ted kennedy and claire mchaskill topped the list.ack in my high school days, i was a young quarterback so i went to joe namath's football camp back into 1971. joe, he was a great guy. he still is. he's still alive. he was on super bowl sunday and everything else. he had a football camp. i'm going to his football camp. when we were there, a story came out that richard nixon had put out a enemies list and joe namath was on the enemy's list. he didn't understand why. i heard some conversations about this was totally puzzling. joe got a lot of press about it. cbs sent a crew up there and did a story about it and whatnot. they always rubbed me wrong. i didn't understand why. i understand how politicians are going to remember people who don't support them, but come on, hillary. tell me this isn't true. the people who supported obama you don't want if they supported the president? what do you make of this? i don't like lists like this. i like everybody on the same page and everybody getting along. >> you said it earlier, i don't think it's

separation out, and whereas before nixon wanted bigger government, and he argued every day with ted kennedy who wanted much bigger government. so it's pretty easy to compromise between bigger and much bigger. every year kennedy and nixon would get together, the government would get somewhat bigger. not as much bigger as kennedy wanted, more than -- it grew more than nixon wanted, but somewhat bigger. you could compromise. today the modern republican party wants lower taxes and the modern democratic party want higher taxes. both the president and harry reid they're not even going to look at a tax reform if it doesn't raise 1-1.4 trillion in higher taxes from the american people over decade. they want a tax increase. the republicans would like tax reform to be revenue neutral or a reduction in the tax burden. somebody wants to go east, somebody wants to go west, what's the come bro poise? -- compromise. the matters sorted themselves out in a normal, natural, reasonable, comprehensible manner which i think is good. people should know what they're buying when they vote for a candidate. and also

>> did ted kennedy ever work on minimum wage?tional opportunity and pay a minimum wage. >> artificially hiking the minimum cage causes students to drop their long-term education. it gets them stuck in these atrablth tive sweet jobs in the short term but in the long term they stop their income potential. >> let's make it $100. you could make the opposite and say why not $100. >> i agree. we are on the same page. >> only 5 percent are paid minimum wage 95 percent don't needed government rules. if a volunteer wants to work for 2 bucks. >> why can't we be free to let children work, why not get rid of the clean air laws. we need in some instances this government to be equitable. sometimes the government agency. >> parents want their kids to work and the kids are not slaves, shouldn't people have free choice? >> that 5 percent is an important 5 percent. we look at the 5 percent making a gazallion dollars on the top of the economic ladder. we can look at the 5 percent earning minimum wage. >> i think the defeatist mentality about this i

ted kennedy will not help me anymore.ou can divide people into different groups, or one at a time. that is what you want to avoid. you wanted to look everyone in the eye, and say, i have an idea and you don't want to pay for it. you don't want people taken out one at a time, the richard speck theory of tax increases. clinton said, i will mug two percent of you, obama says he you,get one percent of then they come back and tax everybody. obama said he would not tax poor people, and he had the tax on cigarettes, people who have an average income of 40 -- $40,000 per year. first,ll tax the rich then we come for you but thank you for helping us mug them. but everyone on the same footing, with the government, and right now they tax it when you earn it, save it, invested, and the capital gains -- if you have a house, there is the property tax and if you're stupid enough to die, there is the estate tax. tax it once and go away and go do something else. >> here is eric from seattle. independent line. taxes, this ist nonsense. reag

former senator ted kennedy and paul wellstone. i thing they would have injected themselves into it to fight for the workers. that's something the democrats need to figure out. corker has written the book on how to beat unions. go as low as you can. say whatever you can. get people to believe it. even after the company said stay out of it and signed an agreement with the uaw that nobody is going to say negative stuff in the media, they didn't have to if these guys are doing it. there has been a media campaign to get people to vote against their own special interests. the democrats are going to have to come up with some kind of a strategy. they're going to have to put together a worker labor team. whenever there's a vote like this, when politicians on the other side decide to support the corporate interests, somebody, i don't care if you're from that state or not, you're going to have to pull a kennedy or a wellstone and inject yourself into the policy and into the process. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. to

alan lippmann, there was that famous quote when ted kennedy ran for senate. said, if your name was edward moore, not edward kennedy, your candidacy would be a joke. we're not saying that they are not accomplished in their own right. it is hard to imagine them being in the position they are in if they didn't have the names that they had. >> you are absolutely right. as we know, edward kennedy went on to become one of the greatest senators in the history of the couldn't interest i. he wouldn't have been elected. the country would have been greatly deprived. we don't have an aristocracy but as you know it is people who are well connected politically, who are wealthy, who have name recognition, who have the resources to run for office. the father once said, with the money i'm spending, i could elect my chauffeur. given the name recognition factor, isn't that our faultd as well as theirs. >> i hate to dump on american voters but i think you are absolutely right. unfortunately, american voters are very lazy and, look, they tend to send the same kind of people back

