. >> my name is david reid, i live on the corner of harrison and sixth, i'm on my rooftop. can see a tremendous amount of smoke, flowing over the freeway area. >> fortunately the air quality is good over here. i can hear lots of commotion, fire trucks on the streets. no one is panicking on this side of town yet. the smoke is just incredible. it alarming. >> you are probably a mile away but opposite from where the smoke is blown out over the water. >> yes. and the smoke is blowing my way, it is coming in my direction. from looking at the pictures on ktvu i can tell it getting worse. >> are there other people on on the roof with you. what else do you see. >> i see a few neighbors on their rooftops. not within communication, it just me so far up here. on my rooftop. i list in a building with eight people. i can see a neighbor upstairs. we're not too concerned. our air quality is good so far. i'm concerned about the billowing smoke causing air problems but not so far. >> if you had a typical day you had an inversion, it would sit down and it would be difficult for people in tha

were true or false. >> that was senate majority leader harry reid today once again taking to the senate floor to slam billion political donors david charles koch. reid's speeches against the koch brothers are part of a larger democratic strategy to make the koch brothers a major issue in the 2014 midterm elections. in the past harry reid has called the koch brothers unamerican and those who support them addicted to koch. today's word of the day was radical. >> when senate republican senators rush to defend the koch brothers, they are also defending the radical policy. how do we know it's radical? because they said it's radical. they said so. i'm not making those words up. they said -- one of the brothers kept harping on the fact that he has a radical philosophy. and they do. so i ask my republican colleagues from the senate, is even one of you, is even one of you willing to stand up and disavow the koch brothers' radical agenda? it's radical because they say it's radical and it is radical and all you have to do is look at it. >> today the koch brothers released this statement. like most americans we believe conduct is beneath his

david knanakamura. >> let's take a look at politics. senate harry reid may have legitimate bid for re-election. >> this makes him nervous. he's the majority leader. we don't know whether he will be after this fall. brian sandibal, the republican governor of nevada has high approval ratings this fall and there's going to be a lot of pressure on him against harry reid. re reid has faced a number of threats this go around. he used the nuclear option and overturned the filibuster rules and he's very controversial. you have a popular governor with support. brian sf aandibal could draw support and it's an interesting time in that race. you're looking at a lot of pressure coming from republicans for him to run. >> what else do we know about him? he's a republican but he seems pretty moderate? >> pretty moderate. he's worked with democrats in the state quite effectively. what's interesting is he is hispanic. he could draw support from that community. he did cause some frustration among that community last go around when he was running in a primary. he had toughe

there's some balance here. >> harry reid -- >> okay, do that. >> democrats have their own big spenders, including steyer. just a note, according to his website, davide cancer research, educational initiatives, and cultural institutions. of course, there's the -- >> wait, wait, wait. so just leaving politics aside, willie, when harry reid calls david koch un-american, because he's doing what democrats like george storos have done for years, which is fine, it's overlooking what he has done for this city, for cancer research, for the arts. could you tell people don't just live and breathe politics what this quote un-american man has done in new york city alone? >> well, i mean, we're talking about two separate things. politics they do in their lives, and they give money more than anyone. you see koch on buildings around the schools, lincoln center. >> the lincoln center, just thank the kochs for the show you're seeing and the art that the city has. i'm just saying -- >> a counterpoint? a counterpoint to that? >> first, since they've been called un-american -- un-american by the top democrat? let's first tell the truth about them and what they do and p

reid: charles and david koch are shrewd businessmen. their wealth is nearly unparalleled.ly in america but in the world. the brothers inherited a small oil company. they inherited this company from their dad. they built it into a multinational corporation. it refines oil, makes carpets, manufacturers fertilize,chemicals, makes paper products, extracts minerals, produces glass, they own a cattle ranch, lots of stuff. like most shrewd businessmen, the oil baron koch brothers are very good at protecting and growing their prodigious future and fortune. there's nothing un-american about that. but what is un-american is when shadowy billionaires pour unlimited money into our democracy to rig the system to benefit themselves and the wealthiest 1%. i believe in an america where economic opportunity is open to all. and based on their actions and policies they promote, the koch brothers seem to believe in an america where the system is rigged to benefit the very wealthy. based on senate republicans' ardent defense of the koch brothers and the fact that they advocate for many of the

do you think david koch is un-american or should harry reid apologize?he is running are against the american grain and un-american, yes. i'd say that about -- i think what harry reid was saying was the actions are un-american and they are and they should change. >> so you think david koch's actions are un-american? do you think david koch is un-american? >> in running those ads, absolutely. in giving to charity, no. in running those ads, absolutely. >> well, that is clarifying. hey. congratulations on yesterday. and i hope that works out well for you guys. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> tina, listen. i disagree with so much that george soras has done through the years as far as his political giving goes, but george -- there have been conservatives that have been visions attacking george soros. made the money. he has a right to spend that money in a way that he thinks is best. i would much rather him get involved in the political process than buy 300-foot yacht and sail around the world. what is wrong with this? whether you're on the left or the right? >

over the past ten days, harry reid, of course the senate's top democrat has waged an unrelenting assault on charles and david personally. here is how it started late last month. >> this is the truth. what is going on with these two brothers who made billions of dollars last year in an attempt to buy our democracy is dishonest, deceptive, false, and unfair. just because you have huge amounts of money, you should not be able to run these false, misleading ads by the hundreds of millions of dollars. >> well, earlier this week, reid doubled down. >> what is unamerican is when shadowy billionaires pour unlimited money into our democracy to rig the system to benefit themselves and the wealthiest 1%. senate republicans, madam president, are addicted to koch. >> addicted to koch. and yesterday he told reporters he would not let up, saying, quote, i've been told by lots of people don't pick a fight. they're wealthy. they're very vengeful. but without sounding too melodramatic, if not me, who? i am after the koch brothers. they are two people who are trying to buy america. they have the money to do it. rick tyler, a r

david coke's coch's skin. just for the record we looked it up and leader reid did tweet out sort of a correction i can't say allare deceptive so i repeated that. fox got more free advertising. >> e.y. he is playing exactly the game is he trying to play here. toss enough red meat to his base that people are going to fun and respond to it this is the thing that democrats are talking about they are very worried about the potential of being outspent by outside money this year. trying to get the big checkbooks off the sidelines. the way do you it is by attacking the boogie man out there and that's the koch brothers. try to continue to go to the senate floor to do that. he is provoking an action and has financial benefit. that's the game harry reid is playing. >> it bores me. i hear george soros and the koch brothers. you think those are the only people involved in politics any place. it's all the emails if you are persuadable voter out there. you don't care about the koch brothers. you don't care about george soros. what you care about is the fact that you are worried about whether you are going to have a job tomorr

reid is wearing himself out on the senate floor attacking the two men in america who could reduce him to life as an ordinary citizen. charles and davidlions with lots more to come, not just the mid term election but the big one in 2016. shaping up to what may be the best weapon in years. you can always tell when democrats are nervous, just check the front page of the "new york times". t announcing he will do whatever it takes to expose their campaign to rig the american political system to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. reid, only a multimillionaire is a rude little man and calls the brothers unamerican, radical and shadowy, the kind of talk you might have heard during the russian revolution. we all know how that turned out. commentators on the right and middle if there is one are rushing to compare with that of the legendary far left community organizer. his major work, rules for radicals, has been the blueprint for obama's social philosophy. directing attention to rule 13, pick target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it. reid is probably following rule five that ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
