mr. fleming. we will go back and forth. what would you say -- what role can he play, talked about the three groups of individuals. you mentioned that first group. on the edge. and he mentioned a second group, the group that would have step- by-step sentencing. is there anywhere for someone's skill set to assist you in that effort? >> i like the question and i will tell you why. i think the groups working with the youth are doing the best we can -- the best they can. sometimes, you need tough love. they need to set guidelines and make them understand that if they do not go according to the program, they will be out of the program. one thing i like to see, when that individual -- the individual gets arrested and i will decide whether or not to file charges. a lot of times, i do not file charges. that person is released from jail the second day and then he is back in the community. there should be somewhere within the police department for someone like jeremy to meet with that person the day he is being released. i think that

mr. king from iowa, dr. fleming from louisiana, the judge over there from texas, mr. brooks from alabama, mr. yoho from florida. we have six people here in this chamber who are going to say no amnesty, no how. what we are going to say is demand border security and demand that this government finally lives up to the promise it has made to the american people because we have got to get back to what representative king talked about and what each of these members talked about, the rule of law, because we think it means something. in fact, we think it's everything. we think without the rule of law, you have nothing. and that's why i'm so grateful, mr. speaker, that we have had this time tonight to be able to be together and talk about this topic and at that point, i think -- how much time do we have remaining? the speaker pro tempore: a couple of minutes. mrs. bachmann: we are going to go full tilt. let me yield to mr. yoho. he has something on his mind. mr. yoho: thank you. you were talking about the rule of law and heard it over and over again and the biggest thing is th

mr. fleming: i want to thank my iend, louie gohmert, judge gohmert, for having this hour together, speaking on this important subject. my friend also is my neighbor, ur district's -- our districts neighbor one another. and we have constituents who see this issue, i think, very consistently. and that is that when we poll them when we talk to our constituents, they are very clear on the issue of immigration. they say, first and foremost, congressman fleming, whatever you do, do what congress and the presidents have not been willing to do and that is to secure the border and to put internal security in that will prevent the visa overstays that are 40% of those. now, we have two lingering questions on the whole issue of immigration. one is, is immigration good for america? and i would suggest to you that immigration has been good for america. all of our forefathers, they were immigrants. they came here with the idea that they would receive religious liberty, twhee receive opportunity when it comes to the economy, and they were quite willing and happy to contribute to that. but, you know what? t

mr. fleming: president obama says he now has serious ideas about taxes and job creation. i'd like to take him seriously but the truth is, the president has spent the last four and a half years hammering the nation's businesses with taxes, regulations and obamacare. his business mandate has already forced many small businesses to convert fall-time jobs to part-time jobs. and let's remember, the jobs that have already dissipated due to the medical dice companies that are reducing employees to pay a new obamacare excise tax. one company has already terminated more than 1,000 workers. as for taxes, the president's fiscal cliff deal pushes tacks up to as much as 45% for many small business owners and investors. that simply diminishes their incentive to move forward with expansions that would create jobs. mr. president if you'd really like this economy to get going, let's start by repealing obamacare and cutting taxes. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. members are reminded to address all comments to the chair. for what purpose does the gentlelady

mr. bond... >> cooper: fantasy has always been at the heart of james bond's appeal. when ian flemingvel, "casino royale," in 1953, it offered readers a much- needed escape from the austerity of post-war britain. cubby broccoli's dreams of bringing bond to the screen were realized when he met another producer, harry saltzman, who'd obtained the screen rights to fleming's early bond books for a mere $50,000. for their first film, 1962's "dr. no," broccoli and saltzman picked sean connery, then an unknown scottish actor who introduced himself to audiences with three words that are now movie history. >> mister...? >> sean connery: bond, james bond. >> broccoli: he sort of exploded on the screen in technicolor with jamaican locations and... >> cooper: and hot women. >> broccoli: ... hot women and bikinis... >> looking for shells? >> connery: no, i'm just looking. >> broccoli: it's a pretty exciting world that bond inhabits. >> cooper: but it's a world sean connery almost wasn't part of. hard to believe, but in the beginning, broccoli told us ian fleming didn't think he was right for the r
