tv Key Capitol Hill Hearings CSPAN June 24, 2015 6:00am-8:01am EDT
6:00 am
that is being forbidden to us almost anywhere that we can get on the grid. the second point is to be responsive on why the case is significant. it's actually less significant than i thought it would be. the judge explains why it is the second second amendment extends outside of the home and some of the other circuits decided the case on the summary that it doesn't or that we are sort of on that question. so the constitutional right to carry does extend outside of the home. if you think about the cases out there sure there's a second and third and fourth circuit case and there's the second and i will grant you it is a somewhat different california isn't just like new york or new jersey.
6:01 am
unlike the statewide case california with all due respect doesn't care that much they believe it is a commodity to the 56th secretary did debate could -- sacramento county so it's not enough to have the intermediate scrutiny. spirit think you your honor. i would like to make three or four points in a limited time. the council of the other side he alluded to the arguments of those in the historical basis for this type of law. the average brief rate is a fantastic job of marshaling evidence for the proposition that the right to guns. but it dates back earlier than
6:02 am
as the court found the early part of the 20th century when new york and new jersey enacted those regulations. so those were the days of the second amendment didn't apply to the state and so it cannot be that we looked to the legislative behavior of the legislatures of the time as evidence to help people understood the second amendment rights and if the voters or jurors consulted the guidance on the second amendment, they would be told that they are not completely exempt from having to be concerned about it. so they responded to the citation and then we noted two things. they held with the plaintiffs made because the court found the
6:03 am
plaintiff had the ability to obtain a license to carry the handgun openly in the so-called open carry in massachusetts and obviously that isn't on the cards today but we also noted a couple of other decisions which perhaps merits some discussion. we have people versus 30181 verse 927 where the michigan supreme court held the exercise of the rights guaranteed by the constitution cannot be made subject to the will of the sheriff and therefore they took up the right to have a handgun. more recently in the indiana court of appeals under the second we had the police chief for self-defense as a reason for granting or denying the permit to carry a concealed handgun to restrain them from behaving in that in such the approach
6:04 am
6:05 am
>> >> the affidavit did not show that this policy was necessary to put to a feature of carrying handguns a basically said the death theory was is dangerous we want to reduce the danger even if they are correct for the sake of argument it is very dangerous to carry handguns we will still prevail right or wrong that judgment has made in the constitution with the second amendment and that has to be respected. >> thank you for your

wednesday mornings here on c-span2. we invite your participation via twitter using hashtag pmqs. prior to question time members are finishing up other business. now live to the floor of the british house of commons. >> continue to hurt should not be any program on this issue. >> he's actually write taking an irresponsible approach to the public finances mean the people who will suffer are the most vulnerable and that's why difficult decisions are needed to ensure they can pass a sustainable budget and get the agreement back on track. >> order. questions to the prime minister. >> number one, mr. speaker. >> mr. speaker i'm sure the whole house will wish to join in celebrating armed forces week. >> here, here. >> our armed forces are the best in the world and this week is an important opportunity to pause and reflect on their dedication and their sacrifice in keeping the country safe. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial
7:01 am
colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> i, too welcome the prime minister's comments about armed forces we can -- weekend. i thank the right my right honorable friend for granted me with the of the honorable lady following the announcement yesterday of significant job losses by young seafood and dairy. they are the largest employer. it particularly this one after a run of good news much investment has been effective with the help of the ritual growth fund. could my right honorable friend assured me that perhaps additional help and support may be given to the area, and it's important to retain youth presence in the air. >> first of all unhappy to meet with my honorable friend. the recent reports of mounting
7:02 am
youngs are concerned and i know this'll be a difficult time for employers and their families. the company will be talking to employers and the government stands ready to assist in any way that it can. is right the broader pictures more positive. we have the energy for great after 4000 jobs and also of course the siemens investment nearby, a major investment for the region. we will continue to provide support for the regional growth fund, 49 awards have been made in yorkshire. to keep up with it and keep up with a long-term economic plan. >> harriet harman. >> i joined the prime minister in paying tribute to our armed services including the reserves. we all know those who are serving today. we remember the sacrifice of those who served in the past and let's never forget them when we think of the freed up and democracy that we have today. i would also like to attribute to the families -- the family federation the army navy and the air force family federation. the great work they do
