the american people would be able to see how difficult it appears to be able to do this. you know, if you go back to the phoenix wait list issue with sharon hellman, you know, she ended up being fired, not for the manipulation of the wait times. in fact, va almost lost that, what they ended up doing was finding out she'd been taking gifts on the side, and that's what she ended up getting fired for. so realistically you can say right now only three people have been fired as it relates to wait times. none of them, the senior folks, and now there are a couple other folks that are in the process, and i think there was one last week, maybe the chief medical officer out at thoma, i think they have now taken action there for overprescribing opioids. again, whether there's a problem, it takes way too long. we still have people that are on paid administrative leaves. a year and a half after, they're still on administrative the leave getting paid from phoenix. >> wait for a microphone and pose, if you would, one question so we can get to you. in the back, yes. >> hi, arthur allen f

why i was able to, after leaving the military, able to go back to college and major in engineering."this was the reason why my children who have a learning disability are able to engage with their math class." and it was 2008, i set it up as a not-for-profit. by 2009, this was all i was thinking about. my wife and i sat down, and we figured let's give it a shot. it feels like this could be a real organization. i quit my job and tried to see if we could do it for real. emily: was it scary? sal: yes. [laughter] our first son had just been born. we ended up digging into our savings to the tune of about $5000 a month. you almost have to have a somewhat delusionally optimistic mindset. it was the most stressful time of my life. you kind of question your self worth. like, "oh, so what do you do for a living?" [whispers] i make youtube videos. emily: like, not the cats playing pianos, guys. sal: exactly. so, like, nine or 10 months into it, all of a sudden, we got our first major donation. it was from ann doerr. i immediately e-mailed her -- it was a $10,000 donation. i said thank you so mu

>> i'm not able to give you that information. >> okay. thank you. >> i yield back. >> gentle lady yields back. >> the chair recognizes mr. richman from louisiana. >> thank you for coming and enduring several hours of testimony, i will try to be very brief. what i wanted to do in the beginning, mr. chairman, ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a report from the clemency report, talks of 25 women deserving of clemency, sharona jones and danielle mets. i want to give you a copy to talk about it in the future. >> without objection, it will be entered into the record. >> thank you. there are cases where women were sentenced to either natural life in jail or really large number of years when they were not actual kingpin, they were just either fol he loing their boyfriend or other things and i'd like the department to do something on that, as we talk about criminal justice reform and move forward. i represent the second congressional district of louisiana, which is new orleans. and where he under a very unique situation in which we ha

they do bring access to areas we would otherwise not be able to operate from or be able to monitor. and then it provides the political top cover so if we can demonstrate that is the way we are used to operating it may drive into a calculation where they realize i'm not just upsetting the united states but a number of my other neighbors which could re-create other problems down the road politically for them. there may be a political benefit to managing things through a coalition. >> thank you, mr. chairman. general alexander, do we have a stated doctrine with regard to what is a cyber attack or do we have a defined limit where we identify something as an act of war if our financial resources are attacked? >> the only thing i know that comes close to that is the president's statement in 2009 about how we would respond using any form of power -- cyber, military, diplomatic -- to respond to a cyber. there are no rules of the road. war games can help tighten some of that up and should. >> would anyone disagree with that analysis? >> if we try to use cyber to attack a cyber attack, we may

if you were able to get into school, any school or even the trade if you are not able to go to college, utilize the opportunity to. they are the plans you follow. expect why do you include the track story? >> first of all that was my first love, track and field. i ran the sport events when i was in high school, long jump, before 40 and the 100-yard -- to veto and i loved every minute of it. i was a true tomboy and i love sports. and i just thought to mention that it's something for our young people to look at. fortunately i wasn't able to utilize the scholarship to go to college because of my senior year in high school i worked half the day and then i went to school for half the day. another great experience for me i wasn't able to go to college right away but that's okay because i appreciate what i have to go through. i went to school for 11 years and i didn't waste any opportunity. i utilized every moment and every second that i could to make the best of it. >> the subtitle how obama and the left are driving americans to the government plantation. first of all what do you mean? >> i

