a job of the future, does rahm emanuel think a longer school day is the crucial place to start? city fought for the longer day? what city succeeded largest increase in school time not only during the year, but also towards, two weeks towards the end and the reason i was nutty enough to jump in the lake is because we have this thing calmed the summer of learning and the kids in the city of chicago, $2 million in the summer. that's why i jumped in the lake. i challenged them, and they did it. >> some sap the quality education, good enough to have them their longer, it's got to be enrichment, other stuff? >> through the longer day, we pick between math and music. we don't pick. between arts and arithmetic. our kids get art and arithmetic. i won't put words in scott's mouth, i'm sure what they look for is not just a person in engineering. you're looking for an employee who is well-rounded and like all of us, the complete education you're having and what we have to provide is the type of services, education to make sure the kids of the city of chicago can actually come and work here.

rahm emanuel needs to come down here and talk to the people, communicate with them. >> passionate debatesing new for mayor emanuel. >> when i was growing up, we were a family about politics. our family dinners were a slugfest over politics. it became so violent, and i mean violent, screaming, yelling. my grandfather would slam the table, that our german shepherd grabbed his hand because he was raising it towards my mother. my father took us out of the room and said, it's just a family dispute. >> each side is convinced that they're fighting for the survival of chicago's public schools. >> you cannot govern our communities and lock our voices out and say we know what's best for you. >> mr. mayor, where you at! >> what i can do is receive the materials and give them to everybody in here. >> is the mayor in chicago? >> the mayor is in chicago. >> the mayor is no stranger to crisis. >> i get to the white house with president clinton. within seven months, i had fallen on the wrong side of the first lady. not a smart idea. i was notified i was going to be fired. but i just said, i'm not leaving

a cnn reality-type series called "chicagoland" turned into a pretty nice platform for rahm emanuel. >talking to this young man, martel, and he was so engaging. he's a wonderful kid. there's something about his personality, and i'm taken with it, and i'm trying to help him knuckle down and buckle down for college. >> well, now we know why "the chicago tribune" obtaining e-mails from the production company working with cnn talking to the democrat mayor's aide pitching a positive portrayal. our need for deeper access to show the best of who he really is and present him as the star that he really is. he want more of rahm in the series. rahm will look good making his points. executive producer mark levin who partnered with robert redford says you can't get access in chicago without having to do a certain dance. the end result is what is called myth-making and a re-election campaign vehicle for rahm. cnn not dissipating the e-mails said the mayor's office was never granted editorial control over the content or communications and no agency was ever granted authority to offer the mayor's offi

mayor rahm emanuel questioned that saying it's not the weather, weather you have values. and the chicago tribune agreed, asking on the editorial page is chicago repless. >> we are seeing a superficial article featuring the mayor, police chief, a romantizizing of chicago, ignoring poverty and disparity. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction, reducing life options, undermining a will to fund education, weakens the body and mind. it matters. unemployment matters. lack of access to jobs and training matters. schools and hospitals and trauma units, and post offices all of this matters. unless there is some welfare l.b.j. reviving poverty. that - it's the cause, not just of the effect. it's horrible, horrible - with us, chicago, it's the fear for the international drug trade war. the guns are targetting chicago, and jobs leaving chicago in those zones, we know where they are coming from and the gun, and we know where they are going to, we need the will to fight the fight. the number of killings reportedly dropped to 415. that was according to the statistics out of the police

we can talk about this but rahm emanuel has cut the number of police.e's reorganized the police department in many ways and has made them much less efficient. the closure rate for murders in 2012 was 26%. that's abysmal. when the police can't be there. it is important to let potential victims have the chance to defend themselves. and unfortunately, up until very recently, they've been essentially made very difficult for them to be able to do that. >> your books, they've been best sellers. this could not cemenoncept, mor guns, less crime. are you suggesting if more people had guns that the criminals would be less likely to shoot people for fear they have a gun too? >> sure. just give you a simple example. when you put a sign in front of your home that says your home is a gun-free zone. my guess you is wouldn't do that. >> mine isn't. >> and the reason is obvious. because you know, if you put a sign like, that it would be an i visitation for the criminals to go attack you there. the same is true with permanent concealed handguns. unfortunately the problem