7:03 am
supporting service families contribute so much to the strength of our services. mr. speaker, we've all seen the chaotic scenes were british travelers and drivers are facing intimidation as 3000 migrants trying to get illegally into the uk. the french should be assessing to miss him so they get their decide whether their genuine refugees are whether their migrant workers who should be removed. how confident is the prime minister the french are going to start taking effective action? what is he doing to put pressure on them and will be racing it to the eu council this week in? >> first of all connecting approaches is about forces family. she's right ended saturday when many of us will be attending armed forces day celebrations and commemorations tomorrow to talk to the sims and thank them for what they do when they're missing their loved ones. she asks about tally, totally totally unacceptable seems we've all been witnessing for the last day. of course, there was a key role played in this by the strike
7:04 am
that took place in france. as the soap about what should be done. let me answer very clearly. of course, we want to see migrants better document and fingerprint but, frankly, a lot of that is to happen in italy where they land rather than in france. the three things we must act on his first of all better security, working with the french. we've invested 12 million pounds. i'm happy to do more if that is necessary. we've got to work with european partners to stop this problem at source, to break the link between getting the vote and getting settled in your. and thirdly, we've got to do more to make sure that britain is a list easy place for illegal migrants to come to an work in and that's what our immigration bill is all about. >> is right that this problem is the responsibility of the italian authorities and the french authorities, but as he acknowledged it's also an issue about the security of our border
7:05 am
at calais. could he say more about what steps he's taken to strengthen security at the uk border in transporting? >> the honorable lady as right. the juxtaposed order controls on the front side are a good thing for our country and we should be prepared to invest in them. that's what the 12 million pounds has been about. i've talked with the home secretary and we are looking at whether we can put more personnel and, indeed, sniffer dog teams on that side of the channel to make a difference. there's also more work being done in terms of installing fencing not just around the port at calais but also around the euro store and euro tunnel entrance to all these things can make a difference and we should work with the french very closely. there's no point i decide time to point the finger of blame at each other. this is a strong partnership that we have in place and we should keep it that way. >> i think the prime minister for that answer and effort on all sides will need to be stepped up. turn into another issue.
7:06 am
the prime minister said in his speech on monday is nothing progressive about robbing from our children. but isn't it inevitable that the cut in tax credits for working families and less employers a way to the races in italy means children will be worse off the? >> first of all what i said my speech about robbing from our children was the importance of getting our deficit down and not asking them to pay debt that we were not prepared to do with ourselves. what we need to do is make sure we go on with the plan that has seen 2.2 million more people were. crucial to children to 390,000 fewer children in households where no one works. my program for tackling poverty is to get more people in work get them better paid and cancer taxes. [shouting] >> well, i'm asking about robbing from children who are in families who are facing tax
7:07 am
credit cuts. the isf have said that cutting 5 billion pounds in tax credits would mean working families losing on average 1400 pounds a year. now i know he doesn't have to budget, but many families do. [shouting] it's the truth. [shouting] think about -- if honorable members which is for a moment think about a lone parent working part time to compensate her for that loss of 1400 pounds a year the minimum wage would have to go up overnight by 25%. that's not going to happen is it? >> the problem with what the honorable lady says is the last government didn't budget for the country. [shouting] she asks --
7:08 am
[shouting] when -- >> order order. i'm getting worried about health of the honorable member. she must calm herself. we are in the early stage of the proceedings. a period of calm must descend upon the house. prime minister. >> because the last government didn't budget for the country, as a result the whole country was plunged into poverty which is what we have been dealing with. now let me explain what we're going to be. for those who are out of work we want to give him a job at a well-paid job. that's the best route out of poverty. for those in work we want to see higher rates of pay lower taxes. our program is simple. let's have an economy with higher pay lower taxes and lower welfare. what she seems to want is the current failure of low pay high taxes and high welfare. that's what we need to move on from. [shouting] >> harriet harman.
