what do you think, dennis? >> i think it's laughable. i think it's nonsense. i think it is so improbable as to be something we should just discount entirely and move on. is crude oil heading higher? likely. are there problems in the middle east that are difficult? of course. might the iranians do something silly in an attempt to block the straits of hormuz? yes, they will. will it last for very long? not more than 48 hours or so. and oh, you might get a spike, but $200, come, now. that's just wrong. >> surely, dennis, you could spike to $130, $150 if the straits of hormuz are blocked. >> you could take -- you could take brent, which is now at $107, and you could get present to $112 or $115 or so on that sort of news. there is so much crude oil abundantly being found. so many new methodologies for finding it. so many new prospects for natural gas coming at us. the probabilities of that occurring, simon, i'm sorry. i think they are illogical and ill-founded and wrong. >> i think i know the answer, but is the move recently in oil geopolitical in nature or is it e

so i think there is a lot of that that goes on and i think that it would be mice, i think it would be nice to see a bit more openness to partner between the companies, and then we could focus more on what we do really well. but it is also, you know, difficult, you want to have produce great products for all of the users that use these products for all of you, and in order to do that, you know, it is nice to have control over the different aspect of what you need in order to make a great user experience. >> rose: people say that we may be hooking at a different way of engaging in search, which is more personal, because of social media. do you fear that as competition for you? >> one of the big things i have done in the last year is push really hard on our social efforts, you know, we have google plus has come out, it is about to hit its one year anniversary, and in a year i mean i think we have accomplished really a lot, just looking at what our users want, i think one of the things i have been really frustrated by in search is that, you know, i have this trend at google, smith, you ca

i think that's a great legacy. i would just add to that that in his book about the supreme court, he addressed what he thought were the three worst supreme court decisions that the court had made up to that point, what he called self-inflicted wounds. and one of them was a decision in the 1870s, called the legal tender decision, and what is interesting about it is it's a case where the court first struck down a statute, and then after a change in its membership, ended up upholding the statute. in commenting on that, he said it was really the court's fault in handling it. and that it wasn't president grant's fault, and uses the word court packing. he said nobody would accuse president grant of packing the court. this is something that was in the back of his mind, even before he was a chief justice. he seized this threat to the court, a real threat and fends it off. that is a real worthy legacy. >> from massachusetts, this is greg. >> caller: hello? >> hi, greg, you're on. >> caller: i'm curious, when does chief just

now personally i think that mitt romney should release all those tax returns and i think the fact that he's fighting it tooth and nail now is really leaves us all to believe that he has something to hide but the thing is that he might not but that's why transparency is so important if you put the truth out there in the speculation can end and the people will be informed and that's why we talk about the need for transparency all the time on this show so forgive me if i think that it's kind of fun. that said leave the mainstream media acts like they give a damn the truth is they don't they're going big on it because it's an election story they can provide hours and hours of mindless coverage when you just unleashed your army of smooth talking points to go back and forth on it and of course only talk about which campaign it will affect and how but hey at least the word transparency finally made it into the rundown but this is also a moment where they deserve to be called on their bluff see if the mainstream media really cared about transparency they'd call out the obama administration for

die we might live a lot better no it was awful i think so would you do you think you'd leave live a normal i think the new well you know when i die on the third to yes i do not ok ok well to the rangel happy birthday today's your birthday here's the injection and i think there is a way what is it seven billion people in the world too many people and i don't think anybody after eighteen makes any contribution to civilization ok you might be a grandad rocking the rocking chair but that's hardly you know giving and civilization anything back so i think you know with seven billion people behind you you want to move out of the way and create space for somebody else just to me that my grandmother may be may have been the only person who knew more about the new do so what she also used to say is all eyes may be ugly death is always ugly do you believe that i don't i mean let me ask you a question what do you think of the world before you existed there's a big blank empty space for millions of years before you ever came into the television studio is that any different from the millions of y

i think a lot of this is overdone. one of the things we're going to get next sweek a continued tale of fx headwinds. but names like philip morris pm which is an interesting name because it's very defensive. names like yum, names like some of the other places that i think people have been very defensive in this global multinational growth fear. our names are actually going to surprise on the up side. >> tim, which -- you wanted to jump in. >> i wanted to jump in here. tim makes a fair point about the currencies. but we actually think that the currency translation is going to turn from a significant headwind to a significant tailwind. we think that these multinationals here in the u.s. are going to benefit from a w k weaker dollar when investors start to flee the safe haven or perceived safe haven of the dollar and they move into that riskier euro. >> when are they going to do that? give us a time frame on that. because at the moment the dollar seems to be king. >> right at moment. but we have seen critical bottoms in th

