back to you, joe. >> joe: thank you, pam. thank you to keith brooking. what a pro he is. wade phillips thrilled to have him. to the 25 is keon lattimore as we approach the two-minute warning here in arlington, texas. and the tennessee titans will use their final time-out. >> troy: in talking with keith brooking, he said the best years i had was when wade phillips was my defensive coordinator in '02 and '03. keith brooking was 27 at the time. to my surprise, wade phillips said he looks like the same player. he hasn't lost astep, sti moves well. he's very instinctive. i know that they're feeling -- you can tell in hearing him interviewed right there, he brings a lot of leadership. he loves the game of football. but he's a good player, more importantly, and he should help them. >> joe: pro's pro, zach thomas manned that position last year for dallas. now they go to brooking. mcgee gets a chance to do something. he runs it and slides on third down. he is short of first down yardage. that will take us to the two-minute warning. tennessee out of time-outs. terrence newman was b

has liver disease, joe has edema. and he's filling up with fluid. this is about the fourth time we've gone to the hospital this year with this problem. >> i'm hoping that you come home soon. >> i hope so, too. we have... i have to come home. >> actually, you take 12, 13... there are 14 medications here that you're suppose to take daily. >> daily, yes. i don't even know what i'm going to do when we come out. we have no money to pay for this medicine. >> i know. and i don't know how we're going to pay for this hospital bill. >> if i paid for the medicine, i wouldn't have been in the hospital to begin with. i'm going to have pain in a minute. >> it's okay. you want to hold my hand? breathe in through your nose, out your mouth. count, remember count, focus on your fingers. well, i'm hoping that they can figure out what's wrong with you and get this water out. >> why am i so blown up? >> well, you're blown up because you know that you have the cirrhosis of the liver. >> yes. >> and when you're on your medicine, the diureti

>> absolutely, joe. you know, i was -- with maureen orth last night after the ceremony at the library, john f. kennedy library. and i was recalling with her that the day after tim russert -- maureen orth's husband -- was buried, the next morning, i received a phone call quite early in the morning. and it was from senator kennedy wanting to know how i was doing in the aftermath of tim's death. that's who he was, joe. large part. this was largely hidden, i think, from a lot of people in the media. he knew what it was to be hurt, to be wound, to suffer losses, and he had such empathy and could clearly so identify with people who had suffered losses of all sorts. >> you know what was significant, joe, someone once said that care act the is what you do when no one is looking. and, you know, as this week has unfolded, story after story after story where there wasn't a tv camera, you know, there wasn't a photographer, there was no reporters around. like mike just indicated. it went unnoticed and unobserved. and

michael's handlers portrayed joe jackson as a villain.ld two jobs to make the jackson 5 into what they are. michael said that he loved his parents and joe jackson repeatedly. the handlers, the vultures around michael refused him entry. there is a father in mourning now and how dare the media and the world to try to dump on him right now. it's not the time. joe jackson is 80 years old. he made a lot of sacrifices. he made a lot of mistakes, too, he admits them. by the way, geraldo, when used to strap michael jackson, principals were doing that to kids in schools. >> my parents never hit me as far as i recall. be that as it may -- we believe that dr. conrad murray will by indicted for manslaughter or maybe even murder. we do not believe he is without claim in this. and you have information to back up a kind of shady past. >> there is a stack of files on dr. conrad murray, paternity suits, fraud allegations. he needed dough. who paid him the money? who brought him in. the police have a list of over 100 people they are looking into. it starts

that was a pretty remote, so he was grooming joe, and joe kennedy jr. to be president. >> joe jr., the oldest son, is a law student at harvard when the united states enters the war. he puts his studies on hold and enlists in the navy, becoming a bomber pilot. two years into his service, joe jr. is killed when his b-24 liberator explodes over the english channel. >> when joe died in the war, it fixed on jack, joe wanted his sons to give something back in public service and prominent public service. >> it's clear that in this family, public life and doing something in government became the brass ring that they all wanted to reach for. >> and after the war, the kennedy children began reaching for that brass ring. jack kennedy wins election to the u.s. house of representatives. bobby, who also served in the navy during the war, is at the university of virginia law school, poised to begin his own career in government. ted, 15 years jack's junior, first enters milton academy and then goes onto harvard. like his brothers, he is a popular student. however, he d

no joe here. behave. >> we can't say anything bad about joe when he's not here then. >> you can if you want. >> no, i don't dare. so just come back around and hit me twice as hard. let's talk a little bit about what's going on in the tropics. tropical depression number two yesterday that dissipated. things are going to get more interested. we've been so lucky. 2 1/2 months, no big storm, no damage, no devastation. the storm just came off the coast of africa. this is likely to be the first storm we're going to have to track. that's the second arrow all the way to your right, the big red blob, likely near puerto rico or the islands six or seven days from now and after that who knows. that's going to be the storm to watch. the forecast for your friday relatively nice around the country. this is going to be a perfect friday in chicago, kansas city, orlando to charleston. down on the southeast coast a chance for storms. what a three-day stretch for new england and the mid-atlantic. just a perfect summe

