two biggest boppers, evan longoria hits a little flair out to the outfield.then your number four guy bunts for a base hit. then the bottom of the order just crushes a couple of home runs. >> bob: i think those last two columns gave you a reason for colome's problems here in tampa. tampa bay, at least. willie harris will catch this one, off the bat of brignac. jesus colome, a 10-7 strikeout to walk ratio. in his years here. tonight's copyrighted telecast presented by the authority of the washington nationals may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form. everybody in this inning for the rays have batted except for the two speedsters, upton and crawford.  >> bob: very tardy, strik looks to me like they've got some hitters in this line-up who do a lot of guessing. i think he was thinking first pitch slider there. >> rob: i would agree. then you regroup and you cut down a little bit. i want to hit something in my area.  >> bob: 17th time they've five or more on the board. that's how you lead the maj

one man who did do this as evan thomas pointed out was ronald reagan. and i want you to listen to this contrast because it's very interesting. listen to the language. in 1987, 22 years ago this week, president reagan went to berlin and challenged our adversary the soviet union to take a step that would demonstrate that they were serious about peace. he challenged them to do more than just talk. he stood in front of the berlin wall that separated the free world from the communist bloc. and president reagan said, quote, general secretary gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the soviet union and eastern europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. mr. gorbachev, open this gate. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. now, like in france president obama took a different approach. he demanded nothing of our current adversary, iran. he challenged them to do nothing. saying instead, quote, we are ready for direct negotiations with the iranians on a whole range of issues without preconditions in an atmosphere of mutual respect. ro

in a widely viewed interview last week and i recommend this if you haven't seen it, evan thomas, senior newsweek editor and renowned historian was talking about president obama's world role versus reagan and evan thomas said this, i am going to quote, reagan was all about america. and he talked about it. obama as we are above that now. we are not just provoke deal, we are not just chauvinistic or provincial. we stand for something. i mean, in a way obama is standing above the country and above the world. he is sort of god. we will come back to the god part in a minute. i know it's stunning and difficult to set aside but let's look for a minute the rest of what evan thomas said. he said president obama standing above the country, the world, he's telling the stuff president reagan did to protect the country no matter where he went is according to evan thomas, provincial, perlo keel and chauvinistic. we are better and more sophisticated than that, he seems to think. if this was just "newsweek" making this point we could ignore it. but now listen to this line from president obama's speech l

evans has been with the chicago fed since 1991 and became its president in september 2007. he spoke before the executive club of chicago for about 45 minutes. >> thank you very much for having me come and speak. ben bernanke was the commencement speaker at the boston college school of law and a few weeks ago. his message to the graduating class was simple. the flexible and open minded in dealing with the fact that life is unpredictable. as part of that speech, he quoted from the beatles, john lennon, like is what happens to you why you are busy making other plans. this morning i would like to quote the beatles as well. in regards to the current economy, i think it was paul mccartney who said yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. now it looks like they are here to stay. [laughter] at our meetings, we get by with a little help from our friends. i am not aware of any secret messages embedded in fomc statement, but i have been told that some of our statements make more sense if you read them backwards. [laughter] i do not agree with that. now to a more serious subject.

>> up next on c-span, charles evans, president of the chicago federal reserve on the economy. then a senate hearing on rates for text messaging. and later a report on human trafficking. secretary clinton will give her remarks. >> tomorrow on "washington journal" and look at iran. former congressman tom davis talks about health care in republican politics. later, in the that the cover story on harper's magazine. that is live at 7:00 a.m. eastern here on c-span. >> how was c-span funded? >> through donations? >> through the federal government.

