billion, and john boehner wouldn't admit to that number, and here's why. republican wanted him to say here's a number and say all we have to do is meet that number. however we choose to meet it -- gwen: the number being the amount of money that would be cut. >> exactly. the amount that would be cut, which is just to run the government for the rest of this year. so that was the size of the cuts. boehner said it's not just about a number, it's the kinds of cuts, and that's the riders that are in here, some which are important to his republican conference and those dealt with the environmental protection agency, health care, with planned parenthood. every time the democrat family said we want those riders to go away, then the amount of cuts had to go up because boehner -- it was like a seesaw. he knew that in order to get his caucus to get all of them to vote for it, he would have to by them off one way or another. if he was going to disappoint them and say you couldn't get what you want on abortion, they say you better have brought us something, which means greater cuts. gwen: so as

betrayal. john boehner had a tough time. with the democratic votes -- without democratic votes -- he lost republicans, and without the democratic votes it goes down. >> it was a triumph on his part considering how the deal was demagogued and distorted in the last three days. yes, only 1% would have been appropriated in this fiscal year, which only has 5.5 months to go. but the savings are real. denial of authorization, so it cannot be spent in the future. it is real money. it is not going to happen between now and october. distortion is what led a lot of republicans on at the right to think that they were betrayed. given those facts, what they ended up with, losing only 1/3 of the freshman, was rather good. >> john boehner could not have gotten it done without the democrats. that is the harbinger of things to come. john boehner does not have full control of this conference -- >> democrats don't, either. >> well, it is not clear -- >> he is the leader -- >> this is larger, but it was controlled, as it were. i actually think we will have a government shutdown, probably not over the deb

president obama can do business with the new house speaker john boehner, but republicans wanted to cut more spending and democrats wanted to cut less. differences that are only likely to deepen as congress gets ready to deal with next year's budget and raising the debt limit in the next several weeks. chris? >> chris: carl cameron reporting from capitol hill. thanks for that. joining us now is david plouffe, president obama's senior advisor. mr. plouffe, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> good to be with you, chris. >> chris: let's peel back a little of the process. you have gone out today, pretaped some of the other sunday shows and you are live here on "fox news sunday." you are apparently saying that the president is going to lay out this week new plans to cut the deficit. tell us about it. >> well, the approach this week in terms of the scale of debt reduction the country needs to grow economically and in the future, a balanced approach. obviously, we need to look at all corners of government. as he said previously, the healthcare law is $1 trillion in reduction in the decad

contrasts. but for president obama's democrats and john boehner's republicans, a vigorous political disagreement has shed new light on their drastically different visions of government. the president made his case before an invited audience at george washington university wednesday and again last night at a campaign fundraiser in chicago. >> we've got to reform defense spending. we've got to reform health care spending. but we're not going to sacrifice our fundamental commitment that we made to one another through medicare and medicaid and social security, the safety net for our people. gwen: house budget committee chairman paul ryan laid out his vision on the house floor today. >> this is the most predictable economic crisis we've ever had in the history of this country, and yet we have a president that is unwilling to lead. every politician in this town knows we have a debt crisis. they know we are in danger. we cannot avoid this choice. to govern is to choose. gwen: ryan's plan to slash the budget is not likely to survive a senate vote, but his underlying arguments set the stage

at the beginning of the debate. >> here's the thing that john boehner understands that a lot of his new members don't. you can't overinterpret your mandate when you're elected. they were elected to get things done, not because people were in love with republicans, not because people were in love with the notion of shutting down government to make a political point. chris: you sure? don't you think a lot of tea partyers will get re-elected because they beat more republican republicans? they're not going to lose next year, are they? >> they're not if you're going to go overboard. independent voters, senior voters, very very important. chris: the closer you get to being a senior, the more you realize that getting your check and having your health care taken care of is most important. the ones we agree are thinking about being president some day and they could be elected. romnifment paul endy, -- pawlenty, barbour even. none of them have bought into the tough-cutting approach of paul ryan. they say things like well, he set the right tone or it's a good start. very instant. >> they're do

