[applause] >> thank you, mr. evans. thank you panelists.we have about 50 minutes for questions, but before i ask you to come down and speak into the mic, let me also welcome governor daniels to our conference today. [applause] >> the mic's already, and your questions are welcomed. right behind you if you don't mind. >> and go ahead. yes. i just wanted to ask a question and a microphone. thank you. >> okay. this is really in the nature of an observation. i was very much appreciative of professor kennan's comparison talk. i have to say that, as i was listening to the chambers material, i was rather struck by another possible comparison, extraneous to the conference, but i thought, rather gently, lance armstrong. and he we have another case of an extremely charming man, righteously continuing to profess his innocence in the face of a very large body of contrary evidence. now, that evidence comes mostly from his teammates who are men of integrity, not as charming as lance armstrong himself. in the case of alger hiss, we have whittaker chambers.

nigel evans is live on the line from london good evening to you mr evans bookies have called this reverend this referendum the biggest certainty in political betting history ever do you agree. i do agree i've visited the falkland islands three times since i've been a member of parliament and i've spoken with people who live on the island some of them have had families on there for generations i'm in no doubt whatsoever that the people of the fault and ireland's wish to remain british doesn't really matter as frozen arjun's argentina is concerned it doesn't does it. well it does matter to the islanders that the rest of the world knows exactly what they feel the argentinians have laid claim to the islands for a long time. but the argentinians must know themselves what the people who live on the islands feel and the arjun must also know that the rest of the world know exactly what the people who live on the islands feel and i believe that their view something changed since i was last there a few years ago i'm expecting an overwhelming victory in favor of the falkland islands residents remaini

committing this actual act upon the victim and that same state witness was also a prime susp t suspect, mr. evanestlake who when my attorney tried to speak to him two weeks after had obtained a lawyer and made it impossible for us to talk with him and, also, like i say, was a prime suspect who was at the crime scene and his dna was never taken. >> that is testimony that we heard in court. of course, he's not here to defend himself. so, we don't want to hand down any charges but i do want to focus on -- >> he doesn't have to be here to defend himself because it's all in black and white and public record. >> mr. richmond, can we ask about your son. how is ma'lik doing right now? >> my son is okay and he is going to be okay. i believe in god, the one and only, the true god, is going to see ma'lik through this. thank you and have a nice day. >> thank you, sir. >> obviously, incredibly difficult for mr. richmond and incredibly difficult for everyone in there. i have been sitting next to him for the last nofour and a half days throughout this trial. not easy for anyone. he said in court, i believe tha

mr. evansdid not live to see the arguments this week, his arguments, made before our nation's highest court. awhile back on the show, lori and jeff wilford of rosemont, minnesota, told us about the loss of their son in afghanistan. killed by an ied. at the time that he was killed the military still banned service by openly gay people in our country. corporal andrew wilford was gay. he had been out to his parents and his friends since he was a teenager but he went in the closet specifically because he wanted to sign up. he wanted to serve his country. and he was killed in action in afghanistan just a few months before the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." andrew wilford's dad jeff wrote me a letter this week saying he was watching the live feed of the scene outside the supreme court as the court was debating equal marriage rights for gay couples, and jeff wilford said, as i watched the live feeds from outside the supreme court on the marriage arguments, i would like you to know, this situation,

[applause] >> thank you, mr. evans. we have about 15 minutes for questions. i ask you to of come down and speak into the mike. let me also welcome governor daniel to our conference today. the microphones are ready in your questions are welcome. >> right behind you if you don't mind. thank you. go ahead. i just want you to ask a question. >> thank you. >> okay. this is in the mixture. i was very much appreciative of the professors comparison of talk. i have to say that i was listening to the material and was rather struck by another possible comparison of extraneous to this conference. i saw at. here we have another case of an extremely charming man righteously professing his innocence in the face of a very large body of contrary evidence. now, that evidence comes mostly from men of integrity, not as charming as lance armstrong himself in the case of the alger hiss we have -- we have later chambers. those of you have seen the pictures of these two men will have to be struck by the enormous differences in appearance just in the urbane well-dressed cut. .. >> i

mr. clemens was. it turns out that man he talked about was the father of evan evil. his father, jack, is a prominent oil and gas attorney in the denver area and was friends with hickenlooper, and a very unusual twist this would come back around to be the friend of the governor of all people. very unusual. >> thank you for the great reporting. >>> small airports across the country are taking a big hit starting next month. the faa just announced it's shutting down 149 air traffic control towers because of the forced spending cuts. the tower closings are opening up a lot of questions about whether the skies will be less safe, but is that really the case? here is cnn's tom foreman. >> all of the airplanes flying across the country will soon have fewer eyes watching them because of the the towers being closed. let's take a look at where they are, because it's not even although it's close to close. florida is losing 14. that's the most. texas losing 13. california, 11. the faa says it has to do it because it has a lot of people who are employed by it who are air traffic co

evan again and again, but to no avail. he had a bad, bad streak. >> have you spoken with mr. ebel? >> oh, yeah. i've talked to him the night when we found out that all the signs seemed to point to evan. i gave him a call. and he was -- he already knew. and he was just distraught. i mean, he was more upset than i've ever seen him. it's interesting to see that tom clements' wife, who is one of the most wonderful people, they were just a remarkable couple. and she of course spent a couple hours with her on wednesday deeply distraught. tom clements one of the greatest people i've ever worked with was kind of the elder statesmen of all our cabinet. but to have two people connected, two people i know so well and love so deeply to be connected by this, just, it's inexplicable. >> it is. i want to move on to the broader picture of the gun control measures that were in the works prior to obviously this week and the murders et cetera. let me ask you about that and ask you to put it in a national perspective. what we have learned about gun control now -- gun control measures now going through congress is i

