the road to this point has been started many times. it has never been completed. merging two such large and consequential bills has never been done before. it's been an enormous undertaking and we would not be in the position without the unflagging dedication of many senators and extremely loyal staff members. at the top of the list are chairman baucus and dodd, who've shown dedication, determination in recent weeks and months that's rarely been seen. i'm proud of every single senator's input and especially proud of the two most recent classes of senators, elected with strong mandates for progress, they've demonstrated a studious approach to our historic endeavor and an unwavering belief that all americans should be able to afford to live a healthy life. mr. president, i want to explain why we're holding this important vote at this hour. as a matter of principle that i respect, the senior senator from arkansas insisted that we vote not only after senators had the time -- only after senators had the time to read and understand this bill. senators all have now had a

has that gap narrowed at all? >> i don't think the gap has narrowed at all. when i think of health, you have to think of different factors like the social factor, the economic factor, the spiritual factor as well as the physical factor. these things haven't narrowed at all just from barack obama becoming the president. >> are any of those that you see at a crisis level? >> i think black men in general, i think we're in a crisis. i think it will take, you know, a collective -- like a collective resource of everybody in this country to help elevate black men and get us back to being human beings and treated like human beings. >> when you look at barack obama, with the exception of the smoking that we're not absolutely certain that he's completely given up, but besides that, we know that he exercises, we know that the obama family in general seems to try to put forth a healthy image, that they exercise, they try to eat healthy. do you think that that's something that other black families can try to connect with? do you think that that can make any type of differ

host: you don't think what has been spent on stimulus has help your state? caller: it has kept the public sector going. it has not created any private- sector opportunity. it has kept a fireman working. it keeps the cops working. a key to the teachers working but you cannot do that forever. if you look at the receipts to the state congressman, they are down. we do not have the sales tax year, thank god. look at the states that have a sales tax and they are going down. unemployment is up everywhere. host: if you follow issues like technology policy or telecommunication, you may not know about a show we have on c- span dedicated to that. it is called "the communicator's." this week, we talked to the chairman of the fcc. about a wide range of topics and one of that was about and indecency in television. guest: parents have concerns in this area about what their kids are exposed to per they want to make sure that they are empowered to do what they think is best for their children. i am an optimist in this area because i think with new technologies we will find s

frankly, my has been no longer has a wife wrote -- like -- my husband no longer has a life. we have been through many of its and downs. you have a spouse becomes aloof and may be hostile and you do not know why it. the diagnosis is frightening but it is also a relief. you finally understand why these things are happening. it is not you, it is not him, is an illness. i cared for route at home for over seven years and i learned, living wills, guardianships, home care, psychiatric admissions, long-term care, etc., etc. -- similar to anyone caring for someone with dementia. but there are nuances when caring for an nfl player. i also learned that our current infrastructure is based on providing services for your grandmother, not for a very large man. the staff at these facilities are afraid and intimidated. i had to buy a full-sized bed because the facilities provided a twin bed much too small for him. my husband was lucky in one way. he has a wife who is educated, who works in health care, the one who fell out the forms and has a good job with the company that offers excellent h

the television has become a laptop, which has become the ipod. it is all integrated, but we have not educated power in the parents on how to raise their children in this digital age. chairman genachowski also feels passionately about this. we are going to move forward to encourage technology that is out there and help educate the parents to know, we need better education and better technology so that the next generation of children will have parents who are empowered to let them watch what they want and not watch what they should not be watching. >> city see it as more of an educational campaign on the parent's side to feel confident? >> there are technologies out there that are not well known by the parents. i think they could be easier to use. they need to be used across all platforms. hopefully we will work with industry to come up with solutions that work across all platforms. >> that speaks to the issue of the very rapid change in telecommunications in our world today. is the fcc prepared an up-to- date on all these changes, the way it is st

the attitude has changed, and it has changed for consumers. we were on a consumer binge that was sustained by borrowing. that is no longer sustainable. the attitude of the consumer has changed. we will see -- i don't see how we will be able to sustain -- we will have to do it. as we were implying, there is tremendous downward pressure on the ability of the american economy to grow. i do not think that we're going to be in a position -- we have no choice about that -- debt. if you have too much credit card debt, or a disproportionate low in relation to the value of your home, if you lose your job, you still have to pay your debts. so we will be in the same position as a country. the issue of that has become a more serious political issue. the country is really worried about the assumption of debt and what it means for succeeding generations. it goes in the same issue that i find pretty deeply troubling. the about the deficits that we are building into our system are really staggering. if you look at the health care system carefully, it is going

