. >> eleanor?khalid shaikh mohammed did give up those bits of information you cited, but according to the cia memos that the vice president wanted released, there's no evidence that he revealed this information after he was water boarded. and in fact, the evidence points the other way that the information came out earlier in the process when the process of trust was established. you do have a former fbi interrogator who walk add way from the case with zubaida because he had established trust and they started water boarding and weren't getting information. and khalid muhammad also said some of the things he said he made up in order to stop the pain. so i think that's no evidence here that the techniques work. the prosecutions that are going forward, the rule of law does matter, and they were contract agents that went beyond even the very, i would say, outlandish techniques that were approved by the cheney administration. we might as well call it for what it is. i think that america has reclaimed som

eleanor, peter, carmen st. george, first of all to you, eleanor odom, if i didn't have the nanny cam so when i am away from the twins, i can watch them constantly, i would go berserk if i kept calling home and nobody answered, i would assume the worst, something horrible had happened, that the place had burned down or the twins were sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. >> exactly. and it makes me wonder what ronald's got going on and whether or not he has to be at work. >> well, most of us do have to be at work. of course, he had to be at work. he punched a clock. he had to drive about 30 minutes away to get there. and i'm guessing, carmen st. george, that they had just had a huge argument, because she had been missing for three straight days, doing i don't know what. but i believe that he thought she wasn't picking up because they were in the middle of an argument. >> nancy, i think i would agree with you. and i think there's evidence that they had been out partying the weekend before haleigh went missin

eleanor roosevelt roles, wide open in the end zone.anor roosevelt was the game, 58-0, they are 3-0. >>> dematha planning friendship academy. the mustangs to dominate and they are unbeaten. >>> the nationals-mets. ryan zimmerman at bat. boo-yeah. he gets the fatback on the pitch, sends it to right field. washington holds on to beat new york, 6-5. >>> finally, floyd wjla -- floyd mayweather signed a contract to fight. the sign a contract, he will pay $3,000 per pound that he is overweight. the fight goes on as scheduled. >> who are you picking? >> mayweather, too big and strong. female announcer: from jennifer, get 40% off this bonded leather sofa, just $299, with very cool styling and so affordable. and at 40% off, it's just $299. from jennifer. you don't have to spend a lot to have good taste. >>> the weekend looks good? >> absolutely, just waiting for the cool front come through overnight. the high pressure moves in sunday night. saturday and sunday, lots of sunshine. sunday afternoon, it will be offshore, allowing the clouds to comme

eleanor, here we go again. diminishing point of returns on the speeches or no choice but to press on with them? >> i think it is former president lyndon johnson, a master of dealing with congress and said congress should be dealt with relentlessly and continuously and i think you have to apply that to the american public, as well. i think the white house learned the lesson of the summer where they lost the debate. they really didn't provide any counter point to all of the negative attacks that were out there. and i think he's now determined to blanket the air waves until he cuts a deal and he gave a great speech and he is a wonderful orator and better get a deal fast because the other recommendation of lyndon johnson is legislation that silts around starts to stink like a dead cat and time the not on this president's hand. he has to wrap this up quickly. >> okay, jonathan. i want the details. the white house now says that illegal immigrants barred from buying insurance through the exchanges that the government

and i said this before, channeling eleanor roosevelt is not a bad idea. it reminds us what is at stake as we move forward with our responsibilities, as does strobe's recent book, the great experiment. we have to have effective global institutions, that's not a choice. that's an imperative, it's up to us how to make them effective. united nations is a building and able to make those act by decisions by member nations. we in my view ignore it and walk away from it in our peril, especially in the 21st century, where interconnectiveness gives promise to those could be ignored in the post. no issue poses a more serious threat to our security and world, and it will be a main topic next week and beyond. the president outlined a robust arms control nonproliferation agenda in prague, and we believe that it sets the template of what we aspire to, moving to a world of zero nuclear weapons. we understand that won't be easy and it will be a generation aljen -generalization commitment, and we want to be on record and move our best efforts to move toward more effective

what no one wants to explain, let me ask eleanor.s to tell me how many banks will not fail. this is a question. moral hazard had a lot to do with this crisis. how are we going to solve that? what constitutes too big to fail?? >> well, i think, larry, that that is a central issue here. i think to get out of this moral hazard issue, we actually have to have some regulation with respect to capital and capital restraints. and we have to have a system where regulators can move in and close down institutions so that the government doesn't end up in a situation that cascades into this moral hazard area.. >> all right. we're going to leave it there, guys.. thanks to both of you for joining us. >>> we have a programming note. john harwood is down with president obama at 6:30 p.m. tune in at 8:00 p.m. for a special.

