i take the common defense seriously and personally, so imagine how i felt when harry reid recently said that -- troops was a waste of time. he was talking about providing food, body armor, and ammunition to troops. the plan also would give pay raises to troops. as the president threatened to veto the bill, senator reid thought it was a waste of time. but you are wondering, why would the president veto this bill? it had nothing to do with national security. the president and his party wanted more money for government agencies and in order to get it they wanted to hold this plan hostage. the only democrat -- they were blocking the pay raise for troops and they intended to shut down the federal government. taking care of troops should be a top priority, but it is not on the democrat to do list. to think that president obama still has no strategy for isis yet it is part of the strategy to get more money for the irs, i think they don't know the consequences are sacrifices it takes. we need to make sure troops have the right equipment. the right training. when we send them to war, make sure w

senate democratic leader harry reid is sort of a master at this. he's almost built a career saying things out loud that then his staff has to walk back and say, well, he didn't really mean it. or often what they'll claim is, well, he didn't mean to say that out loud -- [laughter] which is different from saying he didn't actually mean it. former governor jeb bush of florida, a likely 2016 republican presidential candidate, has dealt with this issue himself just this last week where he's had three or four iterations of whether he would have supported the invasion of iraq back in 2003 as his then-president brother led at the time. and he's kind of had to twist himself into contortions to explain whether he would have taken the same actions as his brother. finally saying, you know, if i'd been in office, no, i would not have led, i would not have ordered up the invasion of iraq and everything that's come after that. so that's a great example a recent example of a walkback. a washington handshake is something that many of us are also probably quite fami

because, you know this law was rammed through my harry reid. to the u.s. senate was because she was going to be the vote to stop obamacare and he won. harry reid stuffed the rules, the supreme court upheld it and now the president says it's woven into the fabric of american society and it will not be undone. >> well he's certainly welcome to say that. but, you know i, and i think probably a lot of other people are going to continue to look for a better way. the fact of the matter is there are some excellent alternatives. we have to settle on which is the best one. it has to be clear and plain to the american people so that they actually want it. they recognize that it's going to be so much better and should not be something that they have to be forced into. we're going to be talking a lot more about that. it's going to be an issue in 2016. and hopefully congress will work with the republican candidate who is running in 2016 to come up with something very solid. >> last question need a question answer. do you think this improves the chances of a

harry reid clearly blaming the chinese, and last week, the state department refused to comment one way or the other. but what we do know, of course, this hack was intended to find foreign spies and who was behind it. and recent attacks recently have been blamed on the russians. >> john, thank you. >>> at a turkish border crossing today with syria the remains of an american who died fighting isil were handed over to his family. the have a shows hundreds of people turning out in a kurdish town to pay respects to brunfield. he was killed last month fighting alongside of kurdish forces. >>> isil in iraq, this comes a day after president obamaored another 450 troops to be deployed to advise and assist iraqi forces. jamie joins us with that story. >> reporter: well, david. general martin dempsey the joint chiefs chairman, added two words about the stream, lily pad. he said think of this base where the u.s. advisers are going to be going as a lily pad. and he said it's a logistics sustained base, where iraqis can get food and supplies, and even brush up on their training as they prepare for t

it was harry reid. harry reid just says oh, by the way, the chinese did this. so susan collins backed him up. but the administration still isn't saying. if harry reid hadn't. >> we know. >> are they afraid to point the finger at china? they're afraid of retaliation? >> yes, yes, yes. and if the united states retaliates china said any retaliation by the united states will be considered an act of war against china. so they're sort of pinning us back like this. and it's a problem. because they do have one of the most effective cyberwarfare units in the world. only maybe the russians. >> we're good. we spy too. >> that's what they have. >> but they can't do anything about it. >> i don't know about that. >> they play games with our debt. >> we're in a very vulnerable place because of that. >> here is a question. why are we always worried about -- so we have a good offense. we have a lot of information probably on the chinese, the russians, whoever else is spying on us. but why don't we build that defense? why are we so vulnerable? korea, china, who else? any comers?

