i do think it has to be. a choice that the company and its leaders to mentally stakeholders make and if they make the wrong choice then the market is pretty effective but for example let's take a fast company you know that many governments have to invest a lot of money into their health care systems and diabetes heart attacks take a lot of public resources so for example as a government if i want to limit operations of this change and i am not entitled to decide especially because i'm paying for the consequences of that business interests i think a better approach is those targeted taxation so just like we tax alcohol and tobacco at a higher rate to discourage consumption of those products as well as to use some of that money back to. do. dealing with the consequences of their use i think it's perfectly legitimate to say the products that do have negative effects on our health most of them others do and therefore they should be higher taxes on those on that money or a portion of that at least should be earmar

i think we have very few shelter beds set aside, housing slots. again, i kind of raise this for dialogue because there are multiple departments with this issue. it's not impugning any nonprofit. it's kind of over time we kind of evolved from what i think is a really good vision and a sound program intervention when we launched the plan. >> and i appreciate that. again, to be clear, i know everyone here is all on the same page in terms of wanting to tackle this issue. we need to be able to be raring with each other about what we think is working and not working. from my perspective, certainly no hard feelings. >> so, the next slide, and this is something that's been a monumental success due to leadership of certainly barbara and before her dr. katz and [speaker not understood], other. project homeless connect. volunteer based, street [speaker not understood] single point in time, single location, whole range of services that helps folks get house or stay housed. two goals, one of the luxuries of san francisco, you know, we are richly funded. we have

i think he was correct and i don't think it was an argument that it was too expensive. i used to live 2 blocks from there. i don't live there now but i go back there. it's rapidly turning into an apparel cosmetic restaurant row. that's what it's going to be in the future. as long as we allow that to continue. i think the neighborhood will be like people like me that don't want to go back there. it's a neighborhood commercial district and not a tourism district. >> commissioner fung? >>commissioner fung: i hope everyone appreciates how much thought goes into this one. they are difficult and they are addressed by situation. a lot of people have talked about how long they have been in san francisco and born and raised here and watched fillmore street go through its ups and downs. frankly it looks great right now. i think it's alive and mixed with our food an apparel store. it's not out weighed by store resources. i think it's a good mix. like commissioner hillis, i'm a kirkland brand myself. we might go to a costco and there is a place like raggen bones which is a kind of n

this fine. >> i think the audience. at think they learned much from the narrative recounting the national security ministration. one of the things, created by a top-secret memorandum by harry truman in 1962. no congressional or public debate. just sort of embarrassed. i am sure that harry truman thought he would be embarrassed by this session. >> it is the only agency in the u.s. government that was not created by a law in congress, hearings, by a bill through congress. it was created by a top-secret memorandum signed by harry truman in 1962 that was -- even the congress was not allowed to know about it. it is the only agency in your government that was born secret. >> which is the opposite. the government must be transparent in order to have government by the consent of the governed. it seemed apparent inconspicuous that other than a few cameo to appearances nothing involves congress. we have those the bourse, where is congress. >> nasa's 1975. >> and now was this sort of an episodic instance in any event. we're talking

yeah i mean i think i think facebook's always working on that stuff too i think you have a good point with the spam and spam to be even bigger problem with facebook and spam is kind of what killed my space in a way so i think that's facebook tries to become more and more of a communication center they're going to have to figure out how i can not be tagged in the promo for the friday night party at the club that i've never been to you know because a friend of a friend of mine tagged me but i think it's a utility in what we were talking about before and keeping weaklings around for when you might need them even in ensuring that strong these don't become weaklings just because you're moving out of that same circle that you might use to then you know i consider myself still close friends with people i mean i've seen in a year or two even but i know what they're doing because i follow them on facebook you know and i talk to them on facebook and it has become in a way a way of a kind of augmenting our our social networks our real life social networks and so we're able to keep these people.

