if we can avoid it, i would. i would say that i found that to be the toughest part of the job. it is -- that is when it gets personal and with people, like scott, who i knew had given a lot in public service and the reward you give them should not slip.abrupt pink house,s inside the white -- there are not many more important jobs in the planet and you have to fill them with the best possible people at every moment. >> speaking of the media, what is that you of the -- what is of the wrangling over plame,ve, valerie itlowcake --how did you see -- how did you see it? role in thetle underlying activity because i was the budget director at the time and kind of removed from those sorts of political considerations and activities. but, you could have, if you set the senior staff cable, if you sat at-- the senior staff cable, you could not not be affected by it. going through a very difficult that i think -- that, i think, was ill- conceived, at best. is a had been -- it complicated story -- i'm trying to boil it down. -- i have forgotten the name of valerie plame's husband -- >> joe wi

, i would get all of the democrats together and we would refuse to pass any spending bill until we got what we wanted? if that led to a government shut down because they refuse to let my bill pass, what would they do if i commanded a supercommittee to discuss ways to invest in our children before i allowed to vote to open the government back up again? i would humbly suggest that my republican colleagues would say exactly what democrats are saying now. this is not a legitimate way to negotiate. the only path forward is to end this crisis and have a conversation. the great american system that we hold so dear, our democracy that is the envy of the world simply cannot work if a minority of members can threaten to shut down the government or devastate the economy if they do not get their way on an issue, any issue. that is not what democrats did when we were in the minority and it is not what we should do should that day come again. our system was designed to push both sides towards negotiations in a divided government, to encourage negotiation and movement towards common ground. it breaks

would it be messy? would it be a hassle? yes, of course it would be. this notion that we would default without an increase in the debt ceiling was either dishonest or ignorant. >> finally, i want to point out this. people on the street didn't know what to cut. >> yes, we should cut. >> people had no idea what they are cutting. >> what would you cut? >> what would i cut? >> tough question. >> what would you cut? > >>> >>> i would have to see the choices. >> they don't know. >> we need reforms to entitlement for this country to be sustainable. i would recommend having a cop on spending so we can have a conversation on what size should the government be? >> all we have to do is raise inflation we could balance the budget. slowing down the krogrowth of government will get us to where we need to be over time. >> good luck with that. g go to facebook or twitter and let people know what you think. >> coming up there's nothing funny about our $17 trillion debt. hollywood movie makers did find a way to make me laugh about it. >> what can i do for you today? >>

if someone would like to bottle this up to the full board i would like to do that. i was very impressed by the public comment by the neighbors and neighborhood groups and the opponents of the legislation. there's a lot of passion on both sides. an extra week for a little extra conversation never hurt anyone and so that would be my suggestion. >> okay. so i could live with it going to the one after the board meeting. what i'd like to do before that is, not to -- i want to [inaudible] go three all these things twice. i actually would like to duplicate the [inaudible] for item number three and send that forward as is with a new amendment to -- that little minor we did. submit that forward to the full board and /kaoeup one in committee. the one in committee i would like to actually make some new language around clust ering so that it's consistent with what i've been saying and what i have told members of my community that we would extend not the cu for new mcd's, not from 500 feet, but to 1000 feet so that would be consistent with what my word has been in terms of makin

>> i would feel badly. >> would you do anything about it? >> i would find out if there are two sides to have the story. >> what is the motivation to risk a lie to come here and really involved agree to cooperate with the inspector generals, what is their motivation? >> on the -- >> how do your square your behavior with treating other people? >> very large way on that. >> i'm sorry? >> i said i failed in a very large way on that. i don't agree with the statements made by miss carver about the retaliation. as i said, i don't know what's been going on since 2011, but before particularly the information she gave about -- i would respectfully request you perhaps get her side of that story. >> in delaware, we have our social security disability operations headquartered in dover, our state capitol. it's interesting when you look at the number of cases across the country that are approved or not, the number seems to run around 50% maybe a little bit over 50% nationwide. in delaware, we have a couple of judges whose approval of cases is actually belo

