it left his hand low.t left that pitcher's hands low. >> you wouldn't want to think he had dinner reservations but there was a rain delay, this late at night for the home plate umpire. you get that fir inning, johnny cueto, you want to get him early, get some doubt going, but at 23 he is still showing some veteran leadership. >> he is a young pitcher and if you get him early you usually get him often and that play they made behind him is something that we have not necessarily done in situations. certainly he wasn't throwing the ball good in the first inning but he threw the ball well the next six. >> well you look at the defense for the nats, both teams getting some things goin', you heard some oohs and ahs from the announcers and the fans, especially on a wet field, a well-played game. >> it was offensively. this is the play we saw earlier, they would never have been a part of the game because managers and coaches won't let you do it but hernandez the catcher playing first base and another great play by e

it freezes 58 million low-income americans into a medicaid program that offers sporadic, substandard care. it's so expensive it will literally bankrupt states, and our government accountability office has told us it wastes $1 for every $10 it spends. that's $32 billion a year, three-fourths as much as we spend on all the prescription drugs for senior americans. and, according to unbiased government officials, its addition to the national debt are astronomical. the congressional budget office told us yesterday that the kennedy bill so far as it's written will add $1 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years, and that doesn't include medicaid expansion or the expansion of reimbursements for doctors seeing medicaid patients. it doesn't include the government health insurance option. it doesn't include the employer mandate. the baucus bill, we are told -- according to press results -- in the finance committee may cost $1.5 trillion over the next ten years. an independent study released yesterday says the kennedy bill may mean $4 trillion. the national government association says that m

we need to take a low carbon path. i think they get that they need to take a low carbon path. the real issues are going to be how fast are you prepared to move along, and the speed at which -- and is the speed at which they're prepared to move along consistent with scientific requirements? i am sympathetic to the challenges the chinese are facing. when we were industrializing, nobody told us how much we could put up into the air, because nobody understood it at that point. they do have a different challenge, and not only them, other developing countries. and yet, there is no choice. has to be done. it is a critical issue. >> thank you very much. >> thanks very much. >> today, the u.n. security council agreed to additional sanctions against north korea for their refusal to end their nuclear program. following the meeting, some of the council members spoke to reporters about the resolution. among them are representatives of the united kingdom, china, and japan. this is about 25 minutes. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. today, the security council has both spoken and acte

they are in business to maintain low inflation and stability in the economy, they have failed. i want to know, there is a bill before congress right now that has 336 backers. hr 12 07 -- hello? host: go ahead. caller: hr 1207 to audit the fed. considering they have not been audited since 1913, considering they have taken trillions of our dollars and refuse to tell us where they are at, sir, i want to know two -- signs of things, and want to stay in line and i know your disingenuous answer will not answer my questions. one, do you back 1207 come auditing of the fed, and, two, i would like to know why we need the fed. they simply have taken the right to print our money and they learned back to us at exorbitant interest rates that a loan shark would love to have and not one penny that we paid in and come tax goes to one single service but pays for the debt that they are laying on us 40 owning us our own money. so, sir, could you answer those two questions? i would like to stay online because i would like to come back after you did not answer this one. guest: i would be very happy

i am getting tired of seeing ships coming in low in the water in seattle full of chinese products and when they go back, they are high in the water and empty. i want to start putting american products on ships and shipping them to china. there will be a giant market for clean energy technology. here is the question -- we saw in china two weeks ago and electric power plants are building, a solar cell the element system the building, the wind turbines system they are building. we are in a race determining whether the products be made in china or in the united states. this bill will enhance the prospect that those jobs will be in america. i am proud to tell you that one of the investments i was irresponsible for getting in the last bill was a $2 billion investment in lithium ion batteries. this is key to the future of the car. we are going to be billed -- increased building and driving partially electric cars. i want them to the end mass., in washington state. i have learned one thing, if you do not want to believe in the science of global warming, nothing is going to convince you but ha