chicago mayor rahm emanuel echoed that sentiment at the rally against the violence. >> every child iny of chicago deserves a childhood. every child deserves to hear laughter. >> right. >> any child where that laughter has been replaced by the familiarity of gun violence has had their childhood taken from them. >> so far this year, 83 people have been murdered and it's only april. last year's murder count, 415, the lowest since 1965 but still the highest of any american city last year. some chicagoans have taken to referring to the country as scherr ak, the war zone in the middle east. the emotional toll is hard to deny. >> you can't even come to the park and enjoy yourself without this happening. my kids should be able to come in the community without worrying about violence. they need to stop. >> we have to take a stand. we have to take our city back. >> question is how do chicagoans take their city back? here to look at this struggle, diane lat kerr founder of kids off the block on the south side. give us an understanding of why the city in chicago sees so much violence, what makes

reverend, obviously, rahm emanuel has not been able to do anything about the deadly shootings.ween what mayors bloomberg and that, obviously, mayors giuliani were able to do with cleaning up new york city and what rahm emanuel has not been able do in this city. why has he failed? >> i think it's just a real, real problem of just gun violence. the guns on street. the problems that have not been there in terms of infrastructure. in terms of jobs and other things. i mean, all of it has just exploded on this time. i don't know if it's particularly emanuel or the time. >> but shouldn't a mayor be able do something about this? there were shootings last night here? >> there were shootings -- 45 over the weekend. >> 45? >> over the weekend. >> in this city. in one city, in america, over the weekend. the city can't do anything about that? >> well, i think that the city needs to do, but i think it's not just the city. i think you've got to deal with the gun -- the fact that so many guns available. you've got so little going none terms of the school system and the structures within the co

it's been reported mayor rahm emanuel and bruce rauner may be long time friends. not on this issue...pensions. in a response to robo-calls from the bruce rauner campaign urging chicagoans to voice their opposition to mayor emanuel's reform plan, emanuel accused the republican of playing politics with people's livelihood. rauner called the bill a de- facto property tax hike that he would not endorse. emanuel says it provides financial security for tens of thousands of city workers. the democratic national committee is asking chicago to submit a bid to host its convention in 2016. the d-n-c wants 15 cities to offer proposals. mayor emanuel's office says it's evaluating the opportunity. the city's last d-n-c convention was in 1996 at the united center. it went well that year. but the convention in 1968 turned violent between police and protesters, when riots broke out after the assassination of doctor martin luther king junior. take a look at what someone dropped off on a family's doorstep. a la of the animal stories that that that someone opened a door to find this b

. >> following last night's flair of gun violence and mayor rahm emanuel and superintendent gary mccarthyd for increase in bike patrols in troubled neighborhoods and increase in gun laws. >> we need to change our gun laws, to make sure our strategy of more streets on the street, kids, guns and drugs off the street is effective and coordinated as we can about. >> for a long time superintendent mccarthy has been pushing tougher gun law to discourage third party or straw purchases of guns and truth in sentencing to keep gun offenders off the street until their time is served. at the same time he advocates an easing of drug laws, for minor offenses to take that burden off police. in chicago, mike tobin, fox news. lou: mike, thank you. a warning about violations of our rights to privacy and nsa has nothing to do with it. stay with us. my commentary is next. lou: billionaire social media maven was so distressed that the nsa had transgressed a about his privacy and his users he called the president personally. however many of us are far more concerned about the transgressions of the technology o

