how do you respond to rick? >> real quickly, larry, can i just read -- i received a letter today from the member of the family. one sentence. can i take 12 seconds to read this, the last sentence? >> larry: yes. >> jack, i know you knew dawn and what an amazing person she was, we need to smile, light up the room, educate the world and learn from mistakes and fwroe to make this world a beautiful place and keep all the amazing creatures in it. that said, larry, you know, i guess rick is speaking on behalf of what he believes. your friend bob basher and ear people said on behalf of pete fa and the 2 million members of peta we'd like to see them leased in the wild. i'm here on behalf of 180 million people that went to our zoos and aquariums last year that came there for education to learn more about the animal world and how to save it. >> larry: rick says the education part is a farce, for want of a better word. >> it's not a farce, larry. we grow and grow each year. we're going to continue to grow. it's educational

jane, what do you make of rick and jack going at it it? >> i'm on rick's side.u see animal exploitation, follow the money. larry, this is big business. the blackstone group traded on the new york stock exchange recently bought seaworld for $2.7 billion. this is about money. this animal in question, tilikum, the killer whale, was born in the waters off iceland, born free, and it was kidnapped, abducted in the early 1980s and for more than a quarter of a century it has spent its life going round and round in circles in a tank. the human equivalent is sticking a human being in a bathtub. if you were in a bathtub for 25 years, don't you think you'd get a little irritated, aggravated and maybe a little psychotic. this animal was speaking with its fin saying get me out of this damn tank. >> larry: thad, how do you respond? >> first of all, i'd like to send my condolences of the family of dawn brancheau, because that's what this is about today. she had her funeral today, and i would like to extend my condolences to her husband, who deeply misses her right now. now i'd

rick perry is saying, i'm the conservative. you like me. the economy is doing well. why would we want to change. she is fine in washington. kay bailey hutchison never found a smart way to frame the race outside of he's been there too long. and that's not a good argument. >> no. let's go back to wayne. it seems to me you made the point all politics ain't local. look at these other patterns. let's look at the map of the country right now. look at some of these states coming up where the tea partiers are challenging what we used to consider unbeatable types. like in kentucky, where mitch mcconnell pushed jim bunny out of that race to make room for trey grayson. now trey grayson is under attack from rand paul, the son of ron paul. and then out in arizona, who would have thought john mccain would have trouble getting renominated. he's going to have a real battle on his hands beating j.d. hayworth. down in florida, mark arubio, pat buchanan's favorite boy is already moving ahead of charlie crist down there. charlie crist may have to go run as an independent. wayne, it ain'

>> not at all. >> larry: have you seen them, rick? detectives and the state attorney's office is not sharing that information. the rules of criminal procedure basically prohibit it until they're turned over to the defense attorneys. >> larry: is she going to recover fully, rick? >> well, the doctors are basically right now talking about it's a 24 hour by 24 hour thing. every single day, we hope that something positive happens and eventually, they will take her out of the induced coma and then hopefully, she wakes up and hopefully her smile will be there like the picture shows, but the truth of the matter is, we just don't know. >> larry: considering the text messages, the broward county sheriff talked about some of those messages that the suspect allegedly sent out. watch this. >> she made a derogatory comment. it set him off, pushed him over the edge. he made the comment back i'm coming over there and i'm going to snap your neck. showed no remorse. sent another text message saying i guess i'm going to prison. i almost killed somebody

and sharon epperson is at the nynex where they saw big moves and rick santelli as well as rick leaseman joini gjoining ne studio. some people say it is an excuse to sell, and others say it is a big play in the commodity markets. sharon, you said that we saw a move in the gold market? >> yes, at 11:25, we saw the highs of the session and gold popped above $1,100 an ounce and at that time we didn't know as the reports are coming in later today, we are learning that it was not a hostile action on north korea's part, but we didn't know it at that time, and there is still much uncertainty around it, which helped to keep the gold prices up ahead of the weekend. we had seen some fund buying after the imf and eu news on greece came in. and we are looking at technical levels for gold, but a lot of people wanted gold holdings before going into the weekend. >> well, no doubt that was a catalyst, and it is a relief to know that apparently the north koreans were not involved, apparently. we have to confirm that. but, look, we have a bull market and big downside day yesterday which was a shock to the

