every day for two years ann frank immortalized her story. when i gave the story to maria first she was upset. she looked at the cover and said i don't look like her or talk like her or even preach the same god she prays to. in marinas mind how was this little girl who wasn't latino, didn't speak spanish and was sent from her hood supposed to help her change? i remember asking her to take this book, and maybe she would find herself in the pages of this book. we picked up a plastic champagne glass and toasted for change and in the back of her mind i know she thought there was no way this will grow from a country i can't identify on a map, how is she supposed to help me change and on her toast for change that date it wasn't about number two pencils or scan shrontz, it wasn't about five estes or book reports. maria's change was profound. this little girl at 14 picked up a plastic champagne glass in one hand and the diary of ann frank in another and simply said i don't want to be pregnant by the time i turn 15 like my mother and i don't want

ann said that she is happy with the availablity in colorado. she and her husband built in the cost of health care when they began their business because she knew it would help attract the best employees. ann said that she understands how important a healthy workforce is and supports wellness programs so that employees can prevent major medical conditions. whenever she brings someone in, she knows the first question asked c will be: do you have a health care plan? the business has been forced to offer less and less coverage to keep the premiums within its budget. health care is one of the biggest ticket items they worry about. she said that the percent increase over the previous year has been in the double digits. as a result they've had to offer less coverage with higher deductibles and more out-of-pocket cost. the plan's deductible has gone from $1,500 to $3,000. ann said that they will likely have to take a $5,000 deductible. she knows how much it can be for employees to absorb. a few years ago when an employee was facing a serious health con

cassidyy, johnny, benny and my wife is formerly ann goldman of new orleans. we met there and got married. i have become a family man. it's changed my life. more than changing your life, i love taking them out. all they want to do now is go to the wild basis. we have a place in austin. i take them all the time to the study center. if they see a fish, they say a pemp. i have trained them to get them to start knowing all of them. they each have faff rite animal that's they've hoaned in all. without scag operation, my daughter probably has 200 toy ducks.el we have a lot of those the writing of all this, do you still write longhand? >> i'm mixed these days. it's really my first draft. it's like going to a civil war scholar and taking notes >> are you left handed? >> i am. obama is left handed, clinton is left handed. bush 41 is left handed. >> what does that mean? >> we're a tribe. >> last question, who named it willederness warrior. john hilton cooper has a book the warrior and the prees. he liked to have fights about everything and believed it. he was very bold

and there was ann hutchinson, of course, but there is no paper, there are no archives left by ann hutchinson in her own words. everything that we know about her has been written by men. and then, there was abigail adams, and she left letters, and as i started reading her letters, it was love at first letter. and i realized, i could work on abigail adams and there were at the time very few biographies of her. that had been written in recent tim times. there had been biographies around world war ii but no contemporary biographies of abigail adams and i started out writing a biography of abigail adams and this was a good 30 years ago and finished it and it was a chronological history of her life from birth to death and just about the time i was ready to publish, a couple of biographies did come out about her and a realized that my biography was not different than the other biographies, that came about. came out about her and the salient thing about all of them was that all of her biographies had as its protagonist, main character, its hero, john adams. and the reason was that john was

he was a loving husband of 58 years to jo ann. he was proud father to daughter cynthia and mary lou. he was a devoted grandfather of cole, kyle, michelle, and great grandfather of kristen, preston, and daniel. finally, madam speaker, he was my dear friend. he was born in 1929 in texas and graduated from luisa high school. he proudly defended our nation in the korean war by serving in the united states army. when his service ended dove began what became a legacy of leadership in our free enterprise system and service to his community. he returned to work and eventually owned his own clothing business. he gave back to his small west texas community by shaping the live of younger men as the order of de malay dad and long time boy scout leader. he then moved to my hometown of dallas, texas, where he began a long career and corporate group insurance management. after that he set his sights heward on the pine trees and lakes of east texas and began a fire and casualty insurance business in henderson county. as a business owner he helped

