president ordering new sanctions why do you think that is. it was not just the recent days where threat has emerged from iran iran has never actually threatened the us this is. policy has been always defensive but in terms of threats coming from the u.s. special it is distance is sanctions against iran central bank i think that they're mostly. directed for the mystic consumption in the united states as we get closer to the presidential elections in the u.s. we see that each side trying to see as being more as being tough. on and this is another move by president obama to satisfy. is rivals or the supporters of his campaign that he's actually taking a tough stand with. the words continues claiming sanctions are targeting iran's controversial nuclear program tehran has those stepped up cooperation with the i.a.e.a. nuclear inspectors planning a new mission in a few weeks so why not wait for the outcome of the church before new sanctions. well the u.s. problem has never been about iran's nuclear program it's really as i said an excuse for for th

well and it's not just just the catholics for that matter why do country why do conservatives have such a poor understanding about contraception and is there a better way to educate them about these societal changes these fundamental cultural changes that are happening. rather than just have them get hysterical about it. there's an interesting theory about this there's a wonderful guy named stephen dukat is a psychiatrist who wrote a book about two thousand and four a couple factor in which he pointed out very persuasively that at the heart of all conservatism there is a deep sense of masculine identity that has to do with domination and control and when contraception becomes invisible in men men don't really participate in the choice when to have sex or with whom you know that they controlled all of that all of women's lives and we kind of went in there with this technology and they don't know what to do about it is their extended experience see it as an existential crisis of masculinity their masculine identity is fundamentally threatened and they're lashing out so you're suggesting t

think the reaction why do you think china's decision seems less harsh here. they have made the point clearly that they are not taking a position either way they're not a lot of themselves with the syrian leadership in the way that the russians may be since they are going and meeting with the syrian leadership tomorrow and as i mentioned they do have a base. on syrian on the syrian cars line so russia is a much closer relationship one that could it could be interpreted as being supportive of the syrian leadership as opposed to china's more neutral stance don't want to get involved do you think china's increasingly important role in the global financial system also plays into their decision in this regard sure yeah i mean definitely the us of those you know one of the half trillion dollars to china they are. growing more and more and more dependent the u.s. is more and more dependent upon china for financial support and that's only going to grow over time so yes i mean. you could make that claim if the moscow and beijing ever pay diddly warned against taking si

the fact that tony bennett has sung about our city, and i just kept thinking, why do we do this? did you come out so much? you'll love this city as much as i do. çpeople of all levels, whether you are working for a great institution or you are working with a different company or you were just a volunteer and someone who cares about somebody else, you do what you can. when we can organize and city government to provide that to opportunity, and whether it is a haircut, how can we provide training, how can we get you some eyeglasses, how can we set you up on e-mail -- q different parts of life we live normally may not be available to everybody, but you are here to make that available. when i think about the otani bennett is singing to, i think about you. -- when i think about who tony bennett is singing to, i think about you. it is a city of people to know how to do things for other people. that is what makes me so proud to be the mayor of this city. i am willing to sacrifice everything there is to do what is good for the city. i do not care about the politics so much as i care that

why do this? >> imagine you wake up tomorrow, and you cannot get a bank account. everything has gone away, and you are living in poverty. you have no money left. how do you transact business? how do you pay your utility bills? what do you do if you cannot open an account somewhere? how do you do that? you cannot. just because many of the prepaid cards have exorbitant fees, every time you pay a bill on line, 99 cents. every time you charge something, $1. there are many cards were people are paying $50 a month just to have. i wanted to come into this industry and say that because prepaid cards have been horrible, why can i create a great one so people who have to use prepaid cards can do it for the least cost? i came up with a car that has $3 a month see. region -- fee. why do i need to charge $3 a month? somebody has to pay for the plastic, the $24 -- 24 hour a day telephone people. somebody has to pay when you go to the atm and take something out. and this has automatic deposit that is free. somebody has to pay, because it is not free. for $3, you can have four car

