how much of this, michael, is just showing america how backwards justice can be?it would go away. it's not going anywhere. >> i actually just spoke to trayvon's mother and trayvon's mother five minutes ago. they're holding up and they're holding strong. what is amazing about this family, through every step of the way they have shown their dignity and kept their dignity. they have behaved in an incredible manner. all they want is justice for their son. now to see a courtroom that we saw only a month ago, a family lied about how much money--that is recorded conversation with a wife and george talking in code about how much money they have in the bank account or the way the passports are kept. this is a bad moment for george in his defense. all we can hope for is that justice is served in due time. >> michael: you know i think what is potentially most damaging to george zimmerman is the second passport rather than more money. lying to the court is always a dangerous tact to take and judges tend to take that personally. but the passport and coded conversation as it re

so, you think michael put your son in a dangerous position?tely. >> reporter: ian's mom says michael roach's allegations of spousal abuse are exaggerated and that her son's death would not have happened if roach had not asked the couple to leave. >> getting them geared up for this retreat and then kicking them off is kind of setting people up for a problem. >> reporter: roach insists he took the right precaution, offering ian and chris tee money and assistance and a rental car to ease their transition. he says they refused the help and refused to tell anybody they were heading into the desert alone. he says he is deeply sorry for ian's family's loss, but ian's mother says this case should be a wakeup call for parents about the changers in gropes like roach's, which she maintains is a cult. do you hope something good will come out of this? >> well, there is nothing good for me personally that can come out of this, because, you know, my son is dead. i certainly would not want this to happen to someone else. >> reporter: this weekend, michael roa

and michael hennessey will speak to statements made by mr. mirkarimi? >> i think given the burden of preparing a declaration, i feel is more appropriate to place them on someone who was working so we would use the key heresy -- hennessey. >> if we could keep the silence. it is a long night. the views on vicki hennessey. is there an objection? do we need your testimony? >> did you say it would or would not overlap with michael hennessey's testimony? >> my concern is could we get a declaration from a retired sheriff. >> is your objective to choose one or the other? i am not sure what question is on the table. >> my question is whether we need the acting sheriff vicki hennessy. it sounds like michael hennessey was listed as an expert witness by the sheriff and we can address that later. if he is testifying, do we need what sounds like overlapping testimony from vicki hennessy. whether or not you can get a declaration. >> we did not list the retired sheriff as a witness who will testify to every responsibility. we witnessed him -- listed him as t

mayor says he nominated michael kelly to head the d.c. housing authority because of kelly's past work. and a hod investigation, which gray says cleared kelly of any wrong doing in philadelphia. >> can you afford to bring michael kelly on given all the other stuff going on right now? >> you know, the issue in question was investigated by hud. they indicated there was consensual relationship. michael had a very, very successful career. >> kelly maintains a home in d.c. where his wife and children live. his no nomination to head the d.c. housing department must now be confirmed by the d.c. council. >> the primary issue should be his ability and skills. if there's something that is in his personal life and getting this much attention in philadelphia, then we should look at that as well. >> he'll take a big pay cut. kelly will make $165,000 here in washington. in philly, the job paid $125,000. >> he resigned three years ago in a dispute with the adrian fenty administration. before the sex scandal. he was given credit for bringing stability to

nbc's national correspondent michael isikoff joining us. mike mcqueary allegedly testifying what he saw in the shower. >> reporter: mike mcqueary took the stand in this case and recounted that shower scene in february of 2001 where he walks in and says he sees jerry sandusky with a young boy skin-on-skin smacking sounds and arms around the young boy. sandusky and the young boy are startled. mcqueary could not barely process what he saw. goes back and calls his father and the very next morning calls coach joe paterno to tell him what he saw saying it was something sexual, something wrong, something perverse. >> michael, what do we make of the fact of the people who testified today. as i pointed out, the young man who originally went to police and this testimony followed by mike mcqueary. those are two big witnesses on the second day of the trial. >> reporter: absolutely. there was a witness this morning in some ways a bigger bombshell witness than the one yesterday. got very emotional as he recounted what he said jerry sandusky did to him. b

