hundreds of people in narrow corridors right in front of john boehner's office. the pressure on republicans is huge. the majority of americans are on the side of the immigrants. the republican party, many believe that politicians need more support from latinos to stay relevant. when she and her friend knock, there is no answer. least there is a plan b. many children have written cards asking the politicians for help. maria is waiting at the back of the line. she sees that john boehner has a heart for undocumented immigrants. >> we hope he has one. he is human just like we are. hopefully he has a heart. after this, the activists go their separate ways and tried to meet up with other politicians. visit from the friendly representative from their home state. is a democrat who supports the proposed immigration reform. hehout the latino vote, probably would not have much of a chance in his district in phoenix. first he chats with the kids about food in school back on. then he asks -- is asked the all-important question. does he think immigration reforms still has a ch

this is history in the making and you say it is not long before they follow suit, even though john boehner says it isn't going to happen. 193 cosponsors five republicans will be more every day, i think he will allow this to go to the vote. >> when this vote happened your cell phone started ringing how many calls have you been getting and what have those texts and called been saying? >> social media is on fire. i have been getting congratulationed. i have worked somewhat on this bill. i try to disarm some of the opponents like the national organization for marriage, which continue to fight every day, and continue to move around the country as a hate group, fighting marriage equality, and everything that they feel will help the community. it has been an exciting kay for me, and hopefully with the stone wall where we usually meet in new york, where great things happen like the repeal of don't ask don't tell, last june that came down, and very excited. >> by the way we do have the final vote, 64-32, what do you think about those numbers? >> it is better than i expected. we were lucky to get th

house spoker john boehner says the house will not negotiate on the bill. it will provide a path for citizenship for undocumented immigrants. john boehner believes it's important to pass immigration reform, but the focus for the session will be on the budget and health care. . >>> for many people on the eastern sea bored to the south-east it's been the biggest taste of winter so far. as we have gotten into november. what we are seeing is all the canadian polar air mass to parts of northern florida. across the region we'll see overnight lows. as you wake into the morning to the mid 20s, towards birmingham. to the north-west you are seeing clouds across the pacific. we'll see rain showers coming into the forecast for seattle. they haven't been as hard as what we saw previously. that storm system is moving over parts of montana. this is what the 5-day forecast looks like. raining thursday, harder friday. by the time we get to saturday and sunday you'll see a break in the rain and temperatures getting to 41 degrees. down to the south-west things are looking nic

john boehner has said we will never take up the senate bill and we will not do that. no one expects him to take up the senate bil you do expect the house to address these issues. do not forget, they have tried to rebrand the republican party. we have to do something abobo our brand, they have said. in light of the last election. i think not because of president obama that of their own self- intererest. they will have to do something on immigrati reform. not the whole package. along the lines of what mark is talking about. they have to put s something on the tatable. if they hope to have access to this large voting block that has turned off from them. >> i am the cynic here. i think this is one of the ways at the vote in the senate will hurt. it will not happen. already you see people who supported immigration reform in the senate on the republican side backing away. they do not want to be stuck with it. brokenhows you how truly things are. is this soverwhelminy in the republicans' interest? to write off the hispanic community is too canend themselves to beinthe minori

speaker of the house john boehner said it this wing. immigration reform is not dead in the house of representatives. but, he says, comprehensive, sweeping reform tied up in one big package is not going to happen. with only eight days left on the legislative calendar before congress breaks for the holidays this issue moves until 2014 an election year. on this edition of "inside story" we'll dig into the immigration issue in detail, the dueling goals and legislative strategies. but first this background. >> immigration reform dead? absolutely not. i've made clear going back to the day after the last election in 2012 that it was time for congress to deal with this iss issue. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner spoke optimistically about the issue of immigration reform thursday, however he didn't offer a deadline. >> i was encouraged that the president said he wouldn't stand in the way of a step-by-step immigration reform. as you know that's the approach the house republicans have tak taken. there are people who are skeptical of big com

. >> you've been listening to house speaker, john boehner, a news conference a short a while ago. the breaking news coming out this morning, senator boehner saying that the reform bill, passed by the senate. and also saying a short time ago to reporters, that if changes are made to the federal affordable care act, there's no guarantee that the changes will be vod on by the house. speaker boehner saying that there may not be enough time. we're awaiting word from the white house concerning the news that there will be changes made. it has to do with the promise made over and over again in the campaign by president obama that if you liked your insurance plan, you would be able to keep it. that has led to a rather contentious battle in the nation's capital. it began a month ago when cath leap sebelius was called to capitol hill to tell congress what would happen when the rogout melted down, and then just two days ago, we heard from former president, bill clinton, who had this to say. >> i personally believe, even if it takes changing the law, the president should honor the commitment t

