more death i'm joined now by stephen to policy analyst and telecommunications expert at the reason foundation steven welcome so can you tell us more about this legislation. well we've got several things going we've got the legislation concerning drones and we've got other station concerning. wireless wireless phones and the government's ability to get records from arms on the wireless phone companies. the domestic market all the servers of the wireless. well essentially require what would what would be normal fourth amendment protections when the police or law enforcement the f.b.i. goes out to get information regarding geo location it requires the government. to provide information about. the. you know the number of requests they do it requires them to. especially if they cannot really do these what are called. self or grab some power. duff's where they essentially asked for information about all the communications activity that has come out of one cell sector these are kind of fishing expeditions so bottom line what what speech getting here is at least congressional action to expand fourth

director of economic research at the reason foundation and anthony just want to first ask you your take on this decision. well this was an incredibly surprising. the average if a has talked about whether or not they want to participate in this program over the past several years been debated back and forth they have thus far said they don't think that participating in it is going to be good for taxpayers who are bailing out fannie mae freddie mac's losses and this would involve losses so it was an incredibly surprising i think the things that remember the his principal reduction is well they're a great solution are not a magic bullet and that's what the market is trying to weigh here but taxpayers bailed out the banks they bailed out the people who didn't actually really need it and an addition anthony i mean nearly all the economic institutions from the u.s. treasury to the federal reserve and even the i.m.f. have backed principal reduction. i guess you know what's the discrepancy here. i mean the taxpayers don't have to keep bailing out fannie mae and freddie mac. i think i think that

>> guest: the overall budget for the reason foundation which is a 501(c) nonprofit is about seven or $8 million a year and i would say about one third of that, we have a think-tank like policy shop. the tv and the magazine are kind that kind of the three main operational ranches and the administrative set and i would say they each hold about one third of that. c-span: were you ever a member of the political party? >> guest: no. c-span: did you ever think you would vote always a certain way? >> guest: no, when i vote in an election night vote typically, i always vote on local bond issues and things like that because that is where i think my vote is less relevant and also both in terms of this is a policy that is going to directly affect me in my hometown, decides to raise taxes to build new in my opinion completely unnecessary high school. that's a hypothetical. i will vote on that exist elections will be decided by a couple hundred votes but then in terms of candidates i don't think in my first presidential election in 84 at voted for walter mondale. he didn't win. i've never voted a

think tanks like the charles koch foundation which was renamed as the cato institute and the reason foundation were david koch is a trustee which happily embraces a new generation of young people with the idea that freedom means the freedom to buy politicians and the freedom to pollute for the young people of course the libertarians throw in the freedom to smoke dope and hire a hooker but those are really just bones being cynically tossed to young pot heads and young proteges of dick morris but the koch's have been inside the libertarian movement from its beginning thirty two years ago this year david koch was the libertarian party official candidate for vice president of the united states of america through a pretty incredible it's all true the main agenda of the coax john birch society was to enhance the power and control of our government by big business and billionaires while fighting organized labor and people like me who are protesting the vietnam war the main agenda the coast tea party is to get millionaires elected to congress and have them cut taxes and regulations for koch industries

i want to talk more about this with anthony randolph so director of economic research at the reason foundation hey there anthony i guess first as want to get your take on this decision. oh i am so sorry we cannot hear your audio is not coming through us hopefully we can come back to you right now i know i should mention almost all economic institutions from the u.s. treasury to several others have actually supported the decision and yet the f.h.a. . has not it's certainly been something that a whole lot of people have been talking about have calling for in calling for solutions to just about everywhere you look in this country there are neighborhoods with those signs out with the overgrown grass the boarded up windows and of course this has an impact everywhere let's move on now i guess we don't have anthony's audio there we don't have it yet so let's talk about keeping it state secrets it's a big business here in the u.s. in fact the federal government spends billions of dollars every year trying to prevent the public from knowing what it's up to parties going to have explained. keeping gover

get more and i realized that that is really rooted in a cancerous idea and i think it's the foundational reason why we have a lot of the problems in the world you know it's creating a separation and really the foundational notion in the book. ishmael and in your book last hours of ancient sunlight is this idea that human beings have separated themselves not only from the natural world the from each other and separation as einstein said is an illusion there's no real end to me in beginning of you and it's all connected we know that now through the sciences through the entanglement theories from quantum physics and others and other theories and and that theory that philosophy of separation has to be rethought because the ultimate reality is connection you know the mystics and our philosophers simply sum it up this way are we brothers and sisters or not and if we're brothers and sisters we ought to take care of each other as brothers and sisters we ought to take what we need and then share and i believe that's how you build a truly wealthy life that wealth is not defined by how much i have accumul

