>> reid: in a week, yes. and, you know, maybe that's an overestimate, but even if it's in a month, that's a lot. >> pelley: we wanted to find out why the mara river seems to be drying up, so we headed north to its source, the mau forest. the first thing you notice are wheat fields where the trees used to be. and beyond the expanding farms, we headed toward smoke on the horizon. the trip brought us here. we're about five miles from the mara river. this isn't a wheat field yet, but it soon will be. what happens before the forest becomes a wheat field is that charcoalers move to the area and cut down the trees to make one of the principal fuels for cooking. the mau forest is falling to a growing population that's trying to make a living off the land. for centuries, the mau has been a sponge, holding and releasing waters into the river. to scientists, the equation is simple-- if there's no mau forest, there's no mara river, and that means no migration. now, saving the mau forest has become a crisis in kenya, pitt

went into effect in the united states would rather quickly be eight by other nations and yet harry reid wants to claim that this is a jobs bill you know so anyway i think the people and people in congress need to really take note that this might push business out of the country alexis thank you so much for joining us tonight and it's exciting you know we like i said we've been talking about for months it's exciting to see this massive action online and i hope that it continues thanks will think you. are you guys it's time for a special edition of our tool time award not only we have three winners today but they're all washington power players that are backing sopa and pipa lamar smith harry reid and chris dodd they've all seen plenty of time on capitol hill they are all very familiar with the process of pushing bills through congress pushing bills through congress excuse me and they're using that power so it started perhaps the worst offender who is lamar smith he's the chairman of the house judiciary committee and he's been on board with sopa from the very beginning and in fact he wrot

send harry reid the message, what's up with that? and i will be followed by my good colleague from texas, bill florez. >> thank you. good morning. what a coincidence that on the day the president talks about the state of the union, it will be the same day without a thousand days without a senate passed a budget. the president is going to try to tell the american people that economic state of the union is to come but americans know better. we have had over 35 months of over 8% of unemployed or quit massive uncertainty in the private sector, and a lot of that starts right here in washington, d.c. because we have overreaching regulations. we got out of control deficits, and we've got a senate they can't even pass the most basic policy statements in that, the federal budget. my granddaughter is not quite a year old yet, and what she's telling me, even though she doesn't say very much, is that mr. reid, we can't wait. we can't wait for you to do your job. we can't wait for you to pass a budget that's responsible that doesn't take the burd

twitter and so here's why because at the moment you know what's been done with paper although harry reid is still pushing forward with it so they say that it might be postponed you know how congress likes to wear it and they're going to try to do it sneakily at some other time so charles gabriel asked a question if so but actually becomes law. and red is gone what do you plan to work on next and that's a good that's a good question what do you do do you leave the country and go start your business elsewhere that's depressing cards and so to be clear i am no longer c.e.o. of reddit i'm on the board of directors the team at reddit is running it all it's obviously doing a great job i give advice right and last year i started in the story with a buddy of mine steve who's my cofounder read it called it like it's a travel search website and fortunately because it doesn't have user generated content it is. it is the kind of thing that would kind of awkwardly fall into that very gray area if these bills were to become law and so as an entrepreneur for a site like that and like all the others tha

>> hello, reid. i recently read your article about mitt romney and his trouble getting the hispanic vote. more importantly, how do you see him doing in florida? i know that he showed with a lead over newt gingrich in the last poll. it is looking like a big win for him tonight. i know that in 2008 john mccain overwhelmingly took the hispanic vote. how you see hispanic " getting behind mitt romney in future? guest: thank you for the question. -- hispanic vote getting behind mitt romney in future? guest: thank you for the question. the hispanic populations are rising so fast, and you are right, mitt romney did very well in 2008. amongst hispanics, he did very poorly. rudy giuliani took 24%. mitt romney has to turn that around, if he is going to win tonight. we cited a number of surveys from yesterday that had mitt romney up by 20. all of the reliable polls have mitt romney leading by double digits. he is likely going to do well amongst hispanics, as he is made such an effort to reach out to hispanic vot

