when the 2002 farm bill created the usda peanut standards board to advise on standards for handling and quality of peanuts, south carolina was not a substantial peanut grower. since then, south carolina peanut production has increased significantly, as it now produces 8% of the united states peanut crop. making the state the fourth largest peanut producing state. as i have said before, south carolina appreciates peanuts so much that the state legislature has selected the peanut as the state's official snack. each year i look forward to the peanut party festival, which celebrates the importance of peanuts, which is held in south carolina, led by mayor barbara carey. south carolina is fortunate to have enterprising entrepreneurs promoting peanuts with farms of lexington, owned by the mathias family and the peanuts of columbia, heralded as, quote, guaranteed to the worst in town, end of quote. that's meant as a compliment. my south carolina colleagues and i are grateful to acknowledge the significant increase in the peanut crops in the state and to advocate for the increase to be reflected

it will change the standards of how it goes through.f the president makes a designation under the antiquities act, then he can make the announcement under -- without the mandatory public input. there are questions about the validity of where are the lines. those are all done after the proclamation is made. have any type of discussion ahead of time, so we tried to avoid that process. it is established in order to try to mandate that people do , but it doesnput not apply to the way that the president uses the antiquities act today. we want the president to use the antiquities act and be able to make declarations for antiquities. if it is going to be 640 acres which would be the original intent of the law, then there is no standard. he can do whatever he or she wishes. use thee, you need to process which guarantees public input. i do find it odd that democrats are saying they want more accountability and transparency. for once, we agree with them. i do also want it for all administrations going forward. 10,000, the change in the process, a

even with doubling the standard deduction. so, leader mcconnell and speaker ryan argue this is a boon to wealthy taxpayers in blue states. it's not true. it's just not true. here's another amazing thing. we don't know where this came from. they raised the bottom rate from 10% to 12%. the lowest rate on the poorest and working class americans. so what the plan does is, the top rate on the wealthiest comes down and the bottom rate on working class families goes up. what kind of plan is this? republicans will argue that they double the standard deduction so it covers the raise in the lower rate. bunk. by repealing the personal exemption, republicans are once again raising taxes on middle class and working americans. a family of two on this framework with a household income of $45,000 could see their bill increase by $1,000. that's not helping the middle class. they are using fine print, hidden tax hikes on the middle class, in order to give huge cuts for the wealthy. the plan will add anywhere from $5 trillion to $7 trillion to o

assume if you talk that way you won't be able to speak standard. even if we understand it's not mistakes, there's a sense if you use that system it will keep you from using the standard. that is an american kind of misimpression, a perfectly understandable. our dialect is relatively thin. english hasn't been here for 2000 years as in for example, england where different ways of speaking have been doing this for much longer. and so there are kinds of english there that person like english to us. america's 15 minutes old, and so we don't have that depth of this i'm not going to call it dialect differs a vacation. that sounds like a disease. it's just there has been as much of this going on. some, hawaiian pidgin, louisiana creole conference. those are all spoken literally on the geographical margins of the space and louisiana creole french is essentially extinct. i just thought that many people who speak those. for the most there are dialect differences but there's a certain vanilla aspect to the way english goes here. black english is the most diver

sex trafficking standard and we did hear from senators portman and blumenthal that the standard they were talking about in the opening remark was the higher standard. we are happy to have discussion and seek that clarification in the bill. we do share the goals of the committee and the senate that we should work together to put an end. >> i understand that. i'm trying to get to the details. what specifically would you want to see change when it comes to the knowledge standard? can you be very granular for me. i understand your intentions and the nobility behind them, i'm trying to understand what's wrong with the knowledge standard as stated in this legislation. >> and so, today the bill, section four states knowing conduct, et cetera et cetera and the standard that we previously talked about and the standard that senator portman and blumenthal referred to is knowingly facilitate sex trafficking. the advice i'm getting from legal counsel is that those are two different things in there seeking to clarify that difference. we are happy to talk to any members of the committee. >> thank y

