in my city of sheffield, where i'm an mp, we've done some great things to do exactly that. that's the way to get burglary and crime down. >> jacqueline, as long as anybody feels unsafe, and as long as anybody feels insecure, even although crime is falling -- official crime figures show it's falling, and violent crime is falling -- i feel that we have got to do far more. and that's why there's three things i want to suggest this evening that will make people safer. one is we've got to have effective policing on the streets. police have got to spend 80% of their time now on the streets. we've got record police numbers in this country, and we want to maintain that level of police force over the next few years. the second thing is, parents have got to accept responsibility for their children. if an order is passed against a teenager, then the parent has also got to accept responsibility, and we're bringing that in now. the third thing i would say is this -- if you are dissatisfied with the way the police are treating or the police are dealing with your case, and you are persist

>> in my city, there are a number of people enrolled to receive food. >> how is the situation changed over the past few years? >> with the unemployment rate, people are spending less on food as they have to choose between food and other things. they cannot afford food -- food that is healthy because food that is not as healthy is usually the cheapest. also, as i mentioned, the soup kitchens used have and the seats. >> you interview volunteers at the food bank. what did you learn? >> two of the three i interviewed were volunteer coordinators. there was one volunteer that i spoke to who knew the owner of the food bank very well. they also rely on food stamps. he gave at a little more numbers and had more experience about what the difference was now versus a few years ago. >> tell me about the people who rely on the services for food. >> a lot of them are food stamp beneficiaries. they're not getting enough. the other 50% are people who should be getting food stamps. a lot of times, it is people who are new to this having trouble and are not chronically poor but that hit by the depressio

vision and policy program that he wanted to put forward and was much less concerned with the personal my cities and getting along with people. he could be rude to people but he was also brilliant and ineffective party leader in other ways. so again, this suggests there are multiple avenues for gaining influence in the senate. influence in the senate. a second thing that is missing so dismissed by people like william as wide and lyndon johnson actually were just isolated individuals. if you think about it, and put them all together, these are people who often were reelected many times and often have a big impact on public debate. they are really public figures working with liberal interest groups among democrats than among conservative causes such as those concerned about domestic communism among the republicans in using the senate as a platform to become important figures in the country , so i think this notion of the maverick is just lacking influence is wrong. you can see that echoed today, in greater frequency with some of the maverick senators today. and then, the final point i would make a

quote -- "i am writing about my city credimyst. credit card. the -- "i am writing about my citi credit card. my interest rate went from 12% to 29.9% overnight. i phoned them and was told it was not just myself paying that rate but everyone pays that rate. how can credit card companies let you make purchases on your account for a moderate interest rate and just mysteriously move to 29.9% overnight? i hope you are a able to pass your law to restrict credit card companies from abusing their power over customers." so the bottom line is, what we're saying is we intend to end this outrageous practice on the part of huge banks who are ripping off the american people. and what senator whitehouse is trying to do is say, let us go back to "the federalist" -- back to the federalist principles of this nation. both of us together are going to do everything we can to end this outrage. i applaud the senator from rhode island for his hard work on this. mr. whitehouse: well, let me thank senator sandersings who is a passionate and articulate consumer advocate,

i remained at citi until january 2009, and so was present when citi's problems occurred. in my view, there were two primary causes of these problems. first, citi, like other financial institutions, suffered large losses due to the financial crisis. i am told that citi has subsequently analyzed the data made available in connection with the 2009 stress tests, and has estimated that the losses in citi's businesses, other than cdo's, were roughly comparable to peer firms. second, citi suffered distinctively high losses, as a result of its retention of super senior tranches of cdo's. i remember learning of these super senior positions in the fall of 2007, during discussions convened by chuck prince, with the most senior management of citi, to discuss by then what was considerable turmoil in the fixed income markets. in considerable discussion on the fixed income business, i learned that citi's exposure included $43 billion of super senior cdo tranches. the business and risk personnel advised that these cdo tranches were rated aaa plus and had de minimis risk. my view, which i expre

even the chamber of commerce in my city said, we're for comprehensive immigration rereform as well. i'm not speaking for the united states chamber of commerce, but there are a lot around the country that know it's important. we have a coalition that's coming together, it's deepening and coming together to demand this. i guess my message, madam speaker is to say, never say that we can't get comprehensive immigration in 2010. it can happen with a strong will and with a committed champion and with people who demand it of their leaders who are charged with the responsibility of representing them in congress. i yield back to the gentleman. mr. polis: the people of this country are tired thabt problem being used for political purposes on the left and right. the american people want to see this issue solved. the american people are smart. they realize the longer we delay taking action, the bigger, the bigger the problem gets. our immigration laws should reflect our interests as americans, and our values as americans. but we need to treat this as something to solve, not an opportunity for p

