trip book since "blue highways" even as it sounds and missouri, kentucky, wyoming, o klahoma but mexico florida and other states. it is 70 minutes. >> it is a lot of people's favorite city in the country at i assume it is yours. the last time i was here on a book be 11 i was here for prairie earth i was on a 40 citi book to -- tour by the time i was a princess close fading than i had the flu by the time i got here i thought i was near death then it came time to go to the bookstore downtown and give a talk and i said i will not make it. i cannot do this but i did not have enough nerve to face the new yorkers they can be abusive. i went into the bookstore and i got in there it was a crowd of about the size i don't know if it is still the same set up and i saw all of the energy in your faces. was anybody there at that time? so i saw of this energy in your face is and suddenly i felt better and with and about five minutes i was cured and that truly lasted for about 10 hours.

. >> bob: beautiful sunset looming out over the gulf of mexico here in st. petersburg, florida.longoria, pena and zobrist, as jason bergmann takes over. andy sonnanstine is really being economical with his deliveries. he hasn't even thrown 70 pitches. 69 and 50 for strikes, retiring the last 12 nats. >> rob: he has to have -- remember john burkett, jeff suppan. when you don't have overpowering stuff yet you can throw 88, 89-mile an hour fastballs and place them. throw 78-mile an hour breaking balls and some change-ups, you can be pretty nasty. last year sonnanstine was so much better, they said 21 home runs given up over almost 200 innings. shows you how dominant his stuff can be even when he doesn't break 90 miles per hour. >> bob: jason bergmann has pitched 14 innings. that ball's trouble, left center. willie harris over to cut it off. longoria is not fast. and evan longoria just collected his first base hit of this series after going 0 for 5 with a walk. so the nats have done a good job for two nights of containing this offense, but there's just very little offense to go with

mexico and canada. and the coastal waters around florida and puerto rico. since 9/11, the border patrol has been on the frontlines in our national strategy to detect and apprehend terrorists and their weapons as they attempt to illegally entered intr the united states. before coming to congress, i served for 26 1/2 years in the u.s. border patrol. for half of that time, i was border patrol sector chief, first in mcallen, texas, then in el paso, texas. as the only member of congress with a background in border enforcement, i'm keenly aware of the invaluable work these brave men and women perform for our country each and every day. we have a lot to thank them for. in these times of heightened security, the u.s. border patrol and those agents are not only vital in helping to protect our country from terror threats and illegal entry of drug, but they also apehend and deter human smugglers and bring them to justice. oftentimes, these agents are the first people to respond in humanitarian situations in the desert by providing first aid, food, water, and shelter t

tomatoes last year from florida were blamed for a nationwide salmonella outbreak that was eventually traced to jalapeno and serrano peppers from mexico. in the meantime fda intimated at the time not to consume florida tomatoes and that cost our estate and agricultural producers and hardware consultants over $100 million, all of the time and effort spent tinting and suggesting that florida tomatoes or the problem only serve to delay the solution to the real problem and allow more to get sick. our committee understands the problems this committee has held several hearings ended understand that we must act expeditiously. part of the problem lies in the lack of federal authority to effectively respond to a crisis. when fda does not have incontrovertible proof of a specific food contamination, is cannot today into a mandatory recall. instead it must rely on corporations and voluntarily choose to paul inventory from the shelves. the fda does not even have the ability to assess civil penalties. this legislation before us gives the fda that long overdue enforcement authority. the problems facing food safety and oversight are legion and there

florida panther. we should not lose the jaguars along the mexico and arizona and we should not lose the polar bears in alaska. this is where they are fighting for species survival. this is where the endangered species act is real. these are the people at fish and wildlife that are out there on the ground. so my book is not just about theater roosevelt. it's about how he got to where this story is. we have a great system. the look at the maps we have. the problem is we are not maintenance and properly due to not enough funding for the wildlife refuge system. commercialization always encouraging. if you want to build a development, people don't like it. it's always that balance. >> how do we look to other countries? are there other countries doing what we're doing? >> oliver tamaron the world in one way or another. roosevelt, in my opinion, was the progenitor of the global wildlife protection movement. i promise you, he -- if he were alive today, a cover time magazine had lately, he would be fighting. his great-grandson right now is fighting to save the great species of the planets theatre roosevelt iv.

florida panther. we should not lose the yag waters along new mexico and arizona. we should not lose the polar bear in alaska. this is where they're fighting for species survival. this is where the endangered species act is real. these are the people at fish & wildlife that are out there on the ground. and so my book isn't just about theodore roosevelt. it's about how we got to where this triumph story. we do have a great system. look at the map we have. we're not maintenancing properly due to not enough funding or wildlife refuge system. and commercialization is always encoaching on these. people don't like it in florida if you want to build a development. you mean i can't build a condo complex because of a panther? it's always that balance. >> how do we look to other countries? are there other countries doing the same thing we're doing? >> all around the world, theodore roosevelt was in my opinion the progenitor of the global wildlife projection movement. if he were alive today, it's like a cover of "time" magazine had lately, he would be fighting, as his great g

group in florida, austin energy, consolation energy, seattle city light, public service enterprise, p&m resources in new mexico, shell oil, conoco, b.p. america, energy energy, g.e.,al could hea, dupont, dow chemical, johnson&johnson, national venture capital association. these are american companies that understand the point you were making a little bit earlier, mr. polis, that to stand still is to lose ground and that actually we have an enormous opportunity here to regain america's competitive edge, create jobs and once again lead the world in innovative technologies and techniques. but we've got to make that initial step. this bill creates that framework. >> mr. connelly, one of the things mr. heinrich talked about, if these jobs aren't created here they're going to be created elsewhere, the research will be done elsewhere, the fact that the american industry, the companies that you recognized who are, you know, many of them american-based companies, feel that this is a good policy, i mean, these are global problems we're facing. some way or other the world is going to need to wean itself off of fossil fue

mexico came and rigged yours? host: you wrote foreign policy in june with the title why iran 2009 can be like florida 2000. there is a long recount to the ballots. it sounds to me like hanini will come out, say this is the decision, let's move on. guest: i think that is the fear. hamini. he is the equivalent of the supreme court justice, he has a dog in the fight. that dog is ahmadinejad. if we indeed have the overwhelming majority of the popular vote and people feel incensed, that they were robbed, cheated, that this was a stolen election. some political capital will have to be used. i have to point out, the supreme leader's adversary, the political rival over the past two or three decades, who not long ago was must considered more powerful than himself. he's in the opposition as well. this is a unique situation that we haven't seen in iran in the past few decades of the revolutionaries being divided among themselves. host: about five more minutes with our guest. miami, john on the line with the republicans. caller: thanks for taking my call. i wanted to make a quick observation. it is ironic, about 30 ye

mexico which is divided into three different areas. the western planning district below texas, the central below mississippi and louisiana, and the eastern gulf below alabama and florida. the little spot in the middle are will recall 181, the land in between. there is tremendous gas and oil in those three areas. two are open. yesterday we voted to open the dark blue area, the eastern planning area. host: what about this area? guest: yes, we voted to open this destin dome area. i think that those on the coast of texas and louisiana -- there is a tremendous amount of work going into the fabrication of these facilities which are quite clean today, by the way look more like the space industry than the oil and gas industry -- but we believe the people along the coast should use some of those revenues for coastal restoration, improvements to energy ports, and at general infrastructure just like wyoming and alaska last year. wyoming received $1 billion from sharing the revenues on federal land. we believe the coastal states should share as well. it will be a big fight on the floor of the senate. we hope to build a coalition of interior and coastal states who believe that go
