in here, senior political writer for "politico," jonathan martin.ece this morning on how the president is facing criticism from democrats on the hill for not engaging them. so what have you found? >> sure. it's mostly on the senate side. my colleague, manny, and i spend a lot of time talking to senate democrats. what you hear is the rank-and-file democrats in the senate say that they just have not heard that much from the president over the last four years, and they're hoping that that changes for his second term. and we've actually learned that there have been some high-level entreaties and staff at the white house to get the president to engage more with the congress. so often this is dismissed as a sort of washington fixation about who the president is socializing with and who he's having up to camp david or over to the white house for a cocktail party. the members that we talked to, guys, it's not about having us to parties. it's about wanting to get to know us. learn about our political circumstances. learn about our policy interest and try to

so jonathan martin also writing this morning that senator john cornyn, the senior senator from texas,bout being primaried, unlikely to break with cruz. so the joke is that senator ted cruz is the only freshman senator who gets two votes. >> hey, you know, ed rendell, i hate to sound like a grizzled old veteran, but payback in the united states senate is hell. >> absolutely. >> and wait till ted cruz needs something. and all of those toes that he's stepped on are going to kick him back in the face. you know, he's come to town -- there's a reason why senators that come to town keep their head down, or at least figure out how to work with others and don't go on and on and on. you know who's learning that right now? chuck hagel. >> chuck hagel. >> i support hagel, but, you know, hagel, a lot of times, was a real tough guy to deal with in the united states senate. and he's getting paid back. but cruz is doing this hitting the ground running. wait till he needs something for texas. and if he's putting a hold and he's excited by that power, there are 99 other senators that could put a hold o

jonathan will be available for questions on construction issues and lease with the city if you have any. i'll be talking about the planning issues. i'd also like to introduce consultant martin kirkwood and consultant jorge mandragon. first, i'd like to thank the city, particularly scott sanchez and kevin guy, for their hard work on this in the recent weeks, and david chiu, supervisor chiu and his aide, justin true as well. this is the third or fourth time i've appeared in front of the commission in the last 20 years on this project. i represented previous developers in trying to make financable a rehab movie theater with a dinner theater on the second floor. we had to go through conditional use and rezonings. that didn't prove to be economically feasible. silver leathers came before the commission. however, this is the first one by mr. campos, my client, and i was at the commission in 2009 when you approved this 6 to 1 with dozens of community members supporting it in 2009. unfortunately, as you know in that period, the econ kind of fell apart and financing and so did equity. and when you approved, it was not a good time to get financing and start construction. * economy no

jonathan, mr. nugent appears to have some kind of obsession with fecal matter. is this a personal fetish or a personal problem? which is it? >> oh, lord, martin.ensible for him to be in the chamber. he is an american citizen. he has a right to be there. his presence there only -- it sort of highlights just how coarse our political discourse has become. that someone who can say he wants obama to suck on the end of his machine gun or other things he said at the nba convention last year, that he can say these repugnant things and still be there within feet of the president of the united states. i just think was just wrong on so many levels. and if this is what we have to expect from congressman stockman for the next two years, then i should just say thanks. he's going to give me tons to write about. >> yeah. but it's not that funny, is it julian? because i keep hearing speaker boehner talk about the president and democrats needing to get serious about the challenges facing this country. and then one member of his own caucus turns up with ted nugent. >> yeah. and i -- i'm only half joking when i say this kind of event makes me think it's the repub
