do? >> we have to make a campaign about what we would do. you have to run a very specific campaign that talks about the changes you want to make in order to tackle growth, the handmaiden of inequality. if you look at two republican two term presidents, ronald reagan and george w. bush and two democratic bill clinton and two-term presidents bill clinton and now barack obama and if i , were to just compare reagan bill's eights with years, it is like night and day in terms of the effects of the number of jobs that were created, the number of people lifted out of poverty. 100 times more when bill was a resident. did policy have something to do -- president. with it? i would argue that it did. listing 7.7 million people out of poverty with 23 million new jobs, you also end up with a balanced budget and a surplus see you are handling both sides of the debate simultaneously. >> he did not have the kind of congress that president obama has. i remember there was the contract with america, newt gingrich, and they did get control of the house of represe

oh, yeah he knows what he's going to do. i don't know what i'm going to do. if you have four relatively younger children like we have from 20 to 11, there's a lot to consider in doing this on a personal level. putting aside the politics. so, you know, we'll decide. i'll decide coming year. >> let's talk about your party and what you or any presidential candidate faces if they decide to lead that party nationally. pew research center did a study and on the republican side you have a split between "your business" republicans who are all the people in this room, and your populace or tea party republicans, these guys have the money, the populace group has more votes. when you look attitudes on issues there are stark divisions. populists say international trade is bad for the country. business republicans say it's good. populists say don't even think about cutting social security. business republicans say of course we have to do that. immigration, populists say it's bad. homosexuality the populist wing says not okay. people in this room, business republicans say it

or you want to do this. ok how because. i just want to talk to them one on one christiane if they can find if it takes for me to get what i need from them yes there will be. a good. one yes. ok. i will have to spend. a lot of thank you. have you will be me. can a car and we have only one page because the smile there is very terrible and they had to do it quickly so that our posts but not spam like them actually. very good that it had not the size you want to see just before you go on all it's that i've seen people what i think. about i know my god when bilbo go go do it. but i'm going to get. that. little bit. ready and believe that. every city girl dreams of this moment in that group and i don't bother telling all stuff. oh no i feel like i'm hurting her oh. he's going through. ok. i'm. sorry mirabelle money. oh my god this film we had over my god this is the biggest thing. was that a little bit we're. going to we're going to have in this. city girl i didn't think i would be able to do it but i did it and there is a reason

what he wanted to do. well unfortunately that is a crisis that was all too predictable when we took our troops out of iraq completely and left the iraqis to be overrun by these terrorists which has happened we do it's happened which richard it's not funny it's not funny when christians no i mean they're like oh you're not that had that's what they were i think i'm ready meal i would let it run is they continue let me finish continue let me continue this is wait wait a second now this can let you know i learned your question i want to finish it let him state what i want to say i think that we what we need to be doing and you know the president signaled he would do this is to send troops in there as advisors to the iraqi troops we may have to bolster you know that that presence in iraq when it comes to afghanistan pulling troops out of there will predictably encourage greater levels of terrorism we know this when it comes to the ukraine what we could be doing is getting nato troops to to the ukraine to try t

i want to hear what your office is doing to facilitate the process to incentivize developers to actually build the affordable housing. that's one of my questions. the second question is what can we do to change that, to make the requirement to pay out a lot more than the requirement to actually build the affordable housing. >> well, easterly yes, -- earlier this year the mayor looked at the department who can look at the effect of housing and directed the department to come up with better processes to allow projects to be approved quicker and that was directed both at the planning department and the building department. as part of the housing group we are looking at outside the inclusionary and as a way to create more affordable housing faster and so basically utilizing the market folks to do what they do which is build and build for our affordable levels. we are looking at the program as part of the housing workgroup to see what incentives we can create to encourage more housing and sooner whether it's by non-profits or for profit. the whole expediting that the mayoren encouraged to do

