this being loot looks like tha what it is. >> orrin hatch is worried about a primary.emember what is happened to one of the most conservative members of the senate, robert bennett of utah, who was defeated by a tea party challenger. and lisa murdkowski was defeate in alaska. orrin hatch, richard lugar, sylvia snow, they're all threatened with tea party challenges and that's defining our political agenda today and how that's really hijacking our system of government. >> john. >> the one thing i'd add to robert's analysis is one of the things yesterday's lopsided and refreshingly bipartisan vote in the house showed is that the senator can hold. yes, you have organized extremes in both parties who oppose the solution even when the alternative was default. youed hat heritage foundation and club for growth, move on on.org and other groups on the left opposing it, but the senator held. as long as they clear the 60 vote threshold, the folks vote nothing can do it for all sorts of political reasons, but they ignore the larger responsibility which is to make sure that the natio

challenges from the right, hatch is -- hatch wants to become a card carrying member of the tea party.lugar has been walking the fence a little bit. he tries to reintroduce himself as a conservative. but on certain things like this, you know, he's still the what ill call the chamber of commerce republican. >> lugar, what the hell. i'm going go with my principal vote and that's it. i think orin hatch recognizes also the challenges he faces out in utah and not just recently, but for some time really tried to bring to the fold the connection with the tea party element in utah. and i think reflects their concerns by his position today. i don't think that's out of sorts for him, but, you know, he's a political realist, too. >> let's remind people about orin hatch and richard lugar. orin hatch was considered a very right wing conservative. when he came to the united states senate this is not somebody you would mistake for the two senators from maine. >> exactly. that is a reflection of the changes of the politics on the ground where they are. and just how much more conservative the voices ar

orrin hatch is, in fact, a very conservative senator but perhaps not conservative enough. tea party supporting extremely conservative republican congressman jason chaffetz of utah has been making noise all year long that he was going to go after orrin hatch next. he was going to primary hatch from the right, take that deep red republican utah senate seat and make it even deeper red. this week he finally made his big announcement about challenging hatch and he's not doing it. now, he hadn't just been hinting at this. he was telling everybody he was likely to do this. he was very open that he was going to kick orrin hatch out of the senate but he's decided not to run against him. this is not going to happen in utah. after orrin hatch, the other senator was olympia snowe of maine, up for re-election in 2012. the warning is she'll be replaced by hard right tea party challenger. well, there are some activist guys running against her, but frankly nobody who's making a dent, no offense intended, one of her challengers has made news by conditionally demanding olympia snowe resign.

after oren hatch, the other senator told to watch out, was olympia snowe of maine. the warning was she's going to be replaced by a hard right tea party challenger. well, there are some activist guys running against her, but frankly nobody who's making a dent, no offense intended, one of her challengers has made news by continuing demanding olympia snowe resign. another man described as an all-black wearing music columnist and cyber punk. maybe maine is ready for a cyber punk republican senator, but it just doesn't seem like the same phenomenon that drove last year's republican politics is still driving them now. now add to that what we know about the tea party's role not just among republicans but in national politics. the latest new york times poll says the tea party is the most unpopular it has been since they started polling on the tea party's favorability in april last year. the percentage of americans who think the tea party movement has too much influence within the republican party is the highest it has ever been. this new york times poll squares with other p

hatch: i object. mr. president? the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. hatch: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: for the third time in a week, i must object to another short-term federal aviation administration extension. and i want to make it absolutely clear that a long-term f.a.a. reauthorization is a priority for this country and it's a priority for me, for myself. the current lapse at f.a.a. taxes and expenditure authority from the airport and airway trust fund is a detrimental situation brought about -- brought on by the senate majority's refusal to engage in substantive negotiations on a long-term f.a.a. reauthorization bill, which, by the way, did pass the house. additionally, it isn't clear to me that the legislation just offered would avoid a retroactive tax increase on travelers. i didn't set out to cause f.a.a. taxes to expire but reinstating them to a retroactive basis is more than i'm willing to subject taxpayers to. and as i've already said, i share house transportation and infrastructure committee chairman mica's

chairman and senator hatch. on that point senator hatch made with respect to when we have a tax reform bill of that we have some way to try to keep in place that the good work and we don't unravel it to create uncertainty again i thought senator hatch's point was for a good and i'm interested in working with you on that. >> thank you. senator menendez? >> thank you mr. chairman. gentlemen, thank you for coming. i with interest read your testimony. let me start with mr. duke. you had my former chief of staff working for you now and i've come to the proselytize if i read one more e-mail it says save more money live better. [laughter] let's talk about branding i tell you. he does a great job for you and me. let me pick up on a point we had a hearing yesterday and was a deficit hearing, and my colleague, senator conrad, made what i thought is a very good point. he pointed out that interest rates matter, and he said a sustained one point increase in interest rates would cost the federal government more than a trillio

