harry reid has blocked most meaningful legislation for ever coming up for a vote.w, it's funny, president obama says oh, i can't get anything done because of the stupidity republican house. but, when they do get a bill to the senate, the house, reid blocks it. >> sure: not only that but he also, when he does take up a bill, blocks people being able to propose amendments. the senate has great history, a great tradition, madison described it as the saucer that cools the passions of the house. part of that process to allow the individual senators to make amendments. but he uses an obscure rule in order to, in essence, it's called filling the tree. it means that he is in charge of deciding what limited number of amendments can be considered. and so, really the house is actually functioning as a legislative body. the senate has is ruled like a modern dictatorship by senator reid. >> so the gridlock that's caused and has americans angry, because the approval rating from congress around 11%, 12%, is pretty much harry reid's fault. one guy is sabotaging the whole process o

neil: all right, senator harry reid and taxing them through the reid and taxing them through the nosey when folks think about what they get from alaska, reid and taxing them through the nose is perfectly they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. the. neil: in our business blitz, democrats trying to shame companies into paying more taxes. a lot of these companies are shipping their operations overseas and taking advantage of arcane rules. rules that congress had allowed and applied and built into our tax law. anyway, he is a vet about it. our all-stars are back with us now. >> economic patriotism, it is such a vacant term. these companies do have judiciary duties. what is patriotic

harry reid says so. how does he know? here's harry. >> the border is secure.tin talked to the caucus today. he's a border state senator. he said he can say without any equivocation, the border is secure. >> a different lawmaker, democrat at the border, argues otherwise. >> the people i represent in southern arizona and i have 83 miles of the border with mexico don't feel secure. don't feel safe in their homes. the border isn't secure from my perspective. >> what does the white house think? ed henry tried to get an answer from josh earnest earlier today. >> senator reid said the border is secure. do you agree with him? >> the administration under the president's leadership has dedicated significant resources to securing the border. >> you say it is secure? >> the position of this administration is that we have made an important investment in securing the border. the president is supportive of additional security being added to the border. >> then this came out on the senate floor a little while ago and confirmed that the border is secure. interesting to me is t

harry reid lives in the ritz-carlton in washington, d.c. and i'm sure from his perspective the border seems secure. i would invite harry reid to come with me down texas and see the border. on the border we are seeing the opposite of following the law. the border is not secured. 90,000 children are expected to come in to this country illegally this year and harry reid says the border is secure? i'll tell you who is holding these kids ransom is harry reid and the president because their view is don't do anything to fix the problem. he mentions comprehensive immigration reform. the gang of eight bill is one of the causes of this problem. what the kids are saying they are coming because they believe they will get amnesty. part of the gang of eight bill promising amnesty. >> one question i have how do you help the kids? i understand how it helps the united states not to allow them to come in to this country. how does it then kids hey you have to stay in central america. you talk about the violence in central america, the murder rate in some of t

reid. how are you today? >> i'm doing very well. you have called this the worst voter suppression law since the days of jim crow. explain. >> no doubt. this is the worst, most egregious law that we've seen since jim crow to suppress and isolate the vote. this bill, house bill 4589, has more than 40 changes. not just voter i.d., 40 changes in the law. same-day registration, others as you have noted. this bill is trying to take away access to the polls that citizens have had. this is not blocking access. they're actually rolling back access. and we know in north carolina the federal government over the last 30 years has had to intervene through preclearance more than 60 times. this bill shows the nation what happens when you remove preclearance, what happens when the federal government no longer has preclearance. when this bill started out, it was 12 pages. after shelby, it was 57 pages. 57 pages where they identified the voters they want to suppress and conjured up these policies to go after those voters. i.e., young people, african-

now, why would that bother harry reid? or why would that bother barack obama, who would like to see a much more diverse society as he calls it? >> well, a diverse society, but you're saying you think the majority of people that are coming in from these poorer countries are more likely to vote democrat because they -- >> sure. >> let me ask you this. you talk about ball canization, what do you foresee happening? >> here's what i see. i mean, there are huge enclaves of people in various cities and towns basically moving together by culture, by language, by ethnicity. and basically not communicating well or hardly at all with other areas of the country. it's like when i say bulkization, look at yugoslavia, broke up over religion, language, culture and history into seven countries. you have serbia, croatia -- that's what i see happening to the united states. look at britain. the scots want to get out and similar in many ways to the english. it's happening all over the world. >> do you see certain states saying we want to be in

