think, put it in some sort of isolated bubble like a peace process that we could set up, say like the dayton accords, or we look for models and things like this. the one thing that really needs to be, i think, discussed -- and the next panel will talk about this -- is that this is about power sharing. and this is trying to get groups that are reconcilable and can move beyond those three nos which used to be at the front end of discussions and talks and now, as secretary clinton talked about, are now on the back end. reject al-qaeda. if that's the case, then what is on the table in terms of the discussions in reconciliation at high level? >> uh-huh. and brian just pointed to the difference between reconciliation, reintegration. reconciliation, high-level political decisions, reintegration is low-level fighters. we've seen some pretty good progress on reintegration, starting to see small groups of taliban, as many as 50 at a time, deciding it isn't fun anymore and deciding to join the afghan government and afghan security forces. i think as with everything in afghanistan the government has, ha

host: dayton, ohio, good morning. tom on our independent line. caller: i agree with that guy who was talking right there. we definitely need the regulations. i work for a major distributor of food, and they deregulated that, we did not have the fda in there. the people out here eating this food should really wonder -- we've got to have these regulations. you cannot trust these companies know more, because it is all about the bottom dollar, it is not about america no more. the multinational companies, it makes me so mad. we are in american company by name only. in other words, we do not give a dam about you. host: if you follow the supreme court, they had a case looking at walmart -- and this case dealt with pay and promotions for current and former female employees. it was whether this large group of women should be allowed to band together in a lawsuit against walmart. this class-action lawsuit could potentially cause the company billions. we have audio from the court case and we invite you to listen to it today. you can see that on c-span at 7:

the next call is from dayton, ohio. tom is an independent.aller: this guy is talking about cutting and p r. -- cutting n p r. he talks about obamacare. john boehner wants to take the government and force states to except on qualified health-care companies to do business in their states. that is their program. they are saying that obamacare violates rights. guest: i happen to agree with you about that. federal state regulators do not know best when it comes to their own markets. i will tell you this. couple on elderly medicare that adopted a young 4- year-old girl, then they went to go by the crew health insurance, and it turns out every insurer in georgia dropped out of the market because of burdensome regulations and obamacare. when we try to do something at the federal level, our hearts might be in the right place, but the results are perverted by the time they reach back home. here is a family that wants to purchase health care but cannot do it because those policies have been abolished because they were not able to comply with obamacare.

they were irritated these two mechanics from dayton had done it.ng at the level of the budget committee, the appropriations committee, the authorized committee, at the level of the office of management and budget, the level of the white house that says we are now going to distinguish between investments and expenses which is what we do. when i was speaker we decide to balance the federal budget. we consciously said thanks in part to john porter and connie mack, that we're going to double the size of an age because we will set priorities. i think the country will support a smart effort to get to a balanced budget, the country will not support a cheap effort to get to a balanced budget. cheap effort will sell out the future on behalf of current interest groups. >> and then to follow up on that with more support for the basic research, there still are, as you've noted, a number of steps to get from that to insights to product that patients can ask are used to improve their care, to head off the brain diseases. you talk about some of the challenges wit

clint, dayton, ohio, good morning. caller: i believe the republicans have everything wrong. people collect them because they didn't have jobs, they were not about cuts. republicans have not put up a proposal for any kind of jobs. these " current proposals are just going to lose more jobs. at least 100,000 people will be out of work. it will look bad for the president of the next election. that is their plan. doing the same thing for last election. this budget thing is going to cut more people out of work. host: john wants to respond to jan's. -- host: from "the washington post" this morning, "given a rest." host: dave, tennessee, good morning. caller: good morning. i want to talk about the rise and budget for a second. i want to throw out some corrections. first of all, america today is composed of one-third republicans, one-third republicans, and one-third independence. we have a real bad conversation going on here, talking around each other instead of to each other. here is the simple truth, the bush tax cuts were extended by the 111th congress, which had an overwhelmingly

they were irritated these two mechanics from dayton had done it. what i am proposing is a fundamental rethinking at the level of the budget committee, the appropriations committee, the authorized committee, at the level of the office of management and budget, the level of the white house that says we are now going to distinguish between investments and expenses which is what we do. when i was speaker we decide to balance the federal budget. we consciously said thanks in part to john porter and connie mack, that we're going to double the size of an age because we will set priorities. i think the country will support a smart effort to get to a balanced budget, the country will not support a cheap effort to get to a balanced budget. cheap effort will sell out the future on behalf of current interest groups. >> and then to follow up on that with more support for the basic research, there still are, as you've noted, a number of steps to get from that to insights to product that patients can ask are used to improve their care, to head off the brain disea

this matters a lot to dayton, ohio. if those -- if one of those three that has been defined as having a mission, going up, and the enterprise is defined as less so, generally, if one of them goes to the smithsonian, does that mean the enterprise will go somewhere else? >> if one of them ends up at the smithsonian, they only get one. i will take possession of an enterprise and it will be up to nasa to determine where the enterprise does. >> if one of these three goes to the smithsonian, can you make a decision tomorrow? you will decide where some go the consolation prize, some call it much more than that, make that decision then? >> i make the decision between when i leave this session and when i announce it tomorrow where all four space shuttle orbiters are going. when i make the announcement marked it will be very specific. it will cite the order and its destination. -- the orbiter and it's destination. this has been as pure as i can make it and free of political involvement. i can say that until i am live in the face,

often put it in some sort of isolated bubble like a peace process that we could set up, say like the daytonccords and look for models and things like this. what needs to be discussed is that this is about pour sharing -- power sharing and getting groups that can move beyond the three no's that used to be at the front end of discussions and are now in the back end, reject violence, accept the constitution, and reject al-qaeda. what's on the table of discussions and reconciliation at high level? >> uh-huh, and brian just pointed the difference of reconciliation and integration. reconciliation, high-level political decisions. reintegration is low-level fighters. we have seen good progress on reintegration. as many as 50 decide it's not fun anymore and decide to join the afghan government and afghan security forces. i think as with everything in afghanistan, the government has not be as responsive or proactive in terms of providing those offramps for the taliban, and i hope to see progress there. i think the reconciliation progress will be more difficult in afghanistan than iraq. in iraq, they

earlier this week to help in this fight governor dayton declared a state of emergency for 46 minnesota counties, north dakota has been declared a state of emergency. fema said it will have all the resources it will need and main its capability during a shutdown. however, if the federal government closes its doors, fema will not be able to process in a timely manner paperwork and applications that minnesotans will be submitting for assistance once the waters recede. i have been through these flood fights before, mr. president. the whole community comes together. the whole community fights that flood. they take days and days and days. some of them have lost their houses and still out there helping their fellow citizens. i see that and wonder to myself, and we, in this body, and in this congress can't come together when we are this close, when there was an agreement on a number last night, we can't come together while these volunteers in minnesota and north dakota are coming together on a flood fight. that is absurd. i urge my colleagues that are holding this up reconsider their all or no
