but-- did richard pryor damage you? did richard pryor damage me? yeah, you listened to richard pryor when your mom felt it probably wasn't appropriate. foul language. unless you had a very early richard pryor album. he started me off cursing, for sure. 'cause i curse like a sailor. but i'm grown. and when i got into richard pryor, i was 16, 17, trying to sneak that turnt-- but at the same time, there was a balance of, okay, my parents knew who richard pryor was. and they said, "yeah, i know richard pryor, but no, you can't listen to richard pryor." and so therefore, i just went on outside, because i'm not gonna get no turntable. but it might have been different if i was able to get a cd player or a cassette walkman. your concerns about parenting are echoed all over this country. but you are chuck "fight the power" d. yeah, but to my kids, i'm "daddy."

marking pryor, a c minus lifetime from the nra, usually not in the pockets of the nra.publican runs against him had will likely be an a-plus nra candidate, all the republican candidates in arkansas are. you can't do it in a vacuum, can't just look at pryor and say, we're going to show him a lesson. if you end up getting a republican who's worse. what i would love to see the mayor doing, in addition to going after people like pryor, is getting involved in some of this more movement building and recruit people to run against these types. >> let's listen to mark pryor's response. >> i'm committed to finding real solutions to gun violence while protecting our second amendment rights. i'm mark pryor, and i approve this message because no one from new york or washington tells me what to do. i listen to arkansas. >> if you listen to arkansas on the republican side, as blake mentio mentions, the other republican senator has voted to have national conceal and carry, voting to say the gun manufacturers shouldn't face lawsuits. it isn't necessarily true you can ensure or guarantee

we have mark pryor last week.ng shut off the source of money to these senate democrats. we have a clip. i'll play it. this is bloomberg explaining his strategy, his rationale for doing this. this was on "morning joe" thursday. >> the first thing i'm going to do is get it through the senate. then you focus on republicans. i've been running more ads against republicans than against democrats. then you go and you sit down with boehner and cantor and the leadership on the republican side and the house and say, look, if you want your members to get re-elected, they should vote with the public. >> so, that was wednesday, not thursday, by the way. but, george, i'm curious what the reaction among democrats in washington is. it seems complicated because on the one hand he's hurting some of his own but on the other hand his money helps them, too. >> you see schumer and reid say this is a bad idea. the public is already here. when you have nine out of ten supporting background checks. you don't have to worry about winning ov

pryor: mr. president, this is amendment 1298. it is the pryor-johanns amendment. i think the good news here is we have agreed to a voice voavment but what this does is it requires the department of homeland security, as they're doing their hiring to beef up the border, to hire veterans of our armed services. this is really a win-win all the way around. our vets have, as we know, a higher unemployment rate. but also they happen to be the best-trained, most disciplined. they have that can-do spirit. and they make great employees, as many of us know. we also know that our veterans know how to complete a mission. with that, i'd like to yield the floor to senator johanns. mr. johanns: mr. president, i thank senator pryor for bringing this amendment forward. i very proudly support it and concur. it can be voice voted. thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: is there anyone who expresses opposition? the senator from arkansas. mr. pryor: inned that we're able to dispose of this amendment with a voice vote. so i ask unanimous consent that the 60-affirmative vote t

is it mark pryor? jeanne shaheen?> it's been the democrats inability to be funeral fied in support of this. is that right? >> actually, i don't think that's it. you know, if you voted for it, you've got to lean into it. in 2010, i think there was a lot -- first of all, going back to the poll, i was going back to this poll over the last couple o years. it only broke 40% once. july of 2012. if you look back at the last midterm, about 36, 37% and there were a lot of democrats wondering whether or not this was popular enough to run on. people like harry reid said guess what? we spent the last year half working on it, we're going to lean into this thing. harry reid leaned into it, said i voted for this thing. hear the great things about this. wee going to work to fix anything that doesn't work. >> stick around. we've got a lot more to talk about. still to come, alan krueger, he joins us from one of his last tv interviews as a senior white house economic. but first, the longer serving member plays favorites. is speaker boeh

i'm mark pryor.e because no one from new york or washington tells me what to do. >> all politics is local. a poll out this week found a majority of arkansas voters actually support background checks and more voters there say they'd be more likely to vote for senator pryor had he supported the manchin/toomey compromise. i am very suspicious of those polls. we make meeting times, lunch times and conference times. but what we'd rather be making are tee times. tee times are the official start of what we love to do. the time for shots we'd rather forget, and the ones we'll talk about forever. in michigan long days, relaxing weather and more than 800 pristine courses make for the perfect tee time. because being able to play all day is pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. and those people are what i like to call... wrong. take metamucil. sure it helps keep you regular but it doesn't stop there. metamucil has psyllium, which helps lower cholesterol, promotes digestive health, and helps maintain h

