>> well, we need to quit doing what we've been doing. it's obvious that the stimulus, borrowing all know money and spending it basically on government employees, didn't do any good. if you talk to business people and bill daily the president's chief of staff did recently you find out their biggest complaint is overregulation. you know, the federal government with that stimulus money hired a quarter of a million new employees. these people are busily at work trying to regulate every aspect of american life. health care, financial services, through the environmental protection agency. really sort of bureaucrats on steroids that are freezing up the private sector and making it very difficult, bob, for them to grow and expand. you've seen the reports that they have $2 trillion in cash. the reason they're not investing that in hiring more people is the government has made it very expensive to expand employment. >> schieffer: do republicans have any plans to do anything on the unemployment front or are you just going to let things take their c

do you have joint pain? do you have a butterfly rash? fatigue is the biggest complaint of lupus patients. is there hair loss? do you feel like you have the flu? >> you're fighting it. tell us about how you're doing and how you fought it so far. >> well, thank you. the first thing i did was when i was diagnosed i took the advice of my doctors and went within a medication program that was recommended to me. that did happen to be immuno suppress sents. i incorporated a mindful, smart diet and exercise that's easy to low, low impact and helps build strength in your muscles to take the weight off your tendons and joints. >> you're representing the lupus foundation but also have your own company and getting people in shape and making sure we're able to fight this. >> right, exactly, yeah. >> tell us about that. >> that's a lot of fun. together we like to come together and listen to good music and do lightweights, but also low-impact aerobics which will get your heart up and help you burn calories but at the same time do what is important which

we need to get legislation to do it. if you can do it, you have to direct them to do this. these are health and safety issues. these are not issues of [inaudible] this is health and safety. i aske you, how many days which you like to go without heat, when during that time the high temperature was 54 degrees? i am asking the commission. what is a reasonable time to repair no heat, or no hot water or electricity? commissioner lee: why don't we do this. this topic seems to -- why don't you have a seat and sit in on the next item and see what is being discussed. how we handle the notice of violations. >>item 5. update on dbi's notice of violation (nov) procedures, including follow up. is there any additional public comment on item 4? seeing none, public comment is closed. we are now on item five. >> good morning, commissioners. ed sweeney. director of inspection services. i will give you a brief overview of the complaints, what generally happens to them. if i can get it up on the screen. all the complaints, of course, start as a complaint. they can be landlord-tenant, such as t

you do not really get to do that when you run citywide. i enjoyed campaigning more because i had time to meet voters individually, and i loved it. i really enjoyed being out on the field. i spent all lot of time doing it. which i thought was important -- both for me because i get a deeper understanding of what people care about, and what people loved about the district and the city, and i think it was better for our community that i was out there one on one. >> what are the biggest issues for san francisco right now? supervisor kim: economic development. that is the biggest issue for san francisco and the country. our economy is not in the best place that it could be. we really do see that people want to see more jobs for everybody. second, it is probably a myriad of issues. for our district, and think public safety issues -- ranging from low-level crime to larger public safety issues. we held our first hearing on pedestrian public safety in district 6. we learned that san francisco has the highest rate of vehicle pedestrian collisions in

we do need to do something about that. streamlining the permit process and reaching out to our small businesses and doing all that we can to demystify the red tape that city hall often places on this. >> are there any out which activities in your district better working well? >> i was with the west portal merchants yesterday morning. i think it is my job to be as responsive to the businesses in the district as it is to be to the constituents. i am the face of city hall. i need to be accessible, open, and responsive. i can help clear up a lot of the red tape for them. >> is there anything particularly special about serving in the district where you grew up that informs some of the things you take on us supervisor? >> it is very special. one example i like to cite is 18th avenue. there is a restaurant called the gold mirror. i went to school with the chef when we were seven. he said that it was too unsafe for the customers. i got a stop sign in there for him. being able to do little things like that for people i grew up with

they do not. if you look at the numbers, the latest numbers or even look at the report on stateofthemedia.org, you will see that well over 60% of americans will cite television as their primary source of news. also, more and more americans are spending more time in transit, so they are either in their cars or on public transportation, so they are listening. the role of radio cannot be discounted either. but again, there have been many ways to try to attract young readers. more recently, have you seen the vice guides to everything? it is a cross between ntt -- mtv's "jackass" and "60 minutes," targeted at an 18 to 25 demographic, which a lot of people in this industry are trying to reach. there are a lot of things out there in terms of investigative journalism that are trying to target younger people that are very creative, but just going back to your point about not reading or getting your news online, people are very lazy, you know? a lot of us do not even want to read, do not have time to read.

