the question is, who is playing bill murray? it is such a repetition. it is the same players. the same seats at the table. the same doctrines. where this goes, i think anyone who thinks they know is wrong. as you know, the talk about the fiscal cliff. some people say it is a slope. some people say it is a bungee jump. some people say it is a skateboard trek. it is going to go down and then up and and so forth. the bottom line, i think it is no way to govern. it is a giant mistake to have all of this in a pool of ambiguity. as i understand it, now, you would know more, it truly is a stalemate. they are not talking. >> you point out, it is the same players. i think you will agree the players that matter most are the president, speaker finger. what we know about their personal -- speaker john boehner. what we know about their personal relationship right now? >> it started out last year when they were working on the debt ceiling. it was called the merlo and the correct meeting. in other words, john boehner would have a merlo and obama would chu nicolette's. -- chew nicorettes. and

. >> this is kind of like the "groundhog day" movie with bill murray where we've seen this movie overver again with the debt ceiling, the government shutdown that occurred, that debate. here's the thing. i think what we need is some momentum. i think what needs to happen is if the senate can come to some sort of agreement, that gives speaker boehner a little more breathing room and there's more pressure on house republicans to take up a vote, even if it doesn't have the unanimous support of the republican conference. if they can pass a bill with republican support and democratic support, send it to the president, that's obviously what i think the thinking here is is to try to create some momentum here. we don't have any momentum. we're having some meetings. i think that's fine. but if the senate can get a deal done and then send it to the house, then i think obviously we're in a much better spot. we saw it with t.a.r.p. we've seen it before. that's the theory of this case here that mitch mcconnell and senator reid, dealmakers who love this sort of stuff can come together and work some

"elf" and the santa claus with tim allen. we love "elf".>> everybody here, when that alarm sounds, they all go. could be you. ainsley: an emotional vigil held last night in webster for two volunteer firefighters that were killed when responding to a fire. it was set by a convicted killer who opened fire on them. and two other firefighters were injured. 62-year-old women spengler killed himself. he spent 17 years in prison beating his grandmother to death in 1980. he was living with his sister who is still unaccounted for this morning. no word yet on a motive for this attack. >>> a marine veteran spending christmas with his family after enduringing four months behind bars in mexico. fox news was there when jon hammar and his dad arrived back home in florida. >> turned this christmas into something spectacular. you guys have really made it happen. you and we're really grateful. >> this is great right now. i'm glad to be talking to you about that it's over with. ainsley: back in august, jon hammar, i think i said joe, jon hammar was locked up

the question is who's playing bill murray. and i mean, such a repetition. it's the same players at the same seats at the table with the same doctrines. so where this goes, i think anyone who thinks they know is wrong. some people say it's a fiscal cliff. some people say it's a slope. some say it's a bungee jump. some say it's a skateboard trip. it's going to go down and up and so forth. bottom line, i think, it's no way to govern. it is a giant mistake to have all of this in a pool of ambiguity. as i understand it, you may know more, it truly is a stalemate. they are not talking. >> you point out it is the same players. i think you'll agree players that matter most is the president, speaker boehner. what do we know about their personal relationship that might illuminate what's going on right now? >> well, they started out last year when they were working on the debt ceiling and they had what are called the measure low and nick -- merlot and nicoret meeting. boehner would have merlot and the president would be chewing nicorette gum. and they had ice tea for

the clerk: calendar number 564, s. 3313, a bill to amend title 38 united states code to approve the assistance provided -- mrs. murray: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent the reading be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. the question is on passage of the bill. all those in favor say aye. those opposed. it appears the ayes have it. the ayes do have it. the bill is passed. mrs. murray: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: i ask unanimous consent the committee-reported title amendment be agreed to, the motion to reconsider be laid on the table with no intervening action or debate and any related statements be printed in the record as if read. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. murray: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, the senate has just passed legislation that will bring into focus a real need for the v.a. to help women veterans and the spouses of male veterans access assistance for one of the most i am pactful and serious wounds of these wars, reproductive andure nary tract tra

murray, thank you very much. let me bring in new jersey congressman bill paskrell. thank you for your time. reaction to what mark murray just reported, moving down the line it's possible the president will make a move regarding entitlement reform that might not set well with some progressives. what is your take on that being a possible development if, in fact, the deal is reached on, first of all, the bush era tax cuts? >> i think mark is on target. i think we have a short-term solution here. that is to provide the sustained tax cuts for the 98% of americans who are in the middle class, and 97% of small businesses. then make a framework, provide a framework so we can have a long-term settlement finally on tax reform. that's going to come. it's similar to what senator bradley, remember him, in new jersey did in 1986 when we reframed and reformed the tax code. i think that's necessary. that's just as important as the tax cuts for the middle class, i believe. now, if we can settle on a framework at least to get to that within this first three or four months of the next congress, i think, tamro

