mr. wolf: i yield to the gentleman from maryland, dr. harris, for 2 1/2 minutes. the chair: the gentleman may not yield blocks of time. the gentleman may yield. mr. wolf: i yield to dr. harris. the chair: the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. harris: thank you very much. mr. chairman, marijuana is neither safe nor legal. let's get it straight. the controlled substance act makes marijuana in the united states illegal. because it's not safe. and, mr. chairman, there's more and more evidence every day that it's not safe. the effect on the brain, developing brains of teenagers and young adults is becoming more and more clear. the effect, as the doctor from louisiana has talked about, the effect on affect, the effect on mood is not safe. and, mr. chairman, this is not a medicine. this would be like me as a physician saying, you know, i think you need pen central, go chew on some mold. of course i wouldn't do that. i write for 250 milligrams of penicillin. i don't write chew on mold a couple times a day. mr. chairman, why don't we have therapeutic tobacco? nicot

mr. harris? >> no. >> ms. grant? >> no. >> mr. brandon? >> no. >> mr. tillis?noted that all of the republican candidates chuckled about a question about climate change as if they'd been askeds about their belief in the tooth fairy. what drives that disbelief? well, first consider this. last spring, pew research noted something else. that while only 40% of americans said that global climate change was a major threat to their country, more than 50% of canadians, australians, french, and germans gave that answer. more than 60% of italians and spaniards. and more than 70% of japanese. what accounts for the difference in concern? as i tweeted this week, fewer americans worry when climate change than canadians, aussies, french, or germans? hey, do they have talk radio there? in other words, this all-important matter of global survival has been relegated to the trash heap of our partisan divide fuelled not by scientific debate but by bluster generated by men with microphones. how do we change things? here's a terrific suggestion that came from a letter to the editor o

mr. sterling harris not agreed to accept that. >> former microsoft ceo steve balmer has reached an agreemento buy the l.a. clippers for a whopping $2 billion. >> two young students, one from new york, the other from texas, were declared cochampions of the scripps national spelling bee. >> from across the bay to around the world, the stories that matter on "kpix 5 news this morning." captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com >> out of here! >>> your realtime captioner is linda macdonald. >>> and good morning, tgif! >> yeah. >> it's friday, may 30. good to have you with us. i'm frank mallicoat. >> i'm juliette goodrich in for michelle griego. 6:00, let's check in with liza battalones for a check on morning commute. good morning. >>> good morning. the friday commute looking good. south bay driving just a little bit of slow traffic for north 101 as you leave the 280/680 interchange down to 42 miles per hour but 280 has been wide open approaching downtown san jose. take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have had backups there this morning with the metering lights on. traffi

mr. harris from maryland, who was indefensible and helpful to the rest of us. again we got a capable staff and without, frankly, wonderful working partner in my ranking member, we would have had a much more difficult time. frankly i don't think anybody in this institution knows this bill and this process better than ms. wasserman schultz. she's been my friend and as i was once on her committee as a very junior member when she chaired it, i learned a lot from her then and learned more this time. i look forward to debate. with that, madam -- madam chairman, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlelady from florida is recognized. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you, madam chair. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: without objection. ms. wasserman schultz: first, i want to thank chairman rogers and my ranking member, nita lowey, for the commitments they made to regular order, which is why we have our second appropriations bill on the house floor by may 1. it is my hope that we can stay tr

it's accrued interest time with mr edward harris and now every friday we put you the viewer into the driver's seat when you steer the show with your comments questions and concerns all sent to us throughout the week here twitter you tube and facebook let's dive right in first up we have mr zak eight eight eight who writes pretty capitalism question our question are not this merger is it capitalism there is no such thing is good or bad or crony under capitalism if it makes money then it's considered correct either through hook or by crook you had idiot libertarians defending capitalism by naming monopolies crony i'm sorry but capitalism is a moral that goal is to make money pretty happy stuff so when you think capitalism immoral maybe i don't know where it's coming from perhaps it is immoral because you know at the end of the day i think really will boils down to is that you know people do want to make money but let's put some parameters around this we have a quote here that i want to put up there is in the operation of a market economy only one instance in which the proprietary class

mr. huckabee, former governor huckabee, who has really stepped up to the plate for harris. >> sir, i wouldne that their message just cannot be that whatever president obama is for, we are against. platforms?eir what do these candidates stand for? >> that is a good question. i do not think it has been very easy for them to differentiate themselves, and it would be difficult for tillis, for example, to say i am more electable, a more established candidate, and i think the biggest fear in this primary and, frankly, another couple big ones, particularly in georgia -- for instance, on the 20th, and in kentucky, and then, frankly, moving onto alaska later in the summer, is that they do not want to have a nomination cycle wherein you will have either a nominee or a competitor that will make sort of impolitic comments. the fear is if we have a runoff necessitated by the fact that mr. tillis does not get the 40%, you could have mr. brandon, for or, you know, harris make some comments that would call some negative attention all while they hagan, the incumbent democrat, can conserve her resources and

