for me, this go-around, my company's called uber, and our motto is "everyone's private driver."s, in cities across the country and around the world, there hasn't been a good teran five for getting a ride in the city. the only alternative was taxis. and because of that, they've been very protective from any kind of alternative or any kind of competition. >> and it's interesting, because they still are pretty protective in many cities. you have the cab drivers, you have the other black car services in the cities banning together, saying we don't want uber here, because if uber comes here, we have new competition, but that's the whole idea behind the service. >> well, look, in almost every industry out there, competition is a good thing, right? you have choice of restaurants, you have a choice of dry cleaners, you have a choice of almost everything you do out in any city. but for one reason or another, in transportation, they've found a way to work with city governments and lobbies so that there was no competition, and it's been that way for decades. and so, when you bring a compet

newt gingrich is an error lobbyist -- uber lobbyist. barney frank talk about michele bachmann. he also called out newt gingrich and said he held him responsible for the demonization of opponents that has contributed to the atmosphere we live in today. i do think he came into the house. he slashed all of the caucasus and civility. we are seeing this. this is a man who a few days ago talked about education reform in the context of firing the janitors in schools and putting the kids to work. a lot of the media called that unconventional. [laughter] let's repeal child labor laws that we fought hard for in this country. bring in dickens to chronicle it. i do think there is the cruelty amidst the reality show debates we have been subjected to. who is running this, entertainment or news? there is a cruelty when people cheer that someone dies without health care or bbo a soldier that dies in iraq. >> i am joking about herman cain. he is a guy who cannot hide the truth well. that makes me more comfortable with the idea that i know who he is about so i can make a decision. >> are you tal

that's the uber spin right there. i agree with jonas, we might be in this 8% and i hope we're not headed more toward europe, greece edging closer to 20% unemployment, but that may be the way. the bottom line, i don't think we're going to enter nor recession and it feels awful now, but we've been in kind of this awful mode for a while. i think in order for us to get worse, right now, housing prices would have to go into another slump, and flat line. and consumer spending would really have to drop off the cliff and that's flat line. unemployment would have to start getting back up to towards 10% and while i don't-- >> and right now, flat lining, shall we do that? and that's know the what we're talking about. >> yeah, i think we're just moving side ways through this muck and it's awful. it feels very european, as i said in the past, very european without the good food and that's the-- >> and well, we could argue about that, but, toby, if it feels like a recession to two-thirds of americans? is it a recession? they're not

now, uber is performing taxi service -- not a taxi.limos at hotels are performing taxi service. when people ask for a taxi, they get pushed into a limo. that has to be controlled. [tone] >> next speaker, please. good afternoon. >> i am a san francisco taxi driver for 16 years. i cannot believe that the medallion list would be done away with. i have been waiting and been doing my time and i cannot believe intelligent people would rob other intelligent people of an opportunity that they have been waiting for, that i have signed up for, that i've been driving in this city and serving in the city. please, do the right thing and keep those medallions that are coming out for the drivers that deserve them we have been working. we have been putting in our time. you have no right to take that from us. that is what we signed on the dotted line for. that is what the contracts are for. if the contract is not up held, some action will come from it. the people on the list deserve the cab's before thea"s corporae companies, before the big companies.

my sense is that we're hearing is who the uber alles of the your c.e.o. of other wiki leaks copycats i mean more and more citizens media activists want to see this kind of trees grows or sort of the trees grows into a big that wiki leaks has opened the door to a new form of citizen media that would be your very important future kevin zeese thanks so much for coming on the short notice there antiwar activist and attorney and member of course of the bradley manning support group as i said earlier on thanks so much and. writes will follow up with more that little bit later of course as we get more details let's catch up on the business now that's coming to twenty five minutes past eleven at night moscow time to be trees and other business they're still dimitri tech giants tumbling down today tell us more well groupon is down twenty six percent in just one session and a release that second quarter earnings report and it's pretty disappointing so basically these huge companies like groupon or facebook which had very significant i.p.o. over the past year now th

i am an insane like uber libertarian. the government would have this responsibility to defend us and to throw stuff at other planets. but being an astronaut is one of the most -- actually it is the most dangerous job we can have in this country. >> you never know -- you will never know if you were coming back, but there was nobody on that thing. >> nobody on this particular one. you have literal rocket scientists with almost unlimited budgets until we slashed it. and years of preparation, and they still managed to kill more people than like relatively speaking than coal mining. it is frightening and terrifying. go nasa. >> that's why i turned down my astronaut gig, tom. i am a little depressed by mars because i grew up with science fiction where it was exciting. martians. you go there and there are no martians. i am pissed. >> i am reading a lot of art will cays lately where people -- articles lately where people talk about the climate on mars is evidence that it was -- of global warming. >> and they will send pictures ba

this was not an editorial choice, this uber-liberal news wig this was an economy one, the president should be worried, it proves that hope is small change to publishers. it does not sell magazines any more and it does not make money any more. you can't make dough . try to convince people in this administration is making them dough . and liberals by questioning his opponent's firsties has not been a financial barnstormer last time i checked old "newsweek" january cover, did not sell out. probably because it is wrong. probably because even the most wide-eyed liberals realize there is no money in it hence "newsweek"'s move to the right, this is defending the left and the right, either way barack obama should just read it and weep, he is not only failing at making his political case, but his policies are losing his financial case. it is not liberals do not still believe it, but they have discovered there is no money in it, that could be the most worrisome sign of all for the white house, saying his biggest backers must not be make money off him like he used to. singing his praising as presiden

