congressman fred upton, i have things i like to say to you about all this.irst off, number one, the federal government is completely out of touch with what really goes on in the auto industry and how it operates because the price of oil has backfired. the government -- in the government's case. all used to be a cheap commodity to use as fuel for an automobile. then as time goes on you want to use of ethanol and our cars. they find out that it pollutes more than gasoline does. ok? now i want to get on to the electric hybrid car and not against cutting fuel- efficient cars or against doing something for the environment. but look, if you guys are talking about moving to an electric gasoline hybrid, and now you have twice the maintenance on a vehicle

[applause] thanks, fred. i just want to start with one quick question to both of you and that i will open it up to the audience. david, you mentioned a number of retaliatory capabilities they all. in the specific instance of an attack on its nuclear capabilities from israel or the united states which seems unlikely right now, but the israel option certainly is still talked about, what do you think would be their preferred choice of retaliation, and where do you think it might take place? and, fred, and the saints and mario, how do you think the arab side will react to such an attack? . .

[applause] >> we will hear from fred it now on how the region will respond. >> thank you. i talk today is not necessarily going to focus on i iran's power projection and regional influence in the middle east but rather they diverse and very regional responses to that power and i think a key question is whether the topics are two sides of the same quote. in other words, to what degree has iran's influence been a facilitated by disunity come in disarray and chaos in the arab system. it now no less a figure than prince turki of saudi arabia asked this question in april, this is a remarkable admission that they typically blame the u.s. on i rand's rise, but interesting twist of introspection prince turki noted that it was arab is unity and specifically tension between the so-called moderate and radical added taxes and the arab world that was responsible for enabling and extending the region in the arab world giving cause of steel to what otherwise be a paper tiger. of course, indexing critics of the regime would argue this plea for unity is actually a thinly disguised attempt

[applause] >> thanks, fred. it's a great honor to be asked to introduce admiral keating. he has that kind of resume that mere mortals only dream of. he graduated from the naval academy in 1971. shortly thereafter, began a distinguished career as a naval aviator. the most impressive thing is not the stripes on his sleeve or the stars if he were wearing a slightly different uniform, he has carried out 1200 arrested landings on aircraft carriers. he was the deputy commander of an air wing during the first gulf war and he was the commander during the second gulf war. he's had the duty of occasional penance working in washington in a variety of jobs i have the honor and pleasure of working with him when he was the deputy j3 during the '90s. and he then became after his service in connection with he became the director of the joint staff, which is the critical position as i'm sure most of you know in making that remarkable organization work as well as it does and thanks to his efforts and the efforts of a lot of other people and to goldwater-nichols law. he was then commander -

fred, it was the foundation's vision that president reagan belong here in this hall.erens that turned that into a reality. and you the foundation have done a truly remarkable job. now ladies and gentlemen, if anyone belongs in this national hall collection it is ronald wilson reagan. [applause] . like samuel adams, he was an american patriot. like henry clay, he was a subesh orator. like george washington, he was a truly great president. and like will rodgers, because the gipper and oklahoma's favorite son had a lot in common. they both starred in the movies. they both loved horses. and they both were great at telling a joke. when ronald reagan walked into the oval office in 1981 our nation faced a number of crises. vietnam, watergate, oil shocks, and economic troubles. inflation and unemployment were high and public confidence was low. experts said america's best days were behind her and that we ought to lower our expectations. but ronald reagan and his boundless optimism would have none of that. we are not as some would have us believe doomed to an inevitable declin

fred on the independent mind. caller: let me try to make a point and then a question -- the last republican collor will help me make the point of because he got his talking points straight off the fox news, that is all they have been saying. they just have the ticker running wild and hollering and screaming about rule in favor of -- host: what is your point? caller: my point is this, the way i understand it, most of the dealers, they all seem to donate, i think 10 to one to the republicans, and when are you guys going to wise up? the democrats are the ones supporting you. fox news live is making a cottage industry out of attacking you. the republicans hate the unions. they despise the unions. i have a brother who is a dealer and he has been a republican his life and he realized this and he went down and switched its registration just last week. host: fred, thank you for the call. do you want to respond? guest: as a former democratic congressman, i will not respond. host: allen on our democrats line. caller: i will

