would never walk out a free man. we went back to the district attorney office and we had champagne and we toasted the system, because i am the victim and i was in pain and ronald cotton deserved to rot in prison and die there. life went on. i graduated. i didn't graduate with a 4.0, but i graduated. i didn't marry my boyfriend, we couldn't weather the storm. i did marry another man that i met later that spring. i moved, i got a job, was working in the bank, and in 1987, the appellate court overturned the decision. you see, they thought that the appellate court should know that the second victim had not been able to make an identification and perhaps if the second victim hadn't made an identification, then the first victim could have been mistaken and it's possible, but we knew that was wrong. and then they also had this like other person, bobby pool, who apparently had confessed to a cellmate that he had done the crime ronald cotton was in prison for, but we also know that they lie, so i wasn't concerned at all. 1987

john adams was a complex, complicated man. and to make him a kind of a plaster image it's sort of doing what i'm doing at 15 looking for an idol. that's the equivalent of that. and you can't -- you know, you shouldn't try to do that. and, of course, there will be many more books. you know, samuel johnson died, there was a rash of books. we all remember boswell because he wrote the great book and that's the book that lasted but there is there were hester frail and there was this friend and that friend and, you know, everybody wanted to get out there and they wanted to get out there because they knew that a great man had left their midst. and they all had a take on it. and they wanted to get down. so, you know, two books -- there'll be 10 by this time next year. do we have time for -- how am i doing on questions here? time for more? okay. i think i got the hi sign. the concerto will play. i think we're done. [applause] >> there are books for sale right outside. it's a great book. >> thanks. >> richard brookhiser is a senior edit

>> well, he was a very beautiful man. he was one of the very greatest man who ever lived.o study him in detail, like to study lincoln or washington, churchill once wrote and described how maror won his battles. it becomes a commentary, in my opinion. he says the mere aspiring actor type of character only shows his hopeless inferiority. nothing but genius can answer the riddles of war. because genius is more rare than the rest interest of diamonds, morris are mainly tales of mettles. that is like the thematic sentence in plato's republic. churchill is an example of a very great soul meant to lead in politics. >> are you from originally? >> arkansas. i was born in the panhandle of texas. my dad was working for phillips petroleum. he went to college, which was an enormous but back in his family, but they work arkansas people. he decided to become a schoolteacher and move back to arkansas. i grew up where he taught most of his life and live until he died in pocahontas, ark.. >> ready to go to college? >> i went to arkansas state university, the local place. i decided with thre

his view is, a man with decades of experience, and credentials, ph.d.'s and credentials in meteorology, says, no, global -- deciding that mankind's human actions are maersking more hurricanes is false and there's no evidence of that. well, and then what else do we hear? we hear name calling. i was on a television show recently where they called me a tragulite. maybe that's the word. that i'm anti-science and that i'm bigoted in some way. . i kept presenting evidence about global warming but all i got was name calling. case closed. and anybody who disagrees with us is a low-life who doesn't believe in science. can you imagine, moving forward on an honest discussion about man-made global warming and being discussed and then after discussing four, five issues on science, not having those arguments answered and instead having my religion questioned. dismissing, rather than answering legitimate challenges to the man-made global warming theory is par of the course. standard operating procedures. case closed. standard operating procedures. no questions. no gran

one of the things about smirnov was the man he was really an extraordinary marketer. when he began making his broadcast in the 1860's there were literally thousands of vodka makers in russia and at the time there were no protections for brands and was likely were going to advertise because most people were illiterate and you couldn't really make flashing labels. that was very expensive and smirnov didn't have the money to do that anyway, but what he did do and it now was his customers. he had been a serve himself and he knew what kinds of things people responded to. it is a very early on in his career as a vodka maker smirnov went to a place in moscow, the catch rauf markets and it was one of the snowiest grandest most disgusting places in all of moscow. people would it serve a, try to sell ron food there and keep it warm by ad soliciting on the pots the food was then, that is how the cap the food warm. and one of the journalists at the time called it a moving abroad and picked so you can imagine what this place was like a smirnov when there because people also came t

but harry is also a brilliant man and a brilliant historian, and his -- the point of his life is that the declaration of independence is the central document of the american revolution, and, therefore, of american history, and i have to say, the more i have read about that period confirms what harry argues. and i tell a story of a lunch that bill invited me to he was going to meet harry, and we got there first, and harry comes in a little late, but bill had said, in passing in a column, that if george iii had captured george washington he would have been justified in hang him as a rebellious subject, and harry started in before he even sat down. bill, if he is in -- and before the salad came he had bill saying, you're right, harry, i was wrong to say that. that's harries relentlessness, and also his grasp of a very important point about american history, which was dramaized in the civil war where of course lincoln embraces jefferson and the confederacy specifically repudiates him, and so the issue -- this is the vice president of the confederacy. gives a speech where he says the found

