chats. the house speaker -- >> continue. >> reporter: thank you. john boehner came out and said that house republicans, they oppose the two-month extension over the weekend because it doesn't provide the certainly that americans need, the kind of stimulate the economy in the way that the payroll tax extension they would hope would do. so he made it very clear that they are not ready to budge from their decision. he says they have acted and now it's time for the president and senate democrats to do the same. i think we have a sound bite from speaker boehner. >> now it's up to the president to show real leadership. he said that he won't leave town for the holidays until this bill is done. and the next step is clear. i think president obama needs to call on senate democrats to go back into session, move to go to conference, and to sit down and resolve this bill as quickly as possible. >> reporter: in the absolute immediate term, we know that the senators are not here right now and the house, we're told other than the negotiators, the conferees that are in town to negotiate, it's expected that the house is also heading out as it doesn't seem at the moment that there's much to negotiate. brooke? >> do house republicans think that they can wait this one out? >> that's a great question. and that's really kind of the question on both sides that a lot of people are asking. how is this going to play out? can both sides stare each other down to the point that this will lapse, that this tax cut will expire? it's unclear who will blink, if anyone will blink. there's been a general talk, as you and i have talked about throughout the standoff, both sides will come together to reach an agreement. starting, i would say, a real sense especially today, that that is in question. while there is still time to reach a deal if the two sides can find agreement or if one side decides to give a little bit, there seems to be a question as to whether either side will budge at all. >> kate bolduan, 11 days and counting. thank you. let's go to jessica. we saw the president speak at the top of the daily briefing, essentially speaking to john boehner, who said stop talking politics and take up this bill? >> reporter: that's exactly what he's saying. it's up to house of representatives and speaker boehner to make sure that the taxes don't go up by january 1st. here's the president a short time ago. >> the clock is ticking. time is running out. and if the house republicans refuse to vote for the senate bill, or even allow it to come up for a vote, taxes will go up in 11 days. >> reporter: so you heard kate bolduan just say at the house side they are saying, look, it's up to the senate to act now but here at the white house the message is, the senate has acted. the ball is now in the house's court and the president's message is that the only move left, the only move left is for the house now to vote on that two-month extension that the senate passed and give congress a little bit of time to come back in the new year, whenever they have to do it, and do the full one-year extension. do the one full-year extension to the tax cut. let's point out that the house has not taken a clean up or down vote on that senate extension at all, brooke. >> that's right. that's right. and we should also point out, it's certainly not every day that we see the president pop into the white house daily briefing. i imagine he did so is he and the folks on capitol hill staring down a deadline. >> that's right. there seems to be a one to one correlation between gridlock and the president p poing into the briefing room. they are running out of time to get this done before the new year. so the president is trying to keep the pressure on. and, look, the president's aides believe that politically this issue is on their side. the american people want the payroll tax cut extended. 89 members of the senate voted on a two-month extension. there are four republican senators who have come out with statements asking the house of representatives to vote for the two-month extension. all four of them are up for re-election. but the bottom line, brooke, is that if this doesn't get extended, it can hurt the economy and if the economy is hurt in the long run, that's also bad for the president. so for policy and political reasons, everyone wants this extended, brooke. >> as we keep saying, 160 million americans will be affected if a compromise is not met in 11 days. kim jong-un is the new leader. what kind of signals exactly? >> well, basically, brooke, a very carefully worded statement that i understand was the result of many meetings at the white house yesterday over several hours. basically saying to the north koreans, listen, we're ready to engage when you're ready to engage. secretary clinton saying, we are deeply concerned with the well-being of the north korean people and our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. it's our hope that the new leadership for the kprk will choose to guide their nation on to the path of peace by honoring and respecting the rights of the people. but, brooke, she also went on to say that the united states stands ready to help the north korean people and urges the new leadership to work with the international committee to bring in a new era of peace and stability on the korean peninsula. so not really a strong statement of condolences, kind of not wanting to give credence to kim jong-il but recognizing that there's a mourning period in north korea. but warning once that is over that the international committee is willing to work with this young leadership in bringing north korea back into the fold of the international community. >> thank you so much from the state -- excuse me. from new york. normally you're at the state department. still ahead, if you have a smartphone, it may soon look a lot different. apple versus android. find out who is the winner this this big, big fight. plus, this -- >> crime is out of control. you can't walk out on the street without crimes occurring. >> this little girl is shot two days shy of her 2-year-old birthday. now a local politician says that crimes is so bad that he wants national guards men to walk the streets. the united states has conducted an operation that has killed osama bin laden. >> we're about to give you the largest stories that unfolded live here on cnn. a woman is dragged, undressed, stomped upon and beaten to death. they are calling it the million women march. everyone believes in keeping their promises once a year. but we believe in helping people take steps to keep them every single day. that's why every day we help people across the country get into their first homes. prepare for a comfortable retirement and protect the people and things that matter most. at genworth we believe every day is the right day to take a step toward tomorrow. -why?