it is important that we make it easy to be able to do trade. if we have that kind of money, i believe we need to spend it on agents to go on the bridges and crossings.edite the through el paso alone, we have $90 billion to $100 billion from traded that crosses every year, and the city of el paso went project. took on a we are actually funding to be able to open up the bridges and expedite. if we had that can of money, it -- we have that kind of money -- if we had that kind of money, this would be a great place to spend and would make it a lot easier to keep the trade from coming across. host: mayor villarreal, do you think the issue of trade is

i'm not able to give you that answer at this time. we will see what information we can provide about that matter. as i indicated, we have a robust screening mechanism for refugees from all countries. it relies upon efforts of not just the fbi but the department of homeland security, department of defense, state department. it uses interviews, biometric data. it is as i indicated earlier, a challenging process. as it everything we do in law enforcement. that does not mean we're not committed to doing everything we can to make sure that the process is as robust as possible and that we do everything that we can to protect the american people. >> i think the concern though is that you can do everything right but given the lack of data, the lack of information about we have on people who are being pulled out of a very, very difficult situation -- circumstance, an islamic civil war, that you can do everything right and you could still have people come into the country who mean to do us harm. this bosnian was able to get in and probably circ

so the fact that it is able to or it is able to claim responsibility for acts that are being committed in its name, it's a message to say we're able to reach anywhere and everywhere and we're now willing to go global. it's also, i think, a recruitment strategy. it's saying to its followers everywhere look how strong we are, we're able to strike at the heart of the western heart land so to speak >>> the immediate response from the big powers has been to intensify their air strikes, particularly on raqqa, the i.s.i.l. strong hold in syria. is this the way forward? is this the way that the fight against i.s.i.l. can be brought to a successful collusion conclusion. >> air strikes are just not sufficient. reports out of raqqa, apparently large numbers have fled, but historically air strikes do not accomplish much in that way. they can diminish the people. unless we have a strategy that looks at the military campaign, boots on the ground, but also looks at the root causes of why people are flocking to i.s.i.l. at the end of the day the people who carried out the attacks in france are predomi

they have been able to take advantage of that. they are able to advance their goals and objectives. i started out the national security intelligence in 1980. i must say, i have never seen a time when we have faced more serious and consequential issues confronting our national security around the globe. carrie and myself and others spent much time in the white house in the white house situation room with president obama and others to address these issues that span the globe that are of such intensity and consequence as well as so quick to develop as well as to have impact around the world that there has been never a time that i think the u.s. national security challenges have been greater, nor the requirement for the united states to be actively involved in trying to address these many challenges. i have spent a good part of my life working on living in, studying in the middle east. i must say the middle east and the islamic world is going through some very challenging times. fromg a transition authoritarian governments and regimes to try to move forward with democratic principles an

be able to take on that role, to the long-range strike bomber. is it just for strike or will it be able to take on isr or even air-to-air combat roles in the future? these are possibilities if we allow them to happen and not be locked in by past decisions. >> mr. scharre? >> thank you, senator. i think there's an issue of quantity. there certainly are places to trim the quantities of assets. not just to have fewer numbers of more capable things, but then to trade that for larger numbers of lower-cost systems. so, moving to this issue of thinking about, as dr. singer mentioned, sort of the major combat assets as -- think of them as sort of a quarterback behind a fight, right? a bomber that is not just carrying assets to the fight, but the pilots are controlling a swarm of maybe lower-cost unmanned vehicles. and a submarine as a hub of a network of autonomous undersea vehicles or undersea payloads that then expand the capabilities we actually have in the fight. >> what this kind of points to is separating the platform, if you will, from the payload

they would be able to see the person, see their children. there's a room there where the kids can play and the parent can watch them and be referred to a shelter if they need it. the other thing that i think is important there is that there is a closed circuit television so if the individual who is being abused needs to go to court but doesn't want to face his or her abuser, they can do it through closed circuit tv. >> erin, at the d.c. domestic violence coalition, you've got a lot of resources. tell us what your load is like. >> well, let's see, in 2014 there were 33,000 calls to the metropolitan police department that were domestic violence related. we're fortunate we have at least three solely domestic violence resources for shelter, so domestic violence confidential shelters and that's really important for someone who is seeking shelter, but, you know, also in d.c. we have a housing -- an affordable housing crisis, so what we are seeing is that a lot of the homeless population has a history of domestic violence. so even with our great sh

