byrd on the floor of the senate. brian: he died in 2010.s there anybody like him in the senate now? mark: you know, i'm not sure there's going to be anyone like him ever again. again, he was out there reciting poetry. he knew the rules of the senate. there are so many times we were going through videotape and watching him just either wax poetic about what the institution is supposed to do, or take on a senator who doesn't know the rules as well as he does. i'm not sure there is an institutionalist now that does that. brian: 92 when he died, he was still a united states senator at the time. kind of explain to the average person that may not be in the television business, how do you do this? what kind of days to you have? for instance, how many edits are there in this document are? mark: well again, hats off to kimberly, who did the editing for this. there is a screenshot, i don't know if nick is able to show it, but if you take a look at the timeline for the documentary, which is about 90 minutes long. you're seeing it on screen there. there

it was in the 1990's, which at one point, bob byrd takes up the floor.e does a speech about incivility in the senate. it's a very famous speech for senate watchers. he basically gets out there, and not by name because you're not allowed to impugn a senator by name, that's rule 19. maybe we should have that in every workplace. but he gets out there and everybody in the senate chamber knows he is addressing rick santorum, and he's got a great line. there's been giants in the senate. little did i know i would see pygmies. that's when tension really started to be amped up. again, it's for the viewer to make their own minds up whether that's the right way to do it, and whether it's the same today as it was in the 1990's. brian: i've got to mention a former employee by bill gray, put together a website. mark: on charts. brian: on charts. 700 charts on there? we call them screen grabs. anybody that wants to look at this, they can get online. go into google and type in bill gray and senate charts, house charts, and it'll come up. mark: part of the thing with ric

and then in strides senator robert byrd. i was standing at a desk over there on the other side, and senator byrd's seat was either here or here. and so i finished my speech. and he says, will the senator from florida yield. of course i will yield. and senator byrd for 30 minutes gives an oration on the history of maiden speeches in the united states senate. so you can imagine that is nothing -- nothing i said was memorable but it was certainly memorable to this senator that all of a sudden i would be treated to the corporate knowledge of one of th the lie - one of the lions of the senate in looking back at the history of this body. i want you to know that i'm a florida boy. my family came to florida from denmark in 1829. for those of you from the northeast, so many people come to florida from the northeast. well, my great, grea great-grandfather was a sailor, a teenager on a sailing ship, and he ended up in new york in a barroom brawl. he was frightened that he was going to be arrested. so he ran to hide. he ran down to the

first term he had to take downor labor reform with free enterprise and future prosperity so for robert byrd in the machinery of big labor and to become that backbone of the opposition it was an epic showdown. for those 18 hour days he taught his staff to that ragtag bipartisan dick lugar or baker to keep everyone in the boat. they withstood six cloture votes and they won from the big power grab. it only seems fitting that the other end of his tenure wouldur be marked by that right of center accomplishment for prosperity for all america. he chaired three of the senate's most distinguished and critical committeesos the health committe committee, judiciary and most recently finance. this congress is finance chairman he led the tax relief for middle-class american families and tax reform to the american job creators. painstaking chairman hatch had to thread the needle to attend carefully to the colleagues and keeping the eyes on the prize and once again he got it done. so what about the decades in between these two bookmarks cracks may be his special devotion to the federal judiciary as central

some of the most eloquent defense of the legislative filibuster came from the late senator byrd in his last speech he made in the rules hacommittee he said the legislative filibuster is the necessary defense against the excesses of the popular well - - will and the excesses of the executive. it is a necessary defense and we should keep it. this fractured nation needs a consensusbuilding institution and requiring 60 votes to pass major legislation that forces us to come to gather. we worked on the legislation to fix no child left behind. g everybody has an opinion everybody's an expert on education but finally we got 85 votes. do you know what? we made some big changes and people accepted it and now those public schools don't have to worry about the education policy because we talked about it until we came to a conclusion and accepted it. one example of the other way to do it is obama care eight years ago democrats have the majority's all democrats voted for it all republicans voted against it and what happened we have been trying to repeal it ever since wet but a constant state of educ

