dallas is next. good morning. this is david on our independent mind.r thoughts on this debate? caller: i think executive compensation is just one part of general flow of money toward the upper classes, toward the rich people. the disturbing thing is obama seems to have to appoint people not interested at all doing anything to reverse this. of course, i mean people like geithner and sommers and bernanke. i notice you are having elizabeth warren on later. if you listen to her and people like stiglitz and simon johnson, it seems like those of the people who ought to be in charge of the treasury and the fed for that matterç, to help them do something to stop this flow of money away from the average taxpayer. that is all i have to stay. -- say. host: we told you earlier in greatxd britain their approach s to put a 50% tax, a supertax it is called, on executive compensation for banks. here is the headline appeared -- headline. here is what patrick jenkins is reporting. host: the next call is from fredericksburg, va., louise on the republican line. caller: i

to dallas for our first caller. caller: i believe senator lieberman likes to get the spotlight, likes to keep his name in the news. it is the one thing he is against, but first he said he was against the public option and we tried to pull him in. try to see forget him to vote with democrats. but one thing i'm very curious about, they keep on coming up with this figure send it is 50,000 who do not have insurance. they say it is too costly. what i take the 50,000 and if we give them a $1 million policy, a $50 million is a lot cheaper than what this bill is proposed to cost. they don't talk about having this people insured. host: here is ohio, mike on the independent line. caller: i think that senator lieberman -- senator lieberman is a flip-flopped. host: what do you mean by that, mike? caller: seems to back the corporate weasels who have hijacked this country. he supports a corporate, international fascism. i think he should maybe move back to israel. host: oregon, david on the republican line. your thoughts? caller:

in the met spro plex of texas, the dallas-fort worth area, only 15% of doctors will see new medicaid patients because of medicaid's low rates. and then there's this claim that it won't raise taxes. well, the joint committee on taxation caidz tha indicates thf the people earning less than $200,000 a year will see a tax increase under this bill. in other words, this is another promise the president made that will be sphrieltd this bill is passed into law -- that will be violated if this bill is passed into law because taxes will go up for 38% of the people. and it -- as a matter of fact, out of that 38%, 24% of them will experience a tax increase even after taking into account the premium tax credit that is being paid under this bill. another promise made. another promise that cannot be kept if this bill becomes law. and then there's this one. the president said, "so don't pay attention to the scare stories about how your benefits might be cut that. will never happen on my watch." he said, i'll protect medicare. well, we've seen time and time again, dr. elmendorf, the head of the congr

. >> good morning, senator, i'm brandon keyes from dallas, texas. my question is what is the primary reason for the health care debate? >> the primary reason for the health care debate would be two. one, to make sure that everybody has accessibility to health insurance and the care that goes with it, and the second one is that it be affordable. accessibility is generally given by people that have lower incomes to subsidize the buying of health insurance and to make sure that the discrimination that comes through people being denied health care because of pre-existing conditions to do away with it. and so affordability and accessibility. and basically, that would be for people that, the 47-50 million people that don't have health insurance today. of which i suppose you could probably break that down into smaller groups. there may be four or five million people that could qualify for medicaid that don't have it or children's health programs that exist. there's probably maybe ten million people that have incomes high enough they could buy health insura

it's 55 miles to dallas. were they commuting? most of the troops were out of baltimore but sometimes we had to fly out of dallas. i hate to fly out of the dw law because it was an hour-and-a-half drive and ifill was bad weather i was looking at a couple of hours if there was an ice storm. was on a commuter? i was based here. this is my domicile. as opposed we have so many ways somebody could show up for tea and it's difficult to put your arms are bound is it the fatigue or do we have a prescriptive rule that says you commute to come to have to be here 12 hours. we don't have any assurance if that 12 of ours was good rest. we don't have a way of measuring the quality of rest you got any more than we have of measuring i live here and i had a child of the midnight and it can to the emergency room at 2:00 in the morning and was due on the flight at eight. i have no business fleeing the flight but i'm not a commuter. so these are some of the difficulties we are faced with and the burden would be on the pilots, not the carriers. i will

host: karl on the democrats' line in dallas, texas. realize that we are in a war of confusion.pakistanis consider this a war of jihad, which means muslims against christians, ok? muslims are reprobates. these people are stuck back when it jesus' at first was year. -- when jesus first was here. riding camels and stuff like that. we have moved on in america. guest: i think that jihad has a much broader meaning than our war against christians. jihad really is a complex term, which means defense, it also means self reflection, self improvement. when it is used in a military sense, pin means basically the defense of the homeland -- it means basically the defense of the homeland, and for some extremists, striking at the enemy. at this point for al qaeda, the enemy happens to be christian, but a jihad is a much broader term. most muslims do not think of this necessarily as a war against christianity. nor do i think -- i think if you were to visit a muslim lands that i live in, he would find that muslims nieither ride camels nor are they -- at least the educated ones cap-- as retrograd

host: dallas, texas, over 30, you are on the air. caller: hello.n censored by twitter for being a dissenter -- host: let's go to cleveland, alabama, and jeremy and under- the deadline. --w3 under-30 line. caller: i want to bring up that i'm opposed to health care, and i switched from democrat to republican because of ron paul, and backing the constitution. i just feel that the constitution has been put on the back burner during this administration. i would like to have some comment on what the young americans can do to spread the word of the constitution and thus bring that back. -- and thus bringing that back to i will get off the line and let you answer. guest: thanks. again, woulwe talked about earlr is that if nothing else, young people are fiercely independent. in 2003, young people were actually more supportive of president bush in the early days of the iraq campaign than many other americans at that point. we're seeing over the last 10 years, or seven years since then, that they have faded away from the republican party towards democrats, bu

