poor sandy. narrator: now let's review and discuss the story. welcome to our fourth annual memorial day cookout. speaker: she was going to a barbecue where she was going to be with friends. they're having the usual fare-- boston baked beans, hot dogs. i mean, everything that, you know, people like. potato salad... sounds good. basically, i don't like barbecue. speaker: rebecca's best friend is sandy and, um, she has... came to the party with her boyfriend jack. hey, but sandy, she's the love of my life. jack... hey, i'm thirsty. i'm getting a drink. you want anything? no, maybe later. thanks. jack's in a good mood! no, not really. he's had too many beers. i think, um, he doesn't seem to be a very considerate and gentle boyfriend to sandy and he just yells at her. babe, uh... let's go. we just got here. so? i haven't even said hello to sal. i'm leaving. if you want to stay, you can stay. i'm leaving, o.k.? it seems it's a very difficult relationship don't you think, because the man drinks and... i think she's trying to cover up for him and trying

sandy hit new york and new jersey the hardest. power outages lasted weeks. the storm even shut down the new york stock exchange for two days. the impact is still felt today. >> the human crisis of sandy is deep, it is lasting and it will continue, and we will stand by the people affected until every is back on their feet. >> reporter: the question is what can new york, new jersey, or other states and cities do to prepare for the next sandy? where would the money come from? where would you spend it if you had it. the ipcc reports said many governments are failing to protect their citizens from the threat of global warming. not only are nations doing too little too slowly but they're not adopting. >> there is a reason for the world not really neglecting the findings of this report because they are profound and let me repeat once again we have said categorically in this report the implications for yo human secur. we have reasons to believe that if the world doesn't do anything about mitigating the emission of greenhouse gasses and the extent of climate change c

and sandy. >> that helps.lso for my business, because more people buy tickets, more people give money and i have been calling on people that i know and people in this business and in four months, we put together one heck of a season. in fact, i brought it along with me so you can all buy tickets. >> what kind of headliners are you talking about? who do you bring in? >> my position is to expand, not just classical music. that may be my background, one of the hottest tickets so far is johnny mathis. then stewart copeland the drummer for the police and joined up with an old friend of mine, a classical pianist. they're going to mash together. robbie shankar's daughter is coming with people from newfoundland to create a six people, sixtet of different kind of music from different parts of the river. i have ethiopians doing music of that area and talking about water sustainability. we hope to put into the university. okay, we have a few people. io yo-yo man. >> and tony bennett. >> yes. >> michael feinstein is comin

that's what i see after a 25 year career of dealing with columbine, sandy hook. this is just going to continue because we have people who are throwing their hands in the air and wondering why, and ultimately this was a preventible act and questions need to be asked. >> how do you prevent it? >> first of all, the department of education says that in washington you must have

this is sandy's condition. partial blindness varies from having tunnel vision to cloudy vision to having night blindness. now, you can have difficulty with vision from two sources. one is if you have a damage to the visual pathway that goes from the retina into the brain, and carla will discuss that more, but we are not going to focus that as a source of blindness. we'll limit ourselves to disorders of the retina. as you indicated, there are close to 300 million people worldwide that have various degrees of visual impairment, and these categories, treble diseases -- treatable diseases and at the moment things that are essentially untreatable. cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are treatable diseases. cataracts you have cloudy vision. with glaucoma, tunnel vision. with diabetic retinopathy, you have trouble with night vision. what i find tragic is still there are a number of people who suffer from these conditions and this is a graph only of the developed world -- the united states, canada and europe.

then just a few weeks later hurricane sandy began to form. >> good evening. the east compost is on high alert. >> at their home, pedro and jen curry have watched the news nervously as sandy churned toward their home. >> i knew something was different about this storm. i would see it. >> pedro evacuated jen and their two children but he stayed to try to protect their dream house. when sandy hit, the storm surge combined with high tides and the water quickly rose all around him. >> you were in the house? >> i was in the house, but i was starting to think i'm going to die. >> pedro clung to life on a rooftop for hours before jen got word that he had survived. >> he said i'm alive but everything's gone. it was this, it was the moment that changed my life. >> we got to go through this. >> a few days later, reunited, they went looking for their home in a small boat. >> where's my house? >> it was nowhere to be seen. >> that's my back yard. >> it had been carried a half-mile away into a marsh. >> how did my house get here? >> it was almost too much for jen to compre

