Stand up, john dingell wont be there, a lot of guys in the congress are not anti-gun in any way. bobby casey is not going to be there. i dont think joe manchin is going to be there despite his conversations. is schumer going to do it? if its a big city guy, you can kill the idea right up front. who is the country boy or country woman who will do this thing? lets get a majority vote for it? whos going to do that? >> youre right. i think the crucial thing, particularly in the senate, is we need so...

Defense -- this is not a small bore cabinet position. this is a big one. this is a biggy. i think ultimately unless chuck hagel in his meeting, his one-on-one meeting with schumer, something in the confirmation hearing, something disqualified comes out. i think this will be a kind of hold your nose and vote for it because ultimately his loyalty to president obama is higher than his desire. >> it will be an anguished swroet. >> he elizabeth be thrilled to do it, and he will probably not talk a lo...

Accusations when i was running as senator of pennsylvania in 2010. senator schumer called me and came in to philadelphia and met with the jewish literee leaders having understood having been in the military, we would have laid down our lives for the defense of israel. i went to the middle east with senator hagel and heard him talk about having the strength of having america defend israel. my take on end of the day, senator schumer critically will probably do what he did once for america, defend ...

And i think obama basically is good at setting traps. >> they better have some on the other side doing the attacks that somewhat of a war record. your thoughts about hagel. then well move on to the crap coming. >> personally i like chuck hagel. my opinion is definitely a minority in the senate. its not just republicans. and i think that -- well, i think he doesnt know the senate well. hes not using his political capital wisely. i think the problem hes got here is hes going to have a set of democ...

He came out against designating the revolutionary guards as terrorists. mccain is equivocal, he has been critical but he hasnt committed himself. if he comes out in favor of hagel in the end, he will also be. if schumer and mccain oppose him, he could be defeated. >> bret: one-word answers. will one of the nominees go down? >> if it was it would be hagel. but give him a 3 to 1 advantage. >> no. >> maybe. >> bret: stay tune to the washington latest solution to the nations debt problem. e pro. but...
