as far as john browning, i would go back to the one question that he did not answer that i think woulde to the satisfaction of everyone. it was a why not label him an enemy combat? i think there would be dissatisfaction with some of his answers. for instance, about the idea of we might still send people to get in from -- yemen from guantanamo. host: the other issues that came up on the nbc program, that of privacy and civil rights. these full body scanners that are used in about a dozen airports that could become standard everywhere. >> if you have seen at the images that have come out of these things, they are quite detailed. i am not sure that i would want to go through them. already of the things that will have to happen in the next few months and it might come up at the white house is what is a threshold? there are too broke threshold's. one -- how much of our privacy and our civil liberties are we able to trade in it to get safer? knowing it will never be one of a% say firm -- 100% perfect. will they send all luster body scanning machines? what are willing to give up to increase s

. >> we are trying to elevate the status of john brown's candidacy. we have not been completely fair. she said that we should pull out of afghanistan. i think you could draw a conclusion that she is soft on terrorism and probably on crime. she apparently has picked her enemies very carefully. she is cracking down on garden clubs in massachusetts. she is apparently going after garden clubs for not filing their nonprofit status properly. angry letters to these little groups that maintain traffic islands. they make between $5,000 and $10,000 a year in various dues and plant sales. this is the enemy that must be stopped now. beennot anybody in afghanistan. >> what role does humor play? >> it only works if you leven it a little bit. i guess i would include others in that. our news guy is the guy that we are constantly beating up on as somebody who is lacking our experience. if you're going to describe the show, these three people on the show as people driving to work, andy would be in the driver's seat and i would be next to the driver with maps and our ne

john king. he's in brown headquarters, the park plaza in boston. john is a veteran of boston politics. how much of the votes are from urban areas? >> that's the great question, larry, because right now 30% of the precincts in boston has reported in boston. martha coakley, the democrat, is getting 59% of the vote. we need to watch, and that's why everyone in this room are confident, but they're waiting to see the urban vote in boston. if martha coakley can hold that margin, she can make up some ground for the republican votes in the urban areas and the suburbs. the question is, are there enough people anecdotally today. the turnout was higher in the suburbs than it was in the city, but some people in the city tend to vote late after work, so as wolf just noted, as we watch all these votes coming in, we'll watch suffolk county, just at the county line of boston, larry. >> larry: let's go to the coakley headquarters. what kind of turnout does she need in boston, the city of boston, jessica? >> larry, she needs an exceptionally high turnout. this is where her base voters would be, urban vo

and republican senator john mccain. brown won in part on a promise to stop health care reform in its present form. he was asked today about working with democrats. >> am i open? i'm open to looking at every single bill on its merits and making a decision based on that and my first is going to look at is whether it's good for my state and then obviously if it's good for the country. >> reporter: but republican leaders-- invigorated by brown's election-- said democrats' health reform efforts are dead. house minority leader john boehner said congress should start over. >> listen, our goal is to stop this monstrosity. and we're working with our members so that we don't find ourselves in a position where they're able to pick off a few of our members and to get this bill passed. >> reporter: a white house spokesman said today president obama now agrees on the need to let the dust settle before trying to craft a health care bill that can pass, possibly with republican support. >> sreenivasan: secretary of state hillary clinton took

university of mexico have developed an exercise group and they literally get down on the floor and john brownlike frogs -- jump around like frogs with the kids. there is a strong relationship between screen time, television, computers, and videos, and the development of overweight and obesity. limiting that to two hours a day can help kids. we're working hard to prevent obesity before it ever starts. we need to meet people where they are. be sensitive to the different needs of various populations, no single solution will work for everyone. as the surgeon general has said, it is a challenge. we know we can surmount it together. our nation must commit itself to a long-term campaign to transform our children's health. the american academy of pediatrics is proud to stand today with the administration in working to ensure a healthy future for all our nation's children. it is my distinct pleasure to introduce our next speaker, secretary of the united states department of health and human services, kathleen sebelius. she has been a leader on health care and help families and children for over 20 yea

the tone and tenor as well as the specifics in that ad help scott brown successfully connected with the voters. john. kennedy when he was elected president in 1960 was a revolutionary figure. he was someone was going to usher in a new level of optimism and a new effort to challenge the status quo. i think that was something that's got brown tapped into. guest: part of the people are frustrated and it was being called the kennedy seat. this ad broke through. i do think that it is also ironic that you have republicans trying to recast themselves as populists on the side of middle class, hard-working americans when it was a republican president and republican- controlled congress that passed tax cuts that favor the wealthy over the middle class. there is a lot of irony going on here. guest: president kennedy was a tax cutter. guest: i would remind you that the economic situation we find ourselves in was one that we were left with by a republican president rid our president is trying to do the best he can. it is ironic that you have a republican running as a populist, breaking through on a middle-class

