there's enormous resistance at the state level. my friend tom woods has written a book called nullification which goes back to the jefferson, madison arguments. on gun laws, a lot of states are saying we will not enforce federal indivisible say we have to violate the rights of our citizens. states rights got a bad name, but now it is on the rights of states as against t deral mandates. federal unfunded mandates and a lot more governors, democrats, republicans, and others are saying look, they are imposing too much on the states and the states aught to fight back. >> are you in that category? >> i am very much in that category. >> it's politically inspired. there's an election in november and i think the right, the republicans have found that there's political reward in pushing this. but i would point out that georgia, texas, louisiana, and south carolina have all stepped up to the bar to get their stimulous funds after a lot of talk that they would not receive it and on the mandate, there is a mandate currently in effect in massachu

of course, the code never comes out early from the state. it always comes out exactly on time or blight, as it was this year. with that preface, we have with us the chair of the code advisory committee. he will say one or two things about it. we are pleased that this year is a consensus document that has undergone tremendous review. our basic premise in the code cycle was to bring forward previous amendments with as few modifications as necessary just to implement some of the code and changes that were made at the state level. the most significant issue related to the code this year have to do with the state's adoption of two new codes. one is called calgreen, the green building code, and the residential code. our biggest challenge -- carrying forward old amendments and finding places is a housekeeping matter. it takes time and effort, committees have to reach amendments and make sure that they go to the appropriate place. but the big thing is figuring out how to integrate them into san francisco's code. i want to talk about these changes, th

with the state authorities in the russian federation we are. very close collaboration on many issues without i repeat it was out interfering into each other's affairs. for example such issues as the demographic crisis it is impossible to deal with it. exclusively from the core political point of view or exclusively from the religious point of view here we have to join our forces and say this and many other similar areas are precisely those where the church and the state can and should collaborate . to larry and we will continue our interview with the head of the external relations department of the russian orthodox jewish culture a short break so stay with us. in the piece suit brighton if you move beyond sound from phones to impressions. dot com. you can see. what about a spotlight i were on just a reminder that today our guest is metropolitan hilarion the chairman of the external relations department in the russian orthodox church your eminence you have told us. quite a lot of interesting things about the relations of the states with the cher

and the those two countries well i think that the united states is sort of stuck it looked at afghanistan and all of the surrounding former southern republics of the soviet union as a great pyre great piece of pie a piece of real estate that they could take and make military bases and turkmenistan kurdistan was back to stand afghanistan in other words it would be an american sphere of influence and everybody would have to go along with the new power of the united states in this region but it turned out to be a fantasy because through military occupation instead of dominating the people the united states by its mere presence with foreign occupation troops has become a catalyst and igniter of armed insurgency against the united states that can only end when the united states leaves and lets the people of these countries in this region be free to determine their own destiny free from foreign occupation thank you very much sir thank you. the law such. a. law. that every month we give you the future we help you understand how to get there and what to bring to the best in science an

how do we compare to the state? how does the san francisco unified school district scores compared to the state? at every level we match or exceed the state level in english language arts and math. how do we compare to other urban districts in the state of california? we are higher than the other urban districts, though san diego has matched us in english language arts. in math we are still definitely the highest as compared to the state. so as we feel the pride over these results, we must also always remember that when looking at our african-american students as compared to other urban districts districts of -- urban zrinths, we have the lowest performance, and we should be mindful of that trend. >> the state closed the achievement gap with regards to its latino students but did not do so with regards to its african-american students. in math the state did manage to close the gap -- narrow the gap i should say -- with both the african frown and latino students, just like us. and the last slide, we have been brainsto

our big story at 4:00 the state budget crisis governor schwarzenegger's speaking out on the issue saying he will not back down against the man who raised taxes to solve the state's $20 billion budget deficit. today he told business leaders in spite of this being his last time in office he will keep fighting tax hikes and instead will push forward with reforms that the expertanswer. >> let's push this whole problem on the to the next governor. i have shows the opposite of that i promise the people in 2003 that i will bring some sort of order into the budget system. i think everyone has to make sacrifices. >> earlier this week the democrats proposed a plan to close the state's budget gap a plan that the governor calls dead on arrival. >> state democrats the budget plan as one that not only close as the state's multibillion- dollar budget deficit but protect jobs, prevent layoffs and spur the state's economic recovery. the plan calls for a billion dollars in spending cuts including to public education. it also calls for tax increases. the vehicle license fno carrierringconnect 2400  very u

