ethan, let me ask you this. you know, in california, there are a number of offenses, drug possession offenses, that are punished already as misdemeanors. i think met amphetamine, p.c.p., i think valium, certain steroids, and yet we treat as felonies, the possession of cocaine and heroin as felonies. did you see this kind of discrepancy in the other states that your organization has worked to -- >> matt, if i could, i think the perspective i could offer would be more useful in that is really putting what the u.s. is doing, california is doing in a more global perspective. because what one sees around the world is a growing number of countries that are choosing to decriminalize the possession of all drugs, when the proposals now are merging -- new jersey did this a few years ago in a small way, colombia, argentina, ecuador, guatemala, some with right wing governments, very tough on crime, and in europe, similarly. it's not generally the standards to be putting people behind bars for a possession of any drug in sma

he didn't get a chance to call 911. >> let me ask you, sheriff -- let me ask you sheriff the mayor asked you very quickly. yes or no, do you support the idea of background checks for all gun trades? >> what i support is a prosecutor's office and a judiciary that hammers the people who illegally use a firearm in the commission of a crime. >> can you answer the question? >> we need to start by enforcing the laws that are on the books first before we start penalizing law abiding citizens. because i trust law abiding citizens. >> i asked you a simple question and you couldn't answer it. we'll leave it there. >> it might not be the answer that you wanted, but it was an answer. >> thank you very much. the answer's normally to the question i posed which was about background checks. you chose not to answer it. >>> did the nfl cook the books so a black referee would be on the field for the super bowl? >>> there's a big controversy tonight surrounding the super çl >>> there's a big controversy tonight surrounding the super bowl. all about one of the top referees picked fothe game and contentious a

let me let me one will let me ask you a point. here on this network is what we're having the debate we have our night show. with you this is a little thing there again here it is or it will be i don't want you to talk about surveillance we. welcome back well the fiscal cliff deal wasn't the only news coming out of capitol hill last night more than two months after one of the most destructive storms to ever hit the u.s. made landfall the house of representatives has yet to pass a sixty point four billion dollars hurricane sandy relief bill that the senate approved of last week the house chose not to vote on the bill again last night now this afternoon a fiery new jersey governor chris christie took one shot after another house speaker john boehner and house republicans for their quote toxic internal politics . for the victims of sandy in new jersey new york and connecticut it's been sixty six days and the wait continues. there's only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims the house majority and the

okay seeing none, let me ask if there are members of the public that oppose any or all of the resolutions today that wish to speak in public comment? all right seeing none, let me call back the s fm ta you shall have 15 minutes if you wish to provide a rebuttal to the property owner. >> we would continue to work with the apple store and bull gare location [spelling?] we have beenwork wing them diligently since may of 2012 and the you remembercy of acquiring these licenses is that the installation will be in june of next year and these licenses will allow they are temporary in nature and they will allow us to allow preventive measures that allows the city to protect existing buildings and once we acquire the license we will be able to install the monitoring equipment immediately and use both the monitoring equipment and grouting tubes until the end of construction which, is anticipatedded in december of 2018. thank you. >> thank you. supervisor wiener i think has a question for you. >>> yeah could you provide a more specific response to the gentlemen who just disputed in terms of the prope

victimization and breaks the cycle of crime so we don't have the next generation coming into the system. >> let me ask you this, it seems that over the years there's been an acceptance that somebody could be on probation and perhaps get caught when they give, let's say, urine tests or whatever is the requirement of their probation, but let's say a dirty test, testing positive for marijuana and slowly over the years it seems like the probation department gave that less importance. there was a time when that would have been treated as a violation, over time it hasn't been treated as a very serious violation. tal raised the issue about responsible drug use, and when we get into the area of heroin or cocaine or other drugs, are you seeing that there are some probationers that can in fact use these substances in a recreational manner and still be otherwise law-abiding? >> well, first i'll say as an officer of the court, my job is to, of course, enforce the law, but with that said, i think what probation has realized, and not just san francisco probation, i think we're a very progressive leader, is the fact

