as you know, july is recreation and parks month in the united states of america. since 1985 america has celebrated july as the official recreation and parks month and we want everyone in san francisco talking about what they love about their recreation and parks and why it's so vital in their lives. so not only hosting the most exciting events of the year, america's cup and it will include the launch of the sf rec and park instagram photo contest and include a downloadable map, inviting visitors and several openings of our parks that i will highlight in a second. june was pretty good too. one of the most exciting events of this past month was the grand re-opening of [ lafayette park, where i had the pleasure of being joined by commissioners low and levitan and i number of long, long list of elected notables. the park has undergone a major facelift as part of the clean neighborhoods and parks bond and really one of san francisco's most beautiful parks. it's absolutely stunning, if you have not yet seen it. from the incredibly unique view at the summit of the park,

and the confederate states of america, with jefferson davis as the president, become a nation to the south of the uniteds of america. and that opens up a whole new world, a world that we can only imagine because it never existed. but think for a minute of the united states from baltimore all the way down through around florida, down along the gulf coast to the end of texas, that would all be a foreign territory. it would not be part of the united states. in fact, the united states would have no real access to either the atlantic or the caribbean except for a narrow path from baltimore north as far as boston, and beyond that it's sort of not very good harbors anyway. so all of a sudden the great coast, the atlantic coast of the united states is narrowed down to a point where it can easily be blockaded, everything has to be funneled through there. it doesn't mean the united states would collapse of its own weight. it means that the united states would no longer have anywhere near the presence in the western hemisphere in terms of dealing with british intervention or french intervention. and i remind my re

matter of fact when it comes to foreign aid and humanitarian assistance america's record is actually very poor as a percentage of g.d.p. european countries contribute far more than the united states so if you're just going to do it in terms of a force for good america's record on that level is much worse than that of the european states but even leaving aside the question of the humanitarian assistance i mean you've got to consider well. what about the geo political agenda and that is where many people in the world do have very serious problems and it's precisely the elites. you have kind of being disparaging about the elites but it is the elites who are in many countries that actually follow us dictates against the wishes of its people i mean when we think of all of the recent wars were we thinking of the invasion of iraq where with the way thinking of the bombing of libya when we thinking now of the upcoming arming of the syrian rebels and then going back further to the bombing of yugoslavia what was widespread opposition among the people not among the elites among the people to their countries getting involved in these american i was and it was the elites that actually where y

of anything goes. well, i say to them tonight there is not a liberal america and a conservative america, there is the united stateserica. there is not a black america and a white america and latino america and asian america, there is the united states of america. the pundits -- the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states. red states for republicans, blue states for democrats. but i've got news for them, too. we worship an awesome god in the blue states and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states. we coach little league in the blue states, and, yes, we have some gay friends in the red states. >> when he said at that apex of that speech we do not like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states, what he was -- that was july 2004, what he was referencing there librarians around the country sounding the alarm they're being told to cooperate with efforts to spy on people's efforts in libraries. it was not without worry. fbi agents showed up at the door of a library and delivered a letter demanding subscriber information and billin

reconstruction and eventually to the creation of what i call the pop had in the southern united states of america. so if you look. in a 20 year period we saw the beginning of the end of the full citizenship in the country. so by the time robert smalls died, [inaudible] and died a financially not near as well off as he once was. and so i have spent a lot of time talking about the history. you'd figure this out before it would happen again. and you can see all of the speculation about what it's going to do. the most important civil rights act of 1965 and most experts think that that's about to come to a specific end. programs of the affirmative action means you can't be passing. you have to take positive steps to overcome the current defect of past discrimination. it isn't going to happen by itself. if you bring that to a close, and there are people letter speculating that is about to happen. i saw one of the legal scholars and the country who was saying that he believes chief justice roberts to aid to the civil rights movement as we know it i don't know if anybody can look at the numbers and see t

if you didn't, why aren't you in the united states of america facing the music? some of the information we do know certainly brings up issues with the fourth amendment and privacy and when the government tells me today as they did, we're on the same team, we're trying to help you. we know a government's abused their powers and i don't trust the government and i think we've seen over the last month how many different ways we've been let down by the government and shouldn't be trusting them because look at how. irs did things and how the justice department targeted journalists. they have gone outside the lines and i think that's something we have to look at. >> let's see what glen greenwald the reporter from the guardian who broke this story, what he told anderson cooper a little earlier this evening. >> if it were really my goal to do what people in washington are accusing me of, i could have just published that and what he was saying was that's something i choose not to do and would not do and let me just add that from the beginning of our interactions with mr. sn

and to those who choose the path of peace, i promise you, the united states of america will support you every step of the way, we'll always be a wind at your back and as i said when i visited two years ago, i'm convinced that this little island that inspires the biggest of things, this little island, its best days are yet ahead. good luck. god bless you. and god pless all of the people of northern ireland. thank you. >>> good morning, everyone. welcome to "way too early" on monday, june the 17th. you were watching and listening to president obama in northern ireland, in preparation for the g-8 summit. he talked quite a bit about peace to that audience and that progress was essential to peace. of course, those were prepared remarks at the belfast water front. we'll meet with david cameron and this evening we'll have private talks with russian president vladimir putin where it's expected the two leaders will discuss the escalating conflict in syria. from the reception he got in northern ireland he seems to be wildly popular there. in terms of that popularity only 36% of europeans approve

give me some time to have a dialogue not my son and convince him sentiments against the united states of america any other country, yet i got no response from the u.s. government. on thee was no effort side of the united states government that they wanted to toture anwar and put him trial. believe me, if the united states government gave me concrete evidence against anwar, i would have done my best to convince anwar to come to sanaa or even to the united states and paid a price. but it was on the allegations. for example, mr. obama in his speech claimed anwar was the former director of al qaeda operations in yemen. this is a big lie. al qaeda never claimed anwar was a member of the organization. he had an office or any official standing in that organization. even anwar himself never said anything regarding that he is a member of al qaeda. so it is a complete lie. i am really astonished that the american president who made an oath that he would protect the american constitution would say something like this against an who has neveren been linked to any crime and was not given the chance to come t
