Meanti meantime, whens going on over there and here and affecting your money. Time for our Closing Bell Exchange today. We have sam stillball, larry glazer, renee norris, derrick gruden and our own Rick Santelli joining us, as well. Renee, you believe we suffered technical damage in the market last week. What do you think thats going to do here . Where are we going, do you think . You know, i am really watching that on top of the fact of a major divergence of the russell 2000 and the large cap index so i am watching that closely. I do think that this could be the Tipping Point for the correction. Between the geopolitical issues were seeing, this divergence and the fact that its a tired market. This is one of the longest periods of time w
Intentional violation of the code. We just havent communicated as well. They just made a mistake. An innocent mistake . Was there any consequence . No. There was no discipline administered. With all due respect, my time is expired. Until you actually live by your own codes and you hold people responsible and accountable, youre going to continue to have this problem. There has to be consequences when people purposely and knowingly mislead the press and the congress. With respect, sir, again, from what ive heard, been briefed and have seen, i would not say its intentional. Theres a difference between misconduct and operational errors. And i think theres a very clear distinction. Did you not know immediately he was apprehended at the the doors or deep in the white house . Time of the gentleman has expired. He will be permitted to answer the question. You can can answer that question. Yes, sir, again. Some people how that information was relaid, again, not being there i dont know how that
Drill further down into the deficiencies that have been revealed in the secret Services Policies and procedures, as well as any deficiencies with the physical security at the white house. In particular, i am interested in discussing how the service intends to improve security at the white house when, as was true on september 19th, the president or other protectees, are not present. A month after Omar Gonzalez was able to enter the white house, another fence jumper was quickly apprehended by secret service officers, including the k9 unit. It is my hope that this incident shows that the service has already implement reforms. However, the gonzalez fence jumper is just one of many events in the past few years that call into question whether the u. S. Secret service is doing all it can to fulfill its mission and prevent mistakes. Others include the colombian prostitution scandal. The recent ability of a Security Guard with a criminal history to take a service webben into an elevator with th

In may and in july, after we had surged, enforcement, Department Public safety, texas ranger recoteams, parks and wildlife dens, literally putting those war dens in the river in the boats. 50 reduction in apprehension in july.

The rightded in direction because were sending a clear message, the are personnel, Law Enforcement and military individuals on the border. You cnot come and just cross throw your hands up and say here am i and city in this country.
My time has expired and i will now recognize the Ranking Member of the crime subcommittee the gentleman from virginia mr. Scott for his questions. Thank you. Director clancy, thank you for being here. Yes, sir. One of the problems we have around here frequently is that when we do budgets, we dont think tax cuts affect the budget, and that budget cuts dont affect your ability to provide services. Can you describe a little bit about the budget ups and downs over the last three or four years . Yes, sir. When i came back to the secret service and accepted this position, i identified three three main areas of concern. One was staffing. One was training. And obviously the morale, as well. Staffing is its a complicated issue. Back in 2011, we were at a high point with our staffing. We had approximately 7,024 security personnel back in 2011. 2012 and 2011 im sorry, 2012 and 2013 we had a severe dropoff. There were some Uncertain Times from a budget standpoint and also we realized, from what i
