then, in 1962, walter heller saw his chance. economy sputtered in '62 and i pushed hard for a tax cut. the treasury resisted a big tax cut. i wanted a down payment in '62 to make sure we didn't fall into a recession and go ahead in '63. he didn't buy that. in '62, he bought the idea of an across-the-boards tax cut. every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create new jobs and new salaries. these can create other jobs and salaries and more customers and more growth for an expanding american economy. although kennedy agreed with him, heller had galbraith to contend with. every now and then his shadow would fall across the white house when he'd come home to report from india. the president would say, "galbraith's been lobbying against your tax cut." i had access to the president and expressed myself with some vigor that if we passed tax cuts they would become too popular with conservatives and they would be taken up by conservatives at the cost to the expenditures that were needed on behalf of needy pe

district judge alvin heller stein ruled that the department of defense had failed to show how releasing these photos could endanger the lives of americans abroad to hash out this ruling a little bit more i want to bring in our tease lindsey france who has been carefully following this story ok lindsey first of all tell us more about these photos what are they purported to show well if they're anything like the photos that were originally leaked to the public back in two thousand and four they would depict detainees to grave facility being treated very torturously many of them appeared to be sill see some malnourished some beaten many covered in blood and their own waist some have had bags over their heads like the pictures we have seen stacked on top of each other and in other very painful looking poses and humiliating poses as well and there's two thousand of them in this trove that is being held so far so with two thousand of them yet to be released it's hard to imagine what we could next see that would be worse than what we've already seen and as i understand it there's been a huge s

walter heller chaired kennedy's council of economic advisors.ennedy was our first keynesian president. it isn't that others hadn't done some keynesian things, but kennedy did it in an avowed and perceptive way. he was very cautious at first. he finally saw a more liberal approach was needed to stimulate the economy. it took the form of a massive tax cut proposed in i962. this net reduction in tax liabilities of $10 billion will increase the purchasing power of american families and business enterprises in every tax bracket. but john f. kennedy didn't live to see his programs enacted. instead, on that fateful november day, lyndon baines johnson was sworn in as the 36th president of the united states. johnson pursued kennedy's economic proposals and pushed the tax plan through congress. how well did it work? perfectly. business week, which isn't exactly a liberal pro-kennedy publication, said it probably was the most successful tax cut in history. it came out of the textbooks. it went back into the textbooks as the fiscal measure that came closer

heller. after her we will hear from sheriff christopher schmaling. he established the first-ever domestic violence specialist position in the state of wisconsin. he has served as a law enforcement officer for two decades and resides with his family in the village of mount pleasant, and i understand that it is his son's 16th birthday today, so we are particularly grateful for his participation in this hearing. it's a pleasure to have you with us, sheriff, and i know your son must be very proud. next we will hear from justice mccaffrey who was born in belfast, northern ireland, but has called philadelphia his home since the age of 5. he's made a career of public service, serving his country as a united states marine, his city as a police officer for 20 years and his state as an appellate judge. justice mccaffrey is the liaison for problem-solving courts across pennsylvania as well as justice to the special courts of pennsylvania. he has been at the forefront of creating veteran courts across pennsylvania. and finally, already introduced by his senator,

the heller decision was landmark and i have to say i am not a person who goes around reading supreme court rulings. they are pretty boring. but this one is interesting. if you get a chance to read the whole thing it is easy to understand and interesting. they explain because a lot of people think the part in the second amendment about the accomplish -- militia -- think the guns are written for the milit militia. what the founding fathers were saying in what they wrote and their thinking was they came out from under king george and wanted to make sure no government had that much power and the deterant was to give the people the firearms. that is the intent of the second amendment. so i cannot see it ever getting through the senate. >> there is a question in the back. >> i am benjamin from michigan. it is easy to get a gun in michigan. but in a lot of colleges across the country it is very hard to carry or have a gun with you. in michigan you can have a gun with an open carry permit anywhere but colleges can prevent it, which annoys me a little bit,but would you comment on what student

amendment, $500 million to arm and train syrian rebels so they're finishing up debating, i was on the hellerlier today and they should finish a debating voting on it shortly, when i was speaking to different sources on -- general consensus among everyone is they think this likely will pass, how close a vote would be? some one i spoke to said there is a chance it may actually be kind of a close vote because you have some people that are democrats who are concerned and not necessarily supportive of this proposal of some arming syrian rebels. you also have some republicans and libertarian republicans who feel the same way and interestingly you have republicans saying this doesn't actually go far enough to achieve the goal of defeating isis so it looks like it will pass but because of those different fractions stuart: i think of you as a millennial. is there a part of view that says stay out of this, it is not our fight, it is a mess, sooner or later if we give the money and weapons they will turn around and fire at us, just stay out? as a millennial is there part of view that says stay out? >>

before i ask my questions i want to say to senator heller thank you for asking the question. there's a lot of work to do in terms of privacy and doctors knowing how to care for women. one of the barriers for women to get care is child care. if you don't have a place for your kids you don't show up. particularly for mental health it's a serious issue. i would love to work with you. thank you for being here. i want to tart with talking about the fact that the ig found several cases in which veterans face delays in care or stable care. and subsequently took their own lives. va's newest wait time data show it is takes far too long to get into care. the ig's finding said that simply meaning the wait time met trick isn't enough. veterans need to be assigned to a regular provider. they need care coordinated across the hospital and between specialists and get the type of care they need when they need it. we've been working on this for a long time now. and i want to ask you today why do you think that the va continues to struggle with providing appropriate mental health care? >> senat

mark heller, reporter at bloomberg dna. and terrence shea, former editor at hr magazine. around of applause for our head table guests. [applause] things you can count on -- there is no smoking at the national press club. [laughter] and now, [applause] now you cannot buy smokes c atvs. [applause] the second largest retail chain voluntary gave up about $2 billion in annual sales when it announced this year it would stop selling tobacco products. the company viewed cigarette sales as contradicting its plans to expand its health care business. for instance, cbs plans to expand in-store minute clinics from 900-1500 by 2017. to recently changed his name cvs health to reflect this shift in direction. the stock market seems to have reacted favorably to the changes. the price of cvs shares fell slightly the day the company announced it was going tobacco free. i saw shares were down a little bit yesterday but this week, shares were trading at their highest level this year. all these charge of changes is our speaker today, the company's ceo, larry merlo. the first person in his fami
