there's nothing particularly newsy about ted cruz right now. he's not in the news any more than he has been. but boy oh boy, there must have been a memo that went out or something on the left, mike, about this guy needs to be brought down. and brought down fast. because if you hear the attacks -- i mean, everyone from bill maher, who calls him a steely-eyed -- he says he has the steely-eyed focus of a serial killer, to the msnbc host who compared him to a nazi sympathizer. and to the vice president. the vice president suggesting -- look at him, he's just a freshman senator, why would anybody listen to him? what's going on? >> well, what's going on is he's effective. here in the state of texas, people are enamored with this guy. they're impressed with him. he kind of rose out of nowhere. he's sort of a tea party darling. and i really do believe that these attacks are intensifying because the left is recognizing the effectiveness of a guy like ted cruz. he is getting things done. vice president biden, as you mentioned, alluded to the fact that cr

ted cruz is interesting.i think rand paul is trying to do the same thing. >> if i were trying to pick a really good candidate for the republicans, i would be looking at rubio because like both parties, you try to go center left and center right. you try to find a way of building a broad support for you, and use your brains and learn how to deal with the other side. rubio is trying to deal with democrats on something that has to get done for the republicans. who else is trying to get it done? >> you know there are two completely different realities clashing here. one is the republican reality and the other is the rest of the world. >> but you can't say that, because these polls are so close. every time there's an right versus left vote in the this party, you know how close it gets. >> yes. but when it comes to picking a nominee, the republican party is not interested necessarily -- a lot of people, a lot of the primary voters are not interested in finding someone who can win and cut the difference and negotiat

you can't not have a tax enforcement agency, and ted cruz knows it.body who does the flat tax knows it, you need the irs. >> you know, jonathan, speaking of ted cruz, he suggested we take the irs agents and put them on the border. he was sort of joking about it. but what it brings to the fore is hypocrisy from the republican party. other parts of the government like the irs should be abolished. >> yeah, it is sort of the schizophrenia of the republican party. it is not just right now, but sort of been there since the very beginning. government is too big, involved in all aspects of our life. but if you're a woman who wants choice over her own body and her own health care, well, government must be involved in that. if you are -- if you are a same-sex is couple and want your government to treat you equally under the law like everybody else, well, no you can't do that. government must be involved in this. so this schizophrenia that ted cruz is wonderfully displaying when it comes to the irs, he is just living the republican dream for lack of a better des

. >> while there are reasons to be bullish, there is always ted cruz.t on "now." when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals: help the gulf recover, and learn from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i've been with bp for 24 years. i was part of the team that helped deliver on our commitments to the gulf - and i can tell you, safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge safety equipment and technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all our drilling activity, twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. safety is a vital part of bp's commitment to america - and to the nearly 250,000 people who work with us here. we invest more in the u.s. than anywhere else in the world. over fifty-five billion dollars here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger. hey. whassup. guten tag. greetings earthlings. what's c

it's okay for ted cruz's father to bend the rules but ted cruz himself says giving 11 million peopleizenship, that's amnesty. >> in a nutshell, martin, that summarizes perfectly the dilemmas we confront in america. one generation of immigrants trying to block another generation of immigrants from coming over here. just because they were from eastern europe or because they were from italy or poland and the like, now people who come in from central and south america or from haiti or africa, you know, are opposed to a very serious way or those who come in from the middle east. so i think realistically here what we have to acknowledge is that america is built upon the strength of diversity. that diversity embraces all peoples, lands, bring us your tired masses, your teeming, you know, people here to america so that we can welcome them with open arms. now we want to put up fences 700 feet long. we want to, you know, have 30,000 more border troops. we want to spend a whole bunch more money on technology surveilling them. we know we can do that pretty well. the reality is that we have got t

i'm not saying ted cruz will run or get elected but if he did.ure that that's something that they are thinking about. because they want to have a work against that. >> no only that, if you set a precedent here, if you invoke the nuclear option and change the rules in the simple majority and do away with -- let's say they did away with the filibuster on executive and judiciary nominees, what's to stop republicans? we look at the map for 2014. they are not in bad shape for the senate in 2014 and still may blow it again. done tonight the last two elections. they could conceivably get to the senate in 2014. we are going to get rid of the filibuster altogether by simple majority vote. >> i think that's what worries about like levin. getting rid of the filibuster for nominees will not solve all of the problems with president obama's nominees. another norm that has been overturned is that traditionally when there is a judiciary vacancy in a certain state the president works with those home state senators and to come up with a nominee. and part of the re

m m marco hrubio, do you think the outrage from ted cruz helps him,

listen to what tea party senator of texas ted cruz said this week. >> i got to tell you, as a conservative, i cannot think of an idea more opposite what we

maybe ted cruz or rand paul or both of them. and then you may have candidates who are perceived as more moderate now like chris christie or marco rubio, ironically, because he also came up with the tea party. but will you will have them sort of playing different roles and waging that ideological battle and that is how this is going to play out in practice. gwen: the dream everybody says they want, both sides, is bipartisanship. if only we can talk to each other, the president said if he can just break the fever in washington. so today -- yesterday we saw him ominate james kwamie to be f.b.i. director or republican director in the bush administration. is that olive branch going to work? >> it will be interesting to see if it does. don't think it will because james was not exactly in line with the republican neoconservatives. remember, he was the one who stopped an extension of part of the patriot act when some of the more conservative members of the administration tried to get josh ashcroft to sign it. by the way, this is yet ano

