i would point out to the committee that the staff is there. there is not a question of more staff, of course the department will get additional staff in each year, but i do want to know that the staff, the big increase in staff has been in this space. and we are not questioning in fact, we are making a recommendation to approve this lease based on the recommendation that it's over crowded. i simply want to mention to the committee that the staff is there and have been operating this space. >> just on the staffing, do you have the staff that came on over the years that was between 1999 and the present that we gone from 62 to over a hundred. i see in your report to 7 staff. did the majority come on in the last couple of years or over the last 10 years and maybe 5 years ago we saw the highest level of staff. >> we have not made that analysis supervisors. i think the department can respond to that. on page 21 we point out that currently the employee's retirement system, $524,000 of annual rent at the city owned building at 30 van ness. in cable two

then i would strip down, and i would rape them.es keep my victims anywhere from three to five hours at a time. >> seemingly, he was pretty bold about how he did his crimes. because of the fact he would always reveal himself. these women would know who he is. but the fact is, "a," he was a very big guy. i mean he had been in prison for a while when we met him. so i can only imagine when he was younger, how much more powerful he was. but also, the way he was able to not get caught for the most part was the threat he imposed on each and every one of his victims. >> intimidation was my big play. i would literally, after performing the rapes, the physical rapes, i would literally scare these women to death. >>> coming up -- >> my motivation for becoming a serial rapist actually extends back to when i was 18 years old. >> our interview continues. >>> i'm melissa ray burger. utah is taking the law of same sex marriage to a higher court. meanwhile, a federal judge upheld most of new york state's top new gun control laws that require backgr

i would not assume that it would be. and it is certainly not to the chief of the officers, but, according to it might be a legal counsel thing that i don't know, we will make this recommendation, >> okay. >> thank you. >> yes. >> we as it came out of my office, we were comfortable with shall. and i am comfortable with recommending that it be modified to shall, and if there needs to be subsequent discussion with council we will have that discussion and for some reason, i don't suspect that this will turn into a deal breaker and it should not be so we will probably be back with further discussion and i don't think that that will be the case >> okay. >> i would like to add something that i hope that will not be a deal breaker also. first, kevin, i want to say thank you so much for the effort that you have put in. i received a list of meetings and they have gone over for two years. and this is, and this shows for tenacity that you have to put us on firm footing with our police department and that we make sure that our, and th

i wish he would see me. i am certainly not going to barge into his office. if he doesn't want to see me, i will go someplace else in fort lee and talk to people. i wish the mayor would reconsider. i have come to genuinely apologize to him. if he doesn't want a meeting, i don't know what he means -- what were the words? premature and disruptive, i don't know how the meeting between two elected officials and the premature and disruptive. that is his choice. i will meet with other people in fort lee. >> [inaudible] >> i have no knowledge of that. we would consider that in the normal course of business. certainly not something that i am prepared to talk about now. >> can you explain why -- [inaudible] >> i think there was an earlier story. i don't remember exactly. something about traffic. >> why didn't you respond then? >> we did. we were told it was a traffic study. >> but the mayor is saying -- >> we were told they did a traffic study. that is what we were told. we did respond. that is how we responded. again, i am not somebody who is going to be getting into

also i would encourage you to look into oakland lake. again i implore you to perform a full environmental impact statement. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is dan, you did pronounce it right. thank you. the wild equity institute, the definition of equity, the state quality or ideal of being just, impartial and fair. i questionnaire the impartiality. i question the give and take in this process. i would encourage you guys to stick with the path that you are going down. they talk about an in equitable relation. this golf course has existed for 80 years. coexisted in a very good fashion. you talk about a biologically i mpoverished world you would not be able to find a wild life in a park. what's the creation of a more in just world. nature itself isn't always just and fair. we lose thousands of species every year on this planet. i'm for the work that you guys do, but i believe we can coexist and continue to maintain a golf course and save the snakes and the frogs which is what i think you are trying to do with this project. a couple of

