mr. carter feeling this pressure to name someone, named me because he said he just seen me in a jeep.he thought if he gave them a crazy story, they would not, and arrest me, but will let him go. well, that led to mann losing 18.5 years of my life and to execution dates. i was on death row for 12 and a half years. when i tell people -- i hear everybody tried to give a professional opinion about death row in solitary confinement, but i say you can never, never ever give it accurate unless you actually lived there. it is hell, it is hell, it is held every day. i was there when over 300 men were executed. i listened to guys you're happy to be executed instead of living under those conditions. one guy said, "man, i am ready to go. you have to live with this madness tomorrow." he would rather die than live in these in human conditions. what has happened to our country that we're teaching with people like this? we of cross the line when it has come to punishment. a guy gets sentenced at his initial trial, then he gets sentenced while he is down there to punishment and torture. we laugh when

mr. carter: mr. chairman, this amendment slashes immigration enforcement and would result in laying off many, many i.c.e. agents and potential releasing dangerous criminal aliens from custody. the gentleman's argument is interesting. his argument seems to be that if you fire the enforcing officers and legalize the criminals you're not going to have a problem. i'm sorry, mr. chairman, but that's not the way it operates. when you break the law, you have to face the consequences, and we need the enforcement officers to go out and assist us in enforcing the law. whether or not the immigration law is broken, i happen to agree it is broken. we might not necessarily agree on how to fix it, but i agree it is broken. because i agree we have porous borders. but i believe the ice people are doing the very best they can. quite honestly, i'm shocked that the solution to a criminal problem is fire the law enforcement officers. that's not good policy under anybody's thinking. and supposedly those who object are not

mr. carter: thank you. mr. speaker, as the army caucus could he chairs, my colleagues and i rise in celebration of the united states army's upcoming 237th birthday. since june 14, 1775, when the first company was formed to defend our great country against the british, the brave men and women of the army have upheld the seven core values of this strong brotherhood. those values are, loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. today the army stands over one million strong. we pause to salute the soldiers and fallen warriors of 237 years past whose legacies our soldiers strive to uphold. we pause to thank them for their service and sacrifice in every conflict and war in the history of our nation. and we pause to thank the families of our soldiers for their continuing support of our nation's defenders during these critical times. the past decade has proven the army as the leader in the war against terrorism, tyrannical leadership, and oppression in the middle east. where you th

mr. carter, for one minute. the chair: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. carter: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in strong support of h.r. 5855, the 2013 homeland security appropriation measure. as a member of the homeland security appropriation subcommittee, i believe that under the leadership of chairman aderholt we have exercised the much-needed oversight that the department -- of the department through the course of this year's hearings. this bill, along with the accompanying report, continues to ensure that congress is kept informed of how the valuable taxpayer dollars will be spent by requiring numerous reports and briefings of d.h.s. this bill funds front line security operations at their highest level in history. ensuring that our border patrol agents and i.c.e. officers have the resources they need to secure our bored -- our borders. i'm glad that there will be cooperation between federal agents and nongovernmental organizations to help combat the heinous crime of human trafficking, also known as modern day slavery. again, i

mr. to beat the sun. in other areas pools are extending hours. some say it is all too much, too early. brianne carter, abc 7 news. >> coming up, new video releases george zimmerman 24 hours after the trayvon martin shooting. firing in florida, more of the police chief there in his handling of the trayvon martin murder case. a u.s. attorney says he is willing to negotiate. more on the constitutional showdown over fast and furious. >> two videos recorded after ert drea bon mot nour shot shows george zimmerman walking police through the events. -- after trayvon martin was shot shows george zimmerman walking police through the events. >> in this video after trayvon martin's death, george zimmerman is brought to the scene to reenact what happened. >> his head was on the cement. he just kept slamming -- >> zimmerman feared for his life. >> i thought i was calling to lose consciousness. >> during a reenactment, he describes how the fight began. blow by blow, depicting martin as the aggressor. >> he said, you got a problem? i said no, i do not. >> where was he at? >> he was walking towards me. >> zimmerman t

mr. obama won a larger margin of the white vote than any democratic presidential candidate since jimmy carter. but an analysis of google searches shows race was a factor in the 2008 election. according to a "new york times" article written by a doctoral candidate in economics at harvard university. the author analyzes google searches to determine where racial anmis is most heavily concentrated in the united states. the highest searched rate showed up in west virginia, western pennsylvania, eastern ohio, upstate new york, and southern mississippi, for example. the voter compared that to areas candidate obama may have underperformed in, the actual election and found a direct correlation. in fact, he claims racial animus caused president obama 3% to 5% of the popular vote. let's turn to ari melber, correspondent your "the nation." with google we're revealing our trues or so the thinking goes. people are caught unaware, off guard and revealing their true selves. do you think there's something to this study that reveals the true inclinations of human beings when it comes to the issue of race? >> w

mr. obama's plan. you mentioned ronald reagan. ronald reagan did more than stop talking about jim write carter. he raised taxes 11 times. you are talking about cutting taxes in the small businessman 11 times, ronald reagan raised taxes. so what -- where do you use reagan and then come with this tax cut or kind of mantra over and over again as if reagan did not raise taxes when it was necessary? >> the first place, 1981, reagan passed what was at that time by a big margin the largest tax cut in american history. remember, when reagan was sworn into office the top marginal rate was 70%. so the tax cuts reagan put in by time he left office and at the top rate was 39%. so those -- huge drop in tax rates. and all of small taxes increases you are talking about were tiny compared to the 1918 tax cut. in that sense, it is fair to say reagan was committed to a supply side approach of lower taxes and more job creation. >> but he raised the taxes 11 times mr. speaker. that's a fact. >> most of those were very small tax increases. let me give you an example. i was in atlanta yesterday. and i was out at the galleria. and a woman wal

