you get a sense of the percentages on there. next, i wanted to focus on different types of projects. clearly, the type, level, and complexity of construction projects in san francisco are important to look at. we sought a $200 million project. now i want to spend a little time walking you through the results around some of the construction of our libraries in our various their goods. supervisor avalos: before you go on i want to ask if you are going to be able to summarize what you see the difference is, even within the puc project, between some of the trades showing higher local hiring and versus those that are not. what is happening differently there? compare that to the other projects you're going to show us. they were able to achieve in certain areas higher levels. >> let me go to the library project and then i will speak to that question. not all the projects that have been part of the san francisco branch library improvement project are in the data set i am sharing with you. we are only going to look at eight examples. som

they lead a common-sense life. common sense means that you don't spend what you don't have.ou don't overburden people. the give people incentive. they see these as core values. if they were more litter they would express it more eloquently. there are no less fervent and passionate than a trained economist. and the other thing that happened, they look at people in new york and they say, where did these people come from. what kind of values to the have? how could they think about things? there are just befuddled. angry, but befuddled. >> guest: you tie this all back from a policy point of view the thing that ignited all the frustration was the bailout. there were several. >> host: fiscal and now we are addressing bailout as a trigger and catalyst. >> guest: it is part of the same thought process. what doug was saying about a common-sense approach is of a sudden the government says we have $700 billion. he did none of this ahead of time to prepare the body. another is a sense of moral of ridge. americans believe in this idea that if you will in business he should keep your prof

i think in the deepest sense it's not so true. it is true in the sense that since the 1940s there's really been a huge economic expansion that allowed a separate youth culture to develop financially in the way you couldn't have had in the '20s or the teens earlier. when you have a separate commercial fed by interests there are going to be lots of new things, not just in the 50s but, but the 70s, places to hang out, books, new literature, places to go out, derveltly, an effect on news. buddhism isn't old, they're new to america. they're new to us and i think there certainly has been an openness to the new in the last 50 years. but in the most important sense i say, well, no, you're going to find very religious people who are very wealthy and you're going to find very religious people who are very poor. it seems at the end of the day our financial situation is not what finally determines whether or not we're going to be interested in our souls in relationship with god. >> the poor usually display a keen interest in religion that is

now, what sense is there to that? >> well, there's various aspects of this that's important to understand. first of all the, violence is a feature of works that we create for children that encourage them to watch throughout the history of this country. we have a very different sense of whether violence per se -- >> love is not something that people have tried to encourage children to understand and know about? i mean, what is the difference between sex and violence? both, if any? >> there's a huge difference. >> thank you. >> we do not -- [laughter] >> the difference is we do not make films for children in which explicit sex happens. we make films for children in which graphic violence. >> there's a difference. we do not have a tradition in this country of telling children they should watch people actively hitting schoolgirls over a head with a shovel so they are messyless and shooting people in the leg so they fall down. i'm reading from the district court and pour gas hen on them and set them on fire. we protect chi

and it just doesn't make any sense. no economy sense. no security sense. no common sense.ar now from the t.s.a. that airline pilots will be allowed to skip some physical security checks at airports but that will just reignite the nerves among those passengers waiting, and there is a doubling standard, maybe justifiably but they will be mad all over. what is to stop folks from doing more of what we are hearing now, just skipping out on travel plans altogether? and really hurting the industry. >>guest: of course it would hurt the industry. but, the reality is, the industry could and would adjust if fewer people flew and they would reduce the capacity, and they would reduce employment, we would have another adverse impact on the economy, and the industry itself is pretty nimble and able to adjust and would adjust. that's not the point. the point is, as you discourage travel, you have a negative impact on the overall economy, and you know the numbers as well as i do. travel and tourism is an enormous business in the united states, and is absolutely vital to rebuilding the busi

i want project a sense of calm and deliberation. people look at the leader, if the leader panics, i was fearful -- the psychological tsunami would accelerate. anyway, the appropriate moment i got up and left the classroom. he knew i needed to make a statement. which i did. who expect me to talk about reading and heard america has been attacked. there was shock and worry and emotion. that all the rest of the country was feeling. >> story aside after that, i read in the book that you didn't want to scare the kids. in the room. you also well the world is watching, you had a room full of kids there. >> that's my point. in other words, creating a sense of panic would have been one way to do so would have scared the kids. i had been in crisis before as governor of texas. nothing like this, of course. it's very important for people head of an organization to project a sense of calm. and not to create a lot of emotion. and effect the psychology that people who you are trying to lead. if the leader panics or creates panic, everybody else wil

