mr. dicks: i yield four minutes to the gentleman from north carolina, the ranking member on the homeland security appropriations subcommittee and former chair, mr. price. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for four minutes. mr. price: mr. speaker, here we go again. just yesterday this continuing resolution failed because of widespread concerns with the plan to offset disaster relief funding from a key department of energy program. one day later we're having the exact same debate. the only thing that's changed is that the republican majority has decided this time to target two energy department programs instead of one. when it failed yesterday, house republican leaders faced a basic decision. they could give up their efforts to hold disaster funding hostage to another partisan budget battle by removing the offset and passing the bill with a broad bipartisan majority. or they could make the measure even more extreme, in order to cater to the most radical members of their party,

mr. dicks, will each control 30 minutes. the house will be in order. the house will be in order. members, please take your conversations off the floor. the chair recognizes the gentleman from kentucky. mr. rogers: mr. speaker, i rise today to bring to the floor the continuing appropriations resolution to keep the federal government operating until november 18 of this year, for procedural reasons. this is being done as an amendment to the senate amendment to h.r. 2608, to speak passage through the senate at their request. but in substance this is the same as the continuing resolution, h.j.res. 79, that i introduced on september 14. this c.r., mr. speaker, will give congress the time needed to complete fiscal year 2012 appropriations and adequately fund vital government programs and services while working to put federal spending on a more sustainable course. just as significantly, this bill provides desperately needed funding for disaster recovery and relief. i would have preferred to complete th

mr. dicks, the ranking member of the appropriations committee, indicated before the gentleman and the other rules committee members and me that he would be supportive of the measure and he said he had a right to change his mind and second, in the colloquy that took place last week between the distinguished minority whip and the majority leader, the minority whip indicated that he was supportive of the continuing resolution. mr. mcgovern: i don't recall that, i'll check with the minority whip to check on that. i guess i'm trying to provide information to the members of the house who are watching. mr. dreier: am i correct in say -- mr. mcgovern: am i correct in saying we don't know when we'll meet and don't know when we'll see the new version of the continuing resolution? mr. dreier: let me say that first to address the issue raised -- i don't know what the gentleman meant about 72 hours. there's a three-day layover requirement. we will not, and let me underscore again, we will not be waiving the

mr. dicks: i rise in reluctant opposition to the continuing resolution. for the most part, it is a clean c.r., it provides funding at $1.03 trillion through november 18. the amount reflects the budget control act cap on f.y. 2012 appropriations. the c.r. continues funding, has provide -- as provided in f.y. 2011 with a 1 .503 across the board cut to come down from159 to 1043. the c.r. adds a handful of anomalies requested by the administration through o.m.b., including provisions to cut back on overseas contingency operation funds from the level of 11 down to the level that was passed in the defense appropriations bill which is approximately 118. authorized d.h.s. workn national special security events ex-tends flood insurance and delays the postal service obligation. the last pvision will allow mail service to continue while congress pursues legislative reforms. the matter that concerns me and the democratic caucus is the way the majority has provided disaster relief funding. fema's disaster r

mr. dicks: i yield four minutes to the distinguished democratic whip, my good friend, mr. hoyer from maryland. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland is recognized for four minutes. mr. dicks: make it in america. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i rise in opposition to this bill. now, all of us are for a continuing resolution which keeps the government in business. in the past on both sides of the aisle we have talked about clean c.r.'s. clean c.r.'s in the short-term that's going until november 18, to keep government running. i was hopeful we would have such a c.r. this time. so that we would not continue to give to the american public the feeling that we can't come to agreement. i was not in the appropriations committee, the gentleman, my good friend from idaho says this was an amendment that was not opposed in committee. i don't know whether mr. price would agree with that. i don't know what the facts on that were. but let me say this, this is a pay-for that is ex

mr. dicks: mr. speaker, i yield myself as much time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i know as well as anyone that members change their minds. i have heard a lot about that the last couple of days, but here we are debating essentially the same bill that we voted on yesterday. many republicans who voted no last night did so because they believed $1.043 trillion is too much spending. the bill spends $1.043 trillion. i will be the first to say every member is to change his or her mind. however, i'm eager to hear my republican colleagues who voted no yesterday answer why it is ok to vote yes today. and i hope these members will not hang their hat on the one if anything leaf of change in the bill. the bill insludes recision in emergency funding from section from the d.o.e. loan program, recision of emergency funds does not score as a reduction from the $1.043 trillion. democrats voted no. we strongly oppose taking funding from the advanced technology vehicle manufacturing program. this is a program that has proven to be a success in creating new jobs, and such a s

