some people say oh yes? i am a sinner, i made mistakes but don't call me a criminal, don't call me a criminal, okay, maybe you never drank underage, maybe you never experimented with drugs, or the worst thing you have done in your entire life is speed ten miles over the speed limit on the freeway, you put yourself and others at more risk of harm than someone smoking marijuana in the privacy of their living room. there are people in the united states serving life sentences for first-time drug offenses, the supreme court upheld life sentences for first-time against an eighth amendment challenge that sentences were cruel and unusual and violation of the eighth amendment and the supreme court said it is not cruel and unusual punishment to sentence the young man to life imprisonment for first-time drug offense, virtually no other country in the world does such a thing. we have to end this idea that the criminals, not us, and instead say there but for the grace of god, all of us have made mistakes in our lives, ta

we're releasing people all the time and i don't want people to think we're mixing people in one way or the other. again, the system calls for release every day. >> my point is, this says these 2,600 individuals were released solely for budget reasons. why would you have not looked at 26,000 individuals in detention and found -- could have been 10,000 that you could have released? i mean, if -- you should never release someone for budget reasons solely for budget reasons. would you agree with that? >> no, we have to mansion our budget every year. >> but you also -- something more important than budgets is the sbration detention policy. that is what you're here to enforce, not to incarcerate people but you're here to try determine how many people should be detains. >> i would disagree. my principle job is -- on the immigration side and people forget there's a lot about i.c.e. that is not about sbration, unfortunately. but focusing on my job i can do the best i can to remove them from the united states if they are here unlawfully. >> i think the immigration policy of the united states is

people with severely disabled children are exempt.ple people who need care are exempt- those kind of people are all exempt but there is a basic issue of fairness.xe how can it be fair that peoplene on housing benefits in privatei rented accommodations do not ger a fair room subsidy, where ast people in socializing do.ere that is not fair. we are putting that right. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> thank you. >> figures published yesterday, it has been 37% increase in theu number of deaths linked to this disease. are we going to stop this awful position.io we need to prevent this disease and do research in particular. what is the government doing to help support those with dementia and those who care for them. >> i think you raise something that is of concern to everyonemi in this house and everyone in this country.n no one knows when a relative could get eevicted. the point she made is right. this is a disease. we should be thinking about pit as disease in the way we try toe crack cancer or heart disease or strokes. that is why this government ist increasing the amount of money going to

black people will see what people behaving that way. they will assume the white person does not like them. they may in turn dislike a white person for exactly that reason, blame the white person. it is probably happening that each is tending to blame the other for a poorly managed interaction. it actually has to do with these hidden biases in the head of the white person. the black person is less of a contributor in that. tavis: there are 14 or so other tests. gender tests. there are other tests that one can take on the internet do to your fine research and work, but i went online myself a few days ago and played around with this so i could be prepared for this conversation, and there is a political test that you have on here. it features a test of barack obama. you know the test. >> the presidential preference tests. tavis: the presidential preference tests. it made me think about this just a second ago, and i am sure there is no connection between the two, but i want to talk about it in case pier is. a moment ago, you walked through h

we would bring people sandwiches and we developed relationships with people. one of the things that would happen wins once in a while we would talk to somebody, and we think we know that guy, his name is george. i would say george, how are you doing, would you like a sandwich. he runs the other way because he's had interaction with us before who the sandwich was an entry to getting them locked up for 6 months and whether or not you think that people living on the streets were you consider that a life, those people do consider it their life. so we feel that there absolutely needs to be more services for all levels. we do not feel that we need a coneject ral and problematic extra involuntary process in california and certainly not in san francisco. >> thank you. [ applause ] . i know we are going to be -- this hearing and discussing a lot more about outpatient mental health treatment but let's take a moment to hear from danny mcclaegen from san diego. tell us about the program. is it working? >> let me tell you what the program is about. it's a program where peo

