i have here with me daniel solomon our architect who will give you the design presentation, as well as christopher cummings, the project manager who is also here and available to address questions. i just wanted to say this is a significant milestone for us to be in front of the planning commission again with this project. it was in 2009 that the commission approved the original project as 100 units of aaffordable housing. and shortly after that, the project was shelved due to lack of financing at the city, state and federal levels. we spent several years looking for alternative sources of funding and it was in 2013 with the support of the mayor's office of housing and community development, that we are able to be competitive and secure an additional $10 million of funding from the state. so we have the funds necessary to proceed with the project at this time. unfortunately, we did reduce the size of the building. as away to reduce construction costs. however we're still providing 83 units of much-needed affordable housing for low-income families. so now i would like to turn it over to

the columns suggest trajan's column in imperial rome as well as the bible's description of solomon'semple. the dome is like the domes of papal rome. towers at the ends of the building suggest an imperial fortress. begun in 1716, the charles church is the work of fischer von erlach, who studied works of bernini and borromini in rome. it's dedicated to charles borromeo, one of the great counter reformation saints. it's not a coincidence that the austrian emperor at the time was also named charles. for in the lands where absolute monarchs ruled, architecture was part of the vocabulary of royal power. the belvedere palace in vienna was built in 1721 for prince eugene of savoy, the general who led the austrians to their victory over the turks. the architect was lucas von hildebrandt. the belvedere actually consists of two palaces set at opposite ends of an enormous formal garden in which nature has been completely subdued. the design is based on a simple program. the two palaces and the garden present the visitor with an allegory of life's journey. at one end, where prince eugene lived, i

i'm susan solomon, executive vice president of united educators of san francisco. today was a very disappointing day in bargaining, in fact an insulting day. everyday our members work hard inclusive practices, yes, we'll do that. multitiered systems of support, of course. safe and supportive schools, yes, we want that. ap classes for all. a to g classes, yes. cla, iwa, smarter balance, sometimes in two languages, we do it. common core standards we're there too. we're there for school safety, curriculum implementation for taking care of little kids and kids with special needs. they get kids on buses, address truancy. and for all that work and more that we do everyday, on what we were told was on your authority, we got an offer of a mere 2 percent raise for this year, 3 percent next year and 3 percent the year after that, with no reopeners, no help with rising family medical costs, 10 cents per hour for para longevity if they manage to stay for 15 years. and again, no reopeners so we can talk about it some more. this is so disrespectful for the work we do. imagine wh

i remember growing up -- my grandfather's name was solomon, and he always said you need to understand -- he is -- who is standing behind the curtain. you don't want to do business with the devil. and sometimes i think that in our nation now we may be doing business with the devil that aka the bank. so, if we look at our predatory system of lending, whether it's in housing or education, where do we move from that? and the reason i'm hearing the story about my grandfather -- sharing the story about my grandfather is that loops were not -- loans were not available for him. they purchased the land, got in the neighbors and the friends to build their home so they never had mortgages and as a result of that, we still have the land in our family and we're talking about the late 1800s. so we need to look at another paradigm, especially for the future, and i tell my daughters the same thing. you may want to look at not taking out a bank loan. and maybe looking at a different paradigm. so just kind of want to get your impression of that. >> thank you so much for sharing that story. i think you'

after i took over solomon, i took over 1991.k over, there was a plug item in the balance sheet. they had not been able to find -- they had not been able to reconcile since 1981. arthur andersen were our auditors. they explained to me, you will see this 180 million or whatever it is move around different amounts. but don't worry. some day we will figure it out. >> did that concern you? >> sure, it concerned me. it had gone -- one of the companies had been on cash basis and one on trade basis. it never got worked out. we had a situation many, many years ago. we just ran up the bank account and started all over again. >> so you're not concerned. you think brian moynihan is doing a good job? >> he has done a good job. he has had a lot of problems to deal with. he has simplified the bank, brought down the balance sheet. he brought it back to the fundamentals. it is a wonderful franchise. it will do well over time. i said you have a long period ahead of you when you work through this. we have a lot more to talk about. coming up, waiti

if you take solomon's views on free labor versus slave labor, you cannot explain why slavery in the southwest so immensely productive and profitable even though they using the lashed to drive the slaves on and on and on. that raises some interesting questions. >> the other part of your question was zionism that occurs and zionism to -- >> there is an article, i you thinking of that? which draws a parallel between the treatment of palestinians today and black slavery in the new world. the author again and again trying to draw a complete parallel and admitted there are very few reasons between the treatment of palestinians and treatment of black slaves and it doesn't stand up as all that convincing it seems to me. but then we have all kinds of evidence to compare human trafficking various sorts and oppression and racial slavery in the past and that is very controversial. >> prof. davis, six seven years ago in london you with a keynote speaker at a conference of historians sponsored by the templeton foundation on the subject of is their meaning in history? is their meaning in history? it was a c