so i would not recommend it to most couples. not couples therapy. >> no, i can see it going very wrong. >> but i love it. it's really enjoyable for me and i miss it when we're not doing it. >> and is the -- do you then say okay, read that back to me? i don't know what your process is like but do you edit as you go or do you try and get it all down in one go? >> i have a lot of difficulty leaving a sentence un-done or half-done and always have had. while i'm right at it, sitting side by side and sort of hovering over the screen . so i can plate much see what's going on. >> tilt the screen that way so he sees it as i'm typing. >> and then sometimes she would tilt it back. >> also walking behind me. >> tell me about the situation to then tell the world. >> well what struck me was that the degree of defeat, sense of defeat in people who were in parkinson's. and people who die in complications of parkinson's. i want to know, in spite of the fact i might be foretelling my own obituary. but judge like right now, i'm just skipping a beat

>> i would agree. >> i don't agree. >> and chairman hundt, if you would indicate you do not agree there needs to be statutory update? >> i think the d.c. circuit has made it clear that the '96 act has given the authority to the fcc to address all of the economic and social problems that this committee in recent years and in past years has asked the fcc to address. >> other than distinguished h e members? >> i agree with what chairman hundt has said. it's nice to have additional clarity but time is of the essence here. we have a statute that i think can deliver on a lot of the things that need to be delivered and we should be about that. it is so difficult to see the correlation of forces coming together to give birth to an act after what we went through in 1996, and i don't think it will be any easier in 2014 to do that than it was 18 years ago. >> chairman powell? >> i think by any measure a deliberate process would take a number of meaningful years which is recognized in setting out a multiyear process. i think there are sufficient conditions to justify institution of that kind of exa

i would like to thank you. i know there are a number of items who are forwarded with possible legislation to codify the surface mounted utilities. we'll take the feedback into account. and before i wanted to briefly invite dpw up and at&t up if they want to make a brief comments to respond to anything. i do want to just note one thing. there were some references during the hearing to not allowing tata -- at&t to put the boxes up and there is some moratorium. for those who believe the boxes should not be on the sidewalks, that is a legitimate point of view, state law is not the friend to that view. state law from sacramento gives at&t as a public utilities certain very clear rights to utilize public right-of-way. i'm not saying that is a great thing, but that is what state law provides. similar to state law not allowing us, you remember when local government used to be able to telecom cast what channels to offer and sacramento took that away from us. we are, i think there are those of us who want to very much mak

as we move forward i would like, and we would have it and i would like to have it and i would like to know how many times are arrested in schools, and if any of those arrests are for things that don't happen in schools. and because basically our idea that there should not be any arrests in schools, for something that happens outside of the schools. unless i would like us to pay attention to this and about whether how that standard is working and what the results are by telling us. and the things that happened outside of school. one of our we have had to do it and we have the police department, about if the purchase and it is part of the police department's community policing strategies and it is supposed to be about establishing it. and changing some of the perceptions of the police out in the community, and perceptions of the community, it seems to not look at schools as a place where we can get kids and they may want to arrest for some reason. and so i just wanted to say that and hope that we can get some reporting on that. thanks for the work. i know this was a huge amount of work.

if i would make of a list of the films i like, it would far outnumber the number of novels i would liken that period of time. >> you have seen more films than novels you've like? >> yes. i have been very fortunate. a lot of fine films have been made in my time. artists depends on the who write the work at the time he is writing. a lot of good artists working at the time you are writing. what is about the film as an art form that you like so much? >> surprise and familiarity. the sense of being embraced by something i have known for a long time very well and the knowledge that it may contain something pleasantly novel, something expanded. i am not talking about thrills or plot twists, but extended knowledge of my own experience. form.s a meretricious it is so easily powerful. -- therenothing easier is a tremendous imaginative tickle that everyone gets from film. since the time i was a little kid, i was very blonde when i was tiny. god was very kind to me, took my hair away when i was 30. thatvery 500,000 cubans look more typically latino, they throw one or two and to check and find out w