why are we there? donow how many men and women we've lost and still sitting around the table, why are we there? >> in iraq we asked that same question over and over again. i never saw iraq as a good war and afghan as bad war. i thought they were all bad wars and iraq has fallen apart and what have we got? >> if you go back to the 2008 campaign, both senators obama and clinton said afghanistan is a place where he we should put resources. >> you're right, i agree. >> and put a political wedge-- >> instead of thinking of the well-being of afghanistan and our troops who were there. >> except we can't take care of the the well-being of the people of afghanistan, been there 3000 years, the british couldn't do it, russians couldn't do it. >> and say that-- >> again it's like animal fighting over rotten meat. there's nothing there, nothing there. >> how could we be so-- >> well. >> and james madison over there-- >> a new report says that american muslims are becoming radical online faster than the feds can identi

is one sided take a look it's even worse i think than the coverage of libya if that's possible and why do you say that. well you know who what why dot com we've been studying these things very very closely and we find a complete absence of journalistic due diligence essentially just to give you an example i'm looking at a piece from the new york times from today and they quote extensively from an opposition group talking about how many people have been killed atrocities a military massacre of fifteen detainees or etc etc and then at the end it says these accounts could not be independently verified and that you have to ask the question well what is that worth certainly if the syrian government makes a claim i think those are treated with a real skepticism and really at all ought to be treated with skepticism also i would fly a bit of logic to it and ask why the syrian government would be doing the kinds of things are saying they're doing which really only served to alienate the people on a large scale but that's that's what they said about gadhafi you'll remember where they claimed that h

why do so many people vote for the kids of other politicians. isn't nepotism bad? s the author of the book "in praise of nepotism" the author is adam bella, why should we praise nepotism. >> first of all, understand what we mean for nepotism. we as americans design nepotism in a very narrow way, we want it to mean just preferring a relative, but a relative is who is objectively incompetent and that's our very narrow definition of nepotism. >> john: no better, but they get the job because they're related and seems unfair. >> well, it can be unfair, but when i started to look into it, i found that nepotism is actually a beneficial practice. >> john: how? >> well, we can go back into human history and show that nepotism has a long record of accomplishments, first of all, part of our evolutionary process, we were hard wired, programmed to favor our relatives over other people and this was natural and necessary. >> john: because we knew which ones we could trust. >> that's right. >> john: what about the political dynasties, you could say that's a matter of trust, we assu

why do you set yourself apart from that and why do you specifically support him? >> i can make an argument that most politicians think about themselves. you know, in politics, david, you know as well as i do, people often say we buried the hatchet but they also leave the handle hanging out. they want to pull it out whenever they can. he asked me to support him. i am a friend of the speaker. i have been. we have talked from time to time. we talk about ideas. we talk about how to best deal with poverty. how to best educate our kids. every member is going to pick, hitch their wagon to some candidate but i can tell you, newt's argument, his sell is not to the people in washington who says we want to pick the nominee. his sell is with the people in the trenches. what are we talking about? 75% of the american people are talking about balance budgets, paying down the debt, creating jobs, looking at entitlements. when newt was speaker, washington folks can say elected officials who were still around who probably should have left after their six to eight years, they can say

we should do it. why isn't he doing it?have 90 years of consumption of natural gas in the country. we still haven't did it. in politics you always have to look like you're doing something. libe brian in the green room getting ready for "the five." shuffling papers around. preparing. that's president right now. he is trying to look like he is doing something. but all he has going is blocking drilling and drilling permits; particularly, in the gulf. >> juan: gee, so there was no b.p. oil nil that never happened. >> andrea: there was. you're going to shut down all drilling because of one reckless company? >> juan: one reckless company. we never had any oil spills in the united states before. nothing happened at prudo bay? oh, no! >> greg: the argument that it's laughable is the it didn't happen overnight, or it won't be solved overnight. for the last 40-some years they have been arguing against onward drilling, coastal dril drilling. which if we started 40 years ago, it would be. but it will be solved overnight so let's not do

now, why do we care that he used to work at companies that got $2.4 billion in taxpayer monies? because that guy was tapped by the energy department to be their consultant on green energy investment so, you know, what did sanjay apparently say? it look like he said, hey, consider my former company, they'd be a great investment, and now the post is raising questions about the propriety of that, lars. should it be? >> hey, they should be, absolutely. the whole thing sounds like dirty dealing at the white house to get the clean energy that's turning out not to be all that clean.

