that is basically the america's cup village. moving south, in the bottom right hand corner, south of the bay bridge, the other major infrastructure location at piers 30 and 32. this is just to orient ourselves. a mix of more permanent infrastructure and improvements along the waterfront, as well as temporary installations and even activities on the park lands. -- event activities on the park lands. this is piers 30/32. this will be the team-based areas. this is where the vessels would be worked on. this would also be a location with limited public access, including the brennan street wharf. this is obviously going to be a key place for event the party infrastructure to make it safe for the uses that are there. right now, it is not approved for this level of activity. with approval, it would then make this more habitable and would allow themselves to put their installations on top. as i mentioned earlier, i want to step back and take a look at the broad economic strategy. we mentioned the billion dollar number, the jobs number, o

america bank of america once again rumored to be bankrupt needed emergency cash infusion from warren buffett still being talked about in terms of being bankrupt but the seed of all this angelo mozilo poster child for mortgage fraud were received today sparingly kicking back with with some fruity drinks on an island somewhere i mean you know he got out with the wrist slap in the civil suit by the shareholders and there was there was nothing criminal essentially. you know this is this is a larger problem x. with with the way the government operates in a way the financial regulatory regime operates is there they're generally happy to go in. regard lists of how steep the wrongdoing or how clear it is going and settle for a tiny fine which which sadly becomes just the cost of doing business for these companies and doesn't really change the modus operandi so that it certainly applied to countrywide in spades well it was always there and now you know we see that bank of america has inherited that mess something we warned against when it was going on in two thousand and eight that the potent

of america is not large enough to. absorb all these toxic assets now let's talk a little bit about who's getting the short end of the stick here but your group and your work it's really you're fighting on behalf of a constituency which are people in america that are getting screwed in the housing market and. right now twenty five percent of the mortgage holders are still underwater so. and all the fraud abuse goes by i'm sacked on prosecuted if not lie lies by the administration it is unity to mortgage fraud with wholesale legislation to completely exonerate hard core financial securities fraud in america now what about the housing market going forward because after all this is what we're talking about that's what's at stake is this for a cause or not american to continue to disenfranchise and impoverished america going forward it doesn't look good centrally the policies the government has implemented in reaction to a crisis is going to drag things out as long as possible and a number of the so-called foreclosure rescu

for america. for me this was really a journey of many surprises and gave me a completely new perspective on the founding fathers. george washington who i had known as revolutionary hero and first president. what i did not know was he was more likely to talk about trees rather than politics. thomas jefferson, once i had seen monticello i realized what a revolutionary gardener he was. and then there was james madison, father of the constitution, brilliant legal mind. what i did not know was he was the forgotten father of american environmentalism because he tried to rally americans to protect nature and the forest. and then there was john adams, american minister in paris and london, second president of the united states. what i did not know was that he was also a passionate gardener, but that he also went on a garden tour in england with thomas jefferson. then another little sleight of george washington on his plantation. all four of them really regarded themselves foremost as gardeners and farmers

america is different. it is, you want to give your children the right attitude, the positive attitude. the go and get it attitude of being, you know, not a loser but a winner, an achiever. and all that. that's why i summed it up, the first word for a british child, please. first word for an american child, i'm the greatest. like mohammed ali. >> is that a good idea? >> i think to be honest that something in between would probably be a good idea. yes, give your children the right attitude to give you confidence. basically. but also, explain to them that they may lose in life. it's very important. i take my child to football matches. by the way, italy won with ecuador today. it was a beautiful day. >> because i want him to understand that you can lose. your team can be very good but you can lose. losing the idea of being, of understanding. and i think sometimes there's a little problem there. an andam which -- example to explain what i mean. >> i heard of a test for attitude, for people as yuck as 2 1/2, thr

next speaker. >> america's cup hold a lot of promise. $1 billion worth of economic activity.ver it -- over 8 billion jobs it could generate. the biggest thing this guarantees potentially is the idea of a diverse community leadership partnership, which we have seen through public comment and could create three specific things. the first of which is in construction work, the excess -- success of local residents, and guaranteed union wages and benefits for the work that is being done, whether it is building seawalls to building up the peers, to make sure the temporary facilities, and third and finally making sure there are no car about, whether it is on publicly funded or privately- funded projects. making sure there are union jobs for each and every aspect of the project. we she -- should see a lot of economic opportunity for san franciscans. i am looking forward to future discussions. supervisor avalos: think you very much. next speaker. -- thank you very much. >> i represent babies hunt. i am working with a number of cb'o's better dedicated to placing people in jobs. i want t

