as i mentioned, we operate in every state represented here today and all 50 states of the united states with substantial investment and employment. the issue that the united states has today it seems to me is not nearly as complicated as a lot of people want to make it. the creation of wealth is a feature over the last 200 years of invention and innovation, entrepreneurship, engineering, cheap energy, growing markets. and those ingredients are what happens created the most prosperous society in the history of the world. a government can help in terms of having safety and security of the rule of law, infrastructure, education, but at the end of the day, the wealth that all of us benefit from today over the past two centuries were created by the private sector. and if you go down that list of activities that have created our national wealth and grade what government has done over the past 30 or 40 years, i think you would have to say that in every one of those areas, we have almost optimally constrained our ability to grow. ... >> i will give this to governor barbour, and maybe he can pas

our state around. but are for most issue is certainly to close the deficit in a long-lasting way, and making sure that we are producing is that are graduating. right now 60% of our kids when they get out of high school go on to college, and they need remedial studies. that is unacceptable pre 40% of our kids do not graduate at all from high school. we are determined to produce results and make sure that the fate of the republican party is the fate of those who deliver results, that those who elected them and earn the respect in the future of those who did not elect them this time, but will do so in the years to come. thank you.

state universities are only state universities in name only.nfrastructure, again, the feds are talking about an infrastructure bank. that may be a source of economic growth and both short-term and long-term. again, those are expensive. they are already borrowing to pay their bills and are not likely to borrow for infrastructure projects. what can they do? some states do it pretty good job of trying to attract foreign capital. it is a very untapped resource. we are so used to attracting domestic capital. it is the corollary of the president's initiative on exports, which is how do you get foreign companies to grow here? the money, a lot of the money that the department of energy put out for wind turbines and other types of green manufacturing actually attracted foreign companies to locate in an states instead of their facilities. the whole southern auto strategy is about attracting foreign auto companies. you heard about south carolina attracting a big bmw plant. that is a relatively untapped resource. i think it is interesting that bmw put this

the and that is the united states of iz america versus state of arizona. and we allotted 30 minutes per side. the appellant -- at the appellant wishes to stay somejut time for rebuttal, that's perfectly time. down. with that, a reminder, we're ready to begin. does the state of arizona -- >> good morning. i'm john bouma. i represent the state of arizona and governor january brewer who is with us in court today. i'd like to try to reserve five minutes for rebuttal. >> that's fine. >> your honor, arizona is trying to deal with the problems that arise from a federal immigration system that even president obama acknowledges is broken. arizona is a border state, and it's on the very front lines and there's serious crimes that are involved in the drug trafficking, the human trafficking, human smuggling, and the other activities, the coyotes who thrive because once an illegal alien is in the united states, the chances of removal are so low that basically crossing the border is same as crossing the finish line. with a federal government that's been unable or unwill

the purple states have a 50/50 state. this is when you're the party benefiting us to witness with elections. we feel alright we can hold onto some of those purple states and again as we talked before, all ofthem to some modest gains. i think it was probably too much to ask. i think were going to start making inroads and was traditionally diffilt territory. >> states like georgia and texas, you know, these are competitive states. i mean, we think about them now. they're southern state, republican states. texas is going to be a minority, maturity state within the next few yars. and no, i think that's probably one of the reasons why dga took a serious look in the battle of texas. georgia is a competitive state. and likely would be in good campaigns and have good candidates. but you can't take a think the same thing on both sides. we came within, heck, if you look at new england, you know, you are chewing connecticut and new hampshire and vermont with the three states who came within 20, 30,000 votes of winning all three of t

the state to ensure the viability and progress of the palestinian minority in that state. can you elaborate on your rationale or feelings? netanyahu indicated that if you recognize us as a jewish state for purposes of ending -- and so forth. if you can expand what you have against what is agreed upon by the majority of observers, nation states, that is where critical to a xenophobic power such as israel. what happens when they withdraw from areas of conflict. >> israel was going from areas. i went to mr. shah roan's office in 2005. -- i went to mr. sharon's office. i said, don't do it unilateralism. unilateralism doesn't pay. you need to withdraw them. only agreements will pay. like with a drawl -- like with a drawal. -- like withdrawal. i have a choice. so far, you were able to have the bks for the first-third grade. we began changing our textbooks and we managed to have the palestinian textbooks. as far as the jewish state is concerned -- when israel was declared independent, and since the government has been informed and the jewish state has been proclaimed in palestine