excess education funds and millions of people access to basic health care people some seventy eighty year olds who had never seen a doctor in the poorest parts of venezuela or in the barrios so you know it's very easy for some people to sit in that kind of comfortable chairs and so the walls and ridicule those huge achievements but they're not so ridiculous as achievement for the millions of impoverished people in venezuela of course and of course you could say that about the millions that were there in d.c. when obama was inaugurated for the first time in the waving the hysterically waving of the flags and i mean it's just absurd living in this in this city particularly how dare we criticize another call. or for mourning their president when we do the same exact thing here with the political theater going on in this country was the rumors that actually surfaced that suggested there was foul play and how he died can you talk really briefly about what what it is that's pushing the speculation i mean is there any sort of actual investigation being initiated through this. yesterday both

and the vast majority of those indigent people are people of color. so what you have are two systems in place. you have a system where privileged white middle class people basically use drugs, college campuses, frat parties, not clubs, they use drug with impunity, they don't have to worry about being caught. then you have a system that comes down like a ton of bricks on indigent poor people and that's one of the reasons why i think this type of reform is a positive first step because if you aren't going to make drug possession illegal, at least make it a misdemeanor and not a felony. at least don't stigmatize and label an entire population of people as felons and prevent them from getting housing, getting an education -- [applause] >> i guess the question is of fairness. you shouldn't have two systems, one where based on your race or class you can access treatment and move on with your life and another one where because of law enforcement tactics and focus, you end up caught up in a system where you can never move on. you're permanently trapped and we

that have there are people that are you better do you want to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation but not based on no i don't want to discriminate against people on anything what the point i was trying to make is if i'm trying to make this if you want to make it a civil rights issue at the birth i know who's black would babies black and i know which babies white and if i wanted to be discriminatory based on color i could do that immediately i don't know which babies get a so that's a terrible discussion to make and it's why blacks get offended and that's why we ended up voting down things like prop eight because we're saying don't take a civil rights issue that i know exactly you know what i am the minute you c.b. going to be discriminated against because he's gay until he becomes six or seven or eight or nine or ten years old that's not necessarily true meaning so their gender identity is policed at a very early age and whether that's tenorio sexual orientation or perceived gender identity you can see all over the place in this country parents telling other par

that service is available to all people. 4 people were involuntary mandated to those services. couple of them succeeded, a couple didn't. the point is that the county where you have a chief of police who meets with the judge, who meets with the department of mental health or the head of the department of mental health have breakfast in their local coffee place. that model can work in a small community where you are going to know the clients and know the people that come up. does it work in an urban setting when you have highly complex and structured system or interaction of systems between police, between providers and things like that? we don't think so and that's part of the reason it hasn't been implemented. it's filled with all sorts of legal problems and coordination problems with bringing additional core systems into alignment, using hospitals as enforcement measures and things like that. so there are good treatments and there are good services out there. but we need more of them and we need better than we do have. i totally agree with that. >> this is obviously an extrem

a lot of smiles on the faces of people and a lot of young people in that crowd who wanted to witness it, who wanted to be part of this movement of the faithful. and also part of this day in history. i'm joined now by father edward beck. to you, what do you make of this man being selected and the name he has taken, pope francis? >> there are so many firsts with this candidate. the first noneuropean candidate, first jesuit and to take the name sir francis. >> it's been about 1,000 years. there were some long, long ago. >> right. but to take the name st. francis is revolutionary. no pope has ever taken it because we thought no one could possibly live up to who francis was. the inspiration he is walk into an empty church that was dekrep i had and from the crucifix he heard the words of jesus, francis, rebuild my church. so you know that about st. francis. now you have a man who knows that the church is in need of rebuilding, taking that name, a champion of the poor, the outcast. this is a man we know who shunned the palace of the cardinal -- >> literally. >> he moved to a small apartment

how do you reach people? have you get the average person to stop and open up and acknowledge that maybe some of the things -- a lot of it is their fate in the system we call democracy in america. to challenge the notion that anybody can pick themselves up and move forward in america, that is a tough nut to try to crack. tavis: >> when i saw you in washington last, my friend cornell west and i were on a .overty towarur to your point about americans not believing that many people go to bed hungry every night, that there is food insecurity in this country, what is at the heart of that? in the book that dr. west and i subsequently wrote, we have an notionnotion about this about american exceptionalism. poverty is very real and threatening our democracy. all the things that are connected to the notion of poverty, this is real. but americans for whatever reason don't want to believe that. we believe it is because we have been so caught up in this notion of american exceptionalism, that that kind of stuff does not h

