joining me right now is simon johnson, professor of entrepreneurship at m.i.t. simon, very nice to have you on the program. >> ne to meet you. >> thank you for joining us. let's talk about this crucial ruling from the supreme court upholding the affordable care act. is this a positive because we have some certainty or do you think this will still be sort of an uncertainty and a new tax for business keeping them unwilling to add heads to the payroll? >> i don't think you know before the november election how this will turn out. november election will be more about competing visions, obama vision and romney vision, and perhaps after that resolution we'll get greater certainty. >> and so the election, of course, is going to be much about this. already you heard governor romney come out and say, look, you know, if you want to get rid of obamacare, get rid of obama, things like that. so do you think that this is going to be a positive for the republicans or a positive for the democrats? >> i think it's a bit of a positive for the democrats because it means they didn't

glen johnson, thank you. simon marks. coming up gay marriage. democrats look like they are ready to endorse same-sex marriage nationally in the party platform. the republicans can't wait for this. one of them said or actually asked it is politically correct but is it politically smart? couple of republicans have come forward to saw their party leaned so fard to the right these days it is out of control. speaking out of control, rush limbaugh concluded in his depth of knowledge that the olympics opening ceremony was a socialist tribute to president obama. only in the land of ditto-heads and the side show. special treat tonight, will ferrell join us to talk politics and about their new movie "the campaign." this is new york state. we built the first railway, the first trade route to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works

sherrie johnson is here with reaction from one sex abuse victim not connected with sandusky. >> 37 year old colby simon was abused by an older cousin as a child and for the first time she is going public. the news surrounding the sandusky sex abuse scandal made for sleepness lights, bringing up bad memories. she realized the older cousin who attacked her had other victims. she went back in to therapy to deal with the secret, she says crippling a football program is a strong message that child abuse will not be tolerated. she says nothing will change the impact of being abused as a child. >> there is no closure to this type of thing, just the day-to- day coping. >> simon says she lives with the guilt of not speaking up and learning of other victims. >> what would she like to see in the future? >> she likes the idea that people are talking about this. it's important to create awareness to get people talking. this is the only positive thing that has come out of the penn state scandal. >>> 6:05, also this morning, the deadly massacre in colorado at the movie theater, sparking conversation about gun laws, t
