[ laughter ] [cheers and applause] and there you go. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] originally, i wasn't going to talk about this race on my nightly broadcast. i gotta watch where i aim this thing. [laughter] but then i watched today's coffee joe morning and the funky bunch. [laughter] jim? >> we will speak with mark sanford coming up in a few minutes and be sending an invitation out to elizabeth colbert bus

that is to mark. go ahead, mark. mark travis. >> mark travis, okay. david: mark travis. >> david, you know i think the zero interest rate policy a prime mover as i believe other gentleman mentioned, the central bank easing around the world. you know, i kind ofck when i hear the s&p may break its record of 2007. so here we are five 1/2 years later and even though people, moan about the miniscule rates on money market, a lot of people would have been better off sitting tight in money market last five 1/2 years. so that is kind of interesting. and, as far as you know employment situation goes, we've got more people quitting. only reason the rate is dropping. we've got fiscal policy and, central bank policy that somewhere ought to question. david: there is questions, david, about what the consequences of that policy is. what the consequences, i know you're a big bull on japan. we'll get to your japan picks in a second, david. but isn't there some negative consequence with all this money printing that we haven't dealt with yet? >> there is, yeah, there is

lesley stahl first talked with mark zuckerberg in 2008, and three years later, we sat down with mark again. he gave us a preview of his site's new profile page, a change that would affect the 500 million people who were then using facebook, an idea that zuckerberg had cooked up in his dorm room at harvard. >> when you first thought about this--19 years old--is this what you had in mind? did you see this far into the future, or is it way beyond what you dreamed? >> well, it's funny. i mean, when i was getting started, you know, with my roommates in college, you never think that you could build this company or anything like that, right? because, i mean--it just--and we were college students, right? >> yeah. >> i mean, we were just building stuff because we thought it was cool. i do remember having these specific conversations with my friends where we thought, "you know, someone is gonna build this. someone is gonna build something that makes it so that people can stay connected with their friends and their family," but no way would we be the ones who were contributing to kind of leadin

funding other elements of the rebel groups that sounds reasonable don't you think mark why i disagree somewhat with what john said here the problem is it's not two sides the problem is that we have multiple sides here and speaking i think it's not just in the u.s. national. but i think it's in frankly the regional and global interest that extremists you take a look at the. at the nusra front and this is a proclamation that now we have a a broader a rocky syrian al-qaeda sponsored movement that's going to somehow free the syrian people that's ludicrous that's not what the syrian people want i think that some elements in syria have been very clear that this is a they want this to be a syrian problem they don't want interference from from al-qaeda they don't want interference from outside forces but where i would agree with john is there is a reality nations do have interests whether that's the gulf nations whether that's the united states and russia. but i do think that there is an imperative to support the free syrian army i think there's an imperative to support the people who are try

or a big disb liz: kid bolleionaire mark zucker entering. trying to rock the house with a big announcement. then a new product called facebook home, a new phone, or is it a new app or a new something? maybe comedian steven crowder can make sense of it, what did you make of the facebook home payment. >> we went from people tking about star wars, and now to facebook, i feel like a nerd at comic-con discussing why batman with take spiderman in a fight. liz: hang on. who is your favorite character, stay princess leah she is with us tonight. >>i have to tell you, stars on a jumbo lawn on my backyard, i would not lift the shade, sorry princess leia i have a wife. >> she is here right now. as far as facebook. i don't know about you, your guess is as good as mine, it drives point home, you can be a billionaire. in modern times and still be incapable of forming and ar it take lating a -- articulating a thought. i read everything that mark zuckerberg has put out, and i still don't know what it is. i think, do you mean facebook search? is that it? liz:

