david: david, let me ask about one of those things. real estate we have been talking to a lot of people in the real estate, hovnanian we had last week, he said real estate looks like it has turned a corner at least in his eyes, he's not wildly optimistic, he's been pessimistic in the past, is now the time to catch on to the real estate market just as it's beginning to gain strength and which reit is of particular interest to you, david? >> yeah, well, real estate investment trusts, owning commercial reits, office complexes, apartments, those reits have been doing quite well -- quite well and continue to do quite well this year. as far as residential housing, we think we have been bouncing along the bottom for so long. it is one area of the economy that is still lagging and in some areas of the country, we are starting to see that bounce up. you know, we're seeing home prices come up a little bit. we have seen some encouraging economic data, and with housing improving, even modestly, that can add 1 to 1 1/2 percent to gdp. david: let me

david. david: one of the few people that actually has economic players. he has put one forward, got a lot of heat last night laid out the plans, but this guy really has to lay out a key economic strategy for the futures. get the economy growing, his key economic advisors. what we may be hearing from tonight. liz: we look forward to that. on the floor of the cme group in chicago. here we are, the market finishing down triple digits, 106 points for the day. at 13,000 finishing up. what is your read on the market right now? >> triple digits does not mean as much now that the market recovered. multi-year highs post crisis highs. 13,000 come to talk about that 18 consecutive sessions above 13,000. that is three full weeks of trading. if you look at the s&p, three full weeks of trading above 1400, but a pullback is warranted in this pullback certainly not catastrophic, 1%. so we have big news, you know things have gotten a lot more stable. david: i'm wondering about a pullback in gold. we were hearing more rumors, but we have been hearing them all week qe3 is n

david: money or obsession.ave to ask you about the tragic death, suicide of top gun director tony scott. do we know what more might have led with to is suicide no. i did a movie, the fan, with him. david: he was a great director and producer. >> multifaceted. very well-liked in the community. that is so odd, that kind of suicide, just to talk about is difficult. how do you jump off a bridge? make as state in itself. the guy was a pretty stable guy all time i had him. he didn't have reputation as being on drugs or anything like that. so, it is pretty odd. and you know, nobody seems to he no the answer to it. not his family. not his friends. nobody seems to know why. liz: peter, thank you for your perspectives. david: peter gruber, have a great weekend. thanks so much. first of its kind wedding ceremony. we'll take you "off the desk" with details. liz: plus two major events to watch next week. we'll tell you what they are next.

[ screaming ] >> of course, david junior doesn't remember much about his dentist visit. >> i remember my dad and this other lady carrying me out. i could barely see. my eyes were barely open. i was like dizzy. >> whether david loves the video or wishes he would go away, it's one he won't live down. >> is this going to be forever? >> on youtube, you bet it will. >> i think this video is like this generations, you know, naked baby pictures. >> why is this happening to me? >> but i don't think he'll be embarrassed by this one. i don't think he will. i think he'll enjoy it for a long time. >>> halfway around the world two more kids hold the title for one of the most watched viral videos of all times. >> charlie bit me. >

guys report back great to be back all right david margan you are of course the silver guru but before we get to silver i want to talk bonds only made a bold call is it time to short bonds david morgan are you the guy to make the right call many have come before you and been wrong are you well baxter told me a lot. i've made a couple calls i said recently and actually over the years that the policy more money made shorting the bonds in the u.s. bond market could possibly do there so much leverage available through the e.t.f. the double e.t.f. options and of course the futures market and i've actually taken a stab at it a couple times not very confidently in the two cases that i recall i used options myself and actually these bonds just kept treadmill log so. is it the right time or not i don't really know as certainly near the top how long this can be prolonged with these this almost zero interest rate policy obviously the bonds had a great run for thirty years and by my digressed maxim i talk about what's happened over the last three decades in the bond market you like to visit well l

director of the global development and environment institute at tufts university in chicago we have david moberg he is a senior editor at in these times and in washington we cross ronald bailey he is an award winning science correspondent for reason magazine and reason dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rolls in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want a david if i go to you first in chicago we had a food crisis price crisis in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight is it deja vu all over again did we learn anything from the last crisis. well some people may have learned something i think the crisis has not really ever completely ended from that time is building up once again. but they're basically lessons still need to be learned and one of them is that climate change is rapidly much more rapidly than anyone thought changing the whole circumstances for global food production ok tim if you want to jump in there what one lesson ok what lessons were learned more learned came. well we did a report earlier this year that looked exactly at that question and i think our conc

