mr. robins. member s of the public, let's hear from the member s of the public. >> good afternoon, miss brown. >> hi, thank you commissioners and director ruskin, i'm sally brown, administrative assistant for supervisor breed. supervisor breed is very much aware of the safety and transit impacts on these large corporate busses. the transit impact, these large tour busses through the alamo square neighborhood, it's been a constant struggle for the community. it's not a safe virpb environment for the pedestrians because of the wide turns the busses need to make. also noting the safety of the idle wild students, traffic has to go around the buses in ood lane and what we also have been seen and told idle wild students are actually stepping off the streets into the crosswalks and the traffic does not have a few of the students going into the streets and they can't see the traffic coming on, on-coming traffic. so it's also, one of our biggest complaints in the office, in the district 5 office, is of co

robin. i'm here with mr. easton corbin. right? give it up for him, guys. and the spokesman for ram trucks. to the national future farmers of america foundation. to hopefully bring awareness of the issue of hunger across the country. easton, you're here to tell us more about the project. and how it goes well beyond the $1 million donation. >> first of all, the $1 million is going towards helping less fortunate, deserving ffa students to get the blue jacket here. i brought mine today. >> i love it. >> i'm an old ffa member myself. but anyway, that's kind of a rite of passage for ffa. we're also going across the country. and doing acoustic shows. you know, sharing stories and hopefully bringing a positive message to a great organization. >> for sure. it is a great organization. and you are also turning out "the farmer in all of us," this new book. and the proceeds go to -- >> that's where the proceeds go. to, yeah, less fortunate children out there that -- >> awesome. thank you so much. that iconic blue jacket like your vintage one that you have. >> it ain't that old. it ain't that old. >> ex

mr. smoking crack cocaine, that tends to be a big story. talking about toronto mayor rob ford's scandal. robinttle and natalie johnson join me. robin, you've been running lots of stories on this. were you each remotely surprised that he finally broke down and confessed today? >> yeah, i was completely surprised. i happened to be standing in that press conference. and he just suddenly stopped and turned to the media, which in and of itself is unusual. he doesn't talk to reporters very often. he said, ask me the question you asked he last may. then someone said, do you smoke crack? he said yes, i smoked crack cocaine. he's dug in his heels the last six months. it was a remarkable moment. >> natalie johnson, what has been the reaction? his approval ratings have actually gone up sense this has come out. is that true, and can he sustain that? >> that's right. it was last week when the police chief said he had in his possession this video showing the mayor smoking from a crack pipe. his approval rating climbed about five points after that. we don't have a poll to reflect the thoughts on today's admi

another big winner last night, in the fashion department, our very own robin roberts, looking stunning, as she presented mrh his award. >> she sure did. rachel, thanks very much. >>> let's get weather from sam. look at that chill across the middle of the country. >> even in nashville. nashville is a great town. but it's a super town the night of the cmas. just an amazing, electric place. let's watch the cold front move down to the south. there's interesting stuff going on. five states with frost or freeze warnings. you have 17 states near the freezing mark early in the morning. dallas, you're not in those freeze situations. but i think ft. worth is. it kind of splits across the area there. san angelo, you've got cold temperatures. midland, albuquerque, denver, at 33. here's the straight shot of cold air. the good news for southern sections is, those temperatures jump up in the afternoon. they're kind of taken care of. northern numbers are not. in comes the front in the eastern seaboard. there's early morning rain. some of this will be gone by afternoon. philly, new york, you're out of it earlier. boston, i

robin hood, moving a lot of stocks today, guys. we'll be back here tomorrow for "halftime." >> we look forward to it very much. thanks, scotty. >>> reaction to mr. einhorn's comments from jim and john. jim, i'm going to start with you, if i could. why don't we take the last part of that interview where he mentioned the fact that certain stocks look bubblelike. do you see that as well? although there are other people who see value out there. >> yeah, sure. no, there's a lot of hot money in there and there is some momentum names that have rallied tremendously. but in any market, particularly bull market, there are certain stocks that are in bubbles. to me that's not a huge story. the only real pertinent story is whether or not the market as a whole is in a bubble. and the reason i contend that it's not is because every publication i pick up, we start reading as to whether it's in a bubble. one of the key characteristics of a bubble is the hysteria tends to convince everybody we're in a bubble. until i see my barber, the guy who drives a cab, until he's telling me that he's putting every last penny into the stock market, i refuse to believe it's a

robins has given us in the past few years. >> next speaker, please. . >> john morris, todd geist, todd olive. >> switch over to the overhead. >> there you go. >> good afternoon, mr. morris. >> there's the view that's become so popular. it's funny, that was the view on the opening of full house, the television show. looks like we have a full house here today, a very important issue for us neighbors. i've lived in the alamo square neighborhood association for 25 years and for 12 of those years i've been across from the park. i'm here to speak for my wife, my children and my neighbors. of the 6 houses there, 3 of those houses are homes to elderly folks who can't be here ka but they have been putting up with the drastic change in our neighborhood. in the past 5 years we have been dramatically overrun by tour busses, as you have heard. there are 52 other neighborhoods that have bus restrictions and why not alamo square. there are 4 busses that support those lines, not these invaders. alamo square have been an integral part of our city for 50 years, that's fine, but the busses don't belong on those narrow streets. otherwise there would probably be muni lines on scott

robin neagle tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. on c-span. part of our encore presentation of "q&a". >>> >> mrs. nixon accompanied him. they noticed how mrs. nixon was looking at the package of cigarettes. the cigarettes had pandas on them. and the package, she was admiring that. she said i understand you also admired the pandas at the zoo. she said, yes, aren't they darling. he said, well, we'll make sure that you have pandas to go home with. it was important for her to uphold and support her husband. just her being there with so much goodwill and always at the end of the triples where a news reports would come out -- they would talk about the president this way, but they would always say what a wonderful job pat nixon did. >> first lady, pat nixon, monday night, live on c-span and c-span 3, also on c-span radio and c-span.org. >> earlier this year, the bipartisan policy center created a commission on political reform to work on ways to end partisanship in government. former governors, cabinet secretaries, and members of congress. they had been travelling around the country to share some of their ideas. next, one of the discussions held i
