this being loot looks like tha what it is. >> orrin hatch is worried about a primary.emember what is happened to one of the most conservative members of the senate, robert bennett of utah, who was defeated by a tea party challenger. and lisa murdkowski was defeate in alaska. orrin hatch, richard lugar, sylvia snow, they're all threatened with tea party challenges and that's defining our political agenda today and how that's really hijacking our system of government. >> john. >> the one thing i'd add to robert's analysis is one of the things yesterday's lopsided and refreshingly bipartisan vote in the house showed is that the senator can hold. yes, you have organized extremes in both parties who oppose the solution even when the alternative was default. youed hat heritage foundation and club for growth, move on on.org and other groups on the left opposing it, but the senator held. as long as they clear the 60 vote threshold, the folks vote nothing can do it for all sorts of political reasons, but they ignore the larger responsibility which is to make sure that the natio

orrin hatch is, in fact, a very conservative senator but perhaps not conservative enough. tea party supporting extremely conservative republican congressman jason chaffetz of utah has been making noise all year long that he was going to go after orrin hatch next. he was going to primary hatch from the right, take that deep red republican utah senate seat and make it even deeper red. this week he finally made his big announcement about challenging hatch and he's not doing it. now, he hadn't just been hinting at this. he was telling everybody he was likely to do this. he was very open that he was going to kick orrin hatch out of the senate but he's decided not to run against him. this is not going to happen in utah. after orrin hatch, the other senator was olympia snowe of maine, up for re-election in 2012. the warning is she'll be replaced by hard right tea party challenger. well, there are some activist guys running against her, but frankly nobody who's making a dent, no offense intended, one of her challengers has made news by conditionally demanding olympia snowe resign.

this is a new one from orrin hatch. >> right. and it was a bipartisan program, under the first george bush, the earned income tax credit that said we're creating a lot of low-wage jobs, we don't know what's going on, a lot of people are working hard, but they're still poor, so a republican began funneling people money, cutting their taxes, and that was accepted. milton friedman thought this was a good idea, but now that's socialism. that's how far this country has come, that it's time to bash the hard-working poor people who aren't making enough to get out of poverty rather than help them. it's so mean-spirited. >> in terms of party, partisanship, in terms of ethnicity, the squeezing of the labor force, not just bringing in new hires, but to squeeze the people who are working, that's how we avoid recession. and now citizen united a call by supreme court that they could use all their power on television, in this medium, this is an assault on barack obama and they dare say he's being divisive? >> i keep calling it a slow-motion sec

is get -- [ unintelligible ] if you do a little research, senator orrin hatch going back to 1979 was pushing the -- balanced budget amendment. yet some of these people in the tea party movement won't look at the facts and they go after him. even within the tea party movement there is a disregard for the facts and effort to be disruptive even within the group. >> you will find that within any group. especially when it involves politics. to your point about senator orrin hatch, he is doing good in terms of trying to get a balanced budget. and he has been for the last couple of decades. he's pushed hard for some fiscal reforms that we have got to see i am -- implemented otherwise crony capitalism will continue out of washington, d.c. and we will continue on the wrong path and be bankrupt. people like orrin hatch, he's rising up with quite aggressive tack about the balanced budget amendment and other things that he has seen for all these years need to be done. we need to be agreeing and embracing his idea and working with him to make sure that happens. instead of shooing him away and

from orrin hatch. >> right. it was a bipartisan program. a program under the first george bush. earned income tax credit that says, okay, we are creating low wage jobs. last people are working, working hard, but they are still poor. so a republican began funneling people money, cutting their taxes and that is accepted. milton friedman thought that was good idea. that's how far the country has come is that it was time no bash the hard-working poor people that weren't making to get out of poverty. it is so mean spirited. >> you know in terms of ideology ideology, in terms of corporate power, squeezing of the labor force. to not bring on new hires, but to squeeze the men who are working and that's how we avoid recession. that's the new tool. now to have the citizen's united call bit the supreme court to use all their power on television. this is a real assault on barack obama. >> what the implication of what orrin hatch is saying is that we aren't all responsible for each other in the end. and he's right. have we spent unwisely sometimes? yes. is spending out of control? no doubt.