it by the state's" are reserved to the states or to the people. in my view, the federal government for help shameless -- the government's shameless disregard of the 10 commandments census down that slope, the precept of the bill of rights. the compromise. the essence of our republic can be lost forever, along with those god-given freedoms. the words of the 10th amendment are timeless. the also are a rallying cry for such a time as this. reminding citizens of their rights, reminding officials of their responsibilities -- that includes officials who wrote that wave of dissatisfaction into state houses across the nation. i believe some 19 legislators -- legislatures switched to republican control that night. including north carolina and alabama, which will be experiencing republican leadership for the first time since the 1870's's. that is a long time to wait. that is a long time to wait. but we must ensure that it is worth the wait. at the state level, my federal governors and i need to work with legislators to prove the wisdom of our founding fathe

that would gop held blue states -- five or six states that were gop held or blue states. if connecticut works out what we think of them, democrats swept all six. it is not that it was a total anti-incumbent wave everywhere but i think there was an undertone, to use the same metaphor. host: do you agree from as " a from minnesota republican party chairman. local products -- local politics was not local these -- this year. guest: in a sense it is hard to parse the wording in that, is the state of the economy a local or national issue. you could argue with both but the gop did it a good job of seizing on the frustration with the obama and the democratic congress, their policies, and virtually everywhere did better than they did certainly in 2008. host: -- guest: good question. i had them either tossup or lead republicans. i definitely had them in play. i see this as a case of a southern state where the democrats have historically been in power going back decades and decades, but slowly losing ground to the gop first in federal races, in the presidential race, senate races, h

>> in that circumstance, the state is regulating its own state law enforcement. if the state wants to say -- >> not necessarily. if the national center has outstanding warrants from the state of california, that is not an arizona crime. >> that's the information the officer might find from the ncic, but in terms of pursuing the ncic the difference is the state singled out immigration saying pursue immigration in the way you don't pursue any other state responsibility. >> there's no interest in seeing the illegal aliens should be removed? >> the state certainly has an interest in that, but it's important to focus on the fact that the incutter between the local law enforcement officer may be on the street or in the school with a student who's been in a fight and the officer may have some suspicion that the student in school might be unlawfully present. all the sudden this law requires that that i accident be pursued. the state cannot remove or prosecute the person. it is an intake for ultimate federal enforcement of the law. >> but the state can deliver an illegal

how about the united states? i'm interested in a number comparison with 50. >> the u.s., having a longer history in space and a much larger budget, has probably put up something i think on the order of 500 satellites. >> who are -- are those satellites that china has in space, are they civilian or military or dual use? >> they're very much dual use. china's space program at this point is mostly oriented spacect recently, very recently. >> uh-huh. >> will you describe the spacecraft? accelerated from >> the manned capsule is probably capable to our gemini series. it's the second manned launch. it's longer, wider and heavier than the soyuz and it's in fact quite a bit more capable than the soyuz. >> is it as big as a standard public bus? >> it is about 25 feet long. so i have to admit, i'm not sure how long a bus is. >> what about the interior of the vessel? >> it's quite cramped. and some of the video we've seen so far put out by the chinese suggest that much accelerated from w module is crd indeed. last night the

i'm not sure that the united states is so weak i think the united states or the administration is footing it says in a weak position we're really facing now follows nothing else but the fos i read the column written by you done kids who use the word bribery. it is really so ridiculous when you watch what's going on the content peter but as you said who is here the superpower and who is the other one is well today is as isolated in the world as never before is the pending on the united states as never before not only military but above all politically is what has me crazy or tweets about this unfortunately is not enough and needs also the united states and this could have been used really to prove molds a set of events to push to get out of the occupied territories this would have been done by a devoted administration american administration unfortunately barack obama is falling to any trip that i was putting in front of him two years we'll wasted go read the full nothing and i don't see any perspective for the future fortunately so alan dershowitz we discerned a very interesting point her

