we are in a very difficult messier. it is really one out of every three americans.st turning around and saying you are doing government programs. well, you see how difficult it becomes. neil: it's an amazing study. thank you very much. >> you are welcome. neil: for the guy who wanted to make him president, mitt romney, john stemberg says it should not be too late for us to address government warnings laid out by mitt romney. what do you think of this? >> you are basically bringing me in $2.2 trillion a year, you are spending 3.8 trillion a year, and you are in the $16 trillion in hop. the math doesn't work. and you say the people at the top -- you saw their taxes go up. [talki over each other] [talking over each other] neil: you know, you have all of that entity at $50,000 a year. >> you know, i just think that what america is looking for, and i believe that people say the president and his economic program was the more popular one. i disagree with that. people voted on issues like contraception and immigration and those issues when the president and his reelection.

messier lee said later he only meant to taser grant. >> the loss is undescribable. it doesn't matter if it was today or ten years ago, it's still your child and it still hurts. >> grant's relatives are upset that messierley served lez than one year and served it in county jail, not state prison. >>> in the south bay, san jose's mayor paid a visit to police and firefighters. in ten minutes, why is new year's thank you may not sit well with everyone. >>> well, tas happy new year for san francisco's lowest-paid workers. as of today they received a wage increase making the minimum wage in the city the highest in the country. car ra live in san francisco tonight with a look at the increase and its ripple affect. kara. >> san francisco's minimum wage is now 10.55 an hour. that is up 31 cents for a full-time worker that means about $12 more a week. at lefty in union square workers welcomed the rise in the city's minimum wablg skwl i mean, it's going to help on things, you know. >> a die-hearted 49ers fan who works full time as a cook says the bump to 10.55 an hour will hel

messier region than when the president took office. the policy played a role.will have to answer for that. >> the other thing that is interesting charles is right. when this happened the president said we'll track then down. then interview with "meet the press" he backed away and said i can't comment cxsgcaptionpassgoing procedures. he retreated. he wouldn't be specific about it. someone needs to ask why that is. to throw to wider investigation with different circumstances. they need to be clear about that. they haven't come up with any one of them. he said it's a secret. >> bret: listen. we all know at this table there is a lot about benghazi we just don't know. unanswered questions. it asked senator graham where are the survivors of benghazi to tell us anything about what is going on? >> but give it to the f.b.i. and treatic like a burglary in the embassy. then you say it's law enforcement. all kind of rules, privacy and procedure, precluding the administration from what happened. it was not a burglary or crime. act of terror. we have to treat it like that li

. >> so we got to talking in the make-up room about who's messier. clearly, i'm going for a run for my money. we decided we are going to pull out our purses. >> right. >> we haven't seen each other's. we don't know what's in. that's mine. >> okay. >> i just want to point out meredith's purse. >> this is a purse. >> why are you being judgmental? >> this is not a purse. >> it is a purse. to me, it's a purse. >> no, it's a back -- >> i use as a purse. it is a purse. this is pretentious. this is your idea of a purse. >> look at the bottom of it. >> what is that? it's broken. >> those are supposed to keep it in, but they are so heavy, they fall off. first, let's weigh to see whose is heavier. here's meredith. >> oh, it's not bad. >> how much? >> nine and a half pounds. >> okay. my son was 9 pounds, 16. just for the record. my first. >> are we the same? >> i'm nine, you're nine and a half. you go through this one. i'm going to go through this one. >> can we really show people what's in here? >> each pull one thing out at a time. >> pull this out. >> look i

president obama and speaker of the house, john boehner, the challenges ahead threaten to be even messier than the battle we just witnessed over the fiscal cliff. john boehner is expected to be re-elected today by house republicans as the speaker of the house. but it will be a battered and weakened boehner leading the new congress. it was boehner as much as anybody who ensured the country did not go over the fiscal cliff. but he did it by putting his own job on the line. >> the motion is adopted. >> reporter: supporting a bill opposed by the overwhelming majority of house republicans. and as if that wasn't enough, immediately after the vote, boehner took heat for adjourning the house without passing a $60 billion bill to help victims of hurricane sandy. >> the rug has been pulled out from under us. absolutely inexcusable. >> republican leadership has turned their back on new yorkers. >> absurd. absolutely absurd. >> shame on you, mr. speaker. >> reporter: it was an attack echoed all the way from new jersey, where chris christie, perhaps the most popular republican governor in america, per

