pete. the league-leading hitting tampa bay. this will be interesting with the yankees looming next week. i don't know if it saved the home stand but it sure left a better taste in everybody's mouth last night. >> rob: first and foremost, nice to have you back, buddy. >> bob: thank you, sir. >> rob: you have the american league east coming up. that's not going to be easy. you have to have well pitched starts from our rotation. john la man had a great start and the bullpen gave those guys the opportunity to come back. you see hernandez with a huge hit on a tough curve ball, a 67 mile-per-hour curve ball. zimmerman got the fielder's choice. they threw the ball away, we scored two runs and took the lead. it was a fabulous game, bob, and it was a heck of a way to end the home stand. the next couple of weeks, this is going to be a test for this ball club. >> bob: rob's test is well taken. when you have a well pitched game, a ground ball, a hustle here and there makes a heck of a difference. let's talk about the bullpen, another reaso

i want to thank john corner and pete sessions for having been such gracious hosts.nt to thank governor pay lynn and todd for coming tonight and for being part of this -- governor palin. [cheers and applause] >> i came in with sarah and todd. we came to the bottom of the steps over here. john mccain was there very gracious,ly welcoming us. i have to tell you. despite every effort of the elite media to prop up joe biden and pretend he actually knows what he's doing, i felt looking at john mccain and sarah pail lynn this country would have been amazingly better off had they been in the white house. [cheers and applause] >> i also want to say that i think on behalf of both campaign committees that john voice has given you your battle cry for the next year and a half. and i say this having once with haley barber and bob doll crisscrossed the country when we've been out of power for 40 years and people thought we were absolutely out of our minds to suggest we could actually win a majority. i think the phrase "do not tell me it can't be done" is about as good a way to star

and pete sessions, an outstanding job at the nrcc and finally, i want to thank probably the best ideaestions. sometimes on a virtually hourly basis. our speaker tonight, newt gingrich. thanks for being with us, newt. as jon voight indicated this new administration has got a very, very radical agenda. it's been pushing hard and we've been pushing back. they may have the numbers but we've had some successes we can be proud of. for example, a couple of weeks ago, they came up to capitol hill saying they wanted to transfer terrorists from guantanamo. well, i'll tell you something, there's a better place for those terrorists than virginia or kentucky or kansas. it's right where they are in a cell in guantanamo. let me tell you something else, the administration got the message when 90 senators agreed with us on the senate floor. they've been real busy at the white house, the same folks who brought you the department of motor vehicles now want to make your vehicles. we've watched them take over banks, insurance companies, car companies, and now as jon voight indicated they're interested in

if i said all of you in your listening audience, january 1, 2010, your health insurance and and pete stark is bringing you a new plan. there would be a million people ready to mail my height to the capital before. they like what they have. i like medicare. people like lacrosse. -- people like blue cross. if you like what you have, you can keep it. for those people who are afraid they will get laid-off, or the chrysler employees, when they go bankrupt and wipe out their plan, they are the ones who will benefit in the sense that they can now go and get a plan, not an individual plan that may have exemptions or pre-existing conditions or price them out of the market if there is a history of high blood pressure, that will be gone. they will be go when to get a group rate basically of a plan that will provide in benefits they cannot lose. >> if people like what they have and they will keep it, this -- will this bill to -- will this bill do anything to make the coverage better or less expensive? >> we hope so. that is through the public plan. if the rates are set, we will force the competi

this week on our program, "newsmakers," representative pete stark of california is one of the authors of the health care draft that the democrats announced yesterday. and he talks about whether new taxes are needed to pay for the health plan. >> i would say there's no consensus. nobody likes to raise taxes. so that i would be misleading you if i said there's going to be a vat or -- there will be i'm quite sure at least i would favor this an increase for people making more than $250,000 a year. i would suggest that's the president's suggestion. we're going to adopt that, i'm pretty sure. >> an income tax increase? >> i think so. >> but other than that, i suppose, which i think is maybe fair to say was something on the agenda irrespective of health care. is it your goal and do you think it's attainable, to finance the bill at the end of the process without additional taxes? >> i don't know. i don't know. >> you can see the entire interview with representative pete stark on "newsmakers" sunday, tomorrow morning at 10:00 and also 6:00 p.m. on c-span. also, more regarding the discussion on

[laughter] dan brown, he's coming out after i am and he's thinking if you have some extra covers.