not do this.t: what is the format for the meeting with the president? guest: we're having our conference meeting as i speak. i am sure the discussion will be about that. where do at the white house at 10:00 a.m. this morning. we're having our conference at 9:00 a.m. that discussion is going on right now. host: thank you for missing it and speaking with us. do you plan to ask the president any questions? guest: there will be 242 other hands in the air. host: the caller referred to jon huntsman. he said the debt ceiling must be raised but it must include spending cuts to raise the debt ceiling. what do you make of jon huntsman possibly running for president? guest: he has been president obama's ambassador to china. he has explained that. that is a credit to him. former governor of utah. someone with a lot of curb appeal as a chief executive of the state of utah. i think he would be a very viable candidate. the idea he expressed about a budget and how he would do it medicare reform is kind of similar

we do not have to do that. states may make different decisions about how they balance their state budget, and that is up to them. on the federal level, we do not have to do either one of these things. blogs do blogs -- what you read? >> i read talking points. a lot. i read what gregg's sergeant does. sgt does. >> i can pretty much say what i want. >> i would say that -- as challenging as it makes my job, the democratization of the media, on any given day, any person you as an internet connection can make an impact on the country, has something that has been very powerful and important for our country. >> the only have a couple of minutes left. here is a question that i want to wrap up with. you are going to go back to washington. you'll be talking to people at the white house. they will say, how was it? you have been here and you have listened and you have talked. what are you going to tell the white house about how a leftist feeling right now? >> there are a lot of people in this room who care about the presid

they remind me why i am doing this and why you are doing what you can do. not everybody needs to do the same thing. the words to the closing song of the olympics said, "life can be a challenge. lichens seem impossible. it is never easy when there is so much on the line, but you can make a difference. there is a mission just for you and me and you -- just look inside and you will find just what you can do." when all of us look inside and ask ourselves what we can do and we all collectively bring our energies together in the greatness that built this nation, the same spirit that this nation to some of its toughest times, we will be able to get this nation off of the wrong track and back on the right track. you see, the founding fathers, they did their job. when they concede those principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the declaration of independence, which inspired the constitution. but they were also wise enough and had enough foresight that when they got to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, they did not stop right there, the

it is not to say that we do not all do wrong. and we all do, certainly.n this case they had started looking into the young ladies background. to try to discredit him. where is the honesty and integrity? america, we need to get back to honesty and integrity. i am retired military. if this had happened in the military, he would have been forced to resign. he would have been taken out of command. it is unfortunate that we would even have to talk about this. personal responsibility, we have to get back to it. host: this message from twitter -- host: glen, michigan, is up next. caller: good morning, c-span. good morning, america. the last few people took my thunder. in my country what i see is that we have been taken advantage of. the apology role has been taken advantage of. whenever a person in the public eye messes up they think they can go before a camera and apologize. we are not expecting -- accepting policies any more. -- of policies any more. when they screw up, we get them out. host: uso, $12 trillion. this is from "usa today" this morning. host: as a

do you know? do you keep a handle on them?ow that part. >> i do know but i don't like to discuss money. >> why? >> i don't know. it's something my mom always taught me. it sound obnoxious when people do that. >> the most recent thing i read says you make about $10 million a year. i would imagine it's more than that, isn't it? >> yes. >> don't talk about money or politics. >> is it a lot more? >> i do very well for myself. i'm very proud of what i've done. >> don't talk about money or politics, your mother says. >> both. >> that's extraordinary that you're making just like this absurd amount of money. >> i feel really proud of what i've accomplished. >> what is brand paris? if you were pitching it to me? what is that? what do you personify? >> fashion, fun, excitement and amazing products. i really am passionate about every single thing i do. and i really believe in everything. and i've worked really hard to achieve all this. >> and do you know what you're worth? i mean, do you keep a close eye on the money? >> that i bet she d