determines that flawed design and faulty construction, particularly with the building's foundation, are the main reasons for the collapse. across the globe, a much older and smaller building, a 122-year-old brick firehouse is built to a new location when something goes terribly wrong. the historic firehouse crumbles into a pile of rubble. august 21st, 2008, peekskill, new york, after months of planning, workers begin the slow and delicate operation of moving the firehouse. the firehouse, built in 1890, is home to the centennial hose company. it serves the peekskill community for 90 years before closing in 1980 because of recurring problems with flooding. >> every time we had heavy rains, it would flood out our firehouse. we used to be knee-deep. >> despite decades of neglect, firefighters cherish the centennial and the memories it holds. instead, the city of peekskill decide to move it down the street and turn it into a museum. however, moving a 122-year-old building is not easy feat and firefighters were concerned. >> i was kind of skeptical as to whether it would be able to be moved or not. >> a local

but for political reasons was taken out. at the foundation into the mainstream health care system, a major study showed how poorly we care for people at the end of life. in helping doctors and nurses establish which is good. the early form of shared decision making. the question remains why does end of life cost go up? the other side is families who are deeply troubled what they see the lo bonds going through. a manifestation we do not know when to stop. that will rely on physicians and future generations for those that will benefit them. we think there is a cure for everything. you think we can work miracles. we believe there is a cure for everything. look at house. every test should be done. how do we reverse that? when there is the third round with no evidence why do you do it? it is tough politically but the first time i heard patients and families describe they see their loved ones going through because of the intensity. and dead desire to do good. thank you. >> is impossible to get to your brain around the cost of medicine. it cost 33,0

i would really like to emphasize some of the things that -- the reason i've tried to build a building is i formed a foundationthat's a nonprofit foundation called smiles live. and i own the san francisco chapter. it's a national foundation that -- it's a nonprofit and treat kids who cannot afford care otherwise. my thesis was access to care. and i feel as an immigrant myself who came here without anything, it's my responsibility to help kids who really are in need. so on the smile for life topic, i purchased this building a while ago. it's been a struggle for me to try to start something on the side. i have a present office at 3412 gerry building. there's no parking. there are a lot of kids taking proper transportation and in general finding means to find a way to go get the orthodontic's office. you will excuse me but a lot of children who are underprivileged and in foster care and things like that have a very difficult time trying to get ort donic care in anything. when i went torres den si, has a line of people that are waiting. some people are not qualified for medicare. the difficulty is also when we do

reasons. the basic foundation we have for our scheduling program, we have had several different external agencies look at that to see how we can improve it. we think we have a good program. we're always looking to tweak it. but the foundation is, we're subject the same issues most people are with regard to weather. that causes most of the delays you're talking about. when we have instance that are abnormalities we try to work with the carriers to fix that but that should be an exception to the rule generally. >> do you mind if i follow up? on the risk based idea, how are special events looked at and scheduled? sometimes i see air marshals on certain flights that are pretty common. like honestly d.c. is a common area. sometimes -- i mean, how far does risk base go into the idea of special events and how complex can that get for scheduling purposes. >> it is complex. we work with partner agencies with regard to scheduling special events, whether it's a national special security event, whole government structure look at the risk involved with that event and what resources are put to that event. so w

reason for being . our ancestors fled england to gain religious freedom. it is our foundation, our bedrock that we must preserve. no, i know this was alluded to yesterday, but if you look at it you will see that the freedoms are not granted in the first amendment. they were given to us by our creator. you will see that in the second paragraph on page nine. americans need to understand this. i contend that my book which was written out of frustration -- i pay attention to people and observe all the time. i can tell you that the left that would like to see god taken out of our culture and government and society cannot understand the first amendment's i have to tell you, as local and that it is the conservative right. i had to write this book. hopefully it got back into our culture appropriately and constitutionally. i contend this is the 24th most important find the bible, the constitution, and phyllis schlafly 20 books. [applause] twenty? twenty-three. i'm sorry. [laughter] but it is important, and i don't say that mr. in point of arrogance. if you memorize the first 16 words o

the other, more psychological reason, is that if conservatives build on these five foundations includingose, there aren't really moral foundations or psychological systems that liberals have that conservatives lack, can't understand. but liberal vs. a lot of trouble understanding like -- what's going on with gay marriage, what could possibly be wrong with gay marriage? i just don't get. it you don't hear conservatives saying what could possibly be wrong with racial discrimination, i just don't get it. again -- >> they do seem to be utterly incomprehending of a desire for more government regulation or some -- don't conservatives -- >> it's not that they can't understand the agree, they don't desire it. it's different from i can't grasp what the issue is here. >> do you think that that gives conservatives some kind of advantage? >> in tomorrows of election its definitely does. -- in terms of elections it definitely does. many have argued, george laycov, george west, agree that democrats appeal to make statements that are more cerebral, argument. we saw that with obama saying, if you have a

