Video: House rejects Senate bill extending payroll tax cut

>> in jack kingston of georgia. thank you for your time.

>> thank you.

>> you get both ends here. saying house republicans holding up this deal and senate republican scott brown doubling down on the statement he issued earlier saying of the house republicans standing in the way, it angers me that house republicans would rather continue playing politics than find solutions. the actions will hurt men families and detrimental to our fragile economy. that is a republican. you heard from the president. what is your rely to that?

>> let's strip off the rhetoric and the name calling and the say that the american people are tired of this or that and you are not being partisan. here's the reality that we are in. the house is ready to compromise with the senate . we have not voted on anything. our bill that passed on a bipartisan basis last week has been rejected by the senate and given us a two-month extension. we don't think that's a good deal for the economy or the american people . they said let's go to conference. we have ten days to work this out and think the president should attend. what would happen if he showed leadership and brought mr. boehner and mr. reed downs to the white house and pulled out eggnog and maybe rum and cigars and pulled out it's a wonderful life dvds and said let's work this out.

>> you kid something you are talking about movies and eggnog and nonsense. you have people after january 1st congressman, with all due respect, let's talk in numbers here. there american people who make far less money than you who will see the tax increase after the first. are you okay with that?

>> tamron, here's what i'm saying. i am talking about leadership and the president bringing the leaders together at the white house and saying guy, let's calm down and the three of us sit in a room and work this out. we can do it because we are americans and you know what, i'm the president of the united states who has been calling for a one-year extension this entire year and the house did it on a bipartisan basis. the senate went out of town. why don't you work this out. what i'm saying is good old fashioned leadership and fellowship. something this town needs badly. i worked on a bill this year and we have it passed. it took a lot of friendship to do it. even though the senate democrats that i dealt with disagreed. i believe this can happen. i have seen bigger deals in shorter periods of time, but it takes harry reid and john baner to put their politics aside and sit down and cut a deal.

>> i think a lot of people agree, but you know the saying. if you want a friend in washington , get a dog. here we are with the situation that rhetoric aside, we are looking at 11 days before people start to see an increase in tax. i know that as a house republican, you stand again it and you have said that you are against raising taxes for anyone. here we are with 11 days and the senate said let's pass this and get to the hard work that is needed to get an extension for a year. why not give the american people out there the peace of mind of knowing this deal that was overwhelmingly supported by the senate and the republicans say that house republicans like yourself are playing politics. these are not my words. i am not partisan.

>> i know this. i know we are here because of the failed obama economic policies . i believe that a way out of it is a path that you can get to my friendship and bringing people in the room and saying calm down. put your differences aside. we have 11 days and we have been working on this for months. we can get a bill done and shake hands and get it done. i think by the end of this week. i have been here for 19 years and i have seen bigger deals resolved in shorter periods of time. i disagree. i think friendship is extremely important and that's why as a member of the procreations committee, i got a bipartisan deal done with democrat senators partially because of friendship and a willingness to get outside of the noise of washington , d.c. that's what the situation calls for right now and not more finger-pointing, but more off camera.

>> worry all due respect, you are saying in one breath, let's getting to and put aside the rhetoric and you started that entire idea that you are floating out there saying we are here because of the president's failed policies. that is exactly how you started this conversation that i have to interpret as perhaps faux when you start in that way.

>> tamron, i have to say we have a very unemployment rate , 11 to 13 million people out of work because we are sitting here arguing about unemployment instead of economic development and job creation . that's part of the problem.

>> does unemployment insurance matter?

>> it certainly matters. that's why i voted for a one-year extension on a bipartisan basis on the house bill that is what the president spent all this fall saying anything less would be inexcusable. he is entitled to change his mind which he apparently has. nancy pelosi and steny changed their mind and they're entitled to that. what i'm saying is to get out of this situation, the president needs to call mr. boehner and mr. reed down to the white house and get away from the noise and if you don't want the movie and the eggnog, i understand that. you can just sit down and say let's get together.

>> i will try one more time. gop senator dean helder of nevada said this of house republicans . what is playing out in washington , d.c. this week is about political leverage not about what's good for the american people . senator helder is a republican. is he wrong about house republicans ?

>> i would say this. if you want to quote the president of economic advisers, this bill will create 600,000 to one million jobs. why are we not doing it on a one-year basis to have that job creation .

>> the president wanted that.

>> 11 days is plenty of time. i have seen bigger deals in shorter periods of time come together. y am confident that mr. boehner and mr. reed can make this happen. i'm going to agree with you. a lot of finger pointing and partisanship. get away from it, but get in an isolated place and make it happen. it can be done and we need to get it done. all we are saying is we are willing to compromise and don't want to leave town until we have a deal. it puts us at a disadvantage, but will harry reid appoint to hammer out the differences which by the way is done for over 200 years. now senator reid is saying we doesn't want to appoint conferrees. shou that responsible.

>> he said i will not reopen negotiations for the house until they negotiate by republican leaders and supported by 90% of the senate . before i let you go, i have to ask you.

>> that was the senate and not the house .

>> i than, but the deal was riched in the senate and mitch mcconnell was leaving hie fiving. he praised the deal.

>> the house did not agree with that. the senate could have an agreement.

>> dear speaker boehner think there was a good deal?

>> he did not agree with the deal or we wouldn't be here. that was a senate deal and senate republicans and democrats came together. house members have not. when we have these kinds of differences, we set up a conference committee to iron out the differences. we have done this for over 200 years and on issues far bigger than this. we can make this happen. i don't think the senate is taking the right attitude by saying our way or the highway. we are gone and the american supreme a glitch, it's because house republicans stayed in town and we left and didn't accept the bill. it's not the time for our way or the highway. this is the time to sit down and come to a committee and have hare reed appoint and let's iron out the deal. i am willing to give. i am willing to look at all of the above. options and let's come up with something that's good for the economy.

>> i have to ask you, what are the constituentsing you. we are from georgia and