[laughter] >> sandy, that is remarkable. you are why we do this television program. let me turn to carla. give me an overview, so we understand. so we understand exactly what it is we are talking about in terms of the human eye. >> vision is a miraculous process. to hear about losing it is also very heartrending. thank you for what you have said. and i want to tell you about the visual system and talk about the basic layout of the system before we get into talking about the eye. vision starts in the eye and light enters the eye and there is a special layer at the back which is called the retina. you can think of the retina is a fancy digital camera. and the light sensitive part of the eye is like the pixels in your camera, although the pixels are made out of silicon. in your eye, they are the nerve cells in very specialized nerve cells which absorb light and converted to a nero signal. and then the information is sent -- a neuro signal. and then the information is sent from the retina to structures in the central part of the brain. this is called the central visual p

no connecting sandy money to development projects. nothing like zimmer is electing.hat's what guadagno told zimmer's team. but then this is from a woman named luciana dimaggio. she was the only person in an suv with guadagno immediately after her encounter with zimmer. she said she hadn't heard the exchange, but she had watched it and it had been, quote, tense. and she said when guadagno got into the suv she said something like if mayor zimmer didn't play ball then there's not much we can do. dimaggio according to the memo first told this to the chief of staff on the day she made allegations on the first of january. and also told to masters team during two meetings in the following week. in those meetings dimaggio notes she came by herself. she was not represented by a lawyer. then more than a month later on march 10th, she had another meeting with the team, and this time she did bring a lawyer. with her counsel present, according to the report here, dimaggio said her memory is not 100% accurate but she remembered the lieutenant governor communicated that mayor zimme

feet higher and we are talking about a sandy level flooding event in new jersey happening every year. we have to think about the fact that if we don't do anything now our grandchildren will be dealing with risks they cannot cope with >> schieffer: tom, let me ask you this, in our politics everything breaks on the ideological lines. it just breaks. is there such a break in the scientific community? how does the scientific community come down on this idea of climate change? >> let me put it in personal terms. your son or daughter has a disease. and you go to 100 doctors. 97% of them, say this is the cause and this is the cure. and 3% say this is the cause and this is the cure. that is what it is on the climate science. 97% say this and 3% say that and conservatives say i will go to with the 3%. that is radical. that you would go with the 3% and not the 97%. and to pick up on something that heidi said i don't like to use the term global warming. it is it sounds like golf in february. i prefer the term global weirding. the hots get hotter and the dries get dryer and the more violent stor

, recovery from hurricane sandy. that staffer, in charge of that issue, recalled, according to these notes, that on issues related to hurricane sandy, bridge bridget kelly needed to check with the chris christie re-election campaign, quote, before approving certain things. he says he was told, for instance, not to bend over backwards to help hoboken mayor don zimmer, who also was not endorsing chris christie for re-election. that official says he treated the hoboken mayor just the same, but do these new documents from the investigation show that the christie administration conditioned sandy relief aid on politics? i mean, if the re-election campaign was involved in clearing decisions about sandy relief, and if the mayor of new jersey -- of jersey city, was boxed out of planning for the closing of the pulaski skyway, because of political relief, because of political reasons, these both seem like very damning revelations from a report that supposedly clears the governor.  what if a photo were more than a memory? what

sandy and phillip, andrea and mark.good morning. >> you all watched that story, you know that story well. but to see it and think about where you were and where you are now, describe it. >> very overwhelming, just the journey was so difficult and to be on this side is just unexplainable, just the joy -- the joy that andrea and mark have been able to give us and to have our children, it's hard to put into words. >> it's such a big decision all around obviously. andrea, for you, this was a little tough, too, actually getting there. what's it look for you when you look at these babies now that you helped bring into the world? >> it's definitely different than with my own children. i love them so much. i would have loved them if i would have carried them or not. they're perfect, all four of them. we're just so excited and happy for sandy and phillip. >> were you guys at all concerned about what the bond would be between you as couples after all was said and done? >> we knew we would be lifelong friends no matter what the ou