i'm not a big fan even of the five-man rotation. i would not mind going back to the four-man rotation but that would take decades to develop pitchers to do that. >> bob: decades, lawsuits. here is mike macdougal, no save situation tonight. but i think manny made the point that, when scott olson gets back and getting closer, there will be one pitcher sent to aaa. it will not be because that particular pitcher did not do well here. >> rob: and i have no problem with that. you put some chips into scott olson, bringing him here. you could even have scott olson basically you a dig for a trade but your future, you have so many great young pitchers in this organization, you are not hurting one of them by sending them back and possibly ending their season when the minor league ends september 1st. >> bob: 1 ball and no strikes to millar. fastball, guzman charging for that last hop. one out. raul chavez, 1-for-3. and a remoonedder that joe inglett will bat after that. he came in on the double switch to bat 9th. >> rob: we talked about there w

he is the man. he is a very great man. he is a wonderful human being, and a friend of mine today. i met my wife working in his house. she is still my wife after all that time. when i first met him, i notice in the clip he is a younger man than he is now, but he is still great. >> what is the connection between winston churchill and hillsdale college? >> after i went to hillsdale, he and i had preserved our friendship for a long time now, and i have proof read his books off and on for decades. i see him when i go over there. when he came to america, he would come to claremont and spend an extra day. >> where is claremont? >>it is outside los angeles, in southern california. we have a big history department. teaching history at hillsdale is our big thing. it is our largest department, which almost no college can say. he came to visit, and he was there over the weekend of september 11, 2001. he was there on that day. we got to talking, and i told him about an ambition i had. i want to see the great biography of churchill completely finished. i worked on it. he has been working on it

you're a free man. you can go home and it was just -- it was the most joyous moment in my life in a long time. i was able to hug my mother, which i wasn't able to do in 11 years and feel the touch of my other brothers and sisters and as time went on, i stepped outside the courtroom. i looked up in the sky and i said lord, why do i go from here, because i had all this freedom and did not know what to do with it, but i enjoyed that freedom, that moment, that day, that particular time. right now, that's my story. i'll turn it over. [applause] >> ok. wow. i want to tell you, i want to thank on behalf of everybody here, every activist, every other exonoree, everybody new to this movement, old to this movement, thanks for the inspiration that you both provide. thank you very, very much. [applause] now who has some questions? we've got a microphone up here that. i also want you all to know, there's a camera back here. they're from c-span, they're filming, they've assured me we're going to go on about 4:30 a.m.

. >> bob: oh, man, does he cover some ground! how far is he? he's running in from eft dead left field right now. willie harris, you are awesome! @@ >>> well come whack to welcome back to nationals park. willie harris with that catch in the ninth. set to bring you nats "nats xtra". they have one final shot to run the winning streak to three in a row. >> they might go into extra innings too. they have to get bat off the shoulder. >> we've had lots and lots of thrills from this ball club let's send you back to bob and rob and see if nats can win in in regulation in the last of the ninth. >> bob: johnny, that would be sweet, because after regulation it has been ugly. nationals 0-8 -- >> rob: you had to say that! >> bob: i'm jinxing it. i cannot win with you. >> rob: i tell you what. if you could get bug spray up here, you could win with me. >> bob: all right. the guys you would like to have up there, johnson, zimmerman and dunn in the bottom of the ninth against jeremy accardo out for his second inning. >> rob:

i did not think it is man-made, is my only point. and i think it is the height as -- of hubris to control when any narrow bands what god wants to do with the world and all the natural cycles of the world work. i think we all need to do a lot more. reading about the science of that before we conclude that it is man-made that we have global warming. in fact, as one caller mentioned, we may start to have another cooling trend. it is easy to say there is warming after a little ice age. we need to do more research instead of taking what we read in " the new york times" or off of cnn as gospel truth because it becomes emotional. we all want to belong to something. it is a great instinct want to help the world, save the world, but the same guy who led this effort is the same guy who told us we would actually have an ice age that in the late 1970's. he has a little bit of a credibility issue with me. i think the point is you've got to make sure that you end up being very, very paced before the site is completely decided. put you may recall t

the nationals have had their leadoff man on three of the last five innings. the rbi man is next. he did the right thing by not tossing the bat just yet. see buckner. there's been very little debate about his strike zone út%%- willie strikes out. >>> things a little quiet here. nats have one hit since the third inning. they got two in the 6th last time, first time in ages they scored in the second half of the ball game. josh bard levels off and singles. the nats need hits, base runners. belliard three for 17 with a pinch-hit -- a change-up that dipped down into the dirt. top of the order coming up, a good time to get a hit with a man already on base, and there's 80 feet of hitting room on the right side. belliard pulls it third baseline. low throw, and they turn it around the horn 5-4-3. another inning ending double play for the blue jays. their second in a row. ♪ ♪ ♪