this is the america's cup village. to your right you will see a structure that is the new cruise ship terminal. this is the project we will talk about in a moment with more detail. this is the public infrastructure going in. the remainder of their installations will be put in by the event authority. supervisor avalos: one of the things i forgot to mention and wanted to mention was that we talk about local jobs and want to really emphasize the prevailing wage jobs, living wage jobs, and union jobs to the maximum extent possible. i want to make sure you understand what we want to be able to have as we go through the work force development. >> that makes sense. and it is helpful to get the feedback at this juncture so we can carry that forward into the plan. we appreciate that. if we could go to the next slide, please. and this shows a bit of a spectrum of what are assigned to describe earlier, the left of the right to the black bar. select bart is the way we have to influence how that opportunities that are coming. obvio

the america's cup is 160 years old. comes a great responsibility on our shoulders to help reinvent the america's cup brand for the future and help bring it back to its glory days when everyone pretty much knew what the america's cup was, when dennis conner was busy losing it for the first time in its 150-year history. to help us achieve that, san francisco is the perfect choice. part of our mission and strategy to make it popular and bring it back to the masses is to allow the masses to have access to it. a lot of what you will hear me talking about will really be about public access and how for the first time in the history of the cup, the event will be able to be seen by live spectators, as opposed to taking place many miles offshore. another point of context -- this is not just a san francisco event or a california event. the america's cup represents the third largest economic impact of any sporting event in the world. one would be the fifa world cup. two would be the olympics. three is the america's cup here the las

america's jobs., creating smarter and simpler regulations, a more straight-forward tax code. and some from the left, investment, education, infrastructure. everyone from congress to the administration should have one focus. job creation. >> i just think we're in a particularly, you know, tough time right now because we're coming out of the crisis where people are still angry. and that's understandable. i kind of get that. but ultimately there's a sense of teamwork that's very much a part of the american culture. there's a sense of partnership that i think is -- will ultimately play out. >> let's hope jeff immelt is right. the future of the country depends on it. you can catch us next sunday in our normal time slot, 10:00 a.m. eastern and pacific. thank you for tuning in. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> tonight, what really happened to michael jackson? >> this is a story about greed

[cheers and applause] >> america owes you and the entire labor movement so much. you not only give us the world's greatest cars, you stood up, but you also sat down, for good jobs for everyone, and you built the social safety net we're fighting so hard to keep intact right now. you set a lifetime of hard work ought to mean something, that working people deserve the opportunity to provide for themselves and for their families. today on labor day, our struggles continue. we know these are tough times, hard economic times for so many of our families, but that's no excuse for what's happening in other states across this country. like wisconsin and ohio. and right here in michigan. some politicians say they can't afford unions right now, that labor unions are the problem in this country.

muslims the most fifty two percent of fox viewers believe muslims want to establish sure real lot america compared to just twenty percent to watch c.n.n. and twenty nine percent are watching us and we see also sixty percent of fox viewers believe islam is not an important part of the american where the religious community or muslims are about would probably be more accurate way to say that again far more than c.n.n. and it was that we see a whopping sixty eight percent of fox viewers think the values of islam are at odds with the values of america far more than the thirty seven percent of c.n.n. viewers and thirty nine percent of innocently see viewers of course considering that you know what comes across the fox so-called news airwaves on a daily basis this report shouldn't come as too big of a surprise. not all. muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are muslim if you are an eighteen to twenty year old muslim man you should be strip searched and if we don't do that there's a very high probability we're going to lose with marilyn building that victory mosque on what's in essence a bur

it's not the story of america but it is the story of reagan's america is the story of raw deal america a deal with the president told us all he's now committed to fighting against this jobs speech wasn't just about jobs it could very well be a turning point in our modern history and while it will take a while to correct this massive ship of state that's lost its way this could be the beginning the first turn of the wheel away from reagan's raw deal and back toward the new deal and a rebirth of the middle class of america and spending numbers may not have been as high and the tone not as combative as most regresses may have liked myself included but it's a radical shift in posture well reagan bush bush and even clinton all said things like the era of big government is over obama came right out and said that we're a nation of foreign builders not just lone wolf daniel boone zz and if more and more people get the president's message about the dangers of reagan's raw deal and if the president's message gains traction then he'll be able to go bolder and fight harder the next time and then e

