i think mackenzie is right there are a lot of things internally you can do in the budget. we've got nearly a third of the force that's never deployed because they are operating the back office, the infrastructure in the defense department. you can do an awful lot to clean that up and make savings. >> brown: but do you agree that we can maintain all that we want to do, all that we should be doing, all that politically there will be calls to do while making the very large cut. he's talking about-- you're talking about much larger cuts than the president. >> right that may be the area where we disagree the most. i would be worried that you would cut past the fat and muscle-- and into muscle and bone at that type with those types of cuts. now if it is done rationally on the overhead side. but i'm concerned thats those core capabilities, what's basically made us a superpower as the united states a lot of the investment that was made in the 80s, '90s in technology and even this decade. the things that give our military its global strength and reach, those are birth rights. they

as bob mackenzie told us in this record in 2001, it was all part of a time when americans were living in fear. >> reporter: in 1945, world war ii ended at last. the troops came home, the economy boomed, and americans spread out into the suburbs to enjoy the peace and prosperity they had fought for. then just four years later, the soviet union tested an atomic bomb. americans were shocked and scares. the government launched a media campaign to prepare the public for a nuclear attack. >> in the two story house on main and elm streets, the mannequin family waits 2,500 feet from atomic destruction. marching miles,1500 gis take cover. >> reporter: needles to say there wasn't much left of the mannequin family. civil defense officials estimated americans would have six or seven hours notice to evacuate their cities if the soviets sent nuclear bombers. the plan was for at least a million bay area citizens to head north toward marin, napa an sonoma county. at the veteran's home you can still see a concrete building constructed in the 50s with a basement containing what's left of a california s

in 2003, bob mackenzie met a couple who not only lived on the open road but did it on two continents.rter: few people describe themselves as totally happy. these two people do. herman sap and his wife candelario decided to live their dream and drive their antique car from their native argentina to alaska. they thought the trip would last six months. but every time they saw an interesting side road they would take down it and explore it. when one took them down the amazon, they made a barge to accommodate their car. they have criss crossed the u.s. a couple of times. >> we said the only way to make a dream come true, is to start it. >> reporter: while on the road the saps had a baby. conceived in nicaragua and was born in the u.s. a. it didn't even slow them down. strangers began inviting the travelers into their own homes. >> a little scared because the people would say, follow me, follow me to my house. i want to, for you to sleep in my home. so we started to follow them and we were thinking, where are we going. and they were all great people. so we love them. we are not scared anymo

mackenzie wilson reports, the 90-year-old man now has the medals he earned during world war ii, medals he had never seen before. >> it was an awards ceremony, 66 years in the making. at 90 years old, world war ii veteran earl arnold got a hit and the medals he earned fighting in her harbor. >> i appreciate them. >> it was his great granddaughter who asked the question that should have been answered decades ago. >> did she ask him about all of his medals. and he said he didn't have any, and he had never received any. >> earl arnold's daughter made call after call to the world war ii veterans administration to get her father his awards. finally they arrived at the home in missouri. the two made a road trip to surprise the veteran. earl finally has his medals. the long time resident recently suffered a stroke, even that couldn't keep him from shaking hands with other local world war ii heroes. >> when roy asked him, he said, will you be able to be out there all morning? he said i'll stand with them. >> arnold narrowly escaped death on the attack on pearl harbor whose ship sank an enemy su

i am debra mackenzie. coming up -- too little, too lace. syria rejects an offer after weeks of unrest. and change in the way we look at the world. the technology that is promising to redefine reality. >> the president of the english football association, prince william, has backed calls for fifa's presidential election to be postponed until an independent inquiry into corruption allegations. sepp blatter stance unopposed after two senior officials were suspended. >> after a week of high drama for world football, it was a fitting opening to tonight's fifa congress. >> the president of fifa, sepp blatter. >> as the president arrived, he had a message for those trying to tarnish the governing bodies reputation. -- bobby's reputation. >> i believe we were living in a world of fair play, respect, and discipline. but i must say this is the longer the case. the famous fifa pyramid is shaking on its base, and there is danger. >> he may not look that dangerous, but the head of the english fa led calls for sepp blatter's reelection to be stopped. >>

