bennett, most conservative member of the senate is going to lose his primary race to a guy named mike lee because lee found room to the right of bennett. >> you wouldn't think that was possible. how is there room to the right of bob bennett? >> for starters a part of the speech is repealing the 14th amendment. it's an applause line. he will win his primary by double digits. >> according to the salt lake tribune, lee placed a call into hbo and further more lee's office argues the senator never said he wanted to repeal the 14th amendment though he has supported clarifying the interpretation of its language. supported clarifying the interpretation of its language. grants u.s. citizenship to anyone born within its borders. what exactly do they mean by clarifying the 14th amendment? flashback to lee's senate campaign in 2010. >> the 14th amendment provides that any person born in the united states who is subject to the jurisdiction thereof shall be a citizen of the united states. the way i read that amendment is that you're not necessarily subject to the jurisdiction sof the united states just

i tried to help mike lee on, as did supervisor kim. it did not work. i did it. i have worked very hard to keep it open, and to give it to stay as the eagle, and sometimes we want to view ourselves so powerful that we can make things happen, and this is one of the frustrating experiences where you try and think you have influence, but you end up having a lot less influence that you actually have. with that said, we are in the situation we're in, and i will support the motion to continue the motion to september 10. we will give the new owners time to do our reach for the information that has to be gathered and come back to the committee so the committee and board can make an intelligent decision about the liquor license transfer. i want to know that as the new owners, and i said this last week, i stepped and a little bit of a cow pie here, because there is a history, and people have been very angry at property owners. they actually took their liquor license out of the premises with them. i think they have not done anything wrong. there were timing issues, and ther

commonly known privacy advocates in the senate for now just last week in the senate judiciary committee mike lee dick durbin chris coons they all tried but they failed to advance an amendment limiting government snooping it would have forced intelligence services to actually get a warrant before spying on americans communications something if they don't have to do under the act as it stands now that i might have failed but it seems like the indignation is ground and it is a limited of course to the senate it's common knowledge that ron paul is a strong defender of privacy dentist who senate has also come out hard against the patriot act and next year when neither one will be congressman there will be others we already mentioned austin scott ted poe on there isn't the time to mention every single person out there that has at one point expressed privacy concerns there is also a bipartisan caucus is now dedicated entirely to the issue co-chaired by republican joe barton and a democrat ed markey contains tea partiers and progressives and has twenty four members and just last week it's democratic mem

raising haul equals to one thousand eight hundred twelve now even the least prolific senate fundraiser mike lee he raised one hundred forty three dollars an hour which is two hundred eighty six thousand dollars on an annual basis that's a lot of money so let's move on to the house here tea party favorite michele bachmann she topped the list raising the equivalent of three thousand three hundred and ninety one dollars for our speaker john boehner raised two thousand four hundred forty nine allen west took in one thousand six hundred and thirty six and house majority leader eric cantor one thousand four hundred eighty nine and let's not forget about joe wilson he's a south carolina representative who accused obama of lying during the state of the union in two thousand and ten and he reaped a windfall last election taking in one thousand one hundred and eighty five dollars per hour and the sad thing is that the weakest fundraiser in the house his name is joe potts he still took in over one hundred thousand dollars annually or fifty five dollars an hour. so those are a lot of numbers there but even

joining us, republican senator mike lee who cosponsored the bill.today. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> it is called ending the government shutdown, something along those lines. tell us how it is going to work to make sure that key programs stay funded but still some incentive for reaching a come pronice or reaching a budget? >> basically how it works is it makes sure the government doesn't just shut down in the event we fail to pass a resolution at the time it would ordinarily occur. automatic cuts, modest cuts but still significant enough to incentivize congress to make sure that it continues to get funded but not at the same levels and this prevents a lot of bad things from happening and prevents a lot of people from being scared often unnecessarily that they are not going to get paid. >> shannon: how long has it been sense the senate passed a budget? >> more than three years. interesting, shannon, the last time the senate passed a budget there was no such thing as the ipad, no one had heard of it. it is stunning to think that throughout th

joined in a moment by republican conference chairman jeff henderling of texas and utah republican mike lee. senator, look. to me this is a great opportunity to help the economy. instead, class warfare gets in the way. now it's an opportunity to cause a double dip recession. why did it have to happen this way, senator lee? >> it didn't have to happen this way. it shouldn't have had to happen this way. it's not the fault of the american people that congress hasn't done the hard things, that congress hasn't made the decision to cut where cutting is needed. raising taxes is not going to help the situation. yet that is what's happening. in the process of raising taxes, we are not only not going to solve the problem because 94% of our deficit still remain intact. what we are going to do is kill 710,000 jobs according to ernst & young, jobs from the people who can least afford it. they are not top 1% jobs, mind you. >> jeb, welcome back to the show. we appreciate it. you will be our last bastion. please tell us there is no chance the senate bill will pass the house. no class warfare. no tax hikes

joining me now republican senator mike lee of utah, former law clerk for now supreme court justice samuelraoet too. alito. welcome back to the program. there was a split among conservatives, some defending chief justice roberts, saying he did write and opinion that reviewed to expand commerce powers. other folks are saying you're looking at the wrong sections of the opinion. if you look at what the court actually held, it is basically an expansive power without limit upped the taxation powers of the congress. >> that is exactly right, megyn, and that's why it's concerning to so many people who love liberty in america. people who understand that the government exists to serve the people, and not the other way around. this is yet another example of a supreme court facilitating the unfettered expansion of congress' power. congress was as you remember, megyn supposed to be a legislative body with powers that you few and defined, not numerous and indefinite. the modern supreme court has flipped that on its head and we've got to reign this in and do it for the political process by elect agnew g
