you can see the demographics and our test scores as well. the other elementary school is bessie carmichael, this has three general education tracks for 66 seats and one filipino bilingual track. total of 144 seats. and due to city policy, k-8 are city wide and not dedicated to attendance area. so all of bessie carmichael seats are up for grabs. in addition the current policy is for language emergent to be city-wide. two-thirds of webster is spanish emersion. we therefore have 22 seats available that are deeded to serve the residents of this massive attendance area. and we are looking at 144 children coming of age in this area. >> i will talk about the daniel webster community. we were slated for closure in 2005. but a group of scrappy parents and they had pre-school aged children. they had little ones, babies. they banned together with leaders of the community and able to keep daniel webster open. as you look at these pictures, you will see that testimonials from parents as well pictures of our kids. and i will emphasize that people started c

if you look at the state, if you look at the demographics it's the state that is changing.e country is changing. >> stephen: what do you mean changing? >> a more diverse state. it's becoming a lot more young people. we're going to go out and expand the electorate. get the new voters, register them, bring them into the process. the folks registered to vote and not turning out in texas we're going to build a grassroots campaign and turn it into a competitive battleground state. >> stephen: if you do that, that will upset the natural order of things. we know it's in the constitution that ohio and florida get to pick the next president. do you not believe in the constitution? >> in texas if you go there and talk to volunteers. i've seen theçó volunteers whetr it's in el paso driving up towards new mexico or calling down they want to focus on texas. we're going to bring the fight to texas and make the a battleground state so that anybody that wants to be the commander in chief, they have to fight for texas. >> stephen: what do you mean the demographic shifts are happening? that'

the last time we engaged with demographers i believe was three years ago. and we have seen that the projections that they developed at that time has been very accurate since then. but it's also as you know been a very dynamic period in terms of development and change within san francisco. so the projections we have had the benefit of the last three years, though they held up. they may be based on information that is increasingly going to become less accurate. to look at housing developments. to look at in-migration and out-migration patterns. it's good practice for the district to refresh that analysis. and had happens to come at a very important time for this discussion and the board's deliberation. >> you raised an interesting point, to inform this discussion. are you talking about the feeder patterns or the need or desire for another middle school? >> right, i think all of the above. one question what will be the demand for middle schools over time? we have from our last demographic study an expectation that in about three to four years we will start to s

what do you think the image that people have of what is generating that demographic growth? >> the image that i pick up from people telling me about it across the country is an image that the hispanics are largely an immigrant community, and that it's a relatively recent arrival, which in many parts of the country is true. in many of these states where the hispanic population is growing and growing rapidly, many latino community leaders there, business leaders, are coming together, hosting events in their states to talk about, "wow, look at the census numbers." the census numbers have shown that hispanics in state x, y, or z are growing, and it's a growing community around the state. there's also a growing business community and a growing community of people who are all working for the latino community in those states. so that's one reaction that i've had. another reaction that i have seen in terms of questions that i've received is, "why are they coming to this state? what is attracting them to this state? why are so many immigrants, particularly unauthorized immigrants part

for the under five demographic to the thirty five to forty four demographic the majority of texans are a race other than white as we know democrat. groups like blacks and hispanics are far more likely to vote democratic than republican so while texas is status as a republican stronghold may not be in danger in the near future if the republican party feels to drastically change its message texas may be in play for democrats in years to come and if republicans can't keep texas red it will likely be very hard for the party to remain competitive in future presidential elections. crazy alert looking for the next trend in organic food meat arthur boy mr boyd is a resident of cornwall england and an added consumer of road kill by. beryl it is interesting diet first started as a curiosity. and if you know me more with my wife. with a cat. i'm often asked how did this all begin. with nine hundred seventy six when i was living on my own i didn't have to. bother with anybody else's feelings in the matter the food was there to be brought home and eaten. i would pick up roadkill own in those days.

there is no cultural barrier to entry. >> the demographic of people who come will match the demographicf the reader. it is very simple. if we want more people of color, you book more people of color. you want more women, your book more women. kind of like that. it gets mixed up a little bit. in general, we kind of have a core group of people who come every month. their ages and very. we definitely have some folks who are straight. >> the loyal audience has allowed michelle to take more chances with the monthly lineup. established authors bring in an older audience. younker authors bring in their friends from the community who might be bringing in an older author. >> raider has provided a stage for more than 400 writers. it ranges from fiction to academics stories to academic stories this service the underground of queer fell, history, or culture. >> and there are so many different literary circles in san francisco. i have been programming this reading series for nine years. and i still have a huge list on my computer of people i need to carry into this. >> the supportive audience has al

