see, i'm not trent, but i'm joyce. he just text me and he is on his way and he can speak to that issue. >> do you want us to -- i think it would be important to hear from him. >> yes. >> yeah. so why don't we take a short break and we'll wait for him. we'll take a quick >> great, we are back, the meeting is back in order. i'd like to welcome supervisor jane kim, who has joined the committee for this item. and at this point i'd like to ask the director of human services agency, mr. rory to come forward. we want to thank you and your staff for helping us put this hearing together. i think it's good to have this public dialogue and i appreciate your willingness to do that. what i'd like to know is jus to simply -- /tkp you -- if you can talk a bit about the proposed changes and the reasoning behind those changes and we'll take it from there. i apologize, before we begin, i do want to acknowledge that we have in the audience the director of the mayor's office of housing opportunity partnership and engagement [inaudible]. >

. >> and trent, from a defense attorney perspective, as you watch this play out, i mentioned other cases where you have 12 jurors. this is under 6 because it's not a capital punishment case. does your experience tell you when you have a tough case like this, do jurors tend to work things out more quickly because they're smaller, or does that not matter? >> a couple things. first of all, john, i think because they're sequestered, they tend to work things out differently. they haven't been home, they haven't seen their families, they haven't been able to tend to personal matters. i think they're going to take it seriously. but in terms of the fact this is such a high-profile case, i think they want to make sure they get it right. there's been every indication how this jury has conducted themselves during the deliberations as well as how they conducted themselves in open court that they're a very serious, meticulous group. i happen to think not only are are they well into their deliberations, i think they have a jury foreman, they've concluded how they're going to go through the evidence, a

trent, if you're sitting there, put yourself in this role. if you're the defense attorney and you're listening to the prosecution give that argument, it's the last thing really of substance besides the jury instructions that the jury hears, are you concerned that it's effective? >> of course i'm concerned. because, look, it's the last thing the jury is going to hear. it's going to resonate with the yur when they go back inhat room. what i'm also hoping is that the jury is going to take back one of the instructions that the court gives them. that is you can't decide this case on emotion and anger. you have to look at the facts of this case. remember, when it was the defense's turn to present their closing statement, they dissected the evidence almost with the -- the tactical precision of a doctor dissecting an going through a surgeon's heart. they really went through every piece of evidence. by contrast, it was the prosecutor that was asking this jury to use their emotion. to use their passion. to respond in a passionate way. to essentially no

i was happy to hear trent mention dv as a possible exception, but i think it speaks to the process that none of us knew that so more needs to be done. the immigration issue -- people are just scared to put their names on any kind of database. again, san francisco is very well meaning. i don't think we think we are turning names over to ice and people are being deported, but the reality is ice does find people that live in san francisco that are undocumented, they do consider being in this country without documentation a crime and they are being deported. it is an unintended consequence. i think with that our main concern is how would families know that this is going to be safe for them? i loved the point that one case manage /-r made about how concerned we are that families may stay in violent relationships because they're afraid they might never be able to come back to san francisco. we need to to more. >> my name's juliet, i work at the coalition of homelessness. i've been through services through compass, been in a shelter with my daughter and i've heard most things brought up alread

joining us now is trent seibert. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you, rachel.appreciate it. >> first of all, let me ask you if i have characterized the most important points of what's happened so far? >> you've nailed it, rachel. i mean, you've described it better than anyone here has. it's been crazy, it's been bizarre, it's been creepy, i wish i had a better explanation. i have been covering politics for 20 plus years and it's seeing something like this has been odd. >> well, you know, the thing that strikes me in terms of the details here, looking at that lawyer who was making the detailed case about what he supposedly said in the elevator about underpants at work? we're getting these details, but that's a lawyer making that case. and donna is saying she's heard from these specific women, how come none of this has turned into formal complaints, lawsuits or charges at this point? >> two things, i think it will soon. i think any moment we're going to see a lawsuit filed or claims filed that will lead to a lawsuit. i think that's happening any minute. it could

