he has done, in many people's estimation, a poor job of answering questions. 1979, this was ted kennedyhen you asked him to be president, right? and then he fumbled the answer. did that remind you of that? >> very much so. and i think it's right on point when ted kennedy was going to run against incumbent president jimmy carter. and when rocker asked him, you know, why did you want to be president, he didn't have an answer. now, rightly or wrongly, fairly or unfairly, i think that governor bush strikes a lot of people, including a lot of people who were going to like him in that mode. also, when he speaks, whether it's true or not, it appears to be the same-old, same-old, plain vanilla kind of talk and he doesn't crack through. whereas with trump, like him or don't like him, he comes off with gum on the shoes with all of those. >> we miss those ratherisms. >>> but is he saying nicely that jeb bush is just deadly doll up there? >> people are not seeing in jeb bush the passion that i think they want to see in a candidate. it's what they saw in carlie in that pre-debate debate. it's what t

that's what ted kennedy did.got to know the other person, got to like the other person and that way you can get things done. >> let me ask you about a profile in courage and i am taking sides on the iranian nuclear deal. it was tough, people are worried about the state of israel and its precarious situation, but it's better than what we have right now. my view, how tough is that view for you and people like al franken who support it? >> first of all, i think you know the process was bipartisan so that everyone had time to look at it. i think it's important. because it's a tough call. i have deep respect for people that take the other view. but in the end, i decided that it's the best option for trying to put the brakes on iran having a nuclear weapon. and i do that with my eyes wide open. i know what this regime and the horror and the terrorism and also the things that have been said about israel. but the bottom line to me, we don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. with these intrusive inspections with the mil

i want to tell you a couple stories and draw this into something, senator ted kennedy and john sununu. i want to read a little bit of this, in the upstairs room in the capital senator ted kennedy slammed his hand down on the table with force that shook the room. his hefty body raised from his seat, angle across the solid wooden surface as he glared at president george h. w. bush's chief of staff john sununu their heads inches apart. kennedy screamed do you want to fight? fight with me. you want to yell? yell at me. kennedy's face was red with anger. tendons building from his neck. john sununu became pale and quiet and backed down. at that table were the major senators involved in the act. a meeting was called together because after two weeks of staff level negotiations between the white house and the senate, a deadlock was now apparent. heavyweights, or and hatch, bob dole, dick thornburgh and others got together to see what could be done. one by one they came in, he brought along his aide, they were discussing -- he is a lawyer. after some brief chitchat, they end their own discussio

when someone asked jimmy carter in passing, what do you think of being challenged by ted kennedy.> this is a special report from cbs news. >> the 174th day of the iran crisis brought a startling and tragic turn of events. the united states mounted a military operation into iran last night to rescue the american hostages. but it failed. >> eight helicopters took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier "nimitz." the eight helicopters headed to a desert staging area 200 miles southeast of tehran. two of the helicopters experienced problems en route. >> but once on the ground, yet another helicopter malfunctioned. leaving only five for the mission. at that moment, the president scrubbed the mission. >> in the rush to pull out, one of the helicopters taxied into a c-130 fuel tanker. both burst into flames. >> eight of our men were killed. four others suffered burns. the bodies of the dead have not yet been returned. >> the ayatollah seemed to enjoy stage managing in this grisly theater as the bodies were shown. the soldiers, obviously, took no joy here. >> it was my decision to atten

if it weren't for politicians who tried to exploit all these grievances, and probably it was ted kennedy who pioneered the legislation on the hill that equalized immigration to this country, so that it wasn't just specifically from european countries, the world is a bigger place than the folks you and i grew up with in the 1950's. pat: the american people have never voted for mass immigration and they have voted repeatedly to stop illegal immigration. it still goes on. eleanor: they vote for mass immigration every day. when they hire people. mortimer: it's the american way. marco rubio is an anchor baby by your definition. his parents weren't citizens when he was born here. if you do away with that, he would not be a citizen. pat: you cannot retroactively take away citizenship. john: ok. this sounds like a rebellion more than it does a talk show. when we come back, schumer's rebellion. john: issue two. schumer's rebellion. >> i found the inspections regime not anywhere any time. but with lots of holes in it. particularly troublesome, you have to wait 24 days before you can inspect. that

