we can see tenants are not present or not that many of them at least. the lack of preps is the proof of the fact that our efforts for outreach were not successful. we organizers have gone ourselves to speak with tenants. each time we are denied access and asked to get out of the building. the tenants at the war 1850s are on fixed income and most of them are on ssi or iga. they are afraid to come out and speak against the managers because they will be evicted. a specific example, just the other day i was waiting outside to speak to as many tenants as -- whom i could talk to because i was not allowed to go inside. when i was speak tog one of the tenants, they said let's go somewhere they can't see us because i'm afraid if they see me talking to someone from the collaborative they are going to -- they won't, you know, they're going to treat us differently. and i asked and they said, they don't open the door for us when we want to go in and they're denied visitors. you can see they're clearly fearful. and also i wanted to bring a specific issue regarding a

the senate is not in here the house is not an. my understanding as we are going to have basically everybody working quietly to see if we can reach an agreement. it will be interesting to see if they give us any information today. host: you can find her articles at wp.com. thank you for being on the program. we are talking about senate negotiating the fiscal cliff deal. the work they're still trying to get done. the first call comes from lee in florida. caller: i tried to call in yesterday, but everybody was concerned about this matter. let me give you a website that i have been e-mail in over 400 people. it is the website -- you go to search "cause of war." this is the biggest cover up by all of the politicians of their in washington, d.c., including both bushes and of mr. obama. host: and what does this have to do with the senate negotiating a fiscal of deal? caller: let me tell you something. if you go to the website listed on the left and upper side, united states -- each tax coming out of each state is going towards the or. --

that is not productive and it is not necessary and we should not be thinking that way. we have to come together on this. those who want more spending understand there will be less spending. those who do not want to deal with taxes at all, now there is some softening about where they are prepared to go on that. has been the division that has gotten to the point of almost eight fullness. -- hateful mess. ness. go back to 2009, the frustrations of people coming out, this is their country, and ankles people had not seen any more, toward one another as opposed to civil discourse. that is where we are. we are moving away from it because people back home are beginning to see it and say, that is not what i want. i want to see my way wind. if my way cannot win, i want the country to win. >> hard line partisan has contributed? >> it contributes to it. i am in favor, i do not know at what level you have the commission, but get it out of the hands of those who do it for their own interests. that is wrong. it should not be about whether or not i have saved my seat by gerrymandering

the money will not be collected because taxing the rich is not that easy. they move the money to capital gains are offshore whatever. it will mean less jobs. some jobs will be cut or there will not expand it. why would you go for that? if you spend $80, the next step from medicare and whatever. i am not saying cut the defense, obviously a republican rayon. if you reform does things, especially the entitlements, what is the expense? how are you going to pay? $200. if it goes through the program. cut the prices on the services. you have absolutely no idea how much it costs. if i go to brooklyn, it will be cheaper. they know how much to charge. in order to create the jobs, you have to go to amend it. host: to write for the call. a lot of people want to wait and it. the number-one priority item, this is from a viewer who says it should be to back fiscal for timber living tax cuts expire, close loopholes, and cut spending across the board. a surprise announcement of senator jim demint who will be leaving the senate after nearly two terms. this is from friday pol

for my parents, they felt it was not very elegant. so it was not so nice, not so clean. so me, i fantasy about it. and maybe i was looking more and people that were wearing that kind of close, sometimes going to buy a jacket. there is a movie of marlon brando. but i must say, i remember it was a time in the 1960's, it was some boy from the suburbs. i suppose little gangs who were supposed to be bad boys. maybe i was a very polite boy. i was a little fascinated by bad ones. [laughter] it came from my fascination with movies, with james dean, most of all marlon brando. all wore rebellious close. i find it very attractive and very interesting. of course, i should say that i love a lot of other things. cinema was also showing that kind of rebellion of the street. for me, maybe it became like those things are not that bad. and they're already recognized. they show some kind of people that i am not at all part of. but also, i use it may be after -- it inspired me. i love to make them all. the code of what is decent and a decent. what is elegant, not elegant. what is luxurious