coulter and ann malcolm. standing room only. it's so rare that a conservative is actually -- that conservatives are actually brought onto college campuses so bring them in. you will cause the biggest stir and it will be so much fun you will never regret bringing someone in. so when you go back, bring people in but when you go back to campus this fall, you need to be ready. i'm just going to get into this one issue and talk about this other stuff. they are going to talk about how unfair conservatives are being to supreme court nominee sotomayor. you know, they are. they're going to be talking about how we took after her because she's a woman and because she's hispanic. okay, ladies in particular, you need to be ready. you need to have all of your arguments lined up. be ready with the fact that it was judge sotomayor, not conservatives, who said, i would hope that a wise latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that

my wife is ann goldman of new orleans. we met there and got married in new orleans and have become a family man. it's changed my life. and more, brian, changing your life having kids, i love taking them -- all my kids want to do now is go to the wild basin to go see animals. we have a place in austin. so i take them to a nature study center. i'm teaching them the animals. they don't look and say they know even -- if they see a fish in the tank, that's a perch. i trained them to get them to start knowing all of them and they each have favorite animals that they've honed in on. my daughter benton, for example, is all ducks and we have -- without exaggeration she probably has 200 ducks, toy ducks -- >> 200 toy ducks? >> she just surrounded her of all of these little, it's an obsession. but the audubon society of america does a whole series of bird stuffed toys, which are really fun because you can get a great blue heron or you could get a snowy egret or whatever it might be. we have a lot of those, too, a big audubon society

take ann from dayton. dayton is a community in southwest ohio. she wrote to me to share her story. for the past five and a half years she paid almost $130,000 in health care bills. how can this be? was she uninsured? no. when her illness struck she was a partner at a law firm, had good insurance. once she became too sick to work, she lost her coverage. she was forced to fend for herself. she and her family went on cobra for as long as they could, then paid $27,000 a year for insurance on the individual market. the individual market is where the administrative costs run 30%, 45,% where medical underwriting runs rampant. she traded that plan, $27,000 a year plan, $2,500 a month almost, for a bare-bones policy that cost only $15,000 a year. only. but doesn't cover prescription drugs and has a $5,000 deductible. that means before she gets one dollar of care paid for by insurance companies she's paying $15,000 for the premium and $5,000 for the deductible. she writes in her letter this is not what insurance is supposed to be about. the bill before us today will take a number of steps to

but if you can't bring in ann coulter, bring in somebody else. it will be effective and fun to have in and make sure the topic will be a little bit dramatic if your goal is to round that enthusiasm. the goal to have a conservative speaker is generate discussion and excitement and enthusiasm and open up the discourse because right now on a lot of your campuses it's shut down and because most of your professors and your administrators are coming from the left, there's not a lot of intellectual diversity so it's really up to you guys to shake things up a little bit. so the first thing i would suggest is that you try to bring in a conservative speaker and alyssa walks you through it every step of the way. so if you've never brought anyone in, i'm not going to say it's no work because it is. but it's awesome. you get to spend a lot of time with this person and you get to learn a lot but she will walk you through the whole thing step-by-step. it's not like you call her up and it's all up to you. there are a lot of great -- you should go to conferences.

and anne frank. i got out the diary, because i remember vaguely in the back of my mind that she had written something about d-day. well, it turns out to be -- i mean, you have to be a stone not to cry at that anne frank entry on d-day. gertrude stein was up in the hinterlands where italy and switzerland and france come together, trying to just get through world war ii. i've always liked her writing, and i wanted to see what it was like for gertrude on d-day. well, she gave me a hell of a good story, about the germans bowing to her because she was an american. bowing to them -- they'd never done that before. and her friends calling her on the telephone and saying, "congratulations on your birthday."

