mr. marshall? >> i certainly cannot speak as an expert on that topic, but my understanding is that sales tax or use tax is owed by michigan residents on all their purchases, so it is cannot a new tax, it is simply leveling the playing field as to who is required to collect it and voluntarily disclose it in their tax return. >> that was my point, you had the in party and they can impose the taxes, just right now, most aids do not actually collected. mr. otto. >> i would agree with what he says. here is one interesting point, though. if you or a business annual sales tax permit in the state of texas, you go through on it, you are going to be found if you have not remitted use tact she should have. in texas, we have no way for a household to remit use tax. there is no state income tax. there is no form or anybody to remit the use tax. >> you are saying the taxes are owed any way, they might as well be collected. >> my perspective is that the only disparity in the competitive world of have today in thi

first trial of an ex-head of state in france since marshall, who led the collaborationist government faced his trial after the second world war. well, mr. chirac stood accused of creating jobs for officials of his own party when he was mayor of paris. he's also been given a two-year suspended, i should point out, suspended prison sentence. that judgment passed down just a few moments ago, but the judge did describe mr. chirac as a number of other people also facing trial. as the principal author of the crimes committed. we're going to have more on that obviously for you in the course of the bulletin with christian frazier, our paris correspondent, in just a moment or two, so do stay with us for that. formal ceremony is due to get underway very soon indeed to mark the end of military operations in iraq. the flag lowering will draw a line under a wall, which claims the lives of almost 4,500 american soldiers and cost the u.s. around a trillion dollars. earlier, fort bragg in north carolina, president obama welcomed home some of the last troops to return. he admitted that the new iraq was not perfect, but insisted that the country was now

marshall: this is a baby program? i know everyone is excited about it. >> right, so last year, there was the situation where mrs. chan was thrown from the platform at third, and they are outfitted in these very, very sharp jackets. otherwise, there is a variety of language skills. very, very critical to the effort to combat neighborhood after that situation, so additional funding has been appropriated. i believe it is from 10 in the morning until 8:00 that night. these are the hours that they are going to work there. i believe it was a thin market. -- was fifth and market. vice president marshall: we will see what happens. >> it was great for us. it is great to have them as partners. president mazzucco: anything further? please call item d. secretary falvey: item number d, commission announcements and scheduling of items. president mazzucco: do you have anything? secretary falvey: no. president mazzucco: we were at over 70 cases, and now we are in the teens. during the hearings, we take this role very seriously, but i really want to commend the commission. this was a very, very drastic situation, and it is a mor

one was the vice marshall lee hlee-ho who was walking on the opposite side of the car from kim jong-un and the other was mr. jiang song thaek who was walking directly behind kim jong-un. lee has the same position as kim jong-un, as vice chairman of the central military commission. and actually he's 69 years old, the same age as kim jong-il. so he would be acting as kim jong-un's personal guardian. the other person, mr. jang song thaek is kim jong-un's uncle-in-law and he has positions both in politburo of the party and central military commission. so these two people will be there playing an important role. and another, there was interesting messages in the funeral. the first one is in the first part of the funeral, the silent music was played and message was that people were mourning kim jong-il's death. but toward the end of the funeral, there was another message that, you know, upbeat music was played. and there was a military march. and so the message was that a bright future was waiting for the north korean people under the rule of kim jong-un. >> okay. we'll get back to you in just a minute. >>> firs

mr. gingrich opposed that cut off. joining us now from los angeles fox news contributor leslie marshall and fort worth texas janine turnerost. does michele bachmann have a point? i think michelle balk map is doing herself and the republic party by addition service by representing his belief system and accomplishments. the fact is he is a 98.6% pro-life rating with the national right to life committee under his leadership congress passed not once but twice the partial birth abortion ban that's president clinton vetoed twice. regarding planned parenthood she is insinuating that the house and the president and the senate were just sitting around waiting to defund planned parenthood when that really wasn't the case at all. this is only creating this vibe in the party in helping obama. >> bill: didn't take the lead in going after planned parenthood. also didn't take the lead in backing up the republic national committee chastising those who didn't want to outlaw partial birth abortion. did he so, so everybody understands, leslie. he did that because he said if i -- if i or we as a party banish candidates who won't ban partial

