all that catastrophe, to use senator baucus' term, a train wreck. instead of focusing on the politics, the key is to get the policy right. now, if you look at immigration reform, for example, let's -- i know this is hard in washington, but let's set the politics aside for a minute and ask ourselves a simple question. is it a good idea, is it sound policy to tell millions of people who have been waiting in line for years to obey our laws, to play by the rules and to wait for a legal visa before they enter, to watch millions of people be given a green light to a special path to citizenship when they obeyed the law? and the answer is it's not. >> you can go ahead, maria. >> first of all, on obama care, ralph, you're just wrong on that because it's way too early to say one way or the other what his legacy will be. the numbers show now that the website is working that it actually will be on average very good for the american people. you have millions of people who could not get health care before, who are now getting it. and a lot of the people that you

us. senator cruz said directly republicans run the risk to throw away their chances of the senate. but certainly he grasps that image he feels a lot of pressure republicans held a lot of pressure because they had not been seen as the party pushing immigration reform so they have knee-jerk reaction quickly do something so we are pro immigration or hispanics with the open border but they need to knock that off. they don't need immigration reform they need to shut down the border. if i were leading the g.o.p. a would put forth a plan to close the border and offer a robust guest worker program and that's it. the democrats have not seal the border because they need that as a carrot to get amnesty if they know if they just close the border there is no reason for republicans to come along. lou: there are no accidents and the fact the republican leadership cannot articulate the reality it was ronald reagan if the icon that brought amnesty, and this president was the next to have comprehensive immigration reform and it is not fundamental tuesday republican party or all the ways that hispani

american people should not have to pay for another taxpayer funded bailout senator rubio is taking action to stop that bailout. he joins usnice to he see you, senator. >> nice to see you, greta explain what a risk corridor is for the viewers. >> risk corridor a program where insurers are told if you participate in this insurance marketplace and you miscalculate the amount of money that it's going to cost to you insure these people we will come in and make up for the difference. that's a valid concept in a healthy insurance marketplace. the problem with obamacare it is it is not a regular insurance marketplace. in fact, it's not an insurance marketplace at all. it's high risk people. they are guaranteed to lose money because not enough young healthy people are signing up. the taxpayers, the people watching this program are going to see their tax dollars going to private insurance companies to bail them out for their losses. >> all right. to put it another way, i always think of insurance companies like gambling. and it's like an insurance company going it vegas and they say that if you lose over $100 we will make the back

week where um the secretary of state john kerry a man with a number of members of the senate the us senate and congress in which they've been known to support a stronger mole robust us approach this area i'm thinking about john mccain mccain and lindsey graham of this year and it said in a carrier for is the situation and said well what are your constituents think are your constituents supportive of a more robust policy on syria and of course here this is a great degree of selling the policy that the white house nee the congress need to do to educate us as to why it's important for the us for u s national interest to act on syria. now that said i think being able to up sell. i did spend the full support to the to the us radical groups to the moderate opposition is that much easier than it is to opt to sell us strikes or to another war and at least it is that you're absolutely right the us will not stand for christmas and i won't bring in one of the plant which is a very important one in this country that's the wrong. and of course this is something that us foreign policy makers have their

we were both inspired to this position by senators who served before us. in your case, senator mansfield, who was an extraordinary leader in the united states senate and an extraordinary man when you consider his contribution to our country, serving in two world wars, if i'm mot not mistaken, perhaps in three different branches of the military. an exceptional service, which ended with an ambassadorship to japan. now senator baucus, inspired by senator mansfield, followed in his footprints in representing the state of montana, serving in one of the highest leadership spots in the united states senate and now off to an ambassadorship, which is singly the most important assignment that the united states can make. today this overwhelming vote in the united states senate is a fitting tribute to senator baucus's continued dedication to be a certificate vafnts our naismtion i wish -- to be a servant of our nation. i wish you and mel the best. we hope to get chance to come see you and to work with you to make sure that our relationship with china remains sphrorng m

senate. and on the week night we cover what happened. and on the weekend, we have booktv. >> tell usbout the district you represent and your relationship on capital hill? >> i represent the fifth district of min. we have the largest urban indian population. and we have new arrivals from somalia, from russia, from laos and we have the traditional population from northern europe, sweden, norway, and the traditional african-american tradition that is growing. but greg wilkins is from here. people start businesses and you can get any food you want. we have a strong tradition of tolerance. we have intolerance, too. but the congressman who stood against the war was here. and paul woodstone's support came from my district. and the vice president walter mondale is from. and he lost his beloved wife joan recently. so it is a remarkable place. >> your role on capital hill, you are a co-leader of the progressive caucus? >> and one of the five reps that whip hoyer relies on to count the vote. i am on the steering and policy committee and the financial service committee. i am a proud member of th