man areas at the same publisher of the business new europe buying news website mr harris thank you very much indeed for your time. where still trying to get word on the whereabouts and ground phillips the british journalist working for all sane ukraine we have now managed to get our hands on this media attention. and here you can see armed men stopping raman das came by his id the man who filmed this is concerned for his safety and so he even asked us to delete his voice from their bond ground and we last heard from ground about twenty hours ago aussies are now going to has known that according to his source graham phillips is most likely being taken to kiev in order to be interrogated by the ukrainian security services or the at this point we haven't heard from graham phillips since tuesday when he has described his ordeal to r.t. i'm going. to take him on the. bollocks and say that. because. only. a small i do are you who are. walking. off. the course in the caribbean cruise. ship in response or at least plea for help you case for an officer there monitoring the situation and are stan

i love what you and harry belafonte did together. sorry mr. d. -- mr. b.led "it ain't over until it's over." why this and why now? and ao around the country lot of people come to see me. they are all -- women over 40 have been laid off, lost their jobs. their husband died or got a divorce. they had a great dream to raise a family and now, they are 42 years old and their daughter has a drivers license and their son is going to college. that dream runs out on them. there are so many reasons why women who are out of the job market have to come up with a new way to take care of themselves and their children. some of these women have hit bottom. one woman was homeless and started a company by inventing straws and party goods. she slept on friend's couches. one ran away from an abusive marriage. i had never thought about this before. the only thing she takes is her kids. another woman started a company to make close to get to their women who -- the women who run away with children. another is called come and no underwear. -- commando underwear. i will not ask yo

mr. john harris. >> willie, good morning. >> we were talking about the elections.maries in pennsylvania, even the backing of bill and hillary clinton could not before support for one of the charlies. tell us about. >> marge jjorie margolii "s." shp she got blown out. brendan boyle won it handily. it looks like marjorie marge goal lease' career is probably over. >> a political ad, bill clinton on the stump for the stump here. >> sure. >> if you send marjorie to congress, she'll make you proud. i'm not coming here saying vote for her because 20 years ago, she saved the economy. she'll take initiative. she'll stand up when you need to stand up. and i think america will be a better place and this district will be well served if you elect her. >> i'm marjorie margolies asking for your vote. that's why i approve this message. >> brendan boyle moves on easily in that race. >> quickly, before i let you go, while we're talking about the clintons, keystone groups, people who oppose the keystone pipeline trying to bring hillary clinton into this fight? >> she's made it clear

big deal i'm with my partner in crime mr edward harris and today we're talking about the how involved the i.p.o. and forty thieves are from this still saying ok so just be clear i'm not talking about alibaba and the forty thieves but i'm talking about the chinese e-commerce giant now alibaba has filed paperwork to sell stock in an i.p.o. and estimates put the company estimates put the company's worth at perhaps two hundred billion dollars so edward a quick way to summarize alibaba is kind of like taking amazon pay paul mixing it all into one and putting chinese characters on it essentially it's the is the amazon of china so i want to ask you can you describe what other divisions and and services are within the alibaba group basically and what they what they do that can justify this massive massive i.p.o. number definitely i think we have a chart here let's let's bring it up. here some of the companies that that we see you know it's not just alibaba but also they have pe which is the paper. and then you have three or four of these other companies as well and then we have a chart as wel

spent in public service, bob dole returned to thank the public at age 90 and harry smith was along for the ride so tonight, mr. smith goes to the heart of dole country in kansas. >> reporter: the body may be frail but the voice is unmistakable. >> i'm not running for anything, though, i'm thinking about 2016. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> reporter: yeah, that's bob dole, once known as an attack dog, at 90 he purrs. >> i want to thank y'all for coming, one time i can say to you i don't want any of your money.