i'm in for joy reid. this is "the reid report.", each with big new developments. more civilian casualties in gaza when a hospital and refugee camp are struck. also, the violence in ukraine gets worse today as the u.n. condemns russia and the state department shows damning evidence that russia is actually behind the escalation. but we start with the attempts to quell the violence in gaza. just a short time ago, secretary of state john kerry spoke about the difficulties in securing a permanent peace. as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now suggests a long campaign and rockets struck a refugee camp and the grounds of a hospital today. kerry also appeared to reassure his many critics in israel, both on the left and right, that the u.s. still supports one of the country's top priorities. >> any process to resolve the crisis in gaza in a lasting and meaningful way must lead to the disarmament of hamas and all terrorist groups. >> kerry's words came soon after attacks in gaza on a refugee center as well as yet another medical fac

so there's plenty of work on harry reid's desk. harry reid has been unwilling to call the vote. and i know that my colleagues join me in se, we would love to see him call the vote on one of these 332 bills. at this time, i would like to yield to the gentlelady from minnesota, mrs. bachmann. mrs. bachmann: mr. speaker i want to thank mrs. blackburn for the wonderful leadership she's providing on this bill this evening. it really is quite shocking. we've had a conversation this week about all the work that's been done in this chamber. we've worked really hard. we've been here late at night, we've been here every day, because we know that people across the united states, mr. speaker are suffering, they're suffering in this economy, as mrs. blackburn has said, they're suffering for the rise in gas prices, that are rising because of joblessness, they're worried because their children aren't getting jobs. most particularly, the african-american youth. it is out of control the number of african-american youth who don't have employment. and in the latino community as well. we are heart

harry reid saying our border is already secure. peter doocy live with a new pole about how americans actually feel about how the president is dealing with the crisis. >> heather the new numbers are in this morning. 58 percent of the adults disapprove of the way president obama is dealing with all of the undocumented immigrants entering the united states. far fewer 33 percent actually approve of the job the president is doing on this issue. bipartisan legislation by two members of the texas leg stlags want to speed up deportation giving all undocumented children an asylum hearing and hiring immigration judges to keep the process going. those lawmakers say that would have a far greater impact than the nearly 4 billion the president wants to throw at the problem. >> he's asked for $3.7 billion, but not anything that would actually fix or solve the problem. should we supply that? simply put all it would do is ensure all unaccompanied minors no matter where they come from are treateded exactly the same under the law. >> majority leader

is harry reid delusional?'s done, the border isn't secure from my perspective. so that's what this bill is about in terms of the latest crisis, getting a handle on this situation, solving the problem once and for all that we haven't solved in many, many months and years. we have to get done to solving problems. that's why the people of southern arizona sent me to washington and that's what i'm trying to do with this legislation. >> comevmñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? november, cs be thrashednwñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? in thes. your opponent has raised a ton of money in recent months here. are you concerned about that? is that why you're taking this harsh position now against the president administration? >> no. it has nothing to do with that. i've been working on this issue since before i came to congress, as congresswoman giffords district director, i had to leave for border security matters and i helped her craft legislation that brought resources to the border. from the day i stepped into this job as a new member of congress from the arizon

we understand the value of that. >> greta, we can't make harry reid do it.e keeps wanting to throw the money at the problem and that won't solve it. >> i don't buy it stay here and sit in your office, all of you in the house until you get it done. >> he still went do it. you think is he reasonable man. is he not. he will not do it. he wants to keep saying we are a do nothing congress so on purpose he will not pass any common sense legislation that we propose. >> not in a million years would i turn my back on a humanitarian crisis if i thought it was -- if i thought it was my responsibility. not in a million years. we can stop this crisis in one week harry reid take up the bill. >> i very much appreciate you coming on and arguing with me about this. >> boom boom boom. >> we have been arguing in the green room as well you are a good sport. >> greta, thank you,. >> i will be on in august come back in town. >> i will. thank you, greta. >> president of honduras go "on the record" as citizens pouring into our country. young girls even given birth control pills to

