mall for her child. >> it was scary, i got a call from -- and from where i work and i was at home and i just got it my car and came here. we're just grateful, with their fast reaction in getting there and taking care of what they had to take care of. not knowing is scary. we just -- can't believe what happened here. >> worried parent there. police are planning to hold a news conference in about three hours we're told. amy voguelesang a reporter for the "ros well daily record" what can you tell us about the students' conditions? >> we haven't had a lot of information released to us. two confirmed in the hospital and one in lubbock and one in

roswell, there's a possible third child, completely unconfi unconfirmed. as of right now i'm waiting to hear from the police and get information on the specific injuries. >> what do we know about the circumstances surrounding the shooting and was that suspect who was taken into custody, was that person a student? >> actually i am not sure yet, i don't believe so. as of right now there's very little information. i've gotten to the scene and it's one of those chaotic scenes where parents -- panicked parents are trying to show up. they are not allowed to get -- you have to show their identity to get their kids. and the cops are surrounding the area. it's on lockdown right now to ensure it doesn't spread panic anywhere else. this is kind of new for roswell, we're not used to things like this. >> how large of a school are we talking about on lockdown there?

>> i'm sorry, what. >> how large is a school we're talking about here? >> not very big by city standards, probably about 400 kids. >> okay. amy voglesang, you're on the ground there, do keep us up to date and let us know what's happening. >> i definitely well, thanks. >> here's the other big political story. in a few hours governor chris christie will appear before the new jersey legislature to deliver his annual state of the state address. despite the bold new education reforms he's expected to outline, that is certainly not what's going to be on the minds of most people watching or likely on the mind of the governor himself. instead, this is the headline that continues to dominate the conversation. two new jersey legislative panels to probe christie bridge scandal. the latest and most significant news being that the newly formed investigative committees are expected to hand out further subpoenas this week.

christie is also dealing with headlines like this one. federal auditors probe use of disaster funds for new jersey ad campaign that featured christie. this story is focused on a $25 million tourism campaign including ads featuring the governor and his family. ads that critics say cost $2 million more than a production offer from the next highest bidder. >> i don't think there's any question that this was an effort to promote him. but the problem is it was at the expense of money from the taxpayers that could have been used for other sandy purposes. >> the christie administration denies any wrong doing saying that the ads were quote, a key part in helping new jersey get back on its feet. local columnist bong ingle co-authored the book "chris christie" the inside of his rise to power. let's start with the state of the state address. we know the governor will talk

about the scandal. what do you expect he's going to say? >> i think that he will say something up front about the recent news and how he's not going to let that get in the way of his agenda or education reform. he also will be talking about tax initiatives in making streets safer. i think he will mention it but i don't think he's going to take up a lot of time with it. >> jersey city mayor has now come forward saying that he had a strong relationship with the governor's administration but that relationship completely disappeared when he decided not to endorse christie for governor as the "new york times" reports, throughout his four years as governor and particularly in his re-election campaign last year, mr. christie has worked his powers of government as an arm of his political operation rewarding favors to those who rewarded his political ambitions and punishing those who got in his way.

>> do we expect more stories like this from other mayors around the garden state to continue to pop up over the next few days? >> i think we expect more stories like this. as people go back thinking about things and about what may have happened back in the summer, they may think, that could have been the reason for that. maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. but the story has legs. it's going to be with us for a while. >> in a press conference on thursday, christie portrayed himself as not a bully or micromanager. again, you literally wrote the book on the guy. how accurate of an assessment of himself was that? >> he certainly delegates and he does dell gate. the thing about him, i have never known him not to be on top of what was going on in his office. he also likes to be informed but that would be up to the people who work for him to keep him informed. as of yet we don't have anything other than what he told us about

what he knew. that we may find out in the next few days or weeks. >> really quickly, let's get to this other investigation the governor is facing the audit of the $25 million in federal relief money, the asbury park press release reporting that christie's administration is hiding details about that money. what more can you tell us about that investigation and what they have found? >> that is one of our papers and my colleague bob gordon is the one who did the story. we asked for bids having to do with what was going to handle the campaign. state dragged its feet. we're supposed to get it in 7 business days. we asked for them in august and we got them in december. we're going through all of that. what we found out is that the organization, the agency, that got it actually charged more and is politically connected and makes contributions to political candidates, that sort of thing. the losing campaign does not.

