i was assured by mr. ken that it would work when i came back. it's not working so i may have to come back or wing it. it's a two minute film that i produced for the board. i stayed up 'til 1:00. i was down here earlier, there's no way i can get it down now because it's a minute and 59 seconds so i'd like to come next week and i guess i'll just use my time to enter my objection, which i stated earlier in your offices that this set up isn't fair to the public. i came down here early today with my video. i stayed up 'til 1 o'clock last night. it's pretty important to me. i think it's pretty slick. i think you'll enjoy watching my video rather than listening to me talk. i was assured that it was playing fine. i'm not getting my movie played though so i object to this and i would appreciate if the board -- in my last 30 seconds i was down here this morning, what i was told by it and it and by the media services department both is that this machine is neither of their responsibility so i'm falling through the cracks here folks. i stayed up late making

i was assured by mr. ken that it would work when i came back. it's not working so i may have to come back or wing it. it's a two minute film that i uc

ken between 12:20 p.m. to 1:40 p.m., the time of his wife's murder? >> mr. s that he had left the house around 11:30ish and had driven up to belmont, an area about 40 minutes north of where he lived to examine a vacant lot. >> no one saw ken at this lot, and ken's cell phone records showed he wasn't in that area when the school called to tell him his wife was missing. >> so ken's story, his alibi of where he was located, he was actually in the palo alto area when he received the phone call. >> prosecutors believe ken's motive was secrecy. he didn't want the divorce or anyone to know he wasn't the biological father of his oldest son, and he didn't want anyone to know they were virtually bankrupt. >> it was almost like a clock exploded and all the little springs and levers and wheels of the clock that had been so tightly wound up in that clock just exploded all over the landscape. >> two weeks after christine's murder, ken was arrested. prosecutors said the evidence showed ken planned his wife's death. the evidence suggests he parked a short distance away from

mr. otto into custody was a pretty proud moment in my life. >> by his own admission, ken otto picked shamiafor work, but the evidence shows that instead of taking her to the kahoots gentleman's club, he drove 30 miles to his property on the outskirts of town. no one knows what happened after that. >> just sit down for a second. >> i have to go to work. >> sit down. >> but prosecutors believe that at some point otto shot and killed shamia inside the trailer with a .40 caliber handgun. then he rolled her body in a piece of carpet, creating the bloodstains later found by forensic analysis. then he burned shamia's body for days in the fire pit. when cadaver dogs picked up the scent in the fire pit, otto asked police to leave. and he had eight days to carry out the most extensive cover-up investigators had ever seen. but he couldn't destroy everything. investigators found shell casings, a spent bullet, shamia's house key. hundreds of bone fragments and even part of her foot, which all told the gruesome tale of a needless murder. >> i think she was very naive about everyone she knew. like she put

mr. ken. >> oh, i'm sorry. the markets are going to remain choppy here, no doubt, but still an upward bias. and twoef kind of look at that old adage that's still working for investors, a trend is your friend. and until that's broken we kind of have to stay with it. look, the biggest story of the year so far is the low volatility. at least coming into this week. we see how quickly that can change. but even with the added volatility look what's happening. we have a lot more m&a activity. you have this monetary policy around the world supporting local markets. and on top of that you have pretty much a trend that's intact. at this point we just kind of stay the course, realizing we can take some incremental gains here and there, but at this point the bulls' case is pretty strong. >> even though, by the way, in britain -- sorry, tyler, i was just going to say they're not going to be quite as supportive over there. mark carney just came out and said, sort of sounded the message listen up, they're going to have to do

mr. rich from oed. >> good afternoon, ken rich from oed. my office is representing the city., office of community investment and infrastructure. to negotiate to action with cssf. i want to thank the members of the budget committee for bearing with us as we explain. how this transaction needs to occur, i think we edved up with a deal with ucsf that is good for the city and good for mission bay and good for ucsf. the agreement with ucsf provides funds for housing that are greater and come to us sooner than what we would have gotten with oci would have gotten for use in mission bay if a regular taxing entity had been on the property. in addition, ocio received money to go to infrastructure in mission bay. that is expected on this property. the ability for ucsf by building this new large facility in mission bay to release several properties they currently own and rent around the city were put back onto the tax rolls for funds -- including a portion of which would go to the general fund, far in excess of ocii is not able to collect through the dissolution procedure you'll hear abo

