a federal judge has ruled republican governor scott walker's controversial law stripping workers of all their union rights is constitutional and collective bargaining does not violate rights. i've shown this to you a million times. it's crystal clear and indisputable that as union membership declines, so does the middle class. right now the middle class is under attack and the income equality gap is getting bigger. 95% of the income gains went to the wealthiest americans. last year, the top 10% of earners got about half of the country's household income. those in the top 1% made more than 19%, which is the biggest

there's a lot of people i know for scott walker. >> i think he's terrific. i don't know he's a national candidate. >> those are two successful governor's, states that are swing states, and they've been auditioning on cable tv, so i think they're both interested in being a national candidate. >> there's a big card to play. >> not the governor of alaska. >> walker is the one governor whom i think it go in. >> do you think he can win? >> he's very personalable. >> and he's been a very effective governor. >> is he roman catholic? >> i don't know. >> does she have twins? >> do i have the right guy? >> he's not good on unions. >> paul walker and john casey are both being pushed. >> john casik has twins. >> who can win? >> either one can win this time around, but, again, republicans appreciate seniority. you have to run once to get your name out there and some experience and then you run the second time in order to win. so, what wouldn't surprise me is if they both got it. >> do you think after four years and obama, the people would be ready for a republican? >> i

wisconsin governor scott walker ran on a campaign pledge to create a quarter of a million new jobs in his first term. so far, wisconsin's added 89- thousand. our cover story looks at how wisconsin and other states plan to find their way upward in the recovery. wisconsin governor scott walker blames slow job growth on his critics who protested his anti- labor policies shortly after taking office and pushed for a recall election, last year. "employers in the state were frozen. they were uncertain what was going to happen with the recall. but i think by the end of the year, we'll see a significant increase." in terms of job growth, the labor department ranks wisconsin 34th in the nation--- recovering--- slower than the national average by about half. but illinois is 39th and indiana 21st. with that in mind, regional leaders meeting in chicago, suggested advanced manufacturing may lead the economic way out. one key is how to encourage young people to go into it---and impress upon them that it is not necessarily assembly line work. "it's not your grandfather's manufacturing. you need compu

scott walker, he just enrages people on the far left.ly runs pretty mainstream -- gives a pretty mainstream speech. you're right, we need more women. we need more hispanics. i think the tone has changed. i think people realize that. i think we're moving in that direction. that's what i saw this weekend. i completely agree that we need more of that representation of the party or we're done. >> three quick points. i think senator paul's observations are made by a guy, like the dog who got the car. uh-oh, the house sent us this, we don't have 60 votes for a filibuster, what are we going to do? he's trying to get out of the way of the train. michelle is right. you saw the chairman of the party say after the president was re-elected that 58-page manifesto, we have to -- we're not going to win elections if we don't have women voting for us and we have to be embracive. others have tried to take that message and just yank it with all of their force to the right, and, again, this will not be settled until the debate within the party is do we have

krauthammer has, coburn, scott walker.ll of the people h he calls members of the surrender caucus. we we are all against obamacare. we think it is bad for america, bad for business, the wrong way to deliver health care to america. we think there is a better way to do it. that doesn't mean we have to agree with one of the stupidest tactics i have ever seen in modern american b politics. to run into fixed bayonets. this is, again, willy geist, this is like someone looked at old films of bud wilkinson and said the coach was great, he won 5 straight games in h a row and deid sided last night since the wishbone worked for bud, we'll implement the wishbone h in the nfl in september of 2013. it's a tactic that won't work. it's obvious on its face. >> it's a tactic that won't work, gene, and it allows harry reid to not address concerns about obamacare. it allows reid to call republicans anarchists, nancy pelosi to call republicans arsonists. that's the frustration. the republicans are all painted with the ted cruz brush. >> they a

