jonathan tisch was instrumental in getting it built.s the only stadium that houses two nfl teams -- giants and the jets. it's also the largest in terms of seating capacity. all of those seats came with a hefty price tag. >> this is an amazing building. it cost $1.6 billion to build. people say to us -- why is there no roof on it? that would have been another $400 million. it is important to note that there has been not a dime of public money in this building. it is all privately financed. it was quite a remarkable accomplishment. >> the stadium will be in the spotlight in early february when it plays host to the most-watched sporting event in the world -- the super bowl. >> super bowl is a great opportunity for this region, for new york and new jersey. this is a super bowl of a lot of firsts. this is the first time it is being hosted by two teams, the jets and the giants. the first time it is being hosted by two states and one big city. the first time the game is being played in a northern city in a building without a roof. >> bringing

i really want to congratulate jonathan. he has been an absolute pleasure to work with, an amazing collaborater, always someone who has many ways to solve a problem. and my colleagues have really said already what a big hole we'll have to fill without him. we've all relied on him. i have to make a public admission while he's here and his family is here. twice jonathan and i talked about numbers and analysis and sort of the bottom line of an equation, [speaker not understood]. and he very quickly put a number on the board and left. okay, i'm going to validate that number. it took me about two hours with the spreadsheet and it was the same number. it happened to me twice. [laughter] >>> he's very smart. i'll miss you. >>> good afternoon, jack [speaker not understood] with the san francisco giants. on behalf of the giants family, i want to congratulate you on your new position and also assure monique that jonathan was a zealous advocate of the port's interest at all times.

jonathan will stay with us to watch all of this. but now let's just take a pause and bring you some of the day's other news. we will, of course, continue to monitor that for you. >>> but now focusing on germany, because protests there against immigration and the influence of islam have attracted their largest crowds so far. 18,000 people attended an anti-islamization rally in the eastern city of dresden but thousands more have taken part in counterdemonstrations in other german cities. the lights in the cathedral in cologne were turned off. our correspondent jenny hill reports from dresden. >> reporter: we are the people they shout. and their voice is getting louder. germany for germans, he says. no mosques in germany. no mosques in dresden. >> you won't see, you won't hear a german word. and it's not a good situation. if you have four daughters, four blonde, long-haired daughters. >> reporter: immigration is at a 20-year high in this country. the group behind this demonstration claims to be anti-islamist. it's called pagita and it'

look back at my work. >> let me go over to the other jonathan, jonathan darman.e's not being tony blair. he's being what we always call grown up, i call it liberal. a guy who believes in the positive role of government to move people at the lower end of the food chain, if you will, and saying this is the way i think, this is what i think everyone should be doing. >> yeah. i was really struck listening and watching the speech last night about how overtly he was saying, this is how i want my historical narrative to be shaped. the first line was my fellow americans, we are in the 15th century. there was a grand, historical sweep and every issue that he talked about, he framed in this idea of transformation. the country, when he took hold of it, was on the brink of economic collapse. it's now heading into an economic boom. energy -- we had this dependence on foreign oil. now we have this huge energy book in this country. an issue like same-sex marriage talked about it as not long ago was a wedge issued to divide people and now it's the law of the land in the majority

john. >> jonathan thank you. chris emdon associate professor professor, creating hip hop ed movement creating music in the classroom. how did it get to this point? >> i think it's a larger belief that education is for the majority. and for a very long time we always felt that the majority were folks who were middle class who were doing well or upwardly mobile. focusing on that population and not the minority population, socioeconomically, racially, economically blown up in our faces today. >> so a lot more white kids are going to private school? >> definitely so, a lot more affluent kids are going to private schools. makes people feel that public schools are awful. any parent hears this general conversation about how public schools are so bad takes every opportunity to send their kids elsewhere. the schools in the united states are more segregated than they were in the 1950s. every parent who has the opportunity removes their child from public schools. this dysfunction this report that came out today tells us tha

wayne rogers jonathan, michelle field and juan williams. >> a colossal contradiction on capitol hill. take a look at this split scream. president obama refuse to go meet with the leader of israel when he comes here next month, but his state department did have time to meet with sympathizers of the muslim brotherhood. listen. >> members of muslim brothers were in town and two days ago they had meetings in this building. >> well, state department officials recently met with a jup of visiting egyptian former parliament arians whose visit was org miced and funded by georgetown university. such meetings are fairly routine at the state department we regularly meet with political party leaders from across the world. >> michelle are their priorities mixed up and are they putting us in danger? theel he' meet with friends of muslim brotherhood but not netanyahu. >> they will not meet with our biggest ally at a time when terrorists are trying to can i go us. we are at war with terrorists they just killed innocent people in paris yet they will meet with the muslim brotherhood sympathizers of the