as senator ted kennedy recalled, “i arrived in the senate at the ripe age of 30 years old., advice. after talking to my brother, he mentioned to me that someday when i'm in the u.s. senate and an issue comes up for me and passions are aroused and voices are high, if you really want to know the unvarnished truth and you want the facts on the issue, go to john sherman cooper and you will receive them.” jackie kennedy shared her husband's admiration for cooper's judgment. she marveled at how often there would be a point hotly argued or a bind you could not see your way out of and how often his voice was listened to and how usually his view was the path that turned out to be the obvious right one. sadly, john cooper would also have experiences with kennedy he would have gladly forgone. he was chosen by lyndon johnson to serve as one of the seven imminent americans on the warren commission to investigate the kennedy assassination. during his time in the senate, senator cooper established an enduring legacy. in my experience, i have found that there are simply two types of people

ted kennedy used to walk across the aisle and talk to senator hatch and senator snowe. congressman in house ways and means. those people do not exist. ken: you do not see them much. diplomacy is the art of compromise, negotiation, flexibility, creativity. that is what i think secretary kerry is trying -- lew was saying we cannot afford the secondary economic sanchez. how will this message be received in europe? hans: in some ways and look at the political mess and nations of the last 24 and 72 hours. when chuck schumer came out against the deal, that is a clear signal that the deal would go to the senate. -chuck schumer is a pretty good whip count. is it veto proof? that is a signal to have the votes in the bag. jewishw is the constituency, the politics of israel changed in washington since you were there? ken: it is much more divisive now. you have got all different aspects, different organizations, individuals speaking out for the deal. tom: do we europe for golda meier? golda- do we yearn for meier? ken: this time it is an issue dividing them. tom: somebody talk abou

ted kennedy added that the list was one of the great insults to the supreme court in its history. among the justices, there was concern, as well. according to one news report, justice harland whose retirement created the second vacancy and who was often described as the court's conservative conscious so outraged he seriously considered writing the president a letter of protest. a liberal justice after reading some of judge lily's opinions promptly got drunk. within the administration, there was also concern. during the vetting process, white house lawyers had raised questions about the qualification of the two nominees. and also, about their commitment to conservatism. however, the president was very attracted to their political symbolism, believed them to be sufficiently conservative and intended to appoint them. but then the aba standing committee on the federal judicial rated them both as unqualified for the court. friday by a vote of 6-6. and lily by a vote of 11-1. in the past, nixon probably would have sent the names to the senate anyway. but things were different now. it wa

in the early days the a tkpapb administration ted kennedy was nothing like his brother to the kremlin in exchange for him stopping reagan's defense buildup help defeat reagan's reelection. he said he would help him brush up on propaganda skills and introduce him to the american television networksment the only real threat to reagan are soviet relations. the dear commandante letter was going to nicaragua. there he used reagan of committing terrorism. george schultz was reagan's secretary of state at the time. and he attacked kerry and harp man as self-appointed adversaries to the regime. he called it mccarthyism. it was mildly humorous because mccarthy was really not comp nymph and harkin seemed to be rooting for communism in nicaragua. they trafpld on the lmped on th tore it up. during the pro nuclear freeze movements the early days in the 1980s, they were being funded by moscow. at the 1977 conservative political action conference he told a crowd, when a conservative says a totalitarian communist is enemy of human freedom he is not theorizing. again, we quote kirkpatrick. so in 1980,

when it tried to keep something classified, for example we had asked for the fbi files concerning ted kennedy once he had passed away. there is a lot of interesting information concerning senator kennedy and his various activi y ies. we challenge that claim. it had nothing to do with being classified. it had awkward or embarrassing information regarding the senator that the department of justice claims was classified that wasn't. we thought this in court. we swon, . . am not clear we do fight classification issues all the time. powell,pect to general we secretary of state, challenge the secretary of state and ask for the records all the time. bush administration over the energy task force. it went all the way to the supreme court. he is interested in the dick cheney e-mail. for thee have asked records, pertaining to the cheney energy task force. they were set up, in large part, under the same law as hillary clinton's health care task force back in 1993-1994. it was then called hillary-care or the hillary task force. they were set up under the same law and operated under the same way. they got

ted kennedy would survive the ordeal relatively unscathed not only physically but politically as well. though the curse so callously attached to the kennedy name would endure into the next generation. "good evening. once again, the kennedy family is stealing itself tonight to deal with tragedy. after take-off last night from new jersey, a small plane carrying thirty- eight year old john f. kennedy junior, his wife and sister-in-law vanished on approach to the massachusetts island of martha's vineyard." while it's true time has changed the kennedys as it does all things, nothinghas chartered the family's course quite like tragedy. an off-the-cuff joke by a president turns into a political controversy. "the soviet union today turned president reagan's weekend off- the-cuff remark about bombing the russians, quote, astonishing, irresponsible, and that was just for openers." the little care free car that became synonymous with corporate greed. and as we chart a new course with cuba, we look back at sweeping changes in policy that led to a mass exodus of families seeking freedom. families

