dick? >> i am going eastbound through the tunnel and as soon as i pop out of this new freshly lit newly cleaned hot, bright tunnel, you will see the majestic spire and the beautifully lit cables at the center of the roadway the i can see you cruising over the bridge, a song in your heart, your foot on the accelerator. i better not go any further, eric, but i can say that you got to be careful with the speed. it is 50 miles per hour. c.h.p. is out in force this morning making sure folks don't speed, don't stop and take pictures. enjoy the ride. watch the speed. >> dick, thank you. >> a portion of the new bicycle and pedestrian path will open to the public at noon today and an organized bicycle ride on the new bicycle path is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. and now the bicycle path extends to the tower. it will connect to yerba buena island and it will extend over two miles when completed between oakland exit island. >> we will have much more open this historic morning on the new plan and how the fir

dick fuld has been the fall guy. not like he's poor or in prison or screwed over like tens of millions of americans have been. but he has kind of like weirdly fallen out of favor. but it's as if it was just the problem of dick fuld and lehman. >> that's the tragedy of dick fuld, that other wall street ceos that i spoke to don't look at him and think, geez, we've got to clean up our act so we don't wind up like dick. they think, that guy was a loser. >> right, that guy was a loser. >> he blew it and we're smarter. >> but no one has internalized the lessons of this crisis. the only people who have are the american people. >> the reason why dick fuld is a loser, he's the only one who wasn't bailed out. >> that's right! >> he was the wrong bank at the wrong time. >> that is exactly what dick fuld said. >> it's just not true. you know, a lot of those suckers would have gone down. but he's the -- >> that is such a great point. like, he's the loser, because he wasn't the one who got the welfare check from the government. he

theof these is kdr, tied to former american vice president dick cheney. in 1999, they obtained a contract to build in kosovo, one of the largest u.s. bases in the world. >> one of the questions i get asked a lot about the side, people ask me -- is this the largest military installation in europe? the answer is no. certainly, it is a good base to support the mission and the troops we have here. as you see, it is designed not to be permanent. should the time come for us to leave, we can back this up. pa packed this up. >> in macedonia, the u.s. is sponsoring the construction of pipeline. it was initially conceived by a macedonian architect in the u.s. and it is today pursued by his son. >> my father was a designer, builder, an architect of luxury contemporary space in connecticut and north america. i used to this question a lot. what do you know about this pipeline? his answer was, look at the complexity of the houses i have designed and built and then ask yourself, what is so difficult about digging a hole in the ground? and the answer of course is it is n

dick? >> it is a beautiful view, christian, particularly with the sun coming up, just very majestic. i am currently headed east from treasure island to the oakland toll plaza area and i am pleased to report that the traffic on the bridge deck itself eastbound and westbound into san francisco is moving at the speed little. obviously we have heavier commute track westbound but, how, it is still moving nicely but the exception is the toll plaza and the metering lights and sky 7 earlier showed you the backup and it is definitely a start to a good backup or heavy backup for the morning commute at the toll plaza. >> again, this is a picture above the toll plaza with a backup and folks going through the tolls and to the metering lights switched on >> from the maze to san francisco traveling westbound, at hayward we have a serious accident southbound 880 a report of a car fire. part of the ground is catching on fire so it is a serious incident as you make the drive from san lorenzo at 35 miles per

well the only new ruse was alone time dick cheney. interest said that cheney was his lifelong hero what's interesting about me and bruce is that he had a company called science applications international corporation where i see i see eight years before and i don't lever and this company has so many important links to nine eleven it's really astounding they created the national databases that identified and tracked legit terrorists they provided terrorism streaming equipment to the airports in the united states enders himself was a leading expert on the communication systems that they don't know i'm going to let him into cia see help create the officiating account for what happened at the world trade center also after nine eleven and then after the nine hundred ninety three. i mean additionally one of the. managers actually managed the robots at ground zero which had been used for elimination or. unexploded ordinance in the past so these things all give units and there are many more that as you know i see maybe later role in the attack

