to people? thank you. guest: a rich collection of questions. we do not typically ask people if they are citizens or not. we ask if they are registered to vote. people who are not citizens will not say they are registered to vote because they are not and cannot be. if it's a problem, it takes care of itself. they are able to answer questions and have opinions. they are probably in the country legally. we do not make a distinction. tickets to taking care of with the voter registration question. i do not favor banning polls. i think it provides information in political campaigns that is useful to the public in helping its make up its mind. host: he said in france they one week before the election. guest: that would not be the constitutional under our first amendment. i do not think it would be wise because i think polling is information that leaders and the public needs. host: author any regulations or oversight of the government on polling? guest: it is limited. people are protected from being bom

and people who biked and people who live in the neighborhood and rely on their car. additionally we did explore the idea of residential permit parking in the neighborhood. as you can see in the map, the red and the green there show that residential permit parking currently exists to the north and to the south of this project area but it doesn't exist right in the project area. and so we talked to the residents and some people said it would be a great idea if we created a new residential permit parking area for this neighborhood. and we circulated the petition at our meetings. we had several community members volunteer to collect petition signatures for us. but we didn't get to the required 200 signatures that is our policy for creating a new residential permit parking zone. so that's a piece that we weren't ready to move forward with at this time. if it's something the community continues to advocate for that's something mta can continue to try to look at. if approved today, we're actually excited to announce that the project could be implemented -- some of the aspec

i asked how are the people that they send, are they people that you want to hire?said no. >> the fact is welfare case loads are 360,000. test as low as it was in 1965. that's because we have a work requirement in new york city. >>> that is absz slutolutely gr. i am thinking 15,000 employees we are talking about employment there is some of it. it's like the soviet union. >> we do more than just cash assistance. we provide public health insurance, adult protective services child enforcement goes after dead beat dads collected 700,000 dollars for families with absent parents. 200,000 for moms on it doesn't . what's funny is the old cash welfare program is much much smaller than the rest of the agency in the old days it was a big part of these. >> now medicaid and medicare are much bigger programs. do you ever think gee we are trying it's hard to fire people. i can't manage the way i would if i were in the private sector that charity would do it better? >> no, i don't. i don't think charity by itself would provide public health insurance to the number of people we prov

john: people don't. they go golfing or create their own world wher the betterrpeople have a more prosperous life but in real life you take it. >> recently yu are right. friends of my will say i can go another year or two but i will stop. i will sell my company. i will go to a beach. you will see more and indu of entrepreneurs will finally say. the enough. watch us. it will have been. john: another quick exchange >> that is what laws are four. >> no use whatsoever. >> i began a 150,000 pages of regulation reiforced today. they say it lamar hurt me but it gives the a government the power to selectively enforced. >> i have been involved 30 years with a dozen different companies. think you to the opportunity but we hahad constantly dozens of lawsuits every year. i have been involved with several hundred and have settled dozens and dozens. john: you hurt people spend my there are some of lawsuits and entrepreneurs are constantly e involved and easy target. >> use the a mesothelioma mesothelioma, of lung disea

a lot of the people who are out chronickly homeless are people with substance abuse. personality disorders are a big part. so the disabilities people traditionally think about certainly occur in our populations, but i think someone mentioned invisible disabilities. schizophrenia is hard to see when you just see someone but when you have a chance to see what their behavior is like, it becomes apparent, yes, this person is quite disabled. having access where people normally pass this person by and say this person looks able-bodied, why can't they get a job. why is this person, quote, mooching off the system. when you get to know these people that isn't what's going on. it is the fact people are dependent on a certain substance where if they didn't have the substance fizz owe physiologically they wouldn't be able to get through the day. when we offered her a ram for the first time she said, no, no, this is my building, my family owns it and i'm keeping an eye on it. and of course she was in her dirty sleeping bag and was unkept. having these rooms is an important first s

