mr. brooks: do you want to take a couple of questions? we have about six minutes. can, with u.s. president be willing to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem? mr. gilmore: certainly. if that is what the government of the israel would prefer to do, that i think that is a decision for the state of israel -- but i believe it should be supported by the united states. mr. brooks: what do you see as the state of the peace process, or lack thereof between the israelis and palestinians? mr. gilmore: i think israel is in a bit of a jam, as we all know. estate of it is this. -- the state of it is this. with two confronted choices, neither of which are good. one is the to state solution, but the anxiety is people like hamas are in charge of the other state, and it will be perpetual war. meanwhile, if there is no two state solution, there will be a further request and demand for more civil rights and voting , and there isple a danger is real news is jewish character as the years go on. thatord right now is israel is in a wait and see mode, and that is the status of where we are. right

mr. brooks: our time is up. thank you so much. jimormer virginia governor gilmore was among the candidates who spoke at the republican jewish coalition. he talked about federal foreign-policy issues, including the nuclear agreement and the israeli-palestinian conflict. thank you very much. i and alleged to be here to have a chance to address these critical issues of the day. i appreciate the opportunity to be here and speak with you. in preparation for this, this very significant meeting, i did a little looking at the internet. it turns out there is a fellow who wrote a little article in the

mr. brooks is queuing over, maybe everyone is.etty: talk about queuing over, shares are doing that after ge said they will not sell anymore. mark: they were down by 15% a year earlier and are cooling down 4%. at the altar. you're not getting a supplies business. $3.3 billion deal, it ain't going to happen. why? because we are worried about regulators. what does you lecture locks now need to do to gain scale in the market? analystbig call and one said today the worst possible outcome became a reality. this is a significant loss for electrolux. electrolux should now look for joint ventures in china. down by 13.4% today, it tells you everything investors are saying about the end of the deal. daddy: incredible. incredible p no energy shares have been dragging down here. oil prices, crude, the lowest level since february of 2009. this is the worst selloff. the non-decision by opec on friday, effectively said they are not putting out a production target. is leaving investors figuring out where is the right balance for oil. in on ourchec

mr. brooks, that is just the beginning. and because other people have to be looked at, and anyone who had their fingerprint, ashleigh, on having knowledge of this video being there and did not take any responsibility to put it out there for the public are just as responsible as they are accusing mccarthy to be. >> and there is a lot of people, because there is a list of people. >> yes, absolutely, a lot of people. >> and if transparency goal, they have to be scrutinized heavily. and cornell brook, dovetail for me on the notion that cedric alexander talked about the challenge that communities face and i don't have to explain to anybody least of all you who was just arrested after protesting what happened to laquan mcdonald yesterday in chicago. i am showing the photograph of the tweet that you sent out of you and your colleagues basically in the police van having been arrested. >> yes. >> the question i have is there is an effect that has been dubbed the ferguson effect. many people are arguing over whether it is real or whe

mr. brooks thank you so much for joining us here. obviously the immigration crisis nothing new, hundreds of thousands of people have been coming for the past couple of years but to see 1 million in 12 months really does show you that the situation is changing and changing rapidly, europe wasn't ready a year ago, is it any readier now? as we are about to enter 2016. >> mo is the short answer. i think the crisis has been so big, it's been kind of a low level crisis for some time, that has -- been able to be handled to some degree, but it is really kind of taken on a new life. for the many people that are trapped in the system, and it seems that it is not a temporary thing, i think we will see some very high numbers next year as well. this is not a crisis that is about to go away. >> we have seen some countries building walls others being very open, saying they don't really want refugees germany has been a a ed looker in this. do you see any countries taking that lead. >> i don't. i think germany is maybe heading towards it's maximum. s

