the islamic state. you see, actions have consequences. ideas have consequences. and when the decision was made y pothba ma of releasing bagdadi from the united states detention center for whatever eason, that has had profound consequences. ask the thousands of iraqis who are now dead. who are ousands of dead and displaced. ask the hundreds, maybe thousands, of women who have been raped and violated and young girls. those in syria who had to deal with the same. the tragic consequences are being felt even here in the united states. then we watched with startling speed the bank robberies that occurred when bagdadi had to find a source of income and revenue to run the islamic state. he did that by robbing banks. some report says he stole over $400 million. some say over $100 million. other says various amounts. the fact is now we had an islamic jihaddist who could support himself through bank robbery, but he didn't stop there he knew that wouldn't be enough to accomplish the dream he had to establish a globa

, the islamic state has declared war against the united states. we must declare war against the islamic state. but that is not what president obama proposed. president obama from his wrote, has essentially made clear that he believes war is obsolete in the 21st century. that isn't the view of the islamic state or the totalitarian regime that has declared war. war isn't obsolete. and the president of the united states isn't choosing to engage the united states in war. it is this odd hybrid where the president wants to say he wants to defeat the islamic state and yet not willing to do what it takes to defeat the islamic state. why do i say that? the united states military is the greatest military, army, navy and air force in the world. there is nothing even that remotely can compare to the united states military. and yet our president stated both last in his address to the ation as well as today at fort magdill air force, that this there will be no boots on the ground, no u.s. military presence. he is willing to use the american air force to fly miss

it's no longer just money for the islamic state, the islamic state or i.s.i.s. is waging war. and regional and european powers - every option now. >>> john hendren joins us from erbil. what do you make of this apparent beheading? >> well the timing is curious. this happens after president obama in the u.s. declared this new campaign and after john kerry, the secretary of state has gone from country to country, trying to gather up is coalition to take on the islamic state. it raised its profile, and these beheadings seem to happen if this, in fact, was a beheading. we haven't verified the video. it seems to happen at times when the islamic state wants to attract tore turn the attention of the public. last time there were a series of military defeats after the killing of steven sotloff. now you have attention on the international coalition gathering against the islamic state, and concluding in egypt. it seems that the incidents are timed to send a message, and to change the news cycle. >> every day we hear of losses and gains on the ground. if you can give us a picture of the fig

elizabeth nash, what has been the national landscape? have there been states that have gone pretty far down the road making if hard inside of the state lines to get an abortion? >> absolutely, we can look at places like texas, but we can go much further, north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, kansas, arizona, oklahoma, mississippi, louisiana, all of these states have made it incredibly difficult for women to access services in just the last few years. >> how do they do that westbound the language of roe? >> they have taken it very lossly and adopted restrictions, such as a 24-hour waiting period. and then they make a trip to the councilor, and then a trip 24 hours later to receive the abortion, and they limit how she can pay for the abortion, and pile on the restrictions one after another such that at one point, it gets too high for the women to climb and too high for the providers to offer services, so they don't overturn roe at all, but keep adding more and more restrictions, even when an individual restriction is upheld, you put them all together, and it bec

the other states in this country. and unemployment is going low, and that's as well an accomplishment for all of us. but what we need in the next governor must lead iowa to the next generation of jobs. be an explosion of economic opportunity. but to get there, we have to do different. build the economy from the community up. not from the top down. plan is to have an economic development authority, not one to cover the whole state, but regionally, four of them, so district willonal be able to match the state's with national priorities that will be funded by our congress persons and also the local communities have spent so much time and effort, like davenport and burlington, to be able to create jobs on their own. who knows jobs the best but the authorities, the city councils? they know where the jobs are. the communities are that need it. they noa know -- know what theye do to get those jobs to become a reality in their community. state government is going to be provide refreshing new dollars instead of one agency getti