[applause] >> thanks, fred. i just want to start with one quick question to both of you and all open up to the audience in a david, you mentioned a number of retaliatory capabilities, the finance told to offset their inferior position conventionally. in this specific instance in attack on its nuclear facilities either from israel or the u.s. which seems unlikely right now of the israel option is still talk about the, what do see would be their preferred choice of retaliation and where do think it might take place? and fred, in the same scenario can do things the arab side will react to such an attack? >> it's a very good question and i don't predispose to be a moment to define what iran's escalation ladder is, for example,, but it has a number of options which i think early on could take in the event of an attack on as nuclear facilities and one certainly is the use of its ballistic missiles as a way of trying to increase the cost of potential u.s. attack would be increasing cost to our allies of providing suppo

host: thank you, fred. guest: without a doubt, the principal ingredient in the greenhouse effect, where the global warmers because of the presence of substances in the atmosphere, it is -- where the globe warms because of the presence of substances in the atmosphere. we conducted during that time 27 days of hearings on global warming and on various regulatory solutions that we might be able to put into place. we focused on the science and we had panels of experts from the united nations independence -- looking at various greenhouse gases and we focused on the question the gentleman is raising to the analysis that many people made as this. the caller is quite right when he says that water vapor is a more effective greenhouse gas than is carbon dioxide, and it is much more plentiful. but the global climate system is very similar to the human body. if our body temperature raises by as much as two or three degrees out of an average of about 98 degrees, for normal, then we are in a crisis. it only takes a very s

so when we talk about this off the top of my head i said let's call it fred. [laughter] that might be more palatable but honest, another in a wicked use is based in centered at come research, at least it would reflect the intent of the research or just call it shopping. whenever we call one thing is certain -- we need to address the concern that this research might help -- might be used to it ration health care. people talk about cost effectiveness hearses clinical like the mess. people talk about whether the research can be used to make coverage decisions and these concerns boil down to an underlying issue -- rationing. is it serious and is to be addressed with integrity. there are several ways and the first is to make sure that that read the surgeon is patient focus and it must consider a patient's preferences for how they want to humans to work. patients must be actively involved in a setting the priorities and the signing of the research studies and research is financed relative for patients. we should assist patients so they can participate in the process

. >> thanks i have a question for fred. couple of questions, actually. can you take a look or compare for us the kind of activism you see the meddling by iran today versus the early days of the revelation, when they had dreams of exporting and -- revolution, when they had dreams of exporting and were much -- were visibly helping a lot of groups, eastern saudi arabia, the eastern gulf, region as well as deeper in the arab world. and also, compare it with the what the oddies -- saudis are doing in promoting their own funds, promoting wahhbism, building mosquealize over the region and to what degree those two are trying to counter each other or is this really just their own domestic agenda. >> i think there's a qualitative difference between obviously the post-revolutionary period in that the appeal -- iran's ideology that it's trying to sell is a mix of rejectionism, it can arguably be called pan arabism. in fact there's an interesting quote from abofficial in hezbollah which said iran's foreign policy is essentially sunni because iran has essentially co-o

so when we talked about this one day i off the top of my head said let's call it fred. that might be more palatable and less on him news. we can called it patient center effective inss in and it would reflect the intent of the research or we could just call it shopping. whatever we call it one thing is certain, we need to address the very real concerns that this research -- very real concerns that this research might be used to, quote, ration healthcare. people talk about comparative effectiveness versus clinical effectiveness. people talk about whether the research can be used to make coverage decisions. these concerns boil down to one underlying issue, rationing. this is serious and it needs to be addressed with integrity. there's several ways. the first is to make sure that the research is patient-focused. the research must consider patient's preferences for how they want treatments to work. patients must be actively involved in setting the research priorities and designing the research studies. the research findings need to be relevant for patients. we should assist

