next year there will be a new version of the acu's, which does cross banding of radios. as long as we stay engaged we keep communicating and we keep working to the and keep the lines of communication open, i think the exercise will go excellent as we grow. >> i told my boss that communication's at the heart of everything. the stronger we are with our communication abilities the more success we will have going forward. not to beat a dead horse on this, but the common operating picture was really the point i brought back to my boss that i said would solve the shared mission issue, would solve the lexicon and slang issues and bring everyone to the same table understanding where we're going and to develop a few tools not only sort of specific to the department of public works to show our piece, but then more broadly to the city that we can bring to the incident and share, regardless of who's there, what part of the department of defense or other entities that are out there that can come to the table and hit the ground running as a result of that tool. that was my biggest tak

lay off the acu and cpac. they want win. first they get in trouble for not inviting chris christie.hey get in trouble for not inviting the anti-sharif beam. >> john: we're talking about it. >> good and bad but you got a beef with the acu, take it off. once you're hurting the conservatives on the part of our conservative organization, county attorneykeeppeople they're hurting the sponsors we're a partner in cpac this year. >> john: follow up. >> yes for an organization, the tea party that hangs it's banner on states right, they had a right to say they had the sandy bill. he had a right to do that. you're punishing him for doing something that he say he has the right to do. it's hypocrisy. >> john: topic number three. tea party electric ability. moving closer to the mainstream g.o.p. he published a book, he wants you to buy it, by he doesn't want to you read the part on immigration. >> jeb bush wrote this book. >> a year ago. >> a year ago. since that time--now he moved to the left when he wrote that book. what happened in between is that the senate republicans moved even farther to t

had an element either from the national guard or air national guard or the department of public works acu one thousand van and they pretty much made up the backbone of that network. the point i'm trying to make is we had redundancy at each site and then small unplanned events were not a factor. one way or another we were able to send our reports through. this is a starting point for working in san francisco. we could have probably done more analysis of the terrain that we're working in terms to identify those black holes for cops, those black areas. so we learned a lot. i think a lot of this has been captured in the afteraction and i think if we have another iteration next year to definitely have a good starting point. >> we brought from the california national guard, we brought our quick reaction area force and we brought our ic for you so we had 3 different com spans that are cross banded, which is an opportunity that not all dod assets have. they have civilian internet and that is their primary mission, is to cross band between the military and civilians. it worked very well because th

thanks to the determination of acu leadership, it has grown quickly since its inception in november,and we continue to help the acu build its capacity to coordinate and leverage international assistance inside syria . key challenges despite our efforts, syria's humanitarian crisis is quickly outpacing current international response capacity . as violence escalates, three critical challenges are impeding the international humanitarian system from more effectively meeting the urgent needs of the syrian people . first, access remains greatly constrained, especially to the seven northern governorates . in late january, the un had a breakthrough in delivering assistance across battle lines and has since completed three cross line missions . these efforts are making a tangible differencebut these cross-line operations are logistically complicated and dangerous, underscoring the need for direct, cross-border delivery . this is essential if we are going to be able to reach those in need more quickly . >> thank you. he said, and increasingly beleaguered regime might be prepared to use chemica

acu has asked that you get there early. donald trump. the biggest attraction.s his humility goes, first? >> it's impressive, really. quite impressive. the thing is, besides just him alone creating a carnivallike, unserious atmosphere, what the gop really needs right now is ideas. they need thought leader. they knead to do some soul searching and actually come up with some solutions that would appeal to the american public. donald trump is exactly the wrong

. >> sean: following that exchanning cruz was hammered by the left and acued of being disrespectful. feinstein was asked about it. >> were you insulted by what senator cruz said. walk us through your thinking. >> well, i just felt patronized. i felt he was somewhat arrogant about it and you know, when you've come from where i've come from and what you've seen and when you've found a dead body and put your finger in bullet holes, you really realize the impact of weapons. >> sean: all right. patronizing, arrogant, why? because he asked a tough question? here with the reaction to this senator ted cruz himself. welcome back to the program. >> sean, it's always great to be with you. >> sean: let's get your take on this, i liked your question, i would have liked an answer because this was a constitutional question. you're a former attorney general. you think she was uncomfortable answering it? >> well, look, i think we should be asking a lot more questions in congress about the constitutionality for just about everything this body does. you know, i have to say the reaction to that particul

the woman acued of shooting, stabbing and slitting her ex-boyfriend's throat.nswering more questions from an arizona jury and arias sparring with the prosecutor about they are memory lapses and her version of how she killed her ex-boyfriend, travis alexander. >> right? >> that's what i remember saying, yes. >> and again, are you having any memory problems today? >> not that i'm aware of. >> well, again, who else would be aware of you having any memory problems other than you? >> objection, your honor-- >> well, you seem to imply that i am so-- >> i'm not implying thinking. i want to you tell me whether or not you're having any memory problems right now. >> well, i've already answered that said not that i'm aware of. >> and the information that you told us about mr. alexander, telling that the gun was unloaded you believed it was unloaded and you were getting that gun. what were you going to do with it if it was unloaded. >> i was just thinking of pointing it at him because i know personally if a gun was pointed at me my first instinct was going to be to stop an

