politicized past the election gets near. the farm bill seems to be in a nexus between home state concerns, jobs, the economy and concerns over the debt. how does this all play out? >> it plays out the way mike has outlined in terms of different regions fighting for their priorities. the two chairmen of the agriculture committees in the house and senate are concerned about what is going to happen to the baseline for the farm bill. they generally, when things get tight in the budget, the cuts come out of agriculture. come out of agriculture. the house agriculture chairman , that's one of the reasons he started hearings so early, to find out what the priorities are and get a sense of what is people can live without. it is going to be tight and it's going to be tough. it is going to have a broad it is going to have a broad range effect on people. >> the secretary repeatedly referred to there listening to and working with a chairman. while the chairman of the agriculture committees are typically captured by the industry and servi

he needs to be more get on their backs to help to get that clean up done. also, obama has possible funds that he could use to faster cleanup the oil spill. so, some of the expertise in terms of knowledge is not there. it is a catch-22, sort of, you know what i am saying? he could use his presidency to get it done quicker, you know what i'm saying? aspects. host: all right. we are asking if the president should be showing more a motion in response to the gulf oil spill. "the president's spokesman was asked about this yesterday at the daily briefing." >> when the top killed procedure failed over the weekend, he said that the leak was as enraging as heartbreaking. have you seen the president and rage about this? -- enraged about this? >> throughout this process. >> has that come through to the american people? >> the american people are frustrated. the white house is frustrated. the president is frustrated. i do not see how anyone who looks at the gulf cannot be anything other than frustrated and heartbroken. absolutely. host: new york, democratic line. what d

you get paid? caller: in normal times, probably no more than 45,000 or 50,000. host: do you suspect it is also that in, range, that makes it difficult to hire you? caller: well, i definitely lowered my expectations when it comes to trying to find work in terms of expectations in salary and the salary range. no, it is not that i'm being offered positions or turning down positions because it is too low of pay. the jobs are not out there, period. it is just really bad for a lot of people in a lot of areas. i know several people who have degrees in political science and and and of working in fields -- and ended up working in fields not associate with their degrees. it is really bad out there. i could go on and on but i know my time is limited. host: we will move on to sam in san diego, independent line. caller: the last two callers are 100% accurate. here in sanndiego, we have a lot of commercial property that has nothing but chain-link fence around it, and they have a habit of turning what ever is on

>> they are getting footage now. >> that's terrific. >> it is only going to get better. we talked about that last time. >> she has really enjoyed that. the ingredients are coming in. >> that should be helping some of those folks out. >> we have about 40 vendors who are registered, certified arkansas farmers. we are bringing along some local and international media so i can get some more attention. good to see you. how long are you calling us? >> here and one more. >> very good. >> let's say hello. >> good morning. how is it going? we have met. >> i'm here to remind you to vote again. >> we appreciate that. >> i think that is a common theme. you can go to the courthouse on monday if you want to vote early. tuesday is the big day. >> i am registered out there. i am registered here. >> how is the farm going? >> it is going good. >> we can direct market our food. it can be a real challenge. we're being pushed farther to the south. >> besides this location, where else do you set up? >> we do four farmers markets each week. we have growth restores, and we are all over the stat

they need to get to a place where they can get taken care of.o as in the case of this oil spill, we continue to try to go by the rules of what i call peacetime rules. so we asked the osha guy, what do you think, how long, what can you do? then we ask the corps engineers? oh, we've got to get the books out, we've got to study this. what are we doing? it's a berm. can the berm cause more harm than the oil? i think not. so we are using peace timte rules to fight a war and they don't work. in a disaster when people's lives, property, animals and a way of life are at risk, some of these rules are hindering the operation. it's like let me see your fire extinguisher, and is it up to standard. some of that is just stupid. you've got to break some of these rules if you're going to respond in a disaster. host: we've got about another six minutes left in this segment. our next call comes from carterville, illinois. ken on our line for republicans. go ahead. caller: good morning. rob, you stole my thunder about the jones act. there are 13 countries that wan

