please join me in welcoming ed meese mr. meese? [applause] >> thank you, john, and thank you, ladies and gentlemen. we have been over the last week celebrating or commemorating is a better term the events of the 11th of september, 2001. it was the first attack on a city or cities, actually, in the mainland of the united states since the war of 1812. it was a, perhaps, one of the most traumatic events in the lives of many of the people that are here. to me, it ranks with an event that i was witnessing as a younger person, pearl harbor. but it caused tremendous burdens to fall on our law enforcement agencies, on our first responders of the fire services and so on. it was, obviously, a tragic event for so many families in this country, and i think that every citizen felt this personally in one way or another the nothing more than observing what went on on television for those fateful hours. but it also had a tremendous impact on our legal system and on our judicial system. and that is something that is still going on today as many of

ed meese, talk about that and how that came about. today taxes are so much in the air and i think a lot of people look back to president reagan as the originator. >> what happened is he was persuaded by some people in the administration at that time to go along with a compromise, passion of a compromise with tip o'neill and the democrats. and the compromise was supposed to be that there would be $3 of deficit reduction for every dollar of tax increase. well, as a result, what happened was the congress quickly passed tax increase and we never got the deficit reduction, the spending reductions. as a matter of fact, somebody had estimated most states might have squeezed out with 58 cents rather than $3. ronald reagan always said that was the worst mistake he made during his administration was agreeing to a deficit, agreeing to a compromise that allowed them to raise taxes first and then supposedly come with the spending cuts. and i think that is a pretty good lesson for us today also as we look at the situation that we are facing at the

he was convicted last month in the murder of brian meese. meese was a customer when green walked in with that a gun at an almost immediate shot him -- and almost immediately shot him. >> republican candidates are calling for less regulation and lower taxes. last night's debate took place in michigan. mitt romney said no more belt. bailouts. >> commerce, education and the -- let's see. i can't. >> the audience protests of one the moderator asked herman cain about the sexual claims against him. >> 50 degrees on tv hill. a man steals a donation jar and it is caught on camera. >> on wanted bank fees are helping credit unions -- unwanted bank fees. >> you cannot see a thing for all that fog. bge's instant discounts got our homeowner to switch to energy star® cfl bulbs. 3-way cfls really click with my style. learn to speak the language of energy efficiency at bgesmartenergy.com. >> welcome back. 5:09. this is 95 south of the tydings memorial bridge. degrees downtown appeared the fog is more widespread. visibility at mmaybe down to a quarter of a

he says was under threat from outside forces from the united states in the late 1970's and viet in a meese -- vietnamese. and that is strong defense. no remorse at all and there were atrocities committed under him and the policies and the other senior leaders which caused terrible events. >> guy, we'll leave it there. he is following the trial of the khamir rouge. they diffused five roadside bombs near the massacre, the worst case of political violence in philippine history. members are on trial accused of murdering 57 people in 2009. the pace of this trial is frustratingly slow and the victims' relatives are filing a number of civil cases. there is a claim they could have prevented the killings. >> two years ago, on a hillside in the southern phillipines, 57 people were brutally massacred, their bodies dumped in a special prepared mass grave. the victims were the relatives of a candidate for a forthcoming election and 30 journalists who were traveling with them. the candidates' election rival, is the main suspect for the murders. he is now on trial, as his father, but as the 197 people ac

than what happened in oakland and for this reason, perata is very much a beloved figure but he madden meese as well. so the way to win a ranked choice election as we found out after the fact is to be everybody's first and/or second choice, not everybody's first, second, someth or 5th place choice. ed lee is a slightly more beloved figure, although hess competitors have painted him negatively. the public likes him. so statistically the likelihood he would be in the first three preferences is greater than it would have been in the oakland race which means this is still his race to lose. ooh. >> we did though see a number of allegations by the op ed lee, people are saying his supporters have been filling out ballots for people. what do you think is going to come of those allegations? do they just go, we haven't heard about them much lately, but will they still be investigated? >> interview: i think that most of these kinds of claims, unless they are criminal in nature, are ethics violations claims. we had the same thing in the oakland race as well. and we find them in other cities. the problem

