to issue the statement that hoover wanted him to. nevertheless, the one person that roosevelt did meet with during the transition from the hoover administration was henry stimson who was hoover's secretary of state. who was another new yorker, henry stimson lived on the north shore of long island, but he, like fdr, came from an old new york family, so they probably had a lot of concentric circles in the roosevelt/stimson orbit. but roosevelt actually asked stimson who was secretary of state to come here to his house in hyde park where they had a long meeting, with they discussed -- where they discussed, of course, by that time the japanese were on the march in manchuria, and also there was a pending meeting on, um, the world economic conference in london which stimson would have, would have attended if hoover had been reelected. but roosevelt wanted his views on things. so the one aspect of bipartisanship and cooperation and all that during transition as we now call it that fdr welcomed was on, in foreign affakr&9ñ um, i make the poin

. >> and then on july 16th at the hoover, historical hoover theater in the rose garden area, right acrossthe egyptian museum. then on the 17th, we're going to be doing a private house concert in gilroy, and i'm going to be making a piea, so it's going to be really fun. >> logon for more information. thank you so much for the work you do to promote flamenco. >> thank you for having us. >> coming up next on "comunidad del valle," the east side community district going solar. >>> the largest k-12 solar school project in the country is right here in east san jose. with me is frank veal, vice president of the board of trustees of the east side union heights division. welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> let's show the viewers what we're talking about. well, tell us basically what you're doing at east side. >> well, at east side, we've basically had the opportunity to take capital dollars and invest them to provide operating funds for our schools. >> and that means what for the carbon footprint and what for retaining teachers? >> well, for retaining teachers, we think this will save between 25

and the relationship that he had with hoover what was the problem? i think hoover saw the oss invading his territory. and he had carved out -- when you read doug's excellent book, you usually are appalled how far hoover went to destroy one. i how much the american people reads it because i think it's a very important lesson in democratic see. >> hver thought donovan's over assessment of amateurs and in the beginning it was a collection of amateurs. hoover spied on donovan's oss reporting to him. dawn man spied on hoover's fbi. he had moles in hoover's fbi portg to him. i wonder when they had time spying on others when they were spying on each other. >> donovan was appointed as -- >> he was. >> charlie: how old was donovan when he died. >> 76. he died very tragically too. in fact ambassador was at his side when he died. he side of arteriosclerotic atrophy of the brain. it's a very severe form of dimension and the brain shrinks in size. severe form of alzheimer's. he was at walter reed army medical ceer for the last 18 months of his life. in his lucid

. >> the economy was put in the deepest recession that we've had since the deep depression of the hoover administration. >> schieffer: you're both reasonable men. you like one another. >> we do. >> schieffer: you personally are friends. tell me something. that the congress could agree on that would make this situation better. where would you start? >> let me say that where i would start is with bowles-simpson. >> schieffer: what? >> the bowels-simpson. >> schieffer: the deficit commission that the president appointed. >> the reason i say we ought to start with that is because we had a process. i wanted to see a statutory commission appointed that would have had real teeth. unfortunately, we couldn't get the votes in the senate. largely, republicans wouldn't get us give us the votes to get the bill on the floor. the president put in place a commission. that commission was bipartisan. paul served on that commission. they did some very substantive work. not only did they do substantive work, but you saw three republican members of congress and three democratic members of congress support it

most chinese speaking families prefer hoover whether or not they have a car. most families that live in thefurthest is a cutaway from hoover preferred choice. most families that live over a 20 minute drive want a bus. very few of the families that live in the dakota have cars. 95 percent of those want a bus. that is regardless of language, program, and preference for hoover or toys. to make this work, we need support for transportation. a question for you is, and of the community is not alone. a question to you is, that is going to cost a significant amount of money. i want to know what you have in place to evaluate the cost of what needs to be put into place before as these folks have said. before you put into place and pass this proposal. i want to encourage you to go back to the language you adopted in march before the proposals were added on. i also want to encourage you to think about building middle schools in the region. have 17% of all middle school students and we need a middle school in that neighborhood. a good one. monroe is bursting at the seams. we want a k-h monroe in our nei

in terms of monroe and some of the families not wanting to go to hoover, i think that is one of the features to going first with a choice that is going to increase transparency and provide an opportunity for greater accountability with the district as well. until now, your customers are basically anyone who this view was a choice. we will be able to anticipate -- anyone who listens to you as a choice. we will be able to anticipate, follow up with parents, get a deeper understanding, and it provides an infrastructure that is going to make it a lot easier to have a deeper understanding of why schools are more appealing are less appealing, and because of this choice, they will not have to list it as a choice, and we will be able to see what they are telling us about a parent's desire and how our system is working. >> is it possible that the 622 applicants in the middle school is actually 662, because you said there were 622 carrier -- there were 622. is that the arch will number -- the actual number? that means every applicant got a school they requested. that means it is working. good >> what