"washington journal" begins each day with the day's news. >> president obama met with the chairman and ranking member of the committees working on health care legislation. the senators worked -- spoke with reporters after wards. this is eight minutes. >> the president wanted to meet to discuss health care rosm. the main point is, we have to act now together, which is probably one of the more important messages we wanted to make, to revamp the health care system, so that health care costs do not go up as rapidly as they have. so many person families are experiencing an uncon shunnable hike in health care costs. we have to reform the system, reform the health insurance system so people are not denied coverage based on preexisting conditions or health status. and

joe and fred and the other members, i want to let you know i have the personal greatest regard for you. in no way do i want to leave an impression that we would conduct hearings that were not fair and open to all of the members of the sub committee or the witnesses who appear at this meeting. now turn to recognize the gentleman from michigan. mr. upton. >> like many members on this side i do value your friendship. realize that we're good adversaries on a number of fronts. and we've been together on a number of fronts. i know that it is very important that there is no intention to intimidate or pressure witnesses to testify in something that they perhaps don't believe in. i for one appreciate your zamt this morning. i appreciate you calling for the hearing on national transmission policy today. the electricity grid is of vital importance to the nation. we all know that. however it's an area often overlooked. as evidenced by the fact there was only minor mention of transmission in the waxman climate bill. and that today we're having our first really big transmission hearing. we do have a

i was a the third most significant case in the court's history was fred scott -- dred scott. there are examples of what to do and very challenging to tuitions and had handled them, but the scott cases is an example of hw things went incredibly wrong. i think some of the reasons are pretty clear. yet the most divisive issue in our history, leading the country toward civil war. the political branches failing to address it in the case of the executive and causing more harm than good in the case of the legislature. you had roger taney whose reputation would be quite different if it weren't for this one case. looking at it and saying the other branches are working, the issue was threatening to destroy the country. i'm going to solve it. i am the only one who can. i'm more less took it upon myself to lead the court into a resolution that was dividing the country, and in a broadway that really had no basis in a proper reading of the constitution and in a situation that could have been resolved in either way on much narrower grounds that would have preserved the court above the fray.

guest: well, fred it sort of moves slowly. that is no criticism. i sort of talk slowly. he talks even more slowly than i do. host: john from michigan says -- guest: i would hope so, but the answer to that right now is not in the immediate future. i have never understood why. i think it should be one hour, but it is just working its out on the schedule and in our ranks with affiliate's. so far we have not been able to get that done. it would make an amazing difference if we could be on for one hour. host: how has the passing of tim russert changed your approach? guest: it has not changed our approach at all. we will not change will we have always done. we will not try to fix something we do not believe at this point is broken. but i missed him a great deal and we were great friends personally. we had been close friends for many years. our seats were together out at the nationals ball park. we talked a lot of politics whil the team was playing baseball out there. for me, the passing of tim was a real personal loss. he really had a tremendous impact on the sunday morning pr

cents on the dollar for administration versus medicare and medicaid which is 3 cents on the dollar fred mabus st oversight -- administrative oversight. what is this plan going to do to go into it and do a forensic audit of these insurance companies to ensure that they are now going to be able to pass along these enormous administrative costs dave embedded in the current administration of their plans that they pass on to the consumers? i mean this is part of something i think as you already know being an insurance commissioner is unattainable for us. this is where our savings are going to be is going after these 30 cents on the dollar that never make their way to health care at the bedside. >> well, i think that is one of the essentials elements of having some competition in the new marketplace. so, a health insurance exchange combining options and they would compete for benefits and for costs, and i think that part of the competition is a way to get to regulatory oversight over the overhead cost. 30 cents on the dollar may be high but i don't think there is any dispute that somewhere in

