i'm very impressed with the america's cup organization. my comments are relevant because i am a volunteer and participated solely by choice. i have a small business located in the city. i support the cup generally because i think it's great for the international reputation of the city specifically the concert series because the multiple head line activities, positive artistic and cultural race to the environment. this content in the atmosphere is a good thing for the america's cup and for san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. i name is louis and i work in the area as well. i really support the america's cup tremendously but i feel as a resident this is going to have a very negative impact on us from the noise level from the outdoor concerts that will go until 11:00 at night and even with them reducing them down to 30 concerts for those months that they plan on having them, i think it will be a true inconvenience and horrible traffic congestion will occur. i also really believe that it could have a negative impact on property va

it's going to feature the america's cup concert part of the america's cup event. it's scheduled soon in spring of 2013 and will go through october 2013 . the seating capacity is 4-6,000. there will be food and vendor has applied for liquor license for the entire site. the board of supervisors did approve the event program and in your packet you will find a list of live meetings and their outreach for this project and also letters from dwellers with their expressed concern and there are letters from live nation and just received a new letter from the america's cup live nation folks. anyway, all these letters are responding to the concerns raised by the neighbors. we also received a number of letters, possibly a hundred of support. >> okay. welcome. i think you have to use the other mic. >> sorry. >> president commissioners lee, perez, hyde and akers, thank you for your time. i'm the chief operating officer for live nation in northern california. we are requesting a permit for the 5 months of america's cup pavilion that we have partnered on for the summer of racing

america's spirit remains undimmed. our faith in each other and our love for this country, our common creed that cuts across whatever superficial differences we may have, that's what makes us strong. that's why we endure. in the days to come, we will remain vigilant as a nation and i have no doubt the city of boston and those around it will continue to respond in the same proud and hoe roik way they have thus far and their fellow americans will be right there with them every step of the way. may god bless the people of boston and the united states of america. >> hi, i'm tim scott, senator from south carolina. this week, on patriot's day a day that celebrates the beginning of our kyntry's journey toward freedom, a horrific stradge dioccurred. the boston marathon bombing left all of us with a heavy heart and we pray for the victims and their families. however the perpetrates of this act hoped to shake the confidence of a city, they only strengthened the resolve of the nation this became apparent immediately as first respo

i live in north america and i don't ax clued state actors i think the definition which was mentioned earlier which is the same one used by the un and the f.b.i. and the cia is the is the use of violence or the threat of violence against civilians for a political purpose that's a very good definition and it implies a part of the world to a state actor as to a an individual and certainly includes almost all of us foreign policy for him your thoughts. peter i'm going to try and you know i think it's about time i disappoint william one more time because the reason i have to bring religion back into the picture is because five six seven million american muslims they're all being looked upon as suspects you know you have to walk into my shoes to understand why that discussion is relevant to us because all of a sudden when the bombing happened in boston i was seeing patients in the hospital that day and all of a sudden i knew all my god please don't make him a muslim you know we're trying to raise our found need to use it why does it have to do with american citizens and this is very diffic

and that's what america including especially white america, does not understand. one of the few speeches, by the way, in which a white leader acknowledged that was johnson. before he said, "we shall overcome," he said "so it was at appomattox, so it was at concord, so it was at selma last week, when fate and destiny met in the same moment." so, he was putting a nonviolent black movement not only in the heart of american patriotism, but in the vanguard heart of american patriotism. >> but do you admit that nonviolence ultimately didn't work? that it couldn't change america? >> no. >> no. it did change america. >> it did change america. >> it changed it radically for me. i grew up in arkansas and i know what fear is. what the movement did, nonviolence did, was to take the terror out of the south. and for the first time, you can not only go to hotels, but you can go all over the south without much fear of harm. that is a major achievement. >> certainly i recognize that. >> the white south was the poorest region of the country when it was segregated. it was totally pr

well just because i'm speaking from from north america and so for us when we talk about terrorism that's what we're typically talking about i understand that that's not the case for example if you go to the middle east and say your you want to research terrorism they may well think that you're talking about government attacks against civilians academics so tend to separate. we use a different definition when non-state act. attack civilians versus when say down let's marry you think it's very. very real and immediate isn't it it's very convenient well it's certainly it's certainly convenient for our research because when it's convenient for a guy who manufacture and it's convenient for you to me i think like you know it's can feel inconvenient for governments for him what do you think about that exactly and i think if you look around you can find over one hundred different definitions of the word terrorism and there is a reason why we can never agree on any one definition peter the reason is that it's a derogatory term it's a horrible label that nobody wants to accept so therefore it's ve

