host: do you know if john kerry has a projects guest: i do not >> senators joe lieberman and john kerryng ain't energy bill. a republican senator who had been involved in crafting the legislation did not attend this event. this portion of the news conference is 45 minutes. >> thank you for coming today for this introduction of the american power act. the bill but we are introducing today will restore america's economy, reassert our position as a global leader in clean energy technology. it will create millions of jobs, move us toward energy independence and strengthen america's security and it will give us cleaner air. we are offering america, today, chief executives of major countries, different industries, members of faith- based community, internment community, a national security community, have all come together to offer america a chance to break out of a trap. we are caught today in an economic downturn that has left millions of people searching for the next new engine of growth and jobs. we are weighed down by a broken energy policy built on a dangerous addiction to foreign oil.

in those attacks, people were accusing john kerry of having made up his military exploits in vietnam to get medals and other assorted things. much more serious than having a disagreement with a new boss. he is very defensive about it. his latest ad has groups of veterans saying, he is repeating the high points of this career, saying -- one of them says to tell our inspector to stop lying. they all say, we have only one thing to say. they also lose. -- the all salute. it has been a response of tactics. they feel that this will remind democratic voters that there'll be a backlash. it over my democrats of things they do not like about arlen specter. he has been battling them for 30 years. he is known as a really intense campaigner who is good at using negative ads. he is famous for nuking opponents. host: he is a political writer host: he is a political writer for the philadelphia inquirer.

kerry and i know because we have been part of every bill and to this kind. i am willing to grateful yield to the people who are with us for more the details. and first to discuss why the american power act is so critical to preserving america's national security in the decades ahead. i am proud to introduce admiral william fallon, former commander of the pacific command and the central command, which of course governs the police. admiral fallon. >> thank you very much. this is an unusual turn of events for me. most of my previous appearances up here i was facing the diocese and the committee and the cameras were looking at the back of my head. i hope this is not too frightening to the audience.

i want to thank senator john kerry and to lieberman -- joe lieberman. i want to thank you for your dedicated work in a most inclusive manner to try to address the issues that not only affect our country but people throughout the world. the energy consumption in this area continues to increase and relies on fossil fuels, but cheekily for transportation with motor vehicles. there is accelerating climate change, and there is the carbon pollution that is resulting in greenhouse gases and particulates matter. it is causing global warming. this defect is resulting in changes in the atmosphere, not only to the atmosphere but particularly to what to supplies and related aspects of water throughout the world, and this portends a significant challenge, i believe, to national security. climate change is affecting the available water supplies, and the indicators are that this is going to continue. i was recently down in the and arctic, and there is a lot of ice down there, but the data is becoming pretty impressive that the temperature changes are accelerating, and

or the present or bush or kerry.so no words what you have here is people are moving together, living together one side watching fox, the other side in this in b.c., one size reading these blogs in the other these blogs. so you get both sides, and i think you're seeing a moral, cultural, social racial also, an ethnic balkanization of america into a tiny enclave so are not really a country anymore. more like eight giant empire and that's one of the things that i'm writing about in my book. and i will tell you anticipating this, and they're both liberals, pat moynihan and his book and a modicum and arthur schlesinger's book, the disunited of america. and he said as no nationalism is the force. this is what tears countries apart. frankly, in america we broke from the british in 1754, americans were not a people. we were cavalier, virginia cavaliers, you've got the boston curtains, he's got the quakers in pennsylvania. you get these different groups, but after the french and indian war and the stamp act, the tea act, the

kerry. maybe they might understand, these gangsters pay does. this is just the facts of life. they don't see that the gangsters never have any women. their families is totally away from what they're doing. what they do and what they do, you know, they don't bring their families in, they don't bring their women and. and family is sacred to the. they only see the glamour and the bling. so the young men have to feel that they do have a future here. and i'd like to say to the person, the earth belongs to everybody. for everything of thing on a, we care for what care for which is our sell. maybe i give you a different kind. it's here for everybody. >> one of the things that i wasn't sure about, and i think you said it in a different way was the fact that most of these young men feel guilty. they feel that something they didn't do, whether it was glaring into a person or a person withered away, kept them in that situation. and one of the things i've often wondered about is what it is that people can do to make black children feel more empowered. there is such a thing as a good feeli