that's why i had to do this. how do republicans come back and make the argument that we had to do this because the president has no respect for separation of powers and what not? >> let john boehner do what he's going to do. i think i've said that i didn't agree with him taking that measure in the first place but now that he has and now that he's pushing forward with it, seeing the president's response has been flippant in itself, saying so sue me, standing up to the podium and saying -- he defended his use of executive action daring critics to stop him. i said i can't wait for republicans in congress to do stuff. i'm not going to apologize. and boehner writes that he knows that the president is frustrated but the american people are more frustrated. so i think this is one of though instances where you just let it play itself out. boehner is going to do this. let it ride >> if you're a house member and you pass 40 different pieces of legislation when it comes to jobs and even senator mccain said we are a do nothin

we'd probably like to do them too. remember the lcff is a multiyear transition period to getting to what we hope will be significantly more money. i'd like us to just -- i'm trying to think about that myself. if we look at a recommendation that says put a million dollars into these things, what would we get for that, how is it aligned where our goals, i think that will help us in our discussion. i think what i'm hoping we'll do with the formation of this task force is to -- in the coming months, to actually put in place what would be a continuous process so that we don't so much think of this as oh, we're going to have a group of people that are going to critique what they themselves and what we did this year, and then that'll get done and we'll start next year. i want us to be clear, as i am, and i hope we all agree with that, and i think we do, that what we're doing now is taking the enput we got this year, we will continue that so this it deepens and become more responsive and helpful to us for the coming years, but

or you want to do this. ok how because. i just want to talk to them one on one christiane if they have fun if it takes for me to get what i need from them. but the. list goes. on yeah. ok. i will have to spend. a lot of thank you. have you will be milking a car and we have only one page because the smile there is. very terrible and i had to do it quickly so that i was postponed i smell like salmon actually. the great thing that i'm going to have not the size you want to see just before you go crawl it's that i've seen people what i thought oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh my god let go of the old go go go go i think. we're going to get. a little bit. of everything believe that. every city your old dreams of this woman in the group and i'm about to blow it all stuff. oh no i feel that i'm hurting oh. you're going through. ok. i'm. sorry mirabelle money. oh my god this film we had already got this is the biggest thing. ok with it a little bit. of what we're going to have in this. city girl i didn't think i would

what vladimir putin is trying to do, flip the script. verybody thought that extending economic ties to russia would make russia one of many in the community of peaceful nations. it didn't turn out that way. as a matter of fact, putin is using the threat of cutting off economic ties specifically energy, as a way to threaten the western europe. and the fact that western europe is willing to fight back at least a little bit is significant. so i think those things are important but i would also say that the administration is trying to put political pressure on putin. domestic political pressure on putin. if the united states were to get involved militarily, it would be curtains for any deal. the one thing the russian people understand the idea of an military offensive against them. they spent sentd turryes fighting those off. to get in the role of a germany or france would be deadly for public opinion and would allow putin to rally the russian people behind him. by slowly rach eting up the check pressure, i think what the administration is tr

a partner to do that way it's a speech. say journalists are supposed to deal with any situation in. special way and that. it's because like planning was. you know when you are. going on a trip like this with a very short period of time to fill up so the everything. you need to be like. able to be working like this you know it doesn't know where you're going because like time is precious and you can waste any any second here is the address and that's where we are now right here right yeah and you talked to him before director of. face said i think i'm so stupid as to. who does and serious this is an unbelievable. hospital. this is about making the business survive. corporations don't love your parishioners told. the parishioners have no feeling. corporations don't care about you or me corporations we care for. people come to untouched for assistance and leave. the state come on. we're not going to quit. we will not stop until it is done what is more precious music more movie. surviving the onslaught israel's continued assault

so can we get to the point where we don't do that? i believe we can. i don't think next year we'll be able to go suspension by suspension to do a causal analysis every suspension -- it is such a traumatic and specifically significant event to the life of a child. if they are suspended in middle school the outcomes in life are incredibly narrowed. if it's that serious for the kid, we should respond seriously. the goal is eventually these teams would respond on a suspension by suspension basis. similarly, in the resolution there's a real challenge for us at sites, which is to make sure the protocol for when a student returns to school is systematic and is high quality so we have a reentry process that's really strong. >> one of the things i'd like to highlight is part of our purpose for developing the multidisciplinary teams was simply to respond to some of the complex problems that our school has experienced. part of why i'm saying that is because we can't be prescriptive in our response to supporting a school and both in supporting a stuvent, student, t

