the defense was extremely creative in their defense. the things they chose to do was to use the most frightening photos of trayvon martin they could find to trigger the bias of jurors as a way of trying to scoot the outcome. >> and in pretrial motions, a victory for george zimmerman. the judge actually discourages attorneys from using the term racial profiling. >> that the term racial profiling alone is a close call and probably should not be used. >> legally was this about race? >> well, the way that the court's rulings came out, no. if you just stick to the four corners of the law, there was no mention of race whatsoever. that's why it was always done by innuendo and it was always done very subtly by both sides. >> there is nothing subtle, however, about the jury. the challenge is to find six people who had not formed hard opinions after months of relentless media coverage. but when jury selection was over, no one predicted the jury would look like this. no men. no african-americans. all women. five are white. one is hispanic. >> the

you are on the defense policy board. what is that -- elliot cohen, by the way, on this network a couple days ago said it doesn't amount to much. >> guest: well, it is basically a group of people who come together quarterly with the secretary of defense for about an hour, an hour and a half, at the end of two days of deliberations. and in the course of the two days, they -- they receive briefings and discuss among themselves the important issues facing the secretary of defense and then they offer him advice. there are very clear rules about what we do and what we do not advise on. and we do not advise, as individuals, because the group makes no collective findings. and it doesn't make policy. but we do not comment on any issue in which we have a financial interest. that's a rule that is common sense. it is the basic conflict of interest rule. i have abided by that very scrupulously. and -- and that is what the inspector general of the defense department found. now, the accusations were widely published. the exoneration, i'

and, in fact, i wrote to the secretary of defense about this program. i've written numerous letters. and i have met with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. well, did that stop these purchases? no. the half a billion dollar contract recently signed, recently completed, now under way by the united states army for more russian helicopters used previously appropriated funds to ignore the will of congress. clearly, the spirit and intent of the national defense authorization act was to end these purchases, and the united states department of defense in effect has defied the will of congress. so here we are today almost a billion dollars out the door, and the near certainty that these helicopters are going to be used to smuggle drugs -- thearktthat's right, smuggle drn afghanistan. the contract has been completed. we can be sure, just as they failed to maintain those helicopters in the past, they will fail again in the future, because the afghan national security forces doesn't have the people trained to maintain the helicopters. in fact, right now it d

the defense really did what the defense is supposed to do, not give up big plays. play good red zone defense. get take aways. and the special teams were fantastic. so this was a great overall win for the cowboys. >> next sunday night peyton manning returns to indianapolis. by his standards he struggled at times today in jacksonville. a couple of touchdown passes and a couple of fumbles. did the colts learn anything at all from the game today that the broncos played against the jaguars that they can use next week? >> i think they did. you have to be able to get pressure on peyton manning without blisting. jacksonville did that today. they got pass rush from the front four. i think the colts will see the same type of thing. some of the rushers can create this rush. and that is the way to slow this denver offense down. >> all right, tony. thanks. the broncos go to 6-0. two unbeatens left. broncos and chiefs. they'll play twice before the season is over. we turn to mike florio of pro football talk. what is one of the big stories you'll be covering this week? >> the mise

nick is one of the leaders on defense, helping that team put pressure on the quarterback, stuffing the run, very difficult defense to run against. they are playing much better under jason tarver. 12 different people have recorded a sack now for the raiders this year. and that's jason tarver at his best. >> we're going to activate jason tarver this week ourselves, on the silver and black a little later. as the raider defensive coordinator, also has a bum knee, having surgery during the bye week. the football team ravaged by injuries, our third headline this week. raiders welcome the bye. every team says it. the bye is coming at the right time. for this football team, jim, especially in the offensive line, they have been decimated by injury. they need a week off. >> yeah, they certainly do. hopefully get some of those offensive linemen can heal, get back on the field, practice all week long and prepare for the upcoming game. sometimes when you're nicked and bruised and beat up, you don't get to practice all week long, so you don't get to see all the defenses that the other team can throw

