lott was republican leader, daschle the democratic leader. we were taken from the east front of the capitol -- i'm sorry -- the west front of the capitol to a secure location in helicopters. the scene when i was taken to the west front of the capitol was eerie, to say the least. there were lots of people in black uniforms trying to create order out of confusion. without going into a lot of detail, we went to a location. the vice president was there and met with us and kept us informed as to what was going on with the president. we spent the day there, came back to the west front of the capitol where all members of congress gathered, and barbara mikulski, for lack of anyone having a better suggestion, she said we should sing "god bless america" and she got the song started. that was extremely memorable. so, mr. president, we're going to have this ceremony here in just a few minutes out front, and i will talk a little bit there. the four leaders have been asked to talk out there. we did have a moment of silence regarding the more than 3,000 who

senator lott, senator daschle. taken to the west side of the capitol, and it was an eerie situation. all kinds of people in black, very black uniforms, swat teams and others from the federal government, put us in helicopters and took us to a place, a secured facility. we during that day were constantly briefed by the vice president who had been in touch with the president on a moment-by-moment basis, and that was the determination made by the vice president, we should all come back to washington and we did. we came here without a lot of speeches prepared, unprepared, just here to show each other that we knew what was going on, what happened, not totally understanding, but something was very bad. where mull culls key -- are you? >> right here. >> she walked down and said, let's sing "god bless america." that was memorable. we did that. and that is what we did that night. now, i join with all in recognizing the losses, people .ere killed, maimed i recognize the firefighters, police officers, the ambulances, all the f

are we out of touch with reality to think that bob dole and tom daschle voices from the past could bringon? >> i don't know. i hope so. let's get ban ki-moon to come in and mediate, too. anything would help at this point because the republican party is just on the verge of a nervous breakdown. it just can't function. >> it is their caucus, no doubt, and the hard right and not giving boehner who he really wants to do and he is forced to take a lead in public that is against his will? >> well, it is against his will but ironically the kindest thing president obama could do for john boehner is to stand firm and say no and show the crazies the limits of their power. we may have to go through this ritual for a shutdown and the senate and saying you're out of your mind and the president and then maybe comes back to the house and they have learned something. >> is it different this time around with president obama because he is not funning for re-election? >> he can't move. >> it is obama care. it is his signature legislation and something he is proud of and forms a big part of his legacy and h

what former senators bob dole and tom daschle said in this op-ed in the "l.a. times" on monday. if the headlines would stop playing politics with hung the latest proposal is an pab face on progress fighting hunger. if congress let's this bill fall victims to the ms. guided and detrimental politics we face today, those with the challenge of hunger will are severe. bob dole, republican, and some republicans saying that's a scare tactic? >> reporter: and there are republicans who come from parts of the country where unemployment is highest, that are also concerned about the real world impact of something like this. the likely snare dwlcenario tha playous, the house has the stroevotes to pass this. a steep cut. trying to reduce funding for this program. not many places in the budget where they're able to try and take the knife to spending, and this is one on their minds for quite some time. on the senator side, controlled by democrats, they agree that there can be some changes, and some cuts to the program, but at a much lower level. so the likely scenario would be, should this pass

this is exactly the same approach taken in legislation offered by tom daschle a few years ago to allow salvage of beetle-killed timber in the black hills national forest. salvaging this timber would throw an economic lifeline to communities already devastated by this fire as local mills can be brought to full employment for the first time in many years. and would provide a new stream of revenue for the federal government as this salvageable timber is auctioned. be happy to yield. mr. hastings: i thank the gentleman for his offering this amendment. last year in my home state of washington, over 300,000 acres burned. and yet the forest service has yet to salvage anything and i daresay now that whatever value is of that salvaged timber has probably gone away. i think this amendment addresses that issue very, very well and i support the gentleman's amendment. mr. mcclintock: i thank the gentleman and reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from california reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from oregon rise? mr. defazio: rise in opposition to the amendment. the c

professors are significantly more to the left on the population ucla floated almost universally by wilt of daschle corporation but the population went 50/50 but universities are to the left but the stories are more interesting so the book does have close to back up by say as evidence but i do call out specific professors to name them by name hand in the way it was the first book of the time there are other books that not only experience is that in the classroom but direct quotations of dates and times and what they said i went ucla so water by tax dollars funding? it was an eye on -- opener for lot of folks. >> at this the brainwashing of students one of the problems plaguing america's youth with the the side of lot of activity with over powering bias by the student body. to find a viable solution we must now answer three crucial underlying questions why the university so biased why do the students take professors and face all of -- volume in what can we do to stop it? >> the first one is why they so biased in the first place? one reason is folks at the university level were largely infiltrated an

