san diego and indianapolis get the byes, of course, so let's bring in tony dungy. how do you see it, tony? >> well, bob, i think it's going to be an excellent game. really because of the injury to wes welker, i think baltimore has a shot in this game. they can run the football, which is new england's weakness. baltimore will have to defend randy moss. and that makes it a little bit easier. i think it's going to be a great game. baltimore had a chance in the regular season, they kind of self-destructed, so i think it's going to be baltimore with a great shot, but new england does have tom brady. >> as we said earlier, you made half the point i was about to reiterate. they of course have tom brady. even though he's beaten up a bit, he will play. and bill belichick can game plan for a single game. i don't know if the patriots could make it through to the super bowl, but in a given game, not just this one at home, but if they manage to win it, in a given game, i don't think anybody looks forward to facing them. >> no, new england is a great football team and they've go

this conclusion left something to be desired -- the indianapolis colts decision to forgo a chance for history in preparation for the playoffs has left the story is disappointed and disgruntled. nfl scheduling made three of the four playoff games and to remake his one week after the season finale for these kids at an average spread of points where teams slept through their games. nfl football is clearly a great product and marketing machine that continues to attract record your shipping interests. like all great product, there is room for improvement for the nfl should entice these players to play every day with maximum effort. perhaps the nfl should make the last week of this season confidence games to avoid the possibility of a rematch. the playoff alarm clock starts when the game is over. let's hope the new england alarm is still set.

for next is a call from indianapolis. james, democrat line. caller: there is still a little work to do. he is improving. it is hard to turn around economy that was in the shape it was when he took office, to improve it within one year. when ronald reagan came to office he had a bad unemployment rate in 1983. it did not turn around until 1987. people who think obama can turn around the country in one year are really delusional. it is a shame you have no support from the republican side. all they seem to say is let's just wait for the midterm elections. that is all they care about. it is a shame. you cannot turn the economy in this ship around in just one year. it will take time. host: let's hear from michael, a republican, from arlington. you just heard criticism on republicans who are all about no. caller: unfortunately, i agree with the caller to a certain degree. i'm a little discipline within my own party. i don't agree with everything this president says, and his method for resolving some problems, but i think there should be a little more

a man from indianapolis -- he is not working. this is very difficult. this is the one thing that they need to concentrate on. and i agree with the previous caller. the person who said that war is very expensive. they have the things that had nothing to do with 9/11, and as we have created the kind of feeling that we are just, we are attacking people when we want to, i think that this has caused the terrorists to be angry with us and we had to know that this was coming. we would just have to expect this. host: there is a headline about bombing reports that are trickling in. they said that the agencies are splintered, and the top intelligence officers said on thursday that they will command the people who did their jobs well and hold accountable the people who did not. obama began assessing these failures -- hartford, tennessee. you are up right now. john on the independent line. caller: happy new year. host: some people were calling about keeping their jobs in manufacturing over here. i know that they have the money to build a plant, and we will stop giv

. >> host: angela is on the line for democrats from indianapolis.welcome to the program. >> caller: hello. >> host: can you turn your sound down pleased. >> caller: yes. >> host: we will hear you much better. >> caller: just a moment. >> host: indianapolis on the line. >> caller: yes. hello. >> host: color, we need you to turn the sound down please. it is very hard to hear. >> caller: okay. how about now? >> host: great. go ahead. >> caller: my question is on the economy. i want to say -- i am sorry. could you repeat that. >> host: you are on the air. we are just listening. >> caller: my question is, with the, what is going on as far as the economy with the american people? i am sorry. i cannot hear you. >> host: caller, why don't you, we will put you on hold. we will see if we can bring you back. i am not exactly sure what the issue is. in the meantime we will go on to bangor, maine. bangor, maine, go ahead. >> caller: hi, there. thank you for c-span. well, i wanted to make some points. one was the health insurance for jobs. i am kind of an entrepr

at this speech at the state capitol in indianapolis he discusses elementary school education, redistrictingand the state's budget. this is half an hour. [applause] >> mr. speaker, members of the assembly, good evening. we gather tonight to take stock of our state selves and assess the performance of our public duties. the sense of privilege one feels on this podium never diminishes, nor the sense of duty to report honestly and accurately on the health of our public institutions. it is our way in this state to speak plainly and to face reality squarely. the plain truth is, that life is difficult tonight for far too many hoofers -- hoo sism -- hoo sism ers. 1-11 workers is unemployed. 1-6 people on medicate. the average income in missouri fell last year by almost 1%. we are distressed, disappointed, and dissatisfied at all of this. i know we are united in this chamber in seeking to do what government can work through and out of the national resession in which we are enmeshed. [applause] but hoosiers are also known for resistance and for keeping a sense of perspective. we know we have battled