. >> , you know, we don't think of it as busting wall street, we think of holding people accountable who are engaging in misconduct whether that is on wall street or whether that is in the statehouse in albany or whether it is in, you know, city hall, we just convicted someone out of the southern district of new york today who was a former, who is a current city councilman in new york and the job of any prosecutor like it is for people in my office or any other office in the justice department or any other local prosecutors office is to hold people account who believe are breaking the law and breaking faith with the public trust. >> rose: tell me about the office -- this is a legendary office in the southern district of new york, rude difficult julien had that job and other famous people have gone on to other things. >> the office is a storied one, so it is a very humbling thing to be the u.s. attorney in that district, the first u.s. attorney in that office was appointed in 1789, so it has -- >> rose: 1789? >> it is a long and storied history. predecessors in my position in that off

what do you think that criticism is about? >> i think it is a thinly veiled effort to accuse mr. obama of being in some sense a social democrat, a socialist, the words that are often pound in europe to describe their general welfare state type of economies. >> rose: but is the state that you want to create a welfare state? >> no. >> it is what? >> the state i want to create is one that has faced up to and become willing to organize the production of goods and services that we all depend on in a fundamentally different way, because for me, that is the root problem that we haven't faced that we haven't debated and that we don't change 32 well, is the best living example of that for way or somewhere in scandinavia or where is it? >> well, you have efforts like this that have been existing inside and around capitalism from the beginning, they have funny names that we are maybe not used to. >> rose: where have they taken hold? >> one example one is the cooperative, one is the community enterprise, one is the collective enterprise, but the example that host these days is brought to the

i don't think i do. no. >> that's a good answer. >> i don't think i do because i think it's very easy to get subverted into all of the polling. i think that what we skppt from politicians which we don't expect from shallow spleb celeb like myself is they do speak truth to power and that they are consistent and they have a real commitment to the big picture, as they see it. and to see candidates changing their history and their point of view, depending on who's paying for the ads or whatever. it does make one very cynical. when i was working on capital hill as a student, i worked for a congressman. and if was in charge of gun control. and i was, in spite of "alien", i was quite passionately pro-gun control. and this guy sent out two letter, one to people who were pro-gun control and one to people who were against gun control. it's still shocking to me. >> do you see principle anywhere on capitol hill these days? do you think that is the kind of -- again, justice skelea says he sees nobody involving politi

>> i actually, i think i did. in your declaration at paragraph 13, you write that you sponleded to ivory, and i'm quoting, very briefly and not as nicely as usual because i realized ivory was calling ross' enemies against my wishes. what brought you to the realization that as of 12-24 on the fourth ms. madison was calling your husband's enemies against your wishes? >> in our conversation on january 4 when she was trying to convince me to call the police, and she said, we can bring district attorney here, phil brownstein, the chief of police, she also mentioned pamela harris an also mentioned gavin newsom as her friends and someone who is going to help to do everything against ross. and also she was repeating in our conversation in january 4 and why i was -- the only way i could get out of her house, was saying i have to call my dad is because she was telling me, screw him. at that moment, actually, i didn't know what that means. but looks to me so suspicious that she knowing how hard we were working, even me campa

