mike lee, who by the way, lives with senator tom coburn and coburn tried to reign in mike lee because he said it's useless, you've got to stop. ted cruz has his guy now and they're just a menace. >> i would draw a slight distinction between ted cruz and mike lee because i think mike lee a lot of his approach on thing and we saw this with his opposition on immigration. immigration reform was moving originally, ted cruz was very vocal and out there and more where jeff sessions was which is more tapping into base anger where when mike lee was talking about it, his opposition was much more focused on there are things we agree on. >> but in terms of -- >> yeah -- >> in terms of what happened this weekend it was cruz and it was lee and it was lee who was on the senate floor friday night. it was 11:30 p.m. mitch mcconnell, the republican leader had cut what he thought was a deal with harry reid, still a majority leader for the next few days. mitch mcconnell cut that deal and said, see you guys monday. two hours later, mike lee goes on the senate floor and they are, boom, they're in session f

in fact, just the fact they were here today with senators ted cruz and mike lee breaking ranks. is this a sign of things to come you think? >> it really is. it's a preview of coming attractions so to speak for this new congress that we are ushering in next month. of course, democrats will be in the minority in the senate and in the house so there will be some differences, but what progressive democrats led by elizabeth warren and some of the conservative republicans led by ted cruz has shown during this whole spending crisis has been that they are going to want to be taken seriously in this new congress. they're not just going to roll over for their leaders or for the president. >> you're talking about when -- pardon me, you're talking about when the democrats become in the minority in both houses? >> exactly, exactly. i think it was important for the democrats on their side to show republicans that just because they're in the minority doesn't mean they're going to go along with republican plans to get a budget passed, for example, or to stop the president on immigration reform.

ted cruz and mike lee with -- with they bypassed mitch mccontinental.emanding bills that president obama's executive order be removed. there was newfound opposition by the reenergized liberals in the democratic party. they've a had a white house shutdown. some wondering, is there a revolt in both parties? tammy bruce and our other guest joins us now. welcome. tammy, you got this newfound life, then you got cruz leading the charge against immigration on one side. elizabeth warren on the other side leading against the big banks. what does this mean for the final two years of the obama administration? >> i think it's very exciting for both parties. at the same time, you've got to deal with whether or not these are people in the form of cruz and mike lee and elizabeth warren, if this is just all show boating. but they also have an opportunity to show whether or not they can actually organize, if they can make a difference. it's also an opportunity for the parties themselves to be able to show the american people what they really stand for at this point beca

>> the reason why mike lee objected last night is that he and ted cruz wanted harry reid to guaranteen an amendment that would strip funding from president obama's executive order on immigration. harry reid said no and that is why we have gone through this today. everyone knows essentially on capitol hill that final passage is going to happen eventually. this has been frustrating for a number of senators. we are hearing from a lot of republicans both senators and lots of people throughout washington, officials, republicans, that they are fed up with mike lee and ted cruz. they just think this is wrong and it's just antics and everyone knows it is going to pass anyway at the end of the day. not a lot of friends being made by mike lee or ted cruz. >> when we were going through this fight earlier in the week in the house to get something passed you had a division within the democratic party between white house and some leaders in the democratic party very upset that real big bonuses for wall street got thrown into the final bill that passed. at some point there has to be some compromise.

. >>> senator mike lee was in the middle of that last night. he joins us live in a few minutes. >>> in washington dwiivide over the senate report over the cia and interrogation techniques. some claim they were lied to. others are incensed. >> i am just slohocked that the united states of america would betray its liaison counterparts who actually stepped up to the plate to help us after 9/11. >> you'll hear from a four-scar general jack keane about the blowback for troops. >>> what the steep drop in oil prices mean for our economy. >>> fighting for his faith. an army chaplain punished for sharing his faith at a suicide prevention class. i'm shannon bream. america's news headquarters starts right now. >>> the yeas are 56. nays are 40. >>> the 1. $.1 trillion spending bill is now headed to the president's desk but the fight is not over. some agencies are only funded through february setting up congress for another showdown in 2015. >> circle february 27th on your calendar which is when the first real showdown between president obama and the republ

