i want to turn this to ruth c. jones -- >> mr. payne, if i could, please. >> go ahead. >> to dovetail off the previous speaker, the main reason why it's dropping, in october of 2008, the sba no longer certified businesses as small, disadvantaged businesses. it becomes self certification, which means elizabeth warren up in massachusetts can now be an sdb and is wrought with fraud right now. but the showtime comes when these fronts come up there and get their sba lending money. they're not black. they're not hispanic. you know, they're native americans from 132nd parts of their blood. so that's the big problem. they need to shut the program down and recertify everybody all over again. >> thank you. >> it's corrupt. >> well, i got to tell you, that sounds like -- an answer a lot of government policies and government function out there. we probably could scrape the whole thing at the same time. and this is -- but, again, ruth jones, in your town, from what i read, your per capita income is significantly below the rest of the state. po

obviously, ruth, this is a statistical dead heat. maybe the significant part of it is that president obama's lead has, indeed, shrunk at this point, but is there anything in that number that's really surprising? >> i don't think so. i think everybody and primarily among them the obama campaign expected after the very bruising and very long primary season that the republicans had, that the race was going to get tighter, and that this -- it is a long, long time until november, and there are many gaffes and other things to come. and i have to say one of the things that i would like to see is a little bit less of campaigning by gaffe, your gaffe versus my gaffe and a little bit more serious discussion from both of the candidates about what their exact vision is for the country, for the economy, for the federal budget going forward, and we've sort of lurched from gaffe to gaffe and haven't had much substance in between. >> i want to take people to washington quickly. i'm led to understand as jamie dimon's hearing, the ceo of jpmorgan, bei

president yee: thank you, ruth. i just want to note that the pac's importance to the school district, as evidenced by the fact that two of the staff members who are on vacation felt it was important enough to meet with you -- it really tells you a lot about how low staff and the rest of us feel about your contribution to the discussion in the district. thank you very much, and think all the parents who are involved. commissioner? commissioner murase: i want to recognize ruth for her critical goal -- critical involvement in keeping the pac going. you have been renewed for funding, and i know there is another grant in consideration. the message of the school board supports 100% your work, hoping to sway some decisionmakers on that. thank you personally for all the work you do. president yee: thank you. we will move on to public comment on consent items. just one speaker, president kelly from the uesf. >> thank you very much. congratulations, a new superintendent. and mr. garcia, congratulations on getting out with a b

let's go to ruth coniff. this was not the news anybody wanted. it's the day after. make sense of it for us. what do you think really happened here? >> well, our side lost clearly progressives teachers the whole democracy of wisconsin lost to this tidal wave of corporate money and right wing propaganda. >> eliot: i want to agree with you and hide behind the fact that we were outspent 8-to-1. >> i don't think it's hiding. >> eliot: well give me 30 seconds here. i'm with you emotionally. i want to believe it. but the reality is with all the money that was spent, our side had a chance to make the argument. nobody, i don't think went to the voting booth without hearing the argument that was made in favor of collective bargaining rights for civil service workers, and they seem to have rejected it. the exit polls and a lot numbers, 30-plus percent of union members themselves voted for walker. what is happening with the core support for the right to bargaining. >> that is the heart of the issue. there is something seriously wrong that labor can't make the kiss that 30% of i

thank you, helen and ruth. [ applause ] >> when mr. newman proposed the idea for these talks, he envisioned a series that not only would examine where we are today and where we think we'll be tomorrow, but also that very uncertain place beyond. the series title is, of course, a takeoff on the theme of the 1939 new york world's fair. and those of you who know harrold newman won't be surprised at his idea to push us to take a deeper look at what we think we can know about the future and why, and above all, to reconsider the unqualified belief that motivated the world's fair theme in science and technology as a means to economic prosperity and personal freedom. tonight's program looks at the u.s.-russian relations during the time of ronald reagan and mikhail gorbachev. and asks where those relations are heading in light of all that's happened since. the next program in the harrold and ruth newman world beyond tomorrow series will feature gorbachev himself in conversation with charlie rose. stay tuned. mark october 20 on your calendars. be

