senator cochran has been in all the efforts that senator inouye has made. the product was filed a few days ago. the overall spending level on that bill was suspected by 40 republicans earlier this year. in addition, the bill contains priorities for members, democrats and republicans. and though some of my republican colleagues in recent days have publicly distanced themselves from the idea that members have a role to play in the appropriations process, nearly all of them did nothing privately to withdraw their priorities from this bill. now, mr. president, i'm not going to take a long time tonight but i am going to say a few things about this. it's no surprise, because i've said it before, i, like everyone here, support the constitution of the united states. i don't carry this with me every day but nearly every day. i don't read it every day but i have a pretty good idea of what's in it. and one of the things that i understand and support is the founding fathers decided that we should have a unique form of government, with three separate and equal branches

cochran was given the senate fisa in 1978 when he decided to run for the senate seat that eastland jeal did, he called blake. cochran talk to blake on the phone, asked for his help and secured it, but the two men never really melded after he conceded eastland. blake, like many members of the eastland organization, moved to an alliance with cochran's rival in the republican party, trent lott. despite his connection, blake was seldom floated and rarely photographed. he existed like some sort of the enigmatic delta. over the years he bought more land and made substantial investments, lost much of it, yet lived comfortably in a big house in greenwood. it was to this place that blake summoned scruggs in the summer of 1992. both scruggs hadn't seen blake in years he was familiar with his own. he had spent nights there in the previous decade dealing with blake's problems. now it was blake's turn to reciprocate. when scruggs told his wife of the trip, and began to wonder what hold blake might have over her husband to summon him to travel 300 miles to the delta. to die again, blake should have b

thad cochran had a huge role in that bill, as did every other ranking member on all the subcommittees on appropriations. so what's offensive to me is not that we're defeating the omnibus. i like that. but what's offensive to me is that we've gotten into this bad habit of trying to score cheap political points. and for senators to get on this floor and say, "we won," and, you know, do this kind of stuff when you know how many republicans worked hard on provisions in that bill, and it -- in fact, republicans worked hard, frankly, harder than our side did, on mccaskill-sessions. when he 17 democrats supporting it. you had unanimous support. i was pleased that we came together in that bipartisan way to bring the number down. and we won bringing the number down to the level the republicans wanted. along with 17 democrats. and that's what mccaskill-sessions/sessions-m ccaskill was. so i think that if we can go forward in the manner that the senator from tennessee has just spoken, then it's really important that we quit trying to mislead somehow the american people that the bill that we were

the senators from mississippi, tad cochran, one of the great appropriators of all times, i could go on for a few pages with his earmarks. did the republicans not after the election have an obligation to go back and say, i know i asked for that before the election, could you please take it out of the bill now? >> it certainly would have been nice, but obviously there are guys on both sides who think this is the way thing should be done. the game is going to change dramatically, though. come january, either the new tea party members or the old republicans who learned the lessons from 2006 are going to basically set new rules. and we will pass a budget. we will pass resolutions. we will pass appropriations bills. and if we don't, we deserve to be beat. i just challenge one of my friends here on this show, who say that members lose if they don't bring home the bacon. show me one single member who lost this last year, because he didn't bring back earmarks, and i'll show you ten who basically got re-elected for having no earmarks. the game needs to change and change dramatically. >> to ed's

host: then cochrane, republican of mississippi. -- ben cochrane, republican in mississippi.st: he was the top republican on the appropriations committee. and inouye was the top democrat on the appropriations committee. it is not surprising that they are doing this. this is what they do. host: we are talking about the remarks. we want to get your opinion on this. the numbers are on the screen. you can send an e-mail to paul singer of roll-call at journal or you can send us a tweet. jim hill has put a list together of the top ones. and like you said, cochran of mississippi, $230 million in your marks. roger wicker, another republican from mississippi, $199 million. patty murray, democrat of washington, $172 million. senator mccain made this big speech from the floor. it's what are the chances that these earmarks will stay in if this is debated and passed by the senate? guest: i honestly do not know. because of the time faiz -- timetable that we are facing, because of the race to get out and we do not know how many votes are going to be allowed, it is not clear who has the vote

