here is a sample of his reaction. >> jane fonda, like jane fonda.ll fire missile on jane fonda. as much as i mate to say it, that that applies to jane fonda. a debate and discussion that we would have killed jane fonda. we should not talk about drones killing jane fonda. >> nia-malika, for want of reputation, does his high per h help or hinder senator paul? >> i think ultimately it helps him because you have people talking. you have people raising questions about the transparency or lack thereof around the drone program. robert gibbs, of course, saying that when he got on, he was told not to acknowledge that the drone program actually existed. so i think he did his cause a real favor, and he very much is i think linking to a lot of the conversation that you saw going on among ron paul supporters as he was running for president in 2012. and conservative republicans really see rand paul, i talked to some of them today, they see him as the second coming of ronald reagan. a real movement conservative. somebody who can galvanize the right and really arct

. >> no one will ever forget jane fonda. >> the use of jane fonda's name does evoke certain memoriesith me. >> that's one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone hell fire missile on jane fonda. >> to somehow allege or infer that the president of the united states is going to kill somebody like jane fonda is, frankly, ridiculous. >> there are some limits to filibustering, and i'm going to have to go take care of one of those in a few minutes here. ♪ i really want to know ♪ who are you, who, who, who ♪ who are you, who, who, who >> it is a very busy day in washington. john brennan, as i just said, has been confirmed to be the next head of the cia. the final vote was 63-34. just moments ago, this after the nomination sparked a volatile political battle. it began with senator rand paul staging an old-style filibuster, talk until you drop, delaying the brennan vote. mr. paul ranted and railed against the use of lethal drone strikes starting late wednesday morning. >> i will speak until i can no longer speak. i will speak as long as it takes until

quite there, saying that a hellfire missile will not be dropping on jane fonda.ne fonda will like her name associated with that sentence. >> there's a lot of history there, during the nearly 13 hours rand paul had referenced jane fonda from back in the war protest days when she was known as who might have been viewed as a risk to the government. kind of put yourself in that mindset, and john mccain, of course, who was a p.o.w. during the vietnam war has never been particularly happy about the jane fonda protest of decades ago, found that a ridiculous assertion. ridiculous was his word. there's a lot of history here. john mccain, lindsey graham have butted heads with rand paul on many issues, and often it comes down to a difference in belief of what the senate is supposed to be about. we have seen time and time again, thomas, where rand paul would be the one senator who would object holding up a piece of legislation. mccain in particular has felt that has hurt the senate's ability to function. there's a lot of history here, and obviously, you know, the mccain and

you seemed really happy, you and jane fonda together?ere for a long time. >> and what went wrong? >> it's hard to tell. obviously it was a combination of things. >> do you wish that the marriage had managed to survive? >> well, i didn't. i mean, there's no point in sitting around and crying about spilt milk. got to move on. >> moving on is turner's mantra. it also put a hex on his marriage to jane fonda. >> it's impossible to really be with ted the way he needs someone to be with him and have any kind of life of your own. >> he's perfectly aware of it. he said to me, he said, "i hate being alone." >> he's aware that it makes it hard for the person who's, you know, trying to love him. >> but what's interesting is, the moment he's in one place for a couple of days, he's got to move on to somewhere else. >> yeah, when you're chased by demons, you have to keep moving. >> though they've been divorced for eight years, they're in some way inseparable. >> you know, if-- if ted really needed me, i would be there in a blue minute. >> yeah, i think

. >> no one will ever forget jane fonda swiveling around in north vietnamese armored guns, and it was despicable. it is one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone hellfire missile on jane fonda? are you going to drop a drone hellfire missile on those at kent state? >> brown: several other republicans and one democrat, ron wyden, joined paul. and minority leader mitch mcconnell offered his support last night after the filibuster ended and again this morning. >> and the administration should just answer the question. there's no reason we cannot get this question answered today, and we should get this question answered today. >> brown: but the morning also revealed a division in republican ranks. arizona senator john mccain, who was a prisoner of war in vietnam, scoffed at paul's claim that someone like jane fonda would ever have been targeted. >> to somehow allege or infer that the president of the united states is going to kill somebody like jane fonda or somebody who disagrees with the policies is a stretch of imagination which is, frankly, ri