mr. brooks. i thought it was actually very fair and balanced.stands we have got to do something. but economic growth and th tangibleof it ise a risk. how do you link the debate over carmen and -- over climate and carbon to christine lagarde's new mediocre. nothing, growth is going to be very weak. how you actually do it, friendly, i don't know if i would. tom: this is tens of points. degrees means by some definition there is a lessening of growth. fascinatingere is a thing about this stranded asset. . if you do put a limit on carbon emissions, there is going to be a huge chunk of assets that these energies, these extraction businesses will not be able to burn. that is going to have a big impact. that is jobs. that is output. peter: that is the second point you are raising is not only the absolute level of growth, but if you put some of these mechanisms in, they're going to be some industries that will benefit when others want. it is also redistribution. is different given a new mediocre or a global recession versus a paris in 2006 which was a bo

mr. brooks got the direction wrong. he thought it would move downwards to 1.03.moved upwards to 1.09. let's have a look at the stoxx 600, which is falling for a second day. yesterday,3.1% biggest drop in three months. all 19 industry groups fell. a big disappointment was the deposit rate cut. 10 basis points, yes, but it wasn't enough. the monthly rate of bond purchases, 60 million euros, stayed unchanged. the market demanded more. 3.4%toxx 600 is down by over two days. look at the german 10-year yield. these yields, especially short-term yields, have fallen to record lows in finland, spain, germany just to mention three eurozone nations. rising by 20 basis points. it's coming down a couple basis points today. the two-they trend is very much your friend. the price of crude. opec will deliberate and decide today on output. it seems as if output will be kept unchanged despite protestations from the likes of venezuela and ecuador. they have spoken a few minutes ago. crude has risen by 3.7% in the of a cut,ays on hopes but it seems unlikely. they say the pressure isn

mrs. brooks of indiana. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 542, the gentlelady from indiana, mrs. brooks, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlelady from brooks. mrs. brooks: my amendment calls on the department of energy and the office of management and budget to take another look at what is now 20-year-old data about how used oil is managed in the united states and to develop comprehensive strategies to increase recycling used oil as part of a national strategy to save energy and reduce pollution. right now there are options for disposal of motor oil, commonly used in trucks and cars. the worst option is for that oil to be simply discarded, leading to contaminants polluting our air and water. if properly collected, the oil can be burned once for use as low-cost fuel. however, the best office uses modern technology which now exists to collect and sustainably recycle used oil. these refining techniques can now produce a product that is a -- an e

mrs. brooks: thank you. mr. speaker, back in october i had the opportunity to attend the indiana industrial energy consumers annual conference in indianapolis. there i heard from stakeholders across the energy supply chain about the serious economic and reliability issues emanating from the e.p.a. clean power plant. for instance, john hughs with the electricity consumers resource council presented findings showing that indiana alone stands to lose 12,500 jobs because of these rules. . this comes on top of the other ballparks regulations which has -- obama administration regulations which has increased rates that have gone from the fifth lowest in the nation in 2003 to the 26th lowest in 2014. and when these rules take effect, electricity rates in my state will continue to climb to the tune to up to 20% each year. as a result, hoosier manufacturers who drive more than 30% of our economy will be orced to shut assembly lines to pay their utility bills. so congress needs to think the very real consequences of this e

and detective brooks would have to figure out if this years-old unproven allegation had so eaten away at marc's dad that it pushed him over the edge. number one. mr. despain. >> reporter: detective brooks sat down with jack in an interrogation room and watched the man fall apart. >> i can't. >> reporter: was this true grief the detective was witnessing? or regret? or guilt over something jack had done? or hadn't done. >> reporter: too late. what did he mean? jack didn't shy away from discussing those abuse allegations. here's how it happened, he said. >> she had taken some nude photos of herself and sent them to her boyfriends. >> reporter: jack said he found out the girl was sexting, confronted her, said he was going to tell her parents. but she got to them before he did, jack said, and invented the story to get out of trouble. >> so they took her side, i guess. was the bad person. >> reporter: jack told us the same story, eager, he said, to finally set the record straight. you didn't ever ask her to take pictures of herself and give them to you? >> no, no. >> reporter: but the accusation, said jack, almost destroyed him. >> i was at home. i cou

