president, with senator herb kohl, my colleague on the judiciary committee. i remember in my first few months there that senator kohl spoke so rarely that when i first heard him speak at an event on the manufacturing extension partnership, one of his passions and mine, i was struck by the power and reach of his voice. it's because he uses it so sparingly. but his example speaks even louder. he never sought the spotlight here but worked tirelessly to make a difference fighting for the little guy on antitrust issues in the judiciary committee. he believes, as do i, that if an american entrepreneur has a great idea, we should help protect that idea by preventing trade secret theft and other intellectual property threats. we also share a deep commitment to the idea that higher education should be more accessible and affordable to every student who wants to pursue it. and i'm honored to have the opportunity to take up from senator kohl's work on these and other important issues. outside this chamber, senator kohl has just a strong a voice and broad an impact with

kohl's is also struggling. for me those aren't necessarily fourth quarter plays though it might screen differently on a longer term basis. >> neither of you chose any technology companies or any toy companies. eric, are they just not resonating this season, or what's going on? >> you know, when you look at it, i think this has been a year where power has really taken back share. there's no really must-have items, and you can look at things like tvs that have gotten cheaper and cheaper. not having as much impact and the toy business is having real significant problems given the fact that it's up against technology and frankly kids don't find toys as exciting anymore as -- as -- >> that is so depressing, so depressing. >> is that what's happening at your house? >> absolutely. they want stupid stuff. i don't mean stupid, things they are never going to get like an ipad. >> or a pony. >> or an iphone, it's like in your dreams. you're going to get a ken doll and that kind of thing. >> thank you both for joining us to

unsettling trends that you know maybe give kohl's for a fight or flight. response either or certainly start looking at hedging your bets ok so what do you guys look at that you think seems really alarmed because if you look at the day to day new day we got g.d.p. revisions out today and g.d.p. looks little a. better by the way the government calculates that it's three point one percent annualized for last quarter and consumers they look like they're going to spend like they did last year for christmas so what do you look at that picture that has you concerned what's most alarming to me is that it's theater the u.s. is becoming theater and the fiscal cliff discussion as you point out in the beginning is is a large statical performance belongs on broadway not here in washington it it's utterly irrelevant and so increasingly in the united states and the governments both national and local citizenry become obsessed with each other and with discussions about things about shaving one hundred billion dollars when we're when we're facing trillion dollar deficits.

kohl's is one of many offering deep discounts and stores are trying to get rid of their unsold inn haven't torii and this is also a big day to use cards. >> those are likely last minute gifts so definitely in the next few days, most of our customers will be spending their gift cards in the store. >> and they end up spending more than is on the gift card? >> yes, definitely more. >> they tracked holiday sales and it shows the sales the two weeks before christmas was higher and it was .7% compared to last year. today will be a big day for return. back out here live i saw a lot of by one get 1/2 off. wrapping live from santa clara janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 morning news. >>> now that all the gifts are out from that christmas tree, people are trying to figure out what to do with the ones that are not quite for them. what some people are doing as they are headed pack. tara let's see if it is a affecting your commute. >>> it's very slippery out there and there is one lane blocked at the moment so definitely be careful if you live near cast tore valley. now we will head out to 880 near the