people -- the resource of time. i think if you look at the schools in this country, whether they be traditional public schools, charter schools, et cetera, they are in school more time. they have their kids working for school, afterschool or weekend, et cetera. we have 180 day calendar because we are still living off the puck where he and calendar. literally it's interesting, summit said on a talk show the other day or maybe a blog that said, though, michelle rhee is wrong. the u.s. is not doing worse than what it was doing before, she is sort of exaggerating the policy. and that person is right. when you look at the fact, the academic achievement levels of our kids in america in the 1960s and '70s is pretty much on par with where we are today. so it's true that from that vantage point we have not gotten worse. the problem is that there are country that are leapfrogging ahead of us. countries like latvia and liechtenstein. i'm not kidding, latte and liechtenstein are both growing academically at two to three times t

some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed. team behavior, be calm. you don't want to be excited and crazed. be systematic, demonstrate by example. if you are calm and cool and under control, people will see you are there to help. if you act like

even the "fab 5" the bravo show where people could look at gay people and not be afraid of them.who were gay were pushed out of schools because people thought they didn't know anyone who was gay. i have people i went to high school with i had no idea they were gay until ten years ago. no one would ever admit it. >> so true. >> the fact people being out and open made it hard for us not to all be rob portman. when you know someone who's gay, when your kid's teacher is gay, when your neighbor is gay and know it, you can't say, i want to see that person discriminated against. >> who were your role models in being courageous in running for office as an openly gay man? i think of the movie in philadelphia, tom hanks playing a man who was hiv infected and think of sean penn playing harvey milk. 30 years ago this wouldn't have been an acting choice, hey, let me play the gay guy. this is a big positive development i think. your thoughts? >> you know, there's no question that harvey milk was an obvious role model in doing this. you know, i actually represented a good chunk of benjamin fran

lay people off. those who remain behind had to do more work. the trend seems to show that when we have a longer workweek and companies are working people longer, the next step is to usually hire more people. working people longer means there is more business and more customers and more people spending money and there is more business. that is a good thing. the hope is that the next step is hiring. the number is getting up to the historical norm, if i remember correctly. there is not much more. it is one to be hard for employers to get much more out of people. the next step should be more hiring. there are modest increases in pay levels. in the past year, we have seen pay go up 2.1%. that is ahead of the inflation rate, which was 1.7%. it is not big. for most of the past them years or so, the annual gains in wages were lower than the inflation rate. now that we are a little bit ahead, that is a good thing. host: from michigan, hello. caller: i would like to office -- offered the opposite side of the c

. >> church people? >> like the people who didn't believe in god understood our decision better than the child people. my wife and i as we went down the journey. if you lose your life you will find it and so once you make the difficult decisions and allow people in your house and giving to the poor and you see the result of it. to be in africa and see these kids eating and clothes and vitamin and educated, it brings so much life to you . i just never have been happier . stow it is not so much about the sacrifice, it is about the joy of giving and just that desire to love these people. >> when you first went to your wife and said i am going to sell our house and we'll live like paupers and we'll have a lot of strange people moving in. homeless and drug addicts i am sure she hugged you and said that is what we always dreamed of. >> first of all i didn't do that. it when i came back from oafrica. i would look at this stuff. it is so hard, you have to see the kids, they are so beautiful and they are digging

they are the people that negotiate this. the people that sit down on the boards and panels do so. they are not measuring prevailing wage. they are simply measuring union scale and applying that to the davis-bacon wage scale. the result is these projects, these federal projects, cost an average of 22% more. i have records that go back for years. we do some davis-bacon-wage scale projects, some are not. we are flipping back and forth. we have a pretty good set of records that accumulate over the years. our record someplace between 8% and 35% is the percentage of increase in the cost of a project where there is a federally imposed wage scale. part of that time is, they don't know what the wage scale is. part of the time it is because they are opposing a higher wage, prevailing wage, and part of the reason of that gap is some projects are material intensive and other projects are labor intensive, so you get that gap between 8% and 35%. but standard here is 22%. think of what this means. if this congress were fiscally responsible and they looked at the unnecessary spending that's part

