i think if we think about the situation in the united states tenures at our own civil war, there are still a lot of tensions and in liberia there are a lot of tensions between people groups and society in general and there is a sense of distrust of government and distrust of authority and distrust of foreigners, so yes, people will be resisted to help. but i think because of the devastation of this outbreak, even those people that have been resistant to help are starting to see the need for some assistance, and i think that's why it is important that we just don't march in there with our military and to take over, but we partner with the ngos and the administrative health of liberia so that it is a partnership and we are using people that are survivors fare. there are more and more survivors every day in places where they can get good supportive care. those survivors are the ones i can go out and what you refer to culturally in a culturally appropriate way, educate the communities and distribute the personal protective equipment to protect the home care providers and i think that tha

united states. the only african-american to be attorney general of the united states today announced his retirement from the job. his tenure in office during his tenure in office he got republicans so upset, so overexcited and overwhelmed with their emotional hate tread with him that things with eric holder like with reno they sometimes didn't just get over the top, they sometimes got weird and hard to follow. >> you don't have access to the fbi files. you don't know what the fbi did. you don't know what the fbi's interaction was with the russians. i know what the fbi did. you cannot know what i know. that's all. >> well, thank you, mr. chairman. and that is simply the reason -- i did not assert what they did or did not do. i asserted what -- i cannot have -- >> order. >> challenge my character. >> mr. chairman, regular order. >> gentlemen. >> when you attack somebody's integrity and say they made statements that were not true, then, of course, that is -- raises a point of personal privilege but the attorney general failed to answer my question -- >> the general will suspend -- >> regular order, mr. chairman. >> aspersions

united states forces prematurely moved out of that region. so we're -- were we forewarned? we absolutely were forewarned. and it isn't just the administration. we also knew during george w. bush's tenure as president of the united states, the foreign policy establishment, the military establishment, also knew. there is a clip that's gone on youtube recently of president george w. bush in 2007 and i read exactly verbatim what the president said july 12, 2007. george w. bush warned the nation then, it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda if the united states completely removed ourselves from iraq. it would mean that we'd be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we'd allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq, to replace the one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean increasing the probability that american troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. it is beyond belief the statement that was made by george w. bush back in july 12 of 2007. it is as though the president had most accurately described exactly what president obama will address tomorrow night. by his ill-made decision in 201

united states. he is popular here. he had a sometimes troubled tenure during his six years as attorney general. he is the only a.g. to be censured by the house over so-called fast and furious, a thing operation that sent a legal guns to drug dealers -- illegal guns to drug dealers to bust them. one of his biggest supporters is d.c. congresswoman eleanor holmes norton. >> he took a lot of licks for the president for fast and furious, which had nothing to do with this administration. in some respects, he was a stand-in for the president. >> he has done a lot of good, and unfortunately he kind of had a negative image from republicans in congress who did not like the initiatives he was pushing. >> that was one of the people attending this particular conference. a lot of republicans have long called for his resignation, but here at the congressional black caucus, which is virtually all democrats, he was extremely popular. live from northwest washington, sam ford, abc 7 news. >> as we mentioned, the president is expected to formally announce holder's resignation at 4:30. we will bring you that live a

as you look over your tenure and the state of policing in the united states, give us your sense of what you think about race and policing in this country. where do we need to go on that issue. i think that there is the need -- we always say this, i said the starting in 2009, in the great hall, i talked about the need for a conversation in this country about race. i think there is still that need, but i think we need to go beyond that and come up with concrete ways in which we are going to move this country forward and deal with these issues and understand there are communities that feel discriminated against. that senseases for of alienation and we hope to come up with concrete ways in which to deal with that. law-enforcement is just the part of the larger society. there are flashpoints that come up every now and again that i think .2 problems but i want to make clear the vast majority of people in law enforcement, the vast majority of leased departments do their job and away we would expect. to the extent there are problems, we as a society need to have the guts to say we are going to

most meaningful legislation that the vice president feels that he sponsored in his entire tenure the united states senate and rightfully so. the video that was revealed last week, we learn again how critical it is that we never give up the fight and that focus on makingoe us on sure that the mechanisms of government, that the protections, that the violence against women act has afforded women continue to be necessary we we also make sure that fight to enhance them so he we canprovide those protectionso everybody who needs them. and the vice president has been leader in that fight for decades. we made progress but we know we more to do. joe biden's leadership not only on the violence against women many otherrish somehows in foreign policy, privacy rights, healthcare, in being a champion for people who have no voice, for the middle class, for working families and for people most of all who need amplified. he is a treasure. a national treasure. and i don't think -- [applause] i wore aa reason that joe biden for president button though we pack even had a different nominee. he has been tireless in help

