1:11 pm
of companies they've spent building. what's going on here is the owners of the kacompany are of catholic faith but the suit was filed in the name of the company. and, of course, a company itself cannot express religious believes. the courts said that the suit could not be filed in the name of the company but in two-to-one decision, they also said forcing the owners to provide birth control would challenge their religious believes. so for now, they're allowing the suit to proceed to challenge the birth control coverage mandate. but -- and here's a big butt. they're about 75 federal lawsuits around the country on this matter. three of them are on appeal at the supreme court. no word on when the court might rule. there's so much legal activity in this part of the affordable care act. >> fredericka? >> all right. thanks so much for bringing that to us. it's going to be a pretty busy week in politics. we'll look at what to expect

there's going to be a lot of attention in virginia. >> hey, fred. chris christie. he's one of the biggest names in the republican party. the polls indicate the tough-talking new jersey governor will easily win re-election over democratic state senator. christie's chris cross across the state. he's thinking of running for president in 2016. but he says it won't distract from his day job. >> i can deal with this job and deal with my future. that's exactly what i will do. the re-election campaign is a likely bid for the white house. keep an eye out for how large a victory he scores in new jersey. across the hudson river, polls provide another landslide with democratic bill deblasio
1:17 pm
ahead 40 points in the race for the mayor of the nation's biggest city. deblasio, new york's public advocate is running on a progressive platform. >> after 12 years of mayor bloomberg, it's time for a new change in in town. >> there hadn't been a democratic mayor in almost 20 years. the battle for virginia governor is the closest of the major contest this year. with low turn out expected, both campaigns are bringing in top-end surrogates. the federal government shutdown and the national health care law have become big issues in this party they control for a crucial purple state. >> thanks so much, paul. this will be a pivotal week for the president and for his party. he's trying to get some of his
1:18 pm
nominees confirmed in a senate where gop leaders are throwing up roadblocks. and his administration will, again, be working to kbet his health departmentca health care web site back on track. >> good to see both of you. >> really rotting president obama's second term saying that on meet-the-press today. trud or a little bit of sour grapes. >> well, i don't know why this was the moment that mit romney chose to kind of come back and spring back on to the national stage when it comes to health care. but i have think what he said was largely right. the president's biggest legislative achievement is obama care. and he won reelection, at least
1:19 pm
partly on the fact that the american people believed in his policy vision, including that victory. now it needs to be implemented and they have this huge probable with the web site. beyond the web site is this whole idea of being able to shop and choose your health care policy. and then after that, it's going to be health care delivery. i think the american people, if you look at the president's approval ratings, are very concerned with what they see. >> so julia, the president was in boston earlier this week touting health care and complimenting romney for that state's health departmentcare law only to say that the president should have learned better from massachusetts. so is the president being up staged by all of this criticism? >> no, i think this is sour grapes. another example of republicans overplaying their hand when romney had a very similar plap imp lechlt implemented in massachusetts. most of the people went on to the medicaid program. it's very simple what's happening at the federal level. keep in mind, it does not affect
1:20 pm
80% of americans. another 30% through medicaid or through the military: only 20% of americans don't have insurance or get their snurnsz in the individual markets. that's the 20% that would be eligible. that's a pool of approximately 60 million people. what they need to get these exchanges to work is prrksly 7 million participating. all of the analysis shows certainly for the uninsured this is going to be a far bet eer deal right now, everyone for the 15 million. kaiser says they're going to get much, much better deals for most of them that premiums are lower. 47% of americans like obama care or wanted stronger. only a 35 wanted to go to the
1:21 pm
republican plan which is go back to the status quo before obama care. so i think the president is winning the argument in the long term here. >> it seems like the critics are getting most of the attention and some of the same critics are threatening to throw up these roadblocks for the president's nominations this week. we're hearing everything from, you know, threatening to hold up the nominations unless the white house reveals more about benghazi. is this extortion or the way washington works, maet. >> this is the way that this is a polarized political moment. i think that the republicans feel a little oxygen in their lungs after all the problems surrounding the shutdown and the fact that obama has the lowest approval ratings. it has given them a new vim and vigor to fight. this fight over obama care is big. the problem for second term presidents, we saw this with the
1:22 pm
president i worked for, the problem for those presidents is that as their poll numbers go down, it is harsh for them to have political victories all across the staits. if he can't get this obama care problem fixed. >> i think obama care problem, again, i think the roll out of the web siet has been a disaster. i think it's a temporary probable. obama's numbers have been lower in the past. i think -- again, i think republicans are exaggerating and overplaying their hand on the health care issue. in terms of the question about the polarization, yes, there's no question. there's incredible polarization over everything. notice we don't really talk much about jobs today or the president's proposal to get the country moving again on a more vigorous jo shs plan. they lost the debate badly on the government shutdown. as i say, the poll numbers, any
