remember that bridge, thomas, in minnesota that collapsed?at was structurally deficient for 17 years. they knew it was -- and by the way, that bridge and 75,000 other bridges were structurally deficient. well, guess what happens? 140,000 people still went on that eight-lane bridge until it finally collapsed. well, in pennsylvania, we have 4,000 bridges that are structurally deficient. and again, 75,000 across the country. do we want -- in that case, there was 13 people that were killed. do we want more kids being killed because we're not willing to invest in infrastructure? we've got to be smart as a country and say we've got to invest and make not just wasteful spending, proper investments to make sure our families are safe, bridges are safe, roads are safe, gun control is safe. i mean, those type of things we absolutely need to do. >> investment in the future needs to start earlier looking down the road. patrick murphy, thank you, sir. i appreciate it. e over to mission a for a final go. this is for real this time. step seven point two one

suddenly the tables turned on clarence thomas and there was a public spectacle.ppen? >> absolutely, i expected some reaction. and i knew that there would be a lot of negative reaction. but let me just go back and correct one thing. remember, there was controversy even early on in the confirmation process. the american bar association had looked at his record and gave him one of the lowest ratings that it had ever given. there were a number of individuals from civil rights organizations who had come forward to testify that this was not a good nomination, that this was a nomination that was going to set us all back as a country. so that was there. but then, as you say, nothing really like what happened once my testimony took place. and i stand by that testimony. it was the right thing to do. and i'll tell you why. people say, well, it was a sexual harassment claim against him. but really it was testimony about the integrity of the individual who was going to be appointed for a lifetime position. >> what was interesting to me at the time was the way in which the bla

(thomas schatz) at the b level, the emphasis is genre, formula.nd it's without question, the emphasis is on efficiency. just turning out the product like sausages. but in dealing with top talent, you're dealing with people who have certa notion of their role in the process. and they areware they're producing top product. there was a lot of creative conflict and negotiation particularly above the line. particularly involving producer writer, director, star. mr. von elsen, am i to understand that you consider this scene complete? i do. well, i don't. you call that directing? that is what i've been calling it for 32 years. to be a director, you must have imagination. whosimagination, m sears, yos or mine? it'll be done your way, but not by me and not by any other director who respects himself. (edward dmytryk) howard hawks had the greatest technique if a producer came on the set, he would say to the prop man, "hey, come on, bring a chair over here." and he'd say to the producer, "come on, sit down, let's chat." and everybody else would go off the set

much agree with us in washington i don't think i could improve upon that definition of marriage ok thomas what about your union civil unions isn't that enough for gay people or gay people say it isn't but what do you think well i think it's very interesting why i think it's very interesting that the cost of civil unions were considered for a time to be a compromise that both sides can agree on and it's really the crypt the pro gay marriage advocates that that every move that common ground and so now we have all false choice between either redefining marriage or not legally recognizing other types of unions and so you know for one i'd be interested in looking at legal protections for gay people absolutely but redefining marriage is not the best way to do it and sadly i would say i would i would offer that it's the other side that it's remove that compromise position ok peter in london how would you respond to that well. to me love is very important and it is a social good and when people love each other that's something society should validate if you believe in marriage then you should wel

i'm thomas roberts. topping our agenda today, must-see tv. the address that will set the stage for the second half of the obama presidency, and the president is expected to expand his agenda, laying out the goal markers that will define his legacy in office, with a focus on the economy and job creation. >> to mobilize the american people, build support for his proposals, and push the republicans through public pressure and through public opinion. proposals to grow the economy, to deal with immigration, to address gun violence, that have majority support in the country. >> the question remains, will the president strike a softer tone than he did in his inaugural address? will he reach across the aisle, or draw another line in the sand? >> this is the last best shot he has to move the needle. there's a little more pressure on the president to have an effective state of the union, because this is, you know, this is the window for him to -- if he's ever going to motivate congress to do it. >> well, domestic issues will dominate the evening, the w

