that he said that. but i haven't seen any -- at least i haven't seen his actual statement that he hasn't said that. it does appear in print that he said that he hadn't said that, but he didn't sign that article, and what had occurred was my father was trying to bring to the attention of condoleezza rice one of the things that he was trying to do which was something that he did, and throughout the book he was proposing various things to try and work out various peaceful solutions to problems. and in this instance he met with a fellow who i think his name was hadley, is that correct? it might not be, but in any case, it was an assistant to condoleezza rice. >> the american he met with was bruce riedel. >> bruce riedel, sorry about that. thank you. and mr. riedel told my father, you know, there's only so far i can go with this paper because i'm leaving, i'm going back to the agency. he was an agency guy. and that he said, and do you know what's going on? my replacement they're basically sending over to the

there are noise-dampening systems that can be placed on the buses to be sure that we comply with that. also, i just want to

>> that i did not think that. >> that did not cross your radar? >> not at any point in the conversation. i thought if he wins, he will go against a company. >> when he reflected on the conversation, it would immediately spring to mind? >> no. at no stage did you harbor any such fear or concern? >> no. >> although i have heard similar insinuations from others there was a threat about it. we just dismiss them. >> someone said that an elected government it was by mandate. they're thought to be in the public interest. it did in fact on the commercial impact and media companies. would you agree? >> i am sure that is recorded properly. of course i agree with that. >> i'm just trying to explore your thinking in 2010. you have mr. brown put on your evidence hostile to news international. you have mr. cameron is that right? he says he is favorable. he is not hostile. >> he is not hostile to the farm. it is how this would weigh in your thinking. this is something you should be thinking about. >> it depends. gordon brown if he accept the premise that he is i

way, and, secondly, in a way that is digestible, that it's usable, that is productive. there's so little information that's relevant to actual services quickly available that i think that by making this information available to-in a very practical way-to everyone that's involved, but particularly to the criminal justice practitioner that doesn't normally have access to this, this will help strengthen these programs. dr. peterson, i want to go to you because you've mentioned some of the issues that the physicians are facing in terms of when they do their screening and so on, and you also mentioned off camera that you were attempting to work with them on motivational interviewing skills. you want to talk a little bit about that? yeah, and i'm speaking from my experience working with trying to implement sbirt into primary healthcare settings and emergency departments or emergency room settings in wisconsin. one of the things that was very difficult in terms of the implementation, one i mentioned earlier, that busy physicians, it's very difficult for them to find time. the

by the way, one note that i will make is that i don't think that the data that we have before us backs up the claims that have been made in terms of rank choice voting disenfranchising certain communities. that's why i think what commissioner avalos was saying is very true which is we have to be careful about how we use that term because the fact is that over-voting and mistakes happen in just about any system you use and they happen more in some communities than others, and so i think we have to be very careful when we make those kinds of claims and that's why, you know, i think that i always felt that having an in-depth analysis of the data is the best way to deal with these kinds of assertions because i don't think in my view, i don't think the data supports that, but i do think that the further analysis would be helpful. >> ok. is there anything -- i mean, i get the wanting to look at the legislation and anything that might be in there and double checking that and seeing if there's anything but is there anything else off the top of your heads at least right now that comes that you

it is that. because let's face it, if you live in an environment where your top hundreds of officials are not just engineers and not just really smart guys, though they are that, but they are also worth billions and billions and billions of dollars, well, you don't want that information to get out. and yet we live in an information society. you remember when wiki leex came out in the united states, right. >> rose: yes, i remember. >> i was in the emirates at the time and i was seated next to a minister. >> rose: you hang out in the emirates but i don't. >> i don't hang out in the emirates, that's not truement i was there for the weekend. >> rose: for a conference or something. >> some god forsakeen conference and i was sitting next to some minister from qatar without said to me that we believed that we actually leaked wiki leaks ourselves because it made us look so good. >> rose: there were those kinds of conversations in which diplomats were heard, unknowing to themselves, that they might be lat

