don't misunderstand me. there were insiders who were trying to do the same thing but there were not enough of them to form a critical mass. i remember i said privately, not publicly, gm and the uaw are going to join hands and jump off the cliff together and that happened in a rather spectacular fashion. we have a lot of great questions from the audience. let me ask a few of those before we talk about what you have been giving before leaving michigan and other places. you know, you talk -- i want to begin with this question because i just love it so much to the utah about what of is like to ride in the car with your dad, who wasn't a very good driver. what was the sunday drive like? >> my father was a notoriously terrible driver. he and my mother both would go down to trenton and then putting a 5-dollar bill in a cigarette case and offering a cigarette to the top and a loaf of driver's licenses. but that doesn't mean that they learned to drive. i remember it wasn't just the sunday afternoon but i would drive

i think there is a little bit of a misunderstanding. >> sure. let me pull out the board's rules of orders on that. the board rule 3.25.2, provides that the government audit and oversight committee handles labor agreements, civil grand jury reports, audits of city departments and agencies, oversees management audits, audit schedules, approval of audit schedules and it's a fiscal committee and the items on today's agenda were properly referred to this committee by the president. >> thank you. there was a motion by supervisor tang and seconded by supervisor campos and seeing there is no objection, that item passes. madame clerk, any other items on the calendar. >> there are no further items. >> fantastic, this meeting is adjourned. thank you everyone.

and don't misunderstand me, there were insiders who were trying to do the same thing but there weren't enough of them to form a critical mass. and i remember i got so frustrated that i left. and i said privately, not publicly obviously, gm and -- are going to join hands and jump off the cliff together and of course that happened in a rather spectacular -- >> we all became shareholders. we have a lot of great questions from the audience so let me ask a few of those before we talk about what you've been you been doing since you left gm in michigan and other places. i want to begin with this question because i just love it so much. you talk about what it was like to ride in the car with your dad who was not a very good driver. what was the sunday drive like with your father? >> well, my father was a notoriously terrible driver. he and my mother both god driver's licenses i going down to trenton and taking the drivers test and then putting up a 5-dollar bill and a cigarette case and offering a cigarette to the cop. they both god driver's licenses but that doesn't mean they learn to drive.

don't misunderstand me, there were insiders who were trying to do the same thing, but there wasn't enough of them to form a critical mass. and i remember i finally got so frustrated that i left, and i said privately not publicly, obviously, you know, gm and the be uaw are going to join hands and jump off the cliff together and, of course, that happened in a rather spectacular fashion. .. with your father? >> well, my father was a notoriously terrible driver. he and my mother both got driver's licenses by going down to trenton and taking a drivers test and then putting a 5-dollar bill in a cigarette case and offering a cigarette to the top. [laughter] they both got driver's licenses, but that doesn't mean they learned to drive. and i still remember, it wasn't just the sunday afternoon, but i did once drive across the country with my father from princeton to santa barbara, where he left a stepmother amy while he went off for a test. i loved it because i had his chance, you know, unbroken time with my father. but even though i was only 11, i had enough sense to be frightened for my life.

i'm not -- please don't misunderstand me. i am not in any way denying the importance of fiscal responsibility. i just think it's not the best way to go about it to focus entirely on the short term and ignore the long term. >> i would agree with you on that point. one of the problems in this town is that we see the long-term implications of the course that we're on. you're well aware of the politics in these two chambers and with the white house and you've seen our side. i think aggressively talk about the long-term implications of our aging population and the impact on medicare. i think you'd agree that's the driver of our debt. >> spending costs and aging is important. >> what program does that come from? >> medicare and medicaid. >> you know on our side of the aisle we're trying to actually reform it and make it sustainable. one of the frustrations is we're ot able to get buy-in with others to actually join us in the effort. there's one thing to say, listen, i don't like the republicans' plan but then the other side has to