if you have -- if it leaks, what do you do? you get drafts, what do you to? -- do? you take the window out, you can reglaze, put new glass in it but you don't take the whole thick and throw it away. there's -- thing and throw it away. there's no need. take them out, take them to a reglazing shop, clean up the frame, tighten it up and put it back in. it's a green building practice, too, rather than requiring you to take this 100-year-old functioning thing and throw it away and put in some temporary vinyl clad thing that's going to last 10 or 20 years if you're lucky and have to throw that away again. now, it's possible by the way to take these windows and increase the steps of the rabbit and put that thin double glaze in there. i've heard of people doing. that i've never actually seen it done but i hear it's possible. have you ever seen that done? where people put the dual glazing in existing -- >> we do it all the time. we try to -- the positive is that you cut down noise, but you can do the same thing with a lambnant window and you cut down energy loss. the problem

not like it, what do you do? go back to the voters. supervisor kim: thank you very much. >> thank you very much. supervisor kim: supervisor wiener has a question. supervisor wiener: if i recall correctly, the ban on tic's that the voters rejected and then the board adopted that ban, overriding the mayor's veto. do you recall? >> i do not recall passing that same ban. on my tombstone, it will say mctic forever. it is something that was a piece of legislation. it was a different piece of legislation. it had to do with reduced equities and kinds of ownership. it opened up the possibilities of certain kinds of ownership and that is a different piece of legislation. we can look at that with more detail. i will come to your office and we will dig up the legislation. supervisor wiener: i invite you to do that. they may not have been identical to an american election is that the voters explicitly rejected a ban -- my recollection is that the voters explicitly rejected a ban. >> are you saying that the board was then empo

i do not want to say, do not do this. to live instead. -- do that instead. when we see the numbers of the money and how we are spending it, it brings of the questions we should be discussing at other times of the year, and i hope we will do that, and i agree philosophically that we are fortunate in that we have fairly large amount of money comes from a former desegregation, and not all districts have thought, so we have a more significant portion of here three money that we could use but do not want to, because that is how we focus on our issues of low achievement, etc., so i am glad we are not looking at all of our dollars or what we used to be related to the authority and access rules us something we should use everywhere, because i do not think we should. i think we have a lot of agreement that we want to use whatever resources are available to focus on equity issues. what i am more interested in doing, even though it is a smaller amount of money, some time as we prepare for this action in the coming year is to say, tell me why we chose certain things to

we need to do it cleaner, better, more cost-effective. we can do that. the same time we met with secretary salazar on offshore wind. we have tremendous opportunities in biomass and biodiesel. we are looking to turn tobacco and other things into biodiesel to drop the cost of gasoline, at least in the short run. i think it is going to take a tremendous effort to get regulations and laws out of d.c. what is happening in washington and its impact on coal producing states has been terrible. it has been all the regulatory process these, so we have asked for help with all of these policies, comprehensive, but we have to have some policy with traditional fuels. >> one of my biggest concerns is what they are doing with regards to boeing. one of the of vintages we have in florida is we are a right to work with -- one of the advantages we have had in florida is we are right to work state, but if they allow companies to move to right to work states and not worry about individual's writes who are not a member of the union, it is going to have a devastating affect on

i do not want to do that. i definitely want to make san francisco a booming place for fashion, and i know it is going to happen. i have confidence in that, but there should be more creativity and stuff like that. music, for example. the city is definitely going to come around to that more. and i know technology is definitely going to advance that. they should be both up there with each other because it is definitely happening. >> yes, i also think similarly to them. bring more classes to the school. most of the classes in the school are like teachers and students -- they do not really communicate outside of the class. we h more classes like cooking class, you could interact with your teacher and do practical stuff at the same time. i also think that more stricter teachers -- usually, a lot of teachers do not really bring most of the students' ability. if you have stricter teachers, students will need to realize that they need to bring their best in the teacher's class. >> some class for international kids. for

