i think they delighted in that. and think the years they spent in austin where they were all together in what is in some ways a very close town and a very easy town to be in, they described as being idyllic years, too. >> lucy watching us in wisconsin. hi, lucy. >> good evening. i'm enjoying this. my question is, when you were talking about laura's lack of faith after the accident, was there something that had happened that caused her to find god back in her life or as it -- something like george had -- billy graham. i was curious when she said she later came back and i wonder if there was something that drove her back to believing in god. >> thank you. >> i don't know that there was a catalyst, ann, you do know of anything that would have been catalytic in her life that would have led her to god? >> no. i agree with you. i think that the kind of modesty that she projects and shepherds that she means that she's not really given in the same way that her husband is to talking and witnessing her faith in a public fashio

>> i don't and i don't think that is necessary. you and i are both old enough to remember the 1986 bill. it really was it really was amnesty and not what the house is considering now. they have penalty and it is all sorts of stuff that are not amnesty at all. after the bill, only 40% of people who are eligible for citizenship applied. i think that what most people who are here as illegal immigrants, what they want is to get out of the 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. >> i guess my question, is will we have immigration reform in 2014? > if nancy pelosi and dick durbin, the the democrats, if they are right, they will not accept anything other than a path to citizenship, i don't think the path will pass. i don't think the house will pass that. i think what most immigrants

>> 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

i mean i think hillary clinton has been a good wife i think. in the public sphere and i mean i am a wife i am a mother i admire you know she her making her decision and her sticking with that i think you know she's done very well first off and i just i agree i don't think there's a lot to be gained from bringing this up we have so many years. i think you're kind of right i think he's just trying to play to the base a lot of people have a lot of personal fears about the clintons he thinks that he brings them up then that will sort of help increase this profile for now without having to get into anything too serious right i mean it's a bit of a cheap side and he's clearly running one hundred four republicans house republicans have signed as co-sponsors of the so-called stop this overreaching presidency. great acar stop act as a resolution that calls for a lawsuit against president obama over his use of executive orders to delay obamacare is employer mandate an act the dream act and allow people to get to buy junk insurance plans the actors pick u

i think. if we have a currency crisis i mean you know you're going to throw keynes out the window if you want to and if you want to solve it it's keynesian economics that is you know behind the crisis is following all this this nonsense i have a feeling you take that question is the name kansas not going to and i'm going to sell well for an event i had to throw it out there i'm right on it now gold it seems to be breaking out here what do you think is going on. well i think people are slowly waking up to reality they're not completely awake but we have got a lot of bad economic data now a lot of people want to dismiss it and say it's all weather related i think that's just an excuse i think it to date is too bad there's too much of it to blame it on the cold weather but i think people are starting to wake up to the idea that it's not as good as people thought and so people are gradually moving back into gold but i think it's just getting started i think that you still have a lot of naysayers a

i think it helps them to hear us. believe they want to learn from our experience and adopt what works in the context of their economy and their society. >> i assume cyber was at the top of your list. i assume currency was in the top of your list, too. has there been a change? >> i think we have seen progress in terms of the exchange rate gap closing. we pressed and pressed and pressed that they need to make more progress. until it is a market-determined exchange rate we are going to keep pressing. >> there should be a change in the dollar as the world reserve currency? >> i'm not sure i heard that exactly. i think they have a positive to be- desire for the rmb world currency. it goes with one to sit at the table. >> what do we think that? >> you can't be a true world currency if you don't have a market-determined exchange rate. i think they know that. i think they are on a path of making progress. we put out a currency report twice a year and are direct in pointing out interventions that we think are problematic. they

