have said in the heat of the moment during one of these debates i want to raise the minimum wage so sue me when i do, i didn't think they were going to take it literally. >> demagogue. i remember

you. he says stuff like that it's so false, it's so phoney, it's so whiney and self-pitying. mostly it's so wrong. is he being sued for taking power away from congress and bringing it to the executive. >> the democrats argue on the other side of that is they are saying republicans are are whining root the right now because you extended executive power under the bush years and now instead

relativism, if the leader of the country is saying that you. can you agree that the president agrees? >> i think it's a reflection of the presidency of what comes out of the oval office, the white

>> well, i think we would all be wise to maybe send a memo off to the united nations that says if you have got issues with water, let's go work on countries where they live in sand. detroit last time i checked is on the greatest fresh water supply in the united states and speaking of american exceptionism, we sort of have a rich history of making sure that people in this country get food and water. >> well, the u.n. experts responded wednesday to these shutoffs and basically saying look, they should only be cut off when nonpayment is as a result of someone not being -- they though they can pay but they are not paying so these are being shut off and this is a human rights violation. >> so what happened is when the city began to move forward with turning off water for people to had not paid their bills for months. remarkable athings occurred. next day the people walked down to the water department with a bagful of money and paid their bills. when we work with struggling municipalities across the country the first thing we say to them is collect the money from the people who are using your services. we criticize detroit a lot. they are getting it right here. >> their water bills are so high there why in detroit 50% higher than in other major cities across the country. >> two reasons. one, a rich history of people not paying their bills. that makes everyone else have to pay more. the second is this culture that has existed for years where detroit spends money they don't need to. quick example, most people when they retire, get 12 pension checks, in detroit they used to get 13 because they would give them a bonus check at christmas. those costs get passed on to rate payers, that's why the water bill in detroit is 50% higher than the rest of america. detroit is finally actually trying to get people to pay their bills. >> i want to read a statement from john conyers. >> over the past decade detroiters have seen their water rates 119%. global financial crisis that left 1 in 5 residents in foreclosure and sent local unemployment rates skyrocketing. under cut detroiters' ability to pay agree or disagree. >> the strugglers you have got it look at the fact that detroit was an american embarrassment when it went bankrupt. we are trying to build that back easy to criticize detroit. the fact that detroit is saying pay for the services that you use. if you don't have the ability it to pay. there are prasms to take care of you. but if you simply refuse to pay, we're going to do something about that that's what detroit is doing. >> and then yesterday, front page story in the "new york times." people walking away from their homes in droves. aren't able to give these homes away. $500 a house at auction. really troubling times for detroit. >> nice to see you this morning. >> you as well. >> four star admiral with successful career in the navy. family says he was used scapegoat in the attack on pearl harbor. grandson fighting to restore his name. you will meet him next. you don't want to miss this photo. shia labeouf going on a rampage hours before he was cuffed by police. why was he chasing a homeless man, the details are next. is this all part of a movie stunt? i say yes. what do you say? hello and good morning. brand new pictures released showing actor shia labeouf odd behavior before he was arrested outside a new york city broadway show. tmz catching the star chasing a homeless man accused of taking his hat. the 28-year-old appeared whacked out and kept saying it's me shia. suv driver loses control and flips his tractor-trailer on the highway. the 45-year-old was not hurt but was cited for in inattentive driving. >> four star general, admiral husband kimmel was considered anything but a hero. he was accused of not taking extraordinary action to prevent the assault and he was demoted. his family says the government made kimmel a escape got. further investigations pointed to washington officials for failing to give crucial intelligence information to the military. then, in 2000, then senator joe biden sponsored an act that exonerated admiral kimmel, why hasn't anything been done to restore his rank? where is the president to set history straight? we asked tom kimmel he is the grandson. thank you for joining us this morning. >> you are welcome, tucker. thanks for the opportunity. >> your grandfather was held to be solely blameable for pearl harbor. was that more blameable than the president, fdr, more than anybody else solely blameable. was that considered a plausible charge at the time? >> tucker, the way this thing took shape, nine days after the pearl harbor attack. the president of the united states selected a sitting supreme court associate diswrowive investigate the matter. 10 days after the attack miller kimmel and general short. the head of the army hawaiian command were fired and replaced. 11 days after the pearl harbor attack, justice roberts began his deliberations. they investigated for a grand total of 36 days. 47 days after the pearl harbor attack. justice roberts declared, declared that admiral kimmel and general short were solely blameable for the success of the japanese attack and, this is what sticks in the crawl, derelict in their duty. and that was the end of the story. >> that's obviously completely silly. they didn't know more about it than the president himself did. they obviously were escape imots. it's pretty clear in history. lots of people have looked into this. as you know at your urging and reached the same conclusion. why won't the president take the steps necessary to clear the record? >> well, because that would require the navy department and the department of defense to admit their own mistakes. and they are just not inclined to do that. they rely on abstractions. kimmel was the boss no matter what happens he is responsible. of course the reason i'm here today is because -- not because of the kimmel's mission, it's because the pearl harbor survivors in 198 slitted my -- solicited my dad and uncle both deceased now to assist the pearl harbor's survivors in their mission to rehabilitate the reputation of their commanders kimmel and short. my dad and my can you uncle werm mid by the president of the pearl harbor survi
