crowley. good morning, welcome to the rules committee. >> thank you, chairman campos, it has been great to work with you, supervisor michaele alioto- pier. we are going to miss you. on my way back yesterday, i tried to write down a couple of things because i do not tend to be the best extemporaneous thinker. good morning, i am f.x. crowley, a native son of san francisco and employees to be here today, having been nominated by gavin newsom to serve the port commission of the city and county of san francisco. as most of you know, i am employed by 1200 members by the international alliance of the international staging points. i am the chief negotiator for several hundred business and government contracts totaling more than $50 million in annual wages to our members. i interface daily with a local state and city governments and and the trustee with our defined benefit plans. in addition, my professional experience to the labor is in california. i have also had the pleasure to serve the city of san

congressman joe crowley joining us. why are you doing this? i love this. it does bring it out big time. i don't think anybody has done this. why are you doing this? >> i think it's a request to understand the ironic hypocrisy. what's going on is they ran against the health care bill that we passed. an opportunity to give our constituents including their constituents an opportunity millions of americans who don't have an opportunity to get health insurance to have options, to have choice, in their health care coverage. they want to deny them that opportunity and yet go on the public role themselves and get publicly sponsored health care in the house of representatives. i think it's hypocrisy and ironic. >> it's on an average that the taxpayers are forking out 10 thousand $500 per member. their response is going to be hey, it's a job benefit like any other american. what do you say to that? >> i say that's exactly what every other american wants, they want a job, they also want health care. so many don't have. reality is if they come to congress and they wan

the one-on-one with canadidy crowley coming up. >>> debt-free in three. got out of it in three years. we'll tell you how they did it. and break down how you can do it too. >>> but first, it's getting ugly in america's airports. and the head of homeland security is pleading this morning with air travelers to be more patient. the latest incident, john tiner's confrontation in san diego over the weekend. all of it captured on his cell phone camera. 31-year-old software engineer from california was going on a hunting trip with his father-in-law on saturday. when he refused to submit to a body scan at san diego's international airport. tyner's cell phone recorder secretly rolling, they attempted to pat him down. >> do you have anything in your pockets? >> i don't think so, they had me take it out. >> no belt, no nothing. >> no belt, no nothing. >> do you have any external or internal implants i need to know of. >> no. >> we're going to be doing the standard pat down using my hands going like this. also we're going to be doing a groin check. i'm going to place

crowley bring a lot of background and skills to any commission they serve on. both - 7 siskins, both involve with the community their entire lives. both serving on commissions. -- both san franciscans, both involved with the community their entire lives. these people could have moved on, but they came to the conclusion, in his mind, putting rodney on the planning commission added to the strength of that body, bringing f.x. crowley off of the puc, on to the port commission, where there has always been a strong labor voice. that was important to that commission as we are dealing with the projects we are having in the port. i urge you in both cases to support the nominations. supervisor campos: thank you. mr. decosta. >> supervisors, let the first categorically state, the mayor should understand, in san francisco, we have many as twute candidates. we have too many candidates who follow the mayor for the sake of following the mayor. if we do not send mr. fong to the planning department, we would traumatize it. he is a talented person. even though monique moyer said

. >>> with me now is "time" magazine's michael crowley. how much room does the president have with republicans? >> i think there's basically no ability to make deals with republicans right now. so what i think senator brown probably hit on is the most profitable theme to the white house right now is this issue, tax cuts. now actually say -- it's interesting because you hear this grousing among senate democrat but they've handled the tax cut issue terribly. i mean they had a chance to really press this before the midterm elections. to force republicans to defend, cutting taxes for the wealthiest, which is really an unpopular position, republicans sort of defend because it's built into the infrastructure of their ideology right now. and senate democrats couldn't -- and the house as well, couldn't get it to a vote. couldn't get consensus on it. i do think this is a place where obama can really start to hammer it, and he's not done so, thus far. but it's not like senate democrats have been a model of brilliant political strategy on this partic

