. >> the senate, in my opinion, steve, has been buried in a procedural morass. >> senator reid, you are the majority leader in the senate. you set the agenda for the senate. you bear a responsibility just as much a responsibility as senator mcconnell to make the system work and to do some things. >> i believe that if you look at what linden johnson had to do when he was the leader as i am, was a different world. why? do you know how many filibusters he had to try to override? one. me? 248. >> laura: sounds like the senator is playing the blame game to me. despite all this happy talk he is still bracing for a fight unless he gets his way. >> i'm going to do everything within my power to be as conciliatory as possible. i want to work together. but i want everyone to also understand you can't push us around. democratic strategist marianne marsh and here in d.c. fox news analyst and democrat kirsten powers. i love democrat right in the intro. >> yeah. >> laura: what about this? it sounds nice. let's get along. kum ba yah, hug, huddle together. harry reid had a lot of power in the last coupl

. -- morasse. using redevelopment makes sense. there is enormous public benefits. [speaker not understood]. [laughter] >> why don't we exhaust that option before moving on to affordable housing or parks or making the density something that it shouldn't be in this neighborhood? >> that is a a message from the commission we'll be happy to carry on to our partners in city hall -- [multiple voices] >> at least one commissioner. we'll sign the petition. >> commissioner sugaya. >> a couple things. isn't upc involved in bay lands? the primary developer of that, i assume? given that situation and their continued interest in this one, i guess there's another, not ifc related, but it seems like the only thing in the way in some sense are the city boundaries. and there isn't a way to bridge the two in some fashion. i don't know what i'm talking about here, but it seems like if you have a developer that's already moving ahead in the passion on one side of the line and they're interested in something on the other side of the line, you know, the only thing preventing some cooper

a procedural morass. >> kroft: senator reid, you are the majority leader in the senate. you set the agenda for the senate. you bear a responsibility just as much of a responsibility as senator mcconnell to make the system work and to do some things. >> reid: i believe that, if you look at what lyndon johnson had to do when he was the leader, as i am, it was a different world. why? you know how many filibusters he had to try to override? one. me? 248. >> kroft: one of the complaints, and it has been directed at both of you and both of your parties, is that it's all become about political gamesmanship. it's all become about winning. it's all become about embarrassing the other party and blaming them for the failures of... of the institution. >> mcconnell: the american people are not as interested in the... the procedural nuances of the senate as they are the results for the country. and when you step back from this and look at the results over the last four years, the american people give us a failing grade. they don't like what we did. >> kroft: you don't think that peopl

you really felt when you were 19 and pulled the trigger, and they don't get it, then you're in this morassd then maybe you'll lose a friend. and maybe the girl won't like you. and i mean, there's all these things that -- when you come back from war, most people, like vietnam veterans, were 19 and 20 years old. and so, you know, you're worried about, you know, whether your hair looks right at that age. >> you write in "what it's like to go to war" that "the violence of combat assaults psyches, confuses ethics, and tests souls." this is the result, not only of the violence you suffer, but the violence you inflict? >> absolutely. yes, you have to take that into consideration. i mean, we are raised in a judeo-christian culture. i mean, "thou shalt not kill," even for the atheists in our culture is a tenet you just do not violate unless you're, you know, crazy or a sociopath or something. and so all your young life, that's drilled into your head. and then suddenly, you know, you're 18 or 19 and they're saying, "go get 'em and kill for your country." and then you do that. and then you come back.

what we ended up with was a morass.unions had been more flexible, we could still buy twinkie gate. >> someone donated an autographed painting by salvador dali. instead of selling it on the floor. goodwill is auction is it off. bid something up over $18,000. >> i love anything with a melted clock and lots of ants in it, tyler. anything with -- i think it's great. who knows if they really knew but it is going to bring in a lot of money for goodwill. i'm a big dali fan. he was very prolific. >>> in the next hour, how big dividend stocks could fare, deal or no deal. a lot hanging in the balance there. we'll be right back. because i can trade tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 directly online in 12 markets in their local currencies. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i use their global research to get an edge. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 their equity ratings show me how schwab tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 rates specific foreign stocks tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 based on things like fundamentals, momentum and risk. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and i also have access to independent

