stuart: all right, bill harris, you're responsible for the successes 0 on-line. buying topsy that analyzes twitter feeds. what's that about? >> first of all, the reason that topsy is so valuable, it's only one of four certified data resellers of twitter data. so they're in a very prominent position in order to get incredible depth of data as to what people are doing on-line. now, why do apple want it? apple is not trying to compete directly with twitter, but what they're trying to do is assume the customer interface to twitter feeds. so, i think what they're going to do is use the data to make twitter feeds more relevant and personal for individual users. >> the twitter feeds liz: and what apple is doing, easily stream from the apple devices onto twitter and apple is making it more easy for them to go on twitter and social media feeds. stuart: is it worth 200 million? >> absolutely, yes. stuart: how many employees did paypal have when it was sold to ebay? >> we had quite a few because-- >> quite a few? >> because they had big customer service organization. so, we

. >> in all seriousness, there are all sorts of bills that harry reid won't take up. there is a communications problem. when you do not have the bully pulpit, it's much more difficult to communicate your message. it's not just good enough. i agree conceptionally, it's not good enough to be the party of no. but you have to communicate -- >> i don't think ted cruz is having any trouble being heard. will you support ted cruz? you have spokespersons. the problem is the spokespersons are not attractive to the american people. >> we're interested in stopping the person who had cancer treatments a few weeks ago who no longer has cancer treatments. we're interested in stopping this one-size-fits-all, and i'll use the term lie. i don't think, he repeated it. and now folks in the employer market will pay the same price. >> there is a brief point where david plouffe was asked how this was going to go. and his answer was, if i were a democrat running for reelection in '14, his answer when he said, oh i think this will all be fixed by 2017, that would not have encouraged me. >> ou

congress is the least productive group of people in decades they have passed seven times fewer bills than harry truman's do nothing congress in one nine hundred forty eight and twenty two fewer bills than the last two years so what are they doing with our time if they're not passing legislation are to correspondent perry and boring finds out. we are almost halfway through the hundred thirteenth congress and if we're on its way to becoming the least productive in the history of the united states this friday marks the last legislative day of the year for the house of representatives so far there have only been fifty bills and acted and so law a stork low for even modern day congress it is in two thousand and eleven the first year of the hundred twelfth congress eighty one bills were signed into law by the president capitol hill picked up steam in two thousand and twelve passed another two hundred two bills this gave the one hundred twelfth congress two hundred eighty three total laws making it the biggest do nothing congress thus far however with the fifty six bills passed into law this year it l

harris: you talk about obamacare and of course, you know the nation will remember she and her husband, former president bill clinton, you know, had that something they wanted to get done. they didn't call it that. they called it a different name. >> hillarycare. harris:, yes yes, hillarycare. whether this will be fodder for republicans to play with going forward but right now affecting everybody else. doctors are saying insurance companies may be forced to pay them less money for their services so they can keep the costs of new plans under obamacare down. if the doctors don't earn what they want from the insurance companies what can happen? >> the great achilles' heel of obamacare, medicaid and indeed any government-run health care system is precisely this area where somebody, and with the government, it will be a bureaucrat, has to make a decision who gets paid and how much. and doctors, we talk with doctors all over the country as part of our recent investigative survey how many doctors are dropping out or refusing to participate in it, doctors all over the country, they are saying, we can't afford to par

bill: it raised eyebrows because 5 million have lost their medical understand since the implementation of obamacare. martha: here is one of the architects of obamacare. harry reid is giving his staffers a pass on the whole plan. karl rove is coming up on that in a minute. bill: the crack smoking mayor of toronto. the news keeps on going on. new reports of his attempted payoff to drug dealers. martha: will trust be the big issue in the next he selection our pollster frank luntz. >> we have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it. i stand by what i said there. when people see what is in the bill they will like it, and they will. martha: more from the startling mayor of toronto. police say mayor rob ford tried to buy the video that showed him trying to buy crack cocaine. ford and a drul dealer tried to get the tape back. unfades. he says he will run in -- unfazed, he says he will run in the next election. bill: harry reid is giving some of his staffers a pass. they can keep their government insurance. i think it was in september when he said we are going to be part of the exchanges, that's what the law says and we'll be part of that. apparently not.

