the jobs will be created, and all the other things in the presidential back just go by the wayside. >> he was talking about the deficit, but i thought he was talking about politics. but we know one of the things the deficits are handled is inflation. it is a terrible way to do it, because there are income and asset questions, but we never seek inflation. if you get it, other people look at it because it deals with long-term debt and a cruel way. it deals with everyone in a cruel way. what would be the good news? >> first of all, republicans have to come up with a plan. they can not just criticized democrats. i spoke to someone at a while ago and he said that we should do this. well, put your point together, make a text file, and put it on your web site. in terms of health care, they have to spread this out. this will take a lot more time to achieve these goals, and it will take some time, clearly. >> what do you think of the obama style? it has captivated much of the world and the media. it has been quite captivating. >> you mean communication? >> just a way of living. families, the l

all that seems to have gone to the wayside now. and that, i don't know, russians seem disenchanted with the u.s. is that an accurate perception? why is that? high think it is an accurate perception. and you know, remember that before '91 when the soviet union collapsed, it was a closed country. so the only way we the soviets knew about the united states and the west was from -- ready from europe. it was jammed by the soviets. so the whole idea in the soviet union was that if the state, if the authorities tell you that something's horrible, it must be good. because you never trust your any of the. and so it must have been good. and you know when freedoms came out, all of a sudden everybody was embracing them. but then freedom is a very difficult thing to do. it's a very difficult choice. a lot of personal respoibility. and russians are not used to that. russians really -- i mean the whole vertical follower that we discussed last time and when you have kremlin down, is something that has been part of russian political system. not jus

guest: now that he has conceded, i think all goes by the wayside. host: coleman moved out of the picture for now. some suggest he may have a political future. what could it be? guest: the interesting thing is, yesterday in a speech, he said by feature is a topic for another day. it could be that it runs -- he runs for governor. it does mean he is not completely ready to step out of the spotlight. he will perhaps be available down the road for some kind of political future in minnesota, i would think, based on what he said. host: let us go back to washington. the senate comes back in next week. busy july and august and a very busy fall. lots on the agenda. what does al franken's presents mean? the magic number, 60, what does it mean? guest: of first of all i believe he said yesterday they are looking at wednesday for when he will be sworn in an officially be the next senator for minnesota. it is interesting because he, throughout the campaign, said his biggest issue was health care. he made a very big deal about health care, even more so than other s

which means that the august recess deadline that the president set looks to be falling by the waysidetogether. now inside the white house, they say, it is okay. a lot of the committee work is being done. and a deadline was important. but it does shape up to be a tactical defeat at this level and the concern is that the longer this hangs out there without conclusion that it allows the momentum of opposition to only grow. something that -- that is a dangerous sign over the horizon. >> david, finally, what do you have coming up this weekend on "meet the press." >> we have an exclusive interview for the entire hour with secretary state hillary clinton. first live sunday morning interview. after logging 100,000 miles around the world. there is a lot of hot spots and a lot to talk about with her. >> david gregory, as always!3 thank you. speaking of secretary clinton, tonight she had harsh words for the ousted president of honduras, manuel zelaya, deposed in the bloody coup and today briefly crossed the border bacì& into honduras, reversed course and returned to nicaragua. mrs. clinton calle

result, many past attempts by my predecessors to end failing or unnecessary programs have gone by the wayside. nonetheless, perhaps in a triumph of hope over experience, i determined and the president agreed that given the urgency of the wars we are in, the daunting global security environment we will inhabit for decades ahead, and our country's economic problems, we simply cannot afford to move ahead with business as usual. to this end, the president's budget request cut, curtailed, or end of the number of conventional modernization programs. satellites, ground vehicles, no club dues, fighters. they were either performing poorly or access to real world needs. conversely, future oriented programs where the u.s. was relatively underinvested were exhilarated or received more funding. for example, we must sustain and continually improving our specialized strategic deterrence to ensure that ours and our allies security is always protected against nuclear-armed adversaries. in an initiative little-noticed, the president program includes money to begin a whole new generation of ballistic missile su