don't and i don't think that is necessary. u and i are both old enough to remember the 1986 bill. it really was and this the online what the house is considering now. and notally was amnesty what the house is considering now. after the bill, only 40% of people who are eligible for citizenship applied. i think that what most people as illegale immigrants, what they want is to get out of the shout outs -- shadows. they want to feel that they are safe. i don't think that there will be a bill -- >> a bill where they can get together with senate and have a final resolution? >> i don't think there will be a bill. i think there will be a series of bills. obamacare was a lesson-learner for a lot of people. losey and durbin, the width in the senate for the democrats, are right, that they will not accept anything other than a path to citizenship, i don't think the path ash the house will pass that. i don't think the house will pass that. i think what most immigrations -- immigrants want is to come out of the shadows, raise their families

>> i think this is a unique time in city government. i've worked in city government for 20 years now, and i don't find the polarization within the decision-makers, the elected officials that lead our city. i know that there are differences, but they just -- i don't think that people walk into this building trying to figure out how to blunt somebody else's agenda, and i did feel that way for better on for worse on some issues. so, i'm open to any criticism and i'm open to anyone saying we're not succeeding because that person is saying they care and they want to see things done differently. and, so, i never mind -- i do ask people to think about homelessness like a fourth grader would. all of you are parents and i think when you see children look at the issue of homelessness, and i see it through my seven-year old all the time. i see how she looks at people, when we interact, which stop to talk to people, when i give them a card to say call me, come see me. but i think for a hie they look at homesness and say, people need homes. it's real

i think that's kind of the other areas. i don't think there is anything else missing. >> and david will be our acting director as long as we have him to also do two things to help with the transition of bringing our next director on board as well as to work to train his successor as deputy because, as folks know, he is retiring in june -- >> at the end of june. >> at the end of june. so, we have from earth day to the end of june for a transition working with david. and he's been involved in transitions in the past, as folks know, and he's -- we're very fortunate to have him during this transition. >> this will be the fourth time i've been in the acting director position. i should also add that the intent is to initiate the search for a deputy concurrently with the search for the director so when the new director comes on board, the director will have a group of candidates to choose from and we won't have to start the search process at that point. so, that should expedite the process. so, we'll time it so that when the new di

>> i think so. i can turn over to marilyn ye but i believe this is based on bookings going forward, actual books. so i think it's a reasonably optimistic projection. before i step up, i do appreciate commissioner woo ho's comments. >> good afternoon, marilyn yee, financial analyst, maritime division. yes, it is, currently we have some defined booked and 261,000 passengers. >> i guess assuming the economy continues as it is. you also noted one of the reasons we did quite well these last couple years was in terms of, you lumped it under grant funds but there's a range of things. do you see any opportunities for us to get similarly -- similar funds coming in or that seems to me it was more sort of a one or two time? >> i think there is future opportunity. i think the 2008 decision of the city to add the port to the general obligation for parks has proven to be an on-going relationship and i think it's now the rec and park and ports bond and our next will be placed on the ballot in 2020 for the schedule

i don't think -- i think it's possibility to do it. it may draw a cost because we talk about what would be the option if there were no shell, but that's certainly doable. >>supervisor john avalos: the option being flexible to have one that includes shell and one that doesn't? >> right. along the line of what the commissioners have been saying. >>supervisor john avalos: okay. i think that's the right approach. and in the meantime, what was the timeframe for this rfp? >> well, the timeframe was to try to get enough comments and good robust comments to be able to feel that we heard everyone and we had incorporated or figured out why we were not incorporating what everyone was saying. in terms, that would include from my point of view the sfpuc. i don't know if we want to wait on a joint hearing or go forward. we have gone forward in the past with out sfpuc involved. it's up to your direction. i have not had a conversation with the general manager. i have with mchale, very professional but they are not in a position to assist. we also want

a catholic hospital you know because i don't think it whirls i don't think so yeah . there's two to separate things here one is the pro-life side which you know. i wish that that baby could have been saved i wish that if the section could have performed there have been cases where women have been in comas and a c section has been performer around the same time i did manage to save the feet as it was very unlikely i know i'm just missing first trimester problems and there's also the end of first harasser well by the time the by the time she died i've supported i think it's twenty two twenty three weeks and yeah but then the other separate issue is really the hospital in the payment and that is the hospital only did this for one reason they were worried about a lawsuit so should they have to pay for keeping her alive for a cynical reason like that absolutely the muniz family can't afford this they should have to pay for health care they can't afford like i said texas did tort reform they said oh you know the republicans ran around so if we just kept you know make everybo

