there was no office of government ethics until then. and government ethics prior to 1978 were a horrible mess throughout our history with unknown amounts of conflict of interest. the office of governmen ethics has always been handled quietly, effectively, and with no drama. and certainly never a hint of partisanship until today, or the slightest sense of humor until today. at 9:55 a.m., the appropriately boring twitter feed of the office of government ethics suddenly exploded with seven simultaneous tweets addressed directly to donald trump. in response to his early morning tweets. first one. bravo! only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest. good call. the office of government ethics has never said bravo to anyone ever. it's not a bravo kind of place. and then came brilliant! divestiture is good for you, very good for america. saying that right to donald trump. the office of government ethics has never called anyone brilliant ever. these interest tweets you would expect to read if president trump was already in office

which is the commission -- ethics commission complaint no. 1617-06 ann treboux v. barbara sklar and ms. treboux you have ten minutes to respond to the staff mem memorandum and recommendation. >> this complaint was originally filed with the task force within the three-year window when it was actually heard the first time. unfortunately david pilpell was on the task force. he continued to interrupt me while i was presenting the case. he actually sat in the audience with the respondent and kind of goaded them as to how to respond to the complaint, and when he was up there he baited kay patterson along as to how to answer the complaint. the conclusion was that the sunshine task force lacked jurisdiction, because the paperwork didn't necessarily have to reside with the arts commission in their office. it would have been in the ethics commission's office. that was the conclusion of that. so it would have been within the three-year window, if i had directly come here, and i didn't know that i could come here to file a sunshine complaint at that time. so basically it came

i have been following ethics for about 20 years. i can assure the public and the board that the concept for enforcement is generally, that it is a matter of the law as a shield and not as a sword. so when enforcement occurs it's to protect the greater public interest and integrity of the governmental process so we're not basically thrashing about with a sword, hacking wrongdoers. this is not that type of a game. ethics takes their role seriously as a quasi judicial authority. i wanted to assure the board that that's the case. i think this is a big step forward behested payments has been a very hot item lately in the news. i think the public is concerned about this problem and i'm glad this board is taking that matter up and moving forthwi forthwith. thanks. >> thank you. any other members of the public for public comment? no? going once, twice, comment is closed. colleagues can we send this to the full board as a recommendation for a full committee report hearing on tuesday. can

in the city attorney and ethics for how many cases have been referred from ethics over to the city attorney into the district budget. just the number. you could not get actual ticket when i discovered the district attorney had no record of any referral. they simply were not keeping track of them. i assume they had referrals because the were some indication ethics at some things over but they just disappeared. so earlier i heard the commissioners discussing the fact that these referrals went to other agencies but then did not come back to the ethics commission and ugly was commissioner keane who is the point couldn't there be a deadline at which point the commission can either take it back or else do a parallel investigation. i think that's something that's only worth consideration especially since you have a more robust approach with staff know. thank you. >> thank you. >> i got 90 days in my- >> commissioners, san francisco (it. i've been coming to these hearings for about eight years. i'm a member of mensa and i read all the documents attached to the agenda every page every word. sometime

i have indian friends who have a phenomenal work ethic . you cannot make decisions for the commonwealth of virginia at a minimum wage of $15 but our competitors are laughing at us. really? you don't have productivity bayou wage -- raise the wage rate? we have to bring up our productivity levels but the wage rate is the same as productivity few raise productivity their wages go up. >> are they still trending? >> in the short run but long-term that is what you have to focus on. >> the point that you made and he was from the "national review" pretty much talking about race relations but that is a great book to talk about appellation of -- appellation as well. ben reed talk about a couple of other things like the book writing process. this is a very thoughtful book and i have written a book from my college roommates 30 years ago.

i don't think og certifys that, financial disclosure forms are filed with the government of ethics. it's the responsibility of each person to make sure they're conflict free or they commit a criminal offense? no, they can't be pardoned under the constitution, but if he were to think of start doing that in his own white house, i think they'd even have a response with the house of representatives, where they'd talk about impeachment. so newt gingrich is way off base suggesting that type of this ipg this early in the administration. on all this fund raising, i have to say the politicians have done it for years. it's mostly campaign fun raising, photo ops with the president. if you give min to the political party the president. it's a new level of tackiness the clintons were doing it. now the trumps are doing it t. pay-to-play game has been going on for years, that's been blessed be i the supreme court unfortunately. we have to shut down the cooperation in washington. i'm not encouraged with what i'm seeing so far. >> to the first point you made about ethics here, rick. one of the.that

he's done a recent paper with a colleague that does business ethics where they brought in a number oflow-level white-collar fenders and it started preliminarily, maybe see differences in brain structure with people who are, more likely, they have a higher capacity almost intelligence which is a humbling conclusion, but the theory is round in a different way a more careful way. ultimately the arguments around whether it's a physical cause, there are explanations. but i will say many the people i spent time with the difference between them and the executive in my class is a prominent ceo, if i was to not have their cvs, i can flip around their cvs and i don't think most people will be able to tell the difference, they're cordial, intelligent, everything you would expect a corporate expect a corporate leader to be. so the idea that there is a physical cause to white-collar criminality is it an explanation and can contribute but probably not the answer. >> host: so was about my conclusion in your book? you've identified culture is one cause, as it also situational, just the set of circums

