[applause] >> thank you, peter. [applause] >> let's hear a thunderous round of aapplause for our two award recipients this evening. >> i sure you have taken a look at your programs and you can see what is going to be happening next. when we say latinos, we really, really imply art and music and creativity. that's why our next band is going to bring to us the heart and the soul of the latino community in san francisco. and while they get ready, i want to tell you a little bit about them. you have seen them playing before, right? >> they're truly amazing. how many have seen this band perform? >> what is also very interesting about them is that they are are relatively a new band. they were formed in august 2003. they have 14 young musicians that adore playing music. the director is jose and miguel. so they are here. and we really, really need to give them -- i really like to hear a big, big round of applause for them. [applause] >> i think one of the things that we also need to acknowledge is the great pride in the lar

. >> the points peter made were very good ones. whether it's the planning or possible solutions, whether it's trying to get land use departments of our various countys to pay attention under the regulatory or legislative aspect, somebody even mentioned taxes, to make tough choices whether their solutions peter made or raising fees or taxes to support these efforts because some of these solutions - eventhough - in the long run will pay off, initially, they will mean some action, some heavy lifting by our coleagues and heavy lifting by our different elected leaders. to get that done, i believe it goes back to the point of public engage meant so, what i'd like to do right now is say, let's follow up on the comment that lester snow made about getting a communications plan going. one of the things to kick that off today i'd like to say the san francisco public utilities commission will be able to pledge one hundred thousand. my budget, well we have one vote but i think we can get unanimous support for that. but get a hundred thousand fo

in the idea of peter peter lehner letter finishing letter letter finish your point ok there are there there's some support for social programs here in mexico we have opportunity that isn't theirs but recall that what these countries did in others in other senses to get into the place where they are now are for example many of them withdrew from the realm of the i.m.f. because they were not willing to accept the kind of conditioning and the austerity of the state in particular that went along with it the policies that we're saying now even if in some cases the international financial institute support them are policies of greater intervention in the state and this is gone counter to the world bank and the financial institute's lied for many many times and yet it's precisely this which has been able to eliminate some of the tremendous inequalities that were causing social unrest and there were causing misery throughout the continent so i think that there's been a real break with central american countries and it's the break that's. article four at the rate that they rejected the free tr

kaiser report peter schiff thanks max yes my radio show that peter schiff show goes live today you can hear it around the world on ship radio dot com a monday through friday six pm to eight pm eastern standard time all right now. now peter you've done as a remarkable job popularizing economics but i want to move on to something which has come up on the radar of many around the world what's being called the currency wars and i don't know if you followed jim rickards buddies talking about the fact that the u.s. can conduct their crazy monetary experiments as they're doing now because the u.s. has a plan b. which is that a gold standard backed by its eight thousand tons of gold could be augmented by an additional six thousand tons of gold held at the new york fed by other countries that store their gold that the new york fed there six thousand tons of it that the u.s. could simply seize that gold and put it under lock and key but what are your thoughts on this i haven't heard anything about rumors that we would nationalize gold owned by foreigners i held a news story here in the us i gues

to shawn powers he's an assistant professor at georgia state university and in new york we cross to peter hart the activism director at fairness and accuracy in reporting and another member of our cross talk team and the hunger all right if i can go to you sean first why are the two things are going on here obviously there are new global english language stations coming on line r.t. came on line five years ago or less than that was al jazeera press t.v.'s out there right now the chinese are going to be pouring an enormous amount of money into an english language station but at the same time there are people that are afraid of these stations in the united states so some people want more news a different perspective and other people appear to be afraid of that perspective what is some of the trends that you see. well there's there's certainly a massive amount of government investment or reinvestment international broadcasting is as you pointed out and the english language along with the arabic language are both priorities for most governments in the united states there's always been a cultu

your comment peter peter and i just want to comment about being a dictator and i'm sure ever i let you finish a bit and i gave. you much time let's keep it a portion and extend you want to be doing time three of you seem to have peter peter i believe i just think that way she answers about all three of you have a very strong one so i'd like to finish ok one more job this is undeniably a man who acts like a strong man he is in the electoral dictator that means he allows elections meanwhile he puts a stranglehold on freedom of speech puts in prisons those who disagree with them and with regard to the next elections the number one candidate in that has outpolled him over and over again. as a former mayor actually is disqualified along with four hundred other people from running for the next election so one has to put that into context and think act like a dictator if you look at how he refers to the media how you were first of those who oppose him as sakes as reward for use as you said you said this before you said you really are in the program so of a go ahead because we're running out o

about i'm sorry with regard to your comment peter peter and i don't want to comment about on charges being a dictator and i'm sorry ever i let you finish a bit and i gave you the title she was saying i am let's keep it up or should it stand you want to be doing three of you seem to have peter peter i just think how a sense is about the three of you have a very strong one so i'd like to finish ok one more job is undeniably a man who acts like a strong man he is an electoral dictator that means he allows elections meanwhile he puts a stranglehold on freedom of speech puts in prisons those who disagree with them and with regard to the next elections the number one candidate and that has outpolled him over and over again your base of former mayor actually is disqualified him. with four hundred other people from wanting for the next election so one has to put that into context and think. like a dictator if you look at how he refers to the media how you were first to those who oppose him as stakes as rewarding where you stand as usual you've seen this before you should you really are so of

