one, the opportunity that we have to do the rebranding. i think we should do that. i am hopeful this is ensuring that the parks across the city are beautiful spaces for communities and families, so i am hopeful at some point we don't need a failing playgrounds task force or anything by any other name frankly because we made the investments to ensure we have great open spaces across the city and lastly in addition to delivering a great report and set of recommendations our process also delivered a beautiful baby. [inaudible] had a baby so thank you very much. >> thank you commissioner. commissioner low. >> well, i want to first also thank commissioner mcdonnell. i find it hard to believe he attended all these task force meetings but thank you very much for putting that time and energy into this. dawn, i think mcdonnell mentioned it. are there opportunities to leverage -- for example taking the tier one playgrounds and leveraging opportunities with other funds, maybe thinking bigger beyond and renovating the mark and for example sergeant mccally park and think out of

do you think this represents a rebrand rebranding? >> it is kind of like dominos where the pizza tastes like the pizza box. i hope they're not a sponsor. >> they're a sponsor of my lunchtime. go ahead. >> this reminds me of the 1988 democratic field where it was eight candidates of relative parity. i think the debates are going to be -- i hate to say it but i think the debates and watching these guys contrast one another are going to be telling. >> >> always good to see you guys. thanks for your time. >>> coming up president obama's task force on 21st century policing had its first public meeting today. are we getting any closer to turning cops and their communities into partners to fight crime? that is next. the sugar in one regular can of soda. and this is a soda a day for a year. over an average adult lifetime that's 221,314 cubes of sugar. but you can help change that with a simple choice. drink more water. filtered by brita. ♪ and introducing our new advanced filter, now better than ever. if you're running a business legalzoom ha

the organization isil are inexpiring other groups to rebrand themselves, about you in rebranding themselves they rebrand into a more radical ideology. that's what makes it dangerous. >> this would seem to me to be the definition of asymmetric war fare. you are the commander the greatest military in the world, yet you can have a handful of gunmen who can terrorize and lock down a great city like paris and a great city like france. how frustrating for you as the general of the join chiefs that you're fighting in that way. >> it's a group that lacks advantages of those who they are attacking. as you say we are the most powerful military, and as a result, we tend to be a target for groups. i wouldn't say it's just asymmetric. this is some combination of using symmetric capabilities whether it's in the media space, cyber cyber or in some cases conventional. >> how are re doing in the war against isis from pushing back from the territory they took over the last year and in destroying it? >> one of the things i said right from the start is that a group that embraces such a radical ideology has to

as "the washington post" said this morning, when a candidate has to rebrand yourself as authentic.re rebranding as authentic, you're probably not very authentic. >> i want to get to exactly that point, doug. the romney people say he's not rebranding just run being a new message in a new yeefrmt let me play something for you that he said last night. i covered mitt romney in '08 and 2012 when there was a joke he like to tell about ann romney. he said when he ran for is that the, he turned around and said in your wildest dreams did you ever think i was running for senate? she said mitt you weren't in my wildest dreams. >> she said mit, you weren't in my wildest dreams. actually she didn't say that. that was a joke during my campaign. >> he said what? >> he just said last night that he bought that joke during his campaign. >> purchased the joke from a writer. apparently he said that in the fall also. i don't know if he's kidding about that. i don't know what's real or not. but, doug if part of new authenticity is to talk about the fact -- joke about the fact you weren't authentic befor

it is coming down to the core of rebranding. mcdonald's is up against some stiff competition with the makes of chipotle panera and even red robin gourmet burgers. i think they really have to have -- >> rebranding -- they have 36,000 restaurants. let's step back europe it. -- here a bit. they sell billions of burgers. they have created this huge enterprise on a business model that works. how do they rebrand themselves? >> it is a bit of a fine-tuning of the brand. maybe a play on that. getting a better quality approach to the burgers. that is what is drawing a lot of millennials that go into this segment of the market. they're looking for that fresh quality. mcdonald's has always stepped away from that. they are great execution on price and speed and delivery. there is a slight disadvantage in the product. you have talked about shrinking the menu a bit to be more efficient. they have lost a lot of market share within the breakfast segment. they owned the breakfast segment a decade ago. we have new players like subway and chick-fi

