you've been very patient and i go to michelle now she gave a big sign there i know where it came from michelle go ahead. it just amazes me because i used or and this is obviously talking about amnesty all the way down the board and i don't care which way you want to make the sandwich it's still a baloney sandwich ok the reality is this these people are taking jobs that americans will do yeah granted there might be some of those jobs in the fields as you know picking fruit or what have you in california i'm here in phoenix arizona we have these illegal alien day laborers aligning our streets at the wal-mart at the home depot and they are doing what picking fruit you know they're doing construction jobs they're doing painting they're building homes that should be given jobs to american guys we've got contractors american contractors home builders that have to compete in the lower their wages because the illegal aliens are lining our streets and believe me they're not taking up five dollars an hour ok because i can tell you a matter

really, michelle? i think that is hair -- harsh. i think he is trying to balance two con stitch wednesdaycys with separate views. another says -- okay. listen to this one which rockies of compromise and trying to see both sides. -- what do you think? i think it is a pretty good idea. i always like to point out to those who can't wait to celebrate the civil war that it was, after all, an illegal rebellion and if it had succeeded the united states of america, as we know it, the country that is more than once stepped up to save the free world very well might never have come to be. mcginty's mail bag only came to be because you time hundred took the time to drop us a line. that's our report. i will be back here tonight at 11:00 along with anita and tonight, $25,000 on the line for a local university and it all hinges on the ability to perform the scene from hawaii 50. see the university of maryland ban the rendition tonight at 11:00. and log on anytime to wusa9.com. we will see you a bit later. have aggrade great evening. bye-bye. >>> no

think we can continue that discussion on the next board meeting. >> my name is michelle, i am the parent of two students, a member of the parent advisory council. this is the illness of her daughter. i would also like to welcome the new student delegates. you're welcome at any time to attend a meeting. i will pretty much run through the report that was e-mail to you. this fall, members are going through strategic planning process. especially as it relates to student achievement, considering issues that we have heard parents concerned about identified through the community out reach over the past few years. and parents can effectively support the success of the achievement gap. there are a lot of new initiatives in the community. and following the priorities of access, and can be a little confusing to understand how these initiatives are being coordinated among the staff. and how the opportunities are being communicated to family. even though that includes parent empowerment. it is really heartening to hear the superintendent's comments. we are not quite there yet. we want to decide how t

the ones i had. michel and i'm sorry but the screaming attitude doesn't help for for us to be able to have a conversation about immigration by the way to tell you that i am japanese michel that's not that's number you tell you that very night on a no please michel please we must separate so this is a record that people are quite. common in this is no this is a show over three people no no no don't tell me what i have four hundred. one please go no no no i am not going to speak if she's not going to let me out myself michaud no my michelle these there is a difference no reason to bring us on this program i remember you say yeah ask a question of each person now i'm going to one please there you go thank you very much i do appreciate it i think that we must separate border security from immigration and i believe the talk today is about immigration most u.s. citizens and i found this throughout the world and i've been outspoken in front of the united nations with regard to the rights of immigrants most u.s. ci

we dwell on theroblems so often, i want's not constructive. michelle and the mayor losing the primary. i want to get to that in a minute. i want to ask you, what's working since you've been chancellor? what's the good news? >> well, the good news is what we'vehown over the last 3 1/2 years washington, d.c. is that if you prioritize education, if you make it the number one issue in the city, you have the political leadershipnd the courage to make tough decisions that you can see tremendous progress in a short period of time over the last three years we've gone from being, you know, worst amongst all urban jurisdictions in the country to actually leading the nation in games in our progress of students on the examination in reading and math. so, i think it basically shows if you have -- if you have a -- if you have a singular focus and you really are prioritizing, making those tough decisions that progress can result. >> and, what are you finding in detroit aout what's working right now? >> well, a lot of things are working in detroit. i think i would lik

hello and welcome to the business program with michel i was folly to a new car plans operated by foreign companies have opened in st petersburg experts say the high and i am magna factories will substantially to the development of the country's automated industry prime minister vladimir putin officially opened both enterprises and promised to continue supporting foreign investors and tell you how clover reports from st petersburg. it took russia a lot of effort and money to steer the car industry out of the crisis and though it's too early to reap all the benefits some progress can already be seen as sales of locally made cars are back to growth and global brands expand their presence the russian government is seeking to develop the domestic manufacturing base by ensuring local production of car components but. this is that we will create more attractive investment terms in russia to make it profitable for foreign companies to work here we will also make sure the production will be of the necessary quality in volume to cover the demands of the internal russian market and provide good ter