but they lead a common sense life and common sense means you don't spend what you don't have, you don't overburden people and you give people incentives and they see these as core values that if they were more perhaps litter it they would express more eloquently but they are no less fervent and passionate than a trained economist. and the other thing that happened, scott has pointed to this a bunch of times, they look at people in new york and say where do these people come from? what kind of value do they have? how do they think about things? they are just befuddled, angry, too, but befuddled. >> guest: you tie this back from a policy point of view, the thing that ignited all frustration that is now the tea party movement was the bailout. there were several things -- >> host: we have fiscal and now the bailout as a trigger of the catalyst. >> guest: it is part of the same thought process because what dog was saying about the common sense approach, all of a sudden the government says $700,000,000,000.1 reaction is you didn't know this ahead of time? another reaction that is deep is the

his sense of timing that we talk about, his participation, i never had the sense of justice stevens viewedhimself as someone trying to command a court majority. he was very strategic in the sense that i think he assumed at some point the court majority would form by the power of the idea. you did not have the sense of these ridings being these quirky little things. it was a strategic sense of sitting back, letting the court evolve and having a long view of the subject matter. eventually, in many areas, the court did come around and embrace his view. i think it was a sense of humility, that he is one person with eight strong colleagues and he's not going to try to win every time. a sense of fate in the capacity of threesome. >> the first panel talked about continuity and his jurisprudence. there has been of talk over whether his role in the court changed over time. he went from someone who is practically eccentric and recipes opinions and did not care about strategic consideration. he ended up almost unexpectedly as a real leader of the more liberal justices on the court, and unexpectedly s

that makes sense to do that. >> supervisorance bernd. >> okay. the motion to continue this item, supervisor alioto pier. >> can we continue this item, it does have a date on it. about >> it was amended to. >> i don't remember it being amended. >> supervisor daly would you like to restate your motion to amend motion? >> then i will move to amend the item for december 7th date and continue to that date. >> i'll restate my second. >> motion has been -- manages to continue. okay. the clerk is reminding me we haven't called item 34. why don't we call item 34. >> we haven't called 26 and 27. >> excuse me, 25 -- >> we can't call them until we decide what to do on this motion. so first thing, you call item 34. okay. and sprf daly first made a motion to aamend the motion and sit as a committee as a whole on december 7th potentially. colleagues with can he take that without observe objection. without objection that is amended. to continue to december 7th, why don't we take a roll call vote? >> avalos aye campos aye chiu aye chu aye daly aye dufty aye elsbe

last, i wanted to share with you a sense of where our residents are coming from. they are all over san francisco. again, it is our partnership with our cbos that provide us with the access to our communities and our residents in order to maximize placements. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. i cannot overstate how much support you have given us in crafting this legislation. i really appreciate your work. mr. rodriguez, mr. iglesias, and ms. simmons as well. what i wanted to do at this point in the hearing is to discuss -- to hear from chris iglesias first. then i will discuss the legislation and we will go into public comment. >> that pretty much concludes the presentations, but i did want to include that what we are working on right now -- we are working primarily with the chapter 6 contract requirements, including the human rights commission, reviewing the legislation and identifying areas of concern and possible amendments to them. we will get back to you. some of those include three levels. when we kick in -- size of projects? when do we escal

that it wasn't provocative in a sensational sense, it was stimulating, sensitized. i also was amazed and frankly relieved to see that there was a self organizing thing taking place, which was fanatically it seemed like artists fell into the categories of america as an iconic place, and iconic reality. >> here's some of the images while we are talking. >> i actually like to say something just briefly about this, but let me do this first. the second theme seemed to be about america as a place, and that was a sense of place within a landscaped, region, since of place as a home, and the third was america as people. it was a focus on identity, a focus on diversity, it was a focus on family or friend should come community, that kind of bond, and these themes were sufficiently broad enough to include tremendous variety of approach. this first one is a print that he gave that seemed absolutely appropriate didn't fit into the category of america's laconic laconic. so it is initially you see it as a jasper johns iconic image which he's done since the 50's using the image of t

