ladies and gentlemen, david horowitz. [applause] >> thank you branigin brahimi for putting together this event and the freedom center in philadelphia, my home away from home. karl marx wrote in four volumes which he never finished and was virtually unreadable. when he was asked why he wrote such a long book she said because i didn't have time to write a short one. this book i have written is quite short but it took me three years to write and a lifetime to gain the understanding that i tried to communicate in these pages. the book itself began when i picked up a copy of the meditation of marcus which is a book i remembered from my father's bookshelf, which he had just kept from college was not a book as i will explain shortly but he would have wanted to read as an adult or would have liked or learned from. he was the 19th emperor of rome. he was the emperor in the film gladiator, and he was by all accounts a good man and was also a philosopher, not a formal one. he took notes to himself and his notes were found in the mid

. >> i am still horowitz -- phil horowitz. and we have two concerns. the first is the president this would set. first, he took the middle units and claimed he was going to move in as his own apartment. that is what was happening, but instead what he did was he promptly started renting it out as a tourist hotel instead. then he claimed his father was going to move into the bottom flat and got rid of rent control tenants there. instead of moving his father in, he started renting that out as well. there are a town of ipads. he was renting it sometimes five a month as well. there was prior testimony on the garage hearing superior -- on the garage hearing. they were told he was moving his mother in and they had to move out. this was rented out as a tourist rooms and corporate housing. this is not affordable housing. we are concerned. our preference is to have three rent-controlled flats. one of the people living there is here today. we think it is disability discrimination, because he has epilepsy, and some people do not want him there. part of this systema

david horowitz was born into a family of dedicated communists whose members of the communist party. as a rigid labor baby growing up in new york, david was in dhaka made it into the intellectual world of collectivism and as a young man he became intoxicated with the hopeful idea that all of humanity can be saved from its historical misfortune's if they were only to abandon the old world institutions and to adopt the marxist ideals of the social salvation. marxist credit for me to his ability each to his own hamid begin the mantra of a generation of ultra bolshevik bolsheviks committed to the salvation of humanity david was a foot soldier in the war

north american sports with origins in the field centric the native americans could take it today horowitz even went as far as calling it the little brother of war many amendments have occurred since stand alone its popularity need yes indeed world wide to flourish. is a team game so it's got that competition think it's in the air so it's now here three dimensions and there's more scope for the clever stuff like that you know you got the estate when you got here it's like if they said it yourself i think harry. and because i think it's kind of fun is ok you think that you know you're not going to get hurt really but he does know like i got the bug suddenly like four guys in the land like it's kids finally you know it was like ross has been a surprising revelation for russian audiences he's been having few domestic players and just to be clubs one each in moscow and st peter's this poor state sure is growing in every match between the rivals is a big event at the moment foreign fans are in the majority in the stands. i think in russia it's a it's an upcoming sport it's you know it's a premi

>> i just spoke to ida horowitz. she's threatening to release the story. >> how did she find out? don't play dumb, tom. >> you think i linked it to her? >> yeah. >> i didn't link it to her, steve. >> i know i didn't, so that leaves you. >> what does she know. >> she knows whatever you told her. >> we have all the hollywood hunks this morning. an idealistic staffer for a newby presidential candidate getting a crash course of dirty politics during his stint on the campaign trail. what did you think? >> i don't think how much of a thriller this movie is, per se, but there's plenty of scandal. watching these actors stare each other down and give each other crazy eyes is really, really interesting. they're led by george clooney as the director, and he is spectacular. i think he's really telling a story here about the, like, innocence of youth being lost really. that's something that we don't often see in movies that are supposed to be about politics. there's a lot going on here. >> and your grade? >> i give this one an a, because i love watching ryan gosling give crazy eyes. my new off

