and then secondarily, in looking at other commissions, other commissions that are outside city hall do not allow for audiovisual during public comment. two examples are the housing authority and the health department. so, you're correct that it would set a precedent for all the others outside city hall to do so. >> commissioner andrews? >> well, it seems to me we were talking -- now i'm just getting to the dollars. we were talking about cost. and the $40,000 keeps rattling around in my mind. and i was wondering if we could split the difference in this. at least maybe go back and revisit it and for the cost of -- and if it's about just basically heightening the level of presentation, not to this degree, but a -- an overhead projector and a screen that could cost $5,000 could very well move the needle in some kind of way. and that's why i wanted to hear how many options you've fully explored to ultimately see if you could satisfy this, satisfy this request. >> commissioner, i think i would be willing to go back and explore that overhead projector concept. i know that when we first explor

saudi arabia and secondarily kuwait are pouring large amounts of money into the insurgencies up in onebar province saudi money have been pouring in to the i.s.i. s n l nasr a groups which are operating as the al qaida front on both sides of the iraq syria border iraq has potentially a normas revenue stream from oil but the insurgencies have largely blocked the kind of level of investment to really build up the energy sector that would be vital to a real recovery of the iraq economy u.s. troops withdrew from iraq in twenty eleven could america have done more to prevent this upsurge in violence president obama i hate to praise president bush on anything but president bush paid a lot of attention to maleki and a lot of attention to iraq president obama ignored the entire iraqi situation for well over four years iraq is in a very precarious crisis moment right now and the more outside help that can be given the more pressure on saudi arabia coa kuwait and some of the other g.c.c. countries to back off from financing and arming the insurgency the better we'll all be what lies behind the lat

are dying rapidly that will they have been exposed and we get these healthcare workers who are secondarilyxposed succumbing to the illness. >> we are living in a different cape and age. mass transit is expanding. people have more mobility. how is this changing the major, major diseases like this? >> yeah. when you are think being some of these earlier outbreaks of ebola, they are often in smaller villages where it was easier to contain these sorts of outbreaks. there was less mobility betweenvillages. now, we are seeing the infection in larger cities, larger transportation hubs, and really, people carrying it from one place to another and so, because of this, a lot of international agencies have been involved and really trying to stop the further. >> do you believe there is actually a risk of an infected person there in western africa getting on a plane and bringing this to other parts of the world? >> i think in general, we need to look at it and the strategies of containment and that trying to identify the people who are infected, in some ways, the people who become infected become very

secondarily, when people look at the fundamentals, there is not much there in terms of growth.bly be a quarter of no growth in the advertising business. it is really frustrating from an operational perspective. the company has not been able to post any sustainable topline growth. they are in fact losing shares to the googles of the world. this has been a very tough business for them. the response from marissa mayer has been to try to make some acquisitions and acquire some growth for the company. the most recent strategy, as you mentioned, is getting original programming as online video advertising is one of the strong growth areas of the internet, one that yahoo! is not participating in. >> marissa mayer has been ceo for two years. would you say that she has had enough time to make a mark and that things should look better? >> the honeymoon, if it is not over, should be over very soon in terms of operations. the alibaba aspect has bought her some time. from the investment perspective that has been such a boon for yahoo!, but at some point they will have to get back to fundamen

and so an enormously complicated guy and very interesting character and secondarily sheldon mcclendon, aubrey mcclendon was founder of chesapeake energy and that guy in oklahoma city and many other things and he was also enormously complicated and those were the kinds of larger-than-life characters oil and gas, the energy world seems to produce. did you get to meet george mitchell and get to know him and also aubrey mcclendon? tell us about those people. >> i met both of them. i interviewed george mitchell two three times before he died, got to know him quite well. george mitchell was one of those incredibly fascinating characters, the son of an immigrant, grew up very poor and just pulled himself up. classic american story, and when he passed away was not just incredibly wealthy but had given incredible amounts of money away. what fascinated me about george mitchell was two things. this was a guy who believed in science. he really was -- he was coming into his own at a time when houston was full of wild cats to drill wells on hunches. this guy said no, i want proof before i go drilli

and secondarily, we're not -- we're spending far more than we're bringing in. $1.4 trillion coming in but we're spending far more than that, primarily on entitlements. >> the interesting numbers are that even though we collected this record amount, the deficit -- $413 billion for fiscal 2014. it already amassed that at the time this money came in. how do we rein in entitlements? >> if you look at the money going out in entitlement, it totaled $900 billion in six months. if you throw in the interest that we paid on the debt, that's another $100 billion. that means outgoing is $1 trillion. incoming is $1.4 trillion. that means we've got $400 billion to run the entire government from the military to the agriculture department to the justice department. obviously that's not enough. we're overspending. and we cannot rein in entitlements because neither party really wants to get to grips with reining it in. that's a vote loser. that's the third rail of american politics and nobody wants to touch it. >> it's a record that is not a good one that we've collected that much money. >> i don't thi

