. >> cenk: reid, what do you think of this strategy? the republicans going to win from this or are the american public getting burned by all the outrage. >> in november and december it was a way to get at president obama. now they are--since then, since susan rice is no longer in line to be secretary of state the anger turned to hillary clinton because going after obama is no longer--it's still a top priority but hillary clinton is widely perceived to be the democratic leading democratic figure to be nominee in 2016 and they have turned most of the benghazi attacks towards clinton. it's never really been about susan rice. it's always been attacking rice to get at somebody else. and we'll see if some of the anger is maintained at her. i get the since when we saw the e-mails come out in a lot of of--when former secretary clinton was at the hearings on the hill, the anger seemed to turn towards her and less towards susan rice. >> cenk: that leaves someone to conclude that it might be a little more political if your anger is shifting not ba

>> i think the war of harry reid threatens it. have always said that the best way to determine how likely this is to happen, how seriously mcconnell's threat is, how much he is talking about it. the run-up to the january rules agreement that he struck with reid, he was saying very little about it on the senate floor which means he was not concerned reid would change this and values filibuster a lot very clear. i think the fact that he's suddenly raising volume again and pushing back so forcefully means he realizes that it is credible and realizes if he continues business as usual, then harry reid is going to have a tremendous amount of support. and he will be able to probably going to be able to convince the majority of the country that he would be doing the right thing. if you were changing the rules. as far as how many of these are going to get through, that's very difficult to know. rich cordray is going to be -- conceptually that's probably the toughest one because the republicans promised to filibuster anybody in his position

>> it's not just harry reid, it's four or five democrats in his caucus.r we're label, greens, students fighting student debt that is extraordinary or consumers, there's no consumer financial protection bureau director confirmed. we need to stand up together and say to democrats which side are you on? if you don't fight for the president's nominees now, in the next two months, you have no use to us. there are democrats who have said to us how will i get my funding for my next election? we say to them you're not going to get your votes for the next election. you're done. >> wow. it's come to that. there's such a level of frustration amongst progressive workers in this country, you're almost threatening lawmakers to move on this. >> wouldn't be threatening. it would be about democracy democracy means we can run primaries, too. if they don't step up and have a 21st century democracy where we can get up or down votes on the president's nominees, what use are they? it's not just the republicans here. democrats need to decide which side are they on? the chamber

reid, what have you seen? what's happened? reid, can you hear me? we lost our transmission from reid. obviously you can tell in the midst of these storms, the communications go in and out. i want to check in with samantha mohr who is at the severe weather center in atlanta. she's tracking the storms. big picture, where are these storms now? where is the next to hit? >> it's an interesting picture, anderson, because as you well know, these storms formed about two hours ago, well west of town, and it almost looks like they just make a big line now all the way from the western flank all the way over east of oklahoma city so what we basically have are two super cells here that are forming multiple tornadoes, and so once we get through the original cell, the original super cell which is now bearing down on oklahoma city, you can see within the next seven minutes or so, so in the immediate future, you need to take cover right now in oklahoma city. that is the first cell. then on the back end of this, we have more regeneration taking place in the second ce

reid: madam president, what are we on now? the presiding officer: we are currently in leader remarks. mr. reid: i would therefore ask -- the presiding officer: no bill is currently pending. mr. reid: i would therefore ask the chair to close the morning business and move to whatever the business of the day is. the presiding officer: under the previous order the leadership time is reserved. under the previous order the senate will resume consideration of s. 744 which the clerk will report. the clerk: calendar number 80, s. 744 a bill to provide for comprehensive immigration reform and for other purposes. the presiding officer: under the previous order the time until 5:30 p.m. will be equally divided between the two managers or their designees. mr. reid: madam president i do have a cloture motion at the desk and i ask that it be reported. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the cloture motion. the clerk: we the undersigned senators in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate hereby mo

i want to play a little bit of sound from ralph reid this morning on "meet the press," talking about how his camp is gearing up for the fight. >> what you're going to see in iowa like imposing same-sex marriage -- >> supreme court. >> state supreme court. passing constitutional amendment to ratify that marriage should be between a woman and man -- >> this is the issue of politics are complicated for republicans. i believe a couple house members have said they will introduce legislation, maybe as early as next week it try again on doma. but i don't think there will be a lot of will within their caucus to get that done. given the other issues they have to deal with. >> whether it at the state or federal level, this is such a group of people that are digging their heels in and fighting the sea change and i think we will just as we saw, we will talk about it on an unrelated matter but as we saw on the voting rights act, states like texas for example, introducing legislation within hours of the supreme court decision, i think we will see that happening on state levels with regard to doma