and from trent lott i could not believe it. >> host: abcaeight. fine a point. go ahead. i need your final point. >> that you very much. >> appreciate the call. ed murphy's office sent out that tweet. he will be sworn in tomorrow morning as vice president joe biden, that will be the very first or business. well happen to:00 eastern time. live coverage on c-span2. next is san joining us from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. independent line. good evening. >> caller: thank you. i every with the last caller's comments. to the comment i wanted to make was i find it interesting that the state represented it by the senators who are doing this filibuster stuff at the same states that filibuster the human rights legislation for black people. and there was no ridge about that at all. but what is interesting now is that the same states represented by the senators to block human-rights for black people in the 50's and 60's in the '40's by the same people who are blocking appointments for the first black president of the estates, and i don't think that is a coincidence. that's my comment. t

as les trent reports word is that she pulled the plug. >> it's finally over for george clooney and stacyple split after two years of dating, and people.com reports it was actually stacy who dumped george. >> she wants to have children some day, and george famously has said that does he not want to settle down, does he not want kids, and so she had to end the relationship. >> clooney was photographed over the july 4th holiday weekend with his buddies at his italian villa in lake como, italy. stacy was nowhere in sight. people.com says it was a a friendlily split. >> they're still very friendly. they're going stay friends and keep this amicable. >> a hint of trouble came on january 10th when stacy tweeted, trying times are not the times to stop trying. george is an avowed batch loss,

the engines at heathrow were rolls-royce trent engines. and you're right. they determined that it flew through a really severely cold portion of the atmosphere. and it was a very complex investigation. they'll look at this as well. but i think -- i think they'll move on from that. but certainly they will look back at flight 38. at that investigation. and see if there were any similar tipoffs that something was happening in the engines where they weren't responding the way the pilots requested. >> peter, finally, when do we get the final answers? how long does this process take? when will we know a definitive cause of what happened? >> i think what will happen you'll see a series of what they call factual reports that will be issued periodically over the next six weeks to two months. then it's likely that the ntsb will hold a public hearing on this accident. and then a report within a year or 18 months. i mean, one of the big issues here and one of the real stories is the survivability. that the flight attendants and the cabin crew were able to get 305 peopl

then there was another attack on trent attempted assassination in the series of events, as well as flight 858, for example, way up into the 1980s. so that period is about the struggle between north and south korea. the attempt was to pray them from starting another korean war. of course the last phase is the post-cold war period area in and the geopolitical situation changes. the end of the cold war. the end of the soviet union. here north korea's economy goes into a terrible famine. so then it is north korea and the world. the nuclear issue becomes the issue for this lady free of the war. so in this they are all linked because they are part of this. it is a legacy. so the reasons for the korean war have not really change. that is one of the second thing that we have talked about. in which there is an ongoing conflict between north and south korea for legitimacy. that is why it started in the first place. we wanted to unify the south under his control. welcome in the various phases. >> host: the war is a continuous and unfinished business between north and south korea, but in the context,

this speech, part of a series of speeches by former leaders of the senate that senate majority leader trent lott organized, mike phone and it was mike mansfield. he said, i've been asked to give a speech for this series. what should i talk about. well, i knew about the famous 1963 speech on the nature of leadership that he never gave. he did stick it in the record at the time. i said senator why don't you give that and shape it a little bit. he did. it was the first in a series of speeches on leadership. they're all on the senate website. it was a blockbuster. >> we hear a lot today about how this is the meanest time in history in the united states senate and house of representatives. i will read back to you what's in this book. it's not something that you put in, it's got a footnote. clay hated jackson and calhoun, betton hated calhoun, calhoun hated clay and jackson and john quincy adams hated webster. jackson hated calhoun and clay. it allowed them to converse with one another at all. >> i looked into that. that was a very powerful statement. i didn't realize the hatred one example of jo

