i believe joe biden is probably running.he vice president being so secretive about these fund-raisers he's holding, especially when others like martin o'malley are making noise about their efforts to help democratic candidates? >> there are a couple of theories. one theory is in certain districts and certain states, the obama administration is not at its most popular. for some candidates it's great to have the money you get from a fund-raiser, a big ticket person like joe biden, without having to have the association. for example, if you have a picture of the candidate with biden, that can be used against them in a swing district. for example, joe lieberman had a picture hugging and kissing george bush. people try to avoid these types of associations while getting the benefit of it. the other thing, there are a couple of theories here. another theory is that perhaps joe biden wants to stay low profile about it because he gets tons of requests and can't do it for every candidate. if he keeps quiet, it's not hurting the feelin

joe biden and i were back at the table on new year's eve of 2012. i preferred to be with you laying, but i found myself with joe biden once again. so, there we were, new year's eve, trying to hash out a fiscal cliff deal. what i wanted more than anything was permanency -- permanency for the $5 million exemption. indexed for inflation. why does permanent make a difference? the law can be changed, but when it have an expiration date automatically goes away. permanence for the $5 million estate tax exemption. kentucky'save 99% of small businesses and family farms from having to be sold to pay the federal tax and i hope it makes a difference for kentucky agriculture. [applause] also, as we look for new directions for kentucky agriculture, senator paul and others began to discuss the possibility of a new crop, industrial hemp. an old crop, remember? akin the day of henry clay it was a big deal. the problem was, there was a good you look confusion between industrial hemp and some other crop that was a bit more controversial and it took a bit of explaining

joe biden, they're our kids. the difference between the syrian kids and the boko haran kids, all you have to do is arrive here and you become an american child? surely you don't agree -- >> you know, what i don't understand is, honest to god, there are 11 1/2 million illegal people in this country and you're worried about 6,000 people on the border. >> i think that's hurting president obama, the complaining of the two issues. two months ago, the white house said, we have a humanitarian crisis on our border. with the new influx of the ones that came this summer. but then they also, in the same sentence, talk about the 12 million who have been here for 20 years. those two things are not the same. in 20 years they could be the same. i think conflating them is basically wearing people out. there's a real worry about more comprehensive legislation that no one reads in congress. unfortunately i think they're at an impasse. everybody's going to be at an impasse. that my electorally work in their favor. >> i think it mig
