roberts has got a hit and scored. jones has been on base three times. he has scored tice. two for four, he has scored two runs in the ball game, so top of the order has been there in this one. >> which is usually the case for the orioles. that one for 16, the only hit that thai got was huff. >> gary: buried in the territory by thompson, and a 1- 0 count. thompson has been working behind, jepsen worked behind, and santana, the startedder, spent at bats working behind the oriole hitters. that has been a problem for the three pitchers who have been on the mound for the angels in this ball game. 10 hits now for the orioles. here is the delivery to roberts, and that's going to miss. melvin mora is at third, wieters is on at first. and roberts trying to bring at least one of them home here with two down. and it matters, in light of the two runs picked the last half inning by the angels. robbers will take the pitch. that is in there for a strike. 2-1 for thompson. roberts ready and the 2-1 delivery. no runs, a couple of hits, two are left on base. orioles up 6-3. 7th inning stret

has prevented -- has presented his defense. he has admitted that things happened in sierra leone, murder, rape, the use of child soldiers, but he insists he plays no part. we have been watching the trial unfolds. >> when charles taylor stood to swear the kirk -- where the oath, it marked the first time a former african head of state had been called to answer charges of crimes against manatee. charles taylor has spent many months in the past two years while the trial has been underway sitting impassively, listening to the catalog of atrocities committed in sierra leone. he repeatedly denied any involvement. >> i and a father of 14 children. grandchildren, with love of humanity and i have fought all my life to do what i thought was right in the interests of justice and fair play. i resent that characterization of me. it is false, it is malicious. and i stopped there. >> four judges appointed by the government of sierra leone and the un are hearing the case. the central charge by the prosecution is that charles taylor orchestrated

he has done exactly the opposite. and, there was a recent survey conducted by the iranian parliament this week showed 70% of iranians would not vote for him. so he is not a pop figure. that doesn't mean he won't become president because elections in iran are so structured and guardian council controls them and khomeni has a say of course. iran also faces other limitations in region. it is shia state, not sunni. it is per shun, not arab. i have a very hard time seeing arab countries following a hegemonic persian power. it is very different culture. system of government has no counterpart, none, in the sunni or shia world. the only arab party that has adopted iranian model to a certain degree is hezbollah. that is about it. like i said it has a very weak military. although it is improving but it is light years behind the united states in military capability and it faces many internal challenges. it face as lot of significance from women's rights groups, ethnic minorities and bazaris, traditional merchant class in iran.

what he has said has been the standard for 220 years. it correctly describes the proper role for a judge. unfortunately, a very important person has decided it is time for a change. time for a new kind of judge. what will apply a different standard of judging, including employment of his or her empathy for one of the parties to the dispute. that person is president obama. the question before us is whether his first nominee to the supreme court follows his new model of judging for the traditional model articulated by the judge. president obama in opposing the nomination of cheese -- chief justice roberts said "volunteer is to legal precedence will dispose of 95% of the cases that come before a court, what matters on the supreme court are those 5% of the cases that are truly difficult. a language of the statute will not be perfectly clear, legal process alone will not lead you to a decision." how does president obama proposed judges deal with these are cases? does he want them to use judicial precedent in other accepted tools of interpreta

in addition, to the amount that has already been paid out, another $120 billion in spending has been obligated by the federal government and so is calling for contracting for projects and beginning to work its way into the economy. as of may, tax cuts, fiscal support for state and local governments and family assistance programs in the recovery act have boosted disposable income by nearly 2%. in addition to providing fiscal stimulus, the administration also set to work on adistressing the origins -- addressing the origins of this crisis, a financial system in severe distress. there were many from across the political spectrum who proposed precipitous action to universalized guarantees or nationalized major financial institutions. there was an even larger group who believed the policy needed to start from the premise that the financial system as a whole was substantially insolvent. even alan greenspan asserted that it might be necessary to temporarily nationalize some banks in order to facilitate a swift and orderly restructuring. after considering all the options, secretary geithner

and as she has traveled throughout asia this week, secretary of state hillary clinton has pressed the point. the topic has been front and center at the gathering of 27 countries attending the asean regional conference in thailand. but north korea hasn't much appreciated what it's been hearing. in fact, an even nastier war of words has broken out between the two countries. that war of words between north korea and the united states over the nuclear impasse is our lead focus tonight. in the latest twist in the deteriorating relationship between the u.s. and north korea, north korea has announced it's pulling out of negotiations to end its nuclear program. >> translator: until america's deep-seated anti-north korea attitude ends, all of these problems will continue, and because of that, the six-party talks are also over. >> speaking with reporters at the conclusion of this week's asian regional conference in thailand, the north korean delegate said strong-arming by the united states was to blame. >> translator: we are not against negotiations. we have never been against talking. but how

