mr. napolitano had to say. the fact of the matter is 338 democrats and republicans in the house of representatives also disagree with what he has to say. they believe that by putting in place these civil liberties protections that would ensure that the federal government is no longer using these authorities to collect and hold bulk data does contribute to our privacy while at the same time it would allow our national security professionals with a legitimate court order to search those records to try to conduct terror investigations. >> you said a legitimate court order. and of course on that you mean the fisa courts. the fisa courts were created by the bush administration and are again, according to judge that napolitano napolitano who's no left-wing nut, not legitimate courts. and they're not legitimate courts by any standards he says for the following reasons. the fisa court has nobody standing up against it from the nsa. it's the nsa versus nobody. the fisa courts are not required to keep records of mission

mrs. napolitano: thank you. my colleague who is my co-chair on the youth caucus, to help our throw-away kids, 16 to 18-year-olds who have fallen through the cracks. we work in a bipartisan manner to ensure some of these youngsters have a second chance. we thank the appropriations committee for the $5 million increase over president obama's 2016 request of $145 million. the 2016 defense appropriations will fund the national youth challenge program at 150 with a current funding of 135. this amendment increases, as my colleague was saying, by $5 million, to 155. reduces the operations by the same amount. helps programs in four states. each youth program is $4 million, the california program will cost more. it is critical for hundreds of youth who are dropouts to have the a second chance. the challenge grant was over 120 ,000 nationally. it's no cost to the child or his or her family. it's a 22 1/2 week boot camp like program that prepares them to re-enter society and be successful build employment potential and ret

our own judge ruled last night judge napolitano presided over one late night show. >> just like there is no way, mrsaw the flying of that flag on private property. >> now you just referred to me as mrs. clinton. >> my sixth time on your show i am exsilver exas i recall rated. >> were you thinking about whether a hot dog is a sandwich? [ laughter ] >> i'm a vegetarian. >> judge andrew napolitano, everybody. >> i mean six times on that show judge. >> strange ideological bed fellow. >> i think it's the laugh. >> thank you bret. >> that's it for us tonight that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. greta go "on the record" right now. >>> this is a fox news alert. first, it was joyce mitchell a prison worker. now it is a corrections officer inside the maximum security prison accused of helping the two dangerous killers get out. fugitive richard matt painting and trading his work and in return prosecutors say the corrections officer handing over everything from meat, to tools even access to restricted catwalks and electrical boxes. that's certainly not all. today the corrections officer

asked fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano to review some of the e-mail traffic between turi and members of congress. >> well unless mr. turi concocted these e-mails, which would be nearly impossible he has presented sound documentary ir rerefutable evidence to show that this was a covert operation, a grand conspiracy if you will. one thinks and one wonders when one sees the constellation of political superstars who signed off on this and you get back to the e-mails that members of congress absolutely knew about it. >> turi's initial application to sell weapons directly to the libyan opposition was denied. >> it made perfect and very clear sense because the tnc was not a recognized entity in the world. which means they could never have signed an end user statement. so the only person or organization or entity i could deal with was the u.s. government. >> this sworn affidavit released in may 2015 and obtained by fox news indicates a covert weapons operation was authorized. turi's partner and adviser was this man, david manners, during his 18-year career at the cia he served as the top spy in jordan and in the former cz

mr. speaker. first i'd like to thank chairman gibbs and chairman shuster and ranking member defazio, napolitano, for helping to bring 944 the national estuary program re-authorization, to the floor. i'd also like to thank colleagues, mr. posey and murphy of florida, and especially mr. larsen has been great to work with on a number of issues. this version of the national estuary program re-authorization is fiscally responsible by reducing the authorization levels by $8 million while ultimately increasing the amount of money each estuary program will receive. it's a very commonsense approach that helps get the job done. this re-authorization will detail just how the e.p.a. is to spend the authorized and appropriated money. unlike many of the programs under the clean water act, the national estuary program is a nonregulatory program. that was mentioned before but i think it bears repeating. it's a nonregulatory program. instead it is designed to support collaborative voluntary efforts of federal, state and local stakeholders to restore degraded estuaries. i think this is exactly the approach that will
