boone pickens -- here's the good thing about t. boone pickens.he says we cannot natural and per our way out. t. boone pickens, note revolutionary leftist. [laughter] right? lightning texas oilman who funded the swift voted tax on john kerry. he says we can't drill and per our way out. he is right on that and then he says to other things. one is right and what is wrong. he's 100% right on the wind potential for this country. and those of you who are concerned about birds and bats, we are not -- we figured out the light speed of oscillation to protect the birds. we haven't figured out regarding backs but there is a smart way to do wind, and so, he is right about that. he is half white and half wrong. he is wrong about natural-gas. i think his judgment might be skewed by the fact that he owns all of it. [laughter] but i don't think that we can afford to try to do a double fault here. he says we should retrofit all of our engines and everything to run on the natural gas and then figure out how to the plug and hybrid spigot i just think that's a lot o

adam lind, struck out, ground ball to second. >> rob: bob boone called it your ace. throw your ace over the plate and see if they can hit it. >> bob: there you go. >> rob: i like what bob boone had to say. he said, listen. 0-2, throw your best pitch right here. let's see if wha this guy can do with it. i think the simplifying the game plan has really helped the pitching staff. >> bob: in case adam lind hits a ground ball, scott rolen is one of the best base runners in baseball despite the fact he's huge and not a real speed guy. i wouldn't want to be having him coming at me on a ground ball. play off to the left side. he's always been known as a big man who goes first to third really well. i've seen him -- i saw him take out two middle infielders on the same grownd ground ball one night on a ball -- same ground ball one night on a ball. >> rob: he's like an olde old time football player who didn't wear a helmet. >> bob: he was recruited to play college basketball. he signed with hugh durham at the university of georgia before he signed with the phillies and eddie sut

george byrd grenl, an undersung hero of america, co-founded the boone and crockett club with roosevelt. it was specifically formed in the late 1880's out of new york to save the big game of america, to save buffalo, antelope, deer, caribou from being exterminated. they would commission articles and roosevelt would write them -- see, this one's on elk. these are great old books that roosevelt got very involved in bringing out these boone and crockett club books. it was about gentleman hunters. they were working to save animals to shoot animals. people have problems with that some today. but it was the hunters of america that really form the early conservation movement. it was done by field and forest magazine, and what became "field and stream" magazine, but all those sporting journals that started putting that you've got to have bag limits, you've got to put a fish back if it has eggs, you've got to not shoot a doe. we take this for granted now. but roosevelt was -- and george byrd grenel, at a ohio university, he proofread my chapters on grenel, because he's the other important figure

he would juggle with navy and this boon and crockett club on top. and roosevelt just didn't know about gray wolves are cougars, he was the world's authority. in a science way. and the co-founder of the boon and crockett book, and it was formed to save the big game of america. buffalo and antelope and deer to prevent from being extinct. these are great books that roosevelt got involved and it was about gentlemen hunters. they were working to save animals to shoot animals. some people have problems with that today. it was the hunters of america that formed the early conservation movement. it was done by feed and forest magazine and field and stream. but those sporting journals, that put in you have to have bag limits. you have to put a fish back if it has eggs. you have to not shoot a doe. and we take this for granted. and the scholar at ohio university, and he proved chapter on garnel, because he's another important figure. garnel was the american authority on game. >> who pays for all of your travel to all of these sites and this research done? is t

-- boone in the heart of the high country. doc's vision for this organization is nothing short of inspiring. as a person who grew up carrying water, i'm particularly sensitive to this issue. doc started wine to water after doing some water sanitation work in darfur, sudan, with samaritans first, another exceptional relief works located in boone, north carolina. wine to water was founded on the premise of giving the nor fortunate members of our society -- more fortunate members of our society the opportunity to bring life giving water to people without access to clean drinking water around the world. wine to water which takes its name from the first miracle performed by jesus during his earthly ministry took an otherwise everyday event like a wine tasting and turned it on its head. by using wine events to raise money and awareness about the lack of of clean drinking water in the developing world, doc has harness add powerful social force and multiplied the against ross it of many, including a core of dedicated a.s.u. students w

boone since it's father's day this weekend. >> bob: how is he doing? >> rob: he's doing wonderfully and had successful heart surgery n about a week, he can do almost anything. he can resume regular activities. he's doing cardiovascular work right now. he's doing great. >> bob: aaron visited the nationals clubhouse in arizona and looked great. we could tell he lost some weight. he said he was going to take a while to get his strength back. he is still hopeful of playing major league baseball again. we hope he does. if he doesn't, rob, that guy is going to be one of the best coaches or managers you could ever sign up for a ball club. >> rob: i just think it's amazing that they found the heart valve problem in college and he played his entire major league career with that problem until they had to fix it. >> bob: josh bard on a changeup way out ahead. scott rolen always one of the best arms in baseball. that's the first out, bottom of the second. >> rob: let's see how a 6'6", 220-pound guy does it from the side. you see that little swoop to get into that

