look at those temperatures, mike. i think it's still august. >> checking the calendar, looking at the seven-day. you're right, rob. we're looking to the approach to the bay bridge, from either side of the bay. right now smooth out of san francisco and oakland, heading out of oakland, southbound 880 you do have the issue at 18th. slow traffic very steady here, see headlights coming toward us at the coliseum, no major slowing. volume picking up a bit. back to the maps to show you what we're talking about through downtown oakland, broadway and 18th is where the disabled vehicle and the tire and wheel it lost are blocking slow lanes. watch for lights, move to the left to allow extra room to work. tree down at pinehurst road at redwood road. probably won't be cleared until after 6:00. locals keep that in mind. locals to cloverdale there is a closure because of an accident at 8:15 yesterday involving a tanker truck. sounds like the driver of that tanker truck died in that accident. unfortunately we have the loss of life, also

it you know i would see clips of my life just just flashing in my head you know am i going to die mike i mean. you know what's happening to me to the point i couldn't breathe out a gasp or air but just something with it myself just made me just want to fight you know continue to live. i just had to. fire member the night that i made the decision to leave from that moment to the next morning i was in a war zone. first he beat me until i was unconscious held me down on the floor put his knees on my shoulders. burned my marriage with a cigarette burn my arm with a cigarette. kicked me in the left ear until i was unconscious. and stripped me of my clothes and threw me in the back yard and it was twenty seven degrees below zero with the wind chill that night we were in wisconsin and it was january so i ran to the garage and i knew i had to hide so i found a tarp and i read myself in it and i hid in a corner behind some things and i heard him come in and he had a stick and i heard him poking around in the garage. and i just prayed that he didn't find me if i could just live through the night t

let's talk about the senate, mike. i guess there is a bigger -- well, there is another issue there. the majority leader harry reid is calling this a classic compromise in that neither side is getting what it wants. >> that's true. is he saying it's the product of divided government. have you got a democratic president. democrats controlling the senate. but republicans controlling the house. and so not everybody is going to get everything they want. here is the majority leader and his take on it. >> the solution cuts the deficit now, lays the groundwork for congress to do much better work. in the months ahead. clears the way for us to look up at the bright sunshine and get rid of the clouds of default that have been hanging over our country for far too long. >> bright sunshine and clouds. i should note that assuming the bill passes the house this hour, we do expect the senate to vote tomorrow morning on this plan. shep? >> shepard: we have talked briefly, mike, about this committee. some have called it a super congress. though i'm not sure that's the right phrase for it people can us

do you see this things resolving-- >> i wish i had a hat. >> mike: do you see it resolving? think you're -- i do, i do. to the degree that it suits moody's or s & p or the left or the right, the tea party or dick durbin and his crowd, i don't care. the fact is it, we're going to start the process, everyone's got to understand, this is the beginning of a process toward taking control of this government and this country's future. >> mike: lou dobbs, thank you very much for joining us, i see the rain is starting to come down upon your head. you weren't kidding about needing the hat. [applause] >> you know what, lou. >> i'd take it. >> mike: there are a lot of places in the country having a great drought. i hope you get much needed rain there. thank you, lou dobbs for being with us. >> appreciate it, thank you. >> mike: coming up the conclusion of my exclusive interview with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and later, you're going to hear why paul williams is one of america's greatest song writers and he'll be singing some of his hits. stay with us. [applause]. you cou

mike, i notice lately, it's been like summer around here. >> the longest stretch of summer we've had all summer. let's look outside and show what is going on. the clouds. the temperatures that are close to average in the afternoon. it makes it feel like summer outside. more drizzle heading to tomorrow. that will start the cooling trend. that will take over as we head to the weekend. let's talk about what is going on as far as the temperatures outside. we can see, we have 60s all along the peninsula to the south bay and 63 in antioch. low 50s around santa rosa and san rafael. everybody else in mid-to-upper 50s. around the monterey bay and inland, we have cloudy conditions. the patchy drizzle and temperatures in the low to mid-50s. sunny and mild today. cloudy at the coast. we have mostly cloudy conditions tonight. more widespread drizzle and a cooler weekend. it's short-lived. we have warmer weather next week. 24-hour temperature change. fremont will be three degrees warmer today. san jose, two. oakland, one. santa rosa the same. concord, one degree cooler than yesterday. we'll have 1

