every prophecy spoken about the son of david. >> line of david no longer in power. herod the great was on the throne and the jews had a gentile ing. >> hehad been a convert from the enemy of people to judaism. >> because of his unlowly birth, herod was threaten by the desen dents of david and burnethe genealogies of the jews. >> he settled in a village behind me, e town of the branch, referring to the branch of vid. today we know it better by its hebrew name, nazareth. >> boyhood home of jesus, filadelfia batak of ancient prophecy of isaiah. it didn't exist until 650 years after isaiah's time. at firstglance you won't find the word nazareneanywhere unless you read it in hebrew. >> matthew puts tolth the voice of several prophets, he'll be the branch comingfrom the place, nazarethit is a perfect fit. it is one of these little jewels matthew puts the that you have to dig to discover and understand. >> messiah was the shoot that came up out of the root of david. >> in jesus' day, only about 150 people lived in nazareth. once a family of kings, they now worked as farmer

now, many of the speakers have spoken about david campos. know i am pretty well. -- i know him pretty well and watch him from a distance. and he represents my district. my district was carved out from silver to bacon, and given to district nine. so that's the can dailt. -- candidate. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm abraham simmons a pleasure to meet you all in this context. the board president, and members, i have two thoughts. one, if you're struggling for someone, i will accept the nomination. [laughter] but short of that, short of that, a couple of other things. there has been a lot of discussion about whether you should or should not pick someone. and i think that's a ridiculous conversation. of course you should. and of course you should give -- pick someone with enough time for them to figure out how to handle the financial and other problems of this city. they are tremendous. and there are things that need to be attacked with as much -- as soon as possible. and with as much confidence as possible. but a

this is david and julie and's show. let's just say this is a serious book and the fact it has hilarious moments, genuinely laugh out loud moments how he deals with it. it makes it all the more serious. this is a portrait of a man and a hero. this is an uplifting book to read because it describes the genuinely great man. but there was also to be a disturbing book because we don't seem to have many men or women of his character and self discipline on the scene right now. he is a man-made of greater stuff than we seem to have now. from greeter times than we have now. perhaps we can use this book as a yardstick to measure present and future national leaders. if we do, i'm afraid they are going to look pretty puny. our satloff, but with a gift to have had general eisenhower. now i introduce you to too great friends and biographers, david and julie eisenhower. [applause] >> thank you. [applause] >> it is so wonderful to be back in yorba linda and to be here with so many special friends, with my uncle and my aunt, cindy quinn,

david that's why i go to those you would say to folks i go to you i want to ask david david david i mean did what is really the difference then i mean it's just the israeli state and if we go from what daphne had to say i think i mean if it's unique or not i mean these really state wants to slim all of jerusalem to be jewish that's one of the high priority for them they don't want to have other religious groups living there in jerusalem would you agree or disagree with that because a lot of them would say i'd lot of people to go ahead. look i'd have to disagree with that jerusalem as a whole has around seven hundred fifty thousand people there are around in east jerusalem the former area that was occupied by jordan captured by israel in sixty seven around three hundred around four hundred thousand there are around two hundred thousand arabs two hundred thousand jews and the population of both have been steadily growing and so the arab population jerusalem has been growing if there was a policy to chase them out or whatever there has been a problem with arabs moving abroad and they a

i want to thank david obey. i want to thank him for being my friend, i want to thank him for being an example of what members of congress ought to be. i want to thank him for being a sfed fast, faithful voice for the people who needed a voice. a leader on behalf of the principles that i think this country was speaking about then it said that we establish a government to protect the general welfare. david obey believed that to his very core and every day of his service, his belief was manifest in his actions. i also want to thank my friend jerry lewis. jerry lewis and i have served every day that i served on the appropriations committee, i served with jerry lewis. almost every day with hal rogers. hal came a little after jerry and i came with to the committee. one of the things that i recall to people about this committee is that for most of my service, not all of my service, unfortunately, but most of my service it was arguably the most bipartisan committee in the congress of the united states. we worked togethe

ok i'd like to go back to david here david in the beginning of the program we heard a comment that the one of the reasons for the exit is of christians is because of islamic fundamentalism and extremism but there would be people who would make the claim that there is. religious fundamentalism extremism on the on the jewish side in marginalizing christians as well getting stuck in the middle is this or maybe just more gentle the polarization of attitudes regarding religion is this squeezing christians out because they don't feel as we heard early in the program don't feel particularly comfortable in the muslim community and they don't feel particularly comfortable anymore in the jewish community you know it's the issue of polarization of religion and i guess where it meets politics. well i i'm not going to pretend that the situation is perfect for christians within israel but you don't see the exodus of christians from israel like you do from the palestinian areas or from iraq right now or from lebanon on even the a gyptian coptic ancient ten or eleven million people christians in egypt

david, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, david. the president is preparing to break one of his biggest campaign promises. he is poised to extend tax cuts to the richest americans in exchange for helping millions who are jobless. >> senate be in order. >> reporter: tonight, it appears republicans will get all the tax cuts extended. >> i think it's pretty clear now taxes are not going up on anybody in the middle of this recession. we're discussing how long we should maintain current tax rates. >> reporter: for democrats, making this deal, giving in on taxes to get unemployment benefits extended, is a tough pill to swallow. >> we're moving in that direction. and we're only moving there against my judgment and my own particular view of things. >> reporter: democrats tried to extend the tax cuts only to the middle class. >> they're demanding that the wealthiest americans get a tax cut that is 1,000 times the size of the average american. >> reporter: but the effort -- >> mr. cochran, no. >> reporter: failed twice in the senate. so, the

david's great." but i think that... you know, very respectfully mark was thinking he didn't want it to look like it was kind of hey, buddy, i'm bringing in a buddy. but as soon as he mentioned david i was like it's great, yeah, let's meet with david. >> rose: >> i said i'll come in a little late. >> it was nothing like the first meeting that david and i ever had. (laughs) >> rose: what was that, david? >> >> i'm not going to go... i won't go into it. >> i auditioned him for three kings and it didn't go very well for me. (laughter) >> the world is filled with actors who have audition stories. (laughter) >> we got together and this was the right crowd for me. >> we both have the same love for dickie. >> absolutely. wanted to come in from that point of view and also not being a deep dark addiction movie. >> that's not interesting. how do you think i changed it when we came in. how do you think it changed? >> because everyone else was talking about it and there was this great earnestness to it-- i don't know if you'll agree

. >> david cameron showing barack obama around westminster. all british and american leaders since 1945 have been condemned to seem friendly. america may often be patronizing but it needs its usually uncritical main ally just as much as britain has pain. need to be reassured. a wikileaks quote from the u.s. embassy released by the garden tonight sums it up neatly. though tempting to argue that keeping her majesty's government off-balance about its current standing with us might make london more throg respond favorably when pressed for assistance. in the long run, it's not in u.s. interests. the criticisms of britain's performance in afghanistan have been, of course, particularly painful. we and president karzai agree, said one of the american wikileaks documents, that without extra forces the british are not up to the task of securing helmand. they are so embarrassed by this that hillary clinton apologized profusely for it today in a bbc interview. >> i personally want to convey to the government and the people of the united kingdom both our d

i like david campos, maybe you like ed harrington. put your names down, mention them, and, you know, if we want to order the vote or reorder the vote or restructure it to get to an outcome, fine, we can do that procedurally. we can withdraw nominations or remake nominations or vote down a name if it's earlier in the order because you want to vote for someone later in the order and then go back to the earlier of the order but we can't do any of that unless we actually have a vote to actually have that process happen. so let's have that process happen and if we are not going to have that process happen now, let us clearly communicate what our intentions are on january 8, and if you want to say you're not prepared to have this conversation now, you're going to vote yes on this motion, but regardless of what happens between now and january 4, you want to have nominations and take votes on january 4, fine. at least you've said something. if you want to tell me you don't want to take motions and you'll play into the mayor's gamesmanship if

rohde was abducted more than seven months ago. >> david rohde. >> david rohde of "the new york timesvanished in the forbidding mountains of afghanistan and pakistan. tonight he is a free man. >> this weekend he managed to get away from his captor. >> found his way to a pakistani army scout who was able to get help and now we understand accord i according to "the new york times" reporting that he is at an american base in bagram. >> those breaking news reports came in june 2009 after pulitzer prize winning "new york times" reporter david rohde escaped from taliban captivity. in november 2008 he had been reporting from afghanistan when he agreed to an in-person interview with the taliban commander outside kabul. but the planned interview turned into an ambush as rohde was kidnapped and taken to the volatile border region of north waziristan in pakistan, a taliban and al qaeda stronghold. seven months later rohde and his afghan colleague made a daring middle of the night escape as their captors slept using a rope to scale the walls of their compound and make their way to safe haven at a

but david ignatius knows the issue better than i do. my own guess, charlie, is that holbrooke's shoes will be filled in large part by general petraeus himself. petraeus more than any general i've seen is able to play in both the military and the political space. he is a masterfully man i latif person. you see that in his dealings with karzai. he has just outfoxed karzai. it comes from the top, from the bottom. he's organizing a national army at the same time he's organizing local militias. in iraq why did he succeed in iraq. he basically armed both sides in the civil war. and he managed to pull it off. so he is, you know, he is a very skill 68, i sometimes think kissingerian player in these things. and i think the space that richard holbrooke filled wanted to fill and it was difficult, sometimes for richard, i see petraeus filling. >> so what should we expect in the next six months. >> well, i think you should expect this strategy to accelerate. petraeus will try as hard as can to clear the areas where the taliban has been strong. to bu

commissioner campos: david goggin? is he here?r members here. >> jonathan goldberg. mr. goldberg, if he could come up, please. >> good morning, how are you? commissioner campos: this is an opportunity to simply talk about yourself, your interest in serving in this capacity. >> good morning and thank you for considering my application. i have been an individual working for san francisco to do by san francisco. we have strived for this message since our inception 63 years ago. as an individual, my experiences with sf and beautiful bring together representatives from many individuals of the downtown workforce, from finance, law, planning, and urban design. i hope to bring together my own background in horticulture and desire to increase the liability and to beautify the urban streetscape. my background in the non-profit sector, hopefully, enhances my ability to understand what street design requires to go ahead and increase economic vitality, as well as enrich neighborhood connectivity and increase community development. commissioner

