the question is, with why is the nate having so hard a time passing-- been in the house? and, just for reaching the cameras of people want to use the microphone it would be helpful. we don't think it is on the part of senatsponsors of th legislation. they are probably as frustrated as we are. the senate is the procedural gauntlet on probably every issue that has been facing our society and we have seen it in the newspapers on financial reform. it is much more difficult to get anything done because of the power of an individual senator to block any progress on a bill. if they put a hault legislation, it is the same procedure as overcoming a filibuster. you have to get 60 votes to overcome that and perceive. the senate intelligence committee minority staff has been very, very wary of anything which will increase the rights of intelligence or fbi whistleblowers. we think that they are wrong, but they have a very deep believe that any stronger rights for those employees could threaten national security. they are sincere aut it, that is the way they feel and they have the powe

host: next, reporter for politico, go ahead, nate. caller: i must make a correction at first on ron paul, basically saying that rand paul was asked a question and agreed to whether or not he agreed with the civil rights act. that is not correct. i watched the interview and the question was did he agree with the separate lunch counters. pnd he could not answer that question. he more or less trended towards bringing in guns and businesses having the right to include whoever they wanted to. and he never got to answer that question. that was a question about not a question about whether he agreed to the civil rights act. but that was his true conviction. but my question also is this. well, first of all do you agr what i just stated and my last question is this. the republicans have held tower and now it's about dividing america. and if you look at americans must wake up because the republicans are not for the american people they are for big businesses. you take the financi reform, you take the immigration bills. and what do you say on th

wet don't want to reincar nate -- we don't wajts to reincar nate subprime loans. we ought to do one simple thing today. we ought to learn from history. i want to give everybody a small history lesson. the underlying bill answers the question of better underwriting by putting risk retention as a requirement on a newly originated mortgage. risk retention of 5%. mr. president, the tier-one minimum capital requirement after nationally chartered bank is 8%. you going to tell me the banks of america are going to reserve another 5% against the mortgages they originate? no, they're just not going to originate mortgages whatsoever. secondly, risk retention is no insurance for a better mortgage being -- having been made. the fact of the matter is, in the late-1980's, the americans savings and loan industry, which was chartered for the purpose of financing american homes, they went under and they had 100% risk retention. what causes bad lending is bad underwriting. risk retention has nothing to do with it, if you have bad underwriting or, as we had in the late-2007, 2008, 20

a very solid man and many times i've listened to him imlume nate the issue -- illuminate the issue for me. he spoke today about fannie mae and freddie mac. and his sense is that they aren't yet nationalized. that they're still a quasi-government. my position is that they aren't actualized because the government calls all their shots and we've got roughly $50 billion each dumped into each of them and another $50 billion rolled on top that have $100 billion so around $130 billion range peter thinks that thress not $360 billion but $400 billion in losses that will have to be swallowed up by the american taxpayers. and we knew, and we know now that we were looking at $5.5 trillion in contingent liabilities that the federal taxpayers would have to swallow if fannie and freddie were flushed down completely the way the markets might drive them. mr. gohmert: will the ntleman yield? king concluding my statement and yielding, that was -- mr. king: concluding my statement and yielding, fannie mae and freddie mac is an example of how government can't set values, neither can they evaluate risk beca

i want to ask a question in my capacity of chairman of the nate caucus on international narcotics control, and we've been spending some time looking at both afghanistan and mexico and the cartels and you could say that there is eruption in mexico and the cartels and you can say that there is major eruption in afghanistan with the taliban increasingly taking over drug lab activities, transportation of narcotics and in effect, transforming themselves into a narco cartel which i happen to believe will be the result. we have found that as much as $169 million comes from a single roin trafficker in a ten-month period in afghanistan. at present, the dea, which has units to address this type of narco terrorism, does not have the manpower to standp and devote full-time operations in afghanistan. i think they have been very effective. i've talked with former agents, mr. braun, others, about operations in southern afghanistan, and believe that for a fraction of our national investment in that country, a dea unit could, in fact, be dedicated to removing narco terrorists from the battlefield in direc

i think that the actions that our coalition forces the nate owe y sap force -- nato isap forces are conducting their own. we conducted our own review. and in the course of that review we made three conclusions. number one, what happened in afghanistan was critical to america's security interests. in our own home country and beyond in the countries of our friends and allies like great britain. number two that the taliban had after having been dritch out of the afghanistan regained momentum. and that that momentum had to be broken and that it would require from the u.s. and from our allies, you know, more troops on the ground in order to achieve that objective. and i am, you know, seeing signs of that. but that thirdly, there had to be a very close civilian military partnership because you do not expect to win what is called a counter insurgency by military means alone. the military commander who is are in charge of this on our side general petraeus, on the international side general mcchrystal are taking all the lessons that they learned from iraq and applying them in afghanistan and i think to

