the hearing, it's only in a sense that it leads to other relationships, dim lo mattic and political, etc. i want to thank you for the way in which you have done your job. it's been very important. i know you have been asked about the missile defense. in your role, you are going to be responsible for operating the early stages of the phase that adapted missile defense system. i thought i would ask you first for an analysis, if you will or report on what the state of european public opinion is about missile defense. in other words, do the europeans feel vulnerable now? there have been times in the not so distant history where they haven't. do they feel vulnerable and who are they worried about firing missiles at them? >> sir, i think there is a growing appreciation in europe for the danger from iran. i think they look at the nature of that regime and clearly a sponsor of terrorism, working hard to develop a nuclear device and additionally i think there is a great deal of understanding that the ballistic missile technology that iranians possess is moving in pace. that is having an effect on

. >> it is a vicious cycle and you will turn to drugs we could you have no hope, etc., etc.. we have eric holder who came to kick off the conference, a justice prior who talked about mandatory sentencing so contributing to raising at the level of awareness and the debate to where we can make a difference. >> i will add to what bill has said about your question can mr. obama talk about race? it is almost like none of us of color can talk about race or racism. as john mitchum's said on the two the press comment white people get queasy when black people talk about racism. >> host: why? 11 a society with all of the changes and progress but speaking to race if we really know our history with the white unearned advantage with black supremacy and white interior day that we realize that these are lies and when you check but history to say the enslavement of black people was the economic engine that builds in this country, how proud we do be if you were to realize all of the advantages you have with the disadvantage of other people? they made us the legal and subhuman in order to just

-- jobs, etc.you look at those tests over the last couple of years, the number of people testing positive for a variety of drugs has decreased. if it is not part of the statutory requirement, a number of private businesses and organizations have people take drug tests before they get hired. host: anything that we should know about seniors in this area? guest: i think that the senior citizens need to talk to their pharmacist. they need to make sure that they do not see one prescription drug offsetting the costs. also, a number of extended care facilities have a number of powerful painkillers. when people no longer need them, there needs to be a safe way for the drugs to be disposed of. that does not mean flushing them down the toilet. that causes environmental damage. we are working with drug enforcement and the environmental protection agency to develop a new system. in washington they're working very hard on developing legislation to make it easier to dispose of those drugs when they are no longer

., etc.. do have a entrepreneurial journalism and i think that is healthy because it makes journalists think differently about their role of journalism and society really like to have more of the other people so in the blogosphere and the internet we do not replicate the same mistakes the bf may forever like a lack of diversity or lack of different voices at the table. >> one of the things i was read about happening is it is somebody that toes line reflects the interests of the powers that the more than journalists of color or myself, a progressive, and people who are not part of the elite power structure than we operate at a competitive disadvantage because they are subsidized and we are not. it tends to prop up something that is low working and keeping something else from getting financed. with the online ad revenue side, local ad revenues are higher and they found the mattress center or whatever it is gets more bang for their buck and a national advertiser running a national campaign. slowl

we'll have a continuing debate about health care, etc., role of government, etc., but not one that i think obviously endangers... brings forth any sense of violence or threat. and so every elected official, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum or where they were on the issue of health care has a responsibility to help calm the waters. >> lehrer: do you personally blame the republicans for this? >> i don't blame... first of all, i don't blame the republicans. >> lehrer: okay. >> i think... >> lehrer: i mean fanning the flames of threats and all that stuff. >> that's not... what i think everybody and what i think the president wants to see is basically we all have a responsibility to help our constituents and our fellow citizens understand it's good that there's passion around a debate but not one that obviously crosses a line into threats and violence. and i think elected leaders have a role in calming it down. the only person... the only time i would ever say... i don't want to say blame or point fingers, but i would say a responsibility not to incite it or encourag

it is a combination of commercial bank, investment bank, etc.i understand your response was that we are dealing with the problem of systemic risk in too big to fail by making citi a stronger company. some may agree and some may disagree. instead of that, why do you not concentrate on breaking citi two more pieces, so that no one piece is too big to fail? why not break it up? the markets are clm. -- calm. you'll not have as big a company to run. you're so -- your shareholders will get as much value. >> we have the same objective. shareholder value is really important. we are doing that. we are selling 40% of the company, breaking it up. we're not an insurance bank anymore. we're primarily in the commercial, corporate, individual banking businesses, and the business of providing account management services that our clients need. we're only as big as what as required to serve our clients in a competitive market. i completely agree with you that no institution should be in a place where we get to a too big to fail situation. there are two ways to go

