it shows the collegiality that we can have going forward hopefully. >> great day. even though the debt deal will likely pass the senate, the u.s. economy may be headed for another recession. manufacturing down and the country's gdp is growing slower than expected. once again, stu varney is here with the good news. >> no, it sounds great to see you to break this down. a lot of people had said that looming in the background of this whole debt deal crisis was the fact that the economy still stinks. >> look, we just had two nasty shocks to the economic system. as you point out, gdp, the economy is barely growing. then along comes manufacturing. barely growing. supposed to be robust. not happening. and you've got another shock coming on friday with this jobs report where we're going to see the unemployment rate well above 9% all over again. what i'm saying is a recession is now on the tanl. it's on the horizon. it's on the radar screen. it's looming out there in the future. it could happen. >> sure. >> and the -- look, the problem for me is what policy options do the ob

for almost three years this has been a collegial and bipartisan effort to serve our country. here's some quick background on our effort. the commission was established by congress in the national defense authorization act in 2008. we're an independent bipartisan body with eight appointed commissioners plus supporting staff. we've conducted 25 public hearings, participated in more than 1,000 meetings and briefings had offices in kabul and baghdad, and issued two interim and five special reports to congress. i'll mention a few highlights and then turn the lectern over to congressman shays for comments on their significance and our recommendations. some key points: total spending on contracts and grants in iraq and afghanistan from fiscal years 2002 projected to the end of this fiscal year, 2011, amounts to $206 billion. we estimate that 31 to $60 billion of that total has been or is being lost to waste and fraud. we estimate that waste amounts to 10 to 20% of total contract and grant spending and that fraud runs between 5 and 9% of the total. we base these ranges on hearing tes

they met that has of siloed ties and polarized not only the public but actually our ability to be collegial and achieve a negotiated a reasonable settlement to the common good. what happens whether it is a religious extremist or political ideologue or demagogue or right-wing funding organization who doesn't want, who doesn't believe in that procedure. if it is essential and fundamental to the constitution and the creation of the just and field law and it is not shared by one of the parties, how can you lead? >> i think the answer to the question is do you get the politics that we had in early april, 2011? and we have been watching for the last two years how that sort of politics unfolds. so why don't really need to illustrate it anymore than we see looking at our newspaper. but i feel one has to ask the question what is the alternative. and my own feeling which many other people have observed is that barack obama is played chess and those of us are playing checkers and he has from the very beginning envisioned a presidency of eight years as an opportunity using his image to lower the temper

sharing and profit sharing, what are your thoughts on some kind of revenue-sharing structure at the collegiate level given the fact that these players are making millions of dollars and receiving relatively nothing in return? >> we have had the discussion many times in our office, and as relates to our negotiations, one of the things that the n.c.a.a. is pushing for in conjunction with the commissioner is that they want to extend the age limit. they want to make sure the players stay in college before they are allowed to come in the nba. in 2005 when we pretty much worked out our agreement with the exception of the pending issue about age, in order to bring closure, i agreed to give up one year. a kid could not directly come from high school, but had to spend at least one year in a junior college or whatever. from my perspective, your right. there is a lot of money being generated for these colleges by these kids. and in our case, basketball, it is something like 17% of the kids to go to college at a division i school for basketball scholarships ever graduate. that is something we have to visi

for almost three years, this has been a collegial and bipartisan effort to serve our country. here it is some quick background on that effort. the commission was established by congress in the national defense authorization act of 2008. we are independent, bipartisan body with eight. -- ate up with the commissioners and supporting staff. we participated in more than 1000 meetings and briefings, maintained field offices in kabul and baghdad, it made 20 trips into theater and other destinations, and issued a 205 special reports to congress. i will mention a few highlights and turn it over to congress man shays. total spending on contracts and grants in iraq and afghanistan from fiscal years 2002 projected to the end of this fiscal year amounts to $2 billion. 31--- $200 billion to $31-60 billion of that total is being lost to waste and fraud. waste amounts to a total of 20% of contracts and grants bennet -- grants spending. we base these ranges on hearing testimony, our own commission research, a non-public government documents on fraud research that were performed in theater. we

. >> on that collegial note, thank you all for being good sports today. thank the panel. thank you for coming. [applause] >> we're going to have, i suggest you hold your seats for just a moment. we're going it have come up and repeat the foregoing. like in football, i call an audible. as professor abe programs give his -- abrams, gives his critique. we'll get out at 3:45. as floyd makes his comments and observations perhaps they could be interactive. i don't get a lot of time with floyd even though he is on my board. he has a brilliant mind. everybody knows his career, we'll hear more about that from roy eastburg. if there are no objections can we do it that way. >> sure. >> unfortunately i have a jury waiting. the guy is in sell block. >> let's go ahead and adjourn the panel and get floyd up here after the introduction from mr. roy eastburg, who is like me, a graduate and lawyer at the law firm of davis, wright, tremendous main. roy will come up and do a quick introduction, if members of the panel need to exit, that is absolutely fine. those who can stay, please do. and

should not be denied that option for self-defense only because he secant education or work in the collegiate and dictation. this afternoon is exciting for supporters for several reasons. first all spent three years since we last met in washing in the the and we've made a lot of progress in that time. over the last years the hard work of scc members has doubled the number of colleges that allowed concealed carry on campus. due to a lawsuit by organization in conjunction with several friends almost all college in the colorado's now allow effective self-defense. the status of the remaining schools will be settled in the next month or two by the colorado's current quarter. these advances in colorado's increase the number of u.s. college campuses throughout the day kerry 271 in colorado, utah and virginia. scc litigation has also been successful elsewhere. in texas we establish federal precedent that our trademark empty holster protest is a legal exercise of free speech and we prevent cary county college from being the only college in the country to prohibit that. nor have the success of students

we have two boys that are very active and i have one son that will compete at the collegiate level as well. the sport i am in, wrestling, if your opponent steps on the map, you can pick him up and from him down and do it again until you win. it does not get more basic than that. i have always love to compete. americans love to compete. there is a great book. read arthrex book called -- read arthur brooks book called "the battle." he references the people that started this great place. the left and they started with nothing because they wanted to go out to pursue this golden dream. >> thank you. >> i'm wondering what we can do to get fellow college students interested in politics and economics. >> the first paycheck, that is when they get very interested. i always tell young people that when you talk about -- in talking about high school, some have summer jobs. you get your paycheck and this is what you turned up here, and down here is what government lets you keep. and the journey across the check is where government troops you off. it is my job as a conservative member of congress to
