but the problem is is that it is the same individual -- etc., etc. and if we went to achieve the most savings but, more importantly, perhaps most effectively address the needs of that single person, we would start combining and finding overlapping jurisdictions and finding ways that we could better integrate the services that we are trying to offer, and your budget alone, even after you take education, has got to be hundreds of programs, and some individuals are eligible for half of them. are eligible for half of them. one of the things that has been done around the country for example is to set up school based health clinics. i know we had some opposition when i did that as mayor of alexandria virginia, but once it was set up, we have reduced the level of teenage pregnancies and thus abortions. we founded a number of cases of cancer that adolescence never would have had a checkup and identified at an early stage. mental health problems, etc., and we achieve the kind of coordination, collaboration that they think best serve the individual. now, i am

there that could support a population, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. schools and chumps fill that bill quite readily, so most of them are either churches or schools throughout the u.s. we had the shelters before katrina, but after katrina we actually put those into a database, so the first time in a computer database we could see where they were at short notice, what might be available, and also when we actually have a disaster, our local chapters will report back to us how many shelters are open, numbers of people in the shelters, etc. >> okay. and the school issue is interesting to me because you obviously in a catastrophic disaster that we had and others have had when people move into schools for a long period of time, it's hard to actually operate the school. and one of the essential ingredients of recovery for parents with children is to get their children back in school as soon as possible because then at least when the children are in school, the parents can go about all the work that they need to do to rebuild their home, their business, etc. h

part of the criteria when we look at buildings with safety construction etc. is to have facilities to support a population, kitchen, bathroom, etc., schools and churches fill the bill quite readily so most of them are either churches or schools throughout the u.s.. we had the shelters before katrina, but after katrina we actually put those into a database so the first time in a computer database we could see where they were at short notice, what might be available and also when we have a disaster of local chapters will report back on the shelters and the number of people in the shelters etc.. >> and the school issue is interesting to me because you obviously in a catastrophic disaster that we had and others have had. when people move into schools for a long period of time it's hard to back to the operate the school. and one of the essentials in ingredients of recovery for parents with children used to get their children back in school as soon as possible because at least then when the children are in school that parents can go about all the work they need to d

., etc. but deep inside them they are religious in a fanatic way because of childhood, so we cannot get rid of childhood, of the psyche because religion is embedded in our psyche since we are children, and that's why i am very much against religious education to children, but the problem is, in fact, what i am saying may be a bit radical, but we need to be radical. we need. we need to be radical. because are we going to have this world going on like that? or should we speak up? it's time. it's time to speak up. even you can discuss with me, but through this discussion we can reach something because this cannot go on. what's happening in afghanistan, what's happening in egypt, you know, if i come to circumcision, female circumcision, it's increasing since the islamic groups have power under sadat, female circumcision increased, and now we have the percentage of female circumcision in egypt now is 97 percent. and male circumcision also is very harmful, but people are silent. they don't speak ab

handles lumps, etc., by providing mass ectmies to women. other countries may not do that. in part it may be that the tests come much more lower, much more difficult to get in other countries but it also brings up the other point, we need to make sure that physicians are empowered to provide that ongoing primary care so they can monitor the patients, get the tests they need. unfortunately we have a system that pays for quantity, not quality. it pays for defensive medicine, not really workg on prevention. let me read you an important quote. this comes from the "new yorker" magazine. it is about texas towns and it says between 2001 and 2005, critically ill medicare patients received almost 50% more specialist visits in mcallen, texas, than in el paso, and were more likely to see so 10 or more specialists, why? there's a different approach to care and that is providing more care, providing more surgical procedures, etc., doing more tests, that were not necessarily warranted. you have another area like where the mayo clinic is up in rochester, minnesota, where that dominates th

