and it's a very significant ship that mrs. perry is the sponsor for. she's the sponsor for the u.s.s. cole and i want to welcome you, lee perry, here this morning and thank you for all you've done and supporting your husband and his marvelous career. thank you, ms. perry. (applause) >> our speaker this morning, the former secretary of defense william perry, i first met when he was the deputy secretary of defense, and he and mrs. perry came to korea where i was the c5j5 and i was assigned to escort them around. and i had a lot of those kinds of duties while i was assigned to korea. but it was the most pleasant experience i had and i say that honestly, to get to know these two people. and he then became our secretary of defense. and many of us that have served thought that he was one of the best secretary of defenses we've ever had. he's currently a senior fellow at the hoover institute and a freeman foley institute of international studies. he is the michael and barbara bavarian professor at stanford university and serves as co-director of the nuclear r

white and mr. perry. members of the public who wish to speak >> (calling names) >> hi good afternoon. directors again. i want to make sure that the cab stand on 18th and castro is not going to be implicated by this and when they widened the sidewalk to make sure they paint for the cab stand and make sure it they put the right sign back up. i want to make sure that stays in place. i'm concerned and i think the transit union said by eliminating two lanes at the intersections you're going to be slowing the buses and it will be long-range 20 seconds. especially at market street a lot of can be drivers make the right turn from castro to market street. it's a popular street to go downtown to castro. they don't go that way to - that's not as popular a move after the other part why don't they start enforcing the double parking now. it's horrible. it's horrible i've come before this body 20 million times. people are going to double park to take out or the delivery companies and you have double parking on castro st

i thank secretary and mrs. perry for coming, just -- i know it's, you've got some other things, people are waiting on you right now but i really appreciate you coming here. of course secretary and mrs. schultz for the entire program. vice admiral nathan, i don't know if he's here, he may have gone already, but he gave a great talk yesterday on the medical side. and vice admiral z, coast guard, our senior rep here, i can never pronounce his name but he's made things great. general speese, thank you for making this happen. rear admiral hubner, he was here, he's been terrific working with us. rear admiral rivera coming up from the chilean navy, thank you so much. i learned a lot. we need the kind of input that we got from you, really, and we thank you so much. i would be remiss not to mention the two people that really are responsible for all this. first was lewis loeven. lewis loeven works hours and hours to do this. thank you so much. but the other is because she's committed to make it happen and it's her focus that a

schultz, mrs. perry, honored to be in your presence. the uss makin island, chief of the fairest city in the world, san francisco, and he esteemed professionals. this is nice, i'm going to move south of here and take you to afghanistan. as you know we have marines, soldiers, sailors in afghanistan currently, but i'm going to bring you to when i was there during 2010 and 2011 after the president decided to surge the forces. first marine decision, first marine expeditionary force forward entered southwest afghanistan during 2009. we arrived in 2010 so it was a bit more stable. and we went straight to helman and nimruz province. very complex dynamic environment that we were operating in but before i begin it talk to you about the operational picture, i just want to give you a snapshot of afghanistan. when we got there i want to set the frame here so you understand what we're dealing with. afghanistan ranged 180th out of 1 86 on the world bank list of developed countries. 20 percent of the babies won't reach their first year of life. there i

mr. perry's death. oops. ials at the superpac say it was all a computer mistake, and that the money came in the day before perry died. but where is all the right-wing outrage over all the dead money? did they think we'd let their hypocrisy stay in the crypt? if so, they were dead wrong. nice try, ghouls. but we got you. s and the seaside heights business improvement district to restore the historic boardwalk, welcoming beach lovers back with a refreshed and revitalized place to get out, get moving, and have some fun in the sun. it's part of our goal to inspire more than three million people to rediscover the joy of being active this summer. see the difference all of us can make... together. investors could lose tens of thousands of dollars on their 401(k) to hidden fees. is that what you're looking for, like a hidden fee in your giant mom bag? maybe i have them... oh that's right i don't because i rolled my account over to e-trade where... woah. okay... they don't have hidden fees... hey fern. the junk drawer?