our next call is from indianapolis. jim, on the independent line. caller: hello. thank you for c-span. i pretty much want to echo what the last lady said. historically, i do not let the u.s. off the hook, i do not let the cia off the hook, i do not let the imf off the hook. we have to look at what france has done to haiti over the years. in 1947 they finally got done paying off that debt, which was started in the 1830's. you guys are talking about $20 billion. if france wants to get right with this thing, they need to pay reparations. guest: once again, we could go back and forth on that issue, which is once again an issue that is disputed by historians. so let's not go into that and let's see how we can help and if we can give, certainly as we intend to do, more money than the money we are spending at the moment. we will do so. there is no doubt about that. but once again, i do not think the right way to proceed in order to help haiti is to go on into a historical controversy, dating back to the beginning of the 19th century. host: a couple more minutes with our

host: indianapolis. good morning. caller: i have heard people talk about the health bill for months. not one time have heard anyone say how much money it is going to cost my wife and i vermont per year. there has never been any money -- my wife and i per month per year. i am a home owner. these are bad times. i am worried they will do me like the irs, if you do not pay your irs bill. they will make you sell your home. it will be quicker than you can imagine. i had a problem several years ago with the irs. they said i had 15 days to come up with the money or they were going to make me sell my properties. host: taxes on the independent line. -- texas on the independent line. >> we take you live now to the state department. >> a personal pleasure and an honor to welcome back the foreign minister to the state department. representing a country that is such a valued ally of the united states. over the past 10 years king of dellabdullah has carried on the provision of the jordanian people. jordan has continued to be a key p

indianapolis, indiana. good morning. caller: good morning. host: what do you think? well caller: thing conveniently left out of the conversation from senators and congressman was the comparison it gives political action committees. they are the ones to start a political action committees some time ago. why can't the corporation just make itself a political action committee? host: corporations can still have their pac -- that was not talked about in the ruling. caller: why are they so up in arms when they can hide money in a political action committee? host: i see what you're saying, ok. caller: it is all about the money. what is to stop greenpeace from the and the same thing? it is not just big disney. this has been an issue for a long time. it needs to be aired. we need to do something about it but it is not just big business. it is anybody who wants to call themselves a political action committee and it was congress to start it that and now it has come full circle and they are screaming about it. it is ridiculous. host: connecticut, edward, good morning. are you ca

indianapolis, what where are you? what percent of adult americans say they have trade marijuana? >> actually admit they have trade. >> exactly right. [laughter] >> on a telephone survey to an unnamed question. >> i would say it is less than 50% will admit. >> how about you? >> i would say about 40%. >> one third of americans will admit on a telephone call that they have tried marijuana. >> you are right. the budget problems in california are so serious that 54% of california voters say that marijuana should be legalized to help solve california's problems. i'm not sure if that says more about marijuana on the budget problems. [laughter] third, what percent of adult americans with home computers would rather give up their tv than their computer, would give up their tv than their computer? if you had to give up one of them, what percent are going to give up tv rather than computer? who haven't i picked on? >> 30% to 39%. >> you? >> 30% to 39%. >> 40% to 49%. >> 60%. >> 60-plus. >> 30% to 39%. >> the right answer here is 56% of americans with home computers would rather give up thei

host: indianapolis, indiana. democrat's line. go ahead.ler: what i would like to know is why must the government get involved in this project? if you listen to those who wax the fox news channel, the worm that the presidents put in their plates yesterday, you would think this would be a socialist program. but why must the government get involved? guest: well, transportation doesn't work without a government partnership in all of modes. in aviation, in highways, in public transportation, in intercity passenger rail, you need the government support. the private sector is an important part of that, too. this high-speed rail program is going to be enormous. it's going to be the private sector that builds these lines. it's going to be the private sector that designs them. it's going to be ourçó universities, the train people, to do these jobs. it's going to be widespread. but the governmentçó is the catalyst for all of that and it won't happen without the government. host: joan, good morning. caller: good morning. in 1969, or 1970, i rode the b

be their congressman and i look forward to an exciting super bowl in which they'll defeat the indianapolis colts. tonight, i will read several statements from my district in their honor. the first is from kay highen botham, a teacher at the academy of sacred hearts in new orleans. she writes, do the saints have an impact on education? as a skl school administrator, i believe it's immeasurable and far exceeds economics. it's more than an awareness of team colors. students enjoy spirit days but they spend time discussing the job of a prfingsal athlete, what it means to stay focused, eat healthy food, get plenty of exercise and sleep, follow rules, work through pain and be a good sport, win or lose. teachers help students understand the report -- the importance of following parent and teacher directives and when following the saints, they link it to the attention each player must play to the coach's play calling and discuss the pride felt in a job well done, the discipline it takes to make a wise choice on and off the field and the consequences that ensue if one doesn't. if the job of -- if t
