mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. my friend and colleague from pennsylvania pointed out in the rules committee last night that it was the approval process that was holding up the dredging project for the port of savannah. just yesterday, the "atlanta journal constitution" refuted this claim. in reality, this project and countless others like it is held up by a lack of funding. to quote the article, in the old days a congress that didn't agree with white house priorities simply loaded its own projects into the budget in a bit of horse trading, but republicans, particularly in the house, have placed such bargaining out of bounds. it's a self-imposed restrictions on their own influence. because, under the house rules, this is an earmark, the savannah river port dredging, would be an earmark. and for us to place something in the budget which is not in the budget already, that's not allowed. that's a quote from my colleague, representative kingston. because it's an earmark, in other words, congress or its representatives w

mr. johnson. >> i'm mr. johnson legislation aid to supervisor breed in district 5. i'll reiterate what we said at the board of supervisors hearing and the mta meeting. there are unique unique circumstances in the panhandle the park is frequented by bicyclists and dog-walkers and pedestrian see. the path is often overflowing and there's discussions about creating an additional park. large vehicles parked on the street are a safety harassed to people of the park and supervisor breed supports the issues in the panel. there are other issues like the homelessness and panhandleers. i think there are special circumstances on the panhandle and for that reason the supervisor asks for your support there >> thank you very much. (calling names). good afternoon. >> hello. in our neighborhood we have another set of circumstances we don't have a lot of trailers ours are mainly the big moving vans that are full of graffiti. we have people parking big trucks and vans of garbage and come up with a little truck and a load those are people running their businesses on the street we are

mr. johnson, for his introducing this bill as well. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentleman from washington. mr. hastings: thank you, mr. chairman. i'm very pleased to yield three minutes to a new member, the gentleman from -- not necessarily a brand new member, but a newer member, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly. the chair: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for three minutes. mr. kelly: i thank the chairman. mr. chairman, i rise today in really strong support of h.r. 2824. i think if we go back to the president's original candidacy, he said, listen, if you want to continue to make electricity oosing coal-fired power plants, you can do it, but we're going to bankrupt you. there's no question about the war on coal. it is factual. now we come here today and i think that the area of the country that i represent is western pennsylvania, it's hard to look at a source that is so abundant, so accessible, so affordable, so reliant and so sustainable it keeps our e

mr. johnson: mr. speaker, this is simple. there are two competing views on the floor right now about the future of america. one side believes that the key to america remaining the leader of the free world starts with the robust american economy led by a strong and stable energy market. an america that then leverages a healthy america and a strong energy market to help allies across the globe like the ukraine, japan and others. an america that can go toe to toe with the russians as they leverage their energy resources to try to achieve their political ambitions. an america that creates energy jobs here at home in a way that balances the duo need of a vibrant economy and a healthy environment. now, that other competing view would rather see american manufacturers and hardworking middle-class families pay more for their electricity. mr. speaker, that's not fair. the other side talks a big game , about being for an all-of-the-above energy policy, but every turn tries to shut down our fossil fuel production and use. the other side

mr. johnson. as the downtown grand hosts we believe should have nobody over his years of experience with mr. johnson. >> all right. kimberly, this guy flies into vegas, his girlfriend. he drinks in the limo. he gets to the restaurant and he drinks at the restaurant. he gambles and he loses and takes out a loan and they comp him drinks and he's out half a million. is this i go a loser or a legal leg to stand on? >> there goes the engagement ring. i think he can make a case. the best he can do is try to settle. casino lawyers are regularly used to dealing with these types of cases. a very bad precedent if they went ahead and said we'll forgive the debt, et cetera, our bad because everybody who had a couple and too many spiked shirley temple cocktails will be claiming i'm not responsible for the debt. you should have known i was intoxicated. i don't normally drink this much, et cetera,ette, but he has a little bit of an argument to make because he has a history there so they know him, so if it's eric

mr. johnson to lurn to the stand tomorrow.ught out kevin lerena, a professional boxer who was out for a meal with oscar pistorius january a year ago. he was on the stand to talk about what oscar pistorius allegedly shot a gun under the table. >> you saw the gun being passed under the table? >> the movements, the action. i didn't see the gun. >> you heard what it was said? >> one up. >> what did you understand what up? >> that there's one loaded in the chamber. people that carry guns, i suppose carry one up. >> and what happened next? >> a shot went off. a shot went off in the restaurant and then there was complete silence. once the shot went off i looked down, i was in shock and i looked down on the floor and exactly where my foot was stationary, there was like a hole in the floor. >> the court has now adjourned while the defense prepares to talk to mr. lerena. you can always keep up to date. bbc's andrew harding is there tweeting live from the court once it's back in session. he's @bbcandrewh. stay with us here on "bbc world

