senator portman. senator portman: thank you and commissioner, thank you for being here today. i usually see you at the finance committee and this is a tax day hearing, so it is appropriate to talk about the broader issues but i want to focus in on the 1095 a issue in relationship to the affordable care act. the administration announced it sent out a hundred thousand incorrect tax statements -- 800,000 incorrect tax statements. folks around the country rely on these statements. they were initially told, don't worry about filing your taxes until we get it corrected statement and they were recently told, go ahead and file and you will not be penalized based on permission you rely on that is inaccurate. it has caused a lot of confusion. i am sure you heard a lot about it. i have, as i am sure many of my colleagues have. i have a constituent named linda from ohio, she is not interested in sharing her last name today but she got the incorrect cannot -- 1095a from the marketplace and she has been trying to correct it ever since. one of these stories of trying to kurt -- contact peopl

. >> mike lee, the senator from utah, some other figures like that, rob portman to some extent -- >> uh-huh >> -- have begun making speeches that essentially talk about economics in a light that's, i think, more like -- more like what was in our book >> i think of marco rubio and i think of rob portman in one category. i think of mike lee as a ted cruz style -- >> right. and that's -- >> -- flame-thrower, bomb-thrower, or a something thrower. >> and that is a big mistake and impression. >> mike lee is not ted cruz. >> well, mike lee is certainly not ted cruz. and lee and cruz worked together on the government shutdown, which of course rubio and rand paul also supported it. it was something that you supported if you were a sort of younger -- >> ambitious. >> -- ambitious republican senator, but since then, lee in particular, has done a lot of stuff that cruz really hasn't. cruz has been a pretty much policy-free figure on the national stage. >> uh-huh. >> it's all sort of posturing and sort of getting to where, you know, the base seems to be on a particular controversy >> yeah. >> but

portman and mr. toomey is voting for the bill, they are both of her reelection on 2015 and this could come back to hurt them. sen. brown: the only republican who voted against it was from north carolina. he is in a state that has been hit very hard, textiles, furniture. nafta is not a very popular issue in your carolina and he is harkening back to it. host: it was a "wall street journal" article that called out mr. portman on the currency manipulation language. interesting factor as this debate rules on. thank you both for being part of "newsmakers." reporter: thank you.

senator portman: we will appreciate that. just so we can submit the question for you today and we will submit more for the record. an estimate of what percent would be in terms of the folks receiving a subsidy have to repay a portion of it if the verification process were more accurate and working properly. that is obviously one of the big challenges we have. the other issue i think will continue to be something we hear about from our constituents is the state federal data sharing. there's a story in the "wall street journal," yesterday, i think. martha chapman from new mexico had to pay taxes instead of a refund. the exchange did not account for her husband social security benefits of $9,000, so there may be a lot of reasons for that failure. it concerns me that estate might not be committee -- communicating with the federal databases. it seems like the government should have enabled to help her avoid that. she felt this was kind of a trick, that she had -- would not have gotten the insurance if she understood the full price

portman: i stand corrected will stop -- corrected. anyway, lots of questions about how we can help solve this problem and really the scope of the problem. if you could, today, give us with the irs's best estimate is about the folks who have to repay a portion of that subsidy. mr. koskinen: we won't know because it takes a while to post , but thus far, it appears that it is slightly less than half of the people that are getting an increase refund because they got smaller advanced payment of the premium tax credit than they were entitled to based on their final income. about 50-55% getting a smaller refund but they are still getting a refund. the adjustments, we don't know what the dollars are, i have seen tax preparers estimating that their experiment -- their experience has been $300 one-way or three -- or $500 another way. we don't have an indication about who, as a result of getting too much of an advance payment, actually ended up owing tax. the situation of the chairman's constituent is in. i would stress that we have better infor

like scott walker and marco rubio who are perceived as a bit more conservative than bush on several portmanssues -- on several important issues. laura: how do she win them this time? guest: when you get to the late states in the primary process she became a very tough candidate to beat. in some ways that is the playbook. it made herself successful where she showed detail policy knowledge in a setting of every day americans. she reverses the flow of that first campaign and thinks about what she did in the primary states. she will be very tough to beat. laura: thank you for joining us. the nominees from around the world. washington has raised concerns over its decision to lift a band on delivery. it was introduced in 2010 in compliance to u.s. sanctions. a deal on curbing iran's nuclear activity is finalized by the end of june. international sections will be lifted. a federal judge in the u.s. has rejected a deal -- reject an appeal. convicted of involvement of a massacre in iraq, all former members of the u.s. military were found guilty last october of kilted -- of killing 14 iraqis in baghd