this is my oklahoma sooners cell phone bid to be from oklahoma is to be from oklahoma forever. oklahoma citys so deeply in my heart. it bothers me when i see these things happening in my city and your city. i do not know how to route that out. it would be wonderful. i have many good friends in the oklahoma legislature. it would be wonderful if they came together and said, -- if they shot that idea down and said that is not acceptable. i do not know how we make that happen. it is a good question and a very disturbing question. >> any other questions? no? let me ask one final thing and we will let you get back to your day. i want to ask about another way of looking at the spikes in this kind of activity. on the one hand, we're going through demographic change. on the other hand, along the same line, we do have economic strains on average families. income has been strained since the 1970's. under george bush -- president bush, the median income actually declined after rising under president clinton. we did not see this kind of wave, as we did in the early 1990's with president clinton and unifi

>> yes. >> my understanding is citi extended $11 million to ware house lines. so in a sense, and i'm sure there are many other institutions that provided these, so you were providing fairly significant credit report. i guess my count there were about 26 of them across the country. let me start by picking up and saying when you said they are somebody we wouldn't be comfortable with, give me an example of entity either purchasing or providing the warehouse line. >> sometimes when we go to visit a company that wasn't a start up but hadn't been in business for that long, we would go out and conduct an onside review and meet with senior management. having done this and having people on my teams that had done it for many, many years, there's a reaction to whether or not the companies knows what they are doing. where that's the management, whether or not they are making money, what the business plan is. so there are con treat examples that you can look at such as profitability, but there's also a sense that, you know, maybe they are not ready to do business with us. ma

city. we had to put more barriers around federal buildings. against myng desires, i gave in to the unassailable logic that we had to close pennsylvania avenue, because the white house is a very old building and i saw the schematics of what would happen if timothy mcveighs fertilizer bomb in a pickup truck were just parked in front of the white house, which is much -- you know, and that street, pennsylvania avenue, is farther away from the white house by a good stretch than his bomb was from the murrah building. and still, because of the construction, they said it would blast out the windows in the old building and collapse the west wing, with potentially calamitous consequences for the government. and so we restricted access to pennsylvania avenue. but most of the consequences of this, i think we cannot fully appreciate. i think, first of all, oklahoma city impacted young people profoundly. hillary and i actually did our weekly radio address together one day, and we had young people who were profoundly troubled because theyd never seen kids killed before

my reaction to this sort of question and you hear it often in washington, washington is amazing city because of certain subjects we simply can't discuss and there are other subjects which are so popular and this is one of the frequent questions how can the palestinians quote if they are divided. are they so exceptional? the middle east is desperately divided. even in europe is divided on so many crucial issues. the united states itself is divided on so many crucial issues. i think we have to be careful not to take a patronizing tone with them. people have a constellation of different views i think the egyptian government must be pleased for wasting and sparing no effort to try and bring to the sites together. eventually this may well succeed. we hope they succeed the palestinians in sorting out the differences but is it so exceptional that we must place it higher upon the issues that require the urgent treatment? i.t. we as a people more generally -- when you look at the planet one can remark that a few took a treaty negotiated contractual treaty negotiated in the immediate aftermath

they were made by other mortgage companies and citi purchased them. and it was myto make sure that these mortgages met citi's credit policy standards. during 2006, and 2007, i witnessed business risk practices which made a mockery of citi credit policy. i believe that these practices exposed citi to substantial risk of loss, and i warned my business unit management repeatedly during 2006 and 2007 about the risk issues i identified. i then felt like i had to warn citi executive management. i had to warn the board of directors. about these risks that i knew existed. on november the third, 2007, i sent an e-mail to mr. robert rubin, mr. dave bushnell, the chief financial officer and auditor of citigroup. i outlined the business practices that i had witnessed and had attempted to address. i specifically mr. ruben about the extreme risks and unrecognized financial losses that existed within my business unit. i also requested an investigation and i asked this investigation be conducted by officers of the company outside of my business unit. my warnings to mr. ruben invol

