priority to prosecute and bring to justice perpetrators of terrorism. however, it is important that in its effort to combat terrorism, the department's equally vigilant in upholding justice and observing the constitutional rights of americans that it's responsible for enforcing. this means a commitment to do process and transparency even in the most difficult situations and means congress must be steadfast in its commit to -- commitment to consistent and thorough oversight. the department has taken on an ins colleague -- increasingly active role in public safety. notably the department's efforts to support community-based programs have seen dramatic success. for example, the office of violence against women is charged with providing national leadership and reducing domestic violence through the implementation of the violence against women's act. through 19 violence against women act programs, the department is helping to reduce violence, sexual assault and stocking by strengthening services to victims and holing offenders accountable. most important wor

. -- inquiry turns to the victim, not the perpetrator. it is very difficult for somebody to have been sexually assaulted to go through the physical, and emotional trauma and then reported but then he accused of being the source of the problem -- but then be accused of being the source of the problem and not having the perpetrator addressed. if it is not properly investigated and prosecuted, because of all the investigation, or if it is prosecuted and the jury believes, because of a culture where the blood would be blamed for this, women will not come for -- where the woman would be blamed for this, women will not come forward. teen dating violence, for example, was not part of the original of violence against women act. a few years ago, a 2005, in the third version of the act, it teen dating violence was included so that we could focus our attention and public awareness and resources on addressing teen dating of violence. host: when did you become director? guest: two months ago. host: i have been calling you judge. why am i calling you j

that is what we would be perpetrating with this piece of legislation that is before us. what happened in that situation? in that situation, you had the unions who basically had no interest in that company whatsoever and ended up with a 55% interest in the company at the end of the day, a gift, valued at $4.5 billion. fiat was given a 20% stake to take it over and the secured creditors who thought they should have been at the front of the line, they ended up at the end of the line, where instead of 43 cents on the dollar, they got 29 cents on the dollar and were told, you should be happy about it. at the end of the day, mr. speaker, we are going to be perpetrating that same sort of ability for regulators to be making the same decisions going forward. yeah, maybe they won't be able to give it to their friends at the unions like they did in this case -- maybe they will, but we aren't sure, but at the end of the day we are perpetrating to say to the secured creditors, you want to make an investment in the company thinking you are secured and if the company were to fail and g

can a penetrator or a perpetrator leave behind... >> mcconnell: yes. >> kroft: ...tle things that will allow them to be there and watch and look... >> mcconnell: yes. >> kroft: ... and listen and...? >> mcconnell: any successful penetration has the potential for leaving behind a capability. >> kroft: do we believe that there are... that governments have planted codes in the power grid? >> mcconnell: steve, i would be shocked if we were in a situation where tools and capabilities and techniques have not been left in u.s. computer and information systems. >> kroft: of all the critical components of the u.s. infrastructure, the power grid is one of the most vulnerable to cyber attack. that's because the power grid is run and regulated by private utilities, which are unbeholden to government security decrees. >> john mulder: i walked through the steps an attacker might take... >> kroft: here at the sandia national laboratories, department of energy specialists like john mulder try to hack into computer systems of power and water companies and other sensitive targets in

. >> wasn't his obligation to punish the perpetrators to find out which soldiers did that and punish them? or on the label became responsible? rather than kill innocent soldiers? >> you said three different things, only one of which is in the ballpark. [laughter] >> the medieval rule of reprisal, just as the army is one enemy which is indivisible, when it acts in violation of laws of war, the rules of reprisaa allow you to go after any part of the enemy body, even if the individuals involved were not the perpetrators. i understtnd this is contrary to what 600 years later we have collectively decide it under the geneva convention, which as i said i don't think applies, but i don't think it is relevant here because it wwuld not apply retroactively to the king. >> i understand this is your fall back argument, that your primary argument was it was justified because of the conditions on the ground? >> absolutely, chief justice ginsburg. but me just say, i feel my time has expired, i ask the court to get rid of this frivolous planted to if -- frivolous plaintiff-driven, no-client lawsuit a

about leasing, liability, worker protection, it is about going forward in a way that holds the perpetrator accountable. accountable to the u.s. taxpayer. we will hold bp accountable to the u.s. taxpayer and the businesses in the region, whether they are fishermen or have tourism as their trade, or whatever it is. the quality of life in the region has been drastically affected. before british petroleum continues to spend money on its public relations campaign and gives dividends, it should honor the commitment it has to these small businesses. they can wait it out with bp which they can ill afford to do, take out loans, which they can ill afford to do, and we insist that british petroleum do what is required by law to do. this is a jobs issue. the energy issue is a jobs issue. it calls out n an eloquenttway for a different energy policy in our country. farther down we have to go to extract a commodity, the more dangerous and risky it is. as the president has said in his inaugural address, we will look to the wind and the sun and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. we have to do

