joe johns is in winston salem, north carolina where john edwards appeared in court today. i spoke with him earlier. >> hi, eliot. well, this was a long day for john edwards and certainly one of the most extraordinary for him and one of the most extraordinary in north carolina politics and perhaps in american politics. this was a guy who was one of the top three contenders in 2008 for the democratic nomination for president and indicted on six counts relating to his activities during that election. so what we had are six counts ranging from conspiracy on one hand and a number of accepting illegal campaign contributions and there was a false statement charge tacked on at the bottom. the information came out here on the docket in winston salem, north carolina, and that's where john edwards showed up this afternoon to face a judge. he came outside after that and talked to reporters for just a minute. he didn't answer any questions outside the court. inside the court he answered only a few and the judge imposed some conditions on him and set him free on his own recognizance. so

who is john chapman? my favorite answer, he's the guy that murdered john lennon. that was mark david chapman. in the end, i concluded, and i say this in the book, that johnny appleseed might be the best known american about who most americans know nothing real at all. i should add also that thanks to john and his firm, all of that polling data, including pages and pages of demographic breakdowns now in the possession of this museum and education center, which is exactly where it belongs. there was also the sheer mystery of it all as i tried to do the book. thanks to the whole host of researchers, including florence wheeler who finally named down the chapman genealogy. we had the hints of john chapman. we know where money was born. we know more or less where and when he died. although a case can be made that whoever interned is not john chapman. we have promissory notes, we even have the wonderful trading post back in war and pennsylvania that shows chapman purchased, quote, two small histories shortly after crossing the alleghenies with his brother in early 1799.

john? >> one of the debating points on the economy sure to carry over through the presidential campaign. poppy harlow, thanks so much. >>> so perhaps the president can sell the auto industry bailout as a success story but he still have to defy history to win re-election. not once in the modern era has a president won a second term with an unemployment rate above 7.2%? and you will not find an economist who thinks it will drop even close to that number by the time president obama asks for your vote next year. so is he doomed to just one term? let's ask two people who understand the politics of the economy as well as anyone. the former two-term michigan governor jennifer granholm and political columnist joe klein. governor, to you first. listen to the president out of the box here. he has a tough job. unemployment ticked up again today. the recovery is very fragile. the president is trying to tell the american people it would be worse if not for me. >> there are still some headwinds coming at

to this card and which by then it was run by john barton son, john julie. i know it is a bit off-putting, but i will send you a picture. the delegates spent three hours here. they admired the trees and shrubs that have been collected from all 13 states. wherever they turn the basically saw yet another specimen from yet another part of the country. it seems america's entire flora was assembled here, from the trees that were collected far of north to the flowering shrubs the william had collected in florida. years they saw the trees and shrubs from the 13 states thriving together, branch is intertwined. today's letter on monday they met again to vote on the so-called plan, the connecticut plant -- connecticut plan was a compromise which suggested that the house of representatives should be based on a proportionate representation. in the sec each state should have equal votes. they had previously voted on the connecticut plant and dismiss it. but to everybody's astonishment this time around the voting took a surprising course. three delegates switched their vo

that's the john ensign scandal. in both of those cases the number two house republican eric cantor says essentially pray for r for their families. let the constituents decide their fate. who am i to say? fast forward to today. the day after democrat congressman anthony weiner of new york acknowledges his own indiscretions. they amount to sending compromising pictures of himself to women on the internet and engaging in sexually explicit chats with women online and lying to cover it up. yes, he definitely lied as far as we know there was no actual physical adultery nor is there political hypocrisy here. antmy weiner has never campaigned on the basis of his superior family values and other people having bad ones. he's never demanded anybody resign for having had an afare or having some sort of online indiscretion. so, congressman cantor what should happen to any weiner? what should happen to congressman anthony weiner? should we pray for his family? is this not for us to say? >> i think it is up to congressman weiner a

please keep him at john o'connell. he is a great resource. >> good evening, my name is -- and i am here to support the community, and i want to bring you some history of josÉ. he is an immigrant, came from mexico, and he has lived the struggle of being an immigrant and being able to understand and to participate in the community, and because of that, he defends and advocates for the people. all of the community that is here is here to support him, and that is proof that he is working in the community, and i do not know what is going on with the people in the authority to make changes. we have the commitment to give the community an explanation about what a person who is supposed to serve the community is being removed. we need that explanation. we need to know what is going on. when a position is filled, -- to make a connection with the district and the people. we have to support that and to honor that. thank you. >> [speaking foreign language] >> i want to talk to you about the results that were accomplished. i have

