president obama speaks touches a nerve and caused soft-spoken like kansas republican senator pat roberts to say this -- >> maybe if he just 76 a valium and come down and talk to us, why, it might be helpful. >> question, is senator roberts right? >> yes, the president engaged in a lot of partisan -- some very funny, sasha and malia pulling an all-nighter -- but it was he slams the congress. it accomplishes nothing. this is mickey mouse, john. you ask who will be blamed. look at who said look, the whole thing will be -- if somebody is herbert lover mere and it goes down, do you think it's going to be john boehner that will be blamed by history or will it be barack obama who is in charge of the country and the economy? >> james, you realize we got the whole month of july to get through before we get to the august 2 dead like. what will we do with this matter? will we continue to debate this every week? that type of vitality in it? financial pages. new york times puts it with the shipping news. it's an extremely important issue. the financial markets won't let you forget about. it let's not

emerged during bob mcdonald's campaign for governor that says in his late 30s he got a degree at pat roberts' university. and he said that public policy should be used to help god crack down on things that god does not like, things like homosexuals and fornicators. i'm quoting there about the fornicators. it's not me describing people that are fornicators. i wouldn't say that. that's what bob mcdonald said. see, it says right there. cohabitators, homosexuals, or fornicators. all very bad. the whole idea of there being even a new fresh modern face of the gop like bob mcdonald, that whole concept, doesn't jibe very well with the republican party being god's soldiers against fornication, right? this was only made worse by the republican attorney general, who campaigned and was elected with bob mcdonald. once he was sworn in, he started using the powers of his office in virginia to crack down on things like those beautiful ancient buddhas carved into the stone cliffs. i'm sorry. totally different story. no, he took it among himself to crack down on the immodest state seal of the commonwealth of

. >> next is senator pat roberts roberts.or >> i am not posturing. i want to congratulate the chairman. no one could have work any harder to get that agreement done. we would not have an agreement with south korea without the chairman. if we would have parachuted the chairman into those talks a few years ago, we would have been more successful. i am not posturing, but i have something to say. it is with some disappointment that we are here today to anticipate -- to participate in what has been a bipartisan effort. we are told by our friends across the aisle that that is not the case today. the committee moved to include be related legislation in the u.s.-korea fta and that would include panama and colombia. taa has nothing to do with the implementing bill. it is either necessary or appropriate as required by the rules. it has been loaded up. i would identify with the comments of my colleague from idaho. to attack and expansion of federal spending is particularly -- attach an expansion of federal spending is particularly telling. we have to have confi

that prompted pat roberts from kansas to say this. >> maybe if he'd take a valium and calm down and comework on tuesday. >>> a high school l incipal has been removed from his job after three students he hypnotized died. two of them suicides. he continued to put kids under even after he was told to stop doing it. then a school board investigation revealed this week that he lied about all of it, abc's matt gutman has more. >> reporter: it was certainly unorthodox, possibly illegal but deadly? the sarasota county florida school board report questions how in the space of three months three students hypnotized by northport principal, george kenny, died. the first died in march, a car crash, the second in april, suicide, the third in may, also a suicide. all of them just shortly after being hypnotized. kenny was open about his work which he said was to help motivate students to focus on school and athletics but officials discovered kenny had hypnotized up to 75 people at the school, including students and their parents as well as staff members and their children. >> he's trustworthy, honest. h

take a listen to pat roberts. >> maybe he would take a valium and calm down and come down and talk to helpful. >> whoa. take a valium? that's strong. >> come on down. >> jay carney, the white house spokesperson says, look, it's not worth having a discussion. we tried before to have a conversation with it and republicans just aren't willing to have it. here's the white house press secretary. >> what the senator invited the president to do was to hear senate republicans restate their maximalist position. we know what that position is. and he also invited them to hear, invited the president to hear what would not pass. that's not a conversation worth having. >> that specifically is in response to mitch mcconnell, the senate minority leader who invited the president to have a conversation on the debt ceiling and the president, needless to say declined. >> it's been interesting to watch. both sides have drawn a line in the sand when it comes to increasing taxes, where revenue is going to come from. the president saying everybody should be working harder. i've been here and i've been workin

