then there is sitting governor tom corbett. this is a big story in pennsylvania. it is not a big national story. tom corbett is currently on the board of trustees. >> the pennsylvania governor. >> yes, former state's attorney general of the state of pennsylvania. over two years, he had the information about jerry sandusky and based on who you believe, he either assigns one person to the case or his office responds and says, "that is an outrage. we assigned to people to the case." over two years, they did nothing. it was called the sslow walking indictment in pennsylvania. the reason why so many entities have inferred that why he did this was he was in the process of raising a lot of money for his gubernatorial run from penn state alumnus and from the board of jerry sandusky's charity, second mile. he held fundraisers without alerting the charity to reason as he was under investigation at the head of the board of directors of this incredibly large child charity service called "second mile." the idea tom corbett has not had to answer for these questions is very prob

in a democratic state, tom corbett won 63 of 67 counties. pretty remarkable, as i pointed out in the republican wave of 2010 that saw big changes in congress. and governorships, as well as in state legislatures all across the country. host: when you look it the jobless rate, this may be surprising because pennsylvania's unemployment rate is lower than the national average. why is that? guest: i think largely because of the diversification that has particularly east of the river. you get down to the suburbs for you have lots of activity in pharmaceuticals and the service industry. yet expansion of tourism in the northeast. -- you have expansion of tourism in the northeast. basically, you have a mining and miltown area where so-called reagan democrats reside. a lot of conservative democrats in those areas, there has been a brain drain. people graduate from high school. dakota college. they did not return because there are not any jobs there. a much tougher economy. basically, it has been because of the diversification of the economy of this st

then headed by tom corbett, who was running for governor of pennsylvania.s office was pursuing bonus gate. an investigation of state municipal corruption. according to the patriot news for the first year of the sandusky probe, only one investigator was assigned to the case. it took that investigation a year to figure out that sandusky was the subject of a 1998 probe for similar behavior. and it took a year to learn that sandusky penned an oddly hitted manuscript entitled "touch." a google search of the name jerry sandusky would are revealed the book in seconds. this is significant. ultimately, it was a road map for finding victims. mf o whom were written about the book and even pictured in the book. to state the obvious, with a suspected pedophile on the street, you need to move with all possible speed so as to protect children from assault. this case took three years to bring to conclusion from when the high school boy first made his report to when he was arrested. critics suggested he drew out the investigation until after his successful 2010 gubernatoria

s are not the only valid tickets needed to vote and fact governor tom corbett pointed this out today and stopping voter fraud is so important to him that he can't even remember how exactly you want to do it. and of course the maybe. we can work with the good there's evil to get people to like the it could be military id. who is really very new to hear. why our what an eloquent defense clearly ensuring the integrity of elections really gives this guy up late at night but pennsylvania has election shenanigans do not stop there and democrats themselves aren't exactly squeaky clean either complicit in keeping a very tight grip on the state's political too awfully so the green party in pennsylvania has gathered six thousand signatures to get on the state ballot thus far and they still need about twenty thousand more but republicans and democrats will they only need two thousand signatures to get on the ballot so how does that work they already have a huge advantage in campaign funds the standing over smaller parties like a pair of giraffes on stilts but if that wasn't enough small parties

let's not forget our governor, tom corbett who was the attorney general at the time.ney got out of the picture and turned it over who was under the control of tom corbett. >> yeah. what did core benefit do? >> he sat on it. he sat on it after he got elected governor they intensified the investigation. while he was still the attorney general, very little happened. there was very little movement on the case. >> that's a good point. i haven't heard anybody talk about it. if core benefit better was out yesterday. he has been pretty vocal, since you say, since he has been governor. yesterday, he was saying piteder we have that clip of the governor yesterday. >> there are monsters among us that there are people who will hurt children for their own sexual gratification and that we do have to report. we do have to follow up. so what you are saying john, is that's not the song he was singing when he was attorney general? >> no. when he was attorney general, he drug his feet on it. there was not a lot of movement. they knew about it. as i said, the local district attorney, he k

