the other case i think that for me marked the roberts court if nature was the seattle and louisville case, where the supreme court reached out to take an issue on voluntary efforts to desegregate public education in urban centers. and the court reached out, where there was no split in lower courts. they took that case in order to reverse. and i recall just as brier's dissent from the bench. to me it was one of these paradigm shifts that you see in the court pick history, where if you were there, as i was, when cowper versus aaron was decided, and when the court was trying to work out all of the sequels to brown versus board -- to see the seattle and louisville cases come along, and to see them dealt with as they were, first of all, was astonishing. second, it told me in a way that nothing else has that we are really in a new age with the roberts court, a very new age in which cultural change, it seems to me, will be a hallmark of what the court does for the next 20 years or so -- major cultural change is on the agenda for the court. >> i think the seattle and louisville cases were th

seattle, washington, was one of them. high-risk communities. and it became so popular that we went back to congress, and they gave us $25 million. and i think it was the first time in the history of the federal government that any federal agency had created a public-private partnership with businesses, corporations, foundations to support a local community to minimize the risk. and it was really interesting. at our last project impact summit, he had 2,500 participants. legislators, mayors, councils members, city councilmembers, individuals, businesses, we had nascar as a partner passing out 62 million pamphlets on prevention. they painted kenny irwin's car at the daytona, first daytona race, project impact color green, and he was our spokesman, and then he got killed in new hampshire in a wreck. but they participated in that summit. they brought their racing teams up there. they brought simulators up there. four top nascar drivers were there. this was the fastest growing public-private partnership prevention program the federal government has e

. >> i am from seattle, washington one of the first things you were talking about is that we need to engage these voters. you brought in young people to run that part of the campaign. what about other democrat? -- demographics? >> we had someone well experienced in organizing younger voters. i don't have much of a memory. we had gay people organizing gay people, black people organizing black people and latino people organizing latino people. it was people of color who were riding and running programs. it was people of all races and gender and gender identities. they were organizing everyone. americans writing and directing these programs. it was african american women helping us to know÷7>ou to talk to african-american women. we had the benefits of resources. we were able to really do it right. there are many campaigns that have not done a good job that throw in a particular person that might be a good manager or good supervisor to put these programs together, but they are not experienced and we were able to get the best and most experienced people to do each segment. >> thank you. >

and prior to this, he was the chief of police in seattle for eight years. next, we have assistant secretary john morton. he leads the principal investigative component for dhs and also the second largest investigative component in the u.s. government. he's a career attorney, doj experience in government service for many years. then we have deputy commissioner aguilar, a career border security officer for 30 years, and now is the deputy commissioner of the customs and border protection. and then lastly, we're very -- it's actually one of the honors we have here is chief davis, who is the chief of police of san jose, caliiornia, and president of the major cities chiefs association, flew in on the red- eye today to be with us, and he's been with the police force there since 1980. so we're actually really privileged to have him here as well. i'm going to go ahead and take the prerogative of opening up the first question. and i want to tap into some of the local law enforcement experience we have at the table here, and ask a question about information sharing. w

seattle, washington -- in the third-year anniversary of seattle -- that night, they had a 7.0 earthquake. the next day, the mayor was on cnn. they said, mayor, you have very little damage. very few injuries. only one death. it was a heart attack. what did you do? he said, project impact. we retrofitted our schools, bridges, hospitals, public buildings. people took it on themselves. low-income housing and volunteer organizations did all of this. that was the very day the bush administration cut the program. home depot and lowe's were partners in florida. they had one whole aisle in their stores and products that people could use themselves to retrofit their homes for hurricanes. they had training classes every saturday for these individuals to come in and to learn how to do it themselves. it was a very exciting program. a lot of communities are still doing it on their own. we just want to join. they did not want any money. they just wanted to join. they thought this concept was the bass -- the best scene -- the best thing since mom and apple pie. brought people together. i was excited abo

