among the republicans involved, kelly ayotte, bob corker and lindsey graham. according to graham, it was being filibuster because we don't like the law, that's not a reason to deny the appointment. senator corker reportedly called b.s. on mitch mcconelle who complained he could have brokered a better deal. he took several of his republican colleagues to task to advance the nomination of tom perez to be secretary of labor. >> what i'm saying to my republican colleagues, i don't care what deal you cut, how can you move forward on the nomination when it refuses to comply with a subpoena. >> more now on those student loan rates. they agreed on a deal yesterday to lower the borrowing cost. it will allow undergraduates to borrow at 8.5% this fall. the new plan brings much needed relief. they're not permanent. after the 2015 academic year they'll likely be raised. in the future they'll be determined by stock market. for graduate students the cap will be 9.5%. for parents it will be 10% 5.. >>> lynn cheney descending on the state for her first campaign events yesterda

i believe we can invoke godwin's law on lindsey graham. if you compare anything to hitler and the nazis, you immediately lose the argument. >> that is an internet thing. >> that is an internet thing. i find it overall poetic, perhaps tragically poetic, that edward snowden -- that the intelligence community was created to help us keep pace with russia or stay ahead of russia in the cold war. now edward snowden is trying to change the intelligence community and ends up running to russia for asylum. but look, on balance, compared to that period, compared to 1980 and that period, russia is a much better global citizen now than they were then, dealing with us in term of nuclear nonproliferation, sanctions against iran and north korea. going backwards in terms of our relationship and the olympics would be a horribly bad choice in terms of global politics going forward. you know what? if the shoe was on the other foot, if a russian intelligence agent ran to america, we would completely take care of that person, and they know it and we know it. so

graham said it should be on the stable. the u.s. olympic committee released a statement saying boycotts don't work, and while we acknowledge the seriousness, we strongly oppose the notion of a boycott while jay carney had a more, let's say pessimistic response. >> you guys aren't jumping to a superficial headline, are you f if. >>> senator, welcome. in terms of putting this on the table, a boycott of the olympics, your own friend john mccain, disagrees, and listen to what john boehner said this morning. >> i love senator graham, we've been close friends for 20 years, but i think he's dead wrong. why would we want to punish u.s. 59 legalities, who have been training for three years, to compete in the olympics over a traitor who can't find a place to call home form. >> your response, sir? >> john is my good friend, but it's not just about snowden. russia has aligned are to keep assad in power. here's my question to the congress and to the president? what does russia have to do before we push back? do i want to cancel the olym

thank you senator schumer and senator graham and our group that worked together on this bill. this is incredibly important as senator graham said putting in some guidelines are one thing but we never know what the next president will do in that wet the next administration will do and that is why we devoted to get this into love. i was a prosecutor for eight years. my dad was a journalist having interviewed everyone in his life from mike ditka to ronald reagan to ginger rogers and then my daughter who just turned 18 was the editor of her little cross sabers newspaper at her high school supervising in a newspaper journalism writing staff of 24, something some of you may and the i think. and in any case i have that part of my family life and my work as a prosecutor where i always understood the need for strong law enforcement and good investigations. what i like about this bill is that i think it strikes that balance of making sure that journalists are able to do their job and it really changes the presumption over what we have seen in the last year, to make sure that when the ju

what happened to terrence graham? he got sentenced. he didn't get sentenced to life without parole that was now unconstitutional. if you actually read what happened at the sentencing hearing for terrence graham, there was, again, dueling psychologists with a scrist and the state sigh kentucky scrist made the claim he was suffering from anti-personality disorder and in his view, no one recovers from anti-personality disorder and therefore he should be put away virtually for the rest of his life and the defense expert is said there has already been demonstration of his increased maturity and that i do think that he will mature out of it and the brain science supported the defense side of that. he got 25 years. that was the sentence. so even though i very much agree as a constitutional matter, we can draw those bright lines at the group level, in the end, just by necessity the law has to deal with individuals. >> would you agree that the judicial system is not really the best place for us to be determining whether or not the science behin

lyndsay graham says this stuff because he looks as patriotic as his stupid flag pin lapel. he can say that because he knows it is not going to happen and then lyndsay graham has more sway or just as much sway on the olympics as lyndsay lohan. he can say whatever he wants. it does -- doesn't matter. >> putin is enjoying all of the attention. >>> from films to fans he would leave his seat if he got enough tweets. during the allstar game on tuesday some guy ran on to the diamond and turns out he had a very good reason. last weekend he post owed twitter that he would storm the field if he got 1,000 retweets. spoiler alert, take a look. >> dillon later posted a text of his mom threatening to, quote, kick his ass -- can you say ass? >> you just said it twice. >> his -- tweeting i should be upset, but from dillon's perspective, this is the best day of his life. >> loser. >> hold on to that one, dillon. meanwhile, it inspired cool dog to train for a crash of his own. >> you had an interesting take on this. you were kind of offended. >> the first thing to remember is that twitter is