the judge then dismissed the charges and a stun jennings left the courthouse a free man. he later said quote, walking out of the courtroom for a while as a liberation i had never anticipated. it didn't happen in our society, he went to jail for the sort of thing. and i was so numb for some time it finally began to dawn on me that we did have a victory. the newspapers did little to cover the trial so the mattachine distributed a flier to l.a. that proclaimed the victory, the flyers' dave jennings credit for the aggressive fight for their stance against being -- that being a homosexual and not necessarily make one prone or guilty to lewd or dissolute behavior. and the fire pointed out that this is a victory for everyone, heterosexuals as well as homosexuals, since both were potential victims of an chatman to. the committee asked for donations to continue the legal fight and asked that checks be made possible -- payable to blank and they sent in care of the mattachine foundation inc. in los angeles. the controversial case drew local and eventually national attention as matta

, the current man. journalistically speaking, many of the interviews that have been on television and other media for chris's book, have, in my view, come out rather negatively on film, because the excerpts so often -- there is danger. i only read one review of your book coming about and it had some emphasis on the-. accentuate the positive was a song from world war ii. as one reviewer said, chris's book, the last half where he acknowledges how much bill was tight. not that we have to be, but in understanding, let's not go with the journalism book, and so on, but i just want to remind us, i would like to say that you and chris are brilliant bookends in acknowledging bill's greatness. >> thank you for that complement. journalists do what they do. i know what they do, in the right circumstances i'd do it myself. but also, i found this when writing about people of the past, i found this most strongly with the atomses. if i have a quarrel with the john adams revival which is a huge thing, let's not sugarcoa

this is not man-to-man. this is avoiding that and executing as best you can.nderson is out. because the first false start effects everyone. we now have a seven-man field. usain bolt is ready to run. next to him is sean crawford. he's said he too has his eye on the london olympics. down to a field of 7. set again for the men's 100 meters. >> bolt is off quickly. in lane 3, ivory williams trying to hold on. but here comes usain bolt. and the world's fastest man blazes through the finish. unofficially, the time is 9.25 seconds, and usain bolt does not disappoint in tront toe. >> so for sure, the clock has frozen early. that would be beyond a world record. so it is 10 seconds flat for usain bolt. so the timing misfires, but the official time is now 10 seconds for usain bolt. ivory williams second. bernard williams his third. foresight finishes fourth. >> you see the bolt pull up. will we ever see him go all out in a 100 meters? is. >> i think only if there is a lot on the line, and by some crazy happennen stance somebody is near him. >> he took a quick look at the

this man to go defend us in iraq? i mean in afghanistan. i am without words to understand -- to try to explain my consternation at the fact that general mcchrystal, one of our most eminent, prominent, outstanding qualified soldiers, a man whose father won five silver stars; a man whose record is one of being the leading person in our military to do counterinsurgency. that's what he's an expert at doing. let's get the man approved tonight so he can go, leave, on an airplane to get over there and take care of the men and women. i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: corner tomorrow. he was a great player. he had a setback last year. he was playing well early. and if he had that surgery, i am anxious to see what he has left in the cannon. he had a pretty good arm as we know. >> the minnesota vikings have 4 quarterbacks on their roster. taveras jackson played well last season. sage rosenfels played 6 games and neither flynn or john day of the booty have-- john david booty have taken 1 s

you my man. thanks, vernon. >> bob: he caught that ball before he got there because of the jump. >> rob: yeah, right off the crack of the bat. if it's off the end of the bat, you have no chance. he timed that perfect. >> bob: here is adam dunn. rolen playing up the middle in case they get a ground ball up the bag. that's not a ground ball, but it's way foul. all right. look who ends up with it. it's beach bash night. she could have worn that outfit to the beach and got a baseball. nice. adam dunn, 1-2 with a base hit up the middle. cubs, by the way, won that game against cleveland 8-7, so another one for the national league today. cubs scored a run in the 10th to win it. derek lee hit two homers today. adam dunn off the end of the bat. scott rolen drifting over for it. he'll catch a foul ball after running about 100 feet for that, two outs. nats were supposed to see roy halladay tonight, and, rob, are you glad they didn't? >> rob: i did want to see roy pitch, but not against our team. look at tha

