i would like to invite robert rubin from the community for civil rights.tyler millin from the defense collaborative? beverly upton from the san francisco domestic violence consortium. >> as the supervisor said, my name is tyler millin. if you're unfamiliar with the edc, we are the agency that assists in 95% plus in responding to lawsuits. it is not true where it says in paragraph 12 that we are unable to meet the increased needs. we have met that need for the past 15 years. we will never turn away a tenant that is being evicted. we help everyone. the problem is with help everyone represent themselves. president carter is right. 90% go through their case without an attorney. 90% of landlords are represented by aggressive counsel. there is no question that the right to counsel does not exist for low-income people. there is no question that we need more representation for those tenants. there is no question it will result in fewer tenants becoming homeless as a result. however, this is where i depart slightly from the other supporters. we do not need more rep

the three of us had the pleasure working for robert rubin. i know personally we need -- many of the points have been incredibly well articulated about how important this need is and the multiplier effect from this investment in council and certain civil proceedings which can be best determined by the court. the story of the men amounts of -- the immense amount in the court system -- this will provide tremendous relief by providing legal expertise and counsel to many of our clients who are about to lose their homes. this custody of their children or in domestic violence proceedings. i am happy to support this today. we know the multiplier effect of this investment. everyday a constituent walks into our office, someone who is about to lose their home world has lost a job looking for shelter or a bed. we know how expensive it is to provide all the services thereafter to many of our constituents and how we can support them. we have a motion again and there is a second. we can do this well -- without opposition. i want to thank everyone who has wo

we talked to the secretary of the treasury, i don't recall -- >> robert rubin? he was the secretary of the treasury at the time. >> yeah, we would've spoken to him, i'm sure. and had bob rubin said, "no, the treasury feels this is wrong," we would've been careful. because obviously, the treasury recommends to the president on an issue of this sort. and there was no argument. no one said, "we'll have to think about it." and so a consensus built up. i don't think it started in the fed. i would guess it started in the industry, it certainly got into the congress. >> by eliminating the glass-steagall restrictions we free our financial services industry to maintain its place as the world leader. >> we dominate the world financial market, and we've done it with one hand tied behind us because we have the greatest economic system in the history of the world. but we can untie that hand that we have had tied behind us. and we do it in this bill by repealing glass-steagall. >> lawmakers inevitably learn as lobbyists tell them things. it's sort of like a doctor being sold n

it's one of the repeated themes through your eyes the story of jamie diamond for example with robert rubin rather excuse me that when you get in with we complain that is sort of the change that took place in the reagan administration i presided over one of the s. and l. cases when i was still on the bench so i went through that chaos and you saw what happened but democrats forget that robert ruben and summers those guys turned their back on regulating derivatives they the wall street guys were sort of running that show we do know despite republican protestations that an awful lot of wall street guys have been running the economic advisory camp for president obama for both and we yet when we know that a lot of reform has not taken place or been watered down like the volcker rule is as one why because even the democrats are in fact catering quite a bit to wall street you know i have a former member of congress who i knew some years ago. tell me that he had a lobbyist walk into his office as a couple years ago and say you know i've got a half million dollars i can spend in your district i can

robert rubin. larry summers. bill gates and timothy geithner are on the list. back to some other domestic headlines for you this morning. this is "usa today." the court action could prolong the help fight. over the case, a federal policy that restricts the timing of losses connections -- connected to the senate tax. a historic section, the justices will consider that policy and i just. if the answer is yes, the legal fight could be delayed until 2015. this could prolong confusion yet the high court could find that the law demands it. the nine justices are deeply divided ideologically. that is "usa today" with that story this morning. some other headlines for you with what is happening overseas. the situation in iran relates to we're talking about here. in the "the wallstreet journal." pushed oil prices to a nine- month high. the stand of between iran and the west will raise the burden of oil prices near a level last seen in 2008. it was said that oil markets including those in the eu, could cope with any losses from iran exports. people familiar are finding --
