or not to the highly secretive, we do not know. the ethical difficulties with each group, which for all difficult. there were all different. afghan was averment not distort. the cable gate staff had all kinds of issues. are we going to publish these ould we redact them?cti >> with a relatively -- it went against some of what had been said previously about putting raw data. >> that was the first counter clash. wikileaks came to us from the point of view of assuming it would be publish raw and from the point of view of total transparency. by the end of the exercise, by december, wikileaks had essentially adopted the position of the mainstream organizations, which was a measure of redaction was necessary. they adopted all of our projections. these tubes different cultures began in different places. >> one of the questions that comes over again is you have explained a little bit about why you have collaborated and this is a unique organization. you're saying the right decision and that the media was pretty global, do you think you woul

but it is not an income tax, it is not tied to your income, and it is not top -- not an excise tax. it is a direct tax. it is one of reasons they did not selling as the tax when it went through congress, because if it was a direct tax it would be unconstitutional. there was a promise made, as i recall, that this was not going to be a tax. because of the way it is structured, it is not a constitutionally permissible tax, and that it means we are without it being a tax. this the power to regulate commerce among the states, even expansively interpreted in the new deal and picked up in the medical marijuana case to regulate things in the economy that a substantial effect on interstate commerce -- cannot force me to make you engage in congress? can i make -- can add that forced me to make you engaged in commerce? there will be four solid votes to say that it is unconstitutional. i think justice kennedy will go towards the unconstitutional side rather than the constitutional side. >> anything more? >> sure. so many things -- [laughter] johns as congress cannot force people to engage in ec

we do not work for you. you regulate us, but you do not pay our salaries. you do not pay our health benefits. >> i am a driver. about the electronic waybills, do all of you put out your contract in one disk and let us have a record of what contacts he made with your clients, what money you collected? we do not. do we ask the millions in this country how much money they make? we do not. they have their own system. 90% of them steal the money every day. millions of them do not report their information correctly. 90%, no. and electronic waybill means everything on one disk. how many things can go wrong? one day, it can go way wrong. one day it can go wrong. that this -- you are slaughtering the industry, the drivers future. an electronically bill is no good for the drivers. -- an electronic waybill is no good for the drivers. you do not pay them a health care or pensions. you do not give them anything. it is brought to you by lobbyists and cap companies who brought you through a certain way. they are going to benefit out of it. the way bill costs $300 a month.

we do not fully -- i do not fully understand how. we are seeing in libya what is happening when that mitigating factor is not there. i wonder if you can speculate on especially in the case of tunisia, what is going to happen if this and -- the uneven results are that the army is compensated or rewarded for its role. and contributes to less. that is something that has been troubling me. that says to me that because of what was said about dignity which i completely agree, we should learn as operational -- as institutions to operate outside our countrcomfort zone. it is comfortable but blinding in the sense that we missed a lot -- i am happy to hear what you say and the economy is being rehabilitated but it is late. if you think of the lack of operating outside our comfort zone has done in africa, i am thinking about sub-saharan africa. as a field for the next explosions. maybe technology is not there is much but the other two factors that was mentioned, corruption and unemployment of youth is there as well. the question is, you have no

ladies and gentlemen, is not to say that we do not have- it is not to say that we do not have to get our house in order. we have a herculean task ahead of us. our long-term debt is simply not sustainable. we all agree we have to act. but this is why there are two parties. we have differe prescriptions on how to act on this. we agreed we have to cut spending and get the deficit under control. repuicans want to cut the deficit, too. and so we -- and so do we. some had to decide how much and how? we have cut out programs we cannot afford any more. and the programs we created we think they're doing good. we talk about community action programs. the mayor in this cit cares about those, i expect, like every mayor around the country. but we cannot afford it today. what we are cutting is not just waste. we have to actually cut some muscle. we have called on a five-year freeze on discretionary spending, on un-related security. over the next three, you will see a red book where the devil is in the details. when i was a senator, i would hear a president, democrat or republican, say where is the