that the syrian national council is a legitimate body representing themselves how do we know that why do foreign governments recognize it but we don't know if the syrian people do well the syrian national council has gathered sort of a big spectrum of the different opposition movements you have islamist you have secular as you have intellectuals you have kurdish groups so it tried to bring sort of a platform. sort of consensus platform but it is. you know divided and they don't have a united position this year national council is seen as the leading opposition force but you have other of physician groups such as the national coordination committees and the two groups differ in their way they would see a way out of the crisis the syrian national council refuses dialogue with the regime because it says it has just been here already going to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on syrian state party. old means of protection can be used. in global supremacy. between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine the u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars in

why do people in the private sector unionize? guess what? working conditions sucked, and they fought back, and nothing wrong with what he's doing here. this should be applauded and by the way, i think conservatives are crazy going after him on a private union thing. do you know how many private union people, blue collar people vote republican conservative? >> listen, i've always been in a private union. i didn't like it. last hired, first fired. you basically tamp down talented people in-- you can't get rid of old people. >> well, you can't get rid of people who have been there longer who are not doing the same kind of work, it hurts hiring, if the union workers are siphoning money away from the company that might add more. >> hold it, charlie. >> and private sectors unions in a pact with the company they know for the most part-- >> wait a minute. >> they know. >> hold on one second. >> they know kill the company-- >> adam. let me bring you into this, a lot of people would disagree they're not in a pact with the company, they're trying to gra

i do not know how or why i have such a away with kids. it is their choice. no one is going to stick a needle in their veins. now you will decide to do that. i know you are only 12 years old, but it is your decision. it is not parents, a peer pressure. you will choose. it is their choice, and they have the right to choose. host: how much they thing did you do? -- how much taping did you do? >> 10 or 15 presentations. >> what was the toughest part about making this documentary and why did it take so long? >> i needed an ending. i needed to know about an industry that has not been badly impacted. the bill signed into law with the fda overseeing them culminates what began in these subcommittee rooms sphere -- rooms, the disgrace of an industry where they needed to be lumped in with the others. they no longer needed to be protected, and given the exemptions but had been the case of for that. >> this is a little clip. i believe it is an attorney from louisiana. guest: new orleans. >> 21 days, he does none of those things. he wakes up now. the first thing he does in

why do we not go to the budget analyst's report? >> madam chair, members of the committee, on page 5 of the report, we point out that the proposed permit would generate $93,000 in the first year. that is the minimum guarantee of 63,000 plus the 30,001-time bonus, and over the initial term, the permit would generate a minimum annual guaranteed of about $324,000, and as mr. updike has indicated, there is a difference between the proposed annual guaranteed versus the prior minimum guarantee that cbs outdoor paint. it is about 73% or more less. the fact that cbs outdoor was one of the bidders, and they bid less than the proposed permit the, the total outdoor, i think that is a further indication that they simply could not cut it with that $240,000 minimum annual guaranteed. we recommend that you approve the resolution. chair chu: thank you, mr. rose. why do we not open this up for members of the, you wish to speak on this item number one? >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is douglas, and i have lived in san francisco for 60 years.

their longtime acquaintances of you know some of them are your friends well your opinion why do you think it cost such a stair. well of course you have to ask them because they're the ones doing it i'm not what i can say is i'm surprised by it it's not in the spirit of the reset. you're most certainly never going to see president obama or anybody in my administration in our administration say such things we don't think it serves our national interest to have these kinds of exchanges and so we're not going to engage in them along with a state official this you do meet on your second day of the rival the opposition leaders and that's to take on practice after ears of silence i mean surely you knew that probably that wasn't going to send the best message out there you know well first of all the reason i'm here is that president obama sent me here when he wanted to continue the momentum of the reset knowing that this was going to be a difficult period because of the new more difficult issues we're tackling and he wanted to have me out here in the front lines working to advance the reset with

why do you think that is. well to be philosophical about it i don't think that this is simply a business transaction or some kind of a matter about money that could be adjudicated in a court i think the problem is deeper the europeans have created a currency and they're demanding that everybody in the eurozone accept the legitimacy of that currency and the people in control of it are the only authorities that can say what people do with the currency but the currency has structured is very weak and has a lot of internal contradictions in the greeks are really not to blame in my view for their problems as much as it is the people who created the euro so when the when the european leaders are. punishing the greeks it's not so much because of greek debt it's because they're trying to make an example out of greece for having challenged albeit not intentionally having challenge the authority of the of the eurozone. there's a lot of skepticism about the greek deal coming from e.u. politicians germany's finance minist

