let's bring in katrina vanden heuvel, katrina, it's 2012, just a reminder. >> hard to believe. >> it is. 77% of americans believe that birth control should not even be in the public discussion. and allegedly this is tying right in some of the legislation that alec has written and some of the other states, what do you make of it? >> this is not about religious freedom, this is about women's right to control their access to health care, to control their own lives, control their own employment future. you heard mitt romney talking about getting rid of planned parenthood. planned parenthood is a vital health care provider in this country. three million women get family planning, other health services. we're witnessing an attempt to roll back women's reproductive rights and what is interesting about arizona, ed, this right wing group alec, is the tea party states, victories like arizona, you've seen an attempt to roll back workers rights and women's reproductive rights and now in this bill, they've seemed to fuse the two together and the irony and hypocracy, they are claiming they want li

i saw this firsthand, i went down to help out with katrina thing in september. it's weird. because you are dealing with people that lost everything and it's kind of hard to imagine that if you haven't done it yourself. basically, you know, she's looking at her curtains here, she probably hand-stitched those things. maybe they have been hanging there the last 5 or 6 years. everything in the house is wrecked, photos, keepsakes, it's a tough thing. and people deal with this kind of stress in different ways. we as disaster workers, we see it all the time. but we have a word we use, professional. we try to be professional around people that have suffered a loss like this because they don't want us to come -- you don't want to go into somebody's house and be joking and having a good time. it's unprofessional. when you are dealing with somebody who has a loss like this, just think of the word professional. that's what we try to do. this sort of body language here, she's trying to comfort here, do you think she's buying it? not with that body language. she's not really buying it. s

katrina, for example, the most effective responders in katrina were the victims. there are people in that own community that cared about their community who did more and were more effective organizing a response than anybody else. it's people in the local walmart who opened the doors and said we'll help our citizens. that is anything much more effective than anything fema did. if you look at the surveys of katrina, 80% of the people helped said the most effective responders were people that were nongovernment organizations. i'm not saying there is not a role for fema, not a role for homeland security, but when you take responsibility for yourself, you bring a certain energy and commitment and knowledge to that that somebody else can't. in this case, the pilot that flies that plane and that airline, they care about that airline. they care about that pilot. they are going to give it a degree of commitment that nobody else really can because they have a sense of ownership. exercising that is a very important part of free and open society. when you're owning infrastru

this confirms that much of the lost capacity we witnessed following hurricane katrina has been rebuilt. i commend you for these efforts. at the same time, fema was spread thinly, responding to a record number of spring disasters, and your agency was and is facing significant financial challenges. your chief financial officer should be complicaemented to closing out disasters and better track expenditures to keep the disaster relief fund in the black throughout the end of fiscal 2011. as we both know, this was touch and go. right up until the end. hopefully with the new disaster funding mechanism congress passed as part of the budget control act we will now have more long-term stability to fund critical disaster relief needs. principally, we're here today to discuss your 2013 budget. the request for fema is $10.2 billion of which sides 6.1 billion is for the disaster relief fund. that request is 5% less than 2012, largely reflecting a $1 billion reduction in the disaster relief fund based on your reduced estimate of catastrophic and non-catastrophic needs for 2013. within your budget re

katrina, it was reported as $5.5 billion. 3/11, it was $44 billion. and on top of that, there were equipments, housings, so all together it adds up to $212 billion. you can see how huge this disaster was. as for effect on gdp, 2012 estimate was $1.6 growth before 3/11. after 3/11, the estimate is 0.9. it's not only because of earthquake and tsunami but because of yen appreciation as well. yen rate is has appreciated more than 30% after wall street crash in 2008 where renminbi is less than 10% and euro depreciated 10% against dollar. how can you compete in such a situation? supply-chain issue, number four. i am always trying to focus on this, because i think supply chain is vastly exaggerated. if you look at -- this is an frv figure. 2007, u.s. auto production as 100. then 2008 wall street crash. because of lack of consumption, it went down to 36 and that level for some time. compare to that after earthquake/tsunami, if p there was a lack of supply of parts from japan, but it went down to 85, stayed for a little -- very short period, then it recovered

