ronald reagan and equal time loss, that is the quanzhou the country is in right now. i seem to be the only one who really seems to realize that. there has to be a rule and regulation on the freedom of the press to stop people being brainwashed in washington. democrats are brainwashed and republicans are brainwashed. that is what i want to say. thank you. guest: there's actually no reason to believe that. look at how dave beat eric cantor in that race. first time and house majority leader ever lost in american history. he did it by not saying he would be more conservative or give more advantages and tax cuts to the corporations, but by doing the reverse. he ran a really populist campaign. it is popular by definition. elizabeth warren is incredibly smart and can run it in a balanced way. to your point about other kinds of balance, were both sides have equal say, i prefer to get money out of politics and get public financing of elections. if you have that, we sign their checks and they work for us. that way, and even playing field. let's have a real battle of ideas and n

the p equals theey times what is known as the multiple or m. e times m equals p.or m what we're going to pay for the earnings fee. what is the multiple we're going to pay. the priced turning multiple is the key. and the most important determination of that price churning mobile, the vital ingredient that has the most effect on the valuation special sauce is the company's growth rate, which is why i'm constantly talking about growth of sales and earnings. a bigger price for businesses with faster growth because that growth means the earnings will get larger and larger in the years ahead. often you will hear them say this stock is echeap and what they mean is that it is cheaper than the average stock in the s&p 500. the benchmark for all stocks. and yet it grows faster than the average stock or somehow more special than the average stock because of a catalyst that is about to occur. it's cheap versus the s&p. we use the p/e ratio when we think about a stock being a bargain in "mad money." high octane secular grower that doesn't need the economy to get strong. the st

equal pay day is a symbol of ha far we need to go for equal pay. full time employed women on average earn 78 cents for every dollar men ern. that figure is slightly better in san francisco. i have seen it where it was 81 or 87 cents, but it is till not 100. for women of color the gap is bigger. whether folks have a college education and work in a white or blue caller job, or have childrens women are paid less than men. studies show with personal choizing and experiences are accounted for across industries and at every level the wage gap still persists. when women are undervalued and underpaid they have a harder time making ends meet carrying for the families and sabeing for retirement. the gap hurts women and families and our economy as a whole. this resolution will declare today equal pay day in san francisco and encourage further action to close the gender pay gap. this isn't a problem somewhere else, it isn't something we can pat ourselves on the back and say san francisco solved it already because right here in our own city we still have a discrepsancy a

we should debate and vote on the paycheck fairness act to ensure that women get paid for equal work. a full-time working woman still earns significantly less than what a man earns for comparable work. it turns out that women earn nearly 25 cents less than a man for doing the same work. achieving equal pay for women should be the top of our priority lists, but unfortunately this republican majority has denied us a vote on this critical rich ue. today instead we will consider two pieces of legislation undera closed process to roll back important dodd-frank consumer protections. h.r. 650, the preserving access to manufactured housing act, strips from manufactured homeowners critical protections enacted by congress as part of the dodd-frank financial reform law. manufactured homes are an important affordable housing option for many low and moderate-income families, especially families living in rural areas. it is critical that these homeowners are able to have access to the same consumer protections -- same consumer protections afforded to consumers with traditional mortgages. h.r. 685 the mortgage

>> yes cars equal traffic times two. here is a look at 101 southbound side of highway 101 up to 580 with traffic still moving and the tail lights are not too bad, northbound traffic still looking clear, as you make it across the golden gate bridge with a few extra cars and i don't know and i would say they are builting. pretty cloudy conditions. >> thank you, leyla. >> we are following breaking us in berkeley where several blocks are closed off after a shooting that sent two people to the hospital. people in the apartment complex are dealing with bullet holes in their bed troops and our reporter is there with the details. >>> police say this might have been a shootout at shattuck. look at all of the bullets marked by evidence markers here. they think the victims may also have been firing. there is a lot evidence to process and they have been here since 1:45 in the morning. two men were shot. they were inside this car. officers say it appears they are going to survive. they were taken to the hospital. bullets hit the gas

