A horrifying scene on Spirit Airlines today. You know about speed cameras and red light cameras, but wait till you here about the new violations you could be caught on camera for in the district. 800,000 reasons why you want to know what happened at this High School Football game tonight. Plus a bethesda lawyer raising questions. Did you shoot the president . I didnt shoot anybody, no, sir. And even suing the government for answers about the assassination of jfk. Oswald was the shooter. As a lawyer i have to look at some of the issues that just havent been explained. Good evening. Im jan jeffcoat. Im derek mcginty, those stories coming your way in a moment. But first tonight special moments around the nation and world as people pause to remember the day jfk died. Heres your world in 90 seconds.

Number of important Consumer Protections, from new mortgage protections to credit cards to payday lending. An independent source said the credit card bill of rights that was supported by the cfpb saves consumers 20 billion a year. That is a huge step forward for onsumers. And the bureau has been willing to make sensible changes when it needed to. Last year they adopted amendments to the card act that would allow stayathome spouses to take out credit cards in their own names. That was commonsense fix for an unintended problem for stayathome spouses that were credit worthy and they made the decision to make them able to get these credit cards. Thats a huge step forward, i worked with it on worked with mrs. Capito across the aisle. And they continue to develop safeguards in rapidly growing areas, such as prepaid cards and other areas. In short the cfpbs work has made the lives of American Consumers and our constituents better on a daytoday basis. This bill would understood mine these resu
Just one more word on the subject. You know, im sure, you know, as a fellow political scientist, you agree with the generalizations are true until they are not, and so one of the interesting things about the reagan tax reform, of course, is that it was not the first two yearings of the first term. It was the first two years the second term, making it all the more imprezzive, and i think this is one of many respects in which our current circumstances are really driving a sense of whats possible. I mean, based on the past two administrations, one is led to the first two year conclusion, but, of course, bill clinton achieved what is arguably the biggest domestic success in the second term. So i would not i think it would be really unfortunate if we came to the conclusion, you know, that sort of like waste dna, the last six years of a president s term are wasted time; right . I hope we can govern ourselves in a higher proportion than that. You know, i agree. So large change, i think, well,
Phonybaloney organizations designed to look and feel like theyre real. Messages honed by Public Relations experts to sound like theyre truthful. Payroll scientists whom polluters can trot out when they need them. The whole thing is big and complicated enough that when you see its parts, you could be fooled into thinking i. T. Not t all connected. But it is just like the mythological hydra many heads, same beast. And this denial beast pollutes our democracy just as surely as its sponsors pollute our atmosphere and oceans. Some editorial pages spread the polluter party line so consistently that it appears theyve gone over and actually joined the apparatus. The climate denial network controls the political arm of the multinational corporations, the socalled u. S. Chamber of commerce. Polluterfunded super pacs target elected officials who dont fall in line. Interestingly, often republicans in an effort to purify the party in a coalfired crucible. The whole deniers castle can look pretty da
Has the white house engaged with your Advisory Panel and do you think, i shouldnt say that does it understand the major problems that exist in the Nuclear Security enterprise . And do you think the president understands it, the gravity of it . Gravity of it. That is difficult question, mr. Franks for us to answer. It is. Clearly the nation, not just this administration but over a period of years we gradually let our nuclear capability, degrade. The, i would come back to your initial remarks deterrence is in the eye of the beholder as you know. I do. When other nations come to the conclusion that our deterrent is not what we say it is then were in great danger and one of the worst things we could do of course is state we have plans that we dont provide the resources, the management capability to carry them out. If that, if we cant afford more, we need to change the plan but to have plans that dont much the resours is probably the worst of all worlds. Once again as we, weve visited in gr
