what he does and does what he says. i feel no reason to delay any more. >> primarily from the design and impact it is quite different from the procedural issues that have been the majority of the arguments being made. to me, to the proposed structure, starts when they (inaudible) approach to a down hillside which is very appropriate. it starts with a relatively low starting point, and at crown terrace street which is also very appropriate. the issue of what is a demolition or not, is in the calculations. it has been determined by the department that it is not a demolition. i look at it at code section as no different than any other code sections, the people in a 40-foot high limit will sometimes want to build up to the high limit and they are going to want to use the exceptions in there for either penthouses or elevator structures or etc.. and it is just another requirement that one deals with. i don't see this as a defacto demolition given that both the planning and the building department have checked the details and

the concrete does not have any rebar in it. despite the fact that it is between the new first and second floor and here is the foundation of the building. have somebody explain, how the 80-year-old foundations are going to be inserted into the walls between the floors and ceilings of the new building. have somebody explain how any of the elements of this building could do support two new floors, it can't be done. the building code does not permit it. this is a demolition. and this is smoke and mirrors. and they come in and they wave, you know, we are going to do everything correctly is all that you hear and we are never getting any specifics. have them explain, how the foundation stayed in the building, it has been very frustrating because when we went to the planning commission he said that it was presented to the commission that is not true at all. the calculations were not there and there was no discussion and the planning commission had to listen to what a great guy mel is, and none of the technical questions were ever resp

chan does not operate a bank, a savings and loan and a credit union and does not have a license to do so. the photographs taken by the neighbors tell the whole story, there was a lot of work done here and long before they had any permits. we urge you to send this through the conditional use process. >> thank you. >> mr. gladstone? >> well, first of all, financial services are complicated. mr. sanchez, looked under the wrong company. the document that i have here is signature invest tores inc document, chan listed below and it says investment advisory services offered through significant tour inc a registered investment advisor. this provides information about allfred chan that supplements the form, adv part 2 a brochure of signature investments inc. so if mr. williams or sanchez had looked under the name of the licensee which is actually signature investments and investors inc. it would have found that there is a registered investment advisory company there who owns it allfred chan. you don't need to have the dba, the business name that is in there that signed the lease is sorry the b

the academy does not prepare you for that. i take that experience and i realized in the gang environment, most of these youths are coming from single- family households. in the area where the gang violence is most prevalent, great citizens of the community, 99% of those citizens are afraid. as a prosecutor, i take this experience and figure out how i want to enforce gang violence, especially in san francisco. i break it down into three categories. you have the individual who is not fully immersed in the gang lifestyle. he is just an associate comment just hanging out. -- associates, just hanging out. for that individual, we try to work with community-based programs. i've met with dcyf, the african- american steering committee, people haven't been in this violence and i say to them, what can -- people have been in this violence, and i say to them, what can we do to make sure if this individual does not go to prison? for that individual, we try to find a way to keep him out of the prison sentence. then you have the second indivi

where does someone like myself go? i have a loan, i need additional funding. >> did you try through the sba? >> i already have an sba loan. i went to wells fargo for a line of credit and they would not give me one. >> i can speak to you about it. when we look at funds that are needed, the biggest thing we look at our cash flow. i can address that with you. unless there is an issue, at that point -- [inaudible] >> let's talk, ok. >> i have a couple of more questions. i know that the panelists have agreed to stay after for those who have specific questions. i do have one question for wells fargo. what are the typical rules for applying for sba loan of less than $50,000? how much money do we need to have in your bank to apply for a loan? >> i am on the smaller side of the bank. i am a transaction guy. i do not technically require one to have an account to do a loan with. what i look for, i generally start at 100,000 and up. when it is a requirement of 50,000 or less, i tend to call of the micro guys to help me out. that i

in addition to that, if it does not get worked out, this disclosure item is going to last until it does get worked out. so that is the first thing. i also want you to be aware that they have been selling tickets to shows and canceling those tickets day of or the day prior. so let's talk about their patrons, their patrons are purchasing tickets to shows, they are taking in the money, and they are canceling the shows and not refunding the money and moving those shows. >> you don't know that. how do you know that? >> i have gone on-line and there is still selling tickets to stuff. >> even with this issue. >> okay. >> sorry >> thank you. >> no. you are not the public. >> you cannot make a public comment. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioners, i feel like this is a really testing our ability to mediate for all sides. and that what we do here tonight, is going to be significant. with regard to whether they sell tickets or whether they refund tickets, that has more to do with the police fraud unit than us. so that is not within our jurisdiction. and so, we cannot consider

it does not work like that. [indiscernible conversation] [crowd noises] [indiscernible conversation] gets a little heavy after a while.