don't try to full conservatives by pretending you're one of us, senator mcconnell. >> harry reid successfully made his senate race in 2010 about something other than himself. tom daschle didn't pull that off in 2004. reid led a race that was a referendum on him. the question is whether allison g grimes is a sharon engel. she certainly doesn't look like one. ham strung by the fact that the number one issue republicans are using to attack democrats, healthcare, is performing pretty well in kentucky. still grimes describe herself as elated to get clinton's support. she spoke about that with my colleague, kasie hunt. >> i want to ask you about president barack obama. would you want him to come down and campaign for you? >> this race is one that's about putting the people of this state first, and i speak for myself and don't need any other surrogate to do that. i stand in stark contrast to the president and many of his ideas and platforms. >> national republicans has cast you as obama girl and one of their national spokespeople referred to you as an empty dress. do you think those are appropriate?

senate. the second term republican sat down with us in his office at capitol hill. >> senator bob corker when did you think about moving from business to politics? i was leading an effort in our community to try and make sure that everyone had an opportunity for a decent fit -- for decent, fit, and affordable housing. i was doing that as a civic endeavor and i was asked at the state level and i ended up going on a real board at the state level. it just certify grated. it was not about politics. it was more -- all about public policy. day, i had sold my first company at the age of 37 and a few years later decided it was something i wanted to pursue. >> your first company was construction? >> i had started working like most folks look -- when i was 13 doing all kinds of odds and ends and migrated to being a construction laborer and a rough carpenter when i graduated from college. i ended up being a construction superintendent so after four some regionalilt models around the country and learned how to build projects and i saved $8,000 so when i was 25 i went in business. i started doing a lot of

so president obama promised republican senators when he met with us last march. the administration has missed every deadline, broken every promise, and it's interesting because the last time the senate voted on the subject, 17 democrats joined every republican to support the pipeline. the obama administration is still trying to find a way to evade and to avoid having to make a decision. you know, this really ought to be embarrassing to an administration. president obama was elected to make decisions. the science is settled. the president should be embarrassed when his former secretary of energy says the decision on whether the construction should happen was a political one and not a scientific one. any objections have been heard, they have been answered. there are no more excuses. it's time for the president to make up his mind, is he going to follow the science or just the politics. he should approve the keystone x.l. pipeline. he should do it now. he should do the job that he was elected to do so middle-class americans can do the jobs that they desperately want

senator, i really appreciate it. >> thank you. \[applause] >> welcome congressman chris van hollen. thanks for joining us. >> great to be here. >> we will get started. you heard some of what the senator spoke about and i want to get your read in terms of kind of the one thing you learned about the president last night, you know, this isn't his first speech that he's making to congress, you've met with him before. was there any kind of insight that you drew? >> first, i thought the president -- \[inaudible] i want to thank michael grimm for delivering the republican response which essentially said to the american agenda, i'm going to throw the agenda over the balcony, the president's agenda. i think that sums up the republican reaction in the house. i think what we learned from the president last night is that he's someone who can bounce back from a tough year, resilient, determined not to have the country go as slow as the slowest boat which is the house of representatives. he laid out a number of specific challenges for the country and the american people. asked the congress to join him in those challen

i think newark has got some good potential, the mayor is a us senator for new jersey so i think newark options but i like philadelphia. -- >> let's get it on the record. cheryl casone, as always good to see you here. next your cup of joe could get a whole lot more expensive. local coffee chains like this one in manhattan could be hit by drought in brazil not to mention a huge hike in the price of milk. you can never have too much money. you are going to need it to buy a cup of joe.