host: thank you, seattle, washingttn. guest: he makes a very good point. the traditional view was that if you worked in the public sector, you gave up some way to benefits in exchange for better deferred benefits and greater job sscurity. some of the more recent data i have seen makes his point pretty compelling. there are a lot oo job categories where the public sector salaries are higher than private sector salaries. it is not an issue across the board, but we need to be cognizant of this. if you work for a regulatory agency, you actually do not for dissipate in a defined plan anymore. you are more in a 401k type of system. many companies in the private sector have gone that direction. some state and local government3 which begins to control the costs from the standpoint of the sponsor whether it is the federal government, private company, or state or local government. that shifts the risks to the individuals. as we have seen given this most recent market experience, they're not the ones best positioned to manage those risks. the traditional 401k system

he has spent his life in law enforcement and policy regarding that, including as police chief for seattle washington, police commissioner for buffalo, new york, and served in the st. petersburg police department and later as police chief at port st. lucie. he also served as deputy director of the u.s. department of justice. we have been talking about the white house balanced approach, but you come to it with a law enforcement background. what most affected your views about drug use and drug policy over your career? listening to the officers and detectives that become incredibly frustrated. they are the first ones to be supportive of drug courts. they are the first ones to be supportive of treatment on demand. i have never heard my colleagues, former colleagues of police chiefs and sheriffs, call it a war. i have heard them say we cannot arrest our way out of the situation. so looking at those, not being soft on drugs but being smart on drugs probably makes a lot of sense. also, treatment is about half the cost of incarceration. guest: sharon, democrats line, you are on. caller: mr. kerlik

i have been living in seattle for the past 15 years. i do think all this talk about the washington bubble is a little phony. there are actually more and the rest of the country than in washington city because we get a constant flow of people who have been from other places. what you said about how people have unrealistic expectations, i completely agree. host: the next phone call from philadelphia, on the democratic line. caller: of a like to start out by saying our president is doing a wonderful job with everything that was left for him to have to take charge of it -- i would like to start out by saying. he took charge of november 5, 2008. once he won the election george bush just disappeared. please do not cut me off. this country, not just the government, has always operated on mis-truthis -- lies. the polls the state that 70% up to 85% that say the country is against the administration, you are only polling the 70% or so of the people who did not vote for barack obama. you must clear up that. john mccain and sarah palin received 70%

i just finished a town hall door, and i was in chicago, madison, minneapolis, seattle, portland, denverd i have more planned as well. everywhere i went, i ran into people in their 50's who cannot get back into the economy because we are looking at age discrimination right now that needs to be addressed. we do not value people anymore. we makk a determination that we may have to pay them a little bit more and we are looking for cheaper labor all the time. what this is doing is pushing down the standard of living in this country because we have got trade agreements that obviously are putting pressure on the american worker and the middle class. until we address that and the bigger picture, we are going to continue to see that. until we set the table for taxes, we are going to see more of this take place. we have corporations -- and, sir, you must not be in ffvor of this -- corporations with offshore mailboxes not paying their fair share, doing business in this country. why will the republicans address that? why won't the congress address that -- why won't the republicans address that? why

seattle times: republicans continue blocking a federal aid bill. the republicans in the senate have made the decision to do everything they can to turn the country upside down to, do everything they can to stop any economic recovery because they think it may help barack obama. it may help some of their people trying to run for senate seats around the country. so they figure as bad as they can make the economy, the better off they will be. that's a pretty difficult view for people who are united states senators. the presiding officer is a senator from the state of oregon, and that is your prime responsibility, is to take care of their state. but also as a united states senator have to be concerned with what goes on in the other 49 states. that's our job, our role. that's the way we were constitutionally designated. the bill they rejected yesterday creates jobs. as the headlines say, closes corporate loopholes. the bill yesterday that was rejected by the republicans would stop jobs from being outsourced, from american companies getting tax breaks by