it is something we started talking with mike about today. but i am serious about going to meet on our own -- hopefully with mike, with each commissioner, to talk about what their concerns are. as to the joint meeting, i did have a conversation with the -- with ed harrington about trying to set up their special meeting in august, which is something the commission did direct them to do. and i do think we also ought to set up a joint meeting. i mean, so that if action isn't taken in august, we can be prepared to do so in september when we have the joint meeting. >> i think you're being potentially naive about the fact that coming into a intensified election season after labor day, considering the three municipal races that are up, that this only distracts from the conversation both from the mayor's office and board of supervisors and commissioners that i think opportunity has now been missed by their not being a joint meeting before labor day.

it is something we started talking with mike about today. but i am serious about going to meet on our own -- hopefully with mike, with each commissioner, to talk about what their concerns are. as to the joint meeting, i did have a conversation with the -- with ed harrington about trying to set up their special meeting in august, which is something the commission did direct them to do. and i do think we also ought to set up a joint meeting. i mean, so that if action isn't taken in august, we can be prepared to do

looks like it's going to last, mike. >> i heard you say look at models and cool. the seven-day up there. we're looking here, looking at the speed, 57 right at el charo, westbound 580, that's the commute direction. the blip that shows up pretty cc1:airway.ning around that's where we see slowing as well. look at that, a much better drive than we saw. e'll look down southbound, 680: through sunol and smooth as you come into the south bay. another blip for 87 southbound. typical, shifting traffic as things pick up so we'll watch these averages. construction going on. 237 at matilda. keep that in mind. and slowing southbound on 17 toward the summit. reports of a deer that was hit. we'll see if we have to close lanes. there is slowing but that's typical for that point of your commute.cc1: we'll track that. heading up the peninsula 101 as well as 280, clear flow but christina talking about the drizzle, so keep that in mind along the coast as well. earlier construction has cleared up. the the golden gate bridges, look at this, this low clouds and fog so you can't see much

my parents -- mike i i talking about this before.alton, georgia, born in the middle of the great depression, always believed fdr was king. parents from our generation say the same thing -- what did he say? >> he saved the country. >> my mom still says it and she's about as right wing as you get. >> two reasons, i think. he had the advantage of a totally democratic congress. he could try anything. he did. you had a sense he was throwing things at the wall seeing what would land. the works projects and getting people to work on infrastructure. all that sort of thing, he was willing to do it. it didn't pull the people out of the depression, no, it did not. it gave people the sense of if you wanted to find work, you could find work. he was an inspiring speaker. when he got on the radio and he spoke to the country about where we were headed, he just gave people a sense that if you just hang in there, it will get better. >> "new york times" -- when did president obama become such a lousy speech maker? his remarks on the market were flat an

well mike a i don't know about the bot you can buy your kids out for one hundred fifty grand i mean it kind of work i guess for george w. bush and i don't know if bringing back the draft would solve all of the country's problems but i think you're on to something it would definitely be a major step toward solving america's problem of never ending wars thomas jefferson once wrote to his friend james madison that we should minimize our permanent military establishment and instead of a national defense force rely on a national draft like switzerland does for example right now and herbert hoover correctly noted old men declare war but it's the youth who must fight and die in the children of our president vice president and members of congress are all obliged to serve in this is why they should be able to buy their way out of it the odds are infinitely higher that our leaders won't speak so easily so glibly about the acceptability of a few casualties and optional wars of choice in places like afghanistan and iraq. our next comment is from twitter next week wisconsin will hold recall electio

keep and you paid and i think that the issue is going to be conservatives they look at it eighty miking i say be able to keep it now nobody thing that just because you were it doesn't mean you deserve the right to that he is happy. people underneath you crudely and you don't simply because. i think that i think that basically. i just want to make a point along with what you're saying i want to bring up i think we have a picture of the ferrari that is selling out to for our in a lamborghini that were just released essentially they're already all sold out there about four hundred thousand dollars which a lot of those orders coming from the united states they're not even out there sold out for the first model year tons of money does this yes or no does this further make your case that there are people that can afford to pay more. yeah i think it does i think it shows you created this great system where people have a spine managers traders investment bankers and seizing wall street because i mean you can make a big story since about one might look i go round with people telling everybody how

