guest: harry reasoner was a news anchor and said, i will give it six months.hard nixon was on tape kind of bemoaning the whole ms. thing. like what a pain in the butt to use that moniker. a columnist was withering in his criticism. there was plenty of criticism. gloria steinem was a celebrity at the time. a lot of people said it would not have happened without her glamour. she happens to be brilliant. i do not say that lightly. she was always a real journalist. it was a hard magazine to undermine. the critics tried. host: let's get to phone calls. kim in virginia. caller: i picked up my first copy of "ms." at 16. i remember my mother at the time, how sexual-harassment was rampant. in the man's world, it was kept quiet. those were things that they did to women that made women not want to work and go back to the home. the tactics were suppressed in a woman's mind. we had a right to a voice. they wanted us to put us in a small box, but the box had to become bigger and bigger and finally we said, we will speak out ourselves. my first copy it was a representation t

it's one of the reasons that harry reid has repeatedly had the senate vote on measures where the paymentllionaires. because he wants to pound this message through to voters. it's one they are going to take into 2012. that the republicans over and over again protected millionaires at the expense of ordinary people. >> tim, do you see any way that the republicans can negotiate another way to pay for this? >> the question is what will the democrats do when republicans block this? are they really going to go into the next year letting all the supposed stimulus in the bill expire? are they going to let the payroll tax return to its previous level? are they going to avoid the dock fix? that means doctors would stop taking medicare. there's all sorts of stuff in this legislation that democrats, if they actually believe the arguments, think are necessary to help the economy. and so they don't want the economy going down in an election year. i don't think the democrats can play chicken and let the payroll tax go back up. >> how do you see this playing out? >> i see the republicans defeating the t

he started as a writer off the air used to write a lot for harry reasoner, a brilliant writer and ats guy is a great writer and he might be interesting on the air and they gave him a try-out. they gave him a couple of pieces and specials for cbs news and then finally he got his famous spot as the closer on "60 minutes" that's really where he became part of the american family. >> chris, we throw the word legend around a lot. in his situation it really was true. of course, what he brought to television was something that we hadn't really seen before which was this commentary moment in television news. and now it seems we see that all a over the place, right? a lot of newscasts ending with my thoughts on this. or my comments about. this but before it was just him. >> yeah. well, but the thing about his commentary, back in the great days of cbs news, eric sevrai did a serious political commentary. andy did these lifestyle commentaries. these wonderful, you know, my thoughts. what's up with this? and that was new. and he had such a unique voice and, as i say, was such a splendid writer.

ed, what is the reason for the postponement? >> harris you saw that tragic news out of mexico in the last 24 hours, a top official dying in that tragic helicopter crash. as a result president calderon from mexico will not now be coming to honolulu we are told. they are going to postpone the north american leaders summit which as you suggested involves leaders of mexico, president obama, as well as the prime minister of canada. but nevertheless, the apex summit, which is the primary reason for the president being here in honolulu does go forward. there, the president announced a framework for a new trade agreement. he is trying to build on that u.s./south korean trade deal that won bipartisan support a few weeks ago. is he trying to put together this trade deal with smaller countries, vietnam, asia. the president wanted to make sure while is he at the sum mits dealing with world leaders he has an eye focused on an issue for the american voters, harris, which is jobs. >> harris: i understand there has been controversy too. upset business le

douglas macarthur, there is a consensus that we did the right thing for the right reason, but at great political cost. harrybeen in power seven years. he had decided seven years was enough. he had the power to permit 10 from becoming the nominee. he probably had the power to make adlai stevenson the nominee. without power went to the dead weight of the truman administration. my sense is that true men and -- truamn and stevenson's relationship never quite recovered. >> there was another factor. there was a lot of corruption in the democratic party. there had been a scandal with one of president truman's ts.istanc it was not a happy thing to become the nominee in 1952. as i left the supreme court, i went to see the chief justice to say goodbye. he was very close friends with truman. the chief said to me, your guy is not going to make it. i said, what? he said, i was with the president last night. he told me that he has lost patience with adlai stevenson. it is going to be barkley. they tried to get it for barkley, but everybody said, he is too old. >> we are live from libertyville, the stevenson family farm,

