schultz?let me give you some information. $4 billion was spent in 2008 in the presidential cycle and estimated 5.5 billion in 2012. i would suspect that even you would think we could use that money much better off for our education system, to do anything possible to create jobs in america and not to continue to fund a broken system. but that's not the issue. the issue right now is not to point blame, but we must address the issue of job creation in america. last week i was in europe, i had a private meeting with president sarkozy, and in that meeting, he shared with the problems in europe with regards to greece, the fact is that the connective tissue as it relates to the problems that we're having in america, how that has spilled off in a crisis of confidence in europe. responsibility has to be those who are in washington who can make the decisions necessary to bring back confidence and hope back into the country. >> howard schultz, thank you very much indeed. nicolle wallace, what has to happ

ellen schultz. ( applause ) thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> jon: the book is called retirement heist. i did not think... and i've thought a lot about this financial crisis. i did not think there was another piece of information that i can learn that could still make me angry. thank you. >> any time. >> jon: thank you for letting me know i can still feel. this book is about how corporations have taken gigantic worker pension funds and just taken them. >> they've manageded to take the retirement plans for millions, 44 million people, and turn them into profit centers for the companies. now people are complaining that the plans are underfunded but they were fully funded. in fact there was a quarter trillion surplus as recently as ten years ago. >> jon: what would they do? you say the pension fund has a surplus. that means the company, the workers pay into it. there's a mandate that you have to fund these pensions. so they have a quarter trillion surplus. how did they drain that? w

on tonight ellen schultz, the author of the retirement heist which is a great flick. starring jack nicholson. i'm sorry. it's about pension funds maximizing their own profit. it's so far fetched. here's what i think happened. i think the tattoo guy put a hot girl on his leg, right? the tattoo guy (beep) and then you're like screw it. just throw a bobo-fet helmet on it. we'll call it even. that's what i think he did. get a tattoo of boba-fet as a woman. i don't believe that that was the original intent. i believe the original intent was like i love i dream of jeany. why don't you put her on my leg. they (beep) her face. i'll put a helmet on that. obviously we were off last week. so we have a lot to catch up. last we left off i believe rick perry's entrance into the "please don't make us vote for romney" republican race. perry before he ever uttered a word shot to the top of the field. unfortunately running for president does require a good deal of word uttering. which perry's done on four separate debate occasions. >> is it the mitt romney that was on the side of again

dutch schultz. >> well, dutch schultz -- you had portman at the bottom. schultz took away gordon's empire which was largely based on alcohol. but not only alcohol. there was something called policy, the numbers game. and it was gambling for the masses. and again, this helps explains dewey's appeal across the demographic range because millions up in harlem in particular -- millions of poor people were being taken advantage of in this game. the money was falling to the under world. doug schultz was making $20,000 a day. >> lucky luciano. >> he was the significant step above. doug schultz decided that he would assassinate tom's dad when he got too great and actually the underworld decided that was a step too far and before dutch could carry out his plan, mr. luciano took care of dutch. >> the impact of this to your family, were there threats to your family? >> well, sure. >> what was it like? did you know about it? >> no. i'm three years older than john. what's happening here in 1936, 1937, i'm 4 or maybe 5. and they -- being the peep that they were they wou

. >> with eric schultz at the white house. >> jon: a cbs reporter gets a slap down from the white house and justice department for digging deeper into the department's failed fast and furious guns program. now, new information surfaces suggesting our attorney general knew of the plan earlier than he acknowledged. >> no matter how many times i was asked the question, for me the answer was never anything, but no. >> jon: and chris christie gives his final answer. the washington post runs a hit piece on the governor, giving the liberal media more red meat. >> the voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media. >> jon: herman cain gets a lift in the polls. is he still being i go poured? >> occupy wall street protesters get more attention, but should they? and how did the associated press get this shot? >> on the panel this week, writer and fox news contributor, jean miller. and cal thomas, jim pinkerton, contributing editor, the american magazine. and host of the alan colmes show, alan colmes. i'm jon scott, fox news watch is on right now. >> now, we knew from the start th

congresswoman wasserman schultz, thank you so much for being here.start out with a big piece of business on capitol hill, and that is coming up with some kind of jobs bill that might move the meter on the 9.1% unemployment rate. on your side, you have a bill that essentially the president's bill that congressman larson has put out there with only a handful of democratic co-sponsors. why is that? >> well, the co-sponsorship is really not reflective of the widespread support that exists in the democratic caucus and in the country for the american jobs act. polling shows overwhelming support for congress to pass the entire bill. it's absolutely critical. we've got economists like mark zandi who say that the american jobs act would add 2 percentage points to the gdp, drop the unemployment rate by about 1%. i mean those are real shot in the arm to the economy that would create jobs now and it's got widespread support, not just among democrats but by americans. sadly, republicans, because they're only interested in one job, barack obama's, don't seem to be