we will not be able to do that in the future. we will move to systems that are increasingly passive. there are key technologies we have to develop in those areas. last, an arab, sensor advancements will result in situations where small, fast, maneuverable aircraft will not be as efficient. those are some key areas that we our to be able to take existing advantage and build upon in order to be successful against our adversaries in the future. is obviously an area of competition today. be an area of competition. it looks like, given the policy choices that they united states has made, and will likely make in the future, and our own dependence on those areas. those may not be areas where we have a significant military advantage. b may be in a situation where we have to defend our current capability. we may be forced into a defensive mode. to be able to address these technologies, we must look at how we have developed technology in the defense department. we have talked about the fact that we have an 18 month cycle and technology, bu

how many do you think you'll be able to get in now? >> there i think we have about 12 to 14, depending on the time of year. >> okay. >> i think we're probably set, but perhaps this will give us an opportunity to go longer into the year. talk about generating economic activity. >> yeah. >> the day that we're there, the supermarket that's on the corner has its highest volume in sales 'cause we're bringing people to make it a destination and a food destination. >> so, i guess that answers the question about generating income. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. guys, sit tight. i got a few more questions to talk to you about, because this is great. when we heard about this, we had to have you on the show. more on the >> welcome back to "tiempo." we have been discussing this morning the brand-new plaza de las americas in washington heights, and joining us to tell us a little bit more about it, dennis reeder, executive director of the washington heights & inwood development corporation. michael hurwitz is the director of greenmarket program, and

i think the reason they're able to walk to europe is because they're able bodied and i think the reason they're going is because they've lost hope in the places they're living now, in being able to finish their educations, have an education or have a job and earn some moni and support their families. >> when we see pictures of thousands and thousands of young muslim men, one thing has to be a priority. we want to help refugees whose lives are in danger. that's our moral stand here. this is what makes us america. when you're talking about the people that i've seen are military-age people. if they're against radical islam, they should be there fighting radical islam. and i hope that -- in terms of religion, of the people who are here, of the people who are coming, we know that the christian community in that part of the world has been targeted for what most of us would consider genocide. they take the christians out and massacre them. sunnies and shiites kill each other. that's clear. it's hard to -- christian community has been targeted for extinction. should we not then try to prioritiz

they have been able to do quite amazing thing so for example they been able to invent new circuits to do radio reception to invent a radio or to invent a low pass filter. these circuits often work better than the circuits designed by human inventors and impact they have made patents for the circuits. they were able to make a patent about intention. the more advanced type of genetic algorithm is what is called genetic for cramming. the idea in genetic programming is that well why do this with strings? this is a very low-level representation. the program is really a tree of operations like multiply. >> by the equivalent and we can build rich programs evolutionary leap. except instead of being two strings you start with one string and then you crossover to the other. you do that with these probe rim of tree so for example if you take this point in this tree in this point in history for crossover than one of the spring will be the tree in wide and the other offspring will be the tree and black. the tree and why does one of the formulas for the duration is a function of its average distanc

we've been able to figure out routes to the buses and figure out where the taxi stands will be and the emergency vehicle access will be. this is something we do for many large special events. we did it for america's cup and for other large parades and other large celebrations. we are very confident in our ability to ensure people get to where they want to go whether they are participating or not safely and efficiently. we will be encouraging folks to use transit and just to address an issue that's been out there. there has been a lot of talk about the impact that sites down at the foot of embarcadero on muni might have overhead wires. we've been working hand in hand with the community over many months as they are refining their plans. the issue with the wires if you get close to the wires, that's not a safe situation and we need to move the wires. as we've been communicating with them, they have been able to redesign their structures for the village so it will not require the removal of overhead wires. the removal of overhead wires would have brought some cost but brought disruption be

they were able to do it. >> i remember that, it was wonderfully well written. i would like nothing better than to -- no, that's not true. >> you would like to mock the book, i know you would, but you're an honest man and you're give meg your opinion. >> i'm the only person in the building that likes you is not afraid of you. >> was there a little survey? >> that's my lame unfunny observation. anyway, it's a wonderful book. >> i just want everybody to know, to get this man's attention torques actually get him to turn the page because he has the glasses situation, they're on the back of his head usually. then he has a puppet that he talks to. there's a lot of stuff going on. >>> ahead, where were you when president kennedy was shot in 1963? i'll tell you where i was. >> all of a sudden the loud speaker crackles and the principal says, there's a report president kennedy has been shot. shop like a pro at bass pro shops super saturday and super sunday sale for huge savings. save over $25 on north face mens' and ladies' fleece jackets. stop by this weekend for free g

