a bad compromise is doing less, getting less of a bad thing so if you can work with ted kennedy and heants to pass some terrible pill and you can water down so it doesn't hurt as bad that's a bad compromise because you know it's going to hurt but if you compromise with ted kennedy in order to when i was there in order to get something that but less of it that's a good compromise. we have to stop compromising your bad things and be willing to compromise to get less good things. that is how the left was able to eventually do what they are doing. they were always willing to compromise on taking less of the loaf. the next day come back for the next piece. and we don't. we stand for if you can't get this and we are not for it. that's just stupid. it's not how you move the ball. >> another question down here. >> link and cover from saint louis mr. and i will be attending wheaton in the fall. i know you mentioned about how your message to blue-collar workers was specifically what brought you close to clinching the republican nominee. what is the message and how we need to frame it looking at

tried to undercut ted kennedy as a figure of any kind of respect through smearing and investigationsand one thing and another. and then all of these dirty tricks out on the campaign trail. and then you find out that not only was watergate -- and this is later, it's after the watergate hearings. not only was it a campaign to undermine the very basis of demock kra zi, which are free elections. but, from the beginning, it was to undermine the anti-war movement through illegal means. to undermine reporting. to undermine the democrats and his political entities through the use of the irs, which we also hear on the tapes. then the break-in at watergate and then to undermine the very system of justice through the cover up. the cover up is worse than the crime? not a chance. the crime is ongoing. and then, the last war, these five wars of watergate. and we wrote, bob and i wrote on the 40th anniversary of the break-in, a piece for the post. and afterwards, to a new addition of all of the president's men. it's about these five wars of watergate and how we know now, it's so much worse than at

on the question of the first amendment, i am proud to stand side by side with ted kennedy. and what does it say about the modern democratic party? that not a single democrat is willing to honor senator kennedy's legacy. his words are every bit as true now as they were in 1997. in the entire history of the constitution, we have never amended the bill of rights. and now is no time to start. madam president, it is my plea to the democratic members of this body that you reconsider the decision of putting your name on this amendment. it may seem like harmless election-year politicking that will help in political campaigns, but it is dangerous when 49 senators come together and say we no longer support the first amendment. and it is even more dangerous -- we have a two-party system. a two-party system on which there should be robust debate. it is even more dangerous when one of the two parties becomes so extreme and so radical that it becomes seen as good politics to campaign against the first amendment. this won't pass this week, but i hope that my democratic colleagues will have

ted kennedy told me he did not know that much about his brother's health until he read my book because that's how hidden the whole darn thing was. ted sorensen was serious at me because he's the one who signed off. it was a three-person committee. he let me into the medical records. he was angry at me. he said there was no cover-up. >> bobby knew about the amphetamines and about dr. feel good. most people did not know. >> it's not just a cover-up though. when i finished mr. dallek's fantastic biography and realized the breadth of the health problems it makes you see kennedy and a more heraldic life. -- her rohit light. -- heroic light. >> how bad was the health? >> it was very bad. he was hospitalized for 44 days a number of times in the late 1950's. >> given the last rites a few times? >> three times. >> a number of physicians i spoke to told me they don't know if he would have lived that much longer or well into his 50's. so, it was a serious issue. they hid the it. it.hey hid the day after he was elected, there was a press conference and someone asked the bobby kennedy, what about y

and then when he gets president in 1973 and 74 and he's negotiating with ted kennedy in the senate and robert mills in the house about how to come together on a comprehensive health care reform bill and they were this close to the bill and then in the scandals they break out. he has the talks scandal where an exotic dancer folded to the tidal basin and he's disgraced and forced off the chairmanship of the ways and means committee. watergate overtakes nixon and it all goes poof and actually we only to say that liberals and unions at that time did not want to have a peel that would have private insurance continued. they were resistant to making the deal with nixon and they withheld their support so you have a combination of scandals that made me put the wash on the bipartisan agreement with the unions and liberals. for 20 years until after bill clinton we didn't have another reform and then clinton comes in and wants a bar kit based reform imposes the act and unfortunately there are lots of other things that undertook a single focus. he had to pass a tax increase. they had to draft a bil

