you will hear from mr. allen back in a moment. their offerings are changing the game in our parks and communities around the country literally as we speak. the popularity of these programs which i won't steal scott's thunder on have been tremendous and nfl is a proud supporter of usa football and will continue to be all they do to change the game. we're proud of his work particularly. in addition the nfl used as, used as inspiration, a young child name zachary who was a 30-year-old youth football player in washington state several years ago who suffered catastrophic injuries from his sport. he was returned to play too soon after suffering a concussion and zachary struggles still with the challenges that come after that. his advocates were able to pass a youth concussion law in washington state which our commissioner said we will replicate in all 50 states around this country to make sure all youth sports, not just football are played for safely. that kid and their coaches are aware of risks of concussion. that they're removed from

in other words, the guy screen right, mr. allen, joined the guy, mr.s is just a little too cozy. tony schaefer who used to be with the c.i.a. was with us earlier on "fox & friends" and said this about that line - up. >> follow the money. this is where i think it all starts to come together. there is real issues relate to go who did what regarding the talking points and it's clear morell had a key hand in this. >> you got to accept the reality for what it is. you can't explain this away. you can't one day pick up and be work for the very guy that was supposed to be critical of you and get paid a lot of money to do it. >> i didn't listen to the whole interview, but i watched the tape on-line. if you have mike allen, chief of staff with chairman rogers and suddenly out of nowhere, the former f.b.i. guy, mr. investigator, pulls his foot off the gas, doesn't seem curious about the benghazi situation. could his chief of staff been saying, there is nothing here, just an unfortunate situation of events because in his connection outside. why is chairman rogers

halperin, the play on veep i'm sure you heard that mr. allen. let's talk business.ry reid said democrats are holding talks about a vote to prove the keystone pipeline. is that actually going to happen? >> they're actually going to have a vote. and this is a real surprise. it's a sign of how worried democrats are about the senate. yesterday, i was out at the milken conference in los angeles, did a poll, including a lot of democrats, asking them what they thought the chances were republicans could take every 0 the senate. nate silver said around 60%. dave leonhart said around 61%. the democrats i talked to said it's more like 60%. they are worried about a republican senate. so you have harry reid saying he might take a vote on approving the keystone pipeline. what's not determined is, will this be something that's binding will this be more a sense of the senate, as they call it. but the key fact, 11 senate democrats have signed a letter to president obama saying they want him to approve it by the end of may. there's a bunch of states where democrats are in danger wher

>> now, the president's last stop before heading to asia was oso washington, where 41 mr killed in a mudslide. allen schauffler, who has been covering the story joins us from oso washington. obviously we are having difficulty with allen schauffler's audio, we'll try to get back to him in a little while. the disaster in washington triggered memories of another deadly mud slide, john hendren reports, people living in a californian community fear it could happen again. >> it took 15 seconds for the earth to swallow the latter of la conchita. in january 2005 a 100 years tomorrow, 26 inches of rain in 16 days unloosed the hillside. mike bell remembers a mountain of earth descended on the town. >> it breaks our heart for the people in washington. we absolutely understand how helpless you feel, knowing that relatives and friends can be buried up there, and you don't know where they are. >> the la conchita slide stopped at ernie's house. >> that is your house there. >> yes, this one here right across the street. >> so these - that one is crushed here. these are gone. >> yes. >> these are gone. this one here

one of them is that the same act or transaction, and that is what we have allened in the case, both the mr and mr. underwood were killed in a short period of time, and that makes it eligible for capital murder, and in kansas, that has to be charged even though two people died, it is charged as one count of capital murder, and then there is a separation of time and that is when teresa lomano was murdered and that is why there is a second count of pred meditated murder. >> and that is why it is tried on all three deaths? >> well, two counts, but the first two deaths by mr. c oshorn and mr. underwood would be really one count, and so we would go for one charge under those two deaths. that is how the capital murder charge is laid out in kansas. >> and it seems that there was an indication that whoever is going to at this point shows that the perpetrator acted alone or some associates involved? >> i think that the chief indicated, i believe it was yesterday, that we are still actively investigating this case. i know that the federal and the local law enforcement is doing that. at this time, we

allen schauffler is in arlington washington. good to see you. who is mr obama meeting in washington? >> tony, we expect that within a couple of hours time he'll meet with residents and first responders in the river squally here. people that live in the town of oso, the town hit so hard. he'll meet with the families of victims, and some folks working on the mud slide. he landed in everett, south-west of here, 40 minutes ago. we expect choppers to go overhead so the president can get a tour of what is happening. all the folks understand that at some point it will be time to focus forward and deal with the chaeption ahead -- challenges ahead. with the president visiting, it underscores that this happened a month ago, and the time to look at the future is year. >> marla lives on the edge of the slide, leaving her home undamaged but her world torn apart. >> it will never be the same. i have to accept that. everybody is trying to move forward. it will be different. everything changed. landscaping is changed. there's friends we won't see. >> a 1-lain access road

mr prudent. if you were from and enjoy a website because of what i can promise that he was a bit of attention from us. ray allen and flight drink too many. he is not only with a terrible hangover but also suspected of terrorism. it had sought to calm the forced on a map to. for forty one percent of serious chemical weapons were to be destroyed. sunday's deadline of the body overseeing the process is praise damascus with some great to talk to god is the elimination of its special quilt maker of the joint commission sigma chi x is the securities it continue cause of concern i've always enjoyed constructive cooperation the authorities significant investments have been a bit of time effort technical level the political level so fun beginning. until today. i think we've seen very steady progress thanks to them a good collaboration and ultimately also the government are taking this program of chemical weapons elimination seriously and obesity meeting to see it through to the tnt as a country of more that the security situation is very full trial. qantas and it shifts all the time security remains always a challenge.

