about the committee itself and extending it for a few years. >> my name is kevin chang and in order to oversee all of the billions of dollars, $4.6 billion in order to implement systemwide improvements for water, wastewater and sewer lines for the -- power, sorry for the city and county for all members of public to be able to examine how the money is being spent and whether it's being spent properly and more importantly this huge capital project will be on-time and onbudget. and this has been the primary focus of the program. as the implementation of these projects, the first eight years was started around the design of the projects and now we're actually in the middle of all of the implementation in building of all the seats. this is the proper time to actually have the body extended in order to provide the public the assurance and the trust that they need that these funds are well-spent and well-placed thank you. >> colleagues, questions? >> i was wondering in the original proposition date was originally set for 2013? was that just a random date? >> i think the earlier estimates f

kevin. guest: i do not know about you. it changes based on commodity prices around the world. second, i just want to say thank you for saying at least that there is gold in fort knox. most of the time they say that we are being fooled. so i appreciate your interest to acknowledging that. i had a client of mine, and they were responsible for the fort knox. let's get back to a couple of things. the value of the money, the question cannot be answered as you put it. -- our. -- out. a lot depends on the dollar amount and what is happening around the world. if you look good interest rates, the demand for dollars continuestherefore, the dollar is relatively well valued, and

change. well kevin president obama had a news conference this tuesday where he was asked about he was asked why no meaningful action has been taken on gun control in the last four years of his presidency although one of his campaign pledges was a ban on assault weapons he basically said he had lots of other things to do including waging two wars and quote it's not like i've been on vacation those in the us who suffered in numerous incidents of gone violence would probably not be satisfied with such an answer but the president pledged to finally take more active steps in the coming months he says the administration will come up with a more definitive proposal on gun control but people have heard those words before and nothing happened getting a semiautomatic weapon is not a problem in the u.s. adam lanza who killed twenty small children and six was also at an elementary school last week fired from a semi-automatic bushmaster rifle and it's a military style rifle powerful weapon and his sales are on the rise in the u.s. in the last four years the market was such guns grew thirty percent president

. >> kevin is the changing face of the drug war.uld think of as the usual target of the drug war. black people have been the primary target. here you have a middle-aged white person from oklahoma who found himself having a third non-violent offense that put him in jail not just for life, but life without parole. now you have a non-violent person who will go to jail for the rest of their life and never get out, and you have murderers down the hall who will get out in ten to 15 years. it's that kind of dysfunction this system no longer makes any sense, which is why a growing number of voices is a real movement now to say enough is enough. >> what are the costs to our society? >> the costs are immense. i mean, first of all, you have the economic costs. this is tens of billions that we spend that are just thrown into a hole in the ground because people like to say this is a business. that part of the reason the prison industrial complex can sort of call the shots here is that it's such a look ravsh business. well, jobs do depend on it,

a lot will depend on the consciences of people who opposed the laws and have a change of heart. >> and kevin, six week ago, approximately, we had an election. >> you noticed that. >> what did you see? what patterns did you see? what lessons can you take from what the voting was? >> i think there are several things. one is the there is a big cautionary tale in this election for republicans and for conservative religious groups who want to put an emphasis on the hot button social issues. gay marriage, abortion, and this year, rape, surprisingly. that's not going to be enough to win anymore. and they can't just rely on the traditional white evangelical base to win anymore. they need to broaden the tent. if they push too hard on some of these conservative, really conservative social issues, it will end up alienating and i think we saw that in a lot of the senate races. so i think the key takeaway from this year's election was that it would be broader. what that means for religious people, it will need to be a broader set of issues that they get involved in. >> one of my favorite quotes from afte

debt is a fantasy finally something we can agree on the more loose change let's get to today's capital account. our guest kevin phillips made a name for himself in the late one nine hundred sixty s. as a g.o.p. operative who coined the phrase and wrote the book the emerging republican majority predicting the rise of the republican party by securing the south for a generation fast forward though and now he's writing about revolution in particular seven hundred seventy five which he says was a good year for it that was of course when the american revolution was going on and when it comes to this war he gets into economic factors that may not have gone down as saliently in mainstream history as taxation without representation but were major goals none the less among them was the inability of colonists to manage their own monetary affairs because of british policies also over indebtedness that was in part the result and the brits control of trade which required certain commodities to actually pass through middlemen all the way over london now to delve into what we can learn from this history as the u.s. faces its

kevin, have a good week. thank you. mexico's new president was inaugurated over the weekend. 46-year-old enrique pena nieto says he wants to changeexico's relationship with the u-s toward trade and manufacturing and away from violent drug cartels. our cover story takes look at nieto's priorities. mexico's newly-elected president enrique pena nieto who visited the white house last week, inherits a war within his country. this youtube video posted two months ago describes drug cartel hitmen capturing sections of juarez, across the border from el paso. "part of mexico's problem is that it's affected by the us, by our drug policies." pena nieto vowed to cut mexico's murder rate in half by replacing poorly-paid local police with a centralized force. some say that may address the symptoms but the cause. "you've got to pay the police well or they'll become corrupt.combine that with our drug policy which fosters illegal supply with demand and it worsens mexico's situation." despite gruesome crime scenes, mexico is a good bet to pimco, which now owns more than half of mexico's fixed rate peso bond market. a fifth of its population has now

