you look at all the city's and great cities it depend upon their citizenry to bring out the best of our resident to hear and be those effective conduits. i'm going to ask you to pay attention to the responsibility you occur in our bodies of work but pay attention to issues looish like affordability and housing and people being hurt or the folks on the streets or the need to produce a better health plan and health care. all the things that make our city great no matter if you sit on entertainment or arts paying attention to the quality of life for everyone is important. for me it's about collaborating and you be thinking freely. this need not be your issue but if you pay attention you'll find of the conduits whether you're fire or local business you'll find the conduits that make the collaboration better. thank you for thinking outside the box and thank you for being responsible citizens that take up the cause for all of us. let's go and precede and if i can i would like you all to stand. and when you raise our right hand i would like you to repeat individually each of our names and the

brighter i get to lead the city and a traffic internationally all over the world we have is strong citizenry that reflects our cultures. everyday i get to serve the city of this city but represent them in international settings pr i want to emphasis one greeting this year because i told anita elimination to do that. when you intermediate people in chinese greeting it is a prosperity greeting. sunny is happy new year and >> (speaking foreign language.) >> means good health but there's a phrase that people use and it's called. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> and i want to explain that because it's dragon and, of course, dollars celebratory zodiac animal and when people say this he two probable most popular zodiac symbols in the horoscope the dragon and horse are at peace with each other. that means this year it's going to be peaceful, hopefully, embraced time coordinators we're not going to get attracted like the year of the snake. that pulls you off course had you have the most popular the horse and droorlg i'm trying to make sure that all our communities are strong, all of our strengthens

ready when we have energy resources to be called upon in the form of an energy without power our citizenrys at risk and it's important to provide the necessary services and lastly work on climate change i've been engaged in this after will vice president allegory at the sun dance we've got a climate plan and we're making great progress and there's more we can do particularly the see level rise and concerned with the weather and patterns theirs more to do. we looked forward to participating we have a wonderful berkley staff they've been engaged and we're looking forward to work with people to not only learn bow to make our community stronger in the future. thank you for the opportunity to participate >> and now san francisco mayor ed lee. >> that's great to hear that. mayor bates >> thank you for joining us mayor quan as well thank you julth for introducing us and your leadership in the rockefeller foundation when you have the rockefeller foundation helping us to think about the investment it makes a change. about a decade ago mayor newsom at that early time dispatched me to new orleans we

an informed citizenry is important.t information about government surveillance of peaceful protesters, sfl of journalists, and information about some of the most pressing topics of our time. in a democracy this should not be too much to ask. >> but here is the point, as i said the kinds of information that we have been talking about tonight is the very category that this process really is ill suited to achieve. we are in the process of having a trial of the boston marathon bombers. the names of contacts associated with them, could lead in a whole number of areas and releasing information about that could be -- lead to jeopardizing. it is a very, very dangerous world that we live in. i would prefer senator feinstein, senator franken or other people concerned about these issues to look comprehensively at the kinds of information that is being held and make a change, make a demand externally on the system to release that. this says one individual, one american gets to decide what particular classified information they shou

memorial controls of our system but this gentleman sees our system as part of the fantastic of the citizenrycisco. wu you can't have a world-class city without a worldwide system. i would do anything for minimizing handsome and this is obviously he's had anything for us. but it gives me great, great honor to introduce the mayor of our city, mire ed lee (clapping) >> thank you very much and good morning, everyone i'll speak quickly before the next interlude. thank you richard for your expert leadership for the board. open occasion my. i've had a number of dinner meetings and they'll i couldn't me what's our passion and the things you have to get done. in any. what's on my mind was a lot of different problems. in the backdrop wove having had cutbacks from the state and that was already surging with governor brown's leadership but again the statistics with ron andcytes invited us to her house and we talked about that with friends. so rendering and i reviewed with the folks the statistics and we've gotten one big one was the improvements of our schools being the number one improvements last year