here is a low point for you but i want everybody to listen to this low point because it is a low point for the country. let me read from ms. cahill. the holiday season always reminded me how little we had and how unfair i felt that was to my children. she's talking about her own three children now. they were awesome little kids and i felt so guilty that no matter how hard i worked there was never enough. we are talking about a mother who was a schoolteacher and worked three jobs, people come in order to support her family. people don't think of teachers as underpaid but my own children qualified for free and reduced lunches which meant we fell below the poverty line. how sad is that? socio-economic we, our family ranked in the bottom 25th percentile even though i was college-educated and an award winning teacher. you think if that doesn't get you let's try this. ms. cahill help to an elderly black grandmother deliver groceries at thanksgiving or christmas, one of those holidays. >> guest: she's a saint. >> host: after doing her duty helping deliver the groceries, we read this later on

they tend to limit their goals to low-paying and some cases hazardous occupation. for many minority children other expectations of them are set so low they never really reach their full potential. a recent report showed half of african-american children and 40% of hispanic children attended a high school where the dropout rate was close to 50%. this compared to only 11% of white attending those schools with those dismal statistics. >> dr. pamies, thank you very much. and we will continue during the q & a. dr. chandra. >> members of the commission, i'm a professor at harvard university's kennedy school of government and a fellow with the dartmouth institute for health policy. thank you for inviting me for the information on how to improve healthcare for minority patients. we are all aware of the stubborn persistence of racial disparities in treatment over time even when patients are fully insured. many believe that the clinical encounter is the most pernicious source of these disparities. my main point this morning is that we are unlikely to make great strides in im

but quite frankly the low income americans more than any other group suffer from chronic diseases. they don't you write, they smoke, they go too fast food places all the time. maybe the grocery stores in the neighborhood don't have fresh fruits and vegetables and things like that that senator brown of for the last farm bill and the setting up private programs to see if we can't restructure that so people that live in low-income areas have opportunities to offer health care foods so it has to be pervasive. for things on the meal, part of our bill is the meal act that i worked on with senator burkowski and others were longtime, the national restaurant association signed off and we had an agreement so that every chain restaurant will have total amount of calories for every single item have. and if you're someone who is watching their sodium intake are fat intake you can ask that the counter i would like to know what the total new tranquillity is of this item number the they have to present you in written form. doesn't have to be on the menu board but they have to have it available in

all of a sudden the effect of low level goes away. only by essentially finding this trove of documents and reading the study was i able to figure this out. a number of attorneys had read it but they never put two and two together. this is the sort of thing you see more and more and more of. we publish this and of course by the end, osha pulled back instead of pushing for a 1 microgram standard raise the to five and gave the-- level 25 so and that this of minister eshing can go on record as never issuing import and health standards on chromium. that is one set of issues around doing these. be the thing i want to talk about is the interpretation of studies. in some ways this is more insidious and i will make the case here that scientists with an interest can't be trusted to provide a reasonable interpretation of scientific data and i talk about this all for the buck and we have it all under web site. let's talk about vioxx. the government knows-- biax was approved by the fda in 1999. when you go back and look at this you can see in the

i believe that the high and capability can go low but below and can go high all the time -- the low end ken gough hi all the time. we have seen the reach of the destroyer to rescue captain phillips. that is a good investment that we have. we see demand from our combatant commanders for increased maritime ballistic missile defense, increased numbers of submarines, and increased intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. as i mentioned before, for us, flexibility while we are deployed and while we are spread is very important. when the situation develops, you do not go home to get your gun. you have to be there ready to respond with the kit to that you have and the training that you have provided your sailors before they go forward. the challenges to get to way structure that can service the world that we are going to live in is going to be challenging. there is no question about that. it is going to require solutions that give our sailors the advantage in any fight. i often say that i never want an american sailor in a fair fight. they always have to be in the advantaged position. as

promise of coverage, of medicare, they can't find a doctor to see them because medicare rates are so low that many physicians -- for example, where i live in austin, texas, only 17% of physicians will see a new medicare patient because reimbursement rates are so low. so medicare is hardly the model. we need to fix medicare, yes, but we don't need to take the current broken system and blow it up and make it the system for 300 million people and consider this we've done our job. i mention that the $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities. it's estimated that medicare will go insolvent in the year 2017 unless we do something about it. in fact, many beneficiaries of medicare know that it's inadequate alone, so they buy supplemental policies. medicare forces many providers, as i mentioned, to limit the number of patients they accept because reimbursement rates are so low. and then here's another part of why medicare is a bad model. "the washington post" estimates that $60 billion of taxpayer money is stolen or wasted or lost to fraud in medicare each year. surely, we need to fix that problem. sen