the united states will synchronize those maps. the air force is looking they beat them back on these road networks they gain the upper hand very quickly and take care of looking at strikes inside syria, going for command and control areas they recognize. you'll see drones going over syria to collect as much information as possible. >> jamie are you still there? >> yes i am here i am. >> we talked about the reaction overseas and we had sue turton on and said the iraqi people aren't optimistic necessarily but waiting for something to happen. you spent a lot of time there. can you give us your impression of what the iraqi people want to hear? >> i think it really depends on what is happening on the ground and ultimately this is what the president was talking about when he congratulated the new iraqi prime minister and the push to see signs from him haider al-abadi for an inclusive government. the risk here is that yet again the sunni population in iraq is going to be faced with another awakening. whether they choose to agree this time

the states have controlled their electorate. the more complex you make the rep -- registration process, more likely you are to exclude voters on the margins. the easier make the process, the larger the pool of voters will be. i think it is a good idea. for one thing, it would take away the problem of people voting in multiple states. of would not have the sense two states not talking to one another. the answer is, the states do not want to give up that power. statesifferences between on how they organize registration. affects the pool of potential voters. each day makes a choice as to which pool they want. >> join me in thanking our panelists. >> bloomberg news reporter talks about the economy and employment. the center for american progress examines the current state of the union's in this country. we will take your calls and you can join the conversation on facebook and twitter. >> this labor day, on the c-span networks, on c-span at 5:00 eastern, "bullying in schools." 8:00, bill nye the science guy and ken ham debate evolutio

the state brought in $2.61 billion. those numbers are from 2012. it's important to note that they don't include gaming on tribal land. last year the national indian gaming commission reported revenue of $28 billion. paul bonnie, you've been talking as if it's well understand what the down sides of widespread gambling are. when a casino operator approaches a community, do they have to acknowledge that up front and build in protections? is that now part of what has to go on when service proposes gambling, say as is the catskills as is on offer right now. >> well, it is acknowledged, and a small amount of money is set aside for gambling--for treatment of gambling addicts and problem gamblers, but that's not really sufficient, and it is not really the way to understand the problem. the way to understand the problem is to try and prevent addiction from setting in, in the first place. that's by defanging the industry from these predatory tactics. but a lot of the negative ramifications of casinos in urban areas are not readily apparent, and are not things

the citizens of the state, the every day i went to the state that need a tax cut. y priorities will always be with the middle-class. corporations, we are good at what we do. we will figure out a way and we will be able to continue to provide the jobs that are necessary but i want middle-class iowa to get the support they need. >> with just under 10 minutes remaining in our debate let's try to squeeze another category and if we can regarding the gas tax, infrastructure, roads, bridges. the question is for the governor from dale. >> time is gone by quickly. >> i thought we were having fun, right? >> the state needs money to improve its infrastructure. you are -- you are to minister to the department of education says we are not obtaining the network that we have. it took some time to widen u.s. 61 between burlington and -- county and even more with all the truck traffic coming from the fertilizer plant. lawmakers told us in january that there was support for an increase in the gas tax if you would have indicated your support but without an an indication nobody was pre

the resolution said, you know, two states. resolution, which israel -- the partition resolution, which israel invoked in its declaration of independence, planted, rooted its legitimacy in that -- it cited the palestinian -- the partition plan. but when someone these days says, "but there's a partition plan that said that the rest of it, that was not assigned to israel, is the legitimate patrimony of the palestinian people," the answer given is, "ah, yeah, but they voted they would not accept it, and the partition plan was never officially adopted." well, why are you quoting it then in your declaration of independence, if you consider it to be null and void and not -- anyway. >> and the response of -- or the slogan, the idea that was put forward so much in the founding of the state of israel -- palestine is a land without people for a people without land? >> well, that was the common understanding and referred to repeatedly in ari shavit's book and in others, that the zionist movement, at its very birth, was founded on an untrut

in the united states. if there is anything else i hope you will remember about me today and tonight, it is that i will veto any budget that cuts another nickel or another penny from public education. i am proud to be here with jennifer and my son will, who is headed off to the army, and at home, our six-year-old, monti. these education cuts are the most important facing us to drive our economy. we have a lawsuit which has been settled by this great court, which we have got to deal with right away. i am calling for us to begin funding our schools immediately. no more delays. no more post poneman. it is time to make funding k-12 education our principal priority, and i hope doug will join the with that tonight. governor, ans as arizona's success, depends on the health of our state budget. one of you will inherit a budget crisis. don't take my word for it. that is what governor jan brewer said not too long ago. here is what one of you will face. the legislature's budget staff projects a $285 million deficit in

