well, ted olson. and, i mean, rob reiner, his jaw dropped, and he was with vice president gore, he and chad, on the night that bush v. gore was decided. they were at the naval observe to have, and they both drove down to the supreme court, and it was just this terrible night for them. but it sort of immediately kind of saw that this had game-changing kind of potential, to have someone like ted championing this cause. and it had the potential to turn it from what had been, you know, at best attar san fight into a -- a partisan fight about civil rights. so they then set out to find the plaintiffs. and ted, actually, had wanted a different kind of plan. like, he had a specific set of criteria. he wanted a bookstore owner, he wanted a cop -- [laughter] and i forget what the other two. they wanted six all together because they figured what if the opposition turned up something in somebody's background. they just wanted to have more. and he didn't want any children. he thought that that was a complicating k

ted bishop (clapping.) well, you know today is certainly a very monumental day in the history of pga in america and certainly in the golf community in san francisco i'm here to announce it the pga champing will come through harding park in 2020 and will mark the first time in the one hundred and 2 year history of the pga championing that will be played in the great city of san francisco this would not be possible - thank you (clapping) this certainly would not be possible without the great collaboration with the city and county of san francisco the pga tour and the pga of america and mayor ed lee and thanks to you and phil givens berg and tim this seems like another step in a lot of the things we've been able to accomplish working together in the past 20 months and look forward to a great future for the pga of america and iceland be remissed if i didn't say thank you to our chief officers (clapping) at the pga of america quite honestly we got this deal done fast and it was certainly not without they're grea

you know, what if ted olson had gotten his way? ted olson didn't want to trial. the trust things down. he also did want a bunch of things to happen to slow the pace down when it was in its middle phase, the appellate phase. so what if it had gotten up as fast as he wanted it to get? with the outcome of been the same? the concern here is not that everybody didn't share the goal. the concern was that five justices of the united states supreme court would vote and save these bands are in fact constitutional and ensuring that into legal precedent. the worry most people remember what had happened. ours was the case that preceded lawrence v. texas in the bowers case was essentially the consensus was a challenge to the statute and the consensus was weird to the supreme court does not like to reverse itself. and so, how much longer could this way? and the other hand, let's talk about the what if from the other side. with the people bringing this thought was that this wasn't just a marriage. it was about when a state says that certain kinds of relationships are worthy, bu

what is ted cruz up to?u have to understand the politics and shadow primary going on in the republican party for the last year or so. ted cruz has widely been seen along with rand paul as the primary contender for the right-wing base in the republican party -- >> ted cruz and rand paul. >> rand paul. they were the main competitors for the tea party, right? where ted cruz has tried to distinguish himself from rand paul over the past few months is on foreign policy and national security, right? >> there's a specific weakness rand paul has on israel. >> on israel. right. rand paul has actually for months, you know -- actually basically his whole career -- been the pariah within the republican party when it comes to israel saying, you know, too much of the republican foreign policy has revolved around israel. he wants to cut off all foreign aid. and he's -- rand paul has tried recently to get closer to israel, but ted cruz is being smart here. he's very strategically smart here by saying, you know, there's a --

so it's not just ted cruz. it's a lot of people, but ted cruz is the symbol, one man out for himself. no principle in this. he wants them to cut the funding for the deferring the deportations. it's not funded by congress. these applications, it's a self-funded program by application fees. they can't even cut the money. what he's trying to do can't even be done. that doesn't matter. what matters is grinding up the gears of government and making people believe we can't do anything as a country. and it's very sad. >> it's august vacation time. looks like congress is going to leave and not get this done, although there's a last-gasp chance tomorrow. look at this comment by the governor of texas. anger and outrage has already begun to pour in from members of the republican party after the house pulled the border bill. rick perry issued this statement. it's beyond belief congress is abandoning its post while our border crisis continues to create humanitarian suffering and illegal aliens pose a threat. congress should

week uc berkeley is going to produce another report, like the glass is half full and half empty where ted eagan said that 60,000 workers are going to benefit from this. we understand that over 100,000 workers from uc berkeley will benefit where ted eagan says the city will flow by the dollars. uc says 10s if not hundreds of millions of dollars will benefit over time. this is really important for the city and when supervisors campos talks about comparison to uganda, it's about time that we work hard to get this passed because it's going to benefit every single one of us, our children and grandchildren. thank you very much. >> thank you. before the next speaker, i'm going to call

mary brewer, a follower of ted cruz's online.proves you're reaching more and more people and vampires. so, i think people saw the humor that he was trying to address. >> right. >> one part bit i really took exception to the fact there was violence against a certain party. forget about which party it is. i think that can be insightful. if we live in culture to blame videogames and i think you can blame direct hit on another political party. >> hard to keep your mouth shut when you're called ah twice on television. >> i don't know. we hear it all the time. >> you know, it was, legitimate, gratuitous and disrespectful in my opinion. >> politicians love it. so many of them and they just love it. >> can not be that thin-skinned. >> they say, what should we say? craft a response. i've been there. i helped them do it. i think he should have said you know what, i have bigger fish to fry. >> how many in the vampire audience actually knew who ted cruz was? >> the hope they will google him and get more enraged. but you can hear more from th

ted crashes at a midway point. his friends continue parachuting down the canyon.e to move. it's too much of a climb back up the mountain for his friends to help him. so ted waits alone, scared and in serious pain. >> i'm immediately on the radio. >> i'm alive. i think i'm pretty hurt, though. >> i was having trouble breathing. definitely a lot of short breaths. just a lot of pain in my whole core area. i needed help. and i wasn't going to be able to get out of there in that location on my own. >> i can move everything. i literally put it all on my back and i'm coughing up a lot of blood. i don't know if i just knocked my lungs loose or -- >> by the time the rescue team arrives half an hour later, ted believes he's seriously injured. in an incredible piece of timing, two blackhawk helicopters happened to be in the area doing training exercises. >> having two blackhawk helicopters come in and fly into this 100 feet away from a cliff with flying shrapnel of rock, it was a dangerous location. they were 100%, you know, there to help and they are my heroes. >> the army