which is fine i think that that's the that's the main thing you know i created a character i think what i was four years old with my sister and people go what was your first job and i go like making money ok it was acting they were walking happy and i was when i was four years old my sister made the tickets for a character that i created called funny cowboy and for fifty cents my parents would pay and i would basically just set up a bunch of props around the room and be like i'm funny cowboy and just trash the whole room. and that was it but let's talk about we talk about a lot of it was first told first about killer joe one of the bill while those crazy is insane to movies i've ever seen directed by bill for it's a romantic comedy. when you got the script what did you think well. when i first read killer joe i didn't know about the play or the tracy letts of it all you know the guy who wrote the play he also wrote august osage county which i had seen and actually love to be gone and it took me a minute to put it together but when i read the script i didn't quite realize that it was a c

so i think other states are pursuing it and following along. you know, there are a lot of things happening in states that are -- how should i put this? -- that are interesting. [laughter] one of the, one of the cornerstones by which what the federal government did to help pay for this -- and, incidentalally, one of our arguments have been all along we're going to pay for it whether we take it or not, everybody's going to pay for it whether you take it or not, but one aspect of how you afor the federal health care and the proposed medicaid expansion as well as other aspects of the health care act is that medicare reimbursements to hospitals have been reduced. those reductions in medicare reimbursements to hospitals are going to occur. with or without medicaid expansion. and so what happens is those hospitals take the hit without any corresponding offset. and even with the offset in most instances, they're still actually projected to lose more money than what the offset with the medicaid expansion covering the uncompensated care. well, the other d

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

i don't think - we are different. e are like night and day and thunder and lightening, but we manage. i don't think our perspectives were that different. >> grace and dave, do you have different perspectives of diversity. >> i don't think we do. i think we were on the same page as that. >> mikey says: and: >> coming up when are cheerios controversial. >> since they featured an interracial couple. >> why do they spur controversy in 2014. we'll get that in on the other side of the break. telling stories... >> she doesn't wanna come as someone who was manipulative. >> revealing secrets... >> information became our most powerful weapon... >> taking chances... >> everyone that was involved in the clandestant movement, had a code name. >> each week, a new eye opening experience. >> now they're going to go to jail... >> al jazeera america presents... remarkable documentaries ♪ >> you know how our family has daddy and mommy. >> and me. >> yeah, that's right. pretty soon, you are going to have a baby brother . >> and a puppy. >

i don't think keystone is one of them. t think he wants to have his hand forced on this just yet. not abundantly clear why that's the case after the state department gave a green light in their report, but i think that's still the case. look, i don't think republicans want to go to the brink, which we understand will be about february 27th on the debt ceiling from treasury. after the impact that they have felt from shutting down the government and all the blowback over obamacare. i don't think it's going to come to that. it doesn't mean there won't be pressure to try to negotiate. >> right. and continued discussions about obamacare the more we get reports like this. david, it's great to see you. thank you for your time. >> appreciate it. >> catch senators chuck schumer and rob portman on "meet the press" this sunday. you can check your local listings for the show time. >>> now, what's clicking on our website as we ride into the weekend? "the hot list" is coming up next. we've been asking what impact do you think weather has

>> i think so, yeah. i mean, i think you've got to keep knit perspective. but you also have to keep in perspective that the dollar, in our view, is going to be strong. the key trade for us is slower euro/sterling, long sterling/swiss is our favorite trade. >> how much cheaper is it going to get for me to go skiing, then? >> it could go quite a long way. dwr really? >> i think the swiss in particular, if we start seeing inflation zone -- >> i think this should be your trade. >> really? >> yeah. >> what is the target? we see 1.55, 1 .60, really, as -- working on both sides, really, working with stronger pound but also we think at some point this safe haven swiss money will start to come back. >> big surplus there. i don't know. >>> european equities, a little bit mixed. we're flat, really. we had some big gains, the ftse up 1.5% yesterday. the italian and spanish markets up over 2%. pretty flat ahead of the employment report. why wouldn't you be? >> ten-year note inching higher in terms of yields. 2.70 we're trading. no concern as far as that omt, a decision