i don't i don't think there is a double standard i think that there's bad behavior on both sides good show it's been pervasive for years at fox news it's been it's happened in hollywood i'm not denying it but there are conservative elites you have the koch brothers you know there are liberal elites there are leaks in this country who have money and power and they're on both sides but to say that the right is squeaky clean and. i'm not saying they you know what i'm not saying that i don't think any and i don't think anybody is saying that now no one is saying that ok what i'm to what i'm saying is that they did it and i go to jena and west palm beach for the warmest part of the program here. you see that you know why didn't people come forward earlier you see these type of little connections here and it was about convenience and i think there's hypocrites on all sides ok when it comes to this issue here but at the same time you we do know that the new york times over a decade ago was working on this and it was squashed ok squashed and and i have to wonder why women in hollywood didn't

the criminal vagueness standard. the first they said before you ever get to jordan is that the 16 p is itself a criminal statute. the second reason is the point ha justice gor such was making about the relationship between criminal law and immigration law. there is not an area of law where the two are as integrated. the aca provision here in particular has very significant criminal consequences. the aggravated felon label once you are an aggravated felon, that's in the ina. certain immigration crimes are triggered and so aggravated felon becomes a an element of a crime. i'll give you an example. if this vagueness analysis works the way the government says it works, mr. dimaya can be deported because he had sufficient notice or the statute was sufficiently clear. but, an aggravated felon who reenters this country is prosecuted as an aggravated felon. if he reentered the country he can be not -- he can then not be prosecuted as an aggravated felon. because the statute would be too vague. that makes no sense. which is e

well rob's accusation is ludicrous there is absolutely a double standard and it's evidence by the fact that lisa bloom even talk harry weinstein's case because she's supposed to be the advocate for the sexually harassed sexually abused whatever woman right and then look at this what about hillary clinton who hasn't had a word to say about this whole thing what about the obama's who were all talking about the locker talk incident that lionel mentioned that was blown into something huge that as he mentioned there is no there is no proof of anything ever actually happening by donald trump and yet they're trying to make comparisons on that there is a complete double standard and we know that hollywood is where the black ball was started if you didn't do what the big powerful producers wanted you to do you would not just not get that movie role right you would be blackballed from all of hollywood i just moved away from california peter because there is a moral bankruptcy in hollywood has spread of much of television to jane it is a money and power base of the democrat party ok they did jame

peter imagine again the issue that we're speaking of is double standards not. the policies of the d.n.c. they are zero but imagine this assume argue oh no for the sake of argument the following let's assume that was a a republican or a conservative version of meryl streep. who not only lauded encourage r.v. wind or kept your mouth shut but she would make you money everybody is making money and thirdly new about this but lauded in addition to that roman polanski now i'm just saying and i'm not going to argue that marriage of. the question you asked very simply is is there a double standard the answer is yes and let me tell you who knows that mainstream america mainstream main street of people and they're also asking why did blade runner why is it crashing why is the new jet i movie why is hollywood freaking out because netflix and others are just destroying it they need this right now like all of the ok hang on here is cool i know you let me do you know i'm going to evolve to be good you let me give gina the last word on this program hopefully with her great pow

standard,nder any this is vague. i know you are saying it is not arbitrary for a bunch of different reasons but please explain to me on the two grounds ordinary caseed, or type of risk, how this is not equally arbitrary. mr. nagler: there are a number of reasons we think that is true. it was the sum of the residual clause that created the problem. whatever might be the problem with one of those, it was the combination. >> i thought it was only two. >> they were critical attributes of the two. that is the point. >> i am quoting. two conspired to make it unconstitutionally vague. then there is a clear hole in your sentence later on the knee opinion where it basically tells you what the two aspects are they were talking about, it says combining determine as the and it indeed terminus in about how much risk it takes for it to qualify for a violent felony. it has arbitrariness in the due authorized. so that is number one. adinary case analysis and fairly fuzzy standard as to the threshold level of risk. i guess the questi