i would yield to anyone that would disagree? seeing no one accepting that, i am glad to hear that we agree with this. now, madam secretary, what can congress do to work with you to fix this website? >> well i'm not sure that there is hands on work that you can do maybe we have some technical expertese but i would say getting accurate information to constituents is helpful. letting people know that they can check out the facts and the law. that they may entitled to some financial support. that cancellation of policies means that the policy that they had may not exist but they have a lot of choices of new policies and a law that now says that they must be insured in a new policy. that they don't have to be insured by their company at a higher price. >> i appreciate that, madam secretary. going back to the individual marketplace, madam secretary, did this congress in previous years before the affordable care act make it illegal for health insurance companies to raise rates on some one after they submit ad claim going to the hospita

would live in these trailers. enormous trailer camps, one of which became known as happy valley. normally you can see a picture of happy valley in the book. it does not release a happy valley. it says old rusty trailer on a pile of dirt is what it looks like. at one point calling was living in this trailer with nine family members. what did it was because there was around-the-clock shifts there would arrange there work schedules so that there would work in shifts, sleep in shifts, eat in shifts. someone would be around. that is how they made it work. and colleen, when she was working actually worked for her mother. her mother went to work as well. this is a very new thing for women at this moment in time. as we all know, world war two created incredible opportunities for women not only to do different things but to make money that they've never really made before. colleen's father could not get a job because he needed something that was called a certificate of availability. some of you might know what this is. bas

would be raised? >> great questions. we never reached the agreement, we got right to the edge of reaching the agreement, then we broke off and talked to the leadership. i think it's probably better that we not go into all those details because again, we don't know exactly what the leadership is going to do. but the important thing is if you're going to get anything done in washington, you need to do it in a bipartisan way. the talking heads don't tell you that but that's really what you need to do. that's what we were doing. i appreciate susan collins for her leadership. but there are a lot of senators in that room that were showing leadership and it just gives you comfort to know that at the end of the day, the senate can come together and get things done. we don't have this done yet, but when you have a bipartisan group of senators working together, good things happen. >> as you know, senator, the key in washington is not just bipartisan, especially when it comes to republicans in the house and sena

would that be accurate? >> yes it would. >> how many years you have been in the intelligence, for many years as the something new that the intelligence committee might try to target -- >> it's one of the first things i learned in intel. it's the fundamental given in the intelligence business. leadership intentionintention s not matter what level you are talking about and that could be military leaders as well. >> you believe that the allies have it at any time any type of espionage activity against the united states of america our intelligence services or leaders or otherwise? >> absolutely. >> are you familiar with the story recently from the former french head of the dcr i? are you familiar with that? >> that's the french domestic intelligence organization. >> let me read you a quote from that gentleman. quote i'm amazed by such disconcerting naÏvetÉ he said in the interview. he would almost think our politicians don't bother to read the reports they get from their intelligence services. he's talking abo

that would make you wealthy. many people would be wealthy. the difference between me and cory booker is he doesn't trust people. you the't want to give ability to invest her own money. he wants the government to do every single thing for you. >> let's move onto david with a question on immigration. >> this issue has reemerged during the campaign. i want to give you a chance to clarify. back in 2007, there were reports in several newspapers that you hire to people in the united states illegally to put up lawn signs for your nonprofit organization. the report said the workers picked you up in an area where workers were known to be. at the same time, your campaign website says you oppose proposals to give amnesty and eventually citizenship to as many as 11 million undocumented immigrants. are you only ok with illegal immigrants working in the country when you directly benefit? >> i love biased reporting. i actually hired two men -- they never went to work with me, they never actually started work -- who said they were legal. if you check your fa

, that would be fine. is there's a process on this floor of giving instructions to a conference committee. and so my colleague left the floor, but the question i would have followed up with is: give there's a specific process in the senate for doing budget instructions to a conference committee, why not utilize that specific process, hold a vote on the conference committee instructions rather than brocading the conference committee from starting? i guess i'll have to rhetorically answer the question that there's really no good explanation. no good explanation for -- not going through the normal process of proposing a budget committee -- under the budget act so we can, indeed, get the job done. and not be paralyzed. i think, madam president, i believe the story, and i believe have liked to have the perspective of my colleague -- to instead allow the minor toy do so. i believe also it's an absolutely unprecedented situation, but i wanted to clarify that. and understand whether there was, in fact, president,