not so good. but we emerged from our despondency when a conservative did not win the white house, but he was a champion of our founding principles. he emerged as a champion of expanded liberty, limited government, one who had the uncanny ability to connect with and inspire the american people. he spoke with convictions, not from a teleprompter. [applause] that champion was ronald wilson reagan. he did not win an election that year, but he inspired a movement to return to its founding principles home and champion of our founding principles of limited government with unabashed enthusiasm. his ideas were mocked and belittled by the establishment on both the left and the right. he was personally derided and taunted. he was inspired. he was strengthened and he only fought harder. we had strayed so far from the vision of ronald reagan, the media and many on the left, they even declared the end of conservatism. then seemingly from out of nowhere, another leader emerged. a woman of humble origins. an entr

cbs outdoor were not paying for their advertising sign. that is not true. there were just paying the wrong property because they did not know it had changed. it said all attempts to contact the company had failed. that is not correct. it says it would be a logical outcome to seek resolution of this problem. perhaps one goods sold simply suggested to remove the sign -- perhaps one good soul simply suggested to remove the sign. that gouod soul was the lawyer. what happened here is he dictated this termination letter to mrs. ramos. it was not forged. it was drafted by her attorney. it did not happen until a year later, when she realized she could not put up her own son, that she objected to it. she did not object before that. >> thank you. mr. sider? >> members of the board, good evening again. dan sider, planning department's staff. to get it out of the way, i draw your attention to the similarities between this matter and the one you just heard, particularly planning code section 604, the removal of general advertising signs. procedural background. this is a

it is not very smart and not very good.ery hard to say that in a way that does not disparage the view that you are telling other courts not to take. it is not that unusual for people, when you do not use the insult, they can read it between the lines. s so the small depression is that the pieces that are most contention of the intellectual property cases, and because people comment on their ideas, they think they have copyrighted it, it is like you are stealing them. the judges are very much the same way about their opinions. all i can say is, you can understand this and i think you ought not to go out of your way and be very careful to be respectful, but ultimately a hard-hitting dissents will stain. -- it will aim at the core problem. if it is really well done, it will cause someone to change his mind. i went to the center of three or four years back, i issued, and after it came out, [unintelligible] they could send it back to the district courts and i thought it was a victory. ultimately, my thought was that i was being

it was not. robert gates had a fight on the f-22 and demonstrated far more skill in dealing with congress and donald rumsfeld ever did. i am not a big fan of gates, but he is a breath of fresh share fresh air compared to donald rumsfeld. >> why do you feel that way about donald rumsfeld? >> i saw your show last week and was reminded how aggressive and petulant rumsefeld was. and petulant rumsefeld was. the thing that came to mind this morning was when he used the word "conspiracy" with the initiation of the war in iraq. he was trying to prevent you from using that word. but behind all of that bluster and tough talk, there is not much there. donald rumsfeld was one of the most unsuccessful secretaries of defense that i have ever observed in 30 years of covering -- 40 years of observing the pentagon. an amazing combination of tough, aggressive talk with a failure to cope with issues as they are. he certainly thinks he understands things, but he has this superficial view about a lot of these issues,

it does not make sense. we are struggling to meet infrastructure needs for existing plants we have already improved -- already approved. the thought of adding more infrastructure needs that are going to go unrealized is a difficult thing to consider. it pains me to hear that a lot of this is displacing people, and not the kind of affordable housing we were hoping for. >> to commend the commission, the parkmerced coming forth -- those plans help address transit needs by attaching to every household requirement of pain for a transit pass. that is tightly linked to the ability to fund transit and provide service with the growth, unit by unit. we need a transit pattern as we grow our city. commissioner borden: thanks. president olague: i want to thank choo-choo for being here. you are speaking to growth and equity. i want to thank them for bringing this issue to us on the assembly we are hearing the housing element. i think it is critical that we look at this bigger picture and bring some of this discussion into

not sudan, not the irians. israel. we're talking about tens of millions of young people who do not remember the catastrophe that 67 or 73 brought egypt. >> a question right here. >> my name is ron, aetired international development consultant. while i appreciate the need for a maturity or maturation process for civil society so that the institutions of democracy are strong, it seems that there will be an election in september. the scenario there, according to what you haveaid and what we read, is that the muslim brotherhood is likely to be in power. if that is the case, the u.s., if they follow what they did in gaza to not recognize hamas, will not recognize the muslim brotherhood, which will cross the street to erupt again -- cause the street to erupt again. we will be in worse trouble. i would like to hear your predictions. what will be the result of the elections in the fall, or do you suspect there will not be? >> i think there will definitely be elections in the fall. how those elections -- of course, we'r

