theram, i am happy with health insurance program and remember sponsoring it when orrin hatch and ted kennedy approached me and the authorization expired at midnight and was absolutely urgent that it he extended to not jeopardize health insurance for 9 million low income children, including nearly 23,000 in the state of maine. i am very happy that we have assured this program will continue. >> can you walk us through what happened because there was optimism and the pessimism grew overnight. can you talk about what specifically changed? >> every meeting we were in was always optimistic and we all knew there was a pathway forward and we should not have shut down the government. there were others who felt differently, that the bottom line was not to shut it down and we were all moving towards that with leadership still jousting back and forth. this is made. i don't believe that either leader should have the powers you have a force is strong as ours moving in this direction and they listened and that is what moved it. we were not backing off. we would not go into submission. more than anything, y

. >> didn't the liberal line of the senate, ted kennedy, say the exact same thing in 1965? are you accusing him of being racist. he said this is going to preclude people from western europe from coming in and we're going to get people from africa and other countries that aren't from western europe and they're going to overrun our country. that's what he said in 1965 when they passed legislion. he's one of your heroes. >> dwroun wyou don't know who m are. i knew senator ted kennedy, and there is zero chance that he would have ever said i would love to have more people from norway than people from these shithole countries. you know why? because he didn't think white people were inherently better than brown people, that's why. >> what ted kennedy said in 1965 was very clear. >> -- people anxious for opportunity. i get what you're doing. i would even give you a golf clap for looking back into history and finding something to make an analogy zblotsds i come prepared for you, baby, because that's what i know. >> but you don't seem to want to own about what the president said. >>

program which every member -- which i remember sponsoring as a freshman senator when orrin hatch and ted kennedy approached me about their bill, it's a six-year re-authorization that expired at midnight on friday night. it was absolutely urgent that it be extended in order not to disrupt or jeopardize health insurance for low -- for nine million low-income children, including nearly 23,000 in the state of maine. senator manchin: about the same in west virginia. senator collins: i'm happy that in addition to opening government, we assured that program will continue. senator manchin: let's start here. >> can you walk us through what happened? last night there was optimism and then pessimism grew overnight into early morning, hen you guys met and ult mayly optimistic again. can you talk about what changed? senator manchin: every meeting we were in, in susan's office, meet wegs had separately, was always an optimistic meeting. we knew there was a pathway forward a reasonable pathway forward. most importantly, should we have ever shut the government down? absolutely not. other people felt differently

senator hatch cocreated it with senator ted kennedy on a bipartisan basis more than 20 years ago. i know he counts this program among his proudest legislative accomplishments, and with a career like senator hatch, that's really saying something. i understand the six-year schip extension the senate passed yesterday will be the longest extension in the program's history. its passage offers just one more testament, as if we needed one, to senator hatch's moral conviction, political skill, and care for the most vulnerable in our society. and it reminds us how much we'll miss his work when he retires at the end of this congress. on another matter, we have a long list of legislative priorities to tackle in the coming weeks, but legislation is not the only bipartisan business that the senate needs to handle. yesterday afternoon i filed cloture on three nominees to fill important positions in the administration. alex michael azar to serve as secretary of health and human services. sam brownback to serve as ambassador at large for international religious freedom. and jerome h. powell to se

they supported ending chain migration , family unification, which was interesting because it was ted kennedy's brother john f. kennedy who put that into force in the 1960s, so and they've supported things like that but in this highly polarized environment democrats are making a big mistake by not sitting down to deal and getting some of what they want a solution for the dreamers and some of what trump wants which is stronger border security measures. they're too tied up in the issue of we can't let trump have a victory even if it's on building a wall. the president has rolled back a lot of what he originally said. it's not a wall in the campaign it was a 2000-mile wall with mexico and mexico was going to pay for it and now it's a six or 700-mile wall on the southern border, where it's necessary and where the experts say it would help stop illegal immigration. a little bit of drugs and guns. liz: president obama was for the border fence, right? he said it will stop illegal immigration. you had 26 democrats in 2004 and 2005 supporting the border fence in 2006 of they supported it. it was joe bid