even when that was over, he was working with senator ted kennedy and helping to staff the senator onhis opposition to president nixon's court appointments. what you have is the clear hard of the opposition becoming head of the group and elliot did two other things. he not only gave full and unreviewed independence to the special prosecutor but that included the power to investigate both sides. so you had this position of them being able to investigate us, but us the duly administration had no power to investigate them. they announced in their first conference, they had the intent of investigating every single allegation ever made against the nixon administration. this was not a happy development, and it got worse. i know you can't read this chart but i love it. it's reproduced in the back of the book but not in glorious color. this is the kennedy johnson department of justice. there are 17 names in red because they joined the special prosecutor's office. see, they only hired their friends and by some fluke their friends all turned out to be partisan democrats who worked in the previo

ted kennedy and others put a stop to that to robert bork getting on to the supreme court. in the midst of all that skull dugry, in the middle of that incredible drama, who the prison decided to shoot at was the press. a tried and true tactic. >> let me say, too, i didn't want to leave an impression with my good friend from cbs over here that i don't respect the reporters. what i was simply saying was this. that when a commentator takes a bit of news and then with knowledge of what the facts are, distorts it, viciously, i have no respect for that individual. >> dan rather with cbs news. mr. president, are you running for something? >> no, sir, mr. president, are you? mr. president, mr. president, i believe -- >> 1974. president nixonon trying to make sport of cbs reporter dan rather. dan rather giving it right back to him. richard nixon was not running for anything at that time except his political life. less than six months later, he was gone. i had to resign the presidency. presidents and candidates fighting with the press is as old as presidents and candidates and the pr

the late ted kennedy was also for that bill. either we have a country or we don't. and that's what donald trump says. either we enforce our laws or don't. we aren't going to send people out of the country who have been here for years. just maybe trump's over-the-top idea, though, will get the so-called responsible politicians to start taking responsibility. and end this endless babble about which the country's establishment has proven worthless to fix. i mean it, they don't do the job. he's talking a plan. that's "hardball" for now.

they do not get -- they think that john mccain and ted kennedy got together on something so that must cover all the ideological basis. the fact is, they are the same guys. there is a very broad diversity of opinion among the public very different from the elite consensus. a key part of that consensus, the elite consensus that isn't shared by the public, is the third element. you are talking about enforcement and amnesty basically. there is a third part of the senate bill on a third part of the issue which is the level of legal immigration. the senate bill would have doubled legal immigration from the one million per year to 2 million per year. it would have almost doubled so-called temporary worker admissions which ends up being long-term anyway. if i pick one thing, it's the issue of the legal numbers being sort of taken for granted as a kind of gimme to various constituent groups. we will get rid of this category but we will give you extra here. in other words, the way they deal with the issue with competing intrests in legal immigration is everybody gets more. thinking about it in

senator clinton at that point and senator ted kennedy were writing letters on your behalf and that was initially maybe you could even talk about how this was for the oxford scholarship isn't that right when they started getting on board and writing about how extraordinary you were. >> host: they began writing lawyers letters once we thought it was best to combine the application with some high-profile political support. so we submitted all the letters in conjunction with my application and i have been very fortunate to have people from princeton in the preparatory component program in middle school and at all of these communities came together through the various kind. but then there was another issue that intersected in the change of the status and it was the one that ensued from another piece of good fortune in the fact scholarship for the two years of oxford and so this made legalizing the status even more urgent because where i exited the united states exit the united states without having legalized my status first, i would have been barred from reentering the united states for ten

. >> in an upstairs room in the capitol, senator ted kennedy slammed his hand down on the table witha force that shook the room. his hefty body, now raised from his seat, angled across the solid wooden surface as he glared at president george h.w. bush's chief of staff, john sununu. their heads inches apart, their heads inches apart, kennedy screamed at sununu, you want to fight? fight with me. you want to yell? yell at me. kennedy's face was red with anger. the tendons bulging from his neck. sununu suddenly became pale and quiet and backed down. so is at that table were all of the sort of major sioux city ses involved in the act, and the meeting was called together because after ten weeks of staff-level negotiations between the white house and the senate, some progress had been made, but a deadlock was now apparent. the heavyweights who are orrin hatch, tom harbin, attorney general dick thornburg and others -- tom harkin. one by one they came in, and harkin brought along his aide, bobby silverstein, who was one of the people who drafted the ada that they were discussion. he was a la
