mark.ely. it is a mean-spirited public policy that is also likely unconstitutional. any time you imbue with a state authority a power in the federal goth that's a major problem. it is ugly, vile, and i think unconstitutional. >> ugly, vile, vicious, this is not an argument. ugly, violent, vicious. you know what is really ugly is when the federal government and our chief law enforcement officer, which is ultimately what the president is, refuses, really, larry, to enforce federal laws that are on the books right now that have not been repealed to -- that you have to carry your i.d. if you're an alien live in this country, if you're a permanent resident, alien, student visa, federal law requires you to carry your documents, okay? you are not supposed to be here illegally. if you are you need to leave. if you are here illegally, some trying to work, you are here illegally. you can sugarcoat it, say it is mean, you can say it's vile, but that means you think the laws are vile. repeal the laws o

mark?a time. >> laura, you pointed -- laura pointed to the election of a black president as white supremacy no longer lingers. >> i never said that. >> even if you want to focus just on public policy, any measure of social prosperity, black people are at the bottom of it. any measure of social misery, black people are at the top of it. president obama is not the first president to link -- president bush ushered in that no child left behind policy, he was talking about the difference between blacks and whites. they want to be post racist. that's what we're fighting for. >> you said a lot of things there. the number one thing, i think, as americans is that we really want to get beyond the hyphenated america. i do. i'm half polish, irish. we want to get beyond that. the country is yearning, larry and mark, for authenticity and want someone to come forward and offer real solutions for the black community, latino community, white community, the american community. forget the color of your skin.

go ahead jump in there go ahead mark what i say i just want to say that. i'm going to be in let's go ahead. yeah this whole climate gate business i mean it does add fuel to the conspiracy theory fires that you hear from the climate change denial side but the fact is that if anyone's private emails were scattered all over the internet it would be embarrassing there are things that were said in private which i don't think showed climate science in the greatest light but the fact is it doesn't change any of the basics of what we understand about the way the climate works in the way we understand about the effects of greenhouse gases you can pretend the risks don't exist you can pretend that they're always going to stay the same you can pretend that burning fossil fuel has no interest has no effect rather but as i say that's just sticking your head in the sand if you've got that knowledge if you think you've got already you've also got to let me just finish up let me finish up if you think you've got our attention to all the other great you go do you go down t

to go ahead mark go ahead and jump in. well it which it was just to make the point actually that we're talking about averaging out weather here so rather than looking at different events and saying believes reflects something or they don't you have to look at longer term changes and there's less and less cold events and there's more and more hot events and that shows that the baseline is changing and the reason for this is basic physics i mean climate deniers like problem over there may may try and go against the rules of physics but the rest of us have to live by them and the fact is that if you put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere principally carbon dioxide the system of the earth system the climate will heat up there's no way you can deny that it's provable in the burra tree the question is how much will heat up on by and by and by when and that's where the scientific uncertainties are but we're running a huge risk with our children's future and with our own future if we continue to dump these pollutants into t

you are lucky i'm reappointing mark, phil, who is doing a great job and i'm very excited about what mark has done already just in the few months he has been on this board. but no one is more familiar with city hall and no one with more respect, even from those that sometimes don't always respect what is happening on this side of the aisle and have come to respect greatly mark's leadership and stewardship. thank you for continuing to want to serve. >> kevin, p.u.c., revenue bond oversight. this is where real jobs are being created. 27,000 jobs. regional project and we need to spend the money wisely and that is what kevin has been doing in other capacities and will be doing in it. and beca in be a -- in absentia she want as private swearing in. i know this was long-winded but i'm honored and proud of all of you and i will ask you all to raise your right hand. you can stand if you wish for the heck of it but you don't have to. but if you like to, it just adds to the formal occasion. i will ask you to repeat after me and what i will do, i will say i, then i will ask you to state your name. t

discuss what's happening to the weather i'm joined by mark linus and oxford he's an environmentalist and climate change author in new york we have alexander ox director of world watches institute climate and energy program and in los angeles we crossed a phelim mcaleer he's a journalist and documentary filmmaker and another member of our cross talk team in the hunt all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want mark and i to go to you in oxford first what the hell is going on with the weather and i say that with a great deal of passion because moscow is baking this is russia it shouldn't be happening here at least that's what i always believed why are we having such high temperatures around the world in places which you would never expect it. well first up you've got to distinguish between weather and climate ok if we're going to look at whether we're experiencing climate change and global warming you need to bear that in mind the climate is the average of weather over a longer period so with the heat waves that we're seeing these are reflec