everything ackman is involved in is playing out in public and everybody except for perry capital is against it. mrackman, when everybody has a problem with you, you're the one who has the problem, and people are lining up for the bearish case in jc penney. >> speaking about playing out publicly, take a listen to who howard schultz had to say in an exclusive interview with maria bartiromo on the "closing bell." >> for ackman to do what he's done the last 24 hours, it's not only irresponsible, but it's destructive debehavior, and if i was sitting on that board, i would be asking for bill ackman's removal. >> it does seem to go against the interests of the company for bill ackman to act so publicly and in such a manner releasing a letter to the public at the same time as he's releasing it to his fellow board members. >> i think it's an act of desperation, plain and simple. a lot of things going against him right now, and frankly jc penney -- one of the stories has to turn around quickly or he'll lose all credibility everywhere he's playing and really who he needs to show he's doing something to is hi

perry, what was your feelings when you were watching that? >> i was disgusted, mr. o'donnell.t kind of display doesn't belong at a state-funded event. it was divisive. and it's something that's billed as family entertainment and inclusive. i come from a mixed family. my wife is an american citizen from taiwan. and we were there with a student from taiwan. and the acts that were happening in the ring, they drew attention to the president's lips. they shoved a broomstick up his bottom, for goodness sake. you can't do that and expect everybody to be happy with it. it was in bad taste, to say the least. >> you said that it actually felt more like a kkk rally than a rodeo. >> not that i've been to one. but the way they're portrayed on television. >> yeah. >> the announcer got the -- he got the crowd whooped up. and he was trying to wind them up. and i know what that's all about. i'm a piano player. i understand trying to get the crowd involved. and sometimes you go a little bit out on the edge. next thing you know, though, the crowd's feeding off the announcer, the announcer's feed

eugene robinson and melissa harris-perry are still with me. as we hear from mr.it as much as we used to. but he seems to be harkening back encouraging and getting more people involved in how people used to get political active for movements. >> certainly it's true we should not lose the strategies that have been effective in the past. at the same time we will also need to innovate new strategies. at this moment for example in south carolina, the south carolina moral monday movement is bringing together north carolinians marching each and every monday they have been for months and they are doing that as a demonstration of their push back against the republican state legislature there in north carolina and particularly the voting restrictions, the funding restrictions on unemployment benefits, on public schools that are occurring there. that's important. but the other part of what they are doing is the kind of key legislative efforts to try to change those laws that they are distressed about and at the same time also beginning to think about how to run candidates i

perry and boring have a great. discipline so the question really like colleagues and i will never shake mr saakashvili is i consider him a war criminal. more news today violence is flared up. these are the images cobol has been seeing from the streets of canada. today. try to help the operator of the crippled fukushima power plant contain a recently revealed.

perris today. the town was under a flash flood watch, and thankfully, there wasn't any significant damage. dust devils are usually much more harmless than tornadoes, but impressive to see nonetheless, mr. ranieri. >> we don't see it every day. he might. he looks at things like this. >> textbook example. usually those are set off by a lot of hot air in the atmosphere gets some uprise, and then, you know, you get a little bit ofsw. it is mild out here at this hour. 71 in livermore. upper 60s in san jose. so that hotter, dryer air at this hour is going to set us up with less fog as we head throughout tomorrow morning. that's going to be great news for the interior valleys. we're going to be able to get up bright and early. get your day started going at 8:00. looking at mostly sunny skies, temperatures in the mid-60s. not too bad. if you're the coastline, a little longer there with the cloud cover staying put and temperatures near 60. by the noon hour, that's where temperatures will diverge the most. we'll have 60s at the coast. and interior valleys with 80s. but here is the thing. for tomorrow, temperatures not as hot. by 4:00 p.m., upper 80s expected for the south bay and plenty of suns

mr. ackman and is disappointed the letter was released to the media is he same time it was sent to the board. richard perryth 7.3% ownership in jc penney is joining ackman's side. sources tell cnbc 4.3 stake holder glen view capital has not chosen signdes in the battle. looking through the bylaws, removal of any board member requires a shareholder vote and 6 of the 11 board members have to agree to call a special shareholder meeting to vote on any of these changes. so you can't really do anything. jpmorgan thinks they're pretty much stuck with the board they have until they have a new shareholder meeting which is right now scheduled for may of 2014. >> and should they get a new guy pronto right now. he made it sound like the thing is going to collapse tomorrow. >> and there were some details he revealed in the letter he sent saying sales were picking up after mother's day but then sales slowed down. it beckons backs to the main question, you got to get the people in the stores buying the merchandise. this is all a big distraction. that's the goal at hand. as long as you don't lose vendors, which is another