it's getting messier as people are getting up. the roads are wet. we're at about the freezing mark, but once you get outside the city, we've started to drop into the 20s. and then, take a look at rockland county. these are live pictures this morning where there is snow on the ground. at one point, early-morning hours, one to two inches falling per hour. and around foxborough, mass, you can see just how long this line of the snow extends, all the way from the pennsylvania area, vermont, new hampshire, into massachusetts, as well. a long line of ice and snow. this all got started late last night and yesterday, with this ice storm situation, that was down in the deep south. it was anywhere from dallas, all the way toward, well, right in the southland, where those icy conditions and all over the tree tops there. now, here's who gets accumulation today. as the first low pulls away. we're going to see in those dark purple shaded areas, three to five inches of accumulating snow. just south of that, it's going to mix between the rain that we're feeling righ

we just happen to think that it is messier now than it has ever been, but that is just a lack of historical perspective. from the very beginnings, the constitutional convention, you can go to any point in our history and say, how in the world did we reach consensus and move forward? what we are debating today is really nothing new. it is just part of america. it is the best system in the world. while messy, it tends to work out, because people a ultimately do come to agreement. in our town hall meeting, you know what? we are going to leave as friends. it ultimately is going to get results, and that is the history of our country. >> you stand up and make your remarks, and a citizen stands and says, i understand you are considering this gasoline tax. if you raise my tax, i will not be able to buy food. i may not be able to buy my medicine because i cannot afford it. tell me now you will back down because this is a terrible idea. >> it is really hard to hear that. i am going to say to the citizen that i understand what you are experiencing and what you believe will happen, but let me explain t

little boy we talked to said he was a little bit confused because when he left his desk it was a lot messier than when he found it because they did do orientations. the kids could get in and spend a little time there. nobody knows what to expect. one of the moms said there's just no playbook for this thing so everybody is going to be taking cues from each other. the teachers will take cues from the kids. the kids will take cues from their parents. so it's very delicate. but they're going to get through it altogether and that's one thing the community has said. they don't want to be defined through this tragedy, they want to be defined through how they handle it and come out on the other side, brooke. >> as for the kids, you mentioned some of the kids are excited. we saw your piece where they said they want the mascot to be a turtle because they're going to take this thing step by step slowly. how are they overall? >> reporter: you know, it's interesting. they are still very much processing the emotions and the feelings. it depends on where the children were, if they heard the gunshot. the lo

, and two and a half is a fair bit there, and so we move to the next chapter which promises to be messier, uglier, nastier than the first one. but i think there is some room for optimism pause as we saw -- because as we saw the first time around, i think after the election, both parties at the leadership level recognized and came to a conclusion that it was in their interest, in their political interest longer term to resolve this. that doesn't mean that they like each other, it doesn't mean necessarily that they communicate effectively every day. it doesn't mean that the process is neat and clean. but it's a fundamentally important starting point if the politics can be neutralized short term, which is very difficult in our government, i think it remains true that the four or five people who count the most have come to a conclusion that it's in all of their interests to resolve this. so my own view is to be a bit on the optimistic side as we go into the next period. however, to put it in the context of broader economic policy challenges as martin's question did, i always start with the pr

bad target and 2.5 is a fair bid they are and so we move to the next chapter, which promises to be messier, uglier, nastier than the first one. but i think there is some room for optimism because as we saw the first time around, i think after the election both parties at the leadership level recognized and came to a conclusion that it was in their interests, and their political interests longer-term to resolve this. it doesn't mean that they like each other. it doesn't mean necessarily that they communicate effectively every day. it doesn't mean that the process is neat and clean, but it's a fundamentally important starting point. but the if the politics can miniaturize short term, is very difficult in our government, it remains true that the four or five people who count of us have come to a conclusion within all of their interests to resolve this. so my own view is to be a bit on the optimistic side as we go and to the next. however, to put in the context of economic policy challenges as martin's question did, i start with the proposition that necessity does not equal sufficiency. defici