foreign automakers are huge employers especially in states like alabama and missouri, toyota, honda etc employee americans so we are not just talking about cars made in japan or elsewhere and imported in the u.s.. these people are built in large factories and in the rapidly expanding employers of the u.s.. >> host: michigan, up next for corey boles on the democrats' line. >> caller: yes, i am worried about -- i know that human nature, people to get advantage of the situation. is there any danger people taking advantage of the government program and also i would like to ask you, corey, how long does it take in the morning to cut your own hair? >> guest: there's always an advantage, people taking the risk of government programs. there's a lot of waste of their. that is one way to see -- >> host: and there's a billion dollars that is a limited time frame, a limited amount money that is >> guest: depending on the success of the go or not there will be the renewed coming to perhaps change the standard, change hauer it works but the basic principle i think is support out there. >> host: here

etc.. dennis kucinich about a week and half are so adel is being interviewed and was asked a question, barack obama and the democrats in congress have decided that a ceo or any other officer in a bank for any other company receiving government funds was going to have a salary cap a $500,000. kucinich was asked about this analyst this fair or corrupt and he sat there and pointed at bill clinton and said, the had a choice whether they took our money or not and to take it we all knew. what is your opinion? >> well, let's not pretend that a ceo who when he took over, whose stock was selling at $50 a share and today is selling at $2 a share, let's not pretend he deserves $20 million a year because of anybody else ran the company into the ground --. [applause] they would be thrown out. so i think fact. but here is -- and i also think the following switches when i really glad you asked that because i want to get to this point. i think these ceo's who don't have a clue flying in on private jets and

scott fitzgerald, etc. borrows belongs in that top tier. i'd say he's one of the top writers we've ever had and in my opinion one one of the finest naturalists. t.r. loved him. he had borrows come with him out to jell-o stone. they went camping and hiking together. roosevelt when spend time with his wife and kids. the only guest he would have is john boar rose. they would go bird watching. their correspondence was largely about what they're each seeing. there's no higher compliment to theodore roosevelt that john borrows thought his best writing wasn't about hunting, but about preservation. >> you had a very personal note in there about john borrows. you said that he loved walt whitman. in a par then call expression, you wrote, there's no evidence that they had a homosexual relationship. why did you need to write that? >> because walt whitman was gay. whitman literally adopted borrows. he had these extraordinary matinee idol looks. they basically had love notes to each other. he became a great student of walt whitman. whitman could have pic

people from within the communities we trained on social mobilization, interpersonal communications etc. to begin the process of building the community engagement needed to be able to eradicate polio to get the population immunity up to the levels that will stop transmission. as we worked with the underserved communities to engage them as well this required use of another tool we weren't used to, certainly in the immunization in the areas i have been working in and that was the widespread use of social mapping to figure out how we reach these populations. for those of you to medications are probably second nature and for those of us who are doctors and used to approach to medical problems and other way a lot of this is to a certain degree new but this is an example you see here from the tribal areas of pakistan border in right on afghanistan and as you can see they have mapped out the long the different parts of this travel agency were at them radio reaches, where they have taliban meetings, etc. to be able to mobilize and engage the committee so increasingly more and more sophisticated

this is where fm radio reaches, where they had these taliban meetings, announcements, etc. to be able to mobilize and engage the community. so increasing at an increasingly more and more social mapping to figure out where the people are and what they will respond to. the other thing is bringing again professional management, accountability, also to what we are doing an area of communications. this is just an example of using indicators to monitor what's happening in terms of our social mobilization and back. in august, july actually we began investing heavily in terms of community immobilizes in this area of karachi. and you can see how we track over time what happens in terms of refusals. and then finally we need to develop against special strategies for very specific issues. as you can see here, not everyone thought polio eradication was an absolutely wonderful idea and they have to adapt our strategies as we would look forward to deal with these issues and to ensure that the communities were fully engaged. again, using locally appropriate mechanism where the community di

kitchens, bathrooms, etc. churches fill that bill readily. so most of them are churches or schools throughout the united states. we did have the shelters before katrina, but afterwards, we put them in a database, so for the first time we could see where they were at short notice and, what could be available. and our local chapters report back to us on numbers, etc. >> the issue of school was interesting to me, because when people move into schools for a long time, it is hard to operate a school. and one of the essential ingredients of recovery for parents and children is to get their children appear -- children back as soon as possible. r

