>> look, it's a time tested washington strategy leak unpleasant news on a friday night and hope the media is out drinking and too busy to pay attention. the president, joking a little bit, the president also was under a lot of pressure after his answers at a press conference today when he didn't definitively say whether or not the administration was investigating these leaks. here's the president. >> what i'm saying is we consistently -- whenever there is classified information that is put out into the public, we try to find out where that came from. all right? okay. thank you very much, everybody. >> now anderson, the president -- some on the hill have accused the white house of deliberately leaking the information to make the

president look like a strong commander in chief in an election year. the question is, was anybody in the administration involved in sharing any of this information, and that's what this investigation is helping to get to the bottom of. >> and clearly, if you read the reports, there was an article in "the new york times" about the computer virus used against iran. it does quote administration officials, whether or not they were leaking classified information. some among them called for basically independent investigations. a special counsel to be appointed. clearly the white house is not going down that road. do you think this will satisfy critics on the hill who say the justice department should not be investigating the white house? >> well, there's some who are probably not going to be satisfied. this is not a standard procedure hat this point.

what you have at this stage are two very senior prosecutors who were investigating them. each is a u.s. attorney. there's a democrat, who is leading one of the investigations. the other is a man named rod resenstein. he actually served with ken star. you remember him because he helped investigate white water and the monica lewinsky affairs. so hardly a neutral -- not to be -- you can say in the president's back pocket. both are graduates of harvard law school, interestingly because the president was as well. he says they will continue to update them, both members of the intel committee and the

judiciary committee. >> you've been covering the white house for a while. how seriously is the white house taking this? how bad are they worried about this as far as having blow back from the president? >> this administration points out, and it's true they take leaks seriously. and they have investigated and prosecuted more leakers than other administrations. >> in fact, all other administrations combined, they have six ongoing cases. >> right, and they take a lot of heat from the left for it. they say they take it seriously. the president pointed that out today. the thing about these sorts of investigations is once they start, you never know where they lead and how long they last. so the political implications could be damaging for the administration in an election year. and this has nod been a good week for the president.

he had all sorts of political damage with the campaign this week. it's been a tough one for the president. >> jessica, stick around. i want to talk to you more about that in a moment. in another report now, president obama gave republicans what some are calling a gift when he said this at the friday press briefing. >> the prooif sector is doing fine. they had to do with state and local government, often times cuts initiated by, you know, governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help that they have in the past from the federal government. and who don't have the same kind of flexibility as the federal government. in dealing with fewer rev news coming in. >> the republicans have pounced on the first five words. the private sector is doing

fine. within hours they surfaced in a republican national committee web ad. >> the private sector is doing fine. >> mitt romney and other leading republicans also jumped on president obama's use of those words. >> he said the private sector is doing fine. he said the private sector is doing fine. is he really that out of touch? >> he also attacked president obama for calling more more stomach lus -- stimulus money to hire workers. we also heard this in john boehner. having a problem with that. we also heard comments for eric cantor. do we have the eric cantor comments? >> we just listened to the president say that the private sector is doing fine. my question would be to the president, "are you kidding?" did he see the job numbers that

came out last week. >> now mitt romney also made comments about cutting jobs for firemen, policemen, and teachers, saying we don't need to hire more government workers. he didn't specifically say we should cut those jobs, but he did say that president obama wants to hire more jobs for -- wants to hire more firemen, more policemen, and more teachers. the white house is clearly aware that the comments they made have been fine. they had the president come out later and clarify his remarks. >> the economy is not doing fine. there are too many people out of work. the housing market is still weak and too many homes underwater. >> to be fair when president obama took office, the economy was in the basement. it's true. more than 4 million jobs were

created since he took office. you can decide for yourself how much credit he should get. it's also true prooifivate sect corporate are at a high. last month the private sector added just 82,000 jobs. far fewer than expected. less than the 187,000 in march. job growth is slowing down. unemployment rose to 8.2% last month. joining me now, chief white house correspondent jessica yellin. so jessica, the president says the private sector is doing fine. then comes out later, clarifies the remarks. how big of a gaffe is this for the president? >> remember when john mccain said in the 2008 election the fundamentals of the economy are strong, and then candidate obama hammered him mercilessly for it saying he was out of touch and he rode that all the way to victory. president obama hasn't

