yeah, hence the name, "mr. greenea." >> look at the color. >> it's been the top seller for what, 45 years? >> yeah. >> that green tea's good. >> isn't it good? >> mr. green tea currently makes three pint flavors, and after being in business for this many years, well, that's not good enough. i want to see them expand their product offering, expand their flavors, and appeal to a much broader audience. what does it cost to launch, to develop a new flavor? >> a lot. >> between the milk and everything, we'll go to a facility, have it run, and test it. that gets expensive. i'm gonna say $10,000. >> launching a new product line is a costly investment, and it's risky, especially when you're dealing with co-packers, 'cause they're gonna charge you a fortune to make a small batch. >> if we wanted to get into, let's say, a hundred stores this year, in 2013, it'd probably cost us about $40,000 to $50,000. >> see, i think more than that, because-- >> do the two of you communicate about these numbers very often? >> michael does no

mr. green: thank you, mr. speaker. frank m. johnson in making this ruling, -- johnson, in making this ruling that allowed blacks to serve on juries, was taking a giant step forward in that he was bringing black people into the courthouse and they were now allowed to come right in and go right in and sit up front. black people haven't always been able to go into the courthouse and sit on the front row. they haven't always been respected when they've been in the court rooms. in my lifetime i have heard african-american lawyers referred to as boy in the courtrooms of this country. in my lifetime i've seen african-american lawyers required to wait while white lawyers were being served. in my lifetime, i've seen some things that i'm not proud of. but in my lifetime, i've seen great changes take place. and many of these changes took place because of people like frank m. johnson, unsung hero, people who have not received the kinds of accolades, the kinds of kudos that they merit for the actions that they took and the bravery that they

mr. green: first that comes to mind is sam rayburn who was speaker from 1940 until the early 1960's. and he was a prominent speaker in part because he lasted so long. he served off and on for 20 years. it's very rare to have a speaker last as long as that. certainly not more than two or three terms. but he also was a rare speaker in that he understood the house in which he serves. he understood what it was that motivated members of the house of representatives. he had what you might say is a feel for the chamber. that made it possible for him to get a lot done as speaker because he knew what was possible. he understood the part of the possible in congressional politics. some of the -- some major legislation that was enacted during that time period was enacted during his speakership, whether it was transportation legislation, some literal civil rights legislation, legislation related to world war ii. so he was in many ways one of the most effective and best known speakers of the house of represe

how much grow quickly mr. green as we wrap up with you how much of that is federal dollars in local dollars? >> guest: the majority of that is local dollars. we get federal dollars in terms of grants but all of our staff that are employed those are dollars and it is an investment in people. we need people to manage corrections. you need therapists in unique social workers. you need individuals that are really helping to address the needs of individuals and i think there's no equating how much money you throw at a problem as to how well you can fix fix it. how you distribute those dollars to those people those things and following the science and following the research and following the need and then kliewer devoid trying to bring it all together. >> host: we are going to talk about how some of those dollars are redistributed within the montgomery county correctional facility but mr. green we want to thank you for your time this morning and talking to our viewers. appreciate you letting us come there to montgomery co

mr. greene: you are not going to be able to quit this place. thank you so much, henry. good evening, everybody. how are you? wonderful kansas city weather out there. i was worried about you people with snow and how i have to be worried about you with torrential downpours. it is so good to be back. it is so good to be back. it is always a lot of fun to come back from casanovia college, in upstate new york, where the snow comes and comes and comes. it is wonderful to come from here to here. this is one of the best venues to speak in the entire country. [applause] mr. greene: the truman forum room has the wonderful ability to be scholarly and intimate at the same time. coming here to the truman forum is something i look forward to every single year. we started talking about this talk, henry and i, six or seven months ago. for anybody in the pr business, you know when you get invited someplace, they immediately want a blurb about what you will talk about. this is six months before. i came up with this concept, talking about the myths that persist about the 1952 presidential