what happened in the case of rick perry? he certainly is an incumbent. >> he did a great job of appeal to people's sense of texas identity, and honestly, i think, turned texas into the outsider and kay bailey hutchison into the insider. so in a sense, she became the incumbent and he become the insurgent. >> ifill: there's one thing he did i want you to explain to us, at one point did he call for secession for texas at some point? >> well, he walked right up to that. he had a real talent for feeling the sense of what was going on in the republican primary electorate last spring, and at one of the rallys in austin, when asked about secession, said that, you know, essentially sometimes maybe it's necessary. so without calling for it, he signaled to a lot of those that were really negative about washington that he understood that, and i think-- it was very interesting. perry engaged in a number of moves through the campaign, the talk of secession, his nominal rejection of some of the stimulus money, even though texas wound up ta

in other words, rick, too big to fail. me, if you fail you fail. now, in this legislation so far as i know in this legislation there's a government resolution authority, a government resolution authority, funded by $4 trillion in the house bill which sounds a lot like aig, fannie mae, freddie mac, government, taxpayers own it in perpetuity. some people think we should have a private bankruptcy court proceeding. how do you come out on this? too big to fail, who should run it and who should resolve it. >> i think fail is the only thing that works. if you want to get into intricacies. fannie and freddie had a lot more latitude on how to shut them down. that didn't work out well. i think it's a pre-log to how the epilog will turn out if we keep it in their hands. as far as other products go, i think the cost rises whether it's credit cards or different kinds of loans. >> right. >> we give the test to people to drive. maybe we should worry about education and make people take a class before we offer them adjustable-rate mortgages. why should it deprive

meantime, lots of wild weather. >> yeah, let's get to rick reichmuth. he on the road today the red river set to crest this afternoon. rick, this is the contentious time period for the folks in that red river region. tell us about what's happening this morning. >> yeah, today's probably going to be the worst of it. the waters right now just under 37 feet and yesterday the river forecasters here dropped the prediction just a little bit to just over 37 feet so about another few inches that we're likely to see this crest, already major problems, obviously, 'cause we're around 18 feet above your flood stage. we're well into major flood stage and to set the scene here, i am in moorhead, minnesota just across the river from fargo, north dakota. the cities share the river on either side and the water has completely come up into this neighborhood and this is a park, and this river typically around 15 to 20 foot, very lazy river has completely overspilled its banks and that's causing the concerns. great news that the river is only cresting around 37 feet. however

we'll send it back to you. >> thanks, rick.help, but thinking you're not supposed to be using your electronic devices. >> you can't take a picture. >> no. >> it's an iphone. >> we are going to call the tsa. >> a good idea. >> here are your headlines, afghan officials reporting a suicide bomb has killed ten civilians and wounded others in the afghan town, in a separate attack, police said two civilians were killed and wounded. and the roadside bomb went off near a crowd of people celebrating the newer. new reports that officials in iran were training taliban members paying them to attend, so they could learn apparently to kill n.a.t.o. forces. according to two commanders iranian officials taught them how to do ambushes using explosive devices, how to escape before the n.a.t.o. forces could respond. thousands of anti-war demonstrators marched through the nation's capital on the 17th anniversary of the war in iraq with a plea to end it. >> means no justice, no-- the us-- many people expressing their concern that health care and ec

host: you are on with tom ricks. good morning. caller: please pay us a picture of what life would be like if we never took out saddam hussein and his boys. guest: good question. i think it goes to the issue of what saddam hussein was. he was an aging, a toothless tiger. he did not have weapons of mass destruction, and certainly was not a threat to the united states. was a lousy leader? absolutely. was a terrible to his people? no question. they are all around the world. how many are we going to knock off? my big worry is a new strongman emerges, tougher, meaner, younger, more energetic than hussain, with a similar purchase. that is what we may end up with, a new, tough, and mean version who unites the country under the banner of anti-americanism. who uses oil money flowing and uses revenue to buy mass destruction weapons, then you may end up with an iraq that is the country the bush administration thought they were in 2003. but the administration invasion might actually create threats. host: our correspondent from the "christian s

you've got rick lazio. >> right.uld tell you i've endorsed and support. >> i know that you have. who has real ideas on small government, on cutting taxes. >> right. >> and then you've got steve levy coming out and trying to become the republican candidate. >> i think rick should -- i mean, i think rick should get the nomination. i think he earned it. i think he's been there for our party for years. he's got great ideas. he's a great guy. and i hope he's the nominee. and i think he'll give andrew cuomo a much better run than anybody thinks. i think he could conceivably win the race. look, andrew cuomo is a very formidable candidate against anyone. so whether it's steve levy or it's rick lazio, it's going to be a tough race. but on the other hand -- >> what do you think we should be thinking about now in terms of their agenda to fix new york? >> their agenda should be what's fixed other states before. lowering expenditures, lowering taxes. being business-friendly. it worked under governor engler in michigan. it works u

