we'll also get some insight from senator bob corker. this is a special edition of "the daiy lily rundown." president obama will lay out his 2014 agenda tonight before a nation that's increasingly pessimistic about the country's future, worried about the president's abilities and certain that the economy is not working for them, including the middle class. only presidents harry truman and george w. bush have begun the sixth year in the white house in a place as weak as the president is politically today. 43% approve. 68% say the country is stagnant or worse off since mr. obama took office. just 31% say the country is better off. just 40% say they're optimistic or confident and hopeful about the president's remaining time in office. another 59% say they are either uncertain and wondering or pessimistic and worried. there's a deep overall pessimism that's clouding the public's mood. ready for this? the tenth straight year, a decade, folks, where more americans say the country is headed on the wrong track than headed in the right direction.

some senate republicans have indicated that they might support an extension, but tennessee's bob corker wants to know what cuts would happen elsewhere to offset the cost. think tanks on both ends of the political spectrum suggest other remedies as well. the american enterprise institute has proposed congress come up with job-relocation assistance for job seekers. while the center on economic policy research wants to create incentives for employers to promote worksharing programs. this is back to work day for millions of minimum wage workers and in 13 states, they'll have gotten a raise. in most of these states the increase is 15 cents an hour or less. there are some dramatic increases though.the citizens of new jersey voted to raise the minimum by 1-dollar to 8.25. it'll be 8 dollars in rhode island and new york and 8-70 in connecticut.21 states now have a minimum hourly wage higher than the federal level of 7 dollars 25-cents.washington state has the highest minimum wage of 9.19 an hour.this could be the year raising the federal wage becomes a national issue. from the white house to co

hoekstra and dan lundgren and republican senators jim de mint jon kyl tom coburn john ensign and bob corker. the whole thing was orchestrated by republican propaganda master mind master mind frank luntz over the course of four hours this group of the most powerful conservative lawmakers in our country committed themselves to a plan of action they promised each other they would filibuster to obstruct any and all legislation supported by the new president obama congressman pete sessions said in march of two thousand and nine that the republican sabotage plan hatched in the caucus room restaurant was modeled after the insurgent campaign run by taliban terrorists in afghanistan he said that the taliban insurgency is an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message and we need to understand that insurgency may be required when dealing with the democrats on the other side. newt gingrich who was also there at the caucus or dinner appeared on my radio show a few years ago and actually bragged that the whole reason for the dinner w

chairman and ranking member bob corker, three years ago today, and it is very important that was three years ago today on january 9 of 20 11, the people of south sudan voted for independence from the republic of sudan. and after decades of war they were peacefully and joyfully voting for separation and for a new future. then senator john kerry was there to witness this moment and the united states played a critical role in giving the world's youngest nation back on the map. tragically the world's youngest country and one of the most fragile democracies is in danger of shattering. the united nations has reported that more than a thousand people have died and over 240,000 have fled their homes including refugees in neighboring countries. political rivalries have taken on atrocities that are being committed and men and women and children are being caught in the crossfire. this is not the future for which the people of sudan voted three years ago. the crisis began less than a month ago with the political struggle that escalated into broader violence. however the fighting began and a few th

for the rollout of our institute and a generous article about that and secretary john kerry and bob corker, who is my friend by my side for many years. these are people who are friends and yet at the same time, we need to talk to each other as well and cover the events and to understand the world in the context in which this is all occurring. it is my privilege to be with john on this great night. thank you so much. [applause] >> we think you and this is a kind introduction and that the senate was talking about, we're talking about foreign policy and we have a five-year project and we took a great week off and i went to indiana with him and spent 10 days in russia and the ukraine and it was a good trip. you have a good chance to write about the senator's career and accomplishments in one of the things he has done is left the senate. and this includes the internship programs he is working on. and i think there is a narrative about people who leave congress and become lobbyists and cash in. and we don't focus on that and not. so in this article i will focus on some of what we have done and t

senator bob corker said if they are going to find an e-mail that links him to it, he's toast, isn't he of the governor's association, has been since november. not like they've been coming out in huge numbers saying, hey, this is a good guy, this is an honest guy. so what's going on here, susan? >> well, on the conservative side of the super conservative side for republicans, they've never liked christie, so there's no reason for them to show up and all of a sudden start defending him. otherwise, people want to see how this is playing out. a lot of times people respond too quickly. the way christie handled this press conference definitely indicates to me he has spoken to everybody and he did it with some sense of security, but there is nothing else out there that's going to come back to him or otherwise he wouldn't have done this the way he did. >> i think most people agree you're going to have to wait and see to see the real impact on 2016, but this was written, no republican figure had a better week, vis-a-vis, the downfall of christie's rival than senator rand paul. here's how he rea

