when i looked up into the cliff, i saw stacks of rock behind a little spall of the cliff that had stuck out and i realized there was a granary up there. i immediately started for it, climbing hand over hand up the cliff base. my breath tasted hot with discovery. i had found a secret. in past travels i had seen many granaries belonging to the anastasi but they had all been broken open by pot hunters or even by the residents themselves. this one had been built so no one would see it, like an attic accessed through a hidden floor. the structure was rectangular, like a cupboard. i touched its face with probing, diagnostic fingers, measuring it my eyes. 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep. i got up on my haunches and lightly dusted off the granaries roof which was undamaged. for 3,000 years not a breeze had entered this chamber, not an inkling of light. what tightly woven baskets were here, what woven textiles, what stockpile of cobalt blue and honey-colored seed corn left many years before the boom of spanish rifles. with my fingers i traced through the dust of fallen rock debris on th

these are portions of the cliff rotates out to sea. >> when we look at this cliff, can you tell us what of the features that we can see? >> we are lucky to have a very fresh exposure. there is a large overhanging block. at the very edge, you can see the roots coming out. they are part of the problem. in addition, these are sandstone and shale. they have been uplifted and faulted and put into the position they are in today. on the cliff face, you can see the bedding of the shale. there are vertical cracks that filled the water and plans is growing. -- and plants are growing. the cumulative effect of the fresh cut with the debris sitting on the ledge, luckily we have a chance there to protect us from rocks going on the street. >> this is one type of rock salt and we will look at a few others. what will we see? >> i think it would be appropriate. we have been talking about rock salt. there is instability that occurs at telegraph hill. this was more in the earth flow and debris flow kind of movement. this moves downhill as a result of the rations from the earthquake. that is where we are he

i think we're facing a cliff for all three and if we don't act, that cliff goes into effect. >> correct. >> and the question is whether when we address the cliff we're going to leave a substantial part of the cliff. >> i'm not aware that the state benefits will expire. >> that what? >> the state unemployment -- >> no, but the cliff is -- >>

there are cliff dwellings that you find up in the alcoves. this is out on the navajo reservation in southern utah. this is part of a structure that's about, i'd say, 300 rooms running along the back side of this canyon, a little village, small city, something. artifacts everywhere. one of the walls had fallen out, revealing the floor that had been packed in there, hundreds of years of people using the same floor just pushing down the dirt so that there are pieces of woven -- of braided string sticking out of the floor everywhere and arrowheads and broken pottery and i realized when i came up against the stack of this trash pile i put my head against it and looked along it. i could see it was covered with hair. people in that room had been combing their hair for hundreds of years and it had been landing on the floor. and then new floors are built on top of that and new floors and i ran my hand across, just barely across, the front of this and i could feel the hair of people who had been there and i was there with a navajo guy that i know who j

cliff charlesworth was the lead flight director. and one of the responsibilities of the lead flight director is to identify which flight director is going to cover which phase of the mission. and moving in there, this was the first mission where in apollo now, where lonnie, charlesworth and myself, who had been flight directors on gemini were actually coming back together again. so you had probably the three most experienced people at the console. and it was a question of who was going to get to do what. and lonnie had been to the moon a couple times. charlesworth had launched saturns, and i had the lunar module experience. so you had no particular driver that says this person ought to be doing this phase of the mission. and i was division chief at that time and craft had been really on top of us to nail down who is going to do what. until finally, after the apollo 9 mission, we all managed to get together, and charlesworth as lead had to make the calls. and i called him and i said cliff, we've got to make a decision on which flight

so now is the time to act to eliminate the cliff issue. and then we can talk about how physicians are reimbursed within the structure similar to the other issues we have in medicare. and i think we can have a much more rational debate. i hope we can do that. i do want to comment briefly on the other health care extenders. because there are ten other health care extenders that are in play here. the house bill contained five. there were ten included in the senate, temporary extension. most i think we can probably work out. there is a few that needs a little bit more time. i just really want to mention one or two. the therapy cap. 1997 i was part of the ways and means committee at that time and opposed the therapy cap. it never was based upon health care policy. it was always there because it was supposed to fill in a dollar amount number that we needed in the balanced budget act. it doesn't make any sense. it hurts those who need the help the most. about 15% of those in medicare that receive rehab services will fall under the cap if we do no

people have made wings out of feathers and wood and jumped off buildings and cliffs in order to soarbird. and a lot of them have died trying. now, a small group of extreme sportsmen wearing specially-made wing suits have come about as close as you can get to flying outside the confines of an airplane, at least for a minute or two. some people call them "birdmen." we first learned about them on the internet. the pictures we saw were so spectacular, we decided a couple of years ago to assemble some of the sport's top athletes, and mount a small expedition with the latest high-definition cameras to one of the most beautiful places on earth to see what this is all about. >> tom eric heiman: three, two, one. one to base. >> kroft: there he goes. >> j.t. holmes: he's going to come around the corner. oh, he's high. nice. >> kroft: you can hear him already. >> holmes: yeah.

