mr. oliver's word with grain of salt. i don't believe anything he is saying high pressure he's there in order to try to credit mr. zimmerman and discredit mr. martin. >> in the sound bite we played earlier in this program, mr. oliver said he knows that word is a term of endearment. goon is a term of endearment in high schools. i thought the shooter was 28 years old. how would he know what george zimmerman was saying and what it would mean? how credible is joe oliver out there drawing conclusions. it just really plays into some kind of coordinated offensive that's being put out by zimmerman's camp to discredit the victim. >> that's all it is. i think this is just a rehearsal from mr. oliver to make mr. zimmerman look good. he's also making him look bad because there's nothing that mr. oliver can say in order to try to change what was on the 911 tapes or the evidence that should have been collected by the police department that night. >> give us the mood of the community there. a lot of intense media pressure, meetings, dem

mr. oliver can say in order to try to change that was on the 911 tapes or the evidence that should have beenlected by the police department that night. >> mr. clayton, give us the mood of the community there. a lot of intense media pressure, meetings, demonstrations, advocates speaking out. what's the mood of the community? and tonight's meeting? >> yeah, the mood is they are very unhappy at the moment. there's a lot of unrest in the community. of course we are trying to provide some type of way they can actually vent that frustration without taking it out on other folks in the community. this is our community. we have to live here. i understand that a lot of national figures are going to be coming in and revving the community up. once they are gone, we are the ones that have to put the flames out. the community is in an uproar at this moment but we are doing everything we can to try to contain that. >> turner clayton, junior. thank you for your time tonight. thank you for joining us on "the ed show." >>> jeb bush signed stand your ground law in to law in 2005 and now he is breaking his sile

mr. oliver and mr. mclaughlin, which effects do you think the current regulatory environment will have on many of these new innovations, and has the uncertain and really the changing regulatory environment had an effect on or slowed the evolution of many of these new products? we'll start with mr. oliver. >> that's a great question and one of the important questions we discussed within this work group. and one of the reasons they asked to us try to rationalize the regulatory infrastructure that might be in place, begin that most of the payments will be made using existing instruments, i think people are comfortable where that is right now and there appears to be no serious legislation on the horizon to change that. i think the real issue here has to do with both places where gaps occur where different parties are involved in a transaction now than having typically haven't been involved before. the fcc overseas the wireless industry but have no experience with payment. many of the payment firms have noer

mr. oliver, i'm just curious. you say you have known george zimmerman for six years. >> yes, i have. >> but you say you were close friends with george zimmerman. however, he never shared with you -- >> no, let's back up. no -- >> what you're not going to do -- >> you're going to continue mischaracterizing what i have said because a lot of times -- >> you said you were friends with george zimmerman. however, he never shared anything with you about his past, his violent past. he never shared with you whether or not he had been through any anger management courses. you said yesterday on television you have not physically laid eyes on george zimmerman since a week before this incident and have not to this day. how can you claim that you are a close friend of george zimmerman when none of that is true of you? you don't really know george zimmerman if you don't know those things about george zimmerman. and if you don't know where george zimmerman is, and if you have not seen him in over a month and you have been out say

mr. oliver. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you mrs. secretary for being who are today. it may surprise you, but i think you've actually put forward a fairly reasonable and responsible budget. i wanted to just clarify a few things. you referenced in your testimony that the r&d we do is 5, 6%, and that of china is something like 20%. can you tell me -- china is a very special emerging economy, growing and emerging economy. the other two largest, japan and germany would be the third and fourth largest economies after china and the u.s. what are the r&d budgets they put forward? >> off the top of my head, i can't really say exactly how the r&d budgets, but i can say that certainly china especially has a very strong commitment to those industries which china deems would be an important part of their economic prosperity and future. and for that reason, that is why they are investing in many -- they want to diversify from coal. they are heavily dependent on coal. they are investing in nuclear reactors. they are going to be the biggest did he employer of wind and solar in the w

mr. oliver speak on these two issues. unfortunately he is alone with the ethics commission and i would like to know why whistle- blowers' suddenly lose their jobs. second, one item that should be considered is a sign that residency statement by all candidates, especially by incumbents. let's put this way. that ethics commission has not given a written opinion as to a 2008 written complaint regarding eight residencies date controversy about a sitting supervisor. you tell me it takes that long to put that in motion? you read between the lines and figure out what is really going on. second, there should be some sort of discussion about the mayor of writing a regular column for the examiner. in my opinion, that is too cozy a relationship and how can the examiner honestly criticized the mayor when he is on board as one of their regular columnist? the last thing i would like to question is when somebody has a large campaign debt and tries to go to functions to pay down the debt, and laid my book and in the books of many other p

