very good student. >> this is the grads from d.a.d.s., are byron poe. >> thank you, mr.e i get out, i know i'm going to make it better. this probably is my last -- i won't even say probably. i know this is my last run at criminal activity, drug use. i'm going to do everything there is possible for me to stay out of here. >> congratulations to the march graduates. [ applause ] >> i'm kind of elated. i was kind of emotional. i started to cry. i didn't think this would bring me to things like this. but graduating here out this program allows me to believe that there's goals that i can achieve once i leave. >> congratulations, everybody. congratulations. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> thanks, jen. >> all right. >> one inmate previously enrolled in the jail's education program is not graduating today. alexandria mcbride was dismissed from her m.o.m.s. class for fighting with another inmate. >> she flew to the ground, and i went crazy on her. so she came into my room and that's when she told me she despises me and she wants to punch me in my face. all kind of [ bleep ] l

mr. poe, texas you could substitute oklahoma for taxpayers. they are starting his day. the whole world is full of strife and texas needs rain. so we had a lot of drought in the 30s, did we not, in oklahoma? more than you have today. >> if i could answer, it is drier now than it was in the 1930s and the drought in the 19 big news was in oklahoma. the drought of the 1930s is actually the third worst. the one we are right now is worse than the one in the 50s. >> you think more severe than a 30s quite >> if they hadn't been for the conservation practices on when that would feel very confident we would experience the challenges we saw in the 1930s as far as wind erosion. >> that was not a trend across the country. dr. south, thank you for your statement and the data you submitted with it. you have a charger that indicates rainfall in forest lands in different regions of the country have increased over 100 years ago. is that the way i read that? northeast? it indicates other areas have increased also? as a matter of fact, every one of the regions -- do you indicate all the re

mr. ted poe. >> i much prefer florida also. >> thank you, mr. chairman. isis is blitzkrieging across the north of iraq and they have their sights set on baghdad. isis is made up of a bunch of bad outlaws and a hearing i held on this issue just last week our witnesses were unanimous in the belief that prime minister maliki just cannot lead iraq out of this crisis. he needs to go. the sooner, the better. the iranian influence needs to end in the iraqi government. the united states should not strengthen maliki's hand for providing unconditional military assistance. that's not the answer. i want to know what the administration strategic plan is to prevent the rise of isis. what's the plan, if any? mending relations with the saudis would be a good place to start and finally they are still held hostage in iraq. i want to know why we have failed to settle them in third countries including our own while the u.s. has dithered people have been murdered. i yield back. >> go to brad sherman from california, ranking member of the terrorism nonproliferation subcommitte

mr. chairman, judge poe. >> you have doubled your time and if we do that we will not get through because we are both coming. >> all right. i would just submit the rest of my statement. >> i have weighed getting my statement and offered mr. sensenbrenner's for the record. but with all the discussion about racism, let me make this one point. i was a judge for 10 years. i tried three capital murder cases in tyler, texas, two were of anglos, one was an african-american. the to anglos got the death penalty, the african-american got life. so i don't always have the appreciation for races -- racism entering into every aspect. someone had raised an issue of gee, since the judge appoints the grand jury foreman who had the leadership role in the grand jury, so i was attacked before they checked my record. i never ever considered raised in appointing foreman for my grand jury's. once they got the facts and found out that i had a much higher percentage of african-americans, as it turned out through the grand jury foreman, not because of race, they were just the best leaders on the grand jury, and so

mr. colson called up the poe attorney for one of the milk producer cooperatives and asked him to have the cooperative make a contribution to a political committee called of all things, people united for good government. that $5,000 contribution was made by the milk cooperative to that political committee. that check was cashed. the man who provided the original money in order to carry out the break in went to the political committee and recovered his $5,000. now stop and think of that. you have an irregular group not part of an established law enforcement agency and its activities are being funded through money raised privately. think of the implications of that for all americans. mr. chairman, i submit we came parlously close to losing our basic freedoms. it is for that reason that we must act affirmatively here tonight. this is a long step forward in restoring the health of our constitutional aal system. we do it mr. chairman prur surs to that constitution and with a sense of responsibility and a powerful belief in america and in the decency and the honesty of her people. >> time of the

mr. line of the 41 dollars enhanced. that been a big issue. big brains of 14,000 feet coming down the mountains. you'll have flooding and poe tonguesal for rock slides. there's the track for julio and there's the track for iselle moving away the next days. you may see some of the winds getting in between 80 miles an hour. this is kph and a fee mule is heading into the live kams. some are some dark when you dent see whaeps going on. 60 inches of rainfall because the commute jer mirges are to squeeze that out. all of that will get us into trouble. >>> lastly on halong. it will come up to japan and i think guys the problem will be not just the wind but the rain. some of the areas have received a meter of rainfall. that's 39 inches. that will be a problem. >> saturated already. >> so much rain. unbelievable. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> still to come for you, the u.s. has gun dropping humanitarian aid. it all comes after a desperate plea from iraq. a breakdown in the deepening crisis. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as w

poe say perhaps isis has crossed the southern border. i think there is no doubt we have had isis sympathizers in the united states as well. the potential is here. mrked about i think of fort hood and lone wolf jihadists. it don't stake a lot to yell akbar and start shooting. europe big time, judge. >> when you say that the governor perry and others suggest they are coming to the border what evidence is there to support that? >> you know, judge you have to ask them. they are coming after them. >> jordan is isis saying videos like the beheading of james foley will stair off journalists, will -- i mean what is their end goal here? >> definitely. they want to intimidate and obviously it was planned they want to intimidate journalists and others from coming. they want to tell their own story. they don't want journalists from the west coming there and i guess showing the reality of the brutality of isis and other groups. so we will have to see whether we are intimidated it or hopefully the christians all over the world will be motivated to act on behalf of other christians. >> i was reading there are some of these terror groups that are doing the kidnap
