that's not where evan bayh sees more conservative democrats in his state of indiana? of wellpoint, so i think he's going to have a problem doing something that tanks the democratic plan, that strongly favors something that he has a financial interest in. there's a whole lot of insurance money going to these senators, and that's going to be something that people are going to be looking into if that's how this winds up. >> civil war? >> i think that there's going to be a problem. i think the white house did not factor in that members of the house would have a very difficult time in their heavily leaning democratic districts ta vote an there are enough of them that could keep this from passing without obama stepping in and committing to get the public plan he campaigned on. >> thank you. coming up, paying for health care. former director of the congressional budget office joins us. you're watching andr"andrea mitl report reports". advisor:... ms. davis, this is onstar. i've received a signal you've been in a crash... i'm contacting emergency services... 911 dispatch:...o

he can't get evan bayh.like a basketball coach who not only owns the players on the court, he owns the arena. if they are fighting each other -- get them to stop fighting. >> speaker pelosi said health care reform without the public option. i have the house. maxine waters said the following, she would refuse to vote for a reform that didn't include a public option. she says president obama has been trying to reach across the aisle. it's not going to happen. the people of this country el t elected you. we know you are a nice man and want to work with the opposite side of the aisle. you have to drop it and move forward. be tough, use what you have, do what you have to do and we have your back. s supporters of the president are saying, to joe's point, you own washington, you campaigned hard on this. knock heads, get people in line behind you. >> had he not started by trying to be bipartisan, he would be getting whipped upside the head for not reaching across the aisle. they are right, a public option ought to b

he brings in evan bayh.a a lot different this year than it was last year, what do you need? and he brings on the other side, nancy pelosi, henry waxman, and he does what leaders do. >> he's got to get more people involved. >> he brings people together. >> the bottom line is that dr. king warned years ago of people taking the tranquilizer drug of gradualism. my granddad said all the time, if you're going to stand, stand, if you're going to sit, sit, but don't wobble. >> i think i'm going to make that the last word. tavis smiley, joe scarborough, thank you both very much. >>> up next, our "meet the press" minute. remembering longtime reporter, columnist, and "meet the press" panelist, robert novak. [ female announcer ] olay regenerist is on a roll new anti-aging eye roller. reduces puffiness immediately -- and also helps with lines and wrinkles. not surgery. this is our way to do your eyes. >>> finally here, in our meet t the press minute, we remember robert novak, who died at the age of 78. he was known as a

i think we're going to have the blue dog democrats, the liebermans, the evan bayh is, they're going toget in a room, some 50 of them in districts that voted for john mccain for president and what's going to happen is their arms are going to be twisted. their careers are going to be on the line. they're going to be offered a lot of pork barrel spending in their districts. quite -- which way will they go when the president offers them anything to go support him? >> obama knows that this is a centrist to conservative country. i think he knows that intellectually. on the other hand, emotionally he's pulled in the other direction. then you've got this group, i call them the obama-orons. like here's a precipice, go jump. i think his strategy is he's going to talk right and go left. hoping not a lot of people catch on. that is not working. sean: we have one guy, parker griffith in bapbap -- alabama, who said about nancy pelosi, if she doesn't like it, i've got a gift certificate to a mental health center. >> it's unbelievable he said that. i'd sure hate to be him the next time he sees george

that is our great senator evan bayh. actually sent me to washington. [applause] too often, there are those in washington who focus on the up and down to of politics. but my concern is the up and down to in the lives of american people. the families feeling the pain and the recession. the folks i have met across the country who have lost jobs, savings, health insurance, but have not lost hope. the men and women who still believe in the ability of this nation to meet the challenges of our times. these are challenges we know all tooç well here in wakarusa. this area has been hit with a perfect storm of the economic troubles. over the last two decades, you bore the brunt of the steadily weakening manufacturing sector in the face of global competition. you felt the struggles of the american auto industry and the repercussions that have hit the midwest especially hard. you are living every day with the consequences of this recession and financial meltdown, and you have felt it in the form of lost jobs, lost savings. as a resu