judge for the defense. i loved "to kill a mockingbird," the book, and the movie, i think, even exceeded it. i thought atticus finch was a hero for kind of defending the underdog in this world where everybody was against him. that has changed the pendulum swing that's taken place over the last 30 years, has switched to the point where the defense lawyer's now thought of as kind of a scumbag. in fact, that was going to be the original title for the book, was, "die, scumbag lawyer, die." pat can tell the story as to where that came from. but that kind of demonization of the defense, i think has had a horrible effect on the system itself. barry: well, you know, you mentioned the media. i want to take this on two approaches, because you guys do it in the book as well. it's the politization of it, and the media's role that has helped cause a large part of the politization of it. part of it, as you just said, was we used to think, you know, that the defense deserves-- what was the line, we'd rather let ten innocen

d is a waiting passage of the defense authorization act. it is supported by both houses but we cannot move forward without that authorization. to have as, you need bill that provides for the 2-d multiyear. , when we put together a multitier construct through the to date. aircraft, that bought the requirement for substantial savings that goes with the verification. when you look at the impact of sequestration, in the first year of a multiyear were you at risk of losing one of the first five aircraft. then the potential over the five years of can and you'd see a station. now you have this destabilizing isact program plan that trying to bring stability and the affordability that comes with that. hold onto trying to is the stability that the foriyear provides, not just the affordability gives us but also for the industrial base. we are trying to do that in the face of the storm called sequestration. industry asng with we negotiate this multiyear wait upon congress to pass it but the authorization. , we haveave to do is to do this in such a fashi

as we talk about our defense needs and to provide for the common defense as ambassador just mentioned, i think that we have got to figure out one comment how to do a budget in washington that we can manage all of the pillars of defense of entitlement and revenues and not make it political every time we have this debate, but also fundamentally look at our own economy to build the next generation. just as we need volunteers to serve in the armed forces, we need young people i can go into the high-tech sector your or into the medical or pharmaceutical or transportation sectors. were college students are graduating with a huge burden of debt that previous generations have not had. we have got to figure out how to get the economy generating jobs for our young americans who have great skills. leaders will have to work together. there was a deal done. president reagan in his social security bill with tip o'neill. both sides had to give. he seemed to have lost that capability in that era -- we have seen to lost that capability in this era. we have to find the area in the middle that we can al

this is good for the defense. when i testified down in florida, there was a lawyer that was on the scott commission. is good for the defendants. >> you're saying the criminal defense lawyers were arguing that stand your ground lawyers were good for criminal offense. >> that the role of the criminal defense attorney is to get their time off. i would have of the criminal defendants and defense lawyers, this is a good law. look at the ambiguities that are here. at the specific examples. you talked about here is a drug user in an open air market. at the time of the killing he was not selling. he had been selling and have been doing unlawful activity, but he was just in a legal place he had a right to be, so he had a right to defend itself. somewhat isiece is a convicted felon, they have no rights to possess a firearm, yet they can stand your ground and use florida decisions to use that firearm and the free and not be held accountable. the stories are unbelievable. january, two thousand 12, another florida case. -- vict

and the chiefs defense right on cue. ame with the most sacks, fewest points allowed in the nfl. holly again. 3 1/2 sacks on the day. eric berry also sharing in the sack exchange here. he gets pryor for an 11 yard loss. pryor when he did have time to throw, marcus cooper, the rookie out of rutgers filling in for brandon flowers. 17-7 kansas city. hussein abnula stepped in. and i'm sure the crowd is very, very enthusiastic and they are. kansas city broke the guinness world record for loudest open air stadium, 137.5 decibles. kansas city allowed 65 points this season. that is the best in the nfl. after the game, it was time for andy reid to -- exhale. >> bob sutton and the defensive staff, they had a great game plan against an up and coming quarterback. he took off and ran. there were a few time i was holding my breath. i was shoelding my breath when he took off. so we were able to keep him boxed up for the most part. when he goes and when he takes off and runs, he can take off and run. >> packers winless on the road if balt