you think so too? >> no comment. >> ha, ha, ha, ha. >> as your advisor, i would say yes. >> thank you, doris. my attorney in boston. >> i think you may want to go back to the well? >> but. >> nancy gibbs and mike duffy our friend at time magazine have a new book coming on the club, the president's club about the former presidents, and it is quite true when you have the great good fortune to talk to presidents, how clear it is, tier of the club and who is in the one term men's grill. the other guy can go all the way to the dining room. >> and president carter and president bush, can only eat sandwiches. >> but i think, of course, distance changes things, george w. bush explicitly counts on that, someone who reads a lot of history, i just read four books last year on jeash washington's presidency, think people will change their view, michael taught this a long time ago, your rule is 25 years, about? to be able to really appreciate -- >> rose: have we changed our idea of our opinion of john kennedy in 25

i think he is doing fine.is not in the health he once was but the verdict of the medical establishment there is that he can go back to prison and that is where he remains. >> rose: is it like house arrest or is it -- >> no he is in a real prison, prison, you know, he is in the same prison where he used to lock up many of the leaders of the muslim brotherhood who are now egypt's government. >> rose: so in the cell and all the rest? >> yes. >> rose: and his two sons who were on trial? >> his two sons are on a new trial. they are on trial for -- they were acquitted in the original trial of mr. mubarek and his sons and on a huh trial for stock manipulation. >> rose: so the first trial had to do with what actions were taken during the revolution? >> yes. and there were some past corruption charges that were kicked out because essentially the statute of limitations had passed. >> rose: so they are awaiting new trial? >> they are await waiting new trial, yes. >> rose: now to the government, what do we know about what

>> i think so.ince everybody's throwing out numbers, my favorite one for the week is 53% in the nbc/wall street journal disapprove of president obama's handling of the economy. people understand that there's a limited amount what the president can do. the most powerful argument from the republican side this week was, you tried, he's tried. it's not working. let's give somebody else a chance. that's hard to rebut. for all of the fun that we have had this week with romney's gaffe, i think the worst week went to president obama for this 1.5% growth. >> 41 straight months of unemployment over 8%. in terms of gaffes, it's not good for the president to get out in front of people say, if you have a small business, you didn't build that. the we can get into 97 tax cuts and everything else. >> for a small person business, what he was saying -- >> if you rely on roads and bridges. >> we are trying. government and business. >> it was taken out of context. >> it wasn't taken out of context. >> it falls into thi

what do you think of that?think that it's a whole obama numbers on health care were a fraud from day one. they're not going to get the savings they expected and much more importantly, the big, big chunk of change they're expecting was by raising taxes on upper income people. and that wasn't going to be a saving in medical costs, it was going to take more money in the pockets of the job creators and apply it to medical costs and there was never any big savings or banding the cost cares, it was taxing the well-to-do more, it was that simple. >> no, i promise you there are so many taxes lynn in this bill that people are going to be waking up for years to come, saying we're getting hit with that, aim getting hit with that and whether, even if the mandate tax which is going to hit a majority of people and make it less than $120,000 a year, and how about the medical devices taxes more than 2%, aimed at raising more than $20 billion dollars, you know who that hits smaller businesses with smaller margins and innovators

and i think that's changed.tainly we've seen with many of the actors who have come out, performers, ellen degeneres, and other. and i think we really sort of moved quickly on so many issues regarding gay life that suddenly a lot of these people started looking at it and saying, wow, not only would it be okay but, in fact, it's an embarrassment now to be in the closet. and i think that's one reason why anderson and others -- i wrote a piece on "huffington post" about how the new trend is doing it low key because i think there's an embarrassment to having been in the closet. and they want to slip out. >> let me jump on that for a minute. why should it be an embarrassment for somebody who happens to be in the public eye maybe because they make a living in front of the cameras to keep their sexual life private? why should there be pressure on them to go public? >> well, it's not about their sexual life. and certainly nobody's talking about anything regarding sex. and you know, that should be the same way with hetero

>> i think that's your... i think that's your question. pretty clearly. (laughs) >> you know, when i think about what we've done well and what we haven't done well, the mistake of my first couple of years was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. and that's important. but, you know, the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the american people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times. it's funny, when i ran everybody said "well, he can give a great speech but can he actually manage the job?" and then my first two years i think the notion was well, he's been juggling and managing a lot of stuff but where's the story that tells us where he's going? and i think that was a legitimate criticism. so getting out of this town, spending more time with the american people, listening to them and also then being in a conversation with them about where do we go together as a country, i need to do a better job of that have in my second term. >> rose: a better job of explaining? >> well