i have said this before but channelling eleanor is not a bad idea.as was the resent book "the great expirement." we have to have effective global institutions. the we ignore it and walk away from it at our par ill. that could have easily been ignored or marginalized in the past. we believe it sets the template for what we should aspire to moving toward the world of zero nuclear weapons. it might not happen in our lifetime. the united states will maintain a safe, secure, effective deturnt cape ability. we want to be on record and do our best effort to hopefully arive some day at that future goal. next week, the president will chair a meeting at the un security council. he will emphasize the important answer of the regime and the critical role the security council must play. the president has asked me to lead the conference. this will be the first time the secretary of state has attended. this will give me an opportunity to broaden us security interests. this means working to bring other nations into compliance, this includes north korea and iran. let

what do you make of it, eleanor? >> well, nancy, i think it's important to look at these polygraphs because it's not necessarily important whether they pass or fail but how the statements are inconsistent. here it sounds like ronald cummings is into his matrimonial bliss and is not willing to face what is actually going on with these tests. >> but i do think that there is more than a grain of truth, peter odom, to what anne bremner out of seattle said. this is not a state polygrapher like you would find at the, for instance, georgia bureau of investigation. it was not an fbi polygraph. it is a known polygrapher. that's true. but many people believe that there is a difference. and she could be considered a juvenile. >> right. well, nancy, i think the fact there are three different polygraphs that this young girl has taken and three different results tells you a lot about the unreliability of polygraphy. it's more art than science. that's why it's not admissible. and i'm shocked so many people are putting so much stock

eleanor, peter, carmen st. george, first of all to you, eleanor odom, if i didn't have the nanny cam so when i am away from the twins, i can watch them constantly, i would go berserk if i kept calling home and nobody answered, i would assume the worst, something horrible had happened, that the place had burned down or the twins were sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. >> exactly. and it makes me wonder what ronald's got going on and whether or not he has to be at work. >> well, most of us do have to be at work. of course, he had to be at work. he punched a clock. he had to drive about 30 minutes away to get there. and i'm guessing, carmen st. george, that they had just had a huge argument, because she had been missing for three straight days, doing i don't know what. but i believe that he thought she wasn't picking up because they were in the middle of an argument. >> nancy, i think i would agree with you. and i think there's evidence that they had been out partying the weekend before haleigh went missin

eleanor. when you're trying to determine the veracity or the truth of a witness's statement, you look for things that corroborate that statement. you and i have had to go in front of juries many, many times. listen, dope dealers, robbers, murderers, they don't hang out with nuns and priests and virgins. so often you have to corroborate what witnesses say. >> exactly. >> so let's take a look. what do we have in corroboration, eleanor? we have that night ronald cummings admittedly trying to reach misty croslin. she had been gone for three days, awol. partying three days. she comes home that night, they get in a huge big fight. he has to go to work. and by his own admission he calls, he calls-e calls, he calls, she won't pick up. he's calling all of her family. that corroborates what the brother's saying, that ronald called him and said i can't get her on the phone, please go to the house and check on her. >> you're exactly right, nancy. and what else helps as far as looking at it from the state'

congresswoman eleanor holmes norton is calling for presidential commission on security and freedom. she says it's needed to curb excessive security shutdowns of streets and federal buildings. the proposal came on the same day federal authorities asked for another traffic restriction in downtown d.c. tom sherwood is live with the story. >> reporter: treasury officials on 15th street had been asking that a little stretch of f street just up the block from here be made one way to discourage truck bombs. congresswoman norton is asking how much security is too much? a heavy police presence is common in d.c. these days, and tons of ugly security barriers fill walkways and streets all around town. >> is this good for deterring terrorists and keeping the street open? what i have found, tom, is no option gets explored except closing it down, shutting it off. the public paid for all of this. >> reporter: eleanor holmes norton, a senior member of committees on federal buildings and homeland security has had enough. >> we've got to stop telling people that we can't prevent everything and anythi

i always liked eleanor roosevelt's response when they asked her if she believed in reincarnation, she said, "i don't think it would be any more bizarre "for me to show up in another lifetime than it was for me to show up in this one." which always kind of made sense to me, you know? it's hard to figure all of this out. but where did i come from, where did i come from? so you ask yourself this perplexing question, "where did i come from?" and most of us, when we think about that question, we come up with an answer. and the answer is, as hard as it is for us to even imagine, our parents... did it.

