earlier this week, ted cruz met with mr. trump. it will be interesting if he can sustain.ng his views known. we'll see a where it goes. >> he's becoming a polarizing figure yet keeps gaining in the polls. could that be the key to winning in the crowded field? >> i think that's the interesting thing of mr. trump. as a result of his brashness if you will he's really outspoken -- he's been louder than the other candidates. it's been harder for lesser known can candidates to break through and get more ahead because of that brashness and rhetoric. it's presented opportunity for former florida governor jeb be bush to contrast his immigration policy with the more conservative wing of the republican party. so you really have this interesting dynamic happening now. again though i think long term it will be interesting to see what happens at the august 6th debate in a few weeks. >> that is must-see tv. >> can you imagine? >> we'll see it live when it happens for sure. in the meantime was this a good week for president obama? he faced maximum heat on iran. he got a deal done. the cha

mike huckabee and ted cruz. mr. obama giving the republicans an earful, he claimed that they lacked seriousness and the coram and honesty. there are a few politicians who do lack those qualities from time to time. we have to admit and that is why we are taking all of that up in the president's efforts to sell his nuclear deal tonight and also talking with mike leigh. also tonight new developments on the 2016 presidential campaign trail come including the rarest of political creatures and a populist. and that includes a few political advantages and new polls confirm that he is also leading in most of those recent polls. so when will the republican establishment began to acknowledge donald trump as the 2016 frontrunner? conservative commentator ann coulter and political analysts ed rollins among our guests. and turkey is complicating an already complicated middle east. unexpectedly launching raids against the kurds when the expectation had been that they would be fighting the islamic state. not only against the islami

he took cheap shots a mike huckabee and ted cruz. >> the comments of mr. huckabee, are, i think, part of a general pattern we've seen that is -- would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad. we've had a sitting senator call john kerry pontius pilate. we've had a sitting senator who happens to be running for president suggest that i'm the leading state sponsor of terrorism. these are leaders in the republican party. >> here with reaction author of the best seller time for truth, reigniting the promise of america, texas senator ted cruz. senator, the iranians right now are not abiding by the deal. they wouldn't like the iaea inspect the nuclear detitator sites. we're giving them money and they can't release the americans and recognize israel's right to exist. >> with president obama it's all politics all the time. it speaks volumes he's halfway across the globe and he feels the need to attack me directly. and it's interesting, sean he didn't actually dispute the substantive criticism. the point he responds to there and i pointed out that under the oba

mr. chairman republican senator ted cruz made a reference to this deal being what he called a jihadist stimulusdeal. senator tom cotton of arkansas has compared john kerry to pontius pilate and we heard mike huckabee's comments about this deal taking israel, in his words, to the door of the oven, a reference to the holocaust. how comfortable are you with this rhetoric? >> i'm uncomfortable with it all. i'm uncomfortable with what senator john kerry has been saying that it's this or war, i'm uncomfortable with the comments you just made. this is serious business i think one point on which opponents and supporters agree is that this potential deal has far reaching consequences. there will be a lot of implications in the middle east and around the world that come from whatever happens with this agreement, where it's enforced or not. so that's the spirit we ought to look at it and most republicans and democrats on the hill are treating it in that serious way in spite of the rhetoric we hear from a few. >> let me get your thoughts on what's going on with turkey, a key u.s. ally more involved in the

mr. trump, he had a meeting scheduled with senator ted cruz.ark: that is one way of handling the donald. the other is to push them aside like what jeb bush did in iowa on tuesday. >> on our side, there are people who prey on people's fears and angst. i think it is wrong. i think we need to unify our country. we need to stop separating ourselves by race and ethnicity and income. we need to focus on the things that tie us together. whether it is donald trump, or barack obama, their rhetoric of divisiveness is wrong. mark: jeb bush is now distancing himself. ted cruz is embracing it. josh: there is no question that the jeb bush heisman maneuver is better. trump is toxic to what the republicans need to do. it is unfavorable numbers, has risen among latinos. the group the republican party believes it needs to make inroads with to win. mark: what do you think is behind ted cruz's warm embrace? what is behind the notion of the two of them getting together? josh: i don't know. i think maybe he suspects trump will flame out. he wants to be a beneficiary

ted cruz. [applause] mr.n't see it but the standing ovation they gave me the first time was even better than that one. i'm a lot better when i'm not on stage. >> i got to ask you a question -- by applause, how many of you supported a government shutdown two years ago? [applause] by applause, how many of you thought it was [inaudible] [applause] they supported it, but they are not convinced it was successful. what did you learn from it? you were one of the leaders. what did you learn from it, and what should a president do if they are having trouble cooperating with congress? mr. cruz: the answer to that first question in washington d.c., would be markedly different. there are a lot of evil in iowa and across the country who are fed up with politicians who promised something on the camp -- on the campaign trail and do not actually do what they said they would do. [applause] just about every republican in congress campaign saying they would do everything humanly possible to stop obamacare. when i promised 27 mi

