we were fortunate in indiana not to suffer a loss of life. our neighbors to the west, illinois, took the brunt of this storm, and our thoughts and prayers were out to their families and those loved ones that were lost in that storm. there has been a good response by fema, people on the ground already, assessments are being made, and hoosiers are rolling up their sleeves and cleaning it up as we fully expect them to do, so the response has been terrific. but certainly we have to acknowledge that this caused some severe damage, but the response has been terrific in terms of addressing it. now, the bill i would like to talk about is senate bill 1471, the alicia dawn kale respect for national cemeteries act, which hopefully i think will come before the senate this week. now, i wish this legislation wasn't necessary. it shouldn't be. there were tragic events that happened on may 30, 2012. obviously, we wish that they had never happened and wish there never had to be a bill named after alicia kale. i regret the department of veterans affairs made a

the senator said back in indiana we invite the town hall or aid to cheers from we do not let her read the prayer the first evening. [laughter] there was nervous laughter but a serious point being made but where whore really soared but the lesson was very tight to the mandate of the election put this was completed to get president extraordinary powers to send aid to countries all over the world. and it made the arsenal a huge effort republican leaders that wilke said it is a matter of principle they had a wonderful dinner the night before roosevelt gave him a he went to london and testified on the hill and did roosevelts view he made the difference and he never forgot it. and he incurred the enormous political risk to 88 the base of the republican party and even though he died before the convention are before the election and he probably ruined his chances of ever holding that nomination because of what he did the act of great statesmanship that you would like to see more of today. winston churchill. churchill and roosevelt had only met once and that at a dinner in london and in 1980 t

from the west bank to indiana to all kinds of amazing places. like for instance petra in jordan. who knew? i would find myself raising a nation of chickens in between travel and business to all the people in oakland, where baker. might cushion on the fountain of peace because of my attention to some of the deep suffering in the world sometimes seemed far away. i felt torn. the condition i didn't like or recommend. and then in a dream that came to me there was a long asphalt highway like the one that passed by my grandparents place when i lived with them as an eight and nine year old. my grandfather and i said on the porch in the heat and count the cars as they whiz by. he chose red cars and i would choose blue or black. it was a sitting on cushions sort i suppose for the two of us because ours could go by and we were perfectly content. perhaps that is why in the dream the solution to my quandary was available. they are in the middle of the perfectly straight highway with a slightly fetid yellow center line that i have known and loved as a child sat by rose colored meditation cush

the district of indiana i represent is nine coal mines. every coal mine in the state, our state, 88% or so of our power comes from coal. coal supports the economy, jobs, indirect and direct, helps family put food on the table. i grew up in illinois. my dad was a coal miner. i've known the industry forever. i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that. the new performance standards for new power plants will essentially prevent you admit the policy and i quote will -- emission changes or quantify benefits through 2022. in your review, should the federal government regulate coalfire plant in the manner if there are no clear benefits? that's up or down? your statement you made incorrect there is a benefit through 2022? the quote of the first few pages of the cost-benefit analysis result in negligentble co2. >> which is a reflection of the industry and the market as it sits today. >> okay what you're saying they should regulate it even in light of the fact the epa admits there's no benefit. >> the issue that coal is not been invested except new a f

the gentleman from indiana. >> thank you for being here. i just wanted to make a brief statement about bias. i may surge and so i know quite a bit about health and i recently reviewed the data from the american association they put out about that particular manner and looked at the background on the fundin of ther the studies and low and behold, everything that they used was pretty much very far left leaning global warming activist foundations the privately funded these things. and in addition to that, the potential health benefits were based on computer modeling and not on actual data that a computer model projecting the results into the future dot based on actual textual data with human studies. to make matters worse, the computer modeling was developed by an individual who had a financial stake in the success of the model going forward. in fact i have the chief medical officer from the american lung association come down from new york and discuss this with him in my office and placed my disappointment that an organization that is so high