., etc. so as happens to every figure of the media, part of him has now passed. he will endure and he will remain but there needs to be an active recovery. that was one of the motives that compels me to write this book. among the many things they tried -- i tried to recover was is a fact as a public figure. he was stylish, funny, both conservatives and remote liberals now remembered in universally acknowledge that. it was all-important to us too have a conservative stylish and funny but the liberals, it please them and they were entertained by the spectacle and not pretend so much buy the style of humor. but we also have to remember that bill was very aggressive and especially the further back you look. view click on some of the youtube segments, the bill could be a killer. if he thought you were arguing from authority conferred only by passion or if you were threatening the country or the wellbeing or its piece, he would cut you a new-line. and he did it over and over a dam. my favor instanc

.. -- of having illnesses, etc. i have a vietnam veteran that the -- he passed away, but the v.a. had told him that agent orange has been resolved, so essentially we are not going to deal with you. and he had to -- luckily, he was helped by the medical organization that -- by the medical organization in farmington, conn. guest: we republicans did not seay let them eat cake, we said let them eat cake and ice cream. seriously, though, it leads to rationing. it leads to restrictive formularies. it's certainly is not what the patients whaant. you look at the medicaid program, the medicaid formulary in those states where prescription drugs are provided by the medicaid plan. there is a restrictive formulary, and that is not what we want. clearly if this program, though -- and i would be willing to accept, after a three-year trial period in which it was not working, i would want to go back and look at other possibilities, even including having the government come in and negotiate prices. but if the free marketplace is work

., etc., surprised you never mentioned the other profiteers in the drug and is a drug pushing industry, let's call it what it is, is the other drugs as much as you seafood advertise on television is a big forma product and i am thinking specifically about the one that killed tens of thousands primarily women in the country. no one went to jail but if it was an inner city or some person hillbilly shooting thousands of people as this american home product did no one was held accountable and people are still dying as a consequence primarily due to pulmonary hypertension. you were at the fda at the time of this fall out and i would like to hear what you have to say. >> very eloquently said. a lot of different points. on the first point, on the loneliness, and why -- one of the things that triggers, understand with food food is a very powerful stimulant. it is a reward and how we use the word reward, the great telemental psychologist defines reword as something that will change how you feel. so because food is why your into the real board pathways, the learning and motivational circuits it

., etc.. they would fall in the democratic liberal side by a wide margin sometimes even huge margins, sometimes narrow depending on back-and-forth. i don't think that changed. i think if you get data on the election this year we will probably see it lopsided democratic. that isn't to say because someone is space in their voting habits they can't do good job journalistically. i am saying where people are coming from is going to be on that side. now among that group of journalists, again, the media field is much more complicated now. we have a blogosphere old and all these things we've been talking about is what's less possible. we don't have an establishment media anywhere near we had in 1968 if you study the tet offensive and impact that was had upon that in the vietnam war, we can go through that. but i would say there is that and one other thing important to understand. the media tends to be biased in favor of intelligence. and verbal skills. so if you get someone like obama who let us not d

music, etc., video content is very popular. universal was, i think, one of the first companies that actually stood up and said, you know what? we'd like to get paid for that content, we'd like to get our artists and songwriters paid, and that's starting to happen. it's one of the new revenue streams for our songwriters and artists. but, you know, hulu's been very successful, and i think all indications are that music video online is a potentially, you know, could be very, very popular. and so it's going to be really interesting to see as we gear up to launch. i believe youtube is our partner in building that business, it's called vivo, and we've hired someone from universal who's going to be heading that business. and it's a division of our chairman, doug morris, and i think it's going to be potentially really an exciting development. >> host: besides apple and itunes is music, digital music economically successful? can it be? and how do you, how do you prevent the leakage? >> guest: i think itunes has proved that digital music

