commissioner wald. >> yes. i would like to nominate commissioner arce to serve another year as chairman of this commission. i have in the past made it clear i don't think there is kind of like a lifetime appointment and that it should be rotated among interested people. but i've also taken a position that more than one year is needed to really do this job with maximum efficiency and efficacy. that's one of the reasons why i would like to nominate commissioner arce for another year. i would also like to say that i have really appreciated his enthusiasm and his new ideas for the commission and the department, and i think we have benefited from those. and last but not least, i think it is important that we maintain a measure of civility at the commission at a time when there is so much change going on in the department. and i think that we can best serve the needs of the department -- well, maybe not -- that may not be the best thing we can do, but one of the best things we can do is to keep him on as our leader.

environment code and the legislative digest and fact sheet sponsors the commissioner wald. the speaker is [speaker not understood] policy communications director. this is a discussion item. >> this is one of the people that's been very interested in pushing this for a long, long time. i'm delighted to have it in front of us and welcome staff to give us an update. >> commissioners, guillermo rodriguez. before you is the support resolution that was presented at the policy committee. the committee debated the item, amended the resolution, and it now stands before you for action on the full commission. a couple of key things just to share. since the policy committee a couple of keon endorsements that have come in. i understand from the supervisors' office that the sierra club officially came out and endorsed the ordinance as well as proposed. in addition, the item is come -- is going before the small business commission for discussion, and the department itself is reaching out to event organizers to provide more information about the ordinance and help explain the provisions in

. >> commissioner wald? >> i just wanted to observe that, with cal's help at the last meeting of the policy committee, we gannon effort which will be continued at our next meeting to develop some recommendations for priorities for the department to pursue among the various strategies that will be laid out in the document. and we voted to recommend that the number one strategy that be pursued was achieving 100% renewable energy. and like i said, we're going to be continuing that conversation at our next meeting with the notion of helping the department focus its resources going forward on a limited number of the very long and excellent list of options that are available to us. and to all of us, commissioner gravanis unfortunately had to leave. but to those of us who remained, commissioner arce and myself and josefowitz, it was clear from the pie chart and other materials that y'all have provided us, excellent materials, i should say, that, you know, that investing in that single strategy is where we're going

commissioner wald. >> thank you for that report. it was very encouraging, and i congratulate you very sincerely on the progress that you made. i had just two questions. the first is, is the list of green vehicles publicly available? in other words, is there a way to make people in san francisco who might need to buy a new car or replace a car, if they could benefit from the work that you've done to identify green vehicles? >> i'm going to let bill answer that. >> we'd be happy to share it. the most limiting factor is what's on contract, but the city is already contracted with. i wear another hat called clean cities, daily clean cities, and we have access to a lot of data through the united states department of energy websites that we can share with the public to help them make those kind of decisions. >> we might want to think about doing something like that. not that we want to promote car use, but that we do want to ensure that when people buy cars, that they buy the best cars that are available. that's an idea. and i did want to

. >> we're going to lose commissioner wald. >> i had the same questions for everyone. i just want to say as someone who participated in the last search that i really appreciate the attention that you have given -- all of you have given so far to engaging the full commission to the maximum extent possible. that was one of the criticisms that my fellow commissioners gave me the last time around, that we did not engage them enough. already with the search firm talking to the commissioners, i think we have exceeded the amount of, you know, interaction. we had the last time -- i think there may be more things that you can do and that you can do them -- you can do them legally, including possibly or potentially circulating the applications of candidates. but, so, i just want to encourage you to explore those things. a month or is it two months, is a short period of time in figuring out how to do it and bringing people along is going to be a challenge. but i'm glad that you are committing yourselves to doing that and i look forward to seeing what strategies you come up with t

what he means like by was easy but that was walt was involved in our intelligence community and oz wald when he got picked up new i think he knew why he was getting picked up out of the corps ok let me see this to unite. he's an interesting word here not just saying i'm innocent we'll wait if you know patsy exactly that means i'm being set up here right that's not a normal response from somebody i've brought in many muslim be picked up by a car and he wasn't let's talk about the movie theater ok all they knew was that a guy went in that theater and didn't buy a ticket ranters because you know a guy across the street saw him sneak in the side and go in and he called the police now imagine you're the police dispatcher that's all they know the president was killed an hour ago officer tippit was killed roughly a half hour ago you get a call about a guy at the afternoon matt made at the texas theater doesn't buy a ticket yet what was sent there chen's cars twenty four cops in the news media to film it for a guy who didn't buy a ticket to get him that's all they know they have a film coming o

