now it's in the national air and space museum so you hear about this hey wait a minute we want to darpa that no this is the eight hours you are in a hypersonic test vehicle this was last year we learned about this hypersonic vehicle developed by darpa this is under the p.t.s. the prompt global strike program thing is shaped like an arrowhead it's designed to fly at mach twenty that's twenty times the speed of sound each of these little. it did cost three hundred twelve million dollars the second time that they tried to do an experiment on this the skin that metal skin on it just ripped off and it crashed into the pacific ocean into a giant three hundred twelve million dollar splash. we're just spending hundreds of millions of dollars of our money on stuff like this you would think they have tested it and said you know what once this goes twenty times the speed of light this skin is going to come off and it's not going to be operable and i think the more important thing is that like we're looking at this black budget which is billions and billions of dollars you think that it would at le

point it was a nasa boeing air force project but then in two thousand and six it was handed over to darpa the image of it right here and handed over the to darpa and from that moment on it went completely classified so we have zero information as to what the mission is so that there's declassified document showing that it actually is hovering over north korea at points i mean what the hell is going on here and that is this is this giant hunk of metal float in the sky we don't know if i want to but there it is and it costs a lot of money and we put it out there oh well that's great and this isn't even to mention the private car. there's a special operations that are going on with what this budget would be the number one wasteful spending is the amount of contractors hundred eight thousand for the last word think we heard they call it like three times more than regular military soldiers thank you so much man or a low yes producer they did it. well guys right now immigration is a hotly debated topic but the bottom is the dream act initiative and thousands of latinos were on the streets for a

to support transition activities to two other darpa programs. diverting $250 million would significantly slow down the schedule for these two programs. we expect president obama to announce likely next week in berlin that he will seek to reduce or reduce forces by a third beyond the new start treaty reductions we have yet to put in place. we need to put the brakes on this. the president is proposing dangerous changes to our nuclear forces and i urge my colleagues to reject this amendment and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from washington. mr. larsen: how much time do i have? the chair: the gentleman from washington has 33/4. mr. larsen: i yield the balance of the time to mr. cooper from tennessee. the chair: without objection. he gentleman from tennessee the chair: without objection, the gentleman from tennessee criminals the remapeder of the time. mr. cooper: it's a shame that president ronald reagan would have a hard time getting nominated in today's republican party. if you look at what president reagan said, he called for the aboliti

internet industry created i might add by the taxpayer the united states of america through arpanet and darpa how patent trolls are undermining the economy a white house report warns that the explosion of companies who buy up rights to patents in order to pursue aggressive litigation against alleged infringers has had a dramatically negative impact on innovation so these are called patent assertion entities patent trolls they buy up these patents never having any intention of actually using them and in fact what they do is they wait. like trolls under the bridge of innovation and wait for real innovators and real people trying to be in the market to get so far into their investment of time money and energy into creating a product and then they pounce with their threat of a lawsuit right it's intellectual property apartheid you know using patents and copyright and trademark law to create intermountain barriers to keep out competition larry ellison is guilty of this apple is guilty of this the m.p.a. in the hollywood industry is guilty of this and the result is a generation now americans and pe