who could forget jane fonda around in north vietnamese. you are going to drop a drone hellfire missile on jane fonda. >> jon: no. of course not. however much you would have disagreed with her position i think we can all agree she's already paid a hellish price. [ laughter ] i can't say i agree with rand paul about everything but as issues go drone oversight is one worth kicking up dust for. they are prevengt the senate on getting anything done on john brennan's confirmation it's really just a reason to not get anything done on the sequester where you rarely see things going on so rarely outside of a nascar race. laugh lat the sequester say battle over government funding priorities to. give you an example of how far apart the two parties are we need only look to the state of the union address. >> i propose working with states to make high quality preschool available to every single child in america. [cheers and applause] >> jon: ha-zaaa! high quality preschool for every single child. married children, of course, too busy raising their own f

> i'm not a great fan of jane fonda. >> are you going to drop a drone, hell fire missile on jane fonda >> you've been here awhile. let me give you some free advice, keep some water nearby. >> i wanted to give some small sampling of the reaction on twitter. stand today with senator rand paul. stand with rand. stand with rand. stand with rand. i think the technical term for what the twitter verse is doing right now is called blowing up. >> let me just begin by quoting a modern day poet, his name is whiz khalifa. the godfather takes me back to another modern day pote by the name of jay-z. >> there are some limits to filibuster and i'm going to have to go take care of one of those in a few minutes here. [ laughter ] >> john: that's rand paul making a joke about urinating that's marco rubio talking about some rappers he would like to have arrested if they showed up and ted cruz talking about ayn rand who would hate ted cruz if she were still alive. it is tough to admit in this case though, i too, very much stand with rand. joining me now to discuss this and so much more are former senior ad

and, you know, and then there was a stupid example of a drone being used against jane fonda. mean, i don't think this is befitting the senate floor. having said that, clearly senator paul got the answer in writing signed by the attorney general which is very definitive. >> yeah. here is your colleague, john mccain. he took to the senate floor today and attacked senator paul saying he's giving credence to people who fear the government -- that fear that the government is out to get them, sort of the black helicopter crowd. let's watch your other colleague, john mccain, in action here. >> to somehow allege or infer that the president of the united states sf going to kill somebody like jane fonda or someone who disagrees with the policies is a stretch of imagination which is, frankly, ridiculous. we've done a, i think, a disservice to a lot of americans by making them believe that somehow they're in danger from their government. they're not. >> do you think, senator, that technology, and you and i have grown up with the dynamic, almost unblofable exponential growth in what manki

and i don't think, as much as i hate to say it, that that applies to jane fonda.ghter] >> well, thank you. that's a very good question. it's been a very lively debate. senator paul's got a lot of passion, and that's a great thing. he can have all the passion he wants. this is an important issue, we should be talking about it. i welcome a reasoned discussion. but to my republican colleagues, i don't remember any of you coming down here suggesting that president bush was going to kill anybody with a drone, you know? i don't even remember the harshest critics of president bush on the democratic side, they had a drone program back then. so what is it? all of a sudden that this drone program has gotten every republican so spun up? what are we up to here? i think president obama has, in many ways he's been a very failed president. i think his executive orders overstep. i think he's intruded into the congressional lean ma by executive order. i think obama carries a nightmare. there's a thousand examples of a fail presidency. but there's also some agreement. people are as

-- an all-out talk till you drop protest speech on the senate floor, with cameo references to jane fonda's anti-war days. >> that's one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone, hellfire missile, on jane fonda? >> reporter: and a senator talking for almost 13 hours straight without sitting or even taking a bathroom break. his only real sustenance, a candy bar and some peanuts. he spoke to block a vote on the president's nominee for cia director, saying he first wanted an answer to a simple question. can the president use a drone strike to kill an unarmed american citizen on u.s. soil? >> we'll take a telegram. we'll even take a tweet. >> reporter: the president's power to order drone strikes has so few limits, the administration refused to directly answer, earning the tea party senator some unlikely allies, even comedian jon stewart. >> he's using the filibuster the way it's meant to be used. >> reporter: the talkathon stopped only when nature finally called. >> i've discovered that there are some limits to filibustering and i'm going to have to go t

