let's speak to patty listening to that from washington d.c. and patty we have president barack obama describing counter terrorism cooperation with france as being excellent and said that the u.s. would do all it can to help authorities in paris track down the perpetrators of this attack. >> from the u.s. perspective the biggest question is what exactly does the u.s. provide. we heard from james and saying the f.b.i. is going to send a team to work and possibly send a team and work in his words with their counterparts in france and this brings up the question we may never get answers to but nsa we know because of edward snowden has a huge spying apparatus in europe and will they provide information on the mysterious attackers so obviously the president hinting at that with counter terrorism abilities and have a that relationship with france and that they are willing to provide the help in order as the president in his words to hunt down those responsible. >> how would you describe the general mood the sentiment there in washington d.c. obviousl

in washington, d.c. i'm ray suarez. >> the united states is in the midst of the worst drug addiction epidemic in its history. but it's not a crisis of illegal drugs. it's one of prescription painkillers - oxycodone, hydrocodone, and other legal narcotics, all related to opium. collectively they are called opioids. >> these are the opioid painkillers. and prescriptions for drugs like these have more than quadrupled over the last 15 years - to the extent that the us now consumes more than 80 percent of the global supply of these drugs. >> overdoses from prescription opioid drugs now kill nearly seventeen thousand americans every year. that's one overdose death every thirty minutes. >> the overdose rate which might have been 1 or 2 a month in our emergency department is now more like 3 or 4 or 5 if not more than that, in a 24-hour period. >> that's a massive increase. >> massive. >> over the past 10 years, we've had more than 125,000 americans lose their lives to painkiller overdose deaths. >> the food and

joining us from washington, d.c. is gordon gray, director of fiscal policy at the american action forum. good to see you. thank you for your time. mitt romney senator rand paul two republicans believe inequality is a problem in this country. the president said that it is key to moving the country forward. do you believe it is is problem and if you do, what should be done about it? >> i think there are a number of economic challenges that the nation faces, and i think its just a matter of priorities. i think the most important challenge that we face is that we're six years past a recession, and we're only just now seeing some of these signs of recovery, yet we're only projected to grow at 2-point% to 2.5% over the next ten years. i did not hear from the president how he's going to change that project tore. >> what did the numbers suggest in your mind should be done? >> i think if you ask anybody out there about our tax code, i think just about everybody would agree that it's broken. i think we can all agree that the r

americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like obamacare. it's a mindset that gave us political talking points, not serious solutions. that's why the new republican majority you elected started by reforming congress to make it function again. and now, we're working hard to pass the kind of serious job- creation ideas you deserve. one you've probably heard about is the keystone jobs bill. president obama has been delaying this bipartisan infrastructure project for years even though many members of his party, unions and a strong majority of americans support it. the president's own state department has said keystone's construction could support thousands of jobs and pump billions into our economy, and do it with minimal environmental impact. we worked with democrats to pass this bill through the house. we're doing the same now in the senate. president obama will soon have a decision to make: will he sign the bill or block good american jobs? there's a lot we can achieve if we work

washington has failed them. they want to know that if you make a promise that you don't keep, they have the chance to hold you responsible. and results driven because they're tired of the rhetoric that they get out of their town and they want you to deliver for them. if you give them an agenda that says you deserve schools that actually teach children, you deserve a police force that keeps the cities safe and keeps us feeling secure, you deserve a cleaner, safer, healthier, environment, you list five or six points and you do it now in your state of the city speeches, you deserve, i promise you that that empowerment, the people that you represent, how they will take that is that you respect them, you appreciate them and you want to deliver for them. you deserve is the most empowering way you can communicate your agenda going forward. now i want to get i done checklist. in fact, i've got one more thing here. of all of the things that you can do, you want to prove that you have a record of results. action. solution

colorado and washington were the first two states to green light marijuana for recreational use and now kentucky and arizona, a number of others may be following in their path. but is there a right way or a wrong way to go about this? entrepreneurs promise to capitalize on what is a very lucrative industry. some say that regulation and oversight are mere after thoughts, leaving a public health crisis as one of the unintended consequences. here with us is is the martha stewart of marijuana. and the author of marijuana legalization, what everyone needs to know. mark has written extensively on this topic, and michael gordon cush tourism, colorado's first marijuana tours. so michelle, you look at the trends and the polls, and it's really true, a lot of people do believe that it's just a when, and not an if. some estimate that the next decade or two, from your perspective, where is this conversation at right now in the u.s.? >> i actually think that it's going to happen much sooner than people realize. i believe that by 2016 we'll see a revenue of $32 billion. and they're looking at colorado