we showed you reaction from mitch mcconnell and from harry reid. let's hear what senator lindsay graham, just announced as a presidential candidate in the last couple weeks what he had to say about the ruling. >> i am surprised and disappointed and the ruling is in and senator mcconnell said it well this doesn't mean obamacare is fixed and it means it's going to continue until somebody finds a better way or we are going to be left with obamacare for the rest of our lives and your children's lives and those that follow. 2016 race will be centered on the domestic care. here is what this supreme court ruling means. if the public wants to continue obamacare, which i think would be a huge mistake, vote democrat. if you want to repeal and replace obamacare with something better for you and your family bipartisan, vote republican. hillary clinton, the most likely democratic nominee, will make obamacare her own. whoever the republican party may nominate, the one thing i can assure you is that they will repeal and replace obamacare with something better. so

harry reid certainly thinks so. he said so yesterday. however, the point being there have been hacks in the white house and the pentagon last year and those were blamed not on the chinese but the russians. what we don't know is whether it was one break in and two separate thefts, or two separate break ins. aolot of unknowns there jonathan. >> thank you john. >>> president went to capitol hill today to make a personal appeal to house democrats to support a bill to expand his power to negotiate trade deals. but hours later the democrats helped vote down that plan. libby casey has more from washington. >> reporter: a major defeat. >> the ayes of 126 the nays are 3 zoo the motion is not adopted. >> torpedoed his fast track authority on strayed. it would have allowed the administration to negotiate trade agreements, to stop fast track democrats had to vote down a bill to train and help americans out of work because of globalization. that is something democrats normally support but not this time because it linked to the bigger trade package. >

office and somewhere in that hallway between the finance committee and harry reid's office, this errord. it seems plainly -- anyone who's been around legislation can recognize it as a drafting oversight, a drafting error. and the supreme court figured that out, which seemed to me to be an easy thing to figure out. >> absolutely, larry. the senate, which is where this provision emanated from because the language, particularly this tax credit language was the senate language which was signed in to law after president kennedy died and the house agreed to pass it was the discussion of a number of senators -- really hundred senators for months and months. not once during that time did i hear a senate republican or democrat say they believe they the states should decide whether these states should decide whether individuals get the tax credit or not that. was not the original intent. and that were debated openly and publicly for months. >> russ, let's be frank about it. this bill was passed in the messiest way any major piece of legislation has ever made it through the body. first going thro

mark: he benefits particularly because this is an event that harry reid created to help his party.hey do it recently in iowa because i have a tradition, but this event will probably be poorly run, poorly populated in terms of turnout and it's possible other candidates won't even try to play their particularly if rand paul comes into the state. john: you remember the famous nevada caucuses back in 2008 -- one of the more corrupt caucuses. mark: let's call it problematic. john: corrupt, problematic -- you could pay up the unions to show up for you and on the republican side, you're going to have a lot of hispanic voters, so it makes for a more complicated game than it does on the democratic side. that puts rand paul in a decent position. mark: he will compete there vigorously. today, walt disney world, the happiest governor in florida rick scott, hosting some of the usual republican prospects for president, they all spoke at the economic growth summit and used the stage at the yacht and beach club convention to flex their fiscal muscles. >> we have to fix one of the most convoluted t

if harry reid hadn't like -- >> why won't they point the finger? are they afraid to point the finger at china afraid of retaliation? >> yes. because if the united states retaliates china has said any retaliation by the united states will be considered an act of war against china. so they are sort of pinning us back like this. and it's a problem. they do have one of the most effective cyber warfare units in the world. only maybe the russians can beat that. >> no we're good. we spy, too. >> okay. >> you know what's they have? our debt. that's what they have. >> they can't do anything about that. >> they play games with our debt they would screw themselves more than us. >> but here's the question. why are we always worried about other people? okay. so we have a good offense. we have a lot of information probably on the chinese, the russians whoever else is spying on us. why don't we build that defense? why are we so vulnerable to all these -- >> correia, china, who else. any comers can find the way in. >> breaking news chinese hackers are responsible

senator harry reid is blaming the chinese.a denies any involvement. >>> a big shakeup tonight at twitter. twitter ceo is stepping down. jack dorsey has been named interim ceo. dick castalla will stick aside july 1. the company's financial struggles are likely the reason. >> he has been really struggling against a lot of high expectations nor the company. the growth has not been as fast as facebook and other social networks and it was seen at a niche that was good as a business, but not growing fast enough. >> and another bomb shell from twitter. the 140 character cap on tweet going away for direct messages. soon you can send messages with 10,000 characters max. >>> the president of stanford university is stepping down. john hennesey as has led the university 15 years. his legacy will be creating the stanford challenge campaign. it raised a record $6.2 billion. he says it is time to hand over the reigns. possibly return to teaching. and he departs next summer. >>> a nobel prize win winner is out of a job tonight because of some

just speaks to -- to get mitch mcconnell and harry reid.f attendees. i was curious if that was the fullest, because you noticed there's only one republican on there, mitch mcconnell, which i found surprising because joe biden actually does have many deep friendships on the republican side. as i was watching, a very moving service. it was hard not to get choked up while we're watching the feed here. but you can see how many staff members are there as well. jay carney former press secretary to the white house but also former press secretary to joe biden, former journalist himself. dennis mcdonagh is there. sam myers, who's one of the travelling advance men. you can see him helping them as they were coming into the church. he's worked with them for many years and is very close to the biden family. how many people were there to show the outpouring of support for the bidens. >> and of course, we had that moment we just watched where as they're offering -- the congregates offer gestures of peace to each other. you have the biden family and the ob

