that's a look at the at&t player of the game. now when we come back we'll have a little bit about chat about jason berken effort tonight. gave up a lot of doubles and the orioles lose to oakland 9- 4. reminder to meet adam jones the star doctor fielder from noon to 1:00 at the wendy's in front of hit cinema. visit masn sports.com. just a delightful person to talk to. when we go back he had a rough go. no doubt about that. look at statistics for tonight. he gave up so many doubles it tied a record set by mike. he gave up seven doubles in the game. and he gave up seven doubles back in '96. tonight the numbers three and a third innings, seven hits, allowed nine runs, three walks. and as you said, rick, earlier the walks all scored. it's tough. >> you look at the chart the way that we do this and you see that after every walk is a base hit. jason giambi has always been a dangerous hitter. we just talked about it without seeing the clip about how many good pitches they had to hit. the oakland a's are the worst hitting team in the amer

at&t the world is delivered.o ross detwiler 23, we go to the sixth inning in this three-run ball game. >> rob: 43 for cueto, you know, career starts right now and he had his growing pains as i told you the other day or earlier in the day. >> seemed like the other day. >> rob: feels like the other y. ere at the end of the season last year he really struggled. and i think a lot of it is as your arm strength is waning and you're a 22-year-old and you've never pitched half-way through september. that'when how to pitch, when you have nothing. you come out of the bullpen after a bad warm up, you feel like, you know, you don't want to pitch today but you have to. i have nothing in my repertoire, that's when you go out like a leave on hernandez and go seven or eight strong innings because mentally you overcome your physical ailments. >> johnny: detwer, as you mentioned rob, learning every single time he takes to e @mod. it's a arning expeence. r se hit for jonny gomes. don't forget june 11th is the dollar kids day, 2-1

hanley ramirez at second. cantu at first with a left- hander up. you see huff playing behind the runner at first. ground ball slowly at short. andino back to first. double play! just gom him. nice pivot by roberts. two men down. now, if berken can get an out, he's out of it with only the two runs. >> buck: not that sharply hit. andino shovels quickly to brian roberts. gets around to second base to first to against him. brian roberts did a heck of a job of turning it quickly. >> jim: ramirez ends up at third now with two men down. here is dan uggla, the second baseman.  dan uggla batting in the spot. he's 3-15 last, however, 2-3 hits home runs. >> buck: he's kind of an all or knot nothing guy hitting .217 with 14 bombs. he and hanley ramirez homered in the same gaft lamb night for the -- game last night for the 14th time this year. >> jim: berken deals high. you don't hear as much about dan uggla when you hear about power hitting second baseman. since 2006, he has 104 home runs more than any other second baseman

our coverage on masn hd will begin at 6:30 with "o's xtra" presented by at&t followed by the game at 7:00. for all of our crew, thanks for being with us here at camden yards, everybody. wieters, pie in the face, real solid nie. how it all happened, coming up next, "o's xtra," jim and rick right now. >>> welcome in, everybody. it's "o's xtra." how about that first major league home run, first major league rbi off the home run and his first curtain call. the orioles celebrating a victory as they beat the mets tonight to even up this interleague series at a game each. welcome back in to our picnic area. a lot of excitement here tonight. i really believe because of the wieters home run, it got the crowd into the game. everybody was waiting for that first home run hoping it would be hit here at camden yards and the young man finally came through. >> the guy who catches the ball in the grandstands gets interviewed just for catching matt wieters's first home run. it was exciting. >> that's a valuable souvenir. >> well, it is now. >> let's get a look at the highlights for tonight as matt wie

>> it was about announcing everything at once. am i understand, the timing is interesting, let's announced in january, not december. was there something critical that happened in january that made it better than december? >> a was not in agreement in december. -- there was not an agreement in december. >> among whom? >> among us, us, the federal reserve, and the treasury. >> there were discussions, but not agreement in december? >> yes. >> today and salt -- today involve the secretary of the treasury himself and the chairman of the federal reserve and yourself? >> yes, they did. >> in the agreement was let's hold off until january because we're not in agreement yet? >> we did not have an agreement, and we did not agree on all the details or the amounts. have an agreement on the details or the amounts. >> were the reports that you were reluctant to accept t.a.r.p. funds true? >> i'm sorry, i couldn't hear. >> there was a report that you did it not want to accept t.a.r.p. funding. is that correct? >> it is true that we did not think

