kennedy: a simplistic, and immature conflation of two things. >> i don't think it is. kennedy: actually they don't have as much in common. >> it is sympathy sim lift -- simplistic but it is about your privacy and protecting it. they -- >> those who understand difference between government and private businesses it makes sense there is a great deal of consistency, and i will fight for you, but i am not going to fight with the panel any more. we're talking about people who are illegal in california, a bill has been passed giving them healthcare benefits. i will tell you where you can get free stuff, next, team howard, u.s. national team goal who made americans care about soccer, weighing in on fifa scandal. and teaching me how to defend a goal, not even lying it is happening and i am going to grow a beard, say right there. kennedy: well, we've cooled down we're happy now. >> we were not angry, we love each other. kennedy: we were all making out during the commercial. >> california state se senate approved a grant for illegal immigrant healthcare benefits, our panel back

it's a structure the police department matches in a very simplistic way, a top down structure. >> is that across the nation or just in some >> it is across the nation. that's not meant to be a criticizing term. >> right. there are a lot of people that do use it in a criticizing form. >> yeah, there is a lot of people with the perspective that police officers shouldn't have guns and there is an association with military. if you are, then it would be seen that way if you have that perspective. absolutely. >> thank you. council member kostanian. cochair supanich? >> i just want to take a moment to thank you for coming. and thank you for going so far in your advocacy. it's taken years to get this far. i don't have a question. i'm just impressed. >> yeah, i think most important message is we have a long way to go. even looking at the police shootings and the fatal police shootings over the past 7 years. the half of the people involved were people with psychiatric disabilities. we have a long way to go and we oftentimes like to sugar coat stuff and think that san francisco is better than e

heard that obesity and related health promissory notes problems are complex issues but it is overly simplistic to single out sugar sweetened beverages as causing type 2 diabetes if you're goal to implement the diabetes solutions the committee must consider important facts that are missing from the discussion i've heard here today first of all, diabetes a serious health concern involves the lack of activities we not talked about that and calory intact not caused b the - the government data shows that the average sodas and sports drinks and energy drinks and sweetened tea have decreased by 2003 and diabetes increased 3 folds in the adults during that time fireman why has not diabetes declined there's no evidence that having the labels routing u ruling out sugary drink beverages will improve the rates of diabetes in san francisco. >> thank you. >> thank you very much i'm sorry your question and i have a question for supervisor wiener. >> i'm sorry i missed our name listing i can't. >> i have a few questions are you a member of the diabetic association. >> i'm a member the of diabetic not californ

>> that might be overallly simplistic. (laughter) >> jon: okay. thank you! time we intervene don't we just suck ourselves further and further into the quick sand? >> yeah, whenever you intervene in something as complex as that region and particularly in today's environment where information passes so fast you can't predict exactly what the outcome will be. so i think what we need to do is one study history so we understand the forces that are there and then go forward very carefully. we won't reshape that region. we don't have the power even if we wanted to. what we aren't going to do either is we aren't going to be able to disengage entirely because it's going to matter to us everywhere and the rest of the world. >> jon: the book is basically that idea of boy you think you have a plan but you need to be more agile because a things are way more complex and we're trying to apply this into other areas beyond just war. >> exactly. in the military there's the saying that no plan survives contact with the enemy. and i think that's what we're finding in business n

person because now for my children to be considered as a human being and practice human rights, the simplistrights needs to produce citizenship and to produce citizenship she has to produce her ghost father who is not there anymore. >> reporter: citizenship and chaos of the earthquake to make this deal and hoping people would not notice that and many of the other agreed it has been overturned and for now the supreme court has an interim one but activist worry that at this time it will be institutionalized, al jazeera. >>> bangladesh in an ethnic minority known as baharis living in refugee camp since it was independent in 1971. in 2008 some were granted bangladesh citizenship but little changed for them and struggling to obtain basic documents like identification cards and we have this report. >> reporter: at the top of mohamed's bucket list is a trip to india. and while thousands of muslims make the pilgramage there he cannot. his application for a passport has been rejected three times and because he is a member of the ethnic minority group he is worried he will not be getting one any time

