even your raptors like eagles. bald eagles have nested on the coastline of louisiana. i brought this poster because it shows you all of the animals that can be affected by the oil spill. you can see the brown shrimp. this is the most profitable of all of our seafood items. you can see the american oyster which will be affected the most out of all the animals because they are filter feeders. they're bringing in the oil right now. we supply about 35% of the american oyster. the blue crabs. alligators. i do not know if you eat alligator meat, it is delicious. speaking of chicken, i want your viewers to notice this species of fish. this is called the manhattan. they are related to sardines. 2004, right before hurricane katrina, we pulled in 400 million pounds and most of that with these manhattan pogies. that had just topped anchorage is the number-one seafood tonnage in the nation. right before katrina between venice and empire, that was the number one fish port in north america including alaska. the reason i talked about this, this fish is used for chicken mail and feeds

the eagle in the center is aggressive. i am concerned he will fly out of the screen. we have heard a lot about some of the challenges and growth of organized groups engaging in intellectual property crime. we know why we're starting to focus on this area. organized criminal groups are turning to intellectual property as a means to finance other illicit activities or for profit. it has an impact on our global security and very often engaged in intellectual property crime are also talking gains in loss of other dangers of fences. human smuggling, drugs, guns, and so on. so what is the allure? what is the alluue to organized crime? why are they turning to i.p.? you have heard everybody say it is low risk. there is very low manufacturing or entry costs. minimal start up costs. it's like they're going to get their manufacturing facilities up to code. there not paying taxes or providing insurance. they did not have to create new methods to distribute their counterfeit goods. beacon used existing distribution chains -- they can use existing distribution chains. they use slav

when you think about eagles or birds, it seems to mean and uncaring for a mother to shove that bird out of the nest and force them to learn to fly. it seems mean. it seems uncaring. but unless they do that, they're never going to learn to fly. there are people who could fly in this country, figuratively speaking, and yet the government keeps pushing just enough money into their hands to keep them with just enough money to keep them beholding to the big master here in washington. it's as if there are people here in the city who want people across america to see us and congress as the big master. and you're the slave, you're the servant. we want you beholden to us. that's not what this nation was founded on. this nation was founded on the ideas, and you read them and hear them, if you study history, how wonderful history teachers -- it breaks my heart to hear people that don't understand where we came from, and the basis for this country. but it was not to lure people into subsistence and dependence on the government. that was never the purpose. it was to inspire people. it was to give th

with the 10 amendments to the constitution, the bill of rights right in the center, with american eagle's spreading its wings behind there, and he is holding a book of laws. on the other side, you have another group of citizens, and those. there is the authority of the law, but then you need to have the strength to back up that the law needs to be enforced by. >> it is amazing when you walked in, and even the two american flags that flank the mahogany bench that they all sit back. they hang perfectly still. the supreme court is in viewed in a great tradition. in fact, we sometimes joke that the quills that are given to the justices are how they write their opinions, and there are some that still write them up longhand on a legal pad, as opposed to a computer, the way most would do today. >> the supreme court, which with traditions, is also a very uman institution. in a private room, a newark custom takes place following oral arguments, one inspired by its fiist female justice. >> it is a beautiful room, very well furnished. the ood is not exactly haute cuisine. it comes from the cafeteria

army specialist matthew was an infantryman with the 101st airborne screaming eagles out of fort campbell, kentucky, with us of the most prestigious and decorated people. the screaming eagle warriors landed on normandy on d-day and fought in the battle of the bulge, the crucial turning points of world war ii. they fought in the rice paties of vietnam and stood in the towns of iraq. and they're leading in afghanistan to fight againstt the cowards in the desert, the taliban. i've been to iraq and afghanistan and let me tell you something, madam speaker, there is no better fighting machine in the world than the 101st. they were the first conventional unit to deploy in support of the american war on terrorism. the 101st easy company was portrayed in the series "banff brothers" and -- ban of brothers" and matthew gave his life with four other fellow soldiers that day. it was the bloodiest day of the war so far this year. madam speaker, this is a photograph of matthew. he and his fellow soldiers were killed when their humvee was hit by an improvised explosive device, that's called an i.e.d., th

