here s the question. are afraid the president is right if that clean c.r. comes up for a vote, it will pass? no. i m not in the least. but they are theorizing about a bipartisan vote. instead we have bipartisan support in the house and the only person who is trying to ensure that key functions of the government are shut down is the president, harry reid and a number of their democratic congressional allies. we are getting 25 to 35 democrats on all of these votes so why isn t the president opening up the government? again, he wants to use it hostage for his radical spending agenda that s helping bankrupt america and keeping final thought, congressman. we have 195 democrats willing to support reopening the government in the next 15 minutes on your budget, jeb, on your $998 billion budget. take yes for an answer. we ll leave it on that note. i suspect that vote is not going to happen any time soon.
upon the president, why don t you call upon harry reid to take it off the table and pass the full faith and credit act? here s why. when it comes let him explain. go ahead, congressman israel. answer the question that the congressman hensarling just raised. why won t you support that legislation so that there won t be this crisis raising the debt ceiling every few years? for two reasons. number one, because jeb s legislation has the absolute wrong priorities for the middle class. what jeb s legislation says is we can default, they accept the fact that we can default, and if we do, china gets paid first. so if you re on social security, you get in line. if you re on medicare, you get in line. if you re a veteran, you get in line. but an investment bank in china, you are first in line. that s the first reason i oppose this. secondly, it s not necessary. we don t have to have bills ordering the priorities for paying our debt. if republicans will simply agree to pay the credit ca
you know what, we have never had richie havens starting off this morning. this is danny glover s playlist, thanks for being with us. he is an oscar nominated actor and producer of a new documentary shenandoah. i spent time there doing a documentary as well. ryan lizza, the washington correspondent from the new yorker and will cain from the blaze.com. i missed you terribly. it s been 12 hours since we ve seen each other. i get to meet one of my favorite actors, deets from lone some dove. are you from texas? if you don t like lonesome dove, you re in trouble. you might have to switch spots today. i was going to say lethal weapon but everybody says that, right? our starting point this morning, breaking news, hazmat crews are on the scene. a spectacular fire, taking place in ohio. a train was pulling several tankers derailed just before 2:00 this morning. the accident happened in the north end of columbus, which is near ohio state university and the ohio s
about. when they look at exactly what may have caused whitney houston s death, the autopsy is complete. the results are on hold. they re waiting for toxicology reports which they say could take up to eight weeks or longer. whitney houston was found in a bathtub at the beverly hilton hotel on saturday late afternoon. there were some reports that maybe she drowned an there are some sources who said it could have been a combination of drugs and alcohol. radar online is saying that police found prescription drugs in the room. lorazepam, a generic version of valium, xanax, valium. the coroner though is not commenting and says he will not comment until the toxicology results in in in roughly eight weeks. last night though the music industry honored whitney at the grammys. it opened with a prayer from the host, ll cool j. and although she is gone too soon, we remain truly blessed to have been touched by her beautiful spirit and to have her lasting legacy of music to cherish and sh
disappointing to see that the failure of the supercommittee. but, martha, i want to tell you, i think the way people ought to look at this, and jeb hensarling nailed it in the wall street journal this morning, he said this is really a big debate about the role and the size of the government and its relationship to us as individuals, how much of our individual freedom we want the give up to the government, how much we re going to become dependent on the government as opposed to growing opportunities for every american to reach their potential. martha: all right. so that says, you know, if you sit back and you say, look, we have different philosophies on the way to fix things, that tells me that nothing will happen in terms of congress getting anything done, even a budget, you know, put through which we haven t seen in something like 900 days. until there s a presidential election change? until there s 60 senate seats? is that what we re supposed to sit back and accept? no. people sh
