guest: >> that is a lot of concern for a lot of customers. if you stretched out along much longer, you'll end up owing much more and a car than it is worth. -- on a car than it is worth. i think a lot people have somehow been able to finesse it by being comforted in the idea the taken hold on to that car much longer. the average new-car lasts a lot longer, a lot more durable than in the past. the real issue becomes when you get into used vehicles, whether it is a smart idea to have a much longer-term on a used car that is going to be worth a lot less. the average new car sells for about $30,000. it is something of a luxury purchase. host: of the beach, florida, republican. -- p ompano beach, florida, republican. caller: i came out of that industry 37 years to. -- ago. fewer standards are being imposed by our government by 2020, we're talking well into the 50 mile per gallon fleet requirement. i look upon our government as imposing these regulations on industry as opposed to foreign economies, like in japan. the government gets behind the auto

a lot of people were making a lot of money, and i think a lot of these women love the money and they didn't care if their husbands were doping because you could afford the louis vuitton and the cartier sunglasses. so i have a problem with that, a big, big, big problem with that because i never blogged about morality. i never blogged about doing the right thing. i tried to walk the talk, and we see what -- we see what happened, so i'm not so sure i i mean, i have a real problem, and i don't want to -- it couldn't have been easy to be married to lance, not at all. she distributed drugs. i mean, dan wrote that she distributed drugs for lance, and i have a huge problem with -- a huge problem with that because i really think a lot of these women, they love the lifestyle because in europe cycling is completely different than it is in the united states, and obviously lance and kristin were making a lot of money. a lot of people were making a lot of money, and i think a lot of these women love the money and they didn't care if their husbands were doping because you could afford the louis vui

facebook is a different story in a lot of ways. there's a lot of hope in that name. for technical reasons, that stock was beleaguered by overhang last year. now we don't see the overhang for a while, at least in the same quantity. so a lot of guys are coming out of apple into facebook. they see an entire year to make some money in a name that may have a lot of revenue leverage. >> i think it's hard with all of the names we were looking at, hard to make a strong fundamental case. facebook on a valuation basis. hewlett and dell, because of their ongoing business model. i think it's troubling. when you have stocks like hewlett beaten like they were, a lot of times you'll see them bounce hard and far off the bottom. so we saw a lot of call buy income hewlett this week. as a result of that, people are speculating it's a leveraged upside bet. >> going to carter again just to get a view on where technology is. what do you see in the charts there? >> the issue with technology because it's burdened by its largest cap components. microsoft, intel. the roadblock problem with th

a lot of times, it was like this.a guy would buy a couple of lots and essentially build two houses and tried to sell them. or live in one. they did that all the way up to the 1940's. one of the last parcels a friend of mine lived on on 28 and cabrilla, which used to be a garbage dump, and in the 1940's, they build it over with sand -- they have lots of that lying around. >> this is parker studio boulevard in the richmond

we fixed a lot of things. we fixed a lot of gps coordinates. we would love the ability to post that back up * . even if you're not crowd sourcing new things, you can definitely crowd source quality of a data set that way. >> yeah, it's been a really great experience working with 100 plus and motion loft. just to respond, i think that this is a whole new opportunity actually what you're talking about. in addition to reaching out to the private sector to generate more data sets as you just mentioned, there's also the opportunity to have better data sets from the work that you've done, scrubbing them and harmonizing them. i think there is also this really great opportunity to generate whole new types of data sets like motion loft is doing. and i think that this is going to present something kind of back to the city, showing where some of our gaps are and hopefully filling in some of those gaps with those data sets. so, i think that there is something about having more city data sets, existing data sets as well as creating new types of data. this i

where a lot of these big monuments, a lot of these tourist attractions are.ow could that happen when 15% every dollar they spend is spent in and around washington. >> that's a great question, sean. that's the irony here. you would think that if the vision had any place it would be washington, d.c. had all this money pouring. in in washington, d.c. really what matters in a lot of cases is connections, relationships, and if you are not in that closed circle, you are not going to get access to the funds. >> sean: you would think that these people that have a monopoly on compassion, steve would just look around them in some of these neighborhoods. i have been to many of them and they are struggling and people are starving and their kids need food stamps to feed themselves. >> it's unacceptable. also, if you look at that statistic that we had on the screen that the top 20% or top 5% is making $475,000 a year. i mean, of all the 50 wealthest cities in the country, it's the top as far as that concentration of wealth. so i think that compassion is all happy talk. i t