this is solomon tweeting on the 23rd of april.ut the hash tag that you mentioned, "bring back our girls" was started when a former world bank official used it in a speech and, thus, a hashtag was born and went viral. you can see it spreading across the world here with the heat map. and it's also spread to some big bigfluencers. the first lady of the united states. >> we spoke to a spokesman for president goodluck jonathan. one of the original campaigners, he started the social media campaign. we asked them about this hashtag. this is what they had to say. >> i appreciate social media. it shows that, you know, there is a meeting of minds, that we are all human beings. we do not want human beings to suffer. if you look at what goes on social media, there is what i call the vigilante of the hashtag group. >> we have to sustain our protests, remain on the street to make sure this is done because we see our protests and the insistence of what is going on. we saw a sort of taking this issue to the back seat and the nigerian moving, on w

remember what solomon did? the cutting of the baby in half? he wouldn't agree to that.t me put it to you that way. "liberty and tyranny: a conservative manifesto" is a the sickly of primer on restatement of conservatism, in 2009 to fill the day, my conservative manifesto at the end and i call it that. "ameritopia: the unmaking of america" is probably the most important to me, the most difficult, it is political philosophy. to me it gets to the heart of the from of the left, the conflict with those who believe in liberty. the liberty -- "the liberty amendments: restoring the american republic" is crucial because i have callers to my show who say this is all great, what do we do about this? rather than give the usual phony superficial response, it is not good enough. maybe it is good enough for some but it is not good enough because we are on more from our constitutional system. we elective more republicans under george bush from 2001-2007, they control the congress and the presidency. what happened? more federal involvement in education, more federal involvement in healt

[ laughter ] >> i mean -- >> jimmy: i base my vacations around the language. [ laughter ] >> i know exactly what you mean. some of the spots like cusco are fairly, you know, tourist spots. the machu pichu trail and all of that. so some people speak english but looking for the more remote towns and then there is no english. >> how do you communicate? >> well, my friend speaks a bit of spanish. but i tend go down the sort of -- charade type mime scenario.

in europe, he bought a juan jersey and came up to me this morning, solomon did, and said, you know what, dad? ever since i bought that jersey, juan mata has been doing crazy scoring goals, like six goals in five games and before i had been very cold. i said, obviously, you are buying the jeers y. he said, dad, causation does not equal -- (laughter) >> it may be too lat late for m, but him. he's a 13. it's a happy day. >> charlie: what is the impact of this extraordinary onslaught of data that we have? it affects everything people do. they can have sensors. they can tell you exponentially more than i've ever known before. >> so my belief, i think our shared belief is every important problem in the history of mankind we've solved has been solved through technology and big data is potentially an opportunity to solve a lot of problems. although i have to say i'm a big data skeptic. so what you're describing is essentially different, but when i think about the big data out there in terms of companies and whatnot, i think it would be hard for anyone to find out what to do with it. people will

god commands a temple to be built but not by david, by his son, solomon. the ark of the covenant is there, raiders of the lost ark, the holy of holies, all that kind of stuff. on the temple mount in jerusalem. now cut to 587 be. c.. the babylonians conquer jerusalem, burn the telephone l to the ground and dispatch all of the jews to babb loan ya where i know you guys have heard the bob marley song, by the rivers of babylon there we sat down and wept when we remember zion. the jews rebuild the temple. the romans come to town, they burn the temple to the ground and expel all the jewish people out into the world. and by the way, both of these events happened on the 9th of the month of av. now, this when the romans expelled the jews, this was the start of the diaspora. all the while longing for home. it seemed to be a dream that would never be fulfilled. and because they were exiles and aliens, all the terrible things that happened -- persecutions, inquisition all leading up to the holocaust. so i know i'm -- i know this is long winded, but bear with me here.

