john both john's for helping us with sfgovtv. >> madam clerk, any announcements? completed speaker cards and documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the march third 2015 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated thank you very much could you please call item one. >> an ordinance for the environmental code. >> thank you. i'm the author of item one as a reminder last year, i introduced to champion pieces of legislation this strengths the cities construction and development impact on residents air quality in the city the first thing was unanimously passed when i the board required combrasz combalsz ventilation inside the hot spot zone this requires an emissions minimumtion plan and monitoring program for all public projects in the hot spot condone requiring the equipment to minimize the emotion some studies have shown an association with particularly matter and significant health problems that combludz u includes the chronic brooklyn kits and reduced function and heartache and premature dedicate in people with premature health conditions the south eastern district suffers if air pollution that's why we have the asthma and the city of san francisco could a reduce the emissions by utilizing the off-road disease sale an road or whatever position using alternative source of power it's important to note that clean construction mitigation has been a requirement at ceqa and states projecting in the hot zone will be using cleaner requirements by the standard of our city projects we're streamlining the process for public projects previously we would do a separate air quality analysis to tell us what we already know and impose the mitigation measures adding time and measures for the mitigating process now i'm going to bring up staff from the planning department i think we have w5id and department of public health karen to briefly go over thank you go over with us a little bit about the legislation so it's at staff short presentation. >> thank you. >> i'm karen on behalf of the health department to offer our support and reiterate the things that supervisor just told you all i know i've shown this committee if f this graphic before and the purpose of this graphic from e ta to really enforce the information caused by particularly matter and dell sale it caused cardiovascular disease a good illumination i want to point out that part of failure heart conditions and stroke are leading can you of death in the tape 5 causes of death for san franciscans if we look at 24 this is the age adjustment hospitalization rate for heart failure it looks at like the exposure zone the north and south of market and the bayview hunters point and now you'll see the same type of profile of where we're concerned about so it is important furriers as an environmental standpoint and do want the construction adding the diesels emotions by the air quality the management of that ordinance will prevent this from happening the air district as had several be reports in 2010 was an air plan the two key facts i've learned from the plans par complainant matters is the smaller dynamic those fine par tickets pose the greatest burden on the bay area and they account for more than 90 percent of immortality in the area if we look at the paralyze from the diesel fuel we have the carr gunmen and its responsible for over 80 percent of cancer risks if toxic air contaminates in the area i appreciate our support. >> wade would you like to comment. >> i have a short presentation so good afternoon mr. sweeney and i'm wade from the san francisco planning department as supervisor cohen mention this is about protecting the public health awhile providing certainty to the projection for public agency projects this ordinance lions with the city projects to ceqa both this ordinance along with article 38 have a bigger strategy which the planning department and dpw are working on to produce less carcinogens we have support if the planning commission and the environmental commission so just a little bit of background quickly on the existing ordinance acknowledging it the harmful health effects we took action and adapted the ordinance the ordinance requires cleaner construction equipment already and is enforced by different contracting public works agencies the heart of the ordinance relate relates to either a engine or verified emission strategy the acronym the epa and california resources started to reblth the amount of regulations from the 190's this chart illustrates there are four tier levels the equipment becomes cleaner and the standards stricker i want to highlight tier two the existing ordinance this is applied to new engines on not applying to existing equipment but existing equipment lasts 15 to 25 years it has been adapted a separate regulation. >> do you have a copy of your presentation. >> i do. >> can i have it please. yes yes. >> sorry i know some of the numbers on this chart maybe a little bit hard to read the numbers are not as important as illustrating the point of the different standards that apply to new engines over the equipment it has gone cleaner i was mentioning for this only applies to new engines and existing equipment there's a regulation that went into effect just last year i'm going i'm not sure e i'm sorry 2013 companies will closely clean up their equipment's one of the ways through the verified emission control strategy it is a filter you can put on the existing engine to reduce the matter especially further so if you look at the orange and you have a tier two engines a new engine and in 2004 let's say and you put a filter on it that reduce the matter emissions tiring percent beyond the tier 2 engine and how this relates to ceqa it subsequent to page of the ordinances in 2007 in the bay area management district released new guidance are documented the harmful health effects from the air pollution month jurisdictions in san francisco claremont the air quality with ceqa this required the construction projects in san francisco the hire consultant to have a costly modeling it requires the pub funded projects