. >> the new york muslims -- for new york muslims, the death of osama bin laden is an important moment. the upper east side has the largest mosque. >> i hope the suspicions that have been addressed towards the muslim community might be reduced, and we want to prove it we are all other americans. we have been victimized by osama bin laden's actions more than anyone else. >> since 9/11 many muslims in new york cut felt awkward and sometimes victimized, because a member of their faith inspired attacks which killed so many. he could do think that now that osama bin laden is dead, a process of healing can begin in new york city? >> that is my hope. one thing we have to remember is that osama bin laden died, yet al qaeda is not dying. we need to be continually vigilant and aware that the fight must continue. in my personal opinion, the best way to combat terrorism is through education and economic development. i>> downtown location that played a crucial role in the days immediately after 9/11. >> there were a therapist and massage people and food lines all over the chapel for those that were

when i became mayor of new york city the new york times took a poll. and the poll said 60% of the people in new york city don't want to live in new york city anymore. they want to live somewhere else if we could. 65% of the people in new york city felt new york city was going in the wrong direction. that is the most disturbing thing that can possibly happen because it means people started to lose hope. when people start to lose hope they don't create great things anymore. what i wanted was to change them. by the time i left office we had a new york city in which roughly the opposite of that. 70% wanted to be there and like being there. 70% thought new york city was going in the right direction and not the wrong direction. often think that in new york city with the depressed attitude we had in the early 90s would have had a much harder time overcoming as quickly the tremendous damage done to us by the attacks of september 11th. it helped new york city that when we were attacked we were a strong and confident city, and optimistic city. a city that the le

finally there was a great story in the atlantic today from the new york times which has been somewhat critical because i mention happens every paper issued by the new york times this year after all of them weeks to do stories and so on the one hand they criticize it but i'm going to put it into almost every newspaper they print so what's your prediction then for the wall street journal safe house do you think that it's going to be a success do you think that whistleblowers are actually going to go towards it because they're so afraid what the example that the government has made out of wiki leaks out of julian assigned out of bradley manning or does it really kind of put you know a dim light on all of us hope. you know people who don't trust we keep the expert going to trust rupert murdoch anymore you know i think we're going to see if this continue proliferation that we can say all across the internet because the internet is totally designed to share documents it's not something you can shut down by just showing down one web site and so what i'm hoping is an open community will devel

this is new york. basically, work hard, become very skilled in your trade or in your profession and be make money in the process -- and make money in the process, but then give money back to the community. and finally, this idea of cosmopolitanism, read shakespeare, read milton, read wordsworth and have a sense of the entire world. so what i think is really important to think of here is the way in which when we say black american or african-american, you know, an image immediately comes to mind, and i -- kind of static. what i want to point out is the dynamic process of making identity in this period. people had been kidnapped from and brought enslaved to the new world, to the united states, to america, to the united states, to new york, and they didn't become black-americans or african-americans overnight, but it was a process of struggle. and that was of trying to forge identity, and that was the schooling was all about. so to pass on -- that's circle number one. to pass on circle number two is the b

[laughter] that is righteous. i respect that. whenever you have to do. then she got me into the interrogation room and she said to me, you say you have education. where did you go to school, high school? public-school of new york. this does that add up. i skipped two grades before college. where did you go to college? how did you pay for college? you went to grad school? how did you pay for law school? what did that have to do with my case? i was just going with the flow. finally, she said to me, it is my professional obligation to inform you -- not only as an attorney but as a registered nurse acting as a dentist -- you may have a bipolar disorder.

