second, we are simple commerce company. neversiness model works sharing your data with anyone except you and the person you bought it from. we are not an ad model. we are not a social model. we have questions of what should be shared and what should not. in the core business model, the data in our business is relevant. there's no reason why when you type in something on an ebay search that we should give you the same results that we give rebecca when she types in the same thing. we know what your purchase history is. we should give you a better experience today based on what you have done historically. we will not share that. we will not share your data with anyone else. i think there is a lot of opportunity to use big data to have a more customized and personalized experience. if you choose to share it with others, that can make it even better. as i said earlier in the broader topic and there needs to be a dialogue around privacy. we need a proactive one now than have regulation down the road. all it will do is trigger the

we have david and steve delbianco, a group that protects online commerce. steve, let me begin with you, why do you oppose the legislation. >> fairness has lost all meaning in this town. i mean, how can it be fair when you force businesses in all 50 states to face audits, tax demands and tax collectors in 40 different states, it's becoming a burden and a barrier on businesses that want to reach customers all around the country. >> david? what is your response? >> i think steve's fair is off. fair is when the corner store competes fairly with some electronic commerce seller from another state who is competing for the same customer. both should be able to compete on an even ground. that is fair. >> why do companies such as amazon and walmart support it when they do a lot of online commerce? >> that is easy. it's ridiculous to say that the internet does not subject itself to sales taxes. 19 of the top between e retailers collect for all the states with a sales tax and amazon will collect for over half the population under current law. e-commerce is subject to h

this is e-commerce flash sales site where there is merchandise 40% off. >> yes.merce in china is taking off rapidly but it has been very difficult to play. i think one of the reasons why it is difficult to play, it is difficult to find a company growing in terms of e-commerce but is also profitable. vip shops is selling winter coats at 40 to 50% discount. it is all branded stuff. they will send out a flash sale, winter coats who% off for the past two days. we've seen tremendous growth. liz: this is up 267% over the past year and has a billion market cap. >> i think what was interesting this was an ipo came and nobody wanted to pay attention to it. at the same time the company was growing, 100, 200%. we're projecting 100% top line this year, greater than 100% bottom line. we think this is an interesting way to tap into the burgeoning consumption going on in china and way to play e-commerce. liz: dumb question i think you believe that kind of growth will be mimicked next year or slightly lower? >> i think we'll see 100% type growth this year in 2013 and i think we

it is commerce clause jurisdiction. the ability to apply it and not violate the interstate commerce clause. and so i think that we need to be very careful about our termination. i yield the floor. mr. alexander: mr. president, i hai'd like to engage the senar from north dakota, if i may, for consent to enfaith in a colloquy for a few minutes on the subject, so that we may speak through the chair to each other. does the senator -- you the presiding officer: does the senator from north dakota agree? without objection. mr. alexander: thank you. the senator from montana has raised a good question about audits. and the bill, the marketplace fairness act that we're -- well, let me say to the senator from north dakota, what i'm -- what i want to paint a picture of here -- and i would like to ask the senator from north dakota to help me because she -- she may be one of the newer members of this body, but she knows more about this subject than most of us put together because of her experience. with all respect to all the senator

so we do -- i think most businesses it's almost for those that deal in any kind of commerce having an on site -- an online to be be able to exchange money is something that most businesses have. while we as government may not be able to say these are the best types of means of business able to take payments and how do handle that, that's kind of where we might defer to there are classes at the sba that provide that kind of information, but we can't do that kind of advisement but to point them in the direction for them to get that information to figure it out. >> thank you. >> any other questions? comments? >> i had a comment. i really commend you working with the elected officialos the state level to overcome particular problems with the government id and the permitting process so i encourage that in anything that we could do because although we're not overtly political we do in our individual capacities have access to our elected officials at the state level and federal level so thank you. >> and i will definitely keep that in mind. >> any other? okay. great. before we head on to the

they know that north korea's stability as it exists relies on their trade and commerce. we've had an economic embargo against north korea for 60 years. they do everything we can to

i think commerce depends on it and i think people depend on it. nancy said it very well but let me just say what the ridership is expected to be. when this central subway opens in 2019 daily ridership along the third street line is estimated to be 43,700. this is expected to rise to 65,000 people per day in 2030. this project is estimated to have the second highest ridership per mile of all subway and light rail proposals seeking federal funding nationwide, and it will be the most happily used muni line. that's the rational for this project. no question it's expensive. it's worth it if people use it. it's worth it if they stay out of the automobile. it's worth it if it aids in creating space on our bus lines so it's a very important project. i am here to help in my way which is as an appropriator in the senate. jackie has helped in her way. nancy has helped in her way as a leader of a great political party in washington, so mr. secretary everybody that is here we thank you for our responsiveness. it's just great to welcome you here and go giants.