add-on make sense. the view of the anticolonial deal is that you plug it and, in accents of other facts. you take it out and you can't explain it. why would someone do that? considered the case of the lockerbie bomber to considered earlier. i don't understand why any american president would do that, but when i put in the anticolonial assumption, it makes sense. if you look at america as the bully, as the power taken advantage of the world, that is occupying invading muslim countries, then who does that make the muslims fighting against us? anticolonial freedom fighters. they are fighting against american aggression. and so, if you look at it that way, i'm not suggesting for one minute that obama approves of the killing of americans. don't get me wrong. i'm saying what he looks like outlook raki, who portrays himself as anticolonial freedom fighter, obama might say hey at least i can bear that guy. he's a lot like my dad confided push the british out of kenya. this would explain why obama might have a m

we're not using common sense.ey put the scanners in and people like me or you or tea party or whatever, demand the scanners be removed in time, not because the san scanners are there or not there, there will be another incident. then the president can give that speech on the scanners. oh, i was trying to protect you. but those people over there stood in the way of security. which one is it, america? i think it's a combination of these three. it's okay. the friends are getting rich. it's the top down bottom up, the revolution. we can make heroes and create villains if anything goes wrong. that's what it is. america has changed. we always thought we knew who the good guys and the bad guys were. you know what? we don't anymore. we don't. the good guys are the ones who are probably doing the pat downs. they're not the bad guys. they're the guys on the front lines that you will yell at most likely. please don't yell at them. they're doing their job. don't confuse with what they're doing. they're americans, too. they're

my sense, nixon said it would take 50 years. the irony, i would think in 50 years in kennedy's case that the deification that follows the assassination in sure that the president would swing to the other extreme. only now in some ways. the kennedy presidency for a long time we heard he did not get much was session passed, the style or substance. ito's need to minimize. impact amount to a variety the cold war and civil rights, to use that favor term, he grew. in fact before his death he embraced the politically difficult position. >> guest: just as eisenhower had adoptive a progressive position on the civil rights in the previous administration. >> host: had he as opposed to that southerners would be as they could, in fact, be educated in a reasonably short amount of time to a new racial order. >> guest: you have put your finger on it. in a short order. because a lot of these presidents, if you put them together in a room, they would have very similar approaches, very similar visions in patriotic terms, in terms of social respons

does the military's no sense attitude about this object, shine from common sense light? we will explain. >> a cop relieved of his duties. what his own dash cam caught him doing, that got him demoteed. >> people on the left that don't want to touch entitlements. that is just unrealistic. >> battle lines being drawn in congress. after the break, what is at stake for ameri >> one week after historic mid-term elections unity among soon to be majority republicans in the house is already being threatened. jim angle reports on the problem, the stakes and whether a solution is even possible. >> the issue that gave birth to the tea party and elected many of the members is a major challenge to congress, one a key group will not let it forget. >> if elected i promise our $13 trillion debt will double. maybe triple. >> huge debt a play on the word huge debt is part of a national ad campaign to keep up the pressure on congress. >> i say borrow like there is no tomorrow. >> ads are supported by non-partisan foundation of pete peterson long time advocate of responsible spending. >> i b

give me the sense of that scene. >> the burden of that scene is on liam. he has seven or eight panels of dialog. he was off in vancouver making another film and came in for 48 hours to do that scene but it's a pivotal scene in the film because it basically gives you all the questions you got to ask of yourself. are you prepared to become this person, come out that scene and it's like a big big scene it's a a perfect example of is his job really difficult if he's talking to a blank piece of wood. i try in subtle ways to r re-engage and listen with the same level of intensity and he did magnificent in the morning and came back after lunch the first take he stumbled in his lines so i just put my hand on his arm and i didn't meet his eyes, i just put my hand on his arm and i was thinking, throw that away. >> charlie: forget it. >> don't worry about it. sort of like there's no judgment. no -- you know. yeah. it's just next take. bang. perfect. >> charlie: how do you explain that? just concentration? >> yeah, the curse of lunch time. >> charlie: wasn't going to