reid has passed zero. >> most importantly the transportation -- >> harry reid has passed zero appropriation bills in the senate. harry reid passed zero appropriation bills. >> the transportation housing urban development bill one of the most important bills could not pass the house last summer because it was too draconian. >> hey, chris, what was the point where tip, was it after that first budget vote where tip lost so many more democrats than he thought that reagan had more success in getting democrats in the house to support him, is that when the dynamics changed between tip and reagan and is there something to be learned there, what do you expect to see out of how the republicans, you know, is there a lesson to be applied here to how the republicans sort of attack after this? >> i got up this morning and tried to think if there's something important to learn in all of this, apart from party politics. i think the word respect keeps coming to my head. respect for the voters. respect for how they make decisions. respect for the other side's point of view. most important the other guy's office an

bill. you have harry reid advocating for this bill. >> you know what it tells me as a lawyer? when both parties are ticked off at the accomplishments that are made, we probably got a pretty good compromise. and what really we should be doing is thinking about 2014. let's keep control of the house, let's get the senate back and put the president in a box. because in your world you would like to believe that obama doesn't exist, but he does, and we have him for three years. let's make the best of a worse situation. >> i take a step back and do this. this is what you have to do. there is a pendulum that swings back and forth. sky, i have to be honest with you. it seems like the pendulum is swinging away from the tea party right now because of the government shutdown. they're getting the blame for that. would you disagree with it? >> it's because the established republicans didn't like the good things that came out. ted cruz had his highest ratings. his ratings were high when congress and the house were low. if brad would ever take a step outside the beltway and come to nashville,

bills. i talked to senator harry reid and so has senator gillibrand and senator mccaskill because all of us ls there are major improvements in the area of sexual assault for instance, will give you some of them again. one of them is retaliation is the crime. threat of retaliation is one of the reasons they do not report. the insults or improper context for sexual behavior. we make in this bill that will be introduced in the next couple days and the senate retaliation is a crime, we also point the direction for commanders to be held accountable for the climb -- the climate inside the units in this bill. we also say that the commander cannot reverse a finding of a court martial. one of the problems which arose was when a commander reversed a finding of a court martial and it that created a real problem and we have addressed that by saying that that can no longer happening and if a commander does not follow the advice, if there is a sexual assault, complained that is filed, that complaint if it does not lead to a court martial must go to a higher level official, including usually a general offi

i had a letter to harry reid, 70 members signed on to say, look, let's pass that bill to give us the leverage. this is all about leverage -- >> so sanctions -- new sanctions would start in six months. >> the iranians would know we're serious about sanctions and it would give us leverage for the administration in their talks. i happen to agree if we can have a civilian program, fine, without nuclear enrichment. ha is the goal we both share on both sides of the isle. >> i do part company with the idea we should pass another sanctions bill. there are many who are pushing that right now. we don't want to be perceived boo i our partners as the ones that are throttling this agreement before it has a chance to live. and if we do, then i think the coalition that has supported these sanctions, which includes many reluctant partners like china and russia, starts to unravel. it will be one thing if the iranians renege, if they cheat, then deal is off, with he n-- w not only resume the freeze, we add sanctions but i don't think we take steps unnecessary. the iranians know the minute they renege

bill back? >> that's harry reid's decision. i still support it and think it's the right thing to do.onestly i don't think we've got the votes to pass it in the senate. >> there has been some show of bipartisanship, you were one of ten republicans who voted for enda, which is the employment nondiscrimination act which makes it illegal to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. you crossed the aisle to work for gun control, another example. do you see any areas senate side, house side, where you think there can be some common ground and a coming together? >> i budget deal could get done. we've a statutory spending limit. it was boy partisan, signed into law boy president obama. we should get real close to that. if we spend more, we should find offsets elsewhere. we have a whole slew of provisions in the tax code that expire every year. as bad as our tax code is, we choose to make it worse by having all these temporary features. we ought to go through and say the constructive, helpful, pro growth features should be made permanent. the rest should be gotten rid o

