wall street still isn't concern. the dow passed its record closes about half an hour ago. 14,231 right thou. but then there's air travel taking a hit sooner than a lot of people expected. all of this just as republicans are introducing a bill they say will cushion the blow of the budget cuts. janet napolitano says wait times doubled and even tripled at wait times in major customs airports lines. >> we will see this effect cascade over the next week. i don't mean to scare. i mean to inform. if you're traveling, get to the airport earlier than you otherwise would. >> passengers on 56 flights waited two hours and longer to get through customs on saturday. it was around three hours for passengers on 14 flights. and a similar story at miami international. this is just from overtime being

cut. the full effects because of furloughs from the sequester are still to come. lt at any moment we're expecting to hear more about the sequester from democratic and republican leaders who have been meeting behind closed doors this morning. let's bring in washington bureau chief lynn swede and ryan grim. good morning to both of you. >> good morning, chris. >> on one hand, the impact we're seeing at airports would seem to give credence to president's warnings. on the other, michael sheer wrote in the in, times, quote, mr. obama is carefully navigating between maximizing heat on republicans to undo the cuts while mobilizing efforts to make sure that the steep spending cuts do not hurt americans. his advisers acknowledge that the president struggles to find the right kind of balance. how does the president navigate this tight rope? >> carefully. the cuts in the air transportation industry will be the ones i think most people are

feeling first and cuts across all political ideologies. chris and ryan, that's why i think the airport is the situation might be the one issue that gets people back to a bargaining table. and, yeah, obama has been going around the country blaming republicans. we'll see if his strategy works. people just may be fed up. >> it may be interesting to see if it's going the take airlines or what it's going to take. there is a new cbs poll that shows 38% of americans blame republicans for failing to reach a deal on sequester. 38%, the president, 19 perz both. what is it going to take? >> i think what obama is going to try to do is find the way to implement the cuts that can be annoying to people but cause the least amount of genuine pain for people and the least amount of harm to the economy. now, it's hard to find something that fits all of those different boxes because, you know, airlines, it's not going to physically hurt anybody that sits there for 2, 2 1/2 hours.

it actually does harm the economy because people are not able to be as productive as they were. but it's not as if, you know, you're cutting somebody's ability to go to the dentist and a tooth infection gets out of control. >> yeah. >> so, you know, there's a balance there that he's trying to strike. it's between doing what politically is advantageous to him, which is causing as much trouble out of the sequester. and as you said, you know, alleviating the consequences of these major cuts. >> but one of the things we know the president is doing is he's been reaching out to more junior republicans in his effort to find more tax revenue. let me play a clip from the president. >> i will continue to seek out partners on the other side of the aisle so we can create the kind of balanced approach, spending cuts, revenues, entitlement reform that everybody knows is the right way to do things. >> what's the chance of that

kind of outreach working? it would have to be a moderate republican in a swing district that obama won. we can probably figure it out if we just looked at the results from the 2012 race. there's a handful of members that fit that profile and those are the targets. >> and while we're still talking about the sequester, we're looking ahead to what's coming next with the budget. republicans have ruled out this $982 billion plan to keep the government operating for the next six months. it would shift more than $10 billion to pentagon operations from other defense related accounts obviously trying to, you know, stave off some of the hurt from the sequester, prohibit holding facilities for cuts to holding facilities for illegal immigrants, $2 billion for embassy security, extend salary freeze. but it doesn't do anything, ryan, for some democratic priorities unlike headstart and so many educational programs. is this doa? is it a starting point for

conversations? what about this republican plan? >> well, we're talking about it. we can call it a starting point. but right, let's keep funding for the police, military, industrial complex and then let's cut everything else and let's not raise taxes on anybody. i mean, that's the starting point. that report this morning in the huffington post, they defunded a.c.o.r.n., a group that ceased to exist several years ago and it's already illegal to fund this group that doesn't exist. that is their effort on social policy and then otherwise, you're sdwruft saving money for the pentagon. so i suppose we can call it a starting point. >> let me bring in congressman charlie rangel, always good to see you, congressman. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm guessing you're not going to jump on board this republican plan for the $282 billion in funding. having said that, do you want to look for a way to, for example, mitigate some of the impact of

what's going on at the pentagon? >> well, i don't know. i leave the national security questions to our leaders and i think making it apool to the american people on patriotism sometimes gets away from the fact that we don't have to be going through what we're going through now. each side can take which acts they want to hit us with, whether it's domestic program or military spending. but the truth of the matter is that the silence of the private sector for what is happening to our economy, the silence of the churches as to what's happening to our poor is what i really don't understand. it's not the republican party that's just doing this. it's only a handful of republicans. if we can find the pressure on the house of representatives in the senate just to do the right

