from slave states. randolph said on the floor of the congress we who belong to that unfortunate portion of this confederacy which is south of the mason-dixon line in the east of the allegheny mountains have to make up our mind to perish or we must resort to the measures we first opposed the british aggression and usurpations to the sort of interesting as early as 1824 in fact earlier already out in the open was the idea of southern independence from the union leader to be called secession. so it was at that point we start seeing this shorthand roof of the mason-dixon line but if you look at the map, you will notice parts of the areas east are north of the mason-dixon line. a delaware goes up a little of the dixon line and what is now west virginia that china was still virginia as a whole can handle sticking at between it and ohio north of the line, and you may be able to see that new hampshire i have a kind of checkerboard color. in new hampshire did not officially abolished slavery until the civil war.

state. further, the bill restricts e.p.a.'s -- e.p.a. from ejecting to mps permits issued by a state. moreover, the bill clarifies that e.p.a. can deal an army corps of engineer act when the state concurs with the veto. these limitations apply only in situations where e.p.a. is attempting to contradict and unilaterally force its own one-size-fits-all policy on a state's water quality program. by limiting such an overreaching by the e.p.a., h.r. 2018 in no way affects e.p.a.'s proper role in reviewing state permits and standards and coordination pollution control efforts between the states. e.p.a. just has to get back to a more collaborative role in its long play as the overseer of the state's implementation of the clean water act. detractors of this legislation claim that the bill only intends to disrupt the complementary roles of e.p.a. and the states on the clean water act and eliminate e.p.a.'s ability to protect water quality and public health in downstream states from actions in upstrea

by state. well i guess pigs can fly i agree with newt gingrich not about politics of course but newt is right about the supreme court and progressive should pay attention here's what he said yesterday in iowa. even read the constitution if you read the first quarter the usual reasons. the factors the congress. culture stooge drug running costs the. prompts these numbers. then the lizard issue brings the beast as the british since the. american hostage is the court which is we should. lose since he moves. on this is fair nationally he once believed in the foreign leaders our constitution. this will challenge the american people and this gingrich agrees with our president thomas jefferson and frankly most of the other founders of this country let's break it down first newt's assertion that the congress can pass laws that limit the powers and the behavior of the supreme court constitution in section two of article three which establishes that the judiciary does give the congress the power to defin

first is the state itself. the state is all about power. the state is the ability to concentrate power in the a hierarchy and use it to enforce rules over a particular territory. all right? in the developing world world -d this again is why i think we sometimes take politics for granted. we assume that things will happen. like, you know, long term, i've lived in fairfax county for 20 years. and the potholes always get filled every spring. why? but not in new guinea? there's a hidden social structure that provides the services and does it pretty efficiently, at least many a rich county like fairfax. not so well in the district. it's funny why the differences happen. i think all of the antigovernment activist of which already many, especially in our society, don't understand that if you want a country that doesn't have a strong government that's able to enforce rules, you ought to move to somalia or afghanistan or, you know, a less developed country that actually cannot enforce rules on it's own territory. you know, somalia, if you want to ow

-- modern state modernity.aybe you can talk about that. it's at the heart of the arguments you're making here. >> guest: this book and others i mentioned here is perhaps the most comprehensive intellectuals of the muslim world taking on this very, very seriously and they get a great deal of respect because they are not turning away from it or giving us easy answers and not putting vails over anything, and it really does come down to the way i see it which is it's very hard to see true muslims being able to do this, but there are some ideas here that are coming to the floor, and i treat these as well in the last part of it that shows some indications that there is in islam in even traditional islam there are plenty of places to go in the theology of it where if you want to do it, you can find that what you want to do in terms of moving towards a more proceed churl, more modern way can be done, and -- >> host: it shrinks and roles and claims of islam vis-a-vis the state. >> guest: the one thing i think is the key

>> we do address a scenario where the state would impose a partial sales tax. under the current version, that would not cause our have sent to go away. under that scenario, we could end up with a sales tax a quarter cent higher than we have been over the last couple of years. one of the amendments to the legislation is to change that so that if there is a 0.75% state sales tax imposed hours would go away. so if the state we imposes a sales tax of 0.5% or less, hours remains in place. our sales tax rate would be no higher than it has been over the past several years. if they impose anything greater than that, hours -- ours would automatically be ascended -- rescinded. chairperson chu: we do have an economic analysis from the controller's office and a report from the budget analyst. >> been rosenfield from the comptroller's office. mr. egan is on a well-earned vacation. i thought i would briefly touch on a couple of the highlights from our report, which we issued yesterday. to start with, just a bit of background on what the sales tax looks like in san francisco.

