kay, now mrs. harris. when i was in school, they did something, and it dawned op me they don't do it anymore. when i was in elementary school, they had the library patrol. i had a button, and i was on patrol. talk about other programs. >> one of the programs i love is drop everything and read where for one period every day or several days a week, the whom school just reads. everybody just -- the teachers including is a great one. the schools in washington, very successful about turning around inner city kids, and the kids in that school have to carry a book at all times. it's neat. funny you mention that. i did a reading at my home town, and my 2nd grade teacher was there. she's like 92 years old. i was signing books, and she said, james, your handwriting is still atrocious.

now mr harris queeny why would the prime minister ignore his own foreign ministry as travel warnings then and go to libya it's a volatile area why was this visit so important for him. well firstly i don't think david cameron is ignoring the foreign office advice david cameron's visit to libya is of course under very different circumstances to most british citizens that may be in libya or maybe visiting libya he went there with very high security and rightly so and so he's of course in doing so acknowledging the curacy wrist but also acknowledging the importance of showing british support for democracy in libya and showing that britain remains steadfast in its commitment to the libyan democracy but also acknowledging that democracy in its infancy is a very difficult process and it's it's a process that takes a long time to get to the final destination we last heard the prime minister pledging support for libya fifteen months ago during his previous visit the not all that much has changed for the better and many things have gotten worse so what's the difference this time. i think i com

but mr. harryd ask his vulnerable democrats to take a vote on an assault weapon's ban if they believe it won't pass the house. >> i know tomorrow we'll be taking up my resolution in support of gun violence prevention that includes taking up the assault weapons bans. so i think that the white house is ready, the senate is ready to act. they are going to i think start with what you may consider to be the low-hanging fruits the background checks, and limit on high capacity magazines and then take a look at senator feinstein's bill. but i think the senate will take this up in regular order, and this will only be successful if as the president has said the american people speak out and speak up. this is the slaughter of innocents. is our role as parents. they didn't think we could change drunk driving laws, but mothers against drunk drivers did. >> jennifer: and i think this is another reason this was so powerful. one of the other things christine you mentioned that the poet is the first openly gay poet

the white house has told fox news sources that mr. harrys well as nancy pelosi on board with the president, so the key question tonight is the democrats who talk about things in the senate, if we hear anything from the speakers about the deal that is now emerging in the senate. reporter: we have yet to hear from the speaker's office. but one of the final hangups is getting all the democrats on board with us. mitch mcconnell knows where speaker john boehner is on this issue. they remained in contact throughout these negotiations birdseed can imagine that speaker boehner will come out as possibly as early as tonight with a statement of support. he has yet to get any information on. adam: apparently a spokesperson for the speaker saying that this is all joe biden and mitch mcconnell. no context as whether that's a compliment or insult, but potentially the deal which you have been expressing all day long. you are the one who will wrote just before 9:00 p.m. that a gop aide said that this was all done. just to wrap up with you before before we s

mr. harris that breaks the $60 billion down for sandy relief into understandable numbers. our budget deficits, over $16 trillion at this current time. it should be broken down into dollars. $1 trillion is 1,000 billion. guest: the bottom line is there is a big problem. she is making these numbers understandable. many years back, a senator said something about the idea about $1.2 and $1.3 and they were talking about billions. the numbers get so vague. this is the real number and these are real big problems. as big as these numbers are, it t small changes now that changes the trajectory. i think that is why the current elected officials have an obligation to deal with these issues. they should be focusing on the agenda. that makes things easier for growing. host: a call from michigan. good morning. caller: he is familiar with my territory. you are talking about pension cuts and cuts in wages. tell the viewers what severance package you received from the state of michigan when you left the governorship. i and the stand it exceeds $400,000 a year. would you be willing to take

mr. president, you and harry reid go forward. we've passed three budgets, we've done one every year. it's time to show your hand and tell us you want to do. the frustration i have with you and mohammed is you talk about how we have this gridlock and the republicans aren't being reasonable. but isn't it time for the democrats to say what they want to cut? >> mohammed, let me ask you, as you look at evaluating people's credit worthiness, the absence of a budget, does that come into a an equation when looking at the united states credit worthiness and its investment climate? >> yes, and for many reasons. first an annual budget is the most basic element of economic governance. a family knows that, your annual budget is really important. if you have a country, as maya said the most powerful country in the world who can't even do that, it points to dysfunction. second, the more we focus on the fiscal issue, the more we get obsessed, the more we forget other things that need to happen to grow this economy. remember, med yum term sustainability is a fraction. the numerator is debt and defici

mr. boehner directed towards harry reid so there's clearly some enmity there, so there are a lot of things to worry about but the overall market should do better and i'm most focused in on the fact, what do you do with money? i have to take money and invest it 37. >> you have to put it somewhere. >> my line is on bonds, which is where the bubble's been putting money, i think buying buying u.s. bonds is walking into a steamroller to pick up a dime. >> where are the winning strategies? >> i'll give you two answers. one i'll give a slight plug you guys had on the program a while ago an organization called portfolios with purpose, is a contest they created where you pay a fee to enter, and you have the right to name a favorite charity to receive the winnings if you win. so you had to pick five stocks and so i'll give you four of the five i picked, because one is we're in the process of buying it and my fidelity is to my investments first so croc, chymera, quality corp., tetragon, financial services company and the last one is a mystery stock, when it double this is year, then we'll give you th

senator harry reid reportedly warned mr. obama is refusal to negotiate on the debt limit and the sequester could be a strategic blunder. nancy pelosi making it clear that the democratic priorities called for even higher tax hikes. >> i don't think that democrats are saying that we aren't havi spending cuts. we have agreed to over a trillion dollars in cuts in the budget control act. so we all know how we proceed has to be in three parts. revenue and growth to bring money into the treasury in cuts in establishing our priorities in a way that does not harm her future. >> our congressman joins us tonight to discuss the battles over the debt and gun control and immigration and whether the republicans have the guts and will to fight this president on those issues. the unemployment rate remaining flat. washington talking about everything right now but jobs. we have a guest to talk about jobs ming out. and new york's putnam county. publishing the names and locations of gun owners. is the right to privacy overridden by a newspaper's