reid: we started this morning about 11:00. we had to invoke cloture on this bill, which was supposedly a bill that everyone wanted. it is too bad we had to invoke cloture on it, but we d we've been working all day to set up roll call votes. all day. we naught we had one a few minutes allege, buminutes ago, s came over and said, there will not be a vote on that unless there are votes on mine, even though their amendments are not relevant or germane to the subject matter here. i appreciate senator lieberman, susan collins, they're fine legislators. they understand what this body is all about and how important this legislation is and how important they are as managers of this bill. so they're negotiating on several the amendments. but at some point, mr. president, this becomes ridiculous. to have senators come over here and say they're not going to allow a vote on an amendment unless they're guaranteed votes on nongermane, nonrelevant amendments and then people criticize me for not having an open amendment process? it becomes a c

reid wilson, you've been following these candidates hither and yon. tell me how is mitt romney positioned now in south carolina? >> well, mitt romney comes to south carolina from new hampshire in first place and with momentum behind him. he's already won the first two contests in this cycle and the last reliable poll conducted last week by cnn and "time" magazine shows he's at about 37% which is twice what rick santorum and newt gingrich have. as well add in a little rick perry and there you have the entire story of the campaign so far. a social conservative vote that's being split among a number of candidates and the more fiscally conservative more socially moderate section of the south carolina electorate lining up behind romney. nobody's splitting his vote. the other vote is being split at least three ways. >> ifill: professor woodard, does the landscape look like that to you? >> it looks pretty much like that. i think rand paul... excuse me, ron paul is playing a larger role maybe than we thought before but the main issue social conservatives are

let's turn to joy-ann reid, msnbc contributor and managing editor of thegrio.com. also msnbc political analyst richard wolffe and democratic strategist krystal ball. great to have you all with us tonight. if the economy keeps rising, richard, what happens to the republican challenger? aren't they kind of hoping on bad news economically? a lot of good stuff is out there right now. >> could be a little bit. especially if you built your entire premise of your candidacy on beating obama on the economy, and that's the position of mitt romney. you know, if you're rick santorum, maybe there's something else you can go for, manufacturing critique, you can go after the social values, but for romney, the whole premise is i understand about the economy, this guy's never even seen the working economy. so, you know, the economy turning around doesn't just affect the underlying numbers, it's the fundamental premise. think back to the election, by the time he got to the general election, it wasn't iraq, people didn't care about iraq, they cared about the economy. so if the story

obviously far from over but there was a noble victory against it today senate majority leader harry reid has changed his mind on voting on the protect i.p.x. after one hundred twelve congressman spoke out against the bill and a very successful online protest and mobilization earlier this week and it tweet earlier today reid said in light of recent events i've decided to postpone tuesday's vote on the protect ip act they are both listed now as delayed meaning that they could be brought back brought back or left to die but for now there are no plans in either house or the senate to vote or further debate on either bill so that's basically a tally in the will win column after all harry reid was just on meet the press last sunday extolling the virtues of pippa as a job creating bill and he's not the only one the thinking is we'll see senator chuck schumer a sponsor also took to twitter to tell opponents that congress is in fact paying attention to its constituents tweet it you've been hurt people has been polled so we can find a better solution and we should note that pipa sisters bill sr bi

reid: mr. president, i would object to further proceedings with respect to this bill at this time. the presiding officer: the objection, having been heard, the bill will be placed on the calendar under rule 14. mr. reid: mr. president, for a few weeks in march, 2010, alan frumin was one of the most talked about men in the entire city of washington. the senate was poised to send an historic health care bill to president obama's deck for him to sign -- desk for him to sign. but the usually procedural hurdles stood in the way. health care policy staffers were camped out in alan frumin's office studying senate procedure and precedent. despite the pressure, despite the national spotlight, mr. frumin remained calm and professional through what must have been one of the most tense moments of his career. for a very few weeks, every capitol hill reporter knew his name for sure. his respectable face was on every political news blog. every political science professor talked about him. even a few folks out

well i actually like senator reid's misunderstanding of what protect is i mean i pieced in this bill's answer and for me it's in for informational prop no no it stands for intellectual property manager so as this is going to we're messed up but this is. the motion picture association of america in the recording industry is talking points he's saying that the one way we can protect jobs is to protect intellectual property and if this is an american export business and so on the counterargument is that there are a lot more jobs produced by silicon valley in the i.t. industry in hollywood we think that every business has computers and uses the web and so on this has been a major economic growth engine more so than hollywood and it's about but this is really just echoing of the talking points there and he's saying that we need to protect i intellectual property well sure but that's like saying we need to help law enforcement that but that doesn't mean we want to see ben curtains out because it would help police solve crimes by eliminating privacy i mean there's a balance and protect i go p