please don't misunderstand me -- i am not in any way denying the importance of fiscal responsibility. i just think it is not the best way to go about it to focus entirely on the short and ignore the long-term. >> and i would agree with you on that point. one of the problems in this town is that we see the long-term implications of the course that we are on. well aware of these politics in these two chambers in the white house. you have seen our side. theessively talk about long-term implications of our aging populations and the impact on medicare, and that is the driver of our debt. you do agree with that, right? >> on the spending side, health- care costs and aging are important. >> what program does that spending come from? >> medicare and medicaid. >> so you know on our side of the aisle, we are trying to reform it and make it sustainable. one of the frustrations is we in with able to get buy- others to join us in that effort. it is wanting to say -- listen, i do not like the republican's plan, but then the other side has to put up a a plan that makes it sustainable, too, what you

misunderstanding. can you characterize the process of how this went about? >> let me talk about the general rules that apply in situations like this. as you know, just stepping back in terms of our conversations wtd district attorneys office, we tried to respect the confidentiality of our relationships with each official and not disclose the content with individual officials unless there is a legal need for other officials to know, but i'm happy to talk about the self disclosure obligation that apply to the office here and i can tell you generally, we give the same advice in these situations no matter who is asking. so the rules that i will, that i can explain here are the rules that we would explain to anyone coming to us with these questions. when a department receives a gift from an outside source there are a number of obligation before the department receives an approval. if the person gets a gift of over a hundred dollars, they are required to report it on the website and who gave it and whether that donor has any business with the city. the department must every

this is kind of, in a way, it reminds me of the subsidies of the telephone manufacturers are paid from the carriers to discount a telephone. >> the people misunderstandstion when you watch more video if somebody else pays for it. it is potentially that there is a potential danger here if the carriers get used to charging somebody else for data on the back end. i think that's part of the issue that you have a lot going forward. if the carriers feel like they can get certain content providers to pay they might start squeezing others, not raising the data caps going forward. it gets more affordable for them because i feel like they can squeeze the business. >> for consumers is this a good deal or will they end up paying more in the end because they will be watching more and thinking well, somebody else is paying for it but the truth of the matter is they are probably using the service more and they pay more as well. >> look, i think that the mobile carriers, they have to figure out how to grow their revenue. they can grow it by charging someone else. i think the question here is is it such a bad thing if you can pay more? i think ultimately it is a good

things where there is a factual misunderstanding or if we flag them and we may learn that there is already something that covers that point. >> so, one possibility would be for me to just let you know which ones i thought... >> i think that the chair and i discussed. >> that we were going to encourage the commissioners to contract the two of us that you wanted it. >> perfect. >> excellent. >> and then we will put them in the future discussions. >> okay. >> the only one that i will mention here that i can flag in that way, are these supporters committees and the general purpose committees and that kept coming up and just, laying to rest that there are rules that cover them in terms of limits or is there something that we need to do about it growing area? of potentials? >> commissioner hur? >> can i ask one other question about item number 7? i know that we have kind of moved on. would that be okay? >> yes. >> has the staff considered what we can do within our budget restraints and within our staffing constraints to improve our enforcement process? >> well, that has been an ongoing self-reflection for years. and again, i think that recently we have done a much be

misunderstanding? >> well, i got a phone call asking me to verify our address, and i verified our address, and they saidre sending us a letter that was going to tell us about a trust that -- we were part of a trust that we were getting. it went from there. they verified us. they called us and made sure we were who they thought we were. we did everything we were supposed to do. when we received the letter from them for the amount, i called them and said we don't know this lady. do you know how we're connected. they said no but that's not unusual for us not to know that. we filled out all the paper work, had it notarized, had our attorney look at it, send it in. and march 22 we got a check for $188,901 .03, and we nearly -- you know, what a blessing because it gave us the security to keep the shelter going. you never know from month to month if we're going to have enough money. >>gretchen: a couple of weeks later you got the call, oops, this was supposed to go to a shelter that had a similar name and they wanted the money back. long story short, they're going to give you $12,000 of that money? >> the atto

