republican-led legislature, pro-growth legislature very supportive of all their efforts in the everglades be fair there's also a ton of fertilizer pouring out of the mississippi river into the gulf of mexico. so this is a collective problem. we all contribute to this as that guy on the beach said at the end. between the red tide here, the california wild fires, 90 degree temperatures above the arctic circle feels like the planet is trying to tell us something. >> yeah, using a loud voice. >> spanning the globe. south dakota down in ft. myers florida. >>> the family of a man killed in an officer-involved shooting in nashville is speaking out. the attorney for the family of daniel hambrick and his mother says newly released video shows deadly forceas not necessary. >> they shot him in the back. the police officer fired four times, three of those bullets ripped daniel apart. he fell to the ground. >> i'm very hurt about my son and i just want justice. >> the video shows hambrick running away from an officer and then going down after being shot from behind. police say hambrick emerged from a

this project in the water resources development act is part of the historic everglades restoration effort that so many of us have worked so long and so hard to advance. it's just one piece, but it's one that absolutely cannot wait. and if we don't act soon, i'm afraid there won't be much of an environment in south florida left to save. i urge the majority leader to schedule a vote on the wrda bill as soon as possible, and i urge my colleagues to support the water resources bill when it comes to the floor of the senate. madam president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island. mr. whitehouse: may i ask that any pending quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: we are owe -- we're thought in a quorum call. the senator is recognized. mr. whitehouse: may i ask unanimous consent because the time between now and is -- 11:30 is to be shared between me and the ranking member on the finance committee, senator wyden, that when senator wyden appears, i will yield the floor to him, that at the conclusion of his remarks, i be recognized t

in the amount of water really should be going into the everglades directed to land food agriculture so i'm sure you are aware of what is going these huge fish kills by the red tide it is complicated that i talked to enough algae scientists that excessive amounts of fertilizer and sewage changes the composition of algae then they seem to favor the high nitrate situations when i'm comfortable to say that if they try to address it we have to look up stream and look at the way about 40% that 40% that we grow is used for ethanol or making oil. there is a whole other way but then to be the largest contributor on the planet. and that is too scary to look at but but then to go into the microbial loop with the phytoplankton bacteria consume set and it goes around and around and we never get to higher life. i'm not saying that's definitely where we are headed but the current system or the current ocean but one thing i was suggesting is that. >> to try to shrink that but then you can say then had to take more secrets out? i'm not saying that i spent a lot of time talking about the mediterranean g

his daughter was riding with him they were on a four wheeler in the everglades.antly. but eddie was just a good guy, man. he wanted the best for everybody, always give you the shirt off his back, that kind of person. and i was very, very blessed to be able to have him as a mentor, as a father, and just somebody-- when you have somebody that's so good, that believes in you, and if he was here, he'd be like, "don't give me that cryin' ( bleep )." - yeah. - you know? and i am. eddie, i love you, man. miss you. you showed me something a little while ago here, a picture, a basketball team, with you in it. pitbull: a lot of those guys, they're either dead or in prison. that was the kind of environment that we were in, and that's why basketball was such an escape for us. it allowed us to stay out of trouble. 'cause when you're around that and i go back to that being your normal, that's all you see, that's all you know how to do. i know guys who don't know how to-- this is crazy. they learned the metric system, they learned math, they learned everything by selling dope.

that gap from 1843 and 44 into the mid-1850s were basically the seminoles withdraw down to the everglades and said we don't want to deal with white people anymore. as white settlement was expanding southward they started to run up against the seminoles so in the mid to late 1850s you have what is sometimes called the third seminole war and that one kind of ends the same way. it sort of peters out and the seminoles kind of retreat deeper into the swamps. numbers at that point being only two or 300 in florida and it is not maybe until about the 1890s until you start seeing sustained contacts between them again. so what i usually say there is an effect some historians will say okay so the army never conquered seminoles but in effect desk -- in effect they force them out of florida. they proved effective through attrition in achieving their assigned mission. >> you talk about the intellectual development of the u.s. military and i am wondering what is the european influence. as i understand it they are largely copying french in terms of tactics. i wonder if you have anything more on that. >>

all done here because marjorie stoneman douglas was a biography book both individual and place in everglades and when i looked at the gulf of mexico i realized nobody had written history and seemed like a natural fit for me. >> for me i really see this book as the third book in a trilogy of history, the other being about new orleans and chicago and i'm fascinated with how these cities deal with growing pains from going minor regional places to major world cities and in the los angeles case there was just no real reason why a major city should be in los angeles, the physical plant was terrible, far from everything and how did that come about and i wanted to explore that question and i decided that i wanted to put a human face on this so i chose three characters who i thought would enable to me to get at that history but in a more human way. >> can you tell who those three characters are? >> william, who is the one who built aquadduct and griffin and gave los angeles an industry that it needed and the third character is a woman who is not very well known now but in her days she was probably mo

florida issued a alert not that long ago that pregnant women should not eat any fish caught in the everglades because it would cause child effects. children shouldn't eat any fish. they recommend that adults only eat one serving a month. the oysters of seattle are so polluted with oxycontin that they're showing up in restaurants and people are getting high from them. i don't care how many acres a bear has to roam around. i like to eat food that isn't contaminated. one more thing c-span. i noticed none of your pro-lifers came out in support of the two lawsuits ending that r came up withye because it causes cancer. they just had a thing, insecticides are showing up in children's cereal. i think some of your pro-lifers would kind of get into eating clean food. thanks for taking my call. host: what about the pollution point, mr. lister? there's not something where the association is currently working on a pollution issue. i think generally hunters, anglers, fishermen want the habitat to be appropriate to the species can do well. you can't hunt, you can't fish if the species is polluted. i would s