to be left alone. they just hope that you do. >> host: we are going to take a quick break. >> host: you say our values define our tactics. what do you mean by that? >> guest: this is my thought rereading it for the dozen times i realized how manipulative the rules for the radicals ar are io that there's no principles in this book. it's all about fooling somebody into doing something they wouldn't do otherwise and that seemed to be consistent with their ideas of the rule of man or over the rule of law. we are different in the sense that our values don't hurt people or take their stuff or treat everybody like you would want to be treated. very much a fine not only who we are or what we believe, but how we would fight to restore liberty. and i love to quote frederick dayak in a spontaneous order and how it was that all of these disparate individuals with their personal knowledge of time and place and us with your family needs and with your aspirations are and how they all come together and create something that is so much bigger than anyone of us could have done. but look at the tea party movement as a sm

we don't have ten years to do this. we have the next two to three years to retool oufrss and give our students and teachers the tools they need to innovate, which they don't have right now. thank you for the great question. that gets to the last point. we need to raise the financial social and political capital to do this work. it's a real call to action to change conditions for our students because right now 3500 to 4,000 students graduate from our high schools every year and we want all of them to have the choice to do post secondary experiences that lead them right into jobs in san francisco that are high wage, high demand, if that's what they choose so they can live, leads and work and thrive in san francisco and retain the character of our city. that's why we're very happy to have you invite us here and i also invite our board members who have been active leaders in this if i've left anything out. >> thank you miss moran. any questions or comments? okay. commissioner mendoza. >> i just wanted to note how far we've c

if it did what it was supposed to do, why are we talking about this? hree people made the same argument. no one argued in either one of the cases it was supposed to solve every single problem. >> 10% -- >> hold on a second. to the american people was the infrastructure. >> stimulus was not big enough. you are correct. should have been much larger. and a lot of us argued at the time we should have made it much more muscular. by the way, when you're building it's much different than the bush years, where money going to tax breaks that weren't buying anything. in this case, buying bridges and roads and keeping teachers and cops on the job, and it worked. unemployment, the unemployment turned around, largely, but you can say whatever you do anything, we built this bridge, cut the ribbon and complain. that's terrible, there's another bridge down the road. matt: i think we can say the recovery has been much more disappointing than any of the administration's own prognosticators, and i can't give you the final word, we're out of time. [ laughter ] >> it's the

do you think it's going to create this. do you think this is what's. interesting is that. it's also the largest debtor nation. the history of breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but want to get real alternatives to the point still not working for the american dream the next they were just trying to survive it's time for americans and lawmakers are more sure to wake up and start talking about the real causes a problem. i'm the president and a society that case i'm big corporation trying to convince that. can do i'm the banker trying to put all that money all about money and i'm passionately sick for politicians writing the laws and regulations. bankers coming up. there is just too much. of a diet. that. i think. it was like the old your girl did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioning the constitution. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy schreck office. will. never go on i'm sorry and on this show we reveal the picture of what's actually going on and we go beyond identifying the problem to try

anybody want to respond? >> i do. i have a letter written by a number of senators, including senators on this committee. and there's a sentence in the second paragraph that i agree with. we strongly believe that in responding to this crisis, we must not set aside our fundamental commitments as a nation. that's the bedrock of my public service. dealing with this or responding to a terrorist attack, we should not jettison the law or bend it. and it's at times like this, when adherence to our laws, in my view, is very important. >> i'm very familiar with that letter, as you know. thank you. >> senator? >> thank you, madam chair, and thank you all for being here. i'll be honest with you, i feel like you're going to have a lot of problems with the proposal you're giving us because it's not balanced. there's been concern over the cartels advertising falsely, if you get here you're going to get amnesty, those kinds of things, and the ability to administratively deal with the people here. you mentioned you had, i guess, 2,000

