create a state bank and then take all the banks all the state's business all the state's borrowing and bonds everything else and run it through its own banks so any profit from that goes into the states coffers to be used for other things to be used for the state's business that would solve california's fiscal problem do i recall that article that you wrote some months ago about that correctly yeah. you could solve it i mean you're going to run into the two thirds or other constitutional issues etc but let's say that ideally you are in a position to fix and set up a system that actually works you could solve it that way because you could generate california could has on the exact same model as the big tonight and north dakota it could have one hundred fifty billion dollars in credit power it could make that much in months that's how much the bacon i try to has they have four thousand dollars per capita in your profits and they have about the same in the in loans so california has thirty seven million people times four thousand comes out to one hundred forty eight billion so they could

' rights, states' autonomy, state power, call it whatever you will, then it might help if state legislatures were once again given the power to elect senators. now, i don't share that vision, but i think it's a valuable conversation to have. and what i -- as i say, what i commend in them or the balanced budget amendment which i also strongly oppose, but it does serve as a way of initiating conversation about what are the implications of adopting certain structures of government or limits on government? if it needs to be said, i like the bill of rights, i like the 14th amendment. it's not, as i say, that i want to tear up the constitution and everything in it. but i have come to believe that the most important parts of the constitution are the ones we generally don't talk about which are the structural provisions because especially since world war ii we have focused almost exclusively on the rights provisions like the bill of rights or the 14th amendment. and i think that's a very, very big mistake. if we had more time, i would be happy to be very, very critical of the way that constitutional

effort in the state of california? >> this is a great time to work on the issue of the death penalty. every day we get closer and closer to ending the death penalty in california and across the country and indeed, across the world. several states have into the death penalty in the last four years. most recently, the state of illinois into the death penalty in march of this year. [applause] we are now at the time when 16 states, puerto rico and the district of columbia do not have the death penalty. many more states are addressing this issue, connecticut and montana, colorado, kansas, these are all states that have had bills in their legislature to into the death penalty that have moved through least one house in some cases, both houses. connecticut passed a bill a couple of years ago to end the death penalty that was vetoed by the then republican governor who is no longer in office. this is for states in four years and we expect more on the way. >> this deserves applause. >> we're making progress in california. the sta

state department. the glove appear to be running the foreign policy of the united states of america. now, i in this for two reasons, and in this because i think a terrible injustice is being done to people who we promised to keep safe and i believe the united states is a great nation and that we have to keep our word. but i did this for a bigger reason than that. the real reason i'm in this does not have much to do or as much to do with the mek. it has to do with the united states of america. this country was founded on the notion that we are raising the bar on the expectations of what human beings were all about 235 years ago. if you look at the i'm not a big fan of this american exceptional was some stuff i don't think americans are better than or asians or south americans or africans or anybody else, but i do think we are an exceptional nation because of the content of our founding documents, the declaration of independence and the constitution because those documents set forth something that had ne

well you know actually the state didn't collapse in many ways the state actually fragmented so they're little pieces of the state and in fact and in some places the you know members of the politburo are actually still in power such as in kazakhstan so i think. you know exaggerated. plus you know i think they were all various ways in which the institutions that were there under communism played a major role in the whole transition process that didn't totally disappear in fact ironically the communists were in the forefront of the movements that undid the soviet union so if you look at the leadership of the estonian popular front if you look at the at the leadership of the alternative movements communists actually were very prominently represented within them well that's interesting well if i go back to you but you know if we look at the i've always limited to the communist party of russia the russian federation is that it never took the the it failed to take the path of european socialism i mean they still talk about lenin here they talk about marx they'd be the stuff that the vast majo

state. >> okay. >> except you can't use the out-of-state permit in your home state. you can use them in all the other states but not your home state. you can't get an in-state permit by going out of state, bit if you go out of state, you can use that permit anywhere else and some were -- we had testimony -- it's not clear if you have to be physically present to get a permit. you may be able to buy these things over the internet, and the way this is going, goetz to be a revenue enhancement, you charge enough money and peep over the internet get a concealed weapons permit they're not entitled to get in their state. >> having been through the licensing process i trust those straights to do a quality job as they're can do today, and i say to the chairman, this bill has been knocking around these chambers for a long time. it's always been wildly cosponsored and supported and does not make it to the floor. i agree with the speaker boehner, the house works best when the house works its will, and you have a bill with wide bipartisan support and you've brought it to the floor

. >> first, the united states, as i said in my opening marks -- my opening remarks, the united states has provided us great support to get rid of nuclear weaponry. the famous program, which was called cooperative threat foredecks -- cooperative threat reduction program look -- worked well here in kazakhstan. frankly speaking, i could tell that this program was a real success in kazakhstan. the old missiles were dismantled, the warheads were removed, and the fuel, the nuclear fuel has been transferred to peaceful purposes. that is a great achievement of many years of cooperation between that united states and kazakhstan. >> people might not know that when the soviet union controlled the area, it was in kazakhstan that they tested all their nuclear weaponry and this was their headquarters. what the president did, even before independence, was to say this must go. >> absolutely. it was a decision made by the president at the beginning of independence. he decided to close the testing site in afghanistan and i tell you this size is quite impressive. it is about 300,000 square kilometers ro

romney -- what state was that?was all 12 states. >> and best against the -- romney does best against the president. romney lead cain 48 to cain's 45. one note, the poll was conducted before the cain news broke. but we're getting a good look at the president. the president's ahead of rick perry, 49 to 44. that doesn't surprise me, given the difficult problems he's been having. but me we talked about industrial states, basically. you talking about the rocky mountain states, where they definitely hope to get the newer voters, the hispanic voters, the high-tech voters, the sometimes better educated voters out there. let's get back to the rust belt, from scranton to oshkosh, the classic tim russert world he grew up in. the world of buffalo. that whole place right across there, right? those people are white people, ethnic people, used to voting democrat, but also quite willing to vote for a reagan, somebody they like. will they vote for a romney? >> and -- we don't know. because people -- i think when a president's runni

because 48 states -- this is automatic in 48 states.kentucky and one other state are the only state where it's not. >> three states, i think. >> mr. galbraith, would you be in favor of a constitutional amendment? >> i think so. if they've paid their dues. exempting the violence, exempting the child molesters, exemptinged murderers. there's been so many of our young people who have been cast at the bottom of the economic and career net because they got involved in drugs on a personal possession level, not trafficking, not bringing anybody else but themselves get caught up in the addiction. they go through the criminal process. they have a felony on their record. and it's going to keep them from being productive citizens for that cast of people i would say yes, we need to take care of their records. >> senator, i am not for automatic restoration of voting rights for convicted felons. i voted for the piece of legislation that set up a process to do this. and that process was abused by the governor and his staff to say that they sent a lett

it's a state issue.bviously, much different outcome. i think the bigger issue nationally out of ohio is obviously issue three, which really puts obama on the ballot. his keystone peace legislation obama care goes down in a major way. i think that's what an's personalized nationally. what you can glean from ohio if you want to take anything out of that state tonight. >> congressman ryan, is this a state issue or is there a bigger picture in play here? >> that's what i'd be saying if i just got my rear end kicked too. 50% of the people voting on issue 3 didn't really know what it was. this was all about issue 2. this was all about collective bargaining. this was all about trying to destroy the unions. the most informed voter was v e voting on this issue and they lost. that's the bottom line here. >> listen to the rnc chair there trying to make it a par rackial issue. it's a state issue. is he signaling that the republicans in washington aren't going to be paying attention to this at all and it's going to b
