ziegler has been repeating mantras like these for decades. for years he has been a member of the un human rights council advisory committee in geneva. from 2000 to he was the un's 2008 first special rapporteur on the right to food a theme that is close to his heart. jean ziegler: "unlike 50 years ago, nowadays everyone knows that hunger in the world is manmade and could be eliminated tomorrow by a few fundamental structural reforms in the dominant countries the heads -- the hedge funds the , big banks are making astronomical profits by speculating (on stock markets) with basic food commodities." >> in the 1970s he trained his sights on what he calls "world capital". he called for an end to swiss banking secrecy and polarized swiss society. ziegler was labelled a traitor. but that didn't deter him. in his books, he continued to take on the powerful leading politicians and the multinationals. for many years he represented switzerland's social democrats in the federal parliament. but he always kept the big picture in mind and was never afraid of

an unsung hero of the comeback in san clemente was ron ziegler. he came out and stayed with us and gave all his time and all his papers to us for the preparation of the memoirs. notis gone, but certainly forgotten. [applause] and cindy and his granddaughter are keeping up the usc tradition here. [applause] >> i wasn't really involved in that post after he moved back to new york. we had dinner in the house surrounded by packing crates with jimmy roosevelt and mary roosevelt about the week before he left. i only saw him occasionally , other than doing the interviews in 1983. i think he said in the east room speech, is only beginning -- it is only a beginning always. this whole postpresidential period is an exemplar of the nixon resilience and spirit and discipline and dedication and patriotism that he felt he had a mission, and mrs. nixon felt that, too. they had something to contribute. it's meaningful that six weeks before he died, he was in russia. that very moving picture with his photograph of him standing on the charles bridge in prague lookin

spicer is channelling his inner ron ziegler.hink there is something beyond this that's more troubling. how this information was passed back and forth. unfortunately, what's taking place here besides the distraction is the very real possibility that there are going to be investigations of what's happened during the investigation. and is that a distraction to the american public? it absolutely is. there's a lot of serious work to do on this. not the least of which is how do we prevent this sort of russian involvement again. but we're not going to get there if we are playing these sort of crazy games. >> do you think nunes wants to find out the trump role in cooperating with the russians, if there was one? does he want to know what hand they played in encouraging the russians to hack the democratic national committee, podesta and palmieri and all the rhett of that that seemed to droi hillary clinton's campaign? do you think nunes wants to find out the truth of trump's role in all of that? >> i would think every american would like

jim ziegler. there in part because there was an attempt to subject in many ways that they were ridiculing you from the governor's office as well as rebecca mason. so, first off, if the governor's about to resign which we're all led to believe, how do you feel about this decision? >> well, i feel good it's coming to a close. this cloud needs to clear over state government. we've got problems with lack of money, with prisons, with wasted money, with the medicaid budget and we need to concentrate on solving those things and get the robert bentley tale to an end. >> reporter: is it embarrassing just as a dez derez debsident o? >> it is. the good news is the system appears to be working. the majority of state officials who are well mean and honest will hold accountable those handful that violate their oath of office and violate the law. >> reporter: okay. jim, thank you very much. he, like so many others, are waiting now to see when and if the governor shows up here to make that announcement. there is

eng ziegler. >> yes. i didn't mention that earlier but i will add something about affordable housing will be too. >> oh, it's in there. >> it's in there. >> mr. cook plane or mr. haney ms. mendoza-mcdonnell and dr. murase ms. norton mr. sanchez and mr. walton 6 i's. >> now again, the point i've been apologizing for all night thank you so much for being with us and bearing with you usually i'll get to public comment sooner it was unavoidable we wanted to make sure we had public comment with that said, we're in public comment tonight please note an opportunity to hear from the public we ask you refrain from ice the individuals names if you have a complaint submit to the employee supervisors as a reminder the california law doesn't allow us to respond if appropriate we'll ask the staff follow-up with speakers everyone has two minutes for public comment tonight please come up to the microphone and we're going to in order with paul rivera and please forgive me if i mispronounce your names (calling names). >> y
