she came up with an idea to combine two of her favorite dessert staples: ice cream and liqueur. >> as a kid, my parents made liqueur-infused ice cream with their friends, so they made something called "grasshoppers," which is similar to the cream de mint we made today, and it was a blended ice cream drink with cream de mint liqueur. and i think that's probably where i got the idea. >> so sheri left her desk job in the silicon valley to pursue her dessert dream, and thus silver moon ice cream

that's why it's probably an idea that this congress has no chance of making law.ut joining me now is one of the sponsors of the bill to repeal the debt ceiling altogether, democratic congressman from vermont and a member of the committee on house oversight and government reform, representative peter welch. sir, thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> good to be with you. >> john: right on. let me ask you just for starters, why does the debt ceiling exist in the first place. does it serve any function? >> it doesn't. essentially, the one function it does serve is members of congress can be hypocritical. they can vote for spending. and then pretend a year later when the bill comes due that they don't have to pay for it. and berate the excessive spending. it is really a tool for constant and unrelenting hypocrisy by congress. if we pass a budget, when we do that's what affects the debt ceiling. if you pass a budget and there's a trillion dollars that will be spent on iraq and you have no way to pay for it, the debt becomes due and you've got to pay that bill. so

right want to give me an idea to profit from this as a broker the way i would have played it and had done this myself many times is that you buy in s.p.x. futures contract option and you buy thousands of them for ten or twenty cents and then you don't give the account number. when the news comes out if the news is as you heard it should be from the insider sources you keep to trade yourself you make ten twenty million dollars if the news is incorrect then you give the account number for a pension account somewhere the teacher's union the fireman soon and you bury that pension account and you of course bribe the compliance officer and you bribe the sales manager and into case of paine webber you have to bribe actually the c.e.o. at some point to cover the tracks of all of this what's called look back trading so it's no lose trading it's insider information diner is a wealthy man because he's a fascist pig and he works for a fascist pig run out of a big giant house in washington full of fascist pigs so the next day august friday aug seventeenth two thousand and seven at eight am they a

then he goes on to start qualcomm, and they didn't really have an idea for products when it started. it was just seven people got together who knew the kind of theory, and they said, "okay, we're going to go on" -- >> rose: and believed it was the future. >> it was definitely the future. but what happened was computation became so cheap they could tuz for commercial and consumer applications. so that really was the start of the company. it wasn't that they thought of that specifically, but it turned out that way, and now we have these, you know, incredible cell phones that do an amazing amount of computation. >> rose: and where does his sort of stewardship end and yours begin? >> i took over as c.e.o. in 2005, and i took over as chairman in 2009. but the thing that happened between us was that i mostly focused on mcs of the technology. and heex toed on making the radio link better and better and better. so i was looking at the radio link as kind can have a pipe. and he was thinking i need to make that pipe bigger, fatter, more stuff through it. so in 2005, it was kind of the time fra

an on-line conversation platform. and the concept there is very simple. and the ideajust like if you want to sit down with people and have a good conversation an this table, you can't just say whoever wants to show up can show up, and you know, say two words and leave and it's just a free-for-all. but that is essentially what on-line conversation has been in the last decade. so and there is-- tlaes a beauty to that. the openness is great but it doesn't lead to quality conversation so what branch does is simply allow people to host dinner party like conversations and say everybody can watch, but we're limiting whose's actually i vitted. >> somebody begins by inviting people to discuss a topic on branch. so if that way it's almost modelled after what we're doing here. >> rose: indeed. >> another project we're working on which is medium is more of the, it's more like blogging, less like a discussionment but more like the discussion, the conversation is i may put out a thought or an idea. and its he-- the idea is anybody can contribute and the best ideas float to the top.

that they make to these families. >> cenk: martin bashir did lay into him and i don't think it's an insane idea am being in the role of the most conservative on the panel. >> it is an insane idea for a number of different reasons. you can't put all this pressure on a child because if he or she doesn't perform well in school, then the parents respect going to have anything to eat that month. i disagree with that 100%. but the worst part, these are the same individuals that are defunding public education. they're creating an atmosphere, an environment where it's even more difficult for students to succeed because teachers are overworked and underpaid. they're not getting the materials and textbooks that they need to succeed. it's a vicious cycle they're under funding it. >> cenk: i totally agree with your point accepted by the court. no objections. >> this is glossing over other problems. you have single mothers single fathers, people working all the time. it could be be a multitude of records but we'll layout this blanket argument that your parents aren't doing enough. i know he mentioned someth

less obviously innovative than a fundamental breakthrough but just as important. >> tom: give us an ideaf an industry you think is poised for some of that breakthrough innovation. be it either transformative or application. >> i think one of the areas we're most excited as as investors is watching software innovations that have been applied to large companies for decades now increasingly to consumers to all these new easy-to-use and access applications and that will spread to another set of constituents, namely small businesses. they have been left behind in many ways. they haven't been able to access this stuff, it's either too expensive or not tailored for them. you'll see a wave of companies applying ideas to help small businesses get more efficient andin access these new tools. >> tom: a positive reinforcement psychle with jeremy levine partner at bessemer venture partners. >> susie: for some final thoughts on american business and innovation, here's harry lin. he's executive-in-residence at idealab, a technology incubator in pasadena, california. >> it's fashionable in some business

senators schumer and mccain discuss why their principles could be an idea then a proposal and then auld be offered so soon a the last election. >> the politics on this issue have been turned upside down. for the first time ever there is more political risk in opposing immigration reform than opposing it. >> the republican party is losing the support of our hispanic citizens. weeswe realize that are there many issues that we are in agreement with our hispanic citizens but this is a pre-imminent issue with those citizens. >> but with conservative and tea party republicans likely to reject anything that resembles legal amnesty for undocumented immigrants like what president president ronald reagan did, that fair path of citizenship is contingent on completion of an entry-exit system at airports and sea ports for visitors on temporary visas and governors attorney general and community leaders living along the southwest border. however, those brought in as children would have an easier to this thing. while congress has yet to pass the dream act which would have led to permanent residency

