mr. anderson. i'm a big fan of delta. i fly it like once a week. i love the airline. >> thank you. >> i was pleased to vote for the support of the bailout by the federal government after september 11th. and i think we voted to transfer the pilots' pension obligation to the pension corporation. so we provided that help. and that's a subsidy, i would say. and we needed to do that. i supported it. i voted for it. and i think also to this day, we have passed bills that restrict and prohibit foreign air carriers from competing with delta by flying routes within the united states. that we are trying in our own way to help the private sector compete and win in a world economy. and provide the wonderful service that you do. but i, for one, am goi ing to b writing boeing and ask them to write in their own words whether they think xm bank has been helpful to allow them to compete and win. and who are their competitors and compare who they're subsidized if they are, and also to g.e., and to any small company t

mr. anderson. would it surprise you that the company has paid no federal income taxes for the last six years and is projected not for the next three years? >> are you talking -- >> mr. chairman, it's my time. not mr. anderson's? would it surprise you, mr. wilburn? >> i don't know if i'm surprised. i can't characterize it as surprise. it's new information to me. i was not aware of it. >> mr. wilburn, i'm wondering if you would consider what the gentleman to your right has repeatedly said. again, i want to interject here. my gratitude for living in a bu airplanes in the world, flown by the most competent pilots. i did 150,000 miles last year, and i didn't lose one wink of sleep about my personal safety. and i thank you all for that quite genuinely. but mr. wilburn, the gentleman to your right said repeatedly in his opening testimony -- i want to make sure i get it exactly right. i don't believe in subsidies. mr. wilburn, would you consider a subsidy that the federal government through its pension bene

mr. anderson. you passionately argue for some meaningful reforms and you talked about the handshake agreement between boeing and airbus, france. and they now agree to exclude some things. and not cover certain things if the united states completely walked away and did not reauthorize the xm bank, do you believe airbus would hold firm to the handshake agreement? kind of like the handshake agreement is like mutually assured destruction, right? they each have something and they agree not to use it. if boeing didn't have it, do you think airbus would stick with the handshaker? >> the kpler 1458 leader, john leahy at airbus said, yes. if the united states and you hear this from both sides. i've heard it from boeing and heard it from airbus. if the other side stops using xm bank financing we'll stop using that and i have that from the cheer commercial airbus of from boeing. >> i hope that's right. i'll tell you i believe that -- and i'm sending a letter to the u.s. trade representative trying to get my c

mr. anderson. i'm a big fan of delta. i fly it like once a week. i love the airline. >> thank you. >> i was pleased to vote for the support of the bailout by the federal government after september 11th. and i think we voted to transfer the pilots' pension obligation to the pension corporation. so we provided that help. and that's a subsidy, i would say. and we needed to do that. i supported it. i voted for it. and i think also to this day, we have passed bills that restrict and prohibit foreign air carriers from competing with delta by flying routes within the united states. that we are trying in our own way to help the private sector compete and win in a world economy. and provide the wonderful service that you do. but i, for one, am goi ing to b writing boeing and ask them to write in their own words whether they think xm bank has been helpful to allow them to compete and win. and who are their competitors and compare who they're subsidized if they are, and also to g.e., and to any small company

mr. anderson when you comment, i'd add something. i'll summarize the argument, since everybody else is doing it, we should, too. we've heard that in some form or fashion from a number of my colleagues here today. is that the right attitude, because everybody else is doing it, we should do it? how would you respond to that? >> in our specific instance, it's not everybody else, it's three countries. it's england, france, and germany. our three closest allies and trading partners. so in terms of aircraft finance and everything else we do with those three countries, this is something immediately solvable with respect to financing. on the broader question, i think the really broader question is, i don't think we're very good at negotiating trade agreements in our country. and while we all support i think on both sides of the aisle the free trade, what ends up happening is in our industry, we don't have free trade agreements. we have unfair trade agreements. i think the biggest thing we could do as a country is make sure our trade agreemen

mr. anderson, i thank you in particular for joining us and bringing so many of your colleagues. delta is an important and iconic company. i think you all should be congratulated for the great work you've done positioning this airline as such a successful business. and the fact all your colleagues joined you here today is a reflection of the good culture of the airline and your good leadership. so i want to make it clear that i think what you're doing is terrific. and my question is actually more of a factual question and perhaps like me colleagues i don't know the answer to my question before i'm asking it. but i was struck by this page when you put it up. and i wases very concerned by it because as i think many of my colleagues know i care deeply about three markets and believe that market pricing should

