like in "pulp fiction" with kansas as uma thurman and brownback as john travolta. [ laughter ] okay. so, how did that shot of adrenaline -- the kansas city -- the kansas tax cut, work out? >> kansas is broke, extremely broke. >> seth: that's right, job growth in kansas lagged behind the rest of the country. and while supporters predicted the plan would generate $323 million in new revenue, it actually produced a $688 million loss. kansas' budget problems were so bad, in fact, that they were forced to raise tax money in 2014 using a somewhat novel strategy. >> profiting from porn. the state of kansas will soon earn money from selling sex. >> it's no secret that sex sells. and right now, hundreds of adult toys are sitting in a kansas city warehouse and are up for auction online. d while the company, equip-bid, will get a commission, most of the money from the sale of the items will end up in the hands of the kansas government. >> seth: that's right, they auctioned off sex toys from an adult store that owed back taxes. and it turned out to be an unusually popular auction. >> on average,

so that's the end of eagle walter thurman.agles signed a free agent quarterback who's been mentioned for a couple of weeks from the new head coach doug pederson' former team the kansas city chiefs. chase danielle is now an eagle with a three-year, $21 million deal as a backup which some reports have daniels deal worth 36 million from what i understand, that would be -- stipulations in the contract if he does become a starter. eagles signed a player to help offensive line. free agent guard from the texans brandon brooks the eagles gave away more big money. brooks deal is worth 40 million over five years. can we get some of that cash? also, gone are demarco murray to tennessee and byron maxwell and key company alonso to miami. me am me deal almost didn't happen today with maxwell having a problem which could have blown up the deal. i'll run down how it almost didn't happen and that will be coming up in sports. lucy? >> talk to you then, howard. >>> he he's not in the run fog president any longer for better or worse new jersey go

. >> our democratic colleagues continually talk about the so-called thurman rule under which the senatey stops confirming judges in a presidential election year. the obsession with this rule that doesn't exist is just an excuse for our colleagues to run out the clock on qualified nominees who are waiting to fill badly needed vacancies. >> i started my interview with harry reid with a similar quote from him back during the bush years too. essentially, you guys have changed places in your position on supreme court vacancies, and it seems to me the only difference is the political party affiliation of the white house. >> well, there was no supreme court vacancy in 2008 and that's what we're talking about here, chuck. you have to go back 80 years to find the last time a vacancy on the supreme court created during a presidential election year was filled. you have to go back to grover cleveland in 1888 to find the last time a presidential appointment was confirmed by a senate of the opposite party when the vacancy occurred in a presidential year. we're talking about the supreme court here. th

figure like trump, it's someone in the wallace mode, george and henry going back to 38 or the strong thurmann the establishment party moves how the and runs as a third party. this is the first recorded cases of a hijacking of the plane being supported by the passengers in many senses. so that's going on the republican side. senator clinton is i think to her credit i think in the past ten days or so has started talking about the fact that she's not a natural candidate and i think that's going to in an interesting way go a long way toward helping her. the electorate is as unhappy as it has been and even more so since 1992 which we forget but which was a rough year. buchanan challenging george bush, perot19% and clunltd elected with 43 percent of the vote which is what richard nixon got in 1978. when you have a president coming in the winner of a general election at a 43% number then it's a sign of a deeply unhappy republic and i think we are deeply unhappy right now. >> rose: the implication of that for general election al. >> that it's going to be a race to the bottom. it's going to be a very

strom thurman came to the senate floor and said there should be no such exception. it should be a process which should not be changed for election year expediency. it signified the majority of our government. the man who was the republican chair ranking republican on judiciary at the time said there's no such rule. >> and andrea mitchell, back to you. the kind of politics we just heard from mitch mcconnell, and we quickly add the kind of politics employed by his adversary in the senate, harry reid, they were the choices after all of the voters of kentucky and nevada respectively. many people have said that right there has given rise to all of this movement we are seeing in american politics. it's example of the old, broken system, where nothing gets agreed to, nothing gets fixed and very little gets through the u.s. senate. >> exactly. the personal relationship between those two men is almost nonexistent. i don't mean to, you know, wax eloquent about the past, but even partisans like bob dole and george mitchell when i was covering the senate, they would meet everyd
