so another tweet now from senator chuck schumer.tsed senator schumer. but if senator john mccain wants to mock parts of america, stick to arizona. so now, he's mocking arizona, i guess, you know who senator mccain really needs to apologize to? the great ambassador of long island, that gentleman right there, mr. joey buttuofuoco. >>> you're lit up for the holidays. tweets, texts and emails are next. whoa. whoa. how do you top great vacations? whoa. getting twice the points on great vacations. whoa! use chase sapphire preferred and now get two times the points on travel, and two times the points on dining and no foreign transaction fees. whoa! chase sapphire preferred. a card of a different color. apply now at chasesapphire.com/preferred sweet & salty nut bars... they're made from whole roasted nuts and dipped in creamy peanut butter, making your craving for a sweet & salty bar irresistible, by nature valley. >>> number one story on msnbc.com this morning on the this 23rd annual world aids day. one in four americans living with hiv ha

we are advised that took schumer will introduce same-sex reform in january 2010.we are also told that passage by the spring is imperative. congressman good cheer rest will introduce comprehensive immigration reform for the house apparently in the next few weeks of around thanksgiving. while senator schumer is likely to include this language in any legislation, it is not a slam dunk. as the professor told us, there will be different versions of different bills. now, gutierrez's office has been quiet on their version. it is critical that lgbt couples are included in the house and senate versions of comprehensive immigration reform. is a quality-based legislation is critical for the tens of thousands of gay or lesbian couples living in exile, illegally, in fear, in detention, or perhaps separated from loved ones. california makes up a large percentage of bi-national couples, and with special notes -- social networking, it has probably tripled. the largest percentage is from the bay area. i would be remiss -- i believe it would be remiss of san francisco for this icon

as you point out in interview with schumer.eutral point out it's almost undoable. nonetheless, it's all about the game of politics, that the democrats are playing. they have sprung a trap and republicans are caught in it. yes, republicans are away. house members are away. but we have airplanes. they can return in one day. i make a suggestion i suggest yesterday, of course, appeared in the paper of national review online. let the house pass the identical bill that the senate passed with one change. simply change the date of expiration of the payroll tax extension from the 29 of february to december 31. i can't see how the senate would not accept that, and the president wouldn't sign it. >> bret: don't you then have to adjust the pay-for? or do you just extend what they pay for in the two-month deal? >> bret: extend it. renegotiate it after january. >> bret: all right. the "wall street journal" editorial called it g.o.p.'s payroll tax fiasco. mary katherine, beyond the politics, are there people back at home who do follow process

that is totally fine with these kinds of policies so i actually think schumer can make this move so i know it sounds to me it was my turn to somebody like what you're going to shot like you actually you breathe it in your head like you are is it just lets me have you want those big things that you. clear your nose that's not going to do that was sold to me because. i don't know how you know that could be a little uncomfortable i don't know i don't know either but i'm just going to say that once we made seat belts mandatory it was all downhill from there and we should not be surprised that this is happening is we should not be surprised that you didn't agree to this you know caffeine ok if you want to. do other things with it go for it ok so yesterday we had the great headline about the guy who tried to shoot a mouse and instead he shot his roommate and then he got his other roommate arrested for statutory rape all in the process now today we have a guy orders a drink leave the bar to go rob a bank and then comes back into the exact same bar right after robbing a bank as if nobody woul

i don't understand what i saw you very getting to the point where chuck schumer a band kept straight out of because it sounds like yeah everything can be used as a party and hand and read just trying to stay away which all his wall street buddies like need to do their annual rip offs you know a lot of yellow red bull probably like ok that is was true but you think what you want and cocaine it's crazy i get it you think illegal but you know i don't even know how we can go about banning this though because with four loko at least he had alcohol mixed with caffeine thing to kind of so word of problem solve on but this doesn't make any sense you can just take a product that's you it's just insane he's got you've got h.h.s. on his side i mean this is look at the four loko thing the refusing to allow thirteen year old survive over the counter plan b. i mean like this isn't h.h.s. that is totally fine with these kinds of policies so i actually think this. i really found this was by turning somebody like you are going to shot like you actually you breathe it in like you are is it just let's

senator chuck schumer, vice chair of the democratic conference, chair of the rules committee. we're hoping he can clear up the alleged great confusion. senator, thank you for being here. >> nice to be with you, rachel. >> what can you tell us is about to happen next? are we heading toward 11 days from now that tax going up? >> it's possible. it may not happen. look, the republicans have had bad day after bad day after bad day. today was a terrible day for them. first speaker boehner promised to put the bipartisan 89-10 passed senate bill on the floor of the house. he couldn't. because he knew it would pass. he knew there were 50, 60, 70 republicans who would join all 190 democrats to vote for it and it would pass by a large margin. he puts together the subterfuge, send it to a committee. you don't have to be in washington to know if you want to kill something without fingerprints, you send it to a committee. republicans continue to desert boehner. today three more major senate republicans said he ought to pass our bill, the senate bill. grassley and wicker, conservatives from

