. >> comedian remi took a unique approach inventing frustration, his rap has become one of the top videosu tube. he takes jabs at the obama administration, criticizing those who want to increase the debt limit saying debt is more unsustainable than his rap career. and he's right about the latter, boy say. >> that is our report here at 5:00. world news is up

some representatives who were here earlier like miss ethridge and i know in north beach area and remy who owns mojo cafe and sodero. and these are the kind of places of all different sizes who found it very difficult to navigate around really the high bar of cost in san francisco who really are eager to adopt this kind of law. we're very happy to comply. i would like to thank the entertainment commission, joycelyn compa joycelyn cane, for her good work in helping to build this legislation and reaching out to the community and the small business commission and my staff as well, too. and to the large and very decentralized merchant community through all of our 11 driks who have -- through the 11 districts who have and the our shoulder to weigh in on the legislation to refine it where we think it's a good piece of law that creates ap opportunity that there hasn't been before. more than happy to answer any questions. president olague: thank you. department and staff at this time. >> i'll wait. president olague: thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. sophie hayward, planning staff again.

him do it now you're saying oh my god i'm all right there you go it's a date let's move on though go remy who has been on the show has partnered with reason t.v. for a rap about the debt ceiling this is a little bit more exciting turn in the debt debate and as a reason put it they said that we may not be able to address our current debt ceiling woes but we can at least put them to a good beat here it is. i want to go pick up a hundred dollar bills and break it down because you don't care if that's the name of the game they call me cute little didn't make you write. what you think is the best approach to the debt ceiling we've seen yet well yeah i think it's really got it right means videos always do really well and you know we've had it on the show before and i think his partnership with reason is kind of interesting because when i met him in person it's really thoughtful and he seems really goofy and his videos but i guess it makes a lot of sense why because he's so thoughtful and that he would want to approach the issues instead of just reading about doods and brown flip flops starbucks

comedian turned rapper remi posted this music video online called "raise the debt ceiling." libertarian monthly that promotes what it calls free minds and free markets. he joins me from washington. good to see you today. >> good to see you. >> it's an unusual way to make a point. why did you decide to rap about something that is so financially complicated, may not appeal to a lot of people who like rap, young kids may not really think much of the debt ceiling. what message are you trying to get across? >> i think you may have just touched upon it. my friend meredith bragg from reason tv and i have been collaborating last couple months, last month i rewrote the hokey-pokey and made it about the tsa and called it the pokey-pokey and it put an entertaining spin on sort of a political topic. we thought maybe we would try the debt ceiling. i was at first hesitant because i was thinking they'll solve that tomorrow, it will be fine, but a day became two days, a week, two weeks. we said let's do it. >> what has been the reaction from especially younger people? >> i think hopefully f

take a listen here to rapper remi. >> raise the debt ceiling limit, raise the debt ceiling limit, raisekay. i was kind of hoping for other lyrics besides just debt ceiling limit. >> yeah, who wrote that? >> maybe we ought to talk about -- okay. i think we missed the other part. but what's the next pop culture revelation on the debt ceiling, guys? what do you think, what's the next thing we'll see? maria. >> since the message needs to be really told to republicans who are the ones who are not listening, i doubt they listen to rap, so maybe the messages should be written on cars in nats car a nascar and maybe then they'll get the message. >> interesting. dana. >> i would say republicans are listening. cnn's own poll shows that 66% of americans supported cut, cap and balance. the majority of voters overwhelming support it and in various polling. the republicans are listening. democrats joined in that. it was harry reid and this president that mocked it to the ground. people live within their means. that's the next pop culture revelation. i'd love to see a song on that.

you remi me of something which is to recruit, the passing of time. while i look back i was here in '73, '74. washington did not have an metro. washington was a very reasonably quiet capital with not a lot of activity, lovely country club's. clearly the world has changed massively in the meantime. was i expecting i would return to d.c.? no. i knew i would have something to do in the world on an international basis because my american field service experience brought me up with a wide horizon than my home town orven my country, and i'm delighted to be back to reviving the international monetary fund has exactly that set of both technical focus, rigor of expertise and analysis and williness to confront and the eight delete to delete and be specific and controlled with very international background because it's not so much the smile on my like the background that really eak for the fund and its international nature. but for all of the young girls in school of the moment, i would like to say they should each consider that everything is possible. >> thank