unfortunate situation is you know these types of things will continue to evan until they don't so you know i think it's wise to try to get mr gray some attention and try to do some damage control with this incident and only count all the people that were in the wrong but to really help prevent this from happening in the future i think we need to like you said ask questions about the use of undercovers and even the what you're looking at the provision of law enforcement as a good or service through the course of a monopoly where there is no incentive to do to appease and have customer service or you get alone even be accountable it does seem like it is a huge problem even if it can mean did have a gun to have two undercover officers in plain clothes likely not identify themselves as police i mean when they pull out a gun and tell you to decide heart i mean it if you're in a bad part of town i mean i'm from oakland and like that that's just a huge problem and it's self so i think that that's a really good point that you just brought up and this is the case of undercover officers doing this kind of activity let's talk about th

today they hope to use evidence to officially link evan ebel to the killing of mr. clements.ly suspect, to be clear on that. we want to be sure to nail that down. they have been working since the first day of this case in prison, trying to see if there was somebody inside that had a part in some sort of conspiracy perhaps as you mentioned, putting out a hit. now, when we talk to prison officials, they're clear this they don't have any indication of this -- of that at this point. they want to be absolutely sure that public officials in this state are safe. and here's why. we have been here at this memorial for tom clements, memorializing this man, people recognized the real human toll that this crime has taken. we heard from his wife, lisa, publicly for the first time, she spoke at the memorial with her daughters, sarah and rachel. look. >> last tuesday night tom and i were watching tv and our doorbell rang. and my life was forever changed, but i want to start a little earlier and talk about when our story really started. i was 19 years old, and i fell in love with a guy who s

mr. clemens. our reporter has been in colorado since the story broke. he has more details on the alleged shooter, evan ebel. >> reporter: evan ebel grew up on this quiet street in lakewood, colorado. neighbors say when he was around, it was anything but quiet. >> he just seemed ang rich. he was an angry kid. >> reporter: vicki banky lives across the street from the home why ebel lived with his father and sister. >> i could see him. he'd be running out on his -- on the front lawn to come out with a car with friends. he would have screaming on sen 'tis laced arguments with them. one time i saw him, you know, take something to the back of the friend's car he was so mad. you know, he just struck me as angry. and troubled. >> reporter: neighbors vividly recall ebel's wild streak in addition to the violent encounters with his friends, one time he was seen jumping off the roof of the house here. another time he was overheard loudly talking about his cocaine use. ebel's criminal record dates back to his teenage years. there was a misdemeanor conviction for obstruction of a police officer. then at least five f

mr. rash was instrumental in helping to enact has still not yet gone into effect. so we have no idea what will happen. >> brown: and evan carroll, i mean, there has been pushback by companies. there's been some states where this hasn't gone through. what's the argument against states taking action? is it that they need more of a federal overview on this? what is it? >> each and every service... let's use facebook or g-mail, for example. when someone signs up for it they enter a terms of service. that's the document that many of us probably don't read as we're checking the boxes trying to set up our account. then there are many things specified. sometimes it does even specify what happens to the account once someone is gone. these service providers they want to make sure that they're honoring the contract they've entered into with the account holder. if they said the account would be private as in the case of yahoo's terms they want to honor that promise. also there's a certain cost to dealing with each and everyone of these situations. i would imagine that many of these firms wouldn't be interested in occurring without

mr. clements obviously was the target of this homicide. >> reporter: initially, the suspect's identity was a mystery. >> there's no identification, nothing. >> reporter: sources tell abc news they believe the suspect is evan spencer ebel and last night were seeking conclusive identification and describe him as a former denver inmate who may have been part of a white supremacist prison gang. police said that the suspect is brain dead. last night colorado police were on their way to texas to search the car for clues about clements and possibly another murder. nathan leon, a pizza delivery man was shot and killed last sunday. sources tell abc news police in texas, discovered a domino's pizza jacket and pizza box in the suspect's car. police are hoping the suspect's gun and ballistics evidence will help them figure out if he's involved in either killing. >> pierre, do we know any more about this potential tie between the fact that this was a former inmate in a denver prison and one of the victims was head of prisons in colorado? do we think that's the possible motive there? >> reporter: the primary thing is the car. similar description of the car in the chase and what was near the home of mr. clements. the ba

mr. swalwell: i want to acknowledge the board of directors, diane mcdermott, rick bar that will mue, paul hodgers and penny hodges, guy sandoval, bruce roberts, maria servin, don evans and bill lue. hayward's motto is the heart of the bay but it is the heart and mind and forward thinking of these individuals that really enriches hayward and makes it such a special place to live. i want to congratulate them on their 30th anniversary and wish them well in the next 30 years and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker, i rise today in support of the university of illinois, which i'm prourd to represent its flagship -- proud to represent its flagship campus in champaign-urbana. it plans to build a research facility which will attract researchers from all over the world this lab will operate on the principles of innovation and entrepreneurship. this

mr. lee: thank you, senator barrasso. i find it interesting what you observed on the streets of towns like evan stoond cheyenne and jill -- and cheyenne and gillette in wyoming is backed up by a recent poll by glup. that polls -- gallon-up. that -- gallup. this gallup poll shows that americans believe more than half of every dollar that hard-working americans earn and send to washington gets wasted. congress and the president should be working together to target, reform, diewf and eliminate -- reduce, and eliminate wasteful spending that the american people are noticing. and they should be working to get rid of and reform ineffective programs. the president meanwhile is threatening to make cuts to government spending as painful as it can 30sably be. instead of targeting waste the president is using scare tactics to persuade americans cuts have to come from important services like law enforcement, national security, border patrol, first responders. and educators. just today, the administration announced that it was going to furlough schoolteachers who educate the children of military families on u.s. military bases. recogn
