[laughter] earlier this year, mike was under pressure from republican leaders to run for an open seat. they tried to convince and saying it would be a great stepping stone. mike has ambitions they go far beyond getting passed over for vice president. [laughter] i'm glad to see you are celebrating women and diversity in the newsroom. it's glad to know that someone is in the newsroom. we have come a long way. think about 25 years ago. arlen specter was the republican, joe lieberman was a democrat, and david's sister actually wanted to work at msnbc.

chuck schumer has been pushing this issue. he wanted president obama to do it right away, chuk schumer, the senator from new york. he's head of the committee. and he's pushing hard. and i think he's sincere, he has been doing it for so long. nonetheless i still think the reason we're talking about it now as we mentioned last week is that latino voters are so far a little apathetic. democrats need them, especially harry reid in nevada needs them. and they are trying to get them to come out to vote by putting immigration top burner. but the prospects of it passing, a, depends on them doing the real preparatory work in the senate which has not been done. you know, think how much ted kennedy and john mccain did last time that stuff hasn't been done. and b, another change in public opinion. if you just polled publicly right now, should we put up a fence or should we do comprehensive immigration reform, well, put up the fence would win with both parties. the number of people who now want to do the comprehensive reform which involves

fuel efficiency standards are set by chuck schumer who lives in new york. i don't know if he walks to the super market, he sends his staff or whatever. they hate cars. these people hate cars. come out west. we drive 40 miles to get a pizza. so the notion that you just -- you load $1100 on the cost of a vehicle because you feel like it, better off to pay the gasoline tax. then everybody would pay the same. the president's car gets 10 miles to the gallon. but it is quite heavy. so i think conservatives should prefer taxes that incorporate the cost of the social cost of externalities in the products consumers buy. you think we should be the last to have the consumers passing their cost, their private cost on to society as a whole. now, the question, of course, of identifying externalities, there's no easy thing. but i mean you can do it with as much accuracy as can carol browner identify the emissions from your lawn mower. so i wouldn't worry too much about that. here's the hard part. that was easy. that was easy. what do you do with the externalities are posi

now that doesn't mean i'm a big fan of chuck schumer or any of these people. but it is nutty. and the notion that china which holds the ious, that's somehow a benign fact is also crazy. they are coming here next week, sometimes, the chinese. they will, i believe, agree to modest sanctions on iran, at least meaningless sanctions. they will offer a little bit of currency fluxuation and flexibility in return for us making a private agreement to not sell arms to taiwan and a wh

in response, seven senator, including chuck schumer have backed legislation to make sure no other airlinesting with the ceo of spirit airlines. the senator joins us on the phone right now. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> steve: so you're going to sit down with the ceo of spirit airlines. what are you going to tell him? >> what i'm going to tell him is that, you know, everyone understands that airlines have difficulties, price of fuel is up and more competition, the hub system may not have worked. when other things were taken away or other things were charged, they didn't like it, but they could have shrugged their shoulders, no meals, no peanuts. this is different. this steps over the line because carry-on bag is part and parcel of flying and people need it and parents need it for their children. business people need it to work on plane. you often need it if you're running to make a stop. >> steve: you don't have to pay for carry-on if you put it under your seat, though. >> yeah. then you'll get all kinds of people shoving things under the seat. there are certain places you j

chuck schumer got involved. he got delta and jetblue to promise they will not follow suit.ng with spirit's ceo tomorrow. >> we actually had him on the show and talking about that whole thing and christina did a little breakdown of what you're getting when you fly these days. >> unbelievable. >> but we're talking about goldman sachs and the sec accusing this huge bank of fraud. >> a fraud charge for goldman sachs, a company that has minted money over the past 15 months, a company that took bailout money over a year ago, now charged with fraud by the sec. this story is just getting started. the drama started to unfold. i'll tell you what happens next in the goldman sachs fraud case. >>> well, it's about 19 minutes past the hour. time for "minding your business." we're talking about goldman sachs. the sec -- can't even spit it out. i'm obsessed with the story. we talked about how they emerged unscathed by the recession and what rule did they play in it if any. >> i'm not sure they were ever going -- i think they were trying to see what was around the corner. the reputation pro

