it is hard to do in hollywood, but chris white is that guy. he hung in there and was going to have this actor and shoot in l.a. most of these movies are like albuquerque for l.a. this is such a love letter for los angeles. you see it in such a different way. the thing about l.a. i am struck by -- i grew up in chicago. when you go downtown, you had to go through the bad areas, the tough neighborhoods. you had to get to the like. in l.a., these freeways you can bypass anywhere. you never have to get off on the area that maybe you do not want to look at. you never have to. this film forces you to take a look. it is a love letter to los angeles. it is shot so beautifully. for me, getting off that freeway and hanging out in south central -- it is what i loved about being on the set. there is beautiful life out there and wonderful people, and we are not paying a enough attention. tavis: this may seem like a simple, silly question, but how important with a project where you are taking risks is it to have a director you are in love with, who you put a

cabinet better, obama needed to employ those people and bill daley have driving it hard in the white house. chris you see this in the dale to day covering? >> it's so different. the first day in the white house, i remember having a conversation with somebody about why was it we're only seeing obama, maybe at the time rahm and ax. you can count on one hand people who would go on tv shows and talk from the administration. i said what about, named a few cabinet secretaries, why aren't they out there? and this guy looked at me and said, they're not ready for primetime yet. chris: oh, combosh. >> you don't see that anymore. chris: 2012. when he comes out and runs again, how does he sell the fact i need four more years, you need four more years of me? is he going to say, there are things i haven't done i'm going to do or will that scare the center and the right? >> i think he's got to say the things i haven't done. there's no way he can win without that. i think that's absolutely -- chris: more progressive action? more things like health care? >> i think he's going to point to landmark legislation. i t

my goal, chris, is take that voice to the white house where it hasn't been heard for a long time. i think people recognize i'm very sincere in what i say. i will fight, whether it means taking on washington, even sometimes my own party. i'm happy to do that, because we have to turn things around. >> chris: by implication, are you suggesting that mitt romney is not sincere? >> what i'm talking about is what i'm going to do as president of the united states. and in the course of this campaign, i look forward to getting to know more people and explaining more about our plan. >> chris: all right. we're going to talk about the other candidates a little bit later. let me ask you with the spotlight comes new scrutiny. the "los angeles times" has a story out today for all your talk of being a fiscal hawk, in fact you have gone after federal and government -- excuse me, state government money over the years. both personally and professionally. let's put it up on the screen. a counseling clinic -- excuse me -- run by your husband got almost $30,000 in state and federal funds. a farm, in whi

chris: has the white housen covering up? they said we're on a fast train to recovery. every month is going to get better, yet always lower than expected, the recovery numbers. >> they thought back in december when they got the tax cut deal in the lame duck session and it had a bunch of stimulus built into it like unemployment insurance and payroll taxes. chris: the bush tax cuts, keeping them. >> they thought they would get a nice steady ramp through 2011 that would help the faltering recovery take flight. by early 2012, things would be off and running and solid. they have obviously been dealt a severe blow. they have been surprised that what they thought was going to happen has not happened. chris: housing, so many problems out there, they hit especially people 50 and older. we have a report by the association of retired people that basically says that a quarter of the people, 50 and older, have no savings whatsoever. it's all wiped out. 60% basically don't have enough to retire on. these are the people as we all know around this table that vote. >> these are the peop

. >>> and while he's still the guy a lot of republicans want to run for the white house, chris christie has a problem. there it is, using one of the state's new helicopters to fly him to his son's baseball game. the head of the state police pointed out in a statement today, he is the governor 24/7. the office has to go with him wherever life and his travel lead him. >>> when we come back here tonight, tonight, we go back to japan. now months after the nuclear disaster there, how bad is it still? and what weren't we told at the time? >>> and later, he survived a terrible tragedy. now an nfl star stepping up to help and making a difference in his life. make a difference in someone's life. we all have internal plumbing. but for some of us with overactive bladder, our pipes just don't work as well as they should. sometimes, i worry my pipes might leak. but i learned there's something more i can do. now, i take care with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you

