jared kushner, owner of the group. commercial observer went on sale this week and covers new york city real estate market. mr. contrarian, real estate and newspaper rolled into one, why? >> it's a good time to try and innovate. we've looked at a lot of things. my main business is real estate and i own a newspaper and other sites and online media businesses. at the end of the day we're looking at different niches where we can try to create good markets. i think now in the real estate market especially there's such a need and demand for information. it's not so easy to lease space anymore.

i think that was the message the president was sending today. >> all right, jared bernstein, thank you so much for joining us today. >> my apologies to jarred, i think i may have referred to him as charlie there we all know his name is jared. my apologize. >>> the mix of today's focus on wall street, the administration's efforts on health care reform continue to intensify behind-the-scenes on capitol hill and also perhaps in public. the president will address the afl-cio convention in pittsburgh tomorrow and then on thursday, he will be holding a rally at the university of maryland and college park. mean time, the so-called gang of six, crucial bipartisan panel in the senate that has yet to draft a bill, they are meeting every day to try to find some common ground. senator max baucus can, the democratic chairman of the finance committee, believes republicans will wind up supporting the legislation. >> i think basically as senators, the committee and the public gets to know more about this, their comfort level is starting to come up a bit and it's -- and i -- i believe that strongly and
