its all taken care of. >> ben stein. >> oh, charles is so red h.way, why notmake, give each child $100,000? then youwill tak care of it. why not give each child a million at birth. this is reminiscent of the late george mcgovern had in 1992 the so-called demo grant, he was going to give each person in america $1,000. >> i thought about that you are rit. >> boy, this is a greatview of history. >> he's old. >> ben stein is old. >> at least he doesn't talk about his union background. >> only kidding. >> you are mean. >> think of this. i can take this. >> he's pointing at you. that's how the show goes. i'm trying to make this serious, this plan. it's hardecause it's so stupid but les try to take it seris. let's say you give everybody $500? where are they going oinvest it? the stockmarket? in the bank. if youut it nit bank the fed keeps lower the interest rate and printing money, you will get zero. >> give the money to me. i'll invest it. >> if you read stocks. >> the stock manipulates or. >> if u take this serious, it becomes even dumber. there is no w

i think it's a bad idea. >> ben stein is a lawyer. so you are lumping. i have been in practice for a very long time. >> i think charles payne hit on the big picture issue going on here, first, responsible. it's not a political statement. it's not an anti-obama statement. it's just now if you have a problem, it's not your fault. >> we keep hearing more and more, every week, we talk about the news the common thread is that somehow a person is a victim. >> right. >> people with the minimum wage debate. how does someone get into a position to be an adult and have skills to have minimum wage. what do they do to hurt themselves? >> bravo, bravo. >> this is a political -- >> wait a sec, adam. >> he continues to say stuff li like. this is a political story. the trial bar, these are not like regular old lawyers. these are one of the biggest activist groups in the democratic party. they have been doing this in the securities area. >> they are hitting up the states that have these great big deficits courtesy of escalating medicare costs saying we have found the sol

we have stam stein on.n '78. >> you know double secret. most of my friends and others were on that in college. >> just extraordinary. i understand you're a massive "caddyshack" takfan? >> also "stripes" and "animal house." "caddyshack" i can recite lines from that for days. i love that film. i have got the gopher. it dances with me p.m. i'm not embarrassed by that. i will own that gopher for the rest of my days. >> gene robinson, we do something along here, in our culture, the way that we recognize people with the academy awards and the golden globes. you know, a guy like harold ramis is a guy who the academy would no more -- maybe we will put him up for best picture or golden globes, et cetera. you go on and on and on. yet, at "wall street journal" wrote yesterday, i talked about last hour, if the people, if the people actually decided who won academy awards, harold ramis would need a truck to back it into his house. >> yeah. >> because he is just -- he's created these comedies that have been such a big pa

jay stein is workinged a a good ol' fashioned new york city cab driver. but not by choice. he had a cush job working on the online industry, but when his job was cut, he went to driving a cab. he would like to live his dream but right now it seems that he's stuck in neutral. >> you've been doing this for seven months now? >> seven or eight months now yeah. >> how do you feel about it? >> i find it difficult. i was earning $120,000 plus commission, expenses. now i'm earning maybe i'll earn $60,000 gross. it's a 12-hour day hustle. >> how long do you think you'll be doing this? >> hopefully today is my last day. >> then i'm glad i got you. you're working hard to get something else. >> yes, absolutely. when somebody wants to meet with me, i'll make myself available. i go off duty about an hour before the interview. get to a parking lot, change in the cab, get up to the interview. after the interview is over, get back in the cab and go back to work. >> did anyone ever have occasion to ask you if you felt you were part of the middle class? >> not recently. >> were you before thi

at this moment, i'm certain because i interviewed mark stein that dwien is transscrining the interview so it's up and done and he strains scrines these interviews after producing a show, books the guest, arranges the run down, does the cuts, and then arranges for the after show for an hour, and posts them electronically to be available for podcast and transcribes and goes to bed to do it all again the next day. he's been doing this since the show began on july 10th, 2000. adam, he's a slacker. he joined a week later and works as hard, but a week behind the other two of us, and now we have marlin, a lakers fan, so we don't expect much of him, but he's full of energy, and an extraordinary group of people supported by a hundred general managers, a hundred production program directors across the country, and i mention this amazing radio empire, sales staff, syndicator staff, tom, mike reid, and a bunch of people who are down in dallas selling the show to realize any place to sell anything in the world is on the radio. it really son the radio. . and proposes a more productive way forward. t

