if republicans abandon dole, do they revive the buchanan candidacy?erhaps tim is taking a coffee break. that's okay. do you think buchanan can go to the convention now and say i'm still here? >> buchanan is doing that. he's in the paper today says ross perot can take my voters. what he means by that is republican party better pay attention to me or my voters are going to go to ross perot. that's a strong argument at this point, and the republican party has to desperately figure out what to do with buchanan. >> pat is going to say wait a minute, if bob dole drops down in a throe-way race, what difference would a four-way race make? i don't think that will happen in the end. pat buchanan wants to be president of the united states, he's going to run in 2000, he doesn't want to antagonize people by being disloyal, but with bob dole perceived as a "weak nominee," pat buchanan is going to give him a tough time at the convention in san diego last week. >> tim was not taking a coffee break. )e having technical problems on that first day. clinton once again di

buchanan today. he assaulted two staff members. going to hear him and get a plea on him and make a decision and see if he'll give us any comments on it because he's on the psych unit, it means i have to go to him and hear the case. they'll bring him out in cuffs and we'll do it there. >> but joe buchanan might have different plans. >> hey, joe, we want to take you back here in the back. >> i ain't going. >> come on, joe. >> i want to plead guilty. >> you don't want to come out, then? >> no. >> let me talk to him for a second. buchanan, you don't want to change your plea or anything? do you want to give a statement? >> i'm guilty. >> okay. i'll come back and let you know what we did, then. >> you can just write it down, all right? >> okay. i accepted his plea of guilty. i'm going to give him a year in seg starting on the 19th. and he's a lifer. so there's nothing else that we can really do to him. so now i'm going to go back and tell him what i did. mr. buchanan, you know you got a year in idu, right? i will tell them know that you

buchanan was the best qualified man. he had a glittering, long flitter resume but like lincoln buchanan was born in a log cabin. not a lot of people know that. he loved to host parties, he would host receptions from visiting japanese ambassadors to indian chiefs and he would open the doors to the white house and poem would come in and partake of the federally subsidized cake and whisky at these events. they drank a lot of whisky in the antebellum years. and there's this last scene in my book of the last dismal reception at the buchanan white house. it's january 1st, 1861. and there was a tradition that some of you may know of in america, in washington, of the president throwing open the doors of the white house, quite literally, to sort of any decently washed and moderately sober citizen who wanted to say hello to the president of the united states on new year's day. this lasted until herbert hoover, amazingly enough. you could walk in and wish the president happy new year's. this is a miserable affair. the marine band i

has the big deal turned into a big fizzle, pat buchanan? >> it has not, john. did it for awhile but now it is back, and we're talking about something close to adds 4 trillion deal. the president is deep in negotiations with boehner and cantor, and here are the terms. you raise the debt ceiling, at the same time there are 3 trillion in cuts, and they deal with social security and medicare. there is no revenue enhancement. however, you get together some kind of commission which what it does, john, it drops tax rates in return for giving away these deductions, exemptions, allowances, breaks, which in effect is pure reaganism. there's one problem with that. there's a penalty if nothing is done by the end of 2012 the old reagan tax rates for the wealthy go back into effect. john, there's possibly a big deal for this reason. there is weeping and gnashing of teeth in the democratic caucus, in the senate, and in the house over what obama is dealing with boehner. >> boehner's got his problems, too. >> well, boehner -- i think cantor is in on this deal, it appears. of co

let's go there with pat buchanan.are going to get a debt deal done. is that eventually what is working against the president politically, that the logic of this is that he's got to sign at the end of the day whatever stops it from happening? >> we are going to get the debt ceiling which means he signed it. you and i talked to mr. sperling and dick durbin and what did they say? they simply would not rule in a veto. i think he's going to have to sign the agreement that harry reid and john boehner agrees to. he has no alternative. i think this crisis may be about to end. >> willie, you talked off the air that the president would veto an extension. >> eat your peas conference. that's when he said two weeks ago, under no condition will i sign a short-term deal. they were talking about a three-month deal. this is six months. but he was very clear and explicit saying this is not the way the united states of america conducts business in this piecemeal way. >> republicans have pushed aside the peas and went straight for the ch