scott walker and george, you name it.d. we have the debt ceiling and the continuing resolution in front of us. a lot of us are spending the morning discussing this. a lot of us are confused about what the republicans are going to do. are you going to not pass the senate version of the cr and let the government shut down or pass a clean cr and wait to fight it out on the debt ceiling. what is the republican strategy at this point? >> i don't want to get in john boehner's way. they said we should move on from that and go to the debt ceiling. i don't want to get in the way of a conference this morning. we will find out what's going to happen. my bottom line is we cannot allow that to shut down. i don't want the government to shut down. they are saying that the president should come to the table and negotiate. we can have meaningful negotiations over the debt ceiling. we are on firmer ground and a lot more progress can be made especially low that the polling wants to negotiate. >> good to see you. i want to follow-up on joe's

then the current governors like chris christie and scott walker and andrew cuomo who want to use reelectionto make a statement about broad appeal. >> they said it couldn't be done. new jersey was too broken and too partisan. they never met chris christie. chris christie, the governor. >> then another way to do this is pick your spots approach. that's what the bigger names do. hillary clinton and jeb bush. they have take advantage of a small moment and make it big. then there is the own an issue approach, the senator ted cruz effort or senator elizabeth warren's crusade. the potential candidate mounting the least traditional early campaign in this invisible primary is rick perry desperately in need of image rehabilitation after his disastrous 2012 campaign. he is rebuilding by picking fights with blue state democratic governors on the issue of jobs. his visit to a baretta gun manufacturing facility is the latest stop on a whistle stop campaign around the country to steal business for texas. he targeted governors in connecticut and new york. when he zeros in, they buy billboards and tv ads ev

scott walker, tom barrett and business leaders from around the state broke the ice at milwaukee's brand-new global water center, a six year, $80 million effort to transform the city into the nation's preeminent. >> this is to fashion milwaukee as the fresh water capital of the world. >> located odd fresh water way. the former clothing factory now serves as a high-tech water incubator. it houses 25 companies and organizations exploring all things water from purification to using algae to treat waste water. dean amhaus spear heads the efforts. he says collaboration is key. >> here, you have a vice president working with a high-claim professor with an entrepreneur on the second floor. they are here day-in and day-out. you don't see that anywhere else. >> located near three rivers in lake michigan, milwaukee thrived catering to water-intensive industries like tanneries, meat packing and the world's four biggest breweries but rapidly deindustrialation resulted nad city deep in debt follow owed on you by urban blight and in desperate need of jobs. >> the overall need of the water council is econo

scott walker perceives himself as a future presidential candidate. shame. because wisconsin has had one of the most stellar rollouts of health care coverage under, ironically, republican governors like former health and human services secretary, tommy thompson. we have modeled badger care program that took care of adults through the medicaid program. >> congresswoman, very quickly, i wanted to just mention one of the measures that we saw kind of thrown last night, i feel like women get thrown under the bus when push comes to shove, was this amendment, this idea that to delay access to medical services for women as part of this battle over the cr. as you pointed out, actually being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition. but why is it that time and time again, it's women's rights that, again, seem to be thrown under the bus when it's like, hey, we're just going to throw in the kitchen sink of all this stuff we want? >> that's a question i want to throw back to your audience. because over half of the electorate are women. women are the majority

scott walker has arguably a stronger case to make. he won a recall election.e made the same kinds of moves he would argue that he stuck with it with sort of less flash, he's right next to iowa. >> a joint state in the general election. >> rose: does chris christie have any claim that he is a kind of, has a kinship with tea party. >> people would say he's the conservative. the rudy giuliani, he is more conservative than he ever was but chris christie's claim to tea party energy was he was elected in the early part of wave, elected in 2009. that is a legitimate point. >> rose: marco rubio. >> he was a tea party guy. >> rose: still or has he moved on immigration and places that calls for a redefinition. >> he has a base problem right now. i don't think most people would disagree with that. where he is on the syria vote is interesting. >> christie's conservatism or tea party appeal was mostly tonal. he was sort of brash. he was willing to say this president has failed. maggie is exactly right he's not really rudy giuliani but he's not rand paul or cruz other. if y

