. >> thank you, chairman rockefeller. senator toomey, senator kerry, senator ayotte, i appreciate the opportunity to present testimony on consumer privacy alongside our newest commissioner as well as my friend cam kerry. the commission commends the recent privacy efforts by the dp of commerce as well as the bipartisan leadership your committee has shown on consumer privacy issues. though most of my remarks today will concern privacy policy and especially do not track, the ftc is primarily an enforcement agency and commissioner ole hawesen will describe our recent enforcement efforts. mr. chairman, imagine a cash-strapped college student working part-time to keep up with tuition payments. to make ends meet, she applies online for a loan and obtains it at a favorable rate. but she also goes online because her father suffers from depression, so she wants to research symptoms and potential treatments. soon after, in the mail, she receives another loan offer. this time from a payday learn at a much higher rate. in the evening,

the chairman of the senate commerce committee, senator jay rockefeller, had this to say. >> these are huge nominations, and they have vast effect on the future of our country. for better or for worse. i think it's hard to overstate the importance of the federal communications commission and its reach. >> host: well, here to discuss the nominations and the confirmations of the two new fcc commissioners are two very well known be technology reporters, cecilia kang with "the washington post," amy schatz with "the wall street journal." amy schatz, senator rockefeller seemed to hit this really hard, that this was very important and that these nominations were important. what was his goal with that? >> guest: well, jessica has worked for him for the past five years, so i think he had a vested interest in this in a way that most senate commerce committee chairmen don't. they really want to have five people at this commission because it's a hot harder to find consensus when you've only got three bodies there. when you're looking at doing mergers, you'd like to have five people in there. this

based on a rockefeller contract that's in the book. saving, spending, giving away. 20%, giving away 20%. john d. rockefeller said to his child, and he was the richest man in america, we're going to have a contract and you're going to learn how money works. and i think by the age of 14, any parent does that with their children andou're going to sesee them as healthy, independent financial adults who aren't coming back to you saying, get me out of debt, i owe $20,000. >> of accountability bottom line. my sister does that. my sister has a 30, 30, 30 rule. any time her children get any money, say they get money from the tooth fairy, whatever it is. 30% goes into savings. 30% goes to her, so she can put it in their bank account. 30% in an account for charity. teach theme fundamentals. >> absolutely. one important point we make in the book is to raise a house full of prosperity. there's a habit of people saying, we're broke, we're broke! and they have a car in the garage and they're paying their mortgage. so if you want to send a message about building wealth, you also wa

. >> senator rockefeller followed by representative hastings. >> thank you, chairman, boxer. i strongly agree where what chairman wexman has said, and i think it's almost impossible to overlook the importance of safety. we always talk about transportation in terms of the outmoded bridges and natural gas trucks weighing up to 120,000 pounds going over single lane rural bridges and the controversies at hand. so safety is important, i want the money spent on -- major jobs and for transportation and for bridges and for all kinds of transportation modes. but in so doing, we have to be very, very conscious of the safety aspect. we talk about safety almost as if it was something that came along, that would happen natural. and that's not the way it works. you have to pretty much talk in legislation about what safety's going to be. and/or else it won't happen. we have talked about reducing drunk driving and that's not much of a priority. we talk about increasing seat belt use. i can remember when i was a teenager plus something, not using a seat belt and thinking it was pretty cool. i

my book makes one of its major villains nelson rockefeller. rockefeller undermined the moderates in a multitude of ways where s publicly was working toward an understanding of them. -- whereas bill buckley was working toward an understanding of them. i found myself not to temporizing, reckoning. i do think it is a conservative function to do that. i do not think you need to be engaged in the trail. this is the moderate middle ground that some on the conservative side were working toward. we tend to forget there were a lot of productive negotiations and arrangements between them. the society bright supply side economics. there were further had on that than the conservatives at that time. i think most of the moderates hope to have a more constructive conservatism, a big tent conservatism. i do not think there were allusions it would take power back but it wanted their ideas to prevail. >> to take on that that i think is useful, i remember some of our colleagues saying these questions are complicated. they deserve to be debated within both partie

many were rockefeller voters. there seemed to be no connection between liberal republicans and what we call reagan democrat, union voters, northern catholics, reagan may not have been the leading vote-getter in california but he won by a million votes, a lot of them democrats. we didn't see a lot of that with them. are they going to learn how to give out flyers and do the social networking. we see obama people doing and the tea party doing. where are they? >> driven by some passion, i think, moderates are often less passionate. this was our original complaint when you are looking at both sides of the issue you see the pastel shades, not the bold colors and probably get less excited about all of that. conservatives have had various i think jeff talks about the feeling of marginalization the conservatives had, kind of driving this energy and this almost desperate effort to get back in control, or leave. there was always the threat of leaving that i think helped, too. also advance their cause. i don't think many mode

bank henry kissinger and david rockefeller are involved as the honorary members of the building steering committee which is responsible for selectively carefully selecting the attendees every year some of called the builder group a harmless think tank or just a discussion group but those have been following it for years so there is something much more sinister at the root of the claim the group gets together to plan policy for a new world order global domination of the subjugation of the rest of humanity according to a recent poll that drudge over fifty percent of the pollsters agreed that the builder hosts the real power master elites of the world unfortunately you won't hear much of a peep about the group's dealings or even the existence of the group on the corporate media this is because the media moguls that have attended are sworn to secrecy just check out what david rockefeller has said in his coverage or in his memoir multi-billionaire david rockefeller said quote some even believe we're part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the united states characterizing