. >> rob: well, bob boone caught 225 games in his career third on the all-time list that rodriguezhaspassed carlton fisk. >> bob: jammed on. here is our interleague updays. american league won 67, national league 58. so, national league picked up four wins more than the american league did yesterday thanks in part to the nats. and a breaking ball popped up straight back. interleague numbers, american league 46 more home runs, e.r.a. better. look at that. national league has a better average with the dh's. >> rob: they're liking that dh. whoo-hoo. >> bob: for a change, the national league pitchers are outhitting the american league guys. i was getting tired of seeing those guys outhit our guys. rolen drives it to center. right there is willie harris. he deserves an easy play after what he did last night. here come the nats. good first inning for jordan zimmermann. - it's on. - oh, it's on, all right. - it's on. - it is totally on. jimmy, it's on. it's on. oh, yeah, it's on. pilot: affirmative, it's on. it's easy to identify the leaders of tomorrow. they're all around us. which is why p

boon and with regard to a bit of a back-water and so you didn't have the kind of high status, you knowlabel attached to that area of activity. so that was one problem. another problem was that actually not having lots of journalists pour all over the credit works was fine. i'm not saying it's deliberate of let's go and hide what we're doing but it was just one of those situations that kind of suited everyone just well. you know, the bankers became like, you know, the financial priest if you'd like who spoke financial latin. the congregation just sat there. the congregation by and large were quite happy to let the priest, you know, carrying on speaking the latin doing what they did up in the altar just as long as he blessed everyone from time to time and the-piece didn't think to talk other than financial latin well, this is all rather complicated and let him go on with it. and, of course,, you know, politicians didn't have much incentive to rock the boat either because it was a fantastic credit boon. and so everyone was going along and joining the party. there was also the simple probl

boone pickens wants to do, we will need to have natural gas. i do not want those supplies to be imported, i do not want to know when we take this country into the same situation with natural-gas that we are in with oil, we are reliant on them for sources of oil. we have the ability to meet the needs, but we have to get this online. the news from last week about exxon, partner in with the trans canada project is good. we have always known that in order to get gasoline to the lower 48 states, -- natural gas to the lower 48 states, it would take british petroleum and, coke, figuring out how we move this farther down the pike. and we have the people with a gasoline in the same room, you have british petroleum and, co --, co -- conoco. and you have exxon trans-canada. there will be a time in the not too distant future when everyone is coming together to make this project a reality. containing this in the energy bill, there are a couple of provisions to facilitate this. in 2004, we had inserted a loan guarantee provision, and $18 billion guarantee an

boone pickens can talk about this awful addiction, as well as others, going to fund our enemies efforts against our own troops in our efforts against terrorism, that is what is going on in the final analysis. we need to make a stand for what we believe in. standing up for american dominance and superiority. the china and india nations are out there competing. we want to compete against them because we have better technology. we have to make the investment here and not in saudi arabia, and libya, and russia, and venezuela. that is where it must end today. >> the gentleman's time is expired. >> i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from california. >> not only is this legislation not the right thing, it is one of the most overreaching, damaging pieces of legislation that has ever come before this house of representatives. this national energy tax is a job killer and will cost american families over $3,000 per year while doing very little to affect global measures. rural america, low-income families, farmers will suffer the most under this new tax. we all want to protect our en

boone pickens wants to do, it depends on our ability to have supplies of natural gas, and quite honestly, i do not want those natural supplies of natural gas to be imported. i do not want to knowingly take this country into the same situation with natural gas that we are currently with oil -- we are close to 70% reliant on foreign sources for oil. we have got the ability here in this country, with alaska and natural gas, to be able to meet our needs, but we have got to get our gas online, so the news last week about exxon stepping up at partnering with the transcanada project is good. we have always known that in order to get the alaskan gas to the lower 48 market, it was going to take all of the guys that have the gas, and that is exon, b.p., and condit go -- conoco sitting down and figuring out how we move that down the pipe, and now we have the three that hold the gas, at least in the same room. now, there are now sitting in the same place. now you have exxon transcanada. i cannot predict, but there will be a time in the not too distant future where everyone comes together to make thi