how will senator orrin hatch vote tomorrow? senator hatch goes on the record next. and democratic representative elliott engle is here, and says the tea party is refusing to accept victories. what is he talking about? does have it to do with the debt ceiling - hi, i'm halle berry, and as a new mom, i can tell you that childhood is a magical time. but for children with diabetes, life is not quite so carefree. the barbara davis center for childhood diabetes is fighting hard to find a cure. know the signs: irritability, excessive urination, weight loss. if you have any of these signs, please call your doctor. early detection can save your life. give to save lives and reach for the cure. call now or log on to childrensdiabetesfoundation.org. greta. >> greta: tomorrow night at midnight we hit our debt ceiling, and prior to that the senate will rush to vote on the new debt ceiling bill. fit passes the senate, the bill will get rushed to president obama's desk so the president can sign it before the clock strikes midnight. will the senate pass it? earlier today we caught u

i remember eight years ago, i had people working for orrin hatch's campaign, yes, orrin hatch ran fors a caucus, it's organizing and who are you going to play to be a surprising force. he didn't really make it that far. but it is a growing religion out here in the state of iowa. >> that's true. the romney people that i talk to, they don't like talking -- >> they don't like talking about how they do organize the mormon community. >> that's not really the issue here, my point is, why are we whispering, he's a public candidate, we should be talking about this. but it is a growing religion out here in iowa. but the question is whether that's going to be enough of a driving force to make him have a respectable showing here in iowa. >> they downplay these straw polls then more quietly they will make more of an effort than you realize. i remember six years ago at the southern republican leadership conference, they basically shocked people and it was actually organizing the mormon people in tennessee, they did the same thing at cpac. >> that's their playbook is to always lower expectations, a

[inaudible] they are prepared to do it again. >> that was 1861. >> do you have a statute of limitations on south carolina? >> but it is not just republicans. sanders, the independent senator, liberal. he is suggesting a primary challenge to the president. >> not going to happen. there is no way that the democratic party is going to undermine the first african american president in american history. it would be catastrophic. it will not happen. absolutely zero chance. >> his personal ratings remain high enough. >> they are not extremely high. then there is a disenchantment, and it began -- it was always a conflict between a president and congressional delegation of his own party. they know they have different interests. this relationship was really but should last decem

interestingly senator orrin hatch of utah who possibly could face a challenge from his right for re-electiong he won't vote for this bill because in his view it doesn't go far enough. senator david vitter of louisiana basically taking that same position, not on the floor at least so far, but in fact in a tweet that he sent out to people following him. a number of democrats also voicing a lot of concern about the bill saying they don't like some of the provisions inside it, there are concerns about entitlements, there are concerns about being able to raise revenue, in other words, tax increases. nonetheless, a number of democrats we've seen actually saying they'll vote for it with a little bit of heartburn. joe leash mieberman, the lined leans democrat, has also said he'll vote for it, too. back to you. >> i like that, a bit of heartburn. let's bring in gloria borger. lawmakers of course seem to be holding their noses and voting for this plan. is this a good deal for anybody and how does it shape the political debate for the white house and congress moving forward? >> well, it's a deal that t

we know that senator orrin hatch of utah, for example, is going to vote against this and he may be facing a challenge from a very conservative house member, and so you're going to have to see new members, new tea party members, how they're voting and it will be interesting to look at the moderate conservative democrats in the senate who are running or may be challenged to see whether they actually vote for this or not. >> i think it's clear joe manchin, democratic senator from west virginia, i think he's already made it clear he's going to vote against this. >> he doesn't like this plan. if you are from a conservative state, west virginia, he's a democratic senator, former democratic governor, but west virginia, if you look at the presidential politics of late, has been trending conservative. the general consensus among the political strategists is if you are republican or conservative democrat, the safe vote is to vote no. i talked to sherrod brown last night, from ohio. he will vote yes. he wants to say he voted for deficit reduction. liberal groups are angry with him because they think

