mr. governor, this is the real situation.start making some serious accommodations. yes. >> kwame kilpatrick. what went wrong there? >> greed. >> just old school? >> greedy. he was greedy. i didn't support him in the beginning. and when he was -- and i was one of his biggest critics. but when he got in trouble, who did he call? he called me. >> called you. >> i should have listened to my wife. she said, don't be messing with them. >> are there good guys out there who could presumably run for office and win? >> there's a lot of guys, yes, but they don't want to run. there's a lot of people -- >> why won't they run? >> you've got to take the bad that come along with it. you got to take the garbage. >> why should a bright young guy out of -- fresh out of law school start thinking about running for anything in the city of detroit? >> sooner or later, it's going to be all right. it's going to come -- it's going to be all right. it's a tough town. >> is detroit going to turn things around? i could lie and tell you, yes. but you know

mr. governor, thank you. vice president's language specifically chosen, deeply concerned.that strong enough? >> well, i think that's appropriate terminology. it was spoken in tokyo where coordinating a lot of what goes on in the region with our ally, japan, and also with korea to some extent is absolutely critical at this point. and the language used was appropriate given the circumstances. now it will all play out in beijing as he meets with the new leader of china who he got to know on a personal level when they were vice presidents together. she served as vice president before becoming president of china. so they have a preexisting relationship. it is actually quite unusual for the head of china to accord this amount of time to the vice president of the united states. so he's giving him a private dinner. he spent two hours with him in a by lateral meeting. all of that presumably is taking us in a direction that defines some parameters around the drama that's playing out in the east china sea. >> the u.s. has agreed to comply with china's air defense identification zone

mr. governor-elect? "fiat justitia ruat caelum"" the engraved gavel. he loved it.back here today, sir. we are having it mounted. yeah, i'm gonna hang it on the wall there. words to live by. "fiat justitia ruat caelum." "let justice be done though the heavens fall." it's beautiful. okay, so, diane lockhart? we'd like you to attend a press conference tonight. diane lockhart is a perfectly charming woman with an unobjectionably appropriate resume, who, when i met her, took every opportunity to defend her perfectly corrupt legal partner. and you'd like her to...? explain herself. publicly. i want to know why her firm still represents chicago's top drug dealer. i want to know how she disagrees with her disbarred partner. i want what you want, sir. "fiat justitia ruat.."" oh, this is such idiotic crap. you don't want her because you're a sexist old fool. peter: eli! and you are a rude backroom huckster. but that is irrelevant to this. chief justice, diane lockhart is my choice. it is so good to see you, sir. (phones ringing) well, this is a pleasant surprise. how nice to

i shall act as chairman of the discussion between governor reagan and mr. buckley. the subject of the discussion is, "is it possible to be a good governor"? governor reagan, would you answer mr. buckley's questions? has not the federal government preempted the principal sources of taxation? >> this is a great problem facing the states and endangering the very federal system of a federation of sovereign states. the federal government has preempted so much of the tax source, the state find itself hard put to find sources without upsetting the economic balance that can keep our economy moving and then in turn the state in its desperation for money, reduces the local community. people must depend every day are furnished. education, police protection, maintenance of the streets. sewage, garbage disposal, all of the services. your local communities are more desperate than the states so the states end up taxing and then putting back a great portion of the money taxed by the state of california goes back to the local communities. we go to washington, and we are faced with as

mr. hancock, and, of course, former governor gray davis.lective leadership made this possible. there are several heads of the department of transportation who have been sobered with this project. from project selection from the original decision to construct the new bridge thought the management and political challenges in sacramento. (calling names) from the wilson administration and my colleague today malcolm. thank you all (clapping) i've learned a thing or two from steve my current boss and i want to thing governor brown. this project hit a bumpy road associated with some bolts in the bridge but during that time the governor speculated first a steady i didn't focus on safety and wisdom to let the engineers make the decision when the bridge is safe and i appreciate that kind of direction from above to thank you governor and monthly i want to thank the people from the bay pr there have been challenges from moving this forward but through it all the people of that region have speculated great, great patience and we reward that patience wit

