[ boy ] i used to hate eating healthy stuff. but badger likes it, so i do too. i used to have bad dreams, but not anymore. [ barks ] i used to be scared of the basement. but when badger's with me, it's not so bad. president responds and says no, we won't kill americans in cafes. >> calm down, senator. mr. holder is right. even if he doesn't explain the law very well. >> the young guns versus the old guard in the u.s. senate. is this a vision of what's to come in 2014. and later -- >> very sad for the people that will not be able to see the inside of the gorgeous white house. >> a lot of people, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to go in the white house. >> today's the first day that they can't go to the white house. they say tours are a sequester casualty. we continue to watch developing news from south africa. that's where nelson mandela was admitted to a hospital in pretoria this afternoon. doctors say this is all for a scheduled medical check-up to manage some pre-existing conditions. they add at this point there's no reason for alarm. you'll remember the 94-year-old former south african president spent 18 days in the hospital retiring democrat carl levitt. and in a solemn ceremony at arlington national cemetery, the remains of two of "the uss monitor," the ceremony comes 150 years after the civil war sea battle between two of the first iron clad vessels. the union's monitor and the confederacy's merrimac. parts of the monitor have been recovered from the ocean floor and are being restored. next week, president obama will head to the hill to talk to the caucuses on both sides of the aisle. this week, he reached not only across the aisle, but also across town eating dinner at a fancy d.c. restaurant with key members of the republican party. here's what he had to say about it in his weekly radio address. >> in the month ahead there will be more contentious debate and honest disagreement between principled people who want what's best for this country. but i still believe that compromise is possible. i still believe we can come together to do big things, and i know there are leaders on the other side of the aisle who share that belief. >> president obama there in his weekly address, kristen welker standing by at the white house. what's the president going to be talking about when he heads to the hill next week, kristen? >> reporter: craig, good afternoon. i think he will be talking about a whole range of topics and everything from immigration reform to gun control, but i think the focus of these discussions will be on deficit reduction, the sequester. that was certainly the focus from president obama met with rank and file members of congress during this past week, as you mentioned during the lunch and he also had dinner with 12 gop senators. this is really coming against the backdrop of the president being criticized to not reach out to members of congress. it marks a reset, circumventing congressional leaders dealing with the rank and file republicans to try to get something done on deficit reduction. the question is will these conversati conversations actually yield results. one interesting thing that came out of that dinner that president obama had with members of congress. one of the people who attended that dinner, one of the senators said that he actually hadn't been aware of president obama's deficit reduction plan and everything he was willing to offer in terms of spending cuts so it does appear as though these conversations are providing clarity on both sides of the aisle, but how does president obama bring it back to the folds to bring the conversations into legislative results and if you look at the weekly addresses today, craig, you see that both sides are still sharply divided when it comes to deficit reduction. of course, this all comes when we are seeing the effects of the sequester take hold as you mentioned today is the first day that tours are canceled here at the white house and a lot of disappointment here at the nation's capital with people looking forward to touring the white house here. >> kristen welker from 1600 pennsylvania. we'll check back with you later in the hour. >> thanks. >> the president really lead on the charm offensive, we're having dinner with a dozen republican senators, including john mccain and tom cob urn and then he invited the president to the white house for lunch. he's taking it to the hill as kristen just told us. on tuesday he'll go to capitol hill to meet with the democratic caucus. wednesday he'll meet with the house republicans and then on thursday he'll meet with both the democratic and republican senate caucuses. how effective will all of these meetings be? christina bell antonio, and bill snyder, political scientist and resident scholar. good to see both of you. >> good to see you. >> christina, you wrote in a new piece, quote, the cherries blossoms are a few weeks away from peak bloom and olive branches are sprouting up all challenge that with olay facial hair removal duos for fine or coarse hair. first a pre-treatment balm then the effective cream. for gentle hair removal at far less than salon prices. there's no place like home. i really like your new jetta! and you want to buy one like mine because it's so safe, right?
