  2. Latest From the Political Realm - POLITICO's Dave Levinthal

    Audio

    Tue, 15 May 2012

    Dave Leventhal is on the WB and live line money and politics editor for Politico dot com morning day. While the presidential race hardly anyone knows this today but as the Oregon primary 25 delegates at stake. Bringing Romney I guess that much closer to the number he needs to clinch right. Indeed and it can be a little bit easier now that Ron Paul finally appears to be. Dropping out of rates but not really he says he's not gonna compete. In the competitive states going or not that really any of them are competitive say because. Well I mean that was all locked up but. At least symbolically that's is that something that that is notable that today is effectively said that. On the is going to win the nomination and then he really only going to try to amass delegates and states that have already been decided that its its conventions strategy state by. I stayed trying to get people to you ought to be his delegates but he didn't go to the convention. The natural connection that has and the vehicle at pebble platform to talk about liberty and all the issues that is the house through the many many months that he's been running. They would need to ask you a question about the president endorsing same sex marriage last week a new CBS news New York Times poll. Says overall views on the legality of same sex marriage 51%. Of the folks polled say it should not be legal. Only 42% say it should now. The 51%. Of Americans are against same sex marriage okay and the president's position help them. Well at least politically speaking at it may not help there's been polls so that come out to some past couple of days but it's the Tibet. That may not really help walk or Kampman and make kind of be a wash in the end and that's bottom line people really aren't. And that concerned about this particular issue relative to other issues such as the economy. and nonmilitary actions overseas sale and it's part of the big game changer as far as this is something politically speaking. That is going to help or hurt the president can remain to be you know as to whether it actually is going to have. A demonstrable major effect come November either format Romney or Barack Obama's but. So then if people have views on same sex marriage and it doesn't it they don't agree with the the candidate that they are supporting it's it's probably not the driving force that gets them to their voting Booth. Perhaps not an for some people it didn't maybe it's just not that it's going to be an overwhelming majority area and strong number at least that is looking at the polls today. Is part is getting people and motivating them to vote for candidate. Spoke out against the candidate of course there's the issue of whether this is a federal issue. state issue or straight Alice states have the ability to go haven't decided who should be able to York. State that being. I'm cases that where this played out in very major actions not too long ago so even the president right now as saying. You know support gay marriage it's still a state issue I don't want that relies as although there are what it can't go out there who would love to make this a federally shouldn't feel bad. And that the president actually comes out and does make it a federal issue. That he don't want to passing national law that would legalize it urged them naturally this is not going to be an issue in the metro. Discussions are yet in the way that it could be even with the president coming out last week and saying what he gets. David this high risk trading scandal that's rocking JPMorgan Chase the president said the demonstrates the need for the Wall Street rules congress passed. The last couple years ago to reinforce Mitt Romney is calling for less stringent. Regulations and those contained in this new law whose stand on this issue. Has the potential to take the bigger told only comes for Americans to vote. Well that could be a big issue and it's been a form right now with the JPMorgan Chase scandal as it is. And that we actually reported that yesterday last night that that this is something that congress is taking a very keen interest stand there could be hearing with. In you market it doesn't really Hubble. And on this issue while we called around and talked all what you folks what my colleagues there were a great article about this. You know what we're saying well we really don't have a whole lot to help them out where it's including. People are on the Republican side were typically very very positive when it comes to what banks want to do our very pro growth and I JPMorgan is going to be an area a world of hurt here at at the access the presidential election. Again I think it remains to be seen at this point but that don't expect that they should go away any concept. Days thanks for joining us this morning we appreciate it. That's the money in politics editor for Politico dot com Dave Leventhal.