but listen here for the dig by mccain at schumer's backyard.'t it true that justice o'connor was specifically referring to a case of a person who was captured on long island? last i checked, long island was part, albeit, sometimes regrettably, part of the united states of america. >> well, the senator from new york raced then to his battle station. "all of america saw how heroic long islanders were on 9/11," schumer tweeted. "long island deserves an apology." well, less than an hour later, mccain took the senate floor again. >> i'm sorry that there's at least one of my colleagues that can't take a joke, and so i apologize if i offended him and hope that someday he will have a sense of humor. >> well, not quite the apology schumer was looking for. his follow-up tweet, "new yorkers can take a joke, but if senator john mccain wants to mock parts of america, stick to arizona." ladies and gentlemen, this is what's wrong with american politics right now. this. ç >>> up next, if you thought rick perry would take the cake for campaign gaffe of the wee

schumer's office to tell them how important it is to have comprehensive reform here and that it must include our gay and bi-national couples. we need to ensure he receives the message from san francisco this week or it might be too late, that lgbt families matter equally and there is no comprehensive immigration reform until we are all included. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. it takes a lot of courage to share your experiences and put a human face on the immigration issue, so you are an inspiration to us. to our panelists, we are going to shorten the questions because i want to be sensitive to you want to speak. the commission has asked that we set aside public speaking time. to our panelists, after hearing the testimony from the individuals that are here tonight, which put to the human face on cir, what strikes you the most about what you have heard, and under cir, how can negative practices, including criminal conviction, be dealt with differently? i will start with mary. >> thank you. i thought all this testimony from the community speakers was incredibly moving and shows a w

i cannot tell you what his bill will look like, what senator schumer's bill will look like. what i can say it is all those pieces work together to ultimately come up with something that is hopefully, at least, something that we can create a foundation from. comprehensive immigration reform has to be broad enough to make -- give us the foundation to build more, but i do not think it will be done at that point. there will be a lot of issues that will not happen in the first go round that will need to be perfected, but me to do enough to turn immigration into something that is not so politicized and is more about really getting down to the problems. i wanted to address briefly some by pointing out, you cannot always tell what will happen based on one set of votes. in the dhhs appropriations bill for 2010, in the senate, and there were a lot of horrible amendments to make e-verify mandatory, inshore every inch of the fence was real, we get ensure every inch of the fence was real, not virtual. -- ensure every inch of the fence was real, not virtual. a lot of people said, my goodn

tonight, senator charles schumer calls for investigation.ee elderly women have accused the transportation administration of strip searching them at the airport. schumer says there needs to be a balance. >> instead of being a pleasant, if sometimes frustrating experience for these passengers, flying became a degrading experience. that should be avoided at all costs. >> schumer is recommending the tsa appoint passenger advocates at every airport to deal with passengers screens complaints. >>> in tonight's healthwatch, doctors struggling to understand the minds of autistic children. randall pinkston reports for wjz. the answer may be in the eyes. >> mike and laura chavalino have their hands full with 7- year-old triplets. two of them, michael and francesca have autism. like most kids with the disorder, both have trouble identifying emotions in others. they're more likely to focus on octs. >> there is a difference in what they are focused on. >> now, scientists believe the blink of an eye may help explain why. >> the less a child blinks, the mor

chuck schumer joins me now. i know you are very upset and a lost senate democrats and a few republicans said this. they are upset that the house republicans won't do an up or down vote. congress does work this way where the senate has a bill and the house has a bill and you go to conference. >> we are calling for an up or down vote on the bipartisan senate middle class tax. we are confident that that will pass the floor of the house. we heard senate republicans say they will be supportive and we are hearing even house republicans encouraged and republicans say they will be supported. there dozens who would vote. instead, what speaker boehner has done after promising an up or down vote yesterday is create an up or down vote with no up. down vote kills the bill and they don't send it to the the senator for signature. we know in washington it's time-honored. you want to kill somebody and not have your own fingerprints on it, send it to a committee. that is exactly what the speaker is doing and it will just end up k

schumer and michael gianaros of queens want the transportation security administration to create the all airports to immediately act on complaints over passengers over the security screening. the proposal prompted by an elderly woman recent claim she was strip searched by officials at kennedy airport, which the t.s.a. denies saying it doesn't conduct strip strip searchers. schumer says it's time for passengers to have a voice. >> before have your complaint raised before you have the privacy is violated. you have to wait until after. that gives two rotten choices, don't go on a plane or submit to humiliating experience. >> reporter: the t.s.a. says it is planning the own advocacy service to ensure all passengers are treated with dignity and respect. spokesperson tells fox, t.s.a. has customer service representatives at most major airports and already announced plans to celt up an 800-number. as a influence for passenger -- resource for passengers with medical assistance or those requiring assistance during screening to call before getting to the airport. hotline is expected to be avai

senator schumer, thanks for being here. what's the exit strategy? how might this flap over the payroll tax end? house blinks, senate blinks, or does it expire? >> well, i don't think it will expire. i think that basically there is so much pressure on speaker boehner. he's basically standing alone, that the house is going to have to do what the american people want and what many of us have been asking which is very simple simply to pass the two-month extension and then we'll negotiate for the rest of the year. speaker boehner had a very bad day. it started out with the "wall street journal" editorial which you mentioned. in the course of the day senator mccain tweeted the "wall street journal" editorial to thousands of republicans and said he agreed with it. later in the day, both newt gingrich and karl rove, two leading republican strategists, said that boehner ought to just go along here, so he's sort of out on a limb, and i think he knows the right thing to do, but he's got a caucus that contains 80 to 100 very, very hard right people, and -- and