., etc. unfortunately, pointing fingers has never solved a problem. i was also saddened because the rules committee had it within their grasp, within their power, to pull us back from this precipice that we find ourselves on. but they chose not to. they took a pass. as i said at the rules committee hearing last night, history is replete with people who found an excuse to do the wrong thing. it takes a little courage to do the right thing. it's time for us to stand up and show the courage to do the right thing, not as democrats, not as republicans, but as members of congress. it's time to restore this house to the time-honored traditions of open debate, which we inherited from those who came before us when members had the right and ability to retcht their constituents. i find it ironic that around the world, people hope for, pray for, even die for the simple right to have their voices heard. they look to us, not because they want to be americans, but because they want for themselves what we ha

., etc. and finally thought let's take a step back and try and look how we are covering the financial and corporate world in general and how that matches up to how the financial and corporate world looks. so, i tried to draw a map of the city of london and compare to what the stories we were covering and was struck almost immediately by the fact there was a discrepancy that pretty much of the media was focusing on the equity markets and writing about the share price movements and exchange but there was a great big sway of debt and derivatives which was pretty important for the city of london and wall street but by and large wasn't being covered so i thought about making noise about that and one thing led to another and i moved across to the capitol markets team in early 2005. and at this stage, that wasn't viewed as a particular glory promotional move. and the running capital markets pages on covering the debt markets for many years in a very sort of manner but, you know, the glory positions

the regional airlines typically are flying less than to our type flights etc.. you mentioned it, more takeoffs and landings. as i have interviewed and talk to pilots this is a critical time of flight taking off and landing. where then should we have the best skill? and i am not try to take anything away from the majors, but should we not have the best pilots, the most skilled pilots flying in these short trips? particularly if you are flying in these altitudes more susceptible to icing which two that is another issue that pilots don't like to fly in a but they have two. >> thank you very much. >> senator mccaskill. >> thank you mr. chairman. i like to talk a little about maintenance. and i have worked on this issue since i came to the senate on foreign repair stations and i am sure you all are aware that the ig has determined the that regional carriers are depending on outsourcing maintenance to a large extent and my question to you, mr. cohen, is how much of a allosaurs maintenance. i believe that the ig said 50 percent of the maintenance is being outsourced. w

., etc.. so it is a very difficult battle. if you think of the corporations of america being very strong and government being very strong and i think almost an equal for third leg of that triangle is the media, again, very powerful and the individual stock in the middle of the triangle, how do we get out? we could have endless elections on and on and on and which republicans take the side of big business and democrats take the side of big government and nothing changes so we have to break out of this triangle and the good news is we have the methodology to do it and that i believe is the internet. the internet so far hasn't been taken over bye corporations although they tried three different times and it allows individuals to communicate with each other and organize. the question you have to ask yourself is why have an individual organized today? they have had lots of opportunities. i used to think they were stupid. i used to think they didn't understand the issues and that the media for them.

public and our country from difficulties with bioshield chemical, biological, radiological problems etc.. could you tell me what your thinking is presently regarding that funding, and if you agree that there are conflicts that could lead to finding difficulty? >> congressmen, i don't think there's any question that the investment made over the past five years by this congress and the previous administration in preparation and planning and beginning to work on the new vaccines that potentially are needed for a variety of deadly diseases have been critically important, and i know this committee and chairman obey and others have been any real leadership role on pushing that ahead. i think that, as a governor, i was able to see some of the results of that because we were able to do planning and put a pandemic plan together, to cross-state preparation, bring private industry in, do a whole series of initiatives to really get ready for an outbreak, which would not have been possible with state only funds, so i have seen it both that the federal level but also experienced what does investments

their concerns over inventories were being left with machinery etc. that they are responsible for, tools, machinery, etc.. >> guest: it is clear in both restructurings that the manufacturer had to make tough decisions. call stakeholders i think are participating in that plan. it is what they negotiated with the administration and i think that is what they went into bankruptcy protection for to be able to come out of there. as far as their individual relationships, i think that is something the companies have to manage. it is clear though that in many respects toyota has become somewhat the model and the standard for a number of things and i think their dealer network is one that both gm and ford and also chrysler and other companies are looking at as to the kind of service that they want to provide. host: you have an organization that has with that all the major automobile manufacturers, domestic and foreign. when you look down the road to the future, what automobile sales look like, not only models but with the sea as a head for the american car buyi