. >> schieffer: let me ask you this senator. we went to afghanistan in the beginning because we wanted them to deny al-qaeda a safe haven the terrorists who caused 9/11 and i think to some extent we probably have done that. but as long as they have a safe haven in pakistan, does it really matter, and i'm not saying to the afghan people, but does it really matter to the security of the united states, whether or not we're in afghanistan? >> well again the pakistanis and others will act in accordance with what they think what will transpire in the region. prior to 9/11 the united states contained terrorism on my part of the world. after 9/11 we actively went after and our strategy was to eliminate and now with president obama it's to disengage. they see us disengaging. now, i would remind, you're right exactly why we went in there. now the reason why al-qaeda was able to locate was because of the taliban control. i don't think there's any doubt that the taliban are a significant force remaining. and al-qaeda has proven to be remark

i'm not laughing at that. >> let me ask you one more time -- >> let me make a point here. let me make a point here. >> what is the difference in the ability to cause mass murder between an automatic weapon and an ar-15 with a 100-bullet magazine? explain to me. >> let's look at what happened when there was an assault weapons ban in place. there was a mass murder. it's called columbine. that happened with a .9-millimeter gun among other guns that weren't assault rifles. you can hear from democrats. many democrats are making the point that banning assault rifles won't necessarily stop these mass murders from happening. >> but you can't explain the difference in the ability to commit mass murder from a gun that is banned and an ar-15 that can fire 100 bullets in a minute? can you explain that to me? >> you pull the trigger and it shoots, as opposed to the automatic. and we, as young women wanting to defend ourselves, we want the capacity to have more bullets than your average handgun would have. so we have decided that this is something that we in defending and exercising our

>> let me ask you a question. i have the fbi statistics -- listen, that the so-called semiautos. >> when we come back, try and answer my question. >> all you are going to do is play little factoid questions. overall crime has gone up 20%. >>> back now with alex jones a man who says i should be deported for my stance on guns. here is how it's going to work. it's entirely down to you. i'm going to ask you questions. in the spirit of a proper debate. you have had a lot to say on the show, a lot of it aimed at me. >> it's not a debate. you're in the show. you have your note cards. i gave you fbi statistics that violent crime and gun crime is down over 20%. >> alex, let me ask you this -- >> you want to go to little factoids. anybody can pull those up. do you have a bodyguard? why do you have bodyguards? >> i don't have bodyguards. >> i have seen you on the news with them. why does dianne feinstein tell "60 minutes" she plans to take mr. and mrs. america's guns. you want to disarm all of america. >> no, i don't. >> dia

. >> senator smith, let me ask you about this medical condition we understand ethan has. i understand there's been some medication that's been given to him. is it the sort of condition that might be even more serious if he

the other point -- >> let me ask you this. does it like -- with the marines you select to try for the marines, right? women don't have to go in to the marines, does this combat order mean any woman who joins the army will have to go to the front? >> no. it gives them the opportunity to from what i understand, but this is the issue, the physical part of it. >> what's the problem if women are choosing to go and they can pass the physical test. >> that's the issue. >> what's the problem? >> the physical test must be the same, i haven't heard them say they're going to do that. uniform physical fitness test. the brits tried to do this they found that women, injuries to women increased 50% because we are built differently. now for the .001% that may be able to handle it, okay. should we upset the apple cart as far as military readiness in infantry units. not talking about women who are fighter pilots, good for them. women who are in combat support patrols that's fantastic, they should not -- the promotional system should change they

. >> let me ask you this, dana. for people who don't follow parliamentary procedure, i have had people ask me why can't anything just be voted on, why can't they just take that senate proposal and vote on it. i guess that's what we call an up or down vote? >> reporter: yes. this's a great question. it's a question i've had all day, are the votes there. the answer is almost surely yes, because you forget there is another party here, the minority, and the democrats, and they seem to be for the most part rallying around. they certainly will lose a chunk of democratic votes potentially, but they have enough to add democratic votes to republican votes to actually pass this. the answer to your question is it is one of the major perks of being in the majority in the house that you really do determine exactly what happens on the house floor and the speaker certainly could bring it up for a house -- an up or down vote, but then he risks a revolt among his own rank and file republicans, because they made clear in a couple mee

