hillary clinton said they had weapons of mass destruction, ted kennedy said it, all the democrats said it, as well, so everybody was wrong. >> i didn't say it, and everybody was wrong. >> all right, you were right for once. but healthcare is going to be the biggest problem. implementation of obamacare. >> it is a train wreck just ahead. i would say january 1. >> i would agree with patrick. patrick j buchanan in the crossfire tonight. good to see you death. >> good to see you. >> here to grade the first 100 days of the president's second term ahead. and why do we continue to allow radical extremists who hate the united states enter the united states and live off our hand outs? ann coulter is here in the studio and she will answer that very important national securit it's a brand new start. with centurylink visionary cloud infrastructure, and custom communications solutions, your business is more reliable, secure, and agile. trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone, my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels

this includes senator ted kennedy. it was in the public record. i read the mri scan when he had his brain tumor. it is not that he was my patient. he sought out the best doctors in the country to help him. in the political world he was pushing single-payer health care for the rest of us. i think you make a broader point. we seek a way these barriers. but we even have put into law how we will pay for medical care either in project care centers or outside of their own countries. because they cannot handle the access problem in their own country. so i'll be in the u.s., while we somehow have been moving toward a more naturalized system, the countries that have the experience -- they have made significant movement towards privatization. >> there are people watching this interview and they will be saying to themselves, well, he is a doctor. he makes xml and of dollars. he needs to make less dollars, he is making too much. >> well, you know, i think it's been said many times, but it's not a surprise. unfortunately, i don't make that much money. but that

doctors sought out frequently including many you are not on the record the one who is was senator ted kennedy was a proponent of single payer health care and this was in the public record, i read the mri scan when he had his brain tumor not they he was my patient but he sought out with all of his power the best doctors in the country to help them even though in the political world he was pushing for single payer health care for the rest of us. and a broader point* is when you look at the other countries whether canada or england or all others in western europe, they not only individually seek out ways around in their own country they put into law to pay for medical care either in private care centers or outside their own country because they cannot handle the access problem. so while we are moving to a more nationalized system those that have that have made significant movement to privatization. >> host: scott atlas people watched the interview and say he is a doctor and he makes x amount of dollars and he needs to make less and he makes too much. >> i think that has been said many times. it

he is thinking about running for president, the cameras are on every time we know, ted kennedy would run he would drop 50 pounds. >> this is a man that appeals to a lot of independents and democrats. >> he does. it was not just his position, it was a family decision. >> give him credit. >> i give him credit for doing that. it is not my business to say that he needs to lose weight. i need to lose weight. his politics fit with this country. >> a point of personal privilege on this. as somebody who has been accused of having more chins than the beijing phone book, i want to address this. chris christie is doing the right thing for his family, his health, and for 2016. he is the only elected office holder in the country who has favorable rating from republicans, democrats, and independence. that is the gold standard. >> a winning combination, charles. >> an extremely attractive candidate. it is none of our business, he is right. it is unrealistic in the state to imagine that it will not be our business. woodrow wilson had a stroke in the country did not know about it. eisenhower was in t

our friend ted kennedy was right. i believe the time for commonsense immigration reform thahas come. i'm sorry that senator kennedy is not alive to see the widespread, bipartisan support of the legislation being considered today in the judiciary committee, legislation that i will shortly bring before the full senate. senator kennedy would be very satisfied with the efforts of the gang of eight -- four democrats and four republicans. even though ted kennedy was known as one of america's great progressives, his legacy is that he worked with liberals, conservatives independentand independents. he worked to get things done. that's what the gang of eight has done. this gang of eight has done it in addressing a critical issue facing our nation. and he would applaud the diligent work of the is that the judiciary committee under the leadership of his longtime friend -- stherved together in that committee -- they served together in that committee for, oh, gee, it must be four decades, mr. president. kennedy and leahy, they did

he later served as a top deputy for attorney general janet reno, he was special counsel to ted kennedy and served as the president's advisor on civil rights issues. he was also director for civil rights at the department of human health services. tom, you will find, is passion ate and committed to equality and justice for everyone. tom, more than anyone i know, makes every single day in his life matter, whether it's focused on anti-bullying work, voting rights, disability rights, housing rights, the eighth amendment, immigration, hate crimes or human trafficking. tom cares about all of those issues to his core and he works every day to make the world a better place. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome assistant attorney general tom perez. (applause). >> good morning, it's an honor to be back here. i got to spend some time last night with my brother who lives down the road apiece, his daughter is a sophomore in high school, she asked me if i wanted to go golfing at the presidio, i said i can't walk that much, i just had my knee replaced. melinda has been an incredible partner, it's a p

