the senate saying take the deal, senator reid. bill: what the deal was we ll keep the government running but you have to give us the cuts that cover per-day costs for the government up and unking up and running and those cuts came from the white house proposal that would have kicked in a year from now. $4 billion worth of cuts. it s not a lot of money, it s a drop in the bucket but it s symbolic and it shows that the new republicans in the house, the new freshmen, are able to work together with the old guard, remember, everything is everybody is wondering will they work together and they are. the question becomes what happens 14 days from now, will they be able to get another $4 billion in cuts. because the white house will reach a limit as to what they re going to be willing to accept, and the house republicans are not going to want to stop. so the rubber is going to hit the road sooner or later. bill: i got you. look at this poll. gin peeac found that voters are split, 46 perce
bill: you watched the today show, and saw the interview? nd you say it is about time. i did, absolutely, i was like, thank god, finally, where has she been and brooke has an issue with drugs according to reports and has been in rehab and i don t know if she is necessarily that much better but at least she is doing this right thing at this point, for the kids. bill: all kinds of issues with the tiger blood dripping in the house, right? you think that he is his own worst enemy. why? i do. because, he won t shut his mouth and believes his own hype and he thinks he s invincible and, because he s going out saying all of these crazy things and he looks terrible. he looks like he s on drugs. he looks like he s physically deteriorating, and he caused problems with the show, and, how is he now a stand-up citizen, saying i m doing all the right things, you buy a compound and move an ex-porn star in with your two-year-olds? that will not look good for a judge and he s his own worst
keith richards of the rolling stones and that was his goal, kelly, the reputation he wanted. well, that, and he s better than hugh hefner with goddesses and made the statement and, so, again, he s gone out there and, if you remember, you read interviews and seen some where he said he wants to be a porn star and he has great ambitions and none sound to be about being a great father. bill: let s bring it back to that. indeed. two young boys, and they are twins, aged 2. and, taken from him, kelly thanks for coming in, especially on quick notice. okay? thanks. martha: it s the time of the year when students and families across the country start planning their spring break get aways, less than a year after the big oil spill in the gulf, businesses along the gulf coast saying the beaches there are clean but what else can tourists expect? john roberts just returned from there and joins us live, now, with details, john, good morning. reporter: good morning to you, arthel and the bp oil spi
you re talking about a week ago in downtown los angeles, four buck phos a gallon of regular unleaded, that s now spread to a large part of california. and you could also look across the country and you will find there is no longer a $2-gallon of gas. virtually everywhere, virtually every station, is $3 above. and california, the all-important state for gasoline and driving, is now an average of 3.78 a gallon for regular unleaded. so bottom line, bill, we ve got inflation, right here in america, you can feel it, you can see it, that may well result in a slowing of the economy, but it s a direct result of what s been happening in the middle east. bill: just underline the point, when you re trying to get a recovery and solidify it, this is not what you want. stu, thank you. arthel: in spite of that news the top money man in the country, federal reserve chairman ben bernanke, is saying that rising gas prices are not yet posing a threat to the u.s.: the increases that we ve