mr. kean's home district shortly before a member of the governor's staff called mr.t was eliminated in redistricting the following year. democratic assemblyman john wis newsky told "the new york times," every organization takes its cues from the leadership as to what's acceptable and what's not, and this governor, in his public appearances, has made thuggery acceptable. and therein lies the divide. some see it one way, some see it another. you can have the final word, john nichols. >> the final word is that the republican presidential process, at least for now, starts in a state called iowa and there's a phrase called midwest nice. the bottom line is that you don't start telling people who can come to the living room or the church basement or the community center to meet you and talk to you. you play games like that, and you're going to find that a gentleman named mike huckabee is going to come sneaking up on you very quickly. chris christie cannot bring this style to the midwest and be a big winner. >> i felt as the if i saw the starting gun truly be fired on christ

yellen of california to be chairman of the board of governors. mr. durbin: mr. president? the presiding officer: the assistant majority leader. mr. durbin: i ask consent the senate proceed to legislative session. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. durbin: i move to proceed to calendar number 265, s. 1845. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: motion to proceed to calendar number 265, s. 1845, a bill to provide for the extension of certain unemployment benefits and for other purposes. mr. durbin: mr. president, i have a cloture motion at the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the cloture motion. the clerk: cloture motion, we the undersigned senators in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate hereby move to bring to a close a debate on the motion to proceed to calendar number 265, s. 1845, a bill to provide for the extension of certain unemployment benefits and for other purposes signed by 17 senators as follows: reed of rhode island, durbin, heinrich, carper, schumer,

, an officer with state fighters union says unions and the governor needed to start talking to one another. a republican state senator called mrfrom the governor and then used an obscene phrase to describe what the governor thought he should do. that call was made by bill baroni one of the appointees that resigned from the bridge controversy. here we have baroni making this call. could this go into a pattern here, ryan? >> i think certainly because whether or not chris christie actually picked up the phone and called these fellows and said, hey, i want you to shut down this bridge so that it jams up traffic in this town as retaliation, whether or not he actually did that, he created the climate in which they thought this was the kind of thing that chris christie wanted done. it's sort of strange to hear him protest at this point that there's this image of him being projected as a bully when that's what launched him to the stage. so, you know, where there's smoke, there's fire. in this case a lot of the fire has been started by christie himself. >> but if we're dealing with 2016, it's one thing to have a guy in your face that's

you see, he's in charge of the republican governors association, which tries to get republicans elected. yesterday, christie tried to set the record straight. >> mrastorino hasn't told me or anyone else he's running for governor. i'm not supporting somebody who doesn't say -- who won't say whether they're running or not. so, i think it's much ado about nothing, and my guess is that it's some people, irresponsible folks who are trying to urge mr. astorino to run to try to create an image that, you know, i'm urging him to run. i'm not urging him to do anything. he came and asked for time, specifically asked for time with me and mary pat for he and his wife to meet with the two of us to talk about the impact this has on their family. they have young children like we do, and that's what the whole conversation was about. when we have a republican nominee for governor of new york, then i'll support the republican nominee for governor of new york. >> christie and cuomo, of course, both considered potential 2016 contenders for president. >>> well, we have some dramatic, new video from a security camera near the scene of that car crash that killed actor p

mr. governor, i really appreciate it. one comment, i want to thank you for all of the safety measures, school safety issues that you've been supporting and taking leadership on both statewide and nationally. but secondly, and rick alluded to secretary duncan and stephanie simon's piece. has the federal government, especially in k-12, considering the stalemate of esea become irrelevant to the work you're doing, or is there a role that the central government can play that complements the work both your local and state are playing? >> i think -- well, listen, go back to the comment about $100 million grant program or other programs of going -- even if you don't get one of those grants, doing the work to put yourself in a position to compete is a learning experience. and it's driving thought change in school district after school district that enters that application process. i don't -- i think duncan is very relevant in driving the conversation. schools are run on a local level. in fact, they're not run, you know, the state