robert casey. >> thank you. >>> let's get more on the strategy from our expects now. let's bring in pats reed, a democratic strategist. not much to talk about today, huh? let's start with you, pat. over the past few days, we've been watching speaker boehner. is he reasserting his authority here or proved to some that the tea party members are really in charge? >> well, i don't know that the tea party members are in charge, but they certainly administered something of a humiliation to the speaker on thursday night when he had to pull the bill and go back again to them on friday. and i think at the end of this battle, richard, speaker boehner is going to be the man on the spot because of what richard wolffe said. what's going to happen when the house votes down this reid bill today, that's going to send a message to mitch mcconnell that you've got to get reid to change it. and when it's a reid-mcconnell bill, it's going to go back to the house and i don't think john boehner has enough republicans to pass it in the house. he's going to have to go to steny howier and get some democratic vot

pat toomey, who served until her death until 2002. >> the bulk of congressional papers are men, including senator robert taft, with 522,000 items. all the way back to josiah bark that, who served in the continental congress. bartlett, who servedt in the continental congress. but the past for their review can be a long and surprising review. >> we get collections from donors, very often they are stored in attics or basements or even barnes. >> in this room there are delivered and put out on tables or collections. if they are not born here, there midwifed year and eventually available to the reading public. >> there have been some odd revolvers andred, revival pieces of wedding cake and all kinds of things where people clear out their filing cabinets, closets. >> for example, the papers of air force general bernard, responsible for the development of the intercontinental ballistic missile, or icbm. >> he would note on airplane napkins, and then i guess he needed more paper because he used to airsickness bags to continue his notes. these are the kind of odd things we deal with in the course of processing. >> it can be like looking

roberts doesn't know what the term "writer's block" means. prohibit -- permit me to mention just the last six of his books. proceeding the release we celebrate this evening. see if you can detect a pat tern here. you do not need a degree in forensic accounting. salisbury, the victorian titan, 1999. napolean and wellington, 2001. hitler and churchill, 2003. waterloo, napolean's last gamble, 2005. a history of the english speaking peoples since 1900, 2006. masters and commanders: how roosevelt, churchill, marshall, and allenbrooke won the war, 2008. and now we have the storm of war, a new history of world war ii which was released in the u.k. and was the number two best seller on the "london times" book review list, and mr. roberts claims to be 48 years old. [laughter] this is up for considerable debate. either he is about 70 with a lifetime backlog of research that aloes him to -- allows him to put out a new book every year or two, or he runs an empire called roberts inc.an intellectual print shop. there appear to be no other explanations for this level of productivity in terms of his output. like all andrew roberts books, i never bought them and got a discount -- [laughter] this one

robert deniro in "taxi driver." you talking to me? i applaud that. i think he needs to stand up to the republicans. >> how do we refute what eugene is saying, pat?alking about a hostage situation, so is krugman. what did richard cohen say? they are a cult. they don't sound like they can win the battle. when you're playing poker and the guy is yelling at you and call you names, you're about to lose. let me ask you that, gene. what do they do, the democrats, if john boehner and the republicans pass a one year debt ceiling with half of the biden cuts on it and say the debt ceiling has passed. the crisis is over. we're taking cuts. everybody in the senate has agreed to. let's get this over with now and we'll go on for another year. how do they say no? >> they say no. they say no. they say no, that's not good enough. you got to move off the no new taxes ever. no new revenue ever position which is a ridiculous position. it's an untenable position. the republicans have to be moved off that. >> how are you going to move them off that? >> well, you're going to say no. you're going to say fight. come on. bring it on basically. >> bring on the collapse of
