solid at bat for pat blair. >> erickson worked the outside part of the plate and pat blair doing a good job of sounding off some tough pitches and finally gives in as he gets the free pass. he said i want to have a shot off to one of our young hurricane fans. >> jason: does ben have a bedtime tonight? >> it's a weekend night. holiday weekend. i'm sure he'll be in bed right after this game. >> jason: we will turn the lights off -- wake forest trailing by 3 runs. ryan simmons watching that one. semeniuk is 0-2. popped out to the 1st baseman lawson in the 1st and lined out to center field man devoss in the 3rd. >> i want to correct the history. >> jason: i actually mention the the history of university of miami going back to 1940. i knew it didn't make sense. it dates back too the 19th century. a bit of a difference. 1891 for wake forest with the two all-time college world series appearances. that one is lined to left field and a base hit for ryan semeniuk. so here in the 5th inning the demon deacons, this is a big -- they have their two base runners consecutively on. this time with one ou

prime minister tony blair had just won an historic second term for labor.avid cameron was a junior member of the shadow cabinet. >> i can offer the prime minister some advice of my own. it comes from personal experience. you should set a timetable for your departure. [laughter] i hope the prime minister will take that advice in a constructive way. >> he makes fun at my expense, but i say good luck to him for the future. let me gently remind him of however, of which party was elected. he has 197 members of parliament, we have 356, and i stand here and keep sit there. -- keeps sits there. . he sits there. >> is the prime minister still intending to serve a full term? under any circumstances will he change his mind? >> probably to the delight of my colleagues, when i do leave the leadership, i will not be coming back again. [laughter] >> this is a general election is the biggest duty in a liberal politics in over 80 years. i believe that will add to the health of the parliament ahead. >> in 2005, three underground trains were blown up by suicide bombers. emerg

and the shortstop blair. only defensive player for wake forest that actually started the game and is still at his original position. >> the right fielder and center field as well. >> and they moved second baseman back to center also so he's back where he belong, mark ryan. we have a new third baseman in the game. >> first, at bat for michael broad who came on as a pinch runner. we're out of a family room out of fort lauderdale and nova high school. where he coached for pat mcquaid for the last two years. i believe, michael broad actually was a teammate of wake forest's carlos lopez on the 2003 little league world champion team. i will have to confirm that. and foul off with a count 2-2 on broad. >> i would say from the looks of the last two swingses by melender and it look like some good heat. two times we have seen a hurricane swing the bat and catch it off the fist. . >> weak roller. and getting time to get across. 2-outs. >> and inside of the kitchen as they would say. he is eating their lunch. he'sed reac

please join me in welcoming adam -- enroll dennis blair. -- admiral dennis blair. [applause] >> thank you very much. when i received the invitation to this group and saw the list of analysts who would proceed may, i felt like a character robert duvall plays in "loans and of," and it says, -- lonesome dove, it says if you're going to be honda, it might as well be by friends. -- to be hung in my, as well be by friends. it is a serious consideration where we go from here, and i would like to thank you not only the work that led to the terrorist reform unmanneact, bun more the continued drive to insure the ideas were started then are kept alive to update and puts them on, so thank you both for not only this even but all the work you have done, and i would like to formally recognize your contribution. [applause] it is worth it to look over this history of intelligence reform, as we looked with a bipartisan report that preceded that, and although most of it is pretty dry policy, i do have some breaking news. there is going to be a new gni soon -- dni soon, jonathan mcnab

>> it was the kind of day you would have expected with tony blair. string of seats that labour nearly lost last time. meeting a lot of middle-class voters. and a jibe at david cameron at his upper-middle-class background. in campaigning style, brown is not a player and he is not at ease with the voters. -- he is not a blair. he does not communicate with people in the same way. >> parliament agreed on what they will get through in the washout? >> we are hearing the details of this. extraordinary. i do not recall this happening before. -- before an election. the government has dropped three of its tax measures announced in the budget a few days ago. the levy -- the broadband levy, the holiday lighting's tax, and the 10% rise in tax will be dropped from the 30th of june and was parliament votes to reinstate it. that is an interesting series of measures. at the same time, other important measures will have to be dropped. -- at the time of the dissolution of parliament. the referendum on electoral reform, the alternative of the system has been dropped. it

under tony blair a lot of the bill clinton campaigning strategy -- it was indeed the same personal advisers. stan greenberg and others like him were advising. it is a familiar charge. the big innovation is the debates of the leaders. there is a big contrast from the american one of the last two years. now our campaign is basically four weeks -- much shorter.