to synthesize and follow up, i like peters comments. one of this things we do when we talk to more and more people is seeing a transition from a world we were focused on and meeting a regulatory world and now we're being asked to look external and further from the small boundaries of our communities and where do we sit. some of the ways we're helping and thinking of how to move forward is here is a set of what we have to do to meet the current set. how do we understand it's pervasive and crosses the miles of federal organizations. how do we use this world today in our,cip, planning to create platforms to leverage the real actions in the years and legacies we're putting together? >> thank you. >> one of the things we've noticeed our community climate development plan is greenhouse gases reduction metric, is pretty key integrator for integrating a lot of different activities so we've kind of adopted this approach of, an adopt the,un,fc. what needs to be done in order to do this we have to look forward 50 years ahead and we have to say, ok

ok peter you want to jump in i guess my answer to that is i think one thing that's worth. i think one thing that's worth pointing out in that case in particular with the war was that there was official state censorship israel barred reporter from entering the gaza strip to cover that story so you did have outlets that had reporters who were there prior to the war particularly al-jazeera who were in a unique position to show the effects of the war firsthand c.n.n. had reporters camped out on the hillsides overlooking the gaza strip from israel that's a very difficult way to cover any kind of war and you know c.n.n. and other outlets lodged official protest with the israeli government they were all for not but al-jazeera was in a unique opportunity to present the other side of that war in a very fundamental way they were the ones who were there as the. gentlemen to jump in here we've run out of time many thanks my guest today in baton rouge atlanta and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. see you next time and remember across talked. to. seventy ye

welcome back to crossfire i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're talking about the prospects for latin america. before let's look at the region's ties with russia the history of relations between russia and latin american countries cannot be said to have been. but in recent years they have experienced some significant suits both politically and economically. diplomatically. for the sims and in two thousand and six two thousand and eight. billion dollars russia is also one of the key military supplies with the weakening of u.s. influence in latin america to russia may be. all right peter i'd like to go to you and i to continue on a font that laura brought up before the break has the united to have the grip of the united states has had on latin america is it coming to an end and it will come to a complete end relatively soon. well let me let me just go back and i'll answer that question in the course of what i say. i'm very glad to hear laura particularly so upbeat about latin america and particularly latin america's economic and social progress. because she is cheering a. economic a set

three of you seem to have peter peter i just think how a sense is about as a three of you have a very strong one so i'd like to finish ok one more job this is undeniably a man who acts like a strongman he has an electoral dictator that means he allows elections meanwhile he puts a stranglehold on freedom of speech puts in prisons those who disagree with him and with regard to the next elections the number one candidate in that has outpolled him over and over again. a former mayor actually is disqualified. with four hundred other people from running for the next election so one has to put that into context and think i just act like a dictator if you look at how he refers to the media how you were first of those who oppose him as the stakes as reward for your stairs using you send this message are you sure you really are so over go ahead because we're running. again because all three of you. i mean sure would you please let someone else have a word. go ahead please go. i'm not it's really. unfortunate that you cared so much space to such an individual who really has absolutely zero cred

as what he says to peter.and he's yelling at peter for not being true to the gospel and not being true to christ and not being true to this vision of things, and what he's really yelling at peter about is food. >> and the way paul tells it is, he says, "well, you know, i... i... i confronted peter publicly. i told him he was a hypocrite. i told him off to his face. i told him off in front of everybody." end of story. well, the story doesn't really have an end. you know, we... we'd like paul to tell us that, after he told peter off, he... he sort of skulked back to jerusalem with his tail between his legs, and then paul gave james and his party the what-for, and then he threw them out, or something like that. nothing like that. paul's completely silent. now, this suggests to us that paul had... indeed had a showdown in antioch. he did face off with peter. he didn't win. he didn't carry the day, at least not that day. so this suggests to us that james' party was influential, and influential outside the... its je

but my comment is to peter. how many other political figures have you interviewed over the past few years? have you ever super viewed another president? education of a president? there have ever been any oth presidents that you did this kind of an article on? guest: thank you for the question. this is my third president i've covered. i've cord president clinton president bush. and it's interesting to see different presidents over time. what strikes me is the familiarity, actually, that these areery different men, of course, bill clinton, george bush, and barack obama and yet some things are universal. being in that office, being in that position i thi regardless of ideology puts individual men and eventually women in a very familiar position. and in terms of their own personality, in terms of the way they run their white house, there's some interesting parallels as well. i sort of see president obama in a way kind of a cross between president clinton and president bush in some ways. not ideologically but in the