. >> i have had a lot of complimentary things to say about michelle rhee. >> he insists that he needs more time to determine her fate. >> i am committed to continuing with education reform. >> despite the speculation and worry, this long-term resident is not concerned with or without michelle rhee. >> i think she did a good job, but it is not about one person. >> we know that they are expected to meet sometime this week to discuss provision, her future, to see if the two can work together. we hear that meeting might be wednesday. it is still cloaked in quite a bit of a mystery. mr. gray has not talked directly to candidates for that chancellor list. >>> we are hearing from the family of the johns hopkins doctor who was shot in the hospital. his family issued a statement saying that he is recovering and is in good condition. they appreciate the outpouring of support and concern for the doctor, but they are asking -- asking for privacy. >>> a husband on trial for killing his wife claims that too much caffeine lead to a false confession. the defense argued that caffeine from its soda, en

so, michelle, i don't believe that. the globe, i mean, if you were trying to get people to buy-- i don't know what it would be. would it be-- i mean, this is, you

jump in i jump in here ok michele jump in first you go first and then we'll go to i am i actually agree with not what matters said but i just want to add something about how this is seen in washington i think there's a sense in washington in american policy circles that the middle east is such a risky place it's so brittle american interests there are so vital that. an official sometimes are unwilling to take the kind of risks that natter described you know to kind of go with you know the fact that an islamist government like the hamas government was elected that might not you know initially at least might not go along with american and western interests in the region and that's the debate that that goes on in washington now you know should we sort of try to limit the risks as much as possible and therefore not not encourage rapid change on the other hand other people argue that you know this situation can only go on so long and if the united states doesn't stand in favor of reform now that more drastic changes will happen later ok stephen you want to jump in

michelle, the sister on our great producer ingrid. i rely on ingrid an awful lot, michelle. >> can i ask you a question, it'll only take three hours. ingrid. >> michelle you have a great sister and you have a great birthday, all right? happy birthday, michelle. >>> if you're having a birthday, you don't have to be related to anybody who works here. just be you. we'd love to say happy birthday. e-mail us all the information, including a photo to morningshow@wmar.com. >>> another exciting thing to announce here on air: we're counting down the days to komen maryland's race for the cure. we'd love for you to join us. sunday, october 3rd in hunt valley. abc2 news will be live on the air to broadcast the whole event. the broadcast starts 7:00 in the morning, two hours of fun, live on the air, we want you to join us, register for the big race, head to our website, abc2news.com. when you get there, look at the top of the page, scroll down to the lifestyle tab and click on think pink. >>> coming up next: i think this video's going to stay with y

i don't want this to to be an issue between michelle and myself. the bottom line is they are trying to eliminate them back in 2004. >> where teachers have been taken from the classroom. >> i tried to eliminate them back in 2004 and i'm glad we have been able to do that. the bottom line is this. what happened in washington, d.c. is that a moment in time a few months ago. the chancellor, the washington teacher's union, myself and some others who were helping to spearhead this got to a contract. a contract that should have given and should give the tools and conditions that are tools and conditions to management and tools and conditions to teachers. this year when michelle actually fired about 150 people, what the union asked for is just tell us why you fired these folks. in fact last year when she fired about 150 people, i think that was the concern as well. tell us why you fired these folks. >> from a parent and a community perspective, our nation is failing and failing economically because of the failure of public schools and from a parent's perspec

michelle? >> i wanted to say when i started these caucus things, john conyer used to sit up here, he would end up moderating the whole thing, so i'm not used to john not moderating or congressman scott too. anyway, since the dean told you about the history of howard university, i do want to say i have a new book coming out in october called "power and words". it's president obama's speeches first time he ran for senate and why they did everything that they did which you might find interesting. it's coming out in october. i do not believe dean or unless it was ken, one of you said it, that he would have been surprised by somebody trying to use the 14th amendment for whatever they tried to use it for today. i don't think -- i think they had an awareness that people use constitutional amendments and law for whatever they can. i did know thurgood, but i don't think he would have been surprised about that. it's one of the things you expect as life goes on. it's there, and as miller said, not only negroes

