some of that talking seems to have convinced at least one republican named susan collins. she says despite the fact that people in her state may not agree with her, she has now come out publicly saying she will vote yes on that gun control package. the first republican to do so. she calls it a reasonable approach. betty. >> all right. a busy week there. thank you. >>> savannah guthrie, want to tell but this programming note, she will have an exclusive interview with president obama on gun control, immigration and other issues. that is tomorrow morning on "today." >>> late last night a former bus driver became venezuela's new president. the interim leader nicholas hudoro clinched the title by fewer than 300,000 votes. he's a protege of former president hugo chavez who died of cancer last month. the opponent is calling for a full recount. experts say our gas prices will unlikely be impacted. >>> the faa is ordering the inspection of more than 1,000 boeing 737 jets that could cause pilots to lose control after word that some parts could have factory defects. the parts in ques

well, i think you can take a little bit of heart from susan collins and susan collins is. i think you have at least some people in the republican party who look at what's going on. for example, the republicans risking being tools of the nra and blocking or gutting universal background check law. that's not going to lay in a lot of parts of our country all through the northeast and parts of the midwest on the west coast and the fact that collins feels some freedom now despite the tea party surge of three years ago, suggests that there were more republicans out there who said, wait a minute, we've got to change course and i think on the economics the republicans are still stuck with the 47% image and they talked a lot about the need to move away from what romney talked about. they have a lot of work to do and that polling suggests it. >> clarence, look at what paul ryan is saying on the deficit. let me show you this. >> we're saying, let's balance the budget so we can make sure that we don't have a debt crisis. >> as he's saying that, 64% of people polled say the top priorit

when a lobbyist for families of newtown shooting victims called the office of senator susan collins to set up a meeting, the first response from the office was a standard dc offer. they would get a meeting with her staff and perhaps a quick, simple hello from the senator herself. they were told the families' answer, not good enough. according to the lobbyists, the families have a rule now against staff only meetings. they won't do them. they insist on sitting down with the senators themselves. tell me about that. i know a lot of very highly paid lobbyists would like this deal. we want to see the senator himself. usually you see him sitting next to some kid trying to make their point and they'll take a memo. >> it's important as a former house chief of staff. if a family member after deceased came in looking for a meeting, we would take that. i think it's disrespectful to put it at staff level. out of respect at least, even if you disagree on policy, show respect to the family and meet face-to-face. >> well. >> i think this is changing. initially for reasons that you can imagine the fam

ad up now. >> susan collins doesn't sound like a mainer or a republican. call and tell her to oppose the gun control and to support the filibuster. >> first, obama's gun control. it sounds similar to obamacare. meanwhile it is the manchin/toomey. there we know what the individual ad is going after. here again we're seeing and hearing a lot from those who want to see gun safety regulations. it is not to be believed it is simfully nra that will put pressure on some of these lawmakers. >> but you know, the reality is that the brady group, the group name for secretary james brady, gave president obama an f during the course of his first term in office. and but for this spate of shooting incidents, i suspect we wouldn't be having this conversation. and this administration would not have taken the initiative. so to assert that all of a sudden, it is obama coming for your gun reminds me of radio talk show hosts in the first term saying there was going to be a ban on ammunition. and all of a sudden they caused a run on weapons as well as ammo. there is so much fic

let me play a clip of that. >> susan collins, call and tell susan collins to oppose obama's gun control. >> she's up for re-election next year. she's worried she could lose her seat to a strong gun rights democrat. she says republicans should be helping her and not turning against her. there was a pretty heated meeting about all this. fascinating, isn't it? >> she's frustrated by that. the group that you're talking about will e-mail fund-raising letters with endorsements from rand paul and rand paul's little network is connected to them. sometimes you have a reason for supporting a bill and sometimes it's the personal thing that pushes you over the line. when she's been talking to reporters in the halls of senate, she'll bring up this group attacking her and she finds it unfair. getting to what you were talking about at the top of the segment, what democrats are counting on here is we are used to a united nra coalition and gun manufacturers getting what they want and getting more guns out there. they are not used to this division between groups that are trying to one up each other. gun

