my name is ian chang. i've been a professional nightclub deejay in this great city of san francisco for approximate 15 years. i have known ms. cone for 10 of those years and i can definitely vouch for her character as well as being a respectable and responsible barone irand runner of the establishment. i guess i would like to speak on the -- on the matter of the condition, the timing conditions. it really doesn't make any sense to stop the music at midnight or 10:00 p.m., and it actually will hamstring her business because promotors will take their events elsewhere. the industry standard is essentially going to 2:00 a.m. if you have a 2:00 a.m. bar permit. and so to put these kind of restrictions on this bar is highly unusual. in the 15 years i've been doing this, i have never heard of this restriction at all. so it's a little odd. i think that a business -- a responsible business owner like debbie should be rewarded for the work that she has done and the effort she has put in to creating this establishmen

song just my habit ian says priorities have to change in your work he wants to leave the town and move away from all the drama to somebody like make a. left turn when the signal of the job or. they try to act big with. the people they need to really take off the streets to do that increase in pride isn't the only result of service cuts at her known days works in a pantry that has run out of funding it can't provide for those in need anymore we've been talking for years that in about two years we should be out of this recession and then the third year we continue saying you know in about two more years we should be out of this recession it doesn't i least at this level it doesn't seem like it's changing it is getting worse as shelters experience hits to their budgets homelessness is visible in the city but those that cause the financial have moved on people are forgetting that the financial crisis actually caused these cutbacks that we're facing day to day and in a place like new york having to suffer more is really a crime that's the crime. decades ago new work was booming but this is

ian katz, what does this day whh rupert murdochcalled the humblest day of his life. what does it change and where do we go from here? >> well, it's not a day we learn an awful lot of significant things. if anything the clearest lesson is wendy dang has a formidable right hook but it was a day of quite striking theatre i think. for in who sits in this country the idea of rupert murdoch who two weeks ago was the most powerful person.country being hauled into parliament to answer questions is prett pretty extraordinary and we had the dialog of him saying it was the humblest day of his lif that w pretty striking. the interesting thing is he and james murdoch came in saying sorry and contrition if you lied but the message was we're sorry but it wasn't else, was someone else's fault and that's the bit that will get tested over the next few weeks and months. >> charlie: they said it was people th are had trusted. >> it was other people. anyone but the people sitting there. we had an extraordinary day because though the focus was on the murdoch hearings we had hearings with senior policeman and

also need to argue that they need to make more changes to the agreements so that the benefits are really borne out. host: virginia beach, you are on with ian swanson of "the hill." caller: thank you for taking my call. i appreciate the opportunity to voice my opinion. i appreciate c-span in their ongoing work to make democracy more balanced. i have to agree with all the previous callers that these trade agreements have been written by lobbyists and not the people that are representing these people which is what the constitution refers to as "we, the people." i am totally discouraged by the latest of these agreements. those who tried organized labor agreements in mexico get shot down in the streets. mexicans are receiving billions of dollars in foreign aid from the united states when they are making hundreds of billions of dollars off of their oil they sell to the united states. where are we going to see some balance? host: you see all those events attributed to nafta? caller: most of it, yes. we have not had a balanced trade agreement with mexico since before nafta, and now we will allow mexican trucks on our highways? they don't speak eng
