I wishhings were ruthlessly true. Like kevin spacey. Our first guesest tonight, voted in favor of the budget compromise in the house. He als stresses the deal eases the burdenaused b the sequeste joining us now scott, member of the budget committee, congressman, good to he you with us,you an many of your colleaes in the house, particularly those who style yourself as conservatives wrestlehtily onthis, what was the point to cast yourote to supportit. Thank you, lou. A critical topic for our countr the alternatives before were this, if i voted no, we wou ha hadontinuing resolutions where we fund things that didnt need to be funding. I have been among i think the strongest advocates for turning to regular order, where we have a topline budget and we have agreed to that in this agreemt and work through all of the apopations bill. If the senate approves, almost a certaint they will approve it tomorrow and move it on, regular order wi be restored. Were talking about 85 billion against a budget in x sesz of 3. 3 trillion that doesnt amount. This isnt small potatoes. In terms of financial numr. But in terms of returning regular order, and establishing a budget for two years, after successive continuing resotions at make a mockery of the budgetocess, this is a very big deal, isnt it . It is really a big deal and im in a sean ofblic service. This is really the first time that ihave really felt that i could come home and come before this incredible district tho serve. So we have a lot of defense contracts and this isnt ju protect the he base here, lou. I have the privilegof working with our general. Told my colleagues the day we were wrestling with this, if youre inclined to vote no, i said come withme and hear the direct andery real daamage that can continuing resolutions combined with sequestration are doing to our military an the fiscal conservative, i said letget back onegular order here and get on to mandatory spending. And at isour reaction, coressman, and your thought and your concerns in the cost of living benefits for retiring military personnel under the age of 62 . The provision that would cut benefits. Lou i answered the question today, i was talking to a group of our ship repair folks, no more than 200 peoplen e room, the very last questn was on this, i knew that this question was coming and i told my colleagues, m republican colleagues that were going to have to wrestle with this, because its a ruction, whats not being shared in t media, when the Service Member does reach 62, that cost of living increa crease where they didnt participate for all of these years potentially, they get caught up at eagef 62. Wounded warriors, theres no reduction. Theres reduction of 1 . Inflation mus 1 . Its a difcult decision, lou. Thats why it was not easy for me to vot for this. I pulled this vong card in my coat pocket out, i have choice, greeor y or red for no, this isnt i wish i had a different choice buttothere. I looked at the sum of all of this, whats important here, u, now were going to return to regular order, theres not excuse for any member of congress, republican o democrat, to g back on mandatory. Fair enenough. Any excuse for the republicans the democrats to put the country and the politics of capitol hill in position to shut downthe government after the new year as you move to the next issue is the debt ceiling . I struggle with this as a bunessman, im still an owner of a busess,t really deeply affect our business if we went into any kindof defaul but at the same time, i dont want to enable what io despise, its mol. The direction were going. I understd. But people are just outright sick o seeg the Republican Party and in each case its en the Republican Party has had the choice. You have shownreat judgment, i think a level, goodheaded common sense in dealing with whats symbolic numbers t return to order. Surely youre not telling me the Republican Leadership would throw that all away on the debt ceiling, why not go to the polls with your arguments and stop this nonsense . Herewe go, lou, we right on track, i thk any candidate, an uncome bent or a new candidate, theed to be asked, what specificado you propose to get mandatory spending . Dont let those candidates get awayrom that difficult question thats got to be answered. That question cant be posed until nextnovember. Im asking you right now, is your leadership committed of to avoiding a shuown of the government again . Yes, they are. What we need to do im going take what we can. In the time were otted. I understand. I understand. We shouldnt shut the government down at the same time, lou, we got i would urge the republicans, get ou and get a ground game going and move some voters to the polls, because thats where the answers lie not in parliamentary maneuvers, i appld the Republican Leadership for moving forward in this direction and specifically, congressman paul ryan who pulled out the i was proud ohim. I wont be veryroud if it results in another shutdownin the debt ceiling, coressman. I donthink thatsoing happen, lou. I ont. Wll take that as assurance and it welcome. Congressman, thank you. Hank you smuch. Up next, the tea party, well, they say that john bey ne declared war on them.

