the next year, ted took over the committee and continued what orrin started and when orrin's father passed way, ted was one of the first to call. i was over at -- it was over dinner that they try to assure that the 10 million children did not have access to health care -- that debate hit roadblocks in congress as apparently debate over health care tend to do. ted would have his chief of staff celebrate orrin to court his support. when hearings did not go ted's way, he might pop on a cigar to anoint orrin, who did not like smoking. when they did not go orrin' s way, he might threaten to call ted's sister eunice. but when there came a time to pay for the health insurance, ted pounced. offering a tobacco tax and asking argue for joe campbell and the marlborough man or millions of children who lack adequate health care tumor it was the kind of friendship unique to the senate, calling to mind when john calvin once said of henry. i do not like clay. he is a bad man, an imposter, a creator of wicked scheme. i would not speak to him, but by god, i love him.

these are escorts being introduced by orrin hatch from the state of utah. they have an elaborate procedure they walk through for any visiting speaker. >> that's right. this is not a joint session of congress. that's only when the president speaks. this is a joint meeting of congress. this is only the second time in history that a foreign leader has addressed the congress for his third time. the other individuals being winston churchill, the speaker of the house, john boehner gave him a bust of winston churchill in honor of his reaching this milestone reached by only one other world leader and there have been a lot of comparisons being made by republicans especially of netanyahu to churchill with not suchkomp complimentary comparisons being made. >> acting dean of the diplomatic

. >>> for more on the election let's go to orrin lieberman live in jerusalem now. orrin, it seems netanyahu really making that last-minute appeal to right wing voters doubling down on what he has focused on throughout the election. >> reporter: absolutely. the last few days and especially these last hours before the election he's made a push for the right wing. in an interview yesterday with local media, he suggested that if he were prime minister there would be no palestinian state. under his leadership he insists a palestinian state would simply be a base for attacks on the state of israel. he's really making a push for right-wing voters. here's what he had to say shortly after voting this morning. >> translator: there will not be a unity government with the labor party. central government is not -- possible. i will form a national government. one must vote likud. there is no other vote. >> reporter: meanwhile, isaac herzog voted a short time later. he said that if you were the same thing, if you. the status quo, vote for netanyahu. if you wanted different leader

first orrin lieberman. israeli sources seem to suggest that sensitive information about the ongoing nuclear talks may be mentioned in prime minister netanyahu's speech. wondering what's being said about that where you are this morning. >> reporter: that's about as much as we've learned about the sensitive information. we saw this out actually from our cnn team on the flight over to washington, traveling with netanyahu. since then netanyahu hasn't really referenced or given any hint as to what information he might reveal. perhaps after the conciliatory tone we heard in his speech he could decide up until the last moment before his speech before congress what sensitive details he has and which he chooses to share in front of congress. >> over the weekend and yesterday we heard from former israeli commanders urging netanyahu to cancel his speech. i'm wondering if any other voices of dissent have emerged, this being the big political story there. >> reporter: in these latest couple of days, it's been fairly qui

. >> we should point out, speaker boehner and senator orrin hatch, the senate president pro tem they are on the dais there. they are going to welcome the prime minister. politics here, what about this administration how it looks at this speech? the president is not watching it apparently. one would think the administration is. >> there is an interesting political theme. even yesterday during aipac samantha power gave a relatively well-received speech. they really didn't interact with his speech thanking people in the room. he did not thank samantha power. another small tidbit six jewish members of the senate and house not there, given proportion of jews in the congress is someone interesting number. another tidbit, that bibi is more popular in the u.s. now than ever before. 45% approval rating. pop among republicans is up sharply but even among democrats is up sharply. the politics is interesting. look at democrats not going bibi is not popular with democrats. in actuality according to gallup he is more popular than he was a year ago, two years ago three years ago and on and on. >> t

. >> right now, we are hearing orrin hatch and the speaker read names of the escort committee. i think kelly o'donnell is standing by she is not with us just yet, but it is interesting, kris that our first read team talks about the success and failure of benjamin netanyahu's speech even before it begins. obviously bringing great attention to the impact that this nuclear deal the u.s. is trying to strike with iran could potentially have but also we know the anger associated with it some 50 potential, 50 democrats boycotting the speech and the effect this could have on not the relationship with israel and the united states but the relationship with the administration. >> yeah, this is nothing, if not extraordinary. first of all, you have what the white house calls breach of protocol, but you have the leader of another country coming on to the floor of congress in the middle of negotiations as you know john kerry has been meeting with his iranians counter parts today, trying to make progress on this deal, and right in the middle of it the leader of another nation standing in front