coming up the kaiser report will tell you what consumption camps are then to the big name in silver david morgan joins manx and stacy. biomass kaiser this is the kaiser report for you and we have a new word for you to think about consumption transient camp that's right force consumption but in a gulag it's a server tells more it's kind of a gulag casino state and you can see from our first headline here q e could fund a twenty billion pound tax giveaway q.e. of course is quantitative easing and the government in the u.k. they say could fund a twenty billion pound tax giveaway to boost growth next year by releasing the profits made by the bank of england's money printing program a leading economist has suggested the economist max michael saunders u.k. economist at citibank he said the government could use the accumulated profits from quantitative easing to finance a special temporary tax cut for a year or two according to official figures the potential profit by february twenty thirty nine from q.e. to the bank is twenty point seven billion pounds more than enough to knock two point five p

dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rosen i think that means you can jump in anytime you want a david if i go to you first in chicago we had a food crisis price crisis in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight is that deja vu all over again did we learn anything from the last crisis. well some people may have learned something think the crisis has not really ever completely ended from the time it is building up once again. but there are basically lessons still need to be learned and one of them is climate change is rapidly much more rapidly than anyone thought changing the whole circumstances for global food production. ok tim if you want to jump in there will one listen ok what lessons were learned learned tim well we did a report earlier this year that looked exactly at that question and i think our conclusion was that an alarming number of things haven't been learned or if they've been learned they haven't been acted on the main precipitating causes of the food crisis and the food crisis that we're talking about now isn't just. what another price spike after two thousand and

tens of billions of pounds this laundering government possibility will continue on unchecked because david cameron is the weakest prime minister since lord studi plus the bank the paper says is sitting on q.e. profits because it bought gilt with the money it has effectively printed the guild's pay interest which is collected from the government it's all debt it's more debt purchasing power is collapsing the british pound is collapsing and again david cameron is so still such a such a moron i mean those thing i wish you could spin it he just has absolutely no it doesn't a basic math skills well nobody in government does the central bank doesn't either because here they are pushing this propaganda i think in order to get you to agree to another round because then they go on to say the real potential profit is even larger as the q.e. program has been extended by fifty billion pounds to three hundred seventy five billion since the official figures were compiled so they're saying the more we print the more profit we make to give back to you fred this is a total you know ponzi scheme scam same t

well, david carr waited them out.ere was a lot of twitching going on over on the bears side. >> false start. number 8 of the offense, a 5-yard penalty, first down. that is the second time tonight that a giants quarterback has been called for a false start. they got eli manning in the first half, and i don't think you need me to explain tom coughlin's feelings. >> that went along perfectly with the smile that broke on lovie smith. >> oh, now, huh-uh, no. that's not, that is not flagrant enough of a move by quarterback to generate a false start. that's complete, and he walks, and covered it again inside the 40-yard line. >> he threw a rocket. >> he is yes, he did. three receivers to that side again. a highly motivated dan depalma gets after the ball. but that was a beautiful strike by david carr, right on the hands. right in stride. let's go back to that call against the giants and david carr. he screams it out. hmm. you know, he flexed his hands, but the quarterback is aloud some leeway. now if eli the first time did a

david? >> mark potter in port-au-prince tonight thanks very much. >>> coming up in just a few minutes a look back at the monster hurricane that changed everything 20 years ago tonight. >>> to politics now, and the campaign trail, mitt romney was in his boyhood home state of michigan and stirred up a controversy with a remark about birth certificates, the democrats called a low blow. here now, nbc's peter alexander. >> reporter: returning to his native state with his wife and running mate by his side, mitt romney proudly touted his michigan roots. >> what an opportunity for us to be back home. >> reporter: but then in a seemingly off-the-cuff moment, instantaneously revived a highly charged and long settled issue about the president's birth place. >> no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place we were born and raised. >> reporter: the obama campaign quickly cried foul insisting romney's decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should gi

david kerley tonight with that part of the story. david? >> reporter: good evening, david. he did come out swinging but first he welcomed paul ryan to the race. he called him the ideological leader of republican congress. >> i want to congratulate -- no, no, i want to the congratulate congressman ryan. i know him. i welcome him to the race. congressman ryan is a decent man. he is a family man. >> reporter: but mr. obama quickly attacked what he called the top down romney/ryan economic plan. >> they have tried this before. they have tried to sell us this trickle down fairy dust before and guess what? it did not work. >> reporter: in chicago today, the number of mr. obama's fund-raisers hit 200. but his first stop was campaign headquarters where they plan for the next political landscape. and democrats bombarded the airways. calling ryan radical, extreme, a right wing ideologue. he claims too make medicare and tax cuts to the rich the center of the campaign. the president already has. >> it is a trojan house. disguised as debt reduction plans is really an attempt to impose a