merkley: i ask unanimous consent the murray substitute amendment which is at the desk be agreed to, the billas amended be read three times and passed, the motion to reconsider be laid on the table with no intervening action or debate and related statements be printed in the record as if read. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. merkley: i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the consideration of s. 3698 which was submitted earlier today. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: s. 3698, a bill to amend title 40 united states code and so forth and for other purposes. the presiding officer: without objection the senate proceeds to the measure. mr. merkley: i ask unanimous consent that the bill be read a third time and passed and the motion to reconsider laid on the table and any statements relate to go this bill be placed in the record at the appropriate place. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. merkley: i ask unanimous consent the judiciary committee be discharged from further consideration of senate resolution 618 and the senate proceed to its

bill to the house floor today. i also want to thank the chairman and ranking member of the senate committee on veterans affairs, senators murray and burr, for their support of this legislation as well. this senate amendment reresponds to concerns about how to ensure -- ensure that veterans make the best use of their hard-earned g.i. bill benefits. now, i think that by adding some very reasonable transparency requirements to information provided by schools, we have met those concerns really without overburdening our colleges and universities with needs government regulation -- needless government regulation. the bill as amended has four major sections. the first one reflects our vice chairman of the full committee, mr. bilirakis', original to assisting schools with questions about v.a. education, policy and processes. arched a fourth section would eliminate -- and a fourth section would have them get $395 million total in fiscal year 2013 which fully pays for the provisions in the senate amendment. and finally, if it properly implemented by v.a. and if the multitude of federal, state and local agencies charged with overseeing t

murray, vitter, and wyden. they are tireless animal advocates, and this bill is indeed, the amendment as well, are about ending animal fighting, which plainly and simply is a blood sport. it is something that is cruel and inhumane. it leaves animals scarred and disabled. and it is associated with many other criminal activities. people who attend animal fights are often also engaged in drug dealing, extortion, assault, a variety of criminal activities, and the enabling activity is animal fighting. and that is why this bill increases the penalties for knowingly -- knowingly -- attending an animal fight with a child and, indeed, makes it a crime to knowingly attend an animal fight. so these penalties -- stricter penalties for bringing a child knowingly and criminal penalties of up to a year imprisonment or a fine or both for knowingly attending an animal fight -- are contingent on a purposeful support for this cruel and inhumane sport. very simply, it provides new tools to law enforcement through the animal-fighting spectator prohibition act, so that it cannot only eliminate illegal animal fights but also the act

murray. welcome. back and forth from the harry reid. we have congressional ping pong going on. you said it is time for house republicans to put middle class families first bypassing the senate's bill to protect 98% of americans on january 1st. the senate bill could pass tomorrow if the house republicans would lead it come to the floor. the house had two bills that collectively can avert the entire fiscal cliff if enacted. those bills await action by the senate. >> the classic ping pong gridlock and no way out. >> it's important to know how far we have come in the last seven days. a week ago we were closer than we had seen before on a particular deal. john boehner made a big concession allowing tax cuts to rise on income over a million dollars. president obama countered with a big concession and saying that that should be $400,000 and have fixes to social security on costs of living adjustments on that. what ended up happening? john boehner retreated their plan b that mike viquiera was talking about that was unable to pass and now we are in the stalemate we are in now. we were closer than before. >> you touch on a good point. that's lost now in the media. we are going-over the clif

bill or fishery issues, the subject of senator mikulski's committee; or housing and urban development, community block grants -- that's in h.u.d. -- or transportation under the jurisdiction of senator murray's committee. i'm honored to be the chair of the homeland security appropriations committee for several years ago and am proud that some of the reforms that we've put into place were actually seeing the -- we're actually seeing the benefits of today as our first responders respond to literally the worst disaster to hit the northeast in 50 years. and i wanted to just address a few things and to clarify some numbers for the record. despite the fact that hurricane sandy, mr. president, is not on the news every night and cnn is not broadcasting from the shores of new york and new jersey -- that happened for a few days and then we've gone on to other pressing issues of the day. and as new challenges arise, the press attention will be diverted, as is natural. the problem is it may be natural but it's not necessarily good for people that have lost their homes, lost their businesses and without quick action from congress and robust, definitive, comprehensive support from the federal government,