. >> with me now is "time magazine"'s michael crowley.ator if he gives progressives what they're looking for, what does he do relative to make any deals with the republicans? >> i think there's no ability to make deals with republicans right now. what i think the left wants is clearer, as they say messaging. senator brown hit on what is probably the most profitable theme available to the white house right now. which is this issue of the tax cuts. i would say, you know, it's interesting because you hear this grousing among democrats, but they have handled the tax cut issue terribly. they had a chance to press this before the midterm elections, to force republicans to defend cutting taxes for the wealthiest, which is a really unpopular position that republicans defend because it's built into the infrastructure of their ideology right now. and senate democrats and the house couldn't get it to a vote, couldn't get consensus on it. i think this is a place where obama can start to hammer, but he has not done so thus far. but it's not like senat

candy crowley and david gergen, you'll see a lot of them too. they're with us next. even if that means we have to shop all day, right, honey? yep, all day. good thing you're starting here. we compare your progressive direct rate to other top companies', so you can save money! look! we saved a lot! and quick, too. and no more holding her purse! it's a european shoulder bag. it was a gift. mm-hmm. shopping less and saving more. now, that's progressive. princess of the powerpoint. your core competency... is competency. and you rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. and go. you can even take a full-size or above. and still pay the mid-size price. i'm getting an upgrade.

call this toll-free number now. >>> candy crowley and david gergen join me. candy, what's your overview of tomorrow? >> there will be a lot of surprised people if the republicans don't take control of the house. obviously, that's where all the attention has been. it's interesting to me that we need to watch these governor's races simply because it's a census year. and that means they're going to redistrict in all of these states. and it makes a difference who the governor is. the governors don't redistrict but they certainly have a say so. that's important, but all the attention is on the house. because it says so much about the country and how they feel about the direction of the country under the obama administration, and i -- do i think that the senate will go republican? i don't, and neither do the republicans, i can also tell you, larry, if you talk to democrats tonight they're saying you all are underestimating our turnout machine. and perhaps we are, but in the end, that's all the democrats have left right now, is that turnout machine, and whether it c

candy crowley and david gergen, you'll see a lot of them too.hey're with us next. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, including celebrex, may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increa

but i think crowley. >> it is circumstantial. >> bill: crew crowley's case is pretty strong. >> of courseo you because conservatives. >> bill: i didn't have any dog in the hunt. i didn't think the rape kit line was funny. i didn't understand it. monica understood it because she is brilliant. you didn't get it. >> i did get it. >> bill: you knew palin made a reference to rape kit. >> when she was mayor of wasilla, the police commissioner, they would charge women for rape kits if they had to use a rape kit. she did nothing about it as mayor of wasilla. although she probably knew about it. >> bill: good for you. tina fey epit toe epitomizes. i'm glad alec baldwin isn't here. my reputation is bad enough i don't want him following me around. she has a reputation of being a left wing entertainer which she is. no doubt about it? >> sure. >> bill: she's are the people that always are honored. first of all, and if dennis miller gets a kennedy center award then i will say -- >> bill, are you saying you want a dinner? do you want to have a dinner? >> bill: i want a cable guy to get an award. >> i wi

you can see all that at 9:00 eastern right here on cnn, candy crowley. we're going to be talking to her a little later as well. >>> a lot of people out here love magazines. you got "time," "travel and l e leisure," you name it. a new magazine called "inspire" magazine. but the name of the magazine belies the content in its pages. it's published by al qaeda. the magazine is calling last month's bomb plot in yemen, the one with the bombs reportedly on those cargo planes. they're calling it a success. according to this, "inspire" magazine said the operation was called operation hemorrhage. also said the attacks cost $4,200 in all. just a few of the details given out. also praised the destructiveness and death toll from the september 11th attacks. also gives a chilling omen as to what may be coming next. give you one quote here from this article from "inspire" magazine. it says, "it is more feasible to stage smaller attacks that involve less players and less time to launch, and thus we may circumvent the security barriers america worked so hard to erect." it

. >>> with me now is michael crowley. how much room does the president have to move? i asked the senator if he gives progressives what their looking for. >> i think there's basically no ability to make deals with republicans right now. so what i think the left wants so clearer as they say messages. senator brown hit on the most profitable theme available to the white house right now, which is this issue of the tax cuts. you hear this grousing among senate democrats, but they have handled the tax cut issue terribly. they had a chance to force republicans to depend cutting tagsings for the wealthiest. which is an unpopular decision because it's built into their ideology right now and senate democrat couldn't and the house as well. couldn't get it to a vote, couldn't get consensus on it. i think this is a place where obama can start to hammer it and he has not done so thus far. it's not like senate democrats have been a brilliant model on this. >> i think of health care by way of example. no one ran on it. seems like everyone hid on the issue. wouldn't they have been bet