matteo trent holds off michael abalsini of switzerland. was overall leader chris froome, froome still leads by nearly 2.5 minutes. >>> yesterday marie sharapova announced that she fired thomas hvgstedt her coach of nearly three years. sharapova is ranked notch 2 in the world, but stalled out recently, bowing out of wimbledon in the second round. if she wants some fire her new coach might be the one to provide it. sharapova has hired jimmy connors. indycar drivers in toronto for the first of two races this weekend. they tried the traditional formula one style start, but when one car stalled, they excited to restart it racecar style. scottdoxin continued his hot streak and passes sebastian bourdais. two straight wins for dixon and they run one more tomorrow. heliao castro castroneves remains the points leader. >> the team really needed a spark and knew they have won three in a row in san diego. >> we have a quick correction. the next televised america's cup race is set for july 21st. people are gathering at frank ogawa plaza in oakland in pr

we're hearing marco rubio will introduce a senate version of 20-week van to go with trent franks' version in the house. attached to the 20-week bans are the attacks on the clinics, themselves. what does it mean to require a clinic to say, have, admitting privileges? why is that actually a that? why shouldn't we think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do? there there are a couple of reasons why these are t.r.a.p.s. t.r.a.p., sometimes we use it as an acronym. look at the motivation behind i law. why would you require admitting for abortions and not for something else that's done regularly every day in an outpatient clinic? it's not necessarily necessary. you're doing it to make sure abortion providers can't continue to do abortions. abortion has the highest safety record of any surgical procedure in the country. it has one of the lowest complication rates. it almost never results in someone needing to two to the hospital. admitting privileges are really hard to get. >> right. >> for a variety of reasons. you pass one of these laws and you shut down the clinic. >> there's other ways in

and there are 777s equipped with rolls royce trent series engines.and those number -- the pratt and whitney engine entered service in june of 1995. we had our organizational meeting today. we talked about site securement since the accident. we have received excellent cooperation from san francisco airport 0 kishls with respect to securing the accident site since the accident and during the overnight hours. airport emergency operations were activated. and today they were in the process of removing any hazmat or any materials from the site that could be of risk to our investigators and responders. so they are doing that today. we have received excellent support from the fbi, both here in san francisco and from teams that have traveled from quantico. the response team is helping us document the site and teams from the field office that are here to help us, as well as hazmat experts from the fbi. we are receiving excellent support of our federal, state and local partners. we really appreciate that. we have worked very hard to get 28 right cleared and reo

we saw it just a couple months ago in the house when congressman trent franks held a hearing with an all-male congressional panel about a bill to propose a nationwide ban on abortion after 20 weeks. there was, of course, last year's infamous all-male witness panel at a house hearing on contraception coverage under obama care. and who, of course, can forget the classic iconic president bush in 2003 signing the partial birth abortion ban bill surrounded by a bevy of beaming dudes? sunday night, ohio governor john kasich placed himself firmly in the shameful tradition signing a bill that requires abortion providers to perform an ultrasound on any woman seeking abortion and requires the doctor not only to inform the woman if a fetal heartbeat is found and ask her if she'd like to listen to it. reprioritizes funding, almost surely resulting in drastic cuts for family planning group, and get this, cuts public funding for rape crisis clinics if they counsel rape victims on abortion options. think about that, you're a rape victim, walk into a rape crisis center and the counselor cannot talk

but some house republicans, including the man chairing thursday's hearing, trent franks, one of just 33 lawmakers to vote against renewal in 2006, some of those republicans say there's not enough discrimination today to justify the supervision in the voting rights act. so we think there's at least two key questions facing the hearings. on policy, how can congress update enforcement to satisfy the court? on the politics, what can actually be done to get congress to take action on this issue? well, for the policy piece, we've got a law professor and the author of "ghosts of jim crow." to talk about the politic, adam green, co-founder of the progressive change campaign committee. thank you, both, for being here. >> good to join you. >> michael, i want to start with you and look specifically at how you can react to what justice roberts held in this shelby decision. essentially, congress was using old data to conquer a modern problem. and it needs to update the data. one question here, and we'll put this occuup on the screen for y can congress, a, simply update some of the numbers and dat