he joins me from washington. seth one does not need to be an expert like you to understand that jobs create prosperity. so why is the reality that these jobs are not moving wages up? people associate gaining wages with becoming more prosperous, and they're rightfully not seeing that. >> ali we are doing a lot better on jobs, 3 million jobs last year but still not enough jobs for the number of people who want to work and can work. we still have millions and millions of americans who are working part time when they want to be working full time. we have people who have left the labor market who like to come back this. we still have people looking for jobs who are not finding them. with that slack in the labor market wages are not going to rise and workers do not have enough bargain thinging power and force their employers to give them a little bit more in their paychecks. >> one thing that the people have come to understand is the relationship between tighter employment, lower unemployment, more jobs, and wages is n

we'll get an update from our correspondent in washington, d.c. but first let's remind you of what happened. on december 30th, a group of soldiers attacked the presidential palace and four people were killed. it's president returned to the country from neighboring chad the following day saying things were back to normal. he announced the failed coup was based by disdidn'ts in the u.s. u.k. and elsewhere. >> reporter: the authorities arrested two men who are described as finance financier and leader of the conspiracy, and another man with gambian descent descent, and according to the criminal affidavit the two men were members of approximately 10 to 12 members of the conspiracy who entered the gambia in an attempt to carry out the coup and hopefully to inspire other dissidents inside the country to rise up against the government. now in addition to that we had reports that two members of the conspiracy who were killed, including a colonel an american an american american asylummee and another who was killed, as i said. the united states had previou

she covered the story for "the washington post." soufer the numbers have been getting worse over number right. ten years ago it was only four states that have more than half their population schoolchildren populations qualify for free or reduced lunches, now it's 21 states. >> that's right, hari we've seen a really rapid acceleration in this group of kids. and of course you know people point to the 2008 recession as something that really made these numbers explode. but we've seen continued acceleration. it hasn't stabilized. it's getting worse. and now we're at 51%. so a majority of public schoolkids qualify for free food. >> srennivasan: so what are some of the other strains on the system. in your story i remember seeing that basically teachers are starting to act more than just teachers, they are social workers they're psychologists. >> well, if you talk to any teacher in a high-poverty school, they will tell you that they spend a huge amount of their time just making sure the kids are okay. i mean these kids don't come into schoo

mexico's president meets pram in washington. american capitol joins us live from the white house, see a few lines are coming out of that meeting what are you hearing about it? the president, president obama running just a little bit late, so we are just now starting to see the two leaders video cameras were allowed in able to play just the beginning of president obama's comments and the issue of human rights in the 43 missing students that was a top of the agenda, i can tell you the protestors that have gathers would have liked to have seen that and is that the mexican government has made reformates he applauded it wasn't even then that he brought it up. commerce and funding of infrastructure and trade. than he got to the 43 students basically saying we have been following the tragic events of the students whose lives were lost. basically said the obama administration supports those reforms. >> global stock have fallen for a second day in part driven by fears of the oil prices which fell below 50-dollar as barrel on monday it is

lisa stark is in washington d.c. with more. >> reporter: john, do same sex couples have a constitutional right to marry? that is the key civil rights question the u.s. sprorlt will now decide. they will decide it in the case -- u.s. supreme court will decide. they will decide it in four cases, michigan, ohio, kentucky and tennessee all ban same sex marriage. earlier this session the supreme court punted on that question. really their hand was forced because in november the sixth circuit ruled that there is no constitutional right to same sex marriage. and that conflicted with rulings by other appellate courts. so it is up to the supreme court to decide. now, the court has touched on this issue in the past. it did decide a case but on procedural grounds that allowed same sex marriages to proceed in california. they didn't really decide that one on the merits of the case though. and they also threw out part of the federal defense of marriage act. they said the federal government does need to recognize same sex marriage

