Ted cruz, unafraid of kneecapping his colleagues. Official washington scoff. They scoff, they scoff. There is someone here a warm wednesday good afternoon to you. And on the 16th day, finally, weve got a deal. But hold your breath. Because its not over yet. With the u. S. Treasury running on fumes, just eight hours to go until a possible and catastrophic default, the race is on to get a bill through congress and to the president s desk before midnight. Just moments ago, Speaker John Boehner emerged from House Republicans afternoon huddle with a fist pump and no remarks. As he prepares to bring legislation to the floor to end the government impasse. Boehner did speak to an ohio Radio Station earlier. Well, listen, weve been locked in a fight over here, trying to bring government down to size, trying to do our best to stop obama care. Weve fought the good fight. We just didnt win. Yes, mr. Boehner. Thats because the house vote is set to be on a senate plan to reopen the government, and e
New friends. This is a fight thats going to continue. I would do anything to stop the train wreck that is obama care. You dont like a particular policy, go out there and win an election. We dont get fooled again good afternoon, and a hearty tgif after a week that began in frustration, careened into chaos and ended in abject surrender by the gop. And as republican lawmakers slumped back to their districts, bruised, batter and had bleeding from the fright, its time for another round of republican soulsearching. Unless, of course, your name is ted cruz. So you would do it again. I would do anything, and i will continue to do anything i can, to stop the train wreck that is obama care. Sure he would do it again . The man is having the time of his life never mind that those Like Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell, who said of cruzs shutdown strategy, we got off track with a tactical error. It was not a smart play. It had no chance of success. A tactical error that cost the nation 24 bill
0 and when the government now open, republicans are asking if there is anyone who can shut down ted cruz. can you make some sense of the week that just was? there are no winners here. thank god. john boehner, you know the orange guy? mitch mcconnell says a government shutdown is off the table. those who can t stand strong, heck yeah, they ve got to be primaried. people kept saying congress was acting like a bunch of kids. it was a fool s errand. that s why some of us became so angry. some think they can control the republican party. are you referring to heritage? of course i am. this was seen as the ted cruz shutdown. really strong language. from your own fellow republican senators. there is an old saying that politics ted cruz is doing a fabulous job of being ted cruz down the field. i m not serving office because i desperately needed 99 new friends. this is a fight that s going to continue. i would do anything to stop the train wreck that
0 plan part b. broke up. and the reason why, questions now have to be asked, what does this mean for the future of the majority? they are seemingly unable to get anything to 218 votes to enable themselves to get some leverage. so they ll walk away from this. they re a little blooded up. and what member told me, look, we went the direction of the cruz caucus within the house gop conference. these guys hijacked the plane. the problem was, they didn t have a pilot. they didn t know how to operate this plane wauns they garnered control of it. so that s sort of how i would say the more establishment gop views what happened. for folks out there who have been struggling over the last two weeks of the government shutdown, i deliver good news, that they will be getting their back pay within this bill. and that they should be back to work, perhaps as soon as tomorrow, at least by friday, god willing, this weekend, martin. and as far as this moves forward, you have a budget conference later on, a