mr. anderson at delta -- none of them cost less than $100 million. so under $100 million is in the aircraft would be two and fraction of a 737. so that's what congress asks us to say. over $100 million we'd like in the federal register. i can just add, this does have an impact on our competitiveness. again. >> i'm going to lead by example and cut myself off. gentle lady from california. >> yes, thank you very much. i would like to go back to a discussion about how you guarantee and how you finance and how you supply support for insurance. the opposite side of the aisle have created these words to describe what you do that are absolutely not true. they talk about corporate welfare. in saying that, they're trying to lead the public to believe that you're giving away something to the corporate sector in foreign countries. they also talk about crony capitalism, as if you are somehow giving to persons who have some kind of connection with you or with xm, something that they don't deserve. and so i think we need to clear this up. we need to talk about the

mr. anderson? aye. and so it began. the roll call vote on perhaps the most consequential cloture motion ever introduced in the senate. would it succeed? would cloture be invoked? with the civil rights bill finally become law? as the roll call began on june 10, 1964, no one knew for sure. they just hoped. this moment was a long time coming. after me. i am betty koed. i am the senate associate historian. welcome to the third of our lunch hour talks to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the senate passing the civil rights act grea. our first covered the long, mostly unsuccessful history was civil rights legislation from the civil war to early 1964. despite promising beginnings in the 1860's and 1870's, the senate became a major stumbling block to civil rights legislation for nearly a century. in our second talk, explored how the senate's civil rights proponents of the 1960's carefully built a bipartisan strategy to get the bill to the floor to get organized to overcome a filibuster and get the minority leader on board to

mr. anderson as well. i've spoken to people, particularly those, for example, at cliff's natural resources who said, you know, they're having to cut hours for, you know, working people, single parents. and so i guess my question is one of fairness, perhaps xm -- i have no doubt it helps your business but do you acknowledge it can hurt other businesses? >> i can't speak to hurting other businesses directly. unless i have more specific example, mr. chairman. but i can say this, that it's not intent to harm anyone. but if i don't compete through the export-import bank, i know who's going to be harmed. because my competitors in foreign countries financed by their banks will get those deals. and i believe the same would happen to the aircraft industry if boeing doesn't sell those aircraft i think -- >> let me then ask you this question. fairness is a very subjective term. i understand that. >> right. >> but we seem to have a federal policy that says, you know, if you create a product, and you want to sell it to

mr. anderson point and say that's where i came up and that's the bunker i took over there.ome. >> you're 20 years old. andy was the same age when he did these extraordinary things. >> somebody my age going over, they don't know if they are coming back. we're safe over here. these guys were running head strong into fire. i couldn't put myself in his shoes and couldn't really imagine what it was like to go off to war. i'm very thankful that we still have our soldiers that are doing that today. they are young too. >> it's pretty incredible. >> it is. >> on june 6th, 1944, army private first class jim martin, a member of the 101st airborne division, parachuting into enemy lines before dawn. yesterday at the age of 93, he did it again, making his first parachute jump in 70 years. >> what made me do it today? >> yeah. >> a little bit of ego but i'm 93 and i can still do it. and also, i just wanted to show all of the people that you don't have to sit and die because you get old. keep doing things. this is interesting. it says here that a woman's sex drive increases at the age of 8

mrs. anderson, the paramedics are on their way. it was so good to hear adt at the other end.home health security services. with one touch of a button, you can summon help from anywhere in your home and talk with a trained professional who can call for emergency assistance and even stay on the line until help arrives. 1 out of every 3 people over 65 will fall this year. adt helps you maintain your independence, starting at just over $1 a day. call now to receive a free guide to independent living. i'm glad adt could call for help. so am i. protect your independence. call today for more information and ask about fall detection and our discount for aarp members. adt -- always there. >>> things got a little undercomfortable at seaworld with 40 plus people trapped on the top of the sky tower ride when the power went out. they were stuck 200 feet in the air for four hours up there. they finally worked out the problem and got them down. >> i know you want to be them. well it maybe considered by many to be a nightmare scenario. al qaeda related group isis is now declaring the creatio

