sometimes when john boehner has to go to those 80 or 100 democrats, sometimes that means john boehner has to give up something. one of the problems republicans have confronted in this new era of politics is when you have big -- if you're conservative, saying i'm going to stand up to john boehner, i don't think he's conservative enough, that forces john boehner to have to go back to democrats to pass legislation, that ends up undercutting the republican position. >> not only that and i have to get to this and i know -- hogan, i halfway promised myself i wouldn't do it but i have to. the guy that's going to be the whip, the guy that has to corral the votes, whip the vote for john boehner is still a guy named steve scalise who at once called himself david duke without the baggage. in the end, even though he's going to get the position doesn't this hurt the republican party brand every time he has to go forward and whip votes? he has to be a public persona. >> i think he can handle the brand damage over time. i think what will make republicans sit up and pay attention, and this does the s

we anticipate john boehner will be reelected. but as you point out, there are some opponents, some names have been raised, some names put into the process right now, technically informally. >> reporter: that's right. we're seeing all the members president -- not all 435 but pretty close in their seats. and they're being called on one by one in alphabet call order. we're only in the cs right now, to say who they support. all of the democrats so far have said pelosi. that is the tradition, again, of those in the minority party to vote for their leader as speaker. but because they don't have the votes, that doesn't happen. and we've only so far heard just a couple of republicans vote for somebody other than john boehner. and those others are louie gohmert, ted yoho and daniel webster, three conservative republicans who put their hats into the ring in order to make the point that they don't believe that john boehner has been the right kind of leader for republicans over the last for years. so we'll continue to watch this. the key her

and where john boehner was a member. the man complained in his initial interaction with police that because he had just been fired from the country club, he quote, did not have time to put something in john boehner's drink. they interviewed him in october about the case. he stated he did know the bartender from the club, but he didn't recall any negative situations. he thanked investigators for their efforts in the case, but again, the very strange breaking news tonight from the fbi, is that a man in ohio has been arrested for threatening to kill house speaker john boehner. that indictment was filed tonight. we'll bring you more on the story if and when we learn more. the man in question is in custody right now. we'll be right back. you can find a new frontier. there's nothing stopping you and a lot helping you. technology that's with you always. this is our promise. it's never been better to wander because wherever you go, you'll find us doing everything we can, so you can. i'm jerry bell the second. and i'm jerry bell

the phone conversations between the president and john boehner. it's not uncommon for him to roll his eyes on one of the longest shpeels with obama's must haveled voice. another camel to hand him a file without skipping a beat. he will pick it up in time to register a standard of uh-huh or i'm not sure about that mr. president. >> i do it with relatives here too. boehner and obama do sort of like each other. they bond over golf. i don't think there is a lot of chemistry between them. obama gets on people's nerves on the hill. democrats feel the same too. the thing that boehner's folks told me is what really aggravates them is instead of talking about tactical stuff, politics or details on legislation, obama tries to sell boehner on his point of view. perfect example were the exchanges on immigration. they did a bunch of trading over the summer. he was not able to do that. during the exchanges where they were working on the same side, there would be 10 or 15 minutes where boehner would have to sit and absorb an obama speech and he hates that. >> in

john boehner squash rebels? >> some on the right are concerned about the boehner strategy. we want to get to the same place of making our government work. >> we are not attacking john boehner and the conference that you say you are part of. >> new york city manhunt. police search for a fugitive after two officers are shot responding to a robbery, the commissioner praised his men. >> they performed courageously and the station house to respond to the robbery scene. >> inside selma. as some question the accuracy of the new movie's portrayal of lyndon johnson, we ask the men who almost died in the struggle almost 50 years ago. >> it's not a matter of making blunders are mistakes but the drama. to make it simple and real. >> congressional republicans now reign on capitol hill. the new reign begins with plenty of drama within both chambers. mitch mcconnell is ready to roll out a keystone strategy to push pipeline legislation on to the president's desk. there is a political hurdle to vote this hour. the heavy favorite to retain the speaker's gavel is trying to avoid the embarrass