reasons. the basic foundation we have for scheduling program, we've had several different external agencies look at bad to see how we can improve it. we think we have a good program. we're always looking to tweak it, but the foundation is we are suffering from the same issues most people are from weather. mush the delays we're talking about. we didn't instances that are abnormalities to try to work with the carriers and our liaison to try to fix that. but i should be an exception to the rule generally. >> do you mind if i follow up on this? >> your. >> out our special events looked at and scheduled? i mean, sometimes -- [inaudible] honestly d.c. is a pretty common area. sometimes, i mean, how hard it is risk-based going into this idea of special events and how complex cannot get for scheduling purposes? >> it is complex. we work with our partner agencies with regard to scheduling special events, whether it's a national level and then, will recall national special security event. there's a whole government structure to look at the risk involved in that event and what resources are put to that eve

no urgency here, no reason to rush the process, it should be done legitimately and you should not name facilities after living politicians. >> i'm the director of the asian foundation and i'm here to speak in strong support of the naming of this drive after leader nancy pelosi. as a native san franciscan, i appreciate the work the commission is doing in being the guardians of our great golden gate park. an example of how you are understanding your responsibility is in matching the great treasure we have of golden gate park with the leadership of nancy pelosi. that seems to be a better match. one of the great things about nancy pelosi is she did understand diversity was the future of san francisco and the future of america. this drive connecting the two main thoroughfares is a great example of that connection. in particular, the work she has done in the asian-american community has demonstrated her foresight. asian americans didn't even have one elected member on the board of supervisors. when nancy pelosi announced she was going to run from congress, reversed event was in chinatown, bringing to gather the asian- american community and for her to pledge your support

foundations and structural upgrade. on average, i spent two hours a day at dbi to pull permit for our structure promise -- projects. the reason i have an interest in running efficiently is i have over 100 employees. i am here to talk and why q- matic has failed the eye and the public it was meant to serve. to start from the beginning, there is a line every day in intake on the first floor to get a number. one number for submitting plans, one number for over-the- counter, one number for questions for planning, and then all the other members for other departments. that is about nine different numbers. you need a preservation number. then you have the wrong number for planning, you are rerouted through the system. this takes roughly 45 minutes to get through every day just to get your first q-matic number. if you get the correct number, you are off and running to your next, much water with process at one of the other white stations. an example yesterday, at 9:30 in the morning, planning had 12 people waiting. each number eight -- each time a number was called out, none of the people waiting were called. the plan checkers could n

one reason so many people are not getting raises is that health care costs are eating into their paychecks. the second foundationresses the growing scourges of what i call crony capitalism. washington bureaucrats abuse the regulatory process to pick winners and losers in the private economy. congressional republicans continued to advance reforms to stop regulatory bureaucrats from strangling job growth with red tape. we have advanced legislation into the dodd-frank law that stops businesses getting advantages as an offer to not enjoy today. most important we propose to repeal the new health-care law and its burdens some regulations. is bad enough it imposes an on constitutional mandate on americans. it poses new regulations on businesses that are stifling job creation. let me share with the one figure that serves as a devastating indictment of the new health-care law. so far, 1000 businesses and organizations have been granted waivers from the laws -- they may prevent job losses now but they do not guarantee in the future. nor did they help the firms that lack the connections to lobby for waivers. this is no way

reasons i believe. i spent 12 years of the robert wood johnson foundation trying to bring care into the mainstream of the u.s. health care system. it started when a major study cannot was published showing how poorly we care for people at the end of life and so we launched a major initiative and we started to help hospitals and physicians and nurses established these programs and their hospitals which is a good thing where people can get the care that they want to read it serve the early form of shared decision making. so while that has taken off and we have a specialty called medicine that they put together the question remains how come they keep going up and up and up? on the other side of the equation are the families that are deeply, deeply troubled about what many of them not all but many are deeply troubled about what they see their loved ones going through. it's a manifestation that we don't know what to stop and we don't have a mechanism to stop and that will rely on physicians, future generations and i would love to hear your thoughts on we can do to insure people get the care they need that wil