we need to support the chamber of commerce in this effort and that's what we're going to do. [applause] >> our next subject is the port. i want to talk about the port of charleston a little bit, such an important issue to so many people that depend on it. the port of charleston has been named a priority to the president's budget. both of you said it is critical to the state's economic future. how would you convince a congressman from iowa, some other place in the country, to vote in favor of funding the deepening of the port. we'll start with you, mr. colbert busch. >> very happy to answer this question after 20 years with the maritime industry. this port is a huge economic engine for this state and is a huge economic engine for the country. we're getting ready to open the pan malkinal and these ships will come through that have to go to a natural deep seaport that can take the ships and we have to be prepared. we have to make sure we dredge and make sure our infrastructure is in place. what we want to do is convince our colleagues that this is important to us as a country an

it has been part of the port since its inception that is how we ate, and how we did commerce and how we paid for the fish we ate with gold but nonetheless we subsifted on fish and the agriculture that was born around the bay and san francisco to feed the miners who were farmers and to create a new economy for san francisco and haven't we brilliantly and completely made new economies and so many knew that we have to name the latest new economy of the economy of invention and creativity and isn't that what we were doing in the gold rush and so it was stunning to be here with all of you who have made this possible. in 1900, the community worked with us to move up here in this area of a water front, and more of a lagoon area where we could congregate better and save the area where fisherman's wharf had been for the commerce that was needed to sustain our city. as the most of the logistics changed and as the needs changed as a community it was fisherman's wharf that helped us to envision what could be the future. in almost 50 years ago, the discussions began, how to enlifen our water fron

his commerce there yet? no. -- is commerce there yet? no. will they get their? it will be difficult. >> is sequestration with us through spring and summer and into the next fiscal year yucca >> i am not -- into the next fixe full-year? >> i am not a prognosticator. it is not like 2013. 2014,tration kicks in in 2015, and 20 16. it is a horrible idea. it was only done because the republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling. it was a last ditch effort to put something on the table. one that would stop us from going over that fiscal live, not raising the debt ceiling, not paying our bills. it was put in place as a desperation measure. and now here it is, basically torturing our economy, undermining the ability of the government to function, and we are doing nothing to deal with the deficit and the debt that it is supposed to force action on. we want to act on taxes and mandatory spending programs. i am all for it. but torturing the discretionary portion of the budget as a threat to force us to act on taxes and mandatory spending, clearly it does not work. so let's

and the state department bureaus that have equities will look at commerce and opinion.eventually would like to get tracing the lives. so in terms of other countries, these various non-proliferation including the agreement among countries. my doesn't handle it. it's a non-proliferation were they talk about items that we send delegations to an annual meeting, where they talk about the appropriate level of control for various dual use items that have both a military application in a commercial application. because they banned the military operation, we bought more stingier control can be installed anywhere to anyone. >> thank you. congratulations on your accomplishment. you talk about the review of conventional arms sales and transfer policy. i would like you pleased me an asset today on the review by congress of major arms sales. back in the 70s, it was deeply involved in the legislation, which got embedded in the law, which requires major arms sales be reported to congress for a period of review. how is that working? does that part of your updating feature perspective th

penny pritzker, long-time friend will be named as commerce chair david asman is with me. popping in both directions. liz: go to nicole right now. it has been amazing last hour here but jcpenney in particular popping as it gets a nod from billionaire george soros. >> that's right. there are a couple headlines from jcpenney we're watching going into the close. it is up 11 1/2%. george soros, 7.9% stake revealed in regula filing. coupled with chatter there may be financing being prepared for goldman sachs for jcpenney that is help being to move this market. david: on the other hand which had am none. -- amazon. we had an idea it going up and down after reporting earning yesterday but done nothing but going down today. >> when you talk about the growth concerns and outlook that hit amazon. as a result that is under pressure much like starbucks. liz: after a run-up of 15%. 15% move. cliff natural resources is falling. a struggle bell for this company. >> cliff natural resourceeen sue stock. they had a big jump yesterday pulling back 4%. we'll keep an eye also on apple as we go

