engines, assembled in ohio. tail fin comes from right down the road in frederickson. and the people in every one of these communities, some of whom are here today, they're benefiting from the work that you do. all those workers, they spend money at the local store. they go to restaurants. so the service economy is doing better because you're doing well. what's happening here in everett can happen in other industries. it can happen not just here but in cleveland and pittsburgh and raleigh. we can't bring every job back. anybody who says we can, they're not telling you the truth. but right now it's getting more expensive to do business in places like china. meanwhile, american workers have never been more productive. and companies like boeing are finding out that even when we

can't make things faster or cheaper than china, we can make them better. our quality can be higher. and that's what america's about. that's how we're going to compete. during the state of the union i issued a challenge to america business leaders. i said, ask yourselves what you can do to bring and create jobs here in this country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed. and i'm encouraged. we're actually seeing a number of companies, large and small, domestic, even foreign companies recognizing, you know what, we're going to -- we're going to open new facilities and create new jobs here in america. this is a good place to work. this is a good place to be. and our job as a nation is to make it easier for more of these companies to do the right thing.

that starts with our tax code. right now companies get tax breaks for moving companies and jobs overseas. meanwhile, companies that choose to stay in america get hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. that doesn't make any sense. so, my message to congress is, what are we waiting for? let's get this done right now. let's make some changes to the tax code. and let's follow some simple principles. first, if you're a business that wants to outsource jobs, that's your choice, but you shouldn't get a tax deduction for doing it. that money should be used to cover moving expenses for companies that are deciding to bring jobs back home. that's who should be getting tax breaks. second, no american company

should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. my attitude is every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. you should not have an advantage by building a plant over there, over somebody who's investing here and hiring american workers. and every penny of that minimum tax should go towards lowering taxes for companies like boeing that choose to stay and hire here in the united states of america. number three, if you're an american manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut. if you're a high-tech manufacturer, we should double the tax deductions you get for making your products here. and finally, if you want to relocate in the community that's been hard hit by factories leaving town, then you should get help financing that new plant or financing that equipment or training for new

workers. everett, it is time to stop rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas. reward companies that are creating jobs right here in the united states of america. congress should send me these tax reforms. i'll sign them right away. now, another thing we're doing to support american jobs is making it easier for businesses like boeing to sell their products all over the world. two years ago i set a goal of doubling u.s. exports in five years. we're on track to meet that goal. we're actually ahead of schedule. so, last november when i was in indonesia, boeing announced a deal with the help of the export/import bank to sell more than 200 planes to one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. boeing is one of the largest exporters in america.

this is one of the biggest deals boeing had ever done. over the years it will help support thousands of american jobs, including jobs here in everett. so, i tease jay every time i see him. i said, you know, i deserve a gold watch because i'm selling your stuff all the time. i will go anywhere in the world to open up new markets for american products. and by the way, i will not stand by when our competitors don't play by the rules. that's why i directed my administration to create a trade enforcement unit that just has one job. investigating unfair trade practices in countries like china or places like europe. >> just this week the vice president of china was visiting the united states.

of course, met with president barack obama and the trade relations between these two countries in many cases thorny. here you're listening to president barack obama in everett, washington, at a boeing production facility addressing the workers and machinists there and making several points about his plan to boost american exports abroad. also this is not the only thing president obama is doing in washington. he has several fund-raising events for his re-election campaign. on so, we're going to leave that live event right now that is occurring in washington state. i'm in for brooke baldwin this hour. well, we are going to tell you about other interesting stories we are following this hour in our "rapid fire" and we start with syria. fighting once again across the country, reportedly claiming 56 more lives. but even amidst the violence, syrians by the thousands are taking to the streets to voice their opposition to the regime of their president bashar al assad. also in syria, sad news for

our profession. journalist anthony shadid has died. his employer, "the new york times," says the cause of shadid's death is not precisely clear but there is strong indications that the 43-year-old reporter may have suffered an asthma attack brought on by exposure to horses being ridden by his guides. he'll speak -- we will speak in a few moments with shadid's father, buddy shadid, live from oklahoma city on the death of his son. both houses of congress passed legislation today extending the payroll tax cut. president obama has promised to sign it as soon as it gets to his desk. the extension impacts 160 million americans who already pay a smaller amount towards social security. here's an example. a person making $50,000 a year will continue to bring home an extra $83 a month. also among the stories we are following, a barge collision, an oil spill near new orleans, shut down a five-mile