that's where cnn's orrin lieberman is standing by for us. tension of course we're seeing growing between president obama and israeli prime minister netanyahu. now we learn that mr. obama is not buying mr. netanyahu's post campaign policy shift on the issue of whether he's committed to a two-state solution. now many confused about where israel actually stands on this. what's been the reaction there? >> reporter: the administration here the prime minister's office insists that they never change their minds. there was no back and forth, no flip-flop. they insisted it was misinterp misinterpretation of netanyahu's comments before the election where he seemed on to state there would be no palestinian state under him. the administration inexists what are the realities of the middle east and instabilities here. however, as you mentioned, president obama not buying that explanation for the apparently contradictory commence. the real question is what happens, what changes. both sides seem confident and have gone out of their way to see that the finan

our own orrin lieberman from jerusalem. five minutes past 10:00 there. thanks. >>> we did mention the group of israeli veterans criticizing mr. netanyahu's speech. they say it may move iran closer to getting it. stay tuned for that next hour. >> if benjamin netanyahu does win the elections, it will be another year and a half two years of icy relations with president obama. could be awkward. >>> in other news now, iranian foreign minister muhammad sharrive is expected to address the human rights council in geneva shortly. this is a few weeks ahead of the deadline. iran has to reach a deal on its nuclear program. the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has been negotiating with him will address the council. >>> police in hong kong arrested several people at a protest sunday over chinese traders. the demonstrators don't want people from the mainland to buy goods in hong kong and sell them back home for a profit. police appeared to use pepper spray on the crowd. at least one woman was seen bleeding. >>> thousands rallied outside of argentina's congress on sun

. >> for the latest on israel and the fast approaching iran deadline, we are joined by orrin lieberman live in jerusalem. and as we heard there, the israeli prime minister netanyahu talking about we will stand alone talking about israel being alone. what else is israel trying to do, and who else might israel be trying to lobby to bring in on side against iran and any deal made with that country? >> reporter: we've seen prime minister benjamin netanyahu pushing very hard in the political angle, if the story we just saw is the military angle. benjamin netanyahu has been stressing not only how dangerous the deal is to israel but also to what he calls the other moderate countries of the middle east and has been pointing out over the last few days we expect to hear more today. he says what's happening in yemen is a sign of aggression. he's reaching out to republicans who are here to support netanyahu. we've seen senator mcconnell here the last few days. senator mcconnell met with prime minister netanyahu, and he said if there is a deal, mcconnell would push for a nuclear deal. he said if th

here is cnn's orrin lieberman with more. >> reporter: israeli politics is about where you sit in this. this is the knesset. the israeli branch of the government. 120 seats, the most important seat in the center of that u the prime minister's seat. it's all of the seats around that one that determine who gets to sit there. ♪ here it is where voters don't pick a particular politician but vote for a particular party but no one party will win outright majority. the most successful part in the upcoming elections may win as few as 15 seats. what happens after the elections the political parties meet with the president and tell the president this is who we want for prime minister and who we would like to work with in the upcoming government. that person has a chance to put together a coalition government and put together a mantle of the seats here through political wheeling and dealing. because of the way this works winning the most seats doesn't guarantee that you're the next prime minister if you can't make the right deals. technically 61 seats is enough here in the knesset but most wants

of the senate orrin hatch of utah who has been in congress since the '70s.e very respectful. it will be interesting to see if there are standing ovations that cut across party lines, as we sometimes see when a president is delivering a state of the union, there were so many points of commonality between democrats and republicans with respect to the american relationship to israel so i would expect this to be a tone of support and putting some of the politics aside when you have a head of state here as a guest of the congress. for many of them it is a time to turn it down all of the pregame discussions are coming to an end. now it is time to listen and i am sure there will be a variety of reactions after netanyahu's address, especially depending how far he goes in send agoing a message to the american people. >> kelly, important to say there are a large number of democrats that decided not to attend that's a strong statement when you see the number of folks deciding not to show up today. >> reporter: it is about 10% of congress overall, roughly 50 members who

to republican senator orrin hatch who says that pretty much says everything.off the old ronald reagan thing, the government is the problem. what's your take? >> well, that's right. it is so big that it's almost impossible to manage. everything is coming down in this administration to the principal government controlling everything. the federal government controlling everything. when the president can issue an executive order that basically jumps as many as five million people over those who have been standing in line, the hundreds of thousands who have been standing in line playing by the rules, living up to the laws there's something wrong with that. the american people understand that. you take almost any other thing obamacare, my gosh it's wrecking the health care in this country. over time it's going to be so expensive we can't afford it, and right now it's pretty difficult to afford it even now. neil: but do you take any umbrage in that, senator, that you might be dragged in as republicans as well they're saying a pox on both parties' houses we don't like