of states that disagree with that. but that is the only burden on the tax burden on overstock. all we are asking them to do is collect customer sales tax. they collect today they presumably benefit from the utah sales-tax and corporate offices but it's the customers who's fire departments are not being funded because overstock sales tax. >> there is the other issue of how the

the state will transfer services to state governments and local governments. to city and local governments. we have the legislature's proposal to eliminate or condition the redevelopment agencies which is not directly addressed by this measure. there is an overlap. a lot of the economic activities have an impact on our economic climate in the city. within the current state budget, there are a number of figures in the budget and what the state did to balance this budget as i am sure you have heard is rather than actually does make all the cuts that it needed to get to balance, the state made an aggressive assumption about the revenue that will be coming in over the next year but essentially said that if that revenue does not command, there will be triggered some place said that if we don't see the revenue, these cuts will go into effect. despite the fact that the state has passed a budget, we are potentially going to see additional cuts to public safety, child care, other services in the city. i know that the issues of government service are certainly relevant

russia is not the united states. is never going to present to be the united states. the russian empire and the soviet union were not accidental. it bound together economically and politically regions that had a mutual dependence your division of the liberals in russia and the united states was that following the fall of the soviet union they would reorient themselves towards europe, the united states. they fail to understand that these countries cannot compete in any reasonable time frame in europe, the more dependent they became on your of the week became. and also russia as a geopolitical entity. it experienced some terrible wars in its history, and its extremist cautious about expansion of things like nato. it regards made as a military alliance. we regard it as a club of nice people are fairly mismatched about what it is. and as the united states moved into the balkans and nato moved into the baltics, as the orange revolution, the ukraine took off, as the united states became very influential in central asia, the russian saw a second encirclement taking place. so

the constitution of the united states and 44 states common law and laws of all 50 states recognize the right to use arms in self-defense. in 1895 the supreme court case, beard vs. the united states, approved the common law rule that a person may repeal force by force in self-defense and concluded when attacked a person is entitled to stand his ground and meet any attack made upon him with a deadly weapon. in 2008, supreme court ruled in district of columbia vs. heller that the inherent right of self-defense has been central to the second amendment right. and that the amendment protects the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. right to carry laws have proven to be effective. since 1991 through 2009, 23 states have adopted the right to carry and violent crime rates have declined 43%. this all comes on the heels of a five-fold increase in the number of shall conceal carry case since 1986 to 2006. along with this, since the 1980's, when concealed carry issues started, the number of permit holders is estimated to have raise from one million to six million

yes, a failed state in pakistan would not be in the united states interest. is hit in the international interest to have continued nil-nil relations particularly with the pakistani military? that's a complicated piece of business on that border up there. absolutely. so that's what we do. we undertake... understanding with our eyes whid open some of the complexities. we understand the frustrations and disappoints we're going to have but our job is to pursue the naonal interest and i think to date to summarize it's at the end of ts first term presidenobama has ended the wain iraq and has us on the... ending our... the war in afghanistan and pushin towards a stable situation if we have pushed al qaeda further on stragic defeats, is if we've been able to focus tightly and improve the global economic situation and started to focus on, as i said, some of the real top priorities we need f the future and we have an increased american... a respect and admiration in the world it would have been a pretty good first term. >> rose: you've had interesting things to say abo

>> usually when it goes to the states, the state is the responsible party but we also work with the statesnd we work with the locals as well to try and ensure that the money goes through to continue on to -- where it's distributed to. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thanks for holding this hearing, senator mccaskill are both here. we probably had as many disasters in missouri this year as in any year that anybody is aware of. we had the spring flood in the mississippi that mr. masingill mentioned and still challenges there because of that. the black river at poplar bluff flooded. the missouri river looks like it will be in flood stage through the entire state from the iowa border to st. louis for all of august. and then a number of tornadoes including one that hit the st. louis airport and the area around that. and the tornado that mr. o'brian described so well. so we've had lots of fema experience. and flooding in branson and at the lake there. lots of -- lots of problems. i think we've tried to deal with those the best way we could but, i know you got to leave and

in control in that state and how the voting rights act works in that state so we have states that are covered by parts of the voting rights act and states that are not covered. i will give two examples, though, that show some of the nuances when you're looking at the impact of the voting rights act and this round of redistricting and let me talk about north carolina for a minute. because the first congressional maps that were proposed by our republican controlled legislature in north carolina actually increased the minority percentage in both of the states' two congressional districts. and throughout the state african-american leaders were unhappy about that. and the reason is because they felt that that was actually draining their influence from other congressional districts in the state. and so where they had a history of being able to elect a candidate of choice in a district that was 42% african american, they don't want that district to be packed. what they would call packed into a 50% black district. i think, an interesting contrast is with the situation with latino voters in ne