the defense is struggling all night long. into the first period. that game is still ongoing. >>> the redskins have to try and stop this guy tomorrow. peyton manning and the broncos scored 33 points in a loss last week to the colts, and surely is angry and looking for dedemption. the defensive coordinator jim haslet knows it doesn't matter. >> peyton sees everything. you think you can disguise something on him. he recognizes every coverage. he understands what you're doing. he sees things, he's been in the league for such a long time, he sees everything. you're not going to go out there and think you're going to fool him. it's not going to happen. >> do you think the redskins can pull this off tomorrow? that's a tough one going to denver, especially them coming off of their first loss. they're going to be out for blood. and of course the iie

i take my hat off to the defense. t to second and third with no completions. 45 total yards passing. then he finds you for the 64-yard touchdown. maybe he didn't have to because the run game was going, but he seemed a little off tonight. >> sometimes it happens. you can't blame him. we all have nights where it is not all there. it was just the situation. it was a little rusty but he is colin kaepernick. he is the face of the nfl. he can run and he can throw. i am not really worried about colin kaepernick. i know each and every week he will come and give it all he got. >> we know your hamstring is almost all the way back. you caught the ball at 64 yards. you had a little extra gear there at the end and you had to wonder if it would accelerate. >> oh my gosh, i am about to pull my hamstring. >> that's who we are used to seeing. how does that feel to get back into the end zone? >> groovy, baby. >> it is amazing to go out there and help this team the way i was able to. the opportunities were there. but after the game i dec

innocent children, children, killed in the name of self-defense. win in neither instance was there evidence of aggressive or violent conduct i these victims, these young men who were shot down. professor sullivan, you've heard these arguments made. too much of the panel and a member hear about this notion that somehow african-americans should view this as a positive thing. on stand your ground. what would you respond? >> i would agree with your statement that senator durbin, it's not a positive thing or anyone where citizens of the united states are running around shooting each other, whether the perpetrator is african-american, whether this victim is african-american, it really doesn't matter. we do not live in the wild, wild west era any longer. private law enforcement has a deleterious effect on our country and we should leave it to trained police officials to engage in this sort of behavior. >> mr. labahn, your testimony, i read over last night and again this morning, and i was particularly moved by one section of it that i would like to repeat.

i take my hat off to the defense. b. >> he went to second and third with no completions. 45 total yards passing. then he finds you for the 64-yard touchdown. maybe he didn't have to because the run game was going, but he seemed a little off tonight. >> sometimes it happens. you can't blame him. we all have nights where it is not all there. it was just the situation. it was a little rusty but he is colin kaepernick. he is the face of the nfl. he can run and he can throw. i am not really worried about colin kaepernick. i know each and every week he will come and give it all he got. >> we know your hamstring is almost all the way back. you caught the ball at 64 yards. you had a little extra gear there at the end and you had to wonder if it would accelerate. >> oh my gosh, i am about to pull my hamstring. >> that's who we are used to seeing. how does that feel to get back into the end zone? >> groovy, baby. >> it is amazing to go out there and help this team the way i was able to. the opportunities were there. but after th

the hot summer of 1964? that's a verbatim question from defense, the senior defense of the county. the judge became so irate at this question that he called a recess. it became explosive. i call the chapter the dynamite trial, the dynamite trial because then he takes a recess, and one of the defendants even whispers to his pud discrimination that they call this a dynamite trial, we have dynamite for the judge and making comments like this about the judge in recess, back to the judge, a variety of things going on like this in the courtroom, the defendant's not treating it with respect or the reverence necessary. the person who said this was wayne reports, a ruckus man. he's the guy who you may have heard about. bill minor, the legendary mississippi journalist identified, often wayne roberts is identified as punching out the cameraman on the steps of the federal building, and when he realized the journalist had seen him punch the guy and would then become a witness against him and another trial, he began to send him threats and notes through other people saying, i'll get you for this

