>> peter: i knowdon't >> caller: you have heard of boot hill. >> peter: yeah. of course. >> caller: no matter who came into town some gun slingers, some gang or this or that and they had a shoot-out with the marshal and she shot him, then they took him up to boot hill and buried him. and that was the end of it. and your hatred should have died with them. your animosity and all of the things that they did should have died with them. and then you pick up the pieces and move on with your life. you don't -- you don't wallow in what they did and go over and over and over. you -- it's buried and it's gone when they die. and that's the end of that. >> peter: that's such a good way to put it, carl. i mean it's exactly right. he was buried. he was gone. the families that lost limbs and loved ones they had a chance to just move on. it's no longer about this this bomber, this murderer this terrorist. it's no longer about him. he's gone. he's buried. and they can start moving forward. but now when you have lawmakers and residents in doswell, virginia, who are saying, oh oh

peter fenn, but first. what have you got peter? >> some other headlines making news, washington redskins robert griffin iii is getting married first week in july. most of his wedding gifts have been purchased off of his registry by people not even attending his wedding. u.s.a. today reports after the media uncovered rgiii and his fiance were registered his fans started buying up the wedding gifts. he tweeted out a photo of a roomful of boxes in his house yesterday saying a big thank you to his fans. and there are not many items left to purchase. if you would like to get rgiii a wedding gift, you can do so. >> if you are following him on twitter, our friend cindy boren was tweet being this. he issponding to some of the fans. so the rgiii, did you get that beef jerky maker i will send to you? he would say, yeah, we got it. thanks so much. beef jerky maker, humidifiers and all of this kind of crap. >> yeah. a warehouse: probably open his own store. >> former congressman allen west, if you were worried, he's got a new job. the tea part

. >>> our next guest chief deputy peter roscum of illinois had heated exchanges. here's one example. please listen. >> what day did the conversation take place? >> i'd have to look back on my notes on that, sir. >> you have notes on that? >> i'd have to try to find them. >> why did you say you had notes if you don't think you have notes. >> sir, please. please. >> do have you notes or done you have notes? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. joining us now is congressman peter ross, cum, the interesting thing about this is everybody from the irs lies to congress. all the main people have lied to congress. in some cases for a couple years. so you're asking this guy miller about notes is a ge main and relevant question. >> look, this guy today, larry, completely underperformed. here's, if i were the irs, this

they want to sit down at the patient could tell you with a rationally to tell you peter peter you asked a question i answered go ahead i wish i wish i could tell you that the united states could just pick up the phone to the king of saudi arabia and stop saudi support of salafi jihadi. wahhabi factions in that war

melissa: peter, peter, peter, peter, hang on, let someone else talk. >> they will note a able to stop. melissa: have to close his mic. let me ask you, it is predicated on interest rates going back up. i don't see that happening anytime soon. >> it is not happening soon. if itappened, it will only happen because of inflation, right? which would inflate rents and home prices. that is why they're doing it to hedge investments. homeownership rates are --. melissa: hang on. let him finish. i total. >> i totally believe in bubbles when everyone is enthusiastic and homeownership at 1995 levels, it has fallen several percent there is not boom by consumers borrowing money at ninja loans. that is cash investor. that is not a bubble. melissa: that is it, for everybody, and it was spirited. it is over, thank you. what a joint decision you can still get fired for smoking marijuana in colorado even though it is legal. dish network employee brandon coats was fired after he tested positive for the drug despite having a medical marijuana license. coats is suing dish. that is a shocker. state court say

peter barnes, thank you. ashley: does the iris make a case for a flat tax which are marked my next guest seems to think so. steve forbes joining us now. you have made a name for your self calling for a flat tax. you even tweeted responding to rupert murdoch. it makes perfect case for flat tax. nothing could be fair and abuse free. >> absolutely. they can go after anyone. you can literally do it in a few strokes on the keyboard or a single page. you can do the same thing on the business side. simplicity is the best enemy of the abuse of power. lori: does anyone achieve this status? >> the nice thing about the flat tax is with the low rate, you do not have these deductions anymore. you do not have to worry about what is a mortgage, what is a home office, and less you have a small business. the terms of the charities, the contributions are tax free. that is where the irs gets power. under the flat tax, that goes away. many worry that this will be the end of charities. people have more and they give more. that is

cheryl: peter, stay here.t you brought up the issue of syria and the fact that that is something that really has taken a backseat on the front page of every newspaper. can the president focus effectively on what is happening overseas while he has a crisis of confidence at home from his own party? peter: it pushes the president's agenda out of the line. the president is trying to have conversations with the american people about gun legislation, immigration reform, budget policy, but when he has to come out and make a statement because of the irs scandal, that is what is leading the nightly news and that is what is on c-span. it is a distraction for the white house and it is doing everything they can to get this off the table so the president can go back to business. dennis: even democrats have come out and condemn some of the latest scandals. we had a guest yesterday that said democrats could abandon the president. don't they have all the force to get behind the president instead of criticizing the president?

