it will be a nice boost for us as well. we do not know about those resources off the atlantic. we have to figure out what might be there. back in 1985, we thought we had 9 billion barrels in the gulf of mexico. we had 45 billion. it becomes deeper and more sophisticated and we are able to bring more to the market. we think this is a positive development. we are happy to get a headstart. host: geographically, it looks like a huge increase in area. is it doubled the space? guest: it leaves a lot off the market. the entire west coast. they have been exploring and developing since the 19th century. they have operations but off the coast as it is. they are forgoing quite a bit. it also leave a part of the east and gulf of florida. there is a lot of natural gas right there. we are not one to be able to go for some of that. we are happy for that. there is still a lot more out there. this is a great step forward. that segment in the gulf -- congress has to go back and say -- there is a little piece beyond 125 miles that is under a moratorium until 2022. he cannot open it by himself. he

ted haggard is here with us as well. can you be christian and gay? should anyone have to choose one or the other? next on "larry king live." >> larry: good evening. this will not be a dull show tonight. jennifer knapp is a grammy-nominated christian music artist. recently came out publicly as a lesbian revealing that she has been in a same-sex relationship for the past eight years. her new album "letting go" will be released in may. it's available for presale on itunes. we welcome jennifer knapp to "larry king live." why did you come out? >> well, go right for the jugular. as a history in the christian music industry, very well-known for my faith, i felt like it was one of the most important things that i could do to allow people who i knew might not agree with listening to an artist who has been known as a christian and yet deal with the fact that they were homosexual at the same time. there were a lot of rumors circulated around for about seven years. and while i wasn't actually here to kind of answer them, and it's starting to feel a little bit li

us there? because energy was obviously one of the standouts and financial services a standout as well, but we need to zero in on what groups took us there? >> industrials as well. those are the three drivers in the marketplace, and the, you know, the nesto famous shutdown defensive sectors of staples, utilities and telecomes have been laggards, so it is no surprise to anyone what is leading the marketplace, but again, the pace is a law of averages and 1,000 points and a 10,000 and 11,000 dow is an increasingly smaller percentage move, but the fact of the matter is that last percent or 1,000 points took six months from october to mid-april to where we are now to get it done. so whether or not we close above will be interesting. >> yeah, we are not going to close above, it does not look like, because we are off of the best level scott wapner. we saw the rally at 11,000, but it came right back off as soon as it hit the level. >>> and it is 4:00 on wall street, do you know where your money is? hi, everybody. welcome back to the "closing bell." i'm maria bartiromo, and we fol ewilling a market on fire

we'll continue to see if we get any news out from fiat, as well, on this restructuring that we're expecting. let's bring in roman scott who is with us, as well. you heard what robert was discussing. we saw india raise rates. the focus is very much on korea and indonesia, as well. what is this going to do for the investor in the region? >> well, i certainly think that there is a mounting inflation problem across all of asia. we've seen industrial production figures, pmi, every survey that you want to look at and very strong quarterly gdp numbers, particularly in the exporting nations. so korea, taiwan, china, of course, which is an overheating position, india where underlying inflation is running close to 10% and even thailand, actually, they're well above their targets. inflation in thailand is running above 3%. so there is an inflation issue. the problem is, the easy monetary policies is very necessary coming out of the fed in the u.s. what do you do? you go slow on tightening and you say more accommodative than you should be leading to the risk of asset and property price bubbles you're getting in asia. i think that the bank of th

about and this study is different because it is going to focus on long-term effects of cell phone use as well as cell phone behavior like where you carry your phone or even how often you use it to text message. up until now most researchers found cell phones are relatively safe. critics say the studies haven't gone beyond ten years and cancer symptoms can take as long as 15 years to appear. >> driving around, cell phone to my ear all the time. >> i wake up and check it to make sure it is okay. >> we are a cell phone addicted society. in spite of our dependence on cell phones, experts say the jury is still out on whether they are safe. today five european countries launch the cohort study on mobile communication or could most. it hopes of getting better answers. it is the largest project of its kind looking at the cell phone habits of more than 250,000 people ages 18 to 69 in britain, finland, netherlands, sweden and denma denmark. >> the data is not conclusive. it is troubling enough europe is launching a 30-year study to get more definition on the real health risks from cell phones. >> the s