it's necessarily repeating and the reason i don't know is that i think it is that the money has got such a hold you know it's very easy for the states just come in and out i mean part of this is not just mt gox it's the fact that you know people in russia people in japan they said where they're making different pronouncements on the money on corning and they're saying that you know what i can accept as a result loses its value now mt gox is the third biggest exchange in the world and represents around fourteen percent of the total bill traded just last week alone now mt gox said customers would still not be able to transfer declines from a mt gox wallet turn external decline to trust on monday however it added that if they acquired transaction to any mt gox decline address and currency withdrawals and yann euro etc would not be affected by this issue what does this mean for between holders are they going to get their money back or not you know it's not a free. currency you know when we talk about bitcoin before we're talking about you know transactions that are free flowing and

i actually think they're right about that. have said that all that we've done to bolster the economy is created over 5 million jobs or supported 5 million jobs. i happen to agree with that. my hunch is that some of my republican colleagues won't agree with those cbo reports so i think there is room for debate about this. connecticut has raised minimum wage by 45 cents. we did it on january 1st. we're going to do it again next january 1st. we'll eventually get to $10.10 by january 1st of 2017. we know that in our state almost 60% of people earning a minimum wage are women. nationally only 12% of people earning minimum wage are teenagers. we know that the vast majority of people earning the minimum wage are in fact trying to raise a family and we believe that we should have a minimum wage that's at least as high as it was in 1968, adjusted for inflation. >> you don't necessarily need the feds to do it because you are doing it in your state. >> we are doing it in our state. >> i have to move you on. you'll get a chance to talk to

i think one thing that will really and we discussed it a little bit, i completely concur with exploring all possible actions with shell and without shell and other contractors like shell or do it in house which i think the advocates are most supportive of that. one thing that i have noticed is that we have not heard from the sfpuc or from any other source that i know of exactly what is going on right now with the shell contract. that was put on holdback in august and we have not heard. i think we should ask sfpuc to clarify what's going on with that. as far as the whole thing, i think the key here is that even if the sfpuc gets considerably more involved and starts doing it own work on build out and cleanpowersf and gets back in the game. i think back where we let them take the ball back. this is the moment where we need to lafco stay the drive of this. this is politics. the key with the sfpuc is that as an enterprise agency that is in charge of rate payers and keeping the system secure, they are mandated to be secure about this. lafco can really push the envelope in developing an rfp t

>> i don't think so. i can't recall having that. to add to the conversation about the children. and he said that he went to find the bible. it used to be very, very difficult to find brown dolls and i would always want to get my girls a doll that was pink like their father, because they always refer to their father as pink, right. and a brown doll that looked like me i found a book that actually had like, you know, a pink daddy and a brown mommy and this kind of thing. so we always try to have a balance in the girls lives and so they have a balanced perspective and they would actually love the whole of themselves, okay? >> yeah. and. >> and it worked out well. but, no, i don't think. we are like night and day and thunder and lightning but we manage. i don't think our perspectives were that different. >> grace, and dave do you have different definitions of diversity? >> i don't think we do. i think we are pretty on the same page with that. >> we have some community coming in. mikey says not just i want racial couples have problems, b

here's a very straightforward one, response i think, i think bob maybe to mention this. the question is, what with the additional sanctions that were put in place yesterday? >> my understanding, i haven't been through the treasury trease announcement but my understand is that these were entities in a bunch of countries around the world, six, seven, eight, which were involved in mediation of the existing sanctions. so they weren't new sanctions. under the joint plan of action, the u.s. pledges not to impose new sanctions. these, involved in the execution of existing sanctions, but there are sanctions against evaders of the sanctions regime. and these various entities in six or seven.com including countries allied to the united states, were seen as deserving of this treatment. the iranians predictably reacted against this, but the u.s. administration has informed them several times that the current commitment is not to impose new sanctions, new legislation, new executive orders and so forth, and that it will continue to implement existing sanctions. that is what was done. i

