stephen bartlett from the event of authority. there is a lot to digest today -- mr. stephen barkley from the event authority. so there is a lot to digest today. hold on a minute while i load up the slide show. i would like to start by introducing the america's cup project director from the office of economic and workforce development, mr. mike martin. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am very excited to be here before you to give you a bit of an overview of the america's cup events in the planning we have been doing. first, i want to sort of thank all the hard work from your staff here at the port of san francisco. it has been an enjoyable, professional experience over the past year to learn how the port and see all the great work that has gone into it. i would like to thank our partners. together, i think we are building a better project with the help of the community engagement that has been so robust. we hope to continue that work with the actions ahead of you as well as going forward. without further ado, let's move into the overview. i am going to give a proje

. >> interesting that republican bartlett said many times the president sounded like a repluckly canertainly sounded like a democrat, one using many of the plans for the speech tonight in a campaign that began just a couple of hours ago. leslie and anita. >> it certainly did, gary, thank you. well governor mitch daniels of indiana delivered the republican response to president obama's state of the union address. >> no feature of the obama presidency. has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to favor with some americans by castigating others. as in previous moments of national damager, we americans are all in the same boat. if we drift, paralyzed over debt, we will all suffer, regardless of income, race, gender or other categories. >> daniels called the president's policies "pro- poverty." the governor said we should not be a nation of haves and have- nots but rather a nation of haves and soon to haves. to read to his cop pleat remarks go to wusa9.com. >>> the president did make sure to stop and embrace representative gabrielle giffords before tonights address. she will

charlie bartlett is with him. to crazy campaign. he ends up almost winning.he is moving ahead and then sam raeburn puts in the fence. he calls on the oklahoma governor who does not like kennedy. kennedy doesn't have it. he has a lot of strength in the south but not enough. kefauver was good with civil rights and he also ran in the primary almost beating stephenson. kefauver deserved it. but kennedy came so close. he said if i can get this close, with no preparation then think what i can do if i spent four years running for president. >> host: 1960 iran. we don't have time to do the whole campaign because we want to get to his presidency but they're wonderful stories, stories, the one about the first debate in chicago. and the makeup that you have in your book are co. >> guest: first of all kennedy really took the debate seriously. he went out with don hewitt who later became head of 60 minutes but he was director. he wants to know where i stand where the lighting is and where everything is. he wanted to get a fix on it. nixon was really afraid of the press an

. >> the one that was supposed to be the gold standard, bartlett's, gets worse with each succeeding new. they get rid of a lot of timeless really classic quotes. they look for politically correct new ones. also they put in a lot of trivia now, stuff that will be meaningless in a few years. >> and also people who withstand the test of time. you don't have the montesquieu and -- >> and that's -- and that hits the heart of the matter. if you are going to have something memorable, it will play on an immediate mode of reaction. that's why you remember it. look at churchill, a lot of his words were very, very, very pointed and could be construed as offensive like the one he made about indians. the indians are, you know, men of straw and once they get independence, they won't be able to fight. they have never been able to fight and you're have an army of germans. if you read the quote, it's beautiful. you may not agree with it, but to do away with the quote is folly. similarly -- >> did him in this country where kipling, rudyard kipling just a few sentences did him in. he is a much more comple

still to come we'll talk taxes with former treasury official bruce bartlett and later we talk to aolk box" will be back. >> hey, becky and joe, next time you're in davos, get a beavertail. >> "squawk box" is coming right back at you, eh? and investment banking services. between black and white answers... ...and 1,000 shades of grey duff & phelps finds the sweet spot that powers sound decisions. duff & phelps financial advisory and investment banking services. >>> as the gop candidates battle it out, tax reform still remains one of the biggest issues on the table. can the candidates to what president obama hasn't done to this point or is this too tough for either side to take on, reinventing the tax reform wheel is a huge issue. joining us with more to talk about his new book is bruce bartlett, served as a treasury official under george h.b. bush the author of "the benefit and the burden: tax reform, why we need it and what it will take." a lot of people on both sides of the aisle are looking at it. do you think this is something that can be accomplished in the next two years,

he is the president of a group called josiah bartlett center for public policy. you very much for being with us. guest: thank you for having me. host: why don't you tell us a little bit about your organization and where you fit on the political spectrum? where does your point of view emanate from? guest: we're a free market oriented think tank. we are economically conservative. generally, we think taxes are too high and the government spends too much money. host: can you give us your snapshot of the new hampshire voting public and where they are today? guest: well, there are two different snapshots of the voting public. one is the general boating public. democrats and republicans, and independents, and the other is the primary. new hampshire has historically been a more republican state than the rest of the country. in the last few years, maybe the lesast decade and a half, it has become more of a tossup. george bush won won and lost one. in each case, it was a nip and tuck battle. the last election was a little wider. i think that it is trending a little bit mor

there's a great one when president bartlett makes a similar address about america when he is facewide christian bigot in the oval office. there were moments like that which are relevant today, aren't they? america is crying out for a re-affirmation of what it is in their heart. >> yeah. it's this time of year that people look back on west wing because we would like to see that kind of idealized government and those leaders. i think behind closed doors our real leaders are more similar to the west wing people than not in fairness. in my experience in washington it's always been the people are there for the right reasons. they really believe in the great themes that the "west wing" drama advertised. they don't wear makeup as well as we do. >> if you were in the white house now advising president obama as the sam sea born character wharks would you be saying to him? >> well, without getting into the politics of it, i think this recess a pintment is exactly the kind of thing that the "west wing" white house chief of staff would have add voe katded for the president to be bold. so whether