but one of them who is on the with senator ted kennedy bridge was up on a single-payer health care and i feel good because it was in the public record. i read the mri scan of him and it is not that he was my patient. even though in the political world he was pushed as a single-payer health care for the rest of us. when you look at these other countries, the single-payer system, whether it is canada, england, or all the others in western europe, they not only seek out ways to access their own country, but they have put into law that these countries will pay for medical care, either in private payers concepts or outside their own country. they could not handle the access problem in their own country. so i'll be in the u.s., while we somehow have been moving toward a nationalized system, the countries that have the experience of nationalized system have made significant movements towards privatization. >> scott atlas, there are people that will watch this interview and say to themselves, he is a doctor. he makes this amount of money. he needs to make left of a salary. he is making too muc

of those i will never forget there was one to be an expansion of medicare as proposed by senator ted kennedy that should be reason enough to have opposed it but we looked at the numbers and we said this isn't the 2 billion-dollar increase, it's really going to be closer to 10 billion. >> kennedy had fairly good friends in the congressional budget office say let's get rid of these young whippersnappers and send it over to the congressional budget office. well they did. the office if kim backend said the number was a little more than 10 billion. they justified our number, discredited kennedy's number and said to the people maybe we can rely on these and then of course mandates for the leadership came along. you tell that story so well in the first paragraph. >> the thing about writing this mandate was again, fairly small, modest organization on the budget and so forth. we made a commitment to giving the mandates, the leadership before ronald reagan was nominated or e elected. that makes you in my book a pretty big risk taker. >> a couple things happened along the line. we had guys like william

why are republicans always better at this, ted kennedy really running or tip o'neil. this ability to villainize a person. pete stark, you get the real liberals but they are not as interesting as nancy pelosi because she's san francisco, she's attractive. people know what she looks like. she looks well-off. something bugs people in the deep south about her. >> well, no question. she's always been a fundraising bonanza. >> seven or eight times in that one debate. >> right. that's a question of values. since nancy pelosi san francisco values versus mark sanford local values. vote your values. >> why do democrats always have to be liberalized by their number. >> look what happened to scott brown in massachusetts. you know, he lined up with, you know, on the supreme court with scalia and that was very damaging to him. i think it depends on your audience. >> scott brown at least tried to distinguish himself from the far right of the republican party because he knew he was running in massachusetts could. colbert-busch have done more to distinguish herself from the democrats

they threw eggs at ted kennedy in those days. boston was full of racist and hate.boston, my boston. his seat has been occupied by white guys from south boston and the political world thought it would always be even though there are more voters in dorchester. last night, the boston globe called the primary election for billy's seat for the white guy, once again. but linda from my neighborhood in dorchester refused to concede. instead, she gave a victory speech in english and haitian creole. today, with all the votes counted, the winner in the race for what was once billy bulger's seat in the massachusetts senate is the dorchester daughter of haitian immigrants. she will be the only black member of the massachusetts senate. and she'll be my next guest. it's not my boston anymore. that is a very very good thing. i'm telling you right now, the girl back at home would absolutely not have taken a zip line in the jungle. i'm really glad that girl stayed at home. vo: expedia helps 30 million travelers a month find what they're looking for. one traveler at a time. expedia.

. >> ted kennedy said it -- stop. >> we have a president that was impeached, that was a criminal, ander individuals under him -- leslie, leslie, let me -- leslie, let me say this. they denied requests for security before. they were told, we learned yesterday, on two occasions to stand down and help those americans that we knew were under attack. we know that they had the original talking points right, and they altered it. all has to be seen through the prism of an election, leslie. all of which we deserve answers to. >> no. >> yes, yes, leslie, we do. >> you are reaching. you are reaching. >> the families of four dead americans -- pat? >> look, leslie, no, you are not reaching. they altered the talking points to put forward a story that was a total and complete fabrication, but which helped them on the road to the election. and they would not have been helped if people found out and discovered right then, look, friends, this was al-qaeda, and the story line that al-qaeda is on the run is untrue. al-qaeda is active right in the country we are supposed to have liberated. >> pat, you kno