on the senate floor last night and mike lee specifically objected to the unanimous consent that harry reid was asking for so they could adjourn this weekend and vote on monday. here are lee and cruz last night trying to make a stand on immigration. >> before the united states senate is a bill that does nothing, absolutely nothing to stop president obama's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty. that's why i rise to speak here today. >> i certainly don't see any reason why we should agree to move forward then and not have any assurance that we would at least have an opportunity to vote on an amendment that would impose a spending limitation on the president's ability to implement his executive amnesty action. >> reporter: now, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell told reporters earlier today that he was blind sided by these two, which it's unusual for these two to do that once the two senate leaders have agreed to move forward on something. a lot of republicans are very frustrated right now with ted cruz and mike lee because there has been a compromise, even though members of both part

and what the deal would have to entail is that senator mike lee of utah and senator ted cruz of texas would have to be appeased. but there was some talk an hour or so ago that they would be able to reach some deal tonight, so that president obama could sign that $1.1 trillion bill that would fund the government through september 30th either tonight, early tomorrow. it looks at this point like there will still be this procedural vote at 1:00 a.m. that will kick the debate forward, and then there will be a vote on final passage sometime early on monday. again, there is not going to be a government shutdown tonight, because they have passed that short term funding message that funds the government through wednesday. but we will see a bill pass at some point, most likely on monday, could be a deal tonight, but at this point, we're really looking now at monday morning, poppy. >> but is there -- after the disaster that the last government shutdown was, and a lot of the blame falling on the republicans, is there any chance, you know, and a lost people pointing their fingers at the republican

so mike lee specifically abouted.son why we should wait until monday at 5:00 p.m. >> again, i take him at his word. when the republican leaders promised this bill is all designed so come january and february, just a few weeks from now, we will see both houses stand together and make clear that when the continuing resolution expires for the department of homeland security this body will not appropriate money to dhs to carry out president obama's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty. >> now the "him" that cruz was referring tot beginning of the sound bite was mitch mcconnell. because come january when republicans take control of the senate he is going to have plenty of headaches as well. and i talked o a lot of republicans who were very upset with both cruz and lee who were standing in the way of this compromise that was ready to sail threw. what we're looking at through is a set of procedural votes. one is on a stopgap funding measure to keep the government open through wednesday so that on monday they can have this vo

>> they did it by appeasing ted cruz and mike lee. those junior republican senators who wanted to get a vote. >> the bulk of the government is from september 30th, but it only funds the department of homeland security through february. that's the branch that the agency, i should say, that carries out. >> during the past week reignited the conversation today. talking about the release of the e cia torture report by the democrats, and, of course, former vice president dick cheney has been one of the biggest proponents of this program. he talked about it again today, right? >> he was on nbc's "meet the press," and he staunchly defended the bush administration's enhanced interrogation techniques. listen here to him defend that program. >> sho there's a moral ekwift ens. that's not true. we were careful to stop short of torture. the senate has seen fit to label the report torture, but we were making sure of that definition. >> it worked. it worked now for 13 years. we've avoided another mass casualty attack against the united states. we di

some are criticizing senator cruz and fellow conservative senator mike lee of utah for fighting the government funding package. >> i don't think they accomplished anything except perhaps harry reid was able to get nominations and appointments through the senate that he otherwise probably wouldn't have, but i respect their right to exercise their responsibilities and their rights as senators. >> but the texas senator says reid would have done it sooner or later. >> look, one thing to keep in móau eefs going to force these nominations through either today other, because that has been his tenure in power has been an abuse of power and it was wrong. >> reporter: so you won't hear the phrase government shutdown until at least late nebraska, that's when the funding is going to run out and is likely to challenge the president's immigration executive action. >> we'll have more on this during the hour when our fox experts weigh in. >>> there's now reaction over the release of the controversial senate report targeting the cia's interrogation program3dm after the 9/11 attack. brutal than what the misled

you may remember that mike lee and ted cruz with a pair of junior republican senators who are holding up final passage of the bill on friday night, and they had to go into a long series of procedural votes on saturday. >> tonight both democrats and republicans will have the opportunity to show america whether she they instant with a president who has defined the will of the voters or with the millions of americans who want a safe and legal immigration system. this point of order is targeted not to the onnibus, but that it will be spent unconstitutionally. if you believe president obama's amnesty is unconstitutional, vote yes. if you believe president obama's amnesty is consistent with the constitution, then vote no. >> that particular vote failed even 20 republicans voted against it. we should point out that this $1.1 trillion spending bill, while it funds the government through september 30th, it only funds the department of homeland security and what it does for immigration until the end of february. we know that mike lee and ted cruz will go to great lengths to get what they want,