i would first like to introduce supervisor mark ferrel and to say that mark has been instrumental in every way towards bringing us to this point in our efforts and i would like to say that i think that mark is a great peace maker and has served us, this city well in this process. so i introduce to you supervisor mark ferrel. [ applause ] thank you lou and thank you all for being here today. today truly is a great day for the city of san francisco. we are proud to announce an agreement with cpmc that will bring two new hospitals to our city. two hospitals that meet the needs and concerns of our neighborhoods and alsoen insures that we have world health care for generations to come here in san francisco. this is going to create thousands of jobs and permanent jobs here in san francisco. san francisco is the envy of a number of cities, not only through our state but also through our country and now we can add two new hospitals. supervisor chu and i will talk about the details of the deals we made with cpmc and now i want to thank some people. first of all my colleagues, supervisor campo

hey, let's talk, watelter, sayi earlier mark sanford, i know mark. he has never talked to a crisis management expert in his life, i'm sure, but he did exactly what the best in the business would tell you which is get it all out there. i remember this rambling interview he gave to an a.p. reporter and said this is what i am and what i do back when the scandal first broke. i thought he was crazy. it ended up people like him for throwing everything out there and saying i'm a human, i screwed up, i'm frail. >> we certainly sympathize are human beings. people all have their failings. that said, certain thing about his scandal that stick with it like a hiking in the appalachian trails. i think he is going to go down in bartlett's quotation more than in american history for things like that. >> but there are second acts in american life? >> there are second acts. what is interesting you guys have pointed out that he just decided to let it all hang out there for the voters, you know? he didn't like cringe and shrink away or leave it up to his handlers. but a

we toss it over to mark tamayo. you say we could see snow out of the system that's moving through. >> snow showers tomorrow coming down to 5,000 feet. a snow producer in the sierra and maybe maybe a shower producer here in the bay area. but some cool temperatures right now lots of upper 40s or basically 50s out there. santa rosa 52 degrees right now. mountain view 55 and san jose 54. as far as those wind speeds we've been talking a lot about the strong winds. they have backed up a little bit but still pretty strong winds out of sfo right at 22 miles per hour. we have some high clouds and a little bit of activity in the radar. nothing too major just yet. as this moisture moves in, we could have a few scattered showers early tomorrow morning. not much in the way of shower cover but we could rule a chance of a spotty sprinkle. first thing tomorrow morning between 4:00 and 6:00. you will see this forecast model scales back on the cloud cover by the afternoon hours. that slight chance of a shower, cool and breezy to star

back to the panel, mark thompson, jimmy dore, lee fang. first of all, can you believe that mark sanford's even back? isn't that the most outrageous thing? >> it's like the marion berry when marion berry came back, i had the same feeling. i give him credit for reframing every question. what a great debate tactic. cenk: should you have used public money to have sex with your mistress. >> that's an interesting question. i'll turn it back at you -- wait a minute! let me read you his quote about bill clinton back in the day. he voted for impeachment and said: >> he served out his term as governor when he was caught. cenk: my god what right lee does this guy have to be even in that debate and how mental are the primary voters that they put this guy up as their candidate there be leading probably to a loss in a very conservative district? >> i love that he tried to turn it around. i thought that was actually kind of brilliant. my friend at think progress was at the debate and told me at one point sanford brought up the affair again and said it ma

>> it is the bench mark that most of us use on the u.s. side and have done the same index for the all country world index which includes emerging markets. >> right. >> what you are seeing here is just for the u.s. and applies for the foreign and the analysis for that as well. >> okay >> what is says here is if you look on the first line it says that if you put hump ty dump ty back together again, you will track it (inaudible) per year and it is a measure called tracking error and what is neat is that you can convert it to a standard deviation risk measure tha, is the measure that all money managers do to evaluate that. if you do that, it converts to one, 100th of risk. and you look at the right side of the chart here and the typical active manager in the united states incurs 5 percent of the risk relative to the bench mark to try to beat the market. that risk, adds 69 100th of one percent additional risk to the portfolio and so we have a industry, one of the most highly compensated grossly over, compensated, is tracking (inaudible) of its