so plenty -- so some people abuse it and some people don't. mr. romney speaks out to help the people that want to help themselves. we need in this country. i commend mr. romney for volunteering to fix the mess this country is in. i do not appreciate what my president did in libya and how he tried to squirm his way out of leaving those boys there. it brings back so many memories for me. he has to step up. as far as i'm concerned, mr. romney is stepping up for our country and our president is stepping back. host: a tweet -- the new york times this morning has -- jeff . and jeff is in ohio on our support obama line. what did you think of the debate? caller: i watched a little bit of the first 1. obama as head was hanging down. the whole time i saw ed. this when he was much better at. now i have been democrat all of my life. this has been the hardest one i have ever had to vote. and we have early voting in ohio. i wanted to know what happened to the foreign policy that there were supposed to talk about last night. on benghazi. that was a big thing. i

people entered the convent. they left the world and they became cloistered and as much as possible they dealt with people. not people that were a threat to their religion. so in particular, women religious turned toward the world. things changed. most people probably saw we weren't living in groups of 15 or 20 in one house. trying not to meet anybody. we were dressed in a way that nobody could possibly mistake us for anything other. really quite quickly moved toward as one person said dressing likeearthh people. wearing contemplative clothes. instead of clothes from the 18th century. life within the convent changed. everybody wasn't going to school at 7:30 in the morning and coming back at 4:00 in the afternoon. people were doing more and more diverse things. so at this point, sisters were involved in everything politics, law, medicine, intercity work, work in prisons with delinquents with victims of torture. there isn't any kind of suffering or need in the world at this point that we would say no we don't do th

apparently a lot of people don't. about 1 ter% to 2% of people ar undecided.d their indecision is fodder for shows like "saturday night live." >> before you get our vote, you're going to have to answer some questions. questions like -- >> when is the election? >> what are the names of the two people running? and be specific. >> where is the president right now? michael jones may not be laughing at that because he is still undecided. but cnn contributors ana navarro and lz granderson made up their minds a long time ago. they're probably laughing at the "snl" bit. yes, they are. mr. jones, you voted for president obama last time. i have to ask you why? why haven't you been able to make up your mind this time? >> it's a host of things going on. it could be maybe just a perception problem. from hearing him speak and things going on around you, the reality things might be getting better. but from my perception, things aren't getting better. there's a lot of people out here hurting. there's people having to decide to gas their car up or provide their family with an

copenhagen were that hope to reach people. we do want to affect people's behavior. we're very excited about doing that the right way. i love your ideas now and later. this is tough to see, i apologize, but it is also in our newsletter. these are the top 20 or worst intersections in the city, for collisions. for vulnerable people being hit and injured. it means people walking and biking in 2011, getting hit and injured. these are injury collisions. i bet these won't surprise you. a lot of them are on market street. number one is market noctavia. these are not surprises. most of them are not new areas of problems. i highlight these to transition to enforcement. as much as we educate and campaign and talk, there is still a role for enforcement. we've been working with the police department and your agency to focus on smart enforcement. the police surely don't have enough resources to be everywhere every minute. where do you put your energy. we think you should be putting your energy here. if we know these 20 intersections -- they're not all intersections, 20 locations

people make their own choice. we have to have the benefits high for those low income, but for higher income people, we will have to lower some of the benefits. we have to make sure the program is there for the long run. the idea came not only from paul ryan but also it came from bill clinton's chief of staff. this is an idea that has been around a long time. let's see if we can get competition into the medicare world so people can get the choice of different plans, better quality. i believe in a competition. >> first of all, every study has shown medicare has lowered administrative costs, which is why seniors are generally pretty happy with it. private insurers have to make a profit. there is nothing wrong with that, that is what they do. you have higher administrative costs, plus profit on top of that, and if you are going to save any money through what gov. romney is proposing, what has to happen is that the money has to come from somewhere. when you move to a voucher system, you are putting seniors at the mercy