this confirms that the loss we followed after katrina has been rebuilt and i commend you for these efforts. at the same time, fema was spread thinly responding to a record number of spring disasters and your agency is and was facing significant financial challenges. your chief financial officer should be complimented for keeping you out of the black for the end of fiscal 2011. as we both know, this was touch-and-go, right up until the end. hopefully with the new mechanism congress passed as part of the budget control act we'll have more long-term stability to fund critical disaster relief needs. principally we're here to discuss your 2013 budget. the request for fema is $10.2 billion and 6.2 is for the disaster relief fund, 5% less than 2012, reflecting a $1 billion reduction. i'm pleased to note significant increases for grantses albeit in the last two years. the funding is tide to a significant reorganization of the state and local grant program. your new national preparedness gant proposal has raced many questions as to how it work, how you will award funds to maintain core capabilities

a katrina who has just come back from home so she witnessed a scene of chaos and carnage in the water on city. on thursday i spent nine days in homes with the syrian red crescent and saw with my own eyes the killing the bloodshed and the bodies on the streets many of the people in homes have not sided with the government all rebels they just want to be left alone and survive but the humanitarian situation is dire with no water no power and little food the conflict in homs itself is divided into with regime supporters on one side and you slam mr opposition on the other i saw many lebanese mercenaries i spoke with members of the syrian army who told me about tunnels that it's been dark between homes and lebanon which are used by mercenaries who are paid a lot of money to fight the army but from what i saw the blame for the violence lies equally with the government and opposition rebels who also fire missiles indiscriminately at government forces. which are the european union has recognized the syrian national council as the legitimate representative of the people and with foreign powers

and even you just mentioned haney katrina and the entire situation was exacerbated by the fact that sea levels are higher than they were 100 years ago and how are you going to sit there and say that this is not taking place, that global warming is not taking place? guest: well, first of all, let's take it one at a time. i've already answered the question in terms of the polar and the arctic and the an arctic. and so we have -- that's a factual response. but on polar bears, i just wonder if the man from bakersfield is aware that we had the total population in the 1960's was between 5,000 and 10,000. today, it's between 15,000 and 25,000. and furthermore, the canadian buy gist -- biologist said "of the 13 populations of polar bears in canada, 11 are stable or increasing in number. they are not going extinct or even appearing to be affected at present. it's just silly to predict a demise of particular bears in 25 years based on media-assisted hysteria." host: and a viewer who agrees with you says can the senator talk about the warming throughout the solar system? it's the sun cycle, not us

and we did the same during return katrina. the challenges is what if we have multiple threats. what if we have a hurricane and a threat to national security. we are at risk because we don't have the resources. >> thank you, gentlemen. since my last hearing which was with the appropriations sub committee, i was -- i was not a member and not a member of that sub committee but allowed to ask questions as we have extended to other others. >> we recommend that system. >> the funny have to put this in. tsa found out that i would be a witness. they sent mr. pisto an e-mail so when he asks a question, take a long time answering it so you eat up his is that they, again, sometimes you think it is the gang that can't shoot straight. reserving my time if you would answer briefly. one of my concerns, of course, is the transportation worker identification card. we spent over half a billion dollars. is that correct? yes or no? >> approximately $374 million. >> i have a higher number. >> you may be including grants. >> i would consider that as expenditure money spent. we will say in the neighb

i served as a hurricane katrina a volunteer. returning to fresno, the career development institute gave me my first nonprofit opportunity. assisting the previously incarcerated population with a reentry back into our communities. while working full-time, i pursued obtaining my master's degree in business administration in order to better serve and understand the needs of the employers. in 2009, i received a phone call from one of my mentors. he spoke about a city full diversity and a city with communities in need. i had a decision to make. leaving behind my position as a workshop facilitator in a city -- are relocated to northern california. i currently hold the position as director of operations in the southeast sector of san francisco. i currently of receipt seven programs and a staff of 30. it is hard to serve dislocated workers and at risk use, but we have been able to participate 51% of our participants. it has helped me make this possible. as you can see, i've worked in a variety of roles and positions in the non-profit an

my colleagues, in the aftermath of hurricane katrina, we saw firsthand how much of a demand there is for trained professionals at disaster sites and how there is need to provide a liability protection for these very experienced individuals. according to the council of state governments, the most pressing need immediately after katrina was the availability of medical volunteers. however, out-of-state practitioners faced the real possibility of noncoverage under their medical malpractice policies. those who volunteer and treat the sick are at risk of violating existing statutes and potentially facing criminal or administrative penalties or civil liabilities. baton rouge newspaper, the "the advocate," ran a story in september of 2005 that talked about a dr. mark pulmutter who was in the midst of giving a woman's chest compressions when fema asked him to stop because of issues of liability protection. cnn ran a story about a doctor who was evacuated to the new orleans airport. the doctor was amazed to see hundreds of sick people and wanted to help them. he wanted to apply his professiona
