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

ha harry reid is a former boxer and this is playing offense. it is saying things aren't as bad as they look folks. >> that is interesting. because he said today what the president said about being able to keep your health care plan that he was telling the truth. i want to bring you to the numbers. 29,000 people signing up after the glitches were fixed on the website sunday and monday. the administration said they wanted 7 million to sign up in march. they need more than this amount of numbers to be claiming high fives in a victory lap. they found to replace the more than five million people's whose plans have been cancelled, they would have to sign up 240,000 odd people every day bren detwe december 1st and december 23rd. to cover the people's whose plans had been cancelled. the administration is pushing the fact that the numbers are increasing. they may not reach that goal but they are pushing the fact that they are getting the meger number in october. they are not going to be able to replace the people that have lost their coverage. we are go

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 sta

and harry reid comes back and says the president was right. was right when he was telling people they could keep their policies. reid's problem is this, this is out of the now fox poll. 38% of the people think the administration has been honest with them about the afford care act. 55% believe they deliberately deserved people. >> i think they are lucky in light of the tape we just ran. >> exactly. did they know in advance that people were going to get kicked off? but harry reid continues to sit there and say things that people know are not true. i mean, look, normally senator harry reid would be the "d" from nevada. maybe he is the "d" who is dumb. this is stupid on his part to say the president was right when the president said i was wrong. i apologize. was he "d"? who does he think we are that he can go on television and say those kind of things. maybe it's "d" who you going to believe, me or your cancellation letter? it was an extraordinary performance. and harry reid is capable of extraordinary performances. this topped them all. >> even t

[ laughter ] don't kill us all. [ laughter ] what is the nuclear option, by the way? >> the nuclear option means that it would only take 51 votes, a simple majority to get -- overcome this filibuster threat. [laughter] >> jon: oooooooh. [ laughter ] so deciding to allow majority rules to ings. ally -- incrementally increase government efishcy is so extreme it's the nuclear option. it's just like hero -- hiroshima of voting. how will mitch mcconnell counter? >> mr. president, i move to adurn the senate until 5:00 p.m. and ask for the yeas and nays. >> jon: hey,

and so, harry reid has tried it. especially as time runs out to streamlines things, run things through. this is where you are, john mccain. get your party to be reasonable. democrats have shown again and again. some times to our disliking. they're willing to compromise and cut deals, liberals and progressions don't always like you. don't steep that on the other side. >> gets the last word on this one. gene, i would like you to hang around. i am sure, you are a big duck fan. never miss it. >> if you are like me you have never seen the show. never seen the show. that won't prevent us from talking about what one of the stars of "duck dynasty" said today. you have heard haul about the duck dynasty controversy, the guy being suspend ford what he said about gay people. but his network apparently has absolutely no problem with what he said about black people. joy reid will join us for the discussion. first, a "last word" exclusive, the methodist pastor defrocked because he officiated at his gay son's wedding. the pastor and

i think it's harry reid wearing, trying on a tin hat. and i would just say, harry, give it up. can argue all you want but the sunrises in the west. it's not going to work. and you you get this speaking against the: receive cancellations. they know they lost their insurance. there is no way to talk around it the other thing that the obama administration the white house is pushing is the success of the exchanges because they got 30,000 people supposedly enrolled. let's assume it's enrolled. they aren't enrolled. >> no ones that paid premiums? >> exactly. shopping and semienrolled. aspirationally enrolled let's put it that way. in two days. you do the math on that and continue that enrollment up until the deadline of the 23rd of december, you come out with a number, which means that of the a million people who have lost insurance, 6% will have it restored. all the rest will not have it. and that's without adding a single person who never had insurance in the first place. it is a disaster with the numbers that the white house is touting. >> another democrat, holding town halls in w

harry reid is threatening if we have to work through christmas, so be it. republicans are taking a stand, but why? >> this is all the result of the nuclear option that senator reid pulled last month. remember, that was a really unprecedented move to lower the threshold to defeat a filibuster from 60 to 51 votes for a simple majority of senators. and that has just prompted enormous republican criticism. and they're saying that, look, now you did this move. we're going to pay you back. you're not going to be able to move your agenda very quickly. we're not going to let you move nominations quickly, even very noncontroversial ones. i think this is a sign of things to come for the next several months here. >> but in the end, ruth, will it change any of the outcomes? >> it won't change the outcomes. and it's absolutely clear that people are being confirmed today who would not have been confirmed under the previous rules. last night the most prominent example was nina pillard, law professor at georgetown, now a judge on what's called the second most important cou

i had a letter to harry reid and they said let's pass that bill to give us the leverage. this is all about leverage in the negotiations. >> new sanctions that will start in six months? >> the iranians know we're serious about the sanctions and give us a leverage for the administration and their talks. i happen to agree with my colleague that if we can have a civilian program, fine. that is the goal that i think actually both share on both sides of the aisle. >> i do part company with the idea that we should pass another sanctions bill. i know there are many pushing that right now. we don't want to be perceived by our partners as the ones that are throttling this agreement before it has a chance to live. and if we do, then i think the coalition that supported these sanctions which includes many reluctant partners like china and russia starts town ravel. it will be one thing if the iranians renege if, they cheat. then deals off. we not only resume the freeze, we add sanctions. i don't think we should take steps that aren't necessary right now. the iranians know if, they don

>> look, harry reid, in particular, is way out there.t their policies between 5.4 and 6.2 million policies have been cancelled. that represents 10, 12, 14 million people. they didn't get a renewal letter. they got a cancellation letter. and the president acknowledged it. he apologized and said he had mislead people and he apologized for it and yet harry reid comes back and says, you know, the president was right. was he right when he was telling people they could keep their policies or was he right when he apologized and said i'm sorry for misleading you? reidens problem is. this this is out of a new fox poll. 38% of the people think the administration has been honest with them about the affordable care act. 55% believe they deliberately deceived people. >> i think, you know what? , karl, i think they are lucky in light of the tape that we just ran. lucky they got those numbers. >> exactly. did they know in advance that people were going to kicked kicked off? 59 percent said yes, 39 percent said. no harry reid continues to sit there and

i'm not sure harry reid helped him at all in that particular interview. moving forward as the president's main problem as he tries to sell this? >> i think what the president has been doing the past week and will be doing over the next couple weeks is highlighting all the various benefits that the american people are already getting and i think that's an important thing because first he had to fix the website and it looks like we're well on track to getting there. but also make sure that people realize it's not just the several hundred thousand people that are signing up, but there are millions of people that are benefiting already whether it's through pre-existing -- the protections against pre-existing conditions or young people being allowed to stay on their policy and the other piece that's very important is the american people understand there is actually another choice besides this. and that is the republican plan, which is repeal, which is to take all of that away from you and that's what we need to keep going as democrats. >> we've heard from some