in addition there are issues about getting rid of heat, etc., so it's very cold.use liquid helium a couple degrees above absolute zero. people consider... well, think probably the ring is the coldest extended object in the universe. it's colder than outer space. the the middle of outer space, colder than that. >> rose: and when they collide, what happens? >> that's where my job comes in. i don't work so much on the accelerator itself but on these very large particle detectors that we have. there are two general purpose particle detectors like the one i work on that are interested in the physics that lisa and i are interested in. then there are two others that do more specialized visits. but when they hit basically it's sort of the e equals m.c. squared from einstein. when they hit you can transform the particles that came in, these two protons, into something else. >> actually, usually what happens when two protons collide is nothing. they're just passing through each other. so actually only a small fraction of these protons really collide to give you something in

what sorts of paper is, materials, etc., procedural, not any detail? >> with the reserve bank's we have dedicated research staffs that supports me in the thinking about how the economy -- in how things are playing out. we also have our bank supervision staff which reminds me of what banking conditions are and at a grassroots level how things are recording well with local conditions in our beige book type of operations. we begin this before -- two weeks before the fomc meeting. when the beige book is published we have already been given a lot of information. the research staff starts to put together a forecaster talk about special issues and nontraditional policies we are contemplating, what effect might they have. when i said we announced there would be 1.5 trillion dollars and that announcement changes interest rates by 50 basis points, there's a ton of research that goes into that assessment and understanding the uncertainty that is attached to that. we need before we go to washington. from the reserve bank standpoint, we bring information to washing

the title, etc.. >> i know. it sounds trite but since we make some unease that influences it does influence. also we are been harassed by the reviews that [inaudible] [laughter] >> we haven't even gotten there. >> pingree person lighting and review for $35. if you get three good trade reviews we will probably look and if you get three bad ones we probably won't look at it. it dies before it gets out of the crib. >> trade meaning like book list, library journal. semidey tremendously influenced and if you think who is writing that it is a really weak link in the critical process. >> but sometimes you don't get a cover, you get a galley that is like a light blue cover from the and the house, so it's not just the cover. sprick mother is net to gallegly that delivers to the readers and things like that so we may not get all of the design elements -- a don't want to see we rely on but we are influenced by. >> next question over here since i haven't come to this side very often. the gentleman in the yellow shirt and i

you know about social security, medicare, etc. my wife and i are in the doughnut hole from june. do you know what year that starts to take effect? guest: off the top of my head, i do not. i am just an academic. caller: 2016. good luck, fella. this is the biggest cost to hit this country. host: how was the public reaction to these major pieces of legislation, as far as the feedback, ranchor? were there protests, were there things like we saw with town hall meetings? guest: not quite. in 1935, people really did not understand what was in the social security act. that is similar to today. this is a very complicated piece of legislation to grasp. there were guys from left saying that every elderly person should have $100 provided to them at the end of the month. compared to that, social security was very miserly, so there was protest from the left. there were attempts to create mass rallies. president kennedy actually went to madison square garden to speak in favor of medicare. there was concern about the supreme court and the left- leaning nature. the conservative movement was just

we're try -- etc. we're trying to manifest president obama's commitment to building partnerships with the citizens of the region on behalf of more prosperous, participatory and pluralistic societies, and what this means is, yes, working on democracy, human rights and economic development. and finally, addressing the grave security and development challenges in yemen, and this is not what happened after december 5th, it's something that very early on we were asked to start doing policy reviews on yemen, so i would list -- those are not the only things we're working on, but i would list those as priorities in the region. and, of course, the approach to trying to achieve these priorities is, i would say it is partnership, it's working with allies, it's building new allies, it's trying to reach out. you've heard, of course, we've talked a lot about president obama's speech in cairo, but not only in cairo. president obama has been determined to change the tone of the u.s. relationship with muslims around th