notes version and not that you would ever understand what cliff notes are from your personal education, but it is the cliff notes version of what is a comprehensive set of discussions internal to the military with the national security staff on what is our next negotiating strategy notably with russia. the status quo is always an option, and one that is in play, and at this point, sir, i would -- i'd encourage you not to become too concerned with the media reports of what is a comprehensive process. >> well, i do become very concerned, partly because it does nothing but encourage other countries to advance their nuclear program. if they see that we are kind of coming down from the 1,500 to some number in the low to middle 100s, it does nothing but encourage the enemies an discourage the friends and that encourages more weapons programs around the world and that is something that we don't want to have happen. so i am concerned if our mi military takes seriously any notion that we can, can even begin to have approaching production of that scale. i'm worried about where we are with the la

notes version, not that you would ever understand what cliff notes are from your personal education, but it's the cliff notes version of what is a very comprehensive set of discussions, internal to the military with the national security staff on what is our next negotiating strategy, notably with russia. and the status quo, by the way, is always an option and one that is in play. at this point, sir, i would encourage you not to become too concerned with the media reports of what is a very comprehensive process. >> well, i do become very concerned, partly because it does nothing but encourage other countries to advance their nuclear program. if they see that we are going to come down from 1,500 to some number in the low to middle hundred, it does nothing but encourage our enemies and discourage our friends. the result of that is more nuclear weapons programs all across the world, which would seem to me to be something that we would not want to have happen. so i get very concerned if our mi seriously any notion that wein to approach reductions on that scale. i'm worried about where we

a bicycle and you put some ants in there, and you just took the tire and you just dropped it off a cliff, what would the ants do? the ants would just free-fall, it wouldn't push against them anymore. all the supports gone and they would just all fall. and they would say, hey wow, someone cut out the gravity, honey. but if you take that wheel and you spin it, and then you drop it, the ants will all get thrown on the outside, isn't that true? and the ants will think, there is a force pulling them out, but no, it's a force holding them in the circle. if all of a sudden there is a little hole there, the ants keep going, but the ants pulled here. so the ants are pulled, pulled, pulled. people inside a space colony, these people right here, head, feet, okay. this thing is rotating like this. and these people are thrown against the outside rim. and these people think that there is a force pulling them out like this. they think that and if you've gotten one of those amusement-type devices, those great big centrifuges, did you ever get one of those, gang? you stand up against the wall like this,

we can pull ourselves away from a cliff. we don't have to balance our budget this year, but we do have to put our country on a course towards a balanced budget. we have to show ourselves and the world that we are committed, we are determined and we have a plan to move towards a balanced budget and begin to get our fiscal situation under control. we can do that over a ten-year period in a very rational, transitional way that did not cause hardship except for maybe some federal government employees that would need to seek other employment. and i detail in the book what we call freedom solutions. heritage helped develop a lot of those, what we can do with our tax code to get people more freedom and more prosperity, what we can do to open our own energy supplies not only creating jobs but the revenue to the federal and state governments to deal with our debt could be extraordinary. there are good ways to solve the social security and medicare problem. we don't have to cut and if it's to those who pay for it in their whole life a

the more than a bluff it's sort of like they are headed headed towards a cliff and they're convinced that before they get to the edge they're going to be able to build a bridge that they're not going to fall down it and iran is basically saying well guess what the cliff is the cliff is right now whether or not either side goes through with it is still a matter of question there's still a hope that there's going to be some form of negotiation that ratchets down this back and forth escalation but until we get to that point it's going to be an escalation where you have each side posturing potentially taking steps will be devastating for their own economies and national security interests but you know the danger with posturing of course is sometimes the rhetoric and sort of get away right and it could lead to concrete actions that could potentially be. the dangerous is there any sense that there is a serious push for war military intervention at least on on the side of israel and if so would the us inevitably get involved i mean there's been some sort of debate about that there's been a

you can see where the cliffs were. you can see the drop in employment, you can see the drop in the gdp. and i think as we went through this storm, and there's still some showers to come. i mean, there's no question about that. but we came through this storm, and i just want to compliment you for being a pretty good captain. one of many, but a pretty good captain in all of this. so. but i do have a few questions. and mr. pierce just brought up something for me. i'd like -- i don't know if you have your report in front of you, but charts 23 and 24, 23 is federal receipts and expenditures, 1991 through 2011. chart 24, change in real government expenditures on consumption investment, 2005 through '11. so when i look at 23, i see a continued reduction in revenue to the federal government and i see in part of those spikes, a huge spike in the fall of '08 and '09 as demand for federal services or services went up, gap being debt accumulated. would that be a fair statement? >> yes. >> okay. and then in 24, as opposed to saying

the low interest rates and what that produced was a massive bubble what drove the economy off the cliff so that it was in freefall as you put it when obama inherited it it was not an accident it was really a crime this was the banking financial community the big banks the hedge fund operators using their political power to remove the safety protections that were built during the new deal and kept banking boring. they took those apart they then managed to stop any new regulations and they had a wilding they went on a wild drive they turned the mortgage market into a casino they got higher and higher and made bigger and bigger bets until careening out of control they literally drove the economy off the cliff. and looks like they're fixin to do it again they're ginning it back up again it's pretty remarkable how they're clearly the two thousand and eight crisis didn't happen overnight there must have been some deep structural issues in our economy we have a chart here chart number two of wealth inequality shows the amount of wealth concentrated in just the top ten percent wealthiest americ