. >> maine senator susan collins became the latest republican to publicly support the background check compromise, describing the bill to nbc as this, quote, a responsible break-through from two people who have far better nra rankings than i have. collins is up for re-election and under attack from gun rights groups. on sunday senator john mccain all but endorsed manchin-toomey. >> i'm very favorably disposed towards that. 80% of the american people wanting to see a better background checks procedure. >> but according to an early whip count that our own casey hunt is putting together, right now we have 53 senators in support of manchin-toomey, 36 opposing and 11 unknowns. as it stands right now, the maximum support for this amendment that it could get is 64 votes. the senate is expected to vote on whether to proceed to debate on the compromise as early as tuesday. our estimation is that it is probably going to get over 60 but sitting right around 60 or 61. now, senator chuck grassley is working on the nra with an alternative gun bill republicans could try to offer as one amendment or s

this chain fully in my opinion but virtually all of the republicans were a couple of exceptions susan collins and john mccain showed showed some courage but the rest of these people you know i know we need to have a very mature conversation about guns a good thing but the one thing that you have to be concerned about. talk about personal freedoms this question of this of a national registry and do did the bill provide enough protection against the development of a national registry and i think that was the biggest the bill explicitly prohibited a national registry how do you do this without having some form of a database that is that is so absurd that is like saying i'm we're not going to pass this piece of legislation that has to do with. you know bakeries because some day somebody might use that to say that everybody's you know has to stop driving cars i mean there's no all legislation today has come about just because of previous legislation he's exactly right as a starter is this slippery slope argument is that that is a caracal alice that we didn't get out to modernize less and we would

susan collins of maine says she will vote for this compromise. as she calls it it's a reasonable approach. we're standing by for what could be votes or some action on the senate side on both of these issues this week. >> definitely a busy week. all right. tracie potts, thank you very much. here's a programming note. savannah guthrie will have an exclusive interview with president obama on gun control, immigration and other issues. that's tomorrow morning on "today." >>> late last night a former bus driver became venezuela's new president. the interim leader clinched the title by fewer than 300,000 votes. he's a protege of former president hugo chavez who died of cancer last month. the opponent is calling for a full recount. our gas prices will unlikely be impacted. >>> the faa is ordering the inspection of more than 1,000 boeing 737 jets that could cause pilots to lose control after word that some parts could have factory defects. the parts in question help stabilize the up and down movement for the nose of the plane. the faa says these are just

obviously susan collins mark kirk deserve a great credit. kirk was one of the original cosponsors of this bill. and it is a -- it is not a progressive vision of gun control and gun registration. in fact, it has some very tough provisions to absolutely ensure there isn't a national gun registry. it makes it a felony for any federal official to keep records of gun tran actions and create a registry. for me to be presiding, i was presiding -- >> bill: you were? >> from 3:00 to 4:00 until the vice president came to preside over the vote. to hear republican senators on the floor denounce this as a democrat bill that would inevitably create a national gun registry was -- i think shameful. it directly misrepresented the context and the content of the bill. senator manchin leapt to his feet. he could barely control himself. he kept trying to interrupt senator cruz of texas. but you're wrong. that's not true! they got into quite an exchange about the actual impact. >> bill: as the president pointed out yesterday the nra lied about this. what's intere

the problem there is there are 14 republicans up in 2014, andrea, one of them, susan collins, sits intate that president obama won in 2012. and susan collins voted for cloture, that is to begin the debate and she voted for the manchin-toomey amendment. so of the issues are from mark pryor, mark begich. these are people that are democrats. i can't imagine president obama going after his own to prove his point on background checks organs. i could be wrong. >> heidi heitkamp is not up. >> not until 2018. >> i've heard this from other democratic strategist who is are working on house and senate races. the president actually was articulating the message that democrats are trying to come up with. sort of justifying how they, which is the idea of trying to isolate the republicans and say hey, the republicans in congress are not on your side. so you heard the president say, 90% of democrats were with the 90%, 90% of republicans were not so trying to paint republicans as out of the mainstream. >> what about the fact that he also criticized democrats. how did that go down with the caucus? >> i'
