mr. reid first of all, madam president, appreciate your patience. waiting for us to wrap things up. let me say a word, madam president, just very quickly about the staff. i wish everyone a good august. this has been an extremely difficult first seven months of this congressional period. and we've got a lot done. i appreciate very much all of the hard work of everyone. i've said before but not recently that we get a lot of things done around here -- not nearly as much as we should -- but it's the result of the work that's done by you and scores of other people that we don't see that are back there doing all kinds of things to make this place work. all the committee staff, police officers, but especially the floor staff here. the -- as we talked earlier today about some departures we have here, one of the good things we have is all the time i've been here, there could have been instances but i'm unaware of any, where there was bitterness expressed publicly. and as far as i know privately, betwee

>> unfortunately, mr. reid, there's only one microphone for the two of you. >> and i'm eric reid, and this is our partner, zack carson as well. >> so, go ahead and tell us why you want this permit. >> great. well, to give you a little back story on our existence at the facility formerly known as cell space, we joined about four years ago and assumed some managerial responsibility there and saw that we needed to become a legitimate venue in all rights, so on that note, that prompted us to instigate a full compliance program which included the change of the use of the property from light industrial to a place of assembly which we are now [inaudible] and a-2 place conditional place of assembly as well. we've met with directly a year ago, september, september of last year of 2012, we met with the police department, introduced ourselves, got some conditions from them to comply with which included security plans, security systems, full compliance with the good neighbor policy, and then approached them four months lat

notes, mr. reid isn't the nation's nuclear regulator. the d.c. rcuit court has given congress a new chance to remind him of that. guest: harry reid was elected to congress in 1982. he made it his fight when he got to the senate in 1987 to stop this nevada bill from going through. it didn't work. he has dedicated large part of his senate to try to pull back and redirect the funds intended for yucca mountain and since he's become majority leader because been much more in-depth do doing that. he can be a stopping point and barrier to any of the appropriations to keep this going. since obama has been president, he's had help there and he's managed to get that new funding streams down to zero. there have been direct threats made. mark kirk told me a year or two ago, once harry is gone we're going to get this through. that's the way republicans feel. senator mark kirk, obviously john shimkus is a huge advocate for pushing yucca mountain. they point to votes you cited which is the house. not all democrats are opposed to this. democrats who harry reid mad

mr. capehart. republicans appear to have a real anger with harry reid who had the temerity to suggest possibly thatposition to the president might possibly have something to do with race. and they act as though that idea is somehow completely far-fetched and impossible to conceive. >> the thing that i find most hilarious is that the republican party -- i shouldn't say the republican party -- certain members of the republican party get very upset if you talk about race. you're playing the race card if you just talk about the fact that race might possibly be why somebody, anybody is angry about fill in the blank, whether it's the president, whether it's trayvon martin, george zimmerman, you go down the list. i can't take any of these eruptions on the right seriously when they're talk -- when they're talking about race. i mean, i would love for them to talk about -- to talk about issues of race seriously. it seems like the serious conversations that happen on issues of race come from the center and certainly come from the left, and yet on the right crickets. >> josh, you've got the constant harping ab

reid. i want to start with you again, mr. vaughn.n that quote that i think has become the iconic one about "my four little children being judged by the content of their character." but of course, what we know historically, within a month of this historic march, four little children lost their lives in the church in birmingham. and reverend king had talked about the idea of redemptive suffering before that. i want to listen for a moment about dr. king talking about redemptive suffering and ask you about that. so let's take a listen. >> and go on with the feeling that this is a righteous cause and that we will have to suffer in this cause and that a physical death is the price that some must pay. it's the price that i must pay to free my children and the children of my brothers and sisters and my white brothers from a permanent psychological death, then nothing can be more redemptive. i have always believed that unearned suffering is redemptive. and if a man has not discovered something so dear and so precious that he will die for it,

mr. summers preemptively which is sort of a standard washington exercise that i don't like. >> but even after some scolding from the white house, senate majority leader harry reidly skeptical of summerers as fed chief, saying ultimately it will be so divisive within the caucus it may not be worth it. further complicating summers' chances is a new bloomberg poll of economists that find a majority believe that janet yellin, not larry summers, would be the best pick for the job. senate democrats are currently circulating a letter supporting yellin but president obama has declared he needs some, quote, space to make a final decision. >>> joining me now is cnbc's chief washington correspondent, john harwood. john, thank you for joining us on this friday afternoon. >> hey, alex. >> a lot of people think maybe we're making a big deal out of nothing, this pick. but at the end of the day president obama in that same press conference the other week said the federal reserve chair is not just one of the most important policy makers, he is one of the most important policy makers in the world and that person will stay on after i'm president so this along with supreme court a

reid. >> speaker tom reed from maine. he was a great adversary of benjamin harrison. they fought a lot over bills. and someone from california was mrsison's great ally. and he spent the night sleeping in the cloakroom, hoping the appropriation would go through. but speaker reed, he was a very razor-tongued kind of sharp guy, and he cooked up this story that harrison had appointed a postmaster in maine without his approval and he crashed the whole thing. he wouldn't let it come up. >> so, lacking her ability to expand the white house, she turned to restoring what she already had. >> she redecorated. thinking and hoping it was a minor thing to do. and she became interested in the historic house and began researching things. and pulling out antiques and stuff and putting them in the different rooms and she had a decorator in boston make things spiffy. tiffany had been the last one to do the rooms. and they were very rundown. the special effects and all that nobody could reproduce. >> she didn't just find old furniture that had been stored in the white house. here's a quote of what else she discovered in the white house. this is from he

mr. reid: madam president, have everyone sit down and shut up, okay? it's unfair. senator collins has something to say, it's just not polite. the presiding officer: the senate will be in order. senators will take their conversations from the well. the senate will be in order. the senator from maine. ms. collins: thank you, madam president. madam president, the senate will shortly decide whether or not to invoke cloture on the fiscal year 2014 transportation, housing and urban development appropriations bill. we have spent nearly two weeks debating this bill and working through approximately 85 amendments. we were making progress, we even had a vote on a nongermane amendment which clearly would have fallen to a point of order had one been raised. so no one has been shut out of this process. chairman murray and i have repeatedly encouraged senators to come to the floor, file and bate their andment to improve the bill that we reported. it has been an open and transparent debate thus far, a return to regular order, something that i have heard virtually everyone here ur
