where particularly all the state's public lands are at state. nevada has the same language for disposal he i extinguishing act. nevada was actually a state three years before nebraska. nebraska goes from a little more than 30% public lands down to 1%. while nevada goes from 86% to 81%. utah has the same operative language for extinguishing title hood of public lands as north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, louisiana, alabama. they simply have not honored that promise with the states in the west. that's what is happening now. because that have frustration, the complex patchwork that the professor called it is creating environmental and economic urgency throughout the west. you have forest that are sitting as tinderboxes and you have record fire conditions that are killing millions of animals, destroying water shed and habitat for decades. you've got wild horses issues where under their own plans, their own regulations the federal government is showed to limit the wild horse population in a particular southern utah area 300 wild horses yet there ar

all over the united states. we have a relationship with the corrections department in the mexico. we train corrections officers jails in the region are meant to rehabilitate as opposed to make them worse criminals. we work with the attorneys general to teach about prosecution. we do this with a number of states. we work with -- in fact, it by mail would like to submit for the record a paper explaining all the partnerships. this is one of the on some aspects of the work that the united states is doing overseas. we are taking the expertise developed at various dates, for instance the miami-dade police department as a lot of training and counter narcotics. we also have a partnership with the port of miami and customs officers who come to miami to see how we handle port security. you talk about doing some prosecutions there. absolutely. that is exactly what we are trying to do. capacity on the investigation side and the courts because we want to empower this government and country to apprehend criminals, to try them,

the first is a state-wide standardized assessment that all counties should use for families and this ally trying to assess hr employ bltd and their needs and strengths are in designing a welfare to work plan. the second area is what's called reengagement services. this is really targeted to families that have not been participating and provides funding for not only case workers to support families but also services to help folks reengage in their activities. and the third area, which is sort of what i think is the most important, is what's called stablization services. these are basically flexible state dollars that are allocated to our county to provide intensive case management if necessary, to address homelessness, we could use it for rental subsidies, for example, domestic violence counseling, behavioral health needs, it's really a flexible pot of money. it's targeted for families who aren't yet ready to move from welfare to work. the idea would be a 6-month services that would be at least 6 months in duration and that 24 month clock would not start ticking until after that 6 mont

>> it depends on the state, so the majority -- >> this state r the state we're talking about. >> okay, minnesota. as i read the cases, the rule in minnesota is that the covenant of good faith and fair dealing is not waived. so there's a case that we found called new amsterdam indemnity, and it says in the context, a covenant of good faith and fair dealing is not waivable. so i don't think you could do that. which i think underscores that this is not the part ies agreeig to this. this is having this condition superimposed on them. >> is the choice we have here only between state law and no relief? or is there some theory under which, either federal common law or an appeal to the d.o.t., could give the flier, the customer, some relief? you know, we can all think of crazy hypotheticals, suppose the phone rings and says i'm john dough. i want to talk to you about my airline. you have miscalculated. they said we have heard from you 15 times. you're out of this program. it's a mistaken identity. there are two john does. could the innocent good faith john doe do anything at all? >> yes, the

two units floats over the air from the cow state and two units from the sheep state. if we treat them alike we're going to tell the cow state, your unit is the same as the sheep state's unit, both make the same significant contribution, and we have to say that, even if, for you to remit your unit, causes death and destruction, destroys your economy, and i have to write those words to accept your argument. >> wouldn't i? >> i'd like to resist the roll your honor has -- >> the bringer of death and destruction and starvation. >> then you will either have to draw ademption -- distinction,. >> when you get down to the level of implementing these things you can't take into account whether death and destruction when the state is doing that as part of the process, but doesn't pear on how the amount of significant contribution is defined because when epa takes into account can it's woking the other way. at it saying that even though a causation standard only would require you to reduce this much, we, the epa, can shift to you an additional burden because we think another state

