mr. graham. really have to dismiss it 60 thousand space we ran up a lot of expenses legally to protect our property because mr. grants submitted a survey which encroached our property by 15 inches. his building is only 23 feet 10 inches wide. i begin by he representing our group and i have my colleague here to answer questions. my wife and i have would go there since 1975. we said we would set out of the from a and let the neighbors handle it and the requests was for 2 hundred thousand that fizzed out when we were asked to support of the driveway >> can you speak closer. we actually, my wife asked for 2 hundred thousand >> 2 hundred what. >> dollars to answer mr. brands question we were negotiating. we asked we would set out and be neutral and if the neighborhood felt it was great but we would set out >> i'm sorry, i don't follow. >> we were norwalk a $65,000 supplement to have the driveway. >> so you're the neighbor of the property and your reasonable doubtably the negotiations to have the drivew

mr. graham: thank you. there is an issue facing this country that needs to be addressed firmly and decisively. i am encouraged that there is a bipartisan effort to deal with the issue. the issue is very simple: the person who's been nominated to be the u.n. ambassador for iran is a gentleman who participated in the takeover of our base in tehran and holding hostage u.s. personnel, 52, i believe, for 444 days. this is a slap in the face by the iranian government to the american people, to the hostages, and it should not be allowed to stand. senator cruz, i believe, will be offering an unanimous consent request potentially dealing with this issue, but i just wanted to rise for a few minutes and speak in support of what he is trying to accomplish in the senate, and i am somewhat encouraged that there is a bipartisan effort forming among our intel folks to deal with this affront to the american people, to all those held hostage, and basically to human dignity. the idea that the iranians would be appointing some

carrier with a russian flag which the defect is using instead of the ukrainian want this budget mr graham phillips to get his autograph and instruments for us. i was in line. beyond that i was going to russian flag reportedly giving to the radio made. it is good show for the locals. pcs. if it's any good things for them but then it will be deployed to the series. global position obama succeed. for what is the day. of course the pretty horses the interiors of the house defections. we were able to speak to someone other than to receive exactly the us forces approach. to surrender. we thought her little one who had been agreed reacted quite normally all you were a lot of very hard one it was awesome common test on his horse not to ascertain what the situation is. sundance kid i wanted to stay with attack helicopters and planes on page of monday's and tuesday's these notes the people to be deployed to iraq to be upgraded to six hits the pianist which is what i like it which is effectively a state of siege two trips there were just a recap of tolls course the fuss to the city's held by the act

mr. graham, do you think washington has a good grasp of putin's calculus and how to affect snit. >> here i think there is a problem. washington has leveed these sanctions going after putin's keenies and that as they recalculate their financial foreign, this is going to impact putin. putin in my mind is not focused on money, he is focused on russia's role in the world and ukraine is important to him. easy not going to back down because of financial hurt to his koreanies. >> you have written that to achieve its goals, washington needs to approach moscow with focus, resistance and calculated accommodation. i want to ask you about the word "accommodation." you say we should not use cold war type tactics but when you've got a leader invading some would say the sovereignty of a neighboring country, some would say that calls for more. >> the first part is focused resistance, as well. there are things we need to do to demonstrate in particular to our european allies that we are prepared to honor nato's article five, the commitment to self defense and we are doing some of that already in terms of

mr. graham: thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from south carolina. mr. graham: thank you. i have been to the canadian oil sands and i would recommend every person in this body go visit. the canadians are being very environmentally response whibl it comes to extracting the oil sands. this is an equivalent to a saudia arabian oil find from our canadian friends. here's the choice and here's the debate. they're going to sell the oil to china or they're going to sell it to us. how many people in america really have a hard time figuring out what we should do? it's not like the oil is not going to be sold and extracted from the ground. it's going to be sold, to us or the chinese. if we buy oil from canada, it's like buying oil from your cous cousin. we trade with the canadians. they're very reliable partners. there's less oil to buy from russia and venezuela and you go down the list. what's at stake here is that the people who object to this pipeline -- i don't doubt their sincerity -- they would not allow us to buy oil from anybody or explore for oil here at ho

