do you want to change? what are the motivating factors? and actually asking them... there is a reason why you do it, because you get something out of it. it is not all bad. there is a reason why people continue to go back to that drug. so you have to get to that root also. there is a reason why people continue with their particular drug. so empowering a larger group of health care professionals has been our mission, and we hope they will continue to carry it on in their practice and then refer them for treatment. and really sharing the responsibility for the wellness with the patient? correct. obviously it is a very important part. buy-in, absolutely. and it works, too, right? yeah, absolutely. i mean, the research shows that it really works. it does. fran, dr. greene basically told us that within screening and brief interventions there are some referral issues that you tell the patient, "this is where you may get help." what components in a community need to be engaged in support of a program such as screen

jail is going to do for him. th boys to you home. i think you as a mom, why you're crying your heart out back there, knows that's not the right thing right now. kenneth is on the verge. he's on the verge of doing something either really horrible in his life and taking him away from you forever or he's on the verge of maybe being able to turn the corner. maybe if we hold his hand and help him turn that corner he'll be able to do that. today, i'm going to make him a ward of a court in order that he placed appropriately. i will set his matter for review in three months in any event. as it results to kentrell, i think this is a young man that probably the juvenile court system was designed for in some respects. i couldn't let him walk away from us without trying to get him to a point where he's at least literate and can function in some type of a job. today the court is going to make him a ward of the court in order that he be placed at idtc, the indiana developmental training center in indianapolis. all right, then t

and to do better we need to do more together. more cooperation, more specialization by design. >> what are the top priorities under that schema? if you were going to give here are the top three or four priorities or five priorities we have to have both in terms of the capabilities but in ways to achieve those. >> not want to reinvent the wheel. problem is with nato. we have many initiatives in the past. we know what we need. we base our work now on lessons of the past and lessons from operations and operations or just finish operations like libya. we look at with a we could have done better and then this is the bedrock which we build the initiative. the fact that this time it's not only the top gun approach. it's the nation deciding by themselves what do they want to. do where do i have initial interest that can be for realliance. >> one of the challenges historically has been the nations want to preserve their capability under their own flag, industrial and otherwise there is sign that some of that stuff is really changing. even

you have to do with with after tax and dollars. so, the idea of having a system where we treat everybody the same, and so we give tax credits to the uninsured so we can provide an equality in the tax code about how everyone is treated. i supported system that allows that. that is why i would get rid of the existing tax code. go two ways. 10%, and 28%. why at that level? because that is the top level that ronald reagan put in place. it is good enough for ronald reagan, it is good enough for me. then there would be a five deductions -- one for health care, housing, pensions, children, and charity. a simple code and it puts in place to be able to support those who need help with health care. [applause] yes, ma'am. >> if you get elected, what would help is getting rid of some of the federal regulation. been made in america is a huge label i always look for. making something in america is almost impossible. but what was your feeling yournlb going -- what is your feeling with nlb going after boeing? >> i'm sure there'll be so friendly and

to force them to do the right thing. and to make sure that they do not make the decision to proceed with the development of a nuclear weapon. >> schieffer: general, how hard would it be to take out their nuclear capability if, in fact, we decided to do that? this is not just going in there and dropping one bomb on one building. >> well, i would rather not discuss the degree of difficulty in any way encourage them to read anything into that. but i had say that my responsibility is to encourage the right degree of planning, to understand the risks associated with any kind of military option. and in some cases to position assets, to provide those options in a timely fashion. and all those activities are going on. >> schieffer: could we, if we had to, without using nuclear weapons ourselves take out their nuclear capability? >> well, i certainly want them to believe that that's the case. >> schieffer: is it? >> absolutely i want them to believe that that's the case. >> schieffer: mr. secretary, would you like to add anything

whether you want it or not you've got to do it. state law. >> the layman term for high efficacy are fluorescent. >> they're developing other types. >> you have to count the lights and count the wattage and actually submit that sometimes with your permit. that's why undercabinet lights are good, you can put a lot of fluorescent lights there and meet that requirement. you can do also overcabinet lights and have ambient light as well. >> if you put a new window in, you have to meet energy standards for windows. what else can we do to make it a green kitchsnn >> you have to remember the lighting on the hood, many of these, like your hood sounds to be fairly large a lot of them are hall general lighting. you have to count the wattage in that hood along with all the rest of the lighting in your house. >> what else is green? we could use flooring materials. >> every option you can pick something green. so bamboo cabinets are very popular. you can do, you know, the resingled glass countertops. you can do, there's a product called marmoleum,