john cornyn. in the walter is with us as well as recliick klein and amy walter. has scott brown'sle across the country. not just republicans. we saw his broad appeal to democrats and independents. it has energized a lot of people and given them hope they can take their country back against what they see as -- washington, d.c. with a tin ear, having too many meetings behind closed doors.. do not have any announcements in terms of new recruits, but we already had some great recruits. i have to tell you there are more common in the days ahead. host: can you tell us the states to watch? guest: we will get more contested primaries in a number of states, possibly in arkansas, possibly in nevada. there is no specific announcements but i think everyone needs to keep their eye on what is happening, because there are a lot more people interested in seeking opportunity for november, 2010. guest: just picking up on them for a second, that there seems to be very few holes left. you have been doing a recording for scored -- for quite some time. -- doing recruiting for quite some time. the one p

a turning point came just after christmas, when brown aired an ad comparing himself to president john f. kennedy. >> ...will have both immediate and permanent benefits to our economy. every dollar released from taxation that is spent or invested will help create a new job and a new salary. >> warner: coakley did not respond, and in early january, polls showed the race tightening. with a filibuster-proof senate majority at stake, democrats belatedly began pouring talent and ad money into coakley's campaign. >> he drives around in a pickup truck, but you have to look under the hood to find the real scott brown. on health care, brown wants to be the deciding vote to kill ted kennedy's legislation. >> warner: but brown appeared to get another boost from monday night's debate with coakley and third party candidate joe kennedy, no relation to the late senator. coakley painted brown as a conservative in the mold of george w. bush. >> he wants to go back to the drawing board. he wants to go back to those bush/cheney policies that provide for the wealthiest. >> warner: brown painted coakley as

the state of massachusetts. >> larry: john, a lot of times in sports as we know we don't know approximate if the winning team won or the losing team lost. did brown win this, or did coakley lose it it? >> reporter: that's a great way to put it, larry . if you talk to everybody here, they say a little bit of both. you can see the celebration here. the band is back on after midnight. koakled did not run a great campaign. people are just as mad if not more mad about the economy, just as worried about jobs than they were in 2008. they're still mad at wall street and the bail outs and on top of that scott brown ran a foeked and disciplined campaign and had superb campaign staff around her. tapped into economic anxiety, spending anxiety and the sense in massachusetts all those independents will talked about, they thought naively but they thought barack obama would make washington different sooner. the independents don't like at you will the part sdplanship. tonight they sent a message. >> larry: jessica we heard what a bad or poor candidate martha coakley was. in her concession speech she seemed clear-headed and had a nice voice and good approach to th

scott brown started out with an ad this year, his first tv ad of the general election campaign actually in which you see johnkennedy talking about a tax cut that he offered to get the economy going out of a recession. he morphs into scott brown talking about his proposal for a tax cut. democrats here took umbrage at that. >> brown: you'd normally expect a low turnout in a mid- sony lex especially a cold winter january day. is this now all about get out the vote for both sides. >> very much so. it appears that the democrats are energized by the closeness of the race. getting as i was going to cokely events this weekend. marriagely these were volunteers who wanted to be... who wanted to get a pep talk from coakley so they could get the people they knew to go out and vote. they're all telling me that they're energized. the question is whether all those people who show up at the scott brown rallies-- and there are a lot of people-- will turn out tomorrow. whether the independent voters are energized enough to show up and vote. it appears for scott brown. >> brown: fred tice of wbur boston, thanks very much. >> g

john perkins for his daughter tonight. [applause] >> among other titles, tina brown is the cofounder of "the daily beast.com" website.you have a book section on the website, tell us about it. >> we lost about six months ago is coming a very striving channel on "the daily beast" website that everyday we cover a new book. each day we have highlights of what to read, why you should read it. we do wonderful little cheat sheet, pieces about reviews, more over the place we had the editor from the times littered, does kind of a written list, what ever is reading in the u.k. he's a very lively channel. and lucas whitman is the editor. he came and joined us just recently. we are developing what we feel overly great one spot for writers, because there are so few places to where they can get their books reviewed. we do video. we had a wonderful interview with philip recently who gives a very few interviews about his new book, the humbling. so i think a combination of video and pictures and reviews and interviews and extracts which were not doing. it's really developing quite a following that and i think hopefully we will stand

