larson: thank you, mr. speaker. having traveled home this weekend and listened to so many back in my district, concerned about the lack of solutions and the lack of effort on behalf of the united states congress to get things done, i told them to take heart. that sometimes these things are difficult. and i added what if i tell you that we could deal with the rising cost of health care, we could bring down the national debt and do it all by providing better quality and coordinated patient centered care? that would be a good goal, they surmised. what if i toll you we could do -- told you we could do this without raising taxes or cutting medicare benefits? and what if i told you that all of this notion began from the seeds of an idea that was outgrown from the heritage foundation and it was piloted by a republican governor in a democratic state and then served as the basis of the affordable health care act which is the law of the land? the affordable health care act, in fact, what many members on my de of the aisle wou

larson explains how two try to save him. >> after falling ill, he builds a signal fire to contact theorder patrol to be saved, but no luck. >> i thought staying with him until sunrise but i thought, i have to look for help. >> he climbed the nearest ridge hoping to get a signal on the cell phone. >> i turned it on and implored, my god, help him. >> he miraculously gets a signal. soon after, two border patrol officers arrived in a truck. isaacs says he tells them they must quickly go together to rescue alphonse hill and tells him exactly where he is. instead, they arrest him and immediately take isaac to the attention, assuring him that other agents were searching for alfonzo and would rescue him. the former chief of staff of customs and border protection said it the story is true, the agents did not act properly. >> it would be unusual if they thought the person with them helping them to identify a location, then they would not take advantage of that information. that would not be normal. >> to end a half days later, isaac is deported to mexico. he immediately calls alfonso's family.

larson. if the clerk will pass that amendment now. >> without objection, reading of the men will be dispensed with. the chair now recognizes the gentleman -- his amendment. >> thank you, mr. chairman. this is a 009. two minutes become this. this amendment strikes so-called improvements in the mark to the defense nuclear facilities safety board. it plays a crucial and conducting oversight to ensure adequate protection for workers at nuclear complex i inserted my home state of washington to hanford nuclear complex. board provides biased recommendations due department of health and safety nuclear facilities section 3202 would authorize the department to require that were to provide cost-benefit analysis of each recommendation of forage. this requirement however undermines the main focus of the board. the requirement currently we can safety oversight by detracting from an undermining the board's current mission is focusing on ensuring adequate protection for the facilities of workers taking into

despite being 0 for 20, larson rarely misses an opportunity to run., he suddenly hears a crash. >> guards think it's a bomb. but the explosion is actually the sound of a 25-ton bulldozer ramming into the prison wall reducing it to rubble. >> when the wall crushed i say freedom, freedom, freedom. i run as i could. >> larsen and a herd of other inmates go through the gaping hole spilling out of the prison like air from a punctured balloon. kyle herman has never seen anything as strange as this. >> when i got here, it was total chaos. all the officers were outside running around searching for the inmates. >> a nationwide man hunt begins for the escaped inmates, five murderers, four bank robbers, and three drug smugglers. >> definitely not people that we would like to be on the outside in a society like this. >> detective herman says that the escape was well planned. a former inmate on the outside steals a bulldozer and talks to inmates on the inside with a cell phone tossed over the phone. larsen runs to his girlfriend's house in copenhagen. >> i was tir

another thing -- i was reading this study by elena larson, saying that -- she is saying that people around the world are increasingly retrieving or using the internet for religious purposes. interestingly, around the world, americans are the highest in number doing that, and for most americans, it is the women. this is something that faith leaders should take on because that door of opportunity for this market is not going to remain open too long. >> rabbi, you mentioned in your remarks about we have to work together, but also apart and alone. expand on that. what does that mean?how do you do that? circumstancest would you have to go it alone vis-À-vis religious leader -- liberty? >> in our community there are many issues where we have to thread the needle very narrowly. to take a few examples, when you spoke about the hhs issue there it does not directly affect my community, we see it as a larger issue that does. on abortion, it is not so the orthodox jewish community is against abortion on demand but it is not so simple. there is jewish law where abortion is not only permitted, it is req