. >> let me ask you, how does this kill its prey? >> it will strike at it. >> don't put it near me. >> it will sit in an ambush position and strike at it and coil around it. >> you cannot believe how strong it is trying to -- it just wants you, hoda. >> concentrate.

that's, by the way, the obama -- >> but abbey, as we lost you -- abbey, let me ask you, as he was saying about your father and others, how will they have to survive? what will they have to do to get around this -- the fact that the tea party is at least there two more years in some numbers in the republican caucus? >> i think we're already seeing the tea party diminishing, which, i think, in a way, it's a good sign for the party. and you mentioned in the beginning of this segment, chris christie has a 73% reapproval rating. that just goes to show, and my dad won, as governor, with nearly 80% of the vote. it goes to show that you're not just governor of republicans. you're governing independence, democrats, yes, even liberal democrats. you can show that they're there representing the people. and the important part about this is people like chris christie and my dad are not in these big lobbying groups. lead with authenticity. unfortunately, we're not there today. but i do hope that we get there. >> quickly, let me ask you, you're one of the best political strategyists in modern times. wha

>> let me ask you a question. i have the fbi statistics -- listen, that the so-called semiautos. >> when we come back, try and answer my question. >> all you are going to do is play little factoid questions. overall crime has gone up 20%. yo, give it up, dude! up high! ok. don't you have any usefull apps on that thing? who do you think i am, quicken loans? ♪ at quicken loans, our amazingly useful mortgage calculator app allows you to quickly calculate your mortgage payment based on today's incredibly low interest rates... right from your iphone or android smartphone. one more way quicken loans is engineered to amaze. ♪ >> announcer: did you know there are secret black market websites around the world that sell stolen identities? >> 30-year-old american man, excellent credit rating. >> announcer: lifelock monitors thousands of these sites 24 hours a day. and if we discover any of our members' data for sale, lifelock is there with the most comprehensive identity theft protection available.

then let me ask i think it's city attorney john gibner, we have some amendments, is that right, for this item, or was it the next item, mr. gibner. >> deputy city attorney john gibner. i believe on this item you have written amendments, on the next item you have written aamendments and some additional amendments i'd like to make orally. >> these are not substantive ones that change the numbers and each of you has a copy of them so if there are no questions on those amendments, actually i'm just wondering if my colleagues had any comments. supervisor wiener. >> thank you. thank you, chairman mar for authoring this legislation and for all your work around second hand smoke issues. i'm very supportive of this legislation. we need to have public places where everyone is able to use those places and you don't have some people doing things that make it harder for other people to be there. i think this moves us in that direction. i do have one question for the city attorney, i think the answer is yes but i want to make sure. my reading of the definition of outdoor event, i think would include p

let me let me i want to wouldn't let me ask you a question. here on this network this women have in the bank we have our nine south facing. the previous this right to spank staying there again hearing the phrase we're being i didn't mean to talk about surveillance me. worse you are going to. my house of the day the radio guy in fort lauderdale minestrone pick up a. quote for a budget because you've never seen anything like that i'm told. welcome back well the fiscal cliff deal wasn't the only news coming out of capitol hill last night more than two months after one of the most destructive storms to ever hit the u.s. made landfall the house of representatives has yet to pass a sixty point four billion dollars hurricane sandy relief bill that the senate approved last week the house chose not to vote on the bill last night again this afternoon and fiery new york new jersey governor chris christie took one shot after another at house speaker john boehner and the house republicans for their quote toxic internal politics. for the victims to say if y

. >> and, let me ask you, though, in terms of john boehner. you know, now he's won, you didn't vote for him, but he's going to be leading your party, he's the speaker of the house. so the bill that he allowed to come to the floor, the fiscal cliff bill that is now law, that the president has signed, would you have supported the speaker and voted for that, or would you, like eric cantor, have gone against the speaker? >> i would have gone against that. you know, with what i've read. >> and then how can you then vote for john boehner -- i know you voted for eric cantor, but how can you say you're going to work with john boehner and go along with him when you totally disagreed with what he did? >> well, what we have to do is be able to stand up and willing to challenge them on the tough decisions and hopefully be a part of that decision making, to where you can say, i don't think that's the right direction or maybe the right messaging that we need to get out. and being willing to stand up and do that, i think, is more important that they know whe