ago, we did not have the courage to make the stand for the patriotic fire to stop this addiction 50 boone pickens can talk about this awful addiction and as thomas friedman said, if the american policy of the previous administration is to leave no money behind and to find our funds that we pay with american taxpayers going to fund our enemies efforts against our own troops and our efforts against terrorism, that is what this is about in the final analysis. it is about this great country of ours and making a stand for what we believe in. standing up for american dominance and superiority. yes, and the chinese and indian nations are competing and we want to compete against them. we have better technology. we just have to make the investment, here and not in saudi arabia and libya and venezuela and russia. that is the policies of previous administrations. that is where a mess in today. >> the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from michigan? >> i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from california. >> the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> not only is this legisl

george berger ird co-founded the boone and crockett club to save the game of america, to save buffalo, antelope, deer, terrible from being exterminated. they would commission articles and roosevelt would write this one right here on elko. you can just turn the pages. roosevelt got involved in bringing out the books. it was about gentleman hunters. they were working to save animals to shoot the animals. people have problems with that today. it was the hunters of america that formed the early conservation movement. it was done by field and forest magazine. field and stream magazine writer. all of the sporting journals that started putting in -- that you have to have bag limits, you have to put a fischbach if it has eggs. you have to not shoot a dove. -- you have to put a fish back, if it has eggs. at ohio university, a man there? read my chapters on george byrd grunell. he was the american authority on game. >> who tased for your travels to all these sites and all the research? is tha-- who pays? >> my publisher and gives me an advance. this book on theater roosevelt was very expensive

government spending is a boon for people living here, but government hiring is not an effective method for aggregate job growth or all state employment gains. we can look at the home foreclosure numbers. nationally, the foreclosure stated rate is 1.4% compared to just 1% a year earlier. the foreclosure inventory stands at 3.9% compared to 2.5% a year earlier, while 7.2% of mortgages or seriously delinquent, compared to 4% the year earlier. in texas, the inventory of foreclosed mortgages is 1.7% compared to 1.5% the prior quarter. needless to say, these trends are troubling. what is most troubling is the fact that these are not for closures due to an unexpected uptick on the adjustable rate mortgage or the result of some subprime mortgage swindle. these problems have been purged from the financial system. these foreclosure numbers represent homes in trouble or lost due to loss of family income related to loss of jobs. we can take away the bank's ability to force -- to foreclose, but these actions ignore the source of the problem. they need to be addressed before major social initiatives

make natural gas -- ask boone pickens what he thinks about natural gas. we have a tremendous opportunity. host: our guest is senator married landriue. ue. host: the know where denham springs is? guest: us, i do. caller: yes, i have called the senator's office quite often. what has me puzzled here is, if we are needing oil so bad, why have the oil companies cut the rigs in half in the past four years? why have they cut the oil rigs in half in the state of louisiana over that time? why are you pushing a single- payer health care, mary? it will get you in trouble. you know what i'm talking about. guest: let me take the first question. you are right, ri rightg count is down by 50% because the prices have fallen so precipitously. they are on the rise again. they were all the way down to $40 per barrel. the last look it was at $85 per barrel. i am not defending the industry. i think they have lots of problems, but it is difficult to plan billions of dollars of investments if the product you so one day is $40 and the next day is $140. our goal is to help and sta

roosevelt with the boone and crockett club went to congress and fought to preserve the integrity of yellowstone. 90% of americans would say that's a good thing. >> do you like the idea that he would declare that is going to be a wilderness. >> i do. >> how would you like it someone did that at your home? >> that is what it was like back then. it was a moment to save our species and habitat. he had hiked to the top of the matterhorn and not see any wildlife. you go to our western mountains, you're going to see wildlife. it is special. if anybody who has ever interacted with wildlife and saw spotted owl at the laforce logo to yellowstone and see a black bear or herd of elk, it is all inspiring. parents want their kids to see it. roosevelt worked to save that. the left had trouble with roosevelt as a hunter. he was always under. they have trouble with him because he wanted to wipe out predators. he was the world's experts on cougars. he wrote many essays about them. he would collect cougars and mountain lions and knew all about them. also, different types of condoleezza and gray wolves. they were