he was the ambassador from mexico to the united states. the we talked about the need for mexico to fulfill its obligation, to provide water to texas that texas deserves. you can tell he understood because you can see were mexico is today. they are growing economically and they know that part of their economic future is tied to the economic future of the state of texas. i think mexico wants to be a good partner. i think they want to see economic development flourish on both sides of the border and just like we worked with the president in 2004 to ensure that we got our access to the water from mexico, i think we can do it again. >> drought conditions have cost the rio grande valley millions of dollars. last year farmers had to turn hundreds of millions of dollars of crops as a consequence of that. ensuring enforcement of a 1944 water treaty with mexico is essential and as governor, i will create the relationship with mexico that fosters the kind of partnership that will foster that. as a state senator, i supported and was proud that voters s

particularly the islamic state. they don't worry about who they are anger, and they're going by the playbook that was used before 9/11, which is to carry out strikes against the u.s. persuading the u.s. to leave the idea of war all together or double down and put troops on the ground. i don't think it's a winning strategy for them. they would have been better off not provoking the united states. they'll suffer major losses as a consequence but nonetheless it's a strategy they're following. >> as the united states was getting out of iraq there were a lot of editorials talking about being really cautious about involving u.s. forces in middle eastern wars again. and here we are just really just a string of months later talking about revolving ourselves in that part of the world. should it be done with a great deal of hesitation, caution, care? >> you could argue this is not the fault of the sift for having withdrawn early. it's very much the iraqi government that reverse of the this which is i do not many have turned ag

the most the state ever pays a 10%. we will be able to afford that because of the growth that will occur because of the jobs it creates. 20,000 people having health care creates more jobs in the health care sector. any economist will value it will more than pay for itself. i am committed to protecting it and still, right here tonight, he will not give us a straight yes or no whether or not he supports these 200,000 working arkansans keeping their health insurance. look, i have a history of being bipartisan, and congress and hutchinson has a history of being partisan. "the national journal" consistently listed me as one of the most independent members of congress. i earned an a plus rating from the national rifle association. at a history of working with democrats and republicans to get the job done, and that is what i will do as governor. >> sit tight. >> you have another question? because he just unloads a barrage here. >> i will try and slow down a little, i apologize. >> you're going a little bit long. one, when you t

in the united states and that is a shame. that is part of the reason i ran. if i am elected i shalli appoin an independent state attorney. the corruption in our state has drawn national attention. i would call upon governor rounds to issue a memrandom of facts and that is what happened from his points of view before the election. a new senator will be vetted in their first year and if that senator is mike browns and he is vetted and there is something there it will hurt the people of south dakota because their senator will be crippled so we should have that before the election rather than after. >> rick weiland 60 seconds on eb-5. >> i came out early when this started saying i oppose it. sale of citizenship for half a million bucks doesn't square well with -- i know mike likes to talk about good old south dakota common sense. we are selling green cards to allow people to cut to the front of the line. it is not just people. it is foreign big money coming into the state and now we have this mess on our hands and it is unfortunat

but the united states and great britain couldn't even be matched. e war then ended not so much as a draw but as a stalemate that was born with the inability of confidence to find ways to continue conflict. having come to that point toward the end of 1814, both eventually settled for peace that restored the status quo and that peace was signed in 1814. we might even qualify that verdict a little further. we might say we won, but there were no losers in the war. all historians agree that the real losers in the war of 1812 were the indian peoples, a good many whom fought on the side of the british but a good number also fought on the side of the united states. americans tend to forget that it was their fault. despite all the choices, they suffered disproportionately. a number of casualties occurred and they were forced to concede large areas of land to the united states. these land sections, especially the gulf coast and regions to the south, ensured that the unite states was going to dominate the heartland in the future. i tell you that because this is

