brunswick. >> this was a little bit audacious. >> reporter: the newly combined bowl more amf spent $70 million to score 85 additional centers from brunswick in 2014. the company currently operates under four brand names. bowl more, amf, brunswick zone, and bolero, and it spares no expense on renovation. >> do you work with theatrical stage and set designers to do this? >> we do it all in-house. for me the funnest part of the business is i guess to create this crazy spectacle in which you can bowl. it actually has an economic return. >> reporter: a healthy one at that. in 2015, the annual revenue hit higher than half a billion dollars and welcomed more than 25 million visitors to its lanes. >> i view this as a long term play. and i don't know where the limit is. i expect at some point we'll be a multi-billion dollar diversified entertainment company. >> y >> well done! >> once in a lifetime. shannon has no plans to take the company public anytime soon, but he's looking to expand his empire outside the bowling >>> by using an old fashioned stick-to-it-iveness, a group of working moms cre

so the president can think of some amf i would be happy to take a look at it. >> you had opposed military action in syria in the past. what makes last night different? >> i will to the difference. secretary carrie i guess in order to reassure the left leaning members of his own party said it would be like a pinprick. you know it really would not be of any big consequence. i don't know what he had in mind knocking out a couple of camels or what. but this was a strike that was well-planned, well executed and went right to the heart. had i seen that kind of

going after isis, i think within the province of the amf. other actions have to be much more -- >> going after assad would not fall under the amf? >> no, i don't think so. i think going after assad in terms of the deliberate, concentrated effort to conduct military operations would require the authorization of congress. i think the tact that the president took place, i agree with the attack, was done under his prerogative as responding to an incident or horrible incident the right or the ability of the nations to protect populations. but i think anything further should be considered by the congress. >> is there a circumstance where you would support sending more troops to syria? >> one of the things the president will have to do is lay out a plan, a clear plan. the ad hoc nature of what he does, the kind o flip-flops which we've seen dramatically suggest incoherent policy. i think temperamentally as well as spiritually, he's trying to come to grips with these things. he doesn't seem to be someone that follows through with the deliberate plan

i don't disagree with you at all, chris, and i agree that the amf doesn't cover this and there shoulddiscussion with congress. i don't know that's their intent. i think the sense i got last night was they believe this was targeted. it was limited. it was discreet in terms of retaliating for a specific attack by the assad regime. i don't know that they have an intention to necessarily have a long-term strategy. i think that's a mistake because i think now whether they like it or not, i have that put their thumb on the scale in a civil war. we have not to date taken a strike against the assad regime. that's now changed. and it does introduce come unpredictable outcomes going forward. i would hope they're thinking about potential repercussions and going forward and trying to develop a strategy. i'm not sure that's where their head space is right now. >> we are going to bring in fareed sa car yeah. it is day 78 of the trump presidency. what happened last night? >> i think this was a big moment because candidate trump had said he would never get involved in the syrian civil war. he told pr

. >> reporter:al goe rit i amf >> reporter: they're even threatening the masters of the universe, twoks ago, black rock, the world's largest money manager announced that it's laying off dozens of human stock pickers and replacing them with robots. by 2025, across the financial industry, artificial intelligence is expected to replace 230,000 human workers. >> bring on the disruption that is automation. >> reporter: this is the chief information officer at goldman sachs. the company now hires nearly as many computer engineers as financial workers. >> reporter: in the movie "wall street", they would be barking buy, buy, buy, into the phone. >> now they're going click, click, click. >> reporter: a quarter of these people aren't traders. they're coders. writing software to automate the routine grunt work of employees all across the company. someday, could software replace the functions of these folks? >> that's a great question. i don't think anybody knows the answer. >> reporter: all right, we get it. no job is safe. according to one recent study, 47% of american jobs could be lost to aut