ken maclennan's. >> it made sense based on the soot on the hand that mr.an had actually grabbed the gun before the shot was fired. because of that contact with the hand, some of his blood then did blow back into the barrel of the rifle. >> when confronted with this evidence, matt moeller admitted he was involved but insisted jason maclennan was the killer. >> he tried to talk me into going and killing him because he knew he'd be the prime suspect, but i couldn't do it. so i told him i wasn't going to have anything to do with it. and then he was ust like, okay, fine. and he took the gun from me and said just go wait in the car. >> matt said he heard the shots. jason came back to the car, returned the gun, and then he went home. >> how about the gun? did you do anything to the gun to try to alter it? >> i stuck an allen wrench in the barrel. >> you stuck an allen wrench in it? >> well, because he told me that, pretty much if i wanted to save my ass, i had to do something to the barrel. >> and matt knew something that hadn't been made public -- four different

ken feinberg is going to join us live first on cnbc, right after the announcement. of course, mr. feinberg has carved out an expertise in this arcane area of amassing funds to then be distributed to victims, whether it's bp or boston marathon victims. >> the political dance that goes with that. >> yes. >> no less a skill, right? it's not just about tables. >> not at all. the idea and the times today has a long article that still a lot more to come and the use of the word "criminal" in the southern district, the u.s. attorney, getting involved. does this just continue this overhang on gm despite what many people saw today as perhaps the day where daylight starts to break out? >> feinberg, when he got involved with bp changed things a bit. that's when the bottom was put in. you have to churn through all of this. the government was more involved than realized. breaking news. devon sells $2.3 billion in assets to lyn energy. devon trying to change its balance sheet. look how it's done to be able to make it so it's stronger, move into shale areas. two companies helping themselves. i do

mr. chairman. thank you both for joining us ken.i will start off by asking the this comesf from the inability for us to do our job. we said our facilities were flagged and we were guaranteed we would be told why that was. nothing has been said. everyday, i get calls asking what's wrong with these facilities. i will ask you. i actually had a discussion before i came down here tonight. we knew this issue would be raised. >> good foresight. i appreciate that you are thinking ahead. >> he and i agreed that it's important that we brief the committee and make arrangements to do that. and provide greetings to other congressional staffs. you have been coming down her a lot and i'm appreciative of the work you do. i think the time has come when you know you don't get the benefit of the doubt on anything right now. after today's osce, you mentioned it was an acceptable situation. if we had a veteran for eight years that we warehouse. that's a national tragedy. i'm trying to get at the heart of this. i think we are flirting around the edges he

take the compensation and they go offer and ken feinberg will determine what their lives are worth and they will take whatever he says as lot into that. >> once mr. feinberg has completed protocol we can assess that we won't know until they actual compensation program has been run but at that point we will make an estimate. >> it is quite possible and likely to say that those people that bob is talking about in the back seat of the car whose stepdaughter was in the back does not get counted because she denied having an air bag. and he'll have the ability do declare that. but then the addition behind me you could go by a chevrolet cobol now there is a 20081 for sale selling at $80,000 people will the cars say the value was destroyed as a result so we should be compensated as well so that is another part may be a death by a thousand cuts. >> but then day said again when it comes to the victims' it seems to me wonder if this is helpful to the case is that she said that today that we do expect to report more deaths than you are being heard. is that how you took these comments today from mary barra at? >> i am not optimistic about her representation

mr. campbell when you are eating curry in the pending 10 ken derrig you don't yell across the restaurant. do not yell across the floor of this house. prime minister. >> what we need to do is tackle the causes of poverty underachievement at school homelessness lack of fork drug addiction. that is what drives his government. that is what we are dealing with in their 250,000 fewer children in failing schools than when this government took office. >> mr. allen reed. >> mr. speaker it has taken longer to carry out assessments for applicants of disability benefits than people living elsewhere. this is because they are reluctant to send assessors a distance. i'm sure the prime minister will agree this is unacceptable but he must not discriminate against people living this way and must receive their assessments as people in the rest of the country. >> obviously there are challenges and particularly far-flung rural constituencies like his with violence within it. we have to make sure that those people get their assessments properly carried out. these assessments are important. the whole point of o

mr. feinberg and i have let him know specifically the conditions upon which i would recommend the fund to my clients. we are -- >> you know how kenates? right? in charge of the 9/11 fund and the bp disaster fund. he tends to base it not equal in all for all victims but on things such as their age, when they lofst their lives or were injured and earnings potential. what kind of job they had. very controversial after 9/11. are you ready for that type of thinking, in whatever awards will go out here? >> no, and i don't think he'll do that. the reason i walked away from discussions two months ago is because i was not going to recommend a cookie cutter approach. you know, these are individuals. they have individual losses. separate and apart from the lost wages, you have the loss of a son and the value of a life, that has to be compensated. that has to be considered. you know, ken's working hard on trying to figure out if there's a way, and i'm not convinced one way or the other, but my duty to my clients is at least to look at it, and to see and to weigh what they propose and then give my recommendations to my clients after mr. feinb

