johnson hears -- >> rose: so it's kennedy and connolly. >> connolly alone. and johnson-- he knows connolly is coming up to washington. he doesn't know connolly is meeting with the president. he just knows he's going to be in washington. so he invites him to his house for dinner that night, and connolly, you know, comes and johnson meets him at the door and says something to the effect, "i guess you thought i wasn't interested in texas it." when connolly was talking to me about this, he said i said to-- i said to him,s what was johnson's demeanor?" and connolly said, "he was iritated." and i said to connolly, "irritated?" and he said something like, "hurt would be the word." here the preparations to for the trip to his own state were being made and johnson wasn't even consulted. the second thing that's happening, the bobby baker scandal is erupting in washington, and johnson's about to be implicated. >> rose: bob baker was his right-hand man in the senate when he was running for senate. >> so at the very moment that the motorcade is going through dallas, back

connolly: thank you. now as a member of congress, con strant principle of my own public career has been a deep suspicion of political legislation that employs arbitrary, across-the-board mechanisms that make for good talking points but terrible policy. such messaging bills make a mockery of the legislative process and unfortunately h.r. 4078 is just such a bill. to understand the absurdity of this bill, consider the proposal to ban any new regulations based on the nation's unemployment rate, actually with a typo in the bill, it's the employment rate, but for starters, there is little or no evidence correlating regulation to private sector hiring. however, there is considerable evidence showing that blocking important health and safety regulations will have a negative effect on all seniors, children, veterans, consumers, not to mention the private sector itself. as written, the legislation prohibblets any new regulatory action -- prohibits any new regulatory actions until the employment rate falls to 6%. m

connolly: may i inquire how much time is remaining? the chair: you have two and a half minutes remaining. mr. connolly: i yield two minutes to the distinguished ranking member of the government and oversight committee, mr. cummings of maryland. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cummings: i support the amendment offer by mr. connolly. the congressional waiver provision in this bill is a farce. it requires the president to ask congress' permission to issue a regulation and then wait for both houses of congress to approve the waiver. give me a break. that could take months in the best case but the more likely scenario is it would never happen at all, and everybody knows that. by adopting this antidepressant, we can ensure the president can truly issue regulations when needed. the waiver provision will be changed so that if congress doesn't act within seven days on a waiver, the quest submitted to it by the president, the waiver would be granted. let me be clear. under this amendment congress would still have the opportunity to o

according to some reports, connolly's a rice --condoll eezza rice has emerged. >> she has repeatedly said she's not interested in the job, but that has not stopped speculation. rice is the latest name to surface to the top of the vice- presidential short list. the chatter trend among political circles from twitter to inside the beltway where we sat down with conservative analysts. >> she gave a very good speech. and that is it just hype? >> it is really not a very plausible kind of suggestion for a variety of reasons. her role in the bush administration. >> or is there hope? >> incredible choice. >> the senator praise rise in an interview with our sister station, but wait -- he is also rumored as a potential pick. >> it is a great honor to be mentioned. >> also mentioned, florida's senator marco rubio. >> is this a fund-raising audition for you? >> i am just here to help. >> wisconsin congressman paul ryan is also keeping mum. >> everybody asks me the question. it is not in the campaign interest to comment on it. >> what about a wild card? >> obviously, in 2008, we had the sarah pali

the fact that john connolly was his first choice? >> um-hmm. >> what do you remember? >> first of all, it's all in the air. a lot of the conversation, he picked president ford because whoa would want him as president? thafts a common thing at the time. i remember radino liked gerald ford. that was sort of the common wisdom of the time that there was a political move on the part. and that would prevent the -- our process from moving forward because we'd never move forward with the idea that jerry ford would be president. >> did the chairman like the final report of his committee? >> um-hmm. um-hmm. i think, again, i think he was greatly relieved that this was over. that he felt he fulfilled his obligation. i think he felt that. and i think he felt honored by the whole process. and i think, you know, that he was on norred to do it. but he thought he gave his best. >> do you think that his relationship with tip o'neil and speaker of the house and others, did it change as a result of this process? did they have more respect for him afterwards? >> oh, yeah. he had a very wo

