america. can you juxtapose those things for me? >> first of all, i want to say that i would like to spend the next few hours listening to dr. west. [laughter] i was completely spellbound. then i thought that at some point tavis is going to come to me, and i would rather sit here listening. one of the reasons is that i think we are also starved of poetry in our public discourse. everything is so prosaic. so much is about data. o just listening to cornel reminds us how malnourished we are when it comes to that. i think there is not a contradiction between what he is saying and what i say about america. i do not think you can ever return to anything, even if there was such a thing as america's absolute brightness, including for the poor and our working people. my great compatriot, the philosopher herodotus, said you can never enter the same river twice. everything flows. everything moves on. everything changes. having made that philosophical point, practically, as an immigrant to this country --

so wisely that had chosen sentences go as the venue for the 34th america's cup. it is an incredible pleasure to work with greg thompson, the director of the america's cup event of authority, who will be here facilitating the event and making sure that it meets all of the expectations of not just larry ellison and the oracle team, but all of the teams that will be competing here.

it is a promotional event for the america's cup.he words on everybody's lips for the next few years will be san francisco. the end of the process will be the america's cup itself. this will be the new tour, and an annual champion will be crowned in the world series of the america's cup. part of that will also be here in san francisco in august of 2012. we are hoping and we are expecting to introduce a whole new generation of fans to this event. not only the sports fans, but to the general interest fans. how'd we do that? by top quality tv broadcasting, by making the sport and the event much more understandable than it has ever been, by guaranteeing race start times, by great industry standard television camera coverage, and by great programming. let's face it, this will be a great american story. it's an american defender of one of the greatest sporting trophies there is. sailing on american waters to fend off challenges from all over the world. it will be a great american story.

the rhode island america's cup committee. when they were told that they were no long been -- no longer in the running, the rhode island america's cup committee went right on rolling with an ambitious to build part of a new waterfront to put in a bid to host a world series america's cup event, which they believe will be bigger than the america's cup matches they used to happen in newport. i can tell you on the basis of conversations in the last week with figures and said the america's cup organizing in rhode island, they have a bid for the america's cup world series regatta, and all they have to do is take be wide out, take out the world series, and they have the america's cup bid. >> i speak an endorsement of the america's cup, but with the special feature i would like to bring to your attention. let's speak about pier 30 and 32. if this new proposal is going to be -- it is a bit of giving away the family jewels. the only thing i can rely upon is this report, and the gentleman knows how to crunch numbers with his unimpeachabl

i want to do my part for the america's cup.could launch it into something that could be used for the san francisco future. if i could have all of the money i could take, i would probably personally be able to create between 75 and 100 jobs in san francisco during america's cup. that might not factor into the analysis. basically, something that is important for the city to do -- we are transforming the waterfront. it is huge. i have sailed in maryland, florida, south california, the gulf, everywhere -- key west, d.c., boston. i have seen the waterfront from the outside in the inside. this is the biggest opportunity any city has ever had. i am really looking forward to the potential of raising my kid in the america's cup environment. it is something i dreamed of as a kid. if it could be a reality for my son, that would be huge. this is a long-term investment that europe would take seriously. it is something we in america do not understand. sailing is a big part of the world. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. >> my name is patrick

he is on swiss team and they won the america's cup. i had this idea -- [laughter] i sailed a bunch with russell and against him. i decided it was a much better idea to sail with him than against them. i think the record speaks for itself. russell could not be here today. he is ill. he has pneumonia. he apologizes for not being here. russell has been our leader and organizer of this great team to win this trophy for him for the fourth time. he will be our leader again in defending the trophy against -- [applause] i decided not to make the mistake of letting russell go to another team. that would be a really bad idea. we signed him up again. we will be defending the trophy against a number of great teams. in fact, they will be the greatest sailing teams in the world. sailors of that caliber, sailing the fastest boats in the world, in the most extraordinary place to hold a sailboat race.

the question is this -- will america and door? -- will america and door? i don't say this dramatically -- will america endure? things like the crushing deficit, bankrupting america and the size and scope of government, weakening of our national security, those are elements of this momentous question. it is not raised unfortunately in all of congress or in washington dc or even in the pages of the mainstream media. it does not fit the narrative of the political class. but it's a question i think i hear when i'm out in the streets talking to people. this is the question that animates people in iowa, minnesota and people across the country. people -- politicians are not talking about it, but people are talking about this question. long before we ever became a republic, indeed it the moment before the first settlers arrived, this unique idea was forged in this covenant called the mayflower compact articulated by john winthrop. it was the compelling moral commandment imposed by this covenant on ourselves as a people. it was adopted and honored by every succeedi

challenge for the america's cup. this is a very historic and exciting opportunity. set aside what you know about the grand 159-year history of the america's cup because its san francisco gets to host the america's cup, in our city, we can transfer the america's cup on the most exciting, popular, financially viable america's cup ever. there are three reasons why this is the case -- our natural a minute, our reliable wins, and a spectator-friendly, spectator- oriented race course -- our natural arena, our reliable winds. this is a great contrast to the offshore races, which have been characteristic of the america's cup until now. the races are all 20 miles offshore. a spectator could ever see them. secondly, reliable wins. in newport, about 40% of all the races were canceled. in valencia, half of all the races were canceled. by contrast, the reliable wins in san francisco, averaging 20 knots on a summer day, permitted a schedule of summer race days. reliable race days would present a media coverage, generate bigger aud

