mike, how are you and ted kennedy so different and get some much done? he said ted and i believe in the 8020 rule. he said we agree on 80% of the stuff and we disagree on 20% of the stuff here we decided to focus on 80 percent that we agree on. it might he a helpful thing. we have good relations. there is still a desire below the surface for democrats and republicans to work together and get things done. we need to dust that often -- dust that off and say, let's redouble efforts. we have a democrat showing up

, ted kennedy jr., always great to see you. >> thank you so much for having me on your show. >> thank you. >>> and joining me now is another man from connecticut, democratic senator chris murphy, member of the senate health education, labor and pensions committee that ted kennedy sr. led for so many decades. senator, welcome, thank you. have you had a chance to read this? >> i've started to read it. it is going to take a while for all of us to get up to speed. it looks as if it largely mirrors the house bill. in some ways it is more evil. in some ways it is even dumber than the house proposal. it seems as if it goes deeper into medicaid with even worse cuts, which as my friend ted kennedy mentioned will require states to kick seniors out of nursing homes, to end coverage for millions of low income children all across the country. it doesn't seem as i take a first look at it to have a requirement that individuals buy insurance, which frankly makes any protection for people that are sick, it just doesn't seem like it works. and i just think it is an absolute monstrosity of a bill at fir

mike, how are you and ted kennedy so different and get some much done? he said ted and i believe in the 8020 rule. he said we agree on 80% of the stuff and we disagree on 20% of the stuff here we decided to focus on 80 percent that we agree on. it might he a helpful thing. we have good relations. there is still a desire below the surface for democrats and republicans to work together and get things done. we need to dust that often -- dust that off and say, let's redouble efforts. we have a democrat showing up later this week in the senate chamber and some of our republican colleagues will join us, close the door and have a conversation and see where we can agree and maybe we surprise ourselves. >> more important than that, too democrats going to mitch mcconnell's private office. that is my take on it. >> let's open it up to questions from the floor. we have got some microphones going around. right here is fine, thank you. >> i am megan mccue from northwestern university. thank you for your time today, senator. a quick question on the issue of federalism.

. >> and ted kennedy. >> ted kennedy is a good example as well.ou're going back quite a ways, jeffrey. ted kennedy was a long time ago. bill clinton was a long time ago. today bill clinton would not -- >> the principle is alive and well. >> can i just finish my sentence? no, it would not because bill clinton would not get that pass. we saw it in hillary's campaign, the blowback from people on the left, particularly younger people who were hearing about this for the first time and saying that's not okay. i don't like that women have accused bill clinton of this. in today's world, bill clinton would not be defended. he would not get away with what he got away with. i firmly believe that. >> all i'm saying, the standard should be the same for everybody. >> i agree. >> that's it. that's my point. beginning and end. >> right. and it's not. and that's my point. my point is with donald trump, he's feeding into a long history of misogyny that we've gotten to the point where most people agree is not acceptable and now we have the president of the united st

i went to ted kennedy and said look, i can't run this committee without you.oing to need your help. to his credit he leaped out of his chair and said i'm going to help. i think he sees the opportunity because he thinks it was a good thing for him, he was a good thing for the country, it was a good thing for the senate. >> martha: do think that's something that can happen with health care in this moment? who is going to lean across the? was the ted kennedy that you can get together with now and come to a conclusion that will make it this health care program better for americans? that's the bottom line. >> there are a lot of really excellent democrats. he's very capable of working with me, he's very smart, very good. but there are a number of others on the democratic side who once let go by the democratic leadership to do a good job. we bring the republicans long and we get along well. we have a lot of bipartisan legislation on that committee, and i see it continuing. >> martha: we will see what continues stomach happens. thank you for joining us tonight, senato

i worked on ted kennedy's campaign when strom thurman appointed me to the senate judiciary committee. and orrin hatch appointed me to the senate labor committee. we used to be able to recognize if somebody had a talent or not and what they would go by the truth. following the fact and the law. that's what public service is about. and how you vote or how you may in your spare time be a partisan is not a disqualifier as a public servant to do what's in the best interests of the nation. >> i'm always surprised by anyone in public life for anything with politics would give to -- would donate to, you know, a particular political party. >> i agree. >> it shocks me every time i hear that. why would you do that? >> it lends to these types of attacks, and what you see is a case being made right now by the white house, and others, that bob mueller is somehow, you know, partisan, and can't conduct this investigation together with his assistants in a fair and equitable manner. remember, the symbol of lady justice who has a blindfold, and should not see republicans or democrats, should only see th

