what is it? what's his policy?well i think that -- well, i think we're going to find out exactly what his proposal is in september, but we know fundamentally what he believes, about who can pay more to help with the deficit reduction, but also that we probably do have to make some investments to get this country moving again, and so we're not shortchanging our future, either. we've got to worry about the long-term economic health of this country and our competitiveness against our rival it's and the rest of the world, in addition to our short-term jobs creation -- >> you think he should spend more? president obama's position right now, this year in this august of 2011, is the federal government is not spending enough money to create jobs? is that his position? >> i think that we'll see what he proposes in a couple of weeks, specifically on that. but i do think that it's likely that you're going to see him propose some things that are investments in our future. ç >> okay. thanks a lot. sean smith, thanks for coming

what else? good, runner to the fire department. do you have the tools and skills to extinguish a major fire? no, you don't. notify the erd, evacuate -- assist the fire department if we get there, but don't become a victim. smell of gas. what can you do as nerts? turn off the gas. and what are the 3 situations when you want to shut the gas off? smell the gas, something -- oh, yeah, wheels are spinning and major building collapse. muni -- overhead muni wire, flopping around. what can you did as nerts? always assume all electricity is live and hot. so what can you do as nerts? cordon off the area, tell people to stay back. small fires reported in the rear of a building, what can you do as nerts? if it's still burning that small fire is now a very large fire. so all you can do is really notify the erd, evacuate the area, assist the fire department. five buildings have suffered heavy damage -- heavy damage, kind of a clue there. three of the buildings have collapsed. what can you do as nerts? not qui

what i was struck by is what you wrote. they call us wacky. they call us wingnuts. we call us the people. i have met lots of people who are wacky and wingnuts. you can be both. >> it's an exciting time what's going on in the political establishment and the political process right now. that's a quote from my introduction which is a quote from a speech that i gave reminding the reader, reminding the audience that as the establishment pushed back they said the same thing about our . they said the very same thing about the on ligsists. they're extremists. they're naive about the political process. these folks were committed to a vision. they were committed to the greatest good, and they sacrificed and didn't give up. and they turned, you know, these bad times in american history into major breakthroughs. you know, the foreign press corps has called this time the second american revolution. we need to keep moving forward and remember that if we want to enjoy the same fate as the first american revolution, we have to not listen to the name calling and the harassment and t

what comes to my mind is what the heck took so long. was it started -- why wasn't it started at the end of the bush administration? >> you have to ask that question. you look at s&p and the way they did their bond rating, and i do a lot of business law, the fact of the matter was it was pay to play, they get paid and then get paid for the rating. it's an inside job. you have to ask yourself, a, what took so long, the s&p clearly missed a major financial crisis and meltdown, the mortgage-backed security issue, and now you've got an investigation starting frankly it looks like way late. you know, to say we're going to have an investigation 2 1/2 years after the problem was created, that's fine but that doesn't solve the problem and unfortunately, we now have our credit downgrade and the department of justice investigation, and you look at that timing, no one is thinking about those mortgage-backed securities, martha. everybody is thinking about that this could be political payback, whether it is or isn't. martha: interesting. always good

that's what they've said, it's what they've done, and what they will continue to do.at the democrats will do. are they going to go in with similar force and strength, and say, excuse me, you're not going to slash social security, medicare, and medicaid, and we're going to hold the line on that. probably what the fight will evolve into is whether or not we make significant cuts in defense spending. as you know, we have tripled defense spending since 1997. we got weapons systems out there that were designed to fight the soviet union. we can make some significant cuts. i hope the democrats are forceful in that area. >> senator, strategically, that republican position on taxation is a two-pronged thing, because it does obviously completely protect what they want to protect in the tax code. but then it leaves medicare, social security, as the big targets because that's what -- when they look for the money, that's where they see the money. >> right. no, that's right. i'm sorry. >> so are democrats going to unify around this position since republican leaders are basically op

