y, has gotten much worse since the late 60s. tionfamily, dysfunctional family. the mother who has known and beound and there are 5 kids. >> host: we will leave it on those 2 points. sernardine dohrn, the second fint was about the family. your center at northwestern? >> guest: children need families that are strong and sustained and consistent, where the adults hive a life of both work and art and intellectual challenge. i don't think that every family pleds a man but every family needs more than one person. iu need a team of people to raise a single child. you need a massive effort to invest in our common future. one of the things that has kept us paralyzed in the last 30-year is has been teachers blaming parents, parents blaming teachers, everybody blaming the we kids. i am wary, not because we don't have problems, because we do, we have problems with teachers and their kids. i don't think it helps us to point fingers and a system like this. poery country that is an industrialized country, every funtry in the world has building blocks that support families and

each state has a local hero. y

we need to take up a prescription in washington that says every american has to have x y z coverage. what we need to do is provide a field of choice for people in terms of basic coverage. then we build of -- upon that and create competition and choice for people so they can choose what they can afford and what their family needs. right now the problem is too many people in this country are going without insurance because it costs too much. it costs too much, number one, because the government is in the game of price fixing. we have a lot of cost shifting going on so it is being borne by the business is out there and the individuals who have to pay themselves, not the government. but also we have a situation where states and the federal government has said we are going to continue to raise the requirements of what a plan should look like. if we say, look, we've got to make sure people and not fearful of losing their life savings. think about it, if there is a father who has to spend his life savings trying to cure his sons of cancer, we can't let that individual do that and go into ba

y, scorceor z. this theocracy has basically lost any last shred of legitimacy that it could have claimed by virtue of the final positioning of the supreme leader, the fact of the past has come off and the regime is pretty much moving into the direction of becoming a complete police state and dictatorship. it respective of whether it is religious or not religious, it is the ultimate nature. fluctuations may exist, as i said in my opening statement earlier, depending again on sustenance or not. in terms of the collective, grass-roots movement, it is moving, as i'm speaking to you today, more and more in terms of participation. that is the natural conclusion of the effect of people moving away from the regime had been lost completely its legitimacy. that is to be anticipated. >> i am just full of questions today. >> you won't let go, will you? >> i'm wondering if you could talk about the struggle of the religious clerics, and the whole struggle of rafsanjani, and the arrest of his family. do you think that perhaps we have not heard much from rafsanjani is a signal that perhaps he is getting support? we

health care experts and officials from every single other country in the world that has, you know, a quantity take y and equal take thively better healt -- qualitatively better health care than we have? guest: that's a great question. i have spent time on the swiss plan, which is probably one of the most effective in the world. they spend 11% of their g.d.p. they have health care equivalent to us. everybody over there is on a plan. but they have options. you see all sorts of health insurance innovation from them. let me comment about your nasal medication. we're still the only place in the world where you have a true competitive market in pharmaceuticals. and so you get a prescription for it. the economic choice is you could have taken an over-the-counter now and effective had 80% of the same effect or bought a generic steroid nasal inhaler at about 1/3 the cost. point is -- and i don't know of your individual situation. but if you have insurance coverage, we don't -- in terms of your drugs, you don't make as good of a choice. but if you have personal coverage, what has is people who don't have the

but holtson has gotten ahead in the count, 2-0. all thiser strategy won't make y difference if you can't make him swing the bat. >> 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position tonight. holtson the only hit with runners in scoring position. that's double. >> >> the freshman from maryland. ahead, 3-0. >> he's already had one walkoff walk here. a walk, walk, hit batter and a walk. green light or no? >> take the two strikes. >> okay. >> >> that was close. >> generous. >> yes. >> you don't think most guys are holding their breath right here? >> that whole glove is off the plate. >> could have been high, could have been outside. 3-1. >> i'll bet you keuchel wasn't breathing the whole pitch. lined right at the shortstop. has a chance for two. one, double-play! >> hits the ball right on the money. carver, the shortstop knocked it down. stayed with it. went to bigham, and made the return throw with the double-play, and they get out with the bases loaded jam. how about that. >> wow, you saw here on espnews. the exciting conclusion in the bottom of the ninth as they end up goin

newer in the senate or state legislators like me navigating the rock y waters of a tricky political climate. i know over time he has guided every one of my political heroes including our former president. al has given us through the d.l.c. a consistently invaluable repository of ideas for the laboratory of the 50 states. through the national conversation, the new d.l.c. fellows program, or simply through the d.l. c-webb site he invites us in and sends us out armed with ideas that strengthen our communities, keep or families safe, implement fiscal discipline, educate our children, and spur on economic development. through the decade i have known him, just one small chapter, i know, i have witnessed the genius of his short and long-term vision, a powerful reminder of the capacity of within person to impact systemic change. with his magnetic intensity, he is constantly seeking and finding new challenges, push being the fronts here a little further. now, of course, the responsibility is ours to meet his challenge, the tremendous challenge of al from's move beyond politics to build and enhance a culture of citizenship a

y right-handers. so not a significant differene in any of those departments, right or left handed against hernandez. 3-0 counts. see if he hashere for a strike, as he moved it in a little bit. 3-1. >> jim: the number for livan hernandez. .184 with runners in scoring position, that's an amazing number. that is how, as you said, high batting average, been able to get out of trouble. >> gary: 3-1 count. outfield deep, very deep with the infield in. 3-# delivery, and jones will -- 3-1 delivery, and jones will foul it back. the other back yards number that hernandez has that stays trueo what jim was talking about is with runners on base, hitters are .240 against him. when the baits are empty, they are -- bases are empty, it's .338.  jim: we've seen a 89-mile n hour fastball tonight until that pitch, 3-1 count. good hitter. there are the numbers you're talking about. a huge difference. any time you get that kind of swing, this tells me this is a veteran guy that can have -- subtract a little, try to get you out front. and when it lulls you to slee, try to throw one by you. this w

