brian: no, that is not me. how dare you? i think that s boehner. i m not sure. i think that s a little clip of boehner. brian: if you recognize that man call us. i think that s trump s mouth. ainsley: you didn t have anything to do with designing the picture? no, i didn t design it. steve: meanwhile, coming up on this tuesday is the real story of collusion in d.c. among the democrats and even former president obama? mark levin says yes. he is going to join us on the other side of a brief time-out. brian: can you spot the mistake in the new washington red skins license plate? steve: i can. oh, baby, baby, i did it again i played with your heart got up in the game oh, baby, baby oops, you think i m in love
first part of his address. luke russert is standing by with us. in plain english, why is boehner leaving and what has changed around him since he s been in congress? well, interestingly enough, brian, john boehner has had to deal with a conservative flank in his conference. it s been very angry at him and said he hasn t done enough for the konconservative cause. he s always been puzzled why the pitchforks come out for him but he harkens back to an older legislation. he says he likes to get things done like the budget deal passed yesterday which will give paul ryan, his successor, peace avoiding what could avoid the most treacherous path for ryan. boehner is somebody who at age 65 has sort of outlived where the house gop has gone as a party. they have gone much further to
move our country forward because at the end of the day, it s b after paul ryan? about the american people and we if he says to his family, i need to get to work for the don t want to do this. i ve wanted to be chairman of american people. the ways and means committee, so explain if by chance, mitt well, when s plan b after romney and paul ryan had taken that? it is unclear. the white house, and he was vice i think what you will see is president, explain how the boehner agreed to stay on as long as necessary, perms stay on speakership differs from being to get a debt limit raise and vice president, especially when you do have a young family at fund the government come home. december 11th and then the idea well, obviously they are two different jobs but they are both of an interim speaker being put forward maybe a retiring older jobs that are you need a member like john klein of the tremendous amount of time to spend at them, and same thing. education committee is more of a pos