stretch of the mississippi river this morning. no injuries are reported. oil is no longer spilling out of the barge but officials aren't saying just how much escaped into the river. boons have been placed around the area to stop the oil from spreading. a dispute between two u.s. immigration agents erupts into gunfire at the federal building in long beach, california, last night. officials say one agent who had been threatened with disciplinary action pulled his gun and wounded his supervisor several times. a third agent came in and shot and killed the gunman. >> at this time, we believe this was an isolated incident. we believe the shooter was an acting alone. >> the wounded agent is reported in stable condition at a long beach hospital following surgery. also, johnson & johnson is recalling 547,000 of grape-flavored infant tylenol. the bottles were distributed

throughout the country. the recall was issued after parents complained with problems using the device to measure dose. let's get to jason carroll live from newark, new jersey, where flags are at half-staff for whitney houston. today houston's family had personal time to pay their respects to the singer. >> reporter: right. what we're hearing is that a private viewing is taking place -- or will take place at a certain point today at wigham funeral home located ten minutes from where i am now. we had a moment to go over to the funeral home. you saw a large police presence in front. they were putting up barricades. in addition to that on the side of the funeral home, some sort of a white tent was set up so if people were to come there and wanted privacy, they would be able to have that. the wigham funeral home is not confirming that, but this is a source that is telling us that a private viewing is, in fact, will take place today. in terms of what's happening where i am now at the church,

new hope baptist church, it's really what's going to be happening tomorrow. that is when we're going to have the private service for whitney houston. as you can imagine, a number of people still out here. they are gathering, bringing flowers and balloons. people are really getting the sense this is the last moments they're really going to have before the funeral to pay their respects because when the service does take place here tomorrow, the closest the public will be able to get will be at least two blocks away. obviously, a lot of folks are upset there's not going to be a public service. but not everybody is upset. take a listen. >> i'm happy that the family took the position to make it private because this is her. this is who she really is. this is who she really is. and the family has the right to do it. >> i understand where the family's coming from when they're asking for their privacy, so, yes. even though i wish, too, that a little bit of something would have been for the public.

>> reporter: and the guest list just keeps growing in term of who will be performing tomorrow during the service. folks like aretha franklin, stevie wonder, alicia keys also will be performing, kevin costner, her co-star from "the body guard" will be speaking tomorrow as well. there had been some question in terms of whether or not bobby brown would be here tomorrow. but we are now hearing, despite all of the rumors from before, that he, too, will be attending. once again, it will be a private ceremony. not open to the public. police are saying anyone wishing to come by should simply stay away and, instead, watch and pay your respects from home. >> thank you. i have a special guest this hour, bill cosby, we'll talk about how much the cost of on a quality education is getting to be and more. stick around for that. plus, is this character building or just plain mean? a mother makes her son walk to school after he gets kicked off the bus. see if you agree with how all of

this was handled. a significant step for one of america's most prominent catholic leaders. arch bishop timothy dolan will to be elevated to cardinal at vatican.

moroccan living in alexandria, virginia. he was living in the u.s. illegal. he had various targets in mind for the alleged plot and finally settled on the capitol. he had previously considered, according to this official, a military installation, a synagogue and a restaurant where military and government people would be likely to gather. but he finally settled on the u.s. capitol building, according to a law enforcement official. this official says he came to the attention of law enforcement because of extremist views that he had espoused and that in december, he had started, quote, moving down the path towards conducting an attack. that's a quote from the law enforcement official. this official told us that at the point of his arrest, he thought he had met al qaeda members who would assist him, but they turned out to be undercover agents. this official said he's been under close watch for the past couple of months and that the public was not in danger from this plot.

today as the suspect was meeting with undercover agents, he had arranged to meet them at a parking garage near capitol hill. he thought he was going to be picking up a suicide vest. that vest was rendered inoperable by law enforcement. that is at the point where he was arrested. the suspect, we have a name now, amin khalifi, a 29-year-old moroccan national living illegally in the united states, who had tried to at least according to one law enforcement official, had various targets in mind but finally settled on the u.s. capitol building and was thwarted in that attempt. >> thanks very much, brian todd with the latest on this investigation that led to an arrest, an alleged bomb plot, targeting the u.s. capitol in washington, d.c. brian was reporting there, a name on the suspect, a 29-year-old moroccan amin khalifi. thanks very much, brian. i think there are some stories that are worth taking risks for.