there are big consequences to what your doing and we need to think carefully. even in most of the city races, do you think people are going to come out and vote in december for the treasure or the city attorney? we might because we are passionate in that regard. most people do not. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i am not going to debate ranked-choice voting. i will observe that one of the recent speakers said that a lot of the facts associated in favor of ranked-choice voting have been and continue to be suspect. i want to talk about the nuts and bolts of ranked-choice voting. when i brought the case to the ninth circuit court of appeals, the judges were clear. it is not a majority system. it is a plurality system and pluralities systems are legal. period. it is a plurality system, not a majority system. if you win a close ranked-choice voting election, the lack of a decisive victory makes you vulnerable for reelection. i would submit that gene kwan is susceptible to this reality. -- jean kwan. she would be in a stronger position. a close election awarded by rank

what can the rest hope to do? dent them some? >> new hampshire is a staging ground where the device go, the goal and the only way that you stop mitt romney if you're one of his opponents, you somehow manage to coalesce a group of voters to his right. this is staging ground and they're going to try out their messages, it has to be on the economic front and you've got gingrich running a contrast campaign saying he is the growth candidate versus the timid massachusetts governor. you're going to have santorum trying to ref up his own credentials and perry, too, and staging for south carolina and florida, not going to be in new hampshire. >> let me ask you about john huntsman, made new hampshire an attempt to break through and put his resources through, who how is he going to do? >> i think he'll do well, but considering romney's lead, he'll have to do very well. he'll have to do almost as well as santorum did against romney in iowa and he's not going to do that. what romney really has her is history on his side as well. the last candi

so, for example, we want to do a higher headquarters exercise. if you want o have a light unit, we can have a light. if you want a heavy unit. it will enable us to diversify with our nato partners. i actually see if we do this properly and are focused on this that we'll be able to make this an advantage to us as we move forward. >> tom? >> thank you. general, thank you for your time this morning. i want to talk about the balance between end strength and national strategy. at ausa last year, you led us through a thoughtful discussion about before 9/11, the arm qui was to implement a two war strategy. there wasn't enough there. you say you're comfortable dropping to 490. share us with, sir, if you woshgs what about the new strategy is different enough to give that you comfort level. >> the fundamental principal and the strategy says that we are going to do long term stability operations. and that is what drove the increase in our structure. the fact we were engaged in iraq and afghanistan for eight and ten years. so we know we have a lot of uncertai

to do. if the commission would like to express an intent of at least doing a half cent for the next 10 years, again, intent and not actual commitment. that would help. giving staff direction to pencil it out would be good. i want to again agree with the commissioner that in-city energy efficiency is not important, if we are charging departments more than they ever paid and we are not at all compensating by saying that we are going to fix your bulbs and motion detectors and all of the other things we should be doing, it seems that it is -- it seems more punitive than it needs to be. whether that is with p.u.c. staff or department of the environment folks who may be cheaper to do the energy efficiency programs, we should find ways to fund energy efficiency, even if it is innocent this four-year period. i understand that. even if it is in years 5, 6 and after we should express that as in intent and not commitment. hope that is helpful. thank you. >> just to be clear on that orkts energy efficie

now half to. i do not have the money. tavis: what is your sense of how the movie is going to be received in seriema attacks >> some people have seen the film. some of various organizations and victims of war. my father is writing every day and telling me about the reaction. they are very positive. people are happy the landed -- the movie is being made because they feel they had been forgotten. if you forget, there is a chance it may happen again. i think their fear is for the future generation, not just of the area, but of the whole world. i think they are proud because of this, the very beginning where bosnia is presented the way i have always felt it should be, with such didn't -- dignity and beauty. tavis: there is always a buzz in this town about you. i cannot imagine that one takes on a project this ambitious that the thought of an academy award is in your head. what, for you, would represent a success on this project? or have you already achieved it? >> when that casting came together and we were all together in new

