peru's food is unequivocally awesome, it seems proper we take a trip back in time to meet the forebearer'sry's rich cultural legacy. the museum in lima has a massive collection of pre-colombian artifacts. looking at them, you get an idea of what these ancient peoples were like, how they lived. >> wow! this is like the real stuff. >> i think so. the real deal, yeah. >> gold necklaces. you see where the spanish just freaked-out when they came here, turned into maniacal greed heads. >> history does not have to be boring. it can be sexy. >> i don't know whether you knew this, but i am an aficionado of early erotica of post colombian heiress, you know pottery of people doing it. >> i should have known that. >> turns out things can get pretty interesting back in the day. >> oh, yeah. those guys can get crazy and get wild and apparently very kinky. >> the erotic gallery. there you go. that's a conversation starter. >> i take eric to the pre-colombian boning section, actually the erotic pottery section. >> slip of the tongue. >> amazing. >> which sounds about as much fun as an all nude renaissance

the fcc has zero authority to forebear from regulation in the video realm. and i think congress needs to help us put to with that or help the fcc -- [laughter] it's only been a week. but also in all areas. so we have these stove pipes if you're offering services over a twisted cup repair, there's one set of rules. if it's coaxial cable, there's another set of rules. over the air, yet another. and the marketplace has converged well beyond that. these are 80-year-old concept, and we need to move on. but congress really needs to initiate a rewrite as soon as possible. >> host: gentlemen, commissioner mcdowell, representative greg walden, subcommittee chair for internet and telecommunications recently said on this program, quote: that the fcc recently has been more concerned with expanding its authority rather than working with congress to embed better processes. >> guest: well, certainly in those cases where i've dissented, i agree with the chairman. [laughter] and so i do think there are times when the fcc has reached beyond its authority, and i've written str

address these big scandals, and i bet you thought he would be livid and over the top and loaded forebear i bet you're kicking yourself for missing it. but what i'm beside to tell you what went down in that interview, well, just don't bother watching. you hurt my feelings, todd. i did? when visa signature asked everybody what upgraded experiences really mattered... you suggested luxury car service instd of "strength training with patrick willis." come on todd! flap them chicken wings. [ grunts ] well, i travel a lot and umm... [ male announcer ] at visa signature, every upgradedxperience comes from listening to our cardholders. visa signature. your idea of what a card should be. >> the irs scandal keeps growing and the president's poll numbers are soaring? yeah but not in the numbers the big guy would like. half of the americans think the controversy leads straight to him or at least the white house, and that's up ten points from a month ago, and the number will likely go higher. where is this going? >> this is a problem for the administration. this administration is most worried about th

to believe that we've settled history's accounts, that we can simply enjoy the fruits won by our forebearsome here to berlin today to say that complacency is not the character of great nations. today's threats are not as stark as they were half a century ago, but the struggle for freedom and security and human dignity, that struggle goes on. and i have come here to this city of hope, because the tests of our time demand the same fighting spirit that defined berlin a half century ago. chancellor merkel mentioned that we mark the anniversary of john f. kennedy's stirring defense of freedom embodied in the great mime of this city, his pledge of solidarity ich bin berliner echos through the ages, but that's not all that he said that day. let's remember is the challenge that he issued to the crowd before him. let me ask you, he said to his berliners, let me ask you to lift your eyes beyond the dangers of today. and beyond the freedom of moorely this city. look, he said, to the day of peace with justice, beyond yourselves and ourselves to all mankind. president kennedy was taken from us less tha

just as it guided our forebearers through seneca falls and stonewall. >> joining me now is evan wolfsonntral part in the fight for same-sex marriage. evan wolfson is the founder of freedom to marry. "time" magazine has named him one of the most fliinfluential people in the world. thank you both for coming on the show tonight. evan, what does this say about the year 2013? >> it says even when the supreme court can get something as wrong as they did yesterday, they can sometimes get it right. and what it says is the constitution is a document that guarantees all of us protections. and if we work hard and keep working and do the work, we can all be part of the american dream. the supreme court today by striking down the central part of the so-called defense of marriage act turned the federal government from the number one discriminator against gay couples to now being on the side of those families as we push forward to win the freedom nationwide. and restored the freedom to marry in california bringing california forward as an engine state to help move the country forward. and now establis

if irin forebearance some companies will charge you up to $8 a day to be in forebearance because youdon't have a job. you are racking up interest. also racking up an $8 a day fee. students and the american dream over the coals. if there is anybody out here who wants to say, it's about responsibility, i hear you. but where was the argument about responsibility when we bailed out the wall street banks? where are the argument about responsibility and bankers can borrow at .75% and students have to borrow at 3.4% and up? where is the responsibility then? what is the responsibility when sallie mae can spend $6.8 million $6.8 million lobbying and the students have nobody looking out for them. this is a crying shame. you are the richest country in the world. he can't get an education without racking up trill ions of dollars in debt, america. shame on you. we will be right back on "the bill press show." don't go anywhere. [ music ] >> this is "the bill press show." those types are coming on to me all the time now. >> she gets the comedians laughing... >> that's hilarious! >> ...and the think

