we're on the road in california. in the wake of the dramatic increase in deaths at the hands of u.s. border patrol agents, the department of homeland security has agreed to launch a long-awaited investigation to the agency's use of force. investigation comes after community outcry led to formal requests by members of congress concerned about what they see as a pattern of excessive use of force by border patrol agents. since 2010, at least 18 people have been killed by border agents including most recently, 16-year-old hazare rodriguez who was reportedly shot no fewer than seven times for allegedly throwing rocks at an agent. another recent case that has sparked outcry is that of valeria "munique" tachiquin, who was killed by border patrol agent on september 28 in broad daylight in a residential area several miles north of u.s.- mexico border. she was a u.s. citizen, mother of five, the youngest was 4 years old. the man who killed her, agent justin tackett, reportedly had a history of misconduct in his previous career

the refineries making california's gas shuts down. several are not at full capacity, including chevron partially shut down because of the fire. >> the politicians are trying to figure out what can they do or who can they claim. often they blame the refineries. >> reporter: dianne feinstein is asking federal regulators to see if there was an illegal short squeeze. price spikes turn out years later to have been the result of malicious and manipulative trading affect. cawing on the ftc to react immediately and aggressively to protect california's consumers. borenstein says it's hard to prove but possible because there are only a few companies that produce the california clean blend. she says chevron as a hold of more than 20% of the market. >> those companies are in a position where if they change their output, it does move the price. the real question is then would they do that? would they fully produce a little less in order to keep prices higher? unfortunately, it's very hard to tell. >> reporter: and hard to tell because the californ

in addition, the california department of public health scanned five additional areas. these light blue areas, that are not even on the navy's list or of any concern, but they were asked to be -- city asked them to scan them just because they are high use, high traffic areas just to verify that there's no problems. and again, none of these areas showed any levels and they are all considered safe. so, the question is well, why is the navy doing any work if everything is fine. and the answer is the navy is required to remove any levels above background. and you can have levels very high above background and not be a health concern. and that's the disconnect that people don't quite understand. in this case, as i said, all the areas that they surveyed, they haven't found anything above background. but if you did, would it necessarily be a hazard today or to any residents? so, when the navy does their scans and they very carefully move soil around and scan some more and scan some more, they might find an area above background and they are required to clean that up. and, so,

the same money pressures have affected the university of california and the california state university system. where classes are also hard to get, tuition is rising and maintenance is neglected. students and faculty fear uc's reputation is in jeopardy. >> i think the university is at risk. in terms of its quality. >> still, for all the doom and gloom scenarios, there are some californians who don't think raises taxes, as propositions 30 and 38 both do, are the solution to the state's education woes. >> we have to ask ourself what throwing money at the problem right now would do. i have to say that i think it would decrease the incentive for material reform in california's education right now. >> carl broat is a treasurer from for group california parents for educational choice. he says, until districts address ballooning employee pensions and enact other cost-saving measures, schools will continue to struggle, no matter how much per pupil spending increases. >> we haven't doing enough. we haven't thinking creatively about our expenses. we aren't addressing the union contracts. the issu

china is the third largest export destination for california. many multinationals like hp, intel, cisco, and chevron are doing well in china. they're making money in china. at the same time, as the close relationship is going on, many chinese companies are working in san francisco in california. i would like to name a few. the tsl, ciuts, just to name a few. these are successful chinese companies working here. as the american companies in china, the chinese companies working in california in san francisco are also making contributions to job creation and the development of the economy in local areas. we're thinking these are very good signs. as the previous speakers mentioned, we paid a visit to the united states last february. governor brown proposed that we set up a working group for the u.s., a state, and china provinces to cooperate. we call this a working group, a joint working group of provinces and the states. at that time, the vice president made a very good, very positive response for the proposal. after the vice-president returned to c

california, i live in texas. we like to make fun of people in california. remember, this is one -- it's true. it's one of the biggest economies in the world. memory serves, nighter tenth largest if it were a stand-alone country. you're going to see huge economic impact some california, jobs leaving the state. of course it will affect the rest of the country because california is a bellwether for the rest of the country. unfortunately when it comes to energy policy we have seen of the last four years are policies that imitate what the californians have been doing for. gerri: bad idea. well, governor jerry brown agreed to allow refineries to make it cheaper went to blend. will that solve trouble? >> well, no. i don't think it means it's over because, again, as you pointed out earlier, very few refineries that can make these boutique blends that are unique to california. you have is really perfect storm on the rise in with captain trade in the low carbon fuel standard. this is really just the beginning of problems for the california motor fuel market. gerri: i

