it was your idea, julian? i was talking to the psychic about eight years ago and she said i was going to die soon. so that kind of sucked. >> it was a phone psychic too. >> i thought she was a good psychic, all right? >> so she told you you were going to die? >> yeah. so i, you know, hired this film crew to follow us around and document our lives so when i did die, you can take it to show the footage to kids in schools and stuff and they can learn from it. >> and so -- >> some role model -- >> what are you talking about? >> and do you guys like having the film crew around all the time? >> i don't enjoy it at all. >> you don't like it? >> no that's nothing fun about it. you wake up to take a pee and the guy is filming you. i know he's aiming at my bird even though he said he's not. >> do you mind the cameras there? >> no, i think it sucks. i mean, if you're going to the liquor store and suppose you need liquor and you have no money, you're trying to be a little secrete, you want to get some money and the camera

julian epstein, a democratic strategist. julian, what do you think of this? is this okay? the pork? >> unfortunately, i wasn't able to hear what tom was saying. but in any major government program, you always inevitably find a little bit of waste. i think it's a bad thing and out to be rooted out and i think the obama administration has put more cops on the beat to are you this out. look what happened with the bush administration in iraq. we had $12,000 in cash and armamen armaments. >> ah -- >> go ahead. >> the administration didn't even care about. so at least you see the barack obama administration, unlike previous administrations, putting cops on the beat to make sure this doesn't happen. >> julian, how many cops on the beat, julian, with this line of nonsense? how many cops on the beat did barack obama's stimulus bill put? how many teachers in schools? you can't tell me. he's making it up as he goes along. >> steve obviously isn't listening. >> how many? >> what i'm talking about is an enormous amount of resources with inspectors general. >> how many, how many? >> i c

julian,hen you saw pal's speech, wh were your thoughts about the 2012 ace? your mind?f the running in >> yeah. the onlyrational explanation for what she is doing is that she is stping out of politics. her poll numbers sho that 6 out of 10, 60% of the american public, think that she was not alified to be presiden even repubcan comentators, by droves, a saying that her explanation yesterday was largely incoherent. and i think for the most part, most -- people are only gointo be ableo concludene of two thin. either that she is -- she can't take theeat with the ethics charges, as patointed out, with her poll nbers dropping in alaska, wit all the difficulties that shs facing in the gislare, that's one option. wants to go and make money. neitheof those two options will redeem hern themimind of voters who, agagain largely believevedbyby 60%,%, that she't qualifieied for higher office. >> you knonow, and, pat, jlian adaddrsesewhat he just id, it was kind o of raambngng statement. etty much everyryons s on board with that. you'd think that iff y you were ususinthth to be smeave

we get more in how britain is racing to open call centers to counsel people about the disease from julian rush of itn. >> reporter: the move to use the internet and to set up call centers for staff who haven't been medically trained, diagnose swine flu wasn't meant until october. delays getting phone lines installed meant it wasn't going to be ready. but numbers are rising so fast 2,000 operators will start work next week. the aim is to relief the pressure on gp surgeries and hospital a & d departments but it does mean that antiviral drugs will be given out to anyone and it'll be difficult to check if they're genuinely ill or have not delivered the questions deliberately just to get their hands on the case. even though there is enough to go around. just over a week ago in england, only london and the west midlands were hot spots. swine flu had really yet to make its mark at all in york shire and the humber. and this jury hotspot. york shire -- as the virus spreads it's becoming clearer children are the most affected. adults tend to acquire a degree of immunity as they get older and densel

exactly what julian is saying, right, congressman? >> i think the problem is that democrats are in the bowl of a huge dust up. since the speaker threw out these outridge rageious allegation, there hasn't been one hearing within the intelligence committee to actually go after this since may. they should be diving deep into these issues. you have seven members of the intelligence committee not on letterhead sending a letter wanting pi net at that, a democrat, to change his testimony and pretty much saying he might have lied to congress. and you have this coming up. it's a democrat food fight that i hope gets sorted out because this should not be partisan. this is something that is of public importance. >> democratic food fight, i think it's important not to make this partisan. the questions and actions are the questions like torture and other activities by the intelligence community under the bush administration. i think there is a common view in the american public that these intelligence activities under the bush administration were m

. >> julian,s the see more hirsch story surd? >> i don think it's absurd.s not so much a violation o criminal law. but itould have been a violation of execuve orders put in ple after e argentinean situation inhe 1970s. i think the thesis for the democrats in the 2008 election was the republicans had mismanagedhe economy and mismaned the war in iraq. is me one more exhibit in that gener narrative, but i think to pick on at ron said, demoats do have to be careful about this. on the one hand litically, we want to keep remindingpeople about how badly the republicans handled the gornment. democrats are no in chargof the governmentnd they want to be seen as fixing the oblems, fixing health care, energy, the econ running an intill geellint war in afghanian. while this is lpful for t 08 narrative, i think the democrats have to be careful about overplayg their hand on this. >> a lot of people are bringin up that argument, that the don't want it to appear the democrats are infighting. a loof people has sid this is vindication fospeaker pelosi. you it this way or is t

colonel julian says "we strongly condemn this public exploitation and hugh mill nation that occurred here it is a violation of the international law. and we will continue to use all resources available to us to return this soldier to safety." for weeks, that has been a real combination of the carrot and the stick. the u.s. military has been dropping pamphlets over afghanistan. one pamphlet shows a soldier kicking in a door saying, "if you do not return our fellow soldier, we will hunt you down." the other is a completely different tack, a soldier surrounded by children with an outstretched hand that one says, "one of our guests has gone missing. if you can help at all, please call this number." so, two very different tacks, trying to reach out to the afghan people and try to pin down exactly where he may be held right now. frederica? >> what do we know about how he was captured, chris? >> reporter: we don't know specific details. we do know that military force tells us that a military official says that he apparently left his post, his out post in southeastern afghanistan on june 30t

and last night our chairman julian among who lives in the district was the recipient. and so those are the things we'll focus on. we're trying to use technology to help us monitor a lot of the police incidents that happen not only around the country, not only in the district, but around the country. use the cell phone and the technology that we can use to monitor what is going on and be sure that as a organization committed to civil and social justice that we can do that in an affective manner. >> and there are laws on the books that tackled big things like voting and basic civil rights and the president urged the organization to take on a broader mission. it seems the health and education disparity is what he's speaking of. >> and income. and that is something we have been working on for a number of years. but we're retooling ourselves, establishing goals and criteria and things that we can do that we can really make a difference. the naacp will be here another 100 years. we won't be here to witness it, but we're around and we'll be a valuable part of the community he

the days that martin luther king founded the civil rights movement with the help of rosa parks and julianbond and so many more people who put their lives at risk. but as dr. martin luther king said in 1963 from the mall here in washington, he says, the arc of the universe may be long, but it bends towards justice. thank you very much.

let's take this to julian bond in his speech, when he addresses your event, or is there something more him to do as the leader of the country to fight the problem that is still very much there? >> we think he will talk about us, because he came to the convention yesterday when he was candidate obama, and told us he would come back this year. and we are happy to have him. there are many things we want the president of the united states to do, no matter who he is or what race he is, and that's to represent the people fairly and justly, and to insure that everybody has an opportunity. we expect to hear that from him. >> you say no matter what his race is, that's what you want the president to do. but there is a difference here. this president going to the middle east and africa, it carries a significant difference. let's not deny that. >> yeah, he is a unique figure in american history. he can do something with it. he can use it, if you will, to the advantage of the united states. and so far he has done it very well. >> and that's where i was getting at with my question. how do you think
