. >> thank you, mr. baker. >> okay. opening it up for public comment. celiashumen. >> [inaudible] hester, these are two different case numbers, i wish you could do more than three minutes for the public because we have to speak to two projects, and you acknowledge the difficulty by giving more time to the project sponsor. two projects totally. >> commissioners, this item was called up, both of these items were called up together. it has been your practice to allow three minutes for each speaker. it is the pleasure of the commission chair to change that. >> let's stay with three minutes, i have two speaker cards here, if there's not an overwhelming amount of people, we can revisit that. (calling speaker names). >> hi, thank you, good afternoon, my name is seal yeah shoe m*n and i am here on behalf of the owner of 1rhode island street, we are a property that is diagonal to the 1 henry adams street project. we're happy to see that parcel being developed, it will be a good thing for the area but we do have some concerns particularly with regard to the heigh

them and i don't like that part of the design and i would ask the staff to continue to work with mr. baker to try to make that a little bit richer. if you open your things to 1 a 1.15, you can really see what this look like and they detract from the building a lot. even though some of the lower spaces have the wood. either a little bit more wood or wood simulation or masonry will make it a lot richer. on the other project, the bar project, i think that the best looking area there is the one that is going to be the sales office, leasing office and community room which has a lot of ma sonry and it looks like the richest. i was a little concerned with some of the rendering that came up on the screen. i thought what i have in the packets look a lot better. i am hoping that when we end up is more like the packet and less than on the screen. and when that building and when it was viewed from a distance looked pretty imposing and stark and i think that we make sure that the colors and the materials are subtle enough to fit into the area and again i would ask that both architects continue to work

the judge says in her final summation, you are nothing, mr. baker, but a pebble in the pond. you are nothing but poor white trash. all my life, i was a bad boy. i look back and i see all the stupid mistakes that i made. and i see the young people that's here at this prison and i hear all the stories because i listen and i think to myself, you do not know how fortunate you are. you're going out there with another chance, whether it's five years, ten years or what. you're getting another chance. i'll never get that chance. i would give my leg, my arm, for that chance. i'm never going to get it. i'm going to die right here. >> it's fun to break the law and dance with the devil. but see, when you got to pay the fiddler, it ain't nothing nice. trust me, i'm living it. i'm living it. >> when it comes to serving hard time, white trash baker is hardly alone. >> me, myself, i got 35 to life. i'm here on a three strikes case. in the mid-'80s i had a burglary and attempted burglary. i did four years for it. those are strike one and strike two. in 1996, i caught a drug charge, a methamph

mr. baker leaves behind his wife, two daughters and a sound.hind a husband and her two sons. i caught up with these two people that knew them. >> it is devastating. i am completely lost for words and my heart goes out to the family. i cannot begin to feel what they are feeling and he made a huge impact on my life. i will always be grateful. i will never forget. he was a really good man. >> i knew butler and i've seen baker around all my life. it is hard to except the fact that this all happen to. if on the front door of this police department. the police department are calling this the worst and darkest day. it is the first time ever lost officers on the force. condolences are being expressed on our facebook fan page. >> peter: another good cop killed in the line of duty. makes me think of those oakland cops who were killed. may they rest in >> andrea: my heart hurts when i see these things happen. that's why it bothers me when people talk about how much money police officers make. >> christopher: this is a sickening waste of good, human life.

mr. bakertalk about the action he plans to take in the wake of this week's tragedy. >> meanwhile, also in prince georges county, another deadly shooting investigation. a 30-year-old man was gunned down in temple hills. is the suspect who police say was high on pcp has been taken into custody. >> in a story that continues to develop, olympic track star oscar pistorius was back in front of a judge today. south african prosecutors believe oscar pistorius should be denied bail. >> but this morning, there are new details about what was discovered inside the athlete's home. and that's making headlines. dave ross joins us with the latest. sglt details keep unraveling on this case, y'all. we've got new information. that basically things are getting worse for oscar pistorius. prosecutors reveals two boxes of testosterone and needles were discovered in his bedroom. but defense lawyer says it was an herbal remedy and not a banned substance. oscar pistorius was drug tested in august and september of last y