mr. president. it's always a pleasure to have you. in a minute, former vice president dick cheney. >> schieffer: and we're back now with the former vice president during the bush administration, dick cheney. mr. cheney, you heard what former president clinton just said about you. he said, shocking, that you might be playing politics and that perhaps you were just trying to stir up trouble when you were so complimentary to hillary clinton. >> no, i just thought, bob, that the democrats ought to have as much fun on their side as we're having on our side in figuring out who is going to run so i made the suggestion. i'm glad to see that he thought there was some merit to the idea. he didn't endorse it obviously but he had to think about it. >> schieffer: mr. vice president, you had very good luck with your new book that's out. my understanding it's now number one on the "new york times" best seller list. >> that's right. >> schieffer: the other side of it is, it hasn't gotten very good reviews from some of your colleagues in the bush administration. even president bush when he

here now purveyor of dick morris.com mr. morris. am i making any mistakes in my analysis. >> no, i think you are mine fine. you can't take the perry numbers too literally at this point. because people really haven't seen them. >> bill: shows up in the poll. >> even with most not knowing who he is. oddly enough his vote share is about equal to his favorable recognition in the republican primary. but, the -- but i think that that -- his problem is going to be in these debates, it could be his opportunity, it could be his problem. because people will see him and then they could say oh i don't like him that much. or in contrast with the other candidates he doesn't shine. and at that point you could be seeing his losing momentum. on the other hand, he could lock in a frontrunner status by doing well. >> bill: okay. but you just stated the obvious. everybody knows what you just said. am i paying you to do that? no. i'm not paying you to do that. everyone knows that. if he flops in the debates, goes down. if he is big in the debates it goe

here now the purveyor of dick morris.com mr. morris. all right. let's take perry first. because he is -- we are going to play a clip of perry and his anti-obama web ad which is pretty strong in the next segment with chris wallace. but, do you expect tomorrow night for them, all the other republicans to go after him like they did the first time? >> yes. but i think that even more effectively. in the three polls before the debate perry had an average lead over romney of 12.5 points. in the four polls after the debate his league shrunk to 5.5. got hurt. >> yes. i expect, frankly, that it will disappear after this debate. isn't it possible though that some the lesser rated candidates will go after romney tomorrow night? >> not as much fodder there. bachmann might do that i expect will be immigration just as the last two debate social security you have him opposing the border fence. have him opposing the arizona law. >> why would you go away from the economy just to knock him out? >> knock him out because is he surviving with a conservative southern base. and if immigration k

joining us now from grand rapids, michigan to explain the purveyor of dick morris.com. mr. morris. you heard the christie debate. what say you? do you think he is going to run? >> no, i don't think he is going to run. i'm sick and tired of his teasing the united states. i think that he should either cut bait or fish. put up or shut up. stop this bs of waltzing around the issue and being so could you tell use in his denials and get up there and say if nominated i refuse to run. if elected i refuse to serve. sermon. >> bill: does he hurt the republican party by the dance. >> yes. candidates can't raise money people are not focusing on the message enough. people are rooting on the man that isn't there. this entire nominating race has been overshadowed by people who self-indulgently floated their name adulation and then said ooh no thanks. we had three months of donald trump. we had one month of mitch daniels. we had mike huckabee. we have sarah palin running all over the country in buses pretending she is sort of maybe not running. now chris christie does what over governor of new jer

mr. barnes said dick cheney was in the driver's seat when it came to foreign policy. i am not one to sugarcoat things here. i think dick cheney is a war criminal, and a mass murderer. i am 52 years old. i have lived through some presidencies. i just very much dislike dick cheney. i think it costs a lot of havoc. host: we have heard that argument. guest: i did not think he was in the driver's seat. there have been stories written, and i think they were ridiculous that dick cheney was really the guy running things. he was not. it did not work that way and cannot work that way. he was very influential. the president sought out his views on national security issues in particular. they met a lot. he had an extremely influential role, but in the driver's seat? i would say no. host: he says he, george w. bush, made some decisions i did not agree with . guest: it is certainly true that no vice president has had the access and influence that dick cheney did. host: clearly had a lot of influence in this white house? guest: of course he did. 9/11 had a lot to do with that. that