let me play, as you asked me to, one of the voice mails and let our viewers judge.the person, let me use the right word, that manti was speaking to. here is one of the exchanges. >> i'm just letting you know i e-mailed you and i'm getting ready for my first session and i want to keep you posted. i miss you. i love you, bye. >> that could be a girl. it wasn't, but it could be. >> listen, i'm still not sure it's not, by the way. the whole thing seems so bizarre, but the really bizarre and scary question is what motivated the guy pulling off the hoax to do this? why, why did he do this and sustain it over a long period of time? people who do these behaviors are often people who are isolated and socially awkward and are looking for contact in some form and have no identity and feel bad about themselves. he's a football player. manti himself had a girlfriend after this girl allegedly died. >> between the quote/unquote former friends who did the hoax to manti te'o, there's got to be more there, that's what you're saying? >> i'm glad you asked the coach of what this means

let me ask you about that. when it was at 20%, didn't we enjoy a tech boom?idn't seem to drive investment away then. why would it drive investment away now if we go back to 20%. the 24% or 23.8% is on highest, highest, talking warren buffett incomes at that point? >> you know, there is lot going on in the economy at any time other than the capital-gains tax rate. i am saying that if we raise it too high, we do risk killing high-tech investment. so, you know, there is a lot of economists frankly argue that our tax rate on capital gains ought to be zero. in fact there are about a dozen high-income countries like netherlands, new zealand, mexico, have capital-gains tax rates of zero. so i think the benchmark here is zero because capital gains is so important. it actually represents double taxation. capital gains income is already taxed at the corporate level. we don't need to tax it again at the individual level. adam: forgive my tax ignorance here but i do have a question that might be important. if i'm a u.s. citizen and say i invest in another country, when i

let me ask you this hour what types of processes do police go through in order to to use this device who has to sign off on it and in order to legally use are or is it just right now a matter of on that they want somebody to sign off on it. right well in the case of the l.a.p.d. they did not specifically say whether or not a judge signed off on the use of sting ray and this whole issue is being debated in another case where f.b.i. has use stings sting ray surveillance to catch a suspected hacker but theoretically they are still supposed to get some sort of warrant or court order from judge the problem is that many times law enforcement agencies are not completely forthcoming about the full capabilities of sting ray and don't let the judge know that besides being able to gather information on a specific subject they do also have the ability to get that information from people who have cell phones or other mobile devices in the other area in the information that the l.a.p.d. did provide however they said that in the investigations where they have used seeing ray they have an ease drop

let me let me respond or don't let me ask you a question. here on this network it's one thing we have our nights out. with the previous this time to spend staying there again we're in a situation where being i don't agree to talk about surveillance. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call i don't know. i'm sorry i missed the guy who cares an awful lot of. you sir are. kind of their terrorist cells but i don't want to be wishing to feature isn't a liberal the chris point you. can securely but it's. going to spin it distracts us from what you and i should care about because there are profit driven industry that sells us and facials that garbage because that breaking news i'm abby martin and we're going to break that. that activist group anonymous has carried out some high profile cyber attacks but now the group wants an online action called distributed distributed denial of service or d.d. o. s. to be considered a legal form of protest and they are taking this request all the way to the white peti

let me ask him, let me ask him. >> and he did on the hurricane.e a way now that he can, that the president can work with the speaker and republicans on this? >> well, of course. but two things. one, barney's definition coming together is when 30 of us appeal and agree with their position. >> that is his position. >> coming together is finding common ground and common ground means that both sides have to say, you know, i'm not getting 100% of what i want. this scenario is, you get most of what you want and a few republicans are shamed into crossing the line. let's take the debt limit discussion, for instance. the president won the election and all about taxes and he got his taxes. $60 billion a year and runs the government for five days. he has to challenge his party on spending, which he has not been willing to do. >> first of all, we're not talking about 30, we had 85 votes. it doesn't help if you caricature. the fiscal cliff a deal/deal and joe biden. we got less than we wanted. i would have liked to have based taxes on people making $300,000 a
