Erin Burnett Out Front
CNN November 8, 2012 2:00am-3:00am EST
2:00 am
investors really panicking or is there something else causing the fear? and the gop licks its wounds and starts pointing fingers. here with us tonight, a possible 2016 candidate. and another nor'easter bearing down on the region still recovering from superstorm sandy. let's go "outfront." good evening. "outfront" tonight, markets tanked. the day after president obama wins a second term, the dow has its worst day in a year.
2:01 am
the dow finished the day down nearly 313 points. for the first time in three months, it closed below 13,000 and when you look at the broader markets, all were down 2.5%, so is the election really to blame? "outfront" tonight, michael farr, author of restoring our american dream. good to see you. i know there were a lot of markets often go down on the day after an election and they're worry about the fiscal cliff and europe. >> you really can't tell. certainly we had a couple of point run-up prior to the election and then this morning without the distraction of all of a political punditry and bluster, we see marcus all of a sudden come back down. perhaps investors confronted the fiscal cliff and what's going on
2:02 am
in greece. they need another $40 billion. china's slowing and we've got 2% gdp growth. fairly tepid. >> the credit rating agencies, the we couldn't make a deal last time around. fitch was one of them just hours after the president was re-elected. said if they don't avoid the fiscal cliff, we're going to face another downgrade. they say hey look, the first downgrade, it still hasn't caused interest rates to surge. should we be? >> we saw the rates rally and go lower after the last debt downgrade and today, even though things look worrisome, we saw the ten-year treasury bond go even lower. absolutely amazing. the federal reserve reserve is targeting inflation close to 2% and the government saying the government's willing to pay 1.62% for a ten-year piece of debt. investors are very skiddish and looking for a return of capital, so i think it continues to be a big deal and we have to stay focused. and these problems have to be addressed with congress showing real leadership.
2:03 am
time's running out and perhaps markets were reacting more than that. all the polls and sort of in trade still showed president obama ahead. we don't have a whole lot of change day-to-day. shouldn't have been a lot of reason for shock from where i sat. >> thank you very much. he points something out that i think is important to remind everybody watching. the market expected the president to win. it doesn't drop on something it expects to happen, so maybe it was just a realizization the price is upon us. just moments ago, president obama arrived back at the white house. earlier today, aides were quick to point out that the president had already called key congressional leaders in both parties to talk about his agenda. house speaker john boehner responded this afternoon. >> and for this to work, we need to plan for a serious process. focus on substance, not on the at it will require week of work rather than a weekend of photo op.
2:04 am
it won't happen around a campfire at camp david or as much i'd like over 18 holes of golf. i think this is going to take time, but if we're all striving for a solution, i'm confident we can get one. >> chris van hollen, a member of the supercommittee on deficit reduction. he knows a lot. good to see you in person. >> it's great to be here. >> we're all running on fumes and now, we have to get on those fumes and solve this problem because the market is right. it is a crisis and it has to be dealt with. what i don't understand is, a little change in the senate, but -- why is it going to happen now. >> first of all, a lot of the republicans in congress have been focused primarily, maybe we can move beyond that objective.
2:05 am
the second is the structure of the situation. the cliff creates big risks, also, opportunities. because not resolving the fiscal cliff will create problems for the country. we need to focus on two things. we need to accelerate the recovery and we need to act now to come up with a balanced, long-term plan to reduce the deficit. >> obviously, those are the, how we do that is the big question. now, john boehner had something to say today about revenue. by revenue, everybody, we're talking about, well, that's the whole point. there's different things we could be talking about. here's john boehner. >> there will be many who will say that with the election over, we should confront the first of these challenges by letting the top two tax rates expire and pushing the sequester off. it won't get us out of the problem and it will also hurt our economy.
2:06 am
because the american people expect us to find common ground, we're willing to accept some additional revenues via tax reforl. >> now, when i hear that, i don't hear i'm okay letting taxes go up on some people. i hear i'm okay closing loopholes and deductions where some high income earners may pay more than others. is that a deal you could work with? >> the question is is, what is speaker boehner saying? he really talking about a balanced approach or what he used to talk about and republicans have claimed, which is another round of tax breaks for wealthy people will somehow trickle down, magically boost the economy so much that it will pay for itself and not increase the deficit. we know that doesn't work. and if that's what speaker boehner's talking about, then really, it's not going anywhere. now, if he's talking about what we call genuine budget revenue, that's a different story and if that's the case, i'd love to see his proposal.
2:07 am
the president has put his on the table for revenue. let's see speaker boehner's proposal. he wants to do this in the open. let's see it. >> of course, he and the president had a deal and fingers can point all kinds of ways, but that failed. let's hope they can. but who's going to take the lead in negotiations on your side? is it going to be somebody who has been rather polarizing like nancy pelosi or someone else? >> during the talks between the speaker and the president, leader pelosi was willing to support whatever compromise they came up with. i think that remains to be seen exactly who is going to be the negotiator or negotiators. obviously, the white house has to be engaged and upg the president will make clear as he has in his speech last night, that we need to compromise. we need to come together on these issues. it is important to know the president does have a plan on this issue. it's been sitting in front of the congress for a year. republicans keep saying he
2:08 am
doesn't have one. it's just they don't like the president's plan he's put forward. it does take the balanced approach. >> which plan is this? >> this is the plan to reduce the deficit and eliminate the sequester over a ten-year period by $4 trillion through a combination of cuts and revenue and he's very clear on how he generates. >> but he didn't back simpson bowles, which had the same plan. >> but the framework of his proposal, a mix of cuts and revenue, is much closer to simpson bowles than anything the republicans have put on the table. >> so, will the president negotiate this himself? a lot of reason people were upset with him, that the country was slit on this election was because it seems other people got the job of doing that actual nitty-gritty during the negotiation. is that going to change this time? >> i think the president will be directly involved. he was in the conversations with speaker boehner and i would say that while this was a kind of close election, the reality is
2:09 am
the president had the decisive victory and the president is very clear on this point that this was a choice election. that's the one thing he and mitt romney agreed on, right? you can assure that if mitt romney and paul ryan had won, they'd say they have a mandate r for imposing the ryan romney budget. the president talked about this issue. he says we need to ask higher income individuals to pay more to generate revenue, as part of the solution. part of the solution along with cuts, to reducing the deficit, so it's not as if this hasn't been an important part of the campaign argument. so we'll have to see how this goes. >> i'll look forward the to talking to you more about it. you know what investors are telling me, you got to go about four times bigger. >> i think the framework of the bipartisan commission is right and it would be great if our republican colleagues would adopt that. people like grover norquist have said that's just a subterfuge to raise taxes on the american people when in fact, it's a
2:10 am
balanced approach to getting the job done. >> still to come, the keys to victory. how the president won and the voters who turned against the republican party. tonight, there are warning signs for both sides. john king at the magic wall. the man does not sleep. he is back. plus, after last night, what is next for the republican party? bob mcdonald is "outfront," next. and round two, a nor easter slamming the battered northeast. people who just got power back after a week have lost it again. try running four.ning a restaurant is hard, fortunately we've got ink. it gives us 5x the rewards on our internet, phone charges and cable, plus at office supply stores.