when the government does to marja does not do anything well. it returns death -- the government to its proper limit. we believe there is no clear role for the federal government. we wanted to be -- to do its functions well. when it does too much and tries to do everything it does that do anything very well. if by balancing the budget we will promote a healthier economy and help to promote jobs. it would increase the deficit. if we were to decrease the deficit and out it would have immediate positive results for jobs. it will guarantee a secure retirement for seniors. it will expand opportunity for the young. for a bad economy, no chance to get to pay those lane -- those lay -- those loans back. they deserve better. we want to get out of the business of cronyism. picking winners and losers in washington. it will keep our country save. as part of our plan, we cut wasteful spending. i know some friends will object but on the current pact we will spend 46 trillion dollars over the next 10 years. under our current path we will increase spending 5 pe

that is all that this does. it is just a good accounting principle that we ought to have when talking about revenues. we cannot spend money we are not going to get 14 years. really don't agree with what is in the budget amendment after the first year anyway. so we are kind of lying about how we are going to pay for different things, and just adding it to the deficit rather than actually doing it. >> is there further debate? >> madam chair, senator enzi is reinstating the first year pay- protest that existed when we first balance the budget. -- pay-go proposal that existed when we first balanced the budget. >> i will take a few minutes to review it while we are doing the votes and have a chance to chat with you between now and then. is there anybody else that we like to comment on this at this time? >> i just want to make sure i am understanding that the first year, used as an example the pension fund, and i share a concern about the pension fund. we have done a lot of looking at help -- various health cuts as we

does the supreme ayatollah care whether his economy is going down? >> yes, he does. he does care. it does concern him about the deterioration in the economy because of the prospect for promoting unrest. among the citizenry of iran. ofare seeing more signs that. at the same time, i think the supreme leader's standard for the level of private nation that iran suffered during the iraq war. we don't believe they have reached that point yet. as the supreme leader looks westward or looks at us, he can argue that we are on the decline with our influence declining particularly in that part of the world. his view of the world may not be necessarily fact-based come a particularly when it comes to internal conditions in his country. >> turning again to another long-standing part of us policy, which is nuclear deterrence, which is a policy since the late 1940s -- does deterrence work with a country like north korea or iran? it is sort of the same question. do they care of a mutually assured destruction? are they've responsive to that kind of thinking that has guided us policy for 50 years? ar

how does the sabbatical end up ext?g the genesis for this ta why does it take having to go through and happiness -- unhappiness to get to happiness? >> what is valued is these external things. offor me, i grew out frustration. i had gotten through unhappiness. my children had gotten through all those awful years, and we were ready to build a family culture, but we did not know how to do that. you make children part of this connection? we talk about the biological clock. there is another biological clock, and i wanted to know how to do that. it is the same people saying the same things over and over again, and it was very frustrating to me. the old rules do not apply. dad working, everyone having dinner. very few people live that kind of life these days, but there was not a guide book for us to follow. i wanted to go out, get some new ideas. we were not always playing defense. sometimes we were playing offense. tavis: tell me about the new rules. >> i said i did not want to cram everything into a list. i hate those. say

the republican proposal does. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from south carolina. mr. mulvaney: i'd like to yield two minutes to the gentleman from california, mr. campbell. the chair: the gentleman from california is recognized for two minutes. mr. campbell: thank you. i thank the gentleman from south carolina. thank you, mr. chairman. sometimes, mr. chairman, you live in a neighborhood, you look down the street, and there is a neighbor there. and they got new cars and they are remodeling the kitchen and they take a lot of expensive vacations. you look down the street and you wonder how are they doing that? they live on the same street that we live on. how are they doing all that stuff? and you're tempted. well, why don't we get some new cars. why don't we get -- redo the kitchen and take some longer, nicer, more expensive trips? and then one day the sticker goes up on the window of that house that says that they have to leave. and the mo

does it speak to that? >> they have chosen a man who is powerless that is the extraordinary choice that the cardinals in fact have made. here is a man who lives very simply, works very simply, has one lung. >> rose: one lung? >> he has one lung. fatherer be goglia has one lung. it's extraordinary they choose a man has one long. >> rose: what does it mean that bergoglio is a jesuit? and this the church has never had a jesuit pope? >> the jesuits were founded by a great, great man, ignatius of loyola who had a great vision of the church to evangelize. to bring the good news to the farthest corners of the world. so ignatius sent missionaries all over the world, especially to those who hadn't heard the good news. during these last 500 years, again, the jesuits in some sense have lost their mission but pope francis i has remained very true to that mission. i think we will see a man who wants sincerely to do what ignatius did: bring good news and joy, especially to those who are suffering. >> rose: does he reremi

