experts the implication is that this was something done intentionally in order to frame russia mr roberts we've also been hearing contradicting statements from ukrainian officials on whether they militants have a long range book missile system are not can they really not be sure of that. i think that they are sure and i think we know for a fact that there was a ukrainian missile system present and the question is why would it be present because the separatists have no air force. so why have a missile system in a combat zone that has no military purpose and why have it positioned where it where it could be overrun and captured by militants or very expensive systems so the real question is what was that missile system doing in that location that's a very important question we know for a fact that the so call separatists do not have those extensive systems and do not have the training to operate them and we also know that the separatists and the russian government have no incentive to shoot down an airliner so they have nothing to gain from it so it's an obvious situation and not of course t

mr. kingston. ben roberts, you get the next question for david perdue. >> mr.due, one of your top priorities is trying to get the ballooning national debt under control which you say can be done by balancing the budget and also growing our economy which, of course, is easy to say but very difficult to do. is it realistic to think that can be done without a tax increase, and are there parts of the budget that would be off limits in your view to cuts? perdue: well, thank you. i think this is the seminal question of this race, frankly. the debt that we have right now is the greatest threat to our national security. we've got to get serious about solving that debt crisis. it took us a long time to get here, it's going to take a little while to solve it. first of all, there are two precepts we have to do to solve this crisis. one, we've got to cut this insane spending. first of all, we have $480 billion of redundant agencies right now, and i don't see any congressman or senate really going after that. senator coburn has a book that he puts out every year, it's the c

mr. weiss? >> yes. >> who is he? >> i believe that's robert pattenson. >> what does he have in his mouth. >> electronic cigarette. >> he looks like mr. cool. >> he's an adult smoker. >> do you deny in your testimony today that this ad that is the use of this image is designed to appeal to children and teenagers? >> i do. >> why? >> because he's a 28-year-old adult smoking. >> your testimony is that adult role models have no appeal to children or in other words, if they are older than 18, they have no impact on people under 18? is that what you are saying? >> what i'm saying is that our target is to reach adult smokers or being able for them to reach adult smokers that they admire are using appear alter in a -- an alternative to toxic cigarette. >> these ads and images are designed to appeal to children. again, they are not only reminiscent, they are really duplicative in my view of the tactics adopted by big tobacco. you have taken their playbook and modified it to a noncombustible nicotine delivery mechanism. this hearing is not so much about

mr. chairman, that chief justice roberts did suggest that the agency conduct a rule-making. >> but you all's proposed rule is so unclear that everybody, farmers, businessmen, landowners, politicians, democrats, republicans alike are requesting you all to take away this proposed rule, to abandon it, and do something else. and i request that you do the same thing. it's beyond me why you all continue to do so. you're cutting with your coal rules. you wanted to shut down the coal industry. the president said he would bankrupt any company that puts south nicole plant. you all through the epa is doing just that. in fact, you're shutting down 15 power plants in georgia, and it's not fair to poor people and senior citizens on limited income. because as the president said, his policies are going to necessarily skyrocket the cost of energy. and that's exactly what you guys are doing at the epa, and that's unfair. unfair to poor people. it's unfair to senior citizens who have limited income, and what you're doing now is expanding the jurisdiction and scope of the corps of engineers as well as the epa.

mr. woods. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is robert wood, and i'm concerned about -- we talk about this magic three foot field that we've put on top of the toxic soil that is already there. that three foot, they're probably going to put a barrier at the testing level where the toxic is and where they're going to put on the bar of soil. everybody knows that when water, when it rains, that some times water penetrates far beyond three feet. and if that water gets to that barrier, eventually that barrier isn't going to be able to carry that bar of soil and it's going to wash away eventually. it may take eight, nine, ten years, but it will wash away and you will have a disappearing of that three-foot field that you put on top of there, but my other question is when you start putting in your utilities out there, you're talking about digging down inside of that toxic waste to put your utilities in the soil. once you start digging it up and putting that soil to the side and you start trenching and putting in your pipes, that will be -- that wi

. >> 43-year-old robert andrew was pronounced dead at the scene. >> mr. andrew was shot two times, once to the right side of the body, once to the left side of the body. and they actually occurred from two different locations, so that also tells us that two shooters, it's a possibility. >> brenda andrew suffered a gunshot wound and was rushed to the hospital. >> her wound is in a fatty portion of her left upper arm. >> the bullet that hit brenda went through her arm and lodged in the wall of the garage. it was from a .22 caliber pistol. police found a spent .16-gauge shotgun shell on the roof of brenda's van, an indication there were two different weapons used in the attack. the empty cans on the garage floor indicated rob saw the gunmen and grabbed the bag of empty cans as a shield. >> as the second gunshot wound is about to be inflicted on him, he is looking up and looking at the face of his killer. >> the motive apparently wasn't robbery. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to st

mr. weiss, who is he? >> robert >> what does he have in his mouth sm >> your product? >> correct. >> he looks like mr. kool. >> adult smoker. >> do you deny that this ad that the use of this image is designed to appeal to children and teenagers. ? >> i do. he is a 28-year-old adult smoker. >> adult role models have no appeal. if they are older than 18, they have no impact to people under 18? >> i'm saying, our target is to reach adult smokers. nd to see others is to see others is a good thing. >> these ads and these images are designed to appeal to children. and again, they are not only alm nissent, they really are duplicative of the tactics taken by big tobacco. you have tan their playbook and odified it to a noncombustible nonnicotine mechanism. and this hearing is not so much about the contents of e-cigarettes or their potential health effects, which i find difficult to accept, it's about the marketing and promotion tactic. images elebrities and ike mr. kool and others we can reach on the second round of questioning. but the evidence is undeniable that you are seekin