the defense team has asked for a bail to be set no more than $500,000. 're saying that he's not a danger to the community. what are the odds that he's coming out and never going back behind bars? first and foremost, the status of the bail, the application was made yesterday. how soon is it possible that he could be walking out of prison? >> judge bishop has said monday is the deadline for the admission of briefs on the question of whether or not he has the lawful authority to allow bail. they're arguing that there's no right to bail under these circumstances. but the right to bail in connecticut on appeal goes back to the latter part of the 18th century. there's been a conviction. al bee it, that judge bishop has ruled that that should be overturned. but once the state ask to appeal the conviction, it stays the proceeding. >> this is devastating news for a prosecutor who fought and worked hard to put this man away. having to deal with it all over again. they want to fight this decision to start with. they don't have to retry him. what are the odds that th

the shutdown forced the defense department to dismiss spend -- to suspend sports. the navy game went on as planned. >> game day in annapolis. excited more than usual. the bigs shutdown taking on the falcons in a game that almost did not happen. the game was in jeopardy after the department of defense suspended athletic competition because of the shutdown. >> they're going back and forth watching the news. watching what the decision would be. --the president's hour of the president and founder of warrior events. >> we need to get them out of the house and let them forget about that for a few hours. that changed thursday with the department of defense gave the ok after private organization donated money to pay for the air force academy team travel and expenses. it in they get to do normal weather instead of december. >> it is nice to be around people who are here for a common cause. they are here for us when we need them. >> it is nice to catch up with old friends. >> if this game was canceled it would have been a travesty. >> people are worried about their paychecks.

i'm happy that the department of defense could be here with us. and that you're willing to testify before us today. in a normal year, we would have probably been in conference or out of conference with a -- the ndaa, appropriations would have been already passed, we have been moving forward. this is not a normal year. not only with the shutdown and a -- the second set of sequestration, with the senate not bringing its bill yet to the floor of the senate, we are definitely in a very strange time. i appreciate you being here. we have passed our authorizing bill. we hope that we will get a senate version to conference in. it must be difficult for you all to try to figure out what programs move forward and what doesn't and what is placed on hold. in particular, it is a little striking that we would have a gao report that would say that the first point we have on the line, the data point on the line is telling us that for the department of defense -- not a lot happened for fiscal year 2013. for the first year of sequestration, not a lot -- we drastic or

this is good for the defense. when i testified that -- down in florida, this is good for the defendant -- >> you are saying the criminal defense lawyers were arguing that "stand your ground" were good for criminal defendants. >> that the role of the criminal defense attorney is to get their client off on the criminal action. the role of the prosecutors to seek justice. so on behalf of of the criminal defendants, this is a good law. look at the ambiguities that are here, look at the specific examples. you talk about -- here is a drug dealer. at the time of the killing, he was not selling. if he had been selling drugs, it would have been unlawful activity. but he was in a place he had the right to be, and he was not selling at that moment, therefore he had a bright to defend himself. the second piece -- as i mentioned in my testimony -- if someone is a convicted felon, t to possess righ a firearm. yet, they can go ahead under "stand your ground" and use that and not be be free held accountable. the stories are unbeli

the defense was not all that good. 30 in total. they have to get the defense going.on miller was supposed to give it a lift. he didn't do that. we think they'll get better, but the turnovers killeded them with -- killed them with minus two and peyton not protected. they don't have the receiver to get down the field, go vertical and break up the defence. they have problems now. they are awfully good because of peyton manning. they have to keep him out and get better on defense. >> the fast week in the nfl was brutal in terms of injuries, big names included. which team will feel the biggest impact. >> i think you have to go quarterback when you talk injuries. the biggest jake cutler, he is the quarterback and the bears played well with him at quarterback. josh is 13 and 20 as a starter, and the bears collapsed a couple of years ago. normally they can rely on the defence. but this puts the bears in a tough spot. they think mark tresman is better able to absorb the lose. it will be big for j cutler for him being out. he's a free agent. we'll see how valuable he is to the