he says, i am grateful for the late senator ted kennedy, who taught me that the bonds of friendship are when i first rent-a-center, i thought he would be an adversary, instead, we became the best of friends. we were a case study and contradictions. he was an east coast liberal, i was a reagan conservative. he was a catholic, i was a mormon. yet, time and again, we were able to look past our differences and find areas of agreement and forge a consensus. by unlikely friendship with ted kennedy is a small example of what our nation can accomplish if we choose respect and community. ">> martha: the rest of that peace is recommended reading tonight. that is his story. we would like to hear yours. tweet us at @thestoryfnc using the hashtag #thestory. we'll be back here tomorrow night at 7:00. we look forward to seeing you again. tucker carlson comes up next. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." it is a week that will live in infamy and history of cnn. if anything, it is getting worse by the day. we've not yet installed a countdown clock to the next ethics scand

ted kennedy. in these elections what's happening in you got trump picking the battlefields. he picked people for his cabinet from seats that he knew would be easy to defend. kansas, georgia, montana, south carolina, barack obama did exactly the same thing, in 2009 and 2010, democrats completely ran the table because they were picking people out of safe seats. that didn't hint what was going to to happen in >> drew you seem to pretty much staunchly support pilosi staying in this role. based on your experience and knowledge, quickly, who would be willing to take her on >> tim ryan gotten way out there and tim ryan talked about running for leader before and he represents a very different part of the country and a different sense ability >> ohio >> ohio, more industrial area, and he's really his own person in a lot of ways, tim ryan. democrats eventually are going to have tough choices to make. even if i don't say this publicly. even who don't defend nancy publicly. they need her not just for fund-raising but counting votes. when you have someone in leadership who can't you have

when obamacare passed initially because of the scott brown win in massachusetts for ted kennedy's seat. the house just had to accept the senate bill, and if they pass this bill they will be taking the -- telling the house take it or leave it. charles: also enormous pressure for them to stick around washington and get it done. to be quite frank with you i don't think they will stay. if there is not any pressure the president, i think either way they will bolt out of there. >> a lot of people in congress are there to do little or nothing. they are not used to the business-like atmosphere that has come up with donald trump. i think congress should already cancel the break trite now. it's not just this obamacare replacement it's tax reform. there are a lot of things on the docket they have to get done. we can't wait until next year when they use, it's the election year excuse. the american people have spoken. look at ralph norman, one of his top issues he just won on is repealing obamacare. the american people keep voting on this, they want congress to get it done. charles: remember the bi

they weren't bothered by ted kennedy, the lying of the senate.hey weren't bothered by another president who had an affair with a mobster's girlfriend, an east german spy, and an under age intern. the liberals and the moderates are very worked up by it. n. jacked up the ratings for that nonsensical show that i never watch. scarborough and scarborough and company. here's the bottom line, you attack a man repeatedly, who was an accomplished man, who was a man's man. you attack him personally, you attack him for his looks, for his genitalia, and at some point, a man's going to standr up. you want him to act presidential, then you have respect for the office of the president. i'm not saying he should have tweeted that, but it's not then of the world that he did tweet it, either. msnbc has a problem. fromin morning to night, it's te same damn show with different people, different dresses, different suits. it's the same thing. same withfe cnn. the only reason cnn has ratings, because every damn airport you go to it's up there. i don't know what's going

they weren't bothered by ted kennedy in chappaquiddick.other president who had an affair with an east german spy and was an underaged intern. i get it, the liberals are all very upset about it. the only reason i object to what the president did with this tweet was because he jacked up the ratings for that nonsensical show that i never watched. scarborough and scarborough and company. here's the bottom line. you attack a man repeatedly who is a proud accomplished man, a man's man. you attack him personally for his looks. for his genitalia. at some point, a man is going to stand up. you want him to act presidential? have respect for the office and the president. i'm not saying you should have tweeted that. it's not the end of the world that he did tweet it either. at the bottom line is, msnbc has a problem. from morning till night, it is the same show with different people, different dresses, different suits. same with cnn, the only reason they have ratings is because at every airport -- cnn is at the airport. you go, well where is fox? this