last year we couldn't believe it that the citizens of san francisco polled by the chamber of commerce saw the san francisco police department, the men and women of the san francisco police department, 72 percent positive and 18 percent negative which was a record for the police department at the time and this year's results came out and i think largely because of all these efforts that the officers are doing even though they are shorthanded and the number they are posting, they posted another record of 76 percent of a disapproval rating of 16 percent. i couldn't be prouder as the chief of this department and appreciate the support of the commission and probably even more than that the citizens of the district and much appreciated. >> thank you, any questions for the chief? >> chief, thank you for your report. it's great that you are going to double jobs for the youth this summer. we know you are watching. what kind of jobs for example did the youth do last summer that might be available this summer? >> we are trying to get the kids do things they like to do. it's like life. if you sta

and the commerce advisory committee. and of course all of you who i hope are not just only san francisco giant fans but fans of home-made beer here in san francisco. and it's my great honor to introduce entrepreneurial spirit. mr. gregor was born and raised in the united kingdom. he then moved to singapore at the age of nine. he's lived in amazing cities around the world. so he brings with him an international spirit. but also a passion for san francisco. he and his partner, tony foglio are known for building up the best brands and keeping them both emerging but honoring their roots. so i can't think of a better tenant and partner for this historic pier 48 than anchor brewers and distillers. join me in welcoming keith gregor. [applause] >> thank you. is everyone warm enough? this is great weather for making beer. anchor is one of america's oldest breweries. with origins back to the gold rush. by 1896 the famous brand emer emerged. a real san francisco icon and only 118 years old at the moment. not that many years pass ea

it is a deal struck the twin the afl-cio and the chamber of commerce. we will be hearing more about it in the coming weeks. coming up next on "washington journal" this morning, the faa plans to close more than 100 and 40 airport control tower's of sequestration. we will hear about the impact from the former rector general for the transportation department. later on, what the federal health-care law will mean for insurance premiums. we will be right back. on first ladies, anna harrison, whose husband william henry harrison, who died the first month in office. julia tyler who becomes resident tyler second wife. >> i think of her as the madonna of first ladies. she loved the publicity. she actually posed as a model at a time when that was, needless to say, frowned upon. she was known as the rows of long island. by all accounts was bewitching. certainly bewitched 57-year-old john tyler. who married her. and she loved being first lady. she had the job for less than a year. it was she who ordered the marine band to play hail to the chief whenever the presiden

at what cost at your commerce? they'll respond to the public. they'll do what you tell them to do. but as a citizen, my judgment is that's about where we want it to be. if you push this down much further, we do what i said we haven't done today, which is we begin to change our dna as a free people. now, free the dark side of that is, as i said before, this is penalty kicks. this is going to happen. this is a level of risk that i'm very disappointed to say we're probably going to have to live with. >> when you look at the situation of the older brother going to chechnya, russidagesta anything done differently? >> you look back and even those sympathetic will say, i wonder if, could we have done that? but let me give you a couple factors. how many tips do you get in a week? the answer is, you get an awful lot. and, now, this one came apparently from the fsb, from the russian service. fareed, as you know, not all of them are terrorists and not many of them are dangerous to the united states. so, you've got that factor. and then the travel to dagestan probably wasn't the alerting thing

he represented for many time of commerce whatsoever. it was punishable by execution. so you see the whole business, you can imagine, putting together a revolution in a place that is so isolated by its colonial power was a very difficult thing. this is what bolivar came up against. it wasn't automatic that countries would welcome to liberate them, even though they wanted to deliberate. it wasn't automatic the races would all play a part. in fact, the races kept shifting. in the beginning, the black sun homed so much of the revolution depended for aligning themselves because they knew what that meant. they didn't know what the revolution would ring. feeling that they are to be the evil existed in the colonial system, they could do with that. but they didn't know what was coming with the white aristocrats of latin america. so there are very hesitant. it wasn't until simon bolivar had been exiled for the second time because the resolution kept failing the republic. each are public that was set up first who himself is a tremendously marvelous romantic story fell apart. the

