of "the other wes moore." guess the question comes down to numbers. 66,000 troops in country right now. what should it be five years from now? >> i think we're going to initially withdraw to 6,000 troops in 2014. i think a lot of work will be done by contractors, not u.s. troops, but we can't afford to continue spending the kind of money we're spending. you know, we have spent $557 billion up to today, half a trillion dollars, and what have we gotten for it? burma, somalia, and afghanistan are the three most corrupt nations in the world, and now almost 90% of that corruption is coming from american taxpayers' money. you'd be shocked at the amount of american taxpayers' money that's being spent over in dubai because it came in to afghanistan. this is a nation that's -- a government that's corrupt to its core -- >> let's talk about what we can get done in the year and a half we're leaving. wes, the question i always ask, it's why i'm generally against intervention, because you have to eventually leave, and the q

joining me now is wes moore. he's author of the book the other wes moore.ou for being here tonight. >> great to be here. >> nia, isn't it going to take more than a few classes at a two-day retreat to fix what's wrong with the gop? >> i think that's probably right. if you just look back at what has happened so far not only in the 2012 election, but in this last fiscal cliff deal, we know that there's a lot of distension in boehner's ranks. so here we are trying to figure out a way forward. there's a lot of disagreement about spending cuts and what they want to fight over. is it debt ceiling, is it sequestration, is it the resolution later in march? they could use that bell to call them to order there but it's hard to think that they could find a path. you've got on the one hand, a lot of distension in the rarngs there. but, also, just public opinion seems to be stacked against them. they're on the wrong side of so many issues. they seem to be wanting to plot a course right in the near term. but i think on the other hand, if you look at what democrats are doi

would take our general fund away from us, and this would supplant the general fund that we have. >> commissioner moorehank you for explaining that because it's the philosophy of use it or lose it. so it goes away to nowhere. what's very interesting to me is when we discuss budgeting last time, and i'm looking at the director, it was just the time when we developed on most bases the disintegrating. i was saying is anybody given ability to budget even in theory that there will be a lot of additional work which obviously we have seen in some of the neighborhood plans and all the -- things where redevelopment comes in over and over again. so i think, in light of the fact that we have witnessed a notion of caution to you, even in the last budgeting cycle, not budget cycle, budgeting cycle, i think it will be very, very appropriate to leave the door open for this to occur. and it's not even asking for the whole thing. but has there ever anybody developed an idea that each department might have a rainy day fund? i read the mayor's rebuttal of supervisor kim's legislation on housing, and while i don't have a

we were live in san jose with what exiting chief moore has to say. >> reporter: well, chris mirror. moore is up stairs packing his boxes. he has worn the badge from ev y every -- from every rank in the police department, he is hanging it up after 30 years as a cop. >> probably melencoly is the best description. when you are in this line of work, for as longs abeen in it, you realize how fortunate you are. >> his last badge was the proudest and most difficult, the golden badge of the chief. >> coming into a scenario where the public was concerned about the relationship of the police department. i think we have improved the relationship with the community substantially. >> while that relationship improved, his relationship with the rank and file got worse. more than 100 veteran officers resigned from the department last year. angry with the city they felt was taking their benefits away and the chief whom they felt was not defending them inside city hall. they questioned his leadership, moore's advice to city hall now? >> it's my hope that they recognize that the police officers here a

student and we have focus that we want to recognize from neighbor land and at crowd bright we have darn incidence moore and we want to thank the city hall fellows here and angelica and lindsay and rachel as put together a key role in pulling this off and they put together workshops in the middle of our holiday season and so in the middle of december we had a ton of people come out and over 16 neighborhood residents come together approximate come up with wonderful ideas and volunteer professionle architects to look what the we can do in the area and looked at 529 other ideas come out of that workshop and so i want to thank you all for the work that you have done and so colleagues we have put together an additional $15,000 from our district pot of money to help implement the ideas that come out of this community led event and so if you could put your hand together and help me thank these wonderful folks.

we can call on them all. it would be great to acknowledge that in the motion. >> commissioner moore. >> we will see if the public has any other items. >> we are calling them together. >> so the motion includes nine, 10, and 11. >> second. >> great. thank you. >> on that motion to approve items nine, 10 and 11 commissioner antonini. >> aye. >> commissioner hillis. >> aye. >> commissioner moore. >> aye. >> commissioner sugaya. >> aye. >> commissioner president fong. >> aye. >> that passes commissioners unanimously five to zero. >> next item. >> commissioners that places you on item 12 at 2121 19th avenue. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am mitchiel planning staff and this is located at 2121 19th avenue and between quintara and rivera street. it's a request for conditional use permit. through at&t this facility is the regular cellular antenna facility that we see most often and antennas on the roof top and equipment within ground floor area and location preference seven site because it's residential two and the height limit is 40 feets. just a few things to add in 1997 sprint was approved for a project at the si

