1:40 pm
[ laughter ] ♪ [ female announcer ] each one of us is our own boss. ♪ and no matter where you are in life, ask your financial professional how lincoln financial can help you take charge of your future. ♪ but at xerox we've embraced a new role. working behind the scenes to provide companies with services... like helping hr departments manage benefits and pensions for over 11 million employees. reducing document costs by up to 30%... and processing $421 billion dollars in accounts payables each year. helping thousands of companies simplify how work gets done. how's that for an encore? with xerox, you're ready for real business. how's that for an encore? i've always had to keep my eye on her... but, i didn't always watch out for myself.
1:41 pm
with so much noise about health care... i tuned it all out. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. >> criminal >> criminal charges have been filed now against the sole surviving suspect in last week's marathon bombing. this is revealing on twitter that dzhokhar tsarnaev is charged with mass destruct resulting in death. apparently arraigned in his
1:42 pm
hospital bed. more as we get it but again dzhokhar tsarnaev now charged criminally. >> thank you very much. let's transition to see what's coming up on street signs. >> there are a lot of companies out there making record profits. in some cases, sharing of that wealth with employees. we will ask our guests should shareholders start to reward companies rather than just boosting through cost cutting? it's a great debate and all coming up. some are saying the super cycle is dead. others are saying now is the. >> thanks. we'll see you at 2. take a look at some of the
1:43 pm
damage in st. louis. those floodwaters making many of the roads impassable. the governor has declared a state of emergency in much of that state. the bad news is that there is more rain and snow headed to the battered area. >> i tell you, this is what's preventing the mississippi river from flowing into the city or town of clarksville. right now, this river is
1:44 pm
crested. it's going to be very slow coming down and then the crest will go down river to the south. below that and throughout the week, cape jirado and next week is the big concern. that's when all the snow up north in the dakotas and they feel they have won this round. they feel confident but there are a lot more rounds to come. >> and exploring a bid to buy the tribune company. >> they have done little in the media space, which is why the
1:45 pm
reported interest is drawing speculation that they have used the newspaper to promote small government and more. this includes the times and the chicago tribune. cook industries issuing a statement saying it as an entrepreneurial company. we are continstantly exploring ideas. it is our long standing -- now the la times in particular has drawn interest from news corps as well as a group led by billionaire billionaires the paper is
1:46 pm
becoming a battleground of sorts. it is said that the koch should not own the la times because of their political standpoints. the next step is they will circulate financial data. sue will continue to follow the story. >> we're going to go back up to scott kohn who brought us the news that the department of justice has filed charges against the second suspect one of the big was whether or not he was going to be charged by the department of justice or a military trial.
1:47 pm
what are the advantages? >> i can tell you a little bit more about the criminal complaint just unsealed. it's one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. the penalty for that is life in prison or the death penalty. one of the things considered early on is whether he would be subject to state charges in a state that does not have the death penalty or federal charges that do include the death penalty.
1:48 pm
and white house spokesman pointing out that hundreds of terrori terrorists have been tried and convicted under this law and that people should have faith in the justice system. did the complaint or the arraignment documents include any information as to whether the justice department intends to ask for the death penalty or is that a decision that will come downstream? >> it will presumably come downstream but i think it's a fair bet that they will. i should add that the justice department arraigned him in his hospital bed. >> let me bring in john and
1:49 pm
brian. we were going to talk about something else but this trumps a all. two gentlemen have law degrees. >> the court can arraign without a grand jury proceeding. and so, i think, you know, this is a very good thing to be doing outside of the military. we can show that in the united states there are normal criminal procedures. we don't need to declare him an enemy. that's calling him a soldier, but he's not. he's a terrorist. >> does he have to be present at the time the arraignment was delivered? >> he was arraigned in his
1:50 pm
hospital bed, which means that a federal magistrate came to the hospital and he had representation there. he has been charged. they can come in later and get a grand injury indictment. the complaint is the first step. >> you say he had representation there. i assume that word is very considered on your part, scott? do we know anything more about whether he has or has not been read his miranda rights? >> if he has been charged he probably has been. but it sounds like they delayed that. there was a public safety exception where they can question him about are there other devices planted elsewhere?
1:51 pm
under this public safety exception they could ask him about that without giving him those rights. >> i think -- let me finish up. i'm going to give you credit. what you were saying was very important. whether or not this will be a local case or this is going to be a military court. the fact is by charging him in massachusetts, they are saying we have enough evidence in a court which will be highly visible. they believe they can make a ca case. >> this is a big point when people were saying did he get
1:52 pm
1:55 pm
>> welcome back. we have been combing through more of the charges against dzhokhar tsarnaev. a couple of different notes here. the defendant declined to answer bail questions but did ascent to a probable cause hearing. what would happen at a probable cause hearing? one would assume by that point he will have recovered from the wounds he suffered. >> there is no doubt from what we have seen that there is probable cause to charge him, to hold him.
1:56 pm
>> i'm sorry to read. the fbi searched his dormroom and they found a blackjack et and a white hat of the same general appearance of those worn by bomber 2 at the boston marathon. >> i got it. seems like this is the guy who didn't have the ability to whatever, if he is the person involved. >> it seems -- >> he couldn't even get rid of his clothes. >> and interestingly enough, you read the complaint and it really goes through the events leading up to the bomb iing then they separated. he is working his cell phone, walks away from the cell phone.
1:57 pm
the first bomb goes off. it goes through the carjacking in which one of the brothers holds a gun to the victim's head and demands cash. and then the victim is released. we know the rest of the story. >> we do. scott, thank you very much that will do it for power lunch. >> see you tomorrow. we went out and asked people a simple question:
1:59 pm
how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪
