also his personal popularity is at 41% as welch that's something the president used to be able to relylitical capital, that he was just so well liked. what we saw in the course of this poll is the populist theme, just how broadly americans are disillusioned by what's taking place in washington, that 41% number is approaching numbers that president bush had approaching the 2006 midterm elections. i think advertise number was roughly 37% at that time. of course, republicans went on to lose both the house and senate. the conversation the white house is going to have to address in briefings like the one that jay carney, the press secretary is beginning right now is exactly what the holdup has really been in terms of those financial, those economic sanctions, whether they're waiting until after the referendum or they're going to do them before. what the real strategy is here is they try to give diplomacy a chance. but putin -- vladimir putin clearly doesn't seem to be moved by that. >> some low numbers reflecting on the foreign policy side. peter alexander, thank you so much. we've heard ab

they attacked the police unconstitutionally deposed an elected leader a blogger and activist daniel welch tells us it's not the law but rather western interests that only guide america's foreign policy. this is their stock in trade is a passive oh it's legitimate crimea is not sanctioned money and the city of western leaders is just mind blowing and what happens is you have this bottle in washington and these lackeys in the e.u. states they don't care about international law they care about their interests and so that's why crimea has to be illegitimate because they don't want it is that's all the others. i made events in crimea there is also a cry for self-determination from the heart of europe if police in northern region vanessa has plans to break away from rome saying it's tired of the financial burden from the capital. and still to come for you the u.s. did rails diplomacy with syria washington forces damascus to shut its embassy and consulates in a spot which could end the chances of a diplomatic solution to syria's crisis. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the see

and you are danny welch son washington shouldn't be offering lectures while it's in gauged in armed conflicts worldwide. but there is no question either under the ninety ninety four agreement under any sense of moral duty any sense of national pride or simply as a matter of being the power in the region that has the power to prevent chaos there is no question that russia is within her rights to protect these people in this way absolutely no question the only people who can shriek about international law ironically are the people who have been violating it without cease for at least the last fifteen years flagrantly and on view for all the world it is surreal absolutely surreal for the secretary of state of the united states to say that a country doesn't have the right to be other countries without pretext when. right at the moment his own government is involved in up to a dozen countries the whole world thinks that it sounds crazy except for the western press. washington threats of sanctions might be top to keep given the science and clout of russia's economy and marina cost has been looking

general welch knows more than i do but we will cover it and .over it we will keep the global hawk blocking both fleets would be terrific. but we are above the validated requirements for high altitude reconnaissance. this was a choice that we felt we could assume some risk. these are the reapers and the predators. we said we would go to 65 of these. at 50.we are over time, we will retire the predators. we will preserve combat capability and make each taxpayer dollar count in the future. which leaves me -- leads me to the third priority. how are we going to ensure that going forward? there is a whole host of areas here. audite to work toward ability. and another round of base closure authority beginning in 2017. there is a lot of initiative we have to make every dollar count for the taxpayer. we will be cutting our headquarters. they gave us a goal of getting it done over five years. it is not necessarily 20% of the people. we will get it done more quickly. hopefully we will do a little bit better than 20%. we will do things a little bit differently and do better than that 20%. we wantede

welch for five minutes. >> thank you very much. appreciate the hearing and appreciate all the witnesses. you know, there's a lot of good things that are happening. the programming's never been better. that's what most people say and a lot of my constituents say. the choices have never been wider. but the cost has never been higher. that's the real challenge. and that's what i'm hearing about from a lot of folks in vermont. i know that's true for all of us here. the consumer just doesn't have much control other than to just pull the plug which is not what we want them to face. i'm wondering just quickly, is there anything in the satellite re-authorization bill that's going to start addressing the cost which, according to the f.c.c. statistics, is going up about twice the rate of inflation every year? just quickly, is there anything? >> the u.s. house gavels in momentarily for its legislative session but you can continue to watch our live coverage of this house energy subcommittee earing online at c-span.org. >> while this invasion c
