i want to go back to john cochrane. john, rather than employer-based system, you write we should have an individual-based system. can you tell us more? >> yeah. on those numbers. i mean, the question is where is the money going to come from to lower everybody's premiums? yes. individual-based system. you can have a free market in health insurance and a free market in health care. and one of the ingredients of that system is that your health insurance should be like your car insurance or your home insurance. you buy it. it sticks with you when you go from job to job so you don't have a pre-existing conditions problem. >> let's see. you have to reform the tax system if you do that. can the tax credit or the tax deduction go to the individual rather than the company? would that hasten? would that help this kind of free market reform? >> yeah, one of the reasons we have this pre-existing conditions problem is we gave a tax deduction for employer-provided group insurance. only group insurance. if your employer contributes to

. >> jim gillespie, tom rathbone and greg cochran. >> good afternoon, mr. gillespie. president, directors, jim gillespie, president, general director of yellow cab. i wrote down things i think i'm going to change a little bit so i don't repeat everything that's been said because i support everything that's been said so far. when i say we, i mean the cab companies, we have been on board with providing the mta with information from the very beginning. that has never changed. our opposition all of a sudden is to changes to what we originally agreed to. we signed contracts even to say, yes, we will provide information to you and to fti and this will help you better regulate the industry because that's what the mta is supposed to do, it's supposed to regulate. the proposal here today i think sounds like there's, i read there is a couple changes made and it was mentioned here a minute ago that, hey, maybe the on board equipment won't be required if we get everything from you. i think we're being set up it fail for this reason. if you look through the contract it's not just

and of course your colleague and someone i also consider a friend, thad cochran has an opponent on the far right. so you have all these republicans now pointing at senators, calling them rinos. republicans in name only. is it going too far? >> the people who say that about those three senators are -- yes, they're going too far. but i don't know that that means there's a civil war. you know, it's a free country, and it doesn't cost much to file for senator. so you can't blame somebody for giving it a shot. i think all three of those, cochran, mcconnell and graham will be renominated, and when they are, they'll be reelected. >> i still believe it's a civil war. you have the far right pointing fingers at the so-called conservatives. i never thought i would see this day. are you sure that your colleagues can beat back this challenge? >> wish on. let's go back to the poll on the front page of the washington post. this is shaping up to be a disastrous ten months coming up for the democratic party. and it may be partly six-year itch, which happens to presidential terms, but i think it comes b

the latest challenge is against thad cochran.nger has a running start and support from the club for growth which sponsored this ad which you'll notice includes the tea party symbol. the don't tread on me flag. >> washington's a mess. bailouts, record debts, government-run health care. career politicians bankrupting our country. had enough? chris mcdaniel has backbone. in the legislature he stood up to the big spenders in both parties. in court he represented mississippi against obama care. chris mcdaniel, the new, strong conservative leader mississippi needs. >> wow. me wave is spreading in the plains and southern states. here's where it stands right now. in wyoming, mike enzi faces a nasty challenge from liz cheney. in kansas, senior senator pat roberts also elected in '96 is being primaried by a tea party backed radiologist. in tennessee, facing a tea party backed opponent. in kentucky mitch mcconnell has to first tango with a republican opponent before taking on a democratic one who's up by two points. and in mississippi as i

chris mcdaniel, who is challenging cochran. there was actually already a minor controversy.nes rortsed he addressed a neoconfederate conference and costume ball sponsored by a group called sons of confederate veterans. it turns out he wasn't at the event but has attended previous ones. this is how one member described the group. they try to connect us with the clan. scv, we are simply a heritage defense organization. we defend what our people did back in the 1860s and tell the truth, tell things you never learned in school, not in the school books. manu, that is not the -- i'm pretty sure there's nothing like that in the autopsy from the rnc about how to build bridges. i mean, that's not going to be helpful. >> probably not. i mean, i think it'll be interesting to see how a young new candidate deals with a controversy like this. the issue there, though, no matter who wins this primary, the republicans are probably going to keep this seat. this is all about the republican primary base. i think what, karen, looks interesting about this race is now there are about eight republi

cochran, the shooter, facing a lot of other safeties, for any of the. in this just happened in. >> you have got to be completely tuned out to life to not see a speeding train coming towards you. up ahead you see a very large truck moving down the road. but right in front of that truck, comes a bm, aof his could. reports we read say this guy was okay. he got tossed to the side of the train and survive this conclusion. now, we all know once the roads get icy and snowy, you have back off on the throttle a little bit. he doesn't teak the advantage. is a are you this guy in this giant truck that has xl on the side of it -- >> i think it might have been unintentional drifting. he was drifting and then it was too late. >> he's a show off. >> you know she was showing off. there's someone standing there in the right position to get every angle of this thing. that has been done before. >> you i goes rotor boat mystery, they were just going to athrough their motor boat for 20 bucks for a good cuss. they were going to donate the money to the breks refoundation. >>