we do not have to do that. states may make different decisions about how they balance their state budgets, and that is up to them to do. on the federal level, we do not need to do either one of these things to balance our budget. >> i read talking. memos, daily cos, greg sargent on "washington post," and i read a lot of people here. and i would say, as challenging as it sometimes makes my job, the democratization of the media that on any given day, any person with an internet connection to make a real impact on the country, it is something that has been very powerful and important for our country. >> we only have a couple of minutes left. here is a question i want to get your reaction, you're going back to washington. you're going to be talking to people in the white house. and it will ask our things on the progress of left. what are you going to tell the white house about how the leftist feeling right now? >> it will not surprise a lot of them. there are a lot of people in this room who care about the presiden

before you start, what do you do? stop, look, listen and think. any time you pull up to an incident or you see something, you take a breath, assess the situation, use all your senses and think about what you are going to do. those are all components of what we call the size-up. there are many components to size up. what's one of the components to size up? gathering

and how do they do that? they do that by bringing community members together, different segments of the community together to identify local conditions that are important in their communities to address and then developing strategies where all of the different segments of the community work together to alleviate those problems. it's what americans do. you know, ivette, when there is a problem you get everybody together and you work together to solve it. and there are ways that you can do it effectively. and what we try to do at the institute is help communities actually do those things effectively. fran, do you have an example of a really good model of, you know, a prevention-prepared community? actually, yes, and jane and i work hand-in-hand on this. in between the federal government and our community coalitions, working through what we call the strategic prevention framework model. and basically what that means is that we teach communities, as jane has already mentioned, to do five different steps. and goin

what do we do as first responders. when we come up do we use our walkie talkies or radio? no. you go to a hard wire phone, call it in and get the information back because it may detonate that using the radio frequency. remember we talked about suspected terrorism is a stop sign for you as nerts. you do not want to get hurt. any questions on the terrorism? bnice is not nice. incident takes place, it takes place here on the left side, this is called the hot zone. you obviously want to be in the cold zone. first responders, we're going to come up to our staging area in the warm area and start moving to get to the incident. you want to be in what zone? the cold zone. uphill, upwind. you believe you have chemicals on your skin or clothing, obviously time is critical. remove everything from your body, wash your hands, flush your body with water. your safety is no. 1. direct contact with treating victims can expose you to contaminants. these people coming out of the bart might have been exposed to something, do you want to go and start touching them? do you want to let them leave? yo

that is the best way to do it. do not do your to your review your to your planning any more. it is not good enough. -- do not do year-to-year planning. it is not good enough. i will ask every department and agency to start planning five years in advance. [applause] supervisor campos: thank you, mr. mayor. one thought on that. i see some of the planning is difficult because of the way the budget process works. many of these organizations are on the chopping block every year. in a given year, they do not know if they will be around. it is important that we look at the long term. it is important to create continuity. we recognize a lot of these organizations are doing a lot with very little. they are doing things with that dollar that other agencies probably could not do. it is a balance. we look forward to continuing that discussion. next question? >> [speaking spanish] [applause] >> good evening, everybody. i work in the collective for women. >> [speaking spanish] [applause] >> it is difficult to hear about the budget cuts for the youth, families, housing. >> [speaking spanish

we do now? on the short term. we'll get to the debt sealing in a minute. >> where do we do now. there has been a huge subsequent event there has been a big political change. >> rose: youean the election of 2010. >> right t is even going to be more challenging to be able to do something in the short term if it is not coupled with something to deal with the structural problem. that is the reality. they're going to have to be coupled. >> re: of course, but do you think boehner and the republicans are right in terms of holding out and saying they are prepared to walk the plank? >> well, first, i think there's no question that we've got to raise the debt ceiling limit. and i can see way for reasoned and reasonable compromise to be able to do that. >> rose: is that what you expect to happen at the end of t day. >> a reasonable compromise. >> that's what i do. but then reasonable is in the eye of the beholder. how do you define reasonable. i expect some rational resolution will be had and it is importa

