federal person is $13 a year. that is the average federal employee. a lot of things we can do. how about a hiring freeze? how about stopping the travel? how about using video conferencing instead of spending about $580 million a year in one for conferences? how about doing the things that when we have d do pennies? we cireate priorities. important. is most that is starting to happen only because of sequester. went from 17 days, everybody will be furloughed, to now four? did you get the money? they made some decisions, didn't they? certain moneys didn't get spent that were discretionary. a sudden the sequester has turned out to be not a bad deal for our kids. is a bad deal for some federal agencies. it is not a good way to do it it is better than not doing anything. so my approach would be not to the c.r. but to use the debt limit. and let's have the fight on the american people agree with us on. they agree with us about obama are and they don't agree with us about a government shutdown. think it is incompetency and i agree with them. childish to shut the government down when th

that he acted in self-defense against an oppressive federal government. >> mcveigh looked at the federalal as a multi-million dollar soapbox for his anti-government views. that he felt he had no choice but to blow up a building and kill 168 people. >> is everything still all right? >> no. >> no complaints? >> so it's a situation here that's a lot better than it was -- >> day and night. >> in his distorted world view, his actions were a justifiable response to what he considered violence perpetrated by the government against his own people. >> but defense attorney steven jones knew a necessity case was unwinnable, so he choose a different course. arguing that mcveigh was only part of a much larger conspiracy. >> the greatest mystery is who else besides tim mcveigh, terry nichols, and michael fortier that were involved because they were most assuredly others. >> most of it centered on the man -- known as john doe number two, the description did not fit either terry nichols or michael fortier. investigators concluded that john doe number two never existed. >> we found a gentleman that had b

and the federal government we're starting to see all the discretionary spending in the federal budget be crowded out by the size of the entitlement programs and by the size of the interest on the national debt. so that limits our political options that we can have through our elected representatives as a free people. i think there are three major things that need to happen before we can start looking at rolling some of this back. the first is we need to have a limited government political party. right now the republican party has been a rhetorically pro-limited government party, and there are -- i note in my book -- periods where the relin party has lived up to this rhetoric. the three historical periods i note are during the truman administration what they called the do-nothing congress under robert taft, the congress that came in with ronald reagan when he was elected in 1980 and the first year or two of the gingrich congress that came in in 1994. most of you are a little younger than me or quite a bit younger than me, but i always used to joke, you know, the knack had one good albu

so do we support federalism or don't we support federalism? the states so rotten and the federal government so wonderful? is the supreme court so beautiful and nobody else can make decisions? i don't believe that for a minute. >> anybody want to respond to that? >> i have silenced there. >> jeffrey lord, go ahead. >> you mentioned settled law. i mean, i remember arlen specter grilling roberts or alito about can't we consider roe v. wade as settled law? we don't think it's settled law and how do we decide what's settled law in terms of opposing these things? >> it is more settled if society more broadly makes the decision. it is unsettled if a supreme court uses invisible ink and adds language to the constitution that simply does not exist. and this is a broader point i'd like to make. the left is in a nullification. the left constitution. it nullifies parts of the constitution. and then when somebody like me dares to say, well, let's embrace that part of the constitution that allows us to re-establish it, you don't support the constitution? th

federal prosecutors will then determine if trayvon martin's civil rights were violated and if federal prosecution of george zimmerman is appropriate. if zimmerman is charged with violating trayvon martin's civil rights, it wouldn't be the first time a failed criminal case gave way to a federal civil rights case. remember rodney king? after the four los angeles police officers caught beating him on camera were acquitted, the case moved to federal court, where two of the four officers were found guilty of violating king's civil rights. they were each sent tensed to 30 months in prison. it was a similar story in new orleans after a handful of officers were cleared of a shooting. in the aftermath of katrina in 2005, the officers opened fire on a family, killing a 17-year-old. when local prosecutors couldn't deliver a conviction, the civil rights division of the u.s. department of justice and fbi began an investigation. in 2011, a jury in new orleans federal court convicted five police officers on charges related to covering up the investigation and deprivation of civil rights. still, rega

another big chunk of the federal budget is defense. we spent $700 billion on defense last year. $700 billion. that is more than the combined defense budget of china, britain, france, russia, japan, saudi arabia, germany, india, italy, brazil, south korea australia, canada tehrik-e, spain and israel. our defense budget is bigger than the defense budget of the next 17 countries combined. i don't think that's sustainable there are big choices for the cuts of the world to what extent it's important to keep the planes opened for the oil shipments and for everybody that depends on the oil in the middle east. to what extent do we want to be able to send people of the drop of a hat into libya or somalia or syria or wherever? there are some big items there and i think the trouble with the defense budget it's like covering the federal reserve it's developed a fed the cassette of facts and speech and concepts outsiders can't understand. in the book i try to take one thing the defense department has to decide how many aircraft carriers are enough?