most of a still look for california. -- loomost of us still look to california. what governor brown said about the traditional politics is all about taking the thing in making it fresh. to a certain extent, i tried to be a writer in college. i failed miserably. a professor said everything has been set but not everything has been said superbly. even if it had, everything must be said freshly again and again. you have to see a fresh lead to a certain extent. the real issue with -- in terms of asking the president, what are the things that matter most, a bass part of those profits would be invested in california. colorado would have a significant -- pretty much every state in the country would benefit. you look at the companies based in silicon valley. they have offices, you want to expand your business, think about those young people in colorado. everything -- stated say the same thing. that money would get spent over the country very rapidly. >> thank you. governor brown. >> it is a good idea to bring back that $1 trillion sitting out there. how to do that, it rem

it was a distinctly western town of a california variety. it was a railroad depot for the southern pacific. warren's father had been blacklisted after the strike, but they were so desperate for workers in the interior of california, that they accepted him in bakersfield. bakersfield was sharply divided by class and by race, though its racial divisions, fundamental racial division was not so much between its white and black residents as its white and chinese population. it was a bustling center of gambling and prostitution with a thick dash of lawlessness. it's a place where a shootout on main street was still an occasional occurrence can. warren's childhood, for the most part, was pleasant enough. the family was not rich, but he and his sister were well taken care of. there was food to eat, they got books as presents on hold days, and he earned extra pay. there was also the palpable fact of life on the frontier. as a teenager he worked for the southern pacific, a company that employed his father, and the dominant economic and political force

and california used to have an education system that was the envy of the nation. how do you feel we get that back? >> well, it is a tragedy that what used to be one of the top systems in the country is now i think, 47th according to a recent standard that i saw. the senator and folks in his party in sacramento believe that spending more is the answer. that is clearly not the case. i think that los angeles county they spent $9,000 per student in public school system. the average cost of private school $6,000. i support the voucher system that allow the parents to put the children in charter schools, private schools, what we cannot escape is that the school system is broken, again, let's ask the senator, why did the senator support, why did the senator oppose legislation that one of his fellow democrats proposed that would remove dangerous teachers that were convicted of crimes from the classroom and from the public roles? i would like to know the answer to that. >> thank you. mr. leno. >> the 47 out of 50 states figure that miss dillan used is not in educational ou

we have good situational awareness what's going on in the state of california. they normally put us in an alert stat us so we're prepared to respond in an attack mode. i don't often work with chief chaney in southern california, about a month ago we had 9 aircraft at our peak working fires throughout northern california if that answers your question. >> any other responses? >> i wanted to touch -- can you hear me now? i wanted to touch on that last topic as far as the command control because what we have here in the marine corps is similar to the navy. we have the installation, the regional installation command and also partners with the operational foresite. we allow the operational foresight, we maintain those but then we coordinate, cooperate, with the operational foresight once the call comes in for support. so we're able to do that obviously through memorandum of understandings and we have agreements and our wing operating orders allow for the fact the operational control, at least under operational response, maintains with the operators. the third aircraft

but fundamentally it really isn't happening in california. the leading cause of death on death row is old age or suicide. the death row population has gone from 0 to 730. we haven't had an execution in six years. so there's some people who say, look, let's just get rifd this, it can't be fixed. on the other hand, opponents say wait a minute, it can be fixed with reform, but the legislature won't do the reforms. these things die in committee to speed up the appeals process and things like that. the polls show that it's very tight on prop 34, split right down the middle. so the yes side has a lot of money. they raised about $4 million. the opponents -- there doesn't seem to be any organized campaign against ending the death penalty. >> one of the arguments i have heard on the other side on this one is if you get rid of the death penalty, it takes away sort of a key bargaining chip that law enforcement has when they're looking at some of these convicted -- or convictions. what about that argument? >> i suppose that's possible. d.a.s overwhelming

almost double what california is. that is a tra vesty. i think that if you look at the fee increases for uc and higher education it is a absolute crime that we are divesting in our future. we need to make sure that we invest in education. education is the way that we grow our economy. and it is the way that we grow our jobs and to make sure that we invest in all of the future. i was an investment. >> california invested in me and my education. >> mr. bryer, how do we get that great reputation back for great education. >> the first thing is that i agree that we have to fund our schools, first and foremost, that is not enough. we have to improve our school system and my grandfather actually one of the first people that i was told to originate the education code he would be turning over in his grave to see that it was 5,000 pages more than any other state, texas is next with 3,000. we have to have sacramento stop from tying up our schools from making decisions and i think that we have to encourage good teachers and career paths and higher co