>> we -- we're getting together. probably going to have songs and sing and things like that to remember all of the good that he's done. >> larry: and try to make it joyous. >> try to make it joyous, but it hurts at the same time. but he would want us to be happy. michael was very special in the sense that he -- i kind of felt that he -- he felt something about his life, and he did say on numerous occasions at times to my mother that he felt that he was being threatened and someone was trying to kill him. >> larry: really? >> yes, yes. >> larry: he had a premonition of early death by violence, or some method? >> yeah. someone. >> larry: how is randy? we heard he had a scared. >> randy is fine. he scared me too. randy had some chest pains, and he's been working very, very hard keeping things together with the family and everything. and we got a call right during the -- the lakers playoff he was rushed to the hospital. he is doing fine now. i saw him the past weekend, and he said he's -- he's doing much, much better. he

the court system will get another 5000. you end up getting 60,000 out of your $100,000 loss. congress can pass a cap on disasters that says that trial lawyers cannot get more than 20 percent of the first telthousand $10,000 dollars. and that is where they could help us. host: president obama meeting with tony hayward today. he will ask bp to set up a fund immediately to help pay at claims. newspapers are reporting this morning on whether the president has the authority to make bp set this up. caller: good morning. and first of all, when obama stopped the drilling i went to the c-span website, and i came along a memorandum that he sent on march 31 to ken salazar. it was a withdrawal of leasing for any wheel a oil or dassgas development. but i saw an interview that the president was still talking about more drilling to get the prices down. if he was still calling for more drilling, but knew he had signed an executive order on march 31, two weeks before i, i hope somebody investigate that. it is a little strange that he would keep calling for more drilling and he has already sig

getting their sort of buy-in and getting this kind of sprawling force moving in the same direction. >> woodruff: kimberly kagan, what would you too old that? what will he bring that's different? >> he's also an energetic commander like general mcchrystal was. the headquarters a year ago was energized by general mcchrystal. i think general petraeus will bring that. but he will also bring a fount of experience from his time in iraq, including how to oversea a counterinsurgency fight which involves improving the government, the economics and the social structure which in afghanistan is so fragmented. in iraq... >> couric: pulling... >> woodruff: pulling it together? >> pulling it together, synthesizing it and seeing to it that securing the people is but one element of a larger strategy to see to it that the afghan government gets built in a way that endures over time rather than collapsing again and again into civil war. >> woodruff: colonel peter mansoor, ely elaborate on that. you did work closely with him in iraq. >> well, what i would too old what greg had to say, besides a relations

we use it to get work. there is something might be wrong with our nation that condemns arizona for merely -ptrying to enforce federal law- host: i have to stop the at that point. immigration and arizona's law. or first guest this morning at 7:45 a.m. eastern time, former chief of staff of customs and board of protection agency, the second political position in that agency, and he will be here to talk about border security and deployment of national guard troops to the border to help enforce the immigration laws. next is a call from columbia, maryland. regina, democrats line. l bp, the oil spilll, to this day we have not capped the dam oil -- damn oil. israel, nets and now hope the standing there beside himself with -- netanyahu is now standing there beside himself saying, where is the leader, where is the president? host: topping a list of concerns, that is what we are talking about. "the financial times" has the bp oil spill. an interview with tony hayward, saying they lacked the right tools. the headline

you get to get out when they cease to be interesting. doctors, lawyers, you are stuck with the appendixes and pains. you go into a newsroom and i thinthis is one of the reasons we love the new it is electric. whats going on? what is happening? what do we not know about it. what is our approach and methods to find out? >> the most amazing moment of my life, i was 16 years old and i walked into a newsroom. i remember that to this day. i did not get the job. i was going to apply for the job. i was a copy boy. the guy who gave me the tour and rer,was my perspective highe took me over to a cart or the newspapers had just come. he said take one. they were born from just having been printed. i will ner forget that. >> it sounds almost sexual. [laughter] >> it almost was. >> the warm newspaper. >> coming on to your web site. next question. >> regarding the government's insistence on the good news story regarding two wars in iraq and afghanistan, what is that doing to the government and at large and our country and the state of journalism and why

>> i think you try to get as much information as you can. and there have been times when the hearing has been decisive or even the fact that thh hearing is coming up and people start exploring questions has been decisive, when president reagan with drew one of his names before the hearing even began. president george w. bush did also. are there dramatic changes? yes. are we going back to the old days? no. probably the best example is she is replacing jean-paul stevens. i was in the senate when he was nominated. nominated by conservative republican president. it was an overwhelmingly democratic senate and he was confirmed in two and a half weeks. and he made courtesy calls on a number of senators. that's not going to be the same for his successor. she has made the courtesy calls. i think she has talked with practically er senator. and but thh questions will be significant. i'm concerned, for example, with the trend of the court, it's become a very activist court. we have seen a lot of long-standing law that has been overturned, for example wi