he just kept missing low. so it's not like he was all over the place. >> rob: his best game of the season by far was against st. louis, the complete game, and he changed eye level throughout the game. fastballs all the way up the ladder. lately it's been a lot of this. throwing in that nice little box, the shoe box, and not really expanding the zone too much. not up or down. >> bob: that's right on the inside corner, it appeared, and he doesn't get the call from doug eddings. >> jim p.: doug, i think he's still -- how do you not call that pitch a strike? wow. >> bob: if you can't get that, it's tough to pitch up here. >> jim p.: if bard was hitting low and away and had to reach back across the plate, but it was right to the glove. >> bob: he gets him low. had the left-hander reaching, aubrey huff 0 for 1 with a walk in the first inning. for martis, his third strikeout. the hitter will be nolan reimold with two outs. >> rob: i spoke with bob boone the other day, the vice president in charge of player developmen

as president bush's approval ratings at the time of the iraq war at its low point. you know, when he went to go negotiate the future of the country. there just aren't many people who have the political courage. he knew that when camp david was over either he had to call it election, referendum, you know, recently give up at the end of this process. and he was way out on the limb so he was a soldier decorated, you know, willing to take great risks. he believes -- whenever i showed the polls, he knew he had to bring the people, he faced an early election. but we never pulled him on purpose reflecting what the public was. it was simply how can we get to the argument that people will support this kind of big total agreement. that's unprecedented. what is the strongest argument for getting there. it was all just about, you know, how to get there. now he also had, he would also talk about what it was like, he had trained with the french military -- >> host: share some of his war heroes because i think there is this little opportunity in this country and a large democracie

but we are a high-quality, low- cost state. so there are other variations that are much more significant, based on the evidence i have seen. host: laura on the democratic line from denver, colorado. caller: i have a question about health care. i have been with kaiser permanente for 11 years. in november when the switchover of everything going on, they were going to george three-time is the amount, and it went about doubled each month so i had to quit after 11 years. so i am wondering when they say you get to keep the insurance that you have, that is really not true. and i would like to know which country does this work in? guest: first, let me say that nothing under the legislation we are working on an house, sort of unprecedented effort where you have three committees working hand and glove literally with the members, the leadership, and staff producing -- nothing in that would prevent you from keeping the insurance that you have. the president says, and i happen to agree, and it cannot deny people who are happy and satisfied

that will be taken down low. one ball, one strike count. >> jim: the one thing that feliciano does since nobody on, a lot of times he won't even come set. so, he almost though he's from the stretch position which means he's sideways to home plate, he doesn't stop his hands. it's not a balk. if it was a runner on, it would be f you're trying to time him, it's just another little nuance that makes him more effective. let's see if he actually pauses. yeah, he does this time. sometimes he won't. >> gary: 1-2 delivery will miss inside. orioles offense which had such a dreadful first days of june came back against atlanta over the weekend with eight runs saturday and 11 on sunday. being held to two so far in this ballgame. two runs on five hits by pelfrey, green and now feliciano. 2-2 delivery rides inside. that slernl keep you honest as a left-handed hitter. that will gain your attention. >> jim: then, he'll throw that sweeping breaking ball in any count. i'm not sure he'll throw with a 6-2 lead. 239 if the game is on

i was just in such a low place and really struggling financially. there were a number of times our power would be cut off or we just didn't have enough money to go and buy more milka or more bread and it was making do with what you had, those kinds of lessons like my grandparents had to suffer through during the depression. it wasn't that i felt so sorry for myself but i really didn't know who i could vent on. i could not burden my mother with that. she would worry too much. i didn't feel like there was anyone i could talk to about just these kind of overwhelming issues that really haunting me. so i called a suicide hotline because i thought i could be anonymous and just event, and cry and be angry and all of those things and then be done with it. when that gal on the other line realized, you are not going to hurt yourself? oh gosh no, i would never do that. >> host: not in the middle of a campaign. >> guest: i could not say who i was because that would be in the paper. i just needed to be anonymous and fans. she was ill little annoyed with me, like

