i'm assuming i know the answer to the man from massachusetts is joseph warren. i have wondered since i've been here wise in their bridge named after joseph warren? >> yeah. speed reading the book there was a ridge named after joseph warren. can you tell me what happened to it? >> my history of boston passed 1776 is very thin. joseph warren was the hero of his day. he was someone that was a revered icon of the time, and would perhaps have been a founding father if he had lived but he didn't live. so he did not become part of that pantheon that we are so aware of today. but it's interesting, i loyalists who did not necessarily appreciate joseph warren's efforts probably gave him some of the greatest praise where it years after his death and this was as much an attempt to take it to george washington but he said if joseph warren had lived instead of dying in the battle of bunker hill washington would have been in obscurity which just gives you a sense of how highly respected he was. and how absolutely pivotal he was to the events that created our country and the ci

if you actually tracked what happened in massachusetts, when massachusetts passed the law under mitt romney, we are way ahead of the sign-up that massachusetts had at this same time. so i'm actually excited about the chance of talking about all these people who have insurance. the fact is, republicans in the next elections will be talking about taking away people's health insurance. we already have 4 million people signed up through the affordable care act, through medicaid, through the exchanges, getting private health churns, and the children's health insurance program. we'll have something we haven't had in years, which is republicans talk about repeal, actually taking away benefits from people. i think that will be a good debate. >> you and neera have used term "signups." it's a curious term you keep using. >> enrolled. >> the ultimate goal. >> enrolled. >> fine, we'll use your term. the ultimate goal is to deliver health insurance and health care to americans. if it's true what you say that hundreds of thousands have signed up. the goal is 7 million, you have a month or two -- >

senator from massachusetts. while she greatly regrets she cannot be with us tonight, she sent us a video instead. please note that this video was taped before the events of the government shutdown. >> good evening, and thank you to the courtesy of the planning committee for inviting me to join you tonight. i wish i could be with you in person but we are going to have to settle for this video. i am glad to be here to mark the 175th anniversary of angelina grimke's historic speech to the massachusetts general assembly. it is an incredible time to celebrate the legacy of courageous women in the abolitionist movement. their efforts grew into the fight for suffrage and equal rights. this anniversary is also a reminder of the powerful impact we can have when we make our voices heard and we stand up for what we believe in. i never planned to get into politics. i spent pretty much my whole career as a teacher, and as a law professor, i taught bankruptcy and did research on the economic squeeze on middle class families.

the troubled web site in massachusetts led the state to stop paying the main contractor, c.g.i., which was also the largest contractor for the failed original version of the federal web site healthcare.gov. jean yang is the executive director of the massachusetts health exchange. >> the system that is in place right now is not performing very well. that has translated to many frustrating experiences. >> reporter: in response, massachusetts officials say they will guarantee enrollment or give one month of temporary coverage to the tens of thousands of residents who applied on paper. in a statement, c.g.i. says it's still working with state officials and: next wednesday, new year's day, obamacare coverage will begin, but with the federal web site now mostly repaired, jeff, some of the biggest gaps in coverage could come from state web sites that have not been repaired. >> glor: wyatt andrews, thank you very much. for two russian cosmonauts and all day space walk ended with a glitch. that story is just ahead. ctile - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use h

kennedy's them was i will do more for massachusetts. it is somewhat ironic because in some sense kennedy was charging bowater with being is that really kind of senator he won the beat. that was what he thought a senator should do a saw that it was electorally a vulnerability. he pushed very are an affront. so when kennedy was elected, as far politician. the first thing he did was a symbol of very, very detailed economic plan for massachusetts and new england. he hired ted forstmann who came out of his top aides to assemble is very detailed economic plan. and there had been a steady in the boston federal reserve bank. they had a lot to draw from. plataea this massive document. kennedy in his first month in the senate gave 32-hour speeches on his economic agenda for massachusetts. he later turned this agenda into dozens of bills. he wrote a hundred 60 page book on his agenda for massachusetts. he actually put together a delegation of new england senators. they would meet twice a month to talk among the issues here research shows that

we're both from massachusetts. i grew up in the town where whittier was from so i had whittier rammed down my throat as a girl. didn't like him much, and when the library of america called me to do the book of whittier, thought, oh, well, all right. and i re-read him and he -- i had been too young for him, and besides being a very good poet, he was a wonderful man in many ways, and was a long-time abolitionist, which mean he was even more than antislavery. he didn't want any gradual ending. so i was interested in these literary figures and they're role in history. >> i think it's interesting, brenda and i kind of come from history -- come to history from a similar literary place. my graduate degree is in american literature, and i live on nantucket, largely because i really like moby dick. >> he does. it's great. >> i wrote a little book about that. >> i'm a fan. >> and -- likewise, but continuing the -- i was actually named for nathaniel hawthorne. >> really? >> yeah. it said that his biography of franklin pearce

