ed rendell said he did more for the people of pennsylvania with a possible exception of ben franklin. he was 82 years old. the most recent study performed by the austrian daredevil known as fearless felix. >> he traveled at incredible speeds. our wind is picking up. 16 miles an hour around the airport. 15 miles downtown. that is ahead of the next cold front. a live look out at ocean city. the sun is setting in about 15 minutes. currently 72 at the airport and 75 downtown. 75 downtown. yeah. yeah. >> fearliss felix is the first person to travel faster than thsound. he traveled 24 miles, a record- breaking feat marking the world's first supersonic skydive. he took off in a pressurized capsule carried by helium balloon. he was expected to hit a speed of 690 miles per hour before activating his parachute about 5,000 feet above the ground. >> your insta-weather plus forecast with eva marie. >> i watched it live on the internet. as he started to fall, he spiraled out of control but regained stability. you can watch it on our website, wbaltv.com. it was incredible. let's look at the weather.

ben franklin framus lee said at the end of the constitutional convention seven hundred eighty seven that if we don't hang together we shall surely hang separately that lesson of we're all in it together was not lost on rwanda rwanda is a small nation in central africa one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in the world nearly sixty percent of rwandans live below the national poverty line and in rwanda with an average income. just five hundred sixty dollars per year per family less than two dollars a day being in poverty membrane home and living on as little as ten cents a day from one thousand nine hundred ninety four that nation had a civil war and in april of one thousand nine hundred four the rwandan genocide began by asking for three months in taking the lives of nearly a million rwandans and yet despite going through a civil war and a genocide and being one of the poorest countries on earth this tiny nation of rwanda has something the united states doesn't health care system that works for all. today the new talking point coming out of the right against obamacare is that

ben franklin, he did a lot in electrostatics. so this then is negatively charged and the cat's fur then would be? positive. positive. which, by the way, underlies a very important principle called the conservation of charge. and the conservation of charge simply says that, "hey, gang, whatever charge you got, "it's what you got. "you don't make any more, you don't make any less. all you do is transfer it from one place to another." it's like maybe a brick road. there's so many bricks in the road. now, you take some of the bricks off the road and put them on the sidewalk. what's the total number of bricks i have before and after? same. the same. i've just put them from one place to another. and every brick in the sidewalk is matched by a hole in the road. do you see that? so we just take it from place and put another. so if i put a certain charge on here-- let's say a millionth of a coulomb-- coulomb is a unit of charge. if i put a millionth of a coulomb on here, and that's negative, what's the positive charge? a millionth of a co

who else was a great realist ben franklin.realize how he got that was probably because he was a scientist. he understand the single fluid of electricity. he would have thought you were a philistine if you didn't like science. i want to look at the magic and beauty of science. so i did einstein. it's ram done. >> gavin: is there a mandela organ di . >> or or gandhi. >> no, not right now. i wanted to look at the great computers, starting with a greatmatics, and then all the people who do the transition to the microchip, the internet. these are people who are unbelievably creative, but they knew to get back to where we started. not just to be entrepreneurs but to bring to scale to create institutions that would last. and so it's a little off the beaten path. it's not like another let's do mandela now. but it's something i'm deeply passionate about. >> gavin: and connecting it to today. >> all the way through maybe through the further even. it starts with aida love lace talking about ken machines, and the next step is machine lear

yesterday, we are starting up new companies with the ben franklin and it is working in pennsylvania. >>neil: thank you, governor. more full time jobs as the health care log kicks -- law kicks? >> we have to pass the bill so we can find out what is in it, away from the fog, away from the controversy. campbell's healthy request soup lets you hear it... in your heart. [ basketball bouncing ] heart healthy. great taste. mmm... [ male announcer ] sounds good. it's amazing what soup can do. >>neil: this just in, to your health, not. i love this segment. a lot of olive garden workers could be facing this, but the parent companies of this company and lobster house are ready to cut costs ahead of the health care law kicking in. this could just be the beginning. talk about leaping. >>guest: it is ridiculous. it is obvious who would happen. you institute the law you is to pay for health care for those working over 30 hours, what do businesses do? they have workers work 29 hours which is what we hear. or they will charge more for's that and lobster. this is how business works. politicians should

