all right let's wrap up with loose change dimitri co phoenix how many times you think you've been google dimitri shirtless. i hope money talks well. well boy i've got a story for you because this really shows where america's priorities are these days v.p. a presidential candidate paul ryan has been one of the top trending stories on google but it is not because of politics. people googling to paul ryan the new york times campaign blog says the term paul ryan shirtless is google that nine times more often that paul ryan budget. how is that for caring about the nation's finances in the grand plans in order to balance the budget but also i mean what's really special this happened when obama was president to that show the pictures from hawaii yeah he wanted to do that and like i don't really get it was the big deal about paul ryan's body i know this isn't a this isn't the thing that we're going for here but that just shows how much people don't care about the budget that paul ryan shirtless is that much more scintillating and you contend that i mean when he's like obviously not you know marg

much for being on the show for laying this all out he's co-managing member of ideas capital thank you. all right let's wrap up with loose change dimitri co phoenix that are they would not be complete without more discussion of central banks specifically the federal reserve so let's talk about a couple of little things that have come out so glenn hubbard which is the chief economic advisor to mitt romney or are maybe you know of him as the rudest interview in that movie inside job but nonetheless he is thrown around as as possible treasury secretary or federal reserve chairman and he said he'd rather be treasury secretary this is according to some sources familiar with his thinking that bloomberg reports and that he wants to be more involved in overhaul the tax code this is the architect of the bush tax cuts i should say to you. do you think. specifically glenn hubbard's history because i mean yeah he was part of the bush administration tax cuts but i don't really know you know i guess all these guys i don't think that they all i mean you know and they're giving up jobs right now so i don't know what glenn hubbard plans to do i

if you will, what are the lessons learned and changes implemented? >> this co., jpmorgan chase went through 2006-2012 and never lost money in a quarter. we did not need tarp. where were there for a lot of people who were not. hospitals, schools, businesses. we bought bear stearns at the request of the government and we bought washington mutual for ourselves at a tremendous cost that we did not pass on to other banks. we are pretty disciplined risktakers. there is a gap in the line. we screwed up. that quarter we made $5 billion. it was a stupid error. it's kind of embarrassing, personally. it will not sink our ship. we have $150 billion in capital. this will be a third year in a row to set a record year and that's our job. if an airplane crashes, do we stop flying all planes? if a drug does not work? the stock drug manufacturing? you have to be really careful about drawing conclusions which are not proper. it is a shareholder mistake that did not cost anybody money. that gap does not exist most other places and there were lessons learned. businesses make mistak

the sight of last night's debate, time magazine senior analyst, mark halperin, he's the co-author of game change and the forthcoming game change. mark, thanks for waking up early, my friend. >> i'm happy to be here. i have had it up to here with your mularkey, with all due respect. >> get off my lawn. >> yeah. >> let's get to your report card. paul ryan a b and joe biden a b-. here is the wisdom. democrats say joe biden was strong, he was the adult on stage. he stopped the bleeding, such that it was from last week's debate. for republicans paul ryan passed the can he be president threshold and joe biden was rude and arrogant. what say you? >> it's certainly the case. there were some democrats who conceded the point. that's why i gave the vice president a lower grade. the smiles, laughs, smirks. i don't think it changed anything about the race. i think that they both laid down the markers and, again, for their own parties, mostly. the vice president energizing democrats and for paul ryan showing people he was on that stage and not overrun. the vice president clearly dominated the proceedings. >>

change. he say's his co-workers in london repeatedly referred to their clients as "muppets"... >> ♪ the rainbow.and not in the kind-hearted way their "sesame street" creators intended. >> ♪ the dreamers and me. >> smith: in europe, a "muppet" is a term for someone you can manipulate, someone who is an idiot. >> cooper: so people at goldman sachs, who you worked with, used to call their clients idiots, essentially? >> smith: all... all the time. not to their face, but behind their back. >> cooper: you heard people you work with talk about overcharging clients, bragging about it? >> smith: within week one, i met a junior guy who was 24 or 25 years old, and the first thing he told me was he'd just traded a sophisticated derivative with a muppet client who paid the firm an extra million dollars because the client was so trusting that he didn't check the price with other banks. now, you could think to yourself, "is this some rogue guy who's just talking callously about clients?" but his boss, who's a managing director, was sitting right next to him, nodding and chuckling along and... >> cooper: the

they're trying to better co- ordinate their efforts, due to changing circumstances. >> we have noticed they show increased malaria in areas where there were no malaria initially. and this is where climate change concerns are currently, because malaria has been climbed up the highlands. >> in the tea growing region, the kenyan highlands, the nights are no longer cool enough to kill off the mosquitoes which transmit malaria. they breed rapidly at temperatures of 18 degrees celsius and higher. peter o nyabwengi contracted malaria and survived, as he was given medication right away. >> i was lucky. i'm not dead. that's why you are seeing me today! >> but he and his family have learned that, when it comes to malaria, you shouldn't just leave things to chance. peter's son now volunteers as a health worker. he visits waiting rooms in hospitals and informs people about the disease. he explains how people contract malaria, how to recognize the symptoms early and which medications help -- including preventative treatments. the volunteer tells them that mosquitoes only transmit malaria. the disea

