mr. lee, if we could start with you. how big a deal is this sale? in secularig deal terms, at least. in terms of numbers and finance, $250 million is not a lot of money. compared to other media deals, it is pretty small. it is more the fact that it is "the washington post," the storied newspaper. and jeff bezos, on the other side of the country, who is a well-known internet billionaire. despite the fact that he tends to be press shy. it is the secular interest of the big names behind it. interest in this deal outside of washington and outside of media circles? >> i think the fact that there are probably -- almost everyone at this country has come across amazon, bought something, or been aware of it will get main street's attention. the focus is the power centers. media, washington, d.c., and silicon valley. amplify across the country and into main street. also, what it means for newspapers in general. old media, new media linking up. i think that is what is drawing all the attention and speculation, what will happen to the post, and what will happen

. >> good afternoon mr. lee. >> good afternoon mr. chairman and the members. we have chinese we have a one word sale if you can get here nobody has a bore head. we have me and other people. the public if they can get enough taxi service nobody wants to pay extra money and live in unsafe vehicle. if the driver can get the medallion earlier. the cab driver they've done their job and that's the only way they can make feelings. i bring you to a suggestion like two years ago and driver tried that here and the records show you that this procedure you have to do is you have to feed the soldiers to fight. i give you're good food to the general to eat and the soldiers have no good food to eat. there's a way they can start eating pr soldiers is only for another. that's what our chinese many years ago this is the problem. you have to do 3 kind of actions quibble and after this summer a lot of drivers have done their jobs. do the affordable lease okay inform the cab driver. flat rate to the airport because this is a big part of our income this comes from 90 percent of the

services our commissioner was not an lawyer a they needed an accountant on administrator analysis >> and mr. lee is the last person. >> good afternoon i take the neutral on this issue and maybe 10 years of drivership will be exemplification. every 3 months they have to sit in a classroom. talking anything about the history my science. they're like a student. this is a way that inspired we're the how to governor the country and better. this is a way to upgrade may be anything like science and history. it's very bottom all the way up they're still upgrading their knowledge. in america you don't go back to yale. a conventions we do they have to come to san francisco to upgrade their knowledge. i think myself as 24 years i can teach the schools how to make money. this is neutral i have a very good instrument even though i have no health care. when i go to dental office i don't go to there every year. i am healthy than you or i know you're not healthy. i tell you i have a lot of secret way to make people healthy. like go to see the doctor and somebody get sick everything is running 25 percent of our

i'm here to represent my client mrs. lee.despite my warning, you searched her caravan without a warrant. she was hiding a suspect. then i find her husband has suffered serious stomach injuries. i expect it's eating all them hedgehogs. you struck him, superintendent. you used unnecessary force. and i know your prejudice against gypsies. oh, aye? oh, definitely aye. meantime, i advise you not to harass my client again, or to try and interview lee without his solicitor present. meaning you? meaning me. is that clearly understood, mr. dalziel? she said i was prejudiced against gippos. extraordinary, sir. there is a willow grows ascaunt a brook, that shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream, there with fantastic garlands did she come of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples. the liberal shepherds give a grosser name, but our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them. her clothes spread wide and mermaid-like, a while, they bore her up-- stop. stop. why? what's wrong? remember, you're not reading poetry. you're playing

only have six minutes so i would like to get my voice in. >> john: she got schooled by mr. lee.t helped boost the funding of his project. he has $763,000 of the $1.25 million he needs in place there. is only 12 days left. i'm talking to you, the clock is ticking folks. we're pleased to welcome the oscar nominated filmmaker and nyu graduate mr. spike lee. >> as you are. >> john: great to have you. >> the butchest name in sports. >> thank you four joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> john: when i took the show over, i had a goal of three dream guests, you were top of the list. i'm happy before al jazeera takes the furniture away, we got to have you on. i want to get the controversy out of the way. you said you would put your own money in the film. >> i have. one was self-financed. reddick summer was self-financed. i'm putting money in this film, too. so it is not like i'm not putting money in my films within the last three decades. >> john: exactly. as far as kick start, we have a mutual friend, ryan denmark who did a facebook posting is that what people don't understand is

when mr lee is hoping the united nations to provide a un refugee camp with drinking water. is one of the humanitarian projects which the company finances as part of its corporate social responsibility program. it's the lack of drinking water the global water problem which is also of paramount priority for the u.n. the water crisis is perhaps the most urgent ecological and human threat of our time in their recent world water development report twenty four agencies of the united nations confirmed that the global water crisis is getting worse and threatening millions of people every day they can't benefit the paper if it p.o.p.o. in a way it is possible for either the united nations board best to do it by itself. by having a bit know how far mr or the company is with a few expertise so few in h.c.r. be able to assure access to pure water for the parents of south so people. this is the jam to which meter brobeck is referring in his knisley we do it's home to some twenty thousand refugees from neighboring somalia. many of them have been here for more than twenty he is waiting fo

