fact checking, at least, and fact checking has become quite a new form of journalism in this country and elsewhere around the world, i think that begins to help, at least -- well, it puts politicians on notice that they must be careful about what they say. it does not mean that they will change their stripes, at least not immediately. i was at a conference recently where one of the ad makers for these ads that i rate, someone asked him about the influence of fact checkers. he said i think we worry too much about what fact checker say. but a lot of time is spent drafting the ads and making sure they at least have something defensible to answer the inevitable questions that come up. >> you are from cincinnati and went to brown and got a masters at columbia. you have been in journalism for 32 years? >> i think you are right. >> three kids? >> yes. >> how old are they now? >> one is a senior graduating from m.i.t. another is a senior in high school. we are going through the college application process right now. i have a daughter who is an eighth grader. she has graduated from middle sch

by facts. you see the common theme here is there must be facts. what substantial evidence is not is argument, speculations un substantiated opinion or inaccurate or economic impacts which do not contribute to to the environment. i would argue that the appellants have put no substantial evidence in the record nothing there they haven't provided any today to use as an example as a result of the height lift first of all that was addressed in in the 2012 categorical exemption. it is the impact on the house not people so the issue here what has been done to the house the planning department concludes twice there is nothing and particularly with respect to the exemption in front of you today the scope of work is extremely modest no impact will occur. >> i will acknowledge that one page was put in the papers all the bullet points again had nothing to do with the sequa issues they were again trying to capture that again there was a potential impact to the people because of loss of light and privacy. th

the facts in it are cia based. the conclusions, i understand, what vice president cheney was against, but the facts are pretty damning, and at least plant some seeds of doubt, does it not? >> well, look. i think the actual program, the integrity of the program, the report does not actually produce anything that undermines it. most of what is criticized in the report is what happened outside the program. these rogue operators. now, reasonable people can disagree on, you know, what happened in those rogue operations, but the actual integrity of the program, the actual totality of the program, it's indisputable that it pulls al qaeda operatives off the battlefield. >> if it's indisputable, john brennan said it's unknowable. even john brennan who i think supports the program could not come to the conclusion that it's indisputable. >> well, what brennan said was unknowable, he says look, we got information. what's unknowable is if we could have gotten the same information had we not used these techniques. >> right. >> t

and in fact they were getting much better in 1914.i think you saw just the tail end of a letter between georgie and nikki this morning in which there was this odd, one of you asked about this, about his allusion to persia, an unsatisfactory state of affairs. that was putting it mildly. in fact there was a major surge in tensions between britain and russia in 1914. the so-called accord between britain and russia dating back to 1907 which had divided asia, particularly persia or iran, up into spheres of influence had essentially broken by 1914. the russians are basically installing kind of imperial pro-consuls in the north carving up the land, they have troops on the ground, the persians are hearing no end of this. they're complaining to the british. the british are saying you're violating the treaty. it's not quite got to the state of war but things are pretty serious. britain and russia were at loggerheads. in fact i discovered in my own work in the archives there was another side to that story which is that britain was selling to the

and, in fact, the statistics, the facts that arise from that experiment or that experience indicate that savings increases when there is a prize associated with the savings behavior. so it's one of the reasons that this makes sense. prize link savings is an innovation. it's a tool to encourage savings while offering the chance to win a larger prize. we know these work because of the evidence in the states that i mentioned in which credit unions have been offering these prizes associated with savings and that has occurred in nebraska and north carolina and washington. since 2009, over 50,000 account holders have collectively saved more than $94 million and it only is available in the credit union setting and not available in a bank setting because of federal barriers that prevent banks and thrifts from offering these prize linked savings products. with the passage of this legislation, which, again, is a pretty straightforward, commonsense kind of opportunity, this legislation will update federal laws to allow states to expand prize linked savings to other financial institutions beyond cre