distressing news for our industry and anyone interested in consumer of high-quality journalism. it happened in syria today. pu journalist anthony shadid died, making the dangerous trek from syria to turkey. he entered syria without a visa to cover the revolt by bashar al assad. his employer, "the new york times," says the cause of shadid's death is not precisely clear but strong indications that the 43-year-old reporter may have suffered an asthma attack brought on by exposure to the horses being used by his guides. this is a huge loss for readers around the globe, but an even

bigger loss, of course, to the loved ones of anthony shadid. joining us now on the phone from oklahoma city, buddy shadid is anthony's father. first off, mr. shadid, really our heartfelt condolences to you on this very tragic day. you said, there is some measure of comfort, after the passing of his son, truly his entire profession just went into immediate mourning. he was admired by so many, including myself. your son truly, some are saying, probably the best reporter of his generation. >> thank you. >> tell us how you were told and really over the last few hours how difficult this has been.

>> his wife called me. he was in turkey with their son, waiting for him to come out of syria. they were on a vacation. they were all excited. and they called her on her cell phone and she called me. i couldn't believe it. >> so very sorry for your loss. >> he has been in so many hot spots. they sent him to all the hot spots because he understood the language and he felt like he could cover the story better than anybody else. and i've gone through this, i don't know how many times, and

in the west bank, in egypt, libya, everywhere, it's always dangerous. and he always made it out. and i was afraid of bullets and bombs before. and to find out that he died of an asthma attack was a shock. his friends and everyone loved him. he never talked to anybody that wasn't his friend and admired him and he -- he didn't -- he was a humble man. he was dedicated to being a journalist. he wanted to be a journalist all his life. end to be the best and he was the best. >> he truly was. buddy shadid, these are things you tell people when they lost loved ones. sometimes you save them for

comfort. in this case we say it because it's true. there really isn't a member of our profession who's covered the arab world who has not said over the last 24 hours that anthony shadid was the best at what he did. truly, the world has lost an amazing journalist. >> the world lost an amazing journalist. and i lost a beloved son that i never ask anything of him that he didn't answer. he was the best at everything he did. he was a football player, he was the best. he was a scholar, he was the best. >> truly an amazing person. now, what were his wishes? i don't know if you've had this conversation. i mean, you usually don't have conversations like this with someone in their 40s. but did he ever express a desire, if the worst had happened? i mean, all of us who cover

conflict zones have a concern sometimes, what if we don't make it. did he tell you what his wishes were? >> he told his wife that he wanted to be cremated and his ashes spread in my grandparents' home in lebanon. that was his wish, that she relaid to me. we have a family plot here that if we carry out his wishes, i'll take part of his ashes and i'll have a footstone and bury the ashes there with him. me and his wife are wanting him to do what he wanted. that's what he wanted. i'm sure that's what we'll end up doing. even though we might not really want to do that.

we'll try to fulfill his wishes. >> thank you so much, buddy shadid. this is such an extremely difficult day for you. of course, anthony had two children as well, including a very young son. so this again looking forward to the life of that young boy who really won't have an opportunity to know his father. buddy shadid joining us on the phone from oklahoma city on the death of an amazing journalist, anthony shadid. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> again, our condolences. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> we'll be right back.

remember when the government used your money to bail out the auto industry.

well, now general motors is recording record profits, so that's good, right? but it's also handing out fat bonuses to 47,000 union workers. but, wait, the taxpayers still own a big chunk of gm. when are they going to see the return from their investment? let's bring in alyssa pritle, auto reporter for detroit free press. so, gm has the money to hand out $7,000 bonuses to union workers, which is good for the workers. they take the money, they spend it, it helps the economy, right? but what about the taxpayers? >> absolutely. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, it all depends on how you want to look at it. the multiplier effect has suggested that every one of those workers who go out with their check will generate double that amount in the economy somewhere. so, that spins off. that goes into the local sub shop, dentist shop and everywhere else, which is one of the rationales of bailing out the auto industry in the first