live in an america that our forebears could only dream about. every one of them sat where you sit today. each was called upon to address the threats enter from the .ovel questions of their time it is your turn. it is your solemn responsibility and your humbling opportunity to act with optimism and fidelity to our most treasured as a bulls and live with abiding faith in yourselves and with one another treasured values and live with abiding faith in yourselves and with one another. justice is done. 's earliestountry days, the american legal community has risen to the challenge. you are about to embark in your legal careers. your crossroads in history. our nation confronts grave obstacles and national security threats that demand our constant vigilance and steadfast commit it. -- commitment. as leaders and lawyers and americans, that represents a defining issue of our time. someof you must consider important questions. how can we uphold the values and remain true to the high ideals of our legal system will keeping pace with the 21st century threats

god of our forebears, you have been our refuge in every generation. don't forsake us during these challenging days. lord, enlighten our lawmakers so that they will be led by your spirit as they trust you to guide them with your loving providence. give them the wisdom to walk on the road beaten hard by the footsteps of the saints, apostles, prophets and marytrs. may they not forget the glorious heritage you have prepared for those who love you. strengthen them, oh god, with your mighty arms, enabling them to serve your purpose for their lives in this generation. we pray in your sovereign name. amen. the presiding officer: please join me in reciting the pledge of allegiance to our flag. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the presiding officer: the clerk will read a communication to the senate. the clerk: washington d.c., june 19, 2013. to the senate: under the provisions of rule 1, paragraph 3, of the standing rules

so we come back right after the vote and continue that and i ask your forebearance on that. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and i appreciate your kindness in letting me go don't think my presence on the floor will affect in a positive way the outcome of the vote on my amendment, but i appreciate your -- mr. wheeler, on your blog, mobile musing, you indicated in 2011 that the fcc should have, or at a minimum it could have, imposed conditions on the at&t-t-mobile merger that could have later been expand to the entire wireless industry. your post could be read to say the fcc should seek to do mergers what -- book door to imposing a new regulatory regime in wireless, end quote, and i mention that in my opening statement. this concerned me because i believe the fccs transaction review authority should be used only to address the competitive or public interest questions. rather than using strong-arm merger conditions to impose de facto regulations, shouldn't the fcc instead use its public and transparent rulemaking authority to implement industry-wide regulatory policy? >> thank you, senator.

what we see with our fellow citizens, our forebears came to the shores not for free stuff but for freedom. they came here because they knew that god made them a free and they were free to pursue their own happiness and take responsibility for their own lives and actions. they come from different religions, they know they have the right to worship the god of their understanding the way that they chose to worship. [applause] there are some things better still worth believing in. but how many americans do any more. how many of us still believe the little guy can make it that every single life has value and is worth living that honor and integrity do matter and that justice will prevail? it's not in this lifetime, surely in the next. america must recognize god does access to and what each of us choose to do with every second of our day matters. america must again recognize that it is the meek that shall inherit the earth. have we forgotten as we declare ourselves masters of the plan that air against spread our troops all over the planet, teach the world how to do banking the way that we do it

it's not as if we are seeing forebearance is supervisory of the banks, if somebody lets off the pressure't act as rapidly. >> so are you saying that -- what is your sense of when central banks, pla particularly the federal reserve in the states should normalize interest rates not just end qe? >> oh, i think that we're still a ways away from that and that's going to be a difficult thing. we haven't said anything really distinctly about the timebling of these things. we just said we're concerned of the further accommodation. i think unwinding the balance sheet position and bringing the interest rates back to normal. that will be a very difficult and long process at this point and as we have seen in the last week, it's going to be butchy. we said before this started to happen, in fact, that getting interest rates back to normal would not be a smooth process. so, i think that we're as i said i think we're in for a little of a bumpy ride and i think our hope is that people start to think about it and to think about how to do it fairly soon. >> i think one of the most interesting things about

but i hope the justice department will decide in future cases to forebear government officials sayinghouldn't have said, go after the official but don't do anything to show the reporter's ability to tell the truth. >> we are hearing from other other news organizations that they are having a lot of sources dry up. have you noticed that over the past month or two? >> joe, i've noticed a little bit of backing away. people a little bit more tentative on the phone. one of my long time intel sources joked with me, i hope you're buying burner phones for all of your sources so that you can use these disposable phones to talk to people. i think he was pulling my leg. but there's no question when government officials who sign an oath saying they will not betray secrets see these kinds of prosecutions, they are a lot more careful. >> when willie geist and i talk about carrying around burner phones, we are not joking. >> we always have them. >> throw them away. hey, there. drop them in the trash can and keep walking. >> works every time. margaret, this fits into the context of the bradley manning

we inspired by our forebearers who wanted better lives for us and for themselves and found those opportunities here in america. they taught us the fundamental values of family and hard work and fairness. and with this legislation, we honor those american values. we honor their search for freedom, for prosperity and for the promise that america set out to so many for so long. madam president, i am proud to be a member of the united states senate. today is a good day for the senate. more importantly it is a good day for the country. today with the help of many senators we'll address a complex problem that is hurting our families and stifling our economy, threatening our security. several months ago four democrats and four republicans began negotiating and drafting reform legislation, immigration reform legislation. they produced a carefully balanced, fair and humane proposal that at its core is intended to make many improvements to border security and, most importantly, help millions of people who dream the same dreams our ancestors did. i'm proud of the role the judiciary committee has played i
