month or two ago about this huge, huge data storage facility that is being built by the nsa in the southwestern united states. now you know why, there are too many red flags, too many pieces of circumstantial evidence that are very unnerving. >> thomas drake is a former nsa official said and i'll quote, it is a total fourth amendment search and seizure violation. he agrees completely with you. do we as americans -- and, again, i guess i'm including myself as a verizon customer, although that may change by the end of today. >> so am i. >> do we have any recourse? >> well, you know what, gregg you hit the nail on the head. typically your recourse under the fourth amend many is this judge made decision about suppression. in any criminal prosecution you can suppress evidence that was obtained in violation of your fourth amendment right. i got news for you, unless the government is coming after you, me and 129 million other people for being terrorists we have no recourse. >> fred tecce, good to see you. thank you very much. >> thanks for having me. >> okay. we are getting a new look at what went on

angeles, and phoenix, should be included on a commission designed to improve border security in the southwestern region. if that commission is necessary, nevada should have a seat at that table. including nevada on the commission makes the underlying bill more effective, enhances this particular border security provision and ensures that it fully addresses the issues affecting the southern border and southwestern states. madam president, if we reject common sense during this amendment process we're going to end up right back where we started in years to come. and we're not going to give the american people the solution that they deserve in this immigration bill. it's common sense that if the federal government fails to gain control of the borders then the states most affected by the failure should be able to play a role in fixing the problem. and it's common sense that states like nevada that faces the same problems as other states in the region should contribute to the process as members of that commission. madam president, i urge my colleagues to support this amendment and i yield the floor. a

. >> isolated in the rural farming communities of southwestern indiana, the wabash valley correctional facility is 340 acres of concrete, razor wire and broken dreams for the inmates incarcerated in this maximum security indiana prison. they arrive from all over the state. but the superintendent dick brown who runs wabash and started as a corrections officer here 19 years earlier has seen a big change in the population. >> traditionally they were from the inner cities, cities like gary and indianapolis and south bend and now we are seeing more from the rural communities in part to the methamphetamine problem. the ingredients for methamphetamine come from farms. so that's why we have a large amount of offenders being incarcerated from local small communities. they get involved with the meth ring and caught up and end up in the indiana department of correction. >> i got to be honest, most of the police knew me by a first-name basis. >> it's the same thing over and over. day in, day out. >> methamphetamine is the worst thing i have ever come in contact with. my only regret, i wish i never

this is the only clinic in southwestern louisiana where poor people like angus carter can get treatment. he depends on assistance from the state. when the clinic's one doctor is not available, there is nobody there to help.>> tjhey -- they don't want to deal with me anymore. i am trying my best, but seriously, doctor, my jaw is swollen up. my headaches, they're there. >> angus carter got infected nearly 20 years ago. he was a heroin user and shared needles with others. that is probably how he contracted hiv. mimi alvarado came to louisiana from nicaragua in the 1970's. thirteen years ago her then partner infected her with hiv. initially, hiv and aids mostly affected homosexual men. but that has not been case for decades.-- has not been the case for decades. anyone can be infected. treatment for poor patients is itself often poor. the financial crisis has decimated public health-care budgets. >> we did have to make some very difficult decisions. and reduce some of our contracts with our community-based organizations and service providers in order to look at cost containment. compared to

is something i wonder whether our colleagues really understand, because they don't live along the southwestern border that we have had people from 100 different countries, including countries of special interest, state sprors -- sponsors of terrorism. a border patrol showed me rescue becons where if you get sick enough and want to give up, you can hit the beacon and border patrol will come rescue you. it is listed in three languages: english, spanish and chinese. i asked the border patrol, i said chinese? that seems a little out of place in south texas. they said for $30,000, if you're from china, you can hire somebody to smuggle you into the united states. and so, this is, as we've heard from both the director of national intelligence and the head of the defense intelligence agency, this vulnerability along our southwestern border is a national security vulnerability and one reason why we immediate to adopt my -- why we need to adopt my amendment. my amendment closes loopholes in current laws that allow drug cartel mules to transport bulk cash and launder money with near impunity. so what hap