. >> eric: ted kennedy went into the drink with mary jo kopechne.on the side of the water and thought about his political career. waited, then went back to the party he was asked, had another cocktail, goes home to a hotel and complaints that the hotel is too loud to the manager. he falls asleep, his friends, and say you've got to get back over there. your cars in the water. they found out she was alive for a period of time and she would have been saved if he had gone back for he was a great swimmer. he was a competitive swimmer. >> sad to hear that. >> leo: the one thing i'm interested in, you mentioned about term limits. i heard a guy named newt talk about term limits. is it possible? >> eric: so they have to vote themselves out of their own jobs? here's the thing. people ask me. one is he going to start draining the swamp? getting all of this political capital and these economic numbers, i think he turned around and if he gets health care and tax reform and infrastructure, then he has office capital. time to start doing things like term limits. g

. >> i worked for a long time for ted kennedy and he used to say there's a reason why health care reformt passed because it is one of the most difficult issues to deal with, you're dealing with life-and-death issues. it easily politicized, a very difficult problem to actually solve. i realize i worked for president obama and i was for the affordable care act, but i do think there has been some significant progress in solving some of the problems of the health care system. does it do everything? absolutely not. there are some problems that can be fixed. but because it was -- the president is having senators over, they're all republican senators. you have a senator running this process who doesn't have a clear vision for what he wants. the clearest thing we've got from him is that he wants a bill with heart. no one knows exactly what that means. the president saying that the house bill was mean is really something that i think had a much bigger effect than we even know yet because it doesn't make people want to side with him and then he goes and undermines that. >> was just going to say, h

democratic political analyst serving a senior role in the campaigns of then senator john kerry and ted kennedy and she's a principal at the dewey square group. her specialty -- the happiest way to travel. mary anne marsh is here. let's do this. pick the comments appreciated. obstruction of justice accusations the central focus of today's hearings with james comey's claim that resident trumps that "i hope you can let this go" over the flynn investigation, leading to this exchange today. >> do you know of any case where a person has been charged for obstruction of justice or, for that matter, any other criminal offense where they said or thought they hoped for an outcome? >> i don't know well enough to answer, and the reason i keep saying is, i took it as a direction. he is the president of the united states with me alone saying "i hope this." i took it as this is what he wants me to do. i didn't obey it, but that's what i took it as. >> he said i hope. >> those were her exact words. >> you don't know anyone who's been charged for hoping something. >> eric: director comey could not save presiden

yesterday his father was on hand in the hall to hear his son ted kennedy jr. >> franklin roosevelt was a great president. not a great handicapped president. david burrington nbc news, san francisco. >> that was 1984, the democratic national convention. you know by the year after that, by 1985 that protest movement that started in denver, colorado would pay off in denver, colorado with denver becoming the first major city in the country to make its public transit system accessible to people in wheelchairs. that was 1985. by the end of that decade, those hard won gains wouldn't just be in places like denver. they would be nationwide. in 1990 george h.w. bush signed the americans with disabilities act. new england many things the americans with disabilities act did, it did establish nationwide that public transit, buses need to have wheelchair lifts. they need to be accessible to people with disabilities. that movement that they started in denver, 1978, 1990 it paid off nationwide. and you know what? two years after that in 1992, the city of denver, which had been so freakin' annoyed with

it is a lot like the children's health insurance program works, ted kennedy and orrin hatch negotiated i think the republicans play a very perilous game if their sense is that they're going to reduce the deficit by $300 billion over ten years, by taking health insurance away from 22 million people and 15 million of them next year. this bill cuts medicaid by $700 billion. >> $772 billion. >> i know. but i wanted to do a neat round thing. $700 billion to give a $700 billion tax cut. 45% of which goes to the top 1% and most of the rest of which goes to people who are in the top 10 or 15%. i don't think that's politically something you can take out to the country. i happen to think it is wrong. i think it is political suicide. that's why someone like dean heller is backing away from this bill as fast as he can. >> he was already in so much troubl trouble, take a listen. >> i want you to see a picture of somebody, a face that goes along with this. that's my daughter. >> okay. >> okay. >> she's beautiful. >> she is beautiful. but now i want you to see her in treatment. >> oh, my gosh. >> oka