virgin birth fact or fiction? >> i can make a parallel between christmas and easter. easter we hear the question how important is it that jesus actually rose physically from the dead. it would be okay to say that jesus somehow rose in a spiritual way in people's minds and hearts and that his physical body is still in the tomb? i would say, no. in the mysteries of his passion and resurrection, we have to understand something about the mystery of the beginning of his life, the mystery of the incarnation of god becoming man. >> no objects are found that are directly linked to jesus the way archaeologists-under covered others but a house from the time of jesus was unearthed just across the street from the church of the enunciation. >> for a long time we've been trying to find any evidence of jewish life here in nazareth. >> could this have been the home of mary and joseph and jesus? >> it is conceivable that mary and jesus and joseph lived here. it's much more likely that he visited here and a little boy named jesus w

in fact, i think that any student who goes to a public or a private institution, in fact, does have a contractual relationship with the institution. and if this institution acts arbitrarily, i think that they are in breach of contract and are also probably in breach of a whole set of state and federal laws. so if you have been treated arbitrarily by that institution, i would suggest that you consult with a lawyer because i think he would, in fact, have recourse. >> host: professor kennedy, because of the nature of your books do you get a lot of people get a lot of people the daily news, contacting you, this happened to me type cases? >> guest: i do. with all of my books, i've gotten lots of e-mails. and, frankly, one of the things that's most gratifying about writing my books is that it does trigger telephone calls. it triggers e-mails. it triggers letters. obviously, i'm in no position to help out everyone, but i would say a couple times a year that or people who get in touch with me, or their lawyers get in touch with me, and i've been able to assist people. and i'm very happy about

but the fact is he's going to be the president for the next two years. he can do a lot of executive action. he's the head of the democratic party for the next two years right into the next presidential election. >> he can throw a lot of sand in the regulatory gear to slow everything down. steve puts it finger right on it, particularly around the epa. that's where all of the manufacturing jobs and energy jobs are. i think he's out to protect his legacy with a 35% or 40% of americans who still support him if. >> and rick, we just had chuck schumer trying to talk down the policy saying that obamacare was a mistake. if he's trying to paint himself in the middle with, you know the next nominee is going to do that to try to distance himself from president obama. >> you'll forgive me if i don't put too much credibility in chuck schumer. he was the person who led the fight in the senate to pass obamaca obamacare. >> i got to ask lizzy a question. things have to be put in their place. what was the top personal tax rate when john kennedy was president? >> listen,

facts don't matter or what do you think? >> i think facts absolutely matter. i think you and i come from a legal profession and you know, especially on a television show like that that has millions of viewers, when you use a brush like that and misstate facts, it can create problems and issues. i mean, the deputy sheriffs that happened that case in san bernardino county were very professional. they were protecting others. protecting themselves. they even called for medical assistance for this individual who lost his life and overdose of pcp. he was not shot. so, to make those statements, it creates problems especially right now with what we are seeing across the country. again, when are we going to start talking the law enforcement officials and men and women that are really putting their lives on the line for us every day? >> you have noticed -- i mean, are the police officers saying anything to you? is morale a little bit down or not? you are the first d.a. what are you hearing the police officers saying? i have had hundreds of comments and emails and texts

check and the fact that does not appear to have been done is very troubling. it's also troubling there's been a lack of transparency in the process. in the last week or so people have raised concerns about the fact that apparently the alleged assay atlantas were not contacted but the "rolling stone" reporter who i reached out to has not specified until now in this statement what exactly was agreed to. again, agreeing you're not going to contact people who are alleged to have commitmented a major crime is a big deal. and it's not common practice. and if you're going to do it, have you to be transparent. "the washington post" has now shown that just a few extra calls could have put holes -- that doesn't mean the woman is making up her story. that doesn't mean she wasn't raped but it does mean "rolling stone" has not done their job. >> to stick with you for a second because some of the other things that weren't done was so check some of the basic facts in the story. there was one piece of the story that was really gripping where it was said that jackie then runs