so if you were to default, citizenry will suffer equally. so it is far more palatable than in most other places. but right now, what you need to do is try to stimulate investment, try to stimulate wages. and there is a possibility now that he will succeed whereas two years ago that wouldn't have been the case. >> a lot of these government bonds are owned locally. which is why this current account deficit keeps getting bigger and bigger. but it is a ticking time bomb. idea of thehe whole modern economy is that whatever you borrow you never really expect [laughter] to have it paid back. [laughter] that is just a myth. >> that will be the first year that we have current accounts in negative territory. >> part of the reason that japan is reforming is that savings are now at a point that they are below the investment. as soon as you get to that point, you start generating trade deficits. that is a problem for china. theygs are so high that are committed to invest 40% of gdp nomad or what. so japan -- so china needs to lower the saving rate where

what this agency does it takes away the economic freedoms of the american citizenry to choose their ownages and their own credit cards. gerri: to your point, to your point, i understand the point you're making but, here's the question, so this, the idea for this agency and its ability to roll through congress and get approved by democrats was because of the mortgage meltdown. let's face it. that was the one product, one issue that convincdmost of congress we needed more contro. congress could have stopped that. congress could have stopped the mortgage meltdown. congress could have gotten involved and gotten in the way and put the brakes on but it didn't. so, i mean at the end of the day, doesn't congress have itself to blame for some of thes problems? >> well, washington, in general has to belamed. les facet. the great public policy crisis of the of our public policy lament of the financial crisis was not that washington failed to prevent the crisis. in many ways washington led us into the crisis. gerri: right. >> it was rules like the affordable housing goals of the government sponsore

president, you can't use the government to abuse the citizenry. >> well, the president says that theepublicans are fighting them every step of the way, all the votes in repeal in the house. i realize you are in the senate. they are not trying to help fix it and in essence republicans are part of the problem on this. disagree with the president on that. >> there hasn't been one will put forward to fix anything with obamacare. everything the democrats have said from the beginning of obamacare until now is our way or the highway. the president is unwilling to compromise on the debt ceiling. unwilling to compromise on obamacare. we had the government was shut down and we asked to delay the individual mandate. what was his response? absolutely no. i will not negotiate with republicans. so what did he do? a month after the shutdown, he delayed the individual mandate. so, he has shown his entrance general's. many of us have said we will work, even though i hate obamacare, i will vote for things to make it less bad. they haven't brought anything up. i don't think they will. >> is there any w

. >> we are trying to get a handle on what to make of essentially the citizenry of eastern and southern ukraine, particularly crimea in their posture toward the russian incursion and separate out propaganda from actual organic sentiment on the ground. what is your sense of how people there in crimea you're talking to are reacting? >> a lot of the people that i'm speaking to are the ones outside of ukrainian military facilities protest in support of russia, so they're very clearly in support of russia obviously because they're waving russian flags and saying so. it seems like a very highly organized effort, centrally organized and they're work in close coordination with the russian military, but i do think that there's a lot of people in crimea who have grievances toward kiev and have had them over the years and may actually be looking forward to joining russia. but i think that some of the -- it's the more radical thuggish elements who are the ones who are actually openly going into the streets and standing around buildings and harassing journalists and so forth. >> what is the media si

>> i tell you -- >> i'm not i'm not very good on how the citizenry responds to, quote, scandals.t happened in watergate is that as evidence became more and more undeniable that richard nixon had really presided over a criminal presidency and that it not only was about watergate but it was about a basic unconstitutional means of behavior, vengeance at his enemies, ordering break ins, fire bombings, saying terrible things on his tape recordings, as it became apparent to republicans that his conduct was indefensible, then this started to move and change and citizens along with it. to what extent i can tell how things work, that's part of the process. we've got a new equation, though, in our politics today that's very disturbing. and that is that more and more people are not open in this country to the best obtainable version of the truth. which really is what reporting is about, what good journalism is about, and instead -- >> do you mean close themselves off? >> let me finish. instead they're looking to cable news, looking to the web, to find information that girds and that support

