there is reason for optimism in that respect. i think we are seeing more companies enter into the transparency debate. i think that has been a healthy development in the broader framework of updating ecpa. twitter, the drop box, and linked and have their own transparency reports and that has a salutary effect as far as in informing users and their posture in handling those requests. last year, under senator leahy's leadership on the senate judiciary committee, an ecpa bill was passed in a was a clean content rule and others are realized that at the end of the last congress, it was unlikely to move beyond the committee stage. it's still established an important precedent going until the 113th congress. i am hopeful it portends well with what will happen for updating ecpa this congress. the chairman of the house judiciary committee indicated th housee tradition our committee will explore this issue. there is reasons to be cautiously optimistic about where ecpa 44 miss added. as users become more aware of law were -- where law actua

the reason is because -- >> what item numbers? >> okay. that will be the last two items on the calendar. >> right. okay. >> so you're seeking request to continue the jurisdiction request as well as the appealing hearing. >> that was the request that was asked for, but i am prepared to give the board the reason, and if the board doesn't want to grant continuance for the jurisdictional request i am prepared to address the board even though we only received the plans to review them yesterday. >> and you're referring on the continuous only with respect to 10a and 10b and not with respect to the jurisdictional request. >> (inaudible). >> wait. i think she is asking for the board to consider continuous for all the matters. >> including today's. >> but i'm prepared to talk about the jurisdictional request item because i am finally able to look at the plans to provide you the reasons why we're asking for it. >> okay. which one is it? i am confused. do you want to do the jurisdiction request today or continue all the items that are before us today?

we didn't have a reason for a war.re looking for a reason for a war. >> we didn't have a bona fide threat. at any time they were free to go to the public and say you know what? this is what doug five thinks, this is what we think, we're not so sure, but we still think we ought to do something. they never did that. they were looking for a pretext, as you say. they were phonying up the case. in another part of the film lawrence wilkinson chief of staff to colin powell said he and colin powell participated in what he called a hoax. unintentionally but he called it a hoax. >> one of the things coy never understand, at the time i didn't either, the hawks in the middle east believe somehow if you could break apart one of the arab front line states were rejectionist, the road through -- jerusalem goes through baghdad. if you broke one of them, they would all break and you'd be able to get a treaty, get peace in the middle east which is a dream of everybody. was that ever the driving force or not? >> that was the sort of ideol

there's no reason to bring him back.'s going to do a speech titled whatnot to do when running for president. maybe bob dole and george herbert walker bush have too much dignity to deliver. john mccain probably lost his voice this week and ford is dead so that leaves it to mitt romney. >> i want to get to four of the things on the top ten list. romney finally figured out it was time to talk about benghazi. fellow republicans kept the story alive as it should. you're hitting romney on this one. you can't let it go. >> no. my show airs at night around the country and we would do live mystery live theater on the presidential debates and sit here and watch questions of benghazi come up and romney never addressed it. he punts every single time and if that's going to be the case then i guess, you know, for we conservatives, why should we want him to win more than he does? very frustrating. >> number three, jealous of the positive press karl rove is getting. i want to get to number two. you say romney wants to make the case why

any reason for that? how many say, "oh, there's probably no reason. it's just--" come on, you guys, do you see it, huh? well, let's see what happens here. here's a ball hanging by a string. here's another string here. what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna pull the ball, harder, harder, harder, harder and snap. one of those strings is gonna break. you gotta be guessing which string will break. we'll get the scene like this. okay. i pull down, pull down, pull down, which string breaks this one or this one? check your neighbor. take a guess. how many be saying, "it's the top string gonna break 'cause he's got the other one over here for the next trial." [laughter] let's try again, here we go. it was the top string. hc, how come? let's look at it. when i pull this down, don't i set up a tension in the string here? and doesn't that tension also transmitted up to here? so don't i have that tension in both strings, huh? ain't that true? so it could be either one, maybe sometimes it'd be the bottom, maybe sometimes the top. except for... the weight of the ball. what