beyond the construction ordinance this requirement was often imposed on projects subsequent to ceqa when you have a mitigates project under ceqa the projects will not be otherwise exempt this arrow if you have an project that is exempt and have a mitigation you have to do a 3450ig9sd eir the planning and dpw created a map i'm going to talk about it we talked about that for article 38 essentially for construction if you're project is locked in the zones your subject to a ceqa mitigation measure as an example the planning department currently is reviewing for ceqa public projects foreclosure a health clinic in the bay area they'll be exempt from ceqa with you it's in the exposure zone tlofrs it is subject to cost and time and in order to understand the ceqa the planning department has identified the mitigation measures that was done in outreach this chart here is actually brand new data i got from the california air resources board we originally did research in 2012 but this year chart shows essentially new engines become available as the economy picked up so when the recession hit not a lot of new engines we get the question why are we not requiring the tier 4 engines the reason we don't think it's feasible because the tier 4 engine are not wildly available shown in light pie chart that document 20 to 15 percent of the engines in the state for the tier four if you require tier 2 it's 60 percent and by requiring that verified diesels emotion our that equivalent to a tier 4 engine the real changes i've described as for ceqa outside the air pleasant our subject to the existing requirements and inside the x portion you're a tier two engine and administrative review control strategy there's a monitoring plan associated that this i'll briefly cover so first and foremost this is a health protective ordinance between the emissions reductions compared to a engine that has not emission standard or flexibility through ceqa the mitigation measures is not required but required for city regulation for example the earlier health clinic can precede with the mitigation and it allows for a greater ability to monitor for compliance the state has a regulation that requires all construction equipment to have a 6 character red sticker on both sides of the equipment and a members of the public or someone if the city agency can written down the number and go online and see whatever it's tier one or four so the planning department courageous you to adopt the update i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you very much for if presentation supervisor kim. >> sorry was having mike issues thank you supervisor cohen for introducing that really important legislation i'd like to be added as a cory had a question not sure if directed to public health or planning this is a great step up to the plate we have should legislation we've seen the uptick of construction in large swaths of districts that was put up the power point presentation i have a number of questions on the important piece i think that what we're putting for legislation is really good, i want to know what we're going to do to have the resources and staffing commissioner that we can enforce this on, on contractors things like not leaving diesel trucks in the i would like and things to put into place within the contract itself to insure those violations are nothing go to the happen in the first time and two there are complaints you know what are the resources the city has to insure that the contractors are compliant. the court: again, i support everything this is in here we have a number of ordinances on the boxes our residents have a right to call our office and complain about and we have the resources to properly takeover of that. >> no questions or statements. >> that's a question. >> is the question do we have the resources actually. >> i asked two questions one are we thinking of putting things in place n the public project that insures in advance that there are specific measures to make sure that the contractors comply with the prevention there isn't a violation a and b if there is what resources do we have to enforce legislation. >> all right. >> supervisor kim through the chair on the enforcement side of things in developing this ordinance and the research we did a lot of outreach to all the city agencies that are going to be subject to accident ordinance and dunn done education that question has come up with every individual agency we develop in doing this outreach is sort of a template for a plan the ordinance tukdz about the construction emissions plan and we developed basically an "x" sell spreadsheet and the contractors can fill out and maintain through the construction the hope the owners passes we continue our educational efforts with each of the individuals agency because some individual agencies have been subject to this through ceqa and they've had some similar questions of how are they going to monitor right now the planning department is monitoring it through ceqa and we're trying to educate them on this so in terms of resources i don't really each year additional resources from the city agrees more of a educational understanding of the requirement in terms of compliance yeah. - in terms of inclines it is subject to each individual agency and actually drawing a blank on what the ordinance specifically says in terms of in if a incarcerating is in compliance with the plan i believe it says they could subject to no longer having the contracts you know. >> okay. so sorry i was trying to pull up the ordinance so the enforcement body is each agency. >> correct. >> it's not the department of public health so we'll have to find out which agency contracted it whether dpw and they'll be responsible for sending someone out to enforce the legislation but the punitive measures at the ended e he said the contract. >> i'll have to relook at the english i think this is essentially what it does you does it feel like the right punitive measure i don't know what agency is going to stop a project when the street is torn up we're going to take this