five strikeouts, 95- mile-per-hour fastball, great breaking balls, you saw that last 3-2 change-up to evanngoria with a man on third. the nats other run came on a bases loaded ground ball in the third. nats had the bases loaded, nobody out, settled for one run. so ryan and jordan doing quite well, andy sonnanstine giving up another home run. he's given up 14 of them this year. so now you're up to date and carlos pena hack as foul ball. to begin the bottom of the fourth inning. nationals by the way have austin kearns in the line-up tonight. you might have heard by now that the nats are without josh willingham. byron kerr will have more on that shortly. a tragedy in the willingham family, and josh left the ball club this morning to go back to alabama. we'll check in with byron shortly. pena, disoab rift, burrell. that ball is going to leave the yard, way out of here. almost to the scoreboard. and pena's 20th of the year gets tampa bay on the board here. he becomes only the fifth player in the major leagues with 20 home runs. >> rob: this is going to be a 95-mile an hour fastball down and in,

senator evan bayh, fatherhood's dad's inc. dr.obert franklin as well as mike straunmanneis and we also want to thank bobby flay with these unbelievably good-looking grub over here. i don't want to talk long. i want to say hello to everybody. i just want to thank everybody for participating for the young people. i just hope that the message we're accepteding out about how important fathers are is something that you will internalize because all of you are probably going end up being fathers. and the time is now to start thinking about what that means in terms of responsibilities, what it means to be a man. and the men who are -- you're going be sitting with today, i think exemplify whether their famous or not famous, rich or not so rich, they imbody that spirit of love and dedication and commitment that fatherhood's all about. so we appreciate all of you. i don't want to get in the way of the food. thank you for participating. hope you zpwrice a good time. and to all the father's out there, happy father's day. all right? [applause]

breed of cat that scott boras continues to tell us about, by all accounts, he should be getting what evan longoria can get. i don't think he is that good. >> bob: could be a double play ball off the bat of hernandez and he baez it. anderson with great speed from that left side of the box. brings did nothing wrong there on the fielder's choice. >> rob: we saw the takeout yesterday by gonzalez helping us to win the ballgame. right now, great hustle down the line. >> bob: one more exclamation point on the longoria story, they signed themh tim to 17.5 six-year deal which could be world -- that 17.5, that's an area that many feel that the nationals and scott boras may end up in, at least in that neighborhood between 15 and 20 million for stephen strasburg, not 40 or 50. >> i don't know how you can equate a guy who throws once every five days to a kid that plays a gold glove third base and wins rookie of the year and did what he did for his ball club last year and say, my guy's better than that. he is a pitcher. >> bob: agreed. >> rob: you can't compare an everyday guy to a pitcher and can't at

n >> two, tyreke evans and stephen curry. evans has an nba body.ak he's ready to take contact righ, now. a very smart player. curry, a guy with that kind ofta scoring ability will be find in the nba. he's going to be a gem. if he goes to the right system, which i think he almost any of the teams up top need his scoring. >> how about the guy who you know is going to go high who makes you nervous?ou ou i'm concerned about ricky rubio. some of the things you do on the film, he won't get away with a lot of that stuff against nba defenders. i don't like the mechanics of his stroke.nba. he's got improve.tr physically can he compete at that level? there's no doubt he can runev team. he's got the knowledge. but will he be good enough to e got as a two or three, a points guard? that's the kind of guy you seed having a potentially hall of fame career. >> finally, griffin will go g number one. just how good do you think thiso guy will be? >> he's going to be a sdtud rigt off the bat. he's going to play a ton ofhe minutes immediately. he

evans revere and others have been involved in this process during the clinton administration. there been several high-level on voice and yet this process leads us only to the point where we got at the end of the bush administration of the phrase and then beginning a process of disablement. in spite of the fact that all of the things the north has thus far have been put on the table, peace treaty, normalization, economic and energy assistance, and negative security insurance in the 2005 joint statement which says the united states will not attack north korea with nuclear conventional weapons. so what security was driving their need for nuclear weapons, the negative security insurance and everything that came with the political and material incentives should at least offer them enough of an incentive to push harder for word on the process yet in our negotiations they continue to falter when we got to the most crucial moments. >> thanks. >> if i might, senator, without taking issue at all what port inspections and other thing is, i think we really have to keep our eye on the plut

evan thomas said this. "reagan was all about america, and you talk about it. obama is, we are above that now. we are not just parochial, chauvinistic, or provincial. we stand for something. i mean, in a way, obama a standing above the country and above the world. he is sort of god." we will come back to the god part in just a minute. it is difficult to stead -- said it aside. let's look at the rest of what he said. he said president obama is standing above our country, above the world. he is telling us the step that president reagan did to defend the country, no matter where he went, is provincial, parochial, and chauvinistic. we are better and more sophisticated than that, he seems to think. if this was just "newsweek" making this point, we get all ignore it. but listen to this line from obama's on speech last week. he said any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. in other words, if we want to succeed, we have to stop believing and acting as though america is in fact the best nation on earth. compromise is

