with 11 of us sitting here, 59 years of cumulative experience on the sand and it is board of supervisors. 59 years. on january 8, at 12:00 noon, we will lose that experience. 24 years of cumulative experience left on the board of supervisors. that is a 60% decrease. forgetting that, let's go to the opinion of our people legal counsel. if you take a look, there are a couple of points i want to extract. i believe this is word for word. the legislative process could begin immediately after the result of the november 2 election. the board may follow its current board rules for making appointments. if you look back at the previous times the board has done this, they have done this with existing rules. this is basically the same charter because the 32 chartered did not change the process for appointing a vacancy. the board does have the option of using a committee for purposes of appointing a successor mayor. these are three points straight from legal opinion. this is the process that supervisor avalos and supervisor campos move forward to instigate this conversation. it is true that we were n

set a date that means we're going to leave me if the american people don't believe they're for us sitting here being critical because if also if you look at the example of iraq right robert gates secretary defense said that well you know what if the iraqis say that they still need us then perhaps we'll say screw the deadline we can stay a little bit longer so let's just say that the exact same thing isn't going to happen here ten days here after president obama announced that we were pulling out in august ten days later in al jazeera it was it was an hour the chief of the iraqi joint staff general bob uecker said. the americans should not pull out for another ten years until until two thousand and twenty another ten years and then he said if someone at the asked me for my opinion i would have told him they need to stay for another ten years meaning nobody asked him for his opinion he's the chief of the iraqi joint staff and then if you look at afghanistan i mean we're basically going through the same thing secretary gates made a comment yesterday i believe well you know we pulled out of afghan

c-span: now, what -- if i had a sunni sitting here with us and a -- and a shi'ite sitting here, could you tell the difference to looking at them? >> guest: probably not. if you had a cleric, two clerics, you could because the shi'a clerics dress differently than the sunni clerics. but as long as they're arabic-speaking, you know, that they are very much the same people because they all had their origins in the arabian peninsula. and the reason that you have sunnis and shi'a in iraq in the arab population is that when these migrations occurred in the late 19th century, they -- the people who were in charge of the major shi'a shrines in iraq, which is najef and karvala, were persians. they had -- they had come from iran, and they controlled those areas. and they were feeling that they needed to have some power on the ground, some military power, and so they actually went out as missionaries to these arab tribes who were coming in to mesopotamia and actually made alliances with them which very often were political alliances or economic alliances. and the third thing they did was they add

all of us sitting here talking about this have the luxury of never having lost a son or daughter in iraqeterans day. the war in iraq, the way it was conducted at the beginning, the invasion of iraq was an unmitigated disaster. history might judge it differently, 20, 30 years from now, it might indeed turn out to be a beneficial move for the middle east and world at large. you're right, a larger explanation would have been more -- would have been better for george w. bush as well as the country to have heard that from him last night. >> it would have gone a long way, mika, i think, bringing together a divided country. i remember, i'm sure you remember, and i know harold is there and you want to ask him a question, i remember after the president's first four years, people asked him, did you make any mistakes and he couldn't think of one mistake he made. i tell you, i don't go through four hours without knowing i screwed up. >> that's correct. >> you don't have to agree so quickly. >> i need to take corrective action. that's what makes us better, being self aware of the mistakes we make and

wondering what the fuck are you doing here and he was sitting on top of the sherman tank and the corals all round this bright yellow red blue car all was all around us and here was this kid very happily sitting on top of the sherman tank and that's a dream that i had for years. i had told my wife. if i start threshing round but just leave the bread because i get. back kind of crazy i'm not aware of it but anyway. she she knew when i made those morning sounds i couldn't talk because of i began to speak i would drown i would swallow water. later that day leon visited the residence of john and molly brown so she showed a movie about the battle for tara prior to a tour of the sites. just tired. of hearing couch. that's three. player. plays. over the years the browns have collected munitions in their back yard a number of shells are still alive. that's right in the river just for these are. from a drive in thirty six from american history office is still along our power line yet you said you don't kick it and play for an hour when i'm right those are dangerous shells and weapons of all shapes and sizes a majority of them american constantly turn up on ba

us. >> anderson, we can sit here and talk about how he's going to govern in terms of with republicans.ut one of his biggest issues is really his own base. i mean, when you look at the difficulty that the president has had in trying to deal with progressives and trying to get them excited, if you look at even young voters, the polling data in terms of last year's election in virginia, in massachusetts, in new jersey, you also see the difficulty they've had in trying to get them excited, he has to confront the reality of what does he say to his face after 2008? now how do you operate after 201 # 1? >> you don't see him doing what president clinton did? >> no. there are several things that he had to do. >> it's not doing the clinton, do anything like bill clinton. what he can do is say, i'm not changing. americans have changed. i work with him and guess what, now you've sent me this other congress that wants to cut spending and do something about the deficit. i'm going to work with them. i think republicans want to be prepared to confront that president because the basis that has gotten h

