alexander gave me that. he cost me the role because i think -- because laura starred in his first movie "citizen ruth." so i'd only met him for an hour, that was 18 years ago. but there was something in -- he's a movie fan so he sees movies that i've been in and there wasing? there that he felt he could use to surprise the folks. and i think that was part of why he cast me because we felt we kind of put a surprise out there and who was going to play the role and the way he played the role. i don't think people would anticipate the performance that i do in this movie. i don't think there's another movie that i've done where you can say oh, yeah, he's obviously woody. because i'm always the quick guy, the guy that drives it, the guy that does this or that and the guy that motivates him will be turning one way or the other. and the biggest problem for me in the film was to be detached. and the wonderful thing i've always thought when i'll do with the people in my family who many many have been there. the derns

so senator alexander, thank you very much. i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: on behalf of the people of tennessee that i represent and i think the american people as well, i want to thank the senator from iowa for his leadership on these two bills but particularly on the compounding pharmacy bill. our differences of opinion in the united states senate are well advertised on obamacare, on debt, on syria, a whole vartd of matters. you would say the reason we exist is to debate the bill issues that -- big issues that haven't been resolved somewhere else. but there's another aspect of the senate as rarely well advertised and that's when we get a result. and sometimes the results take a long time, involve a lot of people and are very difficult to get to and that is the case with these two bills and had not senator harkin been patient and as well as aggressive at the same time, in working with republicans and democrats, with members of the house we would not have gotten to today. i think it's importan

robert of save the children, and in san francisco, alexander.obert, you mentioned earlier in the program pre-positioned, being ready for things that happen around the world. in this case given the particular profile of the typhoon, did that help? >> it definitely helped. we had two planeloads, two 747s that we dispatched one from europe, one from dubai with those specific medicines and clinical supplies arriving in cebu over the weekend, and if we had not done that, we would have to wait for more donations to come in to be able to mobilize and try to actually try to purchase those things. having that beforehand we got the right things in at the right time. >> wasn't there a last mile problem that stuff was making it to the philippines, to the archipelago, but could not necessarily get from where it was to where it was needed? >> well, that's clearly by one of the problems over the past week. we have been able to find barns and other things that we've been able to get from cebu to the leyte, to tacloban. that has been one of the bigger challenges

the opinion of general alexander? absolutely. >> he has been charged with leaking and compromising the integrity of our intelligence. >> just your personal opinion. >> unfortunately as a justice department official but there is a case involved, it is difficult to do that under the rules of professional responsibility. >> i think most people feel he has done a great service -- a great disservice to the country. >> i want to make sure i answered all the snowden things. if i could just ask the deputy attorney general to make sure i hit this already in you asked some constitutional questions but i am not a lawyer. only thing i would add is that certain foreigners who are in the united states do have certain constitutional rights. i would be the only amendment i make. >> perhaps you could elaborate that for the committee at some point. >> we could get some information. m a i yield back. >> thank you very much. say to general clapper, and director i am a new member of the committee and i have learned so much in this small a

last month, alexander won a new trial.begin in march. >>> health officials in nevada are trying to figure out what caused nearly 100 youth football players and adults to get sick. at least 18 people staying at the rio hotel had to be taken to the hospital with flu-like symptoms. more than 7,000 kids and adults are participating in that football tournament in vegas. >>> tomorrow night, tune into our seventh annual "cnn heroes: an all-star tribute." it celebrates ten extraordinary individuals who are driven to help others. one of those being honored is tawanda jones. her hometown of camden, new jersey, is one of the united states' most violent cities. through her drill team, she provides discipline, motivation and support. >> who are we? what does it mean? [ inaudible ] are y'all ready! ♪ >> it's very hard for children growing up in camden today. it's like they don't have an alternative, like they're forced into the streets. >> hop, hop, hop, hop! >> we're in the middle of chase street. this is where most of the drug dealers

alexander claims she is the victim. a warning shot in the middle of an altercation is the only thing she had to save her life. >> i believe when he made the threat to kill me, that's exactly what he had intended to do. if i not discharged my weapon at that points are i would not be here. >> reporter: an appellate court reversed the jury's guilty verdict earlier this year, kriegt an error with guilty instructions on self-defense. >>> 18 minutes past the hour. clear for takeoff. a major airline merger is one step closer to reality. us airways and american airlines have reached a deal blocking their joining forces. as part of the agreement, the airlines will give competitors greater access to some key airports. in exchange, they'll get to create the world's largest airline. >>> controversial new guidelines likely to change the number of americans taking cholesterol lowering drugs. they urged patients to take drugs based on overall risk. even with statins of normal cholesterol numbers if the risk is high enough. researchers