we have a proud auto-building history in indiana as well. we're extraordinarily proud of all of the different folks who help make our country run, who help make our cars go. and in indiana it is part of who we are, and it's great to see expansion in kentucky as well. mr. president, i'm here today to discuss the most important issue facing hoosiers and all americans, and that's getting a good job. good jobs allow us to provide for our loved ones, educate our children and ultd -- ultimately retire with dignity. good jobs are also critical for strong communities and a vibrant economy. that's why i'm proud to be part of the group of senators working on manufacturing jobs for america. it's an effort to refocus the senate on helping businesses create jobs and help communities pursue economic development in the area of manufacturing. this effort is aimed at building bipartisan support for modernizing the manufacturing sector, increasing access to capital, strengthening our workforce and creating the conditions necessary for american manufacturers t

you can see the hardest hit were the home state of senator alexander, 153 indiana 93 michigan 264 jim eads 54 new jersey 51 florida 25. 20 states and a lot of people got really really sick. i will be talking in a minute about some of those that still linger today. what this outbreak did is it brought attention to the legal and regulatory gaps that allow the owners and managers at the new england compounding center to disregard basic procedures to ensure that the products of they were manufacturing were sterile and safe. this gross negligence had heartbreaking consequences for families nationwide. patients that were sickened, patients like karina baxter whose three adorable children lost their mother. the community lost a dedicated math teacher and tutor and she died at age 56. don elliott from indiana used to scuba dive in her free time is now an unrelenting pain and has had to give job and deplete your savings. evelyn bates from michigan was diagnosed last september and continues to struggle with tremendous pain every day and his daughter had to quit her job to take care of her. denn

the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. coats: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to speak as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. coats: mr. president, among the many promises the president made when he and congressional democrats enacted their unpopular health care law nearly four years ago -- and by the way, that was enacted without any bipartisan input or support -- there was one thing in particular that americans definitely have not forgotten. it was a promise that president obama repeated over and over again to the american people at rally after rally. you can't turn on the tv these days without it being played, or the radio, or pick up a newspaper without this being played over and over again because it was so ingrained in the thoughts of the american people, this promise that the president made, so definitively shouted and pounded. "if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan. period." by saying period behind, it's sort of like it puts the stamp. that's i

the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. coats: mr. president, the president has publicly promised all americans, if you like your plan, you can keep it. if you like jur your doctor, yon keep your doctor. the only chaij chaij a see areg costs. well, senior citizens are not supposed to be affected by this obamacare. she received a letter telling that she and her husband no longer could keep their medicare advantage plan. it was terminated. so they found another plan, much higher cost, much higher premium, much higher deductible. cynthia from la fee yet, indiana, i' i am i am-employed d purchase health care separately. i am a single parent with a child in high school. i was given -- my plan was canceled and i was given an estimate for a replacement plan almost double of what i'm paying today. mr. president, you have not kept your promises for seniors. you have not kept your promise to single working mothers. you have not kept your promise to families. you've not kept your promise to the people that i represent. how can americans trust th

the presiding officer: the senator from indiana. mr. coats: madam president, there's an old expression used by many hoosiers and others across america that's time-tested -- "your word is your bond." in indiana, like so many other places across the country, we value honesty and good, old-fashioned truth telling even if it hurts a little bit to hear the truth. having spent the last previous four days in indiana listening to hoosiers, it's clear that so many people in my state, and i think i can -- as i read, nationwide -- are pretty fed up with washington right now, and they have reason to be. they're frustrated because promises that were made to them are being broken. outright guarantees have been disregarded. president obama, both before and after his signature legislation, now called obamacare, passed, promised all americans that they could keep their health insurance plans if they liked those plans. it was a promise repeated over and over again. for many americans, it was the sole reason why they supported the affordable care act, or

i had a company in indiana last week that laid off 45 employees. 45 out of 200. they serve part of iu, indiana university, they serve a lot of medical clinics, you know? that's a big chunk of your work force. that means a lot to the community, it means a lot to what you can do going forward. so we're seeing a lot of that. the other thing we're seeing, frankly, is folks trying to figure out new ways to get new revenue streams. that's not an unhealthy part of the process, how do you then monetize your network, how do you then provide different video service, how do you open -- you know, maybe you need to open a data center, maybe you need to think more aggressively about some of your i.t. services. so, you know, that's, that entrepreneurial spirit is what i'm hoping will pull our folks through. >> i guess i'm still trying to kind of get my mind around what is so wrong in practice with comparing similarly-situated companies against each other to see who's most efficient. >> guest: yes. so i think there's a couple of things. first of all, there's a lot of data that g