the thesis of my book is that that's only half the story, and the other half that we should pay more attention to is how constrained the presidency is and that, in fact, the other institutions of our government have done a remarkable job of observing, rooting out secrets of the presidency, scrutinizing what the presidency's doing, pushing back against the presidency and then legitimating its policies. and i describe this at length in the book. the way this links up to obama continuing bush's policies is there are many reasons why obama continued bush's policies, some of them are obvious. when he became president, he had different kinds of responsibilities, he had different access to different types of information. and there were many precedents that were available to him, executive branch precedents that he didn't want to walk away from. but i think the most important explanation for why he continued bush's policies is that right under our nose those policies had been vetted by the other institutions of our government, altered and then blessed. this is true of military commissions, m

of her defense spending but that's so that's. i want to ask you do you think it's a false dichotomy and mitt romney is there presenting in san diego saying you know if we cut defense to spend money on social services our our country's going to basically be completely weak so we can't do that and you hear people booing when he even mentions the fact about spending money on social services are you looking at more libertarian minded where do you stand on that on my account of putting on basically saying that we cannot spend money on social services that our country every week and broke. i mean we can't spend money here we're spending about twice as much as we bring in so that number's got to come down a lot of the tea party republicans little got elected in two thousand and ten admit that part of that number to go down is going to happen to defense spending the idea that you can't the social spending required defense spending cuts i think is kind of a false choice and i think he's kind of doing that because it is the kind of the eas

how do you will see that? >> can i answer that? can i answer that? >> i just want to clarify, and then i want to hear from mr. grossman. you have to look at the process. 67.21e, that is the hearing. we provide a method for hearings. once the hearing is done, if we wish to defer to another municipal body with enforcement power, that is where 67. c -- 67c is about. at 67.35 is to circumvent all of that, not go to supervisor records, not go to the sunshine ordinance task force, where they are actively trying to adjudicate them selves on the run. but say they cannot get a record. they then called the city official, they call the mayor's office. if the mayor's office does not take any action on it 40 days, under sunshine ordinance, they can go directly to you or they could go to court to get satisfaction. >> you are not seeing 67.35d

that will do it? >> that gets us... that doesn't solve the long run budget issues. >> rose: why do they do that knowing that knowing that the political world has said before-- although it's suspect now-- that if you have 8% unemployment you cannot be reelected. >> well, that was bad... >> rose: analysis? >> well, by losing the midterms they lost the ability to pass any legislation. >> rose: right. >> but also then they reacted the wrong way by thinking the way to react to that was going to a cringe and adopting the republican position. but i think they've learned better than that now and... i'm optimistic that if obama's reelected that he will certainly push for stuff that will do more to reduce unemployment. that what i'm talking about can provide a template for our maximum goals. >> rose: you're convinced if obama is reelected he'll engage in more government spending to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment? that simple? where do you think that spend willing take place? >> i think it will take place largely...

does that. -- the department head that does that. >> briefly, can i flesh out mr. grossman's -- the referral from the past five years, part of the concern about whether it is willful vs. non-willful is that warner to of those 35 cases may have been dismissed by the ethics of staff finding that the complaint and at the time that they filed their complaint had knowledge whether it was willful or not willful, but the task force determined that it had been willful and referred it to ethics. he may have been dismissed because the complaint and hadn't alleged at the outset that it was willful. >> partly because of some omissions in the ordinance, and partly because of some differences in interpretation between and the task force and -- and there have been some questions as to who is and is not required to appear as a respondent. the difference is dealing with public meetings, it does not say that in the ordinance. the task force has determined this is a question of the spirit rather than the letter of the law. the ethics commission staff says, it doesn't say so in the or

and that -- that data would tell us that. ok. algebra one and two. 263 out of the 300 students that were enrolled in algebra one and two received credits, 88% of the students. 204 of those students received an a, b or c. 59 received a d. and 29 received an f. in algebra one and two. in english language development courses, again, one of the reasons that we would do this is that we would give these students an opportunity in summer school to potentially take a course that would offer them room during the regular school year to take a course that is actually meeting the a-g requirement. 138 of them received credit. only 14 were d's. and three were f's. so 98% of the students. supervisor campos: speier olague. -- supervisor olague. supervisor olague: i was wondering what the economic breakdown is. whether they're children from families whose parents have college degrees or not. that sort of thing. trying to get a sense of that. >> ok. i can make a note of that and pull that. all right. any other questions before we move on? ok. so y