it's written by senior fellow at the hoover institute. it goes on to say in today's world it's harder to turn off the lights and keep tales of repreparation behind closed doors, but the assads know to other way. massacre is a family tradition. finally, take a look at gulf news in the united arab emirates. it says there's a great debate going on as to whether intervention in syria on the lines of nato's action in libya say viable option. one issue many views you can read all those articles in full at facebook.com/w1cnn. >>> the edge of the financial abyss again. in just a few hours, european ministers are going to be meeting in an emergency to work out whether to organize a second bailout for athens. that's in just over a year. the eu is responding to a crisis the markets have been signaling for months. that's the likelihood that greece will fail to cut its deficit by as much as a promised and won't be able to repay lenders what it owes them. standard and poors highlighted it. another round of funding for greece could be even tougher this t

a vietnam war hero had become hoover's worst nightmare. >> he was clearly the target of this area. the person who had to be put behind bars for the black panther party to be stopped. and consequently they said, well, if you didn't do that who cares. we think he belongs in jail anyway. >> reporter: internal fbi reports called for him to be neutralized as a panther leader. >> it might get someone fired, screw up their marriage if they are married, play havoc with, you know, the landlord or whatever, or having someone framed and put in jail or assassinated. >> reporter: and when pratt and other members were arrested this letter shows he had nothing to do with it. [ music ] >> still to come on "second look" chris harris continues his look at the pratt case and the charges there a miscarriage of justice. plus we will take you to his joyous bay area homecoming after his release in 1997. >> follow sick sick "second look" on facebook and twitter. [ ding! ] [ boy ] lookin' good mr. g. thanks, bro-seph. are you video chatting? with my boyfriend? yeah! hey, tessa! mom! [ mocking tone ] mom. [

he also became the scapegoat for a nasty rivalry inside the belt way between hoover's fbi and the justice department. in between influence peddlers inside washington and washington insider to want to protect their own rear end. now, i don't think any of this sound relevant to today, do you? [laughter] but before we get i would also tell you, it's also a love story involving john service and his loyal wife, and a beautiful chinese actress with whom he had a brief affair during the war. and during the 50s when he became mccarthy's first victim, a nationalist secret police and their intelligence agencies spread false stories inside the corridors of power inside washington that he had fathered an illegitimate child by his soviet spy lover during the work and even though at that time the soviets were our allies. so i'm going to go ahead and ask you to go to the slides and a, and we will see where it all began, which is -- his parents started the ymca in far southwest china, and that's where he was born and raised i is ymca missionary parents. and this is how you got to do it was three months o

and the hoover institution with national security contributor frances townsend, currently a member of department of homeland security and cia external advisory committee. >> the fact that iran is aiding the regime of assad, not really a surprise but confirmation of the nature of this regime? >> this is it. this is the radical access in the region. it is iran. it has this access. it's damascus. it's hezbollah in lebanon and hamas. this is the gang. >> and what do we know about the type of iran's influence within syria? >> well, it is gone on for decades. there's a close personal relationship between bashar assad and ahmadinejad been but the two countries, iran has been shipping weapons to syria supporting hezbollah for decades and threatening israel. this is no surprise. this is the patron to whom syria looks to when they need this kind of support and obviously they're getting it. >> and for a regime that claims they're just going after armed thugs, i mean, iran, the lesson from iran is, they go after their own people. they go after peaceful protesters, clearly, syria is doing the same

now, ann marie slaughter, professor at princeton, also professor fouad ajami, a senior fellow at the hoover. fouad, you see what happened to that little boy and to see his father, if that is in fact his father, appearing on state television, given what has happened in the past, the idea that he was coerced is not far-fetched. >> well, look, anderson, assad has crossed the rube con. you have unicef talking about the abuse of children, the killing and murder of children has been part and parcel of the practise of this regime. are these -- is this the father and the uncle of this poor boy? we don't know. and if they are there, we know why they're there. they are terrified and they have other things to worry about. they have other members of the family to worry about. so i think the mask has fallen and we can see what this man is all about. the dream that he was a reformer, the ideal that he will change, the ideal he will break with his father. i think the syrian people are beginning to in a way think about a future beyond assad. to think about a new syria. and that's what this is about. >> ann

