. >> we'll have senator dick durbin on. he'll the democratic whip in charge of counting the votes. it's interesting how slowly the support is coming from the democratic side. you've had john kerry, a number of times, lobby those within the democratic party to support the president early on in this. why do you believe it seems that the argument or the convincing process has been long and arduous for the president and his allies? >> we all know it's about passion and intensity. only 8% in the latest poll is opposed to this treaty. only 8%. 58% support it. that 8% can be very powerful and persuasive. look at the newspaper ads. they cost 50 to 100,000 bucks to want to put one of those ads in. the people like huckabee are playing too. what's different and this is a different strategy on the part of the hawks, when we went into iraq, they didn't say we're doing this for israel. they never said that. it's clear they aretize advertise advertiseing notions it's very clear we have to protect them. the people supporting the treaty will say the best way to protect them is to stop the nuclear p

hosting this forum and also say that there's no better advocate in the united states senate than dick durbin for biomedical research. and it's been a great pleasure to work with you, dick, on this issue that both of us care so much about. just a week ago senator baldwin and i introduced a national caregivers act. and the reason that we did so is exactly to answer some of the concerns that you've just raised. we are spending $225 billion on caring for people with alzheimer's. the majority of that is uncompensated care that exhausted family members are giving. frequently, an elderly spouse. and we don't have a strategy for trying to ensure that caregivers have the support that they need. whether it's respite care, home health care, whether it's support groups, and that's what our bill is aimed at. it is modeled on the national alzheimer's plan act, which i authored with former senator evan bayh. and that has produced a national strategy for alzheimer's that's brought together all the federal agencies. and its most important recommendation has to do with the appropriate level of funding for bio

dick durbin talked about it being a area strategic necessity.what's the problem and bring more colleagues on more quickly? what is the barrier? what i get distracted from? >> there are a lot of serious diseases in this country and it took a while to get a focus on cancer research, which we spend $5.4 billion on a year and it's paid dividends. i think we need to look at the successful investments in cancer research, and hiv/aids, in cardiovascular disease. there's not an awareness of the prevalence of alzheimer's. that's partially because people used to die earlier and also remember when it was people would say she's just got see now. remember that term? and people didn't realize that alzheimer's was a disease. they thought it was just something that happened as people got older. so that's why i commend all the advocacy groups can the alzheimer's association and in many alzheimer's u.s. against alzheimer's come alzheimer's cures, and all these groups. because raising public awareness is absolutely critical to getting the kind of support that we n

dick durbin, there again, liberal democrat from illinois and i'm not. but we have guys like this, cory booker and others who are willing to join in this effort. we recognize something that i explained in the book, which is when we follow the constitution's directive on federalism and the idea that, you know, not every power is given to the federal government. in fact most of the power is supposed to remain at the state and local level and we follow this. more americans actually get more of what they want in government and less of what they don't in government. this does create some great alliances among people at opposite ends of the political spectrum. when they realize that everybody can get more of the kind of government that they want if they respect the constitution. do we

i mean, there are at least some quiet discussions about a dick durbin, should he now challenge chucke next democratic leader in the senate. i think they have enough democrats to sustain the veto -- >> i would not -- >> barack obama for all his strengths does not know how to find common ground with his critics, and he does not understand, even his own caucus -- >> -- schumer supporting, that's the question. >> you don't say that chuck schumer is in line with what the president has done. essentially that's what he has done. >> but hillary clinton and bernie sanders both support this deal. the big question to see whether they go public to try to help the president or stay on the sidelines because it is going to cause a divide in the party. bernie sanders last night we know he's getting momentum. he was out in seattle last night. but his own event he was there to speak about social security. you see right here, black lives matter protesters forcing bernie sanders to leave the stage. what does it say about sanders or more importantly what does it say about how this prochlt is determined t

you.wanted to talk to this arlen specter, dick durbin deal. [indiscernible] >> hey, thank you, -- mr. thompson: thank you very much. if i was you, i would be asking, who is this guy question mark i want to talk to you. i was in an airport recently. a lady came up to me and said, we just love your tv show. i can't tell you what big fans we are. hello to my say husband. i said, certainly. i went over there. she said, honey, honey. you will never believe it. dr. fill!