limit but let me talk to you for a second jonathan. joni ernst ted cruz, steve king, the list goes on and on and on on the republican side. >> a lot of republicans are crazy, especially the ones that talk about all these mystical revelations. that makes the dems look sane. if the gop wants to be taken more seriously, they need to be focused on ideals, individualism, freedom, individual rights. >> what about it, 17-3? >> well i'm angry because i think texas tops the list with four reps from the state of texas. how dare they. come on, they could have done two different lists. the craziest democrats and the craziest republicans. i do think the republican list would have been longer. but we had carlos danger and it wasn't last year but we had governor blagojevich. we've had our crazies. the republicans open this list it proves you can actually be mean and crazy. >> okay, wayne your final thoughts on this one? by the way, carlos danger being anthony weiner. >> he is? >> i didn't know -- i was surprised to learn that qg is the arbiter of ins

jonathan betz has more on that, jonathan. >> reporter: it is troubling john.schools have reached an overwhelming number of needy kids this morning. it's lunch time outside chinook middle school outside of seattle. nowhere is it easier to see than in the cafeteria. more than eight out of ten kids are on free or subsidized lunches. >> it's hard to learn when you're hungry. >> these kids are not alone. for the first time in 50 years most public school students, 51% are living in poverty. that means households that earn less than $28,000 a year. like april white who struggles to make the best of it. >> you know the main thing i preach of course is education. and perseverance in whatever you do you know? you take a bad situation and you totally make it good. >> reporter: the south is particularly poverty-stricken. mississippi, three out of 4 kids are poverty stricken acknowledge followed by lnls. >> there is also a high concentration of poverty and that's why you see the numbers that you do in the south. >> reporter: educators worry poor children are starting behin

jonathan if we could start with you.ow have you seen this city and this country responding so far to these attacks? defiance i think, is the best word to describe it. >> defiance is right. the sense that i got walking around the city in the first couple days afterwards were that there was a refusal to change the way of life. but on the other hand people are very serious about what comes next. and they're very scared about what comes next because the political class is divided about how to approach this question and whether or not the country is at war with radical islam or not. >> it's interesting. so many parts of the community are worried what comes next. certainly the muslim community worried about retribution, already attacks on shops in the community and the continuing terror threat. and all of france worried about a threat to its identity as a diverse place. you may not be able to see, but behind me at the very top in lights is written "paris et charlie" a variation on the hash tag that we have seen so common. tara

brought up to meet him half-way. >> and jonathan there was this other piece about community collegegh school as a step up for a lot of people who can't afford college but want to get there. >> i'm glad you brought that up. because the point i was making in hi first point was not meant to make a partisan point, but it has been done in tennessee with a republican governor. this is a republican idea. and what the president did with this speech is he talked about tried and true left wing progressive, liberal ideas but he talked about just good ideas that came from the right, republicans, conservatives that are good for the american people. >> right. >> and that is the thing that i think will be a challenge for the republican leaders in congress. >> and i want to talk to hogan very quickly, because on the republican side there were five different responses. there were a lot of responses and all very different and distinctive and everybody had different places which i think the republican party is in that place right now. but you did have rand paul trying to talk about things he has been

[applause] >> jonathan yardley how did you get in the book review business? >> guest: i sort of stumbled into it. i thought when i was down a long time ago that i would like to be the editor of a medium-sized newspaper. i spent much of my youth in north carolina and had been a reader of the paper in greensboro and thought that would be a nice place to go. but i got to the greensboro daily news as it was then called in 1964 as an editorial writer and it just happened to editorial department which has three people, control of the weekly book page and there is a change in the administration and i moved one step up in the person you've been running the book page moved from one step up and asked if i take over the book page and i said sure because demand for e-books. it really was purely accidental. i started editing the page with reviews by other people the people who couldn't pay anything but the book itself. in north carolina come a very good novelist wrote me a note and said why don't you write something for the page yourself, not just a book news thing, but a

jo ling: jonathan, do you think we'll see impact trend?f you look at valuations a lot are ready to go. look at average company ipoing last year, they were 11 years old. back in 2000 they were only five years old. >> that's it. what happened in 2000 was inaction or enacting of sarbanes-oxley and other types of regulations to our guest as point a made it not only costly to go public but extremely costly to stay public as a small company. so you're seeing once again either companies get private funding or those who do come public are much more mature, much more established than they ever been before. unfortunately the losers are everyday investors who don't have access to the preipos. and small companies themselves which find unless they're backed by the big vcs of the world they can't get funding at all. jo ling: we'll watch airbnb, uber pinterest there is whole long list of them. moving on, a devastating new study you changing everything you thought you knew about cancer. sometimes the price is just too high. you will never believe how much

