>> you're an astute analyst of the entertainment industry. batman comes out tomorrow, right. is batman tomorrow or something like that? this is like huge. does everybody dress like a bat out there? what's going on? >> well, we dress like bats year around just in case a batman movie comes out. once in a while they'll release one on blu-ray and we'll want to be ready. it's insane to me because it's funny when people go have you seen the new batman, and i go wait a minute. let me get this -- let me guess here. this is the gay one who is super happy and minces about or is this the dark brooding not your father's batman? what? i'm shocked. the 40 something-year-old adult should not be talking about this movie with nearly as much fever and fervor as we do. >> but everybody -- i'd like to be batman. that would be fun. you don't have any speed limit, the batmobile goes wherever you want and you have cat woman. cat woman. now, i don't know whether you're old enough to remember julie nuwmar. i don't know whether hathaway, the new one, will be able to fill julie's paws as cat woman. >>

that's interesting as they're both astute analysts. talking voice believes obama would not carry one state that voted for john mccain last time around. therefore, mitt romney begins with 173 electoral votes. i also think the president will lose north carolina. that's 15 electoral votes. he'll lose new hampshire, four electoral votes, and indiana, le11let me torl votes. that brings romney up to 203, 270 to win. the governor is 67 electoral votes away if my analysis is correct. he can get 60 of those if he wins virginia, ohio, and florida. that would leave him just seven electoral votes from the presidency. you can see that mr. obama has very little margin of error. according to a poll by purple strategies, ohio, virginia, and florida are tied within the margin of error. as dick morris says when it's a tie, the challenger usually wins because undecides break against the guy they know best, in this case, the president. also the state of colorado with nine electoral votes is a tie as well. florida most likely to go to romney. the governor

but you know, as mike points astutely carter goes on these trips. he kind of goes off on his own. chris: he thought himself as better than the other presidents. >> he certainly would tell you that he's been a better ex-president, he said this, than the other presidents. in september he becomes the longest living ex-president in history. he's had to make a second career of something and he create this is job that no one else has. it becomes a model for bill clinton. >> fact when he went to north korea and went on cable television before reporting back to the national security council and the white house, the clintons were furious and then they set colin powell to haiti to baby sit him because they were afraid he was going to cut deals in haiti. >> when bill clinton was trying to figure out what he's going to do with in his post presidency, he modeled the bill clinton and all the things he was doing on jimmy carter. he's jimmy carter with a better touch in terms of domestic policy. chris: and much bigger in terms of the amplification that is huge. when we come back subsequent huge.

what obama did in unilaterally enacting the dream act, which congress rejected, was politically astute. it does not concern my colleagues here, but this is completely lawless. he said twice last year, in public, that doing it, exactly the way he did, would be unconstitutional because his job was to execute the laws. if congress had to enact them, it had not enacted it. nonetheless, the politics was a very smart. rubio was working on something like this that would have that support from both parties which would been a coup, but it is now a dead letter. romney was happy that at least health care really came down midweek and drowned the entire immigration discussion. >> both houses in congress stop -- in congress passed the dream act. it was stopped by a small group of mean-spirited republicans. >> a law that does not pass the senate is not a lot. -- not a law. >> you cannot say that contradicted. you cannot say that. the dream act was filibustered by a couple of republicans in the u.s. senate. the house passed it several times. have gotten his base back. they are morethe senate was pres

in this chamber, you all decided to reject the candidacy of a gentleman called bruce wolfe, a very astuteituent of san francisco. the result is that the sunshine task force mandates a seat to be filled by a person that is physically challenged, and this is the case. it has been a couple of months now we have not had the sunshine task force. some of you all care about it. you have not spoken about it. i came here to talk about representation. you cannot represent if you have no ethics, no morals, like the previous speaker was alluding to. we have -- i can i use the words, but i can write it. when i speak, i can i use the word, but i can use several words. i cannot use the words. you cannot address some so- called representatives by those words. it is an underlining come inferior type of behavior -- president chiu: thank you very much. >> did the bell ring? president chiu: yes, it did. thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello. i am colleen. i will be using the overhead. supervisor avalos, if you would please distribute the printout? i have come before this body an average of once a year

if he was more politically astute, for example, there is every reason to think we ended up like that. that bloody and disruptive war. i am not glad we are independent, but if is making analogies, certainly it doesn't -- there a lot of things wrong and they are not selected. one of the questions i have that we ought to spend much more time talking about is whatever you think the executive power means. for purposes of this panel, i am willing to defer with john. is the modern president likely to be somebody to whom we defer as much as we do cross the spectrum of say commander in chief, chief economist, chief public health officer of the country, chief disaster specialist. frankly it seems to me the answer is no. presidents of the united states are perhaps very extreme examples of not reds, but amateurs versus experts with regard to say the commander in chief power. the last president in whom i have genuine confidence to be commander in chief was eisenhower. that's no coincidence. he was the facto commander in chief of the greatest military defeat in history. frankly in spite of my own p