mr. anderson, you are now recognized for your testimony. >> well, thank you. thank you very much for having me here today. just as a private citizen, it is a privilege to be in the halls of congress and have the opportunity, regardless of what the issue is, to participate in the process. second, it's a real privilege here to be here on behalf of the 80,000 people that i serve at delta air lines and the 165 million passengers that the delta family serves around the world with over 6,000 flights a day. i would note that we're one of the largest operators of boeing airplanes and ge engines in the world. we currently have 100 boeing airplanes on order with ge engines, and we're paying cash for them. and there are not many airlines in the world that buy 100 boeing airplanes and pay cash for them. so let's make sure we put our discussions here in context. i was pleased to hear that we're talking about jobs because i have about 100 delta employees here with me that have my back today. they're the pilots and the flight attendants that provide the best airline service

mr. anderson, i'm air force reserve, i'm a chaplain, i served in the iraq. i have been on the unfortunate end of the door that you opened, and i understand this all too well. the issues that come up for me, and some of this may be follow-up on my colleague who just mentioned, but mr. jacobsen, you brought up before the fact that they're not going back to the same afghanistan that they left, and this they would not have the probable impact they could have had then. what leads you -- what intelligence, what, you know, information, what would have you to believe that they couldn't get spun up quickly in a country that's not changed a lot in 400, 500, 600, 700 years? what would cause you to believe a that? >> congressman, in my experience in afghanistan both as an intelligence office and later on as a civilian adviser, i do believe there have been a great number of changes if just in the last decade alone. for example, i believe that most of the networks that these individuals had when they were a force fighting against the northern alliance no longer exist. man

mr. anderson and the head of the pil pilot's association both made these points that unless there is a level playing field and the exercise of one particular aspect of what you do, which is the financing of these wide body aircraft that puts our airline industry in the united states at a competitive disadvantage with foreign airlines who are able to get these wide bodied aircraft, flying these international routes that are very, very profitable. so if -- you can see the concerns that delta airlines has and the pilot and airline industry has because quite honestly unless we do something to address this, and if xm bank is being used in an unfair way to subsidize for example, the airlines in india, the other airlines that have been brought up, when they get subsidized by their government and turn around and get subsidized by you. they are able to get the planes cheaper and they can reduce their ticket prices and that makes it very uncompetitive. so what i want to do is -- as i mentioned was find a way that perhaps we can come up with some language as we move forward with this within the 90 days

mr. anderson in some detail, and i appreciate him of that. understanding sector standards, the bank is projected to lose about $2 billion. so between 14 bomb, i can do the math in my head. swings andbillion that's suggests there's a lot of comes to xm.hen it the currentve that accounting standards truly and honestly and fully account for the risk, the risk to the taxpayers of the bank's lending programmings? >> i do, congressman. my difference between, as understanding of fair value, and thatnalysis c.v.o. did, in swing assumes one large giant assumption that i believe is not true. and that is we would adjust our fear fees. our fees. we could adjust our fees make sure that we or --t a break even >> that's the only difference on it.r appraisal of dr. el men dorf, can you elaborate. >> the only estimate we've done take the structure of the programs, as they currently are so they take the fees as they currently stand, they take xm's banks projectionings of the on.very rates and so if the programs were to channel, withthe would end up possibly di

mr. anderson having a comprehensive understanding of that as opposed to members of this committee. the private sector standards of this program to it, cvo projects the bank is projected to lose about $2 billion. between $14 and $2 billion. i have to do the math even though it's late in the day, that's $16 billion and that suggests a lot of downside uncertainty when it comes to xm. i'll start here. do you believe that the current government accounting standards truly and honestly and fully account for the risk, the risk to the taxpayers of the banks lending programs? >> i do, congressman. i can -- i mean, the difference between -- as my understanding of fair value and the analysis cbo did, and in that swing, assumes one large giant assumption that i believe is not true. >> okay, so -- >> that is, we would not adjust our fees. we could adjust our fees to compensate. if there's a different accounting system that was adopted by the u.s. government, we could adjust our fees cowardingly to make sure that we're at a break-even or cost for subsidy. >> i don't know if that's the only differ

mr. anderson cooper, many would assert put him even deeper in the hole of definition as something that'sc. he was upset about the implications to himself but what he said about minorities, what he said about magic johnson, he only compounded in that interview and why the league is moving on him. >> well, chris, i don't think that's the reality of what's occurring. i mean, as to these issues of what he said in private, i think that's a really unfair standard to apply. not only to donald sterling but to any american. i'm pretty certain that the american public believes that in the privacy of their own home they should have that right of privacy. >> counselor, if in your firm, if i worked for you as an associate and you found out for whatever -- however you found out that when i was in my house i said some really ugly things about minorities that showed where my heart and head are on those issues, what would you do? >> well, chris, that's not the same analogy. it's not the same set of circumstances. >> why? >> what we do in my firm as a private industry, it's not a matter of public disclosu

