the second prisoner, donte allen, can't see mr. gray.s he didn't even know he was in there. i think what's important is to understand that what we have reported, put all the pieces together prior to mr. allen picked up there was a stop on the van because the van driver suspected, it appears suspected nothing was wrong and called for other officers to come and check the prisoner. at that point, according to police commanders those officers should have called for a medic. they didn't. they then go one way and double back to pick up mr. allen. what we have reported according to sources is that when officers opened that door, you can see them do and look in the van with the door wide open mr. gray was unresponsive. so what is it that donte allen is hearing on that part of the trip? according to medical experts, when you suffer this kind of injury, that severe neck and spinal injury which is slowly taking the breath out of you because that part of your neck the upper part of your area controls your breathing, you may suffer seizures and that

mr. allen grayson. >> thank you mr. chairman, general olson trying to piece together information from public sources, it appears to me that we're spending roughly a million dollar s dollars for every isis fighter that u.s. forces kill. does that sound right to you? >> the figure that we understand for the operational costs per day is about $8.5 million. >> am i right to think that we're spending approximately a million dollars for every single isis fighter that u.s. forces kill? >> i haven't done the math, sir. >> let's assume for the sake of the argument that that's correct? does it make sense for us to be deploying the most powerful military force that the world has ever seen? and spend $1 million to kill some man standing in the desert, 6,000 miles from the american shore holding a 40-year-old weapon? does that make sense? >> the strategy provides support to a coalition that will degrade, dismantle and ultimately defeat isil. >> what about you, general. can you think of ways we could spend less than a million dollars

i think i just heard -- i'm hearing always mr. allen here is working on iran's culture and talking with iranians and can communicate, because i think daily he has access to some literature or talking to iranians. so we need this kind of exchange right now. we should not wait until finalized even this deal. you asked me that on u.s. what can u.s. do to help to bridge this gap. i think we should start right now expanding this sort of exchange educational tourism, many things. you are not allowing iran -- u.n. ambassador exceptionally to come here and talk directly to you to the politicians. you should allow them right away to come here and daily, talk to you and also -- and you have lots of restrictions to travel to iran. you can cancel -- obama can cancel direct flights to iran from tomorrow mr. singh, and you can go and talk directly with iranians vice versa i talk to some members of parliament when they come here, like now. besides the -- i mean the world bank meeting last year. he was just criticizing the u.s. -- u.s. is here. you are

. >> what did you do mr. allen?ick cavett and his show offered an outlet. and a new pbs documentary is looking at the conflict through the lens of his talk show. mr. dick cavett is here with us. we need a show like this especially given all the conflicts going on around in the world. >> you might two or three shows to cover all the conflicts now. and our ability to get into a new war every few months. i have been emersed in watergate when i did the watergate special, and now emerged in vietnam vietnam. you couldn't do anything without it but tony randal and warren beaty, and the subject came up and you could not stay away from it. it's a mixed blessing being back in it how much we repressed and how much we may have forgotten, and at the end i had written, i thought how many americans know who won the vietnam war? we didn't? >> how many knew it was not a war? looking back on it what struck you as things that you didn't remember the same way, or what influenced you at the time versus the way you feel now? >> i had for

mr. chairman, thank you for calling this important hearing. general allen, general fantini, general olson, welcome. we are delighted that we have such a distinguished array of generals to really speak with us this morning. thank you for appearing here today and thank you for your tireless service to our country. the main purpose of this hearing is to get an update on the progress of the anti-isis coalition. and the significant challenges that remain. but we must also address the elephant in the room, in my opinion, the need for a new authorization for the use of military force or aumf. as i said again and again, this committee, and this congress have an important role to play in our foreign policy. i believe that's the case with our negotiations over iran's nuclear program. and the same must hold true when it comes to our effort against isis. congress needs to play its part. i will resist any attempt to marginalize congress fulfilling its constitutional role. by passing the new aumf, our service members, the brave men and women in uniform, risking their liv