and she was able to obtain a visa. i wanted to follow-up on that and see whether the program is still valid. i wondered if it is still valid, what the wait is like? is that another avenue? >> i can provide a quick answer, because i think we are running out of time. the new visa provisions are still applicable. there are 30 crimes. you have to be a victim of a crime for it. there are other visas for which they might be eligible, but for u visas, you need a prosecutor, lawyer, or judge to sign off on the supplement fee portion of it, lifting those 30 crimes of what that individual immigrant was a victim of. the normal waiting time and for monta is approximately 24 months, but that is getting longer every day. and it depends on what the victimization was and what impact had on them. that being said, there is no such thing as a guarantee, and what we find is education is probably the most important issue. prosecutors at the local level, law enforcement at the local level, and definitely judges at the local level, they feel

we were able to bring back two police, we were able to bring back two firefighters so that we can make sure that we're not just talking about public safety, that we're actually trying to make a difference in that area. we also did that by making sure that we can actually pay for those positions to be in place, so haven't just been talking about it. we've actually been there doing it and i stood to make sure that we can decrease the amount of brownouts as possible. i have a track record of doing this already. >> ron: any further comment on that? tim, you get the next question. >> jamison: shift gears a little bit. waterloo's property tax rate is higher than the surrounding cities. i don't think there's any argument about that. it's a subject of debate every time there's an election. a lot of people suggest we need to cut expenses to get that tax rate lower. others suggest that we need to encourage more development, lower the rate. where do you stand on that? >> hart: do i get first question? where do i stand on that? i think in regards to our taxes, it's been a school of two thoughts. o

(laughter) >> if you're not able to come back, we are able to hear your comments. i just want to make sure you don't use up all your time. >> thank you. i just want to say we've had the opportunity place dozens of individuals directly on projects on the shipyard because of projects we received. we have been able to take care of union deuce and pay for driver's license issues and deal with restitution and things for individuals in the system. of aside from that, we've also been able to provide resource for trainings and we train a lot of individuals with families on hazardous waste removal, ocean tend safety, cpr and things that prepare individuals for careers in the construction /stkreurbgs not just jobs, but actual careers. we're not just placing individuals on the shipyard but throughout san francisco, as you know, we have a lot of work going on and our work with la northward has made that highly possible. so i just wanted to share that and i want to share 1 more thing. y cd is a partner along with block 49. those 60 units of affordable houses, that 60 person edi

in studies, i'm 50% less likely to be able to do a correct identification. seeing someone at mid-day verse dusk has a big affect on how well you will be able to remember and make an identification. whether you're physically exerting yourself at the moment of the memory. that's often the case when you're suffering a crime. now, think the bigger problem with eye witness identification has to deal with factors in control of the police. memories easily lost and easily corrupted, and research suggests that -- the subtle suggestion by the persons a mr.ing the lineup, little things, like when the witness starts to pick out one of those innocents, saying to the person, ma'am, we have plenty of time. take your time. that just seems like a prudent thing to tell a person. after all, a mistaken identification can derail a whole case being worked by detectives. isn't that a good thing for an officer to say? the research suggests, no. that can lead to misidentification. same thing with just saying, after the person has picked someone out, good job, ma'am, you got the susp

if we are able to have the more police officers and do community policing, then we will be able to get ahead of a lot of things that happen. the police officers will know more about who are the good guys, who are the bad guys in the community. they will also be working with community leaders and understanding when things are percolating under the surface so they can have more preventative measures. >> you want to see police doing some community service work, a certain number of hours per month even. how would that work? >> yes. it's not necessarily community service. it's more community engagement within their job. i'm not asking the police officers to go over and above and what they are giving. just change how they're spending some of their time. so how i see it is giving police officers the autonomy to have eight hours a month that they can spend in any community activity of their choosing. we want the police officers to be part of the community they serve, to have a chance to play in the softball league or volunteer at a school, all within their duties, which i think will really cha