20-week abortion ban with hey, guys, surprise, surprise, an all male panel headed up by congressman trento the exile in guyville scene in texas this morning has become a pretty typical thing in republican politics of late. but so has the reaction to these kinds of bills outside of republicanland and outside of guyville. the new texas antiabortion bill to radically reduce access to abortion and women's health care in texas of course lit up state politics and a good part of national politics, too. the texas bill brought thousands of people to the state capitol in austin to protest and rally and give testimony. people filling the state capitol rotunda inside. spilling on to the lawn outside. all while senator, state senator wendy davis stood for 11 hours to filibuster the antiabortion t.r.a.p. law that had been shoved through in the first special legislative session called by governor perry for that purpose. when the bill's supporters were thus forced to explain themselves, the bill's own sponsor ended up saying things like this on the record. >> you have hospital emergency rooms. we have fu

website you noted that hearings are being led in the judiciary committee on the constitution headed by trent franks there. one of only 33 republicans who voted against reauthorizing the vote rights in 2006 and you had noted 390 members voted for it there. so does this already spell doom? >> i don't think it spells doom. i think he's a minority of a minority of the members of congress who did pose this as the last time. as the congresswoman pointed out this has strong bipartisan support. i spoke last night to the democratic ranking member on that same committee and he said basically look with all due respect to congressman franks this is above his pay grade. this is a big question for the republican party for people like john boehner and eric cantor and today's hearings are just a start of a debate that while it has split the republican party to some degree there have been some reasonable republicans left in the building. >> the concern the supreme court had is with that 1965 law. based on old data. it as simple as updating the data then? >> it's a great question. look there's one way to do i

when trent lott was the republican leader, there were two individuals that had a very would trustingelationship. the relationships between majority leaders and minority leader since then have not worked out very well. it is a reflection of the larger tensions and polarization of our politics. host: republicans then were able to unseat about daschle -- bob daschle. guest: we saw a very long change. bill frist q succeeded trent lott actually went into south dakota to campaign against his counterpart. now you have mcconnell furious because he believes that he reread is interfering with his election. rune is a super pac being by people who used to work for reaid in kentucky. host: republicans add large numbers of amendments to bill as another or my filibuster. james, you are up next, massachusetts, republican. wasn't i wanted to ask it the unions have put pressure on the president to elected these three people to the labor board? guest: there's no no question the unions have a very real the nationalng labor relations board that is functioning. one of the nominees was a chief counsel for

obama said trent lott could have been -- trayvon could have been him 35 years ago. he could have suffered the same fate, too. people perjured themselves by saying the telephone call that ended with the shot was george zimmerman. we all know it was trayvon martin. george zimmerman was deciding whether to shoot or not to shoot. we all know that he shot. also, the case was lost and jury selection. no blacks, no chance. guest: there were blacks, but it just did not work out. i want to go back to something eric holder said, the attorney general. i love the fact that he said he counsels his son. as a father, he knows more about the world. it only makes the argument for the importance of having a father in the household. george zimmerman's case was not about stand your ground. but the attorney general was pandering because he realizes he cannot bring a hate crime case because the bar is so high. that is what gave the president leeway to talk about this case and put it in the proper context. the department of justice is not going any further. the jury made its decision and

