office on columbia., the words of a man who roberts has been closely covering, gustavo petro, the mayor of bogotÁ. earlier this month, columbia's inspector general announced petra would have to leave office or the alleged mismanagement of the capital's rubbish collection service. however his supporters say the former left-wing rebel has been the victim of a right-wing coup. asked7, democracy now! gustavo petro about his part as a former guerrilla and member of the m-19. m-19 was a blizzard force in colombia against the state of siege, against dictatorial forms that columbia had two decades ago. and it ceased being a belligerent force in terms of an armed movement when it negotiated [indiscernible] held in 1991, in which we won the election by popular vote and transformed at least in terms of the constitution, it transformed the country from a dictatorship into a democracy with progress. in 1991, the, constitution of columbia which calls for rule of law and significant social policies for reducing inequal

there is a good future for columbia. i have tried to reiterate that every day to my fellow colombians and the world. of course we have problems and challenges, of course there are still many problems, we cannot fix the country that has been at war for 50 years in three years, but we are making progress. we're making progress in our relations with the u.s. could be better. that we have say good relations with both parties and we have very good relations with obama administration and that has been working very well. been ath sides, this has win-win situation. in thingsperating like education, technology, and for example, we are connecting school in columbia with broadband and fiber optics. this is going to be the first country that will be completely connected in latin america. how can we use that infrastructure and that technology to better combat poverty? to take to the very remote regions the benefits of technology. those are the type of challenges that the u.s. could help us with a lot. you have the know-how. you have

but that is not going to happen in the district of columbia. we have the highest disposable income in the nation. we have residents moving into our city on a monthly basis. the growth for walmart is in the inner cities. that is the reason why they're facing opposition in new york, chicago, san francisco. melissa: if you have the highest disposable income then it seems like you don't need to raise anybody's wages. if you have the most disposable income you're already all set. >> no, we're not set because we have to pick up the safety net costs. i imagine yourself. could you le off $15,000 on annual basis? why would you want someone else to live off $15,000. melissa: i absolutely got it of college my first job was minimum wage. i worked in college to save money to have the job so i could start the industry and work my way up. >> how long ago was that? melissa: it was minimum wage at the time. it wasn't $8. it was $6.10 when i got out of school with college degree. so i could work in the industry and work m way up. that is entry level job. that is

a product in a most every way of the district of columbia.not to be redundant, but i got into this for the right reasons. >> if you were not yourself, looking at this from the outside, what would you think? would you think that your administration is corrupt? >> i think it is unfair to say "our administration." i have distinguished between the campaign and the administration, and if there is something about our administration that you want to put your finger on, i would invite you to do that. but i think that is an unfair characterization. >> typically, talking about the situation -- >> what does that have to do with campaign versus governing? >> you are the mayor. >> absolutely. >> i am looking at this mayor. think? you >> lots of people probably have that question. i know who i i get up everyday am. and look in the mirror, and see someone that i respect. >> corrupt. this has been going on for a couple of years. where are we in whatever investigation you have been covering? >> we have seen five people indicted already. two aides to the campa

it is at the center of business for columbia school.sibly to manhattanville, just north of where columbia's basic campus. >> that is seven blocks north from where we are. liz: that is not that far. what does it do for the business school if anything? >> it is transformation for us. it doubles the space we have. enables us to have business practitioner opportunities, change the way we do research, i'm very excited about it. liz: at the center of business you can't argue with that. it is wonderful to have you. >> thank you. my pleasure. liz: have a lovely holiday. >> you too. liz: glenn hubbard, dean of columbia business school. david: we had two of the smartest guys in the field of economics this day. >>> a family-run company is sending a warm gift to our troops overseas. they have been doing it for years. we'll talk to the ceo of the tea cap and get their tack on the fast-growing tea business. liz: we take you "off the desk" with a company that is helping churches make sure their nativity figurines stay put and don't get stolen. how the