maybe it's going to be a miracle because brother kerry is on a mission from god. watch this. >> president obama gets involved and harry reid, we pull totaling i think it can pass. the reason is we have the broadest base of the support. we have faith-based community support. we have generals and admirals who believe this is essential for american security. we have major business leaders who believe this will create jobs and make us competitive. >> glenn: yes, yes. some people -- i won't say -- because i'm an adult and a parent i won't. tell but christmas. it just crossed my mind. i'm sure there are people that believe this will create jobs. and the churches are behind this movement. the churches are. that is great. where do i sign up? i found a constitutional of faith based groups. it's great. let me show you the website. it's the equal justice program. the national council of churches of christ. look, it's such a pretty theme with three different churches. is there a synagogue or mosque? there must be someplace the they are altogether, for eco justice. this is fan

for example, earlier, our minister of interior was describing to senator kerry and other senators overnch that we have a 14-year-old boy who came and said he was trained as a suicide bomber and he does not want to be. we are looking for the parents of this boy to bring them over and returned the boy back to the family. we don't find them an equal opponent in those terms. they have stooped very low into the abyss of lack of morality, or if you could describe it as a morality. -- as immorality. we are also morally higher, claim better, and that is the winning passion. >> mr. president, you have mentioned a couple of times the peace jurga and the preparations for that. one of your ministers reminded me that in work at usip, two years ago the plan was put together for reconciliation as well as the surge. it is coming about and your plans later this month for the peace jurga -- your ambassador was going to join us asked what is the outcome? what will be the reconciliation? >> reintegration means the return back home and the disconnection with fighting and arms of those thousands of taliban

chairman john kerry is there. president obama in april along with president medvedev spa signed the nuclear arms treaty. this is the first hearing on this treaty. you are watching live coverage here on c-span. >> the hearing will come to order. thank you all for coming today. this is a terrific lineup for any hearing but obviously, they typically for this hearing on the start treaty. defense official, and our top military official. it is a lineup that underscores the obama administration's commitment not just to the ratification of the new start but to have an open and honest and thorough debate that moves beyond partisanship and sound bites. the administration's commitment is well-placed because at stake is the future of over 90% of the world's nuclear weapons and our credibility and the eyes of nearly 180 states that are party to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. as the panel knows, i believe, and i think senator lugar shares this, that the new start agreement will make america safer because the day that thi

work, and the real trick, i think, for a lot of people who are successful in the senate, and i think kerry reid can be counted among them, is how the kind of slide in and out of those -- i think harry reid can be counted among those. host: there is the so-called dean of washington reporters. he worked for "the washington post." i think he is close them 80 years old and is still writing, but here is the quote. "here is a washington political riddell, where you fill in the line, -- riddle. " if you answered -- david just does not go for the jugular. what is going on? guest: they do not like each other. he comes from that generation of reporters where they are always impartial. they do not tell you have a feel about political -- particular people, and this one out of the window. in my view, i think he is kind of a victim of kind of a mythology of what the senate used to be. it used to be a place a statement -- statesmaen. the majority leader as a model. and so, i think reid, who does have a temper and can on occasion simply blow up at people and tell you what he thinks, and i think a lot of i

this weekend john kerry of coop is the reluctance by, former cia officer talks about life in the agency before and after 9/11. he is interviewed by inspector general frederick hits. find the entire weekend schedule at booktv.org. >> i want to start with something our viewers know very well. the empire of liberty. >> this is the eighth book in the history of the united states. the legendary series. it is the start of the 1950s. gordon wood was one of the original authors and everybody knows he is somebody who spent his life -- this book covers everything from the new nation up through the end of the war of 1812. it will have a lot of political history. it is the book, a lot out of no matter whether the founding fathers or other areas. >> be right here, lanky book -- c -- >> it is an extraordinary piece. long-term project. i am not the only one ad in the book. the general editor also -- gordon had two positions and it is a process. authors really love it and other people don't love it. if it comes to the proliferation it is shorter than it was. >> what about the award winning author? you