>> i do, joe. in order to -- for you and mika and jon back there in the set in new york to know that there is some sense of predictability and continuity here in massachusetts. i have been standing next to bill delahunt for an hour. my wallet was in my left hand pocket. >> joe, i will buy the coffee. >> that's right. and this morning is about forgiveness and redemption. >> you are in the right place. >> delahunt, if you need forgiveness and redemption. so, my son, you are forgiven. >> say no more. >> joe, i forgive you. >> we have to ask you again, bill, a lot of people want you to replace your friend ted kennedy as senator of massachusetts. if asked to do that, would you do it, even though you now have barnicle's wallet in your pocket? >> you know, you know, joe, i'm at that stage in my career where i don't want to make a sixth-year commitment to anything. i just became a grandfather. she's 3 months old. her name is maya. i want to spend as much time as i can with her. and avoid the likes of your

joe torre. he's a prostate cancer survivor. joe, how did you discover you had it? >> well, larry, it was just my regular, routine checkup. actually, i used to -- i took a stress test before i went to spring training. this was in '99. and they discovered that my -- my psa had elevated. it was, like, 2.6, and it was -- no, excuse me, 4.6 from about 2.6. and my doctor, my cardiologist said, when you get down to florida, have it checked again. they checked it again. it stayed the same. i had a biopsy taken, and lo and behold, threat was, i had prostate cancer. you know, never felt bad. felt wonderful. we had just won second world series, and i was tickled pink, and all of a sudden, you know, you get hit in the face. >> larry: now, you had decisions to make. you could have done radiology. you could have done nothing. you chose surgery, right? why? >> well, you know, i had an aggressive form of cancer. and prostate cancer. and thank goodness, michael milken, who i had not met, but my brother frank had met, had called and really sort of cleared up all that fuzziness that

joe flacco a rating of person 115. let's go listen to joe. >>ung we looked good.the biggest thing i wish we had three touchdowns. we kind of hurt ourselves. we have to eliminate that. overall we felt good and came out with another win. [ audio faint ] >> we are not worried about that. we are going to go out and tackle each defense the way we have a best shot of winning. in the pre-season we throw the ball around a little bit and we did a good job of that and tonight was another example. [ audio faint ] >> those guys are playing great. anytime you have that kind of guys out there winning, it makes it easy for a quarterback. [ audio faint ] >> you have a team that was dropping out a little bit on us. especially when we came back in the first drive of the second half. it was too easy not to check it down. whenever you have linebackers who have that depths, you cooy see what you can do from there. >> he's a little guy that should be in there. he has good balance. you get him the ball, you don't what happens. he doesn't go down with the first hit. [ inaudible ] >> it's

. >> stan: a good job by joe flacco. he knew it was a penalty against carolina and he picked up the ball and tried to make something out of it. sometimes people stop and you can make a big play when they relax. >> gerry: ravens have gone 79 yards. they need 6 more yards to get to the end zone. just under 6 minutes in the half. still on his feet. willis mcgahee showing impressive strength and gets it down on the 3. a year ago the ravens were the clock killers around the nfl. no team held on the ball more than the ravens. more than 33 minutes a game. they were better than the giants and patriots. all three of the teams, double digit wins. second and two from the 3. he's inside the one. shy of the goal line. >> stan: that was his lean. he got to the point and he leaned into his blockers and just sort of pushed them into the defenders and pushed the hole pile from the 3 down to the inside of the 1 yard-line. 1st down inside the 1. last time that happened they got no points. >> gerry: ravens had the ball almost twice as much