marshalled 45 votes. enough to block the nomination of richard cordray. a short time later, mr.ed his nominee. >> the majority of attorney generals, republican and democrat from across the country have said, this is somebody who can do the job with integrity, who has a tradition of being a bipartisan individual who looks out for the public interest and is ready to go. >> richard cordray was nominated in july of he is a form he ohio attorney general and a former ohio treasurer. he also served as a supreme court clerk under justice anthony kennedy. and joining us now from capitol hill, senate republican orrin hatch from utah. you wrote today, senator, in the national review that you have no problem with richard cordray. yet you voted against him. why? >> well, that's right. none of us have a problem with richard cordray. at least to my knowledge. the reason we voted against him was that we suggested to the president is that this so-called consumer agency has abject power over credit in this country. the abject power without any responsibility. any transparency. any accountability.

mr. j at boris yeltsin who was instrumental in this thing falling apart, when he said was, he called the marshall in another room, supposed to accompany him and bring the two kernels -- he said i am not going over there. you go and collect -- if there are legal problems the government is with us. you go over and collect and if he doesn't come to -- get it sorted out in some other way, let's make the call of the exchange and there was a residence where gorbachev humiliated the point earlier in the perestroika era and gorbachev for once had the upper hand over yeltsin because he had a briefcase. boris yeltsin and can come over a year. the whole thing -- they agreed they witnessed the documents. interestingly this moment not only symbolized but in effect meant the end of the soviet union as a superpower was to be recorded on television but only a set of generals walking away -- they handed over to boris yeltsin and the only witnesses were the cnn crew who filmed the resignation speech y. brad peck of their equipment. >> host: no pictures of it. >> guest: don't go any further and these generals excha

mr. holder should resign or the president should ask for his resignation. >> new details sparking the reaction. also country singer mindy mc- mccready coming face to face u.s. marshalls because she didn't return her son. >> i was concerned about mindy and then zander. >> and where and how investigators tracked them down. we begin with new reaction to the suspension of herman cain's presidential campaign. cain making the speech in atlanta and his wife gloriia at his side. five-days after a woman claimed she had an affair with cain for 13 years. that followed a string of allegations of herman cain following harass am. there is speculation over whether he would stay in or drop out. >> as of today with a lot of prayer and soul searching. i am suspending my presidential campaign. cain told the crowd gathered outside of the georgia campaign office. the accusations have hurt his family and denies wrong doing. some praise coming from a candidate whose popularity has surged. former house speaker newt gingrich. campaigning with him was positive, and optmistic and positive and we'll miss him on the campaign trail and i can appreciate why in the current she decided to go back to

mr. franken: this is an interesting area. there is a well-established link between the scientists who have worked for think tanks like the george c. marshall institute, the heartland institute and other foundations which were funded at first by tobacco money and since then by the fossil fuels industry. these scientists have been paid to spread misinformation in order to cast doubt, cast doubt. that's all they got to do. on a whole host of scientific issues, first about tobacco, then about acid rain, about the hole in the ozone layer and now about climate change. take tobacco for example. scientists were paid to testify in court that there were -- was no proof that smoking caused cancer or was addictive even after the industry scientists knew darn well that cigarettes were addictive and did cause cancer and heart disease. in fact, the tobacco industry was found guilty in 2004 of plotting to conceal the health risks and the addictiveness of cigarettes from the public. the judge found that the tobacco industry had, quote, "devised and executed a scheme to defraud consumers and potential consumers about the hazards of cigarettes, hazards that

of investigation, the united states marshal service, attorneys and law enforcement officers who track down, arrest terrorists and drug cartels and gang members. and, mr. president, the list goes on and on and on. those who are on the front line of public service, of dedicated, hardworking federal employees, many of whom are struggling like every one of us to deal with their family budgets. federal employees are already contributing $60 billion to the deficit reduction through a two-year pay freeze. they've already contributed to deficit reduction. they were first in line to try to help balance our budget. like their private-sector counterports, federal employees haven't been immune to the country's economic woes. they're confronting similar hardships. disabled and unemployed spouses, declining home values, rising rg gasoline and living expenses. many federal employees have single-parent families. like other americans, federal employees struggle to pay their mortgages and find ways to send their children to college. h.r. 3630, the house republican payroll tax cut bill, would require two million federal employees to shoulder nearly one half of the cost