would need to have to do anything really kevin the general counsel for the office of the director of national intelligence flippantly dismiss the report claiming that all it means that each valid foreign intelligence targets talks to an average of nine people what's your response. but i think that that's quite a deflection i mean first off what they're saying is not that they talked to nine people that on average started such a nine people but saying that ninety percent of this surveillance on average from this sampling that the washington post got to look at thanks to snowden is information that is seemingly unrelated to any of the targets so i don't know and he seems to be mistaken in the way that he's interpreted in that this is a reflection of the number of people someone talks to i mean i can say if they talked to twenty or thirty people it would just mean that it was an even higher percentage of people who were having their information swept up in the dragnet another disturbing revelation that i found was how easy it is to authorize spying fernand parkins by simply labeling them

to students. students don't do in service. it's -- in service refers to the kind of work you do while you're being paid and students are not being paid. k 47 is, i think, particularly fascinating in the language. it calls for the development of talent development strategy, talent development strategy. like to know what that is. k 50 we're paying a bunch of money, money that comes from the sales force and mayor's office to provide a vision for transforming outcomes for middle age students. perhaps that means middle school students. we want a vision, we want a bunch of money to go there so we can kree create a vision. if you look at k 56 and following, you'll see over $1.4 million spent for various legal forms and we don't know what they're doing because they use the same canned language for each one of them. they're going to work under the general counsel to protect and advance the interests of students. i think the resolutions you have here are important. this is where you're spending a lot of money. i think when you're spendin

we don't have to do this in frenzy, let's do it the right way. the first tape of march 21, 1973, worried me to death. when i went to bed that night, i met my mind the president is cooked, he doesn't have a chance. the following morning i heard another tape that was made only three hours later, on the same day. that completely did away with what was happening in the first tape. as thist use one tape magazine has done, you can't use one part of the tape as the washington post did. you have to use it all in context. this ise at the truth, what i suggest we do. purpose of any media to make the news. it is the purpose and the objective of the media to fairly report the news. to say, as this committee did, over many weeks -- everything that halderman new, nixon knew. that's not proof. i want to pose this one last thing. wonder what the prosecutor and the united states senate is going to do for witnesses. i wonder what he is going to do. is he going to please his whole case on tapes because he can use any of the witnesses we had? because every one of the

they say it's hard to do. did you find it hard to do? >> lis, en, i'm not an athlete. farthest thing and if i can can do it, i figure everyone can. i walk -- you don't have to walk fast. you can walk super slow. >> how's come you're not typing while you're talking with me? >> you can't walk and talk and type? come on. >> but anyway, yeah, i find -- and the other criticism people have, you're going to get so tired, i actually find it invigorating >> really? >> yeah, because the more you walk, the more energy you have. it's not like you get tired and you have to take a nap. and quite the opposite. >> hmm. sometimes when i'm walking around the city, you get tired and want to take a nap. >> okay, that's true. but i'm not walking superpast. >> there's no stress. not like you're watching out for cars or other people so you don't have to focus on that. all you're focusing on really is the typing part because the walking comes naturally. >> and you know when i really want to take a nap is when i sit down at my desk and start tapping. >> and you want to drink. you want to drink

there is a choice to be made as we go forward, as do we want bipartisan corporation to get , or do we -- job done want to obstruct, to be missing in action for addressing the needs of the mecca people? it is about progress. it is about bipartisanship versus obstruction. and people know i think that more and more that the public is aware that -- of the republican obstructionism here. but not good enough. we all have to try and keep trying and keep trying to find bipartisanship, and one place we borderthat is on this issue. under republicans across the country care that those children -- i know some about of our -- andcan colleagues do hopefully we can at least on our values, who we are, and how we treat children, and how we expect our own due process in our country at least have that as the basis for coming together. yes, ma'am. >> in the past you said you wanted to the supplemental go through. [indiscernible] it does include changes. is there anyway democrats to get on board if it means getting a deal before the august recess, which is leaving and not addressing the money issue or any

one of the things we tried to do is to make sure what we're preparing kids for both with what we do in the school direct as well as the community college that we often connect our kids do is targeted to getting them into the kinds of jobs that is open here in this area. >> peter capelli is part of the problem that people don't want to move or don't want to move as much as they might have wanted to in the 70's and 80's? it just sounds odd that there are so many jobs on offer, and nobody to take them. >> well, i think the assumption is just wrong. there is no evidence that there are lots of jobs available with nobody to do them. one of the things we have to remember is there are always vacancies in the economy. it doesn't mean that they don't get filled. if you have a job that is open, you post it. you interview people and look for people and for that month you've got an unfilled job. it doesn't mean that you can't fill it. the other thing we have to think what has actually changed now? is it impossible to find people who can do these jobs? the big change is this. employers a generation

