secondly, even if i was, what's wrong with that? that's my business and has no relevance to the comment i made. it was an effort to diminish my credibility in the mind of anybody who was watching this sorted episode. >> they smeared you. >> that's right. well, now, look at that. there, i think that's right. [laughter] >> well, it's interesting you present this entire episode at the beginning of "muzzled,," but "muzzled" talks about stifling honest debate, and on an array of issues from abortion to health care that we're not able to have a healthy debate because of the kinds of things that essentially did you in at npr.

secondly, i invite them to do the math for that situation. people are assuming it's one size fits all. if you do numbers it's different. it is not correct to discuss the sales tax in the same breath we talk about 9-9-e-9. like it's not correct to talk about the sales tax to talk about the 82,000 tax code. we're replacing that. taking out invisible tax code. >> bret: charles? >> say you are a senior, live on fixed income, you live on social security. you are going to pay minimal income tax. low level of revenue. corporate tax don't affect you. but live in a state with 7% sales tax. along comes president cain. you buy loaf of bread and you have 7% sales state tax and 9 cents on the dollar cain tax and you will pay 15 cents. >> several things. first of all, in our 9-9-9 model seniors don't pay tax on the social security benefits. secondly, if they receive income from the capital gains, no tax on capital gains. we're replacing those. the hardest for people to get their head around, and i realize it's a tough sale but i believe in the 9-9-9 plan.

secondly, i didn't recognize the name at all. the time she referenced was during the time was the ceo and president of the national restaurant association. it's headquartered in washington, d.c., where 150 workers worked, and we have about 150 people in chicago where she said she worked for our educational foundation i tried to remember if i recognized her and i didn't. i tried to remember if i remembered that name and i didn't. the charges and the accusation are -- i absolutely reject. they simply didn't happen they simply did not happen you know for decades, the american people have wanted a businessman in the white house and not just another politician. for decades, all the politicians have been doing is kicking the can down the road, trillion a little here, trim a little bit there when america's biggest problems simply got worse well, a businessman by the name of herman caen stepped forward, here am. i know from the american people i have talked with and spoke with over the past few months, we're not going to allow washington

secondly, one would have to be rather naive not to at least acknowledge the possibility that drivers who are not disabled are never the west securing disabled placards from health practitioners. the report does not indicate any oversight over health practitioners. the process will be a very lengthy one. in the interim, there's no mention of any initiatives to strengthen the mta's woefully inadequate placard fraud protocol. this leads me to the $8.4 million mta estimates its losing annually due to disabled placard fronaud. 2007 report called upon the san francisco mta to train more parking control officers. it is asserting its aggressively combating this by increasing the number of officers from four to 11. astounding as it may sound, 11 out of 260 are authorized to request certification of disabled placards. sf mta justifies its current approach on the grounds that the sensitivity that handicapped drivers must be observed. however, as outlined in sf park's best practices report, other states have found that the first priority for legitimately disabled persons is the availability of d

secondly, we need to put economic pressure on iran by way of our own energy independence strategy by having our own energy independence strategy, we will impact the price of oil on the world market because iran uses oil, not only as a means of currency, but they use it as a weapon. one of the reasons that they are able to afford that nuclear weapons program is because of oil. secondly, we would then work to increase sanctions on iran along with our friends and our allies so whereas we would not be-- so where i do believe they have a nuclear weapons program and they are closer to have having a nuclear weapon, stopping them, the only way we can stop them is through economic means. >> garrett: aa quick follow-up. when you say assisting the opposition, would you entertain military opposition? >> no, i would not entertain military opposition. i'm talking about to help the opposition movement within the country. and there's one other thing that we could do. we could deploy our ballistic missile defense capable ageis warships strategically in that part of the world. we have the biggest flee

and secondly, the transit center district plan, we are completing trans bay terminal. when you look at these plans together, it makes for a vastly increased and vastly improved public environment. unexciting part of the city for the downtown plan that suggests the downtown grow. thirdly, i want to make a comment about the design. the final design of the department has not been approved by the planning commission as of yet. we think that this design is very innovative in many ways, taking a very unusual -- not only incorporating the needs of the museum, but increase public access to the site. it is a huge plus to tehe city. for a number of reasons, we are pleased to bring this before you today. i will ask kevin to address you. >> i'm kevin gai with planning staff. supervisors will lead to approve the zoning map amendment that resounds 76 hours straight, the existing fire station from -- residthe amendment is necessaryo incorporate the property and a to facilitate construction of the fire station. it will revise them out to reflect the relocation of fire station number o

