. >> i own and operate a business across the street from where jack spade is going to be called benny gold and i was on the fence for a long time about the jack spade situation until recently because 16th street is a lot different from the mission street neighborhood, we have two transit hotels, multiple liquor stores and just the nature of that block is getting really bad, every time i'm cleaning up human extrament, there's been a fatal shooting across the street so it's not like jack spade is going to a prime location, they're going into a neighborhood that needs repair, i hate to say it, i know a lot of people won't like to hear my point of view on it, but i think they should clean up the building. >> did you want to state your name. >> my name is benjamin and my business is benny gold. >> next speaker, please. >> hi there. my name's hailey kavliky, i'm a resident of san francisco for the last 11 years and i've managed a business for the last 6 years, the reason for the hearing today is not whether jack spade is formula retail and whether we should be granted a late appeal, i belie

children and sickened over three thousand six hundred people earlier today i was joined by phyllis bennis she is the director of the new internationalism project at the institute for policy studies and i started off by asking her whether the impassioned speeches by kerry and obama earlier this afternoon constituted a declaration of war. actually not i was afraid it might be that but i think they're actually being a bit cocky cautious seeing both the public opposition which is depending which poll you read somewhere between fifty to sixty to even almost close to seventy percent opposition at various points congressional unease because he's not consulting with congress and the international opposition with the brits pulling out so all of this i think is making the obama administration more cautious than they might have been the report that came out today is also not nearly as definitive as secretary kerry's passion would have indicated what they basically say is that they are confident they have high confidence that the syrian government carried out the attack that the possibility that it w

all the wise gals and -- guys and gals of detroit politic, say it's benny that pollian and mike duggenre the front-runners. of course mike duggen having to do this extra hurdle here trying to get on the ballot as a write-in candidate. then it will be a runoff of sorts in november. how did they do in the debate? what did you think of the two of them? >> well, this debate was i think probably one of the zooeyest things i'd ever done. it had 13 candidates added. i'm not sure any one candidate really stood out. which was kind of disappointing in a way. there's a new poll out that shows mike duggen at 40. napoleon at 30. i think many pundits think those will be the two that come out of this. although i think you're going to continue to see court challenges. this has been a hlitigious race. >> the other write-in candidate could cause chaos when they decide whether or not the mark duggan write-in names are allowed. if it compaes on this, that wou be -- there could be a racial split here. this is a -- do you expect, if it's a runoff between napoleon and duggan you'll see race play a bigger rol

i do find it interesting that myself, sunny moon, benny gold, carly lane, the majority of the businesses on 16th street support jack spade going in while the majority of businesses on valencia do not and as an owner of restaurants on both, i consider the neighborhoods completely different and 16th street needs help. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speak e please, and again if folks could come forward, that would be helpful, thanks. >> my name is erin fish can and a business owner on valencia corridor, this is an issue that people are very passionate about and at the very least, jack spade has circumnavigated this and a hearing is the least we should have. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> madam chairwoman, commissioners, thank you very much for taking the time to hearing our points of view today, i'll be brief, i'm jose seaway, i run a website that's an entertainment website here in san francisco and i'm a native san franciscan, i remember 40 years ago when i went to the mission, 16th and valencia area, one of my experiences was seeing a man chasing another fellow down the middle o

my name is benny gore. i live next door. i own a store across the street where jack spade is supposed to go. it's not prime location. i think a store like jack spade will help a lot. it's pretty gross, last week a homeless man walked into my store and accosted my employees and i -- constantly pick up feces and trash from the front of my store. i think it would help having them here. >> i live across the street on valencia between 18th and 19. i support jack spade going into the mission. it will benefit the 16th street corridor and provide a clean storefront. it will do so while operating with some of the existing laws in this city which is it's right. i feel it's what this opposition is looking for. they think it should be formula retail. their argument is based on concern what will happen in the future if they are allowed to create stores like jack spade. i understand their argument. my understanding concern about their large corporation about rents being driven up by the landlord and by employers not caring much because th

he landed on a bus benny. the driver is okay enough to wave down a cab. the bus stop is known to be a busy one. the police have not made any arrests. >>> you have seen a lot of strange things on new york subways. a dead shark spotted on a queen's bound train sparked a flurry of reaction on twitter. someone set-up a twitle handle. it coin sides with shark week. discovery channel denying any involvement. sounds shady, don't you think? >> no idea. >> a little active on the radar tonight. give you a quick check again. the bigger weather now rolling out of southern carol county into southern baltimore county. you'll here a rumble of thunder if you haven't heard it already. the outlook keeps the rain around through the concert tomorrow. most cases it won't be a steady rain. just showers. i think the party will go on and dryer by the end of the week. ready? happy birthday! it's a painting easel! the tide's coming in! this is my favorite one. it's upside down. oh, sorry.