[applause] and many of you whose names i have not called, i beg your forgiveness. but this is a wonderful group of people, and without your generosity, the harsh collection would not exist. thank you. [applause] and now to our three distinguished panelists. and when i say "distinguished," i don't use the term lightly. really these are three of the finest scholars of african-american history in general and specifically of chicago's black history in the whole country. and to have them here to comment is a great privilege. so first person here going from left to right is dr. darlene clark hine. dr. hine earned her ph.d. from kent state university, a place that has produced many black history scholars. i first met her

but the numbers do reflect the disproportion and the indiana adequacy of what -- and the inadequacy of what we are spending now we as a nation are devoting into researching alzheimer's. the estimate, according to the national alzheimer's project act and its representatives, is in the neighborhood of $2 billion a year as the minimum we should be spending to develop dyin diagnos and cures and treatment and we should be doubling or tripling funding. and yet even this minimal fund something in danger by this sequestration, which has also jeopardized many other research projects supported by the national institutes of health. this abdication of responsibility is a tragedy -- for us as a generation who will suffer from it in intold numbers, and for the next generation that could be saved from this disease. and so i'm proud to join in this effort to match the severity of the challenge with public consciousness and awareness and, even more important, public dollars and resources that are vitally important to assure that we concur and cure as much of alzheimer's as we can as quickly as possible

i'm originally from indiana, so thank you for being a hoosier and being from indiana. let me just say, sam, i don't have, i don't have before me right now taking off the cap on the taxation. remember, taking the cap off also does affect the benefits in the future too. so it is not a total just a revenue increase because the increasing the taxation also increases the benefits that are provided in the future. having said that, i agree with youat fully, that think in the d here governments, the federal government, just like businesses like families, like universities, we have to control our spending and we have to balance it with our revenues. the difficulty here has been finding that balance and that's probably, that is the reason why we ate least now are talking, between the house and senate on where do we find the balance between additional revenues, if there are to be additional revenues. maybe not through tax rate increases but what we call government receipts, alternative ways of raising revenues. through fees maybe. >> host: are there some areas of agreement both s

that's indiana university school of law. you've written over 20 articles on constitutional and intellectual property to give an active blogger. before joining indiana university he spent two years as a lawyer at covington, one year -- u.s. court of appeals. we shared a teacher at yale law school. i think it's something to do with your reasons for in this book in first place. why don't you tell me why you chose to write about john bingham. >> well, i encountered a john bingham in law school. is always a brief mention that he is the author of the equal protection clause of the constitution that guarantees equality for all americans. and then i had defenses, most notably, who emphasize bingham's role in writing this language and no changing the constitution fundamentally from what it had been in 1787. and so i was interested in looking for a biography of the man, and i didn't find much. what i did find was disappointing. so i thought to myself, isn't that a shame that someone who did so much hasn't had a biographical treatment?

know, often seen as being more liberal than jfk, and robert kennedy campaigning in 1968 in kokomo, indiana, quote: we've got to get away from the welfare system and the idea of the dole. we've got to have jobs instead of welfare. >> still not quite welfare queens. but thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening. hopefully, that's working. so kennedy, of course, had some ambitious health care reform plans that he never was able to enact. could you speak to how his health care reform ideas connect with your argument for him as conservatives? >> sure. so the idea of medicare had been around, and, you know, it was kennedy proposed it. and he did it framed in very, in very conservative language, and i'll find that for ya. it was funny, he also -- this connects to the welfare point where, um, where he said, he proposed this medicare plan as very modest proposal, cut to meet absolutely essential needs. and with sufficient deductible requirements to discourage any malingering or unnecessary overcrowding of our hospitals. this program is not be a program of socialized medicine, it's prepayment of heal

professor gerard magliocca at indiana university. no relation but if it is an honorable name. and from the school of law you ever written three books in over 20 articles and on concurring opinions and before a joining india university he spent two years as a lawyer and one year on the court of appeals and we share a teacher at yale law school that had something to do with your reasons to right this spoken tell me why you chose to write about john bingham. >> i encountered him in law school there is always a brief management offer of the equal protection clause that guarantees equality for all americans that i have professors most notably those who emphasized his role to right this language to change the constitutionally fundamentally from what it had been in 1787. i've been looking for a biography and i did not find much and what i did find was disappointing. i thought isn't that a shame? somebody should do it. about 10 years later i decided i should be the one and that is where this book comes from. >> host: you say lincoln was the greatest constitutional paul witt the bingha

