cassidy: sure. mr. farr: explain to me what is broken that needs $11 billion more right now, with the $150 billion that you've already been given or will be given. mr. cassidy: this is what is broken. this is our coast line which is melting away. this is what increases our risk. we've lost the land mass equal to rhode island in louisiana. now, the money that is received, our share, will go to this but it is not adequate to rebuild this coast line. and the other thing which is broken -- mr. farr: you've lost the coast line why? mr. cassidy: because we channeled the mississippi to create navigational services for the rest of the inland nation. as you channel that mississippi, the wetlands lost the nourishing settlement that comes to them. mr. farr: and those are the states that have also in-state waters onshore and offshore drilling? mr. cassidy: yes, absolutely. mr. farr: which are very lucrative revenues for the state? mr. cassidy: all i do is ask for a same deal that every other state has. no. every ot

cassidy. i'm pleased to say that my colleagues, mr. cassidy and mr. richmond and i have worked to address this important issue in an ongoing, bipartisan way. the national flood insurance program was created in 1968 after record flooding led the private sector to abonn done the flood insurance market and stop writing flood policies. the program is a key component of the federal government's efforts to minimize the damage and financial impact of floods. it is the only source of insurance against flood damage for most residents and provides much needed coverage for 5.5 million homeowners and their families. this is why i worked across the aisle with my colleagues, representative judy biggert, to re-authorize this program. before this re-authorization, the flood insurance program was lagued by repeated lapses in authority placing many local communities at risk. fema was not able to write new policies, renew expiring policies or increase coverage limits, causing great uncertainty for millions of homeowners who depend on the program's existence. the biggert

jim brought up john cassidy from the new yorker. john said something very interesting which is key to the excuse making. he said that our problems may be beyond anybody. i think what we're seeing is narrative from the media, these are bigger problems and obama is trying and let's give him credit. he is not being held accountable. >> rush limbaugh has the theory he expressed he calls it the limbaugh theorem. he is campaigning constantly and never connected with the scandals and other things that are going wrong in washington and media are all out covering his nonstop campaign. >> jon: next on news watch the nsa leaker hits the media. >> hero or traitor? the man who leaked details of the nsa snooping operation made more news and when it comes to press relations, what do these two politicians have in common? that is next on news watch. all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so you can spend less time doing paperwork. and more time doing paperwork. ink from cha

>> well, john cassidy of the new yorker, for example, pointed out the statement the g-8 issued -- conjunction with putin of russia was very bland and -- when it came to syria "the new york times" talked about the president's base, said he was a bad diplomat on the front page. it was tough week. it was capped by the bad news -- speech in berlin, last week versus -- the five years ago and -- he was -- saw the difference. >> yeah. i think we have that represident-elected in a graphic. 2008 candidate obama, yeah, 2008 the candidate obama, filled up that space. hundreds of thousands of people. this time not so many. the white house said this was an invited group. >> i know. not an enthusiastic one. that was the problem. this -- this appearance, these speeches, actually absolutely bombed. i mean, yes, the -- german press was kinder than others but -- nobody liked the british press was savaged. i think the charm is just -- has just worn off and the nsa scandal has so enraged europeans. it is okay. it is all right to be listening in on them. but not americans. i think that's offended a lot of people.

john cassidy was pro-snowden and jeffrey toobin was against him.entlemen, enguard. >> i wasn't making a personal argument, obviously i don't know edward snowden from adam, but i think the contribution is made in revealing something that the public deserves to know in terms of what the nsa is doing. we all know the nsa is a spy agency, but the sacale of this. the fact that they could get everybody's phone records on a routine basis for seven years without anybody knowing it. i think putting that out into the open was a public service and that's why i think to some extent he was a hero. obviously he took a big risk doing it. we don't know what's going to happen to him but he could well end up serving decades in jail for what he's done. i don't think we can dismiss his motives lightly. >> jeff. >> first of all, it's a crime what he did, but it's illegal. i guess it's the former prosecutor in me that's offended by that for starters. but is this a legitimate act of civil disobedience, and i think not. there are channels to protest what the nsa does, esp

cassidy: thank you. briefly, the bigger waters act was passed in order to make the flood insurance program both actuarial sound and functionally sound. and we hope it is on the track to make it actuarialy sound. but it is not functionally sound. so this attempts to address this. what this bill would do is, ection 207, and only 207, is would -- it would not allow it to be implemented for one year. after that it would begin to be implemented. the c.b.o. has scored this as zero. it has no impact upon the federal treasury. the reason to do this bill is if teem does not yet have the methodology by which to implement this program. indeed, there's a g.a.o. report from 2008 which shows that fema's rates setting process warrants attention. as it turns out they have enough data since 2008. so their over 0-year methodology does not apply and families are being terribly affected. so there's one family in louisiana which has never flooded, and yet has a $6 -- 6,000% increase in their premium. clearly this has grave i

cassidy: i associate myself with the comment moifs colleagues. i think there's concern about religious freedom in the united states. but i want to draw the attention of those here to pastor david zaradini. he is incarcerated in iran for eight years for crimes, as they define it, that happened 13 years ago. s that question of religious freedom that involves an american citizen who happens now to be abroad. the professor is 33 years old, born in iran, converted from islam to christianity. here, that would not be a big deal because we have religious freedom. theoretically so does iran. in his early 20's, it was threel do system of at some point he moved to the united states, married his wife who i gather is also originally, her family, from iran. they have two children and live in idaho he went to iran to work in a non seq.tarian orphanage. he was arrested by the state police, he was incarcerated at first they said for activities against the state, now they're attributing it to house churches around the year 2000, but he's incarcerated imprisoned an

cassidy is bank analyst at capital markets and he joins us this morning. >> good morning, simon. >> tryard here. let's talk about what is happening first of all to the assets that the banks have. the banks have hundreds of billions of dollars of treasuries and mortgage-backed securities that they are required to hold by the regulators as part of the capital base available for sale, i believe is the terminology. as we have seen the very assets fall in value to, what extent has that capital base for the big banks been eroded in your view? >> right now sh, the unrealized gains have come down about 50% since the beginning of this qua quarter. when you look at the federal reserve data, we have seen the unrealized gains fall to about $16 billion for the industry. and now that is before this real run-up in the rates, and so when we see the data friday and next friday, we expect the gains to come down, but some banks will have unrealized losses which will have a small negative effect on their capital base. >> okay. and unrealized net gain is the way that you measure this change in the stockpile

amendment because the cassidy amendment will increase the deficit by $15 billion over 30 years, and of course the rules of the house don't allow us to engage in additional spending without an offset. there is no offset. but the chair did make -- waived all points of order so the rules of the house don't apply to this additional $15 billion of deficit spending. but now my understanding is that they want to substitute a different amendment which instead of $15 billion of additional deficit over 30 ars, would only create new -- of k. 970 of new deficit. i would like to understand why we are bothering to do this. i think over the span of 30 years increasing the deficit by $14,999 k. 999 k. 970 versus $15 billion which is easier to say because it has a lot of zeros, what's the rationale? why would we do this? why do we need u.c. for this? i'm curious, could the gentleman respond? mr. sessions: if the gentleman would yield under his reservation. adoption of this modification, i would say to him that what is contained in the report is going to be accurate. what was printed the other day as
