: for the latest on these alzheimer developments we turn to creighton phelps, director of the alzheimer's disease center program on the national institute on aging it helped put together the expert panels that are recommending these changes. and creighton phelps, welcome. what is driving these proposed changes now to both the testing and the categories of alzheimer? >> the science has really grown immensely since 1984 when these original guidelines were first written. and so we wanted to update them and to include signs that relates to the underlying biology of alses alz-- alzheimer disease and how that man fists itself in clinical symptoms and see if we can link that up a little tighter than it's been done before. >> warner: so what do these tests, say, the different brain scans or the spinal taps, what can it tell you about the brain relevant to alzheimer's that you couldn't tell say 10 or 15 years ago? >> we now have imaging techniques such as something walled pittsburgh compound b which allows us to see the amy lloyd protein that occurs in the brains of alzheimer's patients. what-- we

want to see ongoing research into finding answers to degenerative conditions like parkinson's and alzheimer's. will the prime minister give appear assurance to the house that despite the global economic conditions this government will not cut back on its funding for medical research? >> well, no one wants to see reductions in those programs. they're very important but like everything else, there is a comprehensive spending review. it's no good honorable members opposite making this point. whoever was standing here right now would have to look at public spendingrograms and make sense of them and i have to say -- i have to say that maybe they should listen to the speech that the trade industry shadow mister is going to make this afternoon where he's going to say fighting the cuts is a tempting slogan in opposition but if that is all we're saying the conclusion will be drawn we are wishing the problem away. we have a new problem in british politics. it's called deficit deniersnd i'm looking at a whole he row of them. >> does my right honorable friend agree that him and his favor who have moved i

second, i see a lot programs on tv -- i see a lot of programs on tv or books being sold about alzheimer's and things like that, and how are they able to sell that on tv? the third question i have is what is the difference of opinion of unbiased experts, not people like me who have no clue, but unbiased experts on how sick or less that you should be? host: acupuncture? guest: not something the fda regulates three certainly something they are aware of, but not something they have control over. host: advertising? guest: as far as advertising goes, the mission is to prevent products that are drugs or have drug-like properties without approval, tests that prove that the drug does what it says it does. there are programs were consumers are invited to report these things to them, and marketed drug, approved drugs that may be sold or advertised beyond the scope of what they are not to be good for. host: his third one was the oversight process, who is being involved in approving or rejecting these drugs. guest: the decisions are made by the drug reviewer is within the division and there are separa

i want to say that we have had two presidents, one had no brain and the other had alzheimer's.s just a mess. host: we have switched topics. we appreciate your calling in. brandon, republican. job creation and economic stimulus. caller: this stimulus package is stimulating by dick. host: detroit, richard, independent line. caller: i just read in the detroit news this morning how they gave $1 million for a south korean company to make a battery plant in michigan. host: you live in michigan, you know what the economic situation is. "the washington post," they have an article on that very issue. do you think it is a good idea for the government? caller: is a good idea to create jobs, but why can we not have our own company from the u.s.? rather than a foreign company. . . host: any thoughts on his thoughts? guest: i do, but bad news. even if i thought that government spending was capable of creating long term, spendable jobs that the american people can count on, the stimulus report here at the center shows that unemployment is actually not a factor that leads to the decision of sp

reagan in his last speech to his staffers, the last three innings before he succumbed to alzheimer'sreminded you what would happen and 76 when carter would govern from the left. the american people would rise up and they would demand an accountability. bill clinton campaigned as a moderate but he will govern from the left because he has to go his party won't let him have it any other way. and the american people will respond because liberal policies failed in the 1994 republican revolution happened. twice before your fathers, your mothers, perhaps you be back liberalism. 77 to 80, 93 to 96. now we have the third yard yard-brown, exactly 16 years later. it is obama now. obama mpaigned as a moderate. he governed as a liberal. and the american people have responded to that flimflam are he and that is why do you are here. [applaus i think american history goes in cycles. every 75 years there's a generation that is called upon to do maximum sacrifices to keep this country free. the first generation that did that with the revolution that fought and won our freedom as judge napolitano told

in france, we have 1 million dependent people, 200,000 alzheimer's victims every year. it is a national disaster. i was flabbergasted to notice that only 20% of old people were dependent, and could pay to be in a retirement home. i am going to settle this. it is the duty of government to settle all the concrete questions. lester mark on this topic -- >> are you going to a smaller team? some people are asking you. >> they are right. anyway, that is going to be a job for the end of october. anyway, we are at the end of july. the overture to the minority will be different. >> if you are nice enough to advise me, i will answer your question then. we're coming to pension reform. that is going to be presented tomorrow in the council of ministers. it is still being discussed. the french are reserved. for you it is the main reform. it is an essential reform. >> i will explain. it is not because it is a great pleasure that i do this. two major mistakes have been committed in the last 20 years. first of all, it is when the retirement age -- and the democratic evidence against any

trying to find a cure to cancer or a cure to alzheimer's or parkinson's disease is somehow being overpaid. i've heard a lot of things on this floor but never heard anyone decry the fact that workers in this country, you know, should be paid less. my friend from north carolina always likes to talk about the fact that, you know, government should act more like a business. i want to remind her that the bill we are talking about here today, the telework bill, telework practices have been adopted by the private sector throughout the country. give you an example. telework allows i.b.m. to reduce office space and save $56 million per year every year. it works in the private sector why don't we take that example of where the private sector is able to save some money and bring it to the government sector where we may be table save some money. if we could save tens of millions of dollars each year that is a good thing. we could take that money and put it toward deficit reduction. but the idea to come out here and to be against this bill because of unions and all this other stuff i think is ridiculo

research to someone with alzheimer's, for them to be able to restore their memory and restore their ability to come back to their family. that's as personal as it gets. research that allows us to reconnect the wirings in the brain of a family that has children with autism. kneel armstrong in his famous quote when he landed on the moon, an objective people thought was unrlistic, they thought it was impossible. but the ited states got behind that mission and we carried the day because we're the united states. how fitting it would be if we could apply neil armstrong's quote to not only putting a man on the moon but apply that quote one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, to those veterans when it comes to them being able to say i stepped out of my wheelchair, i was able to step out of my bed, i was able to step out of my house because this country went ahead with science. nothing is more personal. and just later in about three weeks i'm going to celebrate the anniversary of my father's passing. what people don't know is that i marvel the fact that i had an extra year with my dad th