this for months when the deadline is because they are the ones who actually said it and senator mike lee isn't wild about what happened in the senate today. he calls it a legislative grab bag and senator lee joins us. nice to see you, sir. today there is a defense bill in the senate. it passed but you voted no? >> i did. whether you have a 1600 page bill and it comes to the floor without ever having gone through a public committee hearing or public floor debate where amendments could be offered you have got a problem. whether you have to vote for it and pass it almost to find out what's in it that should be a warning sign. >> how how could anybody in good conscience vote for something like that. i have this objection with obamacare. if you are not going to read tore at least have your staff sit down and read it and brief it to you carefully. why do we need to send anybody to washington? you can do it from home. >> that's right. that's exactly the point. most of the people in congress. most of the 435 house members and 100 senators don't need to be there you just have a small handful of s

ted cruz and mike lee, the two republicans junior senators who held up this bill on friday night, they have shown that they are willing to go to unusual lengths to make their point and that is what mitch mcconnell is certain to face come january. i'd also make the point that president obama and the democrats will have problems of their own. elizabeth warren also voted against it because it rolls back regulations on wall street reform and you can be sure she will make those points in the come year as well. >> all righty, erin mcpike, appreciate it this morning, thank you. >>> we're learning about a frightening incident in the skies. >> a russian military intelligence plane nearly collided with a commercial passenger jet according to sweden's air force chief who tells cnn this happened friday in international air space over the sea, the passenger jet had taken off from denmark bound for sweden. swedish fighter jets were deployed and identified the russian aircraft. >> he said the transponders were turned off to avoid radar detection. russia is denying one of its war planes were involved.

conservative republican senators ted cruz and mike lee tried to delay the proceedings by calling for an up-or-down vote on president obama's executive actions on amnesty for illegal immigrants. their effort was rejected. 74-22. and democrats took advantage of the extra time they had to spend in washington to advance dozens of the president's nominees. still, senator lee today defended their manuever. >> when we have a president who engages in acts of lawlessness and behaves as if he were a government of one it is always worth it to stand up for the american people and get a vote whether or not the president should have taken that action. >> by the way just moments ago, the senate voted to confirm dr. vivik murthy as the country's new surgeon general, more than year after president obama nominated him. his nomination was held up over his outspoken opposition to gun rights. >> no new signals tonight as the republican put it that jeb bush is seriously considering running for president in 2016. he announced over the weekend he plans to release more than 250,000 of his emails from his two

from utah -- paul ryan and mike lee, from utah, in their temperaments i think they are more aggressive than he would be, operating in different circumstances. most of the tenor and tone sounds like paine, more than burke, but if you get past the .one it is very burke >> justice alito came here in gave the most wonderful speech for our preview of the bill of rights gallery, masterfully talking about the relationship between new york and pennsylvania and using george washington as a figure that united them both. he is, of course, and incrementalist, resisting claims that somen precedents of his more paine-like colleagues have embraced. that leads me to ask, what would paine think about judicial review? you said that paine thought that every age and generation must be free to ask for -- to ask for itself.- act for how could he have justified unelected judges striking down laws passed by the people in the here and now is the name of the dead hand of the past? issueare getting to an but that he would not have had trouble as it did shape or the constitutional system. as you say, paine argued

. >> reporter: the senate was scheduled to have the weekend off until conservatives mike lee and ted cruz objected on friday night. so reid let a vote-aorama on starred to convince -- >> the motion to concur is passed. zbrr then late saturday night, the senate voted 56 to 40 to approve the government funding package. cruz challenged the constitutionality of the measure because it does provide some money for homeland security which could be used to help implement president obama's immigration executive action. cruz's effort was rejected 24-72. >> it would have been political malpractice for him to adjourn for the year without getting these things through. >> meanwhile the left has praised massachusetts senator elizabeth warren for her vocal opposition for a weakening of dodd-frank banking regulations in the 1,600 paige banking bill. >> a financial institution has become so big and so powerful that it can hold the entire country hostage, that alone is reason enough to break them up. today republican senator john boras sew says that the president -- >> just two years out of his residenc

