tom was incarcerated. . that's somebody coaching him or encouraging him? >> i believe sohey needed to prove the sound those boys heard was tom dropping a window frame on the back porch and not the fatal gun blast. four days after tom foley's arrest, schafer and cuberstein took a trip to the farm to try and do just that. >> couple of perry mason moments. don't come very often. >> this is the frame that we found. >> right where tom said he dropped the frame, they found this tiny shard of glass. immediately they tried to match the shard with the frame tom said he dropped. >> if you take the shard and set it in one of the few remaining, intact areas of the frame, you can see it fits perfectly. >> it was compelling evidence that tom may have been telling the truth. but schafer would need more than a shard of evidence. he next called this woman, janette moore, the woman who came forward immediately following tom's guilty verdict are and the reason he was ultimately granted a new trial. >> i do. >> moore said she was driving past the foley house right around the time dar had bee

so tom skilling we have unseasonably warm weather for our holiday tomorrow.>>the son will break out this afternoon the clearing process is underway. the clouds will begin to break up as we go through the morning hours. don't be surprised if we begin cloudy but the gusty winds will mix and the dry and warm air and the temperatures will head for the low 60s ... friday will be mild and sunny but saturday we will get some clouds and rainshowers ... the strong wind will be blowing. looking at the wind roaring in from the north 40 mi. per hour across the plains that will be calling us off on sunday. we will get about an inch of rain sunday ... and in vermont new hampshire and maine they are experiencing in northern new england it snow storm. back here in chicago it's been 13 years since we've had a 60 degree thanksgiving it will be 64 degrees friday it will be in the '50s on saturday with cooler rainshowers on sunday. we have a decidedly cooler pattern next week. when state is the final day of november it's hard to believe we are approaching winter already. 70 perc

>> i think so, tom. i think it's every day you come not market and the european headlines from overnight pretty much set the course for the day. whether it is italy gok downgraded or france going to be downgraded, italy into default s merkel and germany going to be play nice. every day it is something out of europe and it puts a damper on the u.s. market, third-quarter earnings up 17% and the u. mat market in that same period down 14%. the focus is on the wrong thing t is like that accident when are you driving down the highway, you can't help but slow down and take a look ian though it increases the chances of you getting in an accident yourself it is what is happening here. we are distracted on the wrong thing. focus should be on the u.s. economy which is growing i think better than expected and the consumer come on strong, and corporate earnings which are looking very good and corporate balance sheets which are great. >> tom: are you saying buy u.s.a., made in the u.s.a. and among those stocks are you

so utilities one way to play that. >> tom: nice dividend yields there. do you or your clients own -- >> we recommend that they buy utilities and also technologies, the other end of a so-called dumb bell strategy that combine a high risk and will risk strategy to hopefully outperform the market. >> tom: our guest, nick colas with convergex. >> susie: despite today's big market rally, the job market is still weak and the housing market is still impaired. that's the upshot of the federal reserve's latest survey of regional economies. in its beige book, the fed says, "overall economic activity increased at a slow to moderate pace across all federal reserve districts except saint louis." meanwhile, hiring is looking a little better in the private sector. payroll processing firm a.d.p. reports 206,000 jobs were added to private payrolls this month. and a bit of encouraging news in the housing sector: contracts to buy homes hit their highest level in a year in october, rising 10.4%. but the national association of realtors says the gain doesn't signal a recovery

they can create jobs in that environment. >> ok, so tom, bringing this back to jobs again. >> brenda, i got to tell you, the uncertainty in washington that's taking place there is causing job creators not to hire people and spend on their businesses. that's bottom line. i mean, it's clearly evident out there in the system so no one right now is confident in spending in business until washington gets what they're doing in order there. >> even if they do something like spend more? >> you know, we're also seeing this -- we're also seeing this crowding out effect that we talk about with huge deficits and debt. it's very real when banks can borrow money from the federal reserve for 25 basis points and then invest in t bills, why all -- you know, to the tune as much of the fed will give them, why bother to make a risky investment, even a slightly risky investment in the private sector? we're seeing that happen, too. we need to reduce the deficit and debt. i know it's unusual for a democrat to say this but it's a big problem for the economy right now. >> ok. >> brenda, first of all, steve is

so i think you have to look with real suspicion on rating agency ratings these days. >> tom: john and george, thank you so much for the advice and the insights. our guests: john radtke of incapital l.l.c.; and george strickland of thornburg investment management. >> susie: so there is a lot to consider in building a bond portfolio. besides selecting the right individual bonds, bond funds or e.t.f.s, every bond buyer should also keep track of what's happening with interest rates. >> tom: susie, that's absolutely correct. like the stock market, the bond market has its daily ups and downs, with those moves usually reflecting changes in the economic outlook. but unlike stocks, which tend to go up along with the economy, the better the economic outlook, the worse it may be for bonds. that's because the slightest hint of higher inflation or interest rates generally leads bond prices to fall. and to keep up with interest rates and the economy, be sure to tune in to "nightly business report." >> susie: that's where we leave off for now. if you'd like to learn more about the stories in tonight

