the most interesting dynamic is ryan and mitch mcconnell. you remember mitch mcconnell after the 2014 elections came into office and said we want to make sure that people don't see the republican party as scary. and was reluctant to put forward many alternative policy ideas. paul ryan is precisely the opposite. that's what he wants to do all the time. and is he happy to have big debates about potentially unpopular issues like entitlement reform. and have it out with democrats in public. >> marah. >> the big question about the second list that he gave, the tax code and poverty and economic growth. republicans have had a hard time uniting around their solutions for those things or replacement for obamacare. that's going to be tough. it certainly is an ambitious, worthy goal. as in terms of the first thing about immigration reform, i differ with steve. the republican house had already rejected immigration reform before obama did the executive orders. they are the ones who didn't embrace what paul ryan actually was for, which was a path to citiz

, mitch mcconnell, and nancy pelosi. i appreciate the good work speaker boehner did. to reach these negotiations, east of us have discussions directed at each other. we also know that a lot of the work was done by our staff, our respective staff. my chief, drew wilson, represented the senate to look -- the senate democrats. the senate democratic caucus is aware of drew's expertise, hard work, fairness and openness. he was assisted by gary myrick, a democratic reform leader as a number of people on my team who helped a great deal. think there is anyone in the senate who doesn't know who she is. she is next burden health care. -- she is an expert in health care. george all worked literally night and day to get this to the point where we are able to be here on the floor today, seeking support. mr. president, i am so grateful for the wonderful staff that i have, but there were others involved. senator mcconnell's negotiator in this was hazel marshall. he is a good person. he was resolute. he carried forward what the republic

bevin has been controversial, for his challenge to mitch mcconnell and for supporting ben carson.wo of the issues on which the election hinges most are healthcare and gay marriage. kentuckyians are mostly pleased with their version of the affordable care act. and the governor has expanded medicare by 425,000 people. conway has embraced both programs and refused to take the side of kentucky's same-sex marriage ban as bevin visited kim davis, the county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay could .s. conway has a little bit of an edge, but they need to get out the voters. and this race is by no means a bell-weather for other national races though it could be a referendum on the affordable care act, or obamacare which you dare not say in kentucky. the polls show them separated think 3 points, and it's expected to remain just as close once the votes are counted. >>> that is michael shure reporting. the polls leading up to this race show the democrat, conway, leading the republican bevin. >>> the supreme court taking up racism in the way that juries are picked. a black te

mitch mcconnell had put up another guy who they thought was a well-groomed guy. this guy took it away. the interesting thing is mcconnell has achieved his lifetime goal, which is to turn kentucky totally down to the grassroots. except the party is not really quite his party. he's got rand paul, now this guy. >> let me ask you the $64,000 question as we used to say. the country doesn't like -- the people of this country, the latest poll we put up don't like the direction this country's heading. and i think it's going to affect the general election. i think it's going to affect bernie sanders' advantages. proven very well as outsiders this coming year because of that. now, is the republican party going in the right direction? howard fineman. is it going too far right or has it got it right? has it figured out the country and it might just win the general election next year, even against hillary? >> here's the thing. i think they've figured out the emotions of their voters, who i'm telling you, the republicans and people who think of themselves as conservatives are g

i'm grateful to see what mitch mcconnell is doing, what paul ryan is doing. we need somebody to be be a leader. the president obviously doesn't want to be. i frankly was embarrassed, a french president, socially, left-wing politically correct president closing his borders even while america is trying to close gitmo and president is trying to make sure we import syrians here. i'm just glad a lot of governors understand, if they take these refugees, they will bear the cost for education and health care and housing. and i think they're rightly saying, no thank you. no thank you. trish: governor. tell me what you know about the legality of this. think about it. if the president told you got to take these refugees and you said, uh-uh we're not take them in my state, reality they could go to another state and nothing to prevent them from coming into your territory. we are the united states of america with open borders between our states, so even if one state, says, uh-uh, it's not happening that doesn't mean refugees, some potential terrorist could be in the u.s.?