if the evidence didn't go to oz wald the warren commission never sought and one case in point mr newman who i met during my t.v. show he's the guy you'll see of the zapruder film lying on the ground covering his children he was physically the closest man to the fatal head shot eyewitness saw the whole thing the warren commission never even talked to him he told me he said again and then the whole right while he said it came over his shoulder where he was behind the note was written only admit as well was shooting no oh then you're off no ok i don't necessarily because i don't think ignore i'm not wrong let me bring up collins however there he could not make it to the lunchroom and buy a coke in the length of time but i had an officer in the building and i got into his plane is to me and then and there was a witness. just explain this one thing to me or i interviewed the policeman who arrested oswald in the movement the it up after tippit you green shot tippit no you don't think oh no you know why i don't agree that we let me explain there were shell casings on the ground there oswalt wa

this meeting will help inform thoughts and i've had -- i think i had heard from maybe commissioner wald had given me some ideas. so, ideas from her and ideas here today i think give a clear sense of what to propose and i've already proposed to the commission president some of those ideas. they wanted to hear the 100% renewable energy discussion, where our rules and responsibilities overlapped. the catalyst from puc, they were talking about look at food waste and someone says, well, turning food waste into energy. and then someone says, hey, let's go talk to the department of environment and the environment commission. >> there's a whole biofuels component to what they do that overlaps with what we do. >> that would be worthwhile. >> um-hm, that's a waste issue as well where they do their grease cycle program. we're looking at various ways of turning whatever is left into energy into some pilot programs. it would be worthwhile to talk to jack macy in our zero waste program and work with the puc and where we could potentially work with the sfpuc. >> thanks. commissioner josefowitz? >> i t

joining us now is assemblyman lou green wald, the majority leader in the new jersey state assembly, the top democrat in the assembly, also a member of the newly created select committee on investigations. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> the bergen record, this is late breaking. they're reporting tonight based on a single source that the subpoenas issued by your committee today include bridget anne kelly and the governor's spokesman and campaign manager bill steppien? can you tell us if that is accurate? >> i can tell you lone source is not accurate based on what i heard the first 15 minutes of your show. and the assembly committee we formed and the leadership group was on your show yesterday. we had a list much longer than three people. we have used our special counsel, though, to determine who else should be added to that list, maybe some of the organizations that you referenced earlier and you heard the chairman speak about earlier on your show today. the reality is, it's as important who you subpoena and the order in which they receive the subpoenas and when

i like jim wald welcaldwell. the capitals are sinking fast, guys.hree players have demanded to the traded. they won once in their last six games. adam oates is mixing and matching lines, trying to find a spark but nothing seems to be working. caps trying to get it together versus the hurricanes tonight. second period, caps already down a goal. alex ovechkin hasn't scored in four games. if sneaks this puck in. they take a three 3-2 lead. they tie it up. that's jeff skinner off the rebound. we're tied at 3-3. head to overtime. a little over a minute in o.t. tries this behind the back pass. it doesn't get there. and it leads to a 3:01 break for the hur takens. we mentioned jeff skinner, well, this is the hat trick for skinner. the caps lose it 34-3 in overtime. >> they're a transition team that takes off. they are two guys that recognized an opportunity to jump and figured a three-on-one, you know, it's unfortunate but we'll regain ourselves and make sure we get a win in a couple of days here. >> what upset especially everyone >> going to need a hat, a

by getting the story that glen green wald got, snowden through carefully selected media outlets in germany france and brazil among many others. snowden has yet to come in from the cold. he's lying low in wintery moscow but according to the journalists involved, this story is far from resolved. there are more coming. our starting point, the adopted home of american journalist glen greenwald, rio de janeiro, brazil. >> i had been contacted in december 2012, by someone who didn't identify himself but had interested material he thought h iwould want to look at. so i said send me something. he sent me encrypted documents. i immediately knew this was one of the most important security leaks in history. i had been working on surveillance issues and suddenly in my lap had dropped some of the most potent instruments for shining a light on what they were doing, beyond your wildest dreams as a journalist. unprecedented nature of the documents was going to be a earthquake in the political and media landscape around the world. and in the next i need my editor to get the guardian behind it in a very fas

seller in a state like colorado, would you be smart to if you have other corporate interests in effect waldf? >> i would want a local subsidiary in the state and make sure the money was not moving to another state, into the parent corporation where some other state might try to say it's illicit money that can be forfeited. >> reporter: professor, had you anticipated questions like this and what did you advise washington? >> well, we anticipated them as a team, that particular question isn't my area of expertise but i think it's a great example of the complexity that comes along, the how do you provide banking services to an industry that is illegal under federal law, how do you judge impairment, there are a host of these. my guess is that the simplest way to solve it is for a change in the federal statute just pertaining to the money laundering, that is the federal government doesn't have to legalized marijuana production to solve the problem, this can be changed just by changing the money laundering statutes. >> reporter: alison, is there a parallel in alcohol in this case where there are