it is time for equal pay for equal work. it would also allow punitive damages for women who have been discriminated against when the only deterrent against pay discrimination is the threat of paying women back pay. discrimination can be factored into the cost of doing business. mr. president, yesterday was equal pay day something we, unfortunately, commemorate each year. it symbolizes that it takes 104 days longer in a -- than it does for a man to make -- for a woman to earn what a man earned the previous year. what does that mean? it means that for a man and what he earns in 365 days, it takes a woman 469 days to earn the same amount of money, 104 days more. we don't commemorate this day with joy but with a call to action. we need to make a change in the federal law books to finally get equal pay in the federal chefs. we want this in the budget act because we know this will be an important way of dealing with a variety of issues. we worked on this legislation for a number of years and quite frankly, we're frustrated. we're

is it principally of timing passed at heightened interest in equality for gays? >> i think it's timing tyler. i think it's how the messaging came out of indiana. i think if they had to do it all over again they would have done it differently. i don't think they want to be near discriminatio but that's not what came out clearly also we live in a time of amplification and social media. that's a reality. i think what happened is it took on a life of its own and my guess is that it will be reviewed and scrutinized in the other states now. >> you know, the other aspect of this jim, and i'd be interested in your thoughts on this, if you're a privately held company, perhaps you don't have to engage in this type of discussion but if you're a publicly held company with published culture and, you know, rules about is done within your company, it behooves you to engage does it not? >> absolutely sue. but actually i think whether you're private or you're public you know you have a reputation with your employees first. every ceo i talk to private, public their number one conce

can i have equal time? >> moderator: this is a follow-up on what you just said. nce upon a time the short-term borrowing cap was $200 million. you've increased it to $1 billion. how come? emanuel: because i've rejected two false choices on day one four yearsing ago. now, these problems we inherited. first, everybody recommended indiscriminate cuts across the board, and they affect different communities across chicago which is the wrong thing to do. second, other people recommended just raise taxes like the biggest increases in property taxes. i rejected both those choices. i went i through the budget line by line, reforming it, balancing it ending the gimmicks, no property tax increase, and the worst thing to do so actually go like other politicians have done. chuy has over a billion dollars of pledges before the campaign, and then he's going the to tell you i'm going to appoint a commission, i can't tell you who the names are, and i won't tell you what's acceptable or what's not acceptable -- >> moderator: hold on he did give some names. garcia: he just got five

i believe that if there is a country that truly believes in equality, it's time to put our money where our mouths are literally, and express that sense of justice on the most widely used currency in international transaction. last week i introduced the put a woman on the 20 act to build on the grassroots campaign working to bring gender equality to our currency. their public campaign has garnered more than half a million votes in support of putting a woman on a 20 dollar bill. i love the idea and was brought to me by a smart young woman on my staff, kay johnson. it's not just a woman's issue, it's an american issue. my bill directs the secretary of a the treasure to solicit recommendations from the public for a woman to be placed on the 20 dollar bill. women have inspired generations of americans for their courage by challenging this nation to protect the civil rights of all americans. women have advocated for voting rights and equal protection under the law and for programs that serve the most vulnerable members of our communities. women let us out -- led us out of slavery on the unde

in fact, i understand governor romney wasn't so upset that he asked his staff if you could get equal time] president obama: still, i guess governor romney is feeling good about things. he took a few hours off to see the"the hunger games." it is about people who court will be sponsors and then brutally savaged each other until only one content that is left standing. [laughter] president obama: i ensure this was a really great change of pace for him. [laughter] president obama: i have not seen "the hunger games." not enough class warfare for me. [laughter] president obama: of course, everybody is predicting a nasty election. we have all agreed that families are off-limits. dogs however, are apparently fair game. [laughter] president obama: while both campaigns have had fun with this. the other day i saw a new ad from one of these outside groups that frankly, i think crossed the line. i know governor says he has no control over what his super pacs do, but can we show the ad? >> back in 1983, you took your dog seamus tied to the roof your car. romney: he liked it a lot better in his kennel th

