mr. lewis. insert the following section, none of the funds provided by this act may be obligated for closing the regional field offices of the antitrust division of the department of justice. the chair: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for five minutes. mr. lewis: i rise today to offer an amendment that would close the offices. these offices are located in atlanta, dallas, cleveland and philadelphia. the justice department announced plans to close these offices with the saving of $8 million. these closures will not save a dime. they will end up costing the government money in fines and restitution. closing the atlanta office does not even reduce federal overhead. the atlanta field office is located in a federal court house building which will continue to operate. not only will the antitrust division and lose those talented lawyers who choose not to relocate to one of the remaining offices but move them to a high location in the country. the region is home to the corporate headquarters o

. >> mr. lewis, i hear every word you say and i'm worried about this, i'm going to talk about it in the end of the show. i'm in pennsylvania that just signed a law that says you need a government issued photoid card. if you don't have one on election day this year and you cast a vote, all you get a. a provisional vote, it is not a real vote unless you show up with a government issued photo id card. what are people going to be able to do about these laws already put in the books. >> i'm worried also, chris. that's why a group of my colleagues have introduced a piece of legislation that will probably not get passed in this congress, but we want people to use it to organize, mobilize, and when we take back the majority, we will pass a voter act that will improve the voting rights act of 1965. people cannot use and excuse not having a voter id. in some communities all across america. churches are providing people with a voter id, but a voter id is like a poll tax. it's the form of a literacy test. sayin

. >> mr. lewis? >> less than a week ago, with the prime minister agreement we made, we should remember that we should remember just a week ago he himself said quite rightly we should let them do its job. >> that's exactly--that's exactly what he said. i think it's right that the leveson inquiry takes it's course. that's what he said. but the probable is he was bounced from the labour party. he thought he would get a food headline 23 minutes after it came out. and because he got no judgment. >> can i push the prime minister on something that concerns me. this is on the role of the special adviser. everyone knows about the role of the special advisers. they work closely with their ministers. i do not believe for one moment, mr. speaker, that the prime minister does not know that that special adviser must have done anything before going on. and telling the prime minister hour by hour, day by day. >> with all of that information is going to be provided to the leveson inquiry, my prep has been very clear

. >> mr. lewis. i hear every word you say and i'm worried, worried, worried about this. signed by the republican governor, passed by republican legislature, that says the government issued photo id card. if you don't have one on election day this year, and you cast a vote, all you get is a provisional vote that doesn't become a real vote unless you are within six days show up with a government issued id card, photo id card. what are people who want to have everybody vote going to be able to do about these laws already put in the books? >> well, i'm very worried also, chris. that's why a gripe of my colleagues more than 130 members of the democratic house, have introduced a piece of legislation. it probably will not get passed in this congress but we want people to use it, organize, mobilize and take back the majori majority. in some communities all across america, churches are providing people about w a voter id but a voter id is almost like a poll tax. it is the form after literacy test. saying to people, like in a state of texas, even a student id cannot qualify. but a

. >> mr. lewis and i are going to build ships together, great big ships. >> so which is the truth? ed conner is former manager director of bain capital and author of "unintended consequences" and john avlon joins me as well. i really love the richard gere thing. >> always a win. >> ed, let me start with you. you spent a long time at bain. you are an unapologetic defender of free market capitalism. obviously your book takes aim at that, but can you just answer the fundamental question here. mitt romney is trying to say he created jobs, but let's be clear here, his number one goal had nothing to do with creating jobs, right? >> i think that's a cartoonish portrayal of business. people want to pretend the only thing business is doing is working for investors but what's left out of that, the half truth is businesses are working for customers. customers decide what businesses are going to be successful, whether businesses grow or don't grow. in the end if you satisfy the customer, you will end up satisfying the investor. but you can't jump straight to the investor without first working

your new computer systems and i want to know where we are on that it started in 2000 for me and mr. lewis of the case finally spend a lot of money the was abandoned in january of 2005 and in 2006 we spent a lot of money over $425 million that was reese go into 2008 with an additional 26 million but it wasn't finished by the target date in 2009. it was extended again in july of 2010 the second phase had more problems cotton in september of 2010 the agency announced the plan to have to have the annual methodology with a new target completion date of its of timber which was not with a test that showed problems in the hardware capacity and the baiji at i gave a report in december that the fbi was still determining the cost of the additional hardware and had deleted until may wellcome is may. where are we on this much awaited and extremely expensive system. >> unfortunately i am very aware of that history. i can tell you that it has been one of the most difficult challenges as it has come to a couple of things that points along the way that were important. first, we received -- we've received

