and pacific bank represently alexander hamilton said here sir, the people government.hat's still true. so turn out on a bad weather day like today and what we've seen since last summer at town hall meetings and floods of e-mails and telephone calls if people continue to let their voices be heard we can sit the reset button and work together to build reforms that'll make sense for the american people and future generations. i'm not giving up on being able to stop this bill by a long-shot but at the end of the day, the american people, if they're not heard between now and november they'll be heard in november i guarantee. >> m mike, this is cindy. i think we seem to be in a rush to do something that's been out of control for a long time and we want to push this through to say we got it done in the first term of president barack obama and i think we need to stop. look at it, open a light, look at it in room with everybody at the table, there seems to be an issue of we were talking about by par tannism. we find a president barack obama meeting in private chambers with demo

alexander haig, richard nixon were all very critical of reagan's apparent willingness to trust gorbachevand his willingness to sign the agreement in europe. the former american ambassador to moscow, an excellent ambassador between 1987 and 1991, in his book "reagan and gorbachev: how the cold world ended" a lot of these people have been supporters of reagan's zero option. and then it was dismissed out of hand. that made the point that a lot of people supported it, only the assumption that the a soviet union could never accepted. i don't think that it was reagan's rhetoric which brought this profound change in the soviet union and eastern europe because, in fact, when he accidentally in moscow, the people who wanted this change or wanted to end the cold war the buildup of strategic defense initiative, the strength and the hard-liners. the soviet military were worried because the scientists thought it would work. most of them were very skeptical or dismiss it completely. but an investment into this for a technological spinoff that would strengthen the magistrates are forces. as usual ease

this is alexander agassiz, the greatest zoologist in america.ying day, and was very obstinate to darwin. after his death a statue was erected to him in stanford university on the zoology building, and there was an earthquake. the san francisco earthquake. agassiz statue fell down and embedded itself head-first. the president of the university had remarked that he preferred. he said i always thought he was much better in the abstract than in the concrete. [laughter] .. they were hauling in thousands of napoleon's soldiers and bones to fertilize the fields of england and mummies from egypt and of italian skeletons from the catacombs. and if i couldn't go along very long. when this former brought these coprolites to henslowe he said he had discovered gold because these fossils are not made of carbonate. they are made of phosphate and they can be used as fertilizers and it turned out they were great deposits of them that could be mined and so one commentator at the time said isn't it ironic that now england is going to be rescued by these fossil doo

alexander: thank you, madam president, and i yield the floor. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mr. johanns: madam president, i rise today to speak in support of the pending amendment. this amendment is called "the erasing our national debt through accountability and responsibility plan." madam president, i want to start out today and say i'm very proud to be a cosponsor of what i consider to be a very commonsense amendment. the troubled asset relief program known as tarp was enacted in the fall of 2008 for the u.s. treasury to buy toxic assets, primarily mortgage-backed securities. it was sold to congress as having a sole purpose of getting bad assets out of the market. it was sold for the idea of stabilizing the economy. madam president, at the time that this was sold, this was it, this is what we told people that this was going to do. supposedly it was going to be a one-time, very narrowly focused program during a time of -- of the worst economic crisis that we had seen in decades. lawmakers at that time were warned, you know,

this is alexander agassi, who was the greatest zoologist in america.dent of the university had remarked, that he preferred -- he said i've always thought agassi was much better in the abstract than in a concrete. [laughter] >> in england wit darwin's teacher. somebody brought some rocks to him that were very strange, and he recognized the need to leave what they were. i will to you about the. england, the last decades of the 19th century had totally depleted its fertilizer and its field and its oil. they couldn't do anything. the farms were on profitable in the villages were dying and famine threatened the country. and they were, believe it or not, importing human skeletons by the ton from the battlefields of europe. from waterloo. never hauling in thousands of napoleon's soldiers, bones, to fertilize the fields of england, and mummies from egypt. and italian skeletons from the catacombs. that could go on very long -- couldn't go on very long. when these farmers brought these to his low, he said you have discovered gold. because these fossils are not m