i was at a company in indiana that laid off 45 employees, 45 out of 200. it was part of iu, indiana university and they serve a lot of medical clinics. that's a big chunk of your workforce. that means a lot to the community so we are seeing a lot of that. the other thing we are seeing frankly is trying to figure out new ways to get revenue streams. that is not an unhealthy part of the process. how do you than monetize your network? how do you then provide different video service? maybe you need to open a davies -- data center and maybe need to think more aggressively about some of your i.t. services. that's entrepreneurial spirit is what i'm hoping we'll pull our folks through. >> guest: i'm still trying to get my mind about -- around what is so wrong in practice with comparing similarly situated companies against each other to see who is the most efficient? >> guest: there are a couple of things. first of all there's a lot of a lot of data that gets put into that form and i think you have to make sure you are comparing apples-to-apples. again what you wha

i was in indianapolis, indiana campaigning with robert kennedy. i had heard senator robert kennedy seeking the democratic nomination and told him i wanted to help and invite me with some of his staffers to go and work in indiana, indianapolis to get people registered to help organize the rally of meetings to be heard that doctor king had been shot and robert kennedy came in and made the announcement that doctor king had been assassinated and we all just cry and it was very sad. i don't know what would have happened to america that this man emerged as the leader of the nation. he was my friend, he was my inspiration. >> guest: robert kennedy did make a speech. he stood up in the back of the car and he spoke out of his. because of what he had to say that evening, there wasn't any violence, any disorder in the city of indianapolis. people have been trying to get me to go back and go to that spot but they are just very difficult and when they are hoped to have an opportunity to go back to indianapolis and go back to that very spot that i was that nigh

there's lots of little detroit as you know throughout the rust belt, places like youngstown, gary, indiana, and parts of cleveland. the title of my book is heartfelt but also somewhat ironic. you know, is a line from a song of the great detroit poet, ted nugent. [laughter] but it refers in the way to that moment i was describing at the very beginning of the top when i first arrived and all eyes were on detroit. detroit and judah toward project whatever you wanted on to detroit, right? so if people wanted to imagine it as this enclave for august, that's what detroit became. urban planners and urban theory types are also divided on how you could reinvent this city that was sort of like the unsolvable math problem of difficult cities for their field, were all coming to detroit to figure this out. urban farmers. so that's most of what i meant by the title. as far as a timetable for fixing detroit, it's funny, even over the course of the four years that i was there since i started working the book, i've seen some amazing transformation, particularly into downtown and midtown corporate a lot of

which is people can keep their health care they have. >> senator from indiana. >> mr. president. the president has publicly promised all americans that the election plans you can keep. it if you like the doctor you can keep the doctor. all the changes he said you'll -- the citizens from new albany who are not supposed to be citizen effected by this obamacare. she received a letter telling that she and her husband no longer could keep their medicare advantage plan. it was terminated. so they found another plan. much higher cost. much higher premium, much higher deductible. i'm a self-employed and purchase health care privately. i'm a single parent with a mortgage payment. and a child in high school. i was given estimate -- my plan was canceled and i was given an estimate for a replacement plan almost double of what i'm paying today. mr. president you have not kept your promises for seniors. so you not kept your promise to single working mothers you have not kept your promise to families. you have not kept your promise to the people that i represent. .. takeover will work if you ca

so it is an advantage to the indiana. pakistanis to get one thing with india and everything. pakistan has weapons that can be achieved. not pakistanis to trade with everybody in the neighborhood, address its economic sanctions, but the 40% of the children who don't go to school in school and make sure pakistan's operation doesn't continue to rise at a pace that none of those things can be addressed league-leading relations between american military personality. >> host: to fast-forward look at relations to the past two years, we have definitely seen in a relationship zone particularly over the rate they have interesting information about a meeting that took place in 1998, when the clinton administration was planning to do attacks on al qaeda camps in afghanistan in retaliation for al qaeda's bombing two u.s. embassies in africa. the u.s. administration was in a quandary because they did not want to inform pakistan had a ton about these attacks because they thought the pakistani isi would tip off al qaeda and other militants about the attacks. at the same time, the missiles wi

