rahm emanuel is doubling down on it. what we have discovered, first of all, it does not curve violence. and so, as you begin to look carefully at his policies, you begin to see the leanings that he has that are overwhelmingly the interests of black and brown people. i will take it one step further, that when you push things like mandatory minimum, it has such tremendous impact on communities, particularly as teachers, as we sit in front of classrooms day in and day out and children are dealing with the issues of poverty, not having enough food, being homeless, having parents in the penal system. after the black caucus in illinois plot is, the mayor issues a press release the next day saying that he cannot wait to congratulate the sponsor of the boat, which by the way the sponsor of the bill does not represent the community in which he says he wants to help. the mayor went as far to say he cannot wait to congratulate the sponsor when the bill passes. in other words, the mayor is saying that i cannot wait until we lock up

have them and succeeding school. >> asean, do you think rahm emanuel got your message? >> yes, but he still is not listening to the kids or the teachers. he's still not listening to them. no matter how big we make a difference, we all need to come together as united as one so he can hear the message and everybody in chicago and everywhere where school closures, come together as a unity to stop school closures wherever you're at. >> what does it mean when you close a school down in a community and force kids to go somewhere else? you made a comment, you either want to build prisons or schools. correct. tell us about that? >> you're base he cically take school down you're building more prisons. when you take a school down, they need that public education in order to have know wrong from right. you can have conscience but you might not listen to it. it's for the kids and children to listen to your conscience, and to your parents and teachers. make sure that you have mostly everything that you're set. if you get a gang violence, you can get shot down, a lot of possibilities

and maybe rahm emanuel. they know everything. and you're saying that i'm to perform and they have no research. why didn't you give it to them in the first place so they can have those resources and they can be a succeeding school. >> asean, do you think rahm emanuel got your message? >> well, yes. but he still is not listening to the kids or the teachers. he's still not listening to them. we -- no matter how big we make a difference, we all need to come together as united as one, so he can hear the message and everybody in chicago. everyone that's having school closings, you need to come together as a unity to stop those school closures, wherever you're at. >> what does it mean when you close a school down in a community and force kids to go somewhere else? you made a comment in front of a crowd, you either want to build prisons or you want to build schools, correct? tell us about that. >> well, it's -- you are basically saying, if you take a school down, you're building more prison. because when you take a school down, you're go

rahm emanuel told obama listen people don't really care about the courts they're not really focused on the courts and then all of a sudden we saw we saw citizens united we saw the voting issues that surfaced and we realized that every one of those issues originated at the appellate court level where some very conservative appellate court judge made this an issue that ultimately went to the supreme court that's how it works karl rove was brilliant when he said the thing we must do is stack the courts and they've been very successful it's going to take a long time to turn that around just a minute left i'm curious your thoughts on the budget bill that just passed the house well i mean the thing that strikes me the most is if you take a look at not one tax loophole was even addressed in this budget is she sixty three billion dollars sequester relief is is what it was supposed to occur twenty three million dollars in deficit reduction twenty three billion dollars in deficit reduction and this is all been passed on to government workers and the people who are out of jobs it doesn't solve

i recently interviewed mayor rahm emanuel about that. >> one, overall homicides are down 20% overall. crime is down 23% and shooting are down 24%. that's great trends. on the other hand, you know, i call every parent, god forbid something happens to their child in some capacity and throws the hardest call to make. and i don't want to be any more, as i said. we can't be a tale of two cities as it comes to crime. we have to be one city with one future where every neighborhood is as safe as the other. >> one way mayor rahm emanuel says is to keep afterschool programs up and running. >>> following the death of nelson mandela, senator cruz has a tweet and some of his followers went berserk. >>> then is carrie underwood too tabloid to star in the sound of music? there are seniors who have left hundreds of dollars of savings on the table by not choosing the right medicare d plan. no one could have left this much money here. whoo-hoo-hoo! yet many seniors who compare medicare d plans realize they can save hundreds of dollars. cvs/pharmacy wants to help you save on medicare expenses. talk to y

he very much more is in the mold of rahm emanuel. he knows everything that's going on. jack lew was not that guy. i know what you're looking for. >> you don't know what i'm looking for. you only get to vote for one person in the white house. we only have one person that responds to us, answers to us. that's the guy we elect as president in this case. he answers to health care. he needs somebody that's a direct line to answer to him, not down to sebelius and the ceo and the cms, no, no. he was elected. he should have been on top of this right from the beginning. and that's the issue i keep getting at. you're chief executive, mr. president, not just chief of staff or chief of state. >>> next, giving credit where credit is due. >>> this is "hardball," the place for politics.

