and mrs. brown, who are only sixty. that could raise the number to sixty-five, and mr. and mrs. jackson, fifty-five, may not be eligible until they're sixty-six or older. but others say it would shift the costs to health care providers and private insurers. >> so as the private number pays more, the government saves money. but total costs rise. >> reporter: congresss could also change the means test, meaning seniors who earn more must pay more mrs. graham, for example, with income of less than 85,000 a year will pay a premium of 85 a month. her neighbors earning more than $85,000 a year, already pay up to $250 more a month in premiums. while only 5% pay higher in premiums, congress could raise the premiums or the co-pays on all seniors. but many are on a tight budget, the median income $22,000 a year. that is why many oppose the changes. >> we want to see the numbers lowered, not simply see the seniors pay more for health care. >> reporter: since nearly every senior will depend on medicare, any decision on eligibility of premiums and co-pays could affect millions. tom costello,

. >> next question goes to mr. brown. depending on what happens on election day, it is entirely possible the numbers will be set up in such a way in january that both houses are set up by the republican party. it seems to me in the repeal of obamacare. it is further escalating costs and hospitals and physicians. it is a problem of fraud, but hard to catch and investigate. what do we do about the continuing health-care cost problem. would you support a replacement of fee-for-service to help try to reduce the rising costs? >> health care is something that affects every person in every business in massachusetts. i was proud to work on our health care bill that actually insures 98% of our people. we did it without raising taxes and we did it without the one- size-fits-all. the federal bill, which my opponent supports and i do not, raises taxes. the folks that have the so- called cadillac tax plans, the teachers, they will be taxed tens of thousands of dollars. i believe everybody should have health care. that is why i support

i'll see if mr brown used to be trusted there are reasons for caution so home on how many times have they said about before and have you noticed whenever they have something positive to say about the prospects of the european economy it's always in the future tense whenever they want to deliver the bad news it's always in the present very much so. basically i just don't think it's going to work and that's that's all i'm basically trying to say and we've really been hearing from the european commission for years now let's listen to this. beyond this year. for a temporary softening of growth the next year to one and half person. to be followed by pick up. twenty twelve or their own two person group so what i mean basically i want to point point out that was exactly two years ago november twenty ten and these austerity measures are obviously not working the creditors are imposing all of this on the europe's the most indebted nations and it's bad as it is and it's only going to get worse now first of all they are of course cutting their wages they're increasing taxes if they're cutting p

"the allegations made by mr. brown similarly are untrue." they gone on, "despite some visual similarities, the craftsman axess locking wrench operates in a different way." what dot you say to sears, when they say this is not the same wrench? >> ah, they're lying. that's what i say. they're lying. >> reporter: dan argues, small town american inventors rarely have the means to fight back. it can cost up to $50,000 just to get that original patent. don sweeney on the assembly line, one of the few workers left, watching those 30 coworkers leave. >> all the jobs are gone. that's the way it is. >> it just tears me apart. what more can we do? if we don't stop this, we'll have no jobs left. >> reporter: our team did go out and buy both wrenches today, both the same price. the before and the new one here and while that american inventor argues the tools have the same mechanism, whether it's a rip-off or not is up to the courts to decide now. that inventor arguing american jobs are in the balance and sears telling us tonight, we have 264,000 workers,

. >> mr. brown. >> thousands of people in syria are being killed and the suffering is immense. authorities in the country say the british assistance has been slow and the priority ought to be supporting the civil administration councils so that basic water and sewage services can be connected. what more can the prime minister do to discuss with president obama to really bring about a solution to this crisis? >> deputy prime minister? >> i know the prime minister who is of course in the region right now discusses this on an ongoing basis with the president of the united states and will continue to do so. we are the second largest bilateral donor in syria. of course the circumstances on the ground are incredibly difficult in the delivery of aid and assistance but we need to make every effort we can to accelerate had a, get it to the right people in a timely manner and in the right place and any suggestions he wishes to make to the department for international development and others about how we should do that. >> lillian greenwood. >> mr. speaker, official documents show the heal

