mr. brooks basically just touched on. the foremost way to make sure that you can set, the board of supervisors or that a policy board of san francisco could set policy over how those lines are being used is of course if they are managed and controlled by the public instead of by private corporation x with private corporation x you basically have to get that into the franchise agreement or the lease agreement and we know that those are not necessarily the most public processes ever and then once that's in there, that's in there for 20 years, 50 years, a hundred years, whatever they signed away your rights for. the san francisco resident who has lived here for 15 years and thought we definitely were going to have public broad band by now, i would support the goal of this sdudy but also support the eventual looking into the issues that you raised and how we can try to ensure that low income communities do have access to these resources. thanks. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> i'm randell brubaker part of the steering c

mr. brooks. to give power to the people and the biggest divide we have got in this country, i don't think it's between republicans and democrats. the biggest divide we've got in this country is between career politicians in washington in both parties and the american people. and part of why you're see sog much unrest but part of why you're seeing so many people get engaged and get involved is the people are trying to hold washington accountable. are trying to say listen to our priorities. my top priority from day one has been restoring economic growth and jobs and opportunity. that's the top priority of texans. i've got a responsibility to fight for 26 million texans. in the two years i've been in the senate, with harry reid and the democrats we spend practically zero time talking about tax reform, about anything that would produce jobs and economic growth. and no wonder congress is at 10% approval rating if we don't even talk about the priorities of the people. >> you know, senator, we have talk

. >> brookings institution. mr. director general, i wanted to ask, you got the opportunity to work with two different heads of iran's atomic energy agency, one around the ahmadinejad administration and then ally akbar under the current rouhani administration. could you maybe touch on the difference in approaches between the two head and your relationship with both men? thanks. >> they are very different type of people. but different but it was very useful for me to have dialogue with both of them. style is different. but both of them have good understanding of the issue and i benefitted from the dialogue. the difference doesn't bother me. i'm ready to work with everyone. >> hi. i have a question about what are the measures that the iaea can take in order to prevent the inappropriate use of dual-use material? and what do you view as the role of trade controls and how can the iaea support that? >> i didn't quite understand. >> yeah, sure. so my question is what are some of the measures that the iaea can take in order

brooks from kcbs news. >>> well, your favorite story here. mr.redible, batgirl, chewbaka, waldo, even freddie krueger all got into a very nasty fight. >> the weird group of people but it happened in hollywood of course. >> it's a fight! >> the characters are supposed to entertain tourists on the hollywood walk of fame. but instead, they gave quite a show yesterday. started with mr. incredible or not so incredible. allegedly he attacked batgirl. at one point he chased, punched and kicked and threw her on the sidewalk. [ censored ] >> other superheros are not surprised this happened [ censored ] >> what should i call? what do you go by? >> batman. >> the good ones we're stationary. we're standing against the curb. people come to us. but the bad ones, they roam up and down so they cross paths or they target the same people. >> well, too bad batman wasn't there to stop all that fighting. mr. incredible eventually chased off batgirl seems to be just fine so -- >> i was in disneyworld one time i saw snow white smoking a cigarette.

brooke kroeger, what about james o'keefe, npr? >> guest: good question. i would widen that, not to pick on mr.o'keefe, but for me the issue is not who does it, that's not so important to me. i said this before. it is really the execution of the work. so it has been very common for decades for newspapers or magazines or television stations to partner with other government associations, humane societies, activists of various kinds. this is not unusual to do really good work. slavery is almost always a topic done with this organization. if you're trying to go around the world come you obviously go to the people who really know where things are happening or how they are happening. in the case of better government associations, they cited this as a matter of course. why would you partner with them? the way i explain it in the book and a very helpful example to understand the difference between activism and journalism as let's say in fact this has been with npr came under a cloud with the o'keefe exposÉ, at the same time, the humane society was doing investigation. i think it was a smithfield plant

>> brooke, is this another liberal media conspiracy to see how badly we have treated mr. obama? >> it happens to all presidents. they all go gray because as you said they work so hard. i am just not sure why it is happening to president obama. he is golfing when he should be mourning the death of an american citizen, foley. he is not paying attention to his security briefings on isis, apparently. he is asleep at the wheel with benghazi. that was a surprise. and ebola, i mean he is not closing the borders. iffy bow law does not scare the [bleep -- if ebola does not scare the] bleep [out of you, i don't know. >> i think she stepped over the line there. >> joe, in the green room you were saying you like gray hair on a man as long as it is attached to a fat wallet. >> and it usually is. see i think obama is not stressed. i think the gray is an effect. he is dying his hair lighter to seem more weathered and seem more human. like he is stressed out by this. we all know he doesn't have many emotions. >> it is cold. he is mr. spoke. spock. and we know who he will be for halloween. >> wh

mr. blitzer, thank you so much. great to be with all of you, i'm brooke baldwin. let's get to it. huge, huge news. breaking news here at cnn. finally free from the clutches of north korea's communists. the 56-year-old tourist detained since may has landed in guam aboard a u.s. government airplane. north korea, listen to this. they freed him in the dark of night without saying why as it still holds those other two americans convicted there of crimes. he had been awaiting charges for leaving a bible in a nightclub. the timing here is curious. and we're going to talk about that. but first, here is confirmation of the release from the white house. >> to confirm jeffrey foul is on his way home to rejoin his family. we certainly welcome the decision from the dprk to release him. while this is a positive decision, we remain focused on the continued detention of kenneth bay and matthew miller and again calling to immediately release them. >> a whole lot of ground here to cover, including what this signal from the super secretive nuclear armed north korean government could possibly mean. let me bring in no