we also have our state reserve.seems like we have our state reserve that is here to respond to the cuts in services or cuts in funding, and how that impacts services. this one seems like a key service, especially for very low income families who are struggling with education and in the work place with the child care. eliminating child care would eliminate them moving forward. what is the city looking at to address this issue so there is no impact on parents who are trying to make a go with their lives? >> supervisor, kate howard, mayor's office. i think you raised some important points. as you may have heard, the legislature is working on and has said they are committed to restoring this funding. this was lined out by the governor out of his budget, a line item vetoed. in san francisco, it is a $13 million loss. over 1,200 kids are affected by the cut. the legislature is working on negotiating a deal with the state first five commission, who have state and local first dollars for kids. in san francisco, that is abou

that means more state power. that means more state regulatory authority. if that's your federalism model, then by all means, go ahead. or is your model the federal aviation act, which liberated the airline on the regulated the airline industry by adequately preempting any and all state law relating to the services, routes, and so forth of air carriers. the lesson is this, if you manage to do anything at all for smaller government in washington, d.c., that doesn't mean the pro-regulatory constituents are get. they were just migrate to the state that if you want to make smaller government state, you must preempt the states and you must preempt that maneuver. to repeat, decentralization does not mean smaller government. i want to construct a second sign, and it should say when it comes to federalism, this into the states and then do the opposite of what they say. .. >> and that is we should be begin drafting and introduce a bankruptcy code for states right now. to my mind, that's the only federalism problem that will really matter over the coming years becaus

it's not it's not up to the united states. since nine hundred forty five we have what is called a global financial architecture based on the britain woods institution those institutions back to the u.s. dollar the u.s. dollar was supposed to be backed up by convertible currency and know that it was dead in the one nine hundred seventy is that gave rise to the g. eight the death of the brits would compromise and the nixon devaluation no the two thousand and eight crisis is leading to the g twenty we should not be looking at the g twenty let's look at what will happen to the u.s. dollar is the u.s. banking system solvent can the u.s. restructure and reenergize its economy and if we look at china let's look at what chinese doing in relationship to what is called currency swaps currencies swaps with russia with turkey with african countries with brazil we're looking to the diminishing of the dollar so when the g eight weeks whether it's consensus are not the i.m.f. and the dollar is yesterday's news there will be a compromise of o

will the governor's plan to sell off state-owned buildings help fix the state's budget woes or create long-term losses? and a conversation with oakland mayor-elect jean quan about what's next for oakland. mayor-elect jean quan about what's next for oakland. coming up next. captioning by vitac, underwritten by fireman's fund ♪ >> belva: good evening, and welcome to "this week in northern california." i'm belva davis. and joining me tonight on our news panel are josh richman, political and legal affairs reporter with the "oakland tribune." scott shafer, host of "the california report" on kqed public radio. and lisa krieger, higher education writer for the "san jose mercury news." lisa, is raising tuition the only option for the regents? is that why this is happening? >> financing higher education is shockingly simple. you either get the money from the state or you get it from the students. it's not coming from the state, they're hitting up the students. now, the other side of the balance sheet, of course, is expenses. and they're saying -- this week's crisis, unlike every crisis in prev

twenty as the united states tries to. eat. economy it's good to basically hurt other conny economies in the world we know that the former or the still sitting president of brazil he's going to seoul and he said we're going to battle it out here i mean why should after all the hard work the brazilians have gone through and other developing countries have to bail out the united states again ok i mean can the g. twenty handle this i mean because i'm very dismissive of these organizations because i look at them as talk shops but we're at a at a critical vortex right now in the world economy can that g twenty come through can it can it can it show its worth. the g. twenty was acted with a fair amount of unity back and the early summits when they became a summit. after the economic crisis in two thousand and eight broke they were able to do some changes but both the g twenty and the g eight are operating in a consensus there is no enforcement the g eight has over the years pledged many many programs that have never come through the