all this this evening with a professor of the john hopkins school of international studies and the hoover institution as well as a syrian human rights activist. >> how important do you think this is that this report now that the obama administration is possibly looking to referring charges to the international criminal court? >> well, finally, if you will. this is a moment of reckoning for the obama administration. you'll remember even 2 1/2 years ago when president obama came to office, he had the promise of engaging the regimes both in tehran and damascus. even as late as may 19, just about three, four weeks ago, president obama was still holding open the possibility for bashar that he could either lead syria to a reform or get out of the way. so now the decision to refer him to the international criminal court is the right decision. it's a little too late for the obama administration, but better late than never. >> you're actually in the hague right now. and you've submitted to the icc evidence of crimes against humanity by the assad regime. what kind of crimes? >> well, the syrian reg

so we would, under the new proposal of the feeders, have transportation for the presidio, francisco, and another, and hooverwould have two bosses, and the number is really important though, the weber, to say that the number of buses would be constrained by the budget, and it is not clear what the demand would be, so it is full choice from 2011 to 2016, so while we are hoping that through the tie breaker of the middle school feeders with improvement we can do and that we will 3 choice create these feeder patterns, but that is unclear, and it is also, given the fact that children attend all of the city and live all over the city, some of the feeders, it even though they live far away, some of the students may be closer to their middle schools, so these are the factors that make it difficult for us to know how many buses we will need. we are assuming there will not be an increase in resources because we are not imagining that we are going to guarantee that we will put on as many buses as we need in order to make sure 100% -- we just know that would be a false promise, that we do not have those kinds of resourc

the top ten was the idea of j. edgar hoover, who liked the attention generated by his newspaper story about the top toughest guys the fbi were trying to catch. the current list includes four fugitives wanted for murder, one for a financial scam and victor gerena, wanted for taking $7 million from a security company. 60 years ago, posters went up in post offices. now, it's on the web and on social networks, facebook and twitter. top tenners are also rotated among the ads on digital billboards from times square to busy highways nationwide. that bulger tv ad was born of the same idea. >> we knew a lot about the girlfriend. we knew about what she looked like. we knew some of her interests. we thought perhaps if we targeted a certain audience and tried to get this information out to the right people, perhaps someone my have seen her. >> reporter: who gets the fbi's attention has also changed. the top ten list was once bank robbers and kidnappers. now, it includes international criminals and terrorists. osama bin laden was on the lis

it is a libertarian economist to works out of the hoover institution a stanford. publishing the basics for almost 40 years. a lot of books on economic history, social issues, politics. what we are doing this fall is a reader which we hope will be a one volume introduction to the really remarkable array of subject areas he has written about so that people who have not wanted to indulge in the 600 bases pages of economics can have this turnkey to get into the remarkable array of subjects he has covered in his career. it is going to be a career encompassing volume and a good way to introduce your way. >> will he be going on to work for is but? >> he is at the point where he doesn't do a lot of touring, but he does do some interviews. we will try and do is get some key interviews. >> another book coming out, the interrogator. >> of former cia operative who went to the so-called black sight. i'm really not at liberty to say exactly where it was, but he was one of the people that interrogated one of the highest value targets that we had captured. he participated in the i

shulls from the hoover institution, and the marion robert raymond professor of economics at stanfordniversity. he also taught economics at princeton, yale, and columbia university. dr. taylor has received the bradley prize for his intellectual achievements and the alexander hamilton award for his overall leadership in international finance at the u.s. treasury. dr. taylor is a renowned expert on monetary policy and the creator of the taylor rule for determining what the target rate of federal funds should be for price stability. he served ads the undersecretary of the treasury for international affairs during the first term of president george w. bush. previously he served as a member of the president's council of economic advisors during the george h.w. bush administration. he's also served on congressional budget offices, economic advisory panel. dr. taylor has a long list of publications to his name and a recent book entitled "getting off track: how government actions and interventions cause prolonged and worsened the financial crisis." he's a frequent contributor to the editorial

we of course beings have have been shifting trouble some said from the financial crisis on hoover to nod towards the end center of bangs and the general taxpayer of the e.c.b. he has bought or already more than one hundred billion euros of off assets from banks of. covered bonds from german banks but also the government on support of these alone bombs and i don't think that bailing out banks that's really the best solution because of it creates a moral hazard problem which has brought us to a large extent for in the financial crisis in the first place that people thought a banker sort they would be better of if they would have probably a lot of government but still it was let me jump in here so you're saying don't bail out banks what would happen then if the banks one bailed out how would just affect the euro zone it was a golf course pro probably the financial system would to. woods who would collapse at least the banks that i own bed share shape and then there might be better ways to put them on a stable ground again of course shareholders would lose everything and let me jump in ra

