to roosevelt china was like a big old barn that was collapsing and would have nothing to say about theuture of asia. he wrote off 400 million chinese based on a theory and thought that other powers more potent powers as he said, would come in and fill the gap. the chief potent power that would fill the gap on the asian mainland were the japanese, because roosevelt's theory told him that japan was a rising rates, a rising civilization. japanese diplomats who had been to harvard, just like roosevelt, approached him and said mr. roosevelt, justice japan is a separate country geographically, separate from asia, we are also culturally different. we are a different race. look at those chinese the japanese said to roosevelt. they are stilling wearing pony tails and long rove's. they have not militarized. look at this japanese. we have strong telephone wires, we have roads all over the country. we are the only asian country that his westernized. were wearing bricks brothers suits. wiesen their best to harvard. we are a different. we are assimilating american culture and you can trust us to bri

my friends on the other side of the aisle seem intent on kicking the barn door down. in my view, that's not victory. doing nothing, delaying, obfuscating, saying "no," "no" to everything, blocking the ability of this chamber to fulfill its duty to the people is no victory. saying no to funding our troops serving bravely overseas in iraq and afghanistan is hardly victory. delaying it is hardly victory. saying no to funding medical care for military men and women and their families is not a victory. it is shameful delay of needed care. saying no to 120 million for traumatic brain injury and psychological health research at a time when so many of our troops are coming home from iraq and afghanistan with such injuries is by no means a victory. saying no to funding necessary funding to train and equip afghan security forces so that they can stand up for their own country and get our people out is contrary to the president's surge policy which our friends on the other side of the aisle have publicly supported. imagine, imagine if the tables were turned and it were democrats

any old mule can kick down a barn door, but it takes a carpenter to build one. we have been working for over a year -- almost a year to build this health care reform package. and here's what we know. we just received a report from the congressional budget office, which is like the referee up here. this is an agency that takes a look at what we do and tells us whether it is going to reduce the deficit, add to the deficit, reach its stated goal or fail to reach it. it's maddening sometimes to have a separate agency kind of looking over your shoulder, but they do, and they just reported, just yesterday, that this bill will make health insurance more affordable for many americans and will not add to the costs for many others. i wish it would do more. i wish it would bring down costs dramatically, even more. but for weeks and months we have heard from the republican side that our health care reform proposals would run premiums sky high. turns out they were wrong. this bill that we have produced moves us toward more affordable health insurance. every american who pays

barn was asking for testing for quite a long time but the problem always is finding the evidence.in dallas, texas, where there have been more dna exonerations than any city in the country, the main reason for is it that they can find the evidence. it's also lead to the creation of a wonderful conviction integrity unit in the dallas district attorney's office that really assists the innocence project in trying to get people out. but it's finding the evidence that's the biggest problem. >> reporter: now you said mr. bain was trying to get people to look at it and that leads to an obvious question. how easy or difficult is it to get a court to take a new look at dna evidence? >> well, when mr. bain started doing this, it was very difficult. we had a lot of trouble in florida getting courts to allow dna testing. we had one case that went up and down through the system, will ton dedge. finally florida has created a post conviction dna statute and now 48 states have such statutes on the books. and the federal government has one as well. but when we started this work, there were no state

barnes & noble in new york city host the hour-long event. >> good evening, everyone.i am portia and i am the editor of the 35th anniversary edition of the black book. in 1974, toni morrison was a senior editor at random house and "the black book" was her project. and she described the purpose of the book to create something that might last, that would bear witness to the quality and the variety of black life. well, thank you all for being here. doctor bill cosby's original introduction opened, supposedly command, a 300 euros blackmun had decided to say when he was about 10, to keep a scrapbook, a record of what it was like for himself and his people in these united states. well, this is that a scrapbook, and everyone associated with it has been inspired by the more than 500 articles, photographs and posters data contained. from doctor morrison, who was inspired to write but love it from an article on page 10. it was written in 1856 entitled a visit to the slave mother, killed her child. the esteemed collector's morris levitt, roger berman, an obvious he burnet smith w