>> this is new. all of the women taking to the streets in the million women march. mohammed, thank you. these republicans just picked up a pretty big endorsement. could there be a surprise coming in iowa? we'll take you there live. plus -- >> it was like one big gunshot and then heard just multiple little rounds. i'm looking and i see my little cousin. >> those gunshots hit a toddler. crime is so out of control and the bad guys are running the city. we'll speak live with the man who says it's such an emergency that wants national guards troops right now. don't miss this. after the war, as a japanese coming back from camp, he started a little store on main street in seattle. of course they needed some money, and bank of america was the only bank who would talk to my father. and we've stayed with bank of america. we have four stores now, three in the pacific northwest and one in oregon. my parents would not believe how popular it is now. a louisiana state official says crime in new orleans is out of control. so much so that he is now asking the national guard to be brought in to patrol to city streets. so here's the background. just this past weekend, kyra holmes was gunned down. she was turning 2 around christmas. family members spoke about this little girl who never got to see her first birthday. >> i will never see her go to church, nothing. i have toys under my christmas tree. i have stockings in my house. i don't even want to have christmas this year. now my baby is gone. >> they have a conscience and do what they have to do. because that's my grand baby. and i love her. they just need to turn themselves in. do it for me, have a conscience. please, have a heart, and turn yourselves in. >> i want to bring in louisiana state representative austin who joins me live from new orleans. he's one of the officials who wants to bring the national guard in just as they did after hurricane katrina. i have heard you say that your city is at war. why can't the local police do the job? >> well, we have done a lot after the storms of 2005 but this is totally unacceptable behavior. the local police need help. we've been able to do a lot of different things that are rebuilding our city and infrastructure and we have a select few people going out there and committing heinous crimes in broad daylight, killing people, killing babies. it's intolerable. we must do something about t i have called upon the governor to bring in the national guard. after the storm of 205, people are a lot more comfortable by seeing the national guard on the street of new orleans and made the moral higher. we are doing a lot of good things here. the people of new orleans have a great passion for our city. but we can not allow certain individuals to carry guns and to go out and shoot people on a daily basis in the city. so i've asked for the national guard to create order and also with patrols and help them to take the city back because we are at war and when you are at war, you have to bring in soldiers. >> when you use a word like war, it's quite the word to use. my question is, how has the crime in your city spiralled so out of control? how has that happened? do you have numbers, statistics to justify this level of emergency? >> yes. yes. we are at urban warfare right now. you have people who have drug crimes, drug warrants who are out on -- warrants that they should be in jail. you have people who are proliferating the streets with firearms and the problem is permeating and it's a short-term effect on a long-term problem. we have to rebuild our schools and have better schools and good schools. but what is going on is certain people are going out and creating a problem within our society and it's a negative environment on the positive things that we are doing in our society. and so we have to go back and take our streets back. we are at war and i think these people -- these soldiers can come in and help like they did after hurricane katrina. >> let me jump in because you mentioned that you had reached out to the governor's office. ultimately the green light for the national guard is to come in from the mayor's office. we reached out to mayor landers office. we have a great working relationship with the national guard and they are engaged on a daily basis in the crime fighting work that they are doing in new orleans. we do not plan to ask for troops. sir, did you get the same response and do you plan to challenge that? >> i'm hearing the same response and the mayor is do a really difficult job right now with trying to bring this city back and i applaud his efforts. everybody in the city is working hard. right now what the new orleans police department is doing is not working. we've got to make sure that the people of this city, the people who come to this city and visit this city are protected. we had about 15 shootings on halloween night. that's totally unacceptable. we have to make sure that we protect the people who come here and also have to protect our visitors. we have a lot going oncoming up in this city. we have major supportiporting e coming up. but if we don't get control of this crime problem, then we're not going to have the events come to the city and you're going to see a huge fiscal impact. not even the mention to human lives. >> i understand. we'll have to see if the mayor will -- >> this is occurring on a daily basis. >> and one time is too much. i appreciate it. >> coming up, it's coming down to months of debates and voters are the ones who will have their say. so with two weeks to go, we're going live to gloria borger where she caught up with newt gingrich and what he said had say about his recent drop in the polls and how this race could be very interesting. we'll be right back. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three years we've put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that's thousands of kids learning to love science. ♪ isn't that cool?

>> wow. $45,000 over ten loans. we are speaking federal loans. if the loans are private, that might be a different animal to deal with. but income-base repayment, they are going to ask for documentation, of course. such things as previous tax returns, et cetera. but that's okay. it's going to be well worth it. she may also require some forgiveness along the way and she may have call fied for that having been in the teaching profession. >> consolidate those loans. get the payment started. >> gary, your question comes from john nan. i am considering rolling over several 401(k) plans from former employees. how do the legal protections for the two differ? >> normally you're talking about creditor protection and bankruptcy. 401(k)s have greater protections than i.r.a.s, not all states. but when you roll over, there are great advantages. you have tremendous flexibility and you can get cheaper funds. unless you're really concerned about credit risk, rolling to an i.r.a. often makes a lot of sense. >> send us an e-mail at any time to [email protected]. people with a machine. what ?