speaking of john edwards, watch this. >> john edwards is in serious trouble. he's been indicted on six counts over the scandal involving his mistress and the former presidential candidate has just appeared in court. i'm brooke baldwin. the news is now. any moment the big board numbers are going to settle into a terrible week for the economy. unemployment rises, home prices fall, and many americans are simply wondering, what's next? >>> a country on edge. yemen's president is hurt after an attack on his palace. now fears grow over how he'll respond. >>> casey anthony accuses her own father of sex abuse and covering up her daughter's death. today we're hearing their private and emotional jailhouse conversation. >> i have one question and i need to ask you and i know it's going to be a tough one. >>> and clipping coupons online. there's a big battle for your bucks. groupon, living social, which one is best for you? >>> welcome back. i'm brooke baldwin. former senator and former presidential candidate, john edwards, spoke a short time ago. it was short and sweet a

as you know, john. the independent payment advisory board actually now has -- responsible for cutting medicare and for doing things to i would argue end up rationing care to seniors. if we don't change medicare, this is what medicare is headed right now. it's one of the reasons medicare was cut by over half a trillion dollars through obama care. what i've talked about in the past is changing medicare in a system -- well, let's just say identical to how medicare part "d," the prescription drug program, now functions. i don't hear democrats saying we're theiring seniors off a cliff because medicare part "d" is a program that subsidizes seniors premiums to go out and purchase private health insurance for drugs today. that's how medicare part "d" works. it works well. seniors like it. guess what else, john, it came in 41% under budget since it's been in effect. why? because seniors are engaged in choosing the insurance that fits them best. >> you mentioned your position on social security. you lost your sea

in the late '70s, she met john service and his wife. after being allowed to the confidential oral history in 78, she resolved to write his book. she has since given talks on cambridgeshire national archives to harvard, just to mention a few. she has received great reviews, and chief among them, the 2010 award for distinguished writing i've the american academy of diplomacy. i think it's a fitting tribute to lee, as well as to john service. we're going to have each panelist to make a 20 million -- a 20 minute presentation, and after that we hope with time for q&a and followed by books on. and we will start with doctor caplan. dr. lawrence kaplan has been the u.s. missile defense agency historian since 2003. prior to that, he served as a status join with the u.s. army center of military history in washington, d.c.. and as a staff historian as the u.s. army artillery center. he holds ph.d in american history from kansas state, an m.a. in american history from ohio state, and a ba in history from ohio university. his book, "homer lea: ameri

governor john kasich took to the links to discuss what should be done with the poor. look at them. look at this picture. if you were designing an editorial cartoon about out of touch washington insiders discussing a failing economy, you would put them on a golf course and then cross it out because it would be too cliched. too on the nose. you would say to yourself it's like they're posing for their own "new york post" page 6 cartoon. (laughter) of course "the new york post" would not make a cartoon of barack obama having sex with john boehner while pointing to a sheep. we actually made that cartoon. but don't let anyone tell you political humor is a guying art. poor optic as side, why would john boehner agree to go golfing with the president. >> the president asked him to play golf, it's the president. you don't say no to the president. (laughter) >> jon: what? do you follow politics? (laughter) >> the president in private directly asked the speaker for what they call a clean vote. speaker boehner said no way. >> the president wanted to bring representatives to the wh

i think it is well known that john mearsheimer is deaf. i used that, roger wilkinson. the announcement of du bois as an epigraph. and he says there, you know, there is one thinker whose double overshadows both the movement happening here today is du bois. so real connection in between not only what is going on the level of contemporary writers. there is thinking about these issues, is used to my income having to do with identity, conflicts in the aftermath of segregation, the aftermath of obama, but also the voice has had an enormous impact on activists. >> what was his relationship, professor, with bush -- booker t. washington. >> that, of course, is an important thing in the book and something that has been talked about at great lengths in the literature and also is important. when one thinks about the history, activism and african-american political thought, john mearsheimer devotes an entire chapter to washington. so washington, of course, was the most prominent and influential african american political force at the time. and he really did, which is why john mears

