[laughter] >> [unintelligible] >> there is no evidence yet of visiting the gen. let me do when quick announcement and get back into the rails. i am in the tank at 7:20 p.m. we can do the warm-up earlier. i have one quick announcement. for the upcoming trip to russia, the president will give a speech to the commencement of the new economic school in moscow. this will be an opportunity for president obama tubes because but mutual interest in economic growth. >> is the white house confident that you have the vote? >> the present has spent time talking with members of congress. -- the president has spent time talking with members of congress. i think this is an historic and poverty to take specific action to reduce our dependence on energy, to reduce greenhouse gases, and, most importantly, to create a firm market place for clean energy jobs. we like where we are now. i would bet on the president. >> [unintelligible] >> i do not know how many members he has talked to. the energy team and congressional team have been talking for quite some time. i think that others in

hillary rodham clinton, gen and appalling tunnel, bill richardson, bill ritter, can salazar, mark warner, and dlc leaders all make their mark on the national spotlight. the new dlc chairman harold ford, jr. continues to speak out as one of the nation's up and coming senators. rahm emanuel leads democrats back into the majority on capitol hill after penning with bruce reed a plan in 2006. in continuing with the tradition of helping young leaders emerge and the stars, the dlc founds a new program with an eye towards the future. a quarter-century later, barack obama and joe biden's historic victory in 2008 proves that the party is ready. the new administration and congress have the chance to build a long lasting change and reform, and the opportunity to carry out a new democratic agenda. education reform, national service, health reform, energy, fiscal responsibility, and long- term growth. on the democratic leadership council, the organization that al built from the ground up is taking on a new challenge. under bruce's leadership, house legacy lives on. the power of a good idea can still i

gen fraser was commanding -- was involved in a round table so we convene to discuss how we deal with the health care facilities, and how our i ability to deal with the challenges -- our abilities could deal with the challenges. i learned about a project, it is called home town healing. the air force medical wing determined it was capable of treating wounded warriors in alaska. we brought them back to alaska, and under the general's watch, it is something we are very proud of. the hospital was voted the best in the air force. alaskas is known for the high level of support it provides for the high level -- it fosters strong relationship between leaders on our installations, and the community partnership that each senior leader improves upon during his tenure, and passes along to his successors. your air force has sent to alaska some of its best, like general martin short'schwartz. general, you stand shoulder to shoulder. i have to express some disappointment that the generals next assignment will take us away from us, where the nation leads us. that is where he will go, where ever gene

revision in the late 18th century to both of them, i said it is like and the air people brief recovery bid gen was something that just was. it was not something that people chose or did not choose. it was built into people's feelings and believe system so both abigail and john were believers and both believed in. >> i do believe they were more religious or conservative and john but both were religious people. and respectful of that. out of that came a value system that was unique to their generation, a value system that really confirmed four people the difference between right and wrong and what was good and what was bad. out of that came the belief that people had to give of themselves. they had to serve their families, they had to serve their community and serve the nation. both of them believe that the idea of service i call it by the 18th century the term, i do the. they had a sense of duty and it was that sense of duty that made john and serve the nation and that sense of duty that they both had. it was like a calling, a kind of providence and religious terms that say people existed for t

. >> rob: do you think that manny acta, jim riggleman and steve mccatty are contemplating gens getting tallet out of the game by walking barajas. >> bob: first base was open definitely. >> rob: that he be is open. >> bob: you don't want to let this guy beat you. >> rob: exactly. two outs. >> bob: that's a fastball down the middle. it had enough tail on it to get a little inside near the trademark of that bat. you just cannot let the number eight man in the national league beat you and that's what they're talking about right now.  >> bob: there's a b right-handed batter. >> rob: those are two pitches that barajas knows he could have handled. a fastball up. a slider up. missed both of them. he is hitting .30 on the road. he's liking some -- .320 on the road, so he's liking some room service. >> bob: that's unusual because in toronto, it's an indoor stadium with a retractible roof. the lighting is perfect in there. you will talk to hitters and they see the ball really well there. they have that goofy, artificial surface like they do in tampa bay