and that really is the reason. to take the point further to an important level, again, implied by this gentleman's letterer, my biggest fear is that what amounts to a gross misunderstanding of what happened and in particular what the government did in response -- and i'm coming back to that -- is liable to hamstring us as a society the next time newing remotely like in this happens. just imagine if europe had blown up financially as looked possible six months ago but doesn't look very likely at all right now. so we got what the markets were calling the lehman ii scenario. what would have been the chances of getting through the congress another stimulus, another t.a.r.p. or anything like that? as a lot of people in this room know, you can dam any piece of -- damn any piece of legislation now by saying like t.a.r.p.. people have this view that t.a.r.p. was a failure, that it robbed taxpayers of $700 billion to dole out cash to undeserving bankers. the only part of that sentence that is accurate is the adverb "undeser

i think that for those reasons this seems like it is actually a reasonable proposal. it is less than what was approved in 2008. and you know the appellant has just in his presentation just made it clear that they may do whatever it takes to delay this project to stop it from happening. and they have their rights, they have the processes and the appellant and i know that he knows very well what the processes are and would not... you will be hearing with this board and the appeals and there is definite ways that it be delayed. and that is their choice, but if they chose not to respect the decision of this board if the board choose to up-hold the permit and with that i am available for questions. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> the matter is submitted. >> >> i will start. he was correct in saying that i was there at the genius of the live-work program movement. however, i was not there when it was implemented. that was the next administration. and at that time i was wearing a different hat and being on planning. and i was not heavily in favor of the program. i was not agains

there might be for technological reasons for other reasons, but consensually someone could infect bid in auction and set up what is the equivalent of an unlicensed spectrum. >> in the back. >> hi, americans for tax reform. there are a few things following up on spectrum. you talk a lot about the broadcasting spectrum and the commercial spectrum. right now 30% of the spectrum has commercial use whereas 70% is federally used and there may be some debate as to what a shared but the federal use pretty much preempts any kind of use on the shared band. what is the strategy that the fcc can pursue in investing some of the federal agency spectrum and then also when talking about compensation, since we know that all these services across-the-board should the silo they are also competing with each other. isn't the fcc's current interpretation of -- incorrect so when they evaluate the market they don't have all the proper aspects? >> the last part, i will take the last part. i would agree with you on that. with all due respect to the commission i think they have to look for some of these broadca

it makes you look reasonable. the fact is i was wrong and i should have said irresponsible worse is responsible. good versus bad can be taken -- it's too vague. if the difference between a bad cold and hitler. there was something that i was willing to head them because it was not a win it is something that we can do on a frequent basis. obama trusts out john painter and said we just had a meeting, look at what of bipartisan -- lookout bipartisan manner. but, you know, he does not get away and out of that. obama as the visit is to come out and say look at what a bipartisan aim. we had a nice conversation and then i told him he was a jack as an interim out. what a bipartisan guy a.m. his inaugural was, we will reach out to the other side to try to make things happen and if things don't happen and that is their fault. thank you. thank you for that bipartisanship. you can do that and not feel that. the nice point is try to reverse the polarity. and i was on, appears as the host, i am the guest. within three minutes i

there was any good reason for that.the big increase under president bob, how bob, had a reason for it. we were fighting a terrible recession. >> in the bush tax cuts. >> how could i forget that? [laughter] [applause] >> this is the last question. the gentleman was moving in the wind before i finish speaking. >> thank you. i consider myself a nerd or a citizen. it should also disclose and the person who oversees the trouble that their beliefs program. first of all i want to thank you. i haven't read the book yet. i look forward to it, but having lived this, it's been very difficult to explain these things and i'm glad that you're doing it. i also would agree there are undoubtedly things who could've done better in this will become clear with time. it's still a little too close to really analyze that, but one i've seen you mention in interviews that i would appreciate your thoughts on is the issue with code the program have been designed for more than name, but there's obvious issues they are as to whether you end up cour

