the hrc squirrel was rolled out last week complete with his own twitter handle and of course a handy and he ee eeps out pithy puns about hillary clinton like retweet and donate now if you think another clinton in the white house is nuts. get it? the squirrel also shows up places hillary goes like a book signing on friday where he gave out high fives. the squirrel has invited mockery including democratic national committee communications director mo alifi who recently tweeted "my pledge as long as i work for the democrats, we will never communicate through the voice of a rodent." hrc squirrel responded "i prefer siurius politikcus and i understand why you'd want to quiet any voice that speaks the truth about hillary clinton's past." "i hope you'll make the hard choice and read my book." that's very clever, hillary. except squirrels can't read. join the conversation with fellow reid report fans on twitter, ib sta gram and facebook and keep telling us what's important to us. now this news, california lawmakers reject a law to require warning labels on sodas and other sugary drinks. here

jonathan allen is the author of hrc, let's go to tony in st.ersburg, florida on our line for democrats. good morning. i am one of those democrats -- i am older than hillary. i just might consider staying home if she is the nominee, not voting. of 40 years of the democratic party capitulating all the time. [indiscernible] is a good example. we need a good progressive input, maybe we should lose an when theor two, democratic party took on the progressives and the populist programs. clinton doesry represent wall street, and she has no program for restoring the middle class in this country that i have seen. host: jonathan allen. remember -- there are a lot of democrats that feel that way. if she's the nominee, they want to stay home. people who say that, who are interested enough to say that, generally vote with their party at the end of the day. they will become so disenchanted with the other side that they will come out and or anger.fit of pique you would see the democratic party behind her if she becomes the nominee. she doesm twitter, if run, w

but i see that the mission of the hrc is continuing to really look at key cutting edge issues and to hold forums and to give recommendations. i also appreciate the input on various policy proposals that come to the board of supervisors and really engaging many of the communities that don't have a voice. but i just wanted to give you props for kind of continuing that mission and in a great way with even a reduced staff that you have as well. so thank you. >> thank you. >> any further questions? okay, thank you, mr. sparks, for being here. much appreciated. and there's no budget analyst report, so, you skip the gauntlet, ms. parks, on that. up next we will have the department of [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. ~ we have [speaker not understood] here. >> good morning, members of the budget and finance committee. supervisor farrell, vice-chair mar he will, andxv avalos, wiener and breed, good morning. i am joined by our fiscal policy analyst stephanie nguen as well as a policy fellow ~ grace, grace fisher. excuse me. next slide, please. next slide, please. so, in term

and so that they will have to have lbe goals but we, and we already through vmd and the prior to that hrc have been working with the public, private developments where they do include the lbe goals and so we are support of that. >> great. and so could you talk a little bit about enforcement of our existing provisions regarding suppliers, brokers and others, what are your thoughts around that world? >> so, it, and i think that, you know, as we have transferred and i think that we should definitely continue the enforcement of that brokers are, and when it comes to commodities are you talking about with suppliers and you want to be sure that we have suppliers that do have a warehouse here in the city and i know that it is difficult and that the city does not yield it self-to warehouse space but we do not want to be paying markups unnecessarily markups and so, the certification process, they go out and confirm that there say warehouse that is supplied and stacked with the supplies that that vendor is selling. and we can, and we are beefing up the certification process right now. and we will c

you're the co-author of another hillary clinton book "the new york times" best seller "hrc."or being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> you laid it all in the recent article on the hill, you called seven takeaways from hillary's book tour. is it going as planned or is it a little bumpier than one might expect? >> there have been a few bumps that's for sure, and it shows you can have a book tour and plan and plan and plan and execute and prep and you'll still hit bumps and she's hit a couple. one was earlier in the week with her houses comment and how she said that she was dead broke, the media jumped on that as we know. she's made another couple of gaffes describing abraham lincoln in the wrong way. and, you know, a couple here and there. so, this is just a little bit of a test to see what's to come in the campaign i think. >> well, how do you think that's interpreted with the dead broke comment? do you think media people out there are blowing up, like, they are just waiting for her to say something, that's it, that's it, let's go with the dead broke thing? >> one thing'

joining me now, senior white house correspondent from the hill and co-author of "hrc state secrets and" and analyst jonathan capehart. i want to begin with this, don't these stories and smears and suggestions, karl rove's comments don't they help clinton rather than hurt her? >> i think they done the outside group, like you saw, correct the record, all running with it now. everyone wants to focus on her health, on the past, no one wants to focus on the issues. and i think they kind of do boost her. they -- these are sort of silly little arguments, no one's talking about the issues, people focused on walkergate. they do help her case in a way. >> so if they want to play small ball, they're playing with the wrong person. jonathan, i'd like you to help me out here when you look at the main challenge, this idea of karl rove's idea that the concussion, head injury, take a listen -- i'm going to read here -- her response in "people" magazine to this idea that she has a brain concussion, because it's such an unbelievably skilled response the way she has done it. we should break down what she

steve, perry, back with us and jonathan allen joins us, co-author of the "new york times" best seller, "hrcpriate to this conversation. so i'm going to start with you, jonathan. playing politics here? really? she's playing politics. we just heard these two guys with the same talking points. >> yeah. the idea that senator cruz is above politics in this is a little marred to take. obviously he's being just as political as everybody else in the republican party is in terms of trying to make this an issue for her in 2016. i do think that there are some legitimate questions about american foreign policy and the extent to which we do expeditionary sploemcy and whether the state department was heeding warningings from libya how much more dangerous benghazi was becoming. i think some people in the republican party have been serious about trying to talk about those things. >> who are those people? i'm kidding. >> well, a congressman from utah brought up some of the more global issues. but the truth is most of what's going on from the republican party right now is trying to drag hillary clinton into

and i don't even think they go to the hrc meetings.'t think they read the book or read what we've said. >> i think some of the critiques are more substantive. one of the points in the book that has generated contentious is you say we wanted to begin connecting with a constituency that hadn't fully considered our side of the issue. using the word begin there and referring to making a conservative case with your colleague, obviously, coming on board this case and having a track record that would make people not expect him to be a part of the case. then you look at andrew sullivan's seminal piece on this. they failed to get the supreme court to even take the case. why do they consider themselves the architects of our civil rights. >> nobody thinks we're the architects of the civil rights. nobody ever suggested that. what we did was we took one case. i think it happens to be an important case. and for andrew sullivan or anybody who thinks that case wasn't important, they ought to go out and talk to the people in california. the thousands a

you wrote the book on her, hrc, literally, the biography.n she's out of office and making comments, they'll have to make comments as she potentially looks towards 2016, that is a better position for her to be in than to be in office? >> well, certainly a better position to be in than being in office trying to run in 2016 for any number of reasons, including capacity when you're out of office to bill a political operation. you know, she does not have to agree with president obama on everything he says because she's no longer in his cabinet. that gives her a little bit of flex ability. at the same time we've been hearing her do that on various issues, including the prisoner swap for bowe bergdahl which puts her at odds or it seems at odds with things that she's written. >> a.b., in addition to the foreign policy challenge, clinton, you know, mentioning this earlier, getting testy in that npr radio interview in which she was asked whether she changed her position on same-sex marriage for political reasons. >> i think you are being very persiste