we have a guest who thinks it is so, and also julius joining us as well. thank you, gentlemen. julius, you believe there could be a third bidder here? >> well, i think they the whole thing is united airlines and continental airlines. i do not believe they would buy into usair which is in deep financial trouble, because certain mergers have never worked in this industry. >> would a continental deal work? >> yes, for a fundamental reason, you have to have support of the pilot groups, which you do at united and continental. >> interesting. you don't think that deals work in general, but the continental deal you think would work? >> absolutely. if you look at why the delta and northwest merger succeeded, is because the chairman, mr. anderson, had an agreement with the two labor unions. >> do you agree with that? how real of a possibility that continental jumps in here? >> well, continental and delta with the merger of significantly higher than the usair and united merger. so in terms of most value continental and united is the best merger, but if they refuse, united's second best c

talk about this is virginia state senator, donald mceachen, and historian doug brinkley joining us as wellag, let me start with you. you're group has been pushing for confederate history month for a long time. why do we need it? >> virginia was a southern state. the confederate soldier was the person who defended that state against a huge invasion by the north. he hasn't been honored and it's very similar to what's happening today with the vietnam veteran. it's like a chapter of history has been erased. governor mcdonnell said it perfectly. there's education that will benefit everybody and tourism will help the state and make people money. the confederate soldier needs to be honored and remembered. >> what do you make of the governor's decision to add this anti slavery language to the proclamation today? >> as you can see from governor wilder's statement, it really doesn't matter if that's in there or not. he's still against it. that makes a good case, i think for the need for confederate history month, because the opposition, the people who are making the most noise about this don't even

reverend, thank you for being with us as well. >> thank you. >>> coming up next, the hutaree militia in new york and details about it. . >>> in "crime and punishment" tonight, new information, some surprising of members of the militia group planning to wage war against the government and murder a police officer. eight of the suspects are shown here and their group, they call themselves the hutaree, its members view law enforcement as the enemy and believe armed conflict this is only way to destroy them. this is the leader of the hutaree, david stone. according to court documents, mr. stone voiced bad intentions and had a large enough collection of ammunition to do damage. but this makes them not to be exactly brain surgeon, stone and his followers wanted to create a country carved from four michigan counties and defend it as the one world order. they had gotten information about making bombs off the internet only they made theirs with cardboard tubes. although they had explosive material but none with shrapnel and prosecutors had audiotapes of the suspects that made clear their plot.

that said, goldman sachs would delay catching us as well.they would get a lot of credit, you either love them or hate them, but in the spring, actually fall or late summer of 2006, josh bernheim who is the head trader at goldman sachs was that paulson & co., and he was over there, invited by john paulson after you establish this bet, shorting against these toxic mortgages, toxic mortgage product. and he was bullish. and paulson invite him over there and he gets a lot of credit. ever listen to that paulson invited groups of illness, many of them are to challenge the thesis. he sits across the experts that paulson and he is the number one guy on the street. and he knows his stuff better than paulson. he says whatever you're selling i'm going to buy. and the guy of the paulson who are taken aback. was he trying to help them again as he trade with them and maybe it's time to help them out why was he trying to fake them out a bit. maybe he was sick of taking the other side of their position because they were shorting and shorting. and maybe he wa

call 1-877-tell-hln, and family law attorney vicki joins us as well as rob. >> well, this woman from tennessee adopted this child and brought him back to the united states, but sometime after that, as the child was learning english they say that they found out about this child's abused background, and that the child was acting out, doing things like wetting his pants a lot, which is of course not a crime. but, doing things like starting fires, and, in fact, that was the final straw they said that earlier this week he gathered some papers and started a fire in his bedroom. they say they have video evidence of this. i might add to this that something that we just heard from moscow, a children's ministry official in moscow says that the boy has told them that the family in tennessee was abusing him, pulling his hair and shouting at him a lot. >> so maybe, two sides of the story there. we have a call of eileen in texas. what do you think? >> caller: well, my brother has seven kids adopted from russia and my sister two, and i'm just shocked, because any child that is adopted and put into

i know he wanted to come and join us as well and the timing changed so that he was unable to attend. but i thank him for his cosponsorship of this amendment. and i also want to thank the distinguished chairman of the armed services committee, senator levin, for cosponsoring it t i am truly honored by their support, and the diswd senator from illinois -- and the distinguished senator from illinois, senator burris, tells me that he wishes to cosponsor as well. i am grateful to him and i thank him. he is a former banker so he understands these issues very, very well. i'm very gratified by his support. the last thing that i want to say before i close on this subject is that the system by which credit card companies get consumers into these high interest rate predicaments is no accident. it is a system, and it's been carefully designed by the credit card companies, beginning with the way they write the agreement. when credit cardigan, the credit card agreement was two or three pages long. i'm looking at an array of young pages in front of me. they're pretty soon going to be getting credit

