along is that it wasn't enough just to get back to where we were before the financial crisis, before lehmann'sfore the great recession, we had to tackle problems that had been building up for decades. and the central problem in our economy that had been building up for decades is the fact that while folks at the top did very well, ordinary workers were seeing their wages and their incomes flat lining. and so the biggest challenge america continues to have is making sure that everybody in this new economy is participating, everybody who works hard is getting paid a decent wage with decent benefits. everybody has some basic economic security, and that the incredible productivity and wealth and innovation that has been a hallmark of the american economy is broadly based. wages need to rise more quickly. we need jobs to offer the kind of pay and benefits that let people raise a family. and in order to do that, workers need a voice. they need the voice and the leverage that guarantees this kind of middle class security. and that's true now more than ever. during this time of rapid economic change.

. >> it has been search years since lehmann brothers collapsed the start of the financial crisis. in an interview, former federal chairman ben bernanke said that more people should have gone to jail for their actions. >> there were people who went to jail, but it would have been my preference to have more investigation of individual action since everything that went wrong was done by some individuals not an abstract firm. and in that respect i think there should have been more accountability at the individual level. >> one of his regrets from that time is he did not do good enough job explaining to the public the reasons for bailing out wall street. >> congressional republicans are getting ready to choose the next speaker of the house. utah's jason chaffetz is challenging kevin mccarthy. chaffetz is the chair of the over site committee and led the high profile investigation into the secret service and said that fellow republicans will support him because he can connect all sides of the party. >> that's why i'm offering myself as a candidate to try to bridge that divide. i think th

one by a colorado prosecutor, another by a former fbi supervisory special agent, found that officer lehmann reasonably when he used deadly force against the 12-year-old. the prosecutors said they are "not reaching any conclusions about the findings in these reports" and will leave it up to the grand jury to decide whether or not to press charges. that's something we've heard in other cases like this, most notably in michael brown. but the investigations leave us with two very disturbing options. one is that these reports, commissioned by the prosecutor, are simply wrong. the judge who found there was probable cause to charge officer loehmann with murder was correct. the other option is that justice in these cases is weight sod heavily toward police in fatal shootings that killing a 12-year-old boy less than three seconds after appearing on the scene could actually be understood as reasonable in some technical sense. and that, it strikes me, is an even bigger problem. >>> here is the difference in political outlook between the president and myself. what i understand is that the power of corp
