from my vantagepoint, you certainly don't look to the hollywood walk of fame or hollywood in general for the principles and values that are representive of the united states of america. pee-wee herman is a far cry from rank. look, i'm just one voice here in this body, but i have a hard time going back to the people saying, i did the work of the people and spending the people's money and we recognize the hollywood walk of fame. i just can't do it. there are a lot of good members back there. that might be an interesting debate to go back and forth. i'll start with paul ruben and i appreciate you starting with ronald reagan. somewhere in between is probably the right answer. we need to get on with the nation's business, the debt, the other crisis that we're dealing with. that's my point with this, madam speaker. i won't take any more of the people's time. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from utah yields back the balance of his time. the gentlelady from california is recognized. ms. watson: madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. th

movie piracy is not just about the hollywood stars and the producers of a blockbuster movie. is about mom and pop video stores that cannot survive because peddlers on the streets. it's about kids not getting the after-school job selling popcorn -pat the theater because the theater cannot survive. there is a distinct connection between organized crime and movie piracy. you will hear from someone from rand who will talk about the study that rand conducted that makes it clear the connection to organized crime. game violence, money laundering in the united states. extortion and hong kong. human smuggling, exportation in northern ireland. human smuggling in spain. money laundering and extortion in italy. gang violence in mexico. in mexico, the drug cartels have become so bold with their counterfeiting that one group and another group now identify their counterfeit goods with their logo placed on the packaging. a serious problem. the link to terrorism is there ken holt carla -- and i hope carla speaks to that. it is a serious problem that we need to do something about. there are se

and i would like to say, i would love to see these muslims put a duty on hollywood running around half naked all the time. i did not think they should be able to build at ground zero. if we had, what the scriptures say, -- let are slaves a loose after seven years of slavery and given them all that they need to go and be free, we would not be having this conflict today. we did not do it, so we are paying for it -- whether, martin luther king, who, by the way, was a republican. i hate that slavery happened and i hated that it still goes on today. and that women have no rights in the muslim community. host: thanks for the call. we will get a final thought from andrew mccarthy. guest: i do think that on the theory that something always beats nothing, we do have a moral drift in the united states and islamists, we may not like what they believe -- i don't like what they believe -- but the book -- but they do believe it, they believe it with a fervor and that allowed them to make a lot of the inroads that they've made because we seem to lot less attentive and a lot less respectful to our pri

host: hollywood, california. republican line. gerry. good morning. caller: good morning. i have been and motion picture business for 15 years -- have been in the -- for the entire period. the union, as far as i'm concerned are corrupt sell out. they guarantee our wages, yes. do they get us work? nope. do they sell off most of our rights that we have as far as rights that we have as far as guaranteed him late night hours, wages, and what not? no. they are selling off all of our rights. the corrupt union bosses are selling off all of our rights to producers. i went through a grievance for 13 years. in the meantime, the arbitrator died. they put another arbitrator in power, and basically they settled for pennies on the dollar. i think the unions have really lost their clout. and i think the union in the mode should -- motion picture business is a dying industry. host: the caller previously brought up corporations and how much they donated to senator blanche lincoln plaza campaign. our producer went to open secrets.org and found the top industries. if we could just scroll thr

hollywood, florida. ried is on the democrat's line. caller: thank you for taking my call this morning. ma'am, gender means nothing, race means nothing. it is the ideology, the philosophy of a person. i feel that carly fiorina -- i know about her background, i know what she said. she made comments that a job in america is not a guarantee to anyone. and i think that this is very neocon. i do not like supply-side economics and the free-market ideology. i think it is mythology. and i don't subscribe to it and i think this is the reason why we are having these economic environmental problems because unregulated capitalism is a disaster. i knew this when reagan was elected, that this was the beginning of it and it is unfortunate. it is big government that causes us -- excuse me, it is big business causing the problem, not big government. i am a lefty and i like big government as long as it serves all the people and regulates capitalism. i don't believe in unregulated capitalism. that is about all i have to say. thank you. host: the next part

but it's easy to overlook the humble midwestern origins of a man whose career took him from hollywood to the white house. in his autobiographer, president reagan sd of dixon, it was a small universe where i learned the standards and values that would guide me the rest of my life. while living in dixon, president reagan attended grade school and high school. decades before standing at the brandonberg gate, he stood guard at the beach where according to local lore he saved the lives of 77 swimmers in the rock river. for the centennial of president reagan's birth next year, the communities are planning numerous commemorative activities to honor the local hero and american icon. there will be a guolla event in february followed later that month by the premiere of an arrangement commissioned by the reag centennial commission and the dixon municipal band. later that year, dixon will host a alzheimer's walk and education workshop in honor of the late president. . with the help of the house we can make dixon the focal point of the reagan centennial in 2011. this is a truly bipartisan bill wit

i hear he is investing in hollywood movies. >> with respect to the leader, ambassadors do not get a lot of access. with the access i have had, i have had a very good conversation with him where we discussed the full gamut of u.s. bilateral relations. . i think some good things have come from that meeting. i think the sheik is the successor to the leader. i find him to be very thoughtful. he certainly, as far as i can tell, is inclined to a good relationship with united states and the west. he is very interested in raising the level of the standard of living of the libyan people. in terms of reform, i think he is a potential reformist. i think he has tried, around the edges, to push the envelope. there is a very difficult conservative group in libya, which does not want change. he has had to counter them back and forth. i think that he has been offered a formal position, and he has yet to take it. he is riding -- he is waiting for the right circumstances so that when he takes the position he will be able to have little bit more latitude to undertake the kind of reforms that he would like

now he's investing in hollywood movies. >> with respect to the leader, you know, i had -- investors don't normally get a lot of access, but the access i have had, he's a unique heard with a unique vision. i have had very good -- very -- one long conversation with him and we discussed the gamut of u.s. bilateral relations. i think he completely understood my points. he took notes and came back. we argued we talked. i think some good things node over that over the pastself months. with respect to liz son, he has several obviously i think safa is one, is -- is the punitive successor to the heard. i find him to be very thoughtful. he is certainly as far as i can tell inclined toward a good relationship with the united states and the west. he's very interested in -- in raising the level of the standard of living of the libyan people. in terms of reform, i think he -- he -- he is a potential reformist. i think he tried around the edges to push the envelope and -- you know, there's a -- there's a very difficult conservative group in libya which does not want change. he's had to counter them back