the number that's here in the contract is the budget number that mr. lee and staff have loaded into our budget. so, even though the bid was this number, the contract award is for the amount that we budgeted, but we base the bid award based on a calculation that everybody competed equally for. so, that's why one is higher. does that make sense? >> actually, no because are you then telling me that we went to the second highest bidder that we'd still be paying, and their bid was over a million dollars, that we would still pay them 86 4 -- >> because everybody has a different rate calculation in how they figure their rates. so, we have to have a basis to award. but our security needs are not based on a fixed contract. they're based on unit prices to perform tasks and we budgeted an amount that we have averaged over the last three or four or five years. but in order to decide what to bid on, we had to give them some really tight criteria, so, everybody is bidding equally on the same playing field. if, in fact, their contract exceeds $800,000, then we have more

mr. lee papa. welcome back. always insightful democratic strategist mr. bazell mike isel. very happy to have you here. according to politico, the president said he's planning a surge of executive action on issuens like voting rights, healthcare, job creation, the economy, climate change and immigration. bazell, why do you think the president has been so reluctant up until now to use this power? >> i'm not entirely sure. i think he's always tried to do things -- to work with congress. he acts like he doesn't know the power of his office. his numbers are down. he's going around the country on the road show to build some support for some of his policies but i like what he does this because it shows me that he's actually willing to use the power of the office. so i think part of it is just a frustration, number one that he's tried to sort of play both sides and do this bipartisan thing that hasn't really worked but more to the point, i think the country is blaming him for it not working and now he needs to actually show he's doing something. >> john: it shows him engaging with

. >> commissioner lee? >> mr. paxton, you mentioned that some of these problem takes year of development to mold and mildew and such. my question to you is our records show that a report for a complaint was filed at the department of building inspection in 2009. and at that time, the inspection showed that they were already missing tiles and mildew and rock. and obviously, if it was up to me that did not happen over night. so my question is what happened prior to 2009 and what did you do since when you first saw a problem? or did you not notice it until 2009. >> no it had been going on for years before that and there was a gradual deteriation of the shower and started off with cracks and i brought it to the owner's attention and the owner's sold the building and he bought it and the tiles started falling off and sheetrock and the bugs started appearing and i said that the work has to be done. and when nothing got done, i ultimately had to resort to calling housing. which i would have preferred not to have done. >>

and, mr. lee, if we could start with you, how big a deal is this sale? >> guest: well, it's a big deal in secular terms at least, in terms of numbers, in terms of finances, $250 million isn't -- it's a lot of money, but compared to a lot of media deals, it's pretty small. it's more the fact it's "the washington post," a storied brand, a storied newspaper that once helped topple a sitting u.s. president, and jeff bethos who's a well known internet billionaire, despite the fact he tends to be press shy, ironically enough. so that's the sides of this deal, it's the secular interest that the big names behind it. >> host: is there interest in this deal, mr. lee, outside of washington and outside of media circles? >> guest: you know what? i think the fact that there are probably almost everyone in this country has come across amazon, either bought something or at least is aware of it will at least, you know, get main street's attention. but, yes, the focus is the power centers. media, washington, d.c., of course, and silicon valley. so these are pretty importa

there is a walnut what not shelf with a bust of mr. lee again on -- lincoln on it. not everybody in the neighborhood could say that they had a bust of their husband in the living room. so this is a fancy place. this is where she wanted to show off. mary would have held her party is in here. she would have been discussing mr. lincoln's political aspirations. at the front door, meeting mr. lincoln here, probably in the archway between the two rooms, may be picking up some refreshments, and then in the sitting room before going out again. but this was the seat of power in the house. mary was showcasing what her husband had done, how far he had come from that one-room log cabin in the middle of nowhere kentucky to this beautiful house, a very comfortable house, and kind of hinted at where they were headed, stating to the world that abraham lincoln had made it and that he was ready to move on. >> next, a caller from wisconsin, his name is tim. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have read several biographies about mary lincoln, and i have never seen anythin

now, today with eight days left, mr. lee has passed the $1 million mark. lking about why he turned to social media to raise the money. >> before there was kick start, there was no internet, you know, social media was meaning writing letters, getting on the phone, and getting the money. so the only thing that's changed has been the technology. >> so presumably now if he could get there, then it gets made and he'll be able to see what the mystery film was that is around apparently the subject of the lust for blood. maybe why it wasn't made -- >> interesting. that's the point you're making. maybe the topic should be better. >> it's about the lust for blood. >> plenty of people willing to give their money to him. he made the point he's in the past started his career by basically small funded projects that then went on to do quite well. in some ways this is more of a back to the future moment than a futuristic. >> if it makes money, will he return the profits to the people that put the money up. >> i don't know how that works. >> is that how kick starter works?

mr. lee that we could start with you. how big a deal is this they'll?guest: well it's a big deal in secular terms at least. in terms of numbers and in terms of finances $250 million is a lot of money certainly but there a lot of other media deals out there. it's pretty small. it's more the fact that as the "washington post" the story brand newspaper that once helped topple a sitting u.s. president and jeff bezos who is on the other side of the country who is a well-known billionaire. despite the fact that he tends to be fairly -- so that's the size. it's a secular interest with big names behind it. >> host: is there interest in this deal mr. lee outside of washington and outside of media circles? >> guest: you know what, i think the fact that there are probably almost everyone in this country at some point has come across amazon either bought something or is at least aware of it or at least you now get mainstreet's attention but yes the focus is the power centers. media and washington d.c. and silicon valley. these are pretty important areas to get peop