so, it is quite strange for a pope to resign for health reasons. the other points other people are leaning toward, there may be reasons why the pope decided to resign, would be the various problems of -- the catholic church has faced or a lot of the problems that have come to a head during the pope's papacy. one started to come out well before he got elevated to pope, the scandal of pedophilia and the rights of the church, the scandal that truly acquired global dimensions. we heard cases in europe, latin america, the united states, and across the world. that is one pressure the papacy has faced. the other one has been perhaps more recent and -- the various financial allegations, allegations of financial mismanagement within the vatican. we will find out more details when the news conference starts at about 15 minutes. but we do know pope benedict xvi himself a few years ago has always said if the pope should feel whatever reason he could not go on, whether moral issues, psychological, or by physical, the pope should resign. people resignations are

>> real reasons behind it have to be investigated by the government, or -- the real reasons behind it have to be investigated by the government. we have not heard from them yet. we have heard from the human rights watch talking about the migrant workers exploited, working seven days a week, 12 hours a day, sometimes several months not being paid. there are lots of conversations and rumors about connections between the area where -- sochi itself. >> let's use the c word. it always comes up in russia. are you saying part of this is about corruption, the spiraling costs? >> it is about corruption. >> thanks very much. stay with us on "bbc world news ." still to come -- i will be speaking to a cycling journalist about the fallout from today's damming report -- daminning report on doping in australian sports. now to a question worth just under one trillion euros, how much money should the european union spend over the next six years? eu leaders are trying to reach a compromise deal on their next budget, but the talks will not be easy at a time of economic austerity. >> how much should a co

but in the whole details or you go about doing now tony as you just mentioned part of the stated reasons that the military is revamping this program is because of the belief that we're losing the propaganda war in afghanistan and as you mentioned that thanks to the taliban's use of messaging how are they outsmarting us and really how can we do better at this. part of it is managed by committee i mean helen yesterday when the secretary defense panetta and determine the joint chiefs had to testify and they were asked who's in charge and. i'm just figure out. oh yes this is the problem we manage things like maybe you don't have leadership and one of the things that i've noticed over the past ten years is if people are so afraid to make a decision because of my goodness i might make a mistake and all i make a mistake i may get fired frankly the problem is this we don't make our decisions we don't do things well we can't respond as rapidly as we should to this message by the time we get around to it all it takes time to coordinate and it's just outdated and frankly we just cannot respond to t

i will discuss the reasons for that. and some of the reasons why that might have been a bad idea and why it has not happened. to start off, it is just a definition -- what is a consumption tax? we all look at we tell taxes and say that is what it is but it is much more than that. if you look broadly at how people use their income, they use it to ways -- to spend money. or save money. there are lots of ways to do that. there is not one consumption tax alternative, there are many. the four major ones -- the retail sales tax from the state practice, tax on the consumption when people buy goods is all collected from businesses. the more common version of the sales tax and use in europe, new zealand, australia and 150 countries around the world, that is a tax on value added which is basically a retail sales tax collected at each stage of production. so is the value added by each stage and it adds up to retail sales at the end. those two taxes are collected only from. from the third version is collected partly from businesses,

understand even the most basic english words or concepts of trial by jury like guilty beyond a reasonable doubt what's that they ass oh or the british media mocked a stupid jury of morons and it is and yet does the british media snicker when finance ministers banking regulators department of justice and president the united states ask when presented with evidence of live or rigging market manipulation fraudulent selling of securities and money laundering but is this a crew time they ask. good bankers ever be guilty they ask stupidly us and tourney general eric holder when presented with not only evidence of a crime but a fricken confession of ages b.c.'s guilt for drug money laundering and terrorism financing asks. should i as head of the us justice department charge them with a crime or how about president obama when asked why his justice department had done nothing against the criminals responsible for the smoldering wreckage a financial system right there in front of his own two eyes asks well were the bankers just taking advantage of loopholes that's just like destructive impact cause

coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat.ve these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. people come in in groups, meet friends that they didn't even know they had before. our whole set up is focused on communal table. you can sit across from someone and start a conversation. we're excited about that. >> i never worked in catering or food service before. it's been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. >> it is getting really popular. she's a wonderful teacher and i think it is a perfect match for us. it is not about home cooking. it's really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. >> i have always loved eating food. for me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. it always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. em

the reason that we appeal the electrical permits and the plumbing permits is because the work would not stop at the site. the work is still going on at the site. according to the neighbors. and that was the only way that we could actually get any in-roads and say that you don't have a single permit so there can't be any work. >> could you hold on just a second mr. williams? >> is mr. duffy here? >> i think that he should hear the questions that are being raised. >> why don't you start over again, mr. williams. >> thank you. >> i'm steve williams and i am representing one of the adjacent neighbors, who has lived with her family two doors down from the site for nearly 40 years. the other neighbors also support the appeal. and as i was saying earlier, the reason for appealing the electrical and plumbing permits, which we never do, was because the site, they would not stop work at the site. and so that was the point was to try to get the work stopped at the site and as i understand it from the neighbors, the work is still going on. so, i mean you would think from the tone of the reply brief

thing to do, a reasonable step forward.es, that is a baby step, but coming from a republican senator that is a step.

the police department can't reasonably accept that to prove someone's identity because the standards are really loose. >> what about physical identification process like fingerprinting? >> that's a good question. fingerprints -- if a person puts down their name and let's say they're fingerprinted like life scan. the appellant was life scanned. if they weren't fingerprinted anywhere else those go to the person's name so you won't get anything different. it's what the person was originally fingerprinted on and that's the problem. the standards for identity are a lot more rigorous now and we're just requiring the same standard that we did in 2003. the federal government has required the states to be more rigorous before issuing identification cards. that's why the appellant can't get a valid government identification but more peerntly i want to emphasize if this commission decides that expired identification is okay with letters you will have a standard that is really arbitrary. what is enough? it's a letter from a former supervisor? is it a balance license? what standard are we going t

not 51%, beyond any reasonable doubt-- that a crime was committed.if we cannot establish that, then we can't bring a criminal case. but we don't let these institutions go. we've brought civil cases. we've brought regulatory cases. and the entire approach here is to have a multipronged, comprehensive approach to what gave rise to the financial crisis. >> (chanting): too big to fail, but not too big to go to jail! >> narrator: in april 2010, goldman sachs ceo lloyd blankfein was summoned to the hill by senator carl levin. >> if martha stewart can go to jail, so can blankfein! >> narrator: this would be the biggest showdown between congress and a major wall street banker. >> narrator: blankfein was unapologetic. >> clients know our activities and they understand what market making is. >> do you thing they know that you think something is a piece of crap when you sell it to them and then bet against it? you think they know that? >> the nature of the principal business and market making... >> lloyd blankfein argued it was perfectly okay, that at the same

that's one of the reasons he's gone.e of the reasons he's gone. in other words, obama wants people who are just going to take his marching orders. that's the way i look at it. >> the dangerous thing, though, is that unlike hillary, this guy can't even stick to the script. so how could obama send him out to people? how could he remember his lines? i mean, it's really sort of an epic moment that i don't think the country would be safe or well served by. >> she is at least articulate. >> i think he's going to be confirmed anyway, as awful as that sounds. democrats are going to confirm him. that's the life we live in. that's the country we live in, jennifer ruben. thank you very much for your reporting. also thanks to art laffer and michelle caruso-cabrera for being with us this evening. i appreciate it. >>> now we're going to stick with national security. we have reports today that the chinese government has hacked into both "the new york times" and "the wall street journal." it all looks like a planned move by the chinese