that's a lot. >> it's a lot that's going on, and where have they got? i mean, so the state prison may be capped or at least the population is lower, but they've gone to the county and counties are saying that they are overburdened and cannot handle it. >> and this is under the public safety realignment plan which was part of the governor's initiative, and a lot of those inmates have been diverted, people who would have gone to state prison are now in county jails. there is -- he's got to negotiate those politics. the counties are feeling overburdened now with these offe offenders, and, you know, they've got to figure that out. one thing the state's worried about right now is the inmate population decline has stopped. that is it's flat right now. the projections are that the population is going to increase by perhaps a couple of thousand in the coming years. >> and based on what? why are they saying that? >> based on the projections. they do projections twice a year, and they look at it pretty closely. and that's what the state's anticipating. one argume

we fixed a lot of things. we fixed a lot of gps coordinates. we would love the ability to post that back up * . even if you're not crowd sourcing new things, you can definitely crowd source quality of a data set that way. >> yeah, it's been a really great experience working with 100 plus and motion loft. just to respond, i think that this is a whole new opportunity actually what you're talking about. in addition to reaching out to the private sector to generate more data sets as you just mentioned, there's also the opportunity to have better data sets from the work that you've done, scrubbing them and harmonizing them. i think there is also this really great opportunity to generate whne

wow, that's a lot of shrimp. stewart, i'm the ultimate shrimp lover, and i sea food differently. >>> finally tonight, more child's play over at fox news. for months, they've been obsessed with hollywood's so called liberal agenda. and no one has escaped criticism. not even creatures who live in pineapples under the sea. >> sponge bob is talking about global warming and he's only looking at it from one point of view. >> clearly, nickelodeon is pushing a global warming agenda. >> oh, yeah, clearly, that sponge has an agenda. the truth is the rights uncovered a liberal agenda in just about every movie.

you had wal-mart workers going out on on on strike you know a lot of walking out in a lot of places all over the country and the ideas definitely caught fire and it really does seem like at the time is now globally i mean i think a lot of people around the world are realizing that this is this current form of predatory capitalism imperialism is unsustainable it's a crash course but let's talk about just the system as a whole i mean do you think that even fighting for single issues war health care education i mean do these struggles do these fights go far enough or is it crucial and your eyes to fight the entire system at its core i mean is there any way we can reform the system or do we need a straight up revolution. in the end result we need. a whole new system. we need a system and how i explain it to people is that we need to we need a system where the people democratically controlled the wealth that they create with their labor. you can call that communism socialism you can call it an hour close socialism you call it i don't care but we need something where the people have more demo

but a lot of measures suggest it's a lot worse than that.ost important, we have 4 million who've been out of work for more than a year, which is unprecedented since the 1930s. >> yeah, you write that we are in a depression that is essentially gratuitous. we don't need to be suffering so much pain and destroying so many lives. >> gratuitous in the sense that there's nothing, the only obstacles to putting people to work, to having those lives restored, to producing hundreds of billions, probably 900 billion a year or so of extra valuable stuff in our economy, is in our minds. if i could somehow convince the members of congress and the usual suspects that deficit spending, for the time being, is okay, and that what we really need is a big job creation program. and let's worry about the deficit after we've had a solid recovery, it would all be over. it would be no problem at all, which is what, that's the lesson of 1940, 1941. >> which is? >> you can find all kinds of people explaining what was fundamentally wrong with the u.s. economy in 1940,