that means working on a lot of fronts in living and staying in the district of columbia. >> places that had become low income areas are shockingly rapidly becoming high income areas. where do those people employ and how do you convince them to stay in the city if it's in their interest to do so. >> a lot of household who is own their homes, they might have had a house for generations, and when the patriarch or matriarch dies, it turns over. it does not enable any one of those heirs to buy a house in the city. so that's part of what is happening. we do have a lot of new development of housing that's going on. a real boom in multi family, and a lot of that multi family going forward is going to be producing affordable units through our inclusionary zoning requirement. >> what is a healthy housing market for a mid size american city like washington, d.c. look like. >> even that definition is changing. we want a balance of supply and demand at every level of income. at 30% of median family income at 505%, at 80%, at 120% and higher. so producing housing that meets the market demand is an ob

and i was being told to go back to columbia. once you go back to the columbia back in 1999 it was hard to come back. so i was as a entrepreneur not being able to stay here but i feel he fell in love with the love of my life and we had a daughter a week ago. we accelerated our may this and i was able to stay. she ended up being the co co- founder of my business too. this has to do with inhabitation. we went into the largest bank of voice on demand. we we really had a crowd of thousands of people working from home. we enable thousands of americans to get hired we - so not no where your creating video games in russia you want nice voices for that. we have be able to push the american accent and it's enabling thousands of people to work for companies all over the planet. but again my life is attached to immigration show you. in columbus we're constantly instrumental. we kind of bring people to the u.s. it's hard to get visas. we were not lucky to get visas two of the 3 we petitioned for for the visas we didn't depreciate. i'm a big

what they're smoking is called bc bud grown right in british columbia. they call it the most potent marijuana they have seen with by far the highest level of thc the active ingredient in pot. >> the marijuana comes from mexico or thailand would run three to 4% thc content. >> and this is how much thc? >> 25%. pretty much rocket ship pot. now take a whiff. >> it's very strong. >> reporter: it's now becoming the favorite buddy of british columbia smugglers. smugglers are making millions of the dollars bringing it into the united states. the royal canadian mounted police says the price jumped the minute bc bud crosses the border. >> over here it's $2,000 u.s. border. if you want to walk 15 feet it raises to $15 u.s. a pound. >>> the price keeps climbing as the pot keeps moving south. much of it is ending up in major west coast cities including seattle. los angeles and san francisco where it carries a premium price. >> it's a high grade canadian marijuana will be in a price level per pound between five and $7,000. >> reporter: u.s. custom agents seized 1,500

had important interests in columbia. i think the covert aspect of the program began with the killing of an american by the f.a.r.c. of three others in 2003. then things took on momentum from there. just remember before 2003 the f.a.r.c. was designated bit the united states so that there wasn't an issue there. for quite some time before that, the heavy involvement of the f.a.r.c. militants in international drug trafficking was considered a national security threat by the united states and it was made clear as far back as the regan administration. >> the capital's development authority found that thousands of buildings are in breach of construction codes. hundreds needed to be demolished. the building collapse in dhaka - pure safety standards continue to put people's lives at risk. >> at first glance it looks like a market. a closer look reveals its nature. this man worked every day knowing the roof above his head could come crashing down at any moment. >> translation: it's scary, what can i do. we can't just give up the b

>> columbia and the u.s.this time it's very different from the past. columbia evolved thanks to what i consider the most successful bipartisan initiative launched. columbia is a strategic ally of the u.s. and we talked with president obama about a new cooperation. now it's not only drugs and how to combat violence and terrorism, but also how to work together helping other countries, central america and the caribbean islands. the problems we had in the past. we learned and now we are using knowledge to help them. we disagreed on one fundamental issue. >> this is by the way a very important fundamental issue to disagree with. i hear you say, mika, that everything is going so swimmingly well and yet this is the most penitentiary thing for the good people of columbia and many of us in america. what is that issue. >> i hope you two are in synch. >> that is who is going to win in the world cup. the u.s. team or the columbian team. i told president obama i hope we don't win in the first round. we have to, i'm sorry

