ç when mr. knew about 118 appearances at the white house he respond e was there forç an easter egg roll. that's not a very good way to explain why you were there every nine days during your tenure as irs commissioner for nearly fouç years. i'm dubious about this. this is a question we need to have a lot of answers to. the answers are going to be difficult, because the point at which the white house is going to assert executive privilege and say, he was inside the white house giving policy advice as part of the white house policy process, and that's none of your business, congress, what that is, but in thisç instance i thk the perception of white house involve.in this is going to require the white house going a little bit better than they might otherwise be inclined to go. >> bret: before we move on to one another issue, i wouldn't be very, very curious if it weren't for the fact that secretary sibelius had the same number of visits, because they would need to act together, but the disparity has

three hours live sunday at noon eastern on booktv on c-span2. >> mr. moss, what happened in minneapolis in april of 1999? >> you know, i start the book with that meeting because it's so informative of the industry's attitude and strategies. 1999 the obesity epidemic was just beginning to emerge and raise concern not only among consumer activists and nutritionists, but among people inside the processed food industry. they gathered together, um, for a very rare meeting. of ceos of some of the top manufacturers in north america who got together at the old minneapolis headquarters, the old pillsbury headquarters in minneapolis to talk about none other than this emerging crisis really for the industry. and up in front of them got none other than one of tear own, his name -- their own, his name was michael mudd, he was vice president of kraft. he was armed with 114 slides and laid at the feet of these ceos and presidents of these large food companies responsibility for the, not only the obesity crisis, but he cited the rising cases of diabetes, high blood pr

the number of applications between 2009-2012 for 501(c)(4) come even though mr. shulman points out actually it's sort of redundant, but several, from 1751, to 3003 and 57. that's in your report. >> there's no question that that event, the ruling of the supreme court came down. >> data irs resources expand its did congress rushed to irs aid and say centura flooded with new responsibilities, here's some more resources? because you cited bad training so you can handle this, if that happens because i would have to defer to mr. shulman. >> could you repeat the question? >> were you flooded after citizens united to do with of audience to get where we given resources? no, no. >> all right, mr. george, again i'm looking at your report and its the pie chart i want to make sure i understand. here's the pie chart, and we are focused particularly on conservative groups. of course, i think all of us feel as americans irrespective of your political beliefs nobody should be targeted. you know, and the proper exercise of the rights to express themselves politically. you have a p

mr. shulman. >> senator, could you just clarify the problem? >> yet, the line blurred. the lines of blurred between 527s and the 501(c)(4)s so there's an incentive for people to choose their tax status based on whether they want to either does but i think it's real straightforward to the line is blurred and you'll don't seem to do anything about and i want to know why not? >> look, let me state i think the law in the taxi good area is very complex. like -- >> we understand all the. why didn't he do anything on your watch to corrective? >> let me continue. the treasury regulation that the irs staff in cincinnati was wrestling with in this case our long-standing regulations. i believe they are 40 plus years, 50 old. and i did see that the inspector general in his report recommended that treasure ought to look at the regulations. i heard the chairman said he was going to look at this, and all i can say is that, you know, this is a very hard path given to the irs. to have the irs, which means due process 140 million tax returns and give billions of dollars of refund out of people every year, to also have them have this p

mr. simpson. when he said, he didn't know anything about the plan to recover the merchandise and when he found outçimpson did not have a legal right to go and recover those items. right now mr. galanter is under heavy fire by mr. simpson's veteran defense lawyer, and under cross-examination, one of those positions that traditionally criminal defense lawyers do not like to be in. >> typically cases like this, how do they typically turn out? >> well, traditionally, they don't turn out well for the defendant. because there is a heavy, heavy burden to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. every individual, every defendant is entitled to good competent representation. they're not necessarily entitled to the best representation. to rise to a level of ineffective assistance of counsel is a heavy burden. in this case, under cross-examination right now, one of the central issues is why mr. galanter didn't challenge the ad missibility of the audio tapes that came into evidence in mr. simpson's matter. that is pretty significant. because there was very damaging evidence that came in on those audio tape

he's saying the cu, the existing uses do not require a c u at this point in time as long as they are not moving. is that correct, mr. sanchez? >> thank you. yes. one that lawfully existed at the time of the legislation went into affect would be allowed to be maintained and would not need a c u. the cu is only triggered when they are changing locations which it refers you to. i think the language under e, it does talk about continuations of existing prohibits fringe financial service uses. it's not saying continuations of permitted financial. >> yes. i think that's the point. if they are principally permitted then they are in non-conforming use. >> i get what you are saying. >> all right. at the risk of complicating this a little further. >> don't. >> i just want to draw your attention to section e 2, e 1 and 2 which suggest perhaps that, well, i should let you read it for yourself. >> like all legislation this is not clear. >> let's read it. >> which my interpretation they meet. >> i would actually like to hear from the appellant since we gave mr. sanchez an opportunity to give his interpretations. >> i certainly a

mr. miller. it didn't happen. so as the viewers watched and as the members of congress participated in the conversation andç the exchangen questions and answers, it became very obvious very quickly that mr. miller was not there to take responsibility. in fact, he said, look, i'm not comfortable with the word "targeted." that didn't go on. he offered an apology. but then he offered excuses immediately after that. he wouldn't even in my questioning acknowledge the fact that certain groups were treated differently. he answered, in fact, he answered no to that question. then what i asked him, is it not your responsibility to provide the information that you knew about this situation to congress? he would not answer that question. so, chris, you know, today i think was really a sad day for america as people watched this interview, because the -- it starts with the leadership. and the leadership, today, in the irs, showed arrogance, showed a lack of concern and brushed the, in my opinion, just sort of brushed the issue aside. >> congressman, thank you. you've been around. i don't know what i saw. i certainly saw a disconnect

c pmc is interested in refinancing some of the terms. also involving the community the errors like the one that mr. rich talked about in terms of the workforce. there's 2 hundred and 25 pages here. and i get it. you know, it's just an unusual process. but thank you. i mean, we see people here not involved necessarily in the the night grit negotiations right so there is this broader community. we have nothing against involving the broader community. >> one question for mr. rich. i guess to get to that .2 potential committals. would it be possible to specifically call out s fha j to receive they will receive the city report and we'll forward the cb mc pooling upon receipt. so the planning department of public health has many ways to look at this and i'll defer it to the gentleman to be able to do that. we have situations where we notify people's of sequa action because this that doesn't involve hundreds and hundreds of actions it should be okay to notify people of the changes it should not be a problem. >> if we specifically call those out -- >> i think probably the thing to do is allow people to let