>> by the way, can george custer change -- can he attack co-cheese after the battle?hen you lose, you lose, don't you? i think custer had a secret plan but we'll another whoa it was because he got massacred. just a thought. >> david axelrod said today that they made a strategic decision they weren't going to fact check mitt romney. mitt romney's entire campaign is based on mendacity. their convention was themed on a lie. might i submit to you that fact checking him might be the right way to go. >> i hate the word like to enter the discussion but so many things had nothing to do with mitt romney's reality. the president had opportunity after opportunity to go after romney on his policies, but he wasn't taking the bait. here are some issues he could have pounced on romney for. let's watch. >> i will not reduce the taxes paid by high income americans. with regards to young people coming along, i have got proposals to make sure medicare and social security are there for them without any question. number one, pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan. we've had 43

we learned a man who was believed to be a co-conspirator was areesed on unrelated changes. >>> they wasted no time firing back after the debate. one of the hottest topics, women. >> governor romney was asked a direct question about equal pay. he started talking about bind e ers. oh. the idea to go ask where a qualified woman was, he just should have come to my house. he didn't need a binder. >> i've got to tell you we don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented women. >> this president has failed america's women. they've suffered in terms of getting jobs. >> 26 million women are trapped in poverty. that's the highest rates in 17 years. >> well, the president and governor romney also traded jabs on future plans. >> governor romney says he has a plan to create 12 million new jobs in the next four years. "the washington post" called it a bait and switch. >> i think it's interesting that the president still doesn't have an agenda for a second term. i mean he's got to come up with that over this weekend. because there's only one debate left on monday. >> as predicted it

. >> but, again, it cos back to changing times.ding fathers would never have any reason at that time to consider a woman's right to keep a baby or to have an abortion. it wouldn't have even entered their minds, would it? >> i don't know why. why wouldn't it? >> because at the time -- >> they didn't have wives and daughters they cared about? >> they did, but it was not an issue that they would ever consider framing in the constitution. >> i don't -- >> women began to take charge in the last century of their lives and their rights and so on and began to fight for these. everybody believed that was the right thing to do, didn't they? i mean, why would you be instinctively against that? >> my view is, regardless of whether you think prohibiting abortion is good or whether you think prohibiting abortion is bad, regardless of how you come out on that, my only point is the constitution does not say anything about it. it leaves it up to democratic choice. some states prohibited it, some states didn't. what roe versus wade said was that no

. >> and with us now, mark halperin, co-author of the book game change. he's up early with us and this morning we'll stand a little closer than we did yesterday, make it a more intimate affair. let's look right away at your report card. president obama gets a b minus from mark halperin, a c for mitt romney. explain the grades. >> this debate was the biggest rorschach test i've seen since doing these grades. you have people including focus groups and polls that go one way, go the other. i think part of my grades are based on performance, part based on how it affects the race and the chances the person has of winning the contest. i thought governor romney lost for two reasons. one is the libya exchange. i think that was an issue where he thought he'd be on offense. i thought his answer was weak. the president's was very strong. the other main reason is what has mitt romney's problem in this campaign all along some when someone gets inside his head, when someone connects his policy proposals with his personal background, when someone says you're a rich guy,

if you will, what are the lessons learned and changes implemented? >> this co., jpmorgan chase went through 2006-2012 and never lost money in a quarter. we did not need tarp. where were there for a lot of people who were not. hospitals, schools, businesses. we bought bear stearns at the request of the government and we bought washington mutual for ourselves at a tremendous cost that we did not pass on to other banks. we are pretty disciplined risktakers. there is a gap in the line. we screwed up. that quarter we made $5 billion. it was a stupid error. it's kind of embarrassing, personally. it will not sink our ship. we have $150 billion in capital. this will be a third year in a row to set a record year and that's our job. if an airplane crashes, do we stop flying all planes? if a drug does not work? the stock drug manufacturing? you have to be really careful about drawing conclusions which are not proper. it is a shareholder mistake that did not cost anybody money. that gap does not exist most other places and there were lessons learned. businesses make mistak

reason that we are here is that this change was actually supposed to be made in an earlier version of the legislation which was actually the main reason that we had been co-sponsors of the original legislation but unbeknowns to us and without consultation with my office at the planning commission, there was a change that was made that actually took this piece out of the original legislation. and so this portion that was supposed to be included was removed from the original legislation and that happened even though not only were we supporting this change but also supervisors president chiu, supervisors olague were actually in agreement with us and wapted to see this change be made. so i will now hope that you can support our request that you split the file and that you move and there is minutes per person. there is a small buzzer or ding that goes off with 30 seconds to go. >> so we need the microphone on. >> it's not on? >> there we go. this is my second time before this committee. i want to thank you for considering this new piece of legislation which actually it was a lot of questions why the mission district was left out from the legislation originall

