pallone: thank you. well, i think you've seen some clear differences tonight between the candidates on a number of issues, and i want to stress that i believe strongly that we have to protect working families, look out for the little guy and create jobs with good benefits and grow the economy. that's what i want to do in the united states senate. i very much model myself on senator lautenberg, i was endorsed by his family because they think i'm the person they think can get things done. they talk about me as the go-to guy. and like senator lautenberg, i will never compromise my principles. i was one of the first people who voted against the doma, the defense of marriage act, because i thought it was wrong. i was also a very early opponent of the iraq war, and i voted against the iraq war because i do think that you have to stand up for your principles. and we are democrats. we're all democrats. i believe in the democratic party, and i believe that i can make a difference. i mentioned the fight against oc

pallone raced. doctorslike to know how can help the schools? they siphon money away. a massive expansion of charter schools is not the answer for education for 15 million children. the idea -- the washington post -- that mayor booker is a vigorous proponent of this policy. have focused in on the troubled school district in comes intonewark destruction. newark has been a takeover district will stop paterson has been a takeover district. under the state's auspices, we the seen no improvements in operation of our schools. it is in your district, while it was under state control, that we saw massive fiscal impropriety in a state superintendent who contracted with a large company. we have not seen improvements with state intervention in schools. there is no question that there is political system that is involved with the school. competent have professionals and legislators to address the issues that affect urban schools. >> major bucher -- mayor booker talked about governor christie's economic programs. governor christie has been doing the opposite. he is the taking money

frank pallone is second and holt at third and oliver at 5% is sheila oliver.ed to find an issue that would add some momentum to their campaign for congressman hotel it's the debate over privacy. last month he introduced legislation to repeal the patriot act the legal basis for some of the nsa's intelligence programs. >> it's not simply unconstitutional. it changes the relationship between a citizen and the citizen's government. if the government regards people as suspect first and citizens second that changes the structure of our nature and reason for being. >> new jersey senate candidate democratic congressman holt joins me now. >> good to be with you. >> let's start with the issue itself. we heard last night president obama defend the program. he said he is skeptical of it too, but when you see the program, he swears that privacy isn't being violated. is that enough for you? >> it's not enough. really since 2005 when i was on the intelligence committee, i've been warning quite vocally about the damage that is being done not only in the authorized activities

" isoining us on "newsmakers senator patrick leahy. .hanks for joining us joining us for the questioning, phil mattingly, of bloomberg news. and legal affairs for cq roll call. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for being here. >> your committee has been at the center of two of the biggest debates, guns and immigration. as we head into this recess, i'd like to know what your personal top priorities are for the remainder of the year. -having a lot of quiet -- i've been having a lot of quiet meetings with members of the house. to get something on the president's. hearing this week, is getting nsa information on americans, i don't think there is enough transparency. i intend to work for some limitations and have the american people have a better idea how the secret court, the fisa court works. i want to do a number of other things. senator corner of texas and i are working on a way to get forensic labs. if somebody is going to be charged with a crime,

congressman frank pallone is next in the poll at 12%.ected a republican to the united states senate in 41 years. so the winner of the democratic primary is likely to be the next senator from new jersey. last night was the first time all four democratic senate candidates met for a debate. cory booker missed the first two debates. during the last debate mayor booker was at a fund-raiser for his campaign hosted by oprah winfrey. last night's debate was all about cory booker. even when he wasn't speaking. >> i should level at the beginning by saying i've never run into a burning building. i'm not friends with mark zuckerberg. i have fewer than a million twitter followers. >> congressman frank pallone went after cory booker on substance for his support for school vouchers. >> mayor booker has been very supportive of governor christie's plans with education, which means vouchers, which means privatization of schools. which you have to be extremely wary of. i'm very concerned about the fact that vouchers, which he supports, will take away fundi

do not forget the congressmen holt and pallone voted for the patriot act. this is where i disagree with congressman holt. the reality is there are aspects of that they need to be changed, but this needs to be done in a special manner because there are aspects of the patriot act about people who drive dangerous chemicals throughout state that empower police like mine better conjunction with our federal authorities. these are difficult issues, and a key right now is that we need aggressive for site and action by congress -- oversight and action by congress to keep people safe. we need privacy rights of american citizens. >> second question, we will start with you, madam speaker, and it is semi-related. mr. snowden has been granted temporary asylum. many people within the u.s. government are appalled by that. many are equally appalled by the treatment of the eight community in russia because of some new laws that have been adopted by the prudent administration. some say it is starting to feel like the cold war over again. should the united states reevaluate it