they threw eggs at ted kennedy in those days. boston was full of racist and hate.oston. his seat has been occupied by white guys from south boston and the political world thought it would always be even though there are more voters in dorchester. last night, the boston globe called the primary election for billy's seat for the white guy, once again. but linda from my neighborhood in dorchester refused to concede. instead, she gave a victory speech in english and haitian creole. today, with all the votes counted, the winner in the race for what was once billy bulger's seat in the massachusetts senate is the dorchester daughter of haitian immigrants. she will be the only black member of the massachusetts senate. and she'll be my next guest. it's not my boston anymore. that is a very very good thing. flying is old hat for business travelers. the act of soaring across an ocean in a three-hundred-ton rocket doesn't raise as much as an eyebrow for these nse sky. however, seeing this little beauty over international waters is enough to bring a traveler to tears. we're put

in 2009 she told a minnesota radio station the bill trying to expand americorps, ted kennedy bill, volunteer program like the peace corps at home here, was really going to lead to brainwashing in education camps like in cambodia. let's listen. >> i believe that there's a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service, and the real concern is that there are provisions for what i would call re-education camps for young people. where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward, and then they have to go and work in some of these politically correct forums. >> so she put it all in one sentence, right? let's get it straight. very strong chance that we're going to see young people put in mandatory service to go into americorps? a real concern we're going to have re-education camps, obviously refers to cambodia. they're going to be forced in those. trained in philosophy the government puts forward. then they have to work in some politically correct forums. she puts it all together. an entire life of being controll

up for reelection in 2008, who offered those poison pill amendments against president bush's and ted kennedy john mccain's immigration bill. i just point out that senator cornyn supfor reelection next year as well. >> woodruff: let's talk about benghazi. very much in the news the last few days, michael. this is, of course, the outpost in libya. it was overrun. the u.n. ambassador was killed along with three others. new information today about the state department changing the so-called talking points that were going to be given to administration officials. what-- where is all this headed now? >> well, it's worth pointing out, at the outset, even at the worst, this is not watergate. i think we'rwatergate. what we're talkch talking about is a cover-up-- if there is a cover-up-- of negexpwrens incompetence and not criminality and that is the difference. but this is an unfolding, rapidly moving problem for the administration. the testimony this week showed that the people who were closest to the crisis, that were in libya, knew exactly what was happening, and they reported it up the chain of com

ted kennedy saved social security with tip o'neill.tion is whether or not, and this is the test for the republicans. if this guy runs in 2016, and i think he's going to run, are republicans concerned about winning as richard said a minute ago? or are they -- and electing a guy who's mostly conservative. or are they concerned about making the purist ideological point? >> well, let's not get carried away making him a winner in 2016. >> i said he could be a winner. >> what i'm talking about is people suffering going through a disaster like sandy, like oklahoma, and where public figures and politicians put that aside. i'm not about to say he's a winner. and i'm not about to say that he's worthy of that in terms of his policies. but i think the president put it right when he says that americans want to come together around these kinds of crises, richard. >> right. look, republicans were opposed to chris christie for getting close to obama. but they were also opposed to sandy relief because of budget arguments and offset questions. we did no

reagan, but this is a guy who made a deal with tip o'neill to save social security, worked with ted kennedy with the soviets. those would be great offenses today inside the republican party. the only reason we haven't moved faster on the filibuster is because harry reid is worried about trying to hold together a fragile coalition on immigration reform, which even if it passes the senate, will probably go to the house to die. but when we come back in july, we ought to do this. >> look at how many judgeships we have open in this country. look at the national labor relations board. it's almost their strategy to make sure they can take it down. this is kind of working good. so bob dole is a republican of the past. and, you know, it just seems to me that it's going to be real hard for them to get power again in the senate, because this faction just isn't connecting with enough people. demographically, karen, they've got all kinds of problems with their way of thinking. >> well, absolutely. and every, you know, new thing we see, they're sort of further alienating women voters, leeati voters, afri

