suggestion is, look, the classic situation is, you get money from some corporate interest and then you go and do their bidding in government and here s an example of him doing precisely the opposite. but i thought the tone in john harwood s interview was notable and i think that we ll see something along those lines tomorrow when he makes this speech at cooper union in the shadow of wall street. it s not going to be one of these barn burners. he s not going to put the screws to wall street. he s going to say, can t we all get along in one form or another, saying it s in your interest to get behind reform. don t fight us. join us. chris go ahead, john. reporter: you may remember a famous quote where some politician said if you can t take their money and date their women i m editing the quote. you are. reporter: you aren t worth a darn of a yeah, that s a california phrase and i love it well. the question is, is he tough enough to keep asking for the money? and that s a
steelers quarterback ben roethlisberger for six games. now back to hardball. welcome back to hardball. there s a big fight unfolding in the state of arizona over an immigration bill that would allow local law enforcement officials, police officers, to stop a person, they suspect, is an illegal immigrant. here s illinois congressman louis gutierrez. luis gutierrez reacting to the bill yesterday in washington. let s listen. the governor of arizona should veto the bill and if she doesn t, the president of the united states barack obama should assert federal government s preeminent role in regulating and enforcing our nation s immigration laws. the lunacy of rounding up people because they look a certain way are suspected of being in violation of immigration statutes can only lead to one thing, violations of people s basic fundamental civil rights.
number four hey, sport, how much to make these questions go away? number three american needed a villain both republicans and democrats can hate. and the number one goldman sachs excuse, it s obama s fault? why are government employees filing a civil suit against goldman sachs? that s just going to be embarrassing in a few years when they all go back to work at goldman sachs. regulate these derivative markets. who can disagree with that? republicans aren t beating around the bush anymore. they say flat-out they will filibuster new rules for the nation s financial system. gop senators contend the legislation would lead to more bank bailouts. these [ bleep ] guys. sorry, there s nothing funny about people being out there screwing up the american economy. just ask anyone out there right now trying to get a job or trying to get a loan. next, bartering for health care. that s a proposal being offered
so you don t mind. let s take a look, just so he beats j.d. hayworth, that s all you care. let me two to congressman bilbray first. you re a republican. what do you make of the state of arizona saying you have to have a birth certificate to get on the ticket next time? do you think this is ad hominem. is this a bill of retainer as we used to say in the constitution classes. is this aimed directly at the president of the united states, himself, barack obama? no, chris, actually this is arizona. this is really aimed at mccain, because mccain was there s been an issue with the fact that he wasn t born in the united states. now it s interesting the fact that he s qualified to be citizen a president. you don t have to be born in the united states but a lot of people look at that but because he was born in panama and the panama canal is not was not u.s. territory, it was u.s. area to be treated as if it s territory by treaty with panama, so mccain s actually went through a lot of sam
and if we go to the bank and try to get money out and if it s not us, it s fraud. if we fry to check into a hotel and use a phony name it s fraud. go the other congressman. what about arizona? why does states try to get into the business the federal government is into? which is protecting us from illegal immigration. well, i think the same reason they re involved in the drug war, too, chris, is that this is a community problem. it s not just a washington, d.c. concern or just a border problem. this is something across border. you can imagine how successful we d number fighting the of drug dealers if we just said well, local government s not going to be involved, we will not allow the counties and cities involved, we ll do this all, just the federal government and you know it has to be a coordinated community effort across the board, and any kind of enforcement effort. this is the basis of community enforcements. yeah, okay. a problem, suppose you are a second generation mexican-a