mr. priebus is neither a drama or a documentary, but the abject caliber of the candidates witnessed in the debate last year. we saw individuals like rick perrywas so well prepared for government, he couldn't even remember which departments he wanted to close. we witnessed the spectacle of a republican nominee, apparently bowing at the feet of racist bigotry because somehow mitt romney thought having a birther like donald trump on site would help his campaign. and who could forget herman cain? the candidate who could so easily target a woman for apparent sexual harassment, but had so much difficulty when it came to locating libya. you see, the real problem for the chairman of the rnc is not that his candidates were given too few opportunities to express themselves. but that they were given too many. and that's why mr. priebus wants to sensor certain networks. but i have a personal proposal i would like to put to him. if he's so bothered about a democratic candidate being given too much preferential coverage, then here's a possible solution. mr. priebus should agree that every republican debate will be aired on this network and chaired by this

perry. 201, we see tensions building between president obama and president putin. this is senator jock mccain's take. take a listen. >> we also need very badly to understand that mr not have united states/russia relationships in any priority and treat him in a realistic fashion. that's the way to treat mr. putin, not just cancelling a meeting. >> what does a frosty relationship with russia, what does that really mean? >> it has big implications. the most important, of course, is russia has a big role in the united nations. they can veto resolutions that the u.s. pushes for. take syria, for example, the u.s. is concerned about what's happening with syria, when russia feels differently and they could veto something we think about in order to end the violence there. russia can block things we want to do on foreign policy. that's why having a good relationship is much better than having a bad one. think about this, 12 years ago, the american president, george bush said, he looked in vladimir putin's soul and deemed him straightforward and honest. >> that's right. >> look at where we are now. obama didn't criticize putin. he criticized him on a comedy show, jay leno.

mrs. clinton and the democrats as a whole? because you and i, you know, followed the 2012 campaign in some detail and were astonished by the rank ignorance of people ranging from herman kaine to rick perry're seeing already some even more stupid things being said in preparation i guess for 2016. >> i don't think there's any question about that. hillary clinton would like to be president. we can start all of our speculation based on that fact. now, the question is does she want to be president enough to go through a campaign. >> does she think she can win one? so if you have this, what did you say, clown car that she's running the race against. >> you can use other analogies, group of dunnederheads and dull lards, incompetent buffoons. you choose. there are plenty of descriptions. >> if she looks across the track and that's the car she sees, then it does certainly make her more likely to want to run the race if she thinks it's going to be that much easier for her to win. >> garance, one of the things people have said in the past is that it's axiomatic that the democratic party was the one that was disorganized, dysfunctional, at war with itself. how have republicans now taken on that mar

mrs. villain and i are planning our... you scare me. and i like it. let's go what's in your wallet? >>> welcome back. i'm melissa harris-perry.dent abraham lincoln greeted harriet beecher stowe in 1862, the civil war was already raging. and he reportedly told her, "so, you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." sure, president lincoln's greeting was a bit of an overstatement, but what he was referring to was a series that stowe had written for the national era, a newspaper issued weekly out of the district of columbia for over a decade. that newspaper series that stowe published later became the book that we know as "uncle tom's cabin." and as far as starting wars with the written ward, the spanish american war is sometimes referred to as the general's war, because of how williams hearst used his newspaper to stoke passions against spain in the 19th century, with little to no evidence to back up his claims. since the country's origins, newspaper have been and still have a critical institution in our culture, helping to shape public opinion. and there is a public trust enhernt in their power to im

perry will be on our stage tomorrow. summer concert serii'm al roker morales. mr.e that song. >> i like that. and i like that app shazam. have you had that on your phone? i'll do that in a restaurant. you know this song. i'll pull out my phone with shazam, yeah, linda ronstadt. >> i just shazam people as they're talking. >> what comes up as you do that? >> always bizarre stuff. anyway, let's do the old take. photo bombing the president. president obama -- >> who would do that? >> i know. kids today. oh, kids. >> it's kind of cute, i think. >> honored at university of connecticut women's basketball team yesterday, and the huskies, the lady huskies at the white house ceremony, commemorating their eighth ncaa championship chose one of the basketballers giving the president bunny ears. >> she's being audited as we speak. >> you shouldn't do that. >> really? i don't know. i think they probably made sure it was okay first before they did that. >> do you think she asked, is it okay if we do this? hey, secret service, is this okay? >> i think they would if you go anywhere
