holding the line and holding all the cards right now to try to reduce that spending figure. if it does pass, it will be lower than 3.5 even. so it s very difficult to say what will happen. it s easy. i have to tell you. a lot of people say what about the difficult votes this year. voting no is the easiest thing to do. the question is when republicans are in power, when we win the majority in 2022, what are we going to do. are we going to do what we always do, increase the debt ceiling, increase taxes or fumble on other major portions of our economy like healthcare or what are we going to do with that in the future? those are the tough votes. neil: very good point on all. thanks, congressman. have a good weekend. you think looking around washington, everything going on, things are disastrous that the sky is falling. it s not. more after this.

their incredibly misbegotten approach. but it is ignore the cost to the american people of what they re doing. they also said they got elected to impose austerity, and they succeeded. we talked about the spending figure that is just a nose above the ryan budget. speaking of people coming to washington to shake things up. take a listen to what ted cruz said before he got on the floor of the senate, take a listen. mr. president, this fight was always about the american people who were hurting because of obama care. and unfortunately today, the united states senate is saying you don t have a voice in washington. you don t have a voice in washington. this is a terrible deal. does ted cruz believe what he is saying? well, i actually take him at his word that he does. i think that he is as disconnected from the reality

staffers worked until 3:00 in the morning and how acrimonious this has become, disagreement over what the disagreement is about. saying it s about the planned parenthood and epa and where things are breaking down and republicans are saying, no, it s about the spending, we can t agree on spending figure and composition of the cuts. as of last night, the range of where the spending cuts would be was between 34 and $37 billion. so the white house was coming up a little bit from their number, boehner would have had to come down from his number. now republicans are saying that doesn t cut it. all indications at this moment are that there s no deal and we re headed for a shutdown. kelly o donnell, that would sound like a shutdown is imminent and happen in a matter of hours. it could. i will flush out a few things because savannah and i are hearing a lot of the same information. after they broke up at 3:00,

henry clay said this if you cannot compromise, you cannot govern. henry clay, let me repeat that to my friends on your side of the aisle. if you cannot compromise, you cannot govern. now, we are on the brink of bringing the government to a halt. that makes no sense. well, republican and democrats on capitol hill can t even agree about what the disagreement is over at this point. republicans are saying it s about the spending figure, the spending cuts in the bill, while democrats say the deal is being held up because of republican demands to tighten restrictions on financing for planned parenthood. let s get to arizona congressman jeff flake, a member of the house appropriations committee, he s also running for senate in