as mr said he doesn't need an image insisted because he's not represent the moment as a testament and telling you there is no need in the nineteen sixty one to miss autumn. jamie lynn allen eighteen to twenty apartments within the church supported and operation in the east basically typically is tested ukraine into what intellectual talks with russia the usa and the to which it with those guidelines were clearly going to copy think ossetia has happened that. in that it cannot be discussed in the east sea off the dial into equity and constitutional fight it because it is wise to tenants all the bad timing and ukrainian people in the openings to guarantee my chosen immediately after the most part taken from the one of the talks was discussed with security forces is in treatment of citizens to the army which of these did not cost only two hundred hp almost one hundred populations and economies would become the language of our existence. after that went up to the summit spits at negotiations meant to wash the cup machine guns. this is that it is an approach to everyone. the station just as you can see him there. i'm in a position of the russian propaganda and again it might

first of all, mike allen, who used to work for mr. rogers, is screen right.o the lead investigator on the benghazi stuff for a while. mike morell used to be the deputy director of the c.i.a. he's in the middle. he gave testimony last week that was favorable to, among other people, hillary clinton, who by the way, screen left, is pretty much the gate keeper for her. they all work together now in a place called beacon global strategies. isn't that cozy? >> and it comes into question why the talking points were what they were, were they changed and why weren't they accurate, right? so the questions are there. brian, the answers, you seem to try to get some today from mike rogers. >> steve had a source and we've also read a lot of speculation and said how candid could mike morell be, being that he did play a role in changing the talking points and it did work out better for the state department headed by hillary clinton, could he have an agenda? the fact that he got a job with hillary clinton's main operator, is there a nexus there? so i asked rogers how he feels

mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize the career of two extraordinary indiana state legislators, senators allen paul and johnny nuget. these two close friends have served the state of indiana for decades, and i want to personally thank them for all their hard work and recognize them for their many accomplishments. first, let me tell you a little bit about senator allen paul. allen volunteered for the u.s. army in 1967, and is a decorated vietnam veteran. he was awarded the bronze star for saving a man's life and also earned a combat infantry badge in four -- and four air medals after being honorably discharged from the army. allen was elected to the state senate in 1986 where he was a tireless advocate for military members and their families. he passed important legislation to help veterans receive a college degree and supported legislation to offer in-state tuition for veterans. senator paul has a distinction of being the first legislator from eastern indiana to serve in a leadership position within his caucus. during his 28-year tenure in the senate, he served as majority whip, chairman of th

mr. sterling is emphatic that what is reflect odd that recording is not consistent with nor does it reflect his views, beliefs, or feelings." nbc's ron allenidtown, manhattan. ron, what are we anticipating? is there any leak coming out of the nba as to what we're going to hear? >> no. short answer to that, not yet. i imagine this is going to be quite a moment for the nba as an institution because there's never been anything like this that this organization has confronted. one big problem is that it's a private organization, and we don't know the bilaws and the constitution, so we don't know what's possible. you know, there's been so much talk about suspending sterling indefinitely or for a long period of time, but essentially you would be severing an owner's relationship with his property, something that he owns, a basketball team, that's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. how do you do that? how do you keep him out of the games? how do you keep him from not contacting the general manager? can you really do that? would the other owners go along with that because it sets the

allen temple church put their trust in him. lewis is accused of siphoning more than half a million dollars from those church organizations into his personal account from 2007 to 2013. >> mr. clinton is a competent and trusted employees, it's surprising to all of us. >> reporter: lewis is now on paid administrative leave as chief financial officer of the transit agency. >> we're very confidence that there are no financial irregularities with regards to mr. clinton and the agency. >> reporter: clinton stole money to pay for college for his kids, a water vehicle. lewis reassured them nothing was inappropriate. the thefts began in 2007 and was not investigated until 2013 when one of the organizations that clinton was responsible for started running out of money. >> anybody who needs help they'll do what they can for you. >> reporter: church members wouldn't comment. >> i don't know anything about it. >> reporter: officials also wouldn't continue and referred our questions to their attorney. we also weren't able to reach clip ton for comment. when we knocked on the door of his home no one answered. clinton has been released on bail. his next court date is set for may 21st. li

mr. chairman i have got to say this most upsets our public and colleagues. this budget does not allen's. it is a total fraud. it's a total fraud claim that this budget balances in 10 year. at the same time republicans hae voted more than 50 times to repeal the affordable care act. why is that true? because this budget includes all the medicare savings from the affordable care act. includes every penny of revenue for the affordable care act. that is $2 trillion in the affordable care act embedded in this republican budget. so if you repeal the affordable care act you were repealing thoe provisions. with this budget does it takes away the benefits of the affordable care act and takes with the tax credits in the provisions that plugged the doughnut hole but he keeps all the savings and all the revenue and it does not balance 10 years from now without the revenues ad savings from the affordable care act could you have to choose. no one is going to be fooled. either you are in favor of keeping the provisions for the affordable care act or you will claim a balanced budget that is just not tru

mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> that's the question former florida congressman fox news contributor colonel allen west is askingg difference here? the lack of toughness? >> i think the big difference is that you have a president in president obama that does not understand the adversary. president kennedy and president reagan understood that these are people that have a different perspective, a different way of life. it was about liberty going up against tyranny and when you saw president kennedy stand and say, we are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that freedom will flow for all people and we will go to whatever measure, then you saw president reagan stand and saying, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. president obama is looking at this from his own perspective and his own rose colored glasses. instead of realizing that vladimir putin said the number one disappointment for him of the 20th century was the collapse of the soviet union. >> he told it to president obama directly. yesterday i was talking to his former economic advisor, vladimir putin's, who worked with him up until 2005. he said, not o