you talk about the fact that pakistan has the capacity, you said the government and the military has the capacity to deal with insurgency. brother obviously gaps in the equipment. and could you talk a bit about what pakistan needs and what is the prospect of getting the tools are that it needed from the united states? and if not from the united states, from some other sources. what are the possibilities? >> yes. the operations have been very hard on aviation, particularly helicopters. we did not and do not have a large fleet of helicopters which can operate in those areas. and we have had to diverged aviation of other areas that we needed like operations of high-altitude and so on. also, with some of the helicopters, i won't mention the name or make, we have problem of the operation, certain time, conditions in that particular area. so the wrist, that's one feel we need support from the u.s. and i think there's agreement between the u.s. and pakistan that the mic of a team has performed particularly well and we should perhaps be in the market for that. helicopter. we haven't already.

or has not tried to play. so the failure of these two institutions was the direct cause of street confrontation and violence, which as far as i'm concerned is politics by other means but the iranian election is still continuing and will continue as far as i can tell for a while. in the process, as robin pointed out, the damage has been done to the legitimacy will either have to be repaired in serious ways or perhaps face these institutions will have to face serious consequences. and with results for the future structure of power. either elections will become totally meaningless in iran, for instance, or the way they are conducted have to be repaired in serious ways. in short, such cosmetic and in some ways amusing efforts, for example, today by the guardian council to open and read the ballots of 10% of poll boxes on national television when no one knows where those boxes have been for the past two weeks are really silly exercises in trying to repair the damage to the legitimacy of the system but the fact that

now, arnold klein has said he has not been made aware he was on any list and he has not been questioned. dr. klein was a guest on larry king tonight. he told larry that the strongest drug he ever gave michael jackson was demerol. but here's what he had to say when larry asked him about drugs and whether or not he's been questioned by authorities. >> the pills i give him in the last year wouldn't do anything to him. >> larry: there are at least five doctors reportedly now under investigation. have you been contacted by any authorities? >> the only thing i've done is i've turned my records a long time ago to the medical examiner. i've not been contacted by the medical examiner -- >> nothing with regard to this? >> no. >> and, of course, his lawyer told us just a couple of days ago that his client has not been approached by anybody and has not been questioned and in fact, anderson, dr. arnold klein may not know he's on a list. here's something else that's important. this source of ours told us if any doctor refuses to be questioned or refuses to open up his records that, investigators can

he has not entered a plea yet. they have this preliminary hearing where the prosecution has to lay out the evidence that it believes proves its case. the judge will decide if there is a case at a full trial, if and when he decides that, there will be a brief arraignment hearing. at that point, he would have to enter a plea. we expect that to happen later this afternoon. shepard: jonathan, thank you. now to an issue that literally affects everybody in the nation, health care. details can get very dry, but it is very important. president obama has been pushing lawmakers for weeks to push a health care reform bill. the plan the president supports is quite controversial and very expensive, possibly more than $1 trillion. there is no real plan just yet. the plan has not been hammered out. what we would get in return is universal health coverage for everybody. today, the president continues to make the case for the senior citizens' interest group aarp. >> i am absolutely positive that we can make the health care system w

i think he has to move quickly. i think he has to strike while the iron is hot. he has got all of the votes and continue to have all of the votes for at least the mid-term election but should move sooner than later. >> i agree with you on some point the two converge. this is president obama in whom we have confidence. he is smart and likeable and making tough decisions and we, the american public, understand he is approaching this in our best interests. therefore i think he has a deeper reservoir of goodwill than the numbers on the specific issues would suggest. i would add the one issue wasn't listed in this poll or not in the numbers he put up on the screen is jobs. if the job numbers continue to get worse and i think they will, and most economists think they will i think that is the burr under the saddle the next six months. >> you don't think the president will get a pass from that? you don't think the american people will say it's horrendous, i'm not happy being out of work or working part-time? >> i think this is the stimulus which i thought was not a well-