you mentioned senator hatch coming up on the show. >> orrin hatch.rday that would have kept the faa sort of in business right now and, of course, the faa for all practical purposes out of business. it affects 4,000 workers immediately. tens of thousands of construction workers have now been furloughed for all practicprac practical purposes. if congress stays in recess until after labor day, that could be another five weeks and that could be a billion, $1 billion. so, i'm talking to senator hatch and asking him why he didn't accept that last-minute compromise that could have averted this. the president was pretty out raged when he held a meeting with his cabinet today before heading off for chicago. he was pretty upset about this. a lot of people are outraged. it's crazy to say what 10, 20, $30 million for some small airports out there, rural airports could cost american taxpayers a billion dollars. brooke, what we could be doing with $1 billion with all sorts of projects and maybe just use that money to reduce the national debt. $1 billion here and $

test the jobless kicking around the states for a couple years, and at the federal level, senator orrin hatchoposed drug testing to the unemployed. it was not something taken very seriously, and as you said, there's not really any data to suggest as the lawmakers in ohio are saying that our taxpayer dollars are supporting the drug habits of drug addicts. >> and one thing is the massive number of the long-term unemployed, and this is something you have written about quite a bit at the "huffington post," and what are the obstacles those folks are facing as they try to get back in the labor force? >> a new phenomenon that popped up in the last year is companies actually discriminating against people because they don't have jobs, and saying in job ads if you are unemployed you won't be considered or must be currently employed. but this could backfire. this might not be a smart strategy on the part of political strategists, beating up on the unemployed like this, because it's not the same as welfare recipients. the unemployed are not the same as poor people. to qualify for welfare you have to be p

republicans, like utah senator orrin hatch, have charged that democrats put loyalty to their union allies over extending the f.a.a.'s authority. >> correct the national mediation board, get union elections back to where a majority of employees are requisite in order to have a union, and i don't think there would be any problems. >> woodruff: if nothing changes, the f.a.a. could lose more than $1 billion from uncollected ticket taxes before congress returns from its august recess. in the meantime, the flying public has not benefited. in fact, nearly all major u.s. airlines have raised fares to what they would be if the taxes were still being collected. >> woodruff: for more on the impact of the shutdown and the politics surrounding it, we are joined by todd zwillich, washington correspondent for "the takeaway," a program on public radio international and wnyc radio. he also writes for the public radio blog, "transportation nation." and ben mutzabaugh, who covers the aviation industry for "u.s.a. today," and writes a blog called "today in the sky." thank you both for being with us. ben mutz

so is senator orrin hatch.are on opposite ends of the political spectrum whose faith doesn't really play into their policies on a micro level. which is i think the big distinction here. perhaps on a macro level their overall morals may come from some of the church, but on a micro level this notion that somehow mormons have a bat phone to utah and get called by church leaders, it's a little thin to me. and i think we hear that argument a lot and there's frankly just no evidence to support that. >> eric, i want to go back to tricia with this. tricia, there are like a dozen members or more of congress now who are mormon. mitt romney was a governor. we look at mr. huntsman. harry reid. do you see anything in their ruling of the government, in their leadership that somehow shows some nefarious means at work? >> well, their religion is based on a government of its own. the mormon religion teaches that they will be the government on earth, a one world government, the kingdom of god government, when jesus comes back to

senator orrin hatch tells me that member of the president's party could have easily ended this standoff if they backed down on provisions to make it easier for airline workers to unionize. >> they just think they've got a good political issue here and they're crazy. they're the ones costing $30 million a day and they're the ones that won't budge. they're the ones that want and it's all over that improper change of labor law. the power of the united states senate and house where bureaucrats just determine to overturn the law. >> senator hatch blocked the compromise agreement that could have been worked out yesterday. he'll be here. we'll have more of the interview in the next hour here in "the situation room." he'll explain why he decided to do that. >>> now another financial crisis. the city going bankrupt that its workers are being asked to sacrifice a big chunk of their retirement nest eggs. a nightmare we could see in more and more communities across the united states. let's go to cnn's mary snow in central falls, rhode island, watching what's going on. mary, what's it like there? >>

