the best book i read about washington is about a staff guy. written by harry mcfearson who came to washington to do well. his writing is so earnest and he writes so well. he tells the story of the rise of linden johnson. with each chapter of the book, as he progresses, you see in the voice that he is getting a little wiser, he is getting smarter and getting prepared for the twist of the knife. and it is in this getting emotional intelligence, this perspective i sought to replicate in my own writing. i tipped my hat to him in the title. his book was entitled "a political education" and it is nod to him i worked it into my title. his book is a gem and i commend it to you. this is stuff that happened before i showed up. i needed to know how won and lost the battles. i saw them through his eyes. the eyes of any many. it is his readers who see what life looked like to that small town public school by who showed up in oz. i had the fist feeling in 1975 and that excitement lasted for decades. let me describe how much excitement i had and how the peop

u.s.a., washington, not so much. but here in charlottesville or richmond or in lynchburg around the commonwealth or in your hometown, cities around courage, you going to want to get involved at the local level, you have a great education. some of you will be fortunate enough to also get a batten school degree. but i think you be equipped for the type of civic life that mr. jefferson originally envisioned it towards the end, when it came down to do my job talk, i confess, i did write up something about facing the committee in this book to the whole bit of telling tale. when it came down to i said isn't it weird that mr. jefferson founded a university about civic leadership and then spend 190 years, 190 is passed before he opens the public policy school. what's the deal with that? that was my smart alec question. on a close vote that brought me in anyway. how about one last question? i'm going to give it to dean harding. that was not a set a. >> this is a two-part question. part of your book is political education, and

in washington check out our king. this month the look on valley was crowned than not i want luxury housing market in the us. in fact among the top five luxury market in the country as ranked by prices and sales volume three are in the valley. the market is incredibly strong and that of course has much to do with a booming tech industry thousands of high technology companies are headquartered in silicon valley and entrances some of the biggest money makers such as apple google and facebook. but everyone is benefiting from some look on belle's latest tech boom as the demand for property goes up real estate prices are soaring. according to census bureau numbers and median household income has the look on valley is ninety thousand dollars if the average single family homes sells for about one million dollars nearly fifty five percent of workers in the region do not make the ninety thousand dollars necessary to support a family of four in the region. but perhaps the growing economic disparity is best defined by a burgeonin

reichert from washington. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington is recognized for three minutes. mr. reichert: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, there are a few things going on here. one, you have an american family, hardworking american families who are working hard every day to juggle their lives, to provide for their families, provide for their children. they're trying to make ends meet, put food on the table and clothes on their backs. and what happens is this obamacare 30-hour rule could seriously jeopardize all of those efforts. 30 hours instead of 40 hours. secondly, under obamacare, employers are already cutting workers' hours just to avoid the employer mandate. so there's another burden that's placed on our employees. and our employers. third, now the law is changing the standard definition of a full-time employee to someone who works 30 or more 40 rather than 40 or more hours. workers are taking home less pay each month as a result of that. inst

and all of washington. mr. bastian also served as a judicial pro tempore in the municipal courts and recently he had the opportunity to lead the washington state bar association. as the president of that organization, mr. bastian focused on ethics, professionalism and civility in the legal profession. he has a long and wide-ranging background in the law and community, so that's exactly why we should put him on the federal bench. his legal career exemplifies public service, a commitment to justice and a stellar legal intellect. i am confident that he will serve the eastern district well, so i hope that, madam president, we will move forward on these nominees this afternoon and confirm mr. bastian. i thank the chair. madam president, i yield the floor, and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent the call of the quorum be terminated. the presiding officer: without objection

but isn't it candidates selected in washington, people in washington, politicians in washington looking for a winner, not someone who won't rock the boat. you have to have someone who can win. some think jeb bush can win. i don't think if that's the case. we'll see -- why the fault line cracks just based on the immigration statement he made. how long will this continue? and i think you're right. if it continues for two, three, four weeks with rand paul jumping in and whacking jeb bush, i think he might pull back a little. >> bush versus clinton, willie, it's again with more americans disgusted with washington, d.c. than ever before, either party going back 25 years in a rematch of a battle 25 years ago, i think is actually taking risks. sometimes doing the most, quote, conservative thing can be the most dangerous. >> yeah. i think that's probably true. it's not exactly a new day if you're talking about bush versus clinton. but it's nice in practice and it's well and good, excuse me, in theory to say we can't have an establishment candidate. who is that non-establishment candidate who al

and washington keeps the blame for ukraine's crisis soley on russia using rhetoric to pave the way for tougher u.s. and e.u. sanctions against moscow. this once thriving factory has been idle for two years now the foreigners are leaving and the contracts have tried out also the crippled and a dependent economy of afghanistan facing financial collapse as international investors threaten to pull out alongside foreign troops. and immigrants form their own party in the u.k. to counteract their negative image of foreign workers created by a media stories and right wing politicians. worldwide news live from moscow it's r.t. international with me will receive thank you for joining us today approach unity rally in the ukrainian city of holocaust spun out of control and bring in violence here activists defying the authority of kiev found themselves outnumbered by nationalists who were holding the march. now both sides used pounds and stones and several people were left injured for the fighting was allegedly triggered when arguments broke out protesters also damaged a car reportedly because the

