talks with senator bob corker, and former g.o.p. congressman vin weber about the debate and what it means for the future of the republican party. >> again if you take the congressional budget office projections which the supporters of this bill has have taughting there's saying there's a 30-40% reduction in illegal immigration. it seems to me if you pass the bill what you've done is you've legalized illegal immigrants who are already here and then you've created this new illegal immigrant population with another demand for amnesty and legalization ten years down the road. it seems to me that this process of serial legalization and winking at the law is not a good one for the rule of law. >> whenever we argue for tax reductions particularly back in the reagan tax reductions we talkd about this huge underground economy that was created by too high tax rates and too complicatedded a tax structure. all those people were technically law breakers. i didn't hear a lot of conservatives arguing we can't possibly reduce tax rates and simplify

among the republicans involved, kelly ayotte, bob corker and lindsey graham. according to graham, it was being filibuster because we don't like the law, that's not a reason to deny the appointment. senator corker reportedly called b.s. on mitch mcconelle who complained he could have brokered a better deal. he took several of his republican colleagues to task to advance the nomination of tom perez to be secretary of labor. >> what i'm saying to my republican colleagues, i don't care what deal you cut, how can you move forward on the nomination when it refuses to comply with a subpoena. >> more now on those student loan rates. they agreed on a deal yesterday to lower the borrowing cost. it will allow undergraduates to borrow at 8.5% this fall. the new plan brings much needed relief. they're not permanent. after the 2015 academic year they'll likely be raised. in the future they'll be determined by stock market. for graduate students the cap will be 9.5%. for parents it will be 10% 5.. >>> lynn cheney descending on the state for her first campaign events yesterda

you have lindsey graham, john mccain, mitch mcconnell bob corker, there were a number of folks involved here on different parts of it. but democrats had a really good day today. this was a largely success for harry reid. the only only capitulation capitulation, the president said there would be two fresh nominees up. that was the only capitulation for democrats. but for republicans they have been very against the consumer finance protection bureau and blocked richard cordray from heading that bureau and because they wanted to see restructureing, and that was their only leverage, they lost that leverage today. and cordray himself, cordray a agreed that he would appear before the the aprobations committee. but these things were pretty small. democrats had a good day today. >> michael: it makes me wonder what the quid pro quo was or to go any further, do you think this is informed by the case that the supreme court may be taking up, and the republicans doing a little bit of jockeying on that front? >> certainly. the republicans made the issue that these were illegally appointed nominees, a

but tennessee republican bob corker says that's not our priority. >> what we should be doing right now is urging calmness, urging the military to move through this civilian process as quickly as possible. >> reporter: president obama's critics say by not condemning the egyptian military, he's making the same mistake me in not criticizing morsi in a timely manner which alienated some egyptians. it's the same so-called mistake critics say the administration made when vice president biden defended mubarak days before he was deposed. >> would ymubarak has been an a ours in a number of things. >> reporter: then and now, the issue with divisive. the white house shrugs off the idea as once again behind the curve. >> the curve we're interested in is the curve that leads towards a stable democratic egypt where the rights of all egyptians are respected and upheld. >> officials here won't say how longful take them to review the rules on aid to egypt, but they suggest the longer the egyptian military can be seen as acting with restraint while still keeping the fight between morsi critics and suppo

senator bob corker came out of that briefing and said that the administration as of now has not yet determinedther or not a coup took place in egypt. >> jennifer, thank you. >>> the mother of one of the four americans killed in the benghazi terror attack last september, shawn smith, was asked about a familiar refrain that the obama administration has been repeating in the last few days about phony scandals. here's patricia smith from "your world with neil cavuto" today. >> it's not fake, my son is dead. why is he dead? all i'm waiting for even to this date is for someone to get back to me and tell me what happened. why did hillary do what she did? why was there no security there when there was supposed to be? and who was the general or whoever it was that called back the troops when they were going to help. >> still ahead, a big day for the hope on his tour of the world's most populous catholic country. >>> first, closing arguments in the case for accused wiki leaker, bradley manning. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] if y can't stand the heat, get off the test track. get the mercedes-benz you've bee