for two reasons. his view that muslim states reject the pollution of american troops on their soil and second because in practical terms none could take or ever done so since 1979. the shot of iran had but that was not a model other arab leaders wish to follow. said on believe the muslim states would reject direct american aid and specifically the stationing of american troops on their soil. in retrospect this was his worst strategic miscalculation. it was hardly an irrational one. for american influence in the persian gulf was offshore rather than on site this was not the 30 eighth parallel in korea. this was not the boulder gap in germany, places where american troops were stationed directly in harm's way as to why arab-american results. on the contrary american policymakers for decades at this point long hoped to influence the gulf and keep the oil flowing with as will direct involvement as possible. so long as the soviets didn't interfere in the region themselves, president carter declared in 1980

proposal or a set of reasonable proposals for a solution by a lot of people outside the u.s. government. they've all said that first of all the united states is going to have to recognize the right to enrich and and in return iran is going to have to agree to some limitations on how much and at what level it can enrich and of course agreed to very stringent conditions in terms of i.a.e.a. surveillance and again i agree with dr marandi that the iranians have signaled more than once the willingness to agree to that kind of solution and the details. you know can be worked out if the united states is really ready to make a deal i think again i go back to the fundamental point that i make that the obama administration is still sort of caught with the legacy of the past in terms of u.s. policy toward iran which is a policy that in fact does not acknowledge the legitimate interests of iran in the process of making proposals it simply has never been allowed that to washington. in fact recognizes that that iran doesn't fact have legitimate interests in the middle east it has a legitim

the reason i did that is twofold. one is that was fun and the other is that, the other is that it forced him not to use that tactic because think of the left like magicians. they don't have fact, they don't have evidence on a homicide. they have slate of hand and their fantastic added. the best magicians have ever seen. is our job to identify those tactics and sit in the back of the room and be the guy who run the magic show. be in the back of the room watches of a magic the is and shouting the rabbit is at the bottom of the hat and if you remove the fault panel there's a rather down there. and get there by magic. that is what i was doing. this is the tactic he used. by doing that, not only do i take that away from him, it was interesting, if you watch the rest of the show after that interview. after i left, paralyzed in a gun shooting, and he started interviewing this kid because we can have discussions with folks who have been shot and try to we are all trying to figure out the best way to prevent people from being

or the reasons for that? shouldn't people be held accountable for four americans died. >> you said there was cover-up, a cover up of what? >> a korup of the information concerning the deaths of four brave americans. >> bill: and bernard golberg, i thought senator mccain won the changes but did gregory do anything wrong? >> i don't think so. senator mccain said there was a cover-up and legitimate question. i don't think david gregory crossed any line but i don't think john mccain crossed any line. he went down a whole list of questions that he said the president of the united states has hasn't answered about benghazi. john mccain said i don't know the answers to those questions. my guess is neither does david gregory and lots of other reporters. they don't know the answers either. they have shown a breathtaking lack of curiosity about those questions. when john mccain comes up with this and says, what are the answers? david gregory ought to be more curious about what those answers are. >> bill: that is why i t

and that's the reason why we can't back up the machine. as each step of the machine -- the boring moves forward, what comes behind it is the encasing that creates the wall of the tunnel. so, at that point diameter of the tunnel is less than the diameter of the machine. so, that's why it keeps going forward. we'll be building the tunnel out. we won't be installing track and all the systems much beyond the station. they go beyond the station, but not all the way. but the tunnel infrastructure itself will be there. >> so, aside from the election strife indication and the track, you have a tunnel that is usable for the future that goes all the way to north beach? >> that's correct. >> okay. and then my question is * if we did decide to go to fisherman's wharf, is it possible to bring in machines from an entry site somewhere different further down columbus, wherever it's felt is beneficial, and then bore to the existing tunnel which will dead end there at the pagoda theater? just on columbus, just before the tunnel goes into the pagoda theater.

