one day the phone rang, and it was eli lilly and co. >> based in indianapolis? >> yes, and with one of the single biggest pieces of good fortune that came my way. i went to work over there for 11 years. >> back to politics in what year? >> the phone rang in december of 2000. it was an inquiry about coming to be part of the incoming bush administration, which i accepted. >> you mean the george bush administration? did they offer you a job as director of omb right there? >> not initially. the first call was about a different job, which i said thanks, but no thanks. i am productively occupied here, and you can get someone better for that. then they call back and i told my wife, now we have a problem. now they are calling about the one job they have that i would probably be interested in. that was omb. >> here is a piece of tape of you testifying on september 6, 2001. it is not very long. >> the president is the biggest spender, hands down, in this town. the administration, with its tax cuts, is the biggest spender hands down. that is money that is being spent, goin

and over the years, i have heard stories and so appreciative, we have a service in indianapolis of all fathers, and i hope we can keep that a national level. >> absolutely, i think this is important to emphasize. 23% of young people are growing up without fathers. now in the african-american community, it's 50% or maybe a little lower. so there is a real crisis going on in the african-american community on this issue. but it's a more pervasive issue. i went to an organization called year-up, that has young people getting trained after high school, most of them. on specific job-training skills and computer skills and how to conduct themselves in an office and write an e-mail, etc. and i said specifically to the young men, you can't use anything as an excuse not to be involved with your children. you know, cause kids they won't judge you based on whether you are wealthy or poor. they will judge you if you are abusive to their mother. they will judge you in terms of you not showing up when they need you. that's what makes a difference. and kids will respect their fathers if their fathers

host: indianapolis. independent caller. hello, there. caller: good morning. i was studying a doctorate in military history and i am dealing with academics in europe. when president bush was in office, they said that president bush was terrible because he would say -- he was a wild cowboy. eds now they say that obama is a groveling apologist. there are some people who are never going to be happy with this. other than style, what are the major differences between the current administration and the previous one? guest: in the foreign-policy i focus on, there is remarkable continuity between the last the destruction and this one on every issue except iraq -- the last administration and this one on every issue except iraq. the bush administration was moving toward a phased withdrawal, and that is where obama is now. there is a radical difference in style, and style does matter between these two. i think that if you're going to have a continuity in our foreign policy, there is no better face for america than president barack obama. on the other hand, i find our for

another night in indianapolis. they crashed with friends. they took most of their meals at roadside diners as my exhaustive research has revealed they were partialing to fruit plates and iced tea. bess seemed to enjoy cantaloupe. never before or ever since has a former president and first lady mingled so casually with their fellow citizens. it was a road trip unlike any other in american history. i've written a book about it. i happen to think it's a pretty good book. you can decide for yourselves. before i tell you more about the trip let me tell you a little bit about myself and how i came to know the story. in college i majored in folk-lore. yeah, you may be surprised to learn that folk-lore is not a lucrative profession. [laughter] >> so shortly after graduation, i began working in public radio, which is a kind of a welfare program for people with useless liberal arts degrees like me. [laughter] >> and this worked out pretty well. i worked at stations in seattle, st. louis, minnesota, and maine. in 2003 i went to los angeles to work for

on the indianapolis -- on the independent line. go ahead. caller: can i make a comment.i have been watching this about the closing of the auto dealers. i just can't -- i really -- it's hard to believe what i'm hearing. i know many people have watched them. it's pretty devastating. they are planning to close thousands of dealerships. as far as the iran situation, i don't know the political position of the candidate that ran against the current president. isn't it true in iran that the presidency is sort of a figure head or a dictatorship there? >> host: there's truth to that, sure. caller: i wonder if you are going to cover their positions? host: we'll have a full break down in our program tomorrow in the latter part. they will break down the results for what it means for iran and for the united states as well. you'll want to tune in for that are tomorrow. our guest -- or previous caller mentioned ahmadinejad and mousavi report right now that mr. ahmadinejad have won the election. several holding that result in dispute. please call in. host: arlington, virginia on the pho

