i would never have predicted this is on the north slope of the brooks range. bob: i know of very few pockets like this up here at all. art: these flowers! these little white flowers are beautiful, the lupine are very, very pretty! nicole: one of the interesting things about these flowers this far north is that we're not experiencing a lot of bees buzzing around us and pollinating the flowers, and that's because the temperatures are too cold often for bees to actually function. and so the alternative in a climate like this, is that mosquitoes pollinate flowers like this. art: what i like about being in here is when you're on the arctic slope, everything's so open and austere and beautiful, but for the mind and the spirit, it's kind of nice to have a change of pace. this is a wonderful place to be right now. there's an arctic hare that's about 15 or 20 feet away, under some dead branches, so it feels secure. the only thing i see moving right now is the whiskers. it's just -- and occasionally the ears are moving from the mosquitoes, but otherwise, if it just stay

i thank brookings on the opportunity to join on the eve of o.n.g.a. it's a strange acronym and causes moaning and groaning in some circles. henry kissinger was critical of unga and others have expressed their concern and disappointment with the united nations, but i believe that at its best, united nation is not only a critical, essential institution but one that the united states has a lot of equities. so i am looking forward, not only that it's in new york and i get to go home, but it's an official as well as an personal obligation i am looking forward to. let me begin by echoing the president's statement yesterday of the approval of his security team to deploy a stronger and comprehensive missile defense in europe. this came after a lengthy assessment of the threat posed by iran's missle program. and the technology we have today and what might be available in the future to confront it. we believe this is a decision that will leave america stronger and capable of defending our troops and allies. let me be clear of what the new system will do, as to

general assembly at the brookings institution. this is about an hour. >> the entrance you all came in this morning may have had swinging doors but it may more correctly be revolving doors. since inauguration day, eight our former colleagues in other diplomatic missions around the world. i'm sure they are proud to be helping you in the important task you are doing. all of us at brookings are proud to be associated with them. starting monday, the secretary is going to plung into an annual week-long marathon of bilateral diplomacy. she will give us a preview of the challenges and objectives on her mind. i haven't read her speech but this much i can predict because it is already a theme of her stu wardship. that is her conviction that promoting human security is related to national -÷security. it takes a strong community coming together to ensure the wellbeing of its weakest members including the children. the u. n. represents that larger community. our country is represented by secretary clinton. after her opening remarks, i'll come

brooke? >> getting involved and very busy. we have any idea, since this is the big if, if this legislation happens, what could possibly be included in the language of this reform? >> clearly a lot of moving parts and they stressed it's not formal yet but we are hearing the key to this is that the white house is now leaning against including the public option in their draft, and leaning more towards something like a trigger option. now we talked about it a bit but this is an idea that moderate republican senator olympia snowhas long pushed for. the public option would not kick in unless insurance companies neglected to make necessary reforms, reforms including stopping the insurance industry practice of using pre-existing conditions to deny coverage. cnn learned the obama administration could send a plan to the hill sometime after the president's speech to congress next week. we don't know how quickly this could all start moving, brooke. >> how might this affect talks and different versions of this bill that have already been d

i mean brook is 21 years old.s son is one year younger. i don't believe people are going to take these guys seriously at all. thank yu so much for sharing with us. leslie marshal, thanks so much for being here. >>> right now i have to show you president obama calling kanye west a jackass. yeah, it was caught on tape, all started when he stole the microphone from taylor swift. the video of president obama called kanye a jackass happening during an off-the-cuff moment and it's now online. >> she seems like a perfectly nice person. she's getting her award. >> why would he do that? he's a jackass. >> now -- this -- all this stuff -- >> i'm assuming all this stuff. come on, guys. where is the pool? come on, guys. cut the president some slack. >> well, apparently they didn't. tonight it's my one-on-one with jon gosselin's other kate. why is she calling him a liar. >> i would love to take a lie detector test and for him to take one. for him to say there was no romance is a complete lie. >> tonight i go one on o one in a