that the top of what we found out so far. >> bob ingle, i'm sure we'll talk to you again soon. thank you very much. let's get straight to the power panel. alice stewart and jimmy williams and senior white house reporter carrie brown. the speech will happen at 3:00, the state of the state, we're hearing that he's going to spend sometime at least talking about the bridge scandal. obviously it's not going to be the bulk of that speech, probably just a nod. should we see a different tone than we saw in that marathon on thursday press conference, carrie? >> it's quite possible. i think that chris christie sort of put himself out there in terms of taking all of the hits and taking the questions and going through it. that was really his one shot to be reflective and just let the media have at him. at a certain point we may see this today with the speeches

he's going to perhaps turn more defiant and say i'm not going to let this get in the way of doing my job. i spent almost two hours answering questions. i'm happy to participate in any kind of investigation but i'm not going to be hamstrung by this. i imagine that's the tone we'll see from christie going forward. that seems to fit with his personality, which doesn't seem to back down from things. >> jimmy, we're hearing he's going to talk about education, specifically calling to extend the school day in new jersey and also apparently going to talk about lowering property taxes in the garden state. is he going to be able to still achieve this or is the speech going to be entirely overshadowed by the bridge scandal, by the other scandal that's starting to brew as well with regard to the tourism money? >> well, i think to be brutally honest, i think he can get things through his state legislature. it's simply a matter of how much more stuff will come out with regard to the scandal. you've got a federal

investigation. you have multiple state legislative committees that are going to be investigating this. if more turns up and if more heads fall within his office, i.e. staff, that's going to debill tate his legislative agenda to a degree. but don't think for a second that chris christie is not going to reach out to democrats. he's got a posse of democrats in the state senate and house that he's been working with for four years. >> are they still on his side, jimmy? this bipartisan posse that you speak of, are they still backing him? >> well, i think they'll back him until they don't have to. the bottom line, they'll be reup for re-election as well. if it looks like -- the last thing the new jersey house and senate want to do is have a 9% approval rate. they want to produce legislation to get things done. new jersey voters will not tolerate having that stalemate trend, they won't allow it. >> alice, here's the thing, we're talking about it, folks writing about it. but in terms of its popularity

in new jersey, according to a recent poll, it has not taken much of a hit. his approval rating hovers around 60%, that's despite the fact according to this asbury park press poll, 80% said they believe more members of christie's administration will be implicated. how do you reconcile those numbers? 80% of the folks saying we think there's going to be more dirt dished but we still like the guy? >> given the fact that how he won his re-election by a landslide in a state that typically wouldn't have that for a republican goes to show you he is a popular guy and able to work across the aisle. the fact he took quick and decisive action, apologizing and holding people accountable, and heads did roll, they believe if there is anyone else responsible they will be shown the door. he is holding people accountable. we're not seeing the same type

of holding people accountable for problems we see in washington, d.c. but that's what the people of new jersey appreciate at least to this point -- >> alice, what did you mean by that last comment there? >> well, obviously, if you want to look at comparisons between what's happened here and this quote, scandal with what we had with benghazi -- >> why quote -- are you saying this is not a legitimate scandal? >> i'm saying that there's certainly cause for concern given that one person or a small handful of people certainly did call for these lane closures but no one died in the situation. we have benghazi and irs and nsa -- president obama is promoting people -- there hasn't been anyone held bltable in major scandal going on in washington, d.c. >> jimmy williams, 20 seconds, i'll end with you. >> staffers from chris

christie's office deliberately and maliciously screwed up people's traffic, school kids and emergency vehicles and that was all willful. it was one display of bullying and power. what happened in benghazi was a tragedy but no one legitimately said no security at that consula consulate. you can't even say the irs thing because liberal groups were exposed were targeted. let's just get real about this, okay. >> you took more than 20 seconds. >> sorry. >> big thanks to all of you. >> thank you. >> folks, we'll have live coverage of governor christie's state of the state address in trenton, new jersey, 3:00 eastern right here on msnbc. as the supreme court prepares to take up a highly charged case involving first amendment rights and abortion clinics, the new report out today shedding light on abortion rights in this country. we'll look at that. also ahead. texting in a movie theater, sets

tide churning and we're already seeing the tide turning because it's too far outside of the mainstream of where america is. >> what's behind this uptick you just mentioned? >> you know, it's really interesting. i think a lot of it is that we're seeing statehouses actually having been seized by tea party extremists who are sort of obsessed with the idea that women's reproductive freedom needs to be taken back to the 1960s. and what we're seeing is that when that's put to the test, when they are forced to own the decisions they are making legislatively, they lose at the ballot box. we saw that in the virginia governor's election, which is really important when we have 36 governors up for election in 2014. we certainly saw it in albuquerque where they resoundly defeated an abortion ban. >> not taken up a case since 2007, i believe. is that a good thing or bad thing for your organization as

