the epa has spewed out the waters of the u.s., the cold power plan, they cnged the defifinition of a franchise, and who arehe rule makers? they're not elected by anyone and no accountable to anyone. all of the rules rolled out under obamacare were wrien by bureaucrats in the basement. what's happening is a set of rules keep coming out of washington which no one is accountable. we also, by the waway, have to do a top to bottom rule of every regution on the books, we haven't done that in 50 years. we have no idea what rules are on the books.. and people are trying to figure it out. >> is that really reasonable to think though, there's tt many, we talked about the numbers of pages of the expectations, is it reasonable to think we can go through all ofhose and sort it out? >> of cose, it is, it's just we don't do it. just like it's reasonable to say, we can go to a three page tax plan, it's existed for 20 years, and no one wants to lok at it. the point is all these politicians are tied up in a political system that's not serving the people anymore. we have to take our government back a a

sharyl: what was the purpose of that epa armed raid in chicken,& alaska? to investigaga violations of the clean water act. then governor sean parnell and alaska senator lisa murkowski called it outrageous and overreaching. epa told us environmental law enforcement,t,ike other forms of law enforcement, always involves the potentntial for physical, even armed, confrontation and pointed to an alaskapecial counsel report that found the investigations were done professionally and courteously. you saw shotguns in the hands of some federal agents, but epa told us they do not carry weapons typically used by swat teams, nor do they say they use military grade equipment. a report last week about for-profit colleges preying on military troops was spot on to our mission of holding powers accountable, whoever they may be. a number of membererof congress took to the senate floor thi week to speak to the problem. senator dick durbin took the charge, as lawmakers called for more federal scrutiny of for-profit colleges. we cannot continue e look e other way. >> what is hap

even the environmental protection agency-epa-has armed agents...sharyl attkisson has this report from 3 we have broad based criminal investigative authority, arrest authority, carry firearms. in august of 20-13, some of those armed epa agents in bulletproof vests conducted a raid near the town of chicken, alaska: population about 7. today, at least 40 federal agencies have their own armed units. that includes: the agriculture department,the office of personnel management, the consumer product safety commission and the railroad retirement board. tim lynch, project on criminal justice director cato instituteit's been proliferating over the years and we don't really have a full accounting of how many of these agencies and units are out there. adam andrzejewski of the watchdog open the books says it's unclear why the epa's environmental mission would require a 200 person armed unit costing $216,000 tax dollars per agent per year. adam andrzejewski founder openthebooks.com 12:02 $1.7 million was spent by the epa on guns and ammunition up to 30 mm, $400,00 was spent on mm and 300 mm, $300,0

the epa are in violation of emissions standards and we listened in on the epa conference call and wery clearly heard the epa administrator say there were defeat devices on these vehicles that were tested. voluntarily, wag season out with a statement that says it wishes to emphasize no software has been installed in the 3 liter v-6 diesel power units to alter characteristics in a forbidden manner t goes on to say volkswagen hopes to talk with the epa to clarify this matter. appears to be a dispute about whether or not there were defeat devices on these vehicles. again, the epa says 10,000 more vehicles in the u.s. do have violations of emissions standards and that was the announcement earlier today. now you hear volkswagen disputing it. >> because if it wasn't defeat devices then what was it? >> kelly, i will tell you that i asked the question, several other reporters asked the question looking for clarification from the epa, they stuck to the script and say it's an ongoing investigation. so there is a bit of a mystery in part because the epa is not coming out with all the information

so dealing with the epa is something i'm not volunteering for, but we've had our experience. and, you know, you asked about -- and i would give kudos to quentin and his work on the council and his support of the mayor and the deliberations and the negotiations that went on with the epa. we probably, as a city, took a bullet in the hip, you know, not life-threatening, but we dodged a cannonball through the agreement that was made, and so not having been very specifically involved in that during the last few years, i would continue the process, the project and the philosophy that's going on right now. you'll remember, ron, you mentioned the 2008 floods, and that was something that we're even working on today and it did have a contributing factor, let alone record rains and tornadoes and that sort of thing and ground that was absolutely saturated. but when the -- the day the river crested, i got people from waste treatment, the flood control, engineering together and i said you know what? they call this a 500 year flood. we're not going to have to wait 5 hundred years, it would

>> renewable energy and what the epa has done to us has been devastating. we have had tremendous growth and prosperity, and then they decided to reduce the renewable tax. it has reduced farm income, and we need to restore what the congress intended when they passed it. the epa rules are a disaster and we have a situation where china is more supportive of ethanol than the united states of america. it makes no sense. this administration made a commitment to support renewable fuels and has reneged on it. >> wind power is very popular here in iowa. >> yes, it is. >> how did this come about is it. >> in my first year of governor as we passed a renewable energy standard. would have to purchase electricity produced by wind at a set price. 24 other states have copied our renewable electricity standard and we now have 28 1/2 percent of all of our electricity generated by wind. iowa leads the country. the rules don't give us credit for anything we did before 2014. they give us no credit for that. we have led the country in renewable electricity and the epa new power

tim: grassely of iowa was amongst one of those, displeased with the epa's renewable fuel revisions. he released a statement today saying quote: "this rule is a slight improvement but it still sells biofuels short. the epa just doesn't appreciate that farmers and biofuels producers can generate enough renewable fuels to meet the goals set by congress. the epa doesn't seem to appreciate that the law on the books requires strong biofuels targets and that consumers like the chance to use alternate fuels. grassley went on to call the epa's approach to the problem "flawed" and suggested it buys io "big oil's rhetoric. the senator says this new rule should have came two years ago. tim: when it comes to non-renewable fossil fuels, gas prices continue to fall nationwide. according to triple-a, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gas is two dollars, four cents. down more than 25-percent from a year ago. gas-buddy says the cheapest gas in the country is at a sam's club in lafayette, indiana, where a gallon of regular is just a dollar-39. tim: president obama is urging the wor