sponsored by ted kennedy, signed by president clinton. this past week, every senate democrat voted to overturn the hobby lobby decision which was based on protections in that bill. we are not dealing with our daddy's democratic party any more. not even close. there's all this attention to how the republican party has gone to the right. they never talk about how radical the democratic party has become. [applause] so i wanted to make that point, which is not responsive to the question, but it is important to point out. >> we are on a hard break. i need a name or two. >> i will answer that question. i have watched with scott walker has done in wisconsin with great admiration. they have thrown everything they have at the guy, and he has stood up to them, laid out the facts, treated the people like adults, got his agenda through, beat them in their redo election. and he is in for a very tough fight again this year. the media is out to get him. the long knives are out. if he can win for the third time in four years in wisconsin, he should at le

when nixon was president he wanted government to get a little bit bigger and ted kennedy want ad lot bigger and they argued every day, and every day the government got somewhat big. agree if you're heading in the same direction. now it is speed. we have two parties. one wants larger government and one wants smaller government and they each mean it. what would have a bipartisan compromise be. there is no way to do that. pass the republican house and senate plan and pass the ryan plan. while we do ralph and i will work on other issues. >> precedent mr. nader will follow. we have lot of questions. keep it brief to the report. >> there is partisan divide where? in congress. back home, 90% of people want to prosecute wall street crooks put them in jail. there is real main street, wall street antipathy here. too big to fail? all kind of conservatives are coming out against allowing banks to be too big to fail. but it hasn't hit congress yet in terms of any operational momentum. that is what we have to talk about, filling that gap, pushing this public sentiment of convergence into operation

we should heed the advice of our late colleague from massachusetts, my friend, senator ted kennedy. we were omnibus called the odd couple because we worked so well together but came from disparate or different political areas. in march, 1997, this body was debating another proposed constitutional amendment to control political speech. that measure i want my colleagues to know was more narrowly drawn than the one before us today. it was limited to expenditures supporting or opposeing candidates and did not exempt big media. yet senator kennedy rose to oppose it and said -- quote -- "in the entire history of the constitution, we have never amended the bill of rights and now is no time to start." and he was right. and it would be wrong to carve an exception in the first amendment. campaign finance reform is a serious problem but it does not require that we twist the meaning of the constitution. all of this was said by senator kennedy. the senate voted 38-61 against that proposal and senator kennedy's words apply with even more force today. no question about it. the real purpose of sena

something of a comeback attempt, four years after her shocking loss to scott brown in the race for ted kennedy'sely at her story tomorrow. and there's rhode island an intense race for governor going on and my favorite election anywhere this year, the race for mayor of providence. that's where buddy c and c, the former mayor and maker of a delicious pasta sauce is running as an independent. his opponent this tuesday we'll be talking to buddy on the show tomorrow and trust me, you will not want to miss that, more ahead, right after this. good morning, usher! hey! did you know bees communicate through dance? me too... we're practically twins! when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment

you may remember the late senator ted kennedy. five times he was on the no-fly list. five times when he went to the airport and tried to board a plane, there was somebody else who had a name similar to him and, therefore, he was stopped from flying. okay? now, i assume the's not going to count that -- the president's not going to count that as five time as we stopped a terrorist from flying -- [laughter] but that's, essentially, the the way the numbers are counted when they go and do the background check counts they have here. if you look at the numbers for 2010, they've stopped reporting them this way under the obama administration, but you could see there were 76,000 initial denials, only 44 of those were deemed worthy of prosecution, and they got 13 convictions. and if you look at those 13 convictions, my guess is none of you would think these are really seriously dangerous people that are there. they're people that may have made mistakes, didn't realize that they had some covered offense that prevented them from doing it. you know, it's interesting, just a couple