use. >> senator rand paul also gave a speech yesterday that he is calling me civil rights voting restorationthat would apply to federal elections, voting in federal elections he said during his speech at the law center. can you talk about the significance of this? having federal legislation that would allow returning citizens to participate in federal elections would pressure some states to change their policy, particularly in florida. one of the main reasons is, there will be some kind of hardship there because how would they administer elections by allowing a returning citizen to only vote for federal candidates and then restricting them from voting for state candidates? i think that would force them to really revamp their system. i'm not relying and we are not relying on this current administration. they appear to have dug in their to evend have refused engage in dialogue with our lawmakers or even with our clergy in the state of florida. that is very evident to us they have no intentions of walking away or moving away from this jim crow type policy. >> could you explain why you think it

i appreciate my colleagues, senator warren, senator schumer and senator murray for joining us on the floor today. i think we will be joined by senator stabenow in a few moments. i appreciate them also being at an event we did yesterday in which we were kicking off the affordable care works campaign, which of course is designed to tell what has been untold for much of the last six months, which is the increasing good news about the millions of americans for which the affordable care act is working, and indeed for many of them changing their lives. an announcement was made this week that four million americans have now signed up for the private health care exchanges. over 10 million americans all across the country now have insurance today that didn't have it prior to the passage of the law, either because of these private exchanges or because of increased eligibility of medicaid or because of the law's provision that young men and women under the age of 26 could stay on their parents' insurance. over 10 million people now all across the country have access to insurance that they didn't

[laughter] >> senator begich. >> to you and the ranking member thank you for allowing me on the fly to do a few things and i appreciate that greatly. i do have other issues that we will deal with hopefully as the process goes forward. i'm still concerned on larger issues but i want to thank you for the work and how long it has taken to bring us together so again thank you very much. i will work on the other issues as we move forward. >> any other comments? >> it too want to thank the chairman and ranking member and i think there is obviously more work that needs to be done on this but i want to say this. i think both of you recognize the status quo is unacceptable for everyone. for the post office whether you work for the post office, the taxpayers everyone so i want to thank you for working together on this. >> but he say first of all thank you very much for those comments. i want to say to dr. coburn how much i appreciate the way you have approached this. we basically made a blood oa

just to remind us all, every two years, beginning of everything congress, gao gives us a list. senator johnson heard me to say that before, we use that as our to-do list in this committee to figure out ways to save money and get better results for less money. we're thankful for that to-do list. in response to this historic announcement house oversight and government reform committee chairman darrell issa and this is a quote from darrell, the comptroller general has made it very clear that we've not prepared properly, that the federal government has a financial risk that we have not properly mitigated, said i think it's a wake-up call to us all. i couldn't agree more. gao's report is a call to action for both congress and the administration, warning us that our country must start thinking now about how to better prepare and adapt to a new climate reality. today our witness from kwchlt ao will further detail these financial risks to our communities, to our taxpayers and hopefully offer some commonsense solutions that my colleagues and i can work with the administration to see implemented

us. senator martinez, a pleasure to talk with you. nice to see you. >> thank you.see you, chuck. and i have to tell you, it's time to say go 'noles. >> oh. well, only in one-half of my household. all right, sir. thanks. i now want to go to the political impact of this. adam smith, political editor for "tampa bay times." adam, when you look at what the cuban vote did in 2012, you look at a democratic candidate for a statewide office in florida felt comfortable doing this. is it fair to say that cuba is no longer the third rail of florida politics? >> yeah, i do think it's definitely no longer the third rail of politics. you know, in a vast majority of the state, really nobody cares about this issue, but in miami-dade, such a population center, it's a driving issue. so i do think in a way the safer position is to support the continued embargo, because that's an issue that motivates exiles who strongly support it even as public opinion is shifting to more and more support for sort of thawing relations. >> what i found fascinating about 2012, and correct me if i'm wron

let's go to byron dorgan, who is the former senator of north dakota. he joins us tonight. e you with us. what do you make of this legal ruling and the way the president has handled this to this point? >> ed, first of all, i support building the pipeline. we're building it from cushing down south to the gulf now, some of it is being built. i think all right already. make a decision on that. i know that there is great passion on both sides. and whatever he sides, one side or the other is going to be disappointed. but i hope the president decides to go ahead and build the pipeline. i'd sooner see that oil come south. you have to believe that the canadians aren't going to produce that you can have an impact by laying in front of that pipe. i don't believe that's the case. the canadians are going to produce their resources. >> what about the quality of the oil and the tar sands and how toxic it is as opposed to other refined oil in the world? >> i understand the point, but that oil is going to be produced. that's my point. and the oil can go west and then go to asia, or it can c

