so we share a royalty outlook. >> kaufman may make it sound easy but, believe me it's not. the culture at quirky is intense, focused and competitive. starting with kaufman himself, who, at the time of our chat hadn't slept in three days. >> are you demanding of your employees? >> yes. >> in what way? >> probably all of them. i mean i expect that stuff happens quickly. speed is a big part of quirky. we can say that quirky time is our weapon. we are faster than any company in the world. in order to do that you need to work hard and break down barriers every day. >> the break neck case has products brought to market with unbelievably short turn around times. their record 29 days from idea submission to short shelves. >> what does a week look like for your employees? >> everyone goes at a different pace. it's the pace that works for them. it's a creative business and creative people get burned out continue 3ikically. we want to prevent that. >> there is no doubt that he wants his staff to work hard but he doesn't want them to burn out so he's figured out a way for them to avoid

kaufman pleaded guilty in february. barbara? >>> we have a developing story in montgomery county right now. a rockville villeville couple found dead. police say it appears to be a homicide. megan mt. groth spoke to their neighbors. >> reporter: police kept watch over the crime scene through the night. investigators returned just before 10:00 a.m. to continue collecting physical evidence in the neighborhood there's a sense of unease. >> i'm concerned because two people have been murdered in our neighborhood, we don't know what happened and it's frightening. >> dick and jodi vilardo were supposed to get together with family for mothers day. when they didn't show relatives came to the house and found them dead. tamm faulkner lives in the neighborhood and received the e-mail update alerting members of the garden club to the murders. >> they told the people they were out with that they were meeting their kids at great falls, it was something they did every year and when they didn't show up at the appointed time and couldn't reach the

rafael kaufman in santa rosa says 56 degrees with that persistent onshore flow and pretty cloudy. just up the road in whispering pines, 76. 15 miles but 20 degrees. another warm spot. we'll be out toward the delta. jerry wilcox in antioch reporting 75 degrees with sunshine. 25 consecutive afternoons cooler than average. how chilly is it here? san francisco with a high of 60 was 17 degrees cooler than north pole alaska. not the north pole but north pole, alaska. 17 degrees warmer than san francisco today. i'm happy to report we'll be milder overnight in alaska. 52 degrees. fremont, 51. san jose, 53. what is not happening? because we're stuck in this pattern for so long, we have a ridge of high pressure but it's in the perfect position to keep us chilly because the low pressure area in front of it will not move. we continue to get the winds wrapping over and down the ridge. that will continue to feed in the onshore flow by one more day. thursday the ridge gets close enough. the onshore flow, chilly flow from the ocean gets minimized. three days we'll be above average. as soon as sun

former assistant attorney general shannon kaufman says that's the way it looks. >> this wouldn't be the first police department the department of justice has under the pretechespretext of fed real law sought to take over. they are running the police department in new orleans, ee seattle newark. the ominously named task force on 21st century policing has said we want to use federal funds in order to basically impose our will on what good law enforcement did and we will dole out the funds according to which departments are basically following our lead. that takes away all of the innovation and local control our founders anticipated and wanted. >> it was a picture of the nsa bulk phone records program where they monitored our phone calls has been declared illegal by the federal appeals court. the surveillance went beyond the scope of what congress authorized under the u.s. patriot act. the program was challenged shortly after edward snowden blew the west he whistle. they forced it to make an emergency landing. about an hour after taking off to fort lauderdale florida the crew on flight 202

what i think is interesting and no better historian has delved into this more than michael kaufman is the analogy to brutus going back to ancient history. john wilkes booth is very much influence by the analogy of julius caesar. brutus stabs julius caesar. it is a public act in the roman senate to save the roman republic from tyranny and prevent it from becoming an empire. john wilkes booth sees himself in the same role, called upon to slay the perceived tyrant lincoln in order to save his beloved republic, the confederate states of america, from tyranny and will likewise be hailed a hero by the people of the south. so he hopes, so he expects, and it totally backfires. we all know this was done on good friday. the timing of the assassination was opposite of anything, the worst thing booth could have done. here we have booth fleeing on the stage. this is not very accurate because when people saw booth on the stage as he fleed after uttering the words, they thought it was part of the play. they recognized booth as an actor and had no idea what had happened here. dr. charles leale is the

women are facing an uphill climb when it comes to starting a business according to new data from the kaufmantart at just 37% of new u.s. businesses last year. that is the second lowest level in nearly two decades. i'm joined by someone who knows all about the challenges of starting her own business, fashion designer, lela rose. thanks so much for joining us today. does that surprise you that there are fewer women starts businesses? >> i would say really when i read the studies it is surprising but there are some real differences think i for women when they are starting businesses. they are -- there are true obstacles. melissa: like what? not lower but just dropped. but higher and higher% which -- >> that it dropped is more concerning. there are gender norms absolutely affect women starting businesses. i also think that -- melissa: like what? >> gender norms, regardless how much we have moved forward i think women are thought of as being primary caretaker for children. melissa: so you think you people take you less seriously when you go in to pitch your business to look for financing? >> i th