contract and leave the neighborhood you know in sham he lives in the meantime and there are things built to into the ordinance that allows for waivers if a particular piece of equipment is not available the contractor california for a waiver from that particular requirement i would have to relook at what the ordinance legislation says and excuse me. the legislation digest has a quarterly reporting so the public has a public record for consultants. >> the st. john gibner would like to comment. >> john gibner, deputy city attorney like to follow up on the possibility it didn't go to our question supervisor jane kim about how the departments are admonishment but in terms of what the remedies are the contract for the project will exterior the contractor comply with the construction so non-compliance will mean suspension or the contract or - or for potentially departure time a process that follows a hearing so a ranger of options and also non-payment we can suspend payment to the contractor so there are ways to terminate the contract permanently. >> do the agency feel like they've got the capacity i like the ordinance i know our office on a daily process gets e-mails from the public regarding violations to the planning code and they're real violations and follow-up with the departments they don't have the resources to actually enforce against the violator so it becomes a frustration within the law enforce the law and we get kind of or you know non-

john's response invigorating. despite expressing some disappointment as john's positions in a long letter to their mutual friend, otis warren she excitedly describes the discussions quoting passages from both letters. john's response had called abigail saucy. the term often used of disobedient children was dangerous, even in jest. but abigail tells warren that john was saucy. mixing sauciness with the formal list of grievances and showing that john had not misread his wife's tone. both abigail and john recognized the need to keep up each other's spirits, particularly in these months. the british, who had just left nearby boston in march had been a continuing certain of safety for the family and their property. abigail begins her march 31st letter i wish you would ever write me a letter half as long as i write you. suggesting that her message sought to have john remember not just the ladies, but herself. responding to her call for further involvement, john offered a substantial character, a character sketch of his barber in a mid-april letter. calling the description a trifling subject, intended for your amusement. abigail in turn explained in early may that she had delayed writing because, dismayed of a l

growing reach both concerns this morning on capitol hill where secretary of state john kerry and the director of national intelligence james clapper both testified in separate hearings. john is live in our bureau with the latest for us now john? >> yeah, jenna. secretary of state kerry by the way in that testimony talked about gains that have been made against isis in syria and iraq including kurdish peshmerga forces taking back and recapturing about 30 villages in syria. that said let's talk about the hostages. we're getting reports that an estimated 90 people 90 of the syrian christians as mentioned, were taken by isis. many of them women and children. now all of this happened basically under the cover of darkness before dawn on monday when the isis militants overran several villages along the kabul river in northeastern syria. this is a river if you look at a map that hooks up with the u uutrayties and the villages clustered along the river and an area that has been under isis control though being pushed out of a lot of areas at this point but there's been heavy fighting between various forces and also the isis militants there. that continues. now, some good news if yo

(?) >> when you think of volatility, we've had these micro bursts of volatility. but over the entire year, we're really below trend from the volatility standpoint. we've had the periods where things look rough and then volatility will spike and then quickly normalizes. >> you have the big survey. of your advisors. what do they say about volatility? >> they say volatility is going up. we saw a big lift from the fourth quarter to the fifth quarter of where volatility will end up. they're nervous. what's driving it. we saw oil stocks in the fourth quarter. egeopolitical events. >> you advised on this. nonconservative. i know it will be volatility. >> a few things folks are doing. we see this in the flow data as well. mutual fund flows. we see folks moving to flexible mandates. hiring professionals and moving money to folks who have an opportunity of investing across the spectrum. >> hiring financial advisors. >> you're definitely seeing a lift in terms of the use of floating rate loans. a lift in the use of multi sector bond strategies. trying to navigate and take advantage of what's going on. >> all right, dan, i know you like small caps. mid-caps. i know you have some picks. i do want to get to those. you are saying this is a good way for us to deal with the volatility we'll see over the next two months. >> my great friend jason talks about tina. there is no alternative. you know, with this really low interest rate environment that will likely persist for a good while longer, i mean, why wouldn't you want to buy a growing dividend stream as opposed to buying a bond which maybe in the next two or three years, you won't lose money. but a ten-year bond, you will lose money. >> interesting you bring this up. mr. buffett addressed this yesterday. warren: the last asset i would want to buy is a 30-year government bond. but that's a by-product of other policies which make sense. >> how about a ten-year? >> i don't want a ten-day bond. >> not even buy a ten-day bond. mr. buffett -- >> i could say it any better. why would you buy something like that? you have no opportunity for that to cressets increase is yield. that's a saner way. >> you're a fixed income guy. what did you make of what he said?