say not only the idea that laws are being bought, but that it's a problem for our democracy if the citizenryppearance of improprie impropriety. this would seem to be exactly an example of that, whether or not you can prove it's a quid pro quo, there's obviously a stampede to go at internet gambling in a way many republican officials simply haven't ever cared about previously. >> yeah, absolutely. i think it's a perfect test case for how big money can influence politics. usually it's much more invisible. when the koch brothers give money, they go through a superpac. sheldon adelson is willing to write a check to candidates he supports which is pretty unprecedented. it's pretty transparent. it was so funny, when i was writing this story, this was sting that you can read between the lines and know this is happening, but literally an hour after i had filed my story, i heard that rick perry, who you know is running for president, had written a letter to leaders in congress trying to ban internet gambling. just, you know, he just happened to drop that this week. >> right. and that the governor of

resumes of the two candidates that either excites or disturbs the country's most politically sensitive citizenrybility of facing a november 20

resumes of the two candidates that either excites or disturbs the country's most politically sensitive citizenry. the plausibility of facing a november 2016 choice between the spouse of one recent president and the brother and son of two recent presidents. what will it look like to historians and those who read history, i have to wonder, to see such bunching of these familiar family names around the turn of the 21st century. was the country so enamor to have had clintons and the bushes as our country's top leaders that they couldn't quite resist them? well, enamored of course is not the general attitude. ask most people about bill clinton, for example, and you'll get a knowing smile that nose all, certainly expects all things about him and comes out in the main on his side. but let's face it, only in the main. when all facets are examined and added, ultimately and after reflection, yeah, he was a pretty good president, all considered. on the bushes, the need for reflective consent has taken longer. george sr. does incredibly well in recent polls. people seem to like his handling of the deficit,

most optimistic about is we're basically going to experience the most individually empowered global citizenry that the world has ever known. even a place like china can in china the world's most populous, repressive society you will have a billion people online in one decade in one country, it will never happen again. imagine how that ability to know what's happening in the city, to have access to the world's information, to have the opportunity to make choices. it's game changing. there are challenges as we talk about in the book but this notion a citizen will be more empowered with the choices and options than any other time in history has to be a huge benefit for the world. >> eric? >> when we started the book we didn't quite know how we would view sort of the future for the developing world. i can say that it worked on this now for three years we are very optimistic about the overall benefits of this technology. but especially for the developing world as well as the developed world. there are two areas on worried about. the first is the question of, and i'll pitch them as racist. the good

the thing i'm most excited about, we're going to experience the most individually-empowered global citizenry the world has ever known. even a place like china, in china, right, the world's most repressive society, you're going to have a billion people come online in one decade, many one country. it will happen one time, and it will never happen again. imagine how that ability to know what's happening in the cities, to have access to the world's information, to, you know, have the opportunity to make choices and decisions. it's game changing. now, there's challenges, as we talk about in the book, but this notion that a citizen is going to be more empowered with choices and options than at any other time in history has to be a huge benefit for the world. >> eric? pessimistic and optimistic. >> when jared and i started the book, we didn't know quite how we would view sort of the future for the developing world as well as the developed world. and i can say that having worked on this for now three years, we're very optimistic about the overall benefits of this technology, but especially for the d

they returned home from a war to a citizenry that showed a anchor and disrespect toward them.ater while driving one day i heard glen beck say he wished he could -- say he wished he could find a way to reach our troops during his rally for america event. he wished for tweet 2 way communication, an exchange during these rallies between our troops the college in iraq, afghanistan, europe and here at home but he said it would be too expensive. hey, folks, that was back in 2003. there was no skype, no facebook. cellphone bills were very expensive. but i am a ham radio operator. [applause] >> i had an idea how it could be done for free. so i pull over and called our local radio station. they laughed at my idea and hung up. but shortly they returned my call and wanted to know more. glenn beck held a rally in our town, one of the largest in the nation at the time. i introduced amateur radio communications to the event and we chatted live with the military during the rally. [applause] >> we had a mom in the crowd began a conversation with a soldier. to her surprise, that soldier turned