is john boehner in any trouble? >> the short answer is no, but this is not what speaker boehner and the republican leadership want to happen as the kickoff this new era for republicans, this joint control of congress, both senate and house. he faces a challenge from two conservatives who say they want to run for speaker. they are a long shot. you would need 29 republicans to either say they want to vote for somebody else and simply vote present to trigger a second ballot, and that is likely to be a distraction, and embarrassment from john boehner, but he is going to prevail in the end. the question is, does this have a lasting impact beyond this first day? >> is this a challenge of things to come? >> this is a sign of things to come, if you will. the numbers are big. they posted that 29 number and all of a sudden john boehner is reminded early on he has to watch his right flank. that is not the sort of message that republicans hoped to convey as things kickoff. they really want to seem united in front, john boehner

but first, john boehner keeps his job. there was a surprisingly strong challenge to john boehner. a one-day blip or an omen of things to come? >> as we say in palm blip. john boehner had his challenges. people on twitter have said they would like to see him go. this was not his problem. he has other problems, but this is meaningless. >> i agree. it is a problem that is not going to define his speakership or ruin him. it is as much of a problem as it was before, except now -- he had to rely on democratic votes. now that republicans have all of congress -- >> all that matters is the next two years. the next two years, when boehner needs help, paul ryan, jeb hensarling, other conservatives will back him up. the whole thing is not on the president, but boehner and mcconnell taking risks. the two dozen who voted against him today will not matter. >> the responsibility will be more his watch than it was before. >> he is speaker and he recognizes that. he is not an angry guy. he is not a guy who was going to be rattled by this thing to read you could imagine somebody who was speaker had

and john boehner. with pelosi the problem is there are plenty of democrats who would like her to no longer be a house democratic leader minority leader. but they don't have the ability to effectively challenge her leadership. so why bother? >> there's not really going to be a serious challenge to nancy pelosi at all? >> no not at all. >> and there won't be a challenge to harry reid as the minority leader in the u.s. senate? >> once again there are senate democrats who would like to see new leadership and yet they don't have the votes and they don't have the power and people like harry reid and nancy pelosi got to where they are by wielding power effectively. >> even though the democrats in the senate suffered the democrats in the house suffered they will remain the leaders with no significant opposition at all? >> that's exactly right. i think one of the challenges for john boehner going forward, by the way, is the fact that the senate is now controlled by republicans. that actually means because the s

tea party conservatives got 25 votes when all was told to oppose john boehner. was this a bad start for the g.o.p. - distracted by this internal sniping instead of focussing on substantive issues. >> i'm not sure that the 25 votes for others were republican votes. there were four or five democratic votes that didn't vote for pelosi. they never got close. republicans needed 29 votes to send it to a second ballot. it was exciting because there was some whipping it up in the press core of trying to make it exciting. i will tell you, having been through these, that if the john boehner people thought that there was any chance to fall short, the word would have gone out over the city to people like me and others to get on the phone and i would have had my call list handed to me saying get on the phone with this guy. i don't think it was as exciting as it was led to believe. >> you wrote in your column that we don't know if the congress will tackle or vote on difficult issues. and quoted shakespeare saying that this could be two years of sound and puree signifying into

they are still grumbling in the conservative wing about trying to replace john boehner with the speaker. if nine members pick someone else on the first ballot baners out. one of them iowa's steve king. >>> when you look across the number there are 67 that voted against the omnibus spending bill. that's a pretty good place to start. had communications with many of them along the way. the possibility is this if one or two more candidates came forward i think that would increase the number of people that would be willing to vote for somebody other than john boehner for speaker. the keystone pipeline in fact gop senator john hogan and joe mansion will file paperwork today to get the ball rolling. the white house in their first briefing of 2015 said they are already thinking about thinking about a veto of that bill. they are not sure yet. >> at this point to issue a veto threat with that piece of legislation we will take a careful look at it. >> he will let democrats attach an amendment to the bill but right now doesn't look like any of the additions will get to 60 votes needed to pass. the