accused of scry lating federal law. some issues are best handled at the state or local level. that's why i have today directed the united states attorney community to develop specific, locally tailored guidelines consistent with our national priorities for determining when federal charges should be filed and when they should not. i have also issued guidance to ensure that every case we bring serves a substantial federal interest and complements the work of our law enforcement partners. i have directed the u.s. attorney generals to create and update comprehensive anti-violence strategies for badly aficted areas within their districts. and i have encouraged them to convene regular law enforcement foreyums with state and local partners to refine these plans, to foster greater efficiency, and to facilitate more open communication and cooperation. by targeting the most serious offenses, prosecuting the most dangerous criminals, directing assistance to crime hot spots, and pursuing new ways to promote public safety, deterrenc

the federal money? caller: sure. the federal is supposed to be a backup plan for state-level needs.ost: but if it makes up a ,ecent chunk of a state budget something would have to give, no? thatr: certainly, and states need to actually -- and the states need to actually work around having to use so much money from the fed. that is how i read it. i am 68 years old and i have watched this country. interesting -- host: interesting ,oint -- less federal money states have to balance their budget and get business done. can you offer perspective? guest: for many states, these are federal programs, not state programs. they are federal programs the states are implementing at the state level to make them run more efficiently, effectively, so when there are federal cutbacks, the question is what will states do about that? finances have not been as robust lately as they have been in the past, many states are not in a position to backfill these federal cuts. what we see states doing, i think, in general, is trying to put away some reserve funds to the extent that they can identify them, and stat

federal prosecutors, federal judges, quiet frankly federal juries have been dismayed with this sentencing of these low level drug offender. it takes the discretion away from the prosecutor and the judge opini judge. when i was prosecuting, it was displaying to me. when you know you're prosecuting someone that is low level and likely to be put in jail for ten or more years that's difficult thing to do. people should be certainly cognizacog any cognizant of this and happy about it. what you've seen is you prosecute and imprison. you don't rehabilitate. you don't do any of these diversion nar tactics that have proouen time and time again to be very helpful in terms of the war on crime. we're seeing the lead prosecutor saying we're going to change ou we charge these cases. we're going to change not only that but we're going to change how we deal with folks once they get out of prison. i think when you look at that sort of comprehensive reform that makes for stronger law enforcement and for a stronger society. i think this is a really significant change that we're hearing from the attorney gen

and every federal employee that works in this building and virtually every federal employee that is out there in our communities is doing so because they believe in public service. i think that a federal employee is pretty crazy to be doing this job. they basically are being told that you're not worth very much, their integrity is constantly being questioned, they've had three years of pay freezes and furloughs. and they're supposed to continue to do public service. i want to address one section of this bill that would now allow individuals to record telephone and in-person conversations with federal employees. mr. cummings: i yield the gentlewoman 30 seconds. ms. speier: it would preempt the law in my state of california and the chairman's state of california and 11 other states that require the consent of all parties to a conversation. it contains no exception for law enforcement, sensitive communications, the military or anything else. the f.b.i. has already indicated to us that they strongly oppose this bill because -- in their words -- this proposal risks undermining criminal inves

we also need federal lions and the federal government of who is in charge. everybody wants to be in charge but we've really need to know if we are going to call the backbone we need to know who is going to pick up on the other line, and it can't be a rotating set of characters. last, the need is limited liability for due diligence. i think all of the companies we are doing things that are good and something bad is going to happen at some point in time. the fact we did our due diligence doesn't mean automatically that we should be penalized for that. right? again it is how you respond. what we don't need, we absolutely don't need and this is coming from information security offices, i don't want the prescription control. that limits my ability to be agile. telling me everything i need to do to protect my system is going to create complexity and it's also going to create a security risk for my company. i need the controls in place that respond to threats, vulnerabilities and threat actors, not the checklist. thanks. >> i would characterize it more if i have th