it was also sadly what the kids call trolling but the office of government ethics calling trump's bluff. this morning trump announced on fwi twitter that he would hold a news conference along with his children to discuss the fact that i will be leaving my great business in total in order to fully focus on running the country in order to make america great again. trump wrote that he was not required to take this step under law but that he felt that leaving his business is, quote, visually important. hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. the presidency is a far more important task. this was greeted in some corners as actual substantive news generating headlines like this, trump leaving businesses to focus on running country. but in reality, trump's announcement means virtually nothing. trump did not provide further details but two trump staffers said today that trump is simply planning to follow through on his vow to hand his businesses over to his kids, a step he has long promised to take. >> i would put it in a blind trust. i don't

charlie: so you can teach it ethics? john: it can only learn what our ethics are.t doesn't develop its own ethics. it can look at our patterns of conclusions and minimalic that. charlie: is there any reason for it to be an ethical or moral machine? john: there is no reason for it to be one way or another. charlie: what do you wish it had? john: when we did the original jeopardy match, it did one thing and did it well. it under stood language and open do main questions. but it had no oiblet to understand images. if you feed is a digital image, it had no idea what it was. since that time we have taught watson bakely how to see and how to analyze images. so much of the world's information now is images. 2/3 or 3/4 of the data in health care now is in images. charlie: because it is about the brain. john: that is right. it is about the brain, not the eye. what watson does is it looks at images. we tell it, this is it and this is that, and it learns on its on to then go forward and understand images. all we need to do is tell it what is what to begin with, and it will ex

but overall, the highest standard of ethics the american people could want. and, if i may dip back in my history, give you this example of how much better the present senate is then some of the older ones, i remember when i was prowling the halls, i ran into a friend was distraught. i said to him, what is the problem? he said, i'm taking a group of schoolchildren through the capital, and i sent a note to a senator to ask if he would come out and speak to them. and he did. and he's drunk. and i can't get him to stop, and get the schoolchildren back to the tour. i don't know what to do. you don't see that kind of behavior in today's senate. you don't see the kind of casualness towards personal campaign contributions that existed. why do you think when they built the dirksen building, they put a safe in every senator's office? it was to hold the cash that would be brought into the office and handed to the senator. that was a routine kind of circumstance. one of the things i enjoy about the renovation of the dirksen building was being able to say to the architect

trump's government ethics tweeted, "brilliant, divestiture is good for you, very good for america." the ethics office then felt compelled to explain what it was tweeting about was not necessarily what mr. trump has pledged to do but how he can avoid all conflicts of interest. anthony, transition officials tell us mr. trump will still not release his tax returns as part of this process. >> mason: major garrett, thanks. the president-elect is making good on a campaign promise to keep jobs from leaving the country. dean reynolds has more from >> reporter: it was one of donald trump's sure-fire applause lines: >> companies like carrier, simply fire their workers, and move their operations to mexico. guess what? not gonna be so easy to do anymore. >> reporter: and to prove that point, trump and vice president- elect mike pence will be here tomorrow when carrier announces it will not be moving as much manpower to mexico, saving about 1,000 american jobs. what's your reaction to this news? that mr. trump was able to actually put his words into actions. >> reporter: t.j. bray is a trump-sup

but that all led to ethics complaints against him and those ethics complaints led to him paying back tens of thousands of dollars to his campaign. these were campaign donations he had used for personal family expenses. had to pay back tens of thousands. and those repayments have also proven awkward for him because apparently the way he was able to very recently pay back his campaign $49,000 for money that he spent on himself and his family instead of his campaign, apparently the way he was able to make that big recent repayment to his campaign was that he borrowed that much money off a family friend who is a convicted murderer. and so now the house ethics committee has opened a new inquiry into our old friend congressman hunter. so he's like, you know, sitting member of congress. but he's kind of like out the edge. not a towering figure in our public discourse, this is a guy who inherited his seat from his dad. he has the same name as his dad so he got to run as almost an incumbent if you didn't notice the junior. he has the reputation of being a little kooky. we should have seen tha

the ethics in government act, passed in the wake of watergate, requires government officials to place their assets in a blind trust controlled by a quote fully independent manager. congress did exempt the president from that law, but jimmy carter, ronald reagan, both of the bushes, and bill clinton voluntarily placed their holdings in blind trusts when they were elected. the trump administration will be subject to the anti-nepotism statute. after president john kennedy appointed his brother, bobby kennedy, to be attorney general, congress passed a law saying a public official quote "may not appoint, employ, promote, advance any individual who is a relative." it's the law that could restrict roles for trump family members in his administration. one final note, the ethics laws do require the president to publicly disclose all assets and business interests. president elect trump says he'll quote "leave his business in total." what exactly does this mean? lawrence noble was general counsel at the federal elections commission for throw presidents, represents and dement kratz. nice to see y

this research raises profound ethical concerns., just how human and the piglets developing inside this sow? it is such a sensitive area that the chimeric embryos will not be permitted to go to term, but be removed for tissue analysis after 28 days‘ gestation when they are about a centimetre long. they will crucially check whether the brain develops humanlike qualities. another pioneer in this field told me this question has yet to be resolved. whatever we tried to make, whether it is a kidney, liver, a lung, we will look at what is happening in the mind. and if we find it is too humanlike, it will be ended. organisations campaigning for an end to factory farming are dismayed by the image of organ farming. 7000 people are on the transplant waiting list in the uk and hundreds die each year before a donor can be found. but patient trials involving gene edited pig organs are still a long way off. and that is all from this special edition of reporters looking back at some of the best reports from this year. from me, phillipa thomas, goo