if man makes it, man must be decontrolled. that is why it was important to steamroll over anybody who asks questions. they want nobody to ask questions about their theory about man-made global warming because they believe people need to be controlled. that is part of their theory of government. it will make a whole new been eff lent world. the american government, the international mandates from unelected bodies that we will then pass on power and authority to, which is supported by many of the people right here in this congress. for example, you can face in the future -- we're going to face mandates and controls from the federal government and from the international scene. some of these would be, for example, mandated increases in parking fees. did they tell you that now? all your local communities are going to have to raise the parking fees. and there will be jor impedements to the private use of automobiles. and they have frequent flyer miles and end that and because airplanes -- no one has been telling you this, because th

bruce reed is an idea man's idea man. he possesses a rare blend of brilliance, humor and humility. to be honest, after his eight years in the white house, i never thought i could lure him back to the d.l.c. he was harder to recruit than bill clinton. but i always believed bruce was the person who lead the d.l.c. into a new era and i couldn't be more delighted that he is doing so. thank you, bruce, for giving the d.l.c. a great future, and you are going to make the d.l.c. an important source of new democrat ideas for president obama. [applause] >> the last 14 years have been a blessing for me and i'm not going to detail every one of them. the d.l.c. has far exceeded any dreams that i could have had for it we hen we began. you have heard plenty of that tonight so i won't talk about that. what i want to say a few words about are about some of beliefses and values that -- some of the beliefs that figuid me that i hope the d.l.c. will continue to reflect under bruce's leadership. firsters call me old fashioned but i still believe that substance matters. that values and ideas matter. i b

the british soldiers also minded and they said were ago it can go a man can go and where a man can go he can hold up a gun so bring some cannons up there. the next day the americans will cut and saw these redcoats dancing shooting cannonballs into the water and when they started landing in to the fort they realized we have to evacuate because we are dead ducks. so, they marched down the hudson trying to run away and they put kosciuszko in charge of covering the rear and for kosciuszko to slow down the troops cut down trees to cover the roads. he also ruled boulders to the stream so they would flood the roads and as a result, it took the british 20 days to travel 22 miles because the blocked roads. so kosciuszko earned a reputation of having as the -- you look the terrain and in fingertips feel where the can and should be and where you should need your stand. the americans looked out because they were going to be attacked from three sides. general howe will changed course and attacked philadelphia. the british work repeled off the west so the americans only had to deal with the general

he hit the cut-off man. >> bob: i had some conversations with and di van slyke. he always told me the harder you work before the ball gets there, the easier it is once you have it in your hands. he was a big proponent of charging hard on base hits and fly balls, and not all guys do that. >> rob: when and di van slyke who was a gold glover would throw the ball, he would fall forward and almost do a summer salt. he would put so much behind the throw. you got to have momentum coming forward as an outfielder. >> bob: he also told me, he whistled at barry bonds and tried oh get him to move in two steps just before the cabrera hit that put the braves in the world series. bonds might have been able to get that runner at home. the speedster, sid breem. here's belliard flying one right-field line, twisting and turning away from aubrey huff and bouncing in for strike two. >> jim p.: it's kind of an interesting thing. dave winfield who is in the hall of fame, he said the reason he teaches, not only his son but young players to catch the ball with two hands is that if you do

nor particularly it came down to the man who landed here. those who now rest in this place for eternity, and those who are with us here today. perhaps more than any other reason, you, the veterans of america are why we still remember what happened on d-day. you are why we keep coming back. for you remind us that in the end, human destiny is not determined by forces beyond our control. you remind us that our future is not shaped by chance or circumstance. our history has always been the sum total of the choices made and actions taken by each individual man and woman. it has always been up to us. you could have done what hitler believed you would do when you arrived here. in the face of a merciless assault from these clips, you have all the boats offshore, made a brush of bullets that lit the night sky. you could have hit in the hedgerows were way behind the sea wall -- or waited behind the sea wall. but that is not what you did. that is not a story you told on d-day. your story was written by men like zane who parachuted into a dark marsh far

i was also a dog bites man. were plenty of young people even in the late 60s who were conservative or simply not liberal, but they were not the young people you saw on television, or in most magazines or newspapers. the archetypal young people in major media, whether admire or feared, were idealistic liberals, radicals or copulating druggies, heroes, rebels or freaks. here, said the editors of national review, was a kid, a high school freshman, who speaks for the and scene. there was one more reaction to the peace, the most important of all. a blue 3 x 5 card, with national review's name and address in bold, william f. buckley jr. editor, below that, in spindly red ink, a message, something like richard, congratulations, or rick, very nice. in time, i would learn that every contributor to every issue of national review got such a card from william f. buckley jr. which did not diminish its value, rather the reverse. the cards were a courtesy in a profession that often skipped courtesy. over the years, i saved man

