chris: i did.avid: and then the great recession comes, and all of a sudden the debt from the leveraged buyout seems to be burdensome. were you worried the deal was not going to work and you might go bankrupt? chris: david, i slept like a baby. i slept for two hours, woke up and cried, slept for another two hours, woke up and cried. kidding. no, you know, the truth is they were some tense moments at the beginning of the great recession, we never lost faith. you know, jon and i, in particular as the two that put our heart and soul into making this work, jon gray and i, we knew we had a really good strategy. we were building a world-class team, and, you know, i'm a big believer on a steady hand on the wheel. what goes down will come up. don't panic. if you have got a strategy, work the strategy, adapt it to the times, and you will get to the other side. and we did. david: so, you know, you don't have as much gray hair as i do. chris: i might question that. david: did you get any gray hairs from this e

chris: what is that?id: when it came along, the hotel industry shrugged it off that is it a real competitor to you? are you going to be in that business? chris: i do not think it is a real competitor. if you think about what we do, it is something different to what they do. i think we coexist with them quite well. we deliver a high quality consistent product with the amenities wrapped in-service, with all the technology, loyalty and people pay us generally a big premium for that because they want that level of consistent high-quality experience to what they do is something different to what they are doing is by definition cannot have the consistency and the quality and the products and amenities because it is something different. it does not mean it is bad it is satisfying a different trip occasion. if you look at the numbers even pre-covid, we were coexisting quite well. we were at the peak levels of performance at a time when they were growing leaps and bounds and we were not really seeing significant c

and you mentioned it, chris. that gave donald trump the largest number of votes in terms of percentages that he got in 2020. and i think if you look at the commercial that you showed from liz cheney and the one a couple of weeks ago, with her -- starring her father, it is clear that she's not been running a congressional campaign, but as phil said, running a national campaign really for quite some time here. so i think this is -- she'll use tomorrow's loss as a badge, as she has this entire time. and i think make a fairly quick pivot to something larger, bedevilling donald trump in 2023 and 2024. >> one of the interesting things is to hear how much money has been spent in this race. frankly, robert, we see more and more and more money going into these races. nevertheless, wyoming is what, and vaughn will interrupt me if i'm wrong, but i think the entire population is something around 600,000 people and they're spending millions and millions and millions of dollars. does money mean what it used to? does outside mo

for sfgovtv, i'm chris manners.s for watching. >> candlestick park known also as the stick was an outdoor stadium for sports and entertainment. built between 1958 to 1960, it was located in the bayview hunters point where it was home to the san francisco giants and 49ers. the last event held was a concert in late 2014. it was demolished in 2015. mlb team the san francisco giants played at candlestick from 1960-1999. fans came to see players such a willie mays and barry bonds, over 38 seasons in the open ballpark. an upper deck expansion was added in the 1970s. there are two world series played at the stick in 1962 and in 198 9. during the 1989 world series against the oakland as they were shook by an earthquake. candlestick's enclosure had minor damages from the quake but its design saved thousands of lives. nfl team the san francisco 49ers played at candlestick from feign 71-2013. it was home to five-time super bowl champion teams and hall of fame players by joe montana, jerry rice and steve jones. in 1982, the gam

>> i defer to chris on this one. you want to take it off, chris? and i can join in? >> just briefly, first of all, i really appreciate the opportunity to be here. i was remiss that saying that at the outset. so excited about kicking off the program, james. we are very grateful to be connected to pm and al. at the same time, i learn something new every time i listen to andrew and i learned something from you this evening that i really appreciate. all that said, that's a tough question but i would say that andrew got to the heart of the question of what the cold war was, how it was defined. i would just make the case that i worked early on in my career on the periphery of the cold war, in places like central america. there is a war in el salvador, there were frictions with nicaragua. all fought as surrogates to a hot war. the nicaraguan regime at the time. it's a fascinating dynamic that takes us, as andrew indicated, from mozambique across the globe. we'll get into some specifics of the counterintelligence fight, but i think andrew did a great job as a scene setter. a

