just last week, they shut down its facility in messina, new york, that produced 85,000 tons of high costyear. and klaus has been preaching the idea of lightweighting, this notion that cars and trucks are using more aluminum, because it's so much lighter than steel, but basically just as touch. that means the more aluminum you use, the more gas mileage you can get out of a given vehicle. we know that they've totally embraced the concept. but i can see how the magnificent rally in the stock over the last week could be pretty confusing to you. remember back on january 9th, alcoa reported what it first claimed to be a disappointing quarter. the company missed wall street's earnings estimates and then it got pancaked. but if you actually bothered to listen to the conference call, as i tell you in "get rich carefully," alcoa has one of the most important conference calls out there, because it has exposure in so many different industries. if you listened to that call, you heard a terrific story. the one i just told you about, lightweighting, closing down high-cost aluminum facilities and doing

likely, who knows, president hillary clinton run in 2016, and they also announced that, mike, jim messinaf the guy who ran the president's re-election campaign, is coming on board to help out priorities. that's actually a big deal. these super pacs very influential, raise a lot of money, put a lot of ads out there. >> this is obama people and money getting behind clinton. very interesting. before you go, paul, because a lot of people were sleeping last night when this happened. house speaker john boehner sitting down on the couch with jay leno and some very interesting comments. let's watch. >> you ever think of running for president? >> no. i like to play golf. i like to cut my own grass. you know? i do drink red wine, i smoke cigarettes, and i'm not giving that up to be president of the united states. >> right, right. that's right. that's not worth it! >> a man with his priorities in check, paul. >> there you go. he says it like he is. he is a big smoker and does love to play golf and i guess have a drink. two things here quickly, this was his first ever appearance on "the tonight show,

wondering if you think, matt, with the super pacs raising so much money and obama veterans like jim messinat mean that a 2016 surprise would be much less likely? in other words, someone to challenge hillary clinton as obama challenged the more establishment candidates and, frankly, bill clinton did himself. >> well, look, predictions like that at this point are very dangerous to make. if you had asked people like me at this point in the cycle in 2008 if anyone had a prayer of taking on hillary clinton, we all would have said no. and we would have said no a lot closer to the time the iowa caucuses rolled around. it's very difficult to say, however, this is a different moment. it does appear the stars, both metaphoric and actual stars are aligning around hillary clinton, so if she chooses to run, she, obviously, would be enormously formidable. >> always disadvantages being the only frontr-runner and noboy knows that more than hillary clinton, she lived it, but with donors and others involved with priorities usa looking to exceed what they spent on attack ads that helped define mitt romney ear

. >> his problem is that you've got some of the obama people like jim messina, top obama person -- >>g a super pac for hillary clinton and joe biden doesn't have that going for him right now. and i think that's a problem for him because it implies some kind of not real but maybe endorsement from obama, which isn't there, but, you know, these are obama's people. >> maybe the elephant in the room with biden -- i hate to say this. he's been a good vice president. obviously been a great asset to obama. but he was not a good candidate the two times he did run for president. in 1998 he flamed out and in 2008 he flamed out. a lot of people blamed hillary clinton's campaign for being a messy campaign, it's hard to see the case for biden in terms of being a great presidential candidate. being vice president for eight years, that doesn't turn you into a better candidate out on the stump either. >> as opposed to -- >> the difference is in '88 and in '08, he had a huge democratic field at the beginning or a much bigger democratic field. stiff competition. presumably he would only run if hillary c

priorities usa, this is the pac, has already brought in jim messina and said it's going to work towards getting clinton elected, so i think they are going to bring in some obama people. but people i talked to said, you know, they need the next david plouffe. by 2016, campaigns will be waged in an even different, before data-driven, advanced way and they find that new generation. if you remember, you know, they sort of snapped everyone up in 2008, and axlerod described putting together obama's team as ocean's 11. they kind of picked the star guys that weren't already working on clinton's campaign, so so i think that is the challenge, go find that new generation. >> host: talk to us a little bit about the reporting process. this was, obviously, a very lengthy story with a lot of sourcing. how much access did you get to do it? >> guest: they gave me pretty much access to her, you know, close advisers to talk about this concept of loyalty and why they had worked for clintons or secretary clinton for so long. i also talked to some of the new people. i think that was something, you know, they