what is holding this up? what is the obstacle? is it all self-inflicted wounds?> well, i think what we've done is we are now sort of 25 years into this idea about how government is... interferes in your life and is bad for your life. now we've got people who have been elected to congress on the basis that they will be uncompromising in their representation of their own constituents as opposed to going to congress in order to find compromises that are good for the whole country. i think we've just gotten to this point where we're so dug in on my particular interest which is likely in many cases no new taxes or don't raise taxes under any circumstance, that we don't have the ability to compromise. >> jon: isn't what they're saying if you just remove taxes and any regulation, suddenly our economy would get back on solid footing and we would once again build railroads.... >> there is some truth to that. there is some truth to that. there's also some truth to the fact that right now wouldn't be a great time to raise taxes. but the government is there to provide some s

what are the indications there? nervousness but mostly, it feels as though the selling, the anticipation of the selling is modest. >> yeah, that's right. and i think that she made a great point. the markets are off their lows and most of the markets here in asia started in negative territory. it was down further than it is now. it is down by about 1.3%. sydney is down by about 1%. taiwan just opened. it is down by 1%. singapore opened down 2%. singapore and taiwan just opened within the past couple minutes. so at least they're off their lows from earlier this morning. it is mostly financial and energy stocks are being dragged down. for australia, a big commodity sell-off last week. so we're seeing the effects of that. but they're off their lows. mainly because of the information that is coming out of g-7. the g-7 finance ministers coming out saying they want to support and sustain growth and also the move by the ecb saying they'll move into the bond buying program. but also, this negative reaction, christine that we

the residents of the hotel told us what the police officer said was not what happens. we trusted them. we looked at the henry hotel. we got video from december 23. and lo and behold, every word of what our clients were telling us were true. two four two. the videos are just a small sample of what some would say is clearly a culture or pattern. and i do want to say that even in my short tenure as defense attorney, i agree with stuart. there are so many good officers, but there are cultures that develop within certain units. i will put it right out there. many of the complaints we hear it involve plainclothes units, and perhaps there is a culture that develops and allows misconduct to happen and continue to happen. so, the public defender's role is unique and natural and i am confident that had we not been doing our jobs with respect to those brought residents of the henry hotel, those would never have surfaced and perhaps the officers would never have had to answer for that conduct.

so teasing out what's affected what. but none of it helps.d news is the underlying strength of corporate balance sheets is still there. so we're so traumatized by 2008 and 2009 that we sometimes kind of fear that we're going to plunge all the way back into that. and i don't really see that as a concern right now because the fundamentals of the system are much less highly leveraged and basically are in better shape than they were three years ago. >> i'm looking at the dow now. it's down 359, changing by the second. but it's a pretty horrendous day. these job numbers, what are you hearing? what are we to expect? >> we're hearing they're not going to be good. it's not good news for the president who's been obviously -- not attacked but has been focused on jobs and at war with his position on jobs for a while now and said, after the debt deal was done, he was going to pivot back to the jobs question which is the umhteenth time the white house has said that. >> this is about policy. last night, the president was in chicago at a fund-raiser where -

it you tell us what your advice would be and also what the science has shown what works and what doesn't? >> at this time, i was just introduced to mr. dierck, and had the opportunity to see what he was doing at his middle school. i was very impressed. my background has been in education since about 1972. this whole movement for social-emotional movement is gathering a lot of momentum. when george anderson developed this and he saw a need in california. his curriculum that he developed is the only one accepted by the courts as well as the prison system because of it's effectiveness. george expanded to that to include emotional intelligence and the 4 components are developing empathy, creating compassion and working collaborative and forgiveness. in developing that, in order to understand what george developed, i have to say that i am a little nervous. you have to excuse me. it's been a while. george is a 70-year old black man who group up in mississippi and was diagnosed as retarded before special education. he was one of 6 people with a nonmedical degree to participate in a harvard stud

