graham got the call from the senator. she called evan i could hear her voice on the phone. now i think it's meryl streep's. [laughter] evan charmingly but ineffectively quoted philgramm who had said maam i'm sorry but your husband this is supposed to be the first rough draft into wonderful mrs. graham voice. it doesn't have to be so bleak so raw. [laughter] >> so i think they captured her. >> several of us knew her and she would have been beyond thrilled. i just think how much he would have loved that portrait. she was cut out of -- she's not in that movie and it's kind have been needed correction of the record. >> is there someone that you think of that has a wonderful historical portrait whether it's a novel or movie. >> i'm always worried when we decide to historical figures and interesting enough and tries to update them more. some of you may have seen the movie with kevin costner and kevin costner says he's a caring feminist demand which is unconvincing given the times. maid marian is there proto-feminist who insists on women having equal share in what's going on around nottingham. i'm a bit worried when we tried it recovered people and bring them up to dat

negotiations, we do have an update from one key senator, phil mattingly has been watching all of this for us on capitol hill. senator lindsey grahamtor graham, is significant in and of itself. tell me what he said. >> he's pessimistic, pretty downtrodden, making it clear what the path forward would be for a long-term daca resolution that the point in time, he doesn't actually see it. brooke, that jives largely from what i've seen from aides in both parties right now. there will be a senate debate on an immigration bill next week. that will be an open debate. majority leader from the republican party said a short while ago that will be fair and balanced. he won't try to tilt it one way or the other but the senate does not make law. the senate makes a bill and then they have to decide what the house is going to do and what the president is going to do. why there's such a divide right now, brooke, look at the proposal on daca. basically nonstarters at this point for democrats have to be in there for the president to support t the house and speaker paul ryan said again this morning, the house will not move forward on anything related

graham as opposed to your bernie guy. are both parties setting up to be the epic nationalized looking primary. >> i guess. florida is a weird race. because remember philach is running as an outsider. er the former mayor of miami beach and a member of the clinton machine in good standing. >> so he's suddenly trying to be a bernie guy or a progressive. >> he's not. he's trying to test the theory that you don't have to run too far left. he's in a democratic primary saying he is a self made business man and that is not what make democrats' hearts go pitter patter. >> and what does that do to graham. >> she's a weak establishment front-runner just like adam putnam in the gop primary. it is going to be quite a bloody battle so to speak. i don't want to be too dramatic. >> i hear you. what about the role -- what will the role of a gillham play in the democratic primary? does he finish or is this the self funder in the graham family? >> andrew gillham has been able to hang on when people had written hisso bituary and the only african-american and if anyone is a buernie candidate i is him because he's speaking out of the true progressive playbook. >> and befor