example how the recovery act -- i don't know if you were able to hear the conversation with governor rendell, mr change the culture in washington, d.c. to get more of a long term view. we talk about every issue kicking the can, the recovery act we could have spontaneity lot of money to do what you're talking about but we did not. how does the culture change >> well, brian, look. we spent of the 800 billion in the economic recovery plan we got 48 billion. we spent 48 billion in two years, we put 65,000 people to work in 15,000 projects. >> i'll push back a little bit. the shovel ready thing was questionable because i saw parts of the northeast just a lot of repaved roads not new project, not transformational projects. it got people to work but it didn't change any of the elemental stuff that we need fixed. >> look, brian, i don't disagree with that. we followed the law. the law said spend the money in two years. get the money out the door. put people to work. so we used our good partnerships with governors and others to fix up some roads and fix up some bridges, and, you know, really do what we c

for governor of new york, i'll support the republican nominee for governor of new york. >> what happened? >> i have no idea, because mres, he is. >> won by a 2-1 margin up there as a conservative in a very democratic area. but everybody there knew he was running. i mean, i don't understand the confusion here. he's talked to ed cox and he's running. >> why would it be a bad thing? if chris christie is the head of the rg action you would assume he would take up the cause of mr. astorino. i don't know why he'd run away from that. >> he and andrew cuomo have had a good relationship on the phone. when cuomo first got elected he was calling chris christie an awful lot. not that he'd want to admit that to his democrat friends, but he got a lot of guidance from chris christie early on. so i guess they have a pretty close relationship. and i'm sure -- i'm not going to actually speculate what went on between the two of them. >> yeah. i wonder. >> well, i'm just going to stop there. they've had a very good relationship over the phone for the past several years. >> did they just do you think violated a kind of incumbent's protect

. >>> and joining us ten years later, howard dean, former governor of vermont, former chair of the dnc and founder of democracy for america. mr have you with us, governor. thank you. >> thanks for having me on, ed. >> you took heat even from democrats for saying saddam's capture didn't make us safer and also said you didn't think it changed much. looking back ten years after the fact, do you have the same opinion? >> i'm anxious to hear as you view this now, your thoughts on that news cycle. >> you know what, the washington people always say a gaffe is when you tell the truth in washington and they don't think you should have. the truth is, iraq is now essentially a satellite state of iran which is a really dangerous country for us, for the west. that maliki has become essentially a pawn of the iraqi mullah -- the iranian mullahs. he's slaughtering sunnis around the country and also the kurds i think are about to become independent. they're already building their own pipeline in turkey, cut their own oil deals with turkey. so, no, i think the iraq war was a very foolish thing to do. we caught saddam, great day for the armed f

times and at one point he was driving the governor of texas and john connally and the governor's wife. she said mr. president, you can't say they don't love you in dallas today. down the street they are going to make the turn. tell us about oz called. where was he and how did he get there in that moment? >> he brought in the rifle to work that morning and told the man that drove him turn it around where i'm staying. the house already had drapes and curtains and as an aside the searched the entire building after the assassination and no curtain rods were ever found. so she hides the rifle and most of the workers were coming down for lunch to watch the president in the book depository. he doesn't have a radio and he knows when the president is about to arrive and knows when the president comes to houston street people of what we are going to start leaving said that is his signal jfk is coming close. he drove right towards him. >> everyone is looking at the book depository and there was the windshield with a car and a metal bar over the car to which the roof can be attached and then there's governor

yellen of california to be chairman of the board of governors of the federal reserve system. mr. reid: i have a cloture motion at the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: cloture motion: we, the undersigned senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the nomination of jaanet l. yellen. signed by 1 senators as follows: mr. reid: i ask that the reading of the nails be waived. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: now move to proceed to legislative session. the presiding officer: question is on the motion. all in favor say aye. all opposed, no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the motion is agreed to. mr. reid: i now move to proceed to executive session to consider calendar number 455. the presiding officer: question is on the motion. all in favor say aye. all opposed, no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the motion is agreed to. the clerk will report the nomination. the clerk: nomination, department of veterans affairs,