that leaves the tax cut even messier than what it is today.so i really believed that true tax reform is getting red as many of the deductions as he you said. i am not naÏve enough to believe that you could get rid of them all. i consider the most reasonable proposal limits things like the home mortgage and etc. to the 28% credit. but it did advocate getting rid of the rest of the underbrush. and i think that is the minimal amount in which we are trying to achieve. >> we talked about spending a little bit. it appeared that the administration briefly supported this idea. what is your opinion? well, you can look at this from a couple different perspectives. it is a more accurate reflection of overall inflation then is measured to adjust the benefit programs. that being said, we suggest that for the elderly, it's not very good. that the index of inflation is slightly higher than the one we use now. so even if you live in a policy debate in a university and you ask about what is the right thing to use, in order to adjust benefits for the elderly, y

the benediction given by cuban-american messier at the official events and again you'll see a numberof leaders attend named. eva longoria is one of the cochairs of the presidential and not zero committee. she was a big supporter during the campaign. but when you look up on monday of the events does reflect the country. >> and to that point as far as participation in the festivities, we didn't get into the lunch, but senator schumer invited reverend luis cortes and has done a tremendous amount of work to grow the organization, fight crime in poverty and make sure individuals across the country have access to affordable housing and quality education and in senator schumer and guided into up in the luncheon with it or recognition of his long history of service. >> and just really quick, this doesn't speak to hispanic american community, but in shuffling my nose i did miss the fact we wanted to make sure everyone knew merely evers-williams, the widow of civil rights after will also be doing the invocation to the official events and taking it off and this ties to the fact that this is an

and so we move to the next chapter which promises to be messier, uglier, nastier than the first one. but i think there is some room for optimism because as we saw the first time around, i think after the election both parties at the leadership level recognized and came to a conclusion that it was in their interests and their political interests longer term to resolve this. that doesn't mean that they like each other, it doesn't peen necessarily that they -- mean necessarily that they communicate effectively every day. it doesn't mean that the process is neat and clean. but it's a fundamentally important starting point if the politics can be neutralized short term, which is very difficult in this our government, i think it remains true that the four or five people who count the most have come to a conclusion that it's in all of their interests to resolve this. so my own view is to be a bit on the optimistic side as we go into the next period. however, to put it in the context of broader economic policy challenges as martin's question did, i always start with the proposition that neces

, and two and a half is a fair bit there, and so we move to the next chapter which promises to be messier, uglier, nastier than the first one, but i think there is on the mitch because as after we saw the first time around, both parties at the leadership level recognized and came to a conclusion that's it's in their interest and political interest longer term to resolve this. it doesn't mean they don't like each other or miewn comate effectively every day or mean that the process is neat and clean, but it's a starting point. if the politics are neutralized short term, which it's very difficult in our government. i think it remains true that the four or five people who count the most have come to conclusion that's been in all their interest to resolve this. my own view is to be a bit on the optimistic side as we go into the next period. however, to put it in the context of economic policy challenges as martin's question did, i always start with the proposition that necessity does not equal sufficiency. deficit reform is critical at the moment. we all know that. everyone talks about it. the

but given what the realities are on the ground, which were much messier.would be nice if the taliban do negotiate from qatar, and in part i think they will do that. today you have a shift back to warlordism in certain parts of the county and you have contests for control in certain parts of the country. that didn't get discussed much. i think when karzai does leave he'll go out and emphasize the return of sovereignty because he needs to demonstrate that he's getting rid of these americans to some degree. there is--both sides are getting something they want. but the reality is a much more messy one. >> john: p.j. steve makes a very good point. is it inevitable there will be some return to warlordism ruling over afghanistan and is democracy something that can be imposed on another nation. >> you have to define democracy. is it going to be jeffersonian democracy? not at all. but could there be a more effective government? there could be. they're not there yet. while many leaders acknowledge that the goals going into afghanistan in 2001 have been achieved. wha
