mr. simpson in avoiding justice, mr. simpson is a fugitive of justice right now, and if you assist him in any way, you are committing a felony." friend and former teammate, al cowlings, ignored those warnings. for more than two hours cowlings manned the wheel of that white bronco as it led cops on a 60-mile low-speed chase on the l.a. freeways. "this is extraordinary. ground level shot there and you can here people cheering from the sidelines" "that's very bizarre" nearly every major network either broke away from their programming all together or went split screen. people flooded the highways in an odd display of cheering fans rooting for a murder suspect who was considering suicide. cowlings would end up taking o.j. back to his home in brentwood but it would take another hour for police to coax him out of the bronco and into their custody without the gun. o.j. was booked at 9:37 p.m. ten and a half hours after he was supposed to turn himself in. "like it or not it was the question across the country this weekend. did yo

mr. simpson's wildfire bill. an excellent proposal that would improve our ability to prepare for and respond to disasters. democrats are more than willing to find a balanced and fiscally responsible way to lift the sequester that is strangling our investments in america's future. and invest in a stronger defense, better infrastructure, bigger paycheck for america's hardworking families. i hope that as we move forward this bill makes those investments and sheds unnecessary policy changes. i urge my colleagues to oppose this misguided bill. thank you mr. speaker. the chair: the gentlewoman from new york yields back. the gentlewoman from minnesota reserves. the gentleman from california. mr. calvert: mr. chairman, it's my pleasure to recognize mr. jenkins, our new member, our new hardworking member from the great state of west virginia, for two minutes. the chair: the gentleman from west virginia is recognized for two minutes. mr. jenkins: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you mr. chairman. i want to appreciate -- expre

mr. simpson, mr. soofi and others known and unknown to the grand jury.everal times throughout the several pages in this indictment which kind of leaves the impression there are other people who might have been involved in the planning or in the early relationships who knew about what was about to happen and that investigators are still taking perhaps a closer look at some of those relationships in the months leading up to that attack. so you're definitely left with that impression as you read through this indictment. >> so there you go, abdul malik abdul karim looking at charges stemming from potentially giving those firearms allegedly to the two terrorists. ed lavandera, keep on it, let us know when we hear about any other development. thank you. nice to see you. >>> coming up next terrible details. a sledgehammer could be a key piece of evidence when the one and only suspect in the mcstay family murder case finally goes to trial. this is happening after five long years. when you hear how those kids died, how their parents died, you may be astounded. ta

mr. simpson, mr. rahim can essentially use the isis brand having to join isis. it concerns me that -- it would appear to me i want to ask you each whether you think i'm accurate in that assessment. >> congressman i think that's an excellent characterization. i would agree with you precisely. they have very effectively leveraged that capability. they have exceptional capabilities and they claim they are making maximum use of every opportunity to amplify effect. representing their victories on the battlefield in the way that they have treated their hostages. they attempt to squeeze every bit, if you will of perceptual power out of social media. >> i agree with mr. mull nen that regard. i've been doing this a long time. i've never seen a terrorist organization with a kind of public relations savvy. >> i think my colleagues mentioned the main points. in addition to that when you look at the social media tweets in english, versus al qaeda or others they are at a much higher rate. it's a propaganda message that's focused on a western-english speaking audience. >> we'r

mr. simpson. >> are there any lessons to be learned from that event or is that just as you say in a way the system worked and a lot of people acknowledge that. are there lessons to be drawn? >> sure there always are. because a jib went out in advance they were all on such high alert that when they came in in their van with the shooting spree they were automatically taken down by the s.w.a.t. team. they were kind of waiting for them. if there was any breakdown i could analyze in that case it's that typically the argument is that the fbi didn't share information with the state and locals. in this case the fbi did. and it would be an issue of you know locals sharing it with their counterparts. and you know the jttf model, when it works well, it works very well. and sometimes you have breakdowns. no one said it broke down in that case but if there was any it was on the part of the locals not sharing it. that garland police officer on the jttf should have taken it to his chief. >> is there any reason to think that these guys were activated, ordered to do this? or was it just self-inspired? >> it

mr. mcgwire? >> do you want to know or do you want to see me hit a few dingers? >> dingers! dingers. >> we had to label that simpson's on there? people would have thought that was real surveillance. i am guessing you have no problem with this surveillance. >> this absolutely did not make headlines. it did not blow up your twitter feed. the government is having cessnas and creating dummy corporations and spying on us sun bathing like andy did. you have the fuji blimp that is posing as illegal aliens. people would shrug at this point. rand paul was talking about how it is the tip of the iceberg. we just believe that everyone is out to get us and it is hard to get a pulse going. >> so you agree no big deal. >> aerial surveillance is a tool in criminal investigations. like a tool in a toolbox. >> and you believe them. i heard your commentary. i distrust the government seven days a week, 24 hours a day. it is not me who needs to be convinced, it is you. >> i distrust the fact -- >> how could you not be suspicious? everyone is supposed to assume, just sit back and assume that the government will not be intrusive when it is

and simpson-bowles. mr. culberson: the scale of the reduction to reduce the agency by $311 billion -- $-- $311 million so abruptly, unfortunately i need to opposed amendment. a 70% cut is simply not sustainable. and, mr. poliquin, i think made a very consequent case just a moment ago for the type of work the i.t.a. needs to do. so i would need to urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. i'd be happy to yield time to my friend from philadphia. mr. fattah: i thank the gentleman. i also oppose the amendnt. the business of our country is i think, appropriate in making sure that our businesses are not locked out of mkets around the world. only 2% of american businesses export anywhere and we neeto have a robust effort because 90% of the world's consumers liveomewhere else. and we do have a reality that other governments are aggressive about promoting their business opportunities and if we want americans to have jobs here, some of those are connected to these opportunities. so i thank thehairman and i suggest

mr. calvert: i hope there's little doubt that indian country especially indian education is a nonpartisan priority of this entire subcommittee. we're committed to building upon the bipartisan work of the former subcommittee chairman, mike simpson jim moran, and certainly the ranking member betty mccollum and all agree we have great needs in indian countriest plirble in education. we were in arizona recently at both the navajo and hoe pee reservations and saw firsthand the needs for education in that country. so though i'm proud of what we've done for indian country in this bill that said, i understand the gentleman's coming from. i recognize there's so much more to do on indian education that can and should be done and so with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the jelleds yields -- the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from arizona. mr. gosar: i thank the gentleman and the ranking member for their help. with that, i'd like to yield a minute to my friend representative rokita of indiana. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for a minute. mr. rokita: i thank the chair thank mr. gosar and mr. calvert and ms. mccollum for their help in all of this. this amendment which i support would fund the b.i.e. to th
