mayor landrieu: couple things.o as not to be misunderstood, but everybody in this room knows the nation is overincarcerated. we do not do the penal workings country well, and we should spend more money on the front end than up back end. the lack of procedural due process and equity in system should be self-evident, and we have to be working hard on all of that, especially in the relationship between police and community. while everybody is working on that, which is important, what i have been not singularly focused on, but i would have to say most passionately focused on, is the number of young african-american that are being killed on the streets of new orleans and america. america purports to feel good about herself because since the 1990's we have reduced the murder rate by about half. it is now about 14,000. that is a dramatic drop, notwithstanding the fact that 14,000 is more than any industrialized nation in the world. african-american men are 40% victims of violent crime. you look that young men are killing

mayor landrieu: i will go deep. this room is full of really smart people who have researched a lot and i would put in the category of advocates for a big idea. that is really important. when you get to level i work on, which is really low and is on the ground, that is what mayors do. unlike a congressman or senator or even a president, when you are away from policies, when a policy is enunciated on the city level, you see the people who get affects. if you do not believe me, try to raise the parking rates in new orleans. you want to see people get emotional about something in america? try to take away their -- what i am messaging, i going to tell you something that i know. if you tell anybody in the city and it does not matter whether they are ritual poor, african-american, or white, especially in poor african-american neighbors that you are going to do something that will make them unsafe, they will say -- it is not a theoretical thing. the challenge is for me from a messaging perspective how to get people to think

mayor landrieu: couple things. so as not to be misunderstood, but everybody in this room knows the nation is overincarcerated. we do not do the penal workings country well, and we should spend more money on the front end than up back end. the lack of procedural due process and equity in system should be self-evident, and we have to be working hard on all of that, especially in the relationship between police and community. while everybody is working on that, which is important, what i have been not singularly focused on, but i would have to say most passionately focused on, is the number of young african-american that are being killed on the streets of new orleans and america. america purports to feel good about herself because since the 1990's we have reduced the murder rate by about half. it is now about 14,000. that is a dramatic drop, notwithstanding the fact that 14,000 is more than any industrialized nation in the world. african-american men are 40% victims of violent crime. you look that young men are killin

this part includes a magazine correspondent, the police chief and mitch landrieu. this is three hours. >> good morning. i am margaret smith of the atlantic and it is wonderful to see you here in this beautiful theater. [applause] >> i run the team behind the event, the race and justice in america and it is fair to say that this theater is the perfect place to hold this summit. it has served the black community, when segregation kept african-americans out of every other venue. billie holiday, louis armstrong, they all performed here, you can just imagine. and then the place shutdown after the riots and it did not open again until the mid-1990's. here we are. decades later and the topic of race and justice in america is as real and ripe as it has ever been. our gathering today was inspired by a correspondent who wrote the cover story last month. the black family in the age of mass incarceration and in it is -- he examines and understands why we have out incarcerated every other country in the world and what has done for families. many photos here and eliminate -- ill

it is an honor to have us this morning mayor mitch landrieu of new orleans, in his second term.ually a lawyer by training, and previously lieutenant governor of the state of louisiana and before that a member of the state house for 16 years.

though it had reached its turning.when the states won the super bowl in 2010 just the day after landrieu was elected and then you have these publications coming into focus, and even in the hundred days i wrote about there were things going on. is it overly symbolic to say this kind of problems are related to the city? no more overly symbolic and saying a football game meant something, and that is coming from someone who actually thought that that game at least for 48 hours was important and maybe for a few months. the oil spill. so all these things are in a mix command for me trying to keep pace was difficult and i think as the book was coming to an end i realized that i wanted to capture more of the history of the city and some of these things. and so the book really is moving with that parallel. i am moving through chronologically that days moving up to the game and looking back at the city's history. somecity's history. some of the people i found to be particularly fascinating. the owner of the new orleans saints, hard to argue that he is probably the most powerful man in new orleans,

mayor mitch landrieu says police are not ruling out gang involvement. >>> and this morning, an update on another shooting in los angeles. this involves a tulane medical school student. peter gold was stepping in to stop a woman from being dragged down the street friday night. police have identified the suspected gunman. police say he shot gold in the stomach. the gun jammed when he tried to shoot him in the head. gold is recovering. >>> former congresswoman gabby giffords is celebrating a new milestone. she completed all 40 miles sunday of a charity bike ride in tucson, arizona. giffords did it on a special bike. remain mostly paralyzed from the shooting that nearly killed her five years ago. giffords completed 11 miles during last year's ride. she stepped up her training and finished the 40 miles this time around. >> good for her. >>> still to come, a warning in connecticut. the trick a pair of crooks used to get in one woman's home. >>> and caught red handed. how a very observant woman helped to catch a panda on the run. >>> welcome back. 4:54. looking at the george washington bridg

today, new orleans mayor mitch landrieu called on witnesses to come forward. >> here's a message to thes that did the shooting last night. you can't run, you can't hide. we're going to find you and we're going to prosecute you. we're going to hold you accountable and we're going to put you behind bars, for our safety and yours. but in order to do this, we need the community. there is only so much the police can do. we need the community to help take back the streets. >> ifill: all the victims are listed in stable condition. they suffered either direct gunshot wounds or were grazed by bullets. in business news, the pharmaceutical giant pfizer announced plans to merge with allergan, creating the world's largest drugmaker. the $160 billion deal means pfizer will slash its corporate tax bill by moving its new york headquarters to dublin, ireland, where allergan is based. the tax-saving ploy is known as corporate inversion, which the obama administration has tried to crack down on. on wall street today, stocks gave up their early gains in late afternoon trading. the dow jones industrial aver

