mentor to pat roberts. according to the wichita eagle, pat roberts who met dole decades ago when he was a marine, pat roberts calls bob dole the great man and spent years calling himself dole's bucket toter. pat roberts is the man whom elizabeth dole calls every time her husband is hospitalized. pat roberts will oversee bob dole's funeral arrangements when the time comes. they're very, very close. and that day on the senate floor, the reason bob dole was there at the senate was because the senate was voting on something that was very important to him. voting on the u.n. convention on the rights of people with disabilities which would take the rules that were established here in this country by bob dole's landmark americans with disabilities act and it would set out those rules as that model for the rest of the world to say we did this here and it works for us. this should be emulated elsewhere. we believe it could work elsewhere the way it worked here and it would be an advance for human rights. and while b

with more on this we have pat roberts of kansas. to remind viewers we have more than 50 deaths from the mistakes from new england, pounding pharmacy. it got a lot of coverage and here we are seven months later and the problems are even more widespread than we thought the fda says it will happen all over again. is that right? >> i don't think it's right with all over again but this danger is present. the situation of new england is such that 53 people died and 700 got very sick. it is a shame that has to be a catalyst to move on a bill we have been working on 10 years but we are trying to put out the problem of the major compact -- confounding manufacturers and the sale of drugs across state lines and with regulation of the fda to address the problem. gerri: view say there are two kinds of compounding pharmacies of the big one to send drugs over the place and then other custom of its. which one should the fda be involved with? >> the former you talk about the local pharmacy and what they do everyday to serve senior citizens or anybod

and kansas senator pat roberts sits on that committee with a lot of questions and consents, what do you want to know? >> i want to know why they lied to me, i want to know why i have a letter in my hand i senne clear back in july, i did not get a respond until 9/11 of all dates, i asked specifically, was there any targeting, steve miller. the man who president asked jack lew to ask him to resign, he is still there he did not fire him. i asked him, was there and specific targeting, he said no, i have the letter, is there anybody in this administration that will come clean. that is just not you want we're not getting answers. neil: we have gotten slightly different stories from jay carney and the president as to when the president knew about the inspector general's report. i'm wondering if this is the first of mmny inconsistenties? what do you hope to get out of the hearing beyond who knew what and when. >> we'll ask those specific questions, there is a criminal proceeding or investigation over there with the attorney general. i don't know if i really have that much trust with the attorne

but now today we've got republican senator pat roberts of kansas saying the attorney general ought toy, julian, what's your reaction to that? >> i think these are laughable. i mean, i think -- there were reckless allegations made in the fast and furious incident. the allegation that he misled the judiciary committee is totally wrong if you just read the statements and have the most basic fundamental familiarity with the facts here. you'll understand that what he said was fully consistent with what the justice department is, in fact, doing. even if there was an overreach in the fbi affidavit. >> yes. >> and i've actually had a conversation or two with mr. holder kind of in passing. i think when you hear these kind of reckless allegations made, what it does is it just makes eric holder dig his heels in. and i think it makes it more likely he'll stay for a much longer period of time. no serious independent authority is going to tell you that in fast and furious or in this case that there are merit to any of these reckless i lesless allega been made. >> thank you for clarifying the issue.

consider let alone make such a bigoted comments is frankly just embarrassing and a very very ugly pat roberts on a recent episode of the seven hundred club the televangelist defended gay conversion therapy because as he claimed religion can help reform murderers and rapists take a. the power of god can change people's orientation a murderer can change a rapist can change a faith can change that's what the gospel is all of that well i guess is nice to know that pat is on the side of reform when it comes to issues of criminal justice book impairing homosexuality to murder is just plain bigoted and very very ugly coming out small business in america is on life support with fewer and fewer americans becoming auditors each year now conservatives blame obamacare and so-called excess i'd rather regulations for hindering the growth of small business in america but in reality there's only one thing to blame for the demise of mom and pop shops on main street usa i'll tell you what that is in tonight's daily take. let me let me i want to know why don't let me ask you a question. here on this network is

there is a vote on the senate floor, vote on amendment to the farm bill by pat roberts of kansas. the senate judiciary committee has been working on amendments to the immigration and border security bill and we will have live coverage when they return here. another note about hearings, one we are covering tomorrow in the house, house oversight hearing looking at the i.r.s. targeting of conservative groups. one co is reporting that will invoke her fifth amendment right not to incriminate. they say she is the one who triggered an investigation that wrongly targeted conservative groups. we will have live coverage on the networks tomorrow. back to immigration, the committee came in earlier today and gaveled out midday. when they return for the afternoon session, they took up an amendment offered by senator cruz. the provisions from the underlying bill. a i call up cruz 3 and i have second dre amendment that will clarify that this would not impact those who are granted asylum and i ask unanimous consent. >> without objection, it will be amended by the second degree amendment which crea

come up with names like marco rubio, like mike lee, like rand paul, like pat toomey, like scott walker. >> not necessarily, robertpeople who are winning over middle america right now. as we mentioned, he's not a fan of marco rubio's signature piece of legislation on immigration. earlier this week peter king said he would skip last night's dinner because of that superstorm sandy no vote. and now chet connelly, the chairman of the south carolina republican party says, well, conservatives think he's a rock star. when you look at those disconnects from other members of the republican party, is that basically a microcosm of the divide in the gop? >> yes, there's no question about it, that the republican party has a very diverse set of ideas and opinions about where the party should go moving forward. do we stick with the inflexible, intolerable party of the 1950s or do we move forward to a dynamic, very inclusive party for the 21st century. what's interesting about what senator cruz said last night in reference to the future of the republican party, say whatever you want about the politics of those people that he ment
