you're asking sara to choose between her family and you. all i'm asking her to do is see my side.she had to have seen how her mother and father treated me. did they come right out and say they do not approve of you ? not in so many words but they hinted pretty strongly. - and you think it's because you're chinese ? - what else could it be ? it could be for any number of reasons. maybe it's because you are a goofball or your hair is too long or maybe they think you're an ill-mannered adolescent. you think i'm a goofball ? i do. how do your parents feel about it ? they'd be a lot happier if sara were chinese. - sounds like you're getting it from both sides. - i remember when i asked... jihan's parents for permission for us to marry, and they gave us all sorts of reasons to wait. what they were really trying to say was... they didn't want me to steal their daughter away from them. -but i don't want to steal sara. -then why don't you tell her parents that ? - you make it sound so simple. - it is ! just go over and knock on their door. - no, wait ! i have a better idea ! - uh-oh. you g

yeah, you can do market research, can ask them for surveys, can ask them what they think. at the end of the day, it is better to see than do something. that's the whole thing behind mvp. i might tell you i want something, might tell you i'll use your product. force me to try to use it and see if i actually do. >> you launch your minimum viable product, how do you get enough feedback so you know how to move from there? >> there is nothing special about that. you need to enlist early adopters. those are the people really motivated to use your product, use it, give it to them, start using it, follow up with them. hey, how often do you use it. one thing about internet kind of products, you can instrument the products, can watch how often they use it. that's a good sign. >> the key to all of this then is having an open mind because you have, again, this idea of a product, and once you get feedback, the end result that you should be getting may be entirely different. >> that's so true. we tell entrepreneurs, get locked in on the product, not the solution. because the solution sh

reid: i ask for the yeas and nays on my motion. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the yeas and nays are ordered. mr. reid: i have an amendment that i have asked the chair to order reported. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: the senator from nevada, mr. reid, proposes an amendment numbered 2553 to the instructions of amendment numbered 2552. mr. reid: i now move to refer the house message with respect to h.r. 3304 with instructions. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motions. the clerk: the senator from nevada, mr. reid, moves to refer the house message on h.r. 33004 to the -- 3304 to the committee on armed services with instruction toss report back with the following amendment numbered 2554. mr. reid: i ask for the yeas and nays on that matter. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the yeas and nays are ordered. mr. reid: i have an amendment to the instructions. the presiding officer: the clerk will report

i asked the chairman whether he would fund it. he did indicate that he does support legislating through appropriations bills. he seemed to be saying that he would fund the law. that is a big no-no for a lot of his members. it remains to be seen whether the 169 members who voted for this will still vote for a bill that funds obamacare. there's a very fine line to cross against the finish line. >> 169 republicans voted for this. what are the odds all 169 turn around and vote for the appropriations bills? >> you vote for the topline number. then you had to vote for the stuff under there. if you sit there and have an october shut down, you fund it, you own it on the health care law. marco rubio was out there saying it. ted cruz was fighting implementation. this has been a very high- profile argument friends and people who are very likely to want to represent the republican party in 2016. january 15 comes and goes there has to be a vote in the republican house the somewhat repudiates that. that is going to be a big vote for a lot of me

of always wanted to ask. microphone gives you the license to talk about things you don't always get to talk about and ask questions you don't always get to ask. people, it is kind of a sacred experience. a tributeody, it is to the facilitators 50,000 interviews, it is a positive experience. i think if storycorps has changed me in the last 10 years, i think it is many much more hopeful. the facilitators always say when they come off the road, if you ask them what they've learned, one is they will tell you if you think you can judge someone by how they look or dressed, if you think you can judge their interior life, you're always going to be wrong. the other thing they say is people basically are good. i think there's truth to that. you would not know it from watching 24-hour news and reading the tabloids, but there's something to it. >> let's go to this couple. >> this is a very recent story. is a recentman who immigrant. she is a housekeeper in charlotte, north carolina. she cooks dinner every other saturday

you can ask anything you want to ask at&t any point. we'll not further a recommendation to you that has a cloud over it. i believe that the generation of this particular acquire was around the fact that the da's vegsdz are still open and sometimes, it takes years and it's not fair to the officer because the investigation itself is complete and in the hands of the da to merely issue the declaration. i'm going is a they're a slam dunk but the vegetates we do is good. yet still for this commission if you'd like to separate something out as expressed in the order ask for further investigation it isn't broken we don't need to fix it. if someone want to ask for a disclosure but please we're laboring over the most honorable thought-out practice and policy in one of the most historic police departments in the country and we're making it sound like we do is on a wing and prayer it's not fair >> may i respond. thank you cohesive. i know this is a subject of a great grateful passion it's a beautiful beautiful component of the department. i certain