i want to take the time to thank senator dodd in particular for working with us as well as thank the administration for working with us to come up with an amendment which will synthesize exactly what this bill does, and the purpose of this amendment which is pending at the desk which i'm hopeful we'll vote on on tuesday says to prohibit taxpayers from ever having to bail out the financial sector. when i heard my colleagues on the other side say senator dodd's bill would ensure taxpayer bailouts, i knew it was false. and i went to senator dodd and colleagues on the committee and is that i had didn't understand why these comments were coming from the other side. it is like saying this glass of water a cup of coffee? no, this glass of water is a glass of water. it is not coffee. and if you say it seven, eight, nine times that it is coffee, somebody might believe it. that's how i viewed the comments from the other side that this is guaranteeing bailouts when in fact it is not. so i said to chairman dodd, i have an idea that we should put together a very simple bill, an amendment to the bi

as to how active our blogosphere is. our government uses a combination of old school tactics as well as new ones. they do this on a legal realm as well as a technological one. when someone writes things that an authority does not like, they have a whole host of options as to how to neutralize this individual. they can prosecute this person under the penal code, or they can prosecute them under the new cyber crime penal code. those provisions are very vaguely defined and capone -- and can potentially be redefined to go after any of blocker that enters those authorities -- any blogger that anchors at those authorities thoseangers -- angers those authorities. one thing that was said to a leading blogger to was arrested and in fact tortured, he was basically told, "there are too many of you. and every day there are more of you. we cannot bring all of you in here. but we can make examples of the people we bring in here.

as well as the transportation coming out of iraq. that way, we can make better informed decisions about the costs. sometimes the operational costs -- the operational benefits would cause us to make a decision that might not look mountain -- monetarily beneficial, but it is all done for the right reasons. and we set up a number of boards that have my own maintenance and supply experts look at it in the end. it is a big decision-making process that goes from end to end. >> a great benefit to the taxpayer what your doing, as opposed to buying all new equipment, that you are ableo refurbish and do some sprucing up to keep equipment in the fight. >> that is absolutely right. the equipment we have got, as you know, has been ridden hard. when i was in baghdad in 2005 and i put 20,000 miles on my home -- my own humvee, and that was significantly greater than what was planned for the life of the vehicle. but the equipment will be pulled down here and as innovation has come forward from the states with engineering improvements on armor and protection for soldiers, we also do that work here and send it back out to them. we have a big process of taking accountability for all of the

in particular if i could add it would have been more cursors as well as more efficient for us to have been given notice. but it will have been much more useful for us about the document a few days ahead so that people have a chance to look at them, and sort them so they can inform the question. in the brief hour or so that we have had them, that would have informed our questions. so if i can place that on record, i don't know whether any of our witnesses feel as moved to comment today anyway? >> could i apologize for this? it is an air. it is not quick. it would've been much but if you had it in advance and i apologize for that. i think we will be writing to explain the situation to be quite honest is not the right way of doing things and i accept that. and i should ensure that that doesn't happen. i do apologize to the committee for its. >> thank you very much. to be quite honest, lord was, obviously largest made with being our first session. what matters much more to us in the last time this happens. and not that it is the first time. can't i just begin by asking about the definitio

and of course that was ruled in lower court and the court of appeals as upheld this and main argument the fed uses in the court as well as here in the hearings is that if we knew so much about these banks and where these loans are going to stigmatize these companies and banks and do harm to their reputation and make problems worse i sort of understood that argument even though i don't agree with it because in a way that challenges the whole notion of what the sec exists for. they want accounting procedures. they don't want to hide information and if they do if it's not out in front it deceives the investors so in a way the sec is fighting to get information to notify investors and if they don't do it right they get charged with fraud. but it seems to be perverse that the federal reserve takes a different position that if a company's in trouble or a bank is in trouble what we don't want to do is let the customers know. so i find that rather challenging because i think revelation of what is going on, what's going on especially now with the financial crisis what the american people want. i'm also interested in finding ou

as well as the revenue side. we had some bad investment policy to answer your earlier question. usingha which was cross dressed debt when i was running for the office. i'm a retired venture capitalist i said this is a bad idea. when you take on debt it's dangerous. you need to know when you're doing it and there was embedded debt in that strategy. we've had very handsome returns at treasury since i took office because there are a lot of good investment opportunities out there. you can't have fantasy island budgeting when it comes to pension obligations that are trailing and fixed we need to figure out how we fund them and then we need to invest the money better. >> as i understand part of the problem here is that when the stock market was booming, pennsylvania decided we're making so much on our investments for the pension program, we can reduce what school districts and the state have to pay. so the school district contribution is like 1% of payroll. that's not sustainable. they'll have to increase that and do it gradually but have to increase what the school districts among others p