and so the state of vietnam for instance which is a communist state wants the u.s. fleet to be in its waters to basically protect it against china and therefore the americans can't do everything so therefore they will see europe if you like as a staging post as a place to gather intelligence as a place of people who can advise and so on but not many troops will be stationed in europe because you don't need them you love people in europe but gradually they will come around to the view that india is their friend and india would like to see china contained so therefore south east south asia and south east asian east asia those are the areas of the future if you look ten years ahead. europe will perhaps be of minor importance but again as a staging post as a place we gather intelligence but no longer of great military significance or strategic importance to the united states ok eager pretty much know where you stand on things does nato need russia more than russia needs nato because we see a reproach monk going on right now it a lot of it has to do with afghanistan anti

while there is concern in the united states or interest in the united states, because india wants to purchase $45 billion of arms purchases, yes, it is of commercial and economic interest, but i remember in my time, pakistan -- there was the question of the european union and united states for a free trade agreement or preferential trade agreement on additional market access. i believe in trade not aid. it means opening of factors, job creation, poverty elimination, unemployment reduction. unfortunate, it was not given. lastly, ladies and gentlemen, i talk of the political scene and pakistan. here in united states, all said, pakistan's strategic significance. therefore, we are to be concerned what is happening in pakistan and what the future holds for pakistan. we must ensure that pakistan's integrity, its solidarity, is stability is maintained, because we have to fight terrorism and extremism and defeats it. and if we want to do that, we look at the political realities in pakistan. today, pakistan is on a downward turn. its economy, its government, political turmoil, and of course,

the state of colorado, the state of florida, georgia, illinois, the state of iowa, the state of mississippi, the ste of missouri, the states of nevada, oklahoma, texas, west virginia, are among the many that did not get a chance to help the desperate. and so i'd like to particularly thank today, in addition to the members of the texas tell gation, majority leader hoyer, who continued to work with us and to ensure that we can move this as quickly as possible. his staff, terry and austin, who also worked closely with my staff to bring this to the floor along with my colleagues. the house is a family -- the families stoppereceiving funds in 2010 because of the deadline for these funds. we made and i made concerted efforts with the departments of health and human services and i'd like to introduce into the record a letter written by my office on september 21, 2010. i ask unanimous consent to introduce it into the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: i'd also like to introduce into the record a letter written from the secretary of health and human services, octobe

united states. >> they don't have the high -- they have the highest debt. >> well the deficit adds to the debt and the deficit is rapidly rising to 100%. >> you know that. you're overstating. you're overstating. >> let me take the imf numbers. 68, 64, 66 -- that is taking into act the measures of the budget with our consolidation, so, in other words, i think, you know, you have to accept that it's going to approach 100 percent national debt as many economic studies show and getting ourselves into very, very dangerous places. we are taking the steps -- >> currently we are today the lowest of those six in terms of national debt. >> well, i didn't -- >> you're overstating the imf here. you don't want to compare national debt which is actually the political factor in this. let me ask you the consequences if you overstate the case with your budget. your officials said that there will be families who will have to lose their homes and move. how many children as a result of what you're doing will have to lo

ohio secretary of state, and colorado secretary of state. thanks to both of you for being on c-span's "newsmakers" today. >> thank you. >> we appreciate it. >> let me turn to our two guests in studio in washington. jessica of politico. reed of hot line, also knee deep with all your staff in this year's election. we heard two confident secretaries of state, but what they also seem to be pretty confident of is that there are going to be court challenges going forward? is this the way of the world for elections in the united states from where our society is is? >> i think minnesota gave us a new standard, and both parties have been preparing definitely for this. we've seen fund raising appeals come out from both sides saying we have to be ready to go on november 3rd. and it's almost inevitably going to be either the house race, several senate races so dedloked in the polls. so it's not going to surprise journalists. but i think what you did see from both of them is that people want to minimize the time and the length. they don't want the electi

these are state department cables. there are apparently some references to intelligence and military operations. but as we know, policy is made in the white house by the president on these issues. there's no evidence i've seen so far -- now that may change -- that have president obama saw these documents, that they somehow figured in his decision-making. what the documents are, part of the building blocks of making the policy that eventually comes out of the white house, the state department or the pentagon. it's not as if we are peering in and have secret tape recordings of what's going on in the white house. >> larry: but what secretary clinton informs him might be based on information she's received from those cables, correct? >> yes. >> larry: so it could affect decisions. >> they are building blocks. they could affect decisions, but this is not -- we are not seeing some unvarnished examination of how big decisions are made. that is just not so. yet. >> larry: does this overall trouble you? >> you know, i think it

