are you saying you won't vote for any more piecemeal appeals?> what i'm telling you now is that i'm going to support the ranking member on the budget committee that says the piecemeal approach won't work. and as a matter of fact, it's a very dangerous way to allow the republicans to get at their real agenda, which is to protect defense. my concern on friday was for air safety. so i think chris van hollen is absolutely right. >> that's congresswoman karen bass. you heard it here on national television. thank you for that, i really appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> chris christie said today the president kept every promise he made on relief for hurricane sandy but six months after sandy, there's a big question we need to ask about how we keep our promises to the next storm's victims. i'll explain next. what are you doing? oh, hey. using night-vision goggles to keep an eye on my spicy buffalo wheat thins to make sure nobody touches them. who's gonna take your wheat thins? um, i don't know. an intruder, the dog, bigfoot, ted from next door. hey, coul

we can't take the piecemeal approach. >> can i ask you a question? >> sure. >> you were knocking on doors today. >> yes. >> were you hearing about the faa vote at the door? do people know about it? were people riled up about it? >> no, to be honest with you, they weren't. i'll tell you what they were riled up about. medicare, riled up about the meals on wheels and headstarts because i talked to a lot of moms today. and they essentially are in a panic. they don't want to lose their jobs. if they don't have child care, they're going to wind up losing their jobs. that's what head start, the role it plays in addition to educating our children before they get to kindergarten, also a way parents can go to work. >> john mccain said this weekend that congress after being part of the unanimous consent that came from the senate for the faa deal. no one in the senate was willing to be courageous enough to actually vote on the record for it. it was a unanimous consent. senator john mccain had this to say about the priorities in congress which i thought were pret

so, you mentioned segmentation which is also referred to piecemealing. ~ quote-unquote piecemealing. >>> yes. >> you can't take a project and break it up in smaller views and say it's dee minute miss, so, therefore, there's no environmental impact report. >>> yes. >> you have to take everything in aggregate. >>> environmental review at all is what we're talking about here. >> and, so, 10 years ago there was one story added, is my understanding? >>> well, they stripped the house that was there and built another house. >> built another house, exactly, i'm sorry. it used to be there was -- >>> i had a picture -- let me just put it here. that's the old house which was two. >> right, and it was replaced with the new construction. and then now they want to add an additional story? >>> yes. >> so, if -- let's say that the current structure that was there had been there for 50 or 60 years and it was the original construction. >>> so the carriage house. >> the carriage house was -- let's say back in the '40s or whenever it was built, they had the modern architecture. let's say it was there in

. >> president addressing the continued partisan stalemate over the sequester and the piecemeal bill he supported to resolve the faa furloughs. >> the fact that congress responded to the short term problem of flight delays by giving us the option of shifting money that is designed to repair and improve airports over the long term to fix the short term problem, that's not a solution. so essentially, what we've done is we've sai inrder to avoid delays this summer, we're going to ensure delays for the next two or three decades. >> joining me live, our "news nation" political panel. the former u.n. ambassador, excuse me, and colnist and nbc contributor raul reyes. thank you for joining us. governor richardson, i would like to start with you to get your reactions on the comments regarding guantanamo bay. first let me play a little more of what the president said in this news conference. >> it is not a surprise to me that we've got problems in gh a guantanamo which is why when i was campaigning in 2007 and 2008, and when i was elected in 2008, i said we need to close guantanamo. i continue

that have taken place as a result of the automatic cuts, sort of handling the sequestration in a piecemealat a time, as these issues become politically untenable. >> well, it's an interesting theory, rick. i was trying to think, what other set of cuts would affect a very upscale, very educated group that is likely to vote and would care deeply? and you can come up with, you know, the airlines. i'm not sure buses would do or other modes of transportation. maybe amtrak in the northeast corridor. certainly certain senior citizen programs, 'cause they vote. but the problem is, you and i are discussing this, not because it happens all the time, but because it's so rare that we see congress working the way it's supposed to work. this is how they're supposed to work every day. find common ground, get things done, work out reasonable solutions and we're practically having a party because they did it once. >> but i guess i'm asking you, do you think they could do it again? are we going to see some other cuts be restored in this kind of a way, whether it's cuts to the pentagon or whether it's cuts t