, senator mime cochran and senator enzi in a contest with the former vice president's daughter, senatorar alexander on the lest of incumbent republicans with what could be a very tough primary battle. the question now is, could we see a repeat of 20 ten when two republican incumbents, senators robert bennett and lisa murkowski, joining us to assess all of this, doug schoen, judith miller, fox news legal analyst, great to have you all here. let me start with you, doug, this is, i mean, this looks like a real battleground shaping up for the republican party. >> it is, this is the best news other than the budget deal president obama had all day. bottom line, the tea party has a fervent group of activists who vote in primaries. even if this two, four, seven incumbents you have there are all leading, probably leading comfortably now. they all are worried because of the nature of the republican primaries. >> does this disquiet you? >> the squabbling has to be great for the democrats, right? you have all squabbling with nobody really out there as a primary, you know, front runner, you know, ev

cochran: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum be dispensed with. the presiding officer: the senate is not currently in a quorum call. mr. cochran: madam president, since the senate has had an opportunity to be given an update on our status of negotiation on a farm bill, it's my pleasure to announce that since our first conference committee meeting in october, we have been working to reach an agreement on a new five-year farm bill, a bill that we can take to the house and senate and in collaboration and working through our differences make progress and establish a framework of government support and assistance for our agriculture sector to continue to contribute in an important way in the economic life of our nation. i'm pleased to say that we are making progress, but there are still some decisions that lie ahead of us. i'm hopeful that on both sides of the aisle in both bodies, we can come together on a farm bill agreement that will reform and modernize programs, produce budget savings at the same time and provide certainty about the government's r

thad cochran is worried about getting defeated.hutdown which means default. >> it kind of reminds me of "godfather iii" when he says every time i get out, they pull me back in. what's pulling them back in is the gravitational pull of the party. with those states that you went through but throughout the board. so while -- i saw jack lew the other day and i asked him if the budget agreement means that maybe there won't be a default fight. he says, well, i think it shows that they're learning. now, maybe john boehner and people in washington are learning, but nothing's changing that much at the grassroots yet. so there still is a lot of pull in these guys to disrupt, to force obama to his knees, to take hostages, and go through the same rigger morale. >> do republicans agree they screwed up with the shutdown? yes. right? >> well, most of them do. but not all of them. >> they all seem to have agreed they screwed up with bringing this country to fiscal default. that doesn't seem to scare them because they didn't actually do it. they act

there were also plenty of republicans, jesse helms, orrin hatch, thad cochran that wouldn't do it.ake us back and tell us what that was all about. >> well, i think there were two things at work. your guests talked about this being a vote and debate about foreign policy, about the anc being a proxy for the soviet union and certainly there was the element of communism involved and this was really a support for a communist group. but deeply underlying that was really the issue of racism and the evil of racism and the discussion about communism i think was just an overlay of that, that you look at our own history, how long it took us to try to eliminate the racism in our own society. i was watching the pictures you were showing. i was thinking of the same scene. it could be a scene in alabama with bull conner and lester maddox and george wallace. so the underlying issue of race was always involved in this and the notion that somehow the black majority was enferrior to the whites who were trying to bring civilization to that country and so that was part of the dewitt at least in my mind

joining us with his thoughts on korea, john cochran from clsa. very good to see you. thanks so much indeed for joining us. how should we perceive north korea and what it means from here? >> well, north korea is obviously a very difficult place to understand. so overall, what we would say is we just need to be cautious. at the end of the day, they're literally in their own world. they're often referred toss as the hermit kingdom. the execution shows you that anything literally can happen. so really, with north korea, the key thing is to remain vigilant and above all remain calm. >>. >> yeah. you're saying you know china has characterized this as an internal affair and as long ago accusations should remain verbal, little should change. how nervous should they be? if this is an irrational action, rehaven't had irrational actiones from north korea before. >> well, i think that china is well versed in north korea's behavior. and so if we think from a geopolitical perspective, the key issue comes for the chinese, they have the north koreans on their boards. what they want i

and mitch mcconnell anded that cochran. from the outside groups at the beginning, that could snowball into the others or work in the opposite direction. >> vehicle quickly, it's a very special race. the cheneys versus enzi. this has nothing to do with ideology. this one is one that is not like the other. >> that was just the point i was going to make. i think it was cheney wanted to create this as she is the true conservative. mike enzi is among the most conservative members. he is not part of a leadership. there is no argument that she made yet that convinces me and i'm sure voters why he needs to be fired. >> the most important thing here and will let you chime? on this. only one of the seven would be problematic in a general election if the incumbent loses. thank you very much. >> thanks, chuck. >> we have election results. that's one of the big things in the data bank. how many women have chaired the senate budget committee? the first person to tweet the correct answer gets an on air shout out. the answer and more is co