brook's instincts said no. jack's alibi checked out. he was fixing his roof afternoon of the murder. and those tears in the interrogation room -- >> i did not feel anything as being fake from mreporter: so what to make of the fractured family and all the bad blood now tangled up with so much grief? detective brooks thought back to his interview with michelle's dad, carl, the man who pointed a finger at jack on day one. >> he told him he didn't want to have nothing to do with him. >> reporter: carl said he'd been in marc's house not too long before the murder, dropped off some rent money. >> why didn't they shoot me instead of him? i had the money in my hand. >> reporter: interesting timing? coincidence? or, as detective brooks wondered, did carl have something to do with the murder? maybe not. carl's alibi checked out. surveillance cameras, in fact, caught carl right where he said he was around the time marc was gunned down, meeting his daughter at the bank where she worked. he could not have shot marc. while the investigation continued, marc's parents spent time at the cemetery, finally able to do what they couldn't when their son was still alive. >> we'd talk to him. talk t

mr. stokes, welcome back. >> hi, brooke, how are you? >> i'm doing well, thank you.e begin with one of the headlines. the fact that no new court date has been set so it's not clear whether the prosecution has decided it will formally retry officer porter. your reaction to that? >> my reaction is that obviously they have to figure out and determine what are the chances that they will get the conviction with a retile. i guess i'm not inside the courtroom, obviously, but they want to know what was the split. how many for conviction and how many for acquittal to determine what may have been in the minds of the jurors. so i guess they are going to figure out what are the odds in going forward for the retrial. >> do you think it was the right call to try this in baltimore? >> i'm sorry, say it one more time. >> do you think it was the right call to try it in baltimore given the fact we have a mistrial on trial number one? >> yeah, i think they made a good call there. the next call is going to be on the driver, who by the way it seemed that part of the defense of officer po

brooks for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman.i've been very surprised actually the other side of the aisle seems to have focussed on the uninsured rate, medicaid expansion things that really haven't been relevant i don't think to the oversight of today's hearing. i think it's our duty to provide that oversight because billions of dollars have been spent and are at stake and i'm, you know -- i am very concerned about ensuring that our taxpayer dollars are spent effectively and efficiently as i know you are. and i'm concerned because you have indicated that the states and congressman flores' testimony you indicated that the states have their own funding at some point, that the states have their own source of funding and so i'm curious if you would expand on those states with the exchanges when the federal dollars run out, what is the source of funding you are referring to? >> sure. thank you for the question. so, most of the states, all but i think two, have some type of assessment that they assess the health plans that operate in

brooke. we have to remember initially, the initial district attorney, mr.who evaluated the case in 2005 felt there was insufficient efd to move forward based upon what he knew that particular time. now you have the civil deposition where in mr. cosby was deposed. asked questioned under oath. what contact he had. when it occurred. where it occurred. under which circumstances it occurred. and he made damning admissions in that deposition that district attorney is using against him. >> let's get specific. so in this deposition cosby said, he talked about, he admitted giving women quaaludes. he suggested he was good at picking up on a woman's nonverbal cues that signal a woman's consent. said he restrained from actual sexual intercourse to avoid romance. and that is just some of what i can sort of share on air here. that is part of what, you know, led this current district attorney to, what? explain then the process, paul, of reopening a case. >> you have a 12-year statute of limitations. >> which is about to run up. >> in pennsylvania. and yeah, today. tomorro

mr. speaker, terrorists use social media and it's exploded over the last several years. a recent study by the brookings institute found that isis now ses 40,000 twitter accounts. 40,000. terrorists use social media to do the following, mr. speaker. to recruit others, to raise money, spread propaganda, and even to train future fighters. and this legislation deals with foreign terrorist organizations. we're not talking about a person who claims to be a terrorist or we think he is or she is, but specifically foreign terrorist organizations that are designated by our government. that's what this legislation deals with. the recipes for the bombs used in the boston marathon, mr. speaker, were in al qaeda's magazine that was posted on social media before the attack. the al qaeda affiliate al-shabab live tweeted the attack on a kenyan mall that killed 72 people. the al qaeda branch in yemen, known as aqap, another foreign terrorist organization, held a press conference on twitter, allowing users to submit questions that were then ask answered by aqap -- that were then answered by aqap and posted back on twitte