etc., in what way is the united states showing up its position as being either seen as honest broker or otherwise seen as somehow facilitating peace, as a corollary two that sense right now american legislators and policy makers are tearing themselves up over in his interrogation techniques were used in the past and here we are supporting your shame that actually uses real torture, not in his interrogation, real actual torture in what way again does this actually produce a result that is further u.s. interest in the region? >> these are all -- this is all great stuff and we'll probably talk about it for another 20 minutes, but to try to stop, i think that this support of the west bank government is a continuation of a policy that has served the u.s. poorly in the past when you look back and our support for egypt for instance and the fact that there is a corrupt government there that is autocratic and doesn't have a lot of respect on the street, this is essentially what we're doing in the west bank. what we're doing that here is trying to i think iran something rather than prop up som

get them writing down of his popularity over time admittedly partly due to the war and the economy etc. about was an also partly to to the effort especially on the part of congressional democrats over the last meeting of 2006 and the 2008 elections. don, would you be willing to start without? in allah be happy to come i think president obama is very much aware that the camera never blinks and that is why he used teleprompter is at is conferences. i work with john anderson for many years and we fought like mad to get the house floor televised and tip o'neill was mad because he didn't want congress seen in a bad light and finally we did get tv but to a bonnet to control the tv and didn't want to get people sleeping in picking their noses around them. i think congress back then was battling against nixon who is able to command the airwaves when ever he asked to talk about his latest policy in vietnam and i think that is one of the reasons the democrats cameron and decided to tell -- televised congress but still is not able to speak with one voice and as you mention, of course, it also all

a fellow who was the head united health got $1.6 billion in stock options, etc. etc. so the goal of health care should be to provide the best quality health care to all of our people in the most cost-effective way. into my mind my mind the way you do that, and what we have learned from other countries around the world, is that a single-payer system would work. >> let me read you. he is a physician from canada. he attended this editorial in "the wall street journal" called candidate obama. he concludes with this question. quote, why are they rushing into a system of government dominated health care when the very countries that have experienced it for so long are backing away? >> first of all i don't know if that's accurate. the truth of the matter is we are the only country, the only country in the industrialized world, not to have a national health care program. so we are the odd man out. if you compare the american system to canada, it is true canada has problems. so the week, but we spend almost twice as much or person as the canadians do it and if we spent that kin

[laughter] but, the difficulty with oil exporters, gold exporters, diamond exporters, etc., is that the money goes into central government. that becomes a big hassle. the voice of the people is important, but i want the money under my control. the situation is really -- imports, i might come back to that. 40% of the gasoline is imported. what has happened is there is a debate on who gets the money. if you look at the first debate, ahmadinejad debated with mir hossein mousavi. he said that he had these files, and i am not debating one person, i am debating everything. it means that i have got something on you. this is something that could take you to jail. that threw off the entire debate. suddenly we saw the unity breaking apart, as robin so eloquently described. how is the money going to be separated? but this -- what is the role of the economy? housing? much much faster than the inflation rate. imports of food have gone through the roof. inflation has gone through the roof. the central government is giving money. salaries are not keeping up with inflation. in the presentation, everybo

well as the potential for countries to access the credit, including iran, venezuela, simbabway, burma, etc. we are very, very concerned. there is a real possibility that some of the world's worst regimes will have access to additional resources that will be providing to the i.m.f. is he not concerned about that? i yield. mr. hoyer: of course, we are all concerned about the fact that any money would go to those regimes. the fact of the matter is the i.m.f. could have given to very bad regimes during the reagan administration or the bush administration. the reason the reagan administration and first bush administration, and although don't have a quote from the second bush administration, the second bush administration as well was a supporter of the i.m.f. as the gentleman perhaps knows. the fact of the matter is the united states will play a very significant role in the decisionmaking of the i.m.f. because we are a very significant contributor. it is a red herring from my perspective to raise the fact that money could go somewhere. of course money could go somewhere, any money that we approp

