mr. peters? on this, he's endorsed my campaign, and he supports the repeal, and so do i. >> moderator: thank you very much. moving on to another lift issue for some -- difficult issue for some people, do you support legalized abortion and federal funding for legalized abortion? peters: i'm strongly pro-choice. i'm endorsed by the planned parenthood action fund where i received 100% on my scorecard and was proud to receive their endorsement. i believe that the government should not be involved in making medical decisions for women whether you're a libertarian or not, i just don't think that's an appropriate role for government. women are capable of making those decisions, they ought to be empowered to as well. mr. bilbray, unfortunately, scored a 9 on that scorecard out of 100 and voted to defun planted -- defund planned parenthood. i don't think he's been standing up for women's ability to make those health care decisions in the way this district deserves. >> thank you. bilbray: i have three daug

mr. peters, you first. icare go bankrupt or we have to stick to the benefit for seniors. we don't negotiate the cost of prescription drugs. we should do that to drive the cost down. we should be moving out fraud in overbilling, which the government account of office has identified as a real problem that maybe we can work to reduce their costs. take advantage of electronic records, wireless medicine to provide better care and we should be changing our health care system for for than a sick care system that rewards treatment and visits to a health care system that awards prevention. if we can delay the onset of the chronic diseases like congestive heart failure or diabetes in the general population by 10 years, we can make a huge reduction in the cost of health care. what i don't support us at the mine planted, which mr. bilbray supported, which is turning the program into voucher program and within seniors out with a certain amount of money into the marketplace that is not shown its competitive in a way that

let's check in with mr. peteroyle. >> thanks, jim. >> congratulations, patrick, i have your new pizza out here, the deep dish. now i have to right you a quote "pizza hut's ceo, not terribly worried about this competition" although i see he is worried about the pepperoni in tonight's presidential debate. >> well, you know what we, we'r not paying that much on the competition, but the pan pizza category is a 6 billion category in the 30 billion dollar pizza category. and that doesn't include, you know, the frozen pizza that is sold in grocery. so we look at it, we're going after a big part of the business here, so we could go after -- >> wait a second, you have an ad, just if you know what i'm referencing to with the debate, if somebody is asked preferred sausage or peperoni, they get a life time of pizzas. you have an ad where you're holding a frozen pizza dough, is there any chance that could be the frozen competitor's pizza dough? >> clearly it is a competitor's frozen dough, and we're making ours fresh, that is

i pose this question both to you as well as mr. peter, a friend of c-span.the book together. i'm trying to write a book on architecture, and i'm wondering where i can get images -- you know, purchase them for a reasonable price, of course -- where i can get images on a web site or someplace, and the other question i have has to do with the idea completion which means if i have an idea about a novel, how -- who should i go to to complete the idea in the sense of the drama and bring it, like make into a novel? i have the core idea, but i want to add color and writer's aspects to the book. >> host: all right. let's get an answer. >> guest: well, there are online photo galleries or big things, i believe it's called corbus where you can go and license -- >> host: getty. >> guest: yeah, the getty archives. >> host: but he also said keeply. >> guest: cheaply, that may be hard. i'm not exactly sure what the story is to that. you know, writing a book is a funny thing because on one hand it's one of the most solitary jobs in the world where you're just kind of sitting

mr. peters didn't even know about but it is a great step in the right direction. what i hope to do with your support, we can engage, we can work together, but we've got to keep both of us that have been identified of those who can work together in congress. and now is the time to build on those of us who are -- not structuring us apart. so with your support, we will not don't get congress moving forward, we will be up to save lives as we are doing it. thank you very much, and god bless. >> moderator: i want to thank both candidates, congress brian bilbray, scott peters, appreciate your insight. and the level to which it engaged. >> we are live this one at the american enterprise institute. they're holding a panel on the presidential race voting patterns and the latest polls. panelist will also examine the closest senate and house contests and we'll hear from norman ornstein, author of the new york times bestseller, it's even worse than it looks, and "washington examiner" michael barone. >> on behalf of my aei colleagues, michael barone, henry olsen and norm ornste