to them but with the liberal policies have done the liberal policies all right and you know when ted kennedy the united states are running on every last three reaganomics was the great society cut poverty in half in the united states in five years already has any of that on your home when you know about the thirty three years of reaganomics it's death some very sorry we've seen union membership go from thirty three percent year on percent down to seven things that they were going we're seeing our schools fall apart i am going to understand the. things about free trade organizations and the complete deregulation of industry and they got single visconti going all the coffee because you know did america under the euro yes you're a liberal america it was better to have people in a loving way factory jobs than to have them starting their own bit what is it being entrepreneurs because anywhere it works great on one of the great now if you're going to learn it well that's working pretty of the american was and is working for the best you're right james glad more i jacked up where i got really you k

it was sort a mass abortion that resulted in a senate hearing and an inquiry by senator ted kennedy ofings we have had in this broadcast is an interview with one of the doctors a doctor who was one of witnesses in that hearing talking about this awful weekend event which kermit gosnell, 42 years ago wanted to make a statement about abortion, a political statement. he did this thing, nine women were severely injured. the fellow we have --. >> megyn: he hasn't been shut down. i want to talk to you about how that happened. an ongoing question. with all due respect tom ridge, who served our country noblely, he is one of the main guys, the grand jury pointed to as saying he is the one, a republican but a pro-choice republican who shut down inspections of these clinics because he and those around him believe it would put up a barrier to abortion. >> this was a place where homicide was occurring on a daily basis. it was for financial gape. this is something that shed a light upon across this country. this isn't the only clinic operating like that. you have to have the inspections and you have

before there was a tea party, orren hatch put his name on a bill with ted kennedy, who was a close friende the children's health program. he signed on with the original mandate. he proposed an early version of the dream act. he even tangled with jesse owens with the act reached the senate floor. >> i never heard once in this chamber anybody say to the homosexuals, stop what you're doing. do you realize that if they would stop what they're doing, there would not be one additional case of aids in the united states of america. >> senator, i don't agree with that. there wouldn't be among homosexuals, but there certainly would be other cases because of the prevalence of the disease right now. >> i don't agree with him that if all homosexuals quit having homosexual contact that that would end the aids crisis. i don't think it would. >> that's the orren hatch the world knew until the tea party started winning, something that scared hatch. he was up for reelection in 2012 and he wanted to keep his job. so he changed. he went full tea party. orrin hatch, a guy who was okay with the original mandat

senator durbin reminded me that those of us who served with senator kennedy, ted kennedy's key staffer in the last immigration bill. those of us who have had the opportunity to work with ted remember that. senator feinstein. >> just a couple mr. chairman. i think for those of us sitting at this table this is the only chance we are going to have to reform what is a very broken system and to bring a lot of people who have worked very hard in this country out of the shadows. so i think for most of this is probably just about the most important piece of legislation that will come out of the committee and i want to say thank you to those who have worked on it. i want to thank senator hatch who helped with the ag jobs part of it and senator schumer. i have one concern and i want to express it. senator kyl and i for years were to try to get the full funding of the federal responsibility to pay counties for jail detention and prison payments. this is called this gap program. over the years the federal participation has just dropped in more and more of the responsibility has fallen onto the loc

remember senator ted kennedy was on the watch list at one point. he couldn't fly. you're on the terror watch list. senator kennedy. >>steve: let's talk a little bit about benghazi. as it turns out, the inspector general at the state department is looking into that blue panel -- rather the blue-ribbon panel that took a look at what happened. it was headed up by former u.n. ambassador thomas pickerring and former joint chiefs admiral mike mull len. they tried to figure out what happened wrong. in the end they said systemic failures in leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels -- below hillary clinton -- were to blame for the inadequate security at benghazi. it looks like hillary and other high-ranking officials off the hook. the problem was they did not talk to a lot of the people who actually knew what happened. >>gretchen: the key witnesses -- in this past week we've been talking about these whistle-blowers who want to come forward but for whatever reason can't get attorneys -- to get through the red tape to represent their stories. then you hair mr.