what do you think? some people are even suggesting that there is some politics in how the s&p came with this downgrade. >> one thing i think for sure is their name is only half right. they don't have very high standards and their performance is poor. look, they made $2 trillion error which is the exact amount they say the deficit deal or debt reduction deal fell short. when the government pointed that out to them, they said, oh, no, we have a rational. they had a conclusion before an argument and they had an argument to is you sustain the conclusion they wanted to make. these are the exact same people who gave aaa rating to junk bonds and helped contribute to the whole crash under 2008. they have a gig impact. government is writing new regulations for the these rating agencies and i hope they're ear tough and demand transparency because we ought to know what goes into these decisiones. >> dana, does this put more pressure on super committee, this commission that came out of debt ceiling deal to get some

that's what they do. remove as many as they can of permanent employees, hire temporaries, hire part-time, whatever. they don't -- they do overtime and don't like to hire people. why do you or anybody think that cutting corporate taxes, giving business more of a break will get them to do what they know doesn't make money, which is getting rid of permanent employees? >> chris, there's a logic to tax reform in general. the argument would be that if you could get a broader -- cut taxes across the board after getting rid of a lot of loopholes and flattening out the code it would drive consumer demand and you add consumer demand, that go up, it creates a greater demand of products for american corporations and be able to produce more and therefore would have to hire more to produce more. that's the logic. i'm not endorsing it, but that's the logic of those who believe that kind of tax reform would ultimately lead to more and better jobs in america. >> it's your -- if you're right, we're in a lot of trouble here

what's motivation for "proud to be here"? >> you know what?is one is just a little -- it cuts closer to the bone, i think. every -- every album i do is auto biographical in one degree or another. but this one, i think, hit a little closer to home than some that i've done in the past few years, just -- i don't know, it just reflects -- every record i do, too, always reflects my head space at the time, where i'm at, you know, emotionally, mentally, where i'm at. >> you said i lost everything i owned, i went through a divorce a kept chasing women, chasing the dream, staying in trouble but i learned everything you're not supposed to do. i already made all of those mistakes before i got my break. do you still feel that? >> yeah. >> you got it all out of your system? >> yeah. all of those years that i spent paying my dues, so to speak, what everybody calls it, it really starvens. but i did learn what you're not supposed to do, and i think that's as -- if not more important than the lessons you learn about the things to do to be successful. you need

(laughter) scorsese is at the top of his game, so many unbelievable catch phrases that come out of that thing. "dancing with wolves", "tonka." a travesty beyond what people consider... i'm not arguing. >> jon: all right. >> i'm not arguing with you, jon, but if we can get back to europe... >> jon: all right. >> right now it is vital that someone at the very least shoot an arch duke and let nature take its course.

that is what i tend to practice what i preach. >> what did you learn campaigning for supervisor, andas there anything that surprised you? >> that is a great question. i have never run for office before. i am new to the political world. for me, the learning curve was the best he could be. there were a lot of lessons to be learned in running a race in san francisco. a few that stick in my mind -- money does matter. raising money. that is the simple, somewhat unfortunate fact of life. i think really having a message that resonates with voters, not just saying you want to be a politician, but you have to really explain why you, and i think that was really court to what we did. most importantly, the one thing i drew out of it was the hard work and other determination is the thing that will, i think, allow you to succeed more than anything else. i believe that the candidates who won this past november with the ones who worked the hardest in their races. >> what are the biggest issues facing san francisco? >> i believe the biggest ones are economic problems right now. we face was estimated

debt so what happens over there clearly affects what happens over here very greatly the unemployment situation there they don't think that these decisions that have been made in the past this week are going to do anything all of that and you know if americans don't have jobs they also aren't spending money and in many cases that means asian exports so really the confidence is low over here right now and it's not a great shock to many analysts who predicted at the beginning of the week that this the stalling of the stocks was potentially going to happen in the near future ok thank you very much for that update. reporting live there from india. our reaction and insight from america from george who is an expert in helping us firms expand internationally let's cross live to have it now thank you very much like mr coo for being on the program with us now is in the financial where it's all about confidence all about the market perception so how damaging is this a reduction in credit rating to america's reputation. well i think it's a blow. of course all the three rating agencies only sanja