. >> peter fann is the democratic strategic and pat buchanan is a former communications director foronald reagan. they're my boys. it's been a while. you're all gal vanting about during the summer. here we go, pat. you heard the president ask that, why would boehner walk away from a deal worth more than $3 trillion? >> well, as boehner said and the republicans said and the the president said, the republicans were agreeing to $800 billion in revenues, and they believe what happened is the president on thursday night met with the democrats who went bananas over the cuts he was making, the added cuts in social spending, medicare, medicaid. the president moved the goalpost. but that's not the fundamental point. the point is we're at deadlock gridlock, and we can't get a big deal in ten days. i think what ought to happen is what is going to happen and we will find this out by next weekend is that the republicans in the house have to pass a temporary debt ceiling of, say, six months and put on it the easy cuts from the biden deal where everybody agreed. put those on it, pass those on to th

west 14 at oakland and south- southwest 17 at buchanan concord gusting to 25.-70s today for concord area. i mean that's all because of that system diving downright there. we had two of those systems come down in june. well, it's july so it stays a little to the north. overcast is enhanced. cooling continuing until the low ejects out. that probably won't be until wednesday. temperatures slide right on down and bottom out wednesday and rebound thursday and friday. low clouds, a lot of them breezy, drizzle out there. sunny but cooler inland. very windy at times. 60s to 80s even clear lake will come down over the next couple days. low 80s for antioch and brentwood. by tomorrow in the upper 70s. walnut creek 75. 73 san jose. 68 san mateo. san bruno 65. 73 only for woodside and right at 70 for palo alto. cool through wednesday and then slightly warmer weather towards the end of the week. >>> well, there is an event today in san jose that job seekers might be interested in. tell you about that when we come back. >>> that's right. also we're going to tell you where the

pat buchanan, you heard the president. it was an extraordinary statement. but he also laid out specifics of what was on the table. he said that the offer had been 1.2 trillion and discretionary funds, 650 billion. in entitlements. and they were working it in a way he felt was more than on his side of the column. it was absolutely tilted toward the republican side. but he said that he doesn't see that they have the capacity to say yes. how do you respond to that, pat? >> first i thought the president was extraordinarily effective. secondly, reverend sharpton, yesterday many conservatives felt we were indeed close to a deal. and you had a lot of statements out of there that you would get an increase in the debt ceiling pb dramatic spending cuts. then reform the tax code, drop rates and give up all these exemptions, deductions and the things the president doesn't like. all of a sudden, mr. boehner, walked out. i think norah o'donnell's question is critical here. she said, republicans are saying the president with, after he met can democrats last night who rais

buchanan's pumping his fist.on said over the past couple of weeks, they're two steps through the process, one is having the guts to stare down your opponent, and i say this as a lawyer who sat through a lot of mediations and sat through a lot of negotiations, the first thing is that you have to stare down your opponent, and when you opponent blinks, as the president has, the president's blinked. you're going to win. you can have a victory on the battlefie battlefield, but if you don't convert that to -- if they don't take boehner's bill, then reid's bill comes up. what happens? >> what actually occurred yesterday where eric cantor got up and said you have two options, you can pass this bill or be forced to vote on harry reid's bill. they played a video segment from the movie "the town." allan west said i'm going to drive this car, they're trying to motivate this caucus. and west supports the bill but my point is this -- >> what part of "the town" they did play? it's a great movie. >> i think they played the part

because it's not that bad right now, paul buchanan is driving from the burbank airport, and lynndie, i see you, how is it going? >> reporter: it's going really well, don, just look around me, this is wide open freeway, see all the open spaces? you just don't see that in l.a., we have made almost i would call it a 75-mile roundtrip and i would say this is probably the best i have ever seen traffic in l.a. in fact, you know, they talk about carmageddon, this is breezy and light and fluid, it's almost like that boy george song, karma chameleon because this is a piece of take. >> be safe, we're going to go to sandra endo now, is it any worse where are? things look pretty smooth actually. >> reporter: oh, yeah, don, smooth sailing here on ventura boulevard, we have been trying to find people figuring out ways to get around town. we have seen some people walking, some people on bikes, the city has been encouraging people to take mass transit. also more trains, they're free as well. take a look at ventura boulevard, this is one of the major streets here in the san fernando valley, if there

it was bounded by chesnutt, her, and buchanan. it is one block west of steiner. in order to accomplish that area, we have to have a located search rain. it brings us to the subject and bloc of lombard street. if we were to place it all the way over, we would not be able to cover the area that the engineers have defined. does that answer question? commissioner miguel: there was a question asked about high. this is allowed by code to go 25 feet above the height and let. it is 40 feet. this would be a at 65, and this is at 60. other than that, looking at the materials of the neighborhood association, from the petition which was referred to the school, i appreciated the fact that the project sponsor did actual testing for academicians at the school. the only thing i can say is what i just said on the last item. you're talking to the wrong department and the wrong commission. it gets a health department review before it comes to us. and we accept their recommendation for their non- objection, and with that, i would move to approve with conditions. commissioner antonin

