um, have you got pete with you? we'd love to meet him. oh! um, this is pete. hi. hi. pete, this is... lovely, isn't it, this? what they've done with this... and this is my dad, and this is... where you're sitting, dad. here. where are you sitting? on this table with you. great. that's great. because you're always worried about who's gonna be on the table with you, aren't you, at things like this, and we're gonna be okay because we've got paula and steve! welcome! paula and steve! steve and paula. so, where do you know sue from? do you want to tell him, or shall i? you tell him, paula. is angela not at our table, then? can't we-- can't we do something about that? i-i don't think it would be fair to disrupt the seating plan, frank. i mean, look, a lot of work's gone into that. when jesus was... a bit older... mm-hmm. and he was still being searched by the romans, why couldn't he shape-shift... shape-shift. ...into a roman, and then when all the other romans were asleep, he could go along and kill them so they would stop searching for him. yes, well, i doubt he would do

don't often see you in a suit, pete. funeral. one of his work colleagues died suddenly. oh, pete!t the worst? my uncle died when nick and we were still together, and nick just couldn't relate to the grieving process. just brought everything back to him, him, him. if it wasn't about him, he's not interested. can you imagine how annoying that can get? yes. i know, let's play "stupid mummies" again. yeah. what am i like? i'm like a silly mummy that's always late and says, "oh, i know it's a bit cheeky, "but can alexa stay forever?" oh, what am i like? oh, what am i like? no, what am i like? no, what am i like? come on, jake! wagons roll! can i just ask you something? can't it wait? it's just i wondered if you could possibly have alexa this evening. i know it's cheeky of me-- oh, i'm really sorry. we'd love to, it's just-- it's just that we--we-- we're going out. yeah. we're going out. 'cause pete's got this work due, haven't you, and we've got a baby-sitter. oh. right. she couldn't just have one more-- no. 'cause she'll only do three at a time. it's a kind of rule. agency thing. heal

ç >> andrea i know you have a question for pete. >> i was going to follow up, pete, exactly to yourithout the economic incentives for the states to expand and we have seen in several cases where people are really underinsured, places like texas, for instance, without those incentives on medicaid and without incentives on the other part of the law, can health care survive intact? i know the admin station will argue that it can, but out in the real world of insurers and consumers, will this become a reality? >> well, here's -- consider that there were 26 states that challenged the medicade provision. that is at least half the states are saying, you know, you can't make us do this. now, that was their legal claim. their legal claim was by saying you broaden your medicaid coverager you're out of the program all together. will all those 26 states say we are not going to do it or some nonetheless do it? who knows how that is going to work out? >> congress pays for at the federal level. >> this appears to be a split decision with 3-2 on the majority side, three of the justices finding the

pete wilson was that guy in the 1990s. mitt romney is that guy right now. as we await the supreme court ruling on the papers please law, which romney says should be a model for the nation, mr. romney today spoke before a latino political group about what it is like to run for president as the son of mexican immigrants. >> throughout my campaign i've often had the chance to speak about my dad, and how proud i am of him. he was born to parents, american parents living in mexico. when he was 5 they left everything behind and started over in the united states. his dad, my grandfather, was a builder, and he went bust more than once. my grandfather didn't make much money. there were times in my dad's life when he lived in poverty. but my grandfather had big hopes for my dad and tried to help him as best he could. my dad didn't finish college, but he believed in the country where the circumstances of one's birth were not a barrier to achievement. >> by these circumstances of one's birth, what mitt romney means, at least whether he speaks to a latino audience, is h

pete, back to our thought on nike.redibility sake, this is stock you've been hitting on and recommending for a long time. have you issues about europe. issues about china. raw material kst going up. at some point do you have to worry that this story, which was great, will take a momentary pause. >> i still look at it as a great story. i haven't been on the story since. i look at under armour and nike trading above a hundred. i think that's the case of the better performers of the year. nike is in that category. it was trading $112 a share not long ago. now i am back in. at $88 a share, i have limited risk and potential for upside because i think it is is oversold today. >> patty edward, you own this you? still like it? >> yeah, i known nike. i still like it. i think this is overdone to the down side. that being said, if i was looking to add to something else because i do have that full position of nike at this point, look at films van husen, this is a management team that has been telling us over and over and over agai

pete: for god's sake, stop! karen, ben, stop! i mean, he hadn't wanted me physically for ages, and you kid yourself, don't you? that it's all okay, and then you find out you've been lied to, and then the scales fall from your eyes, and you realize that every relationship is a lie. yeah. sorry, jake. ( sniffles ) it's just come pouring out. i suppose i sensed it was over, but it's still a shock, isn't it? i know, yeah. yeah, no, well, no-- veronica, you see, technically-- no, no, no, no, i can-- i can absolutely track down the printer for you. it's just-- ben: how far is 10 feet? yeah, no, it's just that it might-- it might not be in-- just be friends! ten feet apart! angela: the worst part is that you feel so stupid. i mean, you actually feel ashamed. it's ridiculous, isn't it? ( crying ) you okay, angela? oh, it was so silly, pete. jake and i were just chatting, and then it all came pouring out of me. i mean, i've been wanting to tell someone. tell them what? trent and me... well, there is no trent and me. oh. ( clears throat )