reduce the burdens in the power of washington. it weakens the course of power in washington. number seven, we need to audit the federal reserve. one of the most corrosive things we have seen in the last six years has been an easy money policy qe one, qe two and qe infinity. i am reminded of john edwards's speech to america. john edwards, in this respect is right. another sentence rarely set. if you go to wall street, if you go to those with wealth and power lock the corridors of power in the obama administration, the conventional view, easy money is great. the conventional view is, we are not seeing significant inflation. i will tell you, if you go talk to working men, if you talk to an hispanic laborer, like my father when he came to this country, if you talk to a single mom waiting tables at a diner they have seen the price of milk go up, the price of chicken go up the price of ground beef go up. they have seen until recently the price of gasoline go up. they had seen the price of electricity go up, their health insurance, they were promised a $2500 cut and they had seen it

assistant editorial page editor james freeman and washington columnist kim strassel. so kim, start with you. the president's agenda sounded to me like one more appropriate to say one where nancy pelosi was speaker of the house. kind of a wish list of things what's going to give away. what's the thinking here on his part, the political calculation? >> well, if it wasn't clear already from his veto threats and his executive orders and general aggressiveness from the midterms he has no real interest in working with republicans over the next two years. >> really? it was that definitive of a declaration? >> oh, yeah. i think that's what this state of the union was declaring which is he intends to use the next two years to lay the groundwork for maybe even set the terms for a presidential run by hillary clinton or elizabeth warren and it's going to be all about the middle class and how democrats will make the argument they can make things better with government giveaways to the middle class than republicans ever can. >> well, i want to talk about the reason for that. becaus

mark ruleman joins us from washington. mark how do you rate president obama's efforts on trying to deal with student debt issues both existing student debt and the potential for accumulation of it for students who are going into school? >> well i think as you've shown the president is faced pretty unrelenting opposition not just from congress but from state governments that have slashed higher education funding. throughout the recession and even before that. and that's what's caused rising tuition. i think this administration has credit for understand that and taken.steps for lowering student debt payments and expanding pell grants and up until now, up to two years free community college tuition. part of rising debt students shouldn't have to take on. we are talking about three or $4,000 or even more. more than half of community college students have children work 20 hours a wook or more and four in 10 college students are taking on debt in order to graduate. that was unheard of 20 years ago. and president obama deserves c

she embodies washington. she lives in washington. she worked in washington. you look at everything that people dislike about washington she embodies it. what we need is a contrast that says we need a fresh, new perspective that says the answers to the ailments of our nation do not come out of our nation's capitol. >> the winter meeting, tea party favorite dr. ben carson who compared the islamic state to another famous group of rebels from american history. look at this. >> a bunch of ragtag militia men defeated the most powerful and professional military force on the planet. why? because they believed in what they were doing. they were willing to die for what they believed in. the british were not. fast-forward to today. what do we have? we have got isis. they got the wrong philosophy. but they're willing to die for what they believe while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness. we have to change that. >> carson predicted the media would pounce on the statements and suggest that he was equating isis to the

washington has not stepped up to solving challenges. powerful forces are transforming the way we interact, in terms of our jobs, our neighborhoods and our cities. consider the following -- globalization pits american workers against the world. new industries are replacing old manufacturing, while new technologies threaten to automate their jobs. income inequality is eroding the middle class, making it harder for hard working taxpayers to support a family, to own a home and get a good education. major demographic changes are bringing very different cultures into closer contact while baby boomers are entering the retirement age, which is straining pension and health care budgets. climate change threatens our homes and infrastructure. and what has emerged to be the most critical issue of the day and certainly of my presidency is a growing gulf of the mistrust between communities of color and law enforcement in many of our cities. we are a nation built on trust. when that trust is grown, we -- that trust is broken, must find ways to rebuild

i met will in seattle, washington and we met with a group of employees of boeing corporation who make that aircraft. my introduction to the story. i asked them at one point would you fly on the aircraft? this is months after the airplane have been put back in the air because the battery problem is supposedly fixed. about half them said they would not. that told me immediately that there was something other than the battery that was raising concerns within the boeing workforce. the people who seemed to know that plane best of all. i didn't know much about the planes at all, but when we began digging into it it took a very long time, a year. >> we have our online community third host of the show we see sometimes lisa they usually tweet in using the #ajam stream. has the failure come from a new model in employing contractors? and specifically there has been some discussion that boeing has changed some practices after the 97 merger with mcdonnell dug last, what is your short answer? >> the short answer is yes after 1997 boeing merged with mcdonnell douglas, another large aerospace company