>> guest: i think not. i think not. maybe end on a touch -- what a great thing if they followed through on that. they gave it to a chinese freedom figure in 2010 after sixty years of passing them over. they bit the bullet and gave it to a guy who is sitting in a cell today. >> host: thank you for the great discussion. it's been a pleasure. >> guest: like wise. thank you. we're at the senate on break we're featuring some of book tv's weekend programs on prime time. tuesday night a look at the presidency. starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern with michael duffy and nancy gibbs. the look into the club through hoover and obama. eel nor clift and explain the president issue electorial system. at 9:50 p.m. in the book "almost president." he profiles twelve men who have lost the run but who have had a great impact on american history. book tv on prime time on c-span2. you're watching c-span2. the latest non-fiction authorses and books on book tv. you can see past programs and get our schedules and website on c-span.org. you can join i

i think i return to staying true to questions and i think the answers have to be different in terms of nato which was created for a specific purpose and it was created as a as a counterweight really to the forces of the warsaw pact pact i think you can just create new names and then here's our question of the things that of the time but if you look if you look at the current situation i would say that this is you know you should have horses for courses this the current structure of nato the way it's set up its membership is not suited to the world we live in we don't live in a bipolar world and we will anymore we live in a multi-polar world and therefore i think we need an organization which reflects that so i would say yes nato is justified in setting it setting it up or eventually but if we if nato didn't exist i wouldn't advocate setting up nato as it is at the moment where you know the u.s. and the rest is infrastructure basically being based in europe i don't think that really fits the modern world ok george. george answered the question now though no that's be fair i think tha

i don't think so. i don't think so. i don't think so. this is an aim less perception he is sitting this like waiting for the phone call from moscow to tell him what to do. >> rose: it is not that. it is just if moscow says you should go he has no more options. he has nobody -- >> this is not the case, no. >> rose: you are the only one on his side. >> we do not agree with that, no. he has 300,000 strong armed force on his side, and -- >> rose: there are some defections, number one. we have had an assassination as well. >> but this is not our assessment. he is not sort of our stooge sitting there. >> rose: it is not a stooge. it is just that you are a very strong -- the russian bear is a very strong friend of a dictator under siege. fair enough? >> i have described to you our understanding of the complex situation, and, in fact, assad going, what does it mean? because he is not one person, just one person. >> rose: what do you think it means? >> he represents an entire power structure which need to be reformed in order to

i don't think it is. as a trade, i think you by the kre which gets you all the regional banks, that's the way to play it. those are the ones getting the deposits and those are the ones that have that traditional banking model. >> j.j., why not go out and buy a big bank right here? why not go out and buy jpmorgan? >> one of the things -- i wouldn't be afraid to do it right here, to tell you the truth. one of the things is that we can't miss, this is going to take a long time to do. they say the devil's in the details. on this particularly, there's going to be a lot of details that will take a long time to get these split up, a lot of hoops to jump through. i don't think that this is actually something to go out and play for thor in term. in my opinion, it could take a couple of years. it was a heck of a lot easier to put them together than it's going to be to take them apart. >> i think jpmorgan is bank you can look at. jamie dimon took down 500,000 shares, a $17 million investment last week. that said to

so i think mr. tata watching seven people perched on a motor scooter probably saw one accident too many and innovated the nano, the idea that you could for low cost give these families more safety, make the environment better so hon and on and on. but i think so much of business now is starting to think about how do we volume of past corporate social responsible. how do we really start thinking about the stakeholders, not just the shareholders. and i think ratan tatan wrote the book. >> rose: how did you come to this, i mean in a sense, you went to cornell by the way. >> yes. >> rose: and set out to be an architect, by the way, right? >> that's right. >> rose: but you went back. >> yeah. >> rose: where did you develop this sense of the family's commitment to give back? >> well, when i entered the family business which is an accident, i was going to live the rest of my life in the united states. >> yeah. >> and called back because pie grandmother was ill. and when i joined i realized that this was ju

