. >> commissioner reilly. >> i support the intent of the legislation. i think it is time we do something because there are so many lawsuits that the small business owner has to pay for. but i think that the detail needs to be looked at, like the timing, when they have to do it . also yrks is this for small business only -- also, why is there for small business only? >> mostly what we hear from businesses, is a lot of the smaller businesses, the ethnic businesses are the ones target, and they have far fewer resources to deal with the lawsuits. that is the intent for the small business focus. >> i think if we were to draft some legislation, it should apply to larger businesses as well. >> the city often deviates between small and all businesses. it is just a policy issue. >> commissioner clay? >> i just want to refer to one of our early discussions around this issue when we requested that information regarding come appliances with the a.d.a. be actually put on the envelope for our business tax renewals. it took a long time to get something included, and r

paul reilly runs one of the nation's largest regional investment firms. he's c.e.o. of raymond james. when i met with him today, he talked about his outlook for the markets in 2012. >> our outlook has been kind of more where it is today, that we think we're going to stay in a trading range. obviously there are all these companies to pick that will do well. but until there is real clear, i think, leadership in washington and a direction for the economy, i think people are going to tend to be more cautious. so with interest rates low, we may still get a little pickup in the equity markets but i don't think january has been a pretty good month t would be hard to multiple that one by 12. >> susie: as you know, paul, everyone is worried about the financial situation in europe yet we are seeing in the u.s. encouraging numbers about the u.s. economy. can u.s. stocks do well even though there is a crisis in europe? >> i think as long as europe doesn't implode. you know, as people have watched the european situation, they see -- they think greece is isolated, that they will t

slack any time soon but for letting him off the hook for his offensive and insane comments below reilly is tonight's to a time when. i got time for happy hour joining me this evening are two producer jenny churchill and medicine roll calls and heard on the hill reporter for the ladies. let's talk about this he has a right and everybody loves to hate on this he has a nobody really likes them and so when this story came out last year about how much money they were taking in from loose change things that are really pissed everyone off take a look. the transportation security administration is a raking in some pretty pennies t.s.a. officials say they collected more than four hundred nine thousand dollars in loose change left by passengers last year are a couple lot of money and so some of these actually now represent of jeff miller bringing up a bill saying about money could better use by the u.s. troops and not to the t.s.a. would you say i'm all for keeping that money away from the t.s.a. and putting it basically i think it's good to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars of everyone's

." >> so this is a very important book by robert reilly. he just spoke on this topic two nights ago, and this gives, i think -- you know, everyone talks about, you know, what the conflict is between the west and islam, but people really don't know what are the fundamentals of the faith. so his argument is that there was a time when islam was open to intellectual ideas, but then there was a point where especially when the ottoman turks took over when there was a receding of intellectual fervor in the islamic world, and at this point, especially today, there's kind of a discouragement and be a fear of intellectual inquiry, and that's his basic thesis. >> we've been talking with richard brake of the intercollegiate studies institute. >> up next on booktv, james secure lock, author of "king larry," recounts the life of larry hill blom, cofounder of the shipping company dhl. he disappeared in 1995 in the western pacific. this is just over an hour.

a lot of them all learned i went out there when you're ago i went to the anti-walker reilly it is pro labor rally i have never seen something like that before. [laughter] they met at the vfw hall and marched around the tiny town a lot of solidarity. it is impressive but also people who are in deep deep trouble is what it is. let's hope that the democrats can figure out how to bring those people back this time around. i hope they do. >> you have a terrific way of putting things. suppose democrats had taken on business or wall street with the same lack of apology that the republicans show to go after government. to what extent do those officials could harness some of danger that the tea party people have shown? let's assume that the bail-out unnecessary which could be argued. but would it make a difference of the democrat said this is terrible? i hate to do this but we have to. have we taken that attitude? >> oh my god yes. [laughter] but i'm sorry, i keep going. >> the second part is what is the failure of the elected officials? >> rose 1/3 to really good questions. it is the colt of f

>>vern: gerry reilly cut lane at this year's training camp. six years ago he was lawn by defenders at palo alto high school, winning the 2006 state title shooting around and over. there were no college athletic scholarships waiting period and ivy league education at harvard and sued. he went undrafted by the nba in 2010. it's the warriors or the only team that signed him. he gained immediate cult following that the warriors defensive guards needed a big man and he became expendable. the knicks claim them off of waivers in 2011. the knicks nearly cut in two weeks ago. since he took over point guard duties and became the most talked-about star, the knicks are 6-0 as a host the sacramento kings tonight. >>gary: look at this story. every day there is something news. he was sleeping on his brother's couch. now, he is staying in trump towers. he had no scholarship offers out of high school. you were his high school coach. what did ever witness? >> recruiting is all about definitive statistics. it is all about numbers the could report to the head coa

reilly wrote something on in this recently. i got a ph.d. at the university of texas, i'm shot exactly a full -- i'm not exactly a full bastion of liberalism. it was still pretty liberal, and at one point one of my fellow graduates students came up to me and said is it true you've written for national review? i said, yeah, and he said i'm conservative too, but i don't let anybody know. >> now you know what it's like for liberals in -- [inaudible] [laughter] >> so there's definitely a sense on campuses that even if you could get tenure, maybe -- first of all, you might not be able to get tenured if you are of a conservative bent, and that's why these think tanks are so welcoming, but we talk about the stifling atmosphere, that there's a perception of these are acceptable positions that if you go outside that acceptable position, you will be ostracized in the department even if you do have tenure. so i think think tanks have served an important purpose giving people an opportunity to have their say. >> i don't think the tenure is about academi

reilly plays the father, thank the lord. he's quite spectacular.grounds the family in a way that makes it all the spookier. it's really a nightmare, charlie. it's about the nightmare scenario of having a baby and not really wanting to have that baby and not having the link with a baby that we're told w can expect to be natural and a real sort of war between the boy and his mother and the nightmare of having to live with that for the rest of her life. it's the feel-good film of the year because everybody who sees it... all the parents you see it think well i thought he was bad my kid but he's... y know. what's a little bit of substance abuse next to that? and the people who don't have kids just, you know, feel like they might leave it for a few more years. >> re: she feels guilty? >> she feels as far as she's concerned shis guilty. she's not sittg opposite child thinking "i don't understand that child. that's an exotic foreign being." all hisalevolence and all his violence and all his badness is hers and comes out of her. they look very alike and sh

sean hannity, bill reilly, rush limbaugh -- bill o'reilly, rush limbaugh.y head the liberal media. fox news cannot get a broadcast license in canada because they lie too much. guest: i did not know that. i'm going to repeat that. left-wing media, right-wing media. very thoughtful. nice to have someone's outside perspective on our system. i did not know that about barks. that is fantastic. that is incredible -- that about fox. host: what are you looking at as this election shapes up? guest: one of the things we have to do is make sure that, as a party, we are articulating a clear economic message. the other point i would add is that i do not think it is being talked enough about. i would love to see a c-span show on this. i think, for the first time, we can take back the house with progressives. it is not getting enough attention on our side. if you look at these candidates who voted first or the budget to do away with medicare, the right and budget, then they voted for tax breaks -- who voted first for the budget to do away with medicare, the ryan budget, t