croix would call me. i came back a week later to find out why no one had called me and she said that the mayor would be complying starting next month, even though the notice period is 15 days under the law. i asked a series of questions, has there been into complaints so far? do you have any documents relative to? and to seech question she responded i'm not clear on that, after i had gotten that same answer four or five times it was clear to me this was just another cover-up, even before the facts had been established. you have to realize that this comes on top of the abuse and dishonest that we get every place else. i mean, if the mayor's office is just a gang, and the library commission is just a gang, and there is no reason why you should be socially responsibility, because the ethics commission is just a gang, then we're just going around in circles. you have to realize that this is, in fact, cover-up. mr. st. croix sees himself, obviously, as a situation where everybody else in the city is mostly hones

i would like to see some urgency on this because this is serious. i appreciate your efforts and the activist and the media attention to this and the bike coalition. i like to thank the independent media such as san francisco guardian that brought this to our attention earlier and so forth but i would like -- i would be happy to see a followup and commitment on this and i appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. next speaker, please. >> good evening. everybody. i'm a community organizer working hard with a great group of pedestrian on our safety campaign. this safety issue tends to be more of an issue in san francisco, but in low income areas. we feel ignored by the law enforcement when it comes to public safety issues. and i like what someone said today is we need to change the cultural understanding regarding this idea of these fatalities being accidents or crimes. we need to take it more seriously in the way that it affects everybody and holds the people who are causing these fatalities responsible. but also we're hoping that l

i would like to comment because i will suggest that we take dr. let me explain why. i believe that the expansion is large and -- the building is not unreasonable and i agree with the design review since this project is code compliant. it does not do anything exceptional or extraordinary. when i looked at the drawing no. 310, together with the alternative set of roof plans which the applicant has provided, i would like to make the following comment. on the proposed drawing, 3.10, i believe the 3-12 is too flat a pitch. i believe the alternative drawing alternative 3.1 is too steep a pitch. that is a 12 x 12-pitch and excessive and alien to its neighbors. what i would like to suggest is we consider a pitch of 6 x 12 which makes it steeper and brings it to a slightly more slender building expression particular with the caveat that we would hold a roof overhang and trim at a consistent line. we get a slightly steeper pitch which is a 6 x 12 and i do believe it will be a better looking building. that would be my first suggestion. it's very easy to draw a 6 x 12-pitch. i w

i would get downtown and i would bug the people on the streets. i was down at the penny arcade in beaumont. it was a sunday. there is nobody downtown on a sunday. i got up on the shoeshine stand, the fellow was there shining shoes. i was playing and singing and all of a sudden, one or two people come by, three or four getting out of church or a movie. they would stop and listen for a minute. all of a sudden, people started throwing nickels and dimes and quarters and pennies and a dollar bill or two. when it was all over with, i had $24. i had never seen that much money in my life. i went crazy. the arcade was right behind me. i had a ball. that is what happened to me a lot. >> what ever happened to the money? early on, you found out that you could earn your way by singing. >> it grew into a religion for me, country music. i loved it so much. when i knew that people like to hear me as much as i like to sing to them, i could make a living at this. >> did you know what you had? johnny cash said, people ask me who is my favorite country artist and i sa

require though is like i've said i would it would be required that i get ballot access in all fifty states and that's going to require a grassroots movement from the country where to show me they would want me to come back for them in the grid you taken me back to ninety two and my guess was ross perot and he said the same thing put me on a ballot in every state now run well that that's what's required if you're an independent because it's different in every state they make it that way so that you have to jump through all the hoops so that they don't get a third choice but the way public sentiment is right now larry i mean i would run on this side i would offer the people of america challenge them to elect the first president since george washington the father of our country. that doesn't belong to a political party imagine that and i think the way it used today you could win on that issue alone we're talking with governor jesse ventura on this edition of politicking with larry king yes he's gone off the grid we'll come back and talk about that right after this. stalled