2:12 am
do you know where your polling place is? maybe somewhere around my house. mine's just, right over that way. well you can find out exactly where it is using bing elections. it's a good day for politics. which way do you lean politically? conservative. republican. well, using the bing news selector you can find news from whichever way you lean. (together) social on this side, financial. which party is currently predicted to win a majority in the senate? the republicans? would you make a bet on that? no. are you chicken?
2:13 am
2:14 am
our second story, the gop in disarray. republicans didn't only lose the white house, they lost three senate seats, also. john cornyn, the chair of the group responsible for getting republicans elected to the senate, said -- while some will want to blame one wing over the other, the reality is candidates from all corners lost tonight. clearly, we have work to do in the weeks and months ahead. so, how does the republican party regain its footing? bob mcdonald is chairman of the republican governors association. we appreciate you taking the time. how does the republican party go about recalibrating? it's fair to say that a couple of days ago, so many of the republican party really believed they can win this and when you
2:15 am
look at electoral college, your state, it wasn't even close. >> it was a very disappointing night. they deserve a lot of credit for running a very organized campaign. it was closer this year, two and a half points than virginia versus seven last time, but we did win 8 out of the 11 congressional seats and picked up 30 governors for the team. which is the highest level in 12 years. maybe another in washington state, so there was some bright spots, but overall, i agree. a combination of tone and message and reaching out to new and minority voters and making sure that we do a better job on the ground. >> well, gracious to come out and directly admit it, although you are right on on the governor's side. one of the wings that cornyn was referring to was the tea party and some big name tea partiers lost last night. joe walsh, josh mande ll,
2:16 am
richard murdoch in indiana. he had a specific situation there with the comments he made on abortion, but i think the question is is the tea party still relevant? is it now become an albatross? >> erin, what the tea party and other conservatives that believe we ought to -- balance budget, i think that's pretty a mainstream idea. they helped me immensely with the victory in virginia three years ago. i think it's how we organize. how we deliver the message. we've got to be a lot more inclusive and open and energetic by expressing why these are -- we've just got to do a better job with that. so, i think it's a lot of energy that still helps us immensely at the polls and getting people out. we've got to outorganize on the ground. >> tea party patriots jenny beth
2:17 am
martin, had this to say about mitt romney. here she is. >> we wanted a fighter like ronald reagan. what we got was a weak, moderate candidate, hand picked by the beltway elites and country club establishment wing of the republican party. the presidential loss is unequivocally on them. >> what's your response to that? >> well, i respectfully disagree. this is the way the process works. we have 20 debates and the people chose. mitt romney is an incredibly smart, talented, decent guy who worked very hard and i thought was a good messenger for our cause. that was a dead heat. going into the election. in fact, two weeks ago, before
2:18 am
the hurricane, erin, we were up by three to five points in swing states and we thought we were heading towards a victory, so i'm not going to recriminate. we've just got to realize what he did right, wrong, improve and do a better job of delivering the message. but hand it to the president for running a good closing argument and good ground game. >> what does someone like you think about 2016? you're one of the names that could be running. what are you focusing on? is it really focus all the time on reaching out on immigration and to hispanics? >> i think it's 24 hours after the polls close, so i'm not thinking about 2016. i'm thinking about virginia with a legislative session coming up, but i think the future of the party is with republican governors. we may have 31 when washington state finishes counting on friday. and i think that the leaders that are in our party that are conservatives that are ceos of
2:19 am
the states balancing budgets without raising taxes, knotts making excuses. getting jobs created. this is where the message is going to come on how we can govern better than the way washington's governing now with democratic ruling, so i think we're going to see more of those leaders rise up. >> and still "outfront," the president got re-elected on a coalition that did not count on white men. is that group's influence gone forever? and the northeast reeling from superstorm sandy. now, being hit with another powerful storm at this moment at its peak. we'll be back.

2:23 am
hit again. a powerful nor'easter bearing down on the east coast tonight. 60 mile an hour winds. wintry mix. snow in many places. 600,000 in the new york new jersey area have no power or heat. 8,000 are in shelters after their homes were -- many today who had just gotten power back lost it again. i went to see many of the devastated areas on staten island. rob, i know you've spent the day there. what is the current conditions. it doesn't look good. >> no, it doesn't.
2:24 am
can you believe this? this is a week after a tropical system or nearly tropical system moved through and crushed it. from jersey, staten island area across queens and connecticut. now, it's coming down almost blizzard conditions. we've had wind gusts. eastern long island and buzzard's bay of 76 mile answer hour. over a half of foot of snow in some places. three inch, maybe four on the ground. you know this time of year -- pretty hard because the ground is so warm. one thing that's good is if we don't have a surge like we were afraid. so this is an area that had water up and over my shoulders when sandy came through. devastating floods to this community. certainly, without power and heat, cold and snow and wind tonight is not boding well for these. >> how are people coping? when they were given an alternative, they didn't wabt to leave and were worried about looting. so where are people going? >> a lot of people are hanging
2:25 am
tough. there's diane, anthony making the best of a bad situation. people just coming out of the inside to dry things out. ripped off the sheet -- over seven or eight days now. we have carbon monoxide -- and this, there's a lot of people in this neighborhood. >> thanks to rob marciano. president obama won the

