everything in america. the other thing is that we had just gone through the concrete, where they built the fbi building and others like this, and nixon was wanting to take down all of the historic structures on pennsylvania avenue, and just make this all concrete. i said, if i took photographs, people could see this first. there was a governmental agency, the hudson avenue corp., which was set up after john f. kennedy wrote his inaugural address. at that time -- he said to people around him, we have to do something because this is the main street of america. i went to the pennsylvania avenue organization and said, if you can get me into these places i will do this for you, and i will photograph all of it. and i spent about 17 years photograph in the rebuilding. >> when you start showing some of your photos -- we can catch up with all of this. the first is in alabama. why were you in alabama. >> i had a relationship with the library of congress and they were kind enough to put this in their collection. last

they do not protect america but harm america. look at the tax policies. why do we reward american companies if there are offshore drops -- jobs? there is still more in the tax policies that rewards the of shoring of american jobs. what is wrong with protecting american jobs? we adopted the policies the chinese have adopted. we should adopt similar policies and get away with it here. use our tax dollars to buy american-made equipment. out of every gallon you by friday so, it goes out there to buy what? i had nothing to do with the bay bridge. it was a horrible mistake. save 10% -- thousands of jobs are in china and not in california, not in america. >> one of the things that the congressman is striving to do is if you take the 15 proposals that we have, within the g-20, you can find counterparts with and it. what they are saying is, we are not being protectionists, we are being reciprocal. 19 nations have multiples of what we have today and what little we have today is because of people -- like mandy. tom harkin was the architect of the phrase, fear not fr

and in time for the america's cup. and this is an aerial view of the pier 27 and you see a long pier shed, a 1,200 feet long shed. the apron is about an even 1/4 mile long and that is the site of the proposed cruise terminal to remove that long shed and build a terminal and associated public spaces around it. and what i just clicked on now is the line of the historic bulkhead buildings along that area, a very important factor in planning for this and that is how the public tends to view the historic district in the northern matter front and the presence of the buildings although the pierce and pier sheds are also included within the district. and with the pier shed removed and to the right with a 2 1/2 acre public space and at the end of the pier a big open space to use provisioning of the cruise terminal and that is what i will be talking about briefly here. in the cruise vehicle and how the different ships line up and the location of the doors and the short side power connections and where exactly the terminal should

build, we need to put america back to work by building america. the new deal did not pull us out of the great depression. world war ii did. the government, not the private sector, the government's conduct of the war and the government's role in steering the economy won world war ii and pulled us out of the great depression. government did that. government stimulated the public and the private economy. if we rationally invest a similar amount of money in our domestic economy as we did to win world war ii america out of this great recession just like we pulled america out of the great depression. grow. we need to grow the economy in a balanced fashion. too large tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 to the wealthy and big corporations, the so-called job creators, didn't create jobs in the private sector. indeed, only one million net new jobs were created between 2001 and 2009. all government jobs. the private sector reported minus 600,000 jobs. so much for giving tax breaks to the private job generators. some argue against all debt, but all debts aren't bad bec

this is what america needs. need a radicalization of the center of our country, people not ideologues but pragmatists and look at this nation where it is and understand we are in a crisis and there's serious work to do to make it better. ultimately, i believe in the dream of america and our highest ideals. we have to find a way forward that works for everyone. that's what compromise is all about. as the great poet hughes said in the 1960s so true right now, there's a dream in this land with its back against the wall. to save the dream for one, we must save it for all. if we are to be that nation of people coming together, our hallmark is our politics is not serving those ideals. our politics is broken because it's so hard for us a nation of people with so many common interests to come together and find pragmatic ways to move our country forward. it should not be this difficult. >> mayor booker, fascinating thoughts. thank you very much for joining me. >> thank you very much for having me, pierce. appreciate you

they do not protect america. in fact, they harm america. look out the tax policies. why do we reward american companies with a lower tax if they offer offshore jobs? not one republican voted to repeal that tax. it did pass. there is still more of that is in the tax policy that rewards the offshore and of american jobs. what is wrong with protecting american jobs? we ought to adopt the policies that the chinese have adopted. what is wrong with that? use our tax dollars to buy american made equipment. 18.5 since, every gallon of gas. out of every gallon you buy, it goes out there to buy what? yes, i had nothing to do with the bay bridge. it was a horrible mistake. to save 10%, they went off to buy chinese steel and thousands of jobs are in china and not in california. at the end of the day, it turned out to be more expensive. >> one of the things that the congressman is striving to -- if you take the 15 proposals that we have within the g-20, you confined counterparts in 19 of the deed 20. -- in the g-20. we're not being protectionist, we are being reciprocal. 19 natio

what do you want america to be like? when you have children in these chairs, what do you want it to be like? president obama has a vision of an economy that works for everybody. that is modern and sustainable and offered shared opportunities. a vision of government and society that involves shared responsibilities. not specific benefits nearly as much as everybody pitching in and doing what they're supposed to do to create the government we need to have for empowerment to take hold in america. and it has a vision of community that makes the most of america's greatest asset, our diversity. that's why he and i passionately believe in the dream act. [cheers and applause] i think we're better off with more immigrants, not fewer. so i don't understand all that. [applause] the main thing i want to say is why he believes in gay rights. that's why i was proud of my -- [cheers and applause] i was immensely proud of another of my former administration members, my former house secretary, now the governor of new york, professing the

gives a standing ovation for the obama of boehner masterpiece of political theater so we've seen in america the political kooky theater getting crazier and crazier but this is the important thing is that how gold responded and obviously always a deal is going to be done right we knew that but we have always told everybody that gold is responding to this collapse in american empire yes it is responding it's responding to the collapse and for that money it's a response to the collapse and the american empire exactly they had a great run after world war two but now it's run its course and now it's often a part and all the satellites that rely on the u.s. for their largest all those military contractors and client states and puppets states that got all that free money from a corrupt cop talk or see in america they're all being choked and then they want to throw money buying gold and silver the price keeps going higher and this will continue because no amount of growth will support this amount of debt it's impossible to mathematically impossible those five hundred trillion in debt out there in t
