harry reid said we aren't going to take them off. and they said we can do this in a bipartisan fashion and if we arrive in the senate we can work with the house. and he put us on a course to begin the fiscal year without a budget and a battle over spending. >> is the senate in a position of just stopping the process? >> that's correct. >> that's the problem. and maybe the hypothetical the democrats have a lot of good ideas. but it's that one person, senator harry reid has stopped everything and the president, rather than giving senator harry reid a good swift kick and telling him to at least move it forward, he's not there? >> i think he may want him to stop it. he may want these tough decisions about spending and so farther to be left until after the election believing that one way or another he will have more leverage then. whatever it is, it's a sign of how washington is broken and how the president has failed to lead. >> how long will it carry for gov. romney, the issue that the president isn't working but campaigning. >> it's no

so what does harry reid say about that? he said his poor father must be so embarrassed about his son. let me see you go up on that rope one more time, harry. not my dad no! you're right about my dad! so now some people have said well, harry reid doesn't have exact proof. yeah okay, mitt romney, where is your proof? you have it! you could release it tomorrow and end this conversation! there is an obvious reason why you're hiding it! because you didn't pay the taxes, did you mitt? now here's an amazing part of this. did you know that nixon had the same, exact problem? let me quote "the washington post" from back then. mr. nixon acknowledged under questioning that he paid only nominal income taxes in 1970 and 1971 but he did not give figures. and now that identical problem is the reason why richard nixon said these famous words. watch. >> i've earned every cent and in all of my years in public life, i have never obstructed justice. and i think too that i could say that in my years of public life, that i welcome this kind of exa

maybe she could have made harry reid's team. i don't know how we could accommodate his wishes. >> it is an injustice. you claim to be a business reporter. how much does ralph lauren save by out sourcing these uniforms to china? do any other p cs do this? >> a lot of companies out source things that are made. everything is made in china. you can make those uniforms in the united states. >> bring back what he wants. >> but the fact is it is cost prohibitive. >> it is more expensive to make things here, and the u.s. olympic committee could have made the decision in awarding the contract to ralph lauren. we want the products made in the united states. there are lots of manufacturers turning things out. you could have done it. >> you know what impresses me, we should bring home more gold medals. they are not exactly hot. they are not going to be distracked it like i guess they have late night booty calls. our team is not going to be hit on as much. >> people are not actually competing in these uniforms. >> they are spending their lei

>> harry reid is a reserved, mormon gentleman from nevada.e him get that agitated, but this is one of those rare issues where both sides agree this has been an injustice to the united states. the united states olympic committee is privately funded. the government gives no money to our olympic team, but you're starting to hear around capitol hill that perhaps in 2014, we should apply a lot of pressure so that the winter game, the uniforms are made in america. you've had a lot of -- sherrod brown said he had a hugo boss factory in his district that would be more than happy to make these and certainly speaker boehner said they would know better than this to do it. so one of those rare issues where both sides agree, but in terms of real change happening this olympic, probably not going to happen. >> thank you so much, my friend. >> be well. >> okay. stay with us. the day's top lines are coming up next. [ female announcer ] you can make macaroni & cheese without freshly-made pasta. you could also cut corners by making it without 100% real cheddar

harry reid and barack obama refuse to do anything about that. so asking people to pay more money interest washington so they can't keep more what have they earn actually makes matters worse and digs the hole deeper. so again, i think you are going to see this underscores what's going on this election season n. november, the american people are going to have a real choice. they have to respond to the question they are asking themselves, what direction they want this country to go in? do we want bigger government and washington making the decisions? or do we want to empower our small businessmen and -women of creating value and building businesses, even though the president doesn't think it's the small business people who build the businesses. >> sean: you didn't build that -- a lot of smart people. a lot of people work hard. i think this is one of the two biggest gaffs the president has made in the last two weeks. let me play this one first and get your reaction. what does it tell you about the president, coupled with his failed economic policies