a federal judge has ruled republican governor scott walker's controversial law stripping workers of allining does not violate rights. i've shown this to you a million times. it's crystal clear and indisputable that as union membership declines, so does the middle class. right now the middle class is under attack and the income equality gap is getting bigger. 95% of the income gains went to the wealthiest americans. last year, the top 10% of earners got about half of the country's household income. those in the top 1% made more than 19%, which is the biggest share since 1928, a year before the stock market crash. and as the 2007 to 2009 recession recedes, and we continue to grow better, the rich are getting richer. make no mistake, the banks system did crumble. consumers and investors lost faith along with their savings, and many corporations went bankrupt, but president obama bailed out that sinking ship, much to the dismay of many liberals. the claim that obama is a socialist is dead wrong. workers in the united states are now competing with low-wage labor in other developing countries

the overwhelming majority back people like tom coburn, paul ryan, scott walker, charles krauthammer, conservative icons who are smart enough to know this is not how you actually win elections. >> and to point out there's more than nothing that republicans can do. there's been 21 laws passed and signed by the president that have changed obama care as it was originally passed. there's work we can do to passaic this law that's so unpopular and we believe is a bad policy better. >> mika it sounds like we have a developing news story. >> ron allen is crouching behind a car near the mall in nairobi. there was a hostage situation. ron what's the latest at this point? >> reporter: well, we heard several loud explosions, the biggest we've heard in the two days we've been here. there's a huge cloud of dark smoke rising above this maul. the government is launching a final assault. there's been a concern that the hostage takers may have explosives. everybody is laying flat down hiding taking cover because there's also sporadic gunfire in the neighborhood. unclear exactly why that's happening. we

everybody from paul ryan to scott walker to charles krauthammer, you name it they are out there sayingever had a chance of passing and it's not about conservatism it's about bad tactics. >> it's quite stunning, joe. one of the cardinal rules of being a republican is thou shall not attack another republican. we heard that so much during the 2012 primaries when we had those spirited debates. to hear this on capitol hill which ordinarily is always pegged off the record, and this time around sort of no we're more than happy to say it not only do we want to say it we want the message to resonate with republicans around the country that these guys are so far out on a limb and so self-destructive to the party they need to be reined in. i posed the question you could have a rand paul drone style filibuster for fund the government. he said yes to use any procedural tools necessary. mike lee said it's not good a idea to have a shutdown. from house republicans identify spoken to they want ted cruz to put his money where his mouth is. we want to you extend this as long as you can. don't be surpris

. >>> a major victory for wisconsin governor scott walker.ed his controversial law stripping public workers of their union rights is constitutional. workers followed suit in 2011 ladies and gentlemening the vla violated their right to equal assembly or wage limits. the judge said it allows workers to assemble and speak freely it doesn't allow employers to listen. >>> we have some incredible new photos to show you. take a look. two dogs jumping from a balcony to escape a burning building. they were trapped on the second floor as the fire burned and they jumped to the ground as firefighters worked to save them. amazingly neither dog was hurt and they actually jumped to their owner who was standing below. >> now to a weather alert. brand new video shows intense flooding in colorado right now you can see the water rushing over a building it forced college students in boulder out of their dorms and even canceled classes today. >> in jamestown colorado one person was killed when flooding caused part of a building to collapse there. >> the national

2012, which is when most of the recall efforts of the republican senators, and the big recall of scott walker went the republican's way, despite all the activism. and then in september, 2013, same deal, in an off-year election, in an odd, odd off-year election in early september, the republican side won two seats yesterday in the recall elections in colorado. they replaced two center left to progressive democratic senators from democratic leaning districts and replaced them with conservative republicans. republicans who most importantly for this race are fundamentalists against gun regulations, but who also prefer things like personhood for fertilized eggs, those who would ban not just abortion, but birth control. the off-year advantage that republicans have in any off-year election, in this case in colorado, was bolstered particularly when the recall side got a vote banning by mail. voting by mail is really convenient and the way that colorado is used to vote it. they have had it for a long time in that state, it is really popular. part of why colorado elections have usually good participati