nonpartisan thing, we can get our way out of this overnight. >> well, you're not the only one, obviously, who is critical. new jersey's governor chris christie very critical of washington's failure to avert the sequester. let me play a little clip from him. >> the worst thing about sequester, in my view, is that, you know, they're not spending any time talking about entitlement spending which is where we really need to focus on over the long haul to make a big difference in terms of our long-term fiscal health as a country. >> does governor christie have a point? >> i don't think where talking about entitlement is going to dhang any darn thing. the question is, get us to the table the. what the so-called republican leadership is talking about is that they don't want to talk about revenue. this is a stupid thing to say even if you're talking about tax reform. it's not a question that we want to tax people more. it's a question of reforming the code where people are receiving benefits that no one believes they should have. and to say that you're not even

going to talk about it, it's a position that smart people shouldn't take. >> in the meantime, there does seem to be some movement on capitol hill on gun control. there's a bipartisan senate bill that would make gun trafficking a federal crime. at the same time that's going on, i don't know if you've seen it, congressman, but the nra is out with a new ad that specifically targets african-american youth. let me play a clip for you. >> it's not a gun problem, it's a culture problem, it's a poverty problem, it's a history problem. the only person responsible for your safety is you. cops can't always about he there. obama definitely can't be there. this isn't a black or white, democrat or republican issue. this is common sense. it's self-preservation. it's about natural rights. >> common sense, self-preservation, you better have a gun, it sounds like he's saying, because president obama can't be there to protect you, the police can't always be there to protect you.

your reaction? >> i think it's an insult to the american people's intelligence for them to continue to do this and they -- there's no question that they just create things about minorities just going and having rights that never existed. they make it up and they keep moving on and saying what they want to say. the truth of the matter is, there's no need for america being the most -- having most of their guns per capita than any civilized country. and there's no reason in the world why we have assault weapons for hunting and other noncriminal purposes. and so i think here, once again, that we have to hear from more than just the gun lobbyists and democrats and republicans. we have to hear from the american people. but we know we don't need these guns in the city and we don't need assault weapons in the

rural areas. and this is not a question of party. it's a question of common sense. >> congressman charlie rangel, it's always good to have you on the program. thank you, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> lynn, what is the political reality right now in washington? could this gun trafficking bill get passed? >> it could well be because it's going to be going, chris, as a stand alone bill, not part of a package with some of the other controversial measures such as the assault weapons ban. it is named for heidi pendelton, the 15-year-old chicago girl who was gunned down in a chicago park two blocks from president obama's home. because it's a stand alone, it has bipartisan support, it may be well on its way. >> and if it does pass, could that help lead to compromise on things like universal background checks or an assault weapons ban? probably background checks more than anything. and show that compromise is possible or some people who have felt the pressure from constituents to get something

done after newtown say, that's the end of it, we did something. >> no. i think if you can move this through, background checks probably even become easier because people have taken a quote/unquote tough vote on guns. they've decided that they're going to do something. and so then something else that's reasonable, like background checks so that you're not selling, you know, guns to criminals or to the mentally ill is that much more difficult for them to come out and oppose. because what was the point, then, of them going forward and taking a tough vote if they doevent take the second one? then you're going to get hit from both sides. so i think if this moves, then it does kind of open the way for a few other things. you know, people continue to see that the assault weapons ban doesn't have a chance to get through so, you know, as far as i know, that's still the case. >> lynn, what do you think? if this goes through, does it affect other gun legislation going forward? >> the answer is yes and no.

yes in the senate, democratic controlled where you have an easier way of the bipartisan coalition. we don't know if they're willing to take stand alone votes and let the less controversial propose xwrals alone. than it would be very hard to do. >> north korea is threatening to cancel the 1953 korean war cease-fire after the u.s. and china reached agreement on a draft of new sanctions to punish north korea for its latest nuclear tests. the u.n. security council the meet to discussion sanctions. they could include tougher restrictions and cargo inspections. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 all in one place. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 introducing schwab etf onesource™. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 it's one source with the most commission-free etfs. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 one source with etfs from leading providers

in rome, an imposter posing as a bishop was able to don have vestments and mingle with the cardinals. socializing, taking pictures and then the swiss guard noticed his ensemble wasn't quite right. this morning, we still don't know when the conclave will be, althoughcati catioindications a cardinals are looking for a hope to help straightingen out the mess. e.j.deon wrote about it in the washington post. e.j., good morning. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> good to be with you. it varies the political between our politics here in the state and the conclave and congress. would you say in its simplest form it's essentially congress servives versus progressives or am i oversimplifying?

