moving forward, i think as john alluded, we have been making i think excellent progress getting this project ready for your approval. we have had actually excellent discussions with the state lands commission staff just last week in which they seemed very enthusiastic about the project, about the uses, about the public access elements and the lease terms that were discussed with them. we've had multiple meetings with bcdc staff to develop that public access plan that you see and we believe that they are prepared to recommend that that go forward. we are working through the ceqa review that really is based on historic resource he evaluation report and we are trying to finalize the lease terms with your very hard working staff. once we get the lease approved, which we would hope, including the board of supervisors will be early in 2015, we will start to work on pulling our permits. once we pull our construction permits, the construction period for those initial improvements is about six months. so, i thank you very much for listening and we are very happy to tell you anything in additi

condemnation of building in jerusalem the breakdown of the peace process, and john kerry's statement that you just alluded to, you see that there's no channel of communications between two supposedly and ostensibly major and close and tight allies. mr. netanyahu was speaking through israel television and israeli media, and mr. kerry is speaking through official statements rather than have a discreet, reliable, credible and intimate dialogue between two administrations. that channel is conspicuously missing, which is why i'm afraid that while no one means to be deaf to american pleas or no one means to escalate, this could be the unintended consequence of all this. >> ambassador, as always, thanks for being with us. >> a really nuanced perspective he gave there. >> harsh words for drug companies from the head of the world health organization, blaming them in part for the lack of an ebola cure. >> she has tough words for the world health organization, as well. >> at a conference in africa, the doctor repeated that the ebola outbreak is the most severe public health emergency of modern times. soon afterwards

john podesta. >> quite leisurely. the question is, and you alluded to this earlier.ven that you have a unique perspective having been involved from day one through copenhagen and now to a conference that we will be the successor to copenhagen and the last big contribution here, if you could just offer your thoughts about what the lessons of copenhagen are that you are trying to apply into this negotiation. you talk a little bit about how the us china relations has been deepened. were there other things that you think are important to maintain and others where you think we need something a little bit different? >> first of all, the process is quite different. as you said, we came at the end of january. ten months. very quickly moving train and to try to deal with it. here we negotiated the underlying mandate in durban and have been working it through from its early phases, conceptual phases in the first year or two even to the.now where we are much more in the kind of proto- negotiation toward what we will turn into a text. you know, i think that their , in fact, will

i used to do pharmaceutical research, so i have seen a lot of the research that was alluded to , i believe by dr. john howard, with regard to handling. there is one group not at the table, the usda. if we look at our containment facilities for large animal research, you do see a lot of the type of technology with personal protective equipment working around large animals in containment, and that is a piece of the puzzle and part of the team that needs to be proud to -- needs to be brought to the table as well. the africa issue, it is not just africa but a lot of the developing countries. if we have sent a tremendous amount of resources, billions of dollars. and it is global health security from the standpoint of containing whether from a buyer of terrorism standpoint, but what we have failed with our global health security agenda is international health and when we look at just issues we are dealing with comment looking at, do we have the capacity to, you know, identify, contain, response to a potential outbreak, whether or not it is a terrorist attack on natural-born outbreak, and we really need to s

john podesta in the obama administration. >> the fact you have a full 12 months. i guess the question is, and you actually alluded earlier, i think given you have a unique perspective having been involved anyone here through copenhagen and now through the successor to copenhagen and will really be the lasting contribution here, you know, if you could just offer your thoughts about, first of all what copenhagen them by the lessons of copenhagen are your try to apply here. you talked a little bit about how the u.s.-china relationship has been. are there other things, i mean, that you think are important to maintain that you want to build on, and otherwise we think you will do things a little different? >> well, first of all, the process is quite different. as you said, we came in the end of january, 10 months, on to it very quickly moving train to try to deal with it, where as here we sort of see the underlying mandates and have been working through from early phases, central thesis in the early year or two to the point now where we are much more in the kind of proto- negotiations, you know, towards what we will tu

alluded to this. the dysfunctionality, if that's a word, of washington, d.c. and the hostility. that's a two-way street. i'm not offended by what johnm a former senate staffer. i'm supposed to say that and it's always true. but it's simple. they have to pass bills and send them to the president. if they don't pass bills, they will be treated just like we were three or four days ago in 2014. that's a reality. >> that's right. and jumping on jimmy's point, the mere fact is that they need to find that bipartisan support in congress. for example, the job bills passed in the house, that was bipartisan support. that's going to move on to the senate. we'll see what happens with keystone pipeline and tax reform. if we get that bipartisan support, which i believe senator mitch mcconnell will make sure that he gets some of those democrats to come along and keep the republicans in line, i think we could see good progress. the key here will be what the president does with immigration reform if he moves forward on the executive action. i think that could really hurt the relationship between congress -- and it's a very fragile relationship betwee

talking about john boehner and how bad the house republicans were, they actually locked it down for a long time. >> you know, one of the items that we haven't talked about, that we have alludedg is the rumbling out there beneath the surface of this great get up, put your head down, go to work every day country of ours. and it is that in the winter of 2008 and 2009, we suffered a calamitous loss of confidence in the american economy. and there are hundreds of thousands of people out there who lost their pensions. lost their pensions. because they were -- trust funds, pension funds, gone. the disruption that caused in people's lives i think still plays itself out. i think people are fearful of what's going to happen with the economy. we talked about this earlier. wall street almost guaranteed will go up today based upon the republican win. their checks won't go up. >> there's a trickle down effect to all that as well. i'm keeping very close track of the millennials. these are the people would are -- the young men and women would come from those families would lost a pension, had their house taken away, father lost a job, mother maybe working two jobs. the millennials are reall