i like t how about you, mike? >> i love it. i love this range of temperatures, christina. it's great. except for the fact that, you know, it's -- well, it's not sweltering. it's august. we're looking over here and a reminder for folks it's the end of the school year as schools get back in session, we're going to see more surface street traffic, really effects folks around businesses as well. right here, more traffic for 101 coming up through typical zone north of tuly past 680. also of note, this evening, ms. katy perry having her concert at hp pavilion so expect surface street traffic through downtown san jose and maybe some colorful hair-dos and whatever else california girls wear. looking over to the east bay now -- we know what california girls wear. we grew up here. looking ahead to 22 now at the all-street, antioch. also slowing through bay point. speeds down into the 40s over the last ten minutes. and walnut creek following that accident on ignatio valley road. also the latest saying it's slowing off 60. they're going to ask the folks on cal tran to light up the sig

. >> someone came up and said, mike, i have terrible, terrible news for you.the situation had an a & f product. >> reporter: that's when the company decided -- >> let's pay them not to wear our product. >> reporter: outside their fifth avenue store, the one with the half naked doorman. >> i find it ironic that the "jersey shore" promotes going to gyms, tanning salons and clubs. people at the door here are tan, hard bodies and there's a rope that looks like a club. abercrombie sold a t-shirt combining fitch and situation, the fitchuation. what do you call this anyway, unbranding, anti-branding, unendorsement? how about a big publicity stunt. the producers of "jersey shore" said it's a clever pr stunt. we'd love to work with them on other ways they can leverage jersey shore to reach the largest youth audience on television. and snooki's gucci bag. >> get off. >> reporter: in the new york observer, simon doanen wrote that luxury accessory houses are sending snookems free bags. they're not sending their own bags, they're sending competitors' bags. the article call

gimmick because let's admit that there are republicans that are behind this suppose a debt deal that mike i won. so that means that they essentially know that this trigger would never happen but they're going to bring it down to the wire and they're going to have to make a decision that's kind of nice isn't it because that's the only way that our politicians function is when they have a deadline. yet there is another loophole here which no one's talking about in a great detail is this concept of emergency spending. they would use a similar thing around this issue they would say was to begin to burden c yeah we agreed to this and august but we can't do it now so i think the matter how they put it into writing now you know it's not going to be viable three four five months from now frankly even if they do look at good hard cuts down the road there's no one there's no guarantees are going to actually be honored two to three years from now so as far as i can tell from everything i've read everything i've seen this is just a smokescreen to get us over this local this is one issue the date of tom

i just set it up for you. [laughter] mike's got a great story coming, so i want you to be on alert to listen. [laughter] i want to affirm and emphasize the remarks that were made about the staff of the committee. we depend very much on our staff, and, in fact, going tomorrow morning before the senate banking committee to introduce marty who has been nominated to be chairman of the fdic to succeed sheila. he started on the house side and served for many years on the staff of the senate banking committee, and now he's going to become the chair of the fdic. when marty went down there first, george bush appointed him because you have to have a balance on these multi-member commissions, so only a certain number can come from the same party. that's true of the fcc, true of the fdic. marty got down there. he had only be there three months, and the chairman, don powell, a friend of president bush's, stepped down to go to texas to run the disaster recovery efforts going on in texas, and marty became the chairman, acting chairman. then a

you keep out, mike. i think they just share ownership of this island. and dave is the guy who is running the campaign to electric per electric perry president. and dave is mike is the person you give the money to. this is it, perry donation page. they point out you can make a maximum contribution of $5,000. you have to make it with your personal funds, that you are not using a business card, that you are not using the general treasury funds of a corporation, labor union, national bank, or entity that say federal government contractor. you will not be reimbursed by any other entity or individual for this contribution. you agree that the first $2,500 will be designated to the 2012 primary election, and any donation in excess of $2,500 must be refunded or redesignated for a spouse. so you can give money that way. that's if you want to give money to dave, to the actual campaign. but if you want to avoid that hassle, give your money to mike instead. over at mike's rick perry operation, there's no limits. you don't have affidavits and all of that other stuff.