>> i think we all oversimplify. but in the column, i cited the work of an interesting doe minute can priest where on the church side, you argued the split is between what he calls kingdom and communion catholics. they look back to the great reforms of the second vatican council in the '60s and say the church opened itself to the world, it saw itself as building the kingdom of christ on earth, the jesus they looked to was the one that was open, touched lepers and helped the poor. the communion catholics look at the kingdom catholics and say you're really dissolving catholic identity. you are so open to the world that there will be nothing specifically catholic any more. and they want to assert what they believe orthodoxy is. i think in american politics, you can obviously push these

comparisons way too hard. but i think there's an interesting comparison in the progressives who really look back at the last 80 to 100 years, really, since the time of teddy roosevelt and say as a country, we made enormous progress on civil rights on economic justice through the new deal, through the great society and the conservatives want to hold that all back. on the conservative side, they say, no, we are the real guardians of american identity. sometimes you hear the term real americans. we honest the constitution. they go all the way back and these two sides have a fight where they can almost -- and i'm partisan on this side, i'm a progressive and a kingdom catholic. but it's very hard for people to understand each other. and i think that is very similar in the fights in the church and the fights in the american politics. >> yeah. the only thing that's similar is that we as american voters get frustrated by the divide in washington .a lot of catholics

get frustrated by the divide. they don't understand thou church and the rest of the world works. but you argue we should celebrate rather than mourn or excellental tensions is the way you put it. really? does that work? >> we haven't made it work lately, but we've made it work in the past. who can deny as conservatives in american politics would argue liberty and individualation is one important part of our character, but as the more -- the left side would argue, equality and community are a very important part of our character. simil similarly, inside the church, i think a lot of people who would fall into that kingdom category would view themselves as communion catholics. they don't view themselves as opposing specific markers of catholic identity and a lot of the communion catholics are very strong advocates of social justice. so i do think in principal we ought to get along, but right

now we don't trust each other very much across these divides and that's creating real problems for our country and for those of you who are catholic for our church. >> a lot of american catholics are progressive. they're for married priests, women priests, gay marriage. it was really interesting, though, when we started talking about benedict stepping down, i had kate childs graham stepping down. she's gay. she's active in progressive catholic groups. and i asked her if people asked her why she's catholic. here is what she told me. >> i say that this church is as much my church as it is pope benedict's church. this church is hope for me. and i think that we see young catholics and progressive catholics, members of call to action, an organization i'm on the board of that are building inclusive justice seeking loving faith communities at the local level. we're going to continue to do that no matter who the next pope is. >> and i think, you know, we see that in the catholic church in america. you see these changes. but globally, and people are looking to this next pope here in america to be different.

it's a numbers game. isn't it, e.j.? just 6% of the global church is american and where it's growing in places like latin america and africa, it's far more conservative. >> it is and it isn't. when you look at the possible popes, the two front runners, to the extent they are, these are from the first world and they probably are pretty pure, in my terms, communion or conservative catholics. some of the more liberal candidates, you know, liberal i use guardedly, you know, that's a pretty conservative bunch who are gathering. ravazi is italian. other than the, from brazil he could be on the more conservative side of the camp. i don't think these work perfectly, but i thought that interview, the key is a hold in the church.

and father radcliff, who i quote in the piece says how everybody feels a little more homeless. on the other side, they want to change the church and say, i won't be at home here any more. we have to deal with that problem of homelessness. but my view is you don't cure homelessness by throwing one side out of the house. >> e.j. dee rionndionne, fascin article. >> thank you. the 23-year-old woman who said senator manendez paid her for sex now admits she made it all up. the woman never met manendez and was paid to make the claims. the senator did deny those allegations from the start and says he's looking forward to whatever evidence emerges from the courts. he calls these accusations smeared. new york firefighters scott