certainly going to look at ken feinberg now and say, like my client, trenton buzzard, who is the paralyzed little boy, seems like the underlying message is, if you don't like what mr. feinberg offers, this is going to be your alternative. you will fight news bankruptcy and, what we tell gm we're prepared to fight that. gm, the fraud is not that long shot. gerri: all right. thanks to both of you, you guys. you both did a great job. lauren and bob, thanks so much. >> good seeing you, gerri. gerri: good to see you both of you. later in the broadcast we'll have the very latest on auto sales from jeff flock in chicago. >>> we have more and more to come this hour including your voice. we want to you facebook me and tweet me @gerriwillisfbn. at the bottom of the hour i will read your tweets and emails. >>> who is exactly taking care of our elderly and what are they hiding? new warnings from federal investigators on a potential security hole. stay with us. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business. so we provide it services you can rely on. with centurylink as your trusted it partner, you'll experience reliable uptime for the network and service

>> again is being run by ken feinberg who is known as an expert in this area. cdi and the money with mr. feinberg. >> i think it's important to note that general motors wants to reach with this compensation program everyone who lost a loved one due to this issue or suffered serious physical injury injury and then slowly communicated to mr. feinberg. >> i'm not. >> i'm out of time but there are a whole lot of gm customers out there you are frustrated because for over a decade they have been loyal and now we are seeing 6,016,000,000 recalls. there is a problem and i hope you have it fixed. mr. chairman i hope we can continue this to make sure that it is fixed and i yield back my time. >> the gentleman yields back and they now recognize mr. gingrey for five minutes. >> ms. barra i want to ask about a situation that the cobalt. if one of my 21016-year-old granddaughters are driving in the cobalt and inadvertently the ignition turns to the accessory position, is they who just got their driver's license three months ago, i would think that their initial reaction would be to try to turn the ca

thing, well, how is ken feinberg defining what the right thing is since this is a defect as you said known about for more than a decade. >> laura, what is the thing you want to hear from mr. feinberg today? >> i want to hear he's going to actually acknowledge each and every single death that we know about. i personally have found about 165 so far just myself. we know that there is a lot more out there. >> and, poppy, do you think feinberg will include those deaths in this settlement announcement? and what happens if families choose not to take part? >> well, that's the real key question. first, in terms if families don't part, we know some do not want to take part. they want to sue gm and see this go through trial. it is unclear whether or not if they do opt into this compensation program, if, carol, they're going to give up their right to sue in court or not. it is a mixed bag on that. bp oil spill, some got compensation could sue and some couldn't sue. that's a big question. some of them do not want to take part what they have heard so far, they're not pleased with. in terms of whether or not this number is going to go significantly higher, that is the ultimate, ultima

>> we have not announced the total. ,t is being run by ken feinberg who is known as an expert in this area. >> i am familiar with mr. feinberg. >> general motors wants to reach, with this compensation program, everyone who lost a loved one due to this issue. tot is what we communicated mr. feinberg. >> there are a lot of gm owners out there who are frustrated because they have, over the decades, then loyal, but now we are seeing 16 million recalls. there is a problem, and i hope you have it fixed. mr. chairman, i hope you will continue this to make sure it is fixed. >> i want to ask you a question in thehe situation cobalt. if one of my two twin 16-year-old granddaughters were , andng in the cobalt inadvertently the ignition turns to the accessory position, if they just got their drivers , iense three months ago would think there initially action would be to start the car back again, although it is in drive, not in neutral. >> if they were driving the vehicle and had just a key on the ring, this condition should not happen. >> but if it did happen. resume that it did happen. >> you have got to put the car -- you ha

ken feinberg. a couple of times and i work hard to get elements into the plan, but so many requirements are prefaced with -- sole discretion of the neutral administrator. mrrg must now show that he is neutral, that his awards are fair, and that he intends to do the right thing for the victim and not behave as if he is the attorney for gm. my hope is that that is the case. >> your help, of course, there was a lot of criticism from the department of justice, who accused ken feinberg of trying to save bp money in that oil spill in the gulf of mexico. what do you think? the only other time he has represented a private company as a result of that companies conduct, he did not do so hot. this is his second time and this is his second chance. since the plan is voluntary if you don't like the award you can pursue litigation. and then he has a short leash, so to speak, regarding what he is going to do. i am aware of bp and the criticism leveled against them. some of it was very justified. i am on high alert to see what he does in order to assure my getnts as i help them through this plan that mr. feinberg really is independent. that he really is neutral and unders