the winner will face off against roscoe bartlett. >> for montgomery county public schools, the math simply doesn't add up. the county has asked the state lem slate tour for $184 million to help upgrade and renovate aging school buildings but the state is only offering $24 million. >> we have about 2500 more kids every year coming in and it is important that we have facilities they need to meet the growth. >> the county plans to keep asking the state for the extra cash. >>> time right now, almost 6:06. i'm jessica doyle. i'm watching your money. did you know there is a growing number of young adults who will put their savings ahead of their social lives? this morning, the small things you can do to save, lisa german know is a cpa and a member of the american institute of certified public accountants. they're behind the financial literacy campaign called feed the pig. thanks so much for coming in. >> thank you for having me. >> tell me a little bit about feed the pig and this new psa you guys have. >> feed the pig started in 2006. right now, young adults ages 25 to 34 years old, that's what

on the indications are from his friends, charlie bartlett. he was headed for a political career. this was not true. the miniature was killed, he was there. >> host: so, his father was ambassador in saint churns and monday and could do with adolf hitler. and the second son has jackie describe as all of those things and weak in some respects he said no, dad, you're wrong. and he cut his fathers like that because his father was somewhat agree with them. he said yes, britain was justified munich and 38 because they were ready to fight. but they should have been ready to fight and baldwin thought of not taking i'm not the threat seriously. i 38 they were launching what he called the locust aid. they were ready to fight the not these and kennedy drafted cleaned up by arthur crock. he wrote basically they were ready to fight. retired well better well be ready to fight consists to become a world war. i think it's fair to say he did not want to fight the. he seemed to do nothing to this guy. what is happening is the final solution. they are being picked to come and taken away, deported he

all indications are from his friend, charlie bartlett. he was headed for a political career. this is really not true that he wasn't ready to go for it. the miniature was killed, he was there. >> host: his father was a st. james and london and believed he could do with adolf hitler. here is his second son, jackie describes according to your book is all of those things and weak in some respects and afraid, he said no, dad, you're wrong. >> guest: brilliantly he caught his father's legs off. he said yes, it is justified in munich and 38 because they were ready to fight. but he said they should have been ready to fight and baldwin tucked them into not taking the threat seriously. by 38 there is still weak as the lawsuit he called and then kennedy drafted was cleaned up by arthur kraft. he wrote basically they were ready to fight. retired well better be ready to fight because this could become a reporter. -year-old man was not an appeaser. he did not want to fight. he had no beef with them. what was happening -- the final solution didn't begin until 42, but this stuff was going on

for officer: bartlett said he has been looking around and he can still see white almost everywhere he looks that is why the fog divisors will stay in place. >>james: we have been following nasty weather across the country. this is video from the first location we will talk about. a massive snowstorm here in indianapolis. snow and ice made driving dangerous. there were some big accidents and if the conditions. indiana state police say they had more than 70 accidents yesterday on interest rates throughout the city. in ohio, nearly two dozen cars were involved in a nasty pilates. officials believe nasty conditions held to stand outside how. four people were taken to a hospital. it is a similar scene in pennsylvania. take a look at the video here. 17 people had to be taken to hospital, some less serious injuries. >>darya: here is a look at whether. that is our been developing story. the fog is the. >>erica: you can barely make out any of the buildings from our roof camera and downtown san francisco. as a result, the national weather service has issued a dense fog advisory in effect until

when we got speeches back, we would write in bartlett's the four eyes and he would scribble in the marginso much rhetoric. and what that meant was, too floury. and he didn't take it out or re-edit, but frequently we would have to take some of the best language out of the speeches because he just simply wasn't comfortable with that kind of language. once in a while we would slip something through but once in a while i would go over on bended knee for a line to stay. and one of the things you learn as a speech writer is that you have to learn to write for your principal's voice. it is their words, even if you just spent the last four days writing every single one of those words, it's their speech and their voice. state of the eunice a little easier most of the time because it isn't so much of a laundry list. it's not that kind of a prose-filled speech. it doesn't have that same kind of flow to it that another speech might. but every speech is reflecting someone else's voice, not your own. >> one more before we get to questions. we are sitting in front of a big sheet of paper, everyone thinks

was a very plain speaker, so when we would get the speeches back we would write in a number of the bartlett lashing the ice, backward, and he would always scribble in the margins, too much rhetoric. that was the phrase. and what it meant was it was too flowery. to all of that language would have to come. he didn't take it out. he didn't rewrite it. he didn't edit it himself, but frequently we would have to take some of the best language out of the speeches because he just simply wasn't comfortable with that kind of language. once in a while we would slip something to come but once in a while our go over on and ended me and beg for a line to stay. but most of the time that was his style. and one of the things you learn as a speech writer is that you have to learn to write for your principal voice. it is not your speech, it is their speech but it is their words even if you just spent the last four days writing every single one of those words. it's their speech and their voice and have to learn to do that. and the state of the yen is after i think a little easier, most of the time because it i