said to you, all of you and your listening audience, january 1, 2010, your health insurance ends, pete starks is going to bring you a new plan, eight million people would be out here on the mall ready to nail my hide to the capitol door. people like medicare or blue cross, they'll stay where they are. for the vast majority, as the president said if you like what you have, you can keep it. for those people afraid they're going to get laid off, the chrysler employees if chrysler goes bankrupt and you wipe out the plan, they're the ones who will benefit in the sense that they can now go and get a plan, not an individual plan that may have exemptions or preexisting conditions and may price them out of the market if they're -- if there's a history of high blood pressure, that'll be gone. they'll be able to go in and get a group rate and a plan that will provide them benefits they can't lose. >> does the bill do anything to make insurance, if people like what they have and want to keep it, will the bill do anything to make the coverage better or less expensive? >> i hope so. at the rates we

the storyçç is obviously not d to pete lopez, it is a nationwide tragedy that a lot of us feel veryng that should notç have happened and can be corrected. it is a story certainly has echoed through out west virginia nearly anna nationwide basis, nearly 2,000 dealerships that are closed threat america, 100,000 jobs at risk. thoseç are not unfamiliar figus in these days but nevertheless 100,000 people potentially at a fork were probably out of work is on happy so we have to do better. we can save some of these jobs and we can help some of these committees and we have an obligation to do that. let me be very clearç -- i honestly don't believe that companies should be allowed to take taxpayer funds for a bailout of and then leave it to local dealers and their customers to fend for themselves with no real plan, no real motives, no real help. is just plain wrong. you don't do that. so we are talking about dealers who invested everything they have, many who have been added for many many decades, a generational thing with it families some of whom are here today, you know, they are just l

i spoke with pete lopez, who is here with us. he is not a dealer from -- he is an autodealer from west virginia, it's not the largest city in the world but it's one of the finest and right in rural west virginia and just sort of sets up the whole tone of this. and he learn that had his contract had been terminated. you know, with chrysler. so obviously he was very concerned about that. we talked on the telephone, and he was, you know, a lot of anxiety and concern and worry about his people, and in a sense in a flash his whole life's work probably of some 30 years or so of taking care of people and servicing cars and selling cars, both chrysler and general motors, you know, all of a sudden it appeared to be very much in jeopardy. so that's the way he felt. but then compound that, a few days later mr. lopez learn that had g.m. was also going to terminate their franchise with him putting more of his workers at risk. the story is obviously not held to pete lopez. it's a nationwide tragedy. that a lot of us feel very strongly about, s

pete stark agrees the progress rapidly another 35% of the health i.t. because we would tie physicians to their hospitals and have systems integrated but that's another amendment. the whole point is we are looking at it from washington looking out and what i'm trying to do is get us to look at it for now in the country and look in. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator mikulski. >> let's go to the actual amendment, not what a aspect of it does or may be an interesting idea or whenever. if you go to the front page of the colburn amendment, it says strike subtitle be of title to and insert the following. so he strikes the entire section with a title deed which goes to the patient safety research center, community health teams, trauma system reform and others and eliminates the agency with health research quality so that is what this amendment does. it strikes and inserts essentially an i.t. package. so that's number one. i think that our quality section had a lot of work and it should stand. second, during the course of the deliberations are held six hear

pete, outside tropicana field west of downtown st. peters berg. we go to the bottom of the 8th 8th. do we have a defining moment in this game? >> rob: the defining moment was the walk here. kapler gets an inside curveball, hits his bat, you know the rest. >> bob: he hit that ball maybe 330 possibly less. >> rob: the dimension would have been less. they cut it in to make a smaller field. remember jack measurety stadium in san diego? they put a fence inside the brick fence. you had to hit a ton to get it out of the field. they moved it in, cut off the an -- the end to have corner action. >> bob: this ball is drilled to left center by pena. elijah dukes will pick it up. that's the lead run here in the 8th inning. [cheering and applause] in this series, the nationals have not scored an earned run after the 4 4th inning. >> bob: fastball up in the zone. second ball carlos pena hit hard this series. he hit a home run earlier in the series. he's been kind of quiet with a couple of bunt hits. >> bob: 5-11 in the series with two bunt hits. there's a lot of pressure on the nats bullpen. the n

he realizes that pete cantus become -- -- that he cannot just become a factor in it. this kind of huge thing that goes on in washington where people like john mccain come out and criticize him for it. it has led to unnecessary wars and iraq, which have albrecht the budget for some time. host: you write, barack obama has been able to make his actions live up to his words. healthcare is being gunned to death. he has done nothing to pass card check provisions, he has capitulated uncap and trade from the budget outline. next call is from maryland. good morning. caller: basically, we have the senate and the executive and the judiciary. i don't think anyone thinks obama is responsible. we have the speaker of the house that is not holding forth for the democratic body. guest: i am critical of these other bodies. one of the sad things is tell little constructive support the president is getting from the other parts of the government, from the democratic party. we have elected this genius, now we will sit back and watch while he solves everything. that is an infantile way of f

