were we're happy because with seven point seven percent unemployment but you know when the humphrey hawkins full employment bill was passed in seventy six the employment rate was three point six percent in those six point three percent and we thought that was a national disgrace and so now you know where we're happy to be at seven point seven no the richest country in the history of the world can employ it's people folks who want to work full time ought to be able to take care of their family nobody shouldn't be without the chance to go to the doctor and we all should have a retirement that we can look forward to and not dread now if the point of making our economy work was putting people back to work all those things would be true instead we're another place but this trend that we've been on needs to be reversed the back to work budget does that. specifically how does a do it how do you respond to conservatives who say well you know you're not giving tax cuts to job creators so they won't be no benevolently build a new factory for example well the phrase we're not giving tax cuts to job cr

leading partner next molt and perhaps it is not the next time but right hawkins perhaps the beginning of the selling season they are thinking that right now it is the next -- moving season. >> reporter: in walnut creek, philippe djegal, kron four news. >> vicki: bay area soldiers back at home tonight after a year of serving in afghanistan. kron 4's jeff pierce was tehre for the emotional reunionswith their families in-house (cheers & applause) >> reporter: soldiers from the eight hundred and first engineer battalion of vallejo were welcomed home saturday morning after a twelve month deployment in afghanistan, where they built infrastruture on infantry bases. a grateful community represented by the mayor expressed appreciation. >> it's truly my honor to welcome you home not knowing what you've been through. but appreciating your willingness to do so. >> reporter: during their deployment families were left behind. >> i left these four children in the care of my husband in order to serve;. >> reporter: babies were born >> i was on skype for twenty five hours straight while he was being b

with me now from one of the groups behind the study is kevin hawkins, welcome to the show.port found? i mean how much possibility is there? seems enormous. >> hi, melissa, thank you, and thank you for having me op here, appreciate it. the study was conducted by the communications institute in conjunction with senior economists and engineers from the university of southern california. we started this study with a simple premise. as you mentioned, california sits on the oil reserve, one of the largest in the world. the monteray shale formation throughout central california contained 15.4 billion barrels of oil, and the study asked the question what would happen to california's economy if that oil were prudently and carefully developed? well, the results were astounding. the results showed that within the next 15-20 years, california could generate up to 2.8 million new jobs, increase economic activity, the states gdp, by up to 14.3%, in connection -- increase personal income -- melissa: that's a huge number, 14.3% gdp. >> it's a huge number, it's tremendous for a state like c

for more on what this means, brandon hawkins joins us now. brennen, great to see you. jpm shares are under water this morning. is this more about what the fed said yesterday or more about this today's hearing? >> no, without a doubt, it's about the fed and they they came out. really, the senate report is old news at this point. it happened almost a year ago, the oil trade, and it's been contained, put aside. really, i think this is almost more a political issue than the fed. >> but brennen, at the same time, people are looking through this report and finding lots of reasons to question jpmorgan's risk controls, its oversight, the extent to which it tried to cover up these losses at the time. is there risk that in this is going to percolate and can put pressure on the banks or on jamie dimon? >> i don't think so. jpmorgan responded to this trade really, really well. they had it wrapped up faster than any investors had expected at the time. they were completely transparent. it dinged their reputation certainly at the time. it was bruised. but it didn't cause much damage

hawkins. >> albert briceno is the latest inmate on the move.rom the theo lacey facility to the central jail, three miles away. >> most inmates within the county jail are continuously on the move. we do have to screen and rescreen these inmates all the time. basically, how i look at it is, who can play with who. >> shortly after moving into his new cell, briceno discovered his neighbor was an old childhood friend, jeremy bowles. >> i recognized the tattoos. and then when he got up, i said, man, what's up, "g"? he looked at me. and his eyes got all big. the recognition set in. the star threw him off, the tattoos that i got. he got all excited, you know? >> me and albert briceno have been around each other for like the last 22 years. we were neighbors in juvenile hall. >> briceno and bowles are not only old friends. they share long criminal histories. they are considered among the most dangerous and violent inmates in the entire jail. because of that, they will never have physical contact. they are housed in a unit where only one inmate at a time