john boehner he knows the guys are going to vote no against him. they're going to vote no down the line on a lot of stuff. but john boehner has an opportunity to work with mitch mcconnell to get stuff done and they're going to do it. >> here's the headline tonight. the revolt was set into motion, thanks to republican louie gohmert. he led the charge by announcing he was running against boehner for the leadership post. others then joined the fight. gohmert was cheered on by the right-wing media, and some in the grassroots. but in case you need reminding, this is the man they were rallying behind in their revolt against boehner. this is louie gohmert. >> i had one guy that was particularly out of line, and i warned him three times and then we duct taped his head and we didn't hear from him until it was his turn to talk. >> that was when you were a judge? >> that was when i was a judge. >> this administration has so many muslim brotherhood that have influence that they just are making wrong decisions for america. >> there's no assurance that if we did

with that said john boehner won. i would like to see a very bold agenda by the republican party so they can show the american people that there's a way to solve poverty, unemployment et cetera. you're going to speak to the republicans tomorrow. >> yes. i, for example, let's just take obama care, the biggest of all this time instead of repealing obama care, the bill so already 1,000 pages we'll make it 2,000. this are a thousand pages we'll get rid of and our thousand pages which will have tax incentives, change the tax system, john mccain is very much in favor of that. i have to say something, i was the first one to introduce that when i ran for president in 2007, the idea that everybody should get a tax exemption and buy their own health insurance. your employer buys your health insurance, my employer buys mine. give us the money tax free, we'll go in the market place have the whole country to choose from and we'll pick the policy that we want. you, because you have a lot of children, will pick a certain kind of pol

>> john boehner wishes we would not have drama. it is supposed to be a triumphant moment for republicans. john boehner expected to be elected to his third term as speaker, but he faces a republican rebellion. conservatives want to see someone else in the leadership position. john boehner can only suffer 28 defections and still hold on to the gavel. the question is, are there enough rebellious conservatives to stand in the way and force this into a second about? john boehner has been talking to members and trying to convince them to stick with him. >> what is your sense? >> we are probably at 18 by our headcount, and possibly more. i think they will not get the magic number, at least his opponents two blocks away. the important thing is, the people who are voting. there are people at mario cuomo's funeral that will make it a little easier for john boehner. however, it is an embarrassment he even has to do this. >> you think the people in new york for the funeral will affect the vote? >> yes. the people who are present is what matter

certainly for john boehner passes family, this man e-mailed john boehner's like directly. certainly a concern for his family and not some thing anyone should have to go through. >> peter cook, our chief washington correspondent. a bipartisan chief -- team of senators introduce legislation to reform immigration for high skilled workers. something the tech industry has really been focused on for the last several years. i want to bring in my guest host for the outer -- for the hour. great to see you this morning. you hear about all of the shenanigans again on immigration. you say what? you are still hiring? >> we are hiring and we hire immigrants. we have one guy with us right now who had to leave the country to get his visa. he is australian and he almost had to go back to australia to basically get a piece of paper. that is the operational heart and it is insane. >> he is still being hired. >> he is, but it makes you think twice about hiring someone. he is fantastic and he has got skills. >> there are 65,000 visas out there. can you honestly say in the tech sector, every si

they weren't going to beat john boehner. they were sending a message to to mitch mcconnell as much as they were to john boehner. don't compromise. boehner would clearly like to forge some kind of middle-of-the-road consensus on a few issues. it's not going to be easy and i don't think his party will make it easy for him. gl we conclude with eddie redmayne. >> what i loved about the script it was almost like a scrutiny or analysis of love in all its guises. it's this young, vibrant passionate love but it was also family love or love of subject matter, and ultimately the boundaries of love. and the physics of love element of it is interesting, because steven is in search of this theory of everything this one equation that explains everything but it always seems to me the notion of love is the one thing we can't quite articulate or reason. >> rose: al hunt and eddie redmayne when we continue. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by: >> rose: additional funding provided by: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of mul