>> how does the waiting period? >> what is the... does he have to get sign-off for the days? >> so, this is assuming that they have gotten all of the permanent place of entertainment sign-off and not going to be necessary. that is just duplicative. what we are trying to do here is find a method and find a tool, find a set of conditions that work and move ahead. the only instructions from you that i am looking for is not how to move the paper around i know how to do that, it is about the sound issue. that is the issue that we struggle with is that you have now got to struggle with because you are policy body. so i need that kind of direction from you. not you don't worry about how they come in or don't come in or how i communicate. >> okay. >> so to issue the one-day permit, the second one day permit, provided that they met all of the criteria of the sound for the first one-day permit. >> excellent. >> is that right. >> somebody else do this. >> i have a better way of doing it? >> i think that, i guess that this is an instruction to staff, this is not a motion. so the instruct

anybody else does. host: tweets -- taking your calls and comments and tweets all morning. the president's efforts have gotten pretty good reviews so far from some of the republicans that were at the dinner we mentioned on wednesday night. this from the washington post story -- also, john boehner responded to the president'reasons efforts. i want to play a little of it. [video clip] >> the president is reaching out to republican senators. >> i know. we went through zero months of campaign style events all over the country -- we went through months of camping style events. it was interesting that this week we have gone 180. after being in office four years, he is actually going to sit down and talk to members. i think it is a hopeful sign. i'm hopeful something will come out of it. but if the president continues to insist on tax hikes, i don't think we will get very far. if the president does not believe we have a spending problem, i don't know if we will get very far. but i am optimistic. host: that was

does it grab you? does it scare hillary? would it reunite the republican party?oes it scare hillary or should it? i'm joined by david corn and john feehery. bush is running around. called laura back. now he's out there pushing a right of center -- far right of center immigration proposal which he's notched back from. but he's running for it. what's happening? >> he's putting himself out there. for the past few months after the republicans lost, people kept saying bush is the answer. bush can help us. bush can lead us out of the wilderness with latino voters. that's who they kept looking to. >> what was the timeline on this? when was bush high? >> well, i think starting with the election. >> then got blown away. >> blown away. the thing is, here he comes out. i think he's completely botched what he was supposed to be good at. >> made a bad move. people have all made bad moves in the beginning. but i want to know about positioning. is he positioned somewhere between now if he sticks with this tougher position on immigration, is he positioned to the right of rubio a

the house does, and house largely leaves defense alone, senate does not, without sounding like openinge odd couple how can different budget authors get together without driving each other crazy? by seeing where their common ground sudde isn't so crazy. there is more to the polar opposites than might meet the eye. when a possible breakthrough dial that might, might, break a logjam, it is true, i feel it in my bones. do i have rocks in my skull? i guess sherri, i am looking at you, and i am looking at how republicans -- versus their own, but i do see, an attempt on part of senate while they do rae taxes, i'm never a fan of that. they don't deal with additional income tax hikes, that lead niece believe there is a correctioner there for commensurate to satisfy boy? >> i think there is their first offer, it will have to be democrats who compromise more. if you want to look into a crystal ball. if is no coincidence that handful of democratic senators who voted against senate budget were up for reelection next year. they know that their constituents and the country is not going for a $1 trill

what does it say?ty has been found by this phone number. >> what goes through your mind when you see an ipod on the ground here? >> i know how upset i would be if i lost mine. >> do you think if people are given the opportunity to be honest, that's what they would do? >> i'd like to think so. >> our search starts out strong but not for long. folks in d.c. seem too busy to care about my lost valuables. noticing the goodies but going on their way. this lady cares for a second. asked a couple if it's theirs and then puts it on a bench. the same could be said for this guy. he picks it up and then puts it back on the bench. we're at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. let's see how honest folks are as they tour around the white house. let the dropping begin. these folks find my camera, bring it to a police officer. he tells them to put it back where they found it. our next pickup, it appears this guy is a runner. but once again, the bungee comes through. you appeared to be in a had hurry but you stopped, which is a n