what is the state of play? d to reassure the public path forward is one that will be safe and secure. >> well, i think we are in a low right now. i think there is a flurry of activity when i was in the government in 2011 and in anticipation of shells drilling in 2012 as is well-known and well-documented well documented that was the heiress of fiascoes, which ended in really no meaningful progress and i think really created a cloud over the prospect of future arctic offshore development into my mind that cloud really has not moved or listed the interior department is planning to put out arctic regulations sometimes in the next few months. shell has been blocked by court decisions going forward this coming center on trade center come although was clear to me whether they would have their ducks in a row sufficient to go forward many of them. so i think there are major questions about whether and when in the next few years there will be any offshore arctic activity and that does mean really address the question of w

they sent it to the state department, to the department of justice, the department of state, and the white house national security staff. there were a number of changes made. >> to you and david petraeus? >> they send them to dave, but not to me. >> so you never saw them? >> not at that time. they're being coordinated in the inner agency. changes are being suggested. the only substantive changes are being suggested by the fbi and state department. the white house suggest two changes, both of them editorial. when the director saw them, he asked that they add two things. he asked that they add language reflecting the significant warnings that we have provided in the months leading up to the attack and benghazi. we had been writing for months that the security situation in eastern libya in general and in benghazi in particular was deteriorating. he also asked that we add the fact that we sent a cable to cairo just hours before the mob attack in cairo, warning cairo embassy that it was coming. he wanted that added to the talking points as well. at this point, i still don't even know they

and so the fact that the state allocated the money and said this is what you need, maybe the state needs a budget analyst. i don't know. >> we can recommend you, mr. rose, if you want to go to sacramento. >> thank you, supervisor. now getting to the details of our report on page 5, the bottom of page 5, as shown in table 4, the proposed ordinance would appropriate 31.5 million and that's as mr. rourke indicated for new state and cal revenues ascribed to 5 different hsa programs to pay for different expenditures including contractors, client services, training and marketing and that's shown as i say in table 4 on page 6. on page 8 of our report, we note that table 6 details the 68 total positions being added by program for a total of 16.85 fte's for fiscal year 13-14. and on page 9 we note that the salary and benefit costs for the proposed fte's in 13-14 would be funded by hsa existing salary savings in the hsa 13-14 budget. as a matter of fact, the department has a total of surplus funds of 10.8 million. so mr. chairman and members of the committee, you might want to criticize, you might

and because their identity had been defined by the state, if the russian state was weak and somebody else was offering a better deal, that is what you should take. i have a picture of a demonstration in the westernmost region of the russian federation from about seven years ago showing a group of russians marching around with signs on which it said, i would rather be a second-class citizen and estonian than a first-class citizen and russian. and these people were russians. what vladimir putin has done is because he understood that if the only way you can promote that original proposition that i said is with authoritarianism. and he believes he has the capacity to do that. but what he has now done, and this is the real crime in crimea and ukraine, it is a real crime that he must be opposed. he is the first leader since 1945 who has said that ethnicity as he understands it is more important than leadership. it is something that is dangerous to the neighbors of russia. it is dangerous to russia itself because it will lead to its explosion. and it is dangerous to the rest of the world bec

we need the palestinian state along the israeli state, there is no question. t we will not negotiate with hamas unless they recognize israel. this is not our condition. it is the u.s. european and u.n. condition. >> there has been press reporting in the last 12 hours out of the middle east saying that hamas is willing to recognize the state of israel. is there anything you can tell us on whether there is any accuracy to those recent reports? >> y, i can tell you that hamas is ready to accept our solution of none violence. so far palestinians have recognized israel but israel did not recognize up until now palestinian state. the road to peace is simple and clear. israel should accept our right to be equal. they should accept the compromise to having a palestinian state, and there will be peace. unfortunately so far israel wants to continue illegal settlements that are killing the possibility of having a palestinian state. that is the problem. for 21 years we have been negotiating, and instead of seeing peace we've been witnessing the expansion-- >> let me jump i

