me ask you this. -- >> let me ask you this. what would you do -- i would assume that if you get a cell that you can boot up from a store-bought ingredients and you can create a life it is a very simple life, why do we need one? >> we don't need one per say for that as a proof of principle. but if we actually want to do designs for building new organisms to make new vaccines new medicines, food sources, etc. we want to get down to where we can actually do the design on first principle basis. so the other thing that we are doing rather than try to make the minimal genome, if you think -- genome, we are affront to defrag -- writing to defrag. if you think of it as computer analogies for the evolutions things get inserted all over the place and there is no logic to it. there's a lot of randomness. but if we are trying to do the designs where we want to put in a cassette for genes for the sugar metabolism and the methane metabolism we like to do that as you plug in this cassette and have the energy production for the cell. so we are

[laughter] >> let me ask you -- you have a lot of things you are doing.ne that intrigued me the most is this notion of a minimal cell. can you explain what a minimal cell is? >> within trying to work on this since 1995 when we singled the two genomes in history. a minimal set of genes that could be responsible for complete self replicating life. we were on this for a long time. we've had our first synthetic version of 2010, as you know. we have been working to try and build a cell from scratch that has just the minimal set of genes necessary for living and replication at least in a laboratory environment. >> we humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes. you start with a little itty-bitty thing and you try to make it ittier and bittier. how loaded to go? -- how low did >> that is put in a way that only you can put it, robert. yes, so the smallest organism set of genes was sequenced in 1995, mycoplasma was a little over five super genes. -- 500 genes. the goal is and the problem in this whole field is our fundamental knowledge of biology is so limited that we d

. >> richard, let me ask you, to that end in terms of claiming responsibility for this we had word thatmedy coulibaly said to the press he was trained or affiliated with i.s. the islamic state. the bizarreness of two groups claiming responsibility here. how unprecedented is that at this particular moment? >> it's actually becoming increasingly less unusual. and the reason is syria. and the reason is iraq. because in the last year or so the islamic movements, the islamic radical movements in syria and iraq have become so powerful they have taken over effectively their own small state. that means islamic groups in that country are forced to work together. you see a group once part of al qaeda transform into a -- into entity called islamic state. you have certain militant groups that will switch their allegiance going from one group to another. we now have a true safe haven for all of these groups where they can work together. they can make their personal relationships and not just think about battle and training, but be actively and engaged in battle and strange. >>> joining me now is eve

everybody is >>we're here with the mayor of the great city of atlantic city don guardian mayor let me ask you here at the choose new jersey event you want people to choose atlantic city right? >>absolutely steve we're open we're ready for business we're changing things we're inviting people back so much more than just a gaming mecca. took us a little while to realize we're not the monopoly of gaming on the east coast anymore. we know we need to diversify what we offer in atlantic city beyond gaming and honestly beyond tourism as well. and we're doing everything we can to attract new businesses into the city let you know that we're working with you we can show you the properties we have some exciting ideas that are coming to fruition we think stockton by the end of the year will be announcing a full campus in atlantic city that'll grow to a university with several undergraduate and graduate colleges and that's just the type of educational program we need our local community college ust to finish the expansion that went to culinary arts looking at redoing one of our areas to become another bost

. >> ron, let me ask you to stand by and i'm going to reset for everybody. if you are just joining us, we are in breaking news coverage right now as security forces and police forces have taken over a small town just northeast of paris, dammartin-en-goele. they believe that the co-yachikouachi brothers are there and may have taken a hostage. unconfirmed reports by nbc news there are french domestic agencies that have discussed the fact that there may have been two people killed in a shoot-out earlier. it is just after 11:00 a.m. in france right now, over 48 hours, i think nearly going on 52 hours, since the original attack on charlie hedbo happened where 12 people satirists working at this magazine journalists, cartoonists were gunned down and killed others injured there. there we see the two brothers that the police have been on the lookout for ever since one of the brothers cherif who is the younger of the two, served 18 months for terrorism charges. the older brother, said is believed to have traveled to yemen in 2011 to receive weapons training from al qa