he had a simplistic worldview. you are charging against that. h.w.: reagan knew what he was doing in foreign affairs. if you focus on a central issue in the cold war, reagan focused on two issues -- shrinking government at home, defeating communism abroad. reagan is for remembered with reference in eastern germany. his challenge to gorbachev. tear down this wall. it is clear in that area that he knew what he was doing. he largely ignored or left to others for policy towards other parts of the world. he was at sea in the east because he was so big on the cold war. nick: a fascinating look at a fascinating man. thank you for coming in. h.w.: my pleasure. nick: you have to trace back to before ronald reagan was in office for the final no. tomorrow, another story may donate the sports world. all eyes will be on american pharaoh to see if he can win the triple crown. it is a feat that has not been accomplished for 37 years. a dozen horses have been able to win the kentucky derby and the preakness, but the belmont stakes has been elusive. it was 1978

actually, the last five states added to the union used very simplistic, distinctive designs, and arizona is one of those. it's known as the copper-star flag, because copper mining was so popular in arizona. >> arizona still produces more copper than any other state in the nation. but it's also known for its magnificent natural beauty. >> since arizona is in the west, there's a reference to the setting sun with 13 beams of sunlight. the number 13 is chosen as a reference to the original 13 colonies. >> the beams are red and gold, like an arizona sunset. but they're also the colors of the spanish conquistadors, arizona's first european visitors. beneath the rays, a large field of blue represents loyalty. by the way, arizona is sometimes called the "valentine state" because it was admitted to the union on february 14th. with "flag facts," i'm veronique. >> they can't talk, but they can make themselves understood if you know what to look for. brandon continues our series on dog body language. >> can you tell if your dog is loving, tolerating, or hating something? the clues are in the dog's b

this is far too simplistic and not even appropriate. supervisor avalos mentioned the basing police staffing on population is total inappropriate. yes, it may make sense to link fundsing of transportation or education based on population size. arguebly a larger pop ulation may need to more riders on muni assuming all the residence don't decide to drive or walk. crime doesn't grow with population. it isn't like there is a consistent number of a population that commits crime. as the population has grown in san francisco so thaz the number of property crimes, but at the same time violent crime went down. crimeerate isn't link today population number. we can grow another 200 thousand residence and crime rate may not go up at all. now let's address the approach to how to make the city safer. i said at land use committee it is easy for me with term limits to promise i will fund more police officers. this is a promise i can deliver on during my time, had you ever it is far more difficult to state i will make the city stairf. the statement i'm a

i think it's really important not to submit to very simplistic reasons for the violence that women face, because we found in our qualitative research that women told us that the reasons were quite vast and often very complicated. >> hinojosa: all right, so let's go back to the issue of equal pay, which is also... you know, it's not like you've seen rallies of hundreds of thousands of women or people at the capitol saying, "equal pay now." a lot of people kind of think, like, "wait a second. things have gotten better." but in fact the equal pay issue... >> is still a very important issue. and i wish that the days would return when we would go to the street again and raise visibility about the continuing inequity. because what we see in the research that we've done to follow up is that there's a perception that women have made it, we have equality. and yet the association of university women found that the wage gap opens immediately after college, and it never closes. >> hinojosa: what's that about? >> the catalyst also found research that among mba graduates, the earning capacity opens i

like wise, it's simplistic to pinpoint that as the only cause. being, i say, is not like water, we don't all boil at 100 degrees celsius, we react differently to different stimuli. for some people, in the counter-extremism policy, you can't say there's one path into radicalization or one path out. grievance is a factor. they can be domestic or foreign policy. i add to that the role of charismatic recruiters, and the role of ideology. unfortunately liberals are comfortable talking about grievances, identity politics. we don't feel comfortable about talking about ideology, we add that there. deliberately. we have to have that. a desire to impose a version of islam over society. >> i feel strongly about it. it's a mistake, and too easy to blame what is happening with i.s.i.l. and the recruitment of westerners into the fold. on the policies of george bush, it's like saying we would have been better off if you left saddam hussein in iraq, and no one would be better off. i disagree with the reasons why we went into i will tell you, it's something i wor

