crowley. >> in district seven i think it's necessary to dismiss this idea all together and let's not forget the holidays and they hit them as well. a one size approach doesn't fit this and i suggest the parking lots at the ball field and we do dynamic pricing and that is one solution that is dense and know they're going to pay for parking and looking for solutions to fit their car in for free. only in areas where there is the retail wrap that should happen but in district seven it's a disincentive for the merchants. >> we are good at shooting the goose and in the foot and muni says we have a deficit let's gouge the drivers. are you going to drive anywhere? no. you're going somewhere else and where is that revenue that we need? and by the way give free passes to youth and expand it from there, so we gill the gooses and shoot the drivers in the foot by digging a deeper hole for yourself and why don't we increase revenue and ticket the people that are riding muni and not paying? enforce that. >> thank you. mr. garcia. >> it sounds like i watch a lot of tv. there is a guy that appears on

that is what happened to candy crowley. they weren't following this. they were taking a direction from the white house and parolting what they heard. the fact that he didn't know it was news says more about the broader media culture. >> jon: let's imagine during the debate candy crowley had backed up the president, if somebody enterprising news producer, probably 25 saw that interview, thissaid, wait a minute we have news here. we could play the president and his thinking on the day after the attack. what would that have done? >> i think it would have made a big difference. look what they did to condi rice or abu abu ghraib. or the media had a template number one horse race. oh, by the way, sub text, support obama. >> i don't accept the idea the media weren't paying attention. so that is why they didn't focus on this. it's a big story. we have had terrorism on the front pages of our newspapers and in lead pages on television newscast. this is part of a larger piece. this is part of the islamic world saying they are coming after us. if we don't believe

crowley. >> i would say that one of the bigger things that we will have before us is the gross receipts tax check that norman talked about trading from the payroll tax which is punitive. the next thing i would do is increase the foot print on mos sony center and that brings in a lot of money to the general fund and erect a multi-purpose area and bring in more money to the coffers and a green industry. one reason to bring them in is people come and go into the city of san francisco and that is a large footprint. they come and go. the visitors spend approximately $1 million of revenue in san francisco every hour and save us $1,100 in services and that's what i suspect we should be doing. >> thank you. >> if the city needs to generate new revenue for the budget what fees should it institute? >> well, first of all we need to close loop holes. we can't have big office towers sold and pretending they're at the 1978 price so we need to close the loopholes. we need to encourage small business growth. we can't live on facebook alone and make sure a small business owner with an idea city hall mak

i did not want it to be monica crowley's story about richard nixon. and i thought that the best way for nixon to influence history was to allow him to speak for himself. c-span: in the new york times review, michiko kakutani writes this about your book: "mr. nixon emerges as a smart, savvy and generally interested in the global consequences of american foreign policy. but he also comes across as self aggrandizing, petty, vindictive, suspicious, egotistical and manipulative. we seem him blatantly jockeying for a position of influence with the bush and clinton administrations, we see him trying almost desperately to reshape his public image, and we see him mouthing off indiscreetly about rivals and colleagues." what was your reaction to that? >> guest: well, i think that's a reflection of this reviewer's political bias. everybody has biases. i understand that. this reviewer obviously took those biases to the table when he or she wrote that piece. and nothing i could say about richard nixon was going to change that. so when they read this book, he or she

i want to bring in candy crowley for this. candy, said that manufacturing is what he wants to look at. when i read what they say about manufacturing, manufacturing employment changed little in october. on net, manufacturing employment has shown little change since april. that has to be a little black cloud in what i think some people are saying are good, decent numbers. >> well, it is. and especially since the president has always focused on manufacturing, talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back. because, of course, that rings to the god old days. you could have a great middle class life when there were great manufacturing jobs, inside manufacturing plants and that way of living has, for decades kind of gone away. however, i think what you're -- that does take away from one of the president's talking points when you talks about, and we've added good manufacturing jobs. they still have added some, just not since april is what i think you just said. what you have here politically is more fuel for the same fire. i think th

so, you know, it's not going to necessarily be all that easy to fill this post. >> michael crowley of "time" magazine, we know that general petraeus was due to appear or is due to appear on thursday before a congressional committee that's investigating what happened in benghazi. do you think that this resignation will have an affect on whether he appears in person or will that job be taken on this occasion by his deputy? >> i don't know the answer to that, martin. i wouldn't want to venture a wild guess. i would say that that was going to be a difficult and awkward appearance for petraeus. it will be if he still goes. probably the most difficult political moment of his career. some of the recent reporting on what happened in benghazi suggests that if there was a security lapse, the cia may well have been to blame. that the state department consulate was also being guarded by cia forces that were personnel that were based in this annex which appears to have been a cia building. now, there's some dispute and murkiness around this, but some of the reporting from about a week or so ago su