senator chuck schumer is trying to address this. he is asking the treasury department to rule that carry- ons are a necessity, making them exempt from any fees. he says if the treasury department does not take action, he will enact legislation. we have a full report on our website, wjla.com. >> and thank you. today's nice weather made it easier for sme to go back to work, harder for others. >> doug hill is in the weather center. he did come into work today. >> there are a couple of systems coming in this week, but neither of them is very strong. in the city, beautiful weather, sunshine, a low 70's. there are just a few eying clouds around the area. check out the -- a few high clouds around the area. check out these numbers. here is our forecast through this monday evening. we will have a few clouds, temperatures in the 60's. overnight, it will be between 44 and 50 degrees. if you are suffering from seasonal allergies, i think you're going to like this. more about that coming up. >> coming up, phil mickelson may have a one a green ja

not do a symbolic revaluation and getting that managed peg to creep up a bit, then we'll have chuck schumer and the rest of the protectionists in congress aided and abetted by our protectionist in chief, that will result in a war that -- so a little r & b valuation is way better than that. china's economy has the hottest inflation rate of any major economy in the world. the reason why is because they don't have independent monetary policy, but being pegged to the dollar they're pegged to our policy. that may make sense for a 10% unemployment rate, but it does not make sense for a 10% gdp growth rate, which you have in china. the only way to seize bay any independence is to start revalues the yuan. >> i think that's a brilliant point. >> that's a nobel prizewinning point. absolute brilliant point, that they are tied to our zero interest rate policy, which is completely inconsistent with their situation, probably inconsistent with our economic situation, probably. michael farr, let me come back and ask you about tax policy, okay? then no tax hikes for the remainder of this year, but in 2011,

chuck schumer joins us live. >>> we begin with the outrage around the world. a 7-year-old boy in the middle of a firestorm. he was adopted by a woman in tennessee but she says he grew psychotic, threatening to kill the entire family. so she took desperate action, put him on a flight to moscow and thought the nightmare was over. today, the drama is only, only deepening. martin savidge has the latest. >> reporter: it began when this 7-year-old little boy stepped off the plane in moscow thursday, alone, with a note from his adoptive american mom saying she was returning him, because he was mentally unstable and violent. russians were outraged. countries foreign minister even threatened to suspend all adoptions to the u.s. and the media flocked here to the small town of shelbyville, tennessee, looking for the family that sent the kid back. that family doesn't want to be found. this has been our regular routine here in shelbyville. we come to the door every couple of hours, knock on it, never have any response. yesterday, they were a bunch of notes here in journali

some would say chuck schumer is a great defender of israel, one of our -- >> neil: he couldn't have sported this treatment. >> what he says is he's working behind the scenes. if you talk to anybody else they say we're working behind the scenes. if must be very crowded there. [ laughter ] but chuck says if he's unable to get the obama administration to change his position, he will be speaking out. that's what he told me. >> neil: but they didn't change things. and regardless of policy disputes with the leader, rarely do you sequester him to a room in the white house, avoid any pictures with him, and then only a few days later, greet the leader of france with whom we have had rocky relation, speaking bluntly, it is weird. >> well, it's not only weird, it's unacceptable and the fact is what the president did was engage in discourtesy that he never shows to an ally. and israel has been one of our closest allies. he said that on prior occasions. >> neil: why do you think he did it? force israelis to get worried? >> i believe he wants to demean israel, blame it for the impasse, the fact is the tw

both chuck schumer and dick durbin would love to be leader if reid were to lose in november. polls show that harry reid could lose. you have this jockeying going on to sort of position yourself to be the leader if reid loses. one of the things you do is raise money for your colleagues to show you're a party player and one of those colleagues happens to be reid. they're doing big fund-raisers to raise as much money for reid. i don't think either of them are wishing ill will for reid, but they are positioning themselves so that if he lost, they could step in and be leader. >> it's a kind of delicate dance. there's been no funeral yet, the body is still warm, but they want to jockey for position and the other interesting piece of this, they're roommates. they love together on the hill when they're not in their hometown. how does that go down? >> the thing about the senate, it really is this small, intimate club. most of these members are close friends and the thing is, they have enormous ambition. that's why they're not senate to begin with. you have two people here, they've don

