saxby chambliss isn't going to marry you. ergo you don't get to marry anyone. [laughter] it's the same reason, i believe. this is same reason i say we should eliminate social security-- because i'm not old, and never will be. [laughter] and why should i care about women's reproductive rights? i don't have a vagina. i've checked. [laughter] all saxby and i are saying is nothing is worth fighting for unless it's happening to you. if memory serves, lincoln freed the slaves because he was black. [laughter] but senator chambliss on the other hand is white that explains why he's against affirmative action. [laughter] and he voted against the 2009 stimulus bill, because he's already got a job. [laughter] and by his own logic, no marriage is legitimate except marriage to saxby chaxbliss. [laughter] sorry, ladies. so marriage is safe as long as saxby chambliss never turns gay. which you know, could happen. because he has proven he really only cares about one special man. and that's the word. we'll be right back.

[laughter] sax by chambliss may not get what it's like to be exclude but i'm guessing hillary clinton has faced her share of discrimination. how did it take to long and how is this guy not there? >> just because i believe states should have the right to define marriage in a traditional way does not make me a bigot. >> jon: okay. first of all. um, is there a time when this guy doesn't appear to be desperately thirsty? i feel like he must have a prespeech ritual where he lick priscutto. he has a made. believing it should be left to the stat

now the clarification from saxby chambli chambliss, the ranking member of senate intelligence and otherss that there were two contacts, one to the fbi and one clearly was to the cia. >> that's what senator chambliss is saying? >> that's what others are saying on the hill, one to the fbi, one to another agency action and i believe that the inference is that the other agency was the cia. >> well, we've been told flat-out that that's exactly right, that the first contact was to the fbi directly in early 2011, saying we'd like more information about tamerlan tsarnaev. we have reason to believe he's become radicalized, a story that i think has been out there. the fbi looked into it, found nothing and told the russians they had come up empty and asked if they had any further information twice, and twice the russians didn't respond. in september of that same year, as one official said to me, the russians in essence dust off the same question, and send it this time to the cia, thinking well, perhaps the cia will get a different response. the cia send it back to the fbi, because obviously he's a

and georgia republican saxby chambliss. we'll get the latest

others that say, saxby chambliss bliss most prominent among them, that tsarnaev should be tried perhaps as enemy combatant, not even in u.s. criminal court. what do you think of that? >> i think the department in the military has to at least make that assessment, does it make more sense to determine he is an enemy combatant and hold him as that to protect national security and security interests. they have to make a judgment about this. hopefully they're going through the process. >> he is a u.s. citizen, naturalized. if you were successful in trying the shoe bomber, why is our criminal court system not good enough for a u.s. citizen, richard reed wasn't a u.s. citizen, he was a british citizen. >> yes. first off, reed matter came in shortly after 9/11, so the infrastructure with regard to identifying somebody, designating someone as enemy combatant. >> legal structure wasn't there. >> the process wasn't there to do that. here it is a little different. and our government has held somebody as a u.s. citizen on u.s. soil as an enemy combatant, so the united states supreme court hasn't ful

saxby chambliss said he is not running for re-election in 2014. he began to break with sort of conservative orthodox and maybe because he freed himself from the pressure of running for re-election and he is one of the guys that's out there repudiating grover norquist saying i don't have to vote with norquist on everything. he voted to allow debate on this and -- you know, he can't pay a political price if he votes for back ground checks. he is not running for re-election. >> the nra gave everybody a pass on voting to -- open debate. that was like okay, you get -- you get off the reservation this one time. here is your pass. i got to come back to us on the actual legislation. there wasn't a lot of risk to them to do that. it made them, they hoped it made them look good with the survivors and the grieving parents. it was -- they were -- they were at least open to debate. i don't know that anybody on that list, except for coburn and maybe chambliss, was going to be a get. >> i guess what -- with comes up being dean heller. we talk about nevada being