this is interesting because president obama is fighting nancy pelosi and harry reid right now but there are republicans that don't like tpp. you and boehner are going to try to get out through. how many republicans do you think you can get for the vote? how many do you need from the ds? >> it would be nice if you had a -- at least a pretty good group of democrats that were going to join you. it doesn't look like that number is growing a lot. this is going to be the majority of republicans passing this. trade is important to america. i mean if we want to look for economic growth, we look at gdp in a negative sense in the last quarter. this is our opportunity to grow the economy and also when you look strategically around the world, if you want allyies to grow as well this is something that makes not just america stronger but the world stronger and it gives us a more level playing field. this will pass this month and it'll be passed mainly by republicans. >> you're confident you'll have the votes to pass it sometime this june? >> that's our job and yes, we will. >> well that'll be interes

>> reporter: well, juliette, the senate leader harry reid says the attack is the work of the chinese! and whoever pulled it off got a treasure-trove of data. the hackers stole social security numbers for not only current workers but up to a million former federal employees. they got personal information including addresses, birth dates, they got pay history. and the hackers swiped information on health and life insurance plans, as well. on top of that they also stole pension information. no one from the white house is blaming the chinese government. china denied any involvement. the theory is hackers to turn around and try to get their hands on some of the government's biggest secrets. u.s. intelligence officials say that all kinds of spying goes on all the time. but the chinese often have a different goal in hacking. besides national security, chinese government has been accused of hacks to help businesses there compete against businesses here. >>> hm. so we'll see what happens. >> yeah. still a lot of information. >> a lot. >> in somebody's wrong hands. >>> tracking dogs have pick u

after that, remarks from harry reid. then, majority leader mitch mcconnell. and then the supreme court targets for the case in king versus burwell. president obama reacted to the ruling, he was joined by the vice president in the white house rose garden. president obama: good morning, everybody. have a seat. five years ago, after nearly a century of talk, decades of trying, a year of bipartisan debate, we finally declared that in america, health care is not a privilege for a few but a right for all. over those five years, as we've worked to implement the affordable care act, there have been successes and setbacks. the setbacks, i remember clearly. [laughter] but as the dust has settled, there can be no doubt that this law is working. it has changed and in some cases saved american lives. it's set this country on a smarter, stronger course. and today, after more than 50 votes in congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law, after multiple challenges to this law before the supreme court,

minority leader in the house, nancy pelosi and minority lead nert senate harry reid are there, as wellaybe two dozen members of congress and several members of the president's cabinet. we learned a few moments ago from sunlen serfaty, who is there outside the church that chris martin the lead singer of coldplay will be performing a selection this morning. there are several musical selections several readings as this is is a formal christian mass burial. you see on the right side the bidens are arriving here as their car pulls up we will take just a break to listen and watch what's happening there. again, a tremendous loss for the vice president. not the first, unfortunately, for the vice president, back in 1972 december 18th when his first wife and daughter were killed in a crash while out christmas shopping. beau biden and hunter biden were both injured in that crash. and you may remember that it was in 1973 as the now-vice president was entering the senate he took the oath of office standing there next to beau biden there at his hospital bed, vowing not to leave his son's side. >> he

harry reid telling telling fox news, moving one or more something to think about. senator gramm disagrees saying that the idea of rewriting who we are as a country is difficult at best, but a confederate flag is a good place for consensus. lou: thank you john. >> on capitol hill, president trade agenda survived a key test. the republican control senate voted 60-37 to advance president's bid for so-called fast track authority to negotiate international trade deals, that means legislation will likely pass when a final vote is taken tomorrow, 13 democrats had to join with republicans to advance the bill, in what majority leader mitch mcconnell called a huge win. >> of all that we've been able to work on, on a bipartisan basis during obama years, this is probably the most significant accomplish am for the country. lou: 5 republicans voted against it. the united states has a long standing policy we do not negotiate with terrorists. but president obama is changing that. president obama is expected to announce tomorrow, that new rules that would make it easier for familie

that included the senate leader harry reid as well as last week the house minority leader nancy pelosiwho had voted against the measure as well. so obama had a very tough going in convincing enough democrats rather to go along with it. in the end he was successful, and this has to be noted as a significant achievement of his second term. however, it must be noted that this only provides him with authority to negotiate a treaty, and then send it for an up or down vote without any kind of amendments or any way of stalling it in the senate. that gives him up to--him or his successor up to six years. >> how does that impact the trans-pacific partnership deal? >> this would effect the trading relations with 11 pacific rim countries. that institutes about 40% of the total global trade and what is specific to the measure which were the strong points was simply that it would provide open markets in areas that the u.s. and previously been closed to and at the same time would provide intellectual property guarantees and investment protections for american investors. however, the labor unions, wh