they made no bones about the act both privately and frankly to some of us in senate publicly signs the european agreement at the end of last year they would have come down legal sanctions including possibly cutting off goes upplies so it is not is surprising the russians are engaging in a show of force but mistake to a grave go farther than this. my hope is in the coming days coalition e a government in kiev to have the support not just of that section of the government but the east crimea as well. >> you said the united states inds to stand by its friends ukraine. what those friends really need is cash. extent is the united states willing or able to pony billions of dollars ukraine needs now? > well, obviously it is more likely that that amount of money, whether that number is $7 it is or $38 billion, likely somewhere in between, will come from the i.m.f. a lot of states has influence there and can show significant leadership. a smaller ing about aid package that could be approved by the united states that is likely to be in the hundreds of millions of billions.ot tens of i spoke to t

i have to say that you were here when democratic senator bob casey was here speaking with us, and he ical with the administration on how they are doing. you have room for agreement there. >> i do agree with what that the democratic senator said. senator casey is correct about the lack of strategic vision. this administration doesn't have one. i suggested the other day that instead of asking himself, what would carter do? what mr. obama really aught to do is ask himself, what would ronald reagan do? it is impossible, i think, at this point to see carter' vision. his vision was to end the evil empire. so everything he did to include right from the very beginning when moammar gadhafi threatened the line of death, he didn't get up to say that's a red line in the sand. he told the u.s. navy you will cross the gulf and if they do, shoot them down. they did. no big speeches. there will be consequences. all this bluster from the administration has destroyed one of the crucial elements of diplomacy. and this administration has no credibility on either of the visible issues you can see today, u

us. not all visitors to washington after ae to go public senate negotiations like this. we think it is a real mark of respect for the council and your commitment to an open dialogue in this important area. we wish you and your team the best of luck in this difficult months ahead. we all have a stake in your success. >> thank you. [applause] >> we thought he could handle it. he wanted people, young people of both races, to come into the supreme court as they only by the hundreds and thousands and somebody to say, who is that man up there? and somebody would say, he is a negro. thurgood marshall served as solicitor general to the johnson administration. hear more from the justice as c-span radio concludes its series on oral history interviews with former supreme court justices. you can hear it online at event or. -- c-span.org. >> coming up, interviews with senator bob corker and senator club which are -- klobuchar. and president obama talked about fuel efficiency standards for trucks. the president ordering new for medium and heavy-duty trucks be issued by 2016. although

joining us senator john thune, chairman of the senate republican conference and member of the senateance committee. senator, nice to have you back on the program. >> good morning, jenna. nice to be with you. jenna: a lot of criticism of president's use of executive actions and push on the economy as we mentioned. do something different today for viewers and not go down the path of criticism and talk about the republican plan. the president is traveling all over the country. what is the republican plan? what are your major themes when it comes to job growth and the economy. >> for one thing we would do right away, jenna, and i think it is ironic the president is traveling to minnesota today because his medical device tax in obamacare is costing thousand of jobs in a state where they employ literally 30,000 people empty medical device manufacturing business. so we would repeal that. we actually got 79 votes in support of repealing the medical device tax last year in the budget, which included 30 democrats. there is bipartisan support for it. the president issued a veto threat on that.

herenk that people coming really attempting to be great united states senators versus potentially using the united states senate as an operation to do something else, that has nothing to do with the great united states senator. that is taking the problems and issues we have and taking them iad-on and to try to stretch, find so many and it happens at the white house, too. i find folks being afraid of trying to stretch their base and trying to get to a place where .ou actually solve a problem and to me, having political support is all about trying to if we could stretch some, we can get to a place that makes our country stronger and still live within the principles that respect -- respect of folks ran on. there seems to be more recently, it has not it about that, i will put it that way. let me say this. there are a lot of really great people here. i will say this. i came appear with a healthy disrespect of the united states senate. frustrationse are of serving in the united states senate. i know it is sometimes difficult for the american people to see this, but there are some outstanding

senate. even though some of us might want to because we lost privileges on the floor. so this violated parliament procedure and he can not have and we move on. -- cannot -- >> senator, i would urge you to withdraw your objection and let us move forward and vote on the parliament as substituted and we will visit this issue sooner rather than later on the floor. and you will have every opportunity with every democrat to craft that proposal. i think we will have a good chance of getting it done and doing something start and get the input from law enforce agencies and others. i would urge you not to object and let us move forward. >> i would always say if you object to the ruling of the chair and you are successful, this committee will never operate affectively again because you will allowed president in the community for a third degree amendment which is a disaster for us. >> mr. chairman, i understand what the ranking member is but we will determine if those happen down the line. this is an important enough issue. more important than the interest we talked about, we are t
