And the ability to get stuff done. for the speaker to run in and pass the cromnibus that totally funds obamacare for all next year we took the hostage of the homeland security, that was a huge mistake. but to borrow from a phrase from a few years ago, for boehner to rush in when we had the control of the senate coming into our hand this month this week, and make a deal with boehner that fund everything obama wanted for the year except homeland security is like custer saying come on boys, let s attack now before all the help gets here. martha: there is a lot of different strategies and reasons for that happening and it was a disaster. it broke our promises. there are people have very different viewpoints whether or not that was good idea and i understand what you re saying. how realistic, why are you doing this? why do you say that you re
Oil now down nearly $51 a barrel. again, all the three majority major markets down on this monday morning. let s get to what is driving d.c. it looks like the first fight for republicans tomorrow will not be with democrats. it will be with republicans. with two of them. officially challenging speaker john boehner for his leadership position. here they are taking aim at john boehner on sunday. you deceived us when you went to obama and pelosi to get your votes for the cromnibus. you said you would fight amnesty tooth and nail you didn t. you took the only hostage that obama would like for us to shoot. it was a terrible strategy and it follows a number of years of broken promises. it s time for a change. kelly o donnell joins us from capitol hill to talk about this.
Peter, how much danger is speaker boehner really? so far he s got two roans challenging him for the speaker ship. they are ted and louie. by announcing their opposition to boehner these two say they re just trying to give other members of the gop conference an aal terinive. it really is time for a change, you deceived us when you went to obama and pelosi to get your votes for the cromnibus. it was a terrible strategy and it follows a number of years of broken promises. so far it does not seemlike boehner is sweating the challenge as spokesman for the speaker says he still expects to be electedably the full house this week.
We ll tell you what they are talking about. bill: jury selection getting underway for the boston marathon bombing suspect. will there be justice for the victims of that horrific attack? the judge will be here on that. plus there s this. really it is time for a change. you deceived us when you went to obama and pelosi to get your votes for the cromnibus. you said you would fight amnesty tooth and nail. you didn t. martha: he is not happy. can you tell? tea party not very happy with house speaker john boehner. we ll talk to texas congressman louie gohmert for his bid to take that job away. but i m a bit skeptical of sure things. why s that? look what daddy s got. ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates.
2010. we would go through regular order. all of these promises were broken with the cromnibus. we didn t fight tooth and nail. that is why the speaker had to get obama to help him lobby to pass the boehner bill. and all of these promises need to start being made and following up with your interview with steve hayes. steve made the comment we could be totally getting rid of the tax code, those kind of things. then you re exactly right. what we do in the next two years has a it is going to likely help determine whether we get a republican or not in 2016. we saw how bad it was in 2012 when we didn t fight like we promised we would. we didn t keep our word about reading the bill in 2010. martha: totally different situation now than he had before. i mean, and he would argue i would imagine that he had to deal with the circumstances he had in front of him in terms of getting things done but now i think most people on your side of the political fence would expect a very different posture
I hope senate republicans will present to the country is a conservative right of center governing majority. serious people elected in serious times to try to get results. compromise is going to be the name of the game. and i certainly will hope and the president certainly hopes that republicans are in will pursue our work together in that spirit. the new congress seated tomorrow. you heard from the senate incoming majority leader on the house side. you have house speaker john boehner, he is facing a conservative challenge. for the speaker to run in and pass the cromnibus that funds the the
Party. there are people in the party that are willing to stand up and fight for the very things we promise we would do. so interesting focus there. essentially he s receiving that grief, boehner is, for being too moderate. and boehner has been up against this challenge all along. i mean people like gohmert have wanted the speaker to fight harder, to defund measures related to the health care law or to take the president to task related to immigration and the executive actions. boehner has said publicly he wants to do both of those things. but at the point of the most recent debate between these two sides, had to do with sort of the one of the last stories of the year gone by that cromnibus that funds the government but keeps the question of immigration open until next month. that s one of the things where goe better and ted yoho were against the position boehner took. they said it s about looking into a new republican congress
Coming down to. so you just joined that fight, you announced it here. yes there are two more candidates and there may be more. but between the republican candidates we get 29 people to vote for somebody besides the current speaker we have a second and third ballot, and a fourth. if elected speaker, how will you be different than john boehner? first of all, we ll fight amnesty and use the powers of the first. we ll have better oversight and will fight to de-fund obamacare and we have positive solution and paul and i are similar on this, we have solutions that will return power back to the people, have a doctor/patient relationship again. we ll get back to regular order. now, in 2010, boehner and other leaders said if you put us in the majority we will have time to read the bill. that hasn t happened. we saw that with the cromnibus.
There also today to be another candidate for speaker. all people are welcome, unlike what some of the accomplishment people are saying that if somebody votes for a candidate besides boehner on the floor, pelosi could wish. that s hogwash. the rules are you need a majority of all the votes cast for an eligible person, which is any adult american citizen. so there s no chance of pelosi winning as long as 59 republicans don t vote for the president. if they vote for a person, me, or anyone else in before tuesday and we have 29 people vote for someone besides speaker boehner, then we get to a second round or third round and eventually the goal is second, third, fourth round we have enough people that say, you know what? it really is time for a change. you deceived us when you went to obama and pelosi to get your votes for the cromnibus.
Frustrated with it. the new congress also plans to pick apart obamacare. obviously not a new policy but this is republican congress s first crack at it with the largest majority in the house since the great depression. and there s great emphasis on redefining full-time work in the eyes of the epa. right now 30 hours a week is full-time but the gop wants 40 hours a week believing that will benefit small businesses as the employer mandate kicks in. peter let s talk about speaker boehner and talk to me about the kind of resistance the speaker is facing for members of his own party. there are now two republican congressmen. ted yoho and louis gohmert who are going to run. you deceived us to try to get your votes for the cromnibus.
