michigan last weekend and michigan said it's really serious problems particularly since fritz rick snyder is governor and. driving around i mean this is i was driving a rental car but i don't think that there's much left of that suspension you know with all the potholes in the badly repaired roads. that's an obvious cost you know the cost of of repairing cars or placing cars but you're saying this goes way beyond that i like so many of these things where they talk about cutting spending or cutting government spending what they're really doing is they're just shifting that spending and often when they shift back spending a great increases in what we have spent so far deferring on the main on the maintenance of our infrastructure. since the reagan tax cuts we now have a less competitive economy we're each paying these large cost parents where we're seeing the plane delays because of the air traffic system all these other things that we're having problems with here's a key thing about this these are all jobs that have to get done anyway we've been putting off dams or you know you can't put o

they remind me a lot, the republicans, of david snyder, owner of the redskins.xactly the republicans problem. >> nia, do you think that we are,ç when we see eric cantor, who was offusly overshadowing boehner at one point and then boehner today go on and brace them and say we're together. do you think this is more real than mr. boehner's trying to pretend today that there's a real threat to his leadership if this does not come out right? >> well, we will see tomorrow. that's the big test. he has it figure out if he can get the 217 votes for this bill, which will probably then be at least in his mind, the blueprint for some sort of negotiations to raise the debt ceiling. i think one of the things that a speaker obviously has to dos well is to set up all of the reelection prospects for the members. so the question in 2012, did the speaker pro individual a viegs, rational off of their candidacy and rational for a republican presidency. so i think that's the real test and there will be many other moments the next couple of months as the presidential race unfolds and

two weeks ago when ann chapman saw what she described as a healthy baby bear here at the corner of snyderhill court and wood burn. and then this morning -- >> i got a phone call about ten after 7:00 this morning, and it was my husband who is going into work, and he said, okay, the sighting is real, i just went past the mother bear and the cub exactly where ann, our next door neighbor had mentioned the previous sighting. >> reporter: and now the people who live in this picturesque and rural setting are a little worried. >> i was a little alarmed, because i thought well, if there is a baby bear, there is a mommy bear somewhere, and with the kids and dogs around, i was concerned. >> we are going to see them this time of year. when is the time of year when the 2-year-old cubs, so last year's cubs, are being kicked out of the nest by mom, and they're trying to find a place of their own. and, unfortunately, as dense as we are, especially in loudoun county with population, they don't have as many spaces as they once did. so they have to travel longer distances to find that place of of their own.

it's called zoom snyder's. soccer fan and you're in lower manhattan, this is the place to be. obviously, the u.s. fans not happy with the outcome. but, you know, they took their licks and also said, hey, it was a great game. here's how one fan summed it up. >> it's heartbreaking, the result. congrats to japan, though. they needed it the most. that's really all you can say. >> reporter: anyway, in the end, everyone agrees, it's good for the game. especially for young people coming up. they like to see soccer become more popular. i know we talk about this every time world cup games come up. but it's the truth. and everyone loves the game. they really got involved here. and after all, you know, they said next time, four more years, right, don? >> it's good stuff. but we have to remember it's only a game. susan, in the 1999 players became american heroes and cultural icons. tharm? can these players have a similar impact on the game even though they lost? >> reporter: oh, yeah. it's kind of hard to hear because it's

let's get a hold of it instead of just typing and not being brave like john snyder and a few others.k about this. when the book came out, i have my book launch party, we had a bunch of, a bunch of hollywood conservatives who were present there. one of the people said let's do this, let's have an out of closet tsunami. let's show everyone where here. we are here, we're conservative and we are proud. people said and i think rightly so they're afraid of losing their job. the problem is the conservative movement has not provide the infrastructure yet to where there's no risk to. if your people out there who are really funny the concert film and tv business to the tune of millions of dollars, to be a lot less fear. it's unfortunate reality but even people who are big names in industry, i've talked about like patricia shiu, probably the biggest conservative star in industry right now. when i interviewed her for this book and i don't feel bad saying this because in the past three weeks she has, in sessions to scrimmage against in hollywood. she doesn't appear in the book, when i interviewed

the funeral case had a component to it involving an online screed against their parents of corporal snyder, which the court completely declined to address it all and instead look at it as a type of dinner plates. the videogame case again had the potential of looking at whether this new medium has something different than the other new media that arose over the centuries, but instead decided it did not impose either unanimous word you unanimous holdings getting to that resold. we have as well i suppose we should be grateful for arizona's contribution to the supreme court docket with the tuition tax credit case in the clean elections case which was perhaps again i say the clean elections case the perhaps most predictable outcome, the other a little less so. but then we had the continuing outside so it justice kennedy and the perhaps interesting the business of finding out what it is thick and they tend to these during results. for instance, in the california presents case, he was greatly concerned with the assault to the dignity of a meet who held it unconstitutional conditions entering the

two of the big one, the funeral protest case, snyder vs. phelps an the video game case, brown vs. entertainment software association. both of those cases brought with them the chance to explore first amendment issues in the internet era and they ended up not really doing that at all. the funeral case had a component to it involving an online screed against the parents of corporal snyder which the court declined to address at all an instead looked at it as a time and place type of case. the video game case is a look at whether the new medium had something different about it other than the -- than the other new media. they decided it didn't at all and nearly unanimous holdings getting to that result. we had as well, i suppose we should be greatful for arizona's outsize contribution to the supreme court docket with the immigration case, the tax case and the clean elections case, which depen, i say the clean elections case being perhaps the most predictableout come, the other two a little less so. but then we have the continuing outsize role of justice kennedy and the perhaps interest

from his time as a venture capitalist, governor snyder can tell us that there's surely a right time for vc money to back a new idea. but the truth is if we want big breakthrough innovations to drive our economy, there is simply no substitute for strong, sustained federal funding for advanced early stage research. it's that kind of funding that generated the i.t. and biotech innovation waves. few technology sectors right now on the launch pad are posed to spur new innovation waves and the jobs that go with them. clean energy, robotics, advanced material, convergence of life science and engineers and biomedicine and beyond. these waves are hang in the balance. will we let other nation's lead them, or will we seize their potential for america's workers? we we let congress take away research funding, we will lose out on the innovation waves and the jobs that come with them. rule four, innovation clusters are powerful and they get stronger as they grow. many of you have had the experience in your states. fortunately, innovations don't pop up randomly, we actually make them happen. bringing u