that is about $900,000 cost to the that is something that probably would have proposed even without that. but we do need better fare inspection to the commander a sign from the police department who oversees that unit, among many others, has done an outstanding job of restructuring that units, which is the approach we will bring over to the parking enforcement as well. we have much more productivity, much more visibility of that unit, but we felt that we needed more resources there. but we do also anticipate higher fare revenues as a result and high your citation revenues. we have budgeted sum increases on both of those line items. in the case of parking, we're seeking higher fare revenues. we do not want to be citing people for not paying. we want people to pay the way they're supposed to. based on the existing changes and the existing increase visibility and adding on 10 more fare inspectors, we think we will have a better fare compliance moving forward. some of the transit fare increase in the adopted budget reflects that. supervisor chu: you are anticipating potentially higher citati

there are ground rules that sue plant even that. that -- supplant even that. put your compelling statement in the form of succinct question. i will now give an example of how to do that. mr. secretary, you described a process of transition, the ocean liner metaphor you used. obviously the term that you've embarked on is incomplete. so i'd ask you to both look ahead and cast your mind back to both past job and your past experience in the 1990's. do you foresee a transition that's necessary within the defense industry that would parallel what you've described and what do you think that would look like? >> i do, and it's a very important question. my colleagues in the defense industry are thinking along exactly the same lines and almost without exception are steering their companies in that position so they will continue to serve our needs in the future in a different way they have in the last 10 years. i say a few things about -- i said already that the defense industry is second only to our people, our defense industry is what makes us a great military power. t

that. i do not think that is being allowed right now. that seems a little bit unfair. i would agree that the esthetics are not great. it seems as though the department of public works is going to do what they can about that. i am sincerely confused as to why so many people who have backgrounds in sciences, pier and have thus think that perhaps week -- come up here and have us think they perhaps we do not know what their needs to be -- i cannot go out independently to determine that. i have to hope that fcc and dpw -- i have to think that they are giving misinformation. having said all of that, i think you know where i am leading. i intend to uphold. >> i am troubled by the aesthetics and the fact that for some reason, we do not have underground in this neighborhood. we heap on more ugly utility or antennas. this street already has a lot of wires. i think we can do better on the antenna that is on top of a poll. -- pole. i would lean towards denying the permit. >> i guess i did not see any b

and then just the simple idea that i have teenagers in my city that feel like that they're worth, thatdenied them in this nation that views them as unequal, and inferior. and that to me is so counter as to what we stand as as a nation. they are important and they have your place. but when it comes to the government of the united states, to discriminate in this manner should be unacceptable to everyone. >> that idea of a single class of citizenship being a universal goal. >> and the irony of this is based just on who you love, based on love. and that to me is unacceptable. >> love you, man. good to see you. >> you too. >> all right, mayor cory booker of newark, new jersey. and another old pal of mine is coming up. i'm really going to miss you. my new place isn't that far away. it's 15 miles away ! with this droid razr by motorola on verizon 4g lte, we can video chat on skype. you're gonna get lost ! this has gps. well, that makes me feel better. me too. i'll go get two from the back. the droid razr by motorola now only $99.99. hurry in, offer ends may 13th. verizon. an accident doesn't

and when we saw that after a lot of discussions that that wasn't meeting that threshold, we said, listen, our advisers will recommend a veto if that comes forward. >> host: now, the bill did undergo some amendments before it ultimately passed. have those amendments addressed those concerns sufficiently, or would you still recommend a veto? >> yes, they have not. and that's the challenge we have. some people say, well, gee, they've made progress, that, you know, we're looking for too high of a threshold, and that's not good enough. and when it comes to privacy for american citizens, corporate liability and the ability to share information, when we look at protecting core critical infrastructure, good enough just isn't enough. we as an administration have to have a higher threshold than that which is why we continue to say if you don't take care of the things similar to what we've put in the proposal for the senate side, that we'll recommend a veto. >> host: you mentioned the fact that actually, and it's regulations that would address core critical infrastructure. the house has expressed a

that's something that's extremely important and that's forgotten about that the spirit of st. louis was involved in. the other thing, the other tour that's very important was his goodwill tour to latin america which took place in december 1927 at the invitation of dwight morrow, the u.s. ambassador to mexico, and who would later become his father-in-law, lindbergh's father-in-law. but in this light which lasted until january, february 1928, he flew to, from mexico -- from washington to mexico city to central america through the caribbean ending up in havana and then back to st. louis. and this was, as i said, at dwight morrow's request to try to develop a sense of goodwill toward latin america which had been rather anti-american at the time as a result of the situation in mexico and nicaragua. the importantthing about this flight -- the important thing about this flight, though, is that it makes lindbergh known to one, the head of pan american airwaves. and lindbergh eventually becomes affiliated as a technical consultant to pan be american and lays out their routes, a much mo