it shows that not one of our laws has to be changed. not one.yet, this convention gives us a seat at the table. to help them upgrade their laws and work with other countries so that people with disabilities have more opportunities in the country. why would we deny ourselves the us when we have been a leader in this effort for so long? i listen to the speeches by both senators from oklahoma and utah, and these are unfounded fears. there is nothing in here that is going to allow anyone from the united nations to take a child away from the family or tell a family they can't school a kid or anything like that. we should not be driven by unfounded things. we should be driven by what we know of our experience. by what we have done in the wording. that number was up to be changed because of that. the other point i want to make is that we all know people with disabilities. we have family members or friends. and we value them. we really do value them, those people in our families. if we truly value them, why do we listen to them? over 300 disability righ

they are not. this is a lesbian officer that knows our community and works very well. i have never had a better relationship with asset pd, because of her. >> i promise you that if you make that request, it will be honored. is there anyone here from park in iraq? -- park and irrec bella >> they were invited. -- rec ? what they were invited. >> i went to a neighborhood meeting about hardly strictly bluegrass. the open of the meeting was that she had not get -- not got rid of all the issues in the park, but that she was trying. so. i wanted to put that out there.

i do not want to add any [speaker not understood]. but the upgrading of the space which i normally would have problems with given the assessment of the department, would have to really come forward in the very positive way in order to be supportable for me. so, if that is acceptable, then i would like to make a -- or add to the motion, i think i see commissioner antonini supporting me on that, that the facade would be brought up to a more kind of improved contemporary appearance with transparent or glazing and the signage which obviously falls within the rules of the department recommends for this area. >> commissioner, if i may, the staff has prepared a motion of disapproval. so, you need to take a motion of intent to approve and then continue this item to two weeks from now or -- >> we need time to prepare the motion. >> right. >> what are the specifics of what we are basically given that direction. >> depending upon how quickly staff can put that together, you should continue that out to december 13th or even to january, potentiall

that's not what i was saying you have to move. that's not it at all.buy a house in california. stuart: don't put your business there, don't move your business. >> well, what if the bussness is there? if you get a job offer from google in silicon valley, take it, but just don't buy a house, rent one. stuart: what is driving what you call the death spiral? >> there are a lot of economic factors built into this, but the essential one in my view is whether there are more, what i call, and i know this is a contentious word, more takers than makers. stuart: yeah. >> and i don't mean that the takers are bad people. i'm assuming in my article that every single person drawing money from the state government as an employee, as a state employee who's retired, or as a deserving and needy welfare recipient is indeed entitled. that's not the point. the point is what happens when you chase out the private sector jobs that support all that spending. stuart: okay, i've got that. now let's boil it down. one of the themes on "varney & company" for years has been this: we

do not be surprised not market goes up, but it is not a good deal. >> scott, it was a fabulous year for the market without focus on the fundamentals. can you imagine to we looked at the corporate balance sheets. what do you predict? >>guest: what we will do is just that and charles brought that up. companies are doing great, with so much cash they do not know what to do. they are lean, mean and profitable. but the economy, the hard data like g.d.p. and unlimit, it is lousy. what do did you focus on? the health of the corporate world? or do did you focus on the fundamental economy? that is where the market gets to the crossroads when we pass this issue. >> i think the economy is a powder keg waiting to spread. we have green chutes or bright spots in housing. and unemployment seems to be improving. we will get the next report next week for december and we hope the fiscal cliff does not thwart this but the underlying health of the economy is as good as its has been, do you agree, the laugh year or two? >>guest: well, it has been a bad one or two years, so, yes, if you look at it, i agree,

it will not be heard in december. that does mean that even though there's no official hold that this body has on the board preventing them from hearing t we are told they will not hear it until the new year. certainly you can plan for hearings through december and that would be before what we've been told board action would be. >> well, let me think about it. go ahead. >> commissioner antonini. >> thank you. so, commissioner sugaya, would you be interested in another hearing possibly? [laughter] >> let me put forth -- >> really. >> let me put forth what my idea would be and let's see if it has support. and parenthetically, there are some additions of things in this. i i understand the negative declarations now would have to be appealed to us first, which was not necessarily the case. so, there's more process added in some of these. i would move that we recommend to the supervisor support, but with these modifications. longer, but clear, clear appeal periods, not to exceed three months from whatever we determine to be