he has a general election challenge, where other republican senators, like ma mar alexander, that cochrance they get by the primary they're going to win re-election. mcconnell has to worry about both. so he went no on this budget deal because it breaks the caps put into effect by the put control act, aisle e, the sequester. >> it's fascinating. most of the country is saying, thank heavens we're not going to shut the government down. here's inside politics which, again, makes my head spin. thank you very much for explaining it all. we expert that. >> thank you. >> taxpayers, out more than $10 billion from the gm bailout. did the company's ceo just say, don't count on getting it back? yeah. we're going to play the tape and you can decide. >> do you think that gm should repay the taxpayers that money directly? >> well -- >>> not even a thank you, for all the money we gave you? what kind of thanks is that. when asked if general motors would pay back the $10.5 billion that taxpayers lost in the gm bailout, the company's ceo said this: they took an equity interest. they could have cast the bank

well, on that list it's actually the number one senate republican as mentioned, mitch mcconnell, cochranander in tennessee. and you look at this environment, there are 12 senate republicans who are running for re-election. craig, seven of the 12 face primary challenges coming from the tea party. that's pretty extraordinary. think about the situation if harry reid and dick durbin were running for re-election and getting challenges from the populist occupy wall street left, you don't see that going on, what's happening -- very interesting and striking. >> we know mitch mcconnell is sitting on roughly $7 million down there in kentucky and lindsay graham has a sizable money advantage. i would advantage that when guys like john cornyn where they are facing opposition from the right, it probably will have some sort of effect of how they handle themselves legislatively, no? >> absolutely. this has been playing out where john cornyn knew he was up for re-election, even before they got their primary challenges in the most recent steve stockman challenge. the chances for them to be willing to cut

look to the mcconnell primary, may 20th, look at thad cochran's primary in mississippi on june 3rd. big posts to see who is going to win what you rightly point out is a real fight within the party. >> i was going to bring up leader mcconnell. we anticipate he is not going to support this piece of legislation. does he need to do that politically? he's obviously facing a tough challenge from tea partiers, this is what's necessary for 2014 and looking further ahead to 2016. >> mitch mcconnell has done a couple of things. mitch mcconnell cut the deal to reopen the government after it was shut down. john boehner making it clear that was not his preferred strategy, shutting down the government was not the preferred strategy. i think mitch mcconnell has said a few things to say he's not all that worried about matt bevin, wealthy businessman that's challenging him. that said, i don't know if he puts a finger directly in the eye of the tea party. remember the thing about primaries and everywhere else a small electorate in which a very passionate group can have influence. the taert remains no

you've got thad cochran down in mississippi. and the republican senatorial committee is getting heavily involved spending money to fight off these guys. so they're really suffering as a result of this. but i think the incumbent lawmakers have begun to realize the chamber of commerce folks have begun to realize that this is hurting them in the long run. they're going to have to draw that line in the stand. maybe they can do that in 2014. every time you say the tea party is done with, they come back and surprise you. i don't think stockman's the guy, but the tea party is far from dead. >> well, we will wait and see, because i promise you we'll be watching. victoria soto and dana milbank, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, reverend. >>> up next, a bombshell surprise from george zimmerman's girlfriend. what it means for the assault case against him. >>> plus an update on the police officer who fired at a minivan filled with children. stay with us.

like that, i think the defense attorney has to put on jazz hands and somehow razzle dazzle johnny cochrandefense will do here, ashleigh, is say this does not make her a murderer. she did lie. but that was under the fact that they panicked and acted under anxiety and distress. not thinking that anyone would believe her story. but this doesn't go to the actual issue in the case. was it really an accident? and i think the prosecution will show that it goes to concussions of guilt. and that certainly people who engage in accidents don't behave this way. they call the police. they do things which a reasonable person under similar circumstances would do. >> reasonable is key here. because the jury is being asked to be reasonable and come up with reasonable doubt. one item of concussions of guilt or two, now we're at three. >> collectively. >> and four. and hey, dude, that's great dance moves apparently where you've got concussions of guilt. where i lost it is when she went to her father's house and created a fake e-mail. >> it's one thing to lie as she did and was caught lying. but i think juri

but you also see it in places like kentucky with mitch mcconnell, with thad cochran in mississippi oram in south carolina. you have 12 republican seats up, and people like those around cornyn and the republican establishment see that there is a wave out there and they don't want to take the challenge for granted. so they want to do everything they can to reassure enough voters john cornyn is conservative, our guy has done well for the con stitch win sis and for the issues that you care about. >> all right. just want to show everybody, though, senator cornyn is up by 44 points on congressman stockman right now, at least in gop polling numbers that have gone out that was obtained by politico. we have three months to go until the primary. wayne slater, the dallas morning news, thank you, sir. tomorrow, a look at the kentucky senate race that wayne brought up there. we've got senate minority leader mitch mcconnell. could face a strong democratic challenger in secretary of state allison grimes.