public official did more for us in 38 years of elective office in our history other than maybe ben franklinyou'd have to go back all that way to find someone -- >> that's a long way. >> it is a long way back, but think about it. no governor, no senator. he was incredible. >> i mean, he was controversial, and we know that he started out as a democrat. then he became a republican to run against the d.a., who then called him benedict arlen for having switched parties to run against his former boss. he switched parties again, of course, after the tea party supporters went after him and he realized that he couldn't win re-election presumably in 2010, and then he had, as you know better than anyone, he had that challenge in the democratic primary. so despite the support of the president, you and the other democrats in the state, he failed to get the nomination in 2010. >> but in both times that he switched parties, and back in 1965, he switched parties because the democrat party in philadelphia was totally boss controlled, and there was no place for any independence or new blood. so the only chan

somebody -- ben franklin or somebody had said that in print and all you need to do is push it. you do have this unlimited almost speech that can reach as many people so how does that fit in against citizens united? >> i'm sorry, personal as a technology story obama can't raise that money without technology. the net is a little different than in newspaper. a newspaper it's true, you can go write a blog post, so what if the one and an infinite number of people could read the blog posted the thing is no one know that you wrote a blog post and no one will come to your blog post unless you put money behind or have a way promoting it, so there's still a similar various. you can strike it lucky if you do a viable thing, take off. but it's not exactly -- you can't just say you're printing press is now in valuable as restore future printing press because you have access to wordpress or something what do. it's a little more complicated than that. spent the question surprised and. i thought you're going to say we took a murky topic and made it murkier. [inaudible] >> the thing about that,

ben franklin or somebody had to set that into print. now you really have an on limited ability to reach as many people who will read it. -- it really does have an unlimited ability to reach as many people who will read. >> the net is different from the newspaper. on the net, in infinite number of people could read your blog post. the difference is no one will come to your blog post unless you put money behind it. there are similar barriers. you could do of viral thing and it could take off. but the candidate, you're printing press is now has valuable as the future printing press because you have access. is a little more difficult. >> i thought you were going to say we took a murky topic and made it murkier. [laughter] >> let's think about that. you are not going to reach that swing voter who is not paying attention to politics. what technology does is it makes it possible -- there are some minimill's asking for $3. nobody ever in 1994 asked for $3. it cost just as much -- it is good to know you bought a supporter -- but it cost as much

ben franklin said, the line was, people who do nothing but blame other people, it is only thing they'reod at. this administration, a president about leadership. that is the problem. he is can be asked about this. this isn't away. the only thing that is helping them, that most of the mainstream press, "new york times" this morning, five shows discussed libya. not on the front page. the mainstream media is doing everything it can to save obama. megyn: one point before we go. >> sure. megyn: on that point of accepting responsibility, the president took heat for taking too much responsibility for the bin laden kill. >> right. megyn: and this veteran as group put together this ad was very critical talking about the number of times he said, i, here is just a clip to refresh your memory. here. ♪ . >> i said i that i would go after bin laden if we had a clear shot at him and i did. and i did. and i did. and i did. megyn: is the white house now setting itself up for a narrative that he is too quick to take the credit but not to take the blame? >> megyn, he is set up for that but pat is correct.

but the old ben franklin attitude, hang together and hang separately i is i think relevant here. if other countries deal that we're facing an unlevel playing field, together, we have a better chance of affecting chinese behavior. we also have authority under u.s. trade laws, and we will continue to the. some of the trans-alaska years have been positive. aaron alluded to the increase in the size of the trade deficit in recent years, but if you look at the percentage of increases in exports and imports, u.s. exports to china are increasing much more rapidly than u.s. imports from china. it depends on how you do the math. >> transport? >> yes, just picking up with that issue, the trade imbalance. it's also i think a point to look at the composition of our trade, and there are some oddities in the balance of trade. the biggest american exports to china right now is waste and scrap. that is not an area which we as a highly advanced country would seem to have a comparative advantage, but the fact that that's what we're able to export most easily to china, i think, points to some proble