new york senator chuck schumer wants it. that's very odd coming from a new york senator because it's going to be very damaging to banks. then you've got this announcement too. from the senate budget committee, mr. pence. apparently, they are not going to advance an inflation allowance for the alternative minimum tax. so you can have 100 million people -- i'm sorry. 30 million people may be hit with a higher alternative minimum tax after next year. the death tax, the inheritance tax is going up. the bank tax is back on the table. and a european franco-german value added tax looks to be on the table. your speech down in new orleans -- i heard it on c-span driving to the weekend place a couple of weeks ago. it's one of the best things i've heard in a long time. where are the constitutional limits? where is the tea party contract with america? where are the spending cuts, mr. pence? it seems like, after all the demonstrations across the country last week, it's all gone, and we're just back to taxing and spending. >> we really ar

this is chuck schumer who also hold the political position for democrats. this is likely the first of several hearings on the issue. your poll finds people are not necessarily dissatisfied with the system, but with the members of congress themselves. guest: yes, the members have very low regard. nearly any criticism you raise large numbers agree with, that they are just out for themselves, not careful with the money from the public, influenced by special interests, and on and on. there is a great deal of cynicism about elected officials. host: so, what does it say about incumbents? those of the the party? guest: it is very low, typically people like their own congressman, but not others, but now they say even their own that deserve not to be reelected. host: does that change according to party? guest: there is certainly more of an anti-incumbent feeling among republicans, but it is across the board. there is a very angry mood out there among voters. host: how did you go about this survey? guest: the major one was through march, then several follow-ups, one

the democrats a very aggressive strategy, as they played these videos, chuck schumer, democrat of nework, wanted to make this point. >> bottom line, on the health care bill, we allowed too many thrice get thought without rebuttal because they were so obviously untrue. but we have learned our lesson and the minute these things come out of the mouths of some of our republican colleagues we rebut them and we rebut them again and again. >> congressman, to you first, since hurt in mild of politics, there is a comparison to the last big debate that is health care. democrats handling this better, more discipline you disagree with some of your democratic friend some of the language? >> i think this is going to be at least a 60-vote bill in the senate so it will probably end up being a 70-vote bill. i expect substantial republican support. the politics of this bill are different in two ways. first, we need 60 votes which means we need some republican support and second, we have much broader public support. you can argue -- we'd like to argue that a majority of the americans like the health car

democrats as well have been raising money forever on wall street, whether it's rahm emanuel, chuck schumer, you yourself. democrats and republicans have both been raising money. not just mitch mcconnell going to wall street for the money. that's where the money is. a lot of people have so much anger right now at wall street. the gallup poll finds that when people talk about regulating banks, there's a marginal, you know, a narrow support for that. when they talk about regulating wall street, it jumps to 14 points. it's a toxic phrase now. it's been demonized by some people, fair point. but isn't there a revolving door that feeds this? let's talk about some of the lobbyists on this. our former leaders trent lott and gephardt, democrats, republicans, all sorts of people formerly in the house and senate in major roles are now lobbying right now on financial services. what does that tell the american public and do you think there's something wrong with this system? >> there's something wrong with the campaign funding system. as you know, andrea, i've been a long time supporter of public financ

as far as i know there has been some work done by chuck schumer and lindsay graham and others but i don'tthink there has been that level of work and the political climate couldn't be worse. >> woodruff: do you see the white house taking this on. >> i think the white house made a pledge, the president did during his campaign that he would do it in the first year of his presidency. we're well into the second year. and i think david is right. the agreement is if anything happens the senate has to act first. the house is not going to act. the house has repeatedly acted first on the president's program and waited in many cases in vein for the senate to act. i don't think-- and harry reid, the senate leader who represents nevada who is embattled running for re-election has a large latino population there, very practically speaking, judy, democrats need to energize the latino constituency which voted 2 to 1 for barack obama and which now expresses next to very little interest in the election of 2010. so they bring it up and say look, the republicans sabotaged it because are you going to invite i

