and i would say you want to keep your eye on jonathan finer. i suspect you'll hear more about him in the years to come. jonathan and kevin will be introducing james robison and jay richards. will you please help me welcome jonathan finer and kevin miller. [ applause ] >> good morning. isn't this a fantastic event? it's just such a pleasure to see all of you. isn't it great? it's my pleasure to introduce you to james robison. he is working with jay richards. they're going to be a combined presentation. so jay will be speaking first. james robison is a good friend of mine. and i want to tell you why you should listen to james robison today. don't listen to james because he has spoken in over 600 venues around the country full to the brim, breaking attendance records that the rolling stones didn't, and appear with billy graham throughout the '70s and '80s, although he did that. don't listen to james because he has an international missions outreach that has literally saved the lives of thousands of young children, saved countless young women from

jonathan, what do you think? do you think it's simply an issue of corporate tax rates? , well, it's freedom, cheryl. what produces freedom, freedom or force? it's always freedom. in many cases canada's economy has been more free than ours, specifically in house, they didn't incentivize housing in much the same manner that the u.s. government did so of course they didn't have the boom and they didn't have the bust either. they did as wayne pointed out, lower corporate tax rates, they have a more open approach towards fossil fuels, toward immigration and all of these add up to a healthy, prosperous economy and we should follow their path. >> julian, even the canadian banks had a heck of a run when the u.s. banks did not. maybe they're doing something right up north. >> i thought jonathan was talking about the health care system as well. >> no, that sucks. (laughter) >> in a word, i guess, right? so, let me just push back on a couple much things, first of all, if you look at the median canadian assets, they were actually become more wealthier than the u.s. than the 2004 th

and jonathan, how does a parent understand when there is a problem? what should parents be on the lookout for? parents should be on the lookout for changes in behavior, and i think that's kind of the key sign post that we tell people to look for. a change in who your child is hanging out with, how they're doing in school, their involvement with activities. but i do want to emphasize also that there are many young people who are very high achievers who nonetheless get caught up in drugs as a way of dealing with the stress that they're under. i also want to highlight something that bridget said which is very important, the issue of trauma. because we've seen many young people who have experienced physical, emotional, sexual abuse and are significantly traumatized by that and that's a very frequent co-occurring factor. and i think a lot of kids are looking for a way to feel better, and so when they drink and the first experience that they have feels good and they don't feel as sad or they don't feel as depressed or not as worried about what happened yest

. >> jonathan, i'm assuming you want to respond? >> yeah, i feel like i'm getting rapped out of the principal's office. we say that not everyone should going to college, but that's the government policy for many, many years, we have a president now who calls college a right and pushed up the costs and down the quality. and the panel made great points. roughly 65% of jobs now outstanding don't require that much coveted college education and of course, whether it's irvin berlin or trace adkins or thomas edison or debby fields or jonathan hoenig, there's many examples of successful people who have not gone to college. government involvement has raised the cost, lowered the quality and that's what needs to change. >> well, government involvement-- >> an economic question, i want it take this. it's interesting if you look at the amount of debt. tracy brought this up. the amount of debt that americans are sitting on for higher education, a lot of that goes away if we see the shift. wouldn't that be good for the economy, julian? >> but joh

>> you know, i agree with what jonathan says in terms of the form changing some. we've done one enhanced e-book or app with an australian scientist named tim flannery. he did a book that's a natural history of the planet from the big bang until today, and it lent itself to, you know, sort of graphs and videos and putting a lot of the scientific stuff in. we have a new media company called arcade sunshine, and they produced a really brilliant piece. but what my experience of using it was television sort of like reading a book and -- it was sort of like reading a book and watching a documentary at the same time. so i think that somebody who's 23 probably is more fluent in multitasking or absorbing media in a different way. i think with the change, change in form will happen. i mean, if you look at network television or some of the fiction that's published now, 50 years ago those forms would have been seen as avant-garde and almost incomprehensible. but our attention span has shortened or speeded up or broadened, whatever you want to say, so i think that form will be

>> yes, jonathan. dallas-ft. worth, houston, topping the ranks of these, and the best backdrop to do business. a couple categories, ten in fact, cnbc ranked this on. texas in terms of where it won. it had the nation's best infrastructure according to the study. we had second place, for texas in terms of technology innovation. it was the third and lowest cost of living in having just come back from texas, i must say that the tex-mex was pretty cheap among other terms, shopping extremely cheap. the workforce improved to seventh best in the country from 14th last year. access to capital was down a little bit, but also worth noting, the economy was extremely strong with a aaa bond rating and a stable outlook of the runners up, of course, were utah and virginia. >> interesting. karen, thanks. >>> still ahead on "way too early," highlights from a baseball blowout in the all-star game last night. we'll have the highlights and break down by everyone was wearing mismatched uniforms. what was up with that? >>> plus -- the

