how sync is grimm with the people on staten island.nd out i traveled across new york harbor in a big, orange boat. otherwise known as the staten island ferry to ask grimm's constituents what they have to say about him in their own words. >> i say the name michael grimm what do you think of him? >> hard-working politician that has been tainted by corruption. >> what do you think of michael grimm? >> i like michael. i think he's professional and well spoken and a good advocate for staten island. >> a lot of personal loyalty among michael grimm on staten island? >> a lot of loyalty to the party. even if they have doubts about him, you call it holding your noise. >> i'm a trial lawyer and the indictment doesn't mean a lot. >> people are assuming guilt and he hasn't had trial yet? >> yes, of course. interesting in staten island they're sticking by this guy. >> i mean, i'm happy. getting into places and getting in and out. not like brooklyn or the bronx. >> he's done some good things, but at the same time, i just, i'm basically, i feel there

and to me, i've never learned anything more from anybody else other than russ grimm.e was obviously a former player and hall of famer. but as a coach, it was -- it was just amazing to me how he enlightened you or opened you up. to see the bigger picture. he was, you know -- that way was phenomenal. plus he was a kid himself. so it was fun with that. but then you can attest to it too. that moron from michigan -- >> i'll talk about him in a second. a couple of guys who were -- another two guys that i -- jansen. let's not interrupt it. you guys automatically became pals. tell us about that relationship. it's not just big 10. a lot of common interests. >> absolutely, absolutely. it wasn't far. i mean, it was -- coming obviously from the big 10, if you was from ohio i never would have liked him. but michigan, and we beat michigan every time, i had a little bit of it going. it was easy because he was -- he was a good -- i wanted to say i was the fourth or fifth year, he was a rookie, and he came in and made an impact right away. i mean, heck of a football player. heck of a

the new pitcher for chicago is right-hander justin grimm.70th appearance of the season this afternoon and he'll get the bottom of the order. eight, nine and the top of the order for the dodgers in the eighth. >> john: two with some movement and 80 mile an hour curveball with 85 miles an hour. >> matt: butera sends a fly ball out on left center and coghlan yielding to alcantara. so an opportunity now for andre ethier. ethier making that transition this year from an everyday full-time player to somebody who has been put into picking up spots and they're not necessarily spots he would have picked and andre would prefer to be out there every day, but he does understand the glut of talent that's in the dodger outfield and has done his best to adapt to a platoon role. andre ethier is the last player still around from that 2008 cubs-dodgers division series matchup. >> two balls and no strikes, the count to ethier. >> john: because you have the scenario play out it certainly gives you more numbers than options even if it's ideal for every player. >>

grimm: i thank the gentlelady from new york and i echo the sentments of my colleagues with the need to re-authorize the zadroga bill in a timely fashion. i rise along side my colleagues and the new york delegation, also to honor and commemorate the nearly 3,000 innocent americans who -- whose lives were cut short in our nation 13 years ago. like so many of my constituents in staten island and in brooklyn, i have images of the most horrific site that i have ever seen burned into my memory forever. i will never forget what it was like searching for the survivors in the rubble after both towers of the world trade center went down into ash. i will never forget the look into the eyes of the firemen, the police, the construction workers, as we worked side by side. it was a look of overwhelming despair. and though, our hearts broke at the loss from those taken from us, i'm very proud of the fact that americans soon rallied together, were united around an unshakeable truth that the servants of hatred and terror did not strike the greatest nation on earth at random but because we embody the ver

the latest as nico rosberg and lewis hamilton go head to head in formula 1 michael grimm. -- formula grand prix. >>> first to libya, where the newly elected government is expected to be sworn in on sunday in tobruk. a rival government was sworn in leaving libya with two seats of power and more fragmented. >> reporter: he is one of libya's two leaders, sworn in in tripoli. he's the product of the germ national congress, the previous parliament that should have disbanded after jooup elections. the vote in the house of representatives reappointed former prime minister and asked him to form a government. they are based 1,000km away. >> the germ national congress left libya with two members. violence brought libya to a stand still, dividing the country. on the tripoli front, alhasy and his government seem to be religiously conservative. they call themselves the town of libya. in tobruk, the house of representatives are seen as moderate. he's been battling militias, and calls islamic radicals. the violence spilled over into the capital tripoli, where they fought for control of the airport,

. >> joining me now, the huffington post ryan grimm. good evening.t to get to your cia reporting in a second. but first, obviously the big news here with the senate vote. i have very mixed feelings on the one hand. we've seen the house and the senate dig into these issues and holding these votes which provide something to the american public on the way to an escalation in iraq. syria, on the other hand, they're giving themselves a huge vacation and they didn't get to the real question which is do you want to authorize a wider campaign beyond just this small piece about the rebels. >> if the question on the house or the senate floor would have been, do you believe that this strategy in syria has a chance of success, it would have overwhelmingly lost. you might have gotten two dozen yes votes over in the house of representatives and maybe four or five people in the senate, like mccain and a few others would say yes. everyone else across the board pretty much thinks that this is not going to work. but that wasn't the question on the floor. the question

grimm's bill and my own bill on how points and fees are treated under today and frank's rule. my legislation that is included in this package is a provision that modifies and clarifies the way points and fees in a real estate transaction is calculated. and without overturning the important consumer protections and sound underwriting requirements that dodd-frank's provisions have in place. ownership has been the pillar for american life for home ownership and this particular provision will help more americans realize this portion of the american dream. this bill is a commonsense measure should and does have broad bipartisan support. i was puzzled by a dear colleague letter produced by congresswoman wars. he wrote that congressman barr would have divisive legislation. what are you referring to? is it the c.l.o. bill which passed the bill on house vote or the end user vote that passed the house vote and only a dozen ney vote or my bill? i don't see the divisiveness and i don't see where the problem is. the americans continue care about the parliamentary process. we are pleased th
