would push immigration legislation this year and as a result, this is inside the beltway, i guess, but lindsey graham, the one republican supporter of the climate change legislation, announced that he would drop off. i think president obama has established a habits of making grand promises which he sometimes is not constrained to keep and this is pure speculation but a lot will depend on how the major news media play not just the statement but the news conference that is held and the "washington post" and "new york times" and "wall street journal" may force president obama to say something that he would rather not say about pushing immigration. it depends a lot on -- afraid to day -- whether or not it is a slow news day on may 19 and may 20. >> sure. >> i wanted to pursue juan's misery and in talking about felipe calderon's potential legacy. i remember in this country in 1994, disastrous midterm elections for the clinton administration. i remember a lot of people saying about president clinton, he didn't do anything big, he was always giving press conferences, talking about things like school

. >> lindsey gramham? the microphone is on. >> you have said that bear stearns had given a lot of attention to the mortgages that made up their security portfolios. can you elaborate on what you did, to try to make certain that these portfolios had quality underneath? >> i am not certain that i can testify to that, exactly. but i will try to answer the question. there stearns was in the business of securitized and a variety of different mortgage loans. we made secure the loans from the very high-quality borrowers, with tight credit scores. generally ones that would be too large for fannie mae or freddie mac programs. we made security mortgages that would be one step below the credit curve, all the way down to the various kinds of subprime loans. the most important aspect of doing this, and certainly one of the important aspects of doing this, was making certain that there was full disclosure, but exactly what was the nature of the underlying loans. the market had an appetite for purchasing the different lo

to his credit, senator lindsey graham from south carolina has made some proposal. he's been a little bit on the silent end of that conversation. i believe it was march 20th editorial in the "washington post" appeared with senator schumer protecting a framework. they are not perfect. we know as we debate the issue there's some things we're not going to like. and i got to tell you angie, as an active member of national ocean of counties which representative 2400 counties in the nation and privileged to serve on the task force, i've had to debate a resolution in support of comprehensive immigration reform by in this organization. i have to tell you it was one of my toughest political debates i have ever had because there were strong feelings against supporting anything that says comprehensive immigration reform. very strong views but we hammered out and we sat down eye-to-eye shoulder to shoulder. we looked at one another and hammered out a resolution which is now public on the website that does call for comprehensive immigration reform with all the things border secu

john maineland, scottish liberal democrat, lindsey patterson, scottish conservative and unionist, 4,258. i declare gordon brown elected to serve in parliament as a member for the kirkcaldy. >> i hope we will be able to hear from gordon brown. yes. he has notes for a speech coming out. his majority goes up by nearly 5,000 votes. >> i thank my fellow candidates for the dignified manner in which they fought this campaign and can i thank this great challenge which is now a central focus of our whole community life. i want to thank the staff for what they have done. let me thank the returning officer and the staff who administered this count with such speed and courtesy and care, insuring that everyone who has met the rules has had the chance to vote as i hope and believe it is the right of citizens everywhere throughout our country. let me say to the people of this great place there is no greater privilege to snerve parliament the people you have grownup with, men and women whose children have grownup here. a few yards from here is the home i grew up in which i was young. immediately across

host: darrell issa in this twitter comment -- guest: i was talking to lindsey graham yesterday. seven members of the judiciary committee have written the attorney-general suggesting an independent counsel take a look at this. these guys do not do this sort of thing lightly. and jokingly, but not really, i was asking him if he remembers in watergate those the dirty tricks, and he said that is just how the system once. that scooter libby thing, that is just politics. nobody said any of those things. they had congressional hearings, special counsel's. it will be interesting to see how this is treated. a lot depends on how the press puts it, but there are some pretty clear statutes out there. section 600 of the federal penal code says basically you cannot offer somebody a federal job for political considerations, in order for a political quid quo pro. pro. so if sestak is correct, they have a problem. the problem is, they are hunkering down with their lawyers to figure of the wording so that both sestak and the white house can be correct. apparently, it is proving to be a challenge.

senators came together with a proposal that follows the bipartisan architecture senator shumer and senator lindsey graham from south carolina have been discussing for months in a way to try to unstick the process and create the platform for an open bipartisan solutions driven conversation. what it includes is some of the measures that i think many folks have been talking about for years, smart voter enforcement, employer verification, a system that requires those here illegally to come forward, pay fines, pay taxes, learn english, and fixing our legal immigration system so that we don't end up where we are today in a couple of years. so that kind of proposal came forward. it actually includes a lot of elements that republics have been supporting. so we think it's a viable way to now start moving in the solution direction. host: back to the phones as we continue our discussion regarding u.s. immigration policy. caller: i've been listening to what she's saying but they're not taking into conversation that they're draining the state of california. we are an illegal city. it's so full of illegals unti

you know, this is -- i think is that lindsey graham himself said this as articulately as anyone could. for him it's a values issue, and it's a next generation values issue. in that sense while i think the oil spill in the gulf of mexicot on the one hand makes this a mex much more difficult deal to pult together bechiause an important part of the coalition for together.he bill in the senate prns forhat includes provisions for drill, baby, drill for more offshore drilling, there is more of a moral charge that i think t the oil spill just helps drawha attention to.pill the chinese side is just very hard to really get arms around because, you know, it's just very hard to make generalizations about a country with 1.# million people -- 1.2 billion people, 600 or 500 million that live in rural m poverty who are literally dying to move into the cities to work in factories. yet there is certainly a government commitment to the issue, and the thing that drives that is the extraordinary impact that natural resources and natural environment play on natl chinese society. on having that many people

senator lindsey graham who was really in trouble with coming with the free market dropped off of the bill. it is unclear its prospects for passage. it remains a top priority because we believe our energy independence in transforming our use of energy is both essential to our national security and to our long-term economy. lots of other countries are out there moving in a green direction a lot faster than we are. we need to catch up with want to be competitive. it is a high priority for us. i hope it can still get past this year. >> do you have a question? >> i am no historian, but i try to keep up with what is going along. it just seems to me like this administration has taken on more big issues in such a short period of time than any other administration that i am aware of. how many more big issues do we have? [laughter] how many more can we handle? how much can converse struggle at the same time? -- how much can congress juggle? >> these big issues were not one of our choosing. it is true that we have a big agenda because the country has a lot of big issues that we are grappling wi