same with the united states. today, tolexibility understand the most complex statesbetween the united , that is the issue. there seems to be a readiness to understand each other and the meeting that takes place between the two foreign ministers are encouraging. see ann our interest to understanding between these two states. are there a rainy and iranian -- in in iraq schumer iraq? >> the first country that provided help for the refugees and those who were on top of the mountain was iran. iran provided humanitarian aid and i have to admit they also provided life lessons for the fighters in this mountain defending themselves >> and iranian advisors? >> i do not believe there is an advisor. >> one of the iranian generals out -- if he is around, let me see him, but he isn't. there are lyrical problems, but even if they were present to help, and there are many experts. we are asking for experts. >> thank you. my name is roland paul. one of the groups we would be interested to know is among the sunnis. sunnis do you exp

in my view, that does not assist the state. he accused version is that the ammunition belongs to his father and that he had no intention to possess it. the fact that there is no corroboration for the accused's version does not assist at all. accordingly, what the state needed to do was to introduce evidence to the contrary. it did not do so. the accused's version therefore remains uncontroverted. the state has failed to prove that the accused had the necessary animous to possess the ammunition. he therefore cannot be found guilty on this count. in conclusion i'd like to recap on the four counts that the accused has been found guilty of, count one in respect of count one the allegation was that the accused and the deceased had an argument, that the deceased ran and locked herself in the toilet and that the accused followed her there and fired shots at her through the locked door three shots struck her, and she died as a result. evidence led by the state in respect of this count was purely circumstantial. it was not strong circums

that son of boise, but not the rest of the state. what would you do for herself about issues facing agriculture in the magic valley and you have to take a stab at sharing what you the issues are? bujak: certainly. certainly i live in eagle and professionally worked in the traitor valley for a lot of years, i know i'm not going to sell you on the fact of agricultural guy. but the truth is i grew up looking task of changing type in the call. i worked at the jacklin treat company of programming for a while and so i know little bit about the day-to-day operations of agricultural goods are not an expert. for me, one thing i'm particularly worried about and goes hand-in-hand with goes hand-in-hand to probably have the federal government controlling too much idaho plans. we have to preserve and protect our rights and idaho. that is something that isn't given enough attention and has to be important when you think about continuing viability and agriculture. the snake river basin adjudication going on historically an important issue in idaho's

>> has the state department? >> having tripwires? >> yes. >> p when a trip wire is breach, meaning something bad has happened, that breach is the trigger to take specific action, is it not? >> at a minimum it is a, it is a warning that the post must review what has occurred and then determine whether action needs to be taken, at a minimum. >> take action, rather than just requiring that they set around and reevaluate the situation? >>mi well, sir, tripwires are written in advance of activities. we try to cover a wide variety of situations that could occur. predicting the future and exactly what your actions are going to be is very difficult. i think the purpose of tripwires really is to indicate, wait, happened.has just this could be significant. we need to consider whether or not we need to take action in this case. >> okay. >> as i said previously it was normally a post activity. now c once a trip wire is tripp, it is looked at both by the post and by the various sections in washington. >> would you consider a hole being blown in th

and it's not like fighting alongside of the state. but meeting a revolution that enables the islamic state. so as the media, we have done a bit of a disservice in supporting them as a group when there are other groups involved. >> that speaks to the fact that if baghdad and the central government were to get it's act together and be more inclusive, it could end up weakening islamic state. josh rushing for us in erbil, iraq. >>> the latest violence presented by the islamic state presents a huge challenge for the administration, and it may put pressure on the pressure. one of the things that josh is reporting, mike, is this disparate group of people, bands of warriors fighting the islamic state, they are bold and making advances because of the u.s. airstrikes, and they're a bit worried about what happens when that discontinues. >> and exactly, that's the fear of the administration here. the stumbling block if you will, to moderating and vetting the opposition, and when it comes to expanding those existing airstrikes happening over iraq a

the united states. again, not in the instance of being intimidated but being prepared to protect the people of the united states of america. like all americans, i was horrified, outraged and saddened by the bye headings of two american journalist, james foley and stephen sotloff by isis terrorists. they have used brutal remedies and tactics to expand control over iraq and syria, threatening the security of both countries. they have attacked, killed, kidnapped and displaced thousands of religious and ethnic minorities in the region, including christians and including small ethnic minority groups. u.s. officials have warned that syria-based terrorist extremists may also pose a direct threat to our homeland. one concern is that foreign fighters holding western passports might travel to this country to carry out a terrorist attack. additionally, our own u.s. citizens are known to have likewise left the united states and gone to the battlefield to perpetrate jihad. the total number of armed opposition fighter