. >> gary, gary, can you meese come out to the service desk. >> reporter: to boost holiday sales, a lot of companies plan to open at midnight or earlier on thanksgiving. some target employees would have to report at 11:00 p.m. on thanksgiving for their 10- hour shift. partner ago tendant anthony hardwick was so upset about that, he started a petition on change.org asking the company to save thanksgiving. we spoke to hardwick by telephone in omaha about the online petition that nearly 190,000 people have signed in just two weeks. >> the petition is not about me. it is about everybody that i work with, everybody that work in retail. this is just an opportunity for us, all of us, to stand up and say no, come organization leave us one day to spend with our families. >> reporter: a sentiment shared by this target employee in rockville. >> to come out at 11:00 at knit on thanksgiving. i would rather be home with the family. >> reporter: plenty of shoppers outside the rockville store said they support hardwake's petition. >> people expect to have thanksgiving day off. i think it is one of a fe

meese remind me again because i'll bring you your pumpkin pie on friday. >> make sure there is enough buzz our friends at wpjc. they'll all be there. >> i'm not feeding all of them. >> it better be a big pie, baby. let's say good morning to the crew in sky position. you will find that your lanes are open. here we are passing mva. we are starting to do the bumper to bumper thing. but the lanes are open in towards rockville o beltway, you will fine lanes are open, no incidents to report here at university boulevard. the pace is good leaving 59 headed around towards georgia avenue. southbound 95, 259 quiet out of laurel. no problems reported on 66 but it is starting to slow as you make your way in from fair oaks headed in towards vienna. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >>> republican presidential candidate herman cain makes a calendar change that has him questioning if he is getting ready to drop out of the race. cain has been under fire for high row file allegations of an affair and sexual harassment brought forward by several women. yesterday, cain told aides he is reasse

i ameal for my democrat friends meese understand, you have to cut the spending because it is not going to work. ultimately, we are not going to be able to save this economy which is what we are interested in. >>neil: who economists, and we have talked about this, saying the underlying economy is not that bad and is picking up from the worst level, that is the perspective, but that is the trend that should be business' friend and ignore the soap opera in washington. >>guest: well, how could the economy pick up? from the 20 some odd million people out of work it is not picking up and they are not finding jobs. that is the end of the game. the end game is how many people are working? how many people are out of work? , yes, companies making money because they have pulled next they have let go of people, they are not expanding so they are raising cash and they are not spending. the key is businesses are not going anywhere, and job creators are lions, which we have talked about, you and i, we talk about the issues that are driving, driving, driving companies away from hiring people. nothing

. >> meese been busy today. union square, santa clara. and jeff ranieri has the forecast. >>> yes, it was real nice out there for some of you. for others, the cloud cover did linger for quite a bit throughout the coastline, also the north bay. we want you to know we're monitoring the shot at union square for the tree lighting. the macy's tree. we'll bring that when it does happen. 60 for the high in santa rosa. 61 in oakland. 63 in san jose. 56 in san francisco. and the east bay, low 60s. a warm spot in the north bay with low to mid 60s today and plenty of sunshine. now in san francisco, the embarkadero plaza lit up for the holidays. temperatures in the mid 50s. a wind out here. once that wind kind of kicks up and throughout those downtown buildings, it surely feels like the 40s. if you are heading out to go shopping in san francisco, bring the jacket, wear those layers. 56 in athens. the winds fairly light. that is going to aide investment fog development. we'll find plenty of patchy fog. also areas of dense fog where visibility could be

our leadoff question is from the honorable ed meese, the former attorney general of the united states who is representing the heritage foundation. >> at least 42 terrorist attacks aimed at the united states have been thwarted since 9/11. tools like the patriot act have been instrumental in finding and stopping terrorists. shouldn't we have a long range extension of the investigative powers contained in that act so that our law enforcement officers can have the tools that they need? >> speaker gingrich, only this weekend there was an alleged terror plot uncovered in new york city. what do you think? >> well, i think that attorney general meese has raised a key point and the key distinction for the american people to recognize is the difference between national security requirements and criminal law requirements. i think it's desperately important that we preserve your right to be innocent until proven guilty if it's a matter of criminal law. but if you're trying to find somebody who may have a nuclear weapon that they are trying to bring into an american city, i think you want to use e