>> it takes a lot of r&d to create that. we're spending a lot on that. what we try to do is deliver all these innovations to the entire industry and that's yet license business is so good. we have 220 companies we have licenses with glgz gl in addition to what we talked about in terms of sensors on your body that will tell you what you should do, where else? jeff emmel was here, and everybody's looking at how to collect and analyze data. i mean, there's a wave of the future that's it. >> absolutely. so there's going to be hundreds of millions of sensors and connected devices in the world around us. >> rose: looking at everything and taking the temperature of everything and reporting back to a big brain which will assess it. >> it will report back to your phone. >> rose: which is a big brain. >> that is true. they're getting bigger and bigger for sure. what i think is going to happen is the phone is going to be this thing that merges kind of cyberspace around us and physical space. i'll walk into an environment and there might be content available, say a

>> it's a lot more fun. you can make a lot more choices.n you say sober, i'm never a guy who worked loaded because doing a sitcom is so specific, like a big dance, it has a very specific metronome on it, so it's the detail work, it was very difficult. you can't find it if you're fogged. >> do you still party much? >> not as much as i used to. >> you haven't completely given up. >> i don't do as many drugs. i'm 47. i don't know -- >> i'm the same age. >> okay, yeah. we have to start thinking about the second half. >> i'm really disappointed you actually look better than me. >> that's not true, come on. >> charlie sheen looks younger. >> you're very kind. as far as -- yeah, i was hung over, and i think that can slow down the choices that one can make. >> i always wondered if that makes a difference. in movies or tv shows, unless this role you're playing is some male model -- >> have to look perfect all the time. >> you're a womanizing party boy, why would being hung over be brand damaging? >> it shouldn't be. but when it's run by aa nazis, it

know unfortunately i for there's a lot of good things here that is. advertising of howard how it should be how it should be accepted by its own p.r. under its own p.r. job well it's a little bad on the north thing first we're going to be going to a country or its own population because you. know younger people can see during the day to see the smoke from you know just something to go. book was if you take the whole site would you consider it a sudden release of the show hold heat with like you know what kind of. i don't know cost me go. maybe you know you know barely. believe forty one was good enough you got a little bit slow. but definitely this is not enough for a country which tries to position itself as a great power you know that the soviet union has been gone for a quarter century and right now i mean the. kind of technologies and ideas about branding and p.r. out there ok why aren't they employed more here well you know i think that of course. the bread is something which is difficult to change if not the better of the perception if people thi

it looks a lot different you don't find a whole lot plants that looks like this. here's a great plant. this is a colonsure but i inserted this plant before. you can use it inside the house as a house plant. we're going to actually use it outside in and under the patio cover or you can plant it the flower bed as well. in the south where they have temperate climates it'll stay there from year, to year, to year and you can share cuttings with your neighbors or your family. this particular one is unusual because it has a double bloom. it's failry new on the market. this plant's called an aspidistra. this can be used inside as a house plant in a real bright area or it can be used outside out in the shade. it's a great plant. this is what you get, you don't get any blooms from it. you get this nice green, white strappy leafy in the landscape it looks beautiful. it's a nice contrast like we talked about before. the common name's is a cast iron plant. now with a name like that how can it not be easier to grow. now while these are heartier than most eddie says no plant can

two -- is it two or three, two editions plus the one we're working on right now which will update a lot of that on our website in particular, we're planning to unveil some exciting stuff in the next year, and with that, we try to connect the dots between the environmental exposures and breast cancer, we look at the peer reviewed literature, all of that rich scientific stuff and janet gray turns that into information that we can all read at various levels, and from there, we kind of translate it into presentations like this one, into policy needs and into tips on our website so we use that scientific foundation to do a lot of different things. i want to talk always about some of the themes that emerge pr the literature because that helps us understand why we're concerned about the particular chemicals which we are concerned, so some particular themes emerge in the literature that come up again and again across a number of different chemicals and the first of that is that early life exposures and exposures at other developmental periods are really important, so timing is as we're learning

you know, a lot of it is random.l tell you, really you just can't worry about if people are gonna like it or not because you never know. you literally never know. i mean, i feel that sometimes there's pressure on people to -- you know, you got to change and stay current and get on with this hipster trend. but honestly, like who wants that? i mean, nobody wants someone who's jumping on another trend. i think people respond to anyone who's being authentic regardless of what, you know, the production influences or the songwriting style influences or whatever it is, you know, whatever that stuff is. tavis: you've opened up a nice door that i want to go into now. how much of you making the decision back in the day to go the independent route, how much has that aided and abetted in being able to actualize the belief that you just expressed? >> it's huge, it's huge, because you don't have to expend any energy on trying to hear with somebody else's ears, you know. i'll tell you, that is the worst feeling because it's corrosi