did john edwards know where you were going? >> yes. he didn't know exactly where we were, but he knew about the money and he knew about the sources. >> reporter: but edwards' wealthy campaign operative fred bar baron, now desizedeceased, claie idea was his idea. b the government says baron spent thousands of dollars, including an envelope filled with $1,000. >> looking over the bay. >> reporter: suddenly, the middle class youngs were living like kings, with baron footing the bill for this mansion in california. >> we were living in mansions, flying around in jets. it was like falling down a rabbit hole. >> reporter: the indictment lays out just how the money was spent. to keep hunter away from the attention of the media and in the lap of luxury. there were pricey flights for hunter on chartered jets, including one for $29,000. payments for trips to florida, colorado and california, a $59,000 bill for a rental property. and, in just one month alone, the government claims $180,000 was spent on keeping hunter out of the public eye. at the

i'm sure john stewart will have fun with that in particular. the circus, the only thing could have trumped it is if she rod had showed up many the audience and sought her moment of vindication. it's not surprising that andrew breitbart showed up and sort of tried to take the spotlight upon himself when given it be opportunity. i do think though, he had a five-minute window where he could have worn the gloss of legitimacy. he managed to shrug it off by standing up there and making it about him. when in reality this is about the career of an elected representative. >> to be fair to andrew, he was asked by the reporters stand at the microphone -- now, of course the reporter it was self-serving for them and for us. we got great video. andrew breitbart and a microphone, the media got great stuff out of this thing today. but going forward here, there's a very interesting journalistic moment here in our history. abc news went into business with andrew breitbart. one has a fair reason to assume that some money changed hands. that andrew was paid for hi

joe johns, thank you. we'll be following the case and, obviously, following his court appearance going to happen later this afternoon. thank you, joe. >>> here's a chance to talk back on one of the big stories of the day. today's question, was the auto bailout worth it? carol costello with that question and more. hey, carol. >> interesting question. president obama will visit a chrysler plant in ohio today to tout his auto industry bailout, how it created jobs and save our economy and he's also clearly testing the waters for 2012 when he will be asked again and again what's he done for the economy. republicans are saying, get real, mr. president, with the economy reeling, this is no time for a victory lap. gop front runner mitt romney was never a fan of the auto bailout. in 2008, romney wrote in "the new york times" let detroit go bankrupt. what does chrysler's yee think of the naysayers like mitt romney now? >> whoever tells you that is smoking illegal material. the government stepped in as the actor of l

john kerry is one of my favorite people. i really like the guy but it shows you how far the spectrum of our political discourse shifting of the course of about 15 or 20 years, and house or deconstructed our sense of what government could do or should do for people that came. now that addresses the first observation that moderate republicans 20 years ago were in fact more extensive in their social agenda than president obama. that may be a fair point. what should we do in answer to simon's first question? get out there, participate. there are people, i don't want to name names but people say it really good things in the political world who deserve a lot of support who are articulating the different agenda. but even if it's 180 degrees, get out there and participate because citizen activism is good, and i will end by being bizarre -- declined comment about the tea party. even though i disagree with virtually everything they say of substance, it is grassroots politics, and that is what changes america. it's not politics. i used

john hendren, abc news, washington. >>> state controller john cheng says legislators will lose the salaries and per diem on june 16 if they don't approve a balanced budget before then. he plans to imprement the voter approved initiative which forces state to adopt pay of lawmakers until they pass and send a budget bill to the governor. chen says legislators will get in pay for compensation withheld. >> see if that works. nothing else has in the past decade or two. >> tried a lot of different things. >>> 4:39 now. let's look at the weather forecast. mike is talking about serious rain here. >> not for the morning commute. is that for later? >> later. >> by noon, light rain will develop in the north bay and spread across the rest of the bay in the afternoon and evening hours. all of us should see rain. a look at the area of low pressure diving down. in this big bowl. this trough right here. this is where we find unsettled weather. as it dives down the backside, it spins up and increases in intensity. you can see a lot of green there. it has a lot of moisture with it. that's why we could possib

professor john w. hoffman got a federal research grant to study the effects of marijuana on the brain. but was told he had to create and use chemical substitutes instead of the real thing. >> i had a passing thought that somebody might pick up on it, but i didn't really think seriously about it. >> reporter: but to the chagrin of professor hoffman, his secret chemical substitutes, named after his initials, jwh, were ripped off. and they are now the active ingredients in many of the spice and k-2 products, so popular with american teens. professor hoffman says his chemicals put users at great risk. >> the jwh compounds, these are -- these are dangerous. don't use this stuff. >> reporter: federal law enforcement officials this year banned some of the jwh compounds. but professor hoffman invented hundreds of them with this taxpayer money and now many of them remain legal, so, these products, george, remain very available at shopping malls and gas stations to americans of almost any age. >> and teens are d

