bruce leshan, thank you for that. >> bruce johnson is down at the federal district court with the latest on this story. bruce. >> yeah, we were saying earlier that jeff thompson said that the vincent gray, 2010 shadow campaign was originally hatched in meetings with jeff thompson, jaeny clark harris and hawkins. let's go to that package right now. >> arrived at u.s. district courthouse about an hour before his hearing before the judge, he could face as little as six months in jail. inside the courtroom, prosecutors delivered what is probably thompson's most crucial point. he told harris and hawkins in a private meeting if the mayor wants me to pay more for a shadow campaign, he'll have to come here and personally ask me himself. prosecutors went on to say that harris arranged for the mayor and jeff thompson to meet alone in her apartment in june of 2010. prosecutors say gray gave thompson a budget for getting out the vote. the amount, over $425,000. prosecutors alleged that thompson agreed to pay and gray thanked him using the name, all had agreed on, uncle earl. the shadow campaign got

thank you, bruce. now, recapping for you very quickly. a lack back at how we got to today's guilty plea from jeff thompson. >> in 2010, vince gray defeated him and went on to win the general election. one year later, former mayoral candidate, sulaimon brown accused him to stay in the race so he could attack mayor fenty. gray campaign assistant and campaign consultant admitted they gave brown illegal campaign contributions. that very same year, campaign consultant, jean clark harris admitted she concealed $653,000, which had secretly been paid by jeffrey thompson. and then in 2013, former aid, vernon hawkins admitted he took money supplied by thompson and gave it to another man. the goal, get him out of town so he couldn't talk to the fbi about that shadow campaign. >> and it is a bit of an under statement if we tell you this could impact the upcoming election. we will note early voting for d.c. drentzs starts next monday. that's march 17. primary day is april 1. stay with us. we have a lot more on this could save you fifteen percent or mo

the surrogates may be will live our lives as the circus and that's what the movie, circus starring bruce willis, was all about. in that world people prefer to live in superhuman bodies. i don't want to go back to being human anymore. they prefer to be superhumans. and then, of course, because it's a hollywood movie, bruce willis messes it all up in terms of all the superhuman bodies at the end. anyway, thank you so much for being here today.

i felt like it was a nuclear strike, like they were blaming us. >> bruce, you shouldn't be able to get away with that, should you? >> i do agree with rick that we don't have a shred of evidence yet relative to the white house and i think this does potentially give other irs workers who didn't have anything to do with anything in cincinnati, whatever happened, but i think the chairman blew it in the last week because he pulled the plug on the microphone of the democrat who -- we don't even know what he was going to say. >> eli sha cummings. >> it was a political story and then you have the white house saying it's politics. >> what's more important, decorum during a hearing or getting to what happened? >> i apologize for that hissy fit. it was a mistake but the it was a side show. there hasn't been much evidence because there hasn't been much of an investigation. the justice department made sure that didn't happen. all these incriminating memos, it's a whitewash and that's why, sadly, we need a special prosecutor, things that i hate. you saw that smug interview the president had with o'r

. >>> hello, i'm bruce johnson.ou for joining us, everybody. >>> the mild weekend expected to turn into sleet and snow come monday. go straight over to first alert meteorologist erica grow. she has been tracking the winter weather. >> that's why we have this winter storm watch in effect for the entire d.c. metro, from midnight until6:00 p.m. on monday. and we are expecting quite a bit of snow. it's going to start out as a wintry mix for all the areas that are shaded here in pink. this is monday morning and then changing over to snow. mostly all snow in western maryland and still looking at mostly rain in the very southern tip of maryland and the northern neck of virginia but once we get into the afternoon hours on monday, it's mostly all snow even in the beltway and the mix to snow still hanging on but only in southern maryland and the eastern shore, so significant snowfall accumulations are likely throughout the entire metro. two components to this system that we can see right now, we are still tracking this system

there are many who have not formed an opinion about bruce braley.s not going to help when a vast majority of the constituents are farmers who may not have law degrees. republicans have thought that he is not the candidate that democrats have sold them on. >> when house members run statewide they often run into trouble. that recording was made in january. but it was released just last week. the filing deadline in iowa was march 14th. so the republicans, the conservative group, molly, that shot it, held it until the filing deadline, so the democ t democrats couldn't get somebody else in the race, cynical? >> well, it is effective. and in 2010, the republicans had a shot and failed to take the senate. there is a lot more strategic thinking going on. there is a lot more of settling on the right candidate in advance of the primary and avoiding some of the destructive fights. there are a lot more sort of establishment candidates who appear more electable, who are pulling ahead and evading some of the more flawed tea party candidates we had in the past. so

bruce and i will look at these cases. case in new york and the subway bombing -- how did the jt ts, that generally work well together, did they work well together and all of these cases? we see that they may have worked well together, but not work as closely or shared information in fort hood. why is that? how do we ensure more consistent efforts between the jtts? these are some things we will look at. we will look at these on a base by -- case-by-case basis. >> i will follow-up with you finish with the general. i want to talk about the privacy rights of individual americans. after he finished, thank you. >> you are going to meet with director mueller and director joyce? that is a good idea. one of the key elements to look at domestic radicalization, according to research, there have been 74 threats since 9/11. 53 in the last five years alone. including fort hood, times square, and boston marathon. how will the commission study this threat? do you have any initial comments? the second.come to any thoughts? well, this goes