the guy schultz. >> eric consults. >> he cursed ms. atkinson. i'm thinking maybe this whole thing, this whole -- because the barack obama white house has been pretty tight, pretty on message. you would agree. >> yeah. >> not a chaotic situation. >> they say they will be very transparent on things. >> looks like it's all coming apart. >> freaking out. i have been having her on my show since last february on this issue. she has been reporting. she is a very calm. she is a wonderful person. she calls white house and justice department this eric schultz kid and starts screaming at her and cursing at her. she was very forth coming on my show. let's see what she says on yours. she says why are you cursing at me? and apparently he said well, reasonable reporters aren't taking -- aren't going down this road. he said the reasonable reporters. >> bill: nbc haven't done a story since april. >> they are basically joining the protests on wall street. >> bill: that's not true. do you know why i know that? >> why? >> bill: nobody has alpaca sweater. >> drum an

"the ed show" with ed schultz starts right now. >>> good evening, americans. welcome to "the ed show" tonight from new york. mitt romney is getting hammered for his spineless performance in cincinnati today. two weeks from tonight, john kasich's anti-worker bill could be repealed. and the 99% movement, well, they could score a major victory. this is "the ed show." let's get to work. the fight for ohio has gone national. >> two ballot initiatives. i'm certainly supportive of the republican party's effort here. >> tonight, mitt romney is in big trouble with his party for refusing to endorse the kasich union busting bill. even though he endorsed it four months ago. we'll get the latest from the buckeye state and we'll talk to a conservative radio host, bill cunningham, who thinks kasich's bill should fail. >>> rick perry's flat tax plan is out. >> for those at the top, it is hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars. >> i don't care about that. what i care about is them having the dollars to invest in their companies. >> we'll see how he sells that to

breaks the inside the beltway mystique but you might hear it schultz ed does his nationally syndicated show out of fargo north dakota and his ratings are good he's matching bill o'reilly's numbers. don't see talkers magazine now is out the ed schultz show has got over three million listers progressive talk we got it start in two thousand and four and it now seems to be having an effect many formerly red states that heard ed and and air america were highly competitive voted blue in two thousand and eight while those that heard only conservative talk went read. as usual but here's the scary part since the democrats made gains in the two thousand and six election corporate radio took to get into every other progressive talker in the key swing state of ohio off the air first and. then columbus fall and replaced them with shows they get half their own things they're out there greasing the skids right now in the winter of those seven with a zero point six number. when i was on there in the fall of zero five it was like a two point four the same scam is strange to me you did it. market that y

starbucks ceo howard schultz is trying to show we're all climbing this hill together, providing small loans to small businesses that prove they will hire. >> i think it's about americans helping americans to bring back the self-esteem of those individuals who have been left behind. >> reporter: now starbucks is putting $5 million of its own money into this effort and starting next tuesday, they'll be selling wristbands in stores for $5 apiece, that money going to help create jobs and schultz says creating self-esteem, diane. >> john, thank you. and we want everyone at home to keep writing us, as well as our partners, yahoo! we're listening now at abcnews.com. we want your thoughts about this. >>> and moving across the country tonight, residents of one american city have a kind of weather whiplash. 48 hours after record-breaking heat, denver was walloped by six inches of snow. abc's clayton sandell givens us a quick tour. >> reporter: good evening, diane. if you can believe it, it was 80 degrees only two dames ago here, and now look. the snow has been falling since midnight and it is s

>> you've got to love bill schultz, thank you for helping us out. we had fun there and eminent domain is a serious topic, you should know what that it means. have you heard the expression, i'm from the government and i'm here to help you? well, with eminent domain it's more like i'm from the government and here to take away your property and move you out. can they really do that? yes, they can. eminent he domain is a law that allows the government to take your private property, if it thinks it would serve a greater public purpose. bob knows all about it all too well. the government wants to close down his family's 60-year-old welding business in order to expand the water and sewage treatment plant, but he didn't lay down, he put up a fight. and he's joining us from his plant near pittsburgh. bob, welcome, good to have you with us and understand, yesterday, there was at least some resolution, or at least temporary. tell us what, what's the latest status on the government trying to take your shop away? >> well, basically, we've got an extension of 30

that's the reason that congresswoman wasserman schultz and harry reid.hy he have a credibility problem with the american public. >> i think everybody has a credibility problem with the american people. probably the news media. 25 million americans are either unemployed or underemployed and washington keeps debating different proposals that have zero chance of passing. gloria, after this, will they sit down and say what can we pass? >> yes. precisely because of the reason you just gave. they see the pulse too. they see a 14% approval rating for congress. i think you'll see a bunch of smaller measures, trade agreements, tax credits for hiring veterans. maybe some kind much a highway bill, increased access to capital for small business. so you're going to see components of this. what you're not going to see are the tax increases you were talking about or the extension of the payroll tax cut holiday, which a lot of people want to extend. >> this will debated congresswoman and madam chairwoman. you have dual titles. it's supposed to be largely about the econo