orrin hatch, ron johnson, mark kirk, mitch mcconnell and rob portman. just one senator did not vote -- ted cruz of texas. he was on the floor today in opposition to the nomination, but he did not take part in the confirmation vote. ashley parker of "the new york times" wrote "after railing against loretta lynch, ted cruz escapes confirmation vote." "where in the world was senator ted cruz? " he voted against a procedural motion to move ahead. mr. cruz missed her final vote on thursday afternoon. the reason? he had to catch a flight to texas for previous commitments in dallas. he was the only senator to fit the vote. his team on social media and e-mail quickly pushed back against the idea that the senator was shirking his congressional responsibility. he voted against cloture. that is from ashley parker in "the new york times." we will show you a number of highlights from the debate on the senate floor leading up to the confirmation vote for loretta lynch. first, we want to show you president obama's reaction after hearing that the confirmation vote went

there's a couple of undecideds rob portman, lisa her kousky. the votes are there are there for her confirmation, but there's a question of will can conservatives who oppose her position on immigration drag this out because there can be a lot of time wasting that goes on. so it may be hard to get a quick vote on this. ultimately her confirmation looks pretty smooth at this point. >> host: keep following you on twitter, @burgessev and also on politico.com. thanks so much burgess. >> guest: thank you so much for having me. >> president obama recently proclaimed this to be national crime victims rights week. it's a stark reminder of the countless victims of modern slavery who continue to suffer horrifying exploitation at the hands of human traffickers. a stark reminder of the need to pass the justice for victims of trafficking act. it's a bill that victims' groups and advocates have called the most thoughtful piece of anti-trafficking legislation currently pending. it provides unprecedented support to domestic victims of trafficking who are all too

press secretary josh earnest acknowledged that the changes broken by the chairman bob corker and bob portmanere enough to draw. here's what he had to say. >> what i am able to say, despite things about it that we don't like enough substantial changes have been made that the president would be willing to sign it because it would reflect the kind of compromise that he'd be willing to sign. >> reporter: but chairman corker said there was another reason why the white house dropped its veto threat. that republicans and democrats were on the verge of another votes to line up a veto. corker tweeted the simple threat that the white house dropped its veto threat because they weren't going to have enough votes to sustain a veto. >> thank you, jim acosta for that. >>> president obama has submitted a list to remove cuba from the state legislatures. if cuba comes off the list, some sanctions would remain in place, in fact almost all sanctions would remain in place but u.s. businesses and banks would be more inclined to invest in the market. >>> breaking overnight, the so-called medicare doc fix. the fina

about what's going on here with our economy and the american worker and they're not all, senator rob portmanr u.s. trade rep. he has concerned about the bill. high might he might not stop or vote against tpa. his concerns about a fast track at this moment the concerns may be dressed but he's not alone. there are republicans that are not only concerned about free trade, but also about executive authority and what president obama has already afforded himself. but i think when it comes to this issue, that's rooted in a resistance to trade deals. >> does it get through? >> yes. >> i think so. >> sure. >> yeah. >> next up raisins. property rights. and you. they have the procedures for it. they set the value of it and they pay you for it. in this case they just made a little regulation, they took what they wanted, and they didn't give you anything. there was no hearing to find out how much your raisins were really worth. for decades the federal government has not been paying these raisin farmers a single penny to take over large chunks of their crops. it goes back to 1949 in the establishment, bel

we saw with rob portman in ohio, when it comes to flesh and blood and family versus base, a lot of republicanving a hard time choosing base over family. that's really the whole trajectory of the lgbt civil rights movement. >> i think that's why the question is interesting. we have an approval matrix style sort of grid here for where the candidates on this. do they support marriage equality and would they attend a same sex wedding. hillary clinton is in the yes yes. scott walker straddling the line. rick santorum, this was his answer. that's in the no-no quadrant. i think that's the most philosophically consistent or the most honest in some ways. >> in some ways, yes. i wouldn't want to take up the gay friends rick santorum claim he had. to ask them if they had been invited. it's important note that rick santorum -- american catholics are by a wide majority supportive of marriage equality, supportive of full rights for lgbt americans. i think that's interesting. of all religious denominations catholics are the most progressive. not only is he out of step with the broader american public but me