let me ask you about these, the reaction of the islamic community all the way to chechnya. reacting to "charlie hebdo" and the continued, well, mockery, if you will, whatever, ridicule or satire if you're being lighthearted about it of islam in the magazines. >> reporter: well, this is a -- one of the things, isis has carried out many attacks, for example, over the last year. and a lot of them have not been popular in the islamic world. people thought that isis beheading journalists was disgusting. they thought it was vulgar and cruel. but when the militants attacked "charlie hebdo," for many people in the region, it seemed legitimate would be an overstatement, but understandable would not be an overstatement. >> i see. >> reporter: and then when millions of people around the world rallied and said "i am charlie" that was interpreted in the muslim world to say, i am charlie, i am with those who continue to insult and revel in the fact that they are insulting the muslim prophet muhammad. that set a lot of people off here when they saw millions of people in paris and they say

. >> let me ask you this sir. let me ask you this sir. let me ask you this question and it's a difficult question. you've said your son is a mama's boy. he was tweeting using the name rahil ubeta. he was expressing the violent jihad. if that's possible is there a side to your son you just didn't know? >> no. i knew of his conversion to islam. you know i -- i was concerned because i -- you know i watch the news and i see what's going on around the world, you know and i showed some concern and i actually had open conversations with my son, christopher, you know and he explained to me his feelings. you know i asked him if muslims hated christians. he said no muslims were actually allowed to marry christians you know? like i said he was just dabbling in this and never actually even really i think actually converted until maybe six weeks ago. because that's when i actually noticed, you know he was doing his prayers. he had his little prayers on his computer and he was doing -- and he was saying his prayers five times a day. sure there's always

i get the sense that you two disagree with each other pretty wholeheartedly on this issue, so let me ask each of you to make your case. jared, you go first. why do you think this is a good thing? >> well, first, hello to you and dan. >> you, too. >> the reason is because this is a simple policy that has its intended effect. one of the problems we've had as i think you know, we've talked about this before, is that while the economy has been expanding and growing, very little of that growth has reached workers in the bottom half of the pay scale, so increasing the wage floor gives them a little bit of a boost. you mention 3 million workers, that's, what, less than 2% of the labor force. it's worked well, which is why so many states are embracing the change. >> dan, it's been around for 75 years, that federal minimum wage. why do you think it's not effective? >> well, first, happy new year, although i'm going to have an unhappy reaction to states increasing the minimum wages because some people are going to be thrown out of work. it's the simple reality that if a low skilled employee doesn'

. >> let me ask you about another subject that has really come to the forefront now. that with the release of this video by amedy coulibaly the suspect in the kosher supermarket, he pledged his allegiance to isis, as well as al baghdadi. do you think that france is now paying the price for its involvement in the u.s. led coalition, targets isis in syria and iraq? how much are france's foreign policiespolicies part of the problem? >> definitely, it's true that france who had nothing to do in this policy, it is a policy not in its interest, because it searches on this the interests of america and israel, and france sent people to syria or to train over there and these people are marked by the situation of the muslims in france and some of them would turn to do some violence. now, the link between this large group is the middle east, i'm not sure if it's really true, the truth or it's a manipulation. you know, i'm not sure of the link between coulibaly even if he said that. there are a lot of manipulations of people, and the secret services are strong enough to do a lot

let me ask you about local control.he governor has been a big proponent of that in things like criminal justice, is that plays out at all in this budget as far as education goes? >> there is a lot that the governor has done in the last two years. yes, the public safety money where you realign programs and try to divert people from going into prison into local programs is still something to be worked on. this budget building on what the governor has done with schools which is give schools more flexionflex flexability on how to spend their dollars. they lay out something for school construction that we have never done before. it has been a partnership in the past, and the governor doesn't want to do those any more. he wants to move to a system where the locals have more control and responsibility for finding the money to build school facilities. i think that will be a big source of discussion in the capital this year and i think it will be hard for local schools that think the state should play more of a role. >> the othe