the state news agency calling harry reid out saying he's violating the olympic spirit after reid saids should be pirned. he asked if chinese will burn their chinacy made appliances, clothing, and blackberry. >> seven minutes of terror is what the mission to mars faces and it hangs on the unbelievable acrobatic maneuvers above the red planet. >> we begin with the weather. this year, the drought is one of the worst recorded in u.s. history. 2012 now being compared to the dust bowl in the great depression. the first six months of 2012 go down at the hottest ever on record. that plus severe droughts have prompted the agriculture department to declare a disaster in 26 states. allison is looking at how this is impacting our wallets. let's start with meteorologist alexandra steel. is it going to be as bad as it was a couple weeks ago? >> we have a couple problems going on. we're in an incredible drought. so much of the country is, and drought begets drought and heat begets heat. we get into a siegal. here's a look at the current u.s. monitor. you see a patch in texas or isolated area. to see

. >> greta: harry reid won't consider a budget. you think he's going to say, i am going to take that up -- >> that's an excellent point. the senate has not considered a budget for 3 years. does that mean the house shouldn't pass a budget? does that mean we shouldn't do our job? >> greta: i was thinking it might be a more interesting use of time in the vote tomorrow, the only way to get this changed by getting a republican senate. so it might be a better idea to campaign for your republican colleagues in the senate. that was my only thought. >> the debate today and tomorrow highlights the great difference between where many of us on the republican side stand on this issue. i think it will be as it was last election cycle, a major issue in this upcoming election. since the health care law has passed every election since then, the overwhelming american people have elected people who have supported this law. we are highlighting what is in the bill. which is something that was not done when the bill was first passed. people were told ft

the chinese are responding with their own message for senator harry reid.ng to you. olympic uniform gate is getting hotter this morning. you said it and you know the story. the u.s. olympic team uniforms made by ralph lauren that were actually made in china. as you said, now the chinese government is weighing in and they're slamming members of congress for their outrage over the uniforms. in fact, in a statement from its official news agency, the chinese government says, quote, the olympic spirit which has nothing to do with politics, chants mutual understanding and fair play, so tagging the uniforms with politics by those u.s. politicians exposes narrow nationalism and ignorance and violated the olympic spirit. now, you may recall just last week, senate majority leader harry reid was particularly outspoken in his objection to the uniforms. here he is on thursday. >> i am so upset that i think the olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. think they should be embarrassed. they should take the uniforms, put them in a pile and burn them. >> china res

okay, news flash for harry reid, economics is the allocation of scarce resources. now being in government he doesn't understand that, but for the rest of the world, this is something that we have to pay attention to. by the way, john baner has to share the miss because he also has that. >> if you have your own hit or miss send it

harry reid is a mormon, never comes up politically. george romney, the first romney to run for president never comes up. we live in a world where inventory jells are hugely important and they have a vote that counts in the republican party. if it's up against barack obama, maybe it's neutralized, is that what we're all saying? >> i'm not saying it shouldn't come up, no threshold for running for office. i have never lived in a government where religion is as important to political life as in this country. christianity is important. you can't run for president in this country and say you're an atheist. >> it's very recent that these religion -- >> do the nitty-gritty politics, chris, add what helped him run up his totals in nevada and in an election con committeesest test. chris: we mentioned al smith. he stepped into a photo-op that backfired. he is posing with a gaggle, a flock of cardinals and bishops there, probably forgetting the anti-catholic element would use it against him. this shot was everywhere during smith's campaign. it did

today harry reid said that uniforms should be burned.he house minority leader nancy pelosi's response was more tempered. >> we take such pride and they work so hard, so excellent and beautiful and they should be in uniforms made in america. >> team usa will wear the uniforms at the opening ceremony in london on july 27th. >> interesting. burning is a little extreme. i understand keeping it all usa but with folks on the games, and some weather now, rob, what's happening? >> nothing unlucky about the forecast. friday the 13th. yesterday was the last of the hot days around the bay area. this morning you'll probably notice you'll have an extra blanket of low clouds to wake up to as we show you some of the temperatures outside. what a change we're seeing in livermore. it was this time yesterday we were still close to 70. so right now we're in the upper 50s, that's a good sign. it means that the ocean air conditioning is pushed all the way into the altamont pass and into the delta through fairfield where the winds are cranking up. especially i

