burr and mikulski have put forward this bill after a lot of work by senator alexander and senator schumer to get the senate working again to allow amendments and debate, i have to say i commend them. i think that senator burr and mikulski deserve great applause and commendation, as do senator alexander and senator schumer. that's what i don't understand, madam president. everybody here knows i have a record of working across the aisle, sometimes to the chagrin of members of my own party, and certainly sometimes to the irritation of some of our very far right people in utah. why turn this bipartisan proposal into a partisan exercise when so many senators want to work together to fix the problems the american people face each and every day? let me be clear. i support what house republicans have proposed. it is a reasonable approach to paying for a full repeal of the doc-fix. almost every week, the white house delays or repeals another part of obamacare, so it's time for the american people to get a reprieve as well. it's the right thing to do. but i'm interested in a result. i want to fix t

i think senator schumer's comments were joined at that. host: carol is calling from baltimore. guest: my knowledge of enter is limited tool james bond movies. i always thought of it as a professional organization. my idea has changed. it seems to be a political statement when today's after the announced thatol they did not think it was an act of terrorism. guest: i think you raise a good point. i would disagree in terms of characteristics as a political organization. their constitution and bylaws specifically prohibit them from getting engaged in any activity of four areas. one of those areas is clinical related issues. that does not believe -- mean that people will not run afoul of those prohibitions. toon't think it is fair suggest that comment is reflective of the fact that there are political organizations. certainly, i think the fact that we are dealing with 190 nations raises certain questions in terms of how willing those nations are to share information. we see that in the united nations. host: where does the money come from? guest: it comes from the member nations. the

it was introduced by congress -- then congressman chuck schumer, a democrat. it was supported by jewish groups, even the aclu. it passed you unanimously in the house and signed into law by president bill clinton 8 months after it was introduced. in 1999 arizona passed an identical bill. this year kathy harris suggested some minor clarifications on arizona's law. that's what was vetoed by governor brewer. kathy now joins me. kathy, i've been amazed at the controversy here. this was a very relative minor change to a bill that was noncontroversial in 1999, 1993 at the federal level and was noncontroversial up until this past week. why the controversy? >> well, in my view, governor, a very small minority was able to make hey out of it to make the bill about something it wasn't. and the veto was for a bill that didn't exist. >> there were accusations this was going to bring back jim crowe. i looked through the jim crowe laws of the deep south where i grew up. i couldn't find anything common to that at all in this bill. it was very minor language changes. can you he
