so p.k., i want to start with you. we were texting about this when it happened and you were also mind-blown, having covered that moment. what does this is a to you about the republican party right now? to put it in perspective, dick cheney in his eight years as vice president was sort of the most trusted ally of congressional republicans. he was often the guy that the bush team sent up to try and close deals. there was an epic night where they sent him up to convince house republicans to vote for the wall street bailout for t.a.r.p. it went terribly, but he was still believed the guy to close the deals with house republicans, in the late 70s and 80s. he is still who he is and believes in a strong national security and a lot of the traditional conservative reagan,

last thing before we go tonight is the death of a legislative giant of the last century. birch bayh was a liberal democrat from the conservative state of louisiana. he rose through a farming family. u.s. army and then eventually law school. years later after three terms in the u.s. senate, he was taken down by the conservative reagan wave of 1980. beaten by a young upstart named dan quayle. but while birch bayh was in the senate, starting with his arrival in 1963, he left a mark. he was the author of title ix, the land mark federal legislation that outlawed gender discrimination in schools receiving federal funds. it changed the face of women s athletics by forcing schools to provide equal resources. he was the only person since our founding fathers to author two
