looking at this legislative digest, i am a layperson. i do not know the supper well. -- this stuff very well. i read the ethics digest and thing, that is not so bad. i have to talk to my friends to find out what is wrong with it. for example, the legislation would impose consistent disclosure and disclaimer requirements whenever a third party spends $5,000 or more for such communications. it does not say that it is not requiring disclosure for spending less than $5,000, which we obviously need. i am concerned about the charitable fundraisers. what is a charitable fund- raiser? it could be an industry advocacy group. i am concerned about the proposal to limit -- to take be removed limit for contributions. somebody like ron conway could come to the city and give $5,000 to every single candidate. i am concerned about the list. when you make lists caught in items one and two in this proposal, you are opening up the legislation to loopholes. thank you. >> i am a former ethics commissioner. i want to address two issues. first of all, as to whe

i'm a layperson, but i've read some of the studies. i'm aware of it. i'm asking you as an expert in the subject area. is heroin worse for someone's health than marijuana. >> i'm asking as a police officer and as a dea agent that these drugs are illegal because they are dangerous, because they are addictive. >> okay. >> because they do hurt a person's health. >> so heroin is more addictive than marijuana? is heroin more addictive than marijuana in your experience? >> generally the properties of heroin, yes, is more addictive. >> is methamphetamine more addictive than marijuana? >> well, both are addictive. >> well, is methamphetamine more highly addictive than marijuana? >> i think some people become addicted to marijuana and some people become addicted to methamphetamine. >> you mentioned at the top -- your top priority i believe you indicated to us is abuse of prescription drugs. is one of the main classifications of prescription drugs painkillers that you're concerned about? >> that's correct. >> and are those painkillers addictive? >> yes, they are.

and prosthesis, i think we, i state myself as a layperson, in the va terminology, we would think of it as a limb. it could be any -- it could be a hearing aid, wheelchair or crutch. am i correct on that? >> it was, but this report that we issued looked at the limbs. >> just at the limbs. >> yes. >> okay. you also agree that this was not an apples to apples, when you were looking at it, not really sure what that $2900 -- >> we absolutely agree with that. it was the only cost information available. we put it in the report and clearly said it wasn't apples to apples in our footnote there. the fact was va did not have good information to make decisions on whether it should have labs, whether the labs could provide these items at a more economical cost and the same quality, they just did not have that type of information when my team went out. >> dr. daigh, fascinating data that you had that you presented. did i hear right that there were 33 that had three amputations, more than two? >> yes, sir. it was roughly -- i believe the number we had in the report was 33 individuals who had three or

social magisterium, how do you apply the doctrine of your teaching into your everyday life as a layperson. >> but a group of nuns are questioning his social justice. they're embarking on a bus tour of their own across nine states, protesting the ryan plan. the tour launched in iowa where the nuns visited the office of steve king. the sisters said they made an appointment with the congressman, who is a catholic, but when they arrived at the doors of steve king, the office appeared closed. today, they arrived in wisconsin, the home of paul ryan. let's turn to sister simone campbell, organizer of the nuns on a bus tour. sister, good to have you with us tonight. i want to get your reaction of what you just heard from paul ryan, his justification for these cuts through his faith as a catholic. what do you make of that? >> well, it may be what his faith tells him, but he certainly doesn't know the fullness of faith. he only talks about individual responsibility, and that's only half of the story. the rest of the story is that we know we can be responsible but only in community. we have to have

when i looks at that number as a layperson, i don't know, i know that there are different whether events that are not necessarily related to climate change whether it's a snowstorm, it's hot, a drought or a flood but when you look at 6.5 times area being burn since 1970 it seems hard to, etc. scape the conclusion that this has something to do with climate change. >> yes, you're right on track with the scientific evidence. climate change is impacting the ground conditions. earlier snow melts that dry out the soils and higher temperatures that create the increased risk. in the colorado situation it's further compounded by the pine bark beetle which is lasting longer and reproduceing frequently because of the higher temperatures. that's ravaging the forest, and that's creating a tinderbox situation. so a lightening strike or a human-caused fire can quickly get out of control and make it very hard for firefighting techniques that we have available today. >> cenk: this is happening across the country. sometimes they are made worse by situations as the one you just described in colorado, but w

what i am happy about is they managed to keep the prudent layperson standard there, which basically lets us allow our patients to come in and still be seen for emergency care. you know, we can't put the onus on the patient to say, oh that, chest pain i have is just a bum stomach or indigestion. that was something that really concerned me as an emergency physician. i don't want my patient self-diagnosing. they i want them to come in and be seen by a competent physician and be treated. >> greta: doctor, do you have a sense that this is the right direction or a good idea for doctors? and also for patients? if you are a patient, whether you like it or not, sooner or later -- or is this health care law, has -- is it too early to tell whether it's good, bad or indifferent? >> i think it's a little early to tell. but the truth of the matter is, whether we need a reform or not, just giving people insurance coverage doesn't guarantee them access to care. and the e.r. is always the safety net that is there picking up the slack. >> greta: if you could, do anything with this health care, what would