>> >> i would like the commissioner walker and i also forgot to mention the condolences of the passing of your dad. >> thank you. >> as going to tom who said earlier the issue is with planning these days about trying to get permits approved quickly particularly when it comes to the side permit where there are no changes to the outside of the property, once the site permit approved there is not going to be any chances dbi should be able to sign-off on it, on the code at that time and the representative from planning was going to get back to us about allowing dbi to approve those, and which they should be and so we have not heard any more about it there is no doubt though, that commissioner martha planning sort of a stumbling block for a lot of folks when it comes to complying for the notice of violation and you have to go to the hearing for a variance or something like that. and you can't get a response for them and what else i had one recently where we had a response and i will get right on it and i will have it by friday and that was last week and i have for the heard a word sense, an

>> i don't know in receipt strow spectd what hstrow -- retrospece would have felt. his impact is still going to be profound. they're sorry he's gone but they celebrate vividly and enthusiastically the great contribution that he made in their lives. and i think that spirit of nelson mandela is embedded deeply in the heart and soul and consciousness of the south south africans and that's why i hope this country is going to realize the hopes that nelson mandela had with it. >> stay tuned. i continue with my conversation >> an exclusive "america tonight" investigative series >> we traveled here to japan to find out what's really happening at fukushima daiich >> three years after the nucular disaster, the hidden truth about the ongoing cleanup efforts and how the fallout could effect the safety of americans >> are dangerous amounts of radioactive water, leaking into the pacific eververyday? >> join america tonight's michael okwu for an exclusive four part series, as we return to fukushima only on al jazeera america real reporting that brings you the world. giving you a re

should he approach i would say i would see. not don't ever try to let go of being starstruck because cheryl and i when we went to the vanity fair party a copy of it always you know it's like people like it when you come up to them and say you know larry i'm such a huge fan different like that when people say always it is it is always nice but you but the trick is to get out gracefully because he's not going to want you to sit down and hang out no offense because i'm sure you're a great person but you have to do your thing and then act like you want i wanted to act it out we're going to show you me i'm your tirade ok i'm here i'm daniel radcliffe it's so great to see you know i am i even like our the biggest fan and q so much. gosh i would love to talk to you but larry needs me on the set great thank you this lovely thing i thought about writing is you know again i would love to i got it this is the way to deal with it that you think about you and i believe crazy . you that you're fired ok. this is the room a lot of to me by sea

>> no, sir, i would not. >> dr. poneman, would you? >> i'm not sure. >> i want to go back to you, dr. poneman. one of the things you talked about was you wanted to talk about the consequences of stolen identity. one of the things might be helpful is, these people that are forced to go to access their health care through healthcare.gov, what would you advise them to do, you know, to access that as their filling out that information? are there some preventative things they can do that would minimize some of the potential consequences if the system is reached? >> gave the site is secure, that's a good step, right? but as an individual what he would do it on healthcare.gov or whether it's a website like amazon.com, we need to be smart. we need to understand that our data could be at risk. the bad guys are really smart. for example, we should not be using the same password over and over again. our computer should have the most current version of antivirus or anti-malware technology. these commonsensical approaches does make a difference. tha

i would say, "my husband is running for president and i would like you to interview me"" they would say, "president of what?" "president of the united states." "you have got to be kidding." i said, "no, i am not kidding." and they would have no idea what to ask me. before the first day was over, i had five or six questions, the things that i wanted people to know about jimmy. and i came home and said, "i can do it." what i learned is everybody is the same. they want good families, good places, good things for their families. they want a church. usually they wanted a place to worship. they want to make a living and have a good life. i mean, everybody wants the same thing. regions have different other things. but just in general, people want to be happy and have a good home and a good family. >> in your book "first lady from plains," you write that you are more political than your husband. what did you mean by that? >> he says what he thinks no matter what it is and sometimes i would get after him. i think you have to be political in a certain way. you have to be honest and you have to sa

it's not the approach i would take. we've got to solve this problem or else american taxpayer will be on the hook for public tens of billions of dollars, so i truly appreciate the effort. i would have all kinds of different suggestions and ways of doing things, but it really is the 80/20 roads are not going to offer any amendments. i'm going to speak to a number of them that i will support and oppose but i just want to encourage my colleagues to understand the difficult customize, and it's what they're asking for, striking compromise, work with each other and start moving in the right direction. it's not the perfect solution but it does move the ball in the right direction. so i have no amendments to offer other than to support both of your efforts, and thank you for them. >> thank you very been much. thank you for this comment and working for us and to willingness to continue to do so as we move forward. senator pryor, i know you took your shot and offered a senator landrieu's amendment. i would be willing to let you ha

