lindsey graham que estaba negociando con los demÓcratas, Él se retirÓ del tema.mentos no hay ni un republicano en la cÁmara alta, ni uno, que diga que estÁ dispuesto a apoyarlo. >>porque los demÓcratas han jugado del tema como si fuera un juego polÍtico. lindsey graham se presentÓ con buena fe para tratar de negociar una soluciÓn, un consenso con los demÓcratas, para llegar a poner en funciÓn el tema adelante, pero no quisieron hacerlo, quisieron usar el tema como un juego polÍtico para las elecciones en noviembre. >>ahora, marÍa, dÉjame hacerte una pregunta. cuando el senado y el congreso, que, como dice danny, el presidente, el congreso y el senado son demÓcratas y ademÁs,

and lindsey graham is at clemson, south carolina. i pretty much stated the conventional wisdom in the opening there. the thinking here in washington seems to be whether or not they actually get a majority in either house, republicans are going to pick up a lot of seats in the next congress. i don't think there's anybody who would argue otherwise. but here's the question. whether they take the majority or not, what is ahead? are the two sides going to find a way to work together? or will there be just deeper and harder gridlock? let me start with you, governor dean. what do you think is ahead? >> i think... first of all, let me thank senator graham for his willingness to work together. but look what happened to him when he got home. the far right of his own party pilloried him. that's a big problem, not just on the right but all the districts are drawn in more and more partisan ways so you have very partisan big majorities. your challenge as a republican is likely to come from the right, as we've seen this election season. your challe

>> just mentioned lindsey graham. i wrote a bill. i wasn't here for the bailout.that but i wasn't here for the bailout. i was here to write a bill called the pay it back act, saying the money that came back from the t.a.r.p. use should be used dollar for dollar for debt reduction. bob corker was co-signer on that bill. it passed with bipartisan support. people in my town hall meetings want that. they're sick of partisanship and don't want to send someone to washington, d.c. that says i'm going to be the chief filibus r filibuster. there are people back here that will do that. what we need is cooperation. >> a minute left. i want you both to take this from facebook. we've partnered up with the facebook politics page. here is one we chose. ashley newberg. what do you hope to accomplish, fwhoeth your political career and in life in general, outside of politics? you have to be very brief. mr. buck? >> in my political career, i would like to see a constitutional balanced budget amendment and in my life i would like to play more golf and get a decent handicap. >> there

lindsey graham? >> it is what it is and i don't step aside and make any comment on it. think it speaks for itself >> okay. some of your "bush at war" books it seemed you were moving toward transparency, interviewing donald rumsfeld on the record as well as president bush. here except for obama not one on the record source. why not? >> but there are all kinds of on the record sources, because i have or have seen the documents that i quote from at length, and nothing is better than a document, particularly one that is produced at a specific time but in this case i'd love to do all the interviews on the record, and as you know, you want to get the truth, and you want to find out what really goes on and if you go in and put a tape recorder down and said okay, this is on the record, you're going to get a lot of untruth. >> but -- >> it's just, you know, i learned that the first day i was a reporter when somebody on a city council in rockville, maryland, said something in public, and then i talked to him afterwards off the record, and he said the opposite. >> from the city co

lindsey graham just signed something he calls the citizen's prescription. senator graham joins us live. what is your news about health care? >> what i want to do is allow people to have a say about health care. this bill was passed behind closed door. it was a sleazy process. i've got an idea with senator barrasso from wyoming. growth gloat is a doctor. >> who is a doctor. basically, you can sign at l graham.senate.gov. you can ask for your state to opt out we want the states to have a say as to whether the individual mandate, medicaid expansion should happen in your state. you would get to speak, not the politicians. we are going to introduce legislation next year to allow every state to opt-out if they choose. >> greta: isn't it too late for that? >> it is never too late. this bill is just getting started. they promised it would lower costs. premiums are going up 8.8% next year. everything around this bill has been a fraud. an they are attacking it in court. i would love to have the american people have a say about whether or not they want to be in the in

the primary cpolitics got complicated and lemieux decided he couldn't do that. >> you also had lindsey grahamatives on graham to pull out of these talks. he was literally the only republican in the united states senate at the end of the day that would negotiate publicly on climate change. >> i don't know if the split still exists. remember, lindsey graham was this guy negotiating on climate change. he was negotiating on guantanamo bay. the guy is from south carolina, he has jim demint to the right making all sorts of noises. "time" magazine writes a story about how lindsey graham is the new maverick. he told people that john mccain called him and they had a very testy conversation and he was the new maverick. i thought mccain was denying that. >> this is before that. >> that week he was a maverick. >> not only, this is in your article, correct me if i'm wrong, not only did he get mad at graham but he iced out the reporter at time for a while and was angry at her? >> she told me it is on the record in the piece that after she wrote that piece, mccain completely stopped talking to me. >> what y