second, adding the financial component, making transactions which we have built into the mobile commerce platform with the hierarchical structure from the top down, enabling the city to actually manage all of their own financial transactions. from ticketing, reservations, permitting, just about every component you can think of, of interacting with the city as a business itself, which most people -- which is kind of a big differentiation factor in developing this. so, as far as creating access to the public, using the open data sets, and creating exposure to neighborhoods that you probably traditionally didn't even think were there, we realized there were 1200 different facilities all through the park -- all through the city as we were going out to explore. and upon our own discovery, and i being a local native, i didn't know about 800 of them. so, as we move forward into the future, taking this, working with some other departments like san francisco arts, we're creating access for people, creating efficiency with the government being able to manage transactions, creating a platform for p

on friday the commerce department said gdp grew by an annual rate of 2.5% in the first three months of the year, perspectiv 3% and higher to signal a real recovery. nevertheless, the 2.5% number looks especially good compared to a meesly growth the america witnessed in the previous quarter, 0.4 in the final three months of 2012. time to break out the champagne? maybe not. we're already seeing slower retail sales drop, growth in manufacturing output that can all point to slower economic growth in the second quarter. when you factor in the effects that higher hey roll taxes could have on consumer spending and the sequester, what that could do to the expansion, you may want to hold the champagne for another occasion. steven moore, senior economic writer and editorial board member, and professor robert rooich, a former secretary of labor under president clinton and author of beyond outraged, now available on paperback. should we be anticipate with 2.5% growth? does that indicate things are getting better for most americans? >> take anything we can get. the average growth over the last year

cable satellite corp. 2013] monday, american express ceo discusses his company's work in digital commerceglobal economy, and job creation. by the public got 30 p.m. eastern on c-span3. >> certainly, general petraeus thought his private communications were going to remain private. we should have that reasonable expectation that when we are communicating with one person, we are not committed in with the government and we are not laying out our whole lives to the government. to be want government trustworthy. we do not want to say to the american people, trust the government. as we see new problems, you should pass laws to protect people's privacy in the fourth amendment rights, rather than say the government has not abused those yet, so why are you concerned? the courts may come in and save the day. ok. they might. while we are here, how about we make sure the law catches up t

the act is also an abdication of responsibly given to congress under the commerce clause. we, we here have the duty to recognize that state sales tax systems are still too complicated and the burden interstate commerce is imposed on more businesses. the finance committee is committed to tackling these issues to provide real relief to america's families and small businesses. we have held more than 30 hearings on tax reform, including one specifically dedicated to state tax issues such as the marketplace fairness act. i repeat do. we've had a hearing on this bill, and i affirmed repeatedly to senators in c. and driven to the finance committee would work with them to mark up the bill in the next work trade and stated that commitment just a few moments ago personally to them. mr. president, i asked to proceed for just two more minutes. >> without objection. >> i thank the chair. circumventing the committee, allow this bill to come to the floor full of so many unanswered questions. afford in the committee process quashes any chances of approving this bill. denies the chance to

stuart: to me, it's e-commerce coming of age with a huge dollar number. that's gigantic and it includes paypal and that's a big chunk of the deal, but 300 billion stares me in the fact. >> absolutely. stuart: now look at facebook th's an important stock here. it's inviting the media to quote, come see our new home on android, end quote. there's an event for that this thursday. and there's speculation what officials are actually going to announce and they vary from a facebook phone, a real one, hardware, to updated android app. in september, please remember, facebook co-founder mark zucker burg made it clear they will not release a phone. and welcome back. >> thank you. stuart: let's start with the possibilities. number one they come out with their own phone, hardware, is that going to happen. >> no, i don't think so. stuart: hang on a second. how about a new operating system? >> no. stuart: not going to happen. you've got your own idea. >> a lot of people are calling it facebook home for a reason and invite might tell people what facebook wants to do, del

supreme court has outlined these categories of situations in which the congress can rely on the commerce clause, and, of course, this is not one of those three categories that the supreme court says congress can do under the commerce clause. if congress can do this, it can make people take all sorts of actions simply because they owned a product that once moved in the interstate commerce. like bread or like soap. and they can face jail time if they do not do what congress demands that they do. even the individual mandate from obamacare only establishes a penalty. it didn't put anybody in prison. i do not think that 90% of americans would support this universal background check if they had a chance to read the proposals. the motion to proceed also goes to a bill that contains language on straw purchasing and gun trafficking. i -- many changes were made to that bill and they were made at my suggestion. an amendment of mine was adopted. at the time, i still expressed concerns even though i voted to bring the bill to the floor. and i spoke of my desires to have those concerns worked out -- c