thomas? >> thank you so much. joining me here in the studio rikki kleman, criminal analyst and attorney. your impressions of desmond nar taking two hours to finally reveal bail or not. what is your impression of how he handled this? >> i thought he was terrific because this is a proceeding that many people all over the world are watching, so what he wanted to show, which he did show, is fundamental fairness, a complete understanding of the evidence presented by both sides. and ultimately, what michelle reports is correct. there are only two questions here. the question is is he a danger to the community and, much more important, is he a risk of flight? and i think he made the correct decision despite the fact that many people may criticize him. >> one thing they went over pretty in depth during that two hours is the amount of cash that is available to oscar pistorius, the amount of values placed on his real estate investments in south africa, and elsewhere, and some of his finances that, cash available, liquid ass

thomas, she was a hero in the truest sense of the word. gave the last fullmer of her devotion to this fight for equality, for her own family first. karen and casey are doing as well as can be expected. i know that they appreciate the support that they have received from service members and allies, gay and straight, all around the country in these days. i think that they're encouraged by this announcement, but i think that they know that this isn't all that charlie was fighting for. there's so much more to be done. >> do you think that people like karen would be grand he fathered in? >> our organization is going fight to the end to insure that karen and her family are cared for in charlie's absence. in the end, though, thomas, this comes down to the supreme court. i hope they're watching. as these events unfold, charlie's untimely passing, the pentagon finally making this move after two years of waiting. the only way is to strike down the defense of marriage act. >> we will certainly be watching as that unfolds mechanics month. again, our b

but thomas died. strangely, the week before our couple weeks before thomas died in an interview with the "chicago tribune," because there've been two shootings across the street from our house and a couple of months before that, and he was the president of the park advisory counsel, and in the interview i'll read a direct quote. he said, when people think of the southside chicago, they think violence. and he went on to say, we are going to fix it so it doesn't happen again. so thomas is dead, obviously, but i'm here today, my parents are here today. i see all of these families are here today because we still believe we can fix it. so outside the standard this hearing has been called a discussed the ways we can respect the second amendment and protect our communities. i have to be very honest and of those are some of the people left the cubs i was very, i'm confused as to where we're having disagreement about this. like i said, i understand the law. i respect our constitution, but to me this isn't abou

thomas told west the ball was meant for kids. prosecutors say west helped channel funds from a program meant to keep kids off drugs to help pay for the ball. meanwhile, after the hearing, us attorney ronald maychen issued a statement saying millicent west was by all accounts a dedicated public servant who was truly committed to the mission of serving young people in the district of columbia. unfortunately as we have seen too many times, she agreed to break the law to appease a crooked public official who was intent on carrying out a public scheme. she'll be back in court in three months when a judge will sentence her. it is possible she could serve time in prison. in the newsroom, matt ackland, fox 5 news. >>> an arlington resident says someone broke into her kitchen and stole her dinner. she says the burglar stole her chicken from the crock pot as it was cooking. it happened on tuesday in an apartment on south carlin springs road. arlington police aren't sure how the chicken disappeared. but whoever took it left the vegetables b

now no i mean go ahead go jump in washington thomas go ahead go ahead if that were true peter if that were true peter then then then cameron should be urging a public vote on marriage as the people of france a million people in france and paris turned out a couple weeks ago demanding precisely that from holland a chance to vote on marriage and so whenever gay marriage advocates say all the people support it the last thing they ever want to do is actually let the people decide in america that's what organization is founded upon and thirty three times out of thirty four people have voted to protect marriage the vast majority of americans have voted to protect marriage even as public polling will claim that majority of people support gay marriage what's actually happening is that people are scared to say what their personal beliefs are on marriage and given the privacy of the voting booth when given the tools of democracy they always and consistently have voted to protect marriage in the vast majority of cases and so i really think that the opinion polls don't matter the only poll that m