the city and state determined that the facility was seismically deficient. it was under former mayor brown who hired and placed his trust in our executive director, to lead transbay effort. she created and has led this transbay joint powers authority to design, build, and operate a facility which we stand today on the ground to break. a key milestone to bring us to this day was a transfer by the state of 12 acres of land to the tjpa and the city to help fund the new transit center. this agreement, signed during the brown administration and campaign at the state level by former senate president john burton -- [applause] that agreement provides one of the largest funding contributions to this project and allows for the creation of new neighborhoods with hundreds of affordable housing units. today, during the tenure of our mayor, gavin newsom, he has been an enthusiastic and effective advocate of the project since he was a supervisor representing district two. we finally break ground today. this project would not have been possible without the numerous contribu

we know when the polls close in this great state of florida on november 2, i will be the next senatorrom this state. [applause] thank you. [chanting] i want you to know that my campaign is based on the struggle of floridians. my campaign is based on making sure that children have someone who will fight for them. [applause] i think what would help the release make a decision in this election is the fact that i had a real florida story. i grew up here in florida. my mother was born in florida and my children were born here in florida. i grew up in the public-school system. i was diagnosed with dyslexia in the third grade. i kept piling on. that is where i come from. i attended florida university. i became a state trooper. i changed car tires in this state. i did the things i had to do to understand the needs of people i served as a skycap and at the airport. i was a service worker in this state but i went on to serve this state in the state legislature and congress. some call it career politician, i call a public service. i think it means something.

it resonates with people across the state of florida. if you are an independent and you just try to do what you believe is right in your heart for the people of your state, whether they be teachers are the children or their future, that is something that really hit a nerve with people. i think that is what started and is continuing here in florida. tavis: president obama happens to be in miami today where you are tonight. i will call it the hon. did you ever imagine that an embrace would come back to haunt you the way it did? >> not in a million years. i will tell you why. the way i was raised with my three sisters and my family was to respect others. to have that kind of mutual respect everybody deserves. let alone the president of the united states of america. when the hug occurred, it is in the president came to fort myers about not long after he had been sworn in, maybe a month that the most. when he came there, he is coming there to talk about the economic recovery act. it was the first time he had come to florida after becoming pres

if you look at the way the money is actually allocated, one state, the great state of new york, the empire state, gets over $12.-- gets over 12.5% or 13% of the funds. if you exclude california, new york gets more money than every state west of the mississippi and as has been pointed butt out by mr. buyer of indiana, new york has a medicare re-- medicaid reimbursement rate at 350% of poverty, pushing about $800 for a family of four. this is money we don't have being spent on programs that are not in dire emergency at a time when the unemployment rate is 10%. please vote no on this bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. waxman: this is assistance to the state for medicaid. no state has 300% of poverty for medicaid. that's not the way the state runs it. we're talking about the poorest of the poor. to get med assistance. there may be additional people who can get it for children under the chip program, but not under medicaid. the state can't afford medicaid and we're going to help them by directing federal dollars so that those very poor people can get

right of the state. but, of course, i think that would be generally viewed as violating the federal constitution, and the federal constitution trumps the states in a n that regard. you can't have states, 50 states taking drastically different positions that violate the rights of individuals. so i think the states' right argument is appealing in many ways, but it has its limits. host: we're going to be talking with two attorneys general in our last hour of the "washington journal" about the healthcare law. we'll be talking with the oregon attorney general and the colorado attorney general who are on different sides of this. one of the issues is, you know, injuring has filed suit against the healthcare ban. can you kind of put that in perspective as far as the healthcare law goes and states' rights? guest: the healthcare legislation is going to produce lawsuits for years and years to come on different aspects of it. it's a major piece of legislation with lots of moving parts, so i don't know exactly how it'

in fact in the states that had electronic voting the numbers didn't match at all with the exit polling but in states where they had paper do you know exit polls and the final results were almost perfect i have no doubt john kerry won the election in ohio ok now john kerry won the election in ohio john kerry has a certain to say that those exit polls were so far off. just didn't happen something else happened so the yang folks. harassing maybe are getting d.o.t. to harass me this plant is fired at ten in the morning i'm tired at like two two thirty that afternoon and sort of investigating this company instead of putting a putting the brakes on what's gone.