john boehner, we know that the fate really rests in his hands and his hands alone. he is the speaker of the house. if he brings it up to a vote, it will almost certainly pass. what is the next step? are you guys going to say, we tried or is there going to be more pressure to bear on him? >> well, this movement is made up of people so resilient it will not stop now. this movement, it is not something that is political. it is something that is dealing with human lives. you really think that people who only want to better their lives, who only want to give their children a chance, who only want a chance at education, you think they're only going to stop because one man says oh, no way are we going to push it through this year. no, we have been persistent for a number of years. >> this is just an extension of the civil rights movement, it is not going to end until we get what we want, comprehensive immigration. >> they passed the torch down to us until boehner says yes, because we know that boehner is going to have to say yes, because once politicians see interest and p

john boehner has said we will never take up the senate bill. we will not do that. they do expect the house to address the issues. tried forget, they have to rebrand the republican party. we have to do something about our brand, they have said. i think not because of president obama that of their own self- interest. they will have to do something on immigration reform. not the whole package. along the lines of what mark is talking about. they have to put something on the table. if they hope to have access to this large voting block that has turned off from them. >> i think this is one of the ways that the vote in the senate will hurt. it will not happen. already you see people who supported immigration reform in the senate on the republic on side backing way. -- republican side backing away. >> is this so overwhelmingly in ?he republicans' interest theresiness community, all for this. there is a huge incentive to get foreign workers in here. it is the right thing to do on a lot of levels. there are is so much going forward. this thing cannot pass, it shows you that

gwen: john boehner a couple of weeks ago was at the bottom of the pile after the government shutdown. now the republicans see a little daylight. >> a lot of daylight and one month tomorrow is when the government shutdown ended. girlfriend. is that all? >> things really hang in a hurry. the white house is hoping this will change in a hurry but probably not so fast. i had heard speaker boehner say similar things throughout the year but this time is different. the president, a failed website have ginn republicans a huge opening and today 39 democrats voted with the republicans on the upton bill to basically defy the president and their house leadership and they want to cast a vote. even as the president was speaking yesterday for a pretty long time answering a lot of questions on purpose to try and show people that he is sorry and get the trust back . senate democrats were like we actually want a vote on this. we want part of our voting record to include some kind of a fix for obamacare because they're running for re-election next year. gwen: and the leader of that movement was senator m

john boehner couldn't control them last time. there's no reason to believe he's going to be able to next time. >> i think there's plenty of reason to believe. >> give me one reason. why are they more likely to follow baner oehner now? >> he's not going to shut down the government. >> why doesn't john boehner, he's a likable guy in a empathetic way. why doesn't he call a vote, call all republicans in a big room, shut the media out and say i want to vote right now. am i your speaker? or do i got to kiss butt for the rest of my time here? am i your leader? if a bunch of right wing crazies say i get to veto everything you do, say fine. run anybody against me. >> nobody right now could beat john boehner. >> why doesn't he show that? >> if this was a learning process for a lot of new members. they went through it, it was painful. they learned not to shut down the government. they're not going to do it again. when the government doesn't shut down, their ratings go up. >> you noticed. >> i know. >> say with the hammer why are you hitting

. >> isn't part of what's missed, that comment from john boehner when john boehner said this is a government takeover of the health care system. >> the best run health care delivery service in the world with 47 million uninsured. >> there's that, but also the idea it's the government's fault. what we're talking about here is the fact that the private insurance companies and the private company that set up the website has created a lot of the problems here. in other words, i would say this is a failure of the idea that when you outsource things -- >> i'm going to interrupt you. the president is about to take the podium. lets whoer what he has to say. >> i'll take a couple of questions but before i do i want to say a few words about the tragedy that's unfolded in the philippines. over the past few days, i think all of us have been shaken by images of the devastation brought by typhoon haiyan. it's a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile life is. among the dead are several americans. our prayers are with the filipino people and filipino americans across the country who are anxious about their f

speaker john boehner personally will not let that happen. and so these emotional protests not only continue but they are getting more and more intimately focused on the republican leaders in the house, who actually are the only reason why this policy is not changing. why this long awaited reform is not happening. speaker john boehner eats breakfast every morning at the same diner in washington, d.c. it is not a secret he does it. it is supposed to be one of the charmingly down to earth things we don't know about him. forget the tanning and the golfing, look, he eats grits. but with him standing in front of immigration reform and the kids organizing for reform, and being so bold and emotionally compelling in their appeals it probably was just a matter of time before john boehner sitting there at the diner had a spectacularly articulate latina 13-year-old, telling him very politely as he was eating his grits, her father was being deported, and please wouldn't he allow a vote. and there they were again talking to his windows in the pre-dawn glo