7:09 am
>> trying to do to get higher pay by cutting tax credits. he seems to be saying that low income families will not lose out because somehow on the day that he cut tax credits every employer in the country will rush to immediately put up a. to compensate for the loss of tax credits that would mean employers putting up a overnight by twice was the over your has said they're going to do over a full year. that's not going to happen is it a? >> we are seeing rates up in our economy go up because we've got a strong and successful economy because of the decision that we took. what the honorable lady doesn't seem to understand is if you don't get people back to work to reduce welfare you will have to make deep cuts in the nhs which when don't want to you how to put tax credits which we don't want to see. look, if the labour party wants to spend this five years arguing
7:10 am
any change in welfare system i say let them. you end up with the same results results. >> what he doesn't seem to understand is that these are people who are in work were going out to work are fighting for themselves and their children. the truth is the prime minister is going to cut tax credits. is not going to make up for that loss by putting up the minimum wage overnight. employers are not going to make up for that loss either. the millions of families with children are going to be worse off. he says he is tackling low pay. is not. is attacking the low paid so much that the party of working people. >> the party of working people is the party that's got 2 million more people in -- almost 400,000 children in households where people are working. that is why you can see a party that believes in work against a
7:11 am
party which according to what of leadership contenders is now the anti-worker partner that is what they honorable member said. i would say to the honorable lady, in the week when greece teeters on the brink come we should learn the lessons of what happened when debt spiral into his control of your economy. labour is stuck with the same answer, more borrowing, more welfare, more debt. it's the same old labour and it will lead to the same old failure. [shouting] >> mr. speaker, thank you. would be prime minister agree that one of the best ways of tackling the cycle of child poverty is, in fact, to ensure that we deal with assistance educational underachievement? children get the best start in life, particularly schools
7:12 am
universities and just as importantly in vocational education. >> my honorable friend is right if we really want to tackle the deep and entrenched poverty we have in our country we need to go after the causes of poverty. the causes are high unemployment unemployment, debt addiction and family breakdown. those are the things that can make a difference. i was at the school this week on the outskirts with 65% free school meals and yet that schools able to achieve almost two-thirds -- that's a better record frankly the many schools in well off constituencies. so it can be done so let's go after the causes of poverty and then we could really lift people out of that entrenched poverty. >> angus robertson.
7:13 am
>> -- attending events across the uk. mr. speaker the prime minister and other uk party leaders made a promise. they made about that more powers will be delivered to the scottish parliament. the people were promised home rule. they were promised and i quote as close to federalism as possible. why does the prime minister's scotland bill not even deliver the limited smith commissioner proposal? >> first of all the bill that we put in front of his house does deliver the smith commission. it will fill the bow that -- but, of course, what it doesn't fulfill his of all fiscal autonomy that his party would like that would like scottish taxpayers with a bill of thousands and thousands of pounds. if that this policy can when he gets up he should say so. >> thank you very much mr. speaker. the house of commons library
7:14 am
says that important part of the smith commission proposals are not in the scotland bill that the prime minister proposed. the shortcomings in the bill had been identified by an all party committee in the scottish parliament on which the scottish conservative party state. are all of these people wrong? will the prime minister now commit to deliver the smith commission proposals in full and all of the powers that were voted for by the people of scotland in the general election? >> we address precisely the point made by the committee in the scottish parliament that he refers to. mr. speaker, this go to a larger truth, which is the scottish national party only want to talk about process. they don't dare talk about which powers that be are being given they would like to do you do if you don't like the way things are fixed, why don't you put up taxes and spend more money?
7:15 am
isn't it time you started talking about the policies you want to put in place the outcomes? because the truth is that this comp full fiscal autonomy has now become a tough test full fiscal shambles. [shouting] >> would be prime minister investigate why some labour control councils including leads -- schools wishing to become academy's? >> i'm delighted would kirk academy have applied to set up a multi-academy trust the it often really works if you have secondary schools worked with primary schools to improve the results in those primary schools. i am convinced when you look at the figures, the academies are performed better than the local authority made schools. that's why the change is a necessary. i would say to the labour party
7:16 am
don't stand in the way of this change, help bring these academies about. [inaudible] >> i can tell them and we are committed to elected by the great western main line. we are also contributing 125 million pounds to the cost of the wider valley line electrification. it's a vital this work goes it. we need to make sure network rail gets its costs under control and strong leadership in place and we will make sure those things happen. >> thank you, mr. speaker. full employment is down 61% in

7:18 am
as to broadband i think with 130,000 homes and businesses getting access in north yorkshire that there is more to be done. [inaudible] -- a drug prescribed for epilepsy. although gps are now more aware of the risk the national archives show the risks are well known i drug companies and government as far back as 1973. yet to mothers were kept in the dark. will the prime minister urge health secretaries to meet with me and a delegation of others who are affected by this issue to discuss -- >> for talk and i think the honorable lady for raising this case. i'm not a with a specific drug she mentioned that apple look at it closely as someone who had a son with very severe epilepsy. i will certainly fix the meeting between her and health the health secretaries so that make progress on this issue.