>> i would like to nominate murase for vice president? >> are there any other nominations? seeing none, i now declare the nomination for the vice president closed and i would like to renew the motion for vice president. >> second. >> and commissioner wynns, i would like to... >> roll call please? >> yes. >> fewer? >> no. >> mr. haney? >> yes. >> miss maufas? >> no. >> mendoza-mcdonnell, dr. murase? >> aye. >> norton. >> aye. >> wynns. >> four votes for emily murase for vice president. >> i announce that emily murase has been voted vice president for the board of education for 2014 and i am going to relinquish the chair to the new chair of the board of education. thank you, commissioner norton. >> thank you, commissioner norton. and thank you colleagues. i am honored to represent the school board, and also the school district of prioritizes a high level of education for all students. along with social justice values, and real compassion for our student and their families. and i look forward to working with everyone here, staff and fellow board members, included. and of course

believe that i would. i believe that this is the most important lesson learned from the financial crisis. >> mr. chairman, thank you for having this hearing. i very much appreciate your candor and transparency. i really do. i appreciate the conversation, both in the office and -- i want to thank you for giving us the same answers today that you gave in the office. >> thank you very much senator. i appreciate that. >> senator hagan? >> i want to echo what everyone has stated. the depth of your background, your experience and expertise. we are very honored to have you here. thank you for your testimony. i wanted to talk about the section in dodd frank where it is required that banks would access deposit insurance and what if it, federal reserve discounts. an plain vanilla derivatives such as equity, to push them out, to separately affiliate them. this move would raise costs without significantly reducing risks to the financial system. when i spoke to ben bernanke, he has consistently stated that the federal r

when i would join you peter i think we we're we're seeing the diplomacy in the case of iran and hopefully that will move forward and will be able to hold back those regressive elements in the u.s. congress that don't want to plough mysie and then i think in terms of syria there's going to have to be a lot of efforts and diplomacy whether they'll be successful who knows and in my little way i'm joining with women's groups from around the world we're going to be at the talks in switzerland in january hundreds of us surrounding the building and saying we want a ceasefire we want women at the table because if there's going to be diplomacy there's got to be women at the table and we want a massive amount of humanitarian aid which should go with the diplomacy so yes i wouldn't institutionalize you peter i would be right with you saying twenty fourteen must be the year of diplomacy going away and on that i mean could we see more diplomacy because iowa express my own personal opinion here is that i've often wondered why over the last twelve years we have a secretary of state

think would not appreciate these issues getting aired. i think about 310 million people would have a real appreciation for this. [laughter] now, perhaps there are some disinterested observers, so whatever that percentage is, so let's say 280 million people. [laughter] you know what? be we get 280 million people interested, i think we can create some real change. >> larry, based on your expertise and knowledge of the past, your engagement here in the present, what would you say your top two reforms may be looking towards the future? >> okay. great question. there are 14 reforms laid out in chapter 12. i can't bring people down and say, oh, my god, what's going on, and not allow them, you know, an opportunity like, okay, we've got a chance for something better. of those 14 what would i say are the top two? well, certainly, i would love to end the too big to mail model. -- fail model. that's going to take a while. but in terms of specific reforms, i personally think that we need a separate office of whistleblower protection. and i would like t

have snakes i would coming out of my ears. because i am conservative, because i am supposedly a tea party person. to this day, i do not know what the tea party is. that the believe constitution is as relevant today as it was when it was written. that is a stereotype. conservatives often find themselves in it. the media plays into it. it is what the paper did to me. they can make you, they can marginalize you. they can make you irrelevant. they can make you sound like what you're espousing is radical. nothing we espouse is radical. you all know that in this room to the very core of your being. we are talking about what makes america the greatest country ever. we have these rights coming from our almighty kreider -- our almighty creator. as a stereotype that we face as conservatives in this country. i will say, we're guilty on the other side, we have to be very guilty of this, and this dovetails with my next section on opportunity. we cannot stereotype. we cannot look at a group and say that they would never vote republican, they