y profession. as a former member of congress who had a former community college, 2 of them, in his district, i cannot tell you how important this is. it has not gotten the attention of the 4 year institutions but it is a competitive advantage for the united states, the community college system is essential and we are going to be outlining a series of things we are going to do to fund the growth of the community colleges that are busting around. i talked to a number of state senators, community colleges to not get the resources of 4 year institutions, but nearly 50% of all people who go to post high school education go to 2 year institutions. we do what we are supposed to do at the public universities and state universities. this has not gotten the attention in a community college system, there will be major resource infusion but also reforms and goals driven. as part of an overall economic strategy and upgrading of american workers and employees skills if they choose from this profession to that profession, we have an educational infrastructure to do that. in addition to that, it will be another announcement by the president on early lear

fiscal -- y m my suspicious that they're giving us live service on the issue of this -- why am i suspicious that they're giving us lip service about this. the president of the united states has claimed that they will exercise fiscal discipline out there because of the implementation -- the implications, you will pay for what you do around here. this is hypocrisy. this is inconsistent with everything that has happened, with the spending and the budget. they are putting holes in paygo loss. -- laws. the presidency has passed -- a democratically controlled, have passed 10 bills that have affected the paygo that are on the books, for $882 billion, and if you throw in the things that they were not able to pass, because we said, that is too much, over one trillion dollars, of instances where this congress, and this president have asked for, and issues that would go around the rules that we already have, that is why this is swiss cheese. we have a disingenuous statement from the administration that they are suddenly for this. this already exists but we cannot enforce this around here. they say that they are for this, they have gained their own proposal. they say that [inaudible] --

y? >> i apologize. no, kidding. [laughter] because i think status test and i wrote that 10 of 15 years ago and frankly it has gone so much worse than it is time to believe that the will be given has reduce education which is always about opening doors and opening mines and possibilities, opening new missions in new horizons, we have reduced to match to the taking of a single conative task that is culturally biased, that narrows the correct them and we have gone to a point after eight years of falling this regimen pretty viciously, we have gone to a point where it is only -- the only kids to have access to music, sports and debate in the arts and science are kids who either live and privilege suburbs are going to private schools, kids in the city are increasingly being denied that opportunity and that's the result of a singular obsession with a silly standardize test. so the question i asked about senate nice test in the book and ask all my life is said teacher, who benefits, who doesn't benefit, the province and doesn't, and frankly i think the standardized tests are a mistake and there are a mistake because of our

has room. he's got it. murphy is retired. he's 0-3 in the ballgame. beltran is coming up. was reached on an error and grounded out. we have an e-mail question from y. why do you think pitchers have tommy john surgeries so earlyn their careers? >> jim: first of all, they have mris, and number 2, it works. it's a surgery when you have e ligament shredded, and i've never seen the absolute numbe. we hear the guys that have come back, looking at one right here. lots of guys come back, but -- [ indiscernible ] >> gary: if she happens why it happens early, if you have that kind of injury, you're either going to get it taken care of or you're not going to pitch. that's why it has to be done when it's discovered. that to left center field, that's going to fall in. runner's going to go to third. as cora had to wait to make sure, but once he saw it drop in, he took off. and now the mets have runnerst first and third for the first time in the ball game. >> jim: an awfully good pitch. you get an idea why beltran ia terrific player. that was the pitcher's pitch. and again, if your approach is you're going to pull it, you'e goal t

has been reinforced many times by congress. that is a priority of mine. i would like to see us have as much success in universal service and communications over the next 75 y

y profession. as a former member of commerce -- as a former member of congress who had two community colleges in his district, i cannot tell you how important this is. that has not gotten the full attention of the four-year institutions, but it is a competitive advantage to the united states. the community college system is essential, and we will outline a series of things to fund the growth of the community colleges. i have talked with a number of state senators. the community colleges do not get the resources of the four- year institutions, but nearly 50% of all the people who go through post high-school institutions go to two-year institutions. we all do what we're supposed to do it at the state universities. this has not gotten the attention. the community college system will have a major resource infusion and also reforms and goals driven as part of the overall economic strategy in the upgrading of american workers and employees skills so if they choose to go from this profession to another profession, we have the infrastructure to do that. in addition, there will be another announcement by the president on early learning and fulfillment of his campaign

that's y republicans proposed a series of reforms to lower cost and improve access without -- without -- destroying what people like about our current health care system. president obama has said that he's open to some of the ideas republicans have put forward. such as the need to reform our medical liability laws to discourage junk lawsuits and the need to encourage wellness and prevention programs that have proven to be effective in cutting costs and improving care. in fact, during a speech last week to the american medical association the president discussed one particular wellness and prevention program at the safe way and market chain which dramatically cut that company's health care costs and employee premiums. the president said he would be open to helping businesses across the nation adopt wellness and prevention programs like the safeway plan yet the bill the democrats are trying to rush through the senate would actually ban this program from being copied and implemented by other companies. that makes absolutely no sense, madam president. all last week we heard eye popping cost estimates for health care proposals coming out of capitol hill, proposals that wouldn'