those folks were taken the standard reduction would be able to claim this benefit. it would do a better job of targeting benefits towards lower middle income owners. >> host: should point those to the mortgage interest reduction section eight with chris of that group, be about 15 minutes left. we'll get through his many calls. nancy crawford from nebraska. >> caller: yes, i'm calling to thank you for the journal she had an earlier there were talking about licensing journalism. my experience is a small town newspaper in red states located in rural areas focus on public relations and not properly informing the public about predator industries. >> host: okay, were trying to stay focused on housing aid in the time we have left. victor is a homeowner in flori florida, go ahead. >> caller: good morning. i have a question on the homeowners, the original value of the house, is it in the forecast to be transferred to the present value of the house at this time? >> i'm sorry i'm not sure if i follow that. >> what i'm saying is the original value of the house is that in the fo

it maintains a standard of how it goes through. if the president makes a designation under the antiquities act, then he can make the announcement without the mandatory public input. oftentimes about having that public input. and with questions about the validity of where are the lines. the you have private property within those. those are all done after the proclamation is made. indeed it has to be you that you can't have any kind of discussion, deep discussions ahead of time, so we tried to avoid that process. national environmental section policy. it is established in order to try to mandate that people do have public input, but it does not apply to the way that the president uses the antiquities act today. what we are doing is simply saying, ok, let the president uses antiquities act and allow him to make declarations for antiquities. but but a process in there. if it is going to be 640 acres which would be the original intent of the law, then there is no standard. he or she do whatever he or she wishes. tau have to use the nep

this shorter week gives us more leisure time to enjoy a standard of living beyond the wildest dreamsne who lived to have a century ago. the more ourarn, families have to spend on things they need and want. it is an opportunity denied fathers and grandfathers. and we have been able to raise our standard of living without sacrificing the spiritual side tolife which means so much the american. our business system has provided so much for our population, in spite of destructive forces that have pounded against our freedom to no avail. represent -- interrupt the normal operation of business. and they may result in government controls which crack the essential blocks in our foundation of freedom. in world war ii, wages were controlled. many workers were frozen to their jobs. profits of businesses were limited. raw materials were advocated between essential and nonessential business. on main street usa, many of us found a good portion of our went to theapacity war. the available supply of goods was rationed. in more emergencies, we allow the government to restrict wetain of our freedoms, bu

the standard deduction does not undo it because you lose the standard exemption. even if you just husband-and-wife without kids i'm can ask unanimous consent the debate be delayed for a few minutes. i just need to finish my remarks, most on. okay. so, the benefit of state local deductibility affects every state, every city, every town, every municipality and goes deep into the middle class and working class. one other point i have to make, never realizing that some of our republican colleagues or say will modify. folks, there's no real way to modify the provision to eliminate state local deductibility. you want to give a choice, that won't work because for middle-class taxpayers is the only the combination of their itemized deduction, state, local, mortgage and others that make it worth them to i mice. if you have to choose between the mortgage deduction in your property tax deduction? it's a loser. so they say will just do this for the very rich, that's not where the money is. where are you going to cap it? it's mostly middle-class deduction. so for cap it for pe

he wants to know the standard for determining vagueness in civil cases. >> so, the standard was laid out by this court in hoffman estates. the seriousness of the crime, how serious a penalty is. . >> that's where i get stuck. the consequences in civil matters can be very grave. forfeitture. take a man's home. his entire livelihood. deport him. graver than any other. the line between civil and criminal depends. >> i will answer the question, but let me preface it by saying i've only mepgsed one of the reasons that this court doesn't have to figure out the answer to that question. >> let's answer the question first. >> i would go back that this court has rejected a sharp line between civil and criminal. whether civil or criminal with severe consequences. >> how do i determine that? >> here's how you determine that. this court has never had to get into the that question since hoffman estates set this out. it's not a question that arises often. the way the court answers the question here is we know first amendment cases are on one side of the line. what else comes on that side of the lin

