he is the billy graham of iran. in 1979 he and his wife for mayor radical muslims on the streets of iran. and in 1979 with millions of other muslims, they were shouting death to america, death to america. a little time passed and he thought maybe not death to america quite yet. we would like to go to graduate school in southern california. [laughter] the promised land. so, amazingly they got visas, got accepted to school and they came and then they started going through culture shock and whether shot in food shock. they felt disoriented. their marriage started breaking up and then his wife thought, met some christian wimmer who invited her to go to church. and she became a follower of jesus christ. her husband was not that happy with her. as a radical american, that to america kind of guy. but he thought, she is nicer now. maybe i ought to go visit this church and find out what the heck is going on. so she goes-- he goes and becomes a follower of jesus christ. [applause] and, he now has a television ministry, and sa

. >> what were the roles of norman vincent and billy graham? >> they were actually crucial as part of nixon's strategy. graham moved to europe in the summer but continue to hold meetings in europe of leading protestant evangelical leaders strategizing about how we can beat this catholic i. one of the things that came up was to host a meeting in washington, d.c., and early september at the mayflower hotel, one of the large hotels there, and peel chaired the meeting. it was a secret meeting. 150 clergy were there and they strategize the whole day about how to plot against kennedy. them media infiltrator that meeting and then there was an impromptu press conference afterward that just absolutely exploded. at that point and john kennedy was on his first campaign trip in california, which was going abysmally. and it went off like a bombshell when the kennedys lord that people like billy graham and were organizing millions of protestants around the country to vote against him. kennedy actually had an informant inside that meeting who told him and tol

the thing about billy bean, he does not mind turning his roster over. >> the one thing we've seen withan in the past is he doesn't trade his pending free agents, tejada, giambi they kept here until the end and then utilized the draft picks. they don't make midyear changes even though they might lose someone to free agency. >> curveball to a strike. evens the count, 2-2. >> matt holliday didn't think so. he took a good look at it and is talking to bruce directman about it. >> that's inside. ball three. so back to back hiters, he's gone 3-2. and the athletics try to get on the board. cabrera at 2nd, cust at 1st and only one down. runners are moving and the pitch is low, ball four. so hill has walked back to back hitters, bases loaded now and still only one man down. >> this has been a problem for the orioles in this series, giving up first inning runsch they gave up 6 on friday night and one last night and here a 3- 2 pitch is low, just out of the strike zone. and then the curveball inside misses. once again up with the changeup, the curveball catches the top part of the strike and the f

there is billy koch threw 100 and threw it straight and he was very hittable at times.able to locate corners, pick your spots. there you see a great slider but, still, 95 up in the zone, these guys can hit that. and as you said, scott rolen is one of the hot he is hitters in baseball right now. >> bob: 2-2. >> rob: so is this guy. >> bob: no swing chris c. b. bucknor. that's big because now the count goes to 3-2 and the runners will be moving. >> rob: i think he got him. pretty much broke the plane to me. there you see him. a little side angle. >> bob: we have to do it again. got him that time. the blue jays tied the game. two runs and four hits. since 1873, coors banquet has been brewed in one place... and one place only: golden, colorado. it's followed one tradition: use the best high-country barley... and only rocky mountain water. and it's been brewed under one motto: never compromise. now maybe this means we're a little set in our ways. but we know a few guys who will drink to that. coors. the banquet beer. . >> bob: nationals baseball o masn brought to you in pa

worked with, i was simply say this without going into a long story about it -- we get a chance to billyreen economy now and i hope dr. king would be proud of it, we don't have to bill a green economy the way our grandparents might have a where we are blind to our native american brothers and sisters, blinded to people who are born elsewhere, blind to people who have maybe been behind bars in the disenchants. we can bring them into our circle of moral concern, that's the first inning and in the book we talk about equal opportunity chemical protection and and reverence for all creation that we want to stop looking and people disposable, as nations that are disposable. there is a connection between thinking we have a disposable people and disposable planet. it is no surprise to me that the united states which has only 4 percent of the world's population has 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and has 25 percent of the world's prisons. one ad of every four people locked up anywhere in the world are locked up in the u.s. prisons. it's mostly for nonviolent offenses, mostly low-income peopl

very proud to be standing with lee ledbetter sitting right behind president obama when he signed the billy ledbetter law as his first act. -- we lilly ledbetter law as his first act. judge sotomayor will act on the mold of the conservative activists on the court now who have legislation designed to protect americans from discrimination, their jobs and voting. laws meant to guarantee the access of americans to health care. laws meant to protect the privacy of all americans from overreaching government. when those lost are in place -- windows laws are in place in the conservative strike them down, are they not the same activists they tell us to avoid? it took a supreme court to understand the real world to take these seemingly doctrine of separate but equal, what could sound more fair? but in reality it is a straitjacket, it was offensive to the constitution and allow the segregation, and all americans have come to respect what the supreme court did in brown versus board of education to end this racial discrimination. but just two years ago in the seattle school desegregation case, and nearl