, but in many ways, we do not do it alone. we do it with partners, and that is the takeaway message, the sba lending activity, while would guarantee loans through a number of lenders, we do it with a lot of other partners as well. let me give a little bit of a sense of what the small business administration does and is. we in san francisco covered the bay area and north coast counties, and we do a variety of things. i will come back to the credit card because i know that is what this session is about, but before i do that, there's two other roles we play that are important as well. one is about helping small businesses understand how to start businesses, getting good technical assistance, getting good advice about starting and managing your business. equally important is being prepared for credit. one of the things we tried to do is work with small businesses to understand how to be ready for credit. a lot of that is helping folks that are interested in starting a business understand how to develop a business plan, how to get

you can do that, but do you have to deny yourself everything? i think if you have got financial planning like the kinds of expertise around here today, you can actually get the things you want, but you can set it up so that you still have a sound financial ability to pay for those things you want and keep your life going with a good financial foundation. you can form the things that you 1 years from now. the house or to be able to travel and do the things you want to do or have just a good education so you can open up your choices. i think it is no longer this generation when you deny yourself things. you can be smart about it, put things away in a good investments and get the things you want to do today. you can only do that if you learn how to manage and how to make sure you are not in debt. make sure you build an opportunity for yourself, and the skills out here with all the agencies we have to afford the opportunities. i want to share that with you. we're trying to be smarter with your money and your parents money and your taxes. we're tryin

do you see that you can do that?u divorce being a catholic with all that that means and all you stand for as a catholic? i'm a catholic. from running for high office. >> well, i think that you have to understand that we are not a religious democracy. that you know, we -- religion to me is a personal thing. and so you know, i have to make certain decisions. my decisions are going to be based -- made based on what i think is best for all the people of new jersey. now, my catholicism informs part of who i am. but it does not rule who i am. and so i -- >> i'll ask you what i asked him. and he refused to answer. >> okay. >> is homosexuality a sin? >> well, my religion says it's a sin. i mean, i think -- but for me i don't -- i've always believed that people are born with the predisposition to be homosexual. and so i think if someone is born that way it's very difficult to say then that that's a sin. but i understand that my church says that. but for me personally i don't look upon someone who's homosexual as a sinner. >>

how are you doing? doing fine, coach. because i want to live through you. i was taken aback. i would think that there might be some type of issues, but there was just support, you know? stepping out and doing something they love, and knowing about it, because, the fact they canan se it in the way they were traveling. i talk about it in the book, all the 20 countries, no matter how difficult it got, how many times i got kicked by a bull, got hit in the face by a surf board, you know, or got beat by 7-year-olds, i had a great time. >> jimmy: the bengals don't care, at all. by the way, ocho cinco is doing the same thing, but -- >> i think he's trying to follow in the foot steps. >> jimmy: he is ripping you off. >> he read the book. >> jimmy: you have talked to him about this? he played, what, soccer, right? >> already did it. >> jimmy: you had already done that. >> he rode the bull. i got kicked by the bull. >> jimmy: that's unacceptable. it really is. he has to do his own thing. >> it happens. >> jimmy: do you guys get alon

-- >> charlie: do you believe we have the capability to do that. >> i do believe we do because we always done it in the past. i personally think we need a third party we're caught in american politics which is for another sw. i hope this system blows it wide open and i hope the tea party -- >> found dationl auntistic, look ateople under 30. their social indicators a phenomenal. they're extremely hard working, responsible, community oriend generation. maybe the biggest mid life crises in human history in ten years. [laughter] they're very inspiring. secondly, we are still something that china will never be. we're a crossroads nation. people can come here from all over the world and magnify their tenants. talents. i've made a career making fun of all of the decline warning or the last 30 or 40 years but i'm more opt -- we have a duopoly every more incapable of function. and we have a middle aged problem. we have a book called the rise and decline of nations. as they become more middle age they become incrusted with arrangements and habs and things wch slow them down. i think th's happening

thank you for doing that. i still think that you can still do security without having to force people to have to completely out themselves and they go to certain clubs. most people behave themselves. i worked at a club. it is only a few people that caused this problem. to paint everybody that way by requiring expensive additions is wrong. thank you for your time. president newlin: just to clarify, neither the police department nor the entertainment commission has taken any steps forward to infringe on anybody's rights. there were just some ideas floated that maybe at some time will be aired. there will be analyzed. will see if there is any merit to any aspect of them. but as it stands now, it is unfair to characterize what the police department or the entertainment commission has been doing that -- has been doing as trying to take rights away our come down unreasonably on clubs, hindering their operations. ok. >> mark downey. i was quite surprised when i was on a national website that basically the stock tradi