emanuel in chicago is looking at that. >> the mayor of l.a. california, as well. >> san jose. decision.s a huge gwen: let me ask you about this, though. one of the other discussions in about unemployment benefits, extending unemployment benefits, whether it's a tradeoff for the budget or what is a chance that that's going to happen and economicdoes the good news depending on something like that? >> john boehner said the good economic news means it's not necessary but people on the arer side would say, there four million people out of work six months or more. in of the decline unemployment last month was in people who were unemployed for a isn't itiod of time so cruel to take away unemployment meant tothat weren't be temporary until the economy gets stronger and other people cut the unemployment benefits, you you may discourage people from ever going back to work and they may try to get on disability. going. sure where it's it's not chlor the democrats have the muscle to do it. is, it's aver it sales job underway. that was the key on the afford

last month, we talked with the chicago mayor rahm emanuel. this is what he said. >> i have done three budgets in no propertyalanced, tax, sales tax, or gas tax increases and we eliminated the employee head tax. it, we eliminated it and are structural deficit was taken down by 2/3. i believe that's the foundation laying for pension reform. >> that's the same dress i'm wearing today. that,s he been able to do not raise taxes and try to balance the budget and, at the same time, try to fight the unions and bring down the pension obligations? >> chicago is not detroit. the unemployment rate is higher than the average in the nation is well below where detroit is. chicago has similar challenges. have been grappling with these imbalances every year. they have been using stopgap measures which is non-recovering measures. we like to see the expenses match the revenue in a sustainable manner. , theension situation pensions are poorly funded. it is about 35%. it is shy about $19.4 billion. rahm emanuel has put together a plan and that plan calls for the

rick the manual who is one of the founders of this whole program the brother of rahm emanuel the former white house chief of staff now mayor of chicago recently said that no one has launched a big our campaign to get them signed up there or that they've been too much concerned with fixing the website that they haven't concentrated on selling this you agree with that i definitely agree with that here's why i do agree with that larry if you think about ten years ago when they implemented medicaid part d. or medicare part d. rather even though democrats and agree with it and there was this big donut hole all everybody came together and they found they had their constituents they help their neighbors their friends their relatives get in rolled in medicaid part d. and there was some flaws in imitation but eventually worked and senior citizens get to see the benefits of the same goes for the affordable care act what we've seen from the right is a complete total demonization of the law the reason we want to repeal the law so much is because we've heard members of congress go out and completely

. >> rahm emanuel had issue, and he held the line. then a giant strike. next thing you know, the small pay raises jumped up over 17%. that isn't what you did, and what you signed yesterday. tell us the difference. >> well, we had a pension liability of $100 billion in our three major pension funds. and we have to erase that, obviously, and we passed a law, a bipartisan measure, both parties worked on it, and we got it done to erase that liability, to put illinois in a much better path with respect to pension issues. >> so about the increases? >> well, with respect to increases in -- >> pay, teachers, union -- >> we want to make sure people get decent pay, decent benefits. what we had to do in our state, no one is losing their retirement check in any way. the cost of living adjustments in the future will be modified. but the bottom line is, we did this for the common good. and we have, i think, going to have more resources for important thing like education and public safety. >> okay. in the "chicago tribune" an op ed written by governor scott walker of wi

rahm emanuel, chief of staff during obama care, urged the president not to try to overhaul all at once. but the president liked ezekiel, and now defending broken promises on television and saying now it needs a good p.r. campaign. and so we ride along with mr. obama on his learning curve. it has been a slow and bumpy ride. bret? >> domestically the administration has its hands full with obama care. on the foreign policy front, there is a potential bump in the road with iran sanctions in that there is a potential bipartisan deal in congress to move forward -- >> brett, right. we are hearing tonight that senator lindsey graham and several republicans joined by democratic senators, among them chuck schumer of new york, senior man in the democratic leadership, will hold a news conference on tuesday to announce they will introduce a bill that will apply more stringent sanctions on iran unless they meet a set of conditions within six months. far stronger than any imposed so far and would resemble the shape of what they hope will be the final outcome of the negotiation. if the negotiation don