that failure, that will fill failure is official misconduct, the finding of that. official misconduct is to find that in the charter as a certain level of behavior, and it also says that a finding of official misconduct anywhere else is an official misconduct under the section that gives you jurisdiction over official misconduct. there are 15 other places in the charter or official misconduct can be found. this is one of them, okay? that is a whole subset that is governed by a special set of rules, which you are going to deal with very soon. the second part of 67.34 deals with willful violations. that is different. it is focused on a violation of the ordinance, and that is a finding that can only be made by you under 67.34. ok? and that makes sense, because that is what these proposed regulations deal with. then there is the non-willful cases, and those are the ones under 67.37c come to you because of failure to comply with an order is a task force of the ordinance. and when it is such a simple violation, it goes to the ethics commission. and that violation has occ

as soon as we found that we recognize that that was exactly the same region of the genome that when lost leads to this other condition called william syndrome. the dichbs between the two in terms of the social reciprocity, the interest, there is just extraordinarily interesting. remember what we are looking at is one spot, 26 genes out of 21,000 in the genome where if you have too much of them, are you at risk for ought im, if you have too little. >> nice to meet you, boss. >> nice to meet you. >> hi. >> hello, how are you. >> i haven't seen you. >> thank you. >> wow. >> what is your favorite color and what's your favorite tv show. >> kids o love to ask questions. but not as much as these kids. >> my favorite color is blue. >> i have met barney the dinosaur. >> yay. >> where do you live? >> i live in new york city. >> do you have any -- >> i do. >> i have two daughters and a son. >> wow. >> and kids love to make friends but not like these kids. >> what nationality are you. >> i'm italian. >> how are you, buddy? >> so 39 seconds of, you can see this intense interest in social interaction.

so that. but language is that when we say. no i don't know me because i do sounds like it comes from a statute you know what brought me to the point where i would sign something like this was being tied up with my hands would lie behind my back to my legs with a hood placed over my head being punched and kicked and listening to the sound of a woman screaming next door i'm told is led to believe is my wife my children's pictures being waved in front of me and being asked by these interrogators when do you think you're going to see them again what do you think happened to them the night that we took you from the. way do you think they're all right now when all of these influences which clearly suggests to me that the only way out is to either give up and. sign whatever it is that they want me to do or to to to resist and to hell with what happens to my family so that's was a stark choice that i was presented with and in the light of that of course you know so we got out. joined cage prisoners and fought for the people that you k

the big issue was was that. good afternoon and welcome to capital account i'm laurin the star here in washington d.c. these are your headlines for may second two thousand and twelve nicolas sarkozy and challenger francois alone face off today in the live french election t.v. debate and what's reportedly seen as the climax of the campaigns with elections in france and greece this weekend the results have the potential to send shock waves across the european debt landscape was speak with former diplomat and investment banker edward harrison about how politics in single countries could impact the global economy meanwhile what an outspoken and famed fund manager you henry tell a panel about europe at the milken institute global conference yesterday about his concerns take a listen but the thing that always fear is for scottish confiscation of my also it's. lawsuits. he also thinks we're a year away from the french nationalizing their entire banking system we will discuss and speaking of confiscation foreign financia

there are ground rules that sue plant even that. that -- supplant even that. put your compelling statement in the form of succinct question. i will now give an example of how to do that. mr. secretary, you described a process of transition, the ocean liner metaphor you used. obviously the term that you've embarked on is incomplete. so i'd ask you to both look ahead and cast your mind back to both past job and your past experience in the 1990's. do you foresee a transition that's necessary within the defense industry that would parallel what you've described and what do you think that would look like? >> i do, and it's a very important question. my colleagues in the defense industry are thinking along exactly the same lines and almost without exception are steering their companies in that position so they will continue to serve our needs in the future in a different way they have in the last 10 years. i say a few things about -- i said already that the defense industry is second only to our people, our defense industry is what makes us a great military power. t

