defeats dewey, 64 years ago today.ou know the news. thank to the men and women who somehow get to work here every day. we don't talk about it because we around the news. but of this staff more than two-thirds were directly affected by the storm. some had water in their homes, some families road it out in the attic a top a door and some endured brutal three or four hour commutes and some left the kids behind and haven't seen them since. but they have all been here and i appreciate them

know who tom dewey was. we are separated today from ronald reagan as i was from tom dewey. there is so much about republicanism and conservative that is compelling and that is appealing to people of all kinds of ethnicities, men and women, sexual orientations of every variety. americans are entrepreneurial, workers, savers, and want the message, but don't want to be told that they belong to 47% that doesn't count. >> david, a real fight on your hands within the republican party. david frum, author of "why romney lost," crystal ball and steve kornacki, thank you for joining me. >>> coming up, the first battle that will be fought in the republican civil war will be over taxes and some republicans are already sounding like liberal democrats on that one. carolyn finney and jonathan capehart will join me. sex, lies, and e-mail brought down the director of the cia. tonight, the story is getting stranger by the hour. the newest twist involves the shirtless e-mails of one of the fbi investigatoinvestigators, a the h

louis, i was handed this paper which said "dewey defeats truman."urse, he wished he had but he didn't. and that's all there was to it. >> mccullough: authenticity. it worked-- authenticity. >> safer: as for the current seemingly endless campaign, mccullough gives both sides low marks. >> mccullough: the shame of it is, the shame of it is they're spending all this unconscionable amount of money. and what is it producing? a not-very-good show. >> safer: well, it's schoolyard squabbles. >> mccullough: imagine the quantity of words that are being produced, and you think there's anything that's going to stand the test of time in there? i haven't heard it yet. we should demand more of them. we should get to be like people who go to the theater all the time or go to the symphony all the time, and they know a punk performance when they see one and don't like it. that's the way we should be. >> safer: but if you think negative campaigning has hit a new low, mccullough would remind you of the presidential election of 1800, when thomas jefferson beat john adam

i will submit a document that our lawyers, dewey fleshman, who has challenged similar circumstances with park merced and given the fact that you have experience with these violations it should not reoccur. >> i would like to remind all members of public the matter before the commission right now is the continuance of the items proposed, not the matter of the item itself, but just the continuance. >> eric brooks representing san francisco green party and the local grass-roots organization "our city". just a shout out in the room not familiar with planning department's process. this is the opportunity to speak on item 11 and i speak to the fact they am very glad to see for whatever reason you're continuing this, and the reason being that this legislation in a similar form was introduced in 2006 and struck down through public process, 2010 similarly rejected, and now in 2012, and in each case the outreach that the sponsor of the legislation has done to environmental groups, neighborhood groups, historic preservation, social justice, environmental justice folks, all the folks that have the m

this is that new bridge up to -- up from dewey beach. looks like impassable road. no question they are working on it with bulldozers. out at w isp, you were talking about this. this is what w isp looks like early in the season with a nice 30-inch base pack. then of course we have what appears to be a new inlet cut so we are talking about that could happen and happened in new jersey too. beach erosion. temperatures in the low 40s to upper 50s. cool winds owl of the west and they will continue to pull in the cool, chilly situation. here is a look at precipitation map. very little. just enough to irritate you. the spritzes of rain. the hit and miss light drizzle. maybe some into early tomorrow and the cold air is just going to keep on funneling in behind that system as we go into the next couple days and into the weekend. no big warm up on tap again, just kind of cloudy, chilly, sandy still well north of us. we will continue to wrap in the lily air. big rotation, actually even as we work into saturday that is not going to change much. we will see the chill around and

joining me now is the mayor of tulsa, oklahoma, mayor dewey bartlett. what is tulsa doing to get ready for small business saturday? >> what we're doing is having a lot of local promotions, from our claim ber as well as from our city government. what we are trying to do is very specifically. in our downtown area, we are opening up buildings that have specialized shops inside the building in larger areas where they have an opportunity, because of one bit of advertising that brings people in the door. they can see a variety of shops in one building. it's sort of like having a mall in the downtown area. >> mayor, for a lot of people that want to support small business but they want to do one-stop shopping at a big box store, it is a little bit cheaper at a big box store. as the mayor of a city, why is it so important that people support small business? >> well, for our city, we really live and die off of sales tax revenue. that's for about 80% of our revenue comes from sales tax receipts. small business is the life blood of a community. there is so much of

