let's just do this now and pivot to the cliche jar. it's a slippery slope, what we're doing right now. >> you want to rile up the base. >> we don't want to throw anyone under the bus. stop saber rattling, krystal! >> this is a win-win for the audience. >> i'm going to double down on my position, however, that at the end of the day, it does not belong no our collie jliche jar. >> that was my number one response, by far, in my twitter -- >> that's a cliche. >> but within us, the thing i think we hate the most, nascar dad/soccer mom, those really trite ways of trying to encapsulate the audience, the voters. we don't like that. >> but i don't think that we found one that's going to be -- i'm writing down "at the end of the day." and our twitter friends continue to tweet us ideas a at @thecyclemsnbc of things you do not want to hear us say. >> we'll winnow this down and next week we'll have a start-up list. >> but we'll continue to add to them. >> completely. >>> next, we've seen the numbers. >> we have no money to retire on. so we just hav

i mean, records dshl you heard the cliche. records are made to be broken. and why should my records be exclusive that you can't break my records? and it was just a matter of time that somebody would come along -- listen. i inspired somebody not even born to try to achieve a goal for himself, primarily, which is michael's goal. not mark spitz's goal to do the best he could. and in the process, my record got broken. why wouldn't i be proud? my accolade to the sport was the fact that he was able to do that. >> when i interviewed him, he's physically impressive. he had an aura about him of invincibility.

it's all in cliches. he embodied all of the cliches. he could be anything. he would put marbles in his mouth. but to be able to anunsuate, he wanted to be american. that's what he wanted. he wanted to be an american and be a patriot. always wore a little flag on his lapel. here he was. he was groomed for this. for this task. >> thank you. tell us about the decision to put cameras? >> well, he always said to me that i wound up having to -- i never met a press person in my life until i got to the office. never. i had no contact with pressmen. and every day, out in front of the office would be 25 or 30 pressmen every day. it was everybody. it was just sort of constant. but, i must say the quality of the press men were extraordinary. some of the great reporters of our time covered this story. and he always said to me, that was sort of left to me that all the press contacts, press conversation, once in a while you would get a conversation with the chairman and john doehr. and all the pressmen would make fun of him because they had no information. but we'd do it e

it has now become a cliche, to say that we cannot rest on our way out of this problem. i no longer want to hear those words. this is not to give the law- enforcement a short shrift. i have had an impact on my husband's life, some of the unwanted. but he has had an impact on mind. i have done extensive work with law enforcement, with the lapd and the los angeles county sheriff's. i am here to tell you that crime has been driven down in los angeles because of their efforts, but not only because of their efforts. so what does the collaboration look like. i want you to keep some ideas in mind. there is no first among equals. what we learned in los angeles was that oppression alone was not the answer. it did not work. there were record highs in gang violence in 2005. i want to tell you what has happened between 2005 and 2012. number one, the grass roots -- the disorganize, fragmented, passionate grass roots must be part of this. the community members who go to county supervisors meetings, the members who pass out fliers, the youths who have been in the juvenile justice syste

(laughter) it's a bit of a cliche, you know what i mean? people in the post-vaudevilleian era don't actually throw tomatoes. unless you're throwing them at bugs bunny. if you insist on throwing food, why not bring a bit of your own culture fare. look at the greeks. when they're upset they throw... (laughter) when they're upset they throw buckets of their country's signature bacterially fermented milk, yogurt. it's protest statement and an expression of national pride. you could throw your shawarma. your a teeny. your baba ghanoush. really any of the foods that came up when we searched egyptian cuisine. on wikipedia. (laughter) look, egypt. insulting high-ranking u.s. officials isn't going to get them to change their policy. there's only one thing america's powerful leaders respond to. >> the obamas caught on kisscam during the basketball game versus brazil. michelle obama looked shocked and she smiled and waved. the disappointed crowd booed. they got a second chance when the kisscam found them again so this time he delivered.