>> i think we have to -- i think ruth is right. need to get people into the writing rooms, we need to get people into those places of decision making so that we can start to change this more. it does start, i think, communities have to support us, because i think there is no dearth of content or brilliant minds out there to create the content. we do need to do that. but at the same time, the communities, people can help by funding these projects by making sure that -- that -- i'm sorry -- >> we have about five, ten seconds left here. so i'm going to stop you there, and thank all of our guests. until next time, we will see you all online. >>> good evening, everyone, welcome to al jazerra america, i am john siegenthaler in new york. out of afghanistan, orders from the president get ready to bring all american troops home by the end of the year. uncertainty in ukraine after the president's fall there. how to build a new government. school children massacred. the lethal group behind the murders of students in nigeria. plus. >> i don't

that that's a big issue and i think the equity markets are looking at that in great detail in addition we still talk about you know the job market i mean we had a report recently of just over one hundred thousand new jobs created as you know that as of the last month and i think that those numbers are not good enough numbers for us to go forward in the in the u.s. and i think that's going to be something that all institutional and individual investors take a look at as they position their portfolios for two thousand and fourteen now having said that i think the key word here is diversification i think that in order to whether the storm and we see these huge swings in the equity markets the dow jones just dramatic swings downward in january so you have to be prepared and you have to be patient and think longer term but stay diversified in terms of your investments because if one industry or one set of stocks or mutual funds fall out of favor you have access and allocation to other arenas both international and domestically to make sure your portfolio is weathering the storm properly now

i think -- i think that's unlikely. i wouldn't want -- >> but it's his baby and your baby and so it's hard to not want to see. >> which is why both of us, more so him than me, but we both tried to give the company advice. i've tried to give steve ballmer advice on fine tuning their strategy. but it's really hard to make those judgments and final assessments unless you're the one running the ship. >> there's also argued that with respect to microsoft, that there may be a -- there may be a lesson in terms of the way you run your sports franchise. it's better if you just simply give to the person you choose to run it all the latitude to run it. and then as long as bill is there, it's kind -- and on the board, as steve is on the board. they're looking over the c.e.o.'s shoulder. >> that's a fine line you would have to walk if you were going to be more involved in -- than a typical board member and i have no idea how that's going to play out. obviously somebody of bill's stature you're going to want to listen to their advice

i do not think i made it to every single county. ink there are 253 of the but i did make it almost everyone. in many cases, it was nostalgic. being a part of the state that i visited with my parents. we would go on summer vacations or a part of the state where my grandmother had lived in el paso or lubbock, where my dad's mother lived. so i love that. see theoved getting to very best of your state. and in the most unlikely corners of your state. i would see the most terrific ramps -- programs that texas had founded. programs,eally great just groups, women's clubs started to support either child protective services or protection of children who were abused, were in foster families that needed special care or literacy programs that were founded so that anyone could come in and be taught how to read. in our state, we have a lot of people who do not read in english. andwant to learn english read in english. those programs were great to see. texas, wherest people are very rural eyes -- r uralized, i saw terrific rogue programs that go aro

yeah i mean i think that you know it's a great question and i think that those treaties are documents need to be looked at very closely i mean this is obviously a very real issue for workers but i highlighted both skilled and unskilled workers in the united states because jobs are being lost and they're being lost you know at record numbers and so i think that these treaties that we designed need to take that in mind whether it be out of d.c. or the you know the the big business world they need to be looked at closely because we do want to have jobs back in the united states we need jobs back in the united states we want companies in the u.s. to make profits but we have to figure out a way where we can both outsource overseas but also keep job growth here in the united states now what about robots i go to a local pharmacy and i don't need to interact with a single human being and i can pretty much get every basic that i could ever need at a c.v.s. these days so how much of what we're seeing with this wage pressure in the u.s. comes from technology. it's funny you bring that up i was j

