Benefited from a high minimum wage. Job growth has continued at a rate above the national average. Payrolls in our restaurants and bars have expanded due to people having more money in their pockets to spend out at dinner or a night on the town. And poverty in Washington State has trailed the National Level for at least seven years now. That is why i support making the National Minimum wage 10. 10 for families from washington to wisconsin, from massachusetts to minnesota and hawaii and everywhere in between. Now, its not enough to make you rich, but it is a small raise for millions of families who desperately need it. Its a small raise for mom and dads who need help. And, mr. President , beyond that, weve got to do more. Today twothirds of families rely on income from both parents, twothirds, but thanks to our outdated tax code, a woman thinking about reentering the work force as the second earner in her family may face higher tax rates than they are husband when she does that.

Griff good morning. Jedediah can i say, pete, its an adventure to go to the Grocery Store with one child and the dog a size of a mouse. I have no idea how you managed to pull this trip off but im going to need to see lots of photos behind the scenes. That is quite an endeavor. Griff did say there is an rv hierarchy when you pull in the camp site. I learned that we were very low on the hierarchy, quickly. Griff we have got talk about this throughout the show today. The rv thing i have never done it. A friend that did it. Whole hierarchy and culture of itself. Justice Clarence Thomas big rv enthusiast has been doing it years and years. You are a new buy. Pete you could tell we were a new buy and half the camp sites only allow to you have four kids. We had seven so we had to lie on the application to get into the camp site. Hide the kids and let them all out the door so they couldnt kick us out. More to come. It will not be an rv show only. We have a little bit of news as well including t
Around to make a lot of changes to a lot of things in the ways in which the United Kingdom conducts its business. One of the many questions that arises, and there are lots about currency, foreign investment, defense, nato commitments, and all sorts of things that are out rights, aut pension share of the sovereign debt of ,he on and United Kingdom mr. Salmon, who is the first minister of scotland, said he expects there to be a seamless transition. That is not what leaders of the European Union has said. Others have said that if scotland leaves the United Kingdom and wants to join the European Union, it will have to take its place in the queue and apply like every other candidate country and would require unanimous consent of everyone of the 28 members of the eu.

I spoke to a company who had been working closely with the fbi and as a result of the intel that they were gathering in the cyberworld they were able to basically figure out the 500 million had been siphoned off from various Bank Accounts across the globe. One of the things that this individual was siding was the cooperation there between a private company and in this case the fbi. Is that how the fbi but is that how we go after the cybercriminals . Lets take the private sector the exchanges for instance. What we want to do is as we have done in other areas to go out and develop relationships with the security individuals in those particular exchanges are Financial Institutions so that they know who in the fbi has proficiency in this area and it named with a face in
I call this hearing of the green jobs and new economy subcommittee to order. Just yesterday the president made a historic announcement moving forward with the proposal to tackle the single largest source of climate pollution in the United States coal fired power plants. This action could not have come too soon. What were seeing already are real impacts of Climate Change, impacts that are being felt today, on the ground, its no longer a conversation about hypothetical events or computer models, what might or might not happen in the future, its a conversation about the real costs to our Natural Resources in our Rural Communities and our economy right now. A few weeks ago the National Climate assessment came out with the most uptodate review of climate sense and particularly focused on the impacts we are already seeing across the United States. This report combines the expertise of dozens of the most preimminent scientists to conduct a comprehensive review of the scientific literature to