, and that's important for a lot of reasons but what is interesting about it, he did not select orrin hatchp senator on that committee. and so kyl is a leader and has the leadership's ear, and that's why he came on because he knows about the finance committee. pat tumi is another interesting person. senator pay toomt to pat tumi o pennsylvania. anybody that knows the club for growth, it's an organization that is concerned with cutting spending, and scaling back taxes in the united states. so he is one of the conservatives that will stand up on the idea that the problem is on the spending side and not on the revenue side. portman of ohio, a lot of representation from the midwest. rob portman is a former budget director under president bush. he is a guy that knows the numbers very well. he is also a guy that a lot of people are able to talk to. those are three interesting people that come on the senate side. now, the house side, suzanne, these are the choices from the house speaker, john boehner. he put in the republican congress chairman, hen scerling. he says the debt crisis is a legitimate

. >> you may look at mounting a challenge to senator orrin hatch. you no the process of the consideration? >> not trying to be coy about it. i'm seriously considering it and leaning towards it. i think once football season gets kicked off you will see us make some sort of announcement one way or another. >> shannon: all right. get the helmets on and the pads, too. thanks for coming in. >> shannon: nato is working to secure the remains of the helicopter that crashed in eastern afghanistan. 30 americans including 22 special op troops from seal team six killed in the crash along with several afghans as well. conor powell is streaming live with the latest. >> we are coverin -- recoverine helicopter is proving to be no easy task. the area where it went down there is a large insurgency and there has been heavy fighting this throughout many years of fighting between the u.s. and coalition forces against the taliban. we are getting reports of sporadic fighting throughout the day around the area where the helicopter went down. it is not clear if it is exactl

orrin hatch says there is an important principle here. last night hatch said quote i have been asked by our leadership to make these objections. what is important here is that you have labor regulators out of control. senator hatch says if the senate agrees to the labor provisions then the faa shutdown problem would be solved in a nanosecond. bill: a moment many in the house say they had no idea was going to happen. gabrielle giffords returned to the capitol last night. watch this season. [applause] -- watch this scene. [applause] she waved and smiled and hugged and blew kisses to colleagues. she mouthed the words i love you repeatedly. that is gabrielle giffords in the middle of your screen. in a written statement she says she couldn't take the chance that her absence would break the economy. >> i don't think there was a dry eye in our office when we saw the congresswoman on the floor of the house. this is -- she has always taken her job very seriously. she always looked at the trust that the people of southeastern arizona have placed in

and that is why you see someone like senator orrin hatch of utah who you mentioned, you know, like all senators only serves a six-year term, is only up for re-election every six years. he wasn't a tea party conservative six years ago, but now he's turned into one because he's getting challenged from the right. and the club for growth is going after him in utah. they're backing the house candidate, jason chaffetz, and he is running the race of his life. so even though he decided to vote no today because it's not good enough for the tea party, he's still not going to get their support. it's not going to work for him in utah. you see, that's why you see senator jim demint of south carolina, senator rand paul of kentucky, the tea party conservative republicans in the senate saying, no, this doesn't go far enough. jon: yeah. there are four members of the house, four republican members of the house who are expected to challenge for the senate. we took a look at their votes as well, and all four of them, all four house members including jason chaffetz who you mentioned just a moment ago, all

it talks about senator orrin hatch and what makes him a bonus by conservative.may face a republican challenger next year. does it say something about the way the political will has been moving. the geopolitical center of america has shifted rightward. what do you think about that and where does it leave you? guest: it is accurate. what we were talking about at the beginning is iconic change. the role of government is at the center of political change and a policy change. you saw that with great clarity last november. i regard it as a bipartisan revolt. many of the peoples and the tea party and independent in general were annoyed at president bush, who they felt spent too much in a variety of areas. they were very much against the bank bailout, the auto company bailout, against the large-scale stimulus package that we had a few years ago. loan modifications. it all seemed like government was running the economy. i know these are exaggerations, i think there is a revolt against it. it is a little different. when reagan was elected, there was a direct tax revolt go
