. >> i find it very difficult to believe that wright could not hear the screams of the female passenger in mruhl's boat. we have witnesses on shore, you know, several hundred feet away who could hear her screams for help. >> wright admitted that he was drinking that day, but insisted he wasn't intoxicated. >> i had about five or six beers for the whole day. we went out on the water that day, had pepsi most of the time. >> with a warrant, police searched wright's property and found the boat in his barn. >> you could see, readily see, that repairs had been made to the boat. the bondo and the material on the boat was not flush with the original fiberglass. and it had been spray-painted. areas had been spray-painted white. >> if there had been blood or any other evidence on the boat's hull, it had already been removed and repainted. the propeller had also been removed, but was still in the barn, broken beyond repair. >> that propeller, all three tines of it, showed extensive damage, denting and tearing of the metal. >> there was no blood or human tissue on the propeller, nor did investigators exp

mr. president. the next speaker is chris wright. >> welcome. ~ >>> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. my name is chris wright. i'm the executive director of the committee on jobs. i want to associate my remarks today with those made by dee-dee with the chamber. the chamber put together a working group of chamber members made up of a large spectrum of businesses and they had some [speaker not understood] consideration with the planning department with its report. and i think that's the report that was produced by the planning commission. it's something that should -- we should all consider and i want to thank you all for your careful look at both these proposals. there's one point, though, that i'd like to bring up that is contained in both supervisor mar's and the planning department's, and that is further restrictions on atms. atms are in the community already. some communities are better served than others. will people go to atms, they get cash ~. they don't get cash to buy something on amazon. they get cash to buy something locally. i know in my neighborhood, supervisor mar's distr

wright? okay. mr. williams? >> thank you for coming today. i appreciate t.a job.bout we all agree to that. however, you create a job through opportunity, not througp a guarantee.a a guarantee is not a job. an opportunity to grow and expand is. and increasing hiring is up to the private sector, i believe, not the -- not the federal th government. the private sector offers. you n opportunity. the federal government offers fa you a guarantee. now my -- i guess we talked about distractions in hiring today and i can tell you big distractions in hiring. i'm glad to hear some of my colleagues on the other side agree that the economy is not good. it is not good. distraction in hiring would be minimum wage increase. minimum wage increase does not e cost jobs and make prices go up. we should not be a country of i. minimums, we should be a country of maximums. a high tax on business is another job destroyer where deso small business owners, they're plain too high taxes. then obama care is a real disaster when it comes to smalls business owners, what we can plan, who we

mr. muhammad's defense team, but i'm also kicked out of the army. >> major jason wright quit. he resigned from the u.s. army in order to stay on this case just to you a few months longer, believing that was his ethical responsibility. he decided to quit and leave the army after nearly a decade of service. his last appearance in court as a defense attorney for muhammad was last week. he will work on the case for another few weeks and another military attorney will take his place. this is just a remarkable story. not only for what it says about the legal challenges of trying to prosecute these prisoners we've been holding in some cases for more than a decade now, in a tribunal system we invented just for this purpose, but also for what it says about the dilemmas that we are putting the lawyers through. the lawyers we have tasked as a country representing these defendants. amazing story and amazing sacrifice. >>> good thursday morning, everybody. right now on first look, win, lose or draw. excitement builds for today's big battle in brazil as the u.s. tries to stay alive at the w

mr. griffin? >> as much as possible but copy wright is tough. >> number two, former register of copyright, mary beth peters once suggested the music rights so that music serves can more quickly get started, would you support a music rights organization model rather than the current system? >> complicated question. it would depend on what that looks like. what i would say is that our community cannot subsidize the establishment of new businesses however off our backs. >> mr. miller? >> we support anything that reveals the copyright. >> that would happen in a free market. >> mr. knight? >> i think we wouldn't support the addition of other layers of administration but we do support anything that leads to the efficiency in the marketplace. >> mr. o'neil? >> yes. >> we don't see the necessity for a government regulated single unit and we believe that the competitive market will work in the long run. >> mr. griffin? >> i favor the consolidation that you described. >> here's the tough one, you got to do some mental calculations quickly. what's the appropriate split between a songwriter and a performer for

wright. will not go to commissioner mcdowell. could you turn the microphone on? >> thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member, members of the committee. it's an honor to be back before he committed today. at the outset i should make clear it is my hope the internet remains open and freedom enhancing as it has been since it was privatized in the mid 1990s. as the internet migrated further away from government control, it proliferated beautifully grown from just under 90,000 years in the late 1980s to approximately 3 billion users globally today. its success is the fastest-growing technology in human history was the direct result of the clinton administration's bipartisan policy to keep the government's hands off of the internet sector. in short, the internet is the greatest deregulatory success story of all time, in my view. when it comes to the net neutrality debate it is important to remember that nothing is broken that needs fixing. the fcc is pursuing new rules without the benefit of a comprehensive peer-reviewed economic study, something i've called for time and again over many,
