speaker boehner is dead wrong. and if he continues this he ought to give up his speakership and someone who is willing to lead the according of the united states should have that authority. >> isn't this playing politics with national security? >> absolutely. absolutely it is. we have known for a long while that there is a problem in this area. in july of this year, this isil thing began to get into iraq. at that point i said this is a new war. we must take action in congress. in fact, this issue has been with us since 2012 when there was an attempt by the republicans to rewrite the 2001 authorization to use force. i was on that committee. the armed services committee. and about 2:00 in the morning i was reading a 1200 page document and i said wait a minute here, you mean to tell me you want to give the president unlimited authority to wage war anywhere he might think there is a terrorist? no way, no how. eventually that did not get into the law, otherwise it would be the power of the president to wage war any time

i think what we heard a few seconds ago from john boehner, the speaker of the house, and let's bring in peter cook to talk about it. i think the statement of speaker boehner was not necessarily as supportive as one might have thought at a time of crisis. his statement, what he said, and where you think that leaves republicans. >> i think the president was looking for a bear hug from john boehner, and he certainly did not get it in the statement. some words of support but also some trepidation. he set a speech is not the same thing as a strategy. however, while the president gave a compelling call for action, there are many questions still, and one thing he points out is that the president, he said, framed it as a counterterrorism effort, and john boehner about there was something more necessary in response to isil, and it will be interesting to see how her publicans react green bay will be meeting behind closed doors to look at how to handle it, particularly authorizing the training of the syrian rebels. will this ultimately pass muster with house republicans? some questions about th

i get it, boehner, let's have a debate and do it now. >> john boehner said today i think the house and congress itself should speak. but doing this with a whole group of members on their way out the door, i don't think that is the right way to handle this. [laughing] 0. >> jon: you said the barbarians were trying to kill us. roughly 90% of the members on the way out of the doors midterm will come right back in through the door. >> if your point is these are ruthless barbarians threatening our existence and must be killed immediately by the new congress which takes over in january. i mean could someone lay out the cynical under pinnings of this position from our brave congress. >> jack kingston from georgia had a interesting quote in the times "a lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and bomb the place. tell us about it later ." it's a voting year. republicans would like to denounce if it goes back and praise if it goes well. ask them what took so long. >> jon: holy [beep]. in a time of war our congressional in action is pure political calculations. our legislatures refuse to

and congressman boehner says he doesn't even want to vote on it this year. how about stepping up to the plate when it counts, mr. speaker? you're watching "hardball," the place for politics. >>> welcome back to "hardball." speaker of the house john boehner says the congress should vote on military action in syria, but not only sometime next year, when a new congress comes to washington. boehner told the "new york times" that voting on war in november when congress comes back for the lame duck is the wrong time to do it. he said doing this with a whole new group of members who are on their way out of the door, i don't think that's the right way to handle this. i would suggest that early next year, there will be that discussion and there will be that request from the president. that's what he's saying. some want congress to vote on authorizing president obama's use of force, even the president already has the authority. boehner says it's the president's job to send a proposal to congress before it can vote. >> i do believe it would be in the nation's interest.

speak aer boehner needs to call congress back. he tried to pin all the blame to president obama to not calling back congress. >> you want to have a vote on your resolution. why not now? >> i'd be happy to. >> last night on my orders -- >> the president typically in a situation like this would call for an authorization vote and go sell that to the american people. send a resolution to the hill. the president hasn't done that. he believes he has the authority under existing resolutions to do what he's doing. i think he does have the authority to do it, but the point i've been mading is that this is a proposal that the congress ought to consider. >> the point you've been makes is that the president is wrong no whatever what he does. j john boehner's job is to call congress back, not the president's. the man who was in charge of the least productive congress in american history looks to me like he wants for keep it that way. there is one thing john boehner did get right. isis does pose a threat to americans. but we as a country have t