. >> in the short term, it has been a boon to cable and satellite because they have been able to get more customers. this is an opportunity for consumers to cut the cord and stop paying for tv. >> i heard a rumor that a lot of the televisions inside this building are analog. >> we are pretty much all digital hear it in this building. i have had a digital television for years. we are prepared for the digital television transition. >> i think that is everything. >> when the digital transmission happened yesterday, people that normally had their analog signal, once they switched to digital, they might have lost what they normally would have been able to see in terms of distance. some people in the new york market live on the french and switched to digital and may not be able to get that signal any more. how is the fcc addressing the loss of stations? >> you have to identify what the problem could be. they might not have the converter box put up right where they might have they antenna problem. boston might have an antenna problem. -- they might have an antenna problem we are going to be

however, government spending is a boon for people living here but government hiring is not an effective method for aggregate job growth or industry-wide all states employment gains. to illustrate the real impact of the job losses we certainly could look at the home foreclosure numbers. nationally foreclosures -- the foreclosure stated rate the homes that are starting to enter the foreclosure process is 1.4% compared to just 1% a year earlier. the foreclosure inventory stands at 3.9% compared to 2.5% a year earlier while 7.2% of mortgages are are delinquent compared to 4% earlier. in texas the inventory of foreclosed mortgages is 1.7% compared to 1.5 the prior quarter and 1.45% for all of the past year. needless to say, these trends are troubling. what is most troubling is the fact that these are not foreclosures due to an unexpected uptick on the adjustable rate mortgage or the result of some subprime mortgage swindle. these problems have for the most part been purged from the financial system. these foreclosure numbers represent homes in trouble or lost due to loss of family income rel

operate in a transparent fashion so that taxpayers know this money is not being wasted on a bunch of boon dog els. and i think that sometimes good news comes in what you don't hear about. and you haven't heard a bunch of scandals, knock on wood, so far. that doesn't mean that the thing going to be nawless. but i think it is fair to say that given the speed with which we've acted, all of you can be proud that many of the safeguards and transparency measures that have taken place so far seem to have worked. we've got to keep that up. because at a time when everybody's tightening their belts, the last thing the american people want to see is that any of this money is being wasted. now, i know that there are some who despite all evidence to the contrary still don't believe in the necessity and promise of this recovery act. and i would suggest to them that they take to the companies who because of this plan scrapped the idea of laying off employees and in fact decided to hire employees. tell that to the americans who received that unexpected call saying, "come back to work." tell it to the ame

boone pickens wants to do. it's to have available supplies of natural gas. and quite honestly i don't want those available supplies of natural gas to be imported lng. i don't want to knowingly take this country into the same situation with natural gas that we are currently with oil. we're close to 70% reliant on foreign sources for oil. we've got the ability in this country with alaska's natural gas to be able to meet our needs. but we got to get our gas online. so the news last week about exxon stepping up and partnering in with the trans-canada project is good. we've always known that in order to get alaska's gas to the lower 48 market is it will take all the guys who have the gas that is exxon, bp and conoco sitting down with the state working a deal and figuring out how we move that down a pipe. and now we have the three who hold the gas at least in the same room. now, they're not all sitting at the same table but they are in the same room. you've got bp and conoco that have formed up their partnership which is denali. they're advancing field work and no

. >> manny has seen a lot of pitching and bob boone knows pitching better than anybody, i mean he caught forever, 24 years i think, we called him fish hat depending, had to come back and play one more game so he could surpass bob's all-time record for most games caught and when bob likes this kid, i like him. >> all those strikeouts, that fastball frying flying through, could be a national very, very soon, hopefully before august 15th. we'll see what happens. stephen strasburg working undertake there for san diego state. the number 1 pick for the nats. more from nats extra after this. they let you put whatever you're watching down here, while you check out local traffic, weather, even your news up there. i've got a news flash you're out of mayo. how did you get in here? door was open. you'd have tons of ways for you to search for content: by actor, director, any word at all. what about chicken? chicken's fine. any word. no i mean do you have any chicken? i want to eat some chicken. one of the coolest things you can do with fios... ...is stream your music and your photos from your compute

. >> rob: i spoke with bob boone the other day, the vice president in charge of player development for the nationals, caught over 2,000 games. there you see that great change- up to huff. he said, you can no longer throw to a catcher and hit the glove and get the called strike. you can't put the catcher's body out away from the plate any longer. they're not calling that. that's because of this evaluation zone camera in every ballpark, so they're having to reteach the catchers in the minor league systems to move the glove away from the plate, leave their bodies behind home plate. >> jim p.: that's why giving a target is so important. you try to do it late. some hitters do look down. josh bard right here. moves in early. >> bob: that results in a grounder pulled, to zimmerman, on to belliard. the orioles are gone in the bottom of the third. from that first dollar forward, cash flow isn't just an important thing to small business. it's everything. that's why pnc is introducing your new cfo, cash flow options designed to effectively improve your cash flow. cfo helps every dollar work harde