well, we undertake exploration required by state standards -- these aren't federal standards -- where we essentially have what's called ice roads and ice pads. so let me show you what that means. so we only allow for exploration in the winter on the tundra, and then when an exploration group comes out, they have to build an ice road. it's a road made of ice over the tundra. and they do -- this is an example of an ice road. and then they do exploration on an ice pad. they have drills and they do all this work on the ice, on the tundra. they have about four months to do it. and then they're done. and then they leave. so what does the tundra look like after that exploration on ice? right here. that's just one capped well, an exploration well. it says nobody was even there. literally zero impact. these are alaska standards. highest in the world. they're expensive, yes. but we do it because we care so much about the environment. that's the exploration phase. how about production phase? what's happened in the production phase? the innovations in technology, many of which have occurred in my

i mean as we look at the standards here we look at there are ways for example you start off with the kennedy shooting i thought that was an interesting analysis because since then buildings and parade areas have been handled in a certain way where it comes to security the way a building is accessed in and out of a building is even been as an even been very so there are types of standards that develop in this business after events like that shooting that you talk about but as you're looking at it i mean i think you could go to mandalay bay i'm sure you're looking at this in find out that they had standards within their own hotel that were violated like i raised earlier the notion that you know you don't leave a person in a room for thirty six hours without saying what the world's going on not matter of fact steve wynn recently gave a an interview about that he said we'd never consider that type of thing this man this mandalay base think they just escaped this thing from what from the way you're seeing them promote this story. well of course it's difficult to know what they think we ca

you know, what ethical standards did you already have?of money, let's remember there is a lot of mub money involved with this. the speed with which suddenly now this emergency meeting is called, they're trying to disassociate themselves. it's the line, the error... sexual predator for over 30 years. ignorance and complicity in sexual predatory behaviour, that's them, that's hollywood, that's the casting couch. they're kind of talking about themselves there. i think they really need to look themselves in the mirror a little bit and their actions. to finish this subject, you do realise that it's power and the bottom line that has been leading the way they conduct themselves and you wonder how really that's going to change because at the end of the day it's about the bottom line in hollywood. it's money, money. the academy awards, ricky gervais next year, i think he would prick a few egos there next year, if he was asked to host it, that would be very interesting. this is notjust happening in america, it's notjust happening in america, it's

it becomes a standard required process. it would include a requirement for updates if fls any significant additional information. so those are certainly a couple of areas where i can see congress very definitely could play a useful role here. >> i think if we had the money that would go a long way, we respect independence of each state and locality in the conduct of election. one of the challenges we have is how do we integrate ourselves into that process without becoming a nuisance. we were involved in the help america vote act, but we had some experiences there that tell us we have to set some matrix and other things and not just give the money. i think that's kind of what your comments might be about. i yield to the co-chair. >> thank you, co-chair. i first like to thank our witnesses. this election proved there are powerful enemies who want to harm our elections. we are here to understand that threat and try and hopefully do something about it. when a foreign power interferes in our election, it is an attack on our nati

justice alito: that's not a -- that's not a manageable standard. it's not a manageable standard that you cannot have a law that says draw maps to favor one party or the other. ms. murphy: i think it's - justice alito: that seems like a perfectly manageable standard. ms. murphy: if it's on - justice alito: you cannot have that. ms. murphy: -- the face of the statute, i think you have a different scenario because at least at that point, you know the intent. you know there's no debate to have about the intent of what the legislature is doing and if they are intentionally drawing for one purpose or another. justice kagan: but there are plenty areas of law, ms. murphy, where we look at intent beyond the face of a statute. and, you know, sometimes that's harder than other times. we understand it can be difficult. we understand in other cases it can be easy. but we do it all over the place in our law. we don't -- we don't say, oh, if it's not on the face of the statute, we're never going to look at it. so if your answer to justice alito is well on the fac