. >> well, lucky him, john, he's okay. a time to worry is when your child becomes suspiciously extroverted, if he's suddenly fond of corny jokes or likes to walk around the dinner table shaking hands and asking, what's good here? what are we eating? when the neighbors bring a baby over, does he kiss it repeatedly on the cheek over and over again looking for the cameras? if so, bing, you he could be looking at four to eight years in the illinois statehouse followed by 15 to 20 years in prison. >> jon: terrifying, john. do you think it's getting through to the next generation? >> we can only hope, but it's not for lack of trying. already they're launching a statewide campaign to keep kids on the right track. talk to your children, jon, talk to your kids before it's too late. >> jon: thank you so much, john oliver with that what's up, smart? oh, just booked a summer vaycay. ooo. sounds pricey? nah, with the hotels.com summer sale, you can find awesome deals for places nearby. interesting... wow, i'm blown away. you look great

john huntsman's resume could be his biggest hurdle as he jumps into the race for president. after serving as utah's governor, the sometimes moderate republican accepted a job from president obama. serving as his ambassador to china for nearly two years. a fact that could hurt huntsman with the gop base. >> i think it's going to be very tough for john huntsman to actually define who he is. and if he tries to go too far to the right and beat up on barack obama, you know, is he going to look disloyal, and will voters believe it? >> reporter: huntsman was raised mormon like mitt romney, the perceived front-runner among republicans. in a new gallup poll, one in five americans said they would not vote for a norman for president. when asked about the polls, romney said the election will come down to the economy. >> my guess is people are going to make their decision as to who to vote for on the person they think will get americans jobs again. >> reporter: huntsman's expected to announce his candidacy later today. that makes nine republicans running for president. and there are stil

chris: does he matter politically, john stewart? >> he doesn't want to be a political player, but he does have great political power and his ratings are huge, particularly among young people, which is why he's courted, why the president of the united states goes on his show. john stewart says the stuff you say at home when you start shouting at the television like a cread person, and he says it better than anybody else and does it in a fun way. we need that voice. chris: he can say anything he wants. i do believe a lot of people get their news from him. >> sure. chris: maybe scary, maybe not, but he does have power. when we come back, republicans have to put their money and their chips on the tea plus, scoops and predictions. be right back. welcome back. here's my vision of the energy level at the tampa bay convention at the end of next summer. if romney gets the nomination, he gets up there. the best he could hope for is a polite, somewhat restrained reception that john mccain got in 2008 at that convention. that was before the tea

and jim wanted his story told and he met john berendt one time only and then john berendt approached him about it doing the book. that is how that came about. >>host: did you make any contributions to the book? were you interviewed? >>guest: let me go back in time. about the movie that is an easy question. about the book? i don't think i had any impact on the book. >>host: what did you find most frustrating about the book? >>guest: the most frustrating this a few portions of the book is the author's world, the world of president assad not jim williams. i find that frustrating. >> what about what he saw and what john berendt was about? >> looking at differences of the two individuals although they are very different individuals one thing that i found very frustrating about the book was that the author chose to present a very serious story, my brother story, a very serious and chose to present that interest rose two of trivial and social finance and finding that interesting but that is one reason it was successful. it is easy to read john berendt is a magazine writer and was when he wr

ktvu's john sasaki live with more on the fatal accident that prompted the work stoppage. john? >> reporter: look behind me, south bound 880 is moving well during this rush hour. but drivers on the highway may have noticed no maintenance workers were out there. telling drivers to be careful of the workers. a worker was killed this morning in san diego. he died just before 9 a.m. after being hit by a vehicle while he was cleaning up trash in san diego. he was the third worker killed in the past month and a half. >> called for all our maintenance staff to participate in a safety stand down today for the rest of the day, to revisit practices and procedures and emphasize the important of safety. >> reporter: back here live, the stand out ends tomorrow, except in san diego, it does not apply to any construction, including the bay bridge or this 880 project. john sasaki, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> dozens of workers rallied to raise awareness of a problem that hurts all americans. protesters gathered to express their outrage over -- by immigration authorities. it spreads fear and does no