getting those statistics down is a pretty major deal for rahm emanuel and superintendent mccarthy. >> some of the statistics you found, incredible. the victim tierra grove, had a agriculture around her plowt, a wire to tie her -- mouth, a wire to tie her to a chair. since the medical examiner couldn't find a clear cause of death they didn't ascribe to it murder? >> how the medical examining team is describing some deaths, this was described tierra's death as a homicide by unspecified means. the body was so decomposed it was in the medical examiner's opinion they could tell someone had killed her but weren't sure exactly how. and so apparently the police department seized on that ambiguity to change it to a noncriminal death investigation instead of a homicide investigation thereby removing her death from the city's year end homicide count. >> and this kind of ambiguity has reflected in other occasions. these would be funny if they weren't so horrific. an example, a man beaten by a gang with a pipe, died six days later. that in no way did the battery contributed to the cause of his dea

a man was robbed around the corner from mayor rahm emanuel's ravenswood home. police say someone got out of a white van and asked the victim what he was doing in the area. when the victim responded that he was deaf, the suspect stole his backpack and sped off. the victim flagged down a member of the mayor's security detail for help. francis cardinal george was honored last night for his 15 years at the chicago archdiocese. an event at the union league club paid tribute to the cardinal, for his support of the "solidarity bridge" mission -- an outreach of healing and empowerment in latin america. cardinal george will be honored again this afternoon with a doctorate in theology at the catholic theological union academic and conference center. this week, the cardinal announced that his battle with cancer will force him to miss this month's ceremony in rome, canonizing pope john paul the second. stephen colbert has been tapped to replace david letterman when he retires as the host the "late show" on c-b-s. colbert plans to drop the satirical conservative character h

mayor rahm emanuel banded new pet coke from opening or expanding in the cities. >> it is something weo look at. you can't have dust clouds blowing into people's homes. and this is going to be an issue. you mentioned the keystone pipeline. it comes from canadian tar sands oil. roughly every barrel has processed up to a third can be pet coke material. this is not just an issue in detroit or chicago, it is going to be an issue, cities all across this country. we have to figure this out. we have to figure out how potential hazard is this material, how do we store it and contain it. if we can't, we have to take a hard look what the next steps might be. >> there are a lot of obstacles. one is a lot of big money interest behind pet coke. companies owned by the coke brothers. >> right. >> do you carry big money could efforts of a national standard? >> no question that will be the case. i took on these piles here in the city of detroit. coke brothers own this material. i'm running for the united states senate in michigan. already the coke brothers have put in $5 million of negative ads against

>> back in 2009, under the leadership of then white house chief of staff rahm emanuel, the citizens bureauand control of the white house. so now that has become a pretty well politicized organization. >> the number is going to go down because the regime is massaging the data. they're changing the questions that they ask people here to rig the results. and if you don't like it, you are a racist. it's sort of like me telegraphing to my parents i'm going to have straight f's on my report card and if i have c's and d's, they're happy. but it's still a pathetic card. >> are they incompetent or disingenuous. neither one are a good thing, quite frankly. >> the last two, you see, was after the press conference. they show how they've been building up the conspiracy theories. and even in the face of evidence that it's working, 8 million people, 35% under 35, i mean, they still are in complete denial. >> well, there's a lot of denial syndrome going on on capitol hill right now that i've witnessed over the last couple of years. one thing that's interesting, climate change is denied even though that's

on monday, chicago mayor rahm emanuel called on the city's residents to stand up for safety. >> every child in the city of chicago deserves a childhood. every child deserves to hear laughter. any child where that laughter has been replaced by the familiarity of gun violence has had their childhood taken from them. and we as adults have not done our job. >> mayor emanuel acknowledged warm weather played a role in the spike in shootings but said values are not about seasons, they're about right and wrong. >>> and the justice department is broughtening the criteria it uses to evaluate clemency for certain federal prisoners. on monday attorney general eric holder announced that the new criteria is aimed at inmates serving time for nonviolent drug offenses to help reduce the federal prison population. >> this new and improved approach will make the criteria for clemency recommendation more expansive. this will allow the department of justice and the president to consider requests from a larger field of eligible individuals. >> the announcement is part of the obama administration's ongoing