all the deficit talk until later house speaker john boehner signaled this weekend that it is not going to be that simple. when the president says i want you to send me a clean bill well yes well mr president not a chance you're going to get a clean bill. i can just tell you this there will not be an increase in the debt limit without something really really big attached to it. so does this mean that republicans are willing to hold the country hostage all that what they want here to discuss with me is benji's silent aggression the reporter at talking points and you thanks so much for being here thanks for having me first starters i hate these people honestly how old noxious is that the last week everyone has to worry about a looming government shutdown there are eight hundred thousand federal workers that had to leave work on friday not knowing if they're going to come back on monday not knowing when they're going to get their next paycheck and these guys decide to just you know wait till it's down to the wire and how finally i think that it works better for everyone you know it m

working off the same number. that number is $33 billion. now house speaker john boehner said today ty weren't operating off that number. of course the current house number is $61 billion. it's a game of chicken. decrs epaving. but is it now all eyes on the republicans? >> well, i think they're caving less on the question of the amount, although they have caved somewhat on that.loy' d e sctiar n-den discretionary spending that democrats think will hurt the economy and hurt less fortunate americans. so they have lost the pr battle on the terrain and are now actual number. >> for the first time, richard veme stdn. 'rlieng t ppl o nt ut enng wcagr o eno. there no agemt on a set of numbers, and nothing will be agreed to until everything is agreed to. i've said it and i'm going to se is the fact. >> so, richard, they got job boehner to say there is no agreement. that's actually something they have been trying to do because now it looks like he's standing in the way of the deal. >> he's a different dynamic. the white house is playing for independence. it wants to be reasonable, look annoy

" is now "unified protector." and house speaker john boehner wishes someone, nato, anyone, could protect him from the sheer madness of eric cantor. >> the senate's got to act prior to the expiration of cr. if it does not act, hr-1 becomes the law of the land. >> the misunderstanding of the constitution by these people is profound. >> after i devoted last night's show to teaching eric cantor how wrong he was, eric cantor gets it right today. >> the problem is the president's in the white house. it is up to harry reid. >> we can't impose our will on the senate. >> so that means the republicans have to compromise with senate democrats. democrats say there's a deal. republicans say no deal. >> a deal is in sight. >> and nothing will be agreed to until everything is agreed to. >> compromise numbers reportedly around $33 billion. >> the government is set to run out of money a week from tomorrow, april 8th. >> democrats are rooting for a government shutdown. >> are you rooting for a government shutdown? >> that's absolute nonsense. >> boehner's like a girlfriend who's been proposed to,

whether john boehner did his members proud. and i'll ask the leading house democrat if compromise came at too great a cost. "this week" brought to you by -- breathe in, breathe out. as volatile as markets have been lately, having the security of a strong financial partner certainly lets you breathe easier. for more than 140 years, pacific life has helped millions of americans build a secure financial future wouldn't it be nice to take a deep breath and relax? ask a financial professional about pacific life. the power to help you succeed. >>> leaders in both parties reached an agreement that allow the small busies to >>> leaders in both parties reached an agreement that allow the small businesses to get the loans they need. our families to get the mortgages they applied for. and hundreds of thousand of americans to show up at work and take home their paychecks on time including our brave men and women in uniform. >> we fought to keep the government spending down, because it really will, in fact, help a better environment for job creators in our country. >>> a victory lap from presi

, john boehner. they only door around shutting down governments to make them fiscally sound when they have the opposite of their person in the white house. yesterday i heard a british economist talking about how the economy is really on the upswing and he says that the paul ryan and policies are going to virtually return to the decade of the 1900's and what life was like than for big corporations. robert k. johnston, he has written several books and points out factually how the pore actually pay for the rich in terms of how government policies are written. i was so saddened to see what happened last friday night. it saddens me to say this but i had to, i felt like the republican party, the leaders of the republican party, not all of them, but the leaders, they became a party of ignominy. i feel that it is too harsh to say as humans year, but we came close to using our troops that way, denying them pay on the battlefield while the members of congress continued to keep their pay. i think that if the president pointed out the factual things that i just mentioned, they would not need

