: good evening i'm john fugelsang. this is "viewpoint." now many articles have been written in the wake of the trayvon martin decision, but one of the most controversial was the op-ed piece by richard cohen for the "washington post." while he presses sympathy for the loss of trayvon martin, he does sides with george zimmerman's suspicions of trayvon quote wearing a uniform we all recognize, in other words, the deadly hooded sweatshirt, or if you're a white kid, then it's probably just another kid's track suit. in an effort to call for politicians to open a dialogue on the complexity of this problem, and quote acknowledge the widespread fear of crime committed by young black males as mr. cohen sees it he further asserts the public knows young black males commit a disproportionate amount of crime. in new york city blacks makeup a quarter of the population, yet they represent 78% of all shooting suspects, almost all of them young men. we know them from the nightly news. which loves to shove local crime down your throats.

john: thank you both so much. john: thank you both so much. we wi every day we're working to be an even better company - and to keep our commitments. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here. through all of our energy operations, we invest more in the u.s. tha any other place in theorld. in fact, we've invested over $55 billion here in the last five years - making bp america's largest energy investor. our commitment has never been stronger. see these hands? they gripped the wheel of a humvee in afghanistan. these hands? they're here for the person who fought in afghanistan. john: is america wrong? no, thankfully we are not as bad. in a hundred different ways. our taxes are actually higher than most, but we don't have slaves. we also don't kill people for sports. when we go to war, misguided or not, we do not conquer or plunder. when we win, we usually leave. poor people live better than the emperors there. we have flush toilets, longer lives, painkillers, air-conditioning. our presidents actually leave o

there were 150,000 demonstrators. >> john: really. >> boooo! >> john: i did not expect that. i guess they just feel very strongly about preserving traditional marriage in france, which sof course, one man, one woman, and her sister, and their maid, and the college-age daughter friend who stayed with them during the summer-- you know, traditional french marriage, like god intended. actually, can we see some of the that protest footage again? quick question-- ( laughter ) how is it that france's antigay protests look so much gayer than our pro-gay protests? that doesn't make any sense? ( cheers and applause ) you can't be a gay-- what-- and that wasn't even france's gayest antigay protest. >> fireworks at the french open this weekend. had nothing to do, though, with tennis. a masked, bare chested protester leaped on to the court and lit a flare over france's decision to legalize gay marriage. >> john: listen, i don't want to be in the position of giving tips to bigoted antigay forces, but just in terms of pure message discipline you might want to go with something that doesn't

. >> now john stossel. john: the word austerity means self-denial, when applied to government it means cting spending. i put the word in quotes here, because, despite media whaling about it -- wailing about austerity there have been few real cutsere or in europe. there are books out like off ofausterity kills. he said this comic strip explains it all portrays. aliens who want to destroy ear earth. aliens shoot him for reveals the truth. >> i'm proud to be an off the an austarian . unfortunately, only a few people in congress actually take my side and wt to cut spending. i am happy to have one of them here with us, senator rand paul. proposed specific cuts, but senator, i'm told if he cut now, when the economy is not great, this will make unemmloyment worse. >> well here is the amazing thing about people saying that we are living in an age of off the austerity, we he not cut any spending in washington. spending still is growing, in washington. when they say if youutt spending -- if you cut spending that will

( laughter ) ( applause ) also, also this week, we actually have news from the real financial sector. >> the big story this quarter has been financial stocks, the bank stocks all had spectacular numbers. here's goldman sachs, by the way, which had an absolutely terrific earnings report. >> profits double at goldman sachs in the second quarter to $1.93 billion. >> john: yes, goldman sachs have been covering their investors in goldman showers. as an interesting sidenote here, one of the reasonses that goldman is doing so well is its trade in aluminum. as of i will incorrectly pronounce it for your comfort, aluminum. for years, aluminum has helped build our airplanes. it's kept us from sipping beer out of our hands. and provided m

john: people wod show up in this way? >> yes, they had a tt and they got away with it so that anyone could fill up and get thisfree stuff. >> and they decided that you had to be edited by the state. >> well, not verybody, but they started public schools? >> well, it was much later. largely with homeschooling. in the first public had was about 250 bc and they were not funded by the government. john: and the geeks actually mocked him for being backwards about that? >> yes, of course they did last anywhere near as long. >> you have educated us about welfare and the handouts. do you see parallels with rom >> yes, if you take a look at roman society that started to dictate, it is not just because of theewelfare state and the people on the bottom, it is also cause the people on the top who isolated lives from the rest. i find parallels in the united stes versus rome very interesting. >> 's. john: we have a lot of unintended consequences. we just get rid of it? you're pretty hard-core, i assume. should america get rid of all han
