released documents of prove the secretive and demographics unit has been targeting muslim owned stores and places of worship and i might be asking yourself how this is different from the other reports of the a.p.'s put out unfortunately for the n.y.p.d. and for mayor bloomberg the new documents show the unit was working undercover in these places because they were places of muslim muslims owned or frequented but here's the kicker that also shows that they were doing or what they were doing was in fact based on religion and nothing else the documents show they deliberately chose not to monitor the jewish and coptic christian populations in the exact same areas where they were monitoring the muslim community this report does not represent the coptic egyptian community and is merely an insight into the muslim egyptian community of new york city if you ask me that's that's pretty damning and it kind of throws the whole we were just doing surveillance geographically argument out the window so basically over the last few years and life demographics unit has been canvassing all of new york fo

demographics unit has been canvassing all of new york for muslims they've been hanging out in places muslims go places the muslims own and just observing taking notes pictures of people who have done absolutely nothing wrong in cases where there are no leads to be followed other than the fact that the people are there are of a certain religion but don't marry or bloomberg promise that they aren't doing anything wrong or targeting any people of any religion now as more evidence of bloomberg might just wanna let this one go stop coming and think commenting on it publicly over the weekend the times ran a piece that contained a coke by bloomberg on the surveillance controversy and what incited he have then on the topic he said quote i have many friends that are muslims that's right bloomberg decided to follow the footsteps of so many others make an argument that he associates with people of a certain group and therefore everything is totally cool as we all know he's not the first one to try to pull this move. i am fit least racist and great relationships in fact one as you know on the ap

documents that have led to the associated press reporting look at the demographics unit the powerpoint presentation from the n.y.p.d. describing this they were doing this based on twenty nine ancestries of interest twenty eight was some authority countries and the twenty nine thousand the american black muslim they're looking first signifiers of religious observance of political activity and i think even about evidence of a crime or leads being mentioned at all that's not what i pay tax dollars to the police to do this is obviously about criminalizing faith criminalizing the sense and control how is this made an impact in mosques around new york city i mean are people more worried to be frightened anyone is this is a really big concern still. absolutely i've heard this from a number of people me on a little bit more outspoken about my own views because i've got a committed to this but on the other hand there are lots of people who come forward and said that they're uncomfortable talking about politics that they're uncomfortable even talking about with lucian and their religious beliefs

so-called demographics unit which is created specifically to monitor every area of muslim life in new york the n.y.p.d. intends to treat new york like the west bank that's according to a report in the associated press so if you're treating new york like the west bank they're kind of encouraging citizens to see all muslims as potential terrorists as potential threats and to act out and we haven't seen we haven't concluded the investing asian in elko home of the a lot of killing but if it turns out that this is a right we stream this then this person was essentially acting out law enforcement duties in an extreme in violent fashion but but but their second degree the view of the wadi as a terrorist has been legitimized by law enforcement and by the right wing media. interesting connection in germany news recently came out of germany that the court there rule that it's legal for police to stop an id people based on their skin color so this is an example of racial profiling at that point i'm not even trying to hide it or deny it right when you say that the same thing happens here in the u

united states. and then the final point -- on the demographics here is women. and this is really near and dear to my heart. i was an investment banker for jpmorgan. and i honestly believe that women are the undervalued asset class. and that means that women can be entrepreneurs and we don't see them right now very much in this segment, especially not in the high-growth segment. and that's a real question mark. there are some statistics that i think are in some ways troubling and in some ways cool. women are 46% of the workforce, 50% of college students, 51% of our ph.d.s, and last year 70% of the valedictorians. like, girls are smart. and so, for any of you who haven't figured that out yet. right? why do not we not see them starting companies? in my research, i'll be honest and say it's really hard to find examples of companies that have scaled over $100 million in revenue in less than five yoors that have women as founders. and i can give you a couple examples. stella and dot is a phenomenal company. a woman out of stanford undergraduate business school starte

demographic burden. everyone thought that. even the enlightened ones were answering the racist remarks, were saying unit, which are doing is your building a wall of extremist or even those trying to defend ever use were saying you're making them into a reservoir of extremists. a whole sociology was built within an ideological framework that those young arabs are demographic threat, they are a political threat, they are a strategic threat to their own people into the west. and most of the sociological studies done were with him that within that ideological posture. i mean, i'm sure in some universities there was some good work being done. there's absolutely no doubt about that, but i'm thinking the over all, the general view was that the youth was a burden. they serve a surprise us. they certainly surprise themselves. it turned out not all were extreme is a. if anymore, therefore more enlightened than their elders prevent far more interesting things to say about the present, about their future, and they had far more will and the capacity to affect change in anything that we had seen before. but again, that promise was somehow di

last week a unit in the area picked up two gentlemen in the area that were both registered sex offenders. they said that we are on our way to the rocket room. it shows the demographic we are having and some of the issues. we have not seen a change in program. we are hoping we can make the change long term. we will see. that is all that we have four right now. >> i wanted to ask a question about polk street. one of the things happening on broadway is that the bar owners are getting together. is there anything like that going on? >> currently, there is not. we are scheduling a meeting with polk street owner. getting together with broadway as a model. >> are they still using the same security? nobody has changed? >> i had a couple of questions. i will throw this at you. if you want to punt over to the officer, that is fine. the illegal club, they have entertainment and a full bar. they are going against places that pay for security. when we shut them down, what i would think that we should do is to confiscate all of the musical instruments as evidence and all of the liquor as evidence. if you come out and you say, knock it off, you are illegal, that is a tap on the wr