peter? >> kristen welker, safe travels. we'll talk to you soon. >> thank you. >>> we turn to the developing news we were telling you about this morning. the jobs report. mark zandy the chief jobs report for moody's. thanks for your time. these aren't necessarily strong numbers, but certainly better than expected. what is your headline from this new jobs report? >> it's relief. i think a pleasant surprise. not only that the job growth, i think job growth is slowing, but not as much as fears and we saw that decline in the unemployment rate and this time it happened because of stronger job growth. all in all, i take a lot of optimism away from it. i think the economy is hanging tough. >> nearly three years since we saw the kind of revisions we saw in this report, particularly from february. if you combine from february, march, more than 110,000 jobs that were actually add aed there. why were the original numbers so far off and what does that tell us, actually, about the last several months? >> the data is based on an incomplet

they want to sit down at the patient could tell you would be rationally to tell you peter peter you asked a question i answered go ahead i wish i wish i could tell you that the united states could just pick up the phone to the king of saudi arabia and stop saudi support of salafi jihadi. wahhabi factions in that war and fortunately this saudis are flush with cash they have so much money just like the qataris they support their own militia and the qataris support the other militias so you have a confrontation in a proxy war not just between the sunni's and the shias not just between the saudis and the arabians or the qataris and the iranians but between qatar and saudi arabia and a lot of people don't understand that that confrontation has nothing to do with the united states it is a local air raby and peninsula interests. conflict between brothers is essentially and that is another factor that that particular conflict is going on and plays out as a proxy war in syria just like there is a proxy war between iran and the saudis on the other hand you know bill you want to jump in there i thin

he painted saint peter as a confused and frightened old man...he virgin, in life, as a neighborhood housewe. the virgin in death he painted as a swollen, careworn corpse. the painting was rejected by monks who commissioned it. never had they seen the virgin mary represented as dead rather than dying. caravaggio was rebelliagains such as this conversion of saint paul by taddeo zuccaro. this was the conventional way in which divine intervention on earth was portrayed, like a fabulous dream, but caravaggio sought to draw the beholder in, to make the worshiper a participant in the drama enacted on the canvas. in a small chapel in the church of santa maria del popolo in rome, caravaggio's conversion of saint paul depicts the intrusion of the divine into human life as a real moment meant to be seen from the perspective of someone kneeling in prayer. a contemporary commented that it looked like an accident in a blacksmith's shop. caravaggio, in the spirit of the counter reformation saints, was pleading through his pictures for man's direct knowledge of

peter maybe here later to answer any transit questions. he's working on the water front project >> peter is coming to this meeting later on? >> and then a final question i think some of the warriors folks know that i am san francisco's represent to ac/dc. i understand there were some larger design moves that were used to address the concerns and you briefly alluded th to them to address issues discussed by the staff. i think there are 3. >> one had to do with the amount of open space at pier level and any other time missing the open spice. so the walkways were widened and the southern edge of the pier in the original design there was a large chunk of the pier was removed that was a architectural issue but it was from the most desirable sunlight plays last and it was not removed that whole southern edge - the second issue we got was from the kayaking people that the tiled action in this area would not be suitable so keeping the edge suitable for public gathering was something at the pucs urging. and talking about the fire boat and fire stat

peter. [ grunts ] peter: the jet exploded. roe: neal caffrey is a felon.

right now. >> so i'll ask you, do you agree, peter?certainly are rocking along right now, growing at about 2.5%, although there's a lot of danger signs out there. we have very high underemployment among recent high school and college graduates. we're not facing the kind of crisis right now, our nose is not to the window, but we have the warning signs, and we're doing the very same things the italians and the spaniards did ten years ago. they didn't react appropriately, and now they're paying the piper. sooner or later, that will catch up with us, even though we print the world's money, at some point, the world will say, no, we don't take your money anymore. someone else will do the printing for us. >> richard, last word. >> i think -- yeah, in a strictly academic sense, peter is right. but he conveniently overlooks certainly flexibility issues of the u.s. economy. and the mobility of labor. a single market that works much better, a single digital market which the europeans don't have. so perhaps in a theoret kk sense, but we're a long