. >> and reid wilson. thank you for being with us. let me begin with the main question. how do you get sick seats to retake in 2014. what is your target? >> we want to increase the number of republican senators. i say that because i believe it is important for the country. i am interested in this topic not because i am a republican but because i believe the country needs a different direction. our goal is to make certain that we move in that direction. it would be great if we had more than 50 senators. you do that by reelecting the incumbents, the republicans that are out seem to be in excellent shape. no incumbent republican senator faces a significant challenge in being reelected. our primary responsibility is to make sure that those republican senators are reelected. then you work in open seats and try to make certain that republicans gain in the elections for which there is no incumbent. there is a great opportunity to defeat a number of democrat senators who are up in 2014. it is about the numbers and they worked in our favor. >> we will talk about some of those. >>

reid: i appreciate my friend for yielding, the usual courtesy. i would ask, though, that his statement not appear interrupted in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: i have read into the record in some detail today a letter that he wrote with senator leahy talking about what has gone on in recent years about border security. that country is very fortunate fortunate -- our country is very fortunate to have this good man leading the homeland security committee. i have -- one of the senators i don't know as much about as i do know about this man, but we have been together since 1982. he had a sabbatical he took for eight years to run the state of delaware as a governor, but other than that, we have been locked in arms moving forward. so i appreciate very much his yielding on this matter. i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to a period of morning business with senators allowed to speak for up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to s. res.

and now, like every member of congress, i go to walter reid, bethesda which is again called walter reid, i see those individuals. that may be affirmed. the first time i went to walter reid i wasn't looking forward to going. i knew what i was going to see. men and women with horribly broken bodies. what is amazing is when you go there can be realized their bodies are broken up their spirits. quick story. i was at walter reid a week before they transferred most cases to bethesda. i went to the rehabilitation work. they were told of the finest among us there. five are missing freelance. when i see missing, there wasn't much left. one had his beautiful wife and daughter they are helping him with his rehabilitation, which reminds us it's also the sacrifice of their husbands and wives, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers. i was talking to another triple amputee who said sir, when i get done with a rehabilitation, i go to the floor with the new guys come in, just take it upon myself. there is no way you can lead an encounter like that not being totally odd, totally inspired and left with a

we got the casino kick back for harry reid. barry sanders 1.5 billion for youth employment that also includes transportation and daycare. did you see that provision? >> i did. this is just like obama care. they are trying to buy votes one at a time. let me tell you one of the most troubling aspects of this bill that a lot of people don't understand. the impact of this bill effectively creates de facto affirmative action for those who are here illegally because illegal immigrants when they get this rpi status are exempted from obama care. so if you're a small business owner it costs about $5,000 more when you take into account the tax treatment to hire a u.s. citizen or a legal immigrant than it does to hire someone who is here illegally. can you imagine a $5,000 penalty for hiring a u.s. citizen or a legal permanent resident. that makes no sense to put a massive preference for those here illegally over those who followed the law. i've got and amendment to fix that, to defund obama care until there are no more rpis waiting in li

chip reid has more from palm springs, california, where president obama has been meeting with the president of china. >> reporter: at a summit notable for its informality, president obama and chinese president xi jinping focused on a personal relationship to work cooperatively on a range of contentious issues. at the top of the u.s. agenda: cyber security, with president obama raising concerns about extensive chinese hacking of u.s. computer systems. >> which is why i believe we can work together on this, rather than at cross purposes. >> reporter: but working together could be difficult following a series of leaks this week to the british newspaper "the guardian" about u.s. cyber capabilities. friday, the paper reported on a secret directive by president obama to draw up an overseas target list for cyber attacks. while the existence of the directive was widely reported last year, someone has now leaked the actual document to "the guardian." a white house spokeswoman downplayed the significance of "the guardian" report, stating