runners at the corners with two outs. quite an at-bat by willie harris. and now a switch hitter in the catcher, josh bard. let's see what josh has done from the right side. he is 2-for-12 but does have an rbi. usually, when you call for a right handed catcher, you have wil nieves. >> rob: give willie harris here credit. >> bob: i think the struggles of austin kearns might be the reason why manny did not make a move. bard will foul it away, right side. i think of austin cannes swinging the bat well, it's almost automatic that he pinch hits there. so first and third, two outs. long top of the 8th here. in a ballgame that's already over 3 hours old. bard will get under it and fly to center. the nationals strand two runners. they have left eight in the ballgame and it stays 3-3 into the bottom of the 8th. you don't do laundry at the beach. you salt-wash everything and let it breeze dry. knit, delicate, permanent press... the ocean doesn't care. so grab your bag. coors banquet has been brewed in one place... and one place only: golden, colorado. it's followed

that's not like him at all.ed is that sinker was much better in his last game against the new york mets. 6 2/3 innings, he strowktd struck out eight batters. you heard him talk to rick kranitz about how he felt like his windup was just starting to fall into place and he delivered every pitch with the same delivery. i agree with him totally because he had some great sink on that fastball. that's what i'd love to see. >> how about the start of ricky nolasco for the florida marlins? >> well, nolasco is a little bit different. he was getting hard and has been getting hitting hard all season long. 82 hits in 61 2/3 innings. that is a lot of getting banged around a little bit. he was shaking early in april, may. he had a 2-5 record, 6.09 e.r.a. in april, 12.02 in may. in june, he's been a different pitcher now. he's backing a little now n three starts so far in june, he had a 2.50 e.r.a. and seems to be get back on track where he was last year when he was 15-8. this guy can pitch. he's just been off to a very tough st

at camden yards. of the things he has no comps at home. no free passes which means no walks. hard to believe you can't get a lot of wins when you don't walk anybody. 29 innings with less than 3 walks. he's only got two walks here at home. four no decisions and four losses in his last eight starts. that's what we really got to get koji on track and get back in that win column because we're really wasting a lot of good efforts out there. >> on the other side, it's the right-hander tim redding former national going for the mets. >> almost number one but maybe not a good way. he's got the highest e.r.a. of any starting pitcher with 100-plus innings. he's second in the major leagues, not the highest. but he is good in the first inning. in the first inning the opposition's b.a. against him is .158. they'd sure like to see him go seven or eight innings like that. >> he's only faced the orioles once in his career. that ended up being a no decision. what's the rick dempsey key to the game? >> you've got to be

whether we detain them at guantanamo or at prisons on u.s. soil does not change the fundamental reality that this administration, like its predecessor, will be holding certain individuals without trial. we've been told that guantanamo must be closed for symbolic reasons, but america should never make national security decisions based on symbolism or false moral arguments. mr. president, i hope that as we continue to debate this issue of the prison at guantanamo and as the president has been asked to provide a plan for how that base would be closed and how much it would cost and as he continues to ask congress to provide the funding to carry out that plan, that we keep in mind these critical points. the first is that you cannot legitimately make the argument that anything has occurred at guantanamo for which the united states should be embarrassed, should apologize or should at the end of the day close the facility because of some impassement that the united states has about our activities there. our soldiers who are involved in protecting our

hoover lived at the waldorf at the time. and truman and hoover had a sort of back and forth -- they had a complex relationship. truman kind of rehabilitated hoover's reputation after roosevelt died, they changed the name what was it boulder dam back to hoover dam and so they had become quite close but then in the election of 1952, truman again invoked the name of herbert hoover as comparing eisenhower to hoover. the democrats ran against hoover for 30 years and, you know, with some success so harry wasn't about to stop. so i think they had tiff at the time because there's no record the two saw each other while harry was upstairs and herbert was downstairs. and i always wonder how they managed, the staff of the waldorf must have been pins on needles all week trying to keep these two apart not to mention doug mcarthur was six floors up. they ate at all the trendy restaurants and they went to the 21 club and shortly after they got there, another diner came in. it was the governor of new york thomas dewey. [laughter] >> which pr

. - ( ding ) - book now at southwest.com. >>> back at nationals park, bruce two-run homer in the 2nd inning. when you talk about legendary players and broadcasters, there's a picture of ronny. his son a terrific guy. tom does a lot around the country. >> rob: he was the youngest player ever in the major league, world war ii, he was 15. he came up. they didn't know he was from ohio. they said hey we need a body in the big leagues. he ended up pitching that year and came back permanantly. i think the last 30 plus years he was a broadcaster with marty. he's now in the hall of fame as a broadcaster. >> johnny: started in 1967 in the booth with sullivan and jim mc tire. he finished his last year of broadcasting a couple of years ago in 2007. >> rob: i loved him. he used to come over late in the game, he was such a country boy. he'd eat ronyons right out of the fridge. he was awesome. he was one of my favorite people. he still got out there well into his 60s, batting practice. >> he loved the game. >> rob: he was a great teacher of the game. he was the type of guy -- we'd do the on dec

it was back in 1998 at the time i was working at the public radio station in st. louis and i came out to kansas city to do research for the 50th anniversary of the 1948 whistle stop campaign. and i went to the truman library and in the basement of the library there they had -- i think they still have his cars. i think they have two or three cars in the basement of the library and they have a little display of ephemera and they have his driver's license and the registration and in there they had a clipping from a magazine, i think, it was a picture of harry filling up his car and this photograph was taken in the summer of '53 when harry and bess truman were leisurely motoring eastward. and that soon after being president, he and bess had taken this trip. so i began researching the story again in 2006 and i found it to be even more fascinating than i -- than i'd hoped. mainly because the main character is so fascinating. harry truman certainly is one of the most unlikely presidents in american history. i would say the most unlikely since grover cleveland, side-bar.