a lot of movement, a lot of chords.'s, you know, was a love song through sort of a number of different people. and often also love song are written to an ideal person that you haven't found yet. so the person really that i wrote it about, i was to meet some -- >> rose: it's -- >> that's the other amazing -- >> rose: thinking of something that would eventually come to you. >> that's it. >> rose: i can imagine this relationship between the two of you. i never is an you so, you've been with her since you met her. >> it's really true. i fell when we met that i met her before, that i've known her in a prior lifetime, it really felt that way. like we were getting back together. one of the reasons why we hoist our flag and make as much noise and as much of ourselves as we can, one reason is to try to become immortal and deal with the constant question of death. but the other reason is to find our partner. we are meant to have a partner in this life, most of us are. and you know, it just became a reasonable probability that she

that is not a lot. they would still be lending to a lot people. right now, the average score of somebody with a private student loan is around 787. it will not make it that much worse. the private student loans already are not being lent to high-risk individuals. there needs to be some sanity in the system. you should not be lending $57,000, which is the aggregate limit for an independent student, for somebody getting a certificate or associate's degree. there is absolutely no way that individual is going to be able to pay that back. what we should be doing everyone that individual to still pursue that education, we should be giving them more money in the form of grants and not in the form of loans. there needs to be in balance. you need to have rational loan limits, but you also need to have much more government grant investment in our greatest resource, which is our people. >> a couple of quick things about bankruptcy. first, student loans can be discharged in bankruptcy, it is just extremely difficult. there are parts of systems -- one point. -

and i think facebook has got a lot of proving to do. there is a little bit more optimism now building. we are going to see if they can execute on their mobile platform and see how their advertising revenue is doing. i think right now if you bought facebook at $20, you would probably be looking to sell it at $30. if you bought it at $35, you know, i think you can hold on a little bit longer. i do believe there is some upside. but please, be careful, and realize, this is going to be a volatile stock, and they still are a big the evolving story that does not have a lot of definitive answers at this moment. > jared, always good to have you on the show. thank you. > > thanks angie. in our cover story, the boeing 787 dreamliner is causing some lost sleep. three separate malfunctions in three days has some investors concerned that the continuing pattern of glitches may lead federal aviation officials to take action. three 787 incidents in three days - wednesday in japan, a 787 on-board computer erroneously indicates problems with the aircraft'

it was a lot best call. people recognized that they figured out a way to do acquisitions, buy back stock, do a good dividend and make a lot of money. >> the bears countered today, how long do you sustain relatively flat revenues. >> right. >> with bookings that are showing snamaller and smaller growth year over year. >> the answer is, you won't have to sustain them because they're going to go higher. i was gratified by ibm's call. by the way, jim was not on the call. i also like that level of confidence, frankly. but this was a terrific, terrific layout of what they're doing right. social clout, selling some hardware, new products coming out. i said, why is that stock going up? sales were light. the answer is, because they are making fortunes. >> i think the question this morning is on valuation. i know isi's brian marshal said, what do you pay for a mature company with minimal revenue growth that promises about 10% eps growth. he came to the conclusion that around 190 it's fairly valued. which is below wher

they had a lot of strength. it is probably a personality trait i have had throughout my life. >> where did you go to college? >> cambridge university. a product of public schools all the way through. a public-school education served me well. it saddens me because i think it is basic to what america is about to give everybody a basic shot and have an opportunity. it starts with public education. christ, and the total years have you worked in government? >> a lot. since 1981, really. i was a civil rights attorney. i dealt with gender discrimination. a disability rights law had just come into law not long before i had joined. that was very good experience that led to my next government job with bob dole, 1981. turned republicans. . at the top of the list was the boldest -- voters rights. he wanted to make sure he was a player. it was a good fit. >> did you agree with him in most things? >> i did. people tend to identify me with the progressive camp. i hate labels. i thave taken strong stances. i am a conservative i