when we changed the dynamic and how vlence is perpetrated in o families and stres and music and sportse we recognize violence cannot and will tolerated. one of our initiatives is to more heavily on prevention. much luck with that with at belts and drunk driving and - much of this nature had with seat belts of drunk driving and things the center, we need people to realize that you need to be .afe people will uerstand and no longer tolerate violence. we have me in my view, schizophrenia around which may be why we tolerate it and do not section violent -- do n sanction of violent behavior. we have a lot of a violent music, misogynistic images. we'reot makg a recognition that this is flat out wrong and cannot be tolerated. we have to have a holistic, comprehensive approach to saying that violence isot right and nobody should be subjected to violence. no man,oman, where a child should be subjected to violence -- no man, woman, or child should be subjected to violence. host: doesome of your grant money go to research of men who commit violence against women? guest: there is ather part of the

major swap participants and swap dealers to put more backing behind their swal deals we will only perpetrate this instability. that is not good for these markets and not good for end users. i'm confident that after passing this conference report, we can go home to our constituents and say we have cracked down on wall street and too big to fail firms that caused the financial crisis. with that, i urge my colleagues to support passage of this conference report and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from oklahoma. . >> i allocate myself three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. lucas: at a time when congress should be focused on economic expansion, the majority brings us this conference report which will kill jobs and make financial transactions more expensive. last december, this chamber supported a bipartisan effort to bring transparency and regulation to the over-the-counter derivatives markets while allowing for the management of legitimate risk. it recognized that mom and pop

having said that, most of the terrorism that we have seen was perpetrated in africa and generated externally. and we all know that africa has very large and substantial muslim communities. by and large, those communities, whether they are in nigeria were senegal -- or senegal or kenya, these are all very moderate islamic communities, very much pro- west, and many of them are very close friends of the united states. >> we will take one more of these very quickly and then we will move on with the schedule. >> thank you very much. can you talk briefly about the driver for sustainable development in africa, which has treated well for the individuals with multiple income, for the purchase of goods, so the individual can have some means of looking after themselves or their family. if we think about -- you did not talk about the regional collaboration. and what the administration is doing to strengthen this, and within that framework, there is a sense of intelligence to solve some of these technical problems that they must have in order to attract their own natural resources. >> thank you for the q

', all the common stuff going on -- is we do not have robberies, is because that the people who perpetrate those crimes know that if they come into the area of like where i live, people will fight back. and they know how to use their firearms. you cannot see them flashed around. you do not see any problems with arguments and guns being pulled out. it never happens. so, the people who think that because they live in a place where they have a great fear because they do not understand guns, did not grow up with guns -- it's not a problem. host: inside "the wall street journal" there is a map -- you can see darker states with the most restrictive gun laws. the electors days like texas and oklahoma have the least restrictive gun laws. below that, some ways that states are trying to restrict or regulate firearms -- for example, those that want to limit any bulk purchases include california, maryland, new jersey, virginia. states that want to ban assault weapons include connecticut, hawaii, new york. states that want to permit local control on the loss included florida, illinois, new jersey, penn

null fix and jefferson davis when he was trying to fight the civil war when a lot of evils were perpetrated. states' rights is about power. federalism and the 10th amendment is about balancing power between branches of government, between the federal -- national government and state governments and the balance, not control, the balance is there to protect individuals. because it is so easy for the federal government to ignore it or forget it, we have formed a 10th amendment task force. the goal of that task force is to try and re-emphasize the significance of federalism and to disburse power from washington to restore that constitutional balance of power through the liberty enhancing elements of federalism. five goals. one is to educate congress and the public about federalism. two, develop proposals to disburse power to regions, states, local governments and private institutions and families and individuals. three, to elevate federalism as a core focus of our leadership in congress. four, to monitor threats to federal -- 10th amendment principles and federalism. five, build and foster a co

