and the united states navy played a huge part in the battle of baltimore. as well. so the navy in both these battles changes the whole complex of -- complexion of the war because up until this time the english had been doing wonderfully well. but don't forget this: england is tired. their people are tired. they've been fighting the french since 1793. they had been fighting napoleon since 1799. and, okay, they thought the strategy this america was fine as long as they were winning. they liked it when they wanted washington. that was wonderful. but to lose and then to think they were going to have to put more troops in and spend more money and more sacrifice in order to split up the united states and gain territory, that was too much. so when news of plattsburg and baltimore got to london, the whole political climate in england changed, and they had a prime minister then, a wonderful guy named liverpool who was, who was a politician who always moved with political opinion. the franchise was very thin in england. didn't matter to liver pool. lyndon johnson said you're n

another thing he said was that the united states navy was in the best shape it has ever been. we are committed to keeping that spirit we are committed to stabilizing the fleet in -- we're committed to keeping that. we are committed to stabilizing the fleet. >> what is the chain of command? you don't have direct access to the president? >> in the law, it is an anomaly. it says that i do. i do not. the secretary of navy has access to the president. i am not sure it has ever been exercised. i have a -- i cannot ask for a better working relationship with secretary gates or was secretary panetta. they are both incredibly bright, focused, dedicated people who understand what it takes to protect america. i cannot ask for a better working relationship or a better arena in which to work. >> what does the secretary of navy not have? under the law, can you tell the chief of naval operations what to do? >> here is the way it works. chief naval operations report through me. they also are members of the joint chiefs of staff who are directly advise the secretary of defense and president. th

there or do a range of missions using the same people of platforms, you are describing the united states navy and marine corps. now, i do want to say that we have got to have a great army. we have got to have a great air force as secretary gates said. but the maritime challenges, we can go anywhere by sea. we can do anything when we go there. we do not take up an inch of anybody else's territory. we can project power into -- and do everything from high and combat to disaster relief and humanitarian assistance to irregular warfare to engagement. as we are focusing on the western pacific, as we are focusing on central command. we cannot not engage in africa or with europe and do training, do exercises, do the things you do to prevent something from happening to make sure that you know the people that you're dealing with. for a lot of people around the world, the only the americans they ever see our sailors or -- our sailors or -- our sailors marines. >> why do we want 25,000 marines? in australian. >> we do not. it is 25 under. -- it is 2500. >> it is 2500. >> i thought it was 25,000. >> when y

captain charles steedman of the united states navy offered what some might consider extravagant praise for the subject of my talk today. that little man, said steedman of our hero who was just under medium height, clean shaven with piercing eyes and a determined jaw, that little man has done more to put down the rebellion than any general except grant and sherman. some of you may have already figured out who steedman was talking about. it was, of course, admiral david, the commander of the fleet in the recent victory at mobile bay. he is more important and more relevant to our chronological focus today, the captor of new orleans and architect of union control of the lower mississippi valley in 1862. in my judgment thiezchievements along with the part in the port hud sentence and vicksburg campaigns in 1863 but especially the capture of new orleans, one of the most important northern strategic victories of the war do entitle him to virtually equal status with grant and sherman in winning the war. in the eyes of contemporaries in 1861, however, the allegiance to the united states in the

>> i was in the united states navy. >> you're a veteran. >> yes, i tack an oath to support and defend constitution. >> any citizen whether a veteran or not should be happy to take the drug test, as a veteran, i would think that he would be concerned about the freedom of the taxpayers. the taxpayers that are working day and night, sometimes two and three jobs, and he won't even do this very simple thing to help his family. >> i just don't get that. >> so who pays your salary. >> the taxpayers of the state of florida. >> i'm sorry, i think i'm going to need you to pee into this cup. (applause) >> i'm not going to submit to a drug test because aasif has one in my office. >> reporter: there was somebody who said anybody who is receiving hardworking floridian taxpayers' money should submit to a drug test. and i believe that somebody was representative scott plakin. >> if a law passed requiring legislators to do t i would be happy to. >> reporter: so would you be willing to be the first person to put that bill forward. >> well, this year i have all my bill slots filled. but you know, we get

united states navy offered what should would consider extravagant praise for the public of my talk today. that man says steedman, actually under medium height, clean-shaven with piercing eyes and determined jaw, that little man has done more to put down the rebellion than any general except grant or sherman. some of you may have already figured out who steedman was talking about. it was, of course, admiral david glasgow faragan the commander of the fleet in mobile bay. but even more important, more logical to the focus today, the captain of new orleans and the control of the union in the lower mississippi valley in 1862. in my judgment, these achievements along with the ft. hudson campaigns in 1863, but especially, the capture of new orleans, one of the most important northern strategic victories of the war, do indeed entitle farragut with close status with grant and sherman in winning the war. in the eyes of contemporaries in 1861, however, farragut's allegiance to the united states in the sectional conflict was an open question. although he had served under the american flag for half a

poland but also worth more than all the highways in the united states put together in construction costs, all the aircraft carriers in the united states navy and twice the value of the apollo program that sent men to the moon. it's ten times the value of the national football league. back to you. >> incredible. it helps put it all into perspective. thank you, scott. >> very interesting numbers. speaking of interesting numbers, yeah, we have had a smooth ride so far in 2012. finally on the last day of february, it started to feel like winter. >> a leap day for the record books possibly. overall tallies from the storm, we have had pretty significant rainfall numbers so far and we have got more rain on the way to add to the tally. you can see right here, the live picture on san bruno mountain, we do have sunshine over the bay area, a live picture trans america, this is the general sky over the bay area, you are getting a little bit of cloud cover and a little bit of sun but for the most part, still kind of overcast and those winds are still wing, see old glory blowing there in the breeze. winds will be a factor throughout the day today, altho