merkley: i ask unanimous consent to add senator kerry, senator franken and senator levin as cosponsors. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection, they'll be added. mr. merkley: i would like to thank the bipartisan cosponsors to this amendment including senator snowe, senator scott brown, and members on both sides. my colleague, senator klobuchar, will be speaking in a moment, senator begich, senator boxer and senator kerry and franken and senator schumer. and i would like to applaud my colleague from tennessee. virtually every word that senator corker stated tonight is an argument for this amendment that senator klobuchar and i are cosponsoring. i'll get into the details later because i want to yield time to my colleague from minnesota and my colleague from connecticut to speak to the bill and then i will offer my remarks. but i do think it is important to recognize that the bulk of what senator corker addressed goes right to heart of this amendment as -- as well. there is a point of distinction between the two amendments, a critical point of distinction, and that i

if you don't try to win southern states, john kerry did not try. barack obama went out. he won north carolina, and virginia which is huge. i saw the 2008 election as first of all an example of economic issues always matter in a crisis. and southern voters aren't that different than other voters. they will vote their pocketbooks and wallets. red state/blue state frame work that limited our imagination about the country just like we're shocked by the election, you know, of scott brown in massachusetts. we shouldn't be shocked. massachusetts has a long history of electing republicans especially to be the governor. i think the election show that is we need to not take for granted the broad regional categories. >> the book is called the myth of southern exceptionalism. thanks for talking to us. >> thank you very much. >> we're talking to ken moore here. what was your favorite book? >> that's a good question. the probably the first one that i have is god and ronald reagan. i started to write generally. and never intended to talk about. as i started going through the primary so

and when it does try executives is cam kerry, are counsel.cam has spent years in private part is, many years as senior partner at the law firm of mintz levin. if people in this town now, it is a very strong telecommunications and e-commerce product is. cam was, until he became general counsel, the lead of that group in the boston office, not surprisingly. buddies transported himself down here to work for administration and he provides great leadership, great wisdom and e-commerce issues for us. and he's just an overall great guy to work with. tanks. [applause] >> well, mark, thank you and good afternoon. i think this is though that on the program as afternoon remarks. i thought we might sell more seats and bring in some of those lunchtime laggards if we build this as afternoon delight. [laughter] but i didn't win that fight. and they see what secretary locke was talking about this morning. i feel like an empire at a tennis match in this broom. [laughter] this morning, secretary locke highlighted some of the astonishing statistics about the gr

truth is, amongst the people who had voted in the '04 kerry/bush election, you know, mccain and obama roughly tied. it was the 15-20 million new voters that caused us to win. and these were not all young, not politically-attuned people. and it's so important to be able to get them just basic information about how to participate. and they are very digitally sensitive, right? they're not going to call an 800 number. if they can't find an answer right away on their computer, internet or cell phone, you're going to lose them. they want to know in five seconds, how do i register to vote? can i vote early? they want basic information in addition to information about the candidate's position. so think about that. that's going to open up the process to people because what i still see in a lot of research is people who are thinking about the 2010 election even those that voted in '08 say, well, i'm not sure when the election is, or i'm not sure what offices are on the ballot. do i vote in the same place as i did in '08? or i voted by mail, can i do that in '10? if they can't find this informat

but let's not forget that the individuals in his administration who were key to these programs, kerry hopkins, hurled fichte, roy alexander, holly flanigan, they were -- they were impassioned individuals who thought a new vision of interracial cooperation and you really tried to prevent racial injustice wherever they could. in terms of what was in there view. and these programs were created because of individuals who envision greater african-americans of the patients but also later african-american to stability. it was important and that stereotypes and discriminatory iconography needed to be obliterated. and that was, you know, in terms of the presidents own interests, his interest in these programs certainly came to some of the protections and some of the key direct heirs, but the folks in his cabinet, the folks at the point as head of the wpa and secretary of the interior. and the folks who would really shepherd these projects were longtime locals who had a history of working with these leaders. so much of this came from a longer history of liberal liberalism. >> explain why it was

