boehner couldn t control his caucus, his party, in 2011, the last time this happened when of course biden was vice president and biden eventually made a deal with mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell isn t really playing that kind of role this time. he fell over, he was out of work, away from work for six weeks, and mccarthy has boehner s problems square. can any deal with mccarthy stick? it s an open question. yeah, it really is. u.s. national editor at the financial times ed luce, thank you very much for being on this morning. we will be reading your latest piece entitled the kamala harris question. we appreciate your being on this morning. still ahead on morning joe, the naacp is warning travelers not to visit florida. we will tell you why the civil rights organization is calling out governor ron desantis ahead of his expected presidential campaign launch. plus, another republican
statement from his spokesperson. he didn t have to say that. he didn t have to say it but again, i think he didn t say i m not going to run for speaker. he said he s still not running. we know he doesn t want the job. we have known for a long time he doesn t want the job. it still leaves out the possibility that nobody else emerges who can unite the entire conference and over the weekend, republican leaders continue to call him and tell him that. the other part of this is we know he doesn t want the job in part because it s such a difficult job to have right now. you have to keep the house freedom caucus happy. keeping it united, boehner couldn t do that, mccarthy clearly wasn t going to be able to do that. the longer he holds out and the more desperate the situation becomes, if they do finally turn to him, he will have more leverage then than he does now so if he s looking at this as an impossible job to keep the caucus, keep the conference united, if he really has to wait until the
pelosi to vote next week on a clean funding bill with no strings attached that would keep dhs open through the end of the fiscal year, something that would infuriate his base. i have been talking to some republican lawmakers who are privately questioning whether this latest incident could, in fact, jeopardize boehner s speakership. so a lot of interesting days ahead and a busy week here in washington. certainly been an undercurrent of conversation. how many times have we been through this together before? will this go to the 11th hour again and we ll be up late friday night getting to the vote? reporter: i think it very well could. part of the political calculation here on the part of house speaker john boehner is that he s got to let those conservative members of his party voice their opposition to the president s immigration action. and the best way to do that is to allow them to resist any type of clean funding bill for as long as they possibly can. i can tell you, that last nig
additional three weeks in resolving this problem partly because i think the conservatives want to get this done now. they re pushing for a conference, a bicameral conference which as we know, senate republicans don t want it. senate democrats think it s not going to happen. it s putting boehner in a tough position. all of us are scratching our heads saying what s going to happen next? do you worry that s regardless of who s responsible, the gop will just take the blame for it? you know if the government shuts down and this is where i think the senate is definitely in a separate position than the house, i think the republicans are going to be hit hard. they normally when you look at the poll numbers, it clearly shows that republicans are usually the ones impacted when there s a shutdown in place. and of course president obama can go out and use the bully pulpit to say it s their fault, they re the ones causing it. so the democrats are playing this game where they don t want to p
