best selling author of "the other wes moore" and a u.s.eteran. karen, let me start with you, does romney want to take us back to the bad days of the bush era? >> it sure seems that way. we have a vision that if romney were to win he would be asking himself what would george do. interestingly if you look at economic and foreign policy team, the people that have been named and a few people like rob portman come from the bush administration and were responsible for some of the greatest mistakes in economic and foreign policy history. >> wes, when you look at the people that he surrounded himself, a couple of which i named and karen named, portman is being considered for vice president, and you look at the polls of who the american people play the economy on, 49% still blame president obama, 34% president obama. this is three and a half years later. i mean, is it wise, politically, or just they are so locked into their dogma to even surround yourself with advisors who the overwhelming majority of american people feel they're policies cause us

but before graduates turn their tassels, their keynote speaker, author and baltimore native, wes moore, delivered a challenge, to choose their own path. >> you've got to be the one who has to answer that question in your own heart and in your own mind. as to what makes sense and what will bring you peace. >> reporter: it's a decision moore made years ago. he pinned the -- penned the best seller, the other west moore, a book about two men on different paths. moore ended up attending johns hopkins university and serving in the army as a paratrooper. the other is behind bars, convicted of killing a baltimore officer. >> i loved what he said that art is important but what we do with it is paramount. that stuck with me. >> reporter: for moore, this visit to stevenson university is a chance to give back to baltimore. >> i love being at home. there are a lot of people who are looking to receive an honorary doctorate. and like me, they cannot believe it. >> reporter: the university passed out nearly 500 degrees today. at stevenson university, i'm gigi barnett. wjz eyewitness news. >> stevenson

wes moore, i want to bring you in here. in terms of veterans' attitudes towards this war and their conception how the president handled it. a lot of us have the mistaken impression if you're in the army you're pro-war. a lot of veterans believe in very specific and very thought through use of force and that the fact that president obama has had a light footprint which we'll talk about later has been very good for this country and sort of not using the military in a broad sense but using it in discreet measures has won him support among those who have served. >> understanding these aren't just numbers we're talking about when we're deploying brigades. these are lives. it is also about the people serving and their families. not only do i completely agree whale beau biden was saying but in addition to that, you look at the passage of the new gi bill, one of the most aggressive and assertive plans in making sure veterans are taken care of educationally when he they come home and the joint forces worked with the first lady and m

we are asking they be conditional use instead. the only way you could have one would be through a temporary use permit. commissioner moore: i am still questioning why it is two years. >> the staff recommendation differs from the proposal. we are recommending that rather than prohibiting, it's become a conditional use permit under staff's recommendation, there would not be a two-year having to come back to the commission. i do understand what you are saying. we have recommended elsewhere that the to your change to five years. -- two-year change to five years. commissioner moore: did to comment on that? i do not think i heard them. >> that was the last item that i did. i might have rushed through. currently, parking can be waived by the zoning administrator in the waterfront sud 1 and 3. this legislation would change it so that the waterfront assud2 could get parking waivers. commissioner antonini: on the issue regarding the 2 to 5 years, will be the case if the temporary parking lot is not approved? it would have to just be vacant. or whatever they choose to do. >> correct. if they can back to do a temporary parking lot f

speaking of congressmen, what congressional district is wes moore from? ressman since i have known him. i said at ta dinner i was introducing wes in new york, there's a senator here in new york that they might as well just put their paperwork in now. rhodes scholar. veteran of our armed forces. >> amazing. >> best selling author. >> a "morning joe" regular. like a left hook from old man frasier. >> ok. have you had enough of this, boys? >> mayor of baltimore. >> they verdict well one of those. >> i've seen "the wire." that's a good job. >> i'm sort of excited about brian's show tonight of his special, "inside the situation room" tonight at 9:00 eastern, 8:00 central. of course, brian is here with us now, anchor and manager of "nbc nightly news." tell us a little bit first about the access that you got. seems fairly unprecedented. >> well, we asked to talk to everybody in the picture. the iconic picture of the situation room during the raid. turns out it's a small conference room as part of the situation room. turns out the walls are suede, by the way. >> s