. >> mr. brown, you've heard all the testimony today about what people think should happen to you.do you want to have happen? >> i understand i resists law enforcement. and me being back in that will room for two weeks, that really got to me. i know i tested like positive for marijuana but that's something i did like back in july. and i thought i was going to be clean by the time i came to court. >> i know some people might say using a little bit of marijuana isn't like shooting somebody but at the same time, do you understand the significance of that one use of marijuana what it had on your family and your life and frankly, on the underlying charges that you already had pending against you? >> well, i take full responsibilities for my actions and i just feel like i let them down, you know? like miss sarah and bob and my mom. i just want to like go home and take care of my responsibilities. >> roderick, do you rememberer judge bonaventure ra asking you about taking a drug test. >> yes, ma'am. >> do you say you probably should be clean, something like that. >> i probably should. >>

mr. brown's famous truck behind them. i can't quite tell. kelly ayotte and susan collins are from sort of neighboring state. maybe that makes sense. this guy is not from a neighboring state. >> this man is the one i want most in the united states senate working side by side with me. >> scott brown is the one i want most in the united states senate. john mccain, kelly ayotte, susan collins are the three republicans. they are pretty much the only three republicans that scott deemed not too toxic to bring to massachusetts during his campaign. now that a senate seat might open in massachusetts, guess who is doing all of the dirty work to make sure that massachusetts senate seat opens up? i know it seems nuts. i if ul will i admit that it seems nuts. it makes a heck of a lot more sense than what john mccain is saying right now. it is the only thing that makes cents given the really, really, really incessantly hollow nature of all of these attacks against saw san rice. >>> earlier this afternoon, the great and good andrea mitchell did some digging

and mrs. brown living on any street usa both turn 65 next year. y to be affected and still can get medicare coverage. but if we walk next door, mr. and mrs. gonzalez could see a change. they are 60 years old and under current proposals, they would wait to 65 plus several months on top of that. farther down the street, the changes could have a longer coverage gap to fill. they are a55 and could wait untl 66 or 67 or older. it could save money, but it just shifts costs to private insurance or employers in a less efficient way. >> we want to see improvements that actually lower health care costs, not simply change them, make seniors pay more for health care. >> now, one proposal could make seniors pay more simply if you make more, pay more. or what's called the means test. back to any street usa and mrs. graham. she makes less than $85,000. her monthly medicare premium is $115. her wealthier neighbors already pay up to $254 more per honesty because they make more than $58,000 a year. new changes could make them pay even more. since nearly every senior

mr. browne likes cases that are high visibility. >> reporter: the two attorneys were ready to present theiridence. but john henry browne had a strong card to play, a witness who claims she saw mackenzie strangled on videotape by someone else. >> have to watch somebody be tortured like they did to her. and kill her and laughed about it. >> reporter: the outcome was a courtroom drama that no one expected. >> so what's going on? >> this is what i love about "48 hours" case when it ends with, it ends with a drama that no one expect preponderance of the evidence "48 hours" has been working in this case for over two years. >> more than two years. and it's an extraordinary story. this twist that you saw at the end of this piece brings some high drama into this case. >> what happens when a world renowned attorney like john henry browne who is larger-than-life comes to a town like wenatchee, washington? >> he literally is larger-than-life. he's 6'6". he has a shock of hair. he looks like a rock star. with the investigators they weren't inat the my dated but the prosecutors who browne had defeated be

. >> if you keep your profile low enough, you can just sort of move through life and apparently mr. browneen very successful at that. >> reporter: brown seems to bear a remarkable resemblance to the not-so-average actor, sean penn. in fact, investigators say tips have led them to penn's movie body-double twice. but this morning, the fbi says it now has a promising new lead, saying it's possible brown, a former mormon missionary, could be hiding in utah. then again, they say, jason brown could be anywhere. for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. >> fascinating. >> sure is. >>> time, now, for the weather and sam champion. and that series of storms pounding the west coast, sam. >> three back-to-back storms, started on wednesday. by the time we get to sunday, some places will have had 20 inches of rain. early this morning, an inch of rain per hour in the bay area, 50-mile-per-hour winds. that's the kind of thing that happens each time one of these lows move through. look at what will happen in the next, well -- all the way through sunday. eight to ten inches of rain