[applause] so i bring greetings from the fan club at the department of labor for ai-jen poo and sarita gupta. am absolutely going to buy a copy of the book tonight although i have a request. i just finished listening on tape to elizabeth warren's a fighting chance and it felt like i was having a bedtime story every night be encoded on about what i could do more for economic security, and listening to trend ai-jen read, wouldn't we all love ever recorded version of "the age of dignity"? we could listen to ai-jen poo. [applause] i just want to share one quick story of the first meeting that try to join you for of the department of labor where she knit together this incredible combination of a couple of women workers themselves coming in person to tell their stories. that's not actually usually happens in the old days of the department of labor. and incredible sophisticated analysis of the policy that impacted them, and a persistent, loving confidence that we at dol could and should do something about it. that's ai-jen poo right? we could never have gotten to the homecare rule, and that's decades along minimum wage and overtime protections for 2 million women workers were still waiting for those protections. we could not have done that without ai-jen, without sarita with also many of you in december that to me is what this book is about and i cannot wait to see what is next. i am so proud of all we've done together and i cannot wait to see what you call us next to do. thank you ai-jen. [applause] >> sarah anderson. >> thanks, john. i know i'm going to come across as just a plant in the audience because i'm really motivated to come. it just urge everyone in this room to do what they can to promote this book. john mentioned earlier that if 3000 copies could be sold in short order that ai-jen could get off a new kind best sellers list. she was telling us earlier that something like at the last two people to get on the best socialist maybe what, two or three were people of color? at the more importantly of which is challenge able to look at "the new york times" bestsellers list and think about what books are on their that are of such importance to so many people in this country? we need to be having this a national conversation. i wish my own family had started it earlier than we did. i had a hard time with this storystore tonight but i'm sure a lot of you did come to. put reviews online, send it out for your social media channels. we should all be doing a lot to really generate this national conversation through t

john podesta. >> that's the great thing about john podesta, best of both worlds. he can balance the clinton and obama universes. >> that's the easier part. >> but at the same time, it's like i'm agreeing with sam here in terms of, how's he going to do it and what makes hillary 4.0, different from hillary 3.0 in 2008? you're starting to see the same internal factions within her camp and that was a big liability in 2008 and it's going to be a big liability -- >> i think the hard part and what we're watching now. the first guy out of the curtain is jeb bush. when you first walk out, that's when you realize you're hitting the new york media world, the toughest media this side of britain and you have to say who you are. he's having a hard time saying i don't want to relitigate this, a modern word. you are going to relitigate because your brother's the reason we're talking about the iraq war. you, brother, and you were with him. so hillary clinton, secretary clinton is going to have to come out in the first couple days, she's going to have to walk out and have a plan about how to talk. that to me, i root for her, because i think that's the hardest thing in america to re-enter the conversation. >> i agree with you. >> it's not about the structure so much -- >> but it's always about the pace of the conversation. and it's much faster and more demanding than it was four, five, six years ago. look what chris christie did in london, he had to stop talking because his answer was so bad. >> what was that about? >> it was a very bland nato question. he doesn't talk. and go back to hillary clinton's book tour. the first couple days, a lot of misstatements and oddly sounding things about her own wealth. it's telling that a lot of her close aides, they're fine with her taking her time, in part to cut down the amount of exposure that she has. i don't think it's the best thing to do because you obviously have to face it at some point. >> got to put your toe in the water and then jump in. and then you're in the water and there are alligators in there. >> whenever you get in the water, there's going to be alligators, so sometimes you might as well jump. >> would you recommend to jump in and make some mistakes? >> i would recommend not making mistakes. >> make them early. [ laughter ] >> learning from the mistakes that you've made. what are the quotes you remember from her? i didn't want to stay home and bake cookies. we were dead broke. when she gets pushed, she -- >> what difference did it make. >> the clinton campaign needs to talk to her and say, you need to practice that, make sure that when you get riled up. she does two things, one is she laughs and tries to laugh it off. the other thing, she says something that will cause her trouble in the end. she's got to get more disciplined. but she's a disciplined person, so i'm assuming -- >> she needs calibrated mistakes and flaws to look authentic, because that's the main problem with clinton that was a big flaw and a liability in 2008. >> terry gross at npr and not a right-wing crazy person. she's wonderful. >> yes. >> she asked hillary clinton about changing her mind. like most of us did over same-sex marriage, which we now call marriage equality. it is a social thing. you don't just make up your mind as if you're in a cave somewhere. you make it as part of a community. what's wrong with saying that it's very hard to answer a question that wasn't hard to answer. i didn't think it was possible, now i realize it is. i know somebody would have jumped on that, but it would have been honest. >> right. >> it isn't all in a vacuum. politicians don't operate in a vacuum. >> sometimes they're too polished. >> lincoln never explained where he was on slavery. he said no more expansion in the territories. >> roosevelt never said we're going to war with the nazis. he wanted to. but when you tell them, you tell them the truth. anyway, the roundtable is staying with us. up next, the highlights in last night's major "saturday night live" 40th anniversary special, which is all about generations. this is "hardball," the place for politics. have a very special guest. come on out, flo!

