and one of the things that we're doing in texas today, the texas literature passed legislation said ifeduce the emissions as greater a level as we have today and capture the c02 and use it for enhanced oil recovery, we'll give you a credit against your margins tax. you realize to date 200,000 barrels of oil is produced in texas every day using c02, pushing it in the ground to push that oil back up. and there's 5 1/2 billion barrels left that we know of and there's 10 billion across america. my friends, we have to advance the knowledge of wind storage technology. some of you know in texas we lead the country in the promotion of wind energy. it's not hot air from austin. it's actually wind energy. about 9,000 megawatts of wind power. more wind power than states combined. but god had a sense of humor. he put the sweet spot for texas wind way out in west texas and he put the demand load where the population center is in dallas/fort worth. he just wanted to make sure we could figure out how to get the west texas wind over to dfw. just like in texas what we'll have to do all across the count

my state of texas, $5,000 a year. as long as people know what they are purchasing, i don't know see why it is reasonable to restrict someone from having a policy that may be more affordable. my insurance premiums have decreased by about 50% over the last two years, not because i'm a member of congress and i get a special deal, but i said you know what? i can no longer afford this high option p.p.o. insurance that is available for us, so i have gone into a health deductible plan with a health savings account. i like the fact that i was the one who got to choose which doctors and facilities i used. i didn't have to call 1-800 -california to get an x-ray approved. i made the decisions as to who i saw and when. i have gone back to that type of policy and i'm satisfied. we have improved from the old medical savings account in 1996 to the improvements that started in 2003 and continue to this day. preventive care is included as part of the benefit in a high deductible health plan because the insurance company has an interes

you know, 27 years ago as a young texas state senator i authored the texas free enterprise and antitrust one industry, one industry alone to all others was exempted because of this federal law. so action about anti-competitive practices of one industry, the insurance industry. and we see the results. in the last decade, insurance premiums, health insurance premiums in texas have gone up over 100%. protecting consumers and fostering competition are american values. families and small businesses will benefit when the health care industry have to compete like other industries. this will reform at a newly reinvigorated department of justice who forget about it under the bush administration. together we can now have oversight that was overlooked for eight years under that administration. hopefully president obama will correct a major omission in the health care legislation that he's proposed by including this vital reform, repeal of the antitrust loophole for the health insurance industry. it's time for competition. it's time for open markets and it's time to block the closed door collusion t

in texas like teaching texas history more than american history.. part of what trying -- of trying to do this hyper reform -- we need to open up our narrative, we need to tell stories of women's history, african american history, latino history on and on. we have a big narrative with all sorts of players. it is not all about presidents and generals or white men. host: carl, liberty city. florida. caller: the old saying about it is coming back to haunt us. when we compare the jeffersonian and hamiltonian type of speaking to this modern day we look at the religious right, we look at the neocons and we look at, what you said earlier, the young people who have a tendency to move the country to much higher levels which is good because the person from kansas mentioned that the history teaching was eradicated and what i wanted to w3eat -- inject is it was eradicated because integration was coming in and the dixiecrats, those of that level of mentality -- mentality against integration did not want the young blacks to know that they had a heritage of buildi

for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. poe: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. poe: mr. speaker, the canadian premere stuck into the united states for some stealth health care. now, why would he come to the united states for heart surgery? because his life depended upon it. my heart, my choice, my health, he proclaimed. when it came down to it he didn't trust his life to canada's government-run health care system. imagine that. the premiere said after the successful heart surgery, quote, i did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when i entered politics. the american people said they don't want to be forced into signing their life away for health care. when life and death decisions are put into the hands of government bureaucrats, it's unhealthy to everybody. when it came down to the matter of his own life or death decision, the can nadeyeen premiere chose private health care and american heart surgeons over the