. >> well, with us right now is retired captain and msnbc contributor wes moore. thank you for joining us. i get a great message that there is an interesting development here. with the surge over there with a short string on it, and now he is even sizing the short string. where do you see him going on policy right now? >> i think the policy that we're seeing is that he understands that whether or not we have -- you know we could have 500,000 troops in afganistan. afganistan at it's best is a nonkenetic operation. we want a form of presence, but not 90,000 troops on the ground. the big thing right now will not be solved by u.s. boots on the ground. it will be solved with the reconciliation in the afghan government and countries. i think that's what they're trying to stress and take away from the deliberations. >> what is the military role if it's not to make the military unite. >> i think it's to help train the afghan forces. it's to make sure we have intelligence collection capabilities within the area, and we can support the area with special operations. it's not

we will go with status condition on that. i am a little confused, but that would be fined. -- fine. i believe that is all that, if i am not mistaken. ok. commissioner moore: while we are moving to support you and the legislation, i would still ask about the documents will be checked one more time for consistency in terms of how words and dates and issues are looked at as part of what we are considering today. i still see the reference to bte waterfront special use district in there. that is the front page of the draft resolution. you are capturing the majority of your recommendations, but i want to make sure that you go through this. >> i will be happy to do this. i usually listen to the hearing again. on the front part, that is the entire legislation and. that is the standard way we do it. commissioner moore: i do not see any reference to phase 2. >> when you get to the whereas's, it specifies what phase 2 is. on page two, all the way down at the bottom. commissioner moore: i am asking you to just check it one more time. thank you. >> i will second consistent to our discussions. >> [inaudible] >> in the other questions? ok. >> the motion on the floor is

we will have comments on other sections. commissioner moore: i remain surprised that after as many months as we have heard him who had discussed this particular project, many of the repeatedly stated questions by the community itself remain as vaguely answered as they have from the very beginning. in the beginning we did not have st. luke's. i think that as a major victory and i believe that that facility is not what i want to talk about at the moment. the issue of charity care remains hon specifically answered. it is kind of mention that it would be operated equally vague where there will be community providers, a neighborhood health facilities and innovation fund that is administered by three groups. the reality of the project and program has not answered. i believe it is a formulated a question that the community has given us over the months. there is still no answer forthcoming and it leaves me rather surprised. it made me listen more carefully. i do make a mental note that there is still a major disconnect in areas where i will leave -- t

moore that the organism has laws of growth of its own. it's following some kind of universal law but it's not a species that we know. (narrator) throughout his long working life, moore collected natural forms and kept them near his workplace. he placed his own works side by side with objects that caught his eye: bones, shells, and flints. his own habits coincided with surrealism's interest in the found object and the creative possibilities of unexpected juxtapositions. the fusion of front and back, internal and external spaces, had been one of moore's goals since the early '30s. tunneling holes through heavy masses was a theme that preoccupied him for many years. in the late 1930s, he merged mathematical models he had seen at the science museum in london with early surrealist forms, leading to a series of stringed pieces. the works were a breakthrough for moore - literally. he punched through the masses and looked through strings in a new way that allowed him to see forms within forms. that interplay between the interior and exterior fascinated him. he explored it in several works and photographed them from several a

we were not on hal moore's frequency until we actually got into x-ray. >> do you remember the then lieutenant colonel? >> absolutely. absolutely. he was probably this monumental figure standing in the middle of all of this chaos with total control of who he was, what he was, and what he wanted us to do without hesitation told me this is where i want your unit in the perimeter, and move out. so we basically did and deployed immediately. at some point later we came back for a more thorough briefing by him what went on and what he had anticipated would happen the rest of the day and the next night. >> he came and addressed the company commanders? >> he had company commanders that came in. i guess it was part of his normal early morning briefing or afternoon briefing. we got that fairly early in the morning. >> right. what did he tell you? what did he say he thought would be happening? >> he knew that the north vietnamese forces were still there. that we needed to do policing the battlefield to try to recover as many american soldiers' bodies as we could and get them back inside the perimeter. an