in fact the first hearing we had was september 2010 so that gives an idea how long we have been working on it and in the san francisco civil rights ordinance. given this effort and for many reasons we were extremely disappointed we were not giving report by the chief and found about it a few days ago and had to scramble schedules. as you know we have been waiting to speak. we would have more public comment if we had notice. we are concerned about it. we want to outline the communications we had with the chief. we sent a letter to the chief what we thought should be included in the report back and three members of the coalition that couldn't be here tonight met with the chief and others and verbally assured to provide a report with the information requested in the letter and for your reference that mirrors the information required in the code. i can go into that if you like. in subsequent conversations with the chief and two letters soon after the meeting we noted the verbal assurance but in a letter today the chief asserted he never made a commitment to provide that information. we will

. >> give us an idea. if you get a view, it will be different -- >> shore. the value of a simple remodel verses a very fancy kitchen remodel in a house that might be worth more than a condominium. those things can matter. it can make a difference. >> we have a request from one of our viewers to make sure we talk about -- home-improvement results and building taxes. >> accessible. >> the other thing that might be brought out his people over- improved. there is a fine line. i recommend that my client or anyone talk to realtors before they start. it is a good idea to get an idea of that neighborhood, that house, and how it can be done. >> page 22 of the handout, spend an hour with the pro. talk about what the value means and how it will add value to your home, or if it will be over spending on something that maybe you can do without. >> exactly. >> it is very important to know why you are doing it. are you doing it to add value? will you live there for 20 years and you want a nicer kitchen? it cost $20,000, but only as $15,000 in value. it is different than if

the majority is selling something and a product and an idea. rhaps the idea that others should believe in you and your ideas. most people will choose to work with people they know and like even when more traditionally comp at the present time people are available. networking is a form of selling. they are working on trusting us and liking us and nudging us towards wanting to work with us. because selling is important, we can stand to get better at it. with us now is daniel pink who served as al gore's chief speech writer. to sell is human and the surprising truth about moving others. how are you? >> i'm very good. thanks for having me. >> you break down a little bit and always be closing and instead you say it's all about attunement, buoyancy and clarity. what does that mean? >> it's the new abcs. what it means is in the world of selling, whether you are pitching ideas or selling a buick, it's about attunement and understanding someone else's perspective and buoyancy and dealing with rejection which is inevitable when you are trying to move othe

it was just an idea that word. it's not a political idea to give people the freedom not to join a union. it's an american idea and it's an idea that works. we can look around the country today and again we make these things political and give them labels that are good or bad depending on which party you're in. but we know a number of states have been real innovative and creative with what they're doing in education. we see what they've done in florida, create more choices and louisiana, particularly, forced by hurricane katrina to start a new system in effect. they see more choices and opportunities for parents to choose their helping low income, avarice kids minority kids. we can see it working. and it's not political. it's an american idea to give parents more choices to that their children and an environment that they can succeed. it's an idea that works. we can look around the country that states they try to create a more business friendly environment, not because they are for businesses for any political reason

so that gives you an idea. pretty mild and the cloudsfor the overnight kept the heat from yesterday from escaping in the atmosphere. and call it the radiational cooling and that was certainly not the case last night. so, it stays at 40 through the 2:00 hour. we will gain a few degrees getting to around 43 for the afternoon high. sattelite composite and maryland's most powerful radar together. the showers are developing pushing off toward the east. that system we showed you out in kansas city, this is that system. but it's very benign and weak that will stay towards the south of the area. but the bigger story is the cold. while it's 40 in town nearing 50 in raleigh. look how chilly it is over the northern plains and international falls. 15 below zeroch that's the cold air in here starting tomorrow. so -- zero. that's the cold air that will be in here starting tomorrow. watch how the clouds sink towards the south. mostly sunny skies by wednesday but the sunny skies will be ineffective sunshine. down to 27 for ton

so you are starting a business or you have an idea. 's the first thing you need to do to decide, okay, this is a viable idea or not. >> the first thing you need to do is realize all your passion and energy has made you start on day one of faith-based enterprise. even though you think it's a rationale business, on day one, all you have is your passion. and your job is to turn that faith, that is your assumptions, about everything you think you would believe about customers and markets and pricing into facts and we kind of now say there are no facts inside your building or office, so get the heck outside. and the whole idea is, we believe you need to get outside your office and test some of your key assumptions about your business. >> yeah. i always talk about this. don't get tunnel vision. you and your husband or wife or your senior managers or co-founder, you have one idea. you don't know if that's going to really fly when you get out your doors. what problem you're solving. that's a great way to frame what you're doing. >> right. so mo

and to give you an idea of how you can profit from this you can buy out of the money option for ten cents and then when the news it's the wire that offers worth twenty or thirty bucks so you make make instant ten million dollars on an investment of twenty thousand dollars and writer knows this and he's peddling out inside information he justifies it in his own mind by suggesting that he's making a market or adding liquidity those are code words that he used to hypnotize himself to absolve himself from the heinous crime of undermining the american and global economy and committing acts of financial terrorist why this guy isn't in the straight jacket being beaten to death at this very moment i have no idea so this document has come out because the freedom of information request was five years the fed often prints publishes their stuff five years later so this is five years later now and lacker he was contacted by all sorts of media and he confirmed that yes this is what i heard and he said quote i was aware of this is questions among a few large banks about borrowing from their discount win