he also has very good command for a young man 21 years old. ross detwiler is a man that's rights there in my mind with zimmerman, he is a power pitching left-hander, he has a lot of zip on his fastball, people have a tough time getting it up. you see that curve ball. that thing has no loop in it. it goes straight down if he is on top of it. it's 11 to 7, 11 to 5 from the other side, but he has gotten off to a decent stark, 6 bases on balls, 17 strikeouts. that's what i look at for young pitchers. he has thrown a lot of strikes. his earned run avenue is high but he came out of some ball games in the fifth inning when he had a lot of gas left. >> johnny quay company, the national's would like to get him going, and as for ross detwiler he is the guy we were talking about, sixth over all selection for the nats and you kind of dream about the future of zimmerman with two ns and strasbourg in the same lineup. >> you dream about it and then you see the possibility of reality. you know what makes it so exciting for me to the come to the ball park, eve

he's the man for me. a man of principle, integrity, candor, ladies and gentlemen, orrin hatch.l, thank you, jon and thanks to all of you for being here this evening. we're very grateful to you and grateful to have john voit here. that was quite a talk, wasn't it? i really enjoyed that. now, it's my privilege to introduce to you a very special performer. while some of have you seen him perform before, i would venture to say that all of you have heard him sing. tonight we are in for a real treat because all of us will get to see and hear him. known as america's tenor, this californian has been a featured soloist with orchestras across the nation as well as overseas. well, that's good. they have to brighten me up somehow. he has appeared many times at the dorothy chandler pavilion, the hollywood bowl as well as the academy award shows. he made his carnegie hall debut in 2006 at the world premiere of miss america can na. equally adept at performing classical and contemporary music this versatile singer has chosen to record demo tapes that were used by luciano pavarotti, placido dom

to man. this is a nation that was bought -- brought together as a nation, fought hard so that within this nation we could have civility. and one of the founding fathers' favorite lines was often to quote voltaire in saying, i disagree in what you say but i will defend to the death your right to say it. the criminal who invoked and created this violence in the holocaust museum should be properly punished. and i am thankful that we have laws that will punish him. i wouldn't mind seeing a death penalty as a possibility in a case of such violence, but in this town that apparently is not an option. but violence of this nature within this country must not be tolerated. but it also must not minimize the commitment, the love and devotion of officer stephen tyrone johns who gave his life in doing his job, in devotion to others and to this country and all it stands for. so we thank stephen tyrone johns. we thank his memory. we thank his family. and we will pray for their peace and healing during this v

then they talk about bill love of a black man for a black woman.they talk about barack obama and as he said, a girl, honey child, the way he looked at her when she walked away. [laughter] and they were saying that they wanted their black man to look at them with the same love and desire and affection and they said this and eroded as thoughjf they were writing to michelle obama. and they were saying to their partners come i want this from new so the whole new spin on the idea of black law of a black man loving a black woman and most importantly michelle obama that he could show unabashedly this love to 75,000 may be in denver but two billions of people around the world just as if no one was looking. that was one of the most powerful things for me. the other was that these women not only talked in their own voices but gave agency to the women who lived before them from others who have passed away, grandmothers, they revived the old names ofjf rosa parks and of the others i mentioned before. theyñr gave life and stories to me, it was an extraordinaryo

he was a man of his word and integrity and a man who believed in the constitution. and he told me, he said, when you go to congress, john, make sure that you protect the constitution. and in particular, the fact that we own the checkbook. we write the checks. we appropriate the money. we here in congress are responsible for the taxpayers' dollars. he was responsible for millions and millions of dollars coming back to the state of ohio, whether it was research in fuel cell technology or whether it was the first ladies' library that his wife had a brilliant idea to anchor in our state of ohio or funding for medical research that we're doing in our state, he was the leader and he believed in innovation and cre -- creativity. he was a man of get integrity and someone who obviously, as congressmanla turet said, would not be able to replace but certainly respect as his successor. and mr. speaker, at this time, i yield to the gentlelady from california, our speaker of the house of representatives, speaker pelosi. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is

"he's the man who won the war for us." well, my jaw just dropped at a statement like that from a source like that. c-span: here is a picture, by the way. what are these? >> guest: that's the higgins assembly line in new orleans. that's where they turned out the landing craft, and that's what he said. he said, "if andy higgins hadn't designed and built these landing craft, we never could have gone in over an open beach. i don't know how we ever would have gotten back into europe," he said. that got me very interested in mr. higgins, and we followed that up at the eisenhower center. i've had graduate students do various studies of the higgins boat yard, and one of them, jerry strahan, just this spring published a biography of andrew higgins. c-span: what did he have that was so special when he built those -- is this the lcvp that he built? >> guest: that's it, landing craft vehicle personnel. he had been building flat-bottomed boats for the exploration of the oil companies in the swamps of louisiana in the late 1930s, so he