we will not stop and our efforts to spend it -- cut spending, not -- we will not stop here in our effortst when we are broke and washington's spending binge is making it harder to create jobs. maria,k, you're next, independent line. caller: thank you for taking my call. i am very proud of the young in the -- hello? host: you were there. caller: i am proud of the young men, the freshmen that we have sent it congress. we've had transparency, we have had open debate, and we had the opportunity of listening to them, going to the primary sources and sticking to the fact of what was going on. as far as the cuts, i believe that if we do not make these cuts, we will have no jobs to go to, we will have no country left, and we will have chaos so that we have to make the sacrifices to bring our country back onto its feet. it is important. we are americans. we are proud to be americans. and we need to stick together and work together to bring our country back on its feet. host: rate in florida. caller: i am 100% disabled, a veteran, gulf war, 1979. you have to balance your budget. you cannot spend an

it is not a huge project. i was told the improvement club came about to prevent the demolition of single-family homes to build large apartment complexes. this is so far from that i am surprised they have gotten themselves involved, especially with the fact that the club has been somewhat self-destructive. i think a lot of the neighborhood has been soured on the club and the way it is run. i think that is an important thing to think about, for and against this. those are my main points of wanted to say. the project seems to be reasonable. it is not very big. president olague: thank you. are there additional speakers on behalf of the project sponsor? seeing none, dr requestors have two minutes each of rebuttals time. >> i have been through a lot in terms of cyber bullying, i would say, in e-mail. i would like to give you a few facts. the sponsors are originally told dhic that there was only one neighbor that accepted -- that objective. later, after the initial hearing about it, a bunch of neighbors came to me an

the people said, do not deliver a vote if i do not want it, but that is not what is going to have an -- a book if i don't want it, but that is not going to be what happens. >> i would like to give president chiu a chance to respond. >> white pages are required by the state, or i would have considered as well. they could publish white pages separate from yellow pages. i am not sure i understand the specific confusion, but five is the answer. -- but that is the answer. the fact is 150 people not getting 150 books -- we have 1.6 million books being delivered. if we don't have yellowpages, that's illiminating 2/3 of paperwork, and that is the cost to the city. it is suggested the books are recyclable, but if you were to speak to the company responsible, they will tell you it is difficult to recycle these phone books, and the reason is they are different. it is not like a glass bottle or a can. we observed how the phone books get ccaught on the conveyer belt and have to be pulled off by hand. i think it is a red herring to say they are recyclable. they are, but at a tune of $1 million to

>> we do not know, a supervisor -- do not know, supervisor campos. supervisor campos: may be the department of environment can provide that information. >> we do not know that right now. we can get this on transportation within the city. the whole set of information, and as i said, we took one year to go through the rate process. i do not know if we have been a rough figures on how it is broken out. we can get that for you. we certainly have that. supervisor campos: i think that would be helpful. to be honest with you, i am surprised, given the value of the package that we do not know that breakdown. $206 is a lot to ask of ratepayers. i am surprised we would not know what amount goes into transportation, refuse collection, and disposing of the refuse, but if you can -- >> we certainly have all of that information. supervisor campos: but not here. >> yes, not here. we have all of that. the department of public works was significantly involved in the process. supervisor campos: thank you. i have a clarifying question to the city attorney's office, if

it does not speak to whether you're going to do it or not. that action in terms of whether the board is implementing employee parking or not was made back at the approval of the budget. >> we did that in the budget. my question to this is now we're going to enforce this policy, if this passs with this penalty, the -- does staff have a plan to address the situation, where for example you have a mechanic who is working from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., and these odd off-hour shifts. is that something that will be addressed as this plays out over time. maybe the better way to ask, what is your reaction to that specific concern? >> in our discussions regarding this, clearly there's no one size fits all. while we have -- a memo that came out on inadvertently, our plan is to be sensitive in how we implement this. we value the employees that work off hours and the impact this will have on them. we'll work facility by facility and deal with the unique situations and work environments to make sure there's no -- no overarching burden on our employees. it i

she did not vote for me. she does not agree from me. and from all look on her face, i suspected she did not like me much either. [laughter] but she felt the need to come up and tell me that. listen, most people admire leadership. and i suspect that most people want to be led if they believe they are being led in a direction that is inherently good and right. so the job of those people who have been fortunate enough like me to be given the responsibility and privilege and the opportunity to lead is a to lead. it is to leave for every day that you have the chance to do it appeared some days -- it is to lead for every day that you have the chance to do it. if that is your cup t, come to new jersey. if it is not, stay away.