remember it wasn't that long ago, before my lifetime, ted kennedy in 1965, said we want to make sure we're not overrun by these third world countries. 1965, nobody out at the time, nobody now calling ted kennedy racist for these type of things. double standard with the mainstream media, they don't want a true conversation. they want to scare the american people and don't want salacious headlines that allow for click bait. trish: corey, you spent a lot of time with the president. you were very close to him on the campaign trail of course. do you think he is a racist? >> oh, he is furthest thing from racist. the president is equal opportunist. whether you're a white male, white female, african-american male or hispanic he treats everybody the same. what that means he holds you to a very high standard. if you can't do the job he asks you to leave. he doesn't care if you're white, green, blue, black or orange, he wants the best. he wants the best for our country. that is what he is. people don't like that. some people want to be judged on their race or ethnicity or gender or sexual orien

it passed the senate with his support. >> ted kennedy was -- no back when george w. bush was president? >> i'm talking about five years ago. >> when he didn't have -- >> why are you saying the democrats are at fault when the house-led republicans. >> let me answer fast. i'll be fast. >> why won't they bring it gallup the house? >> my only point is when the democrats had the super majority that. >> could have gotten done. they chose not to i think it's going to happen soon. >> really? >> yes. >> so they're going to vote? that's good news. >> trump's going to make them do it. >> i think paul ryan also wants to do it. i'm not sure what the order is going to be, ruth, but i think the president is dead serious. >> by the way, no hastert rule. none of this thing about -- >> i didn't say that i didn't say that. >> wait a minute, you're going have is a have a majority of the republicans -- >> look at the details? >> why you guys so cagey? >> i'm not. >> you're laughing. you're lauflg as you talk. you think it's a joke. >> no, i think this is awfully serious. i'd like to see

i was the one who went to ted kennedy representing the democrats to come on board, and he did. and it brought both sides together. and i'm sure he's up there wondering what's the matter with my side down there. and he ought to be. it hasn't been easy to do all that, but we did it, it works, it's helped millions of children. it will help nine million children now. it's something everybody in this senate ought to be for and ought to quit playing games with. unfortunately some people think they can score points by playing games with something like chip. it's not only wrong, it's abysmal. i love my colleagues. there are some i love more than others, but i love all of them. and i have to say the ones i love more than others are those who really are honest and deliberative, who really want to do what's right while they're here and who are willing to work with others to get there, who are willing to work in a bipartisan manner to be able to bring these things to pass. i understand differences between the two parties. i understand the politics that are constantly being played around he

he invited ted kennedy and his family to the white house after the inauguration.nd he said the new movie "13 days" has just come out about the cuban missile crisis and your brother john f. kennedy and his presidency. would you like to come and watch it in the white house theater? >> so all of these things that particular week were about kind of this trust developing, this relationship, this common cause of can we get something big done. they both had their own equities, obviously, politically and otherwise. but they both believed that we ought to do a better job of educating poor kids. >> you can just imagine the brother of president kennedy sitting there with the new president, president bush, watching film in the white house movie theater. and then they started talking that night about how they wanted to work together on some big issues. it was going to be health care. it was going to be education reform. but he started reaching out right across-party lines from the early days of administration. remember, president george w. bush was elected as a compassionate c

this is the same party that for the last fifty years engaged in open treason with the soviet union ted kennedy actually in a memo memos get the democrats into trouble actually asked the general secretary at the trial at the time to intervene in the one thousand nine hundred four u.s. elections to unseat reagan you know keith olbermann only only in the last year called on all foreign intelligence services i would assume that includes russia to undo our elections so the democrats have a massive double standard when it comes to election intervention president obama intervened in the ukrainian elections intervened in the israeli elections i mean this is clearly not a party that actually believes in election integrity they believe in winning and keeping power and that's a very different issue so let's talk about the memo itself the campaign is all about the house intelligence committee memo written by devon nunez who is part of the trump transition team it's already been seen by some members of congress is there any good reason why the contents should not be made public public. no no no good public

ted kennedy -- teddy kennedy, to get this bill passed, and faced an uphill battle to get this bill passed. bur we were willing to take the heat because we knew it was the right thing to do. he came on board shortly after filed this bill and i have never regretted it. for more than 20 years chip has served as the literal lifeline for millions of children whose families cannot otherwise afford health insurance. without exaggeration, this groundbreaking program has saved thousands of young lives and has long stood as a symbol of what our two parties can accomplish when we look beyond the horizon of our differences to find common ground. sadly, in today's washington, the bipartisan spirit that breathed life into chip has been all but snuffed out. as a case in point, democrats are now holding this health care program hostage to their own radical agenda, using it as a bargaining chip in a dangerous political game. after months of hard work and goodfaith negotiation, progressives have effectively walked away from a once-in-a-generation deal to extend chip for six years, the longest extension in