we never have at acu. he's a successful businessman who's not afraid as an entrepreneur to talk about america and the economy. as michael said, we'll see what he says tomorrow. i think he'll be a positive influence on the youngsters here. a lot of kids want to have their picture taken with somebody who's made $3 billion. >> i understand the mentality. >> it will be interesting to see what happens. i'll tell you what i'm mostly proud of. michael will relate because he shares that passion with me. 18 african-american speakers, hispanics, 17 women, a lot of republican leaders under 40. we want to show the new face of the party. frankly, we think we've turned a page. >> the most famous, he's going to be speaking there. he's the guy who said there are 78 to 81 communists in the democratic house of representatives. let's hear what he has to say. here he is. allen west. your guy. >> there's no shortage of people telling us what conservatism cannot accomplish. what we can't do. how we cannot connect. how we must c

the acu have greater capacity to do more.our assistance is reaching out for governance and approximately 60% of our aid reaches those in contested and opposition held areas. we have prioritized food, basic medical and tom care, release supplies. opened, and note to take daily bread first 210,000 people. we are supporting 144 hospitals, health clinics and mobile units providing essential care, looking at the needs of women and children affected by the conflict. my second point is that all of this is not enough. the growing crisis is outpacing the international response capacity. the single biggest factor limiting humanitarian aid is that we need more access across battle lines, we need across the border access. we are not able to reach everyone in need. .here are not enough resources there is not enough money to reach the scale of this need. we continue to urge all countries to follow through in the generous commitments they made at a pledging conference in kuwait. it is imperative for all countries to step toward, to share th

i think it's going to be a more appropriate acue treement of a desk of a prime time host. >> you don'tng on the weekends. >> you don't want to be tipping sunday morning at 10:00, but at 9:30 having just come out of a prime time show and change out of the suit, it's a perfectly acceptable little treat to give one's self. >> how much is that going to last? >> i don't want to say that on camera. >> got you back there, chris. anyway, tomorrow at 12:30, eastern, chris and i get into the differences between capitol hill and the majority of americans when it comes to positions on gun control. plus, how his new work schedule is going to change his home schedule. >>> three years ago today, obama care became law and republicans are still trying to kill it. what are the chances they can pull that off? irtually all your important legal matters in just minutes. protect your family... and launch your dreams. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. for tapping into areams. wealth of experience. for access to one of the top wealth management firms in the country. for a team of financial professi

candidates that we nominate that will determine what our platform s i can tell you as a board member of the acu is a diversity on a whole range of issues, one of the things realize you walk around here, greeted people watching and the panels are really interesting. and i think jimmy you just had on the previous segment had a very vigorous panel and is a very open and free discussion here and we are going to see what happens when it comes to how the american people embrace this issue and where they want to go. >> richard, speaking of changing stances, i want to talk about immigration here. florida senator marco rubio did not mention immigration. he didn't men it is at cpac. he didn't mention it in his gop response to the president's state of the union. who's really taking the lead on this issue for republicans >> this group meeting, a group in the senate and the house meeting with democrats to try to iron out some recommendation and seems like they are getting a lot closer than anybody would have forecast. might remind us on this gay marriage issue, it was not six months ago that the republican

repentance and abandoning the pratt this so there are is no eternal sin acus god will forgive us.on't know until jesus returns. and i also would like to say that i was thinking and i believe that it's possible that people come into this through the temptation and trying it and liking it and becoming addicted to it, just the same as alcohol and drugs are a being. i just feel that a lot of people have been misled and this is where i think our president got his last election was because he enticed these people that he would do these things for them so in a way he is responsible for some of the stuff that is happening now. >> host: mary thank you for calling in. mr. kraushaar? >> guest: it is remarkable when we talk about the evolution among democrats on gay marriage and it was president clinton who supported the defense of marriage act in 1996 and it was president obama who had it is part of his campaign platform opposed marriage in 2008 and vice president biden said during his 2012 campaign and obama to gradually come around to this position of supporting gay marriage. the speed in

acu 65, the newly founded demanded that lyndon johnson include an education tax credit in place of his education subsidy plan appeared conservatives knew that federal subsidies would not mean better education for our kids. we knew then, as we know now, that more parental control over education dollars is the answer. there is no longer a debate about whether federal education policy is working. more money goes in, and the results stay the same. it is not fair to tax payers. it is not fair to parents. and most importantly, it is not fair to the kids. today, to many of the most horrible children in our country are stuck in schools that do not work. the schools are too dangerous. they do not teach to grade level, and they are not preparing our kids for college or a better future. these kids and the unemployed, and a cycle of dependency, or, worse, and life of crime. it costs these children their future. we are losing them, to tragedy, and we have got to fix it. i told you about essence and milani in the new warrants. i want to tell you about joseph and rayshawn in washington. joseph is a c