tee a., the radical group in spain to asenior senator nate -- to assassinate the president of columbiathe way up into mexico. we know this dangerous situation. we know that there are flights now between caracas and venezuela that don't go through the normal customs channels where folks get off the plane in venezuela, who knows where they go. we also know now mr. president that iran has sent shock troops to venezuela. we've now also heard of a foiled attempt from a company called ven-iran -- presumably venezuela-iran -- to ship through turkey alleged tractor parts to venezuela that turned out to be explosive materials. and i come to the floor today to update this continuing story and to again bring hopefully the focus of this congress and this administration on the gathering storm that is venezuela and its contacts to iran. and that is, not only are there now shock troops from iran in venezuela, but we see that the chinese government is giving $20 billion to venezuela for derivative future potential to purchase oil parntsly. lots of questions need to be asked. we need answers from this

that president obama promise todd uphold and still willfully refuses to do so through his suborder nates such as janet napolitano. and i might point out, tomorrow, the attorney general, eric holder, comes before the house judiciary committee. there will be a whole series of discussions and questions that will be brought out, i'm confident. eric holder took a look at the arizona law and i think was responding to a direction from the president of the united states to see if he could find anything unconstitutional about the arizona immigration law or something that was unlawful about the arizona immigration law. so that tells me they didn't know the constitution very well and probably thought there was something in there that made all immigration law the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal government. well, that's not true. it does say in the constitution that the federal government shall protect us from invasion. and it also says in the constitution it's the federal government's job to set and and uniform practice of naturalization. you can tell that i drew a bit of a hesitant blank ther

i brought the legislation to the nate when vice president gore was in that position and he broke a tie, 51-50, for us to close the gun show loophole, to close these -- shut down these dealers that don't have to ask your name, who you are, whe you are, anything. would you recommend congress actingo close the gun show loophole once and for all? >> well, we are committed to keeping guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. we know that people who have access to these guns have committed any manner of crimes. we have certainly seen a disproportionate number of gun crimes in our inner cities and in other places, the incident that you described being among them. we want to make sure that we take advantage of the tools that we have and that we enforce these mechanisms, enforce these tools, and make sure that as i said, we're keeping guns out of the hands of people who should not ve them. >> thank you for that yes answer. i authored the juvenile mentoring program, created one-on-one mentoring for a modest cost for at-risk youth during a brief hiatus i had, it was deauthorized.

host: next, reporter for politico, go ahead, nate.aller: i must make a correction at first on ron paul, basically saying that rand paul was asked a question and agreed to whether or not he agreed with the civil rights act. that is not correct. i watched the interview and the question was did he agree with the separate lunch counters. pnd he could not answer that question. he more or less trended towards bringing in guns and businesses having the right to include whoever they wanted to. and he never got to answer that question. that was a question about not a question about whether he agreed to the civil rights act. but that was his true conviction. but my question also is this. well, first of all do you agree what i just stated and my last question is this. the republicans have held tower and now it's about dividing america. and if you look at americans must wake up because the republicans are not for the american people they are for big businesses. you take the financial reform, you take the immigration bills. and what do you say on

health insurance.ia these three reforms will do far more to lower our cost of health insurance and are nate-- natio, spread coverage and of not break ree taxpayershe that. that is what wade need to have thatn care of here. >> anymore from's our panelists? darrell. >> so you are saying some people are out of luck and you are also saying that hawaii's health care actually be jumped. >> that is a fantastic question. let's look at the health caree bill. it is 2000 border pages long.bia out oft those 2400 pages however of the health care bill, only 5f pages actually deal with the h health care reform, the present of a majority the majority in cangress advocated, oat so whate the other 2350 pages? it is chock-full of favors andol incentives to congressman all over the nation,nd including hawaii.men all what everybody should ask one themselves is if this bill is sa good for hawaii, what is a white need to h be an incentive from ? on the other hand, of course i support an exemption for hawaii but it also begs the question why h do we need to build the first place? >> we will go ha on to the next bi

americans seeking to rule themselves before they threw the yoke of king george off in 1776 and cullmy nated it with the ratification of the constitution in 1787 and finishing in 1789. we're a different nation. when i asked the historian of mexico in mexico city abou the experience -- the colonial experience of mexico versus the colonial experience of the united states, his response was, well, about 7% of mexico are the aristocracy. they've run the country from the beginning. 93% are the people who are being run. and they have no tradition of being able to have a voice that actually changed and shifted the government and directed the government. not a government of the people but a government of the aristocracy, run for the aristocracy that managed and controls t people. now i hope president calderon is breaking that mold. i hope vi sin tee fox started -- i hope vicente fox started it and i hope president calderon continues it. they have suffered thousands and thousands of casualties in thed my tholve war against the cartels but they have a very heavy lift down there. it isn't that mexico mi

nate writes, the fact that he made it onto the plane, we know the no-fly rule is not enforced.he security measures taken at airports are taken to avoid these situations but there's always room to error. we asked some people at the cnn atrium their thoughts. here is what shameka had to say. >> i think that things have gotten better since 9/11. there are still some things that can be fixed, but overall it has improved, security has improved since 9/11. >> let's take a phone call. i think we're talking to teresa in fayetteville, arkansas. how are you doing? >> caller: i'm doing great. >> do you think the system works? what do you think? >> caller: i think we dodged a bullet and i'll tell you one of the flaws is the human error factor. i don't think i understood that homeland security posts a list and allows the airlines to check against that list. i'm not sure why the homeland security folks don't have automatic access to who is on all airlines and then there's one data point to consistently check or you could shorten the time, check every ten minutes if you need to, but leaving i