he's an indiana native who graduated cum laude with a degree in chemical engineering, and then he got a law degree from harvard. he's worked as a staff attorney for a well regarded d.c. public defender service. he was a partner specializing in white collar offense, intellectual property at the private law firm of veteran -- venable. he helped shine a national spotlight on racial profiling when he brought a landmark lawsuit against the maryland state police in 1992 after he and three family members were stopped and searched. why? because they were african-americans. it was landmark litigation, mr. president. this nominee has a bright legal mind, a remarkable dedication to the rule of law. under normal circumstances, like the circumstances of his 2010 confirmation, he would be quickly confirmed, but now he faces a republican filibuster. unfortunately the type of republican obstructionism we face today has become commonplace. president obama's circuit court nominees have waited seven times longer than those nominated by president bush. republicans claim they're blocking nominees to this

mike pence of indiana. he's kind of laid low so far but i'm hoping he will throw his hat in the ring. one thing is certain for the republican party. in order for the republican party to win again the need to overcome a couple things. one is a tremendous technological disadvantage they demonstrated in 2012. second, we have to nominate someone that is willing to draw a stark contrast between the conservative movement and the liberal movement. we are not going to win. republicans are not going to win claiming they can run the government better. the government ring no one can wield this thing. the government has to be taken down. it has to be shortened. it has to be curved. it has to be controlled. and the idea that the government is just a tool that can be wielded by anybody lee and that republicans are better at managing things, maybe we are better at managing american decline but you are still managing a decline so long as government continues to grow at this rate. >> host: ben shapiro why are you currently

based on the assumption that pakistan is america's ally in indiana soviet ally and the allied wins and america is humiliated but guess what despite the american health, india did win and they were accused of supporting pakistan's genocide. move fast forward. president reagan was involved in the jihad in afghanistan and that is a project that was started long before the american support. if there wasn't an american project was a pakistani project supported by the u.s. they provided the guns, but the isi, the rand operation. but towards the end, george herbert walker bush becomes president and realizes that some of the jihad e-groups of a train printer with afghanistan are now being diverted and he threatens pakistan with the potential of accusing it of being a state sponsor of terror purpose and. and in 2,008 they basically right in the memoirs that i realized that musharraf should have warned me earlier that he wasn't going to be that all of his energy to fighting terrorist. >> host: talking about the u.s. president also talking about admiral mullen who met with general key on the 26 t

indiana isn't that a liberal state. i can't blame anyone for richard murdoch, another when you started talking about race and abortion. we need to have a series of unfortunate hunting accident in some of these cases. oh, my gosh. what are you doing? you are too stupid the features of and you're running for senate? the same thing with aiken. they may have the republican candidate consults to do with your just trying to line their own pockets and not run the strongest candidate. speaking to people who are tea partiers, the main thing i would say is run -- good candidates, don't make mistakes and avoid primary our own and to have a nice big fat veto proof majority. i mean, seriously i wouldn't primary john mccain these days. he voted against obamacare. there is no republican ideas like more than john mccain, none. you may recall, i was for hillary in 2008.

experience resembles ours, because once you went to the garment factory and the steel mill in northern indiana and pennsylvania, once you went to the coal mines. you worked all the time too. just like we do, and your hungary speaking, polish-speaking great grandparents had as much trouble learning english as we co. do. i was touring the "about to be closed" steel mills. i happened to walk to the cafeteria. at beginning of the line it was clothe -- it was glossily and weird, but up on the wall was a sign that said in five languages, don't throw out the trays. [laughter] if everybody had learned english as i keep hearing they did. right when they got here. yeah, quoting robert frost but, you know, they wouldn't have had to put up there in five languages "don't throw out the trays." and so i know in the immigrant past people who came as adults and people when had to work long hours had sometimes a spotty command of the language. we used to assume it was part of the immigrant experience. now we want something from people who just got here in some cases nap we never asked from our former selfs. it

unfortunately he was killed and buried in a cornfield in indiana. >> host: worry his lawyer? >> guest: i was his lawyer for many years. he never spent one day in jail except one time i was trying to case, representing kansas city in a trial wasn't over. tony was arrested for murder. he waited until i got back. post the mr. goodman, is there such thing as the mafia? >> guest: there was a time i would've sworn there was sent. the head of the fbi was telling me there was a period if you don't believe the head of the fbi, who can you believe? they said it was the greatest lie ever told. there is no mafia. where i really found out about what i was doing, because i was representing competing families. i know idea of the structure until i began to listen to the wiretaps and read the search warrants and see the movie casino to find out how to really know what is doing and representing it would've charged a lot ore. i would've on the islands in the caribbean and flown private planes and unlimited supplies without being the spokesperson. after a while i found that there was the mafia.