former employer here in the senate, our former committee chairman of the help committee, senator ted kennedy, for whom senator -- for whom tom perez worked here in the senate. but as he explained i at his confirmation hearing, he also learned from senator kennedy -- quote -- "that idealism and pragmatism are not mutually exclusive." mr. perez knows how to bring people together to make progress on even controversial issues without burning bridges or making enemies. he knows how to hit the ground running and quickly and effectively become an agent of real change. now, that's exactly the kind of leadership we need at the department of labor. we need his vision. we need his passion. we need, yes, his character at the helm of this important agency. now, allow me to state very clearly that while i know there has been generated controvers controversy -- generated controversy -- not real controversy but generated controversy -- surrounding mr. perez' nomination, there's absolutely nothing that calls into question his ability to fairly enforce the law as it is written. there's absolutely nothing that

i'll go back to ted kennedy's statement, some say report to be deported, i say report to be made american citizens tavepls political equation for those on the left, they understand they get vote out of this deal. the people who get to vote out of this deal will know who that vote for. i talked to those who saw their citizenship process accelerated in 1996, a million people got moved into early naturalization process in that period of time. i talked to people that were beneficiaries of the 1986 amnesty act. they all understood where the political leverage was in this. the people in the 1986 amnesty act said, it was good for me, good for my family, i think we ought to give toyota everybody. people in 1996 who had their citizenship accelerated, they knew it was implied who they were to vote for in the re-election in 1996. we've seen as african-americans have been moved into a monolithic voting block. part of that is, let's see, i'll just suggest this, mr. speaker, that the people on the other side of the aisle understand how to divide people down their lines of race, thnicity, national origi

i worked for ted kennedy and i was one of the people ahead to that the judge is an individuals. and i will tie you, i love the time i worked in the senate. director senator durbin, hatch, alan simpson. it was the place where you work together to find solutions. i can tell you i would not work in the senate today because of the fact that people go when to make a difference. like you said, it not about you. it's wanting to change the world. it's wanting to see results. if you don't see an institution functioning to get to those results coming are not going to be inclined to do that. the next question is this wonderful young people want to serve. it's really a wonderful afternoon of the fact people want to serve. the question is, why? is it to change the world? it is to change the world, i can tell you don't people are turning to other institutions. one of the biggest mistakes. and he went to the military. one of the biggest mistakes this country has made as a volunteer military because it's through coming in outcome assertive men dating to to serve your country to meet people from

in 1985 ted kennedy, harry reid, joe biden all supported giving public sector employees the flexibility to choose comp time. mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to support this bill. i cannot think of a better mother's day gift. this is something we can do right now to help families at a time when they need it most. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from north carolina yields back. the gentleman from connecticut is recognized. mr. courtney: thank you, mr. speaker. i now recognize the gentlewoman from new york, mrs. maloney, for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from new york is recognized for one minute. mrs. maloney: i thank the gentleman for his leadership in yielding. i rise in opposition to the republican party's working families flexibility act. it should be named the fake flexibility act. it's failure to advertise truthfully. if you were true, you would call it the more work and less pay act. and under this bill workers would lose the basic guarantees of fair pay for overtime work and time off from work under the fair labo

decades and luis cooley -- luis gutierrez has the scars to show it and so does john mccain and ted kennedyw? then you can come very close and at the end a little thing, a minor thing could blow it all up so on immigration most legislation but particularly something as controversial as immigration it ain't over until it's over. until the ink is drying on the legislation. but the difference is i think both parties at this point have found that the cost of not doing it is far greater than the cost of doing it. politically, economically national security. i think there has also been a groundwork that has been laid for years on immigration that has not been laid on gun control. gun control, what we saw was a devastated american public wanting action. you know it was an emotional reaction to the most horrific crime that we could ever imagine. on immigration the groundwork has been laid. it has been laid for months without anybody knowing. these guys in the house the bipartisan group in the house have been meeting for years and they have been doing so quietly. do you know how hard it is to get a

i started in the senate judiciary committee, i worked for ted kennedy, and i was one of the people whod to vet the judges, and individuals, and oi will tell you that i love the time that i was in the senate. i work with the senator thurman, hatch, simpson, it was a place where you work together to find solutions. i can tell you, i i would not wk in the senate today because of the fact people go in to make a difference. you know, like i said, it's not about you, but about wanting to change the world. it's been about seeing results, and if you don't see an institution functioning to get to those results, you're not going to be inclined to do that, and the next question is if it's wonderful that young people want to serve, and we saw the poll, it's wonderful, sort of affirming of the fact that people want to serve, but the question is why? is it to change the world, and if it's the change the world, i tell you young people are turning to other institutions. one of the biggest mistakes, my son went to iraq, and he's in the -- went to the military, and, in fact, still in the reserves, and o