i'm not a great fan of jane fonda's, as you probably know, piers, but the fact -- and she might have even given aid and comfort to the enemy in the view of some. but the fact is, to think that the united states would ever contemplate killing jane fonda with a drone if we had the capability is again, i mean, it's not the world of reality that we are living in. but there are threats. suppose there's another airplane headed for the united states capital, such as the one that crashed in pennsylvania. i can assure you that -- and i'm confident that we have the capability if necessary, the president, to shoot the plane down. there may be innocent americans on that plane. so it's -- to me, here we have the north koreans testing nuclear weapons, threatening to attack the united states of america. iran, the centrifuges continue to spin. 80,000 people killed now at least or 70,000 in syria. the whole middle east in a state of near chaos in many areas. and frankly, my highest priority is not my concern that they may kill an american with a hellfire missile in a cafe in the united states of amer

and i don't think, as much as i hate to say it, that that applies to jane fonda. mr.am: well, thank you. that was a very good question. this has been a very lively debate. senator paul has a lot of passion. that's a great thing. this is an important issue. we should be talking about it. i welcome a reasoned discussion. but to my republican colleagues, i don't remember any of you coming down here suggesting that president bush was going to kill anybody with a drone. you? -- you know, i don't evenremembf president bush on the other side. they had a drone program back then. all of a sudden this drone program has gotten every republican so spun up. what are we up to here? i think president obama has -- in many ways he has been a very failed president. i think his executive orders overstep. i think he has intruded into the congressional arena by executive order. there is a failed presidency. but there's also some agreement. people are astonished that president obama, senator mccain, is doing many of the things that president bush did. i'm not astonished. i congratulate him

jane fonda never said anything as revolutionary as grover norquist.anted her government to stop doing something, wanted the government to stop wasting american lives and vietnamese lives in an unjust war we never should have entered and eventually surrendered. vietnam protesters wanted the government to stop doing something. grover norquist wants his government to stop. he wants government to stop. he wants to replace the government we have with some undescribed alternative with alternate taxation or no taxation. we have no idea what kind of government grover norquist supports because he hasn't described that. he is not very clear about that. what he is clear about is how much he hates the american government. and i, for one, completely support his right to express that hatred in whatever homicidal terms he chooses on any given day, but think, please, just please think what it would be like if someone else tried to use the words of grover norquist publicly, someone, say, who is not white, someone who did not work for newt gingrich in the congress, som

but that service should not be talking about drone killing jane fonda and people in cafes. it should be all about what authority and what chehecs and balances should ectust in ort er to make it a most effective ability to combat an enemy that we knobe a ill be with us for a long time. >> could i just have two minutes to wrap up. to my fellow citizens, the chance ofhonou bsubng killed bya my fow because you to a tea pary rally or moveon.org rally or any other political rally, orhonou'e be a st chatting on the , quietly at home, by your government, through the use of a drone, is zero. under this as adinistration and future administrations. and if that day ever happened, the president of the united states 0, or whoever ordered such attack, would commit murder and will be tried. i don't worry about that. here's what i worry about. that al qaeda, who has killed 2,958 of us, is going to aansw o the total if we let our guart down. and i will do everything in my power to protect this president, who i disagree with a lot, and future presidents, from having an ill-informed congress t

if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone hell fire missile on jane fondaehow to allege that the united states of america, our government, would drop a drone hell fire missile on jane fonda, that -- that is -- that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about u.s. policy to the realm of the ridiculous. >> so rand paul now let the senate confirm the cia director? stay tuned. and is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship? president obama invites paul ryan to the white house for lunch after dining with senate republicans at the jefferson hotel. swanky too. >> how did the meeting go? >> just fine. great. wonderful. >> i am more optimistic just from a personal standpoint. >> senator bob corker was at that dinner. what sde think? we'll get the details. >>> north korea today threatening a nuclear strike against the u.s. as the u.n. passes its toughest sanctions yet. >> the strength, breadth, and severity of these sanctions will raise the cost to north korea of its elicit nuclear program. taken together, these sanctions will bite and bite hard. >>