trump himself has paid the amf. information from his leaked 2005 return show without it he would have paid only $5.3 million in taxes instead of $37 million. the president himself may fair better under these proposals. we don't know for sure since he won't release his tax returns. they are saying this will be the biggest tax cuts in history. the question, again, will it be tax reform, real reform that can grow the economy or just tax cuts that are expensive. >> it's just about universal agreement. we need lower corporate taxes and simplification of the code. but you're wondering what does this mean for me and how does this help get me a job. >> this is a starting point. you have to work for congress. the house has been work iing on tax proposals for a long time. there are parts of this tax that do not jive with what paul ryan is doing. >> it's a start. shifting to health care. with that battle brewing, all eyes on the moderate house republicans after after the freedom caucus voted to back a deal. the latest was hamm

intentions to go beyond tomahawk missiles being shot into air strips, and that can only be done with the amf being authorized by the house. >> reporter: aumf stands for authorization to use military force. other bay area congressional members also weighed in today. east bay democrat mark says the u.s. needs a strategy. in a statement he said, these rash air strikes alone are not sufficient to combat the war crimes perpetrated by the assad regime. oakland democrat barbara lee went further. saying the missile strikes, quote, represent a dangerous military escalation into the syrian civil war and are without legal justification. everyone agrees the wild card is russia and its support for assad. >> i think the russian support to assad regime is really a crime against humanity as well. >> reporter: in san francisco, eric thomas, abc 7 news. >> we have news from the sports world this afternoon and it is not good news involving the 49ers dealing with the fall out of yet another player in trouble with the law. corner back tremendous main brock was arrested by santa clara police after a woman called

be amf is forecasting to firm 2.5% annual growth rate. of the real takeaways is not so much the warning about protectionism, because they have to do that. it's really the more optimistic picture about the world. japan upgraded, china upgraded. and the post-brexit u.k. upgraded as well. oliver: that brings me to the next question. this is showing the imf projection for 2018. if you dive into the terminal, what we are looking at is up to 3.6%, but as you pointed out, i remember the next night the imf said that the growth forecast was going to lower and they cut it by 21%. a small amount. they did say right after brexit, they had to rethink global growth and apparently they reversed on that. how we filter out what's going to happen? dan: it's really important to distinguish between the bark of populism and some of the populace to driven election results, and the actual policy bite. brexit did not mean the end of the u.k. economy. despite some warnings, the election result in november here did not lead to unraveling of the global order. toare

. >> another thing that disturbs me is that we seem to be operating under the amf from 2001. i'm curious as to whether our intervention militarily -- and i hope to see more civil society work -- do you think they want to continue to use that as a justification for their intervention? i open that up to either one of you? sayrah jones: i can't i am noi am not -- longer in the government. contacts onng from the special forces side that they are hearing signals that we are essentially going to go to a hit and run policy in libya as opposed to get together the kind of injuring solution. >> if i could -- what you are saying is that it will be an whack-a-molec blac effort? you don't hear any plans of long-term ground? and you are saying it is unnecessary anyway? i hear nothing to that end. deborah jones: i am hearing tactical inpatients. people want to act against what , not considering the libyan context. libyans don't have indigenous isis, by and large. it is opportunistic and they don't want to share their wealth. they have been the ones to call isil out in their own country. tha

it's not an enduring presence which would mean the o 1 amf is operative. you don't hear any plans of any long term ground and you're saying it's unnecessary anyway. i hear nothing to that end. >> right. i'm hearing what i call tactical impatience. people want to act against what they see there. really not considering the overall libyan context which is that libyans unlike syrians or iraq don't have indigenous isis by and large. it's open opportunistic as dr. wary said. and they don't want to share their wealth. and will not allow. they have been the ones to call isil out in their own country. >> okay. that's problematic for me on a number of levels. i want to jump requick in the remaining few seconds. human trafficking is a serious concern in this country. the iom reported that they're being held hostage through slave markets. furthermore, trafficking and smug fr smuggling from many lishas are driving the conflict. there i want to know if you have any input for us, either one about, what we should do to address this lather humanitarian crisis. obvious lish
