mr. nolty. >> michael nolty and i will start with ditto, but actually if you recall that i had a large issue around walgreens and i think that sometimes there was a point when david chiu was going to actually start the legislation to ban additional alcohol permits to pharmacies. but then, again, you have to also look at the big picture and that is we are losing our small pharmacies and then we have the big pharmacies and of course, obviously, walgreens has become the biggest on every corner kind of a thing at least in the district six. and i think that it is great to see a competitor come along and knock them down a couple of pegs and i have to be supportive of cvs and i think that they listened to us a couple of times and on the suter store they chose to do what they did there and when they did there and cvs decided for do their store at on 7th and market, they chose not to put alcohol and again they listened to the community and they started to understand, the community issues. so, i think when corporations understand or listens to the community and acts like a community partner, then they

mr. bennett, michael, summarized things well and made the case for something i had been saying all along, and that is i think the postal service really needs the freedom, the flexibility to operate like a business. those businesses that have remade themselves have been able to do that because they had the freedom to experiment and do things of a sort that stephen mentioned earlier. all along we have to be cognizant of the public service mandate the postal service has as articulated by mrs. kennedy. i think we can do that. i think working with congress, both houses -- as you know, the other body has not come with a proposal that is quite similar to the one that you have. there's more work to be done. i think, though, that the prospects are reasonably good because the situation with the postal service is so dire. i congratulate you on the progress this committee has made, and i urge your prompt attention to the nominations and to the prospective full board operating in high gear. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you all. those are wonderful. wonderful closing statements. let me add a coupl

mr. palmor, michael more rin, the former israeli ambassador to the united states, he was quoted in the "wall journal" by saying what israel needs is diplomatic cover at the united natio nations. most importantly he said this, "the best thing secretary kerry can do is stay out." do you agree? >> michael oren has spoken in his current capacity as a private person. we believe that we have no great ally than the united states. we have no better friend than the united states and we are very grateful for that friendship and for the united states' help and assistance over the years. i will also add that president obama and secretary kerry are israel's great friends and they have -- they don't need to prove that anymore. >> is united states and israel on the same page right now today? >> we are on the same page and we are clearly agreed that hamas should not be legitimized in its control over gaza and in its terror actions which are harmful, not just to israelis but also to palestinians, not just to people on the ground, but also to the possibilities of any diplomatic break through in negotiations f

. >> we have one more comment michael better rnick and then we are going into break. >> mr. chairman, i wasn't planning to speak. to tell you the truth, i was just here to see my daughter make the presentation. we've never met. i have nothing to do with uber. i have been on the board of bart and transit for many years and i think a lot of the questions that have been raised including by our friends with the taxi industry are good questions. but one thing i'm very involved with now is our autism community. we have a group calls ascend. which i'm going to invite you. very few of them driver. some of them have started using uber and it's opened up a whole new world in new options. it's a young industry here but all of us in the disability community should look at working with uber, the other ride sharing companies. i think it opens up in terms of transportation options, a lot of options that we haven't had before. again very good questions about where ub erer is in terms of jobs and i think it's something all of us would like to look into the future. >> any other comments. it's

and i believe michael, did [inaudible] come with you? i don't see him. did mr. mcray come? no. on the evening of june 4, susan was beginning her evening commute home. she works here in this building as the department of public relations and she boarded the ferry to oakland at about 5:30. as she was boarding she heard a cry for help. and so she was diligent and she kept listening and she determined that the cry for help was a voice coming from under the pier there at gate e next to sinbad's restaurant. she tried to alert the crew on the ferry, they weren't able to assist so she called on her cell phone back to christine, who is the director of development in the ferry building and alerted them that she was hearing a cry for help coming from the water. christine and isaiah, who is participant of the ferry building security director obviously you make great detectives and the fact you dropped everything to go see and look hard didn't give up when you didn't see him right away is really meaningful as well. of course, i don't think many of us in this room relish the idea of going in

mr. alan schwartz, who was joining us by phone. text michael moore, you have covered financials. you have covered wall street. talk to us about his history, his legend. he built the sperm from a very small firm into a huge force on wall street. was a significantly smaller firm when he took over, and became one of the giants in investment banking. one thing that is somewhat unique is, after he gave up the ceo title, he stuck around for another 20 years. that is something we rarely see, that someone sticks with the firm. he was there not just for his specific tenure, but over a much longer time. where wallink about street currently is, i think he would fit in as an executive now, because so much of the focus is on cost-cutting, and that was one of his big things, was keeping costs low. he used to tell employees to turn off the lights when they left, you know? i think that attention to detail would be very welcome right now. >> he was ceo for a long time. it was a very changing world when he was there. >> and he got into new businesses. investment banking had not been historically m

also joining us on the phone is michael goldfar, the former faa chief of staff. mr. ambassador, first to you, you spent several years in washington. you know the faa doesn't make these kinds of decision easily. are they doing the right thing, erring on the side of caution? >> well, the short answer is no. not being disrespectful to the faa, but i think this is the wrong dealing with the situation. first of all, el al, which is known for its high standards of security, is flying in and out. i think air canada is still flying. so from the perspective of danger, there is no danger whatsoever. we've been receiving all these rockets for almost 30 days now. it's not the situation of the malaysian airline which was hit directly by a specific missile that was supplied by the russians, to the russian separatists. they cannot hurt our airlines. so this is the first thing. and safety of course is above everything. and safety has not been compromised whatsoever. >> let me ask michael goldfar about that. you worked at the faa for a long time. clearly a decision like this is not a

mr. wood was dead. this is how reporters that witnessed it described, including michael kiefer, who will join me presently. >> usually takes about ten minutes, the person goes to sleep. this was not that. >> it was very disturbing to watch. you know, joe wood is dead, but it took him two hours to die, and to watch a man lay there for an hour and 40 minutes gulping area. >> it was an excruciating experience. >> i counted over 600 times he gasped. >> i can't imagine this is what the justice system hoped for when they came up with this new drug. at a certain point you wondered if he was ever going to die. >> but the family of the victims who also witnessed that execution saw it differently. >> everybody from what i heard said it was excruciating. you don't know what excruciating is. what excruciating is seeing your dad lying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister lying there in a pool of blood. this man deserved it. i still have to live the rest of my life without my sister and father. >> how would you feel if it was one of your family members? i saw the life go out of my sister-in-law. how is that suf

joining us now former secretary of homeland security michael chertoff. mr.ivate sector serving as the executive chairman of the chertoff group, a global security and risk management advisory firm. he has a piece in "politico" magazine titled "our new fear of flying" about the need to revamp global air security. michael, very good to have you on the show. >> good to be on, mika. >> mr. secretary, first of all, what are the biggest concerns in terms of global air security, not just in light of the recent aviation disasters that we've seen, but in terms of your knowledge of the situation? >> well, actually the terrible events involving the ukrainian shootdown are actually the least of our problems. it's not completely unknown to have a plane at altitude brought down by an airplane or a missile, but that's usually something that occurs when a nation state is involved. the bigger danger we face now are attacks on aircraft landing or taking off at a lower level that's within the range of a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile, or else the kind of attack on an air