in austin, texas.artha: good morning, we have been following a story, acorn, for some time, and, news today that it could be the beginning of the end for acorn, folks, the embattled community organizing group now says they'll dissolve their, quote, national base and federal funding for the group has now been pulled, as a result of all of the reporting and the videos like this one that surfaced from several branches of acorn and the workers there, were giving advice to a exposed pimp and prostitute, but that was just the beginning, folks and how to avoid federal tax laws, another thing they passed along there, and, so that starts us off on a brand new hour now of "america's newsroom," welcome, everybody, i'm martha maccallum. bill: and i'm bill hemmer. good morning, and state and local chapters of the group are doing all they can to stay afloat, distancing themselves from the defunct national acorn title. martha: many finding new names, so, they may be operating under a different name, as they ditch the

you can see all this precipitation in texas. that energy is confessing over the midwest to the atlantic. -- encompassing over the midwest to the atlantic. this should be a major weather maker. it has a little bit of everything in it. we will try to get you some more specifics. >> thank you. as a reminder, whether coverage continues on our website, wbaltv.com. most of last night's storm was cleared up by the time computers hit the road this morning. things were much better than expected. things were moving smoothly for much of the morning commute, but some roads were slick. the snowfall also meant that people around the region had to get up a little bit earlier to clear off their car and sidewalk. some had extra time. the upside of the storm, some beautiful scenery. new details on a home invasion that said two to the hospital, one in critical condition. police say it happened when two masked men burst into a home on williamsburg the land. they overpowered a 74-year-old man and shot him several times. a 21-year-old woman was also

speaker, i yield my time to the gentlelady from texas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee is recognized as the leader for the remainder of the minutes. ms. jackson lee: there is an enormous history involved around haiti and the track record of the congressional black caucus. let me continue my remarks and i will yield myself such time as i may consume. ms. jackson lee: thank you for your courtesy and i note on this congressional black caucus hour that two of our members have come to the floor, chairwoman, honorable barbara lee and member from california, chairwoman of the financial services committee and recent returning from haiti, maxine waters. i will just recount as the chairman just did, chairman payne, a lot of the work we have done here in the united states, but also in case many wonder why we are continuing this effort and why we have made a commitment as members of the congressional black caucus to never give up or give out on haiti and view this as a long-term recovery and restoration is because

and texas showdown. the wild west of texas politics takes center stage. the tea party movement may once again be getting in the middle of a republican family feud. i'm shannon bream. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now. we begin this afternoon in chile where 400 people are reportedly dead following the massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake. that number is expected to rise. right now, hundreds of people could be trapped in the rubble. but there is a heroic rescue to report. more on that in a minute. first up, jen ross is a reporter with the christian science monitor and she is on the ground in santiago, chile and joins us now on the phone. jen, thank you for joining us whooch . what is the latest there? >> reporter: again, people are in middle of rescue effort efforts, trying to find people trapped in the rubble. you may have heard 100 people are still unaccounted for inside a building in concepcion and the efforts have been very slow because moving and trying to blast through the side of the concrete of that building cou

we are going down to the state of texas, where all the moisture has been generated. this will be moving its way east, bringing in some moisture. this will go into this vicinity -- off the course -- coast of the eastern seaboard. we will have a good opportunity as we go into the end of the week. we have a good chance for precipitation. we could be piling up. things have been wrapping out -- wrapping up for this system. we will not even mention what will happen next week. >> i do not want to move too far ahead. we will not be going to next tuesday just yet. there is too much to handle right now. the measure is a little bit over 4 inches. i did not know exactly how much was on the ground. we have several fresh inches of snow -- and we have half a foot of snow with this system. let me tell you about the next system that will be moving through. we have a little bit of slush and you can notice that we had two low-pressure systems. the system on the right will be them up -- will be the main system. this is going to reinvent itself. we are at the mid-atlantic coastline. acco

in texas.se are small businessmen and women who said we need to get the fear on it tft system. we need to give assurance. mr. speaker, i'm here tonight as a medical doctor to try to give some assurance to the american people that there are people here on the republican side that are fighting against this government takeover of the health care system. mr. speaker, the american people have spoken very loudly. recent polls showed that 70% of americans either want us to scrap the obamacare plans, the house plan and the senate plan and it would include his new plan, because it's the two plans put together, or do nothing. well, frankly, as a medical doctor, i don't want to do nothing. i have introduced my own health care finance overhaul plan, h.r. 3889, which is a comprehensive overhaul of the health care system. a little over 100 pages and it would put patients in charge of health care decisions along with their doctors. and even medicare patients, it would stop the government control of health car