itn's john ray has the latest from tel aviv. john? >> well, it's been calmer today. at one point syrian police stopped a couple dozen protesters. what a contrast to yesterday when many hundreds slipped past the checkpoints. i think that is bound to fuel israeli claim that is this whole thing was a syrian plot to divert attention from the bloody upheavals taking place in syria. the over great controversy has beenver israel's decision to open fire very early on the protesters. israel's military say they issued warnings in arabic, they fired warning shots and when they did shoot at people, they shot to wound rather than to kill. but it is certainly the case that they didn't use tear gas to disburse the crowds until late in the day. if they had used it earlier, perhaps there would have been less blood spilled. as far as the palestinians are concerned, they believe what happened yesterday is the beginning of an arab spring right here. what we haven't seen yet are any big mass protests by palestinians and israeli arabs inside israel's borders. martin? >> itn's john ray, th

john burns, are you there? we'll try to get in touch with john. general clark, you're former supreme allied commander of nato is. this even legal? can nato target a head of state like this, if in fact they are? >> well, he's not acting as head of state here. he's part of a military chain of command, as fran was explaining the logic of this. it's perfectly logical. the orders to attack civilians emanate from a chain of command. chain of command has operation centers and operations personnel. it has a communications means to convey those orders to the troops. and so if you' can attack the troops, you can attack the communications means. if you can attack the communication means, you can attack the command and control. and if you attack the command and control, you can attack the commander. >> i'm told we now have john burns in tripoli. john, from what you have seen on the ground there, what evidence is there that gadhafi is being directly targeted? >> well, i don't think there's any doubt of it at all. from what we can see, every time that nato says

i'm john king with cnn. i'm honored to be your moderator tonight, and i'm thrilled to be back in red sox nation. let's start at the edge of the stage. rick santorum. >> i served 12 years represents nentz united states senate, but i also have substantial executive experience making the tough decisions and balancing budgets and cutting spending. karen and i are the parents of seven children. >> my name is michelle bachmann. i'm a former tax lilt gags attorney. i'm a business woman, we started our own successful company. i'm a member of the united states congress. i'm a wife of 33 years and i have five children and we're the proud foster parents of 23 great children and it's a thrill to be here in the live free or die state. >> i'm newt gingrich, former speaker of the house. when 14 million americans are out of work, we need a new president to end of obama depression. >> governor. >> i'm mitt romney, and it's an honor to be back at st. ansum. hopefully i get it right this year, and i appreciate the chance to be

>> john hendren in washington this morning. thank you. >>> today's jobs report will add to the campaign rhetoric you heard in john's story. mitt romney officially entered the race for president yesterday. and he's making the economy the center of his pitch. here's john berman. >> reporter: it's uncertain what was in the chili mitt romney served out. but his campaign's recipe has just two ingredients. >> jobs, economy. losing their jobs. economy. job creation. >> reporter: unemployment is still over 8%. and according to mitt romney, that's the president's fault. will you have a jobs program, day one? >> absolutely. the first thing i will do as president of the united states, if i'm lucky enough to get that job, is return america to being the number one place in the world for creating jobs. i know how to do that. it's what i spent my life doing. >> reporter: his record includes turning around the 2002 olympics. and years as a ceo, helping to buy and build companies. though, he did oversee layoffs, too. still, jobs are what he wan

so look, i would wish we would have a candidate john f. kennedy ran on, you know, we need to get this country moving again. i think that is debate. we should not debate on who can cut more, who can cut spending, without can act sterner about the deficit. i mean yes, fiscal responsibility but we should not be focusing primarily on fiscal responsibility right now. sorry, david. we should be this should be, wh, what does it take to get the economy moving again. what does it take to get america back to work. rose: you are convinced it is doable? >> yeah f we had-- if we were suddenly told that there was a teat for space alienses and we had to do an immediate budup and all caution had to be thrown to the winds we would have full employnt faster an y could agine. and then we'd look back and say why did we think that was so hard. the problem, yes there are lots of longun obstacles. u have to worry about debt but most of the obstacles to getting the economy moving again are in our mind, not in the reality. >> jobs for today and jobs for tomorrow.