bill: john boehner seek his third term as house speaker. he'she's being challenged by my nextest, ted yoho. >> john boehner is a nice guy but we are looking leadership and bringing up bills based on merit, not on politics. the 72-hour rule is a rule of congress that we abide by in our conference but we don't follow it. those are the rules that allow a nobody review a bill for at least 72 hours before we vote on it. the american people expect us to read a bill before we pass it. i put in an amendment last knight and it didn't pass. for to us do our due diligence we need to have that in place. we should fight from a leadership standpoint to say i want you to be well informed so we can do the best for our constituents. we work for the american people. bill: how many will oppose. >> you will see the numbers grow. i threw my name in the hat as an alternative. i heard people wanted an alternative to the status quo. i put my name in the hat and mr. gohmert put his name in the hat. people either vote for the status quo or the people who sent them h

i'm watching the vote and one of the first names is john boehner, john boehner, he didn't show up so he knew he didn't need the vote. however there was a group that said they wanted to push back, one of the congressmen got 13 votes, louie gomer got three votes, a senator even got a vote. it was interesting to watch. the message to john boehner is that there is a group that wants to be heard and they want to push back on some of the stuff. those 300 or so senate bills that have sat on harry reid's desk arelikely to come to a vote. >> we shouldn't buy this media created conflict between the right and the far right. because they only do that to take these spotlights off the left. so they always like whenever there was any kind of disagreement within the republicans, that's a huge deal. the conflict isn't about the right and the far right. it's between the persuasive and turn likely. the leadership that must compel not repel. so you're looking for not differences in degrees of ideology. but skills in seducing the public. so it's never been about whether or not louie gomer is more of a ri

but first, john boehner keeps his job. there was a surprisingly strong challenge to john boehner. a one-day blip or an omen of things to come? >> as we say in pong, blip. john boehner had his challenges. people on twitter and other places have said they would like to see him go. this was not his problem. he has other problems, but this is meaningless. >> i agree. it is a problem that is not going to define his speakership or ruin him. it is as much of a problem as it was before, except before he had to rely on democratic votes. now that republicans have all of congress -- >> all that matters is the next two years. the next two years, when boehner needs help, paul ryan, jeb hensarling, other conservatives will back him up. the whole thing is not on the president, but boehner and mcconnell taking risks. the two dozen who voted against him today will not matter. >> the responsibility will be more his watch than it was before. >> he is speaker and he recognizes that. he is not an angry guy. he is not a guy who was going to be rattled by this thing. you could imagine somebody who was s

senator rand paul. >> the honorable john boehner. >> john boehner won this one, but he had to fight off a serious insurrection. 25 members of his own party declined to vote for the guy nor any defections of speaker in recent memory. that's 13 more than the second highest in two decades, john boehner in the last congress. >>> so here's where we're at with the 114th congress. the speaker's party is at odds with him, still. and the guy who spent 14 e $13 million to give republicans full control of congress was back at it again to play it all out. he was there for today's big show. if things keep going his way, maybe they'll build a jerry jones style owner's box for him in the house gallery so he can watch his teams play. >>> so on this day of fresh starts and new beginnings, it's already looking like dog poop -- >> dog poop -- >> has nothing to fear. >> joining me now, dr. howard dean, he's also an msnbc contributor. >>> so if you look at it numerically, oh, he lost 25 voets. but, historically, this doesn just happen. everyone falls in line. they vote for the speaker. but there were three