is the fact that john mccain refused to work with barack obama on this and therefore lindsey graham wouldn'tis that a turning point for this issue, and would you see any chance that after the election there can be a coming together on big questions like this? unless john mccain is part of the action -- >> it's not going to happen. >> there's not -- >> i don't see any chance it could happen because there's been such a diminution in the past. four or five years ago it was pretty close, but people who voted for a comprehensive approach wouldn't do it now. partly it's because the conditions on the border has deteriorated. i don't think that's a place you will see much progress. >> todd purdham with another provocative piece. thank you. >> thank you. >>> do american students have their priorities straight when it comes to getting a good education? >> we'll be right back. interesting grooming. thanks. i got the idea from general mills big g cereals. they put a white check on the top of every box to let people know that their cereals have healthy whole grain, and they're the right choice...

lindsey graham started to negotiate on the bill, but in the end, they decided to pull away because they thought it would be politically better for them not to support it. the reason we do not have immigration reform is not because of harry reid but because of the republican but walked away from the table. if hispanics want to put pressure on both parties, they need to come to the table. we need a program that will allow people to come in and meet our needs and at the same time, enforce the rules and time havee country. i think it is not an easier -- an either/or type of thing. we can do it. we just have to get the politicians to stop using politics as a way of dealing with this issue. host: joshua in uniontown, pennsylvania. caller: your current speaker is talking about his disillusionment with both parties right now. that is the same situation as most or all of the people in this nation. there was a democrat that started to do some true comprehensive reform and ron paul had to measures on the republican side of that were true comprehensive reform. other than that, have not seen any tru

lindsey graham saying, look, a friend of newt's was saying this gets you a lot of attention but makesyour negatives go up. if you look into 2012, these comments will come under higher scrutiny. an unnamed romney aide said that, look, this just shows that newt lax focus and also lacks the ability to sort of control his own words. romney may be another 2012 candidate as well. so more and more, it will be interesting to see whether or not newt uses these to get attention in a good way or a bad way or really if it's a way to sell more books. >> how seriously is he being taken as a candidate in 2012? or is he just selling books at this point? >> his longtime friend weber said he thinks there's no doubt that newt very much would like to run in 2012. he's got to figure out the polls and is there going to be the support and will his comments come and bite him in the butt. if all those boxes are checked and newt has the support, i think most people think he's going to want to get in. >> i just don't understand, like mort, how does a guy who has compared kathleen seib beal yse to joseph stalin,

john mccain and lindsey graham and joe lieberman and others that if you go for a deal there, that woulde of the republican party. there will be a few in the republican party. i put you there if you're still there, some people who want, seriously, who believe it's essential we go over there. >> mika and i have been going out giving speeches for two years now. i've been talking about the exhausting wars and mika has too, how we'll bring our troops home. how afghanistan is in an endless war. i have yet to go to a group, including republicans in new hampshire who didn't agree, that's spending $2 billion a week on an endless war is a foolish thing to do. >> bear in mind one point. if there is an accommodation, it's not going to be between us and the taliban. it's going to be between karzai and the afghans. with the other afghans who drew the taliban. we will be participating in this arrangement in a larger, regional umbrella. >> pakistan, there is the al qaeda in there. there are various tribes in there as well do you see pakistan as surviving and us continuing in pakistan to fight the al qa

is the media version of what lindsey graham said to me a couple years ago it is not enough to be -- people you are for, you have to be against the people they are against as well t is very hard, he think, in this media culture to be on both sides of a divide as substantial in the viewership and audience of fox and npr. it is just -- there is a kind of sense of each side, particularly on seems on the npr side, inherent disloyalty giving credibility to other side. >> mark, and we have talked about it a lot here, you and i have talked about it a lot, this show is a safe house where people can come and talk whether they are on the right or the left but there aren't many places left like that outside these three hours. >> i often say, huey lewis was right. he said that this -- that this show stands out for that reason. and juan williams' place on fox, which is defended by brit and others, gives them a kind of fig leaf credibility to say we bring on divergent voices. there aren't very many and i -- you know, frankly, when i watch him on, he is not always treated with that much respect. he is not