start with new york. instead of having all of this private innovation, lots of people entering and closing, it turned out tie german fusion didn't work. instead of doing that, what you did is have a single food superintendent who delivered food in a system of city-owned, it would be an awful place to eat. yet that's what we've done with our schools. right? instead of allows private competition to come up with new ideas for education, we turn that off. it's enormously hard for anyone, no matter how hard working to affect change from the topdown. i have enormous admiration. joel klein tried to introduce more competition in the school district. but under his leadership just shows how heavy of a lift this is. i think we've had really hopeful signs from things like the promise academy in harlem and other results to have some form of proving test scores. i think we're unlikely to have better schools and to have improvement in this area without actually harnessing the urban virtues of competition. once you do th

to new york city and did become a pharmacist. so i was faced with a real problem there. and as i started my research to find family stories, what i discovered was that there had actually been a real will to commemorate in, among 9th century -- 19th century black new yorkers, that forgetting was not their way of life. they started off, first of all, in commemorations, for example, of important events like the abolition of the slave trade, january 1, 1808, and commemorated it every year after on the same day in ceremonies, in parades. they commemorated the abolition of slavery in the state of new york which was july 4, 1827.

we know that in new york, for example, the new york police city commissioner sent out a message to all commands asking them to be on alert. we know that in philadelphia the police are stepping up patrols around mosques and synagogues, checking them on an hourly basis. we have not heard anything yet from the department of homeland security but a former dhs official tells me that they have had plans on the shelf for some time that they could pull off in the event of bin laden's death that would involve heightened protection around transportation hubs and the like. this official stresses that this is not about protective measures, that there is going to be a big step up in intelligence and intelligence gathering. bin laden he points out has had ten years to prepare for this eventuality and there's been some belief in the u.s. government that he may have deployed people here, may have sleeper cells in position here in the united states who would on his death be triggered into action. so you can imagine that the intelligence community is going to be looking very hard at people already on th

can he get a fair trial in new york, jury trial, given all the publicity out there, tabloids in new york, some of whom have already convicted him for all practical purposes, what's the argument in terms of keeping the trial in new york or moving into another location? >> well, you know, we -- in the news media, i think, we always have this question. everybody is following this owe closely. how can he get a fair trial? when you actually get to jury selection, i think that -- i am always surprised at how much people are not dpolg a big case. i think that will be particularly true in a case like this. if you were to ask most people in manhattan two weeks ago who was dominique strass-kahn, i think you would get 99 out of 100 saying they never heard of him. now it would be less -- more people would have heard of him but i still don't think this is a big obsession here in new york. so i don't think picking a jury in this case will be all that difficult. i don't think this trial is going to be moved. >> all right. we are going to watch it together with you. thanks very much, jeffrey toobin, sen

york stock exchange for equity investors and maybe it's because it finally stopped raining in new york. >> tom: yes, a bit healthier no doubt for stock investors. let's go ahead and roll with tonight's market focus. the major indices were able to snap their recent losing streak, ending with small gains today. by putting some green in the screen for traders and investors. for the second day in a row, oil prices were moving high, climbing back over $100 per barrel. there have been a few bullish analyst calls on energy prices this week. crude would need to get above $105 a barrel to get out of this narrow range it has been in since falling from a post- recession high at the beginning of may. higher oil prices helped make the energy sector the best- performing area of the market. this s&p energy exchange-traded fund closely tracks oil prices, and while it has made lower high over the past month, it has not broken below its march and may lows. energy service stocks were especially strong. halliburton was up 5% on heavier-than-usual volume. morgan stanley's analyst says there's a paradigm sh

in new york. you know what what i think i think mike is some extent is correct but i think the united states'. position are to be and it is at least a this what obama has been articulated three three central point one some reform will have to take place to that no violence should be used against peaceful demonstrators and three that the united states will reward those countries that follow the first two rules but we have to also remember the united states does not have the same interest in every single country for example if you take the gulf states the united states is going to have to take entirely different approach because of our interest because our concern about about iran hence our policy and relation with it with black rain is somewhat different so we are much easier going with bahrain than we doing so say for in libya or in syria at this point that is we have to distinguish here between american national interests in various arab countries and is no question about it that our conduct and

