right now we open up the floodgates and if the buses are crowded now, can you imagine if by tomorrow we said it's free? so i support what you're saying. i understand what you're saying but from an operational standpoint, nobody has convinced me that, you know, the money that we have is going to cover all the runs we've got to make and if we can't make it, do we put more drivers back on overtime to try to make the runs? that's what i'm not convinced on, that we have that feasibility to do that. i agree with everything you're saying. and i wish i could totally support it 100% but there's this one little voice that says operation, what's going to happen to the rest of the riding public? i'm willing to say -- to still add a second clause that says ok, we'll run the test and if we can identify where we need to strengthen and can we do it, then we do the free youth for muni as the next phase. i'm recommending like a two-stage phase. >> thank you, director lee. i just have a couple thoughts. again, thank you all so much. your passion really is amazing and this was an amazing program and an

last week the separate and supreme court rest versed a century of law that i believe the open the floodgates for special interests. >> a was two years ago in his state of the union address. president obama scolded the supreme court, sitting directly in front of him, tawes because it ruled on how much money u.s. corporations and labor unions can spend on political advertising. the ruling is called citizens united. it says that the amount of money spent on political advertising is unlimited, if the money goes only indirectly to support the candidate. so now we have super-pac. super-political action committee. here's what super-pacs with which were to a campaign. one, prodigious money, unlimited funds can be raised and spent by a super-pac. two, candidate uninvolved a firewall must separate the super-pac and the candidate, namely, how much money, when and where super-pac funds are spent, is not under the candidate's control. mr. obama has stated above severely criticized the high court in a public forum, many said the condemnation was a flagrant insult to the court. and uttered in a totally uns

action against people who illegally download download copyrighted material so does this open up the floodgates to stolen movies and music and if so could it mean the end of hollywood as we know it will explore and stealing music might not be considered such a big deal but it's a whole other ballgame when it comes to stealing information which is why the u.s. government is once again trying to unravel the world wide web with yet another set of bills clamping down on internet freedoms we'll tell you all about actor two point zero. plus while the debate rage rages on over racial inequality in the u.s. and questions loom over the legality of vigilante justice volunteers in arizona are forming a so-called special missions unit that will legally be allowed to patrol the border so are we destined to see more tragic cases of americans taking the law into their own hands or question more and those are just a few of the stories we have in store for you next week along with much more news and in-depth interviews so you can keep it tuned right here on our t.v. and that's going to do it for us for now but

every single time the country crosses the nuclear threshold and opens the club, people presume the floodgates will be open to this happening in thirty region and around the world and it hasn't happened yet. does that mean it will definitively not happen if iran does it? no. but we have to factor in that historically the odds are pretty low. i think the country most inclined in terms of motivation, saudi arabia, because they are an international competitor, a regional competitor for implements and dominance with the iranians. they see the iranians as a threat. i think they would be the most motivated. even though saudi arabia is extraordinarily rich, they can't develop an indigenous infrastructure very quickly. it would take them decades to do it. the possibility that people talk about is do they have a secret deal with the pakistanis to just acquire one. i think the prospect of pakistan being willing to provide one of these things and being the first country to transfer live nuclear weapons to some other state in the aftermath of the fiasco which embarrassed the pakistanis in terms of transfe

citizens united opened the floodgates in a way that has been horrific, and let's hope we can put a damf the flow of money-- >> eliot, i would add to that what people don't appreciate what citizens united means is above and beyond everything else in the power of money, when members of the senate and the house go to vote on an issue they're going to be thinking twice about whether or not they want to stand up to wall street or the coal companies or the oil companies. when they go home on the weekend there will an flood of 30-second tv ads without disclosure. it's a huge issue. >> talking about reform effort, one that seems to be working the vote that came in that said to citibank you're paying your ceo too much. dodd frank seems to be working a little bit. >> eliot, what this is about everybody knows what the middle class shrinking, poverty increasing, and people on top doing phenomenally well. their effective tax rates have gone down, which is one of the reasons why we have the deficit crisis. what people are saying, look especially on wall street when these are the guys who, through th

. >> last week the supreme court reverse add century of law that i believe will open the floodgates fornterests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our election. >> you know -- >> he's a repeat offender. >> yeah. why do you think the president has doubled down on this? why do you think the president would do this? what do you think is, you know, he's out there attacking anybody and everything because his policies have failed, now attacking paul ryan. he did not attack in the senate that has not done their constitutional duty and voted on a budget in a thousand days and passed one. >> yeah. clearly he's not trying to intimidate the supreme court. that's the conventional interpretation of this. you know, from what we understand they already had these deliberations. >> they have already decided. >> so what is this about? eats about pandering to the left wing flank and trying to make obama look like he isn't, a strong, competent president in charge of himself, his administration and the country. let me just say something about this word unprecedented because it's one

that has pushed eastward, kind of just opened the door, the floodgates, if you will, for the warmth. we geesht this jetstream. it is vigorous and moving and going to get into this warm sector of air. upper-level low, firing off. so the biggest threats today. if you're watching us from in of these cities or know someone in these cities, the key, maybe we won't see this today. rain wrapped. all incredibly scary. have a plan of attack. des moines, wichita, k.c., oklahoma city, and abilene. if you notice the geography, we're talking a thousand miles. green bay to texas, including chicago, st. louis, little rock. big hubs if you're flying or driving. certainly a lot of the country impacted tomorrow and tonight. again, randi, the latest. that's the severest rain weather threat. isolated tornadoes this afternoon, three, four, five, certainly not out of the question. >> that's a big area. thank you very much. >>> still to come this morning, just how well do you know your dictators? >> who is that? a prophet? >> a prophet? >> yeah. >> maybe to some. >>> pete dominick hits the streets in new y

we had this area of high pressure blocking it, and then pushing it, allowing the floodgates to open, no pun intend intended. what we've got is this robust jetstream moving in to the sector. i know it sounds technical. but these are the things to make it happen. upper levels of the atmosphere bringing in cold air aloft. with that, right p.s., what you need to know. des moines, kansas city, oklahoma city, abilene, kos, and a slight risk in abilene, texas. this is today. the balance looks like this will develop between 4:00 and 8:00. once the sun sets that's when it could really fire all. green bay, wisconsin, all the way to houston, texas. so we're talking about 5 million people, a thousand miles of turf impacted. >> wow. that is a huge area. we'll keep an eye on that, lexa. thank you very much for that update. >>> allegations of sex, lies, and fears of blackmail rocking the secret service. a dozen agents entrusted with protecting president obama during a week in colombia have been relieved of duty and send home packing. the journalist who spoke with me earlier told me what he knows. >

people and have the same rights and political speeches as individuals, and it's really opened up the floodgatesbe changed either with a 5-4 reversal in the supreme court, and that's the long, tough law. this has a detrimental impact on the debates. american crossroads has $200 million ready to attack president obama, and they're going to blame him for not flipping that switch that they pretend is in the white house that the president can just flip in order to lower gas prices, which obviously, is kind of crazy. but this is $200 million that they are going to spend, supposedly, the super pacs have no connection to the candidates. but ed gillespie, of course, is now going to be leading the charge here at american crossroads on this attack against obama, and he's been a major adviser for mr. romney. so, you know, americans, i suppose, if we want, we can choose the option of being naive about the connection, but that's not a requirement, and it's pretty clear that super-pacs in the main campaign are hand in glove. >> i wish we had more time, but thank you for joining us, sir. and we'll be right bac