this has been a year like no other. at times it has felt like this grand old palace has been under siege, and isolated from the public and defending their jobswhen details of what they had been paying themselves exploded into public view, the reputation in this place and its politicians was dragged violently down. in the end, the speaker, meant to be a respected figure head of the commons, had to pay with his job. >> since i came 30 years ago, i have always felt the house is at its best when it is united. in order that unity can be maintained, i have decided that i will relinquish the office of speaker. >> the details of what some m.p.'s were claiming were hard to believe. some were accused of flipping, using texas pair's money to renovate their second home and transferring that status to another property and doing it again. it was the more colorful claims that stuck. a bill for cleaning a motor. a home for one m.p.'s deduction and horse manure for the garden. >> it wasn't just parliament under attack. the departure of

the best research on this has been done by colonel plight sullivan who has written extensively about the military death penalty. in addition, prof. gary solis did a study of the vietnam war crimes cases. the results were quite remarkable about sentences' being reduced materially as they progressed into the command review process and the appellate review process under the ucmj. draconian sentences tended to be reduced dramatically. i am not saying that that will happen here. there are a lot of steps along the way. brian mentioned life without parole. as this case unfold, the military is greater at acronyms. you may hear lwop, which is life without parole. the only other thing that i wanted to mention renown is that, more broadly, going past the army record, the other services are not what i call bloodthirsty in terms of the administration of the death sentence. the u.s. marine corps has not had an execution since before the war between the states. it is a system that is quite slow to impose a death sentence >>. >> just the gray case alone, his death warrant was signed by president bus

he has to decide how to be a justice. it is too bad not to have his voice, but that is a decision for him. >> he had taken over case i argued about 10 years ago and asked questions for the upper side -- other side. but as an advocate, i appreciate telling the court with lawyers think, and it would be nice to have an opportunity to get points we hope to make. >> yes, right here. >> i suspect more than one attorney has left the court after an argument and tried to figure out how the case would be decided on the basis of questions and responses. two of you argued and won reported. from your experience, how reliable are those questions as a gauge of how the questions come down? >> some cases are too close to call, but in a lot of cases, the impression you have when you leave the courtroom is a good predictor of what the outcome will be. it depends on how many justices are active. when people can get it wrong is that everybody has not been active. there have just been a few on one side, but you can hear from five and you might

i take it he has left. maybe somebody on the panel can answer this question, and obviously it is a medical question. the term cte, and what i have read it has the information, the research done has come from a result of autopsies. is there a technology now that exists that allows for the diagnosis on determination of cte in a young male that is alive? i don't see anyone that knows the answer. >> i'm not qualified. >> everybody is looking at me. i'm not a neurosurgeon or a neuropathologist, so doctor mckee, doctor maroon, doctor morgan lander will be able to answer that better. the quick answer from my perspective as a team physician, no, it's not easy or simple to make a diagnosis of cte from an imaging study right now. certainly there are mri changes associated with dementia related diseases. but specifically to the question you asked, my answer would be no, but i would do for -- >> i understand there is a second panel, but the purpose of the question, i would say what concerns me, is obviously the league

he has to keep his party together, has moved farther to the left. he has put by partisanship out of reach to some degree just because there is nothing more dangerous in politics than [inaudible] >> you have done a lot, particularly in the health-care field, and i think, as someone who has been there for a long time, it is remarkable to see the ama supporting. they have opposed everyone sensed -- since [inaudible] also on the energy side were you have the utility supporting cap and trade as well as individual businesses, that is not translating into any support. i chose a couple weeks ago to have a former congressman and around here -- they could not deliver a single republican to support health care. what does explain the disconnect between elements in the business community that are willing to support the direction this is going, and the fact that it is uniform -- a virtual uniform opposition even among republicans in congress? >> 60 votes in the senate. again, let's just talk as pollsters and give some -- no, here is what is important. when you as

it has just ended. the chief of police has announced that formal charges have been filed against mario mcneill, the 29-year-old man, pickured in a hotel video with 5-year-old shaniya davis. we now know he is charged with first-degree murder and the rape of this child. this 5-year-old little girl. my question tonight is, why isn't mommy charged with murder one? according to police reports, she's the one who handed the child over to this killer. we are taking your calls live. to jean casarez joining us. jean, what can you tell me? what will it take for a charge on mommy? >> reporter: well, she can definitely be charged and under north carolina law, if she was an accessory before the fact an accessory after the fact, the conspiracy situation. she doesn't have to have been actively involved in killing the child. >> jean casarez, please, i don't want to hear any legal talk. break it down. she handed her child over to a killer for pete's sake. >> reporter: and we have to look at her knowledge. what did she kn