job-training skills and computer skills and how to conduct themselves in an office and write an e-mail, etc. and i said specifically to the young men, you can't use anything as an excuse not to be involved with your children. you know, cause kids they won't judge you based on whether you are wealthy or poor. they will judge you if you are abusive to their mother. they will judge you in terms of you not showing up when they need you. that's what makes a difference. and kids will respect their fathers if their fathers are showing kindness and are modeling that they are working hard and trying to do what is right for their families. kids will understand that sometimes families fall on hard times. they get that, joe biden is here and joe i want to talk to you. you had a terrific relationship but he fell on hard times and you talk about him as the most important guiding role. >> mr. president, i think this is great what you are doing, this is a big deal. the president said that fathers make mistakes and i made my share. my father said there is a mistake that a father shouldn't make, to communica

all countries with government controlled health care system, france, germany etc., have lower system -- lower-cost systems and better health care. another e-mail coming in. why should the insurance companies make a profit when i pay for health care? shouldn't the doctors to be the one making a profit? we will never contain costs while we allowed the two major industries to make a profit -- profit. david i. democrats line. caller: i just retired. i get my first check wednesday. to get health insurance, i could -- -- have a hundred dollars a week for gas. i went to the emergency room, i paid over $9,000. i got a reduced, but on the $9,000, spent three hours in the hospital. we don't have that much money. host: are you without health insurance now? caller: yes i am. i am scared. i have a house and they can take everything i have. host: from where did you retire? caller: it was a dead end job. i had to pay most of my insurance. host: what did it cost you this plan you are talking about? caller: about seven -- $700 or $800. i went on the internet and everywhere i could to go for help.

disobedience she led the strike long before rosa parks and also with the immigration and it cetera, etc.. so so she had to fold task which she does with great meticulous and great courage. >> you have written across various john rose and styles, what about our your experiences in that regard? >> all of my books are about people characters but i feel that i was stalked by wall commitment for a long period of time. i was forced to read my captain o capt. and other bad poems. then when i was in college i stumbled into a class where we were reading a lot of speed 13 and again we read a lot of poems of the indiana nebraska school. [laughter] and i had a feeling that what is all of the excitement about this guy? not until some years later that i realized we were reading poems exclusively out of the deathbed addition. as many of you know, , walt whitman was eight poet who wrote the same book over and over again and could not get it right. he was editing his poetry as he went so the deathbed edition of the signed off on on his deathbed was the least exciting and most censored version. so i went

burgess discussed with you about those who are now being excluded because of preexisting conditions etc., i think we all know that are high risk pools that have not effectively operated answered by another assisted in states like mine for example. i think we need to be looking at a policy where we would maybe take those funds that are available for high-risk pools, some of which are not being utilized with them into an environment in which we could perhaps with the sharing of some of those costs with the insurance industry bring these individuals into the pool with the additional revenue that would be available for available sources. i just simply suggest that is something we all need to think about in thank you mr. chairman. i yield back. >> mr. burgess do you want to question now or do you want to come back? you only have five minutes so i will have to holdou tight. >> i can be very brief. >> i have not seen it yet but go ahead. >> we have heard the discussion of the public option plan. what is your opinion of that? >> i oppose the public plan option. >> mr. collins? >> sir, i believe

the help publishers and songwriters collect their and come through a blanket licenses, etc. that is our business model. our model was also -- we have been more resilient than any other business model and the music business because we do have all these various revenue streams. the songwriters and our business is going through a very challenging time. the mechanical and come related to the sale of those disks -- record sales are being tremendously impacted by the change in new technology and the access to free or legal. we're struggling to that as a whole industry faces those challenges. >> the television broadcasters have taken a tentative step towards free tv on computers through hulu. the uc something like that in the music feature? -- do you see something like that in music's future? >> i mentioned we were launching an on-line video site call vivo. i did not know if the plan is to launch with a fee or if it is at supported. i think they're actually talking to advertising partners. it is usually -- music video content is largely popular online. video content is very popular