come in and get a check. and you're absolutely right-- right now, these emergency payments for small businesses , individuals, you don't have to relinquish your right to sue. take this money , and later on file a claim with the fund that will give you a choice -- take the liquidated amount or litigate. and you'll make that choice only after you know how much you'll receive from the fund. >> brown: and does b.p. , the company itself, have any involvement in this process? and is the company's continuing financial situation , or financial health any part of your concern, something that you have to keep in mind? >> as the president made very clear , i am running an independent facility at the request of the president of the united states and b.p. my independence cannot be challenged. that is my independence in terms of how this program ought to be established. i am concerned that we not get flooded with so many ineligible, specious claims that no fund in the world could handle them. i mean, there are going to hav

go get every ship you can get your hands on. assemble the wagon have them in a big circle around the well and do not let them get out of there. and we are thinking, where are all of the boats? every military belt we own -- every military boat we on. >> 26,000 people on the ground, 66 aircraft -- and still not -- i still do not believe that. i started counting what they .ave coming in bee >> it is empty. the man from the animal preserve says that people should be out on the beach is collecting these channels at 6:00 a.m. and nobody is there. >> she came and she cried because she saw a brown pelican. [laughter] >> they have them trying to crawl back up. we had a meeting appear yesterday the test the person that bp hired to deal with the animal thing he refused a the entrance. i said, get out of the way. we are coming in. hey, how're you doing? >> how're you doing? it is nice to see you. >> it is good to see a. >> -- see you. >> we are talking about the bird place. so the state wildlife people made it in there yesterday appeare. th

new employees might not get about its that older employees get.ght be asked to contribute more. the public pension employees might face the same choices that many private-sector employees have been dealing with over the past decade. host: fairfield, calif., democrats line, go ahead. caller: when arnold schwarzenegger first became governor he fired the head of caplpers because he took on disney. as the biggest shareholder of disney stock, it seems like he was exercising the republican ideal of the investors holding the managers of these stocks accountable. why was that never looked into? that was an ugly thing. calpers has not recovered since he fired the manager. guest: we are all human. it strikes me that we have difficult choices and the future. the age-old issue of how does one best incentiv 5ize exec is to perform well? shareholders can -- employees can determine whether something is right and leave. time tells and performance based compensation is something that is on shareholders' minds. whether they make corrector incorrect decisions -- the

we cannot get it lit. it takes the good, black crude oil for us to get to burn. there definitely is a lot ofd. smoke. that may be yet-to them, to see the air pollution, but as much crude oil as they are burning off, i think it is a positive. there is very little esidue on this. if we disburse it and spread it out -- if we disperse it, we spread it out, but if we burn it, it is gone. especially if we get it right from the source. as soon as it comes up, burnet, it is done. -- burn it, it is done. >> thank you. >> primarily, what happens is, they send off a request, and the request goes through all these people in this room, and they basically identify it and purchase it and get it back to the field as quickly as these gentlemen here, that is the airport ordered short -- alternative response team. the team is designed to look at all these suggestions people have and evaluate those as far as they can contribute to the response or not. >> this room is our environmental unit. we have here the world's foremost experts in oil science. we have some private industry folks

but if we can get it to a better piece of legislation, we can get the majority of democrats. i would not pretend that we could get all we all want something that we can take back to the districts and say that this is what we have done, and this will have a healthy impact on fiscal responsibility. >> you think we will sit out before this month or the election? could this be folded into the fiscal commission negotiations? >> it could come up in july. we could deal with issues light it being exploited by president putting a muzzle on some members. you could do more spending rather than less spending. we always do what we did once before, and you have the ability to put up the equal alternative. the alternative they got the most votes would be still standing. we could do something like that to give us more flexibility. years ago we had targeted tax incentives. we have a couple of republican bills that were targeted to just a few taxpayers, and we define it as a benefit that resounded to only a small number of taxpayers. >> peter orszag says that he is going to be leaving soon. ca

there are the ones who get injured. -- they are the ones who get injured. i said, we could do a search training program for women to train them to search their communities and they could train other women. we could put the kits together for them. we could put the training into french creole. he said, this is great. we committed to spend $250,000 supporting this program. it was through the clinton global initiative. it up as a little while to get this all put together and translate it into the kids -- it took us a little while to get this all put together and translated into the kits. my team was ready to go the week of the earthquake. i had a meeting with president clinton in new york. i said, wait till after the meeting, then go. we held off sending the team over there. i was at u.s.a.i.d. meeting with the new administrator on wednesday morning. on wednesday afternoon the big earthquake hit. that changed the whole meeting in new york. it changed it to our response meeting. president clinton asked me to go with him to haiti after the earthquake, and i did t

