plants, weatherizing 1,000 low-income homes per year in helping businesses like phos manufacturing in hampton lower their costs by becoming more energy efficient. we must continue to grow the businesses and the judge said the future right here in new hampshire. we must keep new hampshire taxes among the lowest in the nation. we should continue-- [applause] [applause] we should continue to ensure state government uses every dollar as efficiently as possible. we must ensure that we have a skilled and trained workforce and we must help entrepreneurs in new businesses compete and succeed. clean energy holds great potential for bringing new jobs to our state. companies like kiki solar in knerr are already leaders in their field. other new hampshire businesses are developing new products with tremendous potential. warner power has created new transformers with the potential to save large amounts of energy. john lynch power burners in goffstown invented a way to retrofit boilers to make them more efficient, saving people 30 to 50% on their oil bills. across our state, inventors are creating technolo

i think that was huge to him to the get to know lionel hampton and earl hines and woody herman and langstonughes, those kind of people gave him a sense of self. >> host: uh-huh. and that sense of self gave him a sense of something that far too few boxers historically have had, and that's a desire for lack of a better term, to not be screwed by the system. >> guest: right. right. >> host: what was that the informed by, and how successful was he in the mobbed-up red light district of boxing of carving out space for himself where he was i don't want to say not exploited bought that doesn't really not exist in boxing, but at least less than a typical fighter with his gifts? >> guest: you know, it was very difficult for robson when -- robinson when he turned pro. he was feared because of his left hook and, you know, he was just absolutely feared. he had been a new york golden gloves champion, and his reputation had grown. east coast all the way out to the west coast can. and yet if you were a fighter in the early '40s, all throughout the '40s, many of the boxing organizations had shadowy figures

involved in mayor lindsey's architect group at the timeand no contractor would build the house in east hampton. no one ever saw curved forms or raw cedarwood, and i told my parents that i would like to build it, that i thought it was essential. >> i took my mother's battery radio, turned it into a p.a. system -- this is in the 1920's -- and i sang through a telephone. and the harmonica and the voice and the jokes and everything were fine, but the guitar, they couldn't hear. so the carhop said "if you could only get the guitar louder," so i lifted my dad's radio out of the garage and i hooked it up to the guitar, which i had bought, by the way, at sears and roebuck, 4.95, so i took a phone grav pickup, jabbed a needle in the -- so i took a phonograph pickup, jabbed a needle in the guitar, i was unhappy because of the feedback and it started to holler -- if you got too loud with this acoustical instrument so i filled it with plaster of paris, rags, everything i could, and i thought there's got to be a better solution to this thing, and i worked it out until it was either a piece of railroad trac

i think more jobs in the hampton roads area could reduce our dependency on foreign oil, and we would bringing revenue to the treasury of virginia, which right now is facing a severe deficit. to answer your question, i think character and personality are important components, but the agenda and policy that people put forward, -- how will the voting for this candidate improve my quality of life? i would also say his demeanor -- you can see him being the governor of virginia. in fact, i look forward to that exact thing happening this saturday. host: our guests spend 18 months as the counselor to president bush. we have a question in the back. by the way, what was that like, working with president bush at the end of his presidency? guest: it was incredible. the surge was in effect, we were dealing with the petraeus- crocker hearings. we went through the financial crisis. we had some pretty serious battles with a democratic congress. i came in in june 2007. then, of course, we had one of the most thoughtful and organized transitions of power in our nation's history. it was exciting and in

host: north hampton, massachusetts, jack, on the democratic line.you going to vote for martha coakley this morning? caller: yes, i am. i think every good democrat needs to get behind her and don't allow massachusetts to have a republican representative. in a ted kennedy seat. that's a travesty. host: why do you think that martha coakley lost the wide lead that she had coming into this race? caller: honestly this weekend i was pretty much all around the state and it just seemed like all you heard on the -- especially the radio, was nothing but scott brown ads. but scott brown adds. everything was him all weekend. and i think what helped it, too, was that we have -- three weeks ago she had a 40% side lead. so, nobody ever expected to say, i don't think, to ever go republican. i don't think nobody really in massachusetts thought that scott brown had a chance. but i would like to say to the people of massachusetts, we put scott brown in and definitely you are telling people that we are giving away a woman's right to choose. everybody remember this in ma

we cannot evacuate if a sizable hurricane is threatening hampton roads. projects built with public and private agreement, but we have failed to invest or have upkeep or made beds with the road system of this size. the only significant accomplishment that virginia can claim in terms of road funding is that we eagerly accepted infrastructure money from the federally government package. i was happy to help the president who cares about the infrastructure needs of the state, but those dollars will be gone in 2011, and we must have more dedicated revenue for transportation needs. i submit that the largest obstacles to solving the transportation needs is the philosophy that it is always wrong to raise taxes. thank goodness that previous state leaders did not hold that view, because if they had, we would have no community college system, dirty rivers, and a lackluster public education system and fewer roads. virginia has a favorable tax code -- tax burden, and we must keep it that way. but no nation can maintain their economic edge with a declining infrastructur

i visited the directors and staff, desk to desk, in clom columbia, hampton, richland and buford. i want to thank the energetic, optimistic and talented employees and commissioners of the employment security commission for their dedication to helping put people back to work. another economic development is being announced for south carolina today. the correctional facility is adding 50 more jobs with the biomass contract. we welcome the recent economic commitments to our state from four-star industries, boeing, d.h.l., dixie norco, and now esto correctional facility. the combination of low taxes, worker training, right to work protections and less regulatory red tape is a sound recipe to attract business. this commonsense approach should be applied at the government level. in conclusion, god place our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terror. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the ge

but we still have too much congestion in northern virginia in hampton roads, too many substandard bridgesmmunities with insufficient transportation to attract and generate new jobs. our aging infrastructure cannot continue to meet the needs of virginians. we do not have sufficient evacuation capacity should hurricane threaten rudd's. although we have made public and private agreements, we have failed to invest or create a road system that we should have for our size. the only significant problem we can claim is this -- we accepted infrastructure money from the federal recovery package. i do admit to pride in helping a president who cares about the infrastructure needs of the states. but the dollar's run-up in 2011, in virginia must have more dedicated revenue. i humbly submit that the largest obstacle to solving our transportation needs is a philosophy espoused by some. thank goodness previous state leaders did not hold that the. if they did not, we would not have community colleges. we would have 30 reverse. we would have a lackluster public education system and fewer roads. virginia is