used to be a lot of competitors in this space but they've all sort of dribbled away by the wayside and that's leaving qualcomm all alone. it settled all of that litigation with broad com. that's good news but when you talk about softer than expected guidance like this with the rampup we saw in qualcomm shares headed into this report, that's a troubling sign and those average selling prices and what we're also seeing with cdma and wcdma's shipments being a little better than expected but again lower priced that's not good news for investors and we're seeing this company get hit hard. >> what do you extrapolate for some of the handsets? >> qualcomm a lead inner this space, we're watching the shift toward smart phones. that's important for qualcomm and also a lot of other companies out there. but nokia is out there looking at multiple chip suppliers so when you're talking about qualcomm the softness in qualcomm's business might be qualcomm only because a lot of these smart phone makers like nokia and palm and apple and research in motion and the like, all those guys are looking at multipl

but the cost bill has fallen by the wayside, and that is what congress wrestles with right now.reform by october or august because it is bankrupting the country, the current system. your thoughts? >> 9/11 was a crisis. there are true crises in the country where legislation has to happen. people use the phrase crisis loosely here. this is an issue affecting 18% of the economy, and we can take the time to get it right. to get it wrong will have a worse effect on our economy than doing nothing, frankly. we do not agree with the president and we can take our time. the way it is written right now , they have a tax on small businesses that will be escalated depending on how other provisions work. there is no cap on how much congress can raise taxes, so even though business wants health care reform, this is bad for business. the president is starting to do this. we can look at this thing and work over the august recess. they are trying to rush this. jane: so many of you saw this video and reacted, and how could you not? and suv on fire, a mother with two dead children trapped inside. t

that idea seems to be moving to the wayside. what seems to be replacing it is this idea of co-ops, around the country, nonprofit organizations that would pool their resources to help people that were not part of the plan get in on a plan. is that a good idea? do you think it is a max for the public option, as some say? >> there is where the details are going to matter. that is where they slip in a lot of junk and things that can end up being backdoor nationalization. it was a provision allowing bounty hunters in medicare where you get in a car accident, they can sue the person who causes the accident. that kind of thing -- these bills are riddled with that kind of stuff. that is why a free market solution, since it is allowing people to purchase health care around the country, is a good step in the right direction. martha: are you in favor of these co-op plans? >> it sounds nice. it has a nice ring to it. when the government is running too -- is running it, you have to make sure you still see your own dollar. martha: he would pr

on to say, many past attempts by my predecessor to end failing or unnecessary programs went by the waysideheless, i determined in a triumph of hope over experience and the president agreed -- and i want to emphasize my strong support and appreciation for the president's stand on this issue -- and the president agreed that given the urgency of the wars we're in, the daunting global security environment we will inhabit for years to come and our country's economic problems we simply cannot afford to move forward with business as usual. and then later on he talks about the f-22. air superiority in missile defense, two areas where the budget has attracted the most criticism provide case studies. let me start with the controversy over the f-22 fighter jet. we had to consider when preparing for a future potential conventional state on state conflict, what is the right mix of the most advanced fighter aircraft and other weapons to deal with the projected threats to u.s. air supremacy. for example, we now have unmanned aerial vehicles that can simultaneously perform intelligence reconnaissance, et

the idea of the stronger getting better and the weaker falling by the wayside, that's not a surprise, either. don't ignore the blind and the obvious i think is the message from this reports season. >> ben, what's your take on the report season so far? we've still got a way to go, but are we starting to figure out who the winners are going to be here? and are those the ones that you think will continue to move higher? are those the betts to make in terms of investment? >> well, if you take financial stocks as an example, if you're a bank and you can't make money in this environment with a strongly positively sloping yield curve, where the cost of short-term funds is near zero, then you shouldn't be in the game at all. so it's no surprise to me that the bank earnings have been particularly good so far in general and i think that while the yield curve remains as it is and while the credit markets remain relatively open, then i think that the banks can continue to pose roently strong numbers. i see some significant risks in 2010. unemployment is rising, incomes are falling, debt servicing

