i didn't coin that tyler. i stole it. i stole it from ingrid newkirk who is the leader of the ethical treatment -- people for the ethical treatment of animals. event, which is probably the world's most famous animal rights group. and she has said this over many occasions, but i think this is the best term, the best example, which illustrates i think quite vividly the moral equivalency that true animal rights activist activist, no one who believes in animal welfare. a lot of people are animal welfare activists who want to be kinder to animals and more humane to animals that they think they believe in animal rights. they don't. they believe in animal welfare. that term animal rights as i mentioned is used so loosely today it can mean anything from stopping michael vick from torturing dogs to perhaps preventing labs violent intimidation from engaging in necessary medical research. anyway, back in 1989 ingrid newkirk said this, and it's very clear what she means. animal liberation is cannot separate out the human animal so th

. >> let's go, tyler. >> this is the airplane shot. >> no, your eyes are not deceiving you. airplane out of a crop duster and on their second try got the ball in the basket in the field below. it was a stormy morning in austin to boot. so not only did they have to figure out the right speed and height of the plane, but they had to account for the storm and rain. and they nailed it on the second try. that's not edited. >> and they had to get the gmc truck in there in the right way, too. >> because gmc sponsored it. >> and that's just one of the videos that they made for the nba finals for gmc. we'll see more as the playoffs continue. >> i will take credit forgetting them on the show in the first place. >> oh, you will, will you? >> yes, because i saw this video. i'm online doing my usual surfing. and i see this crazy video and i says not possible, not possible. so we had them on and they explained how they do all these opportunities. and they're cool guys. very, very cool guys. >> okay, you do deserve credit then. >> we'll give harry credit for bringing help back because they

>> it seems a strange -- >> it's the tyler perry in me. >> tyler perry in you. >> my mom joined the reds around. then when i came back to the states, my mother had joined them. i thought, maybe there was something here. >> and the book's a little serious. it does have humor in it. but it seems a little different take for you, right? >> yeah. it's a little different take. but it's -- it's a character exploration. you know, the character starts off like homey the clown. then she ends up loving herself. it's about a woman who has to forgive herself in order to find love. >> i'll tell you what, she's got forgiveness for. right here. a little excerpt i'd like to read. it's good for you. james gently pulled her toward his waiting lips. their tongues danced slowly, both kept their eyes open gazing at the lust reflected in the mirrors to their souls. whoa. i mean, i smell a pulitzer or something. i've been to the red ladies -- the red hat society ladies' meetings. nothing like that ever goes on with those ladies that i know of. >> it's life after 50 is what it's really saying. you know, i think

>> joining us now with more on the oil spill in the gulf is tyler priest. on the oil industry and a professor at the university of houston. good to have you with us. as you look at it, i guess the real question i have is how did this happen? there is supposed to be all of these levels of prevention that are in place. how did all the various levels of prevention fail us? >> well, we really don't know for sure. we have to wait for the results of the investigation. what we do know is that the industry has had a great record over the last 40 years. they have very sophisticated and technological systems that produce oil and gas from ever deeper waters. i would -- i think we should be careful about rushing to indict this industry for what has happened. this is an abration to its long record and i think we should also be careful about calling this a failure of regulation. we just simply don't know yet. >> but clearly no matter how sophisticated the technology is, it didn't work this time. >> it didn't work. and this demonstrates the risks of developing energy. oil

tyler? ok. we have one right here. >> is a great honor to have you here today. i have been following the financial regulation package. i wanted to know more about the process going especially about the derivatives and have the bipartisan negotiation is going on that. >> we are laughing because i said, "i wonder if i will get a derivatives question"? i would say what is going on right now is one of the most intensive lobbying efforts that i have seen, that we have witnessed a. it is kind of going on behind the scenes but not so much. there are various elements of wall street desperately trying to weaken this bill. at the same time you have -- you have lots of people trying to strengthen the bill. derivatives are everywhere. i think the architecture is said. the question is really that people are attempting to carve things out and do things where it looks like it is a strong amendment but in really it carves out a bunch of people or weakens in fact what would otherwise be a strong regulatory system. we are watching every move that people are trying to make, assess

your first captain of the corps of cadets, tyler gordon. of honor in your respect for traditions, knowing that you joined a long line that stretches through centuries, and in your reverence for each other. when the course stand in silence every time a former ku that makes the ultimate sacrifice for our nation- the corps stands in silence every time a former member makes the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. we see your love of country, the devotion to america captured in the model you chose as a class -- in the model you chose as a class,,"loyal until the end." duty, honor, love of country, everything you have learned here, everything you have prared for, has leyou to today. when you take that oath, when that person pins those gold bars on your shoulder, when you become commissioned officers in .he u.s. army this is the ninth consecutive commencement that has taken ace with our nation at war. this time of war began in afghanistan, a place that may seem as far away from this peaceful bend in the hudson river as anywhere on earth. the war be

million men and women and their families who wear the uniform, including the family of lieutenant tyler brown, who gave his life for his country in iraq almost six years ago. today would be his2nd birthday. mr. spear, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff a the secretary of defense have asked congress to delay votingon don't-ask, don't-tell repeal until the completion of a study on the impact of the repeal and the best way to implement it. simply put, we must know what impact repealing the law will have on unit could he eagles -- cohesion, readyness and retention. but our democratic colleagues want to rejudge its conclusions and substitute their judgment for the collective findings of our military. this is without question the wrong way to legislate, but it's what the american people have come to expect from this democratic majority. it wasn't long ago that speaker pelosi told the american people they would learn what was in the health care bill once it was passed. now liberals in congress are once again telling the american people the same -- selling the american people the same bi

texas, and that's the way i have taught our three girls growing up their whole lives, growing up in tyler, texas, that if there's a problem, even if you are worried you might have done something wrong, you go to somebody in uniform, you can trust them. . i've taught them toe the same thing, if somebody were kidnapped no matter what the note says or whatever, you call the f.b.i. and you can trust them. i know so many f.b.i. agents, you can trust them, i know they would lay down their lives in a second. but what about when we come to the point when the federal law enforcement is ld by their commander in the white house that enforcing the law is a bad idea? that's problematic. then that spills over until you have somebody who is charged and his whole job is enforcing the immigration laws and he says, if arizona sends somebody that they have detained because they're illegally in the country, he may not even enforce the law that flies in the face just like the president's quote says. it is -- there's a great amount of risk when the core values that we've taught our children, that we all care a