. >> so i think this makes sense twomey, the relatives layperson, that if the government tells me is the right to emit 100 units of this commodity do you define, academic 100 tons piercer of a piece of paper that size, this is 100 times of my rights to emit. and i figure a way to reduce the emissions to zero. install some technology, whatever it is. i sequestered carbon offset i cannot have this piece of paper and can't even say i am not smarter -- i am smarter than you. you are not so smart. why these rights to emit 100 units for me. you'll pay me for it and now way we can establish a market price. >> and it's really interesting because it may sound complex to you, but let me bring it down to the teacher and glen falls, new york, who is describing to the class a one-year mission to figure out how i'm five co2 emissions, acid rain could be opened and needed. and the teacher decided, okay, everybody in this room could have the right to chew gum in class for two hours a day. and if one particular student at didn't want to chew it all, they could sell the chewing gum right to another st

>>darya: a year of the layperson is statistics posted these statistics.s is department of labor and statistics. >>mark: shoe fanatics are lining up to get their hands on the latest nike shoe. jackie sizzle is on the scene. >>jackie: how long would you be willing to wait in line for a pair of sneakers? if you ask this person, they had been in new-line since monday afternoon in. let's take a look at what they look like. they are graded by caught the west. they're going to $250. and any can sell them for thousands of dollars on ebay issue is did not go on sale until saturday. they're about 40 people that had been waiting there. we talk to someone. >> i am not aware of them. i will probably stop them and an adventurous sell them. i will wait until they have appreciated a napa valley. >> un you can see this is reminiscent manley say the new apple products come out. these people are in the stay here until saturday morning. one person who was a new- line sense that that rumor is that there are only 25 to 30 pairs of shoes. it doesn't even look like every one tha

megyn: that is a layperson's recitation where you're hypersexual, inappropriately hypersexual. use that to justify those inappropriate letters. david lee miller, thank you. wow, what a case. >>> well, president obama now on the defensive after critics charge his administration orchestrated leaks of classified intelligence information, a claim the president strongly denies. coming up, we'll speak with ambassador john bolton who has sat in on many high-level meetings in the oval office. we'll ask him who could have had the ability to leak that information. >>> and robin roberts revealing she's been diagnosed with mds. we'll look at this disease andrr hear part of her emotional announcement next. low back pain. imagine you, with less pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day, can help reduce this pain. tell your doctor right away if your mood worsens, you have unusual changes in mood or behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens, and young adults. cymb

i'm just a layperson.ndividual mandate, and made it that you could get out of it if you would pay this penalty. we didn't call it a tax. and we did everything possible to get it in place, and let the court then say, well really this is just a tax issue, because it really is money we're going to spend one way or another, and this is how we're going to collect it and spend it, and i -- i think that you are right. the guys that put this together figured out a way around that tax issue, which is everybody is scared of no new taxes. >> right. >> in fact they want the benefit, and i think people will be glad of what this will cost. >> well, again, it's just evidence of how far right the republican party has gone because you couldn't even call it a mandate which was a conservative idea. >> yeah. >> so it just -- i -- you know, i think -- like i say a victory for the american people, but boy that was hard fought wasn't it? >> it sure was, and i think it will be interesting to watch mr. romney begin to be a dancer

>> absolutely. [ fun-facts music ] >> the layperson doesn't understand -- >> with the announcement thatcongress say this must mean he was involved in the scandal. >> computer says no. >> as i was -- i was talking about boner's spokesman, the white house decision to invoke the privilege implies either the administration was involved were they lying or are they now bending the law to hide the truth. [ screaming ] >> or is ben diesel the real culprit. [ dramatic music ] >> what? >> there are two types of executive privilege. president's reagan george hw bush, and george w. bush all invoted the privilege. as was invoked as recently as 2008. [ dramatic music ] >> isn't that weird? >> furthermore the very man behind the witch hunt against holder has in the past recognized that same privilege for the bush administration. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> then it was all very very appropriate now it is hhhhhhhhorrible. here it is can hardly be interpreted as any privilege. something clearly absent in this low-level screw up. [ applause ] >> it's uppity privilege! no! [ laughter ] >> they are so c