today, does mark the three-month anniversary of the tragedy at sandy hook elementary. but today also marks the beginning of an important new chapter in the fight against gun violence. but we certainly would like to see action in our government, to address gun violence, we can't just leave it to the politicians. legislation will offer some help of solutions but washington can't solve it all. we the people we have an obligation to look in wards to reflect on what we can do, what we want, what we need. how we want to be treated. and how we want to treat other people. for most of the individuals expands to our families, our community and our nation. and we as a nation have a proud tradition of innovation, and as part of this journey, we have joined with leaders and thinkers of the tech community to ask a new question. how can we harness the innovation, ideas and technology to address the causes of gun violence so we can make our families and communities safer? >> here we are at the uhb of technology and innovation to leverage the great linkers and collective minds that hav

ok mark just before the break you want to jump in please do. i would disagree with john in terms of the u.s. not caring in terms of humanitarian intervention i think there's a long record of humanitarian intervention by the united states in fact the u.s. often receives a great deal of criticism for that but more to the point if we are looking at what could be done in syria i would also look to bosnia and kosovo as examples of not only what the united states can do but more importantly what the broader euro atlantic community can do after almost fifteen years we're seeing great moves towards a settlement for the kosovo situation and announcement last week by lady ashton about serbia kosovo agreement we've seen bosnia and its neighbors go from a state of war to where the nation has been able to rebuild and the people have been able to move on so there are some examples there's no doubt syria is much more complex but i don't think that means that the international community should not try mark if i can say with you if assad left today what would c

dressed in my opinion yeah well mark. the thing that i don't seem to understand i guess is that here you have as you point out outright criminality which is condoned and almost encouraged by eric holder the attorney general his office and everyone who works in justice and yet when something bad happens like there's. bombs go off in a city where there's some kind of attack or some act of criminality they expect us to care i don't see worse the double standard here that the attorney general has given a green light to financial terrorism so why should we care about anything that happens in a system like that in our usaf why would our the people of america if the justice department doesn't care if people get blown up and were told to fight farmers here who were on hedged in their positions got destroyed because of course on outright criminality because of jamie diamond outright criminality because eric holder outright complicity in some other terrorist act why should we care because the justice department saying go for it her

i would first like to introduce supervisor mark ferrel and to say that mark has been instrumental in every way towards bringing us to this point

i don't know, what did you make of that answer from mark sanford? >> i mean, mark sanford is basically saying we ought to allow states to violate people's civil rights, do it state by state. that is something that mark and his ilk want to go back to, that would be prior to 1865, state by state they decided civil rights. sanford is afraid, he couches everything in that principle when in fact he's afraid to speak his mind. he's against gay marriage, he's said that on many occasions. he's against equal civil rights for gay couples. he's just afraid to say that. in charleston, there's tremendous huge gay community, many of whom vote republican. let's not forget, this district voted, gave 20 points, 20 point victory to romney over obama. it will be a tough race for elizabeth, but i think she's going to pull it off. >> after that, mark sanford was asked about the vote and doma, whether he would take that vote again. he channeled the spirit of bill clinton, said do you think president clinton should be condemned based on a mistake he made. he keeps going b

well mark. the thing that i don't seem to understand i guess is that here you have as you point out right criminality which is condoned and almost encouraged by eric holder the attorney general of his office and everyone who works in justice and yet when something bad happens there's. bombs go off in a city where there is some kind of attack or some act of criminality they expect us to care i don't see worse the double standard here that the attorney general has given a green light to financial terrorism so why should we care about anything that happens in a system like that and are you safe while other people in america if the justice department doesn't care if people get blown up and we're talking about five farmers here who were on hedged and their positions got destroyed because of course on outright criminality because of jamie diamond outright criminality because eric holder outright complicity if there isn't some other terrorist act why should we care because the justice department saying