>> of course it is, scare the bejesus out of people and make people think at least they're not going to get their tax refund, but again, the money needs to keep rolling in to pay for the president's health care law and we have no idea yet how much this is going to hit the american people because this year, don't forget, on higher income americans, you have medicare payroll tax hikes, investment income tax hike, a hike in the threshold where you can deduct your medical expenses, you have the medical devices tax, that's just this year. >> that's this year and gary k, with all of that stuff they're not going to wait a nano second to collect their money, but people watching the show wondering what the heck, where is my tax rehe fund? >> i think you have a situation where they're trying to cause as much pain as possible to show you, hey, i told you so, the sequester was bad. look, we went this week where they actually shut down the tours of the white house that only costs $17,000 a week. trying to make a point, prove a point and that's to go down the republicans throat to make them look b

his body will remain in state for an extended seven days because of the sheer amount of people people from the barrios the poorest neighborhoods in the cities the countryside and across the country who want to see him for the very last time but fifty five heads of state from around the world are attending the ceremony of the funeral of chavez cuban leader raul castro showed up last night the brazilian neither do my rousseff is here the former brazilian president you like this so there's a russian delegation and also the iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad is here he has said that. life serving the venezuelan people and preserving human and revolutionary values now of course chavez and i didn't judd were very close allies and really that relationship was an example of how chavez used the power of this country which is largely based on its very large oil reserves to extend solidarity to countries that are targets of saber rattling economic interventions and threats of military aggression by the united states and other western powers now there's also very much a sense of anger amongst

you want to get people off the streets of they do not harm people. again, domestic violence, child abuse, all of that kind of stuff, it can be overwhelming when you think about it. when we started working on this issue, we had an idea of what we wanted to cover. when we started working on that threat it was like, oh, my god, this is widespread and pervasive and scary. host: we're talking about variety, a special report on violence and entertainment. you can find an online by going to variety.com/reilich. here are a couple of weeks for you. one writes, it is plain to see that violence is more in-your-face than ever. kids are impressionable. some kids think reality is video games. and another one said another way to look at it is the entertainment verses from the games. do they equal or not? our guest served as editor and chief of this special report on violence in entertainment. his work also includes the book "rit" -- "rit: an illustrated history of the world from the most important magazine in hollywood." let's hear from herald in east st. louis on

million people specifically for disabled people. but how much did his own figures show it's taken disabled people? 306 million pounds? 306. so we'll see that the vast majority of disabled people who were hit by his bedroom tax will get no help from his hardship fund? >> first of all the whole house, whole country will now no apology for the mess left by the party opposite. but let me tell him, on the subsidy his figures are completely wrong. first of all, the last thing he just said before he sat down is that we're cutting the money going to disabled people. that is simple enough decades. in 2009-10, the money spent on disability living allowance with 12.4 billion. by 2015 it will be 1,323,000,000,000. there is no cut in the money going to the disabled. this government is protecting that money in spite of the mess that he made. now on the subsidy, pensions are exempt from people with disabled children are exempt, anyone who needs help around the clock is also exempt. and as he is fond of reading out lessons from his constituents, le

by young people. so there isn't a single person that is a part of it that isn't somebody like myself. there's a ton more justins out there and some great people aside from me who are making these things happen across the country. and i think it acts as a standalone, just being inspirational by being that model of recovery and that life can be extraordinary. i don't have enough time to go into it, but, you know, my life today is absolutely extraordinary and my father just turned 60 years old a couple of weeks ago and he was able to call me and thank me for what i have shown him what a life can about and that's a gift. absolutely. absolutely. there are, of course, other options where folks can go in there's in the rooms and there's quite a number of areas where i think they can create even subgroups within those that can be just for, by, and about young people. correct, jonathan? absolutely. in fact, we have one of the most helpful activities that many of our young people do is that they get together an