items, treatments, etc. research must recognize the patience of population and preferences may vary. -- the patient population and preferences may vary. if we are sure that this is meant to ensure care, our purpose is to find out what we think is best most of the time for the average patient and we want to put that out. fine. if we are going to tell the doctors what they are going to do and patience what they are going to do, it is not fine. it is not based on the best care, it is based on the best for the average, based on cost as well as outcome. without this amendment, i would like to know what section of the bill prohibits the government from using cer to decide which treatment can reach -- which it treatment the patient can cannot have. -- which treatments ththe patient can and cannot have? i trust that your intent is good. where is the protection? i will go back and remind you that a medicare patient today cannot, even with their own money, have a virtual colonoscopy, per orders of the dictate of cms.

this because a lot of the dramatic stuff is real-time coming over to the tv reporting on a twitter etc. and also there is this case of the young woman that died. is the secretary aware of that? is she making any comments about the role of women in this which is significant? >> while i think that as i said before, dennis ross is playing an important role in briefing the secretary. it's been frankly very difficult as it is for all of you to get a good hard, for mobile information about what is going on because of the inability of the media, the representatives of the organizations to cover the situation. it's been dangerous on the streets of the foreign diplomats of course have had no difficulty as well. she is following the situation with great concern and as i said, these are very dramatic and distressing images that we see. the most distressing of all is the image of this young woman covered in blood. yes? >> [inaudible] -- about iran? >> yes, she has. >> on china -- >> one more on iran. >> i have several more. >> i'm going to run out of material. [laughter] >> this isn't a frivolous

interviews that we do, so no one will interrupt each other, corroboree information with hospital records, etc. but for me it is forensic evidence appears i was looking for evidence of a show. if you know anything about tanks and ammunitions, a lot of kinetic energy going. it is made to go into an armored vehicle. kinetic energy has to go someplace. there is nothing here in this house. let's go next door. in the next building we found pieces, started to pull it apart, pulled it out of the walls and put together the 120 million -- mm tank shell. that is what i do. i go in and i look for that forensic evidence. i watched the fighting, there were questions and concerns about whether they were keeping --. find the american manufacturer white phosphorous shell, to show that they had been used, that we had eight un facility hit and burned. we also look at evidence of hamas, were they shielding? were they operating in areas that were endangering civilians? i would like to point all of -- that in two weeks god willing, we will have a report that is being published specifically on the shielding issue o

and chrysler have responded over the deals, with the machinery and etc., they are responsible for. guest: let's clear in both restructurings, the manufacturer had to make tough decisions. and all stakeholders are participating in that plan. it's what they negotiated in the administration and what they went into bankruptcy protection for. to come out of there. as far as their individual relationships that's something that the companies have to manage. it's clear in many respects toyota has become the model and standard for a number of things. and their dealer network is one that both g.m. and ford and also chrysler and other companies are looking at the kind of service they want to provide. host: you have an organization with all auto manufacturers, domestic and foreign. when you look down the road of the future, what automobile sales and not only models but what is happy -- what is ahead for the american buying public? >> a great industry, what we see today is historic low. with the credit crunch and the recession in this session. it hit the auto manufacturers hard. and in home pri

down the whole system of government, i have to live with this for the rest of my life, this burden, etc.. the three points there, he answered them all over the next 20 minutes. host: did you ever talk to him after the interviews were concluded? guest: apart from our paths cross and at a restaurant, after the interviews were done, we added to them the -- we edited them. i went to take my leave of him, and as we were leaving california, that was an extraordinary experience. you never hear of the thought that richard nixon was carefree. that was never the word. but that day, for 20 minutes, all those screens that he had around him to block out the rest of the world and intimacy with people were up for 20 minutes, and that was an extraordinary experience. he called me david, and he had not said david in a whole month. he said to my girlfriend, come on, i will show you around the house. "that was where brezhnev's slept." for 20 minutes, when did see a difference. just at the end, but still very affable, the walls closed in around him again. for 20 minutes of carefreeness, it was extraordinar