mrs. clinton? >> right. >> governor of the state she was senator of.send a signal that he's taking on hillary and we end up with the media going through this andrew cuomo trying to stop hillary kind of headline? >> so both of them, each of them can afford to wait longer than anyone, which makes it hard fer you're someone else who wants to -- >> if you get dannel malloy of connecticut to jump in you have a tristate -- completely covered at that point. but you were saying something, reverend al, i think goes further than just the media. doesn't it behoove andrew kuo know not to jump in and team hillary would pounce, would they not? >> no question. and in front of the camera and behind the saeps to punish people who are going to cross them. so everyone's giving her space as they should. the way people say it to me is there's not a single sign she's not going to run which is different from saying she's in. but all the signs for staff, donors, anybody who wants to take the plunge is keep your poulder -- >> don't forget mike's point that cuomo was hud secret

while he has been maintaining that publicly he has been on the horn to new york governor andrew cuomo, complaining about this. mris story to please go away. and reportedly he is unhappy about the role of new york state employees of the port authority, who have been advancing the investigation and trying to get to the bottom of it. governor chris christie, reportedly does not want that. and he has been trying to make this go away by making it seem hilarious even though he is privately on the phone with his fellow governor on the other side of the bridge saying how much he would look governor cuomo to weigh in to make this thing go away. it is still kind of a hilarious story. but becoming significantly less hilarious for governor chris christie. how long can he go on before he actually explains what happened here? there is still is no explanation for what happened here that makes any sense and seems to be born out by the facts. what happened. and when is the governor going to explain it?

governor. chairman ryan used the opportunity to critique big government. and obamacare. it was mr. ryan's first trip back to the hawkeye state since he became the number two on the mitt romney presidential ticket in the 2012 presidential election. well, this time around so far it's mr. ryan himself who is generating some presidential top of the ticket buzz. iowa holds the fist caulk nuts nation in the next presidential election. 2016. in an interview ryan showed ankle. after next year's mid-term election he will be more forthcoming. in the meantime, the 43 year congressman has been fully engaged chairing the powerful house budget committee, hammering out a budget with senate ranking democrat patty murray. fiscal minded conservatives have not forgotten how paul ryan has played a prominent role in drafting the house's budget plan. iowa's republican governor with five nonconsecutive terms was interviewed by the washington times, where he saluted chairman ryan, quote, he is one of the very few people in washington who is really trying to do something significant to get the country back

mr. speaker, is not conducive to that kind of efficiency. >> which brings me to you, governor.0%. certainly there are things that government could do better, but it's difficult when you have a party committed as see the government as an enemy rather than being part of the answer. i am curious. there seems to be now, a possible thaw. paul ryan, who has been the paul revere for these harsh cutbacks and take no prisoners approach is now apparently waving the white flag a bit. it looks like the deal that's coming up, we're going to raise the revenues, bust these spending caps. are we seeing the beginning of a more reasonable paul rye jan? a more reasonable republican party? will you support paul ryan when the crazies come after him? >> let me applaud the speaker for a classic newtonian description. continued hats off. on the issue of competency, if you and i went to dinner right after this show, van and i paid with my visa card or american sxres card, we would have a charge that would be instantly registered almost 100% accurate and on my doorstep invoice 28 days later, it's almost

mr. barton's law and we hope it can work together. >> thank you. from my perspective, the governor of new jersey, my close friend, governor christie, try to work in a comprehensive fashion and we try to work with all of those who are interested in this issue, including all of those on this panel. and i want to thank the panel. and mr. abboud, you certainly represent a very great corporation in this country, sands, and i deeply respect that. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. lance. and now the chairman emeritus for the full committee, mr. joe barton. you are recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me start out, i was being somewhat flippant when i talked about god being for this bill. obviously god doesn't care a fig one way or another about our bill. but i will say as a practicing christian that god does give men and women free will. and i think we ought to have a law that reflects free will in this issue. i did not say in my opening statement, but we do have some representatives of the indian casinos and indian gaming associations in the room and they were invited to