in chicago, mayor rahm emanuel is working with the nra and other firearms advocates to talk about ways in which penalties commit crimes with guns.ple who as has been pointed out, the number of individuals who commit crimes who have mental problems is very small percentage. a the love it is criminals who have guns. should being president extend a hand to people who otherwise disagree with him on guns to talk abouttiffer penalties for those who commit crimes with guns? >> sure. i think the president should have every person at the table, every group at the table have these conversations. let's be clear. we no longer have to have this rhetoric of being tough on crime. we have to be smart on crime. you look at the mental health issues that we have. just last month we saw the governor's candidate in virginia, his son couldn't get a bed in a meant health facility. he ended up killing his father and himself. on a good note, on the affordable care act, finly mental health is no longer a prxisting condition that you can deny someone coverage for. it is being treated like a physical illness. so

what we have is rahm emanuel's brother out there doing what he does best which is to tell the american people he knows what's best for them and they're too stupid to figure it out. after all, we're the good people. and the result is, this is not just a problem of what is going to happen. it's also perception. they've lost the perception war. >> let's put up some numbers, and john i want to get your thought on this too. when you look at young people, we know that they have to sign up to be the funding engine for obama care. look at this from harvard, this latest poll. 45% polled said they're unlike to enroll. what kind of pr campaign do they need to get these young people back? >> they're not stupid. they voted for obama. some of them voted to ree elect them. but they've realized now that they've been sold a pig in a poke. the economy is not getting better. they're discouraged over the whole thing. they're down on both parties. they're unhappy. >> we have a little bit of the president at a youth summit from the past week hitting on, i guess, maybe this is the beginning of the pr campaig

you wouldn't think it would happen with a rahm emanuel or john podesta in charge. things can change through executive action that are big and are important that i imagine obama wants to do or he wouldn't have appointed podesta. the main one being the supreme court has given constitutional authority to the administration, to the eba to regulate carbon he missions. that's a big, big deal. obama hasn't pulled the trigger on that. i certainly take this as a sign they intend on doing it in the next three years. >> i think, katty, what we saw and harry reid consulted with the white house on this but sounds like he made the decision himself to go nuclear, there's a powerful sense of frustration from democrats, from the white house they can't get anything done no matter how reasonable because the republicans, gop has become so intransigent. when it comes to executive orders and executive actions, they are like, hey, why not. you're not going to get anything done with the guys on the other side. >> whatever you think of the jonestown comments which podesta has come out and

in chicago, mayor rahm emanuel is working with the nra and other firearms advocates to talk about ways in which penalties can be increased for people who commit crimes with guns. as has been pointed out, the number of individuals who commit crimes who have mental problems is very small percentage. a the love it is criminals who have guns. should being president extend a hand to people who otherwise disagree with him on guns to talk about stiffer penalties for those who commit crimes with guns? >> sure. i think the president should have every person at the table, every group at the table have these conversations. let's be clear. we no longer have to have this rhetoric of being tough on crime. we have to be smart on crime. you look at the mental health issues that we have. just last month we saw the governor's candidate in virginia, his son couldn't get a bed in a meant health facility. he ended up killing his father and himself. on a good note, on the affordable care act, finally mental health is no longer a preexisting condition that you can deny someone coverage for. it is being treat

he hasn't really had that sort of thing since rahm emanuel left. before it becomes a big problem out there in public. i would regard this as a very good thick as the president reaching out beyond his -- the people he's comfortable with in his inner circle. >> there's been a bit of a debate percolating around nbc, lifting the minimum wage. they are saying this could be a real winning issue for democrats to run on and inequality in general in 2014. >> i think it probably is a good issue politically. and you also pair that with the unemployment insurance which is probably another politically winning issue for the democrats. certainly has a lot of populist possibilities there. in terms of actual policy and getting things done, i don't think that's any sort of near term thing we've got to first do this next punt on the budget and see if we can avoid a shutdown but not actually achieve anything in terms of overall, longer terms problems with the budget. >> dana milbank, you are a reporter like me who always roots for the story. and the lone star republic

chicago police chief mccarthy, who was appointed by rahm emanuel less than two years ago credits a new strategy that shifts the focus from hot spots as he calls them to hot people. some neighborhood activists worries that chicago is going too far. grossman calls chicago the new new york when it comes to stop and frisk. joining me now, angela caputo. thanks so much for your time. >> thanks for having me on. >> in goes back to the same debate over for example when people cite stop and frisk here in new york and they make it the rationale for why the crime rate has dropped despite data that says opposite. we're hearing a similar thing in chicago regarding the hot spot transition to hot people debate. >> absolutely. i mean the strategy is hot, people then there are a whole lot of hot people here in chicago. we're talking about two different things, but here police have issued more contact cards in new york city than the peak. police really are going out and interviewing a lot of people and the hot people strategy, that's actually a little more nuanswered when they are knocking on door and