mark harris is ten points be hind mr. brannon. they have a way to go counting votes bus the early returns at least don't look that close. mr. tillis wants 40% of the vote plus one so he could avoid a run-off. needs the early returns to hold up as the votes come in if he is to avoid a run-off and go to the general election campaign. we'll keep you posted as the numbers come the in. joining us is a political reporter from the charlotte observer covering north carolina politics for more than three decades. thanks for joining us. >> nice to be here. >> the results may take a long time to come in and you can't tell what you should extrapolate but do you expect the result wills hold up and tillis will get the knoll nation tonight? >> i do. i think the early polls are consistent -- the exit polls are consistent with recent surveys and political polls that show tillis avoiding a run-off. democrats would love a run-off. republicans would hate it. >> in terms of the democrats preferences here it was clear they were hoping for a run-off. tha

are you understanding that nancy pelosi, harry reid and other powerful democrats? mr.ma is in charge. yet, we see a more aeconomy. foreign policy, scandal after scandal at home and constant refrains that the president is concerned. yet, little gets done. >> it is long past time to stop the political gamesmanship. both parties should be working together to solve intense problems like the v.a. this is personal for us. we here at the factor know the v.a. is incompetence and callus to boot. how do we know that? because factor viewers, you guys have donated an astounding $25 million to get high tech wheelchairs for vets severely wounded in iraq and afghanistan. not once did we hear have shinseki or the v.a. not once did the general call to congratulate factor viewers on their unbelievable largess. just this week. in wisconsin donated a million dollars to the independence fund.org to get the track chairs to the wounded. is he a world war ii vet and obviously a patriot. the v.a. and shinseki should have been buying these life altering wheelchairs. but they totally ignored the

mr. brashov. i overslept this morning and never got out to deliver them. - victor, say hello to harry. - how do you do ? do well. thank you very much. harry's president of our senior citizen's group. yeah. jess told me about your situation and i talked the gang into coming here for their morning coffee break. i am very happy to have you with us. please, make yourself comfortable. well, i plan to do just that. jess says you serve a great cup of coffee. your banker should be impressed when he sees this. and we'll have an upward profit curve in no time. this is a disaster ! nobody's ordering anything. what about the guy who ordered one pancake ? oh, right. last of the big spenders. the man at table one says his oatmeal is cold. it wasn't when i served it to him an hour and a half ago. jess, i'm afraid your idea is not working. - give it a chance, victor. - look. that man is sleeping and nobody eats. those two ladies are sharing an order of toast. i'm losing more money than ever. uh-oh. here comes mr. sharp pencil. - mr. who ? - a figure of speech if you know what i mean. welcome to crossroads cafe ! m

as our own harry smith found out he's changing a lot of young lives in the process so tonight mr.mith goes back to the place rooted in time. >> reporter: time said einstein is relative. there's no difference between the past, the present, and the future. really? tell that to someone whose watch is broken. crazy as it sounds in this increasingly digital age what the world needs now is more watchmakers. >> without giving it a second thought i would take ten tomorrow. >> reporter: ten? >> ten. tomorrow. >> reporter: terry is the technical director for turner watches in new york. he and his fellow artisans are ageing and there's few places left that teach this. it requires skill, and smarts and something that might surprise you. >> number one, harry is passion. if you don't have the passion you won't last long. >> reporter: his solution start a watch making class for high school kids right down the hall. >> get your tools out on your benches. >> reporter: few of these students had a clue what they were getting into. some say the class came along just in the nick of time. >> well, it's

harry reid is the right messenger. he's a very polarizing figure. what i do believe is that mr.o owns the redskins doesn't get to decide if native americans are offended. native americans get to decide for themselves if that's an offensive name and the vast majority of native americans do believe it's offensive and i think we all have to understand and respect that. it's self-determination. so i hope that mr. snyder will listen and give more than just give money to the native organizations or blankets as harry reid call themmed aed the think they'll be fine moving forward with a new name. >> goldie, do you think. -- first, do you want that to happen and do you think it will? >> i wish that snyder would take it upon himself to change the name of his team, but the fact is that we haven't seen the level of leverage as we've seen as in the nba situation. we haven't seen a widespread consumer revolt in terms of the people attending the games and we haven't seen players stand up collectively to press this change. you haven't seen the nfl itself really do anything and ordinary to make

this is a harry reid invention largely, and i'll give you the facts. mr. reid has used the gag rule to fill the amendment tree, which is a parliamentary term. but he's used his gag rule to cut off amendments 85 times, more than twice the number of the previous six leaders combined. and these were democrats and republicans. senator dole invoked the procedural tactic only seven times. senator robert byrd, a giant, an expert, an historian in the use of senate rules, invoked it only three times. senator mitchell of maine, three times, senator lott, 11 times, senator daschle, one time, and senator frist, 15 times. and yet time after time again, some 85 times, this majority leader has decided he will decide that the senate doesn't variety, that the people of mississippi and the people of north dakota don't have a right for their senator to come up and offer an idea and let it rise or fall based on whether it is good policy or not. this is an outrage that the people of the united states need to understand. when past majorities, when entrusted with protecting this