but i think really where, i think, the industry sees that benefit is -- we know that next gen is a great technology and that's the solution in the sky, but each one of those trips begins and ends at a airport and whatever we can do to expedite to have additional cement at airports, it is a benefit to everyone because 10 to 12 years to build a runway is entirely too long because the demand is here today. >> well, it sure is. it is astonishing to me that hong kong built an airport in the ocean 600 meters of ocean depth. they blew up a mountain. crushed it, dumped it. they didn't have an aclu to raise questions about it, and they didn't have environmental impact statements to file. dumped it in the ocean. 3 meters above sea level, built 2,500-foot runways and had aircraft taking off while at the same period of time seattle's 8700 foot cross-wind runway was just getting bulldozer on the property site. now, that's not being competitive in the world marked place. mr. keating, do you have some counsel for us on project expediting? >> the only counsel i would give is the sooner we can get everyt

can i ask gen what help he is willing to give so he can protect 250,000 jobs has well as strong manufacturingase is? the trades union. so has the business secretary. we're trying to do everything that we can to make that happen. clearly, there is a dispute between tar tar and the partners that was involved in the consortium. we want to support a reconciliation between these two groups and that is what we're trying to do. in the meantime, one northeast is trying to help those people who are in search of jobs. >> daniel? >> thank you, mr. speaker. the prime minister's insult to the justice party of pole land to his statement is a great insult of poland who was a member of that country and the polish people who elected that party. no matter what he thinks of the law and justice party he must understand that as prime minister of the united kingdom. he has a duty to implement basic diplomatic procedures. >> i have very good relationships with the person he's talking about. as far as the polish law -- as far as the polish law and justice department i think the conservatives should look at the polic

judge, what issues are moving forward and towards a potential resolution, though, perhaps continue gen on progress and other issues, and at some point, we'll be able to decide whether we can resolve some issues initially and others later. or whether we wait in the conjunction of all of them. i don't think it is possible to prejudge that until we know what the position of the other side is, what possible agenda for the talks is, and on that basis, organize a process which, at our end is going to be complicated by the fact which i first mentioned in my comments, namely, that not all of the participants on our side have similar views, and, which would be complicated, also, on the iranian side, by the likelihood that the iranian government, one way or nor is going to be divided on these issues and there will be ongoing political debate within iran even as the process unfolds. so i don't think i can answer your question, yes or no. all right, yes, sir. >> this will have to be the last question. >> okay. >> dr. brzezinski, question for you. you mentioned the north korea-iran formulation and

as well as some court watchers, including linda greenhouse, gen crawford greenberg, and ted olson. live coverage at 9:00 eastern on c-span, saturday. >> join our 3 our conversation sunday, july 5, live on in depth on c-span-2's book tv. >> how is c-span funded? >> through donations crac? >> my guess is government funding. >> the viewers? >> how with c-span funded? 30 years ago america pause cable companies greeted c-span as a public service, a private business initiative. no government mandate, no government money. >> "washington journal" continues. host: our guest is representative todd akin. good morning. >guest: good morning, a pleasure to join you. host: tell us what is happening on your committee. guest: the armed services committee looks over all the military needs of the entire country. i iman see, power, there are others on the land and air. there is a $600 million budget for the new year. that is maybe a 1% increase, so maybe with inflation is a little bit of a cut perhaps. it is a pretty bipartisan committee. people get along pretty well on it because everybody wants to s

hating the american people, hating fellow muslims to did not believe what they believe in god reach genned and change them. this is the god we have, this is the god we serve. this is the god of the bible and my question is if god wants to change the life of a radical muslim what you think he wants to do in your life? if god wants to give hope, peace and joy to a muslim what you think he wants to do in your life? if god is willing to forgive completely the sense of a radical muslim terrorists, a sniper, don't you think he is willing to forgive your sins? win labavitch what is happening in the world, all the things that jesus said would be evidence of the last days, and we look at what is happening in our newspapers and our world today, i have a message. i want to close with a message from believers and a message to unbelievers. if you are a follower of jesus christ and you are here in this arena or are watching or listening to my voice and you see these signs and you see how they are corresponding to events that are really happening, if you are planning any major sins in your life right now

there is a new biography of gen at howard foster that was recently published and the author has gone all across the country and there were purchase and their arrests and people losing their jobs etc.. all across the country in that time. to you associated almost totally with the political climate? and not economics? >> yes especially since the teacher shortage was going on but the way economics would play into this is teaching is a pretty conservative institution and often been for social mobility and so a person who becomes a teacher for all kinds of reasons but including social probability is not to rock the boat and make trouble or challenge issues regarding the institution they're about to join and so the teachers did not -- they certainly denounce the but the teachers who are being interrogated. >> hasn't changed so they throw out the teachers and now have a shortage of translators in iraq and brought out the days you can do that. [laughter] >> thank you so much, there -- these books are so rich and i highly recommend them. there will be sold in the other room. thank you so much