from doctors and primarily from hospital administrators and home health- care people, a clinical labs, etc., mainly on the reimbursement and regulations. he thanked me for it. he said he would get back immediately. he did. he said that a five page, single spaced, response. i thought it was cms junk. i called him back and said i cannot understand this. nobody on my staff could understand it. that was really his problem. he came back. he looked at and said, and would you are right on " he sai." this is what happens when we turn things over to people and they are not even aware of what happens. he sent back about a two page letter that made sense. he promised he would watch very carefully for these regulatory overkills and the things that were driving our people not out there. i voted yes and hoped for the best. i saw him later on an airplane. and did not recognize him because he had a ball cap on. i thought as one deficit on an airplane and talk about cms for the whole flight. he proudly thought the same thing. everything that he promised, and nothing happened except the things we did not wa

fact that a twenty-first century situation, that an american has, hanging upside down on clotheslines, etc. yet it seems to me that the democratic party insists on giving them the same rights as if they were regular prisoners of war. the use think we should give them those same right? what is your take on that? >> this could get to be a complex legal question but the basic issue is how we treat detainees that we found on the battlefields or wherever we happen to find them. i do think in this conflict, have argued this all along, the united states has to take the moral high ground. we clearly can't treat detainees as they would treat us if an american service members were captured. that is not appropriate. i talked to audiences, they say we ought to use the same methods, that just brings us down to their level. the thing that's so repulses us against violent extremism, violence against men, women and children, any of our actions, we have to be very careful and we have to, even if it hurts us, we have to assumed the moral high ground on these issues. how you treat them legally gets to be com

we have with virtually no exceptions local programs, asap programs, more robust training, etc. and as part of the recommendations that we have made before you today, and announced last week, at the faa we would suggest that many of those programs be instituted at the regional level for our partners. >> let me ask you. fact is it is your name that is the name of your companies that you represent on the fuselage of the fairpoint. >> that is correct. >> in many cases you own the regional carrier for a substantial portions of equity in the regional carrier. so it would seem to me that it would be in the interest of the network carriers to require the things that you have recommended today prior to these recommendations. >> i understand that thought, senator. there was actually a proposal made by ntsb back in about 1994 when this whole debate came to pass and when 121 was created putting the regionals under 121 to have the mainline carriers be the enforcement of 121 for the regional partners. that was specifically rejected by congress and the faa because they wanted to have a single

they are stipulation, summary, not classified or secret, etc. the criteria as to whether it is a state secret is whether or not significant harm is reasonably likely to occur, and i think that is one which is in line with some of what i would consider the best judging in the past. the government has the burden of proving the nature of the harm, the likelihood of occurrence, and this is very important, and i will say is one of the two issues that can be discussed today. the court should with the testimony from experts in the same manner it does along with any other expert testimony. that is important that the judge makes an independent judgment. he looks at the testimony of the government, evaluates its, the way that we have learned to a fight expert tested many, the qualifications of the expert, the experience of the expert, the cohesiveness of testimony, and those are exactly the grounds on which one does give weight to expert testimony, and that is what should be applied here. the last point i would raise, i raised before, but i want to unders

my compatriots at the cia, etc, and we dropped the bombs. i worked on many hundreds of air strikes. on the target sets where we were trying to kill saddam hussein, it was a limited target set. we have 50 missions -- we had 50 missions where we dropped emissions. in those 50 airstrikes, we had a grand total of zero successes. not only did we not get saddam hussein, we did not get any of the people on the deck of cards. as we went through the war, it was failure after failure. i would estimate about 250 civilians were killed in the air strikes that we did. i truly felt that we did the best job that could. and then left the pentagon on the 11th of april, 2003. this was days after the statute of sitcoaddam fell in baghdad. one week later, i was standing in an air strike area. i stood facing this man. he was in his 60s, may be older. his fingernails were really worn down. he had brown hands. he told me how two families were wiped out. his children and grandchildren were killed. his son was a doctor, his wife was a doctor. that was a difficult moment. but it was also a moment where i knew