but i do have to say i was a bit disturbed when the eleanor form commission which had all of these reforms coming out of what happened to blagojevich, the chief prosecutor in the george ryan case and he did a magnificent job they're all before the state legislature whichs now richard without passing hdly any of them. they were watered down. was beginning to think blagojevich was the exception of th now maybe i am willing to say after the dismal performance to change the culture. >> his argument is the house to raise this money because the house to go around the pow structure in did general assembly which was not going to budge. >> guest: there is some truth to that part of michael madigan did not want to have bgojevich pass any meaningful legislation primarily because he wanted to see his daughter windup become governor which she may. there was entnched interest but of the other hand he did absolutely nothing to form any political relationships with any of these people. host: but he did have a w alance withormer senate president which made a paid gridlock because nothing was moving either

the book may be a way you can recover some income, and yet representative jack franks of eleanor has gotten past a piece of legislation that says if you're convicted -- actually tried to say you can't get me profits off the book. >> this law that's unconstitutional would apply right now. they could actually prevent me from writing a living on the book. i welcome the challenge. i know what the first amendment is that i think it's ridiculous. if i could say how great patti was to do that. she ate a transient in the jungles of costa rica, all this because she's a loving mother and the circuits. she deserves all the credit. i was left for the whole month of june for heart with her two little girls. >> that's a reality show. cnet *your question. there is a possibility in the trial one thing you have to do is to bring some people in to testify. would you subpoena round the manual to testify if it meant the difference between you being free and going to jail to keep. >> absolutely. not only that but to the extent you can actually ask the president of the united states to come -- >> sp tenni

resident got a chance to weigh in on health care reform during a town hall meeting hosted by delegate eleanors norton last night. this one had a far different look than some of the heated debates around country. there were no speeches, opinions from the crowd, just questions and answers from a panel of medical an insurance experts. delegate norton will answer our questions on health care, i don't wilson's rebuke whether she joins us live in our new 9:00 hour. >>> changes in northern virginia are expect to cause a traffic nightmare. area of concern, rolling and fullerton roads in fairfax county right out-the-door sigh of fort belvoir. more than 8,000 new commuter could face that brother thanks to a brac project. sarah simmons joins us with more on how this will change traffic. >> reporter: good morning. the project is mainly in the fort belvoir north area but a lot of this work will be done on the base. some of it is going to need to be done on the roadways outside of the base just even look at the traffic here at this time of the day. it gives you an idea how busy and congested it already is

georges county is because the maryland native keeps an off- season home there, having graduated from eleanor roosevelt high in greenbelt, maryland. west was stopped at 10:00 last night for making an unsafe lane change while riding his motorcycle on central avenue. the officers found he had two handguns and a shotgun. he was arrested. although the officers describe him as very cooperative. he was traded to the cavaliers in a 2008 and in high school he led his roosevelt raiders to the first tournament appearance. he finished 4runners up. same year he was a "washington post" player of the year. the cavaliers are yet to make a comment. their training camp opens a week from monday. west now has a scheduled court appearance on november 20th. that day his team has a game in indiana. anita? >> thank you for the update. >>> we have more breaking news. time out of maryland. you are looking live at a water main break. this is in a neighborhood southeast baltimore county. as you can see, lots of water down there. if you look to the top of your screen, you look down there and you see all of that brown st

eleanor roosevelt, world war ii, and women did their part. again, they wanted, americans wanted the white house to reflect that. the sacrifices and the volunteerism. then with jackie kennedy, lady bird johnson, you saw them taking on very specific parts of the national agenda. and whether it was something eave like historic preservation or environmental protection, there is always a political component. and i think it is interesting. michelle obama is playing a role interestingly that people don't realize this, more one that was almost perfect by pat nixon who would look at parts of the president's agenda that spoke to her and would go out and sort of rally support for it. as opposed to some efforts she wanted to initiate that became part of the president's agenda, that she then sort of will he the way. this idea of spokesperson is actually not one that is always played by first ladies. >> carla anthony, thanks so much. >> to talk to you. >> thank you. >> i think it is so interesting, there is this question of what our expectations are of som