mr. graham would say in the securities analysis there's no margin of safety for investors. >> right. >> ihink the stocks could fall another 20%, 25% easily. >> and earnings were referring, larry talked ebitda, 20%, 25%, does that sound about right? the decline of some of the names, 100 points for some of the higher flyers. in the period of some cases 10, 15 sessions. what does that tell you? >> well, what's interesting, we've seen a dichotomy in our spies with the higher multiple names hit more recently. take like a yelp or pandora down over the last month. over the last month the more lower multiple names on ebay and aol, et cetera, have fared okay, down 5%, 10% so we're seeing the die could the any myoright now of investors getting out of higher multiple names and shifting to the lower multiple. >> has the move run its course? is it going to go much further, and to what extent should we be drawing comparisons to the experience of the nasdaq collapse in 2000? >> seeing clients now start to cherry pick and look for strong names, platforms on the internet with deep moates and a lot of grow

mr. graham, who could face a runoff. the most formidable challengers stood down.w generation of republicans have moved into the senate as part of a concerted backlash against mr. obama. officials have become identified with confrontation, not compromise. more of that story is available from the new york times this morning. charlie in new york, republican line. caller: pedro, i have a serious question. why does "washington journal" take calls from these building 7 net jobs? host: we allow all types of calls to come in. that is our commitment to free speech and a dialogue about issues. it is an organized effort and we recognize that. caller: do you understand that to plant explosives on september 10, 2001, you had to know that the world trade center would be attacked on september 11? you do understand that? somebody had to know about the attacks to plant the explosives. host: anything else you would like to add? caller: you get these people legitimacy when you put them on the air. you make c-span look stupid. host: pennsylvania, karen. onler: i wanted to comment the

mr. kaluza-graham was not turned facing mr. gerlach as mr.ibed but was, in fact, shot directly in the back of the head as he was facing forward. >> reporter: the question of whether gerlach feared for his life not just the theft of his car is critical. he pleaded not guilty. if convicted he faces up to ten years in prison. for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, seattle. >> okay, let's talk about this with abc's chief legal affairs anchor, dan abrams. really sort through this because this is a tricky case. >> it is because as a legal matter, this self-defense claim is pretty weak, right? the idea the guy is driving away in his car. it's a dirty car, all sorts of stuff in the back of the truck which probably prevented him at least the prosecutors say from actually seeing what the guy was doing who was driving the car. so the notion that he actually saw him turn around, point his finger or thinking he had a gun is unlikely. so where does that leave us? it's still a really hard case to get a conviction. so despite the fact that it

mr. graham's life is coming up. >>> and more on the real life drama for johnny depp.time to shop for car insurance today? yeah. i heard about progressive's "name your price" tool? i guess you can tell them how much you want to pay and it gives you a range of options to choose from. huh? i'm looking at it right now. oh, yeah? yeah. what's the... guest room situation? the "name your price" tool, making the world a little more progressive. >>> welcome back. time for news by the numbers. first up, 51 years is how long ago the corvette 06 convertible was released. can you believe that? i got to tour the corvette factory. it's fantastic. a new 2015 model will hit showrooms early next year. >>> and next up, 5.28 per pound. the highest cost of beef due to growing exports. >>> and $300,000 is how much a squirrel caused to an indiana community center getting into the electrical equipment causing a power surge to damage the heating and cooling system. anna? >>> now billy graham's grand children have put together a new book to include hundreds of comments from ordinary people who