well, obviously i'm not, you know, uber thrilled with the results, but i'm pleased, very pleased withfort because i had a lot of setbacks this year. the injuries were, you know, they kept coming, and i fought through it all, you know, i made the team and even when a lot of people said i wouldn't make the olympic team. so just to fight through all of that, i'm proud of myself. it wasn't the fastest i've ran in my life, but i'm pleased. >> there is tremendous pressure that an olympian puts on oneself and coaches and corporate sponsors. from which has the pressure really been the toughest? >> well, i think you hit all of them. they're all kind of equal because you have the corporate sponsors that invest in you, and, you know, they actually make the dream financially possible because without them you can't train, you can't travel. so you have a lot of pressure to help make sure that you're making their effort into you worth it all and then your family, like, to see my family afterward they're going to say they're proud regardless, but i can just feel like i just let them down, and also ju

the radio talk show star and uber best selling author says there is a reason, a personal reason and as doing so. why, dave? >> well this paul ryan thing is a big deal. it is not so much paul ryan, and it is not republican versus democrat. it is the simple principal of americans have been standing around saying with their mouths. we will see if they will back it up with their vote, but they say we need to cut spending and coming needs to get spending under control. this young man has been trying to do that. he has taken a lot of heat. he has done it with a lot of class, and he has presented some difficult sacrificial cuts. but that is what will have to happen to balance this. you can't spend your way out of stupidity. you have to cut the spending. everybody said cut spending, cut spending, cut spending. now you have a guy to vote for. the guy one heart from the presidency has hoof in mouth disease. he can't open his mouth without saying something stupid. it is out of control. out of the four of them running this guy is my favorite of the whole bunch, and it is on fiscal policy alone. >

of social issues election we have seen in the past in a national race, but if ryan looks like this uber-conservative0, romney from the primaries, romney, who has changed all these positions, that is a connective tissue with all the other ways that he is coming down to the right. >> speaking of mitt romney, the presumptive republican presidential nominee is now speaking at an ohio coal mine, there to highlight how his energy policy differs from that of the president. it's interesting because we are talking about the big issues which is fiscal policy, budget, social programs, the american social safety net, women's issues, social issues, and the two folks running for the highest office in the land are talking about wind energy, which certainly is not an unimportant thing, but if you talk about what's on the mind of voters, i don't think -- >> well, in iowa, it's a big deal. there's a lot of wind farms and jobs there. >> exactly. if you talk about winning iowa, that's a different story entirely. i think ari, to your point, patricia, to yours, too, on face value, i understand how conservative women or s

not just the kind of luxury end but the uber luxury end.hini is unveiling two new models this week. tell us about these. >> these are incredible. looking at the pictures, one of them is one we saw over at the beijing auto show. this is called the urus. they call it the first suv and technically you go back a couple of decades with another suv and a high end suv they plan to sell for at least $160,000. it's limited in terms of supply, guys. and the key is there are people who will buy a lamborghini suv and some people as soon as it was unveiled in beijing said you can't have a luxury suv from lamborghini. you're ruining the dna. you know what? they sell them and that's the bottom line for lamborghini. >> that's not a suv, right? like the x-6 bmw, a mish mosh of a real suv and a car. >> listen. are you going to drive this -- are you going to drive it offroad? no. you and i know that. the only people to buy this are probably going to be driving it in extremely high end neighborhoods or limited edition model. that's the only reason to buy it. >

this is an uber-important series for you guys against a team in the standings and you win it the way you did. walk me through that last play. >> the plan was to go on contact so anything on the ground i was taking off on. back to the pitcher, obviously, trying to get the run down. but tracy -- dan made a nice play to keep the ball in the infield. but he still has to make a great throw. so my idea -- second ball was hit, i'm going full speed and hopefully throw. >> reporter: i know you guys are used to winning, because you've been winning all season. but when somebody asks you who you play for and they say the nationals, the best team in baseball, is that a little strange to digest after what you've gone through the first couple years with this organization? >> it's not really strange, i guess. it's different. it's just different. we go from being one of the worst teams in baseball to having the best record in baseball. the amount of attention you get, the amount of media. it's something you have to get used to. it's a totally different atmosphere. but it's a lot better atmosphere. >>

according to our calculations by our uber intelligent political unit, there are 15 swing states in this the ones in light blue are leaning obama. the ones -- here we go. imagine a map. the ones in yellow, those are the tossup states, the undecided ones that could obviously vote either way at least at this point in time. >> and our christine romans is taking a closer look at those key undecided states to gauge how the important issue of jobs may affect voters there. what do you i >> jobless rates in 44 states rose in july. where it matters most in politics is in the so-called swing states. i see your map. i raise you another map. let's focus on these undecided states. the most obvious metric to measure the jobs rate is the unemployment rate. this shows what happened in those states since president obama took office. red states because the jobless rate went up. green states because it's gone down since the president was in office. let's start out with the states that are the worst. nevada, 12% unemployment in nevada. colorado, also 8.3%. florida, look at that, 8.8%. florida has 29 delegat

but it has been an uber scene since before obamacare was shoved down our throats that somehow if we didn'tvery day, would and that republicans would be blamed for them. i think it's a good way to remind people of just how many fables this administration has spun. going back to, of course, obama's own mother and the invocation of her cancer experiences as somehow an urgent example of why we need obamacare. of course, that turned out to be a fable as well. remember, that barak obama basically said that his mother was fighting with insurance companies while she was on her death bed. and it turned out, according to a "new york times" reporter, jenny scoot, she had her insurance. they reimbursed her for all her costs and the dispute that he was hyping was completely separate from the one that he made up as some sort of poster example for obamacare. >> brian: were you surprised that when the president heard the remarks mentioned in virginia, even though the vice president thought he was in north carolina, insinuating the chains comment -- >> steve: put y'all back in chains. >> brian: were you su