"saturday night live" had so many celebrities on last night it took nearly two minutes to read all of the names of the guests last night. it included a potential new presidential ticket for 2016. >> next question, yes, tina? >> no, it's sarah. >> oh, sorry. >> oh my god. of course, governor palin, welcome. >> i'm just curious, jerry, how much do you think lauren michael would pay me if i was to run in 2016. >> run for president, sarah, i don't think there is a number to win. >> what if i picked donald trump as me running mate? >> you're teasing us, that is not night. >> former colleagues got together. >> times have changed since i first sat behind this disk. i used to be the only pretty blond woman reading the fake news, now there is a whole network devoted to that. >> ruth, i want to talk to you because you had an intergenerational experience last night. >> i did, i watched with my 17-year-old daughter. what an amazing thing. "saturday night live" was part of my adolescence, college life, and it now part of my two daughter's adolescence and college life. they tell me on sunday morning, mom, you have to watch this, you have to watch. what other show is there in america that has bridged those generations that way. >> "hardball." >> it will, but you know -- >> i'm only 21 years. >> i was looking at the -- how do you square it? what do you think about diversity, pretty good or not pretty good? >> for some reason, we were talking about this off set, it just feels like okay, one, "snl" lost a lot of edge from the '70s and '80s, and diversity. >> who are the big african-american stars? >> eddie murphy, chris rock, keenan thompson. but really no one -- everybody was trying to measure up to eddie murphy and no one could really do it. he really kind of just went on the edge. he pushed the envelope. i could not see anyone doing that in later years. it is hard to watch saturday night live sometimes. >> and the diversity, the lack of diversity is where that loss of edge was. >> the cold open is always my favorite. it shows -- they take something and you realize in a matter of seconds my god, that is something about this week and they're tearing it apart. something we all talked about and they just lampoon it. and i remember watching a show where darrell hannah was playing cheney, and he is in camera before it parts and he is cheney. they're putting down something that is real, and they're making so much fun of it. >> maybe it is like a dc centric viewpoint, but i always love the politic comedy. it always has an impact. the skits with sarah palin and katie couric -- >> yeah, it has become imprinted in our mind. >> go back to our view of gerald ford, and the lampoons. >> yeah, john, they set the standard, but it was kind of the genesis of the comedy central network. >> and live. >> we're live now, but i'll tell you, live is something else. and how do they do it like in the old days. everything had to be timed. if someone missed a line, what would they have done, and every single time, it has been live. live from new york. it is really dramatic. it is like sid caesar or something like that. thank you, guys, i think we talked about the important stuff. when we return, let me finish with the horror we face on new york's tv or laptop. isis is never further away than that unfortunately. hey matt, what's up? i'm just looking over the company bills. is that what we pay for internet? yup. dsl is about 90 bucks a month. that's funny, for that price with comcast business, i think you get like 50 megabits. wow, that's fast. personally, i prefer a slow internet. there is something about the sweet meditative glow of a loading website. don't listen to the naysayer. switch to

john lucich bruce parkman, retired green beret sergeant major and ceo of cybersecurity firm main nerve. good to have you both here. let's start, john, this president signs an executive order that does nothing and is asking for help from companies who don't send their ceo. this is a peculiar piece of staging. >> it's interesting what he's doing here because we have been sharing data with each other for many years. the fbi in 1996 started infoguard which is a partnership between fbi, federal government, and the private sector to share this type of information. so this is nothing new. what i'm concerned about is what type of other data that he's not getting to that he wants to get to and in return, dangling that little carrot according to reports that says in return he's going to give these companies immunity. >> immunity. immunity from what here? and why? >> well, it doesn't make any sense, because if they offer companies immunity then they offer them a shield, and what this gets down to is where is -- where does the balance fall on the company, where does the company, when is the company at fault. so to offer companies indemnification can actually require companies to oversubscribe to the law in search of becoming indemnified because if a company is negligent, it should be at fault. it should be found guilty and it should be -- should go to court and be liable for the impact it has on american small and midsize businesses and the american taxpayer. >> if i've got this right, basically obama is saying, if you will pour that personal data into our servers at the federal government level, we will indemnify you for your reckless reckless failures to provide security for your customers and your clients like target has done sony has done, other companies, home depot without either s.e.c. response without any kind of federal response saying you have a fiduciary duty, a responsibility to protect the personal information of your customers, whether it is a chinese hacker or whether you know whatever it may be. >> it doesn't matter. i totally agree with you. cybersecurity is keeping networks and data safe. it has nothing to do with immunity. where is this immunity coming from? it's almost like wall street when he banged wall street and give them everything including billions of dollars for their own bailouts and they gave themselves bonuses. it's the same type of scenario