. >> michael connolly said, anything to add to that? is this the right time in the valley? is there a bubble? >> i would like to speak about the clean technology sector. there was a little bit of a bubble that emerged in 2005, 2006, 2007 time frame. what has happened since then is you see the landscape changed. there have been a lot of companies and vc's, founders, that are focused on very few investments in companies but are in it for the long run. the time and invested it takes to build a clean tech company. the difference with clean tech, there might be large facilities required, investment to build your first plant, for instance. we are seeing a change in the landscape. one thing i want to add, too, for clean tech, there are organizations like the clean tech opened that foster innovation and identify and help on to produce with that system, present their idea, put together their business plan, attract the mentors and advisers to help them build their technology. the incubators are contributing to a maturing clean tech and biotech sector -- sector. >> just a short commen

there was a big battle, for example, the republicans didn't want ward connolly's initiative on the ballot because that would bring out the left to attack it and forth. so it is politics. d heerider estis of the aclu, a 501(c)(3), and the naacp, a 501(c)(3). and it was then that i realized this whole shadow political universe carries on the elontical debate between nsti hit an that's your basic, if you're a conservative, this is a very ugly, sleazy interference with, you know, creativity, actually creating jobs as crtors and lining the pockets of your favorite causes. but this iswhere politics takes place. there are 553 -- don't remember all these figures -- 553 anti-free market, environmental the are gazatisat amrpio capitalism. that's, they cause global warming. and forget whether global warming is something that we need to be concerned about at the moment. there is also a huge controv buo,seanioherit'san ma, aortions did it, and the solution is massive government control of your life. e t pele wpo ade hoouit n estl these 501(c)(3)s. brought up cap and trade. what is cap and trade? well,

we just had somebody win the election cycle, gerry connolly, because of gun-control. he said we should not have guns in schools. he won because of that. the old, and acquitted mentality of this world up here in d.c. is false. the vast majority of american people support specific things. you cannot say you one more gun control -- what does that even mean? do you want assault weapons and military weapons to be sold to the public without a background check? even 9% of gun owners understand and that is insane. it is finally putting the missing pieces in place. we should have public outrage, and it has to be focused at your representatives. they are the ones that have bills at their fingertips. visiting the keep -- pretty campaign is the first up in the process. if you agree that we are better than this, check us out on facebook and start talking about it. >> colin goddard, thank you for being with us. a survivor of the virginia tech massacre. he was shot four times. 32 people were killed. james holmes, a suspected shooter behind the colorado shooting, may face the death p

connolly, for five minutes. mr. connolly: thank you, madam speaker. this month as america's families and businesses anxiously await congress' action on the expiration of any number of tax cuts, i thought it would be a good idea to ask ourselves again that question, what would ronald reagan do? let's query the gipper. after all, for the past three years all we have heard from republicans is the claim that president obama taxes too much. and when the tea party started its lobbying efforts in 2009, their name actually, tea, was an acronym standing for taxed enough already. just like the republican party, the tea party expressed an furor about what they thought was happening in taxes. while blind conjecture and pithy slogans are useful in getting attention, they ultimately fail unless they are backed by facts. thankfully the nonpartisan congressional budget office, came outle with a comparison of the average federal tax rates paid by american families over the past 31 years. i'm sure republicans in the tea party were all as surprised as many of us to lear

connolly, for five minutes. mr. connolly: thank you, mr. speaker. boy, my friend from virginia could not be more wrong. what exactly are the house republicans trying to accomplish with today's 32nd repeal vote of health care? one of the first votes republicans brought to the floor when they became the majority in january of 2011 was to repeal the health care insurance reform in its entirety. that bill passed out of the house on a virtual party-line vote, so you think republicans would move on to the real challenges facing our economy. like unemployment and the expiration of individual and business tax cuts. in the face of the supreme court ruling declaring health insurance protections in the affordable care act constitutional, house republicans are not repealing that earlier vote but instead setting up to repeat it. they have become so ideologically immovable that they can think of no more constructive solution than to simply replay this political theater. 56% of americans say it's time to move on. to the true pressing challenges facing our nation.

captain dave baits, laura gladding and john connolly are all here. it's been a pleasure working with all of you in a past several months, and i'm looking forward to what our future has in store. so thank you guys for being here. i'm also thrilled to be here today in our nation's capital. this room and this town live at the absolute intersection of policy, business, media and the public interest. so i wanted to be here to discuss my view of the state of the city there and u.s -- of the industry and us airways vision for the future. now, the level of media interest focused on our business continues to surprise me from time to time based on the size, certainly the revenue generated by our business, we seem to generate, to garner a disproportionate share of coverage. although if you think about how many people and communities we impact, perhaps it's not that surprising. the airline business is one of the most dynamic and challenging industries in the world. it's one of the most difficult to navigate given that so many pieces of our business are out of ou