michelle? >> iarted these caucus things, john conyer used to sit up here, he would end up moderating the whole thing, so i'm not used to john not moderating or congressman scott too. anay, since the dean told you about the history of howard university, i do want to say i have a new book coming out in october called "power and words" it's president obama's speeches first time he ran for senate and why they did everything that they did which you might find interesting. it's coming out in october. i do not believe dean or unless it was ke one of you said it, that he would have been surprised by somebody trying to use the 14th amendment for whatever they tried to use it for today. i don't think -- i think they had an awareness that people use constitutional amendments and law for whatever they can. i did know thurgood, but i don't think he would have been surprised about that it's one of the things you expect as life goes on. it's there, and as miller said, not only negroes use it, anybody can use it. w

was said, that woman eloquentxp elained how she's goinback to hot dog and beans and he sd i remember whe michelle and i were eating hot dog and beans and paying off school loans but he failed to connect that way. he is prefaceoral. he had a meeting with axel rod and said you ha to connect better with voters. that's his weakness, they acknowledge that and will have to change. chris: bill clinton, how he walked up to the woman, they said deficit and he said recession and there was no doubt he connected. >> there's no doubt bill clinton is one of the best politicians of his era and no doubt. but i think what we forget is what obama was like during the campaign. he was not always pitch perfect. there were times when his supporters, his advisors were worried that he wasn't communicating very effectively with the public. but i also think that we can't forget that obama is facing some problems that neither reagan nor clinton faced. the recession is worse, he was stuck with two wars and it is hard to make the case that i have brought change when things are still as bad as they are. chris: reagan had an 1

michelle, i want to start with you. the study sheing early childhood education is so important until later in life, how so? >> enormously so. one of the scientific proofs when looking at longitudeinal studies from infancy to 42 years of age, what we discovered is that early learning, if done well in a quality child care that focuses on language and relationships, you already give that child the jump start so they walk into that kindergarten door, really, the achievement gap is already big to the point here, it's diminishing. so, the kids got a jump start and a chance. >> as we talk about these tough economic times, wes, i want to talk to you. i grew up in baltimore and the state of maryland a $250 million federal grant as raced to the top, they achieved that. you grew up in baltimore and the school system failed you atten early age. how do you think they should go ahead and utilize that money now? >> it's extremely important, specifically when you look at the statistics of where we are at now. particularly for low-incom

for the first time since winning the primary, a democrat vincent gray will sit down with michelle rhee. >> i have been very clear on my education stance of what is important to me. some of those things are good at what she attempted to do. some of those are broader. i want to see how she envisions d.c. and sell larger education apparatus. >> the head of schools is going in with backing from the obama administration. u.s. education secretary arne duncan is a fan and michelle rey and would like to see her stay. the presumptive next mayor and chancellor have had a rocky relationship. vincent gray said he would consider hiring back more than the 200 teachers that were fired. >> it pains me to be in a situation where i could surely be leaving this reform effort that has so much promise. >> concerned about the future of education are d.c. residents who had mixed reactions. >> i think if she is performing well, i don't see any reason to get rid of her. >> i am not quite sure i like the way teachers were terminated. i think she should finish it out but maybe after that, we may need another chancello

i can get. >> we're getting prepared. michelle, can you bring us to the fast forward of the state to the new jim crowe and the relationship to these discussions about what we thoughtas an underlying support system in the form of the 14th amendment? >> yes -- >> bring your mic closer. >> my title of the book is the new m crow in the new age. it's meant to be provocative in the age of obama and color blindness doesn't believe an akin currently exists in the united states. i argue that in fact, there is a system that functioning much like capped systems that we supposedly left behind. the mass incarration of poor people of color in e united states operates as a system of racial control that manages to relegate millions of poor people of color to a permanent second-class status by law and cuesment. now the 14th amendment was clearly intended to eradicate racialast in america, and the 14th amendment didn't manage prevent the rise of jim crow or manage to prevent the emergence of mast incarceration in the united states either. most peop

i just hope that all of the supervisors' vote no on this. thank you. chair avalos: thank you. next speaker, please. michelle, ron, rich, amalia. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is andrew. i realize the city is trying to absorb costs that do not stem from us or other bars, and we do provide training, alcohol and beverage commission trading, and we do follow all of the laws and the fees that have been imposed. it was said that this was one year in the making, and i find it hard to believe that this is the root of the problem. the basic structure of this, it does not fall on to small businesses. this is going to close small businesses. excuse me. close small businesses and caused economic decline further in our city. when the supervisors asked earlier if anyone had seen an economic or sky falling impact on helping san francisco, -- some have been fired, and they're people who supported the city for many, many years, and now, they are out of a job. i can see that happening with servers, wait staff, bartenders. people who will be getting laid off due to the increase in prices. small businesses will not s