this is a delay that equals more time spent in waiting to confirm her than the last seven attorney-generalsbined. waiting 166 days by my count to be confirmed. it goes back to the regan administration. we have not had to wait for a confirmation this long since then. so i think they have created a situation that didn't have to be bad. i think she'll go in and try to create a good relationship with members on the hill both parties. that's a key thing for any attorney-general to do. they laid pore ground work for the relationship. >> she has the experience of having been u.s. attorney twice. >> yes, she's been confirmed twice before. and twice before by republicans and democrats. >> yes. >> when is the last time we had a u.s. attorney that had been an attorney. >> never, she is qualified, and republicans that say they will not vote for her is not challenging informations. the concern is whether shell support president obama on policies that republicans disagree are. principally the immigration issue, and whether he should use any authority on matters they feel is congressional. no one challeng

with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each and with the time equally dividedin the usual form. mr. reid: i would note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. reid: i would consent the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: mr. president, i would note the absence of a quorum and i ask unanimous consent that the time be charged equally between the majority and minority. the presiding officer: without objection. quorum call: quorum call:

i at this point would like to ask unanimous consent that the time until 6:10 today be equally divided in the usual form and that following the use or yielding back of that time the senate vote on the following amendment: johnson number 1150. further that there be no second-degree amendments in order to the amendment and that it require 60 -- a 60 affirmative vote threshold for the adoption of the amendment. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection so ordered. mr. corker: if i could just follow up, mr. president i've been in extensive conversations with former secretary of state condoleezza rice who i know has tremendous respect on this side of the aisle. she sent out a release today in response in response to this amendment that's coming before us today that the proposed iranian nuclear agreement is classically an executive agreement and doesn't need to be a treaty with the advice and consent of the senate. this is our former secretary of state under george w. bush. but congress should be able to opine given the congressionally mandated sanctions would have to be l

equality. the supreme court heard oral arguments in a case that could resolve one of the greatest civil rights issues of our time. they are considering two questions. whether the constitution requires states to license same-sex marriages and whether they must recognize those performed in other states. the issue is arise from consolidated lawsuits. joining me to talk about this is adam liptak of the new york times. and in the studio, david boies. he successfully argued against california pot same-sex marriage ban. set the stage. you saw the advocates make their case. tell me about it. adam: the room was absolutely packed. full of same-sex couples. gay-rights leaders. i think they left feeling pretty good but not as good as they might have. the questioning was more mixed than they might have liked. justice kennedy asked questions suggesting may be the court was moving too fast. maybe it should hesitate to change the definition of marriage, which he says we have had for millennia. in the second half of the argument, he made strong point of the dignity of gay families. the importance to children that their same-sex

hillary clinton whose family problems with following the law is legendary, it would be nice to see equal timeose foundation is raising money from the countries that were lobbying her while she was secretary of state. she's in a historic position of having been the first administration official to set up her own e-mail server. so it would be just great to have a little bit more balance here. >> yeah. >> molly hemmingway thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. happy easter. >>> a mother facing charges for the gun she legally owned is now in the clear but could her pardon help another man whose life was turned upside down by strict gun regulations? the aspiring cop joins us live next. >>> you think single guys have it all? it turns out the money is in the marriage. why tieing the knot can help guys bring home a lot more bacon. next. i'm louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. quitting smoking is a challenge and it's a lot easier to go into a fight when you've got somebody that's got your back. having chantix as a partner made it more successful. along with support, chantix (varenicline) i