they care about simplistic being made to feel good. and every turn there is quality.nk that luxury doesn't their relationship on what something costs. that there is a relationship to how special it makes you feel and whether or not you feel you are in the special place which is hard to define. you try to capture it in a bottle. charlie: you walk in the new edition hotel. you can't be any better than this. that is an iconic landmark. arne: one of the reasons we were attracted to the building immediately it becomes one of the most iconic. charlie: other than money, what do you bring to the table. capital is a better way of saying it. arne: ian may disagree, but i think we bring a decades long experience in service and genuine welcome. much of the experience our observations of the boutique space, broadly defined, they may create an interesting product but you may have an awful experience. you may have been treated as if are you cool and to be in the hotel? people didn't find that a complete experience. if we can harness our wagon to ian: around the stage and of the hote

but i have heard a lot of perspectives from college that are simplistic and -- callers that are simplistic and liberal agenda. wanting to push guns. but this is like the united states culture as set by the media outlets and our own leaders who, you know, they are in the political game and they have to play on emotion and so do demographic factors simplifying things and they don't consider the impact of geography, culture and under underlying societal conflicts that are impacting today's generation. i believe that our country would be better served if we had leaders like loyd feinstein. guest: who host: lloyd blankfein. caller: he doesn't let emotions effect his. he evaded most of the investigators' comments but he did so in a way that was clever and what i'm saying is that we need people who are impartial, who do not let emotions impact them. who take in all the perspectives and try to put it into one coherent narrative. host: amanda, thank you for calling in and watching. hope we hear from you again in 30 days. any reaction for that young lady? guest: she is right about letting emotions g

is there such a thing as good and bad or is that too simplistic? think that some high-frequency traders provide a value to the market if you're trading an etf against the underlying stocks that's an arbitrage that will exist until the end of time. it's existed for a long time and computers trade that today. we built a market at iex that does not sell certain types of technology advantages to high-frequency traders, and as a result, the high-frequency traders that didn't rely on buying those advantages trade on iex. to their credit they found a way to add value to our market to exist in a market with brokers and asset managers and really not kind of you know -- >> we got to let you go. but ten seconds, we've had the flash crash five years ago. we've had new bans that have been instituted to deal with the problem. is the market safer than it was five years ago? >> i think the market is safer in a way. but i still think that you know can another flash crash occur? i think it's possible. and i think that we still don't have a lot of answers on why the

he argues that presenting president jackson as a frontiersman is too simplistic. he believes that jackson's upgrading -- upbringing in the south is more in line with an elite southern gentleman. this 50 minute program was hosted by the library of congress. professor cheathem: thank you. my name is jeff flanery, i would like to welcome you to the library of congress. the menu for the -- the manuscript library is related to american history and culture. among our collection of personal papers of 23 u.s. presidents and numerous other well-known americans including such notables as walt whitman orville and wilbur wright, carl sagan, and civil rights icon rosa parks. 170 years after his death andrew jackson still dominates the. between the onslaught of the slavery crisis that overran midcentury america. one could mark the expansion of democracy, trace the development of modern political parties, and witness a wave of political partisanship that would not look unfamiliar to modern already and says. -- modern audiences. the library's manuscript division. it is here that