mr. barton: to respond to what congressman green just said. the whole concept of this bill is to let willing buyers interact with willing sellers in a free market, transparentction fashion. if you subject the bill to some sort of discretionary permitting -- as mr. green's amendment would have done, you gut the bill. you desteroid entire purpose of the bill. as much as i respect my good friend from houston, texas, i respectfully had to object to that amendment. with that i want to yield one minute to the gentleman from the garden state of new jersey, mr. lance, a member of the committee. the chair: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized for one minute. mr. lance: thank you, mr. speaker, and i commend chairman emeritus barton's tremendous leadership on this issue. i rise today in strong support of the bill, bipartisan in nature, which will create thousands of american jobs, generate billions of dollars in revenue to states and locales and use our nation's natural resources as a counterbalance to the rogue actors currently dominating world o

. >> host: you mentioned earlier that the car companies, mr. green persian aren't talking to you much -- greenberg, aren't talking to you much. have they been reticent to discuss this issue? >> guest: i think they have. i mean, until this jeep hack it wasn't, i don't think, something that the average american was aware of, that an internet-connected vehicle could be hacked, that a car is basically a, you know, two-ton smartphone on wheels. and, you know, they're still, i think, they still believe that by avoiding the subject, they can kind of just prevent people from thinking about cars in that way. you know, but i think that's -- it's only a matter of time until this is sort of part of the mainstream awareness. and then i would really like to hear about the good things that i know the automotive companies are doing to secure vehicles, you know? i have heard that at least since the research in 2010 that took over a chevy impala, there's been no illusion within the car industry that this is possible. so, you know, it's certainly something that they're

mr. green: mr. speaker, -- mr. cleaver: words cannot explain the singular honor it is to stand in the well of the house of representatives in the congress of the united states of america. mr. speaker, stain here today on a mission of mercy and i believe a brief vignette can best explain what a mission of mercy is as i apply it to the circumstances for which i rise. mr. speaker, prior to coming to congress i served for more than a quarter century as a judge of a small claims justice court. and i can remember an occasion when a mother testified on behalf of her son. her appeal to me was along these lines, she said, judge, i'm not asking you for justice. i know he was wrong. but he's my son. i know he was wrong. i'm not asking for justice. i'm asking you for mercy. you have within your power to do justice or you can grant mercy. and i beg that you grant mercy o my son was her hugh and cry. mr. speaker -- hue and cry. mr. speaker, as i rise today, i rise in support of h.r. 563, sponsored by the honorable janice hahn. a

we are not demons. >> missed -- >> host: mr. greenentiments, and it is a perfect lead-in to where we are going. it's. it's a great lead-in to what we are focusing on. like in 2005. so we built this facility the wisdom that we would use this facility how can we make sure we are putting these transitions in place? 's the idea of reentry for all. for 40 years now individuals that qualify have the appropriate sentence and can go to that facility, live inside a facility, will work will work in the community and prepare for the journey home. eighteen months for us, six months or a year. the ideathe idea was just to start bringing these community services in the door for all of us, life can be a challenge. when you have been down for six months or a year losing that community contact my going out the door and perhaps having reentry supervision requirements from the courts the say we want you to go to the three in they are in a meetings a week, get your family back together, find a place to live and get a job and in many places sadly here is

mr. speaker. and this green line represents historical revenue, when we hit this big economic down turn over the past five years, mr. speaker, revenues collapsed. turns out if the american people can't find a job, the american people can't pay any taxes. . i say to my friends on the left, if you want more taxes in the tax base. create more jobs. when we ran out of jobs, we ran out of money, yet we spent even more because american families were hurting in that period of time. i graphed this out to 2024 and what you see is, under current law, this red line represents current law. if we add no new programs and don't spend any additional dollars, we just follow the make no new nd promises to the american people, the spending required by current law more than doubles current receive news. so we're not talking about raising somebody's taxes a percent or two. we are talking about doubling everyone's taxes, all across this country, in every category and when we do that, mr. speaker, that will solve the problem until abo