or anyone can destroy the islamic state? ell, i think that -- i mean, you obviously can't destroy an ideology, but you can go after the individuals who have signed up for this ideology and who have taken the field. so, yes, i think you can because they have -- they represent a very small minority of the populations of the countries that they are in the midst of. there is a rising consensus amongst all the countries of the region and the peoples of the region that these people represent a direct threat in the region and internationally, and i think that an appropriate response by the countriess of te region in coordination with the united states and n.a.t.o. allies can and must result -- indeed, it doesn't seem to me we have must haveo a choice -- in defeat of these people. >> reporter: frederic wehrey? you're talking about a hybrid military force sweeping across territories, so you can restrain that capability. but undercutting this movement's ideology is going to be a long-term, perhaps even generational process. you're real

in the next month, he comes back to the united states and gets a meeting with the secretary of state nd delivers the briefing on the submarine situation which made such a big impact. the department tried again to get him confirmed as consulate in switzerland. he is rejected and is made of vice consulate in zÜrich where he is able to maintain his german contacts. now, mcnally's reporting was remarkably rich and nuanced and appeared to answer a lot of american intelligence needs. of 1917, he reported to washington about the details of a number random -- memorandum. urging unrestricted warfare which give a lot of insight into german strategic thinking. of 1917, and he submitted a lengthy report on the food situation in germany and the variety of tidbits. andsinking of the lusitania german estimates of allied shipping they sunk every month. ok -- uary 1918 -- perhaps we should carry on. the german chancellor has restored for the sake of peace. should we pause? ok. we will carry on. in june of 1918, he reported the nine submarines that left the americand for the coast and he gave the names

-- to saudi arabia to fighting the islamic state. >> based on the secretary of state's movements and travels lately? >> yes, that's certainly, that the u.s. talks a lot about bridging this divide. because the war in syria and to a certain extent the war in iraq have become proxy battles between shia iran and sunni saudi arabia. you listen to president obama's speech in the next few minutes and his statement on sunday morning. and actually what the united states is more concerned about is a sunni sunni divide. basically you have not had unanimity against islamic state group which is of course sunni. what the u.s. is hoping to come out of saudi arabia, to come out of the eun eunt united arab emi, that the united states provides a greater threat to their countries than shia iran has historically. that is a shift and that is when the u.s. wants these countries to respond to the president's peach by saying yes we take this mantle we now believe that there is american leadership that they can hold onto, that they can follow essentially in the middle east, the u.s. is focused on the mid

he told antonio mora about the threat. islamic stateup, and the importance of building a coalition. >> in particular, as the president noted, the muslim people, the sunni dominated monarchies in the gulf region, others as well, have to step up and make clear their views in opposition to the groups. and make clear that they are prepared to undertake the effort to join in the effort with others. there'll be ground forces, iraqi forces that have not performed well. kiddish forces, and there are others in the region on which we can rely for intelligence, resources and so forth. >> and you can watch "consider this" with antonio mora, week nights 10 eastern, 7 pacific. >>> one of the fears surrounding the islamic state group is whether westerners who join it will launch an attack against their own countries, we are talking about people born in the united states with american passports who come and go freely, and more from lisa stark. >> foreign fighters are raising alarm bells. they are sa significant security concern, according to testimony

the islamic state in syria? at is interesting. they have an official argument in the official argument is that in iraq the actual government in baghdad is calling on the united states and on the european union and any member of the united nations to join and fight. so while in syria the regime doesn't want that unless they will become allies with them. but there is another reason here. they have concerned that if they enter the fray of fighting in syria that a catastrophe could happen and hezbollah will respond and they will get entangled in an issue with the iranians that they don't want to do. lou: a confrontation with the iranians that are demanding now if these reports are correct, a quid pro quo, and that is that they will join in the fight in him fashion against islamic state if the united states and european powers permit them to become a member of the nuclear weapons club. do you think that that is actually a workable possibility? and secondly, do you think it would be a wise course to follow? >> what a m