it was not just march 2. it was all the bad experiences that i have had as a child at that young age that i should not have had to have gone through. there was a lunch counter. i still tell everybody i love the smell of that by then 10 -- that five and ten. i looked over and saw these little white kids sitting on coca-cola -- sipping on coca- cola. they were eating double-decker'' sandwiches, and my mother was looking away, and i sneaked over there. i knew she would come over there and buy me one. she came back and grabbed me by the back of my collar and pulled me -- she said, "i told you, that is for white folks." you learn at a very early age. she said, "honey, are you hungry?" i was not hungry, but i saw what those white children had. those are the little things that stick in your mind as you grow up. and another thing you learn about trying on clothes in the department store. all of that was going on in my mind at a very young age. what really set it off -- i had two teachers -- during february, we did it

they do not like taxes but they do not talk on taxes. i do not think you are ever going to come to a bipartisan deal with it you think he will continue to give tax breaks to people who make millions of dollars a year. i do not think that is going to happen. i am not and willing. democrats were very upset with me. i'm not afraid in making cuts. the government has to provide a safety net. the government has to provide for a defense. i think we ought to go back to the tax rate. this is one reason why they were able to balance the budget. adding republicans get a lot of credit for it. one thing i think we ought to do -- we are not doing much in creating jobs. they are starving for capital. it is in the last places in the world where we have a huge advantage. this is not help the economy. what helps the economy is investing in biotechnology. i will get rid of all the preference for capital gains. you pay 0% tax unless you earn it. america needs to be great again and get back into manufacturing. >> there are a couple places -- to describe taxe

people are not able to get to school if the cannot eat and do not even have breakfast. i think the city has a lot of money. we need to make sure these are implemented. supervisor campos: next speaker. i am going to read a few more names. pilar gonzales, who i think already spoke, emily lee, and others. >> if you do not mind, we have a presentation on behalf of more public transit the we are going to give. supervisor campos: the need any help with that? >> oh no. supervisor campos: is the audio working? i don't think it is working. someone is coming. why don't we go to the next speaker while we figure this out? next speaker, please. >> my name is carmen lee. i am a san francisco housing authority member in hunters point and a member of power. i urge you to support this, to pass this resolution calling for free fast passes. not only do i think that youth, low-income youth from all over the city, should get frites fast passes. i think all youth should get free fast passes, considering they already have enough stress getting to and from school. the kids do not need any more

they could not think this is an outsider who do-- to does not respect us. so the first duty of someone to be helpful from the outside is to make sure you know, what the heck you are talking about. not only that the but knowing it is rooted not in contempt for other people but as a concern for the girls whose genitalia are being cut or the women's foot binding are those who are risking being assassinated by members of their family but also the family by killing your daughter you have lost something and you have lost something to so the whole society would be better off. unless the outsiders look like that, you will get the opposite reaction and the backlash that we got in relation to female genital cutting when the missionaries who led a massive campaign and then it became the item of faith that you had to maintain this product -- practice. profoundly counterproductive intervention. but now given what most muslims in the world reasonably believe right or wrong about many americans our voices don't sound like they come from a place of respect or concern but f

it did not seem to have too many positive points for officer safety either, not that officers are not members of the public. one of the questions i wanted to ask is if public safety does not really improve with the issuing of tasers, an officer safety does not really improved, besides taser international's bottom-line, what does improve backspin -- does improve? i am a little concerned about how some of the academics were questioned into giving an answer regarding a very specific incident under a very limited control set of circumstances, with a very specific set of training guidelines in place, could this will possibly be useful. they were giving the answer yes. i am afraid the sound bite is going to be "yes," taken out of context. it certainly could not happen from anybody who has been part of the extensive and time- consuming proceedings tonight. thank you all for your time and patience on this matter. i think we have spent enough time and government money on this whole taser thing, in my personal opinion. thanks. [applause]