. >> i think the best way to summarize the nsa surveillance mindset is to quote general alexander who runs the agency. he had a motto when he was in iraq, in charge of surveillance of the iraqi population against whom the united states waged war, which was, collect it all. >> what do you say to the people who are like, i don't do anything wrong, i don't care if they see my emails or hear my calls? people who say that don't actually believe it. they put locks on their bedroom and bathroom doors. every time somebody says to me, i have nothing to hide, i don't care about privacy, i always say to them, please give me all the passwords to your email accounts and your facebook account. nobody has ever taken me up on that offer because we instinctively as human beings know that we crave privacy. j. edgar hoover had information on everybody in congress and the white house. this now is information on them and everybody in the country. and everybody in the world, really. >> before edward snowden, there was william binney: a former senior official at the nsa who helped develop some of the early

thank you very much >> alexander thank you. we're going to move on. >> my immigration story is similar to a lot of entrepreneurs. i came to the united states to pursue a masters in technology. i love my experience being part of the education system and getting a masters and learning from people who were innovating things themselves and teaching students how to do. being able to be there and being able to be a part of this is incredible. i moved to the valley area to an internship here. my very first job was a start up. trying to take an idea it was so inspiring. being able to experience that desired me to start my own business. i came over on the student visa and working for different employers i was tied to the employer who was definitely very limiting. the process take a long time. but finally, i was able to get a gastrocard and start my own business. that's important and being able to be a part of this in this debate on immigration reform is critical. personally immigration reform t is important for me. i care a lot about fi

alexander has now spent more than 1,000 days in jail.a times union" reporter. thank you for your time. we could see a decision mid-january, january 15th specifically. again, this would be a mother away from her children more days here. i guess it's intriguing. these text messages presented by her attorney. why didn't that impact the decision from the judge? >> well, the judge hasn't made a ruling. he said he's going to try to rule before january 15th, but he seemed pessimistic he would, saying he had 50 other cases to deal with. i thought the text messages were very interesting. the argument was that it meant he isn't afraid of marissa alexander. since the only violence alleged is against her estranged husband, then if he's not afraid of her, the public has no reason to be afraid of her. >> we're looking at days here, as i said, but is this considered a legal setback? would this have any impact on the upcoming trial? >> i don't think so. i spoke to her lawyer after the hearing. he said he was okay with marissa not getting out today. he w

chief keith alexander who said that his agency is told who to spy on by the policymakers alexander also pointing out that it's also the u.s. ambassador's among those ordering the snooping around mcgovern who worked as a cia officer under seven different u.s. administrations so if indeed president obama really doesn't know what the n.s.a. is doing it raises many serious questions. i think in many ways it's worse for obama not to have known host who's running the show it where does the buck stop so equally bad is that he knew he didn't know this backfilling and this real vendetta between the n.s.a. chiefs who were shown to be very fast and loose with the truth. alexander for one and then clapper who. was the head of the intelligence apparatus so as it made it to lying to the congress felony that there was sort of trying to defend themselves by telling everyone they told the president every i don't know whom to believe because both sides have been very sparing with the truth. and in its search for the truth about america's spying germany has reached out to the one person behind the global

alexander for one and then clapper who. was the head of the intelligence apparatus who is it made it to lying to the congress felony that they are to sort of try to defend themselves by telling everyone they told the president every i don't know whom to believe because both sides have been very sparing with the truth. did it so it's for the truth about america's spying germany's reached out to the post and behind the global scandal that of edward snowden a green party m.p.'s met with the fugitive whistleblower here in moscow to discuss his assistance in a potential investigation into the n.s.a.'s operations he says the words of the u.s. can no longer be trusted. basically you will because i think it's important to work together with mr snowden rather than putting him in prison we'd like more clarity on these allegations and we want to make sure something like this doesn't happen again snowden worked for many years for the cia and n.s.a. so i'm sure he can tell us everything we need to know about the leaked documents because