the case was tried in the united states supreme court. at the heart of the case is the indian child welfare act, or icwa, which mandates that every effort be made to keep native children with their relatives or tribe. congress passed icwa in 1978 in response to an alarmingly high number of native children being removed from their homes and placed with non-native families - the tie to their cultures and communities severed in the process. 35 years later, the fundamental protections of the law are still being fought for. >> the requirements of that act apply from the minute indian parents and indian kids walk into the courtroom and it's just not happening. here in south dakota, native children are only 13 percent of the children in the state but more than 50 percent of those in foster care. and the majority are placed with non-native families, in group homes or institutions. >> we welcome you to beautiful pine ridge south dakota, where leaders are born. for the lakota people here, the issue isn't just about child custody, it's about cultural

basis of the state of california we've got to manage this impending disaster we're experts in disaster preparedness and management i want to thank the governor mark for hosting this recreational meeting >> thank you all how are stakeholders in this to be working and sharing information with each other as an entire region. san francisco while we will do our best we have to work in concert with the north bay arresting and all regions this is not going to go away we've not be lucky like maybe in the world series or something where we can count on someone else's failure to be our success we have to make our own success we're doing our best in san francisco. since 2007 our san francisco government agencies have reduced water by 20 percent but still that's not enough i've called for on ailed 10 percent because if we are going to have some serious conversations with our businesses before i do that before i indicate to them what we need from them and they are the biggest water yourselves in our city we have to demonstrate ou

the assistant deputy of secretary of state. todd keil is the second and the third is mark sullivan the chair of the independent panel on best practices. i am pleased to report that we have made tremendous progress on the 29 independent benghazi accountability review board recommendations. to date, we have closed 22 would you >> would you pull the mike a little. >> we are required to operate in dangerous places we identify the risks and take the proper steps to mitigate them. the department has made important strides in that regard. i would like to highlight a few examples of how we are implementing the recommendations including giving the resources they need. with this progress, it is still essential for us to acknowledge that while we can do everything we can to reduce the risk, we can never eliminate it fully. high threat, high risk post require special attention to con firm our national interest and require us to operate there and provide the right resources to do that. we have instituted a new process called the vital valida

but the islamic state sees it as all one thing. the islamic state ruled by baghdadi. d now he has professed himself to be the leader of all muslims around the world. where does this take us? the days ahead? we have no way to know. but tonight we know the opening salvo has happened just before the early morning hours in syria american drops. syria >>> it's 10:30 on the east coast. 7:30 on the west coast. i'm shepherd smith in new york and this is fox news channel's continuing coverage of the new war against isis or the islamic state now not only in iraq but beginning tonight also in syria beginning tonight also in syria. the united states targeted some 20 different locations, hard targets as bret baier put them, fuel depots, weapons depots, command and control headquarters, according to the tweets that we're getting out of the region isis headquarters right there in the city of raqqa. raqqa the city first overtaken by the first provincial capital at least overtaken by the islamic state when they marched into sir in march of 2013. since then there have been public amputa

the most the state ever pays a 10%. afford thatble to because of the growth that will occur because of the jobs it creates. 20,000 people having health care creates more jobs in the health care sector. any economist will value it will more than pay for itself. i am committed to protecting it and still, right here tonight, he will not give us a straight yes or no whether or not he supports these 200,000 working arkansans keeping their health insurance. look, i have a history of being bipartisan, and congress and hutchinson has a history of being partisan. "the national journal" consistently listed me as one of the most independent members of congress. i earned an a plus rating from the national rifle association. at a history of working with democrats and republicans to get the job done, and that is what i will do as governor. >> sit tight. >> you have another question? because he just unloads a barrage here. >> i will try and slow down a little, i apologize. >> you're going a little bit long. one, when you talk about bip

we are going to restore trust in our state so that the people can trust their state government. >> i want to give the governor 30 seconds to respond. >> the charge that my office does not provide equal pay for equal work is categorically untrue. it seems to me a little cynical that you would discover equity for women after an 11-year history in the legislature where a few of your votes have suggested that. >> we are going to move on to our closing statements. representative richardson, you will have the first closing statement. >> oregon is a wonderful state. consider, you and your family -- take yourself back 170 years ago and you wanted an opportunity and you hear about oregon, a place where there is tall timber and deepest soil and lots of land, a place where you can plan your route and provide a legacy for your kids and grandkids. we call these people pioneers. if you were that family and you put everything you had a wagon and you start walking, 2200 miles. you want an opportunity him a legacy of freedom for your family and for generations to come. that is what we inherited. we d