benny, it will be tough but will it be impossible? is never impossible but it may not be too late but it could move in that direction if we continue in the same path we're on. jenna: if we're not looking to treaties or not look to agreements for example, to reduce arms, if that is not the path to go which is one of the things you argue in your column, what are the other options? >> in the case of iran the sanction regime has worked fairly well until now but it is not going to sop iran. what will stop iran is either that they will believe that the military threat against their nuclear program is valid and therefore they will change their calculations, or, working threaten to make it happen. jenna: you also point out, we talk about iran a lot going nuclear, being a major concern for our national security but one of the things that you have written about, it is not just quote, unquote our enemies that could be going nuclear but some of the countries we call our allies. that shift in dynamic is when we should closely pay attention to. why

to the rebel forces in syria i spoke to the director of the institute for policy studies phyllis bennis she says it's clear where those weapons would eventually end up if it happens. despite all of the assurances of the various representatives of the free syrian army or the national syrian council who say well we'll make sure they don't get in their hands because we'll keep receipts i'm sorry but receipts aren't going to make it when one force has the capacity militarily to overcome the other force they can't make that kind of a guarantee that they won't fall into those hands it's been true for quite a while that the most powerful militarily of the opposition forces have been the islamist forces allied consciously of their own choice with al-qaeda certainly there will be challenges for the west if there is another permanent stronghold of al qaeda someplace like syria and the danger of al qaeda or other unaccountable forces who have no commitment to international law getting control of weapons of mass destruction that may exist inside inside syria such as chemical weapons that would be d

currently mulling the option of sending arms supplies to opposition ranks middle east expert phyllis bennis says this clearly shows divisions within the obama administration well i think that his statement is very much tied to the debate that's underway within the administration on whether or not to send weapons to some factions within the rebel armies in syria there are many people people like myself and others who have no access to any of the classified information that michael morrell presumably has access to but where it's been clear that sending more weapons on both sides or on either side is going to make the situation worse and not better so i think there's been rumors that morale actually is that you posed to the emerging position of the administration which seems to be leaning more towards sending some kind of weapons and this probably was and was designed deliberately to undercut that position within the administration and shore up those who are saying no sending weapons is a really bad idea. well third time lucky or so the saying goes that may be the case for greece as another ba

benny and freddie are toast or are they president obama has outlined an exit strategy for the mortgage giants that by eighty percent of all new u.s. mortgage it while there's been talk in congress of an insurance giant alternative a code is there not to mention the most important player in the housing market the federal reserve is purchasing forty billion dollars a month of mortgage backed securities. he also said no more valves for fannie and freddie now we could agree more in the bail out front but there is a problem with getting rid of the existing system fannie and freddie are actually profitable no they recently remitted sixty six billion to the treasury which provoked a lawsuit so no shareholders one of the proverbial pie and this could drag on for years so as along as the g.s.t. is remain profitable it's going to be tough to shutter them in other words we need another financial crisis to get a new scheme in place that will inevitably contain a similar moral hazard sounds like a giant shell game i'll dig into the fine print of obama's housing plan in just a bit and continuing our

i was joined earlier by bill bennie he is a thirty two year veteran of the n.s.a. and he helped design some of the very programs that the n.s.a. still uses today despite before he turned into a whistleblower we started off by talking about the twenty eleven fice a court ruling that was recently published by the obama administration it is an attempt by the administration and the n.s.a. to prove that the n.s.a. quote lawfully operates and fixes mistakes when they are detected i asked binney if he thinks that that statement is true. no i basically believe all the fights court orders to do domestic spying are basically general general warrants and they're in violation of the constitution that is the right for privacy the fourth amendment principally but also the first amendment in terms of. by giving that data what that does it it tells them who's in who's associated with who internally in the united states that's that's violating the right of free association of the first amendment so when we have however on the other hand you have john bates the judge having this sca

leaving behind these ebullient things that she had sung early on-- the teddy wilson stuff and the bennynd turning to this darker, bleaker, more somber torch songy sorts of selections. and i think that's true. this song represents a fulcrum in her career. it's really a transitional moment when she starts to sing it. and gloomy sunday was supposedly also banned, but for very different reasons. i mean, gloomy sunday-- the so-called hungarian suicide song-- you know, i think that it was largely hype, but there were stories of people jumping out of windows after they heard it-- you know, distraught lovers whose despair was rekindled by hearing the song. i don't think those stories were true, necessarily. and certainly, it was a very different kind of song. the message was very different than strange fruit. you can imagine, though, the emotional toll of every night performing strange fruit and gloomy sunday. yeah, that's right, and then, you know, don't explain. there are a lot of other ones: you've changed. i mean, there's a limit to how many you can do, and she didn't always want to perform

well weapons that would be disastrous phyllis bennis they're up next cross-talk to pay double standards over nuclear threats i hope to see again half an hour with another news up. everyone respects a promise written in stone promises written on the internet well they're a bit more flexible and a lot easier to erase obama made a lot of promises as a candidate on his site change dot gov including some about protecting whistleblowers and obama said that we need to empower federal employees as watchdogs and that he would strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste fraud and abuse of authority and government but strangely and possibly coincidentally two days after the first revelation of government spying by stoughton these promises of the change dot gov site were taken down if this is not just some odd coincidence and they consciously chose to hide obama's campaign promises that this is political cowardice at its worst and what is even worse is that they didn't think that this would get exposed almost immediately if you try to conduct some sort of medieval book

or to sean thomas there for more let's not cross live to phyllis bennis she's director of the institute for policy studies written extensively on the middle east and the u.s. foreign policy joining us live from washington for us what a bomber he's really under public pressure and also his major allies the u.k. and nato. intervention at just how much that these factors impact on his decision to consult congress. i think it played a major role i think the fact he was prepared to go without a united nations resolution which of course would make any military strike illegal but he was counting on certainly the brits he was counting on the u.k. to come on board i think he was quite blindsided by that decision by the british parliament and then to find out that nato said no and that the arab league said no france isn't quite enough as an international ally i think all of that plus the fact that almost two hundred members of congress have signed letters in recent days demanding that there be some consultation with congress all of that pushed him to recognize that he could not just go ahead with