they have them running against lee terry now and in indiana's second district and new york's 23 district and michigan's 7th district. so democrats are trying to compete where they failed to recruit top tier people in 2012. ask the other types of republicans we should keep an eye on are the republicans sitting in democratic seats. gary miller in california is one of the most watched. mike hoffman in colorado. david valejo in california. chris gibson in upstate new york. and then frank lobe in new jersey might be a bell whether because he has survived ever bad election and democrats are never challenged but they are talking it now. democrats versus house republicans is the second. we have nine freshman democrats and one is a senior. the new epa regulations have problems in south virginia. third is open seats. and we need more republican retirements to say democrats have a sense of momentum. so far from the open seats where members of the house are running for higher house we have 17 of them. and they are playgrounds for e ideaologlogy groups. 12 on the republican side and 5 on the democrat

someone else to get them in the race like governor christie are governor daniels former governor of indiana and governor romney didn't have widespread support although he has support from both camps. he had a relatively low ceiling on his overall support. why didn't people like governor daniels? why didn't they run? we try to excavate that question. another question was why did the republican candidates including governor romney court the endorsement of donald trump? he thought about running himself but there were real reasons why mitt romney really focused on getting the endorsement in the day he got it it was kind of a bizarre day. he was happy we got it so we tried to explain why that was so important. the presidential debates a lot of focus in real-time on president obama and what he did so poorly in the first debate and then a couple of weeks later the second debate we write about the process which he recovered to do far better in the second debate that it was not a smooth process and the question of why he did poorly in the first debate in why he did better in the second debate and cl

the presiding officer: senator coats from indiana. mr. coats: mr. president, i come to the floor today to discuss the topic of religious freedom. this issue is an important component in the debate on the legislation that we are currently considering, but it's also an issue that defines, i believe, who we are as a nation as well as the rights granted to us in the constitution. to paraphrase what thomas jefferson said in 1807, for americans, he said, among the most inestimable of our blessings is the blessing of liberty, to worship our creator in the way we think more agreeable to his will a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience in america to be its best support. from jefferson's time to today, freedom of religion has been a core american principle, a principle our founding fathers put their lives on the line for and a principle that generations of americans in uniform have defended so we can all enjoy this cherished freedom. unfortunately, this principle of religious freedom is under atta

but i also think about our indiana-based university, notre dame. despite conscious objections and the clearly outlined standards of the colleges and universities -- colleges community covenant at wheaton and the values of the university of notre dame, they have been told by the government that they are not considered religious institutions and must comply with the health and human services mandate. let me describe a little bit the threat of faith that runs through every aspect of a school like wheaton college and the values of faith expressed frequently in a number of ways by the university of notre dame. if you tune in to the notre dame football programs on saturday afternoons, as i do every week, or attend, you will see an ad by father jenkins, president of notre dame, that talks about the component and the element of faith that is essential to the beliefs of what the university of notre dame is trying to address through its education process, through its socialization process, through all, whether it's professors or students, administrators, gro

in charge of trying to set up fusion centers at state and local level as special agent in charge of indiana, one of the dill idifficulties is, for dug, there's no trouble convincing new york city police there's a terrorist threat here, they might attack here, really. if you're in other parts of the country, the police there and governors and mayors say, you know, we're worry about mexican drug trafficking organizations and drugs brought into our junior high schools or our high schools. we don't think there's a major terrorist attack from a middle east based terrorist organization in the territory. why should we, in their view, wait, police officers, on a fusion center to address federal or national security issues, and the fusion center, in turn, is not going to address what we really care about at the state and local level. that's part of the difference with local fugs centers opposed to jttfs, that the local jurisdictions out in the rest of the country just may not think it's a wise use of their resources to devote investigators and analysts to the national programs or fusion center progr