about 6 million people. that means more than 40 percent of the chilean population. in terms of energy was released, you can see there it's one trillion kilograms of tnt, that means an 8.8 earthquake. another comparison could be 18,000 times the hiroshima atomic bomb. it's supposed it occur less than two a year above 8. chili has first runner up with 9.5 with bolivia, 10 minutes duration. this one was 8.8, at that moment was no. 4, then japan next year led next year with 8.9, but it's a lot, a big amount of energy was released in just 3 1/2 minutes. usually that things happen at night. i don't know why, but it always happen at night. so we are leading on february 27 at 3.24 and you can see in light blue the time when the first wave arrived the coast because the epicenter was so close to the coast. so it's no more than 10 minutes and at the same time the waves start moving through the pacific ocean and in 21 hours it hits the coast of hawaii. so everybody was affected because of that. in mexico, for instance,

and latinos and people of that type and the other people with male.there's a despairty between the way people -- >> there's discrimination? >> based on gender. >> okay, good to have you with us. >> great to be here. >> mississippi is fighting to keep their label as the most obese state in the nation. the big panel takes a bit out of that one, next. there's nothing better than salon color, full of beautiful highlights and lowlights. that's why nice'n easy builds dimension into every shade. so here's a challenge: love the gorgeous dimension of nice'n easy or we'll pay for a salon color. take the salon challenge, from nice'n easy. our largest selection of lobster entrees, like lobster lover's dream or new grilled lobster and lobster tacos. come in now and sea food differently. visit redlobster.com now for an exclusive $10 coupon on two lobsterfest entrees. visit redlobster.com now today is gonna be an important day for us. you ready? we wanna be our brother's keeper. what's number two we wanna do? bring it up to 90 decatherms. how bout ya, joe? let's go

people have made predictions.ot of people in cable news in. but if the court strikes down doma in a way this case was presented to them, what would happen next? >> the clearest practical consequences that same-sex couples who are legally married will now be treated like other married couples in their state, whether it means they pay more in taxes or less, but they are married and they come to the federal government as married people and plug into that social safety net and all those protections and all the responsibilities that come along with it. that's the clearest consequence. no effect on the laws of other states. >> so states where you can't currently get married if you're a same-sex couple, this ruling wouldn't have any impact. >> yes, this is about the unusual rule that congress made in fact 1996 to say we're not going to follow our usual pattern of adopting whatever the states say. we're collude from federal protections. >> mary bonauto, this has been your fight and your strategy for more than a decade. an

the people.ause] obama's federal government is a disaster. it is lurching from crisis to crisis. they think that federal action can solve everything. the reality is they haven't fixed anything. say to them get out of the way. let states and cities take the lead in helping americans improve their lives. it is not just constitutional, it is common sense. we have 30 republican governors who can prove it. they are show the government of the people, by the people, for the people, should be kept closest to the people. to fix our nation, conservatives have to hold the president , just like an ophthalmologist from kentucky did when he challenged the president on the senate floor. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, i am and rnc chairman that is here to applaud senator rand paul for what he has done and what he did on the senate floor two weeks ago when president obama refused to answer a simple question. for paul did not sit down 13 hours. he stood proudly on the principles of liberty. one by one, other sen

except i change their slogan to, guns don't kill people, americans kill people.e're the ones who do this. those canadian kids tonight, on friday night, living up there in toronto or vancouver, they are playing the same violent video games that are played in this country. it is not -- any of the stuff that we are talking about, there is something wrong with the american character and that -- until we ultimately get to that, as to why we believe as society and officially as government that violence is a means to an end, if we think something has weapons of mass destruction, it is okay to invade their country and kills hundreds of thousands of civilians. if someone commits crime, i think north korea, saudi arabia, iran, that still have the death penalty. we believe it's okay to kill a human being whose committed a crime. we believe societal wise and gender wise, that it is okay to strike a woman. a woman is hit, physically abused every 15 seconds in this country. that's where we live, michael. as i said in my last movie, you know, i refuse to live in a country like

