i was taken aback by the grand jury report the failure to mention the need for that project with respect to that community that rides the 30 stockton. it felt like there was not enough due diligence with regard to purpose of the project. it is important to create jobs and i value that anyone doubt love this project just needs to ride the 30 stockton any day at a time and will cut off a believer. really take into are what that community needs in terms of what's the most immediate avenue for relief. we might also be able to talk about the benefits of parking and anything else, clipper, all of these things need to happen. i'm really looking forward to something like that in the future. >> maybe we could ask the policy and government folks to offer some suggestions on how we might do that. and you are right. if people see things out of comment -- out of context, leigh said a chance to talk about it. >> the discussion is happening at the federal level right now with taking all of this funding away with regard to transit. that is one i hope all of us as san franciscans would be calling policy-

for me and i think other members of the board, we were a bit taken aback. that is not what we believed would happen. we thought the first year we began to implement this change, the evolution to the service model, we would tremendously increased general fund support. i understand the issue of other funds we had before, but we did not have those a few years ago and were not spending $20 million more than we are now. do you understand what i am talking about? i do not want to get panicked over this and think we cannot afford it. in recent weeks, when i have been telling people how much our general fund is now, people are as panicked as i am. we obviously do not have enough information about how this might work. >> i feel really lucky to be able to look, to some degree, from our budget back to the special ed budget i had in st. paul. it was similar. the same size child care. very similar demographics in terms of ethnicity, poverty, and things like that. i actually had more teachers and about the same number of paras, and the same size budget as this. we were s

. >> i was really taken aback by the close calls you had and some of the path your friends took. some of them did not end up so well. >> no. unfortunately. if you grow up in my neighborhood and you were dumb enough to take a shortcut through the projects, to save yourself five minutes, dumped a couple times when it was pretty rough, i would get jumped quite a bit but you get used to it after a while it grows on you. but aside from that, ironically when i was a kid in thaw hospital for so long, you submitted blood transfusions and blood being tested in the eagles, in my neighborhood where a lot of teenagers became her when addicts, my teenage years coincided with a moment in new york history when drugs started coming in big time. to make a very long story short i developed a phobia, never began to think about doing that -- going that route. some of these things that seemed so troublesome to me were protective. >> your brother ran into a situation of his own and ended up having to leave home pretty abruptly. >> interestingly enough he had a girlfriend whose family were police, poli

they say they are taken aback, they are trying to make sense of it. not quite ready to make a statement just yet. for stow, he has been here at sf general more than two months now, in serious condition, just tuesday he had to undergo emergency surgery after suffering a 30-second seizure. his family reporting he is doing much better this morning and is alert. >> in fact, they posted new information on their website as of last night. brian had two eyes open, his right hand was either trying to give a thumbs up or old up two fingers. he closed his eyes and opened them on command. when asked his last name he mouthed stow. for the latest as well as updates on his condition, visit nbcbayarea.com and search bryan stow. we'll have more coming up in a report from los angeles at 6:15. there is a twist in a controversial san francisco police shooting. san francisco police now say they did not fire the bullet that killed kenneth harding. a new report from the coroner shows the caliber of the bullet does not match ammunition used by the police department. it does

reports indicate that the democratic caucus was taken aback by the reports that the president is seeking a $4 trillion deal and that medicaid and social security are on the table. were you and your colleagues caught offguard? >> i don't know if we were caught offguard. i think the caucus is clearly concerned about, a, getting the debt limit so that we don't default on america's bills. and we stabilize the economy and continue to grow the economy. and we are also very focused on making sure that medicare beneficiaries and social security beneficiaries are not adversely affected. we do want to see the deficit brought down and the debt addressed. but i think they want to have assurances that social security recipients and medicare recipients will be unharmed by any effort that we make. but i think they understand that we've got to work all focus on the fact that in a very short period of time, america is not going to be able to pay its bills, and that will have a very bad consequence on everybody's pension funds, on homeowners interest rates, on consumer interest rates. it will not be somet

i was taken aback at how much this one individual case has almost provoked an identity crisis in france. that this laissez faire, do anything you like if you're powerful man with women, this kind of aspect of french culture that has been sometimes accepted, sometimes overlooked. that this is now being questioned in france. >> yes, you're absolutely right. there have been many statements that were very interesting to that he infect. both by male and female politicians saying that their behavior had to change. you know, in the media as well, a lot of comments about it as to what would be the long term impact of this dsk situation and it's too early to say, of course. but it's going to be very interesting to see whether within the next few wikz or month, whether it be the french parliament, for example, or even within large french companies, for example all this promises and all these questions that have been raised as to whether french men to behave differently or whether that will all be, you know, a little more than wishful thinking. >> and there is a love-hate relationship between fran

wouldn't negotiate with him, and i can tell you, i think senator reid, leader reid, was really taken aback, because i think he read the situation the way you have that it first had to be clear that the boehner proposal could not pass in the senate, and then it would be time for a serious negotiation. but instead, mcconnell, the republican leader, said he will not negotiate with the democratic leader, the majority leader of the united states senate and has begun a filibuster of the reid approach, denying a simple majority vote, which is what happened in the house, they had a simple majority vote, leader reid asked for the same in a senate, a simple majority vote, mcconnell refused and therefore is filibustering the only possible vehicle that can get across the finish line in time. >> senator kent conrad, i know you have to get back to the senate floor. thank you very much on this report on the latest level of brink manship in the senate. thank you very much. coming up, more on the policy and politics playing out in washington. the balanced budget amendment has been called the single stupide