and when the funding comes through, it will come through to the state -- from the state controller to thel local toer and they will fund the realignment plan. our sport -- it will become effective on october 1, 2011. my first concern is that it is october 1, 2011, and now here we sit in july, and there is a lot of work to be done. fortunately, with the collaborative partners, which i really want to recognize those agencies that sit on the executive committee and other entities, such as the mayor's office, and other departments such as the office of economic and workforce development, also hsa, and others that do not have an official seat on the committee, yet were critical to create a collaborative realignment plan that joined in this effort wit. there is a listing of all those individuals that helped develop it in the body of the plan. i would like to say a special thank you to them and to recognize the city's spirit of collaboration. i work with the chiefs from across the state. we're in the same place in terms of developing the plans. san francisco has a lot to be proud of we have

the state has been... the republicans want to spend about $34 billion and so cut a lot of programs, make some shifts to make sure that we are not raising taxes to get this settled. they say that raising taxes is absolutely the wrong thing to do in this very fragile economy. governor dayton, on the other hand, says that there are valued programs that would be lost and he's talked about draconian cuts that the republicans want to put in place. he's offered... he has had a tax increase proposal on just the wealthy. he whittled it down to just millionaires, that was rejected. today he actually came out with a second option which is a cigarette tax increase. now, the republicans say any tax increase at all is a non-starter. >> woodruff: are they coming closer together or farther apart? what's your read on it? >> it actually seems like there's been steps backwards since the shutdown started. last week they were in intense negotiations behind closed doors. they were saying very little to the media. this week they

mostly nato states that have recognized kosovo or treating them as a minority and the other had states that have not recognized kosovo independence and not treating serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all other citizens of serbia but we must remember that the key to the situation in kosovo is really in nato hands they control militarily the entire province so really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate or not tolerate and we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men it really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. this is us here still to come on the program america's burgeoning debt is causing companies to content run. we are people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible way takes to leav

the the only countries that are really angry at the united states are those in which the u.s. is interfering with the internal affairs of those countries either with bombs or invasions occupations do you know i think there are a thousand military bases around the world in terms of occupation that's a lot of. well that's right those are u.s. bases but that's what creates the anger in the anti american sentiment if if the u.s. just dismantled those bases we'd find that we're living in a very harmonious world where there is no military threat against the united states no nation state has the money i mean we're broke but everybody's broke or the military means to attack and invade the united states this is the time that we should be capitalizing on dismantling the military industrial complex the for an overseas empire and establishing a peaceful harmonious society with the rest of the world to take up let's be realistic here i mean do you see this happening do you see the u.s. dismantling these bases i mean even in places where clearly this country is not wanted there even some of

is not very well liked in the united states either right now. and that always has to do with how perceptions are being managed or are being stated. if you, if news daily is that pakistan is the source of trouble for american forces in afghanistan, that without the detail of what the context is if it is said that, you know, the u.s. asked pakistan to do x, y, z and pakistan refused, etc., the ordinary guy in mobile is not really an expert on foreign policy. although there are those who would argue there aren't many experts inside the beltway either -- [laughter] but the poor guy in mobile, alabama, is catching that 30-second sound bite on radio as he's driving home from his job, and he hears something negative about pakistan, that's how his perception is being created. in pakistan the reverse is happening. and the u.s. made a huge mistake several years ago when you shut down your united states information agency which was a huge public diplomacy operation which, basically, was about explaining america to people. now your attitude is we give you m

it is a state within a state. they have their own economy and they had their own businesses and their revolution as it exists in egypt, the uprising as it exists, whatever you want to call it, has not yet focused on what will be that future role of this pebble in the room. the floor is open. yes. direct your question to somebody. push it up on the side, i think. [inaudible] the question is about yemen. when we talk about the arab spring and the uprising -- i would also like to hear little bit more about georgia. that seemed to be a key in the region. >> margot and david white at you say something about jordan and yemen. why would you start on yemen, the uprising of the yemen that has been going on for about a decade. and it has involved people from south yemen that are not too happy about the union of the two yemen's and the short end of the stick that they got. its minorities in the north near the saudi border that have had a revolution going on for several years and the tribal disputes. so there has been a long-

again, one of the consequences for your state and other states if this doesn't get done by tuesday? >> well, we don't know exactly what the consequences are. i think, first of all, i don't think scare tactics make a lot of sense. i think we need to work together to resolve these issues. when the state of iowa was facing a potential shutdown, i said we're going to do whatever we can try to provide services as best we can. fortunately the legislature came through and ended up reaching an agreement, a budget. i have a split legislature just congress is split. i have a republican house and a democratic controlled senate. it was not an easy process. but we got the job done. it was close to the deadline. but it was accomplished. i expect the president and the congress to resolve this as well. one more ask you question on this. do you think that the tea party conservatives in the house have been too unwilling to compromise? >> well, i think the people that were elected in 2010 came in with a real message from the voters. and that is, we need to dramatically change washington. we cannot con