gwen: let me ask you about this, reid. it seems like it affects this problem at the top trickles down throughout the party. how does this affect the party's positioning for the presidency? >> wel ihi it has a huge impact because the driving force behind the republican party right now is the house of representatives. and it's the only branch or only lever of government they control and it is run by -- what i think is a very weak leadership. john boehner does not have a lot of power over his republican conference. eric cantor, number two, doesn't have any much more power then boehner does. there's simply not -- the leaders are being driven towards whatever the younger members, freshman first elected in 2010 or 2012, even back to the few members who were elected in 2006 like michele bachmann or 2008, this is a very young republican conference. one of the interesting things though is after the democratic waves of 2006 and 2008, there's -- i think there's one difference between the democrats and sort of rebuilding through thing

part of their gentlemen's agreement meant that harry reid promised not to resort to his controversials the nuclear option to change the rules via 51 votes, in other words, harry reid promised not to overrule the filibuster votes with democratic support, presumably because that would not have been gentlemanly, and this was a gentlemen's agreement. but now, republicans have not kept up their end of the bargain. the gentlemen and women of the grand old party have nearly ground the judicial process to a halt, to say nothing of legislative affairs. in fact, president obama has only been able to feel a quarter of the empty court seats since the beginning of his time in office, while 71 empty seats are in the court of appeals seat. and now, harry reid signals he is tired of the difficulty, and may put the option back on the table. that earned a reprimand from senator alexander. >> mr. president, for the last few weeks i've been listening to the republican leader ask the majority leader not to turn the united states senate into a place where a majority of 51 can do anything it wants. in 2007,

( cheers and applause ) a sharply divided court advanced the cause of gay rights in two cases. it struck down the 1996 defense of marriage act, known as doma, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples. in the other case, it authorized the resumption of same-sex marriage in the nation's most populous state, california. jan crawford begins our coverage at the supreme court. >> reporter: writing for the 5-4 majority, justice anthony kennedy said the 1996 defense of marriage act that denied federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples had one purpose and one effect: that distinction, the court said, violates c

. >> so joy reid, do you take that as a yes or a no? he left room for a yes there, that he has picked up the phone and spoken to vladimir about this. >> i'm guessing that there have been conversations had. because this is a mess. i mean, we've essentially had china, where we supposedly had an extradition treaty with hong kong, say sorry, we're not sending him back, we're sending him to russia. and then you have the russians saying sorry, we're sending him to havana maybe. and then we have ecuador saying, well, we're going to let him stay. essentially, the united states, you know, has asked that basically just duly ratified treaties of extradition be observed, and these countries are saying no, we're not going to do it. and then they just happen to also be the beneficiaries of some of these leaks. it's all unpleasant. >> richard wolffe, you've written a book of the way things work inside obama world. what's your bet on what president obama does in this situation in terms of just picking up the phone and talking to putin about this? >> so

i want to bring in reid wilson, the editor and chief of national journals hotline and shara is here as well. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> in case you missed what adam shipp just said on "the daily rundown." >> he's running one step ahead of the mob. >> reid, after two years of negotiations, how does this happen? especially to a guy who said he would bring immigration to the floor if he didn't have the votes? >> remember, the farm bill, it met the rule with a majority of the republican votes, but this is a failure of the vote counters on the republican side. if you are a majority, you don't put a bill on the floor unless you have some guarantee it's going to pass. you didn't see a lot of this happening when the democrats, when nancy pelosi was speaker. they had a tight whip operation when republicans were in control of the senate and dennis laster was speaker before 2006. these sorts of votes rarely if ever happened. sometimes they would keep the votes open for hours while they con joeled members just enough to get to the 218 votes they needed to pass a bill. this time

reid: mr. president, the previous order said that i'd be recognized when that time ran out, and so that would be the case now. the presiding officer: the majority leader is recognized. mr. reid: i will be recognized at 9:30. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: mr. president, again i thank the majority leader. i have heard some talk tonight from some saying they wish there would be votes. i finally have given unhanding a long list to the republican side of amendments we are prepared to vote on, both republican and democratic amendments. each time that was rejected. most of them were amendments with no controversy, republican and democratic alike; would have been accepted. and i think back to the debate we had in the senate judiciary committee where we actually voted on amendments. we brought up 140 or so. all but two or three passed with bipartisan votes. a couple dozen of about 40 republican amendments p

