mr. gardner: not at this time. the chair: the gentleman from california is recognized for 3 1/2 minutes. mr. waxman: mr. speaker, for those who want to export natural gas, this bill really isn't necessary. because the department of energy is approving enough export of natural gas that will allow us in a few years to be the largest exporter of l.n.g. in the world. so d.o.e. is acting. for those of you who are concerned about global freedom, get all of the approvals to export natural gas, the countries who are going to receive this natural gas are most likely going to be because pan and india, that's where they're paying higher prices for natural gas, it's going to be more profitable to ship the l.n.g. there. and i don't fault companies for doing that. they're in business to make money. it's going to provide more money to ship the natural gas there. well, what about the ukraine? what about the countries that are under threat from russia? angela merkel, head of germany, may not realize it but natural gas is not going t

mr. gardner had a pretty low profile then. he's the gop candidate running for senate against incumbent democrat mark udall. before he came to washington, he was a state lawmaker in 2007. he co-sponsored a near total ban on abortion with absolutely no exceptions in the case of rape or incest. it was a bill that would have put doctors who performed termination in prison for up to a dozen years. that same year, he was one of only a handful of legislators who voted against giving rape victims access to emergency contraception. during his tenure in the colorado statehouse he supported not one but two of the so-called personhood ballot measures that got voted down twice by voters in the state by more than 40 points. he also bragged about going the extra mile to try to get that bill passed. >> thank you. i have signed the personhood petition. i have taken the petitions to my church and circulated them in my church and have a legislative record that backs up my support for life. >> that was mr. gardner's legislative record on the stat

mr. gardner: i thank the chairman. at this time i would like to yield three minutes to the chairman of the energy and commerce committee, mr. upton. the chair: the gentleman from michigan is recognized for three minutes. mr. upton: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, the energy and commerce committee has been tackling issue the of l.n.g. exports for quite some time now. and what began as a solid case in favor of these exports has only grown stronger. i support this bill, the domestic prosperity and global freedom act, and i applaud in particular the sponsor, cory gardner, for his efforts on this important bipartisan bill. last october we held a forum that consisted of nearly a dozen representatives of foreign governments as well as the commonwealth of puerto rico, all of whom expressed their strong interest in buying l.n.g. from the u.s. three of them, hungary, the czechoslovakia and lithuania, our eastern european allies that are currently dependent on russia for natural gas, they described in great detail how russia wie

mr. gardner: the gentleman reserves. the chair: does anyone wish to speak in opposition to the amendment? the gentleman from colorado is recognized. mr. gardner: i thank the chairman for his support and the chairman of the subcommittee for his support and i encourage passage of this bill to help rural colorado and rural america produce and provide greater telemedicine opportunities for the country. i yield back. the chair: all time being yielded back, the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from colorado. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the amendment is agreed. to -- agreed to. the clerk will read. the clerk: page 50, line 12, limitation on inspection and weighing services expenses, $50 million. office of the undersecretary for food safety, $816,000. food safety and inspection 005,189,000. the chair: the clerk will suspend. for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? mr. grayson: i have an amendment at the desk. grayson num

mr. gardner has supported personhood measures that would ban all abortion and ban the most commonly used form of birth control. it would ban the pill. since he decided he would run statewide in colorado, he has disavowed his earlier support for personhood but he hasn't taken his name off legislation of which he is a co-sponsor. and mark udall is running this ad to stick gardner with the consequences. >> my opponent, congressman gardner, led a crusade that would make birth control illegal. and would make abortion a crime even in the cases of rape. we're talking about your rights. i'm mark udall. you have the right to live life on your own terms and make your own choices. that's why i approve this message. >> democrats are getting much better at articulating the case against republicans on these issues. heading into today's voting in colorado, republicans have been worried about whether cory gardner's already tough race might be further jeopardized by what else the republican party decides to do to their ballot today. colorado republicans have been worried they might screw up their chances