you heard what lindsay graham is saying. >> yeah, i'm puzzled by what graham is, senator graham is sayingn policy. he says he doesn't want to boycott the olympics, but he wants to get their attention. well, you know you're not going to get their attention by an empty threat, which is a bluff. remember what the russians did, which caused jimmy carter to boycott the olympics in 1980. they invaded afghanistan. that seems like a proportionate response. here we are dealing with a complicated case, where this guy has been exposed, has exposed the fact that the u.s. is engaging in espionage activities against the russians, against the chinese. the russians therefore have every incentive to make this difficult. frankly we would do the same if it were the tables were turned. and president putin has actually been pretty responsible on the issue. he has kept saying, look, our relations with the united states are more important than this guy. i'm not going to let him derail it. so the whole idea that the russians are playing some kind of nasty game, i don't know, maybe i'm seeing a different set of n

septemberor graham is dead wrong and he asked why the u.s. would want to punish athletes who trained for years over a traitor who can't find a home. in other words, pulling them out of the olympics elevates now den on a level he doesn't deserve. >> it is not snowden alone. it is russia aligning with iran and allowing ah sawed stay in power and hurt the interest in the middle east. how do you get people's attention? what are we doing to putin? i don't want to punish the athletes, but i don't want to reward putin. would you go to the olympics games in iran? >> i would not. >> would you take an invitation to putin to sit in the box of the olympics games. >> by our athletes going to compete we are beholden to him? >> no, i think you are elevating and giving him a propaganda. look what hitler did in 1936. he hosted the olympics games and reading the reports out of nazi germany. they sold to the world something they are not. the olympics games are used sell themselves. should we be a part of selling russia for putin? and empower him next winter if

you have senator john mccain, lindsay graham, kelly ayotte. they're being drums loudly for military intervention in syria. 70% of the american people say don't even think about it, mr. president. are they representing the republican party here? what is the deal? >> tional security is obviously someing that i got to tell you and i've said it before, it n a ace as chairman of the party that we dive into a lot but the common thread is that the president isn't leading. his yes isn't yes and his no isn't no. he's not decisive on these issues. i got to tell you, when he gets pushed into military intervention or at least weapons or support by a comment made by bill clinton -- >> bill clinton said he would be a wuss if he didn't. in the next few days the president came out and said now we're going to dabble into syria. dabbling into anything is problematic. >> one would think that the republican party and conservatives would stand up for conservative values. >> we're a party of freedom. we've always been a party of aa strong national defense. we've al

will gregory want to see the graham cracker-eater treated well? or does he want him treated badly?d to want the different puppet treated badly. that is amazing. so he went with his bias, in a way. and so did nate and 87% of the other babies tested. from this, wynn concludes that infants prefer those who harm others who are unlike them. >> bloom: what could be more arbitrary than whether you like graham crackers or cheerios? >> stahl: nothing. >> bloom: nothing. but it matters. it matters to the young baby. we are predisposed to break the world up into different human groups based on the most subtle and seemingly irrelevant cues. and that, to some extent, is the dark side of morality. >> stahl: we want the other to be punished? >> wynn: in our studies, babies seem as if they do want the other to be punished. >> stahl: we used to think that we're taught to hate. i think there was a song like that. this is suggesting that we're not taught to hate, we're born to hate. >> wynn: i think that we are built to, you know, at the drop of a hat, create "us and them." >> bloom: and that... and

senator lindsey graham.thinks the united states should consider boycotting the 2014 olympics in russia. graham, you see, he is all twisted up about edward snowden. >> i love the olympics but i hate what the russian government is doing throughout the world. i don't know if putting the olympics on the table is the right answer. but i do know this. what we're doing is not working. >> the senator would like to boycott the winter olympics for a little show boating? graham wasn't finished. no truly unreasonable scheme is complete without a reference to hitler. >> if you could go back in time, would you have allowed aid. on hitler to host the olympics in germany? >> comparing snowden's asylum to the ground work for genocide isn't just causing graham to lose his friends on the bob sled team. the senator's comments were soakering enough for speaker bainer to become the voice of reason. >> i think he is dead wrong. why would we want to punish u.s. athletes who have been training for three years to compete in the olymp

