the difference between the color coding is the agreement focuses on mostly at risk and fiat -- highly at risk youths. the red focuses on in risk, custody young adults. what you see on the far right is all the activities that we fund. once again, what we did was collect all the information from the community, look at the need, the data, and look at what we were already funding and what we had stated in previous lap's, and moved into this new refined products that you see today. this is a product of the extensive work that has been done. from this point on, this strategy really informs our current rfp which we announced in the last couple of weeks. we want to also highlights some of the major changes that were included from the previous lap and current lap. what we found in our research, you are being impacted by violence at a number of -- you are being impacted by violence at a younger age -- youth are being impacted by violence at a younger age. a couple of things that i mentioned before, really defining some of our strategies. in that work, what hope to dubai of the dividing our stra

piece tt he's proposed to, if he could pass that by fiat today he would do that because he believes it would help. he knows that just as i described it it makes it sound absurd that republicans would be bend it. they rejected the grand bargain in the debt ceiling negotiation and they believe the stimulus was an utter failure and now president obama has not proposed a stimulu of roughly the same size, in fact, at $447 billion for one year. that's about the size of the stimulus he enacted in 2009. i ink that what th president was trying to do... i understood this as a political speech and they were trying to frame a choice. the diffulty for them is that many of the things that would actually solve the problem are things that are not that popular in the country ght now. so he was trying to thread, i think, a very tough needle. you're trying give a speech... if you're giving a purely political speech, you should give a speech that would be broadly popular. but the country not in favor of more keynesian stilus spending so he was in this position where he's trying to lay down as much as a

other words you've got a lot of feet out money out there do you need to figure out the ratio between fiat's money and the available gold and the money supply for example in the u.s. how does that factor into a transition you know what i was writing this is one of the chapters that was actually cut out of my book my book was two and a half years of research and editing but actually the research was six years because it goes back to the beginning of when i got into this really. and one of the things that i did as an exercise i was when i was writing back in two thousand and six roughly. i went and found what would it take to instill confidence once again in the u.s. dollar if the u.s. dollar was going into a hyperinflation or there was a crisis of confidence and basically i believe that that would take something like the bretton woods system where the u.s. dollar would be redeemable in gold but to foreign central banks only because believe me when when this current monetary system starts to fall apart they're going to want to try and run some scam on us again and only back they're going to tr

i went out to the consumer report test track in connecticut and got behind the wheel and put the fiatall right. we've seen what this car can do if you want to drive it that way. most people are probably not going to drive it that way. this is where dave will hand the car to me. let's see what it handles like when just driving around like regular folk. i would say qualifies as easy to drive. >> yes. >> what's your sense of it? what's your sense of this car? >> it's an okay car. >> right. >> it looks cute. fun to drive. but would i want to live with it on a day-to-day basis no? is this going to be part of the comeback strategy for chrysler and work? >> i think it's going to bring a young demographic, somebody who wasn't looking at a chrysler to come into the chrysler showroom. from that point of view it's going to be a little bit of a halo card that's going to bring a totally different consumer into chrysler. >> bouncing a little bit on this road. this doesn't score as well as something else in this price category, other cars in this category. do you think it's likely to improve or this

fiat has launched a new 500 in the united states. question is, will it be a hit with american drivers. ali velshi took it out for a spin. >> we've seen what this car can do if you want to drive it that way, but most people are probably not going to drive it that way. so this is where he hands the car over to me. let's see what it hams leak when we're driving around like regular folk. i'd say it qualifies as easy to drive. what is your sense of this car? >> it's an okay car. it looks cute. it's fun to drive. would i want to live with it on a day to day basis, no. >> is this going to be a big part of the comeback strategy for chrysler? >> i think it will bring a young demographic in. i think it will bring somebody that wasn't look at a chrysler to actually come into a chrysler showroom oig. so from that point of view, it will be a little bit of a halo, it will bring a totally different couplener to chrysler. >> bouncing a little bit on will road. this doesn't score as well as something else in this price category. do you think it's lik

he required individuals to buy health insurance basically on government fiat. >> yeah, what i'm saying is we are interested in electability, but we don't necessarily believe that mitt romney is the electable one. because, again, we believe that good policy is good politics, and actually taking a stand on some of these big economic issues, even when it's difficult, even when it's uncomfortable, this is something that's going to resonate with independent voters that don't vote on a partisan basis. they vote based on whether or not they think you're an authentic guy that believes something and will do something. >> that's what i think, by the way. let's go to rick perry right now. he took a shot at mitt romney last night. let's listen to that shot. maybe it's along the lines you're talking here. >> we don't need to nominate obama-light we don't need to nominate someone who's going to blur the lines between president obama and our nominee. when you take a look at what mitt did from the standpoint of romney-care in massachusetts, you're going to have a hard time finding a difference between

it's only custom and fiat. among many other things it does is it prevents us have having an honest conversation about whether professionalized sports and quality education are compatible. we're the only country in the world that has big money sports in institutions of higher learning. we don't have a debate about whether that injures education or sports because we're pretending the ncaa has the big sports media pretending that the problem is dirty athletes. >> how would a system like that even work? if i'm on a college football team and if i think that this guy or next to me is making more money or less money, does that destroy some of the camaraderie, some of the integrity of the game? >> how about... does it destroy the camaraderie here at the newshour? it's the same thing. it's the real world. it's also like the olympics. the olympics were amateur for a century and people thought even more than college sports that it would ruin them if they went professional. they went professional and no one even noticed. t

i went from that spot after i talk to the president, went into the fiat itself and dare i was presented by norm pineda, our secretary of transportation responsible for the faa. norm had a list of six aircraft that they believe had been hijacked at that point. they actually had flight numbers on them. and of course it was only four, but for a while we thought it was six. and there were two major drivers of what i thought i'd i that morning as we work through that crisis that day. number one was the have to get off the plane out of the sky so we could isolate whatever had been hijacked and account for all the aircraft, including the list we had once we thought it had been hijacked. that point would account for three of them. to a new york one at the pentagon. and so that was a major part of the effort. the other thing that was very important that i focused on was the continuity of government. some of you are probably familiar with over the years we had developed programs and features for preserving the continuity of government of an all-out global conflict. so that was always this scenari