one way to think about this raise is that scott brown got - i think 50,000 more votes in massachusetts than johnmccain got and martha cokely got 800 thousand than barack obama got. what happened is a tremendous number of people that came out and voted for obama in 2008 stayed at home and didn't vote for martha. guest: and a significant number of people that voted for obama voted for brown. guest: there's 800,000 people and so some are sitting at home. the issue is there's tremendous frustration and discontent in the country. it's generalized and focused on the economy as it should be and there's a tremendous distrust of the country's elite. this i think is actually the core issue. we've witnessed in the last decade almost epidemic of elite failure. everyone running anything that is screwed up and it eroded the public's trust that the people who are a top the commanding heights of the order to make the good decisions, are going to make decisions in their interest and that deep distrust is what we're seeing broadly across the country. guest: there's an effort now to explain the election in massach

brown coming to washington today, as we heard. and he has recorded his first row -- robocall for john mccain. frank, republican, from beverly, new jersey. caller: you have a great show. the problem here is -- not a problem whether you are d or r -- the problem is these guys go up there and did not represent us any more. and until this starts to change, you are going to see the political landscape change very often in washington, because people are really fed up. not only on the r's and d's, but everything they are doing. they don't listen to us. the only thing they are concerned about is keeping their jobs. i am telling you, you watch the people that swap party affiliations now and you watch for people who retire and you watch for people who get voted out of office. this was a referendum on what is going on in washington, d.c. i was shocked we got the republican governor in new jersey because new jersey is a democratic state. and what happened in massachusetts, i was stunned, because that is so liberal and to the left, that state, and how they vote and what they do, the people are fed up now

brown is outside the courthouse. the deputy national security adviser john brennan said sunday there would be a plea deal ordered. has a plea bargain been offered in this case? >> well, if it has, we're not aware of it. the chief prosecutor, the new chief prosecutor here for the federal government, barbara wade, said not yet to the associated press and a number of other local media outlets. we asked again today about any kind of plea deal that maybe in the offing, and her office said, we cannot comment at this particular time. it is important to note that abdulmutallab is inside the federal courthouse and has been since before 11:00 this morning, presumably having meetings with his defense team. trace: yeah. and there are muslim-americans, steve, demonstrating against alabama lab. >> yeah. a sizable group, and they're really a passionate group of muslim-americans that wanted to come out here on this particular day to let the world know and the nation know that they denounce terrorism. islam, denounced islam as an instrument of terror and they say they are and will make their voices heard. trace: yeah, steve brown

house minority leader john boehner followed with the republican address, discussing scott brown the victoryhusetts special senate election and urging the obama administration and congressional democrats to work together on an alternative health care bill. >> one of the reasons i ran for president was because i believed so strongly that the voices of the everyday americans, hard- working people doing everything they can to stay afloat or not being heard of a powerful voices of special interest in washington. the result was a national agenda too often skewed in favor of those with the power to curry favors. we push back on the power by implementing a historical reforms, to get rid of the influence of special interests. on my first in office, we close to resolving. revolving door between lobbyists and government that nobody in my administration would make decisions based on the interests of former or future employers. we to executive officials. we imposed tough restrictions on funding to line the public of the well-connected. for the first time in history, we have publicly disclose the names o

Ñispending in a deep hole, it is hard to reach as high as you need to reach to get a proposal that will go through congress. personally, i would have said to work exclusively on economics again, putting peo

prime minister sometimes john prescott, jack straw unter and then there was a broader cabinet came into being in gordon brown, and i can't remember the whole grouping, but that certainly would be a group of people that i simply assumed was being served with papers properly. >> the cabinet as a whole had to take responsibility for the decision, as of course subsequently did parliament. clare short, cabinet minister at the time, said in her book and honorable deception, there was a great difference between the cabinet being updated each week on the events they are reading about in the press, and any serious discussion of the risks and the political diplomatic and military options and hammering out of an agreed strategy to handle the crisis. now, did they cabinet, in 2002, ra 2003, as one approach to conflict them at any stage have a properly informed debate, not a briefing, about the strategy? >> yet. they did. look, i think the prime minister was set in a different context, that if he saw the first time he was aware of a difficulty within the cabinet or people who had very, very strongly oppose, when he as th