senator bob corker, i think it's a silly effort what would you say to your colleagues?> those kinds of statements are not helpful. >> he's right about that. that's understatement of the year. it's not helpful. but do these senators, eugene, seriously believe if they shut down the government to prevent funding the affordable care act that it's the president who will be blamed for that? >> right. and if they believe that on what evidence? look, history problems that when republicans shut down the government, they lose. they get blamed for it, and people don't like it. people think it's silly and dumb and all the other things that fox anchor said to senator lee. but you know, so are they determined to march off this cliff? nay, to run off this cliff or are they indeed just posturing for the folks back home? it's hard to tell, frankly, with some of them. i think the more intelligent are posturing and some may want to just take the plunge. >> what kind of reception are they going to receive when they meet their constituents who are working damn hard to make something of thei

they said the border security in the senate bill which republican senator from tennessee bob corker saidbably overkill was not enough. so the question becomes what satisfies the house gop whether it comes to border security, and from all the policy discussions they've had, the only way they're going to move on that 11 million is if they feel the border is secure so that's the trigger. so there would be nothing unless there is the border security, they don't even know what that is. how do they move forward? there's been some talk what have eric cantore is pushing, andrea, perhaps we do something like the dream act where there's kids who are here by no fault of their own, perhaps put a pathway for them. but that would be directly tied to border security. john boehner today, i pressed him about this. said the rnc, chamber of commerce all coming out in favor of this, marco rubio, you guys are really hanging him out to dry. this is not going to hurt had the party for latino voters for generations? he said the only way to fix a broken system is to have this border security. it will be any inte

take a listen to what bob corker had to say. >> it's a silly effort. what people are saying behind that effort is we don't have the courage to roll up our sleeves and deal with real deficit reduction and spending decisions. we want to take ourselves out of the debate and act like we're being disciplined to the american people. by saying we're not going to vote for the cr. >> so where do you fall in this debate? would you support defunding obama care and not support any bill that funded it? >> i want republicans and conservatives to be as united as possible. we are absolutely united in wanting to repeal obama care, defund it, delay it. remove the most damaging parts of it. anything we can do to prevent obama care from taking solid root. i think most republicans will support. what the strategy, what the tactic -- i'm for an all the above strategy. the house is doing some pretty intelligent things. when president obama decided to delay the employer mandate, the house took a vote, well, why did we delay the individual mandate? that garnered the support of

republican senator bob corker from tennessee urging washington to try to help the situation. >> whatld be doing is urging calmness and urging the military to move through this civilian process as quickly as possible and ask the muslim brotherhood to act with some degree of responsibility as it relates to what's happening. but our role right now should be one of applying calm, trying to get our partners in the region to do the same thing. gregg: kt macfarland lines us. senators on both sides of the aisle are saying cut off the military aid to egypt. >> we should have cut off the aid when morsi was starting to dismantle democracy. we should give them the aid now. they need to fix the government and get an inclusive government. and they need to find a way to fix that economy. egypt runs out of food by the end of the year and no money to buy it. you will have foot riots by the end of the year unless the money is restored. gregg: we should use our money to nudge them in the right direction. >> the best interests of the united states isn't giving gift to people, it's to buy a seat at the t

republican senator bob corker says delaying the provision is not enough. >> i think just moving it backis not going to undo the uncertainty that people have. so i think the administration is recognizing that this policy is very damaging to the employment in our nation, and i'm glad they've taken this step and, yes, there's many other pieces of this -- if not all -- i'd like to see undone. gregg: wyoming senator john barrasso is chairman of the senate republican policy committee. he joins us now. senator, thanks for taking a few moments. you may have noticed that some former federal judges and some constitutional law experts are all saying what the president is doing here is illegal, and they point to this provision. we'll put it up on the screen. this is the affordable care act, section 1513. effective date, the amendments made by this section shall apply to months beginning after december 31, 2013. senator, the word "shall" is mandatory. there's no choice, there's no discretion. would you agree that the president cannot simply impose the mandate whenever he wants to? >> well, i agree w

senator bob corker, it is a silly effort. what would you say?nd of statements are not helpful, those kind of statements are dismissive but they are nothing compared to what we're going to hear from the american people. when they discover this law goes into effect. and if we fund th imitation of s horrible law, those of us who are republicans and claime claie against obamacare who happen to vote to fund it will have a lot to pay, a lot to answer for with our constituents. bill: there is a study that suggests $12 billion more because the employer mandate has now been suspended for another year. a minimum of $12 billion added to the tab of the health care law. >> that is right. on top of an already escalating bill. a huge bill that keeps going up. twice as expensive as we were told it would be on the outset. it is not fair, to make health care less affordable and we should not fund it. bill: we will see how you do on the vote tally going forward. thank you for your time, sir. >> thank you. >> john scott has a preview of what is happening. >> presid