but his sweeping immigration bill was signed into law, ted kennedy said this 42 years ago.ur cities will not be flood with a million immigrants annually understood the proposed bill. will not be flood with those immigrants. under the proposed bill the present level of immigration remains substantially the same. secondly the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset. contrary to the charges in some quarters. the bill will not inundate america with immigrants from any one country or area or the most of pop late and deprived nations of africa or asia. everything he promised wouldn't happen, happened. and not you u.s. immigration system is completely broken. mean while the national left-wing media's continued obsession with president trump's alleged language has reached a fever pitch. listen to this. >> it doesn't make what he said any less rig more rant or less racist. not racial, racially charged, racist. >> there is a distinction between the people who live in a country and the people that run it. >> we know that we have in the white house someone who could lead the klu k

you look at ted kennedy. he killed a woman and got away with it. he actually killed a woman. >> let me just jump in on one point. bill clinton is a democrat who was impeached. would you put him in the same category? jack: he was impeached but ultimately cleared. for the crimes he committed, he should be in a prison cell right now. john: i would be the last person >> jack, thank you for the call. to suggest one party or the other came into government or operated a government without i would agree. any faults. i would point to president johnson, who probably had a reputable presidency. if we are going to see an improvement from the regard that the american people have for politics and for people who are engaged in our political system is to try to move beyond this scandal focus and beyond the type of partisanship and try to re-create a sense that we are all in this together and that nobody is going to get everything they want, but you have to have a process that has integrity. have to have a process that has integrity. you have to have a process that

a word we heard a lot since 2006 when ted kennedy and john mccain got together for the first run at so-calledbe a disaster because they the democrats insisted on chain migration and no security. they succeeded in both. now e-verify is an important test. it takes away the ma -- the mage that draws so many people to the country. >> we have to make sure we don't have another one in a year, five years or ten years. there are loopholes in the current law. even if we 100% secured our border, people are being trained how a assert asylum claims. they are given a court date five years from now and disappear, never to show up again. pour bill closes these loopholes. the cartel, they are using them and they will incentivize mass illegal immigration. chain migration is 7 of 10 new immigrants. we need to move towards a merit-based system that allows people to come in through the turnstile and do it in a way that he won't take away jobs while we track down on the cartels and the illegals coming across my community right now. lou: the mexican government dispatched federal troops into baja to find cartels th

he complained at the swearing in were of all people ethel and ted kennedy a kennedy. was afraid of what he was about to get the white house tapes which show that richard nixon was guilty of impeachable offenses. so what this should tell us tonight about what happened last june is donald trump has to be interested in finding some way of firing robert mueller. we've got to be very much on alert about that tonight. >> do we know -- obviously, part of the analogy with nixon here is complicated by the fact that his white house counsel, john dean, went to jail. >> right. >> in watergate. i'm trying to think about the saturday night massacre what might have happened if the dominos started at the white white house rather than the justice department. >> it was in dramatic context because nixon had a chief of staff, alexander haig, who went to elliott richardson, the attorney general, and said you have to fire archibald cox, this is an order from your commander in chief. and he said i'm sorry we have different views of the public interest. he resigned rather than fire archibald

he ran against ted kennedy in a tight race. i think in some ways, i was trying to talk this to myself today, why would romney want to run? he is 70 years old and has a beautiful home in utah. may be the last line of his obituary he does not want to be a filled presidential candidate. maybe he wants to be his senator who stood up anytime when somebody needed him to stand up.>> you think in a couple of weeks he will throw his hat in the ring? >> he has until march 15 to file for office. what i'm hearing is that he will make a decision in the next couple of weeks and maybe test the waters for a little bit. you will not wait to long to make the announcement. he does not want endless speculation going on. i would imagine in the next couple of weeks we will hear. >> finally if he is elected can you imagine the [ null ]-for- tat between him and mr. trump? >> i can only imagine it will be fun . trump and romney do not get along. we all remember the speech that romney gave where he called trump a phony and fraud. he said similar things