where he's beating people up then giving them something in return. it's almost like he's again taking care of donors who actually have an issue here and i'm not saying he is. that's my opinion. >> bruce -- >> not to mention the fact -- go ahead. not to mention the fact they want this data to feed into this new agency which falls under the dni, the director of national intelligence. right now with the mistrust between corporations and this administration, that has definitely got an anti-business bent to it there is absolutely no way you are going to get corporations to feed their data directly into the intelligence community which is why you saw a lot of the ceos not show up today, because the snowden reports, the misuse of the data and the fact that if they show up in support of this legislation, their overseas operations will affected as well. >> the typical statement like i'm from the government i'm here to help you, they're not buying it this time. >> except in the case of google. i want you both to respond to this. in the case of google, the chief technology officer was there but larry page, eric smith, the rest of the folks not there that looked like a little cover if you can have cover by not being somewhere, this looked like an example. >> it could be. they are not buying into this. they have a big problem with what the nsa has done. i don't have a problem with people looking at data if they are going after terrorism but when we see what happened up in boston, how did they not catch that. who is it they were looking at that they were taking away from that. >> you get the last word, bruce. >> it is cover. these big companies right now, they want to provide themselves a shield from the administration that says hey, look, they're going to propose legislation to my national u.s. operations and my international operations, we're not part of it we don't support it because in the end those companies are going to be harmed pretty significantly if any of this legislation that passes congress is short-sighted and requires companies to start reporting directly into the national intel streams. >> if we have correctly analyzed today's road show on the part of the president, the fact is nothing was done and cybersecurity for corporate america and business remains status quo. >> but it sounded good. >> it looked good, too. >> yes, sir. go ahead, sir. >> no go ahead bruce. >> the two things i noticed about that speech it was a great political speech. it should have been on the t the small and business participation at this summit. those are the companies 30 million of them, that need representation at the table. >> the backbone of this nation. >> john bruce, thank you both for being here. we appreciate it. >>> up next will a check from the judicial branch of the government really upset the balance of president obama's powers?

it is widely believed that security services on the both sides of the pond have known "jihadi john"'s identity for some time. "jihadi johne nickname given to the man we've seen in isis videos and a couple of other british act ended men in syria looking after hostages. they were nicknamed after the beatles because they had those british accents. jihadi's john is the face and voice we've seen in all the beheading videos of american hostage james foley and others and british hostage. according to "the washington post" who interviewed friends and people who knew mohammed emwazi, he is 27 years old. born in kuwait to a well-to-do family and moved to london as a boy. he lived in this neighborhood not far from the more well-known nodding hill neighborhood but more upscale. he studded at westminster university and got a degree in computer science. i is described as disconcerting doing with murders he is mild-mannered and smart. bill: why this terrorist group, amy. >> reporter: according to human rights group who believe mohammed emwads sy is "jihadi john" all they say they can't be 100% sure because he has been masked in the vid

[laughter] he was a great golfer. dad was a good golfer. i'm not a good golfer. at any rate, prescott bush, very successful wall street guy. ends up being the town moderator in greenwich connecticut. so a lot of his buddies were probably drinking martinis and drinking gin at the country club, he's working to help others. i'm confident that set a profound example for dad, and his service set a profound example for his children, of which i was one. >> it was funny i remember when your dad was first running for president in 1

both sides were supposed to withdraw heavy weapons from the front lines today. but that hasn't happened. and john terry is here with more on this. john. >> we are talking about the northeastern part of the country, there was fierce fighting today. and even reports of ukrainian trooping cam toured. neither side, it appears, is willing to give the town up. >> a gas pipeline explosion caused by a mortar is the latest example of the fractured two-day-old ceasefire in ukraine. heading into the town of debaltseve. and within the past few hours valid vad said that he's hopeful that the rebels will allow all ukrainian troops safe passage out of the town. >> >> interpreter: i hope that the representative will not detain and hold these people and let those troops freely leave the settlements and go back to their families. >> after engaging in intense battle with the ukrainian troops pro russian separatists say they're now in control of the town. but the ukrainian military leaders dispute that. >> . >> there are clashes near the railway station and they are holding their positions and they have the complete right to hold the positions that they

