you know, i told him, i said lord, what did i do to deserve such cruelty, such miscarriage of justice, but it happened. it had happened for a reason. no, sir just for the season. but i went on to the pen, and while i was, you know, serving my time, about 94 days later, i was walking through the central prison and i happened to notice correction officer escorting another inmate that caught my attention. i glanced up at him, and i said he looks familiar, but i proceeded on to my destiny. and later that night, i pulled out the photo, composite sketch, drawing, with the guy that committed on jennifer. two days later, i noticed the guy back out in the population, i approached him. i was in the middle of a hand ballgame and i had someone to relieve me so i walked up to him, i said excuse me, where are you from 7? he said i'm from burlington. i said you look like a composite sketch of someone that committed the crime, did you commit the crime, he denied it. time went on buy, i got a job in the kitchen, sweeping the floor, serving food, i became the dietician and it guy eventually came to wor

[laughter] and i will tell you that nancy has grown up, and she is not a victim. [laughter] i often talk about the importance of this because the questions of people living with cancer bombarded sometimes with sobering diagnoses, with pitying looks, with some pretty somber statistics now and again, and you're undergoing physical and mental burdens of the treatment and the disease both of which are sometimes overwhelming, sometimes they are so encumbered that it's hard for them to muster the strength of spirit to recognize they still have silver in their hands, and that's their own human dignity. but you know sometimes it's even harder than that, you have more taken away than just, you know, the years at the end of your life that you think, well, this treatment is going to at least give you, that you think you've got a difficult path during the treatment, but you're going to have the years after it. but some people face greater hu

those were pretty turbulent years with civil wars in central america, drug lords, drug cartels and not a hint that attending the school was dangerous. the school is supposed to be a model for transparency, accountability and respect for civil society and human rights. what signal does the school send to its latin american counterparts about our democratic values when it denies access to information that has been available for decades? vote to restore public access to this institution. vote for this amendment. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. mcgovern: i reserve my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from california. mr. mckeon: mr. chairman, i rise in opposition to this amendment and yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mckeon: mr. chairman, i rise in strong opposition to this amendment. while my colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle will argue that disclosing the personal information of the students and instructors at whinsec is in the name of transparency and good oversight, what they're actuall

when the lord calls me home, whenever that may be, i will leave with the greatest love of this countryptimism for its future. you will remember we bid him a final farewell five years ago right here in this capitol. with the deepest respect and with love and yes, with tears. and with a renewed appreciation of what he had done for the us of america. that shining city on a hill that he saw so clearly and that he loved so very dearly. and now fittingly comes this magnificent bronze statue of this great american. it will stand forever as a silent century in these hallowed halls to teach our children and our grandchildren about that which once was and to inspire them with visions of that which can be again today, tomorrow and through generations. may god bless america and ronald wilson reagan. thank you.

imagine, if you will for a minute that you are that father or mother or that family and lord forbid that something happens in that family that puts them at risk, and all of the sudden, they find themselves without the ability to care for their child or spouse, and none of us want to be in the position and none of us want to see our constituents in that moment. we won't solve that problem, obviously if we pass a bill five minutes from now. i realize that there are provisions that don't kick in immediately, and i realize that it won't solve the answer immediately, but the idea to come up with some kind of security that the family is counting on us is something we

conditions than lloyd -- lords daily and fought for a way of safety and there were big changes in the safety and mining agency and fought to get new money for diseases and i believe he and so many other leaders who fought for good conditions in what is a very dangerous industry deserve a wholesale gratitude on everybody on all sides of the house. >> each week the house of commons is in session, we air prime minister's questions, live on c-span 2 wednesday morning at 2k7 a.m. -- 7:00 a.m. eastern and 4:00 pacific and sunday nights 9:00 p.m. you can visit c-span.org to watch past sessions of prime minister questions and find hillary clinton links to the websites -- and find links to the websites of the house of commons and prime minister. >> tonight on c-span, remarks from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on establishing a palestinian state. and former house speaker newt gingrich at the annual g.o.p. fundraising dinner. later on "q&a" larry arnn, not accepting state and federal funding. >> tomorrow on c-span 3 a look at efforts to prevent polio around the world and a look at ef

intellectual framework, as i understand it outside of the trip to the industry from the late 1970's of lordswas that basically the dead hand of the state would stifle innovation, excessive regulation would stifle regulation and if you let the industry sort out its own problems and natural market mechanisms, that the ebb and flow of the markets and competition would provide a self-correcting mechanism, and sure you might have periods but that would correct itself naturally in the market would find its own rhythm. the problem with that was really twofold. which one, when you have perhaps-- when the credit derivatives were part of the overall financial system, then perhaps he could afford to have a few ads and flows without destabilizing all a bit. initially, when derivatives were developing in the 1880's, 1890's you were talking about numbers which now seem to be small. the problem came when the expansion became so explosive that in a sense the glade stopped being just a small part of the financial system and began to percolate through the system and it with that segment if you had ebbs and fl

lord rothschild called it the eighth wonder of the world and einstein said it is one of the laws of physics that is as powerful as any that he knew of and that is money global supply according to the interest-rate being charged. i like the rule of 72. if you take the amount of compound interest your investments will garner and divided into 72 you will learn how many years it take to to have your money doubled. if it doubles four years then goes aides then another 12 ended doubles every period of time that it goes through. when a person gets to a certain age before long they will have much more work many they realize is possible that is the way to become a millionaire not to hit the lottery or a jackpot or to take radical moves in the stock market. in addition to all of these things their needs to be an investment portfolio and where they put their money or how is it allocated, i go into some detail in this book. what the appropriate balance of somebody's money and the other thing, one to determine, so much goes to bonds, equities, foreign, large cap, a small cap, all of those other things i

