oklahoma republican tom cole is a member of the budget committee and joins me now. congressman cole, i want to ask first about this surprising to some of us, conservative divide over the ryan budget. you lost some republicans on the budget committee, only made it out of one vote, club for growth has come out kind of against it didn't say they were fully against it, but they don't like it. is this the way you envision it had? >> there was no drama to the vote in the budget committee, you know the the two no votes actually passed and waited to make sure we had sufficient votes to pass the budget. i wouldn't be surprised to semensing upset they would like to go further hearten ryan budget does, we are not going to have trouble getting the 218 voice and it doesn't bother me that people are impatient and want to do more rather than less. store, is actually good debate to have. i don't think it makes much difference and we will pass the bunnell net short order next week. >> is this -- how much of this -- it feels as if this was much more of a political document than the fi

please help me welcome congressman tom cole. >> thank you very much. it's an honor and a privilege and a pleasure to follow my good friend, lieutenant governor jefferson keel. governor keel was here and did give you a thoughtful and an eloquent address. i'm here to prove to you that not only are thoughtful and eloquent. but it is my privilege and i do so like everybody in this room as an american and a very proud american and i do so as someone who is very proud of my state. i know most of you are proud of the states in which you reside assuming you are american citizens, but i also do that as a fellow thative american, someone pride of my tribal conditions and my tribe. my forbearers and my family were members of the chiccasaw nation. my great-great-grandfather was clerk of the chickasaw and my great-grandfather was treasurer of the chickasaw nation before oklahoma was a state. so we approach this as most people in this room approach this with a very long and different and nuanced view of american history. that's not true for most americans. they don'

. >> congressman tom cole is a republican from oklahoma. he represents the fourth district. good morning and thanks for being here. >> morning. >> your colleague, representative paul ryan, released a budget plan this week. why do you support it? >> i think paul is actually one of the few people in the country that's serious about dealing with the long-term structural deficit that we're facing that i think is really the construction of our economic problems. and i'm very proud of what he's recommended on medicare, very proud that he's dealing with the sequester in his budget so we won't have devastating, across the board cuts to domestic and military programs next year, very proud he's laid out what i think is a framework for long-term tax reform. it's a solid budget, it's a thoughtful budget. in that sense it makes quite a contrast with the senate which has not produced a budget for three years, or with the president's budget which is largely solid on the critical issues in front of us. >> what congressman ryan has put forth is not expected to get through the senate. is it s

. >> congressman tom cole serving his fifth term action representing the fourth district of oklahoma which includes norman and other communities. he serves as the deputy whip for the republican conference and is a member of the republican steering committee. candidate mitt romney went to capitol hill head, the headline of the new york types says he was looking for allies. he did get some support from senator jim demint. not a flat-out endorsement but jim demint seems enthusiastic about what mitt romney has to offer. what do you think? >> i think that was a big thing. senator jim demint endorsed mitt romney in 2008 when he was running for president. but he's emerged in the last four years as obviously a very significant national leader, closely associated with the tea party movement. so i think the fact that he's speaking favorably, we're seeing other republican dozen that, suggests that the republican party is beginning to come together. doesn't mean the primary process is over, it's not. i think the process, in my view, has been helpful and has sharpened some of the candidates' skil

and i extend to my good friend, tom cole, for his leadership on this issue. the united states aided in the illegal overthrow of the kingdom of hawaii. the private native hawaiian of the traditional government. shortly there after the congress began exercising its indian affairs powers to address native hawaiian conditions and has done so this over 150 laws. 100 years later, for the united states role in the overthrow of the kingdom and the suppression of their right to self-determination was enacted. it is time to make things right and pass my bill. under my direction we will continue to advance several other important bills. the native class act and powers, native communities to implement strategies that produce strong educational outcomes for the children. ensuring tribes have the authority and resources to address issues of violence against women. these bills have the ability to thrive. as a native hawaiian working with others doing things with aloha and right and just is the cornerstone of who i am. my career is proof that being who we are as native peopl

then you hear from oklahoma republican representative tom cole who says, you know, there is a lot lesslty. and that is in large part why these candidates are staying in. they're not doing this for the party, for the cohesiveness, but they're out for themselves. >> individuals making calculations about what's best for them. i think it's hard to argue the process overall has been beneficial to romney. his favorable/unfavorable ratio has been declining. he's been forced to take lines on a variety of issues. and contraception which had been causing problems in the polls, you know, the prospect of another ten weeks of this, i think, is not an overall favorable one for republicans. but again, if santorum can hang on through april, may is going to be a very strange month, when the kind of the commentary and the media is going to be romney is the inevitable nominee. but the potential of arkansas, kentucky, indiana, north carolina, and above all, texas, crowded with the kind of voters who resisted romney all the way through, he may kind of stumble over the finish line. >> this is going to be a