. >> mr. brown present their cases to the judge and jury. gary reisen had strong dna evidence. john henry brown had a strong card to play a witness who claims she saw mackenzie strangled on videotape by somebody else. >> to watch somebody be tortured like they did to her and kill her and laugh about it never goes away. >> reporter: the outcome was a courtroom drama that no one expected. >> so what's going on? >> this is what i love about a "48 hours" case, it ends with a draum nah no one expected. working on this case for over two years. >> more than two years. it's an extraordinary story. this twist you saw at the end of this piece brings high drama into this case. what happens when a world renowned attorney like john henry brown comes to a town like wenatchee, washington. >> he literally is larger than life 6'6" shock of hair looks like a rock star. i think the investigators weren't intimidated but the prosecutor in this case who brown defeated before i think was quite nervous about going up again

mr. browns concession speech all of that seemed to be a thing of the past.ot no business in politics unless you respect the judgment of people. if you run for office you have to be able to take it either way, wing or losing. i accept the decision of the voters and i already offered my sincerest congratulations to senator elect warren so congratulations. [booing] >> no, she has received a high honor of holding the people's seat. and may she bring that senate office -- may she bring that senate office great credit just as i set out to do nearly three years ago. megyn: good for him. don't you like to see that when politicians do that? senator brown also behind he may run for office again, saying, quote, defeat is only temporary, and their thoughts that if senator kerry of massachusetts gets elevated to a position in barack obama's cabinet, scott brown may yet be the senator from massachusetts if he manages to win that seat. we'll continue to follow that. one of the biggest controversies to hit the obama administration may have made little impact if any. the fox

he had an idiot running the fema who's still popping off, mr. brown.hink fema is absolutely an agency on the ground here doing wonderful things. the end of the day the one entity of the federal government that works better than anybody else is the military, and sooner or later we're going to have to put a general in the charge as we did katrina, let them get all the stuff done. they have the equipment, the resources, the manpower, and we've got a big problem ahead. and three or four days from now this is going to continue to be a burden for a lot of people's lives, and you're going to need to respond. [inaudible conversations] >> fema, this fema under obama has been getting great marks all the way around, but they learned a lot from katrina, you know? jon: as the father of an army second lieutenant, i have to agree, the u.s. military does its work very well. so let's take a look at the scorecards. we've been doing this for, what, eight, nine, ten weeks now, and we have -- this is bob beckel's scorecard. he gives governor romney the win two weeks, presi

. >> brown: mr. ellison, i mean, i think everybody talks about real changes here after the election. but do you see any changes in the rhetoric or in the actual proposals that suggest that we have moved somewhat from the election? >> well, you know, the things that my friend, dr. price is talking are things that were up for debate during the election. they were rejected. i think it's time to say we need a balanced approach. we've already cut $1.5 trillion already. now we need revenue enhancement. that could be rates and closing loopholes to do both. i must disagree that the proposals out there about medicaid and medicare are good. they're actually not very good. the american people weighed in on them as both candidates in the election offered their views. i think the american people found the president's proposals much stronger and didn't want to voucherrize or block-grant medicare and medicaid. >> it's important to appreciate that whatever mandate the president and the democratic party believe they

president, i ask unanimous consent that senators baucus, coons, mr. brown of ohio, lieberman, stabenow, cantwell, schumer, durbin, mr. johnson of south dakota, bennet, blumenthal, whitehouse, and collins be add as cosponsors to my amendment number 2985. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. udall:man, i yield the floor. -- mr. president, i yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: the presiding officer: without objection, senator from michigan is recognized. mr. levin: i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll on the amendment. vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: are there any other senators in the chamber who desire to vote or to change their vote? if not, the yeas are 62, the nays are 37. the amendment is agreed to. a senator: i move to reconsider. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. the senator from michigan is recognized. mr. levin: mr.