does everyone think that? have you got 50-degree-below-zero air blow over you, you're gonna get colder, not warmer? isn't that remarkable? [laugh] come on you, gang, there's nothing remarkable about that. but i'll show you a remarkable consequence of that. it turns to nine. we'll do it by incremental steps, nine degrees. the wind, eight, can you see that makes sense? where do we got to get to? zero, yeah? - zero. - okay. do anyone see something unusual here? let me ask you a question. if i take a rock and throw it in that lake, what's the rock gonna do? float. how many say, "oh, it will probably float"? [laugh] the rock is gonna sink, man. and why is the rock gonna sink? "well, that's characteristic of rocks, just to sink." come on, why does the rock sink? 'cause it's more dense than the water, right? how about this four-degree water? what's it gonna do, gang? beginning with an s, end with an ink. sink. sink. sink to the what? bottom. the bottom. here's your four-degree water down here. what takes its place? b

what does $2,000 mean to you? for a single mom, it could mean the difference between feeding her family or seeing her kids go hungry. for hardworking americans, it could mean the car payment or gas money or prescription drug money that you need to pay each and every month. but to the g.o.p. $2,000 is the amount they are taxing middle-class families in their quote-unquote new budget, the paul ryan bument. but not everybody has -- paul ryan budget. but not everybody has to pay more. the truth is in this budget if you're oil corporation corporation or taking jobs overseas or a yacht owner, you have nothing to fear with the g.o.p. budget. your lifestyle is totally secure. once again, working families will pay more so the rich can pay less. for the sake of middle-class americans, we must oppose the ryan budget. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman

she's got a proposal. >> does she give him a bottle of scotch? >> she's asking in her own if you like shrimp, then you're going to love sizzler's shrimp combos starting at just $9.99! four kinds of shrimp, seasoned just right and served in three new combinations. at sizzler! >>> i think once you get to a certain age, you stop caring about things like danger. venomous snakes, whatever. here we are in australia. an eastern australian brown snake made its way up here to the picnic area. it's hard to see at first. it's around where the birds are. a side note, an eastern australia brown snake is the number one most dangerous snake in australia. highly dangerous. bad temper, responsible for more deaths in australia than any other snake. a guy's got to go to the bathroom. when a man's got to go, a man's got to go. is this a joke? >> no way. he kicked it twice. >> he kicks it once to get it out of the path and it coils up looking like it's going to attack him. when it attacks, he boots it in the face. eventually, the snake is like, i think i've met my ma

does he go right of that? cain was the frontrunner, so is that what is required? that's what he seems to be hinting towards in the way he is reforming his position on immigration. >> i think that there are two things to unpack here, karen. one is jeb bush, the psychology of the bush -- the bush -- of the bush dynasty, but also, you know, his prospects in terms of 2016, but the other is actual immigration reform, and to my mind, look, jeb bush has been a leader on this. especially within his own party. there is a sense here that they need to move on immigration reform, but when you have someone like this who has been an outspoken advocate for a more humane series of reforms around immigration and he is sort of tacking back and forth, i think it undermines the work that the senate is doing to get some sort of sensible immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship. >> to some degree i think that's exactly the point. as martin said, now he salgts bit to the right of rubio, and i think there's a tension be

the general public does not have a modicum of intelligence. if people understood the biochemistry of the day down of glucose -- of the breakdown of glucose, one of the major and products as the building block of cholesterol. if we have had one-third of americans in our country who are moderately obese, obese. we need to be more intelligent and with young children -- those preteens and teens are being bombarded with soda commercials all the time. i am a teacher at a school and my students come to class with a soda in their hands. the impact of excess amount of sugar is destroying the health of our nation. as you know the major risk factors of obesity are hard attack, stroke, and even cancer. icily support major bloomberg's decision to keep this ban in place. it will reduce the health cost that is affecting our nation. host: you brought up a couple of points. "the hill" has this -- we go to bill >> in columbia, maryland. caller: good morning. as a libertarian i am opposed to the nanny state, all of the laws designed to protect us from ourselves.