admiral blair will be with us a little later, the director of national intelligence. admiral mcconnell, former director of national intelligence, general mike hayden who served of course in a variety of intelligence capacities, including his first deputy director of national intelligence and cia were. fran townsend, who in the white house helped shape president bush's legislative proposals to create a dni. john mclaughlin, former deputy or the cia, steve kimba, undersecretary of defense who handle defense intelligence matters for the secretary. walter pincus, as an article this morning if any of you have read it already this morning and the post on intelligence reform.

off the wall and rounding third and stopping right there is pat blair. that ball hit a mile by seminick. and yet again, give credit to the deacons not going down without a fight trailing 8-6 with two runners in scoring condition. here they come again, steven brooks. brooks is 3-4. >> first base open and put the best hitter on desk. never put the win gning. and you just can't give free pass and make the matters worse. and i don't know if you will leave the closer in the game to close to the game out or have a lefty, lefty match-up if it should get to that. >> swung on and line drive. right field, dropping, dropping it will go all the way to the wall and two runs will score. there he is again. a superlative performance. a 2 double tied the game again this time at 8. the team doesn't give in, as bad a game as they have played dismissal, they are doing a good job dismissal. the fourth hit in the ball game. a fastball and in and brooks puts it in and drives it the other way. as bad as they want this game it's really impressive what they are doing offensively.

jayson blair was troubled and he acknowledged that he had mental, emotional difficulties and not alllayed out at "the new york times." but the fact that he was black led some people to assume that gerald, an african-american man who promoted diversity in the newsroom was in some way aiding and abetting this journalistic criminal when that was not the case. and in fact, you know, jason did not like gerald, as he wrote in his own but because he could not get the support that he needed from gerald. so gerald didn't hire jason. he didn't supervise them directly and you certainly did not venture him. but the assumption was that there was a connection between the two. and i think that affect good gerald's tenure, at the end of his tenure quite successfully. >> your husband died in 2006? four years later you're publishing a book with his name on it and an introduction by you. >> welcome i did the afterward. "my life in black and white" is gerald spoke. after he left the times, he wrote a draft from hebrew to dross. the first one was 800 some odd pages and i remember telling him nobody cares

i think in campaigning style, brown is not a blair.he is not at ease with the voters even though i think it is a bit more of that today that in the past. he does a committee with people in quite the same way. >> parliament whining up in a day or so and they agreed, they have agreed what bills they will get through the so-called washup. >> we are hearing the details of this. i don't recall this happening before. the government has before an election, the government has dropped three of its attacks measures that were announced in the budget a few days ago. the levy on the broadband lovely, the holiday tax, and also the 10% rise inside a tax would effectively be dropped. it will be dropped from the 30th of june unless parliament voted to reinstate it. so that's quite an interesting series of measures. at the same time, quite a number of other important measures have had to be dropped in the source trading that goes on at the time of the disillusionment of parliament that the referendum of electoral reform, the alternative vote system. tha

pat blair the shortstop. even brooks and mac williamson in the outfield. mike low vanky is the catcher. you see the strike out to walk ratio. 24-7. three wins, one loss and that e.r.a. below three. very impressive for a freshman. and has been solid throughout the year in the start rotation for the demon deacons and their freshman into the program. little by little they will get it turned around. you and i both learned today about lake forest, they don't accept junior college transfers. that limits what you can do as a coach and what you can bring into the program. >> jason: it's so tough in the aca. any time there is a coaching transition, as there was in winston-salem prior to this year, you have to put a blueprint together. it doesn't happen over night. it comes through recruiting. it comes throughputting your stamp. what your style is. it will take some time. you see that conversation between wake forest and tom walters. greg street down the first line. umpire frank sylvester at third. the hurricanes are set offensive. >> you talk about blueprints for w

in other words people fought tony blair was more american than was barack obama.hat is striking about this research is if you asked people at a conscious level with the barack obama were 20 blair was american they would look at you funny because they would say obviously tony blair is a british competition and barack obama is an american. and the reason this research is interesting is that it found that when people who were more likely at an unconscious level, not conscious level the unconscious level to think of obama as being four men are much less likely to support him in the democratic primary and the generally election even if they agree completely on all of the policy issues so it speaks to the idea of the motivated reason that we think of ourselves as being detached information processors when in reality we have these factors that are the back of our mind that prompt us to go out looking for evidence that essentially backs of our preexisting views. ischemic but the language of the defensive where they don't use that terminology. is that a fair statement? >>

