the fattah defense team and the lawyer for herbert biederman. closing arguments will be presented for fattah tomorrow. they spent close to three hours connecting the dots in the case that took more than three weeks to present to the jury. kravitz told the jury, quote, when fattah calls your number, you step up and run the play. he said fattah couldn't accomplish anything without those who worked under him. he told the story about the illegal million dollar campaign loan. when he needed money to bail out his son's college debts, he stole it from campaign accounts and leaned on a wealthy friend to give him bribes. the government lawyers are said to have destroyed fattah's career. there's not an e-mail or letter to link fattah to the alleged crime. the defense attorney said if the government didn't present it, then it doesn't exist. one of many reasons he urged the jury to come back with a not guilty verdict. now fattah's friend herbert biederman is on trial accused of bribing the congressman. he told the jurors biederman is

and he and president george herbert walker bush did just that. a higher percentage of people affected with executive action then with president obama. i don't know what that tells you but nonetheless, i, i think the election will help that because it has evoked such a high registration of people in the community that would be asian, pacific american, hispanic, african, caribbean, all kinds of immigrant circuitry affected by. >> so you don't think these programs not going into effect will deenergize? >> no i think it's an energizer. i think it's an energizer. to the contrary think it's an energizer. i would see things a little would see things a little differently. i think it's an energizer. it says that the president did with the president by law by precedent had the right to do. a court says will be full-court and we really do need comprehensive immigration reform. you're talking about in this respect, we just had meetings with tech, every group that you meet one way or the other keeps talking about the need for comprehensive immigration reform.

herbert williams made millions on this invention. he had little college background.s a dropout. he built boats. he was a hands-on guy. he was a crab fisherman in alaska. a lot of different jobs. fished for turtles in florida, which i'm not even sure what that means. his cv runs the gamut. certainly no official schooling. lisa: and no turbines. david: he's made a lot of money off of this. he has had investors in his newest project as well. describe where he works. it is a pretty big compound. reporter: that's right. the ocean turbines started generating revenue for his small company. he put that into a wind turbine company that is a whole different take on the typical three-bladed turbines you see out in wind farms. these are very much like an ocean turbine. 10 blades. looks like the spokes of a bicycle wheel. the u.s. department of energy has been very interested in this technology. they say it ports well to rural areas and gets small gusts and low altitude and can be used to pump water, run tools, generate electricity. and so his vision for that is to one day have t

herbert hoover, who was president before roosevelt, got five thousand letters a week. that sounds like a lot. franklin roosevelt got 50,000 letters a week. went up bay factor of ten. there were so many letters in fact, they actually had to hire 70 people just to handle all this mail. during the great depression it was sort of a -- kind of a minijobs program when you think about it. here's the typical letter in fact, from one man who wrote the president, in simon miller, and he wrote, and i'm quoting here, i want to thank you for your visit at 10:00 sunday night. i can see you in the big armchair in any living room, pipe in mouth, talking on the crisis that confronts us all, telling me in words i can understand, what you have done and the reasons for your action. you are the first president to come into our homes. until last night, to me, the president of the united states was merely a legend, a picture to look at, but you are real. quite a letter. and he got those by the truckloads. so i think to reach people like that, to make a difference in one person's life, like f

would you rather quote herbert hoover or franklin delano roosevelt? [applause] would you rather quote richard nixon or john fitzgerald kennedy? [applause] the republicans have always been the party of privilege, but this year their leaders have gone even further. in their platform, they have repudiated the best traditions of their own party. where is the conscience of lincoln in the party of lincoln? what's become of their traditional republican commitment to fiscal responsibility? what's happened to their commitment to a safe and sane arms control? now, i don't claim perfection for the democratic party. i don't claim that every decision that we have made has been right or popular; certainly, they've not all been easy. but i will say this: we've been tested under fire. we've neither ducked nor hidden, and we've tackled the great central issues of our time, the historic challenges of peace and energy, which have been ignored for years. we've made tough decisions, and we've taken the heat for them. we've made mistakes, and we've learned from them. but w

he buries the herbert theoretically. what do we say about the new deal?very briefly, it was just by and large economic failure but a political success. it also brought a wide array of policy intellectuals into the political arena particularly notable raymond, fÉlix frank and the new deal had little intellectual policy coherence. did not end it, but it provided much needed relief in the form of public work's jobs for millions of americans, with projects arranged with enormous hydroelectric dams to sidewalks in small villages, no matter if the jobs were temporary, no matter that they were usually controlled by local democratic party officials, handed out as a form. i grew up in the small town in southern missouri. new deal agencies built a new school building for the town. that building, i think, is still in use. they built a bridge across a local stream at the south end of the town. the bridge is still there built by the federal emergency relief administration. other projects were maybe more questionable. a fair amount of money went into kansas city where

under george herbert walker bush, there were 40, and now more than -- first 40 under george herbert walker bush. more than 100 in the clinton administration. more than 200 during the george w. bush administration. and now there are reports of nearly 400 under the current administration, plus as many as 200 contractors. this tremendous growth has enabled a troubling expansion of the n.s.c. staff's activities from its original strategic focus to micromanagement of operational issues in ways that are inconsistent with the intent of congress when it created the n.s.c. in 1947. it's gotten so bad, so bad that all three leaders who served as secretary of defense under the current administration recently blasted the n.s.c.'s micromanagement of operational issues during their tenures. former secretary of defense leon panetta. leon panetta has come out publicly in favor of shrinking the n.s.c. staff, saying he thinks we can do the job better with fewer people. in short, the n.s.c. staff is becoming increasingly involved in operational issues that should be the per view of senate-confirmed individua