2:29 am
2:30 am
welcome back to the second half of "outfront." we start with stories we care about, where we focus on our reporting from the front lines and we begin tonight with the director of a controversial islam film who has been sentenced to a year in prison for probation violations. he admitted to charges which accuse him of using an alias. they violated the terms of his violation from a 2010 bank fraud case. the movie that was blamed by some for sparking riots throughout the muslim world and was initially blamed for the attack in libya. the greek parliament has approved a new set of austerity measures. they needed to pass the program to get more bailout money. the package cut spending and pensions. raises taxes an the retirement age. as many as 70,000 people took to the streets of athens to protest the measures.
2:31 am
some threw molotov cocktails which forced the police to fight back. greece is being asked to bring on a lot of fiscal pain, he says we'll see more stress over. graham spanier was arraigned today on charges he tried to cover up allegations that jerry sandusky was sexually abusing boys on the school campus. among the charges, obstruction of justice, endangering the welfare of children and purgery. bail is $125,000. but it is unsecured, so that means he doesn't have to pay it unless he fails to show up for a court date. he will not be allowed to travel outside the state without the court's permission. after meeting with with the president, one militant group in mali is urging other groups to start a political dialogue and it's an important group, at least from our understanding when we were covering the story. the armed group is one of many to have taken over the northern part of mali.
2:32 am
what does that mean? state department spokesman welcomed the announcement that says the group has only talked the talk and need to walk the work and work on a deal. it's been 461 days since the u.s. lost its top credit rating. it is time to ask what are we going to do to get it back. and now, our fourth story. president obama won re-election last night despite only getting 39% of the white vote. 20 percentage points behind romney. other crucial voting blocks carried the president to victory and that's raising major red flags for the are republican party today. john king is breaking down the numbers. democrats made major gains. i want to break each down. start with latinos. i know there was it was double digit in terms of latino vote.
2:33 am
>> giant. this is a generational problem for the republican party. 72% of the electorate. it's red because romney won it. but 13% african-americans. the president kept that in tact. for the first time nationally, latinos hit double digits and 71% of the latino vote nationally goes to president obama. that's nationally. now, let's swing this over and look at ity states. in nevada, the white vote was down because it was 19%. nevada used to be a swing state. 71% again in the state of nevada. one of the key battlegrounds. let me give you one more example. colorado. once a red state, now a purple state. latino vote, double digits and 75%. 75%. let's look over here. president wins nevada. once a swing state. wins colorado. wins new mexico. this used to be one of the
2:34 am
classic swing states in american politics. don't even think about it anymore, right? and he's probably going to win florida. why do i circle those? i'm going to slide this little barrier. the darker the colors, the higher the latino population. nevada, colorado, new mexico, florida, you can find other places as well up into the midwest. the republicans don't solve this problem. this is a crisis for the republican party. >> it certainly is. we're going to talk more about texas in a bit because i see that orange there. what about women? i know this war on women fight, a lot of people wondered whether it would be effective, but when it actually happened -- >> in a word, yes. >> romney did not make up that gap again. >> play the exit polls. nationally, less than half the electorate is men. governor romney wins it. but look, this is not rocket science. 53% of the electorate are women. they're going for president obama. if you're getting 55% among the biggest chunk, you are well on your path to victory.
2:35 am
let's move it over. go through the battleground states. you start getting -- swing states, he's winning in then you come over here, this is the mother of all battlegrounds, welcome back from columbus. 2% of the electorate in ohio are women. 55%. the combination of the diversity obama coalition. you add it up, simple math. as bill clinton said, just a -- >> in that speech. there was another area that was traditionally republican, but it shifted. >> we'll do a little -- turn this up. if you look at this close presidential election, 2004, post presidential elections in american politics won the suburbs. this is the 2000 election. you see bush winning in the denver suburbs.
2:36 am
the president wins, the democrats win in downtown. that's senator kerry in that year. but now, 2012. it's blue. in the key swing states, the democrats dominate in the suburbs. back over to ohio and let's make sure, now mitt romney did a good job. he won lake county, which is a trouble spot, but that's a big suburb just outside of cleveland, but look around columbus. sorry. outside of the columbus city where you were in, the president wins in the suburbs. down here in cincinnati and around here, this has to be for the, look at this election. go back to 2004. see hamilton county, that's cincinnati. when it's red, republicans win the state. when it's blue as it was in 2012 and 2008, the democrats carry it. why? because of the suburbs and the suburbs is one of reasons, look down here around philadelphia. all the close in suburbs there.
2:37 am
that used to be republican territory, but in 2012, obama wins it. four years ago, he won it. in 2004, he carried it as well. this is why this has been a democratic state for so long. you have to go back and back and back. back to george h.w. bush to when republicans were competitive. again, latinos, african-americans, it's been a long time crisis. suburbs, especially suburban women. in big states like this, the republicans have a problem. >> john king. thank you very much. democrats making such major gains among latinos, women, sush ban voters, what can the gop to gain ground? bill burton, also a senior strategist with priorities usa, is super pack that supported president obama. i'm sure you're going to be glad not to raise money -- let me start with you because when john started out talking about the latino vote, these numbers are
2:38 am
pretty shocking and overwhelming. bush in 2004, 44% of the vote. mccain. 31% and now, mitt romney at 27%. what happened to the enroads made by george w. bush? >> there's no coat tails. with hispanics and gop, they don't really exist. latinos vote for a candidate, not a party. for many, the republican brand is very tarnished. it's seen as she doesn't care for the latino community or those interests, which are all these very false stereotypes. over the last 40 years, republicans earned 30% of the hispanic vote. that's about the average. and we understood if we do not get up into the 37, 38, 39%, the republican party will fail to win national elections from probably 2012 on. >> that's a pretty incredible thing. >> you saw john king put up that map. i mean, there's a state that stands out there.
2:39 am
that state was texas. are we now looking at a point where texas could be something you could make a play for as a democrat? >> i think texas is no doubt going to be a purple state. just a place where the way the population's changing is just going to be better for democrats. now, what mitt romney failed to do during this election is make a strong case to hispanic voters why they shouldn't feel a way about him they suspected watching him run to the right of rick perry. he never made a case to hispanic voters. no real money was spent on hispanic outlets by the romney campaign. i think as a result, we really had no place to grow his support. >> there's two things. i think a tremendous amount of money was put into this election for latinos in comparison to what they should be doing. in texas, i'd have to argue. ted cruz, democrats would like to believe the democracy is to lean to the democratic party as latinos grow, they're going to
2:40 am
naturally move in. majority of latinos will be democratic, but there are many split ticket voters. many who can't find a place in the republican party with the right candidate and right message. >> and there's people like marco rubio who said before the election even happened, the republicans need to reach out more. gloria, what about the flip side? three quarters of the voter are white in this country and the president did not particularly do well among white men. is that a red flag for the democratic party, it just doesn't matter? >> it depends on which way you look at it. they've known they have a problem with white men. particularly because of the economic issues. but when you look at the question of who cares most about my problems, you know, the president overwhelmingly did very well and a lot of those people are white. blue collar working men, which is one of the reasons he won in the state of ohio.
2:41 am
i think the larger problem quite frankly, is for the republican party because you see that the percentage of the white electorate shrunk, right, from 74 to 72 and i think you know, that is a problem for republicans because they need to start reaching out. you're just talking about latinos. that's a growing community in this country. and i think you know, if the republican party doesn't wake up and say okay, you know what? we need to figure out a way to do immigration reform because there is no reason we should be alienating minorities who might be with us. >> bill, my question on this, when you look at the hispanic vote, so many ways, it seems it should be natural for some of them to vote gop. family oriented. >> there are ways that mitt romney could have dove tailed
2:42 am
into the hispanic community, but what gloria said, i actually am concerned as a democrat that the demographics are not great for us going into 2016. the next candidate on the ballot is not going to be barack obama. we're not going to get the kind of margins we got with the african-american community. so i actually think that democrats do find a way to recognize there is an issue with white voters and figure out how to reach out and find the language that works. >> you are the only white male in the conversation. >> makes a really interesting point because if you look at the republican candidates winning, especially winning statewide, marco rubio, ted cruz, they're winning across the board. not majority districts. they are winning with all specters of the voting electorate. that's significant for the republican party. points to the fact we're building a back bench.
2:43 am
what our leaders are going to look like in the future. that's the bright side. on the negative side, you have a lot of the young latinos who believe that the republican party doesn't connect with them in any way. >> here's the problem. you know, in the end, mitt romney did not get through with his economic message and you know, as you go through this primary season and whole election season as you know, erin, mitt romney in the end was sort of starting to do pretty well on who's better able to handle the economy. >> right. >> as you saw in the exit polls last night, the president was at parody with mitt romney on who's better able to handle the economy. but he did so much better on who cares about my problems and who understands the middle class and i think the republican party heading into the discussions we got over the fiscal cliff and the question of who's going to solve the debt crisis, who's going to solve the financial crisis, who's going to get us more jobs.
2:44 am
i think that's an issue the republicans in congress have to think of because that's where they failed. >> thank you. it wasn't just the minority voters or women who helped the president. remember karl rove's whole thing? put a little ballot initiative that riles up your base on the far right. they did it on the far left. plus, iran could become the biggest challenge the president faces in the next four years. what my sources are telling me about iran's reaction to obama's victory. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymbalta is not approved for children under 18. people taking maois or thioridazine or with uncontrolled glaucoma should not take cymbalta. taking it with nsaid pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk.