chris lawrence is in washington, dan lothian at the white house. chris, let's start with you.earing in the pentagon, there are some real differences between the president and some of his members of the military. >> yeah, kyra, some differences, sure. but if you told me the president wouldn't to bring out 30,000 troops in year and the military didn't want to bring out any, that's a casym between them. that's not the case. what we're hearing from sources is that defense secretary robert gates, general petraeus pushed for a more moderate withdrawal this year. in other words, they didn't want to see any more than maybe 5,000 troops come home this year. primarily for the reason that they wanted to make sure they could still consolidate some of those gains down in the south, helmand province, kandahar, but also begin to divert a lot of the troops to the east. that's the area where the taliban is still very, very potent. that area has been undermanned for a lot of years. so, having more troops now would allow them that flexibility. but what we're hearing from our sources, as you ment

when you stop to think of the precedent, clinton in the white house or chris lee or charles rangel.ons. they end up in the ethics committee. charles rangel is still there. vitter is there on the republican side. >> sorry to interrupt. nancy pelosi called for an ethics investigation, the house democratic leader. just moments ago we have a statement from congressman weiner saying, "i welcome and will fully cooperate with an investigation by the house ethics committee. i'm deeply sorry, to my family, staff and constituents." >> right, he will have to i think really respond in some way that stops the questions. that is the consequence. if the democratic leadership, in how fred talked about speaker boehner had lee resign, if you lose -- if he loses support from nancy pelosi and the like, well, then he is a goner. >> bret: charles? >> i think she a goner. it will probably be certainly in the long run or the medium run and maybe even in the short run. i think the story will continue. there will be drip, drip, drip. i think there is however a lesson in what you mentioned, juan, which is the

chris: mara? >> look, i think that would be the republican argument. for the whitese, there is no way to spin this i think as positive. the economy needs more than 200,000 jobs every month for unemployment to be below 8% by election day. that is the magic number. >> chris: we should point out again, 54,000 jobs is. >> way, way, way below. it was over 200,000 in the month before. but i do think the lack of consumer confidence is at the root of this. kim talked about businesses being uncertain. corporate profits are at an all-time high and wall street is doing great. >> chris: not as great as. >> well, yes, not real recently. but this is going to be tough. the white house was hoping to argue that things are getting better. the truth about the stimulus, without it, things would have been worse. the problem is it makes an unsatisfy campaign message. the re-election campaign of president obama was always going to be much more difficult than 2008. it just got harder this week. >> kim, let me ask you about this. i'd love you to engage the political insider john. john, you

. >> nbc's chris tkristin welker s from the white house. jobs and the economy the topic. >> certainly the economy is taking center stage at the white house. you heard the central question they're trying to answer. are these recent disappointing numbers a blip or is it reflective of a larger slow down in the recovery. the president has long held the message that recovery takes time. there will be bumps on the road. they're opening that these new numbers are just reflective of one of those bumps, but they're getting some discouraging poll numbers. recent poll shows that 59% of respondents disprove of the president's handling of the economy. so that certainly is not a welcome number. on top of all of this, the chairman of the council of economic advisers, austan goolsbee, announced last night he would be resigning to head back to the university of chicago to resume his teaching position there. so there will be some new faces certainly as they move forward to deal with this. tim geithner, the only remaining senior member of the original economi

>> i'll defer to the white house and the president on the legal interpretations. >> chris: you said that getting involved in libya in the first place was the only major disagreement that you have had with this president. do you agree with the current strategy of letting nato take the lead of as it's being called the strategy of leading from behind? is that a strategy for success? >> i think it's absolutely the right strategy. when this operation started, the president, we were at war in iraq. still. we had 50,000 troops in iraq. we had 10,000 troops in afghanistan. we had 24,000 people engaged in japanese earthquake relief. we have a number of commitments around the world so the arrangement and the understanding the president had with our key allies from beginning was the u.s. would come in heavy at the beginning, establish a no-fly zone and then hand off the operation to our allies and we would recede to a support role. that was his decision going in. he stuck to it. >> chris: can this work? can this get gaddafi out of power? >> i think it can over time. i think time means -- >> chris:
