amy homes is back an anchor at "the blaze" and also a speech writer for senate majority leader bill frist only not smiling at the beginning. dana, we begin with you. last week the president had dinner with a dozen or so senators and is heading to congress this week. how will this attempt to -- how will it work for the president? >> well, it's already worked for the president in the sense that we're all talking about how charming he's being and how he's reaching out to the hill, even though i don't think anything substantive has really changed here as perry has noted. >> nothing? you don't think anything has changed substantively? >> well, not yet. we don't have anything on the table that's -- that's suggesting there's some grand deal possible. it's going to have to happen eventually. it's the only way out of this whole mess. maybe we have a little more leeway now. there seems to have been some good faith gestures but we still don't have anything on the table and taking some senators to dinner, taking paul ryan over to the white house for lunch isn't really going to get us there. >> perry,

bill frist, who is a republican.i am talking about people who pragmatically would put the country's interest first, but their pockets and self-interest as far as personal gain at the end of the line, and just go to problem solving. host: senator? guest: i very much appreciate your comment and also your hope here. one of the problems that i think we are facing, reticular to clearly in the areas of foreign- policy, the sort that we have been discussing, is that it is so hard to have the right kind of debate when twitter is the way we are having the argument. when you have to condense your thoughts into just a couple hundred words, and quite frankly, when money has driven the political process to the point that you really have polarized the nomination ontosses that carry over the senate and house floors. with respect to the issue of executive authority, which was the main focus of this article -- i am sure you followed us closely, and you know that i made the same points to the bush administration that i am making to th

she was also a speech writer for former senate majority leader bill frist. she is not on twitter.ut whether southerners are racist. in an article that you wrote you said that the question that the chief justice that he posed, that the question itself was unfair. why do you think so? >> i don't think it was unfair. i thought it was a surprising question. it was a trap question. how do you say one party is more racist than the other or less racist or so on? the question goes to the point that the conservative jus stiss, robert scalia, et cetera, they feel that the country is moving to a post racial direction. they're trying to get this all cut out of it. they want to get rid of the voting rights sector. they get rid of integration plans. and we're going to move beyond race and the first step to get there is to get it out of our laws versus a lot of people feel like we're not beyond race yet. we had a bunch of voter id laws. bhit unemployment is 7%. we have to acknowledge the racial differences that still exist in the country. >> this is justice scalia suggesting it was reauthorized