not want to do that. they really do not want to do that. they saw what happened in 2000. there are enough penstock people that will actually go somewhere else and can cause a huge ruckus. they do not have to go very far to think of an example of what happens when you pump on those that have left. imagine obama calling a press conference in going "i have decided that this year i am returning all the money i have received from wall street and i'm not taking one dime from wall street in this election right now." what you think would happen? think about the support he would have. how many in here went door to door and phone calls and everything in 20008? as, many people can wait to get back on the phone banks? it is not there. he could turn that around by not waiting until after the election but changing it right now. the majority is already with him. >> for those watching right now you are saying that -- who are saying that we have tried to eradicate poverty and we have for more money at poverty, there are more poverty programs than there have ever been, we have done this sin

i will be glad to do that. we needed to get this out to start assessing how contacting out would be used to achieve this project, and that is the first project in sending this to the union. >> it sounds reasonable to the fact that it there for more material for the upcoming budget considerations for the next year, that would be terrific. >> commissioners? additional questions? >>thank you, panel. >> any public comment on item number six? >> hello, again. this is a very important topic. i want to thank the questions from the commissioners. you are nibbling from -- nibbling on the problem from outside, because it is very complex. i want to address comments about other departments. you would be amazed to find out who has more stuff. they need to find out exactly the same thing you do. i think when you list the library, dbi, and lord knows who else of the city, i think we of the world's biggest rfp. let us make it really clear, scanning is not indexing if you cannot retrieve the data, what good is it? you have to ha

that is what we need to do. kevin >> this is my friend the doctor that comes to a lot of my town hall meetings. i always call on you, right? ok. i know what is coming, by the way. just for the record. when people say that i get tougher questions from iowans then i do from the reporters, i appreciate you doing that. i'd replace it with a system that is more -- the american system of making things better for the american public and for the world, and a system built from the bottom up. as opposed to a system that is dictated from the top down. obamacare and any other type of mandated health care is a top- down system. we need -- as a result of that, we have an enormous amount of bureaucratic waste, at an enormous amount of inefficiency, and government control, where you do not have the competition that is necessary to drive down cost and to give consumers exactly what they need. how do we change that? this is a long question and i will try to not be too long and complicated. medicare is a top-down one-size- fits-all

the kinds of things that he wants to do. i wish they would. i think it is a great proposal. i think it applies to both sides. like you said, it should appeal to them. but he ran into the same problem with the health plan. many parts of the health plan were once republican proposals. once president obama had them, they had to switch sides to make sure that he was not reelected or given something positive. host: baltimore on the one for democrats. caller: yes, i am sorry. this is c-span, right? host: yes it is. who is this? caller: this is carolyn. host: where are you calling from? caller: mississippi. host: what you think of the president's proposal for streamlining agencies into one group. caller: i do not completely agree with it. host: why not? caller: because they have different functions. i do not think that the government agencies are the problem. i think it is people trying to prejudice folks against government workers. i think the problem is the loopholes. we are not generating money. that is the problem. everybody is

that's what we try to do. this sort of body language here, she's trying to comfort here, do you think she's buying it? not with that body language. she's not really buying it. some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed

what i'm trying to get people to do is to pay in cash or on that. i do not know if you know it, but if you pay in cash or on a debit card, it does not report to a credit bureau, and therefore, you do not have a score. uri non-entity. you do not exist in the financial system at all -- you are a nonentity. you do not exist in the financial system at all. i am trying to change things, so that we can get rid of credit cards altogether. [applause] when you are tempted to do something, when it comes to money, you tend to. i want to get that out. and i want to go back to being america with a cash society for everyday things and then build up your fico scores are you can one day have a car, a home, you can one day get that job or rent an apartment because you are now an entity because you have been paying with what you have verses what you wish you have. [laughter] [applause] i am trying to do something that is a little out of my ordinary, and nobody wants me to do it. they want to keep everybody down, so the people who take advantage can continue to do so.

we stand ready to do the bathroom. since then, she called out the environmental protection department. and there are lead paint issues. she needs to move out for us to do that work. it is indisputable with the lead paint. the entire building was cited for lead paint. a contractor who is going to be doing the stairs did a painting on the three outside walls. that has been signed off on. as far as i now, it was all done well with proper relations with the tenants and within a reasonable time. the contractor we're using for the stairs is a contractor that i believe will meet the requirements of the owner and the tenants. he made it clear to him that the relationship with the tenants, because of the factor of relationship, it is important. my client has spent money in getting the plans drawn by a licensed architect. we spent months of dealing with getting the permit approved, going 3 planning process, having it reviewed and approved. the job needs to be done. we found the right contractors to do the job. they have that part