with america. but they also believed in george iii who was the king, who represented all of the interests within the empire supposedly. and so the agenda for the conservatives was to have congress appeal to the king. what became known as the olive branch petition to appeal to the king to intervene and open negotiations with america, and those negotiations the conservatives felt would resolve matters finally. and it might not be immediately. the war might have the go on for a year or two, but they were confident that these would, that these strategies would bring about what they desire. and finally, i think, people became conservatives for one other reason, and that is that they feared social and political radicalism. they feared that if independence occurred, there would be a social and a political revolution in america. and that was why i chose to call them conservatives. they did not want a social or a political revolution. and their fears were not misplaceed because as we know, the american revo

that is how america can be number one again, and that is how america will be number one again. i realize some of you have a different theory on how to grow the economy. some of you believe that the only solution to our economic challenges is to simply cut most government spending and eliminate most government regulations. i agree we cannot afford wasteful spending and i will work with you, with congress, to root it out, and i agree there are rules and regulations that put an unnecessary burden on businesses at a time when they can least support -- afford it. that is why i ordered a review of all government regulations. so far we have identified over 500 reforms which will save billions of dollars over the next few years. we should have no more regulations than the health, safety, and security of the american people require. thattrule should need common-sense requirement. i will not let the economic crisis be used to wipe out the basics protections that americans have counted on for decades. i reject the idea we need to ask people to choose between their jobs and their safety. i

we cannot go forward in america with public employee unions bankrupting every city and state in america. you heard the evidence, ladies and gentlemen, about what is happening in california. i would make the case to you that the fiscal problems in california are the canary in the coal mine. unless we do something about these enormous benefits that are paid to public employee unions in america, we are going to see the kind of california fiscal crisis hit maine, hit new hampshire, hit florida, hit texas, hit nevada. every state and city in america is not going to be able to pay their bills, and the very important public services we rely on are going to be put in jeopardy or else the alternative to that, and i think this is the alternative to public sector unions, is to double and in some cases triple the taxes on american workers to pay for these benefits. ladies and gentlemen, the sham has got to come to an end, and i urge you to come back with a guilty verdict. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, mr. moore. professor hsu maker? >> gold-plaited benefits, the new haves, we hear a

america is easing up. i cite the most obvious example in my book, the 10 year hole in the ground in lower manhattan that should shame everyone of us here. because destroying those buildings is something america's enemies did to us. leaving the hole in the ground for a decade is something we did to ourselves. the empire state building, which was the tallest in the world back then, was put up in 18 months during a depression. where's that spirit today? what can you do in 18 months today? that 10 year hole in the ground in lower manhattan is profound and eloquent and what it's telling us about america's sclerosis. g is the global retreat. as britain and other great powers quickly learned, the price of the government at home is an ever smaller presence abroad. first comes reorientation, the shrinking of the horizon. after empire britain turned inward. between 1951-1987 the proportion of government expenditure on defense staff from 24%, to 7% while the proportion on health and welfare rose from 22%, to 53%. and

i am pro-america's cup, and i think we can make it clean and green. we urge you to work harder on that. thank you. and i also want to submit this letter i submitted to the board and to the america's cup on the shoreside power which gives you more detail on the emissions. president olague: thank you. >> hello. my name is daniel osborn. i live at 2143 joined street -- jones street, near greenwich. i've been swimming in aquatic park for over 50 years. many other locations in san francisco de. after finishing swimming at stanford, years ago, i found this very receptive place. there is no other location in the entire san francisco bay area that is protected as aquatic park is for swimming. i have personally participated in the rescue of a swimmer who was done in by a tugboat. it was not a pleasant experience. i would like to see the eir address the recreational use of aquatic park, which does not address. i even have the knowledge of the 1900's of city beautiful development of the area, which designated the aquatic park area for recreational use. even thou

america, we are celebrating red white and blue america. [applause] what brought us here today out in this field? why are we not watching the hawkeyes or grilling up some of venison or corn on the cob on this labor day weekend? what brought us together is a love of country. we see that america is hurting. we are not willing to sit back and watch the demise through some fundamental transformation of the greatest country on earth, we are here to stop that transformation and to begin the restoration of the country that we love. [applause] we are here because america is at a tipping point. america is facing a crisis. it is not a crisis like a midwest summer storm -- it moves in and then it moves on -- this kind will relentlessly rage until we restore all that is free, good, and write about america. he -- right about america. [applause] it is not fear of a double-dip recession or a credit downgrade, it is deeper than that. this is a spit -- systemic crisis due to failed policies and incompetent leadership. we are going to speak truth today becau