demonstrated repeated incidents of it being totally out of touch. to let him say that it's the republicans in congress who are responsible for these jobs numbers we just saw. he was trying to get the republicans in congress to take action on the jobs bill. instead of talking about that, we're talking about his gaffe. he cannot afford more unforced errors with this terrible economy right now and in the middle of an election year. >> the say the president is out of touch. do you think it's similar? >> it's about a 2.0 on the mccain richter scale. it was clearly a mistake. the american economy and private sector has created 4.3 million jobs in the last 27 months, since the recession ended. that's not good enough. but it's a lot better than in

the last republican presidency we had, in a similar period. i can't remember the name of the guy, but he's a terrible president. the republican president before obama. just terrible. mitt romney answered it with a gaffe of his own. so now plomtz is against having teachers, cops and firefighters. i guess you should call an investment banker when your house is on fire. >> we'll get to what mitt romney said afterwards. let's focus first on what president obama said. do you give him a pass on this, or do you think this is a sign that he's out of touch? >> the only difference between this and what john mccain said is president obama has the advantage of having it said in june. senator mccain said it in september or october in the middle of an intense campaign. the bigger problem is more of an ongoing pattern of dismissiveness of the private sector. the president said those rich people are just doing fine.

he just seems to have the lifelong approach from his days of being a community organizer to being a state senator to being the president. he looks at the private sector and says, you guys don't need anything. you're doing fine. whatever you do make, we'll redribr redistribute. >> couldn't you also interpret it as private sector is making record profits. they're doing fine. the public sector where government can actually do something in the short term. >> that's also a part of the president's misunderstanding of how the private sector works. they're so worried about obama care and its impact on their bottom line. the tax hikes scheduled to go up january 1st. people are worried more taxes, more regulations are coming down on them, so they're being cautious and sitting on their cash. >> anderson, it was said inartfully. what he meant to say is the part of the economy where jobs are

being lost is the part where government can make the most difference. it's an argument against austerity. and he's saying it's astonishing to him that congress won't do something to help government add measure teachers jobs, add more police officers, add more firefighters. this is a fundamental difference about the role of government. he doesn't believe in austerity, while republicans do. he's saying republicans should do something. >> jessica, that's just not what he said. >> it is what he believes, and it's what he said. he said it inartfully, no doubt. it was a gaffe. we've heard him say many, many times, ari. you've heard him say it. >> i've heard him be very disz mi dismissive of the private sector. that's one of the reasons his policies aren't working is policies and his rhetoric are suppressing job creators in the country who fear what's next. >> so paul then to rom niece's

point. he makes a statement that i'm wondering if he's going to clarify that a few hours for now. he comes forward and says the president is talking about hiring more teachers and policemen and firemen. we need to be cutting government. that's the message we learned in wisconsin that the american taxpayers want. people talk about cutting government. rarely do they specify teachers and firemen or at least firemen and firefighters and policemen. >> right. it could be romney is being consistent. when he was in business, he laid off private sector workers. he finished the quote. he said it's time for us to cut back on government and help the american people. that's a really interesting notion. fewer cops, fewer teachers, fewer firefighters will help the american people. he would be better if he left it

to government in the abstract as you suggested. if i had as many mansions as mitt romney did, i would want a lot of firefighters out there. i don't want any ill to happen to hi mass. he benefits from firefighters more than most of us. >> ari, do you think this was a gaffe on mitt romney's part, or do you think he's right? >> that was his point. he said more workers. he didn't say fewer or less. he said more. and the issue here as jessica pointed out, philosophical. president obama believes the way you grow the economy is having the government find reasons to hire more people. mitt romney believes the way you grow the economy is being having a private sector thrive so it can hire more people. that's the philosophical difference that came out today between the president said and what mitt romney said. at the end of the day, mitt romney ends up a huge winner as a result of this. >> do you think romney ends up a winner today?