far as its concerned? >> you know what, we think the law as it stands is critically important to protect women and doctors. it is not such distant history where we have seen doctors killed in the case of dr. tiller in kansas in the pews of his church. the anti-choice movement has a very long history of extreme violence and harassment towards women. and this buffer zone has been critically important to keeping women and doctors safe. so we seriously hope that the court is going to decide in favor of women and doctors and not with the anti-choice extremist on this one. >> elise hoague, thank you so much. >> cruise ship safety. a new report exposes why many crimes at sea go unreported to the public. plus the new wrinkle in the disappearance of madeleine mccann. and drop offs begins with arthritis pain... and a choice.

when it comes to crimes against passengers ats sea, a new report says the public is not getting the full story. kerry sanders is at the port of miami this afternoon. >> reporter: if i were attacked stabbedi standing on land this would be in the fbi crime reports, but if i was attacked on a ship at sea, that assault may know show up in the fbi statistics for years. a just released gao report says that's what makes it difficult for passengers to understand the crime rate on high seas. two years on the carnival cruise ship victory, janet powers was assaulted by another passenger. >> a man came and grabbed me by the hair and beat my head against the wall until i became unconscious. >> reporter: because it was on international waters fbi agents investigated. there are seven other categories

of cruise ship crime under the bureau's jurisdiction. while almost 11 million americans cruise each year, the government accountability office investigation revealed 78% of the crimes examined by the fbi were never listed in govern crime reports. the gao disclosed there were 287 alleged crimes ats sea in a four-year period, yet only 81 were publicly acknowledged. why the discrepancy? a 2010 law passed after the fatal costa concordia accident clearly says the only cases that will be reported are those the fbi closes. it was a law supported by the cruise ship industry. >> they take advantage of their situation and control the turf and gang. they are all of the umpires. >> the association that represents the industry issued a statement that says in part, cruising is one of the most enjoyable affordable and safe holiday vacation experiences

>> when he says very soon, what we believe the president means is friday, that is when president obama is expected to announce a hotly contested reforms after edward snow dszden caused the biggest security breach in u.s. history. will he be bold enough to seize this opportunity? adam schiff, congressman, you're a leader on the privacy issue. i want to talk about this bill you're introducing in just a moment. first, let's talk about what the president is probably going to do on friday. what do you think he needs to do? what would you like to hear from president obama on friday? >> i'd like to hear specifics on some of the changes he wants to see take place, in particular, i would love to hear him advocate for restructuring of that bulk m

meta data program, that we can use a month traditional approach of going to the telephone companies when we have reasons to believe a number is connected with a terrorist plot. similarly i think he'll layout steps to bolster confidence both at home and around the world that the eavesdropping we're doing is focused on the bad guys, the people that mean to do us harm. those involved in terrorist plots and there is no desire nor intent to gather the communications of innocent people. so i want to hear him layout the case of how we're going to build that confidence. very important for the cooperation we need around the world as well as important for our industries to maintain their position of leadership in a technology world. >> let's dive into your telephone metadata reform act as you have dubbed it. very sexy title there, by the way. >> yes. >> it specifically removes call records from the types of information that the government can obtain under section 215 of the patriot act. explain how this is going to, a, how it's going to change the

system that we have now, and, b, prevent future controversies like the one exposed -- like the ones exposed by mr. snowden? >> the current practices for the government to apply the fisa court and get all of this domestic call records in bulk. mind you, it's not the content of the calls but the numbers connected to other numbers, what number has been calling other number, rather than do that we would go to more traditional model when we had return to believe that a particular number was connected with a plot, we would go to providers and say, give us the numbers that these number have been in touch with. i think tech logically i think we can reduce the response times. the biggest argument made by the intelligence community by gathering the bulk data is to do it more quickly. i think we can get the response times down very short. >> congressman, you know that phone companies have said they are against this. what makes you think you're

going to be able to change their minds? >> this is certainly an image problem for the phone companies. they would rather not be involved at all. but the reality is they maintain these records anyway, they need to bill customers and need them for disputes. fcc requires them to keep records for a year and a half. they are already doing it. they could carry those records in a form that would make it more easily useable in a terrorism investigation, that's something we should ask them to do. but it's not something they are going to volunteer to do, but nonetheless i think they can be persuaded. >> before i let you go, i want to talk about the budget, house negotiators struck this trillion dollar deal to finance the government through september. among other things, it takes $25 million away from wall street regulators who are essentially supposed to be protecting the little guy from big banks. as a democrat how can you accept a concession like that one? >> it's hard. it's a bitter pill. on the other hand there are a

