what information is the doj asking the state for? >> that's right, erin. just the latest flash between the federal government and states that have designed laws to step up enforcement against illegal immigration. on tuesday, civil rights division for the department of justice issuing a letter to the state of alabama school districts asking them to prove that they are not denying access for public education to students that have an immigrant status. among the things they are asking for in this letter is a list of students by ethnicity, by racial breakdown. they want to know how many students have officially withdrawn from the alabama school district. and one last thing, erin, they are asking for a list of all students that have enrolled or are part of english language training programs. erin? >> that's what they are going to give in those numbers tomorrow? that's your expectation? we'll get all of that? >> there's a list coming out from the alabama state department of education. it's very different from what the doj is asking the school districts to comply.

the doj is saying that's what's going to happen.of alabama said i don't want that to happen. but what is your evidence. what have you got that's leading you believe we are kick can hispanic students out or leading them to a place where they believe they can't show up to school. what is that evidence? >> that's where this case has stopped. it's sort of at a standstill. i don't think the doj provided evidence there is an actual problem. megyn: but there are news reports. >> i think the doj is trying to talk out of both sides its mouth. they are saying we don't want you to gather this information but we want you to give it to us so we can see if there is a problem. megyn: is this a slippery slope for the federal government and state governments to be involved in a battle like this and for the feds to start poking directly into the state administrative system? given the constitutional separation of powers, the feds and the states. the states rights. for them to be able to do this to poke you directly in your state administrative agencie

do the doj or ever would prosecute a customs and border patrol agent for sharing information when the intention to see if something seized is or is not counterfeit? >> we have discretion, and it's hard to imagine such a case, but to the extent that impediment exists between the sharing of that information and begin the need for a public-private partnership to deal with these issues that that might be a legislative fix that perhaps we could discuss and somehow deal with it. we're only going to be successful in this if we have the government working with the private sector to deal with these issues. we can't do it alone. we can't do it alone in government. the private sector can't do it alone as well to the extent there's bear your -- barriers to information sharing, we have to knock them down. >> thank you. i'm happy to work with you on finding a fix, and i think we are hand strung in border enforcement on the vital issues. last, as part of the cr to fund the government of fy11, many programs took deep cuts, especially hard hit in my view designed to support state and local law enforce

that's not what doj did here, and they got caught red-handed.egyn: you know, it's interesting, because even in the course of a normal litigation if i'm the state attorney general and you're the federal attorney general and you want something from me that'll help prove your case, you've got to go through me. i'm the lawyer for the state, i'm representing, essentially, these school districts. but that's not what happened here. >> reporter: and a judge will normally spank that individual, here the doj, for directly trying to contact the other side without counsel. megyn: you know, but yesterday we talked about this, and the lawyer -- or the advocate who was making the doj's case said it's different here because the doj, the federal government, i should say, oversees certain education initiatives and, therefore, does have direct communications with these state departments of education. the wrinkle here is there happens to be a litigation. >> reporter: right. you've got to go to the judge first and ask for this information, that's the right way to do

you can see why some are asking the doj why wouldn't say you were sorry? the doj didn't bless t was atf. >> bill: everybody who watches tonight realize he didn't look good in that sequence. he could say look i do feel terrible about it and i would like to apologize on behalf of the united states government. >> justice department. not him personally. there is no proof that he approved it. >> bill: he hasn't even talked to the family, okay? that's something he should have done as the head of the justice department when a border -- when any agent is killed in this country the attorney general should get on the phone. >> homeland security overseas the border patrol. but his organization, doj oversees atf and atf out of phoenix are the ones that did this operation. >> bill: he has a connection to them as well. and he should have done it. now, let's go to michael jackson's doctor. no surprise here. only surprise is that a california jury, if you are ever going to be tried for anything, try to get it into california. >> not bad a place. >> very, very hard to make

is the doj wrapping up efforts? d.c. need for more -- d.c. a need for more resources -- do you see a need for more resources? >> given what is at stake, this is an area that we have to focus on. this is an area that will require -- i do with limited numbers of people. some decisions need to be made by me, hopefully along with members of congress to deal with these issues. it is not too much to say that the future of this nation is dependent in part on how we resolve the issues that you are raising. >> the customs and border patrol has interpreted the trade secrets act to bar it from sharing with trademark rights holders related to seized goods foot counterfeit -- that could be counterfeit. there is a hearing today. many of the campus may be examined but they are not consulting with sources and a think it could be possible to more rapidly determine whether what they're intercepting is counterfeit or not. would the doj prosecute and aged for sharing information where the intention is to certify whether something receipt is or is not counterfeit

remember we told you the doj now r reversing its story a bit.vernor of new jersey for four years, once considered a candidate for the secretary of the treasury. today john corsyn could be facing time behind bars. president obama heading to the economic summit. greece made a move that could threaten the world economy. may not be a photo op for the president. what's better than gold ? free gold ! we call that hertz gold plus rewards. you earn free days, free weeks and more fast. that's a plus. upgrade your ride. that's a plus. rewards with no blackout dates so you can redeem anytime. and it's easy to redeem your points online. already a gold member ? just select gold plus rewards in your profile and start rewarding yourself now. just go to hertzgoldplusrewards.com to join. hertz gold plus rewards. journey on. megyn: they say lightning doesn't strike twice. this is one bizarre could he west dense. this gulf stream private jet skidded off the runway while attempting to land at key west interest nation until airport last night. investigators say the