if i could take you back for a moment to 1979 when senator ted kennedy goes to the senator of california and asks him to personally go to the kgb, to ask the kgb to get in touch with moscow and let moscow know that kennedy will take a positive note on them going into afghanistan and invite russians to america to be on television and if they do that, it will help them defeat jimmy carter for the nomination of the democrat party in 1979. well, guess what, that doesn't work. so in 1980, during the election, jimmy carter goes to armon hammer in the -- >> what are you saying in the interest of time? you're talking about back channel. >> the bottom line is, this is not the first time russia has tried or been involved in an election. it used to be where we knocked on their door and asked for their assistance to defeat at least jimmy carter and ronald reagan back in 1980. and everybody's treating this like this is new stuff. this is not new stuff. this is what russia does if they're not asked, they try to get involved, themselves. >> yeah, but the timing is different. and we spoke to general mic

had ted kennedy not died in office, this would have looked much difference, a stronger affordable care act, it still a sub optimal compromise. while it is worth acknowledging the past and at some point over hall,t the goose call -- we can speculate on what happened and why, but our purpose is not to dwell on where we were, to move on to the opportunities that are afforded to us now. the irony is that we're in a better position to begin implementation of a much that are solution. the affordable care act did achieve significant advances -- expansion of coverage, introduction of some concepts that ultimately set the stage for improvements to the american health care, a lot of the pilot projects that are involved now -- but i think we will be moving past this foundation towards a single-payer or a medicare for all or a medicaid -- [applause] [cheers] representative blumenauer: or medicaid for more. candidate care -- i am less concerned about what we call it then moving in that direction. the bottom line is america still pays far more than anyone in the averageouble the oecd for health care

when i was state attorney general, i worked with senator ted kennedy and congressman patrick kennedy to help advocate for that bill. as a senator, i advocated the regulations that were necessary for its enforcement, and we finally got it done. i want to quote what ken said directly. he told me, quote, and if i lose my medicare and medicaid, i will be unable to pay for them, obviously, which in turn i will end up in the hospital, end quote. kent went on. let me quote him. now for the republicans who are seeing in this washington, can you please listen to me carefully. i am speaking to an empty chamber. let nobody make any mistake that republicans are hanging on kent's word as i speak now, but every one of them could go to the record. every one of them should be listening in their offices. every one of them should go to the record. and i will place kent's testimony in the record along with all of the testimony that we heard last friday as i did the testimony from monday's emergency health care hearing, if there is no objection. thank you, mr. president. so washington, please listen to

scott brown taking ted kennedy's seat is a unbelievable story.n't they tell leadership you led me into the lagoon. i'm going to do something different. >> because somewhere two doors down from barbra streisand some democrat is saying next time's the charm. we just have to get a couple more celebrities. they did everything last night they did in november. and the defining moment for me in november was when cher walked into the center and realized that all the other celebrities had left the room and the sense of loserrism was hanging around cher's neck, she turned around and walked out. six months later, they're doing all the same celebrity media poll mistakes. brian: smells like english leather, which, by the way, is the same -- ainsley: terrible cologne. brian: not good. steve: what's interesting in the last 48 hours, though, is democrats were trying to downplay the fact that he was probably going to lose. in fact, they were telling their big donors we didn't really expect to win. essentially what we were trying to do is just be competitive. but

congressional race ever and one of the most important special elections certainly since 2009 for ted kennedy'se you seeing down there? georgia? >> good morning. i was there last week in atlanta. we'll fly there later today. i see two main things on the republican side when moderate republicans stick with trump and go for karen handel. this is the district the president only won by one percentage point. it's full of suburban republicans. will they really come out and support this republican agenda that is stalled on the democratic said this is an important moment for democrats as well. they're trying to jump start their own party, going after the health care bill on the republican side this week. they're trying to get some kind of momentum to send a signal to other democrats that 2018 will be a big year. >> and i saw that republicans' big ee biggest concern is the lack of action on the hill and with the president. the failure to be able to get anything substantial done. >> i went down to atlanta and went to places like roswell, georgia. i thought i was going to perhaps hear more about the russi

unlike president obama -- he had 60 votes for a blink of an eye until senator scott brown won ted kennedy's therefore they don't have a clean repeal and replace. where i think they have to explain to people what the health& human services what they can possibly work out in reconciliation after both the house and the senate get their plans to if they get to that moment. they have to get to that moment. ainsley: there are several republicans that are questioning it. but there are five that said they're definitely not supporting it. steve: at this point. ainsley: at this point. the president needs to convince three of them to change their minds. or mitch mcconnell does. brian: there's a lot of people, ainsley, that have said said either way. the number could be bigger. ainsley: uh-huh. steve: it looks like right now the "nos" could be as high as ten on the republican side. meanwhile, we had kellyanne conway on the program just about half an hour ago, and she was talking about it's all about medicaid. listen to this. >> medicaid continues to be defunded. medicaid over time would be unsustainabl