1:23 pm
honest reading, shows that the repbly cans are not winning the debate. >> let me be clear, only 26% of americans ak actually say obama care is going to improve health care. >> and abilities that many -- >> yeah, that's true. bud if you look at the polls, you can't look at it that simply. another 25 or 27% that want it even strojer. far, far fewer americans like the republican idea which is to go back to the status quo. so everyone though the president has had a hard time with the roll out of this health care, i concede that. the republicans are not winning the debate, including hemtcare. >>. >> there's an awful lot of attention by simply virtue of the name. and she is yet to everybody say that she is running in 2016. but new york senator, chuck schumer in iowa, throwing his
1:24 pm
support for her. let's listen in to what he had to say while in iowa. >> it's time for a woman to be president. and so tonight, here in iowa, and i won't get this opportunity again, i am urging hillary clinton to run for president. and when she does, she will have my full and unwaivering support. >> all right, jullian, you first. these very public nudges, accolades. will this inspire her to say something that yes, she is running. >> well, everybody is on this band wagon now. i think if you polled democrats, you'd find 90% of democrats and many independents wanted her to run. most people think she would win the general in part because of the enthusiasm she would generate because of independent women voters. ip think the thing that you have to keep in mind, this is a very
1:25 pm
personal decision for secretary clinl ton. she's not only committing to a campaign, she's committing to 11 years right now. three years of campaigning and eight years of governing ining wins. >> matt, real quick, if she were to run, is she going to distance herself from a former boss, good friend, president obama because of his, you know, dipping approval numbers? >> well, let me tell you. that decision will be made at that moment when she looks at those numbers. if his numbers are just going south right now, she mooigt do what al gore did and kind of leave him behind. i would ntd be surprised if that's the case of obama care. >> good to sew both of you. thanks so much from washington. >> and we'll be right back with much more on "the news room" after this.
1:29 pm
vrjts all right, bottom of the hour. welcome back. three stories trending on cnn.com right now. first up, cher can't seem to forget her late husband, sonny bono. the singer and actress was asked a whole lot of questions about the husband she divorced in 1975. skrrks her asked if sonny were still arrive today but you only had a minute to talk to him, what would you say? cher's response? how hot is it where you just came from. ouch. number 2, "saturday night live" has attack all the criticism. he's not playing black female characterers to protest the fact that there are no black women on the cast.
1:30 pm
she rushes off stage and comes back as oprah winfrey. >> a member of the rock band has not been heard from since being moved to a new jail. they say they were supposed to be notified within 10 days of her transfer, but they haven't heard anything and they are worried. she was sent to two years in prison. craft's mack and cheese will become healthier and maybe even a little less yellow. the company is making it more nutritious by adding more whole grains to the macaroni. they will also remove artificial food dyes and saturated fats. >> after hundreds of thousands of parents signed a petition, skrks raft is changing its formula. these are products that have had
1:31 pm
a very similar format. so what they said, they were taking outless controversy. they're going to reach the amount of grain. parents want more knew trishsz foods. >> now, it's important to note that the changes won't be in all of their products. their original mac and cheese is still going to have the same coloring. craft says they're going to be using natural colorings to get what they're looking for. stragtsd ahead, toronto's mayor tells the city's police chief to go ahead, release that controversial video.
1:32 pm
a video police says shows the mayor smoking from a crack cocaine pine. he's also working off stage to give the voice to a serious disease in this week's impact your world. >> country singer clint black is phone for his signature cowboy hat and classic sounds. beyond the music, black is supporting the fight against the disease teret's system. >> she lost her battle with it at age 16. rhet syndrome almost always affects girls. it's usually diagnosed within 18 months. children can't communicate and require constant care. there is no cure yet. >> i think the human knee jerk
1:33 pm
action is to look away. by the more i see, the more i see the families and how hard they fight, the more realize we can be the look away. >> black is the ambassador for the rhet syndrome foundation. he says it all comes back to family and the music. >> i'm a song writer. i do a lot of self examination, soul searching. so i've always felt inclined to do what i can. as i fight for my own successes, i feel like a part of the battling has to be for those things i can help along the way. ♪

toronto's mayor admitted publicly today that he has made mistakes. he also said that he has no plans to resign. >> the police chief, bill blare, to release this video for every single person in the city to see. that is the right thing to do. and, chief, i'm asking you to release this video now. whatever this video shows, whatever this video shows, folks, toronto residents deserve to see it. and people need to judge for themselves what they see on this video. >> and those who have seen that video say that you will see that mayor smoking a crack cocaine pipe. all right. join me now to talk more about

what might happen next to the mayor of toronto. i'm joined by daniel moss. she's a criminal defense attorney. and page pate, also a criminal defense attorney and a constitutional lawyer. all right, daniel, let me begin with you. clearly, this mayor has talked to his attorney before challenging, almost taunting the police chief. why taunt the police chief or challenge the plus chief to go ahead and launch this video? >> i find it difficult to believe that his attorney would advise him to act in this manner. it seems more so that this is in keeping with his personality. he's a very gregarious person, very loud. i think it's just his dgsz to do this. i don't know if it's necessarily advice that he's received from counsel. i believe as an attorney, i would advise him not to speak on this matter. i'm certainly not going to advise him to taunt the police