we are also lucky enough to have the chief of protocol for the city of san francisco charlotte schultz. last but not least, we have tony sun, chair of the asian arts commission. that's good started this morning. i am going to get off the stage and and things off over to jay hsu. he is going to tell us a little bit more about what we're doing today. >> someone needs to hand me the remote. terrific. brand implementation is a journey. the asian art museum embarks on a new journey. to reinvent ourselves, to engage a broad audience. the broad audience is very much at the core of what we do here and who we are. why now, you ask? as the aging world influence grows, so is understanding its culture. more than half of the global population lives in the asia. to look at our own san francisco bay area, one third of the population are of asian descent. also, a challenging economy offers us the opportunity to take advantage by being bold and taking risks. we need to increase our impact and by doing so, increasing revenue. also, a successful restructuring of our long-term debt. that took place earlie

congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz joins us now. great to see you.of all what is your response to john mccain and mitch mcconnell and all the others who say the campaign should be paying for this bus trip through north carolina and virginia, not the taxpayer? >> president obama has been using his role as president of the united states to stump across the country to press the congress, the united states senate and the united states house of representatives to pass the american jobs act now. emphasizing how critical it is that the congress pass his legislation to ensure that we can get people back to work, that we can provide a payroll tax cut to small business owners and extend the payroll tax cut that would put $1,500 in the average middle class family's pocket, keep teachers on the job, firefighters, other first responders, put construction workers back to work. that's the role of the president of the united states to make sure the person people understand what he's proposed, what's at stake, and who the obstacles in the path of that progress really

i'm ed schultz. listen to me on sirius xm raid channel 127 noon to 3:00 p.m.

also some of the larger implications to help me do that just a little bit ago i spoke with harrison schultz a protester and part of the occupy wall street p.r. team so i asked him about this new york times front page and what he thought about it and this is a butterfly flaps its wings in hong kong and creates a world. here in new york story i guess it could be important. in terms of the i think i think i could buy wall street's more important issue right now yeah especially as it is going on literally in the backyard of the printing presses of the new york times. i know that. you harrison you just gave it interview with fox news. how did it go for you. it was pretty much what i was expected i mean they set a lot of traps for me and they pretended to be really polite but you know there's there's really a lot of hostility the a they ask a lot of questions that if you answer it would mean your sensually agreeing to a false promise they always ask a stupid throw away question if you answered you it would automatically assume that you have that you're agreeing with some larger promise isn't near

philip schultz won acclaim and a pulitzer prize in 2008 for his collection titled, "failure." his new memoir, called "my dyslexia," details a life-long struggle he had to overcome to get there. >> my name is phillip schultz and i'm a poet and a teacher. i founded, direct, run a school called the writeers' studio. i think i was 16 when i had the thought of maybing the a writer and this is complicated, something i only now understand, because when i was young having dyslexia and not knowing it made reading such an ordeal. in fact, i couldn't. i didn't learn how to read until i was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back. well, this poem which comes right out of writing the book the memoir on my dyslexia is really the first poem i've written that deals with the subject. hitting and getting hit... it's the experience of being bull lead. "they could say what they liked imitate the way i stutter it had morning pledge mash it had el a bet, ask how many chickens one plus three made why my brain sat in the the coroner a class of one until refused to read or write, was

congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz is the chair of the democratic congressional committee.he joins us now. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining us. >> sure. >> are you, as a leader of the party, still trying to figure out the cut of their jib up in new york? whether it's a group you want to get identified with or what? where are you with the protesters in new york and across the country now? >> no, i'm not still trying to figure it out. as both a leader of my party and also as a representative of my congressional districts in south florida, i think the occupy wall street movement represents a reflection of the callus indifference that for years under republican leadership in this country really ignored the needs of the middle class. it gave all the benefits and all the advantages in terms of a regulatory scheme and the financial services industry to corporations and to wall street and to the wealthiest, most fortunate americans. and this is the pushback. this is the point at which that middle class folks say, no more, it's time for some balance, and i think that the

debbie wasserman schultz, democrat from florida. now is ron reagan, author of "my father." do you feel for those people, is this something that you wish you were part of? >> i can be part of it myself if i want to stroll a few blocks from here, because an occupy seattle movement started over the weekend, i think it's at fourth and pike here in seattle. i just got back from overseas, so i haven't had a chance to go down there. but the impression i get, and i think joe biden even mentioned this in one of the clips that you plaid, this is a movement that has a broad-based anger. and the challenge, it seems to me, for the democratic party, if they want to somehow join the movement or co-opt the movement, however you want to put it, that these folks are just as mad at them as they are at the republicans. the republicans may be more egregiously in the hop pocket of the wall streeters and bankers, but the democrats are too. there are those who staked their whole career on creating loopholes. they're not the natural allies of the occupy wal
