garrett graves says work requirements. anything else? >> just really quickly on work requirements, if people instead of working want go to school, be in a training program or even volunteer, those all count. and i don't know why we would object to somebody volunteering for 20 hours a week at a local food shelter if they are able bodied work capable. listen, this is the sort of activity that we know is key to human progress and development. with regard to whether or not it is a red line -- sorry, you said are there other red lines. republicans are going to need to change fundamentally how this town, washington, d.c., spends money. and we'll need some wins in each of the three limit, save and grow buckets. i think negotiations have been moving in roughly the right direction. and i think that you can see that because frankly house democrats are not very happy about it. >> a lot of house republicans aren't happy either.
line from punch bowl, there are plenty of house republicans who don't believe that default would be catastrophic. what's their calculus there? >> that's simply it, there is no complex calculus. they believe that default -- i mean, we've never defaulted before in our nation's history. i guess they'd like to see what it feels like. i can tell you that number is more than 30 house republicans, 40, 50 house republicans who don't think it would be as bad as the white house and treasury claim. i don't know if that's reality. i would say it's are probably not reality but the extent to which they're willing to push this to the brink is under appreciated by the white house, i think, and the composition of this house republican conference is also under appreciated and under estimated by this white house. >> i mean, tim, if people see the borrowing costs for the u.s. go up, if people start to see the stock market tank, their 401(k)s dive, those house republicans aren't necessarily going to be proud necessarily of going over that cliff for the
by law enforcement. house republicans aren't dissuaded here vowing to keep digging. >> from what we can see you have many members of the family getting money. it appears to come from chinese and russian companies and various places around the world. this is not good. this is actually a very serious thing and it is a web of corruption. >> neither the white house nor treasury department responded to requests for comment from fox news. this follows news from last month that members of the biden family received more than a million dollars in pay-outs related to hunter biden's business associate rob walker and their chinese business ventures in 2017 according to records obtained by house oversight. a spokesman for hunter's legal team last month confirmed those payments but stressed that they belonged to hunter, his uncle, and hali the widow, nobody else.
number of things. real problem of it is this house has house republicans. house republicans aren't too keen on extending a citizenship t all of the rights of american citizens to folks who have come here illegally. and certainly doesn't help when the president demonizes people who have come here illegally in talks about them as committing crimes. and kelly of course saying many of them are lazy. >> so that's the big question how this is going to play. because as pamela is reporting, john kelly just said that they don't want to get off the couch, so double downed on the comments. but i want to play again what he said about illegal immigrants who were eligible for daca but have not signed up. here's how he put it when it was on tape. >> difference between 690 and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their
was obtained by the conservative group citizens united. after an exchange of emails with clinton foundation director stephanie street abedin wrote my bigger problem is i can't get into my clinton email. may need the documents sentd to this email. the clinton campaign received a gift from a republican member of congress on the issue of the benghazi select committee. >> this may not be politically correct. but i think there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and individual, hillary clinton. >> that led to clinton campaign spokesman saying house republicans aren't shy about admitting that the pen ghazi committee is a partisan farce, chairman trey gowdy said there are several republicans on the committee who are familiar with its work. and some calls for joe bide ton get into the race have died down following tuesday night's debate. biden tried to deflect

part of this investigation that was designed to go after people, an individual, hillary clinton. and, you know, i think there is also a lot of it that is important that we needed to get to the bottom of this. but this has been the longest investigation, longer than wa r waterga watergate. >> so who is congressman richard hanna and what impact will his comments have? >> reporter: good morning, carol. richard hanna is a new york congressman and the second house republican now to suggest that the benghazi committee was created to take downhillry clint clinton. and house republicans aren't shy about admitting that the benghazi committee is a partisan farce. and here is what clinton said about the committee earlier this
president will make the right decisions for the nation. and i think if you look at what the president laid out last night, he didn't put out a big agenda. he didn't put out any major legislation. nothing in there that's going to take american people to say, okay, i get it. he's got this under control. especially in midterm election year. he'll have a really hard time working with congress over the next 11 months. >> very interesting. based on -- thinking about what you just said, i remember the president said earlier, and this is a quote, if i want something done, i'll do it myself. kind of a maverick attitude there. what's the reaction from congress, especially house republicans? >> reporter: house republicans aren't thrilled with his game plan, which is kind of ironic because at the same time they don't want to work with the president on his big-ticket items. they're now saying, well, if he's going to go around us, we'll really look into this. we all took an oath to the constitution and he needs to do the same. house speaker john boehner told reporters yesterday, if the president take this is go it alone approach, he'll run into a brick wall. house republicans will certainly make 2 difficult for the president but last night he said
kind of plan they would work out are still very much in flux. we don't really have one yet. there was some talk about senator susan collins' plan, a republican from maine. but democrats didn't like it because it didn't do enough for them. republicans didn't like it because it did too much. really we're at a point where house republicans aren't liking anything the senate is putting forward and vice versa. >> gary, the president through his press secretary yesterday is hanging tough. take a listen. >> the president cannot as he said so many times pay ransom in exchange for congress fulfilling its fundamental responsibility, to ensure the united states doesn't default and pays its bills. >> gary, where's the room for compromise here? >> well, one of the things that's going unsaid is that -- i'm getting feedback in my microphone so it's hard to speak. but obama has the ability to