i was in a factory in my own city where i'm an mp in sheffield just a few weeks ago. there was a great british company there, a manufacturing company, that produces great metal braces with these huge rollers, which apparently are sold to the american army. they attach them onto their vehicles, and when the rollers move over mines, the mines blow up, but of course, they destroy the rollers and not the soldiers. the american army says that those rollers, designed, manufactured by a great british business in sheffield, have saved 140 lives. why is it they're not being used by the british army? apparently they don't somehow fit on to the vehicles that our soldiers use. so i think it's not only that we've got to make sure that we don't waste money on bureaucrats in the ministry of defense and all the rest of it, and instead spend that on equipment for our brave servicemen and servicewomen, we should also use the knowhow and the manufacturing brilliance expertise in this country to provide our brave soldiers with the equipment which saves lives on the front line. >> every u

cities". >> mike: my wife and i were great parents until we had kids.ug things we said when we'd go to a place we'd see the kids doing things and i say you one thing. our kids will never, ever act like that. >> i thought we'd never bribe our kids. only give them dessert if they eat mare main course. >> yeah, right. >> one thing you talk about is don't ask your kids to eat something you wouldn't eat. >> we have a chapter if i wouldn't eat that, my kid won't either. we actually swore -- >> what kind of parents are you that you don't force your kids to eat junk you don't like. eat this, kid. "why?" because i said so. >> alex makes her own bread and ice cream. the kids get ice cream but she can reduce sugar in it. there is nothing worse than sugared-up kids. >> we live in new york city, and so many people say the new york city kids are jaded. even though we live busy lives we go out a lot, we have a show and we work full time, i make ketchup at home. >> you make your own ketch-up? >> yeah, because i don't want all sorts of stuff in it. >> mike: really? i me

a moment in my life when i was working for the ywca to 17 living in new york city. the time is up. then name of the book is "open wide the freedom gates." our guest is dorothy heights. thank you very much to what she was an activist and civil-rights leader boris 70 years of the protesters social worker organizer and public speaker pressure was president of the national council of negro women from 195-72-1958 and organize a national black family reunion celebration and she died april 20, 2010 at the age of 98.

i suggest the gentleman come to my city of chicago in the puerto rican community. there are many american flags, but two huge puerto rican flags. don't divide the puerto rican nation. it is a nation of people. it may decide that it wants to incorporate itself into the united states of america, but it always is a nation of people with inalienable rights with independence. don't divide our community. if you look at my birth certificate, it says puerto rico twice. mom and dad born in puerto rico and then says chicago, illinois. nine months earlier, i would have been in puerto rico. i'm separated by nine months. and yet, every fabric of who i am has a relationship to that wonderful, beautiful island, its music, artist try, poetry. one of the most beautiful songs was written in the united states of america and longing to returning to that island. just think a moment. think of the exodus of puerto ricans that left during 1950's during operation bootstrap. did they say great, we are in the united states and live here forever? no. the longing was return to that island. all

city agencies. >> that doesn't seem to be fair. i have to pay mytickets they need to pay their tickets. >> reporter: because the city can't say who got the tickets they stay unpaid. >> this is only a sampling of some of the problems in the district's motor vehicle fleet. we don't know the true extent of the problem but we better get to the bottom of it soon. this could mean hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars of wasted money. >> reporter: department of public works did not grant our request for an on camera interview but said in response to the auditor it is working on more comprehensive policies. gary none burg, 9 news now. >>> this is

in my work, i get to go to a different american city every week. as i go to the cities, i see people like the mayor in providence references cultural policy by using historical data about the industrial revolution in that city. i see the mayor of honolulu talk about religion and its basis for their cultures policies and city advancement. there are many other examples around the country. those things are the humanities, but very few people speak about the humanities. there is a disconnect with the citizenry in general. i think that is the case with the arts, t o zero, where people will talk about research -- the arts, too, where people will talk about in joining jazz or museums without realizing. i wonder if there is something about the concept of the humanities from a visibility and value proposition that you would suggest. >> what i think you are trying to say is that there is this concept that the arts are artsy. that somehow has an implication both of elitism and of non- strength. actually, the arts are about culture and they are about bringing

i would guess it was $1 trillion plus of transactions that went through citi every day , what you can do, and what in myjudgment citi did as being a member of the board, is making sure you have the proper people in place, trading, risk management, checks and balances functions which included our internal auditor, legal council, cfo and the rest. and you can be sure that you have robust processes at board level. which i don't think is any question that we had. as i think i mentioned earlier, reports to the board at every meeting about the risk and the institutions, and you were depending on those processes, on having the right people in those jobs, which i think we did, and depends on the processes be robust and active. >> aisle going to make the -- i'm going to make one more comment. you were a garden variety board member. you can characterize, i think to most people chairman executive of the board of directors implied leadership. certainly $15 million a year guaranteed assumes responsibility. i just think -- excuse me mr. prince, when he resigned said it was the honorable thing to do. i just my point i