part of the reason they do not have a deal, according to the senate majority leader, is you. harry reid says you are enforcing a no-tax pledge to the point that it is getting in the way of a deal for the supercommittee. congressman tom wolf of virginia has come out and said you are paralyzing congress with this no new taxes' pledge. can you answer to those charges? guest: sure, this is exactly what reid and obama and wolf said last spring when we were coming up with the $2.50 trillion in spending cuts. president obama won a several trillion dollars in tax increases instead of spending cuts. there were even a couple of republicans who flirted with the idea. but 236 -- 238 members of the house have signed the pledge not to raise taxes. 41 senators. they are going to keep that commitment. i am not in the way of a tax increase. the commitment by congressmen and senators stands in the way of a tax increase. the good news is we have been through this exercise once before -- last june, july, august, and we got $2.50 trillion in spending cuts, no tax increases. the reason the deal was reac

the other one got to go to harry potter world for reasons that are obscure to me.cause i never get a chance to spend time with them. the first day they came, amid the go to every single meeting that i had. which was a huge mistake. they went on strike the entire rest of the week because they were in washington. one of those meetings was held in harry reid's extremely fancy conference room in the capitol building. tiles and mosaics and chandeliers and use of the capital. everyone is there to brief us. for imagine to this meeting, dick durbin nudges me. my 6-year-old daughter who was standing in the opposite corner holding up a handmade sign that said i am bored. [laughter] "board". a dagger through the former superintendent of the schools. take it from me. that is the way a lot of people feel about what is going on. they're not spending their time rigid-riveted. they know how serious these times are and they want to lead this economy in a stronger and more vibrant than the economy we inherited and they are increasingly anxious about our ability to do so. and increas

the oldest one got to go to harry potter world, for reasons that are still obscure to me. [laughter] and certainly obscure to the other two girls. but i was so excited because i never get a chance to spend time with them, and certainly not there. so the first day they came, i made him go through every single meeting that i had. which was a huge mistake because they went on strike the entire rest of the week they were in washington. one of those meetings was held in harry reid's extremely fancy conference room in the capital. tiles, mosaics, chandeliers, and views of the capital. we were having a briefing on china. there were democratic and republican senators there. everybody was there to brief us. 40 minutes into this meeting, dick durbin net disney in the ribs and points to might then it 6-year-old daughter -- he nudges me in the ribs and points to my then a 6-year-old daughter because she was holding up a sign that said "i am board." b-o-a-r-d.

reasonably mild even by. contemporary by standards. everyone remembers give 'em hell, harry. he gave a speech where he compared thomas dewey to hitler and mussolini and it was recorded and printed in that fashion. he said he was like what happened in germany or the financial interests decided they had to have someone represent them and it was adolf hitler. the same thing happened in italy. the dewey people went to a ballistic but harry truman stuck by his guns and continued the campaign in that fashion. we have a rich tradition of that. moreover, abraham lincoln was, in a way, one of the first bloggers. when he was a lawyer and active in illinois politics he wrote scathing criticisms of his political opponents under a pseudonym, scathing criticisms that have very little basis in fact. it was very opinionated and very scurrilous. because he was so well-known, one of his opponents called him out and challenged him to a duel. because he was challenged and a large gangly man, abraham decided he would choose broadswords and they met across the line because tools were not permissib

the only reason spending restraint was enacted august 2 was because tax increases were off the table, and that is happening again this time. and harry reid is right that the legislature is not going to raise taxes. we are going to get $1.20 trillion in spending restraints either as a committee or through the sequester so taxpayers will win. >> to follow-up on that, there's the argument that the only way to achieve real savings for this grand bargain but there would be multi-trillion dollars in savings would be through a combination of getting new revenue, which in a substantial amount would only come through a tax increase, and cuts, and that that grand bargain will rally -- really help our economy by protecting our credit rating and steering our economy back on track and giving the financial world some confidence that we can straighten out our budget. how do you answer that? >> that is the sales pitch of the modern democratic party. that is what they set in 1982 and 1990. the only would it help the economy is big deficit reduction. when democrats do this, one of the things to watch is we use to talk about spending as the problem be

harris: all right. casey stegall, thank you very much. let's stick on the east coast for just a second here, there's a reason why it's called occupy wall street. it is where the whole thing started back on september 17th. a group of protesters showing up in new york city's financial district. and digging in for the long haul. and just three weeks after that, the call for sosh equality and end to what they call corporate greed spread to cities nationwide demonstrations in chicago, and boston and it went global and 99% you heard casey talking about, no longer americans fighting for a cause and occupiers setting up shop in london, and paris just to name a few cities and it's a movement we have been tracking for nearly two months now, organizers claiming supporters occupy more than 500 sites worldwide. we're awaiting a news conference right now from president obama. he's currently in hawaii meeting with world leaders to talk about creating jobs and introducing business in foreign markets saying today the asia pacific region is critical to u.s. growth. chief white house correspondent ed henry is live for us in honolulu and ed, met with canadian pr