i'm lisa robinson. >> and i'm kerry cavanaugh. first a look outside with tony pan.ary sunday today. >> it is a good day to sleep in, that's for sure. the humidity is high. you will probably run into rain at some point if you don't have at your house now. take an umbrella with you. not a lot happening from there. you guys will be dry the next couple hours. the rain around baltimore and the suburbs will catch up to you later this morning. heavier rain in the baltimore county up in manchester and west minister. this will be around for a couple days or so. it should improve this afternoon. showers and thunderstorms likely to start the day and then maybe we'll get sunshine to breakthrough the clouds this afternoon. the high temperature expected around 75. right now we're in the mid 60's. when we come back, we'll take a look at the seven-day forecast. for now, to the news desk. >> no arrest in the shooting death of a dundalk man. >> police say it happened 7:30 saturday morning. kim dacey has more. >> i heard the helicopter flying around. i saw a spotlight. i was looking o

chairman kerry and ranking member luger are both very committed, i think, in their efforts on this issue. i don't mean to speak for them, but in my conversations they have been very strong advocates and agree that it is clearly in our best interests that we advance this. but it really does come down to making it a priority within the administration and we in the senate then finding that time, making that time on the senate calendar for the debate that will en ssue. over in the corner. >> senator, we appreciate your he will kweept advocacy for the arctic issues and law of the sea convention. i work for the coast guard and i know admiral allen has been appreciative of all you have done and continue to do. i have a question in terms of the practicality of dealing with some of the negativity from some on the concerning the convention. what do you say to someone who writes to your office saying this is giving away to the united nations control over 70% of the world's surface or that the convention is going to permit the united nations to tax u.s. companies in an unprecedented manner? complete

if barack obama were white, if he were john kerry pursuing more or less the same politics, or hillary clinton pursuing the same politics whether it's in foreign policy or domestic policy and faced this kind of opposition in congress or on the street, would i immediately ascribe it to racism? well, i couldn't or sexism in the case of hillary clinton. i think people have real political disagreements and concerns and anxieties. there is such a thing of a panoply of opinions. do i think some of the opposition and some of the uglier voices directed at obama is directed at racism, i think that's undeniable. and as for his racial identity, you know, in large measure this is given to you. and you have something to say about it. when he filled out his census report, who am i to argue with that? especially me. i don't know what michelle would say. these are -- these are distinctions that the distinctions evolve with a very slight issue. that he has an african role, maybe it place in memory. that he experienced life as an african-american. you know, when he goes to -- to get his car, he has the

if barack obama were white, if he were john kerry pursuing or less the same politics or hillary clintonpursuing the same politics whether it is in foreign policy or metro policy and face this kind of opposition in congress or on the street one immediately ascribe it to racism? i couldn't, or sexism in the case of hillary clinton. i did the people have real political disagreements and concerns and anxiety. there is such a thing as a panoply of opinion. but do i think that some of the opposition and some of the uglier voices directed at obama had something to do with racism? i think it is undeniable. i don't think you can deny that at all. and as for his racial identity, you know, in large measure this is something given to you but you also have something to say about it. and when he filled out his census report who am i to argue with that? especially me. i don't know what michelle would say that these are distinctions donner slightly different. yes, but he has an african legacy although he played a role mainly in memory. but in his life he experienced life as an african-american. when he

senator john kerry, where he worked for six years and became a critical person in that office , mainly because he could speak the truth of his life. i realized that it was important but roy also share his story with other providers and doctors and nurses, who i came in contact with. so i asked roy if he would go with me to washington to attend the meeting of the society of general internal medicine. and roy came along. in fact, right was 22 at the time it was the first time he had been on a plane but we flew down and he presented a workshop that was very provocative. it was very moving and it was very educational for me and my colleagues. while we were there, we have done our workshop and we are staying in our hotel in crystal city. we went down to the courtyard, the food court, that was connected to the hotel. let a read you a little bit about that moment. we went downstairs to the mall connected to the marriott and found the food court so we could grab breakfast before heading out to do a lightning tour of d.c.. we stopped at a small deli grill , and ordered egg sandwiches on english