wisconsin republican governor scott walker emphasized how he enticed companies to leave illinois for his state. in turn, illinois governor pat quinn touted how he stopped one company from leaving and attracted a wisconsin company to illinois. quinn also needled more criticism at walker. i am interested in the regional cooperation. that governor turned down a fast train from chicago to milwaukee and i don't know why he did it. it is the most troubled rail route in the northeast and the whole united states. instead of having a faster train to bill walkie he turned it down. i think he missed the boat . quinn also said he's looking forward to the proposed illiana tollway that would connect interstates 55 and 57 in illinois with interstate 65 in indiana to help the tri-state region. but the chicago metropolitan agency for planning came out with a report today against the construction of the toll road. a california clergyman, born and raised in cabrinni-green, is back in town, hoping to bring peaceful solutions to neighborhoods plagued by gang violence. dr. gregory tatum calls the two day

scott walker, ron johnson, paul ryan.er word that run for office and gorn like they campaign. that's what you have to do. >> in looking at what's gone on with the republican party and the senate there seems to be a deep divide between some republican senators and some other republican senators. it looks like a hard one to mend. >> well, look, these guys like harry reid and the senators. >> he's a democrat. i'm talking about republican senators. >> i understand. they will understand the wrath of the tea party and republican party in 2014 when obamacare is tattooed on their forehead and they have to explain in red states what they did. as far as the republican party is concerned, look, some of the this stuff is way overblown. i was in a lunch just yesterday with all of the u.s. senators on the republican side of the aisle. the ted was there and mike lee was there and people were talking about procedure. this is not like -- you know, there is no -- people aren't throwing spit balls. they are having normal, decent conversatio

the republican party, including john boehner and a lot of the governors like chris christie and scott walker, have been pushing back on the idea that republicans should be single mindedly trying to defund obama care. they need to move on to other things they might be able to build an electoral majority around. >> well, and the point the president has been making as well is as they're trying to use that leverage that they have, they're also changing the constitutional balance of powers that was established. and i would think they should look down the road to a time when the democrats might be in a minority and use that leverage in a similar way. moving on past the government shutdown fight, i have a list here, josh, of the debt ceiling demands that the republicans have laid out as obtained by the national review. we've got, of course, the one-year obama care delay. we have tax reform, keystone pipeline, of course, blocking net neutrality. pretty much every quote/unquote jobs bill we have passed this year and last, aka corporate giveaways, means testing medicare, cfpb changes, tort reform, et

we look at how scott walker's choices have rolled back the rights and the power of labor unions.of these senators and that the nra made sure to recall two senators that are in distinctly swing districts in the state. >> this is how the nra exerts its power. we all focus on the national debate, but they really exert their power in the state legislatures on stories we're not paying attention. to that's why it's so good we're having this discussion right now. >> they intimidate people. they bully people. of course they're their targets. but it's the message they're sending to the whole state legislature, don't mess with us. don't even think about it. that's why it's so important that there is actual national attention. they're bringing national attention it's just under the radar. they're drawing $2 million not from local funds, national funds they are playing here. that's why it's important that the bloomberg group is pushing back here and why it's important we're having this discussion. because we elect people to represent their constituents. and what the nra is saying is, don't l

i'm scott walker here at the breaking news desk as we continue to follow this developing story arounds that the ceo of that company, mike ullman, is apparently more confident about the state of the company's finances that the street has definitely been and is telling investors as much. in fact, he's telling investors, at least some of them, that the company will not need to raise capital any time soon. we saw the stock sell off hard yesterday, down about 13%. today in the premarket it did briefly dip below $9. some quick background here. there have been plenty of rumors on the street over the past 24 hours, even a report by reuters last evening that jcpenney may be raising additional capital, perhaps as much as $1 billion. david faber reporting yesterday that mike ullman was here in new york yesterday, met with a group of investors to talk about the business and didn't leave some in the room very impressed, wasn't as positive as they wanted him to be and a turn around could take some time. i can add some additional color to that in that i'm told by somebody who was in that room that m