david? >> seems to always be a loophole. sharyn, thank you. those poor passengers. >>> the fierce winds on the backside of this blizzard are still whipping in new england tonight, and in the middle of it all today, a terrifying accident. a ski lift snapping, dropping skiers 30 feet. this image of one of those dangling chairs captured by a skier today. it all happened at sugarloaf mountain in maine, and jeremy hubbard is there this evening. >> reporter: good evening, david. it is still very windy here tonight. investigators are trying to figure out if wind is what caused this accident. nine people were taken to the hospital. several others injured. some of them children. and as you said, skiers with cameras captured what happened next. the pictures reveal the horror for the skiers on the mountain. rebecca london was on one of the lifts that fell. >> it happened so fast. i didn't have time to be afraid. they kind of lurched back and then i didn't realize we just dropped. >> we were about six c

david? >> but it is good to see the traffic moving there behind you, and barbara, merry christmas to you and the crew standing outside with you. >>> meteorologist chikage windler is in minneapolis, tracking the storm tonight. and the two big questions, where is it right now and where it is headed next? >> well, the storm system that was over minnesota this morning and brought us record december snowfall now has pushed off to the south and east, impacts iowa, illinois, indiana and it is going to continue to digging south. there are currently winter weather advisories for potential of snow all the way into northern georgia and through portions of the carolinas. david? >> and i know the storm is headed far east, and you were telling me earlier when we were talking in the news room that the timing of this is what most concerns you. >> that's exactly right. you know, over the last three hours, we watched as the snow has been pushing to the south and east, but it is likely to merge with an area of

>> david pursued me. i have great respect for david. i thought he must see something in there that is matching his vision. it was different for me because in the world of nine inch nails or how to destroy angels -- was that i'm at the top of pyramid makaining the call. it was interesting to work for something else occurred my music was in a supporting role -- my music was in a supporting role. i just thought i would try to get into david's head and best figure out what he wanted from it. shoot around the target. the process happened pretty quickly on this film. tavis: have you been bitten by the bug to do this again, even though you had great trepidation at the outset? >> experience i had has been unmatched. the respect i got from filmmakers, the people in the studio, the producers, has been such a good experience. creatively, it was interesting, and also, just dealing with smart people with a common goal. it was a fun process. and also, to be frank, seeing the accolades coming in, to be involved of a project of this caliber was a great

>> david? >> the very thing that we are most afraid of and you're watching congress act on, the too big to fail concept is the very thing that california is depending upon for its survival, that they will be too big to fail, the eighth largest economy, they will say, americans cannot afford to let us go down. the only problem with that is, nobody is changing. if you watched even the last elections and the dialogue around it, it's not aboutisms and politics, it's about putting people in there who are promising to take care of everybody without any issues related to the fact that they're broke. >> okay. this is why we're in pittsburgh tonight. this is why we're trying to wake you up. we have a solution. in fact, is it janet? you're the one who is actually working on one of the solutions. we talked before hand. we'll get into that in a little bit. there is a solution to this. it's just not a comfortable solution. but it's a realistic solution. we're going to take a break. when we come back. before

and for david wright, that's a "sign of the times." >> reporter: it's a ghost of christmas past that? >> it's been a long time since i've been the new anything. >> reporter: a scene from a 1977 bing crosby christmas special featuring david bowie. back then, bowie, barely 30, was something of a musical spans oddity. ♪ is there life on mars >> reporter: a gender-bending glam rocker who seemed to be from a different planet. ♪ chrwhite christmas ♪ >> reporter: at least a different planet from mr. white christmas himself, then age 74. it's probably the oddest pairing since elvis turned up to show richard nixon. >> he didn't sing. >> reporter: no but david bowie did. ♪ come they told me >> reporter: a duet with bing of "the little drummer boy." that duet became such an odd and enduring icon of christmas that this year -- >> why, it's jason seigle, the actor. >> reporter: not only is there an animated version from jack black and jason seigle -- ♪ our finest gifts we bring >> reporter: there's a parody by will ferrell and john c. riley. >> are you is new butler? >> it's been a long time. >>

>> david, i think there will be an agreement.very, very clear that the enormous divide between the republicans and democrats. republicans are fighting to keep in place a tax policy that has failed over the last eight years. it has failed. we have had a net loss of jobs. and what we've seen is a republican party that's absolutely prepared to deny unemployment insurance to people who have been laid off, who can't pay their bills, who want to put food on the table for their families. they've said no. we're willing to hold that hostage so we can give the wealthiest people in the country a bonus tax cut. what i mean by that is people aren't focuseded on the fact that under the democratic proposal, everybody in america got a tax cut. the wealthiest people in america got a tax cut, up to the $250,000 of income. what they're fighting for is to give those people who earned more than a million dollars a year a bonus tax cut above that, even though it's the least effective way of creating jobs and putting impact into the economy. >> senator
