that's what happens in an ideal society that a government fears it citizenry. look at what happened when tyrants and kings abuse their power. look at the world and history and you can see what happened to kings. they see of rulers abuse power, they have something to fear. in a tyranny, the opposite happens. overtyranny, the people whom power is exercised fear the people who are exercising power. i think very much that is what has happened in the united states is the climate of fear that has been created and that is increasing, that is being bolstered all the time and has changed relationship between the citizenry and the government. i want to share an anecdote about when i first really realize this not in a theoretical way but a very visceral way and started thinking about it more. in january 2010, the first time i ever wrote about you organization wiki leaks, devoted to transparency and exposing secret government wrongdoing. january 2010 was a time when almost nobody had heard of wiki leaks, including me. the way that i came to learn about wiki leaks was that

of this going on can we -- yes, sir -- can we as a body of people here in san francisco county, citizenry, can we try to eminent domain of this particular piece of property? do we have a strong enough supervisor as we had formally at northeast -- in chinatown, can we get that kind of leg work going? i hope so, because this kind of timeline that they are trying to run over and over, i'm not too much in favor of. thank you, mark. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to make public comment on this item? being none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner low. >> we have shared the same goal with the developer is to build open space and provide new open space opportunities for what is the border of chinatown and the financial district, which is the densest area in the united states. so we do have the same goal. we just have to get to that finish line. i understand there is a 2001 planning motion, which exists. and which certain conditions should have been satisfied prior to issuance of the site permit. not pointing fingers of blame or who was right and who was wrong and who

citizenry. >> how would you answer the question. are we looking at one regional war or one war in tandem? >> all right. the conflict is raging in the middle east is multilayered. it's not just about the influence of regional powers, we have international community and world powers dealing with ideologies and interests in the middle east. what has happened, unfortunately, in the syrian conflict. it spilled over to neighbouring countries by humanitarian crisis or the rise of i.s.i.s. or d.a.e.s.h. when we talk about the battlefields or battle theatres that the countries and groups are fighting. they involve the bashar al-assad government fighting the opposition. at the same time you have a multitude of other more pressing rise of d.a.e.s.h. coming across the border that has sidelined the issue, and the importance of the syrian conflict within the country has become more of a regional pressing issue for the united states and allied forces, and ironically with iranian, fighting against i.s.i.s. it is more complex than what it was in the

that existed primarily to extract as much money as possible from the local citizenry. it worked in conjumpings with the local municipal courts. and so the department found that the police department was violating the constitution in numerous ways including stopping people without reasonable suspicion arresting people without probable cause, using unnecessary force, and then as -- and in charging people, giving people citations that in many cases were not warrented. but then adding citation upon citation upon citation. so somebody might be stopped for a traffic stop and end up with five separate citations. and this was all in an effort to enhance revenue. and we have the justice department found e-mails from the leadership of fergsop saying we have a revenue gap. so the police need to step up their enforcement of citations. so there was great pressure on the police to meet their quotas to bring in enough revenue to keep the city going. because this is the main source of the city's revenue. but what was truly stunning was the finding of racial discrimination. throughout

not responsible for preventing crime but maintaining their credibility with all segments of the citizenry. the objective of maintaining citizen trust and confidence means that the reabsences of citizens to the police is important to judging their effectiveness independent of their success in preventing and solving crimes. while citizens trust and confidence may facilitate police effectiveness in preventing crime, we treat trust and confidence as important in its own right because the overriding objective should be -- of policing should be a safe democratic society not a safe police state. in emphasizing the importance of citizen confidence and trust in the police, we are fully cognizant that police citizens encounter may be hostile through no part of the police officer. these encounters may involve people who have committed or in the process of committing crimes and may involve real threat to safety of police officers and innocent bystanders. however, even in these circumstances, the person responsible for hostile interaction does not forfeit his or her status as a citizen even if his or

