again, we brought this up to brown mr. brown he responded with frosted glass but only the changes he wants. >> hello, i'm a resident on eureka street been there for 40 years. we've been there long-term. it's a wonderful block and about how far architecture in our view this project is out of scale with the existing neighborhood. we've been able to accommodate two children by adding a room down and it's been adequate. this neighborhood we've all worked together and tried to honor each other's view vuks projects have been sensitive to the nodes even if neighborhoods. we feel this is out of scale with our neighborhood. if this is approved then the next house to sell will be wanting to be remodeled and soon we've lost the character of our neighborhood. thank you very much. >> are there any additional speakers in support of the dr. okay. seeing none. project sponsor, please. >> good afternoon president fong and honorable commissioners. i'm the owner on eureka and proposing the project also my project architect is here if you hav

. >> go on, mr. brown. >> band wept next door to where the secretary responded with a graceful speech. the following morning the procession moved shortly from get tes berg to the cemetery. there were several bands including the artillery band of baltimore. president lincoln rode a horse which seemed much too small for him and his appearance caused considerable amusement. when the procession reached the cemetery, there was another delay. after music by. the band, senator delivered a notable address, which we are pleased to quote here with. standing beneath thisser is reen sky, overlooking these broad fields now with the labors of the waiting year, the mighty allegheny towering before us, the graves of our brethren, to break the eloquent silence of god and nature. beautiful speech, men, but it it takes up seven columns. although he spoke for nearly two hours, senator everette with his grace. ful form, his clear voice held his audience remarkably. >> it says in this paper president lincoln said in his s

mr brown it's difficult to find another country where the. public personalities have a such long history all public disagreement i think your feud with the country's prime minister and the county goes back decades when you first criticized him for his performance as as a member of parliament and i know that later on the you tried to make inroads into politics your south do you think you would have made a batter politician first of all my it is true that i criticised him at the beginning his political career. but i'd forgotten about it and i suspect he'd forgotten about it all he did and every interview with him earlier today and he said that he made a point that you try to enter politics and were unsuccessful so obviously he remembers but he's mistaken on that as well but i i was invited by his party leader at the time john bruton to. untasty european elections in one thousand nine hundred four and i gave it about an hour's consideration decided i would not i subsequently when there seemed to be general election imminent but again asked by th

i'm bill pope i'm a resident of douglas street i live a block from mr. brown. i've known him for 15 years. i've looked at the plans and several e-mails back and forth and i'm surprised we're here. it shows a house of 26 hundred square feet. it didn't seem like a motor vehicle mansion to me the front facade not being touched it was far enough from the sidewalk not to be up setting. the side elevator you can't see. i'm at a loss awhile we're here. he's been a honest and problem solver i can't believe that this hadn't been worked without a public hearing but here we are. my thoughts are the planning department with the limited experience i have with my own project those are professional people. they know the code and try to balance the needs of the city and a take into account the concerns of neighborhoods. they spent a year looking at this. everything i've seen in the dr has been addressed and the planning department residential design and historical preservation says that is the best we can do. i don't know what we can solve by rehashing what we've enliven both.

this doesn't meet the change and mr. brown can expand his square footage the same as other mansions. it was done as san francisco legal specks but a one-size-fits-all lou law is not a fit. when you look at the proportionality it's massive. this is even convertible this is 25 feet i don't know why those are equal i measured them this morning >> we've done everything we could. >> thank you sir, your time is up. >> thank you. >> i want to call names of speakers in supportive of the

mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. this past monday i visited a senior center in youngstown, ohio and met with seniors and others talking about the -- what they hear as threats to social security. they hear some of the wise people in this town, if you will, some of the people in on television rand the political pundits and people on the newspaper editorial boards say we need to restructure entitlements or reform entitlements and that scares them because they don't get really specific. they obviou often in those stats about reforming entitlements don't scratch down to people saying it and the reporters asking them questions don't really scratch beneath the surface and say, what does that really mean? it usually means cutting social security benefits. but more that have in a second. i spoke with gloria currently living in subsidized housing. she has lived on social security since her h.u.s. death. her benefits barely cover the cost of housing and food. she told she would not know what to do, to be able to get along in he

i knew mrs. brown personally. it's accurate but because of my timeframe i'll make a few points. now, one information that i received is there are more unsheltered homeless adults 1 thousand 2 hundred and 74 live in district 10 than any other part of the city. we're talking about one hundred let alone over one thousand people. and i just don't understand how, of course, the last statistic i read 40 percent of the bayview homeless made less than $20,000. and to not support this particular proposal would not be conducive for the city i know you, mr. farrell and mr. moore and mr. john avalos i believe you're a fair person and i believe you will vote and recommend to the board to approve this proposal. thank you, sir >> supervisor mar. >> i want to thank the reverend for being here reverend. >> could we get the other microphone that's not picked up on our audience. >> hi, i'm carla. i am - i'm going to read from this. myself and my family are bayview property owners i'm 28 san francisco resident i'm fully in support of the homeless population. i'm here to urge you to please strip the