mrs. comley moved and i could see that the governor was covered covered with blood. that was the first time i knew that. and we raced to the hospital. this is after we had arrived. when we arrived there, there was nobody there. we arrived and we had to move the governor out of the car before we could do anything because of the way that the car was configured. he was sitting in the jump seat right in front of me. and they finally got him up on a gurney and put him in trauma room two. and then we went to help the president. mrs. kennedy had a hold of him and i said, please let us help the president. no response. i knew pretty much how she thought and i realized the problem was that she didn't want anyone to see the condition that he was in because it was horrible. so i took off my suit coat and covered his head and upper back and as soon as i do that, she let go. and we put him on the gurney and raced him to the emergency room. and many of the doctors reacted immediately, trying to do everything they could to resuscitate the president. >> you are inside. outside the pr

the question is, when will the board of governors of the federal reserve system act in this matter? >> mr. ahamed, do you think the fed is comfortable taking on this role of saying we'd actually like to see the financial structure change to avoid a repeat of what we had in 2008 and not as it pertains drastically, but changed toward a more fail-safe type of structure than it had in 2008? >> i'm probably the wrong person to ask about the fed. i mean, my impression is that whenever i've spoken to either people in treasury or the fed, their performance would have been not to have the voel con rule, but more to focus on capital. essentially, to try to prevent a crisis by raising capital requirements. and i'm not an expert in this, but it seems to me, broader, simpler regulations are better than sort of very intrusive regulati regulations, so i've always been a fan of increased capital requirements. >> can i invite questions from the audience? i see one back there. >> congress has asked that the federal reserve define what it will do with 13-3, if the fed hasn't defined that, it's dragging its

mrs. fischer: madam president, i am so very fortunate to have senator johanns as the senior senator from nebraska. he has a wealth of experience as a former governor, as the secretary of agriculture and as a united states senator. so he has definitely been a mentor to me. and i believe perhaps nebraska can mentor the united states senate through the trying times that we're facing right now. as senator johanns said, we are nonpartisan. we do not caucus. we do not have majority or minority leaders because we are nonpartisan. so we don't have that leadership structure in our state that we have here in the united states senate. in the state of nebraska, if you want to be part of leadership, you stand up on the first day of the legislative session. you have to nominate yourself and run for that position. so you would nominate yourself for speaker, and then we do a secret ballot. it is 25 votes. and you would be speaker because there's only 49 of us. and then we go through the committees, and we have 14 standing committees. so as chair of the transportation and khre communications committee -- and telecommunications committee i had to stand up on the fl

and rather than keep the fight on the political opponent, governor romney, the obama campaign went after the donors. mr. van der sloop didn't have a criminal background, nor did any of the other romney donors that were similarly targeted. but shortly after he was denounced by the obama campaign in this manner, a democratic opposition researcher began researching his divorce records. meanwhile, the i.r.s. decided to audit two years worth of his tax filings, and the labor department announced a separate audit of the immigrant workers employed at his cattle ranch. as kimberly strawsell wrote for the "wall street journal," -- quote -- "ever thinking american must henceforth wonder if mr. van der sloop has been targeted for inbe kweurry because of -- for inquiry because of his political leanings." we also know that this administration has harassed journalists, and although president obama said that this administration would be the most transparent administration in american history, it has proven not to be so. in the case of fox news correspondent james rosen, the obama justice department tracked him down l