. >> rob: pete rose was a switch hitter. probably had 280 hits one year. i think -- >> johnny: let's get him on the cell phone. >> rob: i think carp started when frank howard was still playing. >> johnny: i was in fifth grade when i heard bob do a game. i loved him. it was great. in miami florida. >> rob: was that the toughest three years of your life? >> johnny: toughest three of my life. ryan hanigan, reds' catcher. 30 hits, 95 at bats. in last night's ballgame, 1-4 strike out. once again, the nationals can't get them to light up tonight, second straight night. >> rob: in the minor leagues one year, he threw out more than 40% -- >> rob: was young a switch hitter? >> johnny: could have been. >> rob: that's a good guess. >> johnny: i do believe he might have been. right off the top of my head of course. >> rob: i say that to bob all the time. you know our guys in the truck have the media guys. dangerous thing. >> johnny: the out is 1-4. two down now. when it comes to ticket, you deserve major league service. go to the official fan to fan marketplace. after

pete from indian nations. the point i would like to ask -- >> i think it is on. just speak quietly. >> can we say it will not go down further, but we continue to go out differently? or do we have -- the downside taken out, for example, the question of pakistan and terrorist relationships, there is a feeling the u.s. would be tanked. it is a question of time when an attack will happen. it is not a question of if, it is the question of when. there is a great deal, on opposite sides of the nuclear issue, lastly, the question of iran. how significant is iran going to claim u.s./india relations? many people believe there is no other way but confrontation with iran to continue. >> i am happy to say -- i think is the bottom protected? that is a great question. mainly for the first reason, if or when there is another attack in india, there will be a natural tendency to say the u.s. is pakistan's patron. partly because you asked, in the at held back in a remarkable display of self retrained which was in indiana's interest. often states do things for political reasons that

pete carroll has never been linked directly to the ceilings that's the big difference here with the allegationsected at tim floyd. >> andy, as far as the timing is going down, the ncaa -- do you get the sense that there's a possibility that because o steven fstrays, stephen strasburg, dustin ackley, ackley, donovan take it, donovan take it, jorge sanchez, wh are involved, the ncaa waited to see what was going to happen with that case at baylor. then they went in after the fact with their ncaa investigation and their allegations, that's because they can get more information through the federal authorities because these people are under oath. and they're not when they go in front of the nba. so that is one think i was told, the ncaa was waiting to see what would happen as they're working on the investigation. a little different than these other cases where they speed up the process a little more because it's just the ncaa. the interesting thing is what will happen next at usc. from what i have been told in the last couple hours, a lot of people would be very surprised in the college basketball co

pete -- pirate bay. it was a strong victory against this website. this remains one of the biggest challenges to our industry, and to all creative industries. the fact that millions of people are able to download music and other films and television shows illegally, and traders do not get paid, artists did not get paid. it has created an incredibly difficult environment to struggle through this whole time of transportation. >> what is to prevent somebody from downloading in belgium right next door and send it over to somebody in france? with the internet so international, how you stop the file sharing? >> i believe what the french legislation is meant to do is to put pressure on local isp providers. i think that is a message that is important. we really want to see isp providers take some responsibility here. you're providing a service your customers, but that should not mean they your providing an access point for them to steal. that is really what the isp providers in each territory? i think that is what we would like to see happen. there is a kind

he is more like pete rose where he is very reserved, you don't know what he is thinking but he notices everything. there is nothing that gets by manny acta. i think one of the worst things this organization could do is fire this man at this point. he is not responsible for what's happened. >> bob: and in a world we live in today, where celebrities constantly make fools of themselves by throwing tantrums and emoting in public, i find it quite refreshing. >> rob: and i was one of those tantrum thrower as a player. i was a poor loser but manny is not about that. that's not his style. i can tell you, he privately -- which is very classy and respectable and that's how you get respect in this game, he won't call guys out publicly. i hated that about managers who would do that in the papers and do it publicly, press conferences, so if you are looking for that from manny, you are not going to get it. if you are looking for that from charlie manuel, you will note get it. >> bob: nick johnson will put the nationals on top. double, double. 2-1. the nats double their runs and nick johnson having a

look at him, i was talking to mike pelfrey, i said, markakis is one of those guys, he's kind of like peteose or he's like, especially like brett, carew, where you decide, okay, do i want to give him a single to left or do i want to speed up the bat. something he did right there with the change-up and maybe a possible home run ball. >> gary: nick markakis has indeed got the bat going again. >> jim: this is the same pitch that he hit off pelfrey for the home run last night. so, again, put down. one of the keys to hitting. then the bat head gets speeded up. so markakis gets his fifth three hit ballgame. and his 21st multihit game. and, again, the orioles looking for that big two out hit which aubrey huff will try and find. he's got a single and an rbi. markakis goes, not if time. stolen base. well, we had dave trembley on, he talked about the green light. that nick markakis gets. he thinks he's got a jump. >> jim: i think one of the things they talked about, juan samuel said, hey, we're going steal more bases. so the time, slow to the plate, schneider actually throws year in and year out thr