complicated regulatory morass. we need to upgrade our infrastructure but we have to focus on those parts of the infrastructure that are economically important that end pork-barrel system, everybody gets their road. we have to understand the bottlenecks, things better driving up the cost of doing business. we know what those are the we need a plan to go forward. we need to create a framework for rapidly developing the windfall we have gotten from this wholesale gas and oil revolution. we have a path to energy independence in america that is $200 billion deficit right now. it is the bridge to renewable energy, renewable energy will take a long time. if we can move to gas we get tremendous benefits in terms of cleaner energy on the way to renewable energy future. if we could get those things done, steve, this would be transformational for our economy but we have not been able to act on these things even though i said earlier there is wide bipartisan -- >> thank you. let me just try to poke holes in this. if we rollbac

don't think the supreme court will take it up, because i don't think they want to step back into that morassning eric cantor's on t.v. saying president obama should put obamacareen oh the table. two weeks ago john boehner said it's the law of the land. they're all over the place. >> caller: they don't know what to do with their caucuses. i think what cantor said was probably a way a placate the really crazy people. the president is never going to agree to do that. >> stephanie: of course not. >> caller: i have my doubt about the president's, you know, about how seriously he wants to make a deal. he's not going to mess with that. i mean that's a deal, i mean if there is a deal-breaker, that's it. he has no reason to. >> stephanie: exactly. >> caller: i mean, if there was one issue that was lit gated in the last campaign, it was the affordable care act. >> stephanie: exactly. thank god for you with that i don't need blood pressure medication. after i watch meet the press i read your synopsis of it and say yes, that's what i was saying and everything is back to northerlial. >> caller: it was ho

interviewed and surveyed said was the biggest barrier to investing in the u.s., complicated regulatory morass. we have to update our infrastructure, but we have to focus on that part of our infrastructure that is economically important. end the pork-barrel system. we have to understand that bottleneck, things that attracted the cost of doing business. we know what they are, but we need a plan to go forward. finally, we need to create a framework for rapidly developing the windfall that we have gotten from this wholesale gas and oil revolution. we actually have a path to energy independence. that is a $200 million deficit right now. it is a bridge tub and renewable energy. renewable energy will take a long time. if we can move to guess you would get tremendous benefits in terms of clean energy on the way to real boy energy. if we can get those things done this will be transformational for our economy, but we have not been able to act on these things, even though, as i said earlier there is wide bipartisan consensus. >> steve from moment. just try to poke holes in this. if we rollback time to j

well over the last two years many of us experienced this morass where we would watch and wait for republicans to lead and they could not get there. they always needed democratic votes to pass the bills -- this new crop of elected representatives believes we will get something done. i think gene sperling did a clear job of setting the landscape we face for the next five weeks. not that he gave a road map, but the landscape is very clear. the great thing is because it is arithmetic and not rocket science, you can see the road, how you get there. and perhaps the reason i at least feel very optimistic is that i think the president has really gelled on what he wants to do. because of that and because he campaigned on this and won an election, i can not see has the force of the american people behind him, as all the polls keep showing. two-thirds approaches balanced approach against the republican approach. more than 60% support asking the wealthiest 2% to pay a little more on taxes. having been on these committees to come up with a solution, there are only so many maps you can come up with that re

it's just complicated regulatory morass. we've got to upgrade our infrastructure, but we've got to focus on that parts of our infrastructure that are really economically important. we've got to end the pork barrel system. everybody gets their road. we've got to, we've got to understand the bottlenecks, the thicks that are driving up the costs of business. we know what those are, but we just need a plan to go forward. and finally, we need to create a framework for rapidly developing the windfall that we've gotten from in this whole shale gas and oil revolution. we actually now have a path to energy independence in america, that's a $200 billion deficit right now. it's a bridge to renewable energy, renewable energy's going to take a long time. if we can move to gas, we'll get tremendous benefits in terms of cleaner energy on the way to renewable energy future. if we could get those things done, steve, this would be transformational for our economy. but we haven't been able to act on these things even though, as i said earlier,