. >> let me ask you this evan are we dealing with a large cell, or could there be more? when you hear coulibaly who is saying that he is the one that did the grocery, that he knew the brothers and we have connected boumediene to several hundred calls between the wife of one of the kouachi brothers and her. so they knew each other. are there others? is this a cell? i mean isn't this a large concern now in france? >> well, certainly you look at this and they appear to be all connected. initially they were all arrested as part of a terrorist plot to try to free arguably france's most famous terrorist who was in prison for the '95 metro bombings. you look at mr. coulibaly, when he did his purported interview on the radio from this kosher shop, he said that he was affiliated with the islam state. >> he brought up isis and al qaeda which doesn't -- >> not only do they hate each other, but actually the person that put out the statement on behalf of aqap this person was just viciously attacked by isis in the last few days. they called him a clown, a dejen rat. it's very difficult

host: let me ask yous not only hillary clinton as the nominee. she would be 67 but the democratic leadership in the house and senate nancypel pelosi, do you think that poses an image problem for the democrats? caller: do i? yeah. host: steve mcmahon guest: i have a slightly different view. bob's question is a legitimate one. you can make the case that typically when you move on in politics from one generation to the next, it gets younger, not older. and that has been historically the case. i don't think so you have seen a candidate as well qualified as hillary clinton or joe biden despite their age in a long time. hillary clinton, as you mentioned will be 67 when she is nominated, assuming she is is going to probably live by the numbers another 25 years. i think she could serve the country treat quite well and joe biden is in exactly the same position. i am not as concerned about the age of the party, of the nominee or even the candidate or the president. i am more concerned about what it is they want to do and how it is they think they are going

there are some vaccine failures. >> let me ask you real quickly, and this will be the final question. know, this week health officials in orange county barred a couple of dozen high school students from going to school because they weren't vaccinated. should public health policy be changed, barring students who aren't immunized from going to the campus? >> well, i think in the context of an outbreak that's a perfectly appropriate thing for a school to do. and a number of schools have done that in the context of whooping cough outbreaks measles outbreaks, and other things, to basically say if your child is not immunized and we have an outbreak situation your child cannot come back to school until they're either immunized or the outbreak is over. >> okay. well, certainly much more to come, i think. this is something that continues to develop, and we'll see how it all turns out. thank you so much, both of you for joining us. dr. art reingold with the berkeley school of public health, and lisa aliferis with kqed's state of health blog. >> thank you. >>> and turning now to the most importa

. >> larry: let me ask you-- that's got to frustrate you as a reporter. >> it's very, very annoying ando go back and disporgt back and forth and you realize the viewers are probably not all that interested and you isv to set a point, you're not telling truth and move on to the next question. >> larry: let's talk about in culture, who keeps it 70 more and who lies more, men or women? >> women, women lie more. >> larry: women lie more? >> especially these women in the audience. women know how to keep them going. >> don't make me be the token? >> larry: you speak for women. >> i'll speak for women. >> obviously women lie more than mep. men lie straight up. i'm like i want to lie to this dude right here. women, you lie more complicated. you lie to yourselves -- >> and that's our fault. we're better at it-- you hate us because you ain't us, so i'm the pats fan and the woman, i'm the minority at this table. >> larry: somebody's keeping it 105. ( laughter ) ( applause ) all right, let me ask you this-- is faking an orgasm keeping it 70? >> hello! >> larry: or is it lying? >> well, that-- it's

brook, let me ask you. mcconnell whether or not it matters this is about the way in che we talk with the attacks and ideology. i ask mitch mcconnell does it matter the president didn't link this to radical islam sne said it does. your view? >> absolutely the fact the obama administration, though it's taken the opportunity must to make a grand statement about free speech has during the course of the administration does everything it can to stifle open dialogue about militant is slam from sponsing institutions that attempt to make it a crime to slander islam. sends a message to islamic terrorists not only we agree with them but it's not okay to exercise free speech when it's offensive to muslims but also, sends a message we don't have the back bone to defend the human right to free speech. >> let me ask you this brook. we talked about before coming to brake. phil donahue said he's had been enough of people insulting the prophet mohammed. he is not a muslim and he doesn't say they deserved it but says we have