[cheering and applause] you hate to see evan longoria bat when it could have been a one, two, three.grand slam flex pan. five plans to choose from. go to the website for more information. >> bob: we'd love to see the nats grab this final game. it would make the weekend for our manager better. manny is shaken by the willingham news from yesterday. and all the news of his job status. it can't be easy being asked about that. that's a good man in that dugout, a good baseball person. >> rob: he's a stand up man. >> bob: he's got one going today. 0-2. make sure you keep that baby down. >> rob: i wish i was younger. i would love to play for manny acta. outstanding man, even better manager. i'd love to be the one to walk into the press briefing and say what do you think of the guy in your bullpen? >> bob: look at that pitch. way outside. tavarez takes care of longoria. it will be dukes, patterson and gonzalez in the 4-4 game.  >>> nationals will have f six, seven up in the 8th. elijah dukes has had a lot to do with the success of the offense today. >> bob: this kid is some kind o

close but misses. 1-2 with even evan longoria coming. >> rob: you can turn two here. longoria is not a speedster either. >> bob: people say, what does it matter if the guy at 2nd isn't fast? >> rob: it's going to take lodge tore get to 2nd base, take longer to get the ball to 2nd and concentrating on getting the double play. >> bob: up the mid it will first time. three consecutive hits now in the series. >> rob: the fact longoria has nursing a hamstring the last few weeks. that helps also. >> bob: he's been trotting the 1 1st base trying to get that warmed up. 2- 0. >> rob: we talked about this after the 2nd inning. detwiler has to finish off the pitches and try to throw it through josh bard. when he starts falling towards 1 st base, he's not following through. when you're stepping across your body, your arms are trailing too far behind to throw stris. >> bob: pitch up. far enouway. couldn't reach it. it's 2-1. longoria got all 28 first place votes for rookie of the year lastear. >> bob: went to the all-ar game -- runner going to not even a throw. the ball was called

evan longoria coming up. will manny stay with the veteran left hander here? not many get to go to the all- star game apt world series as a rookie. >> rob: bob, there is your answer. they're going to walk longoria and pitch to peqa. the fans are going crazy, moo. >> bob: that's about the only way that ron villone ever walks anybody. >> rob: 19 homeruns by carlos peqa this year. >> bob: he has been pretty much all or nothing this year, came in batting .229 with 78 strikeouts, the second most in the american league. manny acta runs out and he is going to call his infield in and will go over this. that's a big out. coming up, how the nats were able to get to matt garza early, 3 runs on four hits, 1st inning. craig stammen did well against the bats, not so well against the speed. tomorrow, jordan zimmerman back in the line-up. the game starts at 6:05 but we cannot join you live until 7:05. >> rob: 13 against righties, 6 against lefty for peqa this year. >> bob: shift is on. zimmerman is the only defender on the third base side. anderson hernandez is in a very inte

the men who -- the man who led off the inning with a base hit evan longoria will bat again.  >> bob: longoria singled to lead off this inning, his only hit of this series. in the last three innings, the rays have outhit the nationals 8-0. the last nats hit, a single by guzman with nobody out in the third.  >> bob: minnesota got a s- out from anthony schwarz ack to beat the cubs at wrigley today. st. louis won in cleveland, 3- 1. mets beat the yankees 6-2. those are the finals in so far from interleague play. the american league who let the national league, 31 wins to 25 through last night.  >> bob: last night star stretch of 12 very difficult interleague games against the upper echelon of the a.l. east. tampa bay, new york, toronto and boston. then a series to follow at baltimore. that ball into left. dukes is back. can't get it up against the wall. hernandez scores. upton scores. it's 8-2. >> rob: this is just a hanging breaking ball by colome. when you drop down to try to help the ball, sometimes it flattens out. it helps longoria, doesn