. >> we also asked him why he wanted to protect alexander. he didn't want to reveal the identity of the imposter. >> to throw him to the wolves, what would that make me out to be? this is my best friend's son. one of the things that brought us together as friendships is the fact that we love our children. >> saved said i'm going to ride this out and not throw alexander to the wolves. >> i wonder if it didn't damage his reputation even more. >> that led to us ask would you have done anything differently, spoken out earlier or handled this differently? >> i suppose if there was a preventable moment, it would have been not to keep mile-per-hour facebo my facebook account open and active at any moment. >> a lot of people questioned whether alexander's son is going under the bus -- >> if pisses me off, when you sit there and tell the truth and somebody calls you a liar. >> flat screen giveaway time is coming up, everybody. >> we're giving one away you have to have the wednesday buzz word. you have to be 18 or older and you have to be a u.s. reside

i also think that the organization including nsc chief keith alexander aren't always be truthful they want to claim they'll never bring german laws and their surveillance operations but tapping the chancellor's ford is not legal. that's why i have trouble trusting u s intelligence official. it was a lawyer who's been helping address noting is that tend to avoid u s prosecution explain why his client will have difficulties eating german officials despite his willingness to help the provision of a new cool is that it's an agent on the fraction of the kiddies go refugee status it and if he travels to different country. he uses us as gemini has any questions. last night and it was the result retreat teeth exists between jimmy maher said. edward would have to travel that test the following want to live that they do still apply leave me comments in the us government was undertaking basis. deadwood is still on the wanted list. we've done everything possible to ensure security. one response abated somewhat something guys. i wouldn't comment on that because they too have been following the sit

not just mitch mcconnell, lamar alexander, john mccain and others that resisted this.many democrats, including diane feinstein, patrick leahy resisted the nuclear option as well, but now they flipped. >> they flipped out of frustration, obviously, particularly on this particular case that jeff toobin is talking. but what the republicans are warning, they're saying, if you thought things were partisan before this, just wait because the question is, once you eliminate the filibuster on these set of judicial nominees, do you open the door on anything else? and will republicans then decide, okay, as long as we got the filibuster on everything else, we will filibuster everything else because we believe this was a raw power grab as lamar alexander put it. lamar alexander said, you know, that this is now a senate without rules. >> let me play that quick clip from john mccain. >> okay. >> underline how angry he is right now about this. >> i know it puts a chill on the entire united states senate. it puts a chill on things like the dis abilities treaty, which we had a hearing o

ross on the line he's research director of the german russian forum alexander thanks to make of the time to be with us that i mean this isn't the final cancellation of these so-called association talks towards a deal is it it's just merely been perspired and yes what's your understanding. well we don't know but one. scenario could be that everything. can be resumed at the next e.u. korean summit in the eagle which will be organized next year and the crane will say now they are ready to sign and the european union will agree with that this is one of the good possibility the possibility that the european union will get. frustrated with the crane and will understand that train is not poland is not hungary is not czech it's a completely different country was another political system of the conditions completely different economic system a different history and that country look rain will need much longer to adopt the european standards which the european union and. asked crane to implement in this association so let us see in the wake and the scenarios of course russia i don't know what

yesterday general alexander, the head of the n.s.a., denied that the n.s.a. is tapping into the servers or databases or data centers of google and yahoo! that's not what we said. what we said is they're tapping into the that's between data center here and the data center there. so they're capturing the data as it moves across the net, not in storage where it's at rest. >> how does this work? this works in the cloud, i suppose. and it also works in collaboration with the british government.

that's how henry v won, how alexander defeated the persians. go for the defensive and make time go on the attack. today, the democratic leadership struck with all its pent-up fury. it broke through the lines and then strangled every effort to move the country forward and

with that i invite senator alexander for his opening statement. >> thanks for this second and series of hearings on the higher education reauthorization, i'm really looking forward to this, this is a distinguished panel of people who know what they're talking about, and so that ought to inform us in terms of what we should be doing, and what we ought not to be doing. there's a lot of talk in our last hearing about where's the innovation in higher education. and in thinking about that, it occurs to me that innovation for its own sake is not what we're after. as the chairman said, the goal of education is to improve student performance. increase retention and graduation rates. do it in a way that reduces or maintains costs and encourages efficiency that benefits taxpayers and students. so two things come to mind about this approach. and i'll be looking for. you would think we have the perfect environment to encourage innovation and higher education, unlike many other countries in the world. in america, we think the american way is to have a marketplace, an entrepreneurial spirit, we do