and peter hart who do their poll, peter hart said he thought category four hurricane, mcinturf said 52 or 53 seat for the republicans. if the election today, where do you think it is? >> i would say the republicans have enough to get over that hump of 39. they need 39 seats picked up in their favor to become the majority party. we'll see how these last ten days play out. war wafer you're not even going to say... >> i don't know where the number will be but when you see that likely voter number and see that ten point spread in favor of the republicans, that tells you there is a big wave coming the democrats' way and right now i think it puts the house in jeopardy for them. >> warner: all right, david, thank you. >> sure. >> brown: next, "newshour" correspondent paul solman on a project aimed at determining what's really in herbal supplements. >> reporter: though we rarely do consumer stories, at the new york botanical garden not long ago we happened on one we just couldn't resist: that in one of

peter, it is great to have you on the program. >> thanks. great to be here. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> sure. >> so your dad is warren buffett? >> yes. >> the third wealthiest person in the world, worth $47 billion. >> but who is counting. >> but who is counting, right. forbes and fortune. he is still lives in the house in omaha where you grew up. >> that's right. when i go home i sleep in my bedroom. >> oh my goodness. what was your life like? >> incredibly normal. i live two blocks from where my mother grew up. i would walk down to see my grandparents. i walked to public school. i had the same english teacher my mother had. it just goes on and on. the house still doesn't have a fence around it. so it was a very typical american upbringing. >> but was there a moment in time when you figured out wow, my dad is a very wealthy man. we're a wealthy family. did that change you? how did that impact you? it's got to be hard to absorb that as a kid. >> the funny thing is and i'm telling you the truth, i probably didn't know that until i

peter orszag and rahm emanuel were entirely different. you mentioned peter orszag leaving. his first public move after leaving was to write a column pulling the rug out from under his former boss on the tax issue. the question of putting people in positions of power on the staff when they have their own ambitions and agendas will come at some point in conflict. >> we want see pete rouse on sunday talk shows. >> no, we won't. this is inside, but i think it got bush in trouble initially to have it tight group of people around him. it is already getting obama into trouble.

to discuss the future of latin america i'm joined by peter hakim in washington he's the president of the internet american dialogue in london we go to oscar got to be olivera he is a senior lecturer in law at birkbeck college university of london and the author of the recent book what if latin america ruled the world and in mexico city we cross to laura carlsen director of the americas policy program for the center of international policy and another member of our cross talk team yell on the hunger all right folks cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i to go to you first oscar as things stand right now in latin america you have what we if we use a traditional political lexicon countries that are on the left in countries that are on the right but given the region as a whole is there a left right continuum that is a specific latin american way of doing politics now and i'm keeping in mind the tragedies that latin america has has come over cheve since the one nine hundred seventy s. . the answer to your question is yes absolutely has to be recognized an

peter orszag and rahm emanuel were entirely different. you mentioned peter orszag leaving. his first public move once he got out was to write a column pulling the rug out from his former boss on the tax issue. there is a question of putting people in positions of power on staff when they have their own ambitions, their own agendas, and it will some point come in conflict. >> you will not see pete rouse on the sunday talk shows. >> no, we won't. i think that bush into trouble eventually to help a tight group of people around him. it is already getting obama into trouble. it is not a question of bringing in an outsider as the chief of staff. it is making sure you actually have contact with a lot of other people. i don't mean in the political sense. i mean actually talking to them, doing a few less media interviews and a few more chats with, let's say, business leaders who really disagree with him about some things. you can actually learn something. >> larry summers and peter orszag and christina romer gone, will there be any change in economic policy? >> the times will dictat

peter, what's going on out there really?l, with food prices, there's a drought in the southern midwest and so forth, which is driving up the cost of keeping livestock. all the growth in china is driving up commodity prices, oil. you know, every time a job leaves the u.s. midwest for china, world oil consumption goes up because the chinese make things so much less efficiently when it comes to energy use. and someone moves from the country he in china into the city and becomes a consumer of air-conditioning. >> you draw this real direct link between what's happening in the u.s./china relationship to what i'm paying at the grocery store. >> exactly. >> and i wonder if that's going to be a theme that will continue as we go into next year. because certainly these commodity rallies. they certainly beg some attention, don't you think? >> absolutely. and you know, china's set a goal. a liter of milk for every child. they can't make it themselves. they import it from germany and europe, well, they feed those cows grain. as their inco

well that's certainly true peter. whether whether we think that it's worse because of the financial crisis or not i'm i doubt it but regulatory capture of regulatory agencies and legislators certainly in this country is a phenomenon that i think everybody has acknowledged forever but it's just not part of the political rhetoric. thirty three years ago we started with the foreign corrupt practices act and we've been exporting our standards to the rest of the world while ignoring them here. i know that danny has spent a lot of time on that sort of thing but. it's not just corporations it's the institutions it's the entire system it's the way it's set up we call it democracy and yes it's a wonderful system but it is not perfect and it's certainly not what we teach our children in the third grade ok dave if i can go to you a lot of people would say the grease is the works of a lot of corruption is lobbyists and that's why you're on the program do you how do you feel about that obviously you would disagree but what role do