some of the most eloquent defenses i remember senator byrd last beach in the rules committee where he said that the filibuster is the defense against the popular will and the excesses of the executive and then we should keep it. this fractured nich non- - - nation needs a consensusbuilding institution and requiring 60 votes to pass major legislation is the discipline that forces us to come together. and to fix no child left behind that was not easy to do. but do you know what? that is a lasting solution and teachers don't have to worry inav public schools to zig and sagged changing federal education policy because we talked about it until we came to a conclusion and accepted it. >> eight years ago democrats with obama care all the democrats voted for it all the republicans voted against it and what happened? been trying to veto ever since it passed a constant state of agitation and debate. and the legislative filibuster is one thing nominations are another until recently to be decided by a majority vote. they could have been decided by 60 votes but they weren't at least since a centur

robert byrd, george meaney, the whole machinery of big labor. so this freshman became the public face and private backbone of the opposition. it was an epic showdown. orrin worked 18-hour days. he taught his whole staff how to draft amendments. he gave pep talks to his rag-tag bipartisan band of brothers, dick lugar, howard baker, fritch hawlings from across the aisle, trying to keep everyone in the works. it worked. they won, and american prosperity was kept safe from a big power grab by union bosses. it only seems fitting decades later the other end of orrin's senate tenure would also be marked by major hard-won, right of center accomplishments for prosperity for all americans. orrin might have chaired three of the senate's most distinguished and critical committees -- the help committee, judiciary, and most recently finance. and this congress, as finance chairman, he led the charge to deliver once in a generation tax relief to middle-class american families and tax reform to american job creators. more late nights. more painstaking negotiatio

corker and i followed the rule of howardt baker and robert byrd. i will not surprise you if you don't surprise me. not only did we not surprise each other we looked out for each other and we respected each other's work so they work the same way and i'm convinced were the beneficiary of that because when they approach the staff for either one of us they found out one plus one equals three and the people for whom we work are the beneficiaries. but if bob corker would serve into the united states senate until he was 100 years old but i am looking forward to working with marsha blackburn who is corker's successor and i have todm admit with peyton manning. he has done is united states center whatever one - - senator whatever he tennessee in hopes a senator would do. he has gotten up early determined to find some way to make the country a little better. . . . . madam president, i'mto honored to have opportunity to join my colleagues and rising today to speak in tribute to my friend, senator bob corker and in recognition of his remarkable service to the n

and even a man like william byrd because his mansion has 15 or 20 houses, even he knows perfectly well that there are really snazzy people in britain who have 100 or more houses. so there's this sense that europe is country bumpkins looking at your betters over in england. always trying to be like dems, always striving to more and more match the english pattern, but never of course by coming close. you are definitely second-class citizens in your own mind in the empire. and then here comes the great awakening. this huge surge of a doubt that evangelical citizens in the colonies. it was pretty well faded out in the 1750s, but it's left behind a whole lot of evangelical christians who have been told by their faith that britain is not necessarily the best model for them. what matters in this world is not how educated you are, how cultured you are how good your family is, how much wind do you have in your basement? how well you can read philosophy. what matters in this world is how well are you getting ready for the next world? not how do you live this life, but how are you going to live t

when people said school closings are racist, rahm emmanuel said how dare you say that about barbara byrd bennett. there's a way of deploying black people in positions of power who themselves are implementing racist and white supremacist policy to effectively deflect accusations of racism, and that's really bad. so -- also, the obama presidential library is the kind of thing that middle class people of all races, white liberal people in chicago, everybody, this sounds great, it's obama. so i think it's really been hard for people to marshal political leverage to kind of change the frame of this conversation. i think that in terms of the consequences, people are going to lose their homes. people have already lost their homes. and i think that at some point we are going to have to keep thinking critically about this strategy because i don't know -- i think it's good to keep fighting for the cba for the community benefits agreement. i also think there needs to be a next tier strategy because i'm not seeing a lot of movement on that front. and how are we going to be able to do harm reduction