today mark pryor responded. >> i'm committed to finding real solutions to gun violence while protecting second amendment. i'm mark pryor and i approve this message, because no one from what washington or new york tells me what to do i listen to arkansas. >> michael: but abchording to a poll, 60% of arkansasians support background checks. >> overwhelmingly it show there is significant support for background checks, but clearly the nra and others in stateslike arkansas, or in states like alaska where you have mark becketts, or heidi heitkamp in north dakota, you have a strong culture, and i'm here in texas, and clearly the gun culture is very strong, and even here in texas some polls indicate that texans support the idea of reasonable background checks at gun shows and such but the politicians who hear from zealots and very strong sources in the nra, appear to be frightened of reelection. >> michael: that's why republicans are starting to get excited about your state and others, because you see the progress. wayne slater thank you as always for coming on the show. coming up we revisit the

now the nra is also going on the air to defend pryor. the radio ad mentions the 2008 murder of arkansas democratic chairman bill quatny. don't let this point escape you. where are they going up with cheaper radio spots and, by the way, looking, where are they going to defend mark pryor. interest groups on both sides are determined to bring guns to the forefront. what's still unclear is who it will help. yesterday you saw former congressman patrick murphy who is a senior fellow at the center for american progress says he believes guns as an issue is going to help democrats in 2013. >> i think virginia will be ground zero for gun votes. will show virginians believe in background checks. >> call me a skeptic that the gun control crowd can play offense and succeed in a lower turnout election year. virginia could be an interesting test case. history has shown that particularly in these nonpresidential years this issue is not usually a good issue for the gun control side. finally today, hillary clinton makes her chicago play. they share the st

mayor, lawmakers like mark pryor say they are listening to the constituency. making, that just is not true. how much of this is really about the g the gun lobby? >> we all know how strong the gun lobby is. there is something very important, this happening in america right now. that is, people who are forward thinking and the overwhelming majority of americans who support lawful background checks understand this is a scorecard issue. the people voting against reasonable gun reform and violence are now going to be judged. more and more, a voting record inline with the gun lobby is going to be a more damaging trait or characteristic than the future. as you know, folks used to be able to vote however they wanted on issues related to gun violence. there really was no real political consequence at the ballot. that is changing radically in the united states of america, largely because of the work of mayors against illegal guns. really, because what has happened at newtown, at aurora, and now in santa monica. these folks that are voting in the interest of the gun lobb

and we tend to agree with victor, the right target here are people like mark pryor and mark baggage,ly ayott who know better and should have voted for the bill and didn't and could lose because they failed to support this. i think the problem is if mark pryor loses, i don't think he will, nobody will say it's because of his vote on guns. >> senator joe manchin who coo-authored the gun control bill talked on "morning joe" of supporting the gun bill in his home state of west virginia. take a listen. >> i work on all sides of the aisle and these are all my friends. they know it's right, too. and you know what? guys, listen, if i can do it in west virginia and tell you that you have to go home and work it, you can't back off of it. if you know it's right, what other purpose do we have here? >> is he right about that? is there a duress of people willing to do maybe what they think is right? >> well, i don't think he's right about it and politically clearly it hasn't been something that enough people have gotten behind. and no one yet has paid a price for that, so i don't think you'll see

it they are mark pryor of arkansas, max baucus, heidi hide camp, and mark begich. according to the "new york times," those four lawmakers have raised more than $2 million from new york donors. >>> although bloomberg support for gun restrictions is backed by much of the base and the country for that matter, his push to publnish democrats coul complicate efforts to keep control of the is that the. we'll talk to mayor bloomberg on morning joe. >>> a key portion of a military sexual assault bill will be dropped. democrat senator karl levin said he's taking out a provision that would give military prosecutors power over which sexual assault crimes to try. >> victims have told us they said they're afraid to report because they're concerned they will, retaliated against or marginalized or actually blamed. what we expect from the military is that they don't want to change anything. they want the status quo. in fact they have said they will not support taking this decision making out of the chain of command. i think that is wrong. i think anything less will not result in a

pryor: mr. president, members of the senate often come to the floor and talk about our men and women in uniform and their incredible bravery and sacrifice that they make for our country. and that's true. we certainly honor them and appreciate them for all that they do for our country as they serve us overseas. however, there are other men and women in uniform who also serve our country by serving our citizens and our communities, and those are our policemen and policewomen and others in law enforcement as well as first responders, and generally. they wear the uniform as well. i rise today to honor two heroes from arkansas. last week we lost a sheriff and a game warden who were trying to help victims of a flood in our state. these two first responders answered the call when there was an emergency in a dire situation. they jumped in their vehicles and headed to the danger. they got into a boat, and they went to a home of some victims who were stranded and very much in danger by the flood waters. a