you say, you are disdained by euro citizenry, and there seems to be just -- by your own citizenry, andre seems to be disconnect. it is a job where you make those kinds of calls. when you go through a community and the vast majority of the people -- this is a profession that is highly steeped in the country, there is a lot of reservoir of goodwill for police. cap into it and increase it -- tap into it. increase it. if some people selling drugs and shooting people, that is tough. if a large number of people in the community will not cooperate with you, see you and go the other way, who are doing nothing wrong, that is a failure and the police have to own that value. ylan: we received this question over e-mail -- how important do you think it is for these police forces to represent demographically the community? eugene o'donnell: i do not think there were any black police officers in ferguson. it was hard to recruit. something tells me, if you are police chief in america, and people respect the work you will do, you will did -- you will find a diverse group of people to come to work for y

sense that history of the civilization is one of greater freedom of more and more people into the citizenry first the women get to vote and then african americans get to vote and etc. etc.. in the theoretical sense of what conservatism is is drawing the line at today's extension and once that becomes taken for granted which collectively saying we were for that all along so increasing martin luther king, even embracing the right of women to vote although in coulter said maybe they should have taken away because that would be better for conservatism. [laughter] >> but this is what all conservatism bar across the country so they have to pay lipservice to the things that are taken for granted as a part of the american patrimony. so when this is a tribute to the markers for justice that we all celebrate and conservatism has these sorts of liberal rhetoric going on. in a book in the 1990s was called shadow liberalism so they were fighting to preserve social security, fighting for a great greater civil rights, etc.. which in the 1960s it was a communist plot for all time so that's kind of why you

president obama's target audience wasn't the american citizenry. his goal wasn't to inform or persuade the american public of his purpose. note instead he was addressing iranian president the supreme leader ayatollah khamenei and the people of the islamic republic of iran. >> i want to take this opportunity to speak directly to the people and leaders of iran. negotiations have made progress but gaps remain. people in both our countries and beyond oppose a diplomatic resolution. my message to you the people of iran is that together we have to speak up for the future we seek. neil: last week president obama said he was, quote embarrassed by the 47 republican senators who sent an open letter to the leadership of iran. now all he is appealing directly to the iranian people and again insulting republicans by trying to equate them with iranian hard-liners in tehran. it is enough to make almost anyone ask whether our president has developed something of an uncontrollable mass and the complex as he apparently believes his role is to build a consensus with

among the biggest, driving violence down, was reconciling the elements of the society, of the citizenryf iraq that had felt disenfranchised cast out. we reached out to that element we have done reconciliation before. we did it in the north when i was a vision commander. it was done again in 2004-2005 and it did not work. we were determined that this time it would work. we reached a number of agreements. brian lamb: you say in your book that he was interested in -- general bolger: david patraeus is the man of the match. he is the general most people identify with iraq and afghanistan. for all of his talents and skills, he was the commander of a surge in both countries that was temporary. he talks about the surge of ideas, and the ideas lasted. the sunnis are now with isis, not with the government in baghdad. they are struggling to get arab support. that surge worked. it started before general betray us -- david patraeus was there. it was underway before he took command. he jumpstarted and he deserves credit. that idea did not persist. they did not crest the baghdad government because it

and an important aspect is an engaged citizenry and the engaged citizenry needs to have unfiltered informationt comes to them and that is i think c-span is absolutely an important component of that in our democracy. okay. the civil rights act of 1964 obviously as you've heard and as you know the historic piece of legislation. as you heard it is not a fully transformational piece of legislation because it cannot by its own get us to full racial quality on any number of friends because i'm tell you engage with the economic issues in the country that won't happen. nevertheless it also plays its part if people can actually now get jobs get promoted in their jobs that will definitely make a difference in their economic status. it's also dynamic particularly as it is implemented by the equal employment opportunity commission, the commission which i serve and the commission that the congress specifically chose to set up a bipartisan commission when they passed the civil rights act they could have had the department of justice implement the law, the department of labor but instead they created a bipar

