politicallic pe expediency and s are secondary to leadership. They should fund the government with the exception of obamacare, send to to senate, let harry reid say dead on arrival. In 90s we shut down the government, republicans got the blame, and market did not really get hurt, at that time he thought that government would follow the law, we had a blitzer more confidence in we had a little bit more confidence in them. You are right, market held up fine. Thank you both very much.

Neil beware immigration bills we have to past pass fast, we have a bill clocked at more than 1200 pages, a lot of stuff sneaks into the pages including 1 1 2 billion bucks for a youth jobs program. You know tens of millions of dollars more for various immigrant serving organizations, ryan said, you come to discover this immigration measure does not measure up. He is top g. O. P. Strategist. So now the devil becomes how do you remove those provisions, get a law that makes sense or do you risk junking the whole thing, and were told getting latinos upset at you . Junk the whole thing, no matter, you will have go to conference, and have worse bill brought forward. You will have democrat in house, a handful of republicans pass it. And sign by barack obama. Neil you dont buy the argument this just kills party with the for whatever valid reason, it looks like you are you know, against minority. Bob dole got less of the hispanic vote than mitt romney or joh mccain did. We have to make immigration less about hispanics, it was wave of yesterday. The wave of today is asian immigrants, and tomorrow will be muslim and subsaharan. You are not giving up . No, this should not be a antihispanic thing, this is be where the immigrantses are coming from. They have 18,000 visas for people working at summer camps. Neil really. Yes. They have a huge 92 better be a nice summer camp. A huge thing for people for fisheries in alaska, this is pork on pork on pork, they the law that you mentioned 1. 5 billion for summer programs for young people that was the Bernie Sanders vote, the socialist from vermont they bought almost every vote they could. Neil ryan, you articulate this better than all of the republicans i have had on here with the problem of the measure but it comes back to republicans inability to articulate why this does not make sense, why do you think that is . They look like they are out of sync. Sync. There is a reason were called stupid party, to a sudden we deserve it they cant measure it up, they are afraid of being called racist or afraid of obstructtionist. Neil where do you stand on the shut down . I think that there is going to be future chances to rein in obamacare. I dont know how. Neil i wouldnt shoot the battle here . I would not. Neil what do you think of tea parties saying this is their last stance deal. Were not losing house until 2022, the seat are cut, republicans would have to really screw up to lose the House Majority until 2022, almost impossible. Neil well, it is happened before. Dont underestimate republican clans to fail. Neil both parties. Many people did not think that democrats would lose control. Almost 198 seats that you are not worried about the house . No. Neil worried aboued about 2016. Once you have republicans in senate, they overturned obamacare, what . 40 times, it never got brought to the senate. Once we have a very Republican Senate majority, and voted on in senate. I want them to vote, make you know, make the senators from louisiana, from arkansas, and North Carolina and alaska have to vote to reinstate obamacare as they lose their jobs, and their insurance, as new jobs are not let senators vote, over and over, and let them own it all the way until over in 14, you will have a Republican Senate by them. Neil you articulate that position well. Thank you. Make them this immigration bill, and i cant stress this, this worse than obamacare. Neil really . Now you are getting cookie . No, you will bring in 30 million new immigrants in text 10 years that will give democrats their demographic majority for the foreseeable future this is the fight to fight on,. Neil okay, ryan thank you. In the meantime, attention class, time to grade your teacher, because pay for performance is on. And in christie country, it is chalking up one headline hell of a union fight. Neil so. Are any of you fortunate enough to think your kids teacher is great . How about paying them for standing out. It is happening in newark, new jersey, those teachers who make the grade stand to make the wash up 12,500 more. Teachers unions are decrying this, saying it is arbitrary, and measures used to judge do not take into, account where the classroom is, in newark, can any instruct oainstructor look good. A class in the class. I used to be a teacher. Neil i believe that. True, i have a pointer that i use, and an eracer. Neil i can see you writing on pay paper. Allred pen. I was subject to the incremental pay raises, whether i was doing a good job or a bad job, i was getting paid as same person across the hall who was doing busy work like, movies all day. But i think you have to merit pay is important, but i think that teacher evaluations are more complicated. You have to get into the classroom, and understand the learning disadvantages of kids have. The parental situation, i dont think that the standardize test is the way to