. >> thank you, ruth? >> where do we go from here? i believe we continue to look at the tax system which is causing a great deal of problems all up and down the chain. whether you're in a enterprise fund or enterprise area or not, as well as believe we need to continue to move forward as we begin to look at the incentives. and what we can do to try to encourage the banks and the other facilities to release some of them dollars that they have. the dollars are there. it's just with all of the uncertainty. >> they're holding back. >> they're not releasing the money. >> thank you very much. ashley, you had some great points. where do we go from here? >> we have to look at, you know, we hear these slogans like "yes, we can." "we" needs to be the family, the individual. not "they" the government. we don't need to look to the government to solve our problems. we talked about taxation so much but we can't look to socially engineer our way out of this. the tax code is not the end answer. and if we're going to ask "what next?" that needs to be

ruth marcus is my colleague, and susan page is "usa today" washington bureau chief.ou for being here. thanks for your patience, major. you spent a lot of time waiting around for the president of the united states. i don't want to overplay how important this is but given immigration, given the hispanic vote, given how close we are to an election, this is not an insignificant moment. >> the question is deportation has been a contentious issue among latino voters and those lobbying the white house for a very long time. i think this policy change reflects the advocacy of the new domestic policy chief inside the white house, formerly a prominent advocate on the outside representing pro-immigration groups toward the white house. that's one thing that strikes me. second, i think it creates for mitt romney campaign, the beginning of this bus tour, a possibly contentious conversation about immigration issues which they would rather not deal with. >> steps on the mitt romney bus tour. we spent the last hour talking about immigration policy, not mitt romney traveling the swing

ruth, would you like to say a few words? >> i wanted to a knowledge the board, superintendent garcia. i staff the parent advisory council. my son just graduated a couple of weeks ago from all high school. i found out at the end of the semester that he was a classmate of chris'. so it was really exciting to see other students be honored tonight. it is a really exciting time in your lives. i appreciate you for moving of this item to appoint new people. i am going to say a quick thing, that the members of the pac are really excited to welcome our new, prospective members. we are excited because the folks that are coming on bring a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm, and are really active in their children's schools and communities. we are looking forward to that. i want to let you introduce yourselves. say your name and where your kid to go to school. >> my name is gaylin and i am a grandparent. i have three achievers at carper elementary. >> i am amy and i have two daughters at groton. >> i am john and i have one daughter who

ruth jones, i'm going to say my mother's name is ruth. the main reason i'm coming back to you is we talked about some of the more depressing statistics in your -- you're the city manager at rivera beach. 70% african-american, huge poverty, yet there are some thriving black business there's. how are they doing it? how are they surviving? what are the lessons to be learned? >> the black businesses in riviera beach that are thriving is first of all they have been able to get the community to back them. the residents buy from them. the businesses in riviera beach buy from each other. and once you begin to start that kind of synergy, then you can get support for the businesses that are in existence and help them establish spin-off businesses. we're developing our marina. and one of the things that we determined as a government is that when it comes to putting new businesses on the boardwalk and the promenade, we're not going to go out and look for businesses that are nationwide that you got to have a certain income in order for them to come. w

i want to bring in ruth and molly again. do you think that part of the frustration that a lot of people have is this divide or are they playing into it? we like to criticize the things we see out there and maybe we are feeding the problem? >> i think there is a sense of a bit of schizophrenia on the politic. one of the things you see in polls that people very strongly want people to represent them politically to stand on principle. it is a difficult thing to resolve. we are at a point because of the anxiety and the economy, people are not sure where to turn. they cast blame in a lot of of directions and a lot of the money exacerbates that. >> ruth, is the art of compromise dead? >> i don't think it is dead. it hadn't been dead in wisconsin until walker arrived. one of the shocking things to what walker did is what he describes as the divide and conquer strategy. you saw that in the contempt and violating open meeting laws or an allow them to vote on the legislation. also when he spoke to the people of wisconsin, he gave the

. >> ruth, what is at stake here for labor? >> what's at stake, really is the middle class and democracy. scott walker not only eliminated colle collective bargaining rights -- people are energized about what is happening here in wisconsin. unlike the rest of the country. it is not the number two race this year for people in wisconsin, it is really the number one. i think obama had better hope that barrett wins today because this is where the energy is. what is happening in our schools to our workers and to people here in wisconsin is what concerns people. >> molly, i wonder if it will have a trickle down effect specifically about ohio, both sides desperately want to win. how much does labor matter these days? you can argue the influence has been eroding since mondale. >> one of the effects to collective bargaining is the population in unions in wisconsin has declined by quite a bit. i think on the left there is a fear that if walker prevails, governors will feel emboldened to even feel the same agenda and weaken lab error in t