. >> secondarily congratulations on the book and we're still rooting for you. >> thank you so much. >ank you for your advice, too, on fatherhood. >> that was given in the commercial break. >> we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. >> that's it for the lead. i'm jake tapper. we will see you at 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. eastern. cnn special report starts right now. >>> this is cnn special report. i'm don lemon. breaking news tonight. the search area for flight 370 has narrowed is significantly tonight after more pings were picked up by the australian ship ocean shield yesterday. 13 ships and 14 planes are out there right now. crisscrossing and area that is 7,000 square miles smaller than yesterday. the search is still going on with the ship's nonessential equipment turned off to minimize the noise. as the search goes on, there's l

there's a problem in function of one particular gene in one of those cells, it affects the other cell secondarily. so in the next image is an illustration of one particular example where a mutation can cause disease in both of these cells. you see some pigment epithelial cells next to the photoreceptor cells which are stunted because they're sickly, and the pigment epithelial cells memeselves are sick -- themselves are sickly. they're accumulating liquid droplets because they have a mutation which prevents them from forming a particular form of vitamin a derivative which they normally supply to photoreceptors that's essential for vision. without the photoreceptors receiving that vitamin a derivative, they can't respond to light and there is no vision. this makes them sick and they die off as the person ages. the same thing can go on if there's a mutation in a photoreceptor, it can cause diseases in retinal pigment epithelium. knowing this, it's possible to, in knowing the genes which cause these diseases, it's possible to intervene. so i would like to give you an example of labors congenital amar

secondarily, he better get his dance moves on point. that's it.jimmy fallon, please, hit me up. [ cheers and applause ] >> oh yeah. >> steve: ♪ lady husky lady husky ♪ [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's not a song at all. >> steve: that is a song. >> jimmy: that is pretty cool >> steve: ♪ lady husky >> jimmy: hit me up. yeah i hear you stefanie. that's why i invite you here to play a one on one basketball game. [ cheers ] -- on the xbox. [ laughter ] i wished girls talked to me like that when i was in college. i would love to hit you up.

[ laughter ] there's a computer viert virus called heartbleed that affected two thirds of all the computer on the internet. security experts are warning people that they need to change all their internet passwords. then my mom said no problem. i'll

and then secondarily they're looking for terrorism connections. that has not been ruled out so far.i've said over and over again, the 9/11 hijacking and attacks started in kuala lumpur in january 2000, did any of these people in the crew have a connection? so far there's been no evidence of it. but you never know. >> you never know. i'm sure people thought nothing of mohamed atta before he went through that magna tom ter and did what he did on 9/11. bob baer, good to talk to you as always, sir. bob baer joining us live on that topic. and in a few moments we'll look at the possibility of the debris from the plane actually one day just washing up on shore after thousands upon thousands of search hours on the water. what shore might that be? that's coming up next.

also, secondarily best buy is name i think there is no reason why the consumer had to visit their stores in the first quarter with weather way it was. i think they're sitting on earnings warnings for the first quarter. yes in terms of opportunity to go long -- liz: you're saying short certain names because of an ugly first quarter? >> absolutely. if company needs a big catalyst. best buy does not have that catalyst. on the positive side, look at dicks sporting goods. from our sources when weather good this store has been out in droves. lululemon sales is decelerating. dicks sporting goods is winning as a result. david: tom, not all big name stocks have done well over the past 12 months and apple is one of them. >> sure. david: apple came down from the 700 stock highs down to about a 500 level and sort of maintained there. do you have any reason to think it will break out of the current level? >> well you know, apple is one of our companies that we look at, we see it as a long-term market ow performer because of the quality of the company, the way it's run. i do, i think that things tend