but the issue between the federal government and the states is still a live issue. you still had people like rick perry saying that they want to keep the issue. is there any way for the right to salvage the issue they wanted to talk about? or has cliven bundy made that impossible? >> well, there were so issues that they originally wanted to talk about. all of them, they think, wedge issues, rural america versus the elites in urban america, the real bedrock of this country, the cowboys versus everybody else. i think the only legitimate issue here, it is a legitimate issue. for instance, in nevada, the federal government owns 81% of the land. what would happen if the state took possession of that land? i don't think it's as clear as a lot of the states rights folks think. for instance, does anyone think that cliven bundy would've paid his fees if the state owned that land instead of the federal government? it's still public land. he still would've had to pay grazing fees on the state land. that is a legitimate policy issue. but for anyone to think that any of what went

this is now and that is still the mississippi state flag. and sometimes just visually it is hard to tell the difference between what used to be and what still is. the local mississippi chapter of the sons of confederate veterans like to buy billboards wishing happy birthday to confederate heroes to celebrate the war of southern independence. quote, southerners have less reason to be loyal to the collective enterprise of the united states than does any group of citizens. the south was invaded, laid waste and hunkered when it tried to uphold the original and correct understanding of the declaration of independence and the constitution. you would think its vestigial past, it's still here, is an uncomfortable thing. it's an uncomfortable political thing about the guy giving the incumbent republican u.s. senator from mississippi a run for his money right now. chris mcdaniels challenge for that u.s. seat held by thad cochrane. the challenge has been dogged by reports of his having been a featured guest at a sons of confederate veterans nae o neocon

the united states? > they have had those values at the core, freedom of expression, freedom of the respect of the individual, the question of human rights. or they have made a strong effort to go -- and this government is imperfect and the president will be the first one to tell you. but they also believe in free markets. we have friends that don't necessarily believe in free markets. subsidize the cultural sector in the free market. >> yes. >> oh, come on. [laughter] >> but tell me how you feel about free markets. >> you said a lot of interesting things. let me comment about some of them. everybody agrees with these kinds of values. but remember, for instance, during the french revolution, in the name of liberty, heads were cut. so you should be very careful because everybody goes to talk about free speech, free press, freedom, liberty of action, etc. so we have different institutions according to different principles, different values. that doesn't mean that here, in the united states, you're respectin

or for that matter in the united states. mr. chairman, i say one thing, note for the record, that mr. de santis from florida, put up a, a graph which, he said showed and questioned with witnesses on the theory that it showed that these contractors and others, including the federal exchange, had in fact performed below cbi expectations considerably. please note for the record that his state, and now, and a great many other states are directly responsible for that because they have failed to allow poor and middle class and disabled people to get health through expansion of the medicaid exchange. that had happened, i have no doubt that the goals would have been met. so to use such a especially coming from a state, to use such a graph without taking responsibility for why there is reduction in the, in the uninsured americans take as lot of chutzpah. thank you, mr. chairman. >> i would only say one thing with that. in my state, we also have that. some of those individuals were covered by our insure oklahoma program, prior to that,

because the state's law is a strong supporter by the people of hawaii, the aloha state authorized theestablishment of a state based marketplace to harmonize the aca with the hawaii be paid health care act. my written to me provide you details about the connector and i would like to focus on some specific issues. first of all enrollment. as of march 31, 2014, we have 7596 individuals enrolled in commercial plans to the individual marketplace. 265 people enrolled through the shop small employer marketplace, and 24,641 completed applications in our system. the connector doesn't handle medicaid eligibility or enrollment for the medicaid population there that is handled through the department of human services, or dhs. dhs had over 20,008 a medicaid enrollments from last october through february this year, for a total of over 36,660 went enrollments across the entire wide marketplace. we launched our online market place on october 15, and accepted initial application forms between october 1 and 15th. the system has been operating since then, but it was very difficult to use at first. as of