or the head of the department of environmental protection sitting there, and i said, commissioner solomon, how long will it take to permit this plant? he said 60 days. we'd rehearsed, you see. [laughter] but it actually took 29 days. the reason it took 29 days was that the attitude of the agency was to help solve problems and anticipate problems, not find problems. it's the difference between how can we help and gotcha. now, we didn't waive any rules, we didn't bend any rules, we didn't, you know, avoid any environmental requirements, but it was a question of how do you -- what is your attitude, what is the attitude of the regulator toward the regulated community? .. and that is principle number five, abuse of the process, and inappropriate regulatory technique. the process itself should not be a regulatory technique. two problems and to solutions barack couple of solutions. problem number one, permitting is too costly in the process to link the. i don't have to give you examples. you know them. you have heard of them. you probably live them. how do we solve this problem, this quandary wh

hundred million call events per day joining me to discuss is author columnist and activist norman solomon norman thanks for joining me pleasure now this is a follow of from what we learned back in march about the n.s.a.'s mystic program what do you make of the news that the n.s.a. is actually recording the full conversations of citizens in other countries. well it's another mosaic in a large picture that shows just how committed the u.s. government is using the n.s.a. to collect everything including the actual content of phone conversations and what we now learn is being done in the bahamas in terms of all telephone traffic in and out of that country is really an important but frankly relatively small part of the global effort of the u.s. government with the n.s.a. is cutting edge technology to have a sort of a global big brother brought into existence and one other point there there's a myth that in the united states somehow we're just getting sort of metadata which is a grievous lee a violation of the fourth amendment in and of itself but in fact there's been a recording process for a v

suspicion is open to interpretation to discuss last night's interview i was joined earlier by norman solomon executive director of the institute for public accuracy the attorney bruce fein and also just one rate actor director of national security and human rights at the government accountability project i started out by asking norman what was the one thing that stood out to him in this interview. oh i think that edward snowden made very clear and underscored his independence he has the kind of integrity. is extraordinarily historic when it's combined with a willingness an opportunity to courageously speak out in this case against policies of his own government and i think his willingness to be measured in his criticism of the n.s.a. and yet not back down at all and also show that he's the pawn of no government and no idiology and he quite correctly criticize the russian and chinese governments as well for their intrusive policies in terms of surveillance and just what was your impression for me as a whistleblower attorney i was really get that america was able to hear more about his backgro

palestinians couldn't do anything under the temple mount because the ruins of the temples of david and solomon are there, and because of the excavation and other things. they disagreed only on 50 feet of the western wall. that's where i think israel was right. arafat wanted to give him the waling wall, and then there's the entrance to a tunnel where if you got in, you could do it mayhem to the ruins of the temples. >> they pretty much agreed on everything else. >> the temple mount problem. i never saw anything like this. they agreed on how it would operate, but the palestinians wanted to say they had sovereignty overall of it. i tried to convince them to split the sovereignty or turn it into an international peace. it was as shimon peres, it is the first political problem in history where there was no problem on what happens, but no one can figure out how to describe it. that's about it. barack said i'll take it and negotiates to fill in the blanks. arafat said i'll take it in theory, but i have reservations. in the end. >> this is in 2000. they were ready to give up -- to give up israeli land

remember what solomon did? yeah. the cutting of the baby in half?e wouldn't agree to that, would he? so it depends what you're looking for. let me put it to you that way. "liberty and tyranny" is basically a primer on a restatement of conservativism. which i felt in 2009 and feel today is sorely needed. and it provides a, my conservative manifesto at the end, and i call it that to mock marx and the communist manifesto. ameritopia, which is probably the most important to me, is most difficult. it is political philosophy, and and to me, it gets to the heart of the problem with the left. and the conflict with those who believe in liberty. and the liberty amendments, i think, is crucial because i have callers to my show and others who say, okay, mark, this is all great, now what do we do about this? what do we do about this? and rather than give the usual phony, superficial response, let's elect more republicans, that's not good enough. maybe that's good enough for some, but it's not good enough because we are unmoored from our constitutional system. we

it has been around the time since king solomon, who was the wisest of all kings.ever on the cross condemned the act of the death penalty as he hung on the cross with the two individuals. issue was it was the individual's responsibility to accept and acknowledge what they had done and done wrong. i do believe we should find a better way to put them to death, kind of like we do dogs, by ms to sizing them prior to administering whatever it is that is going to -- by ms the by anesthesizing them. the bible says do not kill. that is what these violent acts are, murdering. host: we will talk about this as a going to our 9:15 segment this morning. new figures from the department a look at theng economy. the unemployment rate falling to 6.3%. highlighting some other thisrs as well in a graph morning, saying 288,000 jobs thatadded but also adding 800,000 fewer total workers in this latest report. we will take a closer look at that 9:15 this morning. for the next couple of minutes, your views on the death penalty. president obama has called for a review of it. he made the an