sam stein, let me ask it this way.en the choice we were facing with our economy and the risk, we were at the edge of something really bad, what were the other options? >> that's a great question. we were losing 800,000 jobs a month at that time, 8% retraction. it just was not -- it was a bleak situation. what were the other options? well, republicans actually put forward their own stimulus plan and roughly between 400 billion and 700 billion dollars largely if not exclusively with tax cuts. i know we look at the president's stimulus plan and say it blew up the deficit and he didn't address long-term debt. same would have gone true with the republican plan. wasn't as if only one plan out there. present plan was spending and tax cuts. i think at that moment the administration realized it had to act. i would argue the biggest criticism is what richard said in the 6:00 hour he left it largely to congress to put this together and what happened they had a hodge-podge of ideas as opposed to one constructive simple stimulus. t

it's my understanding wild stein turned over several hundred pages of documents to the committee. from what i'm hearing, there's nothing in that evidence that contradicts what governor christie said about not learning about the scheme until after it actually happens. so yes, the other thing that's happening today is subpoena day, if you will. there are 20 people entities supposed to respond to a subpoena request for thousands of pages of documents, texts and e-mails by 5:00 today. we understand from the committee investigating the matter that most of them not surprisingly have asked for extensions and will be granted extensions. it's unclear, not giving us a play by play but the bottom line is this will go on for many more weeks. that's the concern that i'm sure governor christie has. he's certainly trying to get back to business as usual and about an hour or so there's going to be a briefing by one of the aides about the next step in sandy relief aide, $1.4 billion, a briefing by phone. it's unclear whether we'll be able to ask questions and the questions that would be confined t

a discharge -- >> let's go to sam stein. i'm sorry, senator.unch here. sam stein, go ahead. i think we may start ringing a bell every time the senator says tea patty. he can file in for carl bernstein. go ahead. >> i will ring the bell personally. shifting topics a little bit. i talked to a few people on unemployment insurance and saw a cutoff at the end of december. they want some clarity right now in their lives. they get the sense they don't think another package will pass and seen a few failed votes in the senate. what can you tell them about the prospects of legislation and when will it be brought up an do you see the house enacting unemployment insurance in the near future? >> we will keep bringing it up. i think it has a chance but not that large a chance but still has a chance. the reason is this. the big tectonic plates are moving. the number one issue sh creating good jobs and raising incomes of the middle class and the people who are in the lower 70%, 80% of america. deficit reduction doesn't have the power that it had before. in par

stein is intoxicated and has traces of cocaine in his system. >> get on the ground right now! found guilty two of counts of aggravated vehicular assault and is sentenced to three years in prison. >> kind of one of those things where they are going to do what they are going to do regardless of the consequences. >> those consequences turn out to be severe. trooper kyle albright is forced into medical retirement because of his injuries. >> i do miss it. that's all i've ever been since i've been 21 years old. that's all i've ever known is being a cop. >> but kyle albright has turned the life-changing events of that night into a positive. he uses the dash cam video as a teaching tool. >> i go to schools, high schools. i talk about the effects of drinking and driving and i use that video to show them this is real, and it doesn't just affect me. it affected my family. and i try to put that across to kids when they want to go out and drink and drive. think about your family. you have to either, a, come visit you in the hospital or, b, get to go to your funeral. coming up, this guy giv

. >> joining me now is sam stein and msnbc political analyst and reporter with the huffington post and brian murphy, professor and former political reporter in new jersey. brian worked for david wildstein in 2002 in new jersey at politicsnj.com. with friends like sarah palin, there is a hardy defense, huh? >> oh, god. the bus, it's moving so fast over chris christie. you know? she didn't do him any favors with that statement, but if you step back and you ask the question, is it likely that he knew or should he have known? she probably has a point, which is that -- and it gets to the big problem here for chris christie is that either way he's sort of damned. either h edidn't know and didn't have good control over his staff members and they were running wild underneath him without him having any knowledge or he did know. either way, either explanation is a bad one. and i guess we'll find out which one is true. but either way, it hurts him politically. >> yeah, his best defense is i'm completely unfit to be president because i delegate, as i he said, enormous authority to my staff and my

some people actually call it stein's law, originally propounded as if something cannot go on forever, it will stop. and frequently compressed as if something can't go on forever, it won't. well, what can't go on forever? if you look at higher education right now, you see a lot of stuff that can't go on for, but -- forever, but the big thing is this divergence between what people make when they get out of college and what it costs to go to college. ever since the '70s which is right about the time the federal government got into the business of subsidizing tuition and other student expenses, we've had a growth in tuition and fees that has been more than double the rate of growth in family incomes. and that means people made up the difference with debt, debt being the form of federally-subsidized and guaranteed student loans for the most part. back before the housing bubble, people would sometimes take out a home equity loan to finance junior's college. while that probably still goes on, there's a lot less of it because there's a lot less home equity the. so what does that mean? well, i