it does two things, it shows the rest of the world it won't be tolerated and secondly, to alan's point cyber gets weaponnized and can do far more destruction now, whether it's markets and money or intellectual property or things like spuxnet to critical infrastructure. we want to add jumpsuits to that equation as well. >> which is a good chinese recruiting tool. alan, let me give you the last word. you told me you think there's still some upside here. >> the united states is doing a phenomenal job in beginning to turn the tide. we have upgraded the skills to our high school and college kids. the defense department is leading the way, leading by example. so i don't think we want to end this on a negative note. >> guys, thanks very much for joining us. we really appreciate it. coming up in my notebook, why the super >>> all eyes are on the so- called congressional super committee that has until november 23rd, to determine how to cut $1.2 trillion of federal spending over the coming decade. if they fail, half of the cuts, about $600 billion will come automatically from national security i

european leaders making the decisions that are necessary and i believe that that is happening but secondly they also have to be resolved by the european economy which underpins. our financial system that by that economy be strengthened by being reformed by growing by jobs being created. off showed the crisis of two thousand and eight the g twenty was considered to be to become the the main mechanism main instrument solving. the problem self-serving financial problem solving management problems on the continent after the summit in france that said that it just took place do you agree that this mission is being fulfilled by the g. twenty what i think i think it will be wrong to place to place an emphasis on the g. twenty the g. twenty to really has a very critical a very important role to play in the overall management of the global economy but there are of course very many countries who are not a part of the of the g. twenty i think one of the lessons that is emerging from this period of economic turbulence is perhaps the necessity to look again at the international financial institutions a

office now to new offices of the office first of all of the president of the european council and secondly the office of the high representative which deals with the foreign affairs side of the european union. czerny's many today seen as a universal means of soul the european financial problems many people in europe are not happy with that they don't want to too many chinese investors in europe what's the irish position it's well arnold welcomes from china and indeed we've had discussions with. chinese leaders chinese businesspeople to encourage investment in ireland to trade between art and china but i think we have to be clear about this there is no facing a single silver bullet that resolves the european financial crisis and that includes the idea that chinese money is some kind of a silver bullet that will result in financial difficulties in europe financial difficulties in europe the problems in the eurozone have to be some results first of all by european leaders making the decisions that are necessary and i believe that that is happening but secondly they also have to be resolved by

secondly we're going to do deficit reduction as we should though not in the short term. believe we are overcommitted worldwide in the military and that includes by the way the president, why we are sending 2,500 marines to australia at a time when we haven't got enough money to do things at home baffles me. we are in an interesting situation now. it has been triggered. that will make substantial reductions in the military. even more so than the other programs i care about. there will be a right wing effort, in some democrats to undo that and to protect the military from any aid of further cuts. to protect the military from any ourt cuts you've got to do one of three things. reduce the amount by which you reduce the deficit. or cut social security and medicare or cut other domestic programs. i don't think we should do any of those. i intend to spend about half my time on protecting financial reform and half my time on this. i just got a call from my office with some other members. i have requested a house democratic caucus. it will be out wednesday morning to push for def

secondly, i didn't recognize the name at all. the time that she referenced was during the time that i was the ceo and president of the national restaurant association. it's headquartered in washington, d.c., where about 150 workers work. and we have about 150 people in chicago. where she said she worked for our educational foundation. i tried to remember if i recognized her and i didn't. i tried to remember if i remembered that name and i didn't. the charges and the accusations i absolutely reject. they simply didn't happen. they simply did not happen. you know for decades the american people have wanted a businessman in the white house. and not just another politician. because for decades all the politicians have been doing is just kicking the can down the road and trim a little bit here and trim a little bit there. when america's biggest problems simply got worse. well, a businessman by the name of herman cain stepped forward. here i am. but i know from the american people that i have talked with and i have spoken with over the

secondly, we have had siloed siloed networks if you will, wireless networks and wireline networks and i.t. networks. we want to have unified platforms to bring to consumers and businesses so that they can converge their services if you will. video, we say anytime, anywhere, anyplace and similar for other data services. i think those are two of the things you can expect from verizon, trying to bring to the consumers and businesses a converge set of communication services. >> host: tom tauke as executive vice president for verizon for policy and kim hart is a senior technology reporter at politico. >> you would you continue your statement please? >> i'm prepared to wait for my answer until hell freezes over if that is your decision. >> he was the one ambassador for president kennedy during the cuban missile crisis. former governor of illinois and twice ran as the democratic nominee for the president and lost. adlai stevenson is featured this week on c-span series, the contenders from the stevensonp family home at libertyville illinois. it. live friday at 8:00 p.m. eastern. for preview i