doing a terrific job because of the back problems, and brian snyder, hs parents lived in indianapolis. just wanted to say hello to h. big oriole fans. santos who has come in, we saw him last year, he came up and played for the orioles. but what an opportunity four in a row -- just the second walk the mets have picked up. berken just walked one. first walk surrendered by bae. >> jim: santos, his first home run was a grand slam in floria on the 27th of april, and he gets to hit a two-run home run in boston. >> gary: two away here with a runner at first. and martinez will take it awa. 0-3 in the ballgame tonight. martinez had been bating in te number 2 spot. certainly jerry manuel looks like a gene just so far in this game. he moved murphy up -- go far in this game. he move murphy up. >> jim: he did it after he was 0-3. so he kind of one of those grind-out nights. >> gary: martinez waiting runr goes. ground ball towards second, robert is over, goes to first. good one, and a good play. good play by roberts to get te out. no run

>> there was an article in the indianapolis paper this spring. i knew there were sort of a code from the program, but there was an interesting article. it had been called the butler way. i thought that would be a big departure for the speech. >> here is some of what you said. where did that come from? >> it is just a conviction of mind. i may have overstated a little bit for effect. if one reads the whole speech, there were many qualifiers hear about the hazards of generalization. >> something move you to do this. >> i see a contrast between the values that have made america what it is, the values summed up in the butler way, and those that have too often dominated american life in what we think of as the baby boom era. i illustrated here, but i do not believe we have done as well as we could have. for instance, in the debt we are passing on to these young people. it will be a very difficult thing for them to manage. we could have shown more political maturity in the way we financed the entitlements we have committed ourselves to and that sort of

our next call is from indianapolis. you are on the republican line.aller: if we pass the cap and trade, do you believe that as nancy pelosi and president obama have said it will create all the jobs they say it will, or will we lose more jobs and hurt the economy? guest: i think it will hurt the economy because the chinese are not required to undertake the similar activities. we will not reduce global pollution. the jobs that are here will go to china. what we do here will go to china. some of the things in households would be better left to better energy conservation by reforming the automobile sector which this bill does not do. the bill seeks to achieve a lot of social goals. it allocates a way that is not economically optimal. it will impose a lot of inefficiencies on the economy. it will not be very helpful. it may be a good idea at some time but only if china implemented similar program. they create a new japan every two years and a new united states every five years. what is the sense of putting a straitjacket on the u.s. economy by reducing co2

he spoke at the seventh circuit's judiciary conference in indianapolis on may 18th. >> thank you. two speakers at lunch makes for a long program. and you want to hear from chief justice shepard, so i will be brief. the most significant change in the circuit during the last year is our decision to invite some district judges to sit with us after a hiatus of 15 years. we're doing this needs assistance. we can do our own work. and any way, asking active district judges to sit with the court of appeals doesn't increase the judiciary system's capacity, since time devoted to appeals is lost to the district court. the reason we're doing this is not a desire to ease an overload of work, but a desire to promote understanding and cleanallity. i've begun by inviting the more recent appointees to the district court so that they can get better acquainted with how the court of appeals works, how the appellate process works, with who the judges of the court of appeals are, with how they think. and at the same time i've urged judges of our court to hear some trials, to go and learn more about how

indianapolis, indiana would be a great example where private agencys are coming together to strength at any quality of summer programs there and we're working intensively in gilmore, fres know and oakland. and there are reasons that despite the economic downturn and the real crisis in terms of the fiscal environment in california right now, they are coming together as communities to be extend turns for learning and fun and outdoors and nutrition for kids, so we definitely have communities we can point so. we can point to. in fact in monica crowley county the superintendent there recently announced they are dedicating additional money they got from the recovery and reinvestment act to actually expand their summer learning programs, so we see some pockets of innovation, programs that are being offered to kids that are really encouraging and rewarding, but there just aren't enough. we need more superintendents, school boards, districts, community-based organizations that are going to work together to make sure the kids that deb on our line for democrats. >> go ahead. >> mr. fairchild i