they have a nickname, skippy, a sulfuric evil twin so fearsome that even the brash rahm emanuel scrambled for cover. steve, how is that going to work out? >> i think what matters here most is not the personality with john podesta, i worked with john for a long time and he's fabulous, but it's the policies that are going to matter. barack obama's numbers are going to improve if he fights for things migddle class people car about. i think the vast majority of americans want to see comprehensive immigration reform, minimum wage. when they see obamacare start to work, his numbers will turn around. >> ultimately do you think we're at that point, to go back to the james ckaucarvel phrase, it's t economy, stupid. ultimately we talk a lot about what's going to happen in 2014 but it's going to be how confident people feel, how good they feel about their jobs, how good they feel about their futures. >> i couldn't agree with you more. it's going to be about the economy. but within the broad umbrella of the economy, there are sort of subissues there. john podesta is very focused on income inequality

talk about how this came to be your passion. 2009 when thein chief of staff, rahm emanuel, and i were sitting around and talking about how i could be of assistance to the administration. at that time, i was part of the economic recovery board. i said, i wanted to focus on something, get something done. it was the area of skills mismatch that exists in the country. we have 4 million open jobs and obviously too many people who want jobs and don't have one. this is an area where we don't need congressional action, but what we do need is take best practices, where business is leading. business needs to play a leadership role in what the skills are that they need locally and regionally in order for them to grow their businesses. thater area of opportunity doesn't need congressional action is around the national asked or initiative -- national export initiative. we are really thinking about what we can do. we export. 95% of customers and consumers are outside the united states. only 1% of american businesses export, and 60% of them to one country. there is a huge marketplace out there. we n

it is what rahm emanuel that in crisis, a terrible thing to waste when he basically that, we are going to use this opportunity when we have controlled the congress to instituted liberal dream of 100 years. nationalizing health care. there was no reason to review and reshaping remake was asked of the economy as a way to attack the problem of the uninsured. so i think this will in the end, very likely to collapse in another way. the gop has to be ready and conservatives have to be ready to address the moral issue and want to make sure all americans have it to but there are ways to do it. they're a conservative waste to do it, honest ways to do it in which you aren't hiding the costs and pretending what effects are going to do and what your policy are going to be. that would be the essence of a conservative approach. i would say in the end, that is the outcome, very likely to be the outcome. we have to be prepared to watch it to solve them have an alternative. i think will be the road to victory. if we can do this in 2016. [applause] the mac i can't believe it asking a question a past tim

maybe you should get rahm emanuel back and ask him who is retarded now? leckie said to obama supporters nothingwere working for to boost obama. caller.mocratic caller: good morning, america. morning, c-span. somebody is going to get fired because of this website failure. fired, person gets lawmakers have to make sure that fired and theys don't collect any pension from the government, no free health nothing -- they are supposed to roll into the affordable care act. when you fire somebody, make suck on theey don't taxpayer funds ever again as long as they live. if you want to fire somebody. ray in south dartmouth massachusetts. i think somebody should get fired. obvious.tty i saw a thing were some kids m.i.t. did a thing in 24 and had all kinds of things strained out. don't havew why they the american people doing it, number one. a goodtwo, i think it is thing, i think they have the wrong people running it. i think it will be fine once it takes off. i think that the republicans will say, gee, we should have that this and not ran with once it goes. mark, mel

you have political advisors like axelrod and rahm emanuel -- i'm not saying they didn't care about whether they would be a terrorist attack but there iraq concern was are we going to have a second term. obama want to get away from large-scale military deployment outside of his initial search in afghanistan but in general wanted to move away from that. and i think it became very appealing to the idea that you of these incredibly trained forces that are able to operate discreetly, the blast radius of a hellfire missile fired from a predator drone is much smaller than the blast radius of other platforms out there. i think potentially they adopted a posture they're going to wage an aggressive, preemptive campaign using drones and small footprint military operations. at the same time obama's on to these executive orders very early on in his administration and wants guantÁnamo shut, he wants to dispel the blacks i. he says publicly and then leon panetta says we are out of the business of running secret prisons. so what obama did was go back to what was the clinton era perspective on condition a

and adding to the essence of liberal overreach it is what rahm emanuel said is a crisis to waste when he basically said we are going to use this opportunity when we have control of the congress to institute a liberal dream of 100 years naturalizing health care. there was no reason to redo and reshape one sixth of the economy as a way to attack the uninjured. so i think this will in the end -- it is very likely to collapse under its own weight and then the gop has to be ready and conservatives to address the moral issue and it's a serious one of the uninsured. we want to make sure all americans have access, but there are ways to do it. there are conservative and honest ways to give it in which you are not hiding the costs and the lobbying about what you are going to do with your policy. and i think that would be the essence of a conservative approach. so i would say that in the end, that is going to be the outcome, very likely to be the outcome. and we ought to be prepared to watch it is all and then have an alternative and that will be a relative victory. if we can do this in 2016.