mr. johnson. the chairman: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for three minutes. mr. johnson: today i rise in strong support of h.r. 2824, the preventing government waste and protecting coal mining jobs in america act. legislation that i introduced with my friend and colleague, congressman doug lamborn. this important legislation addresses the administration's flawed, waste of taxpayer money, and job killing rewrite of the stream buffer zone rule. immediately upon taking over in 2009, the administration began their efforts to rewrite the stream buffer zone rule even though a new rule had just been finished in 2008. from the beginning the office of surface mining and the department of interior fumbled the ball and it's been a train wreck and lack of leadership over the past five years. nearly $10 million of taxpayer money has been wasted by the administration in their attempts to destroy thousands of direct and indirect jobs and cause electricity prices to skyrocket. . would knowed prench -- we know the preferred rule would cost thousands of direct and indirect jobs, no

mr. johnson. we put out an ask for mr. mastro, we don't hear back from his office, we hear from the governor's office. what's your first reaction when you hear that? >> just as you said, this is just a situation -- they are connected at the hip. they are -- there's a relationship there and i don't know how you could say that this was a thorough investigation when you don't have the major suspects so to speak who are involved in this so sparse i'm concerned this was a public relations stunt or report and it's the target audiences are the people in iowa and the northeast and in the south for this upcoming primary campaign. the people in new jersey -- no one in new jersey, very few people in new jersey think that this governor didn't know what was going on. >> barbara, your thoughts on a request going out to the guy that was doing the investigation if we don't hear back from his office. apparently mastro's office can't speak for themselves, they'll just let the governor's office handle it. how does that strike you? >> it's so

mr. johnson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for three minutes. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise in strong support for this rule which will govern debate on important legislation that my colleague, doug lamborn, and i have introduced. this legislation, the preventing government waste and protecting coal mining jobs in america, would stop the administration from destroying thousands of direct and indirect coal mining jobs and stop the price of electricity in places like ohio from skyrocketing. since the early days of this administration, mr. speaker, the office of surface mining at the department of the interior has been trying to rewrite a 2008 coal mining rule. this rewrite has been fraught with mismanagement, waste of taxpayer dollars, intimidation by contractors of o.s.m. employees towards the contractors working on the rule, and even the director of o.s.m. demanding that the contractors change the job loss estimates because it would look bad politically for the administration. but look, don't take my word for it. you c

mr. johnson was. he had 7 or 10 drinks. you can not only allow him not to gamble. allow him to drink. it was a double. they were bringing him numerous drinks and they had got him 500 grand. and that's why they allowed it. >> nicely done. >> he said they gave him 20 drinks and jana, dave is right. there is a nevada law prohibiting the fro drinks. >> i have two drinks for this guy. permanent responsibility. we would have no vegas. and it is not the responsibility of a pit boss to determine how drunk you are. no one held him down and no one poured it down his throat. if he was one, would he have to give 500,000. >> let me challenge you. laws in 48 states that are similar. if you are a waitress or a water and somebody whom you serve gets in a drunk driving accident on the way home, you as the wait er and waitress is in trouble. >> it is a crime to drink and drive. it is not a crime to roll the do is in a casippo. it is different. >> he became the victim and it should be a crime. he was so drunk that in it a surveillance video will show this. the catchereds were falling

mr. johnson. >> thank you. it's not so much the sheer volume of criminal laws on the books and how they are apportioned among the various titles of the u.s. code. it's really a matter of what is the impact over over criminalization on society. and i think that from the standpoint of how the committee should approach this issue, i think we should do it in a piecemeal fashion as opposed to an overall solution, because it would simply take too much time to get at the worst aspects of overcriminallization and in my mind, it has to do with the realm of drug prosecutions, and to taked back on one of the issues that mr. labrador raised, the defendant's ability to take a case to trial. anytime you can get a two to three percent base offense -- excuse me -- offense level downward, departure, for acceptance of responsibility, then it means that if you go to trial, then you are going to be deprived of that downward departure, and in fact you would probably end up at the top end if you dared to go to trial and then testify

mr. johnson had pulled up to this location right directly across from us, at which point he was shot andalmost instantly. it was a single shot. we know that the shot came back from the wood line no more than 30 to 50 yards away. >> as you can see, the forward most bus up there is the one where the -- >> johnson's death brings the entire case home to montgomery county. >> i can remember just thinking, they're back. >> police find another note in the woods. >> we knew that if we could engage them, we would be that much closer to them either screwing up or making another mistake that would help us catch them. >> they did exactly what we asked them to do. they started writing us letters, they started calling. >> one of the phone calls basically told us we needed to look at a robbery that had occurred in montgomery, alabama. >> the call, it later turned out, was from lee boyd malvo. was he just bragging or hoping to get caught? no one knows, but it was a critical break. >> he didn't identify himself as the sniper. he says, you just got to look at that. >> i called montgomery, alabama. i said,

mr. johnson, i must stop you. don't know what you're doing to yourself. >> reporter: the defense argues johnson communicated his version of events with his wife, michelle burger, who also testified and that similarities in their testimony imply they discussed what they would say in court. >> once witnesses start to introduce dishonesty then i wonder about it because right from the beginning it should have been honest. >> reporter: now, as damning as this testimony might be about another shooting incident, it could prove some of the charges against oscar pistorius, what we don't know, yet, is how this might prove he intended to murder his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. george. >> okay, hamish, thanks very much. >>> we turn to that new crackdown by one airline on oversized carry-ons. united says it's time to get tough and enforce rules requiring passengers to check the big bags and pay the charges. the big question, will it help make flying more comfortable for everyone else. abc's david kerley has the story. >> report