at that time there was a large -- we call it a barn sign campaign poster for obama in the front window at 2609 canal street there at the national headquarters of acorn. do you happen to remember if it was still there the day you went in to serve those warrants? >> i haven't seen. we've been by that location a few times over the past few months. and i have never seen that sign. i'm not saying it wasn't there at one point. so that's probably been for at least a couple of three months. i did not see any political campaign signs. >> put it on the floor in a poster often enough i imagine that was an inspiration for them to pull it down before you arrive with your subpoena. just a little aside for my own information. but you also mexicoed in your oral testimony that there were documents that you had formerlily subpoenaed in the blanket i'll call it a raid on acorn's headquarters in new orleans. are you at liberty to tell us what documents they did not produce when they were specifically subpoenaed? >> well, we really to be honest with you didn't get that far. because we issued a subpoena. an

on the it the best to read is "the new pro harbor," which you can get a barnes and noble. host: let me ask you, what would be the government benefit about lying to us about 9/11? caller: number one, you cannot bring the building down in 10 seconds, other than blowed up with demolition and side of the building -- you would not have just dust at the bottom of the heap, but chunks of concrete about the size of the building. was it 6000 people who are dying now from the dust around the building who worked as zero site? host: why with the government do this? would be their benefit? caller: if you will read their books and look at911 in plain sight, it will show you what happened in. why host: tom. caller: there was a big policy speech last night. there were four democratic guest and only one republican. what is up with that? i disagree with barack obama because if you want to make a commitment to the troops make the commitment, don't shut it down in 18 months. afghanistan helped to launch this attack against the u.s. ventura is a confirm nut. i have only four democratic guests

third, the pottery barn china shop argument. you indicated, you own it, they would be fractious and difficult to hold together and would be a prolonged obligation and forth it would divert resources from the important struggle against al qaeda. in afghanistan. so those are theç key planks of their argument. i don't have time to go over this because my time is up. i would say of all the arguments adopted to of the decisions i talked about, this one looks best in hindsight. that's sad, it is very dear friend in many other arguments you hear now. very different from the arguments you hear around but nonetheless it is relatively -- the final thing i will know about it, in some ways it connected to the scholars on theory. that is to say, the scholars and they were making this analysis disconnected them sounds in many ways from their previous intellectual investments in grand theory an explanation. so to conclude in going over my time, i was a over all this coli performance in these three episodes is not a mesa, it is after the attac

louis at barnes hospital connected with washington university there. i mean, he's trying his best to keep this going, but he's battling this insurance company that said no. this bill gives people that i've just described a fighting chance. it gives them a chance to fight against the discriminatory wrong decisions of health insurance companies. is that worth anything is it worth it? i've yet to see an amendment from the other side of the aisle that does this. we used to call it a patients bill of rights and it used to be a bipartisan issue. senator john mccain joined with senator kennedy and the two worked on this saying that patients in america have the right to fight insurance companies that turn them down because of preexisting conditions, that turn them down because the cost of care is -- is so high. that turn them down because they lost a job or turned them down because their child reaches the age of 24. this bill provides protections for those protections for people. when people said, you know, i heard governor dean, i like him. howard is a friend

you going to sell the barn? can't do that. you need the tractor. and i think that just represents the plight of our farmers with that type of tax. . mr. akin: i have a nephew working on a dairy farm in upper new york state. and if you have to sell half of that, even if you could, sell half the could yous, half the farm, -- half the cows, half the farm, it no longer works. you have to cut the business in half and give half to the federal government. how are we going to have jobs and a strong economy? first off, we have the death tax, dividends, capital gains, all of those are expiring and going being back, which are going to have an opposite effect on the economy than it did a couple of years ago. then on top of that, we spent $780 billion in that silly stimulus bill and $780 for the bailout and another big tax increase in the history of the country for global warming, an energy tax, along with tons of red tape that go along with it and telling everybody in the country they have to have an electrical outlet in their garage for their golf cart. there

and, obviously, everybody now that the horse is out of the barn want to shut the gauge. you can't spend $2.5 trillion on a new entitlement program and claim to be fiscally responsible or say that you're doing something to reduce the deficit. the c.m.s. actuary actually said that the medicare cuts are unlikely to be sustainable on a permanent basis. we all know around here that we're not going to cut a trillion dollars out of medicare when -- over the first 10 years when it's fully implemented. that just doesn't happen here. and so what happens? all that money is going to get borrowed. it's going to get put on the debt or they're going to have to raise taxes to pay for it. you can't have it both ways. as we get into the debate about the debt limit, i think it's important to put things into context. i want to say again $132 billion savings, which is what they're saying they get by this health care reform bill with all of the tax increases and the medicare cuts, is suspicious in the first place given the fact that the s.g.r. $200 billion isn't included, the $72 billion clas