mr. preble: thank you, ted. now let me introduce our two distinguished commentators. eric sterling has been the president of the criminal justice policy foundation, a private nonprofit that helps educate the nation about criminal justice issues and failed global drug policy. mr. sterling was counsel to the house of representatives committee on the judiciary from 1979 until 1989, where he was a principal responsible for legislation. he has processed the emergency amendment in the 1984 crime control act and the designer drug enforcement act of 1986. he was a principal in developing an act of 1988, part of the anti-drug abuse act of 1988 that brought many of the precursor chemicals under dea jurisdiction, including the ban on the manufacture and distribution of certain three-necked round-bottom flasks. i do not know what that is. three-neck round-bottom flasks. mr. sterling serves on the board of directors of families against mandatory minimums and marijuana majority in the voluntary committee of lawyers and a number of other boards. eric received a b.a. from haverford c

mr. romney's advice? >> yeah. i think probably ted cruz. cruz has often when he's out there doing his stump speeches, said that it's time for republicans to nominate a conservative and he always kind of by saying that, isn't saying he doesn't think mitt romney, john mccain and the other republicans who have lost in the recent elections weren't conservative. i'm assuming ted cruz doesn't want to be with mitt romney and i'm assuming mitt romney doesn't want to be with ted cruz. >> all right. we will leave it there. thank you very much. again, enjoy the rest of your fourth of july holiday. >> you too. >> thanks. >>> no to greece. just a few hours from now the polls will be open there and voters could determine whether or not to stay in the european union. earlier this week, greece defaulted on a major loan. the flow of money stopped and many of the banks just shut down. on sunday, greeks could end up deciding whether to accept austerity measures measures in return for yet another bailout from the e.u. or possibly allow the country to simply go

mr. trump. rick perry has criticized him. ted cruz has supported him somewhat.ing to the democrats' favor is it not. >> yeah. i would view it as slightly differently. the media and democrats will force republicans to answer for what donald trump says. we saw this happen before. remember when todd aiken said the ugly things he said about abortion in 2012? they asked every republican starting with mitt romney as to whether or not they agreed. and we were doing focus groups three days after that todd aiken interview in 2012 in denver, colorado, you could not convince independent women who were undecided about the presidential race that mitt romney had a different view than -- of abortion than did todd aiken. there is a real danger here, yeah look, first thing is every republican had better be prepared to be asked about this because they will be asked by somebody in the media or provoked by a democrat or pro-vehicle by their own liberal biases. they will be asked to comment on what donald trumps at says. >> and they should say what if you were advising them? >> firs

ted cruz. >> in particular, comments of mr. huckabee are, i think part of a general pattern that we have seen that's -- would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad. we have had a senator call john kerry pontius pilate. we have a senator who is running for president suggest that i'm the leading state sponsor of terrorism. these are leaders in the republican party. >> huckabee, for his part today, refused to apologize despite being begged to do so during an appearance on fox news. >> if we tonight take seriously the threats of iran then fwod help us all because the last time -- it's neville chamberlain again. we'll trust that everyone will do the right thing. three times i have been to auschwitz. i talked about the oven door. i have stood at the oven door. i know exactly what it looks like. >> huckabee took criticism from jeb bush today though it's important to listen closely to what mr. bush was objecting to. >> i think we need to tone down the rhetoric for sure. look, i have been to israel not as many times as mike huck

mr. trump said about senator mccain's service, do you have any problem with that? sen. tedz: i will tell you what i think of john mccain. john mccain is a friend of mine. he is extraordinary american hero. i am proud to serve with john mccain. mark: you feel so strongly about that -- senator rubio called what donald trump said, offensive ramblings. your former governor rick perry said, get out of the race. he's not qualified. not asking for you to repudiate donald trump as a person. i'm trying to understand what separates you from the others who feel this is beyond the pale. sen. ted cruz: i will happily tell you what i think about john mccain. i will happily tell you my views on any issue if you want to talk immigration or obamacare. i'm not going to engage in the media's game of bashing another republican candidate. mark: some people say the reason you're not doing it and haven't been critical of his comments is because you want to make sure that if he gets out of the race, you are able to win the supporters he has now. is this a political calculation? sen. ted cruz: i'm

ted cruz. >> you tweeted about this. this tries to overturn the ruling of chair. it's the same way reeid invoke the nuclear option. mr. raju: is a curiosity of senate procedure. essentially ted cruz offered an amendment about iran, iran deal saying that iran should recognize israel's right to exist. of course that has nothing to do with the highway bill. they said that it was not germane and the chair who oversees the floor upheld the ruling of the parliamentarian. now any senator can seek to overturn the ruling of the parliamentarian. to do so, you need a simple majority. typically senators avoid doing that because if you tried to overall every ruling of the chair, there would be actual chaos in the senate to rid their needs to be some order. it is rarely done. the last congress, senate majority leader harry reid did that when he wanted to change the filibuster rules under the presidential nominees. and that was referred to as the nuclear option. of course, at that time he had enough democratic votes to bush that through and the filibuster as a result was gutted. in this case, ted cruz does not have the votes. i'm sur
