but when call people moran -- >> steve rattner is here. and steve rattner.crews are expanding their search for the plane and the 239 people on board. 40 ships and 22 aircraft, including some from the united states, are working as part of the search. officials believe the plane crashed somewhere in the gulf of thailand off the coast of vietnam. among the many theories as to what happened, speculation that an explosion or an hijacking may be responsible for the plane's missing status. over the weekend, interpol confirmed two passengers used stolen passports and malaysian intelligence officials are investigating the identities of two other passengers on the plane. flight officials are also looking into a recording of the radar, which suggests the plane turned around from its scheduled route to beijing. so a lot of theories here, and a lot of concerns, red flags, in what we know already, that this might be terrorism. >> yeah, you know, steve, what i always tell people that are riding next to me on the plane, when it gets turbulent, listen, we're fine. you get up

but steve rattner who you at some point i think you may have worked with him. >> yes.or the president. >> for the president. he wrote a piece "new york times" in the recently saying this whole idea of reshoring and bringing manufacturing back is a bit of a myth. in that, the types of jobs to the extent we want to be competitive with places like china mean you're not going to get the wages or benefits, that whatever you thought was the american dream-ish may be a little more challenged now. >> well, look, the way i look at it is not going forward looking through the rearview mirror. that is going forward looking forward to the future. his manufacturing going to be a part of chicago or the nation's economy, yes. i want it part of the chicago economy specifically in the advanced manufacturing which is richard j. daly community college is all towards advanced manufacturer. janet yellen who will be here on monday is going to see that school. we actually did a study when i first got here, i asked mckenzie and brooking to do an economic plan for the city. did i not want anoth

so, you know, i still think management is important and execution is important. >> steve rattner?ulie. go ahead. >> zeke, administration officials say they are considering expanding and extending the division to let the people stay on the subpar plans that were supposed to be cancelled. politics involved in this but from a health policy standpoint, doesn't extending the subpar plans even longer go against the nature of this law which was supposed to not only cover more people but give people more higher quality coverage? >> this is the balancing act of transitioning people over and making it as smooth as possible, while trying to get everyone good coverage that isn't, as you say, the subpar plans that really don't cover people and give them a false sense of security. i think that transition ought to go faster. the important thing is to get the transition and to make sure that people are switched over and really do have protection when, god forbid, they get some serious illness or get in an accident and need the health care system. the subpar plans are $3,000 to $5,000 of coverage