a mention cab president is in washington, with organized crime high on the agenda. we beagain in turkey where a suicide bomber has blown himself up in the historic district. one officer was killed and another is injured. the blasts happened is popular with tourists, and is home to the blue mosque and mow seem. bring you more on that information. the israeli court has given three life sentences over the kid map and murder of three israeli teenagers. the court found that was guilty of planning and finance thing the abduction in june. the bodies of i.l. were found in a field near the city. more details from jerusalem. >> upon reading the verdict, the judge stateses this one of the worst cases of kid happening and murder, in israel's history. it also said that it let to an influence a great influence on the security situation here now, of course, he was accused convicted of financing and planning the kidnapping of the three teenagers and murder, they were found buried in a plot of land that he owns in the occupied west bank and what prompted this in the end the massive

as sequestration and said it would help the middle class and boost spending on defense and we are in washington d.c. for us and lisa what else do we know about the proposed budget? >> reporter: tony the white house and president calling the budget middle class economics. as you mentioned a key part of this in something they announced today is that the budget would try to end those across the board budget cuts that went this effect in 2013 so the president is proposing an increase in spending over the current budget limits of 7 p%, $74 billion increase half go to defense, half to domestic programs. now in a piece the president wrote if congress rejects my plan and refuses to undo these arbitrary cuts it will threaten our economy and our military. so how are they going to pay for the increased spending? the white house says cutting waste and closing tax holes on the wealthy. and to help the middle class the president proposed a number of things and outlined many of them in the state of the union speech including tax credits for child care paid sick leave and free community college. speaking about

john isn't standards the same whether it's washington or south carolina or anywhere, u.s.a? >> it's supposed to be the same. the tooling you use to check is supposed to be all the same. so if there's different quality coming out of the different plants that should be a concern to management. and listening to cynthia a few minutes ago and also listening to one of the reporters earlier one of the things that comes out pretty loud and clear is, the employees' dissatisfaction with not being listened to which always leads to a disgruntled employee and public disclosures. so boeing's management has a responsibility to their employees to listen to their concerns and address them and that's clear from what's been said here that that hasn't happened. now how much of that is going to equate to an unsafe product at the end of the day from afar i don't think any of us can say one way or the other that it's going to definitely lead to an unsafe product. but the drug use in the facility is a concern. and if, you know, no matter where you are there are abuses of produce. you go into toulou

lisa stark is in a very snowy washington d.c. this morning. why did the countdown stop with just over a minute to go until launch? >> it was a disappointment for sure the problem wasn't weather in florida. it was a technical glitch. it was 1:21 before lift off when engineers said we are calling halt to this. it was a problem with a steering system for that second stage of the rocket. the stage that actually lifts the capsule into lower earth orbit into space. they knew that it would automatically shut down closer to lift off so they shut down to try to figure it out. this is the second time in two months that a technical problem has stopped the launch of this space capsule. they're going to have to hope the third time's the charm. >> walk us through this landing. space x is doing something different with this booster rocket trying to land it on a floating pad. why are they trying to do it in the ocean? >> well absolutely. here's the problem. with these lift off the rocket, basically the rocket engines are jettisoned and lost, not used again. i

get things done in washington. host: story online regarding the populist movement to read he bases it on conversations that took place in des moines, iowa. the question is, to the degree in which the rising populist movement on the left can shape the party's future and whether hillary is that person. you can see from this article, a photograph of elizabeth warren. guest: it is interesting on the democratic side, given what is happening on the democratic -- on the republican side. with the tea party being born in the way they have affected the direction of the party. i would argue, not in a good way when it comes to winning elections in governing. it seems like a good number of democrats look at that and say that is terrible for republicans, we should do the same thing on our side. we have to understand the math behind it. there is a populist wing of the democratic party, not the patient be silenced, but they are a certain percentage of the electorate and they are not big enough to win elections by themselves. the w