nixon majority were not all against the new deal or rockefeller voter. there's seems to be no connection between liberal republicans and what we call reagan democrats. reagan may not have been the leading vote geter in california but he won by a million vote and we didn't see a lot of them. i wonder if they're going to learn how to give out fliers or do the social networking and all the stuff we see obama and the tea party doing now. where they are? >> moderates are often less passionate. this our original society complaint. when you're carefully looking at both sides of the issue you see the pastel shades and probably get less excited about that. conservatives have had various. i think jeff talks about margeization. driving this energy and almost desperate effort to get back in control or leave and was always the threat of leaving that i think helped too. also add insurance their cause. i don't think many moderates had that. maybe on the civil rights issue. in the 60's that was there. i think one element we haven't mentioned that has helped to make this

said about the media coverage of building berg and his memoirs multi-billionaire david rockefeller said quote some even believe we're part of a secret cobol working against the best interests of the united states characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a much more integrated global political and economic structure one world if you will and if that's the charge i stand guilty and i'm proud of it he also allegedly said that he's grateful to media outlets like the washington post the new york times whose magazine directors have attended their meetings and promised to keep it discretionary for almost forty years saying it would have been impossible for the group to develop its plan for the new world if it would have been subject to the lights of publicity. during all those years while the public might not know exactly what's going on there many people agree that the people who attend the meetings are the world's most powerful movers and shakers just take a look at this drudge poll of poll conducted to ask people what they

why i think that is significant is i was impressed by your renderings, and it reminded me of rockefeller center. we do not have that kind of situation in san francisco with the tall spires of buildings that are surrounding a public space. we also have the possible analogy to grand central station with the transbay terminal, but i think that is something that would be a very popular and welcoming meeting place and gathering place. it sounds like the size of that is big enough to make that a possibility. >> i think even more than the size, if i could get on the phone to you and say, "i will meet u.s. -- meet you at x" and you know what x is, then that is a success. you might have to get at a map and find out exactly where it was, but i think we should make our places distinct. the city should be made up of a series of distinct places. that is what we're trying to do. commissioner antonini: exactly like the area in front of at&t park. it is great meeting place, and even though a lot of people live there, it presents very well. thank you very much for your answers to the questions. i just ha

you would say that is the rockefeller building. we had to be the country that produced andy warhol. you put a roman light on top. you make this pop art thing on top of the building long before pop art existed. it's the way americans think. why have a big building if you can't use it as a bill board. the skyscraper kept on moving. chicago stopped at 20 stories but we kept on going. this is broad street toward wall street about 1905. look how high the buildings have gone. just to show you here is an aerial view from about 1905 with all of the skyscrapers hugging wall street and broad way. up until the 1960s, downtown new york had the same configuration, all of the skyscrapers were clustered in the middle of the island. there is bowling green, there is 11 broadway. one broadway is half built and 21 will come in the future. this is battery park, there is the el train system through lower manhattan. since demolished. the low rise areas to the right, the south street area from the 19th century absolutely intact until 1968, when the city sent in bull dozers and ripped out the entire 19th c

many were rockefeller voters. there seemed to be no connection between liberal republicans and what we called reagan democrats, union voters, northern catholics. reagan may not have been the leading vote getter in california but won by a million votes, many democrats. we didn't see a lot of that with another lender are they going to give up and do the social networking all the stuff we see obama people doing now in the tea party doing. where are they? >> to be driven by some passionate ink, moderates are often less passionate and this is the original claim when you're carefully looking at both sides of the issue, you see the pastel shades and not the bold colors. and you probably get a little less excited about all of that. conservatives have had serious -- i think jeff talks about the marginalization's conservatives had tremendous energy that saw most desperate effort that took part to lead and also advance their cause. i don't think many moderates had bad. maybe on the civil rights issue in the 60s that was the

senator rockefeller, followed by representative. >> thank you, chairman boxer. i agree with what senator waxman has said, and it is almost impossible to overlook the importance of safety. we always talk about transportation in terms of bridges, and now we have the phenomenon in eastern parts of our country of natural bust -- gas trucks going over single- lane road bridges, and the catastrophe is that hand. so, safety is important. i want the money spent for jobs, transportation, bridges, and all kinds of transportation modes, but in so doing we have to be very conscious of the safety aspect. we talk about safety almost as if it was something that came along that would happen naturally and that is not the way it works. you have to 50 much talk in the legislation about what is it pretty much talked in legislation about what safety is going to -- pretty much talk in legislation about what safety is going to be or else it will not happen. we talk about reducing drunk driving, and that is a priority could we talk about increasing seat belt use. i could remember when

there is one human institution that makes the pauper the equal of the rockefeller. the stupid man equal of an einstein. the ignoreant man the equal of any college president. that institution, gentlemen, is a court. our court system has its faults, as do all other human institutions. our courts are the great levelers. and in our courts all men are created equal. i know idealists to believe firmly in the integrity of our court and our jury system. that's a living, working reality. gentlemen, a court is only as good as every man of you sitting before me on this jury. a court is only as sound as its jury and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up . i'm confident that you will review without passion the evidence you have heard, come to a decision and restore this defendant to his family. in the name of god, do your duty. in the name of god, believe him.

i remember his telling me that nelson rockefeller was involved in support of brennan, such a powerful political figure in the state of new york, john mitchell who was head of the president's re-election committee was involved. and i told george i would resign quietly, but i could not back down on this issue. then i was asked to go down to key biscayne to meet with the president, and i said this was no point in it because i wasn't going to change my view. i would be glad to resign and resign quietly. i think it was three days later george schultz called me over to the white house again and said, okay, you can appoint clay cattrall, but you caused a lot of difficulty, a lot of trouble, and it is -- you may not travel to the state of new york between now and the election. >> was it -- >> as a government official. >> was it at this time that you had that meeting with john ehrlichman where he talked about colston? >> no, it was later that summer, later that -- i think it was june. i became increasingly concerned about colston's talk with local unions about cases that the labor department h