>> he would leave that the discretion of erik, which report he would -- >> submit? >> yes. >> a lot of claimants have amended on set dates. why would judge doherty do that? >> yes, sir. >> exhibit 18, a huge stack of lists dated from 2006-2010. when did they start using db west's? >> i don't know when they started losing them. they were already in place when i came to the department. i didn't move to the hearing department in late 2008. >> they were there then. >> carlton, did judge doherty call you the list of clients? >> once a month. >> who with mr. conn sent his clients to about mental or physical? >> there was physical, primarily dr. frederick until his death. if it was mental, brad adkins. >> what would they get in return? >> $400 per evaluation and dr. brad atkins, not exactly sure he was in the $300 range. >> he would give a finding as to what mr. conn got. >> yes, sir. >> with the doctors fill out our f cs or someone else? >> someone else. >> did you have occupational therapists in your office to determine this? >> not to my knowledge. >> where did mr. conn

what would a failure tonight mean? >> well, it would mean the same thing. i don't know how many hunlts of points it would take out of the s&p 500 or the dow but it would take a lot. it would represent dysfunctional government. since the united states is the world's reserve currency, since many of the transactions on a daily basis are based upon the sanctity, the markets not only stock markets but bond markets would tank. i think though, and we all agree that there's almost certain passing of this continuing resolution and debt ceiling legislation, the important thing is that the world's view of the united states, the political process, the currency and ultimately the economy has been damaged by all of this. and much of the world looks at us, at americans like the new york times mentioned this morning, mexicans do as spoiled little rich kids. as we kick this can from october 17th to early next year, there will be a cost to us in the form of higher interest rates and lower stock prices than otherwise would be the case. you look at so many countries. they can'

amazon would never do this. pro flower would never do this. this is completely an unacceptable level of security. and we found out after the contractors last week that an end to end testing hadn't been tested on security. because if it's not functioning you know it's not secure. you're ongoing hot patches without end to end tests. the private contractored told us it would take two months just for an integrated end to end security test that i'll tell you has not happened today. why? because you're constantly adding new code every night to protect the functionality of the system. you have exposed millions of americans because you all believe it was an acceptable risk. don't you think you had the obligation to tell the american people that we're going to put you in this system but beware, your information is likely to be vulnerable? would you commit today to shut down the system and do an end to end security test so that -- >> no, sir. if you read the memo. >> i have read it. >> it goes on to say that weeking testing, including interface daily we

those renovation will be sustained and it would allow the tenant to be reimbursed the tenant would pay a minimal guarantee of $40,000. the airport concession annual sales is projected and this is based on burger kings previous sales and it - they estimate based on that the tenant would pay the airport on the percentage rent of about $174,000 a year. the agency recommended an approval we need to amend the $40,000 amount fiduciaries >> colleagues, any questions. >> i i know it's a straightforward contract issue here or lease here but could we get a list of the different types of food options at the aren't from healthy options to how much fast food is there. you said that burger king and i've enjoyed my share of worships over the years but it would be helpful to understand how many local businesses are there >> i'd be happy to get you that list. i should mention the airport has a sequential food component of you'll our leases that will be included in the lease. so while we tried try to have local companies and we typically don't have a lot of fast food at the airport address passengers at

the point i would disagree with the win. i would argue that you could still be one more u.s.-russian relationship that could bring total u.s. and russian nuclear weapons levels down to 202500 which is seven times larger then what else. then you have to do something with third countries and maybe start with baby steps. get us transparency can was the number of weapons that you have. some data, not disintegrate that the united states and russia exchange with the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty. could you go for this difference it will not ask you to negotiate a reduction or even a legally binding limitation, but could you take on as a unilateral logical commitment that you will not increase the number of your weapons as long as the united states and russia are coming down? i think if you could get to the point, the next that probably has to be more of a multilateral negotiation. >> i would also mention ukraine -- disagreements with russia negotiations. everybody talks about missile defense. your question, please. >> my name is emily smith. i'm from georgetown school of foreign service. c