moore? >> would we be scheduling a discussion item on it so it would have an introduction about the underlying policy or policy changes that we have a little bit more time to think about and including hearing other city departments like the control, anybody weigh in what kind of ramifications it has financially, all questions that are part of a broader discussion. >> we could do that if the president concurs, sure. >> commissioner sugaya. >> i received a couple of e-mails about this subject, i don't know if there's some outreach that should be down, especially in soma where a lot of these buildings are. >> okay, thank you. is there a motion to continue? commissioner antimony. >> move to continue, what would be a reasonable date? >> it's been proposed for february 28. >> february 28, that's fine, continued to february 28th. >> second. >> on that motion to continue item 8, planning commission policy on timing of project implementation to february 28, commissioner antonini. >> aye. >> commissioner borden? >> aye. >> commissioner hilllysing? >> aye. >> xhution ner wu. >> aye. >> and commissioner f

we definitely want to get an update on their mug shot. >> moore, you know we're taking you down to bookinght now because we want to get a new mug shot of you. we've noticed that you've lost quite a bit of weight. is this something you've been trying to do? >> no, it's just happened. >> but the thing about it is we noticed, too, a pattern that you've been refusing to eat. >> well, because of the food. i can't -- >> what's wrong with the food? >> have you tried it? >> i can't say that i have. >> my dog eats tastier stuff. it's gross. >> if you don't mind me asking, did you get any work done? >> what? >> as far as cosmetic work? >> no. >> you did not get any cosmetics at all? >> nope, nope. >> because your nose looks a little different. >> it's -- >> your eyes are different. >> nope, it's all from blueberries. i started eating blueberries and salmon. i heard that blueberries add ten years to your life. >> really? >> it was on "oprah." so i started doing it. >> are you telling me that blueberries changed your nose structure? >> blueberries will change your facial features. >> my goodness. >> i

. >> commissioner moore? >> we understand that the implementation of the street tree program and the fact that the city can't maintain the trees but put the responsibility back on the home owners or adjoining property owners is still an issue, do we move forward? >> this line item is inventory of the trees and developing a plan for their further retention and growth so the maintenance question, you're right is an important question, it's not completely resolved yet, it's important to have this work done as a background for that. >> thank you for clarifying that. another question perhaps for mr. demartini, is there another place where we could see a little more detail on how the commission itself is budgeted as there are a number of line items which come together when you bring that figure forward, that includes an addition to the stipend, obviously the cost

could we ever be carrying one of these around in our left pocket? i don't know. let's bring our power panel back. steve moore"wall street journal", brian wesbury from first trust advisors and simon rosenberg from the new democratic network. simon, i will start with you. we went to you las vegas time. it is only fair. do you have a $100 trillion bill? are you ready for this to happen in the u.s.? >> i'm not sure i have a $100 bill. melissa, there is lot of work to be done to get our budget in better shape. we don't have to do everything in one year. there is sort of expectation there will be a grand bargain. all of our problems will be solved. i don't think that is going to happen. we could see this getting resolved over the next three or four years. pieces of it getting done. remember, we actually, when bill clinton left office in 2001 we were headed towards eliminating the deficit all together. future congress unraveled that, right? melissa: also because, and you know well, because the economy was growing so well. >> right. melissa: that was really the nesis of this segment, the economy, no matter how you s

now two american vets, former marine and msnbc contributor goldie taylor and retired army captain wes moore you and i want your reaction to what you heard hayden say. what's your reaction to that? >> i think he is right. we have to be ready to move at a moment's notice and i don't believe the standards ought to be relaxed. when i came out of boot camp, just after i came out of boot camp they instituted 54 weeks of -- 54 hours of continuous mental and physical challenge. to survive that you have to be in excellent physical shape. but in order to qualify for front-line infantry roles, that calls for something else. and i just don't believe there ought to be a difference in the standard. if a woman can meet those standards she ought to be able to serve, be recognized and paid for it. >> simple as that. if she can meet the standards she's good to go. >> i agree. what the policy is asking for is not set asides or any type of quotas. it is simply saying we should open and allow opportunities for women who choose to go in to this that they can have the opportunities to do so. it goes back to the l

we were moored in the isthmus off cattily in a island. it was thanksgiving evening and i had gone to bed, about 11:00, and at about 5 after 11 i heard someone yelling, calling for help. help me, somebody, please help me. i got up and started calling across where i could determine the crisis for help were coming from, and i would yell where are you? where are you? i'll come. i'll get you. keep yelling. and all the yelling that took place and screaming was somebody please help me. help me. the cries for help were very, very haunting, and very serious. i stayed up on the top deck and my fiance at the time went down stairs to call harbor patrol. they never answered the phone, so in desperation, he called avalon which is about 30 minutes away by helicopter, and he repeated what was going on in the water from what we could tell. it was coming from the water. we had packed everything up because we were going back to new port beach the next day, so we didn't even have a dingy. owners, she would be alive today. we could have thrown the dingy in th