the house is taking a bit after different approach, more after piecemeal approach. are they in all of this? >> the theories i've been hearing floating around is they will indeed take a piecemeal approach in order to protect the members, the members that are a hom home genius comprehensive bill. they can vote against some others and maybe abstain and maybe at conference committee see more after comprehensive look to that bill. of course, ultimately it has to be voted up or down but in the short term i'm optimistic the house leadership isn't attacking it from a different way from the senate. >> folks i talked to on the hill have said that hold up on this proposal is over the high-tech visas. beth sides want them. obama is for them. both sides want it raise the caps so that we allow more high-tech visas to be allocated. but democrat don't want to move on the so-called diversity visas. about 55,000 visas awarded by lottery to immigrant it countries underrepresented. is that sort of presenting us with a false choice between high-tech workers and immigrants from exotic co

so we're going to see it in the a piecemeal in the house. i think we're going get a lot of legislations out of the house. and once they come into conference, you know, we're going to get a bill that will be comprehensive. >> how much have things changed in terms of the tenor of this, particularly in house part? the house republican caucus is probably the most conservative legislative caucus we've seen in many, many years, generations, possibly. have you -- what is the tenor of the rhetoric amongst your republican colleague there's, and it is moving in a direction where you can actually see something getting done? >> i think we're going to have something accomplished. and i think it's because -- stephen colbert said until the scientists can create a way for a hispanic woman to give birth to an old white man, the republicans for politics are going to have to be for immigration reform. and they are. they realize that they're going to be dragged into the 21st century as they have been on other issues. they're being dragged on health care. they'r

even if they're dealing with it piecemeal until then. >> great pleasure have you gone on. this is the part of our gut check. we'll ask you your thoughts on that faa bill. >>> and the surviving boston terrorist suspect in a federal prison after being removed from the hospital this morning. we're learning exclusive new details about the bombs allegedly built by the two brothers. plus, president obama becomes the first sitting president to address planned parenthood today. >> when politicians tried to turn planned parenthood into a punching bag, they're not just talking about you. they're talking about the millions of women who you serve. >> we'll play you more of the president's remarks. we'll be joined by erin carmone. , he's agreed to give it up. that's today? [ male announcer ] we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. i was okay, but after lunch my knee started to hurt again. and now i've got to take more pills. ♪ yup. another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? ♪ for my pain, i want my aleve. ♪ [ male announcer ] look for the easy-open red arthrit

>> first of all, i agree with steny hoyer that, in fact, it shouldn't be done piecemeal. that the sequester should have been one that we gave enough discretion to all departments to make the kinds of cuts that are made with a scalpel and not with a saw. and what people are witnessing across this country, with long lines, with delayed flights, is more than an inconvenience. it is affecting everyone's productivity. so, i think this measure that would allow the faa to take money, savings that it has from other accounts, and place it into accounts so we don't have to furlough the air traffic controllers, makes sense. but we should be doing this across the entire federal budget. >> but congresswoman, do you think that the senate has really pitched you a hot potato on what the furlough fix means and the fact that steny hoyer and you, you have objections and certain capacities. but does that mean that people around the country are going to continue to be held hostage to the fact that airports aren't moving and the fact that there are needed staff members that are going to be fur

later and get this seamless impression of this beautiful melody and harmony, yet, it is processed piecemealone of the sources of information of this is we have patients who are damaged in one focal portion of the brain and they lose one of those elements while retaining the others. they may lose rhythm or they will have to pitch and harmony. >> is it processed in real time? simultaneously? >> yes, but quickly. when i say later, later in brain time means maybe 1/30 of a second later. any second, it can be disrupted , and you to organic brain injury or trauma, it can be disrupted. it is remarkable. the player, at some level, perhaps unconsciously, are having to think about the elements unconsciously. >> i teach a lot of workshops and a lot of people come to play our master classes, they come with their own performance, arrangement. they are looking for feedback. one of the things that i always say, because, as a musician, we try to get everything at once. all of the elements. we tried to simultaneously get the rhythm, melody, the subtleties, dynamics, accent, all those things that make music

what's going on in the house, they're trying to deal with this piecemeal. first you move on agricultural worker visas, then you move on, say, security checks by employers, and then they push border security down the road. that's where it will never get done. >> that, i agree with. i brought that point up as well with rand paul. anyway, i think this thing is dead. stick a fork in it. i don't think it should be, but i think in this environment, no one wants to be in the front of the line saying, i got a legal immigration plan. i just don't think it's going to happen any time soon. >> well, neil, i found that over my many years of talking to you, that's my name dropping fors segment is that you are almost always right on these tactical political issues where it doesn't have anything to do with ideology. i'm sad to hear you say that. >> what's the rush in this environment? i don't want to look like i'm giving up on these things at all that neil's panelists were talking about. >> i think you're right. the reason i say i'm sad, pandering, we -- politics is papped

