peter cook spoke with republican senator rob portman and they talked about the immigration issue as well as his issue -- his interest in running for resident. portman says he is still reviewing the president's request. faxed my concern about it as i don't know that it comes with the plan. the president has yet to give a sayingational address this should not continue, to send the message loud and clear to parents in countries like guatemala and el salvador, countries sending these kids, many unaccompanied, to the united states and our policy is not to accept these kids as citizens and in the misunderstanding is they could bring their families up. we do have an immigration system in this country and it will be for enforced. -- it will be enforced. flow into stem the addition to dealing with the aftermath of a failed policy. >> the president is making the case as he did in texas, that this makes the argument for comprehensive immigration reform. you did not support it last year. why is he wrong and why isn't this the right example for forgiveness? >> there's nothing in the immigration polic

but i think that if the entire republican party were to very quickly evolve and to adopt rob portman's decision, that arguing about technicalities would subside quickly and everybody would be pretty grateful that the issue was put behind them. then the parties could contest for voters on other issues. >> democrats have only evolved recently as well. >> well, look, the democratic party doesn't have a pristine record here on this from a partisan perspective. it's a debate we've had on the show. what you're referring to as a technicality some people would refer to as a moral fill os iph. if you were born long enough ago, you probably need to evolve. i think one of the questions is, do you have a political philosophy to explain why you do things not only out of pure self-interest? >> absolutely. that's right. brian, do you want to respond? >> i actually completely agree. i believe what's going to matter to voters and people most is that the country and their representatives come around to respecting their lives, their livelihoods. and if, you know, the politician in question came about for

so is this that kind of issue for rob portman? e available who is with them on all ten issues. what portman is wanting to see is what jeb bush is going to do. it's clear chris christie is on the way out but he is friends with christie and needs to be seen as not pushing him out of the way. there is room in the field for one guy whose the guy of establishment republican party interests. rob portman is very much in line with those sorts of people. >> right. >> paul singer who is one of the gop megadonors who robert mentions in his article meeting with portman is a key vacaadvoc of same sex marriage within the republican party so that group of people will be keen on portman and if there is a space for him in the field he'll try to slot in there. i think the same sex marriage thing is going to be a significant barrier with social conservatives who matter a lot in voting in these primaries. >> right. robert and josh are staying with me. next we'll talk about whether a new generation of alex p. keatons is in america's near future. someon

peter cook and highlights from his interview with rob portman.hil mattingly has a bloomberg exclusive

some like senator rob portman has a different view of marriage. but i don't see an ideological civil war but one about tactics and divided government. we saw that with the federal government shut down. the ted cruz wing versus the john boehner wing. do they differ on policy, probably not. they have a different perspective on how to and of the obama era. >> you spent time in mississippi , a brutal race down there. significant? >> it was significant. cochran was able to win by going after democrats and asking for their vote. i'm not sure we're going to see that across the map and 2014. some republicans like cochran and others are trying to broaden the electorate on the republican side. maybe that is reaching out to black democrats, to young voters. >> you can't forget haley barbour. one of the greats who work for me in the white house. [indiscernible] >> everybody agrees that when youexpand the party, how expand the party may be irrelevant to mississippi. i don't know if i would use the phrase tension. there is a healthy debate going on. it is only

if rob portman who made noise about running for president is the nominee and i suspect that plank will no longer be in the platform. secondly, what marco rubio is doing is a sophisticated are version of what cruz is doing. it's a flop, as you called it earlier. there is no foul here. he took a flying leap. what he's doing is something quite sophisticated. the christian community has long felt victimized. they felt like they were a minority. that people didn't treat them with with respect. that's what marco rubio is playing to here. the truth is many religions discriminate against people. they feel gay people aren't full citizens and some felt black people weren't full citizens. the mormon church changed their views in 1974 on this. you're a catholic, i was baptized catholic. it doesn't permit women to be priests. there are limitations on the roles of women in the church. that's church doctrine. it discriminates against women. the problem is marco rubio is trying to make a religious argument for the civil matter. we have equal rights under the law. he may endorse a religion that doesn't

senator shar rod brown and rob portman and it was far from contentious at the hearing today, senatorsboth sides of the aisle have welcomed mcdonald very warmly. >> it's tough for # anybody to envision why somebody would take this job. >> manner while, the clock is ticking for congress to pass a bill reforming the scandal in va. separate senate and house funding bills, ones that would allow veterans to seek outside care are stalled in conference. republican house members are -- cbo estimates to be around $30 billion. yesterday on the senate floor, majority leader harry reid blasted the opposition. >> it looks to me we're going to come back with something. why? because they have too spend some money on these people who were glad to spend the money to take them to war. but now they're back, they're missing limbs, they've got lots of post-traumatic stress problems. a lot of other medical issues. no money there. >> dave, it seems like people are very eager, people in congress are very eager to have a new secretary of the va, but whether they are as eager to actually fix the problem, remain