he's with us from philadelphia. >> thanks, tom, nice to be back here. >> tom: so resilient this market is. but is it sustainable? is the buying sustainable through the end of the year into 2012? >> i think that it is i mean it's not to say that we're to the have mstly told by the improving behavior and structure technically of so many individual stocks representing the leadership. >> tom: i want to ask you about the technicals in a secondment but fundamentally we're at the end of the another earnings quarter and we're doing the outlook, of course, not fourth quarter and some of those earnings growth estimates are coming down in the fourth quarter for the fundamentals. does that concern you? >> not greatly. i think the most important that the stock market is how do the earnings compare to street expectations. because the market is always anticipates or wants to anticipate when it's in its best form. so even though the earnings forecast might be coming down, if earnings actually exceed what wall street is expecting then i think that is positive for the outlook. >> tom: it is a game of ex

so that's put a little caution into the holidays. >> tom: so it the supply of new video games that's damp epping your outlook? >> we think there's an uncertain consumer because of the macro environment. we track employment, we see a consumer that i under a lot of pressure. that's why you see you truce try to put currency into consumers hand. >> tom: you've lunched your i device business, looking for trade-ins, an old iphone 3 g. how big of a business could this be in 2012? >> we're in 260 stores today and on our website. we receive trades of iphones and i devices in any store and we're selling in 260 stores. next year we expect to ramp that up, pretty significantly. a couple data points that are interesting. the recommerce business in the united states, that's the business that takes old electronics and refurbishes them and resells, them, that's an $800 million business in the united states, it's very fragmented. there's about $7 billion worth of i-devices in people's homes, and if of think 'your own behavior, everybody has an ipod, iphone, ipad, we believe there's a huge market in p

office so tom why the russian stocks are gaining despite a global trend. they have gained a little today could be seen as a small bounce back from yesterday's losses of five and three percent on the r.t.s. my six however it has to be said that any confidence at the moment of the markets is very fragile because all eyes are turned on greece where yesterday mr popper. the greek prime minister and his cabinet voted that they would indeed support a referendum on the euro bailout plan just centrally chosen democracy over finances and said that he can't railroad this through the greek people he needs their support in order to make it work that has terrified finances all over the world the losses yesterday in russia were mild compared to some big banks losing ten percent of their share price yesterday very what great worries across the world of finance to this and it threatens not only to bring down the greek government but also to ruin the europan that was supposed to be the final word in sorting out this euro debt crisis that may actually collapse now especiall

it is an outrageous decision, so tom udahl, jeff americaly, myself, michael bennett, dib durbin, we put in a bill that says repeal constitutional amendment buckley v. vallejo, which is the decision that equates dollars with speech. that is not true. dollars have never been speech, and the buckley v. vallejo course is based on the first amendment. you can't scream fire in a crowded theater. you can't sell child pornography. you can't slander somebody. what is the most sacred value of our constitution? having democracy. the buckley v. vallejo decisions, and the citizens united, which is buckley on steroids, undos the democracy. it was an absurd decision, and we want to repeal it. >> now, do you feel that a lot of this money that is being poured in, and a lot of this changing the rules is because they're losing ground? when you look at the latest polls, not only is the president edging up, you have polls saying that 42% of people would vote democrat as opposed to 34% republican. >> yes. good, you're -- >> does that mean that congress may even -- we may see the house change a little? >> one

director at the applied research center and publisher of color lines dot com rico welcome thank you so much tom thank you so much for joining us fascinating study and great report you all did one of the most emotionally damaging and lifelong scarring things that can happen to a child is to be ripped away from their parents how is it that this is happening here in the united states. well it's really happening because we've got the convergence of historic levels of detention and deportation of immigrants both the people who are here without papers unauthorized immigrants and also non-citizens who get caught up in the criminal justice system in some way so we've got historic levels of detention and the partition and at the same time we have child welfare departments that don't really have any consistent policies for addressing the needs of families that might be caught up in immigration enforcement so when a kid is in the child welfare system and his or her parent is in immigration detention that mother or father cannot do any of the things that the child welfare department requires them to do in

>> bank of america should hit $10 a share in the next 12 to 18 months, tom, there's so much going for this company, including scale, the fact that they have branches, they have a consumer as well as a commercial bank, and they have a loyalty that they are trying to win back on customers, and that's part of the reason i think the stock fell, in addition to the fact that of course they had a bad quarter, even though they still made $6.2 billion. but a bad quarter because of interest rates, and the weak capital markets. but at the end of the day, bank of america, they're capital position is much stronger than it has been, even in 15 years. >> tom: here's the knock on b of a, it's been unable to raise its dividend, regulators aren't allowing it to increase its payout to shareholders, it face us more lawsuits over its mortgage business, and it's pressure with all these new regulations and coming up with new fees and the public relations fiasco that comes along with that. >> i agree with all of that. but bank of america is working through all of those issues, one by one. they're reducing ex
