according to a new p.p.p. poll, nevada senator dean heller lost two points over all. senator mark begich of alaska down six points. his colleague in alaska murkowski lost 16 points. senator rob portman ohio of lost a net of 18 points. new hampshire republican kelly ayotte has slid 15 points. >> stephen: poor kelly ayotte. apparently new hampshire voters don't want to change their state motto to live free and die. but, folks, to win the fight against these enormously popular modest gun regulations, we can't care about the voters. we can't care about coherent argument. we can't even care about what feels right. we have to go beyond all previous experience of political engagement and human interaction and achieve what i believe the zen buddhists call satori, wherein we are but empty vessels waiting to be filled. these senators must reach a state beyond truthiness, a complete nonattachment to anything other than keeping their jobs. and that's the word. ( cheers and applause ). >> welcome back, everybody. my guest tonight is the hip hop duo behind the sit song thrift shop