. >> and harry reid telling republicans that the game is over and stop banging our heads against the wall trying to repeal it. >> i think lindsey graham has a point. this should be an issue for the 2016 republicans because they can make the case that congress hasn't done anything. boehner and mcconnell talk a great game and how they will repeal obamacare the action and they haven't done that. that is just a fact. republicans might not want to hear that but it is the truth. chief justice john roberts have done nothing to talk about obamacare. the last stop is to elect a republican president to work with a republican-led congress if they can hold on to the majorities. the president's legacy by the way is getting secure. he is a domestic president who can argue and pulled us back from a great depression and gave health care to millions of people it is not running perfectly but it has survived one vote in congress and two supreme court challenges. he has disaster after disaster whether it is russia putin iran deal, in 2016 hillary clinton will own this for better or worse. >> that is i t

the minority leader harry reid, he said that they knew back in 2011 they knew that these programs wereng to expire. familiar.t sounds it's not only about the patriot its --e, or this part of this is a bad mark on mitch mcconnell and his leadership. he promised he would get the leadership behind many issues, this being one of the biggest ones, and it is a black mark on him, and as clean -- as glenn greenwald says, if americans nsa could yes, the target surveillance, then of course everyone would be behind it. but it is a question of whether they could do that and leave the rest of us alone. the concern -- and senator paul, we should mention once again is a republican presidential contender -- his position is the net has been cast to wide, that americans who have no links to terror or terror suspects are having their privacy invaded by the government, which is antithetical to what because the duchenne says and what this country is supposed to be about. this debate, whether it is supposed to be a about surveillance measures getting past, is far from over. betty: far from over. with that,

however, harry reid says they could delay things for a week, and that is a look at our top stories thishour. scarlet: in focus today, greece, with the nation's creditors reaching an agreement with what might be a final, final offer. joining us from athens is a profession of economics at nyu a busted yesterday and, also an advisor to the bank of greece. -- a professor of economics at nyu stern. sir, you are joining us by phone. you are in athens. they are getting down to discussing some sort of reform plan. should make think i you aware that i am not advising the greek government, not right now. main point ofhe your question, i think the two sides are pretty far apart, that there are two sides, one proposed by the creditors, and they are far in terms of how soh taxes should be raised, it is not like we are close. i do not think we are. it looks like the euro/dollar relationship means we will see some kind of a deal. what you think happens if we do see some kind of resolution before friday in the currency market? cs: --sor economi alix: go ahead. >> i think the base case scenario is we ar

thing, we can complain about the confederate flag and can ban it and it makes us feel good, makes harry reidl good. it is something tangeible you cn get your hands on. you can't fix evil so you take this piece that you say will make you feel better. it will have zero impact on evil walking into a place and killing innocent people. >> that's it. i did a play in high school, it was red and yankee, we met on the border, talked and broke bread, would you ban that? >> no. i went to the high school we were the rebels. >> whoa. >> there's history there. >> you went there. >> yeah i did. >> yeah i'm rebel proud. >> no! oh, my god. >> who would know. but i don't know. call me a hippy, i think that people carry more significance than symbols. this flag is not a threat, there are actual people who are threats and a lot of those people are in task and we need to define who those people are in our presence that we need to worry about and not these flags. >> were you a cheerleader in high school? >> i was not. >> she didn't become a cheerleader because she was a >> rebel. >> oh! >> >> gavin, i thought the

apparently for harry reid it is quite difficult. h.r. 160 has a bipartisan -- has bipartisan and bicameral support and currently has 282 co-sponsors. in fact, 18 democrats in this body sent a letter to speaker john boehner and minority leader nancy pelosi calling for the timely passage of this bill. republican leadership in the house heard their requests and the calls from many other members of this body in moving this bill in a responsible way to put americans back to work and lower the cost of health care for all. the second bill contained in today's rule, h.r. 1190, repeals one of the most poorly thought out ideas ever to come out of congress and that's really quite impressive considering the many ideas that have originated in the pelosi-led house of representatives. the independent payment advisory board is an unelected unaccountable board dedicated to set up within the affordable care act for the sole purpose to cut medicare payments to providers if it medicare targets within the bill are not met. let's be very clear about this