he's fighting for working families in indiana each and every day, and that is our great senator, evan bayhease give evan a big round of applause. and it's nice to get out of washington and spend some time with people who actually sent me to washington. you know, too often -- too often there are those in washington who focus on the ups and downs of politics, but my concern is the ups and downs in the lives of the american people, the families feeling the pain of this recession, the folks i've met across this country who've lost jobs and savings and health insurance but haven't lost hope. the men and women who still believe in the capacity, the ability, of this nation to meet the challenges of our times. these are challenges you know all too well here in lakaruso, and in elkhart county. because you've been hit with a perfect storm of economic troubles. over the last few decades, you've borne the brunt of a steadily weakening of the american manufacturing in the face of global competition. you felt the impact of the struggles of the american auto industry and the repercussions that have hit t

when i look at carnahans of missouri or blunt of missouri and evan bayh and culvers in iowa i feel theal dynasties are only growing here and do we have the kennedys to thank for that? >> i think we do but as you well know you can go back to john adams whose son john quincy adams was elected president and at the time he took a lot of people from people who said adam you're trying to resemble the houses of europe. now they have a leg up they didn't have early in american history because in this new political process, if you're from a dynasty, you have an already made network of relationships with people, especially big dorns but people who don't have serve in office will lack. another thing you have instant name recognition. i think richard nixon's family probably would have had a hard time getting elected in 1978 or in the 1980s because his reputation was bad. but if you're related to a popular political figure, that's a big help. >> michael, i want to bring in the deputy managing editor of "time" magazine, ramesh. your thoughts as you hear michael share his thoughts on ted kennedy. >>

he is fighting for working families in indiana each and every day, and that is our great senator, evan bayh. please given tore bayh a big rou -- please give senator bayh a big applause. great to spend time in washington and spend some time with people who sent me to washington. too on the those in washington focus on the ups and downs of politics but my concern is the ups and downs in the lives of the american people, the families feeling the pain of this recession, the folks i have met across this country who have lost jobs and savings and health insurance, but haven't lost hope. the men and women who still believe in the capacity, the ability of this nation to meet the challenges of our times. now, these are challenges you know all too well here in waparusa and elkhart county. this area has been hit with a perfect storm of economic troubles. over the last few decades, you have borne the brunt of a steadily weakening of american manufacturing in the face of global competition. you felt the impact of the struggles of the american auto industry and the repercussions that have hit the midwest

senator there evan bayh. senator bayh you were part of an almost tragic period for senator kennedy. it was a plane crash that took place while on the way to a campaign event. if you wouldn't mind just sharing the story with our viewers right now. >> i never look forward to talking about this, chuck. >> i understand. >> but you ask the question and i don't mind answering it. that was a terrible night. it was very -- the weather was terrible. the plane was bouncing around. we probably never should have been taking off but there we were headed for the springfield national guard airport. it had no sophisticated radar or anything like that and the pilot did his best -- he landed about a mile short of the runway in an apple orchard. he was killed and riding next to him in shotgun was ted's legislative assistant. he was killed and ted of course was seriously injured and my wife was injured. i was, too, to a lesser extent. but why we all didn't die, i don't know. i was afraid we'd go up in a puff of smoke. >> when you pulled senator kennedy out of the plane because of that very fear, is tha

barack obama has figure out to way to get claire mccaskill, ev evan bayh, mary from arkansas, everythings and maybe pick off one or two republicans from maine and keep his progressives? >> that's the tough thing and interesting thing about democrats. >> everything else is noise, republicans don't matter, town halls don't matter, this is down to matter. how do you get the 6 or 7 moderate democrats. >> when democrats went to this national strategy and democrats in the west are different from democrats in the east, you end up with blue dog democrats that look good on paper because all of a sudden you have majorities and seats you're picking up. these folks are different. how do you get these folks together when you have some saying we're not going to support the public option and you have democrats in the house saying there is going to be a public option. that is tough. i think ultimately there might be a public option in the house and not one in the senate and which one will be picked up. the big deal is when congress comes back, who will be the person that drives this? pelosi or barack ob

