>> senator butttarrington. harry reid. >> oh. >> good morning, senator. >> good morning. >> rob reiner gave a passionate speech about the filibuster. >> yes. we have gone to a super majore, that goes the direction the minority thinks is the right direction. >> senator, but -- do a civics 101 class for a lot of people that don't understand what the filibuster is. because i know you guys -- you were part of an effort last year to rain in abuse of the filibuster. >> you bet, this stems from a basic courtesy that goes back a long ways of saying in the senate we don't have that many members, we can hear everyone out before we make a decision. what it evolved to was a formal rule that it took a super majority to shut down a debate. that was rarely invoked, because it was understood to be against the constitutional premise. but every now and then they would extend the debate even if they didn't have anything to say. that has evolved into an effort to delay everything. it is that silent objection -- the silent filibuster is the way it works -- i said why don't you make them talk. >> right. yep. >> and turns out the rules have never required someone to talk you can object to sample majority, and then it is left to everyone else to summon the super majority to shut down debate. when this is done on a motion to proceed to a bill on the amendments of the bill, on the text of a bill, and each time it basically triggers a number of hours of debate prior to the vote to shut down debate and that then means delays. so you can effectively paralyze the senate and under mitch mcconnell that's what the republicans have chosen to do. >> senator reid has acknowledged several times that he was mistaken in his quashing your effort to reign this why. he said there was a time when they were prophetic it is tonight he said on the floor of the senate. what is your sense on what is going to happen next? >> well, we're going to -- tom and i are going to continue to lead this effort to reform the senate. the social contract that held it together in the past is gone. the main emphasis is two things. create a regular process for amendments so the minority and majority have a chance to present their ideas for consideration. second of all, take -- and if you are going to object to sample majority vote and you say there is more debate needed, you have to be on the floor debating it. the point that there is no one left to say anything we automatically go to the vote. it is one thing to object and go away to dinner and vacation, it is another to object and say i'm going to make my point and spend the next week here and take responsibility for our obstruction. that wouldn't happen on a routine basis. >> this was the point that rob reiner was saying the senate needs to be fixed no matter who is in power. do you fear god forbid that the republicans take over the majority in the senate -- do you know what i'm saying? because a lot of people say this could backfire. >> sure. folks say when we're in the minority, we want to obstruct. and we will support them in the minority or the majority. you have plenty of checks in the system. the committee process, two chambers of the legislative branch, and then the reaction of the american people if these institutions go overboard one direction or the other, and they will replace you with the folks who present different ideas, so you -- but i'll tell you if a different set of ideas were proposed that basically gutted the ability to participate then i wouldn't support those in the majority or minority that's why this is part of the package we put forward. >> you can look at any chart that shows this is beyond unprecedented the use of the filibuster in this last republican congress, right? >> absolutely. and it's just like you can count on one hand the bills that you are allowed to go forward on a simple majority, and those happen after long negotiation that is almost equivalent to a filibuster. and if we can lock up the legislative process, and nothing will get done then the american people will get frustrated and vote for the folks that are quote out of power. that is so destructive to democracy. it is in the interest of both parties to have a process where you can debate and decide. we have got to get over our fear of the majority making decisions and restore the ability for that to happen. >> senator you know, on another subject i know you have talked a lot about wall street reform. mitt romney said yesterday the unemployment rate of course will plummet under his presidency. and he talks about it's too much regulation that is causing this. your thoughts? >> it's just empty rhetoric. he is talking about returns to the bush strategy that lead to the meltdown of our entire economy. so i think the challenge has to be for him to put forward specific proposals and then weigh those. in fact every proposal should be tested on both fronts. it's one of the reasons i have put forward this idea of saying let's take programs take one third to the deficit, one third to infrastructure, one third to education, and that way we both reduce the deficit and increase jobs at the same time. and it is that approach that should be put forward. >> yep. how do you feel thus far -- the debate is going in terms of his record at bain capital and this whole argument about free enterprise or private equity. >> a favorite tactic at places like bain is to buy a company, put it into bankruptcy strip the pension off of it and you end up with a company that sometimes is destroyed by that process, and oftentimes working families that are greatly injured by that they have been there 25 30 years, and suddenly their pension is taken away. great profit for bain but great destruction to the families so i think it is an issue of brood debate. >> senator i think you have hit on the absolute key to this. romney says there is always win ores and losers in business. interestingly bain always won. >> yeah. really. and if you take and look at world war ii through now, you would find that in the period through 1974, from world war ii to 1974 as productivity increased real wages for workers increased, and from 1974 until now. we have a process in which workers -- real wages have been flat and declining in the last ten years, while the real wealth in america has increased. so workers are getting squeezed and that's in part due to companies like bain. >> yes exactly. senator, thank you. >> thank you. >> i hope he is able to get that done. >> it's not right to say i'm more sorry than i am. >> could i have some nostalgia music. our friend said mitt romney gave a vague detail-free speech yesterday on education, and confirmed as if there was any doubt how far back he would take us. he includes former education secretary rob paige and other officials from george officials from george wbush. romney's position on indication have evolved over time. >> i thought we turned that page. >> they call him flipper, flipper -- >> he once supported no child left behind but now comes out against the policy. and it was never any good because they underfunded it and overtested -- >> whatever! >> their race to the top competition for example have encouraged states to lift caps on the number of charter schools, and doesn't leave a lot of room for romney to draw contrast to president obama. many republicans praised obama's education policy.

[ dennis ] dollar for dollar, nobody protects you from mayhem like allstate. i have the most common type of atrial fibrillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but my doctor put me on pradaxa instead to reduce my risk of stroke. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) reduced stroke risk 35% better than warfarin. and unlike warfarin, with pradaxa, there's no need for regular blood tests. that's really important to me. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding and seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition like stomach ulcers, or take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners, or if you have kidney problems especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all medicines you take any planned medical or dental procedures and don't stop taking pradaxa without your doctor's approval as stopping may increase your stroke risk. other side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. pradaxa is progress. having afib not caused by a heart valve problem increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you can reduce your risk with pradaxa. >>(narrator) eliot spitzer is on current tv. >>you just have to conclude that the leadership of high finance just doesn't get it. >>(narrator) independent unflinching, and above all politically direct. ♪ >> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, it's the "stephanie miller show"! ♪ i'm walking on sunshine, woe ho ♪ ♪ i'm walking on sunshine woe ho ♪ ♪ it's time to feel good hey all right now ♪ ♪ it's time to feel good ♪ >> caught us doing our research again. >> so they are saying -- >> it was a german word that has -- it sounded like sperm, and i was checking with jim to make sure i wasn't saying anything dirty. >> it sounds like sperm in german and sperm in english are the same thing.