given the demographics west of the jordan river, the only way for israel to endure and thrive as a jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable palestine. that is true. [applause] >> obama: just give the frustration in the international community about this conflict israel needs to reverse an under tow of isolation. >> michael: what today's speech an meetings can do for the peace process and israeli relations we turn to our own king david shuster in new york. david, did today's speech do anything to quiet any of president obama's critics on the left or even on the right? >> i think it will quiet the critics on the right particularly because the president changed u.s. policy when it came to israeli settlement. professionally the u.s. said there can be no peace talks until israel stopped building settlements on the occupied territoried. today the president lectured the israelis saying it's counterproductive and does not help the peace process but he said the talks continue any way. did he not tell the israelis that you must stop building the settlement

on the other hand, he tried to appeal, bret, to the israelis self-interest, with the demographic, you have to come to an agreement if you want to survive in the region. >> that's right, in theory, that's right. in 20, 25 years israel will face a demographic problem. in the here and now egypt is under the control of the muslim brotherhood. you don't know what's going to happen in syria or in lebanon. the future of jordan where the president also visited, it's very clouded, very unclear. you have to take your problems in the order in which they alive. the real problems, iran, chaos in the rest of the world, and the rest of the of the demographic it's rule, but-- >> and in the few years, israel and the palestinians? >> no chance, but it can be managed. >> paul: it can be managed so there's not an outbreak. and the president, i thought his rhetoric on iran was at least as forceful and i've ever heard him. basically saying, look, we're not going to let them get a bomb. it's containable, if it gets one. it seems to put him on the hook if iran doesn't react d diplomaticall diplomatically. >>

the demographics of the unemployed in this country. also, talking about the issue of cyprus and saying that it is a small island. yes, it is an issue, the issue is happening, even though they have affected financial markets here. certainly that is not an overall worry. i am cheryl in for liz claman for "countdown to the closing bell." thirty-two minutes left. let's get right to our floor show. we have traders standing by at the new york stock exchange and, of course, the nymex. i first want to get to mike down at the nymex. thank you so much for standing by. i want to ask you. all of the policies that we have had the last four years, in particular the effect on the u.s. dollar, somewhat of a dance for you all down at the nymex and how you trade well, how you treat natural-gas. anything that you heard on monetary policy today that kind of stuck at? >> you really didn't say anything that we really didn't know already. rate's going to be where they're going to be for a while, protecting the housing market. from a collapse. so as far -- we

the demographics in las vegas have changed dramatically. anics moving into the community. much more democratic registration. that is a reason i think president obama has carried nevada the last two elections as opposed to previously when george w. bush did. >> so do you see nevada in the future becoming more and more blue, going more and more blue with the explosion of hispanics and latinos that will be there? or do you think it's going to be a swing state and go back and forth? >> i think we're always going to be in play. i think that the indications are it will be a little more blue, but it's always going to be a state in play. and it depends on the candidates, the election. it's interesting, because a small state like ours has received a lot of attention in the last several elections because we are a swing state. >> hey, governor, i just want to get one in really quickly, it's something i'm curious about. you know harry reid pretty well. comes from your state. how much longer do you think he's going to stick around as the majority leader

it was obvious that was mostly because of the demographics of the crowd. if paul's beliefs were looked at, he would get torn apart. posted by the american conservative union. the 40th annual conference. they just held their straw poll. marco rubio came in second to rand paul, followed by rick santorum and new jersey governor chris christie. you can see more details. here's the "huffington post" story. we also heard from sarah palin, and political commentator ann coulter. all the c-span coverage you can find at our website, c-span.org. a caller on independence line. gradeependent's line .aller: ♪ caller: it was excellent. i enjoyed rick santorum. socialble to tie in the issues of abortion, illegal immigration, and traditional marriage with our fiscal situation. a lot of people don't see the connection between the two. there is, especially the illegal immigration. i enjoyed ted cruz, because he gave an overview of -- overview of everything. but we need to do right now especially is make sure that we follow our immigration laws, and we do not have immigration

the demographics of the districts in the house districts do not match the demographics nationally, theyre not evolving the way the rest of the country is. they are much older and much, much whiter. it's the republican primary, not the general election that determines who is going to represent them. all the messages, the people who represent the districts and go to washington were immune to what happened in november. it's not going to happen in their district. it's not going to happen anytime soon. the battle is playing out in hundreds of districts across the country, put that garbage out there and preserve yourself and insulate yourself from republican primary challenge. >> it's the kind of thing that makes you feel like republicans needing to talk face-to-face is not going to be the key to these dilemmas. steve, co-host of "the cycle" thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> the thing that makes me crazy and the president meeting with republicans in the house today and the senate tomorrow, oh, that will make everything better. no, it probably won't. really probably won't.