. >> 83 still blue, 87 still blue and that historic labor landslide bringing tony blair to power here, very different picture. >> hastings going labor, selfgate, labor and everett won or dreamed of it before that historic election. >> in 2005 the way we voted last time around, it is often said that this election will be fought and the won on a few small areas. i will show you how vulnerable particular seats actually are. this is a patchwork map. it looks confusing but i will talk you through it. the dark blue and red, those represent the safest seats. look at the pale colors, this little primrose color for the s&p in scotland, slightly lighter green in wales. this gives you a sense of more vulnerable seats. we are going to look at labor in particular to give you a sense of one example. these risky pinks compared to the dark red, be safe seats and possibly the most interesting battleground seats. >> these of the seats the tories need to gain for an outright majority of the house of commons. the suburban seats and the south, a couple interesting speaks. xs in the cultural secretary. two

their big ideas were simply the ideas that tony blair was pursuing using different language and in some and they have been a marginal party. you know, in a two-party system you always have some votes. they haven't had much influence on british politics for the last 12 years. recovering from that has been a major trauma. they now have a leader who -- he's very impressive, very young. he has not said very much. we don't know what he thinks about. and this is, i think, deliberate, because the conservatives are so wary of offending people again, so wary of scaring people again, that they had to put somebody like that into office. >> i think that's a narrative that totally ignores the financial crisis, you could have sid that with accuracy about what labour had done pre-financial crisis. post-financial crisis there's a tremendous opportunity to attack these guys. >> sure. >> blair and brown took on what was good about thatcherism, but what part of seemed good prior to 2007 is part of what devastated the british economy. britain bought into the whole deregulation of financial services, the wh

so you have been with rachel, and vanessa and bree, and blair, jenny, serena.skrn p. don with olivia, rachel and vanessa. then we have kate, jack, and sawyer. >> we're all lost in reality. >> jimmy: that's a lot, you're like the tiger woods of this show. >> oh, wow. look at blair's expression there. >> jimmy: like she got hit by a sonic boom. >> just like little house on the prairie used to be. >> jimmy: that's fairly impressive, i have to say. it's good to meet you. continue embrarsing your grandparents. cow can watch "gossip girl" on the qw. at cheez-it, we expect a lot from our cheese. - knock, knock. - who's there? interrupting cheese. interrupt-- - cheese! - i should have seen that one coming. you should've, 'cause that was-- i even told you i was gonna be interrupting you.

blair out. and we'll bring up the left fielder ryan semeniuk who popped after the 1st baseman. good looking eric erickson. we mentioned his freshman campaign in 2007. he became the first university of miami freshman in a long history to be . >> jason: and as the sun sets behind us here at alex rhodoras park, css has a web show put together by you, the fans, for fans. you will have a chance to give us your feedback. submit a comment or question to consider putting the next pant sode. let your voice be be herd. good look at tim cooney, tonight's starting pitcher for wake forest. 6'2" freshman. out of college vil, pennsylvania, and malvern prep. last team helped his team win the state championship. twice the daily news all-city player. tim cooney 20 years old. last week an outstanding performance for him in blacksberg, virginia, against virginia tech. went 8 innings of shutout basable against the hokeys. and his e.r.a. coming into the came, 13th best in the acc at 2.97. facing a very powerful miami team here. and a groundball snared by the 1st baseman kroker. thrown to 1st and lop