mr. johnson had a significant drug problem, and he was conducting those burglaries to help support that habitet haynes identified johnson in a photo lineup. >> so i'm sure at that point, edmond investigators clearly thought they had their man. >> by this time, dna testing was standard practice. so, johnson's dna was compared to semen from janet haynes' rape test kit, and his footprints were compared to the bloody footprints at the crime scene. >> it was just a matter of days that we got those results back, and conclusively excluded him as a suspect of this homicide. it was not his footprint. it was not his dna type that was left behind. >> the case went cold again. investigators never gave up, but they were running out of ideas. three years later, on a hunch, they revisited the scene of the crime, not even sure what they were looking for. >> we were just looking around, because it had sat there for several years, vacant. >> was there anything they missed, something they hadn't thought of? and then they found a potential clue. >> right on the floor in the kitchen area is the bra. >> it didn't

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today with a heavy heart. i ran for congress to help people and it's past time to extend emergency unemployment insurance, and i'm ready to vote to do so today. unfortunately this republican congress is denying more than two million people across the country the opportunity to support their families and get back on their feet. extending emergency unemployment insurance is simply the right thing to do. have republicans lost their compassion or have they simply lost touch with reality? every week another 72,000 americans run out of unemployment insurance. in georgia, more than 75,000 people have already been cut off. this is supposed to be a lifeline for people who are involuntarily unemployed. no one wants to be unemployed. it is essential that we show the compassion our forefathers displayed when america was rebuilding itself after the great depression. we must help those who are looking for work. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from massachusetts seek recog

mr. johnson. they should have known over his experience. stuart: all rise, the judge is here.ot a low-level sort of case. if you are drunk, are you or are you not responsible for what you are doing. >> the reason we have this litigation is because of a statute which shifts the blame from the drinker to the server of the alcohol. to the conductor of the gambling. it actually says if this person is so drunk that they really are inebriated, you cannot serve them lose. if they are that drunk, you cannot let them wager that much money. you must protect them from them the establishment is liable. stuart: how is that possible. how come we have that statute. you get your money back if you drink too much. >> i do not know the politics behind the statute did that statute is in place where ever there is gambling. charles: a real famous case. he owned the act. he had a trucking company. he had a lavish lifestyle. five wives. here is the testimony from a cocktail waitress. she said her job was to keep his glass filled. you can see when he would sign for money. his signature got so sloppy.

johnson. thank you mr. axelrod. thank you for coming on. it's the fist time. i appreciate it very much. nator johnson, let me go to you first. you saw the number 6 million? do you buy it? >> the mckenzie study showed up those people buying the policies, only 25% were previously uninsured. if you start doing the math, larry, you're talking about 1 to 2 million people that, you know, from the uninsured, the 48 -- wasn't that the whole concept of obamacare. this has been a disaster across the board. >> disaster across the board, david axelrod, give you a chance to react to that. let me add to that. to me, sir, and i may be dead wrong on this, i think the individual mandate is basically gone. there will be no -- there will be no end to the exemptions, whether you're renewing canceled policies, whether you have a hardship for the rest of the people, or whether you're late to enroll because of the loopholes. to me the president is ending his own individual mandate. am i wrong about that? >> yeah, i think you are wrong about that, larry, first of all, let me say congratulations on a great run.

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in opposition to h.r. 4138, the enforce act. the enforce act seeks to diminish the power of the executive branch by giving congress the ability to act as an enforcement agency. as the most do nothingness house of representatives in american history, this body doesn't need any extra responsibilities, especially that which would be unconstitutional. the seminal case of marbury vs. madison not only established judicial power to review the constitutionality of laws and actions, but it affirms the fact that we have three separate co-equal branches of government. if there is an issue with the president failing to execute the laws, the supreme court has the authority by way of writ of mandamus, to compel the president to act. but have my righteously indignant friends on the other side of the aisle sought to use that process to check the alleged abuse of authority by the president? no, they have not. why haven't they sued to force this president to enforce laws that they contend he has

mr. chairman. senator johnson referenced the fact that there many people that believe this is a sign of russian weakness in the sense that only two weeks ago russia have the president of the ukraine essentially under their palm both economic and politically a country that had reversed course and had committed into a new economic relationship with russia that moved away from an economic association with europe and today the situation is very different. there are 43 million other ukrainians which represent 95% of the country's population which now have a government towards europe, and russia now faces economic sanctions from the united states and europe if not crippling will certainly be damaging and faces a future is somewhat of an international pariah who has had much lesser ability to influence the future course of democratic and economic values. and so ultimately i guess the question is what is the end goal here? this was a panicked reaction to yanukovych's removal from office than what he is seeking here is not