alexander: i look forward to the president's state of the union address. there is talk about how the president might reconnect with the american people. the president himself said after the election of the massachusetts republican senator, he said perhaps he had not been talking to the american people directly about core values. so if i may do this in a respectful way, i'd like to make a suggestion about what the president might say on wednesday evening. to reconnect with the american people, i would suggest that in his state of the union address, the president talk first about creating jobs. second, about reining in the national debt. and make terrorism his third subject. then it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if he stopped right there and focused his unswerving attention on jobs, debt and terrorism until he had all three of them headed in a better direction. after all, in my view, the president struggled in his first year not only because his agenda veered too far left, but because he took too many big bites out of too many apples and tried to swallow

klausen, i have a question, i'm alexander mcclaren from the state department. what made the cartoons so provocative. there are many ungodly things going on in the world these days, and did you feel it was more -- well, i guess you feel it was more a top down process that people chose these cartoons, cost to get word out about them, to inspire -- to inspire violent demonstrations, is that more or less correct? >> what was really remarkable about the cartoons was the extent to which people had knowledge of them. but didn't know them. didn't actually see them. the surveys found that in 13 country survey that 80% of the public knew about the cartoons and figured that rose to 90% in jordan and egypt as well as some western european countries. americans were not so well informed about this whole mat terp. i thought that was really a puzzlement, and it wasn't as though i've -- as part of my interviews, i had asked people what it was that was so upsetting. and it became clear that for most muslims, the muslim middle class across very wide swath of the middle east and e

nbc's peter alexander is here with details on this. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, happy new year to you. it's been called the tiger woods defense. in recently-filed court papers, the lawyer for david letterman's accused extortionist is invoking the tiger woods scandal. claiming if it's not a crime for tiger woods' mistresses to seek payoffs -- two iconings, to unforgotable sex scandals that dominated the tabloids for months. >> i have, had sex with women who worked for me on this show. >> reporter: david letterman became a punchline first, making his stunning admission in october, after suspended cbs news producer, joe halderman, allegedly tried to extort $2 million from the comedian for keeping quiet about his romantic affairs. weeks later, tiger's turn, acknowledging his own infidelity as a sealingly never-ending parade of women marched through the headlines. but is that where the similarities between the two scandals end? in these recently-released court papers, halderman's lawyer took another swing at getti

i am working with senator marsh and delegates mcclellan and alexander to continue the good work from year's 200th anniversary commemoration of lincoln's birthday, through the sesquicentennial and the anniversary of emancipation. the world will come here to remember and reflect upon the lessons learned from this pivotal period in our history. and while these tourists are here, they should stay awhile, spend lots of money, and help put more virginians to work. [ applause ] i propose an increase in funding of the virginia tourism corporation by $3.6 million in each of the next two years. i want the funding of the virginia tourism corporation to double by the time i leave office in 2014. another smart investment we can make is in film production. this year the movie "secretariat" will hit theaters. a movie about a horse from virginia. with a director from virginia. filmed in kentucky and louisiana. not landing that production here meant an estimated loss of $30 million in economic impact. that is a failure. it's not hard to see why we struggle to attract film production. south carolina o

the next bradley lecture will take place on monday, february 8 when professor gerard alexander of the university of virginia will speak on the topic, to liberals know best, intellectual self-confidence and it claims to a monopoly of knowledge. it is for me an enormous pleasure and distinct personal privilege to be able to introduce today's speaker, my former students and colleague and now my friend and teacher, yuval levin. editor of the new quarterly magazine, national affairs. offering advice about teaching, leo strauss once wisely suggested that one should always assume that there is one silence student in your class he was by far superior to you in head and in hard. yuval levin won first appearing a decade ago in my classes at the university of chicago was not quite silent, but it soon became apparent, most especially from his writings and his manner, that he was precisely the sort of student strauss wanted teachers to imagine, smart, deep, wise and humanly admirable. and emigrant from israel to new jersey abby chait yuval came to the committee on social thought from a staff posit