there is fred drink gonzales on the other side. >> buck: freddy still has amezaga, de aza and paulinothree players on their bench. >> jim: so andrew miller who watched his team score five in the bottom of the seventh to watch his team have the 6-1 lead now pitches for a no decision. he misses the chance for a win. just missed outside. >> buck: i can bet you when andrew miller left the ballgame, everyone on the ballgame said okay, we're in the bullpen now, let's do something, and, boy, did they ever. just one hit. >> jim: there is a bunt attempt and it is foul. >> buck: i misspoke. amezaga is not active. he is on the disabled list now. >> jim: so that leave as righty, paulino, and the lefty de aza. two pinch hitters and a defensive replacement, and all dave trembley has left on his bench are pitchers. it is not likely to get up there at the plate. 1-2 on bonifacio. one out and none on in the bottom of the ninth. and a tapper. johnson has to hurry, and the toss and beyond aubrey huff. bonifacio didn't pick it up. he'll get back to first. because of the speed of bonifacio, that was a tou

say, i would have a hard time understanding why members of the committee, given that the fanny and fred ri are under receivership -- conserve toreship -- conservatorship would not be allowed to see this letter. but i would hope the chairman and the committee would support that position. the chairman and the committee would support that position. >> i can tell you this letter has been discussed with the new board at the first meeting of the new board as the new secretaries came in, and we have gone through the contents and continuing to look at those issues and we will continue to work through those issues. i, again, as we work with the board members, it is an advisory board, and they have been very helpful, and i think that it is very useful to have that kind of dialogue, but to the extent that it gets out in the public is not as helpful and we may not have as much dialogue in the future. >> it is very confidential and the only people i know that have it is the press. >> i guess that makes the point for me. >> thank you, mr. chairman, since we have an oversight responsibility, we should

e fred nigh bandwith military attack but what about now? mr. bush, during his last days said we are not after toppling the islamic establishment. mr. obama expressly said in 27 years and during your government mr. qahtani, america which toppling the establishment. today they announced they are not after this. which foreign policy has been more successful? which has created, which is brought humiliation for this nation? which foreign policy preserve our independence? which gave more concessions? for 15 years the european said we want to criticize the iran aunt raise issues that iran is not observing human rights. asking two questions about the holocaust into questions, to questions-- the whole human rights system in the west. they are crying, the israelis are shouting in the people in the west are shutting. some people say i have rans dignity is being pushed. how can you say that? how can we wait till the enemy comes to our soil? today the threat is not directed at iran. of course all of this is thanks to people steadfastness and the sacrifices

be focusing on iran's military power projection and their capabilities, and it will be followed by fred weary, another senior analyst your it will be focusing on regional reactions to iran. so without further ado. thank you. >> thank you. think you all for being here. i'm going to talk today about iran's defense strategy and a little bit about its military doctrine, and in how well it has been able to operationalize that doctrine to develop capabilities that will benefit that doctrine and meet the requirements of strategy. mikey points are threefold. first of all it looks like from our perspective that iran is able to formulate a strategy and a doctrine that aligns well with that strategy. i'll talk about that in just a minute. the second piece is that while this is the case, a number of capabilities that they have developed or try to develop have fallen short in some key areas. have fallen short of that doctrine, but in other areas, the third point i will get to, there is some reason to be concerned especially as we look out next three to five, even 10 years if they continue developing

and fred manfra, and i go up and we get out of the car, and tom, who did the broadcasting for the mets when trachsel was pitching for the mets said don't dell me that trachsel is pitch for the orioles. throw the ball! i go, yeah. that's what he used to yell from the broadcast booth. >> bob: so that is the first thing he said to you when you step out of the car? >> jim: exactly. better you than me. >> bob: guys, throw the ball in the eighth inning. i'm outta here. jim hunter on the way back and in downtown baltimore, it is all orioles on this friday night! >> bob: oriole fans, when it comes to tickets you you deserve main league service, so go to stub hub, the official fan-to-fan market place. a look at the upcoming schedule tomorrow night and sunday afternoon against the nationals. don't forget on sunday, the game also on wjz and then it is back to american league play for the orioles as the red sox come to town to complete the home stand night games on monday and tuesday and a day game on getaway day on wednesday afternoon. that completes the orioles home stand. there is the line scor