. >> let me ask you, do either of you truly care about the super bowl? >> no. >> if you do, i ask which team you're for the other one can automatically choose the other team. >> liberals don't -- isn't that a left/right thing. >> liberals are affrayraid of football. >> because they're called the patriots. >> seahawks or patriots? >> hiem not really big on people who cheat so i'm pulling for the seahawks. >> i'm sorpt of a new england fan. >> because you're a liberal. that's why you don't care. >> coin flipping. >> patriots heads/seahawks tails. >> didn't even know there was a game this weekend. >> good to see you both, gentlemen. have a great time at your super bowl party this weekend. >>> speaking of the super bowl, what kind of weather can we expect sunday? we are live in the extreme weather center to tell us more. >> this is why you have the super bowl in places like phoenix, because the weather is generally pretty good. remember last year we were all worried about what it would be like in new jersey? and a good thing we had last year's weather becaus

. >> let me ask you about this, senator thune, hearing both you and senator corker, et get a distinct sense from moth of you that you're more interested in compromise than confrontation. >> what we want to see you solution. we want to see solution for the american people. we hope the president will meet us there. it takes presidential leadership to do big things in washington, d.c. obviously there are a number of things where there's bipartisan support that have -- that have been stalled out in the senate. we want to start there, move those bills, put them on the president's desk. we'll find out whether or not he wants to be a willing partner. i certainly hope he does because we have some big things we knead to do for the american people when it comes to growing the economy and creating jobs and creating a smaller middle class for our country. >> one mower question for you senator thune, and then i'm going to bring in senator corker to talk about the foreign relations committee. a potential flash point, immigration, you and the republican congress has only funded the department of hom

. >> senator let me ask you to comment on what's happening right now in paris. we've got more than 50 leaders throughout europe. the president of course is not there. what is the impact, do you think, of these leaders getting together and march against what happened this past week? >> well symbolically it's a good thing to tell the terrorists we're not going to bend to your will. they're trying to replace our way of life with theirs. this means nothing if it's not followed up with a coherent strategy to defeat isil and isis. so if this rally doesn't translate into a strategy to our french friends, you withdrew from afghanistan early. think about sending thousands of troops into afghanistan to hold onto the gains we've had. the air campaign we have against isil in iraq and syria needs to be supplemented with a ground campaign. if you really want to make a difference, go into iraq and syria with an international coalition on the ground and destroy these guys. every day they are allowed to survive is a day that we can get hit. if this doesn't translate into a cohere

let me ask you about the investigation itself. because france has come together to tell the world the terrorists will not win, but it's still very important for investigators to piece this whole thing together because it appears as though there were some very significant intelligence failures especially in the light of reports that two brothers who were now being blamed for that massacre at "charlie hebdo" may have spent some time in yemen, fred. >> absolutely. there's a lot of things that can have come to light where there were instances where french intelligence was on to the kouachi brothers but sort of lost them off their radar. it's clear that said kouachi spent a considerable amount of time in yemen. it was in 2009 and went back in 2010 and 2011. remember one of the things that he said when a french television journalist managed to reach him while he still had that printing shop northeast of paris under siege is he said he was sent by anwar al awlaki who was killed a long time ago. he said he met him in yemen. so at some poi

let me ask this. we'll start with you. you're covering the hill. let me start with you. chris van hollen. is this a precursor of him knocking off steny hoyer in the bottom of the succession? >> i know that's what you want it to be. >> this is called "hardball" after all. >> is this about getting something done or posing? >> i think it's about getting something done and a realization that democrats felt they didn't go far enough this time around. they pushed forward policies like pay equity for women, like the minimum wage. everybody loved that stuff. >> point of purchase stuff. the big stuff in the supermarket has to be income inequality. >> everybody is hurting. the middle class is shrinking. wages are going down. everyone looked at that and said, you're not doing enough. >> with the economy rebounding a bit, is this a good time to get on the team, the train, and say, look, it's getting better but let's divide it up a little? >> yes, absolutely. if i were a member, a democratic member of congress who lost in november, i would say, where were you when i needed you? i mean, where was this