suicide is still possible, the defense argued. least brett was ready to claim she had attempted suicide before. >> brett wanted to testify about the suicide attempts that vashti had made on herself. some while they were married, some before. judge said, well, show me the evidence of this. and we had looked and looked and looked and could not find -- >> high and low. couldn't find anything? >> couldn't fiend hospital records that far back. that shouldn't surprise anybody. because hospitals don't keep records anymore. >> even so, brett would not be allowed to make that claim in court. what about the post-it note found in vashti's purse, the one that listed funeral expenses. >> it could very well be that that is her figuring out what things cost and whether or not insurance is going to cover it. that's what i think it could be. >> who knows? >> who knows? nobody knows. prosecution doesn't know. i don't know. >> but it has some significance, you think? >> you certainly could portray it as being significant. you could also portray it as

the defense asked to have the cuffs removed and the judge agreed. he stands accused of gunning down his friend. the semipro-football player oden lloyd execution-style back in june. surveillance video from aaron hernandez' home apparently shows him carrying a gun just minutes after that shooting. but, his defense lawyer says prosecutors still do not have the evidence to prove their case beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. the new england patriots dropped the tight end shortly after his arrest. hernandez himself has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and five different weapons-related charges. let's get to our correspondent rick lesson that you who is outside the courthouse in fall river, massachusetts this afternoon. rick, i guess we were waiting to find out whether a gag order would be extended and they wouldn't be able to talk about what's happening inside that courthouse. what's the word? >> well, shepard, i don't think anyone expected to see aaron hernandez take the stand during this pre-trial conference today. but it happ

saying, the by title of the panel was, what kind of defense does the united states need? rad added, what kind of defense can we afford? let me make a couple of comments about both. three years ago served together, the congressionally created independent panel to review the department of defense's 2010 defense review. the panel we served on was made up of 20 members. it was bipartisan. it was cochaired by bill perry and steve hadley. articulated their set of thought the united states had done and continued to do. among those were defending the maintaining the freedom of the seas, freedom of transit in air, outer space, freedom to use cyberspace. powerining a balance of in europe and in asia through our alliances as rudy mentioned in his comments and dov did as well. and being able to provide international humanitarian aid when disaster strikes as we have done repeatedly. i would say those are still things that the united states needs to be able to do. it is something that we have done for the last 60 years. we have provided global public goods. events of thehe last month an

>> the defense stocks have been very strong this year, despite the fact of all the discussion about defensetocks have been strong. they have high dividend yields. one of the things that i think has become more apparent it takes multiple years for any defense cuts to really start to affect the contractors. it takes multiple years to build a ship. so we're still seeing top line come down for a lot of companies but still seeing very strong earnings growth. that is why stocks continued to do well. liz: what is interesting about your perspective i believe, you feel that the non-government defense, you like certain names not necessarily the obvious ones. what out there do you think is a real opportunity? >> within our coverage universe the companies with large defense components that we're recommending certainly boeing which is about a third defense. still has pretty strong commercial aerospace growth. we like raytheon which has a strong international presence and that is growing and general dynamics has a large business jet operation. a lot of their business and earnings are coming from non-u.s.

i'm certainly not going to suggest that there can't be cuts that could be made all across the defense department or the intelligence agencies. but certainly, after 9/11, when we had the world trade center collapse after having planes flown into them, the pentagon attack, the planes hijacked, 3000 people dead, the country ndeed,ed -- i demanded -- that we be better organize and pay more attention to protecting ourselves. this has caused headaches and expense. nobody likes to stand in line at airports. we wish that we didn't have to have tsa, that we didn't have to take off our shoes and belts. but we were attacked on 9/11 just the way we were attacked on pearl harbor. these are important functions that the government is performing. host: in the last minute or so, you talked about the impact of national security domestically. that about the impact to the u.s. -- what about the impact of the u.s.'s global partners? guest: it is a good question. it is probably twofold. one is probably surprise that the strongest country in the world is unable to govern itself in this way. other countries