ken wollack just said. then there are the folks in crimea which we all view is that occupy part of ukraine. most of them couldn't vote either. >> mr chairman i think the comment that mr. poroshenko said he wants to make his first trip as president and he may well find resilience there. it's important to keep in mind the majority population is ethnic ukrainian. they may use russian as their language but they are ukrainian. the polls show while many people in the eastern ukraine are in contra ball with the power at the end of february and they were guarded the active group is a legitimate 70% want to stay in ukraine. they did not want to join russia. large majorities criticized and condemned the armed sieges but the separatists. they did not see the russian army come. there's an audience you can appeal to. decentralization to power in some sense makes sense. making regional governors elected as a post to appointed by the president would be a positive step. pushing authority to the regions would be a positive step in terms of more efficient and accountable governments. also mr. poroshenko is said there would be some standards for the

mr. volukas' report. i promised we would hold people accountable and make substantial and rapid changes in our approach to recalls. finally, i promise we would engage ken fineberg to develop a just and timely program for compensating families who lost loved ones and those who suffered serious physical injury. we have done all of these things and more. and i welcome the opportunity to discuss them with you further. the volukas report is extremely thorough, brutally tough and deeply troubling. it paints a picture of an organization that failed to handle a complex safety issue in a responsible way. i was deeply saddened and disturbed as i read the report. for those of white house have dedicated our lives to this company it is enormously painful to have our shortcomings laid out so vividly. there is no way to minimize the seriousness of what mr. volukas and his investigators uncovered. on june 2nd, he presented the findings of his investigation to the board of directors of general motors. i will leave it to him to comment on his report. but for my part, i want you to know my reaction to the report and some of the actions i have taken since reviewing it. fi

ken feinberg as he's been putting to the this plan? and what are you expecting to hear today? >> yes, i've had a few conversations with mr. feinberg.expecting, obviously, is a plan to come out. we're hopeful it's not the final plan, that there will continue to be discussions in order to, as miss barra said, get gm to do get the right thing for all of the victims of these recalled vehicles. >> do you have any idea in terms of parameters for the dollar amount for those fatalities that are linked to these faulty ignition switches? are we talking 5 million? 10 million? what is it you're expecting that he's going to say. >> well, initially, the question is going to be the scope of the vehicles. my concern is the conversations i've had. gm is tying mr. feinberg's hands. and they're only going to allow him to consider less than half of the recalled vehicles as part of the compensation plan. so the scope we need to listen to, but the scope likely is going to be far too narrow. as far as the compensation is concerned i haven't seen the final numbers, but my main concern for the compensation would be, this is unlike what mr. feinberg has eve

mr. mcconnell: i rise to pay tribute to a great friend of mine and a friend to the commonwealth of ken, former senator jim bunning. jim's been an inspiration to kentuckians for decades in many different roles. as a public servant, a man of integrity and a devoted father of nine children, a grandfather of 35, and a great-grandfather of 12 with one more on the way. but few public servants or family men can also claim to be in the baseball hall of fame. jim bunning can, for his extraordinary major league pitching career with the detroit tigers and with the philadelphia phillys. with father's day approaching this weekend, i thought it appropriate to remember what jim bunning accomplished on father's day 1964. the date was june the 21st. and in front of his wife mary, his eldest daughter barbara and more than 32,000 cheering fans, jim bunning delivered the perfect father's day gift by pitching a perfect game. let me take a moment to explain for those who do not spend their youth playing baseball and collecting baseball cards, as some of us did, what pitching a perfect game means. and why it is such

mr. valukas's report with congress, our regulators, nhtsa and the courts. i promised we would hold people accountable and make substantial and rapid changes in our approach to recalls. finally, i promised we would engage ken feinberg to develop a just and timely program for compensating families who lost loved ones and those who suffered serious physical injury. we have done all of these things and more. and i welcome the opportunity to discuss them with you further. the valukas report, as you know, is extremely thorough, brutally tough, and deeply troubling. it paints a picture of an organization that failed to handle a complex safety issue in a responsible way. i was deeply saddened and disturbed as i read the report. for those of us who have dedicated our lives to this company, it is enormously painful to have our shortcomings laid out so vividly. there's no way to minimize the seriousness of what mr. valukas apd his investigators uncovered. on june 2nd mr. valukas presented the findings of his investigation to the board of directors of general motors. i will leave it to mr. valukas to comment on his report, but for my part, i want you to know my reaction to the report and some of the actions i have ta
