7:36 am
states. >> what do you think it is. >> philly is becoming more noticed, some of the things we have tried to do over the past few years to raise it the is profile, make it more business friendly place, to make it more open to a wide variety of people, immigrant community is growing here in the city of philadelphia a. i spent a lot of time whether in new york, d.c. or other parts of the country through the u.s. conference of mayors talking about philadelphia, promoting philadelphia. some of the international business trips bring that kind of attention. it is something that has been building overtime. philadelphians are resilient. we have our ups and downs. we fight about different things. people are passionate here in the city of philadelphia inn a they are letting their friend know. that is making a difference. >> i like that we beat out new york. >> always a plus. and to mayor deblasio in new york and mike coleman in columbus. i know those cities well. they deserve credit. this was a highly competitive
7:37 am
process. it has been, for the last year plus, and they have put in great bid. quite frankly we knew the level of competition, it is like anything else you have to step your game up. i think they recognized we had a great bid. they deserve credit for what they were trying to do in their cities as well. >> the pope, you said we have a lot of work to do. now does the work double because it is back to back when it comes to major events. >> it is back to back. some of it will run on parallel tracks, some other components, you just layer on. world meeting of families already anticipated to bring about a million people here and with the pope's announcement probably closer to 2 million. a a a lot of that security, experience, it is wawa welcome america experience, made in america experience, again it is bike race, broad street run, all of those elements. having hosted a convention just in 2,000. so many things have changed in philadelphia since then. spectrum is not here anymore but xfinity live is. we had one sports stadium, now
7:38 am
we have two. the convention center, has doubled in size. we have thousands more hotel rooms now, then we had in 2,000 which credited to mayor at the time mayor rendell getting 2,000 more hotel rooms post that convention. the political community is so energized, organized, congressman brady, david cohen. great effort. >> when it comes to dnc that is bringing in dollars. 80 million. >> raise the money to a level. >> mike, please. >> if you want to contribute, that is fine. >> we have to raise money but as mike alluded to tremendous economic benefit in terms of jobs, activities. every hotel will be booked in the city of philadelphia restaurant will be book for a long period of time. retail sector will benefit from this. but the national, international exposure. i think people don't realize every news outlet in america will have someone here. many countries, foreign countries will have journalist
7:39 am
here. world does pay attention to america. >> 15,000 journalist alone will be here. >> yes, that is a lot of journalist. >> they have to eat, they have to travel. >> and they drink. >> sometimes. >> you were talking too about jobs and everything and yesterday was a big day because we became 17th city for paid sick leave. yesterday was a big day. >> we have a lot of things going on. councilman bill greenlee work on this effort, pushed this effort. he deserves a tremendous amount of credit as do all of the members of the city council. i was proud, enthusiastic to sign that piece of legislation. it took longer than any of us would like. on times big ones do take a little longer. the point is, it got done. i signed it. it is law. in 90 days it initial to effect. >> ninety days. >> good to see you good to see you, mike. >> jazz hand, okay. >> get a close-up. >> will we go to the right.

8:48 am
without any warning and he didn't have anytime to react. it was all of a sudden he was smashing in the back of her, and unfortunately that pushed her into on coming traffic. now theory is that he hit the lexus, shoved into on coming traffic and his momentum continued forward and he then also smashed in the back of that prius. they did ask him about if he hit prius and he said to be honest, i don't even know, it was all just happening so quickly. next thing i'm stopped and crash had already taken place and happened. if he was the cause of hitting both cars, he could be held responsible. not only that they think you were just following way too close to them. you should have had time to react. >> you would think this would be fairly easy to figure out just ask the prius driver who hit you. >> but you know when it is an accident sometimes when there is all this commotion you

8:51 am
why? i'll tell you why... 'cause every winter, my favorite thing to do is ski upstate. and in new york, you can ski more and drive less. with over 50 ski resorts throughout the state, great skiing is always nearby. and with some of the highest snowfall in the u.s., it's always a perfect day on the slopes. day or night, green circle or black diamond... for the experts, like me... there's something for everyone. so plan your next new york ski trip at iloveny.com/winter.