local broadcast, cable, radio, wireless, etc.we need to make recommendations in general for congress but also specifically to make sure that the ftc is approaching these issues in a wise way. some are the roles of the fcc books were conceived before there was an internet. some of them were conserve before there was tv. to assume that the people the constructed these got it right back and is probably wishful thinking. i agree with susan's general assessment that this is a pretty serious potential problem going on in the news business. the drop of 44% in revenue for newspapers since 2000 and news magazine staffs have been cut in half since their peak, local news has cut back, across the board you have a very serious contraction. what does that mean in terms of government intervention? the term "bailout" got put into the discussion about news because of a call into the timing. the contraction of charnels happened at the set -- a journalist happened at the same time were bailing out the oil industry and the banking industry. i don't

called an uncertain about a lot of issues we've been talking about, regulatory, reform, health reform, etc. so the stronger businesses aren't borrowing which is putting him in tampering on the bank lending. the weaker companies are the banks being cautious, they are tightening lending standards and so therefore the weaker companies are creating more cautious -- caution on the bankside and so we clearly the important banking system and and a stronger economy will help that situation and our policy is at the federal reserve, they did monetary policies are geared toward a strengthening economy. in all so go for a strong banking system regulatory reform has to be done in the right fashion. we have learned to the financial crisis there are weaknesses in our regulatory structure. we need to make sure though as we proceed with regulatory reform that its done appropriately, that we are matching it risks and the appropriate regulations. we can comments during the q and a on some of the thoughts the cleveland the fed has on that reform and when when you ask what are the messages i want to leave abou

50 years here and now you would still have these people that are being treated in in human fashion etc. what would be your position? >> i have a position in the book. [laughter] it would be to achieve just to force you to read the book instead of answering a straight question so i will answer the question in the answer is falling -- you can impose on and sometimes you cannot implement something right away. the point is what is the extent to which you can postpone a political solution? my claim is is what i call the desert generation test. it is not i am against -- this generation will pay. in your life you on see justice at all, but the next generation will live better. that is what i think is in line want, there will be a great deal of light in the future, now it is dark, but that is only a generation that pays the price if the solution doesn't meet a generation prospect, at the end of the generation to have different life than it is untenable. now, in the case of the american constitution basically the idea was that in 1808 and just about the end of the my test, there will be a chang

there are a number of aspects to the tax cuts that refer to small business, etc.we have done an awful lot. and there is -- with regard to today's announcement, i'm reminded of a comment by will rogers, a great comedian in the '20s and '30s. he said the difference between death and taxes is that death does not get worse every time congress meets. well today, quite frankly, congress having met last year, really is actually helping and helping in a big way. the difference is that because of the recovery act providing $300 billion in tax cuts, millions to middle-class americans, hundreds of thousands of dollars in relief. again, i know you all know this. but sometimes people click on the news and hear part of this. they will hear, tax credit, tax deduction, and it does not compute right away. a tax credit means this guy is going to sit there and they're going to bounce out a check and give you money. money is going to come back. and you are not claiming something on your tax form that means you pay less tax. they need to get something back. -- it means you get somethi

the east asian countries, japan, south korea, taiwan, etc. have about one of 100 the murder rate of the united states, they have won 200 the rate of rape. they don't have a lot of robbery or mugging. you can leave your bike on the street and it doesn't get stolen. they don't even have graffiti. these are safe places to live. they have about 1% of the babies born to single mothers, the number is about 42% in america. very few divorce. in terms of the sort of basic social statistics they are successful so i wrote about the asian social miracle and how do you do this, how to get a country with one one-hundredth the murder rate of the united states and guess what they don't do it through police. all these countries have 120 if as many police and one 50th as many jail cells so they don't do it that way. so that is why i wrote a book about the asian social miracle and guess what the title gives it all away. it's called confucius' lives next door and my argument is because they inculcate the basic social values so well socially the country's work pr

through all of the misfortunes, etc., i did not plan anything.ere for me and i accepted it and life, whatever came out, has been beautiful to me and i love everybody. can't top that. what you're about to see is a tv performance one of his favorite songs titled appropriately enough "on the sunny side of the street" originally broadcast in 1958. it is my favorite film clip of louis armstrong. the one that says the most about who he was and what he did. take it away, sach. ♪ i'm satisfied ♪ ♪ but i'm not afraid baby ♪ if i never ♪ . [applause] >> well, now the floor is yours. i would be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have about louis armstrong or about my book, if you'll make your way to the microphone. i'll do my best. >> i have a few questions and thanks so much for doing the box. one is, in terms of his early life, there's a book called "louis armstrong's new orleans" it's sort of set in context. what did you bring new informationally about his early life that we don't have from other books, not -- that's one and second, h