let's do it on a piecemeal basis versus people like lindsay graham and marco rubio and others who sayat once, it needs to be comprehensive, not piece by piece. that was the dynamic in truth i think that was going to emerge even pre-boston. i think some folks who wanted to be that piecemeal approach are citing boston as a way to say let's pass a little more popular elements. but i don't know that we know exactly what boston means for immigration or frankly for anything else as it relates to political washington. it's just too soon. we're standing so close to the picture. i feel like we don't have proper perspective. >> the politicians are obviously also clearly looking to see what the shock waves are going to be. even though on the face of it, the facts do not bear up any relationship with the overriding immigration debate. >> that's right. >> thank you very much, chris cillizza. >> thank you. >>> and coming up next, boston strong, now more than ever. [ male announcer ] ok, here's the way the system works. let's say you pay your guy around 2% to manage your money. that's not much you t

remember we want to move it through piecemeal and get it done and projects and treatments are easy for me and you to advocate to get the projects funded. what is the potential? how can we close the gap? >> i know that you have two slides left and i am noting the time and i know many members of the public are waiting to speak and i'm going ask to you rush through the last two slides. >> i can rush. >> this is really important but i appreciate it. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> i'm going to go really quick. so where is our potential? right now we project potential on top of what is on the strategy from 56 to $80 million and there is a proposal in the 10 year plan. we project conservatively what we can do in grants. we can probably do better there. the mta and will have another bond issuance and another opportunity and development impact fees and our transportation sustainability fee has a source dedicated towards improvements and the five steps and how can we do it, closing the gap, promoting interdisbraigz and pre-planning and testing the best things and funding projects to phase and l

what is going on in the house, they will try to deal with it piecemeal. first you move on agriculture worker vissasas and then security checks by employers. then they push border security down the road. that is where it will never get done. >> neil: i think this thing is dead. i don't think it should be, but in this environment, no one wants to be in the front of the line saying, i got illegal immigration plan. i just don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. >> you know, neil, i found over my many years talking to you, that is my name dropping segment --. >> neil: true. >> it doesn't have to do with ideology. i'm sad to hear you say that. >> neil: so it would delay something. what is the rush, i don't want to look like i'm giving up on all these things that the panelists were talking about. >> i think you are right. the reason i'm sad to hear that, i don't pander -- politics is pandering. that is like a given. we're not rushing here. we've been trying do immigration reform since president george w. bush tried and failed because his party wouldn't su

"but you cannot do it all at once, you've got to do it piecemeal, so, you try and fish through it all, it approved, build it and then not get in trouble with the inspector taking out more of the building than you designated you were going to." builders already know how to game the system and some do it every day. it's not right to make us predict that a project initially presented as a an -- approved as an innocent remodel will result in one that violates the law through serial permits or outrageous section. and please do not confuse the rights of appeal of a building permit with the rights of appeal of a ceqa decision. they address different public concerns. please let us all have a chance to hear and consider supervisor kim's legislation and do not vote on this today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> good afternoon. edward mottser, [speaker not understood]. we urge continuation of the vote on the wiener amendment here today. i would like focus my discussion specifically on 31.16, the automatic appeal and how this section introduces additional levels of confusion and uncert

house leadership has not agreed if they want to move small piecemeal bills, maybe like a dream act or act jobs or border security bill. they've already done the stem bill. they did that last congress. if they want to do that way and kind of drop these little pieces at the feet of the senate and say ok we've done part of our deal, you can either rectify the situation for four or five million people or leave them in limbo and hold out for a comprehensive bill. that's the point where we get into a really interesting political dynamic and as somebody who enjoys the game of politics i'd be interested to see how that would play out. host: rebecca tallent, our guest, immigration policy directors at the bipartisan policy center and former chief of staff for senator john mccain from 2012 through 2013 and worked with him in previous years, as well, and helped draft immigration legislation reform in 2006 and 2007. mike in miami, republican, thanks for waiting. go ahead. caller: thank you very much. listen. i'm calling from miami but i live and work on the southwest border, particularly el paso,

