listen to what she told candy crowley. >> when we looked at the polling numbers from yesterday, we hadricans who said they need to drop this bill. just stop talking about health care and move on to something else, or they need to start new. so don't the republicans have a point? >> the point is that we have a responsibility here. and the republicans have had a field day going out there and misrepresenting what is in the bill, but that is what they do. >> it has been a message you are saying? people don't understand -- >> no, i don't think -- there isn't a bill. when we have a bill, which we will in a matter of days, that is the bill we can settle. the house and senate bill had major differences which we are hoping now to reconcile, and then when we have a bill, you can -- as i say, you can bake the pie and sell the pie, but you have to have a pie to sell. when we do, we will take it out there. i feel confident about what is in there. >> you can see the full interview with the house speaker on "state of the union with candy crowley" airing this sunday at 9:00 a.m. eastern. cnn chief med

we've got another one to show you there from crowley's. this is columbia avenue with the big mounds of snow. we have surpassed that with over 55 inches. you mentioned syracuse. i looked at what other cities average around 55 inches. hartford, connecticut, 50. minnesota, rochester, st. cloud in minnesota, 50 inches. and right down the road, beckley, west virginia, they average around 60 inches. their elevation is so much higher than ours is right here. >> a lot of folks thatave moved here from out of town say it feels like oer winters. look at the area that it's still under a blizzard warning. that storm which is intensifying continues to intensify off the jersey shoreline. unfortunately, it's still throwing back that moisture in over us. so overnight tonight, what we'll be seeing -- it's because of this strong southern branch of the jet stream that we've had associated with an el nino. really unprecedented to see these storms come up and really intensify right over us and the combination even with some of the sleet and freezing rain yester

today speaking to cnn's candy crowley, speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, she seems resolute that democratsth or without republican support. listen here. >> they have had plenty of opportunity to make their voices heard and if they wanted to truly have -- bipartisanship is a two-way street. let me say this. if a bill can be bipartisan even though the votes may not be bipartisan because they have made their imprint on this. as i say, we were all for public option. we are now going to the republican idea and exchange. that's a very big -- >> lot of democrats. on the bug question of what's next, it is looking more and more likely that democrats will use a controversial parliamentary shortcut known as reconciliation to get a health care bill to the president's desk. reconciliation may allow democrats to make changes to the health care bill with only a -- 51 votes. single majority rather than 60 votes supermajority they would need otherwise because of republican opposition. and republicans renine unanimously opposed to the democrats' bill saying today that the use of this device reconciliation o

monica crowley on what the white house is saying on this now. the back room brawl. the players, all the fans. you can judge for yourself. who is to blame? for strong bones, i take calcium. but my doctor told me that most calcium supplements... aren't absorbed properly unless taken with food. he recommended citracal. it's different -- it's calcium citrate, so it can be absorbed with or without food. citracal. eating healthy is important, but only vegetables can give you vegetable nutrition. one of these will get you more than half way to your five daily servings. v8. what's your number? another heart attack could be lurking, waiting to strike. a heart attack caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix, taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death, by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots. ask your doctor about plavix, protection that helps save lives.

. >> let's bring in our national correspondent, susan crowley.ay. this was a huge media event. dozens and dozens of tv stations around the world were taping this live, and millions and millions of people, we won't know until tomorrow how many millions, but they were watching. >> just a huge audience, more than 200 reporters representing agencies as far away as japan and norway, but no one got close because the reporters were all kept in the building that you see over my shoulder. and it's about a mile or so away from where tiger woods was speaking in a clubhouse. this was a tightly controlled event. we're going to take you inside the ballroom to show you how most of the reporters watched tiger woods make his apology. they were watching on closed circuit monitors, and you could hear a pin drop in the room. after everything was over, the pga commissioner came to talk to reporters because, as you know, tiger woods took no questions, and i asked the commissioner what it was like for him to face tiger woods as he made his apology. >> at the end of the

monica crowley on that. again eat those pre-packed salad packages. it's not good. all that plus kelly's court on that basket brawl we brought you yesterday, and john rich is in the house top of the hour. jon: megan, thanks. jane: you've heard it before, but this time we really mean it. do not try this at home. a 62-year-old man tried to amp up his snow sled, and he ended up in the hospital. he rigged a rocket-like backpack to his sled. take a look. apparently the man holds an annual sledding party, and he always does outrageous things. this year he had somebody light a wick, the device exploded, he ended up with second-degree burns and has possible eye damage, and this might shock you, but police say he was drinking. before the stunt. jon: president obama's new budget proposal presents some stunning numbers. for instance, the projected deficit in the coming year expected to reach 11% of the country's total economic output. and much of our debt is sustained with foreign credit. china and other emerging powers

. >> stand by, dana bash, candy crowley is here together with the best political team on television. we're going to assess what's going on. candy, a lot of people think this is just political theater. how shocked should we be at the end of six or seven hours if they actually emerge and say, you know what, we've got some sort of momentum going. maybe we can work out a deal. >> they'll probably come out and say we've got momentum going, we'll see. i would be stunned if they came out and said, well, we have the makings of a deal here. i don't think that's going to happen. but i think this is important not just because it's theater and all that kind of stuff but because the president has got to get the american people on his side. he has to be the one that's seen as trying to be bipartisan. and the republicans have to make their points without looking like the party of no. so there's a lot going on in terms of dynamics. >> but, john, the democrats harry reid in the senate, nancy pelosi in the house, they're already assuming this is going to fail and they have got some plan b ready to foe

crowley, you need to be mindful of that from the outset -- if your goal is to prosecute criminally, you what ever else you could say about the obama administration, torture and water boarding seems to be off the table. what has come up a great deal in recent weeks because of the underwear bomber is the issue of why we interrogate people >> contemporary intelligence information that we can act on quickly to stop further attacks or is it to gain evidence that we can use to prosecute this person? how should law enforcement or intelligence or any sort of government officials handled these interrogations' with those goals in mind? or is this a false choice between these two areas? talk, if you would, of the question of interrogations' in context and how to to deal with the competing goals. >> if it is that complex, and have the choice but to arrest, you may have to lower your sights on the prosecution. you did not need any thing that the suspect said, just the witnesses. there is a fundamental paradox which is this. when you are talking about somebody you rest of the streets, when you have a