spend more time in washington. to workant them together and get along more, you will want them to be in washington more. you do build those relationships that make it harder to just be .gly for political purposes it just lends itself to more compromise. >> here is a question from our -- shee, from kate atkin writes, what message do you have for the millennial generation both his voters and individuals who might run for office or otherwise engage with government? what responsibilities and incentives to they had to get involved, and how should they get involved? i wonder also if there might be some attitude among some young people, why would they want to get involved in a political system where it is so hard to get things done and where there is such a personal cost? havethink the millennials already proven, if you look at the last presidential campaign, that they are interested. they want to be involved. they want to be engaged. they don't necessarily know means,hat all of that but what they do know is who they want

this ensured that our t washington dc. the journalist and author chris hedges believes it's not the first on washington's taylor a storyline to win the battle unfortunately the press united states become. very anemic if not totally subservient about. there is as with any government official narrative of that they seek to disseminate to the. the last thing they're interested in is an honest debate. they asked. they will take and selected shoes socks and sometimes even incidents are not fact. to perpetuate the narrative that they seek to disseminate let's go to marina to the iraq war and they would lead to my house we stopped in york times many would cite the new york times has an authority that this is. this is business as usual that narrative about the ukraine. ip is an example of that but it's hardly isolated example. meanwhile russian journalists are facing growing pressure in ukraine and there have been numerous cases of attention to protection and even physical assault on russian reporters. its first major tv networks

and fix things in washington. the only thing is to fix washington back where it belongs to the states and the people. i think that we have an opportunity to do that because as we pointed out in the book the success in the country today are all around us in the states that are promoting more choice in education. kids are getting a better education and states that are developing their own energy, pennsylvania has joined in that. you are seeing prosperity coming you see even private citizens insure themselves. so there are solutions and we don't need to bring things to washington where they don't work. and if it worked we could sit down and have an honest debate whether we want washington or the states to do it but you would be hard-pressed to find any federal program that is working efficiently as promised. >> whatever you want to label them. today i made a big deal about this on th on a on the show andt know whether anybody picked up on it at the former white house chief of staff said something on bb double to me o

is peter cook in washington. against that backdrop, what do you see are the real chances of an overhaul of freddie mae and freddie mac over here a time soon in d.c.? >> if we have a republican today, you will definitely see some sort of reform. can we really get investors to 10% of and take 5% or the credit risk and housing bonds? >> what do you think of that? is that what would happen? isconceptually it attractive. there are certain indicators out there that we are going to see change both to the enterprises, fannie and freddie, have been trying to sell credit risk to the market. overall, you have got to remember it has always been a government-backed market. the private sector has never really supported housing in this country going back 100 years. why are conservatives, my friend at the american enterprise institute, talk about this conceptually, my answer is ok, fine, but realized the way to we get investors to buy housing today is by making it a commodity so they don't have to actually do the particular cred

that did not come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. it came from the american people. is reason i am optimistic because i'm blessed to have the opportunity serving the senate to travel across the country. let me tell you the same thing is happening all over this country. people are waking up, men and women who have never been involved in politics are looking up going what has happened to this country? we are losing our freedom and losing the future for our kids and grandkids. let's get back to the free market at the polls. let's get active constitutional liberties this nation was built on.

. >> how many have been to washington d.c. recently? in a blue my mind is that one of the only major cities where they are building? it looks like 1990's. it is like the gold rush. >> bad government is growing bigger than it has ever been. but when power concentrates so does power over the dodd/frank to protect the little guy eight written mostly by the big st. banks that caused the problem in the american heart for community banks to succeed it happens all the time though lobbyist working with regulators creating a the regulatory regime that make hard for competitors to compete with. what i hope the book will do is convince americans to stop electing people regardless of party who say they will go to washington and fixings the only way they can fix things is to flesh out of washington where it to the longs. we have an opportunity to do that because the successes in our country are all around us that promote more choice in education and the states are developing their own energy. even with some merit in health services so you don't need

happy easter from foxñr news in washington. añr deadly gun battle at a checkpoint in eastern ukraine broken the fragile truce there. the checkpoint set up by pro russian separatist was attacked by far right ukrainian nationalists, all of this is raising new doubts about the peaceÑi agreement the u.s. help broker between russia and ukraine. we want to bring in our fox news correspondent live from eastern ukraine with the latest. >> chris, as is typical in this conflict, theÑi ukrainians are blaming the russians, meanwhile, the russian foreign ministry put out a statement blaming ukrainians for breaking this truce. actual truce on the ground are hard to come by. certainly though this morning the attack moved a region which is on the brink ofÑi war alread closer. video from the scene shows twoÑ burned out cars and the remnants of a large fire fight. ukrainian interior ministry confirmed that three russian separatists are dead and a number of others are wounded. who exactly was behind at tack and who fired first remains in i d

in washington. in our poll, we asked if members of congress should move their families to washington or leave them in the district. by six to one, americans said they should leave their families in the district. they were much more concerned with members losing touch with what their constituents wanted than there was about forging relationships that would help in washington. i wonder if that's just a hurdle you can't overcome when it comes to spending more time in washington or moving your family there. >> i think the notion of leaving your family back home is a relatively new phenomenon. i mean, historically, families always moved to washington. certainly, it was expected. in the senate, for a six-year term, the idea that your family would be someplace else, and teddy used to talk about it -- he would say, they are in five days a week. the idea that your family would be someplace else was just unthinkable. it was a chance, as well, to have a chance to have dinner with your family if you could. he t