and that message will be pounded away, just like david said. as for republicans running away from the ryan budget, i think that mitt romney making this decision now, they're doubling down on it. and in terms of the messaging on this, i just read a report, working on confirming it, but heard rumors about it. michael steele, john boehner's press secretary is now most likely going to be working for paul ryan in the romney campaign. brendan but, another spokesperson will now be working for paul ryan. boehner's top press people will now be working for paul ryan as the vp. they are keen on messaging, hammering this home and try to deflect from the negative things coming out of medicare before. and they're pretty good at doing that. this is certainly the big leagues, if you will, chuck. >> for better or worse, depending on which side you're on, this is exactly what president obama wanted to have. he can say, i'm running against the house republicans. that's what they've been trying to do. they've been dying to tie mitt romney to house republicans, mit

david? >> david kerley live in washington tonight. david, thanks to you. >>> we're going to turn now to your voice, your vote. and something brand new in the presidential race tonight. for months, president obama and mitt romney have been locked in a dead heat. but this evening here, one candidate appears to have pulled ahead. let's go to the boards behind me. the three new major polls tonight. you can see, cnn, reuters, has the president ahead by seven, fox news has the president up by nine. what's behind the latest poll numbers? let's turn now to jon karl on the campaign trail tonight. jon, good evening. >> reporter: david, as romney prepares to make his biggest decision yet, several of the recent polls suggest he is now losing to president obama, and by a significant margin. the numbers suggest the relentlessly negative assault by the obama campaign has taken its toll. the latest salvo? an ad featuring the answer romney gave during an interview with our own david muir. >> was there ever any year when you paid lower than the 13.9%?

that message is going to be pounded away just like david said.as for republicans running away from the ryan budget, i think mitt romney making the decision now, they have doubled down on it. in terms of the messaging on this, i just read a report working on confirming it, but i heard rumors about it. michael steele, who is john boehner's press secretary, one of the best mess an men on capitol hill, is most likely going to be working for paul ryan in the campaign. brendan buc will be working for paul ryan. boehner's top press people are now going to be working for paul ryan as the vp nominee. they are keen on messaging. they are going to hammer this home and try to deflect to the negative things that come out of medicare before. and they are pretty good at doing that, so if this is certainly a big lead, if you will, chuck. >> david, for better for worse, as far as some look at it depending on which side you're on, you know, this is exactly what president obama wanted to have. he now can say, hey, i'm running against the house republicans. and that

i've been working on these brain memory exercises, david. i have a long way to go before i enter olympic games. >> all right. cecilia vega, making us feel better about why we don't look like olympic athletes. >>> when we come back, what lying apparently does to your health. people we rely on in the morning can rely on dulcolax laxative tablets overnight. they give you predictable overnight relief to help get you feeling like yourself again in the morning. dulcolax laxative tablets. keep you moving. ♪ feeling free. ♪ i took my son fishing every year. we had a great spot, not easy to find, but worth it. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function starting within five minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today i'm breathing better. and that means...fish on! symbicort is for copd including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort ma

david the faa said it fixed the headset problem. the most kreent incident but is investigating how it happened. >> john schriffen, thanks to you. >>> and turning to fighting in the capital of syria. fighting returned to the capital two weeks after the opposition thought they crushed the opposition in damascus. the rebels also building on their gains in aleppo and another sign of assad's loosening grip, he's now asking russia for financial aid and supplies. >>> back into this country and for the race for the president here. last night we reported on the new juniors numbers. tonight how both sides trying to argue the split decision of the numbers as we ask david kerley for state of play, where this race stands right now in the key battleground. it's "your voice, your vote" here's david's report. >> thank you. >> reporter: mitt romney calls the jobs number a hammer blow to the economy. >> 23 million americans out of work or underemployed. >> reporter: to make the bad news thin. he picked just one part of the report, the umployment rate

let's go to david gregory. we've been talking about this before.ou've been saying big election, obviously the romney campaign wanted to send a message. governor romney said to me yesterday in that interview that we were doing when i was asking when he was going to have a vp. he clearly seemed to define paul ryan, that's what all of us gleaned out of it. >> and the fact that this is going to be a big campaign about a debate about big things. you wouldn't know that over the past couple of weeks with some of what's been going on and the charges back and forth and what they've been focused on. but the reality is, there are huge issues, in a down economy, what role should government be playing, and now particularly when the government is not only dysfunctional, but running a huge deficit. paul ryan speaks to a vision for what government should and should not be doing, particularly in a party that's ever more conservative about questions of fiscal rektitude and the debt and that's the party that mitt romney is now running that he's now the nominee for. s