there's very few countries that can say that. with all the faults that our system has, it's worked that well. i think the question is, you know, you know, is this going to make it better? is it going to make things more of the same? i mean luger's letter which i only just saw before coming over here was quite interesting. this is the senator, five term senator from indiana, which is sort of a land of steady habits as far as i'm concerned and the idea that he would lose a primary, four or five years ago this would have been would have been unthinkable and yet it happened and it happened because he lost to it an uncompromising opponent, an uncompromising people are easy to admire because they don't compromise, but when you get to washington if you don't compromise you have stasis. we have proof of that. so we're sort of in a catch 22 and what in heaven's name will get us out of that and what role does technology have in getting us out of that. i don't know. >> i think tucker's comments were right on. aspiration ally i hope it serve

it is to make sure that there is an even and balanced approach that make sure that historic preservation doesn't get singled out. that is why i am supporting this amendment. if we're going to go down the road of taking into account regional housing needs, we need to do that across the board. supervisor wiener: i speak in opposition to the amendment. this is another one of those amendments that has been gone through a significant amount of process. it makes a lot of sense. we have a housing crisis in san francisco. we have a housing crisis in the bay area. we have very aggressive goals in terms of creating smartly planned housing. regional goals, local goals, and it is absolutely appropriate to say that when we are considering the creation of the district, and districts, and a lot of different forms, that we have a planning commission consider how these various goals interplay with each other. one goal is not prominent over the other. it does not mean the regional housing goals trump the creation of historic districts. we have to evaluate it in context. this is good government. we have th

i appreciate that we all want that. the process has been that we recognized as you did that our procedures or not a good fit for sunshine issues and we all recognize that we needed to make changes several years ago. we developed a proposal, you reviewed it and make your changes. what came before is in november is that was meant to help the commissioners. the staff brought something forward, based on their experience, was an effort to incorporate our concerns and yours and we said, let's talk with you and see what we can do going forward. so, i appreciate looking at where we can go together and how we can get there as efficiently as possible, but i would like to put aside this sense that the staff is putting this in the affirmative to. the staff is helping us and by extension, all of us, in this place where we have rules that we think makes sense, and procedures that we don't keep wasting people's time or starting from scratch in a way that is not efficient. i appreciate the chair giving it this much thought. perhaps, yo

that's probably the best that we do. in the last several years, major progress has also been made in decreasing the spread of the virus from an h.i.v.-positive mother to her child. alexandra levine: the transmission rate for h.i.v. in the united states from mother to infant is about 25 to 30%. we can lower it to 8% risk by use of anti-h.i.v. medicines given to the mother during pregnancy, given to the mother by vein during the entire time of the delivery, and then given to the infant for the first week of life or the first month of life. progress against the disease in many other parts of the world, is not as promising. it's decimating populations in parts of central africa, in parts of southeast asia, in parts of the indian subcontinent, and it's affecting whole generations of individuals. we know, for example, that there are probably about 25 to 30 million people in the world infected with h.i.v. this year, and that that number will continue to increase quite rapidly in the next few years, especially in those parts of

the problem with that is that it work.clinton obviously had his lapses and failings in dealing with congress, but ultimately, it showed that if you go out and see if you have it up a little bit, you can soften them up and you have more leverage and negotiations. i think that is where it came from. i agree with you. i think it was wrongheaded. to me, the question is, are they finally over that hangup? i think the episode showed that if you do go to soften these guys up, you will get a lot more of what you want. but some of these hangups are so deeply seated and rooted me wonder if they won't just reversed the forum after the election. >> thank you. i'm curious to get your opinion on what where you think president obama rejected the simpson-bowles commission? for the recommendation, because that would seem to fit your narrative of him trying to achieve a grand bargain with bipartisan support, and it has kind of been speculated that when he would have embraced, you know, it would've killed any chance of republican support, or

