griffith: we've done our part to solve the problem. we need the chinese to do as well. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from connecticut seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. larson: i rise to commend senators manchin and toomey to come up with a rational approach that 92% of americans all agree with and the need for universal background checks as it relates to our gun laws. the bill was taken up today in the senate, and the vote was 54-46. every fifth grader in america is astounded that that bill was defeated. only in the united states senate, the other body, could that take place. a vote of 54-46 would not pass. and so disheartening as it is and from reeling from the events that have taken place in boston on patriots day, children all across america cannot be reassured by their parents tonight that they are

look, we need moran di griffith, not barney fife and barney is messing up.'re down here and you're messing it up. it's good to have the dem okay rahization of information is critical in hands that deploy it with care and regard and regard for other citizens. my individual right to know has to be counter balanced against what we have to put out there as we pursue people who were deemed as extremely dangerous and terrorists. i think that in that sense, we want to hold the state accountable, that's for sure, but the misuse of information that is flooding the airwaves, the digital arena is potentially harmful because it reinforces the very stereotypes you're speaking about. >> when the brown student missing, sunil tripathi was identified by twitter, basically. so this is a student who is missing, whose parents are in agony still don't know where he is and he's identified as a potential terrorist. >> the biggest danger with overreaction is from the media. your quote from the boston police shows that the authorities are more educated than they were after 9/11. wit

. >> on twitter, don griffith says i'm still waiting for the warrens to be written up for george w.f for war crimes. >> bill: yeah. neither he nor bush cheney were held responsible for breaking the law. the constitution report came out this week saying what they were doing was against domestic and international law. >> mc says george bush is the hinge of cliff notes on international security so which the reply is he couldn't even read cliff notes. >> bill: put two wars on credit card, led the country away from our values and crashes the economy. that kind of sums it up. valerie is in indianapolis. good morning. >> caller: hey, bill i just feel like people have such short memories. it's so scary. i think -- like just yesterday all of the talking points, all of the republicans were saying that we were never attacked during the bush -- >> bill: yeah, right. they always -- they always want to forget who was president on september 11th, right? >> caller: yes. >> bill: he was warned ahead of time and did nothing about it too, by the way. >> caller: right. i personally believe it was the c

griffith, i'll recognize you, the gentleman from virginia, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman, i appreciate the witnesses being here today. i do have a lot to get through, so i apologize if i seem short at times. i would say in response to the answer to mr. mckinley's question by dr. jaccard, if your written testimony -- in your written testimony you indicated china might not have grown at 10% a year, but economic models say it avoided the dramatic increase in carbon pollution. so you do acknowledge that using a lot of fuel does, in fact, create jobs. would that not be correct? yes or no, please. >> i think it would have created more jobs in that same scenario. >> well -- >> it would have been more labor intensive. >> your testimony was -- >> economic growth. >> right. >> but it would be more labor intensive, more jobs. >> that being said, i think that at times particularly in regard to keystone xl pipeline, we are straining out the gnat while swallowing the camel. i would compliment you, dr. jaccard, that you at least pay attention to the camel, and i point to your w

. >> stephanie: remember melanie griffith played -- she pretended she was undercover -- >> an orthodoxarby so she could stair at it during the scene. >> didn't you have to pretend you liked boys -- >> stephanie: no, i had to wear a dominatrix outfit -- >> some people would say that was a romantic encounter. by the way when is your movie coming out that you just filmed? >> stephanie: which one? oh, i don't know. >> all right. >> stephanie: seventeen minutes after the hour. right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> announcer: for a good time call now, 1-800-steph-1-2. ♪ (vo) next, compelling true stories. >> jack, how old are you? >> nine. >> this is what 27 tons of marijuana looks like.

griffith for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate your patience. dr.artini, you were talking about local health professionals being involved and try to make sure people get treatment. is it your opinion for what are your thoughts, hipaa stand in the way of -- trading and a patient's general care physician? >> i think there have been cases that i've worked on where the family, the patient is not what the local physicians to know about these psychiatric problems. apart because the local physicians indicated know a great many people. i think that, i think a good bit of that anxiety is misplaced on the part of the patient but i can understand but i also think that what we need to do is we need to work with these clinicians and physicians to embolden more in mental health care, to educate them to make them part of the mental health system so that families recognize that the help that they provide is going to be in the patient and the family's best interest. >> one of my concerns we heard from a previous hearing, it took 18 months for the average person with

bill griffith's in boston. you're in boston? >> yes. i am here in an unrelated event.etings all day and an event i'm emseeing tonight and all of that is up in the air at the moment, and i just went outside and the hotel just a couple of blocks from copley square. the police presence outside is very evident, but what's interesting is they have shut down the cab so you can't grab a cab anywhere to go from point a to point b in town, but if you go to the airport you can take that cab just to get out of town, but walking around is not as difficult as you might imagine and it's not like i would imagine. i thought they would be shooing people back indoors at the hotels here, but that's not the case. i asked one of the security guards at the hotel here if i was able to walk outside and just start walking around and he said, sure, go ahead. >> are there people on the streetses? are there a lot of people? >> there are people on the streets, but not nearly as you would imagine for a friday morning. you know this area very well and a lot of crowded area and a lot of colleges in t

griffiths. >> mr. chairman, if i could pass the time, i'd appreciate that. >> mr. johnson for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. first of all panel members, i would like to reiterate thank you for being with us and for your testimony. i know these are very tough testimonies to give nr go out to you. ms. tran three, you suggest health care workers sometimes use hippa as an excuse not to share information and not fit to live because they're afraid of fines or send letters. why else would someone withhold information from acquiring family members? >> because the role of the family man or and care of someone -- as i said, most of my experiences with older adults, although i personally with the family caregiver for my date has been 17 years he had tonight brain injury and was quadriplegic. so i have my own experiences with the system. the family members ask our question. they want to know a lot of information about why does this have been? what can i expect? what are you this medication when it's on the list and says this is counter indicated. this is not to disp

bill griffith in watertown. are you joining us on the phone? >> no. i'm right here. i know.wasn't planning to be on the air and i happened to be in the area and with the lockdown and the events i was here for have been canceled. i'm at the staging area maybe 30 yards from where the latest news briefing is about to get under way. there is still a lot more questions than answers right now and those of us in the media who are con gre grated here in watertown in the staging area are left to read the signs right now. there's an unprecedented level of law enforcement in the area right now between the state troopers, the local police and the military and the area that seems to be of interest, if you -- there's this helicopter, but it's behind this area over here. that may be the area that we're focused on. do they have this 19-year-old in custody yet? if so, where is he? if not, where are they focusing right now? that's what we're hoping to hear from during the news briefing. we don't know who will be here. in the past it's been police commissioner davis. governor patrick could be