that would be available. that is the context in which we are having this discussion. i thoroughly agree with the comments of the ranking member that at some point it is just irresponsible to not deal with the underlying problem that gets right to the need for all of this debt, and, frankly, it is not clear to me why this administration should be the first administration in modern history to simply refuse to have a discussion about how we got here at a moment like this. thank you. >> i would like to remind my colleagues that the record will be open for the next seven days for additional statements and other materials. thank you, mr. chairman. my guess is what you just said is a suggested we not to opening statements, but that really just went over my head. i did not notice. thank you. i have a few comments, and i will not talk more than two or three minutes. five years ago we were dealing with the financial crisis. he could he on the brink of another one come of one self- inflicted, as the governor mentioned i

i would try to figure out who i pay first. most of us would do that. that is a crazy way to run the greatest economy the world is ever seen. the history of the united states, it was after the revolution that we had a very hard time -- that is when robert morris, the financer of the revolution, made it very clear, we will not pay our bills plus we have access to credit. you better have gold and silver, or else nobody will do with you. that was a calamity about to happen. we never default it, even in those days when we didn't have anything. here we are, we are seriously contemplating that as a sensible, intelligent reaction to a political stalemate? i hope not. as i used to say in oklahoma to my democrat friends, if the uss oklahoma goes down, we all go down together. if the uss united states goes down, we all go down together, democrats and republicans. >> senator ritter? >> thank you, mr. chairman. thanks to all of our panelists. i know all of you agree that the dent it should be extended because disruption would occur otherwise. i understand that. i d

we would hold back food, and they would know if they went into the module they would get their food. and so if they're hungry enough they're going to go in there. during the winter that would be 5:00 at night to 7:00 in the morning. you would see new tooth rakes and sometimes you would see blood. closing that door and knowing he's locked in there for the whole night is like -- to staff it's whoa! this is really heartbreaking stuff, newt. there's stuff in this film that's so compelling and unbelievable. one of the things is that you have one orca that has killed three human beings. that's three more human beings than all the orcas in the world that have ever killed, because orcas don't kill human beings in nature. but they do in captivity. this film is an indictment of of the entire system of grabbing the animals and holding them in captivity. >> i do think that "blackfish is a very compelling and i think a very powerful film. as someone who regularly watches a whole lot of animal films, i found it very, very intriguing, but i also think you have to put it in context. the fact is that

. >> it's very low doses but that's an excellent question and i thought somebody would probably ask that. so, the united states preventative services task force in 2009 came out with a proposal to revise guidelines saying that perhaps women aged 40 to 50, there's no cost benefit really for that age group in terms of having mammogram of average risk, so recommended that women start mammography at age ao where the benefits really out weigh the risk, you don't have 40 years left in your life span at that point perhaps, you have 30, you're at a less vulnerable stage of life so there are a lot more benefits for life, your breast cancer risks are higher, so you know, the age 40 to 50, there's still a lot of debate about that and women need to discuss this with their own health care providers, but recent research has found that women who are at high risk of breast cancer because of braque of mutation who then screening at earlier and earlier ages may be particularly vulnerable to radiation, so for them, alternatives to radiation based screening need to be, you know, used either in lieu of or in

would mr. kirk would like a few moments a few moments? >> of coors. >> the gentleman is recognized. >> this is an opportunity to discuss viruses role in implementing and enforcing the affordable care act. i do look forward to today's testimony and would like to hear about the national dragnet that snare darwinism brought her here today. i will say the irs has begun to play and will continue to play a key role in both the implementation and the enforcement of the affordable care act. the department of health and human services manages the implementation of the aca but the irs assisting mostly by administering subsidies to those who qualify under the law and penalizing those who don't comply with the law. to determine which individuals fall into the latter category the irs along with the centers for medicare and medicaid services operates a data hub allowing those applying for coverage on the health care exchange to easily determine which plants and subsidies they qualify for. this data hub does not and i repeat come cut does not receive or