next speaker. >>> [speaker not understood] more land, graziano [speaker not understood], [speaker not understood]. >> good afternoon. >>> good afternoon, director rifkin and fellow board members. i'm currently the president of russian hill neighbors, and we represent over 600 households and merchants. and at our recent meeting that ended at 9 o'clock last night, our board of directors with 30 people -- we have a very large board of directors -- unanimously voted to support option 4 at the pagoda theater. it is rare that 30 people agree, especially the 30 people with whom i'm involved. i come from a family of 45. rarely -- we have collaboration, rarely consensus. so, i've been involved with -- i've been with north beach library, so, different opinions. i respect and everyone's opinion that has come before me today, but this just happens to be what we looked at it very thoroughly as we have. it's a 30-year old organization and we've tried to ke

>> he was not as bad as people made out. in other words, he was not an ogre. he was a man who had big ambitions to restore the importance of the crown and he did not really succeed. he regarded the american revolution in the same way that a lot of politicians in washington regarded vietnam. he felt that if he could not hold america, the dominoes will fall in the rest of the british empire. he was a bad decision maker for the british government in the early years. >> what is your take on the 16 points that were made by thomas jefferson in the virginia constitution and then the declaration of independence? >> all that stuff about george iii being an ogre and responsible for everything, if your urging a revolution, by political theory, you could overthrow retired. overthrowing a tyrant would be a good thing. in order to make the case they needed heading into wanting to be credible to the other nations, such as france or spain whatever, you had to make george iii out to be a tyrant. so he came up with all of these arguments about what he did and that is with jeffe

people do not need hospitals, they do not need doctors. they do not need the kinds of medical insurance we have. can you imagine a time when we will get to a place where we will be so healthy that we can put doctors out of business? >> i am optimistic that we can do that. doctors would relish the opportunity to take care of patients, to be looking at preventive ways to promote health. if you look at the new oath we take, it is modified. but of the cleric oath says i prefer to take care of patients for prevention. rather than cure and that food be thy medicine. i am sad when i look at young people, middle age, or old folks who have diseases that are totally preventable. 70% to 80% of white people are in hospitals are self induced illnesses -- of why people are in hospitals are self induced illnesses. 70 or 80% of things we can control we would love to be able to take care of patients and be more partner with talking to my setting examples, being role models for things i can do to prevent these devastating chronic illnesses. >> when did the

do not repeat it. he did not. he kept it totally to himself. i think maybe he said something to my mother, but other than that, us children had no idea. in new because the news media was saying president nixon is going -- you knew it because the news media was saying president nixon is going to resign. you did not have the news media like today so it was very different. we had news media waiting in our front yard for something to happen. so, it was one of those things that dad did not say something until the very last minute. yes, we are going to the white house and we need to pick out clothes. [laughter] >> not a conversation most people can relate to. [laughter] what was that conversation like when he called you together? >> because my father and president nixon had been longtime friends, one of the first people who spoke to my dad when he became a congressman was nixon who was also in the house. there was a long relationship between the two families. when dad did tell us, it was one of those things of this is going to happen. it is very sad.

. >> they are not. we have still about 8% unemployment. and gallup said that the number will be over 8%, we'll see if it is. with unemployment benefits going out. we'll have an estimated 3.3 million people slip into poverty next year, if those long-term unemployment benefits are not extended. the problem is there are no jobs for these people, this is like the job chasing the truck, they caught the truck. but now what are they going to do with it. i am not sure why they would show this optimism, they should be playing this down. neil: thank you very much. jim demint is leaving u.s. senate, will he be able to prevent the president's tax hikes before he does? demint here, next. where's your? uh... whew.