and i think john, of course, has to -- john boehner, speaker boehner -- has to herd a lot of cats. it's not an easy job. i wouldn't wish it on anybody. but i have supported him, and if i were voting again, would think john would do a very good job. i hope he returns to speaker in the 114th congress. >> have you witnessed that, gene green, people get co-opted by congress after a couple of years? >> guest: it's a political issue. if somebody can convince your folks at home you heave become washingtonizeed instead of coming from texas -- i go home every weekend so i don't lucas miss texas -- lose my tex accent, but if you want to stay year here, you need to make sure the folks you represent know what you're doing. my goal hawse always been, if i'm doing something in congress i can't show a benefit in our district, then i probably shouldn't be doing it. that's why on health care, policy up here, but trying to expand access in our district in not a wealthy area of houston. >> host: scott, you're on the independent line. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. i would like to discuss th

house speaker john boehner talking about the president's comments. in just a couple of minutes there, he took some questions, and he was very detailed in his responses x we're going to go around the horn here real quickly. just a couple of highlights, and we're going the kind of retro, if we can, because he just said, quote, i would never tell the enemy what i would or would not do in terms of fighting isis. the president made that decision. eric? >> that's kind of what i said a couple of minutes ago. we telegraphed what we were going to do in iraq, and that's when al-qaeda, which became isis, started to really grow. i don't agree with a lot of things john boehner had to say, but i think he's right. it's got to go to congress because we, the american people need to know what exactly they know about the fsa, the free syrian army. they may trust them, i certainly don't trust them. if they said we'll give you $500 million, but let's talk about helping out the kurds and the peshmerga who are really in danger and who are really important -- is. >> right,

john boehner moved it up. we'll see them on monday. they'll talk through the logistics of how they do the vote and when. it's unclear if they'll try to attach it to another related measure or on its own. >> how could the debate affect the viability of someone like senator rand paul who is quite proud of his noninterventionist stance? >> you've seen rand paul make a move back toward saying i'm not an isolationist. i believe in the case. he supports some interconvenience in the region to take care of the isis threat. we've seen the mood the country move a lot even in the past six months. our latest poll shows the number of americans who say she would be less involved in matters abroad has fallen. people are more willing to address this threat. i think you'll see republican candidates wanting to reach out, you know, both to that isolationist wing that doesn't necessarily want to get involved. but there's real fear about this threat. you're seeing the full numbers move in that direction. >> carrie dann. thank you. >>> an ohio man sentenced

john boehner made a point about education. depending on the year and the statistics, one third to one quarter go to college. the majority don't go to college. what if we change our education system to realize at some people go to college but the majority don't and we change k-12. the problem is we are not training for that. would you be talking about an apprentice program like germany has question mark guest: president obama has come out and articulated having community colleges be retrained as trade schools and work with local businesses to design training that locals need. that is a very good idea. host: our next caller is daniel on the republican line. caller: good morning. i can see both of these gentlemen have never been in business before. we comment about taxes if increase taxes on the rich or the corporations they apply that to the public. that is very ignorant. any corporation that is in business understands we compete against each other. you can buy the less expensive product. it is -- they keep talking about not inc

if we don't destroy them first, we're going to pay the price. >> boehner's not alone. in a new poll by nbc, "the wall street journal" and the enenburg center, nearly three quarters of americans think we will eventually send in our own troops. less than half think that's a good idea. this morning on cnn, senator john mccain upped the ante. he said if we're going to train syrians to go fight isis, we have to protect them from syria's president assad too. >> are we going to ask young men to train and equip and we send them back to be slaughtered by bashar assad's air power? >> what's the solution? >> we need a no-fly zone. >> what happens if he breaches it, it's his country. >> if he breaches it, we take out his air force. >> so take on assad at the same time as isis? >> assad, in my view, has been responsible for 192,000 syrians dead. >> back home, boehner said he's willing to call the house back to vote on a war resolution to fight isis if the president wants more authorization. he's not alone in that either. >> i think we have an obligation. the prime minister of briti

so at some point, speaker boehner have to say that we need to get this over with or the president is going to have to say that we need to do whatever we can, although it will be temporary and inadequate and fall short of his own ideals, at some point we have to grant the economy and the community some sort of early. because we have been talking about this for years. lou: may be maybe the solution is staring everyone in the face. the judiciary committee led by bob goodlatte. it is with great energy, and i'm talking about sincere energy, putting behind the legislation and not something that we move to the conference with the senate and the white house would like to work their will. but to actually move forward in an incremental fashion achieving real border security in the nonsense of rhetoric that you can't secure the border because we know that you can, there are examples all over the world of successfully doing so. is that possible in your view? >> i think so. and republicans are going to reach a compromise with democrats to get those out of the house. and all the way up to the summ