peoples, about other countries, if you have a free flow of information, you will lead to an informed citizenry, there will be pressure on legislatures, and you will have a flour you shoulding country. flourishing country. enormous promise of what news was meant to be. i'm not sure it's necessarily worked out that way. it seems nowadays that if you want to try and keep a population confused, supine, unsure of how to grasp ask change the status -- and change the status quo, you've got two options. the first option is what you might call the north korean option. you throttle news. you stop anyone getting any information. that's one way to keep the population confused. but the other way, of course, is far slier, far cleverer, much better if you want to keep things as they are. you flood people with news. so much news that no one can work out what on earth was happening last week. does anyone here remember what was on the news last week? of course you don't, no one does. because, very cleverly, it's not that we're kept in ignorance, it's that we are flood with information, so much information that

kind of obvious and open enunciated commitment is really important right now to give the afghan citizenry and elite and the region the sense that the west is going to be there for some. of time. we learned three lessons from the end of the soviet era. produced a military that was pretty since effective. -- effective. the intent had been that the soviets would remain for some. of time heading the mushu dean. the first thing to go were the advisers. even when they went, the afghan forces still acquitted themselves relatively well until the soviet union completely collapsed. that is when the resources and funded that were necessary when away. the is when we saw first collapse. we and so the civil war emerge. the chaos that emerged was the general departure of the west and the instability that we created. those were lessons from which we studied significantly and made recommendations to influence the outcome of the end of this year and the post 2014. that is the taliban and narrative, that they will be abandoned. we will provide for the development of the security forces. we will accomplish t

most optimistic about is the fact we are going to experience the most individually empowered global citizenry the world has every known. in china you will have a billion people coming online in one decade, in one country. imagine having access to the world's information and making changes. a citizen is going to be more empowered with options has to be a benefit. >> eric? >> when we started the book we didn't know how we would few the future for the developing and developed world and now we are optimistic about the benefits of for the society especially in the developing world. i am worried about two areas. the first, and i will pitch them as races. in a situation where the technology can be used to hurt people, it can allow for sail and damage. i worry about that. i worry that is a race and we don't fully under some of the platforms and implications of things we might be doing that might empower evil people. we have to thing about that. and the second is the jobs question. and that is the race between hum humans and computers. i am on the humans side here. they have to win. >> that is right.

i would like to ask you questions on both fronts, starting out with the citizenry at large. as you are aware, president obama' group for the intelligence community -- says that the bulk of data collected by the nsa should be held by a third party. the privacy and civil liberties oversight board has recommended ending the bulk data altogether. do you agree with either of these? >> in terms of pulling the data from the national security, there is a standard we could work to that would allow us to do that while still meeting the requirements of generating the intelligence that we need and ensuring protection of u.s. citizens. can you please repeat the second part? >> the privacy and civil liberties oversight board recommended limiting -- ending the data collection altogether. >> i think that we can do this in a way that will provide protection for the citizens and generate value. >> but you believe this should not be held by the u.s. government. president's the decision to shift that from the national security agency. >> if confirmed, what is the timetable for implementing that

when one of marches, the sitter is it -- the citizenry needs the wisdom to choose. he reminded us that it is a time for choosing. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. the more things change, the more they stay the same. it is amazing to see just how much things have not changed. reagan expresses concern that government taxes too much of our income, that government spends more than raises, that government is transforming into a welfare state and trapping of the poor, that government debt is skyrocketing, and the debt is held by foreign interests overseas, and we have enemies abroad that reject the moral foundations of our political order. sound familiar? the more things change, the more they stay the same. where do they? other speakers will focus on how similar our challenges and opportunities are to those of 50 years ago. i want to focus elsewhere. in the time i have, i want to point to three broad areas of concern that were not mentioned in reagan's original "time for choosing." newy, these issues create a time for choosing great while his speech was about a time fo