>> senator hatch, you are absolutely correct. comprehensive tax reform and a lower overall rate would create more incentive and more desire to invest, and i think that's what we're about is the creation of jobs and opportunity and competitiveness for u.s. companies. we agree. >> okay. >> yeah, build on mr. duke's comments that a lower tax rate lowers the cost of capital and that makes more projects attractive and as we go through how to aloe kate or resources, more development in the u.s. makes our projects attractive to the u.s.. >> i think lowering the effective tax rate allows us to invest in the u.s. without being penalized, and today, it's a penalty. >> again, acknowledges we are a domestic economy, you know, this helps us accelerate investments in terms of bringing products and services to market faster in a more robust fashion. >> thank you. a quick follow-up question. mr. falk, you noted in your testimony there's proposals recently to move the tax away from -- by ending deferral of u.s. tax on a u.s. company's foreign ear

here's hatch. he is not worried about liberals. he says he is tired of the president arguing for shared sacrifice. this is new. would he are hearing from the right they started it. here is proof. orn hatch saying we have to tax the poor more. >> i get tired of hearing the obama approach about tax hike. the rich paying 38%, the other side spends and spends and spends and they want to tax and tax and tax so they can spend some more. my gosh, when are we going to wake up in this country and realize they are spending us into oblivion. the poor need jobs and need to share responsibility. >> they need it share responsibility. tax the poor, joan. i never heard that in politician. let's go sock it to the poor. this is a new one. from orrin hatch. >> right. it was a bipartisan program. a program under the first george bush. earned income tax credit that says, okay, we are creating low wage jobs. last people are working, working hard, but they are still poor. so a republican began funneling people money, cutting their taxes and that is accep

how will senator orrin hatch vote tomorrow? senator hatch goes on the record next. and democratic representative elliott engle is here, and says the tea party is refusing to accept victories. what is he talking about? does have it to do with the debt ceiling - hi, i'm halle berry, and as a new mom, i can tell you that childhood is a magical time. but for children with diabetes, life is not quite so carefree. the barbara davis center for childhood diabetes is fighting hard to find a cure. know the signs: irritability, excessive urination, weight loss. if you have any of these signs, please call your doctor. early detection can save your life. give to save lives and reach for the cure. call now or log on to childrensdiabetesfoundation.org. greta. >> greta: tomorrow night at midnight we hit our debt ceiling, and prior to that the senate will rush to vote on the new debt ceiling bill. fit passes the senate, the bill will get rushed to president obama's desk so the president can sign it before the clock strikes midnight. will the senate pass it? earlier today we caught u

this is a new one from orrin hatch. >> right. and it was a bipartisan program, under the first george bush, the earned income tax credit that said we're creating a lot of low-wage jobs, we don't know what's going on, a lot of people are working hard, but they're still poor, so a republican began funneling people money, cutting their taxes, and that was accepted. milton friedman thought this was a good idea, but now that's socialism. that's how far this country has come, that it's time to bash the hard-working poor people who aren't making enough to get out of poverty rather than help them. it's so mean-spirited. >> in terms of party, partisanship, in terms of ethnicity, the squeezing of the labor force, not just bringing in new hires, but to squeeze the people who are working, that's how we avoid recession. and now citizen united a call by supreme court that they could use all their power on television, in this medium, this is an assault on barack obama and they dare say he's being divisive? >> i keep calling it a slow-motion sec

hatch: mr. president? the presiding officer: is not frr utah. mr. hatch: i understand the anguish of my dear friend from texas, and i don't disagree with her, except for one thing. the tax is not being charged. and that should be a savings to the customers and consumers who are using air services. whether it is or isn't, that take away from the major issue here that i think the house -- and there may be another issue here on the essential air services. i don't know, because i'm not on these committees. i've been asked by our leadership to make these objections. what is important here -- and it's not some itty-bitty little thing -- is that you have labor law regulators out of control. when the n.m.b. -- the national mediation board, because it's run by a bunch of democrats -- comes out and does away with a 75 years of labor law, with just the stroke of a pen, and makes employee votes not important, that's not some little itty-bitty issue. that's a big-time issue. for 75 years unions have been winning union elections by getting a majority of the emplo

is get -- [ unintelligible ] if you do a little research, senator orrin hatch going back to 1979 was pushing the -- balanced budget amendment. yet some of these people in the tea party movement won't look at the facts and they go after him. even within the tea party movement there is a disregard for the facts and effort to be disruptive even within the group. >> you will find that within any group. especially when it involves politics. to your point about senator orrin hatch, he is doing good in terms of trying to get a balanced budget. and he has been for the last couple of decades. he's pushed hard for some fiscal reforms that we have got to see i am -- implemented otherwise crony capitalism will continue out of washington, d.c. and we will continue on the wrong path and be bankrupt. people like orrin hatch, he's rising up with quite aggressive tack about the balanced budget amendment and other things that he has seen for all these years need to be done. we need to be agreeing and embracing his idea and working with him to make sure that happens. instead of shooing him away and out