she is very astute. went to harvard unfortunately but not yale. we forgive her. anyway, she made a very fine point. thank you very much. >> thank you much. >> next speaker. >> yeah, i want to thank you all for staying up this late. it's been a long evening. i've been here since 4:00. as many of you have. my name is rich. i'm on the cysa youth board. i want to point ute few things that some people reiterated. the big thing of water, question save a lot of water. there are a lot of water projects in california. that's something to consider the leg say that you can leave if we had turf fields that you could save the state a lot of money. the other thing i want to bring out when we teach soccer referees, as they pointed out safety on the fields, i represent 12,000 referees from california north. and safety is the most important thing. i just want to reiterate one thing and you can think about safe fields. so fields are unsafe. i'm going to give something to the supervisors. we had to rent the fields. one of those fields was unsafe due to the golfers. i want you tulle

with that i'm going to yield to my colleague, the astute attorney prosecutor. >> i was hoping to keep that a secret. thank the gentlelady for ousting me as a lawyer. mr. wainstein, i want you to assume that you and another highly decorated former prosecution, former attorney general from the great state of california were appointed special counsel. you would subpoena the reporter and everyone in the situation room, right, before a grand jury? >> i have to go back. it sort of depends on the circumstances as to who would be in the zone of interest. it depends on where the source came from or leak came from. in terms of the reporter, i think special council, i believe they might not be encumbered by the same regulations. so they might be able to go ahead and subpoena the reporter. however, they are going to be sensitive to the first amendment concerns as well and i wouldn't be surprised if special counsel does exhaust other options -- >> that leads to my final question, which is this, why would the reporter be entitled to any more protection than those in the swas room or someone who wor

if he had been more politically astute and accepted edmund burke's advice, for example, there's every reason to think we would have ended up like canada rather than a very bloody and destructive war that got us our independence. i'm not saying that i'm not glad we're independent, but if one is making analogies then certainly it doesn't -- there's a lot of things wrong with monarchies. one of the questions that i have that i think we ought to spend much more time talking about is whatever you think the executive power means and say for purposes of this panel i'm willing to defer to john, whether i agree with him or not. is the modern president likely to be somebody to whom we defer as much as we do across the spectrum of say commander in chief, chief economist, chief public health officer of the country, chief disaster specialist. and frankly it seems to me that the 21st search the answer is no. that presidents of the united states are perhaps fairly extreme examples of not reds, but of amateurs versus experts. with regard to say the commander in chief power i think the last president

he was very astute in what he said. he was warm hearted and humorous. during world war ii when there were problems about prices and shortages he knew exactly what to say and when to say it. for example at one point he tried to stress the prices of things were not very high. just that you couldn't buy them at the wrong times and someone visited me who was a foreman in substantial trade. can you imagine a foreman at a factory coming to visit roosevelt at the white house? he came to me last january and said to me at my old lady is ready to hit me over the head with a dishpan. i said what is the trouble? the cost of living. i said what, for instance? last night i went home and the old lady said what is this? i went out to buy some asparagus and the see what i got? i got five sticks and that cost me $1 and a quarter. it is an outrage. when have you been buying asparagus in january? he said i never thought of that. i said tell that to the old lady with my compliments. someone at the press conference that was that the same guy who complained about the price of

a sudden, he's running in a general election against a professional group of people, against very astuteoliticians, against a chicago machine that did exactly what he did. >> he's not saying that. >> there's no policy that will give mitt romney any cover that says, here's my jobs plan. >> james, how about his other point, if you run and win a campaign, like this, there's no mandate coming out to help the middle class? >> i agree. i think, i do believe this is a 30-year problem that's been ongoing and i expect the president to actually talk about his next term and what he's going to do about the next term. and i think one of the big things that's happened in this campaign is kind of surprising, i'm a longtime reader of george will, he writes about the law of unintended consequences. we thought that it would help super pacs. the democratic super packs have been much better, they have driven the debate much more than the republican super pacs. whether that continues through october and november, i'm not willing to say, but as of july 15th it's the democratic super pacs that have driven this