should america be doing more? is the onus really on china rather than america to control what's going on? >> well, i think first of all, robin hit it exactly right. nobody fully understands what kim jong-un is thinking. nobody understands the whole nature of the regime. it's a very hidden, very secret and many ways very strange regime. i don't think the south koreans understand it. the japanese understand it or the chinese. all of us are standing around watching this guy who's dangerous. he's not likely to do anything and if i were betting i would bet he probably won't but it's a pretty high stakes bet. seoul, korea, capital of the country, the largest city, is within easy reach of his artillery pieces. he doesn't need a very long range to kill millions of south koreans or millions of japanese. nobody, by the way, ever notices that that same range covers a good part of china. so all of them have a good reason to be worried. i think the president, this may shock you, piers, but i think the president has actually be

it's going to be great and after the america's cup ends at 4:00. our neighborhood certainly the cafes and restaurant expect and hope people will come use them. i wish to say this is about the details of this plan and residents elsewhere are very reasonably concerned that this is a plan that fell out of the sky. personally, i organization has been following america's cup since day 1. in november of 2010 i helped draft a letter that we were excited that the venue was moved from pier 32 to pier 27 and 29. what we were focusing on was the races. we are prepared to deal with the trash and noise associated with the races. people were excited for the most part, but the concerts did really fall out of the sky. so that said, we are happy that the america's cup and live nation have put some meat on the bones of some of the promises to make sure noise doesn't exceed certain levels and they agreed to pay a mandatory fine of $5,000. we hope they keep their promises and confident they will. >> okay. next speaker. >> my ma'am -- name is gary. resident of lombardy

i want to say one other thing about the america's cup. have we really reached anti to the community? that i want to make sure that it's for kids and anybody can come down to the port and this port belongs to every citizen in san francisco and wow. how do we engage them? you need to come down and engage this. that is one of the things i want to say we're celebrating a hundred and 50 years. a lot of people don't know about this anniversary. i would like to tell many others about this. i want the community to be more involved i want them to say i can get my head around the america's cup and what it can do for our community 5, 10 years from now. i like what you were saying about the benefits down the line >> i think most point - what is this bringing to my constituents. to link all the city's neighborhoods to this waterfront. the great improvements we've seen here. to reintroduce the city. as part of this job i've learned a lot about this port. a couple of weeks i sat down and watched all the great things that have been done in the port of sa

america is a great country. but to help somebody help me pay the taxes makes me angry and it's wrong. it's wrong. you know, i look at what's happened in those former soviet block countries, mr. speaker. you know, those former soviet block countries have all moved to flat taxes? what they found is when they have high tax rates and very difficult to comply with, folks just didn't pay their taxes at all. but when they lowered that rate, made it flat, applied it across a broad base, folks began to voluntarily emit -- remit their taxes. it's not rocket science. it's what we've seen in example after example after example around the world. $168 billion, mr. speaker, americans waste simply trying to pay their taxes each year. now, why is tax reform so complicated? i have another quote from the president here, mr. speaker. this is from his weekly address back in december. he was talking about the fiscal cliff, to be fair, put this in context. he said, we've got to do what it takes to protect the middle class. now, there'

so are there any lessons for america here? virginia gun advocate has a clear answer. >> we're not australia. it's a very different culture, different people, different everything. >> there's no similarity with australia. australia is a former british colony with a world frontier that was tamed by brave men who also wiped out almost an entire indigenous population, and we are? not similar to that, right? >> right. >> right. because unlike australia, we americans know when the guns are taken away, tyranny inevitably follows. >> the founding fathers knew that governments tend to grow beyond their means. in america, we're stepping in the direction of a police state. >> is that really happening, phillip, or is that some kind of crazy paranoia? >> we have police. they're now wearing ninja suits if you will. you don't even know they're police necessarily. they have the black masks on and everything. >> it isn't crazy paranoia. you're frightened about ninja police. >> ninja police, yes. >> yeah, ninja police. >> yes. >> sadly without