. >> we understand why rahm emanuel has a testimony permanent his brother is his doctor. dr. ezekiel manual has the worst bedside manner of any physician i heard of. bill: it went back and forth as it usually does with him. he is a very high energy guy. what did you think of his defense of that claim, karl? >> i thought it was ludicrous. the president said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor period. he didn't say you will have to pay a lot more to keep your doctor unmy plan. frankly from the very beginning, one of the principle assumptions of obamacare is, that there are too many choices. that people have too many choices when it comes to ininsurance policies. so let's make them all look-alike. and you have too many choices when it comes to doctors and providers. so let's do thing in the design of the law that necessarily limit the number of providers and number of doctors you will have access to. that necessarily means the president was absolutely lying when he said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. bill: full-throated defense, karl. people aren'

president obama, he's back there in the back pew texting rahm emanuel. doesn't notice any of this. wonderful world. >> well, it really is a fascinating topic. p.j. rourke thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me here. >>> coming up colorful classic comedy. >> hey. >> isn't this a dandy? >> oh, boy. that's a beauty, fred. >> oh, fred that's better than the first one. >> and the best thing of it is because it's getting so late, the guy let me have it for half a buck. >> it's just been proven to fred once and for all, there is a santa claus. >> you're not seeing things. that's the richar goes and mertzs for a colorful special. this is "cbs this morning saturday." >> one of the things about season three is that carrie is committed. >> yes. >> into a mental ward. >> yes. >> i asked four five six times for a new one. there's no understanding. they offered me blue black. is green so hard? is green illusive? >> i think your show is so great but i wanted to interview carrie. i want to say, carrie why were you dumping all your pills into the toilet? >> right, right, right. >

it is what rahm emanuel that in crisis, a terrible thing to waste when he basically that, we are going to use this opportunity when we have controlled the congress to instituted liberal dream of 100 years. nationalizing health care. there was no reason to review and reshaping remake was asked of the economy as a way to attack the problem of the uninsured. so i think this will in the end, very likely to collapse in another way. the gop has to be ready and conservatives have to be ready to address the moral issue and want to make sure all americans have it to but there are ways to do it. they're a conservative waste to do it, honest ways to do it in which you aren't hiding the costs and pretending what effects are going to do and what your policy are going to be. that would be the essence of a conservative approach. i would say in the end, that is the outcome, very likely to be the outcome. we have to be prepared to watch it to solve them have an alternative. i think will be the road to victory. if we can do this in 2016.

so the only -- so that is, if you live -- listen to bill daley and rahm emanuel, both white house chiefs of staff, both grew up in a place called chicago, but the way they speak is very different. so bill daley has some of the ds, dumbs and dos speech. rahm who grew up, whose father lived in the neighborhood that i grew up in, but then they had to move to a better neighborhood than the one i grew up in, so we have some regional accents the same, but not as pronounced. the one unifier, though, is da bears. but if you look at the children of bears, we call them the cubs. >> that gets to a point, jimmy, talking about this a little bit in the break. lynn, from chicago, can appreciate the very in some cases subtle differences between -- >> subtle? like a sledgehammer. >> sutt toto us it is all chica. all the tv shows set in boston, somebody from boston hears the accent of how hollywood filters the boston accent, now how boston hears it. >> it is difficult to reproduce on screen if you're not from boston. some people do it very well. in the movie "the town," they did it really well. in the mov

. >> the history actually started in 2009 when the chief of staff, rahm emanuel, and i were sitting around and talking about how i could be of assistance to the administration. at that time i was part of the president's economic recovery board. i said i want to focus on something, try to get something done. it was really area of skills mismatch that exists in this country. we still have as i said, four million open jobs and obviously too many people that want jobs that don't have them. this is an area where we don't need congressional action but what we do need is to take the best practices where businesses is leading. business need to play a leadership role in what are the skills that they need locally and regionally in order for them to grow their businesses? another area of opportunity that doesn't need congressional action is around the national export initiative. we're really thinking about what can we do. america, we export but 95% of customers and consumers are outside of the united states. and we need to change the dna of the way business thinks. only 1% of american businesses expo