brooke?> very interesting development there, kate bolduan on top of all things in washington there. you're on it. you're on it. we're on it as well. we want you to watch wednesday night. cnn lr carwill be carrying the president's health care address live, 8:00 eastern time, write it down, on wednesday. >> that's wednesday. he has another big speech to make on tuesday. the president will be talking to the country's younger folks, the students of this country. you would think a school speech not going to be too stressful, is it? well, turned into pretty political minefield here for the white house and everybody seems to have taken a side on this thing. >> it's the president talking to students, you know. the embrace of technology as a young student, i would have been so excited as a kid to have the president talk to me, so i think it's a great opportunity for our students and we're going to embrace it. >> trying to bring his news to the school and, you know, with scho school kids and things. no

george will, david brooks, sam donaldson and cokie roberts. george a little context there. from around the world. but the heckle did get so much attention wednesday night because it was relative -- we have never seen it before, something that blunt, during a presidential speech. is it a sign of times? >> i hope so because what it makes it news is how rare it carolinan congressman brooks, defended earlier, went on the floor of the senate. holding a cane and accompanied by a man with if a pistol who was to hold up the other members. he beat summer so severely, he was out of the congress for three years. >> that was progress from earlier times. you know, burr hamilton was the famo famous duel's political speech. they used to call each other on the floor of the house of representatives. go out all the time. >> that kind of civility has been with us always. i think in this case, joe wilson is part of that scene of joe mccarthy destroyed people. they called lincoln a bamboon. in the jefferson-adams-jackson era. i agree. my only question is, how much did rahm emanuel to do that. i

well, it is a great delight to be back here at brookings.hrough that revolving door, which really does go both directions near i spoke with strobe shortly after i was asked to take this job as secretary of state, and began thinking about who needed to be in this new administration. and he will flee said i know you're going to decimate the place. i said well, yes, we are, but that's all part of the revolving door. people who go in and out of administration, who do the work that is done here every day at brookings, such high quality work, in many respects, visionary as well as analytical. and i am very grateful for this farm team that you have led so well for so many years, and the opportunity to work with them now in this new capacity i also want to just say a word of personal appreciation to strobe. as most of you know, he spends eight friend of my husband and mine. of course starting with my husband had offered, and then shortly afterwards, and he had a wonderful brooks, were dear dear friend over all of these years. and i am pleased to loo

brooke hart joins us live from capitol hill with the latest. brooke, good to see you. thanks for joining us. let's start off with that congressman's conduct. explain what that was and why there's so much talk about it. >> reporter: right. this was house republican joe wilson and, joe, it happened off camera so you didn't actually see him do this, but it was a rare breach of protocol and respect. you saw some reaction to it as the president was delivering his speech. it came as president obama was talking about and trying to debunk some myths about his health care reform ideas, specifically in this case whether illegal immigrants would be covered by reform and get health care because of it. and at the same time, he was doing that, off camera you heard someone in the audience say, "you lie." as i mentioned, a rare breach of protocol and respect there. house leaders are weighing possibly punishing house republican leader wilson because of it. president obama was trying to appeal to lawmakers at the time to stop bickering. >> the president of the united states. >> reporter

brooke baldwin sitting in for betty this weekend.our holiday weekend with us. lots to talk about. the president's weekend ahead and the adviser on gro e er on van jones, stepping down from his post. apparently he signed a petition a couple of years ago suggesting that high government officials deliberately allowed the 9/11 attacks to happen. the administration said he didn't read the petition carefully. that is the news out of washington this morning. >>> new pictures out of los angeles. this looks like a flood. but it has not been raining in l.a. we'll explain to you exactly what the situation is out there and why thousands and several homes -- i don't know about thousands of people just yet, but a number of have had to be evacua evacuated. >>> things have developed overnight. five people dead in a small plane crash in oklahoma this happened in an airfield in tulsa. faa said the plane hut a wire and came down. faa spokesman says the plane was on its way to dallas. >>> after a week following that massive wildfire out west, firefighte