a my friends going on more of a hunch given her close proximity to the top secret documents the secondly the evidence that they do have is deemed to secret to be made public now although the majority of the special immigration appeals commission was in the public to main large chunks and crucial chunks weren't and those were the parts where m i five actually put forward their evidence and and it was deemed too sensitive in terms of national security not only for the prestige but also amy said juliet and her lawyers and so if she is deported then we'll never know what if any evidence there is against it. ok out about it reporting from london there thank you. for coming your way in the program choosing a new direction. we left the elections russians are beginning to wonder whether tandem that's been driving them the past few years will take them in the future. fresh crashes have erupted between nato forces and locals along the serbian border with northern coast of the two serbs and two nato soldiers were injured in the latest round of violence earlier this week where tensions have been run

secondly, one would have to be rather naive not to at least acknowledge the possibility that drivers who are not disabled are never the west securing disabled placards from health practitioners. the report does not indicate any oversight over health practitioners. the

states of the eurozone are almost losing their an entire sovereignity that's the basic point of secondly we need plans from all the euro member countries euro zone countries we need plans in which they outline in a very credible way how they will bring under control especially the spending side of their public finances so about the eurozone states themselves there have been calls to expel some of them from the union do you think this will have an effect on the rest of the bloc will it be a positive or negative. you mean by expelled from the ice leaving the euro zone oh yes yes well i think countries like greece and more and more also poor to go should should leave the eurozone because there's no other way out what do we see this country's and let's take the example of reese we see an ever deepening recession we may or we must talk today off the deep question an economy contracting by something like eight percent on the yearly basis you cannot keep your budget under control in that kind of economic contraction the only way to solve the situation is true a massive devaluation of the curren

secondly, we need to put economic pressure on iran by way of our own energy independence strategy. >> cain said that iran uses oil as a weapon and that's one of the reasons it can afford its nuclear program. mitt romney went as far as to say that if the nation reelect president obama, iran will have a nuclear weapon. >>> one of the final 11 on the x factor really shined this week. she is the youngest contestant and she is taking the internet by storm. it's a voice you've got to hear that you missed this one. hi, gwen. >> hi. the weekend continues to be pretty on the upside. the details coming up in your full forecast after the break. stay with us.  >>> plenty of sunshine today and temperatures some 3 to 4 degrees above the seasonal average. we hit 64 degrees at national airport officially. 62 in dulles and the same at bwi. temperature right now 54 in annapolis. 51 in d.c baltimore at 54 degrees. 50 at dulles and 51 degrees at haggerstown. we see some clouds roll in a little bit tonight but a ridge of high pressure is going to hold us into the course of the next few d

secondly, let's analyze the facts. this is not a partisan issue. when you look from the early 1990s through 2011, we've had four presidents, george herbert walker bush, 91, george walker bush, 42, barak obama, 44, the first two presidents, 41 and 42 did three things in common. first, nay imposed tough budget controls that kept congress from making more promises when they already overpromised, constrained defense and other spending. secondly, did not expand entitlement programs the most imprudent thing to do, and they broke campaign promises on taxes when they saw they made irresponsible. 3-and-0, batting a thousand, one republican, they did the right thing, and it took us from deficits to surpluses and projected surpluses. fast forward to bush 43 and president obama, 0 # for -- 0-for-3, a strikeout. bush 43 is gone. president obama is change the course. the question is will he? both political parties have acted irresponsibly. presidents from both parties acted irresponsibly. we don't have enough people who are fiscally responsible, and we don't hav

and a waste of money firstly because judas is not the most respected character in the bible and secondly they should rule the channel this money into settling this state don't last some words of advice from prime minister put in as he is officially nominated by the ruling united russia party as its candidate to run for president in next year's election. very warm welcome to you this is r.t. it's now three am here in moscow with our round up of our top stories from the past seven days as we go to our top story now into her square you have the scene of mass demonstrations the head of egypt's military gives a stark warning to protesters saying there will be grave consequences if the country fails to pull through the current turmoil earlier in the day he also met with top army political and revolutionary leaders to form an advisory council designed to help the government during this transitional period this comes ahead of the country's first parliamentary election since the fall of hosni mubarak archies an isa now i brings us the latest from cairo. but when you talk to people here on talk to