background, the quaker heritage of the nixon family and explored nixon's wartime experience in the united states navy. "fighting quaker" was a useful resource for a number of future nixon biographebiographers. during the vice presidential years richard nixon received surprisingly favorable coverage, he was friends with several journalists and allowed access to his office and files which helped the biographers. earl mazo wrote "nixon a political and personal portrait" game out in 1959 and there's new information about nixon's active duty in the south pacific and it's where he claimed that poker winnings financed the first congressional race in 1946. i'd like to point out the memoirs came out in 1978 and this is important work. released four years after his resignation. served as an instrumental step towards his rehabilitation. only 27 pages out of 1120 were dedicated to the early years. and so this is still an essential starting point for biographers. in the early 1980s we had academics who came into the picture, professional historians now provided access to extensive citations, notes, list of refere

they are the men and women of the united states navy and marine corps. many of the officers who command these forces started their careers here -- at the u.s. naval academy in annapolis, maryland. >> it's a very special type of person that chooses the naval academy. it's an unbelievable education, it is free, you do get a job when you leave, but there is that element of commitment to the country and also an element of self-discipline. >> i love the atmosphere. i love being around all the history. the naval academy's been around since 1845, and the tradition is astounding. it's great being a part of that. >> i think the naval academy offers a very unique opportunity to discover yourself, to grow as a leader, and to basically live and learn with the best and brightest, i think, in our nation. >> we're trying to find the horizontal distance as a function of the number of pumps to the squirt gun. today, we're doing a reverse-engineering experiment. as you can see, they've got these squirt guns. so, they're gonna pump it a few times, put some water in it, and

i'm merely suggest i think service in the overseas united states navy serving under national flag on shores created, i think, a concept that they were serving a national government rather than serving a particular state. that may have had something to do with it. if you're cynical, another explanation may be the southern navy was so small, there were very few jobs for senior naval officers -- >> very few ships i think, too. >> very few ships. the difference is age of institutions. west point founded in 18 on 02, around a long time, many graduates had reached senior, colonel field grade ranks where the naval academy, founded in 1845, it's graduates were relatively junior. those in senior command positions when the war broke out were not annapolis graduates. i'll contrast, the particular example is david glasgow fair gut, someone who learned on the job as a midshipman the way it was done early. virginia born, tennessee born, living in virginia, married to a virginia woman when virginia ses seeded from the union said i will not stay one more day. i will leave for new york. dear wife, you

i'd like to close by using a quote from the father of the united states navy, my navy, admiral john paul jones. he was in a battle with the british ship superior, more speed, more guns. his ship was getting blown up pretty good. the british captain got on the megaphone and yelled over to admiral john paul jones and said, sir, will you surrender? and admiral john paul jones said the words, he yelled back, sir, i have not yet begun to fight. the american people should know that house republicans have not yet begun to fight for the keystone x.l. pipeline. i yield back the balance of my time. >> i thank the gentleman for his leadership tonight and before he leaves the chamber tonight and before i yield to the gentleman from south carolina, i think it's again important to talk about something that you mentioned at the very beginning of your comments. the only reason the state department was involved is because it crossed the border. mr. gardner: the only reason, the only reason they were allowed to kill 100,000 american jobs is because it crosses the border. if the pipeline was built from far

perpetuation and creation of terrorism at this very moment all over the world for example united states covert operations navy seals intense mountain division forces were involved in the massive atrocities that existed in were committed in in eastern congo in one thousand nine hundred sixty no one knows anything about this but they're not going to show us american soldiers slaughtering innocent women and children which is what happened thousands and thousands of innocent women and children in september october of one thousand nine hundred sixty we're never going to see that what we see as this hollywood nonsense and that is as they say it's pentagon nonsense and these guys don't operate by day they never operate by day in the film they couldn't make the film because it's all and everything you do at night and i got this from the tenth mountain division operative directly so it's total propaganda and people as i say i mean what we have for people to use to avoid reality and become a more immature psychologically disturbed pathologically insane society which we have and that would be alcohol drugs which the cia

i want to achieve that i am an united states navy combat wounded veteran. i served upon the u.s. liberty that was attacked using unmarked aircraft. israel is no friend of america i guarantee that. they wounded my shipmates and wounded -- a murdered my shipmates and wounded many others, including myself. go to ushijack.com if you to learn more about the u.s. liberty. host: are you familiar with what he was outlining their? guest: it was a case that took place a few years ago. there was -- israel attacked a u.s. ship. a lot of uncertainty surrounding that was whether not israel knew it was a u.s. ship or not. it is something that happened in the past griffith is a deep situation today israel is a close ally to the united states. we have many close allies in the region. i think that maintaining that strong partnership with israel is important. again, one would think about the iran nuclear issue is a mistake to think of this as something we are doing as a favor to israel. even if israel were not the picture, we would be concerned about iran posing nuclear program -- should be concern

in a speech at the boston navy yard in august 1950, the secretary of the navy, francis matthews, argued that the united states needed to become an initiator of war of aggression and in this sense would become the first aggressor for peace. in the end, however, the global revolutionaries in moscow, the mad autocrats in pyongyang, the terrorist supporting military in pakistan all with nukes have been deterred by mutual fears of destruction. we call it deterrence. and, remember, israel has 250 nuclear bombs, many on submarines to ensure that iran realizes it would be mutually assured destruction. while the iranian regime is often called crazy, it has done much less to merit that term than did a regime such as china. over the past decade, there have been thousands of suicide bombings around the world by saudis, egyptians, pakistanis, palestinians, but there has not been a single suicide attack by an iranian. is the iranian regime really likely to launch the first? the efforts to delay and disrupt iran's nuclear program are working, but even if one day tehran manages to build a few crude bombs, a policy of robust