bruce leshan reports it is a far different portrait than the one in the federal prosecutor's indictment of maureen mcdonnell and her husband, the former governor. >> reporter: prosecutors portrayed maureen mcdonnell as a woman brazen enough to ask a wealthy businessman for a rolex to give to her husband, the governor, but the e-mails between her staffers and a managements team from virginia commonwealth university -- management team from virginia commonwealth university paint a very different picture. the 700 pages of messages obtained by the associated press and washington post suggest maureen mcdonnell was nearly frozen in fear by the prospect of preparing for a public speech. i just think she needs some crazy bills writes then senior aide kristen kaplan. she gets too damn stressed about each project. it is almost like she's just terribly bored with nothing to do. she doesn't have to clean, to cook, to parent, to even do her own work, but the task of even leaving the house gets her all crazy stressed. at one point the first lady allegedly screamed so loudly at kaplan the governor's se

. >> bruce bastian was an army medic in iraq.ung man dedicated to saving lives in combat, but when we met him at the limon correctional facility in colorado, he was serving time for the mayhem he and a friend caused on the streets of colorado springs. >> when i approached bruce, he was outside of his cell, and i said, bruce, you know, i'm with the camera crew, what do you want? i know why you're here, and we'd love to get your story. he said, well, why wouldn't you want my story, look at me. i'm like a movie actor. >> bastian accepted a plea bargain on two murder charges that resulted in a 60-year sentence for accessory and conspiracy to commit murder and aggravated robbery. the crimes occurred over a four-month period and were committed by bastion, who was home on leave, and a discharged army buddy. their two murder victims were fellow soldiers, one of whom served in their unit. >> it just kind of came out of nowhere one night really. i mean, we were sitting there, we were drinking at my house. so we decided to go out and leave

with us money manager bruce berkowitz, founder of fair home capital management. welcome to the show. terrific to have you here. tell us what you want fannie mae and freddie mac to do? >> i want them to respect their owners. i mean they have a very tough deal with the government in 2008 and everything, it worked. everything is perfect. then in 2012 your, the basically shareholders assets were taken from them. gerri: but, bruce, why should this money go to you and investors rather than to taxpayers? >> well, i think it should go to both. i'm a shareholder and a taxpayer and i have 170,000 clients, retirees, 401(k)s. we own the company. that is normally what an investor is and fannie mae and freddie mac are no different than coca-cola or disney. so the question is why shouldn't all of their profits go to taxpayers? shareholders are taxpayers. >> absolutely different situation. we bailed out those two companies. >> no. gerri: as taxpayers, we bailed out fannie mae and freddie mac. shouldn't we be the first to reap the rewards? >> well, and, same case with aig, bank o

as you look at this, jeff, you know, bruce just said, you have to be patient. you can't be obsessed with getting the latest and greatest and the most edgy, stylish thing. what would you tell people? you're on the inside. you know what these companies are doing. both of you. go right ahead. >> well, basically i would say that consumers ought to be patient, but that kind of goes against our grains as americans. we want, what we want, now. and i think that's the big issue. gerri: and bruce, in our quest to find the lowest prices ever, tell us about the internet, isn't it? >> well, of course because the internet has democratized pricing and made all pricing information available. once again, you need to take your time. you need to do your reserve. you need to realize functionally the products are interchangeable. so you have to look for the best deal, based on what will fulfill your needs at the right price. but i still don't think it's a matter of consumers being stupid. not at all. gerri: oh good. >> i think it is a matters of consumers being emotional. dale carn

but -- >> jimmy: you have studied bruce willis. >> oh, yes. >> jimmy: what did you learn from bruce willis yeah, of course. it takes -- it takes training. i mean, i studied at a drama school at waper we call it. the western australian academy of performing arts. >> jimmy: that's what we call a hamburger.

a 5-generation family business, today, bruce has more than 600 acres devoted to both conventional andanic processing tomatoes. and he hopes to harvest more than 30,000 tons of them this year alone. >> well, these tomatoes were transplanted in early april of this year. we buy little transplants from a greenhouse. we select certain varieties that are suited to the cannery. now, these harvesters just pick one time through. they pull the whole vine out of the ground, they shake the tomatoes off gently, separate them from the vines, any dirt or anything like that. we have some sorters to take out any broken tomatoes or any dirt or green tomatoes, load them right in the trailer and they're off to the cannery immediately. so, these tomatoes, you know, within just several hours of when we pick them, they're in the cannery being processed. this variety of tomato is a heinz variety. it's called 9663. and all the varieties we grow are bred to ripen all at the same time. you see that there's probably 95, 98% of these tomatoes are dead ripe at the se me. and so that makes a ce one- pass mechanil h