second, they are able to self-associate in the game.ay be able to invite you to play in a certain game. i may be able to invite my friends in syria and china and iran to join me even though i am sitting in the u.s. to play in a certain game. within that game, you are able to open up a separate communications threat that allows you to e-mail, text, and communicate via voice in that same application. that presents a couple of different challenges. first, people are going to self-associate. if you know who you are going to work with, you can do that via the application. second, that communication occurring in that group looks to be encrypted. if you don't know what you are looking for, you cannot do blanket interception. even if you do know what you are looking for, you have to have the keys to unlock that communication. emily: the documents revealed by edward snowden showed the c.i.a. and f.b.i. have been looking into these gaming networks. had they found this is really happening? what sort of progress have they made in terms of surveilli

they were able to remain safe. this attacker was able to get inside the clinic. is that something you'll look at when you consider changes to security? >> caller: yes, absolutely. we have -- as i said, we have cameras. we can see where he came in and how. we'll have to figure out exactly how he broke the perimeter. we have to keep an armed person from just walking into the facility but we don't know exactly yet how he did obtain an entrance to the location. again, the way it happened once he was in, we are reassured our systems were working to keep our people safe. >> and i hear you stressing the safety record. it makes me wonder, are you worry that some people who would consider using the services that planned parenthood provides, that they would be discouraged to do so in the aftermath of this? >> caller: i'll not particularly worried about that. people know and trust planned parenthood and know we put their interest first and advocate for them and care for them. we were there today providing well woman exams, doing the important breast checks and cancer screen

i think that is what we will be able to do. mr. newhauser: would you vote for an omnibus bill that does not deal with the syrian refugee issue? rep. price: i think you have to look at the full package. those are things that i think need to be addressed, as you know, in our budget. we appealed obamacare. we did so, not just because of the numbers, but because i can tell you, as a physician, it is bad for health care in this country. quality health care is decreasing because of obamacare. you have states that are ending co-ops. they have gone bankrupt or they are struggling. you have major insurance companies realizing that it does not work, what we said would not be able to function, is not functioning -- surprise, surprise. how confident are you that the communications group that the speaker has set up will be able to negotiate with rank-and-file members that they are passing about, like the planned parenthood bill and the refugee issue? rep. price: i think it is less about negotiation, and pulling people into have them be part of

we may be able to rethink that approaching everything to the aircraft carrier will some rain be able to take on that role was will it take on i asked are or are air-to-air combat roles in the future? these are possibilities if we allow them to happen and not be locked in by past decisions. >> mr. chair. >> thank you senator. i think this initiative quantities and there are certainly places to trend the quantity not just to have more capable things but then to trade that for larger numbers of lower-cost so moving to this issue been thinking about as dr. singer mentioned this major combat asset think of it as sort of a quarterback. a bomber that is not just carrying access to the fight but the pilots are controlling a swarm of vehicles and the submarine as the hub of the network of autonomous undersea vehicles and then expand capabilities to have them in place. >> what this kind of points to is separating the platform a few well from the payload so what we have done in the past we have developed the shed from aircraft with all that systems built into it and we would periodically modern

and also briefly want to touch on the issue of being able to get into city service. i worked for the city for all most 5 and a half years and i separated from the department of human resources and i was so confident when i walked out of dhr as the last time as a employee. i was confident very soon i would get opportunity in the city. i worked for 2 mayors, i have been done labor negotiateating, i have done budgeting, i bring a lot to the table. i spent 14 months after that out of work. i was on unemployment until congress decided i was unemployed long enough and cut off my unemployment and i have been to the dark side. i have experienced the depths of dispair and the depths of depression that come with applying and applying and applying for jobs that you know you're qualified for and never hearing anything back. getting to the point where you apply for jobs you are over qualified for just because you need a job and still never hearing anything back. so, in sumimation i would say as a city we need to keep marching forward. we are marching in the right direction. we mu