peter doocy has that live from washington. peter? >> reporter: and jon, we can now confirm with a source who has knowledge of these arrests three additional suspects have been taken into custody, have been arrested in connection with the boston marathon bombing. this comes two weeks and two days after the initial attack right here on boylston street in the block behind me. we don't have any details about where these arrests took place, who they were but this certainly fits in with the narrative we've heard for the last few days. some people, some lawmakers and some law enforcement experts said it did seem to them like there's a possibility these tsarnaevs did not act alone. we do not have any other information. this actually originated with a tweet from the boston police department that just said three additional suspects have been taken into custody and that details were going to follow. we were able to confirm just that month, just with a source with knowledge of the arrests that three more people. so there are the tsarnaevs. one i

peter barnes live in washington with the latest, peter?> here's a preview for you, connell, a the lot of central bank speak today, starting with the chairman at the economic club of new york speaking in an hour from now, sounded a bit critical of ben bernanke's easing money policies warning exiting the fed's $3 trillion in quantitative easing bond purchases will be hard especially in inflation climbs, quote, saying, there is no central bank that i know of exhibited the capacity for that kind of fine tuning, he told an audience at the atlantic economic summit here in washington in mar. the spokesman says we'll talk about the economy and monetary policy saying this will be, quote, a complicated speech. i think we might see news today on his thoughts on the future of qe and monetary policy. now, one of the fed's big supporters of qe is also speaking in the next hour, and eric, the president of tte federal reserve bank of boston, a voting member this year, and we'll also hear from a fed copy cat in japan who is the new head of the bank of japa

welcome back to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter about to mind you we're discussing events unfolding in iraq. we still have kelly and grant michael decided to leave the program i guess he didn't like the questions grant you want to jump in right now all right you know yeah peter this is the problem in the united states we don't have rough and tumble conversations like this between informed analysts so you know i'm not surprised that michael hamlin decided to leave but you know let's just think about his think tank is a microcosm of the iraq invasion problem in two thousand and two the brookings institution was a centrist progressive think tank that didn't have a strong line about iraq what happened early spring of two thousand and two israeli american media mogul haim so bond moved in carved out this a bond center at brookings by paying thirty million dollars and suddenly martin in the uk and all of the people that unit war on the war path for going into iraq and so a person like o'hanlon who's been flip flopping about was that good was it bad he no longer has much o

>> i will ask peter to take that question. >> great question. the idea is how fast can we get the ship out of there to get the special event in there. and special event usage at a cruise terminal is a relatively new occurrence in north america. we hear examples of ships sailed in the afternoon and events that evening. it's our goal, and elaine said we had very conservative estimates and assumptions in our modeling. as we get in there operating we will try to maximize the turn-around as we can. we would like to have that, after the ship sails at 4 p.m. and work like heck and get it turned around and make more revenue. >> my back of the napkin calculation, it looks like we will make more revenue from the events than the capacity security charge. >> my own goal is to have as many ships as we can. and to be open at 365. >> along that line, how far in the advance do the cruise lines notify us they are coming? that's a problem for event planners. >> the good news is that we have 90% of the calls booked at least a year in advance. we are getting our ca

peter, new york city council aid prove a new law in the city. it is veto proof even though mayor bloomberg wanted to reject it, requiring employers to give sick days to companies that don't do it. thought it would be something to work out with employees, if you don't like the no sick y policy, get another employer. what do you think?. >> i think it is a terrible idea. the government is legislating the contract that exists between the worker and employer. new york city is extraordinarily competitive labor market for those hourly workers. those are the ones who benefit from it. the employers have to make the best deal they can to get good labor to work in places like manhattan. i think this is needless intrusion in the bargaining process and it's a terrible idea and it is another example of new york making itself less competitive than it should be. dennis: nicely put. richard, what do you think of this i thin it is hard on small business. >> i don't necessary disagree. we are in new york. it is very liberal and democratic and that is the way it wi

>> all right, peter alexander tonight. peter, thank you. >>> in moore, oklahoma, darkened skies again today as the first funerals were held for the 24 victims of monday's tornado, 10 of them children. for the survivors, this is also a day to reconnect and start moving forward again. nbc's janet shamlian joins us now from moore. hey, janet, good evening. >> reporter: ann, good evening to you. it's just what they didn't need here, thunderstorms and flooding, putting this community on edge and shutting down cleanup efforts for several hours. and it came on a day when students and parents were taking their first steps towards something resembling normal. the children of moore, oklahoma, headed back to school today, days after the tornado ripped through two of their buildings, killing seven of their classmates. >> how are you, sweetheart? >> we talk to each other and we just got to say hi to each other again. >> reporter: students from the two devastated schools were sent to other schools for the final assembly, a chance for cl

peter can explain it to us. >> i don't know. that's not why we called peter here. peter gets up, he wakes up, he's on his off day, right? he says we're going to come in and throw this stuff at him. peter, what we wanted to talk about first of all and then you can respond to this, everybody will be talking about it -- >> sure, i'm hanging out. >> just hanging out. >> let's talk about yesterday, though. you really had i think a white house aggressive on all fronts really trying to counter some of the republican attacks. >> yeah. i was among those journalists sitting in the rose garden yesterday and i said to andrea mitchell at the time on msnbc this really was the perfect metaphor for what the last week has looked like for this white house. we were sitting out there, the president was late by 49 minutes to come out to the rose garden -- >> nothing with counting -- >> with the prime minister. for those who say there's been a lag time in terms of his response that was a metaphor as well. the dark clouds were swirling and it started to rain as the president walked out.