you make a great point mark. it is your thinking now that these two men said it is time to flee to another location. that is possibly when they tipped off folks this the 7-11 that they have been spotted. >> absolutely. the dc homicide detective and i were on the hannity show and we were talking about the specific thing. either they are holed up in boston or they are long gone. we felt once this fbi photo came out and got about a 24-hour window and if nothing happens they are in the inned with. they are in the wind. we are hoping for exactly what is happening right now jie. gregory come out to the camera right here. this is the boston globe's web page. they have been updating it and we have been watching this as a source of information to verify what we have and what they haveett set raw. have et-cetera. marathon suspect arrested. one suspect dead white hat suspect still at large. that is according to police. they followed that up with a headline down here on the left hand side. that's what the boston globe is rep

you will hear what happened. >>> and mark so myois up in seven -- and mark tamayo is up in seven minutes. he says more rain may be heading our way. >>> and michael jackson's death is the subject of a court case that started this morning. we'll tell you who his family is suing and why. >>> flowers were placed outside oakland's oikos university to mark one year since the deadly shooting there. former nursing student one goh allegedly confessed to killing seven people and wounding three others an april 2nd, 201. he surrendered to police and is currently receiving psychiatric care at napa state hospital after a judge found him mentally incompetent to stand trial. a member concert to remember the lives lost is set for saturday. >>> the national rifle association unveiled its proposals to step up school safety. an nra task force has come up with a so-called national school shield program. it says it is aimed at reducing the number of school crimes. the proposal includes increasing the number of trained, armed, on-campus security officers. the gun lobby says at least one should be placed on eve

we bring in former lapd detective mark fuhrman. mark, your initial impression with all of this? >> well, i was hoping for the best, which would be they had a good suspect lead, a possible surveillance going of possible suspects, and that's why we were waiting 48 hours for another press conference, but unfortunately at the press conference, for me, it's one of the worst fears, but it's a good lead. they've exhausted cellphone, they've exhausted any kind of imaging of the bio metric structure of the face. i didn't see a reward. to me that kind of indicates that they believe that this is an international connection that really doesn't -- or isn't affected by a cash reward for family associates or cosuspects. >> sean: yeah. mark, going back on all your police experience, and i've watched this over and over again, and they seem to be relaxed. they seem to be very casual. they seem to be very focused, if you will, on what they want to do. they didn't stand out. if i saw them walking by me, i don't think i would have noticed them. would you? >> well, you know, it's interesting you say

to cross-talk syria i'm joined by my guests in washington mark jacobson he's a senior transatlantic fellow at the german marshall fund of the united states and we also have john glaser he is an editor at antiwar dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it ok john i'd like to start with you you wrote in your blog why obama's chemical weapons redline in syria is bogus explain yourself. well the first thing is that he shifted his red line before used to be that if assad moved around chemical weapons that would be crossing a red line and obama would pursue some unspecified counteraction the second reason is that you know the there are no good military options in syria and the obama administration has said this a number of times. i know a no fly zone would put more civilians at risk and you know safe zones don't work. moving in to secure the chemical weapons would need at least you know seventy five thousand troops on all of these options would end up in broiling the u.s. in a quagmire and regime change and natio

mark sanford abandoned his office. got $74,000 in ethics finding. there was a real dereliction of duty, but that's not why it was a huge story. >> right. and i don't think, i think what people associated with story with was his personal behavior and therefore, they gave him, there may be some latitude there. i think there are other instances in which you're, you know, the dereliction of duty is the focus of the scandal. that is harder to get over. that's an offense to the public. and yet, i should note the primary voters have seemingly forgiven him for that as the ap has just called, that mark sanford has indeed one his race there, so mark sanford will be facing a general election against elizabeth colbert bush, where polling has them around even. the part you're saying is that is the real dereliction. there doesn't seem to be much distinction made about about the interest in the thrill of leading someone's private e-mail changes. >> actually why again, as much as i think he has in politics, it's kind of a good thing he's able to transcend what was