[cheering and applause] gonzalez interesting, he only hit 1.73 last year with the yankees in 28 games before they sent him down. 250 at berry. july 31st they got him. he came up and hit .347 for the nats. here's josh bard with two great swings. one

respecting his speed, evan longoria plays even with the bag at third as does carlos peqa, 120 feet across >> rob: any way you can right here, get on base. that will push the bunt by the pitcher, lefty falling towards first and righty towards first. >> bob: this will be an interesting pitch. that will be a two-hopper right after the shortstop brignac. ,

and evan longoria never could get the handle on it. i don't know why he would peak at nick johnson, now they've given the nats a chance to get back in this game with adam dunn coming up. but he won't be facing the right-hander. >> rob: well, you can't take your eye off the ball. you saw him there. he peaked at nick. trying to sneak a peak at nick and it cost him and error. >> bob: i think that's a classic example of making a play more complicated than it was because the nats are down by five and nick johnson is not going anywhere. so the nats get a break. how far can you see? at pnc, taking the long view is how we help you take the right path. even to change it when conditions demand. keeping you on the road to achieving your goals. it's something we've been doing for over 150 years. let our strength and stability be the basis for yours. pnc. leading the way. >> bob: andy sonnanstine solid night. only one walk and five strikeouts. at one point he retired 15 consecutive nats from the third through the 7th. lefty, lefty match-up. a

evan longoria struggling for tampa bay. remember in april, a .369 batting average? things have changed since then. .296 in may. he's yet to get a hit this month. his current streak of 18 at-bats without a hit is the longest drought of his career. mariners and orioles in baltimore as we continue to swing around the majors. that's jorse lopez, the second home run of the game, eighth of the year, the ms win it, ichiro suzuki on a 14-game hitting streak, against the orioles. seattle has won six of its last seven, hernandez gets the win, 4-0 in his career at camden yards, and the ms win it 4-1. let's go to fenway. tying run on second, top nine, papelbon, posada. flies out to left. and that is that. papelbon with the save, the red sox have beaten the yankees seven times this season without a loss, eight times overall in a row dating back to last season, 6-5 is your final, papelbon with 15 saves on the season. you see all the home runs, youkilis goes yard, so does lowell, teixeira a big night, damon and posada also with home runs. royals and indians in cleveland, that's gi

we had a great workout there, six great point guards, tyreke evan, jonny flynn, guys like that. great chance for me to show my skills and why they should pick me over those other guys and things like that. it was fun. i think i liked the situations they have there. you know, a chance to turn that team around. like i said, any team that i go to, i'll try the make nose of that opportunity. >> why do you think you're ready to contribute next season? >> just my basketball i.q. and the way i can shoot the ball. i think that will definitely help spread the offense out for an nba team. my point guard skills are developing as we speak. so with that and just being able to pick things up quickly and my nature, i think i can definitely be productive on the next level next year. >> chad ford's latest mock draft version 6.1, not a whole lot has changed from 1 to 3, but he's now got jonny flynn in the top ten going to milwaukee, knocking out brandon jennings, who has fall on the atlanta at number 19. there you see stephen curry sitting at six with the t-wolves. lookie here, looking live at ma

" moderates in congress feel health-care push pickup susan collins of maine and democratic senator evan by of indiana -- byron york, his column "digging in for obama's healthcare aventis." debbie joins us from alabama. good morning. caller: could morning, steve. a 50% of the american people are happy with their health care? they're asking the wrong question. they are happy they have health care, but as soon as they are sick -- i am a registered nurse, and when they come into the hospital, they do not want to pay their bills, the insurance companies. the second thing i want to say about a public health plan, is the republicans -- this guy who owned -- the thing he is trying to tell the american people is you do not want to have government between you, the patient, and the doctor. well, what we have right now is the insurance company between us, the patient, and the doctor. if you have private insurance, sometimes it takes weeks just to get approval from the private insurance company to run a test to even diagnose you. so we are having to guess on a diagnosis because we do not approve the

understanding that joe smith, who works for one company, has good health care and his neighbor, mary evans, who works at another company, doesn't have any health insurance at all. what sense is that? so i think as a nation we are coming to understand that all of our people are entitled to health care as a right of being americans and the challenge that we face is how do we do it in a cost-effffective way? in that regard, i think -- and i speak, obviously, just for myself here -- that the evidence is overwhelming that we must end the private insurance domination of health care in our country and move toward a publicly funded single-payer medicare for all approach. and i think the evidence is overwhelming that if you want universal, comprehensive, quality health care for all people, that is the only way actually that you can do it. our current private health insurance system is the most costly, wasteful, complicated, and bureaucratic in the world. just today -- not yesterday, just today. spoke to an i had who has a law degree. very smart guy. his wife has a ph.d. and they went through the fe