in emerging markets, in asia, even in commodities, although commodities have sort of fallen by the wayside for a short while. but any pullback in the commodity markets we see as an opportunity for the longer haul, gold especially because we think inflait flagz will come to the forefront again. for longer term investors, any shuffle will be an opportunity to buy gradually and our advice would be to buy gradually over the next 12, 16 months, spread your betts out over that period. >> vasu menon from ocbc bank thank you and sebastian, thank you, as well, head of investment strategy at axa. >> thank you. european car sales have risen for the first time in months. thanks to government scrapping incentives which boosted demand for new cars. sales are still down on the year, but the best performer was acea and fiat, then volkswagen, peugeot citron. >>> we were talking about intel. isml has followed in its step with better than expected results in the second quarter. it reported loss of 400 million euros for the period compared to an average forecast of 109 million loss. it says customers are retu

if you don't deal with that, all this other stuff's going to go by the wayside.k that's going to become apparent in the months ahead is this recovery will be a very jagged recovery. small businesses are still having a hard time getting credit. consumers are still having a hard time getting credit. the federal reserve didn't follow through on its promises to get that part of the securitization market working. so the credit markets are not fully working. they're recovering but not the kind bowant recovery we should have had. >> still pushing for free choice, a lot of these things would you call it an assault on cap -- it doesn't seem like you're -- it seems like you're erroring are trying to make a society that you like and the losers are business and the economy. >> we haven't seen this kind of war in business since the 1930s. >> forbes is a capitalist tool. tool in a good way. >> i'll accept it. >> you feel there's a broad -- >> yeah, genuine free enterprise is the greatest creator, eradicator of poverty in the history of human beings. >> you call this an assault

you can't just promote political freedom and leave economic freedom or intellectual freedom by the wayside. for example, if you want to promote political reform or political freedom and democracy, people have to have the right to air their opinions and not to be brutalized and shot at as we saw in the streets quite recently. we also went through the same cycle in ghana in 1959 when ghanaians were fed up with the dictatorship that we had and they poured into the street and the forces opened fire on them. and the point that needs to be emphasize side that it's the african people that have to determine the kind of political system and the economic system they want and they need to have the freedom of expression to say so and not to be brutalized. now as we sit here right now, the freedom of expression is guaranteed, not just by the united nations 1948 universal declaration of human rights, but even africa's own rights for peoples and human rights are part of that expression. we want africans to say what is on their mind. >> calling on the democrats line, barry from fayetteville, north carolin

markets, unless the economy improves, all of these efforts to create energy are going to go by the waysideto the investors to make sure the changes happen. tina brown, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >>> just a day after the world said good-bye to michael jackson, there are new shocking details emerging right now about the condition of jackson's body. and that's raising new questions about possible prescription drug use prior to jackson's death. 19 minutes after the hour. finally, good news for people with type 2 diabetes or at risk for diabetes. introducing new nutrisystem d, the clinically tested program for losing weight and reducing blood sugar. hi i'm mike, and i lost 100 pounds on nutrisystem d when i was first diagnosed with diabetes, that first step was more like a giant leap. till i discovered nutrisystem d. in a clinical study people on nutrisystem d lost 16 times more weight and reduced their blood sugar 5 times more than those on a hospital-directed plan. plus a1c was reduced .9%. choose from over 140 menu options, there is no counting carbs, calories or points. i lost

"the president agreed that given the urgency of the wars we're in the daunting global security we will inhant for decades to cornlings an our country's economic problems, we simply cannot afford to move ahead with business as usual." and then later on he talks about the f-22. "air superiority and missile defense, two areas where the budget has attracted the most crit cinches provide case stiewdz. let me start with the controversy over the f-22 fighter jet. we had to consider when preparing for future potential state-on-state conflict what is the right mix of the most advanced fighter aircraft and other weapons to deal with the known and projected dlets to u.s. air supremacy. for example, we now have unmanned aerial vehicles that can simultaneously perform intelligence reconnaissance and et cetera