this is a great market, so was nafta good for the united states? ou bet it was. >> when go into walmart, target, a similar store, much of what you shop from is made elsewhere on the planet, not in the united states. did nafta fulfill ross perot's threat of the giant sucking gland history teaches us when you take these skills away from people, you destroy those skills, but most importantly you destroy their self-respect, pride and dignity. >> ross perot was in error on the sucking sounds going south. what has taken effect is globalization. we're much more inter connected as a world. jobs are moving around as products are moving around. and you mentioned the shelves of walmart and others, but when i had my last year in office as u.s. trade representative i would go on the floor of a manufacturing facility, and it was teeming with people. people screwing in bolts here. you went on an auto manufacturing floor, and you stumbled over people. today you go on an auto factory floor, i don't care if it's in the united states, japan, or china, there is nobody

i came to the state department in 2009. the challenge in today's world is not just about what we communicate about who we are. we are actually very good at that. but we need to do better in explaining what we do, and factoring public diplomacy and public opinion into the policymaking process. this is where i believe public diplomacy deficit exists. the new undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs talk yesterday at a swearing-in ceremony about the power of the story that we tell. is standing in the world challenged in some respects, but make no mistake, as rick said, we put everything together, who we are, what we stand for, what , theoduce, how we innovate opportunities we generate for our citizens another -- and others, the ideas that have come to define this, we are in line for who we are, but the world is not like and in many cases does understand what we're trying to do. too often there is a gap. closing that gap is vitally important. this poses a bit of a paradox. i do not believe the united states has tro

they have a disagreement so why can't the state do what it wants to do? >> with all due respect your honor i disagree with you and i want to look at it from this point of view. under the rational basis there are really two requirements. one is that there needs in independent and legitimate state interest and let's assume they need that because there is arguable disagreement. we don't agree with that but let's say that stated in the record. the second part of the test requires that there be a nexus between that state interest and the classifications that issue. in this case the classification is the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage. >> you are taking the position that they are just wrong and if they were correct and there was some type of a nexus i disagree with your nexus. we have the legislative and a democratic situation here. we have people that have voted in the legislature and if they thought there was something there they just say you are wrong and that the group stands up and says loud enough will ignore what the people have decided and w

i don't believe in the state of florida itself. i think that we have reaffirmed our commit to diversity, and we constantly strife to ensure that the campus is a very diverse environment because we believe that only in a very diverse environment can the true benefits that an university education can completely realized. we work every day to ensure that we have an environment in which all of our students will benefit and be prepared to diverge into a very diverse world. >> thank you for joining us. >> when we come back we'll talk more about the cumulative power of various court rulings, and ballot initiatives around the country, how it has changed the landscape for initiative offices >> all this week, trades near the speed of light... >> if you're not trading at those speeds, you're toast! >> billions of dollars at stake, is our economy insecurity now at the mercy of these machines? >> humans aren't able to receive information in that timeframe. >> we're looking at the risks, rewards, and dangers of high frequency trading >> there are

you talk to people, cops, who are arrivals here in the united states, and they just talk about the desirewant, they have to just get out to anywhere australia, canada, united states, any place that will take them. and the kops compared to the iraqi christians or syrian christians are in a rely it actively better position. >> but dan, is this state-driven or not by states themselves, but by radical elements within the countries? >> it's mostly the latter, paul. just consider the implication of what brett said. these christians have been living in these lands since the time of jesus. some of them speak arrest am mayic, the language of the bible. they have coexisted with muslims for nearly 2,000 years. then about 30 years ago with the rise of islamic fundamentalism, they came under attack. so it's very recent and it's very specifically a result of them being targeted by radical islam. >> but radical -- you're saying not by the state -- the governments, per se, as much as by the sort of fundamentalists sects or by offshoots? >> yes, but to the extent these fundamentalist sects are gaining aut