mr. gardner's legislative record on the state level. song remained the same during his federal career.ng with the akin bill, he cosponsored a bill that would have made you ask your boss if you could take birth control. he also supported a national personhood bill, that would have made criminal abortions in all circumstances and also have outlawed the birth control pill. gardner was a co-sponsor on that in 2012 and as recently as 2013. when he was running for congress, he said that he would personally sponsor legislation to put an end to abortion. >> my question is, do you believe that abortion is the killing of an unborn child. and if yes, are you willing to carry legislation to end the practice? >> yes, i have the legislative background to back it up. >> a hat tip to the colorado newspaper to holding on to that audio. if his voting record wasn't consistent enough, you have the tape. and that's inconvenient with him who's seen for radical anti-abortion tapes. so, after all this, sponsoring personhood amendments on the state and federal level, cory gardner now says, hey, it was all a bi

mr. gardner. he believes he's got a lot of support from the hedge funds that own the company.his sort of stuff. you put all that together, that's why he's confident that he's going to do something here including a sort of a change that would merge dollar general with family dollar or something of that ilk that could create shareholder value. he thinks this company's way undervalued, thinks management's not very good from what i understand. liz: well, everybody should follow charlie on twitter because i have never received so many tweets -- >> following friday. liz: -- following friday's story that i've ever received. and people were saying, you know what? i don't know why i need to watch anyone else, i should watch charlie because this is stuff people can move on. >> why do we worry about the news here on fox business? because, you know, you can get a lot of talking heads talking about the markets up and down, but this is what it is. liz: right. and the combined increase of 2.74 billion in market value could -- >> but that's why people need business news. it gives them somethi

mr. gardner get right? ofhe got right the necessity stopping the bleeding in the banking system. was housed do that. one, he took a victory lap on the issue of tarp, the bailouts up banks. he goes into this discourse about how this was the best of all possible bailouts given long regulation. i believe he was wrong on both counts. the victory lap was certainly the wrong thing to say. the banks paid back tarp, which they have, it comes at absolutely no connection to the efficacy of the policy itself. the bottom line is the fed has been pumping over $70 trillion of lending into the banking system during that period. trillion of lending into the banking system during that period. >> as we look to the next crisis, we still have to deal with multiple institutions and multiple people in the room. tim geithner is only one voice. >> it is a powerful voice during time in the obama administration. by the time larry summers left in, he was the only economic voice and he is not an economist. he was very close to the president. a president who does not have a of economic theory. he was pushing

mr. gardner is trying to unseed senator mark udall this november for the senate seat, and udall is pushing a very similar bill in the senate side. it hasn't gotten quite as much tratching. >> on energy the white house isn't idle this week, either. they tweeted that one year ago president obama announced his climate action plan. check out the progress we have made. is there any area of agreement between what the house wants to do, house republicans, and the white house? >> not really. like i say that has been the case for quite some time. this is -- we are sort of at that time of year where everything -- all attention turns to messaging ahead of the november elections. i think this week it's just another example of that. >> nick juliano is environment and energy daily reporter covering debate on energy bills in the house. thank you for joining us. >> thanks so much for having me. >> both on amendments to that bill coming -- votes on amendments to the bill coming up. the house in recess subject to the call of the chair. we'll have live coverage when members return here on c-span. as the hous

gardner's assessment. >> the spatter places the shoe within an area capable of receiving spatter, and the spatter is being generated by some impact into a blood source, which, in this case, is mrshamilton. >> and blood spatter found four inches up inside of his right shirt cuff was most telling. it was direct spatter, meaning the blood landed directly on the shirt. for spatter to get up inside the cuff meant it had to be traveling at some speed. >> for it to get on the inside, the blood has to be coming at an angle capable of missing the wrist and the edge of the cuff and the outside and going on the inside of it. that puts very limited positions with which that could have occurred. >> the only way that could have happened is from somebody using their hand to either hold a weapon or something like that, and beat -- beat susan hamilton and the blood droplets come spewing off to be driven up in that angle. >> scientists performed dna testing on each and every bloodstain on dr. hamilton's shirt and shoes. it was all susan's blood. luminol tests revealed even more of susan's blood on the inside of dr. hamilton's car. >> there was blood found on the steering wheel. there was blood f
