i was excited at the idea of interacting with everybody in new york city.st the way. >> how exhausting is this? not only for your hand and all the drawing but just for your mind trying to place where you've been and get faces and get people? >> actually it's kind of calming at times because it's something i can just kind of work on just as i'm on the train or going from here to there in the city. >> are you on this 24/7? >> i do other projects, too. if i'll be in a certain spot, kind of like that. but i'm always thinking about it. >> can you hold up this one to the camera. this is watching a mets game. i hope you guys can see this picture. look at that. you literally got in there and started drawing little tiny people. does your hand get tired? >> i practice a lot so it's okay. >> okay. this is another one. take a look at the camera. every piece of art in the museum of modern art book. look at this. you just have to look again. this is absolutely incredible, he's gone through the museum, i mean, what do people think when they see you sketching these things?

hammer coming to you from new york city with big news breaking today. lights, camera, hey, queue the kids. kate gosselin and her eight kids are headed back on tv. yep, "showbiz tonight" learned today the pennsylvania labor department has cleared the way for the gosselin kids to work on tlc's new show "kate plus 8." so, the adorable gosselin kids are back, but is it a bad idea to put them back on tv again? right now in new york lauren lake, she's an attorney and author. and in hollywood, is carlos diaz, he's a syndicated radio host. all right, we know kate is coming off for rating's bonanza on "dancing with the stars." she's got this new huge fan base as a result, plus she's starting her own gig next month. it seems to me kate doesn't really need the kids on tv to make money anymore. and i have said all along, i think it is a bad idea to raise these kids on television. carlos, is it a mistake to put them back on the tube? >> a.j., you and i agree on a lot of things, and on this one, we differ. i'm sorry! i want to see these kids on tv. i -- i -- it's not

there are a lot of ways and the federal government -- it is interesting, i was on a program in new york city yesterday. the host asked me, is it true that a family of four making a $50,000 in this country would pay no federal income tax? i said that does not seem right to me. i went home and figured out that is actually very possible. a lot of americans -- your robin hood theory, pay no income taxes. if you look at a family of four, by the time you subtract the standard deduction, child credits worth $1,000 apiece for each child, $800 for the making work pay credit, you can in that owing no income tax. if you look at the percentage the xipe over the years, the rich people pay a lot more. there is a huge bite in congress saying the texas go to the rich people. you can plug in your a.g.i. and we can tell you your status as a taxpayer. the top 5% of taxpayers that make a 30% of all income -- they make 30% of the income but pay 55% of the texas. the bottom of all tax payers -- 55% of the taxes. nobody is happy about paying taxes. these tax breaks go to a lot of those people who are not paying as

[ laughter ] jimmy, hold it closer to you. look me right in the eye, look at the last two digits on that piece of paper from the yellow pages they ripped out. look over here. i'm either getting a nasty dÉjÀ vu or you're really fixated on 69. is it 69 again, is that 6-9-6-9? >> jimmy: yeah, that's it, right there.

is that taxes are higher here than just about anywhere in the country almost higher than new york, new york citygulations impose high costs on businesses. the it has become a state where the laws and the regulations don't make a very conducive place to do business any longer that's different than the way it has been for the last 25 years. for the last 25 years california actually led the nation in jobs. >> greta: there are a couple of statistics that i looked at today that are horrifying. there were 117,000 more californiaians seeking work in march than in february. the other number that was horrifying was 38% of unemployed people in california a that's 803,000 have been out of work for 27 weeks or more. what is even worse twice as many people as a year ago. those are not trending in the right direction, at all. >> think about those statistics in the context that in the last three or four resections that we've had in this country dating back to the early 1980s, it has been california that has led the nation out of recession. that's what happened in the 80s and 90s, california had the fastest gro

we understand the security and logistical concerns that a city like new york has. given those concerns and given the congressional prerogatives, we are looking at all available alternatives. >> on the ratification in the senate, do you have any real indication of whether any of the republicans in the senate plan to block it or try to block it? do you have any early read since you announced it? >> i will check with nsc. when people get an opportunity to look at the text of the treaty, which will have been in short order, they will see, as i said earlier, that this is strongly in our national interest. i do not think this prodigious his decision -- i do not think that this pre-judges his decision. they were encouraging and his desire to see swift ratification -- they were encouraging in his desire to see swifter vacation. this is -- swifter rectification. they will come together to ratify something that republican and democratic presidents have come together to do. >> do you have a readout of what they said the? >> i do not have a readout. but we get back to you. --

one of the reasons you have espies coming out of new york and across to the jersey city area then across to new work. there is a map that has the spy routes marked on it. it came out of the british had quarter papers. which i found absolutely interesting that day market and the other was that they would go to staten island and go over to a elizabeth which if you go over the bridge now it is such a short area and the channel has been widened to one of the spies tells us how they would do it would take a rope with a -- rowboat and road to the other side then sink the boat below the waterline go to the business then he would raise the boats and row across to the other side and sink it again. this if i was james moody. he operated mostly from staten island town and across from the creek and he would hide their rowboats right next to perth amboy. >> car and eight of the ciphers still used today by the government and if not what other types of technology has hidden? >> computers.
