you know global warming denied, there would never be any way to move forward with initiatives, and berman tell initiatives. so instead we had discussions that this was 100% and then when we all found out that in fact it was the rebound was much much greater than i think the initiae cover-up is greater than the crime. you know, if it's a scientific community there was more honesty from the outset, i think our people would feel comfortable saying okay 93%, that is a figure that i can feel pretty confident with, then oh wadewait, why were they lying to me about this and then is it going to go from 93% to 84% to 74%? why should i now start to believe them when they tell me that this is true? so, and that is also something happening with vaccines. there is any fear about accurately communicating the risks to the public. and people have negative reactions to vaccines. there is no question about that. people have negative reactions to seatbelts. a certain number of people every year die because their sternum is crushed because of a seatbelt. i will always wear a seatbelt because you you now, how

there are reports last night -- russell berman -- tha writes about it for "hill" before we talk aboutt, talk about the overall tea party influence. guest: there's a big influence, especially with the freshmen members in the house republican caucus. when the house republicans first came out with a budget number, the tea party freshman demanded even deeper cuts than that. that influence has carried over into these final negotiations where we are now. host: as far as the numbers go, give us what both sides are presenting. guest: the good news is they seem to be making some progress in getting closer to the number that is the target now. that is $33 billion in cuts from current spending from 2011 for the rest of the year. that goes through the end of september. there are a lot of questions and sticking points that remain. chiefly, some of these policy provisions that you mentioned, defunding the health care law, preventing funding for regulations for the epa, and planned parenthood. all those things have yet to be decided. we do know that they have seemed to have settled on this $33 billi

ahead of that, john berman has been tracking the candidates' latest moves. he is here this morning.> good morning, george. this is one of those momentous days in politics. what's being called the first republican cattle call in the key state of iowa. it's the meeting of iowa state and freedom coalition. what the candidates appearing there have in common? for the most part, they aren't official candidate, yet. >> reporter: waukee, iowa. today's world headquarters for republican candidates not running for president who are actually running for president. pawlenty, santorum, gingrich. who had us on the edge of our seats. >> because of our concern for the future of the country. >> reporter: with the dramatic announcement that -- >> we are today establishing a website. >> reporter: a website? how about the arguable front-runner, mitt romney in new hampshire who had us on the edge of our seats. >> it's going to take more than a good speech to put americans back to work. >> reporter: with the dramatic announcement that -- >> it's going to take a new president of the united states. >> repor

john berman is here.get in the car, and, boy, the rage. >> reporter: people do amazing things in their car. there is real outrage over this tragic story. as you said, there's a 25-year-old woman in a coma after this fight over a parking space. call it parking rage. the question is, could it happen to anyone? in "fried, green tomatoes," it was kind of funny when kathy bates went bonkers, after getting edged out of a parking space. but in real life, parking rage can be as menacing as kathy bates, in "misery." this new york city man faces felony assault charges, after he punched a 100-pound woman, who was standing in the space he wanted. she was saving a space for her boyfriend. now, she's in a coma. >> when nobody would think anything would happen, to go this far. >> reporter: oscar fuller says the evidence will prove he was acting in self-defense. >> she hit first. and just like we know, there's cameras everywhere inside new york city. >> reporter: she is still in the hospital. doctors have removed part of

that's why we have john berman to go through all of the tape.stories. >> reporter: that's right, george. good morning to you. there's so many developments every minute in this story. in a tsunami, it can take days, even weeks, to piece together exactly what happened during those few harrowing moments when the tsunami hit. why did some people survive? where did people go? and what is left? this is what it looks like when a wave of unfathomable size crashes, on thousands of lives. this is what it looks like when a town is washed away. minamisanriku. a town of some 18,000 people. half lived within a couple miles of shore. one of the only buildings still recognizable, the hospital, five stories high. with a boat now resting on the second floor. when the tsunami warning went off, there were 100 patients inside. >> translator: we can help less than half. maybe one-third of our patients. there was no time to save the rest. >> reporter: they told people to clear the first three floors. but the wave was so big, it washed through four. >> translator: befo

i have to do this because paul berman says this much better than i ever could. he has this exhaustive study of ramadan and he says, what is his final message with respect to terrorism? it is a message in four parts. first, he condemns terrorism. then he wants to understand terrorism, but not justify it. the third step is key to understand terrorism so tenderly that he ends up justifying it -- he understands at terrorism so tenderly that he ends up justifying it. at the fourth is that he's so supportive of it that he encourages it. that is a big part of the problem i see in a lot of this intellectual debate. when you talk about these groups and the differences they have between them, how much of it is rhetoric and for the time and occasion and how much it is that i -- how much of it is idealistic. >> i would suggest that ramadan could not have gotten to the point as described in that book without growing up in europe. it is beyond a shadow of a doubt the man would not merely be as personally vain or boring if he had not spent so many years in switzerland. he woul

. >> think you, chairman lee berman, ranking member collins, senator brown. thank you for the opportunity to speak about our efforts to effectively share information at every level of government. thank you for your attention to information sharing reform efforts in your support of my office's mission. i also want to recognize myself up at -- fellow panelists, key partners in the government wide effort to further strengthen information sharing and protection. as the wikileaks story emerged concerns were voiced that the information sharing efforts would suffer a setback. this administration is committed to strengthening bell information sharing information protection. while complex and challenging, we don't see these goals as conflicting. guidance throughout the executive branch has been consistent. we need to accelerate information sharing and irresponsible and secure way. the wikileaks breach is not principally about information sharing and information sharing challenges. a bad actor allegedly violated that -- trust placed in him. we can and must take this op