investment banks look a lot different than commercial banks, a lot of different things going on in theectors so you didn't even have people at the table who really had a sense of what was going on at the economy so i would feel much more comfortable if we take banking regulation and give it to the bank regulators because ultimately i think a lot of the bailouts were about the mistakes made the new york fed, mistakes made at the fed board and they were using bailouts to cover up their own mistakes. aig, all of these cdss were done because the bank approved of cds to create bank capital. they create that had mistake. we can argue whether or not they would have foreseen it or not. i think when you have these things tied together you end up having the fed try to cover up its own mistakes. >> interesting. steve, what's your take on mark's concerns, and we should point out that a handful of leaders at the new york fed later became goldman sachs leaders, right? >> well, what mark is saying, maria, is accurate in the sense that it does show failings at the fed. the trouble is it also shows the

i would have had a lot more people here. sorry about that, but the next time we do this, which i know this won't be last one, it will be go. what i wanted to say is having access -- she was talking about the internet -- having cable or something at a reasonable price. we have people with disabilities and seniors just siting this their house just looking at wall because they cannot afford cable or a telephone. those are two necessary things that we need in life, period. if you are disabled, you definitely need a phone in case there is an emergency and you have to call someone. and then i would say cable, because you need to see the news, to see with a what is happening outside of your doors or outside your home. those are key things tme that just needs to be looked at. i don't know how it's going happen, but those are key. i wanted to say one more thing, but i will go with that. thank you. >> thank you, id ell. i would just like to thank everyone who came out today to participate. and i want to thank everyone who came from th

those districts and lots need to be updated. what we do is we handle licensing, education, and enforcement. we are liaison to the abc, as well as public health and the entertainment commission. last year we handled 637 licensing investigations, 385 involving premises conditions with no additional actions, 25 denials, and miscellaneous. we also conducted 28 minor decoy operations that involved 416 premises and 16 arrests. we did 20 impact subscriptions to see if they were handling the rules of procedure. for instance, the 47 that mr. allen brought up is something that we will go out and see. are they serving food at the bar or restaurant? generally, the license belongs to abc, however, i agree with the director of apple smith. it goes along with our input. we work really well hand in hand. with most of the speakers today, i feel i have worked very well with them. very flexible. in that case by case situation, personally i do not agree with the 50/50 rule. a $400 bottle of wine is in excess. we do go out with enforcement. one of t

about economic issues policies also that don't work there are many that say that cameron was under a lot of pressure to make this speech you think indeed the words you had to say was a result of pressure on him or something else. well undoubtedly i would say because for many months now there have been a growing number of euro skeptics within his own tory party they are demanding that the conservatives do try and renegotiate their deals with the view and renegotiate their relationship secondly he is in between a rock and a hard place because he's in a coalition government at the moment with the liberals who are against this stance so what you see today is a man who is trying to appease those euro skeptics within his own party but maybe he's weaving a very clever political path because he is saying that i will make this my election pledge so we are banking on this to win the next election for the conservatives within the joran if that happens then we can hold this referendum so i think he's trying to please those people who have. been annoyed with his european stance within his own party b

we do a lot of tree plantings. all of you must intuitively go, "of course it's good to plant trees," of course, i want to put a rain barrel on my house." but is there a measurable environmental impact? trees are going to take up a lot of stormwater over time and are kind of a long-term green investment. we've had more than 200 volunteers come out planting street trees. we need people to make active changes on their property. and to reduce the amount of flow that's going into the combined sewer lines, we're trying to install 4,000 rain barrels. narrator: homeowners can disconnect roof gutter downspouts from the sewer system and divert the stormwater into a rain barrel. schombert: the rain water then can be used to water lawns and gardens and infiltrate back in the ground slowly, rather than being piped to a creek where it disappears moments after the storm's over. it's being held within the watershed and it helps regenerate ground water and stream flows. hecht: that's what we're going to do this afternoon is think a