to the shortstop blair. a manufactured run for the hurricanes thanks to the error by lopez and the stolen base. the hurricanes now lead to 4-1. >> you talked about it during that 1st inning, that this is a different hurricane ball club. even though they have had quite a bit of multihit base games coming into the ballgame today this is a team that has to manufacture runs. this sa great example of how they do it tonight. that's four runs now. and a lot of it is because of stolen bases and three errors on the board by wake forest. >> jason: four runs on just one hit. and the hit really irrelevant to the scope of things. it was a 2-out single by frankie ratcliff, who was caught stealing to end the second. past the 3rd baseman kroker and into left field and gets past the left fielder semeniuk. and allows martinez to take 2nd base easily. harold martinez there. and the s are piling up for wake forest. an unbelievable development here defensively for the demon deacons as martinez on at 2nd base. we'll see if that c

blair. >> it is the auto maker's responsibility to make sure they comply with federal safety standards. that is their responsibility. we are not branding these cars safe. it is our job to enforce and to please the marketplace -- to police the market place, which we do. the automakers have to uphold their obligation to not only comply with our standards but the state of the art. it is my job to make sure they called to the standards. this agency will hold the line. >> david strickland, head of the nhtsa, testifying before congress in his agency's role in auto safety. the agency follow those words with an announcement that it will seek a fine against toyota of $16 million for failing to notify officials . starting as off is dave shepardson of "detroit news." many people saw the headline -- regulators seeking a fine of $16.40 million against toyota. the statement said "if upheld." why does it say that? >> toyota gets to formally denied decide whether it wants to appeal the fine. this is by far the largest ever find that nhtsa has sought to impose. the previous was $1 million against gener

tonight we will show you a speech by former prime minister tony blair. he spoke to labor supporters on tuesday in his old constituency. he urged voters to give the labor party a fourth term in office and praised the work and leadership of his successor, gordon brown. he criticized the conservative party, saying it lacked principles. britain is widely expected to hold parliamentary elections on may 6. this event is about 25 minutes. . it is wonderful to see the local members of parliament doing such a great job. i remember when he was nothing. [laughter] i am having a little difficulty with the geography, but life was different for canada its when phil was where i am standing -- four candidates -- for a candidate when the bill was where i was standing. one thing you never did was interrupt the bingo. someone asked me, when do you want to speak? i said, let's just stop the bingo.

but this is more about court in brown and tony blair doing the bidding of the united states. this is wrong. even with the closest allies, let me say, i have spent some very happy time in the united states and i was feeling that cultural affinity, the strong partnership as strong as anyone else. but the friendship has to be balanced. differences have to be able to be expressed, not automatic deferring an older partner. . >> and i also think in the stomach or the european leaders have decided what their approach would be, far too much time has been spent creating new institutions and mechanisms. this is not a time for institution building. this is not a time for institutional rivalries and jealousies. this is the time for the imf and the european union to act in concert with each other and not allow vanity to disturb and what needs to be a well coordinated, thorough, and rigorous brecker -- approach to the problems in greece. i think reece is taking grave and difficult steps in order to try to regain confidence in the markets in the state of their finances. it would be a betray

after that, a speech by former prime minister tony blair to labour party supporters. . >> because they do. it is the profanity of that environment that is part of describing that environment. you cannot write about people and take that out and have the flavor preserved. if you listen to people on wall street, it is extremely high. that is the way people talk. i just do not change it. it is the way of manipulating the environment if i changed it. >> have you thought about how often it happens? it is almost on every page. >> probably not every page. >> -- there is one character in particular. i thought about how they spoke when i was wide and the character. there are characters that use no profanity at all. the doctor does not use profanity, but another character exists in the story and in the real world and runs around and insults people on wall street. but that is how the sounds. i could not remove it. -- that is how he sounds. when he talks, that is what comes out of his mouth. >> in the last chapter, you have lunch with the former leader of a company that you work for. how do you pro

that is a historic labour landslide bringing tony blair to power. a very different picture now. >> hastings going late. labour had never won or even dreamt of winning. >> back to 2005 when we voted last time around, it is often said that this election will be forced and one on just a few small areas. i will show you the marginality, how vulnerable each particular seat is. this is a bit of a patchwork map. bear with me. some of the dark strong colors, dark blue, dark red, those represent the safest seats. but in the pale colors. -- look at the pale colors. this is giving you a sense of more vulnerable seats. we are going to look at labour in particular to give you a sense of one example, these very pale pinks compared to the dark red, the safe seats. these are the most interesting battleground. >> these are the seats that the tories really need to gain to have an outright majority. a loss in the north, a couple of interesting seats. two cabinet ministers could lose their seats to conservatives if they win an outright majority. >> before we go, a coup