we cannot have a simplistic history. we know intuitively it is complex and ambiguous and i would like to extend this but specific in the battle flag because it is as much an issue these days of current events and history, the more sophisticated view would be that contribution not only in good history but i think also to good citizenship. thank you all for your attention. [applause] the >> as i understand the drill, you have to come forward to the microphone which usually is quite a deterrent. [laughter] the >> on the origin of the battle flag with the cross of saint andrew did it the riot from the cross of saint andrew because you can take the cross of saint andrew, narrow the field and still put some stars and it ended could have the symbolism that they were losing and they were trying to rally. as any moment of that suggestion? >> actually no it became the patron scott scotland but many people believe is a strong part of that as many of you know. it wasn't all that strong that i can tell. a lot of people had made it in

reduction or increase in crime in a single sound bite which we love in television, you've made it more simplistice. what should we be looking at? >> i think the issues are we do love sound bytes. we do love people getting news within the first ten seconds of the news story. very few people read the full dynamic of the story in the newspaper, but i think there are a lot of things that can be done as we look at the issue of crime dropping, is there as much emphasis by the media to find out now are you changing directions in your city to fund things that are fundamentally important to the community? when we hear people in ferguson, we hear people in baltimore what were they talking about? the number one issue was poverty, no jobs. and you hear people talking about all these new programs that we're going to go out and make friends with the public. after you make friends with them if you can't offer them a job to sustain themselves and their family, what options do you believe them leave them. >> glen martin, you believe getting tough on crime only leads to gentrified neighborhoods. but that leads to

we cannot have a simplistic hoyt. we know the history is complex and ambiguous. all history is complex and ambiguous, and i would like to extend this to every -- the study of history in general but specific to the battle flag, because it's as much an issue of current events as it is of history, more sophisticated view of history would be a contributing not only to good history but i think also to good citizenship. thank you all very much for your attention. [applause] >> as i understand the drill to ask questions you have to come forward the microphone. which usually is quite the deterrent, isn't it? >> on the origin of the battle flag with the cross of st. andrew did it derive in any fashion from the cross of st. andrew? because you can day the cross of st. andrew narrow the field and fill it with red and put stars in it and it could have hey symbolism that the scots were a losing group in a sense to the british and were trying to rally. any moment to that suggestion? >> actually, no. the cross of st. andrew, the st. andrew martyred a.d.69, the patron saint of s

i think it's soo simplistic. the truth is there are things happening underneath if this deal works out that are showing positive signs. even if those science may not necessarily lead to all the good things they seem to be pointing to down the road. so let's start with this greece thing. i'm not going to bore you. i'm going to try to put this in language so you really get why this market could rally on this stuff. for months we've waited for someone to finally blame, put an end to this ridiculous standoff. today we got word that german chancellor angela merkel might work a stretch-out of payments that solves the issue for now. that matters. by the way, it's the plan we've been recommending for months. the 30-year stretch i keep talking about. because it gets under the circumstances out of a jam. it would certainly bring some certainty. as cliche as it sounds, the market does have more uncertainty. getting this issue off the front page would make investing, make all our lives so much easier. of course you have to u

fossilize something about a reduction or increase in crime into a single sound byte you made it more simplisticld be. what should we be looking at? >> the issue is we do love sound bites and people getting news within the first 10 seconds of a news story. few people read the full dynamics of the story in the newspaper, but i think there's a lot of things that could be done as we look at the issue of crime dropping. is there as much emphasis by the media to find out now are you changing directions in your city to fund things that are fundamentally important to the community. when we hear people in ferguson hear people in baltimore, what were they talking about. the number one issue was poverty, no jobs. you hear people talking about programs that we are going to go out and make public. after you make friends with them if you can't offer them a job to sustain themselves and their family what options do you leave them. >> you maintain that getting tough on crime leads to jentrified neighbourhoods. i want to push back on that. that carries an assumption that cops arrest blacks hispanics and other m

>> nothing is ever too simplistic you can say it east just race or exclusively not race. yell at police officers all the time. what is the response. i try to look at it not in isolation, but across the country. overwhelmingly it's black kids it happens to. the police officers black and white officers. black cops aren't any better. black and white cops look at black children as older than they are and more guilty than they are. tamir rice looked like a 21-year-old. >> why isn't it simple harry? i will take the other side of this. feel free to knock it down. it is simple. you are the professional. people do all kind of stupid things. some are respectful some are not. you have to deal with them in the same way. white, black, green, brown, it's how you deal with it. >> this officer was out of control. like i said the other day, when you respond to a scene like this you have two black independent witnesses. there was a 30 minute melee going on. we saw a seven minute video. the kids tried to get into the pool. the security guard who could not control it had to call the police.