i don't know about you but as a board member i don't think i want to work with that. i feel that we should be using some of the revenue to help retain the teachers, yes, because 50% leave within the first five years but i think there is polling and surveying to do among the membership to what teachers would like. i think if we ask teachers if they would like to live together in one complex you might get different answers from that and personally my husband being a i wouldn't want to live in a complex with all police officers or fellow board members so there we go. i also wanted to ask you about that space i just drove by the other day at the 42nd avenue site and i am wondering all these sites we aren't currently using that site at all? is that correct? >> the 42nd site is currently used for two things. it's used for the storage for the special education department so there's a lot of records there, and it's being used as it always has been by the principal's union that maintain office there, but the building is such lousy shape we're not encouraging permits to have ac

like when i think of l.a., i don't think of nighttime. i think of daytime. and palm trees and i think of new york city and broadway and times square, and the excitement at night. >> the "tonight show" right back where it should be at nyc. also the 12:30 show, seth meyers, starting next week will be in new york city. so new york once again, the center of the entertainment universe. >> can i say, in our old office, by the way, which they deserve. >> absolutely deserve it. look, fallon has this winning way. he's got this every man's sweetness. the sort of boy next door, comic genius. i love him. i loved him at 11:30. i think it's going to be great. part of what i love is that music will be integrated into the show like nothing else in late night. we've seen branford marcellus and quest love and the roots behind him. it's not just like let's have a performance, but let's take the musical performances and juice them to a different level. let's have sketches that involve them in a more interesting way. look at this with how he did with justin timberlake. ♪ ♪ yo yo

i think is a question others will have to determine. my feeling personally is that probably he and james clappers together.re a cell i say that somewhat tongue-in- cheek. you cannot be for the letter of the law and throwing the book at snowden without been saying james clapper committed perjury and we will let him get off scott free and do nothing. we had to consider applying the law equally. >> last year you made a big splash and he said congress should do something. they are hard on this a very hopeful that something getting done. you ended up voting against the senate bill last year. about two things. first, what changed for you in that? we sell the house republicans balking about going that far? what changed? republicans need to pass something before the election? >> i never really change my position. i propose an amendment that would have allowed for that. each year there would be a report in congress would get to vote on the report on whether or not the border is becoming more secure. that allows congress to still have input not ju

i think that -- would i reach them? a few. but i think we start this conversation and reach the few and build from there. that is how we move forward. [ applause ] >> that is all of the time we have for this evening. i am like to send a very warm thank you to heather and ian and rich and the team at d-mos that made this evening happening. if you have not checked out "dog whistle politics" we have a couple copies by the it register. have a lovely evening. >> thanks heather. [ applause ] >> you are watching booktv, non fiction authors and books every weekend on c-span 2. >> financial times columnist tim harford talks about his new book "the undercover economist strikes back" he talks about aboutic -- talks about economics -- and the world. >> welcome to everyone. i am douglas and i am a policy annal -- analyst for global forum. as many of you know, pj was here last night talking with his new book, and it happens i was amused to see that he is featured in tim's book. the first chapter starts with a quote by him i will read it to

i think there's more to be said on that. i don't think it can be said in public session. >> let me put it different. wouldn't you agree with me that the united states government has misled the courts, whether purposely or inadvertently in justifying this program on the basis that all telephone records are collected? >> again, i'm not prepared to confirm any of the reports that have been made. so i don't want to draw any conclusions about representations that were made in any court proceedings. >> let me then just move on to a separate line of questioning. is it fair to say from your report that the present bulk metadata collection program is unjustifiable under existing law? >> that's the conclusion of the majority of the board, yes. >> it is illegal? >> yes. it's not consistent with section 215 authority. >> so in order to continue it, if the congress chooses to do so, we would have to change the statute? >> that's the majority's view. although, again, the majority would also counsel that even if you change the statute and r