>> guest: ian paisley is the man who -- many people say, is the man who you could pinpoint as being most responsible for keeping the troubles in northern ireland going these past 30 years. he's a fiery, brimstone preacher and politician. he leads the dup, the democratic unionist party, in northern ireland. "say no. say no to" -- he's the -- he's the man who says no. and when the good friday agreement was being mooted around the table at stormont castle, ian paisley showed his opposition to it by going to cameroon to preach the -- preach to the sinners. that's what he did. and i -- and i went with him. so -- so that was an odd week in cameroon, where ian paisley basically bullied everybody to make us like him more. c-span: and when you traveled with him, how many others were with you? >> guest: there was -- there was, i think, three of us. there was his translator, joseph, his driver, david mcilvaine, who's kind of the smithers to ian paisley's mr. burns, and -- and me. and it was an interesting -- i think it's an interesting look at how a fiery leader remains at the top of his pile. it's

and a younger man. i was a boy when it started. i was the youth if that word even existed anymore but i would have been called a youth than a younger man. and in a lot of ways i think it was love at first sight on both of our parts but as often happens with low that first sight, mistakes are made. and as i realized as i was reading this book that bill was looking for an error and i was looking for an idle. and neither of those qwest can ever really work and it will inevitably produce frustration and misunderstanding. and in our case some bumps along the road of romance. one year after i went to work for "national review", 1978, bill took me to lunch and said he will succeed me when i step down at age 65 in 1990. and you will own the magazine, you will be the second editor and here is the plan and the time table how we will bring this about. i was flabbergasted. i was thrilled but i was also stunned. so the plan seems to be go according to two plants and then nine years later 1987 i come back to my desk

man. so that's how i feel about it. host: woodbridge, virginia. caller: i'm very disappointed in the media, how they're more or less pushing obama to say something. i think he's taking the exact right course as to stay out of iran's business. we enough going on here in the united states. we don't have the most perfect election that's held here. and we need to clean that up. you have people talking about acorn and different things like that. and i think the president is doing marvelous. and we just need to give him time to work everything out. this country is in a great mess and it didn't happen overnight or 150 days. republicans, democrats, and independents just need to take a deep breath and let the president with his great intelligence straighten this country out. host: who in the media is pressing the president to say something? >> i look at wolf blitz and it seems it's a rampage from one station to the station. the president needs to say this or he needs to say that. then i watched on

he's a man of enormous distinction and achievement and strong feelings. i'm much more conservative republican than he is. but i'm, i guess what they call a big tent republican. you might say with regard to wilmington, wilmington before michael jordan became the most famous export from wilmington, the most famous one was my former colleague and much-missed friend david brinkley. host: also the city the government chose to test the digital transition. you wrote a very strong column about the president's speech in cairo. would you tell people what your concerns are with what you said? guest: the concern is that all presidents, but particularly this one, tend to think their personality is an irresistible force and there are a lot of immovable objects out there that won't find it irresistible. the president really occasionally echos a claim heard in this country in the 1930's, if we could just talk, just get to know one another, we could split the differences between us and harmony would break out. this is the old liberal belief that harmony is the natural con

i was also dog bites man. were plenty of young people even in the late '60s who were conservative or simply not liberal but they were not the young people you saw on television or in most magazines or newspapers. preponderance the arch typal young people the major media are idealistic liberals, hairy radicals or druggies. heroes, rebels or freaks. here said the editors of national review was a kid, a high school freshman no less, who speaks for the unseen. there was one more reaction to the piece, the most important of all. a blue 3x5 card with national review's name and address in bold and an italicized identifier, william f. buckley,, jr., editor. a message, something like, richard, nice going, congratulations. rick, thanks. in time i learned every contributor of every issue from national review got such a card from william f. buckley, jr. did not diminish its value, rather than the reverse. it was a courtesy and profession that often skipped courtesies. over the years i saved many such cards, a fraction of

a white man has as much chance for being convicted of killing a black man in mississippi for being convictedr hunting deer out of season, he gave speeches under the sponsorship of the naacp as wilkins arranged for these speeches. spoke to crowds of thousands as a result of this work, had california eagle called him the most hated and best-loved man in mississippi. he constantly pushed the argument in his speeches that more than two people were involved in the murder. it wasn't just the two. more than 50 years later we now know from an fbi investigation or at least it's been confirmed that, yes, more than two people were involved in the murder of emmett till. his speeches also criticize the fbi which is something a 1955, which you did not do very often. the fbi was at the height of its power. he so enraged j. edgar hoover that he wrote an open letter to howard which he released to the press which he called howard's charges baseless. this letter was the topic of editorials and nearly every black newspaper in the country which praised dr. howard and was a topic in virtually all the leading whit