for most of the big newspapers at one time or another including the "washington post" "usa today", etc. a prepared to have a couple of regular gig smell which it is easier than it pinching yourself all the time i have a monthly column for the "chicago sun-times" which i have been doing for about six years and my a regular contributes to the day the based which is now in the state of flux. and you better love it if you want to get into it because there is not a lot of money in it. the least i have never been paid you can write as many as you want for free but the least i have been paid is 50 and the most was $500 and that was five negative "new york times." nobody pays that much. a typical repeal is around 150 or $200 so depending on how long it takes to read a book you can figure out how much money you can make if you can get the work which is the depressing part. in the seven years i have been writing for newspapers which really isn't about long, the contraction of the industry has been a significant. numerous newspapers have cut sections complete the procure everybody else is downsiz

have been organizational innovations like physician practice management chains of dialysis centers etc. often defeated by the lack of price competition due to the inherent price fixing in the payment system particularly emanating from medicare. my question is the president's proposal proposes cash subsidies for younger people while retaining this incredibly complex payment system that you've just outlined for older people. why not just convert the whole system to cash subsidies and let the price mechanism worked as it did in the retail sector? thank you. >> i am pleased to hear on the analogy. i think what the president's proposed is actually what will be over the next decade complete transformation of the program. but because the program is very popular, he wants to go in steps rather than do it all at once which seems perfectly acceptable to me. but i keep a list in my mind of kind of the most important elements of reform that nobody has ever heard of. let me just give you one example as to show you where the legislation is. the legislation proposes to billion dollars, bs in billion,

to look at what the basic values were that underlie the first amendment, free expression, religion, etc. those don't change. no one's talking about changing those, nor is anyone talking about inventing some totally new right. what we are talking about is talking about applying the constant value to changing circumstances. and if you don't, i guess you're going to say that flogging is still ok. and if you don't, i guess you're going to say that the original thought of plethy v. ferguson is still right. of course you have to change that. because circumstances change and as far as what the framers wanted -- to use a trivial example, to illustrate the point, imagine congress after the statute. and it says all endangered species will be protected. and what at that time, if you ask members of congress, everyone would have thought that the czechoslovakia mink is not endangered. i don't know what the czech -- years later discovered it is endangered. of course the statute applies. they enacted some words that expressed a general purpose and even if they thought the application was not what it tu

speeding, a lot of it is minutely described, how hard the blows can be, how many could have been a road etcthe documents are quite remarkable. after the beating i was placed in a small box. that is the box that is three and a half feet high, very tiny. they placed a cloth or cover over the box to cut out all light and restrict my air supply. as it was not high enough to set up right i bright i had to crouch down. it was difficult because of my wounds. distress on my legs help in this position and my wounds both in the leg and stomach he came painful. i think this occurred three months after my last operation. it was always golden the brand but when the cover was placed over the box it made it hot and sweaty inside. the blood on my leg again to open and to bleed. i don't know how long i remained in the small box. i think i may have slept or fainted. i was then dragged from the small box unable to walk properly and of course he is they could all this time, sometimes with the hood and sometimes not. unable to walk properly and put on what looked like a hospital bed and strapped down tightly wi

humboldt spoke, gallatin continued, surrounded with maps, statements, etc., all new to me and several which he has permitted us to transcribe. although humboldt had been traveling -- and this is interesting -- in an embargoed kingdom under the exclusive permission of king carlos iv, humboldt freely shared his findings with new spain's ambitious northern neighbor including a copy of a lengthy statistical summary on mexico which was a trove of information and the most expensive, accurate and detailed map yet made of the region. this is that map in its redrawn and finished version in the political essay of the kingdom of new spain. humboldt leapt the map for g -- lent the map for copying, and nobody knew at the time he was just then plotting with aaron burr to overthrow the country, invade mexico and establish an independent kingdom. seems to have made an illicit copy for his own use, much to humboldt's annoyance, plagiarized versions of the map appeared in the united states well before he published it in 1811. well, the dinner guests may have avoided politics, but humboldt had, in fact,