when i was thinking about terrorism, i was thinking about about -- in u.s. history. one of september 11 and as you know at that time before september 11, the russian government, putin was not yet president were proposing the u.s. government close the cooperation against al qaeda and taliban. it was to miss by the clinton administration because we viewed russia as an imperial power in central asia. it looked almost like a treaty. russia was talking about cooperation against al qaeda and the taliban but in fact wanted the american blessing. i have no idea what would happen if putin was taken seriously. i would be interested in your view and then the boston marathon. the russian security service approached the fbi talking about some questions about the tsarnaev brothers. i don't think there are fishel's here when they talk to security council officials in moscow. it's completely unclear what has happened. the russians have provided information but this information was incomplete and insufficient. people here because this information was insufficient did not want to be m

it is because of that race because they just don't think people ought i mean just think about it when have we ever had a president well he's not one of us he doesn't he's not an american citizen he's not i mean all the birth is all this stuff there's something in the back where you just can't accept the fact that there are people who can't accept the fact that he's our president and it's visceral it's not rational because we think about it rationally why would you ever have a barack obama you could disagree with this policies but is he a hateful person he's a loving husband a great father he's very very bright he made it on his own under incredible circumstances to become president of united states why is there anyone among us who wouldn't want him as a son to say oh my god look how proud i am of this young man he becomes editor of the harvard law review i mean this is the perfect resume the nicest warmest you know he's good with sports got a great voice i mean everything you want to be as a guy growing up when you want to be like barack obama so why do you hate him disagree with his

plaza itself would not have the transparency itself but to follow up on the special obvious district i think through either method through the code amendment or the special use amendment you'll be describing the allowances in the as a way so you'll have to use the same terminal so i don't know if an su d would be more simple. >> that's helpful. i didn't notice this until today, the two planters on the stockton street creates a wall if you're at human height which you clearly are. it steps the portion you're walking blank to blank and you're walking again but extends a portion there's a wall still. i understand the overly design i like the negative poise reflecting the structure within the building but when i think about a experience on stockton street loading to the town hall and stockton streets. just a quick note that was an issue that the department brought up it's an emergency egress there's an egress output that's visible build into the wall we were hoping to bring that down but for emergency rooms it was not possible >> is that true of the other side there's a lift. >> that i'm not sur

i think modern education, i think modern day, i think education is so important.through education, i think we can -- >> bring these ideas spent we can promote education through these values. take time, 10 years, 20 years. so that's my view. whether realistic or not, you can judge. [laughter] >> ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot more in store for you but i want to some of the four points what we've learned from his holiness this morning. .. the fourth lesson is the good news that we have got him today which is the principles and practices of global brotherhood and sisterhood are in each one of our hands to practice and to teach what is an affirming lesson of something that we cann grow away from in this session today and each one of our lines of work and everything we do to make a better world this is our charge, our privilege, this is our obligation. this brings us back to the subject of happiness which is going to be our next session from our friends at the life and mind institute. a quick moment of gratitude, these programs we have had over the last two days d

i think this is another terrific question. i actually

when i was thinking about terrorism i was thinking about the dramatic results.one is september 11 and as you know at that time before september 11 happened the russian government specifically try minister putin, he was not yet president for proposing to the u.s. government to close the dash against al-qaeda and the taliban. it was dismissed by the administration because we are defeated fresh as an imperial power and they wanted to establish influence in central asia. it looked almost like a -- russia was talking about cooperation with al-qaeda and the taliban but in fact wanted the american blessing. i have no idea what would happen if putin was taken more seriously. i would be interested in your view and in the boston marathon. the fsb russian secret service approached talking about the tsarnaev druthers. i talked to officials here and i talked to security council and it's pretty clear what has happened. the russians have provided some information but this information was incomplete and insufficient. the people here because this information was insufficient did