and one man in his time will play many parts.an played his parts brilliantly with words and deeds. he inspired his countryno one great heights and inspired a great vision. we are honored to grab his likeness. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the republican leader of the united states senate the honorable mitch mcconnell. >> friends, fellow members of congress, trustees of the ronald reagan presidential foundation, mrs. reagan, today we celebrate a great man's life. and as we dedicate this statue we affirm that man's treasured place in our hearts and in our nation's storied history. many today are too young to remember what a difference he made. but rather than recite a history lesson, let me just say this. when america thought our best days lay behind us, ronald reagan showed they still lay ahead. when the world thought freedom was in retreat, ronald reagan proved that liberty was the strongest force in history. and when many thought freedom should negotiate with tyranny, ronald reagan had the courage to call tyranny by its na

the most pro-zionist congressman was a man from brooklyn. fierce zionist congressman and as soon as truman back steps or wouldn't take a position that the zionist were support, they would castigate him and that would drive him crazy and he constantly got the pressure from the zionist community. there's a good one in the lincoln and the abolitionist. he was not an abolitionists. they were not satisfied with lincoln. for many years they considered lincoln an enemy. and lo and behold including frederick douglass but years later frederick douglass said lincoln was a hero and he was a great man and a great emancipator even though he didn't do everything we wanted, his american politics and his reality of american politics and he was a great man who brought the nation forward. well, it's the same thing here. truman was not a zionist and he reacted zealously and it was relentless day in and day out. the reason why jacobson was so important -- if you look at the difference between the way rabbi silver would talk to truman or address him and the way

addition to john peter, the jews decided not only were they going to be part of the army, but this man decided he wanted to form a jewish calvary made up completely of jews. this was the first hole lead jewish military unit since biblical times. and kosciuszko was pleased with this and he wrote in his newspaper, the government gazette which was the propaganda organization of the union that nothing will convince other nations of sanctity of cause and the just of the revolution them fact we set aside different religions and traditions of those that support our uprising and that of our own free will be offered to lay down their lives. kosciuszko's article went on to explain how jews suffered over the centuries but now they were willing to die for poland. and when the fighting started, even the embassadors from austria and sweden started writing saying this is unusual because even the jews are taking up arms. and a couple of weeks later there was an appeal written in the government is said to the jews saying listen, children of the tribes of israel, you who have in your heart implanted the

the man made a mistake. i forgive him. i think he is a good man. and he should not, not, i repeat, not resign to these evil people who are saying that we are for moral values. of course we are. who should be? host: thank you for your perspective. also this morning from "the washington times, " he referred to bill clinton people appeared during and after their pursuit of president clinton on impeachment charges the for a sexual liaison with an intern, several republican luminaries and not as dave, also, and elkton affairs and cling pro- life leader henry hyde, former house speaker newt gingrich and former rep bobolink is -- bob livingston who resigned just before assuming the speaker chair. mr. sanford voted in favor of three of the four articles of and be against it in -- mr. cullen. he was in the house of representatives before being elected. geraldine is joining us on independent line from mount pleasant, south carolina. caller: good morning. i object to of the fact that all of the news media and newspapers are focusing more on the fact that what

you cannot tell, when he was a young man he had an extraordinary good looks. they basically had love notes to each other. the became the great student of whitman. whitman could pick anyone. it was john burroughs. their relationship was one of a platonic nature. but he became almost a son to walt whitman. >> we're ines archive facility at the national center conservation center for training. how much time did you spend in this room? >> i would come down here. i did not spend much time in his room. this is a place where they keep the artifacts. the historian mark madison would come to show me items here. that would inform my riding. for example, there's a bag behind me that says biological survey poison. there was a time when the biological surveys job was to do pest control and a predator control so farmers will not lose livestock to will spirit on the other side of the mission would be the farmers shooting birds. the fish and wildlife service said you have to keep the birds. they are controlling the miskitos and other insects. much of the time writing about wa

i guarantee that man ear jess had input on the players now. you're better off saying we're going to make these guys better, we're going to get healthy. we've barely played a third in the season. let's hold on here and don't put your gm in position to do something. you're managing the people on the field. i don't think it's your job to tell him you have to do something. >> well, the mets in a dog fight and dealing with injuries. taking on the nationals. it's a 1-1 game in the top of the 7th inning. tim redding. dealing in this one, six innings dealing with one earned run. and six hits. >> coming up, they might be the best two teams in the national league, and they're squaring off again tonight. we'll talk to two starters who taking a bath and going for a swim became the same thing for a few days? and when making the perfect s'more meant burning three marshmallows before getting one just right? then keep the tradition going, at bass pro shops family summer camp. try the casting challenge and laser arcade. make a craft, try the archery range and