congressman pallone?> the terrorist warnings do not change my mind with the problems with the nsa. we have to protect civil liberties, and i'm concerned we have gone too far with this nsa program. i did not vote for the fisa amendments. i do not vote to reauthorize the patriot act as i was concerned about infringement on civil liberties. i think at a minimum we should say that any kind of information gathering that goes or is obtained through the fisa courts has to be only for a particular investigation, not just a broad brush that you go after anything that you may not even use. there has to be transparency with the fisa courts. their decision should be made public in most cases. we have to be worried about how these judges are appointed in the fisa court because they are not appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the senate, which they should be. again, i think we have to have a balance, but right now the balance is skewed too much toward surveillance and infringing on civil liberties

he defeated three opponents, congressman holt and pallone and sheila oliver. tea party candidate, steve lonegan, the former mayor of bogota, new jersey, he has won that one. the special election for the senate seat will be held on october 16th, a month before the november election for new jersey governor. cory booker said this a short time ago. >> it is such an honor to be your nominee. to be your democratic nominee for the united states senate. thank you. everywhere i have gone, i have talked about the need to bring people together. the need to find a new type of politics in america, the politics of getting things done. this is our nation's key hallmark. we are called to come together and build a more perfect union. this ideal is critical if we as a nation are going to achieve or highest aspiration. >> joining me now, msnbc's steve kornacki, and editor and publisher, first of all, new jersey way to pronounce this -- >> they actually called it bogota. >> all right, good, we're going to come back to that. steve, from the time cory booker got elected mayor, peop

at least two candidates most often mentioned as the front-runners, wayne county sheriff benny nap pallonhe former ceo of the detroit medical center mike duggen. duggen's road got tougher. first a judge ruled he would have to run as a write-in candidate. then came word of a late entry into the race. a barber named, ready for this, mike duggen. slightly different pronunciation. a way to potentially muck up the write-in process. the first mike duggen tried to clear things up about how to write his name in. >> i'm not going to spend any time criticizing anybody over it but we're going to work really hard. d-u-g-g-a-n. please spell it with two gs. >> joining me now, our next guest who was part of the panel of questioners at tuesday's debate. i know you're very passionate about what happens next in detroit. before i get into you breaking down this race for me on the campaign to be mayor of detroit, why does it matter who's mayor right now? the mayor's not going to have much power, are they? >> well, it does matter. because right now the emergency financial manager was appointed for approximate

congressman frank pallone was a distant second.ping over to the republican side, steve lonegan promised to give booker a pretty good fight this fall. >> the hollywood elite have descred descended from their penthouse apartments, from the hollywood hills, to come to new jersey to tell us who our next u.s. senator will be. >> for a special election in the dead of summer, turnout was better than expected thanks to booker's celebrity. but that's really not saying a whole lot. only 9% of the state's 5 1/2 million registered voters made it to the polls. not the worst showing ever. in 2006, they got the dubious prize. but to give you a better sense to compare it to 85 years ago, 54% of new jersey voters cast ballots in the state senate primary. now that number is, as we noted, in the single digits it the question is how long can it go. the results showing across the country in other elections this year. in los angeles, just 23% of voters turned out to pick the city's mayor. that's the lowest percentage in at least a century. eric garcetti

. >> congressman pallone is a noble person and has worked hard to do the things that he said. i'm telling you that we need to act. let me give you a data point. we now make up 33% of all the development in the state from the commercial developments going on in newark right now. that is because we have a speaker that helped out with that. that's because the government -- a governor, who i disagree with on most issues, who helped. we're bringing community activists together and extending apprenticeships for our kids. what i'm saying is that we can get this done. we need to have people who can bring people together in washington and bridge divides. we can do this. it is not time for excuses. there are too many people suffering in a tough economy. it is time for action and getting things done. >> the next question will go to madam speaker. >> i want to stay on investment. rather than taxes, let's talk about education. people view the most important investment in the future as educating our children. it is something that is talked about. however, changing it from washington has not
