in doug casey our guest today to get his opinion on this because he is an expert in this area now mr casey i know this is an often asked question a common question but i do want to ask it why do you feel that gold miners have so underperformed the physical metal during this bull market because mining is basically a crappy business. i mean really i've been going around mining since for most of my wife's and up the price of the commodity is. fluctuates radically. or reserves you have in the rhondda are unpredictable when you're looking for more resources it's a stream way hard to find them and unpredictable if you find them you have no idea if they're going to be economic this is why you. benjamin graham for that matter warren buffet wouldn't dream of invest to going to mining stock it should inherently speculative it's not a predictable growth business and whining is becoming much much harder and much less profitable in recent years primarily because of regulations. and also because as with oil all of the easy to find deposits low hanging fruit all over the world has been flown so really pl

mr. casey: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. casey: thank you, mr. president. i rise tonight to join what so many have spoken of tonight, which is about our system of electing officials to various levels of government. in the case of the federal government, we're always concerned about how that process plays out. we live in a country where, for generations now, we've urged people to come to the public square in a sense, to vote, to participate, to use their free speech rights, their freedom of association, the rights they have to participate in electio elections. and what we're confronted with now, without the passage -- or in the absence of the passage of this legislation, is what i would say are special rules for secret money or maybe better-said, a special rules for a small group of individuals or entities for -- to spend secret money. we have in pennsylvania, as one of the buildings in the capital area, right next to the capital, the financ finance building. when it was built in the 130's, it had an inscription about precepts

mr. chairman, can i ask that you share it with all of them? >> everybody on the committee will get it. senator, thank you senator, casey, for your patience. >> mr. chairman, thank you. thank you for calling this hearing. this is a vitally important issue, and it's -- we're spending time on a subject matter i think that sometimes we don't in washington do enough of. i'm grateful to be part of this. i'm sorry i'm late. at the risk of being redundant, i'd say that redundancy is important in washington. repeating important messages is important. so i might be plowing old ground, but part of what -- part of it i think hasn't been touched on with great detail yet is, mr. mcadam, some of the statements in your testimony that i'm not sure have been put forth again. i'm reading from page 2 -- it's the first page of your testimony labeled page 2, and you say in the second to last paragraph, and i'm quoting, aside from our land-based connections with canada and mexico, more than 95% of u.s. international traffic, voice, video, internet and data travels over 38 submarine cables each the diameter of a garden hose. without these cab

mr. casey: thank you, madam president. i want to commend the work of the senator from louisiana, the senior senator, for her work on this legislation but for her many years laboring in the vineyards, so to speak, on job-creation strategies to help our small business owners across the united states. i rise to speak about this legislation as well because when i go to pennsylvania and travel across our state, i get two basic messages from the people of our state. and they're very clear about this. they say two things: work on job creation, put your time into putting in place ways to create and incentivize the creation of jobs. that's the first message. the second message is, work together, get things done, work with people in both parties to move forward a strategy to create jobs. and i think this legislation does both. it's -- it's focused on creating jobs, especially as it relates to our small business owners and their workers and their communities. but it also is a way to bring democrats and republicans together to create

mr. need $100,000, still no small amount. >> today marks up with year sense a jury found casey anthony not guilty of killing her daughter caylee. anthony is speak out. jose baez writes in his new book presumed guilty, casey anthony, the inside story that prosecutors offered anthony a plea deal but anthony adamantly insisted she had nothing to do with the toddler's dpesmght baez dropped the bomb shell about evidence discovered on anthony's family computer. >> on the day that caylee died, someone on the anthony home computer ran searches for full prove suffocation, basically suicide related searches that were done an hour after george anthony said she left her home. >> baez didn't talk about what anthony is doing now or how often he talks to her. >>> a fish so big it's literally off the charts. why the man who caught the fish couldn't get an accurate heed on how big it was. >> plus, a new test to see how healthy your newborn baby is, this one less envaisive. >> many options at the itunes store for your weather apps. we have an outstanding weather page. it's all available when we're not on air. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male a