that's lower than mitch landrieu and mary landrieu and bill jefferson. that's the bottom 10% of the legislature. why should voters think that is a pro economic development work force development record that's going to grow jobs and grow the economy? >> well, first of all the louisiana association of business and industry this year gave over 90 legislators f grades. i was one of those because it didn't like the way we supported our universities and our hospitals and the people of louisiana. i can live with that. i will also tell you that the louisiana association of business and industry is headed by someone who is a very strong supporter and former executive council and chief of staff to bobby jindal. today they endorsed you. because they want a third jindal term out of david vitter. except that they would like to have a third jindal term on steroids. and when it comes to voting records, i don't intend to give anybody 100% except for my wife. >> well again, john bel you try to portray yourself as a conservative. the record is the record. and it suggests

mayor mitch landrieu says police are not ruling out gang involvement. >>> a mistake on craigslist may just save a new jersey woman's life. here's what happened. one man was looking for construction materials but accidently ended up in the wrong section of the site. a woman looking for a kidney. he lost his wife to kidney failure four years ago, so he messaged the couple to offer his kidney, and it turns out he's a match. >> i really think that i was supposed to see that ad. i don't know if you want to call it an angel or karma or fate. everybody's got a different word for it. i didn't see it by accident. >> wow. the surgery is set to take place december 1st. a go fund me page was created to raise money for post-surgery care. after surgery is so exensive. how incredible they found each other. >>> 6:19 now. still ahead, see what happens when a young boy gets a case of the hiccups as he's performing the national anthem. >>> plus, we'll show you the big winners from last night's american music awards. >>> don't forget, follow us on facebook, twitter, and instagram. michaelg4ny, darlene4ny

when i look at kay hagan's loss in north carolina and landrieu's loss in louisiana, and grimes and nunn in other southern states in the last midterm, i see in every case southern democrats who instead of running on the president's record, instead of running on aca, like, please, let me pretend he doesn't exist. and then the president gets blamed for these losses. >> i think that's a losing strategy. as you're saying. because the democratic party is defined by certain things. like the affordable care act. when you look at the next elections, you'll see they're going to be defined by the fact that unemployment has gone down consistently every year under the democratic president. there will be a record of the democratic party the democrats will need to run on. you can't pretend like you're not quite a democrat when you have a republican who's going to be every day pushing the republican platform as they should. i think the key is to draw contrasts. democrats will go this way. republicans will go that way. that's ultimately the way in which you stand true to your party. >> i want to go back

i am talking about comparing that life time rating to mitch landrieu and they all score higher. i am talking about the fact you are in the bottom 10% in terms of ratings about jobs and economic development. that is not conservative or moderate or anything of the like. >> time to move on to another topic and kelly will talk about health care. >> yes, in the realm of education, similary our state has seen changes in the way public health care is delivered. would you keep the policies we have now and work out the issues we face or go into different direction all together? mr. vitter? >> you mentioned a few things. the public-private partnerships are a good reform but need work. i specifically have been proactive leading the charge to improve the pub linebacker partnership in louisiana. i support log chip and thing it is important and needs to be in the mix. medicaid expans is a huge issue in this area. we have strong differences on that. john bel would immediately lunge into the medicaid expansion under obamacare and barack obama's terms. i would only consider it under louisiana's

and also somewhere out there is my former colleague, mary lan -- landrieu and dorothy mcauliffe so allly distinguished group. literally they have so much courage and smarts. a combination of grit and grace that applies to each and every one of them. i it was really the honor and privilege of my life to serve with them and to learn so much from them. now, the senate will be in good hands when, unfortunately, the two barbaras leave, because we have these extraordinary senators still serving, and i for one will really be counting on them because we're going to do everything we can to put our country on the right track, and i am hoping that because of the election next year, this time we'll be able to celebrate more democratic senators and maybe even have taken the majority of the senate back. [cheering] >> now, i'm so excited to see all of you here because i need your support. i need your generosity, but more than that i need your hours of volunteering and canvassing and reaching out to everybody you can possibly touch. because this election is so consequential. i think about it and there

and mary landrieu and bill jefferson to get all score hard to talk about the fact that you're in thes of those ratings about jobs and economic development. that's not conservatconservat ive. that's not a modicum anything other like spend time to move on to another topic. >> into them of education our state has seen several changes over the past few years into a public health care is delivered. would you keep the policies we have now and work out the issues we currently face or would you go in a different direction altogether? yazidis mentioned a few different things to let's go down the list. the public-private partnerships i think are good reform but they need work. i specifically have been proactive leading the charge to improve the public-private partnership in north louisiana which needs the most work. i think that needs to continue to be an important piece of the puzzle and in the mix. medicaid expansion is a huge issue in this area. we have very strong differences of such. john bel would lunge into medicaid expansion under obamacare, under a barack obama's terms. i set up and o
