good morning, mr. wu. >> good morning, john wu, office of port of san francisco. as to port security grant program, i guess the good news is there are no cost and our contractor was in fact not suspended or debarked. as to the procedural matter, this came up as part of a monitoring report as to compliance and we turned around immediately in august 2015, documented new procedures to make sure that we followed the steps of documenting a review for obtaining certification for regulation that we document and report that procedure. that is now clear in our internal procedures and we'll be in compliance from this point on. >> excellent. thank you, mr. wu. any questions for mr. wu? seeing none. who do we have here from juvenile probation? >> good morning, very new to the scene. just a month and 2 weeks. >> tell us your name. >> my name is eric gribde. >> i understand there are changes to rectify our recording mechanism. so i think it's three fold at this point. so there is retraining of probation supervisors. also the second piece is changing the procedures. i think our

curry and mr. goodeo a physical confrontation and so both of them were taken out of j-5. >> the fight between inmate chad goode and curry apparently began after curry felt a third inmate smelled bad, so he doused the inmate with a mixture of water, toothpaste, and soap. >> the young man is a little too young and too small to stand up to himself to a guy that big. >> i asked him about it. he didn't deny it. so i sent him out of the pod. and while he was in the sally port, he was standing there whipping his penis out and shaking it at the inmates. and then, i guess they told him that they were going to smash him out. and then he started apologizing. and they're like, all right, we'll leave you alone, so don't do it again. and then he pulls it out again and starts doing the same thing laughing and taunting them while he's doing it. >> obnoxious. just plain obnoxious. he's out there in sally port shaking his wang at everybody, which is not something you do to a bunch of guys in orange. it's just, we've been

mr. trump, good morning. >> good morning. >> andrew sullivan, brooklyn new york, registered republican and a supporter of yours. >> thank you. >> hello, mr. trump. full disclosure, i did work for you. i appreciate the ten years of good union construction work you provided for me and my family. god bless you. >> good. good. thank you. thank you. >> what's your question, sir? >> the question is this. in regards to isis, i sincerely appreciate the aggressive stance you want to take with them. and my question, how do you avoid the pitfalls of the past, in part, by getting involved yet again in this perpetual state of war with no end in sight? >> that is such an important question. you know, i was against the war in iraq. i said you don't go in. you're going to destabilize the middle east. i was so strong against iraq. we went in. we made a terrible mistake in going in. then we got out the wrong way. isis was created because of the way we got out and because of the bad moves we made even while we were there. but we now have to do something. we have to knock the hell out of them. we're going to

mrs. cruz: nice to meet you. >> here you go. 1, 2, 3. good job. mrs. cruz: thank you so much. you are so kind to say that. we are grateful for you coming out to see us. you have a lot of great citizens here who are well-informed. thank you. >> we are next-door neighbors. i called her up and said do you want to go?

mr. bower (calling names). >> good afternoon mr. court. >> i'm adrian with the bay area council for the past several years we've helped to coordinate the shuttler with the mta to provide did sfmta with the data it need to come up with another pilot program and the subsequent permitting program and the council is dedicated to seeing the program succeed because we 23i6r78 building that traffic congestion is one of the major economic barriers for the economic success of san francisco and the bay area at large we're concerned that the bowers exit because bowers represents a bowers exit will weaken the program and lessen the chance of connect they currently transport 11 hundred riders every day that calculates to about 8 excuse me - 8 hundred and 46 car trips per day and about 4 thousand 2. or hundred and thirty per week on a year that is over 2 thousand vehicle trips a year if bowers is unable to participate that will have a significant impact on traffic of san francisco and the broader reason i'll additionally point out the violations

mr. wiedefeld: good afternoon, mr. chairman. thank you for having me today. i'll be very brief but since i've come aboard four months ago, a big part of my time has been spent reaching out to the community. i've got a firsthand experience from using the system, listening to them, walking the tunnels, walking the bus garages and maintenance facilities. i've learned about the issues and opportunities we have. unfortunately during this time i've had to make difficult decisions. first one dealing with the blizzard we had that affected the region and the second one is the cable fire at mcpherson square. both of those decisions were driven by commitment to safety for customers and employees. in the near term, my priorities remain to be safety, service reliability and getting our fiscal house in order as the chairman mentioned. last month, also mentioned, i put out a report, customer accountability report that outlines the number of actions based on my short time here of things i want to do and things i've heard and what we learned from mckinzie and other sources. t