>> that's not simplistic at all.is that the saudi government and the foreign policy and intelligence activities provides support for those fighting overseas against all kinds of enemies, not just americans, but the serbians and kenyans and a lot of other people certainly. >> michael, i think we have the right to know what the congressional committee learned about saudi arabia. and this my friend is not it. >> that's not it sir. and the american people don't have any idea really what the 9/11 commission was told by agency officers under oath and with supporting documents. because those are archived in the 9/11 commission and was never released. and the 9/11 commission report itself is just a whitewash of what went on. >> michael scheuer, thank you, as always. >>> donald trump has a big announcement and with a planned stop in iowa could he really be entering the presidential race? >>> plus marco rubio under the microscope. his financial troubles and traffic troubles released in "the new york times." did the newspaper g

the product is terrible and the way i know the product is terrible is very simplistic.you believe television advertising works, and i do, twitter gets more free television advertising than any other product in the entire world. and since it has not been able to build its user base with all the free advertising including from myself and everyone on the show, there's no show in the world that doesn't have a twitter handle. no person of note that doesn't have one. the product clear willcy not resonating with consumers, it's resonating with television people, resonating with hollywood for q level. the product itself for a normal person is suboptimal. if you look at the migration off the product. fix the product, the problem is solved. fix the management -- the product first. >> the they've had a lot of churn. bob i'm wondering, what's the risk if the ceo search takes a long time? say it's beyond the end of the year, into next year and they sit on jack as the interim ceo for an extended period. do they lose people nnlly who are key to them? do they turn off people who they a

i think really -- not to sound simplistic but isis is not an 800-pound gorilla in the middle east. if only we would smash this isis caliphate in syria and iraq, we could demoralize the global moment -- >> the argue. against that is they're too spread out and too big and they are very big now. not like the early days in syria. >> they are spread out without a doubt and spreading more and more but if you crush the hub the center of this caliphate this great islamic state they declared that has to have an effect on denting the ideology and demotorhomizing the global movement something even worse may come after isis. don't get me wrong. but right now think back to pre9/11 in afghanistan they -- al qaeda plotted planned trained, carried out 9/11, the same thing developing today. 37,000 square miles of an isis state plotting against america. >> all right eric, thank you you were the first one to tell me and talk about this threat that was isis and i didn't know what you were talking about. that was then, this is now. good to have you. thank you. >> thank you. >> you have seen him. right?

ron paul had a certain quality to the simplistic speech.e has comes in the back drop of the sluggish economy that we have been enduring the nonrecoverry recoverry. see says i know how to make money and run things. >> think about that. he has carly fiorina running as a popular female executive. she has run a very successful company. his company $9 billion. on the other hand he has a history on twitter, shall we say. i don't think bet midler will be voting for him. there have been some tweets. that's all i'm going to say. >> he tweets a lot about if anyone criticizes him he is on twitter which is a little beneath the office. >> translator: he is tweeting about you right now, i can feel it. >> what james described as his message is exactly what mitt romney's message was in 2012. it didn't work. americans didn't want a rich out of touch business executive to be their leader. you have to -- he is going to appeal to a niche of the electorate and probably in the debate somewhere. >> his polls are not bad. i cannot leave this segment without remind

