president, thi this closely follows the recommendation of senator gregg and i from five years ago to create a commission empowered to bring to a vote in the senate and the house a plan to get our debt under control and to do it sthat you wouldn't have the endless process that our current situation requires. mr. president, the idea was to create a brac-like systemo that a proposal could come before the senate, could come before the houseo get our debt down. it is modeled in many ways after the reconciliation procs that was designed for deficit reduction and only requires a simple majority vote. there is a failsafe. if this committee fails to produce a result, the failsafe is across-the-board cuts in defense and non-defense spending with exemptions for social security, veterans, low-income people, and it limits the medicare reductions to 2%. mr. president, i would prefer that the medicare reduction not be there because there is no revenue that's assured in this plan. but we do have a have a failsafe. we do have to have some assurance that the savings are actually realized. and this mec

gregg jarrett, here with the very latest. gregg: police initially thought this could be a hate crime driven by antimuslim sentiment. now, though, investigators think a love triangle may have motivated the assassins. details are scarce here but our sister publication new york post saying a custody was taken into custody last night. najish nirani and her husband were taking their son for a stroll in the new jersey community of boonton, suddenly they were ambushed by a blaze of gunfire, the woman killed instantly, a bullet to the heart and her husband, seriously injured, he remains hospitalized. four gunshot wounds. the child luckily, amazingly, unharmed, though covered with his mother's blood. verbais told police there were three attackers, they say the target appears to be specific, the family is muslim, was wearing pakistani clothing when they went for a walk after the istar that brings daily fastings during the season of ramadan, they had been visiting family in booneton, a tiny edge of passaic county, a large pakistani comm

good morning. >> reporter: you're absolutely right, bill, catherine gregg today pleading not guilty, essentially saying she is innocent of these charges after 16 years essentially on the run with james whitey bulger, this accused bob and mobster. she says that she is innocent. the prosecution, however, has a different story, she believe that she used multiple false identities to help conceal herself while on the run, as well as james whitey bulger, identities from names like carol gasko, helen march thal, chairl shaifen, mrs. thomas baxter and the list goes on. gregg's attorney says they would be taking this to trial, that they would not be cooperating, kevin runnington saying at this point she's holding up well. she faces five years in prison and a few years of supervision after being released if she's convicted on these charges and a $250,000 possible fine if she is convicted, and then they should be a free woman after those five years if indeed she is convicted. bill: what's next for whitey bulger, molly? >> reporter: he remains in federal custody as you would expect facing seriou

thought he had a deal with john boehner that included raising revenue and they were both going to get gregg at the end of the day at that that they succeeded and eric cantor blew it up that very very interesting answer africana rushing to be very pleased to hear that right now. you know in his speech today the president is on with doing anything but celebrating but he did sort of seem to want to make sure that his base knew that he was still fighting for them i want to play a little bit about what he said and i will talk about it. and since you can't close the deficit with just spending cuts we'll need a balanced approach where everything is on the tape yes that means making some adjustments to protect health care programs like medicare so they're there for future generations. it also means reforming our tax code so that the wealthiest americans and biggest corporations pay their fair share. and it means getting rid of taxpayer subsidies to oil and gas companies and tax loopholes that help billionaires pay a lower tax rate. teachers and nurses all right so it sounds a little that like we're

caller: hi, gregg. does the fbi sometimes get their information wrong, with a wrongfully accuse someone of something? i will bring the case up, i don't know if you have anything to do with it or anything. [unintelligible] the that's not familiar? guest: does not sound familiar, but go ahead. caller: he was in chicago, and basically they said he had something to do with the brothers -- they did a movie called "casino" that had the same idea. his wife convicted him. he swore he did not do it, but basically, was doing 200 years, and john gotti followed with him later. there are not connected, i don't think -- host: are right -- caller: i would like to vindicate him, because they went after hand, and maybe he got -- maybe he was responsible for, like, tax evasion and those things that those guys do, but they got him for killing a mother, and one of the brothers is on trial -- killing a brother, and one of the brothers is on trial -- host: we will take your point about wrongful information. guest: certainly

