republicans to debate this bill, so solve this problem and i can't get a vote. >> these republicans complaint he wouldn't let them offer amendments. >> i don't even have the ability to offer an amendment my constituents sent me here to do. they didn't send me here to be told sit down and forget it. >> now reid is reversing himself saying he will allow republicans to offer a limited number of amendments. even if that seas rpgs it won't offer the question on funding unemployment benefits and how it will be paid for. tempers are cooling and in discussions with democrats and will be all weekend in hopes of finding a deal by monday. if they do something that gets real bipartisan support in the senate, the question is whether the house speaker who says he won't take up unemployment extensions will be forced to reconsider. fredrica. >> thanks so much dana bash. now to big news out of iran.