land thenew ways to fireworks. we do medical research up here, we have come up with ways to get chemotherapy to the target areas of the body more effectively. you have to look at is that humans are meant to explore. this is one path that we need to take and now we are starting off and that fulfills the idea, not just a whole race of humans and that is one thing we need to do. a lot of spinoff technologies come out of this. for the economy, it creates money for our country and he creates a better world for all of us. mr. kilmer is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for being with us. questions fromg the young gentleman behind me here. of is trying to get a sense how the space station plays into the effort to go to mars and a little bit more specific about what the utility is of the space station. he also wants to know as we look out into this century, what is on the horizon, what other new frontiers do you think that we are going to visit and he also wants to know how many planets >> let's startr with the a

i guess i'm going to do something else. so the , they are not users of cloud computing don't have easy access to american services. they don't have easy access to the german cloud computing start-up. so all of the efficiency are supposed to come from that are not there. you're throwing inefficiencies into supposedly inefficiency machines. last time i looked at the european economic picture, it wasn't that great. by the own admission of the european authority. arrying two, they would hurt the small business and start negotiating. >> it may help part of their industry and hurt everybody down stream of that industry. it may help their cloud providers and hurt every start-up. i don't know any start-ups that buy equipment anymore. they all set up on a web server, a web service like google or amazon. it will be harder. if it costs more to have an all-german cloud than german start-ups will have more trouble starting up without buying equipment. >> and we started a marketing campaign for them though. do you have a question or comme

she was smart enough to immediately bring in the other five women in it we are doing this as a group use she knew that any decision she made was going to go through the next person in the and the next and the next and they did manage to get the old spice after shave lotion in the deodorant a place and they also managed to get nasa to add but only nasa could refer to as harry streets, we call them rubber bands. but it wasn't just meant nasa or the press, one the original launch date was moved back to accommodate a schedule change, they were just shifting things around and johnny carson joked that the space shuttle had been delayed so that sally ride could get a purse to match your shoes. and i have screened all of the johnny carson jokes over that time and they only got worse and they were awful and i'm very happy to tell you that the audience over time ignored him and then started booing him. the idea of an american woman had gone from becoming a punchline to a matter of national pride in the entire nation was riding with sally in june of 1983. just before she went i got my one-on-one

we as african-americans tend to do that to ourselves. a lot of times, i've had people say and black people don't do that. i jumped off a cliff in rio. people are like, man, people do not do that. i said well, i did it. so what does that mean? >> i said, it's weird. i'm african-american by my culture. not by my color. so what happens is when you're talking about culture, culture should always be celebrated. african-american culture is the most beautiful, most celebratory thing you should always love it. but because i'm dark skinned, a lot of times people say well you should be here. and i decided i was going to leave the race, when i say race, what i'm talking about is when they determine you are black, what happens is you become there's white, there's yellow, there's red, there's brown, and there's black. now who is always on the top of that? white. that's the race. because the race is always about determining who is first. the race is literally a sport. it's like the race is white people finish first, black people always finish last. and

but it's not easy to do. o the question is, should try to say, well, it's not there anymore, but the seven things that you need to do in order to achieve that, or should they try to -- there they are -- or should we try the -- [inaudible] all right. or should we make it easier for you to use federal dollars to figure it out yourselves? i the we ought to do the latter. i thought we did a pretty good job 30 years ago. i think governor haslam has done a better job. one thing we could do is take the title ii money. it's really for helping teachers, teacher personnel development and say you can use that money however you want to develop your own systems of teacher evaluation and principal evaluation and performance. that's quite a bit of money. and right now it really goes in to reducing class size in most states. but you could use it if you chose to for that purpose. but i'm just very reluctant for washington to try to tell you how to do that when nobody really knows how to do that. i just think it's much more lik

