with the investigation of cmp? >> they are not in committee records at this time. we've made no formal request for that. >> thank you, mr. chair. >> with that, i'll recognize the gentleman from texas. >> thank you, mr. chairman. it seems to me this hearing is not whether there is a crime that has been committed or not. that is i think a decision for the department of justice to determine later. even though my friend from georgia acted as a defense lawyer defending someone that has been charged in his entire questioning, the issue is whether or not taxpayers should fund planned parenthood. that is the issue before this committee today. i think the name is sort of interesting. planned parenthood. maybe it should be planned non-parenthood. as opposed to planned parenthood. but that is just my personal opinion. let me talk about women in all of this. i'm going to ask the ladies from the far left to the far right of the table and maybe ms. smith in the middle some questions. ms. ohden, just your opinion, is there any re

cmp has stated they released it on line weeks ago. so the point is i would only hope that my friends on the minority would actually look at that. >> mr. chairman, i believe those are the edited versions. >> there is two things. there are short videos that are heavily edited. a and what the cmp calls full footed videos which have also been edited. this is in the forensic analysis report that was submitted to the committee. so nobody that we know of has seen the actual full footage videos. there is short version. >> that's my point of parliamentary inquiry. whether or not the majority on this committee is in possession of the full unedited videos what are at issue in this hearing. >> the answer is no, that we are not. but i would suggest to you that we're in possession of another of it to indicate that living human viable babies are being murdered at planned parenthood, and their body parts are being harvested. >> point of parliamentary inquiry, mr. chairman? point of parliamentary inquiry? >> one more. >> has the majority received vide

i think cmp should be required to release the full footage. the edited versions would not have evidenceary value, precisely for the reason you stated, because words are taken out of context and placed over each other out of time, the way sometimes world leaders are made to be singing pop songs. it's that kind of technique that's used on the internet quite often. and it's used here on these videos. and it's just as unreliable. >> professor smith, you talked about that research panel that was -- that determined the ethics of fetal tissue donation, that 21 people were appointed to this commission and supported the idea of fetal research. can you speak about some of the safeguards the commission and lawmakers put in place to ensure no wrongdoing? and do you believe these safeguards are working? >> yes, i do, as far as i can tell. the safeguards appear to be working. the fetal tissue is not allowed to be sold. women are consented to the abortion separately from the consent to donate tissue, so the incentives for the main actors in these situations

could mean many things. >> cmp was started as a 501-c3 charitable trust.aleiden also founded a company called biomax procurement services and enlisted people to represent biomax. >> these are people, whoever you have posing as buyers, who clearly have in-depth medical understanding and education, seems like. >> the center for medical progress shows they have intelligent, creative, adaptable people to do this work. there was a lot of really intensive training and preparation that went into preparing them to actually go undercover. >> you have to be able to talk like them. you have to know the information sometimes better than they do. they had to be very well versed in medical technology, medical terminology, the medical procedures, anatomy and so forth. >> how did you all come up with the 21st century technology to walk into these places, to be able to record the conversations in a way you felt was reliable? >> it's as simple as a google search and a credit card. the equipment was high-quality law enforcement type equipment. it's not going to fail at the c

cmp have stated they released it online weeks ago. the point is i would only hope that my friends on the minority would ask a look at them. >> i believe those are the edited version of these videos. >> there are two videos that are heavily edited and with the cmp has called full footage videos which they themselves have also been edited. this is in the forensic analysis report that was submitted to the committee. seeny that we know of has the actual full footage videos. >> that is my point. is in facty imposition of the full unedited videos that are at issue in this hearing? >> the issue is no, we are not. suggest if we are in possession of enough of it to indicate that living human being murderedre at planned parenthood and the body parts are being harvested -- >> pointed parliamentary inquiry. has the majority received videos from this organization? >> we have looked at the ones available to everyone else online. we've not received anything directly from the organization. >> point of inquiry. has the majority communicated with this

in the cmp videos there are reported incidences of babies born intact and potentially alive after an induced abortion. because he or she had a heartbeat and the fetal brain was removed by taking scissors and cutting the face open to extract the brain. this barbaric practice, if true and if the child was, in fact, alive reveals -- rivals any of the documented abuses of human persons and medical research throughout history. but it goes beyond any individual instance. planned parenthood's lust for money from fetal tissue procurement which can, in some instances, equal or even exceed the cost they charge for the abortion itself, has apparently caused planned parenthood to change all relevant aspects of the abortion procedure itself. as a planned parenthood abortion physician explained, she would meet with tissue procurement people before the day's schedule of abortions and find out what tissue they wanted. and then she would target those particular abortions which might yield the fetal tissue the researchers wanted to purchase. in so doing, she made clear that she would change the aborti

there is now sufficient evidence both from cmp and otherwise that are not taking legal protections seriously, and the general law is to blunt an instrument to provide sufficient legal protection when abortionists have financial harvest intact fetuses for their tissue. this law needs to ensure that infants are not born then killed, but that they receive appropriate care and life, just like everyone else. chairman: thank you. the smith. -- miss smith. smith: i am an associate researcher in law at yale law school where i direct a program for justice. i am testifying today in my own capacity and do not purport to represent you law school, of course. i will make a few points -- yeah law school, of course. ale law school, of course. i will make a few points, and i am open for questions. first of all, this attack is part of a long campaign to discredit planned parenthood and other abortion providers. it is indeed an attack on the right to abortion. that planned parenthood has been a target of many of these types of attacks. just since 2000, they have been the target of nine similar smear campaigns

we have spoken with lexi and she's supportive of cmp's investigative journalism work exposing planned you again. did anyone reach out for permission to use walter's picture in the anti-abortion video? >> not directly, no. he pulled it from another article, interview i had done previously last year for the daily mail. >> and so no one from their organization reached out an said we'll be using this image in an anti-abortion video aimed at defunding planned parenthood or putting planned parenthood in a false light? >> not before it was released, no. >> so we also reached out to the carly fiorina campaign and they responded that, quote, we have no comment. we weren't involved in the production of these videos. obviously, you've probably heard from the political campaign and fiorina's fiery impassioned talk during the debate of a few weeks ago. that used this illustration and referenced the video and that image. what do you want people to know about walter ian also about your own views about being pro-life? >> i just believe that every child should have a chance, a chance to be alive, to m

to the bond market where rick santelli is tracking the action at the cmp.t's the bond plarkt up to now? >> it's all about europe. my line is that mario draggi hit the switch for the ham officer wheel and all the markets moved in predictable fashion when you put qe in a longer time frame. the real issue can't what its short term imp kapgss is it's its backside of that. look at a two day chart of boone deals and i picked two day because it shows how much below yesterday's range we moved, when you look at our 10 year and 30 years you can see what a different setup it is. we still have stubborn rates all things considered and it's difficult for me to the to look at these stubborn rates especially 30s and think they are not leading the equity markets. if you look at foreign exchange two days of your rows said it all. the pivot on the trading floor, 110 is the area to pay attention to. mandy and the gang, back to you. >> let's take a look at gold prices that lower euro stronger dollar is not helping gold, currently down by 0.8 of a percent. china is a major gold