he said there were a lot of a lot of good axioms then that, but the structure was weak and he suggested making it into a calendar. [laughter] i rejected the waste land by eliot. i did 18 tavener chorus and the last couple as i know this is a blow, tom. not to worry. you're still the greatest poet from missouri. [laughter] how faint that raises. the other poet from missouri is me. and sometimes i save it t.s. eliot and i are at the missouri school of poetry. [laughter] we do have differences. i'm from kansas city, which during my entire childhood was known as the gateway to the west. and he was from st. louis, which cut the government to build a big gateway arch and started calling itself the gateway to the west. i didn't really blame them. and for that they were not as mound citycamorra service to to depression, mound of work? so you can't blame them really, although we don't agree it is the gateway to the west. we think of st. louis is the exit from the east. [laughter] there's some similarities between t.s. eliot and me. we both use foreign language in our poetry. he tends to use sans

there's an awful lot of good and an awful lot that's disappointing. it's so complex to take one narrow part would be incorrect. >> your strategy was counterinsurgency strategy and it was protect the population, build up confidence in local governments, in the central government as well, extend the power of the central government out to localities where it hadn't been traditionally and go after the taliban, defeat the taliban, not just degrade them, defeat them. that's not the strategy anymore. it's now just defeat al qaeda or limit al qaeda and build up security forces. is that -- i don't hear people talking about winning these days. >> when i was in iraq particularly with special operations, i was in charge of a very kinetic part of the operation against al qaeda and iraq. >> a lot of your book focusses on the battle in there and it's fascinating. >> when i got to afghanistan, i realized that the taliban is not this national liberation front, it's not something there are people waiting to have the taliban come rescue them. they're extraordinarily unp

jack lew has been around a lot.ry long resume, particularly on the fiscal side of public service. and i don't think he is going to have much of a fight. i think when it gets to a vote, jack lew becomes the next treasury secretary. ly get a rough going over by republicans? i think so some very famous passages in a recent book by bob woodward where john boehner talks about how he wanted jack lew out of the room because he saw him as an obstructionist. there are a lot of people who say that jack lew is the reason the big deal between baner and the president fell apart, lots of versions of that story, i should ad there are some republicans who think that jack lew is not a consensus builder. that as treasury secretary, he will be looking to stiff-arm republicans as opposed to work with him. you will hear a lot of that but i don't see anything now that says, oh oh, jack lew is in trouble. >> the president has been getting a lot of flack, i was going to say some, but it's been a lot, for not really having a particularly di

>> it's a lot more fun. yeah. you can make a lot more choices. and when you say sober, i'm never a guy that worked loaded because doing a sitcom is so specific. it's like a big dance that has a very specific metronome on it. the detail of work is very difficult and you can't find it if you're fogged, you know? >> do you still party much? >> not as much as you used to? >> you haven't given it totally up. >> smoke a little pot, drink a little. i'm 47. >> same age as me. i'm disappointed that you look younger than me. >> you're very kind, very kind. but as far as -- but when i say i wasn't high on the set, i was hungover like a bastard. i think that can slow down the choices that one can make. >> i always wondered if that makes any difference. in movies, in tv shows, in this role you're playing some male model. a womanizing party boy, why would looking hungover by brand damaging? it shouldn't be. but when the show is run by aa nazis, that brings on a different light. >> have you gotten on with chuck lorie since then? >> still haven't spoken to him.

>> well, i think there's been a lot of stock bought in the last few years, a lot of dividends have been paid. and upped. i think we've been focused, many people focus on the top line not being that good. and should have been more focused on the bottom line. i've got to tell you, i think the top line is about to be good. i think you'll start seeing the numbers really come through. we are so lean, our companies are so lean, there's been so much firing, so much supply chain help, i believe in the move. really exhibit a is caterpillar. >> "usa today," getting made fun of in some circles, but front page, the words rational exuberance in the words of some money managers. exactly what jim's saying. the market does not yet understand how efficient these american companies are. >> this has been a love affair, of course, that has taken some bad turns in the past. and people's memories are not that short. but on the flip side of this, of course, is this incredible bull market in bonds that we've been following for, i don't know how many years. depends where you want to date it from. as we enter an
