where is butler, and what did you give a speech, because you talk a lot about butler being an exciting place for you? rex butler is a great school. is very close to the governor's residence. it is a fine academic school and a great basketball tradition. when i was a kid, the only recreation we could afford -- you could buy season tickets for almost nothing. i have been watching their basketball teams for a long time. i do not go looking for commencement speeches, because i find and challenging to say something innovative at. i cannot say no to butler. >> one of the things you talked about is tony nicolle. >> he is the legendary coach at muller for decades, most associated with the basketball program. >> humility, unity, and thankfulness. did you know that before you gave the speech? >> there was an article in the indianapolis paper this spring. i knew there were sort of a code from the program, but there was an interesting article. it had been called the but norway -- but butler way. i thought that would be a big departure for the speech. >> here is some of what you said. where did tha

dickson butler, adrian simpson, diana simpson, derek knewberry, and the minority staff, mike ringler and john marten d it is -- martens. overall, the bill as i said includes important increases to priority programs including the needs to address violent crime, particularly crime related to drug trafficking and gangs and the need to boost our nation's competitiveness through more investments in scientific research and improving science and math and education. however, i believe we could have met the most pressing needs by prioritizing within the lower allocation. this allocation given to the subcommittee is $64 billion, $6.8 billion or 11% of 2009 this allocation allows virtually every agency, account, and program to grow and i believe there was more than sufficient amount to address the highest priority needs. the rate of increased spending in the bill corresponds with the majority's overall budget blueprint which increases discretionary spending over the current fiscal year. since the other party took control of congress, nondefense, nonveterans' affairs has increased by 85%. this r

butler, pennsylvania is our next caller. good morning. caller: good morning, gentlemen. i find you a tremendous breath of fresh air. your intellect is most impressive. my specific question for you, sir, will take you back. as you find your position in the united states, do you have difficulty in dealing with subcurrents within the different countries in the middle east? host: what do you mean by some parents? -- subcurrents? caller: we seem to use the phrase arab world and muslim world interchangeably. there seems to be a conflict within the middle east between the different ethnic groups as they break themselves out. my specific question is, how do you deal with that in aljazeera? are you pressured by individuals or governments to favor one side or the other? i will call them almost ethnic battles that seem to take place, more or less continuously in the middle east. guest: the issue of defining who is arab and jew is not is a very tricky one. overall, i would like to say that era is not a race. it is not an ethnic group. arabic is a way of being. you are absolutely rig

being that you are such a learned graduate, you to look a butler and what he had to say about our imperious worse. war is nothing but a record. you are nothing but an agent for death. host: i will stop you there. guest: steve, if i can, there have been about 150,000 casualties there, not 1.5 million. those are horrible. i saw a number myself. i fought two wars in iraq. i don't think have served for imperialism, but to increase security for the united states. in my first war certainly for the people of kuwait when i helped to expel the army of saddam hussein. he remained a threat to world peace and security throughout the region. his weapons of mass destruction program it now appears that he had terminated. not long after desert storm we did not know that. whatever the merits of the decision to go to war in iraq in 2003, the fact remains that we now have a responsibility to try to help iraq be as secure as it can be, not to disintegrate. not to present a threat again. and also not to provide a base for al qaeda in iraq. i fought against al qaeda, which is dedicated to starting a broader war.

and citing in the case butler vs. michigan, that, "government may not reduce the adult population to reading only that which is fit for children." so the type of drastic speech sensorship that is contained in this -- censorship that is contained in this legislation is almost certain to lead to challenges in the federal courts and i find that troubling and counterproductive. . to the issue on harm reduction, and this is an issue that once again -- no, strike that on harm reduction. let me move to the f.d.a. this bill establishes a general standard that actions by f.d.a. is the best interest of public health that they are the ones that they can reasonable -- reasonably be likely to have measured scientific results. what do we mean by results? substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality rates among smokers, that's what we seek to achieve. so the great challenge that i have here that in the committee we are now looking at legislation with regard to food safety and drug safety. the f.d.a. is charged with approving me

whether it continues to exist and you could even cobble together an argument, not very persuasive, butlers some argument if 2008 between the covered jurisdictions and non-covered jurisdictions, awe of that is extraordinarily -- the registration rates in the covered jurisdictions for minorities is higher than in the font covered jurisdictions, but in all events, the complete answer seems to me and the one that i think justice kennedy might arrive at, you've at least got to try. you've at least going to try and articulate some difference between the covered jurisdictions and the non-covered jurisdiction. how are they deciding whose redistricting plans are going to be submitted to a bunch of bureaucrats in 2030? presidential turnout in the 1964 and 1972 election. well, that doesn't -- you couldn't issue dog licenses on the basis of that, because it would be this congress in 1965 said we're going to divvy up the covered and non-covered jurisdictions by looking at the presidential election results on who ran against fdr. most people -- by own guess is, they probably will strike it down on that