this delicate balance between the needs of the citizenry and the always creeping needs of the state isen for granted by those who would rather win a new cycle can provide bold and principled leadership -- than provide bold and principled leadership. [applause] let me share with you, if i may, my story. think about your priorities while you were growing up -- friends, sports, school, maybe a sweetheart. pledged allegiance to the flag every morning and traded sandwiches at lunch time. you thought about the future and what you wanted to be -- maybe a doctor, lawyer, car mechanic, sports star. there was no ceiling to the dreams you had for yourself. in 1950's, i was living in havana, cuba. our country was an ally of america, but undergoing a revolution led by fidel castro. as it unfolded, our family was the center of my life. we operated a family-owned business, went to church, celebrated holidays together. i went out to play sports with my friends and came back home to a loving home. and what felt like it -- and what felt like an instant, the life i loved in cuba turned into a nightmare a

starting out with the citizenry at large as you are aware, president obama's group on intelligence and communication technology has said that the metadata collected should be held by a third party. and the privacy and civil liberties oversight board has recommended ending the collection altogether. do you agree with either of these proposals? >> yes ideally there is a standard we can work towards that would enable us to do that while still meeting the requirements generating the evidence we need and ensuring the protection of the u.s. citizens. the civil liberties oversight board recommended ending the metadata collection altogether and i was asking if you agree on that recognition. >> we can still do this any way that ensures the protection of our citizens while also providing a value. >> that the information should not be followed by the u.s. government. is that correct? >> i supported the decision from the national security agency. >> and if confirmed, what would be the timetable for implementing that reform? bedecked to be honest i'm not sure. it will be driven by the solution that

been used to form a plot to destroy america's freedom and before i leave office, i must inform the citizenryf this flight. he was going to go all the way back to 1933 when we went off the gold standard. host: how does this tie to the budget? cannot place yourself into prosperity. pat, tennessee, democratic caller. caller: thank you for having me. i was glad to know that president obama is going to take some of the money back into medicare. he was taking a hundred something billion dollars out of medicare to cover this obama care. . i think people have forgotten about that. i will never vote for another democrat. they have torn this country up. i am 69 years old. i worked until i was 65 and had to quit because of health reasons. i would still be working if not for that. he is teaching our children that you do not have to work to get anything, that the government will pay for. live the most poverty circumstances? you have to have a job. i hate to see my money being wasted. the policies this resident has ,ut in and and acted -- enacted go back to the constitution and rita. the bill of read righ

this case this was a serious serious threat to russian national security and let alone the actual citizenry in ukraine and it just had it just had to happen i mean i don't see any other choice moscow could have done and retain any stretch of sovereignty you know sort of michael you know it let's let's speak about the sovereignty of ukraine i mean we have there's ample evidence that the united states and the european union were violating the sovereignty of ukraine it breaks the country we have we have the crimean saying that they will not be ruled by people that are ruling in a lot of them are very unsavory characters but nonetheless they're in cahoots with the e.u. i can understand international law but the west supports people when they want them to have self-determination why can't russia do the same thing. i don't accept that whole analysis i think what we saw in the ukraine was an indigenous phrasing against a president who had become deeply unpopular so deeply unpopular that he fled his country and you got her an interim president now until they can have some proper elections which the

believe the armed services is what makes our citizenry -- citizens say.private as is and they want to put up a neon sign that says no guns, they're saying come visit us. i do not mind if a private business was to have that policy. that is their business. i am worried about public spaces where they tell me i cannot go to a public space, that is where government makes the decision for me and for you that you cannot exercise your second amendment rights, which includes the right to self-defense. that is where i have the big problem, when government in prose as the gun free zones. those gun free zones. >> you have written about some of the worst atrocities happening out there. is something that liberal media president obama will say all the time. that is why this whole debate started a year ago after the horrible tragedy in newtown which all of us watched unfold on tv. we were all crying. it was the most were in the thing you can imagine. exploited that to launch a whole year to push gun control. fact,ill never say this mass shootings have not increased. the