we decided to ask a number of very liberal americans what they think about that. dan rather, oliver stone, ted turner, phil donahue, michael moorejane fonda, susan sarin dan, ravel narrowed and joy behar all liberal folks and very politely we asked them would you please give us a statement about the journal news. none of them. would mr. rather indicated at first he would. then he decided he was too busy doing what we're not sure. clearly the gun issue is way too intense for some. joining us now from los angeles leslie marshall if for alan colmes this evening here in the studio monica crowley. i thought some of these people would respond. if they really believe that the newspaper is doing the right thing and gun control is paramount, very important issue of the day and certainly all of the aforemention have had bloviated almost beyond belief, why wouldn't they step up. we didn't have them sitting where you are sitting, which is frightening, isn't it, monica? >> it's very scary. >> bill: we didn't ask them to do that we said give us a paper statement and tell us how you feel. >> too busy to do that. >> not only are all of them com

that is where paul's boat is moored. >> we don't sprob remembers with owners developing property.but this belongs to the people of california. that is what we're concerned about. >> so what happens after the midnight deadline? >> we are gooding to have to use legal proceedings available to us. and only one thing is certain. at the end of the day, an oold landmark will be gone. one spokesman says there are about seven boat owners who asked permission to stay here beyond the deadline. the spokesman says theirg í now there, is still hope for the remaining boat owners here. the redwood city city council will hear their appeal at the end of the month. and also, the lawyer for these boat owners have filed a lawsuit challenging the evictions. >> still ahead tonight the san jose state takes a big first step towards an overhaul of college as we know it. how california is trying to make higher education more affordable. >> we're live tonight in san francisco international airport. the idea of a name change has little lit up conversation on the abc 7 news facebook page. >> if you're tired of

so do we want to talk to? steven mooreed to have you on the show here, our senior economics writer for "the wall street journal." welcome back. >> thank you. i wish we had better news to report. >> we bring you on and it is all, like, debbie downer stuff. let me ask you this. it is not if you have your 401(k) and you're pretty stoked looking at the dow today. but my question is, when we're looking at wall street, versus main street, why are they not in harmony? >> well, it is a great question, because you're right. investors have just made out like bandits in the last 60 days or so. the stock market has done very well, as you just mentioned. we're at or near an all time high. and the economy just -- the real economy, for workers, really is still pretty poor. and this -- everyone was very shocked, brooke, about the number that came out today. people were expecting 1% to 2% growth. we got negative .1%. now -- >> why is that? >> well, it's a little bit distorted because we had a big reduction in defense spending. and that's b

continuance is not granted we can consider it today and save ourselves and this gentleman -- >> i will withdraw the continuance. >> okay. >> okay. then the motion -- >> commissioner moore has a comment. >> i would like -- we have one registered architect here mr. jocelyn. i would like to ask you with the building designed in 61 what type of drawings would you expect as a registered architect and with dr and wouldn't the existing drawings at a minimum reflect what it is i oom not discussing the merging or not. that's not the issue for me. it's the type of drawings submitted and what type of open door it gives somebody to submit drawings for this type of approval. >> i have to state first i'm not a registered architect in california. i am registered in oregon so with that disclosure i would say for these purposes the kinds of drawings that are provided are not atypical for these processes and acceptable in the manner that was described. that it's not necessarily a requirement of a stamp in our code -- >> i know that. >> nor is it necessarily typical of the process for changes of this modest scale. it might be worth hearing a little more from the sponsor the extent about

we can complete this process today. >> the group will make recommendations to city manager deborah and though there is no set timetable for a decision, current chief chris moore retires on january 18th. >> we want to keep the gap between the -- the retirement of chief chris moore and the next chief as small as possible. >> once the city manager makes her final selection, that candidate must still be approved by the city counsel. in san jose, robert honda, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> vice president joe biden hosted the first in a series of high-level meetings today on gun violence. the attention was sparked by last month's shooting at sandy hook elementary. >> every once in awhile there's something ie wakens the patience of a country, and that tragic event did it in a way like nothing i've seen in my career. >> among those attending today's meeting were parents of children killed in a mass shooting at the aurora, colorado movie theater and survivors of the 2007 virginia tech massacre. tomorrow the vice president's gun policy task force meets with a national rifle association and others opposing gun control. the president has voweda and wants recommendations from

so let's see we have shelley moore capito rodney davis, and others.you think the solution is fewer house republicans or just more women? >> i think a combination of both. let's remember in 2006 there were 11 women who lost by less than 5% of the vote and one big reason they lost was the lack of money, so with emily's list going early that will help them. the second was they lost on immigration, because people believed they would be softer on providing benefits. >> jennifer: and it's wholesome because when women are at the table, women's issues get addressed. we have house republicans who are going to be taking violence against women up, and the question is will it pass? >> another issue like immigration. democrats want it because it's the right thing to do and republicans want it because they need it. >> jennifer: is it going to pass? >> i think it has a good chance of passing. [ overlapping speakers ] >> they have to put those visas for battered immigrant women back into immigration reform because they shouldn't be made to suffer. >> jennifer: exactl