i believe that the high end capability can go low, but the low end can't go high. all the time. we saw the range of the guided missile destroyer from providing ballistic missile defense to rescuing captain phillips. that's a pretty good spread and a pretty good investment and versatile investment that we have. but we see demands from our combatant commanders for increased maritime ballistic missile defense and increased intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. and as i mentioned before, for us flexibility while we're deployed, while we're spread globally is very important because when a situation develops, you don't go home to get your gun. you have to be there ready to respond with the kit that you have and the training that you have providing your say -- provided your sailors before they go forward. the challenges to get to a force structure that can service the world that we're going to live in is going to be challenging. there's no question about that. it's going to require solutions that give our sailors the advantage in any fight. i often say that i never want a ame

mostly because the reimbursement rates are so low. the government program is cheaper, but it doesn't allow you to get any health care. it's like giving you a bus ticket, but there's no bus to catch. and so what we choose to do in our plans is to expand the medicaid program at an enormous cost to state taxpayers and -- a big increase to the federal debt. we'll be dumping low-income americans into government programs that exist, and new programs we create for which they might not be able to gain admission -- or to which they might not gain admission. so we have better ideas, we think. they're in the wyden-bennett bill which is bipartisan. they're in the burr-coburn bill. they're in the legislation introduced by senator gregg of tphafplt they're in the legislation that senators hatch and cornyn are working on. we would like to give dollars to low-income americans so they can choose to buy an insurance policy and have the same kind of coverage that most of the rest of us can buy. we would rather give them choices in the private market whi

exposures an excellent study looking at four facilities and finding in fact, low levels of exposure their life was six micrograms per year. little higher than a level at issue was -- osha was talking about and people at higher levels, above six has twentyfold excess risk. this is a while finding but not surprising we know is a powerful carcinogen but here's an industry claiming you cannot move forward because you do not know the steady but they had the study and sat through 11 days of hearing with ocean never mentioning it existed. so the research group who was originally filing a petition with the bush assented been so they would put all of this information into the dock it and they said thank you very much did not affect their conclusions but then a second study came out paid for by the chromium industry a german cohort that includes a one cancer risk is elevated only in the high exposure group and we put them together what has happened was the industry had taken the old study which showed the very powerful effect of the regulatory interest close to the level osha would regulate t

low reimbursement rates and, frankly, that's how medicare and medicaid try to deal with costs -- they cut payments to providers, hospitals and doctors, below the otherwise market rate. these low reimbursement rates reduce patient choice and increase in wait times for physicians that they see. many providers, as you know, i'm sure the distinguished occupant of the chair in his state, we know many doctors are not taking new medicare patients and new medicaid patients because of low reimbursement rates are a problem. each year congress has to come back and reverse the cuts to physician payments under the medicare sustainable growth rate formula and those cuts, unless we act to reverse them, will cut physician payments by 20% this january. according to the "the washington post," last fall, taxpayers also pay up to $60 billion a year in fraudulent claims on medicare. so in addition to being fiscally unsustainable, in addition to rationing we have $60 billion in fraud and waste in the medicare program -- hardly a model for medicare for all or a government-run option. well, medicaid has even

i think we want low income individuals to have opportunities that are a lot like with the rest of us have and we want people to have choices. those companies close to what we can agree on so we agree on all these things and we reform the insurance market that much so why do we need to create a so-called government run insurance plan? that is the big difference of opinion here. i think. people say, well, what's the problem with government-run option? it sounds pretty sensible to me. many of us think that inevitably leads to a washington takeover of health care. why is that? is like putting an elephant in the room with some -- and saying all right feliz competes and after a few days what is left. the elephant is all that's left, the miser crashed and you have an elephant. that is your only option or to take another example, some taken along and said i don't like what is left of the u.s. auto industry is doing. to give them on us let's have a government run a car company. less by the press at general motors, all 100% and let's have a government car and will make it the right size and th

do you think the minimums are too low? for downtime as well as other training and other issues -- do you think they are too low and need to be raised up? >> i assume you are talking about flight and duty time now. i think they are probably appropriate. no. 2, we made a commitment at the faa's action on monday to enter into a science based study to determine whether or not they are currently opprobrium or not. there has been a recent proceeding on all prolong flying that the faa has done that was science base. plenty of skilled people available to do that. we probably ought to incorporate the issue of commuting. we ought to incorporate that into the process. we would strongly endorsed a process being established by faa to look at flight and duty time, current standards, how they might differ for regionals with lots of takeoffs and landings versus long haul. all that needs to be put on the table. >> if you could be very quick on the response. >> we believe there has been enough study. we are ready to move forward with it. we