>> we'll have a former senator from massachusetts and scott brown. >> great to have you here today. >> good to see you governor. >> i worry a lot about the divisions in the republican party and outside groups that spend millions to attack other republicans. how do we so the difference between republicans and democrats and liberals and conservative other than showing the questions so mi noughtment>> and i am parapraising. you have a spend verses an enemy. and we are taking people who have similar beliefs and we are fighting over the scrapes and we could be uniting. i always felt as i was a republican. my mom and dad were married four times each. my mom was on welfare and had challenges. but when i chose to vote for president reagan at 18 years old. i did it because it was the party of our paternity. and what we are fining now. it is not good to be a republican. it is a litmus test that we have to follow. there has to be rom for you and he and rand paul and ted cross. >> we have to say we are the party of prosperitiy. >> kwh you won the senate societies in massachusetts. it was a shock.

but in new england, the massachusetts d.o.t. says they're ready. >> we have almost 4,000 pieces of equipment. we have both snow spreaders and plows and really heavy pieces of equipment, as well as some specialized snow blowing equipment. >> and yet despite the blizzard-like conditions, not everything came to a halt. the annual army game went on as planned. the navy midshipman beat army for the 12th straight year in a row, 34-7. and erin flanagan got her wish of a white wedding. the pottstown, pennsylvania, bride and her groom said their i dos in the middle of a storm. >> i wanted a white wedding, and i wanted it to snow, and i think snow's beautiful because i'm from massachusetts and i got it. >> you hit the jackpot. >> yes, i did! >> no coat or anything. >> nope, they are braving it! >> well, congratulations. >> and by the way, that was cnn's alexander field reporting. >>> if you're planning to travel today, you know, maybe think twice, and that's why. >> and i'm one of those possible travelers. we'll see if i get out. that mas

that he's a moderate or that he's from massachusetts? >> probably that he's from massachusetts. as you know, that's not always the worst thing to be. as mike dukakis, who won new hampshire, john kerry, paul tsongas. but there isn't any question that he's going to have that carpetbagger tag to deal with, particularly in a general election against jeanne shaheen, who as your video pointed out in the opener, she's under some assault over obamacare. no question about it. but this lady's the gold standard in democratic politics. since she had the killer rolodex for jimmy connor in 1975 she's been a rock star. she lost one election when she committed the venal sin -- she supported a sales tax. and as governor lost the u.s. senate race. six years later she takes out a rising star in new hampshire politics, johnny sue knew, retires him, and now she's in the senate and doesn't look safe but looks very strong. >> kevin, one of the veteran reporters that i have followed for years, knows new hampshire politics inside and out. good to see you. thanks for coming on. >> same here. thanks, chuc

election in massachusetts history. only 13% of people turned out. 13% of voters in that district turned out to choose a replacement for ed markey, when he got kicked upstairs to the u.s. senate in a special election earlier this year. so, yes, massachusetts now has a new member of congress, one of the very few women that massachusetts has ever elected to federal office, and that is very exciting, except that nobody actually bothered to show up when it came time to decide whether or not that would happen. do not despair, though. turns out, this is not the new normal, there is no reason to extrapolate from that result in massachusetts and say, ah, that's the way it's going to be now. and we know that, because less than a week after that election, this past weekend, on saturday, rhode island proved them wrong. saturday was a terrible, terrible day on the east coast in terms of weather. just one of those storms that, i don't know, maybe looked pretty in retrospect on sunday when you could see all the snow that had fallen,

it's up and running in massachusetts, doing just fine. >> well, you know, massachusetts is a debatable situation because the debt there has risen so high. affordable healthcare law in massachusetts is the driver of that debt. wait time for doctors has increased exponentially in massachusetts. it's not sugar plumb fairies. let's stay with this thread on the basic law. i want to be fair to this law, okay? i mean, i'm not predicting doom for the law. my prediction is 75% that it will not work. based upon the information that we're getting. because, you just pointed out that some people now are starting to sign up. it's not easy to do so. even now but some people are. but you know who those people who are signing up are, do you you not? do you know who they are primarily? >> i don't know exactly who they are but a lot of people. >> do you know what state they are in? do you know? >> a lot of people preexisting conditions signing up. that's the general idea behind it. >> that's right. >> it's the people who are going to benefit directly from obamacare. either getting it free or heavily subs