former ambassador donald gregg is somewhat of an expert on the current situation has recently written a paper that's been published in both the united states and korea that talks about the food shortage in north korea. and in the past that our government has been one that supports supplying food to the north koreans to help them with the starvation issues they have. and he's arguing in newspaper that the united states should reinstitute that program this current administration has not decided to provide food to north korea. should we be providing food to north korea? >> i'm not sure that there's anything ambassador greatest ever written that i ever agreed with. [laughter] we've had some interesting conversations but if you don't want to call them arguments, but that's a very good question. i would say fully once, you know, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. the biggest issue, the recent white united nations, white ngos and i geos come into government or decision and non-non-governmental organizations, have what is called donor fatigue, a slang term that was invaded because nort

. >> thank you very much, gregg. t me acknowledge the wonderful partnership that we had with fema and with secretary napolitano and administrator seagate. if you are going to do to do with mother nature, you could not ask for a better set up -- toe-to-toe with mother nature, you could not ask for a better set opartners. i am not going to repeat what you have already heard about the storm. it is a very big one. it is going to cover a large amount of area. while he cannot exactly predict what curveball mother nature is going to throw at you, i do feel that the americared cross is better prepared, more prepared than ever. we have forced a number of partnerships with the state based organizations like the national baptist convention, like the southern baptist convention, a lot of the ngo's like the naacp and a whole host of other faith based organizations and non-profit organizations. we are anticipating that it will be a huge geographical area with lots of people enacted. from a time perspective, this could take weeks,

gregg, the one to address that? >> as the secretary says, we had been putting money back in as of early this week. we are over $900 million in the relief fund. we are looking at making sure we have the resources to respond. we still have open disasters, including pr, as well as storms all the way back to early spring. we are continuing the immediate needs a response to those areas in preparing for this response as well. as dale told you about going to red cross, you can also go to ready.gov. m.fema.gov will link to mobile information from us as well as the hurricane center's. you can get information when you are moving and keep track of the storm and how to prepare. >> thank you very much.

senator gregg was just a key member of the commission. it is no doubt by far the big structural issue in the united states is our fiscal deficit. it is a formidable issue. coming back to the bowl since then deficit commission, i think what they show to the rest of the world is what a lot of the markets already understand. we are such a rich country and such a big economy that if we act soon and there is a shared sacrifice, we can solve the problem by exporting the sacrifice brought different segments of our country's social upper passed to sacrifice too much. the longer we wait, obviously, the more difficult it will be. what do we have to do to get our fiscal house in order? i think it comes down to -- we need to grow. when we go about it, we have to reform entitlements. we have to reform a tax system. we have to reform a tax system so it gives us the revenues we need and give us growth. i start off by saying, despite all the criticism and how poorly the government performed and all of that, i think the criticism is deserving. let me tell

gregg and his colleagues published in 2010 and analysis of the literature from 1960 up through 2002. it summarizes the e fax any program that served 8325 your old. it could also have been a program that was just nine months. this chart summarizes the e fax of the cognitive domain. it was not the only domain that was looked at. but because of studies have focused on that to a lesser extent, you cannot really break those defects out in the same way and look at the influences on them in the same way that you can analyze the data on cognitive and pacs because there are so many more studies that measure this. one of the it things that makes a difference is the quality of the design. in studies that use more rigorous search designs. the e immediate impact or the impact at the end of treatment which was typically at age five was about 0.7. seven tents of the standard deviation. to put that into perspective, head start children start about a standard deviation behind. if you want to think about the achievement gap for kids by headstart or other programs for children in poverty, what is the g

my name is gregg. we've developed autonomous rhode craft and i'm interested in your thoughts on the shipping board aircraft, the trade between the larger and more capable costly aircraft versus the more plentiful and less costly more autonomous aircraft. 64. i think that is one of the other areas where a couple of years ago we made another decision that is reflected in our programs that you see today. there was early on i believe in what i would call the explosion of unmanned air systems that everyone wanted to get into the game of the most active system at the time i was looking at our budget and at the capabilities that we had, and i began to look at the future that we would encounter. for me it became important that we in the navy focused on our strength which is coming from the sea. and so we were investing in the airborne systems the required us to the shore that required us to have additional manpower structure to be at the short that required us to be able to train those people and how you live