mr. brown: thank you. earlier this afternoon, mr. president, i appeared with senator blunt, my republican friend from missouri, in front of senator rockefeller's commerce committee to talk about our bipartisan legislation with manufacturing hubs that would promote new technologies to make our country a leader. let me illustrate by this, mr. president. along the ohio turnpike from toledo to lorain to cleveland to sort of akron to youngstown, much of the auto industry grew up along that turnpike from glass that would go for wields in -- windshields in toledo, steel in lorain and cleveland for the fenders and thehoods in much of the car to rubber in akron for tires, the world's leading tire manufacturer, to assembly in youngstown where today the chevy cruz is made, you see this huge plant that big letters, chevy cruze, if you're not from ohio and may not have seen one, just expansiveness of this plant is pretty remarkable. ought oation were made or assembled all along this turnpike. mr. president, the reason this matters in dngs -- in a

. >> thank you, good evening, mr. brown, hello. >> hi. paula brown, and i would like to use the overhead please? >> as i always come, this is my son. he was murdered august 14th, 2006. and i still have no justice, and the perpetrators are still out doing what they want to do. i know that i am going to put the names of them down and i know seven of them in jail, and one of them is dead. but, some of them are out still, living their lives the way that they want to and having children, still not doing for what they have done to my son, especially thomas. the shooter, and he shot my son. many times, harris moffit was there and i send word to him in jail he said that he was there but he said that he did not shoot my child and i don't believe that. i still want justice for my child. i have this because the mayor said again, i know who killed her son, killed her son, he said, on thursday, the da knows who killed her son. the police know who killed her son. he is serious, they can name names, and identify individuals, and even list addresses. peo

brown and his brown act say about the four commissioners? we can say hey what is going on, i like your shoes and good party and we can't talk about the environment commission business? >> we were not using survey monkey at the party. >> yeah. >> if you want to go ahead i will find the exact. >> okay, just curious, because there might be a time when all seven of us are there celebrating, what do we do, we look the other way and we just say, you know, what happened to the 9ers this weekend? what do we do? >> we under no circumstances will talk about that. we could talk about the english premier league you will get at least two of us interested in that. subject matter. >> okay. and then, i don't think that we have action. yes. >> as stated in the city's good government guide which is a summary of the public meeting laws and public record laws, the attendance of a majorty members of at policy body at a recreational gathering is not a meeting, it is one gathering is not sponsored or organized by or for the policy body. and two, the majority of th

brown's all that maybe it would be best not to use d.c.p. until you were sure your workers wouldn't be affected this general waiting for the evidence to pile up. the first to hold hands but you still don't know if our film will be screened at all. or. the festival board calls us to an urgent crisis when they've received new letters from don't. assume they're not even on a plane. and they make it very clear to us people no longer defend my from. the call to my accomplices dispersed. we just come out of the meeting. just the bottom line. it's not really finished but they. think they will get sued so hard not to risk their own organization the fessor game up with different options but the options are never going to be in your favor in the options were i mean i was in the room with the options where they were going to show up next year where you can get distribution or why don't we just show clips and we can do a discussion around it but all along that was going to do anything for your for your film and then also we felt as you know on the publi

hello, mr. brown. great to have you in the studio. he looks so normal, josh. >> isn't that amaze something. >> it's amazing. nice to have you here. switching gears, in case you missed some of today's top moments on cnbc, here's a rapid-fire recap in tonight's executive edge. ♪ >> it's a revolution going on in energy. you have as much energy in the ground has been unexploited as we've taken out of the ground for the last 100 years, it's all in america. that makes it so we can't be subject any longer to extortion by unfriendly countries. can't do a 1970s embargo any more. >> it's hard to say looking at the fundamentals of the business, that our change in management should be a sell signal. i think the fact that i'm staying around as chairman to work with darren to make sure we get a smooth transition for shareholders and for the company should be reassuring as well. >> the demand for organic continues to grow double digit rates, the supply chain has also grown, rules of the road are clear with the law. for us, actually, we have to dou

mr brown thank you very much for your time it's a privilege to talk to you when you began your long journalistic career i think it was clear who the journalists were and what was their status in the society what was their role but nowadays the media field is so broad so a diverse that but much everyone could be called a journalist i wonder how would you define journalism nowadays i think a defined in the same way as who i would have defined at the beginning of my career or as i hope i would have defined to my career. that our function is to hold institutions and persons of power accountable and that remains the primary role of journalists to operate in the current affairs arena and i think that remains the case but i think a couple of decades ago the main way you would do that would be through you know raking the market doing some investigative reporting but these days most of the people of your caliber and as i said to you are the most influential journalists in this country do these shows that primarily center on opinions rather than you know investigative stories and we can see t