indianapolis representative peter visclosky disclosed he had received subpoenas in connection with pma. you can read more on page 18 of "wall street journal." carmen is next for montana. on the issue of deficits, is it time to get serious? caller: i think so, steve. it is time to get serious until we have a lot of policies that bring us into deep debt. we have the policy to go and fight for freedom -- actually, going to fight for oil companies. if you go to the v.a. hospitals and you see these young women and men with half their heads gblown off, it gives me flashback and i will not go back any more. we will ask ourselves, if we are fighting for freedom, who are we fighting for? when the spoils are divvied up, it looks like we just secured over 300 years for the oil companies. these people are mega rich already, and you go to the v.a. hospitals and see the horror there, what is happening to the whole country, everything is in shambles. we have corrected -- we have collected make up profits already. but the worst thing is, americans keep swallowing the fact that we have to pay for these

it's very interesting on this trip, she gave an interview when she was in indianapolis on this' trip,ich was extremely rare. i remember when she was in the white house, you know, eleanor roosevelt had press conferences so when harry became president they said is police say truman going to have press conferences and i think his answer was, i need to get back to you, which is smart. he wasn't going to answer for bess. they had to run this by bess first. she didn't want to have press conferences. she finally submitted to written questions and all the answers were yes or no. [laughter] >> she just didn't -- she just didn't take -- just didn't take to the -- you know, being in public the way harry did. so, yeah, but she loved her hats. >> when president truman left office, he was not the most popular of presidents. my question is, on this trip did he run into any animosity or any people shaking fists or anything of that nature? >> honestly i did not find -- i can't believe it didn't happen but i didn't find a recorded incident of that. and you're absolutely right. his approval rating was a

hiring pilots and a very low wage -- i don't know how you live on that salary and juno year at indianapolis people are trying to build their hours to move out of the regional system. if that is the case, that is very worrisome. now, mr. cohen, you represent these five folks in prove to me is wrong. the burden is on the airlines to prove the safety of our travel. and thank you mr. chairman. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. mr. maurer, thank you very much for your testimony and as i said in my opening, you know, i have experienced tragedy in my family in a plane crash with my father but even two more in a statement that the plane was never recovered. and it took a tragedy back then to change the rules of requiring locator beacons in planes because of that incident. and it was the largest air recovery attend to this country's history. and so it seems so is when we deal with air traffic safety is always a tragedy that moves us to the next day so i appreciate your being here. i am very very sympathetic from personal reasons, but as i was listening to the testimony, mr. cohen, i feel like yo

had a tough time at indianapolis that next year starting. actually 2005, had a tough time in 2006 starting. put him in the bullpen and he's been solid ever since. >> he's been a guy that visited dr. james andrews in birmingham, alabama, and obviously successful elbow surgery for heim they changed him from a starter to a reliever. as start, he probably had three real solid pitches. if he's going to be ranked the number one prospect in that organization and maybe he lost one of those pitches with surgery. not sure. i've seen him just pitch against us and then on a video when he was throwing just the fastball and a cutter. so, two-pitch pitchers, usually that puts them in the bullpen. he does throw a lost strikes. he has a lot of experience. threw over 500 minor league innings and 85 appearance combining last year and this year. actually finished 16 games last year for the pirates. this year, he finished eight, he has one save and in 39 innings that he's pitched, only given up 22 hits. it tells you he misses bats. >> if you watch this show at a

. >> in 2004, ochocinco and palmer drove four hours round trip together to indianapolis to watch peytonng and marvin harrison play in person. ochocinco says it led to his best season. palmer has also acknowledged the cam rodry built during that trim, but he now has five-month-old twins at home and says there won't be any houseguests. in cincinnati, bob holtzman, espn. >> well, favre spent his wednesday working out at oak grove high school in mississippi. favre has no intentions of playing for the warriors we don't think. instead he's got his eyes on minnesota and wednesday vikings' owner said if favre wants to be the team's quarterback, the job is his. >> we will do the most we can to get the players we need to be a better team with. and if that means brett favre or if it means anybody else in the future, we're going to go out and do that. when somebody has that passion for football as strong as he has it and the willingness to really come back, you know, you have to really look at that and see how it can improve your team. so right now it's all up to brett favre to determine what his f