next to be senator whitehouse followed by senator portman and senator warner. senator whitehouse. >> thank you, mr. chairman. it has been an interesting week last week in the senate. i just completed last week a bipartisan markup on a contentious issue in the health committee, with the result air of a 22-0 bipartisan vote on a new elementary and secondary education act. we have just witnessed a unanimous bipartisan result in the senate committee on foreign relations on another difficult and contentious question. we have before us as a conference the bipartisan and bicameral record of the iranian murray negotiations. we and a bipartisan and bicameral way just resolved the annoying annual ritual of the dock six years of bipartisanship and progress are possible. but apparently not in the budget committee. this budget effort has been been a partisan ramrod. even today's formality is not even a token effort of bipartisanship. we are all dead. republicans can brand their budget through, so they will run on trade brand their budget through and that is that. the proble

last year senator portman came out before hillary clinton in favor of same sex marriage citing his son'sblican party and primary that could be an issue. generally speaking if you look at millennial what is the number? 70% under the age of 30 support same sex marriage. it's not an issue. it's a settled issue. this is what republicans in washington worry about. if you're in the your 20s you look at what's happening in indiana and arkansas and thirks what is this? >> you talk to -- not just young people but people have their pulse on what young people want. let's talk about the economics of this. you're trying to attract young college grads. they look at these kinds of issues for a litmus test do i want to work for a company. you have wal-mart saying to no no. >> this is another issue the republican party has to deal with. the chamber of commerce business republicans who say wal-mart saying wait a minute i don't think we want this in the state of arkansas and other big businesses. even nascar in indiana saying no waiver sus van gel kals in the party who are worried about religious rights be

next will be senator portman who is not here, then senator warner, who is not here, then senator toomey, who is not here, then senator merkley, who is not here. senator johnson. and then senator ayotte. senator johnson: i would like to commend senator and the and senator price for their hard work on this. this is a where moment. it should not be, but it is. i guess i would rather take the position of the glass half-full as opposed to the glass half-empty as senator whitehouse said. he mentioned a number of areas of bipartisanship, and that is a good thing, and quite honestly in the senate markup, there are a lot of agreements. five of them are amendments i offered. for time as we pass out some handouts year, because i'm going to do some thing the little unusual in this budget conference, and i am going to start looking at some numbers and, the congressman mentioned that we have difficult choices. and we really want to solve problems as opposed to just demagogue issues, and the way you saw problems is there is a first step you have to take. you have to admit you have one. you have to def

so i don't think it's at all surprising that rob portman, who's got a serious challenge in ohio would want to take this issue away from the democrats or that kelly ayotte in new hampshire would want to do the same thing. you know just as the republican presidential candidates need this to whip up the base there are others there who are actually looking at the broader electorate and not just looking at the primary electorate, and they're realizing that voting against the first african-american woman to be the attorney general after a half a year delay would probably be a good idea to just let it go through at that point. >> you know congresswoman, when president obama nominated loretta lynch, she made a promise to the american people. listen to this. >> sure. >> if i have the honor of being confirmed by the senate i will wake up every morning with the protection of the american people my first thought. and i will work every day to safeguard our citizens our liberties, our rights and this great nation which has given so much to me and my family. >> congresswoman, what do you think a lor

you have what for example, rand paul, rob portman and mike lee are doing on criminal justice reform.o much -- there's so much more innovative thinking on what to do going on. >> yeah. well, you know let me tell you. jonathan, i understand this whole thing emotionally, like when you have a hard day at work you come home and kick the dog. if you're middle class and not feeling that happy about life stick it to the poor people. >> right. >> we know the politics. everybody watching knows what this is about, everybody knows what this is about. >> everybody do, and -- and it's so -- it's wrong on so many levels. look no one begrudges the government placing limits on what people can and can't do with the money that's given to them when they are at the most vulnerable moments in their lives, but it's really humiliating to constantly remind those people in public what they can and cannot do with that money, and so for someone like senator -- governor brownback, we're not really surprised that he would go down this route, especially since a lot of the restrictions he's placed into law were alr

