Were glad you joined us. Sunday, may 24th. Im claudine wong. Im mike mibach. Did i see the sun in the north bay but not until 2 00 or 3 00 in the afternoon. I did enjoy it. Mark is in for rosemary today. Today should be better. I could see breaks in the clouds driving to work. Thats a good sign today will be warmer than yesterday. In fact the warmest locations will be flirting with 80 degrees for this afternoon but right now low clouds and fog. Looking to sfo, some patchy overcast. The clouds wi...

It comes back operationally, we do tolerate failure. The first thing in the field, this is not a zero mentality. People make mistakes. Theres fog and friction and we reward innovation and i think it exists. Constitutional ly institutionally, its a little harder. But in the acquisition realm the processes are not they grind on so its not that they dont reward innovation. Its that innovation and new ideas dont naturally arise from it because theres a risk aversion. Everybody wants a piece of it, t...

He has been sitting in a clinical, clerical position, even though hes a nurse specialist. Hes essentially doing no functions. Hes a Windowless Office, reporting to clerks who need, you know, something moved or carried around. When he has a masters degree and is going for his ph. D. , and he is on active duty, just this past weekend, in the reserves. They have now proposed on friday, he did contact the office of special counsel, back in august when he was first detailed. And they did propose disc...

Million dollar. Whats the difference between those two and is that hypocrisy . Its completely different. The sgr is an expense that we have. Its not going to go away. The longer we prolong it the more expensive it is. It is an investment in people in that bill. We not only have the doc fix, i call it a remedy for our seniors. We all invest in the health of our children. One of the first bills we sent to president obamas desk we had been passing it but couldnt get it signed until we had a democra...

Been. Could not be easily persuaded to reform themselves when being told to do so by the greatest rent seekers who thought that reforms were never for them. Unsurprisingly as a result of this practice debts, both private and public, skyrocketed. Banks seized to function as credit providing institutions. Investment dried up. And all we have had over the last few years was a slowing down of the rate of our economy as all the fat went, then the plus muscle, then we were proceeding to the bones of o...

Come to the conclusion that whistleblowers have made allegations that were not based on fact, and you can do that pretty expeditiously, it seems to me. And you cant do as expeditious an investigation when it comes to holding a retaliator against a whistleblower accountable. Because guess what, the numbers support what im saying. You can give whatever explanation you want. But im telling you right now, the level of disrespect that you are showing to the veterans, who by the way, if and we know al...

But your expectation that the Transpacific Partnership will happen this year. Professor. Lets give him a call in a minute here. We only have have a few more minutes. Im going to take your questions quickly from the back. First of all is it your expectation this will be concluded this year . Secondly, on the b. I. T. Did i understand you correctly to say that you would hope and expect that the b. I. T. Will be completed and ratifyied before the end of the Obama Administration . And my question re...

Business to keep track of all of its transactions and all of its customers. And if the government can then just say, all right, now, give us all that information, then theyve reduced the Fourth Amendment to a nullity. The final point ill make is that dont be confused with the idea that theres Something Special about hotels. The amount of government regulation here is massive. The reason that the deputy solicitor general is here on behalf of the United States is that there are hundreds and hundre...

Jurisdiction spirit is that include, are you comparing the little hamlet in indiana with los angeles or new york . I dont know the answer to the 21 question of the particular city. They can do that by keeping their own record. You have conceded they can require the information as a matter of law. Thats my point is this. My point is because they can do it here, they can do it anywhere pair the government can require any business to keep track of all of its transactions and customers and if the go...

The funding does not come from congress. It comes from transfers. This is 600 million without congressional oversight over the agencies fund. Congressional oversight is a constitutional function. This agency has proven it is not a good steward for expenses. A prime example, the cost overruns of the headquarters currently. Inspector general estimated a cost overrun of that renovation. Current estimates put it at 600 per foot. That is more per square foot than the cost to build the bellagio casino...