number one, the department believes the project history does not constitute piecemealing and as such is consistent with c-e-q-a guidelines. the existing side setback does not constitute any sort of unusual circumstance. the building on the subject property was not a carriage house and is not constructed 10 years ago. it is a building that was constructed in 1946, while it does encroach two feet into the required setback, it is legal and as such any change to this building, including the addition as long as it doesn't increase the discrepancy, is code complying and is consistent with the planning code in regards to the front setback. number three, the statement made about the condition made by the planning commission, again, is simply a condition. it is not a mitigation to address any sort of significant impact. and furthermore, the planning commission oftentimes do make conditions and [speaker not understood] despite what the appellant is asserting. number four, the project was thoroughly reviewed not once but twice by the residential design team of the planning department and was de

one thing i'll say is i think the best course would be to resolve this entire issue and not do it piecemeal. i know it will be probably tempting in budget discussion say put a little money here, little money there to try to deal with, with parts of the problem. but this is a pretty deep systemic issue. and ideally we would find a way just to resolve it and stop having this sort of patch work of maintenance which results in some trees being healthy and wonderful and others deteriorating. >> supervisor mar. >> i wanted to thinkthv to the apprenticeship program enhancement request. and it looks like it's 1.7 million and it would help to fund this apprenticeship program, which would provide 12 new apprentices and training for 52 apprentices. was that previously funded by federal stimulus dollars? where did the funding come from to initiate it? >> so, most of the stimulus dollars that the department gets, fund pre-apprenticeses. so, most of the individuals you see out on the streets or helping, those are pre-apprentices. the request here is for the apprentices program themselves. we have several

is this the way congress is going to work from now on dealing with high profile problems on a piecemealasis. it might be something else the next day? if the republicans get their way it will be. they wanted to reserve these flight delays, which are a big headache for members in both parties but do it without the tax çincreases. this is a deal on republican terms. the president knows that as the chief executive of the country, he bears some of the heat when bad things happen. whether or not they come to the table to have a budget negotiation with me. he's the one who folded on this and so did democrats in the senate. question is going to be when we get beyond this particular issue. we talk about defense and defense contractors and all the small businesses that rely on defense gartment contracts. are they going to put pressure on congress? we know that kids who are not going to be part of head start any more don't have the capacity to do that. >> i'm sure in this case not only were the people in congress hearing it from the constituents, they were living it when they travel home as they

talking about maybe going for some piecemeal bills, doing hearings, trying to see where there are points everyone can agree on and move those bills. it's not clear right now how those all get merged together. i guess i could say, given the political pressure on this, i imagine they'll find a way to do a process, i don't know what the end result of the process is, but i imagine they find a way to get something fairly broad on the house floor at some point. >> does this house gang of eight come up with something, will they have some proposal and if so when would we hear about it? >> i think they will actually have a proposal and i've heard different versions from different members of the gang, of the house gang, a lot of them when they talk they are careful about say, i can't reveal who they are but i think they have legislative text and have for years on some of these provisions. i heard they were having trouble with one of the pieces involving a new work visa program, that's also been a bit of an issue in the senate so it's not a surprise they'd be having difficulty. but in the end it wo

i like what wee going to do on the judiciary committee, which is a piecemeal approach. to pass a guest worker plan. we're going to pass a bill to admit more immigrants who had the skills we need in america d the skills they need to get jobs and take care of their families. we're going to pass an e-verify bill to make sure employers hire workers who are in the country legally. and make sure that american workers are protected. so, i think we're going to do it right on the house judiciary committee and i think that's th1 direction you'll see congress go. >> congressman, always good to talk with you. appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >>> make your voice heard. join the discussion, go to loudobbs.com, go to our facebook page, tweet me @loudobbsnews. >>> the advertising industry goes viral. how the internet changes the way people advertise and you'll meet the leaders of one of the most dynamic viral thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history. ins

it's piecemeal. it's going in the wrong direction on tax reform, and it's not helpful for the big tax reform effort that we really do need. melissa: bottom line is that you tax what you want to discourage. what message are they sending here? they want to discourage savings, maybe they want to discourage private equity. talking about carried interest and taxing that as ordinary income, they want to tax that kind of capital being put to work in that way. is it wrong to discourage that? >> tough question. the financial system has been impaired the last couple years, and, look, it's wall street's fault, but we want the financial system to direct resources to the right directions that we invest well as a nation, and if you tax that activity, as you said, less. there are impacts of that. melissa: the language used, and i heard it all morning already is you give tax breaks to the wealthy and finance that, pay for it by cutting desperately needed programs. what do you think about that language? >> you know,