that does not mean we are perfect. we are obviously not. we do, in effect, get it a little bit more. commissioner antonini echoes what we heard in our morning session regarding glenn park. when the first electric many of its time started to go out to that area, it had the transit infrastructure and the area that was developed. it is costly to do it that way, to put it in before it is needed. but it is the only logical way it should go. he should not have to build a thousand units of housing in order to afford a transit. i do not know where the money is coming from. i do not think it has to come entirely from extraction's from the new developers in the new area. there has to be some equity involved. everything the organizations are saying is correct. there is no question about it. that infrastructure -- that for my was that over in berkeley was basically on low income and communities of color. the reconsidering those items predominantly. but everything everybody has been saying today is correct. i do not know where the money is coming from i

we do not have this.t is your view of what is feasible for the g20 two to and how would you comment on the agenda that christine lagarde let out? >> there have been doing an excellent job of trying some ideas and out of reach. the reason why this is particularly important is there is sensitivity between countries that are not in the g20. we template part of the intermediate and roll, -- into mediate -- there are certain topics were you can nudge along, but there are some that are targeted for action. i think that the agriculture topic is one that is very important. we have financial safety nets. everybody here recognizes that there may be some need for some food safety nets. we have suggested to put food first on the agenda. one is a topic that has been discussed. president obama took some leadership on this. there have been a number of private companies here. they take the advantage of the increase in demand. there is also the food price volatility. there maybe some modest stocks in areas that have poor

the symphony is not like the opera. it is not a society event. people do not take limos. >> christopher is the last person who has turned in a speaker car. >> good afternoon. i would like to protest the structure of the review process. the means by which the taxi industry and the way it has been attempted or not so well attempted to be fit into the miscible transit authority. there is not currently an actual forum. drivers can come to this meeting. this is highly burdened with other sorts of work. the taxi advisory committee as the only forum. its mandate is to review the medallion sales program. the taxi advisory committee is clearly meant to be a mouthpiece for your transformation of the taxi industry and perhaps an entry-level transit job in your organization. if that is your agenda, please let us know that some of us are unhappy with that direction. as an indication of that, some of us have noted that there are no union representatives by your committee. the union did not agree with what you were pushing. it renders the taxi advisory committe

they were not elected. they were selected by the chief operating officer, whose main bottom line is economics, not justice, and they said, this is the budget you are going to be given. you either do the job with that budget, or we get someone else. are you willing to take the job? that was the condition and made bluntly. i happened to be on the panel. everybody was talking about stakeholders and how we wanted a team player. i think the culture makes the player. now you hire somebody that is going to be a team player. we need independents. i am not sure i would go with the reelection everywhere. in san francisco, you have got an intelligent electorate, but i think independence is very important. also, you have to be independent of the judges. we found they were intimately involved in selecting the people who would appear before them. we found 90% of public defenders reported judicial pressure to expedite cases. that means when you are under one staff -- understaffed and overworked, the judge says, you have e

but it does not matter. every year you have an obligation to do what is readily achievable, or to save up from year to year so that at the end of five years you may have saved up enough money not to hurt your bottom line, not to lay off staff, not even to cut that far into your profit margin, but enough that you can put that ramp to your front door. if you have been in business since 1992, 19 years, you are in a difficult position to say you cannot have saved up enough money, that you did not have what is a $10,000 or $12,000 project in leeway during that 19-year period. that is where the confusion is over the different obligations between title 24 and title 3 of the ada. this is an ongoing obligation every year, and i am happy to take questions if you have them. president murphy:

i do not know if that is true. we still might be hearing this on may 12, but i'm hoping something might be different going forward, but the situation pushed us to the point that actions needed to start happening. commissioner moore: i appreciate commissioner borden explaining her conversation with the supervisor, but the amount of pressure being put on us in this particular case, cumulatively from neighbors in north beach, more effective than ever one else, given the distribution of powers in their neighborhood, i believe we owe it to ourselves to have a larger dialogue, and i understand the supervisor did not have the time to discuss this. these are federal laws, which we are continuing to interpret as best as we can. i read them, and i have a really hard time understanding when the laws apply or when they are amended. i feel i owe it to myself not to go just on one because the issue is a much larger discussion, and i would really prefer that the discussion is had prior to that answer into a larger neighborhood, s