mr. president, if i win, don't bother calling. she's also taking a shot at nancy pelosi and harry reid. smart, right? >> very smart. the right kind of ad for that state and that race. at the moment it matches where things are. the republican brand has a problem for 2016. the democratic brand has a problem right now. >> interesting, you mentioned the democrats -- we paid a lot of attention to this pennsylvania house primary, marjory margolis. she lost because she wasn't a good candidate. the day after the abortion rights advocates criticized the democrat that won. the democrats are criticizing their nominee. listen to john boehner here who says what conflict with the tea party. >> i thought the election went well. we're going to have good candidates on the ballot. i'm not going to enter into this distinction between the tea party and republicans because it's a distinction you're going to have a hard time finding. >> that statement is ludicrous. boehner wants to passism grags reform. tea party says no. boehner would prefer the debt ceiling go up without any drama, tea party says no. he wanted to strike a grand bargai

mrs. nixon contributed to your life? >> harry reasoner was reportedly unhappy.lion dollar salary, a network first, parodied as barbara wawa on "snl." >> the barbara wawa used to bother me. >> biggest interviews, fidel castro, all the american presidents. her biggest success turned out to be "the view," the midday coffee. >> she's a trailblazer. she literally led the way. all the women in news right now probably watched her as kids and said that's what i want to do. >> this is my legacy. >> a true pro to the end. signing off for good but we don't want to believe it. >> maybe instead of good-bye i should say abiento, which in french means i'll see you later. >> such a nice sendoff. >> it was. it was beautifully done. >> she doesn't strike me as the kind of person that's going to retire, though. >> i don't think so, no. >> we'll continue to see her big interviews. >> she may have her own version of retirement. >> still ahead, two of barbara walters most fascinating people last year, kim and kanye. are they getting closer to tying the knot? and where will it >>> sti

one of that we can the success stories of the 21st century harry and we are making progress and that is the way to challenge their worldview. mrspeaker, there is deep concern in the british scientific community about the proposed takeover of astrazeneca by pfizer. this could have an impact for decades to come on british jobs, british investment, british exports. the business secretary said yesterday, he is not ruling out intervention. what type of intervention is under consideration by government? >> i actually agree with what the business secretary said. let me be clear, the most important intervention we can make is to back british jobs, , british medicine and british technology. that is why i asked the cabinet secretary and my ministers to engage with both companies from the start of this process. i make no apology for that. we know what happens when you don't engage, when you stand back and just say you're opposed to everything. what you get is abject surrender and no guarantees for britain. we are fighting for british science. think it is a pity he is tried to play politics rather than backing -- >> let me say, first of a

shane harris in the back. >> thanks, mr. carlin for being here.alked about the difficulty of putting these cases together and that it can take years and very particular allegations and evidence in the indictments. i'm wondering can you talk about to what extent the victim companies themselves and presumably there are many others can be useful and are you reaching out to them to try to encourage them to come forward with information that might be helpful or do you contact them and ask them to participate in the investigations in any way? >> because this is an open case, without discussing this case in particular, yes, in general the national security division, the national security cyber specialists in the field and our partners at the fbi and other agencies are definitely reaching out to companies both who warn individuals about the threat and encourage them to stay tepz to keep them from happening but also work with them when it does occur. that's critical, that type of partnership so we can learn and take steps to try to protect u.s. companies a

another pastor named charlotte harris is running. mr.lis doesn't reach this number, what happens ext? >> if you have a lot of energized tea parties or bunch of energized social conservatives, they could ring you problems. is the speaker of the house, a pretty firmd record. the -- it is no doubt that there is a conservative platform. he sounded even more conservative during the primary campaign in which i believe is little space as possible between him and the tea party candidate. ist: what can a position hagan in? president obama is not popular down here. his approval was in the 30's, i think, maybe low 40's. we have been bombarded over the air by all these groups that are criticizing her support of the ford will care act. carved -- she has not carved in identity out for yourself here. she has a little bit of work to do. this is going to be a national race. it will have natural implications for the senate. national -- be a host: can you expand on her television ads? caller: she has been going tillis, calling him to radical and criticizin

