cup and the america's cup tourism.the america's cup first came to me in my office in 2010, it was probably september 2010, we were asked if we would just sign on to an early, early notice that we were approving the project. i could not do that at the time. i felt i was actually signing onto a blank page and i needed to have more information, more detail. i think the idea of the america's cup and bringing events like this to san francisco is god and worthy, but we have to make sure we are doing our due diligence, that we are minimizing what the overall impact would be on our environment, on our bottom line, and what it means for the city to be putting this on. ~ good we have to answer a lot of questions. and i think the public process we've had about putting on the event here in this committee, on other committees of the board of supervisors, and other agencies around the bay that permit a lot of the efforts of the project need to be covered and need to be addressed. and that's where -- the public process is important t

we have our insurance for america's cup authority and three of the america's cup teams. i wanted to speak to you this morning about the ~ financial and employment impact with the america's cup event authority has had on us so far and going forward. so,v we have three people that are all local employees live in san francisco that work correctly on america's cup business every day. and the business that we have, we place with insurance companies in san francisco, four different companies. and i know that they have staffed up to take this business, too. i have other clients on the waterfront that benefit greatly from the america cup and what aca, they purchased another yvesal -- vessel they're bringing around for tourists. i know all of their employees will be local hired and both the crew of the vessel and the service people will all be local hire. ~ finally knowing a lot about the america's cup and seeing what has happened in previous america's cup, in perth australia, auckland, new zealand, spain, i see how this has extractionv expired this city to greater [speaker not u

america in retreatment america in decline. big blow to america. it's stunned. 20-30 years later, america is still there in one way or another and the conversation is back to, is america in decline, does -- it ebbs and flows, depending on what else is going on. i think no one can dispute the fact that no -- america is no long their superpower. it has allies who want more of a say. friends like turkey who are rising and want to have a bigger say on the table. and what i found interesting was, clinton's approach to that, and somebody said it's the president's vision as well, of course. don't try to suppress that but work with it. how can you town this to your -- turn this to your advantage? how can you work with turkey to bring them onboard and work with a common goal? it sounds great and easy. it's not that easy. but i think that clinton, her advisors, i mentioned jake sullivan, who was a deputy chief of staff and has just been apainted to work as national security adviser for the vice president, and then people around the president as well, they sa

if you listen to the stoifer america, it is a story of what? theft. how did we get america?e stole it from the indians. slavery is seen as robbing the free labor of african americans. so the whole story of america is the story of oppression. this is the liberal argument, it is broad scaled and it needs to be answered. in our film, we intend to answer it. this is not just about the makers and the takers. we hear a lot of talk about the productive people, people show are parasitic on society. obama's liberal has resident, it wins voters. why, it has a moral thrust. i want to give an example of the guy who parks cars for this beautiful resort. i parked my car a couple of days ago. i was informed it is $30 a day. i'm thinking of it from the guy who is parking cars. he is thinking, i parked 100 cars yesterday. this resort parked $3,000 off of me. how much do they pay me? $104. where did the other $2,900 go. it probably went to a rich fat cat who is probably in hawaii with his girlfriend. from the point of view of the guy who parks cars, he is not a taker, he is not a parasite and

american decline, big boat to america and a big blow to american credibility. america is over. it is done. 20 or 30 years later america still there in one way or another in the conversation is back to does america have influence in the middle east? i think absent flows depending on what else is going on but i think no one can dispute the fact that america is no longer a superpower. it has rifles. it has allies who want more of the same it has friends like turkey who are arising and want to have a bigger stage on the table. what i found interesting was clinton's approach to that and to some extent the president's vision as well. don't try to suppress that they work with it. how can you turn it to your advantage? how can you work with turkey to bring them on board and work toward a common goal? it sounds great and easy, but i think that clinton, her adviser 's and i mentioned jake sullivan who was the chief of staff working on national security for the president people around the president as well. a collaborative approach to power and more realistic long-term strategies for main

in america. is this not an acknowledgment of the church that that is where the church is growing? >> well, i would disagree with you. because i don't think the church is growing in latin america. it's growing in africa. but in latin america, we're actually losing people to the evangelicals. in fact, in the last generation, we've lost more people to the evangelicals than were lost to pr protestants during the reformation. so the church in latin america is in trouble. hopefully one of the reasons they picked a cardinal from latin america is that he knows it's in trouble and that it needs to be turned around and he has some ideas to make it turn around. >> now, he is known as something of a traditionallist. and you will know that he's actually clashed with the president of argentina on issues like gay marriage and, indeed, even down to things like the free distribution of contraception. does that suggest that this is a man who is committed to the traditional teachings of the church as opposed to, pe