would you ever consider protesting topless for a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe you are not but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with the kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if he'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. let him out lady the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally. well coming up in a couple of minutes it's breaking the set it has to be. secretary of state hillary clinton recently testified to congress in regards to the attack on the u.s. consulate was killed an american ambassador in benghazi libya during the testimony couldn't rather calmly said you know things l

proposal or a set of reasonable proposals for a solution by a lot of people outside the u.s. government. they've all said that first of all the united states is going to have to recognize the right to enrich and and in return iran is going to have to agree to some limitations on how much and at what level it can enrich and of course agreed to very stringent conditions in terms of i.a.e.a. surveillance and again i agree with dr marandi that the iranians have signaled more than once the willingness to agree to that kind of solution and the details. you know can be worked out if the united states is really ready to make a deal i think again i go back to the fundamental point that i make that the obama administration is still sort of caught with the legacy of the past in terms of u.s. policy toward iran which is a policy that in fact does not acknowledge the legitimate interests of iran in the process of making proposals it simply has never been allowed that washington. in fact recognizes that that iran doesn't fact have legitimate interests in the middle east it has a legitimate

so for all of those reasons it's just preposterous and it continues.nd you know, part of it i úlame -- i blame most of it on racism, but it's enhanced by the modern technologies. in other words, they can now photo shop a so-called birth certificate from coastal hospital in mumbasa and it's going around the internet. >> and peeple believe it. >> people believe t but they made one mistake. most of the early biology ralphrys said that barack obama senior was born in 1936. and so this birth certificate says father's birth 1936. but i discovered the reality that he was born in 1934. so they -- >> they can't again get their fraud right. >> right. >> there's a fact that obama has been such a controversial figure freeing into many of the conspiracies you allude to. is that what made him a good subject for this book? would any president have interested you or was there something about this particular president? >> well, every book i do i have to be obsessed about some aspect of it. >> right. >> and for this book honestly, evan, i debated longer about whether i

would you ever consider protesting topless for a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe you are and. what do you think of french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with the kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if he'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so isn't that what protesting is all about. let him out ladies the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally. coming up in a couple of minutes breaking the set to host. secretary of state hillary. recently testified to congress in regards to the attack on the us consulate was killed an american ambassador in benghazi libya during the testimony couldn't rather calmly said you know things like that the re

thing to do, a reasonable step forward., but coming from a republican senator that is a step. even more surprising news on the house side today. today, a bipartisan announcement from four members of the house on gun safety reform. democrats carolyn maloney and elijah cummings, and scott riggel, unveiling a bipartisan gun protection act. when is the last time bipartisan anything came out of the house? the act would do two things, crack down on straw purchasers, so people who can buy guns because they pass a background check, but then they give the guns to a person who can't pass a background check, it would make it illegal. it may surprise you but that is not against the law. so it would change that, the bipartisan would make gun trafficking a federal crime, making it punishable by up to 20 years in prison. now, that is it some right? straw purchases and making it a federal crime. these are not the world's most ambitious proposals? but the bipartisan supporting it? from the house, that is amazing, and on guns, it is amazing.

paul a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah what about something like if you're protesting obama's drone program then no that's not appropriate now keep them inside yeah so when would be appropriate to whip them out cancer research breast cancer or something related to breasts yes i don't think it's safe why not a lot of weirdos out there would you do it well maybe we're not good do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with that kind of crazy do you think that americans are more uptight when it comes to topless and sexuality yes yes i do think that that there are more uptight it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be a good thing to bring that attention to a cause that way. not really is private is going to bring one kind of attention to somebody i don't think you really get your message out if you're out topless do you think that it woul

understand even the most basic english words or concepts of trial by jury like guilty beyond a reasonable doubt what's that they ass oh or i know the british media mock the stupid jury of morons and idiots and yet does the british media snicker when finance ministers banking regulators departments of justice and presidents the united states ask when presented with evidence of libel or rigging market manipulation fraudulent selling of securities money laundering but is this a crime they ask bankers ever be guilty they ask stupidly u.s. and attorney general eric holder when presented with not only evidence of a crime but a fricken confession of h.s.b.c.'s guilt for drug money laundering and terrorism financing asks. should i as head of the u.s. justice department charge them with a crime or how about president obama when asked why his justice department had done nothing against the criminals responsible for the smoldering wreckage a financial system right there in front of his own two eyes asks well we're the bankers just taking advantage of loopholes that's just like destructive impact cau