mitt romney, john huntsman from utah and tim pawlenty from minnesota. all of them are very strong in their own degrees among republicans. and then you have several interesting others. michelle bachman from minnesota. >> newt gingrich had a following. >> helps on a two-week vacation from his presidential campaign. but i don't think it's any weaker of a field -- i was thinking back to the first campaign i wover covered in 1999 in iowa. that was june 13 of 1999 when george w. bush made his first campaign visit. he was the governor in the field but there were several other people and that wasn't particularly a strong field except his last name was bush. i think this field is fine. there's been hankering for governor mitch williams to get in. haley barbour. >> on the economy do the republicans have to have ideas, plans or sit enough just to beat up on obama? >> i think it's enough for now to beat up on obama. after all, it worked for obama when he was run for president. when you're a candidate you can say things. so at this point i think republicans cannot o

i cannot get inside john edwards's had. i found it interesting that rather than plea-bargain, he is going to trial. and the word is because he does not want to lose his right to practice law, he may very well be thinking and writing his book about his own redemption that way. >> would it be great if you went back and wins this case and devotes the rest of his life and those of men's skills he has in the courtroom towards people who stopped? with defense attorneys to win big is their get turned by the money and fame. maybe clarence darrow was lucky he had that great fall. otherwise he would have turned out the same way. tavis: what is it about him as a lawyer that made him such -- what made him such a darling of hollywood and screenwriters? very apt question. he was an actor in the courtroom. he would do things like, he would start out like this. and then he would lean over to the jury and he would talk in a low voice until the people in the back row had to lean forward and all the said he would raise his hand and start thun

i am john oliver. great show you for tonight. fareed zakaria will be joining us. >> jon: what are you doing. >> what? >> jon: what are you doing? >> you resigned your chair. >> jon: it was a (bleep)ing bit! >> what? >> we were doing a bit, we were just talking about the story. give me chair. >> sorry. have a great show. you want to get that seen to, though, that's a problem. >> jon: i will get t (cheers and applause). >> jon: welcome back to the program. we're discussing the issues of the day, sex scandal and health care issues. for more, though on the sex scandal, this brave new world of penis-based messaging, we're joined by senior women's issues correspondent kristen schaal. kristen, welcome. (cheers and applause) kristen, recently we've seen several high-profile male organs leaked on the internet. (laughter) chris brown's, brett favre, now congressman weiner. deviant? disgusting? what's your reaction to this rash of penis photos? >> well, jon, i mean, it depends. sometimes my reaction is (gasps) and then other times it's (oh,

joe johns is in winston salem, north carolina where john edwards appeared in court today. i spoke with him earlier. >> hi, eliot. well, this was a long day for john edwards and certainly one of the most extraordinary for him and one of the most extraordinary in north carolina politics and perhaps in american politics. this was a guy who was one of the top three contenders in 2008 for the democratic nomination for president and indicted on six counts relating to his activities during that election. so what we had are six counts ranging from conspiracy on one hand and a number of accepting illegal campaign contributions and there was a false statement charge tacked on at the bottom. the information came out here on the docket in winston salem, north carolina, and that's where john edwards showed up this afternoon to face a judge. he came outside after that and talked to reporters for just a minute. he didn't answer any questions outside the court. inside the court he answered only a few and the judge imposed some conditions on him and set him free on his own recognizance. so

john ashbrook was a man who understood this. here are a couple of things that he said, and i'll quote -- "onions and their liberal allies -- unions and allies want a national health program which would push up deficit borrowing. this waste of investment hurts all americans, but it hurts workers most of all." they also said liberal economic theorists argue that a large budget deficit will stimulate the economy and produce jobs. in reality, however, large deficits destroy jobs. now, these are arguments regularly articulated by conservatives today. but they were uttered nearly 40 years ago by john ashbrook. he was aiming those comments not just at his ideological adversaries, but also some in his own party who began to drift away from their principles. john ashbrook never ascended to the presidency, but his government unquestionably heard his call and the result was the presidency of ronald reagan and a new approach to governing and the largest economic expansion in our peacetime history. i believe the american people themselves pr

and the person that we are honoring today is john osaki. now you know, when you meet john, you might think he is privileged. the japanese youth counsel was a grass roots organization in japan town created by jeff mory. john was actually a participant in the program. he came up and i got his first summer job? gcyc. he has worked in early childhood development. substance abuse prevention. they have expanded the range to include college access. substance abuse. youth employment and youth leadership. just to give you a sense of how many people are served there are over 8 thousand children from all /*eugt ethnic backgrounds. they help over 3 thousand youth to be the first to go to college. they put over 2 thousand youth a year to work through employment programs. we have to increase that to 20 thousand. his program as in many ways, revolutionized the way youth are employed in san francisco. the organization is often called upon by leaders and city government to implement now programs. they are established by governor mayor gavin newsom. but beyo