you're in a swing district also in new york, staten island in new york city. are you afraid of this medicare program right now? >> no. i mean, i'm not afraid. i also want to emphasize it was a third-party candidate. that had a lot to do with it. but it's no question we have to message better. here's the reality. it's easy for democrats to say we want to kill medicare. the problem is it's not true. obama care changed medicare as we knew it, took over half a trillion dollars out of medicare, and put a 15-panel bureaucratic whatever together to decide what our seniors are going to have. i just can't allow medicare to go broke in whether it's 10 year, 12 years, 14 years, whatever, and not say we tried to do something. this is about saving medicare for the future. as tough as that may be, we have to at least try. >> congresswoman, was their messaging wrong or are they just wrong in the substance? >> oh, they are so wrong. first of all, anybody on medicare right now knows when they go to a doctor they don't pay a co-pay because of the health care reform that the dem

>> a bunch of things, i was born in new york and grew up in new york. it has changed a lot, and so expensive with wall street and most writers have had to leave new york. i found my neighborhood that was odd people and now hedge fund people. and l. a. has still that wei weirdness and it's so big that it never gets genderified. i like the weirdness and that the there are so many artives here and the smug satisfaction i get on january 15 when it's 72 degrees outside and i check the weather in new york and it's 11 degrees and sleeting. that's worth moving here. tavis: your experiences impact your surround sound. have you realized how los angeles will affect that? >> that's such a good question, there are so many different places in los angeles, i live near beechwood canyon and can be surrounded by coyotes, or grimy hollywood, or the country. or maybe a combination of the two, maybe a speed record with hip-hop beats, i have no idea. tavis: my friend jim wallace that helped kick this off. but recently there was a multiweek fast on the part of the christians

now i just felt like real he'll upstate new york? he's just up there. >> it's all right. 12 to 37 years for insurance fraud so you're okay. more importantly i'm okay. when i turned up, he said... i was so excited. everyone would say wow you won't believe it. i put on a special green shirt. i got my haircut. i was thinking, oh, myed god, i come to find out this guy is a psychopath and he's so excited about meeting me. i don't really want people to like me. i was thinking this isn't very psychopathic. i've driven six hours from new york and he's not being very psychopathic. finally i said to him isn't that a kind of weakness that you really want people to like you? he said it's not a weakness. i'll tell you why. i said why? because if you can get people to like you, you can manipulate them to do whatever you want them to do. >> jon: psychopath. >> yeah. >> jon: how long did it take you to get him to reveal the face of the psychopath? >> about three hours. i met him about 15 years ago. >> jon: when he was not in prison. >> he was living

is that the legacy of this race in upstate new york? >> well, you can try to end it, and that's what they're trying to do in the ryan budget. you've heard senator mcconnell. he says even after the election in the 26th, he's comfortable with the ryan budget. you see the "wall street journal" writing no retreat on medicare. newt gingrich gets attacked because he says the ryan plan is wrong. look, the only way we're going to come to an agreement on the budget and the debt ceiling is if senator mcconnell and his republican colleagues take the ryan plan off the table and take it off now. >> but it is off -- senator, it is off the table. it failed in the senate. look, you've got a reality here as democrats where your hometown newspaper, "the new york times" this morning talks about the high price of timidity of the democrats on medicare. and here was, as senator mcconnell referred to, former president clinton speaking about the deficit and medicare this week. he had a warning for democrats, and this is what he said. >> i'm afraid that the dem

new york? some of whom have already convicted him for all practical purposes? what's the argument in terms of keeping the trial in new york or moving it to another location? >> well, you know, we in the news media i think, we always have this question. everybody's following this so closely. how can he get a fair trial. when you actually get to jury selection, i think i am always surprised at how much people are not following a big case. and i think that will be particularly true in a case like this. if you were to ask most people in manhattan two weeks ago, who was dominique strauss-kahn, i think you would get 99 out of 100 saying they heard of him. now it would be less -- it would be more people would have heard of him but i still don't think this is a big obsession here in new york. so i don't think the picking a jury in this case will be all that difficult and i don't think this trial is going to be moved. >> we're going to watch it together with you, jeffrey, thanks very much. jeffrey toobi