lord knows i'm a democrat. i have never voted for a republican in my life and i probably never will. but i'm disgusted with the polarization and incivility that has come to define our politics and i deeply believe that the daunting challenges that president obama faces and america faces today require a transformation transformational post-partisan solutions that one party alone cannot produce. history has shown time after time the transformational reforms most often come with bipartisan support. social security. the g.i. became. the civil rights act. reforms that fundamentally transformed american life all passed congress with huge majorities of members of both parties. my old boss ed muskie taught me about that. he had a rule. we could never introduce a piece of major legislation without having a republican as the principal co-sponsor. that doesn't mean we can't argue with the other party about whose ideas are best. we certainly can do that and i love to do it. but we also can do it civilly. so, in the end we

and apparently -- the lord doesn't believe that's normal either because he said man shall not lie with man. so that's how i feel about it. host: woodbridge, virginia. caller: i'm very disappointed in the media, how they're more or less pushing obama to say something. i think he's taking the exact right course as to stay out of iran's business. we enough going on here in the united states. we don't have the most perfect election that's held here. and we need to clean that up. you have people talking about acorn and different things like that. and i think the president is doing marvelous. and we just need to give him time to work everything out. this country is in a great mess and it didn't happen overnight or 150 days. republicans, democrats, and independents just need to take a deep breath and let the president with his great intelligence straighten this country out. host: who in the media is pressing the president to say something? >> i look at wolf blitz and it seems it's a rampage from one station to the station. the president needs to say this or he needs to say that. then i watche

. >> the man credited with protecting gordon brown from a cabinet to is lord mendelson, the business secretary. he was rewarded with a beef up apartment in the title of first secretary of state. >> we need to unite behind the prime minister. he is by far, the british -- the biggest figure in british politics. he will lead in economic times -- i can see the cabin of falling behind the prime minister. >> the prime minister's position was looking more secure as journalists are arrived for a press conference. about 10 minutes and, this happened. >> caroline floods just resigned. she came out and gave you her full support last night. what does that say about your other ministers, are they going to resign now? >> caroline has been a very good minister. >> caroline fudges a very close friend of the former committee -- she has been very harshly treated by the prime minister. >> we understand extreme pressure from downing street. caroline flint given extremely supportive interview. it seemed like she was expecting promotion. her resignation letter was devastating. she wrote, you have a two-ti

single czar in 1919 in ukraine, that it would be the rural people who would rise up, slaughter their lords but these guys believe that if enough of these guys kill people, that pretty soon other people would get the idea and kill others and then one day people would say why do we have capitalism, why do we have the state? why do we have this duo? history, in 1500, there are 1500 states about. some note bigger than the archbishop's gardens. in 1871 and in 1914 there was about 37, and there. so the consolidation of state powers. and a cardiff, not violent anarchism but there was a lot of response to this. i'm not an anarchist. my michigan maes days inn bluejays. but it was a logical response because day, you know, the state was protecting these people and the third republic was full of corruption. the scandal were the sudden loss of president of france was involved. kind of like american politics. in many ways and so it was so corrupt that anarchism for many people, and there weren't many as nearly anarchist in france as other places. it was primarily a world phenomenon. most anarchists in f

not a single answer in iraq, not a single answer in afghanistan, and not, lord knows, a single answer to the economy. it does not mean there are not answers. but not mean people cannot disagree about practical steps to take. but the idea that you can wave a magic wand and everything will be ok is just simply not realistic. my sense of the president is back -- and as a candidate -- he made a bet that we would appreciate a president's who would play a role not unlike franklin roosevelt's role, being a kind of national headmaster, a kind of teacher and professor, explaining things, giving us credit, to some extent, that we can follow along. i think one of the things that president would get in trouble -- and if you think back through history, this is universally true, i think -- president to get in trouble are those who think they can pull something over on the american people, that they are smarter somehow than the people, and the president to do well are those who trust the people. winston churchill's father, who was an erratic politician and best in victorian england used to say, trus

now my boss said, my lord, we can't do that i said be for it, maybe they'll give us the doctors. now that's kind of thing that has happened down through theiers. now when my amendment comes up, i'm going to give some specifics and some of my conversation with kerry weems who used to be, i don't know if he's still around, the head of cms. what worries me is that okay, i am delighted to learn from my distinguished colleague and my very good friend that we have set up a new agency, if you will, to do this kind of research. i'm not sure that we have the people or the expertise to do it, but yet they contract out to nih, fine. but nothing will protect us from the fact that basically cms can use this language from cer and the thing that worries me is that this is going to become as i've sai a tab will the coming down from mount h 2 s that will envelop all of health care, these are going to be the principles. if you're senator enzi's doctor and you get outside that pasture, that decision again is rationing. i have personal experience with this in that regard. so that's my concern and i'

and it went off like a bombshell when the kennedys lord that people like billy graham and were organizing millions of protestants around the country to vote against him. kennedy actually had an informant inside that meeting who told him and told his campaign all that nixon was doing, and they've were actually terrified at what they learned. it was a week later that kennedy made his famous houston speech, in a panic. today we remember that famous houston speech and when we think of kennedy in a campaign that's the speech we think of. it was the speech he did not want to make. it's one he gave out of fear and desperation in response to what they were doing behind the scenes. >> what was the crux of that speech? >> you can vote for me because i'm a democrat. i will represent all americans. i happen to be catholic, but i will not be the catholic candidate for the presidency. norge, the pope will not pick up the phone and the morning and give me my marching order. there would be different areas from the church. i'm not going to give federal aid dollars, $8 to parochial schools. and if a foreig