i asked a couple of questions. when you look at the constitution empower the president, does the president have the power to transform america? of course not. why would you want to fundamentally transform? you don't like america very much, do you? you i capitalism, private property rights. he don't like our constitutional system very much. when you are the fundamental transformation, change is hard, we need our time for change. we need to understand this is a direct attack on our constitutional system. that's what he's talking about. that's what he means.

i ask for that to be clarified. in addition we are worked on all of the funding recommendations that we put together with the strategic plan scenario were fed into the mayor's transportation task force process so they're in the recommended categories there, so we're happy to move that forward. of the recommendations that the legislative analyst made i think we're working on almost all of those and we're happy to come back periodically as it makes sense to update whether to this committee or the transportation authority whatever you think is appropriate on the update and the progress. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> so those are the official speakers and chair farrell could we open public comment? >> so we're opening public comment. the time is two minutes per person. i am going to call names and read them off. it doesn't have to be this order but if your name is called please come forward. burt hill from the bicycle advisory committee, sue vaughn, patrick trawber, jenny lee, leah sharm from the bicycle coal

let me ask a question. have you made this statement i want to ask mr. lazarus the following question. the judge in the district of columbia circuit recently in the decision by judge kavanaugh wrote the following. the executives also tutorial discussion illustrated the key point of the separation of powers. one of the greatest unilateral powers the president possesses under the constitution at least in the domestic sphere of the power to protect individual liberty by enforcing the private behavior for precisely the power to seek charges against violators of the federal law would pardon the federal law. this would seem to support the broad discretion in the executive branch who said enforcement is therefore nonenforcement priorities of judge, immigration and other law. is it not related to the alleged violation of the constitution by the president sitting immigration enforcement priorities outlined earlier to. >> thank you congressman. the judge who was one of the most respected and conservative judges on the federal bench, but he said here is absolutely

i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question for. so there i marinated this is boom bust and here are the stories we're tracking for you today. first up a deal has been reached it only took over four years in a government shutdown but now a bipartisan budget deal has been struck we'll tell you what's in it coming right up and wondering where to go for dinner tonight perhaps the co-founders of miami based tech start up those stairs seven can provide a friendly recommendation i'll be speaking with them in just a bit and finally what qualities make a good business leader perhaps knowing when to shut up well rachel for this i will do the opposite of that in today's big deal it's all coming up and it starts right now. first up gresham negotiators have reached a long awaited budget deal now in a rare act of bipartisanship democratic senator patty murray and republican budget committee chairman rahm excuse me paul ryan struck a deal on tuesday night now the

brazilian senators have already asked for snowden's help during hearings about the n.s.a. is targeting of brazil and snowden is now asking for help in return right now the former government contractor is living in russia on a temporary one year visa of course onan still faces charges in the u.s. here's how white house spokesman jay carney responded to questions about granting snowden whistleblower status at a press briefing this morning it is remains our view that mr snowden is accused of leaking classified information and that he faces felony charges here in the united states and he should be returned to the u.s. as soon as possible. where he will be accorded full due process and protections to learn a little bit more about this i spoke earlier with kevin got stolen a blogger at firedoglake about why snowden is focusing on brazil right now. well he hasn't formally asked to be granted asylum what he put into his letter was this statement that in order for him to help brazil investigate potential crimes against their country committed by the u.s. when doing surveillance aga

>> to me are -- >> i'm asking mr. cannon. >> i think it was to meet him and get asking if there's no remedy, what did the people do. to what particular sort of abuses are you -- >> anyone on the list of the enumerated powers, for example, any with the question of war because that's the starkest of all. >> there is a procedure in the constitution that allows peoplee people to amend the constitution without going through congress. that is another method where the people can try to restrain executive spent you suggest then if that should happen why would an executive with such disrespect for the constitution today on an amended constitution from the constitutional convention? >> that is an excellent question. >> i would like to turn to mr. turley. he's had a chance to reflect upon the earlier statement of the situation that we are in, and where this goes. we need to look into the future and ask unanimous consent for the additional minute to ask each of the witnesses to tell us what does america look like in the next 25 y

