mike tobin is in milwaukee tonight.illions and millions getting people to participate in this thing. >> it's been pretty interesting, shepard. the people here in wisconsin made up their minds by and large a year and a half ago. no one can be persuaded a lot of the money that was spent was spent on the ground game. the get out the vote effort. these efforts to drive people to the polls, going door to door, knocking on the doors. the robo calls, the celebrities who came here to attempt to electrify the base are key because in this race more than others, the side that gets their people to show up and cast a ballot is the side that wins, shep. >> shepard: which side has done that? how is the turnout looking? >> it's really hard to say. we have gotten reports of overwhelming turnout in the liberal strong hold of madison. at the same time, we have got a lot of reports of strong numbers in the conservative hub of waukesha. if you look at the way things turned out the last time governor walker and mayor barrett went head to hea

and 25% in a year, and not as much as the other stocks. >> okay, tobin.

othe opposite is also true. >> bret: mike tobin, thank you. in addition to the important state senate races here. there are other elections going on. one primary race has two democratic congressman fighting for one seat. steve rothman trying to hold on against bill pescorell. the loser is out after job. we have those results throughout the night as well. u.s. eliminated a prominent terror figure. al-qaeda number two man was taken in out a drone strike monday in pakistan. catherine herridge has the latest details. >> abu yahya al-libi is seen as a major kill. publicly, the white house offered measured detachment. >> he served as al-qaeda general manager responsible for oversees the group day-to-day operation. in the tribal member of pakistan. managed outreach to the regional affiliates. >> pakistani intelligence officials say he was part of the tribal belt. along the pakistan-afghanistan border when the u.s. drone hit. a telephone intercept described that it was a jock str jihadnist the arab world. video and lectures could be found on the web i

will not be as smart, so we have done a teaching also about when children and parents come into this tobinn learn about the system through this teaching wall. i am asking you to turn on the walnul that shows you can see that it comes down to the central valley and produces energy on the way. it has a variety of customers in the southern part of the area. you'll notice it is interactive. you can learn as you walk around the ramp, the kind of things. it goes from blue kite to purple plaid and that represents the waste water. we call this from snowfall to out all. do you know what happens when you flush a toilet? where does the water go? the water goes to the treatment plant. that will not be the case in this building. it would be a different experience because they would be reusing the water on site here. >> i love teaching. it is such an exhilarating experience when people began to feel their own creativity. >> this really is a place where all people can come and take a class and fill part of the community. this is very enriching as an artist. a lot of folks take these classes and take thei

>> bret: mike tobin on the other side of madison wearing the "special report" uniform tonight.s on tomorrow's recall election from the senior political analyst brit hume in washington. good evening. >> good evening. the wisconsin recall is watched as a measure of the cloud of organized labor and possible bellwether of the election but the importance goes deeper. eventually the nation needs to enact the reforms governor walker put in place, restrained labor's ability to get the friendly politicians to negotiate which contract for state workers. such contracts driven the cost to the state with retirement benefit to unsustainable level. similar to what the federal entitlement did nationally. walker reform enclosed the $3.6 million budget deficit without raising taxes. the state has a jobless rate point-and-a-half below the national average. 23,000 jobs created last year. you might think with the results walker would win easy, and maybe he will. but the polls tighten of late. if he loses it will send a message that reining in retirement benefit could cost you your job even if resul

>> bret: mike tobin in madison. thank you.mentioned what wisconsin means in the big picture depends on whom you believe. >> romney cautiously and partially engaged in the triumphant recall fight but eagerly embracing the bounce. victor is sharing the spoils. promoting a shared agenda of the smaller, responsibility government. >> they mean it when they say we want you to take on the tough challenges if the governor romney wants to be competitive. he can. tackle the same issues. >> romney hailed wisconsin voters to saying close to tired liberal ideas of yesterday. and yes to fiscal responsibility. he predicted more of it nationwide with conference call of the national federation of business. >> we have seen a conservative governor. he stood up to the public sector union went want more, not less of it. you will find in a decision made in november. >> democrats hoped all the g.o.p. fiscal responsibility and labor union reform and rhetoric would be repudiated in the wisconsin recall. instead, the liberalism was. the rnc pumped out