i don't think it is that bad. expert on it but i don't think that businesses should be a medical provider. the ceo has enough trouble with his own business, what the hell is he a medical provider for. neil: the businesses that are complaining saying this is costly, you say? >> i would like to understand what they are saying, i think just another excuse if they are not having good earnings. i really think, my opinion -- i go back to my basic opinion, a no brain ir, you must -- you have -- here is a no-brainer, i can make, i am no joanious oz manages companies, i go to a company almost any company say 30% make that company turn it around, which i have done over and over, it tells you one thing. thathat company is terribly run, there is no accountability. and here is why the little guy will get hurt. it sounds corny as hell. i am a kid from queens, i grew up on the streets, only in this great country, i have done what i have done. i could never have done it in any other strait fid society, i hate to see us lose our -

the butler i don't think quite measured up. sorry. in the academy and get a vote then. >>i'll work on that for next year. >>i also want to ask you a questiona little game here. let's talk about the best performing film stock. who wins in that category? >>if i had to guess based on this question, i would think that maybe disney had the best year. even with the lone ranger debacle i think that disney probably had the best year with their marvel connections. >>we checked on this and here's a listand the winner is dreamworks. up 83% since the last academy awards. >>well they had the croods last year which was a big success for them. coming later this summer they have how to train your dragon 2 which is gonna be a monster success. it's gonna make the lego movie look like a little film compared to that. so that's not too surprising. they don't release a lot of movies so that's a big number for them. >>that was the stock to own. and you can find more of erik's picks at rogerebert.com and of course the academy awards airs sunday night at 7 o'

really i think that people had some. very high hopes six years ago when we elected our first black president. i know i certainly did and things of late haven't been going so well. i think that there is never been in my recent memories the divisive nature of and the assert big nature of the conversation. overly friendly and there's no civility and i also and i know that i'm probably going to get lots of mail don't send me mail i don't read negative mail but. i also see a lot of mediocre politicians or just people you know. i wouldn't let due monday in things in my house somehow image that they know mom for a living they but they get elected to high office and then we're all surprised when everything gets screwed up and we are enticed as a country just seems to be by things that we shouldn't be enticed from i mean how do you look how do you dance you know can you do a split what's your favorite charity who cares what is the gravitas of who you are as a person and what have you proven. and we elect people who are mayors and

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

dimanche the hotel month and i think i think it was two hundred forty six times it was a record amount and this is when we will go count so i really think it's going over very me just save take in india's go to moan which is absolutely not the case if you look at the way the keys analyzes go to month in china and he does it in a much more methodical and he investigates much more deliveries on the shanghai gold exchange and actually trying to just go back in two thousand and eleven and i mean you really should be talking about gold demand in china but we should be looking at how they're developing the gold market as a whole from the supply on the demand side facilitating sales what's happening with exchanges here they're allowed to trade dominates exchanges and of course you know there's lots of discussions about what's happening with the reserves and that's just a whole other. story and so i think of china there's a lot of talk now telling us that they're going to announce that they've got not a thousand or two thousand but a number considerably higher than that yeah i think you know i

>> i think so. and you know, after his big year last year, he was very controversial in a lot of quarters. obviously for some of the tactics he used, the long filibuster put him on everybody's radar. but i think his -- he and others like marco rubio are saying, you know, we're trying to bring some ideas forward that could actually be useful to the party. and as you said, heritage is one of those outside groups that is trying to say hey, we're going to change tactics and play a little more inside game to try to make the establishment more comfortable with what we're doing. but i think even jim demint, you talked about the immigration reform. if you recall last year, heritage rolled out their immigration piece, and the author of the study, which, you know, sort of cast doubt on this idea that immigrants would help the economy, turned out to have had other writings that a lot of people found were racist. you know, i think this is the problem that this think tank and others are facing as they go forward

