[ applause ] thank you, mr. mayor. it's so wonderful to see so much work happening in san francisco. now i have a great privilege to introduce a very important woman, not only to our project but to our district and to san francisco. in 2010 jane kim was elected to the board of supervisors for san francisco. all of the exciting new development that is taking place for our wonderful new neighborhood. the tjpa board recognizes supervisor kim's leadership and she was appointed to board of directors and also chair of our board. she is the reason we've made progress this far. she is thoughtful and caring and provides a lot of information and valuable input. supervisor kim has not only been a transbay help in our neighborhood but many other factors in our neighbors, pedestrian safety, bicycle safety

nancy pelosi was not by his side. what did you make of that?think perhaps it was a strategy, he's thinking it's better for him to be alone and be the leader to bring in his republican colleagues and bringing in other members of the house. him standing there with nancy pelosi doesn't help his cause, what he's trying do is bring his fellow republicans and many are absolutely against this. >> so going in to to this particular meeting i asked you when you said you thought it was 50/50. senator john mccain from arizona on board saying the united states needs to take decisive action. and now john boehner, the speaker of the house saying the united states needs to do the same. handicap it for me, does it look like the president will get the support that he needs to launch a strike against syria? >> i still think it's/50. 50/50. the members are going to be home and hearing that we don't want a war, we are more concerned about jobs and so forth. people don't get it. people at home are struggling, don't have jobs, they are worried about their kids, it's

i m leader pelosi's district rector in san francisco. i've been with the for about nine years, and we are excited to put on this forum today to help people learn how they can access credit and capital for their small business. click background on some of what was accomplished in the last congress when later closing was speaker of the house. she had had 16 tax cuts signed into law to help small businesses grow and thrive. as we know, during the last 15 years, small businesses account for about 2/3 of the job growth in our country, but when the bush recession hits in 2009, 2010, small businesses were hit particularly hard. small businesses are the center of her agenda. congress under her leadership gave 27 million small businesses tax cuts. two main pieces of legislation -- the small businesses jobs act in the information you have, will create a total of 500,000 jobs and create eight tax cuts. they are all described in the packet you have. also, unleashing up to $300 billion in credit for small businesses to access. there are another eight

and, danielle, again, thank our leader pelosi for her wonderful support. (applause) >> always, always there for us. and then i think constantly what i always enjoy in addition to thanking our federal support is our taxpayers of san francisco. but for the 2008 clean and safe neighborhood parks bond, this would not have happened. and that's a big shout out to all of the taxpayers in san francisco. thank you, everybody, for coming and to celebrate. thank you for enjoying with me a brief moment of time wasted and remembered all in celebration of this great waterfront. thank you.

speaker boehner addressed cameras and now nancy pelosi. let's listen in. >> that is a differentiation what he has done up until now. people say he killed a hundred thousand people. what is the difference with this 1,400? this 1,400, he crossed a line with using a chemical weapons. president obama did not draw the red line. humanity drew it. decades ago, 170 some countries supporting the convention on not using chemicals, chemical war fare. it is something from the humanitarian standpoint cannot be ignored or else we cannot say never again. secondly from a national security standpoint, we have to send a very clear message to those who have weapons of mass destruction of any variety that should forget about using them. it was a very constructive meeting. the president listened to our colleagues and the speaker was very clear and i'm sure he toll us his view and i associated myself with his remarks. i believe the american people need to hear more about the intelligence that supports this action. and that is that the responsibility for this ch

nancy pelosi referred to it. there is this group of 30 to 45 corn servetives making life extremely difficult for john boehner. are they making it difficult for the republican party to keep the house? >> well, look, i think if you look at these 50 to 80 republicans, i think there were 80 that signed the letter. you look at their districts, obama care and barack obama and democrat solution rsz very s ar unpopular. i think they believe the republican party in order to find leverage, make government work smarter and more efficiently that they have to press this to gain that leverage. i think john boehner looks at that and understands. >> well, there is pressing it and then going over the cliff with it. >> i think john boehner is taking two approaches. he can tell people that this is not going to work or he can demonstrate that the voice of these republicans and these conservatives habs to be herd. we accepted it to the senate and see what happens. >> this is a broken record now. you're not going to defund. it's a pol

thanks mark, regina , and later pelosi. we have been able to access resources through the sba and the cdfi fund which helps get money to small businesses in this time of need. opportunity fund is not a bank or a government agency. we are an independent nonprofit organization with a mission to provide capital to working people to help them earn, say, and invest in the future. we focus primarily on businesses that are not yet bankable. most of our clients are themselves low or moderate income people or working in low or moderate income neighborhoods. but not exclusively. we will look at any business we think can bring about substantial community benefits. i want to talk about what type of loans we make and whatever products we have. that is important to note that in our case, they mentioned -- i mentioned some acronyms. the service corps of retired executives, women's business centers, renaissance and entrepreneurs should here in san francisco, women's initiative for self-employed -- those organizations offer classes often an

pelosi is under pressure and i don't know.obama is, too, if congress votes against him, will he still do it? he said he can. this is a big issue for him. >> and the question was raised about there appears to be a bit of a split here between what we have what the leadership says and in this case, the democratic leadership and the republican leadership and what the rank and files are thinking. does this say something about beltway versus many street? >> absolutely. they seeing a perspective and washington, look at international shape. a lot of people here are, as the phrase is more weary, we're seeing soldier comes home and they're hurt and disabled. it comes home. no one wants to get involved in that anymore. >> if they say no to her, does she continue on? survive? >> i think she does. she's a strong personality and a strong force. >> a new weapon -- . >> the big question is the president. >> this is not on pelosi but the president. >> yes. >> and that is going to be interesting as he makes his case to the public and what congr

nancy pelosi wisely voted against the authorization for the iraq war.tituents in san francisco, and in sync with the failed experiments in vietnam. no matter how right she thinks she is with her positions, when politicians become uncomfortable with their positions and talking points then they reach. they nervously reach for more ammunition and find themselves talking about 5-year-olds, or worse, their own childhood. >> i have listened to my colleagues particularly express concern as to whether the actions that we conceive would in fact deter or evade the ability of assad to conduct chemical weapons attacks in the future. >> okay, so far, so good. but this as at the very end of a three and a half hour hearing today. and chairman menendez' staff clearly had not written a closing statement for the senator. and so this is what he actually said next. >> and i'm reminded in a much different context of an experience i had in my own life. and general dempsey is actually from my own area, jersey city. and i grew up in a tough neighborhood. and we had a bully in

the dream of maria, who demanded the city pay attention to this project and of course our leader pelosi who fights for us everyday in washington d.c. to make sure we are getting prioritized for the funding for the jobs for the men and women and the permanent jobs in the future, this project would not be possible. the transbay project is a national model. it will bring 11 transportation systems under a single roof all in close proximity for the jobs, housing, retail and recreation and open space. this high density development will not only foster the economic growth that i said, it will be the center piece of that economic growth and reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. we are creating a bicycle community and safe public transit and full range of neighborhoods amenities. i want to thank the residents of district six and acknowledge bruce who is here who is our representative of the neighborhood on the transbay advisory committee. our residents have invested in this neighborhood early. knowing we don't have all the amenities in yet but also to advise on the city government and