people are doing a great job. we're going to work through it throughout the evening until tomorrow. >> clearly you anticipated there would be emergency situations but in terms of firetrucks, some of your first responders being stuck stuck because of high water, et cetera. that's something to anticipate. what are you able to do to offer assistance to them so they can continue to assist your residents? >> we've actually sent emergency crews out to help the emergency crews. we have a coordinated effort here. we're able to tap into resources in other parts of the county and first responders that have gone out and helped. we have a very unified front going on. there's been tragedies but we're trying to minimize that by working together and everybody is doing a good job. >> thank you for your time. all the best this evening. >> let's go to new york. sandy is being blamed for the deaths of at least five people there. spokesperson for governor cuomo says one man died when a tree fell on his home. mandatory evacuations are

these people are tourists. tourists is a big industry, people who come to san francisco and appreciate -- they contribute to the economy and it's important that people who visit here have a safe and pleasant experience. i see a lot of people riding through the panhandle so this does make good business sense as well as promote bicycle safety. >> morgan fits gibbons, jerry greenstein, jeffrey. >> my name is morgan fits gibbons i run a neighborhood group called the wake party we want to make our neighborhood more sustainable around the wiggle. so i represent hundreds of people who live in the neighborhood who use the wiggle every day, use fell and oak every day and we enthusiastically support this project. i could talk about the importance of prioritizing the safety of thousands of bicyclists every day, over 55 parked cars. i could talk about the incredibly involved community process that the community has gone through to birth this plan and big thanks to the entire sfmta staff. please give him a raise. i could ta

some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed. team behavior, be calm. you don't want to be excited and crazed. be systematic, demonstrate by example. if you are calm and cool and under control, people will see you are there to help. if you act like

people who have problems with bank accounts, people without two ids, no minimum deposit.e excited to have these people. >> it has been a great partnership with bank on s.f. because we are able to offer checking, savings, minimarkets, certificates, and loans to people who might not be about to get accounts anywhere else. even if you have had a previous account at another financial institutions, we can still open an account for you, so you do not need to go to a check

. >> i think it is crazy, people are getting shot all over the place, the people are scared, parents are scared, somebody has to put a stop to it. >> know that we are coming for you. it is only a matter of time. >> the person doing it, still out there. so far no arrests. >>> the numbers are climbing higher in the deadly fungal meningitis outbreak, according to data released by the cdc on saturday, 23 deaths are now tied to the outbreak. there are 284 total new cases, including three joint infections. most patients got sick after being given contaminated steroid injections used for back and neck pain. >>> the white house is denying a report that iran has agreed to one-on-one talking over its nuclear program. the new york times reported the agreement on the negotiations. but a spokesperson for the national council said that report is not true. he added the u.s. still hopes to find a diplomatic solution. >>> an attempt to at least temporarily stop the bloodshed in syria is being ignored. activists say homes -- homes and other cities came under fire today. more than 200 were killed natio

people on bikes get caught a lot easier than people in cars. and i don't mean to do an either/or, but we literally just heard from a police officer on market street. you're here ticketing bicycles. is there some interest in that. i didn't get stopped, but i wanted to ask what was encouraging this. i wasn't critical. he said bikes are easier to stop than people in cars. he said i literally have to give out so many tickets, and i can't catch people in cars. people on bikes do get tickets. we can get caught. so i think that is a really strong behavioral incentive to do the right thing. but it shouldn't be the only thing. i would love to be working on efforts compaigns, where biking is legitimized, and the infrastructure and other great programs here at the m.t.a. meanwhile, when people do something disrespectful or dangerous, they are given a cost, whether it be a ticket or something more. >> and really quickly to address the bicycle licensing issue. the trick is we don't have the authority to license bicyclists. we can license their bicycles, and

we say help people become independent from welfare, our opponents call it "cruel tories, leaving peopleo fend for themselves." no -- there is only one real route out of poverty and it is work. we say we have got to insist on a disciplined, rigorous education for our children. our opponents call it "elitist tories, old-fashioned and out of touch." no -- a decent education is the only way to give all our children a proper start in this world. [applause] the reason we want to reform schools, to cut welfare dependency, to reduce government spending is not because we are the same old tories who want to help the rich. it is because we are the tories whose ideas help everyone, the poorest the most. a strong private sector. welfare that works. schools that teach. these three things are essential to helping our people rise. they are essential to our success in this world. and you know what -- labour will fight them all the way. so these things are not just the battle-ground for britain's future, they are also the battle-lines for the next election, and it is a fight we have got to win, for our p