. >> as the third place winner, mackenzie received a $3,000 bond.mother, who suffers from raynaud's disease. in second place, an invention to protect a device most of us use every day. >> this is my cell phone case holder that i made out of bubble wrap and duct tape. >> autumn's protective case nabbed her a $5,000 savings bond. >> we've done this for five years, and every single one of the entrants the many hundreds and hundreds of entrants we've had have actually been creative, exciting, interesting and really show what young people in america can do when they put their mind to it. >> this floating garden -- a way to help people protect their crops in flooded areas -- took the grand prize, and a $10,000 savings bond. >> it's a platform with a box in it with soil and garden, basically, and in the box under it is bubble wrap, and when you put that in the water it floats. >> these winners say you don't have to be a math or science whiz to walk away with one of these awards. >> i was just sitting at home, and i wanted to buy an actual cell phone case f

>> it has, and i used to say that in shawn's day if a team from the harvard business school or mackenzieny or something3 came and studied the new yorker, the team would decide that it couldn't possibly come out the nextú week. [laughter] it was, thought that's why it did come out the next week. it was sort of quirky beast theory... >> yeah. >> ...of the new yorker. >> right. >> i think now, you know, you might have to, you might get a form that says you have been assigned this piece or something. >> it's a little bit more... >> a little bit ore official, a little bit more like a regular place. >> right. and you're... >> but, but and a different magazine because it has to be...i mean the pieees are shorter, they're more on the news than they used to be. and on the other hhnd, i think the current editor, david remnick, is, is in the spirit of the new yorker and actually we, i always refer to the naming of, and his editorship as the restoration. >> restoration. >> yeah, because it's brought back, i think, i think he's, you know, a serious guy and, and i think the new yorker is in good shape

that, i would suggest, in my reading of the report, was not the main message i took from the mackenzie report. i would say that is not the main message of the administration either. charlie, you're speaking for yourself only on that one. i thought i would just talk about three general points and why i like the report. analytically, there are certain parts that i argue with, but the effort is exactly what we should be doing because my first point is that the nature of the recovery, where we are in the crisis-recovery has changed quite a lot. we go through the first 1.5 years, really, and we are in the outright rescue mode. the private sector is in freefall. in my view, anyone saying that what we should have done at that time was to just get out of the way and let the private sector solve the problem itself was not really paying attention because that was not in the cards. we're losing 750,000 jobs per month. the gdp is shrinking at a 6% annual rate and we are in the steepest decline in, really, most of our lifetimes. i will not mention any one's age in this audience, but the depression

in 2001, ed spoke with eddie mackenzie, the first member of bulger's gang ever to speak publicly. >> he had such a stare of blankness, no compassion in his eyes, ed, that just would horrify anybody. you could be 6' 6", 360 pounds, the toughest guy... i've seen people almost go to the bathroom in their pants in his presence, he was so scary. >> pelley: then, in 2006, ed spoke to kevin weeks, a mob lieutenant who knew bulger better than most. >> oh, he stabbed people, he beat people with bats, he shot people, strangled people, ran them over with cars. >> you said also that he liked killing. >> yeah. >> explain that to me. >> after he would kill somebody, he'd... it was like a stress relief, you know? he'd be nice and calm for a couple weeks afterwards, like he just got rid of all his stress. >> by killing? >> yes. >> that's a bizarre way to get rid of stress. >> pelley: kevin weeks, the man you just heard from, led the f.b.i. to where some of bulger's alleged victims were buried. he is likely to be a witness at trial. it has been a busy 48 hours for the f.b.i. we learned today that age