dick, headed to the tower? >> headed to the tower, eastbound, again, from treasure island and i don't know if you just saw it but a highway patrol cruiser are out here making sure people do not take pictures and obey the speed limits much the toughest thing about driving on the bridge, we have been reporting for a week that the traffic has been the toughest par. the toughest part now is keeping it under the speed limit. it is an open stretch of road, you feel like it is a highway to heaven climbing the incline headed westbound to san francisco, the majestic spire and it is difficult to keep your speed at 50 miles per hour or less. everyone is mostly doing 55 to 60. that is easy to do on the new bridge. >> drivers are getting a chance to enjoy the ride on the new span. abc7 news katie marzullo is in san francisco with that reaction. >> good morning, these are the earliest commuters and they are in great spirits all smiles. i am talking with them as they come off of the bay bridge near fremont and they could not

dick fuld doesn't know how to do anything more.oo far removed from the career out there to get to rise in his position. he is so radioactive -- melissa: right. >> he will not big in business for any new firm t would be such a joke to have him on the letterhead. it is too far gone. i heard he gave a speech soon after the whole lehman collapse and tried to, you know, inject a little humor, and i'm the most hated man in america. no one laughed. melissa: they were just like, that is sort of a statement. even if you look at contemporaries, look at john thain, ceo of merrill lynch. of course, same time, similar situation. i wonder if the difference with dick fuld was, i remember at the time, when he kept going on tv and reassuring people that he had it under control. and then later when we replayed all the sound bites and we went back and looked at it was he delusional and didn't understand how out of control it was or was he lieing? i mean is that one of the differences? we really watched him come out and talk about how everything was o

dick, good morning! >> good morning, eric. this is just an incredible experience. this is my first trip over the bridge westbound into san francisco. i came over eastbound this morning to get over here and coming or starting at the tunnel and enjoying the bright lights in the town fell rather than the old yellow lights and when you pop out of the tunnel, no s-curve, no rumble strips, just a straight shot, and this is just a majestic structure. it is very wide open. a feeling of freedom. you have to be careful with the freedom because c.h.p. is out here with quite a few units cruising back-and-forth to make sure people do not speed or stop to take pictures or whatever the case may be. they are on sight so this is something we do not so we have seen the last few oranges is backed up traffic. there is no traffic at the toll plaza. no traffic on the bridge deck. an incredible experience. >> we want to follow you along the whole span, drive the whole span with you but we will check back. thans for now. it does lock very smooth. very straight. >> bicyclists and pedestria

bush dick cheney donald rumsfeld connelly's or rice colin powell and paul wolfowitz is that these six defendants planned and waged a war in violation of the nuremberg principle against aggression so she's alleging that the war was planned starting in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight small nonprofit called the project for the new american century which donald rumsfeld dick cheney and paul wolfowitz were members of and that after they planned the war they these people use nine eleven as a cover as an excuse to scare and mislead the american public and the international community to support a war and then she alleges that the war finally when it happened did not have proper legal authorization under various treaties including the u.n. charter the caliber and packed in the nuremberg charters so that's the heart of the case and it we you know the case was filed in march and as you mentioned in august on the part of justice filed this westfall acts are to fit cation which is a request to the court that these six defendants be essentially immunized from from civil proceedings ok and i

dick grasso is one of the great heroes of september 11th in getting this place up. it just lifted the whole spirit of america. it showed that we're see ril yant. we can take a terrible attack but these people can't tower is. >> if we have a mayor who is -- there's a big field out there, but if there's a weak mayor and eliot spitzer wins comptroller, is eliot spitzer running the city? >> it's not over until it's over. i voted for joe lohta this morning. he's perfect candidate for mayor. he has all the qualifications. he's a strong, tough but really smart guy. his whole background is finance. that's what he was -- >> running the mta. >> he was also an investment banker who did municipal finance. this city needs somebody who really understands finance. when i got elected it needed somebody that understood crime and how to bring it down. when mike got elected it needed