ladies and gentlemen, the assistant democratic leader of the united states senate, the honorable dick durbinat honor. you may have heard that we had a little snowstorm in chicago over the weekend. more than 19 inches of snow. more snow in 24 hours than we usually see in two or three months. and yesterday morning while the snow was still falling, the winds were blowing at 45 miles an hour. and someone asked, do you think louis knox and casey selski are going to make it here to washington? and i said not even an historic blizzard is going to stop the devil's brigade from being here. i honor them today, sons of illinois and group being honored. [ applause ] louis there in the front row had a tough time getting into the service. the day after pearl harbor he volunteered, went down to the post office to volunteer to serve in the marines and they took a look at the young man and said, sorry, with that overbite you'll never be able to serve. six months later he was in the army and became part of this elite fighting force. thank you for being here with us today.

there are people like nancy pelosi and dick durbin who have strong records on these matters. anyone, markedly in this category. anybody covering politics would recognize the default lines of this political argument area it is not new. difference of opinion that president obama and senator schumer have had dating back to 2003. that all said, that is why i would describe this as an announcement that was not particularly surprising to anybody here is the white house. even if it was disappointing. it does not change our confidence we will be up to mobilize substantial majority of democrats in both the house and senate in support of the deal. if necessary to sustain -- >> it has been a year since the police shooting of michael brown and ferguson, missouri. a conversation about holy shooting of unarmed black man. here's a brief look. >> i do not think we wanted the police to entirely go away or disappear but a lot of people want of the police to be more accountable. that does something positive. i have been trying to think of things that been positive. one of the positive as of lat

dick durbin feels like he has votes in the senate. tammy baldwin is going to vote for the deal.my baldwin is a wisconsin senator and she's someone people are looking to as future of the democratic party. kirsten gillibrand, presidential contender in the future. voting for the deal. harry reid is retiring. he'll ultimately vote for the deal. i think schumer does have problems with the deal but he has a lot of donors with problems with the deal. it didn't surprise me that schumer did it. i won't think it will make a difference. with the obama insult to anyone who stands against this deal, it is interesting given the great feeling everybody had after the trade promotion authority was passed with bipartisan push with boehner and mcconnell. that didn't last long. obama goes right from that kumbaya moment on trade to filleting republicans on iran. it was obamalike. >> okay. now, we have kind of touched on this but let me explain again. congress does not have to approve this deal. they certainly don't have to approve it by super majority by treaty. what happens is let's say congress an

some inside on the inside and out, the former speech writer had a tweet up essentially saying that dick durbinit up there becomes the league whip for peace on earth. a huge jab at schumer. schumer becoming majority leader or continues as minority leader won't obtain the title until obama is gone and works with the next president. do you think it has a lasting effect on schumer's relationship with obama and the standing within the democratic party and might not like this public act of being disloyal? >> well i think people will remember it. you know? is it kind of front of mind for years to come? probably not. although with the exception of if it's a really close vote and the deal goes down and schumer is one of a small handful of members, who are considered potentially decisive that would be very different story. and my -- this is why i do think there's something to the therety that schumer coming out now suggests he thinks that the outcome is baked one way or the other. i think that's what people are thinking. that they understand schumer doesn't want to be known as having tipped the vote. >>

>> i have joined with dick durbin, senator leahy, in a step before that. i don't think you need a constitutional amendment. i think there are things we can do legislatively to address that. there has to be some kind of a halt done that deny people voting rights. i want to take it a step further. for me, right now, i look at the voting rights act, before the ink was dried, it was sweat, to expand voting access to americans. country since the 1970s is a great restriction of voters rights in this country. in 1976, about 1.7 million voting rights because of previous convictions. they had felony disenfranchisement. since the 1970s, we had this incredible explosion of massive incarceration in this country, and now we have come to a point in america, in 2010, we had 5.85 million americans who have lost their voting rights because of previous convictions, they paid their debt to society, many of them nonviolent criminals, if that was a state, it would be 20th biggest state in our >> and we have seen the rise of the black lives matter movement over the last year as