that's why we have become the first city in the state and we're very proud of the leadership now in the state and i say leadership now in the state, not leadership 5 years ago, but now in the state on these issues, by becoming the first city to register where we are in terms of our emissions and having more objective minds determine exactly where we are so it's not just a politician coming up and saying we've rolled it up 30 percent below 1990 and everyone applauds but the reality is that's not necessarily the case. so we have a plan of action. we have a coordinator whose purpose in life is to advance these efforts, and within that plan we've got actionable items, some of which are as interesting or at least elevating in terms of the quality of imagination, tidal wave energy or wave energy which to me is just low-hanging fruit. the idea that mother nature has given us all the tools to solve this riddle and we're not taking advantage of those tools by focusing appropriately, but almost exclusively on solar and wind and other efforts and not taking advantage of harnessing the extraordinar

but the state government revenues are down. so it doesn't matter where you turn, the fact is there is less money for civic purposes. some that are very fundamental and important. and that is what grips hoosiers. and i think properly so. this is what we need to be discussing. at the federal level or the state level or local level, to make any difference in terms of our economy. if creating new businesses, new jobs, new innovation, new anything, new capital that may come into the situation. there are some very good stories in indiana. so that's heartening. there are parts of the state in which unemployment is coming down. so it's not a situation of gloom. and gin the surrounding states of illinois, michigan, ohio, indiana is a bright spot. if you take a look comparatively at the industrial midwest hit by problems of decline in steel production, auto production, rv production, a good number of things of this sort. >> senator, one of the things you mentioned just in answer a little while ago is pakistan. this has been somewhat of a

what is the formula like for states? guest: the reason why the coming back next week is the $10 billion education fund that is included. if this was not passed before the end of august, democrats said it would deprive thousands of teachers in local jurisdictions. that is why they are coming back that is the urgent part of it. basically a lot of the school systems around the country are facing large budget deficits, meaning teachers will get laid off. host: $16 billion for medicaid budget holes and $10 billion for teachers. as every state get the same amount? guest: know, obviously it is based on need, -- noc -- no, obviously it is based on need. guest: what do you host: what happens next? guest: they were not able to get work done on the legislation when they were in washington, said that is why they have the emergency session. host: house speaker nancy pelosi tweeted yesterday she is calling the house back. will every member be able to make it back or do some have different plans? -- that remains to be seen. democrats ha

the great state has the,. ur state legislature was absolutely right in naming him the alaskan of the century. i know of no united states senator who was ever been given such an honor. i think no habitat beyond being a father and husband made more prop -- made tadmor proud. for its time back in the interior department when his office door said alaska headquarters to actually writing the alaska state act that president eisenhower signed in 1958, ted stevens was alaska. maybe that is why his closest friends in the senate is a man you are about to hear from. he is this -- he has a similar background. they both got their estates into the union. if ted had been japanese, they would have been brothers. war heroes, incredible similarities. incredible similarities. ladies and gentlemen, in the summer of 1899, edward henry harriman assembled a crew of 125 high-profile writers, artists, and scientist aboard a ship. their mission was to survey the alaskan coast. one of the men on board that ship was probably the second mos

the situation the united states the demographics how the u.s. only in a very few cases has produced. terrorists it goes into even it's classified secret no foreign which means not releasable to foreign nations but foreign nationals but it off it also talks about in the eighteen hundreds some irish americans blowing up the tower of london the british parliament. and scotland yard and and that's supposed to be classified i think one thing this shows is that the cia and the government in general is over classifying a lot of its documents there's really no way that those documents should be secret because it's a bunch of talking points that could have easily come from any washington d.c. think tank and. no rise of freedom of speech again clash with the u.s. government interests in this instance anything. well i mean though this whole issue if we were going to see something really earthshaking leaked from the cia how about some something that has to do with the cia involvement with what's known as state sponsored terrorism for example the united stat

you don't have departure control here in the united states. as a country, we have not decided to have any kind of passport control or departure control nor has canada. that is a fundamental difference we have with the rest of the world. their only three or four countries that have no departure control. how do we institute that? the airlines take care of the by a graphics side but it is done behind the scenes. if a foreign national leaves the country, you do not see any government presence other than tsa in checking you out. our first priority is to make sure that the people flying out of the country understand they will have to go through a separate process. we also have to ask the same question -- is the cost of implementing exit control system where you get that much more certainty about someone leaving, is that were dead? prior to the economy where it is today, you might have answered yes. in a downturn economy, the administration rightly is looking at that as the best expenditure of that extra dollar we have or do we need to put it on somet