you mentioned the fact that the house of representatives, speaker, john boehner, does not favor this legislation. says that it would hurt small businesses because there would be an increase in litigation that would cause small businesses to have to defend themselves in court. the white house dismisses that excuse. the white house's reaction and in the senate, here's what he had to stay. >> some of the objection that's i've heard from members of the house are reminiscent of objections of other opponents of other civil rights legislation put forward. they were wrong then and they're wrong now. this is the right thing to do. it's the wrong thing to do because we're all equal. -- right thing to do. >> again, the party of social conservatives and members of congress, and the business community simply the lower taxes of the regulation-free environment. the family research council, a leading research organization, here's what they had to say about the legislation today...,. >> john boehner saying that he's not going to bring this up in the house of representatives. and in all, there were 60

house speaker john boehner in the house, i should say, house speaker john boehner has already said he may not even bring this to the floor. he thinks that this employment nondiscrimination act may actually cost america jobs and promote frivolous lawsuits. and so they may not even get a chance to vote. the senate, however, is expected to vote on this before the end of the week. they decided last night to move it forward with the support of seven republicans who say it is high time there was a federal law protecting gay and lesbian workers against discrimination. there's a patchwork of state laws right now. 21 states plus the district of columbia, washington, d.c., protect against this type of discrimination. if it fails here on capitol hill, the white house has not ruled out an executive order. but that would only affect federal contractors. alex? >> yeah, we should all be able to go to work and just be able to work, right? not worry about the rest of it. okay, tracie, thanks so much. >>> one of the three women held captive in that cleveland house of horrors is speaking out in an exclu

john boehner announced the strategy after the end of the shutdown and when he spoke to the republican caucus. he said, "remember our strategy for stopping obamacare - it is tarted legislative strikes aimed at shattering the legislative coalition that the president used to force this law on the nation. namely what they want to do is split the democrats. they want to have democrats cowering in terror over having to run next year with a burden of defending the law, and the expectation is a lot of democrats will defect and the upton bill will pass the house. the danger is it could pass the senate. the president will veto it, it could be a situation with the democratic coalition shattered to pieces. that is the republican strategy. >> more than 3.5 years later after this was signed into law we are still discussing it. >> coming up we take you to the philippines as the region has gone from surviving the disas ter to illness. and also scandal and what it means for the force and we track the top stories on the web. what is trending. >> a lot of kids will be happy to hear this - recess is good

the member of congress who did that is house speaker john boehner. what? i expected it be like, i don't know, louie gohmert or michelle bachmann, the ghost of jesse helms, but the actual speaker of the house, john boehner stepped up personally to make sure that that anti-gay group was well taken care of today at the united states capitol. your tax dollars at work. he's third in line to the presidency. what? fred phelps from the westboro baptist church didn't need to use the room at that time? we didn't have any extra space for them. john boehner also made news this week by repeating his insistence that he will not allow the employment discrimination act come up for a vote in the house. right now, legally, you can't discriminate in employment in this country on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or genetic formation. the bill that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of basis on which you cannot discriminate. right now in the majority of american states, if your boss hears that you're gay or decide

but it's an amend in order to end it. >> for john boehner, half of life is making sure you don't show up. joining me now, obick roy, author of, quote, how medicaid fails the poor. i wanted to have you on because you wrote a piece for "the huffington post" about debate after the debate we're having about plan cancellations, and you said there's a lot les here than it appears. what do you mean by that? >> you try to put some meaning into this, okay, president obama said you can keep your plan. what do you think he meant? did he mean that insurers could not drop plans? i don't think people could have thought that, because it makes no sense. he also said you could keep your doctor, does that mean he's going to keep doctors from retiring or dying? presumably what he meant that the affordable care act would not directly cancel plans that were in effect. and it doesn't cancel plans that are in effect. it grandfathers all the plans that were in effect at the time the bill was passed. a lot of people running around, saying oh, my god, plans are being cancelled. okay, well, plans that were put

. >> we have to knock sense into john boehner. children are separated day in, day out. >> republican house speaker john boehner said he will not allow a vote on what is called a top priority. normally the president would do this. >> let your member of the congress know. get them on record. ask your member of congress. >> on the debt, taxes and guns the president has pressured congress by getting the american public to weigh in. according to polls the american people are not in the mood to listen to him now. his approval rating is low. 57% disapprove of what he's doing. more damaging - the area he's excelled this has been hit hard. 49% of those asked say he's honest and trustworthy due in large part to the rocky health care roll out. a website that does not work, and for many, it is too expensive. >> the idea that the president can go to the country and ask for the people's support for comprehensive immigration reform is fanciful. the president can do nothing else until he gets his arms around the early difficulties with the afford