united states is 39. that surprises people, and in fact it tilts toward a lot more people in the baby boomer age range than you would ever expect. there's 76 million people in that demographic and they truly are going to redefine retirement. they may not retire. and there are reasons for that. some of it is people are living longer, they're healthy longer. some of it is economics base, maybe they need to stay in the workforce. but we're seeing them drive a lot of innovation and entrepreneurial growth. as leaders of states, there are certain things to think about here, how do you tap into that population? i mean, they cannot only start companies, they can be angel investors in companies. they certainly can be mentors, they can be advisers. there are certain places where they like to live, making your regions, cities, states attractive to this demographic is important. i'm from the pacific northwest. and an example has been to oregon, it's amazing how many people like to retire in bend, oregon. it really is an example of a place that could do a lot to engage this enterprising boomer segment. gen-y entrepreneurs, this is a guy giving a one-minute elevator pitch. the next gener

redistricting can be a window on demographic change in the united states that takes place every 10 yearsis is the time where we are changing political geography. the meteoric rise of the latino population and the controversies in texas and elsewhere -- people tend to think about anything in classic areas like texas and california, maybe farda, but it is really throughout, not just the south, but northern cities as well. where i lived in harlem that has been seen as a majority black area is now predominantly latino. that is a similar claim -- a theme -- the african-american population has not been keeping up the pace so that it becomes a little more challenging to draw some of these districts. also, not a necessary -- not unnecessary because there are certain african-american incumbents for crossover voters. the relevance of the obama election i think is in the background of a lot of discussions about these issues, even though it does not come up in court. i will be interested to see if it does leave the supreme court to think about section five volume one way or another. the presidential

uniting the party. he's not breaking in to the demographic that rick santorum still has, and that is the heart and soul of the party. more religious voters, working-class voters. aspects of the republican base that has continued to stay away from mitt romney. but romney, you got to give it to him, he's won everywhere that he's had to win. just in the industrial midwest here of late. in michigan, in ohio, now in illinois. rick santorum has not won some place that he actually had to win. he just continues to be a strong enough number two. so the advantage is still clearly with romney. it's just a question of time. >> meantime the other part of this on the other hand, three fourths of those who were -- at the exit polls, the republicans, illinois republicans, said that winning november is their top priority. so that's a major factor here in romney's victory. >> you know, it has been, ann, in every contest that we've seen so far. electability. who is in the best position to beat president obama? and romney always wins that. so you have a party that doesn't love their standard-bearer but they think he's rea

but the bottom line is, people want to see a demographic -- democratic transformation. that's one of the things that the unitedtates can be helpful in providing support to some of the unarmed groups that are struggling every day to try to figure out a way civil society groups and faith-based groups and kindred groups and women's organizations are struggling to find a way to help build for the democratic transformation. that kind of support, and another discussion is internal and administration, they haven't resulted like how can we be helpful here? i think dubya a lot of things to do in that regard to be able to help foster and facilitate and empower some of the sudanese groups themselves to assert more definitively their democratic rights and their future. >> well, we have now stored on a second though, and this is only a 10 minute though, so we're going to be compelled here i think in this round to try to wrap up. but i think we're at that point anyway. let me say to you, john and george, how much we really appreciate what you have done here. i think this is a tremendous example of best citizen activism. and

relations with the united states, but a week before he came to the u.s., they vetoed the security council resolution on syria. i hate to say it, but america, we're not their demographic. american multinationals aren't their demographic, either and that's going to cause a lot of challenge not just for u.s./china at the high level but also for folks on the ground doing business in china. >> rose: what did they veto the syrian resolution? why? >> my understanding was this the top foreign policy official in china was in favor of abstaining and then putin made an impassioned phone call to hu jintao and he said okay, i'll vote against, the russians have a strong view on this. the point is, the notion they would veto a week before they came to the united states to meet barack obama with the future president of china, a few years ago, before 2008, that would have been unheard of. but now they're more constrained and we're seeing this across the blord. a chinese government that isn't democratic but has to increasingly focus within a much narrower decision set and making the kind of major political and economic transformations that need to occur, yes, they're aware, they're sm

unites us. it does not matter where your demographic background, people do not want money in politics. >> it would be helpful to me if we did see -- i would like to know any hispanic folks that are representing any groups and any persons of any color. >> we will give you an opportunity to meet everyone. we want to make sure we get the questions covered. i hear your point loud and clear. >> [inaudible] that is not always disclosed. some point to that as corporate money.i is there a difference there? >> i think we all first want to make sure the effects of citizens united are rolled back and that is for every kind of organization. a lot of us would say simply there is a profound difference between the firepower of corporate america, the sheer mass of money they can bring to bear and the self interests involved versus any other element of our society. i think we're deeply concerned that if the floodgates were opened of corporate money, our democracy would not survive it and that is what we're trying to address. >> there is a world of difference between corporations and unions. the first is corporatio