>> i caught a bit of dick's comments. crisis to be on a stage with him. i, obviously, see it his way. and i think that, you know, mr. paulson in many ways, you know, is going to be the most famous treasury secretary in history and i really do think his heart's in the right place. but to me, you know, we ended up creating a dynamic where the banks ended up sleeping with the government. and from this point forward, first of all, i don't know i'd ever totally believe anything that comes out of a headline from any of the bankers that received $125 billion. some of the antagonism i used to enjoy i don't see as much anymore. but more importantly, you know, once you save them, now you end up kind of tinkering with them and making rules about them and wondering what's too big and what's too small. if you'd just used the only regulation that ever worked, what i call the 11th commandment, failure, you wouldn't have any of these issues. >> yeah, i think george hamilton was, by far, more famous than -- was it not george. no, i'm thin

mission and i was in the same action as dick.in fact, i can remember some of the editing of my cables, generally an improvement. so even back in those days he was a real stylist. and let me just -- seems to me as mary beth is also suggested, one of the main strengths of dick's book is its counterpoint between the personal and the summit meeting of khrushchev and kennedy and eisenhower and de gaulle, the meetings in washington, dick's ability show in almost every chapter how a look at the diplomats like himself on the ground. so this counterpoint is one of the great strengths of the book. he has drawn from a wide variety of sources, as best as already mentioned, and i think probably dick was planning to write this book for 48 years. because some of the endnotes refer to authors notes from august 1961. so clearly here he was planning something 40 years ago, and we have it today right here. i don't want to repeat some the things that the said sum going to skip over certain points i would have otherwise made. the book is tightly focu

[applause] >> thank you, dick. rich? >> the four i read bill and david's new book, i sat down and listed what if that were the three biggest shortcomings in american higher education, thinking i would compare my list with bears, after i read the book. my first shortcoming, by the way, not surprisingly, was that american higher education is extremely costly and inefficient, burdening students enormously, and leading to a student debt crisis of increasingly serious magnitude. second, i think that american higher education involves remarkably little learning with teachers, students, and even buildings being grossly underutilized. many students fail to graduate from college, and to many that do are not much better critical thinkers or have acquired much more knowledge of virtue than they did as freshmen. then the third, i think that the overproduction of college graduates and related pathologies such as the proliferation of students majoring in topics of little relevance to the world of work has created massive underemployme

and then it goes back and forth because i think i'll go with uncle dick you know and barack obama is not like that. he he he soaks things in but he wants to be the one to noodle things over and that's something that he's had since childhood some of these had to do because mother who was a scientist instilled that in him so he's there he is now out in the public eye trying to make these points but the old barack is out there wanting to be eloquent but the you have the new barack the almost tainted brock by just being president can age you and all the things that he's had to deal with he's now basically created the sphere around him that contains the old barack but people just can't get through it is it because there's so much mistrust because of so much flip flopping that he's done from two thousand and eight and he would tell you if he was interpersonally rather than in a group i had to do this because of this this this and this and you might not along interpersonally if you just sit in his living room but what he's trying to convey that to occur to people and you see the results of

jeremy kaplan says the dick tracy and samsung should be proud.ith-not buying all the hype just yet. jeremy you had a chance to look at it and play with it. >> i wore it in fact. briefly, until they ripped it off the wrist. >> neil: it looks nice but practical? >> it's the nicest looking ones, it's pretty darn good. >> neil: what does it do. >> connects to your smartphone and pumps all the date a -- >> got to be a samsung phone? so you can send text-messages, check the weather, the sports scores. >> neil: san contract you're not quite a believer. why not? >> no, because i think we have seen so many of these gadgets try to come on to the market and they've never replaced the need for a smartphone, and everybody is addicted to their phones. air trying to market these smart watches to a generation that has never even worn a watch. everybody growing up now has green up with a cell phone and use their cell phone for their watch. this den. >> neil: you are all wearing watches? i've taken an independent survey. you don't think -- >> if they're wearing a