i think in the deepest sense it's not so true. it is true in the sense that since the 1940s there's really been a huge economic expansion that allowed a separate youth culture to develop financially in the way you couldn't have had in the '20s or the teens earlier. when you have a separate commercial fed by interests there are going to be lots of new things, not just in the 50s but, but the 70s, places to hang out, books, new literature, places to go out, derveltly, an effect on news. buddhism isn't old, they're new to america. they're new to us and i think there certainly has been an openness to the new in the last 50 years. but in the most important sense i say, well, no, you're going to find very religious people who are very wealthy and you're going to find very religious people who are very poor. it seems at the end of the day our financial situation is not what finally determines whether or not we're going to be interested in our souls in relationship with god. >> the poor usually display a keen interest in religion that is

you have no sense of humor. and here's a feminist with an incredible sense of humor. >> right, saying that feminists had no sense of humor was one of the ways that those who wanted to us go away used to try to demean and difin -- diminish us. in truth p we hadn't had a sense of humor we couldn't have done half the things we did. it really took a big sense of humor to break some of the barriers we broke and know that we would be laughed at in the process in many ways. >> you know, i just love. there was a whole string of comedians who were probably-- they wouldn't define themselves as feminists but clearly demonstrated those tendencies and i was really happy that she is following this train, if you will, of women who were forceful, who made fun of themselves but also at peace with themselves. >> dow still feel that women color are invisible in comedy, acting, the entertainment world. >> i don't. i know before the show we were talking about an article in "vanity fair" from a couple of years ago that said a profile

but if you look inside, there are some common sense cuts in there too. example, the commission suggests cutting down on copying costs by using double sided option on copiers. that's if the documents even need to be printed at all. using power saving option os computers would help to cut the budget as well. now these savings represent less than 1 percent of the cuts the commission said that we need. but some of them could be started now, by an executiveed on by the president. common sense said that we cannot wait. >> and indiana woman lies about her daughter's death, and is busted. the woman claimed her daughter was beaten to death by her dad. the day of the funeral woman stood in front of the congregation with a blanket in memory of her daughter and donation box. the woman's brother found the story fish, called police and found out his sister's daughter was still alive. he thinks his sister needed money to pay for a drug bill. common sense should have told her that the daughter would eventually resurrect. >> 13-year-old now california was told by his mid

but i didn't sense the same sense of urgency.i think like rob said, the sanctions are working on all three presently surprised the final point is such a provocative way to end for the discussion, which was just in terms of israel's role with the new republican conference, which i felt that the news really hadn't reached all the corners of the middle east where we were. it wasn't really people were asking us those questions. we didn't raise it. sometimes it's a full group, sometimes quietly. and that's a fun little provocative than you think i'm on drugs, but i tend to think that what could have been is that netanyahu may emerge as a lobbyist for proceeding and the new republican congress, that he will -- at a time that they want to cut fiala, cut egypt, cut jordan, kuwait israel, that he may emerge as someone who will try to work with republicans who met with majority leader canter has said he would meet with the majority, but he met with a very early right after that victory when he was in new york. he may say, you know, let's b

this makes sense. if we're going to have some kind of compromise, warner's idea makes sense. then somebody has a better idea that will make more job creation, i am open for business. tavis: you mentioned to the house. john boehner is going to be the man. we know that nancy pelosi is back as the minority leader. that issue has been settled. what about this notion that republicans were standing on weeks ago that there would be no compromise on these bush era tax cuts? are they starting to back off of that. >> that is yet to be seen. we have seen on a number of these discussions that the folks on the other side keep moving the goalposts. the campaign season is over. the couple of messages came part of the campaign. we have got to get our deficit under control. we have got to create jobs. the american people want to see us actually work together for the good of the country. if be republican leadership says that they want to take down president obama, that is not good policy and it is not good long-term politics either. i think we will check our hat at the door. we have got to put

while i was down there i don't know it just doesn't make any sense to me at all it seems like maybe the columbus georgia police i'm assuming that was the police force involved of the columbus georgia police just kind of i don't know why it doesn't really make any sense as i said was there something was the word that the word go out from from the commander of fort benning or something it's just it's kind of crazy and we're listening to the two ladies listening to what they they said. you know i wasn't there but based based on what the two the two women just said it just doesn't make any sense that that this would be happening the school the america's come under a lot of scrutiny in the last several years especially after those training manuals came out it was a few years back and it's really come under a lot of scrutiny and that's fine but scrutiny is a good thing but what happened to these ladies and all the other people there again i want an airboat based on what i heard it does not make any sense at all ok kayla if i could go back to you i mean again i'm i'm just kind of mystified her