i said this before, but i think that channelling eleanor roosevelt is not a bad idea. it reminds us what is at stake as we move forward with responsibilities as does strobe talbott's new book, "the great experiment." we have to have effective institutions. that is not a choice, that is an imperative. it is up to us to determine how to make them effective. united nations is a building. it is not able to act in the absence of decisions made by those member nations. in my view we ignore it and walk away from it at our peril especially in the 20th century we're interconnectedness gives voice and prominence to the viewers that could have easily been either ignored or marginalized in the past. few issues reflect the need for global architecture of cooperation more than a nuclear non-proliferation. no issue poses a more serious threat to security or the world and will be a main topic of discussion and beyond. now, the president outlined a robust and ambitious arms control and nonproliferation agenda in prague earlier this year, and we believe it sets the template for what we

i have said this before, but i think that channeling eleanor roosevelt is not a bad idea.t reminds us of what is at stake as we move forward without responsibilities, as does strobes recent book, the great experiment. we have to have effective global institutions. that is not a choice. that is an imperative. it is up to us to determine how to make them effective. united nations is a building. it is not able to act in the absence of the decisions made by those member nations. we, in my view, it and walk away from it at our peril, especially in the 21st century, where interconnectiveness gives voice and prominence to views that could have easily been either ignored or marginalized in the past. few issues reflect the need for a global architecture of cooperation, more than nuclear nonproliferation. no issue poses a more serious threat to our security or the worlds, it will be a main topic of discussion next week and beyond. now the president outlined a robust and ambitious arms control and nonproliferation agenda in prague earlier this year. and we believe that it sets the te

delegate eleanor holmes norton. she is fed up with what she's calling excessive security in the district. d.c. is used to having a heavy police presence. there are also security barriers designed to deter terrorists, but norton says those measures are also keeping the public out. she's calling for measures to make them more accessible to taxpayers. >> time for weather. it is 5:49. here's tom. >> good morning. we did have a few passing showers overnight so some of the roads are a little bit damp just to the north and west of washington this morning. so you might want to allow yourself a little extra time, take it easier. fender-bender kind of road conditions up that way. generally dry pavement around washington and points south and east. there is the washington skyline. it's all cloudy on this thursday morning. a rather muggy, almost summer like morning here early fall. now 74 in washington. as we look at the radar, we don't have any precipitation around although we did have those overnight showers exiting over the n

he spoke in the great tradition of teddy roosevelt who first spoke about national health care and eleanor roosevelt who talked about it, harry truman who spoke 60 years ago from this well about that need and this nation. he spoke in the great tradition of john kennedy and lyndon johnson who saw that medicaid and medicare were passed in 1965. i was very, very proud to be part of this body last night and i'll be even prouder when a vote comes up. over the speaker's rostrum engraved in stone is a quote from daniel webster, let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, 3wil8d on its institutions, plote all its great interest, and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered. daniel webster's calling to us to heed barack obama's call to pass national health care in the great tradition of american leaders and do something worthy to be remembered. i look forward to that opportunity. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas

cole built a full symphony york, eleanor roosevelt, and lou gehrig's private physician and a number of luminaries in the medical world. we will also hear spock referred to issues in the program in which he appears. the opposition has a hard time fielding anybody for this show as a counterpoint. >> league final call and our medicare program takes place on march 23, 1965 as lbj talks to house leaders and the assistant secretary of health, education, and welfare. what happens to medicare on that date? >> this is the day on which the ways and means committee voted affirmatively to pass medicare. this does take us 40 bid into 1965. the electoral changes did make a big difference -- this does take us forward a bit into 1965. the electoral changes did make a big difference. the old adage back in 1964 and even in 1962, when kennedy was pushing for medicare, was that we need the 13th vote. they did better than that. they ended up with 17 votes on that date in favor of medicare. wilbur mills saw that immediately. he is making speeches in late 1964, after the election, to chambers of commerce and