anderson for grass mrs terms as a native she may be almost up but now questions are being also about how he got the job in the first place freshly in the spotlight so we keep leaks documents just restless and abuse his powers as prime minister to guarantee himself his future job specifically denmark reportedly agreed to start legal action against a kurdish separatist channel that was broadcasting from copenhagen in two thousand and nine and in return turkey said it would backrest misson as the future may to achieve so why then was turkey while read about these a brawl cuts let's take a look here and a long claim that raj t.v. was a mouthpiece for the kurdistan workers party which fights for the rights of a kurdish minority and is considered a terrorist organization in turkey and the west not the channel started broadcasting in two thousand and four and in two thousand and ten it was officially accused in denmark of promoting terrorist activities and this year the channels license was finally revoked we spoke to their lawyer we have a special committee or service should be dead bark w

here is a picture of anderson as she's buying her new car in 2004. one of the millions of cars that g mrater that year, anderson was in a horrible sing of-car gent that actually killed her fiance. anderson, thinking she had caused the accident and rife with guilt at the time, pled guilty to criminally negligent homicide. this is the mug shot from that time. let's fast forward ten years. anderson just found out that she may not, in fact, have been at fault. a few weeks ago the national highway traffic safety administration, the federal agency that regulates car safety, it sent her a letter. in that letter, information that her fiance's tragic death is one of the 13 deaths linked to gm's faulty ignition switch. why didn't she get that letter from gm? gm has not released the names of the 13 victims linked to that defect. now anderson is starting to fight back. she's asking for the negligent homicide charge tho be vacated. she's suing gm for fraud as well. anderson and her attorney join me live to talk about their case against gm. thank you both. i so appreciate it. let me begin with you, ca

mrs. sterling, his mom and dad. part two of his interview with anderson cooper aired on cnn earlier tonight.f you missed part one on monday, it may be the first time i've seen an apology that was more offensive than the thing being apologized for. for some reason he lashed out at magic johnson, saying magic has aids, said magic hasn't done anything to help the african-american community, and magic is tryg to use the scandal to trick him into selling the clippers to him. last night anderson cooper sat down with magic who took the high road here. >> the notion that i want his team. if i was going to trick somebody, deceive somebody, be dishonest to somebody, steal somebody's franchise, it's going to be the los angeles lakers. let's make that clear right now. putting that on the record. it won't be the l.a. clippers. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: even when they win the clippers can't win. magic went on to say he won't hold a grudge against donald sterling, if he saw him in public he would say hello. which i would love to be a fly on the wall when that happens. magic was going t

mr. cheney, with all due respect, you should do the same. have a seat. now let's go right to anderson cooper live in baghdad, jim sciutto in washington tonight. isis fighters, anderson, have taken over a number of iraq cities. are they expected to reach baghdad? >> you know, that of course an open question. we know there are some 35 to 40 miles, the closest city they're in and fighting for baqubah still. that battle has been going on for more than a day now. that's about as close as we know that they are in large numbers on the outskirts. obviously there are insurgents. there are terrorist groups operating inside baghdad itself. we've seen a number of suicide blasts, robeses, of car bombs and the like over the last several days. dozens of wounlded. more than a dozen killed just yesterday alone. so, you know, it's a big question about whether or not they can actually come to the gates of the city. these are more shia-dominated areas, the shia fighters here that make up the iraqi military. a lot of these volunteers who have signed up to fight as well. they are highly motivated to protec

anderson is fighting for his life. >> i was basically only able to see shadows. i decided i was going to have to shoot him before i went unconscious, and that's when i shot mr.. >> i don't so much hear the first shot, i felt the first shot. i felt the concussion of it going through my chest. >> weekly mistakenly believes that he might have been shot. >> at that point, kind after freak-out mode trying to figure out, okay, who just shot who? >> and then i pulled the trigger a second time, and then it seemed like right after that, he was just gone. he just disappeared. >> get down on the ground! get on the ground! >> shot twice in the chest, mallory stumbles in front of the cruiser and collapses. >> i saw officer anderson out of the corner of my eye, and i was shocked to see him up and walking towards mallory. >> at that point officer anderson kind of collapsed on top of mallory. >> first thing i noticed was his missing eyebrow, and my concern at that point was with his injuries and making sure he was okay. >> are you okay? >> i don't know. >> back-up units arrive on scene. officer anderson and mallory are transported to the hospital. anderson is treated for a