bizarre turn. he's a former south carolina governor who quit after he said he was hiking the appalachian trail when, in fact, he was having an affair with an argentinian woman. now he's running for congress and new york magazine says sanford asked his ex-wife, jenny, the woman he left to run his new campaign. he's quoted as saying, we could put the team back together. and i could pay you this time. sanfords have barely been on speaking terms since their divorce, so it comes as no surprise that she said no. apparently he thought since she decided not to run, that she would want to run his campaign. >> let's bring in emily and rich. emily, the saga continues for mark sanford. what do you think of this? >> well, i think it's pretty insulting to her. from his perspective -- >> wait a minute. let me ask you. if your husband left you in a very public way and ran off the

with the woman he left her soulmate -- >> i'm not sure he left her. i think she threw him out. >> you make a good point, rich. and forgiveness has been a big part of his theme, to is on maybe this is part of that. let me play a little bit of mark sanford. >> i have cut spending, reduced debt and made government more accountable. mott more recently, i have experienced how none of us go through life without mistakes. but this their wake, we can learn a lot about grace, a god of second chances and be the better for it. >> so what do you think, rich? will this plea for compassion work? will people look at this set of exchanges with his ex-wife and say, you go. >> yeah. he's still the same guy. when he released that ad that said the god of second chances, i said you ought to be praying to the god of tango dances which i thought would have made more sense. >> very clever, mr. galen. >> thank you. but he's very well known.

there's 16 people in that primary and it's not unlikely that he will remain in a runoff. who knows. but it is -- it's not embarrassing to me. i don't care. but i guess when you get to the point if your life where you no long every care what people think about you, it makes your life easier. you can say or do anything. >> let's look at the political lay of the land. 16 people running, including two democrats. among those running -- >> 16 republicans. >> and then two democrats. and you have ted turner's son, who is, by the way, a republican and points that out repeatedly. stephen colbert's sister on the other side. but i think we have to remember that this is a district when redrawn favors republicans. it was 58% for mitt romney. so i guess the key question is, can he win? >> in a field that crowd in a 16-person primary and with his name recognition, he has the highest name recognition.

the biggest problem for him, of course, is character. so going out there and asking his ex-wife to manage his campaign is a pretty smart move on his part. >> you think it's a smart move? >> if he's looking for character, he's had a lot of character problems. but if he can get an endorsement from his ex wife -- >> but she's not going to do it. >> oh, no, she's not going to do it, which is why i think he's telling everyone he asked her. >> just so he looks like the good guy? is he that tone deaf? or maybe i'm wrong. i could be wrong about this, but i would think this would turn women voters off in droves. but women voters will be key though as they are in most campaigns. >> going back to the original toy of running against mrs. bush, i guess her name is, stephen colbert's sister. if they end up in the general election in this special, the notion of women voting for mark sanford is almost beyond belief.

and mrs. bush has been a republican in the past. i think she presents a very difficult hill for republicans to climb, even in a 58% district if it becomes bush versus sanford in the end. >> we've heard over the last couple of days how the president is thinking that it's possible he could help win back the house. they would need to net 17 seats which, obviously, is a very high hill to climb. but this would be a very important seat for president obama. >> well, that's more than a high hill. let me do this, it's a cliff. the only time in living memory that is the memory of anyone now living that a second term president picked up seats in the midterm was bill clinton in 19989 and i take no small amount of responsibility for that failure. but keep in mind that mr. clinton was a 65% popularity at the time. mr. obama is sitting at

somewhere in the high 40s, maybe 46%, 47%. i think it's interesting, emily, that the white house has set thun believably high barrier of taking control of the house as his signal as to what's going to happen in the last few years. >> and at a time when by some estimates there are vulnerable democrats in these congressional campaigns. emily, what do you think? >> it is a high barrier. and maybe even for additional reasons that you had listed in that the lack of strong investment in state legislatures in 2010 led to republicans taking over state leaders all over the country in a year of redistricting. so there's very serious jerry mannedering go on on the republican side which makes it even more difficult. i think by the democrats putting out their lists, going out there and saying these are seats that we have tested these democrats, we know we need to make the investments setting that early and then going on the offensive, the democrats are really going on a two-track path. they're saying, these are the people that we've tested them,

we know we need to protect them, but then also last week announcing that, you know, you mentioned women in the last segment. women are at a key place. we need to recruit women, run women all the time and investing in women. if we need to keep getting women to show up and vote. they did announce shally frankel will be heading out recruiting people in those seats they need to pick up. >> this is the start of what will be many occasions about these. thanks to you both. checking the news feed, a major snowstorm is hitting the midwest again this hour. chicago could see a foot of snow. o'hare has canceled almost 800 flights. more are canceled at midway airport. the storm is moving east. it could hit the mid-atlantic and particularly washington, d.c. tomorrow. now to florida where we're getting our first look at that sinkhole that swallowed a florida man as he slept in his bed. crews finished demolishing the house, leaving the gaping 30-foot hole invisible.