>> oh, jonathan. what is it, july? we're going to hear -- please, we're going to hear this between now and election day and what it shows is the romney campaign is getting very desperate. the kind of editing job that into the attack ad was something we have not quite seen at this early a stage in a campaign. and again, it shows there's an element of desperation. they think they were able to latch on to something. my favorite thing though is apparently, he's comfortable talking about the middle class and poor people. he wasn't so worried about the poor a while ago and wasn't talking about the middle class. he was focused on the job creators. must have seen a poll that says talk about the middle class, so he's talking. >> julian, how much mileage is team romney getting out of distorting the president's words? were they able to change the subject on romney's tax returns? >> they're trying to and haven't been able to yet. when we go back to the discussions on the bain attacks, i think they clearly were. even though we're l

let's begin with jonathan tobin. your response to the government report by israel saying the sediments are legal? >> it is reaffirming a position israel has long held. obviously, it is not popular with the international community. unfortunately, i think it has inflated the popularity of the settlement. questions of illegality. under international law, and i think israel's position is quite sound, the right of the jews to live in the west bank was guaranteed in the league of nations mandate for palestine, which was the last sovereign in that area that was recognized by everybody. but i think the point is that recognizing their legal, i think should get as onto a point of, how do we get to peace? the focus on the "bil'in validate" has allowed the palestinians to sort of remain in the fantasy that the jews can be thrown out willy-nilly, not only to go back to the 1949 line, but it goes to the refusal to recognize the legitimacy of the jewish state no matter where the borders are drawn. >> ali abunimah, your response? >>

jonathan, thank you very much for joining me tonight. i have to tell you, i'll never forget seeing your video at cpac a few years ago, and i thought, wow, that kid is really bright, really smart, he's very poised in front of a microphone. but i just thought, it made me feel a little bit bad that a kid that young had his thinking all locked in on everything. and it turns out your thinking wasn't so locked in. >> yeah. i mean, i've really changed. i think that, for me, politics isn't really being about being a part of an ideology or being a part of a party. it's about just being yourself and what you think is right. i don't think i had all the answers then, i don't think i have all the answers now, i don't think anybody has all the answers at any point in their life. i just think it was really naive of me to think i knew everything then and not open my mind to the possibilities of other things being correct. >> well, i've got to tell you, every 14-year-old i've known seems to think that they think they know everything. and it is true that

correct, jonathan? absolutely. in fact, we have one of the most helpful activities that many of our young people do is that they get together and they go to young people's aa meetings and, you know, they will text each other or make plans to meet through facebook or twitter and go together and it's tremendously reinforcing. it really helps them. and within the mental health community i think there are some-that folks who may be co-existing conditions or co-occurring can either choose to go into the recovery for addiction or recovery for mental health. correct? or they can go to the groups called double trouble. is there really one that is called double trouble? yes. amazing. talk to me a little bit about that, i'm not too familiar. well you know, i think again as our knowledge has expanded and the stigma has decreased, you know, people are finding out that there are many factors which have contributed to their substance abuse. and certainly a whole range of effective disorders, of emotional disorders, whether it is

and jonathan, you've heard this message before from the president. but perhaps this one time it wasn't expressed in the best way. what do you think here? is this something that the obama campaign will need to worry about going forward? >> well, clearly they're concerned about it, at least, because the president addressed it in his event yesterday. so, you know, it's one of those things that was maybe inartfully said, but, you know, fundamentally, it was true. and i believe it's the obama campaign that has put out a commercial or at least i've seen the clips, of mitt romney saying virtually the exact same thing to, i believe it was to the salt lake city -- at the salt lake city olympics, saying the exact same thing to the olympians there and to the folk who is worked on the olympics. you did not get here on your own. you had coaches and you had this person and you had that person. so as the president said, this is politics and this is what happens, but when you start omitting complete, entire sentences to twist the meaning of what was said, you know,

again, i agree with jonathan. most likely not going to do that. >> look, new poll suggests 32% of conservatives feel enthusiastic about romney. if s that number going to cut it? >> well, you know what, i think that there are -- most people vote in these general elections. enthusiasm i think is overrated as an important factor. the ability to actually bring people to the polls, so-called get out the vote operation, that's tremendously important. but just -- enthusiasm that comes up in polling, look, 130 million americans voted in 2008. something close to that will vote this time. people don't vote in -- midterm elections very often. they come out in general elections. >> you think obama has the same problem on the flip side? people have been talking about the lack of enthusiasm among african-american voters. this time aroundver slaus time. do you think his own particular issue there will be with enthusiasm, that enthusiasm gotten -- show up? >> i don't think so. i think the enthusiasm is still there. i mean, vis-a-