sandy villary is president of his own company, sandy, let the good times roll? >> i think that is exactly right. i think the market will be up about 6% this year. but i think stock picking will be the rule of the day. we have to find the diamond in the rough, the gems that perform well and deliver for our shareholders. >> you're saying buy the dips, right now, so many investors are looking at the same information you are. they're worried about the interest rates and all of this volatility. and so they're just playing it safe and you're just jumping in and buying what you say are really beaten down stocks. so what are you seeing that they're not seeing? why are you so optimistic? >> yeah, i think you really do have to look at individual stocks. and that is the key word, while all of this stuff is going on i think it is time to really look, and be laser focused on the individual stories, ge had good numbers, goldman had good numbers, let's focus on individual stocks that is what i'm focusing on. >> and good numbers in terms of beating the forecast, but not in term

ashley, you met chris and sandy for the first time this morning.rlier. >> yes. >> and during the course of the arguments to ban same-sex marriage you proposed to your partner. >> i did. >> and what was it like for you to know that your stepfather was arguing against marriage equality? what was his reaction and were you worried it could impact the case? >> that definitely came into play, that question of what to do with everything that was going on and the information that he had so there was definitely a question as to whether that would impact, but the general tone was happiness. the story jo tells in her book is accurate and fair and respectful of our relationship, my father and i. >> chris, you had an interaction with chuck cooper after the arguments. describe what happened. >> well, as you know, that day was a very big day and we were excited to be at the supreme court arguing for a constitutional -- or constitutional protection for equal right to marriage. sandy and i had sat together many years and watched chuck cooper argue the other side of

we've seen many more like hurricane sandy. hurricane sandy was a category two at its strongest. they used to strike the new york city area on a fairly regular basis. if you go back to the early 20th century, we saw it frequently. you don't see that anymore. >> used to be the guys at heart land say it's a hoax. now they say it's good for you. i really wish they'd pick a story and stick with it. >> you're saying in some cases it's good because more carbon dioxide means good for plant growth. >> you look at crops, we see crop increases. we see declining number in severity of tornados and hurricanes. >> but there is -- >> thrive in warmer temperatures. >> when he says heart land, that's heartland institute. there is bad stuff that might happen. serious scientists are worried. >> might happen if we have the type of warming that is not going to happen for many centuries. whenever temperatures -- >> how -- >> his side uses faith-based science. they published a paper a couple of weeks ago. if you look at the citations in the executive summary. there's 20 citations. 11 of them are 30 yea

to discuss sandy recovery. zimmer and constable were seated next to each other at the event. zimmer alleges before the program began, she had a conversation which constable suggested to her that hoboken would receive the sandy funds she was seeking if she approved that big development project. project that was proposed by something known as the rockefeller group. zimmer shared with us and then with federal prosecutors a contemporaneous diary entry that describes what she says happened. "we are miked up with other panelists all around us and probably the sound team is listening and he says, i hear hear you are against the rockefeller project. i reply, i am not against the rockefeller project. in fact, i want more commercial development in hoboken. oh, really? everyone in the statehouse believes you are against it. the buzz is that you are against it. if you move that forward, money would start flowing to you, he tells me." that's from her diary. constable has vehemently denied her charges. the mastro report sides with him and sides against dawn zimmer. sitting on that same sta

getting his reaction to schu superstorm sandy while shooting "year of living dangerously."ael grimm went from discounting science of human-made climate change to accepting it. >> the vast majority of respected scientists say that it's conclusive, the evidence is clear. i don't think the jury is out -- >> the basic story of we're putting carbon in the atmosphere, the planet's getting warmer, that's going to make the sea levels rise. the basic story to that, you pretty much agree with, right? >> sure. i mean, there's no question that the oceans have risen, right. and the climate change part is -- is a real part of it. >> so much so in fact the report last year released by national oceanic and atmospheric administration says, "human-induced forcing of sea level ensures that sandy level inundation events will occur more frequently in the future from storms with less intensity and lower storm surge than sandy." in other words, we can look forward to a future where more frequent coastal flooding is pretty much the norm. coastal areas in the u.s. remain vulnerable like michael gri

superstorm sandy alone cost $65 billion. cost more than 100 lives. more than a thousand people were displaced. those type of events will be replicated all across the country. not just in florida and the gulf states. this occurred in the northeast at the end of october. and i think that that type of reality may help change the terms of the debate on the other hand because it's clear that we as americans both in terms of the human cost and eventually in terms of the economic toll that these type of storms take on our economy and the disruption in day-to-day life cannot absorb it. >> the whole point of that intro is that concerted wealth, that's real wealth people don't want to give up. and they're in the fight on capitol hill. so the question is how is that overcome? >> right. and i think that part of the way that it's overcome is that as americans increasingly become educated about the fact that their lifestyle and livelihood will increasingly be put at risk because of our failure to deal with the realities of climate change and if we don't move to mo