mr. oliver there is a friend of george zimmerman. he maintains zimmerman, according to the police report, was acting in self defense and that the cries of that 9-1-1 tape that are so gut wrenching are of zimmerman. a woman who says she saw trayvon martin in his final moments has a trekked account of what happened that night. >> it sounded young. it didn't sound like a grown man. when the gunshot went off, the crying stopped. if it was semmerman that was crying or whining or whatever because he was hurt or i think it would have continue teed. sfwl witnesses went onto say that zimmerman had his hands pressed on martin's back and never tried to help him or perform cpr after the shooting. meanwhile, trayvon martin's father express his gratitude for the support of the miami heat. dewayne wade tweeted a photo of his teammates wearing black hoodies in a team tribady to trayvon martin. former vice president has suffered five heart attacks in his lifetime. the first in 1978. in a statement, the cheney family says while they do not know the id

mr. oliver and mr. mclaughlin, 160 think the current regulatory environment will have on many of these new innovations? as the uncertainty with the changing realtor in front had effect on our slow the evolution of many of these new products? start with mr. oliver. >> that's a great question and one of the questions we discussed within this worker. one the reasons they asked us to try to rationalize the regulatory infrastructure that might be in place. given that most of the payments will be made using existing instruments, i think that people are pretty comfortable with where that is right now and there appears to be no serious legislation on the horizon to change that. i think the real issue here has to do with those places where gaps occur, where different parties are involved in the transaction now and having typically been involved before. the federal communications commission, for instance, overseas the wireless industry but have no experience with payment. many of the payments has no expense with

mr. oliver, you're not a close friend of george zimmerman.t best, judging from your last answer, you're really just an acquaintance. >> well-- >> you don't even know the guy that well. it's unbelievable. all right, so as you can see this so-called zimmerman defense is in a world of trouble here. all right, now i want to bring in my guest here. i've got a professor from usc. jody david armor is a professor from uusc law school. i want to talk to him about. before i go to him--well there he is actually. professor armor, great to see you here. first of all you're a law professor. is stand your ground even applicable here? >> it may not even be applicable since he pursued him, he was the initiator and provoked the encounter. even though it it may not applicable, he may have a defense. >> what was that. >> he thought this young man was about to attack him. that's all the self defense law boils down to, would a reasonable person in the situation of the defender think that he was about to be attacked attacked. >> about to be attacked or about to los

mr. oliver, is claiming it was him calling for help. now an eyewitness has come forward calling himself john who says he saw that it was george zimmerman calling for help. does the martin family still firmly believe it was their son? >> yes, we do. but anderson, go back. zimmerman admits he gets out of the truck when they tell him not to. i think we've got to stay on the facts of the case. to go straight to the incident that happened -- trayvon isn't here to tell his story. mr. zimmerman could tell us anything. along with the few witnesses that are there. they contradict themselves. so what should happen is that since the witnesses contradict themselves, that's probable cause. arrest him. >> you said he will be indicted with a federal hate crime. why is that? >> well, i think it's a very, very high standard. and i think that if you look at the statements that were made initially by the justice department is a guarded statement. what i said over the weekend is the standards are a lot lower in state court. that's where there's a better ch

mr. zimmerman's defender, joe oliver, who used to be a newscaster apparently has not talked with him as one might think. he said today that if zimmerman had not shot trayvon martin, trayvon martin would have shot him. this is an attempt to paint the picture of a dead man, a teen, capable of homicide. who is joe oliver, and where is he getting this stuff? >> joe oliver has become sort of the person of the moment that has shifted the attention away from zimmerman. and so now he's taking fires. we've seen in the last 24 hours, he's taking fire from supporters of trayvon martin from all sides questioning his relationship with zimmerman, questioning what he knows about the case. one thing that was interesting when i was talking with trayvon martin's family lawyers today, with joe oliver talking with some specifickics of what he said happened in the case, it races the question of whether or not joe oliver will get a visit paid to him by cory's investigators. >> the court documents that have shown that george zimmerman had his problems with the law including an arrest for resisting an officer with

joe oliver, mr.friend, had this to say about what george zimmerman told him about that night. we'll discuss on the other side. >> it came down to a life or death struggle between the two. i can't go into details how the gun came into play, but it was not a part of this story until it was too late. >> so it seems as if he's intimating there was some fight over this gun and that trayvon martin didn't see the gun until he got into some altercation with george zimmerman. what do you make of this? >> oliver was not there. the people i take seriously were the women who were witnesses of this thing and saw the aftermath to this shooting. of course joe oliver as a friend will say these things. someone is rolled out there to try to back up the story. they had a month and a couple of days to get the story together. they are doing everything they can to piece together and argument. the 911 tapes show this man was the aggressor. the 911 operator said don't follow him. we know what happened. george zimmerman need