i think they're going to get into that market. i'm not terribly worried. they're a bigger competitor threat for the more limited-service hotels at a lower price point. >> i do see it especially in this area. i rent out my place, and i get all business travelers. all the time. it just seems like you said it's a natural next step for them. do you have any kind of plan to counter that? you hear about hotel chains, larger hotel chains that are thinking about, you know, starting their own air b&b. >> i think they're thinking about it. it's a very different business. it's more like ebay than the hotel business. i think they do a tremendous job at what they do, and i love the way they set it up. but i like my business a lot. i don't need to worry about air b&b. i don't even worry about too many competitors. it's still really early days in the boutique segment. maybe 2% of supply out there of our kind of rooms. demand has to be a multiple of that. i think we're far away from worried about it. >> you do participate with hotel tonight, the app that allows you to get

i think in the end -- i forget who said it, but i think that deal -- i think came out primarily because at that time commissioner fewer had the strength of will to force a solution, and i think that it was time and we were ready for that. we spent a lot of time on too many options, so there's a lot of work in each one of these steps to happen. even at 555 and parcel lee i think the potential to go higher potentially so they're all new territories to work on in the city. >> if i may just finish up i wanted to say something about those sites. one thing you need to take into account is the under utilizing of the mccallister building, the older building on the site and i think we should consider that. maybe we can make some -- talk to some architects and tell us what could be done on the site, and the same thing -- and lastly i want to make one comment i am hoping that we -- i remain committed to the idea that we need to provide access to housing for our employees, particularly for teachers if we're going to remain competitive as to having teachers be able to come here in the future which w

said i mean really when they think. about it i go through a very narrow in oil and all these things but actually you know all this a really different real asset that people want to get their hands on and again when we're talking about gold them on climbing if we look at for instance chinese portion or jade i mean the demand for that in the last three years old. it's just it's just been unbelievable this is where people want to put their money and i think i don't think people realize how to go about the star thing or they don't know anything about these markets. that let me tell you different things we have no you know we're all good friends of jim rickards who wrote currency war and he's got a new book coming out the death of money and he points to the art market and saying look people say that quantitative easing is causing inflation and other people say it's not causing any inflation but in the in an area like arc where you don't have futures contracts giving you the ability to suppress the prices like you do in gold a

a certain level and i think a carbon tax provides the opportunity to make sure that the problem that we've seen so far doesn't continue to play out and what i mean by that is right now the people who are paying the cost of pollution are the people on the shorelines and the people that are suffering from drought in california and the people who are living in communities where natural gas fracking is wrecking their communities and their world are being poisoned or coal ash or in bangladesh where they're they're being you know this is more of tonight's conversations of the great minds of evan weber and and landers. i marinate join me on. that impartial and financial reporting commentary for news and much much. only on the best and only. conversations with. evan webber co-founder of u.s. climate plan and angela anderson director of the climate energy program with the union of concerned scientists and let's get back to this. the energy transmission infrastructure of the united states was if not built certainly designed in the late nineteenth century early twentieth century. how do we move

i think that mr. over at delta is just done an outstanding job of managing and continuing to be kind of innovative in an industry that everybody thinks is sort of boring. the airlines and all they do is lose money. they don't lose money. they're making money. it's in the baggage and everything else, scott. he's done an magnificent job. >> delta is up. ibm is helping the dow today. let's go to jon fortt in barcelona, spain right now, with the latest headlines with ibm ceo at the mobile world congress. jon, what is she saying? >> scott, she just announced that ibm is launching the watson challenge. what this is is an attempt to open up this watson program. remember that's the one who beat the guys on jeopardy? opening this up to mobile developers hoping they will figure out businesses to build on top of it with three that are the best that they choose. ibm will fund. it's really important that ibm is doing this because they want to build this from maybe a tens of millions of dollars business into a $10 b

i think it is a problem. i don't think it's an illness. cancer is an illness. >> hoffman himself talked to "on 60 minutes" about his addiction back in 2006. >> on what i can get my hands on, yeah, yeah, i liked it all, yeah. >> and why did you decide to stop? >> you can panicked. you get panicked. i was 22 and i got panicked for my life. >> rick, we spent about 15 minutes talking about how terrible it was that this great, phenomenally talented actor died and then it's on who's to blame? is that the right debate for the media to be having? >> maybe. i have a problem more with greg that the word tragic and sudden is used. that should not be used. a tragedy is when a single mother dies of cancer or a family die necessary a car accident. that's a tragedy. this situation is sad, but it wasn't unexpected. and we could see this coming and i think what we have to be able to do is really not glamourize this. we shouldn't have cameras at the funeral talking about who all was there. it was almost like a red carpet event. it was really terrible. >> but