do for you? >> that was my question to you. what can i do for you? going to meet here tonight? >> sara. >> sara. sara is how old? >> she's 15. >> 15. >> she just said that, yeah. >> and how old are you? >> i'm 30. my name is jay. >> yea, chris, nice to see you. >> nice to see you too. >> to be quite honest with you, i'm not at all in any way, shape, or form, you know, some sort of pedophile or anything like that. >> do you often come to visit young girls after chats on the internet? >> never. never. >> did you bring anything with you tonight? >> such as? >> condoms? >> yes, i did. >> you did. you brought condoms. >> however -- >> so you were going to just kick back and chat, and just in case something happened you brought condoms. >> yeah, but here's the deal -- >> will you put them on the table, please? >> i'm sorry? >> the condoms. there you go. so you had a big night planned, huh? >> no. please listen to me. >> go ahead. got nothing but time. >> there's nothing, i swear. i don't want to do anything. you know. i don't want to hurt anyone. i just wa

do. you fight to be first, lead. nterest of this country, and secondly, be bold. this country is at a critical juncture. do not settle for something less than what this country needs. you will have a victory, but it will not make the changes necessary to preserve that freedom and security for the next generation. those of the two things i challenge you. one reporter said it was and ask, don't tell. i am asking you to be bold and lead, and i will let you make the decision. i trust the people of iowa. the number one state for website visits the last two weeks has been iowa. i know you think you are the center of the universe -- the center of the country, sorry. i misspoke. believe it or not, you are not the biggest stake in the country. california is over 10 times bigger than you, and yet you have more searches and that of taxes or any other state. -- or taxes or any other state. -- or texas or any other state. you are doing your homework. i cannot ask for any more. going around and asking you if the that is why i am go

is going to do. d that's why i find your -- your position troublesome. you're asking one court to make its best guess at what another court is likely to do, and that other court has exclusive jurisdiction. >> can i respond to that, justice ginsburg, as follows, which is, i had assumed that justice kennedy's question was not specific to section 5 and could just as well be a section 2 problem-- >> section 2. >> or an equal protection under the constitution problem. and in this case, there is no problem. all the court is doing is making a substantial likelihood determination of an issue that it's ultimately going to confront. >> but haven't we also said that, with respect to section 2 and constitutional violations, that those allegations would be unripe in the -- prior to the district court or the attorney general clearing a plan? >> absolutely, justice kagan. but i think it's important to understand that to the extent that the district court in this remedial phase should take section 5 into account, it'

he is learning what it is like to do business with the city. he is learning, has kept a calm approach -- perhaps not at the beginning. there was a high level of anxiety. we have a lot of other decisions that need to be made, so it is my style to make sure that we set a foundation where we can talk with each other and present those challenges so that we can make agreements. each of us gives up something to having said that, this event is moving forward. the cruise ship terminal is moving forward. the races -- you will start to see the smaller boats in august. 8000 jobs. that is not just a promise. that will be a reality here. very soon, you are going to see their activity on pier 80, and there will be some public days where you can see the activity going on with the boats. i want to make sure that you see that, in anticipation. i have a third thing to announce today, but before we have everybody speak -- i told you we have several sets of hands working on economic growth in the city. some of you may have heard, the pac 12 media center is moving t

not know what to do with it. we do not know how to market it." it is an action movie. but it is an action movie with a black cast. they do not think it is viable outside this country or outside the black community. all of the bad guys are white. so? that is just history. they are like, "we cannot touch it." he takes it to the other seven major studios. each of them -- two of them cancel and will not even see a screening. one of them actually sent in one black guy to watch the movie. at the end of it, they asked him what department he worked in. he said, "i worked in i.t." he did not work in film distribution or acquisition. tavis: this is george lucas. >> but george lucas is carrying this film about black actors, black man, our black history, which incorporates and tells all of history. you cannot take a race out without eliminating all the other race, if you are going to tell the story of the human race. george, facing a problem of money -- his girlfriend melody, a brilliant woman, she said to him, "now you have