. >> this week on c-span's "news makers," representative pete stark discusses legislation. he talks about one proposal that would establish a health insurance plan that would compete with private insurance plans. >> at the end of the day if you choose to have a plan that's dependable and affordable, you can't do it without having a public plan there. and that creates the competition for the private plans. so, yes, there will be a public plan in the bill. will people vote for it? i don't know? who wants to go home in next year's primary and say i voted against a plan that's going to provide 30,000 people in my district, most of whom are

wing state, nobody is going to do anything and the regents, even the regents who were appointed by pete wilson as i said, this chapter of the book, to them, i got one call from a regent who is has now left the board of regents. a little later, i'll get to what the politics of the university are that prevent -- that keep this unconscionable state of affairs going. so our book has 150 such courses. whole fields are just given over to indoctrination. women's studies is not an academic field, it is a political party. that doesn't mean that women's studies couldn't be an academic field. it could be, if the subject of women and their status and their history were treated in an academic way, that is, where you looked at different perspectives and evaluated the evidence. women's studies courses are indoctrination courses in radical markoid feminism which teach that america is a racist, sexist classist homophobic society and an imperialist power because they teach global feminisms now and terrorists are freedom fighters, and if they resort to unpleasant tactics, it's because the oppressors, that

second, champions with mental health parity you have paul wellstone and patrick kennedy, pete domenici and others who were willing to take ownership and see it got pushed through and obviously you see that now with the president and congress having a strong commitment. finally you see the stakeholders or the special interest and i don't use that term pejoratively it is patient at this stage advocacy groups employers that pick up the bulk of the cost and others saying we want to get this done. we want to get it solved and we will sit in a room until that happens. i am also very optimistic you will see something accomplished but there are some very big issues that need to be resolved in dealing with the underlying cost is one of them, figuring out how you pay for all of this and the other is the government plan. the our plans, the president says the few are happy with the health care you have now, you get to keep it we will not blowup the current system that we have. in fact, most people who have insurance have it through their employer and most to have insurance coverage are happy. it i

. $100 billion for a hole in the ground, for pete's sake? we have to get people to stop that nothing new clear. the nuclear people themselves talk about a new plant and say, of course, we have to make them safer. we have to get a solution to this terrible waste problem. these problems are not hurting anybody. you do not hear that kind of talk from coal. >> thank you very much. mr. guith? >> thank you. i am the vice-president for the -- the chamber is the largest business federation. we represent over 3 million businesses of every size, sector, and region. how we meet the projected increases in energy demand is a serious issue. if you factor in the desired produce as much energy as possible, the issue becomes more daunting. the most recent energy outlook predicted it would increase by 20% by 2013. non-electric grenoble's are expected to triple. this tremendous growth should be welcome and encourage. these sources will soon only account for 8% of the total portfolio. other sources must be significantly expanded. only one source of diesel power

. >> the comparisons to pistol pete mare vich. you have the similar hair.t of compare you to one of the greatest basketball players of all time in the united states? >> i don't think that i can compare with him. he was a great player in the nba. he was a scorer. i am not a scorer. i am more a point guard, you know, so it's hard to look like him because i have like 500 d.v.d.sfrom the media who give them to me and then i look like pistol, but the only thing that i look like with the hair. >> top stories coming up in our "aircheck" segment. the guys will debate phil jackson's potential plan of working part-time, just the home games. and the shocker in the world of soccer. u.s. over spain is true, believe that. >> espnews brought to you by: hey max, new car huh? max: yeah. the jetta tdi clean diesel. i got a hybrid, so you know... max: a tdi set a guinness world record of 58 miles per gallon. 58 miles per gallon!? max: but this baby hauls!! it's like (mimicking engine sounds) rrrgggnnnnn, rrrrnnnnghhhh, rrrrrghhhh... max: what's your hybrid sound like?

pete stark discusses legislation working its way through congress.

it, in effect, said -- i thought that was pete for a second. [applause] [laughter] that it could not be released. the same standard would apply if you looked at the legal memos that had previously been released. the president has the authority to declassify anything he wants. if they wanted to, at a stroke of a pen, he could declassify those documents i have asked for this afternoon. i hope he will. it needs to be out there. this is an important debate. i think the declassification of those documents would serve the public purpose and would give the american people in a broader basis on which to make a determination. >> i know, mr. vice president, many are trying to give people a better understanding of history. one of those, of course, was the run-up to war in iraq and the connections that were used to justify the argument and decision. numerous determinations of been there was no coordination between saddam hussein and al qaeda. do you still maintain that such a collaborative relationship existed, and if so, what sources of information did yo