they ought to articulate a vision for the district of columbia. that is what people want to hear. we have a vision. we had a vig. we articulated a vision. we worked at that vision and we will continue to work at that vision. others who would aspire to be in this job -- wait a minute, bruce. >> reporter: okay. >> those who aspire to be in this job, they ought to do exactly the same thing and that is where is the city going to go. because if they're successful, then they will be in the job. they an obligation to say this is where i want to take the city. >> reporter: can i ask if you're willing to go further than what you already said? >> i've said what i've said. i've said it repeatedly. and there's no end to that. i want to talk about the future of the district of columbia. >> reporter: you don't plan to say anything more about 2010? >> i think i've said a lot already. i don't -- >> reporter: if you haven't been around, that 2010 campaign, you know what it's about. a number of irregularities. 600 plus thousand dollars off the books campaign that was illegal. cash payments to anoth

capitalism and society at columbia university. he has lost at the sources of economic growth in the causes of unemployment. on announcing his nobel prize, the committee specifically said his task breaking work on economics between inflation and unemployment and on the well being of current versus future generations. he is also known for the threat of this approach to economics drawing as does in this book on important contributions from philosophy, literature and the arts. i must say that few other economists can comfortably cite aristotle and lady gaga in the same chapter. dr. phelps was born near chicago, grew up in suburban new york and later studied at amherst and yale. he's the recipient in addition to the nobel prize of many international awards and honorary degrees. please welcome our guest.

on october 31 of 2011 -- well, you know, the district of columbia knows better than that. and i can't imagine this. as much money as the taxpayers all over america pump into this city. and -- and the guys say they won't even -- their officers can't even inquire to see if somebody is illegally in the country. that's really a stretch. that's really unacceptable and we ought to cut off funds for cities that refuse to at least conduct minimal cooperation with federal law enforcement. october 31, the justice department filed a suit against south carolina to block their immigration law designed to help the federal government enforce immigration laws. they got plenty of time to sue states and other entities who want to help them enforce the laws. they've got plenty of time also to meet with amnesty groups, but not -- no time whatsoever to meet with these law officers and find out what their concerns are or to draft policies that would help us be more effective. on november 7, 2011, uscis issued a memo -- that's the citizenship and immigration service. they're the ones who deal wi

mark lamont hill, associate professor at columbia university. mark, i want to start with you. a&e is a business. let's face it. customers wanted robertson back. what were they supposed to do? >> they are a corporation and corporations typically don't move on their own individual sentiments nor do they move based on politics. they often move based on money. they want it maximize shareholder wealth and maximize with a show that has 14 million viewers and they did the financially correct thing to do. i think it was morally wrong. i think politically wrong. but i think they made a decision that most companies would make. when you say, what were they supposed to do, i think they were supposed to stand with the community. stand with the many lbgt supporters in their fan base and viewership base. that was supposed to cost them money. they shouldn't be driven by profit motives. >> they said things that offended a lot of americans.

i just arrived at a small town called meticia in columbia.rders of peru and brazil. >> this right now is the 16th country for wine to water. i already feel a special connection to the people here because everybody is riding a motorcycle. just a little minimetropolis in the middle of the amazon jungle. a lot of cities here are quite developed and they don't have a lot of the third world or developing style issues. however in a jungle, there is still quite a few communities that are lacking basic resources such clean drinking water. to me, one of my favorite things to do is to go into a new country for the very first time, to get on the ground, not really know what's going to happen, you know, that unknown newness is something i actually really look forward to. how are you? good to see you. >> you look a little bit different than you do on skype. >> you do too, you look skinnier. >> gonzalez the founder and director of a local column bb c organization. >> are you from here originally? >> well, i was born in a town in the amazon, but i moveded h

[laughter] there's not necessarily warm friendly relationship between the pure contains and them. but this is where we get back to native american history and where they become key. because the american -- were fearful at raising money, using the evangelist of native people as their goal. and so sending off missionary to england to britain under -- and raising money under the claim they were evangelizing