republican party right now john boehner comes out and says oh yeah we were going to work this thing out i mean literally comes out and talks the president work this thing goes back into a meeting with his own caucus comes back out now or half later goes. where i go to work this thing that they've got a great question and i would not want to be john boehner for a lot of reasons right now he has two sides point against him in a matter what he does he's going to lose if he doesn't ask for enough budget cuts he's going to lose if you ask for too much he's going to lose those not very agreeable to john peter right now i don't think it's really about john boehner i think it's about america and i think sometimes you make what leadership is about is making tough decisions and deciding what's best for this country and whether or not i learned early and also again about america and their six trillion dollar deficit we have a fourteen trillion dollar debt that none of the democrats have addressed surely you know real but actually it was an address did he give us a friggin surplus that was nine

right now because john boehner is a deal maker and his caucus will not let him cut the deal that's there to be made right now. >> charlie: how do the republican house members view the gingrich shut down that clinton so craftily used to sort of change the debate in washington? do they have no fear of that analogy? >> well, it's interesting. you got a bit of a divide between those who are actually here during that last government shut down. like john boehner. john boehner has spoken consistently both publicly and privately about how he wanted to avoid a government shut down, to avoid where he is right now. but the new freshman class, and some of the other real fire breaker conservatives in the house conference were not here. the memory is not quite as vivid for them. the memory by the way, charlie, is also very vivid for the leaders in the democrat caucus in the senate. durbin was here in the house, shoeman was here, harry reid was here. they saw what happened the last time around there was a government shut down. and they saw how it was blamed on republicans and how craftily you sai

john boehner speaker of the house made their own statements. >> we will continue to fight again for the largest steps possible. we're not going to allow the senate nor the whitehouse to put us in a box where we have to make a choice between two bad options. cutting a bad deal this week in order to keep the government open. or allow the government to shut down due to senate enaction. >> i'm going to do everything i can do and i hope the republicans do what the country needs, not what they believe the tea party wants. i think that the tea party was driving what goes on in the house of representatives. >> charlie: as the fight over current spending intensified, house republicans presented their own long-term budget plan for next year crafted by congressman paul ryan, the proposal will cut roughly $6 trillion in spending over the next decade. >> our goal here is to leave our children and our grandchildren with a debt free nation. the president's recent budget proposal that he gave is worse than just the commitment to the status quo. the president actually accelerates our decent into a d

. >> reporter: at a fundraiser last night in connecticut, republican speaker john boehner regaled a partisan audience with insider details of the negotiations. >> all of a sudden the jovial, "never says a nasty word" joe biden jumps up and says, "well, i think we've had enough of this. i think we ought to shut it down and let the american people decide." >> schieffer: so. what happens now with a bigger battle being raised to lower the debt ceiling. we'll bring in jeff sessions the ranking republican on the senate budget committee, and new york's chuck schumer, a member of the senate's democratic leadership. we'll round out the discussion with two reporters who covered this story-- cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes, and major garrett of the national journal. it's all ahead on "face the nation." captioning sponsored by cbs "face the nation" with cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. and now from washington, bob schieffer. >> schieffer: and good morning again. welcome to "face the nation." senator sessions is in the studio with us this morning. senator chuck sch

. john boehner it is many things, but it is not a larger-than-life figure. these republicans came to power not with a big 10. agenda -- 10-point agenda. they have not accomplished a lot legislatively. they transformed the terms of debate. it really does feel very different. of course, there is this problem of senate -- the sense not been under republican control -- the senate not been under republican control. >> let me turn to vin. if you could tell us about the republican mood that year. take this into the end of the year where we reach the final budget showdown. what republicans were thinking, and if i am not wrong, republicans are confident enough that public opinion might turn in their direction. talk a little bit about the gear in general. tell us a little bit about what was in the minds of leaders going into that in the 1995. >> gets laid the framework for eckerd the most important similarities -- janet laid the framework for it. the republicans came to washington with the shock of their own victory. republicans did not think they would control the congress great newt gingrich