my belief is that that happens and that's part of the ebb and flow of doing business. but we can deal with the consequences of bad decisions. and is that what we're attempting to do here, mr. gibson, deal with the consequences of bad decisions by these mega businesses? >> yes. and one of the enhanced prudential standards that nonbank companies that are designated by the council will be subject to is enhanced capital requirements that will make sure that a buffer exists to cover unexpected losses of the type you're describing. >> and for he hedification procs foes those who would like, go back to the stock market crash. read about how the resistance that took place when we were trying to put fdic in place, and fdic has proven to be very beneficial when we are looking for an orderly means by which we can liquidate banks. true, mr. gibson? >> yes. >> are we trying to do the same thing now with nonbank institutions? >> that is the intention of the title 2 early liquidation authority, to extend what the fkic has for banks to nonbanks. >> and i would close with this. we can

we know that that is a commodity that can change. one of the things i like to point out when people talk about competition to the other forms of energy, they are all important. we need all forms of energy in our portfolio for producing energy. let me make one thing clear. wind is not a commodity. the price of wind 10 years from now will not cost any more than it does today. unlike natural gas, today it is inexpensive, but what will it be tomorrow? clean energy has to be part of our solution long-term. >> the question is, how much longer? one thing we can do is scale the industry of this year -- or the last four years, and we can't pull the rug out. that's what we're getting ready to do. i think there is a time horizon. it after that, it is good. if you look at the trajectory we have scaled up in the costs that we have brought down to the supply-chain and the efficiency of the germans, i think we are striking distance. it is hard to predict. we have this, and we kill all this momentum if we stop this. >> i have a question for kerry. k

i'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that they were down two bodies or that they don't have aparticularly ambitious agenda right now. but it's certainly something that, you know, everybody wants to see five commissioners over at the agency. they like to have more people there in the room, they like top more people to bounce ideas off of, and when you're dealing with mergers, you like to have different people bringing in different perspectives when you're talking about conditions and things like that. so it's something that the industry definitely wanted to have these two get through the process, and at the confirmation hearing there weren't a lot of real objections -- >> host: they've been very well supported. >> guest: they were. >> guest: there has not been a lot of activity at the, fcc, probably the biggest item will be the auction. but this is also an election year, and even though there's a full commission now, you may not necessarily see a jump-start at the agency when pa, and i rosenworcel join. and going forward and also at the end of the election, who know bees whethe

that is what that speech is about.hen you hear the chair of the republican party talk about that he does not think this will be a defining issue, needed to any of the polls or the electorate. they talk about it is at the bottom of 20 issues they would care about an election. it really will be more about an economy, jobs, that type of thing. those people who are still hanging on to the social issues and thinking there will be defining moments in the election, i think there are saying that continue to fade. host: again, we're talking with chuck wolfe. give us a call. the number to call for our democrat line is 202-737-0001. the number to call for our republican line is 202-737-0002. the number to call for our independent line is 202-628- 0205. when you are picking your candidate, how you choose which ones you are going to back? guest: the victory fund works through a full endorsement. they have to apply. the have to be a viable candidate. choosing the right race at the right time and be the right candidate. -of experienc

that would be a good way to continue that process. i yield to my friend. mr. cantor: i thank the gentleman. it has been a certainly improved sense of cooperation and i appreciate that on the gentleman's part in trying to deliver results and trying to make sure we get america back to work. i would say to the gentleman, as he rightly noted, that this bill has traditionally been re-authorized and what the approach we took tried to focus on was to do what it is that the gentleman and i have been trying to do the last couple of weeks, and that is to separate out things that divide us, and try and unite us around the central focus of a particular piece of legislation. it is a program that calls for the commitment of taxpayer dollars to fund the appropriate services for abused women. this is a bill that is much-needed and it is one that i think deserves a bipartisan support and we tried to stay away from issues that divide us, we tried to listen to the g.a.o. in terms of its recommendations under this program, to make sure that taxpayer doll

that's the reason. we need to accede to this convention. >> thank you. >> let me just say, since there are a few seconds left, senator lugar, that neither president truman's proclamation or any act of congress has ever delineated the outer edge of the continental shelf of the united states. other countries can prohibit the united states from coming in to an ecs. we can't, because we're not party to the treaty. the only way to protect that outside of this is to have -- t accede to the treaty. and finally, no company is going to put millions of dollars into the effort to go out and do the mining or do the drilling if they don't have the legal certainty protection of the treaty. so, there are further reasons in answer to mr. fuller. we'll have mr. fuller in here and others who oppose it have a chance to explore this. senator menendez. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for beginning this series of hearings, which i think is incredibly important. couple of years ago, i chaired the beginning of one of the