mr. morell and the interface that senator graham and senator and ayotte had with him.n deputy director of the cia who now works for an affiliated organization with hillary clinton, he didn't tell us the truth about who did change the talking points. he said the fbi did it. it wasn't. he was the one. and there was -- at the end of the day, it was people in the white house that put the final touches on the talking points which were absolutely false. the station chief in libya sent a message, not slash not a spontaneous demonstration. >> here's what the house speaker told megyn kelly the other night. >> there's nobody, nobody more determined to get to the truth than i am. these committees all have subpoena power. at this point in time, i see no reason to break up all the work that's been done and to take months and months and months to create some select committee. >> now, are you -- what is the reluctance of speaker boehner? have you talked to him about a select committee on this issue? >> i've talked to him about it but obviously he doesn't maybe share the view. we thin

mr. morell don't know what's going on. >> senators ayotte, graham and mccain put out a lengthy statement.dn't buy the testimony today and said quote this looks an awful lot like misleading congress. >> well, it was and i think morell actually admitted when he said that he sat by clamp when clapper when asked who changed the talking points clapper said i don't know who changed the al qaeda reference. clapper said i don't know. morell is sitting right there. he not only knows, he is the guy who does the majority of the cuts. he does nothing. he says i should have said. well, the fact is by not saying he deliberate bradley allowed congress to reach a false conclusion and that sort of changes the nature of oversight. it turns it into a prosecutorial adventure. democrats complain they are being tough on the witnesses. if the witnesses are going to play by the book and not enlighten the committee as to what they know, unless nailed on the perfect question, you are going to get this kind of withholding evidence and misleading testimony. >> quickly, steve? >> yeah, i think one of the interesting

graham. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> to all of us, i think heartbroken, ft. hood going through this thing twice. so the whole nation is thinking about the army today, and particularly those at ft. hood. but as we move forward, dylan, with this problem, do you think the 1992 d.o.d. regulation prohibiting personal possession of firearms on installations should be revisited? push review about one way to deal with a tax like this. is to have installations with people, are armed and can fight back. what's your view of that? >> i believe that we have our military police and others that are armed. and i believe that's appropriate. and i think that i believe that that allows us the level of protection necessary. although we carry arms quite regularly overseas on a regular basis, i believe in the united states, it's more appropriate. >> i would ask you to keep an open mind, because in a deployed environment, everyone has a weapon. it's a pretty stressful place in iraq and afghanistan. i think people have been responsible in the military. and as i remember, my last vis

graham said? >> i believe that every child deserves a mom and a dad. i have two children i adopted from a russian orphanage. i see the way that mr. tin has used russian orphans as pawn. there are children in orphanages all over russia who are waiting for parents. i agree with reverend graham that a child needs both a mom and a dad. >> by the way, the social science on this is clear. this isn't about vladimir putin, what's best for children here in the united states. a child who grows up in a home without a mother and father present, and they both very unique socializing roles, they're nine times more likely to end up dropping out of high school. >> and the fact that people are willing to take these children and raise them and raise them in a loving way is clearly better for these children. >> would you agree with that, would you rather have a child sitting in an orphanage than have gay parents? >> i think the social science isn't in on same-sex couples. i think the law has every right to set an ideal. but the ideal is a mother and a father to raise children. >> first of all, that ideal isn't true in all kinds of families. the divo

graham. >> thank you, madam chairman. mr. cohen, how would this potential merger affect the south carolina market? >> so, senator, good morning. south carolina is one of the states actually where comcast and time warner cable both have a presence. it is a state that actually demonstrates the lack of competitive overlap between the two, although we are both in the state and we are in different parts of the state. so i think that south carolinians would gain the benefits of the investment, faster internet, better video experience. rollout of the x-1 platform. better tv everywhere experience. and i think south carolina is a state where bringing the two cable operators together will provide a more unified experience in the state. although we will continue to compete. and you know the state well. we'll continue to compete with directv, dish, and at&t as major providers in the state of south carolina. >> we don't compete with comcast in south carolina, is that correct? >> that is correct. do you agree with what he just said about t