dollar deficit in washington today when john boehner said look we only have one half of 1/3 of the government we are going to continue to fight for the largest spending cuts that we can to keep the government open and funded through the balance of the fiscal year. a lot of conservatives got concerned. because they are wondering if republicans might be willing to cave on what is frankly, a fairly miniscule cut of 61 billion. >> sean, i've got enough issues to deal with this this state. what i can tell you is, a couple of things. first, john boehner is a real conservative. john boehner was involved in helping the republicans to get the majority in 1994. that led us to a point where we reformed welfare. i was the chairman of the budget committee. we balanced the budget for the first time since man walked on the moon. cut taxes and we had a great growth economy. so, i know there's always consternation in washington. bottom line is, control the government spending. provide incentives for job creation. they have to deal with this 14 trillion dollar deficit. >> sean: i talked to paul ryan

weekend. >> hello. i am john boehner. i ran a small business back in ohio. small businesses are the engine of job creation in america. they actually create jobs. the government does not. that is why i ran for congress. despite some recent signs of life, our economy still is not creating enough jobs. one of the reasons for this is the business here going on in washington. washington's inability to get spending under control, creating uncertainty for our job creation, discouraging investment and its eroding confidence in our economy. the spending binge in washington is holding our country back and keeping our economy from creating jobs. last year, when the president try to put forward another big spending budget, americans demanded that we stopped the spending binge and started working together to create a better environment for job creation. they put in new majority in charge of the house with clear orders. so our economy can get back to creating jobs. we have made some early progress. this year, the federal government will spend $51 billion less than it would have. because we kept t

john boehner and harry reid. >> tom: susie, that's because there's been no sign today that republicans and democrats making compromises on their differences and no consensus over how many billions of dollars to cut from the 2011 budget. >> susie: president obama and other white house officials warned today about the impact of a government shutdown and how cutbacks in services could impact the nation. darren gersh reports. >> it is the peak tourist season in washington, a time when the nation's capitol puts on a show. but there will be no national cherry blossom festival parade if the government shuts down. and there will be more disruptions, according to senior government officials. roughly 800,000 federal employees will be furloughed. the i.r.s. will stop processing paper returns, which could delay tax refunds for one in three taxpayers. e-filers will be okay. the federal housing administration will stop issuing loans, and that could have a big impact. the f.h.a. now issues one out of every three mortgages. small business administration loans? those will be put on hold too

with the expectations of the public that this is put them in power. i think john boehner is a pretty effective speaker, but nobody believes that he delivered the majority. republicans were ready to follow him in any direction. they figured they would not have been in the majority without him. when he led for the shutdown of the government or the confrontation with the clinton administration, there was a great deal of confidence that the ended the day, the guy who delivered the majority for the first time in 40 years was going to win politically in this confrontation by the way, he still believes that he won the in that confrontation. that was pretty much the attitude. you cannot really overstate the difference between newt gingrich-led congress and a john boehner-led house. >> i would like to hear a point of view from the democratic side and maybe you could talk about the role of the president. if you want to make some comparisons about the president today. big you could tell us about the democratic -- maybe you could tell us about the democratic view of having lost the house

to recovery. >> sreenivasan: speaker of the house john boehner again said there is no agreement on a specific number for the cuts. but he vowed to fight for the largest one republicans could get without shutting the government down. spending. because cutting spending reduce uncertainty it will help our economy. and frankly that's all beyond us. if you shut the government down t will end up costing more than you say save. because you interrupt contracts. there are a lot of problemses with the idea of shutting the government down. it is not the goal. the goal is to cut spending. >> sreenivasan: the federal government's authority to spend money expires next friday. the number of deaths on u.s. highways has plunged to its lowest level since 1949. the transportation department announced today fewer than 33,000 people were killed in 2010, a 3% drop from the previous year. officials credited several factors, including car safety improvements, increased seat belt use, and campaigns against drunk and distracted driving. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to judy. >> woodruff

