molly ball, national political reporter for "the atlantic." lynn sweet, chief for "chicago sun-times." you wrote about this and you also say that the obama campaign is engaging supporters about how to move forward. even conducting a post-election survey of sorts. what do you know? >> we know that more than one million of the supporters answered it and we already know that this big obama army is working on fiscal cliff matters where they're sgogoing to be, t are mobilized to help support the president's plan to get the tax breaks in first, but we're learning history, finally. we're getting it in the first david alex raxlerod is talking he never thought that paul ryan would be the vice president pick. >> who did he think? >> he thought it would be rob portman to help in ohio or tim pawlenty. he never thought ryan because that would introduce medicare into the political conversation and distract romney from his main message of the economy. that's why he thought he never would pick him and, of course, he did, and, of course, it did change the romn

hi, molly. >> hi, gregg. we've gotten a chance to look over the names on the list of the victims that were killed in this community. when you look at the list, it's largely children, 20 children, with names you see in classrooms all across america. charlotte, daniel, olivia, jesse, the youngest, a six-year-old boy named noah. the adults, the six adults were all women. the youngest was 27. the oldest, 56 years old. so this gunman went into the school early in the morning and killed women and children. the medical examiner, the chief medical examiner, having a third of a century of experience saying it's the worst he or his colleagues have seen. they worked well into the night to try to bring families closure and identify the victims, to complete their very difficult task and able to reunite the loved ones with their families that in the coming days will be planning funerals and memorial services as this investigation continues. the school is still an active investigation. >> gregg: we want to go live to the go

they've done a lot of interviews in the last 24 hours, molly. and there was one survivor that could prove key to this. what have you learned actually happened during this tragedy? >> yeah, the survive you're talking about was a shooting victim that got out and made it to the hospital and is expected to recover and they say that what she has to say about what happened inside that building will be invaluable to them as they try to unroughly the facts and of course, they have so many, dozens and dozens of firsthand accounts of people inside the school when the shooting occurred, that heard the gunshots and we had a chance to speak with a librarian that survived and here is what she had to say about what happened inside. >> the intercom in the the office went off as if they were going to make an announcement and then we heard some scuffling noises and stuff and i thought that somebody hit the button by mistake and they were just in the office and so i called down there and one of the secretaries answered the phone and said there's a shooting and the

and molly ball, political reporter for "the atlantic." the republican proposal includes ryan's voucher program for medicare. we're not even a month away from the election and they are throwing up on the wall everything that was rejected. why are they doing this? >> well, i can tell you why they think they have a mandate. they are throwing insults at each other and that means they are engaging. they may be way apart in terms of the lessons learned. but house republicans have put in their initial offer here. and you know, the problem for house republicans is not only have they nod looked at the polls, maybe they are choosing their own before the election, but not only are they not looking at the same numbers, but they are trying to address a different problem. they think entitlements are the only thing that matters. that's the longer term issue. it isn't even dealing with the deficit problem that needs to be dealt with. as long as they are engaging, something is going to move here. >> molly, the priorities in these plans couldn't be more di

molly ball and david goodfriend. molly, it was kind of remarkable to hear a member of congress say we're here, important times, trying to get a big thing done and he said this is the highlight of the day, nothing to do. >> well, yeah. i mean a lot of senators and congressmen are not privy to the inner workings of the negotiations. it's only happening between a very small number of people and sort of always been the case as the negotiations have gone on. first it was primarily between obama and boehner and now mcconnell and biden. but we are seeing some progress and i think the congressman should take comfort surely he will be let in to solicit the vote. >> david, what did you think of the president's comments? were they effective? what was the messaging and trying to get across and to whom? >> i was struck, t.j., mostly by the body language. not so much the contents of the remarks. he was confident, relaxed. this is a president that knows how to keep the cool under the pressure. the sub text seems to be there's hope

molly isn't a unique case. hardly anybody here in western kenya has access to clean drinking water -- almost everyone boils it over a wood fire to purify it. buying wood is much too expensive, so they get it from the forests illegally. kenya's forests have shrunk by almost 50% in the last few decades. janet omari wants to change that. for a year she's been working for the swiss company vestergaard frandsen. she travels to the villages to offer people an alternative. here in the region, she and her colleagues have distributed 900,000 of these water filters -- filters with pores so small that they don't catch just dirt but also bacteria. the people no longer need to boil water to purify it. now janet is checking to see how well the filter, called a lifestraw, is working out and where there are still problems. >> where we still have to work with the people is education. you know change is gradual. so the only thing we need to do is educate our community. will they use our lifestraw and have safe drinking water. so
