boxer had any intent to bring racism into the debate.ust wanted to win the argument and say well, look, i use the naacp. i will take it out of context to throw the guy off his game. i think that's what she was doing. >> actually, bill, i think it's her persona. i don't think she can help herself. when she gets caught up in a rut like that or against the wall, race comes out. she is -- the brainchild of aneath hill at-anita hill attacking clarence thomas. go back to that all of that garbage against ken blackwell the secretary of state of ohio saying he rigged the election that was barbara boxer. bill: she would say, mr. alford, i love black people. i want the best -- i'm a liberal. i want the best for black people. now, two people mentioned are conservatives. attack conservatives using any and all methods as any liberals will do i love black people. i will vote for everything that will help them. affirmative action and down the line. so, i think -- i don't think she feels that it's a racial argument. it's an ideological argument. if you o

i'm the come to, go to gallon barbara boxer. i talked about this, too, and she mentioned this in part of her defense. as a liberal, you have to decide which victims are related to you. her husband is a veteran, too. i wonder if she makes him call her senator. do into not call me ma'am! glenn: that is probably too much information for me. >> this is the liberal world view, to be have an opinion, you must be part of a certified victim group, so barbara boxer sees a black testifying before her and she thinks it is appropriate to cite other blacks. glenn: i just want to say this, america, i want you to know, if i may ann, speak to you just directly, barbara boxer may be watching right now, but i may have ann coulter on, but barbara is proud that ann is on. i think she's proud. >> that was one of my best moments when she called alford, the head of 100 black man club would be proud that you, sir, are testifying today >> and he drove himself here, too! that's good. that is fantastic. >> and he was fan fantastic, and by the way, he like

boxer: all right. well, i'm going to just put a couple things in the record and make sure that senator vitter can offer his budget point of order and then i'm going -- i've asked if the senator would be willing to take ten minutes on our side on the general debate. so i don't think i have to ask unanimous consent but why don't die that, that after i conclude and after senator vitter makes his point of order, then we get to senator durbin for his ten minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. boxer: okay. on the issue of the c.b.o. score, the congressional budget office score that scores the house bill as deficit reduction, i find it intriguing that my friend, who supports the c.b.o. when they say we're spending money -- for example, on the health bill they said, oh, look, c.b.o. says it costs money -- but he derides it when c.b.o. says that this particular bill is a deficit reducer. so i'd ask unanimous consent to place in the record the c.b.o. score which shows that, in fact, the -- the b

boxer had any intent to bring race into the debate. just wanted to win the argument and say, look, i'll use the naacp, i'll take it out of context to throw the guy off his game, i think that's what she was doing. >> i think it's her persona. when she gets caught up in a rut like it, race comes out. she was the brain child of anita hill attacking lawrence was barbara boxer. the garbage against ken blackwell from ohio, that was barbara boxer. >> she said, i love latin people. i want the best for black people. now, the two people you mentioned, judge thomas and mr. blackswell, are conservatives. now, she will attack conservatives using any and all methods as many liberals will co. if you have barbara box sher says, i love black people. from affirmative action and down the line, whatever will help them. i don't think she feels it's a racial argument. it's an ideological argument. if you oppose her views, then we'll come get you but it doesn't have anything to do with race. >> she loves poor black folks and she loves black folks in their pl

barbara boxer joins us now.ood to see you. >> good to see you. >> do you feel like a positive end is in sight? we hear lots of the back and forth but do you think a substantive bill is on it is way to being reached on the senate side? >> i do believe so. i can't tell you the hour it will happen or the day, but, soon, it will happen. i think what a lot of people are missing is that the finance committee bill which senator baucus is trying to make bipartisan is just one step in a very large process. we have the health committee bill. as you know, senator kennedy is the chairman of that and in his absence, senator dodd sent down a good bill and we have a bill that hopefully, will be bipartisan and come down and harry reid, our leader, will take the best of those and put them together, will pass something and we go to conference with whatever the house bill looks like. so this is just the beginning of a very difficult process. >> senator boxer, i want to bring in katrina, who is joining me this morning. >> thank you