mr. boehner, really, are they ridiculous? breaking news tonight. hawkish stanley fisher, that's right, he's a former governor of the central bank of israel and looks like he'll be appointed as the vice chair of our federal reserve. i think that's a big reason stocks sold off today because mr. fisher will be a counter to the dovish janet yellen but fisher is one smart guy. all those stories are coming up on "the kudlow report," beginning right now. >>> we're live 7:00 p.m. eastern 4:00 p.m. pacific. i'm larry kudlow. this is "the kudlow report". we'll get to the obama care and budget news in a moment. first we have to start with a very important piece of developing news on the fed. let's go over to courtney regan for that story. good evening. >> reporter: stanley fish has been picked as the next vice chair of the fed and that's once janet yellen office into the top spot. stanley fisher ran the bank of israel. fisher is considered by many to be a hawk on interest rates which could change the balance of power inside the fed. >> thank you. that's exactly right. if janet yellen is the empress of the do was, profe

mrs. kennedy moved and i could see that the governor was covered in blood for knew he had also been shot. that was the first time i knew that. we raced to parkland hospital. this is seen as after we had arrived. when we arrived there, there was nobody there. we arrived and we had to move the governor out of the car before we did anything with the president because of the way the car was configured. he was sitting in the jump seat right in front of the president. we finally got him up on a journey and rushed him into the bridges room, putting and trauma room to. then we went to help the president. mrs. kennedy had a hold of him and she wouldn't let go. i played with it. i said, please, mrs. kennedy, let us hope the president. no response. i did it again. still no response. i had been with her for a little over four years so i knew pretty much how she thought, and i realized the problem was she didn't want anybody to see the condition he was in. because it was horrible. so i took off my suit coat. i covered up his head and his upper back. as soon as i did that she let go. and we put it on t

another senator who was disinvited from an event with the governor in his own district, and in all most every case, mrchristie waved off any suggestion he mad meted out retribution, but to many the incidents have left that impression. it has the been just as powerful in scaring off others who might dare to cross him. joining me now, hunter walker, who has been covering this story for talking points memo. hunter -- this bridge closure controversy possible scandal, is, has always seemed -- unlikely in and of itself to become a major national story about chris christie in terms of affecting his presidential campaign. but it does feed into this overall image that is -- only, now, i think being formed for, what will be -- chris christie as a presidential candidate. and it does seem -- to contain similar elements to the other stories that are well documented. >> you know what is interesting -- he always sort of revelled in having this reputation as kind of a tough -- guy who didn't take anything from his opponents. you know, a lot of the clips you played before, his people had actually posted them on to you

>> i don't know if the governor actually made a phone call and told these individuals, mr. wildstein and mr. baroni to do this alleged traffic study and close lanes, but it sure seems to me that it was done on his behalf when the mayor did not support him when he was running for the election. >> wait, you think it is -- you have worked with this governor, you're a re-elected representative in the state assembly. >> yes. >> you think it's plausible that chris christie, or chris christie's confederates would do something like this? >> well, when this first came to light and the legislature asked questions as to what is going on here, at first, there was no response. then they came up with this traffic study because it favored ft. lee residents, which made no sense at all, and mr. baroni came to the hearing with this large graphic depicting the lanes that were being shut down, and this particular entrance was set aside for ft. lee residents back in the 1930s, but there's no contract, nothing in writing about that, by the way, and there's no signage that says ft. lee residents

governors. and candidly although some conservatives don't necessarily -- are not mr. in love with him but chris christie deserves a lot of credit. he took on a very blue state and he really has changed a lot about "breakout" in a way that's very impressive and i think we ought to start from there. when i work with specific people in congress, a lot of different folks in the last couple days, been talking with rob portman who knows a lot about the irs. ron johnson who is a manufacture was elected to the city in wisconsin would be a good example. mike barr just as a medical doctor who served in the u.s. house. carries around bashing his a smart phone, but a smartphone has an app that does cardiology. so he can cash in your getting an electrocardiogram on his smartphone. he forgets where he going and what we're trying to college. tim griffin is a great congressman from arkansas. florida knows the jump direction where to go when. there's enough to be hopeful about. >> mr. speaker, we are taking questions from youtube. we've been online all week so we have some that people