brookings struck a truck causing it to veer off the road and she died at sinai hospital. the driver was taken to northwest hospital center. still no word on his condition tonight. we don't know why brooking crossed the median. >>> a tractor-trailer driver was hurt after his big rig overturned on 695. its video you'll only see on abc2 news. we're told the tractor-trailer somehow flipped near route 702 around 11:00 last night. the only vehicle involved in the crash. the driver was taken to shock trauma. no word on his condition. >>> tonight, members of one baltimore county church are cleaning up after someone broke in and ransacked their office. it happened at st. andrews lutheran church on taylor avenue in the hillendale neighborhood. abc2 news brian kuebler shows us the mess. >> reporter: quite a mess left behind after someone broke into the church. the president of the church council has been part of st. andrews for decades, says he's never seen anything like this. he thinks they may have gotten in through the window in the office and said they tore out the alarm system.

joining us now is martin from brookings, fresh from the meeting from hillary clinton. let's talk about what she said today, because he basically laid out a tough bargaining position with iran, but didn't quite answer the question as to what are the options if negotiations don't work? >> hi, andrea. i think that what was interesting about the way she positioned the administration on this was to make it clear that iran has to make a choice but not to clear the pitch. not to create a situation in which they've got into a kind of shouting match before the actual negotiations get under way. so although it was a tough position, it was not designed to react to ahmadinejad's most recent statements today about the holocaust. she avoided that. she didn't want to get into a kind of name-calling. because, i think, that the administration feels that there's a lot going on in tehran. there's a crack in the regime. there are a lot of different positions there and ahmadinejad is not necessarily getting a lot of support within the regime itself at this point or within the parliament an

well it is a great delight to be back here at brookings. through the revolving door that does go both directions, i spoke with strobe shortly after i was asked to take this job as the secretary of state and began thinking about who needed to be in this new administration, and he will foley said i know you are going to decimate the place. [laughter] i said well, guess, we are, but that's all part of the revolving door to the lead. people who go in and out of administration's and do the work that is done every day, a high-quality work in many respects visionary as well as analytical, and i am very grateful for the team that you have led so well for so many years and a opportunity to work with them now in this capacity. i also want to just say a word of personal appreciation to strobe. as most of you know, he has been a friend of mine and my husband of course starting with my husband at oxford and then afterwards, the wonderful book, we our dear friends over all these years and i am pleased to look out and see adrianne and devin, the next gene

important to point that out but to mike brooks on this. all right, mike, what we have from rupa, lab worker, failed polygraph, starting to add up a little bit, isn't it? >> it is, mike. if you look at this building, as rupa said the animals are kept in the basement where this lab s. keep in mind, mike, this is a very secure building. and it's going to be even more secure in an area where animals are held because they want to make sure there are no animal rights people come in to release animals like we've seen at other universities and probably going to be a limited number of people that have access to certain areas. now, you need a card to get to get into the building and a prox card, thee i.d. cards you swipe to get into other certain secure serious auch as this. again probably a limited number of people have access and need to be in this particular area. >> kristen, your comments or question here? >> caller: yes, mike. i have a couple questions, actually, thank you for taking my call. >> yeah. >> caller: i heard reports early on when sh

in fact, it was south carolina congressman preston brooks who beat massachusetts senator charles sumner with a cane on the senate floor in 1876. at least senator sumner got the first underwater tunnel in boston named after him. on that same senate floor in 1902, south carolina senator benjamin tillman slugged his debate partner in the jaw. in 1964, senator strom thurmond wrestled a colleague to the ground to delay a vote. and in the 1970s, the swinging 1970s, congressman john engi jenretroand his wife were caught making love on a pillar behind the steps of the capitol building. of course, the current chief executive of south carolina, who knows for how long, exactly, is appalachian trail expert, governor mark sanford. and to be fair, south carolina is also the home state of ste n stephen colbert, who has as of this hour, managed to remain apparently scandal free. his show is on hiatus this week, which means he was forced to stand by leaving the comedic drubbing of joe wilson to the rest of his comedic brethren. >> oh, i am so angry, because someone has disgraced the south. and you know