two different reporters asked me what are the implications for 2014. want anyone to misunderstand. this is not a short term, political issue. this is a civil right's issue. this is a long-term issue. it will have an impact far beyond the next midterm election. one thing you will see we have been trying to do is not just be a protest movement on the street. as a group we have been trying to organize a get together -- a get together in our communities. government isthe going in there and messing we are veryit, concerned. .his is not a short-term expect to hear a lot more about this as time goes on. i'm personally curious -- is this coming from the white house? from the agency? or is this individual people of bureaucracy on spring break gone wild? it'll probably take take us a couple of years to figure out. everyone standing behind me, we will be there.

mcconnell: let me make sure everybody understands where we are. let's have no misunderstanding. what the majority leader is doing is trying to get 51 votes to break the rules of the senate, to change the rules of the senate. we know what he's doing, and let's make no mistake what the stakes are. he is threatening this institution which he's elected in part to protect by manufacturing a crisis that does not exist. and of course, as we all know, in the senate every senator has the ability to impact how we do business. unanimous consent means exactly what it says: unanimous consent. so i hope the majority leader will think long and hard. i hope our friends in the majority who may someday be in the minority -- i know there are a lot of new democratic senators who think that will never happen, but amazingly enough the american people do from time to time change their minds about who they would like to be running the country. the shoe could be on the other foot. you never know when. i could have the job the majority leader currently has. i think we need to think long and hard about pr

me. the gentleman brings up great point. [inaudible conversations] i think there is maybe a little misunderstand what substitutes an actual trigger. submit tal of the plan or substantial completion. with this legislation, what we're saying before the status can start for anyone that has to be plan submitted. keep in mind, that plan has to be substantially deployed if it does not produce 90% effectivenesses after five-year period. the department of homeland security loses control to a local commission made up of governors, ranchers, and others who will spend an additional $2 billion, and then you have the period of time before anyone can adjust their status where it's not just a matter of splitting a plan. already triggers have been tripped. if a substantial -- if out percent effectivenesses is not reached. before anybody can adjust status these have to be dpe employed. the commission put forward. these are not just plans submitted. it's substantially more than that. before anybody can adjust status. the entry exit system has to be in use. not just a plan submitted in use. and e verify has to be in use. the confusion may exist on

me. where is my return. there's always been kind much a mistrust or a misunderstanding when it comes to the irs.is. >> representative kevin brady who is a senior republican out of the house ways and means committee out of texas, he says he's been in the grocery store. people are coming up to him at a grocery store at baseball practice telling him we want you to investigate this irs scandal, scratch the surface of this. in june, more hearings they're reporting we could be seeing as a result of this imt you can relate all of this to sports. if an umpire makes a bad call, that's the reason why you win the game. you don't feel as good about it. people on the left are saying, you know what, even if we disagree eye dee logically about anything, we at least want everyone treated fairly. this does not seem fair. >> we've lost trust in a lot of aspects of the government. some people don't trust the irs. maybe for good reason at times. how do you get the trust back? how about honesty and accountability? that's why people don't want folks from the irs to go there and take the fifth amendment. representativ

me there and it's one times revenue. i think with barton and the investing public seemed to misunderstand is that profit is calculated byng up. the rumor, i got this from cnbc.com today is that netflix is about to announce that they signed disney television content internationally and expenses are going up for sure and the market seems to be taking that leap of faith that once expenses go up revenues will necessarily follow. the fact is these guys don't control their expense structure at all. the content owners want more money and netflix's only recourse will be to raise prices. when they do that their growth is going to slow. so i think it's a profitable slow growth company that's worth about one times revenue or an unprofitable high growth company that's worth less. i don't see how you get them both. >> as they produce more of their own content it does get less expensive to air programming and also the notion that they're pricing relative to what cable companies charge is relatively tame and a lot of elasticity among consumers. >> carl, they don't produce their own content. someone else produces content. netflix buys