first off, can you give me an estimated time of when you think the 408 permit process for the southwestern illinois prevention district might be all issues settled and offered? >> the last time i looked at that was about three months ago. i would have to get an update from that. three months ago, we hadn't yet had the submission from the local sponsor. so i couldn't give you an answer because we hadn't gotten the submission and i don't know if we've got them yet. i will have to go back and look at it and certainly i can have one of my staff call your staff later this week and tell you where we are on the process. that particular issue had us look at the 408 issues, the minor and major and they can resolve that locally and if it is major it has to come to the headquarters for the review. the last time i looked on that particular project, we decided that there was a major 408, but again if the submission had changed, then it may be minor but i don't know the details. >> thank you very much for that. i know the locals have also requested to use a project labor agreement on one portion of cons

both attacks happened in the southwestern part of the country. it carried female college students.lled 11 women and injured 19 others. gunmen bombed the hospital and took over parts of the facility. >>> people injured in the boston marathon bombings are rushing to make claims for help. volunteers expect more today. donations continue to poor in for the fund which stands at more than $47 million. four people were killed and more than 260 were injured in the bombings. money won't be handed out to the victims until next month. >>> back here in the bay area, antioch officials say bomb threats have cost them an estimated $157,000. they were phoned into three high schools all in april. according to the times, it includes teacher and staff salaries and extra resources to contact parents. a 16-year-old student will be expelled for causing two of the pranks. and it's unknown who caused the third incident. >>> we are learning about the information that national security got from high tech companies. they're trying to reassure users right, now, about what they turned over to the government. t

report. 45% of the southwestern border with mexico is operationally secure, in the opinion of the g.a.o. more recently, radar surveillance by a new technology called vadar was reported in "the los angeles times" to have been successful in showing situational awareness along the border where it was tested but that in fact the border patrol detained less than half of the people crossing the border. that seems to be consistent with this idea of 45% operational control, where less than half of the people crossing were actually detained. a recent council on foreign relations report showed similar security results. -- or failures, i should say. members of the gang of eight, who i think have done the one a public service -- who i think have done the country a public service by bringing this matter to you believe that our goal should be 100% situational awareness of the sorning border and a 90% apprehension rate of illegal border crossings. this may surprise my colleagues, but i actually dray wit agree we metrics. 1 coomembers of the congress oft who brought us this legislation also believe we

the latest market figures. >>> japanese engineers are looking to wind power for sustainable energy. they've started operating a major wind turbine on a trial basis in southwestern japan. the turbine is 83 meters wide and stands off the coast of kitakyushu. it can generate enough electricity to meet the needs of 1,500 households. officials pushed the start button to set the turbine in motion. they produce more stable supplies in electricity than land-based wind power. this is because sea winds are stronger and are less affected by topography. >> translator: we lag behind europeans in offshore wind power, but we have the technology to win. i hope this project marks the start of japan's efforts to catch up with and overtake europe. >> the engineers will analyze the equipment's durability against salt and waves over the next two years. >>> workers at japan's damaged nuclear plant may be able to start removing fuel rods from some reactors sooner than they'd expected. officials with the government and the operator of fukushima daiichi have approved a plan to speed up the process. they've revised their road map for scrapping the four reactors damaged by the earthquake

you see the filled in red boxes across southwestern illinois. we are going to see that's where the severe thunderstorm warnings are now. we are going to see a chance of possibly seeing still some stronger storms and heavy torrential downpours. we have flood warnings up and down the mississippi and missouri rivers, there is a pretty good chance we will see flash flooding with the torrential downpours. you can see areas like central missouri, southwestern illinois where we have the threat of torrential downpours. closer look at oklahoma itself, there's moore, oklahoma, and norman is south of that, shawnee, where we had the most recent tornado warning issued. those have been let to expire, still torrential downpours, frequent cloud to ground lightning and stronger winds within the storms, but the tornado warnings themselves have been let go after a very busy several hours with that first tornado warning just west of el reno several hours ago. those now are starting to weaken, conditions are getting more favorable for things to be more stable, and we

first off, can you give me an estimated time of when you think the 408 permit process for the southwestern flood prevention district might be all issues settled and offered? >> circumstance the last time i looked at that was about three months ago. i'd have to get an update from that. three months ago, we had not et had the submission from the local -- from the local sponsor, so i couldn't give you an answer, because we hadn't gotten his submission, and i don't know if we've got that yet, so i'll have to go back and look at it and certainly can have one of my staff call your staff later this week and tell you where we are in that process. >> thank you. >> that particular issue had us look at 408 issues, both minor 408 and major. if it's a minor 408 issue, they can resolve it locally. if it's major, it has to come to headquarters for our review. last time i worked in that particular project, we decided that it was a major 408. but again, if the submission had to change, then it may be minor, but i don't know the details. >> thank you very much for that. i know the locals have also requested