mr. crosby, what is your group's position on an internet sales tax. >> thank you, peter. we represent retailers across the board including some of the larger retailers in the country and in the world. they're interested in seeing after 20 years of discussion and debate a level playing field created, as steve says, through congress, that congress ultimately has the authority to regulate interstate commerce and we think it's appropriate with some of the legislation that is out there and some of the simplifications included in the legislations to make it so that all retailers above a certain threshold can collect taxes in all of the states where taxes are legally due. >> mr. crosby, what california did, is that simplification in your view and do you support it? >> california, we support the activities that california has undertaken. the important thing to understand is california, as steve said, is doing everything it can under the limitations that the supreme court has placed upon the states. ultimately congressional interintervention is necessary to insure that retail is t

peter. you get to close it out >> i think mr. romney really does have a plan.looks a lot like reagan and much less like bush than mr. obama claims. his program for trade and energy development, i think he was spot on in the debates in that regard, and that could create somewhere between 5 million to 10 million jobs pretty easily, and so i think that if we got the romney plan on energy and trade and got the obama plan on social insurance, americans would be very, very happy. unfortunately, they are only going to get one of these guys, and so they are only going to get half a loaf. >> nice to see you all. have a great weekend, everybody. >> thanks. >> up next, a career reboot. >> i was happy that i received the offer, happy i got to interview and happy i waited and took out all the risk. >> that's right. the going back to school gamble and how it's paying off for some job seekers. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] you've been years in the making. and there are many years ahead. join the millions of members who've chosen an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan insured by

mr. st. croix's unabated hostility to the task force and its work. thank you. >> peter warfield here. item 3 is listed on the agenda as consideration of draft amendments to the consideration of governing of the complaint of alleged violations of the sunshine ordinance and referrals of complaints from the sunshine ordinance task force. for those who have not read the paper copy of their own agenda. there is no indication on the paper copy that there are any documents whatsoever related to this agenda. and in fact i have in my chair next to me three documents that maybe related to this. and when you start talking about this section and that section, and decision points. are you talking about ethics commission regulations for complaints alleging violations of the sunshine ordinance? none of those words are in the agenda. or are you referring to another document called attachment "b" for regulations and enforcement proceedings. is that what are talking about? or my goodness is it this memo regarding sunshine ordinance complaints. it would be very helpful to everybody if you not only liste

>> i don't know what -- peter can probably answer that for y you. >> mr. chairman, the american legion takes very seriously the quality of our work and our training of our service officers. twice a year with better service officers through rigorous training to ensure that they have the qualifications, knowledge and skills, to not only produce quality fully developed claims that we submit to the va, but also to reduce the backlog because it's going to be a team effort to do that. we are going to have to have asked the commander said qualified, well-trained service officers to do this for. your specific question on the number that the american legion adjudicates, i would like to defer to our va director, verna jones who handles that area. >> thank you, mr. chairman. we actually see the report from the va just last week. i can take a number of claims. the american legion handles 244,000 claims and you. that's our number this year, 244,000. i'm not sure the exact percentage by the number is 244,000 for the american legion nationally. >> if he would just for th

mr. horton, california has recently changed how it manages or its taxation policies when it comes to the internet, hasn't it? >> guest: yes, peter, it has. it broadened the definition of what's taxable in california to include online retailers who meet certain criteria. >> host: now, you said you've broadened. how was it before, and now who is included? >> guest: prior to the law, the sales tax didn't apply to companies that had affiliates and worked through various different groups here in the state of california. the law broadened the definition of who actually qualifies to include those individuals. so now online retailers who have affiliates in the state of california who also have some form of brick and mortar either directly or indirectly working through other groups and partnerships and so forth have nexus in california by the definition of california law and, therefore, are required to collect and report the use tax to the state of california. companies that are now included would include amazon, best buy and walmart that are making sales online. there are other criteria that you have to make a million dollars, i believe