at the same time, mitch mcconnell and john boehner said that the deal increases the debt ceiling into017, but also has pay forwards that would offset that. it was basically a compromise that mitch mcconnell and john boehner were trying to get across to the republicans. i do understand your point. about the debt ceiling, there is this misperception that it is basically increasing government spending, whereas, we are paying bills that congress has already as government spending goes. that is all i have to say about that. , does the billd do anything to bring down the debt so we do not have to do this in 2017? they must be a little mixed up here. will it do anything to bring down the debt that we have now? guest: i would say no, but we always have increasing debt. the reason we had to increase the debt ceiling is because if we did not, by tuesday, we would head into default. that is really -- has really never happened before, as far as congress goes. they have always raised the debt ceiling. they have done it before the deadline hits. they have been able to do that. from lets your from d

in the united states, house speaker paul ryan and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell have called for a pause in the u.s. program accepting syrian refugees, and governors of at least 27 u.s. states have said they will not accept syrian refugees. the white house held a conference phone call with 34 governors tuesday to try to -- and president obama said attempts to block refugees are offensive and contrary to american values. >> we are open to hearing actual ideas, but that is not really what has been going on in this debate. when candidates say, we want to admit three-year-old orphans, that is political posturing. when individuals say that we should have a religious test and that only christians -- proven christians should be admitted, that is offensive and contrary to american values. amy: that is president obama speaking in the philippines today. we'll have more on syrian refugees with peter bouckaert of human rights watch and california congressmember barbara lee after headlines. it remains unclear exactly how the upheaval in paris will impact the united nations climate change

as you pointed out, mitch mcconnell and others, giving an awful lot of push back on anything that the president tries to forge, probably in an accord, not a treaty. >> which means as i understand it he won't need them to say very much about it. >> exactly. >> all right. kevin corke, live for news paris. >>> we will move on to the other big story still developing. from the story the moment broke on friday, much attention was put on the shooter of colorado springs. we want to hit that pause button now and talk about whom the community lost. fox news confirming the names of two civilians killed in the attack. just moments ago, jennifer lacovski and kiaer stewart. keir stewart. the third victim, colorado sprins university police officer garrett swayze we have known about. husband, father of two, a pastor. we're learning so much more. church goers came together on this sunday remembering him as a man of faith, devoted to his family, his job on the force as well. >> the way he treated me but also the way he treated my family and the way he treated his wife and his children. he was just such

this pause now mitch mcconnell says he believes that there should be a pause, even senator chuck schumerthe minority leader of the senate, well, majority leader presumptive if they could get that done, they want to stop that as well. are we actually going to see some success, you think, to do so? >> the only guaranteed path to success is if we take the defunding route. lou: right. >> we have in congress control of the purse. if we do not allow the money to be spent, and that takes affirmative action on our part, then it won't be spent, and the president cannot continue to undermine our national security by importing these refugees, some number of which in all probability, terrorists will become terrorists. the path being advocated by mitch mcconnell and congressman hudson, i think it's his bill, and paul ryan as house speaker, is a path that has a couple of major problems with it. i'm going support the bill, don't get me wrong, one problem is you have to get past the senate filibuster. the second problem is you have to have the president's consent, which is unlikely if he wants to bring

bevin runs this time, mitch mcconnell is now his friend. bevin runs this time as an outsider, beats jack conway who also lost to rand paul. what the democrats will say is jack conway didn't turn out the african-american vote in jefferson county. the outsider wins. as we talk about is carson up, trump up, can marco rubio and ted cruz surge up in the presidential field? make no mistake about it, voters, especially republican voters are looking for something different and they're willing to broaden their horizons as they look for something different. >> does that end the conversation? all right, lee. john is right. the question is, when you don't want to read too much into it, it's an off year, odd year, all that, but sometimes there are anomalies. we can look at what was happening on the national level with perry and others. it's still not what we're seeing with trump and now with carson. sometimes things change. what's the argument, that that's what we're seeing right now, that this is a culture shift politically in terms of where people are

governors, but democrat governors, and the legislation being considered by speaker ryan, and mitch mcconnell, the majority speaker of the senate will have sponsors of that legislation. there's a real problem, and i just want to make this point. when you go to bed -- when i went to bed last night and just as i was turning in, and i saw two jets, one from l.a.x., and one from washington dulles have to be diverted because of a bomb threat, and i know that the fbi director has indicated that we are under, here in washington d.c., a special watch for terrorism by isis, we have to take this action seriously. >> melanie nezer, does the fact that this is a debate at all put a special spotlight and pressure on agency that's resettle people. >> of course it does. i think that it's really unfortunate that in this short period of time, you saw with the actions in paris and beirut over the weekend. and most of the world was focused on paris, but the governors one after the other said we don't want refugees, and i think that that reflects a fundamental lack of understanding of what the settlement program