establishing jewish supremacy and subordination of the arab population to cotidify as second-class citizenry. they received a scant amount of government funding and are deprived as a result of that. so the issue is they don't believe them. as lee said actions speak louder than words and the actions have been quite deplorable. >> steven you don't think his comments on bussing arabs was racist? >> i don't. he was basically stating a fact. there was an effort to increase arab participation in the election and it worked. whether it's racist to target a group in a country, increased participation, is something for somebody else to address but what really matters is the vote counted and bibi's party came up on top. people have to figure out where they are going to go from here. in terms of actions speaking louder than words, there are a lot of actions that don't speak well of the intentions on the other side so you can piece. there's a lot of blame to go around on this. the question is is there really a desire an ability to deliver on both sides of this equation. >> 13 members of the knessed are g

and recognized there was a balance, the balance the need to be respected and also the need for the citizenry to be respected. the problem we're having that the dialogue breaks down the minute something says somebody says something they don't like. can i finish my sentence? >> we have to protect the police also. >> wemt the police to be respected and we want the police to be trusted and we also want the police to be trustworthy and one way that police can earn trust is that when things happens that are horrible tragedies, a young man who is not armed, losing his life. they speak to it as a tragedy. the community members need to say the police have a dangerous job. >> thank you. >> you do and my father was a police officer and he has a dangerous job. >> it is certainly a dangerous job. final word to you eugene. >> anybody who thinks don't think we have a serious problem. >> are they racial? >> unequivocally. no doubt about it. we also have serious crime problems. we have a nation that has a lot of guns and this conversation can dangerously create -- chief ramsey last week said he visited a cop

these processes showed the cuban citizenry that had limited isolation from alternative forms of news and perspectives not controlled by the communist state class or surveillance agencies in really surprising ways. to put it bluntly, a lot of people had not questioned the exile community and what the exiled experience was, the representation of the external reality to cuba suddenly came face-to-face with it in the form of their own family members and in many long conversations. so when they come to the united states in that context in 1980 were also very much a shock though the system in cuba and in the united states. but very different than cuban exiles. one thing, 25% of them at least self-identify as black or monongal versus 23% of exiles to the united states. they also came from largely working class backgrounds, a lot of them had benefitted from the revolution in other ways. they also did not necessarily see our own revolutionary policies were being bad or taboo. they were shocked to discover those were taboo subjects in miami to talk about the universal access through free healt

bill establishing jewish supremacy and the subordination of the arab population as a second-class citizenry in housing, education, in social services. they receive a scant amount of government funding and are deprived as a result of that. and so the issue is they don't believe him. >>> still to come here. the race for the white house now officially under way with one republican senator promising to bring conservative credentials to the race. >>> and a controversial figure speaking out. what george simmermanzimmerman has to say about president obama. progressive insurance here and i'm a box who thrives on the unexpected. ha-ha! shall we dine? [ chuckle ] you wouldn't expect an insurance company to show you their rates and their competitors' rates but that's precisely what we do. going up! nope, coming down. and if you switch to progressive today you could save an average of over 500 bucks. stop it. so call me today at the number below. or is it above? dismount! oh, and he sticks the landing! people with type 2 diabetes come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar ask your doctor

i think netenyahu is putting the israeli citizenry first. it's a preparous situation.t's a very dangerous neighborhood that israel is in. and israel and the united states have enjoyed a friendship over several decades, and i think that that relationship is stronger than ever and i think that we need to join forces. i personally am ashamed of the democratic senators who are going to be protesting and will not be there tomorrow. i think they should at ten. they might not agree with everything that netenyahu says but they should at least listen and learn. >> rabbi thank you very snuch. >> thank you. >>> the talks between u.s. and iran continued today. the secretary of state said today that he is worried that confidential details would be made public. israeli officials says netenyahu plans to bring up the negotiations in his speech tomorrow. kerry said public discuss of the talks could jeopardize the deal to keep nuclear weapons out of iran. >> right now no deal exists. no partial deal exists and unless iran is able to make the difficult decisions that will be required, th