i would like to see some briefing on it. i think that would be useful for us and for to come to a decision on how we, to what extent we need to if at all modify the findings as written. >> comments? >> you know, as a lay person and not an attorney, i had to read that government code at least five times. and at this point just for my view it appears to apply. but i will accept the further briefing. i presume that the city will do some briefing on this also. >> well, not necessarily. this is for the advocates to present to us. i think we would expect the commentary, but it's not -- we can ask for advice, but briefing to submit for a hearing is -- >> well, at some point, this particular issue has got to be addressed. if it applicable to the city in some form or another to what extent and it applies to a lot of the decision making not necessarily at our board, but at policy boards such as planning and housing. >> i would definitely welcome the advice, i just don't want actual briefing. the advice we would get is advice for our ow

here's what i would offer. and i think you'd agree with me, although you probably won't want to agree with me in a public hearing setting. but i think if i were to say to you why don't you announce today that you're going to draw this down over the next 24 months from tour trillion to zero -- from four trillion to zero, and i think you would see the impact of your policies on the value of real estate all across the united states, not just in the hardest-hit areas. i think the realities that i own -- the real estate that i own and others own would go down in value. i also think that the stock market would have the same sort of reaction that it has had when chairman bernanke just suggested that there might be a phasedown here. here's what i'm saying, because now i am out of time. i think the economy has gotten used to the sugar you've put out there, and i just worry that we're on a sugar high. and that is a very dangerous thing for the little person out there who is just trying to pay the bills and maybe put a buc

i would sit down and i would meet with the chamber of commerce, i would meet with the afl-cio, i would meet with the united auto workers, i would meet with naacp at the beginning of the year. and i met with two of the largest companies, the ceos and their boards, in the state of delaware and they were at that time fortune ten companies. and i would listen to what their concerns were for the coming year, across the board, business, labor, activist roups, et cetera. i was in the board room of one of the major corporations, and everyone was being very nice except the ceo. and he was really just upset with me. i had forgotten this until you started talking. i was sitting to his right and i finally said -- because he was being close to rude -- i said, mr. chairman, what's your problem? i know that doesn't sound like me. i've always been very liable. anyway, i said, mr. chairman, what's your problem? i said, if i'm not mistaken, you invited me here. i didn't ask to come here. i said, what's the problem? and in a burst of honesty, he looked at me and said, you know, all you're going to do is

in addition i would like to recognize the members who could not be here tonight. which you chuck horn brook, our secretary, magdalena and frank. i think that represents all the members of our committee. can we have the student delegates come up for the photograph. >> i don't think he's here, ms. flemming. brian fox. apologies. speaker: thank you, members. now we have student delegates report. angela wei and logo an. speaker: thank you. things are picking up. we did recently an acc bylaw review to reconfirm the understanding of the bylaws with the real emphasis on the attendance policy which we have been reworking and we might possibly change in the future. another big thing on the cac agenda is the vision 2025. february 7th, is the last vision 2025 meeting and sac will be participating again at the bayview from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.. the sac leadership team participated to include a native in the 2025 campaign. thank you. speaker: the sac's annual youth summit will be held in march. we'll have students from the san francisco unified school district. important that

i would try to do that one. last thing i wanted to mention if you will pull up on the screen, i would ask supervisors to tell me based on this sheet in the meeting this morning, this locations were in your own area. can any of you tell me that? my point is that you can't. if you go to dpw, click on the right hand side and track down the street number, you can at least try to list them by zip code so people can find them. thank you for your time. >> good afternoon supervisors, my name is dell seymour. i think everybody in this room is moaning and growning about cable. we are going home to watch cable. i think we should come out with a better design for these boxes. i represent the tenderloin. we kind of like the boxes because it keeps the piss and poop on one spot. 10 years ago it stopped a bullet that might have got me. we are not too much in opposition here. mr. blake man from at&t he was nice enough to brag about putting three garages in the bayview. did he hire anybody from the bayview. maybe he forgot about t