if you think you cannot do it, you can do it. i should not be doing what i am doing because i am the son of a sheet metal worker here that is what my dad did. i should not have gone to college, but i did, and i am no smarter than many of you. in fact, i will work for many of you one day, i bet. what if i told you right now that i would give you $1 million? how many of you are up for that? we are not going to give it to you just yet. there is always a catch. here is the catch -- the difference in a lifetime of earnings between someone who gets a high-school diploma and gets an advanced college degree is about one -- $1 million. you may think that right now, you have to work, do not have time for college. you will earn $1 million more over the course of your lifetime -- we all have to work. by going to college. what i want you to think about today is the very first day of that million dollar pay check. right? we are going to get paid. i want to thank you for being here today. all the staff from the school district here, all the sta

how do you do that?ou look at countries like china, india, brazil and so on, the emerging superpowers, economic powerhouses, how should america deal with the threat they have never had to face before? >> talk about them. how successful they are, what they are doing. i had a meeting on friday. i'm part of a group that runs this hundred ceo forum. we had brazilians and chinese there. guess what? they both want to be exceptional. they are both excited about their growth. the theme of the meeting was why are brazilian managers so good? brazilian managers are so good, they said, because they have been dealing with uncertainty for so long. we can't even predict the past, was the line. yet we are ready to move on a dime for anything. all the developed nations, the brits, your home country, the europeans, the americans, we've had pretty steady trajectories. uncertainty hasn't been the way. now here in an uncertain climate. we need more certainty. people are scared about their jobs every day. when people know the

a lot of things do not do that so precipitously. we want to do it in a way that creates some room for the government to do things. there are only so many things the government can do to improve incentives for investment. we want to make sure we make investments for education and infrastructure. we want to do things that are going to be good for growth in the long run. we have a good chance to do that. these negotiations, despite the political moment, are a pragmatic and realistic and productive spirit. they will make the kind of compromises you need to make a broad deal work. >> you are talking about down payment now and longer-term deal later? >> we do not see a realistic path of solving all of this at once. it is not possible. we are trying to do a framework where there is substantial downpayment where there are spending reforms and debt reduction over a 10 year. period of time. targets and traders will force the remaining deficit reduction to happen so that we do not fall behind the curve. we are looking at a debt cap in the cons

i may no have a lot of money but what am i going to do? do i contribute now or do i wait?o i think it has a secondary benefit of engaging people on these questions about what matters to me. what impact do i want to have with whatever resources can i bring bare. >> wt was the general -- >> this is a great story. the first cpter of the book are what are my values and beliefs. we suggest all phinthropy is anchored there. what are my beliefs. in other words, what will guide my philanthropy. and -- received a present via fax from warren buffet that was a billion dollarsift that went to their charitable foundation that led them to ask this question, what in the world are we going to spend this moneyn? i think was a matter of him -- an wantio leave his children in philanthropic resources. then they asked what are we going to do with the money and what values will anchor our philanthropy. and it led to issues around women and girls. >> as you suggested this is abt qutions, what is my value, what is success,hat a i accountable for? what will it take to get the job done? how will i

we do. we especially love -- we like having those horrible dictators in the middle east with our foreign policy does -- we preach about democracy but we like having a strong man to deal with. in the beginning the sense was here is our guy and the bush administration we love having our guys in places hamid karzai was our guy. can you remember when the iraq war happens and everyone said if only there was a hamid karzai iraq. think about that for a minute. over the years -- he is known to be paranoid. he has become increasingly isolated. he is in this palace by himself. if you haven't read the story by elizabeth reuben about him it is a great story in the new york times magazine and pretty much describes how he got to this point and he is caught between the idea that he really believes he is the person who will save his country. he really believes that the west is against him and america is trying to kill him and america is killing people there. all these crazy press conferences he gives he act

