mr. robert and i know that they would appreciate so much in the bay area musician and singers in this bay area that appreciate real good music would appreciate it, thank you. >> thank you. >> i just want to stop here for a second and just to say that i am incredibly inpressed of the voices of veronica clauss and sharlene moore are here the people that i worked with, sharlene and donna and veronica who are great vocalists and i am humbled by your presence and i just wanted to say that. >> good evening, dear commission, i am don berger and many of you know me. i am one of the few elders of the gay community in san francisco and i thought that a voice from the audience should be made and here i am. i have been enjoying the fellas since they had the plush room at the hotel york and ever since we lost the old macanbo as you may remember on polk street, this has been the only venue where we could see the famous singers many of whom i enjoy and i don't care for the rock and roll and the jazz. but i like the old standards and i am an old fogy as they said, where else can we see these people unles

mr. roberts: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. roberts: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that i may be recognized for 15 minutes as if we were in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. roberts: thank you, mr. president. my colleagues, i rise today to introduce a bill that has a long title, improve nutrition program, integrity, and deficit reduction act of 2013. big title, but it's a good bill. last june, i stood here in this body along with chairperson stabenow of the agriculture committee to encourage my colleagues to pass bipartisan reform legislation known as the farm bill. the legislation we put together in the senate ag committee would have strengthened and preserved the safety net for our farmers and ranchers while also being responsible to taxpayers by providing billions of dollars for deficit reduction. at the time, we were told by the congressional budget office, the c.b.o

mr. roberts: i thank the -- the presiding officer: the senator from kansas. mr. roberts: i thank you, mr. president. and i thank my distinguished colleague, ranking member of the budget committee, the fully declared champion of fiscal responsibility, defender of hard-pressed taxpayers all across the country. you're doing a splendid job. here's a senator that actually asked to be on the budget committee to try to meet these challenges and i credit him for his leadership and his example. and i rise today to join my colleagues to speak on my democrat colleagues' proposed budget resolution upon which they have just been waxing poetic before the senate. and i have mixed feelings about this budget. i have mixed feelings even being here on the floor in that i am barefit of charts. what on earth am i going to do making comments about this budget without the appropriate charts? everybody has charts. look at all these standards around here. my colleagues across the aisle who have now left the chamber since i've begun speaking have displayed charts. i wonder if the parliamen

mr. robert frank on money, power and spending. boorstin on media and the entertainment industry. that was a great graphics sequence, don't you think? >>> t-mobile is also announcing today it will finally carry the iphone. jon, this seems quite an important piece of news. will we break apart the kr9 structure? >> i wouldn't hold my breath. in context, t-moibl is running a distant third to at&t and verizon. they needed to do something. they're losing subscribers, so they get the iphone. they're still in a way subsidizing it. we'll let you pay for the rest over two years. you still have to pay for the phone. you have no contract for the service fee. people could get the phone for them and take it over to straight talk wireless. sure, they don't have lte, but walmart's plan is cheaper. >> they may not catch up, but the fact that you aren't locked into a two-years contract and none of the other major players are offering that. it seems like a pretty good deal. won't that help them? >> it might, but it might hurt them. part of the reaso

mr. roberts. her family waited again. this time, to hear what roberts would say.ld out a small amount of hope that she would be alive and you never give up hope. >> and then, within three hours, there in that police station, joe roberts finally answered the question that had been hanging over everybody, half hope, half dread, what happened to brittany tavar. the answer was perhaps the most dreadful story this young crime reporter had yet written, taken right from the confession roberts gave police. >> she woke up early in the morning of her court case, woke him up very angry that something wasn't done correctly or that he didn't do it at all and was bugging him early in the morning, trying to get him out of bed, yelling at him. >> now, why would she do that? didn't take but a minute for her friends to figure it out. >> this whole big argument with joe was about him not being able to get this dvd or cd up to perfection, about what they were going to take to court. >> the court case against ann lydon, that is. so her friends speculated about what happened that last

so here to explain the bigger implications of this case and what it means for you and i mr garcia's lawyer robert corner of ear who is a partner with davis right treatment l.l.p. and he joins me now thanks for having me so can you begin by breaking this case down for us what's the what's the controversy with it well the controversy is that you have a journalist filming police activity on a public street and gets arrested for it and as you say we do trust our police officers to protect us from from danger and in the vast majority of cases they do but in certain instances they either don't know or or are confused about the state of the law and this unfortunately is one of them where they get upset that they're being filmed either by a journalist or by a private citizen and then take action to stop that form either by simply stopping the incident from happening happening busting that person which is what happened in this case and i understand that he was thirty he was thirty feet away from the police officers and then when they shined a spotlight on him he moved back to a. so it's not a question of

mr. poe: madam speaker, linda roberts from kingwood, texas, is one of my constituents. she received the american community survey and filled out only the information required by the census bureau and mailed it back to the census bureau. let me make this year. the census every year counts the american public, the population, with the census forms. but the census bureau also sends out a longer, larger, more intensive document called the american community survey to many americans throughout the 10 years of the census. any way, linda received this long form. the american community survey. and she did not fill out the survey. so she later began receiving weekly calls from the census bureau telling her complete the survey. when she refused to complete the survey, the calls increased every day. multiple times day. this is a single mother working, trying to support her family, and she's being harassed by the federal government. timely, a census bureau employee showed up at her house ringing the door bell. peeking through the windows to see if she was inside. trying to get her