the rally was attended by chicago mayor rahm emanuel. >> and any child where that laughter has been replacedchildhood taken from them. >> we can't let the rise in temperature predict the forecast of the rise of violence on the streets of chicago. >> i am not going to hide in my house. i'm not going to do it. i can't afford to do it. >> and all right. let me bring in gregory tatum, organize over the national summit review. thank you, betty and shalom. >> let me ask you about the task force to combat street violence and how much of an impact will that have? >> well, it depends how much you invol involve. if you don't involve the community, you will be wasting your time, and you need to involve the clergy and the commu community leaders and the schoolteachers and so it is the whole community involved to have this accomplished. >> and chicago's police superintendent said he is tired of the violence and like so many of the residents there, and listen to what he had to say. >> i can't sit here and tell you that we are doing that much better when we have a weekend like we just had, and it is the fa

when mayor rahm emanuel was asked about it monday, he didn't appear to have been filled in on any ofer it means more resources, i don't know what it exactly is, but i'm pleased they're doing it. the goal of the 16-member task force appears to be to lock up violent criminals. it's a step for sure, but does it appear the bigger picture of the problem facing the city. thank you so much for being here, jameala. you are in my city and i am in yours. so the story of these shootings that took place over easter weekend sort of brought back the story of violence in chicago. i want to read you something from nbc news.com. it talks about the murder having gone down and then it got warm. murders fell almost 20% citywide last year. according to the department data, in the first quarter of 2014 saw the fewest murders since 1958. but then the mercury started to rise. over the last two weekends, the first warm ones in the city this year, shootings spiked. from what you understand, was there some trigger to the sudden spasm of violence after you had started to see violent crimes going down? >> you kn

rahm emanuel, the mayor there, is trying to push through a bill to try to manage that there.t baltimore. this is a national problem, not a local one. it does have something to do with local management and how we deal with retirement benefits and guarantees. it also has to do with the economy. and poor performance and things like that. and so, you know, we need -- we need a national urban agenda that's about investment, about attracting people back to cities. my city here of detroit has lost 2 million people almost in the last 50 years. or more than 1 million people in the last 50 years. we've got to reverse that trend. because these cities are the economic heart of the states that they're in. without detroit, what's michigan. without new orleans, what's louisiana. at the national level, we need our leaders to be more cognizant of that importance and what they can do to help us out. >> i want to quote to you from one of the pieces that was cited in your selection. something you wrote last july, called wake up, white house, get in the game. you took the president to task as wel

also talked about the v violence over the weekend and talking about chicago, and here is mayor rahm emanuelke a listen. >> the idea that if you have a disagreement on facebook, and it turns into a homicide. a husband comes home -- kills a wife. kids are walking to the corner gro grocery store, boys pull up and shoot them -- enough! >> and then later he essentially said that parents need to instill the right values in their kids and part of the solutions here. and so, you look at that possible solution that he is bringing out versus the violence, and where do you start with this, irin? >> though it is not any comfort to the families of the murdered victims over the weekend, crime is significant down both around the country and actually homicides in 2013 were down in chicago, and while the community is feeling this in a brutal way, it is important to step back and look at the evidence. the problem is that because we have reactive responses to the gun violence and to the violence in general, there is no opportunity to kind of have the evidence-based solutions and see what kinds of programs whe