tobin, if, and this is speculation. woe don't like to do at loaf.his are you guys prepared if the governor retains his job are we going to see those demonstrations again? are they going to go crazy? what's going to happen? >> well, you know, the people who horse forced this recall and got us to this point equate themselves with the people involved in the civil rights movement. they are fighting a holy war. they are fighting the good fight. they got us to this point and there is a good chance if you look at the polls we just got that they won't prevail in the end. that's not going to sit very well with elm. this when they try to sleep at night, they are going to think of something new to do. the demonstrations got us to this point. they are going to have to come up with something, probably a court challenge if there snare row margin end of all of this. >> next on the run down, the son of entertainment millionaire sean colmes gets a scholarship to a state college. does alan colmes have a problem with that? later penn state in the spotlight again trial

>> shepard: mike tobin in wisconsin tonight. you mentioned the president. he and mitt romney are each holding fundraising events on opposite i'd side of our nation. the president has been in washington, d.c. three events much of the evening. he has former president bill clinton tickets to seat president and former president together were going for $40,000 apiece. meanwhile out west governor romney is attempting to win over contributors at two events. one in portland, oregon and the other in the seattle area. ed henry is covering politics for us and live at the white house tonight. fundraiser in the big city could get interesting tonight, ed. >> it could, shep. because he is going to be with bill clinton. as you mentioned, just last week bill clinton was saying that mitt romney has sterling business credentials. republicans jumped on that because it was not exactly on message for the obama campaign which has been beating up on bain capital and mitt romney's days as a businessman. although i will point out at the first fundraiser tonight bill clinton and to b

mike tobin is live in madison, wisconsin. what's the governor doing today? planning his big beer summit? >> well, the beer and bratwurst summit is coming. the governor got down to business. he assembled his cabinet for a meeting centered on nurturing the growth of private sector jobs here in wisconsin. if you look at the video, it looks like another victory celebration for governor walker and lt. governor kleefisch. the cameras were kidding kicked out and they presumably they got down to business. the governor has been talking a lot about mending fences here in wisconsin. that's why he arrived at the discussion of the beer and bratwurst summit to which democrats are invited. they have a lot of wounds that have got to be healed and they want to do it wisconsin style. >> shepard: any word on the lady to slapped the challenger milwaukee mayor barrett. >> she seemed to ask permission first. she said will i be arrested if i slap you? then she popped the mayor right on the left side of his face. she seemed to be upset because he conceded the race before all of the

terrible story because now of cash assistance for mothers -- and this is a story about mothers and tobin, about women and children -- is about on in more than half of the country. in the state of wyoming, they are the big winners on this. barely 600 people in the whole state, mothers and children, receive temporary a substance for needy families. no wonder -- you know you have 6 million people who will only have food stamps, no other income now? it is totally astonishing. tavis: let me ask a question of each of those points. we will start with food stamps. the recent days that you referenced a moment ago with the bipartisan consensus that food stamps are not a priority for needy americans, it was really democrats who disappointed me. you worked for a democratic administration. but what do you say about -- i know that your book is not partisan per se -- but what do you say about these democrats who did not stand up to fight and protect food stamps literally just days ago? >> you are talking about the vote? let's not over-interpret that. although, let's not under- interpret that either. it

"morning joe" starts right now. >>> it's kinds of confusing to voters here, because they wonder why wouldn't you

we've got gary b smith, tobin smith, jonas max ferris and julian epstein. toby, an intact health care law, severe impact on jobs? >> here is why. think about 50 the speed limit for the economy, if you have let's say 55 or 60 employees now because of the new law, we'll take that to 49 the. if you're under 50, guess what, you're going to stay under. >> the worse things are the franchisees, hanging on by a threat trying to recover and you don't see, unfortunately, mass, mass layoffs and businesses closing because they just can't make a profit on this, what does that mean? that means a lot less jobs, not a little less, a lot less jobs. >> jonas, do you think it's that unhealthy, there's a credit with small businesses that help the margins in this case. >> and a tax deduction, the concept of employees having to pay for insurance in the first place is what hurts. it's hurting jobs for decades. and no one has the proposals to get off the system and unfortunately, it's more of the current situation, now, i will say a lot, hiring is better off this week than before

