paul brown for his tireless efforts on this subject as well as so many other subjects that have come before this sub committee. we appreciate his public service and his dedication over the years to his constituents, to congress and to our country. so chairman brown, thank you, again, for all you've done. we appreciate all your great work, and i look forward to today's hearing. >> thank you, mr. smith. as i announced earlier, mr. swaulwell will be joining us in a bit. and he will give his opening statement at that time. and then ask his questions in due order. if there are members who wish to submit additional opening statements, your statements will be added to the record at this point. at this time, i'd like to introduce today's witness, mr. todd park, the former chief technology officer of the united states. an assistant to the president. prior to this role, mr. park served as chief technology officer for the u.s. department of health and human services. and before entering federal service, mr. park co-founded athena health and co-led its development into one of the most impressive

jim axelrod is at paul brown stadium where last night's game was played. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the browns and the bengals may have scared off last night in "thursday night football" but there was only one star. it belongs to the 4-year-old girl who belongs to everyone in cincinnati. by the time they held a ceremony to honor leah still, by the end of the first quarter, the 4-year-old had been in cincinnati for 24 hours, long enough for a pregame tea party with her father, bengals defensive tackle, devon still, long enough to hang out with the bengals cheerleaders, long enough for her to own the place. >> thank you for my toys. >> reporter: leah, of course, is fighting cancer, stage 4 neuroblass toma to be exact and she's captured a lot of hearts in the process. well, she and her dad to be precise. devon still is not just a professional football player. he's a model for all dads who have to summon strength for their kids. >> are you ready to get this cancer about you? let's do it. fist bump. >> the bengals have been a strong support for th

and so yeah, paul brown is , leaving from georgia, a very libertarian, antiestablishment, anti-his own party establishment, republican congressman from georgia these been replaced with larry loudermilk in georgia. and michele bachman is leaving but tom amer, an male version of michele bachman is coming in in minnesota. [laughter] and so there's still this problem and john boehner love to -- is going to have to tread very carefully. over in the senate i have three big question marks, and their names are dan sullivan in alaska, ben sasse of nebraska and tom cotton in arkansas. they are all smart and personable an interesting and thoughtful but i'm not exactly sure where they fit in this question of what is your role as a legislator. this is increasingly an important question, to put on republican side. how do these people were elected -- who are elected officials see their role? is this to come here and part of a diverse institution and, representing constituencies, and therefore, we need to compromise and compromise could? -- good? or is a we've been compromising the last 50 years, cons

so paul brown is leaving from georgia. very libertarian, anti-establishment, anti-his own party establishment, republican congressman from georgia being replaced with joedi, michelle balk man is leaving, but tom emmer, a male version of michelle balk man. boehner is going to have to tread carefully. in the senate i have three big question marks and their names are dan sullivan, ben, tom cotton. they are all smart and thoughtful, but i'm not sure where they fit in the question of what is your role as a legislator. how do these people see their roles? is it to come here and we're part of a diverse institution and represent different constituents and we need to compromise or is it we've been compromising for the last 50 years, we're conservative republicans, they tell us they'll shrink government, we're tired of compromising. what will they do? the reason i picked those three is all three were endorsed by the club for growth, the economic libertarian group. the club is enthusiastic about them. the club tends to support candid

paul. >>> governor brown met with the governor of nevada today to talk about the drought and about using something that both states have a lot of. >> several ceos of solar companies predicting within three to five years that solar will be priced competitively to natural gas and given the enormous amount of sun in nevada as well as in california, that is a great opportunity. >> the jerry brown says what's true of energy is also true of water. we have to use what we have in the most efficient way possible. both governors want to create an online library resource filled with drought information. >>> the talk of an el nino winter for california is drying up. scientists and experts are meeting in los angeles to discuss what may be in store in the coming months. there may be rain in the forecast, they are not optimistic. at the beginning of the year, they thought we might be in for a good soaking to ease the drought. >> earlier this spring, el nino came on like gangbusters. the equatorial and eastern pacific were really warming up but as we came through the summer into the early fall, the el n

in he was concerned because they grabbed, that is michael brown, grabbed for the waist area while he was stumbling or walking towards him. >> paulhis one here. more than half the witness statements said that brown was running away from wilson when the police officer opened fire on the 18-year-old while fewer than one-fifth of such statements indicated that that was actually not the case. >> well, no, it was not the case and it gets back to the point in all criminal cases, not just this one, it's not the number of witnesses, it's the reliability of the witness testimony. and in the end, you've got to look at the physical evidence to see if it confirms or contradicts the statements. now, we'll be talking about the blood trail later and we'll also be talking about the autopsy reports later. but that -- those pieces of physical evidence seem to contradict some of those statements and for that reason it was thought unreliable by the grand jury. >> joey, take this point on for me because this is, again, another even split here. among witnesses statements said whether or not wilson fired upon brown when the 18-year-old had already coll