The teapay is in an allt war with House Speaker john boehner, for whatever reason, he dedecide start the feud, escalated it yesterday. Saying some gups lostll credibility. Tea part y forites fired back. Saying, boehner delived what they call a smug rant. Joining us now to talk about the not so civil war within the Republican Party and much more, mike dunca the former chairman of the Republican National committee, he now heads up of the american coalitn fr clean coalelectrity. Great to have you here. This president has declared war on not only foss fuels but coal in particul, he says if you own coal and if y gny planfor coal youre out of business. Youre having kwiemt a different experience s coa is alive and well in the United States. Parts of the country certainly undetand feel like they have been inhe war,astern kentucky, where we lost over 6,000 jobs in the last go years. Why in the worl is the industry putting up with it, there was a time when you saw people hitting, i mean, getting screwed like this and they stood up for it you know, and the politicians had a clear, loud voe, tyre just getting rolled here . The industr is fighting back, were fighting back in court and in congress, but congress has been somewhat dysfunctional, if you win in congress you till have theeto threat. Hes taking this through the regulation process, hes using the epa standards and hes getting ready put out standards for existing coal plants. And wearing just everybody out with the epa. You have cleaned up your act. Youre using it in much cleaner fashion and yet the epa says, the hell with you. The last 90 of the particles have been removed from coal in this cntry. Coal is affordable, eliable and increasingly clean. Congress, its getti interesting right now. Ker boehner attacking the tea party, specific heritage action, e club for growt these outfits, freedom work whs going on, your party is starting to show somegrit, some life, and some spark . I kind of like it to be honest with you. Were only one good candidate away from the president of the United States from having unity within our party. Were having a free throw of ideas, were bringingmore people into the party. But there seems to be a negative. When the speaker decides hes going to shut dn a wing, and you know, theyre sang a war has been declared, meanwhile, i dont see what the alternative was to what boehner and ryan did. And by the way, i spo fully the tea party, ihink thre e of the strongest and most vibrant expressionsof this country. So, what is your view here . I support a big ten. I also understand and expect government to work. Thats what you saw in the house this time and i think youll see thatn the senate. It may be a differentprocess. But the ammrican people want us to have a budget. More deliberate, are you kiddg me . Yogot t be kding. Mike, i got to tell you, theres thing dlib ra tif about it the leadership on the Immigration Reform and the Republican Leadership in the house he senate has screwed up everything they have touched. Theyre acting, i think, bizarrely, dont you . I think well get a budget. The American People want the government to work. All right. Mike duncan, god to have you. Tha you. Win that war.

We thought because its television we would bring you the ve worst, lets start with mber five, 5, president obamas claim that the day after benghazi he personally acknowledged that it was an act of terrorism, not so much. And number four, darre issa, his claim that then secretary of state Hillary Clintonad sign a cable in 2012 ordering a drawdown of security for the coulate in libya, not so. Number the three, reas reasserting himself th the claim e capitol hill january tors would be gettg a pay cut when the sequester kicked in, fox news cntributor pat cadel. And former member of brad blakeman. Would president would president bush ever three o of five what would you say his record would have been . Ll, i dont think he would have a record anywhere close . Because president bushdnt lie in order to use it to get ything done. This president s iucement on obamacare was said on several lies, you can keep your doctor affordabl health care. The you see t value in signing up, these are not merely sstatements, these are lies. When the president is not lying hes eceeding his authority. Patthis Washington Post story i thought it was a blockbuster over the years, carrying out policies that theyve thought would be too controversial an would not to the benefit of the president during an election y yes, well, the most Transparent Administration is one the most manipulative since Richard Nixon if you like your plan or doctor you can keep it, probly the biggest lie of this century, and it speaks to everhing they have done on health care and regulations which is well fool the people the main stream press for the most part, theyet us get away with it and well lie our heads off if we want and thats what politics in governmentas come down. How much trouble ishis president in now . Focuses on administration that is described as ethically squalid, its almost imcomprehense of their conduct, your thoughts on where they go from here . Their idea, the bon of ust is broken and i believe the lie which could have been the lie of any last four years,ecause you say, hes been saying it all along, you can keep your plan, once thatond of trust is broken, it seems to me that its very ha to take the president at his word on anytything, that what we teach our children. If y lie, no one will trust you again. If you cant spell, no one will trust your facts. When the penalty of the United States says things tha e untrue, why should we believe him on iran or the next budget or anything . And well be taking that int in st a momment.

You thght we were lking about th future, its here. Certainly in googles future. Brad, yourarty taking on the tea party, your establishment, paul ryan, en, bei careless with his rhetoric, you know, once considereto be at e forefront of the tea party, what are you guys trying to do to yourself. We shou be trying to unite. Some ofs to be govern in a world that they wish it to be, but we have divided government, we got to rule in reality, thisudget deal may not be the best but its a step in the right direction, getting ba to regular order. I agree with yo i agree with you. But what i dont understand is so of the condescending and nasty attitude on the part of karl roves, the paul ryans and michigan mccoells, theyre talking to fellow citizens, fellow republicans and i got to ll y, they look ke fools when they do that. These people werent smart in 12 and they havent learned a damn thi in 2013. Look, we cant be eang our own. We need to be uniti. In 14, united we stand, divided we fall, makes no you have pointed it out, lou, it makes no sense to vilify your own, we havenough ammunition against e democrats,lets unite and be successful in2014. What do you thi, mike, any more effective than ey have been . I suspect some of this lou is personal. Theres a lot of personal bad blood. Some of the groups have been criticizing him personally by going after the republican caucus, paul ryan probay feels, too. Theyre sensitive, arent they . Michael, thats too bad. But i do think we shou never dicount the personnels. Am not discounting it. Taking it all personally. My goodness. Our rulers and our rulers have a sensitivity problem, because after all, nothing is worse is watching the otr party. For the republican or democrat . Thats right. Nothing worsthan watching t political lds of both parties contend the lead. The benghazi thing the administration has lead from day one about this. Hn boehner w has it in his power, refuses to