for him that no matter how hard he tries to get the united states out of the swamp, there is no possible way that's going to happen during his tenure. and obviously, in part because he has wanted to get out for understandable reasons, by the way. he wanted to get out of micromanaging the middle east. he probably has not paid sufficient attention to the years leading up to where we are right now. there may have been some sort of difference. right now he's in this mode of, you know what? i have to stop the islamist state and isis. unfortunately, this is where we are. one of the things the president has realized as there is no substitute for american leadership in the middle east. the israelis and the egyptians were looking at it without american participation. the arab emirates decided to launch attacks on libya without american involvement. that scared a lot of people in washington that the leaders are making their own decisions now because they're going to go freelance, go rogue to make it even more dangerous. there is a realization even on people who do not want to realize that there is no substitute for american organization, ame

and this cast a cloud over negroponte's tenure in the eyes of many of his critics in the united stateswhat is rather peculiar about what happened to his reputation was that what was going on in el salvador at this time totally dwarfed anything that took place in honduras. the american ambassador in el salvador was a man named dean hinton who was totally forgotten by history. the united states assisted the government of el salvador which was headed by josÉ, and he turned over armaments to death squads who are headed by a man, and in the ensuing civil war there were something like 100,000 dead salvadorans, loves almost all of them on the rebel side. at one point the army did a sweep through the countryside. and there was a massacre in el salvador at a village called -- i forget the name of the village, but at any event, the ambassador to el salvador was asked to comment on and he said he didn't think anything untoward had happened. negroponte was asked to comment on it and said, well, in fact, it was an unusual flight of refugees across the border so something must have happened. elliott

united states now enforces were started in california. >> governor brown credited the leadership of former governors ronald reagan and arnold schwarzenegger for raising climate change awareness during their tenure. as you saw, governor schwartz naiger was in the capitol for the unveiling of his official gubernatorial portrait. the life-like portrait was painted by an austrian artist well known for his realistic portraits, including celebrities like andy warhol, john f. kennedy, and mohammad ali. governor schwarzenegger's portrait will be on display on the third floor of the state capitol. >>> anticipation continues to build. the world is awaiting apple's big announcement tomorrow. it's expected that at 10:00 a.m., apple will unveil the new iphone 6. the announcement hill take place at the flint center for the performing arts in cupertino. ebay said it's seen a 30% increase in people selling old iphones on its website this week as consumers get ready to buy the newest addition of apple's smartphone. >> what consumer in this room might want that new phone? who's interested in technology? >> jeff? >> jeff ranieri. >> good guess. but you know, i just got the 5 recently. it's an old problem, now her

united states coming in. can your organization build the trust with the local authorities and build the trust we need? >> we can in liberia where we'rer are active and have there from the beginning of president johnson's tenuretries, they will have to work with the local health ministries and the local people which is why it's encouraging to me that we may have an african coordinator who will have, i think, a lot of credibility working with the overall u.n. coordinator and the world health organization and everybody else. i think, by and large, doctors without borders deserves an enormous amount of credit because they have put their lives at risk and put everything into it. so many people have gone there to serve, and now that partners in health is going in, the partners in health is my partner in africa and they've done a lot of work in ever cay and have a very good name. we're going to, i think, see a big ramp up, and i think, in liberia, i saw a news story which interviewed people on the street who were really thrilled the american government and the military were going to invest in goindoing. this we have been working in africa with the military since i was president, and there's an africa command now an

as his tenure goes on in history, had he tried his plan to trial sheik in federal court in the united states, by now, islamists, those guys would be tried, convicted and tucked neatly away in a federal prison somewhere. because he was turned back, instead, their cases continue to language and be a spectacle of how we don't nope what we want to do with them. attorney genric holder's list of accomplishments is a long list. on civil rights in particular, he's going to be remembered not just for what the department of justice did under his leaders p leadership, but for his willingness to speak bluntly and personally about civil rights and race. >> the news of trayvon martin's death last year reminded me of my father's words so many years ago. and they brought me back to a number of experiences i had as a young man when i was pulled over twice and my car zensearched one new jersey turnpike when i'm sure i wasn't speeding. or while i was stopped by a police officer when i was running to catch a movie at night in georgetown in washington, d.c. i was, at the time of that last incident, a federal pro