does that make sense? a few molecules moving very fast can exert as much pressure as a greater number of molecules moving slowly. so i'm reducing the number of molecules in there. what if i cool this very suddenly? shall we try it again? what happened to these cans, gang? let's try one more time. look at these cans. some people say, "oh, the cans are sucked in." cans ain't sucked in. what's happening to those cans? check your neighbor, what's happening to those cans? now when you try that tonight, gang, you're gonna want some explanation. a nice explanation will wait until we get up to heat and get up to condensation. when we get up to the idea that when steam condenses, okay, it loses volume. but for now, a first order explanation would just be that in here there is heated air. and heated air means not so many molecules. but the pressure inside the can is actually a little bit more than the pressure outside. can you see evidence of that? see the steam coming out. so the pressure is building up because the

discipline does not mean austerity. discipline does not mean runaway stimulus either.heating is not good for you, this one is a long-term focus. and so my favorite example of what fiscal discipline really means is a simple story. go back to the ant and the grasshopper. when times are fleshy saves so that he has money when times a link. a great example of this. compare chile to the united states. in 2000 with a record budget surplus, $236 billion in 2001. what we do with it? we actually gave that surplus back so that when we needed the money we did not have it. the big surplus in 2008, and takes great pleasure from the population to spend that. this is money for rainy day. when the crisis in 2009 they're able to cut taxes. lou: the beneficiary of a great free trade relationship with its powerful north american country known as the united states as well. we don't have that. we do have the advantage of having intelligent people running a government. what in the world are these fools doing? because this is nothing more than abject, we are pursuing is fiscal policy in this

he understands that does look to the 20th-century.ayshe most prosperous countries are always the most free. and the message of essentially constitutionality, individual rights, that is tremendously bullish for the market. bullish for the economy. tting the nail on the head. the fact that everything investors are seeing that we had a sequestered. this guy did not fall. there is still more work to be done in terms of cutting the size of government and going the size of the private economy. neil: that might have been something that job in the republicans lap. fearing that this was going to boomerang on them. it hasn't. it has emboldened them to get their backbone back. >> it does seem like that is the case. i was as ceo summit last week. time and they understood that more spending mes down the road bad things for the economy. more government spending because they know that as ceo, the company has to pay for it in terms of taxes are the customers do. neil: the stocks keep going up in t face of that. i know its ben bernanke and all that st

does he want to be recognized? does he want to be rewarded on a mainstream level? you think that is there? >> it's hard to know. i think he's obviously interested in his legacy. he is redefining what a vice president does after his administration -- >> jon: he had this whole thing that he exists in the vapors of our government. it was crazy. >> it was a whole new

when your friends are far away, does it really help to put your hand like that? does it? yes, it does. okay? ask a rabbit. what's a rabbit doing all the time, right? yeah. the bigger the ears, the better you can hear. does it help to go like this? "hello, you guys." yeah, it does too. you're--like a megaphone, yeah? for the ear too. okay. so what you're doing is you're getting more energy in the air at nighttime than you are in the day 'cause the sound is being bent. the waves are being bent. we don't say waves bend because one part is going faster than another. we have a name for that. what's it called, gang? - refraction. - refraction. we say the wave is refracted. one part is going faster than the other because of a speed change. what underlies the phenomenon of refraction? some people say, "what? you gotta have a speed change there somewhere." what do you say? begin with y and with p. try it. yup. yup. and that's true. so refraction is a change in the direction of a wave by virtue of a speed change. refraction. sound refracts like this. does that have something to do

does but it does eliminate the imported benefits and patient protections -- this budget does eliminate the important benefits and pay some protections in obamacare. it will eliminate the benefits or tax credits to afford health care in the exchanges. it will eliminate tax credits for small businesses. but it keeps the rest. it keeps all the parts the reduce the deficit -- the parts that reduce the deficit. we were told last fall than those savings would result of the dow hospitals shutting down, nursing homes shutting down in a parade of other horrible consequences. those scare tactics were not true then and they're not true today. that is what all those says -- all those savings are included in this budget for us today. remember all the tax revenues in obamacare? those higher income individuals and in industries that will benefit from obamacare expanding coverage -- all those taxes and revenues are includedare includn budget. in fact, a dirty little secret is this budget would not balance if not for the medicare savings and revenues, in obamacare. look at this chart here. in the 10th

