a this all went public and robert kennedy and fred harris were on the committee and they hauled the unheard of in detective and the that they hired who was like out of a damon runyon novel for a hearing. anyway, the outrage resulted in the passage of the motor vehicle highway safety laws of 1966 signed by lyndon johnson. white housee to the for the signing ceremony. over a million lives and millions of injuries diminished. an impact on car imports because they had to meet u.s. higher.s that were host: back to this book you saw out that george will an accident outside of his house, walked outside, saw there was somebody deceased from the and endorsed the air bag. what relevance did that have to book? guest: it makes my point. he auto safety law was passed unanimously in the house of representatives. republicans and democrats. when you get down to people live and talk about death and jump and crashes and lost of loved the ideology tends to dissipate. writing, he as writes his columns and there was a crash in front of his home and saw a woman dead on the street and came back and said these pit

robert smigel. that was from smigel, yeah. this is weird. yesterday, senate majority leader harryd said that working with republicans is like trying to catch a greased pig. and it's a fine comparison for him to make if he feels that way, but i really couldn't believe how long he spent just talking about greased pigs before he made his point. this is real. take a look at this. >> i've been to a few rural rodeos in my life. one of the things that a number of these rodeos have around the country are greased pig contests. the organizers get a little pig, piglet, and they cover this little animal with tons of grease. it's a greasy little pig. pigs are a little slippery to begin with. [ laughter ] but you cover them with grease, they're really slippery. they try to scoop up this screaming pig. every time they grabbed the pig they slipped, the pig goes on about its business, so this is part of the reason i mention this. oft times, working with my senate republican colleagues reminds me of chasing one of these little pigs in a greased pig contest. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: even th

. >> let me -- >> robert -- >> let me let mark get in here. go ahead, mark. >> first of all, harryd said what is unamerican is when shadowing billionaires pour unlimited money into the democracy. they are holding a meeting begging them to pour billions of dollars into the democracy. that's hypocritical. that's the exact quote from harry reid. >> but -- >> i'm going to talk. can i please get my word in here? >> okay. >> the people you are talking here so beyond report, george surros made money from investing in companies funded by the obama administration and tom steyer fighting the case to an excel pipeline making billions of dollars from those decisions. >> mark -- >> i got to break in. thank you very much. >> can we try a quick fact check here? if clean energy programs keep you up at night, i'm sorry, mark. if you're offended by this, the system has to change. democrats are trying to do it and republicans going up for action. >> thank you. robert, mark, good to see you both. >> thank you. >> so from the white house to the front pages of america's newspapers, there were hundreds,

let's start with you, robert, and how will alison grimes combat that, and the strategy is to hold her down with harryand obama. >> well, the mcconnell strategy to try to make it a referendum about president obama and harry reid, but one person who is a lack of approval and the low approval rating is comparable to president obama is mitch mcconnell, and so for alison grimes to make the case of keeping the focus on mitch mcconnell and make it a referendum on the strategy is going to play well, primarily because the voters in kentucky can impact who the senator is and what they can't do is to change the white house, and one fact that is worth noting and not getting a lot of media attention is that in the primary turnout, there were 50,000 more votes coming out for the uncontested democratic primary than the mcconnell and bevin primary, and so there was more enthusiasm amongst democrats than republicans. >> and now, let's bring you in, chris. we were able to sneak up on the people in the past, and there is no sneaking up on the people anymore and if there is an incoumbent in a benign environment, they ar

roberts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you ms. burwell for coming. the senate majority leader harry reid last august was asked if the goal was to move the affordable care act to a single pay payer system and he said yes, yes, yes and similar comments were made by nancy pelosi and the president of the united states. did you agree that is a difference? it is your goal to see the affordable care act expanded beyond single payer? >> the law is a market base system and that is what it sign-up and running and putting people in situations that are private insurance systems. if confirmed i look forward to making that system work as best as possible in cost and access. >> one of my biggest concerns with the affordable care act is the independent payment advisory board. ipab. it was created by the law of. the board is supposed to be made up of 15 people that will say what needs to be reformed. they have no accountability and their decisions are impossible to overturn. despite having points any members, the president's budget proposed to expand the role considering the law requires reports in

robert, how crucial is this race for the establishment here? >> it's a major test for the republican establishment. it's a crowded primary. there are eight candidates. beyond till sxis greg brannon you have also mark harris, a baptist pastor who's been endorsed by former arkansas governor mike huckabee. so this is really a proxy battle for the current state of affairs in the republican party. and it's also a test for jeb bush, not just the establishment but bush himself. ahead of 2016 can he bet well, can he really help a candidate get through a primary? >> yeah. and you talk about that proxy battle and you see that, jonathan. we mentioned karl rove. that doesn't just bring a name that is popular in some republican circles. it brings money. 1 1/2 million from american crossroa crossroads, 15 million spent total in this race so far. >> yeah. and the importance of this race is the money and the people backing speaker tillis. you know, we are -- the primary battle is tomorrow. if none of the candidates gets 40%, there will be a runoff in july. and of course the establishment folks are hoping that tillis will pull it off so that they don't end up having a candidate battered and beaten going into a runoff who

robert, you will have a lot to say when this is over. thank you, gentlemen. >>> royalty is in the house. >> prince william and his brother harry are in theto stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also