harry reid over in the senate. we went back and scoured the rule, mr. speaker. the rule didn't change. not one i dotted differently. not one t crossed differently. there was no change in any written document. the written document that required the religious organizations to provide contraceptives, and sterilizations. the president said, now the insurance companies have to do this for free. not one word changed in print anywhere. the insurance companies stepped up to that verbal directive from the president of the united states. be appalling to any american citizen that took an eighth grade civics course to understand that the president doesn't write laws. the president doesn't have the authority to change them. congress has granted to the executive branch the authority to write rules, and administrative procedures act that directs how those rules that are proposed by the executive branch are published, for open public hearing. there is a process they must go through. the president is not the king. the president doesn't get to issue edicts verbally from the podium and have the force and

there's absolutely no way harry reid is going to allow that to happen. so, graham and ayacht and mr. mccain can continue to have their press conferences. this is a way for lindsey graham to draw attention to himself. he has a primary coming up. this is a popular subject for him. it's something he continues to talk about. i don't think he's going to let it go anytime soon. >> dana, what's amazing to me is the polling on this. you suggest this is not a great strategy. fox news asked a poll question, if you are talking leading questions, here is the textbook example. i'll read it. the poll asked, in the aftermath of the benghazi terrorist attacks, the administration incorrectly claimed it was a spontaneous result to a video even though the administration had intelligence reports the attacks were connected to terrorist groups connected to al qaeda. do you think the administration lied to help the president during the ongoing re-election campaign or not? even with that phrasing, with that leading verbiage, the respondents say 30% of republicans are looking to get to the truth. 63 say rep

tavis: harry hamlin has the distinction of being into groundbreaking in me winning tv steer -- series, l.a. law starting back in 1986, and now "mad men." not a bad track record, mr. hamlin. season,w in its final seven episodes this year and seven episodes in 2015. >> this agency is too dependent on creative personalities. people speaking about this agency, they should be speaking about our media department. we need to invest in a computer. we need to tell our clients we are thinking about the future, not creative hijinks. genius.s a he's costing us a fortune. >> you hate him. >> i don't. >> this is a financial decision. >> obviously it's not. sizablew don draws a salary and has a partnership stake. that cost more than a computer. about jim. me more >> i find out more about him every time i get another script. when i was hired to do the job, i was hired for one day only. they wouldn't give me a copy of the script and they didn't tell me the guy name or what he did. [laughter] it was very unusual for me. i don't usually work that way. but i think the day they asked me to come in was a thursday. andirst i said to my wife my agent, i'm not accustomed to going in for

harris. in a word, no. the excerpteds that came out remain as defiant and combative as ever. mrs.es, those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served the country. will not be part of a political slugfest on the back of dead americans, it's plain wrong and unworthy of cower done -- our great country. tough tough. the timing of the leak is convenient. today top democrats met at the office of third way, think tank created by bill clinton's former aides. the meeting was about national security matters that the former secretary of state would have to deal with, as well as when she will be asked to testify in from of the select committee on benghazi. clinton herself met secretly with president obama yesterday. the meeting happened right after the president's summit on sports concussions which mrs. clinton knows about, having suffered a severe concussion in 2012, ruling in a blood clot in her brain, and ongoing questions about her halve. once the book tour ends she will deal with campaign us with the democrats for he 2014 electio

jail the people that we've highlighted in my series were the owners of a company called mr nice guy that was dylan harris and john shelley they served one year in prison so it obviously laws need to catch up to the speed of these drug dealers putting out these sort of products that's what the d.a. agents are sort of hoping for is that the laws will catch up at the same time though as many times as the da and state and local entities try to leg regulated the chemical manufacturers just switch. one part of the compound and all of the sudden it becomes legal again now one of the really interesting kind of issues dealing with these synthetic drugs is that a lot of people say and unless you specifically test they do not show up on drug tests your analysis and whatnot so for instance in colorado there are still a lot of people that are using so that it can happen once and what not because unless they are specifically tested for employers and what not won't catch the fact that employees unions are using this heavy drug so is this why it's so difficult to regulate them it's part of the tracing and that they can

mr. morel, with petraeus, with susan rice. the reality is because we don't need to spend a lot more time on this. harry reid -- >> agrees to that. i know. we were just showing the video of when you were in benghazi in 2011. you were actually walking with ambassador chris stevens. and that's very eerie to see that video now that he has passed. this is personal for you on many levels. if harry reid does not take this up -- and i know you doubt that he will -- how does the senate get involved, then? >> well, i believe we have every chance of taking the majority in 2014, this november, and beginning next january, i would work with senator corker, who would be chairman of the foreign relations committee, senator bur, chairman of the intelligence committee, i would to chairman of the armed services committee. and i guarantee you will go after. we owe it to those family members. i've met with those family members. it breaks your heart, especially the mothers. >> we've interviewed them here on trss the as well. growing calls for eric shinseki over the shocking reports of neglect at the phoenix v.a. center wher