mr. obama won a larger margin of the white vote than any democratic presidential candidate since jimmy cartert in an analysis of google searches shows that race was a factor in the 2008 election. according to a "new york times" article written by a doctoral candidate in economics at harvard university. the author, seth stevens, analyzes google searches to determine where racial animus is most heavily concentrated in the united states. he says the heaviest racially charged search rates turned up in western virginia, western ohio, upstate new york, and southern mississippi, for example. the voter compared that to areas candidate obama may have underperformed in the actual election and found a direct correlation. in fact, he claims racial animus caused president obama 3 to 5% of the popular vote. let's turn to ari melber, correspondent for "the nation" magazine and a good man. racial animus is not something easily detected in polls, because respondents try to hide it. but with google, we're revealing our true selves, or so the thinking goes. so people are caught unawares, off guard, and they're

mr. president, i've been here with president ford, president carter, president reagan, president bush, president clinton, the second president bush and now president obama. and all the other presidents, nobody, republican or democrat, has blocked and stalled judges the way the republicans have president obama's. this whether you've had republicans or democrats in the majority of the senate. i cannot understand why president obama is treated differently than the way we treated president ford, president carter, president reagan, president george h.w. bush, president clinton, president george w. bush. in the past five presidential election years, for example, senate democrats have never denied an up-or-down vote to any circuit court nominee with a republican president who received bipartisan support in the judiciary committee. but that's what senate republicans are now seeking to do by blocking votes of william kaoeu -- kayatta. in the past five years senate democrats never blocked a vote of any republican nominee of a republican president who received a bipartisan vote in the judiciary committee.

mr. gutenberg's work in the "police academy" films more than anyone. it could be deemed as a very barbed re, ma. but when we look back president carter failed in the presidency, and it was not a fault of the policies. the presidency was too big for one man. ronald regan was elected and the left claimed he didn't spend enough time. the economy turned around and got going and the evil empire got going. so i think he should spend less time managing. >> i don't agree with gutenberg, and it pains me to say that. steve, if you are watching, i feel bad. i don't think the president should be at his desk all day. everybody is up in arms when the president is taking vacation. it is not like they are turning off their cell phone and not checking their e-mail this they are not in the oval office. you can develop severe symptoms sitting at your desk all day. >> are other celebs turning on him? >> he knows about not working. i'm surprised that was his issue. i thought he was going to stand up and talk about gay marriage considering he raised a baby with two men. >> excellent point. bill, has the gut made you rethink your adoring love for president

carter will help make it easier. she is at king street this morning. >> good morning. a lot of people first hearing about this and thinking this is too mr.using. once you break it down, it is designed to get more congestion relief and make the trip easier if to and from work. 6:30 until 9:00 in the morning and 3:30 until 6:00 in the afternoon, four lines are affected where they bring in new trains to get more trains on the tracks and more seat available to passengers. on the yellow line between greenbelt and franconia's springfield, you will be able to make the entire trip without transferring. in the past you have to use a green line or drink, but now you can do it all on the yellow line train if. on the orange line there will be six additional trains, three in each direction during rush hour. you will get more seats. help that will eliminate some of the congestion at rush hour that we have seen so much of. -- they are hoping . it's a dotted line on the maps instead of a solid line. metro employees will be out here to help you. the train operators will be able to help you to know exactly where you need to go if there's any confusion on

mr. mcdaniel' testimony. i think it's important for people to realize that. >> "john carter" big bomb, if the reviews for "johnr" were written by people who disney paid and they said, go see it, you would have to take pause. >> and with using that analogy, disney can pay the reviewers and said five starts, must see movie, et cetera, but the market will speak, because the ticket sales won't back that opinion up. that's what we're talking about here in the market. >> but "john carter" was too big to fail. when you put it that like that john carter could bring down the world, but these banks don't hurt us. thank you for pointing that out. i think people at home are thinking moody's they've got to be the rocket scientists who come in and really make the determination. >> i would hope that's not the case after what we saw in the financial crisis. >> i think not anymore. >> after the building of the cbo machine -- >> why do they emphasize it? >> that's the question. at this point after all the testimony -- >> here's the "financial times" which i think has been the best on banks. >> that's my point. use them to whate

carter or overseas. when he did it the first and second time he wasn't sure it was going to turn out okay. i love that quote. he says mrstephanopoulos. you think it will be okay, don't you? the last thing is how the club really worked to unite when the presidency is in crisis for the presidency is more important than any president. they'll recognize in politics today, which don't work very well for one thing that has to work, went in but always has to be functioning powerful an effect as is the presidency. >> this is where we see them most willing to put self-interest, party interests, political interests aside and join together, make, and caused around some larger purpose. we see with truman and over again, where of all people to completely rewritten as the executive branch, why on earth would trim and sign off on herbert hoover sharing what became known as the herbert hoover mission to the societal and assume would dismantle the entire new deal superstructure of government. would trim a new this time was herber had been in a moment of national crisis and he knew that a president needs the tools to be able to meet a c