boehner gaveled-- oh, my god! oh, my god, john boehner has become the wood of his own gavel! ( laughter ) john boehner-- he-- he is brute. he is brute. ( applause ) there you have it. your new house and senate republican majority, smooth sailing for them from hereon out. >> representative steve scalise is facing backlash after it was revealed he spoke before a white supremacist organization in 2002. >> jon: really, backlash? we have to look at it with a little historical content. back in 2002, back then, the civil rights act had only been in effect for ay really long time. good luck spinning your way out of this one, scalise. >> i'm not familiar who that griewt grooup was but from what i've seen about them they don't represent the values that i represent. i detest hate groups of any kind. >> jon: seriously though, you didn't know that you were talking to a white supremacist group? what did you think it was an oddly musicallist toga party? >> how could he not know? the group was founded by former ku klux klan grand wizard david dukes. it's called one of the leading top groups.

>> this was an ugly win for john boehner. losing a couple of dozen votes in your own party when there's no opposition, this is not a sign of strength for him but you would hope what it does for him is makes him listen more maybe to conservatives as they press, but i think for conservatives, they also have an idea here that their white house is still occupied by barack obama and you need to achieve what you can. >> you take this seriously, jason? >> it is what it is -- >> purely symbolic and didn't accomplish a thing. >> the people that were running to replace him were not serious contenders. if he was facing a serious challenge, we would have seen someone like henserling or paul ryan, that is not the caliber of candidate we saw coming out of this. the republicans picked up 14 seats. they have the largest majority in the house in nearly 80 years. voters seem to like the job that john boehner is doing. >> what about the president's response? >> he's now issued three veto threats already, one against the keystone approval rate a

the magic number for john boehner is 29. if he can avoid that it will stay on a single ballot and he will prevail as speaker of the house. at at someone republicans really want our focus and the nations focus to be on all the things they plan to do now that they have control of the house and senate, we will see what this vote tally is. it's a distraction and embarrassment. it's not the way they want to kick things off. >> when they get past this, it sounds like john boehner will likely get past of this. what is the first big vote on the agenda for congress? >> even before the new year began, it is the keystone pipeline. you will have the introduction of legislation to authorize the keystone pipeline in the senate today and news conference is planned with a vote in the house perhaps later this week on friday. this is legislation that will authorize the keystone pipeline and will challenge president obama to veto this legislation. right now, it looks like they have the 60 votes they need to get a pass in the senate which they

but you can see john boehner coming down. this is the image that you usually see during the state of the union with the leaders coming down after the -- before the president. and now he's coming down he is shaking hands with not just republicans but with democrats, the brand new 114th congress. and he is now the leader. and i think this is an important thing to keep in mind. you have leadership of both parties in both chambers. but the speaker of the house is the speaker of the entire house of representatives which is why you see it play out as it did. you don't see that in either chamber. and that's why this has been -- there's been so much formality. one member of congress came out and joked that back in the chamber of 1789. because they did everything by hand. they didn't do it the modern way as they normally do. this is very much a traditional historically based moment for the house of representatives. and for the -- for the constitution. >> but as you point out, unique because he's elected constitutionally not by the cau

boehner's chair to the wood of john boehner's ass! i say that he has wood there-- (applause) >> and let me say this again and i have said this before and i say this to you tonight the american people john boehner is grute. watch, watch, as the president has to go remedial on these folks. >> in is good news people. >> jon: this is good news. you [bleep] idiots! after the speech we're going to eat food. it goes in your mouth hole. >> not if you made it. bleh. >> and incidentally democrats didn't mention this good news during the midterms because you know they wanted to keep control of the senate but not at the cost of giving away any state of the union -- >> last night it was like the entire gop realized it was allergic to applauding things. although to be fair to one republican senate majority leader senate mitch mcconnell had rolled on to his back and could not be turned over unaided. he was-- (applause) >> but even though-- he was tired of watching t even though the president speaks with affection for how our country really is unifie