highs today should be able to climb to around 72 degrees here in the metro with lows this evening falling into the upper 50s across the state. thursday is looking mostly cloudy with a few isolated morning showers, but most of the rain will come through in the late afternoon through the evening. friday we are going to fall back into the low 50s, and we will probably stay in the 50s through the weekend. next week a big system will be trying to pull through the state bringing not only a bit of rain, but also a wintry mix and maybe light snow! sabrina: let's get into the top five this morning.... sabrina: the family of a special needs student who was wrestled to the ground by a school bus driver last week has broken their silence. ninth grader christian suarez was grabbed by the driver, 61 year old robert scarbrough, and shoved to the ground. he faces assault charges. the suarez family says they will wait till after the school district investigation to decide if they want to sue. elias: in the number two spot this morning... elias: looking at yesterday's election results.... with more than 80

and have the means to be able to contribute to these efforts. and that is what the navigation center, fund, can do for us. right now, the mayor's fund for the homeless, was the way that we were able to accept the donation. and when there have been fires and people have been able to make donations through it. and we were able to get them quickly to the families in need. the mayor's fund for the homeless, of course, could be used and continue to be used in this manner for the navigation center and we want to say that this is a little bit of a separate fund that is purely dedicated to where it is expanding the out comes of the navigation center towards moving people out of encampments and into the stable housing. and so with that --. >> thank you very much, and thank you for all of your hard work. much appreciated. >> colleagues if know questions, at this time, we will move on. >> supervisor mar. >> sam i was wondering, the budget analyst had a recommendation to change from category four, fund or from the category 8 fund, to a category four fund an

i literally would not be able to afford her vet bills without this group here. j.j.: this medicine, it tastes like--it' s a treat flavor, so you really want to hide it from her so she doesn' t get into the bottle and eat all of it. and that could be toxic, ok? so you have this, and you have your antibiotics right here. right? ok? and that should at least help for pain and infection. liz: when you volunteer for something of this caliber, the type of person that donates their time is an open, good-hearted, generous person. and that' s why we get along, you know. we just have that kind of circle of camaraderie because we' re all in this together for the animals. it' s very sad when you' re driving down the street and you see a homeless person with their dog, and you know that that animal needs veterinary care, and there' s nothing you can do for them. so this is a way for us to be able to provide that to that population of animals. jill: this is an incredible way have an outreach and have re forgotten. people can help by donating to something like hope. people can

i unfortunately was not able to participate. by the time i heard about this was almost too late. i merely notified nonprofits. there immediately concerns. we could've dealt with it at the time. now that it has passed his water under the bridge but i would ask is it needs to be implemented in february. i understand there's not a commission meeting in december. i don't know if you're willing to have interested persons meeting in december part if not i would ask that we have at least two interested persons meetings in january,, specifically targeted to nonprofits and unions to talk what this issue. wondering today and one during the evenings of people could come when those times that we do it very yeoman's job getting people to that meeting and having a discussion about what to do. nonprofits are some from being contract lobbyist at why that are exempt from being expenditure lobbyist? there are some reasons but we've never had a discussion. tonight was of this national nonprofit so far. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening. my name is debbie lemmon synthesis document services ne

we keep the animals until we are able to find homes for them. it doesn't matter if it is o days or over the years. at our shelter, we try to provide as home like an environment as possible, until they find their forever home. 4521 se 14th street, des moines, iowa (located between mckinley and watrous on the east side of the road.)

"money under 30 dot com" just put out the list... with des moines number four on the best cities in which to get rich. the website lists des moines' low unemployment rate, low commute times and calls it a place with a thoughtful balance between big-city bustle and small-town gentleness." cedar rapids also made the list as number 5 because of very low unemployement rates among millennials. elias: and take a look at this ... gas prices in some metro area stations have dropped below the

(laughter) >> if you're not able to come back, we are able to hear your comments. i just want to make sure you don't use up all your time. >> thank you. i just want to say we've had the opportunity place dozens of individuals directly on projects on the shipyard because of projects we received. we have been able to take care of union deuce and pay for driver's license issues and deal with restitution and things for individuals in the system. of aside from that, we've also been able to provide resource for trainings and we train a lot of individuals with families on hazardous waste removal, ocean tend safety, cpr and things that prepare individuals for careers in the construction /stkreurbgs not just jobs, but actual careers. we're not just placing individuals on the shipyard but throughout san francisco, as you know, we have a lot of work going on and our work with la northward has made that highly possible. so i just wanted to share that and i want to share 1 more thing. y cd is a partner along with block 49. those 60 units of affordable houses, that 60 person edi