not a committee staff, not a committee chairmanship. and really sweep iing well thoughtout, bipartisan proposals. and he deserves krems credit for that, and i'm glad we pursued the questions here today. i thank this panel so much. you've been terrific and thought provokin provoking. the committee will stand in adjournment. >> the senate luke into the constitution at of the healthcare law. >> tomorrow the senate budget committee holds a hearing on economic recovery. live coverage begins at 10 a.m. eastern on c-span. federal reserve chairman speaks at the national press club. watch his remarks live at 1 p.m. eastern on c-span. >> sunday on book tv's in depth, author and columnist r. emmett tyrrell. >> the latest, after the hang over. conservatives road to recovery. live sunday at noon eastern on book tv on c-span 2. flu >> ibm and dell gave their ideas of how to save the country billions. this 50 minute event was hosted by the center for strategic and international studies. >> we are really going to dive in this quickly and not waste our

he did not proved it was a particular day, a particular time, nothing -- he did not prove it. there is no written document, nothing. they just showed a video. that is all. it was not even authorized. let's go to specification number two. he did not devote his entire time to the achievement to protect life and property. obviously, this specification is vague. there was no evidence that was presented. there were no witnesses that they presented on this specification. a lieutenant came and testified about hearsay upon hearsay upon double hearsay, which is a violation of his constitutional rights, because there should be direct witnesses to come up and testified so that you can have a full transcript. -- in and testify -- in and testify -- and testify. this is hearsay. that is why you have a trial, so the witnesses that were being investigated as part of the investigation, so the officer lewis could cross-examine. he was not able to. there is a declaration from cafta note bruce, -- from capt. bruce, and i want to read this again. capt. bruce said the duties include him carrying hi

we do not understand -- it is not that we do not understand the depth of the issue. is the political will that governs pension. >> would you concur with that miss norcross? >> i agree. >> that is simple enough. that is reasonable. are the government accounting standards for pensions similar or dissimilar from what come -- from what public companies are required to disclose? >> they are a little bit different. in the private sector, the use something closer to a risk-free rate. they are valued differently from public sector plans. >> would like to add anything to that? >> no. [laughter] >> this is going pretty smoothly. this norcross, in your testimony, you discuss that state spending grew faster than states on revenue sources. that was in 47 states from 1997 until 2007. to this point, can you explain the danger of states reporting budgetary imbalances when they are actually using federal funds and debts to fund these expenditures? >> i think that highlights what is in the pipe. you have the state's own revenue, the federal fund that, and other. if you're just conside

that is not the issue. i am not against creating the coverage and connectivity and all of that. i am totally in favor for it. what we said at earlier on, i am repeating. i am looking for a comprehensive pushed by the city of san francisco to solve this in a manner that does not look at these things in a scattered, one by one way. everything that i know and everything that i read, there is significant evidence of this. however, i think it needs to be studied for a longer time frame. the time frame starts today by trying to be comprehensive. this city can be the leader next to silicon valley. i do not believe that the city should be doing an experiment against better knowledge of how to do it. i repeat the word comprehensively. do one thing i it would like to say, i do not appreciate to be set to appear. there are no federal laws which cannot force me to speak against my consciousness and a fan for the citizens who have pros and cons about what i need to ask for. i do not like to be threatened. i am going to vote against this particular application in front of us, not because i do

not that the ortega's do not serve food. we do not need another caesar salad. we need a historic but house. we need to save about house. we do not need to save grace. we need bicycles. we need something charming in golden gate park. we do not need another commercial teacher joint. i walked in there with a huge community of people every day. there is an entire community of people that love the bucolics ready. i believe in saving the boat house historically. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. >> my name is sandra we'll and i m proposed to this change of use. i have documents to be included in the record. as you know, our local coalition is against this change. but we have provided you numerous solutions for this very bad lease, which must be included as you move forward. for example, page 24 we see that they shall not be required to make repairs or alterations, including improvements, in connection with seismic retrofit. since the least he does not pay, guess who will? please ask the city attorney if this was misinterpreted or if the city is going to be on the