if either of us, any of us say this, we have to throw a dollar into the cliche jar. >> we want to ben clearer ways. >> steve's going to demonstrate. >> guys, i can't believe they doubled down on fast and furious. it's a total game-changer. get your cash and put it in the jar. >> we're open to suggestions. >> yeah. we want twitter followers tweet us some phrases that you guys hate hearing. we'll consider them, come up with a long list and next week we'll have -- >> we'll keep adding to them as we go on. here at "the cycle", we have decided that the real campaign for december begins today. i think of it as the start of the baseball game. from now until the conventions we're considering that the first three innings. from the conventions and the month of dates in october are innings four, five, and six. that makes october with both the presidential and vp debates innings seven and eight. and the first week of november will be the ninth inning. as for us, we're going to take every thursday to assess the race, look at the campaign focus, the polls, and take a look at the week ahead. so on

but let's take it to the cliche jar. what are the cliches that drive you nuts the most? nothing matters until election day. no polls matter. the only poll that mattersç isn election say. if that's so, why did candidates spend so much money on pollingful that's the most ludicrous one of all. i would like to get one thing in, guys, and i'm not sure you're going to ask me about it. but i heard it in the run-up today. governors who are turning down the medicate money. >> right. >> it is unconscionable. they're using politics and their own ambition at the price of hurting people in their states. >> and, governor, let me ask you about that. how many governors do you expect to see across the country turning down the that funding? >> i think they turned it down. i don't think you'll see more than a handful. remember, for the first three years it's 100% federal plun. then 90% and 10% state money, but we're used to states getting medicate funds that are 55% federal, 45% state money. right now the state contribution of medicare, almost every state is above 407. so to get at a prog

as you know, it takes a spark for a fire and enclose it's cliched what smoky bear says has validity to it. thursday for rain. only you can prevent forest fires so we don't need any additional sparks out there. you just want to take it easy and if you have a campground fire make sure it's completely out before you leave it. >>> the good news now. temperatures are nice and comfortable and we have a great breeze coming off the pacific and feels so good out there right now. 79 in sunnyvale and 65 san jose. oakland and san francisco, draw your attention where we are barely in the low 60s in oakland and because of the full deck of low clouds situated and not burning off. we will tell you when you'll get clearing and triple digit heat forecast. as of next week and i'll tell you when i get to my seven-day forecast. >> cooling off the east coast and cranking it up for the west. >> thank you. >>> $8 billion decision coming tomorrow in sacramento. state lawmakers will take the first vote to fund the first phase of the state's high speed rail project. the total price tag is $68 billion. but the in

you know, it's the cliche. you know, italians are mob-connected. there was a lot of corruption out of newark. his roommate -- there was a lot of politicians who had a connection with a lot of crime. so the white house, immediately upon once the process began, started putting stories out that he was influenced or in some way connected to the crime families. we had to deal with this issue almost every day in the early days. the papers put major investigations on this. and i do believe it was the wall street journal that came forward with a story just ending this. there actually was a stap. there was a series of tapes. there was a tape that they uncovered, it must have been abf.b.i. tape or some tape that they uncovered that where he is braugt up in tape. and the clear -- the indication on the tape is he's not one of us. and that was it. there was a story in the wall street journt. but very, very intense from sort of summer starting with the fact that the president -- vice president agnew ranked through the fall into the binter. we had to deal with th

it would be a cliche to say it has been a journey. but i am not a poet, i am a bureaucrat, so i will say it has been a journey. we will take these next tips with you and our collaborators, many of whom are here today. i want to walk through the problem statement, what brought us here to confront these challenges, and then the funding and program goals. there is. it supervisosupervisor kim: do u have copies of the presentation? >> oh, i do, sorry. unfortunately, i have only three copies of the presentation. sorry about that. first, a summary of what i will talk about. first, the context and in need, what are we here today? then the process, the working group. the funding structure, how we will pay for affordable housing production and affordable home ownership programs. then describe the programmatic components. home ownership and housing stabilization. then assessed market and below market rate. and then we will summarize at the end. first, the context and the need. i want to look at what has happened with funding. talk about the affo

a glimmer of hope, light at the end of the tunnel not cliches, not an overstatement of the mood at this year's international aid conference. this morning it was opened by dr. anthony foucia of nih who said we are on scientifically solid ground when we say we can end the hiv aids pandemic. here's how we can do that. we now have nearly 30 anti- retroviral drugs. when taken in combination can extend people's lives for years, give them normal lives and suppress the virus to such low levels they are less likely to spread it. the big question is how do we get those drugs to all the people who need them? >> we're at a deciding moment in the trajectory of the epidemic in the united states and we have those tools. >> reporter: phil wilson says the affordable care act will have a major impact on people with hiv by lifting caps on lifetime medical spending and by making it impossible to deny health insurance because of a preexisting condition. also making news at this international conference, more access to free hiv testing than ever and new tools to help stop its spread. pat knolls has lived wit