john mccain, senator john mccain has been in touch with the mueller family -- >> he has been -- >> constituents with joe donnelly talked with the family through the entire episode. both senators working with the white house and families discussed these special operations forces possibilities. they were involved and i know senator mccain as he told me this personally was in favor of these rescue missions. this particular one where they didn't find them sometimes the intelligence doesn't work out and in other cases people are tipped off and odd set of circumstances. it's very high risk. the president has been dedicated. we saw this and one of the interesting things when kayla mueller's name was first put out two weeks ago accidentally by dennis mcdonough on a sunday morning talk show and there was a great deal of worry that would cause damage for her and all of the networks walked that back to keep it away. it was indicative that the president of the united states and staff had her mind at the tip of their thoughts and were able to reveal that. >> well actually reminds me of how -- how much the reagan white house focused on the hostages in beirut. >> i think the bigger thing -- >> a continual problem for the commander in chief. there's been some confusion, clearly this letter now shows us what was in the mueller family's mind because she says i'm being treated well and i'm actually getting food. i've gained weight. she suggests that she doesn't want any extraordinary efforts to find her. so that feeds into the whole question of whether they didn't want the rescue mission -- they denied that yesterday. i don't know if there's anything we know about that. >> i think that there are various people who have been directly in touch with the mueller family through the different stages. i know some of them and can't -- it would be remiss for me to reveal what they said. that said i think the mueller family, from what i know has been incredibly resilient through this process and had confidence at the end of the day that the various pieces of this effort to get her out would succeed and they were incredibly resilient. this is a broader example for the whole country. this kind of practice that we've seen, this horrific practice is not going away. we will have other americans kidnapped and held for ransom and killed. we need to talk about how we begin dealing with this not in perhaps a systemic way is probably the wrong word but this is the tip of the iceberg of what may be coming given our experiences with isis. i think the mueller family gave an incredible strength and confidence through this we should learn lessons from. >> coming up next more power as the president prepares to ask congress to authorize the war already against isis. but for how long? >> don't speak, obama's message -- >> i don't want to be coy, the prime minister and i have a real difference around iran sanctions. o smell like i sweat money. i want to smell the way champagne tastes. i love champagne. infuse your laundry with... ...up to 12 weeks of luxurious long-lasting scents... ...unstopables in wash scent booster. i want my foyer to smell more like a foyer. i want his bedroom to smell like he's away at boarding school. surround yourself with up to 6 hours of luxurious, long-lasting scents... ...introducing new unstopables air refresher. hey, girl. is it crazy that your soccer trophy is talking to you right now? it kinda is. it's as crazy as you not rolling over your old 401k. cue the horns... just harness the confidence it took you to win me and call td ameritrade's rollover consultants. they'll help with the hassle by guiding you through the whole process step by step. and they'll even call your old provider. it's easy. even she could do it. whatever, janet. for all the confidence you need td ameritrade. you got this. americans drink 48 billion bottles of water every year. that's enough plastic bottles to stretch around the earth 230 times. each brita filter can replace 300 of those. clean. clear. brita water. nothing is better. >>> and we continue on the breaking news talking about isis. of course the death of kayla mueller. efforts for congressional military authorization against isis are taking on a urgency with her death. the white house tells nbc news that negotiations are continuing between the white house and members of congress on a proposed authorization to use force. months after air strikes against isis first began. i'm joined by ambassador nicholas burns, former a.m. bass do to nato and greece and joe scarborough, host of "morning joe." how important is it that this updated authorization be passed and there be some agreement? we know democrats and republicans are on opposite sides of the strength and what it should entail as far as boots on the ground. >> congress needs to speak out and need to reauthorize this. the fact that of course in the fall they abandoned ship got out of town started campaigning before talking about what many consider to be the most dangerous threat to the united states since september 11th certainly was a problem. there is you're right, there's a great distance between what many on the right and many on the left want to do. lindsey graham is talking about the possibility of 10,000 boots on the ground. john mccain obviously wants to take a very aggressive stance. if we thought what happened in march of 2003 was a difficult undertaking, that seems fairly simple compared to what american troops would be headed into if in fact they did go back to iraq. >> and with so many urgent foreign policy considerations right now, nick burns, is this the right time to have a dust-up with our closest middle ally israel, about the president saying yesterday it's not protocol to have a foreign leader coming in asking to is a dress congress being invited to address congress two weeks before an election without any notification to the state department or white house. in fact, the state department indicating that the secretary of state was misled and netanyahu has said he's not backing down. >> i'm not sure it's the president who chose this argument. it was netanyahu who caused it. i would look at this from two perspectives, first from an american perspective. why would we want to interfere with the israeli