let's finish with the words of jonathan low as. says that people have to be reassessing the positions. in the cases switzerland, people were betting on the kinds -- the kindness of strangers and people they never met whose names they could not pronounce. it is a policy surprise lurking? >> i can think of a man who will be interested. let's head out. we are joined by guy. we have order talked about the party. let's talk about the man and the business. let's talk for this. >> good morning. >> i hope so. >> you were here in 1996 and telling us the situation is different. what is the thing people ask you the most? what will russia go through? how will growth pickup? >> it is whether we feel isolated or circumstances. we do not feel isolated. we have to come here to discuss the business relationships and what is happening in the world. >> even if you do not feel isolated, you are taking a vacation. >> we have to adjust. that is life. under the circumstances, we have to change the strategy and tactics. >> did you think about coming. >> n

jonathan, i wonder if i could ask you, let's talk about that audio. a remarkable window not just inside a terror attack as it's happening as you have this hostage-taking. but, also, inside the mind of a recruit to terrorism. a french national here describing why he targets civilians. what did you hear? is e or is that a familiar justification? >> i think it's a confused mind or a confused person. there is very little sense and very little coherence in the arguments he made, starting with, of course, the note about the head scarf band. it's wrong to tell only the part of the story where the french government bans islamic symbols. they're also active in helping to make muslims feel at home in france because of this system of secularism, it allows for revision. >> and to be fair, bans of other religious symbolism, as well wearing of crosses in schools. it's certainly not singling out one thing. >> he's right. muslims do feel targeted. a lot 069d e of the issues do come up. and the idea is that you keep the public sphere in neutral. and you've named your

i called jonathan and i said are there any thoughts?he had been to sudan on two or three different expeditions i guess and he had left in a safe in a hotel in khartoum some money that he had forgotten when he checked out of that hotel and believe it or not this is what is so amazing is the sudanese still had his money. ..

goodluck jonathan visited the soldiers. his last trip they have lost come rats and territory in their fights against boko haram. >> when i passed through here yes, there are negative stories. what i can do is to continues to encourage you to do your best for this country. and surely you will be rewarded accordingly. >> reporter: but some nigerians argue the troops aren't getting support they need. >> this military is not equipped to deal with the fight. this military is not funded. nigerians are frustrated. nigerians are in desperate situation at this time. and in any circumstance or any other circumstances, you really would say yes, we would welcome foreign intervention in this matter because this government has shown total lack of the capacity. total unwillingness. >> reporter: jonathan also med survivors of boko haram violence here too he made a promise that they will be home soon. >> let me reassure all and internally displaced person that the government is working very hard to make sure that you don't stay in these cam

joining me now, jonathan capehart and joan walsh. thank you, both for being here. >> thanks rev. >> joan there's no denying president obama has momentum. and 50% in poll after poll. has the president's approval rating going up what is your read on it? >> well, my read on it is people really like him being the president and being presidential. and they like these moves. these moves that the republicans are attacking him for, like executive action on deferring deportation, the american public likes seeing something get done. he's raised the minimum rage for federal workers. he's proposed a new form of family leave policy. it's a little bit jury rigged but workers will be able to take six weeks family leave when they have a baby or a sick parent. so i want to say, comment on something that marco rubio said about him taking us back to the 20th century. the president in recent weeks is bringing us into the 21st century belatedly. this proposal on college access on community colleges it's the beginning of the way we used to think about thi

jonathan betz looks at boko haram, and how it began. >> reporter: this is believed to be a boko haramning camp where members learn how to use weapons, it was founded 10 years ago in north-east nigeria. the goal is to create an islamic state, and is like i.s.i.l. which broadened reach from syria into iraq. boko haram expanded its activistsies to neighbouring niger, chad and cameroon. under their leader they have become violence. staging an armed campaign against the government and civilians in the north of the country. loosely translated the name means western education is forbidden. they have stepped up attacks on schools. abducting nearly 300 schoolgirls from chibok in april. most of those girls are missing. al jazeera took the pictures in march after four attacks killed more than 100 students. in one 32 students were killed at a boarding school. a building on that campus was burnt down. attacks like that are common in areas where boko haram operates. recently released satellite images by amnesty international shows the extend of damage survivors from the 3rd january attack say boko

jonathan betz has more. >> it's lunchtime action at middle school outside of seattle. nowhere is it easier to see the disparities than in the cafeteria. eight out of 10 kids qualify for subsidised school lunches. >>. it's hard to learn when you are hungry and don't have what ut need at whom. these kids are not alone. for the first time in 50 years, public school students 51% are living in poverty. that means households earning less than $28,000. people like april. the single mother of three girls who struggles. >> the main thing is education. and perseverance. you take a bad situation, and you totally make it right. >> the south is poverty stricken. mississippi has the highest concentration of low income students. 71%, or three out of four kids. followed by new mexico and louisiana. >> we can't discount raise. those particular places where there are high concentrations of black, and there are high concentrations of poverty, and that's why you see numbers that you do in the south. >> educators worry students are starting kindergarten and will rarely if ever catch up. lo