they sensed i had too much of a stake in them. this is convoluted stuff. it is like watching the dating game when a guy give a better answer. you are at home and you think that guy represents me. i have to get out of the room. i had too much of a stake in it and could not settle in. i remember thinking i get it. they want you to be good at it. shut up and get good at it. tavis: it is clear you got over that a long time ago. >> i am doing radio now during the day, and i must say -- tavis: 3 hours. a lot of talk. >> i find it so easy. as i get older, it is much quicker in the gunfight. it is like "gunsmoke." all of a sudden it is getting, upper in the holster. i started plunging on tv. it is a little hiccup. when i get in stand-up, i go back to the basic mode and and a killer out there. in the interviews, i am a little fancier than i used to be. tavis: you still like the stand up? >> it is action. something can go wrong. everybody is sitting down on the floor. if it is never going to go wrong, you might as well be teaching the chop shop. i like the fact that

great sense of humor. but that its -- what is its rationale in the wellhead, and there was some solidarity between the united states and the allies on what nado's role is and that now is up for grabs. of the united nations, one of the interesting conversations the last year has been, was interesting is within the walls of the united nations are we still relevant anymore you remember when george w. bush and to toss into into the united nations and is approved or relevance. what everyone thinks about the way that war unfolded he was trying to suggest its relevance was declining and was interesting is people in sight of the institution are asking those same questions. we live in a much more fluid environment where there are rising powers who are clamoring for a role we want to change some of the of rules of a global trading system pushing the envelope on the issues of currency and the dollar's role in the world and that is going to come up for grabs. there of a nuclear non-proliferation that is under extreme

and have felt a great sense of responsibility to help out. in the spirit of that, we ask latoya cantrell to come here and talk about her struggle, her challenges and her resolve. because i think what she represents is the best of what so many of you represent. and for the grace of god every one of us could be put in the same position as latoya but how many would have the courage to become latoya? and actually step up and not give up. and so that's why we thought we couldn't get a better speaker today for a neighborhood empowerment necessary work initiative than someone who is empowered her neighborhood and networked her community across now this country. and notably and significantly in san francisco to talk about what she's done. she's an inspiration. featured in time magazine, new york times. "wall street journal." even tried to get her to run for political office she said, why would i do that? when i could do so much more as the head of the brood moore improvement association. or keynote speaker, big round of applause to latoya cantrell. [

was that in any sense derivitive of or from europe or elsewhere? >> sloochlt the mast followed on the lines of the supreme court decision which ruled against the bowers earlier supreme court decision that basically found that laws on sodomy were okay. the supreme court basically threw out these laws and in doing so it cited opinions by among a european court of human rights in strauss burg, and the people arguing this case it is been a tradition of the united states to pay a decent respect to the opinions of others. >> who is the chief justice in massachusetts >> it was margaret marshamarsha. >> originally from south africa >> an antiapartheid been marrieo the former new york city tony lewis. >> not only the echo and the language of the courts ruling didn't she a peel separation of the human rights she. >> she talked about canada. >> the appeals of some canada ontario. >> yes. so you feel that willy-nilly -- and it's going to seep into our institutions. i think what he's saying steven into our institutions notably the supreme court the massachusett

>> i got a good sense of it.ok at "wall street journal", my favorite national journal and read that, maybe i'm not supposed to be advertising -- >> sean: fox news owns it. >> i'm pandering. i follow the news, yeah. >> sean: your brother spoke out the president and said been -- you've been president for 20 months it is time for to you start taking responsibility. i'm sure you are aware he made those comments? >> i am, i'm grateful to my little brother. we love each other. his was an act of love. >> sean: you know that still is a mantra by the president himself. >> look, i've been around politics a long time. it's the way it is. presidents are criticized constantly during the presidency and sometimes after. that didn't bother me. >> sean: why you make the decision that you wouldn't say, it is your responsibility now? you made a decision not to attack president obama. >> it is not just president obama, i suspect i'll have that same point of view for whoever follows him. >> sean: jimmy carter when were you president,