we do not have low standards. there is nothing to say we have low standards.d. we have people who work there, 850 people in question, and i can't accept that you say we have low standards because our factories don't have low standards. and finally, in the lords peer were once again considering a matter very dear to their hearts: themselves. when a hereditary peer dies or retires an election is held for a replacement. a labour peer lord grocott bemoaned the lack of women and ethnic minority people who were eligible candidates. can ijust ask him a very simple question, which if you could just give a yes to we could move onto next question. and it is this. will the government do something which will hurt no one and cost nothing? and back my bill which would scrap this whole ludicrous system. in grateful to the noble lord for that. he beseeched the minister. moving onto the next question would tell me at all because i have to answer that one. the minister agreed the system was difficult to defend. this opposite number had a cunning plan. some of my best friends ar

in doing so, it created a standard for when d.e.a. may suspend a party's registration to distribute prescription drugs without any prior court process. and that standard is that there must be a, quote, substantial likelihood of an immediate threat, unquote, that death, serious bodily harm, or abuse of a controlled substance will occur in the absence of an immediate suspension. in both committee and floor statements, i made clear that this standard is intended to cover situations where evidence of diversion indicates there is a substantial likelihood that abuse of a controlled substance or of any controlled substances will occur. "the washington post" article glosses over much of this background. it does not explain that the immediate suspension order is intended to be an extraordinary measure. it does not explain that prior to the bill, d.e.a. had basically cart blanche authority to impose this measure. it does not explain the d.e.a. has other enforcement tools available, including show cause orders, which are supposed to be the agenc

with most families in those days, the standard of living left much to be desired.later, we had invested enough in our business system to provide the average worker with efficient and expensive buildings and machinery to enable him to produce enough in a 40 hour week to earn twice as much as the 1900 worker earned in a 60 hour week. this shorter work week gives us all more leisure time to enjoy a standard of living beyond the wildest dreams of anyone who lived a half-century ago. the more we are in, -- the more the more our families have to spend on things they need and want. young people have leisure time for a fine and enjoy educational opportunities denied their fathers and grandfathers. and fortunately, we have been able to raise our standard of living without sacrificing the spiritual side of life, which means so much to the american family. system hass continued to provide a better life for our increasing population, in spite of destructive forces which have pounded against our foundation of freedoms with no avail. however, wars or the threat of wars interrupt

that will keep will continue to develop my prediction is this case goes on you're going to find standards that are usually followed within the industry that have been have not been followed here what's your general take on where you think this is going to go well there are chapters of the story yet to be unfolded i'm sure and that is first of all m.g.m. has their fingerprints all over both sides of the street they were coping. boosters of the concert they own the site where the concert was held and they worked with a live nation as you probably know live nation is the largest promoter and producer of these kinds of the news and they actually last year they had eight and a half billion dollars in sales they have a market value of six and a half billion and and that is one terrific target you would have thought that they had some mature and seasoned security systems available they had no no exits for emergencies they had no signs for exits they had chaos that reigned as soon as the bullets started flying someone elected to flip all the floodlights on right on the crowd of darkness all aroun

this shorter week gives us more leisure time to enjoy a standard of living beyond the wildest dreamso have a century ago. -- lived a half century ago. the more we earn, the more our families have to spend on things they need and want. young people today have leisure time for fun and enjoy educational opportunities denied their fathers and grandfathers. fortunately, we have been able to raise our standard of living without sacrificing the spiritual side of life which means so much to the american. our business system has provided a better life for our increasing population, in spite of destructive forces that have pounded against our foundation of freedom to no avail. however, wars and the threat of wars interrupt the normal operation of our competitive business system, and may result in government controls which crack the essential blocks in our foundation of freedom. in world war ii, wages were controlled. many workers were frozen to their jobs. farm prices were controlled and profits of businesses were limited. rob materials were allocated between essential and nonessential busines

