>> let me add my views as a layperson. hull and all the legal issues that had been discussed, it is very simple. number one, the video. that we have seen, miss lopez taped with the assistance of her friend and neighbor. there is no way to look at that video. and not believe that something serious occurred. and an indictment of her husband. she is an actress. was that back? i have no way of knowing. i believe what i saw. number two, in the end, ross mirkarimi made a plea bargain. so he pleaded guilty to perhaps something lesser. i don't know if it would be a lesser or greater in terms of false imprisonment. there is a lot of discussion and perhaps by pleading to this he avoided a much more serious issue. we did not hear what those discussions were between all the attorneys in coming up with that plea deal. those things are an indictment of what occurred. none of us were there and we don't know what took place. lpsomething serious did take ple in the share of ultimately pleaded guilty -- the share oerf pleaded guilty. >> nex

as a layperson, some of this can get a little bit market for me. with this definition, i do see that there is a relationship to the duties of this office of sheriff, and also that it is behavior that falls below a common standard of decency. domestic violence is something we take very, very seriously. just because it was not the most extreme form does not mean that it is not domestic violence. the sheriff is the head of a law-enforcement agency. i do not think the sheriff should be an example of reform to justice -- reformative justice. the sheriff should be someone who follows the letter of the law, someone we can all emulate. i would certainly feel that this has been violated. chairperson hur: ok, i think probably -- i appreciate the views of my fellow commissioners. i appreciate also that i am clearly in the minority here. i think they are very informed and wise use. i will say one thing, in response to commissioner studley. you are right. the language is all over the place. it could be interpreted as the people wanting to be broad. one reason i

to a layperson that doesn't sound very scientific and is not very reassuring. maybe you could talk more about that. >> i would say just looking at everything cdph has done today i think their reactions or responses have been timely and appropriate under the circumstances because you have an ongoing cleanup action as you know, but you also have residents and workers in close proximity. so they've been very proactive and diligent in the actions they've taken, which included so-called direct surveys, where you're making direct measurements of exposure rates in these residential areas, also you mentioned the white surveys. when you talk about surface contamination you can take a detector and take a measurement on the surface and say there's a certain activity level there. in addition you want to know if they're removal activity because that could present a greater hazard to individuals and would also be indicative, if present, would be indicative of activity that would have been say wind blown or something of that nature. so if it's removal, it's readily dispersibl

i'm hoping that the book is useful to laypersons and a lot of policymakers who haven't had experience and perhaps here and there to those who have i try to bring this to the general public in a way that i think hasn't been possible before because now we have concrete examples to illustrate the abstractions. there are three problems i'm going to focus on today. the problem iran poses, the problem india and pakistan have posed with iran being the problem in the revolutionary state with nuclear weapons, the problem with pakistan and india being civilian energy as a platform for getting to nuclear weapons and the third one specialized problem of small power vulnerability as evidenced by what is called electromagnetic pulse and i will talk about that from the get to it and the implications for missile defense. from then i will move on and conclude. in the case of iran which i think we could say is every now and then in the news and i saw yesterday the story about the up over surprise. the fundamental problem here is the possibility of a cuban missile crisis in the middle east and to unders

i'm hoping that the book by the way it's of use to lehman, laypersons, also to a lot of policymakers who have had experience, and even of some use perhaps here and there, but specifically i try to bring this to the general public in a way that i think really hasn't been possible before because now we've got concrete examples to illustrate things which rather than talk about abstractions. so i would say the three problems i'm going to focus on today are the problem iran poses, the problem that india and pakistan have posed. iran being the problem of the revolutionary state in pursuit of nuclear weapons. the problem with pakistan and indian being energy as a springboard for giving nuclear weapons. and the third one, specialist call a small power vulnerability as evidenced by what is called electromagnetic pulse. i'll talk about that when we get to it. and implications for missile defense. and then from then i will move on to conclude. in the case of iran which i think we can say is every now again in the notes, and i saw just yesterday a story about will it deliver an october surprise.

i'm hoping that the book, by the way, is of use to laymen layperson is also to a lot of policy makers who haven't had experience -- some use perhaps here and there and those that have. it's spoaskly try to bring this to the general public in a way that i think hasn't been possible before because now we have concrete examples to illustrate things rather than talk about abstractions. so i would say that three problems i'm going to focus on today are the problem iran poses, the problem that indian and pakistan have posed, or iran being the problem of the revolutionary state, and pursuit of nuclear weapons. the problem with pakistan and indian being civilian energy by a spring board of getting to nuclear weapons, and the third one specialize problem of small power vulnerability as every dayed by what is called the electromagnetic. i'll talk about that and get to it. and the implications from missile defense. and then from then i'll move on. in the case of iran, which i think question say this is every now and then in the news, and i -- [inaudible] the problem here is the possibility of a

listen, i'm a layperson. i don't get paid for this things like this.uld have been ready when he asked romney about afghanistan and not mentioning it at the convention, you know what romney was going to say. he spoke the day before. what's the follow-up question? it isn't that you missed the opportunity before ten or 15 more people, the follow-up question is with all due respect, mr. romney, you only spoke 16 seconds and had nothing to do with policy. hello! but no! a fluff follow-up question. my question to you is do you think that david sort of missed that opportunity? was it on purpose? >> bill: oh, yeah, i did indeed. i thought about this when i heard it. judd, you may want to comment. at the very end of the interview, david gregory said stay safe. you know. i think when conservatives say stay safe, that's a code word for saying yeah, i'm with you. i'm with you. i don't know. i was suspicious of that. >> i don't think that -- >> bill: joe appreciate the call. go ahead. >> i don't think that david gregory is the most aggressive interviewer and i thin

i am just a layperson. i watch a lot of c-span. the people that were given these tax cuts to, instead of investing the money in are in the in this country, they look at the bottom line and take the jobs overseas. the most expensive part of a job is labor. if you can get a job done at $5 an hour, with america you might be getting paid $15 an hour. i do think the economy is getting better. i just think that, you know, the so-called job creators need to be more patriotic to were the country. host: thank you. let's listen to another clip from a virginia group of undecided voters. the question is "was cares or concerns you right now?" >> just the whole economy. how do we get out? i do not see any candidates really having a plan were really giving direction. host: back to the newspapers this morning. next from twitter -- let's take the next call from here in washington, d.c. joyce is a republican. caller: i agree with those who say i do not think we are recovering. i think the major part of it is so many of the billionaire's are sailing

the layperson, this sounds like a coordinated terrorist attack.rotest. let alone the intelligence that the administration ought to have. >> little reported were also simultaneous attacks taking place with healthcare workers and nuns were attacked and stabbed at the same time how could this be pulled off without being coordinated attack. >> and also 9/11 as we mentioned. yesterday, hillary clinton, secretary of state, did come out and say unequivocally for the first time if she is speaking for the administration. hard to know if she is speaking for the administration or just herself. in this was absolutely a terrorist attack. now congressman buck mckean has gone on fox news yesterday and talked about how we are supposed to respond now. >> the idea that they have been telling us for a week that there was a demonstration that spun out of control when anybody that had any idea of what was really going on knew that it was a terrorist attack. it was a follow-up to 9/11. it was led by al qaeda. i mean, let's get real with this. this is just a total joke.