what's your policy? >>> it takes a unique set of skills to work with the teen offenders inside pendleton juvenile. >> keys. >> "d" complex presents some of the prison's biggest challenges for program director mia black. >> is it frustrating? absolutely. is it rewarding? absolutely. i've had offenders that you want to shake and say snap out of it, grow up, you need to go home, and they just don't grasp it. i have had a lot of success stories. so although the rewards can be few and far between, when you see them, it gives you a purpose to be here. what's up you guys? >> it's up to mia to dissect the issues between edgar muniz's meltdown. he's had trouble passing the five levels for release. earlier in the day, he was told he was back to level one. >> i'm on level one. >> don't cry. don't cry. don't cry. why are you crying? >> cause i talked to my mom and sawyer, he told my mom i was going to get out probably in four weeks. >> don't cry. don't cry. hold on. i'm going to make my best effort to get kids to tr

you know what herbert hoover says in the sense that. it's through the price mechanism and keynes recognized this is. that we often get ourselves out of recessions and usually it's because interest rates get low this is what's so scary now interest rates are lower and. you know classical macroeconomists would have called the liquidity trap where interest rates are so low they can't get below zero and that tool is really gone but here we are at this point depends upon borrowing large sums of money at very low interest rates and not really ties or hands as far as you know our ability to continue borrowing i think if the piece that we've been in borrowing it's often what in just twenty thirty seconds or what should we be doing. well you know how crude man talks about raising more about about actually having more stimulus through the olds in a noisy and working in an ideal world. or weren't already the size of our total income in the economy that might be something we can do but i don't think it is and not with the debt crisis in the years a

what you have to do is sit tight and see what happens.he good news is that your 401(k), if you buy on the next pay daring it will buy more than it bought last payday. that is a little gal owes humor. >> the bad news is the value has been sliding. >> here's the worst news. the worst news is everybody is thinking october 2008. my goodness, it is happening all over again. they're sitting there watching. >> is it happening again? >> i don't know. my gut feeling tell me we're in for a rough ride. i don't think we'll have too many more days of 634 points down on the dow but i think you've got people going, oh, my goodness. here we go again. the low was march of 2009. that was six long, long months. the question is do people have the wherewithal and the gouts just stick it out. >> we're seeing the deval you'vation of banks hemorrhaging today. especially bank of america, aig taking a hit. should people be looking for value in stocks right now? looking for some kind of that's on activity? is it a time to invest? >> you want the diversified port fo

what's special about it? what's important about it? >> the key thing is the following: number one the tanky valley is a corridor through the province into kabul. the province is basically on the southwestern doorstep of the nation's capital. and americans for the past couple of years have paid a lot of attention to helmand and kandahar province. further to the south. you know, closer to pakistan. this is on the other side of the capital. it's right next to the capital. apparently you get this from military officials that, you know, they're trying... they have their so-called ring around afghanistan. you get the sense the taliban are doing much the same thing. they are sort of gathering around the capital. karzai for a long time has been called the mayor of kabul. it's looking like that's the taliban strategy right now. >> warner: why did the u.s. ground forces leave the one operating base they had in this tangy valley and what happened? >> basically they pulled out in the spring because we're preparing to build down. and our ticket out

what's your message? >> well, i think i think we bring a very realistic common sense approach to, first of all, recognizing the situation that we face, which is a desperate dire difficult economic set of circumstances where you got high unemployment, record debt, the most difficult economic situation since the depression and people hurting and people not just hurting, but people downright frightened about their circumstances and about their future. so i think in order to address that, three things are going to be important as we go forward. i think i bring all three of these to the race. one, private sector experience where you have got somebody who understands the fragility and the importance of the free market and what it means to job creation going forward, because as far as the eye can see into the 21st century, we have been creating jobs as a country. you need a president who understands the dynamic of the free market system, number two, having someone who has been a successful chief executive, a gov

[laughter] so you got a bunch of stuff, though, that could be recorded. >> we got a lot of stuff. a lot of ideas. a lot of beginnings. tavis: if i could sing, i would take a leiber/stoller composition any day. >> give us a half-hour.