>> no. it is june. and it is just a wash. but the argument will be this. whose side are you on? and both of these guys have their streaks. sometimes, like always, mitt romney can have this sort of marie antionette syndrome where he seems to insult working people, like he did today. teachers, cops and firefighters. >> i love that your big insult to the president is he's prophesorial. >> okay. but go on, paul. >> the president can be a little little ethereal at times. it's true. neither of them are like joe biden, who is really great on middle class tread. but if it's about who would you rather like hang out with, i don't think romney is going to succeed there. >> it's been a fascinating day. thank you.

reality. men and women and children dying. some of them are fighters, yes. some of them are simply kids. some simply people who have demonstrated for freedom. in homes, more shelling by government forces. at least 40 people killed across syria in the last 24 hours alone according to activists. that follows the alleged killing of 78 people earlier this week, mostly women and killing. and the killing of more than 200 people two weeks ago, again, mostly women and children. of course the dictator al-assad denies all of this and blames the bloodshed on terrorists. he also says his forces don't kill civilians. they're just fighting terrorists. there are concerns about the fighting in syria, but this fight began with peaceful protests, wasn't begun by jihadists or terrorists. but regular syrians who had enough. they began demonstrating 15 months ago calling for reforms. the peaceful protests were met with bullets and batons, tear

gas and shanks. the bloodshed is such a daily occurrence, many no longer want to pay attention to it. many people don't cover it anymore. and i understand that, but we ask you to just pay attention for just a few minutes tonight. the only thing worse is children being murdered is children being murdered and no one stopping to pay attention. to learn their names or to learn the stories or the loss that their families feel. these images taken by photojournalist robert king who has repeatedly risked his life to document the truth of what's happening right now in syria. the images were taken in a makeshift clinic in the city in homes province, a place under siege for months. people are injured and sick, but might be saved. those people are dying. >> what is your name? >> doctor kasan. >> yes. >> go, go, go, go.

>> life and death in a makeshift clinic in syria. those images taken by robert king, again, who has risked his life to shoot that video. i spoke to him earlier today from inside syria. the video that you've taken in this field hospital is probably some of the most -- i don't know the adjective -- i mean, horrific video that i've seen. it really gives you a sense of just the chaos in the makeshift clinics and the struggle these doctors are under. a lot of people wounded are men involved in the fighting and the army. but you're seeing so many children. have you seen children who are actually shot by snipers, directly targeted? or are most of them unintended

victims of shelling? >> no, i've seen at least two to three children that have been directly targeted by snipers. >> i remember being in a siege and over the years people would get angry after a while of reporters who had taken pictures for years, and yet they felt like nothing was changing. do people there feel like the world has abandoned them? >> there's just not that many journalists here anymore. there was a lot more journalists, a lot more coverage. now this this war, the reaction is the same. there's a lack of response. the difference is that there is real international media presence. and in some regards, you're it, anderson. i mean, you're the only one that i'm aware of that's continually broadcasting these war crimes from this area. and i'm not saying it just because i'm speaking with you.

it's amazing. >> i think the thing, and we talked about this that's time, none of us can pretend we didn't know what was happening. we can't say i didn't know. because you are there and because activists have trained their cell phone cameras on this. we know what is happening there. i watched the entire -- all the video that you shot. we've shown three or four minutes of it. i watched all ten minutes of it. i mean, i've seen a lot of stuff, and i've never seen, you know, children with their guts hanging out, with very little medical care to treat them. i don't know what more people need to see in order to be roused into some sort of reaction. >> i can't believe it. the syrian people don't want military intervention.

welcome back. the massacre at ft. hood killed 13 people, injured dozens more. today the judge delayed the hearing because the suspect violated military rules. details when we continue.

in tonight's crime and punishment. ever since george zimmerman shot and killed trayvon plar tin, the so-called stand your ground laws have been under increased scrutiny. the case of raul rodriguez is another example. he's on trial for the shooting of an elementary schoolteacher in the victim's own driveway. rodriguez claimed self defense under the state's law that permits deadly force when someone believes they're in danger. now the confrontation was over noise complaint. basically his neighbor was having a party. texas law allows ls people to protect themselves outside their homes if they feel their lives were threatened. he was the only one armed and prosecutors said he used specific buzz words during the confrontation to make sure he would have a case. so does he have a case? we'll put this to jeffrey toobin

in a minute. what makes this more difficult, the entire thing was videotaped by rodriguez. even the shooting. here's randi kaye. >> when raul rodriguez showed up to complain at his neighbors, he was armed, not just with a gun, but a flashlight, a cell phone connected to 911 operators. >> that was more than 85 decemb decibals. the retired firefighter was calling police all night, complaining about a rowdy party. frustrated, he confronts his name, kelly danaher and some of his buddies on the driveway. >> will you turn that down, please? >> who are you? >> i live over here. turn it down. >> hey, don't go hollering at me, buddy. >> the video lasts about 20 minutes. over and over you hear rodriguez tell the men to step or he'll shoot. >> yeah, you're going somewhere. >> you need to stop right there.