in fact, we were there when the fbi questioned shane's parents once again.ne montgomery, a 21-year-old here. the fbi could not say much but investigators are telling us that they don't know much right now. shane's picture has been posted on every storefront and, in fact, some cases, drink specials have been replaced with signs like this across philadelphia and all across the city. here's what police are telling us. he was at a bar on thanksgiving eve. the bar was wrapping up for the night. it was about 1:50 thanksgiving morning when he left. now, the bar officials say he bumped into the deejay but was not intoxicated and did not cause any problems. he was walked towards the door along with many other people for the end of the night but they don't know if he went this way down main street or this way down main street. police have been looking for surveillance video, pulling video from several stores but they don't see any images of shane. the fbi is involved. still, nothing on shane. philadelphia police choppers have been searching the local river and the can

are facts and you can't really get around the facts. we hear there were 6 people hired and there should have been 14 and the facts are the facts and i kind of come back and i say, you know, i look at this thing what is the value of this agreement and how many tens of millions of dollars are we looking at and how much in or how much are we that way, all the way there? are we 95, 97 percent, and like, we are almost there, right? and some of these items don't seem like they are big to me, there is a big one in me. and i think that a couple of thoughts and the smaller items and i am not sure why they are happening, my husband is a nurse he has nothing to do with cpmc and, he is a dialysis nurse, and he does not speak chinese, but there are people that have, and they speak it on the staff and because they have the patients that come in and if you don't explain, they go come and they don't it right and come back and they have to go to the hospital and have a negative and will cost more in the out run, because they don't understand what they a

that is the fact. is we, as the united states of america, should not get anywhere near the threshold of torture. we are either on the side of the angels were we are not. guest: i certainly agree with the second point. it's worth stressing we have heard a lot this week from former director brennan and hagan about this program. when they say congress, they mean that the chair and ranking members of the house and senate intelligence committees were briefed. that's four people out of 535. is it true that those four members of a bleak should have done more along the way to try to raise alarms about this? absolutely. is it fair that congress acquiesced to what was going on? the answer would be no. most of the members were in the dark about what was happening and can only learn details from leaked stories in "the washington post" and "the new york times." that is not meaningful oversight. that is the flaw in the system. host: st. petersburg, florida, good morning. look atwhen i constitutional lawyers, i want

she gave it in for july 1st 2013 and in fact she was supposed to have a notification to the neighbors in light of their requirement originally with a permit therefore where we are today is simply to challenge the issue of the seqa negative determination and to address the issue of the building height, the encroachment in the setback with the fire place. encroachment into the back yard building on the lot and the changes to the facade of the building due to the dwelling unit merger. as as as as as we mentioned to you the height of the building has tremendous effect on the light, air, of all the adjoining neighbors the folks on fill bert street preponderance of street perpendicular to us had most of their kitchen light totally destroyed by the lift of of the building and the squaring of the roof for the development of the roof. the encroachment has been addressed in the original agreement. she initially wanted to have a second egress for a new unit that was being created and through the hard work of city planning historical preservation she was given such an, egress through the garage a

and in fact, there is speculation in the french media that in fact, some kind of prisoner release some kind of prisoner exchange, if you like, was involved in securing the freedom. in fact, french media are reporting that a couple of men, held in mali will have been released in exchange for the release of the frenchman, in fact, apparently, these two men were involved in the original abduction back in 2001. they were subsequently arrested, imprisoned in mali, and now according to some reports released as part of the deal to free the frenchman. he is expected back in france probably on wednesday. >> let's go to thailand now. the latest country to ban taxi uber. and that the credit card payment system does not comply with regulations. it is ordered uber to crease operations after meeting official from the company and cab hailing apps. and that comes as indian police question an executive over an alleged rape of a woman in new delhi, which has once again raised questions of the women's safety in the country. >> but as now reports many indians don't think this kind of reaction addresses th