brooks talked about it. the cost savings that this bill will be revenue neutral and he won't sign it, we had the only us in bill the same thing and it had a bunch of earmarks in it and he signed it. americans want the turbulence they're experiencing to be calmed by their subservient members of congress that are supposed to.... >> rose: and was that the tone of the president tonight or not? was that the tone of the president tonight, calm, reasoned, or not? >> there were different... there were different... there were different tones. we heard that the president was passionate to want and yet people who passionately oppose this are a new angry mob. so one man's reason, passionate person is another man's angry mob. (laughter) >> rose: who was the person who shouted out "liar"? >> that was representative joe wilson. he's publicly apologized. we cannot do that. he knows that and he's sorry. >> rose: okay. go ahead, joe. >> charlie, there's something else here that's difficult any time you want health care reform

mike brooks still with us. mike, i still haven't been able to figure out frankly, as much as i have been listening and to translate what's going on whether the passengers or have not yet been taken into custody. it sounds -- it sounds -- there's the plane once again. we're looking at it. it sounds from one description that there's a possibility that at least one of the hostages was in fact taken off the plane because she described him as being someone in the back of the line when we got off. now that's just one passenger, and you know how these things are. you start -- you ask a lot of people a lot of questions, and you get a lot of different answers so i'm still trying to figure out what happened but it does seem curious, does it not, that these passengers are saying most of them, most of them did not even know that there was a hijacking going on on the plane. >> that's a good possibility because many times after the passengers get off the plane, if they don't see what's going on up in first class up near the

live on capitol hill, i'm brooke hart. back to you. >> all right. thank you, brooke. >> new numbers reveal most terror suspects are not being prosecuted. a research group from syracuse university found the government is only prols cuting one in four people charged in connection with terrorism. the study found the other 75% are going free because the evidence is not strong enough. the justice department is already responding, saying it disagrees with the study's conclusions. >>> well, it's been 14 years since the oklahoma city bombing and now the fbi has released some security tapes showing the immediate aftermath. in this video, you can see people rushing from nearby buildings after the blast at the murrah federal building. the tapes do not show the murrah building itself. neither do they show the explosion. 168 people were killed in that blast. bomber timothy mcveigh was executed back in 2001. his co-conspirator, terry nichols, is in prison serving a life sentence. >> acclaimed film director roman polanski has hired a swi

and brooke but they had extremely scorching temperatures. right now as we look at the map, we're looking at really in terms of temperature, temperatures that are a lot cooler than where they were last this time last week. in glendale, it is 63 degrees. high temperatures in and around the los angeles area will climb to i'd say about 82, 83 degrees. so we are going to see some improvements in the weather. it's definitely not going to be as hot. it's also going to be a nice day in and around the new york city, metropolitan area. we have a live picture of central park to show you, a string of great weather days for this holiday weekend. it's a little hazy. you can see the reservoir in the distance to the north, and a beautiful weekend for those of you headed to the beaches on long island and the hamptons. nice conditions there. cape may, new jersey, on the new jersey shore temperatures in the 70s so cooler than it has been but not every place is going to enjoy a perfect beach forecast as we go through the rest of this holiday weekend. check out

. >> last up on the on edge, david brooks praised the president's health care address to congress on wednesday as the finest of his presidency. and brooks writes, "obama threw out enough rhetorical chum to keep the liberals happy and suddenly staked out ground in the center on nearly every substantive issue in order to win over the moderates needed to get anything passed." but i thought the key part with david brooks was that despite all that he didn't prove that this is not going to add a dime to our deficit. >> that's true, although nobody could prove that right now i do think david has it exactly right. the most important part of the speech was him leaning toward that senate finance committee bill, which resolved a couple of outstanding issues, including how you pay for it in a way that makes that the likely vehicle what is going to get through the congress. >> yeah. >> more on the president's health care push, joined live by times op ed columnist, ross calfet. do you agree with david brooks that this speech did have a material impact in helping the president get closer to the goa

