he also helped start the huffington post before it turned hard left. was known for the long-time work on the drudge report. matt drudge has this state in the part at the top of that popular site.

mike sacks is correspondent for "the huffington post" and a graduate of georgetown law. mike, thanks for getting up early. i appreciate it. >> oh, no problem. thanks for having me. >> mike, you were inside the room. the reports we're hearing is that the solicitor general did not have a great day, that he didn't answer the questions well. there were some reports of stumbling. other reports said that was overstated. what did you hear in terms of the argument laid out by the solicitor general on behalf of the president's health care law? >> yeah, he started off pretty wobbly. he started off coughing and having to repeat a couple lines. and he just seemed as though he wasn't on his game. usually, solicitor general verrilli is very fluid and calm and that didn't seem to be the case sterday. he was trying and he did get back on track, but once he was back on track, the conservative justices were really committed to trying to knock him right back off his game. >> so, was there more to the substance, though, that you would critique, or was it just a performance question? because

you can read the entire op-ed at huffington post.com. and you're listening to "washington today" on c-span radio. >>> we want to focus on the issue of whether or not you think congress can in fact work together. we heard that just a moment ago from senator paul ryan -- or senator ron wyden, his work with paul ryan. our listener feedback line is 202-626-7962. it's an issue we talked about this morning with bill galston. he is the co-founder of no labels on what he says are some of the structural changes he says are needed to fix the u.s. senate. here is more from his program. >> in senate testimony last week the question arose of why we were pushing so hard on these rules changes. why couldn't we simply appeal to members of congress to do the right thing. a senior senator said that to me. and it was very sincere and heartfelt. and i smiled and said, well, i wished things worked that way, but i don't think they do. and neither did the father of our constitution, james madison, who talked at length in the federalist papers about the necessi

we also have the co-founder of the "huffington post" arianna huffington.wing us the first huff post video coming up this block. i look forward to watching that. we'll play it. arianna, great to have you onboard. let's get right to what happened last night. we talked last hour. this was all about mitt romney, first, rick santorum, second. newt gingrich hanging in there. >> mitt romney would've loved to have won those two last night, it would have put him on the strong path to the nomination. now he's got one or two guys who are going to stay in this for the foreseeable future, probably all the way to the convention, and he has to find a new way to win illinois is the big faceoff. if he can win illinois, he's back on track. if he loses it to santorum, he is in the biggest crisis he's faced so far. >> when you look at the results last night, mike barnicle, how would you characterize what happened? >> my instinct would be he's still the front-runner. he's got to behave more like a front-runner. he's got to drive his story more. he's got to -- he's got to win i

in a "huffington post" article today, they compare limbaugh and the coach brothers, and he writes: a one at that by the way. how limbaugh and others get their talking points is the focus of greenwald's upcoming documentary, koch brothers exposed. welcome inside the war room. >> great to be with you. >> it's greet have you here. today in the "huffington post" you wrote he meaning rush limbaugh, has to get his ideas from somewhere. he can't feed the right-wing echo chamber: can you explain how that works? >> yes, i will. we have spent the year with our koch brothers exposed investigation. it's literally just one-year anniversary coming up now, and as much as i disagree with them on all of the fundamental issues, where they are very very smart is how they fund. and there's a wonderful quote about the koches that was in the original article by jane maher, and david koch said i understand that politicians are actors -- no offense jennifer -- they are actors that read from a script, and we want to write that script. and the way they fund the script is by funding think tanks, and grassroots

host: "the huffington post" tells a lot of personal stories. we want to hear this morning about your economic situation. we have divided the phone lines. the executive editor wrote last week that there are about 17 million americans living in conditions that most people would describe as desperately poor. pointing to the census report, in one of the pieces that you wrote, extreme poverty rose to 6.7% in 2010. what does that mean, extreme poverty? guest: well, that particular statistic refers to the number of people who are living at half of their particular poverty structure. the census bureau of signs a certain poverty threshold depending on a variety of statistics. roughly speaking, the poverty threshold for a family of four with a couple of the. kids is about $22,000. this statistic refers to the percentage of people living at half of that amount. it is the highest measure since they began tracking that statistic in 1975. we are talking about roughly 70 million people to 20 million people that are living on less than a dollar a day. that is