how much money did the state actually use? >> as of the end of this past calendar year, we spent 57 million out of that amount. >> is my understanding that there was a request to ask dan so you couldend, spend the remaining amount. the state has been denied that come as a correct? >> the grant cannot be used beyond this calendar year, that is correct. correct so the 205 million the $205 million, how much money do you get to continue to use? >> in addition to the $57 million that is artie been spent, we have -- we are obligated under contract and additional $50 million. we have about $100 million roughly, the federal grant money that has it to be obligated or spent. the amount, or the portion of that that is related to operations and maintenance, versus development money, which can be extended to next year, has yet to be determined. we are working with cms to figure that out. we just got that decision recently. obviously, we want to be careful about how we use taxpayer dollars, so the development money will be used to the extent

everyone is being gripped with these bone dry conditions across the state. in fact, many experts say we will likely end up as one of the top ten driest rainfall seasons ever. >> the 2013 was the driest calendar year. now we're on track for probably about the third driest rainfall season. so right now, most places in the state are 35% to 45% of normal. >> what i want to do right now is take a closer look into the bay area. what you'll find is parts of the bay are doing worse than others when it comes to that drought. up in the north bay, the lighter color of orange, that is the extreme drought. then for parts of the east bay, south bay and also the peninsula under this darker shade of red, that is the exceptional drought. this has never been declared before in california. some of the driest conditions, again, ever, according to our drought monitor. san jose under this, sunnyvale, san mateo and palo alto. depending how the cities get their water, some cities will favor better than others. >> santa clara county, they get some water from the sierra, some from loc

they have a greater claim on the united states and the arabs do with the state of israel. the cause is self was part of the muslim brotherhood founded by a the war criminal who's served hitler in berlin and had its own boschwitz. but obama has put the full weight behind its evil. having a retreat to the 49 borders to make the goal far easier to accomplish in say that they need to stop building homes at the same time to have all palestinian leaders that node you could be permitted to live in any territory that palestinians control. to acquiesce the long-range rockets to carry out their work to obliterate the jews. this is a surreal context. with israel's most important ally is an ally of her enemies. when negotiations facilitate a new holocaust is called the peace process. when american has sirenian hitler rights to acquire nuclear weapons but it is so constructed by the enemies of the druse -- the jews the situation has become almost impossible and a reasonable proposal is difficult to formulate. it is a context of our speaker has entered with just such an assessment of the

and the local paper of the state. you believe that the book of genesis is literally true and not an allegory and the earth is only 6,000 years old, then you do not believe in the woolly mammoth. you do not believe what was dug up in the 1700s was a 10,000-year-old thing. you don't believe there are any 10,000-year-old things. you don't believe in fossils. and, if you've don't believe that fossils are real things, then what on earth are you doing writing the state law about establishing the official fossil of your state? i mean there are people who believe the earth is flat. that's awesome. more power to you. you would not hire a person who believed that to captain your sailing vessel for an around the world trip. the dude was be flipping a turn at the end of the world, right. this is, this is the flip turn at the end of the world. state legislature. olivia has to work with. this is her home state. the original amendment adding those three verses from the book of genesis, that amendment did get pulled out of the bill on

because as the united states -- after the civil war and the north and south united, the united states developed a great economy, and therefore it developed trading interests around the world it didn't have before, and so it needed a great military in order to defend those trading interests. you could say more or less china has been following a similar path. the yale professor, paul bracken, likes to say that capitalist prosperity, if it goes on and on, leads to military acquisitions. you know, you have a capitalist economy that is a success for 30 years, on and on, it's going to start building a big military. that's what history shows us. so there's nothing rogue about what china has been doing in the larger historical sense. it's not threatening to destroy any nation or wipe any nation off the face of the earth, or anything. it's emerging as a natural new great power. the problem that history shows us is one of the reasons people love the status quo, even if the status quo is unfair, is that it is stable, and so if the status quo goes on you're less likely to have military conflict.

