is practically official policy as proposed by senators john mccain joe lieberman lindsey graham john kyl john haven and also while also blessed by we have a very large vested interest in seeing syria really into our growth of the world we've only got thirty seconds say despite all these grid news that if you're outlining there let's try to look at one of the positives russia has been doing an awful lot to try and keep the talking going throughout all this the opposition delegation has been in moscow again today describe the talks is very positive are we seeing some genuine efforts on the rebels' part to end the bloodshed. i don't think so i think that the rebels have now realize that their chances. options are much more limited so they're going to have to act accordingly as i see russia has a very important balance and that was the old formula much to the aggravation of you know. is the rule in other countries or the rebels i was going to help with that because they are puppets of the western powers and trying to destroy syria. good to see you thank you very much for being on the program

. >> republican john kyl is announcing the hearing as a dog and pony show. he faulted the republican colleagues for boycotting this hearing. and for backing a law that usurps the authority of the federal government. the constitutionality of that will be debated in oral arguments before the united states supreme court. the author of this measure, a republican, bristled today when a former u.s. senator, a democrat, expressed shame for arizona. >> i'm embarrassed for my state. i apologize for arizona's actions toward our latino community. legal or illegal. this is not a way to treat people. >> little disappointed when folks talk about embarrassment for the state of arizona. we have a national crisis and everyone ignores that, the cost, the damage, the crime. among other things, there is a requirement that the state police investigate a person's immigration status if the officer suspects that person to be in the united states illegally. arizona governor, the republican who signed the law and has tangled with the obama administration over it, doubted that senator

john scher. george bush, jon kyl, and john mccain all unanimously praised rich carmona before, during, and after his service 3 we think it's a great opportunity in a state the democrats have not talked about in a while. >> final question? >> you talked before about the dfcc's goal. what metric you used to define success or failure? isn't success if you are in control of the senate? >>

john scher. george bush, jon kyl, and john mccain all unanimously praised rich carmona before, during, and after his service 3 we think it's a great opportunity in a state the democrats have not talked about in a while. >> final question? >> you talked before about the dfcc's goal. what metric you used to define success or failure? isn't success if you are in control of the senate? >> i have bent for a couple of cycles and into that sex when i -- in senate races when i was political director of the dfcc, we spent the time defending race is that would not happen. in 2010 in the worst election cycle for democrats in 75 years, i worked for a guy who had never held office or run for office before he found himself in the most expensive, most competitive senate race in the united states in 2010. these things have a way of moving and changing. our goal is to hold the senate. we know their arithmetic as lopsided and it is a tough challenge for it we know we have a lot of incumbents who are in red states where the president is expected to win but from the beginning of the cycle when no one gives a shot u

pearce -- are you disappointed you did not have senator john kyl here or any other republican? >> they probably had good reasons. i would have appreciated a call. this is about states' rights. arizona has certain rights. this is about defending arizona's right. it is overwhelmingly supported by arizona and across the nation. it is passed. it is signed into law. it is also a federal law. arizona took a lead in the nation to solve this national crisis. again, over 50% of the entries go on through arizona. >> i understand what you are saying, but are you disappointed that no other republican senator showed up? >> of course i am. >> why do you think they did not show up? >> i have no idea. it would be unfair of me. >> are you aware of the arguments of the unwanted effect of causing problems because the lack of labor? >> absolutely not true. illegals use social services 3- to-four times that of any other demographic. we did the study. be demographic and its violent crime in three times as likely as any other demographic. the myths have to be set aside. >> would you say more than 7%

here is one comment from senator john kyl, a republican of arizona. >> how about the 50% of households that pay no taxes and yet received the same or greater benefits than those who ? is that fair? the joint committee on taxation estimates to 81% of all households, which includes filers and non-filers, has either zero or negative income tax liability in 2009. people who do not share the sacrifice of paying taxes have little direct incentive to care whether the government is spending and taxing too much. maybe that's why the president has no problem with even more americans getting a free ride. host: our question for you this morning -- do you pay your fair share? pecjim kim is the incoming president for the world bank, this has ended a better selection process. he is a public health expert and former president of dartmouth college and becomes the first world bank leader with a background in development. previous presidents have been bankers or washington officials. david, an independent in new york. what do you think? caller: good morning. i think i pay my fair share of taxes. somethin

had a good morning with union guys and good speech to the chamber he is talking to jim wright and john kyl and saying why is fort worth a good yellow dog democrat town and why is dallas right wing? what i like about my ability to get that is it shows jack kennedy chose a political career and was fighting and trying to be a good politician and get it done. the answer he got is a fascinating thing. jim wright blamed it all on the newspaper business. the media. the daily press owns the dallas morning news and just said this anti kennedy message in the city of dallas. john connie was more shrewd. he said it dealt with the economy of the two cities. fort worth was the town of factory floors where people -- men and women worked next week the other in blue-collar blues plea for a working-class town. they would work in chorales and stockyards. regular people. dallas, high rises, insurance business, everyone wearing a white shirt to work and they want to work fairway to management level. they are thinking republican. guess who was like that? john conway began a republican. the other guy -- getting

then you'll have guys like jon kyl and john corn from border states saying that arizona had to do what it had to do because the federal government is not doing enough to secure the border, let's talk about border security and not immigrant rights. this has huge ramifications for 2012 for this reason, charles schumer has said if the supreme court upholds the arizona law, he's going to introduce legislation in the senate and force a vote on it that would say that any changes to immigration law in the state would first have to be approved by the federal government. what this will do is make a november attack ad on the arizona law. basically saying so-and-so voted for immigrant rights, so-and-so voted against them and for stopping them. it's a fascinating debate and you'll see ground zero in the united states senate. >> the irony, luke, we may look back on it with the new numbers out this week, studies about immigration patterns from mexico to the united states that it's a solution in search of a problem where illegal immigration appears to be legal immigration at an all-time low from mexi

mcconnell said lugar was the lead person but also brought in john kyle, is deputy and so you had a very ungainly arrangement in which both lugar and jon kyl were involved. it seemed the republicans were turning to jon kyl on this even though lugar by most people's admission had a much greater understanding of the treaty, much more balanced approach to the treaty but it was classic lugar that he worked hard on it, he was completely a gentleman. didn't react in any adverse way. worked very hard on the issue. he put together a number of dear colleague letters on this treaty and they almost served as a kind of model of what a senator could do. a remarkable series of letters which just way out what the treaty was. what proponents believe, what critics believed and his view and it was extremely fair minded. the sort of work we sort of hope our lawmakers will provide that happens too rarely. i would like to end my remarks by talking a little about the current campaign because obviously it is a campaign that has grabbed both the national attention and international as well as indiana where it is something that is being viewed with great interest.