secondarily how do they make a living? before they got arrested how do they do that? i don't actually know. i assume they heard right it girl groups the obviously referenced the them that and certainly they listen to do various kinds of folk music and lifted some of it to. some of them are college students who were working working, living at home like maria was living at home going to college. some had jobs there was the musician very much involved. some of the most the shoplifted. there are all sorts of different people. >> unfortunately we have run at a time but figgie for your questions that you touched on the areas hopefully we have time to explore. she will be signing outside a and also i would like to ask you to support this program that brings this type of writers to los angeles to nations of course, you can figure out a way to handle that. look forward to her new work right thing on the boston massacre. when do you expect? >>. [laughter] >> thank you so much

and secondarily, the broad feel of reform program and top level design. she is using a political mobilization strategy,? the leading groups that will run down the hierarchy are all led by the local senior party official, and that's great in terms of mobilizing the party apparatus, but when the crunch really comes in implementation of some of these reforms, do you want that top political guy to, the guy who's seeking promotion, or would you rather have a committee of tech technocrats wo understand the situation well? >> we should not assume that the tactics of the left are appreciated. down the line. because they are associated with the past. >> right. >> that was problematic. and so there is, i think there has been a generated some cynicism especially as to the nature of the political direction. >> when you go down and meet with these guys, too, you'll notice that they're 30 and 40 years old which i find extremely frightening, because they're so much younger, so much sharper that they don't really care what our generation of chinese officials and a lot --

sought ways of justifying itself and i think that this institutional self-justification of nato and secondarily of the european union has become one of the major points of tension now in east west relations ok and there was a lot said there james would in washington would you reflect upon what john just said in paris. well yeah i mean i think nato has missions pretty clear it's defined in the charter and it's been changed since it was proposed we have to remember there is so so no such thing as a nato force i mean the nato forces are simply the composite of all the member states so these states have sovereign forces which they use to protect them they use they they choose to join together to cooperate together that i don't think there's anything untoward about that i think it. is anything that suggests that nato exists just for the sake of existing it's a common bond between free nations that hasn't really changed its most fundamentally core since its inception ok eric and in moscow here i mean how do you connect nato to the rubbish ok we'll go back to you in a sec john erik will connect the do

all this as you as you mentioned earlier so it destroys the fabric of what education is about and secondarily they loaded up with lots of debt and subsidize it which increases the cost which makes people not only less educated in the aggregate over time but it dumbs them down the turns it into adults and clubs the other thing about this protecting the too big to fail and sending the students into debt in order to get an education why are they getting an education when most of them think they're going to graduate and get a job right well the other wealth gap the one percent versus the zero point zero one percent everybody talks about the bottom ninety nine percent vs the one percent well the one percent the one percent to the point. five percent have actually their wealth their share of the wealth has remained for. act the last twenty years and if you're in the one percent you're in the mirror single digit million so you're worth it on average in the united states seven million dollars but those people have to work for a living and this is why the point zero one percent are the ones tearing up

crisis in iraq right now is that there's it's well known here in washington that saudi arabia and secondarilykuwait are warring large amounts of money into the insurgencies up in a province and that particularly under the just concluded direction of prince bandar bin sultan that saudi money had been pouring in to the i.s.i. s n l nasra groups which are operating as the al qaida front on both sides of the iraq syria border so these are very serious challenges they're being funded as a sensually foreign backed asymmetric warfare against the sovereignty and continued survivability of a unified state in iraq so those are added dimensions to the problem that can't be ignored ok the current prime minister nuri al maliki is expected to do well and this current election but critics critics actually say that his government has achieved very little do you think that iraq can basically improve on his leadership . well it remains to be seen there's been some changes in the recent period he was in washington in october and for the first time since president obama came into office there's been some attenti

but i think it's very clear the viewers want to watch the area around 1,885, and then secondarily, theyld friendly 10-year yield, and that will tell you how serious any geopolitical rumor you hear is. >> meanwhile, the biggest earnings day of the quarter. is there anything in particular in the earnings coffer that you think investors should be watching for? >> no, the earnings themselves come in reasonably well. again, it looks like financial engineering is doing graduate work here. stocks are up, and earnings are up. and they're really linked. for everyone who says it's all a fad and whatnot, earnings have actually moved in just about the same proportion that stocks have. but the profit margins are at all-time record highs. i said this the last quarter. there is at some point going to be the absolute realization that they can't continue to grow by cutting. >> yeah. >> and things will change. >> art, we'll talk to you soon. >> my pleasure. >> art cashin joining us here. >>> when we come back, another morning, another amazon announcement. yesterday, about hbo raising the stakes of netfli
