disapproved of both chose trump over her. he would love to make comparisons to hillary clinton. she made absolute i the right points in the speech but there are other people who can make them more effectively in this political environment. her reemergence after the loss has been slow. obviously has been very carefully planned. but is he right, is she the wrong person to send the message? i think josh is right about that. what is important is other people carry the message and that they not take their foot off of trump s neck. let me go to that. boehner goes out there and he says, you know, he s got pretty goode foreign policy team, he s been doing great. otherwise he s a total disaster. it s not the first time boehner, since he retired, and started whistling a happy tune about not being in washington, has been critical. but that was pretty harsh. it was. but the most important thing that he said was not the disaster part. it was he s still learning how to be president. the prob
polling place, you have get federal approval for that too. it s doing two very interesting things using the voting rights act to stop discrimination and using more innovative way looking at the new forms of discrimination and trying to prevent that too. those two parts of the bill if it passes would be very powerful. this is my favorite part of the local color yesterday was when they stepped off air force one, john boehner was holding an envelope that usually people have when they ve ridden on air force one or flown on air force one for the first time under a given president suggesting maybe this was the first time boehner flew air force one with the president. and i m just wondering if in fact in this moment we might finally get to a point where, for example, a new vra section iv is possible because this tragedy brought together two people who hadn t been together before. it might. the boehner/obama alliance on free trade is much different than asking for an alliance on voting rig
we understand this is the first time boehner has come out discussing this investigation, these hearings. what is the white house saying? reporter: right. and house speaker john boehner today asked for additional e-mails to be released. at this point in time there is no indication that white house officials are planning to release additional e-mails that relate to the benghazi incident. the white house spokesman, eric schultz did release this statement. it says this administration has made extraordinary efforts to work with the five congressional committees investigating the benghazi attacks, including over the past eight months. testifying in what is now 11 congressional hearings, holding 20 staff briefings and providing over 25,000 pages of documents. the white house says that the republicans are playing politics with this issue. they say that the white house did weigh in on those points. those controversial talking points but they say any changes that the white house recommended we
up every year has been shrinking for two years straight and will shrink a lot if we go over the fiscal cliff. i am not in the absence of a crisis. looking at what boehner just did, obama will be blame for the highest increase in history. i m not optimistic that we are going to go over the cliff. it seems that way. baner and the gop are highly unpopular and 11% approval rate. obama is very popular. 57% from cbs and 54% from abc. is boehner correct that the president will get blamed for the tax increase. they trust the way the president is dealing and don t trust the way the gop is dealing. that s the first time boehner and drop the mike have been used. that s right. leave it to him.
and that all depends, you know, what they describe, that s a reality that gets somehow got 150 house democrats and convinced john boehner to go to the floor with only 80 house republicans. chuck, what s the number you re talking about in the politico report that you say is a little low? reporter: the overall cuts, the medicare number of $400 billion. it would be a surprise because $400 billion is already what dick durbin s talking about. that s the number that s out there. that number felt a little bit low from what i ve heard. look, that s the that s what s going on right now, right? is that each side is preparing its base to eat its vegetables. so the democrats are trying to get the base to be prepared for a haircut on medicare that s 4, 5, maybe $600 billion. and boehner who, by the way, the best thing to happen to john boehner yesterday was tom cole because for the first time boehner gets to be the middle ground in the house republican