now, tom corbett has signed a 250,000 dollar contract with an advertising company run by a mitt romney funder to create ads promoting the harsh new laws. take a look. >> you are right to vote, it's one thing you never want to miss out on. this year the law requires that every pennsylvania voter show a photo id at the polls. >> in fact, pennsylvania has nearly 76,000 people who don't have one of those valid ids. under the new law, nearly one in 10 voters could be denied the right to vote. in philadelphia, it's closer to 2 in 10. it's about 18% of philadelphia voters. 93-year-old viviette applewhite filed a lawsuit saying they are not going to be able to vote saying having been born in the gym crow south there is no record of their birth in order for them to have a birth certificate. in fact african-americans and other typically democratic volters are most likely to lack a valid id under this law. 25% of african americans don't have the proper id. neither do 19% of 4r59inos or 18% of young people and seniors. compare that to the just eight % of whites who don't have the kind of id that w

there is a growing drum beat to say tom corbett, have you things to answer to.hful, decades long lieutenant of powerful people. and very easy to pile on those already indicted or passed away and not look at those who might still be accountable. >> in part i think you're right. this fall from grace seems to be from the sense in this kind of action, sexual abuse of vulnerable kids is too far, too much, too horrible to be count nance, but if we were to step back and ask if maybe not about the most heinous crime, but the way division one sports programs have predatory relationships on everything from land grabs in their community, sometimes even on their own campuses. >> i make this connection and a lot of people at fmu didn't like it, between what's going on with the hazing death that they are dealing with, the drum major robert champion, whenever have you so many universities have institutions or some part of that university that has become bigger than the university itself. at penn state, it's football. at fmu, it's the marching band. the most difficult aspect to

they seemed to wrap themselves in pennsylvania governor tom corbett. >> he had come under a little pressure in why did they take so long to arrest sandusky. and he said all along that they had to bald case. they had to know that they had the evidence to convict him. otherwise this would have blown up in their faces. when the evidence came about the e-mails this weekend, we heard from shultz's lawyer who said earlier our clients had to sit there and figure out what was the best way to handle this allegation? because if they rushed and put that information in the hands of child welfare authorities and it turned out not to be true, it could blow up in their faces. now, whether that's an argument that we can all get behind, that's the argument they're making for now. >> jeremy, thanks so much. it'll be interesting to see whether the lewis free investigation also gets into the matter of why was this an understaffed investigation for the first year. why did it take so long by way of example to realize sandusky had written a oddly named book "touched." thank you. >>> up next, did chief justice rob

where right now governor tom corbett's voter i.d. law is literally on trial.ccused of violating the state constitution for that trial which is now in its fourth day, state officials have made a stunning admission. they acknowledged quote, there have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in pennsylvania. respondents will not offer any evidence or argument that in person voter fraud is likely to occur in november. in the absence of the photo i.d. law. folks, voter fraud is the entire rationale. why are they doing it? we don't have to guess. there's one top republican in pennsylvania who accidentally let the truth slip out. >> voter i.d. which is going to allow governor romney to win the state of pennsylvania, done. >> joining me now is christopher broach, an elections inspector in pennsylvania who says he'll refuse to ask voters to take their i.d. -- or had he will refuse to get this i.d. at the voting polling place even if it's upheld in the court sessions. also with me is rod smith, chairman of the florida democratic party. thank you

not so good in pennsylvania where a new analysis of voters revealed the voter id law signed by tom corbett0,000 citizens in the state or 10% of all voters. we know attempting to win elections by making it harder to make people to vote is the most craven kind of politics. and we know there's only one party pursuing this as a central strategy. it says something about the party when it is apparently afraid of too many people voting. >>> finally, we know "seventeen" magazine will no longer be photoshopping the women in the magazine. as much as we might complain about kids growing up too soon, we know there's a lot to be said for media-savvy eighth graders. i want to find out what my guests didn't know now that they knew at the beginning of the week. eric bernstein. >> i learned how disfunctional the word tax is in the city of washington, d.c. this comes off the supreme court decision about the affordable care ablt act. they call it a penalty tax to hit 1% of the population. and yet everyone is bending themselves into a pretzel, not even to say the word tax. >>> i learned that first focus, a no