when any aspect of our citizenry feels threatened that they're not being treated fairly.hat disrupts my ability to have that relationship and carry out the function of what i call relation nal policing. i think together we're going to try to figure out the answer to that question. i'm committed to this student body this community, to continue to have that discussion. i did meet with the chant president of the naacp. on wednesday or thursday afternoon. and then again on friday we met. we have had an e-mail exchange over the weekend. i'm committed to keep working with the students. >> let me ask you this. what needs to change? >> i think attitudes need to change. hearts need to change. this is a difficult discussion. an uncomfortable discussion as we all saw on friday afternoon with students that are hurt, angry, needing wanting, deserving of answers. we need to keep this discussion alive and well and law enforcement, frankly, needs to be reminded of the history of this country. the history of the aspect of race and the importance it plays in our history. we need to remind

. >> would it be more fair to the american people citizenry here if they started from scratch? be? >> i would say, yes it would be more fair. >> so we don't have to go through that ridiculous gesture. >> but the other side of it is that there are people who exist in the system who are paying into the tax system and not getting anything for it. >> but they're here legally. >> they're here legally. they are paying taxes out of their paychecks for various things even if they're not paying income tax. >> they shouldn't be paying taxes because they shouldn't be here. >> have a taxpayer id number. >> okay. if you're going to let them stay here, start from ground zero so we can do it in an orderly meticulous -- >> done. i'm glad we worked that out. next topic. >> google. another one of these cyberspace things, my name your name and all kinds of garbage comes up about us that's not true and any human being in the world. if you google somebody half of what you read three quarters of what you read won't be true. and google's actually upset about that right? >> i did some research by goog

. >> will he have argued for equality among the white citizenry or would he have included everybody? >> no, he wouldn't. >> the short answer on this as you know, is that for jefferson the idea of the way he thinks about slaves is as a captive nation, held unjustly, this is important. slaves don't deserve to be slaves, they're not naturally slaves, they are slaves because of -- what jefferson would like to blame george the third and his predecessors because we have them. but it is an evil institution, it's unjust. the solution is to end the state of war that is slavery. it is a state of war, it's a cold war of a violent coercive institution. his big concern about slavery is that young men in virginia will grow up in a world of slave holders and that will be their school. they don't have public schools in virginia in the antebellum period. instead they're going to learn to school slave holders. people as old as we are because of race privilege, because they're white, that's horrible. he needs to break this down. >> he would see a union down the road where black people would have been r

how could confederate the brought back into the citizenry? where and how would former slaves live and work? could bethey become citizens too? two days after lee's surrender lincoln addressed the crowd from a white house balcony. no one knew at the time that this would be his last speech. reflecting on the nation's reconstruction, lincoln stated that he would prefer -- in his word -- that voting right the extended to black men who were, in his words "very intelligent" and who "served our cause as soldiers." this irritated abolitionist. one of wrote in his diary "why can't he cut off the whole tree rather than love offb off branches?" this suggestion also struck lincoln's antagonist as too revolutionary. that is why one man decided to kill the president. according to his words "now, by god, i'll put him through." when put a shot into his head three nights later, it was good friday. that same day, someone attacked secretary william stewart in bed in washington. stewart lived, while news of lincoln's death spread across the nation and the world.