don't come any closer. >> don't tell me not to come closer. i said stop right now or i will shoot you. stop! get back! >> back up, kelly! >> get back. i'm in fear for my life. y'all are drunk. get away from me. >> the men appear unarmed, but still, rodriguez, who has a license to carry a concealed weapon repeatedly tells the 911 operator he fears for his life. it's just me against everybody. i've got a -- i've got -- look, there's about 15 people here. lyme, i'm in, i'm in fear for my life now. that's why i drew my weapon. i'm in fear for my life. please help me now. they're going to kill me. oh jesus, they're going to kill me. i smell liquor. >> the men shout at rodriguez, and rodriguez tells police the partygoers want to quote, beat me down. >> and so i'm running the video camera right now, and i'm talking to you. and i'm scared to death here. >> at some point one of the men

seems to hint at getting his own weapon. >> when i go in the house and come back, don't think i won't be equal to you, baby. >> okay, they're going to escalate this. they're talking about getting something to shoot me with. i'm going to have to defend myself. >> while it may seem odd to bring a gun to resolve a noise complaint, rodriguez still may be able to defend himself using texas' version of the stand your ground law. it says a person can use force if that person feels as though his or her life is in danger. so what happens in the next few moments on that video is key. rodriguez uses very specific language, phrases like, i'm standing my ground, and my life is in danger. listen closely. >> it's about to get out of hand, sir. please help me. please help me, sir. my life is in danger now. he's about to, he say he's going to go in the house, he's going to be more than equal to me. now i'm standing my ground here.

now these people are going to try to kill me. >> then suddenly shots fire. look i'm not losing with these people anymore. i'm just going to tell them to stay back. they're drunk. they're swearing. god dang it! >> and that's where the video ends. but we know the shooting continued. three of the partygoers are shot. two survive. but kelly danaher, the young father and elementary schoolteacher hosting the party is dead. raul rodriguez says he's not guilty of murder. and he's hoping this grainy video will prove he acted in self defense and never planned to kill. randi kaye, cnn, atlanta. >> so rodriguez's attorney says the video we just saw proves his client was acting in self defense. >> well, he can make the argument. i don't think it does. first of all, it's just one of the craziest videos i've ever seen. he's mouthing the words that have been legally applied under

that statute. we're familiar with the stand your ground law in florida because of the stand your ground law. first of all, he's not at his home. rodriguez goes and initiates the confrontation. >> and initiates it with a cell phone camera, or video camera, a gun and a flashlight. he's documenting the entire thing. >> he's documenting the entire thing. now his attorney is saying, well, why would he document it if it proves his guilt? some people do stupid things. i think that's one reason why he did it. but i think more importantly, you know, just because you say you're in fear and just because you say you're defending yourself doesn't mean a jury is going to believe that's the case. >> does this have parallels to the trayvon martin case? >> i think it does. because the law is similar. obviously the facts are quite different. most importantly, we don't have a video of the confrontation

between zimmerman and martin. here when most importantly you see a guy with his hands up. that is highly significant in terms of who is the aggressor here. >> he arrived at this guy's house with the gun and the camera, as we said. >> i think his self defense claim would have been preposterous. it is true that people claiming self defense do a lot better now under the stand your ground laws. particularly because he's not at his own house. >> he could have retreated to his own house. >> he could have retreated with great ease. he could have not initiated the conversation in the first place. remember, what causes this all is a noisy party. so it's not exactly a life

threatening situation where you need to bring a gun in the first place. so you don't think he has a case? >> it doesn't seem that way to me. we're talking about a jury. if juries want to embrace the notion of self defense, he could get acquitted. hunting down suspected child pornographers and rescuing their victims. that's next on the program. what is that? it's you!