recent trip both in the afghanistan and pakistan from the most educated people who had gone to mit etc to the beggar on the street with polio, they all said 9/11 was a crock, an inside job by the united states to give the u.s. and the western countries in excuse to invade central asia. it renders one speechless when you hear that, but the same time i heard it so often that to the hard questions that i sometimes think we as a country avoided is why would an otherwise reasonable person say that? what have we done to contribute to that kind of thinking or to create the kind of reaction that one would come up with this friction? 9/11 is such an emotional point for all of us is really hard to deal with that question without getting either angry at the person asking its or angry at -- just a rich the people who say it's nonsense without figuring out how can somebody who went to school and mit really believe this stuff. >> he mentioned this rage against americans but to have also told me that when you were most recently in pakistan and meeting with some of the young recruits, the l.a. t, that

criminal-justice system and eric colder and justice breyer who came and talked about mandatory sentencing etc. we continue raising the level of awareness and to raise the beat level to the point where perhaps we can make a difference. >> guest: i want to add to what bill has said about your question can mr. obama, president of, talk about race and racism. and it's almost like none of us of color can talk about race or racism. one, as john mechem of newsweek magazine said on meet the press white people get queasy when that people talk of that race or racism. we live by society in spite of the changes and all of progress we have made it that we still speak to the issue of race under the table in some corner not to talk about it. >> guest: i think is a shame. when you really know our history and how unfair it's been the white other earned advantage, the twin evils of white supremacy and black inferiority when you realize these are all the evils but lies. when you check the history to see the inslee that of black people, that built this country how right you are to realize the of vintages to have

and different religions in fact balancing tickets etc. succumb george bush on domestic policy.he read my lips pledge and he goes against that. that is in your book. >> guest: it's in my book because it ended my tenure as chairman of the republican national committee. i was designated by george bush and after i left the drugs are -- drug czar. i was in for two weeks and there was a meeting and they said you need defendant on this and i can't defend a tax. he just wasn't focused on it but it was such a big surprise. i told them the story in the book about the panel. i can't remember who was on it, liberals and conservatives. what george bush be reelected and all of us yes yes of course. the approval rating was 80% and then the surprise campaign by the surprise governor from arkansas and bush just got a flat on the domestic issues and people changing their minds and there was a big surprise. >> host: the panicky counter argument and that is that compromise he does. one of the great last bipartisan compromises, something we lost the art for in this town and which he does help bring

mainstream media but the blogosphere that takes on his statements about race in the south and federal c and etc and strom thurmond. yet it also even starts before that with the drudge report braking the clinton scandal when "newsweek" didn't. after the oklahoma city bombing if i remember correctly in this book, bill clinton says part of the problem is that we are stoking up paranoia of these days, that there are people i think he mainly meant right-wing talk-show hosts that stoke people up so much that in seven violence. and you say that he's overreaching. that is overstating things and get to some extent it has as henry kissinger would call it the o.d. hismelt truth. >> guest: there is stoking and there are people who are paranoid and i don't go for that and i score it. i usually called. there is a pretty famous talk-show host was also a tv host who has spoken of cpac recently. and i said i just thought it was a bad set of remarks. i try to be an honest broker here but i want to distinguish between people who may increase the temperature and people who commit acts of violence and they are not

sell it and don't put on my books someone else will and i'm going to lose maybe a few cents per share etc. and that's the real problem on wall street were you don't have the people that think a little differently end part of the issue is the hedge fund world because it pays so well. it draws out towns but visitors fifth, the moynihan and the bernanke, those kind of people employed by the role and this is harder. these people are very entrepreneurial and it's one reason why a enjoy writing about them. they think outside the box and there are no smarter and i think with the the people within the terms, is self selecting group, the people that take the risk in join a hedge fund or tried to run a hedge fund. they don't like running for the people and they speak about what bad can happen and often are a little more skeptical. i have found. unfortunately they get drawn out of these firms and what's left are really smart people that are worried about the quarter to often. goldman sachs does well and part is the reason of having a relationship that -- the more entrepreneurial people who want to s

where there was a different racial composition etc., did you notice a big difference? >> i don't know if it was so much their race, but i feel like the real big piece about why lettuce had so much better camaraderie was just the fact that we had a crew that work together constantly, and for two months, you get to know each other and you are outside, which played a really big psychological difference. you could talk while you were working and we would have a spanish radio blasting. people would joke around a lot. all those sorts of little things that make a job a little bit less depressing were impossible to do in the chicken plant because it was cold,-- lettuce s repetitive but it is also skilled work so you are focusing a lot on the work. in the chicken plant teachers couldn't communicate very much with people based on the fact that you have earplugs and you can here and it is called. you are standing in one place doing this, separating chicken breast, so for two and a half hours, never looked to the left or right. it becomes a different sort of job. i think if you ha