so i was really kind of a great fall to the company for presenting at south so clearly at the laboratory for these things when it did it. >> host: i want to come back to the question of women because that is one of the most interesting things in the book but i want to go back to the early years because this is a work of history about wal-mart and so much of the writing about wal-mart as you mention is by economists or social scientists are other people who don't have a long view and when you to come as with a long view it as such a different picture. so one of the things that struck me in reading the book is that wal-mart grew up in a region of the country that was known as the heart of anti monopoly sentiment, a citadel of people's party and a populist movement and the fight against the chain stores in the 20s. so how did this happen? added we get to an anti chain soared to the biggest chain store in the world? >> guest: that was a shock to start looking at the early signs of not only wal-mart stores in the ozarks region of northwest arkansas and south was missouri, the kind of a redhea

don't miss this night at oriole park at camden yards. for your tickets at 888-848- bird or on-line at orioles.com. "field of dreams" one of the best baseball movies ever. nolasco has a 3-0 lead. orioles have three hits in the game. hefelix pie was caught trying to steal. the other hitter was erased on a double play ball. here is melvin mora taking a strike leading off in the fifth. >> buck: "field of dreams." kevin costner was in three of my favorite movies. "bill durham," "field of dreams," "dances with wolves." pretty good. >> jim: yeah, he knows what he's doing. "field of dreams," outstanding. >> buck: yeah, beautiful movie. have a catch. a lot of people have a question with that phrase. want to have a catch? that's what i used to say after my dad, hey, you want to have a catch, dad? >> jim: that's a tearjerker. mora, ground ball towards the hole. bonifacio has it, throws off balance and the bounce, safe at first base is melvin mora. that ball gets away from cantu, but no advancement for melvin who is on with a leadoff single. tonight

maybe he'll work at things at syracuse and be back with the ball club in no time at all. >> he was not a known commodity coming out of spring training, went around the league, amassed a five hit. now he's not pitched efficient. he's throwing 20 pitches an inning. right at # hundred pitches last night. in only five innings. his change-up is great. if you look at his earned run average over the last five starts, it's not bad, but his walks, 16, with only 8 strikeouts. so that's where he's having his troubles. getting to a lot of 3-2 counts, extending the at-bats for these hitters, then they're able to mount runs on him, and he doesn't miss very many bats either. he just doesn't strike out a lot of people. so he's a finesse pitcher with a pretty good fastball, change- up, breaking ball. i'm not sure what they're working on, but i'm sure it's throwing the ball in a better spot and making better locations. >> and he did win his first five starts for the nationals. ray and i will take a break. we'll continue with more "nats xtra pregame." gecko: uh, you wanted to see me sir? boss: come on in

>> oil prices should not be at $60. personally i believe the market is being manipulated, obviously we know that opec has a cartel that quite openly minupulates the market and it's incredible the western governments don't have a body to stand up against opec. it's one of the biggest cartels in the world and it's there to drive up prices for all of us consumers in the west, yet there's very little done about it. but i also think oil prices are being manipulated in the market and that i would say that governments need to investigate why are oil prices at $60 today when they should logically be at 25 or 30 dollars maximum. oil is a wash in boats that are sitting around the world, it is -- demand has dropped. what is going on? are governments -- are governments of oil-producing countries buying positions from wall street to try to create a false market? i mean, it's just -- it certainly needs investigating. anyway, that's the short term. longer term, i think oil will go back, will go up, it's likely to in a normal marketpla

it took him 109 pitches to go through seven at philadelphia. phillies have a 1-0 lead against baltimore. phillies have lost five in a row, but still lead the mets by 2 in the east. left field. did he get it? no. right at the barrier, about 345 feet away. josh bard, another 5 feet, and a 3-run ball game. the wind is blowing in from left field across the field. >> that didn't help. >> no. see the canadian flag out there behind the bullpen. >> martis a 1-pitch out. overbay to romero, two down. top of the order, guzman, talk about the oldest player in blue jays history. >> that's a good call for the catcher. >> hall of famer, you talked to him a couple weeks ago on your radio show. >> because he was the oldest pitcher to get the 300 games, and randy johnson the second oldest to get to 300. >> how do you win 120 games after your 40th birthday. >> because he didn't win his first until he was 26. he's a knuckle baller. >> baseball fountain of youth. guzman to the right side, overbay to the pitcher. close, inning over. nats go in order for the first ti

