senator mike lee, republican of utah joins us live right now. senator lee's very active in the tea party movement. senator, are you going to vote in favor of this agreement? >> you know, i haven't seen the legislation yet. i haven't had an opportunity to read it yet. based on the summary that i've received so far i am not inclined to support it. what i've said since before i was even sworn in to office, wolf, is that i cannot support any effort to raise the debt limit that isn't accompanied by immediate and permanent structural spending reform. i think for reasons i explained in my new book, "the freedom agenda," that can't happen without an amendment to the constitution that restricts congress' borrowing power. >> what do you say to those who say you can't let the perfect being the enemy of the good. this is a good deal, it averts default, it allows the process to go forward. a super committee, democrats an republicans, equal in number, will now have a chance to come up with and even better deal by thanksgiving. what do you say to those people,

they picked a tea party guy instead named mike lee. he was retired as incumbent senator and mike lee did go on to win that seat. >> you're robert bennet, you are one of the most conservative members of the united states senate. how is it that you get tossed out by this tea party movement or whatever it was in utah, how does that happen? >> they don't really care. you can win an election screaming in anger, but you cannot hold and govern for a significant period of time on screaming and anger. >> even while hurdling through the subway system, bob bennet upset and visibly disappointed when his own party gave him the boot last year. i have to say, don't feel too bad for bob bennet, he worked for a d.c. firm, i'm sure he's doing fine. bob bennett getting kicked out of the senate like that was seen as a shot across the bow. any republican with any hint of moderation -- actually, no, bob was not an conservative. he had an american conservative rating of 84% but that wasn't enough for tea party. bob bennett was their victim. their mess alittl

mike lee another tea party guy from utah. i'm interesting to see who goes against it many the left. we know bernie sanders was a no. we talked about the numbers, john boehner was deliver to deliver to the house of representatives getting about i believe 166 republicans to come on board. nancy pelosi's caucus was split in half 95/95. i suspect you'll see some liberal opposition to this in the senate. over all, i don't think they have to whip this very hard it's pretty much a done deal. >> luke russert watching this on capitol hill. i want to bring in three observers here. mark fry, reed wilson and michael steele in new york. oh, no, he's here in washington. >> that's okay. >> michael steele, tea party to me doesn't know how to declare victory or are you look at this now and saying, well i don't blame them for not declaring victory? >> i think it's a little bit of both, actually. you don't want to be too premature. you want to make sure the final vote's done and you have all of your players committed to their particular position like an orin hatch or a mike lee many the senate. but i