casey. and i'm from the american friends of -- and mr. enders mentioned refugee camps in syria,, sorry in turkey are being used as a staging ground for rupp of groups and i'm wondering if the panel had any recommendations as to how we could protect the integrity of those camps as the basis for humanitarian aid rather than active variables of conflict? >> in the back here, this gentleman. >> i have heard some concerns -- >> louder. >> i have heard concerns about the command-and-control capabilities of the rebel groups and trying to coordinate through youtube and starting up radio and television students in the past couple of weeks it seems they have been remarkably coordinated especially with the assaults on damascus. has something changed and what is your impression of their command-and-control capability of this point? >> david, do you want to start off? >> do you want me to take all three of those? >> at least the first in the last one. >> as far as hezbollah, in the border areas when you are crossing from lebanon into syria there is ta

mr. anthony he didn't deny it. he didn't admit it but he didn't deny it to us. the fkt that it wasn't a recent fabrication. casey told someone years prior she was abused. there are little bits and pieces that come together that help me render my opinion. i try not to force that on people i try to give them all of the facts that weren't in the sound bite so that people can get a better understanding of all of the back stories and all of the facts are are out there. >> you can see over 400 pages long that's wasn't my goal was to get it out there for everybody. >> i am a prosecutor through and through this is a tough one for me. i was not privy to a lot of the conversations. i had a hard time with it coming in because i know at the end of the day do i know was she abused or not but no way could i see how it factored in or in any way would have led to any of the actions in the way that look it was clearly successful ini the way he presented it to the jury also his client. do i think based on what i saw on the outside, no. i wasn't sitting there in the room. i am very hard pressed to make those type of judgment calls

mr. chairman can i ask that you share it with all of us? >> everybody on the community will edit. thank you to casey for your patience. >> mr.man thank you for calling this hearing. this is a vitally important issue and we are spending time on the subject matter that i think sometimes we don't in washington to enough of and i'm grateful to be part of this. at the risk of being redundant, i say redundancy is important in washington, repeating import messages that are important so i might in following old -- part of what, part of what i think hasn't been touched on with great detail yet is mr. mcadam, some of the statements in your testimony that i am not sure have been, had been put forth again. i'm reading from page to, the first page of your testimony, labeled page two and you say in the second to last paragraph, and i'm quoting, aside from our land-based protections with canada and mexico, more than 95% of the u.s. international traffic voice, video, internet and data, travels over 38 submarine cables, each the diameter of the garden hose. without these cables capacity could carry only 7% of the total u.s. international ec

mr. ashton claimed that and it's nothing short of a bold face lie. the fact of the matter is there were none. i did discuss with casey the preliminary situation, should we even talk about it. and what we talked about then was in confidence. the bottom line is, casey has never considered entering any kind of a plea to anything other than what she pled to, the bad checks and telling the stories to the police. she is a courageous, unmoving person she knows that she did not kill that child and if there would be anything that i would have done then, that would have gotten her to change her mind and consider a plea. >> thank you again for joining me. i do appreciate it. i know there are going to be some pivotal movements going forward involving casey anthony and i hope that we can talk about those as of when they happen. >> thank you. we will. >> thank you for your time. >>> coming up next.

utah has applied for one of these child welfare waivers, and as casey stengall said, you can look it up. mr. president, i worked very hard back in the middle 1990's to get welfare reform passed. we required a work part of that. we said we're going to help you folks, subsidize you, give you help monetarily and otherwise. but at the end of a certain period of time you better have a job. and the work clauses of that bill have helped millions of people to get jobs and have the self-esteem that comes from working and supporting themselves. to have this administration unilaterally without any congressional authorization modify that work requirement is just plain wrong. frankly, i will be for flexibility in the work requirement. i will be. but i don't consider bed rest work. and you can list 10 or 15 other things that the administration has been talking about that don't qualify for work either. so this is an important issue. i hope the congress will stand up for itself and let this administration know that there's a limit to what we're going to tolerate from an executive order standpoint. mr. pres

mrs. shaheen: thank you, madam president. i'm pleased to come to the floor this afternoon to join my colleagues, senator landrieu and senator casey, in talking about the importance of addressing some of the concerns that face small business. and senator casey said something that i think is very important. he said when he goes around pennsylvania, one of the things that he hears from his constituents is that they expect us to work together here in washington, in the senate, in congress to get things done for the people of this country. i hear that from my constituents. i'm sure the presiding officer hears that from her constituents. people throughout the country expect us to work together, and they want to see us address the economic challenges that we're facing in the country. well, one of the best ways to address the fiscal issues that we're facing is to be able to grow this economy, and nothing is more important to growing the economy, to creating jobs than small businesses. senator casey talked about the recent report that came out from his congressional committee, talking about the importance of small business. the fact is th
