i think it is important in the west began to signal to mr.there will be additional consequences. it is pretty clear that nato is not going to go to war with russia over ukraine, but there are things the united states and europe can do that can cause a lot of discomfort and russia. doin your heart of hearts, you actually think vladimir putin cares? does he feel threatened in any way? >> he is a different kind of guy, but this is some of you pays very close attention to his approval ratings. for years, we've talked about this implicit deal putin has with the russian people where he asks them to accept the fact that they have very little political voice, but in return for which he will give them economic stability and growing living standards. he delivered on that from 2003 2008. there were signs the russians were nervous last year at the projected economy was going to below the standards of eight or nine years ago. right now, you have everybody to 1%.ding russia growth i think that bothers mr. putin and to the extent we can push that along, we

actually learn from the people involved what is the problem and how to overcome in the west bank and gaza and israel itself. >> mr. president, we're going to wrap this up. one last question, obviously, an incredibly complicated problem involving billions of women, and religion is obviously a major issue here. if you had to name one thing you thought the worst atrocity or the worst problem, concerning women in the world, what would it be? what can be done about it in 2 # 25 words or less? [laughter] what is your next move >> well, i want the carter sender to be the focal point for anybody who reads a book or listens to the program to say what can we do to help you or we have the organization trying to predate women, how can we be partners and make our double voices be educative. that's what i hope to do in the future because they started the program, in the front row, saying most horrendous abuse, the murder of the milt girl emam trios because the parents want to have boys and families have a limited family sized ordained by the government or because they can't support a bigger family, and then that can be done, i

mr. bundy is tapping into a longstanding tendency in the west to view the government as a creature of eastern establishment." with us now, our msnbc political analyst david corn with mother jones and howard fineman of "the washington post." how like gandhi and george washington is cliven bundy? explain. >> well, gandhi had great respect for cattle, as well. >> indeed. >> except he didn't want to kill them and eat them, so there's that. i, having spent a bunch of time in those parts of the united states, i always find it amusing that people like cliven bundy and his supporters rail against the federal government. but it's the federal government who provides enormous benefits in terms of payments for minerals, in terms of water reclamation, in terms of rural electrify case, in terms of all the things the federal government has the power to provide, but none of that means anything to somebody like bundy, who is under the illusion that he's truly an independent actor who doesn't need any help from anyone else in the world. that's just not the way it works. when he's shipping his cattle on interst

mr. chairman, i'll yield back. >> gentleman from west virginia is recognized for your five minutes. >> thank, mr. chairman. i had to slip out for another meeting, so maybe some of these questions have been asked, but if you could help me out on this a little bit. one is, is there anything that we can learn from the defense department with concussions, injuries that we're hearing from when we talk to our troops that come back? i'm just wondering if there's some way that we're all talking to each other, if you could help out on that? mr. miller? >> yeah. i'm happy to take that question. we're very proud of the relationship that we've fostered over the past couple years with the u.s. army in a specific memorandum of understanding that went back a couple of years that covers a variety of different things. we've gotten current and retired players together with returning, active service members to talk about cultural issues. what is it about football or what is it about the military that makes it very difficult for somebody to remove themselves from play or, certainly in the case of the military,

mr. putin understood that there is absolutely right that the west is weak. their leaders just cynical and they thinking only about the elections and the him, he could perform in that manner he wanted. having in mind that his legitimacy is in doubt because the elections were not recognized as free and fair at least by european parliament and russian opposition, he, feeling the lack of legitimacy inside the country, he need to draw this legitimacy outside. initially that was just i would say, kissing and hugging sessions with european and other leaders, but these days it's a little bit different. he created another consolidation too like extol enemy and having in mind that west is not consistent in implementing the promises, implementing the, i would say pursuing the tough policies vis-a-vis violators, especially human rights violators which is what putin's regime is about, and european court of human rights is full of claims by russian citizens claiming violations of their rights. having this in mind that is just, became absolutely clear that putin is free of

>> ambassador roemer probably is the west source as to -- the best source as to how many were made. >> mr. chairman be, we take great pride in working with congress and the white house on precisely the answer to your question. i believe about 41 recommendations were made by the 9/11 commission, about 39 of those recommendations were enacted into law. as john adams said, it's not just acting on legislation, it's executing and implementing them once they're passed. so there have been varying degrees of success on the implementation and execution both by congress and by the agencies. of course, mr. chairman, i'd be remiss if i didn't bring it up in my old body of congress one of the remaining recommendations has to do with congress. it was the reorganization of the jurisdiction for homeland security which is varied and spread out to about 100 different committees and subcommittees, and we recommend that be their rowed. -- narrowed. that still has not been acted on, and we hope at some point that can be. >> okay. bruce, you may want to add from your standpoint of studying these things for ten