>> rose: solicitor general don varili said in the "new york times" a decision based on equal protection would have more practical muscle in other areas of the law but a symbolic blow to gay rights for the court to stop short of saying directly that gay couples have a right to marry. >> i think he's saying if you have an equal protection argument, what he's saying is you have to treat people equally regardless of sexual orientation, and if that has impact outside of the marriage equality issue. on the other hand, one of the things -- one of the reasons i think we're all interested in seeing a due process rationale as well is that that demonstrates that the state cannot deprive people based on sexual orientation of these important fundamental rights. remember that loving against virginia in 1967 when the supreme court destroyed the ban invalidated the bans in interracial marriage was a cite on both grounds, due process and equal protection. >> rose: the solicitor general dferred from some of the arguments made by the plaintiffs' attorneys in seriously of the arguments he was making. >> he

that the middle class of this country is disappearing and we have more wealth and income and equality than any timece the great depression. and my sense is that what we need is a strong mass grassroots movement in this country to stand up to the billionaire class to create the millions of jobs we need to demand the corporate america and the wealthy stop paying their fair share of taxes that the republicans finally recognize that climate change is real and that we have to address it and that we create a government that works for all the people and not just a handful of billionaires. >> but respectfully the story of the week is the "new york times" coverage about the clinton foundation secretary clinton, uranium, the russians and the fact that the russian government now controls one-fifth of the american uranium spry. surely you have a ereaction of that? >> it is a real concern. the fact that the clintons have raised all kinds of money from people all over the world is something worth looking at. but, you know michael, to me it is not the story of the week or what the story of next week will be. the

times. it would be nice to see them go the full way in support of equality and say it's time to support a nationwideinvitation to some republicans and also invited hillary clinton to your wedding and you were in her video. any response? >> well we -- we've heard that secretary clinton is very excited to meet us and we are as well her. but no formal word on whether she can make the wedding but i understand she's pretty busy but also extended a plus one. >> maybe you'll get a nice little gift. make sure you tell her where you're registered. thanks so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> thanks so much. >> reminder that thomas will be broadcasting live from the united states supreme court as it takes up the issue of marriage equality tomorrow. make sure you stick around for that coverage 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern time right here. now to other stories that caught our eye, a massive fire shut down a highway near los angeles, heavy flames and thick smoke engulfed this truck, hauling 8500 gallons of gas when it jack knife and burst into flames. the driver escaped with minor injuries and california high

experts say time with family or even just doing nothing is equally important. >> having some time to chill out as a family and watch a movie play some games let them just do nothing sometimes or time to just be creative, time to be outside exploring. >> reporter: the doctor says instead of trying everything kids should pick an activity they really like. they'll be more likely to stay motivated and involved rather than just going through the motions. >>> studies have also shown giving kids more unstructured or free time helps them develop more broad life skills such as planning problem solving and decision making. monica, back over to you. >> all right. thank you ali. >>> palmyra police start add new safety campaign today to get drivers to slow down. signs like these saying drive slowly we love our children are now being put up in yards around town. officers say drivers tend to drive too fast when the weather gets warmer putting everybody in danger and they hope a gentle reminder like these will save lives and keep drivers out of trouble. >> and still ahead on "action news" tonight a

and we legislated so that all love, gay or straight, is valued equally. this time obvious once again that neither labor nor the conservatives will win a majority. it is over. i'm not denying that either david cameron or ed miliband will be prime minister. but you know and they know that neither of them will win outright. neither of them will have a majority in the next parliament. so what really matters is who they will have with them to decide what the next government will do. someone is going to hold the balance of power on the eighth of may, and it won't be david cameron or ed miliband, but it could be nigel forage. it could be alex or it could be me and the liberal democrats. so ask yourself this. do you want nigel walking through the door of number 10? do you want alex sat at the cabinet table, or do you want the liberal democrats? the liberal democrats will add a heart to a conservative government and a brain to a later one. we won't -- we won't allow the conservatives to cut too much and jeopardize our schools and hospitals, and we won't allow labor to borro