other people glance over the fact of what made michael turn around.e didn't turn around by happenstance. he turned around because he was hit. and witnesses say, why are you shooting? quit shooting and trying -- >> was he turning around to give up or turning around to attack officer wilson? >> he was turning around to attack officer wilson. everybody has a right to their opinions. they don't have a right to their own set of facts. what we know, in my mind the inc. spgle most important evidence is the blood spot about 25 to 30 feet away from his body. we know he went to a farthest point north because hi blood is there. that's irrefutable. he has come back towards officer wilson. that's when he is shot. when he is shot, he's about eight to ten feet in the final shot mr. parks referenced, he's about eight to ten feet from officer wilson. we call that the kill zone. at eight to ten feet, he can reach officer wilson. and officer wilson has indicated to everyone that will listen that he believed that michael brown intended to kill him. >> now, let me -- >> l

but the facts suggest another story. as west point's superintendent from 1960 to 1963, westmoreland, in fact, instituted mandatory counter insurgency training for all cadets. under westmoreland's tenure, the military academy stood up a counter insurgency committee, and that committee found that the interdisciplinary nature of this subject required cadets to study the political, military, economic, psychological and soclogical aspects of unconventional warfare. so, cadets, under westmoreland's ten your as superintendent will study the theoretics of the north vietnamese. cadets explore the histories of revolutionary struggles in the philippines and indochina. upon assumption of command in vietnam in 1964, westmoreland is bringing a host of theoretical study with him that was really being imbued in the officer in west point and filtered throughout the army and its training programs. when he does assume command, he has a broad, broad mission and it necessarily follows a broader interpretation of political military objectives

they get all the facts. >> they get all the facts that the prosecutor presents. >> in this case it was enough to get them to decide we don't think a crime was committed here. you can agree with that or not agree with that. clearly that came to the community as a stunning shock. it was unthinkable the grand jury would not indict and that's how you furious, angry reaction. >> you know, i support the grand jury decision because i've been around the block long enough. even when they were decided against me. i will say the eric garner is different. that's the one case where the whole event is caught on videotape. michael brown, we don't have all the pieces that the grand jury did. the eric garner is a unique case because we actually saw it. >> i think that's precisely the point. people feel very differently when they see it themselves. both these cases go back to trayvon martin. >> unfortunately the media takes sides and doesn't look at the facts. >> and i think it creates this expectation that will never be met. george zimmerman is this terrible guy. if the jury didn't get him, eventually

but the fact of the matter is what michael brown did.t michael brown did in ferguson, missouri, resulted in his death. the police officers were responding to an attack against him and he feared for his life and that's rightly so. what about these statistics for how many police officers die or are injured in the line of duty? over 100 die every single year. >> it's a horrific thing. >> mark, we've got to roll. >> it's enormous. >> it's enormous, thank you.t h sending three representatives to those firnales. >>> coming up new video. new exclusive surveillance video from inside the delwood market. we haven't shown you this before. looters ransacking the place. the owner needs your help. can you identify people in these videos. ? then later tonight -- >> it was a painful reminder that just like with trayvon martin and samir wright, that officers kill our black and brown. >> they stoop to new laws. reaction on this busy news night. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. qu

in fact in 1904 booker t. washington gave the commencement address at the university of nebraska-lincoln. in which he advocated the settlement of all-black towns. by this time he had given up on the notion of all-black states. but he was advocating the settlement of all-black towns. and as a result of washington's trek through the upper south, midwest, and great plains, there were all-black towns that were developed. and partly as a result of booker t. washington's legacy. for example, in nebraska, there were like five all-black towns. there were all-black towns in kansas oklahoma oklahoma still has predominantly all-black towns that came out of that settlement. boldy, oklahoma, which is the site of the national black rodeo every year. montana had two all-black towns. i've taught students from both of those towns over the course of my career. texas had some all-black towns, et cetera. and so washington's legacy was let's have our own. let's have our own thing. yes?

