he along with mayor rahm emanuel was at the workshop called doca.evered action for childhood arrival. the young people were applying for reprieve from deportation as well as seeking to receive access to temporary work permits. he equated the civil rights struggle to the struggle for immigration rights. >> i think it's a great time to be here because 50 years ago we're commemorating 50 years ago, a quarter of a million people marched on washington, d.c. for jobs and for fairness and for justice. and i have a voice in the congress of the united states because those people fought. >> it has been a year since president obama signed an executive order protecting dream act eligible people from being deported. >> words of encouragement from governor pat quinn at a south side job fair. he visited the soon to open fullman park retail development park. >> more than anything make sure the employers know you have that work ethic, you have the act to do whatever necessary to get the job done. >> the job fair attracted more than 100 people. the development park i

. >> rahm emanuel thinks that we all are toys. >> we have put the teachers in the crosshairs and madehem the villain. luckily for america, michele bachmann has announced she is not going to be seeking a fifth term in the united states house. >> i haven't had a gaffe or something that i've done that has caused me to fall in the polls. >> you heard it from michele bachmann herself. if we pray the gay away, america will survive. who in this country should align themselves with a political party that would advocate discrimination? >> what the left does, they make it uncomfortable for students who come to austin to shower at a young men's christian association, ymca gym, because they live it. >> what? if republicans think we're ready to say yes to the vest, they can keep on pretending. >> left, left. kick one time. kick, kick, now kick, oh, walk it by yourself. >>> ladies and gentlemen, ed schultz! >> we have some breaking news here on "the ed show" tonight. conservatives are angry with me. righ righties are upset because i correctly said that republicans trashed the city of detroit. >> th

my competitive spirit with mayor bloomberg in new york, rahm emanuel in chicago, we're always exchanging information about you got this, you got that. our staffs and our department heads do the same. , and so, we're always saying, they did this. how come we can't do that? and the message gets shared with neighborhood leaders as well ~. so, i get this a lot from neighborhood leaders, how come we don't have wi-fi in all of our parks? how come you always concentrate on golden gate, for example, but not on balboa? these are the kind of things i think we're wanting to make a statement on. i think, for example, our police department a we're working on with technology, another good example. one of these days we're going to have officers be able to dot reports while they're in their vehicles in the streets rather than coming back to their stations and spending 2 or 3 hours trying to do all the reports ~. we're working on that right now. but, you know, i think any city who needs the resources at their highest performance will look towards technology to help us reduce what we're doing today that c

chicago mayor rahm emanuel spent part of money visiting two chicago public schools and says the cityemains committed to the children's safety. >> i believe every child to live up to their full potential, every adult must live up to their responsibility. >> reporter: yet recent shootings sparked public concern about children's safety. community organizer g2 brown says the threat is real. >> they can't predict what is going to happen. that's why you see murders along these safe passage routes. would would roll the dice -- who would roll the dice and put children at risk, the possibility of young people walking a route where there have been murders? your camera wasn't looking, there were just two prostitutes walking right down the street past us. who would make children cross that in order to go to school? that to set a child up for failure, to put a child in harm's way is evil. it's not even about bad policy. it's saying that have disdain for you. >> reporter: do you feel the community was left out of the process? >> yes, i do. i feel that they just went in and decided to do what they

i like watching rahm emanuel who we all watched here in washington and the white house, grappling withem that's got to be solved. you know, he's taking on the teachers union and got bloodied but chicago is a good -- i was there over the weekend. sort of sense if you can make public education work in chicago, that problem for the country is solvable. >> let us hope. >> it says something, what's a safer place to go to school, kabul or chicago? in terms of the security around schools. just incredible. >> wow. >> again, i don't understand why chicago seems to be -- i know like you said, there's violence in every city, but you look at new york and you look at a lot of other cities across the country. >> doesn't compare. >> things have gotten so much better since the early 1990s. but for chicago it seems to keep getting worse. >> i mean, chicago police right now are trying to do a lot of innovative stuff, using data and computing to deal with this. perhaps the one silver lining of this terrible story the fact it is getting people talking about the fact you've still got the feed to create saf

in chicago, that dilemma falls to democratic operative mayor rahm emanuel from whom unions are more likely to accept bad news. >> they're looking at a democratic office holder and saying i know you wouldn't be doing this to me if it wasn't absolutely necessary. >> reporter: not that that makes it any easier, and longer life spans means the problem will only get bigger. >> numbers get exponentially large and it exceeds the ability to pay. >> reporter: whatever happens in chicago and other states, there's a debate about how serious the problem is nationally. one analyst argues pensions are getting healthier, funds having grown by a trillion dollars since 2008. >> most importantly in terms of sustainability, 47 states since 2009 have made reforms, changes to their pension plans to ensure their sustainability. >> reporter: he argues pensions should be seen like home mortgages. >> if you buy a $300,000 home and put 20% down, effectively you're 80% underfunded. but we don't freak out about that number because what is more important, can we make that monthly payment. >> reporter: others know plac