ted cruz did the right thing. and i salute him for it. i do.hen they are doing the right thing. we want people to stand by. this is not a partisan issue. part of it is generational. part of it is newer senator haven't spent their careers in washington, so they see no reason to be differential to the old ways of doing things. and in this particular instance they are right. the military -- if they had it their war, the movie "the invisible war" would never have been released but i tell you there is an awakening now -- once you have opened the door, it can't be shut, and the flood gates have opened at this point, so sooner or later ji hope sooner, this change is going to come, and i hope president obama is watching this debate, and that the white house weighs in because he really should. >> michael: i know he is watching this show if he wasn't watching the debate earlier. so we're covered. earlier today the house judiciary passed a bill 20-12 that would ban abortion after 20 weeks. >> yes this is the same legitimate rape argument we heard two year

. >> ted cruz said this, quote. what would you say to ted cruz? >> i think he has obama phobia. the reality is that it is the gang of eight that came together, four democrats and four republicans, and said that we need a path to citizenship, that it's a tough path, it's a long path, but it's a fair path at the end of the day. we see in europe when people can't find a way towards becoming part of a country, the challenges that europe has faced, we don't want an underclass in america, and these individuals are going to have to earn their way, go through a criminal background check and pay taxes and learn english and after nearly a decade, they will get their shot. so i think ted cruz is fixates on this issue and it's amazing to me representing a state like texas he doesn't understand a pathway to citizenship is really what is desired. by all of those not only who aspire to become part of america but by the american electorate that in poll after poll says they want to fix this broken system and certainly by latino and immigrant community who overwhelmingly looks at this as a civil

for some senators like ted cruz that idea sounds almost sinister. talk about being a no person.'s watch him. >> senior senator from arizona urged this body to trust the republicans. let me be clear. i don't trust the republicans. and i don't trust the democrats. and i think a whole lot of americans like wise don't trust the republicans and the democrats because it is leadership in both parties that has gotten us in this mess. is nothing sacred? that's what they're selling. fellow tea partier from utah said it was a no go having a budget unless democrats agree to republicans' demands up front. there is a negotiation. let's watch. >> the american people do not trust secret back room deals and neither do i. unless and until the american people are assured we will not sneak a debt limit increase into the conference report i will happily continue to object. >> you know, mr. israel, congressman, i didn't understand these people -- i can call them all the names in the world and it won't make any difference. the fact is i worked on the senate budget committee for senator musky for three

let's just have ted cruz rule over us all. >> yeah, it's great. the thing that's so interesting is you do have aum these other laws that are supposedly fixated on stopping non-citizens from voting. but arizona, when they passed this law, they could only cite 19 cases out of 2.7 million people that had ever been, you know, non-citizens voting. meanwhile, there are like 35,000 people who weren't allowed to register to vote. this is like a very serious reality, particularly in states out west where you have indian reservations, native american reservations where people may not even have a birth certificate, where you have people born before 1940 who may or may not. somebody was born at home. there are all these circumstances where you might not have one. and the hardship of having to go get one and pay for one, it's basically a poll tax. >> yeah. and you're talking about ted cruz putting forth a commonsense amendment. which is a bit like tom cruise saying he's going to have like a relaxed and mellow media appearance. i look forward to seeing his comm

marie teresa, i'm getting the feeling that ted cruz has never met john boehner. >> you think so?here, ted cruz was the only senator from a swing state that voted against this bill. so that is to say he is not only an outlier among the swing states but the areas where they need the vote in order to be in office. >> maria teresa, what did your count tell you about how the vote was going to go today? i have to tell you i was surprised it was over 80. >> you know there is a lot of work happening behind the scenes. i think the fact the president not only had labor, but business and high tech and clergy demonstrating the unity of the folks working behind the scenes to make sure it happens. it has become very clear to republicans on the senate side to make sure that it passes. by having 84 members of the senate basically vote on this, on the affirmative, they're trying to send a clear message to the house that this is a bipartisan legislation and that we need a bipartisan fix. >> i want to listen to more about what the president had to say today. because this is not just altruistic, not

of the tea party people you're hearing ted cruz, mike lee, others like that. but you're not hearing rand paul. and the reason is exactly that. rand paul wants to run for president in 2016. so he's muting it on -- >> i think the difference between the 2014 strategy and the 2016 strategy is pretty pronounced. i am of the mind that even if immigration reform passes it is not like hispanics and blacks are going to dplok to the republican party. this is part of a longer-term proposition. >> it removes -- >> policy platform. >> remember, alex, the 2014 electorate is not the 2012 electorate, that's a given. however, given the pace of demographic change in the country, the mid ferm electorate is not the same as the mid-term electorate was four years ago or eight years ago. there's the possibility of some pressure being brought to bear on republicans running next year. because of the growth of blacks and hispanics as part of the electorate. >> i will say the axis of howard and optimism and pessimism has given us a 36 0-degree understanding of the issue. >> coming up du