but that not persuade the gentleman from texas. we had to bills which explicitly authorized regulation of the pay of fannie mae and freddie mac, and all the republicans on this dais voted against it both times, by one republican, mr. jones voted for it at one time. so i'm a little skeptical as to why we have all this coming up now. by the way, when we pass a bill that specifically would have done it for republican funded companies, we got a letter on march 20 which i will put in the record from james harcourt, the bush appoint the who is running the findings indicate, stern is objecting to it. so is the bush administration who first raised objections, or the holdover. now i think the say, the pagan is given to fannie mae and freddie mac was too high. and i think this, we will have a hearing with mr. demarco, and others who administer pay schemes for public employees in a month. now, my colleague from texas says he wants to know the answer that i know he's a man of great patience. and he has a very strong attention span but i do thi

heavy rain falling through parts of texas. this is the rain around dallas. that is rain in oklahoma city. look at the moisture, yellows coming into new orleans. dew point into the 60s in some areas. that's almost some of that really springtime kind of moisture coming in, but nothing around us, nor will there be tomorrow. overnight tonight, we've got the clouds in on us. those clouds will move out dpradly as we go through the nighttime hours. tomorrow, high pressure coming in. drier air. we may see clouds in the morning, a lot of sunshine. here comes that storm as we go through tomorrow. we'll begin to see some increasing clouds. there you can see that band of precipitation moves into the cold air. snow breaks out by friday midday into southwestern virginia. it will probably be around us as we get into the friday evening rush hour. that storm as it moves through georgia but off the north carolina coast friday night and saturday from every indication does become a major, major storm. everything coming together with terrific vertical velocities. the cold air ov

for example in the metro pleks in texas -- metroplex in texas, only a percentage of doctors will see medicaid patients because reimbursement rates are too low. it is too much like appearing to do one thing on one hand and delivering something far different on the other hand. so i think everyone agrees we need to solve these important problems, but how we go about solving the problem is important to maintaining the confidence and trust of the american people. bipartisanship, i think, on this subject is absolutely crucial. after massachusetts sent our new senator, scott brown, to washington, we know that there was more talk about bipartisanship. but instead of working together to solve these problems, bipartisanship has so often translated into take it or leave it. and if we can do this strictly with majority party votes, we will. that's what happened on christmas eve. i remember that 7:00 a.m. vote on christmas eve when 60 senators on the other side voted to pass a health care bill that the american people have simply said in every poll after poll they do not want. and, of course, now

[applause] i'm from texas. in texas, we indulge ourselves with a bit of horse sense.itiatives coming together they give you the horse that gives you the burden. we are carrying the government, the government is the writer. as long as the horses bigger and stronger than the writer, we can win the race. their notion is star of the wars and feed the jockey. when the jockey is fatter than the horse, you will lose the race. i have no doubt that somebody at ms nbc has determined which and of course i am. [laughter] i can live with being that part of course because i have seen the jockey. [laughter] please understand it's not a competition trade one of the most precious things we got from ronald reagan -- you would be amazed at how much good can be done if nobody gets the credit. let's stay in the race together, keep our focus, let's fight this monster is big government that is out of control and bankrupting the next generation. but stay civil among each other and the civil with the world. our discourse does not need to be angry. it's does need to be assertive. we need to le

his family owned lands and the slaves in texas. and his father was a member of the state legislature. but he works his way down on the social and political scale. when he is in the legislature sam johnson and sponsors a bill to have a road constructed by there hometown. by the time it is to be constructed, johnson is not only a former member of the state legislature but working on the road crew doing manual labor, pushing wheelbarrows, that is how far the johnson family had fallen. very, very quickly. and lyndon johnson and the sort of like scarlett o'hara and "gone with the wind", it does not promise to go hungry again. he promises never to be the idealistic fooled his father had been which played a promising political career in two working on that word crew and lyndon thought he would succeed not only in the most nefarious of ways politically but also that let everybody know how clever and nefarious he was. he works himself up from congressional aide the united states senator elected to the u.s. senate by 87 votes. those are high
