complicated than that. first, the gop and the senate seems like they're very approachable to passing a dhs bill. it's the ideological wing of the republican party on the house of representatives side that is causing speaker boehner some heartburn here. he's in a bit of a pickle here because apparently the -- you know, this whole whether or not democrats can vote for this republican bill, it seems like that can happen if in fact it's a clean bill. republicans on the house side do not want a clean bill. that's where speaker boehner is in a bit of a bind here. so the question becomes is can he get some of those ideological hard-right folks of his caucus to be able to vote for a bill that perhaps has a little bit of less language than they want? the answer right now seems to be no. if that's the case his speakership is very much in jeopardy jeopardy. so i don't know. i really don't know. >> okay. what do you think the president should be doing in this fight? i mean he held the town hall. it was aired here on msnbc,