>> let me ask you about energy.ower oil prices put more money -- something like $200 billion into consumer prices. , on the other hand, it is hurting some of the energy industry. some of which is in your state. have these prices been good for americans? >> i have not received letters or e-mails complaining about the low prices. so far, but consumers have decided lower gas prices are good and nobody's complaining or feels bad. >> let me ask you a colorado question. marijuana is legal in your state, but as i understand it, i think there are more dispensaries than starbucks. >> several years ago, the attorney general said when medical marijuana was underway he said there were more dispensaries than starbucks and mcdonald's combined. whether that is true today, i am not sure. >> i gather because of federal , drug laws, most of the banks will not take that money. this is a billion dollar cash only operation. should and can you change federal laws? >> that is a discussion congress has to have. it cannot be ignored. a memb

. >> let me ask you about this senator thune, hearing both you and senator corker, i get a distinct sense from both of you that you're more interested in compromise than confrontation. >> i think, chris, what we want to see are solutions. we want to see solutions for the american people. we hope the president will meet us there. it takes presidential leadership to do big things in washington, d.c. and, obviously, there are a number of things where there's bipartisan support, bills that have passed the house of representatives that have been stalled out in the senate. we want to star there, move those bills, president them on the president's desk and we'll find out whether or not he wants to be a willing partner. i certainly hope he does because we have some big things we need to do for the american people, when it comes to growing the economy and creating jobs and creating a stronger middle class for our country. >> one more question for you, senator thune then i'll bring senator corker in, a potential flashpoint. that is immigration. you, the republican congress has only funded the depar

i don't think they would be this far along in taking it seriously -- >> let me ask you about that. ou can tell me. a lot of people like this guy. i don't certainly dislike him. i respect anybody who served this country as long as this guy has and i think nobly most of the time until he got involved in this mess. the question is, the people that have to prosecute cases like that i assume are public servants, i assume they have a concern. do they believe he was a bad guy in doing this? in other words did he do something that was criminal not just technical, but criminal? >> that guy, they're not going to answer that but criminal -- >> they're about to charge him with a felony. >> yeah, but criminal yes. criminal, yes. >> they believe he's a criminal. they believe he's a criminal. >> yes. some people believe there's a double standard here. that if he had been anyone else, he already would have been dooited at this point. we wouldn't be this far out. we're almost three years since it happened. >> the only reason i'm being skeptical, it's my job. and number two, i know people like ted so

you madam chairman. let's talk about a couple of these things. the democrats like to say, madam chairman, that this is radical. let me ask you a question. t me ask my colleagues a question. is it radical to support the rule of law? is it radical to fight for american workers who are going to lose their jobs to illegal aliens? is it radical to prioritize to prioritize legal immigrants that are coming to this country? is it radical to try to protect children that are in this program via the office of refugee resettlement? democrats are over there saying that republicans are playing politics with national security. let me ask you another question. why were they saying nothing this summer when the southern border was being overrun and all sorts of trafficking, human trafficking sex trafficking, weapons trafficking, drug trafficking. here are the facts. daca became effective august 15 2012. in fiscal year 2014, the office of refugee released 53,518 unaccompanied children here in the u.s. it is a magnet. 75% of all americans reject the obama executive amnesty. 80% of the americans don't want foreign workers taking jobs from americans. those ar

. >> you know, kelly, on that note, let me ask you just a little about what you're hearing in terms oftrategy on the hill because for republicans, now that they have the senate and they can, as you said send things up from the lower house up into the senate if they wish to, for boehner's team is the strategy to more -- to create more bipartisan bills that when they get to the president's desk, at least have enough democratic support to maybe influence the white house to go along, or to just send really hard core strictly partisan bills to the white house, knowing they'll be vetoed? >> well they have been saying for a long time that there have been bipartisan bills that have support, not of an overwhelming number of democrats, per se, but enough democrats. things related to jobs. things related to the manner we talked about like the keystone pipeline. they do want to put that pressure on the white house to say, okay the congress has now acted. mr. president, what will you do? >> just to interrupt you for a moment. that's john boehner walking in as we can see. i want to let the viewers k