the budget of the country how it's being manipulated with in the favor of the ruling family and dewey we put them in standing question this fist on the history of bahrain a position wanted to question the ruling family ministers so it's build it up in each other and the same time when the uprising started in fourteen february we founded that more killing is started by the government and. our position was to be with the. people when they demanded peacefully the seriously we fall and no positive answer came from the government we resigned and they found it it is. full of the position from the opposition against the ruling family mainly so they want to give. this of the protests and go on for nearly two years now this recent balance in stopping them or why the authorities while the authorities still are willing to listen to your demands. i think they are not trendy yet because if they start to that they definitely. begin to be in a position to get rid of some credibility they have served in. over all of our country they they are ruling the. three bodies exhibited by the legislation body

the answer to question was tom dewey in 1948. we 6 not nominated people that click with us. i love george bush he is a good friend of mine. a guy from midland, texas didn't click with eastern pennsylvania. you can't win unless you hold your margins down in that area of the country. we just never had candidates that did. that mitt romney is doing that. one of the reasons he is going to southeastern pennsylvania this weekend is because he is actually doing a good job in holding down the vote in suburban philadelphia which has been going against us the last 15-20 years. i think he will do very well in the central part of the state. energy is big issue there. that is another thing that huge advantage for mitt romney in this race among democrats and northeastern part of the state. they will be voting for mitt romney because barack obama is going to take away their jobs if he gets this thing going to hydraulic fracking. >> neil: if mitt romney were to pick up pennsylvania, it would take some of the importance off of winning ohio and redo the math. >> two more electoral votes. >> n

. >> that is a long way from the dewey decimal system. here is a look at what is coming up. i just did it myself. >> i am kai reed, live with a story, next. >> and walmart employee is shot, and the suspect is still on bill lewis. i am kim dacey, live with the breaking details. >> i am sally kidd in washington. the president weighs in on a scandal engulfing two top generals. >> you are watching wbal tv 11. live, local, latebreaking. this is 11 news at 6:00 p.m.. >> good evening, everyone. our big story tonight at 6:00, two young men dead, their mother wounded, in a shooting. >> 11 news reporter kai reed joins us live outside police headquarters. what do they know about this case so far? >> right now, they are looking for a group of suspects in this case, and they believe the victims, two brothers and their mother, were targeted in this case. and deputies responded to a call of shots fired last month, and they found all three victims

a curious cat in dewey, maryland, came close to losing one of her nine lives after spending days on topf a utility pole. the cat named fierce disappeared on wednesday. yesterday they spotted her on top of the bge utility pole. that's when the cat's owner linda drew called firefighters to contact the power company to be safe. crews showed up last night with a cherry picker. trouble is that scared fierce that took off down the pole and into the bushes. drew said she's relieved the cat is down. >> i'm just glad she's down from there. i was pretty sick about her being missing. >> drew says she believes fierce will return home sometime today. >> 15 before the hour. lawyers for the bethesda man imprisoned in cuba have contacted an anti-torture expert for the u.n. for help. alan gross has spent nearly three years in a cuban jail. in that time, he's lost more than 100 pounds and has developed other medical conditions. in a letter made public yesterday, a lawyer for gross says, if he continues to be denied proper medical care, his treatment will, quote, surely amount to torture. earlier this yea

i kind of saw him as a latter day tom dewey, who looked like he had a lot going for him.the end of the day harry truman had the common man, had the common touch, and i think barack obama was closer to the center of american political thinking than the republicans. >> and that goes along with some of the polling that we've seen where mitt romney and president obama were about even and sometimes mitt romney led when you asked who has the best plan for the economy, but when you said who best understands people like you, president obama was always sort of, you know, outran, outpaced mitt romney for that. the question is when you look four years from now, when you don't have a president obama on the ticket, is this a certain coalition for democrats? >> i think so. if you look at the majorities of hispanic voters, african-american voters, asian voters, younger voters, the future is with a politics that has government more responsive to the average person and not buying this doctrineaire politics of the market over all. uber all. it's an ideology that may play well in the pages