begin here, his response from criticism from the man who last held his job, the former president dick cheney. mre case that the obama administration has two unfairly restricted its options in fighting terrorism. >> one of the debates in that chapter will be enhanced interrogation tactics and waterboarding. your predecessor, the former vice president, talking in the context of this specific threat we're using today, he says, if you're still using those tactics, maybe there would be a date when you get this detainee out of pakistan, you scrub that detainee and maybe you have more information. >> john, no. i've been engaged in this for 46 years, a member of the intelligence committee, vice president of the united states involved in this issue. i've seen zero evidence it works and think there's abundant evidence it hurts us internationally and hurts our security by making a mockery of who we say we are and giving rationale for those who want to do us harm, to recruit people. so i would argue the opposite. >> let me shift politics for a few moments. that season is heating up, perhaps earlier than man

mr. hamilton, because as dick noted, this book is something of a departure for me. when i was on the road publicizing my rockefeller biography "titan" i realized the extent to which i was being typecast as the guilded age mogul guy. when i finished a speech people in the audience would jump up and shout, do carnegie next. do vanlt next. even more, i would give a rip-roaring rendition of rockefeller's life only to have some timid soul raise his hand and ask mr. chernow should i roll over my t-bill? people only realized how dismal my own investment experience had been. i realized i was trapped in this gilded cage, not a gilded cage, guilded cage, and hamilton arose as the perfect way out of it because on the one hand he would purely transform me back to the origins of the economic and financial system i had already written about and on the other hand he was one of those universal geniuses of the 18th century whose mind seemed to touch on almost every conceivable subject. i think it's fair to say nowadays even well educated americans are ignorant about the first treasu

dick cheney vice president states mr vice president you haven't here on the calculus could be here to have a. credible credible job on this book by the way you could very comprehensive good career that might if you consolidate a sitting american history unplanned but we. had a great career ruining the united states and committing war crimes i suppose next we could offer you will stuff i fox and friends and kilmeade will kiss his boots and a very very ugly really big coloring books the company just published a new coloring book entitled we shall never forget nine eleven the kids book of freedom that allows children to color in most some of the most grisly images of nine eleven minutes after an aftermath from the burning world trade center towers for the navy seal operation to kill osama bin was a besides the inappropriate theme of the book it also peddles islamophobia to kids as nearly every reference to muslims in the book is accompanied by a reference to how they are terrorists the book's publisher wayne bell defended his creation by saying i'm sure there's the troth it's unfortunate

on trial and he would be ready to testify george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted here oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping. that is order. the fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on the scale of nine eleven on the u.s. soil is often attributed to the harsh methods used in the last decade as a war on terror but counterterrorism experts say the fact that terrorists are successfully recruiting thousands of new members these days does not add to security in the u.s. and the whole world for that matter we've also seen other extremists networks like for us well in response things like u.s. drone attacks and often. so in some ways with the benefit of patients in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed. thousands of civilians and made it only a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others like this young man who lost both of his legs and three family members in a drone strike gather in protest asking when will the killing stop we have made much more than a cottage industry out

dick cheney what dick cheney wants to hear george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is utter bull they didn't stop anything through inherent enhanced interrogation techniques have that from some of the most respected people in the f.b.i. and the intelligence community so i can't fault big cheney for not knowing the truth because he couldn't know the truth he's trapped he's trapped in his own military but the truth is the methods don't work and they rebound to your discredit and they recruit as you said for your enemy dick cheney is asked what would happen if an american were captured in iran and what would happen if they waterboarding because they thought he was a threat to the state of iran and so forth he just skirted around the question what he really said was if you listen closely americans are better than anybody else in the world americans shouldn't be waterboarding but anybody else we can waterboard especially if we're americans doing it that's essentially what dick cheney

on trial and he would be ready to testify george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is order book in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and made it only a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others like this young man who lost both of his legs and three family members in a drone strike gether in protest asking when will the killing stop we have made much more than a cottage industry out of the what my former boss colin powell has called the terrorist industrial complex lots of people are making lots of money off of this so-called global war on terror our war on terror. begins without god. but it does not in there listening to george bush's declaration of war on terror from ten years ago one is left wondering whether it was the beginning of a vicious circle where the revenge would take more innocent lives and would start a new wave of terror i'm going to check out reporting from washington
