this has been an incredible 2-and-a-half years from the initial idea when ben davis asked me to consider the bridge and how it can be turned into a canvas and having thought about it and created an assimilation on the computer, animation that so many people saw and were inspired to get behind and enabled to happen. so many people to thank, but certainly folks at cal trans and mayor's office, governors office. there were so many hoops we had to jump through. getting the permit was one of the miracles. i thank you for believing in public art and helping us get this done. amy has been amazing, our executive art director. [ applause ] amy was able to shepherd this impossible project through all the intricacies, i'm in incredibly grateful for her help, grateful for his efforts in another monumental task. he's raised $6 million of our $8 million. this project is an incredible gift by our pat patrons through the city. this is an incredible piece. you don't have to buy a ticket. it's there and available. a very universal quality, it has some response to it. it's operating on a very primal level.

we're back with ruth marcus, ben ferguson, arthur davis.f ted cruz has set up some real now open party feuding, certainly with senate members. and also with some members of the house. where is this headed? >> this is really incredible. if you go back to '95, '96 and the last government shutdown which knocked half a point off the gdp, at least gingrich was in charge of his caucus. now it appears that heritage action and ted cruz and the coke brothers are running the republican caucus. it's a weakness that the leadership has shown in not staring these guys down. >> it's amazing to me how terrified you are of a guy that ran for the senate saying he was going to do actually what he said he was going to do. ted cruz did not come to washington, d.c. to make friends with john mccain and lindsey graham or with john boehner. he went there with the people who said this is how i'm going to get elected -- let me say this real quick. it's important. john mccain and ted cruz are two totally different people. john mccain says i don't like you because you'