to work at the sub national level. these are the most impressive photographs from the eradication program. you have the director general of who, not meeting with the prime minister because that was not the key eradication but the chief minister travelling out to where she was based to understand the challenges and how do we help. in the bottom picture, here she is on the border with pakistan with the governors, the leadership of that key province. this is a picture of mr. gates's trip to nigeria, he went up north, met with the leaders of the traditional leadership, the sultan of sikoto, and he met with the nigerian governors who led the true believers to the vaccination of children in those areas. not just advocates, we talk about advocacy but advocacy at the level where it is going to make a level of getting kids vaccinated. you have to get to the subnational level and there are not a lot of mechanisms for doing it, we are not good at mapping that politically or planning out who can advocate with those players effecti

we have to look at the maglas. we have to look at the bullet trains. we have to look at improving the aseller. we can go from new york to washington in an hour and 30 minutes. we can go from new york to philadelphia in 33 minutes. we can consign the shuttle to the rusty. and by doing that we can improve east-west traffic all over the eastern seaboard. we shouldn't be flying people 500 miles or less. we should put them on high-speed trains. now reabthern asked a very important question. -- now, ranking member thorn asked a very important question. what should be given priority? i suggest we create a national infrastructure bank staffed by professionals, not necessarily professionals all of them in transportation. it could be some former members of congress. some former secretaries of transportation. and rank projects on a cost benefit analysis, rank projects on priority, what they do for transporting people, how many people, the effect on climate change. an independent ranking system. because the public wants that. the public doesn't want transportation

that is live at about 2:30 p.m.stern on c-span3. >> elizabeth warren is recognized for as much time as she may consume. >> thank you, chairwoman maloney, representatives. i appreciate the invitation to be here today on behalf of the congressional oversight panel and to be as helpful to you as i can. i should start by saying i am not scripted. since i do not have a preapproved script, you should take my comments as my comments alone and not necessarily reflecting those of the panel. i will do my best to regret -- to represent their reports, but otherwise, you are hearing from me. what is the congressional oversight panel? we are the smallest of the oversight unit here, particularly compared with the special inspector general. what we try to do is a fact based analysis of the end -- of the operations under the toxic acid relief program andy -- the toxic asset relief program. ob;we return to the same things that we started with are very first report about transparency, accountability, and clarity throughout the system.

and so now we're where we're at. and new orleans is looking at us now i think a little bit like, what did you expect? we've been there. >> if you'll just allow me for a moment. we're almost out of time. but before asking the last question, for those of you who have been here before, you know the routine. we have a couple of important marts to take care of. upcoming speakers, on june 11th general james conway, the commandant of the u.s. marines corps will be here. on june 25th, stan cass ton, president of the washington nationals will be here. i don't know if they're going to put chicken wire in front but we'll see what happens. june 26th. robert herz chairman of the financial accounting standards board will address -- financial markets. secondly if you wouldn't mind just coming up here as is our tradition we'd like to present you with the traditional m.p.c. cough -- n.p.c. coffee mug. >> thank you very much. >> one final question. that is a simple one. to what newspapers do you currently subscribe? [laughter] >> i su

as you look at willingham at second and nieves over at first. and there once again is the veteran right-hander. breaking ball down low inside. it is 2-2. >> rob: you see, they don't want to let nick get his arms extended and hit it to left field. they are playing him to pull. >> johnny: runners in scoring position for cincinnati, 2-7. the nationals 0-6. shot down the right field line, a foul by about 5 feet. >> rob: they were pitching him to pull. he hit it down the right field line, johnny. come on nick. put it in play here. >> johnny: johnson checks his bat. two balls and two strikes to nick. and the reds with a 2-0 lead, we are in the last of the 6th inning. jared burton delivers. foul off the 1st base line. burton certainly not in the class of rhodes or cordero or weathers. but still, pretty impressive outings. >> rob: he is a nice bridge to the bridge for the closer. very solid bullpen. something that has been lacking in cincinnati for many years. >> johnny: johnson base hit to right! willingham around third. here comes the throw to the pla

he got good at saving fuel at pocono on sunday.enway racing team cars have been heads above most recently. >> i think when you get into a situation and everybody runs well, and you go back with your expectations higher, it seems it always works out. i know michigan gives options to drivers, they've got three or four lanes and they'll use every one of them. in a year roush has struggled, each of their drivers has said so. they were really good at pocono. despite the fact that the results did not show it of because it ended under fuel mileage. all three of the big three of roush were up front all day. >> with nascar's new double-wide race starts should be interesting to see those on the michigan wide track. >> they're going to exploit that. if you can imagine being sixth in the old system where you lineup sixth. now you can be third on the outside. and you can take the lead going into turn three, because the car, you know, the track is so wide. so it's going to be a lot of fun to watch. >> it's a perfect track, there is so much room.