every time there's a new terrorist evened it is immediately reported that he was the perpetrator wasinfluenced by alawlaki either his lectures or forth. what we do know in the hasan case is that hasan ached out to him there were only to e-mails at al-awlaki replied to and speculation that maybhe was being entrapped so all the other e-mails that hasan had se he didn't rspond to and there's talk in the cse about abdumutallab and tat he was influenced but what do we know in the open source literature about what that was exactly otr than maybe they just listened to his seat. >> i can to get stuff done that. it is a very good question because somebody said finding a yanna mosul man was influenced a little bit like finding a public influenced by rush limbaugh. there is an element and again this goes to the difficulty that the u.s. government at least in earlier times in sort of penning the crime on this by. he says what he wants, people listen or don't listen. the thing that was striking, however, is in a number of cases i counted a dozen or so before the fort hood, his material, the more

only by making sure that people know there are consequences to having perpetrated this type of fraud will we have the hope of deterring anybody from doing it. i hearken back to some of the discussion we had in other sessions. one of the main ways to do this is to go after the individual executives who are responsible to make sure the they are not just going to walk away because the corporation takes a hit. they will go to jail and suffer the consequences. they make millions and millions of dollars will be forced to give it back. that to me is one of the keys that could come in a successful program to deal with this. from what i see, there has been an increase in resources. it is hitting the ground. i have checked with friends in the fraud section and criminal division. they said they have been hiring. that is promising. i find that a very important first step to start dealing with this issue. there has been a lot of talk about it. it is finally getting done. >> you mention coronation. let us start with the u.s. attorney's. there is a long history of u.s. attorneys being protected of

english fans tend to attract a fair amount of violence, and perpetrate a fair amount of violence historicallyst: is it true that this is the most watched sporting event? guest: easily. even in this country, the world cup final france-italy, did a better number on abc than the nba finals did. it is a global game. even in this country even in this country, all lot of people pay attention -- even in this country, a lot of people pay+ attention. host: sean. caller: i think democrats seem to be more open to international soccer, then republicans. particularly, in the south, i hear a lot of animus toward the world cup. it is akin to the hatred of the u.n.. a lot of republicans do not like the united nations, and also, because urban areas tend to be more democratic. uc soccer to be more popular there. do you believe that is true? guest: i had a chapter in my book about how soccer explains u.s. culture war. you do have a certain divide between people that are engaged with the global economy and the world more broadly, before whom it is a natural thing to embrace soccer. you have the other side that d

guest: if the woman was the perpetrator? host: right -- guest: you hear it. it is not all the time, but you do hr it. people have different interpretations of what happened. one of the signature programs of the office is training across all ofeson it is incumbent un every profession to receive appropriate training so that we knowow to listen to the facts and on cover what was going on. -- uncover what was going on paying attention to the pattern and dymics of behavior is the critical function of the judge did the same thing with la enforcement whenhey are investigating assault. we are binning to understand that not a domesti violence is a rose is a rose is a rose. there are different types of violence, and people commit violence in some cases to initiate the violence, the primary aggress, but sometimes there are defensive acts, and th can b of men and women, in response to an assault. but it is important that you are listening to the whole dynamic of what happened, so that we can he really who was the primary aggressor and who was simply trying to defen thems

but it can serve to ensure that no such inhumanity is ever perpetrated again on american soil. and so today juneteenth sell brates african-american freedom while encouraging self-development and respect for all cultures. this celebration of the end of slavery is an important and enriching part of the hiitory and heritage of the united states. i therefore ask my colleagues to join me in supporting passage of this measure. and with that, mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. for what purpose does the geetleman from nebraska rise? mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. p yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: thank you. i rise today in support of h.res. 564 recognizing the historical significance of juneteenth independence day. it is important to once again pemember a day when the wants and needs of the people was brought out of one of the darkest days in history. on june 19, 1865, 2,000 federal soldiers marched into galveston and notifie

ery time there's a new terrorist eved it is immediately reported t he was the perpetrator wa inluenced by l-alai either by his lectes or so forh. what we do know in he hasan case is at hasan reached out to him there were only e-mails at al-awlaki replied to and specution that maybhe was bei entrapped so all the other emails at has had sent he didn't repond and ere's talk in the cabout abdumutallab and that he was influenced but what doweknow in he open source liteature about what that was xactly otr than may they just >> i can take a stab at that. it is a very good question because somebody said that finding a young muslim man who was influenced by a anwar al- awlaki is like finding a republican who was influenced by rush limbaugh. this goes to the difficulty that the u.s. government had in earlier times and sort of putting a diet -- a crime on the sky. he says what he wants. people listen or to not listen. the thing that was striking is in a number of cases -- i counted a dozen or so - is material, the more radical material had turned up in about a dozen cases, all english- speaking m