the people i grew up with. the people here in lynchburg.include seniors to afford their whole lives to pay for a social security. and did not pay taxes on that. nor should they pay taxes on that. we're talking about the 60,000 warriors risking their lives in afghanistan, pay no income taxes on their salaries. nor should it. speaking of those warriors, how many of you know someone who was been deployed to afghanistan or iraq over the last two decades? we know you. we owe their families. i checked every single day and this morning again with the defense department, how many have lost? i have been in and out of iraq and afghanistan 20 times. there refer to someone killed in action as a fallen agent. -- fallen angel. there have been 6,502 fallen angels. thousands of them require care for the rest of their lives. understand one thing -- barack and i believe as i believe you do that we only have one sacred obligation as americans -- to equip those we sent to war and care for them and their families when they come home. the believe as i think you

so again a lot of people are saying that a lot of people within lebanon itself are starting to raise their red tensions pointing their finger at syria claiming that all of this is a lost of all of this isn't bashar loss of interest not necessarily explaining how but you have to understand that all of these tensions were there to begin with for a very long time they did go through a period of a fifteen year old fifty year fifteen year along civil war so there's something like this doesn't go away just easily of course they can expect that the roads or the lebanon rather would remain in the headlines for the for some future there have been calls for a let's. say and if history is any indication that probably will not and anytime soon if they decide to also go through with some type of revolution overthrowing the government or changing the. situation in the country with details live from tel aviv who's also keeping people notified and posted with her tweets on twitter. thank you. now some lebanese politicians rushed to blame syria for the deadly blast saying the security official killed

people well off hobaugh people but are not so well off.e pitch in and do things to work together. you don't say he is goofing off and he's not paying his mortgage. there are people who did a goof off and didn't pay their mortgage and should have been for close but people are now paying mortgages but an absolutely ridiculous and make no financial sense whatsoever and they think it makes sense to give them a hand. welcome to the adult life. [applause] thank you for coming. my question is the tea party but i have a different angle to it and that is you are pushing an agenda that could be described as partisan by many and about half of the public is pulling the country in a direction that you think in the long run is going to not serve us well and i happen to agree with you. but my point is how do their beliefs fit into this narrative of the stolen american dream? how do the people's opinions of the tea party rallies your voting for lower taxes and for the deregulation they think it's a good thing and they vote for romney thinking they are doi

and we still scare some people a bit. people are not used to this unmediated environment. as long as you drink water, you are probably going to be ok. there is not a lot of criminal activity. everyone is really over provided for. to meet the survival challenge, they oversupplied. superfluous goods that people end up giving away to one another. there is really not a lot of crime. there is too much to do. [laughter] >> could you talk more about that factor, that there is an abundance of good, which is interesting, being in the desert. the economic system that is up there. we talked a long time ago for a "for a magazine" story. one of the things that you said is that commerce, in an of itself, is not the enemy. it is the backbone of civilization. >> to be against commerce is to be against your clothing. who would be against commerce? we just said we are living in a world that has been overly come modified. where everything has been turned into a commodity value. people do not have the identities. we are world full of brands and no identity. you can read your entire life -- yo

a report that the strikes have killed around a dozen people including children but apparently the people of bani walid are not the only ones persecuted by various militia groups in libya we saw the total wiping out of the thirty thousand strong town to want to go many black libyans which the misrata brigades which are also laying siege to bani walid called themselves the brigades for the black screen it's such as that wonderful humanitarian and freedom loving. and discourse that they wiped out the town they've been chasing the people toward the civil war has left libya shredded in pieces with radical islamists taking advantage of the chaos basically what's happening is that in different cities here we pointed out the main ones tripoli is in town misrata each of them has their own army of militias there loosely united as the so-called libyan national shoot at the same time they're not really under the control of the new defense ministry they're basically on their own according to various reports most of them are even suspicious of the new government in tripoli on top of that division you