france might aid america.pain might aid america, and others might as well, but if the objective was to be reconciled with great britain, there was nothing for these foreign powers. but if america became independent, britain would be weekend. they might gain american trade. they might be willing to come to the assistance of a america. and so, starting early in 1776, you can almost feel a groundswell for independence building. committees of safety called for independence. colonial assemblies passed resolutions authorizing their congressmen to vote for independence. and, finally, in may of 1775, virginia's assembly passed a resolution actually instructing their congressmen to introduce a resolution calling for congress to declare independence. and richard henry lee who was the leader of the virginia delegation on june the seventh, 1775, introduced the motion calling for independence. there was an immediate debate, a sharp debate that lasted for two days. and four of the conservatives spoke against independence. j

no longer is america feared. and no longer do many americans have confidence that their government has a handle on complex problems at home or abroad. so the theme for the republican challenger in next year's presidential race is likely to be i'll restore america because it will be hard for president obama to argue that the country does not need restoration. now, last night, nine republican contenders took the stage in orlando florida. nothing dramatic happened but there were some interesting expositions. let's start with the frontrunner rick perry. the governor knows that at this point mitt romney is his real competition for the nomination. so perry is trying to brand romney as obama light. he seize upon education to make that point. president obama wants the feds to set much of the educational agenda with his race to the top program. perry tried to lay that on romney. >> there is one person on this stage that is for obama's race to the top and that is governor romney. he said so just this last week. i think tha

america. [laughter] >> i hesitate to say that with samuel adams being on the program tonight. i'll be interviewing john and you'll hear some great stories about how he created america's greatest brewery. also by the way, i was his banker before i became a librarian so i know the inside story and terry mcdonald, his sister, is one of our outstanding employees and she has pictures and bail bond receipts. [laughter] >> so that should be fun. also, this is, obviously, a history-loving audience. we have terry again on august 11th talking about one of the most battles of the civil war in our part of the country, maybe the most important, the battle of wilson's creek. this is part of an ongoing series as many of you know we're doing with the command and general staff college at fort leavenworth and we're doing these more or less on the anniversaries of the great battles of the civil war. so look for that. and then i also want to mention we have a documentary film, an excellent film, called 45 years a

heard of before well you know it for the republican party at this point is showing you know that america's kind of tribal in terms of you know if it doesn't affect my tribe i don't care and poverty and the poor people aren't really a constituency you know the they don't have to try to do what i'm trying to get example voice and so you know they're easy to pick on and you can also say well i'm not poor i'm not like them. you know they might be a racial or ethnic minority the problem is we're you drill drill down deep is this is affecting people beyond minorities i mean you're looking at a bankruptcy for seniors and students i mean are on the rise so you've got people on both ends of society who are declaring bankruptcy and it's not because they're going buck wild with credit cards it's health care costs it's losing jobs it's mortgages it's not having any jobs so this is going to kind of creep into you know the complacent tried let's just say and i think you're going to see people start to tip and say wait a minute we need to ask hard questions about this because even though we're not poor p

a nation of by and for the rich and to hell with the rest of america. i went to the dentist today to get a filling replaced and walked out with. but more troubling than the extent of the painful dental procedure was that the dentist told me it was what he told me before he went to work i had thought about the posed offices financial problems and i told him my theory about how republicans want to privatized the post office or place you know a little over a half million you know his workers with a little over half a million taco bell wage employees and that's when he said words to the effect of well at least detroit understands what's going on they have new hires coming into the auto plants they're making thirteen bucks an hour no reason to pay someone thirty bucks an hour to put screws on a tire. i mean really wanted to say to him that the reason why automakers in detroit used to make thirty bucks an hour was so they could become part of the middle class raise a family have a home and car take vacations but their kids through college back then our govern

watch america. we must protect america from this road to ruin. special interest has corrupted our political system, and are profiting while america declines. we must not let the story of america ended this way. if the communist nation of china becomes the new economic world leader, the noble ideals of american democracy will be delegated to the dust end of history. another nation that could not compete. now let me be specific about the three things we need to do. i am not a tariff by. -- guy. they were fantastic for 165 years but they were characterized by backroom political dealings with some congressmen are doing for unusually high tariffs to protect their district. paris protected america, but i wanted something better. i wanted a means to apply a means to protect our industry based on economic necessity to allow factories to survive with a small profit but to reward -- but not reward them with undeserved profit. i wanted to protect our industries using economics. rather than politics. you was different. we created two simple methods to save a