the meese told him five years and that was the extent of their investigation. they say they've never heard this audio tape until the other day. the same thing with syracuse university. it did conduct a four-month investigation in 2005. it's not clear why their investigation was in 2005, but they say they didn't hear the audio tape until our viewers heard the tame. >> the alleged victim who supplied the tape to the newspaper or espn, he didn't give it to the university or to police? >> no, he did not give to it the university. he didn't give it to the police. according to the university and police. he gave it to espn. he gave it to the newspaper, the syracuse post standard. why didn't they do a story on it back in 2002? the fact is that courts have statute of limitations, journalists don't. we do stories when they're good, when they're important and when we have the facts. both of those news organizations felt like they didn't have the facts. but it's fair to ask them are there other reasons you didn't do the story back then. we went to the post standard, they s

i have a young white meese, and we had a conversation, a friend of mine, about it where on college campuses now in the u.s. kids are just picking up. there's nothing of a relationship. so i keep asking my good friend what is looking up. do they just look at each other and say let's go hook up? is it just because that is the feeling that comes across. young people are no more happy if there is no more space for let's talk and progressed to the next level it's from here to hear. and until we can change that, we are in trouble. and this is a global disease. this is a global disease. or the young people that we are rolling back our lives to come of the work and the we are at the university of california's center and we talked about the issue and the question i think about the whole issue thus in securities of women and think about the global media and how sex has taken over it is a point that comes from research, and in that book women were in peace and they did a research project. they say the impact of the war, the conflict on women's lives is a reflection of the interaction bring peace time.

edwin meese agree with me. as it turned out, everything was fine. vice president bush was so conscious of the fact that he had been the last standing competitor that when he came back to washington, there were going to take a helicopter and land on the south lawn. he said, no, you are not. that is where the president land. we will go to the naval observatory, the vice president's residence. >> what was the relationship between president ford and president reagan like, especially after the 1976 primary challenge? question.a comparison [laughter] giving awaynk i'm any secrets to say not all that good at that time. it later became better. that was a very tough primary. and it is quite natural that in a competition like that, there will be some tension and there was some. and there was some on both sides. i've written two books about my political and public service. the last one was more about my political service. i was telling susan earlier, there is a chapter where i am sitting in the oval office with president reagan, just the two of us, because i w

to check the bridges, the westbound toll is still a significant back up almost to the macarthur meese and grand ave. 16 minutes-18 minutes from the macarthur mmes-maze. earlier, the accident near ploward road has been cleared but west 92 is fairly clear. easy drive from marin county and also the drive through marin county on 1 0 1 south bound. 9:19. >>ericka: good morning, george. let me bring you up to speed on the red flag warnings that went into effect at 6:00 a.m. today, until 6:00 a.m. thursday. gusting winds up boards of 40 m.p.h.! of por of words--the wid reach 40 m.p.h. currently, through fairfield, 18 m.p.h. wind speed in concord. by this afternoon, gusting at 2:00 p.m. with wind speeds at 35 m.p.h. and and santa rosa, 22 mph overnight, we will continue to see the windy and gusting conditions. later, york 3:00 p.m. temperatures will see 70's. 78 degrees expected in redwood city. 75 in oakland. we will see plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the 80s. 82 degrees in santa rosa. now, let me show you the satellite and radar activity and the pacific northwest. this cold front wi

we said that we give a shoutout to the first person that tweet meese the right answer. that's anthony. congratulations. nicely done. >>> herman cain's campaign said it raised more than $400,000 monday. this after the story broke alleging he had been accused of sexual harassment. also, super pa kc fund-raising declaring the left is trying trying to destroy herman cain like clarence thomas. they are engaging in a high-tech lynching. fair game for my guest today, with us democratic strategist maria cardona and christopher, associate dean of the georgetown university school of continuing studies. rush limbaugh said this is not a new story. called it partisan politics. ann coulter called the charges outrageous. they also both blamed liberals. is this a good strategy? >> no. it is actually a disastrous strategy. now, if we want to have a conversation about how black conservatives are treated and black conservatives being looked at as an enigma we can have that conversation. the problem here is to use this racial hyperbole about high-tech lynching and all of those kinds of thi