the bail modification agreement which won their freedom by their legal team, by dan sorkin and dan horowitz, getting to know them, discussing strategy and defense, pleading guilty, his mental state, ruth madoff was confused, i would say. and bernard madoff at the very least was stoic, his approach to what was going on. but what was more important was in the instant i didn't see anything that was a telltale sign that they were looking to or planned to commit any act that night. >> what did she have to gain? if it's a stretch or an exaggeration, is it a bid for sympathy? it seems this woman has been through so much. >> she's been through a lot. her sister was wiped out by her husband's scam. she was estranged from her remaining son, andrew, and they're both appearing on cbs "60 minutes" this sunday. i think this is an attempt to get back with andrew and put bernie aside finally. when she had a choice between sticking with her husband or with her two sons, she chose her husband. now she seems to be reversing that. there have been reports she might get a divorce from bernie. i think she's final

important to give back and when we found out there were going to create this memorial, my partner joel horowitzd me his parents marched with dr. king and that inspired me to want to do something. so we gathered everyone in the tommy hilfiger corporation together and we tapped into the tommy hilfiger foundation which we established 15 years ago and said, okay, we want to do something significant to show our respect for dr. king and we were one of the first corporations to donate a substantial amount of money. we created the dream concert for raising money with aretha franklin, stevie wonder and a number of stars at radio city muse sick hall music hall in new york. >> that was at radio city. i remember that. tommy, you're not talking chump change here. $7 million you donated and you were one of the first american companies, if not the first to sign on, 12 years ago. you even have one tommy hilfiger employee dedicated to the effort in washington, don't you? what is he or she doing? >> well, she's a full-time administrator. there's a lot to really get this executed properly. it's been a long time c

> we are joined also, i hope eric will stay with us, mark an creasean, co-founder of an creasean horowitz which su a venture capital firm, but mark an creasean is known as one-- and risean was there when netscape was created. he has been an early investor in some of the very portant companies that have shaped wall street. i mean have shaped silicon valley and shaped wall street as well. he also new steve very well tell me your own thoughts of what he meant to you personally and what he meant to the way you saw the world that you live in >> yeah, i guess i think eric has had a lot of the things that can be said. the three ways i think i really admired him. one is he was the most amazing product visionary our industry has ever had or probably everill have. i once said that it's when the iphone came out i said it's almost as if the product has been boomed in from, you know, five or 10 or 20 years in the future. and it has just arrived. and nobody in the industry had any idea it was on possible to build anythi like thaand steve, you know, one of the only peop in the history of business who ha

michael horowitz, ask me a question. >> what would be so apocalyptic, jim, if the postal service wentf congress refused to provide subsidies? as i sense it, increasingly what the post office is is a subsidy operation for junk mailers. that in terms of first class service provides terrible service. every time i have to go to the post office i sit around waiting forever. so the question is, why do we need the postal service in its him current form? could you spell out for us what the impact on the economy would be if, somehow you defaulted? and employees did not get paid or vendors didn't get paid and congress refused to provide the subsidy. how would that impact the american people, the american economy? >> let me state that i understand your predicate as being, default means to shut down. we defaulted or we're going to default, that is the payment to the federal government, even with that default we will continue operating. but let's just -- the postal service shut down. it would not be apocalyptic. there would obviously be a lot of employees would be hurt, vendors would be caught sho

the leading lights two of my former colleagues from the office of management and budget, michael horowitz, john wiker. and i have other friends here. thank you for inviting me, it's quite an honor. today i'll summarize the dilemma facing the u.s. postal service and then take questions. my basic message or my message in a nutshell is that the old business model is broken and must be replaced. and then i'll tell you why. but first a disclaimer. what i say today are my own personal views. they don't necessarily reflect the views of the management of the postal service or of the postal service's board of governors. um, as you may know, there thers an old post office, the park. and it was the outgrowth of an authorization contained in the u.s. constitution. it sometimes says that the constitution mandates a postal service. it does not. it authorizes a postal service. but clearly from the very beginning there was perceived to be a nexus between the federal government and a postal service. benjamin franklin was the very first postmaster general established under the old continental congress. in
