mr. smith: thank you very much, mr. speaker. the right to life mumplete is the greatest human rights movement on earth. a remarkable, decades-long struggle embraced by millions of selfless women and men of all ages, races, colors an creeds, made up in recent years, i'm happy to say, disproportionately of young people. we defend and seek to protect all the weak and vulnerable persons from the violence of abortion infanticide and euthanasia. we believe in the politics and policies of inclusion, regardless of race, age, sex, disability, or condition of dependence. yesterday, january 22, marninged the 39th year since the infamous holdings of row vs. wade, the pair of supreme court decisions that nullified pro life decisions throughout the united states. the catastrophic loss of children's lives since these two cases has been absolutely numbing. over 54 million children have been killed by dismemberment, chemical poisoning, lethal pills, suction, and starvation. let's not forget that ru-486 is a che

and if it was auctioned off to mr. smith then my was mr. smith. now that we're free, we're no longer slaves. white people no longer own us so i'm going back to the name of a black man. now that i'm free, now that i'm no longer belong to white people. now i want to be called a disgrace. how would a russian be named george washington. and she's still white. how do you look named george washington black as coal. so now i'm free. i love muhammad ali. it's my name, it's connecting me to all my brotherless. brother -- to all my brothers. >> thinking about changing it legally? >> legally? who would have to -- who would i have to face? >> the judge. >> the judge is what color? >> i don't know. >> he's white. so in other words -- in other words i would have to ask a white man, may i call myself muhammad ali bob? >> former clashus clay refused to take the induction into the army. he was immediately stripped of his title by the world fighting belt. clay faces several prosecutions and a possible five year sentence but $10,000 fines. later martin luther king p

now i come along in 1996 and let's says mr. smith has gone on maternity leave or is not around for some reason, there is a lot of teachers switching athat we see. now i don't have the luck to be out taught by mrs. smith. and so what we find in the data is that such students are, they score lower and then they don't do as well as adults. so the type of variation that i'm describing there is basically random. because the students who happen to get the grade four when a good teacher was there versus you know the next year when a good teacher might not be there, that is essentially random there are-- the students are comparable and you are able to control for the factors that you mentioned. >> suarez: if we take your study at face value, do its conclusions risk flattening, simplifying what it is that makes a good teacher? limiting it to achievement on standardized tests? >> i think the main message of our study is that standardized test score impacts can be a useful input into evaluating teachers. but by no means are we saying that test

secretary boomer: reading names] chairman nolan: good afternoon, mr. smith. >> good afternoon. i am here to speak out about keeping the sales of the medallions open. for enabling legislation to -- and we are able to send this thing forward. my colleague a few minutes ago spoke of adding even 100 more cabs. i do not believe that. i believe and adding 500 more cabs. we need them. we need to keep this open. the city needs money. drivers need work. two event happened over the past 50 years. one was the yellow cab, the costs. that enabled about 204300 people to buy medallions. now, a new event happens, where we have a another program, a pilot program. this enabled a plethora of drivers to get in there, and people were saying, "no, no one is ever going to do that." but we ran out of cabs. we can sell them. we can sell the rights the medallion holders. we can put 500 medallions on the street. we could sell 200 of them out there. they will sell like hotcakes. it will solve a lot of problems for everybody. it is a win-win situation. please keep this going. thank you very much. chairman

i think that's old school, like oh, mr. smith. no these super pack ads are crushing retail politicking. politics is so much more important than shaking bob smith's hand. >> if it's going to work, it's not going to work in florida. if you look at iowa and say this man with the funny sweaters can win iowa, it has some effect. it has none in florida. >> it looks like romney is pulling away. >> in florida and that's what's happening coming out of south carolina didn't seem like that would be the case. when you look nationally, here's the gallup national poll. that mirrors another poll today showing that newt gingrich is ahead. >> what do you think? is that attributable to gingrich is ahead overall? >> i think there is a wall that mitt romney runs into that he will not stop running into. he runs into the wall of conservatism. he cannot win them over. he has to do it in a broadway with the south with the tea party, it's very, very difficult. >> there are more conservative states early on in the primary process so that could become relev

>> well, i hate to say, man, mr. smith, those was his gloves. [laughter] i thought mr. smith would have the kindness in his heart to say, hey, man, we made history, you keep the gloves. he didn't have that in his heart. [laughter] so now 43 years later someone else has the gloves. he don't know where they are. so it ain't about the gloves, it's about the theory of the gloves. you know? if i had the gloves, they'd be saying put it on ebay right now. [laughter] >> so, good, so now questions. yes. >> okay. i just want to say thank you for what you did in 1968 because what you did in 1968 allowed me to go to san jose state in 1971, and eric -- [inaudible] we were part of a social experiment that i'm sure came from the efforts that you guys did, you and tommy smith, lee evans, people like that in '68 where they had 50 blacks from all over california come to san jose state as part of an eop program, equal opportunity program. >> yeah. >> and we were part of that program back then, and i'm sure a lot of that came from you and dr. jeffreys and people like that who -- >> [inaudib