. >> to a layperson that sounds scary. i want to talk about memory loss. lyrics to her own song "soak up the song." let's listen to it and talk about that afterwards. ♪ watching tv ♪ mmm oh, what's the words? it's live, nothing on tape here. >> so you know some people believe that because she forgot the lyrics to the song that there's some sort of a connection between the tumor and her memory lapse. is that true? >> she told sanjay her doctor says that is not true that she forgot the words to her own song because, well, she's 50 and she has two small children and like many of us, she doesn't get enough sleep so she had that sort of senior moment, not because of the brain tumor but because of life. >> and is it more common in women that age this type of tumor? >> it is more common in women and it is more common in women as we get older, and that it's not exactly clear why there seem to be some relationships between the tumors and hormones. >> when i first read it, i know sheryl crow is a breast cancer survivor and sometimes the treatments that you have for

. >> no, just look at the science, this is your area of expertise but i'm a layperson but i've read someof the studies. i'm just asking you as an expert in the subject area, is heroin worse for someone's health than marijuana? >> and i am answering as a police officer and as a dea agent, that these drugs are illegal because they are dangerous because they are addictive, because they do hurt a person's health. >> so heroin is more addictive than marijuana. is heroin more addictive than their one of? >> i think generally the properties of heroin, yes, more and to give? >> is meth more addictive than marijuana? >> well, both are addictive. >> is methamphetamine more highly addictive than marijuana? >> i think some people become addicted to marijuana, and some people become addicted to methamphetamine. >> you mention at the top, your top 30 is abuse of prescription drugs. is one of the main classifications of prescription drugs painkillers that you're concerned about? >> that's correct. >> are those painkillers addictive? >> yes, they are the very addictive. >> are those painkillers more add

and it may judgment and much more considerable layperson than he was portrayed as being in the media i've seen before i came to know him. >> to move forward now because they've covered intervening grounds already and what we say to the future of cover the end to power up 490-8449, were as far as you can cause the press made no formal could no director for what representations of the less government on matters affecting the formulation of policy and the media itself. and many sewer however regularly exposed to views on all its views in the media policies through their editorials. so as far as your recollection that is, you can remember no express lobbying view on ada issues, right click >> no, no. i honestly don't believe there were any. i mean, i've listed my contacts with the media. .. in the consultation that we had over and i am sure they did, and it is perfectly proper for them to express. i have no problem and i think that is what they should do. >> you identify one instance in opposition to the peace process crossed the boundary of fair comment but where exactly is that boundar

i., this is a layperson, but i do have some images of the wind part of this.whenever i discuss the subject, i wonder why in discussing it. by discussing it because it's politically correct to do so or is there a viable energy option here? what is the difference between doing something that sounds good and feels good and the real dollars and cents of making a practical diversified energy site? i had a session once a ted turner who told me he was the biggest landowner in the united states and he wanted to but windfarms in buffalo. he was into buffalo and really into windfarms, but the absence of a national grid in various problems made it impractical to do so. but it is an obsession of his. there may be people from the u.n. foundation are tax return since i have, but he was very seen me about it at one time. so let me just open a discussion. i will start with michael and if i it correctly who was invested heavily across an energy spectrum and nonetheless participate with 20% of the wind energy market in the united states. why do i ask you to start. are we discus

i come at this as a layperson. i do have some images -- images of the wind part of this. when i discussed this, i wonder why i am discussing this? is there a viable energy option in here? what is the difference between something that south good -- sounds good and feels good and having an energy policy? ted turner wanted to put wind on all of the wind firms in buffalo. but the -- all of the wind farms in buffalo. but there was an absence of a national infrastructure grid. let me open the discussion. i will start with michael. your firm, which has invested heavily across the energy spectrum, has about 20% of the wind energy market in the united states. are we discussing this because that -- it is politically correct to do so? >> the first and primary reason we got into wind and solar was [unintelligible]. then a former vice president gave a speech at the oscars and wind energy got a lot of attention. in the beginning it was always our fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders. in the last few years, we have utilities scaling solar. we continue to invest in it. it is a go