we believe what jane fonda believe. >> bob: stop talking about jane fonda. piece you put on tv as i have seen. >> dana: i have the comment about stupidity of a double u-turn. isn't that a circumstance? >> eric: oval. >> greg: we should do the "amazing race." the little people. are you as angry as bob? bob is exploding over there. >> dana: i don't do outrage that well. he does it very well. inside, i was sick. i can't manual, too, the vietnamese they are trying to do reforms. the lack of the press freedoms there is really, really bad. in addition, you have a major problem of -- well, they are competent. i'm sure. the tourism bureau probably raised their hand and said any reality show in america want to come here? the bachelor went to thailand. they were selling it. imagine what the press is like in vietnam today? control the press, how wonder it is. the miles per hour miles per amr the truth. >> bob: this was a communist show put on by a network that should know better. >> greg: coming up, a story so amazing you might freak out. geek i can team asking out kat

but that conversation should not be talking about killing jane fonda and people in cafes. it should be about authority and what check's balances should exist in order to make it a most effective ability to combat an enemy we know will be with us for a long time. >> could i just have two minutes to wrap up, i will. to my fellow citizens, the chance of you being by a drone because you go to a tea party rally or moveon.org rally or any other political rally, or you're chatting on the internet quietly at home, by your government, through the use of a drone, is zero. under this administration and future administrations. and if that day ever happened, the president of the united states or whoever ordered such attack would have committed murder and would be tried. i don't worry about that. here's what i worry about. that al qaeda, who has killed 2,958 of us. is going to add to total if we let our guard down, and i will do everything in my power to protect this president, who i disagree with a lot, and future presidents, from having an ill-informed congress take over the legitimat

i love that he threw in jane fonda. >> let's listen to how he tried to make members of the tea partyouse wondering when he wanted to kill them. >> if we are going to kill combatants, the list will be secret. you won't be able to protest. i'm not for revolution i was at a tea party meeting and i was critical of the president but i'm not a revolutionary please don't kill me. >> i was at a tea party meeting please mr. president, don't kill me. i haven't heard anything sleezier than that on the senate floor. >> you don't go to the war with the army that you might have. you go to war with the army that you have flt he brought attention to the subject there. if there is a classified kill list that includes american citizens if you don't want conspiracy theories to start circulating then publish that list. if the people on that list are dedicated revolutionaries or extremists they are not going to be surprised to find the name on the list. publish the list and let people challenge them. as long as there is a secret list you are going to have people conkukting all sorts of theories. >> there

would have been attacked. >> i'm not a great fan of jane fonda.nterested in putting her on a drone killing either. >> my feet were hurting by the end of the day. you can't leave the floor and you can't sit down. 12 hours is a long time not to go to the restroom. >> reporter: but paul started getting help from colleagues. ironically, an old-fashion filibuster fueled by modern technology. twitter blowing up demanding that other senators come to his assistance. >> let me thank him for his courage and conviction. >> reporter: and senator mcconnell, of course, is somebody who is up for re-election next year and he showed up, wolf, at 11:00 p.m. last night to say that to senator paul but the issue is divided republicans big time. you saw john mccain and lindsey graham lash out at senator paul because they feel he's wrong on this issue. they feel the president is right to make americans safer but this is a very strange bedfellows because lyiberals agree with rad paul. >> a the lot of liberals praisi rand paul. they are saying nice things about him. >> re

i don't think jane fonda is one of john mccain's favorite americans.hat being said, it is true that the 13-hour filibuster had some moments in it which were a little weird. and that's okay. 13 hours, you're entitled to it. >> do you think that libertarian issues are going to cause the gop problems going forward? rand paul, his filibuster obviously touched a nerve for some gop members. >> i don't, don. you and i have talked many times about me wanting and other republicans wanting a big tent party. if you want a big tent party, you got to take a deep breath and make sure that there's room for rand paul and for john mccain. and for ana navarro, on issues like immigration like gay rights, like drone policy, on all sorts of issues. i want to tell you, what we saw this week from the democrats was even more surprising. there are many democrats, who like van, and many in congress, are democrats who agree with rand paul on the drone policy and have their concerns, and yet fairly much all of them remained silent and did not join this filibuster. it's an interes