and i think that d.c. with a new conference center coming in that doesn't have the connection to the neighborhood, we see that happening through some other chinatowns across the country. i also want to talk about the importance of institutions in that institutions i think create a history, people coming to chinese hospital years and years. we heard of a number of speakers who were born in that president and i think that creates a living and breathing history, i guess, in the neighborhood. vice president wu: i take very seriously the neighborhood plan. i think there should be very few exceptions to the plan itself. there is an s.u.d. in fron of us today, changes to the general plan itself, reclassification. i think there are only certain projects that really warrant that kind of change, and i think that this project has done so carefully, looked at it very carefully to the sort of carve-out that's been created here. i think that one might worry about setting a path for other projects to come in and sort of,

well i think all i think is going to happen for weeks and months to come i think of i think the basic stalemate that we are witnessing now it's going to continue i think the needed opposition local opposition groups their rebels or the government can we in this battle those internationals they want and i think this will. continue for the months of calm and many probably more young people will become radicalized they will see their relatives being killed and even me take more guns and to defend themselves and you would see also. the government using more force to call these billion so i think these remains to be seen how the transition is going to war much if i can say with you in los angeles this is bode well for a democratic future well i think if if if i think if he now allows a more as i mentioned the peaceful transition you might see i mean you might see different groups coming together and you know the now the the secular of the muslim brotherhood all different groups has to come together and. create a pluralistic society but i don't see that still be happening soon ok stephen if

i think john doar remembers that -- i think i called him. i think that's how he remembers it. that i'm the one who called him and had him come in, and i can't remember the time. i think i talked to him first. you have to think about that for a minute, for people who are watching this. here was this young staff person. not a lawyer. very low experience. i'm interviewing sort of the icons of the civil rights movement for this job, but clearly, i'm just a clearing house. anyway, we present the names. he interviewed the various candidates, and he came to the conclusion, he thought that john doar was the person that he wanted, that would meet his criteria. we called john doar. i think i made the call to john doar. of course, you never want to put a person in this position. i called john doar to say, if you're going to be asked, would you accept it if you're asked? and he said that he would. so i told the congressman that he would and he called the congressman and he was hired. >> after the judiciary committee approved the three articles of impeachment, the "new york times" wrote a

i think -- i'll put it out there. let me know what you think. is a per review of how a mitt romney presidency would look. what we saw was the instincts of romney and the people around him were to basically fight the idea that it was a tax. the instingtss of the republican party and the conservativeç movement would rally behind the attacks and what you had is conservatives got angry and frustrated with romney that he wasn't coming their way and they sort of pressured and shamed him into coming their way. is this a guy who's afraid of his base and if they push him and pull him, he's going to go their way eventually. >>? >> you could make the argument that romney is impressionable but not in this case. chuck todd was on earlier talking about how fehrnstrom didn't say anything. he wasn't supposed to say this was their way of keeping romney consistent on what he's been saying about mass care, romney care since 2006. now, it's nuanced. it came out as a mess, a total mess. the way fehrnstrom handles it and then romney comes out and tries to clarify it

i think he is a smart guy.hink he could do the job. >> yep. >> bill: but i don't know if he is in the right place. >> bush didn't pick dick cheney for wisconsin's one electoral vote either. there is more to choosing the vice president than that marco rubio would be fantastic choice and rob portman. we have a lot of great candidates. you asked us to pick who we think would be the nominee. mitt romney looks at paul ryan and sees two things. one, somebody who he thinks is credible and has gravitas in a serious and will be instantly taken a serious person and capable of being president. i think in that sense he sees him as a safe choice. someone who will be taken seriously and out there. at the same time paul ryan energized conservatives with the ryan plan and his budget. he is the one person who is both the safe choice but also mitt romney would know he would energize the conservative grass roots. people would be excited about a ryan pick. that's why i think he is the most likely person to get the nod. >> bill: yo