7:34 am
we create well-paid jobs, cut taxes and keep welfare done. the alternative which is a low pay, high tax, high welfare economy and that's a we had under labour added had not ended extreme poverty. >> thank you, mr. speaker. every week 15 babies die or are stillborn which is devastating for the families who suffer this lost. and have cases no cause of death is established. will my right honorable friend facilitate a meeting between second and states for health and charities so that we can try and reduce these figures if? >> for stalking a welcome my honorable friend to this place. she served in december and a notional server constituents and displaced with great dedication and ability. she proves that by raising such a difficult and heartbreaking case against the death of every child is a tragedy and no words

[applause] may the peace that surpasses all understanding fill the hearts and minds of the people of charleston, and may justice be served in memory of our brothers and sisters in christ so senselessly killed. as ann shared with you my journey on this globe started in 1950 in a rather different place at a very different time homeless a place called paint
7:42 am
creek. you headed in one direction for about an hour and urine abilene texas. you head in the other direction and soon they were approaching the end of the earth. [laughter] -- you were in abilene, texas. i grew up on a cotton farm. four years we have an outhouse. bomb based us in a number two washed up on the back porch. we never felt poor. we were rich. we were rich in spirit. faith was at the fabric of our community. sacrifice was expected of every neighbor when families faced hardship. hard work was the code that we live by. i took those lessons with me when i left that area of why faith, my love of freedom, my duty to country. as ann shared with you i went on to texas a&m university at the united states air force.
7:43 am
but it wasn't until i flew those c-130 aircraft around the globe to places like south america europe, saudi arabia turkey that i learned just how special it is to call yourself an american. now, i know that america has experienced great change but what it means to be an american has never changed. [applause] we are the only nation in the world founded on the power of an idea that is all of us can all of us are created equal that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights. among those, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. our rights come from god, not
7:44 am
from government. [applause] and in america that people are not the subjects of government but government must always be the subject to the people. [applause] you know it's always been the case that has been a social contract between one generation of americans and the next to pass along an inheritance of a stronger country that is full of promise and possibility. that's a social compact has been protected at great sacrifice. it's never been more clear to me then went to my father to the american cemetery that overlooks the bluffs above omaha beach on that peaceful windswept setting. they're lying 9000 grades including 45 pairs of brothers
7:45 am
33 of whom are buried side-by-side. a father and a son two sons of a president. they alternated their future for hours in a final act of sacrifice. and that american cemetery it is no accident that those headstones face west west over the atlantic west toward the nation they defend it, the nation they loved the nation they would never return home to. and it struck me. stand in the midst of those euros, that they look upon us in silent judgment -- heroes -- and we need to ask ourselves, are we worthy of their sacrifice? the truth is that we are at the
7:46 am
end of an era of failed leadership. we have been led by a divider who are sliced and diced of the electorate, pitting american against american for political purposes or six years into this so-called recovery and our economy is barely grown. this winter as medevac actually got smaller. our economic slowdown is not inevitable. it is the direct result of bad economic policy. [applause] the president's tax and policies have slammed the door shut. it's shut the door of opportunity for the average american trying to climb the economic ladder. resigning and middle-class to stagnant wages, to personal debt, deferred dreams. and weakness at home has led to
7:47 am
weakness abroad. the world has descended into chaos. chaos of this president's own making, while his white house while they constructed this alternative universe where isis is contained, ramadi was just a setback, where the nature of the enemy can be acknowledged for fear of causing offense, where the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, the islamic republic of iran could be trusted to live up to a nuclear agreement. that's the world he lives in. and i might add no decision has done more harm than the presidents withdrawal of american troops from iraq. we had won the war, but this president failed to secure the peace. [applause] himbut my friends we are a
7:48 am
resilient country. you think about this. we have been through a civil war. we've been through two world wars. we made it to the great depression the we even made it through jimmy carter. we will make it to the obama years. [applause] the middle make of this country is that our people never stay knocked down. we get back a. we dust ourselves off and we move forward. and we will again. eight years ago americans were promised hope and change. but now one in five children in this country live in families on food steps. one in seven americans live in poverty. one in 10 workers are unemployed, underemployed, or just given up any hope of even finding a job.