at the very end i met with a woman that acquired at the beginning and at the end she appeared.nt from the north, from hanoi, all the way down. we went out and look at u.s. battlefields, and at this point in etch 199 # i think it was vietnamese were only used to seeing american vets come back with their kids. so they treateds us -- even though we are a different kind of vet and they treated us as somebody who understood and loved their country. vamp is a beautiful place, and i urge everybody to go there i did end up meeting with a whom who i had met with as the head of he delegation in bermuda bermuda pest -- buddha pest and we had an extraordinary afternoon with her listening to her life story. >> fugitive days about the last -- a lot about you also, professor ayers book. is there a fugitive days in you? >> guest: bill's book is two arcing love stories, his relationship with diana, and then with me, and, no, i'm not writing a memoir. >> oo period. >> guest: period. i'm writing and in the sense race course is memoiristic, so i'm going to draw on my history and we have two sons w

we've been at this eight or ten years. it's been a long, long time and the support allowing theory importation of fda approved prescription drugs is very broad in the senate. i just -- senator mccain, senator grassley, senator stabenow and myself in fact president obama was a co-sponsor of the legislation last year. he has included in his budget a provision for this kind of legislation. >> will the senators please move their conversation outside? senator from north dakota. >> as i indicated, then senator obama last year was a co-sponsor of our legislation. we had over 30 senators republicans and democrats who believe the same thing and that was we ought to allow the american consumer to access fda approved prescription drugs and not from other countries, not because we want them to shop and other countries but we believe the ability to do so would put downward pressure on prescription drug prices in the country. madam president, if i might by consent jody still bottles to a describe what we are talking about this is lipito

some people were at the beach, some people were at camp, so i was at home, and you'd think that'd be the perfect time so i'd be incredibly organized. i was not. i pulled the folder where i'd put my speech and the schedule of what was going to happen in my bag, and the speech was for an event in montana. [laughter] i write the speeches separately for each event, so it was a problem. the opening of this wonderful cancer clinic in montana was something i wanted to talk about, but not here. [laughter] so this afternoon i got to rewrite the speech. so i'll probably look down a little more than i should, but i'm doing it because it was important for me to say something that was particular to what you all do. it's honestly, an immense honor for me to be with you tonight. to say that i admire you, that i applaud how you've decided to spend your lives would be a tremendous understatement. one of my favorite songs, angels among us, i feel that i'm among angels when i sit with you, and i'm amazed by that. nancy was saying that lea has a little halo over her head. i honestly think that's true of

this bill that we're considering on the floor at this time could not come at a better time. october 2, the international olympic committee will select a site for the 2016 olympic games and chicago is one of the final global candidates, one of the final four, in the world. winning that bid would bring six million tourists from all over the world into the united states and generate as much as $7 billion in tour unfortunateist . this bill will welcome international visitors to our country and demonstrate to the world that the united states is open for visitors. that can only help improve the chances that the 2016 olympic games actually come to the windy city generating $1.3 trillion in economic activity each year including 8.3 million travel-related jobs. overseas visits to the u.s. are still being hampered by the specter and memory of september 11th that costs $182 billion in lost spending by lost tourists in our country and $27 billion in lost tax receipts in eight years. the current economic downturn is expected to cost another 250,000 travelers this year and this bill addre

are out there at least. texas tech. i was at t.c.u. with bob shiefer who has the shiefer school of journalism. i brought my 10-year-old son who fell in love with a young woman down there. so if you see her, a 10-year-old lover. if there are any questions, i can't see, so if there are any questions, speak up. sir. [question inaudible] >> the question was whether penske has bought saturn. that's the first i've ever heard of it. does that mean saturn is going to be in the daytona 500? no, i'm sorry. i hadn't heard that. i'm tremendously concerned about what's happening to g.m. because i think corporate culture is really important. and if you don't change a corporate culture, then you're probably not changing the company. and i'm afraid we're trying to buck up g.m. without changing the corporate culture. i don't see anybody else so thanks very much for your attention. i appreciate it.