it is not a subjective standard.tiple officers testified and witnessed nothing that would have put these partygoers on notice that they were not supposed to be here. objectively a reasonable officer, what they would have believed. they believed it was a strict liability crime. our contention is that the facts that have been mentioned, flight, which i want to adjust, drugs, prostitution, our point is that none of this is evidence of the mens rea. >> as you say it is an objective standard. there are these cases in the district of columbia, tillman is the one that gets the most emphasis in the briefs. there are others. , bowman, and all of these cases which are d.c. court cases. they upheld convictions for trespass even though the person gave some excuse about how they they had noor reason to know that they were there. wondering, a d.c. police officer, all these cases, that say, we will uphold convictions even though people like the partygoers here have, get up on the stand and say, this is why i thought i had a right t

this is standard operating procedure in washington, d.c. was a part of the reason why hillary clinton took so long to say anything about this and mind you, also set it to a spokesperson instead of coming out herself indirectly saying it is because he is a mega donor and he has donated tens of thousands of dollars to her campaign. to chris's earlier point, i think the hypocrisy angle with her husband is part of the reason why she had such a difficult time enacting with women voters and why so many women across the country rejected her because she had said previously that victims of things like this, they deserve to be hurt, they deserve to be, then her husband was out there is a top surrogate for her campaign. she takes five days after this to say something and says it instead of saying the route directly >> harris: there is so much tea leaf reading that we can go here so i don't want to go down that conjecture road. just logistically why you would let your publicist speak for you is because you don't want to take questions. i get that. she

the controlled substances act empowers dea to bypass the standard suspension process in cases where dea determines there is "an imminent danger to the public health or safety." in such cases, dea can issue an intermediate suspension order that immediately and without prior court process terminates the distributor's ability to distribute prescription drugs. prior to last congress, the controlled substances act did an define what constitutes imminent danger to the public health or safety. abilityects the dea's to spend and abilities -- essentially unfettered. of the patient advocacy and drug manufacturing community because an immediate suspension order cuts off all drugs from a distributor, including those intended for legitimate users. a balance is needed to ensure individuals who need prescription drugs for treatment but such drugs are not diverted for improper purposes. negotiated last congress for the first time defined what constitutes an imminent danger to the public health or safety. in doing so, it created a standard for when dea met -- may dispense -- may suspend registration and

many of them don't use the standard deduction because it's so terrible but they are penalized. so eliminating the state and local deduction slashing taxes for the wealthy and huge corporationswill hurt middle-class taxpayers . there's effort to compromise state and local deductibility, they don't work . some have proposed okay, let's give taxpayers a choice n between getting rid of the mortgage deduction and the state and local deduction. that's like saying should i chop off your left hand or right, mister middle-class taxpayer? others have said let's limit it to people say below 100,000. lots of people are at risk in high-priced areas like long island and it reduces, doesn't reduce the deficit by much. a large percentage of the deficit would still go up. so it makes no sense to eliminate state and local deductibility. vice president pens ought to go to western new york but better than visiting a small business, he should go to a middle-class family. in amherst or in orchard park . or in tonawanda. tell them he's there to tell them he's going to raise their taxes. >> finally mi

. >> host: is this book a call to return to the gold standard, the so-called gold standard? >> guest: it's not a return to the gold standard because money is real and gold is real, and gold is the standard of value and money is measured against gold. the particular paper currencies around the world are ultimately measured by gold, and will increasingly be measured against new crypto currencies that are emerging on the internet. the internet, , it's not going back to anything. new technology is making possible the restoration of money in the spirit of hayek rather than in the spirit of keynesian manipulation. >> host: when you talk about internet currencies, what are you talking about? >> guest: just talking about all, that coin was the first. and that coin was a global currency that was launched on the internet and transcends national borders and enables the bypassing of all big third-party walled gardens of the internet like google, facebook, apple, all these giant companies. amazon. that dominates the internet or bypassed by a new economy based on global money that's emerg