>> the koch foundation provided about 1/6 of our funding and made it clear to us the reason they fundedwas we did recognize these issues were real, issues that michael mann did not think were real. i think he is wrong. there were valid questions and we expressed them. that express nothing but to light that we have reached a conclusion. i think this cartoon-like characterization of the koch foundation as been right wing, deniers, i have found that to be simply wrong. michael mann has published a lot of things that i disagree with. he has claimed there is no medieval warm period, that it is the warmest it has been 1000 years. i was part of the study that basically demonstrated his conclusions were wrong. he and i don't agree on lots of things, but i think the key thing is a small room of knowledge on which there can be universal agreement. i am hoping we will have that universal agreement. it will not happen overnight. people will read our papers and study them. i hope the open-minded skeptics will be won over, and some of the climate is that traders who plan hurricane katrina on global w

reasons. but, the basic foundation that we have for our scheduling program, we have had several different external agencies look at that to see how we can improve it. we think we have a good program. but the foundation is we are subject to the same issues most people are with regard to whether that causes that much of a delay as you're talking about. i think when you have instances that regard abnormalities, we try to work with the carriers and liaison to try to fix that but that should be an exception to the rule generally. >> you might if i call upon the risk-based idea how are the special defense looked at and scheduled? sometimes they are pretty common and honestly sometimes how far does risk-based going to this idea of the special event for the scheduling purposes? >> it is complex. we are partner agencies with regard to scheduling the special events whether it is the national level event of recall national social security that there is a whole government structure to look at the risk involved in that event and what resources are put to that event so we do work again very closely with whether

reasons, i believe taken out. you know, i spent twelve years at robert johnson foundation to bring health care into the mainstream of the health care system. it started when a major study came out that was published showing how poorly we care for people at the end of life. and so we launch a major initiative and we started to help hospitals and physicians and nurses establish care programs in their hospitals. which is a good thing. people can get the care they want. so the early form of shared decision making. while it has taken off and we have a specialty -- [inaudible] the question remains how come ended end of life care cost keep going on? what's there to stop it. on the other side of the equation or families are deeply troubled about what they see their loved ones going through. it's a manifestation we don't know what to to stop. we don't have a mechanism to stop it. that will rely on physicians, future generations, i would love to hear your thoughts on what to do to make sure people get the care they need to benefit them. we have public expectations. we have an overuse problem. if you turn on grays admatty.

for that reason, we decided that we should do some foundation- laying and lay out some principles -- >> i do not even know how to respond to this. >> is this on? again, welcome, mr. secretary. having been dissipated in some of those rounds, my sense is they basically collapsed because of the fundamental issue we are debating in this committee, which is whether or not to take a balanced approach to addressing our deficit challenge, and we did not have a partner to compromise with on a balanced approach. let me just say what the cochairs of the bipartisan sense and -- simpson-bowles commission said. in the framework you announced in april and what you submitted to the committee in september, the president embraced many of the goals and principles outlined by the fiscal commission and incorporates some of the policies we propose. we are pleased that the president's latest budget continues to focus on deficit reduction and are also encouraged to see real, specific policies for them a tax expenditures, slowing health care cost growth, and reducing spending throughout the government -- spe

reason of subtle incapacitation. when you look at the data, flight safety foundation in arrow safety world published the most recent paper that i saw, you find that the risk of sudden incapacitation really for the most part is age-independent. the largest group of incapacitations would be, as fred said, could be ear, nose and throat or gi. the seizures can happen with any age. heart attacks, sure, they happen in older folks. those are -- you're able to test for them medically, but from a public health perspective the number of false positives you get in an asymptomatic population doesn't justify testing that group of people. the bigger worry was the subtle incapacitation. there's a per tseng that there's cognitive decline -- actually, it's a fact -- that there is cognitive decline with aging, and you gave me a good study, a good paper on that from a gentleman from the naval air medical institute who had done that. the question is, where do you draw the line, and do you do testing, and does the testing that's available give you relevant aero medical information? and our information was that the training process was a bett

reasonable amount of time, you could simply pass a lot and say that. it could be on the internet as well, which is something the sun life foundation promotes to get to nations disclosed. >> there are expected to be a number of parties that the koch brothers will be involved with, and i expect some will be honored. can you talk about who the koch brothers are and why they're significant in tampa? >> their network is going to spend, they say, $400 million influencing the election. they have friends. koch brothers are funding a constellation of groups including american prosperity, where one of the koch brothers will be honored, so we know they are in town. the significance is, both the koch brothers, other super pac donors by paul singer a billionaire hedge fund-type from new york, is here having private briefings. you can book private briefings with him condoleezza rice and other officials. so the super pac donors are becoming hubs for other big donors to go ahead and meet with these elected officials. the koch brothers are funding the faith and freedom coalition, the american future fund, all of these names are spending millions of dollars blanketing the ai