we were like fred hampton and mark clark just handmurderred by the nib and the chicago police departmentousand people a day or being killed in vietnam. pay attention to the real issues and you couldn't because of the manson thing. so i gave a speech saying, dig it, charles manson. and i meant it in the most ironic terms. how could i possibly support a mass murderer who was a racist and hated women and children. inconceivable so of course i never supported him but that one sentence gets repeated and tagged with me ad nauseam. >> host: next question from though audience. >> i'm from chicago and i appreciate the fact that the two of you appeared to have lived your values, and that's something that i think we all admire. whether we agree or don't. i'm a former educator, retired, union member. i appreciate that comment, your support of the unions. my question, you have stated some very valid values, goals for education, the fact is we have this umbrella of no child left behind. if you had the choice, ifoff had the power, what would you do? >> guest: i think i appreciate your bringing that up

host: fred, from new orleans, you are on with bomb ridge. -- with tom ridge. caller: you brought up the anthrax attacks. you did not finish the statement. the anthrax attack was traced back to for beatrix -- to fort dietrich. so if we have terrorists, they are somewhere in fort beatridie. new evidence for 9/11 has been uncovered by "the new york times" given to families of 9/11, uncovering that saudi arabia was a major financial backer of those involved in 9/11. host: is saudi arabia and internal threat? guest: first of all, i do not think that is any secret that there are sources within saudi arabia, whether they are in the form of contributions or -- john mccain said that we pay that part of the world for oil, but much of the end up in the pockets of terrorists. that is not a revelation. it is common knowledge. it is a fact. for the longest time, there were those in the saudi government, and there was this notion that you could export the terrorists as an extreme factor in order to get them out of their own indigenous country, they have kind of support of th

and political activists had reached a level that we could have only imagined, the assassination of fred hampton and mark clark, the black panther leaders, that was covered up by the city and reenacted as if they provoked the attack and the asass mission. constant arrests of white radicals for nuisance events and massive demonstrations against the war which by then was -- who knew it was going to go on for five more years, but about a thousand people a day were being killed in southeast asia, so the level of polarization, in the country, the level of militancy and reresistance was enormous and in that framework, once we kind of dropped out and changes our names and were just trying not to be caught and regroup is what a relief to be outside of that caldron. >> where you grow up? >> guest: chicago, my hometown. eugene field day school on the north side and my parents moved to milwaukee, and i graduated from milwaukee and this is my 50th reunion year. i'm going back to my 50th 50th reunion for high school. >> whoa are your pains? >> guest: dorothy and barney. i had a wonderful childhood. n

powering ourselves down the road by running with both of our feet stuck through a hole and the floor like fredtstones although it may come to that with the 2010 at obama mobile. [laughter] but most important of all, most important of all was the car's fulfilled the ideal of what america's founding fathers. of all the truths that we hold to be self-evident, of all of the unalienable rights with which we are in doubt, which one is most important to the american dream? it is right there, front and center, flat in the name of the declaration of independence -- freedom to leave. freedom to get at a town, freedom to get the hell out of here. king george, can i have the keys? that is what the declaration of independence says. i've got to tell you, the saga of the american car, this is not an abstract matter to me. this is no subject of fans of old series. now, nancy pelosi, she may think she was transported home from the maternity ward on pink fluffy clouds supported by sarah emma. low carbon sarah them.

is the first impulse was to fred for himself, asking her how this new job might affect them. when she assured him he could remain where he was in her weekend visits would continue, he gave his permission. that night in bed the woman cried a deep wailing sobs the frighten her teenage daughter. she knew the job would change her life forever. she would open herself to constant scrutiny, harsh judgment from her peers and public criticism for doing a job no woman had done before yet she knew she must accept the offer. lesser grandmother had told her, whenever a door opens to you you have no choice but to what rick. the next day she called franklin roosevelt and accepted the offer. frances perkins would become the nation's first female secretary of labor. well, we know what happened. the social security act passed in 1935 and it gave us unemployment insurance, social security and our welfare system which became aid to dependent children, which was originally designed to help the children of mothers who were let's to care for their children alone. these were mostly with us at the ti