. >> let's get more on the story now from nbc's michelle. >> i will not stop. >> reporter: that was bethion trip to aruba. last seen getting into a car with joran van der sloot. today, beth has kept her promise. has not stopped. this week headed down to the dusty hills outside lima, peru, to castro castro prison to confront joran, face-to-face. beth, with a dutch news crew, got inside the lock up where joran is awaiting trial for murder and he became her captive audience. her attorney says for several minutes beth holloway did all the talking. very difficult emotionally for her, telling joran that the united states is still watching him. that whatever happens in peru he still faces an indictment for extortion here. that if he knows something about what happened to natalee, it's time to tell is now, not ten years down the road, but now. his lawyer says beth told joran directly, she has no hate in her soul for him and that joran then handed her his attorney's phone number saying he couldn't talk about it. prison officials realizing this is part of a television taping hustled beth and the g

i remember the quote. this is word for word. michelles and whatever. and i thought i developed a pretty thick skin. this women said i was -- this is word for word, "a milky, affectless mook" -- it keeps going. -- "with unformed features and a kindergartener's ircut on the first of school." [ laughter and applause ] thank you. thank you. i looked up mook. i looked up mook 'cause i was like, "what is -- what is a mook, exactly?" i've never -- and it sounded weirdly like it could be inappropriate somehow. mook, according to the urban dictionary is, and i quote, "an archetypal young male who acts like a moronic bonehead. they are self-centered mpletons who live a drunken frat boy lifestyle." so, yeah. >> jimmy: well, i should say -- i should say -- >> it doesn't get worse than this. >> jimmy: i should say, i ue the name michelle orange as a pen name.

[applause] >> good morning, my name is michelle simon. i want to first save for the record that we are not about free vote -- prohibition, trying to hold the of all industry accountable for the unfortunate cost of doing business. i would invite everyone here to join us in our fight to hold the bigger of all companies responsible. i find it interesting that anheuser-busch has recently announced that it is going to raise prices. apparently that company has done the economics to figure out that customers can absorb increased prices. everyone here seems to admit that there are problems and we have to fund these programs somehow. thank you very much. >> good morning, supervisors. i am an alcoholic as well. i would be out on the streets and homeless, sucking up the resources of san francisco the street is dying from alcoholism, you can see the value in helping these people get treatment. thank you. >> my name is lesley tenn., in a wine merchant in san francisco. i can tell you that wholesalers always take advantage of an increase in prices and if

. >> michelle obama, i think, has enormous power in energizing the base and reenergying the base where that's necessary. >> reporter: the first lady has scored points with americans through her efforts to curb childhood obesity and her role as a mom and fashion icon. liberals believe that star power could help shrink their growing enthusiasm gap against voters. >> even if you're not a big fan of president obama there's a lot of people who still like michelle obama as a person, as a role model. >> reporter: come november democrats hope mrs. obama will earn the same name she earned during the 2008 presidential campaign which was the closer. tara mergener, cbs news, washington. >>> a new poll in maryland's gubernatorial race shows the candidates are running neck and neck. mark o'malley holds a 50 to 47% lead over former governor bob ehrlich the race is a virtual dead heat. >>> the highly-anticipated meeting between vincent gray and michelle reich will happen thursday she is questioned gray's commitment to school reforms and has said she didn't think she could work for him. on the other ha

i had a different idea about how america was built. [applause] it was an idea rooted in my own family's story. michelle and i are where we are today because even though our families did not have much, they worked tirelessly without complaint so that we might have a better life. my grandfather marched off to europe in world war two while my grandmother worked in factories on the home front. i had a single mom who put herself through school and would not -- and would wait before dawn to make sure i got a decent education. michelle can still remember her father heading out to his job as a city worker long after multiple sclerosis admitted impossible for him to walk without crutches. he always got to work. he just had to get up a little early. yes, our families believed in the american values of self- reliance and individual responsibility and they instill those values. and their values -- in their children. they believe in a country that rewards responsibility. , a country that rewards hard work, a country built on the promise of opportunity and upward mobility. they believed in an america that gave my gr

