congressman gregory meeks, a democrat from new york and clarence pace, a columnist for the chicago tribunei want to start with the congressman up in new york. i'm amazed because i know -- part of this, i think, may have to do with this hesitancy about going to war in syria. i just think the president is very much in sync with most democrats, which is yeah we might have to do something but i feel very bad about going to war again. i wonder whether his hesitancy isn't perfectly in sync with what most democrats are thinking. your thoughts, sir? >> i think the president is acting deliberately and understanding and learned the lessons of what took place in iraq. he knows and most democrats know, i think, that previously there was -- when we went into iraq, it was a hyped war. we were given misinformation. he's been trying to give the americans the truth. that this is not -- there's no imminent threat or imminent danger as was hyped in iraq. i think democrats understand that. democrats also understand that if you were to go in to take out assad that you would -- syria in the same way as iraq. he

chicago tribune's rick pearson joins us. we know what is next. he plans to appeal but his political opponents and even some democrats are circling around them. what stopped him from just letting this go? i think one thing is the mileage here and he is up for reelection. he does not have a strong opponent as he did when he first made this veto. this is like the old pat quinn. if you go back decades he was the outsider who fought to make sure that legislators did not collect their salary one year in advance. the man who led the teabags movement over a pay increase for legislators that thompson allowed to be overriden. going after legislative pay is in his background and is popular. we know how politicians argue the to these days and who wants to give him money? what are the ramifications? i am not so sure it is a black high. it is a black eye in the legal sense and he is appealing in supreme court but politically you can see the television advertising where i am standing for the taxpayers and the judge made me, made the money go this way, and it is

shooting may have been gang-related. 315 murders have been reported so far in 2013 according to thee chicago tribunewe look at some of the names behind the numbers. >> the nation remembers the tragic shooting of hadaya pendleton, the sophomore who attended president obama's second inauguration. about a week later in her south side neighborhood she was fatally shot. she's one of 315 homicide victims documented in chicago this year. every yellow dot on this map represents a life lost. nearly three weeks after pendleton's death chicago mourned the loss of six-month-old. shot in broad daylight while her father was changing her diaper. and 74 people were shot and 12 killed. not all of chicago's victims made national headlines like terrence graves, a 23-year-old man who sold newspapers and grout every morning. another gun violence victim, he left behind his fiancÉ and four-year-old daughter. and then 67-year-old billy sargent was fatally shot at a coffee shop. and then a 49-year-old who was shot while picking up his cab route. these victims were not affiliated with gangs but their deaths were related to g

i want to quickly read what's in "the chicago tribune." their editorial board met with state officials who were trying to explain obama care. five days before the launch of this massively ambitious redesign of national health care, the insurance policies to be offered in illinois are still a mystery. co-pays, deductibles, premiums still a mystery. will your doctor and hospital be included in the insurance networks? still a mystery. is it time for the president's back-up team, the people who are getting this message out, to stop discussing republicans. it is the law. do as much as possible to help those individuals and their stories understand what's going to happen to them on tuesday. >> yes, it is. not only for the president's team defined as members of the administration, but i'm curious to see come next week will rank and file elected democrats in the house and senate try and sell this with him. something i don't think they've done in the elections that we've had since obama care, the affordable care act was initially passed. so much of
