congressman bill cassidy will join us. foreign-policy a mess. the economy stalled.f this presidency? here is my take. there is no joy for anyone in failure. when the chief executive takes the country downhill, we are all taken with him like a not. is a village and we all have to live in obamaville for another three years. this presidency has disappointed on several fronts but two standout. mr obama won't change. we really do have three more years of this. in the face of policy failure this president doesn't care. he will stick rigidly with his ideology and that is all government all the time, tax, regulate, ignore the debt. most other chief executives would change course and look for something that works. even socialist france looks at tax cuts, not president obama. no change from him. that is a failure of leadership. second we have been deceived. we cannot keep the health insurance we like and we have got to pay more for it, not less. he sold obamacare with the exception. perhaps worse the irs was used to cripple political opponents in the middle of a presidential

joining me now, future senator bill cassidy. how are you? >> i'm great. you for having me. >> it's good to see ewe. apparently, you have a few fans here. let's talk about how important in the state of louisiana she supports and she said recently she supports harry reid and obama. how will that play in this race? >> it will play in a tremendous way. they don't like she was the deciding vote for obamacare. families are struggling and they're struggling because of that agenda. our good policy is going to help us win this political victory. >> let me ask you this. earlier today senator landrieu actually said that she supports keystone opponent harry reid for senate majority leader. >> washington has their own, you know, gridlock and problems, but even with republicans, democrats, mitch mcconnell, harry reid, i'm able to move serious pieces of legislation through for the benefit of our state and region. >> but you won't say one way or the other if you'll back harry reid? >> if he runs, i will. i don't agree with him on everything. i don't agree with mitch mcco

and i think the senator, in addition to making his points about obamacare, also can maybe help bill cassidy, who is running against her for senate. >> what is your take away from our conversation today? >> aside from the fact that they clearly -- the keystone xl pipeline approval supporters like the senator clearly do not have the 60 votes they would need to overcome the filibuster hurdle at this point, he said that there are 56. we have heard there may be 57 and maybe a couple of others on the fence you're getting to 60 -- fence, but getting to 60 will be difficult. the other thing we have learned is senator hoeven is of the belief the keystone vote will go forward even in the energy efficiency vote fails. -- if the energy efficiency vote fails. that is not something we have heard too much previously. they sound like they think they have an agreement in hand, that they will be able to get their vote, if not in the coming week but the week after that. >> part of the reason was -- you voted on the bill, which gives the senate democrats a victory. it is a victory for the democrats because it

hey bill cassidy in louisiana you voted to raise the medicare age to 70. same deal in colorado.sman corrie gardener voted to get rid of medicare, turn it into a voucher instead, raise the medicare age to 70. in oklahoma, maybe oklahoma is really tough but james linkford on the ballot voted to voucherize medicare and raise the age to 70. hello 69-year-old oklahoma voters. james lankford voted that someone in your shoes shouldn't get medicare and you shouldn't have had it the last four years either. in west virginia shelly moore voted to raise the age to 67 like steve danes did in montana. he voted to raise the medicare age budget. in georgia three of the five republican hopefuls are house members and voted right along with tom cotton. give grandma a voucher and raise the age to 70. medicare is over. the ads right themselves, right? everybody can copy mark pryor's ads. everyone who is running for senate, every one of them voted to end medicare as we know it and make old people have to wait longer to get it. meanwhile, mark pryor has with stood buckets of money from outside his sta

joining me now, bill cassidy. how are you? >> sean, i'm great.or having me. >> congressman, all right. let's talk about how important in the state of louisiana, she supports and said she backs harry reid again and supported obamacare. how will that play in this race? >> it will play in a tremendous way. folks in louisiana don't like the fact she's been a deciding vote for obamacare and she supports the president's agenda 97% of the time. families are struggling because of that agenda. good policy is going to help us win this victory. >> let me ask you this. the senator said she supports key stone opponent hairy re dichlt. let me play this for you and get your reaction to it >> has gridlock and problems but with republicans and democrats and mitch mcconnell, i'm unable to move serious legislation through for the benefit of our state and region. >> you won't said whether you'll back hairy ried. >> i don't agree with hairy reid on everything. >> it seems like she's trying to run away from hairy reid. i don't agree with everything. she voted with bar

the more serious threat is from congressman bill cassidy, a physician who turned an abandon abandonedost she couldn't get a vote on the keystone pipeline. >> first of all, i'm the chair of the committee. i'm not the majority leader or minority leader. they control the floor. washington has their own gridlock and problems. i'm able to move serious pieces of legislation through for the benefit of our state and region. >> but you won't say one way or the other whether you'll back harry reid. >> if he runs, i will. i don't agree with harry reid on everything. i certainly don't agree with mitch mcconnell on everything. >> groups linked to the koch brothers have already spent millions ofr negative ads. >> mary landrieu said obamacare is going to make things better. better? not for people like me. >> tell landrieu it's about people, not politics. >> i think the koch brothers and people like them are very dangerous to the process. you know, they have so much money, they can write a $250 million check and just not miss it. so i think that's what's dangerous. now, it's happening on both sides.

cassidy: the intent of my amendment is to provide greater accountability over the use and allocation of administrative costs associated with the funds authorized in this bill it is important we attempt to maximize the ability to reach the classroom. the amendment requires within three years of the enactment of h.r. 10, the government accounting office would provide a report on whether the amount of funding for state administrative costs is appropriate. if the funds are determined inappropriate, g.a.o. must provide a recommendation on what an appropriate level of funding would be. it is budget neutral with no additional reporting requirements. it is simple and straightforward ensuring taxpayer dollars will go to classrooms and not caught up in bureaucracy. it is easy costs to balloon. this amendment prevents this from happening. i reserve. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota seek recognition? mr. kline: i claim time in opposition, although i am not opposed to the amendment. the chair: without objection. mr. kline: i rise in support of this amendment which will require the study on the money allocated for administrative costs. as th