many people will remember jane fonda swivelling herself around if the north vietnamese artillerys andeefully she was just right at home with the north vietnamese. now i'm not a great fan of jane fonda, i'm really not so interested in putting her on a drone kill list either. >> bret: rand paul, he has talked about a lot of things today. he wolfed down a snickers and jelly beans. it doesn't look like he is going anywhere anytime soon. a.b., what about rand paul? he is obviously raising his profile. he is said to consider a run for president. >> everybody loves a filibuster in washington. the fact he is going through this is impressive. he has done a good job. he is articulated and prepared. at one point he did say it's not so much about filibustering the nomination of john brennan as much as it is as he said, a request to get the president of the united states to say no americans would be killed if they are not engaged in come back. i don't think the effort to codify the drone policy that charles is talking about and this eric holder talked about today saying that the white house is goi

. >> even managed to get jane fonda in the conversation. >> you going to drop a drone missile on jane>> easy, jane. >> starting this weekend, all white house tours are canceled. >> wait. what? >> the tours are being canceled until further notice because of budget cuts. >> prompting people to ask -- >> really, is that the only way to save money? >> tonight, the markets make history. >> yep, the dow rallied and then the following day -- >> the dow hit a second new high. >> yeah, there's a positive way to look at it. >> keep the party hat handy. >> then there's this. >> only took wall street and the financial industry 5 1/2 years to self-repair the gaping wound they self-inflicted. >> speaking of jon stewart, he's headed out on hiatus. zblf off for 12 weeks starting in june. >> don't think he's going to lounge around. >> it's to direct his first movie. >> and not as his friend stephen colbert says taking a job -- >> ruling the country of venezuela. and that's the week that was. >>> the snowquester, it is coming and didn't come at all. >> i kind of liked it because it completely cleared t

that wouldn't include jane fonda. i think that for now this puts this to rest and i would not expect rand paul to continue to oppose the brennan nomination on these grounds. he may vote for brennan. who knows. this argument, what it shows to me is somebody who covered all of this. there is a need for more transparency. people need to know how these decisions are made by the people who are making them. >> you are making the precise point that tom made in this article and multiple times on the show. it's interesting that you bring up his son being killed in yemen. not a lot of americans knew about that. he has taken out and you and i read a lot about they is secrety and a lack of transparency. you talked internationally and we are talking on u.s. soil. you say it was heroic. why? >> the senate refused to really talk about it. even the questioning of john brennan, the initial questioning and hearing was really cloaked in such politics that i was wondering almost what do these people, what are they afraid to say and why a

somehow allege or infer that the president of the united states is going to kill somebody like jane fonda or someone who disagrees with the policies is a stretch of imagination which is frankly ridiculous. ridiculous. >> the first ads for the first in the nation 2016 iowa presidential kau kigss are on the air. the patriot superpac is running the spots against virginia's republican governor bob mcdonnell for raising taxes. >>> a new book about hillary clinton calmed "the secretary" says the secret to her globe trotting stamina is hot peppers. >>> fashion designer vivian westwood is criticizing the first lady for what she wears. she calls michelle obama a nice looking woman but claims her clothes don't suit her. she calls the first lady's clothes, quote, dreadful. how can that be? >>> the white house says despite the extreme -- eggstreme budget cuts from the sequester the kids will not be disappointed. the annual easter egg roll will be held. the people's house will hold the annual extravaganza on april 1st. >>> virginia senator mark warner got a tweet from the boyfriend of his press secret

and i don't think, as much as i hate to say it, that that applies to jane fonda. mr. graham: well, thank you. that was a very good question. this has been a very lively debate. senator paul