of a failed state this is not a provocation but warns of. a fortunate that machete first step is already assured us a quick victory speech so they have no idea about the hardships the you face. one it is this is it is all of them too nice and for any army the life level you say for them is the most precious thing in the world. is of self-sacrifice and heroism with those who understand it fully but you have to live us from real life stories from world war two. victories nineteen forty five dot atiq dot com. if you just joined us this is the. russian capital we're here twenty four hours a day the top stories now this hour russian business with vic to boot to wait sentencing for trafficking in a new prison after his extradition from thailand which moscow says was illegal. clinton as urge the senate to ratify a nuclear deal with russia republicans have dealt a blow to the a bomb of ministration stalling its progress. and its forty years since the soviet union's first remote controlled robot known as the tank landed on the surface of the moon the

we're talking -- it varies from state to state. states run their medicaid programs. they do it differently in every state. kids are covered. the lower-income kids. when it comes to adults, many parents are covered. if you're an adult and you don't have kids, it is difficult and you have to be a very poor to be without kids and i get any kind of coverage. host: we have some statistics. approximately 53 million individuals in this country will be covered by medicaid this year. the federal outlay for medicaid is estimated as $290 billion. guest: people don't realize that medicaid is right there with medicare. we think of medicare as being a huge program. medicaid covers a lot of people. host: what has happened to the role of those covered since the financial crisis? guest: it has put a huge burden on the states. and the financial commitment from the federal government has also increased. as we have hit this recession, or people have become unemployed, that leads to more people becoming eligible for medicaid. the medicaid rolls have grown with the recession. lag thee ten

i live in the state of idaho and work in the state of washington. the difference between the two states is incredible. there are a lot of things that are not available in idaho that are available in washington state. va benefits -- will that be considered as credible insurance? also, federally funded clinics through the federal government's -- are those going to be available to more people? there is one where i live in idaho, and those clinics serving the less fortunate people who do not have insurance, but they are so crowded it is hard to get in. guest: with respect to coverage, somebody who has that probably should continue it. that is not going to change. her last question related to these community health centers. these health centers do really important work, and one of the things in the legislation that is already going into the fact is substantial amounts of additional money have not been provided to community health centers. this will allow those community health centers to serve more people, and in addition to that, it will allow more cent

this is a state that has traditionally been a fairly libertarian-leaning state. and the movement i think in part has picked up on that. you know, how well that jibes with some of the social conservative strains in the tea party movement i think we'll be watching going forward. the mays-tancredo decision-- we've talkd to groups. this has split a lot of tea party groups. we put dan mays up for candidate. he's not perfect. the whole idea is to get somebody from the grass roots who is really outside this process and maybe bruised by it. there are other people in the party saying tom tancredo, you know, he embodied a lot of our values. very, very conservative, anti-ill... ant i illegal immigration. let's go for the guy who is more electable. you're getting some real divisions there. whether the tea party remains a political force in colorado going forward is going to have a lot to do with how they mend those splits no matter what happens tonight. >> woodruff: some interesting divisions there. we've been hearing, you know, national republican leaders talk about how the

it's a swing state. and as a result a 5-point swing has huge political consequences in a state like that. >> ifill: jennifer look rooks let's talk about the independent voters in maine. you have a non-affiliated line that most people are members of rather than either party. >> that's right. maine for a long time has had more unenrolled voters or independent voters than in either political party. 37% of the voters in maine are unenrolled. so earlier today i spoke with the chairman of the republican party in maine. i said do you attribute your success to the swing voters. he said, no, we went to the democrats. we had a mission to show the people of maine that the republican party is the party of the working class. we didn't care if they were an independent or a crepe republican or a democrat. we were targeting thes people in rural areas that make $30,000 to $40,000 a year and are angry. >> ifill: when your legislators take their seats and when the governor gets sworn in, what are the big issues that will b