and in amterdam a young girl ann franks was inspired to write of the news of d-day as too wonderful, almost too like a fairy tale. and for her even at the age of 14 it was an affirmation that humanity can triumph in the face of carnage. she wrote, i still believe that people are good at heart. and these words written before her short life ended in a diary she thought nobody would ever reach. are perhaps the greatest eeptaff of those grages men and women, that people are good at heart is an inspiration for another generation of courageous men and women in our armed forces whose goodness today is to work for peace in every corner of the world. we salute the devotion of our armed forces, our gratitude to them and our families must always be equal to what they give. above all else, for you, if remaining few, the veterans who have outlived that day, that battle, and that war, who gather here today with your families and with your children, so our children and our children's children will gather here year after year to honor you long after you are gone. and far beyond these moments of refl

ann mentioned the amount of retirements and the problem is equally as serious on the front end, particularly, with respect to attracting the best private practitioners. we're cutting off many people in private practice from judicial service with these levels of pay because they are asked to take dramatic drops in salaries in their mid to late 50s at a time when their kids are just starting college. and in addition to that, they're asked to put their practice on hold during the 18 months that their reputation is attacked and potentially sullied. now, if you want a judiciary where primarily circuit judgeships, for example, are filled by magistrat or district judges or you want it filled primary academics whom i have to say given my own background, don't do a terrible job. [laughter] >> and if you want to have that mix and if you want to attract the private practitioner and not cut off some of the really superb leaders of the bar, you have to have a comparability or a 300, 400% drop in pay and when conditions were relatively better than they are you now, sometimes it was a tough sell. >> yeah,

carol ann, republican. caller: i unconcerned -- i am concerned, americans with a high gas mileage cars, the present saying we will save 1.8 million gallons of gasoline, but who will make up the tax revenue that comes from the gasoline that we use? if we will lose all of that revenue, we have all these cars driving places, someone will have to step up taxes somewhere. i would thank you if you could give me a little bit of light on who would make up the taxes. guest: of i think that cutting get -- i think that cutting gas imports, as you are aware, but united states imports much of the oil and gas from the middle east, canada, and elsewhere and that is part of the obama administration's motivation here, they want to encourage alternative energy like wind and solar. so i think they would probably argue that cutting imports of gas is not a bad thing, the tax committed elsewhere from other energy taking its place. host: lexington, but he kentucky, the democrats' line. caller: oit was already mentiond about as yo

take for example ann from dayton ohio in the southwest part of my state she wrote with me to share her story. the past five and a half years she paid $125,000 climbing in health care bills. how can this be? was she on insured? in fact when her illness struck she was a partner in a law firm and had good insurance but once she became too sick to work she lost her coverage and was forced to fend for herself. she and her family went on cobra, as expensive as it is when you are unemployed, for as long as they could and then paid $27,000 a year for insurance in the individual market where medical underwriting runs rampant and the cost of the bureaucratic cost of a single policy and individual market is 40, 40% off. she recently traded at plan because of the expense for a bear bones policy that cost her $15,000 a year but doesn't cover prescription drugs and has a 5,000-dollar deductible. so she starts off paying $20,000 for medical care. that's just the start. she writes in the letter this is not what insurance is about. the bill of course today takes a number of steps to ensure americans do

we could start with ann on this prevention programs that encourage people to quit smoking and controlir weight. it is no mystery that smoking and obesity are leading causes of the chronic diseases that are driving up healthcare costs. and finding ways to reduce these illnesses would also reduce costs. we should allow employers to create incentives for workers to adopt healthier lifestyles. we should also encourage the same kind of robust competition in health insurance and health insurance market that has worked so well in medicare prescription drug benefit part d. we can enact a long-overdue reforms to our nation's medical liability laws. for too long the threat of frivolous lawsuits has caused insurance premiums for doctors to skyrocket. doctors then passed these higher costs on to patients, driving up the cost of care. most people think the healthcare dollars out to be spent on healthcare, not insurance premiums yet doctors all across america are not only passing along the cost of higher and higher premiums, their ordering expensive and unnecessary tests and procedures to protect t