2:48 am
we are back with tonight's outer circle where we reach out to our sources around the world and we begin with reaction to the president's re-election in the middle east. the egyptian blogger tweeted obama keeps his house and job. congratulations, b. we saw this last night during the, as the results were coming in. there was a lot of xhitment. one of my sources in the region told me the whole middle east wanted to vote, all excited about obama. important to note this is someone who said they would be hit by higher tax rates and happy to pay them for the privilege of living in the united states. i asked how the results will affect iran's nuclear program? >> erin, it didn't matter who
2:49 am
won these elections. iran had made it clear that it planned to press forth with its nuclear program, no matter what. mr. romney, of course, had attacked mr. obama, saying he had failed to stop iran's nuclear program, but never said how he was going to do things differently. this nuclear program, a complicated issue, because iran has tied it to its national pride and identity, a way to show the world it won't back down to washington. sanctions don't appear to be working and no one suggested attacking iran anymore other than some israeli leaders. many say what will attack this deadlock is a deal where both sides say they gain something. but how? does washington concede something? important questions mr. obama will mull over in his second term. now, our fifth story. turning the social tie. for the first time in history, voters voted to legalize same-sex marriage. voters okayed the legalization of marijuana. maybe the president will go
2:50 am
along with it. all right. but then these ballot measures. that's the crucial question because colorado was a swing state. we know that. up for grabs. voters there supported the marijuana measure. he also won maryland, washington and maine. not all of those swing states. "outfront" tonight, john avlon, author of, "the victory lab". karl rove was credited with this on the republican side. it will get your guy elected did it work in colorado do you think? >> we do see from the quick look at the exit polls that there was a slightly higher turnout among 18 to 29-year-olds. campaign one issue on election, the top of the ticket drives turnout. you could see there would be people brought to the polls because young voters are interested in pot who might not
2:51 am
be part of a effort of a campaign. my bet is we'll know more about what happened there as the numbers come in. >> karl rove's strategy was to put it on 11 states. now here, some of the states we are talking about on the gay marriage issue were not swing states. let's talk about colorado. >> i actually think what is happening when you break it down, barack obama's wave helped to push those issues. minnesota in 2009, the same issue was on the ballot and it went down. i think you have to be careful analyzing these things. it was a barack obama issue getting him nominated.
2:52 am
>> this is overwhelming. how significant is that? >> it is significant. maine is the state in 2009 that voted this down. eric is right to the extent that you are going to have a higher turnout. what we see is same-sex marriage. hitting a tipping point. sort of along those lines 52-48. and in colorado the older voters not supporting it and younger voters were. stunning. but, you know, it is significant to this extent. what the initiatives are doing, it is showing where we are going as a country.
2:53 am
it could be good news but there are changes afoot on marriage equality and legalization that will going to be more normal down the line. the whole flat party platform being another issue when most americans support exceptions. >> i don't know what the party does at this point. it looks like, you said 52-48. the interesting thing about the issues in these states particularly gay marriage, it wins at the polls and has failed at the ballot. it is barack obama's voters going out to support it. were they on the ballot? maybe not. the turnout will be high. they are saying at least with gay marriage it is happening at the polls. >> you target the voters what are the next things they should be pushing across more states? >> i think there will be
2:54 am
interest in using out of the box issues. i think democrats are interested one of the things that bill mentioned in the last segment is democrats are going to have to figure out how to run for office without barack obama at the top of their ticket. they are going to have to figure out how to bring in voters and my guess is that if they can find social or cultural issues that can help motivate those voters and connect with them, they will look at them. >> they tried this with a union ballot. it turns out that voters rejected it. >> people are smart. >> thanks to all three out front next. the campaign is finally over.
2:55 am
we are glad it is over. you know what, we are going to look back at some of the things that they wish you would forget but you don't. to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today.
2:56 am
2:57 am
2:58 am
the very long campaign season finally over. as happy as we are to see it go, we will miss the ups and downs
2:59 am
of the campaign trail. sometimes the parties will say anything. at other times it was like they didn't know what they were saying at all. >> you said you had run a two hour and 50 something marathon. it turns out it was over four hours. >> i have known eight presidents. >> morning y'all. >> i like grits and big bird. >> not one single day i have been proud to be his vice president. >> i'm not familiar with what i said but i stand by what i said whatever it was. >> a three letter word jobs jobs. >> join me in welcoming the next president of the united states paul ryan. >> stand with three proud words made in the usa.

