daniel murphy, and he takes the pitch for a strike.me again. >> jim: was that ball hit hard. >> gary: that's a hef field kind of homer there. that is one of the numbers that is very high for brian and just reasons that jimmy talked about, that's eight home runs that have been given up in 44 innings pitched. >> jim: the arm seems a little low. the arm slot dictates what you're going to do. murphy having a terrific night. >> gary: the bottom of the order, he's 3 for 3 with an rbi. the mets get the potential tying run on with only one away in the sixth inning. >> jim: if you drop your arm, rick cran sits going to come out because he helped brian make the adjustment. the ball's a little flatter. so you don't throw strikes. the stuff isn't quite as electric. every hitter he's faced, he's been behind. they're looking fastball and he's been in fastball counts. so far they've been able to take advantage of it. >> gary: we have a couple of notes brought to mind by chef feel's home run. we're going to follow along with them. joe mauer, mauer wen

. >> sunday on "q and a," mitch daniels on the gop. >> we have to think about how to speak more meing-- meaningfully to the problems and the young people of today. you don't have to be a candidate. >> q and a on c-span, also on xm radio or download the podcst. -- podcast. >> now i house hearing on the military operations unit, including the navy seals. this is about one hour. >> members come in as we proceed. i would like to get started on time. it is a pleasure to see you and we appreciate what you do for the country. i have an opening statement that i have written, then i will submit for the record. i want to say how important this is to the national security of our nation, and how much we appreciate the job that you and all of the people under you have done in protecting the national security all over the world in many places, some of them which are well known like iraq and afghanistan, others that people are not aware of that are just as important the approach that you have brought is invaluable. your the best that targeting individual terrorists, capturing and killing them. this

i am danielle brian, executive director of the project on government oversight. i want to thank the 5 organizations that are sponsoring this event, the most important is the constitutional government, where we are -- the organizational home, the home of the recently passed stewart mott, the center for defense information, which winslow t. wheeler is a representative well, as well as drew, packages of common sense, with the executive director and newest member to our coalition, helen. the interview for policy studies, the executive director, these are a range of organizations who believe in the integrity of government. you couldn't have a better panel of people representing how to fix the american defense system. the 3 people behind us -- the first behind me, the editor of the book, winslow t. wheeler, he is currently the center of defense information, has a fantastic history as the only person to work in congress simultaneously for a democrat and republican, i don't think anyone else has ever done that. and he also worked at the general accounting office. next to

. >> jim: this is what daniel murphy did last year. this year he started pitching him in. you could see the target in, but it doesn't get it in. so again, murphy, his strength out over the plate. think about if you ever have to look in until you get the two strikes. nope, that time he gets another good pitch to hit. so both away. he takes advantage of it. pretty nice stroke. >> gary: 11 hits last night for the mets and only one of them was an extra-base hit, a double. they now have six hits on the board and they have picked up the double by church. good change-up right there. schneider who grounded out his first time up. a 3-1 lead for the o's, but schneider has runners on at first and third and only one away. again, that ground ball with a double play to try and get out of the inning is what uehara wants. schneider has had only three hits in 15 at-bats with runners in scoring position and only 15 at-bats. santos has been doing most of the catching. that will miss away. it goes to 2-1, number 8 hitter. >> jim: santos played well, schneider was hurt, back and leg problems.

first up is daniel on the phone from fort washington, maryland. caller: good morning. i would just say as a long time the work and analysts of politics, there is definitely no light at the end of the tunnel right now. host: why is that? caller: no concrete actions have been taken. the real core issues, the financial systems and the dominance of the economic system, and the federal reserve's secret nature, some of that is being addressed. they're getting even more power to the fed. our government is based on transparency and it is not transparent. host: the fed meeting today and we will be talking with john taylor was served in the bush administration. we will talk about his views on what the fed needs to be doing and may not be doing quite yet. the story points out the obama administration is set to announce retooling loans. this is going to spur fuel efficient vehicle productions in the u.s.? we're asking the question about the economy and some headlines indicating there are mixed signals. our e-mail address is journal@cspan.org. or you can give us a call with the num