last week i joined senators and away, cochran and feinstein in l letter to the president stating the we will vote to ratify theai treatyat and to appropriate funs to modernize our outdated nuclear weapons facilities and that he, the president, request the funds in his budget. r last night i received a response from the president saying he would do so. i ask unanimous consent tohe include both letters in the >> without objection. >> why are these so necessarily linked? the treaty and the plan for nuclear weapons modernization?gg the answer is if we are going to reduce our number of warheads, we want to make sure that we arw not left with what amounts to ao collection off what matches. defense secretary gates said, quote, there is an absolutely no way we can maintain a credible of weapons in our stockpileow without either resorting to testing our stockpile or pursuing a modernization program.ber 2 in the november 24th statementrs senator schogol and corker said, quote, they couldn't support reductions in the u.s. nuclear forces unless there is adequate intention to modernizing thesett

this bill, $420 million for inouye, 560 million for cochran. how much will it cost you?o to foxnews.com/your money, check out the taxpayer calculator. if you making under 15 grand, it's going to cost you 34 cents. if you're going to make between 50 and 100, $13, if you're going to make about 100-200, $98, if you make over two 50rbg it's going to cost you 979. you can also vote and tell congress, is this how you want your money to be spent. already, we've had 10,000 people vote, 93 percent say no. so the disconnect is while republicans want to take earmarkers to the wood shed many believe in congress bringing home the bacon is good politics, inouye and cochran are popular, patty murray has led by a wide margin. right now we know of three defectors, bennett of utah, vin voif of ohio and kit bond of missouri and at least three noncommitted republicans, murkowski, shelby. the omnibus contains more money for the military. >> senator inouye wouldn't want to bring the bill to the floor and senator reid wouldn't let him if they thought they would get the votes so they clearly ha

cochran, no. >> reporter: failed twice in the senate. so, the president promised compromise. >> we need to redouble our efforts to resolve this impasse in the next few days. >> reporter: here's what's at stake without action. someone making $62,000 a year could see their taxes go up $2,200, starting next month. but extending all the cuts means someone making $10 million a year will keep $450,000 of their income that would have gone to uncle sam. it is a costly deal at a time of worry about the deficit. none of the cuts is paid for. in fact, keeping taxes at this level over the next ten years could add nearly $4 trillion to the national debt. sources tell me that a deal could be set in the next couple of days, and the white house would like to move this along fairly quickly because republicans continue to say they will do nothing else in the lame duck session until this tax issue is finished. david? >> all right, david kerley starting us off tonight. and let's turn to rick klein, our washington editor, who is following every step of this.

let's go to senator cochran right now.ally a gulf coast test center for ships. $5 million for natural products expo at the university of mississippi. let's go to the tax calculator so i can tell you and show you exactly how much this will cost you. if you earn, basically, under $15,000, it's going to cost you about $0.34. if you make $30,000 to $50,000 $13, if you make $100,000 to $200,000, this bill, this pork, if you will, will cost $99. and if you make over $250,000, it's going to cost you almost $1,000. we also want you to vote. this bill will be debated tomorrow. you have an opportunity to tell congress what you think. do you believe this is a wise use of your money? now, i will tell you inside washington, there you go. you can vote. we'll probably get, you know, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 people voting on this thing by the end of the day. now, here's the key you guys is again there's how many people are going to cross over. republicans say they need at least three votes. you've got some lame duck republicans who apparently

republicans like ted cochran, number one earmarker by the way, a republican.helped to design this all along. this was bipartisan in nature, everybody agreed to it and understood what was going on. then all of a sudden they pull support away and i guess they do so because the tea party influence as you suggested. that invites charge of hypocrisy. not only did they have the earmarks in it, they helped design the bill. how does government work if you are simply playing politics to appease the tea party? >> what happens in a big election, the party changes its character and incumbents change to accommodate result of the big election. a lot of republicans in the senate in 1978-1980, jerry ford republicans, go along/get along. slow down the growth of the welfare state. ronald reagan won the president and suddenly they supported the reagan agenda. 2010 was a big election. that's what the lame duck shows. tax deal, president of the united states who spent two year, three years, four years on the campaign, screaming about repealing the bush tax cuts, had a view that es
