this happened in an up state new york village located between rochester and syracuse. according to the times of wayne county 53-year-old jessie daniels was home watching television with his wife when he heard pounding noises. he went outside to investigate and found someone with a hammer inside his father in law's home. they called police and went to find out what was going on. that's when he found all of this. the home destroyed. we are talking about paint slatters walls covered ripped off the walls counters fixtures broken walls broke in. daniels went up stairs and found four young byes 8-10 all with hammers in hand. he corralled them into a closet and kept them there until the police arrived. that's where the child endangerment starts. the boys, test mated they did 50,000 dollars damage. the reason thurp upset daniel's wife told them to stay out of their yard earlier that day. they weren't real happy about that. >> wild story. >> coming up next mother nature's fury caught on camera. an incredible lightening bolt making a direct strike on this skyscraper. are you exh

well let's imagine that this is located in rochester, new york. we were in rochester, we would remember that it was the center of the manufacturing world. the buggy whip went obsolete because of motorized vehicles became one. dealing with this as a necessity is really a pain in the butt. i don't know if you have done it. there is the feeding, there is the fact that not all of them were that nice. the whole thing is really a big nuisance. so having a motorized vehicle is not only cool, but it is so fun. you wonder why people would just pay to drive something like this. if you ever wonder why is the teamsters union kind of a tough union comment had to be tough. even though all you're doing is putting your foot on the pedal. every time that you see a job that isn't utterly miserable and dangerous, you will notice something about that job, which there was some struggle that created a little ratchet work structure, despite the fact that they are not constantly risking death. there is either a union membership or tenure for academics heard something. a

joining us now from rochester, new york is david shuster, current tv correspondent. david welcome back into "the war room." >> thank you for having me michael. >> michael: we have big issues to talk about with immigration. conservatives seem torn about rubio's approach. looking toward the 2016 presidential election, senator lindsey graham said . . . is the republican party admitting, david that they need the latino community and what does that mean for immigration reform? >> well, the republicans have long argued that latinos are inherently conservative. i have never quite understood that argument but it has been around for a long time. and republicans have gone out of their way to express a variety of views that would be generally categorized i think as both racist and classist against latino latinos, hispanics, people who come here across the border seeking opportunity and the right to work. it certainly is red meat to the nativist and racist elements. >> michael: yeah and those elements seem to come up. >> yes. >> michael: is there fear within the republican party

let's imagine for a moment that this bookstore is located in rochester new york instead of middle part california and if we were in rochester we would remember the 19th century was the center of the manufacture of buggy whips and the buggy whip went obsolete it has motorized vehicles came along. now i love horses but dealing with horses as a necessity to get around is really a pain. i don't know if you have done it but there is the feeding and posts and getting kicked and the fact that not all of them are that nice. the whole thing is really a big big -- so having a motorized vehicle is probably cool but it's so fun you wonder why people wouldn't pay to drive them instead of being paid to drive them. if you ever wonder why the teamsters union is a tough union, because it has to be tough to assert that even though all you are doing is sitting there and putting your foot on the pedal and and steering the wheel you still deserve to get paid. that is why cabbies get paid and every time that you see a job that isn't utterly miserable and dangerous but still pays you will notice something ab

anton specializes in investing in the financial sector and joins us from rochester, new york. welcome back. nice to see you. give us the read on the banks. >> i think the market has been a little early in terms of expecting results immediately. i have been visiting a lot of banks over the last few weeks and four separate road trips and what's very clear is the securities portfolios will take a little hit and it will show up in capital this quarter and margins really aren't going to change dramatically until libor moves. competition is really rough out there and not enough economic growth to spur massive loan command, so they're fighting each other for new loans and so again it is impacting margins, so the rate move over time is great. it will help. certainly libor moving down the road i think the fed talked about rates moving in 2015 and will be very helpful and the market is discounting that all back but in terms of near term outlook there is no impact in near term and book value is down a little bit because of the market on the security portfolios. >> do i hear you then sayi

one person writes -- let's go to rochester, new york, democrat. what mona said earlier that she thought in an ideal world, her ideal world, that 30 years old with a well- established career and a house and then you can have children -- that doesn't pass the giggle test as far as i'm concerned. when most of wage earning people in america say they're making less than $10 an hour, those are facts. i go back a long way. under ronald reagan, that is when those people had to be working, husband and wife. under him, both of us had to go out and make enough money to survive in this economy. in your household? caller: that's right. and i had a good job. but both of us had to go to work to make ends meet. thats during that time most americans, husband and wife, had to leave the household. to make ends meet in their household. first of all, i did not say 30 years old was an arbitrary cutoff or when you can start a family. i said people should wait until they are married and stable, and i stand by that and challenge anyone to say it's not the ideal situation