michael steele. an unusual agreement among three people. >>> coming up, emotional testimony from one of the victims in the penn state jerry sandusky trial, which is getting quite graphic. i have to tell you. this is the real story coming up in court. >>> plus, build, baby build. get the people working. if republicans are so hungry r for jobs, why are are they blocking the one big plan being pushed by inhoff of oklahoma and barbara boxer to put millions of people to work in the next year building bridges, working on the roads? we've got an exclusive coming up with lots of facts on that one. the mitt romney act. expert exposes the man behind the curtain. the great james lipton, host of inside the actor's studio is coming here. >>> finally, jeb bush's call to arms across the far right leaning republican party. this is "hardball." the place for politics. ose surpe things she does still make you take notice. there are a million reasons why. but your erectile dysfunction that could be a question of blood f

we have michael isikoff.ichael, give us the challenges as they pick this panel. >> reporter: right, tom. probably just a recognition of reality that the jury pool here in center county has been saturated with publicity about the case for months on month. they are trying to find a jury that was not exposed to it and would, in fact, be impossible. the judge cleland has made some rulings and gave a lecture to the jury pool. i will trust you not to read the papers. you will know more than anybody else about the evidence in the case. i'll turn it over to you. you will not have to be sequestered. he does seem to be racing through jury selections that seem to be going much more quickly than a lot of people anticipated. we're now on to phase three of voir dere about the backgrounds and what the jury knows about this. we could have a jury more quickly than people anticipated. >> michael, what do you mean in a time frame? how quickly? >> reporter: well, look, the opening statements in the case are due to start next mon

ok michael go back to you when asked and i think really one of the questions is least when we look at it from a western media perspective is how islam and democracy work together and we just have a democracy that stresses islamic values because we tend in the west they tend to think of democracy to supports liberal values what about islamic values. well those that's a big subject peter and you know i've been interested in and recently published. a longish monaco out on you know on the subject but let's let's pose the question in terms of water supply what this means for for egypt as well as for other countries you know in the region. and here we should differentiate between tactical considerations and underlying philosophical or ideological orientations and then one can fairly say for example in egypt that the muslim brotherhood and its leadership finds it very much in their interest to be a participant in the in the democratic process i think true they recognize that in the near future they're not going to be in a position where they could call into question the democratic institutio

>> michael-is a political point in.nk tanks looking at this trying to find a loophole to bring another loss this? this is america. someone will find a way to bring this up again before the election. >>mark: >>mark: thank you michael for joining us. >>darya: where required to traffic. >>george: at here is a look at the golden gate bridge. we are noticing some of the traffic in the north bound direction slowing. we think that there was a stall on the bridge parent and then their other problems on interstate 280. this is where the right lane remains blocked. there is one lane open. the back up wages to 192. of the-292. this 7 day around the bay is and will warm up to the low 80s and lynn. it begun to mar the weekend looks great. it will be a pleasant day you have all the details coming up in just a minute. we will be back in a minute.. >>justine: to morning where falling this breaking story about the health care insurance being upheld. >> and and we will continue t fight for efforts to repeal these benefits. dianne feinste

these choices you know i don't think it's time yet to call the egyptian revolution failed over ok michael if i go to you in austin people are excited about the democratic process or either candidates democrats in your mind. well the democrats for the time being whether they have political democracy in the d.n.a. is quite another matter. from washington vantage point at this stage you know when they're thinking about the arab spring and the revolutionary changes in arab societies certainly the obama administration sort of primary concerns less about realizing democratic ideals then they are. you know hopefully seeing these stable regimes unstable regimes that would be friendly to the united states and friendly those would express itself and terms of agreeing with the basic outline of american foreign policy in the region rather than what's happening internally ok great do you think the egyptian people are going to disappoint washington. i don't think it's so much about the egyptian people disappointing washington but what the elected leadership will do in order to deal with the military no

