i'm larry bush. i'm a member of friends of ethics.n 2016 and 2018, both times, we paid for professional polling to find out what the public sentiment was on contributions coming from developers and those with land use issues, and i've provided you copies with that, but it was shown that 70% of the people felt we needed to go further than we had. with charlie marstellar, we did a review of lobbying in san francisco city hall and found that 90% of the lobbying is about development, but our law only addresses contracts, not developers per se. this will close one of those loopholes. there's been a lot of talk about what examples we have, and i would point your attention to an article i provided from san francisco public press, which was about allies of the mayor who were called in by the mayor and his top aides, as well as some officials from the board of supervisors and told that their applications for development hinged on whether or not they gave contributions. it was very explicit, and there was a billionaire who was present who said

have addressed and changed urban america, but he was focused on the age-old policies of larry summers. and george bush could have addressed these issues, but he was focused on the war on poverty -- i'm sorry, the war in other countries where we spent more than $7.8 trillion in the last 18 years. there is a war going on in urban america that is really calling on president trump and his administration, i believe, to now invest in an economic policy -- >> laura: he's already doing that with opportunities. he steps up and gets companies to commit big money in places like chicago and so forth. it's kind of a chicken and an egg problem -- >> laura, on the issue of the opportunity zones, i believe it's a great start to incentivize private investors, but i've learned in our communities that that private investment is just not enough. we have to get more public money to bear against the private money because we need something to complement it. quite frankly, poor people in urban america cannot afford the private lending, they cannot afford for their children to be able to eat, they cannot afford for more affor

larry would have a business tycoon, whatever. february '82, ross perot was on there. two days later, george bushton, paul tsongas was making noise. paul went on larry king's show and larry king said, would you think about running for president? perot said, i'll tell you what, if you the people are that serious about it you register my name in all 50 states, and i'll do it. it was taken as an empty promise, sort of a nonsense. and yet, in an overnight, we didn't have the internet like we do, a grassroots movement sprang up. they handed in 258,000 signatures in texas for ross perot. by the late spring of '92, he was running in first place in the national polls, ahead of bush, ahead of clinton. there was serious talk that he could actually win the presidency and the electoral college. of course, as the scrutiny intensified things changed for perot. i think there were a lot of precursors in that 1992 race. >> it's interesting, we think about all of the years that changed politics. a lot of people obviously look back at 1966, for the beginning of the reagan revolution. 1974, the watergate babies, as

he announced on "larry king" -- which something was not done in those days. he was leading the polls against president bush clinton. and people forget he dropped out of the race with nutty conspiracy talk about the republicans disrupting his daughter's wedding. dropped back into the recent time for the debates, ended up with a strong showing but not winning. >> harris: look at the giant wall there. the perot campaign causes jitters among bush and clinton advisors. he wrote that in october '92. what was it like for ross perot to come in and be a disruptor? >> he capitalized on the satisfaction with both parties. he was a plain-spoken texas guy who was getting into the hood and help fix the economy. to do his will the next time around. here's what ross perot accomplished. all of his eccentric cities. he made both parties take the budget deficit seriously, which was quite high at the time. everybody was talking about what they were going to do to fix the fact that america was spending we beyond its means. >> harris: texarkana, texas. my mom was born a few years near ross perot. i knew about him as a businessm

larry kudlow was apparently mystified by some of the proposals he was hearing from the left. with me now, former white house chief of staff or george h.w. bush. how are you doing? good morning to you. >> happy fourth of july week. >> bill: and to you as well. what do you think about larry kudlow's remarks? >> well, i think he makes the right point, but i think larry and the republicans are not really fully explaining what they really mean when he says he doesn't understand what planet they are coming from. the democrats talk about income inequality, and what they want to do is solve that problem by punishing people at the top. where republicans want to solve that problem by elevating the job opportunity and income to the middle class and the job opportunity and the income for those below the middle class. you can sell the inequality problem two ways. the way the democrats want to do it destroys the golden rule of investment that comes from the top that creates the job that elevates wages. the way that the republicans are doing it creates jobs, elevates wages, and the proof in the pudding is in the great two years that larry kudlow likes to t

bush and other presidents. clinton obviously. right now china is not very happy because thousands of companies are leaving china and they're going to other places, including the united states. ashley: listen to what larryis show friday. roll that tape. >> telephone, telecommunications between the top people which began pre-owe zaka will continue, i know they're working coming up with a date for so-called face-to-face meetings. that will happen. i don't know if that is this coming week. i think the phone calls are this week. the face-to-face may not be for another week. i don't want to get ahead of that curve. it is under negotiation which is a good thing. ashley: it's a good thing. at least they're talking. let's bring in michael pillsbury, hudson institute senior fellow. michael, the trump administration still trying to remain optimistic. are you optimistic? >> well, i'm optimistic in the long run. obviously if the talks restart with a face-to-face delegations whether beijing or here we'll find out quite quickly, how much of china reneged on are they willing to put back. that may not be leaked right away. that may be kept confidential to save face on both sides. but the long term approach here that pr