our first call from allentown, evan. good morning to you, with tom ridge. caller: my question was with regret -- with regard to north korea. either safeguards in place to put it in effect individual similarities during a national emergency -- individual civil liberties during a national emergency? guest: absolutely. it is one of the challenges we will always have in this country, combating any kind of emergency, balancing the need to make sure that we protect the freedoms and liberties at the same time we are responding to the crisis. that was the balance that i think we walked deftly, and frankly, i think the one possible blemish of not figuring out how to provide due process, some form of due process to the people at guantanamo, that we handled very well during the past four or five years in the post-9/11 world. host: ann is on the phone from kansas. caller: i am from kansas, where we have had quite a few illegal aliens. i lost my job, i have been run off the road by an illegal alien driving a foundation truck. i want to know why, when the bush administra

then there was mervin, melvin evans, victor frazier and all who have served as resident commissioners from puerto rico as well as their heritage who are also caribbean americans and who serve today and have served in the past in this body. many more of our nation's leaders trace their roots to the caribbean such as our former secretary of state, colin powell, attorney general, eric holder, assistant secretary of the exterior designee and supreme court nominee, sonia sotomayor. but there are many others. we may look back as far as the period to the 1900's', to the 1920's, which marked the initiation of mass labor migration from the caribbean to the united states and the formation of the first large caribbean communities here in this country. we should not forget world war i, when the recruitment of labor from the caribbean became empirtive, more than 100,000 caribbean laborers were recruited for agricultural and tedious jobs as par as -- part of war laborers. we should acknowledge the caribbean men and women who served our country and those who continue to serve this country overseas i

to america -- we have a tendency in this country going back to william randolph hearst -- my friend evan thomas is writing a book about the spanish-american war, eerily resonant where you have a culture in which the march to war becomes a consuming drum of -- drama. journalists are absolutely susceptible to that. a man named chris hedges wrote a book, war is a force that gives us meeting. talking about how it is a construct in which everyone has a role and can play out a certain drama. fine if you're sitting in new york or washington making editorial decisions. those doing the fighting, those who are victims of the violence that is unleashed have a different view, understandably. so the questions you raise are things we think about all the time. and the goal has to be to learn from the iraq experience so that we do a better job next time, which is not to say that the next time going to war won't be the right thing. the correct answer is not always not projecting force. but we are a fallible and human institution like any other in the media, and i think if we tried to pretend to be godlik

lane evans, who worked so hard for veterans during his whole career. our thoughts are with him as he faces his disease. mr. hare was on our committee. he had to go off this year, but we miss him greatly. he's one of the strongest leaders for veterans in our nation. i yield to him as much time as he may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. hare -- excuse me, from illinois, is recognized. mr. hare: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong support of h.r. 1016, the veterans health care budget reform and transparency act of 2009. let me thank chairman bob filner for introducing this important legislation. in the 110th congress we gave the v.a. its largest funding increase in 77 years and we did it on time. but sadly punctual v.a. funding has not always been the case. the v.a. received its annual funding for health care programs late in the last 19 of 22 years. this record of tardiness is deplorable. with the ongoing wars in iraq and afghanistan, the time to fix this broken system is now. late fundi

patients who were touched by their care including a set of preventive measures, including a set of evansased process and especially outcome and patient experience measures for the common chronic diseases that account for most medicare costs and at the same time medicare started tracking the overall spending for patients in the inthese programs and the deal was they could document improvements in a number of these dimensions of important patient quality of care and if medicare saw a slowdown in the growth trend well, they could get back some of those savings and at this point i think the latest results are that just about all of them have significantly improved quality and about half have been able to get cost spending trends down by more than 2 percentage points per year so that's pretty significant especially adding up over time and the savings seem to be getting larger and more substantial as time goes on and more steps along these lines can be implemented and reinforced by the payment system reforms. key elements here are getting multiple stakeholders involved, having a process, a tru