i want to talk about the show chicagoland because you appeared in episode four where rahm emanuel asked like? >> i felt honored that he wanted me to be a part of helping out with the youth because that's what i'm driven to really help out our young people here in chicago and the fact that the mayor, you know, recognized my passion for the young people and it was an honor for him to ask me and i felt like, yes, let's do that. because i'm not big -- a big politician but, you know, i'm not a politician at all, actually, but, you know, i love when politics has a great cause and the fact that we want to provide jobs and help out our young people is important no matter what party you're with or what your background is. we just want to help out chicago young people. >> common, i know so many people reach out to you. you're an artist, you have a foundation, you have this influence. you carry much infuluence. how do you help out by being in chicago? >> well, i definitely had people reach out to you. like my mother was the first person that reached out to me. she meant a lot because she's educate

the kids in our country deserve nothing less. >> i think rahm emanuel is talking a lot of sense.en studies after studies showing that when kids of access to pre-k, good quality pre-k teaching it makes a big difference in their outcome later in life. it's one of the great things that can be a social level in a sense. one of the great challenges that we are dealing with today is the fact that wealthy kids are getting so much more input not just later in life but early in life. and trying to really focus on pre-k is a great way to try and give kids from poor families at least a chance at competing. >> something that they are doing right now in new york, obviously, mayor de blasio and the governor are going back and forth but it looks like they are moving towards a solution. >> absolutely, absolutely. the people are talking about it seriously in a way not about political point scoring but trying to focus on some of the issues. >> on education reform it's fascinating. mayor de blasio, we had him on the show. it looks like we were talking about him talking bill clinton. it looks now li

make a difference but this book i'm giving my phone book away but imagine that i could convince rahm emanuel first we have hundreds of the kids we thought to meditate through david lynch but imagine i can really make everybody watch chicago i get rahm emanuel i get the chance like that all the educators and all the doctors in convince everybody teach all the principals teach to kids you know rob yeah i know him and yeah and if i can get him and his chancellor to buy him to put in quiet time in the schools and then we can all watch and see a reduction in violence in those schools that be a phenomenal thing we can maybe move it into all schools we have some social media questions so nineteen tweets what changes have you noticed in your own behavior since you began meditating regular. i don't you know i used to get a fly off the handle my name was rush i was anxiety filled of ninety a little bit i'm not he still but let's not. lorena do via facebook wants to know how you made your first million dollars feed i can remember my first record quit in the first million. i don't know when that number

mayor rahm emanuel wants to use $100 million to help build the obama presidential library in the cityf chicago. already he is making a serious sales push. >> this is where the president started his career as a community organizer. this is where he started his career, professionally, as a state senator, u.s. senator and became nationally-known. he will make that decision. i think it is really appropriate it be here but i'm not going to take anything for granted. >> reporter: another major contender is expected to be hawaii where the president spent much of his childhood and where he takes his family every year for christmas vacation. folks in hawaii say they are very fired up about the possibility of having the presidential center being built in honolulu. they're going to make a serious push for that. so there will be competition but illinois republicans say, with the state facing serious fiscal issues including a huge deficit in its pension program, they can not justify using tax dollars. now a number of sites across chicago have been discussed and many folks agree it would be a great

standing together with mayor rahm emanuel to stop it. >> there is nothing out there that's more powerfulthing. >> that's right. >> we are stronger than that senseless violence. >> reporter: chicago police point out that shootings were down in 2013 from the year before, but police superintendent gary mccarthy says the springtime spike is troubling. >> people always say, well, i don't feel much better, even though shootings might be down by 40%. well, the reason for that is kind of simple. if you have ten shootings in your neighborhood last career and you have six shootings in your neighborhood this year, do you feel 40% better? absolutely not. >> reporter: mccarthy says the department has banked overtime to deploy more officers to the streets at the times and places where they're needed. the u.s. attorney's office has also created a new violent crimes section that didn't exist before. 16 prosecutors who will work closely with law enforcement to focus on how best to use existing laws to more effectively crack down on violent crime. >> we are getting out in front of a lot of shootings. we'r