massachusetts barack obama -- is that a formula for anybody or was there something special and historic about his campaign. you're not seeing it on msnbc among the louder members of the party, but you notice as far as i can tell the donors are not fleeing. you did not see a bunch of senators condemning them and renouncing all ties to the group. there were some who backed up a little under pressure. but basically elizabeth warren was not successful in getting senate democrats to embrace her view of basically an antibusiness agent. >> briefly, mary, who is going to win that debate? >> i think the center left will win. the perpetual motion machine that barack obama sold people is starting to come unglued. >> okay. mary, thank you. we have to take one more break. when he come walk, hits and misses of the week. this is the quicksilver cash back card from capil one. it's not the "limit the cash i earnvery month" card. it's not the "i only earn decent rewards at the gas station" card. it's the no-games, no-signing up, everyday-rewarding, kung-fu-fighting, silver-lightning-in-a-bottle, bringing

that was their relationship in massachusetts. back and forth on the train, and at the middle of the strike, he went home. i read it was his son's birthday right in the middle there, but that was to take the hard decisions. another place he went was to the little cemetery to see his ancestors who had come over much earlier in massachusetts. so his family was important to him, and when you hear grace say the phrase safety valve, that is a little bit ominous. it sounds a little bit like anger and unmodern. but she was that and she was content with it. >> next is sean, watching us in louisville, kentucky. >> i just want to say how much i appreciate this series. i want to see if your guest would comment on the death of the coolidges' son and how it affected mrs. coolidge? >> we will talk about the death of her son because it was so important to the parents and to his election in its own right. we will catch up with that story later on. you asked about the first lady's portrait. we will show that to you. when you have the opportunity t

they send their attorney, fred moore, to massachusetts. and he realized right away if they have any chance in an appeal process, they have to put aside the case. and moore tries what he had limited scweses -- success. in 1924, he got a break of sort. stalin takes over. he is more of a realist. all he can hope to do is to create an image of the united states in a world that is less than what is now. it's not a melting pot. it's a horrible place filled with racist who will put innocent italians in jail for nothing. the politics. he sets tout do that through the communist international. they get ahold of the case, and they start doing what the word is agitation and propaganda. you agitate and great pop began data around. they stage worldwide parades all over the world it's a lie. it's a first time really in the history of america we are introduced conspicuous lying just to get your way. and neutral facts went out the windy. they simply did not care. now, as in 1925-26 as is today with you create this you attract a lot of celebrities. it's jus

now, jackson won the massachusetts primary. i handed out a lot of leaflets. [laughter] but as you know, of course, he didn't win the nomination. and that was because despite the fact that he was a wonderful human being, very smart and had the right policies, i hate to say this, but he was exceedingly dull. and it was said of scoop jackson that if he ever gave a fireside chat, the fire would go out. [laughter] i sure knew how to pick winners back then. [laughter] the other -- i go on in the book to talk about the '90s, of course, to write about the '90s, and here's what was the most remarkable thing about the '90s. nothing happened. [laughter] nothing world historical happened. i was aware of the absence of things happening in a way that almost scared me. what i mean to say is the great ideological struggles, existential struggles of the century stopped overnight. christmas 1991, there is no soviet union. i never imagined that i would live to see the end of the soviet union. and here it happened overnight, quietly in the night. and we have a decade of unrivale

we all think massachusetts is where this -- where it really works. "boston globe" reported this on saturday. with three weeks left in the year. not one of the thousand of massachusetts residents who need to enroll in new health insurance plans by january 1st, has been able to do so, through the state insurance marketplace that was revamped to comply with the national affordable care act. and the article goes on to report a lot of difficulties that the massachusetts site has interacting and completing getting to the point, what they consider, an actual enrolled health insurance customer. and they haven't achieved it for one. >> well -- again. there are other states that have had complications as well. not just the federal site. maryland has had its problems too. and hopefully these things will be resolved. and the connections will -- and the computer systems will work again. we know that certain states have solved it. so it is not an impossible problem. and, again. i think it is a matter of -- the end of open enrollment period, which is march 31st, th

i ask the senator from massachusetts. both senators are here. the senior senator to be recognized for just a moment, and then the junior senator to speak on this issue. but senator menendez and senator isakson are our lead. again, new jersey, georgia, two very different states but very similar challenges. they have people, middle-class families, small business owners that have poured their life savings into homes and businesses only to be destroyed by a piece of legislation that had great intentions but disastrous results, and we don't have a lot of time to fix this. we need to do this before this body leaves, which is next week. myself, i'm on the bill, of course, senator cochran, senator merkley, senator vitter, senator hoeven, senator scott from south carolina, senator wicker, senator heitkamp from north dakota, senator schumer, senator gillibrand, senator markey from massachusetts. of course senator warren from massachusetts, senator gillibrand, senator nelson from florida, senator begich from alaska, senator manchin from west virginia. ther
