the style of the jail reflects yesteryear, about 50 years ago plus how jails were made. people were sardines in our custody. we cannot get programs in the jails because of how poor the architecture provides for that opportunity. it borders on inhumane if not inhumane altogether. the headge the mindset of myself at yourself or the board of supervisors and seven in san francisco it would be ideal if we did not been to jail. the courts are going to keep sentencing, the police are going to keep arresting and the d's are going to continue to prosecute. in many not just general population -- while they are in our custody i wanted to be in a secure and safe environment that anybody both taxpayer and shared with agree on but we also want to be a rehabilitative environment and that's been the problem with jails 3 and 4. historically it has not been allowed to be that and we cannot get the kind of wraparound management where we introduce programming that one would hope would help toward successful transition back into society. that is what's going on there. the bottom line is we w

from of our favorite bits from yesteryear. >> today, highlights of this show's 11 great years. chris: hi, i'm chris matthews and welcome to this special highlights edition of this show. we're looking back at how this show reflects the history and especially politics of our 11 >>> breaking news coming into the nbc bay area news room. are bart workers going on strike in the news conference underway shortly in oakland. we hope to have a live shot of that for you. let's take it live. >> the members and workers at bart and the riding public and they have been completely unresponsive to any of our concerns about safety. we expected an economic proposal from bart that would do more than give the workers exactly one dollar a year more than they currently make for each of the next four years. if you look at bart's proposal as we have very closely, they expect these workers who have had a wage freeze for each of the last four years, and who have made $100 million in concessions for all of the last four years to in fact make -- have an increase of four dollars in four years from now, a to

the 3% story is a story of yesteryear. if we look at how potential output us computed, we're looking at a decline in the trend of the labor force participation rate, and productivity growth is slower, so if we take those two components into consideration, we're looking at only a 2.5% for a potential output. >> tom, what's your take on the overall economy right now? i mean, if we've got 1.5%, would you be happy with that? >> well, i think it's always a question of where expectations are. you know, we've been in sort of the low growth camp for really the bulk of this recovery, and nothing has changed for us in that regard. continue to look for 2% growth for the full year. second half a little better but one thing i like to say to clients is having a discussion on whether it's a 1.8% year or 2.2% year really misses the point. the question is when do you finally get to the 3% hurdle as you highlighted? and the key there you need to see credit flow more readily to the individual. in the be aens of that happening, in the absence

john mccain's reemergence as dealmaker is sparking talk of a return of the maverick of yesteryear. best buddy in the senate, chuck schumer. >> the two of you get along. >> after a fashion. >> in a strange, unusual fashion, which my mother would fail to understand. >> hello, giggles. after bonding over karl levin's stale danishes, mccain and schumer now make up two-thirds of what politico describes as the new power triangle. one that's rounded by by white house chief of staff dennis mcdonough. the trio have so far twoshgd get an immigration bill through the senate, crafted a deal to avert the nuclear option on filibusters and are now in talks to head off a government shutdown in the fall. for some the new mccain is reviving memories of the old mccain, the captain of the straight talk express who gave the bush machine a scare in 2000 before being done in by their dark arts. mccain continued to buck his party after 2000 by voting against the bush tax cuts and supporting campaign finance reform. but eight years later mccain became the establishment running as a national security hawk a

they call them commercial sex workers there and they are largely coming from the former yesteryear the countries that are in poverty and they're coming to germany so not so great why not so i think ultimately this is not something the koch brothers say but you know just because he is the national acting like lane that if we had these great government giveaways it wouldn't be happening what i said is we wouldn't have a child prostitution is you're always going to have prostitution in the world but i'm talking about people who are exploitable as and yes you're absolutely right you're proving my point you're saying the poorest countries in europe are supplying the prostitutes the richest countries in europe and what i'm saying is that whole poorest people in america the poorest bear broken families children living on the streets children almost. routed yes absolutely every one million euro even with all of these government giveaways you can't have a government over ways now being solved you know i'm talking about in france i'm talking about talking about it but there you're saying the pro

they were the mexicans of yesteryear. and, of course, after that you had -- and even before that you had people from asia, the chinese during the gold rush, the japanese at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. yes, you had hispanics a bit further on. a change in the law that triggered an unintended consequence. so there has always been the wrong kind of immigrant in the united states. it is simply not true. another important method says that the u.s. is getting a disproportionate number of immigrants. just this morning already airshow i heard the host side we are getting more than any other country in the world. they're all wanting to come here. they don't want to go to other countries. again, this is very silly. about 3 percent of the world population is made up of first-generation immigrants. and he legal immigrants constitute about 1/6 of the immigrants that traveled from one place to another every year. so the total number of immigrants every year is about 215. the total number of illegal immigrants is

bringing the top down, but you're rewriting wrongs of yesteryear. lou: this president has talked about the middle class. it has become sort of a default reference. it is not always what he wants to talk about, but it is what he talks about and it serves as an avatar for precisely what charles has described. reducing income disparity in this country and there has always been and there always will be, these are unprecedented issues. as you say, it is clearly now. >> this has been the attitude and in fact, this is a lot of mobility. in fact, this has dropped from the lower brackets in 2005 and the reverse happened, the brackets have moved out. so there are no lonesome doves that can be found and the federal reserve has also been helping us economy. jobs that were lost or recovered, this has taken about six years and counting to get the jobs in this recession and that is a big issue. lou: became out of the recession in july of 2009. in the president's first year and we still struggle to come close to a level of job creation for the creation of jobs in a