it's the poor people. it's the incarcerated people.it's the accused people that actually need a commitment to the rule of law. and so we have to understand that ultimately, that's where we're going to be judged. we're not going to be judged by how well we're doing for the rich and famous. we're going to be judged by how well we do with the clarence gideon's of this world, which are frankly everywhere these days. >> bryan stevenson, thank you very much for being here and thank you very much for the work you do. >> thank you. >> public opinion against capital punishment has grown, perhaps reflecting the supreme court's own shifting and evolving attitudes toward state killing. in 1972, the justices ruled that the death penalty was carried out in too arbitrary a manner and the court imposed a moratorium. four years later the practice was allowed to resume, and since then more than 1,300 men and women have been executed. over time the justices have more narrowly defined the circumstances under which the death penalty may still apply, but yo

we have 1.8 million people waiting for a cancel house. it that is why it is not surprising that the honorable gentleman is yelling shameful. listen to what they said under the last government. we have reiterated that we need to ensure that houses that are too large for people's current needs is allocated accordingly. now all we get is irresponsibility. >> in york shir businesses have got forward of the books and the economy is turning a corner. would he ignore the poor advice from the party opposite? >> first of all, my honorable friend says the british economy has been through difficult times. not least because we're recoverying from a banking bust and the deepest recession since the 1930's. if you look at what is happening in terms of employment, new business creation, you can see an economy that is rebalancing. it is that rebalancing and that business growth that we need to encourage. >> the prime minister has stood idealy by while hard-pressed families have faced soaring energy bills. now over 1,400 pounds a year. the prime minister p

people who participate in philanthropy, or the good rich also for people for what they do or what they have invented to make our lives better? >> your question is good, and i think your answer is a good one. it is possible to get off the hook, to get off the hook of being rich and make us love you any way even if you aren't philanthropic, and, certainly, steve jobs is an example of doing that. he not only did not give. he scorned giving and said that most people were simply doing it to buff up their reputations, and he was not going to be involved in playing that kind of game. there was a lot of adverse comment during his life about the fact that he was so ungenerous. oprah was different in the sense that she was philanthropic, is philanthropically inclined, but she didn't sign the pledge either and made a point of not signing the pledge. what does this say about her? well, i think both she and jobs could be comfortable with the fact that they had enormous mus- enormous numbers of americans who admired them sufficiently for what they did, what they actually did that they didn't have to

look at the young people. they have learned to overcome a legacy of mistrust that they inherited from their parents. they simply recognize that we hold more hopes in common than the fears that drive us apart. your voices must be louder. look to a future in which jews and muslims and christians can all live in peace and greater prosperity in this holy land. believe in that. [applause] most of all, let it be a future you want for your children. in which a jewish democratic vibrant state is protected and accepted for this time and for all time. [applause] there'll be many who say this is not possible. israel is the most powerful country in this nation. israel has a unshakable support of the most powerful country in the world. [applause] israel is not going anywhere. they have the wisdom to see the world as it is. this is in your nature. israel has courage to see the world as it should be.

they are benefiting not just people like me or people working in washington d.c.ecause they know their lawn, watched their children but this is not the zero sum game and the data is clear it is a no-brainer. john: of the immigrant pains my house we are richer? >> yes. because he is cheaper e makes construction and prices lower for all of us. john: adits minder standing everything cost less and we get richer. >> to focus on the gdp if we would provide amnesty to 12 million in legal immigrants yes a total sum of products manufactured would grow. >> the more people in the bigger it gets but it is abstract but it doesn't mean anything for the public because if you find a the government with low-end jobs gdp is rising but opportunities for meaningful growth are eroding. john: what would you do with the 12 million who are here? >> you remove them as identified by law and allow them to leave voluntarily. if we have the incentives in place they would self to port with attrition. john: make it so hard they leave on their own? >> dry up the smorgasbord of benefits like driv

a lot of people have mentioned power, the power balance between people and the trauma that people can bring in from outside and the significance of being traumatized and traumatizing other people and it also talked about restoretive justice being a model. i know we're in a room filled with district attorneys and police officers, law enforcement. i'm curious what role law enforcement can play in restoretive justice, what can be imparted as groups of people who may or may not be connected with the trauma. once you are traumatized by the school, politicians, et cetera, et cetera, then you have more of these power dynamic things going on in your head, i'm going to exert whatever power i have on these people, i'm interested in hearing about the restoretive power that we want to be