We are excited to announce that the 2015 Local Board Snapshots are now available online. We want these unique education and skills snapshots that provide local data to help decision making in these communities. For the first time, we have also produced an Auckland-wide and Southern Initiative snapshot to act as a useful companion for the local board data snapshots.
Each snapshot has information collected from a variety of reports, statistics, and the latest census data. Each snapshot brings together information about key characteristics of local board areas, early childhood education enrolments, and how students are achieving at school.
For access to your region's Local Board Snapshot please click here. For the best results, please print these snapshots double sided, in colour on A3 paper. Please share these snapshots with your friends and colleagues and start a discussion with your family and communities about this data.

Poor Percy
Seattle defeated Washington 27-17 on Monday but you can't blame Percy Harvin (and his fantasy owners) for being frustrated. The Seahawks receiver scored three times only to see all three touchdowns called back due to penalties. Russell Wilson had the play of the game when he avoided three defenders to complete this pass. Richard Sherman had the insult of the game when he told reporters that "Pierre Garcon doesn't matter in this league." Also of note: This Redskins fan (and his amazing getup) deserves recognition, as does Wilson for taking time to meet with this fan.
Two More Derek Jeter Links and Then I'm Done Forever
A reader named Chris emailed to tell me how much he loves Hot Clicks and how sick he is of me linking to Derek Jeter items.

New Rangers goalie Cedrick Desjardins is quickly ingratiating himself to New York fans by putting images of Frank Sinatra and Jeter on his goalie mask. The Rock appeared at Monday Night Raw in Brooklyn last night and led fans in a DEREK JETER chant.

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- A grocery store here has installed a fully automatic vending machine that dispenses fresh-cooked French fries with a Belgian twist.
The precooked and frozen fries are dropped into hot beef fat, considered by many Belgians to be the frying fat of choice for a golden brown finish.
The new machine prepares a half-cup serving of fries in 90 seconds for $3.50. After a 90-second wait, the serving emerges from the vending machine accompanied by a fork, salt, ketchup or mayonnaise.
The machine is distributed by BreakTime Solutions, which said it designed a triple-filter ventilation system to contain the smell of the fries.

Obese children are between 30 and 40 per cent more likely to suffer heart disease and strokes in the future than normal-weight children, according to a large-scale new study.
It is widely known that being overweight or obese as an adult increases the risk of heart disease, strokes and other health issues, but the effects on children are less apparent.
Researchers at the University of Oxford examined data from 63 research papers published between 2000 and 2011, which studied almost 50,000 children in highly developed countries.
Writing on bmj.com, they found that children who were obese had much higher blood pressure and cholesterol levels on average than normal weight children, as well as an increased risk of diabetes. In addition, obese children were more likely to have a thicker lower left side of the heart.
The researchers believe obese children's hearts gradually become enlarged due to the strain of having to pump blood through the partly blocked blood vessels.
The researchers estimated that if all these risk factors continued into adulthood, obese children would be 30 per cent to 40 per cent more likely to have future strokes and heart disease than normal weight children.
The authors conclude: "Weight, and especially obesity, has a significant effect on the risk parameters for cardiovascular disease that are present in children from age five years.
"This effect could give them a head start on their normal and even overweight classmates for future cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke."
With roughly 1 in 7 children in the UK now obese, the study has prompted researchers at University College London's Institute of Child Health to urge GPs to measure children's body mass index to help curb the obesity epidemic.
Since parents often do not recognise obesity in their children, the researchers believe primary care services should help families move towards tackling the problem.
Health Insurance quotes from only £15 per month!
A great service from the initial call, to finalising the agreement. I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Proactive, efficient, and offered me insurance I need. I would say half price I would end up paying if I did it by myself. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Explained everything in detail and really helped to find the right insurance best suited to my needs - which wasn't necessarily the most expensive.
Good value and the advisor was very helpful and recommended the best policy for my grandson. I would definitely use this service again and recommend to others.
We were contacted in good time to make a knowledgable choice. We were given plenty of options with lots of information to enable us to make the right choice.
The service I received was excellent, the staff member was very efficient and knowledgable. She went out of her way to get the best policy for me.
Great service. I really appreciated the help provided by Active Quote to arrange health insurance. The agent was very informative and proactive. Many thanks!
I received excellent care and attention from the first phone call till the last. Friendly, efficient and patient.
Staff are very helpful, friendly and polite. They call back when they say they will and keep you up to date with progress. Pleasure to deal with.
Very polite and friendly, and gave detailed explanations of all aspects of the cover. Reassuring to know that if you do have a problem there is someone you can contact.