a short time ago the united states was number one. during my tenure in congress a couple years ago, number one in the world in supercomputing. i want to maintain that we move forward and become number one again. we cannot let the chinese or any other nation lead us in this -- lead us in this fight or beat us in this fight. it is critically important. why is exascale and supercomputing very important? i've actually seen these room fulls of computers. it is critically important to our economic security as a nation. all members of this great house want america to be great again, and supercomputing is going to lead the way. this is an economic security issue as every area of our economy is dependent on this. banking, manufacturing, health care, commerce and communication are all critically dependent on supercomputing. . i urge my colleagues for their strong support of h.r. 2495, the american supercomputing leadership act. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. geno smith mr. speaker, i yield back the balan

as you look over your tenure and the state of policing in the united states, give us your sense of what you think about race and policing in this country. where do we need to go? that there is the need for -- i've said this 2009, talking about the need for a conversation in this country about race. i think there is still that need. and you need to go beyond that. we need to come up with concrete ways in which we are going to move this country forward and deal with these issues, understanding that there are communities who feel discriminated against. there are bases for that sense of alienation. we have to come up with concrete ways in which we are going to deal with that. law enforcement is just a part of the larger society. there are flashpoints that, every now and again that i think point of problems that we have to deal with, but i want to make clear that the vast majority of people who are in law enforcement, the vast majority of police departments do their job in a way that we would expect, but to the extent that there are problems, we as a society need to have the guts to say, we

that no matter how hard he tries to get the united states out of the swamp, out of the morass, there's no possible way that that is going to happen during his tenure. you know, and obviously, in part because he's wanted to get out for understandable reasons, by the way, wanted to get out of micromanaging the middle east. he hasn't probably paid sufficient attention in the years leading up to where we are right now. and you know, there's obviously a big argument in washington about whether more attention paid over the past three or four years, three years with the syrian civil war in particular might have had some, made some sort of difference. but right now he's in this mode of saying, you know what, i've got to stop islamic state, isis. and unfortunately, this is where we are. i'm not going to, you know, achieve greatness here. but i'm going to try to keep things from getting worse. i think that's the way i would put it. >> rose: he said the united states is going to lead this. what does that mean. >> one of the things i think the president has realized over the past month is there is no substitute for american leadership in the middle east. in t

tenure. how certain are you at this point given how much is predicated on the success of this government? how sure can the united states these kind of matters, you can can never be certain about anything. so we judge people by what they say and what they do and the new iraqi government so far has said the right things and done the right things. i do think that from our conversations with them, secretary kerry was there the day after they formed the new government, they understand the threat whether it's the sunni, the shia and the kurds they understand the best way to come together and fight isil is to bring their citizens together, to get them invested in the government and to do this as one country because again, this is a threat they know they have not faced before. >> i want to talk really quickly about an issue that seems to have plagued the administration since the beginning of all of this which is whether or not we are at war. we play the sound of your boss sort of beginning to tackle that issue. you've called it a war. >> i have. other people in the administration has called it a war. the president has not call

tenure when the news is good. it's not janet yellen. it's the horrendous economic atr change. i see down shifting everywhere in the world except for the united statesit's not like we're in acceleration mode. we're growing more slowly than a couple of months ago. without more personal income we can't get more savings and without more savings we can't get the mutual fund fuel that allows them to keep their old merchandise at the same time. the next leg of the market up and down depends on supply. specifically holding ipos back from the market. if it continues into the historically tough month of october then we'll have more days of defeat than a victory for the bulls for as long as the deal parade continues. in other words it's not the fed. it's the supply of new stock and it's not going away. it's increasing. stick with cramer. >>> okay. when you're looking for the types of stocks that should be bought during the volatility which we used to call whipsaw what you want are great domestic companies that are not being impacted by all these different problems overseas. i hear a lot of people say they're worried about hong kong. i came back with kroger. i