the if republicans really want more people to vote for them, then maybe they should get more people to vote, period. instead, they are still suppressing the voter across the country, in states like arkansas, the republican legislation just advanced a new voter i.d. bill. since november, republicans have been scratching their heads trying to figure out why they lost so big on election night. they lost african-americans, asian americans, latinos, young people and women. those are big problems but republicans are ignoring the real solutions. look, i think you're going to continue to have a problem. >> the problem is with their policies. there is no nice way to tell seniors you're changing social security. to tell latinos we're profiling you, we're suppressing your vote. we don't need a smile. we need new policies. thank you for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. >>> religious war. let's play "hardball." good evening. i'm chris matthews in washington. i'm not washington. let me start tonight with this. you can't steer a car with the engine off. it's problem with the re

this causes them it for a system to warn people would be eighty million dollars so when you tell people that an eighty million dollars system could potentially save lives and save billions of dollars in damage people are wondering why that money is being spent but as i mentioned when there's budget problems a lot of times these first responders get cut and when we don't see earthquakes causing deaths in damage on a daily basis they're just really isn't that appetite to spend money and create this safeguard thanks for that update that was our to correspondent among the lindo . the mayor bloomberg keeps making his way into the media spotlight first he banned smoking in new york city public parks then he tried to ban large sugary drinks now he's focused on passing gun control and he's spending his own money to do it he reportedly plans to spend twelve million dollars on ads aimed at putting pressure on u.s. citizens to pass gun control measures the move has some asking is he taking it too far i do not think we should ban most things i do think there are certain times we should infringe on

and three, do people support it in the latest poll i saw, two-thirds of the people across the party support the sequester. so if you think, my gosh, d.c. is doing something that we support and is a big deal, yeah, that's cause for cheer and i think it's reflected in the stock market. >> brenda: okay. >> particularly this week. >> brenda: toby, spending cuts kind of, wall street rally, go together? >> you know, it's part of it. let's look at the bigger picture here, the same time we have the sequester happen we have the representatives pass a six month exexpended spending bill and essentially wipe out many or small parts of that spending. at the same time, you haven't with the pieces-- everybody is excited about spending cuts and six months of outrageous spending. we obviously have another issue here, economically this was an over hang and at some point, i don't believe that people thought it was going to happen, that we were going to go into this lockup. and by not going into the lockup, that did get the marginal buyer off their can and buy some stocks. the stocks melted up, it wasn

people then save. know, there ia premium on saving for the time, and the people who really can't, there is a small percentage of the population who really cannot save, really cannot afford it. they depend on charity. it in a money from other people, which they do today as well. just, it's voluntary. today it is being forced on the and generation to support their parents and grandparents. john: voluntary is more moral than forest. government is forced. >> forces evil. volunteering is good. government is forced. sequester. the liberal media is hysterical. nbc nightly news. in california 9,000 low-income students to lose financial aid. in texas millions for teachers and schools could be slashed. the sequester could cripple air travel, force firefighter layoffs, even take preschoolers' out a child care. even. now, -- >> this is panic for the sake of panic. an attempt to demigod us away from this tiny village cut, as you showed, a tiny little cat in the projected growth. and look, it is a stupid mechanism.

and the people who have wealth are voting more than people who don't.hearing from, they go to the town hall meetings, and the people who are showing up at the town hall meetings are not the people who are working or i thought about this at my son's school event, and i knew that everybody there had to have child care and i thought, these are faces who can afford child care, right. and those are the people who show up, and when the representatives come home and i was just at five town hall meetings, and this is what everybody told me, because they are the people who can show up on a wednesday afternoon. >> and even participation cost, because there is a way that the wealth gap costs. so thank you to everybody. tom, an matt and ammy and i feel like romper room. but it is first time for a preview with alex witt. >> well, this is one strange and tragic story, everyone. coming out of florida where a sinkhole apparently swept a man to his death. we are getting more information. >>> and march madness d.c. style, which state is hit with the most sequestration cu