we do need to have ethical standards and we need to have worldwide agreement.s weapons systems. the campaign is gaining traction, there have been all kinds of discussions and i know some of the people involved quite well in the united nations. but we know the limitations of the united nations and the limitations of politics and we know that human nature usually leads to the striving to compete and to win, whether it be in politics or in the battlefield. can i leave you with this thought? it seems that there is a debate within science and you are on one side being sanguinary and optimistic. perhaps on the other side, stephen hawking recently said that the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. do you find that kind of thought helpful or deeply unhelpful? deeply unhelpful. the problem is that it is not inevitable. what he is talking about here is a very small probability. if you like it is a very long series of if this happens, then if that happens, then this and so on and on. i wrote about this in the observer back in

the key is that there held to a higher standard. in the area breach notification equity fax took more than six weeks when they learned of the breach to tell consumers what happened. under the are paying union privacy law the have 72 hours when they confront a problem like that. you can still operate your business or just held to a higher standard. >> with those three agencies are they profitable in your with a different business model. >> i know some operate in the u.k. we have a different group in europe is not necessarily the three were familiar with here. we know that equity fax is in the u.k., not sure about continental europe. >> could you give to the committee from those three clients specifically what they do in europe and how big of presence a half and how they're doing in terms of profitability in public plans about continuing? >> one thing i would say about europe and the professor may disagree with that, i don't believe there's a right to be forgotten with respect to credit report information. there is guidance in the e.u

i think nancy pelosi is held to a different standard than others. the vilification in a sexist way led to this discussion. >> tucker: [laughing] journalist and author cathy joins us. i love this tape. i watched it like 19 times. this is a pile up at the 4-way intersection of identity politics. what that clip doesn't reveal. one of the people who called for nancy pelosi to step aside at the age of 77 is linda sanchez from california. i am losing track of who has privilege here. how does this work? >> well, linda sanchez is not necessarily right because she is a latino woman. i think some are sexist when it comes to nancy pelosi. nancy pelosi is a pioneer and a powerful woman. who knows? maybe she is jealous. >> tucker: i don't traffic in things like sexist. it's a stereotype don't you think to suggest that linda sanchez is jealous? >> i don't know why you would make that comment. it doesn't make sense. nancy pelosi is not a liability and her caucus supports her, why would she be there. linda's comments make no sense whatever. here are the numbers. af

immunity standard? how do those three things work together here? >> thank you your honor. i think there were facts that were undisputed, there are disput attempts to dispute those facts which i'm happy to discuss, the inference drawn from those are for the court and probable cause as a matter of law. the court puts itself in the shoes of the officer and thanks, wasn't reasonable for the officer to arrest on these facts. of course, if there are inferences drawn, the court will defer to those. >> you said you were happy to discuss the reasons that the disputed facts come too late. what are those? >> because it was inappropriate for the respondents to wait, even in their papers and it's inappropriate for them to ask this court to be the first court to consider these claims a dispute. >> why would they be asking that? one thing is there motion or summary judgment which was successful, why would you be entitled to summary judgment in view of the disputed facts that they claim now. >> because you're honored t

higher wages, more jobs, higher standard of living. and if we are really, truly serious about creating more jobs, we need to help our out small businesses in a big way. that's where most of the jobs come from. that's why we're proposing a new lower tax rate structure for all small businesses. this is the kind of bold reform that will revive main streets across the country. something that we so desperately need. look, working together. house, senate, the president. whether he see this thing through. because this is a choice at hand. more decline and stagnation, or the renewal of the american idea. protect powerful interests or empower the people who work hard and play by the rules. in the end it will not be me who decides what we do. by now i think you get the sense of what i believe and where i stand on tax reform. no. it will be this movement which decides which direction we take. it will be all of us in the conservative movement which decides which direction we go. and if we pull together, if we reject the usual tired cynicism, we wi