>> boehner could bring it up tomorrow. >> but boehner respects president obama enough and they have enough of a shred of a relationship left that the white house is saying, we don't want to do this, so boehner is holding back, that is a principled stand. if boehner really wanted to push the president and make a political issue out of it, he would say we're having a vote on it next tuesday, democrats be here or be square. >> because he's not putting politics ahead of the best interests of the country. there's a lesson for you, bob. >> the point that k.g. made, the congress has to have skin in the became. that's what it's about. >> you like that? >> yes, that's the most important thing because if you don't -- >> then they have to go home and defend it. >> the draemocrats don't want tt skin. >>> all right, directly ahead -- i don't need these glasses anymore and i bring them. i have contacts and i'm wearing them. >>> the state department is in full on spin mode after president obama gave kudos to a terrorist sympathizer during one of his u.n. speeches >>> on wednesday we were one of the first

and what's worse, he was chosen by speaker boehner to serve on the benghazi committee. congressman west moreland has no place on this panel. he should be removed immediately. and republicans need to stop talking about the enemy in the white house and start talking about issues that actually matter to the american people. joining me now are joe madison and bill press. thank you both for being here. >> hi, reverend. >> thank you. >> how can a congressman who calls president obama the enemy be allowed to serve on a committee investigating the administration? >> i don't know the answer to that question other than the fact that the speaker of the house, once again, caters to this tea party crowd that try to rev up the base that's already revved up. the reality is that here we are trying to pull together a united coalition of members of congress. the president met with both parties, the leaderships of both parties, a major speech tomorrow, and once again, the most outrageous thing that the american people should remember come november is the months and the millions and millio

speaker, john boehner, though. i promise you, he plays a lot when he's on the months of august work period. e's going all across the country for members district and trying to help them -- trying to help them raise money. good job at it. but john boehner is a good man. host: i want to read this quote to you. boehner eyes agenda. if gop captures senates. agenda for about the the next congress. and mr. boehner. a quote from john fury who spoke for dennis hastert when he was speaker. boehner is mr. benefitting from the fact that the republicans that came into of the 2010 tea party wave are growing up. they now understand that boehner knows what the hell is he is doing. doing. doin doing. guest: prague mattism is good. ou want to not give up your principles and as they say remember the ones that brung you to the dance. that's the people in your district. lot of hner heard a cats. not an easy job. wouldn't wish it on anybody. supported him. if i were voting again, i would think that john would do a very good job. hope h

boehner. thank you for making this occasion possible, mr. speaker, and with leader reid. leader mcconnell. i think we will all agree that as many ceremonies that we may participate in, this is singular in terms of how deeply rooted our sorrow is and how broad our respect is for our eroes. again, in the very center of our democracy in this capitol, we bestow these congressional gold medals to our memorials in new york, in pennsylvania and across the potomac as the sign of the never-ending commitment of the heroes of that day today we present those medals to the president, joseph daniels of the national september 11 memorial and museum in new york in recognition of the men and women who rushed up the stairs and into the smoke among many other acts of heroism. to gordon, president of families of flight 93 and recognition of passenger and crew who -- passengers and crew who charged up the aisle. to james, president of the pentagon memorial fund in recognition of those serving our country. with these medals, we honor the heroism of the first responders and ordinary citizens. w

his personal attorney called me john boehner speakers attorney called me and wanted to know if i was bringing former constituents on the floor. otherwise guess i had privileges of the house. i was there this morning. c-span: how do they treat you? >> guest: the first time i got out of prison in 2008 i was working for ellen rattner and she wanted to go to the house dining room with some reporters for dinner. i said i'm not going to go to the dining room. i have a lot of shame. i had a lot of friends at the capital but it's not good for me i didn't feel. so she said just walk over and as i walked in i have my former members card that has my picture on it when i was a member and i will never forget this. the police officer is standing there and he says welcome back mr. chairman. that card is not needed here. i walked into the house dining room and a couple of lady started crying and i saw some members. they said hello democrat and republican. better than i deserve. it was in awe of moment for me and i went back to the capital in 2008. c-span: do you get a pension? >> guest: i did get at

