Aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in and out of the shadows, then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to come together. >> now, the fact that ted cruz is now seen by some as insufficiently hardline is a testament to just how far right the immigration debate in the republican party has shifted. when cruz was proposing legal st...

To citizenship but would have allowed a legal status for undocumented immigrants. >> i dont want immigration reform to fail. i want immigration reform to pass. and so i would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in and out of the shadows, then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to ...

There are concerns, certainly among republicans. you mentioned the quote from john mccain. hes taking a hardline, but the man now stepping forward to offer himself as the next house speaker, kevin mccarthy, is also speaking sharply about how the president and this administration interact with putin. concerned that the president has been too much rolling out a red carpet for putin, not doing enough to sort of divide the differing missions and to not do enough, in kevin mccarthys view, to sanction...

That lucky lucky kevin mccarthy is inevitably going to become speaker of the house, but he would not answer the concerns of the hardliners who forced out john boehner and who made john boehners tenure as speaker so miserable. and honestly if you look at your history the last time republicans in congress had to make an unexpected change in leadership in response to unexpectedly strong pressure from the right, they picked steve scalise. i mean, they went unexpectedly and controversially right-wing...

But now he is poised to become third in line to the presidency. maybe. when house speaker john boehner shocked everyone by announcing today that he was resigning as speaker and resigning from congress, no speaker had ever up and resigned out of nowhere in the middle of a congressional session before. but when john boehner announced his resignation, the common wisdom quickly settled onto two facts about this shock move. the first one was that this resignation was brought on by the attacks on john...

Dont believe that its been said that you should not put everything on the table but it was and seems the headline that the conservatives saw the word compromise as the dirty word. >> right. and so, okay. so john boehner departing, in doing so, theyve been able to punt the government shutdown until we get to december. well deal with the government shutdown possibility, were going to deal with potentially another debt ceiling crisis and that is im thinking if it is kevin mccarthy, poor him. how do...

And europes response has been muddled and divided. you only have to look north of here to hungary to see a hardline and north of hungary you see germany which is welcoming migrants with open arms. they simply dont know how to cope with this. >> bill can i ask you, the manner which they arrive on this island, are they at least on sturdy boats? weve heard just deplorable conditions, lots of times people are traveling via smugglers, dying on board these boat, they are stacked literally on top of ea...

Than men are. you need these votes if you want to win the white house. and comments such as rick santorum said not even to save the life of the mother are going to alienate women and alienate men as well. >> dorian, the candidates talked a lot about building a wall instead of a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. hows that for minority outreach? >> i can only laugh and its really sad. you know, there are tears of sorrow for the republican party, because as victoria just pointed out th...

And so youre back to where we are today, which is again, i think drawing a hardline with abaddi, who needs our presence there. tell him, you have us so long as you make a commitment that you have a military thats made up of sunni and shiite. >> this is the problem, we keep coming back to the question at the heart of this, which,are you going to genuinely create an iraqi state thats stitched together at the highest levels? and will that be a functional state in which everyone feels like they have...

That it doesnt fit into and whether that hardline will hold as we get into the election is quite an interesting question. i think most americans are probably skeptical of iran. i dont know how much policy influences elections that directly, the details and nuances of dealing with iran i think could get lost in a lot of shouting essentially. >> and i want to get your thoughts, blake mentioned at the top the president put out that was directed at young people in iran urging them to put pressure on...