john boehner. let's talk about this with cnn chief congressional correspondent dana bash and gloria borger. welcome to both of you. >> thanks carol. >> thanks for being here. dana really john boehner suggesting funding dhs for only three weeks and it probably won't pass anyway in the house? >> he's suggesting it and not just suggesting it they'll do that later this afternoon. we think it probably will pass but not with the help of democrats. let's start with what's going to happen this hour in the senate. in the senate we're finally going to have a vote on a bill to fully fund the department of homeland security through the end of the fiscal year just as the white house wanted and democrats have been asking for. this is because republicans gave in. they realize they don't have votes to do anything else here's the but. the house isn't going to take it up. they won't vote on it because they do not agree with voting on anything that doesn't also block the president's immigration plan. the one that allows millions of undocumented workers to stay here in this country illegally. what they're going to do is kick the can down the road. in the short-term it's good news. the department of homeland security probably will not be shutdown. in the long-term, talking three weeks from now, we'll be sitting here having the same conversation. so glory, mitch mcconnell bit the bullet and did what was best for the country, right? he showed strong leadership. why can't house speaker john boehner do the same? >> i think john boehner is actually asking himself the same question carol. he's got lots of republicans over there who say hell no. they don't want anything to do with a vote that would look like they were giving assent in any way, shape or form to immigration. i think the only reason -- i was told this by a senior house democrat yesterday. the only reason that some republicans who are conservative and hate the president's immigration plan could potentially vote for this is that they don't want the department of homeland security to shut down when you have netanyahu coming here next week to give a speech on isis. how would that look? and there are some republicans and dana knows in better than anyone who understand that the public will blame them. our own cnn polling shows that 53% of americans would blame the republicans in congress if the dhs were to shut down and only 30% would blame the president. they understand the optics of this looks really bad for them.

john donaldson has the actual timing here. you say between june and september the fed will raise rates, john, correct? >> they have been giving -- yes. they have been giving strong signals, both governors and regional fed presidents have been remarkably in unison giving winks and nods if not absolute hints this is coming. the timing is data dependent. chairman yellen has been very adamant in all of her testimony and notes from the meetings about that point. i think the, issue that is in front of them right now, is while they have reinforced that data dependency, they have also stuck a calendar reference in the form of patience which everybody interprets to mean at least two more meet frogs now. they really need to get that calendar reference out there. they don't want to be stuck by what the calendar says, rather than what the economic data says. liz: let me give you a little breaking news here. loretta meister of the cleveland federal reserve in the last 30 minutes, that a rate hike this year, is quote a very viable option, very viable option. i bring it to michael binger now. does that affect the way you investing for your client at all? >> no, i don't think so. if the economy is strong enough it warrants a rate hike i'm fine with. that i think it will be more towards the third quarter or fourth quarter. i don't think it will be sooner. but you know stocks are now up 2% for the year. that is better than down three, right? i mean people, you know, people are optimistic on europe. oil recovered, seems like some kind of a bottom in there. that brought commodity stocks up. apple has just been a monster and that really drives indexes because it is such a big component. we're sticking to our zero to 5% forecast. flattish year for stocks. nothing too bad or nothing too great. liz: is june too late? loretta is saying june at federal reserve. that might shock the market especially with people like warren buffett here seeing i don't see how they pull that off? they kept saying it will be in 2015 and now they're kind of stuck doing that, or, jeff, can we actually stand on our own two feet if we raise rates by nano inch? it is ridiculous we could handle it, right? >> right. zero fed funds rate is hedge level for the overnight rate and given what we've seen in the last 12 months for the u.s. labor market in particular, over three million jobs added, i think absolutely the u.s. economy can stand on its own two feet. the big question, liz, we've had, will they really hike with inflation as low as it is? we're at about 1.4% year-over-year on their favorite, their key gauge of inflation, the core pce. we think that could hang out below 1.5% throughout the year. do they really hike, absent sort of inflation pressure? that is the really key question. liz: i'm not sure anybody really knows but that brings us right to this, john donaldson. are you bearish, are you neutral or are you bullish right now? let's make people some money here. >> i think in terms of rates we're certainly conservative to being bearish. we do think rates will end up being a little higher. 10-year treasury is at 2.05. could it have a trade some point during the year, back toward 2.70, 2.75, something like that? we think that is possible. maybe concept of a growth scare, where all of sudden people say gee, the could machine my is doing better than people expect, i think jeff hit one of the best nails right on the head, is framing this conversation in the right reference because we are at zero rates and a lot of the people who are more strident on the fact that the fed can not raise rates talk at though we're at mid-cycle rates and we're actually ratcheting toward a tightening. we're just taking off the emergency zero and, you know, the question becomes, is the economy in a position where the rates deserve to be at zero? we think no, it h