>> i did ask david axelrod about that., you know, to see what he says, i said what will it say about him. >> and he says it will say whether he wants to double down on the return to policies of the past and, basically you are saying if he chooses someone who agrees with his policies it will show how bad a candidate he is an he said exactly. >> kelly: i'm going to get a front row seat to watch? >> real quickly, in addition to david axelrod, it is a combative interview and people will be interested and entertained by it. we also have an exclusive interview with ted cruise, if you are like me, you heard a lot about him but you haven't seen him, he's the tea party favorite who just won a big upset victory in texas in the republican primary there, our exclusive guest on set. and you'll get to see why people are so excited about him. >> kelly: all right, chris, excited about what you are doing as well, for more of his interview with david axelrod and ted cruise, tune into fox news sunday and he'll also speak exclusively as i sai

we also had david brower. i feel like david brower could change the world in many ways. and he also changed people, including myself. that is one of the things i'm grateful about, because i was in the advertising business when i met david. i met him become because he came to talk to us about doing advertising. i had never met him before that. but i have this famous advertising and is that there is a guy named david brower who wants to talk about saving the grand canyon. and so we met with dave, indeed did not really take us for our talents. it turned out. he picked us because he liked the typeface that we use in our advertisements. we had a very old-fashioned style of advertising and we believed that you could really change people more by getting them to think in a logical miss about their purchase. he really loved that. he said we don't have to bother to write the ads either because he would write the ads. [laughter] .. you could run one ad on one hit of the paper and the next ad on the other heads so each it -- head of the paper got the other and so it's a complete equ

in berkeley knows david brower. there's cameras on us, there may be people who don't know who david brower is, and maybe we ought to explain why we're doing this book and what david brower did and what it means. >> david brower was my father. [laughter] he was the first executive director of the sierra club. in 1952 he became the second full-time employee of the sierra club. it's one of the things that kind of knocked me back in doing the research. i hadn't quite thought about that. considering how big the sierra club is now. that it was the only full-time staffer before he came on in 1952 was virginia ferguson, his secretary. so his joining up as staff doubled the staff. there was still only two. and one of the lessons for me is how young this environmental movement is. it hasn't been around that long. and, um, and it's grown very fast. my father's, one of the things that this enforced in him was to do a lot of things. there was nobody helping to do any work for the sierra club then except volunteer board members.

here's the problem, david. if we don't get serious about these issues, if we don't get serious about the drivers of your debt, we're going to have a debt crisis. and the irony of this is all, if we don't fix these programs, people who rely on these benefits are going to get cut the first. they're going to be hurt the worst under a debt crisis. we're saying, if we fix this now, we can keep the current promise to current seniors and people ten years away from retirement. >> so what he's now saying on the campaign trail with mitt romney is that president obama will scare seniors about what they want to do about medicare, here is now a duo finally saying, let's solve the problem before change is forced upon the people who need these programs most. >> yeah, well, let's be clear. the president already has taken steps that added eight years to the life of medicare, and his budget would add several more. he's made some important choices that are going to help that program moving forward. >> eight years is not a real fi

and the very very ugly david g. g. is the sheriff of hillsborough county florida where tampa bay is located in order to prepare for the republican national convention next week he has ordered that entire prison. jail be emptied and the prisoners relocated or bonded out so that the prison can accommodate those arrested for protesting during the r. and c. and g. posted a letter on the county website saying that he and his department they have very little tolerance for protesters who show up calling them agitators and anarchists who want to break out and bring a dark cloud to this about so they want to see the perfect example of how america is turning into a police state just take a look at tampa bay sure of geas preemptively cleared out an entire prison so that he can arrest hundreds of people who are just exercising their right to free speech and that is really very acutely. here's another story you should be keeping your eye on venture capitalists are looking to take over a humanity's most precious resource water accor