he rode about billy's death by writing about his life. the next question? >> i was wondering if you could comment on but please relationship to his alma mater? yelas? yale? of course, very critical of aspects of the education in the late 1940's and that he received there. did his feelings the ball in any way over the years? to the best of my knowledge or all of his prominence i do not know the was ever honored by gail but perhaps you could set me straight on that? >> yale was founded 17 o one so they had a try centennial and there was a big thing. i did not go to a but there was a celebration of the famous alumni and things that were produced and bill told us afterwards he said i shared the stage with big bird. [laughter] so that says that he went to this and was a part of the us. certainly there were yale institutions by merely "the daily news". >> [inaudible] >> okay. there is that to. by the cared about and kept touch with four years to also go back to the old political union of which she had been a

billy still in the minors. towns end never really signed with the orioles. >> it's tough. i do agree with one thing joe jordan happened to say. when you go into these drafts, look for as much pitching as you can possibly get unless you have a young guy that sticks out who is going to fill a role that absolutely have to have somebody in. then you just go for pitching. if you can develop pitching and most pitching you can develop the better off you are because they're starting to get stacked up here with the orioles. three pretty good pitcher in the minor leagues. when you start -- when they all get here to the major leagues and you can't put them all in a starting role, you might be able to take a pitcher and get any position player you want if that guy can stay on the mound for 25 starts at the major league level. >> matt has struggled so far in his first week in the big leagues. but there have been a lot of other players that have gone in the big leagues. adam jones after 32 games batting .216. dustin was the mvp last year and justin moore turned out to be an excellent fi

the net know, the publisher billy doesn't but sometimes readers will appear in but i wouldn't presume to write about another country of mind. on a qualified. i struggle enough to write about my own country and try to get an accurate and with mexico especially well as q speaks spanish my spanish is a wretched so it would be inaccurate. i would not try it. >> what about canada? >> are you canadian? >> one more question. >> i wouldn't presume to read about canada either. the canadians get annoyed enough with us without having american get presumptions and try to start telling them about canada -- thou be disastrous i think karen one more. >> i am from new hampshire, you used in blue highway what do you try to dig to do your story is? >> we are a four-cylinder family. i know when to give any plans here but we are four-cylinder people [laughter] >> your blue highways book is one of the most pleasurable i have ever read the and i go at journeying to a lot of authors of which i have forgotten their names. however, i have never forgotten your name. if you don't mind my asking, what is the ori

that is just what they feel like billy knew for. it makes no sense. if you're not so well off and you are under 65 and you do not have medicare, you pay a lot more if you have no insurance then you do if you have insurance. the insurance companies negotiate you have to pay a certain amount for any particular procedure. the hospitals can charge whatever yothey want. the system is insane. i'm glad you called in. that's a perfect example of how little sense our current system makes. host: a previous caller asked how hospitals would change under either of these programs, primarily what the obama administration wants to do. >> if you continue with a private entrance, hospitals will continue to do what they're doing. if you continue to keep that insurance, you will continue to get the rat's nest of unintelligible bills. if you are in a public plan like medicare, if you choose that option, you will get a bill that reflects what the government and the hospital and negotiates, just like they do under medicare. people say that means the government will tell you

so high that you almost never get prevention services, it put off going to a doctor until you are billy sick because of the out-of-pocket expenses, let's change some of those incentives so you get more people being prevention, more people getting healthcare to keep them healthy as opposed to just treating them when they get sick. i think we can come up with a sensible, common-sense way that is not disruptive, that still has room for insurance companies and the private sector, but that does not put people in a position where they are potentially bankrupt every time they get sick. how this debate is going to evolve over the next eight weeks, i am very open-minded. if people can show me here is a good idea and here's how we can get it done, and it is not something i have thought of, i am happy to steal people's ideas. i am not ideologically driven one way or another about it. [applause] the one thing i do think it's critically important is for self-employed people and small business people who do not have the best ability to pool their health insurance risks -- part of the reason that typi