i would say it's not. it is a bitter pill. >> so are you going to vote no on the deal that's sitting before the house right now? >> i want to see the language. but right now i'm leaning no. and i don't want to pull the rug out from under other people. it seems to be up in the air. it's a jump ball right now. >> not having seen the language and noticing that they're continuing to rewrite it, doesn't it strike you as premature for speaker former speaker pelosi in effect to say not a single democrat will even consider voting for this? do you think the minds are that closed? or do you think some people will look at whether or not there's something that could get a bipartisan vote? >> it's not that. i think the vast majority of our caucus really briefs as the president does is that you don't negotiate over paying your bills on time and keeping the government running. these are basic constitutional responsibilities that the congress has and i think the republicans are being incredibly irresponsible here. and the

i would say the afghanistan. certainly would like to know what is it about its central asia is that there are. members of the shanghai cooperation organization and of the collective security treaty organization would like to know everything you know without any. exceptions because this is the region next to our doors. russia china central asian countries there are. resorting to believe that. cold duration was international community to resolve the problems of this region is very important and relevant for this. by the international community this case or less controllers must be thrown spear and what they are planning for doing this will become big and we would like to know what it was about plans for several thank you very much thank you. mission and free accreditation three pounds for charges three. maintenance three. three stooges priests mostly blunt counseling video for your media projects a free media dog our teton tom. delivered torch is on its epic journey to such. a one hundred twenty three days. through

would mean people would have the money to their mortgages. required people verify their income, verify their credit, verify their employment, and verify the value of the property that's being purchased with the loan. all those things are the standards that served america well for years until the subprime lending took place from 1999-2006. so i commend richard cordray and the consumer financial protection bureau for defining a qualified mortgage as one that is well underwritten. a required down payment is not necessary to have a qualified mortgage because underwriting was what led us into the difficulties of the past five years in the housing industry. we went through a recession that was not a down payment recession but it was an underwrielgt resetting -- underwriting recession. when congress itself was partially to blame when it mandated that freddie mac and freddie mae hold a certain part of their portfolio was qualified residential mortgages for the purposes of meeting underserved people in society. those underserved people in society inne

well what would happen if those outlines are not met the security council would have to convene again to vote again but we know the positions of russia in the united states the u.s. would most likely if another attack were to take place would reference strikes again russia does not believe this necessary and does not believe this is a solution and because they're permanent members of the security council then in this negative scenario they would have to find a common ground yet again but for now the plan is to as we as you mentioned inspectors are arriving in syria they are supposed to get rid of the month manufacturing possibilities by november first and they're also their plan is to destroy all the chemical weapons by mid twenty fourteen in order for the syrian government and the parties of the conflict and key negotiators of the international community to meet again for talks and finally on a softball we have a very short amount of time left but can you talk us about the recent accomplishment at the u.n. g.a. between president obama and rouhani right megan we had president obama an

i would like an end to this nonsense as you would. it's irresponsible, unhealthy, defaulting on debt is just bad business. it's immoral and shows a basic lack of economics, finance, and doing business with people who lend you money. when you stiff your creditors your interest rates increase and everything else slows down. mortgage rates could increase, and stocks could go down. this could damage the economy. we shouldn't be dealing with our spending problems on the back end. whenever you think about federal spending and deficit, the place to deal with them is on the election, through legislation, through the budgeting process which we used to go through. not when the bill comes due. stop the bickering, take this seriously and pay your bills. >>> hello. welcome to "news hour." from doha. the top stories on al jazeera. rescue and recovery. how one earthquake is affecting as many as 2 million lives in the philippines. >>> typhoon wifa wallops japan. one area is hit by two months of rain in a single day. >>> a place where aid money seems

the shutdown would be over. then serious negotiations would proceed around every item in the budget. as soon as congress votes to reopen the government, it also has to vote to meet our countries commitments, pay our bills. raise the debt ceiling. as reckless as a government shutdown is, and economic shutdown caused by america defaulting would be dramatically worse. this for aalk about minute because, even the people can see and feel the effects of there arent shutdown, still some people out there who don't believe that the fault is a real thing. we have been hearing that from some republicans in congress and that the fault would not be a big deal. so let me explain this. if congress refuses to raise what is called the debt ceiling, america would not be able to meet all of our financial obligations for the first time in 225 years. called raisings the debt ceiling, i think a lot of americans think it is raising our debt and it is not raising our debt. it does not add a dime to our debt. it simply says we pay for w