jane fonda?o disrespectful. >> easy, jane. >> starting this weekend all white house tours are canceled. >> wait. what? >> the tours are being canceled until further notice because of budget cuts. >> prompting people to ask -- >> really? is that the only way to save money? >> tonight the markets make history. >> yep. the dow rallied and then the following day -- >> the dow hit a second record high. >> nothing short of remarkable. >> a positive way to look at it. >> keep the party hat handy. >> and then there's this. >> it only took wall street and financial industry 5 1/2 years to self-repair the gaping wound they self-inflicted. >> speaking of jon stewart, he's heading out on hiatus. >> we'll be off for 12 weeks starting in june. >> he's not taking the summer off to lounge around. >> to direct his first movie. >> not to take a job -- >> ruling the country of venezuela. >> that's the week that was. >> that hat does look good. >> snazzy. >> this is not common in a murder case but jurors, not lawyer

would we have bombed jane fonda? no.phanie: no, the president -- but drones against war protesters? no. >> but that's what the national guard did. they killed students protesting war. >> stephanie: right. i understand -- trust movie to fill three hours a day, so i understand, filling 13 hours, you have going to say ridiculous things. i say ridiculous things just for three hours. >> right. i should play them all back for you -- >> stephanie: no! i could never run for office. i said what now. richard from chicago. >> caller: hi, like the show. we're flying drones and killing people, now -- >> stephanie: wait. wait. richard to go to chris's argument about again why we don't need to do it here is because we have law enforcement and jurisdiction here -- what do we do in pakistan? >> well, we declare war on them might be a start -- >> stephanie: we should declare war on pakistan. >> caller: we're killing people there, and we did it in vietnam -- >> stephanie: i disagree we should declare war on pakistan -- >> we have killed a

no word on whether the blow back will shelf plans for his upcoming video about jane fonda and a merv griffin sketch. and you do want to live like a homeless person, but don't want bill schulz's job? they are offering feeling like a homeless person for a night. they will even throw in a jar of urine to toss at passersby. and finally, the bill and melinda gates foundation will give a million dollars for a more effective condom. somebody tell bill getting nerds to create a better condom is like getting bill to create better basketball shoes. i don't watch this show so i don't know what he wore. >> it is nice you could mug aed from gwynn man gnaw -- a fred gwynn man mannequin for your clothes. when you are done you can be the mater de at the olive dwar den in times square. >> i didn't know the baby gap offered outfits for kids who wanted to dress like their kindergarten teacher. >> go away. i will see you later. >>> she is so hot that spring breakers flock to her. i am here with author, columnist and contributor jedediah bila. and if hilarity was a postcard he would come in a box. and in

jane fonda?sident ran for office said we wouldn't torture people and now says we'll kill people with no due process. it find it incredibly hypocritical and incredibly ironic. this is a long drawn out day and i'm trying to get answers. i thank you for the forbearance. i yield the floor. >> kimberly: guess what? today eric holder followed up with another letter to paul confirming the president does not have authority for targeted strike on unarmed citizens in this country. here was the senator's reaction to that on megyn kelly's show today. >> there is a result and a victory under duress and under public humiliation the white house will respond and do the right thing. now after 13 hours of filibuster, we are proud to announce that the president is not goingbe to kill unarmed americans on american soil. my next question would be why did it take so long? >> kimberly: good question. after that 13-hour holdup, john brennan did finally get his vote in senate today. he is the new c.i.a. director. the vot

alleged that the united states of america, our government, would drop a drone hellfire missile on jane fondathat is -- that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about u.s. policy to the realm of the ridiculous. >> this idea that we are going to use a drug to attack american citizen in a cafe in america is ridiculous. lou: it is clear, most americans agree with senator rant paul's elevation of one of the most fundamental of our civil liberties and his filibuster in support of those liberties. tonight the senator finds his national standing elevated as well. joining us now is senator rand paul, republican of kentucky, a member of the senate foreign relations committee. the senator is also on the homeland security committee. great to have you with us. you have done a great service. you have impressed everyone with your stamina. you may a critically important point. how are you feeling after putting an all of those hours on the floor of the senate? >> i was wondering if we could do this interview sitting down, but your staff would not let me sit down. i'm still standing. but that is