bill. compromiseuld find a on how we move forward, then we billion facing a $20 hit. >> patty murray says that would have meant layoffs and uncertainty. this isn't a perfect compromise. >> harry reid lead with the senate to move the bill. a short-term increase in spending for the two years of the budget deal. the bitter, a reduction in pay for the military. even republicans testified it is consuming. >> these entitlements in the military are eating us alive. i don't have any doubt that if we were able to come up with an wouldriate pay form, it pass. >> this budget deal in is your emergency unemployment insurance at the end of the year. >> the shutdown has been averted. the real fight is expected in february. that is the debt ceiling deadline. lawmakers are going to dig in their heels on a range of issues. cuts65 billion in defense taken from this compromise. on the heels of the budget, proposing a change. legislation offered by the democrats would restore $6 billion in cuts to military pensions. they would come the form of reduced cost-of-living increases starting in 2015. they will block corporations who have tax savings overseas. and dow hit00 record highs today. the federa

harry s. truman, signed the bills into law.aid covered the health care costs of millions of low-income people. we asked henry aaron if that met our sponsibilities to tse who couldn't afford medicacare. this woun't be a problem if all stes providedenefits as generous ashose in say the upper third or upper half of the distribution. sometates provide meager medicaid benefits-- fewer than 10 days a year ofospitalization, severe limits on the number of doctor's visits one can receive-- so that even moderate illnesses may not be fully protected under the medicaid program. in addition, the population that may be served by the medicaid program in many states is quite narrowly defined. so notwithstandi the fact thamedicaid is the federal health program for the poor, millions of poor americans are not covered by any benefits at all they don't have government protection or private insurance because they're unemployed or because they work in jobs that don't provide suchoverage. about 15% to 20% of the american population at the present tim

bill. in addition, not only does it increase spending, it applies the nuclear option to tax increase possibilities and only requires harry reid to have 51 votes to raise taxes as well. it does raise taxes and revenues. there is plenty of things in this bill to oppose, to recognize a deficit reduction -- >> how does this raise taxes? because he will argue to you that this does not raise taxes. >> if you fly on an airplane, you're going to pay more to washington. they like to call it a revenue, not a tax increase. one thing i did talk about is that it changes the rules and allows harry reid to push through a tax increase with only 51 votes. i just discovered this an hour ago. it's hidden deep in the bill. i think there's -- you're going to see a lot of opposition coming out of the senate about this proposal. i don't know why they stuck it in there lr, just to make it ear to raise taxes in the senate. that's conservative and most americans don't want a tax increase either. >> john boehner says the opposition is really coming from outside groups who are influencing those of you on the inside. you may have heard his comments

none of us knew what was in the bill because it was in harry reid's office. as a member of the help committee, i was privileged to consider this bill. we worked hard. i had three amendments on rationing. i am worried about rationing. there is four rationers. i'm not going to get into that. i'm not going to take up your time to do that. ipab is the number one i'm concerned about. they are worried about the reimbursement your hospitals in indiana, my hospitals will get in kansas. that's why we are trying to do the doc fix. at any rate, we were in the help committee. i had three amendments. all three were defeated by a party-line vote. that markup sat on a -- i don't know where it is now. it's collecting dust. it then went to the finance committee. i had the same three amendments. i wanted to offer the amendments on the floor. we are going to have a lot of problems with these rationing boards making decisions as opposed to individual patients and their doctors, if they can find their doctor, if they can have their doctor, period. so it gets back again to regular

a number of republicans were against a portion of the bill that will cut $6 billion in retirement benefits for veterans. but senate leader harry reid blocked an amendment that would have blocked those cuts. president obama now expects to sign the bipartisan bill if it passes the final votes before he heads to hawaii for the winter holiday. however, congress already preparing for its next big fiscal fight. senator mcconnell says republicans are unlikely to give the president a clean debt ceiling increase and paul ryan even suggesting that they should tie the keystone pipeline to raising the debt limit. but as has been the case for a while now, the white house continues to say it is unwilling to negotiate over the debt ceiling. >>> the rebranding of obamacare continues today. former microsoft manager will take over the health insurance marketplace. if you don't know his name, he retired recently as president of microsoft's office division. yesterday the president hosted a group of technology executives for what the white house was calling a discussion of the health care website. the executives had a different issue on their mind