sense the more that happens the more john boehner has to compromise with democrats the more liberal the spending bill has to be and you could see this you know spiraling to the left a bit before you started seeing john boehner of course blaming democrats for this today he said you know we only run half of one third of the government so we can't impose our will on another body but that is so funny because i could have sworn that when republicans weren't even in the majority they kind of shoved you know tax extensions for the wealthiest americans down our throats republicans are very good because you know we've been going to democrats most of the time they drew up a very hard bargain and now they're coming to terms with the fact that i can get a hundred percent of what they wanted but really i mean they got a they got much more out of the democrats than i think the democrats are perspective if you had said a year ago that the democrats were going to vote to pass as much spending cuts as paul ryan the budget chairman in the house would have wanted people called you crazy but that's that lo

8.8%, 216,000 jobs added last month. house speaker john boehner -- is cia top spot? -- is he in a tough spot? >> he is, but less so on friday, because of the tea party rally getting 200 people. the muscle that they promise to deliver and the threats that they delivered john boehner is seen a lot more hollow that they did last year. he has got a tough job. the republicans want to unveil the 2012 budget next week. they cannot do it as the government is closing down. paul ryan is their star. they have touted him as if he is the second coming. they have to have the stage is set for him, and it cannot include the curtain coming down on the government and social security checks held up in the mail. >> he is right, but i want to correct your introduction saying that the tea party wanted big, big cuts. the big the cuts are $30 billion in addition to what democrats want. the budget for this year's 307 at -- 750,000 -- the point is, it is minuscule. isn't saying that we will shut down the government when we have a $1.60 trillion deficit -- as in say that we will shut down the government whe

falls through they hope people will fault the republicans. john boehner doesn't want to reflect that there's a deal. i think there are reasons why we're hearing different perspectives from different sides. there are a couple of stages to this thing. but party leaders have to reach an agreement and then that has to be sold to the rank and file. we'll see what happens. gwen: the other day on the floor of the house. people were getting quite exercised about this idea. they were having a spending debate but also a debate about the constitution and a debate about the money and who gets to vote and the senate is the bad guy. what was that about? >> every once in a while the house has a debate that's completely theater and this was one of those. house republicans have been getting incredibly frustrated that the senate hasn't passed anything regarding spending cuts this year. it always happens. members of the house get frustrated at the senate, a ponderous slow-moving body. today house republicans proposed a bill that says if the senate does not pass anything, our bills go into effect. the r

before the midnight deadline, house speaker john boehner announced the two sides had reached a deal. >> i'm pleased that senator reid and i and the white house have been able to come to an agreement that will in fact cut spending and keep our government open. >> reporter: he said republicans had secured the largest spending cuts in the history of the government-- $38 billion, nearly two-third of the way to the $61 billion they had been fighting for. in a late of night address the president did not detail which programs would be trimmed. >> some of the cuts we agreed to will be painful, programs people rely on will be cut back, needed infrastructure projects will be delayed. and i would not have made these cuts in better circumstances. >> reporter: in exchange for the cuts, house republicans gave in on dozens of contentious policy proposals they had attached to their spending bill. that means funding for president's health care law, planned parenthood, and national public radio will remain intact. >> it's been a grueling process. we didn't do it at this late hour for drama. we did it

barack obama knows and what john boehner knows, actually too, is that this really is not very big stuff. it's not very big and a budgetary sense. and this is really the little skirmish, i call it small ball on your show before, it's not even spring training. it's really little stuff and big battles lie ahead starting with increasing the debt ceiling, probably in six to eight weeks. that's when the battles really are going to be joined. and paul ryan laid out a budget this week, that's the stuff of which the 2012 election will be fought over. >> we continue this evening with a conversation with shimon peres, the president of israel. >> this is not-- it is a matter of a very dedicated balance. it's very complicated issues. and somebody is under the impression that it can make face, they cannot make face, cannot make face without-- the security problems, the economic situation and without having-- what is taking on in the whole middle east. >> rose: a program note we intended to show you this evening the two stars of acadia, that interview will be seen at another day, tonight al hunt on ne