the secretary of defense chuck hagelle should have said get it done. he's the one who's at the top of the food chain and broke the sacred trust with the families. the military families weren't pawns to be played with by this administration to make political points. that's what happened in this situation. chuck hagel needs to look in the mirror and say, did i do any job as secretary of defense and as the guardian of the trust with the military families and the american people, did i do my job? i would look him in the eye and say, sir, you did not do your job. you did not do what you were supposed to do as secretary of defense. the president of the united states could have fixed it nine days ago when they first found out about it. he used the military families as pawns. it's embarrassing and despicable to do this. now the military doesn't trust the civilian leadership. >> ken fisher of the fisher house steps in and says, i'm going to step in and help the families until congress and the white house and everybody can get their act together. you guys in the

anjali kamat mentioned on the first segment about jobs program for the defense industry. re is a jobs program in place for the foreign-policy establishment as they move out of their public positions onto the boards of these corporations. these are part-time positions, but they are very high positions. they have financial and -- financial and fiduciary responsibilities. this is something viewers at home should be notified of. and perhaps it should preclude their involvement in debates like this or perhaps they should not get the podium and platform they given for their views given the fact they have these conflict of interest that are quite serious. >> kevin, your report focuses largely on stephen hadley who served as national security visor to president george w. bush. during the debate on syria, he appeared on cnn, as some -- msnbc, fox news and bloomberg. none of the stations informed viewers that hadley currently serves as a director of the weapons manufacturer where evian that makes tomahawk cruise missiles. he also owns over 11,000 shares of raytheon stock in which tr

the defense set security policies required him to carry his duty weapon. the prosecution insists this case is about choices. he is charged with assault and reckless endangerment. gray is being treated for an intensive brain injury out of state. >> the sun made a comeback for the beginning of the week, now the clouds are back in place signifying a change coming in the atmosphere. currentes, the temperature. the dew point rising into the upper 50's. humidity at 75%. sun is looking out a little bit. temperatures are climbing into the upper 60's to low 70's. most of the showers have stayed to our west. for raine a chance tomorrow and we will talk about that in the seven-day. >> we are monitoring a water main break. we were over the scene this morning were public works officials say a 10 inch main broke. that is still shutdown leaving the national aquarium, power plant, and the columbus center without water. crews are urging water -- drivers to avoid the area. in this afternoon's commitments 2014 report, the war of wards heats up between the attorney general and

but they were getting it done and keeping the defense off the field.hen everything fell apart in the 14-point deficit, getting the attention of the broncos. the defense forced five redskin turnovers while the offense scored 38 unanswered points to win big, 45-21. of course the scare with robert griffin iii, we'll have more on his injuries coming up later. here he is addressing the offensive problems later on in the game. >> we had guys open and we couldn't make the play. and times when they needed to have those tough throws to make that there either. and like i said, that's when they said it will be coming to being better and we need to be better as a group. >> like i said, there's a lot of missed opportunities. if you'll be beating denver on the road, you'll have to play one of your better games. >> now, for the rest of the nfc east, you can see them stun the dallas cowboys. marching down the field for 80 yards under a minute. he'll be coming up big today, 329 yards, setting up that game winning touchdown by matthew stafford, just 12 seconds left as t

right way to continue going i would still be leader of the english defense league so here's what we have right now many in the a.d.l. think you're a coward and a traitor and you appear in no closer to those who have longer post you have longer post so you're threatening kind of from both sides which way will you go next are you going to maybe get to know the muslim community better. know what i want to do is take it take this take an opportunity to take this mainstream basically what we've been saying has been criticized or been ignored and pushed to the margin because of the far right extremists they've managed to give us. more nor eve elements that come to our demonstrations and these matters are too serious to be dismissed so what will it do is put it in the mainstream and make sure people listen to what we're saying rather than ignoring and dismissing the i think already we're getting there since leaving the defense legal believe people are listening now to what we've been saying rather than dismissing us after two minutes here we're starting to sound are