while at the other end of it, he's on at first base, you we go cora -- get cora at the plate, .310 offeft-handers. those are your eight and number nine and number one guys both of whom to with -- do well against the leftiies. >> jim: the reason for alex is basically he's a line drive hitter. he's not going to overswing. all the good left-handed hitters that hit left-handed pitchinghave in common is the front shoulder stays close so they can cover the plate. >> gary: he's got a base hit. markakis over to get it will hold the runner at second base. now there are two on with one away as the mets threaten to get back one or maybe both of those runs they gave up in the last half inning. >> jim: you can't come in throwing 87 miles per hour an hour if you're -- if you're a lefty to face lefty. you become too predictable especially if you throw a belt high pitch. cora was all over it. a veteran player taking advantage. castillo is 33. he just has to make better quality pitches. baez up again for the second time tonight. >> gary: martinez has drawn a walk and scored officially 0-2. two on, one

tagging up at 2nd. down to 3rd goes gonzalez. two out here in the 2nd. >> rob: we talked about needing punch in the middle of your lineup. since he went down for the reds, they're 4-6. look at that. almost every offensive category. bruce has been struggling. a lot of guys have been struggling this year. >> johnny: if you look at the batting average, nobody is above .300. nix has the highest at .277 harang quickly falls behind. >> rob: overall they've raised their team batting average. about a month ago they were hitting .215. >> johnny: fired to 1st to johnson. gets him. we go to the bottom of the 2nd 2nd. 2-0 cincinnati. we'll be back in a moment. ú boss: so you've been ing a nice job out there on car insurance. elpiy ú gecko: aw thank you,n ing a nicesir. out there boss: but i think there are a few other things you can say about what a reliable company geico is. gecko: right. uh, well maybe how geico's the third-largest car insurance company in america? nice tidbit there. boss: exactly. and i've been thinking, looking a

just like buffett did at their age. suppose from kindergarten boys and girls were needed with examples of how opportunity can be developed and managed. wouldn't our country be crowded with buffetts and ventures and fannings and wassermans, even mozarts, isn't that what this nation needs, not more zom buy, not more parasites, it isn't wild speculation, what is done is to carry your imagination back to the colonial days in ben franklin's america, where the possibilities were not created by task force of experts but by everybody getting a chance at a term, just as soon as they felt able. in an environment where possibilities were everywhere. [applause]. >> now, i want to tell you about a city that actually exists and i know a lot of you passed through amsterdam, take a couple hours off and rent a car and go to drachten, the dutch city of drachten had an immense traffic problem. it took hours to get through the small place. lots of accidents occurred, and the motorists got caught under the car and i see someone laughing who

the problem i have is that when he went and at the beginning they had an opportunity to buy these at discounted rates, yet they give the banks a dollar for dollar buyout. that is insane. we had a tremendous opportunity if you wanted to control these banks are put them into the position to have to repay money you should have gone after the good assets, not the bad. then again, you have someone who was in the banking business running it -- and that is geithner. guest: in terms of tim geithner he has been criticized for being a part of the banking industry. he has been a public servant most of his career. he worked as a career professional at the treasury and then at the international monetary fund and then president of the new york fed. so, in terms of his background -- there's a perception since he came from the new york said that he is sympathetic to the banking industry, but his background as not necessarily reflect that. the interesting thing about the calls is that clearly people are not happy with the banking industry. it is never really that popular, but when the economy goes we

the antiquities at the 1906. he said i declare this a national monument for future generations, overriding congress. the t3 is conservation is he did it with this group. congress, western senators in particular, were not reading into the federal government grabbing an area like the grand canyon and closing it off. roosevelt's conservation can be seen as he was inspired by lincoln's emancipation and the powers of the federal government. his heroes were keen on protecting yellowstone with general brant as president in 1872 and sherman and sheridan as union generals, they were hunters, but they wanted to create game reserves. roosevelt's part of that tradition also, determined to use the executive power to save wild america. >> back to the business of the archives here. are you afraid maybe that is open to others that they will discover and take away this -- that you have had this special look at this stuff? >> i want people to come. it is a campus environment. we once dollars to start looking at this. if you cannot

at least to 60 days. but where does that put them at the end of this whole process? where they have no idea what their futures are. general motors has stated for example, in its wind down agreement that they will still not be buying back two of the parts of the dealerships they are closing, and i got a wind down, it's 12 pages single spaced. it would take a team of lawyers that obviously deviced it to make it as difficult and dense as possible so no one could possibly make a decision within the 10 days they are required to make a decision. they have to sign it within the 10 days or they are closed down with no assistance whatsoever. there's been no detailed accounting or disclosures in the companies that will result until dramatic safings. it's interesting to note washington business journal noted dealers who paid for the inventory, shipping of the inventory from the front of cost of warranty work, purchase repair equipment and parrots, they also stated the -- the automake saved some additional expenses by having ad in my opinion straightive costs to oversee but that