e suggestion and quickly shot down by house speaker john baker. >> i love senator graham we have beenlose friends for 20 years be he is dead wrong why would we want to punish u.s. athletes who have been trading for three years to compete in the olympics over a trader who cannot find a place to call home? lou: well said. reapplied you. by the way democrat senator also rejected the suggestion and so did the top rsian lawmaker you don't see that consensus every day and senator graham is the beneficiary of that all. he is the first dunce cap of the evening. congratulations for you have to be trembling with the honor. next up senator john mccain who has been sounding like the democrats have a best friend and ally and collaborator. here is the president giving a shot out with richard coeur dray a the new director of the said consumer protection financial bureau. >> yesterday richard was officially confirmed i want to tnk senators from both parties including senator reid, senator mcconnell, as senator mccain for coming together to help to get him confirmed. lou: that's right. senator mccain

yesterday, lindsey graham and chuck schumer both seemed -- lindsey graham is touting this idea of boy counting -- the u.s. boycotting the olympics but he threw in maybe the u.s. subbing russia for the g-20 in september. chuck schumer didn't get quite there with boycotting but he said he understood lindsey graham's frustration with russia. could you support some sort of public, you know, symbolic punishment of russia over snowden? >> well, it's not just about snowed be. i mean, i absolutely think the united states needs to start playing hard ball with the russians. because what we're seeing is, along with their obstinance on snowden, a real quick degradation of splcivil societyd the way they treat political dissentients. this place is turning into something that looks exactly like cold war russia. and, you know, we have to let them know that's not okay. i don't know that the olympics is necessarily the right place. we clearly need to send some signals to them. also they need to stop this slide essentially back into the kind of politics we got used to over the course the cold war. >> do

that was south carolina senator lindsey graham.ng in stephanie and lois and contributing writing for roll call, anthony gonzalez. gee, let me start with you. if you can go back in time would you allow adolf hitler to host the olympics? i guess we know where lindsey graham stands. >> he is frustrated. somebody like that hurts the athletes and it doesn't advance diplomatic missions but it does indicate how frustrated not just lindsey graham, your interview with senator schumer. equal frustration. >> i thought that was interesting, lois. like they said, you know what? maybe because this isn't putin's hometown. this whole olympics. it's basically a cash grab for sochi. you talk how much money this is costing. this would a real threat to the economic of russia. >> he is pulling a grenade right now. no one hat stomach for that just getting it in and everyone is talking about it and it's not the invasion of afghanistan. but, you know, there will get putin's attention. >> i want to move on, nathan. you love to talk senate politics and so d

not all republicans agree certainly john boehner does not. >> i love senator graham.een close friends for 20 years. but i think he's dead wrong. why would we want to punish u.s. athletes who have been training for three years to compete in the olympics over a traitor who can't find a place to call home? >> bill: not all republicans jumping on board. i think boehner is absolutely right in this case. think about it. the last time we boycotted the olympics was jimmy carter who announced that we were going to boycott the olympics because russia had invaded afghanistan. okay. now, do we really want to put edward snowden who by the way was praised yesterday by republicans and democrats in the house judiciary committee for leaking this information for letting us know what nsa was up to. do we really think that edward snowden was whistle blowing is on the same par as serious an offense as russia invading another country? and for that, we're going to boycott the olympics? you know, i know lindsey graham is afraid he's going to have a tea party challenger in his primary. i know

lindsey graham is being called by tea party challenger -- graham is a community organizer for the muslimddle east and is not concerned about have your -- >> i think with mccain he likes this impulsiveness, he likes his ego being stroked. but the sequester cuts, half of them come out of the defense budget. idea when the sequester was conceived was that it was supposed to be so terrible for both the right and the left that it could never be allowed to become law. then the compromise was struck, was no, nobody can come up with anything they like better so we'll let it become law and that's acceptable to a lot of people on the hill but it is really unacceptable to john mccain. both he and the president would really like to come up with a deal to replace the sequester and it's given him an incentive to cozy up to democrats. and work with some people like lindsey graham. >> which "cozy up," we mean talk to. i think we allow ourselves to be hijacked by this narrative that you are cozying up to narratives if you are talking to the white house about matters of national import. >> it is not just t

you have a bill put together by john mccain and lindsey graham and the u.s.mber of commerce and you're going to blame democrats? >> yeah. if chuck schumer does not accept the solution from the house, if he says that 80% is not good enough for him because he wants 100%, then it is his fault. i mean, think about this where we have come from. the republican party is actually working on immigration reform, it's working on legalization legislation, it's working on ways to deal with the young kids that are here in the united states that came here through no fault of their own. if that is not good enough for chuck schumer and the democratic party, then that means that they really don't want a solution, that all they want is the rhetoric to talk about immigration reform. you also need to remember, the president has solid majorities in the house and the senate when he was elected. he promised the hispanic people that that was the first issue he was going to work on, was immigration reform, and he did not do it. now conveniently after his re-election he's saying that i

republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina says the u.s.d consider boycotting next february's winter olympics in sochi, russia. >> i love the olympics, but i hate what the russian government is doing throughout the world. i don't know if putting the olympics on the table is the right answer, but i do know this, what we're doing is not working. >> but senator graham is getting pushback from a powerful republican colleague. >> i love senator graham. we've been close friends for 20 years, but i think he's dead wrong. listen, why would we want to punish u.s. athletes who have been training for three years to compete in the olympics over a traitor who can't find a place to call home? >> in 1980, the u.s. led a 65-nation boycott of the moscow olympics in protest of the soviet invasion of afghanistan. the soviet union then boycotted the los angeles summer games in 1984. as for snowden, his russian lawyer says he now could leave the moscow airport where he's been stranded for more than three weeks. >>> well, coming up, our "news nation" gut check.

trying to graham is save the republican party. he does not see a future with emigrant exchanging.ou have to do something -- with demographics changing. you have to do something. >> the president made a major speech on climate change. there is a piece in "rolling stone" suggesting miami will be underwater in a few years. will anyone take climate change seriously in this government? , wenless the chinese do could shut down the economy, put would in our cars, and it will not make a difference. that is why it is insane. the chinese and the indians are coal. a plant fired by all we are doing and dismantling industry and exporting it to asia. >> mark, on coal. >> what is that, frank? coal. [laughter] the president will try to do everything he can buy executive action. he will not get anything by congress. 32 degree temperatures might acknowledge there is a problem. >> you have to keep working on the technology, new technology. >> he will have trouble with the fossil fuel industry the which is act up by the republicans as well, but epa will be front and center. >> why would you do it if

at the request of president obama, mccain and graham plan to visit egypt next week. to meet with military leaders who oppose mohamed morsi. the message, it's important to move forward with new elections and a return to civilian rule. >>> well, congress begins its summer recess this weekend. today president obama travels to capitol hill. he'll meet with democratic lawmakers the day after his latest offer of grand bargain to cut the deficit was dismissed by republicans. susan mcginnis has more. >>> president obama heads to capitol hill today to make sure democrats are on the sage page before battling it out with republicans next month. >> as washington heads toward another budget debate, the stakes couldn't be hired. >> when congressinonal members return after labor day, they face a big problem. they're among a group of republicans who say they won't approve any new budget if it includes one thing. >> we all know that the government's going to get funded. the only question is whether the government gets funded with obama care or without it. >> lawmakers face another de

. >> bill: lindsey graham said the same thing.n't just democrats telling republicans if they want to win the white house, they'll have to do something about it. >> there was an rnc report after the election that outlined that. it is well-known in the party that they can't keep going down this path with hispanics. it is just -- debatable as to whether they've all accepted that immigration reform is the way to kind of win that argument. >> bill: and whether they -- and also the issue -- seems to be that house republicans really don't care so much about winning back the white house as holding on to the house. >> right. >> bill: so if we talk about the possible political repercussion of not doing anything about student loans not doing anything about immigration reform, there's one other constituency and that the lgbt community which got a big boost last week from the supreme court on same-sex marriage. didn't make it the law of the land in all 50 states but they got rid of defense of marriage act. let same-sex marriages resume in cali

the presiding officer: the senator from graham. mr. graham: i thank the chairman of the foreign relations committee. i'd like to associate myself with the remarks of the senator from florida. now is the time to be creative with our assistance to egypt to try to change things while there's still hope of things changing in a positive direction. i certainly understand why should we be selling f-16's to people who behave this way? the administration has put on hold the four f-16's that were due to be delivered to egypt, trying to find out what's going to happen next. that makes sense to me. but why are we selling weapons to egypt? because if we don't, someone else will. i want them to have f-16's and come to our pilot training bases. i want egyptian officers to come to our military training academies. i want a relationship with the egyptian military that can be beneficial to our national security interest. i want the people who build f-16's in america to get the business from egypt, to get some of our money back. if they buy migs or mirage