there was another one released this week, the so-called kerry- lieberman bill. how is it different?guest: the bill i have reported out of the energy committee is not a climate change bill. it is an energy bill. the committee's jurisdiction does not extend to putting limits on greenhouse gas emissions. that is something that would be done through the environment committee. our bill did not try to do that. it did not put in place a cap and trade system, or any type of limit or requirement for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. senator kerry has put forward a bill that tries to do most of the kinds of things we did in our bill, but also tries to put in place a cap and trade system, or a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and a requirement that those emissions be reduced in future. host: do you support it? guest: i am still reading it. i think there are 1000 pages or close to it. i compliment senator kerrey and senator lieberman for the hard work they have put into it. there's no question that they've spent a great deal of time developing the legislation. i have not passed any final judg

cam kerry couldn't have been more articulate and demonstrable in showing the high level of support for this initiative across the executive tier across the department. with that, we'll return to geek and wonk speak. [laughter] >> we have pretty much a continuation of the conversation that we had before lunch. although, this panel has more folks from the business side than the earlier conversation and we'll be drilling into breaks tax issues a little bit more. we'll also not be endeavoring to do live demos of technology 'cause we know that's fraught with challenges. but we will be throwing up a few screen shots so people can see what some of the developments in the privacy tools arena have been occurring. but before -- before we move on to the brief demos and the conversation, just a few framing remarks. i'm one of those people who enjoys looking at the internet economy and the internet as a whole through an evolutionary lens. that we see speciation on the internet. we see the emergence of things that people couldn't have seen 5 or 10 years ago. and one of the things that paleontologist

john kerry had spent 100 and in more dollars than george w. bush in the 2004 election and it struck me at the time, as i realize now, a generally inclusive framework over the years certainly after that, that the american people were not willing to accept business as usual. what i think is that george bush would use such a dramatically bad job in the last half a second term, that that friend-- trend would continue manifesting in what unfortunately was the obama victory as well. so, americans, i think we have seen since 2004 have been saying do you know what? we are tired of business as usual. the election of bush signify that in the middle of the war and then the election of obama signified it and now what i think the american people are saying is that neither hardy has been honest with them. neither party has had the nations best interest and blind in this third step is the tea party movement i think. this remarkable shift we are saying politically right now. >> we will get into the tea party in just a minute but you said you think george w.

>> yesterday, senator kerry and lieberman introduced a comprehensive bill which creates a carbon credit trading regime and also has a bunch of different elements. we are very supportive of the legislation. unfortunately, linsey graham dropped out the bill at the last minute. this remains a top priority. we believe fundamentally that our energy independence and transforming our use of energy is essential to our national security but also to our long- term economy. i'm hoping that it can get past this year. >> it seems like this administration has taken on more big issues in such a short amount of time than any other administration that i am aware of. how many more big issues can we handle? how many more can congress joggle at the same time? a fair number that we had to tackle one not of our choosing. we have a big agenda because these countries have a lot of the issues that we are grappling with. some of this cannot wait to be dealt with. things like afghanistan in which we felt really needed to be a central focused, we are spending a lot of time and attention on that. the economy is fir

chairman kerry and ranking member lugar are both very committed in their efforts on this issue. i don't mean to speak for them, but in my conversations, they have been strong advocates and agree it is clearly in our best interests that we advance this. but it really does come down to making it a priority within the administration and we in the senate then finding that time, making that time on the senate calendar for the date that will ensue. over in the corner. >> senator, we appreciate your eloquence here today and your strong advocacy for the arctic issues and for the convention and i know the coast guard and admiral allen is appreciatetive of what you do. i have a question dealing with some of the negativity concerning the convention. what do you say to someone who writes to you and says this is giving away to the united nations control 70% of the world's surface or the convention is going to permit the united nations' attack of u.s. companies. completely false, but still there are believes that are held by -- beliefs that are held by some. former governor sarah palin and ot