you've been at this a long time.'ve had a lot of -- >> jim . i jus mean% thingsare going wel %- >> rob: i'm very suspicious. >> jim p.: you go talk to tony, and if he lose that night, he goes, i can't talk to you. >> rob: that's the same thing about doing radio. if somebody goes ito a sl they i'mnotcoming  yoursow moe %- you inasump. >> bob: don't dare ask a hitter who is going good what he's doing. >> jim p.: no. >> rob: they don't want to know their earned run average. >> bob: 3-1 to jones who fouls one off on the right side. >> jim p.: he'd have a better series if he thook base on balls. that is the difference. you hit almost .360 in the mmay, high .280s. right there i think you getting aggressive and you start swinging at balls. that's how you get yourself out. >> bob: he hits the ball extremely hard but rht at ronny belliard for the first out here in the third. it would be markakis and huff the next two hitters. >> rob: i played with reggie jackson who h

bernanke, i guess i come at this differently than my friend from utah. i guess i'm interested who was threatening whom. what point did you learn from mr. lewis the deal with merrill lynch, loops, had a $12 billion of a hadn't realized in doing their due diligence. >> december 17th. >> i can't hear you. >> december 17th when he called secretary paulson. >> and wind in retrospect to your knowledge did they learn they have a 12 million-dollar problem? >> they claim they haven't known any earlier than the 14th of december and that we have no direct evidence to the contrary. >> were you concerned about the lack of due diligence? >> we did have concerns, yes. >> did you take it as a threat or do you think -- did you take it as a threat or did other senior officials perhaps discuss it as a threat in plight or otherwise that mr. lewis far from being a victim was actually manipulating the federal government that we are going to back out of this deal because the 12 billion-dollar problem we didn't catch and less in exchange we get some assurance thus t.a.r.p. mone

in comparison, virgin atlantic is capped at just over 3%. yes, a striking difference which shows no one can replicate their scale. loose time we said b.a. and a.a. would hold the dominant share of peak hour slots at heath row. nothing has changed. these slots are essential to the competitiveness of transatlantic services. b.a. was gifted many of those when it was privatized. no other carrier can get anywhere close to competing. last time we said that b.a. and a.a. would have an insurmountable lock on key airport pairs, nothing has changed. in fact, their market share has increased further since 2001. at the moment, they compete against each other on six key routes from heathrow, giving them im community would change all this. according to the official air lied guide up to the end of march, 2009, b.a./a.a. controlled 100% of all heath row dallas ft. worth capacity, 80% of heathrow boston, 70% of hooet row/miami, 64 of hooeingt row chicago, 64% of heathrow new york and 47% of heathrow los angeles capacity. given severe constraints at heathrow,

when we look at the worksite, we're engaging the employers that we cover to look at the cafeterias that they have. to make recommendations about what foods should be there, how they should subsidize the items that they serve there. what kind of vending machines do they have in place? this is not about having a single bullet. this is about being very comprehensive in how you think about care. when we think about the community, we do things that are unusual for health insurance company. we were the major advocate for smoking cessation in hour state. we have beat tobacco, we took that money and plowed that back into taking the smoking rates down. we also do things like complete streets, where we advocate for sidewalks, bike paths, safe crossing guards, things that a health company would think about as opposed to perhaps an insurance company. : >> and back to the employer who is delivering that care. so it absolutely has a return, and it's absolutely critical. minnesota has a 17% smoking rate. the country has a 22% smoking rate. blue cross blue shield of minnesota has a 10.9% smoking rate.

and we at the faa you would look at to think. is a particular pilot showing or exhibiting a an excessive failure rate and a short training program, maybe the training program itself based. >> i would rather take a chance to. >> well that what you have to do is training review boards at some of the carriers, and i think what you are going to see us move toward is maybe everybody should be doing that. maybe the review, if one particular pilot is failing over and over again, that's not acceptable. and i think we do need to deal with that. >> yeah, is there any concern about the population in the towers, you know, newark for instance. required 36 fully trained controllers in the power we have to wait six or 27, seven of them are controlled in training. as we all know, we have a fantastic aviation system. we have lots of brilliant people doing things, but we don't have enough. and if you were to go into the operating room with a radiologist short, you wouldn't say that's good for the patient. are we concerned enough, mr. administrator

>> yes, we certainly looked at that. i think it's an interesting point even though as the federal government's borrowing has skyrocketed, that the u.s. current account deficit, which is essentially a measure of the amount of borrowing be do from abroad, is actually lower today than it's been in some years, which suggests that the increase in federal borrowing has been substantially offset by a decline in private borrowing as banks and households deleverage. so, in a sense of there being an availability, there is an availability of credit to meet the needs of the u.s. governments and other governments. that being said, as i mentioned in my testimony, in order to make lenders willing to continue to finance us at reasonable interest rates, we do have to persuade them that we are serious about returning to a more balanced fiscal situation going forward. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much for your testimony. mr. ryan? >> thank you, chairman. good to see you again, chairman. let's talk about our deficit and debt. the cbo, th

