jimmy hoffa wrote a letter to the president that you are destroying the 40 hour work woke and healthare plan. democrats are dping to crack and we are nudging them in the right trekz to save the american people. >> there is friction and tension, but going forward, is the senate going to come together? is there a deep wound that is going to take time to heal among the republicans by the way? >> no, look, this is a difference in opinion about tactics. that's all it is. we are all in favor of getting rid of obama care, we just voted that way friday. there is no difference of opinion on obama care. but i, for example didn't think a government shutdown which 80 percent of the american people are against was a good idea. we will not shut the government down. the bill is back from the house and hope it will be more appealing to the senate democrats, we know they are nervous about obama care as well. >> senator tis it a pleasure to visit with you. there is a lot going on in washington and glad there is, maybe this will get resolved. it is a plosure. >> thank you, mike. nthree years she was ta

the unions including jim hoffa or jimmy hoffa has been quoted here have said, look, back off.ist. they have said that because what cruz is doing is taking a legitimate and needed discussion about how to improve obama care and turning it into some sort of anti-obama care initiainitiativ. they're legitimate concerns and ought to be addressed. what they want to make sure is corporations don't gain the system to try and undermine existing health care protections. that should be discussed. but they are not saying that obama care is the ultimate nightmare and it's, you know, basically it's got to be defunded and taken down in the way ted cruz is. >> yeah, this all has to do with negotiated benefits, organized labor does not want to go in there and make a case and do a deal and have good health care then all of a sudden have it undermined. i think that is something they'll be able to work on. but can ted cruz back up the obama care attacks with any validity? >> well, factcheck.org, a national site, very nonpartisan, has said that ted cruz's speech is going to keep them working overti

jimmy hoffa come to mind? but tonight his hiatus is on hiatus.more late night competition returns to the air tonight. cbs is syndicating the show. chances are you will be able to see it. hall has been gone for nearly 20 years, waiting for the right time to jump back in. of course, it's not 1994 anymore. a lot has happened since then. viewers will tell him if his timing is right. it's not very often that you get something new from a man who has been dead for 123 years. but that kind of happened. a wealthy norwegian was told the van gogh painting he had was fake so he did what we all do with our fake paintings. he put it in the attic. now six decades and a lot of dust later, experts say it's not a faux van gogh at all. it's real and worth millions of dollars. it's called "sun set at mount majeaux" painted in 1988. he apparently thought he mailed this one in and gave it to his brother. the last discovery of this magnitude was in 1928. >>> make sure to follow me on twitter. and also at the lead cnn and check out our show page for videos, blogs, extra

jimmy hoffa has written letters saying we don't like it right now. big corporations don't like it.y can't mom and dad and kids wait another year? if it's that good a program, why not get it done right. >> there's a rush because americans are needing it. >> americans don't need it right now, don't want it right now. this was passed with democratic support. >> the democrats wouldn't agree that now isn't an appropriate time. the lengthiness of this debate has been going on for so long. >> it's question of giving america what we want. the unions were one of the biggest proponents of this bill. >> it's a law, passed into law. >> the unions realize that we can't give our members the coverage that they want and deserve. >> what do you mean americans don't want it? i mean, this is the law. >> it was passed when the senate had 60 democrats in the senate. that's when it was passed. it was not passed with one single republican vote. that's not necessarily the best law for america. i think if they had reached across the aisle, it would have been a much different scenario. if you could go acros

you have jimmy hoffa that president of the teamsters union saying it is destroying the 40-hour workweek and their cadillac health care plan, don't you think this thing can't possibly work? >> no, and i think once the bills come due at the state level you're going to have a real upper on your hands because there's a printing press in washington that runs 24 hours a day printing money in the state capitol the state capitol said on of the printing press. they are limited to a certain extent o their borrowing. when the medicaid bills come due in kentucky are state and other states and i think there'll be another war over obamacare and the question then will be can we throw out the governor who increased their medicaid by 50% and bankrupted our state in the process? >> i thank my colleague from kentucky for the opportunity to change some views here and think about the impact of this on our state and our country and mr. president i yield. >> democratic senators max baucus and barbara mikulski came to the floor to discuss the continuing resolution and while they are in favor of the health care

when you have got jimmy hoffa, the president of the teamsters union, saying you're destroying the 40-hour workweek, and their cadillac health care plan, don't you think this thing can't possibly work? mr. paul: no, and i think once the bill has come due at the state level, you will have a real uproar on your hands because there is a printing press in washington that runs 24 hours a day printing money. in the state capitals, they don't have a printing press. they are limited at least to a certain extent on their borrowing. when the medicaid bills come due in kentucky, our state and other states, it is really -- i think there will be another war over obamacare, and the question then will be do we throw out the governor who increased our medicaid by 50% and bankrupted our state in the process? mr. mcconnell: well, i thank my colleague from kentucky for the opportunity to exchange some views here about the impact of this on our state and our country, and, mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. leahy: while the distinguished republican leader is still on the floor, i want to propound a unan

i think you quoted jimmy hoffa for one of those. is the senator aware that reportedly the house is going to be voting on later today and be changing once again the continuing resolution and sending it back over here. this time the report is that they will vote to delay the individual mandate, to make it match, as the senator pointed out, the employer mandate. it's already been unilaterally delayed by the president in an act of lawlessness. unfortunately it's not an isolated event. and then the vitter language, which will overturn the office of personnel management interpretation which basically carves out congress and congressional staff from the -- the law that will apply to havel apply to have one else. it strikes me that is another attempt by the house to enter into some negotiation. would the senate care to venture a i guess as to what sorte sortf faith that good-faith attempt by the house of what negotiations that will lead to and whether or not, i'd be interested in the senator's observation about whether he believes, as i do,

when you have jimmy hoffa, same bed he is destroying the 40 hour work week. and their cadillac health care plan. don't you think this thing possibly can't work? >> i think once the bill comes due at the state level, we will have an uproar on their hands because it is pretty impressive that washington, in the state capital, they are limiting it leads to a certain extent on their borrowing, the medicaid bills that come due in kentucky, our state and other states. i think there will be another war over obamacare. the question then is do we draw the governor who increased our medicaid by 50% and bankrupted our state in the process. >> i think my colleague from kentucky for the opportunity to exchange some views here about the impact of this on our state. as well as our country. i yield the floor. >> democratic senators max baucus and barbara mikulski came to the floor to discuss the continuing resolution and why they are in favor of the health care law. senator mikulski discussed an amendment that she and harry reid will introduce that strips the health care lang