lot of things i can accept and do like in the bill. the restoration of funding forehead start and early head start, for example, so democrats got a lot of their priorities and republicans that wanted to water down or render that new cf d.c. ineffective, they got part of what they wanted and that's the nature of any big compromise. but what we all got is the avoidance of another shutdown, the avoidance of autopilot financing where we don't get to prioritize changing needs for the country. so on some, i think it's a victory and congress with very few it can claim. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you. >> two panels will investigate the september lane closures on the george washington bridge. >> our concern is that there was apparently a very massive abusive power and attempt to conceal that abuse of power. >> loyal team player, not rogue operative. >> this is the way the

administration does business, you're with them or you're not. >> so few republicans came to his defense. you talk about an acid test. >> there's something here that does not connect fully. >> for more on the chris christie bridge scandal joining me now from trenton, new jersey, michael isikoff. good day to you. let's start with these investigations, tell me about the two simultaneous investigations that the state legislature is conducting. and anymore subpoenas forthcoming? >> reporter: exactly, we've got the formation of a super committee by the general assembly that's going to be chaired by john wisniewski been heading the investigation so far. its scope has been broadened to include what -- to go right into the governor's office and what did the govern's people know and when did they know it. my understanding is when the new legislature is formally sworn in

on thursday, there will be new subpoenas coming and that could -- we would have subpoenas and first two will be bridget kelly, the former deputy chief of staff who got fired who sent that e-mail that sort of started the whole thing, time for some traffic problems in ft. lee. and also, bill stepien, the campaign manager. so two top christie aides who will be subpoenaed on thursday. separately the state senate has its own investigation going and we know the u.s. attorney in newark, paul fishman is reviewing to see whether any federal laws have been broken. multiple investigations right now. >> what do the people at the center of this controversy, david wildstein who went to school with christie and served at the port authority until his resignation and pleaded the fifth on the same day of the marathon news conference. this is how governor christie described their relationship at the news conference.

>> i have had no contact with david wildstein in a long time. a long time, well before the election. >> michael, you've probably seen this by now. the wall street journal today unearthed this picture from september 11th, the third day of the lane closures. it shows christie and center there wearing red tie, that is david wildstein. any explanation at this point? >> reporter: right, well i guess it all depends on the definition of well before the election, that was two months before the election. or less than two months actually. wildstein is the key player so far. he took the fifth amendment last week when he was called to testify. as far as anybody can tell, from the -- based on the testimony from the port authority, it was wildstein who directed these bridge closures. he was the one that ordered them, without even informing the executive director of the port authority. now, all we know is that prior

to his ordering those bridge closures, he had that one e-mail exchange with bridget kelly in the governor's office. so his testimony is crucial to getting to the bottom of what happened here. right now he's taking the fifth. he has indicated that if he gets immunity, he will talk, that could be interpreted in various ways, including that he's got a story to tell that may not be totally supportive of what hash said so far by the governor's office. we just don't know until we hear it. >> and the story goes on. michael isikoff. another congressman is retiring from politics. let's hit the political playground, congressman bill owens, democrat from new york now announced that he is retiring and will not seek a fourth term. he says he wants to undertake new endeavors and spend more time with family. more than a dozen other members of congress have announced their retirement so far in the 113th

congress. some house republicans may not be too happy with senator ted cruz today after he announced his new deputy chief of staff. cruz has hired paul teller, fired last month from the republican study committee, accused of leaking information to outside groups. a wyoming lawmaker is pushing to bring back the firing squad as a means for killing death row inmates. republican state senator bruce burns says if lethal injection is not available, a firing squad is practical because he says building a gas chamber would cost too much and he considers that a crueler method. mitt romney looking like a guy with nothing to lose. there he is letting it all hang out. that was mitt romney gangham style at the conference for young mormons in arizona. you might recognize the moves from the viral video, maybe not.

we want to update you on breaking news, a shooting in a middle school in roswell mm new mexico, four students have been taken to the hospital and two of the students in critical condition. it was a 14-year-old boy who was shot and 13-year-old girl, both of them have been airlifted to a nearby hospital. the other two patients are also minors and being treated in roswell, new mexico, at the eastern new mexico medical center. we've got a crew en route but parents are being told to pick up their students at the nearby mall. the kids were bussed to a nearby mall. the school, we're told at the top of the hour, about 400 students go to berrendo middle school. four kids shot. two of them are in critical condition. middle schoolers, berrendo

middle school. we continue to follow this story. we'll have much more information as we continue to gather more details. here's a quick look at some of the other headlines making news right now. southwest airlines has grounded two pilots who landed that passenger jet at the wrong missouri airport. they are on paid leave until a federal investigation is finished. calls to keep retail giant target accountable are getting louder. jay rockefeller and claire mccaskill has written to the ceo to request detailed information on the recent data breach. seven years after the disappearance of madeleine mccann, arrests could be coming. they have asked for permission to bring three men into custody. michelle kosinski is live following developments. what more can you tell us about the potential break in the case?