alford's comments to boxer, three quick concerns. the three things i found troubling, first of all in president obama's speech he referenced aids as being the great killer of blacks in america. aids is not the great killer of blacks in america a abortion is. abortion is the number one killer of blacks in america today. the other point i found disturbing is that he was -- barbara boxer had this dustup with harry alford, and i applaud his willingness to stand up to her, when of course barack obama was there last night but 56% of black americans, 56% in a poll done by the national center for public policy research and wilson research strategies, 56% of blacks believe that policy makers have failed to adequately consider economics and quality of life concerns. they said 76% of blacks want congress to make economic recovery. and one last thing. i fear that this whole speech, this thing about family, this entire thing about personal responsibility, my concern is that this masks a more sinister intention and that being the government has gi

when he went in front of senator barbara boxer, had a clash.lize there was a background to this klatsch. he knew that she was really behind anita hill's battle during the hearing of clarence thomas. she gets skewered by senator boxer. steve: he is the ceo of the black chamber of commerce. he does not think cap-and-trade is a good idea. they called him up to talk about it. he does not like the fact that suddenly she quotes the naacp, which is for cap-and-trade. she also quotes a the ceo of john grant. here's the interchange. >> will john grant, who is the ceo of 100 black men of america , clean energy will unlocked millions of jobs. clearly, there is a diversity on this. >> that is condescending to me. i am danash -- i am the national black chamber of commerce and you are trying to put up another black group. >> if this gentleman were here, he would be proud that he was being quoted. >> he should have been invited. >> he would be proud. >> it is condescending to me. >> just so you know, he would be proud that you are here. he is proud, i'm sure,

i don't have the time to go into the reasons but i don't think so. >> senator boxer, good to see you. look forward to having you again. >> nice to see you, senator. >> same here. wonderful. >>> straight head, if president obama fails to get health care passed before the august recess, what will it mean for governments. we ask gop rising star haley barbour. straight ahead you're watching "msnbc live." i'm carlos watson. ... ...or if you're already sick... ...or if you lose your job. your health insurance shouldn't either. so let's fix health care. if everyone's covered, we can make health care as affordable as possible. and the words "pre-existing condition" become a thing of the past... we're america's health insurance companies. supporting bipartisan reform that congress can build on. come on in. you're invited to the chevy open house. where getting a new vehicle is easy. because the price on the tag is the price you pay on remaining '08 and '09 models. you'll find low, straightforward pricing. it's simple. now get an '09 malibu 1lt with an epa estimated 33 mpg highway. get it now fo

barbara boxer was invited as well.. >> you seem to object to the fact that she was quoting a black group as countermand during your black group. >> it was like being in the bad old days of mississippi, when one man would ride out -- rise up against the big boss, finding another black preacher. it was ugly. she opened up a mud pit that i would not jump into. >> boxer said that she was simply trying to show that there was different levels of discourse in the african- american community. but he said that for her to go down that road was got awful. bill: what an exchange. it went on, back and forth. he was giving no ground. megyn: what do you think? was she out of line? did he overreact? e-mail us. the officer claims that he was just investigating a fender bender, caught on surveillance video grabbing a young women -- young woman by the neck. he is sticking a gun in the face of a young woman. but the problem is that the tape does not show the whole story. bill: down under lock, nowhere to turn? cheer up. the world might co

the other point is barbara boxer had this dust up. barack obama was there last night. 56% of black americans, 56% in a poll done by the national center for public policy research and wilson research strategies, 56% of blacks believe that policy makers have failed to adequately consider economic and quality let concerns. they said 76% of blacks want congress to make economic recovery. i fear that this whole speech, this whole thing about family, this entire thing about personal responsibility, my concern is that this man has a more sinister intention. the government has given new, -- giving you, the poor family, the black family, the chance to take care of your children and you're not doing it. laura: that was a long answer. a lot of points in there. what he is saying is that the larger state apparatus, the bureaucracy that is being established under the administration, whether you're a democrat or republican, will be our new family. martin luther king and many other leaders have talked about the strength of individual families. the bl

boxer: sure. mr. vitter: i would simply ask the senator through the chair to consider the fact that if we don't take up this matter, however you want to fund it, however you want to consider it, if we don't take up this matter now, this week, then the argument will be made next week that we have to accede to whatever the house has done and we can't do anything differently. that includes a much shorter extension. i support the idea of an extension for 18 months as does the distinguished chair of the authorizing committee. but the house is going to pass, and is passing now, a much shorter extension. so would the senator not agree that it's a good idea to take up the senator matter now, immediately following the energy and water bill and not have the terms of our action dictated to us next week simply because the house is out of session. mrs. boxer: i would respond to senator vitter in this way: i do agree that we should take the highway bill up now. with the fix as proposed by senator baucus. i think it