host: john larson is our guest, democrat of netiquette.lso a committee member of the ways and means committee. your committee tackles the questions of the scrutiny the irs gate to conservative groups. you will be hearing from most of the groups that were targeted. why listen to them? irs targeted more than conservative groups. no matter who they targeted, it was wrong. it is egregious. i was happy we move swiftly to make sure there was a public hearing on this. i commend both david kamp and sandy levin for joining in a nonpartisan way and saying no matter who is controlling the irs, it is egregious that you would target them for their political beliefs, whether they aref progresses or tea party. it is flat out wrong. . think this can be constructed there is already movement that has been taken place. be lerner is going to stepping down. that was a good move. like all issues, this deserves the euro oversight of the united states congress. it needs toless, be assured that we're going to continue to to focus on the public trust. else, what i

larson, cut, for 30 minutes. mr. larson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr.speaker, i seek unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks and introduce extraneous materials as it relates to this special order. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. larson: thank you, mr. speaker. and i believe i'll be joined by my colleague from ohio, mr. ryan, who i will recognize at the appropriate time. but i wanted to -- we wanted to make this special order this solution-driven legislation. and the need on behalf of the united states congress to come together in a nonpartisan manner and get after the concerns that this nation cares so deeply about. most notably those as they relate to jobs and security and the well-being of the country. this evening, mr. speaker, what if i told you that we could deal with all the rising costs of health care, bring down the ational debt and do so while providing better quality, coordinated, patient-centered care? there might be some skepticism. what if i further told you that we could do it without raising taxes or

joining me now, leslie marshal, syndicated video fox host and larz larson. so cbs news first breaks this and now it's confirmed by our own james rosen. and the headline at cbs was they uncovered documents showing that state department may have covered up alleges of illegal and inappropriate behavior within their ranks. investigations influence, manipulated or simply called off at the direction of the higher-ups within the state department while hillary clinton was in charge. i mean, if this is true and this is not just cbs from a leaker, this is cbs looking into inspector general reports within the state department thrks , ths is not good, larz. >> it's not good at all. hillary clinton would like to be president of the united states. she's the odds-on favorite to be the nominee in 2016. and it looks like she couldn't even run the state department. i guess there are two ways to interpret it. you could look at it and say she knew what was going on and people below her ordered that the investigations be quashed. that wouldn't be a big surprise in the obama admi

joining me now the former advisor to senator frank lautenberg and fox news contributor and laura larsono host. the video log doesn't mean the person showed up but shulman didn't bat an eyelash when questioned why he went to the white house over 100 times and now find his deputy listed on the log over 300 times. that guy is not a tax guy, lars, he's not a tax expert. he's a political aide, a policy guy. the question is does this tie the irs to the white house more intimately than we knew and is it going to raise even more questions about who ultimately is responsible for this? >> of course, it is. megyn, that's a great grab on fox part to find out those 300 visits. you're right. the white house visitor's log doesn't necessarily indicate he went there. there's smoke here and i have a feeling there's fire down below. for decades americans have been scared to death of the irs. ask anybody if they want a visit from the irs. finally, we've got the relationship back where it should be. the irs is scared to death of what the public's going to find out about how this agency was used politically

joining us exclusively from the fund form international in monaco is jonathan larson.s fork with us. you were the consumer banking head in hong kong, you were then made the global head of retail banking and they kept you in asia. talk to us a little bit about what you're seeing in consumer banking out of asia and what the strategy is now. >> reporter: well, thank you, it's a plea sure to be on. i do look at global banking for citi but i'm based in hong kong and i operate the franchise which tells you something about the role and importance of asia for us as a company. asia generates about a third of our net income for our consumer group globally. we're the largest credit card issuer and largest wealth manner but we've had a lot of success in rolling out our smart banking approach, new distribution model using a blend of physical distribution and technology to reach out to a broader client segment the emerging affluent to combine the reach of our card business to combine with our wealth business. it's a great region for us to be in. we have a unique position across 14 c
