scroll through lists on a phone because you produce it for the phone? we don t necessarily produce things just to be looked at on mobile. that s something that we keep in mind when we are producing what we do. i m surprised by how much tv is watched on mobile phones. it s not the most comfortable experience. if this is the only screen you have, it s good enough. more than that, when you talk about whether it s a phone or tablet, when it s in front of your face, it s not that different from a viewing perspective than if you have something 10 or 15 feet away. convenience is the big thing. you take the locational aspect of having to be at home away from it and i can be on the train catching up on cnn. these are trends we talk about every week. it s worth reflecting on how fast things have changed. data is more assessable on the phone now. faster than ever. getting better and better. with the phone comes social tv. the idea of chatting along with shows like this one. we saw twitter
joe biden of early days in the senate, as a presidential candidate in 1988 would be stunned and maybe is stunned if he saw what it s like today. in 88, i didn t cover him them, but he was widely accessible to him. amongst the most accessible and fun to cover candidates i ve cover. he s come a long way. on the other hand, he s less cloistered than anybody else running in big time politics today and the notion his staff can control him very much is pretty farfetched. he s much more assessable. open, available to the press. on the other hand, again, he s far less assessable. i approached him on a rope line in las vegas. he answered one quick question, but nothing like it would have been semi. let s watch what you were able to get on camera.
two days. i feel so guilty because i did not do that. he did not care. john fugelsang, nothing from you hereto, not even a phone call. mark lamont hill, professor at columbia university. i really did send flowers. you sent nothing, you lie. this is what i got from my colleagues, nothing. he came in thinking you d be here. oh, blah, blah, blah. i m not going to talk to you for the entire morning. kidding. let s get right to our starting point this morning. we have a major development to talk about that could complicate george zimmerman s case and could get his attorney into trouble. mark o mara will let the judge know while he was originally pleading poverty in order to get george zimmerman out on bail and a relatively low bail it turns out his client has raised more than $200,000, that is exactly how much he s raised, $204,000 is exactly what he s raised in donations from a now defunct website he helped set up to pay his legal expenses, a major revelation beca
cane is back, he has a column for theblaze.com. an all-boy panel this morning. you re used to that. you know what? i am getting kind of used to it a little bit. our starting point this morning is day two of john edwards criminal trial. it s going to get under way in about 2 1/2 hours. and back on the stand, his former aide, andrew young. he is the key witness for the prosecution. the issue is did john edwards inappropriately use campaign funds to hide his mistress, rielle hunter? the prosecution called edwards a master manipulator, saying this. if the affair went public, it would have destroyed any chance to become the president, and he knew it and he made a choice to break the law. we re joined by melanie sloan, executive director for citizens of responsibility and ethics in washington. nice to see you, melanie. thanks for talking with us. nice to be here. walk me through what happened. andrew young will be back on the stand as i mentioned again today. yesterday was
our deficits down by more than half over the next several years. final question, the president talked about the fact that like a lot of americans saving for their kids education, his 529 or college savings plan for his daughters has gone down in value. a lot of people think about it. it s come up dramatically. okay. but this is serious point. a lot of people think about this and about investing in the market for the future as you passed a financial regulation. what is a fair expectation for americans to have out of the capital markets if they see that as a place for savings when we heard you ll get 10% to 15% returns over long-term. is that what americans can expect? i think what they can expect from these reforms is much more assessable, much more simple, much clearer disclosure about the terms in which they can borrow to finance education for their children, borrow to finance a home and a car and credit card much more clear