osborne and his wife, mr. lewis and his wife. so it was the six of us. it was in a restaurant, more of a social occasion. but like i said in my witness statement, i probably brought it up but i can't remember, but they would have been part of the dinner i would have discussed our frustration perhaps with him at the time of what was going on. so i don't know whether i brought it up for church, but we did discuss at the dinner. not any great links because -- >> the part of the detail, was in an ofcom letter, you would agree with me? >> that would have been, i mean, that would have been my stance on it because i probably wasn't all over the complexities of an ofcom issues letter. as chief executive news international. i mean, literally my main focus, my main involvement in the bskyb did -- the bskyb bid if you like, nothing to do with the transaction but generally in response to the huge amount of opposition and lobbying that was going on by the anti-sky of li life. >> was the dinner must have a compass, this was a discussion about the issues letter because

. >> i can assist to the extent as i did mr. lewis did when he asked about the source for the expenses. i can assist you to the point that it was a legitimate source. in any case, the way we conduct ourselves after receiving the information towards the sensitivity of that information and how we handle that was no. 10 and with the browns was also exemplary. >> did you have the agreement of the browns publishing the story about your son? >> out to the lead. >> said they were entirely relaxed about it -- >> absolutely. >> so they were an entirely the relaxed about it. is that your position? >> to be fair to the browns, you have to consider how traumatic for any parent this was. >> what was? >> the diagnosis. >> and what about concluding it on the front page of "the sun." is that helping it or not? can you answer my question? in putting this on the front page of of"the sun" is not helping this. run t>> if they asked me not to it, i would not have. there are many examples where people have asked me not to run a story and i had not and i wo

my memory from t dinner was that it was with my husband and i, mrosborne and his wife, mr. lewis and his wife. so it was the six of us. it was in a restaurant, more of a social occasion. but like i said in my witness statement, i probably brout it up but i can't remember, but they would have been part of the dinner i would have discussed our frustration perhaps with him at the time of what was going on. so i don't know whether i brought it up for church, but we did discuss at the dinner. not any great links because -- >> the part of the detail, was in an ofcom letter, you would agree with me? >> that would have been, i mean, that would have been my stance on it because i probably wasn't all over the complexities of an ofcom issues letter. as chief executive news international. i mean, literally my main focus, my main involvement in the bskyb did -- the bskyb bid if you like, nothg to do with the transaction but generally in response to the huge amount of opposition and lobbying that was going on by the anti-sky of li life. >> was the dinner must have a compass, this was a discuss

lewis. boston globe reported if mr. colson can repent of his sins, there has to be hope for everybody. colson admitted he was guilty. he would do anything for the cause of his president and party. >> he served seven months at maxwell in alabama. he promised fellow inmates he would never forget them behind bars and talked about the experience on the "700 club" over the years. >> i thank god, pat, i went through it. because i carry with me a heavy burden for the men and women in prison. >> that burden led colson to establish prison fellowship, an international ministry working in 100 countries, committed to prisoner rehabilitation. >> with the prison population exploding and crime rate soaring, we are not dealing with the root cause of crime. we are treating them like animals and expect them to be rehabilitated. one way, it is when a man turned his life over to jesus christ. >> he wrote more than 30 books, selling 5 million copies and sought after public speaker. in his books he stressed the importance of a christian world view. >> it won't do for us to entertain ourselves, feel good abo

exaggerated their military careers and in particular of the democrat lewis cast and so in it lincoln said, for example, by the way, mrspeaker, did you know that i'm a military hero? yes, sir. in the days of the blackhawk war, i fought, bled, and came away. speaking of the general's career reminds me of my own. i guess i surpassed him in charges upon the wild onions. if he saw any live fighting indians, it was more than i did. but i had a good many bloody struggles with the mosquitos. so lincoln said, you know, that it was a war in which he never saw a hostile indian or fired a shot, but he was already good at manipulating the facts of his past to the immediate political situation. and it's a mistake to think that his experience was laughable. it was not. and it was not insignificant for his development as commander in chief. so here's an idea that was already in place before he became commander in chief. if you look at the testimony of lincoln's fellow militiamen in the blackhawk war, not of what lincoln recalled but of what his fellow soldiers recalled, you get a very different view. and you can see that lincoln got