graham. >> thank you, madam chairman. mr. cohen, how would this potential merger affect the south carolina market? >> so, senator, good morning. south carolina is one of the states actually where comcast and time warner cable both have a presence. it is a state that actually demonstrates the lack of competitive overlap between the two, although we are both in the state and we are in different parts of the state. so i think that south carolinians would gain the benefits of the investment, faster internet, better video experience. rollout of the x-1 platform. better tv everywhere experience. and i think south carolina is a state where bringing the two cable operators together will provide a more unified experience in the state. although we will continue to compete. and you know the state well. we'll continue to compete with directv, dish, and at&t as major providers in the state of south carolina. >> we don't compete with comcast in south carolina, is that correct? >> that is correct. do you agree with what he just said about t

mr. chairman i wanted to offer it and withdraw them. >> thank you senator graham. let's recognize senator rockefeller and i wanted to know i want to work closely with you on this issue as part of the broader tax reform issue. this whole question of how we are going to make sure that young people kids have that latter of edward -- upward economic mobility is very important. senator rockefeller. speedo wanted to congratulate mr. chairman senator brown something which i have always been reluctant to do but which i will do because he's truly has earned it and he certainly has. it's interesting how pieces of legislation which appear to be relatively new or obscure the child tax credit didn't exist until 1991 when we came out of the national commission on children. but when you add the child tax credit to the earned income tax credit just those two things both somewhat obscure to the average american goes to constitute the largest and type poverty program in our country. >> well said senator rockefeller. senator kcc few can top that. >> i can't. two reasons for seeking r

have asked about and the first thing was about what senator graham was asking about the wireless competition and i guess i will start with you mrkimmelman. in the antitrust subcommittee hearing that senator lee and i recently have been wireless competition witnesses agreed that wireless is out there but it is not a substitute for wireline so when there was discussion about what he can have these alternatives with wireless do you think that is true in a big way? >> i would like that to be the kassinger klobuchar. professor yoo indicated that the speeds are increasing and the services that are. the technology is better but when you look at the price for the major wireless providers with their data cap for wireless compared to comcast price for example the price for the same amount is about 10 times higher. that is not what i would usually think of as a good consumer savings. >> do you mean to get that high-speed? >> that's exactly so we are hopeful that will be the future but again as professor yoo has admonished in being more careful about what conditions we put in transactions with predictions to the future i would say we have

mr. coons: i'd like to thank my colleague for joining me in this colloquy. on manufacturing more broadly and more specifically on this bill. i'm grateful for the leadership of senator stabenow and senator graham as the cochairs of the senate manufacturing caucus have shown and on this particular bill the passion and the perseverance that senators brown and blunt have shown in bringing this great idea into legislative form and in advancing it. there are so many other bills that we can and should take up that will bring strength and vitality to the american manufacturing sector, but it is my real hope that s. 1468, the revitalize american manufacturing and innovation act will be the next in a series of important bipartisan manufacturing bills that we will take up to make sure that we're doing our job to help grow high-quality american jobs. with that, madam president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the chair was in error in striking down amendments 2877 and 2878. those amendments are reinstated. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from virginia. mr. kaine: madam president, i rise to talk a little bit today about the affordable care act and its benefits to a

mr. graham: mr. president, if i could just have one minute? the presiding officer: the senator from south carolina. mr. graham: i would just like to recognize this is a very important moment for the united states senate to speak with one voice at a time when i think it matters. to the hostages, former hostages and their families, we heard you. senator cruz heard you, i heard you, our friends on the other side heard you. so it's good to note that the senate is listening to people who suffered in the past from this regime in iran. to senator leahy, menendez and schumer, thank you very much for working with senator cruz so we could have this moment. i will do everything i can to get the house to act accordingly. at the end of the day, it's very important that the iranians not mistake how we view them. we have had our differences about syria. we have had foreign policy disputes between the administration and republicans and sometimes democrats regarding how to move forward in the world, but this is a unique moment when all 100 senators support the
