paul because they feel like -- >> who, who? moderate republicans? who are -- i'm sorry, who are they? i'm not sure -- who are they? do they exist? i didn't know they existed. >> nia-malika hendersonously one hour is not enough for toure. coming up, russell simmons says the nra can keep their yankee hat wearing spokesman and their african-american campaigns for themselves. stay with us. >> any male catholic can be elected pope. >> any male catholic, huh? i already know a male catholic who has an inside track on infallibility. the question is would o'reilly accept a demotion. zap technology. departure. hertz gold plus rewards also offers ereturn-- our fastest way to return your car. just note your mileage and zap ! you're outta there ! we'll e-mail your receipt in a flash, too. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. for over 75 years people ...with geico... ohhh...sorry!. director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw... for over 75 year...(laughs. but still trying to keep it contained) director's voice: keep it to

henderson. and columnist jonathan altar. what do you make of him not using explicitly, rand paul, the word citizenship?card and visas? >> it's hard to know at this point. you think if you think about marco rubio and how he went before the conservative audience and did not even mention immigration reform. he knows that this will be a hard sell to folks in his party. so that's why he is tiptoeing very generally around this issue. as you said, he didn't specifically say citizenship. there is a debate within the conservative movement, within the republican party about whether or not they should just do green cards or they should follow the senate's plan which suggests the path way to citizenship based on, i guess, it is 13 years or so. that's what he is facing. that's what all of these senators, marco rubio folks in the house will have to think about. what their base wants to do in terms of immigration reform. >> that is the crux of the debate. that 13 years and how to divide it to get to citizenship. chuck schumer of new york who is part of bipartisan group of eight senators working on immigration. he sai