john boehner applauded the statement saying that democrats concerned about the president's broken promise should join republicans in voting to pass the keep your health plan act. that bill would allow insurance companies to continue try and sell that policy in the media, now the roles have been completely reversed. republican lawmakers now take their own legislative agenda straight from the conservative media talking point of the day. it's a legislative meth perfected during the shutdown. when republicans voted based solely on whatever was on fox the previous day. remember, it was the right wing media -- >> according to the daily caller, they say this is the first time in history that things have been totally offlimits to visitors during shutdown. >> then house republicans quickly wrote a bill. >> put up barricades to keep them away from their greater accomplishments -- >> how to use cancer patients to bash democrats. >> why would we want to help one kid with cancer? do i even have to begin to answer that? >> reporter: and like clock work--how do you know the republican party is acting in

as both of you know it's unlikely to get past the house of representatives, and john boehner's office released this statement saying: mia, what do you say to someone like speaker john boehner who argues that this makes lgtp people more equal than the rest of us and give them more rights? >> the two main points with what he was speaking today is - first of all, why are we debating. i believe this is the rocking chair moment in your life that senators and congress men and women get a chance to be actively part of a group of - we are debating who not to pick on. we are making a law - the reason, you know, what did you say 80% of the people or 68% of people thought it was law - yes, because this is so - it seems childish that we are sitting here debating passing a law not picking on people. his sense of small business - it's funny, because businesses have been the first and foremost. and unions around the country and people stepped up in the workplace to own businesses. even today a bunch of companies came out. i think he's flawed. i think it's fear. i don't know in it helps to raise mone

house speaker john boehner was asked about it. we'll tell you what he said about it up next. >>> so another day another politician with a major scandal threatening to end his career. this time it's trey radel. he pleaded guilty yesterday to buying cocaine and entered a program today for substance abuse. he addressed the problem last night. >> i won't sit here and make excuses for what identify done. i've let down our country. i've let down our constituents. i've let down my family. i'll take a leave of absence, taking responsibility that i need to own town what in need to do, get well and come out of this as a better man. i'm struggling with this disease but i can overcome it. >> the congressman will take a ave of absence opinion should he step down? let's listen to speaker boehner. >> i believe members of congress should be held to the highest ethical standard. i think at this point mr. radel, the issue is between he and his family and his constituents. >> eric, do you think that he should go ahead and resign or go through the tr

it appears that it's going through the senate and there are questions if john boehner will bring it on the floor of the house. as a republican what is your reaction to that. >> i heard a little rumbling we he statedde stated he would noto oppose discrimination in the work place. >> this is someone who is truly ahead of his time and the republican party has left the reservation. >> there are people like him that say it will cause privilegs lawsuits. >> that is bs and now we need this class of people pro ticket the protected. >> people go to bjork i work ine kloss ol hecloset like i go fo . i came out with proposition eight anded my secret was out. i worked for nine presidential campains and i made the 150t 10h my own. >> i thii think the first openly candidate should be a republican. as far as gay civil rights lightning speeding. and we owe a lot to the deemedcratic party and there have been courageous results. rs it's becoming far more bipart bipartisan. >> some have suggested there are young he were voters coming in to the election. >> who wants to be on the wrong side of history? who

that's how john boehner got to be the speaker. we have a majority and john boehner is doing his job because the people who elected the majority in the house said we don't want obama care, we don't want intrusive government into our lives, particularly in our health care and so john boehner has held the line. and by the way, they compromised about delaying obama care and look what happened? it ended up in a government shutdown and now you have democrats who are split. democrats who don't want, by the way, obama campaigning in their district. we saw that in louisiana with mary landrieu, so here we are. >> matt, we did end up with a government shutdown, the question is why? >> well, it's very clear why, because republicans refused to pass a budget and played chicken with the full faith and credit of the united states. >> the house did pass a budget. the senate didn't take it up. >> no, that's ridiculous. >> no, it's not ridiculous. the house passed a budget. it didn't include obama care. they didn't take it up. >> that's a pretty big

speaker of the house john boehner. with seven senate republicans supporting the vote on monday, the upper chamber is poised to approve the bill this week. but speaker boehner has already indicated he will not bring it up for a vote in the house. his reasoning? the speaker believes this legislation will increase frivolous litigation and cost american jobs. and yet, the nonpart son government accountability office found that last year in the 21 states with laws protecting lgbt employees, lawsuits that included a claim of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identification were less than 7% of all employer discrimination litigation. facts be damned, leaders of the gop may continue to dig in their heels, but time and justice continue their inexrabble march forward. if you needed anymore proof, lawmakers yesterday made illinois the 15th state to allow same-sex marriage. governor pat quinn says he will sign it at some point this month. joining us now from washington is president of the human rights campaign c