mr. trump, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> first of all, you know what? what'd you think of the masters yesterday? >> well, i thought it was great to watch. i thought -- and i know jordan, he's a wonderful young guy. he's had a very life altering experience. it looked like he was just going to sail right through. that's golf. it's a tough sport. that's life. that's golf. that's sports. that's everything. i mean it can happen. but he's a great young guy and he'll be fine and he'll be back. >> he is such a great guy. just a good role model for the young kids. >> absolutely. >> all right so yesterday or over the weekend you lost the state of colorado and you tweeted about this. you said you were angry and you said it was unfair. why do you think that? >> well, it really started with colorado. and the people out there are going crazy. you know, in the denver area, in colorado itself. they're going absolutely crazy. because they weren't given a vote. this was given by politicians. it's a crooked deal. and i see it. and i see it honestly i see it with bernie, t

mr. dodaro, good to see you again. and i would like to commend you on the work that you do and the work that the gao does. it's very impressive. i'm a career businessman from the private sector. and i for one can appreciate what your department does. many times unsung, many times reports probably not read. but i share mr. palmer's zest for reading your reports and i think it's extremely important to the taxpayers in this country, the job that you do. so thank you very much. >> thank you for those comments. >> i'd like to as opposed to digging into the details today, if you and i could just go to the 60,000-foot level, i would appreciate that. i think my constituents are interested in your answers and the taxpayers are, as well. first question, has the federal government in your estimation, your opinion, grown so large, so big, that it cannot effectively, that's the key word, be managed any longer? because as a businessman, i see this time and time again. and i'm coming to the conclusion it's so large it can't be manage

reporter: is the 0.5% growth something the administration feels good about? mr. earnest: we feel good about the longer term trends, the most effective measures of our economy. and even taking a look at the most components of output, which are consumption and fixed investment, those rose by 6 poirn 2%. indication of a durable economy demonstrating some resilience. there surely is more. we would like to see the numbers better. but our proposals have fallen upon deaf ears when it comes to the republicans who are in charge of congress right now. reporter: are you saying that the growth rate as it stood in the first quarter is an indirect result of republicans failing to go along with infrastructure, increase spending for infrastructure, minimum wage increases? mr. earnest: there is no denying there are a wide variety of economic indicators that would be stronger if republicans in congress had seized the initiative three, four years ago, and made critical investments in our infrastructure. as the vice president himself often says, we know we need it. it's not as if thi

. >> good morning, mr. vasquez. >> good morning. >> bergman: jose vasquez was a supervisor for abm. >> did you supervise maria magana? >> yes. >> is it fair to say that there were work sites where maria magana was the only janitor cleaning up the site? >> yes. >> did you have sex with maria magana against her will at the abm work site? >> no. >> did you rape maria magana at the abm work site? >> no. >> bergman: magana never reported the assault to the company or the police. and so vasquez was able to continue supervising women at abm sites all over bakersfield. several months later, abm received anonymous letters pleading for help, and alleging that vasquez had been in jail for sexual harassment. >> they received anonymous complaints putting them on notice of this sexual predator. they did nothing. >> bergman: had they checked, abm would have learned that vasquez was a registered sex offender who had served prison time for raping a teenage girl. in fact, abm never did a background check when they hired vasqu

mr. trump. arlene? >> good evening, mr. trump. i was wondering do you talk to your wife and children the same way that you speak at the gop debates? >> the same way? [ laughter ] i think i'm much nicer to them. i will say, you know, you talk about the debates, i never knew about debating. my whole life has been sort of a debate, but the politicians, they debate every night. i didn't know how that was really going to work out. and the debates, i love the debates. i really had fun with them. i think i've done well with them. i guess i -- i was the center stage every single debate. and i've really enjoyed it, but i will tell you, i speak to my wife and children much, much differently and -- but it has been an interesting process. they're always saying, be nicer on the debates. i say, they're coming at me from all these different angles, how can i be nice? but melania in particular would say, be nicer in the debates. i say, i can't do that. i have to win first. but we'll be nice. >> what do you say to them? because i think i saw, mr.

