to be joined here by my colleagues, senator amy klobuchar, senator marco rubio, and senator chris coonswithout whom this bill would not have materialized. all four of us have worked very closely together and each one deserves total credit for this bill. together, we have crafted one of the first bipartisan immigration bills this congress. one that is designed to address the shortage of high skilled labor that we face in this country. this shortage has reached a crisis level. for too long our country has been unable to meet the ever-increasing demand for workers trained in the science, technology, engineering and math, or stem fields. as a result some of our nation's top technology markets like silicon valley, seattle, boston, new york and salt lake city are in desperate need for qualified skin workers. it is critical that we not only recognize this shortage of high skilled workers, but also understand why it exists. increasingly enrollment in u.s. universities in the s.t.e.m. fields come from foreign students and despite our urgent need for workers in these fields, we continue to send t

the findings' monumental find findings for the rise and fall of lead con supplies consumption coon included explained 90% of the variation of violent crime in america toddlers who ingested high levels of lead in the 1940s and 50s were really more likely to become violent criminal analysiss in the 60s 70ers, and 80s. kevin joins us with more. thank you for joining us. >> thank you john. >> john: it seems so inconceivable that lead could cause all this trouble and then you look at the numbers. are you convinced that the various of violent crime in america is due to lead exposure? >> well, a couple of things. the 90% number is a highest mate. i would say somewhere between 50% and 90%. the research is not showing that lead is responsible for all crime. it's responsible for the bulge in crime in the 60s 70s and 80s and then went away. you could get rid of all the lead on the planet and you would still have some crime, but you wouldn't have the huge spike that we saw in the 60s and 70s. >> john: what was it when you first studied this report that you found so compelling? what pushed you over the

and chris coons in delaware. and bennett in colorado. this is a formula.his is a familiar scenario for a reason. and it is still going on right now in 2013 in the republican party. the last republican presidential nominee did not come to the presidential inauguration this week. mitt romney is the first losing presidential candidate since michael dukakis in 1989 to not go to the inaugural. he did go to the trouble of leaking to the press that he probably wouldn't even watch the inauguration on tv, which is classy. but mr. romney did actually go to washington today to attend a luncheon in his own honor at the washington marriott hotel. there is a certain awkwardness to this trip, right? to come to d.c. not for the inauguration, but for something honoring yourself. that perceived ungraciousness, though, is not just a one-way street there is a certain amount of ungraciousness that honestly is being shown to mr. romney right now by his own party. the republican party this week has been making a big show of publicly deromneyifying themselves, cleansing themselve