chuck schumer a big player from new york where wall street is, some money there and this is the houseide down here. democrat of connecticut, democrat of new hampshire that should be. getting big money from there as well. one last look at this. why are they spending all this money? they don't like some of the things in the legislation. they don't like that the congress wants more derivatives trading to be more open, transparent and public. they think you increase transparency about the risk. if you buy a derivative you should know how risky it is. and the new law would allow regulators greater ability to step in. the banks think it could result in billions less for them. what's the impact of all that lobbying and campaign money? when we come back the intersection of money and poll continuation. john is a ford and lincoln mercury service technician. very smart. we were just discussing the circumstances by which a person can find himself in four separate places at one time. i didn't really say that. but people come in here for tires, brakes, batteries and oil changes. so it's possible? y

but new york democrat chuck schumer asked him to look elsewhere. >> the overwhelming consensus in new york, as you know, is that it shouldn't be there. and i just strongly urge you to make sure that that doesn't happen, find a better >> lehrer: republicans-- like senator sessions-- said guantanamo suspects should not be tried anywhere on the u.s. mainland. >> the american people are not interested in terrorists being brought from guantanamo to their own communities. reality is a stubborn thing. pretending that terrorists can safely be treated as common criminals will not make it so. >> lehrer: republicans also questioned the handling of the christmas day airline bomb plot. the suspect was read his rights shortly after his arrest, and referred to civilian courts. holder said he stood by that choice. >> i think the decision that was made has been shown to be the right one, given the fact that we had the ability to get information from him in that one-hour interaction immediately after he was apprehended, and then the information that he has since provided as a result of his decision to

of course, the front page of "the new york times" talking about chuck schumer, a man who was once very close to wall street. now brush back, not only from wall street but also from mike bloomberg. >> taert. the mayor is convinced that this will hurt the city's budget. he's convinced that it's going too far in effort for them just to say they've done something. he's looking at this as a jobs question. he's looking at it as a question of new york. what is-s a fat cat bonus to somebody else is a tax payment to mim. >> that's jobs. mike allen, the star of this sunday's -- >> oh, check it out. >> -- new york times magazine, very, very exciting for you, mike. i can't wait to wake up to my sunday "new york times" and read that story about mike allen. >> love it. >>> up next, the big headlines from last night's nfl draft. who's taking a chance on tim tebow? that's next in sports. >>> also, blago versus obama. how the former illinois governor is hoping to drag the president into his federal corruption trial. keep it right here on "morning joe" brewed by starbucks.

chuck schumer is the best friend out there for wall street, has been doing them favors for a very long time now, and yet and again, we fall into the cycle where the democrats propose legislation and it becomes this theater as if somehow they're cracking down on wall street. i guarantee you goldman sachs and these other guess are going to give -- guys are going to give money to democrats as long as they're in power. mig this question about a crackdown on wall street is a political sure meant to shore up the democrats' chances come 2010 because there's a belief it's much better for the democrats to run on we brought down the fat cats than it is we added to your government with health care and other things. so is there an argument to be made there, that this is all political? >> well, everything is political, megyn, you know that, but here's the reality, wall street took this country down, and now it's time for the democrats to take wall street and put them back in their place, and there was a lack of regulation, a lack of oversight, and there are a lot of loopholes that need to be closed

