. >> mrs. lu is listening. what is she thinking? >> she does have a say in this.e say in our family we have an almost equal partnership where she gets 51% of the voting bloc. >> i'm familiar with that. >> yes. >> ed lu isn't just about asteroids. he's also exploring the deep sea with robots unlike anything you've ever seen before. that's next. t rate, administering her medication, and just making her comfortable. one night britta told me about a tradition in denmark, "when a person dies," she said, "someone must open the window so the soul can depart." i smiled and squeezed her hand. "not tonight, britta. not tonight." [ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from johnson & johnson. >>> welcome back to "the next list." i'm dr. sanjay gupta. hunting asteroids isn't ed lu's only passion. he's also got his fingers in other companies that are focused on exploration. everything from a revolutionary new way to create 3-d maps to autonomous ocean robots. >> we're here at liquid robotics today and we build ocean-going robots that swim on their own and take da

1021 member and a chapter president of san francisco general and i am supporting one of our members, mr. lu. i think what was done to them and what was done to the security guard is terrible. it goes against everything that is union and this is a union town whether people like it or not. it is. and you can't abuse employees and there shouldn't be accepted from anybody including the school district and so the other issue they have that i got it in our contract about bullying is because bullying is a major problem for workers in san francisco and the school district does not exclusive of that. there are many employees that walk around in fear so i think you should be rewarding the employee, the whistle blowers that tell you the truth so you know what is really going on in the schools instead of trying to punish them. >> good evening. my name is nancy [inaudible] and i just like to come and say thank you superintendent carranza for sending four security guards on december 12 to martin luther king. they have been without a guard since october 31 i believe it was, and as we all know that friday

mr. lu's eagerness in obtaining bonuses, severance payments, when asked if the questions like what entries did you pay under one of four tens millions dollar markets, mr. lu could not remember and of course that answer doesn't pass the laugh test. when asked about communications with citigroup regarding student loan kick backs, he responded he couldn't remember any. then he and the administration made it clear they had no intention of providing documents that might refresh his recollection. clearly these questions don't matter to them because they ain't they have the votes. transparency and sunlight are essential for congress and the american people. if mr. lu will not answer questions now, why shouldn't we on this committee expect him to answer any questions if he is confirmed. that's unacceptable and for these reasons i will vote no on the nomination. it's including illegal immigration, crime on the border and counterterrorism efforts. border chief fisher was among the witnesses. this is an

. >> what we have seen so far is that mr. lu lu was good at getting paid. citigroup received a taxpayer funded bailout and gave mr. lew a piece of it on his way out the door. >> senate majority leader harry reid is hopeful there will be an agreement on the entire senate on the lew nomination tomorrow. >> bill: negotiators for the united states and other major world powers today offered iran a deal on its nuclear program. officials from six nations said they would ease some economic restrictions on iran if iran agrees to stop enriching uranium at an underground nuclear plant. of course, iran has repeatedly refused to do just that. and few people seem to believe this new round of talks is going to lead to any major break through. nevertheless, the new secretary of defense john kerry said that he hopes iran will agree to a diplomatic solution. >> there is a diplomatic path. there is is a clear way through this. and i want these talks to have their chance to work through before i comment further. >> hope as a strategy. israel has threatened it will use all means

obama and mr. lu is getting something done will require coming to agreement with congress, and there the philosophical divide is so wide, that makes getting something done very challenging. >> ifill: part of the divide is health care. this is the time when the rubber hits the road in terms of implementation. this is a cabinet member who is not leaving. >> i tnk oe of the reasons she has job stability and we see with some of the the appointments getting confirmed. there has not been a head of the-- one of the subcabinet appointments in him h.s., the head of the center for medicare and medicaid services since 2006, in the middle of bush's bs second term because it is so difficult to get that through the senate. it would be hard to imagine trying to replace kathleen sebieluous, which is probably a good ting, because shehas so much to do this year, getting the affordable care act up and running, most of it in times for january 1, 2014, plus all of these budget debates that are going on that will inevitabl

contradiction between the presidents rhetoric with regard to wall street in his decision to appoint mr. luto be treasury secretary however rather than acknowledging any such contradiction mr. lew simply told us all his compensation was in line with what other similarly situated executives receive. as i've said before that justification seems a bit like saying gee dad everyone is doing it. unfortunately that type of reasoning is exactly what led to the financial crisis. in addition in one agreement that mr. lew had with citigroup stated that his guaranteed incentive and retention award would not be paid upon his exit from citigroup. however there was an exception indicating that he would receive the compensation quote as a result of this except in so the full-time high-level position with united states government or regulatory party unquote. it remains unclear how this exception is considered, is consistent with president obama's efforts in his own words to close quote window to carry special interest influence in them out of the government unquote. and as it has been widely reported during

i'm understanding that you will invite mr. lu and he will -- he's agreed to come and the only debate we have right now is when you want to be for? >> correct. >> and since we don't have jurisdiction in this committee, i just want the information. it doesn't matter to me whether i get it before or after as long as i get the information i need. >> unless you're going to be using it against his confirmation. >> i think it would be useful to have the discussion since we all have a vote on the floor. i think it would obviously be useful to have the discussion before that vote. >> i would say that if you're going to find out if you're going to vote for him or not for confirmation, we're all allowed to attend the finance hears, correct? >> we're not allowed to ask questions. >> yeah. but, i mean, i'm sure he'll come and talk to you like he talks to everybody else beforehand. i just don't -- you're not blocking him coming here, right, mr. chairman? you want him to come and talk to us. >> yes, i do. >> so, thank you, sir. >> anybody else?

this time he wants to be the next treasury secretary and here now is mr. lu making his pitch?st mutt our nation back on a path of fiscal sustainability. we have locked in $2.5 trillion through sending cuts and revenue reductions. w >> reporter: republicans have focused a great deal of time and energy on lew's time in the private sect with citigroup from 2002 to 2009. that includes lew serving as chief operating officer of citigroup alternative investments. earlier lew faced heat for a big bonus he received. >> one day later you received a bonus from city group for over 900 and $40,000 for your work as chief operating officer on the alternative investment unit which was responsible for much of the loss. were you aware that citigroup was about to receive a multibillion-dollar federal guarantee when you accepted your bone us? >> senator, i was aware. >> reporter: there has also been heart burn among republicans for testimony that lew gave almost two years ago exactly february 2011 before the senate budget committee. jenna: busy day on capitol hill, mike, thank you. jon: and a bus