kevin haslett. do you agree? >> i think going from 35 to 39.6, it does depend on what else is going on that rate change alone isn'the biggest thing in the world there was a survey of a bunch of tax economists i cite a lot in congressional testimony and elsewhere that found if you had a big fundamental tax reform you ought to be able to get an extra percent a year out of growth. the tax increase would be the opposite of tax reform. it would have an opposite effect. it would be negative for sure. but it certainly wouldn't be as big as 1% a year, i would guess. it would be smaller than that. so if we have external shocks, if fracking takes off and the economy starts to boom, and if we go up to 39.6, we could still have a good year. i don't think anyone disputes the effect is negative. minus .2% or minus .8%, that's probably the range we're talking. >> you're always so good to us. you always say nice things about canada when talking about taxes. you mentioned a study, one of the more comprehensive studies of the effect of tax increases on the economy. done with christine roemer. not someone you share a lot of ideologi

kevin haslett. do you agree? >> you know, i think going from 35% to 39.6%, again, it does depend on what else is going on. that rate changene isn't the biggest thing in the world. there was a survey of tax economists i cite in congressional testimony and elsewhere that found if we had a big fundamental tax reform you'd have to get an extra percent a year or so out of growth for a while. this tax increase would be the opposite of tax reform so it would have an opposite effect. it would be negative for sure but not as big as 1% a year. it would be smaller than that. so if we have external shocks, if fracking takes off and the economy starts to boom, then if we go up to 39.6%, we could still have a good year. but i don't think anyone disputes that the effect is negative. and there's probably some disagreement about whether it's minus.2% or minus 0.8%, but that's probably the range. >> you always say nice things about canada when talking act taxes. talking to my producers you mentiod a study, one of the more comprehensive done about the effect of tax increases on the economy done by christina roemer, not someone with whom you

bringing color in, kevin, is we're using these fabrics here on the pillows on the sofa, so it'll be bright splashes of color on a neutral background, something that sally can changep all the time and really keep it fresh looking. so the color just comes in though, as accents. little touches. something else we're excited about is the powder room. sally found this great wallpaper that has a really fun, fluid movement that has almost a water-like feel. we're painting the vanity cabinet this great blue, and i think it'll be a real surprise when you come into the house. cool. and not everything is new. do you recognize these? uh, you know i think i do. weren't these holding up a porch on our house that's no longer there? exactly. you guys collectors? is that why you're hanging on to them? well, they're beautiful pieces and we really wanted to work them into the design somehow. mm-hmm. we decided that we're going to use them in the entry foyer. as you come in there will be a table, so we're going to get a piece of wood to go over it, and it will just be a great place to drop something off or drop keys off as you come into the house. oh, that's great. it's nice to bring

change of service thing that has a lot of people up in arms? did instagram make a tremendous mistake? >> well, the main thing i would say is that i think kevin sistern really understands his customer and customer experience and i'm certain he'll get this right and do the right thing. inc. it is something the media has probably blown out of proportion. instagram has reached levels of penetration that are unbelievable and i think the person that put this on their smart phone in topeka yesterday is probably not thinking much about the terms of service. >> this made me just think back to netflix right when netflix changed its service they alienated a lot of people. once do you that it's hard to get people back. do you fear that we could be talking about the same thing developing with instagram? once you alienate a substantial amount of your clients, don't you have an issue? >> yeah. i don't fear that in this case. >> what is the one social media company that your a he going to be watching in 2013, bill? >> i think from a social media perspective it's got to be facebook. the reach is just so grand. certain companies that have found a way to integ

[laughter] do you notice that is the one that's curtained off here? it's like 7/eleven, so you guys should put your book on the sex aisle. [laughter] it would sell much better. >> we should have called the book "50 shades of homelessness." >> yeah. it would have sold a lot better. >> it would have. >> so the -- you guys have such dirty minds. get out of the gutter. [laughter] but these guys, the poignant testimonies you were telling us because we live in a society where here are front line first responders. these guys tell stories about intervening in petty crime. we had one of the buildings that was targeted by some people who had terroristic intents, and they're on the front lines with this. and yet we can onl

bringing color in, kevin, is we're using these fabrics here on the pillows on the sofa, so it'll be bright splashes of color on a neutral background, something that sally can changeme and really keep it fresh looking. so the color just comes in though, as accents. little touches. something else we're excited about is the powder room. sally found this great wallpaper that has a really fun, fluid movement that has almost a water-like feel. we're painting the vanity cabinet this great blue, and i think it'll be a real surprise when you come into the house. cool. and not everything is new. do you recognize these? uh, you know i think i do. weren't these holding up a porch on our house that's no longer there? exactly. you guys collectors? is that why you're hanging on to them? well, they're beautiful pieces and we really wanted to work them into the design somehow. mm-hmm. we decided that we're going to use them in the entry foyer. as you come in there will be a table, so we're going to get a piece of wood to go over it, and it will just be a great place to drop something off or drop keys off as you come into the house. oh, that's great. it's nice to bring some of the
