bill is the chief ems in hamilton county.eing, and i'm mostly concerned about injuries. >> i'm chief of emergency, but so far we've had about 24 injuries in hamilton county. we don't think any of those are life threatening. we don't have any reports of fatalities, but we have not made access to all the damaged area. a lot of trees down, a lot of roads are blocked, we have numerous crews, fire, ems, police, rescue, the power service, others with chain saws accessing the areas, but we have not reached all of the homes. we feel like we have so far about between 40 and 50 homes with significant damage that we know about. you mentioned the shorttail springs area. there were 30 homes along that road alone with significant damage. and we think that as we get into other areas that we will have many other homes with significant damage. we've had numerous homes that have collapsed with cave-ins, and we've had to get the families out and that's where some of the injuries have come from. >> bill, how long ago did the storms blow through?

bill of rights. but if you read the early writings of hamilton and jefferson and adams and madison, many times they say, it's because of the magna carta that we're doing this. and remember, these people who were breaking away from england, they viewed themselves as englishmen and we said we don't want to break away from england, we are englishmen and we are entitled to the same rights of all englishmen and that includes the rights to the magna carta, and ultimately the parliament and the king said you are not entitled to the magna carta rights, you're different. that's what really led to the breakaway, the rights they thought they had in the engishmen living in the colonies were not ones they wanted to give to people living in the colonies. it was the magna carta principles that made people feel they deserved certain rights and not having them, they should break away. >> you come from baltimore, did you ever come down here as a field trip? >> i did. >> do you think kids will see it and get an impression from it? >> i was brought here like everyone from the eighth grade is brought here in march or april

hamilton, tom tasselmyer. >> if you're driving through luther bill coming you may want to avoid parts of east seminary avenue as the crews are working to repair a water main break. it happened just before noon leaving a few homes and a gated community without water off of zero camden drive. >> rob roblin joins us live up from timonium with an update. >> you can see up on seminary behind me is closed all the way down. the break happened around 10:00 this morning on seminary avenue in timonium. a 12-inch iron pipe split down the middle causing homes in this gated community and 15 other houses in the area to lose water. >> i turned the water on in the sink and the water pressure was so low that i knew there was a problem. we're having 10 people over for dinner and i need water. >> it 12-inch water main split longways causing us to take out a section and replace it. >> the workers have to cut that piece of pipe out and replace it, which can be time-consuming. >> held but -- how big is the section? >> about fenty. >> city to get another section in there? i'm guessing this takes time. >> if it were just a circular

hamilton with the turnaround and use his influence to draw. he badly needed this bill to select the potomac to the nation's capital. this is referred to as the first great compromise, the first of three before the civil war. this kept the peace and the country together, so what would have been different? well, number one, aside from the bill of rights munro's biggest objection to the constitution was the power of the executive. he had gone to war and rest his life, and he was not about to vote for anyone to come on under a different name. very concerned about the power of the presidency. he would not have carried the banner away madison had off and probably would have voted differently on the city of question. my belief that the people who believed that the president did not have the power to remove insubordinate, they would have carried the day and there would have upset the delicate balance of power. what can you do with the president who is beholden to back like everyone, he could not have a margin as the focal point of opposition when madison did. you see, madison

hamilton would turn over and use his influence, his leverage with the northern states who badly needed this bill to select the potomac site for the nation's capital. this is referred to as the first great compromise, the first of three before the civil war. and this kept the piece and this kept the country together. so what would have been different than monroe instead of madison. number 1 aside from the bill of rights monroe's biggest part of the constitution was the power executive. he risked his life he wasn't about to vote for a new one to come out under a different mind. he was concerned of the power of the presidency. he would not have carried the banner the way madison had. indeed, he probably would have voted differently on the executive question, the people who believed that the president didn't have the power to remove the subordinates i think they would have carried the day and i think they would have upset that delegate balance of power and i think the country would have crashed on the tarmac. what would you do to the president who was beholden to every employee in the executive bran

which is so threatening, which you know, lee hamilton and tom kean and the 9/11 commission say you've just got to get it done and it's got to be that original bill. like that original bill, it's got to critical infrastructure in it. they say that specifically. all kinds of, you know, input from people. i just don't see that money is a problem. >> host: have you looked at how other countries are managing their cybersecurity? >> guest: i haven't. i should have but i haven't heard i've just been so wrapped up in getting this done. you know, europe is very different. china is very different. brazil is very different. i'm not sure that it would've been useful. i think it will be useful for me to do that, but what i want to do is get a bill which has been vetted so many times by so many people put in front of so many organizations, technological community, the private sector community. i've given a lot of speeches to them, except the criticism, made changes. the staff out of work with on intelligence and commerce have done the same thing. and they have made changes. i mean, if you would want to get something done, don't insist on having it done exactl

and our bipartisan small business enhand hamilton act was the first amendment filed to this bill and still hold out hope we'll find a way to include it in the bill. we ought to pass it immediately. we would see immediately he immediate results if we did so. let me share a couple of examples of why i think this is so important. and they're colorado-centric. i know the presiding officer makes a point to talk about his home state on an ongoing basis. let me talk about two small business owners in colorado who made a difference with the help of credit unions. stacey hammond owns the first street saloon -- i should say salon. i'd better get that straight, mr. president. first street salon. and lisa herman owns happy cakes bake shop in highland square. they were turned away from their banks. and in the breach, credit unions arrived and they lent to these two small business women. and they were able to grow their businesses and hire their fellow coloradans to help them. they didn't need a billion-dollar i.p.o. they needed a small bridge loan. and we could be making a huge difference in many

bill of rights, 10th amendment states anything not given to the federal government specifically goes to the states or to the people and the federalist papers written by madison and john j and alexander hamilton and specifically in number 45, it goes very deeply into the fact the federal government is supposed to be very small, out of the way, less involved than the states. i mean, thomas jefferson himself has gone on-- went on the record many times saying the worst thing that could happen to our country is the government taking away, i'm paraphrasing, from people who work hard under the pretense of taking care of everyone. >> clayton: right, and income tax until the civil war. and she went on and further elaborated on it, i'll read it, she says the legislation will lead to healthier lives more liberty to pursue hopes and dreams and happiness for the american people this is the american proposal that honors the tradition of our country this idea of healthier lives she pins on the founding fathers. >> i think that's a corruption of the kind of things they stood for. if you look at what the founding fathers were willing to do for freedom. they all risked their lives, they would have been killed