mr. peter baker of a friend of mine that works at the "new york times." >> i've been hearing it, very interesting. >> very interesting. the reason i asked to bring you on is in 2009 you wrote a great piece, a transition from president bush to president obama and president obama at the time wanted to close gitmo, a lot of things in the terror and intel community and you wrote about how during the inauguration, a set upfor the inauguration, a lot of those plans changed. can you give us a quick two seconds on that? >> sure, what president obama as a candidate ran against president bush's first term. what he didn't fully realize is president bush by the time he left office modified the counterterrorism policies that were controversial so when he took over, he agreed with a lot of things he inherit. not everything. but a lot of what he took over from president bush he kept in place. >> one is john brennan, he kept president bush's pick for national counter-terrorist center director, john brennan. talk about what you heard him speak about drones. he said they're conducted, the drone strikes, conducted

mike baker, thanks a lot for joining us. >> thank you. >> it seems mr.ad a couple positions on a number of issues, including waterboarding. is he a political man from your knowledge of him? >> well, i mean he's very good at the political game in washington. you don't get to the positions that he's arrived at without being savvy in washington, d.c. that's just the way it works. he's a smart individual, he's a very hard working individual. he's got a lot of very good experience. but there is this concern -- and it was clear during the course of the hearing, which was one of the more interesting and stranger confirmation hearings we've had in recent past. he came across i thought as a little bit to do perhaps deferential and apologetic when the senators were coming after him for a variety of reasons. none of which had to do with confirmation as a c.i.a. director. they seemed self-righteous and self serving as a group of senators on the intel committee. >> it's hard to know where he stands because of his political savviness. in 2007, he said he supported the

mr. mcdonough, welcome to "meet the press." >> thanks for having me. >> what is your key part of your goal for this job? how do you approach it? >> my approach is focus on something that jim baker told me the other day. reach out to several of the other chiefs of staff. he said as long as you're focused and not on chief, you're going to be okay. i got to tell you i'm working with a staff that is excellent. i'm really honored to be part of it. honored the president has laid this responsibility on me and looking forward to doing it. >> i was mentioning before we went on the hit. the asteroid that came near the united states is stuff you have to talk about. >> the fact is that we're going to keep working on this and everything else to make sure that we are on top of it. >> let's talk about the agenda items. chuck hagel's nomination is held up. the expectation is he'll ultimately be confirmed but bill cohen said something this week to politico that caught my attention that does underline the problems that hagel could have as defense secretary. he said it's going to put him in a difficult position once he gets there. those resentments will weigh around. i think it's tragic what is h

baker, "the new york times" this morning, i'm sure you saw this. you wrote that president obama actually finds himself cast in a similar role to that of president george w. bush. "mr. obama has embraced some of mr. bush's approaches to counterterrorism right down to a secret legal memo authorizing presidential action unfettered by outside forces." why do you think president obama's adopted some of the bush administration's approaches to counterterrorism? >> well, you know, i'm not sure i see the parallel to the extent that this article implies. i think obama's been extremely careful in circumscribing the use of force. we made mistakes in the bush era at first, arrested u.s. citizens, held them, we made some mistakes, torture being the worst of the lot. so, i think the obama team's been mindful of that. they're trying to be careful. but at the end of the day, better you take soldiers out of afghanistan and iraq and allow the agency and the fbi to operate overseas. so, again, we ought to be careful. don't circumscribe the ability of the president of the united states to keep us safe, but do have congressional oversight. >> general barry mccaffrey, we will leave it t

baker would be sitting back there. he was the chief of staff for ronald reagan. he would slip up to the hill and say, mr.ur reaction to that? and they'd have constantly opening lines of communication between the white house and the hill and what was possible, what needs to be done. jon and i both have read reagan's diaries, for example, which are a remarkable political document, in my judgment, don't you think? >> absolutely. >> you really get an insight into what he was thinking. after i think the tax reform deal, jack kemp came screaming down to the white house saying this is the worst idea you've ever had. they had an argument for about an hour. then the president wrote in his diary, congressman kemp doesn't get it. what he needs to understand is that we had to give a little so that we could get something out of all this. and you see the play of negotiation that was going on, eyeball to eyeball. and president reagan was not always involved, but he had an a-team on his staff in congressional relations and jim baker and the other people who were in the middle of all of it. >> there's no doubt, another,
