henry mayo newhall. since its inception the foundation has awarded grants to more than 14u7bd organizations in communities where mr. newhall originally established his businesses or where those enterprises are active today. since the fall of 2010 the department has actively cultivated support for the camp. in addition to this gift from the newhall foundation, the department has received a $50,000 grant over two years from the city's department of children youth and their families, 84 -- $8,430 from autism fund bay area, $1,500 from c.v.s. care mark, and of $5,315 from various donors. together these gifts totaling $80,245 have fully funded camp azure. on that note i would like to recognize a camp azure parent and a musician who did a benefit concert which raised considerable funds for the camp. i'd also like to introduce vicky, camp azure's manager, who has extensive expertise working with children on the autism spectrum and moved here from tennessee specifically to run the camp program. >> thank you. i don't know if your teleprompter will pick up on a southern accent or not, but we'll give it a try. i want to than

. >> >> sean: ed henry caught up with rhodes right after that confrontation. >> some say i'm mr.ver accuse him of that. his words do not match up with his actions. actions always speak louder than words. we were taught that growing up. the actions of the people he employs, the actions of people in his party have demonstrated they don't want to work. >> sean: joining me with the inside scoop iowa tea party chairman ryan rhodes. how are you? >> great sean, thanks for having me. i guess i better get an accent so dana perino will like me. >> sean: i watched. i was thinking you were being respectful. first, were you heckling during the president's speech or town hall in any way? you probably have seen those reports by now. >> the first thing i said, he had all of his speech, he had all of his questions. it got to the point where it was the last question. these events a lot of times get staged, questions don't question came and i said, hey, i'm going to ask this, because i'm getting sick of the entire taxpayer funded listening town hall tour was simply a way for him to attack republica

the public has been using cape henry beach for decades. so mr. go back in time and see what the law says about public beaches. >> the city does have public beaches but this beach is very unusual. shortly after the civil war, the state of virginia sold this beach to the private property owners to recover and pay for debt. so tommy and the predecessors in his chain of title have owned this property for 160 years so the city has it wrong. there are public beaches in virginia beach. that's when they took it from tommy. that's why he fought them. >> did you ever think you'd be in that situation and i take it that you're going to go to the bitter end to save your property? >> yes, i mean, it's just been my beach the whole time. and no one ever objected to it being my beach until they just come and decided they wanted to take it. and then offered us hardly anything and now that we've been awarded substantial amount of money, they don't want to pay that either. so it's kind of confusing. >> let me ask you this -- if the city did agree to pay what the jur