ruth, what's the latest? >> the latest is turnout. i saw a tweet that i thought was a joke saying that dane county is projecting 119% turnout. i said that's got to be a joke. it's no joke. it's because so many people are doing same day registration at the polls. so many new voters are coming out. it's really an amazing thing to see because the republicans have tried so hard to suppress new voters and suppress the student vote. instead, we're seeing people coming out and registering. we're seeing lines so long they are returning out of registration forms. it's turnout like we have not seen in this state. >> john, any problems? >> there have been problems. not the problems that you look for which is huge voter suppression. the biggest problem has been turnout related. that is that in some places they printed ballots for 100% turnout, but now we are talk about perhaps going above that. in dane county they have printed extra ballots. they printed 100%. they printed more in milwaukee county. they are advising voters who are coming to the p

there's lessons for both sides. >> ruth, unfold it for us. >> two things. i think that it is the citizen's united era and we have to do something about it. there's a movement in the country to amend the constitution. money does not equal speech. having more money should not mean having more speech. this is a long-term site. but it's where we are with our democracy. our democracy is at stake here. nd then the labor movement. what scott walker did is he sent a message to citizens saying -- look at your neighbor. the teacher, the firefighter, that person is a person that you should resent and tear down. he said, you know, working people that are very insecure with a 17% rate of union membership, that they should turn and have a 30% rate of union -- >> did the divide and conquer strategy work? >> his divide and conquer strategy was a powerful thing and he divided the state and it looks like temporarily, he's conquered. but this is not a winning message because this is not a message about hope or how you can get somewhere you want to get to. it's a message of re

what an insult to the state of wisconsin. >> ruth, he is setting the table for being a whiner, being a complainer and an excuse? >> yeah. i think first of all they're setting the table to dispute the results. secondly, they're trying to suppress the vote and in particular the tea party group is coming up and getting involved in wisconsin again. these folks came. they want to be poll watchers this time. they came up to declare that whole petition drive to recall the governor was going to be rife with fraud. they did their own data processing and said there were 280,000 illegitimate votes. that turned out to be completely false. now they're coming back. they were called a gop front group. they go to the polls and hassle poll workers and cast their ballots. i think what they're going to find in wisconsin is there are going to be a lot of people there to make sure the people can cast their votes. >> ruth and joan, great to have you with us tonight. thank you for joining us. the verdict is in for john edwards. what does it mean for the two-time presidential candidate? we'll weigh in on th

of these are you know these are restaurants and most people know i was a little surprised to see ruth's chris steakhouse again i know that. when the restaurant is here we say front of the house versus back of the house the people who work in the front of the house are the servers are the. bill a lot of them don't have health insurance but a lot of them are walking out of the restaurant every night with three four hundred dollars in their pockets they're making seventy eighty thousand dollars a year and i'm sure that's probably not the case for the dishwashers. but i mean how can you i guess convince me here that some of these restaurants where the servers are making sixty thousand dollars a year and only working four days a week that these are really bad. i mean if you look at that data actually less than twenty percent about fifteen percent of workers across the country actually make above thirteen dollars an hour so those workers that you're talking about that earn sixty thousand dollars a year are real real exception in a workforce of ten million people even in a fine dining steakhou

are real real exception in a workforce of ten million people even in a fine dining steakhouse like ruth's chris you're going to have a lot of other people besides servers earning that low tech minimum wage of two thirteen you can have busters you're going to have a runner's you're going to have hope you can have lots of people earning very low wages believe it or not we have workers who worked in very fine dining restaurants only two hundred dollars a week also that sixty thousand dollar wage you're talking about at the roots maybe in in new york or in l.a. that may be true there we have so many members some of whom are profiled in my book who work in fine dining restaurants in middle america and take home two or three hundred dollars a week so that particular worker the server who earns sixty thousand year is actually very very rare in this industry of ten million the majority of folks on the to the wage in fact if you look at the data folks on the minimum wage they're median wage is eight ninety six below the poverty line for a family of three and so you've got an industry in which serv

friday, supreme court ruth bader ginsberg talked about the health care case. no case has attracted more attention in the press, and the academy. a line that formed three days before oral argument connectioned. some have described the controversy as unprecedented and they may be right if they mean the number of protested going on outside the court while oral argument was underway inside. she also spoke about press reports on the decision. and though our deliberations are private, that has not stopped the media from rumors and avounts. my favorite wisely observed at the supreme court, those who know, don't talk and those who talk don't know. >> watch the rest of her comments from the american constitution society online. at the c-span video library. >> the ceo of jp morgan chase is on capitol hill on friday. also at the hearing the heads of the securities and exchange commission and the fdic and the comptroller of currency. at 4:00 eastern tuesday afternoon. we are live here at the state department for the release of the 2012 human trafficking report. and whethe