pryor: mr.esident, in the next few short days on july 1, the interest rate for subsidized stafford loans are set to double. the problem there is that with the subsidized stafford loans you're talking about students who tend to be lower income. many of these students are first-generation college students, and they tend to be people who work the hard toast get what they have, they tend to not have very much money, not very many resources, and not very many connections. they just don't really have a lot of advantages. mr. president, we've had several people from around the state of arkansas email or write my office. one is donovan, he's a father who worked construction to support his kids. he has two kids in college, one in the marines, and one about to graduate from high school. he can't afford to pay his living expenses and for him and his family and their education without the help of student loans. kim is another person. she is a first-generation college graduate who is working to pay off $85,0

that's my argument. >> hal: from the point of view of people like richard pryor and eddie murphy andncluding lenny bruce made the case that the word was so poisonous for so long that there was a thought form that if we use it amongst ourselves we'll take some of the power away. and that was the choice -- wait a minute. that was the linguistic choice to do that. but it is a specifically racial term. every other word that you brought up can be used across race completely. would you not agree? is it difficult -- >> caller: no. >> hal: well, and if you want to use a similar -- what i'm saying -- >> caller: it is discriminating. >> hal: there can be ugly black people and ugly white people. there can be women described as bitches that are black and white. there are people who are fat what have you all of the derogatory terms we have for people's character or physical appearance that are across racial divides. would you not agree? >> caller: i would not -- no. because what i'm talking about is not the racial part of this. it is the discriminating part of it. there's a difference. >> hal: i

pryor: i understand i'm not supposed to call my amendment up but i would like to discuss amendment 1298 and if it were appropriate i would like to make it pending but i understand we're not quite ready for that. i'm offering this amendment when the time is right, madam president, because i think it is crucial that we have the strongest possible border protection system in place if this bill in fact does someday go into law. to that end, i would like to ensure that we have the best trained personnel securing our borders and overseeing the activity that contribute to the safety of our nation every day. therefore, i am proposing an amendment to require the department of homeland security to set up a program to recruit highly qualified veterans of the armed forces as well as members of the reserves to fill crucial positions within customs and border protection and immigrations and customs enforcement. the security provision -- the security provider by these agents depends on the line watch agents who identify and apprehend undocumented aliens, smugglers and terrorists. it depends on the agr

it's pressure from the 94% of north dakota ans who disagree with heidi highcamp's vote, senator pryor'ss coming from. those senators absolutely violated the overwhelming wishes of the people they represent, because they were afraid of the gun lobby. unless we believe we have to have responsible controls on gun violence. unless we become single issue voters, single issue donators, nothing's going to change. and we'll be hear for the rest of our lives. >> okay. >> you know what you're talking about, governor rendell. thank you so much, you've been fighting those guys for years in pennsylvania. bob herbert, i think you might be right, we're going to wait and see. i'm going to wait on this one, see how it works out. we'll be right back many i do a lot of research on angie's list before i do any projects on my own. at angie's list, you'll find reviews written by people just like you. i love my contractor, and i am so thankful to angie's list for bringing us together. angie's list -- reviews you can trust. the wright brothers became the first in flight.

i'm watching senator pryor and joe from west virginia.s who is said they will vote for it then you have a lot of guys who are getting there really quickly. the amendment was from bob corker. i think he's a yes on this. you're very quickly getting not only to 60, which you need to cut off debate and have a final vote on passage but you're getting up to 70. i think at the moment the ceiling is probably 80 votes. they'll probably get closer to 70. there's about 15 to 20 republican senator who is are eyeing each other because it's a lot easier to be the 70th vote or the 75th than the 61st. you're taking a lot more political heat if you're 61 than 75. >> i'm impressed you did that without the white board. that was pretty good. do you agree, do you think they get to 70 yes votes? is it plausible. even if they do what happens when this goes to the house? there's no guarantees there. >> i'm very impressed with reid there. 70 is possible. the 80, i did raise my eyebrows bit. you're not seeing senators reacting to their own rea re-election campaign

>> senator mark pryor from arkansas.his pro -- rather he came out against background checks on guns and ran an ad this week that got so much national attention for doing it and really prevented people from defining him. so i think did he a really good job, regardless of where you stand on the issue of defining himself. >> morris, yours, best and worst? >> my best week is jamie dimon. this guy is a real boss. looking at a star on wall street it is jamie die month. i can't believe he survived it and going to ride it to the bank. my worst week is the russians. what in the world is going on with them saying they want peace but they are shipping arms to syria? this is gonna have far-reaching implication and i think the wrong side of history here dealing with syria. >> patricia, how about yours? >> my worst, erick erickson for saying that working moms are antette threat cal to naturer. i'm the daughter of an amazing work, mom, i'm a working mom. if anything is antithetical it is a caveman. >> patricia murphy, susan dell percen