. >> democratic leader harry reid does not want any amendments to the bill.nd today he urges passage. here is what he had to say. >> the agreement the center is considering today will help us avoid another costly shutdown. devastating cuts to education, medical research, infrastructure investments and defense jobs. >> so why will it pass? well, perhaps the best explanation came from the independent senator from maine. he said i'm going to quote my favorite philosopher mick jagger who said you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you get what you need, and he said what we need is this budget deal, and that's why it is expected to pass today. no one wants another costly government shutdown. dell. >> lisa thank you very much. >>> don't expect to see the president, vice president or the first lady at this year's winter olympics. they are not is who will lead the official u.s. delegation. two former athletes, billie jean king and a former us hockey winner, and two openly gay athletes. billie jean king having a tweet that just came out. she said

bill? >> you know, senate majority leader harry reid took a question about that a short time ago. he laughed it off and did one of his favorite thing, blaming the house leadership. >> rushing it through and understand these statements by my republican colleagues are bizarre. the house is gone. they've gone home. and no matter how we got in the position we're in today, we have a bipartisan defense bill that's on the floor. ready to pass. >> bottom line, a lot of republicans think that senator reid does not want to take up an amendment that would tighten sanctions on iran. they feel that would get broad bipartisan support. this is muss pass legislation. bottom line, they may argue about it, they may grumble tab, but eventually, they have to pass it, gretchen. >> could go later into the night. mike emanuel thank you so much. >> we're going to ask senate minority leader mitch mcconnell about the bill and his comparison of obamacare to big foot sightings? yep, coming up at 2:30 p.m. eastern time. now, a reaction to obamacare. a new poll shows a whooping 30% of those surveyed believe th

bill: the enriched uranium outside of iran. that's ship sailed years ago. it's clear the administration is not changing its opinion. is congress? >> if harry reid would take up our sanctions bill it would be a powerful leverage tool. the idea will continue to let them spin and enrich our rainup and go forward when other partners in the middle east have been denied that right. who is to say saudi arabia and turkey and other nations won't start enriching uranium as well. bill: what did secretary kerry tell you specifically about what the united states gets for this deal? >> we know what return gets from this deal. we heard back channels that they are laughing at this deal. i guess you could argue the united states, what he's trying to avoid is iran going down a nuclear path to get a nuclear weapon. this does nothing with the technology. currently iran can deliver weapons to israel and europe. the pentagon says 2015 will have icbm capability to deliver warheads to the united states. and we are giving them $7 billion in aid. sort of what we are doing with north korea that failed. we are giving them $7 billion with no assurance that money won't

republicans do not escape coburn's wrath and singled out majority leader harry reid for lack of appropriations billsthe floor. that is a flaw that escapes congressional over sight. >> if it were not so ridiculous it would make you croi. >> president obama hosting a who's who of tech excutives for healthcare.gov. we'll debate that. >> and a new warning on a budget deal that may hit the veterans hard and in the wallet. >> and the nowest class of rock in roll hall of fame. peter gabiel not the only one on the list. did one of your favorites make the cut? >> favorite? >> no, but good? >> yeah. >> cuss. my customers can shop around. but it doesn't usually work that way with health care. with unitedhealthcare, i get information on quality rated doctors, treatment options and cost estimates, so we can ke better health decisions. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. >>> a military helicopter crash nothing southern stap stan. the crash does not appear to be the work of any forces in afghanistan. >> a major wildfires near big surf. the fire destroyed 15 homes and 500 acre of land. did your band make th