he voted for reagan at least once, maybe twice. >> once. >> he was sort of a young republican at that point, right? >> well, you have to remember his real hero is richard nixon and this is primarily because he's a son of a serbian immigrants and most immigrants at that point were republican when they came to the united states number oneuuz because th were very angry at roosevelt and -- roosevelt and -- [inaudible] >> well, eisenhower -- but what happened at yalta, in essence, they felt the many serbs felt yugoslavia had been given away by the iron curtain by the democratic leadership so they -- and they really loved general dwight d. eisenhower because he had liberated the prison camp, german prison camp that rode blagojevich found himself in. he had been captured and spent four years in a nazi prison camp so many serbs including rode blagojevich were staunch republicans. and that affection for dwight d. eisenhower passed on to richard nixon. so in this blagojevich home where only serbian was spoken, the republicans were the party of choice. his mother had been born in the united stat

auto industry-- i look at detroit and i look at the federal policies of the last 30 years. i look at union demands and i look at the corporate dealership and that sort of iron triangle which is crushed and was already on its way down before last year. is there ever going to be a u.s. auto industry again in detroit, the old style? i know bmw is then greenville in spartanburg. it is there a situation, tax policy, regulatory policy and all the rest, that is ever going to allow that industry to flourish again? >> real quickly, i sure hope so. i have always thought an american car. i just wrote a column about the subject. a beautiful red camaro convertible, by midlife crisis car but i want america, i don't want those jobs to disappear and it is important i think that we have, it is not final but we be good to have an auto-- american on the manufacturing industry. we are now at the precipice of basically having three groups running the auto industry. the united states government, the united autoworkers and the sierra club and folks that is a prescription for disaster. the problem

while you are at it, mr.cohen has represented that none of this is being outsourced beyond the united states in terms of the regional carriers. i am confident it is being outsourced beyond the united states for the large commercial carriers. does your association have a number of what percentage of that maintenance is being outsourced? i don't -- i'm sure we had the answer to that. i don't happen to have it within. i would be happy to provide. >> if you have it that would be terrific. it has been a very difficult -- the information is difficult to come by from the faa. they have not i don't think prioritized looking at this issue, and i don't think the american flying public realizes to what extent maintenance has been outsourced in an effort to cut costs, and what one of the problem is in that many of these places there are not even alcohol or drug testing. it seems weird to me that we have domestic certified repair stations, and because we don't have as many of them anymore because so many have been outsour

it is a book that looks at pearl harbor, looks at fear of using government, it looks at what happenedter the kennedy assassination with huge literature, on that and it comes up to 9/11, it's a wonderful read in something that i think unfortunately will never go away. this is an author is but a lot of time and used that for her research. >> what comes naturally. >> what comes naturally i am thrilled to say is winning two words of this conference call with his father worked for 20 years on the book about miscegenation law issues, then she thought which he started it was a reliable and topical issue and she thought by the time to finish it shouldn't be so unusual anymore. and shouldn't be something that people still have an issue about, this is above that travels from the civil war right up to the present and those of the many different groups that have been defined as non-white and the laws that have been made and against all sorts of the union's and love relationships and the society and how people got basically taken to court and other people just what their race was. and she tries th

at this point, we are spending billions of dollars, billions. and i said how does that work and he said well, we are auditing the work and contracts in iraq from alexandria va, which explained why, you know, it's reflected in your own report explains why we are having such a problem. and now i read again from the kennedys memo we've got four folks in the country spending billions of dollars. we have to add the blogger mer force base and two down in kandahar and that's it. and if we don't get a handle on it with boots on the ground, people competent enough to review these contracts, this is a criminal. it's criminal. you know, there is nobody that would operate like this in a private basis if we were spending private corporate dollars this wouldn't be happening. i think it's happening only because we are spending taxpayer dollars and people feel that it doesn't have to be audited to that degree. we are terribly sloppy in iraq and afghanistan and have got to tighten our act. what do you see as the greatest need in terms of getting some accountabil

the question is, at what point are you trying to reflect public opinion and educate the public and athat point are you manipulating? at what point are you trying to actually convince people you're doing the opposite of what you're doing when the words you choose are actually trying to conceal the fact that you're not keeping your promises, you know, and are not in touch. it's when you cross that line and, you know, when you do, you know -- you just take a bunch of policies, which one test the highest and, you know, we'll focus on those kinds of policies, then i think you're diminishing politics, you know, for the public. you're not being really responsive -- >> what do you mean picking policies that pop up but you take the side of. if they are sufficiently supported by the population to pop out, why wouldn't you want to -- why is paying attention to what people want, it through a tea party or a response in a poll just because it's not -- wasn't on your agenda sometimes leaders, followers are the leaders so why -- why has it become automatically nefarious or manipulative? >> it depends