pete, thanks. one more note here tonight about the president. when the decision came down, he was apparently in the west wing of the white house watching a bank of tv monitors and at first he thought his health care law had been defeated because he noticed headline graphics on two of the cable news networks that turned out to be wrong. less than a minute later an aide entered the room and told him the correct result. the reaction as you may know was fast and furious, especially from the right. michele bachmann called the health care law a playground of left wing social engineering, while rick perry said, freedom had been frontily attacked. for more reaction our chief white house correspondent and political director chuck todd at the white house. chuck, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. i wouldn't describe the white house as euphoric tonight. call them relieved and, in fact, you can hear november in the president's remarks today when he talked about the law and his reaction to it. >> it should be pretty clear by now that i didn't do

pete, stop it, you sound like leslie phillips. can i-- can i hear swearing?laying me out of position. i should be playing in the goal. why didn't anybody pass to me? i'm easily better than them. yeah, well, perhaps if you didn't just shout, "why doesn't anyone pass to me? i'm easily better than you," that would help. we could get beaten by a bunch of potatoes. i should be captain. what, for your team-building qualities? now, why don't you just go in and pop your pajamas on. i'm going to play club... well, you might as well change into your pajamas, because-- daddy! daddy! daddy! daddy! daddy! daddy! i love you as much as cats. oh. huh. hi, alexa. how are you? i'm fine, thank you. is your mummy on her way to collect you? i doubt it. right. girls! don't start any complicated games! jane's late picking her up again, eh? oh... only an hour and a quarter. still two hours off her personal best. how was the match? not great. they really should segregate the home and away supporters. oh, not again. still, at least ben should sleep well tonight. do you reckon? he's st

pete, what's the status of that? >> we don't know.y find out in a few minutes what the other decision days will be this week. we'll know whether if there's two or one decision day. another big decision from the court today, the court struck down mandatory sentences of life without parole for juveniles who commit murder while they're still juveniles. this is the next in a series of cases in which the supreme court has put the death penalty off limits for a variety of offenders, people who have mental problems, all kinds of different areas in which the court has shaved away at who is covered by the death penalty. this was the latest. a closely divided decision 5-4. >> thank you so much for your very fast work there, and i'm sure we'll hear from pete more throughout the day. of course, we've been talking about the incredible political implications of this ruling for both sides in an election year when the latino vote is so critical in so many key battleground states. let's going to the white house where nbc's chuck todd is standing by. a

our justice correspondent pete williams is at the court tonight. pete, you know as much about the court as anyone i know, so here is the question. they can uphold, they can strike it down, and don't they have a number of options in between? >> exactly right. if they say the individual mandate, the requirement to have health insurance is unconstitutional, then the question is how much of the rest of this 1,000 page long law will stand. the obama administration says if the mandate goes away, that's a big revenue stream for insurance companies, then likely the things that will cost the insurance companies more will have to go, too, such as pre-existing condition coverage for adults and things the insurance companies can't vary rates based on a person's age or sex or medical condition. >> all right. pete williams, we'll be speaking with you on this broadcast tomorrow night as we review what the court has to say. pete williams at the supreme court. >>> also in washington tonight, a long overdue honor, as the government took a step to recifying an injust

our justice correspondent pete williams joins us from the federal courthouse in washington. pete, good evening. >> reporter: brian, after a trial that dragged on for nine weeks, it took the jury just over a day to find roger clemens not guilty of lying about performance-enhancing drugs. this is a huge legal victory for clemens, one of the most successful baseball pitchers of all time. for more than four years these charges have threatened to over shadow his long career. >> i put a lot of hard work into that career. and so again, i appreciate my teammates that came in and all the e-mails and phone calls. thank you all very much. >> reporter: this verdict comes after other high profile steroid cases have fizzled, too. slugger barry bonds was sentenced only to home detention for giving evasive answers about steroids and after spending millions in a worldwide investigation, prosecutors decided not to file criminal charges against cyclist lance armstrong. so another setback for the government tonight, brian. >> pete williams at the courthouse in d.c. tonight. pete, thanks. >>> no