>> there are people. there may not be many of them, but there are people who are doing just fine. >> so that really, in itself, eliminates a great deal of the stigma, because you're talking about a physiological deficiency, correct? >> yes, and the good thing that's happened is we know much more about what's going wrong in the brains of people who are depressed and anxious now. >> so people who want to continue taking their pills, some of them go off the pills. they experience extreme withdrawl and they also go haywire and they go back on the pills, as molly small describes vividly, right? >> yes. >> so the major lesson that i see here is what is different from old school is that we're talking here about physiology, to some extent? >> i think the big lesson here is if you're having symptoms, see a doctor, and take medicine among other treatment options as a doctor recommends. if you take these medicines the way we recommend, you won't get in any trouble from taking them. yes, there are side effects. it's

these people are my mom and dad, the people i grew up with, my neighbors. they pay more effective tax than governor romney pays in his federal income tax. they are elderly people who, in fact, are living off social security. they are veterans and people fighting in afghanistan right now who are, quote, not paying any taxes. i've had it up to here with this notion that 47% of -- it's about time they take some responsibility here. and instead of signing pledges to grover norquist not to ask the wealthiest among us to contribute to bring back the middle class, they should be signing a pledge saying to the middle class, we're going to level the playing field. we're going to give you a fair shot again. we are going to not repeat the mistakes we made in the past by having a different set of rules for wall street and main street. making sure that we continue to hemorrhage these tax cuts for the superwealthy. they're pushing a continuation of a tax cut that will give an additional $500 billion in tax cuts to 120,000 families. and they're holding hostage the middle

and people know that and that's why people aren't on the barricades.here's no manifesto to be waving. >> one caveat i would like to throw in there is that any time youft propose anything that has any kind o government, you know, component to it there's utomatic criticism that it's communist and socialist. when you come up with a solution, theu boundaries are let's come up with a solution that doesn't ndve, the -- that can't be criticized as being communist or social t. and that is incredibly difficult for people to work around. >> okay. but let's at least see the new i ideas. >> sure. >> my argument is, we are living through equally profound eco mic transformations and we're just trying to rehash and retinker with the 20th century institutions. i don't think it's enough. >> matt taibbi,iahrtys c freeland, thank you very mu for being with me. >> thank you. >> pleasure, bill. here's our significant revelation of which you may not be aware. the plutocratknow it and they love it. and the rest of us should be forewarned.kn when the supreme court made its in

as a child before, but -- but i know that people -- when people get bullied and when people use theust offensive. >> tim, what i -- you know, you come from obviously a big family with presidential history to it. there is sort of a sense of washington getting so poisonous, the punditry and commentary, the language being deployed and casually deployed about the president, about great politicians in this country is getting so ridiculous, that it just diminishes everybody. >> i think this is why people like -- the athletes of special olympics, frank is an extraordinary representative of them, they have such a powerful message, it almost is like a nation of bullies. we bully people in sports, kids in school, right bullies left, left bullies right. frank and his fellow athletes, there is not a partisan issue. this movement supported by republicans fabulously and no attempt to make political points. what we're trying to do with ms. coulter and everybody, not just her. not personal to her. as frank has said in his letter, he sees her as a friend he just hasn't met yet. we're trying to say a

these people are educating people in terms of spiritual, keeping them alive, forums, meetings.hey have done a tremendous job and they have honored the people who have kept the legacy of the spirit alive. that's at 4:00 today. >> it was very interesting being, after the convocation,s in november, there is a black religious scholars group at the church. but it's howard thurman's birthday. so that's exciting. that's november the 18th at the church. the place was stacked. that was a remarkable, remarkable experience. >> the church has never been a large membership. >> no. >> and why do you think that is, because it's so unique? >> it's unique. many people -- what the fellowship church does and does very well and sometimes, people come in for a year, two years, experience it and go back to -- >> what they are called to do >> right. in the beginning, the church had dual membership. you could be a member of another church and themembershipship church. people wanted to come for the civil rights components but didn't want to leave their church. on now, we try to actually -- we establish