i had a letter to harry reid and they said let's pass that bill to give us the leverage. this is all about leverage in the negotiations. >> new sanctions that will start in six months? >> the iranians know we're serious about the sanctions and give us a leverage for the administration and their talks. i happen to agree with my colleague that if we can have a civilian program, fine. that is the goal that i think actually both share on both sides of the aisle. >> i do part company with the idea that we should pass another sanctions bill. i know there are many pushing that right now. we don't want to be perceived by our partners as the ones that are throttling this agreement before it has a chance to live. and if we do, then i think the coalition that supported these sanctions which includes many reluctant partners like china and russia starts town ravel. it will be one thing if the iranians renege if, they cheat. then deals off. we not only resume the freeze, we add sanctions. i don't think we should take steps that aren't necessary right now. the iranians know if, they don

lawmakers are strongly disagrees and it is bipartisan here. 26 senators offered the bill here and there is pressure building on harry reid who has avoided the idea of going forward with iranian sanctions because the white house doesn't want them. more and more are gathering behind the effort. pressure is building on the senate leader to take it up for a vote. it could happen some time in january. >> no doubt the president is going to get a question about that. >> mike, thank you so much. >> so while we continue to await now, the president let's go back to chris who is with us in dc. one thing i would like to ask you about is what i asked ed henry at the top of the show. whether or not president will in fact sign up his own family for obama care. but jay carney has said yes, he does plan to do that. today is friday the deadline is monday. what do you think about that? >> he needs to. he won't really. i don't think the obama care platinum plan probably covers the physical at camp david and around the clock medical attendants. but he needs to do it some demonstrate good faith with the american people. so he needs to do

>> they introduced an amendment to a bill from senate majority leader harry reid that would have expanded background checks so that it would be applied to all gun sales, including the private market. at the moment, the law says that those background checks only .pplied to federal gun sales that bill did not pass congress. the senate rejected it by just a few votes. -- sorry,eally the that was really the breaking andt for a lot of lawmakers kind of impeded the issue for the rest of the year. >> so congress did not do anything in terms of major, in terms of gun legislation for the rest of the year, but what about the localities and states. was there a reaction to change gun laws locally? >> that was a good point. a lot of states did and that is a number of different -- a lot of states did enact a number of gun laws. about 100 gun laws enacted across the country were actually loosening gun lawsations, while fewer actually tightened them. loosen the gund laws. mr. leahy: mr. president, earlier this week i spoke about the need for the senate to consider legislation to help increase america's s

it looks like senate majority leader harry reid has expedited consideration of an iran sanctions bill for january, even as your administration and you have been trying to get them to lay off sanctions. >> you are stringing a bunch of thing as long, let's see if we can hone in on a question. >> that's a lot less than ed henry asked. >> oh, owe. >> how about i separate out the iran question from the tax question. on the health care question, look, i think i've answered several times there is a new iteration of it. bottom line that we are going to continue to work every single day to make sure. >> the web site and all elements of it including the grandfather clause, work better every single day, and as i said in previous press conferences. which have to make a stand and we're going to have problems but my intentions have been clear throughout which is i just want to help as many people as possible feel secure and make sure that they don't go broke when they get sick and we're going to just keep on doing that. on iran, there is the possibility of a resolution to a problem that has been a

tell us -- it is the bill you filed related to senator harry reid. e members of his staff are exempt from having to take part in obamacare coverage. you filed a bill that wants to lump that but will you be covered by obamacare and your staff? >> i hope we will be. my staff is my officials staff, designated them an official is so disingenuous, you have to call that a lie. i don't know what harry reid did to keep his staff and the federal employee health benefit plan. me and my staff, we are all going to be on the helsinki exchange and we tried to sign up. if we don't sign up by monday then some like me or anybody on my staff will be uncovered on january 1st. goodness gracious, what an absolute train wreck as senator max baucus said six months ago in the hearing with secretary kathleen sebelius. dennis: thank you for your time, we appreciate it, good day. dagen: cheryl: let's stick with washington where d.c. city council voted unanimously to raise the minimum wage by $3 by 3,016. walmart is opening shop, something we have been watching. peter barnes is