. >> well, the pickens plan has been put with climate bill, the kerry/lieberman/graham bill.oasis drilling for a while. that doesn't mean shut down the gulf, but i do think it's going to be a while before they're going to vote to drill off the east coast or the west coast of the united states. am i for that? yes, i'm for anything american. i want to get off opec oil. but i do see maybe an opportunity here that the natural gas act, which is a part of the kerry/lieberman bill, that it can go stand alone at this point, because that will truly reduce dependency on opec oil. so, if we could get that initiated, that would be great. but -- >> are you going to get the money you need for wind power? >> you know, wind power, joe, s is -- people don't understand, i think, that wind power's price off the margin, the margin is natural gas. natural gas is so cheap that it's hard to price and finance a wind deal. and so you've seen -- you'll see this year, i think florida power, they're the largest in the wind business, that their construction will probably be down dramatically, like everyb

in those attacks, people were accusing john kerry of having made up his military exploits in vietnam to get medals and other assorted things. much more serious than having a disagreement with a new boss. he is very defensive about it. his latest ad has groups of veterans saying, he is repeating the high points of this career, saying -- one of them says to tell our inspector to stop lying. they all say, we have only one thing to say. they also lose. -- the all salute. it has been a response of tactics. they feel that this will remind democratic voters that there'll be a backlash. it over my democrats of things they do not like about arlen specter. he has been battling them for 30 years. he is known as a really intense campaigner who is good at using negative ads. he is famous for nuking opponents. host: he is a political writer for the philadelphia inquirer. he has been joining us to talk about the debate between our inspector and sestak. the debate takes place tonight and we bring it to you tomorrow night at 7:00 brith it will be part of our campaign 2010 coverage that is the pennsyl

under the kerry-lugar administration we will be

there was another one released this week, the so-called kerry- lieberman bill. how is it different? guest: the bill i have reported out of the energy committee is not a climate change bill. it an energy bill. the committee's jurisdiction does not extend to putting limits on greenhouse gas emissions. that is something that would be done through the environment committee. our bill did not try to do that. it did not put in place a cap and trade system, or any type of limitr requirement for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. senator kerry has put forward bill that tries to do most of the kinds of things we did in our bill, but also tries to put in place a cap and trade system, or a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and a requirement that those emissions be reduced in future. host: do you support it? guest: i am still reading it. i think there are 1000 pas or close to it. i compliment senator kerrey and senator liebern for the hard work they have put into it. the's no question that they've spent a great deal of time developing the legislation. i have not passed any final judgment. host:

rove-type attacks -- something the republicans did to john kerry, to max clelan.o change unless. -- change this. whatever you can try to dredge up falsely against someone else, i like to stand up. i am going to change things in washington, d.c. i will try to change the career politicians. i will try to -- they will actually try to keep their jobs, not just by switching parties because of bleak prospects to beat up republican, but to literally put on the supreme court the most conservative supreme court justice -- clarence thomas -- almost in the inequity taking on anita hill. we have to have a change in washington. career politicians cannot keep it like this. we have to have somebody who believes you can stand up, even when the going is tough. >> that is your time. center? >> he says that senator santorum was on the record. he was in front of the crowd, looking for a presidential nomination, trying to explain why he had my support. he has given three different stories on the matter. there was absolutely no deal. when the congressman talks about the supreme court j

gore and john kerry and they hate us because we are the world's policeman. >> guest: interesting in your question the europeans actually i think are a better story. if you look at the collision involved both in iraq and afghanistan, there were most european countries with exception of russia, france, germany and a couple of others were overwhelmingly in iraq and on and not with us and in terms of the afghanistan of course ths military mission in afghanistang ds really now done under the nato umbrella and it is all of the nato countries now i think 26 at last count and a lot of other, and number of european countries as well, so i think they are standing up. there are questions aboutt performance and questions about how effective is our performanc so there is some discussion.the but i think the important thing. is the europeans have been withf us in those two flights and are. with us today in afghanistan in a big way.ave be russia and china is a different case. us russia because having been an an occupying power in afghanistan going to work for them to return on the ground though they are

in the senate from the chairmen and ranking member on the foreign relations committee chairman john kerry and ranking member dick lugar are both very committed in their efforts on this issue. i do not mean to speak for them. my conversations, they have been strong advocates. it really does come down to making it a priority within the administration, and we, in the senate, then, finding and making that time on the senate calendar for the debate that will ensue. over in the corner? >> senator, we appreciate your eloquence and your strong advocacy for the arctic issues and for the law of the sea convention. i work for the coast guard. we have an appreciative for college you have done. i have a question in terms of the practicality in terms of dealing with the negativity. what do you say to someone who writes to you and says this is giving the united nations the ability to control 70% of the world's surface or that it will permit the united nations to attack u.s. companies? obviously, it is completely false, but there are police that are held by some. i know former governor sarah palin has su