that's the whole point. >> when asked if should those boots be american boots on the ground, boehner said "we have no choice." a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll shows 72% of americans believe the u.s. will at some point use ground troops in this fight against isis. and meanwhile, a syrian group affiliated with al qaeda warned on sunday that the group will use all possible means to fight back against u.s.-led air strikes. >>> there's relief in sight this morning for thousands of air travelers. passengers like these have been stranded at chicago's o'hare airport since friday and they're now slowly boarding flights out of the windy city. coincidentally, on wednesday chicago o'hare reclaimed its spot as the world's busiest airport. so far, here are the numbers. there are roughly 400 flights canceled. today that is down from 800 yesterday. and a far cry from the more than 2,000 that were canceled on friday. and this all happened because an air traffic employee some 40 miles west of chicago allegedly tried to set fire to the control tower in an attempt to kill himself. the faa says

what john boehner said to abc on two fronts. both, that he, in fact, would call back congress to vote, specifically, on authorizing military intervention in syria if the president asked him. that's a big if. even more importantly, cracking open the door saying that ultimately ground troops will be needed and if other nations will not provide them, we may have no choice but to use u.s. troops. i think that's something that democrats are more likely to seize on than other republicans, and it's an indication of how complex and narrow a tight rope the politics of this very complex challenge represents. >> and you said, if the president were to ask, would this president want congress to reconsider some new authorization plans in which to vote on? >> we're in a little bit of an alfonz and gaston moment of you go first, no, you go first. the president said only a few days ago that he does not believe congress should vote on this until next year. tony blinken, continuing with the administration has said all along that we would be happy

and speaker john boehner said don't expect a vote any time sooner than january. many are wanting to drag congress back to washington to vote. it comes with some irony, the government we part ways with in 1770 had the vote on syria and air strikes that our government has yet to even entertain. the vote was never really in doubt. prime minister cameron got his vote in a landslide but he got that after calling parliament back for a special session to debate the measure and air strikes in iraq. here's a sample of that debate. >> this is about psychopathic terrorists trying to kill us. we do have to realize, whether we like it or not, they have already declared war on us. >> the last people who should be returning to the scene of the former crimes are britain, france and the united states of america. >> congressman john larson , that's a real debate they had in the british parliament over whether or not they should participate in iraq and syria. they said yes to iraq. no to syria. is that the kind of debate you want to see happening here? >> well, let me applaud the b

>> boehner could bring it up tomorrow. >> but boehner respects president obama enough and they have enough of a shred of a relationship left that the white house is saying, we don't want to do this, so boehner is holding back, that is a principled stand. if boehner really wanted to push the president and make a political issue out of it, he would say we're having a vote on it next tuesday, democrats be here or be square. >> because he's not putting politics ahead of the best interests of the country. there's a lesson for you, bob. >> the point that k.g. made, the congress has to have skin in the became. that's what it's about. >> you like that? >> yes, that's the most important thing because if you don't -- >> then they have to go home and defend it. >> the draemocrats don't want tt skin. >>> all right, directly ahead -- i don't need these glasses anymore and i bring them. i have contacts and i'm wearing them. >>> the state department is in full on spin mode after president obama gave kudos to a terrorist sympathizer during one of his u.n. speeches. >>> on wednesday we were one of the firs

on september, 18th, speaker boehner dlifrn delivered a speech saying the house is more tra transparent and open. you can bring your ipad to the floor they said. but you cannot bring a bill to raise minimum wage to the floor or institute unemployment insurance continuation or a bill to expend the terrorism risk insurance act. dave camp, republican committee chairman, can't even bring his tax reform bill to the floor. of course, you can bring your i-pad so you can read about the bills but you cannot consider them on the floor. as a result of the republican majority walking away again and again, congress is less productive and more divided than other. under the house majority and the 113th congress just 165 laws, the fewest in history have been enacted and only 26 were major legislation pieces. compare that to when george bush was president of the united states in '07 and '08 and the democrats led the congress. 460 bills were enacted to make america better, to serve the american people. and we are on target this year to be in session for 107 days only. they earned the title of the do-noth