you could picture christie or rand paul, rob portman having to compete for cleveland's attention with lebron james, it would be an absolute disaster. >> maybe john boehner can sue lebron james. i am kidding. it is a story about cleveland, too. that's one of the reasons earnest was weighing in in the emotional way he was. this is the hope when he left, he would stay in ohio, give cleveland a fighting chance. do you think optimism that he is returning home will help the city, is that well placed optimism? >> look at the reaction, cars lining up for miles outside his home. this is one of the great storylines in sports. if he were to lead the cavs to the finals, it would be like the ending of a hollywood movie, cleveland would be going bonkers, but not going bonkers for republicans, which is what republicans would like them to be doing. >> it is amazing or not amazing, took all the negative five seconds for any ohio related politician to chime in. >> i don't know who won the official race, pretty much immediately my inbox was praising the decision, welcoming him home. good for them, good

republican senator rob portman agreed that career diplomats should be given a quick confirmation, but he defended the delay of political and more controversial nominees to cnn's jake tapper. >> the leadership on the democratic side of the aisle has chosen for the first time ever, at least in modern history to say republicans are not going have a voice in the nominees. the only voice the republicans have is to slow walk the process. >> there are those who are questionable, for knowing little about the countries they were going to serve. and jake, secretary of state kerry has proposed taking out those controversial political nominations and giving career diplomats a quick blocked senate vote just like they do for top military positions and that's a compromise even many senate republicans on which they seem to agree. >> thank you very much. >>> dozens killed and hundreds wounded as violence escalates. israel's president says a ground offensive is imminent if hamas doesn't stop the barrage of rockets as that area of the world ste away. the horror, the shame, the tears and even the preside

the headline, rob portman has an eye on the big stage in cleveland, saying i'm not eager to do it myself. i know what it's like, he said in a recent interview, but if nobody running is able to win and willing to address those issues, speaking about the run for presidency, then i might have a change of heart. portman is confident his position on gay marriage is not crippled his ability to be a national candidate, arguing it enabled him to connect to young voters. when they find out that he supports same sex marriage he said many shed the and takism they usually reserve for republicans. he can't become a national party unless you do a better job reaching to the 18 and 13. we are the votes of tomorrow. and we want them to listen to jobs and obamacare. from raleigh, nor cart line a. >> caller: all of these people calling in about immigration, if they knew the history of this country, immigration is a big plus to america. america is immigration. this is george bush's law about, and obama administration wants to change it. the democrats want him to. i think it's a good law, george bush put it

rob portman reports in ohio federal and environmental permitting alone increases project costs on average by 20%. the reasons that these delays are so expensive is, you know, all of these delays, all of these permitting requirements, they all require consultants to carry it out. all kinds of engineering and consulting fees that get paid, often on retainer over time. it also means that while waiting for a road or bridge to be rebuilt or restored, there is longer commutes, there is a big detour, there is more consumption of gas. that's all a waste of time and money. the bottom line is that projects cost more the longer they take. that's the reality. the fact is recovering communities don't need to have to incur these extra costs. i'll give you an example. again in pennsylvania. since 2010, federal environmental permitting

chairman of the house budget committee; meet with members of the budget committee like senator rob portman, who was also a former o.m.b. director; senator pat toomey, senator chuck grassley, senator ron johnson, a businessman and accountant. they know about these numbers. they've been working on them. they've been gorkting. they've been producing plans. he has no knowledge of that, cannot discuss it with them intelligently. he has shown no interest in it. i suspect he was stunned when he was offered this job. he sevenly ha certainly has notd himself for it. i'm saying, this is not the kind of person we need today. there's nothing in his background to suggest that he's up to the task that this urgent hour requires. more troublingly, mr. donovan himself has a poor record of financial management. at h.u.d. -- he was the secretary of housing and urban development. but at h.u.d. they received repeated and stark criticism from his own agency's inspector general. they appoint within these cabinet positions an inspector general who analyzes and acts independently to advise the secretary and the co

>> thanks, it's an honor to be here with my friend rob portman bob mcdonald to be the new secretary of the veterans administration. that, i'md to do also, i think it appropriate to ohioan and-time second of the v.a., one of the v.a. hospitals was in day ton ohio, and we have a long reputation for caring for veterans. we understand, there are veterans last year, and i assume roughly the same number this year, in the care system that have gotten care, some 85 million patient visits and the responsibility that soon i hope soon to be secretary assume is great. we know he's qualified as the chairman said. when the president of the united states asked mr. mcdonald to be the secretary in the v.a., we as ahis qualifications graduate of west point, as a u.s. army captain, and as a the most one of successful large corporations in with thousands and thousands of employees, and millions of customers all over world. so we know he's qualified to do this. we also know the problems we've v.a.in the ten years ago, decade or so ago the we went to war, government didn't really envision the number or the

party deep red state thing and ohio, where you've got john kasich who has tacked way to the middle, rob portman carved out a brand as something of a moderate, this is a swing state, as you mentioned, this is a better context for republicans to try to be seen in. >> i had a member of the site selection committee tell me yesterday that every question we needed a yes on the answer was yes. to mole's point, logistically could do it, had the hotel rooms and the money and new shiny arena. they could do that. plus you add on there's no big downside politically to having it there. denver, legal marijuana or phoenix where you've got 110 degrees or texas where you've got heat plus the politics, there's no downside there. in fact, politically there's an upside. it's the consummate swing state. molly is right, so consumed with it and it's forgotten so fast. >> you raised this long time ago, first one to write the story about pat roberts having some trouble because he spends all of his time, lives in washington and stays on a friend's couch back home. his opponent is trying to make hay of if you did not hea