we all know senator hatch. he used to do deals with the late senator ted kennedy. he's a deal maker. but his best friend in the senate, robert bennett, was defeated last year by a tea party candidate, who is now a united states senator in utah. 1286 words could have been summed up in 14. i saw what the tea party did to my friend bob bennett last year. he's not going to vote yes. >> you can't really overestimate the sea change that's going on right now in washington. because you're right, these tea party conservatives have really shifted the debate. remember, barack obama when he started this and said i want a clean debt ceiling -- >> which happened 70 times in the past. >> and mitch mcconnell also made the point, i think he's absolutely right, he said the template for the debt ceiling has now changed because it's always now going to be associated with deficit reduction. we've been in the process of stimulus spending for the last couple of years, to try and get the economy jump-started. now we're going to a new era of real fiscal restraint and economists disagree, a

hatch: would the senator yield? mr. paul: sure. mr. hatch: i would ask unanimous consent i be permitted to give my remarks immediately following the senator from kentucky. the presiding officer: without objection. the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: madam president, america will not default on her debt today. in fact, there was really never any doubt that america would pay her bills, but mark my words, america will default. america will default not by not paying its bills, not by not raising the debt ceiling, but we will default in a more insidious way. america will default by increasingly paying our bills with money that is worth less and less each year. a nation pays for its debt in three ways. we can either tax people, we can borrow the money or we can simply print the money. they all have repercussions. we are approaching our borrowing limit as a nation. we now owe china over a trillion dollars. we owe japan nearly a trillion dollars. we even owe mexico. as we reach our borrowing limit, interest rates will rise, and the prices in

hatch has been in for a while. party analysts say it is time to go, but he's run into a money gap. he has a great house seat, why put that at risk. >> and young. that's the other thing. you have orin hatch who runs another term, maybe he thinks about leaving after that term. in six years jason chaffetz is still among the youngest members of the senate. we'll talk about somebody who has been in congress and wants to come back, chris shays. a moderate republican from connecticut, my home state, kind of in the southwestern corner of the state. he announced he's running. he expects to be challenged by linda mcmahon. can he beat somebody as well fund funded as $50 million in 2010. is she viable here or has he gone around the cycle one too many times? >> he could be viable, but i request whether this is an electorate willing to -- the elect rat booted him out with his links with a. he's been a long-time congressman trying to come back. i'm not convinced that -- >> it is not the best resumÉ point. >> this was an ad in the

i remember eight years ago, i had people working for orrin hatch's campaign, yes, orrin hatch ran fors a caucus, it's organizing and who are you going to play to be a surprising force. he didn't really make it that far. but it is a growing religion out here in the state of iowa. >> that's true. the romney people that i talk to, they don't like talking -- >> they don't like talking about how they do organize the mormon community. >> that's not really the issue here, my point is, why are we whispering, he's a public candidate, we should be talking about this. but it is a growing religion out here in iowa. but the question is whether that's going to be enough of a driving force to make him have a respectable showing here in iowa. >> they downplay these straw polls then more quietly they will make more of an effort than you realize. i remember six years ago at the southern republican leadership conference, they basically shocked people and it was actually organizing the mormon people in tennessee, they did the same thing at cpac. >> that's their playbook is to always lower expectations, a

to wake up that we have the same problem as you in the united states has which is that we are a tax hatch too, and we have -- tax haven too and have done something absolutely extraordinary. the united kingdom, and particularly the city of london as i argue in treasure island in itself has many tax haven, many offshore characteristics that attract money. ultimately what the city of london does is offer escape roots. for if you offer the roots, foreigners bring their money to you. bring your money to london, and you can escape financial regulation, you can escape taxes, you can escape all sorts of things, but that's just a part of the picture. me and a couple of researchers went into the archives at u.k. and looked at what happened after independence, what the discussions were about what was happening to the so-called overseas territories, the british oversea territories and the crowned dependencies. it included places like the cayman islands, and other tax havens today, the islands are huge, but some means the world's 5th largest financial center. these territories never became independent

when that hatched i sat down and said, what happens is, a, he arrived and gets off the train what's goingen. >> i know z, he would get on the train and leave at the evented book. i didn't know the alphabet in between. i was nervous and i took one step at a time very japanese like. i began to study and read everything i could find on the japanese culture. the incredible thing was not having everything that went into it and it still became a quiet book. there is a tsunami. there's tv and lep easier and a fire. i call it my zen book i think it's because as i was learning about the japanese culture, all of that started to go into the book. and it gave me the structure of what the book would become, which was very much taking after what a japanese garden it. early on a read about gardens. you don't know where you are going you just read. because japanese gardens are a huge aspect on the culture i started reading on gardens. i love the natural and the idea on how they use the gardens and how much it reads to them i started reading. i read a line like the silk worker line where it embraced me an