it has the ramifications. it's not cowering in fear of terrorists to decide the best way for this case to be tried, is to be tried by military commission. you've indicated that military commissions can be used, that, therefore, i assume you believe, mr. holder, that a military commission can fairly and objectively try certain of these cases. >> yeah, i think that's right, and that's why i sent five of those trials to military commissions. i expect that as i make further determinations i will be sending further legitimate way that other nations that used, as well as the united states, to try people in the rules of war? >> that is correct. when appropriate i will make use of those commissions. >> i want to tell you, i think that this is causing quite a bit of concern. i think that today in new jersey, where they chaired the 9/11 commission, they think that this is a mistake. that it will provide khalid sheikh mohammed with the position of being a martyr and al qaeda sympathizer around the world. the united state

i think johnny has earned it.e on, he is sexy, he's been around for a long time, he's hat boat loads of movies. and robert, i know he's the popular boy, the prom king right now, but johnny deserves it just a little bit. robert always has next year, remember. >> you're right. and johnny depp's been in the business for longer than robert pattinson has even been alive. but do you want an example of how hot a lot of people think pattinson is? he was on the "today" show this morning, and you have got to see the screaming, convulsing, hyperventilating women lined up outside the studio. watch. >> you ready to face your fans? it's going to be chilly, but they'll warm you up, i guarantee it. >> robert, some of these people have been here for more than a day. >> there they go. >> okay, i'm not so sure that johnny depp gets that same reaction from women. the debate continued on our "showbiz tonight" facebook page. michelle g. writes, robert pattinson, you have got to be kidding. but holly n. counters, johnny , omg, hands dow

i don't know what her record is, if she has another misdemeanor that she has pled to, this could putrd has been and where she stands, in the firing line of screwing up in this country. >> okay. well, she's got a misdemeanor, but her husband is pleading to a felony. i know prosecutor says we're only suggesting probation. no jail time? >> yeah. it's -- it's a felony punishable by two to eight years of prison, but he is probation-eligible. so what they have to do is a presentence evaluation. they bring him in, they talk to him, they figure out what his criminal history is. and if somebody mentioned that he was told to fall on his sword, which is exactly what he needs to do and plead for mercy. he was nudged, he should do this, he knows that, i'm going to get help, please forgive me, i'm going to pay this back. yeah, he could get probation. if he goes in with an attitude, which given the way this guy is, i would bet 50/50 that may help, he could say hell with you, i am going to do what i want, he might be inviting a jail term. >> a lot of people might say -- i've heard a lot of people ar

has spoken loud and clear. the reid bill not only fails to bring down costs, it will actually raise costs for millions of americans. i think that bears repeating. the reid bill will make health insurance more expensive. families will end up paying 10% to 13% more as a result of this 2,054-page bill. now, some proponents of this bill are trying to spin this very -- what they consider unfortunate news and tell the american people that taxpayer-funded subsidies will actually offset these cost increases. in fact, tonight some members have already been saying that this c.b.o. analysis shows costs will come down, but i want to make it very clear c.b.o. says that that's not the case. well, this may be true if you take $500 billion of taxpayers' hard-earned money and give it out in subsidies directly to insurance companies. sure. some people may end up paying less for health insurance, but this argument fails to recognize two big underlying problems. first, most americans will not qualify for any subsidies. they'll jus

i mean, oprah's show has been on the air for 25 years, and she has become such an incredible staple of american television. i'm excited for her that she's going to be able to get a little pit of a break, but i'm certainly not counting her out in any way because i know that she has a very long and productive future ahead of her. >> in fact, oprah does have plans for the future. she is launching a cable network called own" that will make its debut in january of 2011. >>> there is another new set of testing guidelines for women for cervical cancer. the american college of on sta trigss and gynecologists say most women in their 20s only need a pap smear every two years instead of every year. the group says women don't need their first one until the age of 21, unlike the controversial new mammogram guidelines, the american cancer society supports these recommendations. >>> the man charged with kidnapping a 5-year-old north carolina girl will also be charged with murder and rape. mario mcneil is expected in court today. police say he was the last person to see shaniya davis alive. her mother