i have discussed. mr. campbell? >> good afternoon, commissioners. mike campbell. i am a director here at power enterprise. continuing from where general manager harrington left off, there is a long history. general manager harrington talked about this, and i will tie it back. there is in discussion about the rates, having raids be stable over time, having a target of 51% renewable, as the ordinance said by 2017, but it was probably considered to be 10 years after the launch. the program would develop 360 megawatts of various resources to include both generation and the customer site resources, demand response, energy efficiency and. all customers would be enrolled all at the same time. the contract would be 15 years or more. there would be a single entity that would be able to provide all of the supplies and services needed, and that supplier would take on all financial risks. the city would have no financial liability whatsoever. again, ed harrington touched on this earlier, but we have gone two rfp's and have not seen a robust response. we have looked at ways to adjust the program. the first, one key ch

mike? >> i think so. if you like yesterday, i think you will like today. good morning to you.we have seasonal temperatures which means in some areas we'll hit 90s. but that is as warm as it will get. nothing outrageous. no big heat wave. the reason why, we have stronger northerly wind flow than sea breeze. that will keep most of the free air conditioning out over the ocean today. in fact, winds pretty calm in most areas, less than three to five miles per hour in the lower elevation. fairfield, southwest wind at 17. we have seen, when you get up to 25 to 35, that's when we have the real strong sea breeze. that is showing yeah, the sea breeze not as intense as it has been. the temperatures are all over the scale this morning. depending where you have the cloud cover. we're three degrees cooler in redwood city, to four degrees warmer in san rafael. check out the 8:00 temperatures, they will be like what we are seeing right now, which is the mid-to-upper 50s in most neighborhoods. 52 in santa rosa. most of the clouds are around the bay and the coast. by noon, they will be along th

waiting for the mike. >> i wondered if you could make a comment -- ago to the right page but quoted hinsdale county and all that. >> are you familiar with this story? this is an entry called the cannibal about alfred ackerman who earned a sinister place in the folklore of the american west as a result of his acquired taste for human flesh. do we have any cannibals in the audience? good. there is usually one or two. the illustration for this is a down-home peace called the packer club. there's an image of our packer. it is written in this down home language. they it was 7 democrats but you, you voracious man eating son of a bitch you 85 of them -- you -- that makes me a member of the packer club of colorado. chartered member rolf car, gene fowler and fred mozilla. the packer club. [applause] >> there was an announcement on the radio about the birth certificate of davy crockett, the woman who had it had to give it back to the charity. there was no birth certificate. that was probably the wedding license. that is true. he received a wedding license in tennessee at the old courthouse. many years

when i'm on stage and i recite and on the mike i feel free. there's no boundaries. a life of crime bought nothing but misery. i had nice cars, living like a star with the bling-bling and the dress code and my gun always on lock and load on a long, dark road going nowhere. >> poetry had such an effect on some of the younger women inmates, almost being moved to tears, they were so overwhelmed by what she had to say to them. >> poetry is meant, it's deep down in your core. 'm here to say i found my way, i want to be heard for all to hear and see, but to be honest, i do it, i do it for me. [ cheers and applause ] >> that's right. >> when i came in here, you know, i had a temper problem. i had my ideas about life were really distorted, and you know, now i know my purpose a little bit. but if you would have caught me just a few years ago, we would have been thumping it out. i'd knock your butt on the floor. one thing i learned is me, myself and i is all i got to the end, that's whey found out, and there ain't no need to cry. i took a vow from now on i'm going to be my own

. >> what did you do, mike? >> ik for a nonprofit and then they ended up cutting off the funding. >> mike is out of work too. they've taken out a home equity loan to not go under. the caterers for the workers will have to close their restaurant after christmas. >> my hope and prayers is all these communities will come together with a common purpose. >> and neil, one of the leaders of hometown heros is also weathering this storm. donations for his organization a way down. he's had to lay off staff and cut his own salary by 40%. he'll have to borrow money from his life insurance to make ends meet. >> people suffering, i can experience that. but it doesn't get us off the hook of engaging. >> it takes courage not to know where your income is going to come from and look at things you love possibly falling apart and still give. that takes courage. >> it does. it takes a lot of courage. once you do it, you keep on doing it. >> a lot of it's damaged. >> back at the house, a small crisis. most of the donated wooden floors are
