publisher of the trends journal and also director of the trends research institute he joins me now from kingston. workers hey there gerald a lot of people watching this closely what do you think chairman bernanke he said today that americans should care about. well watch what happened look what happened to gold and silver prices they skyrocketed gold prices went up some twenty dollars silver two dollars what bernanke he said basically without saying it is that in evaluating the dollar by keeping interest rates low so every american should be concerned about this because it's one of the fundamental reasons why gasoline prices are going higher it's not only what's going on in the middle east and in north africa it's because commodities such as food and other things are dollar base so we saw what happened but i think it when it's going to go over the head of most people i think it's interesting that you mention gold and silver prices jerald on a lot of people also keeping their eye on the dollar which actually during the speech went to a three year low some reports also that gas prices rose by six

people start out maybe listening to the kingston trio, and before you know it, they've graduated to the library of congress, the scratchy library of congress recordings and other field recordings made, and before you know it, they bought a guitar picking songs in their bedroom wanting to cast themselves as a hero. the ultimate is bob dylan, but there's other folks who take their guitars to washington square park and put on the folk and enjoy the music, try to find a way to play it in what they think is an authentic manner. this leads a lot of kids into new left politics. >> who are the new white negroes? >> well, i use that term because at the time in the 50s and 60s, it's used by southern traditionalists and segregationists. they call anybody whose interested -- who's white drs who's interested in supporting the civil right struggles of blacks. they are called white negroes. they are -- writings to the student nonviolent coordinating committee folks, folk singers like pete sieger gets hate mail calling him a white nigger, and i news that phrase to -- i use that phrase to describe white

gohmert is the co-sponsor of this, along with jack kingston. i was worried about louie, he was here a minute ago, he left, i'm going to recognize mrs. noem to discuss with me, i yield her whatever time she needs, then we'll get mr. gohmert for a minute. mrs. noem: i appreciate that, i thank the gentleman for yielding to me. i'm one of the new members of congress that has first come here today, this is the first opportunity i've had to give a special order and i cannot think of a better reason to be here tonight than to make sure our military men and women have the opportunity to receive pay for their hard work and service to our country. i think it's important that we focus on all of the important things this congress is doing and the important thing this is republican conference and the house is doing because we recognize that from the very beginning, we took every action possible to ensure that our military could get paid. we started with our first bill that addressed the spending problems that this country has. h.r. 1, we brought it to the h

i recognize representative gohmert who authored this along with jack kingston. our leadership is offering an alternative solution which would fund the entire d.o.d. because of all the things that go on and get hurt by not having an appropriations fiven issued up with and -- finished up with and we will tell them what they want us to do. i'll submit this to you and let you comment. and i would submit if anybody shuts down the government, it's the democrats in the senate, not the republicans in the house. i yield to mr. gohmert the time you wish to consume. mr. gohmert: your comments also point to another aspect, not only your caring about america and those that are fighting for us and your desire to fight for those here in washington who are fighting for us, but shows a great deal about your humility. you have been working on this issue just as long as i have had, and yet you are giving jack great credit and i appreciate that. you have done as much work, perhaps more, than jack and i have and the co-sponsors we have here. but, you know, things here in washington

kingston: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i want to be the first to say we do want to close the tax loopholes for big oil. for the four years that the democrats were in charge, we're not sure why they did not take it on. we are ready too take it on. -- to take it on. think about this, mr. speaker, for every $1 we spend, 40 cents is borrowed. if that had happened or was happening in your family, you would bring everybody to the kitchen table and you would say, look, we've got to make some changes here. we want continue to spend money the way we're -- we can't continue to spend the money the way we're doing it. today the national debt is 90% of the g.d.p. spend something approaching 24% -- spending is approaching 24% of the g.d.p. we can't get to a balanced budget with a spending gap that high above revenues and yet that's what we're doing. that's why the republican budget, the ryan budget, not just reduces spending by $4 trillion, but changes the trajectory of spending. because unless we change the pattern and we make some cho

kingston: permission to address the house for one minute.he spending debate in washington boils down to a couple of fundamentals. we spend 23% of our g.d.p., that is the level of spending of congress. the revenues to g.d.p. are only 18%. 5% difference in what your revenues are and what your spending are. right now for every dollar we spend, 40 cents is borrowed. you can't continue to defy gravity. this week we will consider the ryan budget. it has spending reforms and regulatory reforms. all things are very good. the president will re-introducing another budget this week because it's important because if you don't like the republican ryan budget, that's fine, but put your budget on the table because the republican party has some ideas. all we have heard from the democrats is criticism. we have got to come together as a country to do what's best not just for the next election but for the next generation and indeed, for our future. thank you very much. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpos

kingston, jamaica, you are on the line. how is obama doing is a -- an international leader?aller: i think he is doing quite well. what is unfortunate, from my perspective, is that he does not seem to be getting a lot of support. he is perceived as weak. the fact is that many people, the rest of the world perceives americans as quite pushy on many fronts. here is somebody who is willing to work with other people and it is perceived as weak. i don't see that as week. i see that as leadership. i figured that the criticism he gets is unwarranted. it doesn't seem to be in a way to try to support him. it looks as not supportive from where we said. sit. host: houri watching c-span this morning? caller: cable. host: next call. caller: they never give credit to an individual. i think the uprising in the middle east is because americans picked a president they wanted and they want to pick a president. the fact that there is only one michael jordan, oprah winfrey, abraham lincoln, and even ronald reagan and there will be only one barack obama. this country needs him. they never give hi

regarding the kingston coal ash, they came in and helped us immediately. >> what is next?> the next step is to keep cleaning up the coal ash spilled. they have not chosen whether they are going to do subtitle c or d yet but the main goal is to help the people right now. >> what did you learn in the process of making your documentary? >> not only the statistics about the spill, but there worked out to work on a team for the documentary. i've learned that the federal government really does help us every single day. i could not of work as hard as i did without my teammates because i would not be here if it were not for them. >> thanks a lot and congratulations. >> thank you so >> are sick, a poisonous substance, and other heavy metals. right now it has no regulations, so it can be thrown out with trash. >> i promised to propose regulations by the end of the calendar year and we are on track -- >> the federal government is nothing without its citizens. so naturally, the environmental production agency listened to the opinions of the people. one of our senators, lamar alexander

you mentioned in passing that here we are eight years in iraq, 10 years going in a kingston. we still are trying to measure the number of contractors in both places. why are we where we are with regard to having these issues, both of you? >> i think one thing is services are not well understood. you cannot level them. -- label them. the services of the housekeeping chores. that is not an accurate representation. but it is not something people worry about. if you look at the budgets for services, you are very hard pressed to find where the money is and to hold people accountable. i think we have been able to buy our way of it. we have not had to worry about it. if we did not do something right, there was money to do it over again. i worry about the point mr. greene brought up. when these operations to come down and things return to normal, i think the imperative is going to go away, and we are going to go back to situation normal. if you go back in time and look at how we budgeted for these activities in peace time, the same problems have existed in peacetime. the have gotten

in the last week congressman jack kingston, john carter, steve king, michele bachmann, a number of people involved, we wanted to ensure that if the democrats say we don't care -- for example -- gee, providing federal tax dollars to fund abortion in the district of columbia is more important than anything else, we wanted a vehicle to make sure our military gets paid on time so while they're out in harm's way they don't have to worry about it. we filed a bill within the last week and it's h.r. 1297. i contacted senator kay bailey hutchinson's office and jim inhofe's office, and they had it filed first of the week down there as senate bill 724. now we're told, gee, there's a procedural problem because even though in the first two paragraphs each one starts with to appropriate, to appropriate, later in the bill, very short, three pages, it says make available funding. that can easily be remedied by a manager's amendment to change to shall appropriate. easily handled. a rule was passed this week that this could be brought to the floor within 24 hours. that part is waived. there is no reason th

kingston: i thank you, mr. speaker. and america is at a huge crossroads right now. we're in a situation for wherever -- whenever we spend $1, 40 cents of it is borrowed. our national debt is about 95% of our g.d.p. we are losing our edge as a global leader. it hurts our job creation. it smothers the private sector and it denies you and i of some of our basic freedoms because the bigger the government gets the smaller your personal freedom gets. that's why the budget that has been introduced today is so worthy of a strong debate by both of us, both parties, that is. this is about the next generation, not about the next election, and i urge my democrat friend and my republican friends to come together and do the best thing for the united states of america. not just for partisan politics of the day. we are americans, we can do better, we can get this job done and we must get this job done. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from florida rise? ms. brown: i ask for one minute to revise and extend my remarks. the spe