does it not? x you can say that about any of you. >> you canant -- say that about any of these. >> i just want to get to the facts. it increases the baseline spending above what we projected, over a trillion dollars. yes or no? >> the sequester was set up to be a failsafe. it was always meant to be replaced. it was meant to backstop the work of the joint committee. -- that matter >> i would just remind us all that we are asking them technical questions. let's let them respond. >> i am just asking a simple question, a technical question here and i need a simple answer. not politics,rs not what you thought the sequester was or might be and was never intended to be. it was signed by the president of the united states. it was passed by the congress of the united states. and if you don't adhere to that, spending above the current baseline of over $1 trillion. yes or no? x true, but i would say that -- mr. would say also that ryan -- >> where do you get the race for $1 trillion in new spending? >> again

i never found it does. i think you go out and all you do, just sit there while they show their naked legs and act like they're funny and good dancers and horse singing and a lot of crap. then they spend all of their time trying to be funny. and i think it's best for you all to just embrace bobby and wrap him up and go on and live with him and have good time and then take reagan too. chris: don't think he wanted to hear bobby kennedy would be there. since that year, other presidents ducked the gridiron, including barack obama last year when he was campaigning and might not have loved the idea of hanging out with a bunch of reporters in white tie . when we come back, new documentary on dick cheney. does he have second thoughts? not a chance. plus, "scoops an predictions" from the notebooks. seeker. >> that's our fight every day to get the facts straight. chris: welcome back. a new dick cheney documentary that will air on showtime this friday night. here's part of the trailer. >> what do you consider your main

i will skip the staff update because it does not matter. (inaudible) was given a suspension and the likelihood of appeal was high and in fact they did appeal the suspension. the permit holder, or the staff member, we have not had one of these short terms suspensions appealed yet and so we have not done this before, so we are trying to figure out how to agendaize in front of you. i want you to know that we may need to call a special hearing because we don't have another regular hearing between now and april second and you can see that it is going to be very busy. be aware that if i can come to some figure on how to bring this to you i might be requesting a special hearing. >> how many warning do you have to give? >> these are questions that i am waiting on for the city attorney and this is a due process issue but i will let you know as soon as possible. you do want us to take the stuff out of the legislation and take them home and out of the books >> absolutely. take them home. >> i need a copy of that. >> it is not in your book. >> you know

. >> a clear indication of the size of that deck and it does extend into the rear yard as does the property extends into the rear yard. it is not only a fire escape as you look here, this extends back and there is a deck on top. the large portion of this extends the rear yard. and i stated that. that this does not extend into the rear yard i am just pointing out that it is an adjacent neighbor that has direct access to the private open space. in my estimation it is in the rear yard and it is relatively in the rear yard, that is the common to all areas, all of the structures because it is 20 and a half feet of a blank wall. as far as the directions, here is the occasional of how much shadow is being cast? >> i am sorry. >> okay. >> okay. so this is a diagram of the proposed deck. and you can see this on the shadow that is being cast on my clients' property and so as far as the mislabeling of the directions, i mean i was aware of that early on and i did not address it, i did not think that it had much impact on to any of the site conditions, as you can see there is a tremendous amount of shad

that does not exist, that is nothing new. the oldsides applying gang. republicans know that this is nonsense, equally on both sides. the only person who can solve that is the president, who can go out and say that we will stop doing the usual stuff lying about the numbers. the reason we have to do this is because it is so hard and we have to be honest. >> charles mentioned the president's polls but a new abc news poll, and he had an 18- point lead over republicans handling the economy to just a four-point advantage. congress is down there with saddam hussein and gaddafi and popularity, except that the other guys, being dead, don't really care. congress does. the president has to do the charm offensive because he got cocky. he won the election and he crushed republicans on the fiscal cliff, and he tried to do it on sequester. sequester, the way he pushed it, was a mistake. he overshot with talk of the apocalypse, which exposed and to ridicule. but then he acted so cynically with the biggest example being the shutting down of t

does the dog, as soon as he or she is at the door, sniff and sit or sniff and not sit, or does the dog -- i mean, you've talked about the sniff is immediate. what -- what is the 5 to 10 minutes? >> the 5 to 10 minutes as i read the record was the whole process. the -- the dog sniff i think took seconds or maybe a minute or 2 minutes >> and the whole process is -- is what? >> that they were -- that they met at the front gate, that they were walking up to the -- to the door, that the dog did the sniff, that the -- that he talked to the other officer, and then he went back to his car, which was parked i think some some length of time away. so -- >> it doesn't take the 5 to 10 minutes to walk to the door. so the officer walks to the door, the dog sniffs right away and then? >> well, the dog sniffs. he has to find the strongest source of the odor. so he starts sniffing right away. he sniffs around for a few seconds, he finds the strongest source of the odor and he sits down at that place. >> where -- where in the -- where in the record do i find the few seconds point? >> well, i think the -