what he was talking about was cutting public spending, balancing the budget, privatization, deregulation. i mean, his statements, herbert hoover and his secretary of the treasury andrew mellon, could have been -- well, they could have been the speech writers for the republicans last night. >> look, i agree. much of what they're talking about sounds like hoover. as a factual matter, one of president hoover's speeches is in your volume of great american speeches? this is news to me. >> well, great in the sense of influential. >> all right. okay. i just wanted to make sure this -- >> i do think for the historical record i think it's worth pointing out in 1932 in pittsburgh franklin roosevelt gave a famous speech calling for cutting spending and balanced budgets. herbert hoover wasn't alone in that. but -- >> david, you're absolutely right. and i -- but i think that the important thing is we learned a lot. i assume we learned a lot during the 19 30z, '40s, '50s. i mean, even richard nixon said we're all keynesians now. and to go back to the 1920s, pre all of that learning, is absolutely -- i mean, it's just extraordinary. >> look,

hoofer did not solve the depression hooverism did not work. they are embracing what he did to the economy. >> one of the consensus issues is deregulation and who made the persuasive calls, the institute which was bill clinton's think take of choice and called for rolling back regulations and i think when you look at romney and the other republican candidates they talk about it in similar ways. >> i don't want to prevent you from hopping in here. defend as necessary to restructure the economy that was failing. >> taking that position, the repeal position, is an absolutely essential thing for republicans to do when you're the out party and economy is down and other party controls the white house and you can blame every single thing they did and say it was health care reform, regulation of wall street. what republicans can do in 2012 and advantage they have and why this isn't a level playing field, it's the reality of politics, they can point to anything that's happened and anything democrats have tried to do and they can say this is holding back

our witnesses are charles blahous, a research fellow at the hoover institution and the former deputy director of the economic council. and robert reischauer, president of the urban institute and director of the budget office. mr. blahous, you are recognized for five minutes. >> it is a great honor to appear before you today to discuss the findings of the 2011 medicare report.' i will present the primary findings of the report. the other important issues such as the reason for changes in the changes will be discussed. medicare has to debby a trust funds. there is the locally known as part a, and then there is a physician services, outpatient hospital, home patient services, part b, and then there is the prescription drugs or part d. there is always interest in the solvency of the fund. it is important to remember that this is just one component of overall medicare financing. on my side, the general revenue contributions come up premiums, these factors are reestablished to manage costs on that side of the program. when there are financial strains on the smi side, they are managed in a

president obama is the guy who will likely take the hit it hard nation defaults he'll become the next herbert hoover and democrats might be banished from politics for a generation of that happens and that's the exact endgame the republicans are trying for with their scorched earth strategy they'll do anything to win back the white house even if it means another great depression for the rest of us that's why republicans are playing hardball this case but what the republicans don't realize and i'm not even sure the president realizes this is that while republicans may have the armed with machetes in this budgetary knife fight president obama has a chainsaw and that chainsaw is a power that the office of management and budget has given to treasury secretary tim geithner back in one nine hundred eighty five there was a debate going down just like today over raising the debt ceiling and one senator from oregon bob packwood had a question so we wrote a letter to the government accountability office basically asking how and in what order our debt obligations would be paid off if congress failed to raise th

the show is back on. >> thank you >> jon: you want to do it again? >> i don't want to shake. i just want us to hoover jon: do the hover shake. first episode was so good. >> thank you. jon and your acting now is getting good. >> you were describing it. i thought you were saying, "you're acting now," which is the way it feels. it feels goofy. >> jon: you and i have worked together for so many years. and we all sucked. they always wanted to make us acteddors and we all sucked at it. and all of a sudden you became good. wait. what about taking the rest of us with you. >> i have more practice, that's allment i've just done it for longer. i still suck pretty bad, though. >> jon: stop it. first episode, the woman who played your sister. >> are rusty schwimmer. >> jon: so good. >> she's great. january jon can we say first episode what... >> it's all about a big fart. the whole first episode is about a fart. and... >> jon: how long is the fart? >> i think it was 42 seconds long or something like that. [laughter] one-tenth of an episode is a fart. more than one-tenth. 20% of the episode is a fart. >> jon: i do

the tide of war is receding. fewer of our sons and daughters are serving in harm's way. >> hoover's institution says the united states risks being perceived as pulling out under fire. >> the taliban will take advantage of this, of course. for political reasons and within their own country, but it is to show they are the victors and the americans are being chased out. that's an unfortunate perception. >> and the president will continue to make his kay for the withdraw plan. it is going to an army base where troops are frequently sent to afghanistan. while there is relief that the troops will soon begin leaving afghanistan, there is also concern. some are afraid that once the american fighters start leaving, those left behind could be left more vulnerable. abc7's lisa amin is live with that story. lisa? >> dan, those in the military and their families listen intently to the president's speech today. and while it is welcome news that troops will come home, there is worry about the ramifications. >> is a the -- as the president spoke, moms listened. >> we are starting this draw down. >> there was silence as the commander