rand paul is a very fascinating figure when we talk about that rebranding. but now we're talking about -- instead of a direction and new faces, a jeb bush and a mitt romney and, of course rand paul is not leaving aside any chances to hit both of them. >> and the people around him, are they making a mistake early on here, brad? if mitt romney was president, there wouldn't be any isis and vladimir putin would know his place in life. they're off to a hell of a start, aren't they? >> i understand their instinct to look at whatever is wrong with the obama record now and go to the primary and say, i was right on all these things. why would you trust anyone else to do this? i think his problem is the economy. look at what's happening now with the economy. for example, the unemployment rate has fallen much faster than mitt romney. >> he said obama didn't know anything about the economy. he was against the automobile loan. he said detroit should have gone bankrupt. i wonder if the chris christie's of the world and the walker's of the world are going to hold him accou

rebranding luxembourg. the ever-enterprising grand duchy sures up new ways to keep the money flowing. tlc, elephant-style. some hard-earned time out for laos' endangered beasts of burden. australia, "no way!" the onetime immigration nation goes to new and drastic lengths to discourage refugees. another year is almost over. and another tax year too. a good time then for the european union to tighten up the fiscal loopholes which allow multinational companies like amazon and fiat to reduce their tax bills by channeling their money through luxembourg, the little landlocked country which has become the world's premier corporate tax haven. with its controversial bank secrecy rules due to be lifted in 2017, luxembourg is already positioning itself to attract a new category of client. who would have thought that luxembourg has an underbelly? but there are parts of the grand duchy that the corporate world has not yet reached. the mood is not good. it is overlooked by the statute of the "tall banker." luxembourg's s

. >> kelly o'donnell is following the action on capitol hill where apparently the gop is rebranding itself as the party of medicare and social security. an interesting development there. talk about the opening arguments from the white house versus what is happening in congress on that budget. >> reporter: well opening arguments is a good way to talk about it because the president laid out his wish list and progresses in congress heard a lot of things they like and republicans that use phrases like dead on arrival and the rhetoric you heard there are setting the goalpost on the conservative side. so maybe there is room for more practical negotiation to go forward. it is true that republicans do want to do tax reform and true that the white house picked some tax ideas that have been advocated by republicans. however, part of what the rub is in all of this is that by raising taxes and making that a part of the package, that is hard for conservatives. that is standard. what you would expect republicans to want to do is to look at things like closing loopholes and trying to lower rates over all

on poverty, for example, middle class, he is looking to rebrand himself? >> right.o rebrand in 2008 and 2012 this is a story we have been talking about a long time with mitt romney. he has a gift for reinvention, it served him well also attracted a lot of negative attention. i think it would again. clearly he has to chart a different course to enter the race this time. you brought up poverty, he has been talking about that and income inequality clearly that's a huge issue in this country, the president has said that's an area they made no or little progress. is that something that in romney's background you can see in romney's background, meaning that does he have the skill set or experience with that kind of thing? i don't know. it is possible. but there's nothing that jumps out at me that says oh, yeah he worked hard on those issues in the past therefore he would be a great one to champion that. i think that's a big question. >> the whole fact of his faith, seems to be much more up front with it now, in the last couple of weeks, but i am wondering if he is going t

the idea we've been talking about rebranding. and his people pushing back it's not rebranding. voters do we shift our sensibilities and our belief in candidates as quickly as the machine wants us to believe it will? >> he has -- to your point, he has a hard sale. the one candidate in the two dozen potential gop candidates who can ill-afford yet another rebranding is mitt romney. because that's what did him in last time. he did not run, michaela as the candidate who governed massachusetts. he had to play the crazy card in primary season. you saw last saturday in iowa steve king put that event together they all came out and tried to beer-muscle each other. that's good for the primary season. >> but it speaks to your theory that he wants to be his more authentic self. >> yeah he's annoyed at how handled he was last time. this time he wants another crack at being his real self. >> i don't blame him. the most stunning moment of the republican convention four year ago, was it four years ago? last cycle. the chair with clint. people didn't get to see it it didn't air in prime time wit

they pledged allegiance to isis in november, rebranding themselves the sinai province of islamic state. experts say they are gaining in skill and strength. >> the overall result is you have an insurgency that is growing in size, scale scope and intensity. for the first time, you have nonstate actors in egypt with this level of sophistication in terms of the armed attacks and the type and number of arms they have. >> the militants have taken root in the sand of sinai where tribes have long complained of neglect and where movement is controlled by the army. this is now a key battleground for egypt. what happens in this strategically important peninsula is also a concern for egypt's neighbors. instability here is a threat to the region. militants based in sinai have shown themselves to be a resilient enemy. that enemy benefits from the poverty and lack of development here. locals tell us they are struggling to survive. she says she has four sons, all with diplomas, but none with a job. she says they sit home idle and depressed and it pushes young men into crime. others say the massive arm