i was taken aback because i could not figure a response. i could always think their response. it made me think. what have you tried? what if there is not mean streak in the sense that we think of it today? you can go online to the store around the corner by something dumb and have it shipped to you. i am shopping around the corner on my and they still have to apply sales tax. nearly 50% compete -- of computers are sold on line. consumer electronics are sold on line. look at circuit city. they're gone. some of the others are big supporters because they are scared to death they will be the next to go. big box retail will be a thing of the past, which might be good for small-town retailers, but i am not sure that is good for retailing. >> this is getting some attention in congress. senator durbin and therefore cannot be main street fairness act. what do you want to see congress to do? >> we want them to adopt the main street fairness act as they have been working on for 10 years now which gives states the authority to require retailers to collect their sales tax if those states h

i was taken aback.t there was just support, you know? someone stepping out and doing something they're passionate about, doing something they love, and knowing about it, because, the fact they can see it in the way they were traveling. i talk about it in the book, all the 20 countries, no matter how difficult it got, how many times i got kicked by a bull, got hit in the face by a surf board, you know, or got beat by 7-year-olds, i had a great time. >> jimmy: the bengals don't care, , all. >> no, no. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: by the way, ocho cinco is doing the -- kind of the same thing, but here in the united states. >> i think he's trying to follow in the foot steps. >> jimmy: he is ripping you off. >> he read the book. >> jimmy: you have talked to him about this? >> i did. >> jimmy: he played soccer, right? >> already did it. >> jimmy: you had already done that. >> he rode the bull. i got kicked by the bull. >> jimmy: that's unacceptable. i mean, it really is. he has to do his own thing. >> it happens. >

promise so are called, he not only remembered me but ask, wife is doing and the kids and i was taken aback. i would love to take you to dinner. he said we can't do it. i am recovering from major surgery and i don't think i can make it. i will bring dinner. as we started talking his voice started cracking. he said i served four years in congress. i was on the cover of time magazine and recognize the all-around world and when you leave that place nobody remembers you or cares. i am trying to recover from major surgery and not one of my former colleagues have called to say how are you doing? the only guy who calls me is a guy in the wrong party who came 20 years after i left. his voice started breaking. i said you need to know something. what you went through setting a protocol and standards at 25 years later when another president faced impeachment and republican congress was doing it we had done this rule that became the template that we used. that is not a bad legacy for a tournament kid from new jersey. and he said okay. we can go out to dinner. come over. it was not to be because a coupl

and some people are a little taken aback by that because they think that maybe he should be a little bit more outgoing or friendly but he's not a back slappy kind of leader and i think people like the steadiness they see. >> host: you know, he has pledged as you said to be nonracial and race neutral president yet he got himself embroiled in a little mess and you write a little bit with the so-called beer summit when harvard professor gates was, of course, arrested by a cambridge policeman for invading his own home. >> guest: right. >> host: but in any case, the beer summit seemed to be a discordant note in the race neutrality. >> guest: right. >> host: talk about that. >> guest: that's interesting. as you say, that's exactly what happened. the incident in professor gates' home. when president obama addressed it, it was percolating as an issue but it wasn't really a huge national issue. but he was asked in the last -- the last question at a news conference, they always tell presidents and the press staff be careful of that last question and the last question was about this incident an

it took us all aback because we thought he would be a compromise leader.ad, he created tremendous fear, tremendous fear which breeds uncertainty. uncertainty means no spending, uncertainty means no spending by businesses, it means no hiring it was a setback. he caused the panic, not the media. >> so, tom, you've been in washington a long time. the reality is the president got very close to a deal working it himself and that blew up. he obviously took a different tact here. >> he was working a deal with john boehner. a lot of people thought they would get that done. it was a grand deal, but the speaker couldn't sell it, and the house of representatives, i think -- it's really kind of foolish to talk about winners and losers at this point. there are no winners i see on this landscape at the moment, and we're going to have to kind of work our way through a very, very swampy piece of washington real estate to see whether we can get to the high ground or not. but obviously, this has not been a great time for the president, it's not been a great time, especially

. >> i think we're all taken aback i was sitting down and i could not breathe because i knew it was followingase, so closely. i was just so surprised. at the same time they had to have an objective charge which was to follow the state guidelines on conviction of murder. forces they're subjective feelings which is what they've been talking about on television forces- they're subjective feelings. >> personally we felt the she was guilty or secon-- sickened we need to separate the jury's duties and their personal feelings. >> dr. you were saying that once you look at the justice system and if the jury system as opposed to making this as displaced anger against of the jurors. what did you mean by that? >> what i mean by that is that look, they've came in and did their job. the jury system is flawed because when you listen to how these the jurors got on and the rainfall in the case already. typically view-and already, they were following the case this high profile nature of this case was difficult to find somebody that was not only going to be biased. if the other part is that she has already-test