peter, member of the libraries commission. and as usual members have given wonderful comments and notes. and i would add to mr. grossman's comments, not only has the sunshine ordinance been able to meet. and neither have the subcommittees which are to do follow-up on prior matters and decisions and so on. the sunshine task force has it knee -- shot in the knees and unable to function any way whatsoever for the public. and i would agree with prior speakers and say that the agenda item which i would have more to say on, particularly with specifics. should strongly, you should consider postponing action. it's a little dismaying to come into the room and find 12 items i counted on the table. and not one single one appears to be listed as an explanatory document. now are you telling me between the time that the agenda was posted and these materials were provided to the members of your commission and the public. there was nothing available at the time? this agenda went out. you are mandated to show what the explanatory documents are that have been distributed to your body. and to do so on the agenda. otherwise there

. >> the question is chairman peter king, come back to you. do you think mr. romney should put this foreign policy leadership quotient or lack thereof into wednesday night's debate. i mean there's economic policy quotient that's going to be very important on leadership, what about foreign policy? >> yeah i think the lack of leadership in foreign policy shows itself in domestic policy. the president needs to be the president. he needs to be able to guide the nation, you can't do one without the other. if he has a policy of appeasement in foreign policy, that's going to bleed over into domestic policy. i would think that it's a very legitimate issue to raise, the whole issue of presidential leadership, the commander in chief and trying to lead the nation during very desperate economic times. if you're not a courageous commander in chief, you're not going to be able to generate confidence in the country to follow you on your economic domestic policy. >> i think that paul ryan is right, i think the security apparatus, at least as regards the middle east, the intel

he seemed to peter off a little bit at the end but what really got me mr. was at the end when the president once again made comment about the 47% and then he included in that veterans and students and i am in fact both a veteran and a student and i don't consider myself whatsoever to be of a victimized group of americans. you know, i think everybody needs to start standing up and taking personal responsibility of their own and not consider themselves victims but overall i think the governor did very well and as to the specifics, i really haven't heard many specifics come out of the democratic apart. >> thanks a lot, brian, for our call. on facebook, we have asked for comments but we also just have a very nonscientific poll, just people on our facebook page asking who won the debate. let's check in and see how it is. 1415 say barack obama and 928 say mitt romney. next, a democratic caller. caller: neither side has really given too much specifics on what they really plan on doing. i want to make one statement here for the fact that most people want to bad-mou

i was going to say peter, in terms of mdna i would like to if anybody from dubose or eureka valley or castro or other groups involved in negotiating things with the developer, mr. lewis's comment is right, this is more part of the mdna and some of the other areas. the future, the side of market street, invitations that there are such things going on the extent to the mission dolores neighborhood association. i think it would also, for staff, it would help especially in this case if the developer had a table or matrix showing the number of units, type of units, and square footage of the units. we are reviewing one project and my firm, project in san jose. there was a matrix showing the number of units and types, and square footage. these are too gross; these were by unit types. some of the two-bedroom units were bigger than others according to mr. pollock. i am supportive. i don't have anything else to add to the rest of the commissioners comments. make a motion to approve with conditions and adopt findings. >> second. >> i know there has been some mention in the documentation here. the ability to do on-site housing because of -- we might have disposes of an ar

you who want to jump in there and you know at the same peter if i could just interject if i just interject very very quickly here i mean i think that mr chair is right on a very important point here i mean what we need to first do is understand that there's a difference between value creation as profit and economic rent seeking as profit and we use the term profit today unfortunately to refer to both activities and we absolutely need to put a big barrier a big wall between them so that people understand that there's a big difference again between the you creation productivity increases and rent seeking off the system and we also need creative destruction is just as good as you know what you're saying and i go there we need financial reform ok we can spin not creating the right kind of profit for this for economies erick go ahead. or cover financial creative destruction ok well you know we were talking about we were talking about whether austerity is a politically desirable thing if people are going to resist it well and we're going to need it eventually anyhow as mr cheer says well you know one of the reasons that it's so politically