majority leader harry reid.art of an interview he gave to the huffington post, the article says, quote, a month or so ago, reid said a person who had invested with bain capital called his office and said, quote, harry, he didn't pay any taxes for ten years. reid recounting the person as saying, now, do i know that that's true? well, i'm not certain, said reid. but obviously he can't release those tax returns. how would it look? folks, this is a dramatic escalation of a controversy over romney's taxes. the speculation is coming from one of the most powerful politicians in the country. it comes just days after romney was caught off guard with another question about his taxes. >> was there ever any year when you paid lower than the 13.9%? >> i haven't calculated that. i'm happy to go back and look but -- my view is i have paid all the taxes required by law. >> romney still hasn't come back with an answer on that. and he still hasn't addressed the question about his finances. the american people have a right to know

>>neil: not so fast, harry reid, and you are no fan of harris harris, speak for yourself but harry reidusing the star to block a vote on a republican plan to extend the butch tax cuts. for everyone. for one more year. not just couples earning under $250,000, but, everyone, for young year. senate democrats blocking consideration of the president's tax plan and my next guest is not happy with the way this is sorting out and utah senator hatch introduced the g.o.p. amendment. to me it seems logical what you are proposing, just resolve the issue now, extend everyone for one year, rehash this, get serious reform going next year, it would seem to be a win-win for everyone, you are not raising taxes on anyone in a murky environment so why isn't it going anywhere? >>guest: well, the democrats are filibustering their own bill. they know that if we, what we offered this morning, what the senator mcconnell offered this morning, he said, look, we will bring up the president's bill, that is, to keep the taxes on for everyone over $200,000, and for that we will bring up the hatch bill which, of cours

he asked senator harry reid for two votes. one of the president's plan and one on a republican plan to extend tax cuts for people of all income levels. majority leader harry reid denied the request. he argued the gop vote would really do nothing but obstruct the president's plan and give massive tax breaks to the people who really don't need them in our economy. a vote will come soon on obama's plan. and it should pass as long as the republicans play ball. but remember, we've seen a record number of filibusters. stay tuned. for more, let's turn to "new york times" columnist charles blow, mark simone, and ari melber. mark, let me ask you first, why is it? why is it that the republicans want to continually protect the top 2% in the country? >> i don't trust either side on this. it's not going to be great either way. the bush tax cuts were only for the wealthy, just for the rich, but 98% of it went to the middle class. that's become obvious from this. when you have an out of control spending problem, is the solution to figure out

>plans.not on the budget. >> senator harry reid put it in his pocket, and that was the end of that. >> we had lots of alternatives. we presented a democratic alternative budget very close to the president's budget, and we should be clear. the president submitted a budget to the united states congress. >> he did. >> just on the issue of today which is sending a very clear signal that 98% of the american people should get tax relief. we have a difference of opinion on the issue of deficit reduction. we think that we should pursue deficit reduction in a balanced way like every by partl bi-partn commission has proposed. that's what the president is saying. let's at least provide relief certainty for 98% of the american people. let's get it done today. >> congressman, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> straight ahead, everyone knows our country is in financial trouble. you would think the government would be extra careful with your money, right? well, so how did our government just flush $14 billion down the toilet, and where did all that money really go? you'll find out and you're not going

is where we need to call out the democrats both glenn greenwald and matt stoller pointed out to harry reid for example he used to support an art of the fed but now suddenly change his mind but it's not just harry reid it's the entire democratic leadership in the house like nancy pelosi if any who are they all voted against this bill in the house yesterday and yet they failed to get their party line which is also very interesting now i'll be speaking with congressman dennis kucinich about this on tomorrow's show he by the way fully supports and voted for the fed audit but wait there's even more even if this bill did make it through the senate many think that the white house might veto it that that veto would be very very likely not that shocking any more i guess considering that this administration has turned the word transparency flat on its face but it is oh so very telling so the point is there are other things going on in congress things that everybody should be paying attention to now the time. scott battle is a good pulse on the partisan divide but it's just that the art of the fed ba
