we heard from mitch mcconnell and harry reid. if you look back and the rate of approval in terms of nominees comparing to the george w bush administration, what does it look like? >> president obama's nominees have seen a wait time of around 140 days. under george w. bush, those same nominees saw a wait time about a quarter of that amount. for district nominees, they have waited around 100 days. three times the wait time of george w. bush's nominees. you have seen significantly longer wait time from court approval. the difference was the senate democrats had it different strategy mixing the process up. they would try to hurt the nominee's chances before they even got to committee. when harry reid went on to the floor in the midst of this nuclear debate, they talked about how half of the cloture motions have come under president obama's term. which is a startling statistic. i think from 1917 through 1960, only 4 cloture motions were ever invoked the past 13 years. were ever invoked. the past 13 years, the number is 280. >> these n

what could harry do for the progressive base? out of both the white house and coming out of congress, democrats in congress. no really anticipate that. i think you will get the appointments, which are really important, but i don't think that you're going to get much of a change in terms of overall policy going forward. i think very, very quickly president obama is just going to be a lame duck and we're going to talk about nothing more than the presidential election. >> are you that pessimistic? have we reached the point democrats have allowed the bar to be moved so far to the right and already begun to focus on conservative policy and the nibbling around the edges of it for progressives that there really is no chance having done this this late that harry reid and the democrats can effect change. >> i'm not quite that pessimistic. certainly in the legislature there's almost no hope of getting anything big through. immigration may be an exception, tax reform, maybe but thought don't look good. there's a lot they can do through exec

( laughter ) and just listen, just listen to the flimsy excuse offered by senate majority dictator harry reid. >> in the history of our country, some 230-plus years, there have been 160 filibusters of executive and judicial nominations. half of them have occurred during the obama administration. only 23 district court nominations have been filibustered in the entire history of our country, 23. you know what? 20 of them have been in the last four and a half years. >> stephen: hey, republicans wouldn't have to block them if obama nominated conservatives, like, say, republican senator chuck hagel. i mean, that guy-- what's that? they filibustered him, too? well, that just proves they're bipartisan. they'll filibuster anyone obama nominates. ( laughter ) and we can't trust the democrats with all this powers, folks. they can't do anything right. at harry reid's press conference announcing the end of the filibuster, they misspelled filibuster with two "ls."

harry's not alone. he is dire and he is dramatic, may be alone in that but what do you think about his reasoning. >> i have great respect for harry. i read many of his books and agree with him at lost time. i don't agree with you here, harry. the reason i don't look, washington is paralyzed right now. it can't do much of anything. all of the negatives on the economy that we saw in obama's first term are kind of going away except for obamacare. you're not seeing a huge surge in spending. you're not seeing a massive increase in debt. debt is going up but not nearly as fast as it was three or four years ago. i see the policy environment in washington becoming somewhat bullish. i think 2014 is going to be a great year because washington is not standing in the way. melissa: do wheels come off eventually though? >> they always do. but the question is when? when? melissa: how can we continue down this road? when will we see runaway inflation with all the money-pumping we've done you. >> will not see runaway in

harry reid is one of the staunchest supporters of obama care. is he letting some of his staff opt out of buying insurance through the new health care exchanges? according to chris frates, reid is the only top congressional leader to grant exceptions to some of his staff. lisa day jordan has been tracking congress's own health care decisions and certainly helped with the story. how is harry reid able to do what he's doing and why is he the only congressional leader that has made this decision? >> he is the only of the top four congressional leaders, the top democrat and republican, both the house and senate to make this exception. why is he able to do it, wolf? well, frankly, it's because of wording in the affordable care act. it's all semantics. look exactly who is required to get on these exchanges. got a graphic here. essentially all members of congress have to go on the exchanges if they want their job-related premium support, the money that comes from the federal government as their employer and also the law says members and congressional st

harris? >> well, that would be a lot, but again, we don't have hard numbers to judge this by. and we know republicans are talking about this on this saturday. >> republicans say they're skeptical and waiting to see if the obama administration will live up to these promises. >> what they have done was to reset the expectations so many different times. they've missed half their legal deadlines, they've had 22 delays, given 1,700 waivers and people are saying, wait a minute, this is not the way it was supposed to be. >> they're also shutting down the site again tonight. there's also the issue of who is signing up for what. one consulting firm estimates that 800,000 people have enrolled in medicaid. that's the taxpayer paid health insurance for the poor. compare that to only about 142,000 who have signed up for private health insurance plans through the obama care exchanges. harris? >> interesting. some of the messaging coming out this week, molly, has been shop in off-peak hours once this thing