and could not get it done. deep water drilling only became available recently because of technological advancements. it has been one of those areas where we have an energy sector economy where we could do something like this. if you want to turn them off, that is fine, but people will have to except that they have to pay more money for their energy or deal with the risk. i think that before we decide the problem is deep water drilling, and clearly there are risks involved, it will be interesting to find out where petroleum fails to engage in all of the safety precautions required when you are doing that. if the problem is more how they run the re. -- crairig. host: "peter king is planning to introduce a resolution defending israel against criticism it has received over the handling of the gaza flotilla incident." martha's vineyard, democratic line. caller: yes, the gentleman just answered one of my statements that i wanted to speak about. why politicians do not allow deep drilling around cape cod and martha's v

and i get caught up in the drama.ike for example, who's your favorite person on the hills. >> larry: on the who? >> the hills? like do you feel like kristen this year is fake about her relationship with brody? or do you feel like she's really heart broken? and what's it like for you to go online and see she's with levine? we're supposed to believe she -- >> larry: you're discounting something. the inner feelings of brody. you left that out. >> i need a minute. >> larry: i cried. >> i know. >> larry: and you didn't when you mentioned it. >> like it was nothing. >> larry: he was my favorite person on the sho. >> i know you ha a bromance with him. >> larry: she'll be in vegas july 10th. i might be there, too. >> please come see me, lar. once we were dreamers. adventurers set out to discover new lands. new people. new ways. once we were great explorers. in search of hidden treasure. secret hideouts. magic lands. the treasure is still here. and waiting to inspire a new generation of dreamers. come uncover the riches and bo

but we get along very well.of us get on very well. >> is in formal in the sense there's a certain amount of conversation. but most of his wook. >> the justices are actually very thoughtful bout what they're doing. and each one was very thoughtful about giving their reasons for their vote. >> i still not heard the first unkind word in that room. now you think what we have decided. life-and-death, abortion, execution, war and peace, financial ruin government, relationship with the citizen -- you name it, we have decided it. >> those discussions lead a tentatively.+ that vote is not cast in concrete. concrete yet.+ you can change her mind. >> it is not just win or lose. reversal or ffrm, but what rationale that you use, with principal you used to teachh something. and if the case is closed, 5-4, and you're on the side with the majority, they're not a lot of backslapping. there's a moment of quiet and respect. in the most important responsibility is the responsibility for assigning opinions once the votes are in. if

, public gets information and academics and scientists get this information. this is going to be a fluid and evolving process. let me make a final point. i think this was something that was emphasized by everybody here and something that i wanted to -- to say to the american people. this will be contained. it may take time. it is going to take a whole lot of effort. there's going to be damage done to the -- to the gulf coast and there's economic damages and we got to make sure b.p. is responsible for and -- but the one thing i'm confident about is that -- as we have before, we will get through this crisis. one of the things that i wanted to make sure we understand is that -- not only are we going to control the damages to the gulf coast, but we want to actually use this as an at some point to reexamine and work with states and local communities to -- to restore the coast in ways that, that -- actually enhance the livelihoods and the quality of life for people in that area. it is going to take time. it is not going to be easy. and -- you know, this is a resilie

but for nothing, they don't get a college degree they don't get an education they just get access to citizenship of the united states of america for their $44,000 that's their share of the national debt. a little baby with ink on their foot stamped there on the birth certificate, there's one in this country we haven't seen, but those we have seen, owe uncle sam $44,000. and, madam speaker, when that little child enters fifth grade, and i pick fifth grade thaws that's the budget cycle. we calculate our revenue screen and outgo over a period of time. we paw number on something like obamacare, what does that cost? that's over a 10-year period of time. from that period, 10 years from the time they're born they'll be starting fifth grade. they start fifth grade that little child that owes uncle sam $44,000 that was born today, owes uncle sam at that point, starting fifth grade, $88,000 under president obama's budget. doubles the individual national debt share just projecting the president's budget. that, madam speaker is what the president's -- is with the president's own numbers. there i