mostly triggered by environmental cues. not enough pay and few opportunities for advancement are stressing women out on the job. a survey from the american psychological association finds 38% of women say they're not getting paid enough. 32% say their employers don't provide enough opportunities to move up the ladder. now, this survey fits perfectly into the heated debate over cheryl sandburg's new book, controversial even before it's out over her tough love approach to women in business. i'm joined now by the senior finance et tore at ethics magazine and leah goldman features director for claire magazine. good morning to both of you. >> hell loy. >> cheryl sandberg argues that women often check out of their career before they start a family. here is a little bit more about what she said. quote, maybe it's the fifth year in a law firm when they say i'm not even sure i should go for tg

to want kids eventually. these women don't even have relationships and already they're finding balance, balance for responsibilities they don't yet have. from that moment, they start quietly leaning back. are women sabotaging themselves, tenisha? >> i don't think so. not at all. what we tell our readers every single month is you must own the space you're in. i agree with those things charlotte is saying but i disagree with this idea of the blame game and this idea of self-sabotage. i don't think it's true. it's all about owning your space. &$>j is one of the people who wrote about the backlash. she said she personally, joan, has hired dozens of people for jobs that not a single woman or one woman in this entire time asked for more money than was the stated amount. >> yeah. >> but men always asked for more. >> yes. >> does that surprise you? >> it doesn't. i see this all the time. we talk about this all the time.

that from the get-go, women are what cheryl sandburg would say are leaning back, that they're not coming in aggressively, negotiating that starting salary, negotiating the vacation days, negotiating the perk that's men do all the time without even thinking because they're open to the idea that they can ask. women don't ask. when she talks about leaning back, i see that often, waiting to get handed assignments instead of going in and the saying, hey, i want that. because the perception might be if you ask for it, you're too ambitious. how many women get told they're too ambitious? i would argue that you'd have a hard time finding a man that's been told he's too ambitious. >> and there are relatively few women who are just 2% of fortune 500 ceos, 16 of board of director pes weapon focus so much on the class ceiling, but i wonder what's causing that .how much of it does have to do with not feeling they can ask or how much of it is like projecting to

some day i want to have a family and i'm going to have to step back, anyway? >> i definitely believe women do need to own their space and they need to step up and ask for what you want. i believe when you're at the table, you need to ask for the money and ask for the promotion. i definitely don't agree with the fact that this idea because i want to have children i'm going lean back and sort of take a step back in terms of my career. i really think it's all about the strategy and the execution. >> cheryl sandberg famously leaves work at 5:30. that's not to say it's the end of her work day, but she goes home. >> yeah. >> and her husband says he does it, too and, no one has ever asked him about it. but i will say one thing about that point. you can do that when you've accrued enough good will at the top of a company. if you're just starting out, your first five, even ten years in, yes, you have to put in the time. you have to improve yourself. and i think that conversation is often missing in this, the idea that you have to be the best at what you're doing to get those kinds of allowances and dispensations and we famously

saw this with yahoo! this week when marissa mayer pulled the flex time, but very much lost in the discussion, well, what was going on at yahoo!? there were rumors that anyone with flex time wasn't really punching in at home when they said they would. those are problems. you have to earn that. that's not a guarantee. >> well, and there was a lot of thought that if women got to higher positions and there are more numberes of women going up the corporate ladder, then it would be easier fom more women. but then there is this queen bee syndrome where women in power actually try to keep other women down. do you think it's better now or maybe not? there was an opinion piece about this in the "wall street journal." >> there was. and i read that piece. and i think not necessarily that it's better now, but it still exists and there are subtleties that happen. when you get that queen bee boss and they're nitpicking you or trying to defy you in terms of not getting that promotion, it's more subtle than smub hurling a cup at your head back in the

1970s. and wa people need to think about is how are you going to own that? you need to make sure you have that mentor in your pocket, have a sponsor who can walk your papersax[je)q roomsykñ and makee that you are at the top of your game because then it gives you that appropriate leverage so that you can fight back. >> tanisha, leah, great to see both of you. today anticipates tweet of the day comes from forbes. there are 138 women on this year's forbes billionaire's list up from last year's total of 104. and this includes the length of the slideshow of the world's richest women. that's chilly!