let me share with you wh think it is the latter, and why i think what we will see is th 21st century emerges, is a world of muipe odetyt di hdvlo untries converge towards the western way. what are some of the key differences between the chinese models of development and the western? cl aas ornwinoina' id vard opocal change. that is because the chinese faith, unlike the european is smt enough to open itsdoors tohe mide s.en me s eu gehearnd ghe h it back and beat it down and clamp down on it. that is why they ended u overturning those institutions. the chinese state is smarter than the holy roman state. the chinese state,bgnn 1ane lr ha , has essentially been co-opting the middle class ever since cina began to privatize the economy about 30 or 40 years whhamean tyo ch b inole-cass is doing the same thing that i'm an apostate. it is a middle class that is essentially a dissenter of the status quo and aninvestor in statecpta beng middle-class society. but no, it's middl middle-class is not having the same political impact as the middle-class of europe andhe middle class of it bthatetdo

i think that's the purpose for why he is doing it i think that's one of the purposes in fact. in the united states the issue of whether or not democrats are considered strong on national defense and security is one of the issues that's always played well for republicans and so showing this macho image and image of. going to stand up to kill these terrorists whoever we call terrorists is. it was i think it was being it was leaked in order to make him appear stronger. weaker and and frankly. you know there's there's a lot of. in relate or in opposition to invading a country you know doing as targeted ok you're saying you're saying this is a security policy i'm not cheap chris if i go to you in london a lot of the information that was leaked i guess was leaked to you guys because a reading of your work is quite fascinating is this you know why are they you know spoon feeding the media every once while they'll say something of course is the most secret program in america but it is same time that kind of want to brag about it and from your research in your writing it looks like the

>> i think not. either any there paragraphs where she is lying on admitted evidence. >> the main 164 and 165 or are you speaking about 166 fax >> 166, too. is there a dissenting view. >> paragraph 184. relies on sheriff mirkarimi's decorations. >> good point. that should be in. ok, if that was confusing -- i know that was confusing. i figured when you said 184 and 184 is the last paragraph, that meant that you had covered all of them. >> he was doing 52 through 180. >> we're confused. >> -- through 180 and i was giving ahead to 84. >> the range is at 1 feet. we're half at the range. my understanding was she said 152 to 180. >> we're at 158 to 184. there were interim ones that we admitted. 159, strike 162 when a three- 184, ok. you had an objection to appoint seven on page 3. >> i accepted it. that should go out. six. >> and relevance, i do not think i can expand further than enough. -- further than i have. >> i cannot expand further on that point either but i did want to make clear for the record tha

: do you think mitt romney...it. do you think mitt romney could clear up a lot of this confusion over when he was at bain capital and when he left and what he was doing there if he just released some income tax returns? >> look, he's already done that. >> schieffer: one year. >> these attacks have been labeled by the independent fact checkers as untrue. bob, i'm sitting here in jaynesville, wisconsin, people are not worried about the details as to when mitt romney left bain capital to save the olympics. or the details about his assets which are managed by a blind trust, for pete's sake. they're worried about their jobs and their families' future. and barack obama, he doesn't want to talk about that. he has a terrible jobs result. he has a terrible record to run on. since he can't run on this record he has gone to dividing this country in order to distract the country to win the election. this is not the 2008 barack obama we thought we were getting. this is not the candidate of hope and change. this is a candidate

i think he is wrong and i think that the risk reward is much more let's say difficult in bonds. bonds have a small move in their interest rate and you are looking at a major loss in capital. less than a 1% move in interest rate in bonds equals a 10% loss in principle. the stampede is going to happen at some point, not near term but will happen. >> it is not like bill gross is exactly talking his own book here. first blush you would think he is but he does say a 2% return for bonds and a return for stocks nominal call it 4% is what his outlook is over the very long term. >> he says that the cult of equity is dying. the reason it is dying is that the baby boomers are quite literally dying and aging and so much of the equity boom that we saw in the 1980s and 1990s was about the baby boomers being at their most risk tolerant most productive years. they cannot afford to take risks at this stage. i think we will continue to see a period of depressed returns. it is unfair to compare stocks to bonds. if you hold bonds to maturity the return of principle is absolutely guaranteed. it is a