, issues that impact the whole state. and serve the institutions in a way that -- in terms of shared resources in helping them more effectively and cost effectively deal with some of the issues that are common to all of them. we represent each of these institutions in the capital, it's a collaborative effort on issues related to state legislation or federal legislation. >> and you reference the $6 billon an ynual kbugt for the university of wisconsin systems, state funding makes up gifts grants and contracts at about 5 billion dlrds. the impacts, $15 billion plus annually. what does that mean, this economic impact? >> most economic analysis, that impact in terms of what it duds to the economy throughout the state, it has an impact of what we purchase and how other higher and how that money play into the economy. to that's more or less a direct and indirect impact of those expenses on the economy in the region. >> and we want to hear from wisconsin residents this morning. we have a fourth line set aside for them. we have di

the state called two witnesses for this count. namely samantha taylor, former girlfriend of the accused, and darren frisco, who is a friend of the accused. both these witnesses were present in the vehicle when the incident referred to in this count occurred. ms. taylor's evidence briefry was that she, darren and the accused were returning from a visit one afternoon, when the vehicle it that were traveling in was stopped by traffic officers for speeding. fresco was the driver at the time, while the traffic officer was writing an infringement ticket, the accused, who occupied the front passenger seat, stepped out of the vehicle to see what was happening with fresco. a second officer had in the meantime walked to the front passenger seat where the accused had left his firearm. the officer picked it up, asking whose it was and where the onlier -- and whether the owner had a license, and in the process ejected a bullet into the vehicle. the accused returned and had a verbal altercation with the officer. after they searched for and found

dignity of the states the modern court is doing exactly what john marshal said they shouldn't do are basically exulting a pre-civil war states rights. >> is interesting, the thing is really, they do not explain why this doctrine makes any sense except they want some of them to use the word dignity which in one of john's marshall's opinions he specifically rejected dignity as a justification. >> host: that's remarkable. i was really struck by that. you talk about nonpartisanship and neutrality and that has been a theme of your jurisprudence in arguing that political gerrymandering should be challenged in arguing in favor of campaign finance reform. you believe that the state is a fundamental duty to act impartially and in a nonpartisan manner. tell me where that belief came from. >> i think that's the best way to address the equal protection clause. imposed on the states a duty not to favor one segment of society or one group over another. if you focus on that central requirement it really makes things awfully easy, at least it does to me a

stop the islamic state group. art of it will be to cut off its financing. one of the biggest weapons is money. some of the funds are provided to groups fighting on the ground. saudi arabia, turkey and qatar have been accused of funding terrorism. now al jazeera's is head quartered in qatar, and partially funded by the government. tonight we focus on qatar. at first glass qatar hardly seems the place that would be a big player in the region. it's one of the tiniest countries in the middle east, population 2 million, but only a quarter of them are actual citizens. but qatar exports more than $100 billion worth of oil and gas every year. when measured in terms of gdp that translates into $85,000 a person. 60% higher than in the united states. all that money gives this small country a disproportionate presence on the global stage, and analysts say qatar actively maintains good relationships with opposing sides in the region's myriad conflicts. >> the goal here has been for the countries to use their vast wealth to buy

the islamic state took responsibility for the attack. camp is home to the iraqi forces battling the islamic state fighters in tikrit and have seen fierce clashes as the i.s. have tried to take control of the army base. >>> the cia is saying the islamic state group has three times more fighters than previously thought. u.s. officials believe that i.s. could have as many as 30,000 fighters. we take a look at how the group has been able to recruit so many. >> reporter: they are well armed and well financed, rising to permanence after capturing several towns and cities across northern syria and iraq, but it's their brutality that has made them notorious worldwide. and now the cia says the group known as the islamic state is growing. initially their numbers were estimated at around 10,000, but now the cia says that more than 30,000 men could be fighting under their banner. despite several governments identifying them as a mediate threat, there appears to be little agreement or clarity as to how and why the group has grown so quickly. some exp