brown were white, this would have gone down in exactly the same way? >> yes. >> no question? >> no question. >> joining me now is cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney, paul callen. and the attorney for michael brown's family, darryl parks. you just heard darren wilson's version of events. he said, there is nothing he could have done differently. there is nothing. there is no way that michael brown's hands were up. what do you say? >> well, erin, without question, we all know that, one, michael brown was not armed. and so the mere fact that this officer feels fear for an -- by an unarmed man, draws serious concern. number two, we now know that this officer had other things that were available to him that he could have used to subdue michael brown. the mere fact that michael brown was coming in his direction should not put this officer in fear of his life. if it is, maybe he shouldn't be a police officer. given the fact that this guy is just coming toward him. he also knew that michael brown had been hit by one of the bullets. and so that's why so many people have a big problem with this officer's explanation, and that's why you see people speaking out the

brown's case parked weeks of civil unrest. the union committee on torture is asking the u.s. government for answers. from geneva here is paul brennan. >> what began just three months ago in a small town of missouri brought the parents of michael brown to the heart of the geneva. their aim is to prove that policies in the u.s. can amount to violation of international law. >> this trip is very important for the family. making a powerful step towards justice. we need your help. that's why we're here. we need the help to get this done. >> the family are convinced that the killing of young michael brown and the level of force used by the police during the subsequent street protests amounts for violation to the u.n. convention or torture and cruel and degrading human treatment to which the u.s. is a signatory. the u.s. is being questioned on its commitment against torture. >> we've learned in the past and strengthened our implementation of the convention. >> the committee's questioning were wide-ranging from guantanamo bay to death row of prisoners but the recurring theme was the question of the accountability of law enforcement

. >> all right, on to you, paul callan, the brown family said wilson seemed very rehearsed that, he embellished his story, this whole thing happened within 90 seconds and wilson remembers an amazing amount of detail. do you think he was rehearsed? do you think -- as his attorneys wouldn't you tell him to tell his story over and over again so he can -- >> of course he was rehearsed. he has sat down undoubtedly numerous times with his attorneys getting ready for his grand jury presentation, reliving exactly what happened. when i have a client in a situation like, this i'll go through several practice sessions, and i may focus on something that the witness has never thought about, a detail that wouldn't come up in an ordinary narrative. so when you see an interview at this stage in the litigation, it looks rehearsed and it looks like there have been some lawyers in the background. >> what i found surprising the details he remembered, he shoots michael brown, his face goes blank and as he falls his face hits the pavement and his feet come up, because michael brown was running at him so fast that hi

paul, the michael brown family lawyer, how simple would it be to do this? technologically would be a huge challenge. i think that culturally in terms of the customs of law enforcement you might get some resistance from some police officers. but the police themselves in certain areas have already begun to experiment with this and the results have been very promising. a study was done last year and a small california city, re-alto, where they put cameras on some of the police officers. it was a very carefully done, serious study with an actual control situation where they put them on some and not on others. what they found was, according to the police foundation research organization was that it cut down on the number of what they called use of force incidents by about 50%. and also cut down to about 1/10 the number of complaints that were made to the police department. no this was with accompanying change in crime rates or anything like that. i think that there is a slowly building body of information that shows that this is a very feasible approach. >> i al

"fox news sunday" is next. >>> i'm chris wallace. just two days till the midterms, the battle for control of the senate. >> this race comes down to one question above all others. who's on your side? >> i think the reason why this election's going to go so poorly for the democrats is it's going to be a referendum on the president's policies. >> from the campaign trail, we'll take a look at the hottest races. >> every crazy liberal in the country wishes me ill. the president has been trying to beat me for years. >> you are the ones that is going to bring this race across the finish line. you are going to deliver the knockout to mitch