in fact, you can be a woman without being a mother.k we need the other part of that revolution which says men can do half of the in sisyphean fashion, barker keeps rolling his redefinition of manhood up a very unforgiving mountain: barker: it may look like we are going against the grain and that there's a whole machinery making violence and aggression making men out there but it doesn't take a lot to get men to sort of put down that mask and go you know what? i was really frightened when i was enjoined to get into that fight. i really would like deeper relationships with others. for as much as the media makes noise and the glorification of certain forms of masculinities there's also lots of men out there already doing this. in fact, you don't have to make it up, we've got stories. you can find men who everyday are already practicing this. the question is are we looking at that or are we only looking at the images of the harm that men do and glorifying it. in fact there are a lot of men that do do this caregiving and report these close

the fact i -- >> mr. gruber, i'm questioning it in light of your statements and that's why i'm asking. shouldn't we question, or at least have independent analysis of the numbers you delivered before -- actually to massachusetts for that matter, too, but to the federal government based on your statements that, in fact, if people knew the truth, they wouldn't -- that there was a deception in your own thing. and it's all i want. i want to go to the ranking member. but is there any reason that you would not approve the idea that there should be independent validation of the numbers you used in light of the statements that we've seen you made? >> i think that the quality of my numbers should not be reflected by comments i made where i was conjecturing outside of my area of expertise. at the same time my models has always been very transparent. i've posted information about my model and i'm happy to ask questions -- answer questions about the model and how it works. >> thank you. i hope that this committee in

publication is a poll jazzing for not fact checking a story that accuses gang rape by a major united states university, by the way, one of the most respected universities in the country, they didn't fact check. so the time between the rape and rolling stone publishing that piece, they had plenty of time to fact check, they had plenty of time to go kablg the accused rapists there, so they ran with the story and it's been two weeks since the story ran with rolling stone, "the washington post" has fact checked the story and has found a lot of d discrepancy ies with it. almost two years, from the time of the rape until they published the story, they had two years to fact check what "washington post" found in two weeks. >> and the fraternity, kimberly is phi cap -- she said we didn't have a party that night. there are some things i just have to wonder if the reporter didn't have any sort of nagging doubt, even though it does seem in the apology from rolling stone that they're kind of blaming her, the person that they said was their source, but nobody actually knows her name. a question fo

elizabeth warren don't get into facts. and i don't see anything, i hear labels but i don't hear facts. >> there are certainly labels that are misleading. elizabeth warren has come out controversially, saying that the minimum wage should be raised above $20 an hour, and does hillary clinton think is a good idea? >> i haven't heard that number, told an hour from elizabeth warren, but hillary clinton is supporting the current senate version of raising the minimum wage. i don't know what it is, but she's supporting the democratic version. >> elizabeth warren said that it would be her wish to have it higher than $20 an hour. but elizabeth warren, she said that dodd/frank, she would have broken up city bank and other banks into smaller pieces, is there anything on that? >> again, breaking up into pieces, i don't know what she means by that. there are ways to regulate, i believe elizabeth warren. and she doesn't believe that they should be paying the tab. i know that she became senator before being secretary, and supported dodd/f

so let's look at some facts. fact one. wall street spends a lot of time and money influencing congress. foric citizen and senator responsive politics found in the run-up to dodd frank, the financial services sector former employees to carry out their lobbying efforts, including 73 former members of congress. a report by the institute of america's future, by 2010, the six biggest banks and their trade associations -- 243 lobbyist from the federal government, including chiefs of staff and 54 who had worked as staffers for the banking oversight committees in the senate and house. that is a lot of former government employees and congressman pounding on congress to make sure that the big banks get heard. no surprise that the financial -- industry spent more than $1 million a day lobbying congress on financial reform. and a lot of that money went to a -- former elected officials and government employees. fact two. wall street dedicates in norma's amount of time and money to influencing regulatory policies. the sunlight foundatio