i want to turn to michael shure here.e play you a clip by mitt romney and talk about the republican reaction. >> if we want to get rid of obamacare, we're going to have to replace president obama. my mission is to make sure we do exactly that. if we want good jobs and bright economic future for ourselves and our kids we must replace obamacare. that is my mission, our work, and i'm asking the people of america to join me. >> two schools of thoughts is what michale hastings said. and there are a lot of conservatives who said yes, we are energized, our last stand to make sure that obama wins. >> there is nothing that says they are going to repeal obama administration care. it is so much more complicated than actually repealing obamacare. all of these states are going to have all of this implemented by then -- >> i don't agree. i think they will repeal it on day one if they have congress. >> i don't. and we'll talk about that later. one thing that hastings said is donald verilli had a good day -- >> i'm not sure i agree with

craig of liberty blitzkrieg dot com michael maybe and vacuum way did at any moment as a giant forest fire threatens to engulf is area of this city michael crater welcome to the kaiser report thank you so much for having max and yes it's true i want to create accusation notice all my important stuff was packed up and ready to roll out and then testing all right michael kroger barclays bank was just fine two hundred million dollars for ringing live or in europe bahrain it's a three hundred fifty trillion dollar market they were also asked by the c.f.c. scene to please stop doing that your thoughts yeah i mean this is this is a recurrent theme and i think there's there are two are two key things to to understand and notice with regard to the story the first is that the reason why this is so pervasive and becoming more pervasive by the day and work re just more aggressive the sort of manipulation of markets and the key rates that everything else is price that is because of the fact that the american. west. or new period was an empire that existed in the world is maintained through two th

let me give you michael's argument. his argument is this president who wants to be president, rather, is a republican with the -- right attitudes as the president we just saw four years ago. he says he doesn't have toe say what the guy wants to do. and he doesn't have to say how he's different than w. >> no he doesn't. >> but we have to give the new guy a shot. >> so is barack obama going to tell us how he's different than bill clinton? >> no, i think he likes bill clinton. >> that's my point. if you're looking at these two administrations that are vastly different on how they approach spending. clinton and obama. >> two things, michael. two things. the president did say in his speech that he has a plan to cut $4 trillion out of the deficit. that was the big deal that he and boehner were trying to put together. >> okay. >> and he couldn't do it. boehner will admit the president had a $4 trillion deficit reduction on the table. that's number one. he reiterated that today. on the flip side of the coin, governor romney cut

michael you said it is stupid, and i hear you. but i'm thinking it has to be tough enough to find a lot of work as a little person in hollywood, and then you hear they are making a movie about snow white and you are like, thank you, lord. then the studio calls and they say, yes, about that. >> here is my thing. if you are a little person and you make the career choice to be an actor, you know you are going to be in for some tough times and you can't necessarily think to yourself at some point they will make a snow white movie and i will be fine. we have peter dinklige. he buffed the odds for everybody. they are saying, peter, you got this. i am going into accounting or construction or whatever it is. >> i don't think that's fair. i honestly do think -- i think you wait your whole career for something like a snow white movie with not one little person, but seven or eight actually. >> there are always best buy commercials at christmastime. >> they have "game of throwns" granted that is one person. >> michael said that. i don't know.

i'm michael smerconish in for chris matthews. during the republican primaries, mitt romney tried to outflank his conservative opposition with talk of self-deportation and support for arizona's tough immigration law. today, eager, some might say desperate to win over latino votes, romney softened his tone and talked of bipartisan reform. can he sketch away the months of tough talk with one speech? plus, the miami campaign tells rick scott stop talking about how good the economy is. it clashes with our message. in other words -- also, why is team obama smiling over the contempt vote over attorney general holder? because it allows the democrats to tie mitt romney to an extreme republican majority and we may now know why jersey sandusky decided not to testify at his own trial and it involves what his adopted son would have said about him on the stand. finally, leave it to joe the plumber to blame the holocaust on gun control. hey, joe, stick to plumbing. we begin with mitt romney on immigration. leslie sanchez is a republican strateg