actually it is senator mike lee of utah, who is very good on this issue of cronyism. my ultimate point here is that this is an attitude, so that this is the attitude coming from a guy who is supposed to stand for the free market and capitalism. think about what the average man on the street thinks. they think capitalism is a rigged game. we see this constantly. inequality just rules capitalism. it is not a system of for the people. not a system where you can get ahead. it is not what you know, it's who you know. that is fundamentally untrue -- untrue and a slander of capitalism. because of that is really the opposite of capitalism. a large reason why they can get away with this is in my view what is going on with this issue of cronyism that makes capitalism less dirty and unfair. finally i would be remiss if i didn't point out the impacts of our thinking, on our thinking about government. you might think and again i'm guessing i am from the ayn rand institute oppose government and that's not true at all. ayn rand thought government was absolutely essential. i agree wi

we saw ted cruz and a few others like mike lee, going against the party leadership in their effort to try to get a vote specifically on the issue of executive action on immigration. what does this say about mitch mcconnell, the leader's ability to control his own caucus next year when he's in the majority? czink what you saw from both the right and the left is a bipartisan response against the way washington, d.c. works. with all due respect to george, this is not some piece of legislation where statesmen came together and bipartisan fashion and solved our country's problem. for most americans out there, wages are stagnant. the price of housing is going up. the price of food is going up. gas. how are you going to sent your kid to college? and washington, d.c. doesn't care. they put together one of the worst pieces of legislation, a $1.1 trillion that has a carveout for blue cross, blue shield, carveout for wall street, has something, it provides -- they say this isn't a town that's broken. i think that what ted cruz articulated was a desire to have an honest conversation about the pre

you throw in mike lee, ted cruz, all of the others, there can be trouble brewing here.hat do you think? >> there can be trouble. even ted cruz joined with elizabeth warren over the weekend and i really think the biggest story coming out of this weekend, the biggest political story, i should say, is how elizabeth warren along with nancy pelosi, they locked arms on one side. the other side is basically mikulski and there is such a schism in the democratic party. >> you're talking about the left side of the party. >> where would hillary clinton fit in all of that? i think every time you mention elizabeth warren's name, it shows there is an alternative to hillary clinton. >> i think this, and i would let democrats slaughter each other for a year just as we are going to do. i think the critical thing here is the heavy-handedness of harry reid over the last several years. you will now in the senate have some very strong chairmen. mitch mcconnell will not get to push them around. he will go back to the job of the leader, to move it forward. >> i haven't agreed with mcconnell o

primary setting, relegate the tea party and members of it who are elected, such as ted cruz and mike lee, impotent. >> but forget about rush getting on board, jeb still has to convince his mom. >> i think it's a great country. there are a lot of great families, and it's not just four families or whatever. there are other people out there, that are very qualified. and we've had enough bushes. >> and while the gop field is shaping up, more and more democrats say they'd support a clinton candidacy in 2016. the latest, senator al franken. >> i think that hillary would make a great president. i haven't announced that i'm supporting her, but does this count? i guess. maybe this counts. i'm ready for hillary. >> a lot of democrats are getting behind hillary clinton, but it seems like we're headed for a big family feud in the gop. joining me now is ms next political correspondent kasie hunt, who just got back from covering jeb bush in south carolina. and national journal's michelle cottle. thank you both for being here. kasie, could jeb bush win with today's gop? >> i think we'll have to wait an

because when she was nominated senators ted cruz and mike lee asked her to put out a statement on whetherr not she believes the president's executive amnesty plans were constitutional and legal. if senator vitter is getting tips from ted cruz, this can't end well for him, can it? >> you know, he's made a choice to get his tips from ted cruz. ted cruz has said he didn't think they should approve any nominees, not for ambassadorships, not for anything, including the attorney general. so, you know, dana might be more optimistic than i am about there being really pushback among leadership. i can't see mitch mcconnell stopping -- letting his people stop this, but i can see them letting them have some fun with it. so we'll see. >> we see the revenge coming from the right. but i also want to talk about the thunder from the left. elizabeth warren taking on the gop for pushing through secret favors for big banks. >> democrats don't like wall street bailouts. republicans don't like wall street bailouts. the american people are disgusted by wall street bailouts. and yet here we are five years after