orrin hereby man joins us -- lieberman joins you live. so how he going to pull together this governing coalition whose likely to be part of this and how tortured an arrangement will it be? >> reporter: it will be a lot easier than it looked last night after exit polls. this appeared to be a very close race with the likud and zionist party looking at around 27 seats apiece. now when we see the unofficial numbers, instead of exit polling, actual results from the ballot boxes, likud and benjamin netanyahu have opened up a significant lead a five-seat lead. this just a few days after it looked like it was the other way around. the last election polls on friday before the election showed likud four seats behind. netanyahu, the final days and hours, has turned this around given the likud party an unofficial lead of five seats, an enormous lead begin how far he was behind a few days ago. that's significant. he has a number of pears on the right that -- parties on the right that line up with the likud party closely. right now it looks like it woe

for more orrin lieberman is live in jerusalem.o here's the question -- prime minister netanyahu's focus has been on security and on iran. is that what's resonating with voters? is it more the economy? >> reporter: of course these are the two big issues -- security viewed as netanyahu's strongest issue, then the left isaac herzog focusing on the economy. that's where he believes the final undecided voters will go. he believes that's what the majority of israelies are worried about. those are always the two big issues. netanyahu has become an inner in the investigating because he's a polarizing figure. because he insight cites such strong -- incites such strong emotions. he's trying to make sure his voter base is energized. last night he came out in a rally that of course, no coincidence on the timing there right before the elections. he wanted to show that he's strong. tens of thousands of his right wing followers filling yitzhak rabin square. this after week of the left wing held its own rally. and the keynote speaker was benjamin

he and orrin hatch hatch, i think got elected bashing your dad. >> he says it. he came to washington to counteract my dad's vote, orrin hatch did and ended up cutting every deal in the world because he knew it was going to pass if ted kennedy signed off on it and he was sponsor of it boom, everyone else would say, well, gee, if they're for it, then bang. what a revolutionary concept. >> nothing wrong with a few base hits. >> nothing wrong. i think it was the personal courtesies, i go back to that. there isn't a person i talk to today that doesn't tell me all the time that my dad would write a nice note at some event in their lives and he took a interest in them personally. >> i heard you describe how great this will be for kids to learn. vicki describing it that way. i think there are u.s. senators that could learn something here. what we're describing how the senate -- >> future u.s. senators will -- may have had their spark of imagination born in a place like this. >> what with a your dad be thinking? >> he would be so happy. and then -- >> i can picture him c

netanyahu's speech and reaction in israel, let's bring in cnn correspondent orrin lieberman. he is live in jerusalem. good to see you. so the reaction has been mixed in the united states where prime minister netanyahu came to lobby against a sitting president. and then have that same president fire back all seem so publicly -- all seen so publicly. where does this leave the u.s.-israeli relationship, and can the damage be repaired? >> reporter: good morning rosemary. we've seen the same reaction here in israel where you have about half the people here and half the politicians supporting netanyahu's decision and half of blasting it as a bad idea. and that has been what you mentioned perhaps the number-one criticism we've heard in fallout from the speech that netanyahu has done damage not only in the relationship between the u.s. and israel but also the relationship between the prime minister's office here in jerusalem and the white house. netanyahu chose his words carefully. he started by praising president obama and the white house and tried to make this not a partisan speech

orrin hatch of utah called them out for skipping the address. >> they just acted like a bunch of spoiled brats who didn't know what they were doing. they looked ridiculous in worldwide matters. i mean in foreign policy, it just doesn't make sense. >> you want to hear more? watch susan page and me on capitol download sunday morning 8:30 here on wusa9. >>> what i'd really like to watch is the temperatures go up. >> we, can but now they are plummeting. they'll go up tomorrow, a little more on sunday, monday and i do have one 60-degree day on there, but i do have some changes. >> that doesn't sound good. here we go. >> see, gets the hope up and lets the air out of the balloon. >> with a big cold needle. >> we're going from 64 to 53. you can handle it. no storms this weekend, first time in two months i think. what will i do with myself? let's start with a live look outside, our live michael and son weather cam, temperature 28, only 30 today downtown. i got to tell you that's pretty impressive with full sun to stay below freezing downtown and a record low maximum of dulles 26 a high. our avera

orrin hatch said -- quote -- "i can't believe the senate has become so political that we would raise that issue at this time on this bill." the solution is so simple. take the abortion language out of the bill. the bill dealing with human trafficking is going to pass. if we don't do it now we'll do it. it's something that is imperative that we get done. but it should not be dealt with in relation to abortion. take the abortion language out of the bill. republican senators have a choice to legislate or hijack the debate. they want to get something done; they just need to take abortion politics out of this bill. they want to leave abortion politics in the bill, the republicans will only continue this session's record of dysfunction. now, mr. president, this is the second day that my friend, the republican leader, has come to the floor and quoted something i said a few days ago. every word that he quotes is perfect. that's what i said. but here's the context in which i s mr. president this is the second day that my friends the republican leader has come to the floor and quoted something