what the pentagon has to do to be able to do a better job to think about the industrial base as it makes the cuts going forward. the first is actually a level of awareness understanding what the levels are. there is a tendency or has been to focus on just the prime contractors as part of that process when in reality what we have seen is a migration of the prime contractors share of the programs from maybe 60 or 70% 15 years ago to maybe 30 or 40% today with the rest being sustained by subcontractors. the prime on one project is a sub on another. the first question is does the pentagon have better information. i think the answer to that is yes. they have spent the last year with the sector by sector analys analysis. i suspect a number of you in this room have spent a consideral amount of time and energy and cost filling out surveys. the second question is how they actually use that information in the decisions. and that's kind of the question you have raised. we have had statements by the defense department that they have, in fact, done so

you going to do that, that's cool. n't try to tell me that i'm dishonorable because i choose not to do it anymore. >> being interviewed, as you are now, video and whatnot, is that going to have an effect on your safety? >> my safety is pretty much -- it wouldn't have any other effect than it already does. you know, you're going to get got in any way. and any way they can get you, they're going to get you. now, whether i do this or not, it doesn't matter. you know, so -- and it's my choice. and i look at it like this. i mean, everyone's got to go sometime. if that does happen. so i'm not really sweating it. >> the fact that he chose to debrief is going to give us a wealth of information that is going to benefit us, not only in this facility but throughout the state. the eme has their hands in every institution as well as various neighborhoods out in the streets. by him coming forward, actually he's putting his life and safety in jeopardy. but he's well aware of that. this is a good, good debrief. >> it's sny for you? >>

one -- communications, while they've improved, we still need to do more. i think that's the key message i'd like to leave is that i don't think there's ever a point we'll be completely prepared. we're always going to have new people come into the district. we are always going to have visitors. how can we stay on top of it, using social media, p.d.a.'s? one of the things we did is pull together all the different property owners, all the security teams within the properties and where he published a list for all of our employees and for all of our businesses. it's a business card that actually opens up and it has all the different organizations to contact and then on the back we actually added emergency earthquake information, fire, what to happen if things happen within your district. so i'd just like to say that for us we think it's something that is obviously changing. i think we can always do more, but i think we have a good, strong groundwork to continue to work forward. at least we are talking to each other all year long so it's not like we are meeting f

and he absolutely refused to do it. he raved and ranted for about five minutes saying there could be no hesitation on either side, particularly not on the soviet side because of the danger of miscalculations. kennedy later said to folks, well, i guess i shouldn't use that word again. and that was perfectly right. kennedy backed off and he then talked about laos and arms' control and things like that and he got more and more impatient. he came to the summitt to talk about berlin. who wants to talk about laos, in his opinion that's important to the lay you slans hand he didn't want to talk about arms control very much because it was an arcane subject no prime minister should be dealing with. at the end of the first day of the meeting, he said to kennedy, we have not talked about berlin. we have to talk about berlin. i'm going to sign a peace treaty and i'm going to tell you what i'm going to do. kennedy nodded and they had dinner together and the next day they met again and started talk about laos again. he got more and mo

and what is it we have got to be doing now to be working on doing that? i want to go at some of that in my talk here today and to do it i'm going to start out by reading from reflections on the occupy movement, a statement by rob avakian. and an excerpt from it goes like this. to uproot and transform a society and indeed a world marked by an grounded in profound inequality and relations of oppression and exploitation requires nothing less than an unprecedented revolution, a radical overturning of the entrenched and violent leave repressive ruling sources and imperial powers who now dominate human social existence and the deep-seated economic, social and political relations of exploitation and oppression of which they are the embodiment and enforcers. and to achieve such a radical overturning and transforming, requires a scientific approach to the strategic orientation, program and organization that is actually required for the revolution that is really needed. this revolution is necessary not only in order to deal with the basic and antagonistic relation i

people get paid to do this work and they are not doing it. it's the rest of us that need to step up and then there are these important strategic ways that the members of the community can and to fit in. let's take two more. >> you talk about your experience walking through the garden as kind of your moment that song again for you. have you tried to impart that moment on other people to recruit them into helping with this? research for lack of a better term? >> that's a really interesting question. so the nickerson gardens was the most dangerous public housing project in 1985 when i started this work. it's right on the edge of compton, yet in that area was real -- as best we can tell it was ground zero for the american crack epidemic. and i will confess i have not had a great deal of success getting people to voluntarily go under or around. it's actually not nearly as dangerous as people think it is. one of the things you realize after a while was that they don't care about you. you are not a threat. you don't have much to offer. the worst thin