tom daschle and bob dole did an op-ed talking about not listen to hunger -- about not politicizing hunger. inspired by those collaborations, they should be our example. an issue that should be politicized. i am hoping that there will be enough republicans to stand with us to defeat this and that we can regroup and focus on how to we end hunger. host: jim mcgovern, democrat, massachusetts. in about 10 minutes, a hearing will start. this is going to be a benghazi hearing, the oversight and government reform committee. 30, ambassador 9: pickering and admiral mullen will be testifying. benghazi was just a little over a year ago when that happened. we will be live with this hearing at 9:30 on c-span 3. here on c-span 1, we will be joined by jeremy herb of "the hill." after this news update. >> c-span radio will join this hearing live after " washington journal." the number of people seeking unemployment benefits rose 15,000 last week. to a seasonally adjusted 309,00 0. the data was distorted by reporting problems in some state . the labor department says this level is only a little above the p

thereof shall be repealed by a subsequent statute such statute or any part thereof shall not be revised daschle not be revived if the repeal of such subsequent repealing statute. the fallacy that we are all operating under is the kevyn orr was appointed under public act 72 but public act 72 was repealed by public act for it. when we went to the ballot box and we voted to repeal public act for public act 72 did not spring back to life. the governor gave him a contract under 72 and grandfather tim and under public act 436. because there was no 72 there is no emergency manager for the fine city of detroit. [applause] secondly in their haste to take this draconian action against the city of detroit the governor gave kevyn orr a contract which expired on march 27. how many people in this audience know that midnight occurs at 12:00 a.m.? 12:00 a.m. was a wednesday morning. the new emergency manager -- did not take place until thursday morning. we were without an emergency manager for one full day at the time the new law took effect. therefore there should have been no grandfathering and of the 436 as

daschle will not let us enjoy it in that order.we started 11 years ago and was simply to celebrate the perks of adulthood. grow continues to grow and and government reaches further and further into our private lives, adults need to take a stand and say you may not like what we do but this is what we do. ,f you do not like it tolerated. we'll leave you alone if you leave us alone. we do that and so many areas of our lives that is politically correct, what we are saying and these incorrect areas is we want the same kind of acceptance that many people now enjoy today. that's the purpose of this party. hats off in cheers to you for being part of the most politically incorrect party. how incredibly amazing is it being theve colorado showcase for the war on guns nationally. for those who do not understand what goes on in this state, it has been one of the most remarkable. --. periods to see assault on our second rights. so many people my csa, what is the deal? it is risible unto you see what these are all about. -- it is reasonable until

two former senate majority leaders, republican and democrat, bob dole, tom daschle, have called this bill, again i quote, an about-face and our pro-- in our progress fighting hunger. senator dole is right, the majority's leadership has lost its way on this issue. for decades there's been bipartisan support for food stamps, our nation's most important anti-hunger program. they help over 47 million americans, nearly half of them are children, escape the scourge of hunger. nearly all food stamp recipients live below 130% of the poverty line. 5% of food stamp households include a child a senior citizen or a disabled person and they boast one of the lowest error rates of any government program. economists agree that food stamps have a powerful, positive impact on the economy, not just families but the entire economy. they get money into the hands of people who spend it on the food that they need, so cutting anti-hunger funding like this is not just immoral, it makes no economic sense. i might add it makes no economic sense either to cut $40 billion from food stamps for the poor while pres

the postal service can offer a seamless government services and by supporting the daschle platform withnetwork of post office and delivery carriers. the creation, storage consolidation of business identity would protect against the risk of transacting with unknown people and businesses. post offices can become centers of continuous democracy acting as hubs with citizen input. the sale of single use cash cards and cash redemption of digital currency can provide alternatives for the on bank enabling the participation and commerce and virtual post office boxes can offer citizens from u.s. goods, delivery of the packages anywhere and anytime and support businesses with backend operations such as microwhere housing. the postal service already has a physical network underlining that the merchant why your digital infrastructure. by further enabling that, the postal service can ensure the commerce this supported by powerful fulfillment services for physical goods. the committee's attention to revenue and innovation is tremendously important. and refunding which the committee will take up next w