my criticism is not that the president is not willing to compromise.he president is willing to compromise. my point today is i do not want us to continue to see this as left-right. we need to see this as we the people holding these officials accountable to reach a compromise because there is too much debt is at stake. you should be incensed that congress recessed early yesterday to go home in the middle of this crisis. that to me is an outrage. what does that say how seriously they take in this cliff will face on december 31? it will have an enormous impact. we should hold the members of congress -- we should do our homework and become educated so we can bring about the accountability that seems to be missing from this debate. host: this is drake on twitter. this is big guns. host: and h. robert asks -- host: back to the column by karl rove in while "the wall street journal." guest: speaker boehner is a very decent guy. he believes in compromise. he is reasonable. we tried to make republicans into a character as if they are insensitive and do not care

let's not kid ourselves. the white house stance three weeks trying to develop a proposal and they send one of pier that calls for over one half trillion in new taxes, calls for not even $400 billion in cuts and this extra spending that is greater than the amount they're willing to get. but not a serious proposal. lou: senate minority leader writing a little easier in the midst of what is at best a process. he burst into laughter when treasury secretary presented the president's plan. the president, meanwhile, showing no sign of interest initiation, giving no sign he is ready to make any significant step toward resolving the impasse. president obama cast himself as santa claus in a campaign style rally. his comfort zone, while blasting republicans and reminding them, he will not forget who stood in his late on tax increases. >> of course santa delivers everywhere. i have been keeping my own money and nice list for washington. visiting towns like this. >> president obama got his wish rather than negotiating wit

not. >>neil: you want to see the cuts now? >>guest: in 1986 ronald reagan sat down with the democrats. they had a deal. that was cut spending for $3 for every dollar they raise in taxes. guess what? they raised the taxes and never cut the spending. there is reason for us to be cautious about that. there has to be a way through this. maybe it will take the market starting to send a signal and people taking actions in anticipation of this raising of the taxes. do you know an economist that doesn't believe we will not go into a recession. >>neil: the markets do not lately seem to be too worried. do you think no deal is better than a bad deal? >>guest: the only thing we can do is to make a deal. i think the american people deserve it. if we don't get it, i really worry about the country. i do worry. i am in discussions with people about this nuclear option. i am in discussions with people about the immigration reform issue. we could have discussions about this. i don't think the democrats want

do not have this objective either. although we bump into more and more attempts to politicize human rights and especially by some western countries including by the european union again there is but on our part there is absolutely no foul play we do not link we as russia do not link those issues to the issues of human rights to any other issue and we would very much like to see the same approach from our partners unfortunately it is not always the case we tried to a little bit balance it up this discussion and i mean international discussion we try to. send a message that problems everywhere some of the problems are very serious some of them and turns border problems so it is if you wish it is also an invitation to dialogue it is not just criticism for the sake of criticism we are not. saying in our report either well reports we're not seeing that these or that can't be is not a democratic country is not a true democracy we are not jumping at those conclusions look at what we say point i want to choosing and picking an

>> it's certainly not conservatism. it's not rational. and it's not adult. you know, when you create a program, you make a decision. you say, "i think we should conduct this war. i think that we should expand our security apparatus at home. i think that we should provide this additional benefit." then you pay for it. you vote to do it. and then you say, "here's what it's going to cost." and you pay for it. you know, republicans may complain about the federal debt, but they're as responsible as the democrats for the debt being as large as it is. and once you have already done that, then you have an obligation to pay it down. you know, so the idea that what you're going to do is say -- you know, "we're not going to raise taxes, we're not going to close loopholes, we're not going to do anything" -- that means that we're not going to pay off what we've already created. i mean, that's childish. that's childish. >> that's very interesting you say that, because grover norquist says he came up with this scheme for the pledge against taxes when he was 12 years old. s