she was talking about how when fdr beat dewey he immediately turned to his aide and said i still thinks an s.o.b. when nixon's wife died he complained that bill clinton, quote, came to me for advice to save his bottom and couldn't even send a cabinet member to pat's funeral. these are relationships forged around rivalries. i think it's impossible to expect, especially these two, to move forward and have a lunch. it's weird. >> yeah. they seem to really actually have total contempt and disdain for one another. which is different than, you know, i think the president did have a certain level of respect for mccain. i will say your intro, jonathan, about costco, i was thinking i love the joe biden image at costco. if the two guys, mitt romney and the president, were like wandering through costco together, getting samples, that would be a beautiful image. >> that's not weird, but sitting down at lunch is weird? >> one thing i feel like they might actually have in common, i feel like they both might like costco. we'll have to speculate on that. the thing is for me, not only is there no subst

president roosevelt defeated the new york governor thomas dewey to win an unprecedented fourth term in world war ii. just a few months after d-day. fdr did not get a free ride. republicans challenged him on the new deal. campaigning for smaller government. and less regulation. but voters chose roosevelt who led the nation through two of its greatest crises the war and the greats depression. three months after his inauguration, president roosevelt died and in 1947, congress passed the 22nd amendment which prohibits any commander and chief from serving more than two years. or i should say two terms.

back in but when he went to campaign he campaigned as much against hoover as he did against thomas dewey and made a lot of references to the depression. hoover was somewhat hurt by that and he said that was just politics you shouldn't have paid any attention to it at all. there are different ways of looking at these people from the perspective of the individuals at the time. certainly in 1928, almost no american would have predicted that herbert hoover would have been the president. he was the great engineer and humanitarian. he was the family doctor. you called a case of national emergency when the great flood hit the mississippi river in 1927 it was hoover who was in charge of the release of the flood. he succeeded in pretty much everything he did except for the presidency of the united states. he didn't quite have the temperament for the job. one of the very few people to recognize this in 1928 at the time that hoover was elected was an old friend of his from their days together in the woodrow wilson administration and that was franklin d. roosevelt. herbert hoover and franklin roosev

people like john dewey, people like herbert crowley, woodrow wilson, all of these people were explicitly attacking the principles of the founding. and they were arguing, 'we've got to get beyond that. we've got to get beyond the declaration.' now that's a--that is a--that's a rejection. that's a confrontation with the founding and a rejection of it. and that is what has led into the policy revolution of the '60s. c-span: what about alexander hamilton and thomas jefferson? if they were sitting here today and we're having these discussions, would they differ on anything? >> guest: obviously, they differed. but i--one of the--i think one of the most misleading characterizations of the founders is to focus on their differences. there were tremendous battles that took place during the founding area, jefferson vs. hamilton and so on. but those battles were over questions of how to implement a government that will protect the rights of man. everybody agreed on what the purpose of government was: securing human rights, securing property rights. the disagreement was: what should the role of gover

dewey defeats truman. >> let's get on to street talk.he stock stories you need to know about. first up, it's not really a stock. it is an etf but nonetheless it is something that we need to watch today. up by 7%. >> the reason i threw it in here is because there is a lot of interest around this name. direxion. this etf heavily weighted to tech, 22% of this is tech. financials at 14%. basically you buy this, are you betting things are going to go down in small caps. be careful, folks. as herb greenberg's warned you about many times, these ultra levered things, can you make money short term but you can also lose money quickly. that thing is still down 38% year to date. >>> a lot of things are getting smacked by a 27% sell-off i think is really getting smacked. >> getting hit in the solar -- >> plexus. >> bing. it sees sales to juniper selling off. juniper told plexus and the ceo saying i thought we had a good veelgsshi relationship. we usually bash analysts, deutsche bank downgraded the stock a few weeks ago. looks like a pretty doggone go

john dewey always said, a problem well-stated is a problem half-solved.e, we must agree that the jobs crisis is one of the core policy choices of the era we are live willing in and perhaps for some time. that's number one. number two goes back to the segment we just did on romney. what does the romney era look like? there, i have to echo neera. what is your solution to the problem? you just played the five points. they do not deal with domestic spending in a way that most economists think will jump-start jobs. republicans have some economists and studies on their side. there are studies out that show what the republicans have managed to do with the power they are wielding has actually raised unemployment by a full point. that's many, many jobs because of the crackdown on all these state governments. >> let's look at exactly that. this is just point about what government does, can, in fact, make a difference in our economy. when you look at these public versus private sector jobs, to the extent that this has been modest growth, it is mostly modest. we are