and that is the roof deck expansion and for that reason, that reason, alone, i would move to deny the permit, or, you know, up hold the appeal, grant the appeal. but, i also just want to comment on these charges of delay on the part of the appellant. i think that they can be countered by the charges that they were serial permitting going on throughout the process that is intended to expedite using the process or circumvent the process and i think that the comments made regarding what we did at the last hearing was an effort to do something that i was not super inclined to do which was to con to expedite this project. notwithstanding what i thought were improper self-help expediting serial permitting, i don't think that the argument that they are intending to delay can stand alone without the counter argument. also, while i recognize it might be frustrating to receive limited argument on the paper, i think that we are as a board entitled to have all of the arguments made at this hearing be considered and that is what we are doing. and that is what i am doing today. so for all of those

proposal or a set of reasonable proposals for a solution by a lot of people outside the u.s. government. they've all said that first of all the united states is going to have to recognize the right to enrich and and in return iran is going to have to agree to some limitations on how much and at what level it can enrich and of course agreed to very stringent conditions in terms of i.a.e.a. surveillance and again i agree with dr marandi that the iranians have signaled more than once the willingness to agree to that kind of solution and the details. you know can be worked out if the united states is really ready to make a deal i think again i go back to the fundamental point that i make that the obama administration is still sort of caught with the legacy of the past in terms of u.s. policy toward iran which is a policy that in fact does not acknowledge the legitimate interests of iran in the process of making proposals it simply has never been allowed that washington. in fact recognizes that that iran doesn't fact have legitimate interests in the middle east it has a legitimate

a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah would you do it well maybe one month but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with a kind of crazy it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if we'll do it much it's will bring more awareness i guess people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. let them out lady the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your cause so ladies you might want to consider that the next time you suit up for your big rally. that's all for me for that island after so break it's the kaiser pulls. saudi arabia has ordered its retailers to construct one point six meter tall barriers in the middle of their stores a rather unusual demand is that something related to everyone's favorite buzzword terrorism no it is to keep male and fe

if it were down to pure reason, we'd never lose an election. as it is, it's astonishing to me we ever win elections as bad as we are at this stuff. okay. so those are kind of the ten points. frame your opponent, frame the debate, set up a -- set up all the philosophical inconsistencies with your opponent's positions and exploit them. force them to defend the points that they say they defend, because there's not a leftist alive in government who's going to tell you the truth about what they really believe. dianne feinstein wants to take all of your guns. she can't explain why she doesn't want to take all of your guns. that's something she should be forced to defend. please explain why this gun but not this gun should be banned. don't get sidetracked, that's number four. don't get intimidated by them. walk toward the fire, as andrew used to say. if you don't know something be, admit it. that's number six. number seven, let the other side have those victories that don't mean anything because it makes you look moderate and reasonable, and they don'

sometimes for strategic reasons. very frequently when humanitarian issues and strategic issues -- strategic interests converge. syria is unquestionably a place where humanitarian issues do converge. lisa has talked about it. senator mccain has talked about it. you read about it every day. it is a horrendous humanitarian catastrophe. the only thing i would add is the upward of 1 million displaced people inside syria today who are about to enter a winter. and are living in tents and may suffer catastrophic consequences of something is not done. we are supposed to be pivoting away from the middle east, the middle east remains a cockpit of difficulty in the world and a vital strategic interest for the united states and our allies. the consequence to us directly of assyria becoming a failed state with chaos i think is more we should be willing to tolerate. one thing we have learned, to so awfully and convenient when many americans would not want to be so involved, we have learned that when chaos and failed states emerge i