[applause] we are now at the time when 16 states, puerto rico and the district of columbia do not have the death penalty. many more states are addressing this issue, connecticut and montana, colorado, kansas, these are all states that have had bills in their legislature to into the death penalty that have moved through least one house in some cases, both houses. connecticut passed a bill a couple of years ago to end the death penalty that was vetoed by the then republican governor who is no longer in office. this is for states in four years and we expect more on the way. >> this deserves applause. >> we're making progress in california. the sta

my wife and children the united states languages the future of human society perves well my next book is about a series of things that i find most fascinating my next book is about traditional societies tribal societies like those are you good friends who raise children differently from us in the united states and they treat all people differently from us in the united states and the religions of different from us in the united states in the first world in europe and japan but fascinated by why these differences from between traditional societies and modern society and what we can learn from these traditional societies in many ways some aspects of the way that they bring up children are infinitely superior to what we do in the united states and some ways in which they treat their old people are better than the tragedies that play out in the united states so i'm fascinated by these differences between traditional societies and modern american the first world society and very much looking for a bit of work dr jared diamond thanks so much for being with us tonight you're welcome thank yo

of the united states, dr.let's briefly run through how the next hour and a half will unfold. each of our debaters will have six minutes for their opening statements to make their case for and against this motion. and talking of timing, there's going to be a clock on the screen as we have done in the past; when you see it count down to zero join me in a round of applause for the debater speaking and that will ensure that we continue this debate in a timely fashion. after those opening statements, we're going to have our debaters cross-examine each other's views and opinions, and then we're going to bring you, the audience, into the conversation in three ways. we have some notable people in the audience tonight, we have students from the munk school of global affairs here also and finally we have a raft of questions from our own website, facebook and twitter, which i will weave into the conversation. so how did this audience vote, coming into this evening? did you believe the 21st century will belong to china? l

and how we're going to implement some of the other proposals in the state budget. so we will fold that conversation together and bring that to the board probably within the next couple of months. the timing is still a little bit uncertain, but this fall, to have bought the policy discussion and financial discussion about what the impacts are on operations. supervisor mirkarimi: now that some of the blanks are being filled in, because the state appears to be arriving at a budget resolution, there will be another meeting, and we have already hit -- already had two on this. we can begin to round out what we expect to win with the first infusion be? january or sooner? -- when will the first infusion be? >> likely, october 2. when they release on october 1, they released into our custody for probation supervision. the court commitments will take a little bit longer. one thing i would like to say is that as we're building this realignment plan, alternatives to sentencing will be key. so the judges are going to have a core component on how the sheriff's budget and populat

that's coming from the state, correct? >> exactly. that is in the form of the formula funding that's going to each county. supervisor mirkarimi: and then the general fund for san francisco is $4.8 million is what that looks like? >> that's the portion of the general fund that's already appropriated. >> from our budget that we just deliberated on. >> exactly. so right now this is simply the funding sources that we have in hand appropriated in the budget and allocated to us by the state. and what would that look like if we distributed those two pods of money. so the biggest pieces as we've discussed here and as included in the plan are the budget to, as i just said, re-open the two dorms at the small jail and in the adult probation department. of course in the adult probation department in terms of the population numbers, the greatest impact, this would include funding the new probationers, former parolees, now probationers, at the former ratio managing the probation department which is probably inadequate as the probation chief will te

we have states that are covered by parts of the voting rights act of states that are not covered. i will give two examples though that show some of the nuances when they were looking at the impact of the voting rights act in this round of redistricting. let me talk about north carolina for a minute, because the first congressional maps that were proposed by our republican controlled legislature north carolina actually increase the minority percentage in both of the states to congressional districts. and, throughout the state, african-american leaders were unhappy about that and the reason is because they felt that was actually training baron funds her mother congressional districts in the state. so where they had a history of being able to elect a candidate of choice in a district that was 42% african-american, they don't want that the district to be packed. what they would call pat into a -- an interesting contrast is the situation with latino voters in nevada, where there is a question of whether or not they're going to make the trade-off between being a majority in a single dis

but it's quite shocking to see one nation, one state-- the united states-- having such difficulty getti its act together. and that, it seems to me... when they all agree on the problem they just can't agree on the solution. >> rose: exactly so. but a well-designed democracy has mechanisms for addressing that because people don't agree. that's what happens in democracy. you have parties. your problemit seems to me if i may say so, is that you have an increasingly dysfunctional political system-- both a the federal level, meaning congress-- and in individual stat. think of california. and that's not aecessary feature of a liberal democracy, it's a particular problem of the united states. the problem is no longer george iii. (laughs) you don't need the system of checks and balances which was designed to prevent the return of british tierney is now preventing necessary reform. >> rose: that actually was solved when george washington decided not to seek a third term. >> indeed and, you know, george... i mean prince william, i think, is notn immediate threat to american democracy. >> rose: bu