We hate to be the ones to bring it up, but it's almost that time of year again. Time to return to the grind, dust off the computers and notebooks and head back to school and work. While we can still enjoy some warm weather for weeks to come, days are getting shorter and the long, lazy days of summer are coming to an end.
September is usually a time of organization for us. We clean out the office and get our computers checked out/updated. Last September we visited Express Computers in Langley and we were extremely impressed with their knowledge and service offerings.
Express Computers began in 1996 with just 5 people. After a reorganization in 2005, it has really taken off and now has 5 locations from Surrey to Chilliwack.
We recently met with Owner Darren Layton, who showed us around Express Computers HQ and their central help desk. Our minds were boggled by the live monitoring of remote servers and busy help desk. The moment something is not quite right, they are on it!
From residential computer service, repair and updates to comprehensive corporate networks and licensing, Express Computers is set up to handle it all. Their services are menu oriented, meaning you will find consistency no matter which retail outlet you deal with. Express Computers technicians take a real team approach and as a team can service software issues from afar. They are all certified and trained in different areas, offering clients a comprehensive technical background.
In 2010 the company has grown to 55 employees. With goals to expand further across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland, you are not too far from one of these great stores. Express Computers is not just a repair, maintenance and retail outlet, they also offer web services (6 designers and web developers on staff), print services and consulting/strategic planning.
Express Computers
Locations in Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack

This week I have made my first (non-README) contribution to a puppet module.
I was attempting to configure ModSecurity using the puppetlabs-apache puppet module when I discovered that the '/var/log/httpd/modsec_audit.log' file contained the request body for rejected requests. For PCI-DSS reasons, this was not desirous, so I set out to learn how I could configure ModSecurity to stop doing that.
First, I consulted the ModSecurity audit log documentation and learnt that you can choose which sections to include in the audit log with the 'SecAuditLogParts' directive. Helpfully the audit log file contains section separators (e.g. '--be604c0a-C--') which have a section identifier—in this case 'C'—which corresponds to the "request body" part. So, all I had to do was ensure that I removed 'C' from the 'SecAuditLogParts' directive. Simples!
There was just one teeeny tiny problem. My '/etc/httpd/conf.d/security.conf' contained the below line, and look ma, no 'C' to be seen. Drat.
SecAuditLogParts ABIJDEFHZ
My first thought was that perhaps my config file was not read and ModSecurity was running with its defaults, which are documented to be 'ABCFHZ'. Or perhaps there was an error in the config file further up so it was only partly read. (Although I judged the chance of the latter slim, since no warnings or errors were logged about corrupt config.) To test this I changed the 'SecAuditLog' directive (which was the last directive in the file) and restarted Apache. I provoked ModSecurity again, and lo and behold it logged to the audit log with the new name. So at least I had confirmed that the config file was read.
I also discovered that my audit log had the 'E' section in them, which is not in the default, so I went back to re-read the documentation for the audit log sections. I won't bother you with details of how my lips moved when carefully reading the text, but here's our culprit:
I: This part is a replacement for part C. It will log the same data as C in all cases except when multipart/form-data encoding in used. In this case, it will log a fake application/x-www-form-urlencoded body that contains the information about parameters but not about the files. This is handy if you don't want to have (often large) files stored in your audit logs.
Using the 'C' section identifier in the log file when all the other sections map directly from the section part selector to the section identifier is unintuitive, to say the least. I wasted quite a lot of time because of this and filed an issue about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it is never fixed as third-party tools rely on the current behavior though.
Moving on! I now had a plan. All I had to do was remove the 'I' part selector from the 'SecAuditLogParts' directive. Unfortunately, this was not configurable through 'puppetlabs-apache'. It was hardcoded in the 'security.conf.erb' template. The plan now became "moaning to friends" about my situation. In private. (I am a grown-up, and a professional, after all.)
Turns out I moaned to the right friends. After receiving some encouragement and pointers from Dean Wilson I set out to contribute the ability to configure which sections you want printed to the 'modsec_audit.log' file to 'puppetlabs-apache'. It was much simpler than I thought, and culminated in a pull request that was merged pretty swiftly.
If you're thinking: "that's cool. I could use that actually. What do I have to do?" then don't worry—I've got your back! It may be a little while before there's a new release, but if you use librarian-puppet to manage your puppet modules you can easily install the tip of the current master branch by putting this in your 'Puppetfile':
mod 'puppetlabs-apache', :git => 'https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache.git'
You can then select which sections you want printed to the 'modsec_audit.log' file by putting something like this in a relevant hiera file:
apache::mod::security::audit_log_parts: ABZ
f you don't use hiera, you can set it directly from a puppet manifest like so:

By the way, please do not blindly copy 'ABZ' from the above example, but refer to the audit log documentation and make an informed choice as to which sections you want to log to your audit log. Every app is different and what's right for mine is not necessarily right for yours. (Especially since that isn't actually what I use: I just felt it rolled off the tongue nicely for this example, if you pronounce the 'Z' like a 'C', as some are wont.)

New Addition to the Nike Skateboarding Team
The newest addition to the Nike Skateboarding team will not be the hottest, up-n-coming street ripper. No, the newest addition is someone who may have inspired you if you started skating back in the 80s. For all of us here at Nike SB, he's always been a source of inspiration and continues to be one.
Please join me in welcoming Lance Mountain as the newest member of the Nike Skateboarding Pro team. The decision to put Lance on was not something we took lightly. While several of our pros may be regarded in certain circles as having "legend status, we've never seriously considered putting a true legend of skateboarding on the team. However, when Lance goes to accept his TransWorld SKATEboarding "Legend Award this June, he'll be doing it in a pair of Nikes.
Currently, Lance is shooting his interview for the TransWorld's Awards issue and is also filming his part in the upcoming Flip video Extremely Sorry. In addition, Lance is working with our staff photographer Jon Humphries to get his first Nike SB ad, which should be dropping in magazines this July.

NEW YORK – Hillary Rodham Clinton is preparing to dramatically shift the tone and tenor of relations with Israel away from a publicly disputatious posture adopted by the Obama administration, according to several of her top aides, who in conversation with The Jerusalem Post outlined, for the first time, her detailed plans for the alliance should she win the White House on November 8.On the question of Iran, on the challenge of Middle East peace and in bilateral relations between the two countries, Clinton sees an opportunity to turn the page after eight years of turbulence – to bring disagreements in from the cold, back behind closed doors, and to rebuild trust between their leaders and peoples.

I am in love.
I have thin, color treated hair. I'm getting older, so is my hair. Anyway.
I found this on clearance at Family Dollar for 1.20 and I followed the directions, didn't use conditioner after as some suggested.
It made my hair so soft and shiny and the smell is great. I went back today and bought the last of what they had.