they are considering the possibility that brown's killing meets the international tender for torture. paul brennan reports. >> >> reporter: what began in a small town in missouri brought the parents of michael brown to the heart of the united nations in geneva. their schedule has been a whirlwind of meetings and briefings, the aim to bring policies in the u.s. amounting to a violation of international law. >> the trip is important for the family. make a powerful tilt towards justice. we need your help. that's why we are here. we need the help to get it done. >> the family are convinced that the killing of young michael brown, and the level of force used by the police amounts to a violation and the un convention on torture and cruel and invading treatment, to which the u.s. is a signatory. the visit coincides o to the united states being questioned about its record. >> we recognise that no nation is perfect. ours including. we learnt from the past and strengthened the implementation. the question was wide-ranging from questioning detainees at guantanamo bay, but the recurring theme was the

brown's parents at the top of the hour. and joining me now patricia bynes sand paul could you han and james wilson, the attorney for michael brown's friend, dorian johnson, who was with michael brown the day he was killed ab also testified before the grand jury. patric patricia, let me start with you and start first with this news about possible arson, that it could have been an arsonist who burned down the church that michael brown's father is affiliated with. is this something that shocked you? >> no, not at all. after being down here on the ground. what has happened with the protest attracted people with their own agendas. and i mean from the people that are here, this is to be expected. there are a lot of people who are here and have come from out of town to use this as an opportunity to be destructive. so that is not surprising to me at all. and i believe authorities are -- have been aware of that as well. >> and obviously at this point we don't know who might have been responsible, if it was arson. but james, let me ask you, what about the other breaking news that we just heard the mayor of ferguson say, that darren w

louis in terms of the killing of derrick meyers and paul who were killed after mike banno -- mike brown was killed in st. louis, they have been having conversation and now we need action. >> president obama spoke just a little while ago. just listen. >> i join michael's parents, in asks those who protest do it peacefully. >> you have been hearing response from people, what are your friends saying? >> so there's a -- it's interesting, so folks who have been supportive of this movement are either out in the street, and i give my heart and my love to the folks that are out in the street because they need to be out in the street today. and every day. in sustaining this movement going forward but also for folks that may not necessarily know how to plug in or what is questioning, this is a moral decision that they have to -- they have to make. they have a choice. and it's the question of which side are you on? will you allow a community that is going through a militarized police presence right now being exposed to tear gas, rubber bullets and protest against a decision that was already design

people like scott walker in wisconsin, people like governor scott of florida, people like sam brown in kansas, paul in maine. these are governors who were considered really very crediblee to very candidates on the democratic side and they survived. in only one who didn't was pennsylvania. was a specific partisan wave, which is pretty unusual in my experience in the five or six cycles. muchthink i'll stop there >> so picking up on some of those specific races that you of theed, what were some specific governors races that stood out to you this year? it was unusual that there were so many competitive governor races to begin with. going to go ahead and wisely correct my thoughts, republicanssaid seem to most healthy since world war two, and it really since 1928. think that's significant. i don't know if you saw the map that was going around yesterday, lost 7% of their house members but they lost 29% of the represented. they the big districts like the maine second which is huge. it alllook at the map red with these little your been blue pin pricks here and there. around thethis joke internet yesterday

brown. >> my classmate in congress. liz: versus democrat paul davis, the statehouse minority leader.hat's interesting. look, there is a perception that republicans are more business friendly. i would argue that you both did a lot to bring major jobs. put this up on the screen to bring jobs and companies and tax incentives to yyur state. if we glance at, that for kansas, governor parkinson, you brought in amc entertainment, mars chocolate, neuroscience, tax breaks for them. in maryland, governor ehrlich you brought in amazon, gaylord hotels, morgan stanley. ssme received tax credits. taking a page out of nevada governor's book to say that they had lured tesla for the giga factory with big tax incentives, got criticism from republicans who say stop giving tax breaks. whatts the reality? you got to get jobs, right? isn't that the way to do it? >> the reality is neither party and neither has a monopoly on s complete idiots.

gathering at a memorial on canfield drive in ferguson where michael brown was shot and killed on august 9th. we're joined now by paul butler, former federal prosecutor and law professor. mr. butler, listening to the prosecutor, we learned nothing that we had not already learned from leaks from the grand jury process a month ago. at that time there were some who suspected those leaks were in preparation for what happened tonight, absolutely no charges. >> the leaks were in preparation, the declaration of the state of emergency, the calling out the national guard. it all sounds like this was a foregone conclusion. when i listen to that press conference, i wasn't sure whether the suspect was officer wilson or michael brown. it's almost like michael brown was the one on trial. >> we are, at the moment seeing in our live cameras from missouri some activity on the street, there was just a crowd rocking what looks like a police car. that has calmed down a little bit, but it is not a situation that looks under control at this moment. there's a lot of pushing and shoving in the crowd there. now we have a closer shot of peopl