understand the transformation of society, including what i talked about at the end the activation of the citizenryans that things can't literally stay the same. you can't rule a country like egypt with indifferent authoritarianism the way mubarak did. it could change for the worse. there could be -- the evolution of this could be that the opposition to military rule becomes a dark and toxic hyper nationalist racist opposition and that the government stays in power through brutality locking up and killing people at a rate never before seen in egypt. egypt. that could be a worst-case scenario change, but it would mark a distinct change from the 60 year error that preceded the uprising. i think more reasonably what we can expect is -- i mean unprecedented levels of oppression today have not stopped politics from taking place and has not stopped people inside egypt from publicly opposing regimes. i was i was there ten days ago command people were telling me things with their name on the record that could get them thrown in prison. that is different from what existed previously. i agree with the pessim

because of the mike brown shooting and the doj, and the ferguson and everybody owes it to their own citizenryof us to say to ferguson, we are not going to allow this to continue. that is why i think that the ferguson police department should be reconstituted under doj supervision, not because every officer is bad, but because there is so little trust, and we have such an opportunity to say, look we found it in ferguson, and we know it exists in a thousand other towns in america, but we want to show you that when we find it in ferguson, and we can fix it, and five years from now, or three years from now, we can look back and say, ferguson is a police department that has respect and earned the respect of the community. if we don't do that, the frustration is going to continue and more ferguson and more problems. >> van, do you believe that the ferguson police department should be reconstituted and disbanded and have the st. louis county police patrol the streets? >> i do. and i also think that darren wilson's attorney does make a point that is worth hearing. by putting out both of the reports a

after an attack the government would be focused really demonstrating its capability to protect its citizenry. demonstrating it was still able to project power. these would likely result in very visible things from, you know airstrikes to building a diplomatic coalition. getting governments to issue statements in support of the united states. you know aggressive law enforcement actions things that are very visible but in fact these actions would be unlikely to result in the kind of changes that would be necessary to prevent a follow-on attack. that would be necessary to alter of the international security structure in a way that was required in sort after post-nuclear terrorism scenario. there would be a tension what would need to be done to satisfy immediate political necessities and requirements with what really you wanted to do to secure and maintain long-term strategic priorities? so these are a few of the questions in in the narrative of the book tries to delve into. i guess i will conclude with just saying a bit where the book came from. the book really came from one judgment and two qu

thereof show that this rule is not about protecting the environment or saving lives of the local citizenry, this proposal is about expanding the government's control into every aspect of american lives as m.i.t. climate scientist richard lind don't and he's one of the foremost climologyists in the country. controlling climate is a bureaucrat's dream. you control carbon you control life. epa's rush timeline in practical assumptions and arbitrary mandates pay no mind to the fact this will be damaging to state economies and local residents. their proposals are nothing more than blatant and selfish power grab. we have been through these arguments multiple times before most recently when the president failed to garner enough support for cap and trade under the democratic controlled house and senate. back when nancy pelosi was a majority and the white house and house and senate. couldn't get a majority vote in order to support this. so i appreciate very much all of the people coming so we can hear the voices from the states. and it's nights of you to take the time to be here. senator boxer. >> t

obama yourself for working to address this serious issue that impacts all of america, all of our citizenry and, indeed, everyone else around the globe. the clean power plan represents a significant opportunity to shift away from some of the dirtiest carbon-emitting energy sources that have contributed greatly to polluting the atmosphere to cleaner, more sustainable forms of energy that will help pull us back from the brink of disaster and send us on a more stable footing. madam administrator, i applaud epa for striking a flexible state based approach that provides states utilities, and grid operator with time and options for finding ways to reduce their co 2 emissions. i and also maintain affordable and reliable energy for consumers. i just want to thank you madam chairman, i look forward to engaging you during the questioning portion of today's hearing. i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you, mr. rush. i'd like that recognize the gentleman from illinois mr. shim kas, the chairman of the environment and economy subcommittee. >> thank you for recognizing me, i, too, want to welco

if you listen to the panel conversation, we need a citizenry, a electoral body that it thinking critically about who we are as a country. what have we achieved? what's the basis of our greatness? what are our interrupted dreams? what do we still need to work on? so many are rooted in illegitimate social hierarchy. we need people people to get to know people across the divisive lines. that's the way universities lead. to the extent they have a greek system, the greek system should be part of this project of educating people but also of breaking down these lines of division and i think that was one of the tragedies of the oklahoma event. rather than the greek system in a university breaking down unwarranted social divisions that are socially and democratically destructive, they were building them up and they were laughing and joking and partying essentially validating and legitimatizing the very social devices that universities should be breaking down. >> host: just so happens our next call comes from oklahoma. this is bob on the line. bob, where in oklahoma are you? >> caller: thank you. th