something we've already signed and that was a tactic that i do believe that it was overdone and frankly the other thing it talks about here and you know i have a hard time not laughing every time i read this after i committed to strengthening government accountability and transparency and oversight are you kidding me i mean what in the heck do you think you might as well made agreements with penguins in antarctica they would have been more able to live up to this and how many cars that's how insane this is all right i want to get to a few of your the other details we got you and i spoke about this nitrate agreement which does leave a lot of loopholes for u.s. troops and you were you yourself were skeptical what is there to be able to follow these new rules and really going back anyway but i want to play a clip of something that the president said last night regarding bases in afghanistan. we will not build permanent bases in this country nor will we be patrolling in cities in mountains that will be the job of the afghan people. that's not exactly what we've been hearing and so i don't k

that is a demanding that. but in the planning report that is something you do not consider. the only thing you consider moderate income housing is a housing that is subsidized and regulated. and that is not what the state does. the states that it is not luxury single-family homes, basically it is a luxury. we beat ourselves up in san francisco by saying that the only thing that counts as moderate income housing is subsidized, you know, rent restricted housing. when actually, the modern income report said that rentals are moderate income housing and people of moderate income are able to afford market rate rentals. and we are building a ton of market rate rentals. i would speculate that 80% of the housing are going to be market rate rentals. for some reason, we do not. we only produce 05% of the modern income units. those are the units that are subsidized. i think we should be looking at all of the zero multifamily housing -- the multifamily housing. if they are going to be rentals, which most of the mark, thoug

behind, that i think that what i divine is that clear understanding by all of the parties that we got too close to the papers and that applies particularly to the two main parties. and it is not healthy for anybody, and least of all not for the press, so with luck, there will be that. continuing momentum for change and some of us can do the best to ensure that it takes place. >> i'm pleased to have asked you the question, because listening to mr. campbell the other day, i don't say it was very depressing, but it certainly creates a concern. >> i mean, i -- look, i'm not in any doubts, sir, that there is a concerted effort by some of the newspapers to argue against any form of more coherent regulation than you have today, and i think that mr. dayco has said he has a perfectly honorable view, but i don't share, about what he thinks will happen if there is a marked regulation. i hope and believe that even he recognizes that the landscape has changed completely even in what the public will tolerate. >> he certainly said that last september when he at the ended the seminar. >> yes. >> on o

that. there are some aspects of the whole operation that we don't know all the details, but to somehow allege that under any country's law, this doctor violated any law is of course just beyond ludicrous. it's outrageous. so for him to, if indeed the two are connected than that in itself is wrong. why convict an innocent man in response to your dissatisfaction if you didn't get an apology from the united states of america. what's that all about? this is a human being. this is a human being that happen by accident to go to this house and discover that osama bin laden lived there so now we are going to sentence him to 33 years in prison because the united states of america didn't apologize for an entirely separate incident? i am sorry, that is not the kind of logic that makes any sense or is any kind of decency. >> i would like to see all of the factors behind this airstrike. i don't know enough to reach a final conclusion. the united states regrets the needless lending or death of anyone and

that up.men in the senate is going to make a difference. is there any dynamic like that in the house at all? >> there are a few republican women in the house. i've worked closely with them over the years who do believe in birth control. many of the newer members, the newer republican female members in the house, they adhere to the tea party position. they believe a lot of the same extreme views that the rest of the tea party members in the house believe. that's why you saw, for example, 22 of the 24 of them voting for a very restrictive reauthorization of the violence against women act that would have taken us backwards. there are some in fact house but not enough. >> thank you very much for joining us tonight. nice to have you here. >> it's great to be with you. thank you. >>> there was some history made this week that you might not have heard about because it made no headlines. it was history but it didn't make news. that important story is our final story tonight. that's ahead.