i was not commenting on how i thoughtt it would come out. in position of being an interested legal observer to see what they do. >> depending on what the court does i can see the agency having involvement in the issue. >> would the fcc be involved for it emcompass aereo? >> as a general matter, my own view, without commenting on the case, is we should reframe applying the title to companies that are not using innovative business models. if there is something unlawful about what the business model is. but for the classification, i tend to be more hest -- hesitant. >> what is your opinion of having phones on the plane? >> i share the view of not wanting someone chatting away while i am in the air. >> what about texting? >> that is a separate issue. and that is what they are going to figure out: whether any data can be sustained up in the sky. >> i would like to talk about broadcast. the media bureau approved the merger between the two companies -- how do you feel about the big transactions being handled at the bureau level? >> i think it is imp

when i would join you peter i think we we're we're seeing the diplomacy in the case of iran and hopefully that will move forward and will be able to hold back those regressive elements in the u.s. congress that don't want to plough mysie and then i think in terms of syria there's going to have to be a lot of efforts and diplomacy whether they'll be successful who knows and in my little way i'm joining with women's groups from around the world we're going to be at the talks in switzerland in january hundreds of us surrounding the building and saying we want a ceasefire we want women at the table because if there's going to be diplomacy there's got to be women at the table and we want a massive amount of humanitarian aid which should go with the diplomacy so yes i would institutionalize you peter i would be right with you saying twenty fourteen must be the year of diplomacy came away and on that i mean could we see more diplomacy because iowa express my own personal opinion here is that i've often wondered why over the last twelve years we have a secretary of state bec

would not appreciate these issues getting aired. ithink about 310 million people would have a real appreciation for this. perhaps there was some disinterested observers. so it's a 280 million people. well, if we get 280 million people interested i think we can create change. >> based on your expertise and knowledge of the past and your engagement in the present, what would you say or talk to reforms would be looking towards the future? >> that is a great question. there are 14 reforms laid out in chapter 12. and i can't bring people down and say oh, what is going on. and we have a chance for something better. okay. of those, what would i say or do talk to? well, certainly i would love to end the too big to fail model. that is going to take it while. but in terms of specific reforms i personally think that we need a separate offers of whistleblower protections. i would like to see that implemented for the financial services industry. as well as have that serve as a model for other parts of the government as well. so that perhaps mr. ed

i would appreciate your service to continue. in my opening statement, i'm going repeat something i said there. it's following up a little bit on what senator vitter was talking about. maybe in a different way. i said that -- i remember so well. at that time i theired the committee. it was 2003. that the nrc asked congress for the bigger tbowngt build new buildings and all the employees. by the way, i have some specific numbers. i have to say you weren't here at the time. you're off the hook partially. but they wanted to do this so they could add expected design certifications for new reactor designs and 17 of the -- that's not the normal we talk about. the construction and operating license. that was 4 and 17. that was actually at that time in discussing this. we were looking -- i went back and checked our note. e with would have to anticipate having the increase workload in three to five years. it's been a long time. and now ten years later, we only have approved one design certification. it's gone from one an expectations the d

the first thing i would do when i would wake up would be throw up you know i that my body like with pain it was really crazy so what i tried to do is i tried to think like well i definitely want to kill myself and i would think i probably should but then i realized you know what i tried to step out of myself and i was like what if a friend was saying these things what i tell him you should kill yourself and i thought no i wouldn't i would help him and so i tried to pretend i was somebody else i was like just try to step outside and observe yourself and you know you're not so bad that you don't deserve help so i went to the doctor and it worked out gradually over time but let's go to other areas i salute you and you thank you well your job to those in french i lived in france for a year and so i do speak french and i just thought it would be really pretentious for an american comedian scumbag to title his chapters in french but i don't know what it means i know and i love that i love that if somebody wants to know they got to do something people don't do a lot these days which is pic
