joining us now, former new york governor and former new york attorney general, eliot spitzer. good to see here. thank you. >> thank you for inviting me. >> i want to talk to you about the broader connection between different types of corruption here. this big potential election rigging scandal that unfolded today is the silver lining here is that it was nice and bipartisan at least? >> it was so incredibly stupid. malcolm smith has put himself into that rare category of corruption, stupid, venal. not terribly surprised. it's a sad, sad day at every level. >> u.s. attorney saying it shouldn't feel like ground hog day. i feel like there's a nexus of petty corruption that's almost expected among public officials in both parties. that's why listening to you introduce this segment about the petty and obviously corrupt case, one that needs to be brought. yet, you were saying that deep corruption, mary shapiro going from the sec to the regulative company, oh, you don't need to worry, she misses the point. the entire time she was in government, she was being windowed by these companie

we heard that from the mayor of new york. we heard it from the police chief in new york. lindsay graham is joining us now the republican senator from south carolina. senator, thanks very much for joining us. how serious do you believe this alleged times square bombing followup if you will really is? >> i just feel they're trying to go out in a blaze of glory. i think it was deadly serious. the only reason they didn't make it is because of good police work and the people of boston stopped them. >> you caused quite a stir today when you suggested the obama administration must have a great deal of the blame for what happened at the end of the boston marathon because they didn't do the right thing whether it was the fbi or the cia in following up with those russian leads. i want you to explain to our viewers what you were -- what you were driving at. >> absolutely. well, the blame goes to the two terrorists. they're the ones that bear the responsibility but, you know, when we got bin laden that was a great operation, gutsy call by the president. a lot of praise. here is my co

had intended to go to new york after leaving boston on late thursday night, head toward new york, and try to detonate whatever remaining explosive devices they had in times square. again, this is information according to the commissioner and the mayor that comes from fbi and other interrogators based on the second interview with the suspect dzhokhar tsarnaev. as you know, as commissioner kelly mentioned yesterday based on a first interview with the suspect, the suspect had said that they intended to come to new york to party, as commissioner revealed in a press conference yesterday. as for the discrepancy between the first interview and information coming out of the second interview, commissioner kelly believes he was more lucid during the second interview. importantly, though, and i think it bears repeating, commissioner kelly stressing this seemed to be a spur of the moment decision, or at least interrogators believe this is more of a spur of the moment decision, not a preplanned trip to new york, and also the mayor and commissioner stressing there's no known information about any d

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

it's possible that both stories are true. >> new york officials do acknowledge that the whole new york story is -- was sort of an impromptu thing, not something they believe was preplanned. >> right. the fact that he's becoming more lucid, willing to tell things, may have something to do with he's sort of realizing i have between choosing the death penalty or possibly a life sentence. so this may be the consequence of these interrogations, and this is going to happen for weeks to come. we've seen this in crises before, that the story evolves, you can't say that person was lying or that was false. it's literally the information comes out more clearly over time. >> i want to go to nick payton-walsh in dagestan. we are also learning new details about the mother. apparently she was also placed on the cia watch list. what do you know about this? >> reporter: well, you can imagine the context in which it may have happened. it's clear that she and tamerlan tsarnaev, her son, chose a path toward a more devout strand of the muslim faith, round about the same time. she told me, in fact, she was

fast food workers in new york city took to the streets today demanding better working conditions and better wages we'll have the latest on the ground from this is. also it's been forty five years since martin luther king jr gave his last speech to the american people but to this day questions still remain surrounding his death who is really behind the assassination of one of america's greatest heroes and america's poised to sign on to yet another so-called free trade deal why is president obama considering a plan that will help corporations prosper even more while the rest of us are left to suffer. so today on the forty fifth anniversary of martin luther king jr's debt fast food workers in new york city are going on strike and there couldn't be a more fitting way to honor the great civil rights leader on april third one nine hundred sixty eight the day before his assassination king gave his final and some would argue most powerful speech at the mason temple in memphis tennessee condemning racial injustice corporate power and wealth inequality he reminded the audience that the struggl

new york is the most densely populated city in the u.s. and over 40 million tourists visit the city every year. the 1.3 billion gallons of water required every day are delivered by a system of extraordinary scale and complex engineering. man: water is essential to the economic viability of new york city. reliable infrastructure and reliable delivery of water is a must. you have to reinvest in the infrastructure every single minute to keep it current. hurwitz: we have the stock exchange, we have the united nations -- failure can have a dramatic impact on the nation, and even internationally. so there's a really keen awareness that you always have to be fixing the system. things corrode, they rust. they get to where you turn them on and nothing happens. but it is so totally used in every nook and cranny, that making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. narrator: two massive underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the city's water supply. they run hundreds of feet below

so, i would kind of defer to that at the moment, but new york city is new york city, and there are just an abundance of soft targets that could be easily used to attack people quite easily. you've got the major train terminals, new york central terminal, penn station, you've got the ferries, you've got the massive subway system and subways and trains were used in 2004 in madrid, 2005 in london. so that certainly would not be a first for any terrorist that reads about it on the internet that a target of mass transportation will have a lot of people and be a relatively soft target. >> you know, tom, it is interesting for two suspects who are accused of planning this, plotting this attack on the marathon day, they did not seem to have much of an end game. i mean, we now know that dzhokhar tsarnaev attended classes, hung out on campus, even, you know, went to a party in the days after the bombing. was seen on campus kind of living his life. tamerlan was seen by his wife, apparently, on the thursday, the last day, thursday after the bombing. but they had to get money from atms late thursday
