Would you on a train, would you, could you in the rain. I would not could not in the rain. Cold you would you with a goat in i the not like them her or there do i not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. Okay. Good morning. I did say, i dont understand because like sam stein, dr. Seuss went to a lesser ivy. Why would he read that . Exactly. That goes against everything he stands for. Good morning, everyone, its twens wednesday, september 25th. We are in washington, d. C. Watching this faux filibuster as it happens. Yesterday was a faux debate. Its ridiculous. You can have a faux filibuster. Why not read dr. Seuss . Oh, theres more. With us this morning, senior Political Editor and White House Correspondent sam stein, abc fuse political commentator and Senior Analyst Cokie Roberts. New york times reporter Jeremy Peters and columnist plume berg view al hunt. Good to have you all with us this morning. Why not . Nor ted cruz first took the floor at 2 41 yesterday afternoon
I do not like green eggs and ham. Mike lee, i am your father. Im a big fan of eating white castle burgers. Most americans could not give a flying flip about a bunch of politicians in washington. Who cares . You know, almost all of us are in cheap suits with bad haircuts. Who cares . Now the senate vote is finally on. Returning to real business like the upcoming showdown over government funding and the debt ceiling perhaps. President ial sales pitch, two for the price of one. Obama teams up with both clintons to try to boost support for hiS Health Care law. The citys been a little political, this whole obama care thing. What we are confident about is that when people look and see that they can get highquality, Affordable Health care for less than their cell phone bill, theyre going to sign up. But its hillary who has the first word. They have fabulous daughters. They each married far above themselves. And at the United Nations, its a near miss for president obama and irans president rou
Now on president obama desk. What made it dramatic . What made it dramatic, we knew it would probably pass but in the senate there are procedural hurdles requiring a 60vote threshold to move to final passage. Sometimes they can work out a deal where it just requires a majority vote but ted cruz, a republican in the senate, voiced against using that threshold, moving for 60 votes to move on the bill. That would require at least five republican senators to put their necks out on the line on a bill thats politically hurtful to them. So it was dramatic in a way that we didnt know how many and which senators on the republican side would vote to move forward with this bill. And what was most surprising to us was that minority leader Mitch Mcconnel who is in a reelection fight, facing a primary challenge, was one of those who voted to proceed with this bill. He, of course, is the leader of the republicans in the senate and john boehner, the House Speaker, earlier this week, did the same thing

And ion and photo cut down on traditional lane problems that have lane that have line problems. They are a low cost simple solution to putting a lot of paper in one place where poll t access it easily. How about the implementation . This goes into the morass we have fallen into with technology. Is that the roblem Certification Program for new systems is fatally broken. New systems are having a great difficulty coming onli online. Because the access it certifica takes so long and is virtually impossible to get some of the solutions are just proving very nettlesome manufacturers to find a market to put them in place.

Groups for reason and then hit the budget. Now to the congressman leading the charge with me now republican brady from texas. Doesnt have that Popular Support . I seeing it doess you dont see that around washington much which is accountability. This says clean attract, follow the recommendations of the Inspector General stop the conferences and bonuses and stop covering up the patterns of abuse and open up the irs so we can get t he trut and that is fair. Neil i imagine it would have a fight in the Senate Proposal you are sending a warning that you expect accountability in reaction on tse abuses and that has been shortcomings . Has not been happening at all. e new irs is trying to manage the problem rather th to get to the truce but the truth but these dollars are withheld because thspecific action. If they llowed the recommendaons to clean up theyre act and change their behavior than the finding follows but in tel been there behavior or lack of reform has consequences. Neil does this