a seat on the permanent security council add up to a plus or minus for the united states, monica crowleyis a huge plus, not because india will get a permanent seat any time soon. japan is still first in line. bill clinton encouraged a seat for japan and president bush made it official u.s. policy and japan is waiting. but here is why it was symbolically important. obama's trip was the first long- term strategic important thing that he has done. he has taken a look at the entire region and what he is doing is shoring up india to serve as a counter weight against the increasing and economic military power of china. he is putting the pakistanis on notice because pakistan is playing a dangerous game between us and the taliban in afghanistan. he is playing a sophisticated long-term strategic game and it will accrue to our benefit. india is the biggest democracy in the world, natural ally and i say well done president obama. >> really? >> yes. >> you want to put that in writing. >> you have it on tape, john. >> notarize. >> it's on tape. >> i agree with that. i think india is a critical countr

despite the growing backlash though, the head of the tsa tells cnn's state of the union with candy crowley that you shouldn't expect any changes. >> no, we're not changing the policies because of that, because of the risks that are -- have been identified, because of the current threat. we have a travel advisory to europe now. we know through intelligence that there are determined people, terrorists, who are trying to kill not only americans but innocent people around the world. >> so the secretary of state hillary clinton doesn't have to go through the screening, but sh says she understands why people people are getting so angry. >> let's not kid ourselves. the terrorists are adaptable. they start doing whatever they can to try to cause harm and when you have people who are willing to die in order to kill americans and others, you've got folks putting explosives in their underwear. who would have thought that? striking the right balance is what this is about, and i am absolutely confident that our security experts are going to keep trying to get it better and less intrusive and more preci

it happened an apartment complex on crowley lane, a couple of blocks north of highway 12. investigators say around 6:00 last night, 50-year-old ricardo argued with his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in that parking lot. he reportedly threatened to come back and kill them. he did that about 1:15 this morning. both victims were pronounced dead at the hospital. he may be driving this white van with a blue stripe down the side. and may be wearing a 49ers jacket. he should be considered armed and dangerous sdmrchlts san jose police have a temporary new boss, while the search for a new chief is under way. just who is chris moore? we spent some time with him today. here's what we found out. he has a bachelor's degree from uc berkeley, and a law degree from lincoln law school in san jose. he became a police officer in 1982 and then moved up the ranks. today he's not just the acting chief, but he's also a candidate for the permanent position. he's brainstorming how to deal with a shrinking budget. >>> the san jose police department is also struggling -- >> we have to get to a

we talked to our partners, neighborhood groups, i see the folks from the barbara coast, and jerry crowley, one of the great leaders of san francisco, and they showed us the way to put the community support you need to put a project like this together in a public space. the most fun community, though, has been the bocce community. we have all heard of tenants come, -- tim lincecum, but benji has an even better record in his career. we have a former american champion here, too. they are really elevating this came to a world-class sport. we are going to have some great games here. thank you guys for having so much fun, helping us design this court, making it the right way so that we can have your cake and ship -- championship. >> thank you to everyone who has made this possible is really great. there is a big tradition here in san francisco. it started with the immigrants that came here 50 years ago. the use to be a lot more bocce ball courts back then but they started to disappear because space is a premium. this is great, to be able to replace some of those courts that have disappeared ove

i get to talk to candy crowley, the host of "state of the union." there she is, ahhh.to see you than right now, candy crowley. >> sorry it's been such a rough day. >> no, it's all right. i don't have it that bad at all. good morning to you. i guess naturally you would be talking about what the whole country has been talking about over the past week or so, what's happening at the country's airports. >> yes, we do have the tsa administrator to come on, we're going to talk to him a little bit about what prompted this, and some sort of unanswered questions that we had about how they're going to deal with specific instances. certainly the pictures and honestly i don't know if you've been going through an airport but i have, and it's pretty amazing so we will talk to the tsa administrator, john pistole and congressman micah, a big critic of tsa but our lead-off guest will be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff because also in the news has been the president's nato meeting, the word that in a cowants nato wanw all forces in 2014 in afghanistan, we talked about-to-him about

crowley would be a very effective candidate for that job. he is speaking for the secretary of state right now. those briefings are very efficient. >> i think there are other women in this administration in communications roles, one in particular i am thinking of -- another served a spokesperson for the dnc. if they can get her to join the administration. there is great talent out there. they need to infuse energy and credibility. >> sometimes, jamie, the press secretary does not have to be someone with a lot of press experience. dana perino comes to mind. i think she was a much better press secretary that a commentator or calmness. that is another story. >> i have to agree with that. >> you will have difficulty holding a job. >> sometimes you have to think outside the box. tony snow came from the press. maybe someone with a long experience from the press. season, a national presence. i do not know your politics, but trust -- >> the problem is not my politics. the problem is my arrest record. just sitting there, venting into the microphone. i