but i mean, i don't think you should expect to go another hour. >> i don't think it will take another hour. >> yeah, well, i'm saying i think you should plan to wrap up in 30. >> i think it's going to take longer than that. i'll go as fast as i can. >> you'll go -- i mean, we have a lot of discretion to how much testimony. we've heard a lot. if you've got -- don't save your very best for last if you don't think you may -- you may not get there. >> ok. ms. lopez, what time on december -- on january 4 did you find out that there was a police investigation of what your husband did to you on december 31? >> on january 4, around 3:30. >> ok. and was that when ivory madison told you? >> yes. >> ok. did you have any inkling before 3:30 there was an open police investigation? >> as a good friend and as a good lawyer, she waits three hours to let me know she opened an investigation. i think she was really taking care of me. >> i'll move to strike that response. >> sustained. ms. lopez, you need to answer these questions. >> ok. no. >> and were you on the phone with linnette peralta haynes when

i think wimpiness is the problem. i think he's detached in certain ways. when he says i'm not going to turn over my taxes, i'm not going to tell you about my ira. that's not being wimpy. that's having a "you people" attitude. like i don't have to answer to you people. i've given you people enough. that's not really wimpy. so i think "newsweek" was calling in on the historical legacy that howard helped to create to help sell magazines. >> remember the teacher trying to get a job in the conservative south and they wanted to know if he believed in evolution. he said i can teach it round or i can teach it flat. however you want it. >> barbara bush has still never forgiven me or anybody else associated with that cover. >> we won't either. thank you very much howard fineman and david corn. >>> coming back, president clinton is going all out for president obama. so it looks like he's doing kwoo it a job. with a big convention speech coming up. what's the big dog up to campaigning for obama this year or for hillary in 2016? or how about both of them? >>> also look

i think we need time to think about the marriage of these proposals. i would respectfully ask for your support, of my motion to continue. >> this is just a point of clarification to the city attorney. if we divide the file into a charter amendment going forward, can you support both? i ask that question because -- what if two of the charter amendments get six votes or more? do we have been going forward to the voters? >> both items would go to the voters, and if they are inconsistent you have been consistent measures. you would go to the version where if they just pass, we will be in favor of the one that got the most votes. >> what if they both get six votes each? >> they would both go to the voters. >> i suggest that i hope that from between now and july 10, that we just have one measure but we will see what happens. >> i was not able to share my thoughts. i will save it -- i will say most of them for two weeks from now. september and november, i would like to throw out a few thoughts to consider. this is why i think september is appropriate. having

i think -- i think it should be admitted for a nonhearsay purpose. any comments from the commissioners with respect to b-4 being overruled? ok. we're now to section 2-a there's a similar general hearsay objection. i would overrule that objection for the reasons we previously discussed. except for paragraph 34, lines 23. we it starts with he asked, threw line 25, in law enforcement. >> i'm sorry, commissioner, what were those lines? >> page 13, line 23 through 25. it starts on line 23 with the last word. >> you know, i'm sorry, commissioner. i just noticed in fact we also had a relevance objection to this paragraph 33 and 34 that was not accurately reflected in the document that was prepared so of that an oversight. >> not accurately reflected or you didn't include it? >> no, it's right there on -- i made the objection when i transmitted all of my objections to mr. keaton. so it was -- must have both missed it. >> ok. >> and this relevance objection is 33 and 34. actually, to be specific, it's on page 13, line 2. the sentence beginning with we, all th

, we think.margin potential here. >> even with the escalating cost of getting the content and all of the auissues raised, do you think they overcome all of that? >> we do. the content cost isn't talked about quite a bit and i think there is a bit of a misperception that people don't understand, that they have been the ones that have been driving that cost higher and part of that is just to create as good of a service as possible and part of it is it becomes a barrier to entry. we think those content costs are significantly going forward and you see incremental hubs driving profit. >> josh brown. >> i think the thing with netflix that's really interesting, it is almost as headline driven as the euro u.s. dollar stuff. i guess my question would be what's the next big headline that if you are bullish on the stock you should be looking for you should be looking for? another content deal or something with amazon or apple or none of those in the future. >> maybe he will put more on his facebook page. a