If youve not read any of my previous reviews then it would be difficult for you to understand the absolute torture i put my hair through. Literally it astounds those around me im not bald like..half a decade back.
Anyways, you get the gist. Lately ive been trying to grow it out from a pixie and keep the abuse to a dull roar. Still, now a chin length bob, i get that insatiable desire to color, highlight (but then what are highlights without lowlights?!) and then circle always back to a facsimile of my "natural hair color", a medium auburn, where i currently reside.
Compound that impulse with daily washings, blow dryings, and straightening, my hair has been course, lacking volume, and the ends fried. Painting a pretty fantastic picture ay?
So anyways saw this at Walmart three days ago for 1.49 in the "ethnic hair" section and decided; why the feck nat?
I shampooed then towel dried and slathered this on. Half a packet saturated my hair (i doused both roots and ends, greasy scalp so be it), wrapped in the Walmart bag i toted it home in, and covered that with the ever elegant Towel Headdress.
Literally I was bored and expected NOTHING.
An hour later I washed my hair, slip was meh (i like slip :B and let it air dry before blowing out. I did not apply leave in, only because I forgot, and only a teensy amount of garnier oil (the one in the orange rectangular packaging) to the super fried bits.
Holy. Fuck. Im sorry but explectives are necessary. My hair is literally. LITERALLY 95% new. I mean volume, i mean bounce, and shine and SOFT. Its like going to pet a barbed wire wrapped ball of hay but finding oneself touching kitten fur. Like soft and fluffy and (probably) purring.
.anyways, the real and total cementing of the awe was when i slept with my styled bob and instead of waking up to a completely different mangled atrocity, IT WAS THE SAME BOUNCY, SHINY, soft masterpiece it was before.
Not greasy or stiff or dull.
Im prfoundly impressed and will never. EVER recommend anything otherwise for hair that is damaged.
The product itself is all natural blah blah blah and i vaguely remember most of the first 6 ingredients being natural/various oils.
I am not a fan of the residual coconut oil smell, its not synthetic but that rich buttery smell but fuck my nose. My hair looks and feels fantastic. No product has even come near these results.
All in all, holy grail. Hands down.

Amazing. After some heat styling, my curls were left limp. I use this with a cap for 30 minutes, rinse, then use a rinse out conditioner and style as usual. My curls POPPED! Has a great coconut smell that hangs around for a couple days. I wish the product came in a bottle but the sachets have the perfect amount in them and run about $1.50 each. I will use this 1-2 times a month as needed. I recommend to anyone whose hair loves protein!

This brilliant product is a sulfate and paraben free hair protein treatment. Perfect for those curlyl girl method fans out there. I loved the results on my blonde highlighted hair. Far superior to the very expensive Philip Kingsley Elastizer that i have been using lately. I have long curly hair which is fine and prone to frizz and although my hair is in good condition and frequently moisturised it didnt feel or look good. After leaving this in my hair for about 20 minutes the results were amazing, My hair had the most perfectly defined frizz free curls. I couldnt get over the difference in my hair. Needless to say it smells coconutly gorgeous and one satchet will easily get me two treatments out of it, bargain price too. It has a very thick consistency and doesnt feel like most conditioners in your hair, you definitely couldnt comb this through your hair but when rinsed out your hair feels very soft again and very strong. I hardly ever leave reviews but want to let you ladies and of course any gents just how good this stuff is. I have already ordered more and hope to see even better results with long term use. Just wish you could buy this in a tub.

Ok, I needed a protein treatment so I went to dollar general and got it for i think 1.50. I shampooed with my own sulfate free shampoo and rinsed, and applied the coco butter protein pack. I didnt use the whole thing but what i did use smelled good and i did what instructions said applied from roots to ends and let it sit in for 20 minutes. I worked my hands through my hair to detangle, but it wasn't slippery enough to just let the comb glude through my hair. It felt dry and stiff do i was assuming if i rinse it i could comb ny hair in sink to detangle. That didnt work either. I had to be very careful as i combed from ends on up. I had to end up using motions leave conditioner to make my comb through easier. I used more leave in conditioner. I was hoping this would work for me but it didnt. Im glad i didn't use it all. Won't be buying again.

I picked up 2 packets, which my purchase was influenced a lot by price (this was approx $1.50 ea. at Target), & I rely on MUAers reviews so I should have consulted here coz I didn't kno you were sup to condition afterwards. I used the entire pack on my bra-strap length naturally curly oily roots hair. I washed my hair 3x w clarifying shampoo 1st so I'd be starting out w a "clean slate," if you will, then I applied the entire pack & let it sit 20 mins. I rinsed it out & let it air dry. My hair looks super curly & feels very soft but not slippery or greasy at all. I love this! I had an issue getting the package open in the shower. It should be easier to open & if you didn't want to use the whole thing (but I did), if should be easier to store the leftovers. It should come with better directions if ur sup to condition ur hair after I mean c'mon how was I sup to know that?!! The scent is heavenly. I absolutely adore anything coconut scented & this smells like coconut & sunblock, kinda fruity-tropical which is just the kinda pick me up I need w snow on the ground here. My curls look awesome but it's not too slippery to put up into my chopsticks (anybody whom knows me knows how into my chopsticks & also jaws clips I am). Now I know for the next treatment to get some conditioner onto my hair after rinsing this out. Thanks!!

I absolutely love this product!! I make sure I always have at least one pack on hand. This protein pack really strengthens and defines my 3c curls. I apply the entire pack (my hair is bra strap length when wet) and let sit on my hair for about 30 minutes. After I rinse it out and follow up with my favorite conditioner. This product is my Holy Grail for sure!!