would i say this the iowa gop chairman jeff kaufman told the register newspaper we hope governor bush rethinks his decision, realizes grassroots will only grow in iowa if he waters them. wow that is sticky. i'm being kind there. >> they don't like -- in a word they don't like to be ignored. iowa prides itself being first-in-the-nation. they think they should have proper attention paid to them, i agree with arthur. i think it's a smart move. he knows he will lose. like me entering the world championship of poker. i would lose. would never do it in million years. >> bill clinton skipped the iowa primary when he ran the first time because tom harkin was run. he knew he wasn't going to win. >> what about, one thing in the megyn kelly interview when he said that everybody needs to take a chill pill on the polls. another thing when he in the same interview said polls are totally irrelevant. i don't know, is it possible for a presidential, potential presidential candidate to truly believe that? >> no. i don't think he believes they're irrelevant. they're not always accurate. look what happen

do you believe david kaufman of goldman sachs? he is very smart guy. steven lieb, you go with this flat? nothing better than this? >> liz, you just can't talk about the market. it is a number. the point is talk about earnings. what are you expecting for earnings and what do you expect for multiples? i read his article. his articles is that multiples are way extended. liz: price-to-earnings ratios? >> price to earnings ratios are way extended. they're high but not higher than they were at the beginning of the bull market at the end of 2002. in fact they're lower than they were then. liz: they are at 19 or 20? >> they're at 18.6. then they were 19. then they were 19. that was beginning after bull market that saw the market double in four years. really you can't say, if the world picks up growth, et cetera, it will not come to pass. liz: bob, wrong calls by fold man in the past year, there have been a couple doozies not by david kostin. goldman said oil from january 2014 could hit $150 a barrel. we know that didn't happen. called for oil prices to remain

kaufman, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. are there any folks from colorado? please raise your hand. >> they are working on the hospital. >> i want to thank the ranking member. for their help and leadership in trying to get this hospital done, which is in my district. i think it seems to be emerging as if somehow this is a rocky mountain issue or a colorado issue, and it's really not. the men and women we utilize in the hospital didn't serve the region. they serve this nation, and they serve in uniform and made tremendous sacrifices on behalf of all of our freedom. this needs to be recognized as a national issue and not a local thing. that is very important going forward. let me ask you this question. we have an incredible spinal injury center. what is your view about allowing veterans to have access to the facility should they choose to for treatment? >> we support choice. we believe that should be the hospital. i have plenty of friends there. i know what they have got. it is not as good as the v.a. >> is it the patient's decision or the v.a.'s decision? >> i

his big moments were the drew barrymore moment, the weird andy kaufman moment, making paris hilton cry these days i think the interview wouldn't exist if these "a" listers weren't promoting project projects. when you look at the interviews, those are moments that won't exist anymore. >> do you think he did so well with the awkward or strange moments because of his personality? et wasn't afraid to be on the show and kind of show that he didn't have the smoothly polished figured out. >> exactly. no one did interviews like that or treated those hollywood star lets that way with the same concept tickism and raised eyebrow. within of my favorite after interviews was when don king came on he said what's the deal with the hair. that's something all of us wondered for years but no one had the courage to ask. that's part of his huge appeal and why hollywood liked him too. >> he had his heart surgery. talked about that. a feud with oprah for some time. the allegations of sexual misconduct and things like that. he seems to is have risen above. in fact, with some of those things just made it all o

the kaufman foundation recently surveyed 350 female startup tech founders and found the number one shared concern is a lack of role models and meantors for women thinking of going into business for themselves. and recent news reports have noted the chronic underrepresentation of women in the booming tech sector including startups. in fact, women make up only 30% of the tech work force and 22% of the leadership roles despite being 60% of the work force. it's clear that we must do more for women so they can build businesses and create good paying jobs. my amendment would provide that support to women through the i corps by expanding their mission to specifically include support for and investment in female entrepreneurs through mentorship education and training. the i corps program fosters entrepreneurship by giving students the tools they need to move technology from the research lab to the market. i corps is making a difference in helping teach and support entrepreneurs across the country. in my own state the university of connecticut received i corps funding and it's designated as an i c

mike kaufman, house republican from colorado at a fund-raiser in 2002, 2012 said this. i don't know whether barack obama was born in the united states or not but i do knows this. in his heart he is not an american. he is just not an american. the sub human character of african americans has been with us for -- ever since slavery and you see it applied to obama all the time in photoshop pictures of him and michele as apes. there is someone that says has an ape faced obama headlined hail to the gym. there's a t-shirt that shows the chimp behind the lectern bearing the presidential seal. you can also get that as the baby's pink onesy if you like. my wife went to get her our grandchildren some obama teachers and was stunned by how hard it was to get through the labyrinth of racist images that you should get on t-shirts. the primate image was also used against george bush and so was the stupid idea used against. who i think was a lot smarter than most people gave him credit for being but the connotation was different because it didn't come against that long legacy of stereot