mike lees has more. >> john can, coming out of a generation led by michael jordan, most stepped to shy away from social issues. lebron james has had no problem speaking on issues outside the sports world especially when it comes to the death of unarmed black men much. lebron james made his most recent comment in new york before his cleveland cavaliers faced the dmikdz while both cities deal with the aftermath of two separate deaths at the hands of police. eric garner and tamir. >> jooef geographic connection to the death of tamir rice doesn't make it more troublingly. >> it doesn't matter. it's more troubling that it's happening in our country. families are losing loved once. i am not pointing blame at anyone. we have come a long way, but it just goes to show how much further we have to go. >> while james to put support behind protests he is adamant whatever wrongs they feel they have committed answering those wrongs with similar tactics should not be tolerated. >> violence is not the answer. retaliation isn't the solution. as a society, we have to do better. i pray for the tams of the

will talk about the split among the republicans and, again, we saw ted cruz and a few others like mike lee against the party leadership in their effort to try to get a vote specifically on the issue of executive action on immigration. what does this say about mcconnell's leader ability to control his caucus when he is in the majority? >> what you say from the right and left is a bipartisan response against the washington washington, dc, works, and with all due respect to george this is not a piece of legislation where statesman came together and solves our problems. for most americans, wages are stagnant, housing is going up, food is going how, how you will send your kid to college. washington,6hÑ dc does not care. they put $1.1 trillion spending bill that has a carve out for blue blue, a carve out for wall street, reauthorizing the overseas private investment corporation which provides taxpayers backedaá.&ans so the four sons hotel can buy a resort in5l most americans like add washington, dc and say this is a finally tuned machine to give carve outs to the special interests and they are s

>> one of the things that has happened because senator cruz and mike lee of utah and some of the conservativesave been pushing to say, take a breath, don't put this through. there are concerns they have. in some ways what that did by creating this extended weekend session, democrats, mainly harry reid, saw an opening. they said if we're not going to look forward, we're going to use that time to get more of the president's nominations, about two dozen nominations that otherwise might not have gone through on the senate calendar. so it's sort of like a courtroom in some respects. there's a set of rules and each side can use the rules to try to get their best advantage. can cruz used his individual right as a senator, harry reid said we've got a plan to get a lot of these nominations. a number of them are controversial including the president's nominee to be surgeon general who has talked about gun rights in a way that troubles conservatives. there are a handful of highly controversial ones. many more that are expected to go through smooth sailing. so basically, the senate has been able to do tha

. >> reporter: over the weekend republican senators ted cruz and mike lee objecting to a trillion dollar plus spending bill. angered it failed to block federal funding for being spent on the president's immigration order. >> i raise a constitutional point of order. >> that objection allowing the outgoing senate majority leader harry reid to begin the consideration of several of mr. obama's picks for executive and judicial branch positions. among the most controversial nominations sarah sole danno is assistant secretary of homeland security and viv vick mur thee for southern general. many say she's to too political and anti gun. >> now is not the right time for this nomination and it is not the right job tour dr. mur thee. the majority of his career has been spent not as a doctor treating patients but as an activist. an activist focused on gun control and political campaigns. >> reporter: it's not just about the nominations before senatorsenators head home they t pass a one year extension on expired tax cuts possibly take up the terrorism risk insurance act. in washington, joel waldman, f

when republicans were digging their heels in, when mike lee and ted cruz were doing this, they were bringing down the government. have some consistency, media, it's the same thing. >> our business expert on the couch, e. mac. without getting buried in the details of high risk derivatives and what republicans and democrats allow them to do, i'm a little disappointed that republicans would allow the big banks to take risks on things like derivatives that were banned in dodd-frank, just a 30,000-foot opinion where you stand. this is not something that people favor, bailing out big banks, and republicans got onboard with a lot of democrats to do this, and i'm pretty upset this morning. >> at this point elizabeth warren is standing up for the taxpayer and the bank depositors. she's saying big banks, stick your derivatives trading in a separate unit, do not use deposits to back up your risky casino bets. this is an interesting point, this is a shot across the bow at hillary clinton because bill clinton signed into law the glass-steagall repeal act which basically got rid of the wall between the ca