Capturing the LO SOUND DESERT
07/19/2013 10:50AM ● Published by Steve
Gallery: Lo Sound Desert [10 Images] Click any image to expand.
By Joerg Steineck
I'm a German filmmaker. I don't see myself primarily as a documentary film maker. I've made various weird, experimental short films and some documentaries. My storytelling is more subjective than that of other documentary film makers, I suppose.
I grew up in the suburbs surrounded by a huge green forest and industrial parks. For the past 10 years I've lived in urban places constantly bustling with people. I do that because I expect to make a living there. But often people who are driven the same way share the desire to break out of this loop of speed and noise. And although it's often not possible to make a bigger step beyond the next office door to the doorstep of a natural surrounding, the chance is still imaginable.
It might sound lame to people who are actually from the desert, but like most people I know who are aware of the desert music scene I discovered a band called Kyuss when I was around 13. I think they had just released Blues For The Red Sun. Their sound seemed to be something that wasn't really comparable to other bands that came up during that time. The additional tag that they came from a place in which most of the people in Europe probably couldn't imagine living constantly made it even more interesting to listen to them. The desert is often connected with terms like danger, life hostility, spirituality and freedom, and even though I had never been there at that time, it seemed to sound organic to this area and burned a strong picture into my mind. Even today listening to Kyuss still evokes the same timeless, eternal feeling in me that you get when actually standing in the middle of nowhere.
Then the whole grunge thing went on and after Cobain's suicide and the ridiculously annoying commercialization things went down the drain. There was such a heavy overdose of grunge in the everyday life of my generation and there needed to be a distance to all that. To this day Bleach is the only Nirvana album that I can still listen to in its entirety without zonking out.
So I started experiencing a lot of different music back then, and I basically forgot about Kyuss until my early twenties when Queens Of The Stone Age broke through. That was like a reminder. Later I found out that Kyuss had become some kind of cult in the underground rock scene—and I guess mostly to people like myself who never had the chance to see them playing live and felt betrayed by a pop culture that had injected post punk into teenage ears. Sometimes you represent the whole image on which you've just drawn a few lines.
Kyuss were a great band when they played big international stages but became even more appreciated after they'd broken up on their climax of success. Like the desert itself, their music doesn't seem to age, and their achievements and their origin paint such a strong picture into people's minds that they became a kind of cult phenomenon. Thereby they opened doors for other desert bands as well. And no matter what was achieved by them or by others within this scene, they've put the Coachella music scene on the map.
There's a misunderstanding in perspective of what the term 'desert rock' actually means. People from Europe have a different definition than people from the desert themselves of course.
If you ask someone who grew up in the desert scene, he or she will tell you that rock music in general that comes from the desert is "desert rock." The special thing about the desert rock scene is the variety of musical styles, even though most of the bands are heavily punk influenced.
But the insider view of that term will encompass all these varieties. Four years ago, if you asked a general European rock fan familiar with desert rock, probably just one band came up instantly: Kyuss. And still to this day diehard desert rock fans in Europe don't know about bands like Across The River, Zao or Unsound. How could they? They know about Queens Of The Stone Age, about Kyuss, a few know about Unida or Slo Burn, Brant Bjork and the Bros—because these bands involve members of Kyuss, and there are some Fatso Jetson and Yawning Man fans as well.
When they talk "desert rock" they mean a specific sound that paints a picture of the surrounding but isn't necessarily made in the surrounding itself. There are even more Swedish bands nowadays which have a closer approach to what people from here would call desert rock even though it is played by a few guys who grew up in the woods. And when you compare the different streams of rock nowadays you'll realize that in fact desert rock is still completely underground. And it's one of many underground streams we have in Europe.
There's no other band like Kyuss from the desert, but people here assume the desert scene has always been a mingle-mangle of bands that sound the same. And naturally they will dig everything that sounds closest to what they already know and love.
On the one hand it's basically a good thing that attention was drawn to it, on the other hand it's sad for the potential and the energy of the scene to mark it as one brand. I don't even think bands like Fatso Jetson or Yawning Man are really appreciated by the majority of people here in Europe for what they are but rather for their reputation as being 'desert bands.' In fact it's a little bit of that grunge hype thing on a very, very small scale.
I first visited the desert in 2005 with a friend of mine. We both had only vague ideas about the desert music scene, and the nature was more our incentive for this trip. Like probably everyone else who visits for the first time we camped out in Joshua Tree National Park and felt overwhelmed by that strange beauty of the surroundings. Since I was studying film in San Diego at that time I figured it wouldn't be too far off to combine the beauty of the Californian desert with my film projects. I asked one of the bands on MySpace if they'd be interested in doing a music video. It was more or less a random pick on House Of Broken Promises, formerly Unida.
So a few weeks later after my first trip I drove back to the desert to shoot a music video and some interviews with these guys. But based on my mediocre knowledge about the whole context these didn't go very deep. For three or four weeks I drove around, mostly on my own, to experience nature and collect footage for the video. A few months later, I was already back in Germany, the video was finished.
Unfortunately it so happened that the band separated from the singer and they didn't want the old singer to appear in the video, so it was never released. That was the first time I was introduced to a desert specific thing—the 'rotating musicians'—everyone playing with everyone and as fast as you can get into a band as fast you can get out of it.
I collected all the footage I had and basically edited it to a small documentary of 15 minutes length. But I figured it'd be much too one-sided telling the story of a whole scene through the eyes of just one band. And their musical background was quite different to the background of the general bulk of bands.
From there I started arranging interviews with various desert musicians who were touring through Europe at that time. I released a first trailer of the film on the Internet and realized that there's actually a real desire for a documentary like this. For me as a young filmmaker who never reached that much attention before it basically meant pure pressure because I realized the whole expanse of this topic. The film I was working on up to that point was nearly finished and had gained a length of 60 minutes, but couldn't provide all the details that were important in telling the whole story. It was more or less a 60 minute music video with people talking in between, and a lot of artificial knickknack that would probably represent more my personal view as a video artist and a Kyuss listener than the actual happenings that went on back then.
So over the following years I did my research more professionally, meeting more touring desert musicians and learning about the scene itself. Most importantly I met Mario, one of the most respected people from the scene and a door and mind-opener. I realized the Californian desert rock scene had much more to tell than what I had ever expected and that I definitely shouldn't enforce an image that is based upon a one-sided imagination and itchy feet romance. about the film.
The film will include the musical history from the late 70s on with a definite focus on the 80s punk scene, the general meaning of success or recognition by an international audience, and it will also provide a view on the approaches of younger generations. I hope we'll be able to show an early preview of the film at the Dali's Llama anniversary party this year. It's meant to be a test screening before I can go deeper into creative details and clearing music rights.
The progress depends on my working abilities though, I have my day jobs and am doing most of the work on the film on my own. Like with every independent project, a huge problem is the money factor. I have already put a lot of effort and money into this film and I am not able to fund more costs by myself. So to finally release it there is no other way than to hope for external support.
By support I don't mean just the monetary thing, but also providing more original footage, like photos or videos of the scene back then etc. If you think you've got some fine desert jewels locked away in your closet, please drop me a line to email@example.com.
Generally if you want to help, please register with your email address for the newsletter on the official website www.losounddesert.com and get updates about how you can support the film effectively. I, myself, and everyone else involved in this project would really appreciate it. And supporting this film means supporting your scene.