in 2005 he became co-chair of the dccc working with rahm emanuel and was named chairman himself this-- in 2007. in 2010 his democratic colleagues elected him the ranking member of the budget committee. thus endth the biographical portion of the program, now on to the mechanical details. as always, we're on the record here. please, no live blog or other means of filing while the breakfast is underway. there's no 'em bar bow when the session ends. finally, if you'd like to ask a question, please send a subtle, nonthreatening signal, and i'll happily call on one and all. we'll start off with the opportunity for our guest to make some brief opening comments. thanks again for doing this, appreciate it. >> thank you. it's great to be back. thank you, david. thank all of you for joining us this morning in getting together. i'm just going to make a few preliminary comments and then look forward to your questions. first, as you know, the senate yesterday passed on a bipartisan basis emergency unemployment compensation extension. it's very disheartening that speaker boehner has already said th

. >> this is a betrayal of public trust in the sense that mayor rahm emanuel and superintendent garyarthy are public servants. they are paid by our tax dollars. we deserve in return truth from them. >> reporter: cops claim the report is patently false and slam its reliance on anonymous sources. >> i'm troubled by it because it hurts our credibility. while we're trying to build credibility. so it is really troubling. >> reporter: the head of the fbi arrived in chicago and spoke of roughly 100 special agents dedicated to plague of violent crime. >> enormously difficult challenge especially in a community with embedded, long-standing gang activity, hugely difficult. arresting is an important part of the challenge but it requires so much more than that you can't arrest your way to a healthy neighborhood. >> reporter: this morning mayor emanuel and superintendent mccarthy announced an increase of bike patrols in the troubled neighborhoods. superintendent mccarthy advocated an easing of drug laws and a stiffening of gun laws. jon? jon: mike tobin, in chicago. mike, thank you. jenna: speaki

yes, mayor rahm emanuel is trying to do more to encourage moth more of those tech ventures to come inencourage more venture capitalists but at the same time it's not translating, like tom said, to the street level where you're seeing people really have uncertainty about this economy in this state. >> and isn't it interesting, steve, you got a similar story to tell there in massachusetts. depends on where you are in the state on how you're doing economically, right? >> absolutely, and in greater boston, which is another technology-driven economy, it's really booming, and i were say that dozen translate to the street level, but if you go beyond 25 miles of boston to the rest of the state, an entirely different picture, and, you know, everybody is anywhere from average to struggling there. we've got a lot of small to medium-sized cities outside that area where the unemployment rate is still anywhere from 10% to 14%. >> wow. >> does everybody feel though at least like whatever the jump start activity in the core of the city and some of these sectors is spreading, that at least the momentu

we saw rahm emanuel and a number of other people talking about rebuilding and reinventing america.repeatedly came out, you know, in the old days -- i don't know what the old days were -- companies had training programs. companies took at least some responsibility. it wasn't just the government. how do you see that balance? >> i think first of all, partnership should be the operative word. businesses need to lead in terms of the content of training and what they need. they're the ones who can say here's what i need in the work force today and in the future. and i think it needs to be a partnership between all parties. >> how much do you worry about technology? >> well, i think technology is a great opportunity. we're very committed to promoting innovation and technology throughout the economy. i think it's somewhere around 50% of job -- gdp growth is through technology growth. >> taking away what might be discovered as low-wage jobs. >> oh, technology, though, is an opportunity for americans to ultimately have very high-value jobs. and so that's why skills training in combination wi

obviously, the brother of rahm emanuel. a new book coming out.eir health care plans by the year 2025. >> what? >> and he obviously is taking some heat from that. but what he is saying is, hold on, i'm not saying that companies are going to ditch it to sort of, you know, screw over the american worker. his whole goal is that the exchanges now that we have through aka will get good enough that we may not need some of the employer-sponsored plans. so he's in that you're the boss blog in the new york times, people raising their ire at zeke, and he's saying think about why i'm saying it, not take the headline and put on twitter and everybody get upset. >> so most americans prefer to have that as an option, as well. >> if we see the exchanges, quality go up and cost go down, that's what he's arguing. i don't know if you watched "60 minutes" last night. they talked about this rv that goes around in southwestern virginia and delivers health care. god bless the nurses that were doing it. >> that's right. >> but heartbreaking to wachtch. the county they we