place, just because there is no other industry that for every single job creates so many spin-off jobs. >> okay. so what should taxpayers expect from a company like gm? what should they expect from their government in terms of getting their money back because of the bailout payouts? >> well, one of the things they'll have to wait for is the gm stock to rise. when they went public again, the tock was at $33 a share. it has been rebounding since the news of the record earnings yesterday. it was topping $27 today. but the government is not likely to sell any stake unless psychologically you hit that $33 mark. and really to break even, it needs to be at $53. that's unrealistic. the government is going to take a hit. but i think they want to manage

how much of a hit they take. >> what is gm saying in defense of these bonuses? >> well, the one thing that they changed in these bonuses, they are now more closely tied to performance. if the workers help gm be a more productive profitable company, then they share in the large. if they -- it's directionally proporti proportional. when you look at record earnings, the main driver of that was profit derived by auto operations in north america. they lost money in europe, in south america. it is still here that they are making the money and creating the jobs. >> right. well, that's an interesting point, because if the profit comes from north america, not from europe where some of these subsidiaries are losing money, other parts of the world like asia had big issues with the floods in thailand, for instance. what's the strategy for gm going forward, then? >> well, they have to be a global company to be successful. and the biggest thing on their plate is fixing europe and to a

lesser degree fixing south america. in south america, the products are getting kind of old. they're in the process of replacing them. that will adjust that. in europe, what they need to do is duplicate what they have done here in north america. they need to go in there and work with the unions and cut down capacity. they need to close plants. they have contracts that say they can't close plants till 2014. they're looking to see if they can open those up and stem those losses because that is really draining their bottom line. but north america is going gang busters. what was promising in the fourth quarter results, even though the quarter wasn't as strong, there were really nice glimpses, such as 500 million in savings because they're getting more efficient when they do their spending in advertising and engineering. they're getting better economies of scale. these are good signs going forward that this is a company that has restructured and is managing its business better than it did when it got into so

much trouble and needed a bailout. >> well, let me ask you one last question about these bonuses because bloomberg, and we mentioned how the $7,000 goes back into the economy. bloomberg is reporting these bonuses could have a tangible effect on the economies of michigan, ohio and kentucky. so, how much is there to that? >> oh, it absolutely will boost the economy. as we said at the start, they figured that each $7,000 check could generate as much as $20,000 out there in the community. and psychologically people are just feeling better. we need them to get out there and buy cars again. >> okay, thanks very much, alyssa priddle, auto reporter for detroit free press for joining us on cnn. well, where are the women? that's what one lawmaker wants to know. we ask that very question right before she walked out of a hearing on all -- on of all things, birth control and religious liberty. you'll hear about that. looking good. you've lost some weight. thanks. you noticed.

more fireworks today after a capitol hill hearing that prompted two congresswomen to walk out. it all started yesterday at a house hearing on religious liberty and the obama administration's new birth control policy. take a close look at this panel. the woman you see there on the end, well, she's not part of it. the five men sitting side by side, that is the panel. and remember, they're on capitol hill to testify about birth control. and religion. new york representative caroline maloney posed this question before walking out. listen. >> what i want to know is, where are the women? when i look at this panel, i don't see one single woman representing the tens of millions of women across the country who want and need insurance coverage for basic preventive health care

insurance, including family planning. where are the women? >> it was cheryled by darrell issa. all five men invited to take part in the discussion of birth control are from conservative religious organizations. listen to matthew harrison, a lutheran minister from missouri. >> we must obey god rather than men and we will. please get the federal government, mr. chairman, out of our consciences. >> and this is what the panel heard from a baptist minister. >> it's wrong because it violates the constitution. it's wrong because it violates religious liberty. it's wrong because it forces people to violate their con shenshe consciences. it's wrong. this plain ruling is just plain wrong for america. >> house minority leader nancy pelosi jumped into the fray urging supporters to sign a petition demanding house republican leaders allow women to have a voice in women's health issues. listen. >> where are the women?

and that's a good question. for the whole debate. where are the women? where are the women on that panel? imagine having a panel on women's health and they don't have any women on the panel. duh. what is it that men don't understand about women's health and how central the issue of family planning is to that? >> now, to be fair, the five men made up the morning panel. two women were part of the afternoon panel. but none of the ten testifying before the committee spoke in favor of the obama administration's birth control insurance decision. the two democratic women tried to get -- tried to get a witness added, who favors birth control services, but were refused, thus the walkout. had he not been a catholic bishop, he probably would have been a united states senator or corporate ceo or the host of a late night tv talk show.