that is one thing that skewed the results. when i get to processing that, i look at it in both ways. the assessor reporters race is usually done an even number years, but there was a special election to fill a vacancy of an appointed incumbent. that was done in an eye on your election, so those numbers are also skewed a little bit. -- that was actually done in an odd year election, so those numbers are also skewed a little bit. you kind of gett column what is going on at the city wide level. one thing i want to note, the next row over, if you compare open seats to open seats, there is nothing to compare, because there is only been one of open seat election, and that was the mayor's choice election, under the rank choice voting system. there was no way to really do with their comparison. so you cannot compare those, but i did compare rank choice voting, incumbent verses incumbent. rank choice voting is a better differential. those who are shutting out to vote and get their vote counted have a higher percentage of that amount. s

that's an ideal that we can fight for, that's an ideal that we can stand for. and we can't always fight for that's deal in every country in the world. we have to look for that unique confluence, we have to look for the unique confluence of national interests and our ideals. and where we see tahat confluence, we should act. ideally we act with others and we use all of the power that we have, our moral, our economic, our political and if necessary our military as situation, but we always consider the fact that we act alone.situation, but we always consider the fact that we act alone. that's the menu of options that i believe exist with the united states. where do we see that confluence? well, i could turn directly to sear yar syria, but i know it's not front and center in the minds of everybody, but it is in mine sind hundreds of people have been killed since the great cease fire imposed. why did we care about syria? let me use to pivot for a moment and say we care about syria because we care about iran. and one of the problems that we face in iran is a governmen

that had evidence that was clearly convincing that that person was innocent, what would you do? that was a simple question to me. that was not a tricky question. it was a straight up question dealing with innocence and the prosecutor doing something that was considered murder or attempted murder. you could answer that. you faded around that question, and to me, that is enough to make me think you should consider not dealing with the death penalty and joining in the fight to abolish the death penalty. we went to illinois, and i was with another group. we would go from state to state that have the death penalty and go to legislators and everyone asking them to abolish the death penalty. in the last two years, we have been successful. it appears like we are going to have to put california on our list. but that is all i wanted to say. that is something that once you take a life, you cannot bring it back. accountability needs to be on your part, too, on the district attorney's part, so if he knew a man was innocent and still prosecuted him, that a straight up murder -- that is straig

that's not that surprising. and not that surprising, of course, that the i,tu is doing that. concern, of course, and i'll drill a little bit deeper on some of the proposals than the opening speakers, it is a concern that some of those proposals will, in fact, constrain economic growth. a couple examples, legacy telecom style regulations are imposed on the internet, then that will create disincentive, the investment that's needed to grow the internet. if there are barrier at the border, then the noble connectivity and information exchange simply won't happen. and if there's government control over america design and management, many of the tools just won't be there. and in the proposals that are now on the table, there are elements of those three things put out there. so it may not be about icann's functions, but it's about many of the functions of the internet per se. so my engineer colleagues would say, but those won't work over the long term. they won't accomplish the stated purpose. but for that to play out in the meantime it'll deprive economies of the benefits of things

that is different. that has to do with, i believe mr. pilpel wanted the task force to consider outreach to the city department to tell us, to give us information. some of the questions i had was that all of the departments to not have the information that we would use anywhere. what we need is a city departments that have been for mitch -- information about neighborhoods, and data, and the task at hand. not all departments have any information that is valuable to this task force. i would say, my suggestion would be to city departments maintain specific data related to recognizing communities of interest or applicable data to the task at hand. or something like that. >> that part of it -- member mondejar: i would say they have this available to the task force. the challenge was that we did not know where to find the list of neighborhood groups. there is a list. we were sent about 500. there was a big spreadsheet sent to west. -- to us. since they have oversight of what we do, we would suggest they maintain neighborhoods or at least point

the president that went against joe biden that went against everyone else with that's why i've sort of what i did as they called it only this of swift boat like situation where in two thousand and four the democrats put up kerry's a military vietnam record sort of heroic thing and then it sort of started rather once you had a few voices start saying there's this alternative narrative out there you know the question is that going to stick and i don't know i mean if more more things they can save are talking about come out i mean you could see them having to having to sort of defend their initial statements some of the initial statements were wrong about it's so you can see them circling with these some of these threads. ari i want to move on really quickly to in terms of just asking overall so it's going to be one year since osama bin laden has been killed what's changed is the world a better place a safer place a more dangerous place on one hand you have officials. claiming that at this point the core of al qaeda those people that actually were involved in attacking us on nine eleve

>> i do not have that. excuse me. i was just informed by ports that that that was a one to one. president chiu: ok, colleagues, any more questions or planning staff? at this time, i know that our stenographer's thinkers are about to fall off, so we will recess or probably about 10 minutes and come back to hearing from the project sponsor.