this is a rebranding campaign. marijuana got a bad rap, and it's a miraculous plant. and i believe if it was found today in the amazon jungle, it would be labeled the next super food and drug. and we're witnessing the end of cannibus prohibition as we sit here. >> so mark, cheryl said colorado, and you about of that the next presidential candidates will have to be grappling publicly with this issue, and you say i'm not against all legalization, just dumb legalization, and what does dumb legalization look like? >> it looks like what we're getting now. high, when the price collapses. very low prices leading to much more heavy use by adults, and much more use by minors. regulations that don't amount to much, aggressive marketing, people trying to make a lot of money selling a lot of weed. the problem with the legal cannibus business is, you can't make money selling cannibus except to people who smoke too much. people who smoke a modern amount aren't good customer, so we'll develop a whole industry to people dependent on cannibus like the alcohol industry, so the question

think this is more like a movement is on ideology, and we see that the islamic state is trying to rebrand or even claim ownership of these attacks it are on. we heard about a mosque in basel saying that this was just the beginning, and they would continue with the attacks on germany or whatever, great britain, allied forces, allied countries. this is a typical pattern. they are encouraging young people to do any kind of attacks, but they do not necessarily happen under the direct command, which is a big difference in the case of al qaeda. >> so there's no direct connection right now? >> i do not think so. there is a command structure here. >> this attack seems unusual. the oaks and carried it out -- the folks who carried it out seem to have military training. witnesses say they were not excitable, not agitated but really on a mission. is this a new dimension? >> i think so. the mixture of jihadist ideology but at the same time, the extremely violent and extremely cold blooded execution of such an operation -- this is really remarkable. the jihadists we are dealing with are of a generation

there's been so many rebrandings, i don't know how many time swres to be subjected to this idea that if we only knew the real mitt romney we would clamor for him. >> what happens now? jeb bush is making an aggressive play right now. is this a thing? does this encourage donors to go to jeb bush to send mitt romney a message? does this create an opening for somebody to stand up? the joe mccarthy moment? >> we've seen several donors that have solidified their support for jeb. mitt romney's own florida chair in 2012 says he's behind jeb if he runs. and thinks too, a lot of people wanted jeb to run last time. he passed. i think that if -- if some of his big donors and his big bender wills may be there. but with the field the way it is, i think eventually, like you said, he is a calculating businessman. eventually, he looks at this. i feel like someone's got to sit him down and say, look mitt. >> it's like -- >> emblematic with everything that's wrong with the system. the media hears about this and we feed on it. we can't believe this is going to happen. then all of the people around him,

and if they wanted to use him, they needed to rebrand how they were doing their shows. we are seeing the emergence of opinion related news shows. but for lou dobbs to be able to say that he was a nonbiased journalist, when we saw evidence to the contrary, and real damage being done, as he was, in many ways, changing the mindset that people had with the latino community. we had worked with the anti-defamation league at the time, who had done a series of research to show that certain words that lou dobbs was using had been used to create a different mindset around people, when they are referred to in terms related to animal. he had used the word horde and other labels around the latino community. it creates a pejorative mindset. one that tries to change the views that people have when we should be talking about the issues. for us, it is one to talk about the issues, but he was changing the perception that people had of hispanics with terms that the adl said were hate speech terms. >> explain the difference. what is the difference between a chicano, latino, hispanic. what

we are continuing much of the bush era politics although rebranded. not necessarily of the u.s.'s choosing but the u.s. last embraced it is fighting it and the reality is the same way palestinians have limited ability to fight back against israelis, they have suicide bombings and rock-throwing. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is going to try hit vulnerable targets and -- that's my point, if we overreact and give them too much authority to say hey we have got you guys in prison here in your own minds then the idea we claim to be standing against we lose out. >> last, aqap in yemen -- >> no one's in control it of so aqap is very settled where they are. it's amazing how the u.s. seems to be able to kill a tremendous number of people in yemen but not the leadership of aqap. >> lot of people are saying yemen is the new afghanistan. jeremy skahill, good to see you. >>> growing to the debate of freedom of expression in france, "charlie hebdo" sold out 5 million of its latest edition. a banner on the cover saying "all is forgiven. all falls under laws that prohibit hate speech. those a