just oh i don't think this. i don't know this is not for me is not my bag is not my thing i want something what is this with honorary captain of the u.s. curling team while what got you into curling you know one of the beat writers came to me a few years back and she asks me. to come out in and get on get on the ice and do some curling i don't know what it was without you know i was open i was open to do it. you had a bit enjoyed it yes i did enjoy it enjoy it it was in america yes they have lease all over the place most of the leaves are in i believe like minnesota. yeah i mean west but they they have leagues in santa how did you become honorary captain they they reached out to us and axed me to come down and they when i got there i was they made me the honorary captain where we finish in curry we meddled in curling yes oh yeah yeah yeah you know what i think. i think i'm good on the ice when i'm done playing they're going to be a curler really no joke. what is the fascination of a little stick keeping that litt

city of sochi reach is not exactly in the middle of our douglas don it's still quiet removed and i think you would agree with me that the russian state is taking these terror threat it extremely seriously i mean thousands of security forces how to deploy it on the side and it's estimated that more than two. you billion years dollars are spent on providing the security and safety of the game yeah i agree generally speaking that the russians have taken extraordinary extraordinary measures and sochi of course is not in the heart of the north caucasus however it's only several hundred miles away in the and the judges have shown the capacity to strike moscow and more recently striking volgograd and of course attacking the moscow petersburg trained back in november two thousand and nine so i think it's much easier for the caucasus emirate to hit sochi in theory of all these security measures hadn't been taken than it is for global jihad history even native jihadists in england who are very few to attack a london so it's a bit more of a security risk but again as i said you know at the time it

i think they are still hungry to see their ratings climb. right, there is content for every, and football may not be for emily chang, unless it is stanford. >> i was going to say, i'm going to be one of those female viewers, if i can get my hands on the remote. jon, when it came to "star wars," he did not give away any secrets. did he tell you anything off camera? >> no, i think they are better at keeping those secrets than apple is about their next big thing. this is an important film and he is more involved with this than the average disney film. cannott a lot of fans wait to see it. jon erlichman, great interview today with disney ceo bob iger, cory johnson. thank you for watching this edition of "bloomberg west." we will see you back here tomorrow. ♪ . . >> welcome to "lunch money."." ng a look at the menu, wall street, leon cooperman speaks, tells us where his money is going. a bloomberg exclusive. in motors? are friendly and cheap.ars that and the gop comes out firing against some new numbers showing the impact on jobs growth. fashion?

i think she means i mean the people that we spoke to for the buck basically you know reinforce that and they that night very much weight on it and i think that was from this painful time during her tenure and we delved into quite a bit and quite frankly telling a buck about the friendship john with general petraeus. i'm sorry sir the friendship with general petraeus right so the two of them had gotten along over the years not been particularly close and then hillary clinton really went after david petraeus in a two thousand and seven hearing on the iraq surge she basically suggested he had been lying and then when she gets picked as secretary of state she knows she's going to have to work with him because he's going to be the head of the central command overseeing a good bit of the world she invites him to her house they have a glass of wine the next night he comes back they have glass of wine with the veteran diplomat richard holbrooke betrayed us understands that there's a calculation to the politics of her trying to get closer to him and that is impressed with the effort nonethel

i don't think that ever goes away. i think there are a lot of ignorant people out there, the best way to put it. a lot of ignorant people who look at people for their race instead of them as a person. >> and erin andrews speaks candidly about her handling of that postgame ran by seattle aes richard sherman. >> what everyone in america wants to know is what was going through your mind when richard sherman was getting rather emotional on the sidelines with you? >> i better not mess this up. >> i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. the denver broncos and seattle seahawks aren't the only ones heading for a showdown today. president obama faces off with bill o'reiley. besides the president's obvious distaste for fox news, which was clear at their last sit down, three years ago. >> do you think you're being treated fairley by fox news now? >> i would say that the news guys, i think, try to do a good job, although look, let's face it, fox news has a point of view. >> one of the stakes when they go toe to toe today. joinings