imagine what we'd do i1,000 rockets were fired into seattle or into detroit or any other border area. in the case of israel, one million people live within rocket range of gaza. and those one million people have been living through hell for yires, with a 15-secon warning, a 15-second warning to seek shelter when the rocket attacks begin. and you as a result of that, 13 israelis have died, but it's inflicted huge harm on the people who live within rocket range in south israel. 1/3 of all the children in south israel suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome. again, imagine what we would do to stop such attacks if they were directed against us. that's the fundamental reason why israel feels obliged, the israeli military feels obliged to do what it needs to do to protectity citizens. these ships were not in any way interfered with because they were carrying humanitarian aid. these ships were interfered with for one reason and one reason only, that's because they could have been carrying missiles and rockets and things that can be made into missiles and rockets. it's the fundamental duty

host: barbara, seattle. go ahead. caller: i wonder -- i am concerned about powered drums going to china, but i am also reject about our job s -- our jobs going to china, but i am also concerned about the taxes. your guest need to get them into the community and talk to people because he is talking from a small window of his own intelligence. guest: i sympathize with what i see as some of the underlying points from the caller. we still have the strongest economy of any other country, highest living standards, and i do not think anybody should tell us short. host: next phone call. dan on the democrats line. caller: i had some comments about the economy. we have enough natural gas tapped and capped in the country to convert every vehicle to natural gas, get away from foreign oil, and employ 9 million people immediately. i just wanted to know why we are not attempting to do something like that? host: connect that to china, if you can, at all. caller: they are picking up their production. all we are trying to do is get our

host: back to the phones, seattle, washington, attorney on our line for independence. -- ernie. h caller: my question is around how the survey got started. what prompted the need for this type of information? how is it used? in other words, among -- one of the lower rating countries i noted with turkey. does that mean you go out and do a popularity campaign or do something to try to raise those percentages? who uses this information? guest: we are funded largely by the pew charitable trusts. the project was started back in -- about a decade ago. originally, the idea was to look at globalization, but after 9/11, a host of other issues on the agenda as well, so we have done a lot every time on america's image of perceptions of extremism in predominantly muslim countries, on the globalization, and lots of other topics. in terms of how the information is used, we do not use the information to make policy recommendations. we do not go around saying that "based on our data, the government should do xyz to improve its image," but we hope the information is helpful to those in governmen

in seattle super bool, a reat guy, great guy, but he mentioned four veres of scripture and he said 30. . 19 and i'm quoting from the most quoted book. the first 150 years oftentimes our legislators were afraid to file a bill without having a scripture basis to back it up bbt sean quoted from the bible. i call heaven and earth to witness against you today that i set before you life and death the blessing and the curse so choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants and love your god by holding fast to him because this is your life and the length of your days that you may live in the land and give to him. he also quoted from matthew 5. 24 no one can serve two masters or he will hold to one or despise the other. you cannot serve god. you know, these days, some constituents get pulled away because they are torn. they'd like to serve the tremendous power in this country, torn between constituent service and power. and then in some cases we see here george sorros has made more money than anybody in this country because of british petroleum and all that has happened there

seattle washington is an interesting one.it atually had a dole bubble having to do probably with the dotcom boom followed by the national housing boom. minneapolis had a more midwestern bubblebut it's still increased significantly and you can see that the maximum down paent there would have peaked at about 34% if you had let the full formula take effect or a smaller fraion if you have less aggressivedamping. cleveland barely had any bubble at all in the formula would have d no effect there. it would not have saved them in and when there was a drop in housing prices but yet there would have been fewer people is heavily underwater as they are, even n places like cleveland. the 10 cityaverage, the simplest thing to do is to take national numbers and have one national number for what you have to do, not attempt to do regional justman of this formula. if you do that you can see that would have forced natnally a very substantial down payme on the order of 43% if we had that very aggressive rule which nationally would have pulled a