their longtime acquaintances of you know some of them are your friends or your opinion why do you think it caused such a stir. well of course you have to ask them because they're the ones doing it i'm not what i can say is i'm surprised it's not in the spirit of the research. you're most certainly never going to see president obama or anybody in my administration in our administration say such things we don't think it serves our national interest to have these kinds of exchanges and so we're not going to engage in that well it's only normal that an ambassador who is sent to mission that's what he would usually be doing on a mission but it's not by accident that you were appointed the u.s. ambassador to russia because you were so closely related to this country since nine hundred eighty three you are very well acquainted with russian mentality you know the realities on the ground and you better than anyone else really understand how sensitive russians are views of the relations to the united states so ok along with the state officials you do me on your second day of arrival the oppositio

people say, well, why do you have -- why do you create manufacturing differently, and i do. i don't cut the corporate rate for manufacturers to 17.5%. we eliminate the corporate tax for manufacturers. there will be no tax, period. we create the opportunity for us to compete. say, well, why do you treat it differently? because you here in detroit have to compete against countries all around the world. who want your jobs, in many cases took your jobs. and so we need to have a plan in place in america that understands the competitive playing field that you're on. we're not going to move the bank overseas. we're not going to move the retailer overseas. all of those other folks compete internally, by and large. you don't. no manufacturer really competes internally or just internally. you compete with a world that wants what you have because they know that manufacturing, making things, is the key to wealth creation in any society. and so we have to, just like we do when we've had policies in the past, to make sure that we have a material industrial complex in this country. why? be

point which is that these money market funds are designed to be safe yet we've seen them take risks why do you think we've seen them take these risk on europe do you think this is an unintended consequence of the fed keeping interest rates so low as zero percent in the u.s. . you have to keep in money of zero percent means that anyone who's in a money market fund that's investing in safe security and treasury and so forth is getting very little return on it so the money market managers are saying well if we can't return money to our customers we need to go somewhere where it's more risky i.e. the interest rate is higher in order to provide them a return so that they will give us their money so it's kind of this catch twenty two rates are low so they look for higher risk that's exactly by the way why the subprime catastrophe started happening because rates were so low in the beginning part of the two thousands of banks look for other ways and other places to extract high interest rates from and hence we saw what happened from a fourteen trillion dollar toxic asset scheme that was based upon

>> yes. >> then why do you do it? t for. >> you're going to find help here at mcdonald's? >> no. >> you were going to find help from a 13-year-old boy? >> no. >> experts in the field, after hearing all this, are going to likely suggest that last night wasn't your first time and today isn't your second time, that you've been doing this for a very long time, john. >> no, i haven't. >> do you understand why that's hard for me to believe? i mean is there any reason for us to think that you won't just go ahead and do this again tomorrow? >> i got two appointments with my psychiatrist tomorrow. >> what about today, you don't seem that busy today. >> that's why i'm going to go home and call him. >> do you consider yourself a predator? >> i don't know. >> you don't know? is there anything else you want to say? >> no, sir. >> and he walks off, shoes untied, gets into his pickup truck, and drives off. and i'm thinking i just can't believe what i've just seen. when we started these investigations, you know, the goal was to unders

now jon, why are you doing this to mean.now you are wealthy y are you asking. >> jon: i understand that. the system needs to be more fair. it is not a question of not wanting people to -- >> i got it. you are afraid of a popular uprising. >> jon: no. >> well, you don't need to worry about that, why do you think we came up with all this soon to and job creator nonsense. it's to make these people think that we are their heroes then they will blame themselves for not being rich. and we keep them in a state of consumers torpid depression until they die of type ii diabetes on a pile of scratch out lottery tickets. it's perfect. ha, ha, ha! ha, ha, ha,!, ha, ha, ha. >> jon: i think the audience can actually still hear us. >> what are you talking, they can't hear us at all. what? (laughter) (cheers and applause) >> that proves nothing, it's just a random bottle throwing it happens every time i laugh that way. >> jon: look at them now. >> not to worry, jon. because i brought my escape dome. unfortunately, there is only room in it fo
