mr. webers comments. this is about formula retail controls. you made bold steps in updateing the legislation passed a decade prior and it was time to do that and one critical piece that you asked to have come back to you is the issue about subsidiaries and it is very real at there and we have been deiging into it, had success with the working group. supervisor mar is committed to come up with a good set of policies but giving more time to january is helpful. this is a big issue to make a big decision on. thanks. >> tommy [inaudible] from housing rights committee. we support the continuance of the interim controls to give planning staff a chance to work on them more. specifically, we feel that they need to address the issue of the demolition of rent controlled units and what will happen. obviously we don't support the demolition of rent controlled units at all and feel this commission and the planning department should have a policy of no demolition of rent controlled units, however, if there is in the interim controls any protection put in pla

as they are leaving, vin weber says, mr. president, tell us what worries you most about us? i worry that your idealism might sometimes get in the way of what i think of as sound governance. vin weber said, he always credited bush for using the word idealism, not ideology, purity, nuttiness, inflexibility. there is a direct line from that conversation to the 1990 budget deal, when bush puts out the press release -- he doesn't announce it. they stick the press release on the bulletin board. , bush neverng days comes out and explains why he put the tax increase is back on the table. and vin weber and gingrich find out about it from reporters. it instantly goes into vin weber's mind that this is what bush was talking about at that moment. would bring democrats along to get spending caps. in many ways, that moment is the beginning or a critical chapter in the politics we have now. john: that is one of the many amazing stories in your book. thank you for coming on the show. we believe that to talk about some other stuff in 60 seconds. ♪ mark: welcome back. another busy weekend in

. >> reporter: he's a bit of an unusual sight but by now rob weber has become a fixture of the campaign trail. >> mr peace. >> reporter: this boston-based musician has been traveling the country to meet with candidates simply to hand them a flower and ask them to pray for peace with him. >> i hope this goes well. >> what better way to take my message of peace to the average person and bring it to people that can actuaually make a chan in the real world? >> reporter: the flowers he hands out, symbolic for growth and change he says. they've earned him the name flower man. but different candidates of course have reacted differently. jeb bush, for one, has fully embraced him. >> great to see you, brother. so campaigning away. thank you, man. >> i don't know if he'd go so far as to say friends, but we're friendly. >> but it's not always like that. >> i got roughed up by trump's followers. that was a nasty situation. >> reporter: weber says he's learned a lot about the candidates from doing this. >> the best way to peace is peace through strength. >> even in the beginning i thought of myself as a bit of a

mr. go on to write that weber is hoping that more u.s.titutions will contribute to the korean memorial and that the foundation will be able to add a new structural element to the memorial, a wall of remembrance that lists the names of everyone who was killed, wounded, or missing in action. let's go to joe in kentucky, a republican. good morning. what did you think of it? caller: it was ok. i did not want all of it, but i maybest trying to get former general colin powell and the former secretary of state to maybe join in. i think he would make a fine .resident vice president biden, i would like to see him. host: ok. we believe the conversation on politics they are because we are going to turn our attention now to veterans day 2015. today is november 11. we are going to talk with bill rausch. he is to talk about the issues facing today's soldiers. and then later dr. harold kudler , the medical health specialist -- mental health specialist at the ba and colonel elspeth cameron ritchie will talk about veterans mental health issues. those conv

weber. you are a friend of the speaker to be, mr. ryan, the freedom caucus had a list of nearly 21 demands. any of them that call for wide range of changes in the house rules. how do you think mr. ryan will fair with that caucus, or will he be subject to the same tensions that play does -- that plagued speaker weiner? -- speaker weiner -- boehner. tired ofk he got dealing with the freedom caucus and choate the last several months. he was quite public in saying critical things about them. procedurals is not or rules driven, it is about personalities, and paul ryan starts with the goodwill of folks on that end of the party spectrum. that is why he got the support of 70% of the members of the freedom caucus. they trust him and think he is an honest man. they had come to the conclusion that they did not like john boehner. you want to be hopeful, in my judgment, it's more because of the personality changes and maybe a honeymoon period that paul ryan ought to inherit that exists because he does not have to deal. we should not make the mist

so finally weber says mr.ll us what worries you the most and bush said without hesitation i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as sound governance. i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as sound governance. that is seen solution of what has happened in the 25 years in weber and weber tells the story generously, point out that he always appreciated that bush has said idealism. he didn't say. he come he didn't say theology, he didn't say nothingness. he gave them credit and that was their idealism. that's what happened when the right-wing republicans george bush in the summer of 1990. he began at that point on the domestic political standing that ended with his defeat in 1996. but he knew that would happen. breaking the read my lips breaking taxes was the example. he knew that he would be as he told me once politically i was going to be -- but he thought in the interest of the nation the lesson of george herbert walker bush' life is that

and so finally after beginning to leave weber says, mr. we wish you most about it. and bush said without hesitating, i worry that sometimes your idealism may get in the way of what i think of as self-governance. let me repeat that. i worry that sometimes your idealism make it in the way of what i think of as sound governance. that is the encapsulation of what's happened in the ensuing 25 years. and weber who told the star general to point out he always appreciated that bush had said idealism. he didn't say purity. he didn't say ideology. he didn't say nuttiness. he gave them credit that that was their idealism. that's what happened when the right wing rebelled against george bush in the summer of 1990. and he began at that point a slight on his domestic political standing that ended with his defeat in 1992. but he knew that that would happen. so breaking to read my lips no new tax was another example, for example, was civil rights critical to of compromise. he knew he would be as adobe wants politically i was going to be dead meat. but he