but for american players, like shawn, they'll have to apply to the doj to get their money back.ted the deal. >> i try not to get my hopes up. i consider that money lost and if i get it back, it will be a nice bonus. >> reporter: i think the general feeling is, okay, well, people can't play the games that they like online anymore. for you, it was a lot more than that. this was your livelihood. >> this was my job, yeah. i feel like my job has been taken away from me right now. this is my source of income for the past four years. >> reporter: shawn is not alone. according to h2 gambling capital, about 8% of u.s. online poker players or about 35,000 people in this country, made a living off the game. now many of them have moved abroad where online poker is alive and well. what did you use your winnings for? >> everythin my car, rent, tuition now, all my bills, computer, everything i use, everything i own pretty much i bought in the past few years has been through poker winnings. this was my office basically. i would sit here, you know, i bought a nice desk. >> reporter: what was you

i think the doj is making an incredible mistake. i think our city government should not shy away from the fact that the war on drugs in this country has been an abysmal failure. if it continues, especially given 16 states in the united states who have adopted prop. 215-type regulations, then what we are doing is retreating from a position that has been affirmed by the voters of california multiple times, and affirmed by the people of san francisco. i support this resolution, which is symbolic. it articulates our support for something that has been on the books for approximately 16 years in the city and county of san francisco's. -- city and town of san francisco. i think this showdown could be avoided if they would reform the categorization of marijuana as a class one of violation, which has been a terrible mistake for a long time. president chiu: roll-call vote. supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor weiner: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. preside

please, doj, stand down. i urge you. people in high places, please protect medical cannabis. thank you very much. [applause] supervisor avalos: thank you. if there are no other members of the public who would like to comment -- anyone else, please come forward. >> how low. i just wanted to quickly say that i mirror the sentiment of my colleagues. thank you. supervisor avalos: ok. seen no other member of the public who would like to comment on item number one, we will close public comment. supervisor campos, any other comments? ok. this is before us. can we move it forward with recommendations and take that without objection? this will be moving forward as a committee report to tomorrows full board meeting. very good. thank you very much. [applause] madam clerk, please call item number two. >> item two, resolution supporting the occupy wall street protest movement and urging major lead to a poll people's right to peaceful assembly and collaborate with occupysf to ensure the safety of the protesters, their supporters, and a greater public and the city and county of san francisc

remember, the sec can impose civil penalties and make recommendations to the doj. i did not mean to overemphasize that, but i do not mean to minimize it, either. my experience in san diego tells me that decent people that were trying to do the wrong thing had their careers ended by simply a lack of attention. i have been trying to carry that message here, and we will see how it goes. in any event, this is the official statement. material information is what we will include. the investor is the centerpiece of this. we will tell our story. we will tell a story about what we are financing, risk factors associated with that. obviously, you could have a fall-off in mta revenues, but the big risk factor is seismic -- a calamity event. that is the real big one, at which held that, and our disclosure there runs across -- you know, is consistent across all of our enterprises to the city. so financial information, litigation. so what we would like you to do in reviewing the official statement is to the extent that you have knowledge in your capacity as board members about a

they paid $950 million to settle charges both civil and criminal brought by the doj including the probeo vioxx used to promote basically rheumatoid arthritis treatments. so far they paid nearly $6 billion in litigation settlements. elsewhere, netflix, things go from bad on worse. the shares dropped as much as 7% in the session, basically they've lost a number of customers who are very upset about the splitting up of the business and the raising of prices and basically this has caused them to warn about a loss in 2012. the shares in this company once at $300 earlier this year traded down as low as $69 in the prior session. but tough times ahead perhaps for met fliks. back to you. >> amazing slide. off 63% in just the last year. thanks so much. we appreciate it. there's some amazing video to show you from new zealand. this has a happy ending where a television station captured a terrifying accident. wow. helicopter was installing a christmas tree display when its blades clipped a cable. chopper's back end snapped in half sending the aircraft crashing to theot was shaken up walked away wit

please, doj, stand down. i urge you. people in high places, please protect medical cannabis.nk you very much. [applause]

is the doj ramping up its efforts to enforce the economic espionage act? do you se see a need for more statutory or financial resources in light of this report? >> i think it is a priority for the department, but i do think that even in these tough economic times and given the nature of the threat and what's at stake, both for the safety of this nation and for its economic well being, that this is an area we have to focus on. this is an area that will require, as i do with limited numbers of people, some decisions have to be made by others in the department. hopefully with the support of members of congress to ramp up our abilities to do with, deal with these issues. it is not too much to say, it is not an overstatement, not hyperbolic to say the future of this nation is really dependent on in part how we resolve the issues that you are raising. >> on a related point, the customs and border patrol, at least in my view, has interpreted the trade secrets act from sharing with trademark rights holders even photos or documents or samples related to seize goods

interested both politically and economically in a functioning europe at doj that have economic interest as easily as forty percent of our export goes to the european union and beyond if those countries are hit by a price is germany or secondly or the lesson we learned in the past and our prospects for the future dictate that germany is not strong enough geopolitical to play a significant role in a game where the u.s. is one superpower and an asian leader. in this case china is the other new european students and the only one thousand you are going to take a noble like that if that's why germany is interested in him knighted us out just for not just because of the past or theater for the sake of our senses and its future after two conference a lot of being to small question many germans many people in. finns are angry at having to pay. or they roll that's enough for it see and i can understand that but i have to explain it very consistently to the current generation of illogical it is clear that it's within our own interests to maintain stability in other countries as germany is a nation