of the money supply to just take a second to make sure we understand this is basically what the federal reserve was doing for the five years before the economic crisis that began in two thousand and eight for five years the try to reserve has increased several measurements of the money supply by over fifty percent they've pushed interest rates to two bull below . zero and when discounted for inflation and it's basically about monetary expansion and interest rate manipulation they created the house of cards that resulted in the recession that we've been slowly recovering from then sense two thousand and eight two thousand and nine the federal reserve using the official term quantitative easing has basically attempted to inflate the economy again and in fact by measurements that they use the money supply has again been expanding over the last four years by over forty percent the result is is that this is basically been a distortion and a manipulation of the economy first that it created the crisis and now they're attempting them to get out of it the difficulty of course is is that this is

in part, it's because there is more federal money to be had. pell grants and loans are up under the obama administration but there is more to it than that. it's a basic squeeze. tuition keeps rising, state support for higher education keeps falling and private money is stagnant. that means for most students, a college education simply isn't affordable without some federal help. in the association of student financial aid administrators say that's unlikely to change any time soon when they rely on tuition for funding. >> the federal government put in funds but haven't kept pace with that disinvestment over the last 40 years. >> reporter: iona increased the aid budget to help bridge the gap. brandon lara hopes in the end it will pay off. >> at some point, way down the road, there is a return on that. >> reporter: but if he or his fellow students are wrong, some of the risk, now more than ever falls on federal taxpayers. for "nightly business report," i'm scott cohn in new york. >>> still ahead, six weeks until open enrollment for healthcare but t

there is no power given to a federal agency like the federal reserve, banks like jpmorgan to establish which have opinions about this american standard. it is congress' duty. to define the american monetary standard. there have been 40 years in which they have failed to find the monetary standard. trauma center history of the american public until 1971 was defined as a certain weight of precious metal. primarily gold. it is fair to say that congress has been dysfunctional. however congress has been dysfunctional through many periods of united states history. we just take the antebellum period after the inauguration in 1789. many people thought that everyone should have a free and equal opportunity in that certain classes were denied that opportunity. he finds that there are people, great statesman who despaired in the declaration of independence would become the american proposition that governs or latin america. things happen. congress gives itself together. congress proposes amendments to the constitution and its amendments arise from the people directly as well is within the halls o

in the federal court. we provide support to the panel through training, through outreach your that saves money for the government. they are able to do their jobs more efficiently. as we've been cut as result of the sequester, we have had to furlough our employees but we had to eliminate training. we have had to cut ourselves to the bone. many defenders have already laid off staff, like holly from arizona will be at 25% less staffing by october 1. but that's not the worst that we face. federal defenders are confront confronted, if there is flat funding, and we are operating not on the marks from house and the cynic in which we are very grateful for, both the senate and house, but only continue resolution. we are facing eliminating up to 35% or more of our staffing. and that's because the alternative is to be faced with weeks upon weeks of furloughs. in eastern district of virginia, i'd be faced with, if i kept my staff on board, following 4907 days. it's simply untenable. it's untenable as a manager to do t

federal bar association. as the united states district judge, eyewitness firsthand the need for adequate representation for criminal defendants in my courtroom. it is almost unbelievable that the system of justice could operate without qualified counsel, but that is the system we had prior to the criminal justice act of 1960 -- 1964. before the passage, lawyers receive no compensation for their work. they receive no funding for investigators, paralegals, experts or other service providers. they did not receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket transfers,ch as copies of documents or case- related travel. this was the case despite the bill of rights guarantee to the assistance of counsel is constitution,he and even before that in the federal judiciary act of 1789, which also contained a federal right to counsel provision. it has been a tradition since our nations rounding and in contrast to english law that a defendant in a criminal case as the right to a lawyer to assist him or her, this right to counsel contain

law for purposes of federal benefits. it's not yet been tested in very many contexts whether the federal government will be providing registered domestic partners with any sort of federal benefits. most of the statutes talk in terms of spouses or married couples. but there is a provision in the social security act that says basically a couple will be recognized that they're married if they are married in the state in which they live or have the right succession. it could be language like that that there will be some federal recognition for domestic partners. >> another question? >> hi. i was wondering if there are any plans for ms. stier and perry to be moving to ohio or nebraska? i go through 37 names. >> we don't plan to be plaintiff in any other legal cases ever. so probably i think i'm answering your question. we haven't going to fall into the scenarios that were described earlier, no. >> but be careful when you travel. >> believe me, i'm making notes because this is great legal advice stkpwhrfpl >> we prefer flying.