1:39 pm
chief to release the video. >> he doesn't necessarily say yes, you know, i was that person on that video tape reportedly smoking crack cocaine. but instead, i have made mistakes. >> he's basically saying there's something i did wrong, but it's not as bad as the chief was saying. lawyers will routinely tell their clients not to answer questions about evidence in the media. but public officials are different. i've represented some elected officials before. no comment is got necessarily the best response. this guy has an election next year. i think his position is, look, enough speculation. you have the stap. stap. you've told everybody you think it's me. well, let's see it. and then we can respond to it and defend it. >> he might also be calculating the what's next? >> well, it's my understanding
1:40 pm
that canadian law, the only way he's fired is if he's convicted of a crime, which would be the possession of crack cocaine or drug par faal ya. >> apparently, the police said they have a 400 page report on drug gapgs. not only is there video, but there are some other images that put the mayor in crack houses interacting with people who are suspected to either be drug dealers or drug users. >> it's not the video. the video grabs the headlines. umt matly, in any criminal investigation, it's the facts. he has his driver, an admitted friend, involved in an extortion allegation. i think there's a lot more to
1:41 pm
the case than just the video. that's what we're going to see. >> what's likely missing from this case? >> any hard evidence that the mayor is personally involved in drug distribution. maybe if they end up charging his friend and his droifer, he's going to cooperate with the government. he's going to say, look, you need to know more things about the mayor that you know. and then the video becomes important. glt we've got much more. we want to talk about another what is now a highly publicized case. the kevin johnson case, the 17-year-old boy who was found dead, rolled up in a high school gym mat in georgia. his death was ruled an accident first, but his parents blooech
1:42 pm
from the start of a federal investigation next. man: sometimes it's like we're still in college. but with a mortgage. and the furniture's a lot nicer. and suddenly, the most important person in my life is someone i haven't even met yet. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. as you plan your next step,
1:43 pm
we'll help you get there. you'd do that for me? really? yeah, i'd like that. who are you talking to? uh, it's jake from state farm. sounds like a really good deal. jake from state farm at three in the morning. who is this? it's jake from state farm. what are you wearing, jake from state farm? [ jake ] uh... khakis. she sounds hideous. well she's a guy, so... [ male announcer ] another reason more people stay with state farm. get to a better state.
1:45 pm
1:46 pm
7-year-old kendra johnson. officials say johnson suffocated while he was reaching for a shoe. back now with me, danielle, the feds are now going to be involved in this investigation. what will they be looking for that perhaps ga dwa authorities may have overlook or may have even collected. >> i broelieve what the feds ar going to look at now is the hours and hours of surveillance tape thavgs out there. it appears it was not looked through properly by the sheriff's department and to try to interview more of the students and determine exactly who was there and also whether or not the investigation was contaminating. >> so, page, are federal investigators involved here because they see that the
1:47 pm
investigation was not done so early? or was there something that was gathered that they just saw through a different lens and said you know what, this now reaches the level of our invo e involvement. >> it's very unusual for the federal authorities to step in and review an investigation. i think what we heard from the family retaining their own medical examiner, their own pathologist, to look at the body again is inconsistent with what the gbi expert said. >> that's a big difference. and that's really hard, i think, even for the laymen to say how do you con fiez blunt force trama with suffocation?
1:48 pm
>> pathology is science, but there's an art to it. different exz perts will have different opinions. in many criminal trials, you'll hear a sde fence expert, you'll hear a state's expert. but those witnesses won't always agree. this is the feds coming in to have this third look at it to make a determination of which one was right. >> we 'ta're talking about 11 ms now. do you worry that the evidence has been so compromised that there's no way to really conduct a thorough investigation this far out? >> it's problematic. we've seen this before with many other cases. where crime scenes have been contaminated and it's very difficult to kbet that evidence back. so that's a problem now. but i have do believe there's enough po tenl shl evidence that they may be able to find something to help the family. >> danielle is right. the colder a case gets, the more difficult it becomes to investigate.
1:49 pm
but there's a lot of stuff out there that they didn't look at. the feds can't just prosecute them if they think there's a crime. what does your gut say? >> to me, it looks like a sloppy investigation until you get to the point where they open the body and there's a bunch of newspaper in there. the funeral home said it wasn't us, it was the profession cow tor. >> and i believe that there's a lot of forensic evidence aside. the idea that this child fell into this mat, if in fact,he's reaching from the sneaker, why are his arms not in front of him.
1:50 pm
why are sneakers on the top of his body. is there's there's plenty of inconsistency ins this case. each week, we're shining the spotlight on the hero that is moegs inspire you. students unable to log on are less likely to dpraj watt from high school. >> i grew up in the segregated south. i started picking things at age six. my father, i used to hear him