we've also just learned senator saxby chambliss the ranking republican on the senate intelligence committeelot of things that are surrounding this that would give an indication that it may have been a domestic terrorist, but that just can't be assumed. i realized it was a horrific situation and that nobody deserved it. those were the words of olympic marathoner frank shorter after a terrorist attack, but this time he was talking about the munich games in 1972. those words also ring true for what shorter witnessed in boston yesterday. he had just stepped away from the celebration in copley square when he hear the boom of the explosions, a gut-wrenching dejavu for frank shorter. he witnessed terrorists carry out the attacks on israeli athletes at the 1972 olympics. days later he went on to win the gold medal in the olympic marathon. frank shorter joins me now live from denver. frank, thanks so much for joining us. what went through your mind when you first heard the explosions yesterday? >> the first thing that went through my mind was that's a bomb. unfortunately, as you said, i have the exp

yesterday georgia senator chambliss, the vice chairman of the intelligence committee, revealed at least one federal agency might have been aware of the boston bomber's intentions before the attack. this is what he said, quote, there are now appears that there may have been some evidence that was obtained by one of the law enforcement agencies that did not get shared in a way that it would have been helpful. turns out if -- if that's the case, then we have to determine whether or not that would have made a difference. that's unbelievable. but unfortunately, there is more tonight. according to reuters, the eldest bombing suspect was on a government list of suspected terrorists. that report reads in, quote, the name of one of the boston marathon bombing suspects was lifted on the u.s. government's highly classified central database of people it views as potential terrorists. it's so vast that this did not mean that authorities would automatically keep close tabs on him. what's the point of having a database in the first place then? the obama administration has a lot of explaining to do her

way, if brown's logic, if you can call it that, sounds familiar, think back to what senator saxby chambliss said about his opposition to gay marriage last month.

i'm excited to introduce this bill and glad to have senators chambliss and baucus as cosponsors and, mr. president, i i yield back the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from utah is recognized. mr. lee: i thank the senator from virginia for his cooperation in helping me get this time. mr. president, the president of the united states has spent the last several weeks evoking the tragedy at sandy hook and highlighting the voices of the victims in an empt to promote his gun control proposals. he has not explained to the american people how any of this new gun -- any of these new gun control measures would have prevented that or any other terrible tragedy. or how any of these measures would reduce gun violence in any measurable way. instead, his proposals would serve primarily to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens. recently i launched a product called protect 2-a to see our bill of rights, and believe members of congress should be doing everything in their power to protect the second amendment rights of citizens, just as we should be protecting all the rights protected b

senator saxby chambliss yesterday. >> this particular -- it will cause the administration and congress overall security programs around the country, particularly for major events. >> stephanie: i hope they catch this guy soon. >> could be a chick. >> stephanie: that was speculation about that. they think there's more than one. maybe based on what happened in madrid. more than one person that did it. i don't know. yes who can say? >> the fbi soon, hopefully. >> stephanie: rick, can't pronounce his name. special agent in charge. >> as an on-going investigation our investigation certainly will not be confined very likely to the city limits of boston. we'll go to the ends of the earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this. >> stephanie: we're going to talk to chris kerr, former fbi agent. you know, they were saying -- i know they already found the backpacks. they were saying that's sometimes the best source of information. it will be fascinating to ask him. i don't know how they find the person because of that. >> could be dna residue. >> stephanie: right. oh. ye

she finally got back to saxby chambliss' office. she mostly got machines then she got bored.ce who also voted against background checks. >> someone actually answered at corker's office. >> stephanie: right. she was bored and her kids were at home. because they thought it was hilarious, like it was a prank call. this is her on the phone. >> i'm in bristol. >> okay. thank you. >> and i would like to tell senator corker that on behalf of all mentally ill individuals in america, i want to thank him for protecting my second amendment rights. >> yes ma'am, i will certainly let senator corker know that message. >> can you repeat it for me, please. >> on behalf yourself and the mentally ill people of america you would like to thank the senator for supporting your rights. >> yes. can you add that just because i have been -- to be a dangerous paranoid schizophrenic doesn't mean that i shouldn't have the right to buy more guns. don't you agree? >> i can certainly let senator corker know that. >> do you agree? don't you? >> i will let senator corker know that for you. i'm just here to re

committee has held a closed-door meeting with fbi and other law enforcement officials and senator saxby chamblisshowever, according to senator susan collins as chris mentioned earlier agencies do appear to have some issues when it comes to sharing intelligence information. not only with each other but in at least one case, she says within one particular agency. american investigators have reportedly traveled to russia and are now in contact with the parents of the two suspects. their mother is believed to be speaking with u.s. and russian security officials. their father has been called to russian security service headquarters but says he is too sick to go. the u.s. government is suing cyclist lance armstrong saying he violated his contract with the u.s. postal service by using performance enhancing drugs. the u.s. postal service paid about $40 million to sponsor armstrong's teams for six of his seven tour de france wins. armstrong personally got about $17 million from the deal between 1998 and 2004. government wants its money back. >>> former c.i.a. director david petraeus who resigned last nove

senator chambliss, vice chair of the subcommittee on violence said "i'm disappointed that it appearsying on miranda's public safety exception to gather intelligence which only allows, at best, a 48-hour waiting period that may expire since the suspect has been critically wounded." will there be a public outcry, ed o'keefe, about all that's given, the suspect is a natural citizen? >> with those five senators -- lawmakers, certainly the outcry could potentially be beginning. it's no surprise that that quintet, if you will, is calling for the administration to handle him as what they describe as an enemy combat talent. the obama administration doesn't use that term anymore it allows for an indefinite detention of someone under national security concerns. that's what they are hoping for. we will see what the justice department decides, they haven't yet. but certainly, this issue will find its way to washington. there are various house and senate committees that have already said they plan to investigate exactly issues leading up to this explosion and then the subsequent manhunt and inves

chambliss: this year marks the 65th anniversary of the air force reserve created by harry s. truman on april 14, 1948. since the founding of the united states, citizens have answered the call to arms, accomplished their mission with professionalism and honor and returned to their civilian lives to await the next call to serve. truman envisioned a new reserve component to continue this tradition of service, being ready when called upon, that was founded by the army air service reservists of the first world war who flew wood and canvas biplanes. the forereturn of our modern air force reserve was authorized by the national defense act 1916. today air force reservists known as citizen airmen perform leading roles in military operations, humanitarian crises and disaster relief around the globe. the air force reserve consists of officers enlisted and civilian servants who are tasked by law to fill the needs of the armed forces wherever necessary. more than 860,000 people make up the ready stand-by, retired and active duty retired reserve. this ilus000 selected reservists who are re

there is also a series of senators, colin sacks business chambliss, lindsey graham, all the years afterrity. is he right and do our intelligence miss something? >> no. mr. graham is not right on this issue, although i'm sure generated some headlines. you know, i think that what we saw in boston was state, local, federal officials, every agency, rallying around a city that had been attacked. identifying the perpetrators just hours after the scene had been examined. we now have one individual deceased, one in custody. charges have been brought. i think that all our law enforcement officials performed in exemplary fashion after the bombing d taken place and we should be very proud of their work as obviously, we are very proud of the people in boston, the first responders around the medical personnel who helped save lives. what we also know is that the russian intelligence services had alerted u.s. intelligence about the older brother, as well as the mother, indicating that they might be sympathizers to extremists. the fbi investigated that older brother. it's not as if the fbi did nothing.

saxby chambliss came out today and said while he doesn't support the bill, he would likely vote to allow cloture to move forward. there are a number of other republicans who could be in that same boat as him. >> we've also seen stories over the last couple of days of discussions between senator joe manchin and pat toomey of pennsylvania working behind the scenes. what are they discussing? what do we know they're discussing? and what are senator manchin's plans? >> trying to find some compromise on background checks. he is a member of the n.r.a. you might remember when he ran for the senate had an ad of him shooting a gun at the cap and trade bill. he's a big gun proponent. he has been trying to broker a dill. talks between manchin and coburn have fell apart. now he and senator toomey are trying to come to a deal that could get both sides together and have such agreement that the republican house would be willing to take it up. >> it sounds like an uphill fight when you look at the 13 republican senators, including mitch mcconnell, who've signed a letter saying they will not support gun l