when you think about ben franklin, he had an insane number of hobbies. a lot of great things can happen when you're just by yourself. it reminds you of some connection and a new angle perhaps on the problem with this network. and that smart companies are starting to realize the full diversity of each employee's interest is not something they should suppress. >> like don't bring your hobbies and work, but it to allow them to open and shape up new possibilities for each employees. >> host: a lot of what you talk about is unique to the economy. you could do that in a hospital or a car company? >> guest: i will tell you about a great thing that i heard there was a program started by general mills and a couple of other companies. they weren't necessarily even into, but a bunch of different fields. they had this realization that they had all these employees, people who have retired, those that were 62 or 78, still mentally at the top of their game -- they created this network across the different countries where all of the retired employees could check in on t

in ben franklin's day the full of choice was the printing press and today those tools are google and youtube and blogs and other things. we talk about transparency. we talk about making information available. i have been doing this for more than two decades at this point. i can tell you i worked for almost a dozen different members and various capacities and every member's instant reaction to should we make a particular piece of information available is to say no. why would we put that out there? it could create a provocative-communications problem. if we're not directly controlling how that information is used we need to put the brakes on that. i think sort of the sea change that has occurred over the last couple years and frankly when the majority changed this time around the concerted decision was all of this information exists some place and in the era of google and youtube and blogs the notion that you can control it and set on it is not realistic. so better we should be putting that information out there and individual citizens can make their own decisions. that we can debate t

ben franklin are someone only needed to set that in print and now all you need to is to press a button. how does that fit into a campaign? >> obama cannot raise the money without technology. the net is different from a newspaper. you can say whatever you want an infinite number of people can read that. no one will know you wrote that unless you put money behind it or have a way of promoting it. there are similar barriers. you cannot say you're printing press is as important as someone else's printing press. it is more complicated. >> question surprised me. going to say we took a simple subject and made it murky. >> the person who will not read that article is the swing voter. the small donor psychology makes it possible -- we have gotten so many e-mails asking for $3. in 1994, no one asked for $3. it cost just as much if you got more or less money. you can go again and again and people can give what they want. it is brilliant at it has had a transformational power in making it worthwhile for candidates to seek smaller donors. solutions based on encouraging small donors are really the f

bac in ben franklin's day, the tool of choice was the printing press. today those are the google in the youtube and all those other things. we talk about transparency. we talked about making information available. i have been doing this for more than two decades. i have worked for almost one dozen different members in various capacities. every members consider action to should we make a particular piece of information available is to say "no." why would we put that out there? if a trade a communications problem if we are not directly controlling how that information has used. we need to put the brakes on that. i think the change that has occurred over the last couple of years, and frankly when the majority changed this time around, led the decision was all of this information exists someplace. the notion that you can control this, that you can just sit on it, is not realistic. better we should be putting that information out there so that individual citizens can make their own decisions, that we can debate these issues on merit as opposed to who has the

ben franklin or somebody had to set that into print and now what you need to do is push a few buttonsand you really do have unlimited speech that can reach as many people. how does that sit in against citizens united? >> the story first was a technology story. obama cannot raise the money without technology. the net is a little different than a newspaper, but it's true, you can write a blog post, say whatever you want in an infinite number of people could read that blog post. the thing is no one will know you wrote the blog posted on will come to your blog post unless you put money behind it or have a way of promoting it. there are still similar barriers. you can strike it lucky and do viral things to take off, but it is not exactly the same. you can't just say you're printing press now is as valuable as restore our future is printing press because you have access to wordpress or something like that. it's a little more complicated. >> the question surprised me. either you're going to say we took a murky topic and made it murkier.

[laughter] eisenhower was franklin roosevelt's first choice to command the d-day invasion. eisenhower had three amphibious landings under his belt at that time. he got along well with the british and was churchill. that was very important and professor roosevelt there was no question he was going to pick eisenhower although he gave general marshal the opportunity to accept -- text to command the invasion if he wanted and eisenhower was characteristic, self disciplined, refused to express an opinion and president roosevelt selected ike. no one else could develop the western armies together as he could and his decision to land on d-day in spite of the weather caught the germans totally by surprise. they had no idea that innovation was coming. can you imagine 5000 ships in the english channel and the germans not knowing it because of the weather? that happened. the decision to want to take pairs with ike's decision, to take paris was his decision as well. they were to bypass pairs and continue to the german army. he said