. >> rahm emanuel is the current mayor of chicago. part of that generational change is mayor daley step down after a long legacy in chicago. there have been a lot of parallels between what it chicago is dealing with and what michael bloomberg has been able to do in new york. what is the difference? if bloomberg and his police commissioner would say their ability to use stop and frisk has been a major element in reducing crime, the democratic candidates and many of the critics would say that is not the case. there are more complicated factors that have led to the continued decline in crime. one of the interesting things about the poll about bloomberg's only a minority of voters believe that crime has gone down under mayor bloomberg. even though, in fact, it has. it may be contributing to the debate over stop and frisk and the fact that the republican candidates or somebody or arguingg are doing -- that pulling back from stop and frisk will increase crime. that is running up against this reality that people do not think crime has gone d

it was rahm emanuel, your mayor, who was chief of staff to obama that lobbied on the hill to do this. you have liberals that wrote this bill. you talk about nationalized health care, and we are the only nation and now we caught up, but the bottom line is you have had leaders from other countries that have come to america to get treatment at the mayo clinic, to get checkups, and the prime minister of italy, so if our health care system is so bad, and was so bad and truman kicked the can down the road to obama and the fact is we needed health care reform, you have actually lessened the system if you have the irs chief that doesn't want the program. >> i was not talking about a nationalized plan. don't put words in my mouth. >> please, explain. >> no, no, let me explain. i am not talking about a nationalized plan, i am saying to create a floor beneath to which nobody can fall, but the individual mandate, i disagree with that. if people want to be able to buy premium programs they ought to be able to do that, but the fact is the news reports did tell us, angela, that these health insuranc

the former ceo of chicago public schools says mayor rahm emanuel is a micro-manager.n-claude brizard said emanuel needs to learn to let go and allow his managers to lead. brizard made his comments in an interview with the fordham institute. he is currently employed on the east coast as an adviser at the college board which adminsiters the s-a-t exam. brizard also said he and the mayor underestimated the ability of the chicago teahcers union to lead a massive grassroots campaign and go on strike, the first time the union did so in 25 years. a mayoral spokeswoman released a statement saying the administration appreciated brizard's service while here and that the focus now is on the first day of school next week. summer vacation ends and the school years begins on monday for chicago public schools students. thousands of kids will head to new schools, thanks to a historic number of closures. the c-p-s transition team met for the last time today to discuss the improvements at the so-called "welcoming schools." 41 buildings along "safe passage" routes were demolished and mo

movement has captured a big portion of the democratic party, education secretary arnie duncan, rahm emanuel one of the biggest shut down of public schools in the country. why does this have any rooting in the democratic party, which is supposed to be the party that is for the little guy? >> well, that's a good question. i think the drivers of this movement and it's been kind of a marriage of convenience of technology companies, of republican anti union types, of big wall street donors, they've come together in a very sophisticated reform movement, set up foundations and connected themselves to both parties. you see wall street money pumping into the campaigns of any democratic that seeks to push for privatization for high stakes testing, for an expansion of charter schools and they've done a very good job of co opting democrats. one of the biggest groups, education reform now, their subsidiary is a group called democratics for education reform. i think there's no coincidence that these are many of the same types of people. >> let's turn to jeff basos who you wrote about obviously in the new

today really is very different from the one that opened last year and it has been reshaped in rahm emanuel'sion. 47 fewer elementary schools. about 2,000 fewer workers. as you say, 12,000 students are going to new elementary schools. what are called the welcoming schools in the system. displaced by those 47 closures. and because of the violence in chicago, because of the gun violence on the streets, although the chicago police statistics show, and correctly, that murders are down by about 25% from last year, shootings are down by about 25% from last year. murders are on a pace to be at the lowest level since 1965. but there are still violent incidents on the streets. so to protect those kids who are going to new schools, a lot of them crossing gang territory, crossing over gang turf, borderlines, they have implemented a safe passage program. it's about $11.4 million. they're taking city workers, not just police, but water, sewer workers, parking enforcement, city workers and also community activists, to be on these routes they've designated to be safe. they've boarded up abandoned houses on

i know, you know, mayor rahm emanuel and all the city leaders are trying to do something about it.'ve brought in 600 people to help escort kids to school, but there's some 400,000 schoolchildren there. that's not going to help very much. >> escorting kids to school, safe passage is very, very important. but we need to get to the root of the problem and what we all need to realize, the american public, we hold the solution in our hands by holding our elected officials responsibility. expanded background checks like the bill that congress -- the senate voted against back in march could do a lot to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and off our streets. so we need to realize the role that policy can play here and that the role that the american public can play by making their voice matter in terms of impacting policy and that's why we created this website voices against violence.com to let the american public sign for the first time a petition with their actual voices and say that their voice matters. it's things like that where we bring the voice to the marine public to -- ameri

this school year opens with a district reshaped in rahm emanuel's vision as he tries to revamp this schooltem. 47 fewer elementary schools opening today than opened last year. there are about 2,000 fewer employees, including teachers. 12,000 students because of the school closures, are taking longer walks to school and sometimes crossing dangerous gang turf. and because of that, there is a new program called save passage, trying to identify safe routes for these children to their new schools. lining these roots, along these roots, not only police, but city workers, water, sewer workers and parking enforcement workers, all eyes and ears to watch these routes for violence, to listen to the kids, to listen to their concerns. there are a number of community activists groups taking part in this program and budgeted for 11.4 million. already the police has been paying overtime, a big overtime bill because of the violence issue in chicago. although the police will point out that shootings are down about 25% from last year. murders are down about 25% from last year. the city is on pace to have the