he has lots of documents. all the bread crumbs go right to the white house, it is not hard to figure out. the firings of the u.s. attorney's politicizing the one branch of the administration that should be as free of politics as possible. then we are trying to get hate crimes through -- ovoid, someone wanted to add the death penalty to the hate crimes act in the senate. thanks, guys. nothing like cooperation with the other body. the subjects that has commanded so much of my time is a universal health care bill. i started with this so long ago, not as the leader of it but when hillary clinton called us into the white house. we had 100 and. -- we had 100 then. this was the most popular bill in the congress and yet there is this effort to lock it in the juror, let's talk about it as little as possible. the one that most americans have been told to want. this reaches everyone. a universal health care bill from the moment you are born until the time you go to heaven is what we need in this country. most industrial

he has been spending a lot of it.f he weren't accelerating the kiss ma and aura, it would happen anyway when he entered into the presidency because he has to do real stuff. what's defeating him is reality over his rhetoric. three things -- stimulus, cap and trade and healthcare. stimulus, he blew a hole in the budget that is a trillion dollars wide. there is nothing to show for it. it created a panic in the country and in the congress about deficits, so as a result, when he comes along with healthcare, there's an obsession, i think a correct obsession with revenue neutrality, how much is it going to cost and what is it going to do? and there's no way to make the numbers work on healthcare. on cap and trade, he's got a monstrosity on his hands. he presents a bill in which you want to auction off pollution rights. you can argue it's a good or bad idea, and create a market. instead, his people in congress give away almost 90% of the permits as patronage and political favors, so he's got a disaster on his hands as a resul

this has been a good week. a number of republican senators came forward, met with senator harry reid. met with senator baucus. >> i want to ask senator kyl about that, but first the tax increase? >> absolutely no. we're in a recession. we know that 75% or 80% of the jobs created in the country are created by small business. at least 55% of the income that would be generated by this surtax directly hits the entrepreneurs who run the small business. it would be a job-killer, exactly the wrong thing to do at anytime, but especially in the heart of a recession. >> senator charles grassley, a ranking member the on finance committee, and senator barkus and others who meet with harry reid. i've heard that you had tough conversations with senator grassley, and you warned him away of giving too much. is that true? >> no, i haven't warned him ever anything. but it is true that we've had discussions in our republican congress that senators hatch and grassley and emsley and olympia snowe who met with that group i think sen

there is one thing she has that nobody else has, and that is this magnetic charismatic personality. she is exciting. no one else is. bret: juan, what about the facebook posting? >> it just invites derision. i don't want to join in or play into her argument that the media inside the beltway are beating up on her. it is just that it is so puzzling t was puzzling friday when it was announced. everyone has been puzzled over the weekend. today people around washington are saying the prospect of obama versus palin in 2012 after she quits in the middle of her term as governor, that is no fight. that is a rout to the democrats. even her fans are puzzled. where is the base that is going to respond positively to this? you could say evangelicals, whites, republican males? men love sarah palin more than women. you have to do something with the independents, and this move this weekend, given that a large number of independents are females, hasn't helped her. bret: charles, what about carl cameron's reporting that she will be more present on t.v. shows, speaking out about various issues that aisl

this has clearly not happened. so in what respect does helen characterize justice kennedy as libertarian? the answer can be found in her intriguing first chapter about libertarianism itself. i commend this chapter to those of you who may not be interested enough in justice kennedy's jurisprudence to read the entire book. as a libertarian who did not grow up in the american libertarian movement, helen hovers an analysis of libertarianism that is detached from preconceptions held by many american libertarians. in this -- in a section in which she -- a subsection in which she entitles deconstructing libertarianism principles, it's colon, principles, helen identifies the core of libertarianism as four principles. first, individual self-ownership or self-sovereignty. second, bounded liberty as opposed to license. third, limited government as opposed to anarchy, and fourth, the harm principle. of course, many american libertarians such as myself believe that is true harm principle is too general to provide guidance and f

do you know of anything she has booked, so much has been made about how much she can make.ix days, anything that's been confirmed? >> not that i'm aware of. there is still the rumor mill that she is going to come into your business or our business and maybe go on cable tv as a guest analyst to make money. she could give speeches again. that would be something that would require her to be not the governor of alaska because if she wants to come to des moines, iowa, that takes almost a day. the calendar will fill up quickly. she does not however, had not had the kind of staff that would allow her to keep a good political calendar. she's done a pretty poor job of being staff. she hasn't had good people advising her on which invitations to accept, which to pass over. the basic political work of just being a politician who's got a constituency bigger than one congressman. she's the governor, but has as many constituents as one house member. >> david, thank you. and tamron, i've got to read this. she writes todd and i are packing juno house. looking at piper's kindergarten. she en