at what cost at your commerce? these are all serious questions. the folks inside the american intelligence community will respond to the republic. they do what you tell them to do. as a citizen, my judgment is that's about where we want it to be. if you push this down much further, we do what i've said we haven't done to date, which is we begin to change our dna as a free people. now, free -- the dark side to that, as i said before, this is penalty kicks. this is going to happen. it's a level of risk that i'm disappointed to say we're probably going to have to live. >> when you look at the situation of the older brother going to chechnya or dagestan or russian intelligence tipping us off. is there anything there that should have been done differently. >> looking back, even those sympathetic to how hard a problem is, will say i wonder if and could we have done that. but let me give you a couple of factors. how many tips do you get in a week? and the answer is a lot. and this is came from the fsb, the russian service. the russians are mad at a bunch

chamber of commerce. and you say?> well, the law has not taken effect and what gallup says. >> bill: so you don't believe this. >> u.s. chamber of commerce has an agenda. they have been the number one opponent of this healthcare law. >> bill: it's a conservative group. i run a corporation. i told you what my experience was. triple. be that as it may. navigators. do you like these navigator guys? >> look. this is a new complex system. >> bill: yeah. >> somebody needs to help these people figure it out. >> bill: somebody? >> yes. do you know what the navigators are? >> bill: yes. >> helping seniors figure out medicare. this navigator program builds on the existing program that's already in place that helps seniors figure out the medicare advantage prescription drug -- bill, that program was put in place by george sr. this is taking a program that works, building on it, people trust it, it works. >> bill: okay. so you have no problem with hundreds of thousands of navigators. >> it's not going to be hundreds of thousands.

versus a greedy approach to commerce, for want of another word. >> okay. greedy's bad, in my view. >> ah! ah-ha! in your view, it's bad. but that's what we're talking about- right and proper action. >> okay. and here's the other thing. one of the best documented times when christ lost his cool was not the samaritan woman at the well who'd had a few husbands- divorce was not that major for him; it wasn't good, but it wasn't anything that- he talked to her, sent her off as a disciple. but it was cheating merchants at the temple, and he made a very definite physical- one of the few times that you saw him engaged in what you would call violent behavior. >> but you're talking about one religious- >> yeah, but that is the exact kind of thing that i'm talking about with merchants right now. >> but you're talking about one religious viewpoint, or one- is that christianity? >> no. i think it's in the old testament where you're going to find good measure is shaken down and running over. >> well, how does a daoist appropriate that, or how does a buddhist, you know, v

this is an issue the commerce mind lofgren has issued a bill in the house. she addresses the bill in the senate, doesn't address the senate -- issue so congressman lachman -- lofgren's you -- is that something we need a warrant for an ascent something you think is important that congress addressed the issue? >> guest: two things. the fourth coalition is not focusing on that. it's focusing on x. buffer it from a civil liberties standpoint definitely legislation is needed to stop the unwarranted tracking of the individual because they have a gps in their phone or in their car. and so i think rover would agree that the law needs to be changed but that's not the focus of this digital coalition. >> guest: speaking of cars and the mobile cloud is that affect how the law looks at communications? if you are in your car you can text and phone in the car. does it affect the law of? >> guest: i'm not sure that it should. if if you are using your phone in your car and not driving and are in the passenger seat and being safe and not texting. if you wrote a letter or read

whether it's the chicagoland chamber of commerce, whether it's the hispanic chamber of commerce, i mean, you name it, we're involved with them and they're involved with us. and the great news is we are a huge resource for them, essentially a staffing center at this point. you know, we have been learned to be trusted, you know, so that as people are graduating from our programs, if they're getting a referral from us, they know that this person's not only been successful in the building the right type of foundation and getting the life skills and, you know, the job training and the things that they need to be successful but they also know how to follow through and execute on the jobs for an employer. they become a very productive employee. just first hand, you know, to tell you, a safe haven is an employer of many of our graduates. you know, we have about 180 employees, and i want to say at least 50 percent of our employees are graduates of our programs. we have a very intense professional development training program. so we train people that have gone through the system that have express