actually tested positive for drug use far below the national average regardless of a being a bad idea mr smith wants any chance of being taken seriously in politics maybe he should try to follow the principles of his own legislation and less drug test. and a very very ugly cancerous house speaker michael neil o'neill has developed a habit of forwarding nasty e-mails regarding the president and first lady but this one takes the cake. two weeks ago in an e-mail to fellow kansas house republicans o'neill referred to president obama and a verse from the bible that says let his days be few it also calls for his children to be without a father and his wife to become a widow this text comes from psalm one hundred nine which is actually been a popular conservative motto since president obama was elected and o'neill connects the dots in that same e-mail writing at last i can honestly voice a biblical prayer for our president look it up that is word for word let us by our heads and pray brothers and sisters did i get all about. despite repeated calls neither mr oh no neal nor his office office have offe

mr. smith, good to have you with us tonight. in that sound bite we played in the last segment, apparently mitt romney thinks the housing problem, the nasa problem, the problem with jobs is all president obama's fault. how does that rhetoric play in florida? >> i don't think it's going to play well here at all. floridians remember their history pretty well. when this president was elected, he were bleeding jobs at $70,000 a month. we were already in a housing crisis in florida unprecedented in recent history. when this president was elected, between the day he was elected and the day he was sworn in, we bled about a million and a half jobs in the united states. think where we are now, we've had 22 months of sector job growth, 16 months of private sector job growth. to think this thing was in the ditch, who drove it there? and it's the policies that hadn't changed from the old policies to what they were talking about tonight, so i said tonight i thought it was a good night for democrats. any time the republicans are debating, we'r

mr. smith's recommendation. he is a very dangerous person, and he needs to remain detained. ar as mr. gant, state also feels he's a very dangerous person, and i think the court cannot take the chance he may cause another person harm and he needs to remain detained as a danger to the community also. >> judge, we agree with the psychological component of the recommendation, but i would like the opportunity to argue that they should no longer be detained while the case pends. >> the decision is not an easy one for the judge, and answers won't come overnight. services need to be ordered, placement options explored, and ultimately she must decide if it is in everyone's best interest to send the boys home while all this is in motion. >> well, today of course the court will order that both boys have a psychological evaluation. i know kenneth that you want to leave. i read the letter you wrote to the court about your girlfriend having a baby soon. i'm certain you would like to be there as you told me in your letter, and i would like to give you a break here, but in light of this is y

my goodness, i don't know where the white house gets their coffee but we will go through this, mr. smith comes to dinner in washington. a thrill pore me. and in under six hours the president will make the short trip from the white house to capitol hill to deliver the state of the union address, and he will be full. and it comes with a mix of policy and politics. an economy slowly recovering, but, still troublesome for millions of members. a congress struggling to hammer out agreements on the most bake -- basic functions. and a handful of republicans in a browsing -- a huge fight for the highest office in america. after weeks of pressure, multi-millionaire presidential candidate mitt romney has released his taxes. they show he made $21.7 million in 2010 and gave $3 million to charity, much of that to the mormon church. and the federal tax bill was also about $3 million. that amounts to a tax rate of less than 14 percent. mitt romney will have a slightly higher rate for 2011 but lower than what most americans pay. newnewt gingrich paid 31 percent and president obama paid 26 percent. govern

>> don't push me. >> smith: how did he pull it off? >> mr. madoff... >> how do you feel? >> smith: who helped him? >> are you sorry for what you did? >> mr. madoff, what would you say to all those people that lost money, mr. madoff? what do you say to them? >> smith: and when did it all begin? >> bernie! hey, bernie, give me one nice shot, buddy. bernie, turn around, buddy. come on! >> smith: the year was 1960. madoff had just graduated from hofstra college and married his high school sweetheart, ruth alpern. he was working out of her father's accounting firm in midtown manhattan. from there, he launched a career as a market-maker, matching buyers of stocks with sellers on wall street. >> he started this little stock trading firm, one of many in wall street's outer fringes at that time, and slowly built it up, building up customers. it was kind of like a wholesale firm. >> he would actually pay clients such as fidelity, charles schwab. he'd pay them a penny a share to come and trade through him. so he saw lots of trading volume that way. >> smith: in other words, he would

jones has to be treated differently from mr. smith is a major task.and now we're finding out just like everything else its not as simple as we thought. >> reporter: but knowing more about the molecular nature of cancer has ushered in a new age where the disease is no longer an immediate death sentence. >> today, many cancers that once were fatal are now successfully treated. and even those that remain resistant to treatment, like lung cancer, while not always curable, can be managed for long periods of time. >> reporter: dr. gandara manages people with incurable lung cancer in clinical trials, it is still the deadliest of all cancers, but he's able to prolong life by targeting each patient's individual molecular fingerprint. >> one person's fingerprint is different from another's and if a doctor can use that information to personalize treatment for that patient so that they get the best chance of getting a remission or a cure for their cancer then that's really an advance and so it may be at the end of the day we cure cancer one patient at a time. >>

mr. smith: mr. speaker -- mr. poe: mr. speaker, today there are thousands of americans who are forced to pay $3.50 a gallon to fill up their car to get to work. there are over 14 million other americans who can't get to work because they don't have jobs. meanwhile, the little fellow from the desert, ahmadinejad of iran, threatens to block the strait of hormuz and thus control oil shipments and the price of oil. the keystone x.l. pipeline would bring 7,000 barrels of oil a day from our stable, friendly ally, canada, and bring toyota my district in southeast texas. it would create at least 20,000 squobs and over 100,000 related jobs but the administration arbitraryly just said no to jobs, no to energy, no to national security this pipeline is in the national interest. build the pipeline, make unstable middle eastern countries irrelevant. put americans back to work, lower the cost of energy. while the administration continues to say no to americans, congress has the obligation and legal ability to say yes to america. that's j