in the state of texas. we think we can cut that substantially, help our colleagues in washington, d.c. balance the budget up there and substantially help with us our budgetary issues here if they will just trust the states to do what the states that are bound into others actually was letting the states being the laboratories of innovation. >> chris: would you do the same with social security? end social security as a federal program? >> let us work on medicaid and while we are doing that they can have the discussion on how to our social security program on better and more solid footing. >> when you say a ponzi scheme, the fact is it is just a demographic fact, when social security started in the 1930s and i forget the exact numbers but there was 7 or 8 workers for every one retiree. happens now because of the baby boom there are more retirees and fewer workers out there. not a ponzi scheme in the sense of bernie mad off. >> probably even would make mr. ponsi feel bad if he was still alive. it is a ponzi sch

in the 26 states for which we have data, majorities in seven states supported repeal.finally, getting back to the president, just 45% approved of the job he was doing and 54% disapproved and perhaps more worrying for the obama administration, for the white house, 43% said that in the long-run obama's policies would policies would help the country but 52% said that they would herded. now i will turn to my colleague john fortier to talk about house and senate contests in the shape of the electorate. >> thank you carlin. we are going to have a presentation here. i'm going to make for large points. first to try to assess the size of republican gains, the size of the wave in a number of different ways, the simple answer is it is a very big wave but the second is that it is actually lasted over many conservative district, many swing districts but it essentially stopped at the mob at democratic districts. there are no in the house, they are in a very democratic districts are even moderately democratic districts held by republicans. only a few that are slightly democratic. and

in fact, it was not a single state university in pennsylvania, which there are more than 17 -- penn state has many campuses -- but there's also a pennsylvania state system which has 15, i believe, universities. not a single one of them, not one, guarantees students have their rights of academic freedom to hear two sides to a question. there are a wonderful academic freedom provisions, particularly at penn state, or there were at a time, which said in so many words students -- said a teacher is obligated not to indoctrinate their students, but to give them the materials that will allow them to think for themselves. but it was in the employee handbook. students are not employees. this is for professor. pennsylvania state system with the 17 schools had as part of the union contract to students are not members of the teacher unions, so students didn't have it. the demonstrators came and with a straight face said we have all these protections in place, and there are no complaints. at penn state this and we only have 13 complaints. immediately the democratic legislators jumped on gibson armstro

is a united states citizen. >> that he is. do you have any other case where a court has confered citizenship on someone who, under the statutes as written, does not have it? >> that was one of the issues debated in the wynne and miller cases, and the court has not said that yet. >> you haven't done it. >> that is correct. but it can in this case for a number of reasons. number one is the fact that the severability clause is applicable to this claim. they applied it to the same statutory scream. you cannot get naturalization under those circumstances other than that what is set out in this statute. so there is a negative implication that they were not precluding this type of remedy as to a citizenship claim where they were claiming an equal protection violation. the second point is that if the court is unable to grant that remedy, that would leave an equal protection violation in place. as the justice made clear in welch -- >> united states we -- unless we solve the violation the other way by saying that the father gets the sho

what are the states? massachusetts, florida, california... >> stahl: massachusetts-- income tax. go ahead. california-- income tax. >> mistele: texas, florida, michigan, colorado. >> stahl: okay, four out of the six have income taxes. i mean, i've heard a lot of businessmen say what you're saying, and i keep wondering, "well, where are they going to move if they leave?" >> mistele: well, each state has its own competitive advantages. so by adding this additional burden, it makes us much less attractive. >> stahl: adam stites is another entrepreneur who opposes the initiative. five years ago, he moved his company, istores, from portland, oregon, across the columbia river to vancouver, washington, just nine miles away. >> adam stites: it broke down to taxes. there... oregon has the highest income tax in the united states, and washington has the lowest at 0%. >> stahl: istores is the largest online retailer of paint ball equipment. stites has been hiring staff for a new company he acquired that sells prank n