>> we only know what's been reported in the press here in britain. because scotland yard who has been working with or trying to work with portuguese authorities for the last few years, remember, british authorities opened up their own investigation of madeleine mccann's disappearance, even though it didn't happen in their own country, because portuguese police had closed the case. we know that british police again have asked the portuguese for some information. what they admitted that they did was send a letter of request. but they won't say exactly what that request was for. british press are reporting they want to arrest three men identified in these reports as burglaries who allegedly made a lot of cell phone calls among one another in the hours after madeleine mccann disappeared. police don't want to say a lot at this point. they basically told us, if we were going to make arrests or we wanted to make arrest why we would say anything about it?

if this is true, what the papers are reporting, that three men are being looked at and police want to question them, this could be a significant development. >> nbc's michelle kosinski in london, thank you. as michelle obama celebrates a milestone birthday this week. you may not know the first lady swls you think you do. our next guest takes us through five myths about michelle obama. stay with us. you make a great team. it's been that way since the day you met. but your erectile dysfunction - it could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis.

good to see you. >> hi, how are you? >> let's talk about these myths. the first one that she is, you know, she's the most fashion friendly first lady. how is that a myth? >> well, it's a myth only in that it sort of does a disservice to first ladies who preceded her. she most definitely has a style and an exuberance for the fashion industry that is remarkable but others have hosted fashion shows at the white house and attended fashion events. laura bush, for instance, actually attended new york fashion week. >> that's right. >> myth number two, and i certainly understand the roots of this particular myth. known for that let's move campaign. myth number two, she's a food tyrant. >> not so? >> not so. all you needed to do was look at the thanksgiving menu of the

first family and note there were nine different varieties of pies to let you know that she is not a food tyrant at all. it's about moderation. >> and also spent some time, i understand, if i remember correctly down in d.c., she spent time hanging out at the sugar shack. >> they totalled up the calories consumed in one visit and it was about 1700. every now and then. it's not bad. >> it's all about moderation. myth number three, her legacy is going to either be let's move or joining forces. we know she spends a great deal of time with the vice president's wife as well, with jill biden, working with veterans. those aren't going to be her legacies? >> my argument is that those are the most high profile of her initiatives but i think one of the things that people forget is that sort of philosophy that is woven throughout all of her events is really about youth

mentoring and the idea of paying it forward. so that i think could in fact be her most lasting legacy, the idea that youth can be brought into the white house in a way that is sort of a learning experience for them. >> michelle obama hates area alma mater, princeton. >> as an alum of princeton, i i have to say i think this got the most reaction from readers. it came about her senior these sis was unearthed during the first campaign. and in it she expressed a certain amount of a.m. bif lens about her experience there as a black student. in contrast to that, she has -- did, for instance, as a freshman encourage other black high school students to attend the university. and she has been very warm to alumni and to faculty. and i think she's also embraced

the informal motto of university, which is princeton in the nation service. my favorite myth, that michelle obama represents an unusual success story. >> yeah, the success story that i'm referring to is this idea of the wife, the mother and the successful professional and doing it all while being black. i think what people have often missed is that those women like michelle obama have existed for some time. they are just not part of popular culture. we didn't really see them on television. we didn't really see them in movies. that's changing but the reality is that she was part of a group that had for a very long time been in the shadows. >> at the start of the article you wrote the first lady quote to some she was emblem attic of fully realized african-american

womanhood and incomparable fashion icon, to others the voice of racial grievance and seventh avenue vanity. she has proven herself to be neither vengeful nor the patron saint of activist feminism. what else has she proven about herself really quickly, robin? >> i think she's proven that she could bring, i think a very contemporary vision of what it means to be a woman today and that mix of being educated and thoughtful and fashionable, but also being a home body, like keeping -- what do you call it, home fires burning. these very three dimensional which in part may be why people of mystified because there's not this narrow notion of her. >> robin givehan from the weapon "washington post," thanks. >> that's going to do it for me
