costa rican scientists have used drones to monitor one of the country's volcanoes.pal, small unmanned aircraft with video cameras are flown above national parks to combat animal poaching. protestors in eastern europe used a drone to get a bird's eye view of the situation on the ground. but here in the u.s., the storm clouds of legislative battles tied to privacy concerns are looming on the horizon. according to the national conference of state legislatures, so far in 2013, there are at least 39 states that have 80 bills pending related to unmanned aerial systems, most would limit u.a.v. activity. just last week, idaho governor c.l. "butch" otter signed a bill restricting the use of drone aircraft by police and other public agencies. the potential widespread use of drones isn't just spurring conversations at the state and local level. last month, the senate judiciary committee convened a hearing titled "the future of drones in america." vermont senator patrick leahy wasn't only carrying paperwork when he walked into the hearing. the committee chair was holding a smal

the problem with puerto ricans is they are widely held. they are exempt from state taxes.hey are exempt from federal taxes. in some cases, triple tax exemption. that could have broad reactions on the market. be very patient with where and how you put money to work. dagen: great to see you, as always. peter hayes from blackrock. thank you so much. need a little more tax advice? coming up in the next hour, we have someone to talk about listening your tax pain why purchasing orseas. connell: immigration in washington is one of the big topics this week. senator marco rubio made an appearance on about every single talk show that would have him this weekend. he was rejecting the criticism out there that this will provide amnesty to illegal immigrants. >> this is not amnesty. amnesty is a forgiveness or something. amnesty is anything that says do it illegally, it will be cheaper and easier. you have to go back to your home country. you have to wait ten years. then you can apply for. all we are saying is we are going to create an alternative of that. there is a lot we could talk a

puerto ricans are born citizens of the united states. not by their own decision.17 citizenship was imposed. >> but just second class citizenship. >> and then cubans. the cubans have never been called illegal. but also societal inclusion. they have access to right and resources. and we see that reflected in the political representation, labor. >> it's why marco rubio ends up as an odd poster boy for the gop. i don't mean that in a derogatory way. or poster man. for the gop immigration conversations because the cuban pathway is such a very different alleyway. >> it's kind of ironic. it's been about seven or eight u.s. senators in our history have been latino. >> it's so disproportional. cubans, that's incredible. >> and they are illegal until they reach shore. they have a weird immigrant status. until they reach the land, they, too, would be classified as illegal immigrant. all the sudden we have a very religious connotation. in all the ways they were determined to be so deeply problematic. what happens when i say the word worker? wen we come back. my mother made th

black groups radical friends, 10-12 organizations, young hispanic brothers, puerto rican brothers, young brown beret brothers, ect., we did that. i'm talking about face-to-face coalition powers. this is what they were afraid of. more important, they were afraid of the free breakfast for children program, afraid of the free preventative medicare health care clinics where we got the support, afraid of the acin- anemia testing program. you have to understand the dynamic of the politics. dr. king was killed, only had 400 members of the coast, and in the next six and seven months, i had 5,000 members and the ncff, nationals committees and frame works, that's 68 frame works, talking about the same basic programs. think nixon was elected in 1968. next month, a meeting with jay edgar hoover. by the first week of december, hoover's on national television saying the black panther party is a threat to the security of america. this is before nixon is even sworn in. they are already on getting ready to move. by january 17th, carter and john huggins are murdered and killed as documented in this book,

so it seems like in the puerto rican community, we need journalists who are going to cover our community so we can develop a rapport and get to know those communities. >> they have the luxury of covering a more diverse thing. so i think that is kind of a microcosm of what we see in society. where white communities have more social capital. because other ones that are on staff, they make money, they have the real estate and journalists of color get the honor to be able to and they get rotated out because there are so many that they can allow. >> he held onto his column for a long time. but he has been under pressure for years. >> i used to hear stories about that all the time. so you deal with different kinds of, you know, this is something that we have talked about before. >> by the way, david gonzalez writes beautifully about puerto ricans as well. >> exactly. and he is absolutely amazing. >> [inaudible] so this is something that we have been exchanging correspondence about. i think there is something interesting about the fact that the proxy for journalist who actually have a kind of c

--ricans or all conspiracy americans love conspiracy theorists. >> we are probably not alone in that. let's listen to sean in columbus, ohio. you are on the air. >> i was wondering if it is true that when margaret taylor prayed for her husband's defeat for the presidency, she was that much against it. when she an invalid in the white house because of difficulties of having so many children? >> i don't know that she actually prayed for his defeat. she was not very happy with his victory. >> many of these stories are written well after the fact. as a historian, we have to question where is the source of these stories? if you hear the stories told in five different stories and it turns out it is the same story told over and over again. we don't know if it is true. there's a story that apparently he was on the steamboat when the movement was to make him the nominee and somebody asked him who he was going to vote for. taylor said i am not sure, and the man said i am voting for taylor. and why will you not vote for taylor? he does not know he is talking to tyler. he said i would not vote fo

i was there with the program and we ran back and forth, asking about the puerto rican island, the u.s. navy and at the time, asking one they would stop, i asked him about racial profiling. this is a time when ralph nader was running. they saw him as a threat. and i asked that president clinton be responsible for ralph nader success because he had brought the democratic party to the race. it was at that point the president clinton said, i find you hostile and combative and at times disrespectful. so i said okay, and i just have a few more questions. asked about racial profiling because al gore had said he became president he would be the first executive order to do away with racial profiling. so i said if that is the intention, i said why haven't you done it until now. but anyway, after that, he got off the phone. it got a lot of attention. next day i get a call from a local newspaper in new york and i'm talking to the reporter and i get another comment from the white house. so i put the phone down. at the time we used tape recorders. and i said, just one minute, please. who happens to

to you know what the rest of --ricans call spending sitting next to somebody with wildly different political? thanksgiving. we are not impressed when you complain about how bills are too long to read. the health care bill is 2000 pages. good. a bill that insures every person in america should be longer than the girl with the dragon tattoo. i do not think you read bills anyway. i think you vote on bills in the same way as the rest of us agree to updated terms and conditions on itunes. well, i should wrap it up. i am getting a red light. not the red light that signals i am out of time. but the red light that signals that the camera is low on batteries. in all is this, i want to thank the journalists here tonight. i could not do my job if he did not do yours. it is fitting that this event happened on the same weekend as the royal wedding. as i was watching the festivities, i could not help thinking how wonderful it is to live in a country where people do not wear hats like that. an honoras turly been for me. america is the greatest country on earth and at least when my speech started, was still