and it is a bit of a cliche. how can i get two weeks' vacation?nes has barely increased with the rate of inflation. with mutual funds to attract the indices we not doing that well? >> the dollar cost per average is great it is up 100 percent in three years but if you're going to purchase low and get good prices. but you are correct the dow jones has not been sexy. however, as an investor you have to look at it as a 40 your blog performance. and if you are and a small cap you did find or bond you also did a fantastic. but if it is not as diversified. a diversified portfolio work better. >> thank rob black. we will speak to you at 9:15 taking a look at the weather with james. >> this afternoon should be great. this cloud coverage keeping us overcast. as we glance back towards the city that cloud coverage and it is causing problems as it has at s f o. as a reminder we still have the least. 73 minutes. here is a look at the dealer planner. mild temperatures. breaks of sunshine. these mid upper 50s it generally. with 50s in san francisco, oakland. a bi

>> clich esters two things if i may. first is that there is the dutch contribution. i'm not trying to disown that but it's somewhat more indirect than what we are used to thinking of. it's very significant that the dutch were here and they were doing what they were doing and that because they didn't force conformity, you could have people like some quakers and baptists and even choose would become important later on in new york history living here. they didn't chase them out or force them to cover. at the same time, they did not allow them to express their religion in any publicly visible way. and that's the other thing that i would like people to appreciate is just how the system worked and what was different from the english system and that half of the dutch retained control of this area we would have had some religious diversity but new amsterdam would probably have dewolf into something quite like amsterdam. instead, it would have been a much more calvinist reformed protestant part of the world that would have fit in much more of greater new england than the very

that as cliched as that sounds, that is in fact an element of what's contributing to these astonishing scandals. >> tom: you're speaking to an audience of shareholders out there and it's got to be heresy for them to hear shareholder value is not the ultimate rule here. so what are you trying to say to them? >> well, what i say to them is that the irony is that when you focus on the growth of the development of the people and you do it driven toward excellence, not focusing on the shareholder value, the irony is that the shareholder value increases, profits go up. >> tom: how else do you measure that if not ultimately at the end of the day, the quarter, the year? >> you do measure that. you don't throw that out. in fact, in this model or this way of thinking that becomes the measure not just of whether or not you're producing the results but whether or not you're effective in leading the people. so that becomes a measure, but it's not the end game. the end game is something larger than that. that becomes a buy product of the way in which the leader is working. does that make sense? >> t

and of course the cliche about watergate always was the cover-up was worse than the crime. it was the legal process really that brought watergate to the culmination that we all know. but also burt of the chief prosecutor. and as i said, the press coverage insulated him from any political pressures being exerted on his investigation. hugh sloan was one of those who worked for the committee to re-elect the president, who was telling the truth to the fbi and to prosecutors. he was also telling the same truth to woodward and bernstein insofar as he knew it. so -- and there were others like him. particularly a bookkeeper named judith hoback, who was interviewed by the fbi six times, all times away from lawyers for the rnc or the committee to re-elect. so she was telling the fbi the truth. and it was this testimony that allowed earl silbert in 1973 to win a verdict of not guilty against all five burglars and two men, e. howard hunt and gordon liddy. now james mccord facing a stiff sentence handed down by the judge was the furstenberg lar to crack. he wrote a letter to the judge s

monetary solution but ironically dimanche the solution is actually compounding problems and you know the cliche that we've used to say by kicking the can down the road but that that that is all they're doing and the compounding the issues and the piling death upon debt upon debt and that that is compounding on an annual basis that can never behaved back so and then they talk about bailouts and also what spain today and italy today and even greece is back on the radar again today and they're talking about more bailouts for spain a sovereign bailout but. the bottom line is they're not bailing out spain or the spanish people they're bailing out the spanish banks who have been loaned to responsibly by other european banks and which has created the risk of contagion so what needs to happen is in these three months of debt right then when these two should then allow these banks rather than burdening the taxpayers who are already mostly indebted and must be overburdened and it's hard to know how you know that this is austerity measures they will enforce the component problems but it's amazing how the
