mr. garner, it would be helpful so the public and the rate payers know it is more than these minuscule issues that have been raised by auditors, that there are also contravening rebuttals. would you agree, [speaker not understood]? >> yes. i just wanted to point out that in the early '97 or '98, actually i was responsible for bringing joc to department of public works. and when i came over to puc, i brought it to the puc. and the whole issue was to really help us do small projects instead of doing plans and specs and going out and advertising, joc was the vehicle that you can actually perform that. and, so, we've been working, trying to include more local businesses. we went out with the -- we spearheaded the micro joc where it's a micro set aside for small businesses. and we've looked at bonding issues on joc. so, we've done a lot to really make joc, you know, palatable to a lot of small businesses. and what miguel mentioned, we are very proud about that. i think the issue, you know, as far as the audit is concerned is actually pointing out some things that we acknowledge and there are some

congressman which was to garner a lot of attention, do some things that are very much out of the mainstream and end up becoming a thorn in the side of the leadership. >> jonathan, mrn with fecal matter. is this a personal fetish or a personal problem? which is it? >> oh, lord, martin. it's a personal problem. buttic it was reprehensible for him to be in the chamber. he is an american citizen. he has a right to be there. his presence there only -- it sort of highlights just how coarse our political discourse has become. that someone who can say he wants obama to suck on the end of his machine gun or other things he said at the nba convention last year, that he can say these repugnant things and still be there within feet of the president of the united states. i just think was just wrong on so many levels. and if this is what we have to expect from congressman stockman for the next two years, then i should just say thanks. he's going to give me tons to write about. >> yeah. but it's not that funny, is it julian? because i keep hearing speaker boehner talk about the president and democrats needing to get serious about the challenges facing this country. and then one

mr. hagel will go on to do a great job at the defense department. he's a great public servant, a decorated vietnam veteran. there's no question that his performance during the nomination here will not garnerll 55 of them, and he will receive the necessary votes to break the filibuster. senator shelby indicated yesterday he will support mr. hagel. and as you well know, i mr. mcc ayotte in new hampshire, but they're not on the letter. so perhaps we'll get even more support on tuesday. >> do you have any reason to believe the president will withdraw this nomination, ari, or that hagel himself will ask that his name be withdrawn? >> no, i think that would be the best thing for our nation, if that were to happen. you know, donna's right. he won't get an oscar, but i wish he did. i wish that was an act. but i'm afraid it was the real chuck hagel. he didn't even know the president's iran policy. and iran is probably going to be the biggest issue that the secretary of defense has to deal with. wolf, i'm just worried from a substantiative point of view that at a time like this, america is going to have a very bumbly, stumbly secretary of defense. he says his job is not even to make policy. we coul

budgets which garnered absolutely zero votes up here in the senate, sessions says, quote, he made a series of outrageously false statements about these plans to congress and the american people. and mrlew's budget and egregious disregard for the truth for fiscal reform and in so doing placed this nation and its citizens in financial danger. these actions alone are disqualifies and sessions threatened this just last night, listen up. >> with cabinet people we try not to do that almost done ever in the senate, but this is a big deal. >> reporter: lew was the chief operating officer of citigroup from 2006-2008. citigroup was the largest recipient of any banking institution of bailout money, almost half a trillion dollars, that no doubt will come under tremendous scrutiny as jack lew's confirmation hearing for treasury secretary gets underway here. >> all right. doug, thanks for that. new revelations to track down that ex-lapd officer going on a killing rampage, gunned down at least three people allegedly for retaliation for being fired from the lapd back in 2009. well, now we're learning that dorner was seen purchasing scuba equipment just two days before the murders and that he may al