. >> claire mccaskill, evan bayh, mary landrieu, ben nelson, the arkansas senators, they cannot voteis feeling is out there. they have got to be given political cover and it's going to take a while to explain this health care bill to america. >> it's great you got claire mccaskill coming up because she's obviously a good, centrist democrat. she can tell us whether this is -- they are packing these meetings and coming after her or if this is reflective of real anger and rage. >> maybe a little bit of both. >> is it authentic or what some of these folks say? i think it's authentic. >> again, anybody that's trying to put a political crowd together in august will tell you if you get 10 or 15 people, i mean, and it doesn't matter if you have the most powerful organizations trying to pull people out to town hall meetings. i have in my district. i can tell you, you can't do it in august. this is authentic. now maybe people are out there because they've been misled. maybe there are some out there. but you just can't stage these type of rallies. >> the economy. look, 80% of all jobs lost have

a problem for mary, evan bayh and others.ts in 2006 and 2008. >> the irony in the end won't help save health care, they may force some of the adjustments he wouldn't take. >> if they don't make those adjustments in the house it will not pass the senate. tina, thanks so much for being here. it's great to see you. coming up, prize winning author hank johns-- haynes johnson. the recent cover here caught president obama off-guard. the latest out of the white house and bill clinton's surprise visit to north korea. we're talking to the chief white house correspondent. and breaking news this morning next managing editor of nightly news, savannah guthrie. you're watching "morning joe" brewed by starbucks. and who doe? been true since the day i made my first dollar. where is that dollar? i got it out to show you... uhh... was it rather old and wrinkly? yeah, you saw it? umm fancy a crisp? geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. has the fastest serve in the history of professional tennis. so i've

his son evan bayh now serves in the senate. senator, thank you for joining me.rs starting with the crash. >> my memory of ted kennedy go way back before the plane crash. when we first went to the senate together, elected in 1962, started serving together on the same day, i remember him as being as strong voice for people's programs that were designed to help, whether they were young people who needed education, senior citizens who need drug benefits, the overall health care program, all those things that help people -- that is what i remember about ted kennedy. jane: we also heard from vice- president joe biden who said that you might expect his idealism would have peaked when he was younger, but it really did not. >> it certainly did not. he was just one of the consistent voices. one of the first words he spoke in the senate, to his last, was of the concern and a desire to deal with the unfinished business and our country. i remember the work we all did together as a member of the judiciary committee when we passed and the 64 voting rights act, and then later,

colleague joining us now, the former democratic senator, birch bye of indiana, the father of senator evan bayh of indiana. i know you were close with senator kennedy, so our deepest condolences to you. but tell us what happened in that plane crash, because you went back in there and saved his life really by pulling him out after the pilot was killed and another aide was killed in that crash. >> i thought at first we were all dead. i lost consciousness. when i recovered, my wife was very anxious to get out of the plane and so was i. i yelled for ted. no response. went around and saw that the two people, the pilot and ted's administrative assistant. on the way to the hospital. smelled of fumes. and i thought got to make another effort to see if ted is alive. i thought he was dead. >> he was unconscious. >> when i yelled at him, he mumbled. so, i was able to lug him out of there, went down in the weeds and yelled for help. >> that really saved his life. >> well, at least three of us survived and two of us didn't, and i'm sorry for the other two. and ted spent the rest of his life, i think, in pai

cause, they are hurting the republican party and they are pushing moderates like clair mccaskill and evan bayhgestion would be that they show respect and when the lady's talking, you don't boo. i think though democrats can use this, harold, in a positive way for their cause. it just shows the anger out there and say, come on, let's have a civil debate. >> no one wants guns brought to anything when you're trying to have a political conversation, for that matter any conversation. >> you agree with that, pat buchanan? >> i think pat's packing right now. two, the beer summit was successful for the president. he brought together two opposing views and showed there was far more harmony and far less division and chasm between them. we might need something centered around the public. this might be the moment for the president to say, let's come together somebody sing from the same himmal and dispel things people are talking about that aren't in this bill, amplify things that are in the bill, then come september, the leadership in the house, boehner and pelosi, they can come forward and say here's what