do we wanted to be open to everyone or do we want to have some quality control? soon as you do quality- control you are doing editing and choosing and raising difficult issues. this is an area of innovation i think will be interesting. >> one more? last call? caught me ask you to join me in thanking our guest. >> thank you all very much. [applause] h [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] >> we will take you live to portal beach, south carolina. the son is starting to go down. undecided voters are gathering for a town hall meeting. his guest today will be virginia gov. bob mcdonnell. this is part of the series at town hall meetings with political leaders and gop presidential contenders in the run-up to south carolina's " first in the south"primary. we are taking a look at folks gather as they get ready to hear from a virginia gov. bob mcdonald. mitt romney was in the central part of the state today hosting a forum. jon huntsman started the day further south. he was in charleston, south caro

want to do it so it just leaguers on. we can do it together. thank you. >> thank you. >> any other public comment? >> commissioner walker. to go as a follow-up to the public input, i think having a discussion with the assessor's office and trying to capture all of those documents would be worthwhile. as you all know, especially commissioner murphy, there is a lot of information over there that if we could make it seem less, it would be well worth some of the struggle we are having with this. if that could be one of the things to do to include them, i think it would help. >> i agree with you again commissioner walker. [laughter] holiday cheer. i think one of the most important categories here essentially is we had a very all verbal category, a physical material that if an event of the earthquake and any other disaster that looms, which i do not know how to define, but the category of it is only one place and lost, we would have archived materials that are basically going to be gone. i think it is imperative that we push thi

he has the resources to do a lot to help us. he never said, i will help you if you do these things. he always says, what can i do to help? how can i get others to help you? my personal thanks are unbounded. i would add to mr. kelly's list every single middle school student in san francisco. and now the whole bay area every year as well as all of us and all that we have gotten from the san francisco bluegrass festival is beyond things. >> i am glad we are doing best. i think that warren is really why san francisco ended public schools are so special. >> i just wanted to give a shout out to a fellow alum. he is a great example of an alumnus who make sure that our children have unique opportunities to learn. >> i have never really had a chance to publicly thank him for the work he has done on behalf of our students and staff on behalf of their families. when i talk about the level of generosity to other people across the country that are involved in public education, their response is utter disbelief. when i encourage them, you could do this here, too, they almost run. they don't think

do not. let's pass that item and then come back to that. >> we do have one speaker card request. issioner moran: i'm sorry. i missed the communications. we have a letter summary advanced calendar. one thing i would like to point out on that -- first of all, i think it is helpful to have staff reports done that way. we have questions, we can raise them, but we do not need to. i would like to point out that for the second item, the annual water supply development report -- that shows that we continue to provide and sell a lot less water than we had planned on. those numbers are through the end of june of this year, so they are six months out of date, roughly, and my understanding of the current numbers is that they showed a current -- a continuation of that trend. the good news is that we seem to be doing well on conservation, but the bad news is that financial plans are a little bit out of whack as a result of that. there is a conclusion in part because of that reduced water demand that there is no need to issue a five-year notice that we do not have enough water to supply them. so

where to go to do that, where to go to get assistance. we are also a resourced. when we do see people in our office, many of them are a year or two out from even opening their business, so we will ask them what their credits for is, have they done their business plans, do they know what they're capital needs are going to be, how much money they have, how much money they are going to need to open their business. based upon those questions, we will direct them to the sba for workshops, courses. there is other entities that also provide workshop courses score as well in terms of helping to write business plans. also helping to educate the distinction between the micro lender, our bank, and

everything that everyone would want you to do to preserve every sector of the industrial base. the question is not what do you cut, it what do you keep. we don't know what they are talking about doing. they talked about monitoring, but i don't think that is sufficient. in terms of the procurement and rdt and the accounts, we don't know enough to say, based on what they said yesterday, my hunch is had that procurement will take a steeper cut than other parts of the budget, they are talking about protecting your, you know, s and t investment, and investment in your r and d seed corn if you will. so, if they do that, then rdt and e may not take as much of a cut as procurement. but that is all we can really say at this point. >> i'll put in a plug, we plan here on wednesday the 15th of february, to have an event that is focused on the defense budget a assuming they release it on the 13th. and we will be able to answer questions at that point in time. let's go to the front here. >> rich mcfar land with parsons, the other issue in the room is a cr, and we are