. >> dick cheney, defense secretary at the time, supports the first president bush's restraint. >> i think we got it right. conversations i had with leaders in the region afterwards, they were concerned that we not get into a position where we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world, taking down governments. >> after the gulf war, bush and his successor, bill clinton, send u.s. planes to provide air cover for vulnerable populations in northern and southern iraq. the u.n. security council imposes harsh sanctions and sends in weapons inspectors to dig deeply for iraqi wmd capabilities, weapons of mass destruction. >> this went on for years. at a certain point, unbeknownst to weapons inspectors or anyone else other than iraq, it turns out that we had pretty much accounted for the full system. but we didn't know that. >> in 1998, saddam refuses to cooperate further, and the united nations pulls out the weapons inspectors. saddam virtually seals iraq off from the west. in a 1998 letter to president clinton, paul wolfowitz, donald rumsfeld and

the first step in my view -- >> governor, the question that dick durbin just asked, does ted cruz wanted to shut down the government and does he have enough votes? now, governor, the answer is no. mitch mcconnell took a shot at cruz saying his strategy is to de-fund obama care, that ted cruz, accused of wanting to fund obama care and shut down the government. there is a parliamentary move here, if the republicans vote for cloture, it allows a simple majority to pass it. what ted cruz is saying, the only vote, the real vote that matters, if the republicans vote against cloture it will prevent reid's amendment to strip the de-funding. it gets complicated. but i understand what kcruz is doing, where are the other republicans and what are the tactical differences? >> well, they are expecting that americans are not going to keep up with the arcane senatorial rules, you know, they are hard to follow. you get kind of glassy eyed. cruz is right when he discuss tuesday cloture, and the debate, and allowing senator reid to take out the de-funding mechanism that is part of the cr now. a vote for th

he's locked up at dick conner correctional facility- an hour north of tulsa, oklahoma. here the prison has found a low cost solution for inmate health care--they train other prisoners as orderlies to work in the infirmary. seth anderson often works long hours taking care of the inmates here and for his efforts is paid $5 a month. he was convicted of kidnapping, drug possession and possession of a sawed-off shotgun. >> dick conners' infirmary is where everybody comes to die. we have guys with cancer, leukemia, bone cancer. one guy's got leukemia, bone cancer and lung cancer, all in the same. that's what he's here for. he's here to die. >> one inmate seth takes care of is blind -- a wool cap pulled down over his face to prevent light from irritating his eyes. he is one of several inmates here seth says has been granted medical parole, but remain behind bars simply because they don't have anyone to pick them up. >> as for the fear that some of these men might reoffend - the statistics show that it happens, but it's rare - just 3 out of every 100 prisoners over 55 return to

you'll recall that dick cheney didn't even want the iraq war brought to congress. either iraq war. dick cheney thought either president bush or any president, even not a bush, could invade iraq or wherever whenever they wanted just on their own say so. so, yeah, dick cheney is still alive, and some of those reagan-era guys are still around, but to their chagrin, the iraq wars did go before congress and congress decided both times that we should go. generally when congress considers matters like this, when they're asked to consider the use of military force, congress can almost always be counted on to say yes, but those debates in congress weren't in public. they were not just one man in the white house arguing with himself in the mirror with ed miese whispering in his ear. the public debates about getting involved in wars or using force, those are important moments both for accountability and focusing the country's tension on what ought to be the greatest decisions that we make as a country. when you're voting for congress, when you're voting for president, when you're voting for y

guy with a dramatic history of hallucinations, paranoid ideas, and dick durbin is an example of what everyone in this town is saying. how could a guy who is mentally ill get a gun, clearance, how could he get into the navy yard? all important questions but secondary. the real question is, here is a guy who is mentally ill. how could he not have been treated? how could he not have been cared for? the answer is exactly as evan and nina said. this is an excess of concern for civil liberties to the point that we let these people die with their rights on, and sometimes tragically, rarely but tragically, take a dozen innocents with them. this happened in tucson with jerod loeffler. i think his mother said that he was clearly psychotic. she could not do anything or was told we cannot do anything to pick him up to treat him or incarcerate him. until he does something. so you have to kill until you are treated. that is the tragedy at the root of this. >> this is my swiss army knife. i cannot walk into a government building with this. how did this guy get a shotgun onto the navy yard, a major
