>>> boston is a city of heroes this week. but none of them want to claim that title. taking credit, even where credit is due, isn't the boston way. as i said earlier, no single boston institution has been hit harder, as suffered a greater loss than neighborhood house charter school in dorchester. 8-year-old martin richard will never return to his third grade classroom. his mother, denise, the school librarian, is trying to recover from a serious head injury . his little sister lost her leg on monday. but everyone at her cool school is already thinking about how to welcome jane back. at the end of my conversation today, with the school's head master, kevin andrews , i told him that i thought jane richard was lucky that she would be coming back to a first grade, coming back to a school run by him.
>> i think jane is pretty lucky to be coming back to a school run by kevin andrews . that's what i think.
>> jane is pretty lucky to have her teachers. jane is lucky.
>> " boston globe " columnist kevin cullen, that's the answer, isn't it?
>> he's the best. kevin is the best. i'm so glad you went. and i thought you captured -- that's our town. and kevin andrew is the best of the best . and you know, you mentioned that that school was hit so hard, and we talked about the firefighters last night. and one of the firefighters who went in there and is actually saw poor martin dead was a firefighter whose daughter was in that third grade with martin. so, again, small big town.
>> i want you to listen to something that the mayor said this morning at the cathedral. let's listen to that.
>> i'm telling you, nothing can defeat the heart of the city . nothing. nothing will take us down, because we take care of one another. even with the smell of the smoke in the air, and blood on the streets, tears in our eyes, we triumphed over that hateful act on monday afternoon.
>> longest-running mayor in this town. has he had a finer moment?
>> he's the best. that's tommy menino of the hyde park meninos and got out of his wheel chair and got up and did that. god love him.
>> let's go to -- there is a very interesting moment today with president obama where he talked about his personal connection to boston . i think we have that on video. let's listen to that.
>> every fall, you welcome students from all across america and all across the globe, and every spring you graduate them back into the world. i know this, because there is a piece of boston in me. you welcomed me as a young law student across the river. welcomed michelle, too. you welcomed me -- you welcomed me during a convention when i was still a state senator, and very few people could pronounce my name right. like you, michelle and i have walked these streets. like you, we know these neighborhoods. and like you, in this moment of grief, we join you in saying, " boston , you're my home." for millions of us, what happened on monday is personal. it's personal.
>> i think he spoke for all the kids who have come to college here. big university town .
>> it is.
>> i went to college here, but all the kids i knew from out of town loved this place.
>> you know, when i watched the president say that, and combined with what happened at yankee stadium the other night, it made me think about the guys that put those bombs there wanted to tear us apart. and you listened to the president, and you saw what everybody did at yankee stadium the night when they sang " sweet caroline " for us. and they brought the -- the bombers did just the opposite. i like a guy from a chicago, and i can never write another bad word about a yankee fan. talk about screwing up the narrative.
>> you're out of material.
>> i'm done. so but it just shows what those guys -- whoever they are -- whether it's those two guys in the images we saw tonight, whoever they are, what they did failed miserably. they didn't tear us apart. they brought us together. as governor patrick put it so well. we don't turn on each other. we turn to each other. and they're doing it in chicago. and they're doing it in new york. they're doing it in philly. they're doing it in atlanta. they're doing it in detroit. i've heard from people all over this country. i'm hearing from people from britain. people in england, scotland, wales, ireland, romania. hey, guys, guess what? messed up. you didn't beat us. you made us stronger. congratulations.
>> you have been confident all along about this investigation. and we have been seeing your confidence paying off in the mounting revelations -- the accumulation of this evidence.
>> absolutely. i think we talked about it last night. this was the most photographed terrorist incident in the history of the world . and i mentioned our pal chris matthews , i was talking to chris, who you know loves tip o'neill and i did growing up. tip was my hero. tip said all politics is local. in this town, all law enforcement is local. so it's not just the fbi. state police . but everybody is on it.
>> we're going to wrap it there. kevin cull en of "the boston globe " thank you