it reminds me of the ted kennedy floor speech back in 2007 on the senate floor. what is it that you have against these workers? why is it that you have such a disdain for american workers? are you afraid that workers in the workplace have a vote it's going to destroy your economy in tennessee? his threatening legislative retribution. he's telling the people of tennessee if this vote and this plant goes through and those guys from the uaw get into our state, we're going to pass some laws so other companies aren't going to be able to get tax incentives. why does this guy hate workers? that's what the local media ought to be asking this guy down in tennessee. then there's norquist. his union workers, they might pick a candidate they might want to support. they don't want to give the workers down in tennessee an opportunity to be involved in some kind of social networks or ground effort door to door that might elect a democrat down in tennessee. so this is really the new model. we can call this the watson-norquist model for defeating unions. just plaster and threaten

john kerry, jay rockefeller, claire mccaskill, ted kennedy, patrick leahy.now that all politicians do this to a certain extent but do the clinton aides do this more than your average politician's aide? john? >> well, you know, they are much more clinical about it. they are keeping microsoft excel spreadsheets because they have come into contact with so many people over so many years that you couldn't keep it all in your head. one of the things we do in the book is go through -- that excerpt doesn't talk about it but we go through the people that bill clinton went after on the campaign trail in 2010, 2012. my favorite part of the book is howard berman who supported assume. bill clinton gave an endorsement statement and then there was a campaign to get bill clinton to stop, not do a fund-raiser for sherman and even went to hillary clinton and said he thinks it's ironic that hillary clinton is asking for his vote while bill clinton is out there campaigning against him and hillary clinton just laughed and told him that she was out of politics and as it turns out

number seven you had ted kennedy, claire mccaskill among others. do you buy the line from the clinton camp that this was misinterpreted? >> well, they are saying that they don't rely on it or circulate it. it serves as a reminder to people that they keep track of friends and enemies. they are constantly looking forward and back. so there's people asking how does it pertain to today. clearly if she's running in 2016, it will apply to that. point went on revenge cycles where he took out people that didn't support his wife. it all comes forward in time. >> both of you are convinced there's no question that she hasn't stopped running for president. >> this train is rolling and gaining steam. all the outside groups formed around her. she is fundraising, ready for hilary. all she needs to do is decide she's running and the landscape is there for her. >> one thing that the book gives her credit for, after the bush years, and you bring up positive things with bob gates and general david petraeus had to say, given everything that happened since you wrote th

ted kennedy, he got a seven. missouri state senator was high on the list and she knew it.d a friend she didn't even want to be in an elevator alone with hillary clinton. john kerry topped the hit list for endorsing obama after a critical moment after clinton won the new hampshire primary. for hillary clinton to be successful if this is all true, she needs, as i see it, drop the grudges. unite the base. we've got too much at stake. an entry from the archives of one of hillary clinton's best friends could give her a path to do just that. the published documents include journal entries, interviews, and correspondence from the mid 1970s to 2000. one entry from 1993 describes a dinner where clinton called a single payer health care system necessary. she told the "new york times," i never seriously considered a single payer system. if she makes something progressive like single payer the focus of 2016, it could be a real qu powwow for democrats. i don't like lists. i like forgiveness. i like togetherness. how could the story of this book do any candidate any good for that matter

. >> this is the same balancing test that ted kennedy and chuck schumer voted into federal law in 1993. larry, this has been with us for 20 years. it's not new. the only thing arizona is doing is tweaking it, truly tweaking it very slightly so that private business owners in addition to broader associations can assert these religious freedom rights. the bill doesn't mention sexual orientation. it's simply religious liberty and the person asserting it would have to prove a lot before you would win your case and you would have to prove a substantial burden on your religious freedom. >> that's a key point, what you just said. look, i'm going to quote quickly from the christian post that did a pretty good legislative analysis of this. there's a religious freedom restoration act in arizona that was first passed in 1999. no business people have used it. no one has denied business services to anybody. so your point that this doesn't necessarily trigger discrimination is a very important point. it's such an important point that i don't think you need to change this religious freedom restoratio

can see them going after secretary clinton on the issue that she once supported single pair, like ted kennedy supported and a lot of people supported. i'm beginning to think it makes sense. it's not out of the question to extend medicare through everybody. it's worked for older people. why not everybody. why are they going after that one? forget the sex stuff. why are they trying to nail hillary as a lefty on health care at this point when they already took their shots at her? >> because it so conveniently ties her to obama care, right? by is already unpopular. that was just the precursor and she is even more to the left than obama care. if she becomes president, it's going to be even more obamacare, even worse than it was before. it ties together very neatly. >> let's go back to the sex stuff. if i were the other -- i can't imagine myself being in a situation. i've been lucky. but if hillary was upset about the whole of impeachment thing, the monica thing, why wouldn't she say something like the young woman is a narcissistic loony toon. that's the most normal thing you could call a person th