major banking crisis in advanced industrial countries, so he's taking out all latin american issues etc.. but even under his numbers, you see we have 22 in that span so with the nearest definition we have financial crisis roughly once every 2.3 years so it is clear to me that over the next ten to 12 years we are all going to experience at least two major financial crises. we don't know where it's going to be unless we do something in terms of regulatory reform and financial reform this is pretty much coming down the road. now, just since sarah has given me a total of eight minutes, going to give four main themes. the first is what is this concept too big to fail. we have a certain number of institutions that we say are too big to fail and i think that we would have a consensus that institutions like fannie mae and freddie mac were in that category. but here the question is how many financial institutions do you think that the treasury has put capital into? on defining the bailout that the treasury is putting government capital into how many in the last 14 months to you think that we hav

county taxpayers, federal taxpayers etc. and that that is very unfortunate. i plan to try to find out about how much this cost taxpayers. i will be working on a letter to see po to find out what their assumption is with regard to how much it cost taxpayers to have the undocumented immigrants who would otherwise be participating in the exchange and i would like to see if any of you would like to join me in that effort to find out that number in the weeks ahead? anybody interested? we can work with your office on that. and then finally,--. >> i wanted to see if mr. barton. >> i did not see him. go ahead. >> it is not the point that i want to pay a complement to the committee for the openness of this process and apparently you all have decided not to use the deem and pass rule and i really want to tank of the chairwoman and chairman waxman and congressman cardozo for that, because you all have maintained the integrity of an institution bite choosing to. that in at least tomorrow our debate will be on the policies and it will be up and down and i want to tank of

prominent scientists from around the world, major scientists, heads of university science departments, etc., from around the world who have taken a position that the manmade global warming as has been presented to us is false. i would add that to the record at this point. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. roar roar thank you very much. well, we've had cooling and -- mr. rohrabacher: thank you very much. well, we've had cooling and warming cycles for millions of years. these cycles are tied to solar activity just like similar temperature trends that we've identified on mars and other bodies in our solar system. by the way, what does solar system mean? solar, the sun, the sun is the greatest source of energy not just for our planet but for the other planets and we see on mars the same type of temperature trends. i guess they think that there's some sort of s.u.v.'s or something being driven on mars that creates a temperature change on mars. well, global warming should not be the issue because it's a fraud. what should be the issue, this is -- global pollution, and the preventing of

it has lowered costs, improve service, etc. but in the late 1990's, calif. wanted something called electricity deregulation. it was not expect the the same as trucking or airlines. what happened was a major meltdown in california. billions were lost, but rolling blackouts throughout the state. just because it is called the regulation does not mean it is going to work. host: we will start taking calls here momentarily. the numbers are on the screen. while we do this, we will show some video of some of these events in the past, and the signing of the welfare bill under president clinton, the no child but left behind bill under president bush -- the no child left behind bill under president bush. we're talking about major programs. you mentioned the big dig. that was a horrible mess. what happened there? guest: there were a lot of things that happened to their, but what we talk about -- what that happened there,, but what we talk about in the book was when the tunnel collapsed and killed a woman driving in to logan airport. when you read the ntsb report on what

short title, etc. title 1, small business tax incentives. subtitle a, general provisions. section 101, temporary exclusion of 100% of gain on certain small business stock. subtitle b, limitations of reporting on certain penalties. section 111, limitation on penalty for failure to disclose certain information. section 112, annual reports on penalties and certain other enforcement actions. subtitle c, preservation of health savings accounts and health flexible spending arrangements. section 121, repeal of limitations on medicines. section 122, repeal of dollar limitation on health flexible spending arrangements. subtitle d, other provisions. section 131, nonrecourse small business investment company loans from the small business administration treated as amounts as risk. section 132, increase in the amount allowed as deduction for startup expenditures. title 2, revenue provisions. section 201, exclusion of certain low quality fuels from the cellulosic biofuel producer credit. section 202, time for payment of corporate estimated taxes. title 1, small business tax incentives.