. >> u.s.a., yes, behind guysy graham, no. hey, hey -- we're tired of him being so wishy washy and sitting on the fence. he'll do one thing that is good and then four or five that is very displeasing. >> neil: the senate immigration bill through and now tea partyers are through with him and they let senator lindsey graham know it yesterday. on the phone with us, one of the protesters. we put in a call to the senator. he was not available. we hope soon he will be. ron, what was your message for the senator and those republicans who voted for this immigration bill? >> thanks for having me. our message was that the senator graham has just disappointed his constituents in south carolina. we wanted a full-time conservative senator and he has not done that for us. as one of the other speakers said, sometimes he is saying the right things and issues like immigration and the nsa and we just cannot support that kind of vote. >> neil: do you think he should be looking at a party challenge, primary challenge? >> i would love to see the s

lindsey graham. i guess i'm curious.ou expect to happen if it gets through the house, if we have immigration reform this year, what do you expect that to mean sort of -- we've seen two straight elections republicans have not cracked 30% or barely cracked 30% among hispanics. do you expect that to be 35%, 40%. how big a problem does this solve in your mind? >> well, we'd like to see a path to citizenship. that would be ideally what we'd like to see and between employer/employee and so we can get the economy back on track here. now, what's interesting is that a poll just came out a little bit ago and the question was, you know, would you support like marco rubio or ryan and the numbers that they got were almost similar to romney but when they changed the question, they asked him, what if i told you that marco rubio was instrumental in passing -- in reform that led a path to citizenship. it went up to 54% were more likely to -- >> you're talking about hispanic voters. >> yeah, so we have this the first poll you were talking

john mccain and lindsay graham don't have juice any more.e are just rolling their eyes at him for saying we should boycott the olympics in russia. john mccain although he has a lot of influence, he doesn't have a lot of juice. if you went to the republican convention in 2012, all of the buzz was around these insurgent types. and they're much less interventionist. this is the first case, they want to have a 46-year-old who has a little bit of a spring in her step and some name recognition to be able to get on the floor and make these fights. >> this is a proxy board that has literally nothing to do with mike enzi. i think primary fights are good, people should have contested elections. i agree, everyone go run for office. here's rand paul firing back the first shot on this, he says when i heard liz cheney was rung for senate. i wondered if she was running in her own state of virginia, which makes me think he understands precisely what this is about. this is a proxy war against his people. >> we've been talking to some people off the record ab

senators, lindsey graham and john mccain could come to egypt as early as next week.ey get here, look for them to push this military-backed interim government, to rein in what they call excessive use of force for protesters, look for them to push it through to both sides and move through a an established government. it's a tall order for senators mccain and graham, but they're going to give it a shot next week, michaela. >> given that catherine ashton had a meeting with mr. morsi, is there any indication where he was located. we know that she was even kept in the dark about where he was. >> reporter: yeah, she was taken there in a military helicopter, all we know based on information from diplomats and other sources, he's being kept in a military installation. obviously, the military here, the most powerful institution in the country. they have hundreds of facilities throughout the country. he could be anywhere in those facilities. >> reza sayah, the latest from egypt. thank you for that. >>> we're learning more about the actions of the driver in that deadly train cra

what do you say to this with mccain and graham next to karzai?hat mccain and graham are there on this holiday to support the troops. i did a piece for msnbc.com saying we have 60,000 troops still in afghanistan. it's less than 1% of america that serveses in the military. but the 60,000 troops there now, i think they feel forgotten. they feel like people are just onto different things. we have lost 70 troops just this year in afghanistan. i disagree with mccain. a lot of times his views on syria and china get a no-fly zone. the fact he's in afghanistan is critically important. >> we'll let you get out of there so you can enjoy the shorts you claim you have on. >> i do. >> great to see you. thank you, sir. >> thank you, thomas. >> we want to turn the conversation back to policy and what's taking place off celebrating the holiday. it's been a sleepy week in politics with the obama administration saying they will delay a major component of the health care law and the fierce battle over texas's abortion bill. joining me now republican strategist susan

the tone was harsher from senator lindsey graham. who said america should consider boycotting the olympic games next year. >> i love the olympics, but i don't like what the russian government is doing. >> that suggestion was rebuked by many people, including the u.s. olympic committee spokesman who tweeted, boycotts don't work in the '80s. simon marks let me hear from him, i work for jimmy carter as a speech writer. i don't think i liked it, i didn't say at the time i was loyal. i think once you start skipping owe limb bigs because you don't like politics you ruin the olympic games. >> i think there's truth to that, chris. i would say, nobody thinks realistically the united states is going to boycott the olympics. the mere threat to do it, the mere suggestion that it might become a debating point in the united states does hit vladimir putin in a place where it hurts. he has poured millions of dollars into that city in southern russia to get things ready for the olympic games. it was a city that needed millions of dollars in developme