even your raptors like eagles. bald eagles have nested on the coastline of louisiana. i brought this poster because it shows you all of the animals that can be affected by the oil spill. u can see the brown shrimp. this is the most profitable of all of our seafood items. you can see the american oyster which will be affected the most out of all the animals because they are filter feeders. they're bringing in the oil right now. we supply about 35% of the american oyster. the blue crabs. alligators. i do not know if you eat alligator meat, it is delicious. speaking of chicken, i want your viewers to notice this species of fish. this is called the manhattan. they are related to sardines. 2004, right before hurricane katrina, we pulled in 400 million pounds and most of that with these manhattan pogies. that had just topped anchorage is the number-one seafood tonnage in the nation. right before katrina between venice and empire, that was the number one fish port in north america including alaska. the reason i talked about this, this fish is used for chicken mail and feeds c

eagle river, wisconsin, democratic caller, go ahead. caller: i usually lead democrat but i am fading quickly on that. we cannot trust the oil companies to tell us what is really going on or tell us the truth. they basically of the government. we cannot expect our government to do anything about this except to sell us out. the last guy from kansas should click his heels and get back to kansas because he does not have a close. this is not about cleaning up the mess now. this is about what we will do five years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now. host: does this oil disaster make a demarcation line in u.s. energy policy? caller: this has to set the demarcation library there is no other way around this. we have known this would happen since the early 1970's that we would have problems with energy. companies and oil lobbies and bought out. we need public financing. this goes back to the election policies and the fact that big corporations all of our government. independent, go ahead caller: this oil spill will cost a lot of money

the eagle in the center is very aggressive, although i have to say that i am nervous that it will fly right out of the screen. if anybody sees that happening, let me know. we have heard a lot already about some of these challenges and growth of organized groups engaging in intellectual property crimes. we know why we are starting to focus on this area. organized criminal groups are increasingly turning to the intellectual property as a means to finance other illicit activities for profit. it has an impact on our global security. very often, organized crime groups that are engaged in intellectual property crimes are also engaged in very dangerous offenses. human smuggling, drugs, and so on. they threaten communities, law enforcement, and each other. we talked a little about this this morning, what is the allure? what are they turning to intellectual property? you have heard everybody say that it is low risk cyber war. what does that mean? there is very low manufacturing or injury costs. it is not like they are going to try to get their manufacturing facilities up to code. they are not

host: elin, eagle river, nebraska, you are on the air -- elaine. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have been calling for at least a decade. first of all, i would say this, i spent eight years as a navy veteran during vietnam. my son spent eight years in the u.s. navy during the initial invasion of iraq. and my other son is air force. i would say it is time to get out of afghanistan. i don't even know why we are there. we initially went in for, i don't know, to save them from something or another. but now it has descended into chaos. the other thing is, afghanistan has been a country long before america was even conceived of their they have been invaded by mongols, the chinese, by india. it is the same scenario as viet nam. vietnam had been and -- at war with china, cambodia. and we have no place there and we have no way of knowing how to fight them. it is not a stand up war. it is not an area where you could send an army in, as i heard mentioned before. host: let me read this tweet to you and get your response -- caller: well, that is another

even bald eagles have been known to nest on the coastline of louisiana.his poster because it shows you all the animals that could be affected by the oil spill. louisiana it catches about the nation's 30%. this is the brown shrimp. the oyster will be affected the moist -- the most because they are filter feeders. they are breathing in the oil right now. we create 35% of the nation's oysters. you see the blue crabs and alligators. i don't know if you eat alligator meat. it is delicious. >> it tastes like chicken. >> look at this species of fish this is related to sardines and anchovies. in 2004, right before hurricane katrina, fishermen pulled in 400 million pounds. it topped anchorage, alaska as the number one seafood port. this was right before katrina. this was theenumber 1 fish port in north america, including alaska. this fish right here is viewed -- is used for chicken feed. this is one reason why american chicken is so cheap because fisherman can put their neck down and catch hundreds of millions of tons of this fish. they go to northwestern arkansas

. >> that design shows the eagle and is all on lettered paper. it is an exquisitely bound book.the title is very simple, "the senate 79 to 1989 -- 1789 to 1989. >> can the general public by this? >> the public can buy this from the printing office. they can buy it at a cost of $55 per copy. they can send their checks to the superintendent of documents of the government printing office and they will have the book. let me hasten to say that i make no royalties. i get no benefits from the book. i would like to see it to sell because i want the contents of the book to become known are around this country. i want the senate of the united states to be better appreciated then what it is. not only by the people on the outside, but the people on the inside, and the people in media. >> tell us how you came to give the first speech and what day was it? >> it was march 21, 1980. i was the majority leader. that year, i told my colleagues that we would have no will call votes on fridays. the senate would be open. we could make speeches, carry on business by grass vote and so on. in the galler