. >> warren hatch making the guy who was friends with ted kennedy and worked quietly behind the scenesats. >> and there was a press briefing yesterday off camera. are they afraid to show their faces? what's the concept of the audio only press briefing? anybody know? >> that's a good question. >> part of the trying to revive the radio format. >> no. they are trying to downgrade the chance it will make news. >> but to this whole discussion, one option that's available to the president is kind of a schwarzenegger option. he ran for governor during the recall after gray davis as this right wing republican. he had his agenda handed to him by voters and basically spent the rest of his time governing as a democrat. that has to be in the back of donald trump's mind. >> and what does a compromised bill look like, paige? >> well, i think, remember, mcconnell left about $2 billion in there to work with in the legislation. he very well could enact tweaks to medicate and peg it to a faster growth rate. that would be something that would help to attract the moderates. and there is some thinking in w

we had massachusetts, where unfortunately ted kennedy had passed away, no republicans had won in congressre on the federal level and scott brown won. overwhelmingly that was a real indication of what the democrats were doing was wrong. they thought they had the same thing here we've gone through four special elections, and every time the democrats come back after they leave and talk about how much they improved by the money they put in, and how they're getting so much closer this was the ideal campaign, and also the ideal candidate, and the ideal seat of what they said they needed to win a majority and they failed. >> i didn't mean to stir things up there >> not at all. >> i should have not kellyanne conway said she's laughing her ossoff. laughing her ossoff. pretty good line >> i'll let that stay right there. >> and we ask about scalise earlier. he tweeted, so -- >> he's doing better he's doing much better >> fantastic prayers are working. anyway, thank you. >> all right take care. >> we still have a big hour ahead on "squawk box." we've got about 45 minutes of that hour. anyway, i think

and also we've left one kennedy out, which is ted, who was also a great champion of these causes. and i'll say there's another young kennedy now in congress, so maybe we can go forward in that direction again. but in the meantime, thank you all for coming.in thank you to our authors. two fabulous books. don't forget to buy them on the way out. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much for coming out to today's program. join us outside for book signingses. thank you.

the questioning the of ted cruz and was his father involved in kennedy's assassination? mp has done this throughout his life. >> become good friends with ted cruz and are you saying he'll become good friends with jim comegy. >> i would like to take hick seriously when tweets. i'm not surprised there aren't tapes and he seems to have paid a price. maybe discourages of that in the future. on the point of telling a consistent story and combing assuring him he wasn't under investigation, he's told more about that, leakers and was correct. >> on that part, correct. what he focused on. important to get it into public record. when james comey left the fbi the president of the united states was not under investigation. striking to hear jay secula saying that's not illegal. it's not illegal to lie or mislead interesting you defend a president of the united states doing that. in the conversation, bob mueller the special prosecutor. some republicans said mueller hired people who made contributions to the clinton campaign. noose gingrich a bold move the day it was done since then, a

ted cruz of texas. the tabloid had publish aid picture it claimed showed cruz's father was kennedy assassin, lee harvey oswald. >> all i did was point out the fact on the cover of the "national enquirer" there was a picture of him and crazy lee harvey oswald having breakfast. now, ted never denied that it was his father. >> reporter: there is no evidence cruz's father knew or met oswald. anthony, there is evidence this twitter spat has taken a toll here and on capitol hill, where the president's health care agenda is in dangerous limbo and a distracted white house groaps for a new political strategy. >> mason: major garrett at the white house. thank you, major. this week, a presidential commission began its investigation of possible election fraud by asking states to turn over a slew of voter information. nancy cordes reports the effort immediately ran into trouble. >> this is an outrageous violation of citizens' privacy rights. >> reporter: virginia governor terry mcauliffe told cbs news today his statelet not hand over sensitive voter files to the white house. mcauliffe joins officials from more than

ivanka trump never had a problem with ted cruz's father being part of the kennedy assassination, or donald not knowing about david duke or about the "lock her up" with hillary clinton, on and on. donald trump has made it to the white house by hitting the low road harder than everybody and being wolverine vicious and fearful as can be donald trump, so nobody can feel sorry for her. >> let's take a trip down memory lane at some of the things donald trump has said. listen to this. >> rosie o'donnell is disgust g disgusting, both inside and out. i don't know what i said, i don't remember. i view a person who is flat-chested as very hard to be a 10. we are led by very, very stupid people. this guy ted cruz is the single biggest liar i've ever dealt with in my life. but it's political bull[ bleep ], do you understand? i call him little mark, little mark. forget you. just forget it.