there has been a change. i think since the assassination of benazir bhutto, and if you remember six or seven weeks ago, the headlines across the world and across the pakistani press, the taliban 70 kilometers from islamabad. that was a pivotal moment because you could feel the middle classes in pakistan asking, "are we safe?" what you've seen is unity across the political spectrum and critically unity between politicians and the military in pursuing a very difficult campaign in the swat valley. remember, the pakistani military lost 2,000 of its own soldiers in the frontier corp in the last 18 months or so. you've seen unity and a sigh of relief from large parts of pakistani society suggesting leaders will get a grip. pakistan is -- you asked at the beginning of your question, whether britain's or america's fault, we haven't run pakistan for 60 years now. >> you drew the boundary between pakistan and india which caused -- >> we did. we have to recognize our own history. 61 years, india is the world's largest a

scuturo has been great and aaron hill has been great. rowland has been phenomenal.ts to be the rookie pitcher of the year. he was outstanding against the phillies and today against tampa bay. i think in the end that all of that young pitching they had that were so good early, i think teams will get a book on them. they will be incontsiftent. i don't know if vernon wells can be the mvp 2nd half player that he has been in the past. >> romero fabulous today. shutout the tampa bay rays. that rookie going strong for them. you are not buying the rays or the blue jays. that leaves the yankees and the red sox. heading into the all-star break? >> i think the red sox. they are a more versatile team. they have guys they can mix and match. youklis can move to 3rd base. he is a gold glove defender which makes him special. jd drew is the ski for the team. he has to be a guy with david ortiz struggling, they have to pick up with lowell being out. >> more from john kruk tonight on "baseball tonight". thanks for joining us. >> coming up here, roger will prove who the true tennis gia

matter what their opinion has been. that is the fair, impartial judgment that the american people expect. that is the kind of judge that judge sotomayor has been. that is what the american people deserve. judge sotomayor has been nominated to replace justice souter. justice souter served the nation distinctly for nearly two decades with a commitment to justice, the understands -- the understanding how we -- how the decisions affected people in their daily lives. he served in the matter of some justice sandra day o'connor. all have heard senators make comments. equal justice under law. judge sothos nomination keeps faith with those words. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i believe he set up some rules for this hearing. i have enjoyed working with you on this project. i hope this will be the best during this committee has ever had. why not? by joining chairman leahy and judge sotomayor in welcoming you here today. i know your family is proud, and rightly so. it is a pleasure to have them here today. i expect this hearing and r

the governor has been briefed and has ordered a thorough review of the case. >> what are we as parents supposed to do? kids can't walk the street. she was just a little girl. and if we can't take care of our babies now, what's going to happen to our future? >> reporter: raven's aunt is devastated. she said her niece is a typical little girl. >> we called her little mama. she liked little kids. she was always picking them up and playing with them. >> reporter: tonight, city leaders, including the mayor, will march through this neighborhood, to take a visible stand against violence. >> i walked that neighborhood. i saw a lot of disparity. i saw a whole host of issues. and believe me, it just reiterates the importance of engaging people who live in communities to be more involved. >> just keep praying. and don't just pray for raven. pray for all of our kids if they need it. >> reporter: the state's attorney office has sharply crittized the juvenile-- criticized the juvenile justice system. saying it is archaic. >> okay, mike. thank you. the teenager remains behind bars tonight on no bail

how has that happened? >> part of what they have done is they have really looked at the united states and our market and figured out a lot of things. part of it is quality. we want cutting-edge design. we want safety and a good point with a great warranty. you look at a company like kia and they have the soul and the f forte, you can see the change in the cars and quality. >> that happened with the hyundai line as well? >> they do is smart, during the recession, they came one the ten-year 100,000 mile warranty they always had but included the buy back offer in response to the recession, that has been huge. consumers concerned about will i have a job down the road? what will be the situation in they think if i'm working for kia or hyundai, i will buy the cars. may have worked for gm before but now i will help those that help me. >> wasn't that long ago, lauren, that hyundai was the punchline of a joke. it seemed like another thing that happened is the company truly invested in the idea of saying let's make a