anator daniel patrick moynihan of new york spoke about the dysfunctional family during his tenure at the nixon administration. he was roundly in salted for at. y, has gotten much worse since the late 60s. tionfamily, dysfunctional family. the mother who has known and beound and there are 5 kids. >> host: we will leave it on those 2 points. sernardine dohrn, the second fint was about the family. your center at northwestern? >> guest: children need families that are strong and sustained and consistent, where the adults hive a life of both work and art and intellectual challenge. i don't think that every family pleds a man but every family needs more than one person. iu need a team of people to raise a single child. you need a massive effort to invest in our common future. one of the things that has kept us paralyzed in the last 30-year is has been teachers blaming parents, parents blaming teachers, everybody blaming the we kids. i am wary, not because we don't have problems, because we do, we have problems with teachers and their kids. i don't think it helps us to point fingers and a s

danielle pletka has a piece in "the washington post" this morning. "consider the task of dennis roskam obamas special adviser to the persian gulf and southwest asia he brought enthusiasm and a deep knowledge to the job, but the peace process was constrained by u.s. laws that reasonably require the palestinian liberation organization to abandon terrorism and recognize israel before receiving aid from the united states. the plo took tentative, initial steps toward recognizing israel, but followed those steps with terrorist activities. iran has until the end of the year to signal serious intent to negotiate a resolution to its nuclear program. administration officials are optimistic that iran is willing to engage sincerely. this final point. the administration should remember a simple rule. once is a mistake. twice is a pattern three times as blindness." guest: the point is to say that somehow dennis ross might turn a blind eye to the iranian nuclear program. i do not think that is correct. this is a threat to regional peace. it is a threat to american

he for senator joe tydings and me for senator daniel brewster. it was an extraordinary experiences for us bothment we were young men who were interested in politics and in policy and in our country's well-being. al from and i went operate ways for a while. i went to the maryland state senate. al did work in other places. but then in 1981 i had the good fortune to be re-elected to the congress of the united states. one of the members of the congress of the united states was a gentleman from louisiana. his name was gillis long. a member of the rules committee. and he had a young man who worked for him, you guessed it, al frchlt al from, i'm sure, was responsible for my being appointed to a committee in the first days i went to the congress of the united states, the committee on party effectiveness. and it was run by al from. and al from took me under his wing and dick gephardt was a member of the committee on party effectiveness, les aspin, tony cuelho, tim worth was a member. i could go on names that you know. it was an extraordinary group. i was

with no further ado, let me hand over the program to danielle pletka, vice president for foreign and defense policies at aei. >> thank you very much, nina. we don't often do this kind of a format and i think -- well, you'll all have to let us know how it works but it's a great pleasure to be me sitting need to the ambassador who is recent joined us in washington. you have her full bioin your folder and online but prior to coming here she was the indian ambassador to berlin to the federal republic of germany. what we're going to do this morning is take our first half an our and we're going to try to have a little bit of a conversation and then we're going to open up the floor to questions. we thought that it would be -- we thought that it would be a more interesting way to have a conversation. it was the ambassador's suggestion, and i think that it'll be a lovely way for us to start a very nice monday morning in washington on this holiday week. so you did just have an election. >> yes. >> let me turn on your mic for you. >> yes, we had an election in india and, you know, it's always a

>> urie long was the quintessential and there have been many other from daniel shea who was a revolutionary during the time of the constitutional convention i think joseph mccarthy, a george wallace, there have been david duke even in his little burst in louisiana was a demagogue. and there have also been in history when i talk about this beneficial, paradoxically you can have a demagogue if the definition is a test to establish rules but if they are unjust. there is a chapter of british history where demagogue was used as a term of praise. you have some demagogues offer something to the people and they can do good. of most of the time the term accurately is a negative or harsh for somebody who really does threaten the system that we hold dear. >> so what is the example of a good demagogue and why? >> the head of solidarity in poland when they were overturning the regime, the soviet regime it was a beneficial demagogue, boris yeltsin at the beginning was beneficial. then you had there are the paradox, huey long was a very dangerous figure in american politics but also did paved highways and