senator chuck schumer of new york is vowing to fight the plan and stop other airlines from doing the same thing. earlier today on our sister network cnn, the senator said this proposal just goes too far. >> you know, this is the last straw. everyone understands the airlines have difficulty. fuel prices and everything else. so when they took away the pillows and the meals and even the leg room, that's very ann annoying to me. i'm not that all, 6'1" but sometimes i can't fit in some of the airlines. but everyone said, okay, okay, okay. now this is stepping over the line. >> the fees are for bags that must fit in an overhead bin, not a purse that could fit underneeths the seat. these fee goes into effect august 1st. >>> poland's president will be buried saturday. lech kaczynski and 95 other people were killed in a plane crash on saturday. there were no technical problems with the soviet-made plane. they are suggesting human error caused the plane to go down during a landing attempt in dense fog in western russia. only 14 bodies have been afd, including the president and his wife. kaczyn

spirit airlines said it would be charging up to $45 to stow your carry-on in the overhead bin, chuck schumero promise that they would not follow suit. among them, american airlines, delta, united, u.s. airways and jetblue. jetblue, which of course has been very, very slow to follow in the trend of adding fees to everything. they don't want to, shall we say, tick off their core customers, but spirit is sticking to its guns and says it will continue to try this new way of charging people a fee for the services they use because they say it's a free market. if you don't like it, you don't bring a bag. i guess. >> absolutely. i had an interview with the ceo of spirit this weekend. he defended it saying this is what works for his customers and his airline. he's not asking anybody else to do it. he says his customers will respond and if you check your bag you have a lower ticket price is how he justifies this thing, christine. once again -- >> and the unbundling. consumers call it nickel and diming. the industry calls it unbundling where they take it apart and charge you for what you use. this tren

responding to spirit to charge $35 for each carry-on, american, united, delta and jet blue told chuck schumer they won't do the same, at least for now. >> good morning. we are off to a quiet start. the temperatures are in the mid- forties. this afternoon the temperature will push into the low 60s. >> and that's your latest weather. ann? >> al, thanks. for the first time, the government is going after a company that helped some investors profit from the collapse of the housing market. securities and exchange commission filed a civil lawsuit friday against powerhouse goldman sachs. we've got msnbc's dylan ratigan here to talk about this. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> walk us through exactly what the shenanigans specifically were. >> here's an accusation. as with anything with wall street, you have one group of people who believe that a bunch of home mortgages were going to be worthless and you have another group of people who maybe didn't know. goldman sachs was called by an individual who believed that these mortgages were going to become worthless and goldman was asked to package t

rift between the mayor of new york city and the empire senior senior, michael bloomberg sour on chuck schumerment and reports say he was critical of the new york democrat during a meeting with minority republican leader mitch mcconnell and a growing dispute, schumer backing a strict regulation on banks and hedge funds, bloomberg saying it would drain new york city's lifeblood. it is important today on the story, because the president is here within an hour, liz claman, the "fox business" network, count down to the closing bell and bulls & bears and everything else that moves on fbn! how are you. >> well. bill: not just the mayor is ticked off, or has a rub with schumer but the white house, he says you will kill jobs here. >> and he's sticking up for new york city and this is our home town paper, "the new york post.".. and part of the family and it says don't kim the golden goose and this mayor says, 1 in 12 working new yorkers, bill are related to the financial sector here and is a huge, huge tax revenue generator and he says don't be too tough and feels senator schumer, perhaps at least acco

he and chuck schumer, the democrat, got a bill.a meeting with the president a few weeks back and they kind of feel that lindsey graham is protecting john mccain, for example, his mentor who back in arizona does want want to deal with the immigration issue, pretty controversial. one time john mccain was middle of the road on immigration and now he's got a republican primary fight and he's moving to the right on immigration and other issues and lindsey graham rejects it and says no way, it has nothing to do with john mccain, he thinks they're trying to take on too many issues too fast. >> it's a strange way to protest something, though. >> the bottom line, though, is lindsey graham was the only one working with the white house on either energy or immigration reform and it's unlikely they'll get either right now. i have other things for you, i heard your accommodations in d.c. was not that good, so i got you white house toilet paper. as an anchor -- >> they had white house toilet paper. >> it was pretty bad. and you got white house ro