i have to do all these things to set up my business, i guess i'm going to do something else. point one, point two, you know, they are not -- so the users of cloud commuting don't have an easy access to american services. they don't have an easy access to the german cloud commuting start-up. and so all of the efficiencies that are supposed to come from that are not there. so you're throwing inefficiencies into supposedly an efficiency machine. last time i looked a to the european economic picture, it wasn't that great. by the own admission of european authorities. so they're kind of counterintuitive, that they would try to hurt it to -- >> or it may help part of their industry and hurt everybody downstream of that industry. it may help their cloud provider and hurt every start-up. and i don't know any start-ups that buy equipment anymore. they all set up on a web server, a web surface, like google or amazon. and it will be harder, if it costs more to have an all-german cloud, then german start-ups will have more trouble starting up without buying equipment. >> i think we've sta

would it be fair to say local 21 is here today as well and the private sector for pushing our city to do everything we can to get off oil. this is quality of height issues but has a practical fetish and the general manager knows this it allows the symphony to maintain the tickets prices for people like me. a world-class symphony has o to make that affordable to everyone in the city if it does its work in a smarter watt to enjoy 50 percent reduction in using the regular energy sources they have sea this is the story that will repeat itself over every municipal building those stories are up to 7.6 megawatts with the puc's leadership and we need to have that conversation was we do as well as we are in the municipal solar arena we're educating our private sectors and anothers to take i am the champ like dr. jackson did everyone should have that opportunity and the cost of the solar panels have come down. if we're smarter about your economics and use the money that is provided wisely we can allow people to do it i can every neighborhood wants to join our puc and wants to join people like dr.

i am ready and i want to do it and i am going to show up, what do i need to do and we have led them step by step, and not only that, we have city job opportunities funded readily available for them, and if they basically get to a point where they being employed, the point that i am making is, there is a lot of work, that is being done. and it is not just specific to a district, this is a city wide problem, there is a problem, when many of my friends, who i grow up with are dead are in jail, there is a problem in the city, when it is really difficult, when i am talking out, every single day and someone is looking for a job opportunity, or wondering what they can do or where they can live, in the city and county of san francisco. and this is not just a board of supervisors, problem, this is a city as a whole problem and this is a leadership problem and we can't be greety about me me me and my my my i want to basically do well with my business and not give back to do anything for anybody else. that is bigger issue here, when we are talking about the solutions we need to put it all out on th

we have more to do after that. habitabilityvelop modules, a lander, and so want to get to mars in the 20 30's -- and so on so we get to mars in the 20 30's. there is a test vehicle being built in louisiana. we are getting ready to do a test on that five segment solid rocket motor. it utilizes technology we have. it is efficient and cost-effective, utilizing shuttle maintenance -- main engines. we have 18 is stored from the main shuttle program at a space center. the solid rocket motor casings we have left over from the shuttle program. instead of four segments like the shuttle, there will be five segments to get more thrust. the diameter of the liquid core stage, hydrogen, like the space shuttle, is the same diameter as the shuttle external takes -- tanks. they are building a welding facility that will be the next step and they will have everything they need to complete holding -- holding this rocket -- building this rocket. it is phenomenal. at the top is the orion spacecraft. in the apollo era, we transitioned to

this now because you have the technology to do it? do you find yourself in a moment where you have enough and you want to see it in its entirety? >> i wanted to have a show in new york for quite some time. there are different opportunities and when the whitney came to me with the space -- >> the entire museum. >> which is fantastic. i have been working for many decades and i think we are showing about 35 years worth of work. and i have worked on different scales, but it was a chance to really bring everything together. i have shown a lot in europe, france, germany. i am kind of on the ground as an artist. i worked very closely with scott rothko. we worked very closely for five years. >> is not easy to put your stuff out because of size and weight and delicacy. an unique technology and a bunch of other things. >> the whitney was fantastic to work with. they never said no. i would like to show this work, they never said we can't do that. there is a problem with the budget or having that expense. >> how many months before they were insta