plus the full citizenry which is a level higher of democracy.but what we have here is not a level higher of democracy. it's giving this power to an unelected body of five people that -- could that body as it's constituted here, two of them are elect eded -- or selected by the majority party, two selected by the minority party. what if arizona decided all four would be selected by the majority party? >> justice scalia any delegation question -- the issue in this case is what does the word legislature mean? my friend concedes that whatever the legislature is it can delegate its authority. sought delegation questions -- i mean i'll endorse whatever i believe my friend would say because the arizona legislature has dell gate all manner of time, place and manner regulations to a single person. both the secretary of state and executive officer and the individual counties that set the precinct places the places where you can register et cetera. so delegation, i don't think is in this case. the question is what is the legislature? and if your question is

the country are making sure that they are not discriminating against any particular part of their citizenry. >> what's your take on the gop field? you worked for both president bushes. could you see yourself supporting jeb this time around? >> i always vote for the person i think is most qualified to be president of the united states of america. i know jeb bush very, very well. i think he's a very accomplished individual. and we'll see who else is going to be running, and i'll make my judgment based on what i think is best for the country. >> okay, so we'll cut back to you on that later on. but i do want to ask you one final question on this hillary clinton e-mail controversy which, of course put you back in the news a bit this week, as well. you were secretary of state during the early days of e-mails. you were one of the first secretaries, i believe to set up a personal e-mail account and pushed to modernize the state department system. based on your experience, what do you make of these revelations this week, and what would you recommend that she do now? >> i can't speak to mrs. clinton

these results show the role isn't about protecting the environment or saving lives of local citizenry. this is about expanding the government's control into every aspect of lives. richard linson is noted to be one of the foremost climatologists. he said controlling carbon is a dream. if you control carbon you control life. the mandates pay no mind to the fact this will be damaging to state economies and local residents. the proposals are nothing more than a selfish power grab. we have been through these arguments multiple times most recently when the president failed to garner enough support. we will talk about that when nancy pelosi was a majority so they had the white house and the senate. they couldn't get a majority vote to support this. i appreciate all the people coming. it's nice of you to take the time to be here. >> thanks so much. i want to welcome all of our witnesses. she is a legend in our state and has worked on the environment her whole adult life. she now is executive director of the air resources board. i am proud my home state has been a leader. we are prospering. we

the now that there is a such thing what about saying, ok, legislature means what everybody full citizenry, which is a level higher of democracy. but what we have here is not a level higher of democracy. it is giving this power to an unelected body of five people. as it is constituted here, two of them are elected or selected by the majority party and two selected by the minority party. what if they decided that all four would be elected by the majority party? waxman: any delegation question -- the issue in this case is what does legislature mean. my friend concedes that whatever the legislature is, it can delegate its authority. so the delegation questions, well, i will endorse whatever i believe my friend would say because the arizona legislature has delegated all time and place and manner of regulations to a single person of the secretary of state, an executive officer and the individual counties that set the precinct, places, the places where you can vote and register, etc. so the question is what is the legislature. if your question is, well, now we know there is something called an i

founded by men who were obsessed with how institutions could ensure a truly republican result the citizenry and the political class over generations has been decidedly disinterested in such questions. they hardly consider past institutional mistakes when designing new scrubbing structures and and almost unquestionably accept ad hoc structures whose providence is decidedly political. and people are too quick to blame personalities rather than institutional maladies when bad policy is produced. it has been didly unmadisonian, and the country has paid the price again and again in the form of political corruption most recently from the damage caused by fannie mae and freddie mac. thank you very much.