i know that is old-fashioned and simplistic. ms. swain: thank you very much.oday, we focused on first ladies in the history of the white house. if a project -- this whole project -- the reason why the study first ladies is because these are the closest advisors that cannot be fired. the last person the president speaks to you before they go to sleep and the first in the morning. they have this witness to history that is important and unique and worthy of study. thank you for adding to our knowledge of them. [applause] ms. swain: i hope there are some questions. anyone have a question for us about the first ladies and the white house? there is one in the front row over here. >> she said she wanted to have some people know when he walked in the ruby because no one knew he was in the room because he was so small. mr. seale: polk. she was a glamour girl. they called her the spanish donna and she knew it. she supposedly began the march -- hail to the chief was just there from then on. a popular song they used to add to musical shows. not hamlet i don't think. they

here's a way of simplistic classic racism and laughs and like the bigger point is institutional racismd down. presidents and their teams think very carefully about every word they use and poll testing every word that they use. so, what do you think about the president putting -- once again, using the n-word putting it in that comment? is it distracting or powerful? >> i was surprised by it. he was -- press secretary earnest asked about the president using the word and the president said no. i mean josh earnest said no referring to the president and it sounds like he knew it would be provocative. it is not a mistake in the sense to argue the interview's getting more coverage. president obama has said some of the things before but the legacy of jim crow and so on about how discrimination is deeper than words and now getting more attention for views he had using that one word. so in this i think this interview may have accomplished an enusing that word accomplished, you could tell he and also secretary clinton spoke on saturday and speaking near ferguson tomorrow about the same issues and

>> mcdonald: we're simplistically talking about people who violated our values. >> pelley: and thosewhat? >> mcdonald: it's integrity, it's advocacy, it's respect, it's excellence. these are the things that we try to do for our veterans. >> pelley: but bob mcdonald can't punish or fire 1,000 people right now. he's discovering how different the capitol is from capitalism. to fire a government manager, he has to put together a case and prove it to an administrative judge. >> mcdonald: scott, the reason this is... reason this is okay in some respects, is that... >> pelley: a lot of people think it's not okay... >> mcdonald: well, that's different. >> pelley: ...that if people lied and put veterans second and their self first, they should be cleared out. >> mcdonald: absolutely. absolutely. but we've got to make it stick. >> pelley: how do you mean? >> mcdonald: so we propose the action, the judge rules, and the individual has a time to appeal. that's why we have a lot of people on administrative leave-- we've moved them out, because we don't want any harm to our veterans. >> bob, i'd li

i can only stick to simplistic views which is a, every poll in greece that everybody wants to stay.ampaigned on staying in the eurozone. on the european side, even if frustration is melting, it makes more sense to keep greece in then to allow a situation it would be out. to paraphrase, angela merkel when there is a will, there is a way. francine: are you confident that the main players, the people negotiating, the government wants to greek -- greece in the eurozone? that is what the people want. you look at some of the chief negotiators that it is a realization they may actually not feel so bad about leaving the eurozone. gilles moec: there seems to be a faction in syriza which is contemplating leaving. there was always a faction that kept quiet so far. i guess what matters at this stage is what the key players on the political side in greece continue to see. wristers tsipras and mr. tsipras -- mr. tsipras and mr. varoufakis. that would be a good reason to be worried. and the stage of debate, you cannot really call it a negotiation. the debate where annie weapons can be -- any weapo

i think the pope's remark, if it's accurately quoted, is simplistic.ic opinion worldwide. the pope is going to have an impact here. >> well, he has already on climate change and other things. i think he should stick to his day job as opposed -- stuart: i agree entirely, but i keep coming back to it, the man has power in politics worldwide, and this is not going the way that i personally would like to see it go. >> he should say that the catholic catechism says if you deal someone a lethal blow, you will not be guilty of murder. you have a moral right to defend yourself. pope john paul ii said that in his enclickly call in 1995. stuart: john paul ii said that? >> the catechism says if you deal someone a lethal blow you will not be guilty of murder if you are defending yourself. stuart: have you gotten the impression, ambassador, that we're losing? >> this really is not just somebody expressing a different point of view, but expressing it in a very simplistic way. i mean, thinking back to throughout history since christ, there have been any number of occ