i think you just look at -- you know i look at little mackenzie right here and see how much she's grownittle brother now is really awesome. >> how is mackenzie reacting to having a little brother? >> how do you like your little brother? you like your little brother? she doesn't quite know what to think yet but she is definitely making a connection from baby that's been in mommy's tummy and how she explained to her over the process and now as she's seeing him out she's going okay, that's my baby. it's really cute to see her interacting and have that little big sister kind of coming in. >> let me turn to grandpa if i can. jim bob this is your second grandchild. but your first grandson. does having a grandson feel any different? >> well, it's very special. and i always thought that, you know, having children was very special. but having grandchildren is like josh and anna have all the responsibility. we get to have all the fun. >> and michelle, we are hearing a newborn crying in the background. you've heard a lot of newborns cry in your lifetime. it must be a welcome sound to you. >> oh, i

you can fool yourself to say we had 31 years of high-speed growth that is the world we live in but mackenzie global study says that the declining investment rate we experienced in the 50 years after world war ii will reverse is essentially because they are higher in the emerging economies and the economy is bigger. >> i want to anticipate there is a challenge with respect you are supposed to give the answer i don't think we have answers. i think we're going on a journey together to figure them how much as the emerging economies go on a journey to solve problems in the experimental mode in which you don't have the answer but i think it is a fascinating time of the global economy and what are the challenges? one is clearly governance. and it is a fairly rapidly moving environment. we switch over to the g20 with the help of the crisis. this teetwenty is struggling to find a way to promote stability and coordinate policy on a global basis. i am not pessimistic about that but think of that as the long term project and one that is very difficult into the heterogeneous people involved with their st

mackenzie says no, he should not. he has been a champion of the constituents.ess? a lot of times, things are right underneath our feet, and all we need to do is change the way we're thinking about them. a couple decades ago, we didn't even realize just how much natural gas was trapped in rocks thousands of feet below us. technology has made it possible to safely unlock this cleanly burning natural gas. this deposits can provide us with fuel for a hundred years, providing energy security and economic growth all across this country. it just takes somebody having the idea, and that's where the discovery comes from. >>> we're awaiting a press conference from anthony weiner, who is set to resign. mary, tell us what the significance is of where you are, the spot that he has chosen to make the announcement and what folks are saying. >> reporter: well, this certainly has special meaning for anthony weiner, suzanne, because this is where he launched his city council campaign two decades ago, and this is where he will give his press conference. i want to give you a sense

one of the examples was delta airlines from the mackenzie report. other companies had partnered with these programs so the students can come out and work for the company. that is the kind of model we need to do. here we are a ced. i am pleased that we are here with this group because this is a group that i think we need to create a kind of standard for improving technology to get a better handle on what it is that students re-employing workers, what skills they need to have. how can this be done cheaply? it should be a fairly quick program. can we work with community colleges, not letting the bad ones get away, but try to find those common grounds so that on the education side and on the private sector side, we can create these sure skill enhancement programs that make people better able to fit into these jobs. i don't pretend that is an easy task. surely, if we are in this economic crisis and it is really true that we have these skills shortages, shouldn't that gives emergency around doing something like this? >> what is your take on this, carl? wh

and -- and it's report from a group -- it's the mackenzie quarterly and it's called "how u.s. health care reform will affect employee benefits." you know, madam president, in the debates and in the speeches that the president had given in the were u run-up to the electid the vote on this bill, he said that if you had care that you liked, you could keep it, that the american people had a plan that they liked, they'd be able to keep it. and it was a promise that he made to the american people, a promise that the american people wanted to believe, but now this report shows that the american people were right in being skeptical and, as we see, the more the american people learn about the health care larks the less they like it and the more they oppose it. so what this report says is that it is a shift away from employer-provided health insurance will be vastly greater than expected and will make sense for many companies and lower-income workers alike. when you work your way through this report, what you see is that more and more private companies that today -- today -- provide hea