it occurred in 13 states and some states had more than one convention. there were maybe 1000 different delegates and it happened -- well, the core of it that i talk about with most intensity was roughly a year as well say a little later. but if you wait till the last of the original 13 joining the union, that is rhode island, it's two and a half years. one other consideration here, which i think is anything but insignificant that the records of the federal convention were published in a professional form in 1911, edited by max brand. the first two delegates, volumes and therefore altogether, actually five published in 1987 by the first two volumes are on the debates in the federal contention. in the koran davis pulled together the official journal, which actually is not very good. william jackson did so carelessly and i come to think of them as rather scoundrel. max's nose, which are magnificent. and i correlated them with notes taken much more partial notes by other members of the opposition often for their own records. they didn't have the same mission

state. there's nothing necessarily wrong with that approach or that goal but the problem was he was led to believe that this was what the saudis wanted it if he did those things they would go along with his policy objective in the middle east. so what happened on the way to cairo? do you know where he stopped? no. you don't know because nobody wanted to report about it. it was kept largely secret until many months later that he stopped in saudi arabia. he went to the king and he said ok, i have been making an issue of the israeli settlements, making the palestinian-israeli peace issue a high priority and pushing hard for a palestinian state. now i want you to help me and one of the things i want you to do is make certain gestures to israel to show the israelis that if they make peace with the palestinians that at the end of the day there will be some normalization in relations with the rest of the arab world. and king abdallah said jump in the lake. and for months after words, similar things

states run elections. because somebody wants it to go to federal court is not good under the rule of law. you have to stick with the system of the law. law for elections means you go through a state jurisdiction. unless you can prove a validated violation of the federal, and i think i explained how we disagree. it goes into the state courts. so we're consistent in that and we think we'll win. >> gregg: in the election controversy in 2000 in pensacola, there were simultaneous wiggle action, one in federal court and one in state court. couldn't there, at the very least be concurrent jurisdiction s? >> gregg, i won't argue with what the miller campaign wants to do as far as where they file their cases. the state position is we handle the elections. >> gregg: by the way, a lot of people may not know, you served for a great many years in our military. you were promoted to lieutenant three star general with a state national guard, you retain your two star general rank. we want to thank you so much for your fine

the united states of america is still the united states of america.themselves. many of the year and thousands of others have worked so hard. i will make one pledge to you tonight. as i can now safely say, i will have the opportunity to serve. i will work every day so that for all people, you are encouraged to put me in the senate and they will come up to for the next six years and say, "the key for that advice." thank you for sending a guide to washington that will fight for us. thank you for sending a guide to washington who says the same thing to everyone all the time, no matter where he is. this has been a campaign about the issues. i have said for months that any politician who thinks if this year is about anything other than the issues will get a message on election day. i think that message was said to loud and clear. i am honored to get the chance to work for you. thank you for all that you have done. thank you.

these programs operate in all 50 states, in 37 states, including my home state of illinois, they are mandatory. ioltas contain client funds held by a lawyer for a short period of time. interest generated from these accounts is paid to charitable organizations, not the lawyer or the client. in 1978 florida was the first state to establish an iolta program. illinois became the 11th state to establish ioltas and in 1983 the supreme court of illinois required interest from these accounts to be collected and administered by the lawyers' trust fund, a nonfor profit cooperation created in 1991 by the illinois bar association and the chicago bar association. since then these funds have supported civil legal assistance to the impoverished in illinois. when state legislators and state supreme courts created iolta, the fdic carved out an exception to regulation d that allowed payment of interest on these demand accounts. the current term asset guarantee program or tag program, under which the fdic guarantees the total amount of client funds maintained in ioltas, expires december 31, 2010. the d

seats in state senates, and 543 seats in the state houses. there is still some accounting to do. while we recently had an election on sunday in brazil and they counted the votes in five hours reaching california takes five weeks. there is something wrong with this picture, but they have not got the final tally. they have one more state legislative seats than any election since 1928. they won more than the local political experts have predicted. republicans need five seats. they won 15. they needed for seats in the house and got 13 in ohio. they needed 13 and ended up getting 20. they needed 12 in the minnesota senate, 21 in the house and got 16 and 5, and i understand republicans have never had a majority and the minnesota senate -- in the minnesota senate prior to this. the republicans gained 22 seats in the main house and 122 in new hampshire. new hampshire has the nation's largest state legislature. this will have important consequences in politics and could have important consequences in public policy. this means the republicans will have