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 the comments about the base has been addressed. the large door and breaking down the facade in the bays is successful. i personally don't have a preference brown whether it's 4 bays or 6 bays. as i said the ar c meeting i think the plaza is a - will be a wonderful space. it improves the context for the roof fountain. i don't have a particular concern about the stockton street facade with exception maybe setting precedent. some of the things that have not been addressed from the ar c ru6 address one of the scale i don't see the project have changed role significantly enough to change the scale. we could i guess debate whether it brings it down to the pedestrian level or not that's up for debate. i expressed a concern there's no corn on this building it would be in the middle of the block and the design is the same. the height of the building and the staff analysis says it matches the adjacent building bus it's only the bar building it matches. i continue to have concern about the height. the other two buildings at least one of them t

she basically answered in a very strongly fashion, a very simple way, and i think that -- that that'sat. that means that we're going to see the fed become more transparent. and i kind of believe that that is going to be quite good in terms of people understanding what the central bank is trying to do. and there's no question that, you know, she's going to be a very open fed chair lady, someone that you can understand, and i think that she has made that very clear to the markets, and, you know, the markets are the best barometer of -- of indicating whether or not they are going to have a love affair. and i think with today's positive market reaction, the answer is yes. >> what are the hallmarks of the yellen philosophy? what should we know about what she sees when she looks at the operation of the economy. >> i think the course that janet yellen has taken into the position of chair has -- has in one sense taken off some of the edges of a truly personal fed chair. you ask if yellen will be different than bernanke, and i think the answer is maybe not. imagine what it is to be the fed cha

>> i think it was probably art speigelman's mouse. that was pro found teaching me about the holocaust in comic book format. >> probably the first comic i saw was in a bathroom at a christian youth group. it was a tract, and it scared me, and it was powerful. but i didn't decide to get into comics until i picked up some of the 90s independent comics, like thb and slow jams and moby, like back issues. >> our community, we asked the same question: and we just got this question for willow. it's a little pointed. brian asks, what would muslim miss marvel have done on 9-1-1? >> well, she was four years old, so not a lot. when we talk about the burden of representation, this is what i'm talking about. the idea that a young, teenage muslim girl from jersey city is somehow able to represent at the age of four, the muslim people, and i think that people would know if they sat down and thought about it, but it doesn't stop us from projecting onto other people. >> let me make a point here. we need to understand that just because somebody is a mino

i think that is how he sees it. is just a series of unexpected crises that you have got to negotiate while at the same time thinking about your long-term object does and how do you make progress towards them. >> jimmy carter. torageous decisions having do with camp david, having to do with the panama canal area he took on what many people said, wait until the second term. >> and i think we have to give carter credit for that, and as time goes on, i think we will. it is a little bit like what happened to john kennedy. in 1960 one, privately people said to kennedy, you should do civil rights and the nuclear test ban treaty, and thinking, i cannot do it until my second term. there are too many in servitudes from the south in the senate and the house, and by 1963, the political environment had changed and allowed him to do that. had that not had happened, he would have been assassinated in 1963 without two of his main accomplishments because he would have been dealing them until 1965. >> jimmy carter. let me come back t

but, i think that the... >> with the land use? >> i think that it is 1:30. obviously i am going to give you guys more concrete when it becomes clear when they actually do agendaize it. but, i just wanted to follow up with you so it did not feel like it was left hanging and there would be repetitive for us to do and i think that his request for the presence of transit and bart and any of the others that they can get to come it will be a much more weighty discussion and will not be last, as far as i can tell, my request is that our office begin a conversation that it will not begin and end with one hearing. because it is a very big obviously important topic for this commission. >> i have a question. first, because they are holding a hearing, why shouldn't we have a discussion here prior to that hearing from our venue owners? at least with our venue owners and people like that? >> it is not that we should not, it is just that i want to be mindful of their time and i want to make sure that... >> they don't have to come here, possibly we can ask the public to come