mr. earnest: that's a good question. obviously -- desk? mr. earnest: that's a good question. obviously this is an issue that will garner a lot of attention. there's not much i can say about it however because this is a subject of some ongoing litigation. you've seen recent announcements from the secretary of defense, ash carter, that would give more omen who are in the military the opportunity to defend their country in more roles and the president obviously has elcomed that progress. he certainly believes that makes our fighting forces even stronger. and the other thing that we know to be true is that men and men have served in our all-volunteer force in both iraq and in afghanistan with distinction and with courage and with bravery. and it's because of their service and their sacrifice, both men and women, that we're safer. and that we enjoy so many of the freedoms that are easy to take for granted. the president certainly does not take them for granted. and the president's often talked about how serving as the commander in chief of the united states military is the greates

mr. chairman. good morning, director cordray. mr. cordray: good morning. sen.ounds: not too much longer, and it will be good afternoon. mr. cordray: i was wondering myself. sen. rounds: in a recent speech before the consumer bankers association, you discussed your philosophy on consent orders. you said that -- and i will briefly lay this out -- our public enforcement actions have been marked by orders which specify the facts and the resulting legal conclusions. these orders provide detailed guidance for compliance officers across the marketplace about how they should regard similar practices at their own institutions. what i want to talk about a little bit, and my concern is, is that the consent orders, without a finding, or even an admission of guilt, the ally settlement is an example of that, could mean little more than a company's business decision to settle a lawsuit with minimal expense. my question is, do you agree for compliance officers to consider following a decree from another company, that decree should be a part of either a quart finding or contain

mr. greene: good morning, thank everybody for coming. am the senior vice president here, and we are pleased today to release a new report, prepared by andrew, whom i will introduce in a minute, who was available out front if you did not get one, in a minute. andrew has been here for about four or five months now working based on hisct experience in multiple stents in the australian government. he is now a distinguished and has fellow at csis come out of senior positions in australian government, most recently, the national security advisor to tony abbott and was also prime minister to john howard and has previously held senior posts in the department of foreign affairs and trade and he

mr. prager is kerry in connecticut. o. ahead. we are listening. >> caller: good afternoon, people. mr. prager, i get you in connecticut but if i did get you i would be listening because i agree with everything you ever said, everything. rush limbaugh, i listen to because i didn't and marc levin, i love you. he is a constitutional genius. i love ted cruz for the same reasons, and i wanted to say as far as god goes, okay, man is an intricate creature, okay? he cannot accept the idea of a transcendental god. i put it comes from his arrogance because in the bible it says the fool has said there is no god. my ways are not your ways. resource capitalism goes, if you've ever read ayn rand, okay, the was a big proponent of capitalism, she said if there were no rich or prosperous, the board would never be able to benefit. and jesus i've come to give you life abundantly. >> guest: thank you. agenda respond to those who differ more at greater length in those who agree. so thank you very much. you can podcast me, listen to be on the internet. in any event, thank you. >> host: if she were to find o

mr. wheeler: that's a good question. in beingn held up confirmed in the senate about six months. we were waiting, we were able to say, what are the things we would like to do? so, yes, we arrived with an agenda. >> what haven't you gotten to? mr. wheeler: oh, i would love to see the auction get completed. i would love to cs get through the issues brian raised. i would love to see us resolve the privacy issue. the cable top box issue. you look back, there are a lot of things that have been happening since november of 2014. brian: when you came into office, you had which wanted to get done. the merger of comcast was not an issue. net neutrality was not an issue. did those take you by surprise? did they come at a time when you trying to get other things done? mr. wheeler: we knew net neutrality was before the court and something could happen. obviously i did not know anything about comcast. one of the things about this that i wills it fun guarantee every day something happens i was not expecting. sometimes they are bigger than others. it makes it interesting. your colleague was on t

mr. chairman. good morning, director cordray. >> good morning. >> it's not too much longer and it will be good afternoon. >> i'm wondering myself. didn't know. >> director cordray, in a recent speech before the consumer bankers association one which senator toomey alluded to earlier, you discussed your philosophy on consent orders. you'd said that -- and i'll briefly lay it out. our public enforcement actions have been marked by orders in which -- which specify the facts and the resulting legal conclusions. these orders provide detailed guidance for compliance officers across the marketplace about how they should regard similar practices at the own institutions. what i'm -- want to talk about a little bit, my concern is that the consent orders without a finding or even an admission of guilt, the ally settle is an example of that. could mean little more than a company's business decision to settle a lawsuit with minimal expense. my question is, do you agree that for compliance officers to consider follow