he says he does not not why the fire started. according to reports, this house was destroyed and the house next door suffered thousands of dollars in damages. if you look closely, you can see the neighbor's home on fire. apparently two cars were also damaged. we hear firefighters approaching and when they arrive, it takes them about 30 minutes to control this fire. and they did save the two cats inside. >> oh, good for those firefighters. love they go in and even rescue cats. >>> we've seen dogs surf, we've seen monkeys ride on the backs of pigs. but a pig surf, never seen that until now. i give you zorro. >> the pig is six weeks old and surfing for three weeks in new zeala zealand. that man matthew bell. his family raises pigs. he skwaelz whqueals when he is good time. the surf board has a built of a modification. burlap and some go for him to stan on. not like he is staying in one spot. >> the best suchers learn when they are very young. >> he is only do it for a few months, then he'll be too big and maevehvy. >> then and dream

i think even if it does not fit the formula ordinance, i think that needs to be tweaked. and i have spoken to the small business commissioners and i may also and some members of the board of supervisors that needs to be reviewed. but this other matter that commissioner fung raises, as far as the common sense, i am not an, engineer, we are very much focused on the seismic safety and building the new terminals and i feel that that point needs to be explored because just common sense tells me if you are fixing little bit here what about the rest of the building? i think that it is logical that the imbalance and what is going to do to the building is at risk and i hope that you will consider that. >> next speaker, please? >> thank you commissioners, my name is beverly and i represent the independence of the fillmore area where my store has been for the last 26 years. while i understand the obvious appeal, of land lords, in renting to large, well financed formula stores, mainly for higher rents, i am here to focus on the value of the independent store owners. those without cor

and i believe that the change in color and detailing does it quite well. i am intrigued looking at the diagram and seeing the dialogue between the two sides. >> commissioner antonini. >> mr. baker, i like the darker one better than -- i agree with you, but how about gray? [laughter] >> cool gray city of peace and love, you know. it's something to think about -- >> [speaker not understood]. there's no lime green, i just want to say. >> anyway, we do have a lot of buildings that have a gray hinge to them. >> it's a diverse city. >> that's fine. i think i've got a couple questions on the project. first of all, i think this is a great idea for the boys and girls club. a lot of kids play a lot of games at i think l -- ingold and you can never park there. you have a chance of parking this part of the city. upper haight is a tough place to park. so, that might be better because they'll have a inchand they'll ~ gym and they'll play a lot of games there. i assume the sponsor didn't want to have parking. these are market rate units. so, i just don't -- are they for

why does congress have to fix any problem immediately? >> i would like to hear the answer to the question. >> ok. the answer, justice kennedy, is congress cannot arbitrarily pick out states. congress has to treat each state with equal dignity. it has to examine all the states. the teaching of katzenbach is that when congress has done that kind of examination, it can devise a formula even if it understands that that formula will not apply across all 50 states. >> well, the formula that has -- >> so we accept katzenbach. but in terms of just picking out states and saying, i'm going to look at you and i'm going to look at you, no, that --that does not protect the equal dignity of the states. >> well, mr. rein, the formula that -- that is applied right now, under that formula covered jurisdictions, which have less than 25% of the nation's total population, they account for 56 percent of all successful published section 2 lawsuits. if you do that on a per capita basis, the successful section 2 lawsuits, four times higher in covered jurisdictio

i do believe, and then may the only one in does, that government does have a role in certain portionsf the economy in the private sector and the engine of growth. we're going to have a $2 trillion clean energy market globally by 2020. china is doing a lot through their government and many other countries are. we're going to need the government to place some kind of a role in getting a piece of that 2 trillion. neil: you just said there would be a $2 trillion market and then he just say that we need government to do that. if there is $2 trillion to be made covina dozens of want to pursue a bill out there and make that product to do it. to say that we need the government to come in because will be a growing market is asinine. if there is money to be made people here in america, let them free of regulation. >> first of all, look, try not to describe other people's thoughts as asinine. that's pretty rude and uncalled for. more importantly, i don't subscribe to your libertarian philosophy. i am a pro-market democratic believes that the private sector and the engine of growth thrall of vehi