i think i have got everything i need. >> what do you think he means by that? he looks a little stumped there. >> it is interesting the pace of technology. he is very big on cars. ford decided to go with him blackberry over microsoft in cars. he thinks we will not necessarily be holding a device in the palm of our hands, but embedded in everything we use like cars and our homes. sensors will be everywhere. --i think it's recognizing he is recognizing where the assets really are. that turnaround was quite successful. he is bringing a new approach to blackberry and recognizing that may be the software is a valuable thing. selling the- devices themselves may not be a strong suit, which is what the previous manager was trying to do. a $5hole company has billion evaluation. in barcelona with our caroline hyde. coming up, facebook buying whatsapp. softbank once a stake in lime.pp's competitor, ♪ >> welcome back to "bloomberg west." i am emily chang. t-mobile has announced a third loss for a consecutive quarter. that is because subscriber gains resulted in higher cost

>> i think it's probably substantive, but i don't think, again, the supreme leader is still the supreme leader, and i think he whom they have nope each other for over 30 years, work ged together before, and i think the supreme leader has faith and confidence, but if he does not produce, if there is not some indication of improvement in the iranian economy because the extent that it degrades, that, of course, threatens the long term viability of the regime, so i do believe it's genuine, but it's pragmatic. >> does our intelligence community have a role to play in verifying whether the iranians live up to the commitments made in the original -- >> yes, we do. >> and do you think it's possible for us to have realistic verification? >> i do because of the extensive additional surveillance authorities that will be given to the iaea. >> final question, and, general, i don't mean to be ignoring you, but directer clapper, you talked about snowden and the difference between a whistle blower and a person doing harm to the country. would you expand on why he's not a whistle blower or a hero? >> i'

i think that matters, i think job loss matters. i think productivity matters. i think all those factors matter and i think regardsless -- so, first of all, i think all those factors matter. and second of all, this at its core refutes the notion that businesses are not going to add jobs because of the affordable care act. >> you seem to be dismissing the effect, even if it's by choice, people not productively paying into the economy. paying, for example, social security tax toward a system that's increasingly based on fewer and fewer workers. >> there's a labor supply that's important. you look at something like immigration reform. it's a real motivation for immigration reform, to have more talented people contributing to our economy, creating jobs, adding to the overall strength of our economy. i think that certainly matters. but i think, again, you have to factor in the way in which people make different choices, they have different options, and when health costs are lower, you know, we as a country have a better set of options than we would have otherwise had

i think as people look out over the near horizon, i don't think many of us are seeing things we're going to change kind of our thinking on investment and hiring and so forth. as you look overseas at the emerging markets, i think some of the fed action is having an effect on that and it's influencing how companies are thinking about investment and so forth. but there hasn't been any great cat lit clis mick effect, right? i think our response is more to the fed than anything else. >> you said around the globe, you have some companies that may be having changes in investment strategies based on what the fed is doing. has at&t changed knit investment strategies as a result of the fed tightening? >> no. we're investing heavily in the mobile internet. we have been now for five years and we've basically told the street that we've got another $21 billion investment and we're going to make this year, in 2014. and i don't see that changing anything we're doing right now. >> what would change your behavior? is there anything that you can see from consumer spending or is this all about the long-term

i would actually think that that it actually it's putting the cart before the horse. i would want to get the maintenance records before i actually accept the bus because depending on what i find in the maintenance records i may decide not to accept it, and so why would i accept something without actually having all of the information about its mechanical history? i don't understand that. >> well, we -- i think in the process here in terms of accepting a particular bus we would go through and new flyer is responsible to make repairs until we accept it so part of what we do when the bus is turned over to sf mta on the property is develop a punch list which is a list of components or failures that we go through them and all of them have to be corrected and signed off and inspected before we inspect the bus so we know not only on the individual buses but on the data and have a record of all of the problems the buses incurred. there was a number of things whether they related to software or some mechanical problem that were discovered while the buses were in route and we wi