bob corker, called, b.s., loud enough for the room to hear except he didn't say b.s. he said the whole word i can't say here. lindsey graham insisted, quote, senator mcconnell was completely informed about what was going on. it's not hard to see why mcconnell doesn't want republicans identifying him with the deal because the overwhelming reaction to it from conservatives but in the senate, on the air waves across the country, it's been outrage. republicans pledged to provide votes to allow nominees to reach the floor and win confirmation, in exchange republicans got, well, pretty much nothing. there wasn't any deal, richard shelby, conservative republican from alabama said. they got what they wanted, we basically got rolled. that's why vast majority of republicans, 29 in the senate, stopped the filibuster of cordray on tuesday. six filibustered perez for labor secretary. in the era of the tea party, there's immense pressure on republican lawmakers to constantly prove their purity to the base. which means they're still a strong political insensitive to keep on filibust

senator bob corker to read just a moment ago we saw senator orrin hatch speaking to reporters. again, once those principles come to the podium we will stop and let you listen to what is happening. in the meantime, a chance for you to weigh in on the debate that the senate is undertaking. go ahead. >> yes. thank you for taking my call. i am very discouraged with some of the comments that i ever tonight where it seems like the country is so divided down racial lines. any reference to the president or what he does or doesn't do is motivated racially. i can tell you that i thought that most of those were over the race issue back in the 60's. but i guess i was wrong. however, getting through to today's issue with the filibuster, for the nominees, i would say that when we go to a changing major legislation, such is as we are getting on a slippery slope. while it may be a winner for one party today, it will deal loser for that same party in two or three elections. and we cannot, as a nation, become so divided that we forget who we are as people. who we are as a people is one nation, m

that was an idea put forth by some senate republicans, including bob corker.e will be monitoring what happens outside the chamber and we will be getting your calls and comments as well. back to the peace by jennifer steinhauer, "a day of friction notable even for a fractious congress." all this coming to a head. the big issue continues to be a number of the president's nominees. sarah binder is going to be joining us later in the programs talk specifically about what impact this potentially could have on the ugnate as an institution. h north carolina, democrat line, good morning. still dressing sharp. listen, on the filibuster rule, there have never been so many filibusters registered by the republicans under this resident -- under any other president. we cannot t anything done because every time we turn around they are filibustering. that is the reason we have gridlock's and nothing getting done in the senate. he want to filibuster everything. when he became president they said they are not going to let anything he come up with go through. mitch mcconnell sai

. >> so you have bob corker of tennessee basically yell out bull -- this is on the air -- >> bull crap disarray. this is our side that has to suffer this all the time. and now we're seeing them fall apart from the inside. it's pretty satisfying. >> stephanie: you say the best part reid still has the votes for limited repeal of the filibuster. >> exactly. the filibuster is essentially over. what is amazing is that the -- the original [ inaudible ] that reid was talking about was only limited to nominations for the administration. what this deal has done has basically said the filibuster is dead on all cases, if democrats stick together and want to bust up obstruction with 50 votes plus 1 they can do it, and now you are going to see democrats doing this and instead of negotiating with mitch mcconnell, they are going to start negotiating with john mccain. >> stephanie: yeah interesting stuff. markos before you go i have to get your take on liz cheney in wyoming. salon wrote a place, the republican party has to hit rock bottom, liz cheney is perfect. does she have a chance of winning this

changes in the social insurance we had very good and positive comments coming out from people like bob corkerf tennessee who really wants to solve problems. nothing much has happened since. the presidentthat make some steps publicly to show this was not just rhetoric. so far, nothing. in a broader sense, we have a very different set of worldviews here. for a lot of republicans, it is much more about cutting government programs. in that sense i think the caller is absolutely right. as importantrly for them as cutting government. point.t in parties acting like parliamentary parties in a system that does not tolerate that, when you have a parliamentary minority that vote no on everything it can work elliptically. it worked in 1994. 7.5 monthsuick and to get it. it can surely did more to reducing deficits and a balanced budget. the same thing happen with his healthcare plan. democrats innst 1994 in gave them the majority. same thing in 2010. a little bit more from our twitter audience. keep the filibuster rules the same. i want to show you this piece in the wall street journal. -- he refers to th
