they need to feel the federal government is helping them, not impeding em. to think that we are going to borrow or print money to send abroad, some of it to people that we might not necessarily want to lend money to, and have to put that on the backs of our service men and women because they know that it will be difficult for us as republicans to vote against it, is really in my opinion shameful in a lot of ways. so much of what we do here, i understand there's differences in ideology. there's differences in principles about what government should be. but if we have a clean military funding bill, then it should stand on its own. if off clean i.m.f. bill to loan money to foreign countries, then it should stand on its on. the majority is the majority. if it's a good idea, it'll pass. they have the congress, they have the white house. why should it be attached to something that has nothing to do with funding our soldiers abroad. i recently got back from iraq and afghanistan. i recently visited guantanamo bay, cuba. one thing that impresses me more than anything

don't hang 'em. he is tied for the most home runs in the american league. again, not very good at night. 3-1 in the daytime. and we do have a twilight. you don't want to think it's a night game tonight. >> jim h.: do you really think about those kind of things as pitchers? >> jim p.: i'm just trying to come up with something. there it is. >> rob: i like the nighttime. >> jim p.: i couldn't see at night because of my vision. i liked to pitch in the day. >> rob: myra ra is better in the day. >> jim h.: with jeremy guthrie, the important inning, you could probably say this about every pitcher, but especially guthrie, the important inning is the first inning. the breaking ball down and in. 1-1 on harris. >> rob: there's willie harris from georgia, by the orioles. he's been around a long time. he can play every position, except maybe pitch. >> jim p.: he came up as an oriole. jim, you did the interview with him where actually he played, what, second base and brian roberts played shortstop. >> jim h.: a base hit into right field. yeah, they were both drafted in 9

a base hit to crief em-- drive home melvin mora. then, another pitch by ty wigginton that. scores another run. luke scott comes in to score. it's a one-run game finally for the third pinch-hitter oscar salazar who delivers the game- tying base hit up the middle to make it 6-6 with two outs in the ninth inning and jeremy guthrie scored. they have done a great job of some of the elyse lead pitchers of baseball. rose roarses, the closers of the mets. they got a couple of walks in an inning against him. ryanan madson on saturday give up two home runs in that comeback win by the orioles in philadelphia. last night, matt lindstrom got two quick outs and gave up the three-run deficit as the orioles came back and tied it. unfortunately, he they didn't like the outcome after 12 innings last night it orioles have shown you have to get them out all 27 outs. they're not going to give up. unfortunately for the birds, they were not able to pull out the win in extra innings. when you look over a one-run game and look at the things that may have happened, mistakes and misplays can be costl

he says ala, ems zalmay are you the god of the koran are are you the god of the bible? and that night, he did fall asleep and he told me that he had a dream and industry and he was standing on the side of the road and he realized it was a parade. there were people lined up on both sides cheering and men on horses were coming up the road. as they approach you realize these for profits. this was abraham, this was noaa, these were the profits coming up the road and every time one of them pass people would cheer, as did he. he kept waiting to see mohammed face to face. this great honor and mohammed never showed. he was not in this line of profits. the last person coming was riding on a donkey. shrouded in a white robe. [applause] and he said, he just said i could not believe i was saying that but i shouted out, are you jesus? and the man pulled back his shroud and smiled and nodded and he said, this man said i was flooded with a love and a hope and a joy and a ps i had never experienced in my entire life and i knew at that moment that god had answered my prayer. he told me

ems can't sit on the loan for that long time because they don't have the liquidity to do it. they go to their realtor or local mortgage broker trying to package a loan for them and go out and shop the loan. the marketplace it seems like we're making it much more difficult and hamstringing it in more ways by saying, an agreement that, perhaps works in new york and maybe it's goodor the state of new york, i don't know -- but it doesn't seem to be the best thing for the state of california and many other parts of the nation, to make it much more difficult and place much more control in the hands of one bank rather than having an individual being able to shop a loan with numerous banks. because the problem is, if you approach a bank for a loan they'll do the appraisal and you can't take it to another bank because the appraisal is proprietary property of the lender. i don't know why we're going in this direction. maybe you can tell me. i understand fraud. but we can deal with fraud. if you have appraisals writing improper or fraudulent appraisals you can hold that appraise ear cou

>> the bokes has put a strong em-- obama administration has put a strong emphasis. he spoke at the national academy of sciences and called for this level of mobilization. but i think the key place where you see the obama administration pushing this is in the support for higher standards in english, math, and science, across the board. but the work more so -- i don't mean not to answer this but it's both the states that are also pushing this right now. the council of chief state school officers and the national governors association just came out two weeks ago for the common core, which is joining together for clearer standards. and the question is will they take up science next. >> our guest is with us until 9:00 a and the discussion we are going to have is about math and science education in the united states. tennessee, doug on our independent line. you are up first. caller: good morning. i really -- what bothers me about this whole mads and science thing is i think -- math and science thing is you have to realize that american students don't see a big incentive t

concern because the threat of the iranian nuclear program emanates not from the technology, but it 'em mates -- emanates from the regime that will ultimately wield it. we're concerned over the intentions of this regime, its involvement in international terrorism, its continued, continued source of instability for iraq, for afghanistan, and so i think what's happening within iran now is certainly a hopeful sign. it may not be a hopeful sign for very long, but i think it's an opportunity to refocus on the center of gravity in this whole debait. >> so what does the president do? >> i think right now the most important thing the president can do and he's done so at least to some extent is try to create that empty political space within iran so there is an opportunity for opposition forces to organize, and a part of that has to do with the fact that he has to articulate to the eye rape yang regime -- iranian regime a deal, any other deal is not unequivocally supported by the west. there are things that could derail that deal such as brutality on the part of the regime towards the people, su

a bipartisan message, for many years we talked about having the environment and the economy not be em battling and don't -- not pitted against each other and it is a good thing for the environment and the economy when the environment is clean and the economy is working and in california that has been a big issue, climate change is a huge issue and oil imports are a huge economic issue for california and so he's saying, listen, you know, take heart, in these messages, because we need to think ahead and california hopefully will be the exporter of these technologies. >> dib bra gordon, coauthor of "two billion cars, driving towards sustainability". >> here's a look at up coming book fairs and festivals over the next few months: : the louse founding father because it really was one of the last on and fathers of our nation. >> why another bio on james monroe? >> it is more complete, or information found the three older records and archives and we're finding there is still a lot of patriotic interest out there so i want to continue to see that market. >> white house? >> a wonderful biograp

i got 'em when i was 20. i'm reluctant to take them out. i don't know what that indicates. michael jordan has earrings so, you know, it's not a gang symbol. the question, though, really, the important central question, i think, is this question of whether the antiwar movement aided and abetted the enemy and continued the war. and the question, i guess, i would ask back is what's the alternative? if a war is illegal, immoral, slaughtering innocents and as john kerry said to the u.s. senate when he came back from vietnam, we killed, we committed war crimes every day not as a matter of choice, but as a matter of policy. and that was true. so what is the responsibility of citizenship? i might tell you that i think of myself as a patriot, but i don't think of myself as a nationalist, and i think there's an important difference. i think a patriot is somebody who wants their country to live up to its own ideals and to universal ideals of human rights and freedom and democracy and justice. a nationalist is somebody who says my country right or wrong, whatever it does doesn't matter