presidential debate with the national affairs editor for new york magazine and co-author of the best selling text "game change." we are glad you have joined us. a conversation coming out right now. >> there is a saying that dr. king had said, there is always the right time to do the right thing. i just try to live my life every day by doing the right thing. we know that we are only about halfway to completely eliminate hunger and we have work to do. walmart committed $2 billion to fighting hunger in the u.s. as we work together, we can stamp hunger out. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. tavis: job as the national affairs editor for new york magazine and a political analyst for msn bc. he wrote the best-selling book "game change. his election issue of new york magazine is on newsstands and he joins us tonight from new york. thank you for coming back. >> i am happy to be here. tavis: glad to have you. let me start with the obvious. tomorrow is a big night for the president. i suspect the format of this town hall set up that is very different from mano a mano might pla

for romney, who has co-opted the president's change slogan from four years ago -- >> what this requireschange. >> reporter: -- it's a different audience. the governor leads among white men, 66% to 32%. and he leads in most national polls. while the president has a slight lead in many of the battleground states. ♪ signed, sealed, delivered i'm yours ♪ >> reporter: that's left both campaigns feeling confident they have the voters, the ground game to bring home a victory. >> somebody is going to be wrong on november 7th. so, very different assumptions that these campaigns have about the kinds of people who are going to turn out to vote. >> reporter: how close is this election? the campaigns are searching for those undecided voters any way they can. one ohio voter wrote on facebook, that on friday, ann romney called him to wish him a happy birthday. she seemed like a nice lady, he wrote. michelle never took the time. back to sandy, now. there's a chance this could take the president off the campaign trail if it becomes a devastating storm on the east coast. it shows how important some of th

we look at what's changed and the thicket of questions it raises. doctor eric widra co committee that made the recommendation change. he's with the shady grove fertility center. and marcy darnovsky is the associate executive director of the center for genetics and society in berkeley, california. welcome, both of you, dr. wid ra-- widra, beginning with you, on what basis did your group, your committee conclude that this shouldn't be considered experimental any more. that it works as well as using fresh eggs. >> there's been a fair amount of pressure from patients and practitioners over the last years to remove this label of experimental from egg-freezing and thank youing, but there has been very little data published comparing the technique using frozen eggs and fresh eggs and looking at the outcome of the pregnancies. in the last several years there have been studies inly out of europe but some in the the u.s. as well showing near equivalent from fresh eggs from younger woman and frozen eggs in terms of establishing pregnancies and a large series looking at the outcome

every one of our colleagues on the board that is here today will add their name as co-sponsors to join the campaign to change that. the rest i'll submit. >> thank you, supervisor olague. supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. good afternoon, san francisco. and colleague. i'll be brief today. today i'm introducing a resolution for the board to consider next week recognizing the 40th anniversary of the clean water act and our city's implementation of its federal regulation. as a result of this landmark legislation, our city public utility commission became the first in the country to implement a combined sewer system, 40 years later we begin renovation of the system. i think it is appropriate for us to reflect on how transformative the clean water act was on our system and the tremendous work being done by the puc to implement these regulations and ensure that our water systems are some of the most advanced in the country. and the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor wiener. >> thank you, madam clerk. today i am introducing a resolution -- today i am introducing a resolution

if we take your advice with respect to how we change our tax cos so companies earn profits overseas don'tcompared to companies here that are paying taxes, that's estimated to create 800,000 jobs. the problem is they won't be here, they'll be in place likes china. and if we're not making investments in education and basic research, which is not something that the private sector is doing at a sufficient pace right now, and has never done, then we will lose the lead in things like clean energy technology. now, with respect to what we've done with china already, u.s. exports have doubled since i came into office to china, and actually currencies are at their most advantageous point for u.s. exporters since 1993. we absolutely have to make more progress and that's why we're going to keep on pressing. when it comes to our military and chinese security, part of the reason that we are able to pivot to the asia pacific region after having ended the war in iraq and transitioning out of afghanistan is precisely because this is going to be a massive growth area in the future. and we believe china can

romney's running mate, paul ryan, co-sponsored legislation to change the definition of rape in abortion cases. the republican national convention included language in the party platform, identical to mourdock's definition. we support a human life amendment to the constitution and endorse legislation to make sure that the 14th's amendments protections apply to unborn children. there's also romney's own words. in an op-ed called "my pro-life pledge," romney called roe versus wade bad law and bad medicine and a misguided ruling. romney told mike huckabee he wants the ruling overturned and wants the constitution changed. >> would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception? >> absolutely. >> take the republican party at its word. they say they will legislate their morality and their faith on the american people, if they have the chance. i think you ought to believe them. compare this with the position articulated by the vice president of the united states, joe biden, during his recent debate with paul ryan. >> my religion

reason that we are here is that this change was actually supposed to be made in an earlier version of the legislation which was actually the main reason that we had been co-sponsors of the original legislation but unbeknowns to us and without consultation with my office at the planning commission, there was a change that was made that actually took this piece out of the original legislation. and so this portion that was supposed to be included was removed from the original legislation and that happened even though not only were we supporting this change but also supervisors president chiu, supervisors olague were actually in agreement with
