12 people confirmed murdered. I want to get everyone the latest from france. Here is what we know at 1 00 p. M. New york time. 7 00 p. M. In paris. 12 people now dead including two police officers, one was executed in the street after being wounded. The attackers apparently used ak47 assault rifles and a rocket launcher. At this point the three suspects are not in custody. They remain on the loose. The magazine had been threatened before after publishing cartoons of the prophet mohammed. Two years ago an editor and cartoonist who was murdered today spoke out against the threats. Translator cant make a caricature of mohammed in france . Of course we can. Mohammed is sacred for the muslims and i understand that. I am atheist. Mohammed is not sacred to me. I dont blame muslims for not laughing at our drawings. They shouldnt tell me under which law i should live. I live under french law. That editor among the dead at this hour. Police still hunting for three apparent suspects. This all hap
And so basically, my opinion ill conclude that we dont need tar sands because of the Carbon Pollution that comes from it. We have our own sources of oil. Were using less oil because our cars are more efficient. The pipeline isnt going to help lower gas prices or enhance our Global Security or fight Climate Change. For all these reasons i oppose the bill and request that the committee grant an open rule allowing amendments to be offered, at a minimum. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate your consciousness, not only being here and taking time to be a witness today, but also it is good to see be. I hope youre going to have a good new year. You too. Mr. Kramer welcome. Previously when youve been with us youve been on the resources committee. I dont know if you still are, but you are also a member now of the energy and commerce committee. I am. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I am the prime sponsor of the bill. That was what i was going to say. Were delighted that youre here. The gentlema
Asia mostly cannot continue to to cheat and sell into our country with a bonus and penalize us when we try to sell into theirs. This body delivered one strong message this week, unprecedented. I cant think of the last time the senate spoke with such an emphatic voice on a trade issue. The simple message we cannot have trade promotion without trade enforcement. We shouldnt be passing new agreements while doing nothing which the senate tried to do on tuesday but was the senate stood up and said no. We shouldnt be passing new agreements while doing nothing to enforce existing laws and support American Companies dealing with unfair competition. We need to stand up, particularly for our Small Businesses who are always who are always hurt to a much greater degree than Large Businesses because when a Large Company when a Large Company in cleveland or toledo or lima shuts down production and moves to china getting a tax break from our government, amazingly enough that this body wont close that
Will one dry. It raises the iconic question, are you better off than you were four years ago . The rising answer for our nation is an unequivocal no. Jobs have been lost, hours have been cut, employers have been forced to drop coverage their employees were happy with, premiums have skyrocketed, millions have lost coverage they were happy with. Obamacare has hurt medicare recipients by cutting about 156 billion out of Medicare Advantage. And this cut was a grave miscalculation. Medicare advantage is a shining Success Story that millions of seniors, like my mother, rely on. In short, its a program that allows you to receive your coverage from a private provider using funding from medicare. This has encouraged providers to compete for business by tacking on all sorts of Valueadded Services for seniors. For example, one of the reasons my mother picked her current provider is because in addition to good doctors, they pick her up, and they drive her to her appointment. This sort of competiti
One of the challenges we found is that survivors who go through their college and go through Law Enforcement also are doubly traumatized and victimized. If the law will if the local Law Enforcement does not have specific person or group of people who are properly trained on how to conduct an interview and how to collect the forensic evidence, it can be doubly traumatizing. The story that came out of Columbia University were one of the survivors has been working with the senator. She went to her college disciplinary process and the college did not find her assailant guilty of anything. I was noty said, getting the outcome i wanted, so im going to the nypd. An officer showed up at her room and disregarded a lot of her concerns, kept wanting her to repeat very traumatizing information, kept trying to the nature of her relationship and the nature of the assault because they had had consensual sex before he did rape her. I came out of that experience ceiling incredibly feeling incredibly di