so i think -- i have to ask, peter, where are we today?well, i think where we are today is pretty well represented in a one page that came out of the meeting. the first word i like, it says consensus. that is a good word. i'm going to briefly mention, sort of the four points that were in that, if that's ok? i will -- i try to say it in english, i've been a teach are for a long time. the key part was, there's been quotes in the press before we met that this thing was going to die. it was going to blow up that week. instead, the key languages, there was sufficient progress in the meeting and that was signed on by the privacy people in the room, the advertising people, the browser people, that was the room. i think it is interesting to note. they said look, we're not abandoning this thing. we should go forward. the first one is about audience measurement or market research. here's why this is here. is .a.a. and mike's group very much apart about it. they put out the code of good practices and they said there were collection limits. but there

peter, let me ask you this. the economic policy institute economist today reported that there are still 8.6 million jobs missing from the u.s. economy when you factor in population growth. at this rate, it will take about five more years to get back to prerecession job market. is that a good pace or does that get into the two slow recovery territory? >> that's complimentary to what we've been talking about. if we continue to grow at the pace we're at, it will take some five to seven years, if ever, to get unemployment down to an acceptable level. if we had 6 to 7% unemployment, the kind is terrible. about half the college graduates working as baristas or walmart or something like that. we're really not putting them properly to work. and that's very, very disturbing, too. while i am hardly soul mates with them, really, i'm not. it has to be taken seriously. i think the number are serious number that have to be given some credibility. >> fun as always. >> keep it clean out there. >> i am here in the gambling capit

[applause] his 10 minute address. >> it is my honor to introduce ur honorary speaker peter king of new york. thank you very much. let me first of all, congratulate today's graduates. i wish you continued success. based upon the outstanding education you have received at st. john's the lasting friendships you have formed the enriching experiences you have shared and the life lessons you have learned at this great university. we also commend and thank the father for his many years of dedicated service and for all of the accomplished in leading st. john's university to ever higher academic heights. it is an honor for me to be your speaker and to receive the honorary degree. as someone who grew up in new york city, queens, this moment is particularly meaningful to me. i'm well aware that some of you are more enthusiastic than others. that is what separates our country and our society from so much of the rest of the world. americans welcome the clash of ideas. they are not afraid to listen to opinions and ideas other than our own. we encourage free speech and do not attempt to silence those

peter, let's start with that developing news that we just got in the last few minutes concerning the irs scandal and the fact that we could have a new person named head in a brief period of time, maybe later today. >> that's exactly right. i just learned that the president will appoint a new acting irs commissioner this week according to the white house. that person, of course, will replace the present acting irs commissioner, steven miller, would just yesterday the president announced said he would resigned as he was asked to by treasury secretary jack lew at the urging of president obama. we don't know anything more specific about whether a permanent irs commissioner would be named. senior administration officials acknowledge that will be a tough process. they have to find somebody pretty good to fill this role that we'll be able to get through confirmation on the hill. but they recognized the need for that person to be someone who has bipartisan support, a top cop type of individual, perhaps a republican name that people are familiar with, someone who can put an end to this issue.

will continue well into two thousand and fourteen i spoke with peter schiff c.e.o. of euro pacific capital about how long interest rates can remain low and facilitate current u.s. deficit spending given the president's announcement today about the possibility of chemical weapons in syria.

following welcome the cross talk for all things are considered i'm peter lavelle suicide bombings sectarian strife central authorities losing control and a great sense of despair in the lack of enfranchise from not only describing syria but also iraq the recent spike two bombings and terror attacks in iraq have many concerned the country could collapse into civil war it would appear this part of the world has no shortage of shock and awe as result of western backed military interventions. cross-talk iraq i'm joined by my guests in washington michael o'hanlon he's a senior fellow at the brookings institution. journalist at antiwar dot com and we also have grant smith he is director of institute for research middle eastern policy right cross talk rules in effect i mean you can jump in anytime you want kelli i'm going to cut to the chase is iraq going into civil war sectarian civil war well as we've seen in the last week or so we've seen an alliance with the sunni . factions in iraq with the al qaeda backed factions in syria so we are starting to see what worse peaceful sunni protests in iraq