brook hart has that story from washington. >> it was a year ago today lehman brothers collapsed and the financial panic began. investors and homeowners saw wealth wiped out and two administrations stepped in with massive bailouts and aid. president obama today highlights what has changed and what hasn't. not a single new law has been enacted to prevent a repeat. but the president will say the economy is better off. thanks, he'll say, to bold steps. >> rescue the financial system, to ensure that our domestic auto industry didn't go out of business and to stimulate the economy. that certainly cost a lot of money, but it's something that we had to do. >> we have come to speak -- >> thousands of protesters came to washington this weekend angry over those steps. >> we're spending too much money we don't have. >> and wary of the obama health care plan. >> we must stop this government takeover of health care. >> one advisor to the president said more people need change than oppose it. >> i don't think we ought to be distracted by that. my message to them is, they're wrong. >> senate democrats

here's what david brooks wrote today in "the new york times." obama's movement includes urban politicians, academics, hollywood donors and information-aged professionals. in his first few months, he has fused federal power with wall street, the auto industry, the health care industries and the energy sector. given all this it was guaranteed that he would spark a populace backlash regardless of his skin color. it was guaranteed this backlash would be ill mannered, conspiratorial, and over the top. since these movements are always that way. whether they are led by huey long, father coughlin or anyone else. we have to pay attention to david brooks. i want to know what you think of that, melissa. this isn't that he is african-american or that he has this african name, barack hussein obama, but that he represents the sort of new tide, big city, cultural elite, if you will. >> i certainly think that david brooks as normal has hit something very important here. that is that african-americans are not the only group of people against whom there have been

brooks, maybe disappoint nothing the individual competition, but you came back in the finals for the team, when you needed it you did it down the stretch. very well done. >> yeah. like i said, jim hit the ball solid all day. we got down to the last round. i knew it would be tight, these guys are great competitors, and jim hit the ball great all day, and i had to come through and get the last ball in. i enjoyed being here. i want to thank john mumadas, horsepower, "big shots titans at the tee," i'm flattered to be here with these great athletes. it's an honor to be here. >> john, if you would, please, mr. mumadas, the president, ceo and founder of big shots titans at the tee," present the trophy to our winners. >> there you go, 2009 champs right here. there you o. >> and congratulations to all of the competitors. checking out our stats for scott ionno, the smallest competitor at 195 pounds with the longest drive among the pros. and jim rice doing the damage among the celebs. what about our guest analyst, carl? >> that im mcmahon, he's a fella, ain't got no shoes on, and whatnot, and m

syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks. mark, did the president's speech change the debit in any important way? >> yes, it did, jim. first of all it's reclaimed the terms of the debate from what happened in august. he has established ownership. admitted that he owns a plan, my plan. he got specific. and for the democrats who are somewhat -- who were with him but had some doubts, he gave an energy to it, a sense of urgency, and a passion that replaced an earlier coolness and an earlier vagueness. and i would say the most important thing he did in terms of the country, in reaching the country, is he did establish that this was a moral issue. and he looked -- >> you think people bought that. >> i do. i think it's a different way of looking at it. instead of simply asking what's in it for me, he said what's in it for us as a people. and we, as a communal nation value justice. and i think -- i think that's an important value. and i think it's important politically to have that high moral ground. >> lehrer: do you think it has ch

i have to thank david brooks for helping inspire this book. the introduction to culture of corruption opens up with a column that he had written not long after the election day and to sort of foretell this clique of achietrons he called them and how phenomenally he was pressed that obama had brought with him the best of the washington insiders. he praised their ivy league pedigrees and really this is sort of a repeat of, you know, this idea that somehow these smarty pants were going to come in and change washington. well, it didn't take long before the obama administration sabused us of that notion in a very big way. and i go through all of the botched nominations and then a lot of the nominationshat actually went through barely by the skin of their teeth. obviously tim geithner comes to mie.d everybody knows about him, but there are many, manythers that i document, and i think one of the most imptant and relevant chapters that i hav't taled about yet -- and if you look at the front page of the new york times you can see how relevant this is -