equipped with g.e. 90 series engines, 721 of those and there are triple 7's equipped with rolls royce trenties begins and those in numbers are 223. the pratt and whitney engine entered service in june of 1995. we had our organizational meeting today. we talked about the site secure and we received excellent cooperation from san francisco airport officials with respect to securing the accident site since the accident and during the overnight hours, airport emergency operations were activated. today they were in the process of removing any hazmat or any materials from the site that could be of risk to our investigators in and responders. so they are doing that today. we have received excellent support from the f.b.i., both here in san francisco and from teams that have traveled from quantico, the evidence response team is helping us document the accident site. we also have teams from the field office that are here to help us as well as hazmat experts from the f.b.i. we are receiving excellent support from our federal, state and local partners. we really appreciate that. we've worked very hard

one of the few knew trents with patent protection in the united states so it's a really up and cominging at the health insurance now, are they catching on to this and realizing? they don't know that it's a big problem or don't want to deal with if, or what's the problem? >> the insurance companies are overwhelmed trying to say no to everything. not looking at what's cost effective? connell: because of the changes? >> embattled with obama's health care changes, an aging population, many different things. they are trying to just say no. if they were smart about it, they would go ahead and look at what's most cost effective and say, we're going to cover x dollar per person a year on average. if it doesn't make the cost effective cuts, it's not covered, but they don't have the courage to be honest about it. connell: just preventing and using simple methods would save us money, but, again, they are tough to quantify, but a lot is common sense, seems like. you know, move around, eat right, get enough sleep, move around, don't stare at the screens, stuff, but we don't do it for whatever reas

when trent lott was the majority leader, a republican, he did it ten times in five years.george mitchell, a democrat majority leader, did it three times in six years, and majority leader robert c. byrd, who was an institution to himself here in the senate, he did it three times in two years. and finally, senator bob dole of kansas, the majority leader, a republican, did it seven times in three and a half years. so my point is, not to bore people with statistics, but just to point out that the senate has changed dramatically under the tenure of the current majority leader in a way that members of the senate are blocked from offering amendments to legislation in the interests of their constituents. as majority leader, senator reid has denied those rights to the minority and the rights of the people we represent. when he refuses to let us offer amendments and debate those amendments, he refuse toss let us have a real debate, and he is effectively gagging millions of our constituents. one more time, i'd like to remind senator reid what he promised six years ago. he said -- "as

whether it was trent lott's to strom thurmond back in 2002. >> i want to say this about my state.an for president, we voted for him. we're proud of him. and for the rest of the country to follow our lead we wouldn't have all these problems over all these years, either. >> even rand paul's own comments in 2010 about the public accommodation clause of the 1964 civil rights act. >> would you have voted for the civil rights act of 1964? >> i like the civil rights act in the sense that it ended discrimination in all public domains and i'm all in favor of that. but, you had to ask me. but i don't like the idea of telling private business owners. i think it's a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant, but at the same time, i do believe in private ownership. >> look, this is not a way of saying that everyone in the republican party is a racist or all southern republicans are nursiing grudges. there have been republicans who have grappled head on with their party's post civil rights act tr strategy. far too many republicans who haven't. rand paul said he's not one of

more over by the end of the decade with inflation expectations with high estimates of trent low interest rates. as you know, under the leadership of chairman volcker and the reserves in 1979 in shares price stability. this involves thinking on the part of policy makers. by the end of the '70s fed officials accepted that you that inflation was a monetary phenomenon in the medium and long term and they became more alert about the economy's potential outlook in place renewed emphasis between real inflation-adjusted nominal rates. the stage of the policy framework was initially tied to operating procedures to focus on the bank reserves but the critical change is the willingness to respond to inflation and toured after they assumed a the fed funds rate. >> as the improved importance to secure with the credibility of the central bank for the expectation. finally also would change of view about the mandates with the price stability for sustained maximum. that that set the stage for moderation. brendon angeles is responsibility responded with a financial system was upset such as the stock market