some are criticizing senator cruz and mike lee of utah for fighting the government funding package. >n't think they accomplished anything expect perhaps harry reid was able to get nominations and appointments through the senate that he otherwise probably wouldn't. but i respect their right to exercise their responsibilities and their rights as senators. >> reporter: what the texas senator says reid would have done it sooner or later. >> he was going to force these nominations through either today or monday or tuesday. he was going to do it one way or the other because that has been his tenure in power, has been an abuse of power, and it was wrong. >> reporter: so you won't hear the phrase government shutdown until at least late february. that's when homeland security money is due to run out and a republican-led congress is likely to challenge the president's unilateral action on immigration. in washington, mike emanuel, fox news. >>> jeb bush fueled more speculation he will run for president by announcing he will release thousands emails and a book. about a quarter million emails. the

the delay comes from a late night push by tea party senators ted cruz and mike lee, who run the senate floor last night, demanding the final bill include their provision to undo president obama's recent action on immigration. >> and congress should use those powers given to it by the constitution to counter a lawless executive branch, or this body will lose its authority. >> who do you work for? wall street or the american people? >> but the bigger story here is the woman who made this dramatic showdown what it has become. elizabeth warren, she is the voice of a new, more strident left. she was back on the senate floor last night railing, again, against the provision in the bill that would get rid of the key part of the wall street reform law passed after the meltdown. >> here we are, five years after dodd/frank, with congress on the verge of ramming through a provision that would do nothing for the middle class, do nothing for community banks, do nothing but raise the risk that taxpayers will have to bail out the biggest banks once again. >> and here's republican senator lindsay graha

i look at colleagues like congresswoman martha robey and senators mitch mcconnell and mike lee who haveuthored legislation to give single parents and working families more flexibility to get their time in at work or taking care of their families at home. and senator john hogan, who has led a bipartisan charge to approve the keystone pipeline and create tens of thousands of jobs. my opportunity agenda focuses on increasing educational choice to ensure every child has a chance to succeed as well as creating more jobs through r energy resources and programs. republicans are also committed to protecting the rights of the minority party, a drastic shift in the past few years in washington. amendments will be encouraged, not ignored. the practice of passing massive bills just to see what's in them will be a thing of the past. open debate and strong oversight will become the norm. while many may be skeptical, and rightfully so, given how broken washington has become, republicans are committed to returning government to the american people. we know who our bosses are and that you are more than

. >> michael, let's talk about the split among republicans and we saw ted cruz and others like mike lee, going against the party leadership in their effort to try to get a vote specifically on the issue of executive action on immigration. what does this say about mitch mcconnell, the leader's, ability to control his own caucus next year when he's in the majority. >> what you saw from both the right and left is a bipartisan support against the way washington, d.c. works. with all due respect to george, this is not some piece of legislation with statesman came together in bipartisan fashion and saolved their country's problems. the wages are stagnant, food is going up, gas is going up, and they don't care. they put together a $1.1 trillion spending bill that has a carve out for blue cross blue shield, a carve out for wall street. we authorized the overseas pride investment corporation which provides tax loans so the four seasons hotel can build a resort in turkey. i think they can pay for that on their own, and that's what's going on. most americans look at washington and say this isn't a

. >>> mike lee pays homage to a fellow englishman in mr. turner. >> and, jmw turner and if the artist were allowed today he would be a film maker. >> he was a master of sublime that could capture something that was both beautiful, and terrifying and ugly at the same time. >> mr. turner opens up in limited release on december 19th, and that is your eye on entertainment, susan marquez for cbs news, los angeles. >> i love his accent, everything that comes out is so eloquent. >> we will be right back. >>> good morning, everyone, i'm nicole brewer. we will send it over to katie for eyewitness weather forecast and bright and chilly, right katie. >> that is a sum up for a day like this. it is not necessarily the most picturesque are being or pristine day but it is a nice change of pace from what we have seen in recent days which was obviously some very dreary weather and wet weather. but storm scan three is totally empty say for a couple clouds but we are definitely seeing some sunshine and sunlight which vittoria will be talking about with sun gl