sandy, is this a dip you want to buy? >> tyler, this is a dip you want to buy. frankly if you look at where the ten-year is, the 262, i think stocks are the only game in town. you think about every cfo in in the country that's trying to sell as much debt as they can, i don't want to be the guy who lends them money in the form of buying bonds. you want to buy good quality stocks, stocks that dominate their niche. weerp making our laundry list of stocks. >> and you have a couple names there. lkq and the other one was poole. what are they? >> yes, so lkq, again dominates its niche. this is like in kind end quality. basically they sell refurbished and recycled auto parts. so as long as people are getting in accidents, these guys will continue to dominate what they do. $8 billion market cap. you can buy this for 18 1/2 times earnings. that's my job, to try to find good companies trading as mountain pause less than their growth rate. >> burns, how do you react? is this the kind of moment where, hey, if you have things on your buy list, maybe it's time to nip at them?

david: and right here too, hurricane sandy in 2012, haiti 2010, japan 2011, but sandy here in the u.sat? >> absolutely. because the sun was shining after sandy, but people didn't have a way to connect to power. so you probably saw that with your neighbors out there, they'd be in the driveway powering car so they could charge their cell phone and waiting in three to four hour lines, it was crazy. we sent ten guys and gals with $600,000 of product that we gave out to people because solar was such a need at that time. >> beside helping people and thank you for doing, that i know people were affected by that and appreciated your goods. what do you learn from that? do you learn from the disasters that you help out with that help you with product development? >> absolutely. one of the first things we learned from sandy in particular was that gas can become a shortage, which really hasn't occurred to us, seems like gas is everywhere, and so we have gasless power generators now where you can solar charge these different generators that charge everything from cell phones to tablets to lighting

or super storm sandy depending on what you want to call it. first of all i would differ with michael just little bit. i think we can say with some confidence that climate change did absolutely worsen certain impacts. that 13 foot record surge at battery park, a foot of that was due to global sea levels. we can say that with confidence. >> right. >> now that event cost us $65 billion i think is the current estimate. while there's been a lot of emphasis on the threat to food, fresh water, land, there's also a very real threat we're already seeing to our economy. climate change and extreme weather that may be linked to climate change damages from that amount to something like $1 billion in global domestic product a year already. and that is projected to increase greatly in the future if we continue on the course that we're on. >> rose: it also leads to the possibility of conflict over land or conflict over circumstances produced by the scarcity. >> and sometimes it's just unbelievable. maybe it's believable but it's sometimes so odd how these thi

we're talking about, the democratic mayor of belmar, new jersey, a shore town ravaged by hurricane sandy. if you watched my show yesterday morning, you saw my interview with him. he reached out to us again with another statement, something that raises more questions, something we will get to in just a minute. >>> first, we want to start with background on who matt doherty is and why he is so crucial to the credibility of christie's internal investigation. doherty features prominently in the report that was issued last week by randy mastro, the lawyer whose firm was hired by the christie administration to conduct that internal investigation into the various scandals that are now swirling. now, since that report was issued last thursday, since christie held his lengthy press conference on friday, since then most of the media coverage is focused on the george washington bridge lane closures. but doherty's a key figure in the other christie administration scandal. it's the one involving allegations by the mayor of hoboken, dawn zimmer. allegations that two top officials from the administrati

we see many more hurricanes like hurricane sandy. hurricane sandy was category 2 at strongest. when you look at 3, 4, 5 hurricanes they used to strike the new york city hurricane on a regular basis. we saw major categories coming up the east coast frequently. we don't see that anymore. >> folks used to say it's a hoax, now they say it's good for you. pick a story and stick with it. >> just to be clear, in some cases it's good because more carbon dioxide is good for plant growth. you see crop increases, crop production increasing, declining number in severity of tornadoes and hurricanes. any way you mention, there are thrives of warmer temperatures. >> when you say heartland, that is heartland institute. serious scientists are worried might happen if we have the type of warming that is not going to happen for centuries. we were there a thousand years ago during the medieval warm period. we were there 2,000 years ago during the roman warm period. his science used faith based science, they published a paper a couple of weeks ago. 20 citations, 11 of them are 30 years old or more.
