becker. just to name the rather framework of questions we may ask, i think the general public would be amazed to learn that you discuss mr. dunbar in your testimony and you may have eluded that the scenario of focusing on a man-made event by engaging in a realtime exercises involving a natural disaster will occur. perhaps some of you who have been in the emergency management or also at the table mr. maxwell or others can make us understand how after decades of the fema coming decades beyond that of natural disaster, and only after 9/11 did it occur to anybody the natural disasters were far from a realtime exercise? why did this not occur before? we think this will help us to understand whether or not any changes needed since we certainly don't think that fema or the federal government lacks the ability to do some national level exercise they say you may have authority to do such an exercise like a tornado or other hazards why in your judgment are we seven years after 9/11? if this is in our f

few are the elected republicans left who do not self-identify as birthers or deathers or tp-ers or beckerspalin endorsing a comedian who calls the president a racist. a new category still small. freudian slippers. our third story in the countdown, the phrase was coined when prejudice against black people was still the law of the land, in 1909, in 1910, when whites here and other countries sought somebody, anybody, to take back the heavyweight boxing title from the african-american jack johnson. the phrase was the great white hope. a 1969 play and movie base and johnson's life was even titled that. there is no ambiguity about what this meant. the man, the bigots of 1910, finally found retired champ james j. jefferies said i'm going into this fight for the sole purpose of proving a white man is get better than a negro. funny a congresswoman should sundayly use the phrase seven months into the first term of an african-american president and then play dumb afterwards. freudian slip? >> -- to find the great white hope, and i suggest to any of you that are concerned about that, there are great y

finally, jo becker. welcome mr. becker. >> thank you very much. thank you for holding this hearing on this important matter and i appreciate you inviting your participation. there has been a lot of discussion about the certainty of the next catastrophic event. i thought it might be helpful to quantify some of the human need that would result that we have imagined could happen. not even counting man-made events, just within the earthquake and hurricane scenarios, we know of scenarios that would be four times the size of katrina and possibly larger. that is based on the human need the earthquake and hurricane scenarios were present us. as a country, we are not ready for scales of the size of an event. we have had a lot of conversation this afternoon about the types of issues and i would like to confine my comments to what the rest of the panel has not discussed and that would be to go back to the housing and human service side. we are the red cross. but we shelter people. we are discussing the long-range recovery buhousing issues. there has been a l

it seems like that's why nothing in washington is getting done because all they do is fight and becker and can't agree on anything. i am glad to be independent because i don't agree with some of the things republicans are doing. if they want to be moral -- if they want to be morally valuable they ought to be moral and said of upholding the morals they want to impose. guest: no matter what your political situation, yesterday's disclosures, both of the cia report and that there is a investigation ongoing will prompt even more fighting. also very heated rhetoric from people on all elements of the political spectrum. conservatives may have it. when they raise the question of whether we should be read investigating -- whether we should reinvestigate in these things. eric holder decided to go the other way but he is trying to keep a tight focus on what is being looked at today. host: let's go to the timeline a shoe for the special prosecutor. what is this time line to look at the evidence, at the 92 videotapes have been destroyed, look at the documents and come up with some sort of decision?

they don't know there are different historical strengths and the modern codes are becker said they don'teally possess the information to make sound evacuation decisions and as a result they leave and i think if we could get to a place people understand what they have and what it can do how they can be safe they could stay put, shelter and please, stay off the roads and leave them available to the responders and others that need to be there and need to be mobile post storm and they can become, they can rebuild themselves from the definition of catastrophe and we have received thousands calls when almost it is too late. people call on a member who during is about people from maryland calling singing and on and the flood zone? so we have a great amount of work to do with respect to bridging the gaps and equipping people with information about first and foremost. >> with the amount they are having to pay for homeowners insurance now you are in a coastal leary had you would think people would be asking about those things when they buy a house. >> absolutely, senator. one of the things very pr