my regular residence where i would be brought to the city almost every day which i was so i wasn't real happy about it. my wife was quite upset with it and most of those who were involved in watergate were quite shocked that it wasn't even broader. but something i never asked for or wanted. but i think that in the long run it was the right decision and i think while ford suffered his ability to win the presidency on his own as a result of the pardon was just enough people who felt strongly about it and would have made a difference in that election had that not have been the key issue. but it's pretty ugly to contemplate any former president of the united states on trial for what happened during nixon's presidency. there is a real question as to whether nixon could have ever received a fair trial if the well hadn't been so plays and from which mutual taurus you'd never find a juror that could give them anonymous reading. he had some defenses. i saw a lot of this material, a lot of this activity was in his mind national security activity. the motive in fact went to visit after he had been

my daughter. >> that's the voice of a kansas city mother whose now 21- year-old daughter filed a civil lawsuit against her former switch coach. 43-year-old robert. he is now employeed as a coach with the swimmers in manassas. >> he started sexually grooming her, befriending her, creating an atmosphere of, you know, all powerful, you need me. >> the suit also names u.s.a. swimming, swim clubs in missouri, and aaron dean, who is now the swimmers general manager. and was her supervisor in missouri. >> the mother of the plaintiff sent me this letter that her husband wrote two years ago. in it, he details the alleged misconduct of rob and says that he should be permanently barred from any coaching activity. when they learned that he was coaching here in virginia, they were shocked. >> we are supposed to be protecting these kids, and when that is not happening, it really makes you feel sick. >> the lawsuit and others have sent shock waves through the swimming community. greg york, the general chair, the governing body over swimmers, says they are coming up with new guidelines to protect swimmers and coaches

my name. i went there shortly after september 11th in november of 2001. i was working at the kansas city star which is part of a large newspaper chain and editors needed people to go overseas and i volunteered. >> what were you writing about before -- it could be anything >> how did that decision change your life? >> i hadn't even know where afghanistan was and began a review about it. it took me across the globe outside of my 9-5 existence to see of culture radically different from my own and a country that experienced 30 years of warfare had just been devastated, the kind of devastation i had only seen in photographs of world war ii with pictures of europe after the allies -- >> did you embed? >> i did in 2003 with the 82 airborne. >> this was right after 9/11. where were you and what did you cover? >> i arrive toward the end of november 2001 and i connected with a gentleman whose name was muhammed and he would always correct me because he felt the wasn't pronouncing it correctly so i started calling him borrow. , was interviewing his uncle which was trying to clear afghanistan of all

my name. >> where were you? >> kabul, afghanistan. >> why? >> i went there shortly after november 11th. i was working at the kansas city star. the editors needed people to go overseas. i've volunteered. i have not worked overseas. i saw it as an opportunity. >> what were you writing about before you went over there? >> daily stories, feature stories, anything from dog of the week to local news. so afghanistan was certainly quite a jump. >> how did that decision change your life? >> well, you know, i did not even know where afghanistan was to be candid. it gave me a perspective. across the globe outside of my day-to-day 9-5 existence. seeing a culture just radically different from my on in a country that experienced 30 years of warfare. just been devastated. a kind of devastation i had only seen in photographs of world war two and pictures of europe after the allies' victory. in 2003. >> tell us what you did? where were you and what did you cover? >> i have arrived toward the end of november, 2001. i connected with a gentleman who would always correct me. he thought i wasn't pronouncement directly. after calling him breaux. >

giant malls empty, whole cities empty. my guess is this is probably at some point it begins to run its course in late 2010, 2011. >> rose: and then what happens. >> i don't know. that's a good question. it depends how the... the government clearly... everyone's looking to the government. and i think the most cogent argument against our case is not that there isn't a property bubble or bull market going on, it's this the government will handle it. >> rose: exactly. >> and that will be the interesting question to see how it does handle it and how it handles foreign investment money that will be clammering to get out, how it will handle people clamoring to be bailed out just like we were. whether the government will penalize western speculators more than chinese speculators. will it penalize speculators at all? we don't know. will it simply inflate the currency to bail out everybody else? it's a closed system, so it could be handled in a lot of ways. >> rose: but on the other hand, it has a group of leaders who have recognized i

my whole career. i never had any idea it was going to be this good. i have finally come to realize how screwed up this city is. it has a language of its own. for example, a deep background means you will be quoted in the game change. senior white house official whimeans rahm. reconciliation means war. only in washington. but actually it -- you did not believe the president saying he would rather be with you, ed did you? come on. y'all ought that slow. it is good to be with you.