tenure as attorney general which has not ended. let's just make that clear. it has not ended. [ applause ] >> i woke up today and i'm still the attorney general of the united states. >> holder spoke today at the congressional black caucus foundation's 44th annual legislative conference in phoenix. he announced his resignation yesterday but plans to stay on until his successor is confirmed. >>> the paparazzi is in a frenzy in venice, italy over long time hollywood bachelor george clooney's big wedding weekend. >> the actor is in italy right now. so are more than 100 a-list wedding guests. >> i missed that invitation. >> we don't qualify. >> we have a preview. >> reporter: the happy couple spotted together in venice, italy. george clooney and his bride to be, amil alamudin being wisked away to a luxury hotel ahead of their weekend wedding extravaganza. >> this is highly anticipated only because this is one that we kind of never thought was going to happen. >> reporter: a reported 150 a-list wedding guests include brad pitt and angelina jolie, matt damon, sandra bullock and bono. the paparazzi is staking out the area. to catch the arrivals. >> we are waiting for all

tenures in the obama administration. >> there he is yesterday in the east room next to the president of the united states.e called it quits. he didn't want to stick around much longer. he said our list of accomplishments is real. he said that the president -- the president at one point said eric holder approached him over the summer and said six years is a pretty good run. so the question is, why exactly is eric holder calling it quits right now? part of the conventional wisdom is the president didn't want to go through the fact that if the republicans take the senate, then he would have tough -- instead brian terry's sister, brian terry was gunned down in the fast and furious scandal, she has a theory. >> i do not find it a coincidence that eric holder chose to resign now after judge baits decided to delay the release of the fast and furious documents. i think eric holder was hoping the documents would never be made public. >> he could also say after six years of so much else going on maybe i can get out the backdoor without people focusing on some of the most controversial things that i've been a part o

tenure has undermined people's belief in the objective application of the rule of law. that's the most sacred thing we have. it's more important than democracy or any other civic fact of the united states. the blind application of the rule of law. that's our gift to the world. when you start to dilute that and under mine it, you are playing with fire. bill: what happened to the contempt of congress charge? >> nothing. i think it conveys to the next attorney general. it doesn't follow holder run something foundation and possibly getting tea pointed to the supreme court, we'll see. bill: early on there was speculation you have got to do it now in case you lose the senate. what is your view on that, tucker? >> i'm with the chairman. you never lose money betting for the political motivations of eric holder. but i don't know what it is in this case. bill: we are going to monitor his speech at a black caucus event. tucker carlson. we'll catch you saturday morning. fox and friends weekend. he will be there. martha: police leaving no stone unturned in the hunt for a suspect two weeks after the man allegedly ambushed two state troopers, killing one of them. but are they getting closer to him no

since barack obama has been president of the united states for the first time in our nation's history, it's never ever happened before in any president's tenure, whether it was four or eight or shortened by tragedy, no president before rack obama has ever presided over an economy in the united of all the ch 95% income in the united states went only this 1% president has brought us to 95% of the income in america goes to the top 1%. and people wonder why there is so much money that flooded into the obama campaign in 2008. nots much flooded into his campaign in 2012, because, you know, there was some people losing money, the economy wasn't doing as well as expected. anything more devastating than a president acknowledging the fact, 95% of all income gone to the top 1%. and then he gives speeches and talks to people like he can't understand how the republicans could allow this big growth between the poor and the rich. well, we need the president to tell us how he's done it. but the trouble is we know how he's done it. he talks about fat cats. and then makes sure they are the ones that get rewarded. he talks about going after big oil and proposes

tenure as attorney general which has not ended. okay? let's just make that clear. it has not ended. i woke up today and i was still the attorney general of the united states. i am deeply proud of all that we have achieved together. although my time at the justice department will draw to a close in the coming months, once my successor has been nominated and confirmed, i want you to know that my commitment to this work -- my commitment to this work -- will never waver. in the meantime there remains i think a great deal that needs to be done. i have no intention of letting up. i have no intention of slowing down. i am honored to discuss our ongoing efforts with you once again today. i am proud as ever to stand with sole. dedicated public servants devoted advocates, and passionate leaders of our ongoing fight for equal rights and for equal justice. i particularly would like to thank the congressional black caucus foundation for organizing this important event and for your decades of selves in our struggle to secure the civil rights of everyone, everyone, in this country.ves in our struggle to secure the civil rights of everyone, everyone, in this country.rves
