host: let's hear from pittsburgh.aller: i would like to ask the gentleman -- i understand most of the companies have voted to the south and do not offer health care. hguest: we all for a comprehensive set of benefits to our employees including health care, including company cars, we treat our employees with a great deal of respect. caller: i did not know about bmw. guest: i think if we are asking our employees to deliver premium vehicles, we need to deliver premium compensation packages. host: that was the democratic live from pittsburgh. what about the american car companies and the benefit problems they ran into the last several years? what is the bmw experience? what is the history of that? guest: when we came here, we came here with a european standard in mind. we tried to transfer many benefits we offer employees in europe. that's what we have done. in europe, health care is subsidized by the government. it wasn't, so we have subsidized the health care for our employees. host: reston, va., on our independent line

less than that as we get towards pittsburgh, sort of in that general 1 to 2 inch range. syracuse for us, we could be measuring over a foot and lesser amounts as we move our way back into new england. looks like portland, maine, to boston, an additional 1 to 2 inches of snow for us. the story is going to be the wind here. starting to wind down a bit, but in the meantime you can see the time stamp as we head into sunday in the early afternoon, we're talking winds 20 to 25 miles per hour out there. we have to wait on this big system to slide it ways on off toward the east, move away from the coast, and as we get into tonight, overnight into tuesday, those winds start to calm down a bit for us, now getting into the 10 to 15 mile an hour range. still a breezy time for us, still very cold and also a very snowy as well for a lot of folks across a lot of the u.s. steve? >> alex wallace at the weather channel, alex, thanks for the report. >>> still ahead, it's a new year, but is it a new normal at the gas pumps? we will look at what is in store for your wallet overall in 2010. >>

to have this kind of forum where a discussion can take place and the decision was been made in pittsburgh in september we need to have a bit more formalized, and a change of name. it remains an institution which the -- the role of which is mainly to take together others. the institution itself is 15 people. but, to take people together, the international association of insurance on the other side and accounting and all these kinds of things including the imf and try to see together what kind of cross-experience we may have. so it's useful and of course there is overlap between what the fsb is doing and what the imf is doing but not that much. basically the idea is that fsb has to think about regulations and provide the regulations and design the regulations and then if adopted they have to be implemented, and it goes to the national parliament and then comes the role of the imf which is to make sure it is correctly implemented in the countries and so we have a clear cooperation, again, always there is overlap and discussion about borders but basically it goes well. >> next question from..

the most famous is pittsburgh steelers all-pro safety troy polamalu.lifornia to samoan parents, his name is on two super bowl trophies. >> troy polamalu: what if there were 120 million samoans, you know? how many samoans would there... then there be in the n.f.l.? >> pelley: if there were 120 million samoans, it might be the national samoan football league. >> polamalu: that would be interesting yeah. >> pelley: polamalu may well be the most versatile defensive player in the league-- smart, fast, and a hell of a hitter. what does football mean to a kid growing up on samoa? >> polamalu: its our meal ticket, you know. just like any marginalized ethnic group, you know, if you don't make it to the n.f.l., what do you have to go back to? >> pelley: a lot of these kids would never go to college if it wasn't for a scholarship with football. >> polamalu: that's the beautiful thing about football-- it's allowed us to get an education. football is something that comes naturally to us >> pelley: fair to say football has never been more important to the island tha

shooting in the amish schoolhouses a few years ago or more recently the killing in the sports club in pittsburgh, women were absolutely targeted and executed. bob herbert was the rare mainstream journalist to write about this in an op-ed piece, the first one that he did, and he did a second one. the first one was called, "why aren't we shocked?" mr. herbert said if it was any other group, if it had been black people or white people or christian people or muslim people separated out and slaughtered, we would have been in an uproar. but we weren't shocked. nobody noted it. you know why? because we're so accustomed to violence against women in this country. every year between four and six million women are assaulted by their domestic partners. and unless you're a celebrity like the late swim suit model jasmine fiori who was murdered by her husband, we don't hear about the three women every single day who are killed in america. and violence is spreading to teen relationships also. there's not just an uptick according to steve frazier from st. paul/minneapolis who works with the family violence unit,

