it becomes a big circus instead of us focusing on health care. >> kroft: i think bob schieffer's pointhe thought that.. i think he in some ways, this debate has brought out the worst in us. >> obama: well... >> kroft: not the best. >> obama: ...well, i think you've got a convergence of things. look, worst recession since the great depression. people feeling anxious. i think we're debating something that has always been a source of controversy, and that's not just health care, but also the structure, and the size, and the role of government. that's something that basically defines the left and the right in this country. and so, extremes on both sides get very agitated about that issue. i will also say that in the era of 24-hour cable news cycles that the loudest, shrillest voices get the most attention. and so, one of the things i'm trying to figure out is, you know, how can we make sure that civility is interesting? ( laughter ) and that, you know, hopefully, i will be a good model for the fact that, you know, you don't have to yell and holler to make your point, and to be passionate a

. >> it's harder to be bigger than he was but i am fascinated by the whole circus around that.oing to give you a hug the minute i hop over this table. is i cannot even get over your interview with joe jackson. who is so insane with those tattooed drag queen eyebrows because i believe at night he does the la toya and i knew the guy was freaky but we didn't know how freaky he was until we sat in this chair and said, michael did not wake up no more. how do you keep a straight face on this show? i mean, right? >> larry: i've got to do it with you, i can do it with anyone. >> but come on. >> larry: jay leno is going to 10:00 live across the board. >> i think it's going to do great. the network loves that. and -- >> larry: you can't drag him down because if you drag him down any more then the -- >> and then it goes on for the rest of the night. look, it's all changing. i'm on a little fake cable network that not that many people watch and i get to do my thing on my show, which i love. i don't even know the network world. >> >> larry: do you think he can beat something like csi miami?

that too is an appropriate role for the media circus around on >>> 12-minute look at news, weather and traffic "red eye," it is like "everybody loves raymond" if by raymond you mean huffing paint thinner from a paper bag. go to tv's andy levy for a pregame report. what is coming up? >>> coming up, congressman joe wilson calls the president a liar during his speech to congress. we will investigate how much irs agents will be auditing the senator next year. >>> final lirks the story that. and drew bright bart will show us but the good folks at acorn are trying to make it easier out here for pimps. >> greg: thank you. >> i got to keep my game tight like kobe on game night, greg. >> greg: i couldn't be more in agreement with whatever you said. >> i'm here with attorney tamara holder. she is so hot, match books warn children about playing with her. >>> bill schulz, in trinidad he is a trout basket. and sitting next to me, king buzz doe. singer and guitarist. if musical genius were good deeds, boy scouts would feed him every day. the new york times correspondent, good to see you, pinch. >> h

picadilly circus, the last bombings was home growns. kids born in the uk. they sent to pakistan or some other country to a madrasa. they're trained, indoctrine nated in radical beliefs. they're brought back to their home country and they're like ticking time bombs. >> what kind of psychological impact? if you're worried that we're going to get hit again. you ran one of the homeland security committees. i agree, president bush who is an unpopular rig you're right now for whatever different reasons, he has to be given credit for keeping this country safe for eight years, essentially. what do you think about the attitudes today towards that safety? >> i think unfortunately there's a degree of complacency and i agree with bernie totally. i think that there is an overhang in american psych te today. it's more economically based and informationally based. you can't turn on the tv without it being negative. just negative, negative, negative. we are to a degree depersonalizing society as well with this internet invasion. there's no eye to eye contact and talk as th

i mean, it becomes a big circus.oth been raising big campaign cash, more than a million dollars each since this happened and we've seen more discussion about the underlying issue that got wilson so angry. would illegal immigrants benefit in any way from health care reform? democrats say they are going to try to add some additional provisions, certainly democrats on the senate side, to try to have more enforcement about citizenship is one of the issues that has angered republicans and is part of the ongoing debate. >> thank you very much, kelly. joining us right now, matt is a republican strategist and former press ses to kay bailey hutchinson and jonathan capehart is still bus. what strikes me is the need for republicans to find a cohesive strategy on immigration and health care. in other words is this evidence of the continued struggle for the republican party to identify where they are collectively on immigration, period, where they are collectively on health care, period. so the circus develops because there isn't

it is hard to see it because we hear the noise and see the circus with gadhafi and ahmadinejad.st significant things that could happen is what is taking place behind the scenes with china and russia. i think some of what he says today in the speech might have as much to do with maybe some things he is trying to say behind the scenes or try to get russia to deal with iran and get tougher sanctions on iran and have a stiff to hold over the head of the iranians to basically deal with this nuclear issue. >> a nonpublic agreement but an intended destination with critical allies. >> obviously, they are on the security council. they hold the key and have better relations than iran functioning relations than we do. >> our panel with us on the aspect of the arrival of gadhafi who is going to speak shortly after the president speaks, bob manetti joins us from philadelphia. his son rick was a journalism rage at syracuse university when he was killed in the bombing of pan am flight and victims of pan am 103 and with us is jonathan capehart of "the washington post" and vicky ward blogger for

everybody loves the circus.rybody also loves to be first with the -- first with the most and the latest. so this is her big debut. these people probably wanted to tell their attendees, you know, you'll hear her. you can't hear her anyplace else. in truth, she hasn't been making very many public appearances. so i think it's everybody loves a show. >> now, the clfa, of course, closed palin's speech to the media. they said that they did that after she indicated that -- this is quoting, after she indicated she would have to adjust her speech if reporters were present. the afp reports that mrs. palin only took prearranged questions. so is this how it's going to operate, this will be the deal when you hire sarah palin to speak, no press and prewritten questions that she can check out before she even gives the speech? >> i honestly don't think that could be the deal if she's serious about pursuing a political career. she has to accept much more give and take than that. she didn't say anything especially controversial b