i'm joy reid. this is "the reid report." we're following two big stories this hour.r prize winning journalist and probably the highest profile undocumented immigrant in the united states, jose antonio vargas, has been detained. just as the first wave of undocumented women and children are put on planes and sent home to honduras. and the 11th hour attempt at a truce between israel and hamas militants is shot down as more bombs and more rockets rain down on civilians. we're live in tel aviv to bring you the latest. but we begin at the border, where today pulitzer prize winning journalist and immigrant activist jose antonio vargas who outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in a "new york times" article back in 2011 has been detained by border agents while trying to board a plane in mcallen, texas. vargas had traveled to the border to highlight the stories of the refugee children who are coming by the thousands from central america. before attempting to leave today, vargas tweeted this picture, showing his philippine passport and pocket-book size copy of the u.s. con

i'm joy reid. this is "the reid report."e following breaking news on what could be a huge setback for the affordable care act, and it would affect several million people. we're also following two other big stories driving the day. israel, where now the faa is prohibiting all u.s. flights to israel as a missile lands near the airport in tel aviv. and the fighting continues in gaza. and ukraine, where we've got breaking developments in the investigation of the downed malaysia air flight. but we start with breaking news that could spell a new supreme court showdown for obamacare. just a short time ago, a three-judge panel on two different federal appeals courts reached the exact opposite conclusion on a key element of the president's health care law, specifically the part that makes the affordable care act actually affordable for the 36 states whose exchanges are run by the federal government. nbc's pete williams joins us now live from washington, d.c. so pete, thanks for being here. please explain these two rulings and what th

you are pretty harsh about harry reid. you say he is blocking progress on energy, jobs, corporate taxes. make your case, you have thirty-second. >> dozens of bills have passed the house that are sitting in the senate right now and passed with bipartisan, good numbers of democrats and a majority of republicans that can put more americans to work today if harry reid would allow a vote. he is not allowing the votes. there are ten right now that would improve jobs and the economy that have to do with education, energy, health care, government red tape. we should pass those before we go on recess. stuart: white house is out with a statement saying the president is trying to get these measures especially infrastructure spending. he is trying to do this. >> harry reid takes his direction from president obama. the president has his fingers crossed on this one. he does not want bills coming from congress to the desk. we are seeing president obama telling harry reid to continue blocking amendments and bills. they are stacked up in t

so there's nothing that they can do about it. >> i think that harry reid and other democrats, apple isup and producing 100 million of these iphone's are coming out in the fall, they are all being produced in china and the far east, and the issue is what makes them do that, what makes companies do that. >> i think that harry reid's position on this and a lot of democrats here, it's very unproductive when it comes to actually getting to a policy position that they support, harry reid and others are constantly talking about how they want american jobs to be brought back home, but yet they support policies and vilified companies are trying to keep more of their own money in order to produce more jobs here in america. so it's an unproductive policy position to hold and they are not going to get anywhere by vilified companies for doing what they can to produce more and to provide more jobs whether companies. neil: that is very well put. switching gears despite all of our problems and what we just mentioned being a problem, why is it that when push comes to shove the renewed gosse of islands,

[laughter] my question and greetings to reid wiseman, a fellow marylander. you know, we'll package some freeze-dried crab cakes for you up there. i wonder if you could, if you could tell us -- [laughter] i got that signal. i wonder if you could tell us, though, the importance of the work that you do and how you are inspired to join the space program. what inspired you? because i think it is really a challenge for us to figure out what inspires the next generation of explorers. >> that's a great question, and i think back to my childhood, and certainly it was when the space shuttle was just being developed and launched back in 1981. i was around 6 years old at the time, and i definitely remember a 747 flying over maryland, and we had gone up to the top of the hill for the simple act of watching a space shuttle fly over on the back of a 747 as they were transporting it. and that image is burned into my mind. that probably started the course that i was on to become not only a navy pilot, pilot and then an astronaut. so, to me, we never know as adults, we never