the choices of supreme court justices will describe the demographics of our nine justices. some are married, some have adopted children, some have no children. the defense remaining under the doma is the idea that a marriage between a man and woman is the only vehicle in which you can have procreation, the appropriate role to raise a child. that really is the strongest argument for those who still seek to retain doma. what i see in the post this week is a series of articles designed to strike down the idea that procreation is the only thing worth saving. we have the family choice of nine supreme court justices. we have a hold of the views of the citizens on same-sex marriage that 81% of those surveyed are in favor of allowing same-sex marriage. profile of the same-sex couples at the center of a lawsuit. another profile of a significant republican congressman who came out and said, i am in favor of gay rights with a child in college. today, nfl veterans. i am thinking, the national football league has to be brought in to justify same-sex marriage? we have just about lined up

when measure itch mcconnell is about the demographics of the country, he's correct.to reform these programs in order for them to stay. any time the republicans talk about reform and the president responds in the context of this is gutting the programs, i don't think that that creates an environment where you can have a common sense debate on these issues. >> i agree with you on that. when the president came back and whipped back at you guys and said i'm not going to gut these programs, like saying i'm not going to touch them. steve schmidt, i noticed -- you're in the higher economic brackets. i noticed that new sensitivity to the 39% i hadn't seen from you before. thank you very much, robert gibbs. >>> right now we know the answer to one of the biggest mysteries of the 2012 election. it was the bartender. that's who did it. who recorded mitt romney's infamous 47% comments. he did it. the working people. they got some power, too. you know, he's going to be ed schultz's guest tonight. ed's going to join us in a couple minutes to tell us what he's up to tonight with thi

he had done the demographic data and research to show why this policy was appropriate and why america had not yet evolved on open service by homosexuals. i think public opinion reflects on part the change of that perspective. this young regeneration has grown up with the idea that this is not a matter of choice. this is not about any of that. this is about allowing people to be who they are. what we have seen is public opinion both drives that shift and follows the shift to provide greater evidence that we can change the policy. we have not had any change in the legal regime, frankly. if you look at the civil rights act, it still does not provide sexual orientation. it is the pace of change that struck me as significant. >> yes? >> [inaudible] [inaudible] [inaudible] movie such as "zero dark thirty" [indiscernible] what i am wondering is how the military [indiscernible] >> ok, so the issue here is, what is the uniform military role in response to those conditions that ultimately enhanced interrogations' techniques, water boarding, whatever you want to call it. one of the reasons i am

certainly we know that the demographics are clear. the baby boomers have arrived and will continue to arrive. and so we have to look, how do we make social security fiscally sound and there for people as we go forward. that has nothing to do with giving -- doing something there that might yield the sources that will be used to continue subsidizing tax expenditures to special interests in our country. two different tables. tax reform table over here. social security table here. on medicare, we already instituted some reforms in the affordable care act and i'm pleased to note -- i don't have it here -- but the rate of growth of medicare is down to .4%. that is the low end of the rate of growth and that was our goal in the affordable care act to decrease the rate of growth in health care costs. medicaid -- the cost of medicaid did not grow. the affordable care act in that regard is working. and there are more bills, studies from the institute of medicine that will talk about how we get more value and less volume in terms of the quality of

the demographic you're going to have here is the same people 40 years ago that didn't want it today. i've been here 90 for 5 generations. we need this opportunity to take the 34 housing units to keep people here. we're not going to have many opportunities. we need to pickup whatever we can pickup and something that's identical to what's there. you're looking for something that's capable with the neighborhood. my in-laws grew up on crestmont. there's nothing that the new development and the old development doesn't have. please approve this development. and hi i'm a real estate economist based on here in san francisco. i was hired to perform a financial analysis on the eir alternative. specifically looking at the 16 dwelling unit alternative. our findings are that this is not financial feasible. as it's been talked about there extensive site construction we need to stabilize the hill and the parking lot and other improvements that are needed in order to make this development happen. next there's a long term carrying costs on the land. in summary of our analysis shows the total developm

. >> we're going to overall our campaign mechanic structure to fully integrate the demographic engagement strategy. this new approach will be diverse, year-round, community-based and dedicated to person-to-person engagement. we'll conduct a pilot program and targeted urban markets to tested and re-- to test and refine the engagement efforts. [laughter] >> jon: the local natives seem to be feeling more comfortable with my presence. holy (bleep). let me brake this strategy down, if i may. after pretending -- settle down. settle down it's a pun. let me break this strategy down. after pretending minorities didn't exist the republican party has decided to physically go into the areas and engage person-to-person or as that is known on the streets, talking. [ laughter ] but of course as the saying goes, talk is not cheap. >> we're going to be announcing a $10 million initiative just this year in which it will include hundreds of people, paid, across the country from coast to coast, in hispanic, african-american, asian communities talking about our party. [laughter] >> jon: we were just going to