. >> one of those inmates is jonathan hall. serving 40 years for murder. >> take that camera somewhere else. >> our crew first encountered hall while interviewing another inmate a few doors down. >> this is what i think of your story. >> i believe he threw -- well, he threw a liquid substance under the door. it smelled somewhat suspicious, so we're going to go report that. yeah, he threw pee under the door. >> did he? >> yeah. >> better double-check. >> okay. >> we soon learn that hall's anger had really begun the day before. >> he started off yesterday night, he drew a bunch of gang graffiti on the walls. staff attempted to go in there, restrain him, take pictures of the graffiti, he refused, became belligerent. this morning i went up there and talked to him. he decided he would cooperate. we did restrain him, bring him out. we did take photos. probably 30 minutes later, i'm guessing because other offenders probably gave him a hard time that he did back down and let us do our job, now he's covered his window, started throwing

louis writes up watching way too snazzy with jonathan green handkerchief, you can do better, jonathan. >> you're so wrong, my friend. you don't know fashion the way i know fashion. thanks, john. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> it was about the right to vote, because when you have the right to vote, you have the right to change things. we see a future where those rights are expanded, not diminished. where racial profiling is a thing of the past. where access to the ballot is expanded and unincumbered. did you think we'd be fighting these battles again? the house of representatives republicans voted affirmatively to prevent the justice department from even investigating whether or not there was voter suppression. folks, there's a lot more to say, but this is preaching to the choir. >> good morning. it is friday, the 13th. okay. just go back to bed. joe and i are here with us on this friday the 13th along with a very interesting cast of characters. who's better than joe biden, who's better? anyone? >> well, we're going to disagree on this one. i love joe, but seriously? you think vol

jonathan? >> chris, i think glen has it right. the biggest surprise to me was why in the heck romney folks did not try to take more advantage of his good news story about saving the salt lake games in '02? i thought that was the chief reason besides going to israel for day and getting a picture with b.b. he was going on this trip, to remind americans look, i'm not just some rich corporate tycoon. i helped save the olympics in america. there was no echo in london to marine mind us about that. it was baffling he did not seize that opportunity more and to me, that is perhaps the biggest missed opportunity of this trip. >> i think that -- in sports terms, you have a big ten schedule, 11, 12 games, right? you think you got the easy one. this was theies write one. he wasn't up for it. let's take a look at the interview carl cameron had with romney. romney took on the press and coverage of his trip. that's to be expected. >> i realize that the -- there will be some in the state who are far more interested in finding something to write ab

>>jonathan: yes, they can. and the people in britain are very concerned about this because they say, there is an old saying that an englishman's home is his castle and they are saying they are more a forward operating base for the british military. and, lawyers who represented the residents in this case say that this ruling essentially means the british military can now do whatever they want with someone's private home in the name of national security. listen. >> they do not need to ask you. they do not need to consult you. but can take over your home and put a missile on your roof. a tank on your lawn. or soldiers in your front living room. you heard that. >>shepard: the minister of defense said he will work to allay fears. that apartment building is close to where i used to live when i first moved to london and i would have felt safer among the population there with missiles on my roof. >>shepard: well, all right, that kind of place, is it, is that what you saying? >>jonathan: soldiers in the area is not nece

jonathan capehart, there's a surprise here that we have in a public policy polling robo survey. not the most reliable form in the world, but it says that condoleezza rice, as a running mate, could give mitt romney a six-point advantage in swing states of michigan and pennsylvania. that would put romney into a tie at 45-45 in pennsylvania, narrow the gap in michigan, very significantly. i think more attention needs to be paid to condoleezza rice, because we don't see that kind of polling effect from anyone else on the list. >> well, i mean, she would be an interesting choice. african-american, woman, highly accomplished, former secretary of state. the only problem is, she brings a lot of baggage. and that is the eight years of the bush administration, the two wars, particularly the war in iraq, of that i don't think mitt romney would want to have to deal with in addition to all of the other things he's going to have to deal with in terms of trying to unseat president obama. it's an interesting -- it's an interesting idea, but, you know, secretary rice has said many, many times, a

jonathan hunt has this. remind us what this operation was all about. >>jonathan: it was an antiterror operation designed to prevent any potential attacks against new york city. so, they set up the monitoring of muslim communities well outside of the city itself, even in different states. new jersey, for instance, is where in took place. it involved logging the names of muslim political organizers, keeping files on sermons delivered at mosques and tracking where muslims lived, shopped, ate lunch, all without telling the local cops in jersey who only find out when the building supervisor called 9-1-1. >> we have been going through the building, unit by unit, and we came across this one apartment and it has these curious items. it doesn't seem like it is inhabited. we set down and noticed about two welcome we would be doing this inspection and that notice is still hanging on the front door. >> okay. whoever is in the apartment, tell them get out. and i will speak to my supervisor, obviously. >>jonathan: ironically, of course, the mantra of the nypd, see s