conclusively concluded the senate does not the comprehensive very well, from republican senator lamar alexanderid he is urging an energy policy based on four ideas endorsed by all of the republican senators, 100 new nuclear power plants, dramatic -- dramatic increase in electric cars, increase offshore oil and gas drilling and research and development of alternative energies. jonesboro, north carolina. tim on the independent line. guest: -- caller: all you do is hear his voice or see his face. he has done nothing but in a political campaign mode from day one and lying to the general public and it is about time he does something. that says he is going to do. instead of lying and letting people get in between him and everybody else so he can blame it on somebody else. host: does that include health care reform? caller: dawna right. the only reason he is board is because what happened to his mother. he has a hard on for people like that and the health care system, rather than take it out on the people who honestly of the ones that are controlling it. host: don on the democrats' line. you are next.

on "fox news sunday" they will be speaking with evan bayh, lamar alexander, and chris van pollan. as well as wisconsin republican, paul ryan. on "face the nation" bob schieffer will speak with john boone, grant hall, and edward bell, as well as haley barbour. "state of the union" is hosted by john king on cnn, including mitch mcconnell, and robert gibbs. you can listen to all five of those talk shows on c-span radio starting at noon. also on the web at c- spanradixdo.org. follow-ups on twitter and facebook. >> today, byron dorgan talks about whether or not the president made a mistake in putting health care in such a high agenda place in the last year. >> do you think that he made a mistake? >> i do. not because health care is not important, but i think that the timing was not good. Ñispending in a deep hole, it is hard to reach as high as you need to reach to get a proposal that will go through congress. personally, i would have said to work exclusively on economics again, putting people back to work. i am sure that the president will say that he was working on that as well. look

. >> is there a question from alexander. consider it an important question, why i have selected this particular question. i will read it to you now. we are increasing pensions from all categories throughout november. i would like to know what is going to be happening with the pensioners, sargents, nco's and the ministry. my pension is 3610 rubles. what is going to happen? in 2010, there should not be in the russian federation pensioners who are receiving pensions lower than the minimum living level. if the pension is lower than the living standard in the region, these people shall be receiving additional -- either from the regional budget or the federal budget. they are different, but it will be supplemented. what concerns military discharge servicemen pensions, it is probably a very simple question. the question is there, but it can be resolved. there are certain servicemen who had served the armed forces for a certain time, were discharged and received additional seniority working with civilians. if the seniority is no les

university of alabama, when you think about the great names who played running back, johnny museo, sean alexander, bobby humphrey, that's saying a lot. but mark ingram is also a deans list student. my sister, judy, is the provost at the university of alabama, chief academic officer. she says the faculty at the university look at mark with awe at what he does not only on the athletic field but in the classroom as well. he's a deans list student and he's certainly setting the highest standard of any student at the university of alabama. so, it goes without saying, madam speaker, that we are all proud, the people of michigan, the people of alabama, and people all across this country that a young man can come to the university of alabama, someone who didn't even know if he would be starting in running back -- at the running back position at the beginning of the year, and contribute to his team to win the 13th national championship and the first ever heisman trophy. we are proud of mark ingram and i thank the gentleman from michigan and the gentleman from kentucky for allowing all of us to pause for j

alexander hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury, is said to have said, "a national debt, if not excessive, will lead to a national budget." mr. jefferson, who did not always follow his advice to others, said "never spend your money before you have it." i have often thought that we have here tonight is a discussion about how people's thoughts, ideas, opinions, reactions, to the news and events of the day are affected by the 24 hour, seven-day week coverage by the media. tonight we're here to find out. we have a panel moderated by bob franken. he is an emmy award winning journalist, syndicated columnist he served as a correspondent for cnn and msn bc. our second panelist is margaret brennan. she is also a graduate of mr. jefferson's university of virginia. alan murray is deputy assistant managing editor of of the "wall street journal's out of -- "wall street journal's out -- wall street journal." next, we have robert simons, a contributing editor at "newsweek" where he has written about business and economic issues since 1977. past and future of american affluence. we have a pbs c