it did not get much support.ou guys have to do stimulus spending -- how you say at the g-20 that you guys have to do it in the spending we are not having much success here? >> we could have a second relapse of the recession, particularly with the decline in home sales. from time to time it becomes alarming. but we're taking a stand that i said, -- as i said balances short-term and long-term. we're trying to show that we are moving toward long-term stability. we are basically adopting deneen said it can be cut in half -- a means to cut the deficit in half a over four years. by 2013 the deficit is cut in half over before your fiscal years. if we can achieve those results, then i think we can say we have done what we set out to do. >> stephen, let's get you win. >> i'm wondering -- we have seen a lot of internal division among democrats in both chambers. it seems hard to get consensus on anything going to the floor, whether it be the text extenders vellbill. balad refreshments of mars are concerned about going back

so guys, what'd we get?byzantine. >> ballard: byzantine. >> i could tell by the anchor. >> ballard: all right, we got a byzantine shipwreck. >> logan: until this moment, no one had laid eyes on this ship for about 1,400 years. "hercules" glided over the wreck site, the ancient cargo piled six feet high, the ship's hull most likely buried beneath the sand. >> yep, yep. this is a really nice shot. >> logan: these well preserved ceramic containers, called amphora, were typically used to transport wine and oil. the last time they were on dry land, constantinople was the center of the western world. >> zoom out just a little to frame it, bob, so they get the whole image. >> perfect. >> logan: for ballard, their value is measured in history and science; he's not a treasure hunter. his team of archeologists documents every detail, measuring the cargo with lasers. >> ballard: oh, look at this. that's important-- they've got, like, a thumbprint of the age. what's the age of that? >> it is sixth to seventh century. th

it gets you into trouble.ne of the dissatisfactions, one of the many dissatisfactions, and you'r seeing it in election after election across the country is that people think that the federal government are going to stop listening to them and the representatives have stopped listening to them. i happen to think one of the biggest contributors to that is this venomous partisanship that goes back and forth and you know, you have to recognize that, you know, when you're making a statement and you're in the minority, that the failure to produce a budget is a failure to govern, sometimes the dog catches the car. you then are put in a position where it's your job to craft a budget. so what are we to think if you don't produce a budget i think you're to think that it's a failure to gove. rather than saying that, it would be my preferred path that we would work together, republicans and democrats, just because a democrat has an idea, i don't dismiss it as a bad idea because it came from a democrat. plimyepublican colle

they could get up to $50,000, they could get a debt relief, they could get resources for the payment of taxes, or they can choose to proceed with litigation. and the plaintiffs lawyers i think understand that. and i think what they would like to have is is a resolution of all of these cases twunt. that's difficult to do when the courts have not certified a class action. so we're trying to do the best we can with the judicial circumstances that are facing us, we're dealing not with one case but literally thousands of cases. we just want to give each of those plaintiffs the individual option to either take the money now or to pursue litigation against the department and whatever the judgment is, if there is a judgment, we'll have to pay it. to pay it. >> so i take that to mean that we can't expect an annougesment any time soon of the settlement in any of the outstanding cases. >> well, i don't think it's fair to suggest that. there's also a native american case where there are negotiations and discussionings negotiations and discussionings taking place. that has been at least partially

host: we want to get you involved. we are talking about campaign finance loans. -- campaign finance funds. the numbers are on the screen. please allow 30 days between your calls. john bresnahan of politico is our guest. what about unions? do they fall into this language as well? guest: there would be covered by that. they would not be exempted. host: who is for it? who is again ist it? guest: the chamber of commerce and a number of other organizations feel this#ua is n infringement on their activity. they are opposing this bill. also, other progressive groups such as sierra club. what happened is that during the week, there were complaints about the exemption given for the nra. the democratic leadership decided to lower the limit on a number of -- and lower the limit on a group. but the sierra club does not like the bill anyway and is opposed to it. they're going to oppose the bill anyway. it and different blocks of members -- and different blocks of members within the democratic caucus, blue dogs, they were opposed t

it gets back to values.i travel to afghanistan as part of my responsibilities as a secretary of agriculture. it is not as military folks over there. it is at the forest service and the usda over in afghanistan risking their lives. i asked the folks, what would you separate yourself from your family? why would you seearate yourself from your friend? why would you take yourself from your comfortable home and community and travel halfway around the world to a barren place where you are never sure if your next step might be your last? why would you do that? every single person i talked to, of all the people we had over there, they all came from small towns. they all came from rural communities. they all felt it was their responsibility, their obligation, their duty, to dearer -- to their country, to you, to me, to take that risk. they are humble people come regular folks. they do not think of themselves as heroes. they do not think of themselves as great. but they are. and you are. people who live in these rural