it has to do with all the things we're doing tonight, to make sure we do them better and to make sure we have in our minds and in our plans of how people leave the city and why. housing is extremely difficult right now. i understand what people went through when forced with foreclosures. it has made life harder. it has caused people to move to oakland and other areas. we understand what that has been about. there is a combination of these things. we need to have money available for those who needed, making sure city is working in a coordinated fashion with all our programs. we have to do better. i know it begins with us making sure we are sensitive to this. i know, because i work with all my colleagues, that they have read this report. we will be working with all of you about implementing the various aspects of this. if it takes a hearing supervisor, we can report on the process we are making. we have a part of that responsibility in the way we handle our day-to-day business here in everything we do. it begins with all of you making sure you have a dialogue with us about preventing ou

that we cannot do anything about? what do i tell them? >> that is one of those situations that is frustrating and enduring -- and angering. we have got to say to that family that we are not just walking away from that responsibility. we are continuing to put pressure on those countries and about. >> i could not agree with you more. i trust you and general petraeus to deliver that message. on behalf of the people of south carolina and most members of this committee, if you are living in pakistan, you need to choose. it is in your interest to fight the people who would undermine afghanistan and pakistan. i am all four winning in afghanistan. pakistan needs to get with the program one way or another. the pentagon itself. do you agree that the system we have to provide weapons -- the more time it takes to develop a weapon, the more money the contractor makes. isn't that kind of stupid? it really is. i do not blame the contractor. i blame us. what if we said to the contractors, you are welcome to bid on major weapons systems, why don't you sha

i said to you once, why do yo continue to do this.ou he all the money in the world because you've done it world. you had an enormous record and you just said this is what i know. i want to do what i know. >> it's quite simple, it is, it's who i am, it' what i know. looking ba, it reminds me of when i retired thattists never happy charlie until i got back tutoring. >> charlie: because it's a goal. it's who you are and what you know and also you need purpose. >> purpose and structure. i need structure. i need to know that t fight is ree months away. i want to train here, i will run there and my le just took a lot of turns. it w boxing day that saved me from day one. charlie: what makes the change. >> fighters are born, the true fighters are really born, it's predestined. of all the people that you would think would be a fighter maybe is because of my personality. i'm a very quiet reserved, introverted to a degree. the but the ring, the boxing world brought me in, into it and i felt safe there. because i could defeat one rson that's dire

but i do think we have lost a little bit, in that we need to do this as part of a public strategy . as we do with other things -- it causes a lot of people to pay so other people can have service. when we do that, there has to be a public purpose, not just a private purpose. we should not be doing it to prop up certain phone companies. we should do because there is a public gain, where we all gain because of it. some of the proposals i have heard about and seen are much more about propping up private companies, who frankly, we have been paying a long time to act in non-economic ways. that is disturbing guest. guest: the administration has not teed up the distribution part yet. guest: there are two sides. how to raise money for the fund? and how you distributed? we said up a 10-year plan period first thing to do is deal with distribution. and to do with a contribution, which is how you actually raise the funds in the second phase. there are tremendous gains to the country to be made by rationalizing the distribution. there is a lot of money that simply is not going to an efficient pu

do you people have anything to do with that? guest: the national labor relations act does not cover public-sector workers at all. federal workers are regulated under the civil service act and state workers, if they have bargaining rights, or pursuant to state law. there is a constitutional right under the freed of association, the first amendment, to join a union. but there is no constitutional right that says the government must negotiate with its workers. in these states is a political issue. what i think should be going on is they should be going to the bargaining table because they are arguing that the labor costs are being excessive -- becoming excessive. go to the bargaining table and bargain over wages the vast majority of states have allowed the workers to bargain anthis has been considered a very basic right. in fact, the international labor organization has a convention saying that all civilized countries should allow their employees to engage in collective bargaining host: what is a right to work state? guest: that is

