in south dakota governor dugard just this week introduced a proposal to our legislative session that would significantly increase state investment in transportation in south dakota. while we are trying to do our part states cannot do it alone. we need a strong federal program. large rural states like south dakota have very few people to support each mile of federal highway and to be able to maintain our portion of the national highway system. the world population of 7 billion people is expected to grow by 70 million a year and we need to export our crops and products to help feed them. 65% of the truck traffic in south dakota is through commerce, meaning it does not originate in or have a destination in our state but it certainly serves the destination. before closing mr. chairman we'd like tone courage you to do what you can to simplify the transportation program and make it more flexible. we know there necessarily must be some requirements for the federal program but this is an area where for the public interest less is more. as it turns out this includes gravel and dirt roads whic

and that is because of you guys and martin dugard the best researcher in the world.e. here's the tip of the day, when you have success you should handle it gently. handle it with care. "the factor" tip of the day. and that is it for us tonight. please check out the fox news factor website which is different from billoreilly.com. also, we would like you to spout off about "the factor" from anywhere in the world. o'reilly@foxnews.com. name and town if you wish to opine. word of the day, do not be a louche when writing to "the factor." i think i'm using that word properly. i think i am. again, thanks for watching us tonight. ms. megyn is next. she'll have the terrorism in france and we'll continue with that throughout the evening. i'm bill o'reilly. please remember the spin stops here cause we'relooking >>> the attack started around noon paris

so what i did was i combined, along with martin dugard, my co-author, a history with a thriller aspectovel, and created a book that you don't have to like history to read. it's really a fun, exciting read. and they've done very, very well. >> seth: and so patton died in a car crash from complications in a car crash. you think there might be more to the story? >> well, it's the strangest car crash you've ever seen and we lay out the audience -- we lay out the evidence for the reader. i've never seen anything like it. a big truck comes out of nowhere on a clear day and there's a general and his friend driving down one side, it smashes in. no reason for them to hit it. and we knew stalin wanted patton dead. there had been two prior assassination attempts on patton because patton wanted to fight the russians. and after they -- the allies defeated the nazis, patton said to truman and fdr, "hey. these are your enemies. these guys aren't gonna pull back." and pat was absolutely right! so stalin wanted him out of the way and that's what we believe might have happened. the evidence is pretty co

in south dakota governor dugard just this week introduced a proposal to our legislative session that would significantly increase state investment in transportation in south dakota. while we are trying to do our part, states can do it alone. large rural states like south dakota do not have enough people to maintain our portion of the national highway system. the world population of $7 billion is expected to grow by $707 before closing, mr. chairman we'd like to encourage you to do what you can to simplify the transportation program and make it more flexible. we know that -- we know there necessarily must be some requirements for the federal program, but this is an area where for the public interest, less is more. as an example, one proposed rule would have states collect multiple data items for all public roads. as it turns out this includes gravel and dirt roads which make up the majority of the roads in our state. this is not a priority use of scarce funds so we urge the congress to simplify the program where it can so that program dollars can provide more transportation investment