we're not gonna se it. so, that's our approach toafety... that is a higher standard you can get. >> many companies are trying to take their money and run huge firms. ralph nader a big critic of many corporations and a move like this, ralph, what do you think? this is not a shock given what they are facing? >> this has been going on for a long time, with transfer pricing they stash cash overseas, sometimes in countries with significant tax rates they can deduct if they bridg bring the y back home, a lot of times in the bahamas-type tax haven. there is nothing new about that. and they stash far more cash overseas..3 >> that is another story. they raising dividends to beat the tax man. but i will say, money chases the cheapest market, and i think now, taxes are getting to point here, of that they will be highist of the industrialized world, so corporations. they done gettthose mbas for colling books -- colors books. >> let me put it this way, explanation in this book. if you read this book. neil: no one sells

if not, why not?e role of the arctic council members, all of whom are democracies, one of the -- one of the underpinnings is a rules-based system. a respect for the rule of law. in addition to accountability to the people who elect you. canada has tremendous attachment and affection and over the largest part of the arctic. there are certain special obligations that come with that, stored ship of the environment. we have enormous interest in our own resources and our people. 40% of canadian land mass is above the 50th parallel, yet we only health -- have 100,000 of our people living there. is an enormous challenge, obligation, even to continue to exert the sovereignty. you mentioned a search and rescue. at this time of year, but there are 24 hours a day and temperatures plummet below 50 degrees celsius. you have open waters and changes that are born to create a lot of challenges because more people are simply going to go there and more countries have exerted or expressed an interest. you mentioned chin

the supervisor of record does not. the supervisor of records is only a place where a petitioner may seek review of an agency determination not to release a record. there is a two-track process. you can go to the task force, to the supervisor of record or both, but only the task force has the power to refer under 67.30. >> mr. sheffield? >> mr. pillpais correct there is no specific provision. however, i believe through the conversations that we have had, one concern was say the supervisor of records makes a determination that they believe there was a willful violation. it would not necessarily prohibit them from bringing it forward to hear. it was a cover all basis kind of thing so we didn't preclude something that may have come from a different body. it certainly could be stricken, but in event it may happen that way, although it hasn't ever, the commission didn't want to foreclose on that option. >> would the question then be whether the definition referral presumes a particular handling and whether something sent to

it's not a war. "newsweek" was right maybe the only thing they are right about. >> you can call it assault. can you call it anything you want. but think back, stossel six years ago. when giant department store chains were ordering their employees not to say merry christmas, all right? that stopped we know their game. that stopped. the reason it stopped because of us, stossel us. >> you won the war. "newsweek" is right about that we have got real problems in this country. "newsweek" is going broke. i can't believe you are wasting time on this. i look at your ratings and i feel ridiculous. >> we cover the real problems as well. we can walk and chew gum at the same time. the culture war is affecting every child in this nation, stossel. that's enormous. every american child is being affected by secularism. all of these people saying you know what? there is no right or wrong. you do what you want. >> seq. not saying right or wrong. >> bill: no judgments on behavior. none. >> nothing to do with secularism.

that is where you will not owe amt but you will not be able to file.il we get our machines correct. that will not be a problem if congress enacts the patch by december 31 because we have already programmed are machines if the patch is enacted. again, think about the amt. it is one of the biggest reasons why people are pulled into the amt, because of dependency exemptions come at the right office for your children -- the exemptions, the write-off for your children. we tried to update a family and looked at by virtue of them having children, by having six kids, where they get pulled into the alternative minimum tax? they did. they paid a lot more money by getting married and having six kids then if they had not got married and just cohabitated. host: the next caller is from new york, the democrats' line. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call and thank you, c-span. i am a widow and at this time my daughter in law and my granddaughter -- i have been supporting them since july of this year. rent, all of the expenses, going to scho

we do not default last summer. >> we did not. february. is it your position that we should be willing to default on the debt if that is necessary in order to force spending cuts? >> i would not be willing to circumstances. look at the history of what has been done. there is a long history of using that debt limit as a moment to distract from the party in power. if we had an academic seminar on the impact of the that struggle and the fiscal policy, he would say that it was a negative thing. there are times when having the extra power or the opposition is useful for either party. >> well, i have never until last year of august 2011, i have not seen any serious effort or serious threat made by the leadership of congress to refuse to give the secretary of treasury the ability to offer to meet obligations congress had adopted. i thought that was a new experience for us. that happen. dr. zandi, you said you think that we need to repeal this law that tries to set a debt limit and concentrate more on taxing and spending policies that causes to rai