so you constantly have to be re-evaluating that and the folks work in the housing areas are very astute at identifying problems early on and that's the key. you're dealing with a population that doesn't want to be there, they're not necessarily there with people they like, they're probably facing some very challenging times in their lives. >> the greatest challenge for many inmates in the orange county jail is uncertainty. unlike prison inmates, who have already been convicted and sentenced for crimes they have committed, most jail inmates stand charged with crimes, and are still working their cases through the court system. the process can take years. so some try to make their jail cells home. >> this is the living room right here. we keep the books and the magazines and trash. this is the kitchen where we eat and everything. this is the bathroom, the washing machine/shower, bird bath. >> with such close quarters, deputies constantly monitor inmates for signs of conflict. >> once you come inside, things are much more intense because you're not out on the streets. you can't be 20 miles

very astute observation. >> doocy breaks on top but don't panic he usually falls back.tion number two swimmer mark spitz. won a world record seven gold medals. >> this final victory spitz had broken every existing olympic record. >> spitz was an amazing talent. he also attributed some of his success to what he called his good luck piece. and what was that? the answer is, yes, his mustache. just like gracho marks. the same sort of situation except good groucho couldn't sw. >> maccallum thought he was cute i guess it was. 1936 summer olympics took place in berlin, germany with adolf hitler in attendance. jesse owens stole the show winning four gold medals. >> and the games are on. here in the semi final heat of the 100-meter dash catching blinding speed of jesse owens crack being the world record in the incredible time of 10/.2 seconds. >> all right when owens came home to the u.s.a. he claimed a u.s. president snubbed him by never congratulating him on his victory. what president was he referring to? >> f.d.r. >> what? >> yeah. isn't that interesting that allegation come

i admire the fact that you are aconstitute astute enough to go behind the scene.ow can you go there unless you have sales on every company including kohl's wal-mart and target. >> i think probably the biggest challenge that jc penney faces is that taking market share. i think ron mentioned this earlier on your show earlier, retraining the customer. you have a kemp very used to buying things at deep discounts and now they retrain the customer to buy things at lower but full price. i think over time it will work. i think the net result will be a much more stable gross margin line for the company. >> just give me one example of where you are able to rebrand a company of this size that has worked. >> i look at something like smaller company might follow is pier 1 imports. it was in a very difficult spot probably five or six years ago as it was competing aggressively against target and other home fashion retailers. a new ceo joined the company cutting a lot of expense and em we have seen solid comp store sales growth. another one was pet smart in the cross hairs of com

he's a political comedian and attorney and astute observer from the political left. so here we go.ements, his promises kept, does president obama deserve a second term? and before you answer that, we want to check our very -- this is an unscientific progress report, all right? on health care, love it or hate it, he did it. a thank you note to justice john roberts, of course, mr. president. on the economy, i have to say no. we're still stuck with high unemployment, slow growth and the stimulus bill didn't stimulate much according to some. so what do you think? can he run on that portion of his record? first, i go to the naysayer, i'm sure, crystal, who is here. >> no, the president does not deserve another term. an abysmal record. he's brought debt and division. >> listen, i didn't say. >> and high joblessness. >> i didn't say if you liked his achievement ors if you agreed with them. i said based on what he has accomplished without -- and that's hard for you to say on the right. >> what he's accomplished is obama care which is now a tax as chief justice roberts has told us. not only

the filter that the media is is something that a politician, a candidate has to be extremely astute in -- kind decimating that filter and getting through it so that -- the public has the correct information. >> sean: all right. the way i see tgovernor, tell me if you agree or disagree -- it seems that the president and his campaign have decided on three areas of attack. they are going to smear the words, quote, kill romney, is their strategy. smear romney. they are going to use class warfare. and the president also has now decided he wants this to be about taxes and it's joined with the class warfare issue. when you -- do you think the president has a chance, every democratic president that has won in the modern era -- bill clinton for example and president obama hid his radicalism in 2008. they didn't run hard left. do you think the president can win using class warfare? >> well, the more people that he has feeding out of his hands, the better it is for him, of course. and when you consider that 49-50% of americans are not paying taxes and they are reliant on the government for their

romney's changing views are neither sudden nor unexpected but astutely calculated by romney the businessmanrs he's targetin agent that very moment. but aren't all politicians marketing to the base? >> yes, they are. and don draper would be especially impressed with mitt romney from the "matd men." and it is each politician, the product is you. like in sales, you are selling yourself, and they do e vvolve d they do in time they will change. a lot of times for the better. but i just want people to look at the mitt romney's record and you have to understand if you want somebody who is an ideologue or someone who is more pragmatic. i think they mitt romney is pragmatic and if that is what you want, that is a good leader, but there are questions of the evolution on the key issues over ten years on abortion, gun control and health care and that makes you question the veracity that i raise. >> and i want to ask you about the talking points, but didn't he do just what john kerry did in 2004. >> yes, remember president john kerry? no, there is no president john kerry, because the flip-flopping label