we were catering inform a smato more narrow part of the demographic. on made it through the primaries and stuck to a middle of the road belief to be stronger on defense and more fiscally responsible and better on crime, and the country gave democrats a little more political credibility. a good republican candidate can change this for the republican party, but they have to let him get through the primary and compete in a general election. >> obviously, we're talking on a very consequential day with the supreme court today and tomorrow, and people making the argument we could have a nominee in the republican party who supports gay marriage. can someone who holds those kinds of positions get through the primary process? to jamal's point. >> yes. in 2012, the answer probably would have been no. but in 2016 based on the lessons we've learned in 2012, i think that possibly could happen. i point to the comments that rand priebus said, even though the republican party is for traditional marriage, that doesn't mean our candidates can't have differing views. when

. >> president obama: given the demographics west of the jordan river, the only way for israel to endure and thrive as a jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable palestine. >> reporter: but a number don't trust that solution. >> that's not the solution. if it were that way, it will be the prelude for a new area. >> president obama: israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counter-productive to the cause of peace. and that an independent palestine must be viable. >> reporter: obama called the palestinian authority and mahmoud abbas partners for peace. this man says abbas sends a different message to his people. >> the palestinian authority glorifies terrorists, honors them, and names summer camps after them and soccer tournaments after them. the message to the people, if you killed israelis, you're a hero. >> reporter: the iran issue, though, may overshadow any change between israelis and palestinians. iran's supreme leader said iran would destroy haifa and tel aviv if israel attacked their nuclear program. chris mitchell, cb

tide was turning against the white minority so they just stopped having elections to avert demographic so this is a sense that people feel entitled to change the political process to stop mainly minorities from gaining political power. so it's sort of an ironic use of phrase. >> congressman, is it still necessary to have a voting rights act? >> clearly, congress voted for it overwhelmingly. the question is whether it's constitutional and necessary. i can talk about the example in idaho. idaho has one statewide elected official that is hispanic. i am one of two congressmen in idaho that's hispanic. it's a majority white state. about 90% white. and they have no problem voting for racial minorities to represent them. i think we need to start rethinking all these things. in fact, i welcome all minorities to move to idaho and to states that are willing to vote statewide for minorities. >> how far have we come, tom? >> well, a long way but the journey is not complete yet. and i feel strongly that in this country we need to expand voting rights, not restrict them in some fashion. i would even

and we did not because we think it would be improper to base any decision on wage setting on the demographics and the classification. we did a straight -- we looked at large -- mostly larger classifications because we were looking to find savings to fund the wage increase seiu was proposed and produce more savings for it and there were 12 job families and not all of which i will note -- in fact i think about -- most -- we looked at those above market; right. and not all of the classifications were the classifications that received pay equity adjustments so it's not correct to say that pay equity is under attack. specifically we're using the criteria in the market that we're obligated to do under the charter and the union agreed to in negotiations, so that's a challenge that we have. seiu has raised as you know, i have a copy of the contract language. can you put that up? >> sorry just before to finish up. i just want to say that the topic of the hearing i completely agree and want to thank supervisor avalos for calling it and i fully support obviously pay equity and comparable worth. the line

it is the demographics of east jerusalem change, it becomes more difficult for this to become the future capital of a palestinian state. >> thousands of demonstrators have converged at the u.s. supreme court which has begun to hear arguments about demerits. whether california's ban on the unions is constitutional. -- hear arguments about a gay marriage. first up is whether california's ban on gay unions is it constitutional. >> many of those thousands of people here on the steps of the supreme court on tuesday have waited for decades and decades to have their day in court. two cases have come along at once and they wanted to be here to witness history in the making. a kiss to mark the start of today's of -- today is the argument on marriage at the supreme court. hunter says he has been campaigning in favor of gay marriage since the age of 14. >> there are no good arguments that stand up to a logical debate against same-sex marriage that do not have religious origins. >> she came all the way from boston with a picture out for family. >> they all deserve the right to marry in make a family

we have a tried-and-true way to deal with the demographic time bomb. demography does not have to be destiny if you change course in the path we could take is to allow for a strategic reform of our immigration laws so we can bring young aspirational people that will rebuild the demographic. need to make her entitlement system secure and jumpstart our economy in a way that will create the nut lifting of our hopes and dreams, but directly impact economic growth. no country can do it like america. our national identity is based on shared values and i'm so pleased the reagan library and the secretary's focus on civic education to remind us that the shared values that were donated or not, they are essentially our success. this is not an identifier, it is focused on a set of values. it sets us apart from the rest of the world. if the immigrant heritage that's created by dynamism and more innovation than any other country on the face of the earth at a time we desperately need to reengage and grow and be optimistic and prosperous seems to me we cannot put aside