welcome to obama's america.so, that's for going to jump back in time and see how this all got started. what's interesting about persecution politics and what separates it from other movements such as the red scare and the movements is that i'm persecution they have appropriated civil rights movement only they turned it on head. they embraced discussion of persecution and civil rights and civil liberties, but they say we're the ones being discriminated against. it is a sway people, as christians. and the movements were they kind of if you can't beat them, join them and use the same language turned around. the spark to this movement was in fact school integration in 1954. so we're going to talk about that, how the movement got started and how those ripple effects carried out ticket later today. in 1954, the u.s. supreme court ruled in brown v. board of education of topeka to segregated schools violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, set in motion a chain of events that would be to the birth of

kennedy won the presidency of the united states of america. it is 50 years in january since he gave that famous inauguration address that many of you will have red and of sort and be inspired by as i was and many other people were coming and in that inauguration address the there are many great phrases and sentiments and the implications to do good. ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. never negotiate from half year, never fear to negotiate. the torch has passed a new generation. in fact, richard nixon was asked if he were an opponent in the election which of these lines he would love to have given himself that he had been the president, and he replied the line is i accept the presidency of the united states of america. [laughter] i was asked by people compiling for the kennedy library if i would read some of the words from this inaugural address, and they've asked people from every continent of the world from india, china, let it america, europe, to read a section of the great inaugural address, and

two more questions. >> the america's cup is an enormous undertaking. i know many people have tried and failed and left. what is the driving force and motivation for you to keep going and accomplish this almost impossible goal? >> there is a personal and to that, why i pursued the america's cup, and then there is the sense and responsibility i have toward the sailing community. turning this from an elitist event into a popular sporting event. i sail primarily with professional sailors. i sail on the professional circuit. i spend a lot of time with professional sailors. professional sailing is not as popular a sport as it could be, i think, because it has not done the right tv coverage, the boats we are sailing on are perhaps not as exciting to watch or sail, compared to somebody doing back flips off of a mogul. it is not an extreme sport, but we are trying to make it attractive. we want to attract young people, tv viewers. that would greatly benefit all the people who make their living selling. i have been a part of that community for a long time. i hav

i urge you to support the america's cup in san francisco. supervisor mirkarimi: next speaker, please. >> i am a lifelong san francisco resident. i am here to support the host city agreement. i recently read in "the garden," and a fellow supervisor spoke to the two-threshold test for voting for the america's cup. is it is a good deal -- is it a good deal for san francisco? is it the best deal? the first threshold makes sense. i believe it is a good deal for san francisco. especially the northern waterfront option and the new protections guarantees suggested by supervisor chu. the second notion that this needs to be the best option seems misplaced. it is unknowable. as in poker, you have to put your money in before you can see the other players' cards. the only way to know if you got the best deal possible is if mr. allison walked away from the deal. -- if mr. ellison walked away from the deal. secondly, other cities are ready. we should take this opportunity now with the deal we are presented. lastly, i think it is unrealistic to term the exc

america must -- the investment america must make to succeed. it was an american investment a lot of tax dollars went into it. not only did we put a man on the moon but we created an enormous industry that gives us everything from, i don't know, the ability of this iphone to work, satellite all the great technologies that we have, many of the great technologies we have today on communications and travel and defense came directly from that initiate investment made by the american people to put a man on the moon. when the president talks about the innovation economy, he's talking about the same kind of, let's do it, let's build this thing for the future, and from that leadership, we will find the opportunity to really grow our economy and a whole new industry. you talked about the electrical industry generated a century ago and now you talked about the great space industry and we're going to enter a new industry. it'll be the solar technologies, it'll be the wind, the energy technologies, it'll be transportation. when one talks about transportatio

if america ceases to be good america will cease to be correct. it is not a popular notion, but we fail and our own peril. of a chapter to set up, i have a chapter in the book about congress. what are we going to do about congress? i spent all of three years there. based on what i said in the book and may not want me ever back, and that's okay with me. harry truman famously complained about the do nothing congress. would love to have a do nothing congress. when you are of little boys grow taking civics class in high school little school 11 the the best and brightest go to washington to serve in congress. that is not true. when you get there you find a real cross-section. pfft a have a friend who says tm people need representation to. well, they have got it. a provide specific recommendations of how we can fix congress. it is not enough to let another group of good people. there are some hon. and great leaders debated is not enough to send another cast of characters. the need to structurally change our nation's capitol. we need to go back to the fo

[applause] mayor lee: good morning, everyone. just walking through the peers with members of the port. i can not only say that not only did we make the right decision, the world has made the right decision. this is one of the most beautiful places on our -- earth that this 34th america's cup could possibly be. when you look out today, you'll get a glimpse of what millions of other people and viewers and visitors will see in 2013. my first thought was to let you know that this was a very high priority for me. many of you know i was not here december 31, so i have been looking for the unopened champagne bottle that was suppos

or why america goes to wars, how america fights the wars and how all these things turn out. but as i hope i will make clear before the end of the evening, there is a close connection. the first thing i will say is it was a period bracketed by war. 1865 is chosen, of course, because it's the end of of the civil war. but i cheated a little bit in the book. the argument of the of book really starts in about 1860 or 1861. i didn't put that in the subtitle of the book because the subtitle has the years 1865-1900 because i didn't want readers to think i was going to write a history of the civil war of which there have been many and better than i could write in the space that i was going to give to it. although here i will say parenthetically that i'm at work on a biography of ulysses grant, so i'm going to get back to work on the civil war in greater detail. anyway, it has a lot to do with how and why america industrialized. and my story ends, really, with the war with spain in 1898 and the war in the philippines, the war with spain triggers. so it's an era that begins in war and