if you look at those of us who are sitting here today on the earth, we are subject to the gravitational earth. - mm-hmm. - but if we were sitting on the moon, we would be subject to the gravitational pull of the moon. - mm-hmm. - the only reason that the earth's gravity has been overtaken by the gravity of the moon is not because the earth's gravity stopped, but another gravitational force became more important. - mm-hmm. because we got closer to it. - we got closer to it. to me, a really effective leader has to know when, "hey, i'm no longer on the earth; i'm now on the moon, and i am subject to a different set of gravitational laws and business laws". different pull and push. one of the key, key components of leadership is to know when to step down. - yes, i couldn't agree more. that is something in common with politics, isn't it? - not if you check... - many examples come to mind. - well, i can think of a few who... maybe we should have told them it's time to step down. i don't think that charisma is really what we should be looking for in our leaders. there is a charismatic componen

we would not be here if it were not from the parks department, with federal stimulus dollars that came to us from the fda. the project had been sittingf for quite some time here at the agency, and we were fortunately able to fast for this project through our partnership with the mtc and the clipper program, through federal stimulus dollars that were presented to us by president obama's economic recovery program. it was clearly a partnership that got us here today, and it is i guess a signal of future unveilings we will be doing over the next couple of months over the -- with other projects that will be coming to fruition. we started this work a few years ago as it related to the clipper card. we started work as it relates to the trolley buses being rehabilitated. we have a host of projects that we are implementing at this time to get our system in a good state of repair, and today is just one of them. with that, i would like to turn it over to our regional administrator -- regional fta. >> i am especially pleased to join you here today and celebrate this wonderful partnership. this project has been forwarded with $11 million of feder

author of the american way of war how bush's wars became obama's sir thank you for sitting down with us today good to be here i'd like us to start off by taking a look at the extent of the u.s. military presence throughout the world right now it's global i mean that's the first thing you can say the pentagon is a little hard to tell in detail the pentagon usually admits to about yearly to about eight hundred military bases or sites from macro to micro but in their count they don't include anything in a war zone and that tom dispatch you know we've done some reporting for instance on the afghan war the present afghan war zone where we have upwards of four hundred bases again from tiny combat outposts to enormous basically american towns with boardwalks with fast food joints and whatever that we just built more or less from scratch and there are certain countries where the countries are embarrassed that their military bases there it's really hard to say i mean eight hundred to a thousand maybe more depending on what you're counting it's an awful lot it's an imperial presence of a kind i don't think we've ever

all five of us were sitting here at this date in 2000 -- if all five of us were sitting here, everyone but me would have said the energy bill is dead. yet in 2007, the energy bill passed with the biggest mandate on fuel economy in the history of the world. five major mandatory programs with broad bipartisan support, nancy pelosi joining with george bush, and if that was six weeks from now, this can happen. i want to put your piece in context. when i look back over the last four years, and you look at what the states have done on a bipartisan basis, and you look at what the federal government has done on incentives, technology programs, and mandates, it is quite stunning. we have a price on carbon. is just not in a cap and trade bill. so or is $400 a ton. when is about $90 a ton. -- solar is about 400 dollars a ton. ethanol is $200 a ton. we have lots of pricing with policies, incentives, and mandates. it is not very well organized and it is not doable. anything we want to achieve it needs do ability. in the absence -- you get a hodgepodge of what we are facing. if you talk to republica

states is like north korea in the way it's going so you're saying you're saying you're sitting here you're talking with us thank you martin lee said anything to bring this program i've let you guys go ok i mean again it's about management of the economy here and currency flows as doug has pointed out go ahead enter. oh i'm sorry i. don't know when to compare it compares to north korea and the united states and it's i was just talking about you know doug was talking about you know he brought up the you know the sanctity of savings and why should people have a right right to their savings or right interest and i was saying like look we'll take it to a job as an extreme example but look what happens in a place like north korea where all of a sudden their savings get wiped out overnight because of government policy and they want to spend new money into the economy i mean how could you possibly justify that obviously you can't but that's that's the that policy to take into an excuse extreme. now in terms of his point about korea is probably desperation you. know i'm not i'm not i mean you brought up who has a

there are times where we will be accused of working to close with them and the difference of us sitting herethe old joke about which one is different, it is just because we aren't a government actor and these folks are. as a province of regulator, one of the things we enjoy about that status is quite frankly we pursue our investigations without certain constitutional restrictions so for example if and individual is summoned to the testimony and they choose not to they can be expelled from membership and lose their right or their ability to be a broker. this fifth amendment does not apply in our forum. so worried to lose that ability, in other words, deemed to be a state actor because we were so intertwined with david's folks in an investigation and were really acting hand in glove through us to acquire certain testimony or evidence and so forth that obviously that would raise the issue of whether in a particular case in individual who was expelled love for failing to assess a lie, whether that was appropriate. there has been litigation about. frank watch on the most serious in that litigatio