that there would be budget conflicts, but nobody would threaten the possibility that we would default. and when they hear members of the senate and members of congress saying maybe default wouldn't be that bad, i'll bet that makes them nervous. it makes me nervous. it should make the american people nervous. because that's irresponsible. it is out of touch with reality. it is based on a flawed analysis of how our economy works. you cannot pay some bills and not others and think somehow that the fact that you're paying some bills protects you from a loss of creditworthiness. that's not what happens in our own personal lives. i don't know why people think that's how it works for the united states government. we have used a lot of our emergency powers. jack lew has used extraordinary measures to keep paying our bills over the last several months. but at a certain point those emergency powers run out and the clock is ticking. i do worry that republicans, but also some democrats, may think that we've got a bunch of other rabbits in our hat. there comes a point in which if the treasury cann

our economy would end up going into a freefall. credit would be locked up. this would have a dramatic effect on the economy, and also the national security. would destabilize the globe and put american power in a really bad position. i would encourage at that point for the president to have the ability to utilize the 14th amendment. line, to resethe in manchester. caller: good morning. i wanted to talk about the tea party a little bit. we wanted to respect our light -- rights as keep all to be able every pennyout ai we make out of taxes. they act like the congressmen are evil. respect that that is our will also. the same with democrats and republicans. this health care thing will bankrupt us. us poor people cannot afford to buy groceries and gas. you want to add more taxes on hearing aids and all of this know wheredo not they think they can keep pulling this money out of people. giving usnies are not raises anymore. we are living day to day. guest: as i said in the beginning, they have every right in the world to hold the positions that they have. they were

that would be another prediction. agree with tom, i think i said that, that i think the focus of our time is going to shift to further simplification and improvement. he laid out his vision of that. there are other people that might lay out a vision of a single-payer system. we'll still have that policy dialogue going on what that means but i hope we will be shifting from whether we're going to be implementing expanded coverage to, you know, what are the best ways of doing that are. and we'll have, with people, more people covered, more people understanding what it means to have insurance and, being better prepared to take good advantage of the system. at least, i'm half, half full today. >> that's great. questions from the audience. we have a couple of hand up. >> competing for questions over here. chris hath a way, national association of dental plans. a about a week or two ago they released ffm premium rates along with the other data. in the dental industry looking to see what kind of policies do those look like to

and would probably not believe that anyone would possibly threaten a default that would put that type of recovery for our economy but for their own personal situation at risk. and i think there's nothing more important now than to create certainty that there is not going to be a threat of default, and once we extend the debt limit and take away the threat of default, we'll have a stronger economy and you'll also create room for the president and the republicans to start talking again about sensible budget issues or even how to improve and reform the affordable care act. all of those things can take place. but not while we have the threat of default or the threat of shut down being held over the country's head. >> gene sperling, director of the national economic council at the white house. let's hope it gets resolves and resolved quickly bault a lot of people are suffering. if it doesn't get resolved, millions of people will suffer, indeed the whole u.s. economy could suffer. appreciate it. >>> the president may have one option to avoid a bruising battle over the debt ceiling. it would

>> i would say absolutely not. it was the intent of the leadership to pass a resolution to fund the government and have a discussion with the administration and the senate with respect to some of the health care law provisions that we found objectionable and other perhaps entitlement changes, the sequester, and have those discussions in the context of the debt ceiling. understanding that at the end of this process it's acceptable to not -- unacceptable to not maintain the full faith and credit of the united states government. of course we'll have to raise the debt ceiling but it's appropriate to have discussions surrounding those debt ceiling issues. >> ifill: what kind of reaction are you getting from your constituents from lehigh valley, pennsylvania? >> most of my constituents, i think, share my view that while we have very serious concerns and misgivings with the health care law that we did not want to shut the government down to make that particular point. so i think many of my constituents do agree with me th

if anyone thinks it works smoothly -- it would not work smoothly. it would be chaos. we have looked at many options. there have been reports indicating thiigs that have been looked at over the years. no one has had to put this into effect. they are not tested. peter: the government shutdown made the debt ceiling deadline projection less reliable. october 17th, if congress does manage to pass this proposal nov. 20 second would be the new deadline. that would be an actual hard deadline because it would not allow treasury to use those extraordinary measures. dagen: dan enninger of the wall street journal editorial board joins us. your reaction with the six week extension? >> it sounds like it might be good news but i am afraid it looks to me like ultimately it is kicking the can down the road, the can being at the center of the disagreement between the republicans and the white house and the democrats and it depends which side is making the proposal and which side is reacting. the republican side and the house has been saying they would like to do this so in return they