john boehner needs a majority of the house to vote for him. democrats will vote for nancy pelosi in there might be some who don't vote for her but vote for another democrat. john boehner needs to keep that number under 28 or so, and it looks like he has got that. what remains to be seen -- overall, it is a safe bet that john boehner is going to be speaker. host: in terms of what happened to use goat versus this time around, there are a couple of different candidates that have put their names forward. is it unusual that they haven't coalesced around one financial t -- one potential pick. guest: it is a shift in strategy, and the dynamics are different. they had lost seats in the senate, lost the presidential race lost seats in the house. here john boehner and his team have picked up 13 house seats. he has got momentum. the shift in strategy you mentioned is because last time around they did not coalesce behind one. vote for whoever you want and maybe we can get it to a second ballot and basically create chaos, and it was chaotic because it got

so it will be interesting to see what john boehner says today. >> to me the big message john, the middle class economics. the president says it's working cited a number of examples. what is the republican response to this? did they have a plan a middle class economic plan? >> reporter: we'll find out. looking when mitt romney went to san diego to tell the members of the republican national committee he was thinking about running for president again, what was his message? he said under obama the rich have gotten richer and the middle class deserves a raise, and i want to do something about poverty. that is a stark indication that the republican party is going to engage on these issues of what about flatlined middle class incomes. middle class incomes have not gone up for 40 years. and now that we're have turned the corner from the great recession and the financial crisis, this squarely what american politics in congress and the 2016 campaign are going to be about. >> there's a big divergence here. de in. s think they can do it from the rich to the poor. i don't think anybody close an inco

three threats to john boehner in the past year. according to police it was hoyt who called police and told them about his plan to kill the speaker. if he had not made that call would there have been any clue? this is a guy who was sitting there pouring the guy drinks. someone you wouldn't even think twice about wanted to take your life. >> yes. he had been fired from that job for which he blamed boehner. you would think he would tell other people or brag about it. that's the hope is that some other way this would come to the attention of the authorities without quote, ratting himself out on the phone call. it's just sounds ridiculous and almost funny in its absurdity except mentally ill people with guns in this country, how many times have we seen that movie? >> it's fair point. i think you maybe it. sobering anyone up who did take it with humor. >>> breaking news on air asia flight 8501. data is being downloaded from one of the black boxes. we'll be back. daughter: do you and mom still have money with that broker? dad: yeah, 20 so

senator rand paul. >> the honorable john boehner. >> john boehner won this one, but he had to fight off a serious insurrection. 25 members of his own party declined to vote for the guy more defections of speaker in recent memory. that's 13 more than the second highest in two decades, john boehner in the last congress. >>> so here's where we're at with the 114th congress. the speaker's party is at odds with him, still. and the guy who spent $13 million to give republicans full control of congress was back at it again to play it all out. he was there for today's big show. if things keep going his way, maybe they'll build a jerry jones style owner's box for him in the house gallery so he can watch his teams play. so on this day of fresh starts and new beginnings, it's already looking like dog poop -- >> dog poop -- >> has nothing to fear. >> joining me now, dr. howard dean, he's also an msnbc contributor. so if you look at it numerically, oh, he lost 25 votes. but, historically, this doesn't just happen. everyone falls in line. they vote for the speaker. but there were three freshmen repub

we know that john boehner sort of knew mr. hoyt as a bartender at his local ohio country club and the speaker is often there playing golf and enjoying merlot two of the things he likes to do in his off time. the other thing, tamron that's chilling about this is the fact is that mr. hoyt did have a lot of weapons at his home. it was found at his home the ammunition for an sks assault rifle. thankfully his mother in fact actually took the rifle out of his apartment when he wasn't around because she was worried about her son's mental state. so this is certainly something that caused alarm on capitol hill. the speaker of the house is protected by capital police but not the same secret service detail as for the president or vice president. there's some semblance of advance team but not like people are screened to the left and right like the president and vice president. the speaker said speaker boehner is aware of the situation and sincerely thanks the fbi, capitol police and local authorities in ohio for their effort. we tried to
