we represent some writers, artists, and in some cases, it might be like leonard bernstein, artists that sells records around the world. there are some songs we have in our back catalog. one of the composers of our most successful songs is still alive. every year, the son gets covered. there is a news and allowed coming out by the pussycat dolls, and very successful group where it is a cover this go version of i will survive. that is one example -- a song is a beautiful thing. songs can be covered so many times. with so many songs in our catalog. it is unbelievable, the life that a song has. we all appreciate that because when we think back on our special moments, -- you know, our business is really to protect those songs and collect the income related to those songs. every time our son is used or recorded -- our song is used or recorded in a television show, our job is to license it, collects the and come around the world. in the u.s., it is difficult for a publisher to go to every radio station, every tv station, every bar and grill and say, can you please pay my song writers? there ar

leonard butman with the tax policy center said and, again, i'm quoting -- "there is no way we're going to be able to pay for government 10, 20 years from now without coming up with a new revenue source. and, finally, economist paul krudman wrote, and i quote -- ""i find it hard to see how the federal government can meet its long-term obligations without some tax increases on the middle class." unquote. all of these experts echo the point i'm making, you can't tax the rich enough to pay -- to cover all the spending. inevitably what all of this is leading to is the middle class will fall victim to massive taxation. i'll put this into more tangible terms by examining how much the tax rate would need to rise to make up for only this year's projected budget deficit -- just this year's projected budget deficit. the deficit for this year alone is an eye popping $1.8 trillion. this doesn't even take into consideration the more than $12 trillion public debt we currently owe. here's what would have to happen to the tax rate. the rates for the top four brackets would skyrocket from the current ra

the other yeses were leonard lance, and also from new jersey, and i might have left one or two off. those were surprising on the republican side. on the democratic side, there were probably a larger number that wanted to vote no an nancy pelosi was able to hold on to some of them. some of them were in tight districts like kathy dellhamper from pennsylvania, she was struggling throughout the week and turned down invitations to talk to obama officials. john salazar from western colorado was a no vote, despite lobbying from senator mark ewe daw who came over from the senate side to work him, a former colorado congressman trying to win one of his former colleagues. >> what was minority leader john boehner up to late in the house process sort of mounting a house filibuster? >> yes, people were wonder iting if he had a patch on his shoulder to sustain himself because he is a smoker. it was an hour an ten minutes that he was talking, reading through the bill. hey points with respect to the bill. henry waxman and company didn't roll in until 3:00 in the morning, it seems like forever ago, b

he hired john leonard as a harvard dropout and then he sent him to cuba to do a story on one of castro's prisoners. john was 19 years old. and he also grabbed me at the age of 14. a second movement in right time right place is the time and the place. 40 years is a long time. it goes from the vietnam war to the surge in iraq. we missed obama's election. that's not in there. but all of that -- all of that history, 9/11, fall of communism -- it's all there. and one of the lessons i think for conservatives at this moment were pretty glum because things are pretty grim and they really are grim, but you have to remember it has been worse. the mid to late '70s were awful. they were just awful. there was watergate. there was the fall of vietnam. there was stagflation. there was an energy crisis. there was gerald ford's good but bumbling intentions. there was jimmy carter's puniness. cubans were patrolling africa. africa? soviets were occupying afghanistan. it was an awful, awful time. and it ended with ronald reagan. i'm not saying every disaster ends with ronald reagan.

the only other way to get moisture and it's the way i learned from davy leonard who was my roommate when i first got into the minor leagues is wipe the brim of your hat, towel it off and you always have moisture by just going -- if you want to go to your mouth, you have to walk off the mound. it's one of those nights where there's not a lost moisture. >> gary: 2-2. just missed outside. a three ball, two strike count. >> jim: you don't tell anybody you're doing that. you get the whole brim the same color whether it's orange or -- i got did you have a sharp belt buckle too? >> jim: no, i could never figure that one out. thought about it. >> gary: tried it. three up, two downt count down. delivery to scott. he walked him. pelfrey close to the end. he got that double play and enormously important double play. he's now surrender three walks in the ballgame and keeps the sixth inning alive. >> jim: he's made two really huge pitches. one to strikeout. brian roberts to get out of the fifth. then, the double play ball to mora. until then, he was lights out. >> gary: jerry manuel takes the big hop

and we represent, again, song writers, artists, in some cases it might be estates of, you know, the leonard bernstein estate, coldplay, artists that sell records around the world, it's -- in some cases there are songs that we have in our back catalog. actually some of the most successful songs, one of the composers is still alive is i will survive. this song has had incredible life. there's a new single just coming out by the partly cat dpussycat dolls, and that's just one twample of a song is a beautiful thing, right? songs can be covered so many times. you know, we have some songs in our catalog, some of the standards it's unbelievable the life that a song has, and, you know, we all appreciate that, right? when we think back on our lives, special moments, frequently there's a piece of music that goes along with that special moment. and so, you know, that's our business is really, is to protect those songs and collect the income related to those songs. so globally every time our song is used in, you know, is recorded, used in a television show, in a film, in a commercial, you know, our job

leonard reed writes the slow story about how simple pen sold, this very commonplace consumer item really shows you that the people who make their graphite and the people who mail the what and so forth, they don't know how to put it all together, they don't know how to make a pencil and market it and move it around the world. and yet through the magic of the market this comes together and we're able -- right, so students take the story which was popularized by milton friedman and his theory and one student group him with a giant step dancing pencil then went around to students. >> host: it was a big hit. >> guest: who wouldn't love that? who wouldn't be thrilled to end by these young pro capitalist activists, many from christian colleges and a majority of these colleges, to come in and teach schoolchildren about the magic of the market and about economic citizenship and how all sorts of american values are rooted in private property. these are concepts that can be transmitted in a very simple format as entertainment. these are idealistic people, but the same generation as the '60s and man