it has not saved lives. they are i am ploying it as a way of intervening in a mental health crisis situation. >> excellent, question. >> in fact, our cit is modeled after the one used by the memphis police department. and while there are some in the memphis police department that are advocating for tasers they have not proved it yet because of these very concerns, so some, yes, they have some have applied for tasers but it has not yet been approved because exactly that, it under minds the whole verbal deescalation approach of the crisis intervention training so they have not used it of the >> so the source of it has been mostly the police department that is recommended this use not the public health or not mental health professionals or aclus or anything else? it seems to be coming from a... >> it is coming from the police department and san francisco only mental health association, called the mental health association in san francisco has taken the position against it. >> you have a mental health board. >>

tsunami did not wipe out the east coast, the volcano at yellowstone did not erupt, it did not block theice age as predicted by some charlatans. this was a ridiculous hoax but charles is still fired up. charles: it won't be the last. this is -- you don't know where to start except to say we're in a hopeless time for a lot of people and this is the type of thing the players over that, the feeling that all is lost, the next, let's bring some kool-aid and go with it. it is ridiculous stuff. i hope fewer people fall for it. stuart: it is pathetic. gerri: i was raised by southern baptist. raptors nothing new. people have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of the world. stuart: wire people taken in by this nonsense? gerri: it could be what charles is saying. is not enough -- this is a tough question, christmas for lots of people. i think is. the economy is down -- stuart: no excuse -- [talking over each other] gerri: this awful newtown thing, people are not in a good mood. more people joke about it -- charles: i don't want to be caught off-guard. stuart: a bunch of pagan

he should not give let them go. they are not here. they are not here. john boehner seems to care more about keeping his speakership than about keeping the nation on sound financial footing. it's obvious what's going on around here. he is waiting until january 3 to get reelected as speaker before we get serious with the negotiations, because he has so many people over there that will not follow what he wants. that's obvious from the debacle that took place last week's. host: referring to the vote yesterday on speaker boehner's plan b. guest: they might feel they have better numbers in the house than they do now later. he would be able may be to push a plan through without as much republican support. i doubt it. it would be really risky move and then we are in early january without a deal still. host: that's what you wrote in the washington journal this morning -- the wall street journal. republicans participating in a conference call yesterday said -- guest: that's right. the republicans feel like if they wait this out, they might have a clean slate on t

it was not there kids would not have the problem. there are kids that were in college and watched their tuition rise. they have to go back to the government well. but it is the fault of the universitis and colleges that take advantage. >> cost control, john than. >> the reason it goes up is 42 loan government. no one is disputing the value of education. but the question is government funding that education it is not part of the american candidate at all it started in the 1950s and 60s and gtten bigger ever since. the notion that government should fund a college education and kids have a right it is new phenom nam. >> and without federal system hundreds of thousands of millions was colle students could not go to college. >> you are right. bahamas and mexico, whatever. good job. coming up. china's plan . should america import now to create jobs here. pat buchanan wants the gop to stand firm with no new taxings. >> ditching the business tax for a national sales tax. it is spurring growth and putting people to work there. wayne would it

it's got to be controlled and it's not in the agreement and it's not in the resolution. i have draft language, i was a former city planner, i like to draft language, i don't know why. but something that i really hope that you could add to the contract agreement, the extension, and we want them to be there, but it is really a good period. you heard real estate tell you that usually a five-year contract, five-year renewable. i mean, they have proven themselves over five years. they have been responsive. it's eight years too long. would you please add this language? and i have copies for you and i've e-mailed them to you. which would limit the temporary fencing. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi, i'm [speaker not understood], i'm the owner of loving cup. i own a small dessert shop in russian hill and i've been a vendor at outside land for the last two years. our involvement in outside lands is a great experience all around. it has given me the opportunity to really grow my business. aside from significantly increasing our revenue, having the presence o