secondly, we're spending money we do not have. it's unfortunate that people are unemployed. this is one of the reasons that i have proposed a bold plan to get this economy going which you know is 9-9-9. people need to go -- want to go back to work. that's the good news. but this economy's not producing the jobs in order to get 14 million people that are unemployed back to work. >> about 2 million of those will lose their benefits in long-term unemployment benefits are not extended. and there are lots of studies that show that one of the quickest ways to get money into the economy is through these unemployment benefits. so if i read you correctly, you would not be for extending those for another year but you would be for the payroll tax cut. >> candy? it's not that simple. and this is part of the problem. what we need to do to get this economy growing is to put fuel in the engine which is to cut taxes to businesses and individuals, rather than just cutting the payroll tax where people might have a thousand dollars. let's cut -- if the president wants to do something in the sh

said that that in the first place elections in this country is a domestic a federal question and secondly advice that the money cash injections which the west spans on the county of united russia broke again that should matter of despond goes on we all make raises prices the same the european union and elsewhere but he did it because i know that representatives of some foreign states pay money to so-called receivers of grants and instruct them how to do certain activities to influence the election campaign in the country in the long run it is as people say a waste of time under waste of money firstly because judas is not the most respected character in the bible and secondly they should rather channel this money into settling this debt and cut short an effective and costly foreign policy where our foreign partners will be better to unite their efforts with us to fight against the challenges and threats to the world. many described as upcoming sunday's momentous elections as the legal steps for running a supporters' popularity in this country the most recent public opinion polls show that

and waste of money firstly because judas is not the most respects his character in the bible and secondly they should draw the channel this money to settle their estate debts and cut short in the fact and costly foreign policy when you're in their shoes that one week ahead of the elections the most recent public opinion polls show that united russia remains number one party in this country with these two three more sound. voters supporting the party now there was that's two hundred feet to the point potential sales in the state duma the lower. chembur of the russian parliament the communist states expected to come second with twenty percent of the vote of the liberal democrats would get twelve percent then just propped up nine percent of all the other parties according to the polls on who gets who in one percent that's up less than a minimal that and treat rush holt of up seven percent while opposition meanwhile claims that united russia party is popularity is dropping steadily and that set me up coming vote as lining up to be one of its morris performances ever and prime minister vladimi

france for example you know wouldn't we just go back to bilateral trade like we used to have and then secondly the bloomberg article believe it was today it might have been in yesterday's online press that laid out the seven point seven trillion dollars as you moused over the various points on their on their graphic they identified the various banks they got that seven point seven trillion and how much money they made of it and the largest banks in germany were among the top ten as i recall that got money from our fed couldn't our fed simply run to the rescue. well i think you have to see it in kind of stages part of the german problem is the problem of the world we are now dependent on credit every government is in deep debt that's part of this problem most corporations are in deep debt most consumers in the advanced part of the world carry huge amounts of debt it means that without a free flowing credit system nothing can work and the whole thing kind of grinds to a halt the big problem in europe is that banks the center of the credit system or owned the debt of countries that cannot or will

secondly, i didn't recognize the name at all. the time that she referenced was during the time that i was the ceo and president of the national restaurant association. it's headquartered in washington, d.c., where about 150 workers work. and we have about 150 people in chicago. where she said she works for our educational foundation. i tried to remember if i recognized her, and i didn't. i tried to remember if i remembered that name, and i didn't. the charges and the allegations i absolutely reject. they simply didn't happen. they simply did not happen. for decades, the american people have wanted a businessman in the white house, not just another politician. because for decades, all the politicians have been doing is kicking the can down the road, trim a little bit here, trim a little bit there. when america's biggest problems simply got worse. a businessman by the name of herman cain stepped forward. here i am. i know from the american people that i have talked with and i have spoken with over the past several months we are not

secondly -- >> would you agree there was confusion there? because you indicated in some interviews that that wasn't your position. >> no, i did not. see, that was taken out of context, is what i'm saying. the interview where it was taken out of context was a highly hypothetical situation and they pulled that out without showing the entire segment. so this is why i'm setting the record straight because confusion has been generated. i'm pro-life from conception. secondly, on foreign policy, my foreign policy philosophy is peace through strength and clarity. i've been real clear about that. and the other thing relative to foreign policy is that i've been real clear about how i disagree with president obama on the draw-down of troops in afghanistan and iraq, et cetera. so i've been real clear. but a lot of confusion has been thrown my way, and that's part of the -- part of politics. but it's real clear where i stand. >> you don't think you could be clearer? because it does seem you say to our piers morgan that when the question comes to life of