let's bring in pat buchanan, as well as morris reed, a democratic strategist.ay, huh? let's start with you, pat. over the past few days, we've been watching speaker boehner. is he reasserting his authority here or proved to some that the tea party members are really in charge? >> well, i don't know that the tea party members are in charge, but they certainly administered something of a humiliation to the speaker on thursday night when he had to pull the bill and go back again to them on friday. and i think at the end of this battle, richard, speaker boehner is going to be the man on the spot because of what richard wolffe said. what's going to happen when the house votes down this reid bill today, that's going to send a message to mitch mcconnell that you've got to get reid to change it. and when it's a reid-mcconnell bill, it's going to go back to the house and i don't think john boehner has enough republicans to pass it in the house. he's going to have to go to steny howier and get some democratic votes and the result will be a split in the republican party i

joining me now, pat buchanan, also joining us democratic strategist and cnbc contributor morris reid. gentlemen, good morning. >> looking at this plan, isn't it nearly everything republicans have wanted? and if so, why is it expected to be doa in the house? >> it hasn't come over back over to the house yet. the house passed a bill last night, which the senate killed. one of the problems with harry reid's deal is the same one the representative just mentioned who was on the show, mr. grimm of new york, and that is that harry reid's bill contains a lot of fraud. if we get $1 trillion in cuts by not having war in iraq and afghanistan beyond when we're not going to have war, you know, we're not going to attack pakistan, they can declare that as a saving too. but here's the problem, and the congressman stated it well. there are aspects of the two plans that are acceptable, and the president has vetoed those, and that is why mitch mcconnell is saying to harry reid, look, you're not going to impose your plan on a senate, 47 members who are republicans, we're going to have to deal. and i thin

here with more now is pat buchanan, former communications director for president reagan.ack. >> thank you. >> morris, i'll begin with you this time. the republican-led house is ready to reject reid's proposal before they get it. so if they're doing this before they see all of the details, do you see any chance of compromise at this point? >> i don't see any chance of compromise right now. but hopefully in the next 48 hours we will. i remind these republicans that ronald reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times. so they need to get real. let's address the real issues in america, get past this and then try to fix it, just like every other american has to balance their budget, congress should have to balance their books. stay focused on managing and balancing the books. we should really be focused on making the dollar the currency of choice, the strong currency around the world. what we're doing is undermining the strength of america and republicans don't get that. >> pat, have you ever seen a standoff like this in washington with so much at stake? you heard senator conrad, o

and how can we for get the unfortunate incident that occurred with pat buchanan at the university ofestern michigan. it wasn't pie to be fair, it was salad dressing. but you get the idea here. last night by the way on "the daily show," jon stewart giving us his own take. take a look. >> the whole day of testimony was amazing. but perhaps no moment more remarkable than murdoch interrupting his son's opening statement. >> of the newspaper -- >> before you get to that, i'd just like to say one sentence. this is the most humble day of my life. >> not so humble you couldn't wait for your turn to talk. by the way, that was before some idiot tried to pie murdoch. the young woman in pink whose lightning reflex and devastating chuck norrisesque hand speed subdues him. that woman is rupert murdoch's wife, wendy. now, i'm not a big proponent of the four decade marriage age gap. but if ever there was a situation where it would pay dividends, it would be an ambush like that. of course the attack occurred after a period of the testimony where murdoch may have appeared somewhat vulnerable. asleep.

downside is that those double-deckers', they go down and union street and they all turn right on buchanan. they don't go all the way down. they can go straight down the mosque. perhaps there are some routing issues that had been brought about. the upside is that anything that we could get to see our street is an advantage and i do support them keep in the noise at reasonable levels. if it is during business hours are reasonable hours of operation, then i can see that being advantage. thank you very much. >> thank you. are there any other further public comments? >> i do agree. we are a tourist town and tourism is the number-one industry in the city. all lot of the neighborhoods, they do bring the people in neighborhoods, especially those that did the drop on, drop off. you were talking about with the entertainment commission, lately i've noticed they are allowed. the commissioner says that if you go to new york can you go overseas to these other cities where they deplore on -- where they depend on headphones. >> we are talking about a very well capitalized industry. on the whole, the tour

pat buchanan is right. pat is a pretty smart guy, al.take the deal to have a bill with no revenue through 2012. raise up the victory flag and declare victory. i believe it would be a hollow victory because i believe we fight them out in the 2012 election and kill them in the 2012 election and they can claim victory. >> the president put it all on the table. put everything they wanted on the table. but how do you talk to guys that watch ben affleck movies, get their ski mask ready and say, we got to hurt somebody. it'sç not an easy crew to negotiate with. >>> ahead, the tea party is rebelling against boehner. is his job in jeopardy? you'll hear what he says about it. >>> and michele bachmann claims to hate government spending. but we caught her taking another handout. that con job revealed next. ♪ ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ my only sunshine ♪ you makes me happy ♪ when skies are grey ♪ you'll never know, dear ♪ how much i love you ♪ please don't take my sunshine away ♪ [ male announcer ] as long as there are babies, they'll be chevy's to bri