the big question tonight in texas, will governor rick perry win his party's nomination with over 50% of the vote to escape an april runoff? nbc deputy political director and texas native, mark murray is with us. lay out the stakes here. this was supposed to be the biggest primary in the country, and it's sort of going out with a fizzle. >> you begin with an incumbent governor who just won re-election in 2006 against a very popular united states senator, kay bailey hutchison. the polls show rick perry, the incumbent governor, might cruise to victory, might even be able to avoid this runoff in april. one of the stories that's gone on is that washington and congress are always unpopular, but in this election cycle, even more so, as we write in first read today with, that being an incumbent in washington, like kay bailey hutchison is, is worse than being an incumbent in austin, texas, down in the state capital. and whether or not we end up seeing this in other gubernatorial contests across the country, there are at least nine sitting united states senators or members of congress who are

hotter on inflation as rick said.lowing closely the consumer down a tick with durables up 04 versus 02 with change in services. i know tony wants inventories. give me a second. down more than expected. minus 197 versus minus 16. >> as you said final sales have moved from 1.4 from 1.6. when we sum up business in the economy, it was weaker than previously thought. that's the problem in the economy. the amount of consumption and whether the private sector will take over. >> would you explain to rick getting it right after three times, they're going revise this thing over the next five years. >> for many years. >> just like jobs data. a huge revision of. >> that's where the term good enough for government comes from. >> do we want maybe a slightly less hot number for the quarter so that maybe some of that gets stretched along? it doesn't disappear, right? >> what we don't like in terms of the united states story now is that half of the gdp growth came from inventory investment. final sales isn't going to cut it. it used t

hoying in iowa as well. >> rick as you mentioned. it is beautiful out east.from home depo . fire up the grill and have people over . a lot of maintenance needs to happen first. >>> and join the weather and take care of business first. >> starting with the gutter and one of those areas in the northeast, a lot of snow and ice and things like that. over time your gutters can pull away and spikes will loosen up. >> i did not know that. obviously it will help protect the bottom of your car and the water is under the house. you will want to keep it in good shape. you can actually get a new kind of a gut are chip . so what happens is, this part right here is under the lip of the cutter . the other part slide on top. it will screw reet into the -- , just that . you got to clean these out, too . protect your home and yard as well employ. >> if there and any rust orenings like that you can come in home depo. >> make sure the lawn mowers is working well. >> and all all of your power . have it last longer. couple of thing to do. change the oil. change the oil . then you

and joining me live right now is rick newman, chief business correspondent with "u.s.ews & world report." so, rick, my question is $8 billion at stake here, does this ultimately prove that investing and doing these bailouts was a payoff for us? >> i hope this didn't lead future governments to say let's just invest in the banks every time. that's certainly not what we need. the government is making money off the banks for sure. and this was anticipated at the beginning of the whole bailout program and it just was a question of when will the government get its money back. now the government is going to lose money on the overall bailout. aig is a money loser for sure. unsure about the auto companies and we still have fannie and freddie. citigroup will be the last of the big banks to pay back the money they got. >> which company does the u.s. stand to make the most money from? >> it could be citigroup. remember that the other banks like jpmorgan chase and bank of america have already paid back the money with interest. so it's going to be the banks. this is great news for e

i want to bring in our business and sports analyst rick.'s amazing to hear how much company's bottom lines are being affected by this tourname tournament. >> 58 million of us spending 20 minutes away from productivity and that's just the first week. that's nearly $2 billion. but, t.j., on the other hand, there's a study that says a happy worker is a productive worker, so let's bring it on. >> i wonder what the companies would actually prefer, a happy worker or an upset worker who is actually getting some work done? companies don't mess around with this stuff. some of these pools they have big money in them. you could be fired for this stuff. >> yes, you can, and there's also a prohibition on many of these companies against gambling even if it's just water cooler conversation. so everybody does it and some people actually don't get away with it. >> all right. now, you have a bracket here and we're not -- ladies and gentlemen, we want to make it clear we're not just showing his bracket because you want to see how good he is at picking teams.