. >> rob portman. >> i think that's been one of the driving forces.ce on on issue that before had been esoteric to a lot of people the movement it's there. >> a quick presidential politics question on this. we will get this decision in june. i think the assumption is that it's likely going to end up legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states. a year from then the republican party is going to meet and make its decision, are they going to have a constitutional amendment in their platform banning same sex marriage. >> i think it depends on who the nominee is. as i said before here and elsewhere, the republicans are on the wrong side of this obviously, it's moved much too quickly. really they have put themselves in a very bad position. honestly, if we are honesty about this, no one in the political establishment should be patting themselves on the back in either party. one of the reasons it moved so quickly is because the public -- >> dragged them. >> hubert humphrey walked out of the 1948 election because of civil rights. there is no hubert humphrey i

you haven't seen -- >> i saw the one with natalie portman and hayden christensen. [ laughter ] does that is what ryan did. he felt the same, and he said -- the night before i started shooting with him, he goes like, "i went to dinner with harrison." >> jimmy: having no idea his past in film. >> he was the dude with the earring, that was married to calista flockhart, which was awesome. [ laughter ] that was like -- >> jimmy: you're so young, you're so young. but i was really cool other than that. you know, i just like didn't really care. and then i watched all three "indiana jones" movies the night before shooting. >> jimmy: was that a good idea? >> no. he rides on a helicopter. >> jimmy: yeah. >> that's literally how he gets to work every day. >> jimmy: but he's flying. >> yeah, he's flying a a helicopter. >> jimmy: yeah, he's that much of a bad-ass. [ talking over each other ] >> jimmy: yeah, he doesn't have a hat and a whip, but still it would be cool if he did. >> in my head, he does. >> jimmy: yeah, exactly. >> i just like to have the whole fantasy. >> jimmy: but, can you do scenes w

senator portman. >> all right. >> thank you mr. chairman and commissioner, thank you for being here today. i usually see you over at the finance committee. and this i guess is really a tax day hearing so it's appropriate to talk about the broader issues. i want to focus in on the 1095a issue, the relationship to the affordable care act. a couple months ago as you know the administration announced it sent out 800,000 incorrect tax statements. and obviously a very important to my con stut chew ents. i think they were initially told you know, don't worry about filing your taxes until we get a corrected statement and then we were recently told go ahead and file your taxes and you won't be penalized based on information you rely on that's inaccurate. so it's caused a lot of confusion. and i'm sure you've heard a lot about it. >> yes. >> i have. s a i'm as i'm sure many of my colleagues from. i have a constituent from iowa she's not interested in sharing her last name today but she got the incorrect 1095a from the marketplace in mid janu

. >> senator portman is not here. senator warner is not here. senator toomey is not here. senator merkley is not here. senator johnson: thank you, mr. chairman. this is a rare moment. it shouldn't be, but it is. i take the position of the glass half-full as opposed to glass half-empty. he mentioned a number of areas of bipartisanship. that's a good thing. there are an awful lot of areas of agreement. as we pass out some handouts here the opening statement i will start looking at some numbers. we have difficult choices and we really want to solve problems as opposed to just demagogue issues. there's a first step you have to take. it to admit you have one. our budget process is really centered around a 10 year budget window. it is a problem but it is not the problem. this congress has made promises to all kinds of americans. we can't honor all those problems. looking at the proper definition to enable america to collectively mean we have it. it is to provide the information of the american people. we take a look at the first page of the handout here. this is the 30 year proj

different amendments from rob portman to actually prevent currency manipulation. out what our values are on trade as we move toward an actual deal in congress, which is in and of itself amazing. olivia: it is interesting to put the tvp and context to the u.s. response of louisiana the asian infrastructure -- brendan: tvpa is trade promotion ability. it is fast tracking. send it back for a single up or down vote -- tom: so you want to get the tpa inand the tpp. brendan: you want to close tpp. olivia: a lot of tech earnings out, keep and i'll for yahoo! we will have full coverage of that after the bell today. why? because it has seen the most significant downgrade and earnings exultation and since the financial crisis for the first quarter. everybody has been revising down their numbers. the ibm numbers actually look pretty good based on the new businesses. david einhorn of greenhorn capital says he thinks that she is really worried about the lack of earnings growth, he thinks it is a sign that stocks are right. tom: mr. belson is pushing against mr. einhorn. olivia
