Haven't heard what are the republican concession toss democrats, if opening the government and raising the debt limit isn't a concession, which most reasonable people would agree, what exactly are they giving. all we've heard from paul ryan is a shorter, less nutso wish list of things, not defunding obama care but we'll cut medicare. >> there was a recent tell in the op-ed. he talked about entitlement reform in exchange for sequestration relief, changed cpi. since we have a distinguished senator on this program. >> yes, senator. >> i'm wondering what kind of appetite there is for some sort of ...

Figure out a way government funding debt limit agencies affected by sequestration would have more control over what is paid, what is not, something both sides agree on and maybe you get the medical device for the shiny gold ticket for the house republicans and senate republicans. it's a fluid situation. i'm sure a lot was talked about in the meaning at the white house. ted cruz, marco rubio were all at. >> to be a fly on the wall as ted cruz sits with mitch mcconnell and rand paul and president obama. luke, i guess my question is the house plan -- senate plan is grown-up plan. it's a bigger pl...