(cheers and applause) >> stephen: that man has got a beautiful voice. all i can add to herman's eloquent quotation from pokemon is got to catch them all. my fellow americans, a lot of people have asked me why are we here? what is this about? in fact herman canned me that on the bus coming here just now. t

this has nothing to do with the pipeline, this has to do with the house republicans doing everything they can using every excuse they can to block a middle class tax cut. ed, when in the history of tax cuts did the republicans ever impose a condition? but when it comes to a middle class tax cut to help working families, suddenly they won't do it unless they get a pipeline. you can't approve a pipeline unless you can prove it's safe they are not interested in proving it's safe. >> is there a chance the president might go along with the pipeline, just won't shoot from the hip? >> that is right. did they forget the bp pipeline in the gulf of mexico that was spewing oil in the gulf of mexico? now they want to disregard all safety standards, want the pipeline running through the united states, has nothing to do with the pipeline, it's a joke, they want to oppose a middle class tax cut and using the pipeline as an excuse the american people are tired of excuses. >> there are serious environmental concerns about where this oil is coming from in canada and how toxic it could be, and also the

listen, you got to do whatever you got to do to get the job done. >> do the streets ever leave you? o, absolutely not. you don't want them to anyway. you have to be able to have that, to tap back into that, if need be. especially now being a father of four kids, beautiful daughters. >> this is fascinating. the way your life has evolved. you have two sons, two girls. also you have your faith. i've read you go to catholic mass every day. is that right? >> yeah, if i don't go to mass necessarily every day but i definitely go to the church every day. that's how i start my day. 15, 20 minutes, say my prayers. >> what does it bring you? >> a very clear focus on what's important, expressing my gratitude of all the blessings that have been bestowed upon me and i reminder every day of what i need to do and focus on. and what i need to stay away from. >> when you pray, what do you pray for? >> i pray to be a good servant to god, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, brother and uncle. a good neighbor. a good leader to those who look up to me. and a good follower to those who are serving god an

>> do you know me at all? i almost want to put on a thicker accent and say, how you doing? oks at me and then he looks at my kids and then looks at me, and i said "rosie o'donnell." and he takes this form, this is what he did. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you and the kids are waiting like this? >> yeah, sorry, no. >> jimmy: no. >> sorry, no. >> and i said, "sorry?" and i said, sorry? he goes, no, you can't get in, you're not on the list. and my daughter, 9 years old, "excuse me, but p diddy invited me himself, yesterday in my pt cruiser while he stretching after he took a run, and he has a daughter my same age and he said we can play." [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> meantime, i'm watching people getting out of bentleys, and maybachs, which i didn't even know was a car, i thought it was a throat lozenge. they're wearing -- [ laughter ] it's like the oscars. they're blinged out of control. and i'm thinking, this is not going well. so, they guys says, i'll go try to find someone. but, he didn't. he had a job to do. so, after like 30 seconds, i said, we've got to go. we've got to go.

decades to do. -- to undo what took three decades to do. i believe is possible for him to win south carolina. it will be an uphill battle. if all democrats, independents, people of goodwill were to come around a good future vision of the country, yes, we can. >> question from susan ferrechio. >> the democrats were able to get the majority four or five years ago. if you managed to stay in the majority for just two congresses. can you talk about why you think you were only able to stay in for 4 years. was this bad policy, bad politics, or bad luck? >> i do not think any of our policies were bad. i think our policies were as good as the environment within which you laid them out. they are also as good as the message that you lay out to further those policies. i believe that we, in 2010, failed the message and effectively. in 2010, our biggest and tight- of vote came from seniors. -- anti-vote came from seniors. they thought we did something we did not do. the difference in our winning and losing was the

they don't want to do anything. if you are compromising to something that you know is going to hurt america and not create opportunities for our children and grandchildren, why would you make that compromise? it doesn't make any sense. you know so i think principles are very important. it is what guides you in your life. and so to stand there and say, well i will take a little bit less of something that i know is going to hurt the future of america in freedom, that is something i am not willing to do. i think you have to stand on principle. >> i have to ask you, your more con sill tory, you are more combative. what else don't you agree on? >> like we are going to admit that. >> let me say this. when we got married her brother said to me, connie, i want to give you some advice. you can either be happy or you could be right. and it and i am a very happy man. >> what message do you want to tell him. >> i don't mean to be disrespectful but i have concerns about career politicians. i would like to get your thoughts regard