the second part is driven by the epa. big: the part on the engines is epa-driven. that involves the porsche. what we learned last night is because of volkswagen's own internal investigation, they found carbon dioxide irregularities in some 800,000 the eccles. this could have some overlap with the 11 million diesel engines. you mentioned petrol. as we say, gas, in the states. volkswagen says that is really just a fraction. this mostly has to do with the engines that are giving them all this trouble. here are the models that are going to the affected. volkswagen, the polo, the gulf, the passat. on the audi side, the a-one, the a-3. monteith mueller, the new ceo, comes from porsche. here's what he said when they announced these regularities. beginning, i set out to completely clear up this situation. , butis a painful process there is no alternative. this is volkswagen trying to come clean with what they know and get it out there and take the hit. they said this could have economic impact of 2 billion euros. on the porsche side of things, we don't have a lot of clarit

there's only two weeks left for the epa to release final rules for renewable fuel standard , mandated by u.s. courts.november 30th will tell refiners and ethanol producers what production requirements will be for 2014, 2015, and 2016. the 2014 requirements are a year late and according to the renewable fuels association's jeff cooper, that's left a lot of businesses in the dark, "now that we have this uncertainty and it's not clear what those volumes are going to be that's bad for business and i think it's caused our industry to look at other outlets for our ethanol, we're exporting nearly a billion gallons of ethanol today largely as a result of the fact that we built this industry thinking we would have that demand." cooper says corn prices are 50 n a dollar below t cost of production, "so ty're looking for anything thati lp boost mand for their product. help t those ices back up to at lea breakeven levels, and certainly if epa llowedhletter of the law and implemented the proam thatcongress intended. that would help raise demand for corn, that would pull prices up to more manageable

it is important for the epa to enforce them.nd i don't think that again, based upon the limited coverage, that that is something that volkswagen executives of disagree with. but i do think that it is apparent that they are struggling to get there arms around what appears to be a pretty significant problem. >> canvas prime minister was sworn in today. >> i don't have a scheduling update at this point. you know, obviously the president had the opportunity to speak with him via telephone shortly after he was elected in my guess is we will have an opportunity for the president to sit down with him at some point relatively soon. >> two questions. a follow-up underlings question about the flyover of the sinai. i don't think you directly answer the question of whether or not the administration would urge flying in and out of the us a more directa more direct way them what had already been in place in the past. any need for a more urgent or more different type of warning now? and the story earlier today about gitmo. >> the faa thing and

epa has produced maps in each of our 50 states.agues in the house had to force the agency to release these maps last year , but again almost the whole state of alaska is shaded in which is what the epa wants to regulate under this rule. so what exactly could that cover. it could be a new runway project i will be subject to regulation or seafood processing plan in bristol bay. it can be a new neighborhood that wants to accommodate to deal with a growing population that will be subject to regulation. it could be a parcel of land of order them in the native land claims settlement act that just so happens to be in no wetlands area or have a small river present, but the fact that it was a conveyance of land under a native claims settlement act does not get you beyond regulations to epa. it can be the new industrial park in anchorage. it can be an energy project on the north arctic slope region. again, it is wetlands or clearly permafrost or it could be our gas line. the proposed gas line kemal we were hoping to run a gas line. this is a

the epa could throw the book at them and ask for $18 billion in damages. that is just the epa side.here are a lot of estimates, but no one has a good sense for how much this is going to cost. there are estimates ranging from 30 billion euros to 70 billion euros. i am not in a position to give volkswagen any sort of advice. i am puzzd by the antagonistic tone toward the regulators. that you do them a fair amount of damage. david: hans nichols nichols in berlin, thank you for joining us. let's turn back to alan patricof. ?s there a bubble stephanie referred to the late 1990's that we all remember fondly. but it strikes me, there might be one big difference. a lot of those companies were publicly traded. they have gone with an ipo. now we are seeing these unicorns backed by companies like yours. is that a big difference? -- you haveicorns to put it in context. are lessabout -- there than 150, a unicorn defined as $1uation in excess of billion. if you are over $10 billion, you will probably have five to 10 at most. the number of venture capital investments are probably in the tens of th

president of the afbf bob stallman says, "that is the quickest way to resolve the issues with epa if we can get a piece of legislation passed that the president will sign. so that means we will probably have to put a rider on a must pass piece of legislation like the omnibus. the court side, we have been pretty successful so far, the sixth circuit court ofappeals has said that, 'yeah theaintiffsaprevail on their ints, they've got some go arguments so we're going to put mporary injunction ipctoep the epa from implementing e le.'" stallman says the rulereatens most farmers becauseof a citizen suit provision in tus, "if you do something on a piece of your property that environmental group donlikeey can file a citizen suitovision under this law that ys, 'okay,a, they're violating the law.' , it's sort of a gotcha rule. it's notinto be implemented acrossthe country. the a t goingme out to every farm and tell every farmer what they can or can't do. but be in limbo." people are sick and tired of establishment politics,vand they want real change!

ernst says an iowa farm bureau study warned the bill would give the epa jurisdiction over 97 percent of land in iowa.