it will take time to get results. so even with $10 billion, this isn't going to happen with a snap of the finger. and then there is, as i said, still the issue about let's assume the best case that we have successful demos. we still need resources and c.m.s. to operationalize. so it's a good step, but we need to be realistic. we've got problems still to solve. >> mr. chairman, i have other questions, i know i've run out of time even without giving an opening statement. so if we could submit questions later, and get responses back. in your report you state about half of the imaging studies of reform the same day in the office visit, you state that this is a reason to re-evaluate the exception, and i assume you feel that is a low number, how does number 50% seem they were held by being able to quickly diagnose an issue by performing to study in the office. i would -- may want a patient to rest but then revisit it if the condition doesn't improve, would lead to imaging study done on a different day. if half are performed

bad guys get a pass and good guys like you get it in the chest. when violent crime explodes as a result of their own refusal to enforce the law, those same politicians attacked your second amendment right to protect yourself. that is morally wrong. that is destructive to society. it has got to stop now. ladies and gentlemen -- [applause] we have all seen politicians abuse the law before. what is different than what is so dangerous today is it is feeding what could grow into a firestorm of criminal violence more devastating than anything ever seen in this country, because every ingredient is already there. right now, and these are government figures i am going to talk about, we have over 20,000 criminal gangs with over 1 million members active throughout the united states. mexico's drug cartels are operating in at least 230 u.s. cities. at least 30 cities are so-called "sanctuary cities," where local government officials refuse to enforce the law on immigration. the gangs operate openly. one sanctuary city is albany, the capital of new york state.

they're getting listed together. miscellaneous list -- >> members on both sides have been invited to submit to that. not terribly controversial. i would think within a fairly short time span we could come up with a -- i guess, by the time -- the chairmen and i will attempt, knowing what the members have as a priority, to take the remaining small number of items that we did not fully agree on the miscellaneous list and try to work them out. after which we might qualified to be made the swap participants by the process we will be using. [laughter] but i am ready to be cleared if you are, senator. what remains is senate response on what we just send them. and in the miscellaneous title and our response on title 7. i think the covered bonds is in that miscellaneous business where we disagree. >> mr. chairman, the amendment, could we not dispose of that? >> the purpose harkin eminem? >> on the fixed income? >> yes, i thought that was accepted. it has been accepted. >> how about the student loan provision? >> that has been

they like getting together. we have lost the fun in politics, and so because i have noted that you have such a warm spirit, and charging you with restoring fun. [laughter] >> and politics. and gary bass, all journalists are for transparency and disclosure. so i salute you and your work. i also salute you for your work on behalf of social justice. but i also salute you for noting that transparency isn't te solution all by itself. we need to create a political climate in which people actually allow the facts to play a central role in their argument. we might at least commit to that. together. [applause] >> above all, i want to salute demos again for putting democracy at the heart of our national discussion. some people said that the problem of democracy is too much democracy, too much participation of those who supposedly don't know enough. i don't take that you. i stand with al smith, that most of the problems of democracy can be solved by more democracy, by more and more serious enagemen engagement, by expanded

i still say, lay off of them and get the well plugged. get the beaches cleaned up.e are not that -- we haven't lost that much oil to the beaches. so, you know, someplace in here, yes, i think they're going to survive. but if you look at the american assets they have, it is 700,000 barrels of oil a day and 2.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day. that's probably worth $150 billion. they have only spent $1.6 billion at this point on the problem. so, yeah, they have got, they have got a strong balance sheet. with very little debt. >> larry: would you invest in bp, would you buy bp stock? >> no. i wouldn't. i wouldn't. >> larry: all right. simply put then. is there even a worse case situation, do you see? a worse case scenario than your forecasting mid september? >> well then it could be mid december. could that happen? yes it could happen. if you look back at the well, it went 290 days and three relief wells. we have two relief wells going now. they're getting down, right on time. >> larry: what happens, what happens if a hurricane hits? >> oh, man, i don't want that. that

like hey, get up, go do yoor thing, get yours.ust lost track offwhat brought me here. >> abramoff couldn't have was not corrupt. were the need for money, the members of congress and their need for money is so huge that they don't have their guard up. >> this has all gone into a feeding frenzy with money. >> what do you expect me to do? >> i don't know what the solution is. i would have loved to have here's yyur money and here's your money. you don't have to raise any. thhs would end all of that if you had a different system. but right now, we don't. >> there's no place out there for greed or lies or compromise of human liberties. great principles don't get lost unless they come to light. they're all here. >> the price for a free society iithink is to be vigilant about our democracy. they were only able to be influenceddby jack abramoff and take advantage of the money he was offering because we let them. "mr. smith goes to washington." anything changed since that came out with jimmy stewart? >> the french have an expression. the mo