. >> jonathan mann joins us to talk about all of this. he behaved as if republicans didn't just win both the house and the senate it was like a victory speech as much as it was a victory lap. >> and he would have you believe, tell you it's because of the country.

i'm pretty sure it's jonathan kraft. >> nobody's. >> jordan your reaction? listen bill belichick has been in the news about this before when you look at spy-gate and defensive signals, this hurts the legacy of him. it does not hurt the legacy of tom brady. he's been to a record six super bowls. it's really upsetting because it does impact the integrity of the game. he said the impact of a deflated ball is really not much. it's a personal preference. it's worth noting that andrew luck had his own set of balls. >> i was surprised to learn that both teams use different balls. how did this come about? >> there was an interception and the linebacker and the colts something wasn't right the way that he was able to make that play. and it's ironic because it wasn't a new england touchdown. the super bowl is where each team using the same 12 balls. so it is worth noting that. but i think the bigger question here is roger goodell, what is his responsibility and he wants to be the hammer. this is a time to lay a suspension down. i don't think it's going to happen befor

look, this is a terrible idea, like jonathan said, nothing is free.f americans want a free education, want to go to college for free, well, join the military. we have that. if you want a free college serve our country and we will give you college in exchange. i also want to apologize to wayne for what i said in the last segment comparing him to nancy pelosi, wayne you're pretty than nancy. i'm sorry. >> jessica, let's stay on this for a second here. why does the president come out and sell this thing that's free mean while it's going to cost us $60 billion over the next ten years. >> because the students themselves are the ones for two years in coordination with states there's this very broad and comprehensive program that they're putting forth that would help people who need help in terms of the economy going forward. it's an investment in our future and in the american worker and people who are here as citizens. you can make the same argument which people did back when they tried to make public education and high school, which i know -- >> but the p

jonathan? >> okay. my name is jonathan coddington. for the past five years, i've been the associate director for science at the museum of natural history. i'm here in lieu of kirk johnson who is the director and otherwise would be sitting in this seat. he is in bhutan and couldn't make it today. but i'd like to start with -- i've done that job for five years. and my background professionally is about as far from repatriation as you could get. i'm actually a tropical biologist and when i took this job five years ago i knew it was going to be a diverse job, but the -- for example the national museum of natural history has over 95% of all objects the smithsonian owns. at any one time there are about 400 scientists there. since 1846 they published 55,000 publications that have been cited over a million times. for generations it's a place that has prided itself on its contributions. there is no place on earth like it. but then i found out that i was also going to become essentially the day-to-day liaison to the repatriation process. i'd ha

jonathan did the republicans forget who they were confirming? >> no. but they reminded the american people of just why, in their own words, the office the department has become politicized. that's come up a lot during the hearings. are you going to politicize the office? it's time to take politics out of the office. well, they have made -- republicans on the hill have made attorney general holder and fighting with him a proxy for president obama and fighting with the president. so, if anything republicans need to look at their own actions and their own conduct when it comes to politilization of the office. her father was there, her brother, a late navy s.e.a.l. was there, asking for her vote for confirmation. instead, they wanted to refight and relate gate past arguments and battles that they had with the sitting -- >> past arguments, i might add, that was bogus against attorney general holder. >> right. >> none of it amounted to anything. jeffrey, they really tried to go after miss lynch on the president's action on immigration. what did you think of

president good luck jonathan hasn't even appealed to the international community for help.e vague comments that they need more military hardware. but nigeria is a sovereign country, a functioning democracy, and a powerful economy. the fact that jonathan cannot control the insurgency fundamentally reflects badly on him. >> it does. reporting from johannesburg, many thanks to you as always. errol? >>> rosemary nasa says a scare aboard the international space station recently was a false alarm. the u.s. crew quickly relocated from the american section to the russian section after what they thought was a possible ammonia leak in the cooling system. a serious issue, but instead tests showed that the alarm was set off by a computer failure. they've returned to their side of the space station. >>> we want to check out the weather. pedram is here to explain. what have you got the this time? >> we're touching on what's happening in the philippines. >> important guest arriving shortly. the weather may or may not cooperate? >> yeah. i think it's going to be very wet. it's what you exp
