threat to do so which is effectively amnesty, but it s also a breaking of the social compact between the united states government and the american people. we shouldn t be funding illegal, unconstitutional activity by the president of the united states, and what was very offensive to me is that we weren t even allowed to vote on defunding the president s illegal activity. what we did, in effect, martha, was to fully fund the president s agenda through october 1st of this year. why republicans would do that is beyond me. we had the president of the united states on the upon the lobby on the phone lobbying for passage of john boehner s bill yesterday. so we had john babier and the boehner and the president working together to get this bill passed which fully funds the president s illegal activity. martha: but i think in february that picture could change, and the thinking on john boehner s part and those who stood with him was that once they get to
airports in the world, and that means a lot of people who are going to connect through london and go on elsewhere are also going to be affected. so we have just begun to see chaos. i think important thing to say, however, is we are not seeing a security issue in the sky. that is, there are no near misses or anything like that. obviously, the air traffic controllers are working very hard to negotiate a big choreographed dance in the sky right now, big 747s, etc. but as of now one of the biggest airports in the world shut down as well as a couple of others. we re working it as we speak. bill: that s going to be a mess for the u.k., a mess for the entire continent too. greg, thank you. back to greg talcott and our team there in london in a moment on that. thanks, greg. martha. martha: in the meantime, a massive and deadly storm hitting the west coast, the latest on the so-called sounds friendly, but it s not the
that s been opened in just the past few months, right? reporter: yeah. remember back in october the time capsule that was removed from the iconic lion s head statue also at the massachusetts statehouse. they opened that back in october. treasure-trove of historical artifacts inside it, photographs, autographs from when it was placed in the statue. also campaign buttons for mckinley and teddy roosevelt. but getting back to this new time capsule or this latest, actually, old orer time capsule, martha. as you mentioned, put there in part by sam adams, so i m just hoping they find beer. [laughter] bill: you would. reporter: and i ll volunteer to drink it. martha: thank you, jonathan. it s not going to be cold. bill: breaking news out of london. getting word of travel issues in europe. the entire air space over london is currently closed due to a computer failure. so what does that mean? is that heathrow?
detainee is in my view unknowable. but for someone to say there was no intelligence of value of use, that came from those detainees, once they were subjected to eits, i think that is, lacks any foundation at all. bill: let s talk about that with steven hayes, senior write letter, weekly standard, fox news contributor. good morning to you. good morning, bill. bill: you wrote a piece today called, tortured report. democrats acting if they were in the dark on this the evidence suggests otherwise. explain that. why? no question. look at comments people like nancy pelosi and jay rockefeller made in public, distancing themselves from the report and from the briefings about the details of the techniques that were use, just doesn t hold up. if you go back and look at cia provided timelines and public statements from people like jay rockefeller at the time in support of aggressive interrogations, it strains credulity to believe behind the scenes they were opposing these
autopilot and we will be able to fund our responsibilities. so here we are in the house, being blackmailed, being blackmailed to vote for an appropriations bill. not happy at all. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill. mike, this now moves to the senate. they bought themselves a couple of days here. there will definitely be vocal opposition from the left there as well, right? reporter: martha, no question about that. you can expect possible 2016 presidential contender to be front and center. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren came out early against the package because it would weaken dodd-frank banking regulation. warren urged her allies in the house and senate to stand up and fight. a vote for this bill is a developed for future taxpayer bailouts of wall street. when the next bailout comes, a lot of people will look back to this vote to see who was responsible for putting the
