Overheard on Morning Joe

Joe: You can be controversial and respectful

Durbin and Gillibrand optimistic about 9/11 Health Bill

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL): "New York senators 'have been working on this for nine years. Republicans, when they're off-camera, understand that it's the right thing to do. I hope they give us a chance to do it before Christmas for these deserving people.'"
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY): "People want to support the 9/11 first responders. The issues will pay for them. I think we resolved them all." Watch the video.

Hart on the media and scandals