robert, ted cruz is at it again.tly trying to get house republicans to vote against john boehner's emergency funding bill for the crisis on what is, by the way, the texas border. what's the latest on this? >> ted cruz met tonight at his senate office with a group of more than a dozen house conservatives. he's whipping against the house republican leaders and this is putting a lot of pressure on speaker boehner. >> and so how many votes will ted cruz need to tip this thing over? >> he probably needs about 15 to 16 votes. and that's about how many people were at that meeting tonight. boehner is trying to adjust his floor plan. phone calls were going out to house conservatives. he may add another vote to sweeten the deal to hit obama on the border policy. this is another example of cruz working against boehner and putting him in a tough spot. >> apparently the democrats are all working against this bill. there used to be a method where democrats would vote for this bill knowing it's not enough but hoping in a compromise

machine to which cruz is referring is ted cruz.e chairman of the national republican senatorial committee, the campaign arm of senate republicans and an organization which knocked on 50,000 doors on behalf of a guy named thad cochran. ted cruz also by the way vowed last year to stay out of primaries involving incumbents but whatever, some people can never resist the fight or at least the appearance of one. joining me now is washington bureau chief of mother jones, david corn. they shall never surrender! >> i can hear that all day. >> we can play it on a constant. >> it does remind me of the guys after the civil war, the lost cause, we will never surrender, coming out with little caps and muskets s that's what ted cruz should have. the last point you made is really interest. every point is interesting but that one was really interesting. it shows just how, you know, conflicted the republican party is. here you have the guy whose voice chair of the national republicans getting upset because the senatorial committee won. >> did its wo

in between speakers the dnc played a seven minute long glorious tribute video to none other than ted kennedy. a reminder they are complaining about the war on women. so as if that wasn't bad enough they plastered the words women's rights champion in all capital letters across the screen on the video that they were playing in this arena. it was pretty amazing actually. for some reason they skipped over one of the most important and iconic moments of his life, the time he drove drunk off a bridge wandered away and left a 28-year-old royal campaign staffer who happen to be a woman to die in his car. no one dared to utter the words chappaquiddick that night. they weren't going to talk about in the arena and they certainly weren't going to talk about in the media but i sure had plans to talk about it later that night.

we have to go back to senator ted kennedy.aid it's all about greed and those conditions haven't changed. >> for ten years republican leadership have refused to let us get a vote on increasing the minimum wage. what is the price that you want from these working men and women? what cost? how much more do we have to give for the private sector and the business? how many billion dollars more are you asking, are you requiring? when does the greed stop? >> that was the senate floor, senator ted kennedy back in 2007. isn't it amazing, roll it fast forward to 2014, that conditions haven't changed a bit for the people opposing this. not raising the wage is all about corporate greed. recent job reports show minimum wage increases actually helps job growth. president obama highlighted this fact earlier today. >> today marks exactly five years since the last time the minimum wage went up in this country. that's too long between races for a lot of americans. now i've done what i can by requiring federal contractors to pay their employees a

he really had it out for ted kennedy. he wanted to get a secret service agent as his plant to feed him tactical information about what kennedy was doing. at one point of that excerpt president says don't get sky rolly, a legitimate guy. we have to get a stooge for us. he documents throughout the tapes, goes after kennedy's drinking, womanizing and all the rest. he wants to destroy kennedy. >> i remember he had a nonofficial agent chasing him off to hawaii and coming back emp ti-handed which wasn't popular with nixon. in late 1972, here is something nice. joe biden was elected senator from delaware when his wife and daughter were killed in aer car accident. it was a devastating loss for the 30-year-old senator elect later sworn in at the bedside of his injured son in a delaware hospital. the day after that accident, nixon called to console biden. let's listen to the phone conversation. >> hello, mr. president, how are you? >> senator, i know this is a very tragic day for you. i want you to know that all of us here at the w

talk prepared for this you've got a ted talk and finally somebody is interested in it in my ted talk i would explain in detail leave the ins and outs of how to sneak into congress and slip liquified silis i've been mushrooms into their coffee cups you want to. you want to get congress to pass because once congress are dripping all their third eyes will open and they'll realize they're committing spiritual suicide by sucking on the teat of the corporations and instead they'll start actually representing the people to create a more humanistic pathetic world. noble smart articulate nuanced and lightning in saying i'm well. i'll reveal my leagues to you i get it just play it cool. turn off the cameras you know ok so i found a report that the cia lied to the department of justice about how pervasive the use of torture was in their post nine eleven enhanced interrogation program they even took credit for extracting information by torturing detainees that in reality they got through less invasive measures now do you understand why i'm scared for my life and the second i remember that story

and i would make one more point, wolf, in what senator ted cruz said about our relationship.t is an unbreakable relationship. the rockets, it was the obama administration that helped develop and fund that system. this administration that is today, saving israeli lives. so again, interesting tale he is spending but not based in reality. >> so let's talk a little bit about the nature of what is going on right now. secretary of state john kerry as you know right now, the prime minister of israel, and when they met, he asked kerry, please, intervene with the faa and ask for the ban to be lifted. we now know the faa ban was lifted. did secretary kerry try to influence the faa? >> that is not how it works, he did discuss it when they brought it up. but this was a decision based solely on the new intelligence they had gotten from the intelligence committee. and there were mitigation efforts that the israeli government itself had taken. so the faa felt comfortable lifting the ban. so that is the only decision that went into this decision-making process. the secretary agrees with prim