i ask you to reappoint all 6. if i may the other xhirsdz are well combfltd i can over the years there's a lot of people that kept replying so if aura first timer please coming come back >> thank you. >> sorry to cut you but i'm trying to be fair and a public comment. this is for public comment oh, come on up >> excuse me. hi deputy city attorney john. it's not illegal prohibited but the fact of this commission once a applicant speaks you ask them not to come up again on public comment but anyone has the right to participate in public comment. >> so excuse me. - and i would have said more easily i was told i had 2 minutes i would have brought guest speakers but the recommendations i speak 2 to 3 minutes i typically don't bring guest speakers if that i can have a few more minutes. >> i'm you had the opportunity. >> typically you got a couple of minutes we don't get a lot of guest speakers. >> we'll let pub go by and give you a chance to respond. >> any other public comments. i'm overview related brandon on behalf of

but he hasn't formally asked to be granted asylum what he put into his letter was this statement that in order for him to help brazil investigate potential crimes against their country committed by the u.s. when doing surveillance against brazil he would have to be given asylum so that he can really participate in this inquiry his terms for a temporary asylum in russia he wants to respect what russia has given him basically doesn't want to look like he's not grateful for what russia has been able to do for him so that's why that was that way and so there is this concern and this interest in going to brazil because yes tried to go to germany and that hasn't worked out that was rejected by uncle of merkel and there are these other countries like every door that was initially a possibility and that didn't work out. as we know the journalist who broke a story glenn greenwald is actually based in brazil along with his partner david miranda do you think that could carry any weight in convincing brazil that they should open their doors to snowden or are they doing anything are they speaking

and so, what we are asking is that this permit not issue, that there be an opportunity for us to meet as in the tenant group because there are other tenants in the building that have absolutely no idea that they are going to be asked to move out for at least, and they are claiming a 2 and a half month period, but, the work that is being presented is rather extensive and so, i don't think that that is really an honest assessment and i think that the reason that they are giving that time frame is that if it is going to be more than 3 months, they first have to seek the per miss from the rent board to display the tenants for more than 3 months but today is the first time that we have heard that all of them have to be out they are saying that they posted notice of the permit, however, that was posted on 1980 golden gate which is on golden gate and it is an empty unit and so the tenants on-line street never saw that, furthermore that permit and the work related to that is limited to the retaining walls in the down stairs and so that the people who live on the second and third had no idea t

can i ask you this question? how far would you feel -- how far do you feel that these -- if it continues to have revelations of ed snowden? >> things have happened in this country which would be inconceivable in europe or in parts of europe and america. they include prior restraint, a senior official, they include the destruction of our debts, and for police to prosecute, there are things that are inconceivable in america. >> i you under pressure? do you feel this pressure? >> this activity has been designed -- >> we must move on. are you telling this committee as a result of failure to oversee security services and necessary expertise, sufficient budget, that is why you were obliged to publish, maybe you would find out about this. >> the only way this information came into public domain was through the press. all these things, look at our structures better. america is, dianne feinstein, the market equivalent in america, the real telephone call happen this, and at that point it is abundantly clear total review of

i ask a couple of questions. when you look at the constitution, does the president have the power to fundamentally transform america? of course not. why would you want to fundamentally transform america? it means you don't like america very much, do you? you don't like capitalism, private property rights. you don't like our constitutional system very much. when you keep hearing this fundamental transformation, change is hard, we need more time for change, you need to understand this is a direct attack on our constitutional system. that is what he is talking about. >> sunday, january 5, best- anding offer -- author radio personality mark levin will take your calls and questions in depth, live for three hours starting at noon eastern. tv's tv in death -- book in-depth. >> we want to know what your favorite books were in 2013. join other readers to discuss notable books published this year. go to book tv.org and click on book club to enter. >> senator tom coburn released his annual report on what he calls wasteful f

the idea of asking for 15 hard copies or pdf copy at all. probably you have no idea how many people don't have computers. i echo sue in this way, do you know what it's like on the outside. easy for the professionals. but we struggle to get information out to people. even at 1170, not a poor building, some people don't have e-mail. and don't have a computer and many neighborhood leaders. there are many things of concern. and i in reading this and saw something to the effect when organized opposition that we had, there is to be a chance for rebuttal at the end. that would have been helpful if that occurred. nothing that was said by the methodist -- i believe that i read that in there, perhaps i am wrong. not in the appendix but the other part. since practically nothing said by the methodist -- the lawyer that says that he represents methodist and charges them. it does no good for natasha, the person that knows that he's lying about everything, and sitting in the back of the room and shaking her head. and for us not to be able to address ceqa.