he said nasty things about mr. brown. he is a wonderful man. and he is great for ohio. am also a veteran. i support all of the things that the president and the democratic party has done for ohio. i have seen many elections. i am 81 years old. i support all of the women's rights groups. and with the president is doing for our country. now my daughter is from indiana. she is also a strong supporter of the president. we all work with the campaign. i have a brother in new jersey who is going through the terrible things that happened there. also in support of the president. host: have you done anything as far as the brown campaign in the state? caller: i am a little old for knocking on the doors but i worked and one of the offices here for the democratic party. i have been sick for the last three weeks, but i have knocked on doors. i voted on the second. i have donated a small amount of money. i just bought something yesterday. i went out for the first time to the office to -- do something. host: that is milwaukee, wisconsin. next up, sharon. good morning. caller: good morn

. >> now we turn to cbs 5 political insider phil matier who is with former mayor willie brown. >> mr. mayor, you're no stranger to elections. what's the it like the day after a big emotional win? >> you have a problem when now it's all over the last time you will be on the stage, et cetera, and now how difficult it was to win it this time. you know how the doubters were out there. you know how much confidence you already had all -- you didn't have. and you just become, you know, a different guy. >> how long does it last? he has four years to go. >> i know. he will find his legs this morning, though. he will be back on his job. he will be confronting the guy who literally has more color than he has, john boehner. >> it is something, you have this big pressure, this great moment, but also the doubts and stuff going in, the win, of the loss, the fact that you can be out the door. someone says you won again. we have the "fiscal cliff" hanging over you, by the way. so get ready. you have 33 seconds. what's your play? you're going to go to be back in the corner. >> he hasn't thought about t

. >> brown: mr. van roekel, i want to pick up on the discussion we were just listening to before. where are we now? what mandate, if any, did the president get? what should be his stance? where is there room for negotiation going forward? >> well, we didn't talk about negotiations at this point. it was the first of three meetings as you mentioned. tomorrow it is with business and friday with members of congress. what we also talked about is the impact of changes in medicaid. you know, if the government doesn't cut medicaid, however shifts the cost to state governments, it's going to have a real impact. medicaid is now the number one he can spence for state budge hes. it surfaced k-is education. prisons is the third big areas. they won't cut that. we know it will have a devastating impact on education. medicaid also provides one third of america's children with the only health care they have. so there are many people to think about. i always think that the 535 people in congress who are going to make this decision, it's not really about them. it's about 360 million americans that n

mr. nicholson is always court side and the lakers fire mike brown and with the night over the golden stateriors. home against denver. and the college hoops in the bay area, the all-american and at duke and rex walters are at kansas and their players here we go. 35-33. they play this at the oakland coliseum and pretty difficult. if there were some of these seats, to say the least 27 points off the bench stanford is supposed to be pretty good. college hoops with readers and baltimore on sunday there are going to do without it. mcfadden. and he has a severely injured ankle he will not play but high one jones a local kid from antioch is expected to get a lot of theories. the forty-niners finer second game in 23 days and are fed favorites versus the rams. and they're catching iran with our fat favorites. they're catching- the rams. with they lost three in a row and it as a rematch, just a quirk in the schedule the to combine a by week with a thursday night game and they are going to be well rested. >> the team is playing very good football. i think there is an improvement in the team. it seems

. >> brown: in turn, mr. obama accused his opponent of trying to scare voters over their economic futures. he pointed to a romney ad running in ohio that charges jeep is shipping jobs to china. >> you've got folks who work at the jeep plant who've been calling their employers worried, asking, "is it true? are our jobs being shipped to china?" and the reason they've been making these calls is that governor romney's been running an ad that says so. except it's not true. >> brown: chrysler has said it has no plans to move the jobs. the romney campaign insists it's standing by its claim. there promised to be much more battling over economic policy, with the race in a dead heat and going down to the wire. we look now at the jobs picture with two economists with ties to the presidential candidates: john taylor of stanford university and the hoover institution. he advises the romney campaign on economic issues. and austan goolsbee of the university of chicago's booth school of busins. he served as president obama's