people want it because it's down to you ok i'll show you my cards i mean you're not iranian regime i'm talking to me showing talking to michelle regime i'm talking to a show right now ok but show i mean is it really because it's not a western liberal democracy that is just like us because that's what he gets to when he gets into the greater middle east do you agree or disagree with that. well i would disagree i mean i think first of all. the promotion of democracy i mean the united states is founded on the idea that that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights of both the majority and the minority in a country and so forth but that there can be many different translations it certainly doesn't have to be the particular american brand of democracy this is been part of u.s. foreign policy that that somehow in the world the united states would be trying to promote the growth of democracy and the growth of human rights it's been part of u.s. foreign policy from the beginning and i would say particularly in the last century or so with woodrow wilson it's been exercised very inconsistently and an evenly in diff

i haven't seen michelle rhee around here. i haven't seen the city administrator here.he mayor's family is here. we should point that out. they're in this room up here to my left. i've seen his mother. saw the back of his wife. his nephew is here. the family is here. and we would expect to hear from the mayor at some point. obviously when we have more numbers and there is a clarification of how this night is going to end. but right now i don't even think there is as much optimism in this room. i'm not going to go as far as shock or disbelief or anything like that, because they don't have enough numbers and these people have been around campaigning. as a matter of fact, a lot of these people have never been on a losing campaign. adrian fenty he won his amc. he won his effort to run for mayor. this would be the first defeat for him. but i can't overstate how big a defeat this would be since four years ago adrian fenty had it all. he won every single precinct. he is the only elected mayor in the city to win a majority of both the white and black votes. you can't say it any

i can't answer that question. >> larry: ben, you made a strong statement in favor of michelle rhee --est. she is the best. washington, d.c., is my hometown. i love washington. she has done miracle there is. i look at that city, there's one part of it that's called upper northwest, which is west of north rock creek park. the kids there have parents who are rich, who can help them with their homework, she's working on the other kids, the kids who are east of the park, who have difficult home lives, who come from neighborhoods of violence. she's saying, we care about you. we're going to save your lives. i hope and pray she has kept on. she is an american saint. >> larry: steve, is there a tinge of racism in this? why is a white school better than a black school? >> i don't think there's a tinge of racism in -- well, let me take that back. yeah, there is. let me do what i do. definitely. because we have low expectations for certain people's children. we expect that it's okay that there's a 50% dropout rate. there are some schools that there's a 70% dropout rate. would you get in a vehicle

i think michelle obama will, too. i want the first lady to do. this i think particularly for children, they have got to get the message you just can't be eating this garbage all the time because that's what kids want to eat because it tastes good. adults, i agree with you. the government can't be telling us if we want to eat big macs all day long, yes, that's our freedom. yes, it does hurt our contemporaries because a lot ofs have you to pay for those health care bills. >> but adults ought to make their own choices. >> bill: even when it intrudes on the public health sector? >> yeah, her own husband doesn't do what she says. >> bill: you can believe the "l.a. times" did this? wrote the article on michelle obama and put pictures of president obama eating junk food throughout the whole article. that's snarky of the "l.a. times." >> that's the best thing i read. >> i don't know why they didn't slip a picture of dick cheney in there eating a taco or something. usually that's the way they do it? >> lynne cheney wasn't pushing good eating habits. >> he

i just play one on tv, andy. >> michelle obama wants us to be reprogramed. you say the use of the word reprogramming frightens you. i think she thinks everybody is married to a robot. >> terrible. >> we can't even joke about it. >> not on my watch. >> to be fair and balanced, she never actually used the word reprogramming in her speech. >> really? where did it come from? >> andrew malcom. she put it in his article. >> sorry, michelle. >> that's okay. >> inez, science, greg. >> i guess she blinded me by her science. >> i guess she did. >> and pepper spray. >> you said she was there as part of a story that had something to do you don't care about. she was there for mark sanchez, the only latino quarterback in the nfl you racist gringo. >> i am not a racist -- no, i just don't care about that guy. all i care about is her. is that so wrong? >> yes. >> diana, you said it is good clinton portis apologized. here is the apology he wrote from the heart. he said, quote, i was wrong to make the comments i did and i apologize. i respect the job all reporters do. it is a