almost more of a hormone than a vitamin. >> eric would want people to ask, you have to ask for a vitamin d test. it's not part of the standard blood panel. this is kind of scary. is there anyone who shouldn't take vitamin d? >> as a nation, almost a 30 of the country are vitamin d deficie deficient. you get your vitamin d from exposure to the sun. there's been so much sunscreen and great for skin cancer, but now we're not getting enough vitamin d. you neat 10 to 15 minutes of sun and then you get 10,000 units. vitamin d, as marc mentioned, it should be looked upon as a hormone. we don't think of it as a vitamin for bone health. we see a lot of studies that it affects your cognitive, your tired, your autoimmune disease, so you need to know your 25 hydroxy vitamin d. if it's over 50, we like it to be around 50 to 80. when you get your blood test, ask the doctor, what is my level? between 50 to 80 is a good one. you're okay. if it's between 30 to 50, you need to supplement. certainly, if it's below 30, you're in trouble. normally, people go for about 1,000 to 2,000 units. i personally somet

president, here's what i ask. i would ask that we take a few moments in this body, that we come up with $6 billion some other way instead of taking it from the backs of our men and women in uniform. why don't we have an amendment process that would allow us to address this issue? would allow us to fix this now? and to those who are saying we'll fix this later, that is such a washington answer. if you're serving our country right now in afghanistan, what kind of comfort is that to you that we'll fix this down the line after we vote for this agreement? how about fixing this now? i ask my colleagues to fix this now on behalf of our military, the best in the world, those who have sacrificed the most for our country. and if this body is to pass this agreement, i would call on our commander in chief to veto this agreement. bring us to the white house. make the house, make the senate sit together and resolve this issue. as the commander of chief in this country, don't accept the cuts to the military and have our military

they never asked him first. this time asked hill and he gave a truthful answer. >> come on. >> one of them that he unequivocally lied about is the video about benghazi. that was a complete fabrication. they arrested a man, used the power and resoces of the government to railroad a guy. >> if you want to go to benghazi do you think it's just possible that the government couldn't tell us the whole truth because things were happening in benghazi that were -- >> purposely lied to the us. >> though there are things we shouldn't know and you would support us not knowing p it is a cia action. >> the that never justifies affirmatively lying about a video. >> we didn't lie about a video. what did he lie about? >> said this was a spontaneous -- >> he knew better. they did know better. >> how did we get to benghazi? the. >> you have a duty. you don't care about lying. you said he doesn't lie. >> under the conditions he lied about. >> you do agree the president is a liar? >> i agree all presidents occasionally lie. >> moral

bill: on twitter we asked, what would you ask kathleen sebelius? martha: you know what joel said? he said secretary sebelius, how many people have actually paid their first payment for the obamacare insurance? bill: michelle tweets, i would ask her if she still has a job. martha: gary tweets this, has she done any online christmas shopping? that's the multi-billion dollar question that's been coming up since the beginning of this mess. send us those tweets. weep love to get them @marthamaccallum and bill hemmer. bill: and you never disappoint. the nation's spie's spy chief fg calls for lying to congress. james clapper will concerned his agency's top lawyer. why is that? catherine herridge is live on that in d.c. what are we looking into first? >> reporter: we are expecting a vigorous defense of these nsa program with the director of the nsa general keith alexander testifying along with top lawyers for the intelligence community. as well as james cole of the justice department. the nsa has consistently taken the position these programs are saving lives. >> these perhaps are protect

and it's okay to ask.ou use that as the example. >> i felt comfortable asking because i was running a chunk of the company. i'm sure a lot of othersmented it, but they were not in the position to march into the office and interrupt his yoga. he would have looked up and said, who are you and why? actually, he's nice. he would have said the same thing, but they wouldn't have had that self-confidence, but i was senior. my point is that we do need all institutional reforms, but the best way to get it is from women in the audience. go run the companies. plug in pregnancy parking. pay women equally, help women negotiate, train your managers not to tell women they are too aggressive. i think women is a huge part of the answer. >> the final question from the audience. are you gearing up for a political run in 2016 to help shape policy discussions you speak about, and if so, which office? [laughter] >> i'm not running for office in 2016. >> i understand president of the united states is open for -- >> they will --