from its headquarters in kerry, north carolina, ken varna is working to make sure that men and women across this country are aware of the differences that early detection can make in the course of cancer. the foundation is engaged in educating and motivating people to become more proactive about their health and live longer. in fact, the concurrent resolution that honors the efforts of early detection month for breast cancer and all forms of ncer only came about because of ken and the foundation's efforts. i know personally the difference that early detection can make. several years ago i was diagnosed with melanoma. my cancer was found early because i saw my doctor regularly. i am living proof of the importance of early detection. as a cancer survivor myself, i want to enable all americans to have the knowledge and access to care that early detection of cancer provides so that it can be treated and cancer survivors can live long and healthy lives. every year almost two million americans are diagnosed with cancer. more than one quarter of these cases result in death. early detection

john kerry, al gore. it leans democratic.ench of state lawmakers who i believe can step up to the plate. but i don't think anybody can replace david obey. he's one of a kind. >> mary, what does it say to you? >> it says that the trajectory that began almost a year ago of independents moving away from democrats in the electoral terrain becoming better for republicans continues. obey's stepping down in combination with the radically reduced democratic turnout last night is just more of what we've been seeing for the year. there's a double-digit advantage to republicans on intensity, on enthusiasm, on party identification, the generic ballot is closing, and the -- the passing health care was supposed to be a big boon to incentivize and mobilize the democratic base, not happening. no bounce, no coattails. >> well, we face a tough -- >> all right. >> -- a real significant hit, mary, but do you know what, democrats, they'll pick up the interest as we get closer to the fall election. >> we'll leave it on that note, guys. donna and m

which very important piece of the story, i believe that climate change legislation being crafted by kerrynd lieberman and graham, which includes more offshore drilling is now dead for this session. >> gregg: i get that but congressman, is it wrong to let a company that was reckless for a catastrophe to happen, now perhaps be reckless in the cleanup? >> the company needs to be held accountable. this is something that hasn't happened to this magnitude before. i don't know if we acted quickly enough. with the company, i think the president has done everything he can to bring resources on the problem. i think until we figured out what happened here and how you prevent this from happening again, whether the company or government being responsible, i don't think congress is going to vote for more drilling in the gulf. >> gregg: there is an inherent risk in drilling for oil in deep waters, when you consider there are 3500 rigs operating out there, hasn't the industry's track record been pretty good? >> it's been exceptionally good. the one thing i would suggest is that we double check right now

recommendation that has been made by our own inspector general as well as the committee chaired by senator kerry and garne. the prior administration had proposed in the arctic areas because the concerns relative to spell response and other safety measures. will also taken steps to ensure that there are areas protected that are too special to develop, and that included crystal bay in alaska. we have established a science based process for determining which areas may or may not be ok for oil and gas development. it must and will continue. i am announcing that we are making additional leaps forward. we're making additional reforms to make this department have more tools, more resources, more independence, and greater authority to enforce laws and regulations that apply to oil and gas companies. first, i intend to establish the separate and independent safety and environmental enforcement entity that will require a restructuring of mms. to ensure that companies follow the law. to ensure that workers and the environment should be independent from mms's leasing and permitting functions. it proposes re

the only thing it doesn't have is the kerry-lieberman label on it. i would suggest if we're looking for that bipartisan energy bill that we can advance, we need to move to a bill that is ready to go, a bill that has that bipartisan support and a bill that can really work to move this nation further towards the energy security that we're looking for. >> as you have heard, one of the topics discussed at the luncheon was the need for immigration reform. yesterday, a current student and one former student at the university of texas at el paso were murdered in juarez just across the river from el paso, texas. you add that to. 23,000,000 people who have been killed -- 23,000 people who have been killed in the cartel wars since fwicks. you can see why because of -- since 2006. you can see because of the spill overeffect and the impact on american families, border security is more of an issue than perhaps it has been at any other point in time. objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, i support congressional action to move past the policies that discriminate aga
