On world events. Thats this Christmas Day on cspan networks. For our complete schedule go to cspan. Org. Coming up next, former Intelligence Analyst for both the state department and the cia mark stout explores the history of espionage during world war i. He focuses on four american agencies that participated in spying. The navy department, War Department, state department and the Expeditionary Forces abroad, including the u. S. Army. The Kansas Public Library and the Truman Library institute hosted this hourlong event. Well, thank you for that very warm introduction and very warm welcome. Wasnt planning on talking about ufos, but when the topic comes up, its irresistible so briefly ill say, back in the 1990s the cia declassified an internal history that theyd written of the u2 Spy Plane Program and they had written back in the 70s, if i recall correctly. And one of the findings in this is they had very carefully gone back and correlated domestic ufo reports with thenclassified u2 flig
Gcc initiative or restarting the National Dialogue conference that collapsed in early 2014 without addressing the underlying issues. The houthi were reluctant participants in the National Dialogue in yemen but it was clear that they had no interest in ceding power over to a centralized government. As a result they withdrew from the National Dialogue, it collapsed, and the houthi took control over sanaa and now other areas. So why would the administration think that the circumstances have changed that would allow for a rekonconciliation to occur . It is naive and dangerous to think a political situation is achievable as long as the houthi are unwilling to cede their power and as long as iran continues its support for these fighters just like it is naive and dangerous to believe that a political solution in syria is achievable as long as assad remains in power. Even more absurd is the fact that iran just this morning has allegedly proposed a peace plan for yemen. This is the same iran th
In this case this is money that these families are earning and i am looking forward to a vibrant debate. I am glad the conservative movement has space for this kind of vibrant debate. I am a huge supporter of what everything reagan did. I also think we need to recognize the 21st century has some difficult in some significant differences in the era in which he governed. Globalization israel real and we need to stay globally repetitive and recognize in the 21st century, families face challenges that were not there in the 20th. It would be difficult to do that in the 21st century because of what those jobs paid. Eventually my father would have had to become an electrician or welder. My mother would have to become a dental hygienist or paralegal in order to live comfortable lifestyles. A great time. The last time the Miami Dolphins were in the super bowl was in the 1980s. One of the things conservatives have been about is common sense and reform and this is a commonsense reform about the r
A complicated tax season for you. Sen sasse thank you mr. Chairman and thank you mr. Commissioner for being here. Are you familiar with a piece in the Washington Post yesterday about the 100 to 400 fpl level for the aca. He is summarizing a yale journal of regulation piece about who qualifies for the tax credit will stop it is my understanding that is 100 to 400 of the federal poverty line. It looks to me that you have put forth a rule that disregards the 100 income level. I am curious if that is true. Mr. Koskinen i am not aware of that. I would be delighted to get your information. I am not aware that we have done anything that ignored the statutory framework. Sen sasse we will follow up with a letter. The particular concerns i have a related to the broad application of irs discretion. Obviously in the regulatory rulemaking process but also in particular cases. Many of our constituents, when i travel in nebraska, have genuine fear of the irs because there is an inadequate understandi
I dont go up and approach people and all that stuff, and yet i have been harassed at times. Once a guy i was looking for shade and a guy came out of his shop and really harassed me very, very verbally. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you very much sir. Next speaker. Good morning. I am ralph and i live with my wife in woodside. I am here to ask you to vote no on this ban on nudity and i dont go to Jane Warner Plaza myself but i support those that do. There is no property damage. There is no logical argument for the proposed ban and it comes down to one phrase its disgusting. I will remind you that beauty and disgust is in the eye of the beholder and what comes next. Many consider obesity disgusting and ban that and our constitution is built on individuals rights and pursuit to happiness. Many laws have been passed by the majority over years and ultimately based on bigotry and disgust and gay marriage and sodomy and many more. Every time one of the laws is tested in court it has been ev