i'll tell you, we have seen some just fabulous efforts on the defensive side of the ball.s tremendous. jason hatcher just an outstanding game. sean lee, so many plays tonight. i thought bruce carter is much better than what he was a week ago. a guy so capable of being that linebacker in this defense. but maybe this cowboys defense sort of growing up a little bit. >> al: chris jones' punt. and that's a 19 yard line. dwayne harris gets down there from special teams. so he's had a huge punt return. a huge kickoff return. and he's doing it all on special teams. and you talk about it, cris. garret felt one big advantage for dallas was special teams. they had to win that battle. >> cris: and so many teams trying to save a few dollars. let's not forget that the penalties that washington redskins have had to live with, the $36 million in cap penalties has meant that a lot of those veterans sort of kick coverage sort of guys and other stars on this team have had to be released because they had to do it. the league imposed the fines. >> al: griffin over the middle. and that's caught

i look at her if i am the defense as the gift that keeps giving.r memory is tainted as a result of discussions she had with her sister. the recollection she has of seeing her mother's body was six years ago. the interview that she did with the justice center was four years ago. if i am the defense i say there is no such thing as partially tainted. you are fully tainted. does anybody want a bill gulp of partially tainted anything? why do the sympathy ploy of bringing a baby to come in? really the achilles heel is not just the fact that it doesn't say inñr the medical report he killed the wife, but the fact it shifted from natural causes to undetermined, there is too much uncertainty that equals what? reasonable doubt. not a good move. >> 10 seconds, do you agree with that? >> i agree with that and a 12-year-old coming in this thing can only testify. she is limited to testifying as to what she saw when she discovered her mom in the bathtub. that is no help to the d.a. i see this as a not guilty verdict. >> all right, we will wait and see. two of the

the defense force has admitted causing the fire. ey have refused to say whether there will be compensation for those. defense forces were conducting training. the rural fire service says this caused 50,000 heck cares -- hectares to be destroyed. this news has not gone down well from the -- with the community. one mayor says he does not want to get into a blame game, but he does not understand why the defense force was conducting that exercise on a day with such hot and dry conditions. >> thursday saw cooler weather in new south wales. there are still more than 60 fires burning across the state. >> that is right. many of the fires are contained. some have flared up again. the concentration will be on to major fires. osiris are still threatening towns. people have been told to pack of family if necessary or seek shelter in a hurry. in the latest of date, a 43- year-old pilot has died. the aircraft he was using to water bomb an area crashed. a 63 --year-old man had a heart attack. -- 63--year-old man had a heart attack. 63-year-old man

we are now spending almost as much as the rest of the world on defense. we are not fighting the soviet union. we are fighting al qaeda. meanwhile, the department of defense can't give us an audit. anybody think we can't cut money from the defense department? if we look at a just, moral solution with good economic sense, i think we can do deficit reduction. i think we also have got to create the mill it -- millions of jobs that the american people say we need to create. >> senator graham. >> i disagree with virtually everything senator sanders said. that brings us to what we are trying to do here. reconcile his worldview with mine. they're different. like we're on different political planets here, but what is the nature of the problem. a $17 trillion debt or we don't. we do. the question is why. how do we turn it around. boomers -- mr. chairman, madam chairman, whoever is running this thing -- is going to retire -- are going to retire. 10,000 baby boomers a day are going into medicare and social security. if you care about social security, we are to try to

raiders offense fizzled in the second half. raiders defense sizzles. ss than 90 seconds late in the game. steelers need a two point conversion. emmanuel sanders with the steal. but, raiders run it down to the final 18 seconds. steelers need a miracle and there's no immaculate reception this time. following a bye they're 3-4 over all. steelers hurt themselves by missing a 32 and 35-yard field goal. he was intercepted twice but he also ran for 106 yards. and oakland they're not 3-4. >> i believe as a team we played great. as a second half in the defense stuck their nose and played a great defense. you talk about team whether we have to score 40 points or the defense has to stop the team when we're not playing very well. there's different ways to playing a game. we ended up stepping up high in the first half and the defense finishedded the game. >> we made sure we harassed the quarterback and we were able to do it. and the biggest thing, in the fourth quarter we were able to finish it. >>> and michael vick may not get to play the game. it was up to barkley