>> you know, i think gold could easily go up. i thought it would make a bottom earlier this year, but i guess i'm still thinking about those yards of dust because when i think of going yard, i think of a home run, and i think the fed has allowed corporate profits to go three yards. we're talking 900 foot home runs. so corporate profits are going great. dani is worried today. i have been worried for two years. but being worried in this environment doesn't mean you necessarily short the market. but as i look up at the fixed income and i have been harping on this, here we are, we've seen a 2.69% yield in tens while the s&p is flirting with all-time highs. i know you have jim coming up, and that's great, but i think i have the best soothsayer in the world. just looking at these interest rates that failed to follow the stock market up tell me that it's all not good in investment land, but picking tops and picking bottoms is always a dicey endeavor. >> yes, it is. and, look, that's what it comes down to. going back to this question as w

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

it is both i think. think back to fact that 41 wents have not given their -- witnesses he not given their testimony, lerner pleaded the fifth, we heard nothing from the justice department, yet obama said there is not a smidgen of corruption, no judge in america would declare a verdict before the closing of the trial this very suspicious, and emails in congress make it more suspicious, what is going on? there is a lot more than a smim edge o smidgen of corruption. neil: to go after conservatives, and those shear numbers, at top. showing close to 600 conservvtive groups targeted versus 6 on liber side, the numbers alone indicate a pattern, of targeting that cannot be ignored, they are not accidental. >> neil, you mentioned e-mails that is interesting, since 1959, there have been a set of rules in place, they are by which you get tax exempt status, every president sinciz eisenhower has used them without any problem, so now president obama said these are the problem with tea party targets and have to be chang

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

i think they sell that at a bodaga near my house. (laughter) supposedly made from real giraffe balls but i don't know, it's unregulated. not that i didn't get results with it but it's hardly worth $1.5 billion investment, unless i'm somehow misinterpreting everything about the corporation dong energy because of the relatively juvenile attachment to the word dong. (laughter) but you know what, look how the danish people took to the streets. you know you've made it as a corporation when the majority of the country is willing to brave subzero temperatures to keep you out of its country when you haven't even done anything yet. are you there yet, bitcoin? oh, there you go. that's-- yeah. well, that's the start of a protest. are you sure that process isn't based on magic of the tiny gathering? >> (laughter) baby step, bitcoin, we'll be right back. right back. (c [ male announcer ] when you switch to sprint's new framily plan, friends are like family, so who's gonna be in yours? how about a few facebook friends? [ male announcer ] but the mo

i think they made a mistake. it's the first time ever i called my desk today to look at the borrow on facebook. i'm thinking of shorting it. >> wow. you bring up an issue, kevin, that actually goes back to when facebook listed. dan bigman at "forbes" is writing about how facebook ownership structure should scare investors more than the botched ipo. his price was effectively the fact that this dual-class structure gives zuckerberg a yes/no vote on pretty much everything. he says, you aren't betting on the business when you buy facebook. you're effectively betting on zuckerberg. that's a good bet, but it does raise this issue. if you're shorting the company, you're shorting mark zuckerberg. >> i haven't shorted it yet. i'm going to look at it for the fist time. it's now telling me there isn't a due process involved. i would have questioned, had i been on this board, what's the cost of emulating this business? would it cost me less than $19 billion to do this? could i have bought another messaging service, added my f

>> i think that depends on the brand. so i can tell you that a lot of the brands absolutely got their money's worth. and there's definitely some out there where the creative didn't have a strong message or a strong call to action. and there's some examples like mozaradi, i thought it was a great ad reminiscent to apple. and then i went to their website to find out the vehicle was only $60,000. why wasn't that in the ad? there was no additional information or no way to figure out how to purchase the car or get a test drive. i saw a lot of brands make the year where they were driving people to a website that just had the commercial i watched and didn't sort of push me through the purchase funnel. so in that case, hopefully the brands can see this and know better for next year. >> that's extraordinary because everyone now talks about multi-platform strategy in the fallout. that can't be done by accident. someone must have decided there wouldn't be an ability to fallout, wouldn't they? >> it boggles my mind. i have no idea wha

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.