chuck schumer and chris van hollen are seeking to address in legislation closing some of these loopholeseme court decision. host: 2012, your story, gingrich raises 2.7 million for a possible run in 2012. and democrats raise cash for 2012. guest: potentially, if some lawmakers want to run for president, they could transfer money to a nascent presidential campaign. on the flip-side, you have republicans gearing up for a run, raising money into political action committees. many times you see leadership pac's like romney's paying staffers who end up being staffers for presidential runs, and a lot of pac's, the main purpose of them, they do give money to other candidates, so that puts out chips they can collect if they decide to run in the future. gingrich's committee is different, a 527, not registered with the lection commcis -- election commission, so he can raise money, except for contributions. whereas mitt romney can give contributions to anything. in fact, he did get $52,000 to the current governor of minnesota, tim pawlenty. sarah palin, same thing, $400,000. mike huckabee, former gov

and senator chuck schumer. his in the competitive inside game. it is interesting how much of what they now do is being viewed in thatoptic. you cannot cannot to say you expect a leader to lose. it was traumatic when senate daschle did, but that is the back story of a lot going on right now. host: let me ask you about a story concerning the nuclear arms summit. you said he has come, this professor reorial role -- how does that work on any of these issues we have been talking about? guest: it works quite well. i have quoted some diplomat saying he is really at his best when acting as the teacher. i think that the blair house event was very, he was very effective. some of the diplomats i talked to accepted that event as what he sounded like a lot of the closed door meetings at the summit. these are technical, complicated pieces of legislation that cover a lot of parts of the economy and society. . . this has been the big upset of this whole issue. and it's causing an enormous amount of problems. we actually need to go back to a court case in 1974, l

>> i feel sorry for chuck schumer right now. >> he rarely goes silent. >> but there was such grand sorts and i want the e-mails and i'm going to get to the bottom of this and call you all in. >> can heart krikets over there. >> why? >> tell me why, mika. >> we're waiting for the latest funding numbers for mr. cuomo. >> you did a special report. >> i've got to ask, let me finish this. i've been trying to get this one question out. i usually am silent here for three hours. if you just let me ask one question. >> barely a peep is heard. >> if the s.e.c. prevails in its civil charges against goldman sachs, does lloyd blankfein survive? >> blankfein. >> whatever you want to call him. >> i can't even get blankfein out. does he survive? >> it would in that case be a real question. i think is he known inside the firm for being a trader and being great at that. however, there's a real question as to whether he is sort of a leader of the stature that would be required to get through this. if he goes though, the firm will want someone internal who stands for those business principles. >> along wit

senators chuck schumer and dick durbin, rivals to succeed harry reid as majority leader, if somethinghould happen to mr. reid in the state of nevada. they're both raising money for him. talk about this delicate dance they're having to do. >> it's more than a delicate dance. it's a crazy washington story. these two people who both want senator reid's job as the senate majority leader, they're united in one thing, and that is raising money. and they're raising money to help him keep the job that he -- that they want. so yesterday senator schumer was with leader reid up in brooklyn. and dick durbin of illinois has an event out there for him. senator durbin loan has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for harry reid. and as "morning joe" viewers know, leader reid could use it. things not looking good. one of the reasons that immigration is going back to the top of the agenda. he appeared in washington, he thinks that will help him. and he's going to try and ride this banking issue. we're told that as soon as tomorrow, leader reid is going to force another vote, try and get republicans

chuck schumer has worked very hard, in all fairness, for us. some of the others on some things have and some things have not. our problem is not so much the federal to government. we just have to make new york city be the reason that people want to come and stay there. >> one thing you have said about job creation and holding jobs is when you start talking about the financial community and start attacking certain aspects of the job committed to, you are talking about jobs in new york city. >> we are talking about fire, police, everybody. how do you think we pay them? the money that the financial industry generates. >> with reform -- with reference to the regulatory reform bill making its way to the senate' ad if that bill was in place, would it have avoided the economic recession that we faced? >> i think that the measures that are contained in the dodd bill would vary substantially have reduced the factors that came together to produce this crisis. if you ask are we ever going to pass a law that abolishes the business cycle or make financial a