the largest 20 economies of the world now which recently had their summit with president obama in pittsburgh. it is a major point for tourism and business. turkey is also has opened a political system as you can find in the muslim world. is not perfect but better than most others. it is not secularism that brought turkey to where it is. where turkey has gone is because turkey integrated into the global economy and ironically, the muslim middle class part of turkey that has led the way. how did this happen? turkey in 1970 and 80s was a bankrupt economy much like brazil and argentina and mexico and did exactly what they did. they asked for help. they said the same thing to turkey as other countries which was to change the economy. you cannot protect these large industries with paris and poor money into them. you have to let them die and put into what the rest of the world was willing to buy. the secular elite businessman, they were dependent on government handouts and government support. the ones who were going to take up this mandate were those not protected by the government which was small-

joining me from pittsburgh via skype, editor of edmondsautoobserver.com. >> happy new year. >> your websited top worst deals in 2009. let's start with the hyundai insurance program. what is it? >> hyundai assurance is sort of a guarantee, if you will, that if you lose your job or you have some other drastic life altering event and you've bought a new car, a new hyundai within the last year, you can give it back. and walk away from the payments. and at a time when, you know, i'd say anxiety about employment is probably a national epidemic right now, it's a deal that really resonated with buyers this year. >> you also really like the idea of paperless auto manuals. what's so great about that? >> well, do you read your auto manual, chris? >> i have tried in the past, it's not that easy to navigate, honestly. >> i know, it's not. and it's a lot of paper, right? there's a lot of paper that gets thrown into the glove compartment of each and every car every year, right? those people never take a look at their owner's manual. so chrysler decided, let's put them on dvd. if you're interested or want

you are not just going to do one night in philadelphia because you want to hear from voters in pittsburgh and you want to hear not just men and women but you need to talk to black men and black women and some combination of white men, hispanic men. where you are not just doing one night. you are spreading it out. you are talking to different areas. and it depends on how much media you are doing and the entire side of the campaign. and there are a lot of times also again with bigger states that you will do the baseline a couple of months later and something will happen. some issue will hit the national scene, it was something that no one saw coming, you don't know the answers, you need to go back and figure out what people are thinking about this, what you need to say that you need to say to make sure you are bringing in the swing voters, independent voters and not upset the people that are against you. so these things tend to come up and you want the flexibility to be able to do that. because again the more information you have going into the fight the better you are going to do. and it i

borrow from the nfl, the ruling rule, which some of you may know, named after the then head of the pittsburgh steelers, one of the most revered men in football. he said that when a coach is being hired there has to be among the elite at least some of minority candidates. you just have to talk to them. he just have to hear them. that is all. give them a chance. of course the steelers were already well along on that path, but the rule has been a great success. i'm suggesting that supreme court justices, even if they still are the one to make the decision ought to have to consult with somebody, and we could then work out with whom. i think the ruling will is the way to go. beyond what happens in the high court the big move we need to make, and this is not just to give any reality to caperton, but even more so because of citizens united. this is therefore more than judicial. we need better disclosure of funding sources of so-called independence spenders than we have. most states that do have any law on this, the law is an obsolete. it uses the magic words, trigger. at least since o'connell window

tom, of pittsburgh, pennsylvania. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call.rnanke and his predecessor, john bolten is hardly someone that you would want to quote. his self-interest are well-known and he is an anti-american salad. he has no credibility at all most knowledgeable americans. but we live in a capitalistic society. capital being cash money. ben bernanke, alan greenspan, the bankers that control our economy, they have very little interest in pursuing a policy that is advantageous to the american people. they are about using large sums of money to wield little influence. and the apathy and the lethargy that the american people are attacking this issue with, they seem more concerned with football scores an irrelevancy that the mass media puts in front of them to distract them. front of them to distract them. the only boat out of office every one of these fakes

mean, sure, my grandfather worked for the same company for 20 some odd years in the steel mills of pittsburgh, maybe 30 years, i don't know. but he worked for the same company his whole life. nothing's permanent any more. the stock market goes south, you have banks going out of business. it's just the way people in america live. i don't think anything i've done propelled or inhibited it, i don't think now. i don't feel any -- any responsibility for this mess at all. >> it really started getting heated in 2004, 2005. the mortgage rates kept dropping for prime mortgages, you know, the ones that most people get and that made the others much more valuable, because they offered much more yield. when you have that much cash flow that's extra, you can siphon off a whole lot more fees and that is, you know, it's all about money. >> why did you go to mark pittman? >> because mark pittman, it was -- you know, when you're trying to explain this stuff in a film, you really -- you want to take it slowly and mark was very, very good at explaining how these things worked and, therefore, i wanted to start wi