it's happened with billy mar taind the yankees a few times.ton and see guy -- when they replaced st. claire with mccatty, they said one of the reasons was he's more old school. you can't get more old school than cito gaston who twice has been propoamented -- promomented -- promoted. >> zimmermann has never faced this ball club before. i wonder how much time do they spend going over a scouting report for someone they don't see throughout the regular season. >> that's all the guys. >> scouting report, right? >> exact e. unless they face these guyssometimes in the minor leagues, obviously toronto has players that have come up through the national league as do the nationals t.d comes down to scouting report and video. resource that weren't available 30 or 40 years ago. i'm not sure they'll be surprised by anything that zimmermann throws up there. as we've seen in the last several starts, zimmermann, it doesn't seem to be you ad by anybody. >> i don't know but. the last couple of days since the yankee win thursday night than last night, i've had mo

billie khakis: thank -- mr. bilirakis: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise today in support of this resolution which expresses our condolences and sympathy for the people of italy following the terrible loss of life which occurred in the central abruzzo region last april which was struck by powerful earthquake. tragedy the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck in the early morning of april 6 killed over 250 people. tens of thousands more were left homeless. as their family properties were destroyed. over 15,000 buildings, rich in culture and history, were obliterated in just moments by the powerful shocks. i note that despite the danger from the strong aftershocks after the earthquake, heroic italian rescue workers nevertheless entered the unstable buildings at risk to themselves and pulled over hundreds of survivors to safety. mr. speaker, when we think of italy, our first thoughts are of the beauty, the history, the culture, and especially the warmth and kindness of its people. as a nation, america also has

billy gilman is an import moment in american history but also in moment was really gave rise to a sense hopefulness that there would be any future coming out of the ashes of world war i. >> susan with oxford university press, a couple of their new titles. >> we're at the 2009 book expo american booksellers convention in new york city, at the booth of blum's perry and walker books, the family of books and i'm here with peter miller. peter, what you have coming out this fall? >> the most ambitious and exciting is the one over my soldiers is a graphic novel. we don't who normally publish is but we decided to do this one because this is an historical biography of bertrand russell and as crazy as that sounds it is an interesting novel of ideas and the two people behind it are mathematicians and computer science experts so they decided to sort of a approach the idea of the foundation of mathematics and the lice -- the life of version russell as told in comic-book form because to them when a big idea of what he was pursuing was actually as a heroic and the life and death as anything you find i

he said, listen, i was a young pitcher and played for billy pleater and i made a lot of mistakes. he said not only that, the adversity that goes with it when you make those mistakes. so i'm going let them learn on their own. he likes their arms, likes their make-up. there you go. this is -- it is almost like you want to work for state farm because you have to be an adjuster. you get them out the first time, and the second time, and then they're making adjustments. you're just learning how and what you need to do. >> bob: i think a lot of that goes to what rob talked about earlier. our pitchers up until recently they were tipping their entire hand, their entire repertoire that first time through. here is melvin mora, washington in double play depth. that ball into right center in front of dukes, and baltimore will lead 3-1. ross detwiler got the ball up in the first inning. he kept it down in the second and the third, but the orioles are flairing line drives off of him right now. >> jim: and elijah dukes takes one of the drop steps. he didn't get a good read. i think we'll see the

the teddy bear stayed up, the billy possess so many went nowhere. people thought they could take the magic from t.r. somehow, there were no coattails. taft has become a very victimizedperson in history, ranks low as president and roosevelt didn't help him any even though he knew taft was a man of integrity. >> let's do a little history. 1909 william howard taft becomes president. the 1912 presidential race and the reason i get to that is because mindora, i remember seeing the shirt with the bullet hole in it. >> yes. >> that's an assassination attempt you don't hear much about. what's that story? >> roosevelt was running as the third party candidate, the bull mooser against woo throw wilson and william howard taft. he went to give a speech in milwaukee and a crazed anarchist took a shot at him and he was bleeding. now what people -- he had such bad eyesight, roosevelt, that he had always carried bird glasses with him in his pocket and he had a thick script in there, papers, and he had his case, metal-like case with this bird so he could see the colo

special operations disabled veteran who was poisoned in iraq did to uranium shells and i have grown at billy disenfranchise with the government especially the government line to us that still denying my medical condition was related to my combat service but nonetheless i wanted to ask you how you felt about the way in which the media paid you especially fox news which seems to have a very significant impact on the public perception with regard to how we cast, in terms of the type of light that is cast upon the particular person or event that was covering and i was wondering if you have any particular views at all or experience with how this news operation operates and how that has affected your life? thank you can i thank you. i try very hard to kind of ignore what is said and cox news and particular but any kind of media and i would be suspicious that there is such a thing as either the public mind or a public perception. i think we are all capable of having mines of marone and i know it seems sometimes like we're all i heard going a certain direction but then you look around and say it is