brown and the brown act is that commissioner wald and monica worked to notice the meetings as a meeting of the committee of the whole that any or all of us can go to the meeting and this is not for action, but i can see that we are going to have a lot of stuff to work through around the green purchasing and the conversation of the item that we are continuing tonight, should that end up in the policy committee and i just throw out there that this is something that commissioner stephenson is interested in in the top priorities that if commissioner wald is into the idea to think about agendaizing all of the policy committee meetings because you never know when we might want to engage and show up and it will be properly noticed to have more than three commissioners present. >> if we could do that i would have absolutely no objection to it and i assume my fellow commissioners would not either and we would welcome the attendance of others. >> so we can do. >> i agree. >> commissioner josefowitz agrees. what do you think? >> fine with me. >> all right. >> all right. >> so, public comment on th

mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. i ask unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. brown: thank you, mr. president. it's with pride and humility i thank my colleagues for passing senate bill 381 last night. once passed by the house and signed by the president this will bill award congressional gold medals to the surviving world war ii heroes we know as the doolittle tokyo raiders. the effort to pass this bill has been a personal one for me. i thank 78 of my colleagues who have cosponsored the resolution. it proves the senate can reach consensus recognizing the service of men and women who have worn our nation's uniform. i want to thank secretary boozman who is my original republican counterpart in introducing this bill in february, also original cosponsor senators murray and baucus and tester and nelson and cantwell and schatz, original cosponsors. i wish that senator law-abiding had -- lautenberg, the last world war ii veteran in the senate, i wish he were here t

and we'll bring in the trial attorney mr. brown, thank you so much for being here. can you tell us if the lawyers for his girlfriend are able to talk about any of these past insdepts and showing perhaps his violence? >> thank you. at this point, his past violent incidents will not be coming up. they will come up as far as the state attorney office as to whether or not he poses a danger to the community. two questions are considered in a bail hearing, a person danger to a community and will they come to court. if there is no means was release where the community will be safe and past allegations of violence and the facts surrounding the present circumstances, that he needs to stay in custody and the judge agrees with him that's what happened. >> he's coming in now. how long would you expect it to last before they a ratify in the decision. >> i think those arguments will not take time to be made. the state will bring forth what they have. >> hold on. >> let's listen. >> the first appearance and everybody arrested in the state of florida is entitled to see a judge the

., about 200 of those and then there are direct communications from mr. blare to mr. bush and finally about 130 records of one to one mings between either mr. blare or mr. brown and president bush. >> ok. and is it likely that the u.s. is actually blocking these documents? i know that the u.k. government has said no, the u.s. doesn't have a veto on what is published in this inquiry, but is the likelihood they are trying to block these documents from being published? >> these are british documents and ultimately the decision rests with the british government. the issue here is the risk of damaging the special relationship between the u.s. and u.k. the u.s. government likes to keep its secrets secret. one of the norms of international relations is that private communications between leaders stay private. it wouldn't be a surprise if the u.s. you was sensitive about these documents being released. i haven't seen any specific evidence of direct communications between the u.s. and u.k. on this issue. >> this has been going on four years now, how significant is the impact?

. >> brown: mr. reck snore. >> well, this increase was intended to be temporary as part of the stimulus package. no one that i'm aware of ever advocated it being permanent and i don't even think the obama administration is seeking to make it permanent. but also i think it's very important that you can't talk about the safety net one program in isolation. we have over 80 different programs providing cash food housing and medical care to poor people. doesn't include social security and medicare. we spend close to a trillion dollars a year. that's about $10,000 for each low income american. this constitutes a cut of about of about one half of 1%. >> brown: are you suggesting people will not feel this right away? >> i'm suggesting very few people get food stamps alone and therefore you have to look at the overall package of assistance that they get which is closer to $27,000 to $30,000 a year. in that context this type of restraint is less alarming than if you just look at food stamps alone. very few fam

. >> brown: mr. sprigg, you can respond to that but i want to ask you about the gender issue here that we referred to, the cultural shift in favor in the public -- we see in various legislation, in polls of gay rights. do you see that legislation playing into that? do you see a broader cultural shift and do you see that legislation playing into it? >> well, i think we see situation in which people have been basically intimidated from saying anything negative about homosexuality in public because they don't want to be attacked, stigmatized, and vilified as being a bigot. and so we do see a growth in people saying, you know, that in a general sense they believe that gay people should have the same rights as anybody else. but they don't understand, i don't think, the implications of this kind of bill in terms of its intrusion on religious liberty and on free markets. i think particularly people are not well informed about the gender identity provisions of this. i mean, sexual orientation is a characteri