i do not know if you speaking to managed care or not. that is what we have been doing all along and community health centers, is having patients navigate the system in the clinical outcomes have proven we have been more successful than a lot of settings. if you look at our cost compared to other costs, we're 25% l ess. i know i sound like a big proponent of community health care centers, because i am. we did not have the same proponents that we have. you are receiving wraparound services. in a private sector when someone presents -- a lot of times if you are at a diabetic you need all these things and cannot get other things you need to treat or disease. that is one of the big values that we bring to the table. host: the nation's governors are meeting this weekend in washington, d.c. there are many panel discussions. medicare is going to be one of those topics discussed this weekend, as are job creations. you are hearing from dr. gary wiltz, talking about community health care centers. our next calller is from rhode island. dale, republi

why not? and the difficulty there was that many of the people in iraq felt that they'd been encouraged in a popular uprising before and they'd been left high and dry. and many of them had been murdered in consequence. but i say, all of us shared the view that it would have been great to see the back of saddam hussein and his vicious, unpleasant regime. what was related to that was how do you achieve that and could we have an objective of regime change? >> and you don't recall if there was agreement in these exchanges to set up a joint group between us and the u.s. administration to take the issue of iraq forward? >> i think there was. but i say, i can't directly recall. >> the situation in which the letter sent by your private secretary as we've noted you advised there were intent for -- you advised that containment should be ratcheted up and that military intervention for regime change would be illegal. so effectively had your advice been followed by number 10 in their exchanges with the whit

not true. san francisco is immune to a recology shell game tactic. not true. you have been given complete data. not true. yuba county has been used. san francisco has been used. as a former supervisor of placer county said to me recently, san francisco is a wholly owned subsidiary of recology. this record i told i and my hand is from the board of supervisors yesterday morning in view of county, documenting all the facts of this. the original use permit is under question now, and one supervisor accepts that it is a consideration for us to close the ostrom road landfill. now, you have an obligation to the people of san francisco, not to recology. recology has no obligation to the people of san francisco or to the people of you but county. your obligation is to make the best decision possible. not to rubber stamp and unsatisfactory decision. act on the best information possible and available. listen to the people. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> hello. i'm a resident of san francisco, and i'm appalled that this contract was given wit

they simply are not using it and are not involved. i think what is critical that met the park is offering is to convert this site to a garden. the city has taken 30 years under the open space fund to acquire 100 acres of park land. 2/3 of an acre is a lot. most of the little parks we have acquired are very small like this, so 2/3 is very important. times have changed, and one of the things that change is a huge interest in urban agriculture. this site is very important to the future and to many citizens in our city. i hope you will consider that. i think the opportunity to grow food is not only a nice recreation. it is going to be a vital part of food security in our city, and this central location and some of the materials that will be available will be very useful around the city. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker please. >> supervisors, good afternoon. i'm speaking initially for myself. i personally feel that this hearing is mostly a hollow toothless dog and pony show on topics where the board of supervisors

whether you like it or not. first of all -- a shout out to speaker boehner for what he has done in the house. allowing this debate to take place. but these are the small items. but nonetheless, it is a preview of what we will see when we get down to the big issue of the entitlements. obama is right to -- on the continuing resolution. but then when we resolve that issue -- and i think we will resolve it in some way -- then you have to buy nature get to entitlements. >> you can have a debate -- >> they know it. they are starting to acknowledge it. >> the president said the republicans' cuts are too deep and it threatens a veto. >> let's use a scalpel. >> house speaker john boehner says if the president does not cut deeply, republicans will. >> for the last two years since the president has taken off as the federal government has added 200,000 new federal jobs. and if some of those jobs are lost in it, so be it. we are broke. >> so what? >> they are fighting over this 12%. it the whole game is elsewhere. but like t

we will not leave me and i will not leave it until i die on its soil. it will remain a dignified people throughout history with its head high and its flag floating with pride. my god protect egypt, a safe and secure country, may god help these people. god's peace be upon you. >> president mubarak has addressed the nation, speaking in a patriotic voice to his people, calling on egyptian pride, saying he would carry out his commitments to insure the safety and security of his people, saying he would be handing over some of his powers to his vice-president, omar suleiman. but he made it clear he is not standing down anytime soon. let's go now to tahrir square. you can hear the reaction of the crowd as the speech was continuing and there is no sign the president was announcing he was stepping down. we heard angry remarks coming out of the square, warnings that the protests would be larger and louder. let's listen in to the sound of the square right now. [crowd noise] >> a full transition. he talked about changing constitutional provisions which would change