so we wasted no time in shoving in and out. >> what do you remember about colonel moore as that day went on? was he -- he was on the horn with bruce. were you talking with him as well? >> absolutely. absolutely. i monitored all communications. now we didn't exactly tell other pilots that, because it gets cluttered if you get too many people chatting at the same time. >> sure. >> so we say take over 1,400 pounds of fuel that followed us and don't talk. you know. because you -- you don't describe everything to him, because it's just probably better. >> right. >> but yes, we discussed -- that he would -- colonel moore would tell us if the lz was hot, or warm, or whatever. >> mm-hmm. >> and advise us, and sometimes he'd say, move to the west side a little bit, because we have had a push coming in to the east or whatever. >> right. >> so he'd air traffic controller so to speak. >> uh-huh. >> and then the last flight in at 10:30, he says, don't come back in, he says, i can survive 'til daylight, and i wanted to get out and go kiss him but i knew better you know. don't tell thing, you know. >>

we do. commissioner moore: i would love to see them, and i think the commission would, also. i would like to put the fear of the gentleman who spoke about the reduction of how many feet we have -- 130 feet high being indeed a losing proposition as being unsubstantiated because hyde is really not receivable at that height anyway. but you would agree with me as a high-rise designer that this gentleman should rest assured that the building will still look very tall and the taper of the towers will make that possible. i appreciate your comment on the third exiting stair. at the time, the code did not require it. it came shortly thereafter. i am glad you are putting the structurally thinking people in this audience to rest with that. we will have further discussions with you. >> thanks very much. commissioner antonini: thank you. the question has not been asked, but one that is obvious is with the construction of the transit tower and the accompanying towers, there will be a tremendous amount of new commercial space provided. will the demand be there? contrary to what is sometimes

commissioner moore: we had five years to initiate that discussion in order not to be put in as awkward situation as we are in today. i myself feel we are in a very awkward situation. the concerns about shadow and of holding proposition k has been pretty much mainstream to my position on the commission and why i like the building, and a very much support the plan. and the work the department has done. we have talked about it for the last five or six years. i feel basically pushed against a wall that this issue has not been resolved prior to today. >> my only response to that was we could not resolve it because it requires a change in zoning and for the commissions to review the plan before it could be resolved. the information has been in the eir for quite some time. we have had it out there. the only difference we're talking about is how that information is reviewed by the two commissions. commissioner antonini: what is really before us at this particular time is certification. the eir, which is a complete, accurate and very analytical extension, and so really, that is the only issue w

we are dropping below that number. also, it bothers me, as commissioner moore has said, that it is specifically targeted to cpmc employees. we had testimony from the man from the hotel who said his business was going to increase, he will be spending additional money, he expects to have 10-15 new employees. there is the nexus, right? it is not just not cpmc employees. everybody says this will be ed -- a big economic engine for the area. multiple new jobs created by these kinds of businesses. he is saying people are going to the restaurant and eat at cafes so more jobs will be created. none of these people are going to qualify for this particular program. that is why i cannot support it. commissioner miguel: i just wanted to echo your comments, president long. -- fong. originally, why it was just for cpmc employees, and then rethought it because of the fact that they have been complaining for years about so much of our emergency first responders living outside the city, which they are entitled to do. at one time, many cities, including san francisco, tried to create a situation where if you did not live in the city, you di

the change we are making would have no effect on that. commissioner moore: current trends continued to take the current position and expand them? >> currently, parking in chinatown does not require -- is generally not required in the zoning district. the special u.s. district provides exemptions from parking requirements. there is no point of having exemptions when you do not have a parking requirement to begin with. i know it does not make a lot of sense, but that is why we are trying to change it. it gives an exemption were parking is not required. the second, it does not permit customer service areas like drive-throughs and things like that. in chinatown, they did not allow that either. it is another redundant control. >> because we have a commissioner -- >> i am referring to b in my report. >> i want to make sure that we are clear. >> the third one requires a parking lot or a storage garage to get a conditional use from the planning commission. again, another redundant control. either require a conditional use or prohibit it. that really has little impa