this has to get done. the broader point, if somebody told you that there is a plan out there that is guaranteed to double your health care cost of the next 10 years, that is guaranteed to result in more americans losing their health care, and that is by far the biggest contributor to our federal deficit, i think most people would be opposed to that. that is the status quo. that is what we have right now. if we do not change, we cannot expect a different result. that is why i think this is so important, not only for those families out there who are struggling and to need some protection from abuses in the insurance industry or protection from skyrocketing costs, but it is also important for our economy. it is important for families, wages, and incomes. when premiums are going up and the costs are going up, that his money that could be going into people's wages and incomes. over the last decade, we basically some middle-class families, their incomes and wages flat line. part of the reason is because health-c

president obama has been clear about this to mr. brown in britain has been clear about this.it's got to be military plus politics, plus economic and social development. that be isn't a comprehensive approach and it has to be done in pack tan as well as afghanistan. because we should know, we were withdrawing this border two years ago. and it's a very forous border. and the bad land stretch across the afghan-pack tan border. we need a more stable pack tab to get a more stable afghanistan. that's why i applaud what president obama's officials are doing in terms of rebalancing the relationship. >> ifill: david miliband, thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> lehrer: and finally tonight, the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. and to ray suarez. >> suarez: those dangers might seem obvious to most. but a series of studies and recent articles in the "new york times" suggest the risks associated with calling or texting while driving are significantly higher than many people realize. among the findings: drivers making a phone call were four times as likely to c

no one has claimed responsibility yet, but suspicion has fallen on the jemaah islamiyah.ali bombing in 2002. 200 plus people died in that. a marriott bombing and australian bombing back then and a string of bombings. j.i. has splintered but it still seems to be dangerous. part of its hallmark were high profile suicide attacks. very much like what we've seen today. one american official described today's bombings as thech vech in your as very much in your face and that has been a style of j.i. although they've taken knocks over recent years, suspicion will fall on them. >> ian, any concern that there could be another short-term bombing there in jakarta or elsewhere in indonesia. >> i think people will be on high alert. this is the first bombing we've seen of this scale in four years. indonesia really felt it had put this kind of thing behind it. between a very effective campaign, a crackdown against militants jihadi extremists here. they've been praised by the u.s. for their efforts and there was really a feeling here that they had turned that corner, that they put this so

it has two things.ne is that the largest institutions that might be too big to fail face much tougher scrutiny, higher capital, greater liquidity, more robust risk management systems so that they won't fail and secondly, that there be a resolution authority and a resolution authority that would enable the government to resolve these in an orderly way that might impose costs on the creditors but in an orderly way outside of bankruptcy. >> the gentleman's time has expired. the chair notes that some members may have additional questions for this witness, which they may wish to submit in writing. without objection the hearing record will remain open for 30 days for members to submit written questions to this witness. and to place their responses in the record. we thank vice chairman kohn for his patience and for his responses and we will excuse this witness and call up the second panel. >> thank you.

one, he has strong medicine against it. second, he has a long-term time horizon. he is not going to be bounced around by what happens today on export numbers, which were good or what happens on consumer confidence, which was bad. and then keep adjusting. so i think that, yes, the economy is very, very important. probably number one to the american people, but the president has their confidence. he is doing a good job, and it's going to work well. >> i asked you if you misread this. you are the senator from new york. you have your finger on the pulse of the financial center of this country. this is a list of economists and others who said that unemployment would be worse than the administration anticipated. do you agree that everyone got it wrong, or did the white house get it wrong? >> well, bottom line is i think the estimates were all over the place, and everyone said it's very hard to chart this out, because, again, we were in unchartered waters. >> there were certainly people who said unemployment would get worse, you need a much bigger stimulus, they have got

he has accumulated more debt than any president who has served before him, but he says it has already created or saved a new jobs and generate billions in tax relief. all this has done is losing 3.5 million jobs since the beginning of the year. where are these saved jobs? >> the rhetoric has come out of the administration to make them appear which is where they -- i do not understand how you do that calculation. the reality of it is, as you said, we have lost over 3 million jobs. unemployment is setting at almost -- sitting at almost 10%. there is the health-care economy of our country. there is no clear direction and, tonight, no clear explanation about what this means to my family, to moms and dads out there across the country. sean: it is interesting you say that, because the president brought that out. people are wondering "how does this benefit me?" why did it reminded of jfk saying, "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country"? the antithesis. did that strike you as odd? >> i agree. there is a sense of, you know, jfk was talking about people sa
