and i'm glad to see dick heller here. we never dead get out for the beer i wanted to do, but hopefully we can make that up sometime soon, dick. i've been on panels and discussions with dick over the years. want to make a few points. point number one is that we still have a problem with gun violence in this country. some people argue that, they'll argue that there's less gun homicides today than there might have been in the early '90s, they might argue that violent crime has gone down. that's all true. but we still have a problem with gun violence in this country. and even if the numbers are decreasing, which i'm happy about, we still have a problem with gun violence in this country. the tragic shootings at newtown where 20 first graders were massacred was just ten months ago. the shooting at the navy yard was just a month ago. and we haven't done anything as a country to address these issues, and these are crucial issues for us to address. even when we -- and then i hear from so many people why do you focus on mass shooti

the heller case ended up with a charge for d.c. to get the license to heller. the fact that permit holders know there is a list, the fact that we have looked at registration for machine guns for years aims there some capability to take those concepts and combine them with some national reciprocity i would take care the argument i hear from the nra and others on the gun rights side that why should i write be different in one state and another state? that is a big concession from people on the gun-control side, and probably something i could get arguments from people that i deal with. we have got a problem in this country. our political system is not in a position that it is dealing with the problem. it is probably not going to be in a position to do with that politically for some time. the only way that we will be able to get something through congress in the foreseeable future is if the nra and others on the right side are willing to join in the conversation, sit down at the table, and try to work something out. the background checks and who should be prohibite

have you read the heller case? have you read section three of the heller case. when it says like the rights like other rights are not unlimited. the lists of presumptively legal we're instructions -- it's not a thrais is not exhaustive. you can go too far but there are things you do. even the last april when the senate debated this again, half the time when the republicans are saying they are saying second amendment, second amendment. when the proposal they were talking about really didn't infringe on the second amendment. so i think that's one of them. the second amendment does allow things that. there are restrictions first amendment sounds pretty absolute to congress shall make no law. then they say you can't lie or slander somebody, can't have pornography in public places. there are restrictions on first amendment laws. there are restrictions on the other amendments, there are restrictions that are constitutional with regard to the second amendment too. it's not absolute. that's what the court said. the other myth i usually deal with is the one that the demo

walter heller left the council in 1964.1985, the man in this office rejected the idea that the government could fine-tune the economy. we cannot do it now, and we couldn't do it then. some of my predecessors believed they could. so far as the reagan administration is concerned, we recognize that. we try not to fine-tune because it would be a road toward disaster. what happened between the sixties and the eighties? the seventies happened bad years for theory and practice of macro-economics. monthly fine-tuning of monetary policy created havoc in the economy as martin feldstein explains. i think the 1970s, in particular, was a decade in which monetary policy pursued the wrong goals, was based on the wrong premises, and got us into terrible trouble. it was money's excessive growth more than anything else, that brought us to the double-digit inflation rates. in the seventies, fiscal policy was not much better. by the time congress got around to changing fiscal policy, a tax cut or an increase in spending it was too late. instea

heller: tourings madam president. i rise today to address the public revelations regarding government classified government surveillance programs. before so, i would like to take a moment to honor mike lance bur rirks who died a hero's death in sparks, nevada, last weeks. after spotting a student with a gun at the middle school, mr. lance bury moved directly in harm's way to protect his students and others from danger. he was fatally shot. mr. lance bury was an alabama native, a graduate of mcqueen high school in sparks and a decorated master sergeant in the nevada guard airmen. to his students he was a coach, a teacher and also a mentor. to his community mr. lance bury was a patriot, a father, and a friend. master sergeant lansbury leaves behind a legacy of self-sacrifice and service to his country and community. he will continue to be remembered as a great and honorable man and a feanch fath. thank you, madam president. i would also like it discuss briefly current national security agency practices. including its bu

heller: thank you, mr. president. i rise to speak why i had a hold on this particular nomination. contrary to some that are speculating on this issue, i am not voting against this specific nominee. my concerns are with the way o.p.m. determines who can ask questions and who can receive answers. imagine there is a federal government out there, an agency that determines who can ask a question to them and who can get an answer and whether a member of the minority or the majority, every member should be able to ask questions and to receive those answers. now, frankly if you ask a question, you should be able to get an answer, and when you get the answer, it probably should be truthful, and that's my argument and that's the purpose that i have this hold. i want to be very clear that i'm not voting against the nominee as an individual. i'm voting against the agency itself. when o.p.m., in my opinion, has become one of the most politicized agencies in washington, d.c., and i believe the office of personnel management has refused to do its part to ensure that all americans are treated fai

supreme court in district of columbia versus heller stated the inherent right of self-defense has been central to the 2nd amendment rights. now some who get their news from the modern news media may believe that was a new creation of the modern core and i would note that idea has been around from the founding of this nation indeed justice harlan with a unanimous supreme court in 1895 stated the following. quote he was not obliged to retreat nor consider whether he could safely retreat but was entitled to stand his ground and meet any attack on him with a deadly weapon with such force as it are all the circumstances he at the moment honestly believed and had reasonable grounds to believe was necessary to save his own life or to protect himself from great bodily injury. the declaration of independence begins with the right of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness given by our creator to each of us. if an individual is confronted by violent aggressor, the right of self-defense is an inherent right in each of us and the notion that critics of these laws put forth that if you are attack

what he read was a book review in the "new yorker," and that inspired walter heller to go look into policies that could be used to alleviate poverty, and kennedy tragically died in november of 1963, but johnson then heard about this program and said that is my kind of program. >> 200 years a popular culture in the white house with tevi troy sunday night at 8:00 on c- span "q&a." senate votede the to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, republican senator ted cruz spoke on the senate floor about why he objected to the bill. a few weeks before that before the government shutdown, senator spoken on the floor for more than 20 hours about defunding the health care law, which became a major sticking point in keeping the government funded. here is senator cruz's remarks. >> mr. president, i rise today in opposition to the deal that the senate is getting ready to vote on. this is a terrible deal. this deal in bodies everything everything about the washington establishment that frustrates the american people. this deal kicks the can down the road. it allows yet more debt, more and its, m