mr. francis user expert in this area to give you a more thorough answer. there's more that could be done. >> good morning, mr. duncan. yes, i think one of the things we have talked about is portfolio management which is basically an approach for the department to look at its weapons assistant portfolio as a whole. because one of the looming problems for defense is when you get beyond the next five year plan bears much more demand for money, for weapons systems that money is available. so the department has to take a more holistic look across weapons systems to see what's the best mix of investments are for them. right now the department has multiple processes that are fragmented, requirements and acquisitions and the services all do their own things. we pretty much of a process that optimizes for individual weapons systems we need to look more across the board. >> thank you very much. the week before last i was on a trip with three senators and anoer member of the house, and we met with admiral harris who is the head of the pacific command. we were talking about the problems the defense departmen

mr. desaulnier. >> thank you for your good work, mr. dodaro. it's always interesting and thrilling to be here in this committee and see a government agency doing so well. not that a lot of government agencies don't do well. i want to ask you a couple questions just about our sort of segues from the last comment about oversight, but the comparison between the executive branch implementing your recommendations and how you measure that versus us in congress. i'm told this is a partisan issue, it just happens between the administration and congress, irrespective of who holds control over the levels of power. for instance, the gao has made 459 recommendations of the executive branch and 372 have now been fully or partially completed by your analysis. in contrast, the gao has made 85 recommendations for congress, but only 37 have been fully or partially completed. that's 46% as opposed to 81%. so over time, have you or your predecessors given friendly suggestions as to how we could be more successful? or is it just part of our role as a deliberative

good morning, bill. great to be with you. connecticut primary on tuesday? mrs. clinton right now holding, according to the latest poll, a 51% to 42% lead over senator sanders. but there's a lot of wiggle room. 18% said they may change their mind. >> well, i think it's gonna be close. certainly, i want all of our clinton voters to get out. our demographics are a little bit different than new york or the other states that are voting. but i think she is -- she's got a great closing argument, particularly in my state, where we take gun safety very seriously. after all, we were the state that had to suffer through the sandy hook school shooting. and there is a distinct difference between senator sanders and hillary clinton on the gun issue. i mean, he's voted against the brady bill five times. he's voted to give immunity to the whole gun industry, an immunity that doesn't apply to any other industry in the united states. and that's not the most popular position to take in connecticut. now before our courts brought by the parents of the sandy hook children who lost th

. >> after four months of good behavior, the classification committee has reviewed knight's request to transfer. >> mr. knight, good morning mr. knight. i'm lieutenant suarez. classifications. all right. we reviewed your file and you've been here in this jail for a little over two years now. you have not lasted very long in population. last time you were in population was in january. you made it two weeks. before that, it was -- i think it was may of last year. and you did make it about five months. so you have a history where you've demonstrated you can make it, but you've just been in segregation a long time during this incarceration. but to your credit, you've been down here, haven't gotten into any trouble over the last few months. so we've recognized that. you've requested to go back to population. we're going to give you a shot at population. >> ooh! god is great!

mr. eisen: good morning [speaking czech] welcome to the brookings institution for the latest in a series. in my speech, i quoted several times from the famous address to the u.s. congress of 1990. in february, 1990. that you willve not mind if i use the same address of the czechoslovakian president as my inspiration today, as well. he spoke about his vision of built onhich should be the foundations of general respect for human rights, pluralism, and freedom of choice. during and which orders will play a lesser and lesser role. until they become needed no more. his vision saw this comment at the end of his life already. onlye gains stability, not in the central and eastern countries, but also in the west balkans, which saw a lot of bloodshed in the 90's. the area which makes it possible to travel freely throughout the eu finally spread the total of 26 member states. unfortunately, as i said once before, none of these achievements is a matter of course. this fact has been revealed quite clearly. europe today struggles with problems on many fronts. the greek debt crisis, the illegal annexati

mr. president, good afternoon. the presiding officer: the senate is in a quorum call. mr. carper: i would ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. carper: mr. president, good afternoon. for more than a year now, as you know, because you have had the good fortune or bad fortune of drawing the short straw and sitting here when i come -- come to the senate just about every month to highlight the extraordinary work that's being done by the men and women of the department of homeland security security, and i'm here to do that again, too, today. the agency has so many talented folks and they do incredibly important work, so there is no shortage of material. as you know, mr. president, the department of homeland security is made up of 22, 22 component agencies and employs over 200,000 people. these men and women work around the clock to do the work they do and is designed to protect us all, protect our families and protect our country. we are reminded just last month how crucial the work that they do is. when terrorists attack a train st