your leader a man has to do what a man has to do and a country has to do what a countryas to do. >> prime minister of israel has been spending a significant amount of time trying to be on television to explain to people what is going on. very different tactic what he's trying to do than other leaders are doing in addressing public opinion. >> he backs up his words, those with actions. but i also think to netanyahu's credit he's also not been so concerned with the pr fight as much as the palestinians have. the palestinians are experts at the pr fight. they specifically put little kids in front of weapons so when israel strikes back they can put those images on the cover of a newspaper and say look how bad israel is. it has been primarily a pr war. netanyahu says i'll fight back. i'll use actions and words to expose how what we were just talking about. this is what bothers me when leaders conflate christianity with islam. one is willing to die and kill children to advance a goal. christianity is peaceful, following the life of jesus which is not if your enemy provoex you t

what a man has to do. abbas, the head of hamas, is there any men among them with the courage to cut a cease fire deal right now? >> well, the cease fire deal is pretty easy. it's been clear for a long time that you don't have the leadership right now either on the israeli side or the palestinian side in order to do anything more than that. i think we are in a position of essentially waiting for new leadership on both sides in order to do anything more substantial on the peace process. israel does need to understand that although they may believe that they need two or three more days, if they continue to inflict this kind of civilian casualties, notwithstanding their legitimate military objective, that could be more dangerous for israel rather than less dangerous. in the long run, it will prolong this conflict and increase the ability of hamas to recruit into its ranks. i certainly understand that these tunnels provide an immediate danger that they have to take care of. they need to weigh that against the lo

we have to do right by the children. i have personally encountered enough of them to know we have to do right by the children. at the end of the day in the final analysis, our border is not open to illegal migration and we will stem the tide. >> does the president need to go to the border? should he visit when he goes there this week? >> the president can't be every place he'd like to be or even should be. i know the president receives daily updates from lisa monaco, his homeland security adviser on the white house staff, cecilia munoz, domestic policy council director, and myself. i have regularly briefed the president in oval office meetings, and we're doing a principles level meeting tomorrow morning. >> the broader issue of immigration reform, what the president can do without congress since congress is not going to get anything done. what is the one thing he'd like to do on his own to address the millions of illegal immigrants here in this country now? >> fix our broken immigration system. >> he can't do that by hims

it's one thing to talk about what we're going to do to reduce the deficit. it's another to do it. what we've seen in the house over the last six weeks is moving us in the wrong direction when it comes to reducing the deficit. on that point, we heard the chairman say that the average revenues as a percentage of gdp historically speaking is 17.5%. is that roughly right? >> that's right. >> i note that in your budget projections you say in the year 2024 revenues will be 18.3% of gdp and much farther out for the reasons you stated revenue would be 19.4% of gdp, is that right? >> yes. >> i would note that does not take into account the number of times we've actually balanced our budget historically, that's right? >> that's right. >> if you look at the actual four years we balanced our budget, revenue as a percent of gdp were considerably higher than they will be in 2024 and actually around the range that you project way out in 2039. in fact, in the year 2000 revenues percentage of gdp was 19.9%. >> yes. >> now, i note in your report that on page 20 that you're anticipating that the numb

tell them exactly what to do. and so this is a joint effort by mr. langford and myself to provide that flexibility in two different mechanisms. and to give the u.s. department of transportation the options of limiting it to just the number of states that they deem as appropriate so it will not be a burden on the system. but that's in a short -- in a nutshell. i've raised this question every year that i served on the budget committee for the 12 years i've served on the budget committee when i've had the secretaries of transportation come before my committee, whether it's republican or democrat, i would often ask them, can you tell me what exactly is the needs on route 519 in sussex county? and they of course said where is 519 in sussex county. i said, see, well that's a major road to us. but here in washington no one knows exactly what it is. yet washington is telling us how to grade it, how to put up guardrails, and how to do the rest. gosh, i think we have county engineers who are trained enough, smart enough, and

are they doing the things they ought to be doing? and i said, i got to tell you, there's some small things that have been done, but, no, congress is not doing the work of the people. and the work of the people at its core means that the laws, the federal laws that this place alone, the house and the senate and the president, have control over, those laws need to help the american people to be successful. it needs to be an environment for success, an environment for people to be able to say, hey, my kids and grandkids could have it better than i've got it because we see america on the upswing. that's not what we see today. the weakest economic recovery since the great depression. i talked about wages going down, not up. i talked about the higher cost of health care. i talked about the fact that we have now in this country a lot of people who are discouraged about the future. cnn did a poll recently and, you know, normally you ask a poll, do you think your kids and grandkids are better off than you? people say yeah, that's the american