. >> next, a discussion on summer learning and low-income students. this is about a half an hour. learning. tell us how much information do children lose over the summer by not being in school, not going to the library and not keeping up with their studies? >> they lose quite a bit. guest: in fact research shows young people experience serious setbacks in academic performance during the summer when they take a long break. for lo-income kids they lose big in summer reading. they accumulate and contribute significantly to the achievement gap. it's not just an issue for low-income kids in fact for all kids they experience setbacks in skills like math come putation and spelling. so what the research shows very clearly and on this particular issue is that young people face significant setbacks and risks during summer months. host: tell us a little more about the national center for summer learning and what your grouch is trying to do to close this gap. guest: sure, we work with summer providers to make sure youngsters have enriching and memorable summers. a lot of us have this outlook

we are on low threshold -- how wonderful it would be. we need to put more money in basic science and translation of science, we need science to be cool. we need to get health care reform. if we do that we will have a great day. >> i am feeling better already. summary remarks, you are an optimistic guy. 10 years from now where do you think you are going to be? >> i am a social scientist. we were picked because we do different stuff. i am looking forward to the success of the jenna mix revolution. we see the effect of the environment much more clearly when you can understand the genetics. >> hard to know what is environmental and what is genetic. when we see the genetic effects, we will be able to study the interaction that we will see what the environmental contribution is in a clear way. it turns out that that is 50% of what is going on. then we will get to the next step, between discovering the perfect way of doing things and getting it to be done perfectly. the iron lung example, for a number of years, as soon as people had a baby, the

got him with a breaking ball that appeared down low.ifully, and strikeout number one for olsen. >> rob: he missed up high with a breaking ball, then pulled down, then he felt it. and he pulls down on it. more of a slider than a curveball. i think that's his change-up. been a while since we watched him pitch. it was straight. beautiful, it was down though. and the breaking ball, maybe he doesn't have a great breaking ball tonight. wasn't able to pull down on it about four pitches into that at- bat. but came back and got the strikeout. >> bob: here is cody ross the centerfielder. >> rob: you heard what steve said in the interview early before the game. i don't want strikeouts, i want outs. that's the way they have to think. i need a double play, it's one pitch. you have to think like a guy that's just trying to get his offense back out there. >> bob: you and mccatty on that interview, you guys, pardon me, i'm getting all choked up thinking about it. >> rob: are you okay? >> bob: you guys sounded like a couple of professional announcers in

risk and even in california frankly very low rest both historically and otherwise and i think over time and that will be realized he mack the only other thing i would say is it is not easy, as i remember the federal reserve really can't do that legally. i thank you need congress to act to provide the right and i would just say in the average and in terms of broadly congress is not pushing it forward. >> our next question, please go ahead and. >> [inaudible] >> our next question is from lisa jann from abc news. >> thanks, my question has to do with the recovery act and the state's fiscal spending with respect to which you talked a little bit about now even with the recovery act the decline has gone up, i think a little bit more about how the recovery act impacted in medicaid and education, where we're seeing specifically how that has helped? >> okay, as i mentioned, those two programs represent about 135 billion. is the only flexible money that is their. and what is allows states to do particularly in the medicaid because it is also the medicaid money retroactive to october as i remember

on short-term debt instruments -- of a more or whatever -- those interest rates are still rather low because people are panicked over the economic situation. they were afraid to put their money in the stock market so they but the treasury bills and other people around the world did, too. they're not getting much interest but they feel like the government will pay them back in dollars eventually. but what has been happening to the ten-year treasury bill, one of the foundations of our borrowing. that rate has continued to go up. so two weeks ago i pointed out that the ten-year treasury yields had increased 54% this year at that time from 2.4% in january to 3.7%. a financial publications predict add few weeks ago that treasury yields -- quote -- "could top 4% this year." well, guess what? treasury yields topped 4% this week! well, last week it was. "the wall street journal," in a front page article on june 11 said that the ten-year treasury yield briefly hit 4% yesterday afternoon before closing at 3.94%. that would be a 67% increase in the treasury bill interest rate just this year. so