nichols washington correspondent with the nation magazine john welcome it's great to be with you to great to have you are the republicans trying to crash the economy some of them are some aren't look the republican party is probably the most divided political party we've seen in modern times you just saw it play out in remarkable ways on the votes on afghanistan in the patriot act where john boehner was scrambling to hold barack obama's butt out of the fire and so the fact all of his own and his own he was afraid the deficit is right resolution actually passed and so you have to understand this republican party is not a disciplined party they were very disciplined going into the two thousand and ten election now they're polling in a lot of different directions and surely yes i can guarantee you there's a group of republicans who would gladly get together and say anything we can do to defeat barack obama anything and that includes stirring up economic trouble but we have to understand there are also republicans who are very you know true believers in their responsibility in their dut

>> reporter: so much of it, john. and you know, every -- we went to a couple of stops throughout the district, and, really, it was all anyone was talking about. and, of course, we saw in diners with some of the covers of the "new york post" and the daily news front and center, and that really is playing into this. and that is why, you know, you hear some of these constituents say they're worried. they're concerned that there's more, perhaps, damaging disclosures that will come out that will really force anthony weiner, force his hand. >> mary snow, live for us tonight in the congressman's district in new york. mary, thanks so much. >>> when we come back, the day's other big headlines, including a new poll that's a message to president obama. help us get jobs, and japan's nuclear radiation, the government says at least twice as much radiation escaped as we orangely thought. how much of that might have made it here to the united states? that's ahead. i love that my daughter's part fish. but when she got asthma, all i co

this time it's about john wayne versus john wayne gacy. please explain. >> she's born in iowa. she knows john wayne was born in her home state of iowa. and rather than going into all of it at first, let's just listen to what she had to say and i'll talk about it on the back end. >> i want them to know that john wayne was from waterloo, iowa. that's the kind of spirit i have, too. >> turns out, john wayne the movie star was born in winterset, iowa. and the thing that's embarrassing for michelle bachmann is that another john wayne, john wayne gacy who is best known as a serial killer was best knoorn in waterloo. because she's made so many embarrassing gaffes, it's the kind of thing that people remember. >> well, she's been getting a lot of high grades lately. when you do well, the scrutiny just is amped up. so there you go. >> right. people like her. >> yeah, yeah, people do. joe johns enjoy pella, iowa. >>> the intercontinental hotel has been attacked in kabul. we're now just getting our first images of the chaotic scene. we 50e8 share that after this quick break. an accident do

thank you, john. so with that i'll hand it over to john mccarthy from i.d.c. >> hi, thank you very much. they just asked me to weigh in a little bit of what's going on in government with cloud computing right now. basically, i'm sure that most of the people on this call have heard of cloud computing and the directions it's taking government, private industry, etc., and a lot of the talk has been on the potential for reducing cost, effort. what i see in cloud services is that it gives government the potential to kind of relieve government i.t. departments of the need to maintain multiple systems. many have traditionally a system in every department, an email system in every department, etc. and while the department needs email, every department doesn't need to maintain their own email server. i expect cloud to grow for solutions such as human resources management, maybe financial transaction process, etc. when you maintain multiple servers, each upgrades, patches, configuration management, etc., moving

john, you went to africa. i'd like for you to read a little bit about your experien in one of the places you went. in uganda. >> "in northern uganda, i once befriended a former child soldier who had recently escaped from captivity, and who had endured some of the worst horrors i had ever heard from my years in war zones. seeing his hard eyes, his cruel demeanor, the dangling cigarette, and the ever-present vaguely concealed weapon, i couldn't help but think how similar these child soldiers were in africa to the child soldiers in the streets of d.c., making money for older people who were willing to use them as pawns." >> ifill: now, michael, if you read that literally, you are one of the child soldiers. if you don't mind, read for us the section of the book where you talk about your experience. >> "i used to walk around with my buddy tony with my sawed-off pump shotgun up under my coat. i had the burl in my pocket and the butt under my shoulder. we robbed crackheads with it. we'd only get, like, 50 or 60 bucks