the fact is i follow huffington post. i'm embarrassed for them. a better blog than that.they allow this idiot have it on the page, not -- i'll call it what it is. hate speech, bigoted. i'm a protestant. i have differences with catholics but to say these things. do you think that is funny? >> greg: he doesn't say it's funny. he calls it satire. >> bob: i want to ask eric i don't know of liberal press. you said the liberal press supports it. >> eric: i watched it today. they did a piece, whole segment. bias to the left saying you know, freedom of speech. >> bob: i'm here dumping on them saying -- >> eric: listen, they wouldn't answer the phone and i e-mailed them. want to give us your side of the story i know you made it retractable -- whatever, an apology. >> greg: fake apology. >> eric: i said here is an opportunity. we'll talk about it on "the five." give us your side of the story. all i got is no thanks. >> greg: he shouldn't apologize. stand by what you write. if it's trite and terrible you live with it. i admire him for not apologizing but an idiot not to see what an

but, cnn and huffington post ran it as if it was a real story, because they -- i don't know. >> greg: assumes that rich people are evil. they said that the guy left a $1.33 tip for $133 bill. they doctored a reveet, put it up on the blog. cnn, other outlets picked it up. because rich people are evil. remember? that is what we have learned. >> dana: the quote on cnn, who did it? was at it message about the 1% or the message about the conversation about the 1%? rivetting television nonetheless. >> kimberly: dramatic read. >> dana: thank you. the interest thing, the true food kitchen in newport beach, california, where this happened, they called and said this isn't true. but what i think is interesting is that they don't have evidence to point to, so they have to make it up. >> kimberly: this should be thrown out. they don't have anything to back it up. there are no receipts to match this whatsoever. long at the relishing glee they have jumped on it. >> dana: you know a lot of conservatives, bob. they are a big tipper. >> bob: they are. you are a big tipper. eric is. >> dana: hannity is

have you ever seen their break room at the huffington post headquarters? >> no. >> it is terrible. >> foozball machines everywhere? >> they have no self-control and discipline. >> really? >> to them everything is a toilet. >> well, when you don't get paid -- >> exactly. launching dirty protests right there in the microwave. >> terry, you said you don't think anybody is cool with the government spying on people. wrong, greg is. >> he is right. >> you know what, i caught a man too, and we are not. >> in fact, you brought up the fact that "21 jump street" is about marks. i believe on the tv show they had specific intelligence that caused them to infiltrate the schools, and that is not what is going on here. >> i disagree. i think the police would not infiltrate something unless they had prior information. and remember we for greet -- forget there is a large part of society that like to be watched. >> all i remember is johnny depp infiltrated a lot of co-eds on that show. >> there is a large section of the population that wants to be watched. are you suggestin

now let's bring in mike sacks coveringing the hearing for the "huffington post."ou were there, was it as bad as is sounds? >> yeah, to me it looked like a bloodbath for the federal government, 5-4, across the board. the five republican-i pointed justices just hammering away this morning. it was something to behold. i don't think anyone in the room was expecting the court to reach the question of striking down all of the affordable care act in the mandate goes, and i don't think anyone was taking serious the argument that the medicaid expansion in the affordable act coerced the state. no court below, even those who struck down the mandate bought that argument. but the justices today decided with it today on the argument put further. >> if they're that deep in questioning the law, the law is in tremendous republic. i think the whole country is underestimate what political hacks the conservatives justices are. what do we need to vote against--am remember scalia goes duck hunting with cheney. you think guys who are friends with the koch brothers are going to be consis

he launched a huffington post website and editor of the drudge report and publisher of several otherservative sites and you may be familiar with a couple of the famous stories, the anthony weiner naked photo scandal the married congressman was expecting a baby at the time add meted to various affairs and resigned his post in congress. in 2011 andrew breitbart was under junior criticism for posting an incomplete video of a speech by agricultural department employee who is black, and appears to say she discriminated against a white farmer. she was forced to resign. but, missing from the clip was the rest of the speech. which was meant as a lesson in racial healing, not racial separation. somebody found the full version of the speech and posted it online and the department later offered her job back. and now to the look back on his life. >>adam: the coroner is saying a cardiac event suggesting it was a heart attack, so far, preliminary, that killed andrew breitbart and there will be an autopsy tomorrow here if los angeles that will determine the cause but that is what they think. and th