[ cheers and applause ] ? >> so grateful and overjoyed in this moment now. >> i'm really proud our state came through and decisively won. >> i just decided i know and my loved ones can get the health care we need and deserve. i'm astounded. >> but it wasn't just the margin that raised eye brows. the turnout was historic. more than 900,000 kansasan cast ballots in the sweltering heat. nearly double the primary turnout in 2018 and almost triple what

this is a tough one to unpack, chris.or less, procedurally what happened is bonnie willis, subpoenaed lindsey graham to the grand jury, lindsey graham doesn't want to testify about donald trump's potential georgia state election crimes so he filed a motion to quash or invalidate the entire subpoena and he said he has a privilege and he shouldn't have to testify and the judge may denied that and said no, there are hundreds of questions that the prosecutors could ask that have nothing to do with your potential speech and debate clause protections. lindsey graham appealed it to the 11th circuit and they kicked it back to judge may and said, judge may, try to figure out on a question by question basis what lindsey graham might have speech and debate protection to and what questions he wouldn't have that protection to. and that is really curious because that is not how any of this works. ordinarily, the witness appears in the grand jury and answers all of the questions that do not conjure up any priv ling speech or debate or a

i'm sure chris has got a few. i spoke about ideology earlier and you can see a lot of the 20th century was about a conflict between communism, fascism and liberalism fascism, by in large at the general level and that isn't something that's gone away, that's struggle for idealology for how to arrange governments for levels of individual freedom. that's something that's still continuing. communism has not went away. it wept away in the soviet, it's not went away in china and we see lots of interesting developments taking place in the south china sea and that's a growth, we have seen the international system change and china assessing itself and that's a post-war context. >> chris, do you have anything to add? i think that was great comment? >> no that was comprehensive. andrew does a great job of capturing. >> i thought that was fantastic and kind of takes us to our last question here which in a sense one of the questions that we have gotten from our audience. you know, what implications does the cold war have for t

let's get to chris alvarez with a preview of sports.hris: coming up in sports, the giants needing a win in the worst way. it was crazy in colorado. large out-of-state corporations have set their sights on california. they've written prop 27, to allow online sports betting. they tell us it will fund programs for the homeless. but read prop 27's fine print. 90% of profits go to out-of-state corporations, leaving almost nothing for the homeless. no real jobs are created here. but the promise between our state and our sovereign tribes would be broken forever. these out-of-state corporations don't care about california. but we do. stand with us. californians have a choice between two initiatives on sports betting. prop 27 generates hundreds of millions every year to permanently fund getting people off the streets a prop 26? not a dime to solve homelessness prop 27 has strong protections to prevent minors from betting. prop 26? no protections for minors. prop 27 helps every tribe, including disadvantaged tribes. prop 26? nothing for disadvant

and so chris. i thought maybe we would begin there and talking about, you know, maybe some of you earlier background how you got interested in this whole free speech moving and how that will they keep the country free. i've been doing this for over 40 years now. and i got involved in the early 80s i was looking for a job after i left graduate school. and i found an ads on ad in the new york times when they used to have classified ads and it was for a coordinator for a first amendment trade association. i had no idea what that was. but it sounded like me, you know, that sounded like a great opportunity. i i was very interested in in the issue at one point. i thought i was going to be a reporter. um, but i grew up in the 60s and free speech, you know was a big again a big topic of conversation. as it was being repressed in the south during the civil rights movement as it was. being repressed again in the north during the anti-war movement. so i'm so i applied for that job and and i got it. just as th

but when they call him a target, chris, that means they are ready. they've crossed the sort of subjective threshold. they are ready to indict him for his own activities in december 2020 when he went down and gave the sort of greatest hits of fraud. he said your count is false. he talked about the suitcases, the machines, dead people voting, everything, and it was all malarkey. >> and then you've got this late-breaking development from former vice president mike pence who as we all know was in an extremely precarious situation during the insurrection. he may be ready to talk to the january 6th committee. what would be your first questions for him? >> well, what did trump say here, there, and over at this place? he will not answer them. even thinks answers there were very sort of tiptoey and he'll think about it. so i personally think it won't be that valuable an exchange, maybe a nugget or two. but he's already putting some arm's length requirements and conditions on. we'll see if it happens, and then we'll also see if it's anything at all useful. >>

but chris is gonna win this thing big. we will move on to the general election, he will face ron desantis. this will be the third time that charlie crist has run for governor of florida. once as an republican, he got elected in 2000, six served one term. he ended up running at the am democratic nominee for governor 2014 -- he lost narrowly to rick scott. the third time he'll run for governor again as a democrat in 2022, against ron desantis. that matchup is now. charlie crist wins the democratic primary, a couple of interesting house races i've known before. remember, the map was redrawn, here the congressional map in florida was redrawing away. it created a lot of opportunities for republican here. but two republican incumbents, we're keeping in a close eye. this race proved very close. they're surprisingly close, i should say. but then webster, the incumbent republican projected he is going to survive his primary in the 11th district of florida. but the very controversial laura bloomer, she embraces the label islamophobi