>> joe, read the report.ying, you know, this is going to come back and -- going to come back to bite us. and, you know, there is a point at which an agent says, you know in ten years, we will regret having done what we did. and they knew that this was -- wrong or -- or certainly borderline if not absolutely wrong. and -- and -- i -- i think about all of the thousands of honorable public servants in the cia who were not involved with this, some of whom were as appalled by the practices as -- as the attorney general apparently. and i wonder what message it sends to them and their morale. >> we have jonathan capehart here. >> you said you know for a fact attorney general holder was appalled but what read in the report. i'm wonder sing he appalled meaning that he's read something new that was illegal that led him to have no choice but to pursue the course of action that they announced yesterday. >> jonathan, i do not. i do not know what specifically it was that was so appalling. you have seen the report and the -

there was a great story joe biden told, i began to tell you yesterday, here, joe, when after joe wasis wife was killed in that car accident. like right away. she was coming out of the driveway shopping for a capitali christmas tree, i think it was, with the daughter and the car comes smashing in. >> one of those things looking the wrong way or whatever. joe was crushed although he was as egotistical as anybody and wanted to be a senator as anybody in that age, didn't want to do anything, given the worst room in the capitol, nobody wants to be in the durston building, a boring building and nobody even know there was sixth floor and santorum has this room twhan middle of no. where teddy came over and grabbed him, said you have to meet the guy, join up, become part of the system here. he didn't want to do it. come turnover the gym and spend time with the boys. he didn't want to do it. he finally kept bothering him, said, i will come to the gym. said i'm not really a workout kind of guy, back in the '70s, nobody was. gets over to the gym. teddy said it's a not kind of gym, not workout ki

i think he had to, joe. you know all the problems the president has got with spending and budgets and the rest of it. all he's got to do is leave the door open to raising taxes to pay for this health care program or something else, the health care program has a lot of problems. i think the backlash from that would just about sink it immediately. people would say we've been had completely. i expected gibbs to nail it shut. it was just at exactly what moment in his briefing he hit it. it would be, as you said, first thing out of the box. >> you know, mike barnicacle i' going to be positive. we're talking about a major health care reform package. everybody seems as if the debate now all centers around paying for this very big program. this is not the way washington has worked in the past. the american people have clearly been set up by six months of reckless spending and they have said enough. that has put a great deal of rerestaurant, i think, on the obama administration and democrats in this debate. if you wa

joe mauer is up. hitting .442 during the month of august, and facing chris tillman. >> well, this toldmy a lot about chris tillman, because he matched up perfectly with him. it >> it seems like tillman gets better with i'm start. >> he does. thinks he's costs himself, with a wild pitch, a buck at the wrong time, he's not really just getting the cover beat off the ball while he's throwing it. he's doing certain things if the game. i think experience will probably teach him down the road to stay away from certain pitches in certain situations, and to go just like he went against mauer. sometimes, you know, you just have to say here. here is my fastball. go ahead and hit it. and if he puts it in a spot where the guy is

and joe, thank you so much, joe califano, for being with us.? >> well, i don't know. i think both the congress and treasury are consumed with sick care. go back to medicare and medicaid. in order to pass them, we had to agree to give doctors their fee for service, and let them set their own price, their usual fees. we had to give hospitals costs, plus reimbursement, and let them basically have no incentive for efficiency. and the most important lesson, i think, is trying to predict costs. we looked at the world as it was in 1965. remember, when we passed medicare and medicaid, there were no mris or cat stacans or drugs for chemotherapy. that, and the other thing, nobody -- believe me, nobody in 1965 expected this phenomenal leap in life expectancy. those two things dramatically changed. and to think now -- i think it's one of the things that is really out of whack to me, to think that anybody can predict what the cost are going to be 10 years out, it's not real. we are on the verge of revolution in neurology, and genetics, and artificial limbs,

joe kennedy gave his loif for his country. jack kennedy -- joe was fighting the nazis. jack the communists. do you know why jack was killed? he stood up to castro and a castro lover killed him. bobby kennedy was killed for our position in the middle east and a guy didn't like that position and killed him. these are political deaths. these guys stood up for what they believed in. they were called warriors. the old man wasn't. the old man wasn't that kind of a patriot. he was only interested in his kids. he didn't have that gut love of the country the way the kids had. he wasn't fully assimilated. do you know what i'm talking about? and i think the kids wanted to atone for that and they really wanted to be true american heroes and not in the sense of being celebrated but giving everything they had to this country. they beloved this country and i think it's something to watch how jack kennedy did that and every time they ran for something, remember lyndon johnson? ly lyndon johnson went after jack kennedy. he was still hold iing it again them. still running against munich.