i'm looking at you senator harry reid.ning me now democratic strategic tad divine and jim i'm going to go to you first. is this a strategy to take on republicans like this, and could it press harry reid to look for filibuster reform. >> whether it will move reid, i'm not so sure. my doubts are that he's such a long-time member of this cosy club he may be thinking about longer-term interests and what happens if they get their butts kicked in a couple of elections an find themselves back in the minority. i'm not at all surprised about what the president is doing. i would be stunned if harry reid showed the backbone to convince the rest of his caucus to change the rules. >> michael: i agree with you. i would be stunned too but what is it going to take, when you come in as a junior senator you're not going to be able to change the rules. wouldn't it take a long-time center on the way out to say we need to make some changes here. >> i don't know how many folks john mccain speaks for. he certainly doesn't speak for the young gun

harry reid centcom down when the media was jumping about whether is was overreacd. do you think that their response is justified that wa't a big deal? >> well, i think person communications are being wched by government and is concerning. particularly when they come on@ the heels of th revelations of the irs. some of the private information that is used for political purpes. there is a loss of trust in our government. there ha beea breach of significt magnitude and people have a right to be very concerned. i don't think you can dismis this. at the same time, ou d't claim that there has been a brch of principles until you see what has been done. thatis something that investigation ll occur. if you will, let'snot forget the prosecution ahead of the facts. let's t to the facts andsee if there has been se kinof inapproprie gatherg of information. >> i mentioned h harry reid. at a time when h stepped on the floor of the senateo say that he was very well aware it did raise the possibility that your tax return information or a part of it was leaked to him. whatou think abo

the travel industry critical in nevada, senator reid's home state. that is exactly how that happened and how these other things got tossed in. they happen at the last minute and you heard republicans, controversitives, who oppose the bill getting angry, saying we have 72 hours to read the bill, it's 1200 pages long, and senator reid wants a vote by 5:30 p.m. eastern time monday? it's going to happen. >> this house you get. i. byron york, at the very much indeed. >> another provision calls for more fence and 19,000 more border agents, but critics say it gives to too much leeway on where the fence should be built. >> confident the border is as secure as it's ever been. >> the border is more secure now than it has been ever. >> well, worrying maricopa county sheriff joe arpaio who hays the border is far from sure. sheriff, the administration says they have cut down border crossings dramatically. are you saying that's not so? >> evidently they forget president nixon and g gordon liddy and i ran an operation intercept where the president said we're going

i heard heaarry reid saying he thought it was the right decision. republicans have no chance, i'm getting a senator here soon. >> right. booshg's li booker's likely to be the nominee. keeping him off the ballot does protect republican interests in the state ballots. part of christie's calculation, if he can within a huge landslide, if he runs in 2016, he can say, listen, i'm the only person in this field who not only has won two terms as governor, but won two terms as governor, my second term with a huge amount of support, i'm the crossover success here look at 2013. >> i want to pick up that point in a minute on christie. an interesting back and forth between christie and jon stewart. i want to add context after eric had a rough day. there was this and this. she got a parking ticket... ♪ and she forgot to pay her credit card bill on time. good thing she's got the citi simplicity card. it doesn't charge late fees or a penalty rate. ever. as in never ever. now about that parking ticket. [ grunting ] [ male announcer ] the citi simplicity card is the

i believe senator reid is still speaking on the floor of the senate. i guess, therefore, the actual vote is going to be a little bit delayed? >> a little bit. you'll notice that all of the senators, as you look at this picture, are sitting at desks. this is an important vote, not just done with senators walking in and pressing a button or raising their hands. this will be senators sitting at their desks and then when the vote is called, the clerk will call their names alphabetically and they will stand and say yea or nay. senator reid is doing his final pitch and we believe all the senators there are in the chamber. if they weren't we would do a quorum call to make sure -- basically a bed check to make sure all the senators are in place. >> a wide assumption this is going to pass in the senate in a few minutes. my question is, what happens then? >> well, this is a simple majority, and because it cleared the cloture hurdle, the hurt that you had to get to this point, it's almost certain to pass. with fairly big numbers. the question is, it's probably no