and i think the. recorders. welcome back to all the parts where we are discussing the security of the sochi games with gordon hahn a counterterrorism expert at the deer's to change it forecasting corporation mr han for almost two decades russia has claimed that the insurgency in the north caucasus was part of a global terror network but for many years those claims were essentially brushed off i wonder to what extent do you think the security challenges that we already discussed in the first part of the program are really of russia's own making and to what extent is it a product of the globalization of terror well it's really a mixture of two on the one hand. it's driven from inside russia by you know the so called the deficit democracy the high levels of corruption by the way the local culture in the north caucasus which tends to produce a lot of violence or violence oriented young men and then of course the tendency. within any muslim population a small percentage of people to be attracted to the jihad is to th

i think since we certainly talked it out and -- we're in a good place. >> i want to ask you about thearriors' arena, proposed for the san francisco waterfront. originally you were hoping to be in the city in that arena for the 2017 season. that's now been pushed back. what's the status of it? >> full speed ahead is the status. it's pushed back because we're doing exactly what we promised to do. and we promised to take every bit of regulatory input, every bit of public input. we're now in our third complete design of the project. there are not enough that i'm not sure anyone saw coming. so we're -- listen, this is the process we signed up for. there are no shortcuts. we've completely embraced it. we're completely committed to bringing the warriors to san francisco. >> rick welt, thanks. good luck to you and the warriors this year. >> thank you. >>> shortly after the interview of taped yesterday, the brooklyn nets basketball team showed interest in jason collins who revealed last year he's gay. if signed, collins would be the first openly gay player in the nba. >>> every year, the u.s.

i think of tier one as being a rule following culture. in other words, you create it and the success is i got through the list and i can do all of this reliably and repeatedly. that is quite different than an adaptive or proactive type culture, where in addition to having the rules and controls, you are actively identifying new changes preemptively. it is going from ace -- from a set of static controls to an immune system. controls are everywhere. but you asked an interesting question -- where will the federal government and up as we start doing profiles? i don't know. i think, because -- my suspicion is that since we have been mesmerized by control belications, we should not surprised to find ourselves near an implementation level that is focused on that, which would be ground one. but we will see. it will be quite interesting as we do that. >> final question. one of the things the panel talked about was the alignment of the business interests with the national interests. andme give you a scenario see how that would really change in the c

>> i think he is excellent. >> what did he bring for you? he has, number one, i believe him when he sent in an audition tape and when i had him come into the office, just i believed him, i believed him, he felt as though it was someone from high school, whom i had run into at the grocery store in omaha, there is just a familiarity about him and i thought others would feel that too and also will forte has a natural sweetness i think comes through on screen. >> someone wrote about you and said your characters, they described them as ruffled sorts, beached males and people who have become waylaid on life's highway, stopped somewhere short of their own expectations. does that resonate with you? >> it started with my co-writer and me that somehow the guy, the middle class guy who ask experiencing a discrepancy between who he would like to be and who he is became for us kind of a comic archetype and maybe that is what that writer is referring to. >> well i get asked sometimes why do you have such flawed hear -- character, is a typical question, fl

then i think it is your core, your gut. basicallyown to what's my conviction on this particular issue. >> you have two daughters, a son-in-law, and the future son-in-law? describe them. >> my daughters, i adore them. they have been the delight of my life. when we were having children, i wanted to have that little athlete, that little boy, but having girls i wouldn't trade it for anything. we have been very involved in their lives over the years. they had to put up with a lot. they grew up in a political family and all that comes with that, the good, the bad, and the ugly. hopefully they are not too jaded, but they are just really good girls. we are very grateful to have had the opportunity to have them in our lives, and one of them is married to a great guy, and the other is engaged to a great guy. that's a new stage in life for us, a new chapter, but it goes fast. i always tell people, don't because one day you're going to their offense and that piano recital or that soccer game or track meet, and all of a sudden they are i