for about six months i was homeless growing up i mean i know how hard it is people think that people here do just drug drug addicts or you know someone who just can't get a job and for many average americans just getting by is a daily struggle considering that i'm on the verge of homelessness right now and think about it all the time i probably wouldn't because i'm concerned about that every damn i like for most users project is an excessive challenge they'd rather not take my children with i don't do it myself i don't care about it really. you know it's an argument. but. you know we're all a little bit selfish instead of waiting for politicians to. change you try to take matters into their own hands. as as a as a city as a seat at the front if. for now we're back on our weakest. zero zero most vulnerable there's a lot more the politicians could do and there's a lot more that they should until then it's people like you taking one step at a time a new build. a future going to parties. to talk more about eustace experience and poverty and america i was joined by r t correspondent ana s

but now people want to hear it. that can be disconcerting t can be disconcerting. >> yeah. >> rose: to have that interest. >> do you ever say to yourself am i that interesting? >> i done give that many interviews because to be honest i just get sick of the sound of my own voice. i just think i don't have enough opinions to fill-- i don't know. it's-- you work in a hungry medium, you know. and i find it-- yeah, sometimes quite intimidating. >> rose: it is a larger point. is writing what it is that you are happiest when you are in search of a character and where that character is going to take you. >> you know when i'm happiest is when i'm about two-thirds of the way through a book and always at that point i'm flying. always, i'm flying. and i'm just, that is the place i live to be. two-thirds of-- wake up in the morning, i'm about two thirsd of the way through, i know exactly where i am going and have the wol day to write. that to me is a perfect day. >> rose: and do you try to perfect each sentence or do you want to

at the face becomes more baby-faced, people say that person looks less competent. >> people make decisionsoks. >> mitt romney and obama appear about equal. consultants even worry about the people who stand behind the candidate. at this obama rally, people were already seated behind the podium when a staffer, highlighted here, came on stage and got some white people to move out. >> if you look at a candidate for president, he's got a bunch of people behind him, half will be men, half will be women. >> and a certain number will be of a different race. in this case, the result is that the camera now will see some minorities behind obama. >> there will be a percentage of blacks, hispanics, a percentage of asians. that's the way you do it. >> i thought it just worked out that way. >> you did? that's why you're sitting where you're sitting and i'm sitting where i'm sitting. you don't have a clue how this works. >> people have to be cynical about baby kissing. >> kids are a particular attraction. i like to use kids. i'm always worried they'll pick up a baby and drop it. >> how much superficialall

people who need help. with regard to abortion, i accept my church's position on abortion as what we call a di fete doctrine. i refuse to oppose it on equally devout christians and muslims and jews and i just refuse to impose that on others. unlike my friend here, the congressman. i -- i do not believe that we have a right to tell other people, women, they can't control their body. u.s. a decision between them and their doctor in my view, and the supreme court. i'm not going to interfere with that. wr regard to the assault on the catholic church, let me make it absolutely clear, no religious institution, catholic or otherwise, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. that is a fact. now with regard to the way in which we differ, my friend says that he -- i guess he accepts governor romney's position. in the past, he has argued that there was rape and forcible rape, and he's argued in the case of rape or incest, it would be a crime

we are asking people what they're thinking in getting some feedback. >> for a lot of people i am surehis combination looks very wrong. it might not sound right on paper but when you taste it to or have it in your mouth, it is a variety. this is one of the best ways in creating community. people gather around and talk about it and get to know different cultures. that brings people together and i hope more off the grid style and people can mingle and interact and remove all our differences and work on our similarities. this creates opportunity. >> the time has come and i am very hungry. what have you got? >> i got this from on the go, a sandwich, and a caramel cupcake. i went with home cooking. what de think? >> i will have another bite. >> sounds good. >> that was fantastic. let's start with you. >> i had the fried mac and cheese, and twinkies. i wanted to get something kind of classic with a twist on it. >> it was crispy.