. >> in 1944, he called dewey who he beat, an s.o.b.r: richard nixon met hubert humphrey after beating him in 1968 and offered him the job of u.n. ambassador, which he declined. bill clinton dropped in to see george h.w. bush after winning the 1992 election, and you would have thought that they had always been the best of friends. >> very, very friendly and very helpful. >> reporter: one topic that never came up in today's meeting, the campaign. no wonder they had such a good time. but things don't always go that well. george w. bush's meeting with al gore in 2000 was notable only for its brevity. >> i think in general, they're very awkward, but that photo op tells the world, really, that america's back, operating as one united country. >> reporter: now, the white house won't say whether the president will ask romney's help on any particular issue, as he suggested he might on election night. and we won't know anything about the meeting except what they tell us, because the two men will be having lunch alone and there won't be a chance t

it was something that dwight eisenhower talked about, it was something that thomas dewey talked about. that's not something that's going to go away, nor should it go away. but i do think a couple of things. one is that when you're talking about caring about people like you, you first have to listen. that's what i was saying to our friend from pakistan. some of the things republicans can do to address that question don't involve the size of government. in terms of a monetary sense. secondly, i'd like to -- two things ronald reagan said in his speeches. i mean, he gave his famous speech for barry goldwater. ronald reagan endorsed an expansion of, in that speech, of health insurance for senior citizens. what he said was that he favored a smaller plan who helped people who were poorer off rather than favoring a one size fits all program. that's ronald reagan endorsing barry goldwater in 1964. what he said at the end of the speech was he didn't believe in such a thing as left or right, there was up or down. all too often conservatives have fallen into the left versus right rhetoric which,

it was a biographical commercial made for thomas dewey. this ran in thousands of theaters around the country. this is a time when the attendance of movies every week was about 40 million people. that was the way to reach voters in 1948. the truman campaign complained about this film being shown. so they got equal time and put together a commercial. about a nine minute film called the truman story. you can look at the film online, but it's a very effective biographical advertisement. beautifully done, much better than the dooley story. scholars who feel it was this film playing in the movie theaters in 1948 what might have played a important role in determining the outcome. the outcome of that election. i will not play the whole thing, but this was the last year or television became the mass media of choice in this country. in 1952 there were about 20 million households in the united states that had television. so what it was a way to reach a lot of people. .. on tuesday nights at 10:30, turn on the tv and stevens have a jury speech. usuall

it is over dewey and extremely urgent to try to find a way that will end the killing and syria not only because of israel and other countries in the region but because it sets a - example to other bad guys in the region and elsewhere who will be encouraged that they can get away with these types of behavior if we don't act so this is a huge challenge we have to face even is not a military solution, it is a smart diplomacy. >> we have to wrap up pretty soon but let me take two more comments from here and there. yes. >> thank you very much. my name is luis. i'm afraid i'm standing in for life defense secretary. i just want to make a point after having had a long period of being a diplomatic practitioner particularly in my part of the world in the china, asia, jakarta, they have some good news which i would like to throw in. there are sufficiently growing to the press at the end of foreign aid and similarly indonesia which has to entered 40 million peaceful people. india is no longer in need of development assistance in burma has come out of its own jurassic park quite recently - this is t

. >> ifill: and that truman tweet when he beat dewey. so there. >> woodruff: from now on american politics is completely changed. never going to be the same when you tweet. the first communication we hear from the president of the united states is on twitter. >> ifill: can you imagine this president and this after four years of having unsuccessfully found a way to work hand in hand with this republican-dominated house and sometimes recalcitrant democratic senate, can you imagine that things are going to change? the president took the saying in the last several weeks i know we'll just take the air out of the bubble and we'll all get along. >> they were elected too. they were elected on platform. their platform was very clear. we will not raise taxes. they've got to do what they were elected to do. the white house will be tempted to push it to the cliff. this is going to be a scary economic time for the next... they may just delay the final thing. but i've always thought there's a good 30 or 40% chance we go over the cliff and face the con
