in my own life i'm a big drunk walker mabey. >> host: i'm not a pro yet. i'm still a much read walking. >> guest: so let's take the particular points you raised which are good ones. is it true maybe the people walking drunk are on average much more drunk and the people driving drunk and that number says if the exact same person with the same drunkenness switch from walking to driving the in the benefits would be -- the difference would be less. and that's possible. so again, go to the data and you might think of course there must be good data. the u.s. government keeps every fatal crash. it turns out they don't very often do the blood alcohol on the pedestrians because there's nothing illegal about walking drunk. but i think you are probably right. a very limited amount of data that we have the people walking drunk we do have higher blood alcohol levels than the people driving drunk. so that works in one direction may be making the 8-won an overstatement. on the other hand if you look where people are driving -- you probably think there's a lot of drunk

mabey not all the gift cards but what this that is a guilt inducing thing. get a gift, go ahead, you can have something nice for you can save some dying seal or whatever. but still, i think there would be a nice option. other options or thing i think kind of a solution would be charity gift cards. think back to the slide if it's still up there, charities and activity people like to do. it's a luxury activity. so if i were to give you a gift card that allows you to give to charity, so for example the charity navigation organization has this thing called the good card network for good if i give you of the cards you can go to the website and jews literally a million charities and get to give the money to one of those charities. so i am allowing you to act like a rich guy to engage in this looks reactivity of giving to charity. we are not destroying any value. you can all feel good about it paid so that feels like a nice solution. better than buying a portable object nobody wanted. but for the more, money gifts to charity, charitable recipients are not going to

this administration and proud of the administration as we begin to see the efforts of crack edge lit mabey be clear we work in partnership with the responsibilities are to be the advocates and the changemakers in the united states congress. we are writing legislation. our job is to make sure the legislation that gets to the president's desk response to the degradation and crisis in our community. it is a crisis is a peaking crisis and no one should leave here without knowing that we are in a crisis. our community is bleeding. and we are the worst hit, the old adage. someone has a cold we have got h1n1 dewey we are not going to cease like our sleeves, and i will say this, as you help those that are latinos and african-americans you help poor whites and appalachian because it has to do with the targeted on employed and the underemployed. we have an additional issue of, of course. a high percentage of sex offenders. people who have done their time and paid for the crime seven, ten, 45 years and they want to simply provide for their families. our caucuses has to consider those responsibilities

i guess there's a number of mabey states that should have stickers so that the american people can see where these special deals were cut out and the american people, the majority of the population of this country can see where they were not and they are going to pay more while those states payless because not just their location but because they happen to be behind closed doors and cut special deals. >> mr. president on wonder if i can enter this colloquy very briefly. i thank the center. >> i ask unanimous consent. >> without objection so ordered. >> i just want to point out do the senators no flexible that under the underlying legislation the government would pay all costs newly eligible enrollees' through 2016. that is in this legislation we are talking about the so-called expansion population. that is those between 100% of poverty and medicaid and the 133% of poverty medicaid and under the underlying statute all -- speed let me ask the senator does that mean all these states are being treated the same? >> it means through 2016 of these states are treated the same. >> this happens

guest: people voted not to pay taxes and california, which had the best schools in the country now mabey has the worst three >> host: joy hakim is the guest the next two and a half hours and now it is your chance to ask questions. brad monroe, new hampshire you are first up, please go ahead. >> thank you. i want to thank you, ms. hakim. i can tell you as a parent of two children that have been through the public schools and for our school board member, on a, like you, don't want to put words in your mouth but i have just about -- i have been appalled at the lack of teaching of u.s. history in elementary schools. i can tell you as a child, i was born in 1962, i mean i'm an american history buff, but my father would say things such as i shall return and i would allow douglas macarthur or my dad would say we have nothing to fear but fear itself and i would yell roosevelt. history was all around us whether at school or home, especially american history. and i guess what bothers me is my job is taking me into an awful lot of schools in the rural areas, and you would be hard pressed today to f

mabey your followers cannot find or even attempt to find response. however, i find myself on long list of persons that are not afraid to respond. you act this way because you are a cruel man, and insensible to the pan suffering of others. to act this way because you are faithful to your anti-democratic and dictatorial vocation. because you are convinced that dictatorships like the one you preside over can only be maintained through terror and torture and because the most minimal opening can lead to the loss of the one thing that you are interested in, which is maintaining yourself in power. last, and this is him speaking now, mr. antunez, referring to my case in particular i will respond without even asking you before and the concrete road if of your continued repression against my person. my government and your servants and the court cannot forgive my two biggest and only crimes. first, that despite almost two decades of torture and cruel and inhumane punishment during my on jos and severe sanction you could not break my dignity and my position as

she's here, will be made available and we will have hearings with her and others involved in pakistan, mabey petraeus. my understanding is we are trying to set up mcchrystal and general eikenberry does next week; is that correct? >> senator corker, that is correct. and we've would certainly make any witness available. we might want to suggest that you plan a short public hearing and a longer classified hearing. i think that would be very useful to get at a lot of the issues that both senator lugar and chairman and carey have raised. >> think if we are going to have a classified briefing would be great a station chief in pakistan would be very brief to the cuban officials that they could all make this decision. we will likely set a public hearing with ann patterson who is an outstanding ambassador and knows what is happening in that area. you can't help but be in afghanistan and know that part of what is driving what we are doing there is just the inertia. the fact that we are there the we are loath to lead before success with, whatever that means. and the fact we are trying to prove to pakis