and we anticipate being able to do that on time? >> my time is expired but it seems to me that the protecting the safety and health of your scientists, the moratorium and the lab closures appear to be the appropriate response. thank you, mr. chairman. >>> now recognize mr. barton for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. in answer to a previous question, dr. kingsbury raised the point about how many laboratories there are. the gao has indicated that there are probably too many laboratories. my first question would be to you, dr. frieden. why do we have so many laboratories, and are they all necessary? >> i dont know that there's a right number of laboratories out there. our job within cdc is to make sure we only work with dangerous pathogens where it's necessary to do that and that we do so safely. we will be taking a fresh look at everywhere we work with these pathogens internally at cdc to make sure it's kept to the minimum necessary to serve the function of responding to infectious disease outbreaks. we still have anthrax in n

what are lawmakers going to do? i'm going to talk to a key house republican next. >>> and israeli airstrikes exact a heavy price from palestinians in gaza. will it be enough to stop hamas militants from firing rockets into israeli cities? a live report just ahead. ♪ it elicits pride... ...incites envy... ♪ ...and unleashes wrath. ♪ temptation comes in many heart-pounding forms. but only one letter. "f". the performance marque from lexus. >>> what i emphasized to the governor was, the problem here is not a major disagreement around the actions that could be helpful in dealing with the problem. the challenge is, is congress prepared to act to put the resources in place to get this done? another way of putting it, and i said this directly to the governor is, are folks more interested in politics or are they more interested in solving the problem? >> that was president obama in texas where he met with governor rick perry. he gave lawmakers here in washington a really clear message. give the administration a $3.7 billion

so what do we want to do? we want to broaden who we serve because i think that based upon this housing crisis, we need to broaden who we serve. there are a lot of people who we need to help. we need to grow the pie. this is a theme that people repeated. yes, we need to grow the pie because we need the funding to increase affordable housing production. and we also need to be committed to continuing housing production for all income levels. so, how do we finances affordable housing today? so, right now, again, this is in part because you know, many of the folks in the public echoed a theme that we are not doing anything for affordable housing. i think that, as supervisors you passed the two 2-year budget just recently. this is from our two 2-year budget. this is what we are going to spend over the next two 2 years for affordable housing. that's not a small budget. i thank you very much for your contributions for making that happen and we will spend it wisely and create as much affordable housing as possible. >>

what we have to do.ne dissident voice does not make a divided caucus. unanimity is not ever our goal. consensus is. >> are you okay with the change occurring if that meant having a larger bill? >> i don't think it should be a priority, but i said it's not a deal breaker. what's important right now, time is important, and time means if we can pass this very soon. quite frankly, i think that the republicans would like to do worse, so if that's the path that they take, as long as we have the supplemental to have the due process, to haveñ÷ judg, to expedite the proceedings, then, you know, let's mitigate for that change with increased resources for due process and for more judges. >> where do you fall on it though personally? >> oh, i don't support it, but it's not -- again, it's not like -- no, in other words, there's an emergency -- there's a burning building. we have to put out the fire. i'm not going to have a conversation about the color of the buckets that the water is in. it's -- this is very big in t

and if he doesn't do it, i think he is going to face certain sanctions from the united states and theeal open question is what do europeans do? >> eleanor? >> whatever reluctancy europeans have had in following president obama's lead with putting sanctions on russia i think has been substantially reduced, if not erased. virtually every one of those european nations, and especially the dutch, they had 150 of their people on that plane, many european nationals, lot of pressure on them to respond. maybe whoever did this did not intend to get a commercial airliner, but nonetheless, the result is this tragic accident and somebody's going to have to take responsibility for it. and i think president obama's role here is to make putin own, own this, not let him get away with saying, oh, it was really the ukrainian government or whatever dodge he's going to put in. at the same time, the president's got to give him room to back down because he can stop what's going on in ukraine. only he can stop what's going on in ukraine. so he still has an important role to play. >> he's facing an enormous p