let's be very careful in what we do what wes work to need to do and be careful that we do not run out little guys are making it hard for new people to come into the business because of two or three companies that have messed up. thank you very much. >> i think that a comment from tennessee. let's go back now -- i thank you the gentleman from tennessee. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i am pleased tt chairman duncan was able to have an opportunity to review the testimony. i agree with this sentiment, which is we do not want -- we are not proposing to regulate those who are doing a good job. we have had some consensusn fees that are charged for entry from both the associations, the possibility of raising those fees, that would not bar entry, but would also help better find the inspection certification program. we had discussion of certifying operators so when you get a bad operator, it sticks with them, even though they might come up with a new corporate entity or a new name on the website for their curb to curb service. that could be helpful. we had some discussion on what you do en route

what they're doing. i think they ought to publish a campaign right now to to inflate the threat they're actually seeking greater funding for shopper warfare shuffle the new shift going on around the world for this and i think that they will but only the threat but the general accounting office the other day reported that most of the deal the leadership are totally inept about these matters but they're good publicity. kargil i want to thank you very much for joining us tonight and of course we'll have to wait and see to see if loss like really is done and whether. security operation and nandu keep leading the charge there thanks so much. you're welcome. all stories of impending disaster usually capture the hearts and minds of both the media and the american people there with this story we haven't really seen your typical amount of coverage so the state of nebraska is dealing with major floods and fears are now as collating after rising waters have breached a protective temp. very berm for the fort calhoun

that's what we do. we found out that the 25%, one quarter of all voting age african-americans would not be able to vote under the present photo id system. we do not have acceptable level of photo ids to go to the polls and vote in november. us who that's going to affect? so we've got to tie all the together. it's good to see senator webb has reintroduced the bill. we passed in the house last year. we've got to do it again. >> thank you hilary. never wants to respond and then we'll go to the next question. keep our responses brief. >> i want to respond briefly on the issue of the media, which is quite frank i think we need to accept the fact that we have a corporate media now. we no longer have a force of state has committed to informing the populace. as a result of that, we have a democracy that is very much compromised. i want to just make the point that the civil rights movement didn't come about because we were able to change the immediate conversation about white people that had been believed they n

>> firth: "do we actually have to do the practical now?e theory." >> pelley: he wanted us to see his first stage. it turned out to be the yard of his elementary school, where he told stories from his own imagination. >> firth: and at lunch time, on the field up here, the crowd would gather and demand the story. they'd all sit around and say, "no, we want the next bit." >> pelley: did you have the thought, at that early age, "this is what i want to do?" >> firth: no, no. not until i was 14. >> pelley: and what happened then? >> firth: i used to go to drama classes up the road here on saturday mornings, and one day, i just had this epiphany. "i can do this. i want to do this." >> pelley: he's done 42 films in 26 years, most of them the polar opposite of "the king's speech," like "mamma mia." ♪ ♪ how hard was it to get you to do the scene that's used for the closing credits? >> firth: you know what? that may be the reason i did the movie. >> pelley: you have no shame? >> firth: i'm sorry. that's... if one thing has come out of "60 minutes" he

i do not. i have been learning and all this need to learn more about how companies grow. -- and all of us need to learn more about how companies grow. there are times when you think they're making a lot of money, but there are shareholders and expenses in the city. companies have a choice. time and time again, i am reminded that companies have a choice. they do not have to be in san francisco. many of them are not wanting to be in san francisco. it is their work force that is telling them they should be in san francisco. they may lose that intelligent work force if they leave. it is not economically sound for them to be here. we have higher taxes. we have other disincentives. i am trying to work on those to make sure we're even. the discussion around. tax exemption is kind of punishing people for having large employee groups. why are we doing that as opposed to having a tax base that could generate the same amount of revenue without being so punishing against the numbers of employees you have?

even if they do do the one-to- one parking, that might help mitigate the problems. commissioner torres: thank you. president vietor: and i would be comfortable doing that, encouraging the developers to put more car shares and be more aggressive with renewable energy and to bring it on-line as quickly as possible. we've been talking about this as a commission. you know, and the public power provision, especially the community source advocation and what we can do in that local development, unless there is any opposition to it, that would encourage the developers to move forward as aggressively as possible with that. thank you for those comments. other comments or questions? hearing none, all those in favor? aye. opposed? motion carries. i want to live in parkmerced. commissioner torres: and live there forever.