so i would first, mr. president, offer a modification to suggest unanimous consent as follows, that an amendment which is at the desk be agreed to to expressing the sense of congress that the house should vote on the senate amendment h.j. res. 59, the continuing resolution passed by the senate, that the concurrent resolution as amended be agreed to, that the motions to reconsider be made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: will the republican leader so modify his request? mr. mcconnell: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. is there objection to the original request? mr. casey: i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican whip. mr. cornyn: mr. president, there are obviously differences in this chamber over the fiscal direction of our country, but we should be united in our efforts to do right by our uniformed military and their families and certainly their survivors. the w

>> yeah -- >> would it be a dream exit. >> it would be the way to go. >> as an atheist, that would be the way to go. do you think you'll live to be 100? >> i'm hoping i'll live forever, the singularity is coming in the year 2029 and points out we're already partly machine. people have stints and artificial hearts and dick cheney is such a lucky guy. every time he was about to croak they came up with some heart -- >> i interviewed his surgeon this week. asked him did he think he performed a valuable public service. he didn't think it was funny. >> god called dick cheney home and he refused go. there's the problem. >> here's dick cheney talking to bill o'reilley this week. >> there are elements out there like fox, like your show, they think are seriously objective and reflective of what i think a lot of americans believe. i do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what i'd consider off base or has a bias. >> so fox is the voice of reason. >> is he the illegitimate father of ann coulter? i mean, that's of course ridiculous. i mean fox news. one of the main problems as we all know

why would they do that? i can only imagine yet again they want to use it for leverage for their vision of government, their vision of spending. that is not going to happen. whatever passes for fiscal responsibility in this town, which is not much, that is attached to the debt ceiling. it is a very important vote. be it the budget control act, again, whatever passes for fiscal responsibility in washington dc is attached to the debt ceiling. the president says, i refuse to negotiate. ok, fine. let's at least take to fall off the table. the other day i saw something i never thought i would see in my lifetime. a president of the united states appearing to spook markets. he is asked on national television. his response was, they do not take it as seriously as they should. i have never seen that before. >> the problem financial professionals inside the administration see with the full faith and credit act is it would amount to paying off chinese bondholders but not guaranteeing other creditors of the government ge

amazon would never do this. proflowers would never do this. kayak would never do this. this is completely an unsearchabunsearch ab -- unacceptable level of security. and we found out last week an end to end test, ongoing hot patches, the private contractor told us it would take a very thorough two months just for an integrated end-to-end security test that has not happened today. why? because you're constantly adding new code every night to protect the financiunctionality of the . you have exposed americans because you all -- don't you think you had the obligation to tell the american people that we're going to put you in the system but beware, your information is likely to be vulnerable? would you commit today, secretary, to shut down the system and do an end-to-end security test -- >> no, sir. if you read the memo, it goes on to say weekly testing including interface testing daily, weekly scans are going on. this is a temporary authority -- >> that's not what the memo says, number one. number two -- >> mr. chairman, a point of order. i think the witness ought to be al

. >> i would like to raise my debt limit. my debt limit, i would like to raise it. >> you are 140,000 to order and $70 in debt. >> right. i figure we should raise the limit to 170,000. i just bought a 60-inch flat screen. john: americans have bought plenty of -- plenty of flat screens. promising everyone many more things. is there no limit on what politicians in promised? who will pay for? case well. i have to take some of these. no, i am the old person. i need this. no, i've won't give it back. stealing from kids is not fair. so tonight the week after government barricaded veterans away from a memorial, i say what americans need is a barricade to keep congress away from our money because we are up almost 17 trillion. that is our show tonight. ♪ >> and now john stossel. ♪ john: okay. congress kick the can down the road again, but this does not address the irresponsible spending that is going to bankrupt us. tonight we will solve america's debt problems. really. it is not that hard once you stop assuming that what makes am