colombia produces cocaine, canada, california, mexico, use marijuana, but 91%, as prime minister blair said. 91% of the heroin produced worldwide comes from afghanistan. a and the situation is, this is a narco state. as a matter of fact, wasting all of the police money, breaking into homes in the ghettos and inner-city is, you are walking past 91% of the heroin. this should be burned. if this is destroying the lives of 2 million to 3 million, maybe 6 million children in the united states, in the eu, and in russia. torched the drugs. this argument -- they can't find another crop. let us say i am producing heroin in california and the rest me. i say, well, i can't make money on corn or wheat, i have to do this. the logic is not there. trump is 100% right. host: henry in jacksonville, florida. go-ahead. caller: i am calling because howe has been the investigations about the elections been raked in afghanistan? like the previous caller, what democracy ever work in these countries? host: back to the article.

it would be extremely interesting if this had existed in 2005 and we saw tony blair defend directly his decision to invade iraq. as foreign secretary said recently. that was decided in the last election and in this election the afghanistan war is someone in which all three parties more or less agree on. >> perhaps one of the areas there may be interesting debate is on britain's nuclear deterrence. it's incredibly expensive. in the way, that issue, there's saying a lot about what the parties think about britains standing in the world doesn't? it >> it does if you believe the liberal democrats are trying abolish. our independent nuclear deterrent. they're looking to spend the money on a different system. not about britain somehow or another on a non-nuclear state but which way we should /k-bt that. more about competency and rather than change. >> you don't get a sense perhaps there is a debate. we've had a report out today talking about what is britain's position on the world stage given the economic climate? is this the time to start thinking, maybe we'd be more comfortable not spending

i helped tony blair. even though a lot of labor mp's were not blocking it. we put -- you know, the possible bilght of -- the possibility of defeating labor backed them to do the right thing. we must be responsible and deliver the best government we can for the country. if you want my honest answer, i don't think parliament would be good for britain. we need daw sigh tiff government to take some of the difficult decisions for the long-term. we set out some of the things that need to be done to get the deficit under control. i fear if we put them off we could have a situation where we see interest rates rise and see confidence taken out of our economy. i think we need change to get on top of the deaf -- deficit and get our economy moving. >> you are right on the simple assertion you are making. we just talked about social care, but the one you are highlighting is of course the black hole in the public finances. it is better if poll tugs try and work together. irrespective of the outcome of the next election why do we set up a council for financial stability. y

>> if it had been a different relationship than bush had with blair, i would say that's an interesting story. but there's a continuity continuity in british foreign policy. historically, they are worried about the continent. and historically they want to keep their options open. british, economic and military strategy is to keep one foot in europe and one foot firmly in north america. and this is but a policy that's been followed since since churchill. and there's always a personal relationship between the american president and the british prime minister. and that's particularly fostered by the british prime minister. he does not want to be in the position that france's relation is determined. and so there are good geopolitical reasons for the. i don't know that he helped obama's, he may have, i suspect obama couldn't help himself if he wanted to. but i do know that there's great continuity going back for several generations in special american relationship with the british. and vice versa. >> the former advisor to bill clinton has written a case for goliath and says the united states

but what about than the role for the odni going forward and for the dni itself and admiral blair, we were given assignments, so please accept in the spirit in which it's offered, i agree with the other panelist. and i think i understand the implications of being the principal intelligence adviser to the president. and what i would argue is that the management responsibility is that they have been conferred on the dni are for the purposes of fulfilling that assignment. data management responsibilities, in an of themselves, have little value. unless they are designed, and less that management is done for the purposes of making the dni the best adviser to the president and, of course, by extension to the other members of the nse, to the congress, and all of the other operators out there in the world from combatant commanders down to the fbi agents. as was pointed out this morning, and i were in mind again, the dni was not given operational responsibilities. and one can argue whether he should have been given those responsibilities or not. if he had been, we would not be debating whether