multiple negative stories about trump's opponents during the campaign, including ted cruz's father was involved in the kennedy assassination, and then carson left a sponge in a patient's brain, which carson said was not accurate. just incredible collection of stories there. trump and the publisher have been friends for decades. when we look at that history there, do you think there is an agenda to help the president and hurt his opponents? >> based on my knowledge and just the information that we have at hand and the headlines that you showed, as brian indicated, the national even quirerer did endorse president trump. he has hailed his friend to be the ceo of "time" magazine and says that the national even quirer should receive a pull litser. we saw them cover stories not true and the source of one of those stories, the five affair story, the single source named in that story was roger stone, a former advisor for president trump. when asked about this on the campaign trail, then candidate trump didn't criticize the magazine for doing so. he said they have been right about stories in the past. so make of it wh

well, the first person i can recall even mentioning that possibility was senator ted cruz who is now predicting justice kennedyire on a number of occasions. i think obviously the trump administration would be very happy to see another retirement from the supreme court because it would give them a chance to make sure that the bench is conservative leaning. i'm sure they're looking forward to that. but i don't know how true the reports are. i know justice kennedy has been pretty quiet about the rumors of his retirement and i look forward to seeing what happens. >> we all do. should note he is 80 years old. appointed by president reagan, he has been socially liberal in terms of being a swing vote on the court. ladies, thank you so much. good to see you. have a good rest of the weekend. >>> how much more will you pay for health care under the senate health care plan. we crunch numbers for you next. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you

donald trump accused ted cruz's father of having something to do with the kennedy assassination and accusedlintons of being murderers. a democrat going out and dropping an f bomb one time is not the same thing. and by the way, when you're president of the united states it is far more important to set a proper tone than some random -- >> he said something -- >> what has he said since he was president of the united states -- >> the residue of that, his twitter account has a picture of ted cruz's wife being compared to melania trump. he hasn't apologized. just last week there was a story about groups on the alt right that are militant groups that don paramilitary costume. these are groups that have sprung up based on donald trump's cultivating of this nationalism and condoning of violence and they are out there staging rallies where they are looking to beat up liberal demonstrators. >> that is not for a second to say anything that donald trump has said has anything to do with it. >> now believes we are blaming donald trump. if we get rid of obamacare people will die. republicans and donald tru

donald trump accused ted cruz's father of having something to do with the kennedy assassination. he accused the clintons of being murderers. as brian pointed out during the campaign, he, at least implicitly condoned violence at his rallies an democrat going out and dropping an f-bomb one time is not the same thing. and by the way, when you're president of the united states, it is far more important to set a proper tone than some random congressperson. >> well, he -- >> what's that? >> what has he said since he's been president of the united states since he was sworn in along those lines -- >> his twitter account literally still right now as a picture of ted cruz's wife -- an unflattering picture compared to melania trump. he hasn't taken any of these things down or retracted any of them or apologized. >> and just last week there was a front page story in "the new york times" about groups in the alt-right that are military groups, they don paramilitary costume, they're called the alt-knights and the proud boys. these are groups that have sprung up based on donald trump's cultivati

kennedy: mine, too. i know there are republican senators who have so much issues with this. people like mike lee, ted cruz, rand paul. and for people like lisa murkowski and susan collins, they don't want to cut finding for planned parenthood. >> the three people you named are the only ones who would be on board with that. i like marco rubio describing the exact opposite of what the legislative process in the senate is. rand paul proposed the read the bill amendment? he thought it was insane. we are all voting on things none of us have read. it has been written by lobbyists. we are presented with a 2,000-page bill. we are not matt damon in "goodwill hunting." kennedy: democrat chuck schumer reached out to mitch mcconnell, at least let's discuss this over scotch and hookers like real men used to. it may not have been that exact terminology, but it was something like that. but republicans are terrified of being criticized by democrats. >> the idea that senator rubio would say the senate is not just someplace you can go behind closed doors and cook things up. of course, it is. where have you been operat