., etc.. and then two things i learned, one that i learned in my own country which is basically that you don't negotiate with democrats, so it is also an education of the elites and education of the political establishment and of the people, and finally something that is present with the spiritual exercises when the founder was once asked the question but i don't believe in god he had a fantastic answer which is pray as if you believe and one day you will. so it's about creating habits and basically also forcing habits but also the force of habit in terms of not discussing the issues through other mechanisms including violence but discussing it through institution of arrangements and discussion of rules and about box and that is in a sense the best we took when the process of the iraqi transition occurred. i was first called to start negotiating with jerry brummer at the time. what sort of path and the discussion was interrupted by the demise in the on the bombing of the hotel and i leader ret

just tried to murder him and that is the signal that if you don't want to have your family threatened etc. there are things you shouldn't mengin and talk about it severance of the demographic issue if there are a lot of those people who don't value individualism and capitalism and so on, what is going to happen? >> first of all if you go back to the first rules of science the first rule is including the price of your life and in my case, i have been a critic of militant islam for something like 30 years and have been under threat from several islamic organizations. they got an entire radio show that had me as a guest taken off the air in the capitol of canada for example they had four days of sitdown strikes against me and the offices of the magazine a long time ago. and basically my attitude i don't know if it is fair to say this on c-span but in the spirit of science and spirit of what i think is a life philosophy for all of us, [laughter] [applause] was the sufficiently articulate? we have any other questions? >> i heard you say that it might be time for money to go away. i'm paraphras

so aids being caused by the war on drugs and jail rape, spring crops and etc.. >> i think we get your point. we do thank you for calling this afternoon. david in idaho, democrats line. >> yes. i think we need to, first of all, pass this health care. and the reason why i say that is because we need to do something. by not doing anything is absolutely insane, because if we just pass it, whether the republicans agree with it or not, we didn't -- as soon as we pass it, then we can go ahead and work on the tweaks of the bill. but we need to at least pass it and move a step forward by helping americans, because, like i said, by doing nothing, that's worse off. and, you know, i've seen on tv how we go back and forth, back and forth. people are having problems with this health care as it is, so i think we just need to pass it and then we can go from there, whether the republicans agree with it or not. >> members continuing to arrive for the president's visit to capitol hill. we're still taking your phone calls. next, we go to melissa in iowa on the independents line. >> hi. thanks for taking

toward the other sex, toward other faiths, etc. the second thing is that when you look at the ideology of a group like al-qaeda, for osama enlighten -- osama bin ladin, his leadership is about living up to the principles of the faith. . . dealt with in a peculiar way. that is, they have an austere vision of islam which the monarchy cannot live up to because they live in the real world where you have to engage in diplomacy and compromise on certain things. as a result, they have been trying to channel aggression abroad for decades as opposed to focusing it on the monarchy. in the book "holy war" they use -- the author uses this phrase about spending a lot of money trying to create of aggression abroad so that is not aggression at home. the one of the things that is an unfortunate outcome in a state with a very few civil liberties and a set of ideals that the state can never live up to. the reason i bring this up is not to say that the saudi rehabilitation program cannot work. perhaps it can, but one question that you get into is the

obama came out and basically apologized on her behalf and said there were big failures, etc., etc. she's viewed as being tough. she was very tough as governor on these issues which is why she was selected to be homeland security governor. and again she's very well respected. i don't think there will be any action against her in congress as far as debating whether or not she should be removed. host: anthony on the democratic line in atlanta, good morning. caller: good morning. i have one question. it's dealing with homeland security. now, we are trying to stop people from coming into the country. and we are trying to regulate what flows in. why is it such a problem if we can't stop -- we can't stop drugs coming into the country. how are we going to stop people from coming into the country? >> i don't cover the d.e.a. specifically, but i do know that there's been a lot of reports from them and customs and border protection in recent years pointing to a lot more drug success than there has been in the past. i don't have figures on what they claim to have been able to accomplish. i gue

enthusiasm of these young people and their robot competes in everything from pushing balls around, etc., to try to school goals in robotics sock ar to mock combat, what you -- soccer to mock combat, what you see is people who put their minds to something. as mr. hall pointed out, will really inspire these people to careers in science, technology, engineering and math. we need more of these folks and this legislation helps champion that idea. again, i urge its passage. i don't think i have any other speakers. i'll reserve the balance of my time. if the gentleman has any other speakers. mr. hall: madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from washington. mr. baird: i would also yield back the balance of my time and urge passage. . the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and agree to house resolution 1055. those in favor will vote aye. snowe. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the resolution is agreed to,