phil matier and willie brown join us. mr., you have had your share of photo ops over the years. what happens when the cameras go away and what do you think they had to say to one another? [ laughter ] >> it certainly wasn't pleasant. and it is not publishable and would you probably only hear it at the book of mormon. [ laughter ] >> come on. you got to be sitting there, you're in the white house, one guy won, the other guy, you know, says nice try and you had to put the slam in there, didn't you? you had to. >> i hope they each had a taster. [ laughter ] >> but do politicians ever let their guard down when it's all over or is it always on your guard at meetings like this? >> at meetings like this for pr purposes yes because you think the other guy might bewaring a wire. but you really tell him how dumb you think he was and why did he do that and your mother was offended not you. >> the comeback to that would be, well, you weren't so bright either. >> no, you deserved it. if you had been telling the truth. >> are you serious?

. >> brown: let me ask mr. lustgarten briefly here at the end.re are other companies that were involved from the beginning nothing today affects them, right? where does that stand? >> no, nothing that's happened today has changed that interaction the courts have expressed an opinion so far that b.p. is the party that should be held primarily responsible for what happened in the gulf. there are lawsuits against those other companies and disputes between them. they're going to take a long time to iron themselves out in the courts but i think today's settlement, combined with the previous opinions expressed by the courts in louisiana make it pretty clear that b.p. is the primary party of responsibility. >> brown: abrahm lustgarten, john young, thank you both. >> thank you very much, have a good evening. >> suarez: find an updated timeline with all of our reporting starting in april 2010. you can still use our widget to calculate how much oil spilled into the gulf. >> suarez: now, we turn to a story about the power of sleep and what it may do for you

brown. barack obama has been reelected president of the united states. mr. obama won a second term in office defeating mitt romney following an often nasty and costly election. democrats have retained control of the senate, republicans continue to control the house. president obama won a decisive victory over mitt romney racking up wins in at least 7 of 9 battleground states. the president won in wisconsin and iowa's six electoral votes, a state that launched his first campaign and the key western state of nevada. but it was ohio that pushed the president over the 270 electoral votes needed to win. it was a commanding win for the president in the electoral college, but the popular vote was neck and neck. in his victory speech, mr. obama promised better days ahead. >> while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the united states of america, the best is yet to come. >> the president watched the returns in his hometown of chicago. bigad shaban is ther

mr. miller, and the gentlewoman from florida, ms. brown, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from florida. mr. miller: i yield myself such time as i i might consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognize. mr. miller: the legislation before us does in fact designate the veterans affairs building in carrollton georgia as the trinka davis veterans village. trinka was a businessperson who desired that her estate be used to benefit veterans and their families. following her death, the trinka davis estate contacted the v.a. popt in the -- hospital in the area and determined there was a need to better serve the vet veterans in northwest georgia. as such, the foundation worked with local v.a. leaders to plan, design and construct a clinic and presented the $17 million gift in kind to the v.a. the 73,883 square feet clinic, which opened to veterans in september, provides primary, home-based and mental health care and a number of specialty services including physical and occupational therapy. it encompasses a 42-bed community living cente

mr. boehner an others today after the election? >> i do. >> brown: you do. >> i really do. now at the end of the day, you know, ben and i serve in the senate and i have spent a year crafting a plan that goes into every detail of how i would propose to fix medicare, social security, medicaid, highway trusts, all of those things. but at the end of the day the only two people that will make this happen before year end, even though ben and i may weigh in at some point and i know we will and i know we are right now behind the scene but the only two people that can make this happen and have a result by year end are the president and speaker boehner. and i think speaker boehner did today, and he has over the course of the last several days indicate that he's open to real revenues, not just that from economic growth but real revenues that are scoreable as long as we have the kinds of entitlement reforms and other spending reductions to accompany that. so i'm hopeful. i do think it is incumbent upon the president now to lay out a plan that does that. it's time for him to get out in