mr. robert roach to provide robust consumer protection? >> absolutely not.it's not the intent of my message. the state of new york is two or three standard deviations removed from the rest of the country with regard to how long it takes an investor to secure their security interests in a mortgage after the borrower defaults and imposes a great deal of cost on fannie and freddie. >> we will face higher fees? >> we propose that for public comment. >> for the financial crisis they were not to blame. mr. demarco, you continue to reject principal reductions that could help underwater homeowners despite analysis fishes billions of dollars a month am saving. as you know, the rationale for not participating has been the fear of barbers to resist benefits. so you cannot draft rules that would reduce the risk abroad while also facilitating a faster housing market recovery and taxpayer savings. >> with regard to that issue, congresswoman, the fhfa spent six hartmann's carefully studying and analyzing the principal reduction alternative underhand, which is that the depa

mr. roberts talked about where he sees the media and technology going. his comments are just under an hour. [inaudible conversations] >> can i have everyone's attention please. everybody, please. thank you very much. we are very pleased to have as our special guest brian roberts who is the chairman and ceo of comcast. comcast is a company which is now has a market capitalization of $107,000,000,000.63 billion of revenue and $20 billion in earnings. it's a very incredible company and a story i'm going to talk about in a moment. the company was actually started in 1963 when brian's father bought a company in tupelo mississippi and some of you may have heard of tupelo. that is where elvis presley was born but but it's better known now as a place where comcast was born. comcast was born because brian's father who is now 93 years old, and brian's mother is 91 and they just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. [applause] brian's father bought in tupelo mississippi a cable system with about 1300 subscribers for $500,000 in 1963. in 1972 comcast went publi

robert clark. i'm a witness to the fact that mr. lazar did not stay for the meeting that he claims he was at. my brother was talking and he ran out of the meeting, took his representative with him and they never returned to the meeting. that's why the meeting was postponed for another month to give him an opportunity to be there. that it's an outside right lie. i don't know about his other question, but all the ones that my brother and i have filed against him, he's been found in violation. if he just responded to the questions we were asking. the representative, he kept sending to the meetings had absolutely no not knowledge on the issues and they told him not to come in anymore and they wanted mr. lazar himself to come to those meetings and for him to stand up here today and lie to you, if anything else i request that this commission listen to those two meetings continue this for another hearing. listen to those two hearings so you can determine for yourself that who is telling the truth here in front of this body. mr. lazar was asked when we tried to get this before spaces through the arts

mr. protagonist, was in the class of 1961. the class included robert deniro for a time. his parents were artists that lived in the village, and kathy that later became involved in the 1981 brinks robbery in which a guard and two policemen were killed and served many years in prison for that. angela grew up in birmingham alabama at the height of jim crow, and to escape from the wretched segregated school system, she entered on her junior year in a scholarship in the service committee and i will just read a short passage about her. when she entered the school although angela braced herself for outright hostility, she hadn't foreseen her posts tendency to be solicitous of the few black acquaintances she wrote that in the biography. she didn't question the desire to eliminate racism and she knew that bringing her to the school was an earnest action towards the end that from day to day she questioned the motives behind the overtures extend it to her or invitations to visit her classmates home prompted by the genuine friendship or feelings of obligation, guilt or attempt to di

mr. obama visited as a candidate in 2008. the robertsred from the hamas -- the rockets were fired from the hamas-controlled gaza strip, hours before mr. obama headed to the west bank to visit with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. yet on a trip that started with white house officials trying hard to lower expectations, mr. obama appeared to raise them. by suggesting that both sides could come back to the table. >> i absolutely believe it's still possible. but i think it's very difficult. if we can get direct negotiations started again, i believe that the shape of a potential deal is there. >> abbas pointed to a major sticking point for palestinians. settlements in the israeli occupied west bank. >> translator: many palestinians when they see settlements everywhere in the west bank, and i don't know who gave israel that right. they do not trust the two-state solution or vision anymore. >> while mr. obama called short to calling for halt of israeli settles, perez had a warning. when they pull the settlement from gaza, extremists moved in

mr. stockman: today robert's a law enforcement officer. in the state of california. he came to washington not to urge congress to pass more gun control, but to extort this body to protect the second amendment. in 22 years, prior to the 1990 federally acted gun control school zone act, there were only two mass shootings on schools and university campuses. now, 20 years -- 22 years since then there have been 10, a fivefold increase. not only has gun-free school zones proven not to be gun-free, they appear to place our children in even greater danger. this time has come to end this very deadly experiment, disarming law-abiding citizens. that's why i introduced h.r. 35, safe schools act, to repeal this deadly so-called gun-free school zones. law-abiding adults, including parents, teachers and administrators, who are allowed in their states to carry firearms, should not be required to be disarmed. our children are too precious to be unprotected soft targets for dangerous people. passing this safe schools act is the first step and i might point out also, mr. speaker, that