how that works they have not been able to detail.they'll talk about that behind the scenes, but it does bring up the question if congress does not put his stamp of approval on it, can they just change it. >> what we have seen back in the united states is that there is a growing recognition on the part of the american people that it is important for the united states to use our influence around the globe to do something important to protect the planet. the second thing that is important, four years of skeptics of climate change political accept that it would be foolish in the united states to impose steps that would cut carbon pollution because they wouldn't have the desired impact if the rest of the world is not willing to do along with it. >> interesting that you're talking to us about the next president. we now have mr. obama, a second-term president. his power drips away in that term. the election is next year. is there a sense that he can or cannot offer guarantees of success here? >> he's saying that he can, but in reality it is

they were able to get-- >>> we're trying to figure it out and we apologise again. that's the mayor of colorado springs. we're having all kinds of fits and starts with our audio and we apologise for that. your thoughts now that we have one police officer killed and two civilian casualties on the scene there, inside the planned parenthood building. >>> for starters, i hear a lot of praise being extended for the first responders, but i have a lot of praise that should be extended towards the individuals that managed the planned parenthood facility because a large group of the individuals that were inside of the planned parenthood facility were in what is referred to as a safe room. it is a room-- >>> let me have you hold your thought. going back to lieutenant buckley. >>> again, no more questions. thank you for your patience. look for information from the office >>> it figures. the moment we get clean audio the briefing is over. you were saying you had some praise for the employees, people who were working inside the planned parenthood building. >>> right. when you th

i want to share what i haven't been able to share yet with anyone, any place and i was in mexico just uh recently and uh, to be able to answer questions to hundreds of kids who have never seen the ocean, was for me amazing. and i love that. >> you've seen the, the beauty of creation. you've seen extraordinary sites that most people will never see in their entire life. do you believe in a higher power or do you believe in a creator? is there a grand plan? >> we are the grand plan. as i mentioned earlier, we have the opportunity not to disappear, it's our choice. and uh i'm totally convinced that we cannot um, use any kind of excuses to not take action ourselves. and whatever one believes in, which is great, and i respect that completely, needs to be connected with reality of everyday life. and make sure that if you're happy, you want to continue being happy. if you have a problem, if you're starving, if you're not happy, other people can help you and we need to do that, and again, because of this communication revolution, there's no excuse anymore and we can all on the planet, have a d

this is land that the district has never been able to put in productive use.ause i had to put in federal bills to see if it could happen. and to show it could happen, up at noma behind union station, in a city that's developed, you can't afford to leave any part of it going to waste. and that's what was happening. these are my major projects. you get these done, even when the congress doesn't do anything. because the administration, even republican administration, will continue to fund federal development in the city. >> talk about the potential economic impact. >> the economic impact really is colossal, look at the old trump hotel, by the way. here's trump running for president with the hotel and the district of columbia going to be the first really hotel you and i that will be able to stay in this hotel and bring revenue to the district. and this development that i've just spoken of is going to produce tens of billions of dollars in investment for the district of columbia. because there will be retail -- mixed use retail. for us to use and for the region to

it also leaves a lot of room for the prosecutor to be able to overcharge people to be able to get themo plead guilty. and what we're seeing with the 6000 is, again, if we are not looking at everybody who is in prison and we're only looking at a certain segment of the population, we not going to be making any inroads into reducing mass incarceration. juan: even with these numbers, about one third of those being released will be deported. could you talk about that? have those folks already been deported or are in the process? >> people are in the process of being deported. a proximally 2000 people are foreign-born, which means because they did not have the luck of being born on u.s. soil or their parents were not able to apply for citizenship for them, they, unlike everybody who supposedly is getting a second chance, the 4000 u.s.-born federal drug war prisoners, don't get that second chance. what happens is they are technically discharged from the federal prison system. they don't get to walk out the gates to their family or friends or even get on a bus and go home and see their childre

and you ought to be able to refinance student debt. and i don't believe the federal government should be making a profit off of lending to young people who are borrowing to be able to get their education. we have got to make college affordable. epey skin. on your arms, on your legs, and even your neck.