lewis here. there you go? how are you, man? thanks for being here. thanks for being here. mr. mayor, where are you? mr. mayor, thank you, buddy. you still play, mr. mayor. and david foster, thank you very much. and rich, thank you. but you know, the stuffalino family i want to particularly thank. joe, it's great to be here. thank you for the opportunity. i have to admit to you, coming into the shop, walking in the doors, coming out the side lot here, it -- it brings me back home. it brings me back to my youth. i'm the son of an automobile man. my dad was a general manager, no jobs left in scranton, he moved down to wilmington, delaware. he eventually got a job and he ended up being an automobile manager of two of the largest agencyth in the state for the better part of 35 years. and as dave said, he was a proud man. my dad used to say, joey, and i give my word i'm not making this up, joey, a paycheck's -- a job's about a lot more than a paycheck, it's about your dignity. it's about your self-respect. it's about your sense of who you are. it's about your place in the community. it's a lot more than just

mr. reid: also i ask my friend, jessica lewis, seated by me, my foreign policy advisor, it's true she worked for the senator from new jersey? is that true, also worked in that same area? mr. menendez: she did until the majority leader took her from me. mr. reid: and it's true that we have worked over this period of time, our staffs working with republicans have worked so hard to try to get something done. and i would say to my friend is it true each time we were there, were not there the next few minutes, next day, it's taken forever, taken two months? is that right? mr. menendez: we have thought various times it would be already on the floor and passed, and then there has always been an additional desire or objection. i just think that what we have before us, especially in timing, doesn't mean that we can't continue to perfect as we move to the future, as we are doing in this legislation. but this legislation now passed unanimously out of the committee, supported by the major advocates of those who share our vision that we cannot have a nuclear-powered iran and an iran with nuclear weapons,

mr. pike, a partner at farrers... >> bergman: james murdoch led the news that night. for mark lewiswouldn't give up under intimidation, like the mp tom watson, persistence had kept the story alive. you've said that but for pure chance, pure serendipity, it's very possible none of this would have come out. >> correct. the journey, which is something which had started as a small file in my office in manchester, had led to the resignation of someone in ten downing street. but actually that was only about twenty percent of the journey. i describe my life as that two or so years ago, i walked into a john grisham novel. >> bergman: the phone-hacking scandal will roll on for years, uncovering connections to more people yet to be named. >> it's almost unstoppable, this process. so you have this very powerful judicial inquiry looking at the relationship between newspapers and the police, or looking at the relationship between the murdoch organization and politicians, which is going to be extremely interesting because of the possibility that the murdock people have been telling government how

mr. reid: also i ask my friend, jessica lewis, seated by me, my foreign policy advisor, it's true she worked for the senator from new jersey? is that true, also worked in that same area? mr. menendez: she did until the majority leader took her from me. mr. reid: and it's true that we have worked over this period of time, our staffs working with republicans have worked so hard to try to get something done. and i would say to my friend is it true each time we were there, were not there the next few minutes, next day, it's taken forever, taken two months? is that right? mr. menendez: we have thought various times it would be already on the floor and passed, and then there has always been an additional desire or objection. i just think that what we have before us, especially in timing, doesn't mean that we can't continue to perfect as we move to the future, as we are doing in this legislation. but this legislation now passed unanimously out of the committee, supported by the major advocates of those who share our vision that weannot have a nuclear-powered iran and an iran with nuclear weapons, b

glass lewis is supporting sek could iia's directive, even though sequoia is not expected to succeed in its effort. mr, most notably an op-ed by former ranking executives. blankfein has offered an olive branch to shareholders. instead the company appointed james schiro as the lead independent director earlier this year. the company is diving into social media. today it will be tweeting from the annual meeting. blankfein's tenure has been marked as the outperformance of its pierce. the vote on compensation is often a proxy for voter dissatisfaction. we'll have headlines later in the day. back to you guys. >> thank you. we have a quick moment to talk to sallie krawcheck, someone who probably dealt with individual investors as much as anyone, or at least you heard from your brokers about it. >> sure. >> i used to do that for a living and i remember i started like 1981 or '82. that came after 12 years of people being totally uninterested in the stock market and it set up a move from 800 to 10,000 in the averages. i feel like given what we had with the financial crisis, the flash crash and 9/11 and no real