the goal of the bill is to put everybody into government-run health care. harry reid said this is the first step toward single payer health care coverage. this is not about covering the uninsured. it is about destroying the ability of the private sector to offer health care. we all have to buy it through the government and get what the government gives us on the terms they want. that's what this is about. obama's dreams has been a single-payer health care system. he's doing through obama care what he couldn't do directly. >> what the president keeps saying is as long as i'm president, this isn't going to change. that's what he said. you're laughing at that? >> yeah. i'm laughing at that. here's what i think. the american people. you could sue the obama administration. some of the spokesmen could have gone to jail. this is about politics. mark my words. write down the date. democrats are facing election in 2014 and won't be able to with stand the burden of the bill. it was built on a house of lies. the fundamental precept of the bill doesn't make sense. >> when wi

bill i mentioned earlier. we've got majority leader harry reid saying he's going to bring it to the floor a week from today. in your opinion do you think it's good enough? >> well, we'd rather have a year than three months, but three months is a start. look, the reality is that if we do not extend unemployment benefits, 1.3 million of our friends and neighbors, people in many cases who have worked their entire lives, many of them older workers, are going to be shut off completely. and a major source of their income is not going to be coming in. that is to my mind absolutely unacceptable for us as a nation. but the second point that i think jack reed made earlier, if you don't extend those unemployment benefits and if you don't put income into the hands of people who need it, they're not going to have that income to spend. that will result in the loss of some 200,000 jobs in our country and a decline in our gdp in the next year of 0.2 of 1%. so it is foolhardy from a moral perspective and from an economic perspective not to extend the unemployment benefits. i would hope that we can do it for a year. three mo

none of us knew what was in the bill because i was in senator harry reid's office. as a member of the committee i was privileged to consider this bill. we've worked hard. i'm worried about rationing. there are four i'm not going to get into that. it is the number 1i worry about now. they decide the medicare reimbursement. the doctors and that's why in the finance committee we are trying to do the reform and the fix but any rate, we were on the health committee and i had three amendments all three defeated by the party line vote. that markup i don't know where it is right now it's collecting dust. it then went to the finance committee and i had the same three amendments and i wanted to offer the amendment on the floor. we were going to have a lot of problems with these rationing boards making decisions as opposed to the individual patient and their doctors if they can find their doctor. if they can have their doctor, pure period. it gets back to the regular order and respecting the minority rights and get back into protecting the minority rights. and had we had those,

majority leader harry reid is hoping the bill gets a greenlight from senate republicans. >> the republicansa landmark agreement. not because of the massive side it, but- the size of because of what it does for congress and the american people. >> will it cost? pass?e -- will it john boehner and harry reid seem to be on their talking points, but what does this mean for 2014? >> it will pass the senate. it will go in one of two directions. congress may say this is as good as we can do, we have done the bare-bones. or we take this very going forward and we try to work on things like immigration. the harder stuff is still left to be done. >> that is for sure. what do you think happened behind the scenes that enable 332 congressmen to come together? we have not seen that kind of coming together in a long time. >> other than post office, you do not see that sort of thing. the shutdown was terrible for everybody. the republicans hate a price. the american people cannot be more angry about that. they felt that they had to do the bare minimum and do no harm. if you talk to business people today, the

bill. but at the end of the day, i think harry reid is going to get it passed. >> yeah. and we don't know exactly how they're going to divi up those responsibilities. we're looking here at live footage of the senate floor there, senator sessions talking about a range of the issues facing the senate here, dana. but there is something of a new normal here, isn't there? we have talked before about john boehner really coming out against those groups that have been giving him heartburn for a long time. take a listen to paul ryan's response to that. >> i think john got his irish up. he was frustrated that these groups came out in opposition to our budget agreement before we reached a budget agreement. i was frustrated, too. but i think these are very important elements of our conservative family. i would prefer to keep those conversations within the family. >> dana, i'm not an expert on santa or on the move i can't. can you shed some light on that line? >> well, i think what happened is, speaker boehner came out and defended paul ryan and his deal-making, and paul ryan just re
