in 19th century, the used car went to testify the unjustifiable. -- they used darwin to justify the unjustifiable. this is not the sort of world that i see around me. the world i see is immensely quarters. even our own human bodies are made of thousands of species of bacteria and fungus. they need to be there to keep me alive. we are a system a planetary complexity. that operation runs from my skin to the forests, to our great global super organism that is forming. that is what the legacy of evolution is. the survival of the fittest world, no one can survive. imagine a football team, you would have a winner at the end of the year but would not have a competition anymore. tavis: what is the reason to be hopeful? what is the reason to believe? >> evolution has given us the great apathy with each other and the great ability to communicate with each other and work together. -- abolition has given us great -- evolution has given us great empathy. every step along the way has come at great cost and sacrifice in terms of trying to create this cooperative empathy. we need hope to take up that challenge.

anything to -- greedy -- make a buck and stretch out their patents whereas thaddle that's totally unjustified because they do such marvelous work in creating, finding, discovering, new drugs. and there is no system in the world that can match ours for the discovery of new pharmaceuticals. and then the generics come along and they take all of that research and use it. and it's legitimate. but they don't spend a billion dollars in bringing a drug to market. they don't go through the agony of protocols put out by the fda. so wei not really knocking brand drugs here, are we? >> not at all. what congress said is there is a period of time where the brand manufacturer has the right to monopoly price the product and get return on that investment and there is a point at which though, consumers have the right to have access to those drugs when the patent expires. and i agree with you, this is not about knocking brand manufacturers. it's about a balance. it's finding a balance between ensuring. we have enough investment in brand pharmaceutical companies to insure a continuing stream of invasion but also

>> i hate unjustified tax breaks, but when you look at the major, quote, tax breaks the oil companiesetting, most of them are the same kinds of legitimate tax deductions that all american manufacturing companies get. the one that the president points to in 2003, where we were allowed automatic expensing of expenses that manufacturing companies get, why? to create jobs. oil and gas does create a lot of jobs. >> we want them do keep on doing it, though we have to look for other sorts of energy places to go. >> but we should be drilling here, too. the president complains about the high oil and gas prices, he's done nothing to promote -- >> steve moore, from "wall street journal," thank you. >> welcome to washington. >> thank you. >>> in england, prince william and princess catherine are spending their first weekend in private, as they should. they left buckingham palace for an unknown location. we do know the uk has more reasons to celebrate. nbc's special correspondent ben vogel has more. >> reporter: the royal wedding may be behind us, but some have simply described it as a dress rehea

first of all, they unjustifiably divert resources that essential to fueling economic growth to complying with rules that are not necessary. and in this context, as mr. zywicki has mentioned, they prevent small businesses from obtaining the credit they need to expand and creating the jobs that this economy needs. small business credit is often consumer credit. misguided regulation of consumer credit that shrinks its availability will shrink new credit that is the lifeblood of small businesses in this country. so the chamber actually looks forward to working with the consumer financial protection bureau once it is up running to meet these goals and has already had several productive meetings with some of the people designated to take roles at the bureau. but the chamber is concerned that the bureau's structure will make it impossible to achieve the goals that have been set out for it. first of all, i think it is important to make clear at the house said, given some of the earlier testimony, that the dodd-frank plain fact is-sets up for the bureau an unprecedented structure it that consolid

that that's why some of us look at the section 199 as it relates to the oil industry as either an unjustified incentive or a sub subsidy because we don't believe it is the original intent to benefit your type of activities. i just really want to put that into the record, and i very much appreciate your response. ? thank you, senator rockefeller. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to repeat and expand a little bit about what i said earlier. i really do believe that you're out of touch. i do believe that, mr. tillerson doesn't. that doesn't mean you're not good people, that you don't participate in your communities, that you don't do helpful things along with the work that you have to do, but i think the main reason that you're out of touch, particularly with respect to americans and the sacrifices that we're having to look at here in terms of trying to balance or come close to balancing a budget is that you never lose. you've never lost. you always prevailed, you always prevail in the halls of congress, and you do that for a whole variety of reason because of leadershippiests and -- lobbyiests

president, not only do i think that these remarks are unjustified, given the pace of confirmation this year -- and that's the 68% that i've referred to -- but they also fail on the part of the white house counsel to acknowledge the problem begins where? with the president of the united states and his staff at the white house, the counsel particularly. so this brings me to the point that if we're acting so slowly, why has the president failed to send to the senate a nomination for 55% of the current judicial vacancies? this statistic certainly does not indicate any sense of urgency on the part of the white house and then brings further attention to the intellectual dishonesty of the white house in his speech to the a.b.a. members that we are not acting fast enough up here on the hill. having said that, i want to say a few words about the two nominees that we're going to be voting on today. roy dalton jr. is nominated to be u.s. district court judge, middle district, florida. mr. dalton received his b.a. with high honors and his j.d. from the university of florida. following law school,