boone pickens can get out across this country and talk about this awful addiction and as thomas friedman said very eloquently, if the american policy of the previous administration is to leave no moola behind and find our funds we pay with american taxpayers, going to fund our enemies' efforts against our own troops in our efforts against terrorism, that is what this is about in the final analysis. it's about this great country of ours and making a stand for what we believe in, standing up for american dominance and for american dominance and superiority. yes, the chinese and indian nations are out there competing. we want to compete against them because we have better technology. we just have to make the investment here. and not in saudi arabia and libya and venezuela and russia and that's what the policies of previous administrations have led us to and that's where it must end today on this floor. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from michigan. mr. camp: i wish his passion was directed at helping the american people. i yield two minutes to the ge

starts this aggressive conservation program because he had created the first game boon and -- he created the first wild life protection for big game group. he was a member of the audubon society and as governor of new york, t.r. had been considered a radical on preservation of natural resources. in 1903, t.r. gets on the train and goes to yellowstone with john burrows. then he goes to the grand canyon and ends up in the redwoods of northern california and then goes to yosemite. here is the president of the united states with john muir and they camp out. they camp out under these redwood trees which roosevelt thought the redwoods were great ca they drals. he would use religious imagery of redwoods. they slept in a snowstorm without a tent and he said the greatest day i ever spent in my life freezing in a snowstorm with john muir. they would try to outnaturalist each other. nobody new birds like t.r. muir was a botanist so he would talk about the plants. roosevelt was outplaying them on birds. they had a friendly competition. roosevelt thought muir was a great man. muir thought that in ext

roosevelt and the boon and crocket club went to congress to stop it to protect the integrity of yellowstone. 90% of the americans would say it's a good thing. >> do you like the idea that he just declared that is going to be a wilderness -- >> i did. >> how would you like it if someone declared your home? >> that's what it was like back then. it was a moment to save wild america and it was a moment to save our species and habitat. he had hiked to the top of the matter horn and he didn't see any wildlife. you go to our rocky mountains, you're going to see wildlife. it is special. anybody who has ever interacts with the wild, a saw a spotted owl up in olympic national forest or you go to yellowstone and you get a chance to see a black bear or a herd of elk. it's a inspiring. parents want their kids to see it. roosevelt was working to save all of these. the left has had trouble with roosevelt as hunter. he always was a hunter. they have trouble with him because he wanted to wipe out predators. he was the world's expert on cougar. he wrote many essays about them and would collect cougars, mount

boone pickens has said we're not going to drill our way out of this given crisis. this energy crisis needs to be addressed in a constructive way. the constructive way reminds us that there are ways -- ways to produce power, as you suggest, without a fuel cost and then our fuel of choice needs to be energy efficiency. that plant which we never built simply because we have reduced demand by a given order of megawatts is then allowing us to avoid the construction of a larger facility. and we can do that. when you look at the side of this nation, the population, the business sector, any one percent of improvement translates into a huge supply, as representative con ly mentioned earlier, of power saved. and the demand side of the equation was not addressed by the previous administration. it was supply, supply, supply. how much more can we create and let people consume? we have some of the most glut news to consumption in the entire world. and we know that there are ways to allow us to be more efficient and provide those savings by addressing demand side solutions and i

john friedman practiced his entire career in boone, north carolina, and i hope dr. john, wherever he is, is doing well if he happens to be tuning into c-span tonight. i wanted to say before referring to and yielding time to my colleague from georgia, a fellow physician, dr. paul broun, also a family practitioner from athens and augusta area, there was a letter sent within the last couple of days addressed to our leaders, to our leadership in the house, to speaker nancy pelosi, and our minority leader, john boehner, also to majority leader of the senate, harry reid and senate minority reeder, mitch mcconnell, the national coalition on benefits, madam speaker, talking about the opposition to a public plan. the strong opposition to a public plan. i don't have time to stand here and read the names, madam speakerings, of all of these firm -- madam speaker, of all of these firms, but just to mention a few, wal-mart stores, xerox corporation, well point incorporated, wire howser company, national restaurant association, bank of america, national association of health under

then if you can do that in one minute or less, or two, and then also comment on this idea that has boon moving around here about a sort of civilian ready reserve that could supplement both fema and the national guard in terms of trained person until that could be called out in the event of a catastrophic disaster which obviously we can't maintain on the call every day but it would be nice to maybe have something like that. maybe we don't need it. maybe that's what the red cross is going to do or maybe that's the role the national guard plays. but if there is a gap. so comment on the national guard and then this ready reserve ideas. >> thank you, madam chair. national guard is a ski component of any state government government ability to respond. they are a force multiplier. and again after with your leadership upon my confirmation one of my first visits was the national guard bureau having worked very closely with mike knowing that relationship. we have a very strong statewide state system. we leverage that with the national guard so that as units rotate in and out, we have capability.