how does america prepare for this kind of event?america has been preparing incrementally for ten years since 9/11. the intelligence is better, the response is better, the command and control is better. but those are not tools you want to end up using. i mean, the intelligence is on the front end. and what mayor giuliani was referring to, 40 attacks, that's now closer to 50. and that involves almost about 130 individuals who have become suspects in those cases since 9/11 in those 50 plots. that's an awful lot of plotting and planning that has been interdicted. that's a good thing. but you have to remember, there are a couple where we were just lucky. the plane over detroit? that was not a thing where we were there in place to stop it. he broke the detonator and his bomb failed to go off. we were lucky there. the truck bomb in times square in may of '09 with faisel shazad? he flew under the radar. the plots by al qaeda and time and time again the extraordinary work by the cia, nsa and other agencies, the fbi has stopped those attacks

>> you know, there's many needs to improve america's educational system. some kids in america do need to be in higher-quality schools so i see the value of that. i would stress though the value of the transportation and broader pieces of infrastructure that touches american business. the jobs crisis we face today is predominantly a job crisis of private sector job creation. we have about 109 million private sector jobs in the united states today. that's the same number we had 12 years ago in the fall of 1999. and to build millions of private sector jobs linked to the dynamic globally engaged companies that traditionally have really played a big role in helping to grow the american economy and with lots of links to small business also, those are companies when you look at surveys of both large and small businesses one of the big hiring constraints that they cite is our crumbling infrastructure. >> ifill: but that sounds like a completely different approach than government money being spent on actually hiring construction workers to rebuild a crumbling under

it goes on to say adaptively reused for the america's cup. i hope there will be significant push back to properly sort that out. there is a series of implementation plans i would have liked to have in order to look at the e.i.r. and look at the impact plan. i have never seen the plan. i am not familiar of any draft of the park event operations plan. only in draft form available in the fall of 2011. the public safety plan, i am not sure where that stands. the sustain ability plan, workforce development plan and traffic plan and team base operational manual. all of them are mentioned. i think this body and you yourself would meet all of those to understand what is really intended here. again, i think while we expect to get these documents, the timely delivery are essential. i would submit my comments in writing. >> i would like to thank everyone from the public for coming out. i think we need to -- i would like to clarify a couple of things even though this is supposed to be comments on the e.i.r. in looking through the environmental report esp

i think it's an opportunity as well for america to reassess, regroup, move on and america is going throughw. but as you saw in new york after that event on 9/11, the power of americans to recover from these things is pretty formidable and incredibly impressiimpressive. that's what is required now. >> we sure remember how united we were after september 11th. and we should kind of maybe take some of that and have it move over into having to deal with our economic problems and some of our other problems and try to find a way to meet each other in the middle. i have very strong views, as you know. i've expressed them on your show many times. i've always been more than willing to reach a really good bargain where i have to give up a little of mine to get a little bit of yours. and that's the way you govern in this country. that's the way i governed new york city in a city that was 5-1 democratic and got through very conservative programs. i had to give up certain things in order to do that. we have to have that kind of realism if we want this country to really work. >> yep. rudy, as always, it'

this year marks a decade since al qaeda september eleventh attacks on the united states as america and the rest of the world commemorate the day it is the decade of the events that followed which poses the hardest questions and calls for a look back from the passing of the contentious patriot act to the war in afghanistan and iraq the answer to nine eleven has involved a vast effort to root out transnational extremism and chip would president george bush famously coined the war on terror the war on terror. begins without god. but it does not end there it will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found stopped and defeated a decade later the system set up to keep america safe involves more than one thousand government organizations and nearly two thousand private companies specializing in counterterrorism across the united states and this comes with a number will the price tag eighty billion dollars spent in total intelligence gathering last year alone and over one trillion dollars spent so far on the wars in iraq afghanistan and other war on terror operations gi

i want america to be better. lots of similarities.eople have drawn between you both as men, as human beings. what barack obama has discovered is that the reality of being president is it is pretty brutal and washington is a brew it will place. you're going to get chewed up, spat out, your hair is going to turn gray -- which in your case is not too big a problem, it is half-way there already. but it is a draining, relentless, pretty unpleasant job to have. are you, jon huntsman who is by common consent, one of the nice guys in politics, are you ready for that? do you want to get your hand dirty in the grubbiness of running for high office and all that comes with it? >> we've come this far. i've raised seven kids. you want a challenge in life? you raise teenagers in today's environment. i've are infor political office. i've sat in the trenches of china, our most difficult and combative relationship. i bring a lot of experiences that most people never have when they come into the presidential fray. are you prepared for it? i ask one ques