  4. President Obama Back Same Sex Marriage - POLITICO's Abby Phillip

    Thu, 10 May 2012

    President Obama's gay marriage move lots of reaction to it this morning Eddie fill up White House reporter for Politico dot com is with us on the WB in my planned morning how much of a political gamble is this for President Obama. Period for me like Colorado Florida North Carolina he is where. There are a lot of these voters and the margin Obama are gonna be pretty slow them. So I think well by and large it I I think it's hard to tell at the moment. it was gonna go for and on the one hand you've got young voters gave voters. The liberal voters very very excited about it on the other hand there's a lot of uncertainty among those independent of people who. We're kind of on the fence about and Andy and made it summer and it's a result of this. Fairly controversial. How big of a surprise was it for use silliness plugged in and in you know tends to have maybe some better idea than the rest of us what's going to happen with the president when he just kind of made this announcement drop like a bomb for most people. But yesterday I think a lot of people. Saw this telegraphed and and if you haven't lighthouse in the car for the president. You'd be used. Probably see the telegraph for quite some time. The terminology that evolving that Obama's gonna have all on that issue is a very clear signal that at some point they wanted to get it out. The question was always what are. And I think that it it became very clear that they can have to do you know lend our presidential pardon statement in support of same sex marriage over the weekend. It would. It up clear now that the campaign and I am an Obama staffer did not wanna make an Until much later in the year perhaps Italy as the Democratic National Convention. What are the pluses for him on this the stance when the minuses. I think it is you know I think you gay right advocates have been hammering him for a long time on the issue. And frankly get dumped from political damage I'm out on his own supporters among liberal. We felt like he. For and issued is a moral significance to that. And by making that he's getting back to a police eakins can he can make an argument to voters And he is a afraid eagle leader back and and that he's. Defining politics as usual I heard people who want to support him on the other hand there that the who believe the same sex marriage is it violation of their religious belief in the White House is very very hard to. Some people are saying that this is just another a long line of distraction from the real issue for most people the economy. It. Do you get that sense or is it was it more earnest and honest than that. And certainly different. The White House would prefer to talk about the economy if they don't wanna wait you look actually damaging political conversation. What are they don't know what the outcome it's going to eventually be. On the other hand. You know I think there a lot of people out there who want to have the conflict he didn't think that this is a civil rights connecting to the probably can't really that. the first as the first black president you very. And their. You. Who issued our moral conviction and I think that's in his announcement you made it clear that they took one of those issues for him personally. That after talking life in his daughters in the land but it became questionable whether the right thing to do was back intact marriage. I think the president in particular how to track it. Issues like that can't ignore it because it's part of land as a candidate that part of back when he who he was back when energy company that you got and how much of which weighed on matters like that. thanks for your time this morning. covers the White House for Politico dot com.

Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Let's go right to the WB -- live line and welcome doctor Andrew highland. He's with Roswell Park Cancer Institute we're gonna talk about tobacco marketing in much of it aimed at teens. It's very dangerous and they feel that needs to be removed from stores that are frequented by kids doctor highland good morning thank you for being with us hello good morning. And a doctor highland so many people so many agencies have tried this before and they did not do well what makes you think you're gonna succeed.

Well I think today. They're in the event it is with reality check group which is. Are there at the -- Arm of this state tobacco control program there's -- A lot of 130 teenagers from all across the state. Are here in buffalo talking about justice issue. They understand that. The tobacco companies have -- Focused their marketing it to in the retail environment. Primarily that's the spot where it is. And they recognize better than anyone that they are the prime targets. Of that advertising and they're coming together really just to say enough is enough and we need to reduce the advertising reduce the number of outlets. And it. Get to get those tobacco sales away from schools and out of pharmacies.

And we should mention -- all these skills from across New York State -- from around here are going to be in Niagara square after a 10:30 this morning now. Doctor -- why do kids smokers -- because of advertising and marketing or could it be because mom and dad smoked.

Well I think but yet to -- answers both of those but. That you know just a couple of years ago a National Cancer Institute put out. -- graft size -- and demonstrating clearly that this advertising and promotion and it is an area of primary reason why kids try to smoke initially and and they get hooked on Condit nicotine and then they sort of lose that free choice. To stop whatever they want some studies have shown that the advertising and promotion has a stronger effect -- even peer influences. -- it's such as their friends and their parents. So what it's not a you know it's not a cure but it is a major step they can be taken and it's easily within our reach to accomplish.

Because smoke because it's cool. I thought I think it's cool.

spoke person because they perceive it to cool. If you know anybody that's put I had the TV out -- the last week or two is seen some of recent public service announcements by the department of health. Sort of huge you know telling the truth so what. Can happen to lie to people when they spoke and that its depth perception of cool which is really put forth by the tobacco industry. With the bottom line of just trying to hook I'm new users so they can make profits now and for many years into the future.

Do you know of any of these ads that appear in any magazines that are of the kids are buying.

Certainly yeah you can go and take a look at magazines judges looking this morning like -- Glamour Magazine looking at some of the smokeless products that are. And glamour magazine's so you'd typically think focused products several more Ramel. It use type of product by -- Glamour Magazine it's sort of a women's fashion. Magazine so why. And I you know I know the companies will say that they've signed limited are eliminated their -- magazine act activity. By the -- examples to the contrary.

You know is graphic anti smoking commercials we've been hearing on the radio I'm seeing on TV. How long do you think it's going to take before they sink in and you can see positive results.

Well the you know here at the New York State smokers quit line is run here out of Roswell park and we saw the effect immediately. And tons of calls to the quit line a dramatic spike up. People all over the states. Serbian motivated by those ads maybe as you know emotionally -- that they are just say you know I don't wanna I don't wanna be like that person in the at an -- public service announcement and I'm gonna not take action to quit so. It starts at the you know right from that initial decision that day enough is enough. And I'm gonna do my best to try to break free of that that nicotine poll that has. I'm individual. And done so actions like this -- the advertising. Other sources inside activities all trying to educate people. To reinforce that we're talking about the number one preventable cause of death and disease and our communities and that we need to do something right away.

Doctor thank you for being with us this morning good like -- event later this morning thank you thank you doctor Andrew highland will Roswell Park Cancer Institute again. All of these -- from across New York's they would gather in Niagara square 10:30 this morning to drive home the point of tobacco marketing and -- teens. Needs to be removed from stores that are frequented by kids.