as she pointed out among the president's loudest critics john boehner who went on the attack saying the decision to delay this possibly unconstitutional unilateral action until after the election instead of abanding the idea altogether smacks of raw politics. >> let's talk about this with john king. good morning. >> good morning to you. both sides are playing raw politics, that's the shame on this issue and so many where many of the people would like some action or like to have an up or down vote. the president on the one hand says no, this isn't about protecting the senate, then you heard him there in the piece telling nbc news well, the politics did shift this summer. they shifted in a way you have a number, a half dozen, probably a list of ten vulnerable senate democrats saying mr. president don't do this. if you give amnesty to millions of undocumented workers we'll probably lose our seats. those races are tight but democrats don't want is a firedp conservative base because if you look in many of the states where there are tough senate races you don't have much of a latino populatio

(laughter) right, john boehner, from last week? >> you know, there's a possibility that congress could take this issue up next year. >> stephen: next year! guaranteed! (cheers and applause) next year, guaranteed! that's a possibility. and boehner gets the immigrant experience, because he remembers how many years it took congress to welcome "his" community of tangelo-americans. (laughter) but if for some reason this latest promise isn't enough to convince the hispanish community, i say we do something more realistic than trying to pass immigration reform -- build a time machine. that way, people from the future can come back and assure us that immigration reform does eventually happen. with that in mind, joining me now, live from the distant tomorrow, please welcome. future stephen. (cheers and applause) greetings from the year 2372, stephen. >> wow. you look great. all my moisturizing. paid off! future me, can you assure hispanic. americans that washington eventually does address immigration reform? >> yes, i can. in fact, everyone

the ceremony begins with john boehner. oehner. >> ladies and gentlemen, please members -- welcome our honored guests. [laughter] [applause] [applause] ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable john boehner. >> good morning and welcome to the united states capitol. at eight: 40 6 a.m., the capital will join the nation and a moment of silent tribute. to those that we lost it is one of many such moments, silent or otherwise. they come by instinct now. we stand taller for the colors, the hand is steadier on the heart, a prayer is felt, not just said and we pull together when we might not have done so before. this is the response of a people who share a stubborn belief in each other. it's a search to grasp whatever it was in the character of those men and women who, leaving life at its peak, thought of others before themselves. tomorrow we mourn for what was taken from us. today we consider what was left behind, stories we tell and retell, a legacy we strive to claim and fami

in terms of what boehner was saying he is talking about the lame duck session. everybody is campaigning and then the guys who are retiring or lose their seats and they are saying he doesn't think that is the appropriate time to vote. in that sense i think he has a point. that is the vote to authorize. we can revisit that vote all you want. they did do the vote before the election. that took place in the fall. every candidate running, the bush administration, thought they had analect eelectoral advantage. >> it's not like there are not tools to not do this. >> it's not for nothing that the american public is so cynical about government. neither the president nor the guys at the other end of pennsylvania avenue do anything that the people wants, that is to govern. every poll indicates that the american people hate the government. they are starting to hate the form of government. >> for this to change at all for what boehner laid out this week, if you listen to harry reid who is not sure they need a vote, for that to change there has to be real noise. >> we are bei

boehner said the president moving the action smacks of raw politics. julie? >> democrats and liberal groups are split in their reaction. defender including top democrat. when the president acts, i support the broad use of his authority to fix the broken immigration system as he can through executive action. but liberal groups are disappointed. this is from the united farm workers. justice delayed is justice denied. instead of what is right for the farm workers and the country, he broke his promise to the millions of immigrants and latinos. some democrats were concerned about executive action on immigration it might want the respect voters to have tighter border security before the midterm, julie? >> thank you so much. and we are learning that president obama will meet with top congressional leaders to discuss the growing threat from isis terrorist. law makers have been calling on the president to detail his plan for stopping the terror network which controls large chunks of iraq and syria and could target the west. leland viter is in washington tonight. do we