this weekend new york's archbishop will join an organization that's been around for nearly 1,000 years. archbishop timothy dolan will be elevated to the catholic church's college of cardinals. that not only means he decides who becomes the next post but possibly puts him in line for the job. brooke baldwin has this profile. >> thanks, everybody. >> reporter: new york archbishop timothy dolan is getting a big promotion this weekend in rome. he's being elevated to the college of cardinals at the vatican. >> you become eligible to vote for the next pope. in many cases he also informally a candidate to be the next pope. >> reporter: dolan will remain the leader of new york's 2.6

million catholics where he's equal parts pastor, celebrity and politician. when the move was announced, dolan demured. >> it's almost as if pope benedict xvi is putting the red hat of the cardinal on top of the empire state building. >> reporter: cnn vatican analyst john allen says while humility was the card to play, dolan is uniquely qualified. >> had he not been a catholic bishop, he probably would have been a united states senator or a corporate ceo or the host of a late night tv talk show. pope benedict xvi has indicated in almost every way a pope can that he really likes this guy and wants him to play a very prominent role in catholic affairs, not just in the united states but around the world. >> reporter: dolan is not aimmune from critics. survivor networks used by priests called him the teflon prelay because he allowed a priest in new york accused of sexual misconduct to retire quietly. dolan responded that some criticism of the church was fair. >> all we ask is that it be fair.

and that the catholic church not be singled out for a horror that has cursed every culture, religion, organization, institution, cool, agency and family in the world. >> reporter: for the next two years, dolan will continue as president of the u.s. conference of catholic bishops. >> that's a foul ball by any standard. >> reporter: in january, he stepped up on the political stage and challenged the white house over an insurance mandate that forced religious institutions, except for houses of worship, to pay for contraceptives. he framed it as a religious liberty issue. >> the federal government should do what it's transitionally done since july 4, 1776, namely back out of intruding into the internal life of a church. >> reporter: the white house changed course. and extended the religious exemption to other organizations and will force insurers, rather than the institutions to pay for contraceptives. but that may still not be enough

for the bishops. >> because the bishop's role is to protect vigilantly the institution of the church and what the church says in the theories of how we should be best as the people of god. >> reporter: senior simone campbell is the president president of network in washington. while it agrees with the bishops on immigration and poverty, her group opposed the bishop's stance on the new health care law and its contraception mandates. >> these very points are the tension points within our church because it's the application of faith to a democratic culture. >> reporter: for dolan, the elevation to cardinal means his voice will speak even louder in the public square on that application of faith. brooke baldwin, cnn, atlanta. >> archbishop dolan is not the only american joining the college of cardinals. edwin o'brien will also be a

cardinal this weekend at the vatican. when we come back, my next guest has spent years promoting higher education and now he's putting his talents to good use to make it possible for dozens of students, bill cosby, joins me live next. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about the cookie-cutter retirement advice ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 you get at some places. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 they say you have to do this, have that, invest here ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 you know what? ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 you can't create a retirement plan based on ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 a predetermined script. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 to understand you and your goals... ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 ...so together we can find real-life answers for your ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 real-life retirement. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 talk to chuck ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 and let's write a script based on your life story. ttd#: 1-800-345-2550 nyqui tylenol: me, too. and cougnasal congestion.ers? nyquil:what? tissue box (whispering): he said nasal congestion... nyquil: i heard him. anncr vo: tylenol cold multi-symptom nighttime relieves nasal congestion... nyquil cold & flu doesn't.

i don't know, but i think somebody told me a picture showed -- and whatever. but i have to be in lancaster, pennsylvania. i have two shows tomorrow, 3:00 and 7:00. and i will not be at the funeral. but these rumor things just sort of get out there. the answer is, no. >> well, and the rumors and of course speculation surrounds her death still, i mean, and until we have an absolute final cause of death, what were your first thoughts when you heard of her passing last week? >> well, i wasn't surprised because of the gossip surrounding her trying to -- to get to sobriety, fighting health

problems related to sedation, or whatever it is. and it's been loaded. and we all rooted for her. and so when it's -- the news came out that at age 48 she passed, it wasn't -- it wasn't really a shock. not -- i mean, i don't mean i felt that she was going to early, but it just wasn't a shock. it is a great, obviously, loss. and for a talent like that to -- to be shut off before we can
