200 house republicans with these 40. i get the sentiment. i understand that, but that s not going to happen. i don t think boehner is going to do that. what the what s the alternative? the alternative is just another continuing resolution that they will pass. they do it all the time anyway. so far what these folks have done who think they have gotten rid of boehner, now they may be stuck with him for a while if they can t agree on a speaker. paul ryan doesn t want to do it. these people would want to have a shut down if they can t get planned parenthood defunded. i don t have a lot of time but who are the jack kemp candidates in the republican field? jeb bush, john kasich, marco rubio shows signs of it. maybe chris christie could develop into it. i agree with that but the
john boehner and his leadership team have punished house republicans who haven t gone with the flow. and mark meadows was one of the recipients of that on some legislation where he wasn t supporting house leaders and ended up getting stripped of a position and meadows this position later got back to him. but the bigger story, tamron, are there are about 25 house republicans who continue to be a thorn in john boehner s side. i don t think boehner will lose his speakership, there doesn t seem to be an indication of that now, but there are a small amount of republicans who will make life difficult for him, and i think this is another example of that. since you re bureau chief of the donald trump bureau which used to be the kardashian bureau, as al roker likes to say i just cracked myself up with that what s the headline today on donald trump? the headline today is donald trump was defending mark
tonight. the drama is turning into a major disaster for the republican leadership up there this party that prides itself on strong national security. late today the house voted to kill an initial vote on to fund the department for a mere three weeks. let me say this again, just for three weeks they wouldn t do it. speaker boehner made a bet he could pass the measure if he had only republican votes to do it and he he was torpedoed by 50 votes in his own party. democrats would not help bail him out. what now tonight? i m joined by the moderator of meet the press chuck todd. the republicans took over both houses, there was a notion afoot that they would be unanimous in getting along with each other, they would actually move together as a buffer to the president, a challenge to the president. now they re a challenge to each other. well, they are in this case that s for sure. look, there seems to be three options here. one of which i don t think boehner s going the take tonight. option
tonight. the vote was 203-224. the three-week extension did not pass. there is no plan b. the house is in recess. funding expires tonight. i don t think boehner will change his mind. there s more coming up on the ed show. stay with us. stocks end the month higher but lower on the day. the dow falls 81 the s&p sheds 6, and the nasdaq is off 24. a report showing economic growth slowed to a 2.2 annual rate last quarter. that s down from a previous estimate. apple ceo tim cook has told a british paper that the apple watch may replace the need for car keys and will have a battery that can last all day. that s it from cnbc, first in
working middle-class people. he s not from a bunch of crazy people who are obsessed they probably don t have that many hispanics moving into the neighborhood, to be blunt about it. it s not a big social issue with his people. but boehner, you know, i think mitch mcconnell, you don t have to like what he does, i don t most of the time, but he s really cagey. he figured out four days to go he won t get blamed. he ll push it right up to the fourth day. then harry reid gets called out there because he can t change his story fast enough. he plays his game. now they re back with three days to get it done. now two days to get it done. before we went on the air, you were saying they re going to go up to tomorrow night and jam boehner with the decision. i don t think boehner calls the shots in his caucus. he s hung up by this rule. you need 218 votes to pass the house. 110 to get a majority of your own caucus. democrats aren t going to help them much. he s going to have to get republicans.