judge a good teacher from a bad teacher, you have to get in the classroom. Neil that is what unions are complaining about there is no easy metric, that is why christie and new jersey, and other states that use the test scores, use recontinuetion leve retention level, and factor in crime and poverty rate in the area, they have come up with this prom la. Obama pioneered this one, Chris Christie is working the metrics are unique to new jersey. Yes, and newark cut christie some slack, not just obama, obama. Do you see me have a problem cprobwith christie. Neil you have a problem with overweight white men. Absolutely not. Have you seen him lately. Because of the fact most of them are coming from below poverty line. Neil unions are whining about that. I cant cure with everything that jedediah said, that is unions. Neil he said what unions are kind of saying. There is a jedediah just pointed out, you have to get into the classroom. Neil did you hear something differently. You have to get into the classroom. You have to get into the classroom. You can observe ha is happening as opposed to it is easy to look at test scores say this percentage of kids are not passing this teacher is doing a bad job, it is harder to get in and observe. You come from a house when one or both parents is engaged in your education, you will do better than a lot of kids that not have, that in places like newark, parents working 2 or 3 jobs to support themselves, they may not have time to do that. Neil all right, switching gears. Maybe 50 bucks an hour is not ideal but will you settle for 10, california senator Barbara Boxer said that is a pretty good minimum wage to start with for now, julie agrees, and jedediah said sure, if you want to kill jobs. Neil you say now is not the time to talk minimum wage. Right. What is going to happen when companies decide well shift tte full time workers to part time, because now we cant pay for Healthcare Benefits for people. So, you can look at old clips of milton mea friedman, analyzing t saying this increases poverty. Neil do you look at it, every time, businesses whine. Life goes on business continues, really the end of the world . The price can get passed on to the consumer as well, do people want to go to managed. Mcdonalds. There is always the argument. Have you record profit of businesses, theyre sitting on piles of cash, lets not pretend it will be passed on to consumers. Neil they are making profit cutting cost. If you have people waking above minimum wage today they will hopefully be out of the cycle of poverty. You will recognize that jedediah, that if you hike minimum by any payment is has to go into other areas. I heard that time and time again. Neil well you know some things go up. Adjusted for inflation, ppople make minimum wage today making less than about 3dollar less. Neil what do you people are better off. They were. I dont know about, that. It is a fact. I dont know that is realistic to say. Neil two teachers here. They talk about 15 then what 20 what going to happens. Neil she is talking 10. A lot of workers at mcdonalds and other areas talking 15 they will be protesting. Julie does not care she does not go to mcdonalds. I dry not to eat big macs every day. I dont either. It is like crack. You think that students are going to be hired in that environment, people they feel how do we pay 10 to a student when this is supposed to be an entry level job, companies factor that in. Most people making minimum wage are over 20, a third are married and have kids, the problem and you are passing on the cycle on you try being a family. Neil it is up to them. It is good for them. Because the more disposable income you have. Neil ladies, wish we had more time, im tired of the fat jokes who knew that jack kennedy got it long before Ronald Reagan did, the words coming back to haunt a lot of liberals, they think that i doctored to make jfk saying and he did not then to sell tax cuts, bowl s would o that . P. Purchase eraser . Its the easy way to erase any recent travel expense. I just pick a charge, like my flight with a few taps, its taken care of. Impressive baldwin. Does it work for hotels . Absolutely thank goodness. Mrs. Villain and i are planning our. You scare me. And i like it. Lets go whats in your wallet . Im in favor of a tax cut im concerned if we dont get the tax cut well have an increase of unemployment and move into a period of economic downturn. Neil liberals who hate tax cuts better rethink that one, when it comes to basic economics they dont know, jack literally, i show john kennedy in his own words, some not only refuse to believe it, they thought that i edited the tape, carroll in new york city, whites you doctored that kennedy click, if he was for tax cuts then i am michelle obama. Katie, said there is no way that he would unless we was expecting opposition from his own party. Katie, he spent a lot of time wasting his time on that good fake bite then, pounds need for a tax cut figure as for almost. Before he got his wish, sadly though after he was dead. Lisa, amen, thank you neil for this reminder. And den cat 66. Reduce financial spending, tax apparatus, opposite of barack obama. Pauline in connecticut, thank you for your jfk segment and posting links on your site, i posted them to all my friends, phil in california, i feel for for the people claiming to