if they want people to come on board, they have to stop serving only the rich people. we poor minorities equal work for the party. [indiscernible] i am a republican, but the democrats continue winning my favor and other minority people. ryan is very wrong. if you want a a balanced approach, you cannot do it on the backs of poor people. we have to keep an eye on people who cannot fend for themselves. host: there was a senate judiciary meeting yesterday to talk about a gun control bill. two of them being considered yesterday, and one of them being considered today. the committee approved a bill for background checks and purchases, but they proposed -- good morning to bethlehem, pennsylvania, democrat, dale. caller: the stock market and they have all kinds of tax loopholes on wall street. [indiscernible] reworking the entitlements does not mean we have to cut them. they could raise the social security taxes, which should have been done a long time ago. i agree with the governor of louisiana, bobby jindal. the deficit has been decreasing every year since obama has been in

i owe people. that's why i go to talk to people. but my disease is first off wrong, theirs guaranteed wrong. made that way was i. first thought wrong, inappropriate, impolite, incorrect, cruel, criminal, abusive, petty, angry, poor, first thought wrong, absolutely. first thought wrong. 12 minutes, that's what i get? 12? second thought was i'll take two and make a difference. first thought wrong, sometimes second thought wrong grr! sometimes it takes me 15 minutes to get to a healthy thought. sometimes longer. sometimes four days of long, wrong, and strong. i went through t.s.a. recently in san jose where i live. i was born and raised in oakland, i went to jail in livermore. here is the part. normal people don't laugh at jail there. i worked there. god bless you if you worked there. i couldn't do that job for two days in a row. i can do it for an hour. an ex-felon who is an extraordinary father. i can become an ex-drunk who is an exceptional citizen. there is a transition necessary for a convicted, afflicted person the and it involve

a lot of people said things at work, at school. people watching the show will remember.ey were ostracized. >> yeah. >> you couldn't say anything. the dixie chicks lost their career. they were finished. other people lost b jobs. >> mess. >> yeah. because we were told at that time in a democracy we are not allowed to dissent. we are not allowed to ask questions. today learned from vietnam in the previous wars don't put images on the screen. don't let them see coffins coming home. let's get our media embedded. >> let's end the segment with the results of the cnn poll about iraq. they were asked would you say the initial decision to send u.s. troops to iraq was a smart or dumb thing to do. americans replied 59% dumb, 38% smart. was iraq a mistake? yes, 56%. so on and so on. did the bush administration mislead the u.s. public, yes, 54%. >> that's why this is a great country. the majority of americans got it together. the majority of americans are never listened to. we'll talk about guns in a few minutes, i guess. >> we'll take a break. >> no one is being listened to. >> this

meddle with i have friends this is a choice other people maybe not but you know what some people might feel that they're born with a need to marry two people or temporary to their job their argument or to marry or . balcony fleetly appearing now that completely aren't using the law going to say nothing was right given that you guys have a lot on our economy not what arguments you guys have but we've heard this argument that we've heard the arguments made for good and i don't want to or whatever. we've heard my argument is my own we heard this argument made in the counter-rally that happened today at the site of the article on marriage it was money yes it was made like we didn't choose to be black i woke up as a black man and it was what it was that you're just saying that i don't know if people are born to a born to be gay just like i don't know people are born to be black or not to me i was actually at the rally today and it was imagine i could make that claim so i really know he's here is the fact here is the fact we have a contract the fourteenth amendment was ratified people said t

but essentially we're making a promise to people older people that younger people will support them. as folks in this country have become able to live longer and to be productive longer, we've gotten into a situation where the number of people paying into the system versus being paid by the system has shrunk. it's simply people are living longer. if we took this gentleman's money and put it into an annuity of some kind, reasonable go to metropolitan life, it would finance the social security he would get. it wouldn't be enough. it's a matter of getting it right, a matter of picking retirement age that makes sense from the point of view of how long people can work and that is sustainable. the medicaid situation is much more difficult. the medicare excuse me. the old-age health care system. simply because in addition to the problem of having people get into it too young, we've got skyrocketing costs and we've got the problem that a lot of people between 50 and 65 are finding themselves without benefits. host: before you respooned, on twitter. guest: two things. i agree with what most o