7:49 am
these americans live on the outskirts of opportunity. they are the casually of the obama experiment and big government that creates a few jobs, little hope and a scarcity of opportunity. it's time to build an america where everyone is included everyone. where there are no forgotten americans, were everyone has a stake in our country, where everyone has hope. and i'm talking real hope for a better future. it's time to change the culture in washington that benefits only insiders, and instead bring this nation a revival, a revival of opportunity for everyone. i mean, let me share with you a story from scripture. we have a lord and savior who came to save the lost. one of those great stories in scripture was he told a despised
7:50 am
tax collector you come and follow me. he saved an adulterous woman from being stoned and then there's the woman at the well, book of job over in chapter four. jews at the time would usually walk around samaria. jesus didn't do that. pc company met a woman who was an outcast. she was an outcast even among american women -- american women. she went to draw water from the well in the hottest part of the day, and she did not because she had been shunned. she did not just so she wouldn't have to talk to anybody. and to her astonishment, when she got to jacob's well she encountered this a jewish man, jesus. and instead of ignoring or he
7:51 am
asked her for a drink of water. jesus knew of her history. he knew she had five previous husbands. he knew she was an outcast in her own land, but with one simple request that she provide him with a drink of water, he showed this fragile woman that she was a value to him and that she had something to offer. my friends every human being is of infinite wisdom -- of infinite value. every american has something to offer. now, unlike jesus none of us running for president can offer living water but we can offer leadership that includes the
7:52 am
hopes and dreams of every american. we can offer hope to the millions of americans living on the outskirts of opportunity. people left behind as government grows while opportunity shrinks. to those forgotten americans drowning in personal debt and working harder for wages that don't keep up with the rising cost of living. i come here today to say, your voice is heard. i know you phase rising health care costs rising childcare costs, skyrocketing tuition costs, mounting student loan debt. i hear you come and i'm going to do something about it. two families mired in poverty without hope of finding a good job, i hear you. you are not forgotten. i want to be your champion for small businesses on main street
7:53 am
who are struggling to get by smothered by regulation targeted by dodd-frank. i hear you your you are not forgotten. i am running to be your president, all of you, for the unborn, whose potential is god-given this conception is a demonstration of god's infinite grace. those lives matter and we will do everything we can to protect them. you know, a lot of candidates say, they say the right things about protecting lives, but no candidate has done more to protect unborn lives. i have passed a parental notification law. i passed a parental consent law. i signed a sonogram law some others facing an agonizing choice could witness that
7:54 am
beating heart within them. [applause] i signed a law outlawing abortion at 20 weeks. [applause] after eight years of a president whose rhetoric always exceeded his record, it's time we elect a president whose record speaks louder than his words. [applause] it's going to be to show me don't tell me the election. and on the issue of life no one has shown more unwavering conviction concerning life or done more to protect unborn children. you know that every child child is born into ideal circumstances, but in god's eyes. there is no such thing as an unwanted child.
7:55 am
[applause] so let us always stand for life liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and let us build an america whose promise is a greater in the days ahead than it has been in our past. thank you and god bless you and thank you for being with us here today.

>> i am not one of those who believes in the psychiatric examination of people. i believe that most of these people should be on the couch themselves rather than to psycho analyze people they've never met. on the other hand, when i meet people i don't judge them in terms of whether they have a firm handshake on whether the eye contact but what i try to do withwhat i meet people is to listen to what they say. you don't learn anything when you're talking. you learned a great deal when they are talking. >> one of the many tragedies of richard nixon he was not very self-aware. nixon, endless ironies the nixon did have a psychiatrist. he was an intern not technical psychiatrist and taylor said he was careful not to nixon think he was analyzing them so it wasn't -- but nixon went to because it's psychosomatic illnesses in the '50s. his head hurt and is knackered
7:57 am
and he couldn't sleep and he gave him some mild therapy but nixon -- even though he went to one he hated psychiatrist and was always denouncing them. he was afraid in a way of looking at himself in a realistic way. one of the reasons to use to write i don't carry grudges. i don't carry grudges. hello? richard nixon was one of the great bridge carries of all time. he could be very un-self-inflicted and is hurting because his lashing out at enemies of course is what destroyed him. >> evan thomas author of "being nixon: a man divided" talks about the victories and defeats and into turmoil of richard nixon focusing on the personal stories associate with our nation's 37th president sunday night at eight eastern and pacific on c-span's q&a. >> on tuesday hillary clinton visited christ the king united church of christ in missouri to participate in a community meeting. she talked about the emanuel ame

[laughter] [cheers and applause] just kidding. thank you for your patience, and it's either really hot in here or on having a hot flash either one could be the answer. we hope it will calm down just a little bit. we are still in a house of prayer. will you pause with me, please for a moment for prayer? gracious god we thank you for your presence and you people that are gathered in this place.
7:59 am
our prayers, open our eyes that we might see. open our ears that we might hear, open our hearts that we might receive and be changed. you are known by many names, but i pray in the name i know in the name of jesus, amen. howard thurman is one of my favorite theologians and in one of his most known books, jesus of the disinherited, he makes this comment. the masses of men live with their backs constantly against the wall. they are the poor, the disinherited, the dispossessed. what does our religion say to them? for me as a preacher that rings
8:00 am
very shockingly true to the core of what i believe my mission is. but for us as a people, the question is still relevant. what does our nation and what does our country say to those who live with their backs against the wall? last week in charleston north carolina we were reminded what hatred can do. and today we certainly continue to grieve with the lives that were lost there. we will be crying for a very long time. but we also must take this moment cannot just focus on the one who pulled the trigger that day, but on the policies, the people,