interesting if i had, excuse me, i haven't asked them yet, but i think george mitchell, democrat, trent lott, republican, i think that would be a great opportunity for our caucus to talk about how they view the senate. so we're going to have more joint caucuses, we're going to try to, i repeat, try to talk to each other than past each other. >> senator, can you talk about -- senator, on the floor you talked about senator mccain breaking his rule and in the process -- [inaudible] could this have been done without him? [inaudible] >> maybe. [laughter] john john mccain and i have worked together for a long time. i've worked with him 31 years. and we've had some pretty difficult times together. but in the 31 years we've worked together, there is no one i have ever worked with that is more a man of his word or person of his word than john mccain. so maybe we could have gotten it done without him. i've answered the question. >> [inaudible] >> uh-huh. >> you confident you'll get up or down votes on the three nominees for the d.c. circuit court? >> we'll take those one at a time. we're talking

retrogressive language and we need people like vin who are moderate but your party won't let people like trent to be elected and that's why the congressional leadership has an even lower popularity rating than the president. >> i love how the easy charge is the tea party. that's not right. marco rubio is tea party, you know. jeb bush appreciates the tea party. there's a difference between the tea party leadership and the tea party sentiment. this concern that grew up in 2009 and 2010 and reaction to present obama's policy, in response to the trend for and is rising amount of debt and the theory that some always been our way to prosperity, brought back into politics are brought into politics for the first time a lot of ordinary americans were deeply concerned about these. the tea party movement has been taken over in some respect, not a lot, not all that for some of it by people who, have other gems in a been around for a long time. i love the tea party sentiment. i had a book to her about 2010. i did 110 cities in 90 days. people come to the aisle and it would be giving me design the book to t

this reform they are trent to do aw, is basically putting band-aid on a gunshot wound.do not think both parties are serious at all about having a true solution. host: that was rudy in california. ron on twitter says the lead story in "the usa today" -- quite a dramatic change from a couple of years ago. arthur is a republican in north carolina. arthur, what do you think about immigration reform? i am really for real immigration reform. it consists of the following freeze allnts -- immigration and visas for 50 years with no exceptions, and second, export our illegals i paying americans to transport them by land, sea, and air, recall and void all present visas. the last element should be to find all-american employers and landlords can thousand dollars employers andn landlords $10,000. if democrats and republicans do not do this, they are ffcessories to the illegal stu going on in our government. they are not doing what the american people want them to do. real, comprehensive, american immigration reform. host: arthur, what do you think about the argument that some republ

i can see that there will be multiple champions and trent champions of his side of the aisle. have been interested in following the work that you're doing on endowments and talking with david rubenstein. david mcdonald from the friends of leucadia is also going to talk about the endowment that they managed cornet with you all to fund maintenance of the historic carriage roads at the national park. a question to you is as we get into this, what is your take on how to generate the most appeal with respect to endowments. from the seat of my pants, it makes more sense to look, perhaps, at maintenance projects at individual parks, rather than to try to establish a large nationwide endowment. but that may well not be the way to proceed. do you have a judgment on that? >> yes, sir, i do. let me talk about this for a moment. the national park service is an institution with perpetuity mission that we have to live on an annual amount. we have a perpetuity mission, many groups do, whether the university, museum, they all have endowments for the national park service does not. i identifie

a obama said trent lott could have been -- trayvon could have been him 35 years ago. could have suffered the same fate, too. people perjured themselves by saying the telephone call that ended with the shot was george zimmerman. we all know it was trayvon martin. george zimmerman was deciding whether to shoot or not to shoot. we all know that he shot. case was lost and jury selection. no blacks, no chance. there were blacks, but it just did not work out. i want to go back to something eric holder said, the attorney general. i love the fact that he said he counsels his son. as a father, he knows more about the world. it only makes the argument for the importance of having a father in the household. george zimmerman's case was not about stand your ground. but the attorney general was pandering because he realizes he caseot bring a hate crime because the bar is so high. that is what gave the president leeway to talk about this case and put it in the proper context. the department of justice is not going any further. the jury made its decision and we should move on. the he