to separate the united states? > i said the united states always needs an adventitious balance of power in the asia-pacific. but he cannot have going into the future decades the kind of dominance that it exercised in the post-world war ii decades because for decades, there was no chinese navy to speak of. japan was caused by pacifistic. vietnam and malaysia were tied up in internal wars we know about so well. the philippines is internally focused on muslim guerrillas. that's all changed. vietnam and malaysia by building significant navies or much more so than they had in the past. japan is moving on to this cause i pacifism in china since the mid-1990s has been emerging as one of the world's great errancy powers. so we are going to have more of a complex multipolar military arrangement as opposed to the very simplistic uni- polar american military dominance that we've had in previous decades. there will be a shift. again, it's a matter of a favorable balance of power. you can freeze the chinese have entirely. >> one

preparede allies today to be led by the united states and to be supportive of the united states? >> i think so. >> you think? do you have any questions about whether you might be out the mystic -- too optimistic? >> we lead when we came into office. if you had said we were going to be able to put together a six or seven-year effort in afghanistan, people would have had doubts about that in 2009. we have been able to work with our allies on the libby operation. importantged in negotiations and trade. >> an interesting historical note, there are some people who his presentin, in thinking, is influenced by a couple of things. kosovo and he is very much opposed to that and yet he is doing the same thing with crimea. two, libya. somehow, he feels like the united states or the security council, that they pulled one over on him and that those two things have influenced his own mind. >> i say couple of things about that. first of all, it is a bad analysis to think that this has to do with syria. i just think that's wrong. >> you mean he is too savvy to read that into it? >> this is more f

government poking around in the red states, yes, we have some gay friends in the red states. there are patriots who oppose the war in iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in iraq. we are one people. all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes. all of us defending the united states of america. >> that was ten years ago. we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the united states of america. it is true. we are one people. but we are also still blue states and red states. that did not go away. except now it is possible that the blue state/red state thing does not adequately encompass the option for governance in 2014. but what we're seeing is the option for governance is not just blue states and red states, but rather blue states and red states and then oklahoma, oklahoma is like turning it up to 11. oklahoma is something else. wikipedia does the election maps that shows not just the vote but the strength of the vote, county by county for presidential elections. this was how oklahoma voted in 2000, mostly red, just a bit of blue. this is 2004, bu

the united states? >> charlie: but if you look at the governments who have been more successful, they have had those values at the core -- the freedom of expression, the freedom of expression of the individuals, the freedom of expression of human rights -- or they've made a strong effort to go, and this president will be the first to tell you. and they also believe in free markets. we have friends who don't necessarily believe in free markets. you subsidize your free markets. >> charlie: yes, we do. but tell me how you believe about free markets? >> let me comment about something. everybody agrees with these kind of values. but remember, for instance, during french revolution, in the name of liberty, heads were cut. because everybody talks about free speech, free press, liberty, so we have different institutions according to different principles, different values. that doesn't mean that here in the united states you you are not respecting human rights or in our country we are not respecting human rights.

. >> this step will affirm the state of palestine, and it is a good step to get recognition from the ole world as our status of a state like other states but under occupation. >> israel let a prisoner-release deadline expire in march. president benjamin netanyahu said he would not stand for unilateral moves. >> palestinian threats to approach the u.n. will not affect us. palestinians have much to loose by taking unilateral steps. they will only achieve a state through direct negotiation not by empty declaration or unilateral measures. these will only push further away peace agreement. unilateral steps on their part will be answered by unilateral steps from our side. we're willing to continue with the talks but not at any cost. >> before abbas' move, netanyahu said his cabinet was about to to approve a deal including restraints in new settlements. the release of jonathan pollard. the u.s. convicted pollard of spying for israel in 1987. the question of jewish settlements in occupied territory is causing tensions in israel's cabinet. while the palestinian authority negotiate for peace ha