never mind the fact that this bill before us is one more unjustified giveaway to big oil. never mind all of those facts. ignore this bill, drill, baby, drill. no, thank you. i prefer to live in the real world where facts matter and where this bill could have devastating real world consequences. i urge my colleagues, remember this bill, vote down this bill. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from alaska. mr. young: mr. chairman, i say there were no facts presented in that last presentation. there were opinions. there were no facts. when everybody says never mind the facts. there was no fact there. it's all opinions. what bothers me most, they talk about the money oil companies made. they made it overseas. they made it overseas selling us oil. these are international companies. international companies. and that is something that really disturbs me when you're understanding we burn oil produced overseas. yes, they did lay off 10,000 people because of the moratorium this president placed in louisiana, in the gulf. there's where t

speaker, i commend the ress of my delegation and true honor to come to our state's defense which is unjustifiable attack. and i yield back. >> we saw the auto manufacturing company, bmw when it wanted to come to south carolina and transformed the state of south carolina. every now and an you have the opportunity to have a company like boeing, a ge that cannot just transform a community, but even more importantly, transform individual family lives by giving them the debatest of all family values, a job. and mr. mulvaney is exactly right. we come from a state that has a rich and in some instances, great history. but one thing we agree on is every member of this delegation, we represent people who want to work. and when you consider the consequences of this complaint, what are the recommends? are they really going to ask boeing to dismantle the plant that is under construction in north charleston? are they going to tell boeing, you cannot manufacture thr line in this state? or are they going to do what we really suspect what this is all about, which is negotiating strength so they can force boeing t

on safety and environmental protection, it would produce either automatic approval to drill or unjustified rejection of a valid application if the review is not completed within the allotted time. either way the imposition of an arbitrary deadline is bad policy. it's based on a presumption that environmental and safety reviews are worthless and there is really no value in getting the review right. my amendment would leave in place the permitting time line set in h.r. 1229 creating the sense of urgency my colleagues are seeking, but would remove the automatic approval of applications after that 60-daytimeline. if we learned anything from the deepwater horizon disaster, we must do more, not less, to protect those who work in the oil industry and those who depend on offshore resources and onshore resources for their livelihood. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment. and i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado rise? mr. lamborn: i claim time in opposition to this amendment. the chair: the gentleman is reco

billion annual price tag, one out of every six or seven dollars the country now spends on defense is unjustifiable given the budget crisis that we face and the need for air and naval modernization. the history of the 21st century is far more likely to be determined in the land areas of borders of asia and pacific than it is on the planes and mountains of afghanistan. we need to be better prepared for a number of future counterterrorist interventions elsewhere in the greater middle east and africa. we could also make sure we have adequate resources on the korean peninsula and iran. it's a strategic distraction. sure and simple. all of this is not an argument. but it is an argument for doing considerably less than we are doing by transitioning rapidly over the next year or year and a half to a relatively small, sustainable, strategically warranted deployment, one i would estimate to been the scale of 10,000 to 25,000 troops. the future troops should allow for continued terrorists, along the lines just carried out by u.s. special forces in afghanistan, and some training of afghan forces in both the n

embassy is saying that these scenes were unprovoked and unjustified. they condemned it.ised the protesters and insisted the president get out, transfer power asap. the problem with the situation for the u.s. is they are so worried that as this spreads, there could be a political vacuum in the country, al qaeda operates there as a base and the u.s. doesn't have a whole lot of leverage. saudi arabia does. >> it bears a lot of watching. meanwhile, in serbia, suspected war criminal ratko mladic still sitting in a serbian jail. waiting to be extradited. any timetable for when that extradition might happen? >> that is the big question, christine. what's happening right now, there are stall tactics going on. his defense lawyer has said basically he needs another medical exam. he has specific health problems. they need to call in more specialists and he is not fit enough to face genocide charges in the hague. prosecutors are saying that's not true, he is absolutely. so they're going to wait for a verdict from the court in serbia today to see whether or not to send him to the hag

they argued that public disclosure was both unjustified and dangerous to national security and it avoided congress' questions regarding the legality of the program by stating that the telegrams present somewhat different legal questions from those posed by domestic bugging and wiretappi wiretapping. and that program didn't stay secret either. the newly-formed senate intelligence committee ultimately disclosed the project shamrock program on november 6, 1975, arguing that public disclosure was needed to build support -- build support -- for a law governing n.s.a. operations. that resulting public uproar led to a congressional investigati investigation, the n.s.a.'s termination of project shamrock and the passage of the foreign intelligence surveillance act of 1978, which attempted to subject domestic surveillance to a process of warrants and judicial review. years later, during the reagan administration, senior members of the national security council secretly sold arms to iran and used the funds to arm and train contra militants to topple the nicaraguan government. selling arms to iran vi