host: the first phone call is robert, from dallas, texas. he is a democrat.elter- skelter operation. we have had this in the system from the very beginning. there is no way to sit back and feel relaxed when we have people sleeping on the job, not showing up or even doing their job. there is something like, that organization from washington that was going to come to help the people during the flood and they did not do anything? we are looking at the government' and the attempts to cast blame has -- we do not even look out. let me ended with this. we say that the home-grown terrorists and the brutality of the armed forces against the middle east. we are making more enemies than we are supposed to be feeding the world, and be the leader of the world. we are not a leader. guest: i am not certain i can respond to the question about the overseas activities. i do not think that you can be so nice as a government that nobody is angry. but i think that this is unfair to say that tsa is full of people who are sleeping on the job. that is a difficult job. they are in a

and the mayor of dallas. everybody knows him. wonderful friend of mine -- she is a wonderful friend of mine went to work that america online. she is now the ceo of the chase, foundation. thank you for being with us. and then a man who needs no introduction, sam nunn. chief executive officer and a former senator. chairman of the senate arms committee. a man of many distinctions and the father of michele nunn. thank you so much for being here. we will start with melody and i'll start with saying, " but you focused on service? " thank you so much for the question of thank you for in fighting me here. it is such a pleasure. there is a tradition, is a sign of friendship and respect. i should say howdy. thank you. i love that question because it allows me to think back to the fact that our household had a culture of service. my father was a president of the pta and my mother was the president of the band boosters. we talked a lot about service. the earliest instances of service i can remember or both baking cup cakes for political camp

host: donald in dallas opposes the president's proposal. why is that? caller: we should not be over there at all. the whole premise for everything that we have been talking about for the last however long was not done -- 9/11 was a giant conspiracy. we paid the taliban $40 million shortly before that because they were good at eradicating the poppy fields. the gentleman yesterday said they are taking their money to fund of the war from the poppy fields. how could that possibly be if we were paying the money before their friends attacked us? it is ridiculous. i would also like to say, the hemp plant also likes the conspiracy. host: this message from twitter. bush and obama are the same. this is the lead editorial in "the washington post." host: jeff in west virginia supports the president. go ahead. i am sorry. that is randy, who opposes it, in michigan. caller: good morning. i oppose this war based on no draft. i am 52. i grew up with the threat of being drafted. i think we need to read and stil-instill it. when you grow up knowing that you have no choic

host: karl on the democrats' line in dallas, texas. realize that we are in a war of confusion.fense of the homeland, and for some extremists, striking at the enemy. at this point for al qaeda, the enemy happens to be christian, but a jihad is a much broader term. most muslims do not think of this necessarily as a war against christianity. nor do i think -- i think if you were to visit a muslim lands that i live in, he would find that muslims nieither ride camels nor are they -- at least the educated ones cap-- as retrograde as you describe them. we have to think about them in a much broader sense and complicated cents. -- sense. host: jack on the independents' line. caller: good morning, gentlemen. good morning, lovely miss libby. but the way, i was also an officer in vietnam in 1967, and i'm not a pacifist. but i agree completely with my figure to brothers in louisiana -- figurative brothers in louisiana, pennsylvania, and i forgot where the other guy called from. there has been a huge number of us in the united states that take real outrage at these wars, especially a crimina

and dalla dam is hope for afghan farmers. afghanistan has plenty of water but it doesn't have the ability to get water where it's needed. with correct water management, afghanistan is one of the most agriculturally rich countries in the region and can be an exporter of food. but with the destruction of irrigation systems and other infrastructure, they have less capacity now to distribute that water effectively than they did in the 1970's and we are helping them get back toward that. the dam is a great symbol for the afghan people. commitment i think is key. increased capability translate to credit built in the minds of afghans. they want to know that our intentions are to help them and they want us to prove that we can also delir deliver on that. commitment displayed by coalition nations and stepping up to short-term requirements has been key. and that resolve will be critical in the months ahead. given the clarity, capability and commitment we now bring to the mission, i'm confident we have the right strategy and resources.

he announced the bush center in dallas. guest: i don't think he wants to stick his oar in this.ter. what he did was where lyndon johnson made the same mistake and that was not naming his own cabinet immediately. that led him into some very bad things. in this case, his daddy's people did not serve him well at times and he should have -- i am sure he was capable but knowing that would have helped them. i think maybe he will come out better than and that is frequently the case when history has a chance to ponder this a little bit. host: look at harry truman. guest: uc eisenhower come up in the polls. time will take its course for george w. bush. host: there is more conversation had twitter.com2wj. twitter.com/cspan.org. caller: the war in israel has cost over $1 million and obamas in japan during with the sanctions. guest: i don't have a crystal ball. i have no insight into that. i think it is a president who has tried to put the two-state negotiations back on track. he has had problems as previous presidents have had. there seems to be unusual things going on in the netanyahu gov

dallas is 61% of people don't want this. stop coming out here saying the american people want this. the american people don't want this. you want it but the american people don't want it. leaders of your own party don't want it, the labor union doesn't want this, and most will small business doesn't want this. i've listened to anecdote after anecdote after anecdote from the other side and there's very touching stories and everybody is sympathetic with that, but you don't legislate using anecdotes because you're only here in one side of the store, you are not hearing of the fact that have to with anecdotes and say this will solve that. that is not the way you legislate and is certainly not with you argue a point. i've heard them come out, the other side say when we pass this 94% of american people will have insurance. will be covered by health insurance. you know, in court they say you have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and that is exactly why. you can't say 94% of the people are going to be covered. people say what a wonderful bill, it recover 94% of t