mr. allen: oftentimes children are forced to sell the land, ending a family business, costing real jobs and destroying a family legacy. unfortunately this is not a rare occurrence. as a proud co-sponsor of this bill, i applaud my colleagues in the house for passage of this legislation, to repeal the death tax and urge quick consideration and approval in the senate. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from hawaii seek recognition? mr. takai: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. takai: aloha, mr. speaker. april is the month when pools, beaches, streams and lakes across the united states open up for the spring and summer months. as a former collegiate swimmer, i feel compelled to ensure everyone is safe in the water during the upcoming months. i am proud to introduce bipartisan house resol

fox reporter jonathan allen, co-author of mrs. clinton last year now writes the list gives a sense of how common it was for influence-seekers to give to the clinton foundation." adding "the clintons have shown they can't police themselves." aides to the presidential front-runner did not respond to a request for comment and at worst, it was incoherent. >> in january 2009 secretary -- then nominee hillary rodham clinton set forth a number of undertakings that addressed her financial interests, the speaking writing and consulting of former president clinton and certain matters involving the william j. clinton foundation and initiative. and i think, you know as we've said those commitments went beyond many of the requirements. >> reporter: the clinton foundation ceo, a former aide to secretary clinton, acknowledged this week that the foundation failed to disclose foreign government donations for three of clinton's four years at state and is now refiling tax forms for them. that followed earlier disclosures from the new book "clinton c

allen is here. [applause] >> so the question is dependent on my ability to read people's handwriting. so forgive me. mr frank how to bring the issue of voter suppression to the consciousness of the large majority of the american people. >> it is very hard to do because it is concentrated against minorities and of course voter suppression is just awful. it is republicans manipulating the rules to make it physically harder for people to vote. for instance, requiring i.d. african-american members of the house has said my mother was born in mississippi. she had no record. they didn't get noticed about people in the 20s and 30s. you &-ampersand the lines. if your precinct, cut down early voting days. as a terrible idea and then it was facilitated by the worst decision even worse to me than citizens united. it was the last for conservatives say we don't like activism. not that it was inherently on constitutional but because they make the right judgment about the criteria. it is a terrible thing and enables things to be done. what we have to do is to make it clear to buy their people environmentalists, people

allen gibbons, his brother. somebody considerably shorter than him. lighter come plegs. but it was a case of mistaken identity that wound up with him being tazed and brutalized by mr. slager. >> there are major discrepancies between what mr. gibbons says hamd to him and what the police department says. >> actually, my reporting partner interviewed him yesterday. the things that struck us was, one, officer went out of his way to say the two brothers looked just alike. that people couldn't tell them apart. he also did not does the fact that there was a woman there, the woman that reported the burglary. he was yelling, you've got the wrong guy. that's not him. officer slager also made it sound like justifiable use of force. he said he resisted him. that he refused to follow the directions of the police officer. and you know made it sound like he deserved to be tazed, or at least required to be tazed in order to subdue him. >> michael, when your colleague spoke to him, was he -- do you know if if he was nervous then. we know he was very nervous in this press conference as joy mentioned. at one point he walked out of the room because of the cameras. was he nervous when

meanwhile, james allen fox is a professor of criminology law, and public policy at northeastern university. he appears on the right side of the screen. good morning. >> good morning. >> mrstingly on thursday, in response to a column i wrote on this topic, one letter writer dared me to face the richards and tell them why i believe that tsarnaev should not get the death penalty. ironically they came out the next day and said that. the punishment should fit the crime, not the politics of the family. i think the professor will agree with me, it's really not up to the families. yes, they should have input. but they should not be the deciding factor. today, actually, in the globe we see two more of the survivors, both injured severely also echoed the sentiments of the richards. it's not up to the families. it's what is the right thing to do. the right thing here is not to execute. >> that's your point of view. professor, the point of view according to wbur poll in boston. 61% of boston residents, they prefer life in prison. my worry is if he winds up with the death penalty he'll be regarded a a martyr? >> the assumption is that those who die in a hail of bullets and are murde