and exxon so i'm not too optimistic about it i'm not too optimistic that someone like rahm emanuel president obama's former chief of staff is going to do anything that really punishes corporations in a very serious way right i look as i said the punishment is just pay like an hour worth of what you guys make it's like all right just a slap on the wrist here's an hour's worth of earnings let's move on and can poison in the world and i want another story an energy story rather that you've been covering closely the three energy export congressional hearings held last week do you think the overall message of these hearings was. to two main message is number one the united states has basically it according to congress i can to the new saudi arabia where it will determine energy exploiting a superpower and it needs to be because of what's happening in the ukraine and you know with russia there was message number one message number two was you know basically just the next logical conclusion is drill baby drill because to make that happen it means more and more fracking asked after more and more tar

their rahm emanuel pushed the rule on the grounds that e-cigarettes are "gateway products.: to a chicagoding tribune story. we have a special line set up for e-cigarette users as we talk about e-cigarettes. in indiana onin erin from indiana, good morning. caller: good morning. toive fairly closely northwest indiana, only about 30 miles away. one of the things that happens when you go over there if you are a smoker, you are not allowed to smoke inside. the rule is in place -- it is interesting that there is very little evidence, a lack of we aree, i guess, that hopefully working on to show the effects of these e-cigarette in public, yet the rules are being put in place without the evidence. that was my comment. i personally use them as an alternative, and there is more evidence that we might not be -- we maybe should be not using them at all. the impact for long-term users such as yourself and community members that might be in a public place, a bar, etc., some is some action that people feel are necessary to safeguard against that. chicago is not the only one. new york city has done so, l.a.

i commend mayor rahm emanuel and yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2013, the gentleman from michigan, mr. levin is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. the gentleman is recognized. without objection. mr. levin: several of us have come together now to talk about unemployment insurance. the majority leader said to accept the senate bill is to accept the status quo, and that is simply not correct. it's not accepting the status quo, it's whether we will penalize over two million long-term unemployed looking for work who have lost their unemployment insurance because of the overall economic situation in this country that is getting better, but for them, not nearly good enough. so don't raise the issue of the status quo as a reason to penalize over two million americans. mr. speaker, two months ago, a number of us invited unemployed workers to be our guest at the president's state of the union address. we wanted to give a voic

this is "your money," and in a few minutes, my conversations with chicago's mayor rahm emanuel and former worth? it's a dark and uncomfortable thing to ask, but it's a question that companies and courts sometimes have to answer. >>> grieving families who blame a gm defect for the death of their loved ones demanding justice. >> i closed my eyes and think about how many died and that's not fair. >> another tragedy. half a world away. tales of malaysia airlines passengers, desperate for news of what happened. and soon both companies could be forced to pay up. general motors admits ten years ago it knew something was wrong with a faulty ignition switch tied to 13 deaths. >> i am deeply sorry. >> terms of its bankruptcy could shield them from civil liability, kenneth feinberg on the payroll, handling compensation for the terrorist attacks and the bp oil spill. >> come clean and sade we're going to do justice, and do the right thing. >> our first step, hin

"the new york times" says the former governor of florida had an unapologetic determination to expand wealth after leaving office. that determination could force bush to answer difficult questions. among them lehman brothers in 2008. and also his role as paid director of tenant health care which was a big supporter of obamacare. since 2007 bush earned at least $3.2 million in board fees and stock grants. and delivering more than a hundred of them over the past seven years. >> that's terrible. that's ghastly. let's go right now -- >> i think that's a problem. >> this is a disqualifier, chuck todd. he's finished. >> "the new york times" editorial page is going to lecture him -- >> he's made money. >> that's going to cost
