introduced by my friends in the house of representatives, congresswoman louise slaughter and congressman tim walls. i want to thank them for their long-standing advocacy and attention to this cause. i want to thank senator lieberman and all the committee members for their work in acting swiftly to move this commonsense bill to the floor for a vote. i also want to thank leader reid for his leadership in moving this body forward to this important debate for an up-or-down vote that the american people deserve. our bill which has received the support of at least seven good government groups covers two important principles -- first, members of congress, their families and their staffs should be barred from buying or selling securities on the basis of knowledge gained through their congressional service or from using the knowledge to tip off anyone else. the s.e.c. and the cftc must be empowered to investigate these cases to provide additional teeth. such action would also be in violation of congress' own rules to make it clear that the activity is inappropriate. and second, members should be required t

system not get along and go along with everything you want to press me that you're going after wall street fire tim geithner get some real regulators and as you see we're going to force those laws instead of slapping financial institutions on the west with an easily affordable fine i think the rhetoric needs to match the action and the rhetoric sounds great right now i'm waiting for the actually taken well i wouldn't hold your breath if the past few years have been any indication and my question i guess as someone like you what do you do i mean do you stop voting and completely remove yourself from the political system do you go for the lesser of two evils when it comes to whether it's the president or a local candidates i mean what do you do when the system is as it is and you want change and you don't want to completely tune out. well to me i think the worst thing individuals can do is not vote i think by not voting we empower the special interests that want to dominate our democracy and at the same time i tell people local politics matters a lot and those elections are often decided by you know

i appreciate the leadership of my colleague from minnesota, tim walls, over in the house, who spearhead pedestrian the bill in the senate as well as the work of my colleagues including senator gillibrand and senator brown who have shown leadership in moving this issue forward. mr. president, no one is above the law in this country. least of all the lawmakers. at a time when americans are crying out for leaders who are willing to put public interest before political gain, the stock act presents a rare opportunity for both parties to come together and pass a bill that not only makes for good policy but that is very simply the right thing to do. over the last three years, we've worked to restore accountability and integrity to the major institutions in this country. we've worked to rein in recklessness on wall street. we've enforced greater accountability in federal budgets. and in 2007, we passed historic reforms to strengthen congressional ethics laws. but i'm standing here today because we can and must do more. those of us who have the privilege of writing the rules have a responsibilit

governor and presidential candidate tim pawlenty, thank you for being here and appreciate you being with us. let's start at this point. there's justified anger at wall street. you know, we bail out bankruptcy and financial institutions and insurance companies and they give the bonuses to themselves and misappropriate the money so i think there's palpable anger, but i think, but in this case, i think it's a little different scenario. why would you argue that, for example, governor perry was on tonight is wrong, vulture capitalism comment? >> a number of things, let's tip the cap to mitt romney. a historical victory tonight. no none has won in iowa and new hampshire, ever. he just did something that no other candidate ever did and leading in the polls in south carolina and florida, don't take anything for granted, but that's an incredible compelling achievement. >> sean: and for a candidate, and give him his due. . >> he's in very good position and you're right this never happened before, we're not taking away from it. >> not you, but others have. aen let me say this, mitt romney understands the private economy. wall street was reckless, irresponsible

be a fly on the wall, tomorrow they will reportedly try to decide who they will support in the republican primary. >>> one very specific point of light in the religious right panthoen, tim la hay, the books about the rapture, mr. left behind, the obama is the anti-christ guy i got to interview once. he endorsed newt gingrich for president. he sent a letter to south carolina religious leaders urging them to unite behind newt gingrich's candidacy. having the best chance of beating president barack obama. his letter said if we do not change our leaders in the next election, we will end up being like the godless socialist countries of europe that will so destroy our country in four years, many experts believe we will never be able to reclaim it for moral and physical sanity. i don't understand the last part, either and i don't know who the experts are who agree with him. but, i should also note that tim also says that jerry falwell is endooring newt gingrich. endorsing. jerry falwell is dead but tim says in this letter that before jerry falwell died, he told him "speaker newt gingrich is the most qualified man in america to run as president of the united states." mr. gingri

it's the juxtaposition of republicans remitting wall street and president obama says forget the fact that i'm holding hands with tim geithner and all the goldman people in the administration. i'm the one fighting for the middle class and taking on the banking industry. despite the feelings of dodd-frank, we'll hear defense of it because if you elect anyone else, you'll see the repeal of dodd frank and back to the wild days of banking deregulation which never happened and we won't deal with the causes of the financial crisis, but the other side of that is if republicans get the white house, the public, we all need to hold them accountable to twaim -- actually do and address the causes of the financial crisis. dodd-frank did not do it and repealing it while absolutely necessary is insufficient. we have to go forward. we need market discipline. to me, if you try to achieve one single thing with financial reform is you have to bring back market discipline on the part of creditors. they must believe their money is at risk, and the importance of this is that a properly freely functioning financial market, the price of bo