. >> thank you, commissioner wald. so, commissioners, as you've seen, you have this annual report from 2013 and because it's quite detailed, i think it's probably best to see if commissioners have any specific questions about programs that are detailed in the annual report. but in this report you'll see the first full documentation of our biodiversity program and accomplishments. that's one highlight from this annual report. there is also quite a bit of information about adaptation and smart cities which is new to the annual report, as well as our americas cup accomplishments and eco districts. so, 2013 was a fantastic year for department of the environment and i did really want to thank some staff who helped to put this annual report together. donny, mark, and page were really great team members in making sure this was completed by tonight's commission meeting and ready for distribution to the larger sfb community. i'm happy to take any questions. 2013 was a great year for the departments. >> director nutter? commissi

there was a agreement between representative wald and representative eshoo on the fcc process reform act, and it kind of softened up some of the republican stances that they wanted more transparency and accountability at the fcc and incorporated some of the flexibility provisions that the democrats had wanted. it looks like it has a lot of momentum going to the house floor. it's definitely a bipartisan agreement on something that had been troubled ground for the committee, so -- >> host: all right. we have got three minutes left, we want to get three more issues in. paul barbagallo, what's another issue that we haven't discussed? >> guest: well, mergers and acquisitions. i think any year in tech and telecom space we will see m&a activity. and we will likely see further consolidation of the wireless space. we're seeing charter try to sweeten its bid for time warner. and i think as technology changes and as competition increases, we will start to see more companies partner. >> host: matthew schwartz? >> guest: the fcc former interim acting chairwoman mignon clyburn was very proud of he

chance to read through it all have been one of the only one of the board members is judge patricia wald who you may have seen recently was awarded the presidential medal of freedom right. a great jurist a real credit to the legal profession someone that you know i look up to and admire greatly so given her involvement in issues a former judge on the international criminal tribunal for yugoslavia the former chief judge of the d.c. circuit court of appeals here in washington put a lot of stock in faith in her analysis of this situation and again it confirms what others have said you know the new america foundation did a study recently where they came to the same conclusion that you know we always hear oh we've got to have this program and people should trust the government to retain all this data because it keeps america safe and it stops terrorist plots but again this is another group that said there's no proof to back that up. and i want to take a look at a pew research poll that came out this week of the people who heard obama's speech last friday seventy three percent of them say they

joining me today, alex sites wald, house of disrupt, and political columnist and co-author of chris christie, the inside story of his rise to power bob ingall and jonathan capehart, who wrote one of my favorite columns, me, me mea culpa. >> bob, you literally wrote the book. >> right. >> one of the things he went to say was this was really not the way he operates or the culture he sought to engender as governor or in his previous roles in government. is that true? is this his m.o. or not? >> you were right first time. he plays hardball. and he's not the only politician who does it but he has a reputation for playing hardball. it depends on your definition of bully, since the book came out people have been asking if he's a bully. that depends on where you're coming from and your experience in that realm. i don't know if i can label him a bully but he certainly plays hardball. >> to give a couple of examples. this is not the first time that we've had the sort of allegation of bully boy tactics let's just say on the part of christie, in april the former governor of the state, richard cody, now

. >> reporter: journalists glen green wald exposed practices based on information supplied by edwardnowden. in an interview with al jazeera the stream green wald says he is not expecting much from president obama's speech. >> it's really just basically a pr gesture, a way to calm the public and make them think there is reform when in reality there really won't be. and i think that the public at this point has heard enough about what the nsa does and how invasive it is and they need more than just a pretty speech from president obama to feel as though there are concerns of an address. >> reporter: so what do most americans think about the nsa surveillance edges programs? a washington post, abc news poll finds 68% of americans believe the nsa's monitoring of call records and internet traffic intrudes on their right to privacy. 53% say they disapprove of the way president obama has handled nsa surveillance activities but that doesn't mean most americans consider edward snowden a hero, 60% of americans say his revelations about the nsa programs have harmed national security. and you can

do or what have you done to address income disparity, unemployment disparity in this country, and wald you suggest that -- what would you suggest that the fed pursue to avoid the consequences long term of that income disparity? >> i think you're asking about something that is a very deep problem that's afflicted the u.s. economy and other advanced economies. economists have spent a lot of time trying to understand what's responsible for widening inequality, and many of the underlying factors are things outside of the federal reserve's ability to address. >> do you believe your policies have added to the problem? >> i believe that the oils we've -- the policies we've undertaken have been meant to generate a robust recovery. i would like to see the u.s. economy and the job market recovering more rapidly than they are, but i believe our oils have helped -- policies have helped. and i think as we saw during the 1990s when we still had trends toward widening inequality, we did have real wage gains, and we did have a reduction in inequality when we had an exceptionally strong and getting eve