mississippi, one of the poorest states in the nation or tennessee, bob corker, which has a high unemploymentre. there are two senators from states, excuse me, three senators from states in that group from high unemployment rates, dean heller, obviously, the cosponsor. nevada has 9% unemployment rate. very high above the national average. you also have senator portman from ohio and senator dan coats, typically a hard line republican that votes with his party, also has an above average unemployment rate. >> coats was the biggest surprise for a lot of insiders. kelly, i want to turn it to you. you heard what i said from the speaker boehner, so what chances, if any, does this have in the house? >> look, i think this puts republicans actually in a short-term versus long-term electoral quandary. in the short-term, this is a good issue to gin up the tea party base who hates this extension, but in the long term, we have something really interesting happening in this country that my colleague at "the daily beast" wrote an interesting piece about. historically, you have blue collar and working class v

the signal bit, there were billions upon billions of dollars for border security, so much so that bob corkerennessee said it might be overkill. john mccain, alluded to the same thing. the idea is what is it? is it a moat with alligators and predator drones and special forces being deployed? no one has a real answer to that. part of that has been politically convenient saying they are not serious so we're not going to move forward on that. it's a fair question and one we've asked routinely and get this platte tuds and no real specifics. perhaps we'll see specifics out of the meeting today. whether it be a financial number or manpower number as of right now it's unclear. >> luke russert, standing by on eastern shore. thank you. >> take care craig, be well. >> as luke keeps an eye on the house republicans, let's check in with high profile members of the upper chamber. >> last question both of you campaigned from even against sitting senators if you think a better candidate is running, real quick? >> i'm going to stay out of races with incumbents. >> and i'm likely going to do the same. >> rand

graced by secretary john kerry coming over, now a ranking member of the foreign relations committee, bob corker, my friend by my side turn my final years. these are people who are friends and yet at the same time, we need to talk to each other. cover the events, to understand the world and context in which is occurring. john shot does this so well. is my privilege to be with them on this very auspicious occasion. thank you so much. [applause] >> thank you for that kind introduction. as the senator was speaking, the many, many hours we spent talking about foreign policy. it's a five-year project i was working on the book. took a great week off and went to indiana with him and spent ten days in russia, ukraine, albanian. it was a good trip. i have been thinking a lot about the senator's career recently because i've had the good fortune to read a chapter about him in a book that is coming out next year. seven thinking about the senator's career and his accomplishments will be one of the points to make the end of the book, the good things he has done since he left the senate, you know, obviously th

maybe lamar alexander or bob corker might vote for cloture. it is not strictly a partisan issue.here is an economic component the very state-by-state. the first call comes from marilyn on the line for republicans. good morning. thanks for taking my call. since more people are waking up to the scientific evidence that -- proving building seven was brought down in a controlled demolition on 9/11 and -- host: we will stick with the agenda. john is up next from new jersey on our line with democrats. good morning. i have a general comment that i would like to make. it does include the issues that you are talking about, but i think we need to consider one very important thing, and that is, 60 votes are needed every time a new issue comes up. there is an automatic acceptance. not only on the part of the press, but even senator reed, that the filibuster is being acted on. i think this is an outrageous condition that we have to put up with in this country. it is one of the reasons that congress is getting such low ratings. host: your response? guest: senator reed has been challenging this

tennessee senator bob corker said i'm concerned some of the proposals go too farly. ing our able to protect the nation with little benefit to civil liberties of americans. the chairs of the intelligence committees and senate did give their approval but they said the court approval process for ak stoes this data is going to have to speed up. in the past they said it could take up to nine days to get approval for a single search. anthony and vinita? >> nancy cordes at the white house this morning. thank you, nancy. >>> and joining us now from our washington bureau with a closer look at what the president wants to do and reaction from congress and the intelligence community is cbs newszarate. good morning, juan. >> good morning, anthony. >> obviously there's a delicate between protecting national security and protecting civil yanls' privacy. how well does the proposal reflect that? >> i think focusing on the speech and the policy directive, i think struck it fairly well. he clearly had to respond to the criticism and growing distrust of the government's collection of me

then you have senator bob corker saying if they will find an e-mail that links him to it, he's toast, so what do you make of that? >> well, that's the question. the reaction you're hearing from some establishment republicans, even as they rally behind chrisdy oig is, again, if there were to be another shoe dropping, that will be a huge issue. that will be a problem for him, something that he wouldn't necessarily be able to surmount. so you have people rallying behind him, on the other hand, a bit of wait and see approach. interesting yes question in ter the damage is what is happening behind the scene, losing one of his top advisers just as he's stepping on to the national stage. so the question of damage isn't just this question of what happens, how are people reacting, how is the public reacting, how is the hill reacting. it's also what is happening behind the scenes. >> let's go to a look within the republican party itself because your latest article is entitled operation 2014, tea party groups target john boehner. so what is this all about? >> so there are some groups that are ral