i don't think he's ever recovered from that. not to this point. i don't think he's going to be able to do even a lot of small ball things. if the minimum wage is major, it's the wrong issue. the issue is not minimum wage. the issue is jobs. we have now roughly 40 million people in america who are either working part-time or who have given up looking for work, or are unemployed. 40million people in america. that's a disaster for america. and that -- he has to bear, like it or not, i'm not saying it's all his fault, but he has to bear the responsibility-- >> do you think a growing number of people do not believe what obama says? >> i think they -- i don't know that they believe it. i don't know how to measure that, okay? but i don't think they respect his policies to the degree that -- >>> okay. one obama initiative, minimum wage hike. >> in the coming weeks, i will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally-funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour. >> of course to reach millions more, congress does n

i think that the prospects are. our good indie great dynamite i sing to their good byes i think the united states who wants taiwan to become part of the ppp and other regional economic lot more unity of blocks that it is this a part of but the united states of course doesn't have the final say in the united states a sort of taken over ttp from others. and i think of that pushes too hard. there's going to be problems the united states is looking out for its own interest is it's not. if it is it's just not going to do things in it believes is is going to hurt its own interest and so it's not necessarily going to give away its own capital negotiating capital to get taiwan into these so the us will. will support taiwan but i think there are definite limits to what is willing to do them to support taiwan okay i don't think is willing to pay a very heavy price. so when it comes to you know the observer show and in various international organizations to have a practical purpose. i think the united states will support that.

>> guest: i think the better question is will it. and i don't think it will. i am in a think tank now with a hudson institute so i am looking at this objectively not as a commissioner. you don't have to keep calling me commissioner by the way. but it isn't like i will kercar on these titles forever. but it could be fewed to implement public policy the fcc might not be able to do as quickly. this happens with big mergers of this type. you have the largest cable company buying the second larnl largest. the big hurdle, and i mean legal big hurdle, and comcast agreed to a lot of stringent orders for net nutrality and the shared content they owned and pricing and build out and all of the rest. so if you are sitting at the fcc and we are in the wake of last months net nutrality decision by the court, and of course, policy objectives that you have, and i am not saying this is the way i would do it. transactions a used to shape the market so there are a a lot of things that could be used be it net nutralieutrality or what. this incredible power they will have over the

>> i think that is exactly right. d i also think that red the congress of the united states itself and especially the house, they are in a terrible way historically. the president of the united states has been saying i'm going to ignore you. the supreme court has grabbed immigration and racial issues and social and cultural and moral issues and the federal reserve, we heard that, we heard janet yellen talk about the market today. epa runs environmental issues and what exactly -- they are even losing the wer of the purse. i thought the battle was better and more justified on the budget issue. because the house can say that we are the ones who decide what the money is going to be spent upon. and we're not going to spend that on this one item called obamacare. but now you have all of these spending and allocations in all these things have been done and i think that congress would come off terribly if it said we're not going to pay for them afte having voted for them. neil: we know that you are right and the debt ceiling a

>> i think you can. i really do.his market the way they're giving us chances, it should be on your radar list. >> toyota, most profitable car company in the year. this morning they're saying they're going to see record profit in this fiscal year. the thing is that they are cautious on the emerging markets and specifically they said that financial markets in emerging economies are becoming stable untriggered by the fed's taper. they see an improvement when it comes to developing markets like the u.s. and north america but it is the emerging markets but specifically, interestingly, they cite thailand. they're seeing the visits to the showrooms really tapering off here because of the political unrest. and also the slow decline in the japanese yen because 40% of their global out spput is from japan to produce domestically. today it is down 1%. it has been caught up in the down draft of the japan stocks here. so it's hard to separate. but u.s. or international, steph, where would you go? >> it's hard. i want u.s., new pro

i. might have been hearing some. thinking. i would rather ask questions to people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.g.p. question more. oversight . did you know the press is the only industry specifically mentioning the constitution which says that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy schreck i'll just. go on. there are you know i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going on to money. we go beyond identifying to try to fix rational debate a real discussion critical issues facing now to buy them are ready to join the movement then welcome the big picture. welcome back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour the tragic passing of philip.