should get drug tested. [laughter] [applause] our problem is putting our people to work. we have many people want desperately to go back to work. they don't need to have further humiliation. >> as part of your plan to create jobs and maximize economic growth, you want to overhaul the department commerce. what would you do differently than secretary taylor and his staff are currently doing and what specific types of businesses and industries which you seek to attract? >> that is an important question for the immediate term of the governor. these decisions have to be made right from the start. you have to men the right person for the secretary of commerce. it cannot be just a friend of the governor. it must be someone with a professional experience of economic development. as important that the secretary be charged with recording industry, traveling the nation and the world along with the governor. we know that can work. they need a chief of staff and the department actually runs the day-to-day affairs of the

and if you're not going to do it, i'm going to get somebody in your job that will get it done, do it. and then get it for final signature to me, i'll be finished in the ninth hole on this golf course at such and such a time. get it to me before i start the 10th tee and he can jump out of the cart, sign that jones act suspension, get back and be on the tenth tee in time to not even be interrupt -- 10th tee in time to not even be interrupted from a round of golf. this could have been done within a few days, just like katrina hit on august 29, just think about this. as incompetent as this administration has repeatedly said the bush administration was, just think about if an incompetent administration as totally worthless and incompetent as the bush administration was could get the jones act suspended within three days of katrina hitting, just think what these guys could have done. since they're so much more competent and qualified, think of how much quicker they could have done it since it took the bush administration three days. mr. carter: if the gentleman would yield a moment. mr. goh

this is just a gesture that we will all chip in and get this cleaned up. host: let's go to phone calls. salt lake city, utah. caller: i wanted to ask you a question. i more or less of the situation this way. and i was wondering with the knowledge you have if you felt this was accurate. i see this as being something like this. there is the u.s. military, and then there is the people, some of the people in vietnam i see the situation as the people are saying look at this, and the u.s. is saying yes. the people are saying basically -- they are trying to show them this. the u.s. military is saying yes, this is yours and rolling it back. -- throwing it back. the people said because there is not enough for everyone. then they say only the supreme colden ninja warrior can grant as power. guest: i think that is probably overstating its. we had a very good dialogue group. we have the gates foundation that has helped a little bit. this is very scientific-based. i do not think we were getting into all sorts of unnecessary political battles. and i think we were just t

once they get people into their network and get into the fund raising circles that's the policy making access that they so much desire because it does end up points for them further down the road when they want certain people to testify before congress who may have links or people that they prefer to present certain points of view, favorable to russia. i mean this is all a part of an image-building process in the united states that has gone all around the country. even buying public relations companies working in congress and on the hill. that's been very well known. i mean about the extent of russian influence. >> brown: very well known? well what's the timing? what do you make of the timing here? you said it's a week after the visit by president and the two leaders getting together. it's a reset of the relationship. >> i think it's definitely a sign by the obama administration and president obama himself that dmitri, we can have a great relationship. we don't want to go back to the cold war. by the way i'm no pushover. you're doing things illegally in my country. he's basically putti

if i help you, it will change the curve, and you will get an a and i will get a b.n my estimation, proactive learning, group steady, supporting the idea of a explaining concepts, and technology helps the tissue can be more interactive in the process. i think the combination of technology, coupled with thinking differently about how people learn, understanding that are in different ways, and then taking into account the context of the family, can be extremely important in terms of high- performance. >> other comments on technology? >> on behalf of secretary duncan and president obama -- i am glad you are reminded me of that. in this country, the president has staked out a very clear goal for 2020 for us to return as that number one nation in terms of decrees that american citizens would holfrom mid-198's prosperity was connected to those americans who held those degrees. in 1983 through 1985, a couple of things happen that we did not notice very quickly. countries like canada, japan, korea began to slip by us. austria, finland, in the percentage of people who had tho