smith, tobin smith, jonas farris along with mike camp. and former dnc deputy finance director david mercer. welcome to everybody. jim, bad and getting worse? >> i think it is getting worse. you have got consumer incomes that have flat lined over the last several months. consumer spending flat lined and then we look at manufacturing reports out of dallas, out of chicago and the esm number on friday all suggests that the economy that was firing on maybe five cylinders is now only firing on two or three cylinders. beyond that we have political uncertainty and the fiscal cliff that leaves a lot of employers worried about what is ahead and when you are wore relationshipped about what is ahead that means no jobs. >> david, we are seeing private sector is hiring and government is bullin pulling back. that is a good trend, isn't it? >> a very good trend. and i'm glad you pointed out and having 25 months of private sector job growth and creation why is why we should not let one month while disappointing albeit. >> more than one month. >> more than

here they are, tobin smith, gary b, and john, welcome. bigger government the best thing for the economy? >> brenda, this is worse for the economy and bigger government means one thing, bigger spending and being right now, uncle sam has no money, that means bigger deficits. we've been going through a three-year experiment now of more government, more government, more government and the results are in, last month, we created 69,000 jobs in all of the united states of america. so, what our economy needs right now is is a boost and electrified in some way and spending has proven to be not the way to do it. i think what we need is a dose of dr. romney. >> brenda: jonas, that hiring was done by the private sector. the federal government is pulling back and president obama is saying, no, it needs to hire more. is that the answer to this tepid recovery? >> i think it was the answer about two years ago. the private sector mostly state and local governments are shrinking. and the governments i should say, the corporations are hiring, just not hirin

quite a few years old it was basically invented by a nobel prize american economist professor james tobin of yale university who was my teacher when i was getting my ph d. in economics and the idea is simple just like we have a sales tax when you buy a candy bar or a bar of soda or a cigarette tax or a gas tax it's long past due that we have the same kind of tax on the financial transactions made by hedge funds and stock brokerage is and big banks across the world it's gaining traction in europe leaders in europe have already come out in favor of it the united states is behind the curve it would it be oh very good way to tax those who have done best over the last thirty years who had a lot to do with bringing us with the financial crisis who've escaped this tax for a long time and who now ought to be made to pay what is their fair share anyway richard explain a little bit more in detail about exactly how it would work and the end mounted percentage of you know how much these would be tax it's very small but i think people kind of their eyes glaze over when they hear anything about stocks

tmike tobin has a look eight. >> reporter: they intend to do nothing. they will not implement the aspects of the affordable care act. since there is no punitive measure there is nothing that compels them to take action. instead these leaders say they want to turn their attention toward november and join the conservative battle cry to elect a majority that will overturn the law. >> the american people don't want obamacare it's a political issue, and it's about whole presidential race, whether or not you want to implement it with all the additional costs and mandates witness or not. it's a political issue now. >> we'll look to the fall, fan there is a new president and new senate and part of a congress that is willing to change that, the next step is political. >> reporter: governor tom core about it of pennsylvania took an accepting approach after the ruling and said he would try to minimum ao mice the impact on his constituents. >> my administration will do what we can to insure that the negative impact of the law affects lives of pennsylvania citizens

this is all part after deliberate public strategy, look no further than this 1998 proposal to the tobin s tobacco institute saying the only way to defeat it back then was to build a coalition of groups more favorable to the public without the fingerprints of tobacco on it. therefore we have to resort to a more stealth approach. >> tobacco is a stained name. we know this. for this they fought the whole idea that tobacco kills so they have a long history of trying to separate themselves, that industry, from anything that taints them. so why shouldn't they surround oremselves of other ganizations that might not be viewed quite as poorly. >> reporter: they say its members, quote, are very diverse representing all industry segments, taxpayers large and small and it says it does not take any stand on issues based on who gives its money. a spokesman for all three of the parent company e-mailed us a statement saying in part, quote, our support of a diverse range of organizations that are focused on issues that affect our business is part of a public policy engagement. r. skrchlt reynolds tobacc