>> i think when i first heard about mark williams, i honestly thought mark williams who?ant to get all catty. i think this dude is a legend in his own mind. why all this attention is being given to like one person? he's never represented an entire movement. he is, i think, to himself perhaps, he thought he did. but never to me. never to anybody that i know. and i just think that he says a lot of what he -- i he think says a lot of what he says for attention, honestly. >> larry: mark, was it correct to remove them and kind of expel them? >> absolutely, it was. this was one of the few responsible moves that comes from the tea party with regard to issues of race. it's easy to dismiss him as just one irresponsible wayward member when in fact, we've heard these comments repeatedly. when you go to tea party rallies you hear the exact same remarks. i'm glad to hear one person has been removed. what i'd like to see is an statement repudiating the racist wing of the party. that's a step forward. >> larry: michael, here's some of what williams' wrote in his blog. a fictional letter

right, mark? the internet is incredibly valuable in terms of the information that provides access to unlimited resources and with free trade, commerce and opinion and speech, there are people who will take advantage of opportunities and perpetuate some of the less fortunate sides of our society and our approach again is to reward when people do things in an accurate way, make sure that the portrayal is being recognized, so that ultimately somebody would never think of portraying someone in recovery sitting, you know, under a bridge and/or someone who has an addiction because that would be, you know, just not the cool way to do it. and so one step at a time, one program at a time, one writer at a time is the way we eventually will turn this around. doug, why should these industries care as to how they portray this issue? in the long term, it's in their best interest. i mean, i think you can look at some recent examples of global corporations recognizing that working in the public health interest is

so, who is mark zuckerberg? diane sawyer went to facebook's headquarters to find out what makes the 26-year-old ceo tick. >> reporter: 500 million. that's the mind boggling number of users facebook hit this week. to give you an idea of how many people that is, it's the population of the united states, japan and germany combined. hard to believe that the i illusi illusive, very young ceo, mark zuckerberg, founded facebook only six years ago. this a milestone for you, though? when you were dreaming, can we get to 80 million -- >> it's definitely pretty surreal. >> reporter: if it keeps growing at its current rate, by 2013, every single person in the world who is online will be on facebook. case in point? >> you might be our 500 million pth user. >> i know. i know. you didn't know that i'd be the one to do it. >> who would have figured? we never would have gotten there without you. >> you were out there thinking, i've got all these, who possibly -- >> diane sawyer. >> oh, you're facebook friends. >> well, so, are y

i would just add to what mark said. i think it is too bad that the congress didn't really go for the jobs tax credit. new jobs tax credit. it went for it in a have very small way. that could have and should have been done on a bigger scale, i think. because it is very pointed on job creation. the basic approach to fiscal stimulus is, you know, it's like the field of dreams. give me more g.d.p., and the jobs will come. and that's true. but there are also things you can do that are targeted more tightly on creating jobs. and we haven't done much of that. >> suzanne: how about some specifics? what types of things would you like to see? >> i have advocated to things: a credit for increasing your payroll. a tax credit. so it could be, for example, a payroll tax credit. when i say i have, so have a lot of other people. and i advocated a small scale direct public employment. if we had spent, ballpark, $30 million on each -- that sounds like a lot of money, but $60 billion compared to a trillion of stimulus is not very great.

now mark zandi, let me start with you on this. why does it matter. why did you look back and why does it matter to us now in terms of where we are now. >> it is vital. because if we don't get a better understanding of what we went through and how we responded in success of that, we can't page good policy going forward. we can't have a reasonable debate about whether we should extend emergency unemployment insurance benefits. we can't have a debate, a good debate about should we give more help to the hard-pressed state governments. i mean if john is saying that those things didn't matter than we're not going do those things and i would consider that to be inappropriate policy in the context of where we are today so this is a very important discussion that we need to get some clarity around. >> is that what you are saying professor taylor. >> it certainly is vital and it is important. and of course the conclusion that i come to, and there is difference of opinion. i think people should recognize the difference of opinion. what i come to is that these h

mark, let's go back and start specifically now with methadone. what is methadone, and is it the most widely used medication-assisted therapy? this medication was developed in the 1940s, but first used in the united states during the 1950s as a means of withdrawing federal inmates who happened to be in jail. and they found later on through subsequent studies this was an excellent medication to maintain an individual on. and this was through the rockefeller university studies in the 1960s. it then got very widely promulgated as an effective medicine to treat addiction, narcotic addiction in particular. it does one thing particularly well, and there is an enormous scientific studies and history about the values of this medication. it's a medication. it's combined with other treatment resources to holistically respond to an individual patient's needs. and the whole mark of treatment when it's effectively administered tends to these broad range of the needs of the individual patient. it is effective and it is safe when it's in the hands of knowledgeab

and mark, why is it important for the media to really understand addiction, treatment, and behavioral health? i think as doug just said, it's 24/7, people rely on the media to get their information and, as the media reaching out, people are forming opinions, ideas, attitudes about what they think about addiction and mental illness based on what they're seeing on these tv shows or seeing on the internet or hearing on the radio. so if what they hear is accurate, they'll be forming accurate opinions and able to help themselves or help other people who are dealing with these issues. if they hear inaccurate information, it proliferates stigma, the discrimination, and all the unfortunate circumstances people with addictions or mental illness find themselves in as a result of miscommunication. so sandra, they definitely do play a role in helping people shape their understanding about issues, particularly addiction and behavioral health? they really do that and, as mark said, actually nearly two-thirds of regular viewers of television report learning something new about a disease or how to pr