>> pete williams starting us off from washington tonight. pete, thanks. let's talk about some of the unavoidable politics of this. with us tonight from our washington bureau the moderator of "meet the press" david gregory. david, how blatantly will the politics of this be viewed or is that an eye of the beholder issue? >> not on this one. this is pretty transparent, brian. this is election year politics. consider the numbers. the president won two-thirds of hispanic voters, more than that, in fact, in 2008. and it is imperative that he mobilize latino voters this year if he can carry the states he carried before and perhaps new ones. so it's a critical part of the coalition he wants to put together. there's another element to this. he is really trying to jam mr. romney up here. marco rubio, the hispanic senator from florida, has come out in favor of a very similar provision to what the president signed into law here today or advocated today. and even despite that, mitt romney has not come out in support of the rubio plan. other republicans have not. there

let me bring in pete williams, also white house correspondent mike viqueira.we talk about the politics, the implications, break down what this change actually is and who it would affect. >> the administration says ted affect about 800,000 people it applies to anyone who was brought here before the age of 16, they have a high school diploma or military service or ged, and those people they say would be eligible every two years to ask the government not to deport them. it doesn't give them anything. it doesn't say they are no longer in the u.s. illegally. they technically would be. what the government would be saying is we won't deport you, and after every two years, you can apply for basically a deferral of removal. that's what the government technically calls it. from the homeland security perspective, they say this is refocusing limited federal resources on deporting the most dangerous people, people who have committed crimes, some sort of threat to national security, or have repeatedly come across the border in violation of the law. for them, they say this i

our justice correspondent pete williams is at the court tonight. pete, good evening. >> reporter: both that and arizona immigration are huge issues. but the stakes are especially high for health care. any way you look at it, in terms of the law or politics or the effect on millions of people, this will be one of the supreme court's most important rulings in decades. it's president obama's most significant accomplishment, one he still champions. >> here in the united states of america, nobody has to go broke because they get sick. >> reporter: it's one that eric cantore, house republican looerd, vows looer leader, vows to wipe off the books if it survives the challenge. >> we're going to take to the floor a bill that calls for the total repeal of obama care. >> reporter: 26 states ask the court to strike down the law that all americans get health insurance. >> the supreme court finds itself in the middle of a storm, a political storm in the presidential election coming up, because it's the president's signature achievement. and this is about health

pete talked last night close above 1325 i believe should give us 25 to the s&p. >> pete, you're you usually a picture of opt optimism, what do you think about the markets. >> i'm fairly optimistic, the volatility in deck up and over the 21 level last night but closed closer to 20, today down to 20, back above. what's telling me, ranges. continue to see the range somewhere close to what guy was pointing out. maybe 1200, 13 on s&p 500. we are trading near that 1315 level. that's a level seems like almost like a magnet there. i've taken a shot as recently as yesterday in the spiders. i took a short-term weekly option in the spiders yesterday because i'm trying to play these ranges. i believe this is a great trading market, very difficult investing. you can actually find great trades as well. i've used great opportunities. >> steve, is europe the be all end all for you, the great decider whether you'll be back in the market or not? >> that's half of it. china is also a big desire for me because i think they will continue to slow. the best news for china it's stayingocity headlines because of eu

pete dominick, host of sirius standup. president obama did not cause this recession but three and a half years into his term the recovery is now slowing. i want you to listen to this clip from the "today" show. it was taped in february 2009 just two weeks after the president took office. >> a year from now, i think people are going to see that we're starting to make some progress. there's still going to be some pain out there. if i don't have this done in three years, there's going to be a one-term proposition. >> pete, did we just hear the president say he doesn't deserve a second term? >> not necessarily. the problem is you say he didn't get it done, the problem is he says i didn't get it done. >> also said he didn't cause it. >> of course. it's not all political. not everything -- we can blame republicans for being obstructionist and absolutely true, only solution get rid of regulation and taxes even though small businesses don't cite that anywhere near the top where the problem is, not all consumer demand. not all poli

pete: i'm going to pass that one over to your mother. sue: oh, i wasn't the one saying everything was made out of atoms. but the schools are so good there. ooh. thank you, thank you so much. can i have some beer? uh, no. can i have some gin and tonic? no. ( doorbell rings ) karen, can you open the door for auntie angela, please? sorry. he gets a bit overexcited when we have guests. they all do, don't worry. you've got lovely kids, really. ( whispering ) our jay kept bothering us about trying alcohol, so we gave him some, and now he doesn't ask anymore. ben, come over here. you can have a little bit of gin, okay? okay, if you're sure you want to try it. you sure you want to, yeah? ( laughter ) can i have some more? ( laughter ) i think it's time for bed, don't you? why am i not allowed to stay up like you grownups? because you're little, and you have to get your sleep. ( doorbell ringing ) jake: i'll get it! hi, aunt angela. angela: hiya. well, thank you very much for inviting us. i'm so sorry. i thought karen was going to let you in. she

pete, first to you. because this was very complicated. you're the one who stood out there and explained it allç to us. take us through the reasoning of the court. as they came up with this unexpectedly complicated decision. >> all right. what chief justice roberts basically does in this opinion says, let's look at first of all what the claim is against the individual mandate. that congress cannot require everybody to go out and buy something because that's beyond the power and the constitution that says congress has the power to, quote, regulate commerce. now, those who had objected to this said if somebody doesn't have insurance, then they're not doing anything you can regulate. and basically justice roberts agrees with that. however, he says, there's a longstanding cannon or tradition of interpreting laws, acts of congress, that says you look at there are other ways to find it constitutional. and he says there is. this is the government's fallback argument that if the mandate is still constitutional under the congress' taxing authority