republicans state representative kathy hawkin writes in the "daily beast" this week that her home stateised to win the state-by-state race to the bottom on women's health. coming up to the panel i want to go to lee. what's going on here? i mean you definitely do seem to have an obsession, a singular obsession with republicans, whether it's in congress or at the state level with passing laws that limit and restrict abortion and this is irrespective of the polls saying this is crushing the gop with women. >> this is a terrible precedent here. i mean if this actually goes forward, this is just so anti-women's rights and it also could send us back to the days where women take unhealthy options when a choice is removed from them to, to make a decision on their own. that could lead to really terrible health consequences as well. we have seen that happen before. and it's just taking that back to their era and removing a decision this is the biggest of big government you can possibly imagine. >> that's the irony, which is the party of small government and individual responsibility. they want th

i think that's what judge hawkins was talking about earlier. what is it that you are amending and can you amend that? nobody would suggest that you can't amend the california constitution, no matter how the court had interpreted it, as a general rule. the question is, can you amend something as -- i'm not suggesting it's a fundamental right for purposes of this discussion -- but is there a valid reason to amend this constitution under the standard that we follow? >> well, your honor, i believe that the point of crawford is that the people are free essentially to disagree and reverse their constitution. >> well not anything, as judge hawkins is pointing out, you can't say -- he asked you, i think, twice -- could you say we're going to have segregated education? we couldn't say "yes" to that. >> no, your honor, but that's because the federal constitution would have outlawed that quite apart from whatever the california supreme court had to say about it and so it wouldn't matter if the people before a california supreme court decision or after a c

attention to what vice chairman yellen said earlier this week and what the chairman said his humphrey hawkinsulling back. so you look like a trillion dollar increase in the size of the balance sheet for quite some time. >> well, exiting would mean stopping. >> yeah. i mean, listen, this -- >> are we ever going back to 00? >> i think it would be a long time. i think it could be a long time. >> does that mean no? >> i don't know. i don't know. >> how -- >> doesn't everything go up, and we go to new -- we never go back to some level, could you, could you actually foresee us ever actually going down to $800 billion for the size of the balance sheet? >> if the federal reserve balance sheet in five years from now or even ten years from now is back to 800 billion i would tell you that is great news because that means this economy is growing fast and furiously. productivity is growing. the unemployment rate is back. so that would be excellent news. if you look at the world's balance sheets, big central banks, they're only going in one direction. they're taking a larger and larger percentage of gdp th

as hawkins said, they could fund my child care bill with what we're going to spend on lawsuits. text there, but for your teleprompting reading, that was impressive. let's talk about south dakota, because this was breaking news yesterday at 2:00. this is just the latest in a series of bills that have been proposed in that state designed to restrict a woman's right to choose. what is behind the motivation in south dakota? >> in north dakota -- south dakota also has many bills. they're all sort of coming out of the woodwork at the same time. there's nothing that is going to happen on the federal level. so all of the action has moved to statehouses where the states have become redder and redder. and they're passing through laws they know are going to be struck down because they're trying to set up a court challenge to roe versus wade. >> while the republican party seems to be moving more to the side of same-sex marriage, abortion is not an issue where the party is getting more moderate or liberal. they're kind of hunkering down and becoming more conservative on it. >> katrina, this

. >> with mason hawkins. >> upset about this transition. they brought them under a tent.ant to see a list of the shareholders, look but you can't disclose the information. this is a clever way of sort of making friends and keeping your enemies closer. >> do you think this has played out any way that michael dell thought it would when they announced it? he had to figure there was some sort of opposition. >> i think management buyouts, people have a bad taste about them generally because they think there is something inside guys know that outside guys don't. they had to expect something. icahn is a wild card. i can't manuel they expected that. i don't think they thought that was coming. let me get to other quick news. to the fight for the right to snack. twinkies are back. did you hear about this? this is very, very exciting. apollo global management and another company have made a joint offer to snap up twinkies. the two also reportedly enter the contest to buy drake's which would include devil dogs so you could get it going perhaps. >> all of the above. >> this does not g
