host: we will go to carl in chicago, illinois on our line for democrats. caller: good morning. you are just saying something about a balance between spending and revenue. i think you have it wrong. this is where the problem is. in 2000, we had a balanced budget. republicans chose to take all of the surplus and have tax cuts. they say that we could have a war. they said it would not cost us a dime. it cost us $1 trillion. then we also had the recession. americans lost 30% of their net worth. we lost gdp. this probably comes to maybe about a couple trillion dollars. this is not about the entitlements. not that there cannot be reforms. our fiscal problem is because we did not raise the taxes to pay for these things. it is not because we were spending too much. you cannot buy a yacht and take six months off of work. those were not the problems. the problem is that the republicans spent money and do not want to acknowledge it. host: thank you. guest: thank you for your question and i think you have a very valid point here. let me talk for a second. this is my background. in the spri

illinois and indiana is a risk. now into ohio. chicago had a share of active weather, but it's calming down. the winds are gusty, something chicago is used to. with the wind there's a little rain. the area of low pressure wrapping behind it. the threat will expand eastwards. moderate risks to ohio, kentucky, pennsylvania through until monday. we'll watch the area. now it's the clouds and scattered rain showers, temperatures mild, soring into the '60s, and 70s. here is where we stand. temperatures into the low '60s around dc. we'll keep the warmth around and watch much of the midwest as we go through the day. >> let me ask you hear - we mainly associate tornados in the spring. is is it normal to see this activity in the fall. >> i guess i should say it's not not normal, but we don't typically see outbreaks. but we have a change of air mass. there's a colder air mass moving in, and a mass warming things up and there's a cold front moving through. here is look at the damage we have seen - tree limbs down, and this will be the issue across no

chicago 36, 34 in illinois, st. louis at 39 degrees. typhoon, the recovery effort still underway in the philippines. this is what happened in the mediterranean. large areas of the italian countryside remain underwater. they had about half a year's worth of rain in just a 24-hour period. so they are looking at the recovery efforts there. a lot of mud slides and transportation was shut down. also problems in mexico where thousands of residents have evacuated their homes in vera crus. the region was already saturated. so a lot of recovery going on now, not many big storms happening. you see it is all clear in mexico. the big thing we'll be talking about with the next storm is the cold temperatures across the country. i'll look at what you can expect, when the cold air will come. that's all coming up with the national forecast. >> thank you very much. >>> a florida congressman appeared in court today charged with possessing cocaine. he was sentenced to one year probation. he was arrested last month in washington, d.c. >>> in a statement rad