the rich are getting richer, in the middle class is getting wiped of.president obama's is someone who guest: i think both those points are true. the distribution of income in the country is getting more like a dumbbell every year, lots on the bottom and top, not much in the middle. president obama is aware of that and cares. it is a very hard problem to correct. i have a friend who recently ran for the senate against barbara boxer, and lost in the primary, who has written a whole book fear rising that basically the forces of the economics are changing to the extent that we cannot correct this economically, but there are other ways to change society to make it more equal. but having great public schools, for example, and great public parks. this can make us all more equal as cited enough i have mixed feelings about that. is an interesting idea. you're right, that it is a major problem. host: the next phone call from tennessee, on the republican line. caller: i am a first-time caller. mr. kinsley keeps talking about the distribution of wealth. i would lik

i'd get my fingerprints run, you would get your fingerprints run, and the fingerprints don't lie. >> deputy commissioner aguilar? >> i think it's important to bring a little bit of clarity to border security. border security is about illegal immigration. it's about narcotics. it's about weapons, illegal. it's about illegal funds. and, very importantly, it is about criminal organizations that are operating at our borders and between our borders. that's the first thing. we have done a lot and need to continue doing a lot, as the secretary is pushing into saying, with personnel, tactical infrastructure and technology. the one thing that i would add that i think all of us would appreciate is not only that balance of personal technology and infrastructure, but also the balance of how we approach the border and making sure that we mailed our investigative functions with our interdictive functions on intelligence basis. it is by melding those capabilities and those functions that we're going to bring the greatest force enhancement to this border. and then going back to one other issue that

when you get a good government, you can get a working government.have to vote on the record and we're looking to make that permanent law. it passed the house and we're pushing to push it in the senate. that is one of the hardest are those i have gone through but one of the most rewarding. i know that the people and see how the legislature's vote. workers' compensation, i was very involved. coastal insurance reform, when people on the close were losing their homes and giving up businesses, i was involved with that and i worked on tort reform which hurt small businesses. >> the wrong office five days from now and we wish you both the best of luck. -- the runoff is five days from now and we wish you the bows -- wish you both the best of luck. >> we want to let you -- let us know what you thought about the chances that you heard. much more coverage coming up. and the winner of the republican runoff will go against state center of vincent shaheen. that is coming up this tuesday, june 27. >> we have time to vote. exercise your right to vote. much more on

never get enough. this is what happens in the gulf coast. the oil companies never get enough. a starving dog knows more, to stop eating. but they are taking the money. this country is going downhill like a toboggan and nobody is going to stop it. the end of the roman empire but these riches and the year of the net. a lot of these women are not. host: let me show your viewers -- our viewers this column. she sees it not about gender but the rise of the rich. as the caller just said. this is a little bit about what gail collins just said. that is what gail collins says it is all about. we are asking you whether it is the year of the woman and whether it affects your voteefor a candidate. jacksonville, florida. john, democrats like betty caller: good morning -- john, democrat's line. caller: you got off on a tangent with the gentleman caller from pennsylvania about the rich. host: talking about whether having women on the ballot makes you react positively or negatively. make me reactsn't positively or negatively. i look to see who is backing her, who is backing him, -- if it is bi

they stand by and hopefully we can get the president to get on b.p.etween you guys and put some barges there temporarily to block the pass soss we can save the parishes, all these parishes, just block the five passes right now, these fishermen can tell you rb, we c continue to save the rest of the two million acres of oyster beds. we have $2 billion of seafood that comes out of this and a billion dollars of recreational fishing that generates the marinas to all the stores all the way across louisiana. but these guys, this woman here with the convenience store, if we lose the estuaries we are history. they will tell you that. we were born and raised, we made a living here. there is no reason why this shrimp boat should be tied up. we need to make sure we block the oil. and i'm asking you to push b.p. to tdo it. >> we are going to work on it. last week when i was talking to the mayor, he started choking up just talking about the fact that out of his own pocket he was having to provide some help and loans to his buddies to fisherm fishermen, folks in the

and get to the bottom of the truth.ure out what the truth is with, with you being unbiased and going to an interviewer that is unbiased that wants to find the truth. >> larry: and in some case that does happen, right? >> absolutely. and if it does happen then it needs to be addressed completely. >> larry: how did you emotionally handle this? your own daughter? >> well the emotions have been up and down. there have been thousand of tears. there have been research as i discussed earlier that helped me emotionally, as far as research and learning what to do. and i intend to go back to law school. >> larry: tonya testified in her own defense. let's hear a little of that. watch. >> do you think it is a conspiracy? >> actually i think it is kind of offensive to use that word. i think what has happened is more than a travesty. i think that the experts have explained how something this horrible can happen. but i think there is a lot of thing that have been done wrong. but i did not do anything to these children. >> you molest a