i said i would not do it if it could not be done and the model designed could not working and he said i know that now. but i have to get to where i want to be and give me some slack while we've navigate over to a rational white house chief of staff systems. >> but dick cheney said surveying has chief of staff as a successor so many times president -- presidents were constrained in the congress was moving him and when he became vice president he hoped to expand presidential power and a move that the other way. did you feel that? >> when you have the embattled president functioning in a white house at that point* was deemed illegitimate, watergate had drained the reservoir from our country for the first time a president of the united states had to resign. it was a stunning events. in our country, and the world and we don't govern by a command but by persuasion and through leadership and if you have to persuade people don't respond and the white house was in a terrible terrible terrible circumstance. of should we go for continuity to reassure the american people that he, a total unknown

work and is relevant or not -- or did not work and is relevant or not very good -- or not. >> what did you learn from senator schumer? >> i learned the same lesson front rahm emanuel. you win it by being operational theory did you win it by putting the pieces in place -- you win it by being operational. you win it but who did the pieces in place. a day after he asked me to take this job, he convened a meeting in. you cannot win by wishful thinking. you win by having a plan, by making sure the pieces fit, and their plan worked greater than -- their plan worked. i may have not the same attributes chuck schumer hi. i will been judged based on my own level of success. >> you talked about the partnership. good what kind of partnership the you have someone -- what kind of partnership deal have thelma -- do you have? >> we are at the point where we are standing of our operations, and we have very good operations. i have received calls offering to recruit in the state, offering to help improve operations within their states. one of the real surprises was the level of cooperation the senate pro

i do not see the other party here to support are not support this change. commissioner sugaya: aren't condominiums subdivided usually? >> it is unfair right. it is not a ground subdivision. commissioner sugaya: i would like to make an observation that this may be 47 square feet, but it is fully 1/3 or more of the usable? face. if there was an opinion -- of the usable deck space. if there was an opinion in 1982, which i am reading under the variance decision, he had concern about the amount of rear yard and open space that existed with regard to this particular development. even though he may not made it a condition, it is clear that he was concerned about it and made a comment about it on his findings -- finding four. that is why i seconded the motion commissioner moore just made. commissioner antonini: maybe i could ask staff. i guess you mentioned that the commissions would not have been brought to us under a pending dr reform legislation. i assume the position you are taking to not support the dr is based on the fact that the addition takes up only 1/3 o

these people are not looking for handouts and certainly not from the u.s. in their lifetime they have only knownne ruler, one dictator, most of them appear that dictator was supported and propped up by the u.s. so they are not necessarily looking to the u.s. to give them money or support. they would like the united states not to intervene much. nobody wants a return to the bad old days of two months ago, and certainly not obama. if you are wondering where the u.s. goes next, given its own constraining situation, helping to finance these new governments in these countries, i think answer is no. host: earlier in the program we spoke with a journalist in benghazi right now. he says a lot of people on the streets were asking where is our help from the united states and obama? guest: in part that's because of the expectation that was set up by the administration when the president went to cairo and made the famous speech to the muslim world. he set himself up for that. people will holdim to those stdards. in the real sense, if libya needs international support,

they think you do not know what life is, you do not have any goals or dreams. you know why i am telling you that? i am basing it on my family. i wanted you all to know that my grandson graduated and will be the first doctor in my family. [applause] i do not like to put labels on it, but i want to thank all the liberal white people that helped us in the 1950's that helped us get through this struggle and social change and help america get rid of some of -- one of their flaws. just like my sister said, it is a cosmetic change. we still have got to work on it. it is not just a one deal. [applause] >> we have heard about cosmetic change. bryonn bain, i want to ask what has happened since this struggle here and why we are still where we are, beyond the cosmetics. what has led to this situation that you described in new york city? >> i think racism has evolved and adapted. as the movement grew in strength and folks became more conscious, races and became more institutionally embedded. they found new ways to basically sustained slavery. michelle alexander calling it t
