we're tubing with congress woman eleanor holmes norton. congresswoman, your first bill right out of the gate was the new columbia district act to make the district a 51st act. you got a record number of co-sponsors. you started the new year with this new congress with that bill. >> right in their face, knowing the republican house and senate would not pass my statehood bill. we have marvelous momentum. the first official senate statehood hearing last congress. you don't let that lie on the floor. >> in september. >> yes, we did, just before that congress ended. how do you build on that momentum? we got the largest number of co-sponsors ever for that bill. what makes this bill distinctive is this is the largest number of original co-sponsors. there's people willing to sign on to the same time i signed on there were 90 of them. that means there's enthusiasm in the house for the new columbia statehood act, for us to build on so we can build a larger movement in the nationwide because our fate now lies not in the house or the senate, but with

now, we should note that eleanor is the mother of a jerry joy employee.s device and the service costs start around $250 a month and the company says the caregivers undergo training and are monitored. >> interesting concept. >> someone there watching a real person. >> these folks are in the philippines and certainly i think we should know that minimum wage there is much lower than here but somebody watching out for your parents when you can't be there. >> huge. >> thank you. >>> we'll be right b >>> we are getting reports of shaking in daly city a small 2.7 earthquake. way to start the weekend. >> wake you up. >> microquake centered six whilst northwest of daly city. anything under a 3 a small jolt and no damage expected. what is expected a very, very warm weekend. look at the seven-day forecast: >> the streaks warm weather highs in the 70s. and then look at next friday. i know it's seven days away but it's there. there is a pattern change with rain coming and it will be here this time next week. enjoy the weekend. we have rain coming. >> thank you for wat

. >> eleanor. >> well, the other side of that is that tens of thousands of people took to the streets of paris and said jui suis charley, jui suis ahmed because one of the people they killed was a muslim. i think we are looking at a noxious stew, particularly in europe where this anti-immigrant sense is really strong plus anti-semitism is on the rise. you have the national front party which in the past has been one step removed from a white french supreme sift group is now moving into the mainstream and i think marie lepen is trying to bring that party into the mainstream and if the election were held today, that party would win. this is transforming politics in europe. the implication here, we've been waiting more than a dozen years for al-qaeda style mass events to take place. i think this shows how easy it is to stage much smaller events and the militaristic events of these young men showing training in yemen, training in syria has met tas stiezd and corrupted the minds of young men. >> one of the attackers appears to have been trained in yemen, what does that mean. >> al-qaeda has

and eleanor's point is well taken. there is now a rivalry between isis and al qaeda. now al qaeda has carried off or claims to have carried off the major terrorist incident since 9/11. the two are going to be competing for attention in the islamic world and for who can kill more in a more dramatic way. >> and it's personal. zarqawi, are bin ladenance successor, is now in a very personal political fight with the leader of isis, who has pre-- -- proclaimed himself the emir of the believers. they're -- they're fighting for supreme singletary >> let me go back to france for a second. that was an extraordinary statement on the part of the people of that country that freedom of speech and the press was important the i mean this wasn't the most important magazine in the country. the fact that huge numbers, two million people showed up in paris, another million in the countryside, to recognize it. >> instead they arrested -- the next day they arrested 54 people for hate speech. >> that is an issue. >> they arrested this comedian who is famous over there for hate speesm after

and he ran into trouble when he started having an affair with eleanor roosevelt's personal assistant, lucy mercer. and he was unwell. he was in europe visiting some naval establishments. the trunks were sent home. eleanor, being dutiful wife unpacked hem and there were the -- them and there were the love letters wrapped up. and that led to a confrontation between eleanor and franklin where they worked out a deal and that was to say if you really want to go as far as you can go in politics, you will need to have an unblemished private life. i could halt your career in a moment's notice if we get a divorce, so let's work it out in this way. you carry on, you never see lucy mercer again, and you allow me to live an independent life, and i will express my own views. and what's more when you become in a position of power you will take notice of them and you will try to put them into action. they seal this deal with a trip back across the atlantic in 1918. the treaty of versailles was being negotiated in paris and woodrow wilson was presiding over it. on the way out, franklin roosevelt's gr

one of the key evolutions to getting to this point was in 1941, first lady eleanor roosevelt, at the urgings of her close friend and social activist mary beth noon, moved to help expand the training program at tuskegee, alabama. in march of the year, eleanor roosevelt not only visited the tuskegee institute, but incredibly, and in against the advice of her secret service detail, she asked to meet with a flight instructor charles anderson, and to take her on a flight. this single act of flying the first lady for more than one hour had great symbolic value to the advocates of black military aviation. this visibility helped to open the door for the department of black military aviation units to the european theater. unfortunately, they were still in segregated units. in total, there were 2483 pilot trainees then enter training in teske, alabama, of which 992 graduated, earning their wings as pilots. from 1942 through 1949 -- use me, 1946. there there were 352 pilots that deployed to europe. they flew the p 47 and the p-51 mustang. at chinook illinois the , enlisted personnel were record

i think what eleanor said is correct. greeks have said we've had it and we're not going with austerity and we're going to start to spend and if angela merkel will come down on us with both feet, we're departing. and i think the greeks have backing in -- i think they have it in spain and france and italy, john. and i'll tell you if the germans don't accommodate the greeks to some degree, this guy has to walk out of the euro zone and i think angela merkel ought to worry whether that pulls the string on the whole thing. >> i don't think he wants to walk. the drakma is a worthless currency. but the flaw in the euro zone is it a country can't control its currency, you really are at the mercy of the central bankers. and so i think, you know, they're -- there's a showdown that's happening and the greek people are in the streets and they have really suffered. it's not like they're buying second homes. >> they don't belong in the zone with germans and fins, the greeks or italians or spanish don't belong there. that's not an ethnic