. >> he wants to find out more about that claim for the lawyer of that man, david wild stein. in that later said evidence exists that governor christie knew about the closings and is lying about. that and the governor's office attacked wildstein. saying as a 16-year-old kid, he sued over a local school board election. bottom line david wildsteen will do going to save david wild stein. >> and they are trying to attack mr. wildstein's credibility. that may be relevant in the terms of relationship they had. but it doesn't answer the questions that the committee has. how and why did this happen? and what happened when someone was 16 years old is not relevant to the george washington bridge in 2013. >> the christie administration administration she left. saying it is unrelated to the investigation. and after all of the subpoena material is reviewed, officials are expected to start public hearings in trenton in the next few weeks, back to you. >> big day and next few weeks, thank you, eric. >> the relationship goes back to graud school. >> but the governor said we didn't run in the

that is four instances of wild stein and his lawyer looking for a deal.lse that broke may have been the biggest news. a statement from the lawyer of christie's former campaign manager, bill stepian. a full jury investigation has been convened. this was the statement from his lawyer explaining why his client won't be cooperating with the subpoena from the state legislative committee looking into the closures. the potential for mr. is step pea en's ensnarement in the ambiguous circumstances that led to the subpoena's issuance is undeniable in this case. allegations at the george washington bridge last september is being conducted by the united states attorney for the district of new jersey. the u.s. attorney has sphene ad christie's re-election campaign, which ran. he is in a different position. according to his lawyer, there is a grand jury investigation going on right now on top of everything else. this was the response from the governor's office yesterday in the wake of the wildstein letter. quote, mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what the governor said,

issue here is safety to were going to take the opportunity where currently for instance, webster and stein the crossing are more to be desireed. the similar idea we're competing to run the businesses on the side service road and provide o a service stop which is not high activity area and this responded to the community input regarding strong access and safety issues so we can avoid if we do do a service station here. moving westward the recommendation is for the consolidated stops. so the project has a nuance. here the recommended alternative is for the local and bart to stop at every stop so we're seeing the time savings in this segment of the corridor and protecting the busses from right turns we're seeing benefits to the local and brt service. there would be fewer overall stop places in richmond so the two services would be similar in this stretch. this alternative is able to preserve parking. there are no loss now we're seeing now with the alternative and the reason with if you may recall the prefer alternative the bus stop had to provide for the local stops where the local businesses

wild stein is doing. the governor is here hunkered down trying to attend to the business of the state. all of this has become a huge distraction, any time he's in public like during the super bowl weekend, he's asked about this and asks on everyone's mind. it's going to be with governor christie for some time and it will be interesting to see how he deals with it going forward. >> subpoenas again due today. the extensions that have been requested, are those fairly customariry? is that something that usually happens in situations like this? >> yeah, very customary you're talking about people who have been asked to provide thousands and thousands of pages of documents. it's the course of normal business. we don't know who asked for an extension of what amount. they won't reveal that. they'll perhaps have a better tally at the end of the day. this is going to go on for some time. it's unclear when any of these documents will become public or when they'll be leaked, perhaps because remember, the real smokey g

wild stein's lawyer is he has the evidence. my question is, he has the evidence. he's saying he has evidence that could refute what the governor said in the press conference. my question is, it's 7:00, 7:05 to be exact on friday. why don't you say it right there? now if mr. wild stein is attempting to get someone, the port authority to pay for his legal defense, this is a way to do that and i'm not an attorney, i would argue i guess that's a way to do it. if you want to say that the governor lied, then show us how the governor lied. don't imply that you can prove it and then not prove it. then we in the media jump on it. what are we jumping on? >> right. >> we're jumping on conjecture or allegations. there's nothing there. i don't see it. >> paul, let me ask you. obviously you're on the democratic side of this. i know if you saw something here you would be quick to jump on it. you would as you should. do you see anything? my issue with this paragraph is, first of all, it says did he know before and did he direct it? that seems to be the key question. this paragrap
