mr. cramer: thank you, madam speaker. just under three years ago, a 2-year-old little boy in bismarck, north dakota, watched for half an hour while his stepfather beat his mother to death. today that little boy is my 5-year-old son. chris and i were blessed and are blessed, have been able to adopt, where we work every day to dilute the memories of that awful night with new memories of love and affection. i know the scourge of violence against women personally. it is not an abstract concept to my family. it's very real. that is why i support and will vote today for the violence against women act, because i want the shelters and programs that keep women safe to be well funded. i want the advocates of change to have the resources, to turn victims into victors. i want the law enforcement officers and the prosecutors to have the tools to impose justice on behalf of my son and other women and children. it's not just theoretical to me, it's personal to me. while i support the violence against women act because it's personal, i s

mr. cramer's "mad dash" ahead of the market open. darden? >> you're going to see darden up.den should be down, right? they once again said things weren't so good. they talked about the macro headwinds. you're supposed to say, we're not doing as well as we thought because of payroll tax increase, and gasoline prices. so they've got the script. i guess the script came out and it was that spielberg -- who did that, disney? what movie told you to use that script? the script is so prevalent people read it and say -- >> the problem with the dri is they have a different script every time -- they find a script. >> whatever macro is. in the end, it's just a no-growth story. and we want growth. and they don't have it. they just don't have it. >> red lobster -- >> down 7%. >> why does it always take forever for me to get into olive garden? why doesn't "mad money" get me in there? do you still stuff the rolls in your pockets like i do? >> alfredo sauce dipped in there. i'm just saying. >> the salad. don't ever underrate that. >> i would never. >>> the final opening bell for the week jus

mr. cramer: today i dropped in the hopper my first bill as a member of the united states house of representatives. it is a bill that corrects oversight. the energy policy act of 2005 established a federal permit streamlining pilot project to improve the processing of oil and gas permitting to onshore federal lands. the b.m. -- b.l.m. field office was included. the city office serves north and south dakota. without the dakotas included. north and south dakota permits are excluded from this program. permitting to drill on federal lands has exceeded 225 days for the past four years when state permits on non-federal lands take only 10 days to process. with the passage of this bill, more land will be open to a program that seeks to reduce this sluggish pace and oil and natural gas explorers will have more work to do sooner. beyond the mediate benefits of this bill, i hope it begins a conversation of more extensive reform to the permitting process. the oil and gas revolution in the united states has the potential to lead us out of this economic slump. i believe america's national security and america's

mr. cramer: a north carolina legend died recently and i was honored to be able to attend the celebration of his life, a sendoff worthy of a king. justin was like royalty, especially to the people of his hometown where he served as their mayor for 14 years. public service came naturally to chuck. during world war ii he enlisted in the united states navy, serving as an ensign and commanding officer of a landing craft infantry ship. in addition to military and local service, he served 16ors in the north dakota senate where he was also president pro tem. he really made a name for himself and mine when he combined his love of scandinavian culture and america by founding the annual north krisfest, the largest in north america. it brings thousands of people to america every year to celebrate everything scandinavian. he received the thee door roosevelt roughrider award in 2002 and was inducted into the scandinavian american hall of fame in 2011. may god bless chester's memory, his wife, and their beautiful family. he will be missed. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what pu