so for years this man, struggled. until he ended up selling the brand again to a company you might have heard of. is now part of a larger company, but known for a-1 steak sauce. and nothing really happened for a while until after world war ii. and after world war ii, john martin who was ceo of this company decided, you know, we have to do something with this vodka. we have to get rid of it. so he got together with his friend who was the owner of the cock and bull in la which was the hollywood watering hall at the time and the owner of the cock and ball had ginger beer. and he did to get rid of the ginger beer. they decided let's get our drink together. i don't know how many of you have tasted the moscow mule here before you sat down, but before they invented the moscow mule. it was incredibly successful in part because john martin borrowed some of smirnov ultrix. he took one of the very first polaroid cameras and he went into the bars in la and he took one picture of the bartender making the moscow mule and he gave it

it would be hard to get it by that man. >> bob: b.j. ryan is not warming up right now. it's shawn camp, right-hander. >> rob: sometimes we refer to the catcher as a beck stop. that man is definitely a backstop right there. >> bob: zimmerman is going to be called out on strikes on a breaking ball that caught the outside corner according to brian gorman. now they could walk adam dunn. >> rob: no, this is a filthyslider right here. hayhurst just breaks that right off over the plate. too close to not swing at. >> bob: yeah, that was 12:00, 6:00 there. >> rob: our guys have to start swinging when they've got two strikes on them not looking for walks especially the three, four, five guys. >> bob: and they have to walk adam dunn now. >> rob: yeah, and now you setup the double play to force because adam is not a speedy base runner. elijah dukes is going to do -- going to have to do some damage here. >> bob: it will be dukes 0-3. here is a freeze cam from coors light the world's most refreshing beer. it's frost brewed. >> rob: cristian guzman, nothing but hustle right here that

the head of the american delegation was a man named warren g. boston. warren austan gave a famous speech in march. up this point* one who plus studying and talking to delegates at the u.n., warned truman that in conjunction with the state department was planning to double cross truman and she had spoken to the under secretary of state and he was telling the press the state was beginning to take steps to revise the partition and she warned truman in a couple of telegrams they are really trying to double cross you. austan prepared this speech in march. this is a speech in which he will say among other things that trusteeship might still be a possibility to consider if and when it is necessary. truman was given in a draft of this statement and is an issue of contention. what happened? austan said he gave truman a draft of what he was going to say and he approved it. truman would later explain that most people might argue that is what happened, that's if is the un general assembly when the security council has studied the situation and said we can't go forw

he was the king of pop and a quiet man, a man who loved to give back and a humanitarian. for those of us who remember the words of "we are the world," one of the first songs of bringing people together to be able to emphasize that we have the responsibility to others. and then the song of "man in the mirror," we can make a difference. born in 1958 in gary, indiana, he was one of the jackson 5. but he was a father, someone who would bring a face to america. i intend to introduce a resolution in honor of michael jackson, because we believe in the good and he was good. he saw our soldiers and foult against hiv-aids. he wanted to show that he cared and he did. it is my pleasure to have hosted michael jackson on capitol hill in 2004 when he came to stand against aids and fight that devastating disease. tonight i stand and recognize that he truly was a man who loved america. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. gohmert: address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: no objection. the gentleman is recognized.

he was a 30-year-old man. i think he was born 14 years after george washington was born in 1732, and kosciuszko, if i am pronouncing that correctly, was born in 1746, the same year as pulaski. and he arrived in philadelphia, as you had said, after he shipwrecked in the andes, but you didn't mention much about his encounters with george washington, who i read several places and also in a beautiful book that was given commemorating the 400 years of poland in america, which was given to all of us by mario's at the celebration of the second of october of last year, where-- in the state of virginia in jamestown in 1608. but, george washington is reported in that book, celebrating american history, to have given kosciuszko to pistols. they warned by chance the two pistols he gave to little turtle where they? >> i think those pistols are now in a military museum in warsaw and in addition to that he gave him a sword with an inscription on it, and kosciuszko was actually at france's tavern when george washington said g

so he met this -- he met this man, mr.solomon who was a polish jew who came to poland in 1775 and he hung his shingle at 22 wall street in new york city was a polyglot city at the time and solomon traveled all around europe and he started trading in currencies and he knew all the european laws so he made a lot of money and he opened this shop where he traded every species of merchandise and every branch of business. well, solomon became friends with jefferson, madison, and a lot of the people that he agreed with politically. so he would give them loans but these were loans that he didn't want paid back. and this is one of the greatest lost heroes of the american revolution because mr. solomon ended up funding much of the american revolution. the british arrested him in new york and he escaped and he made his way to philadelphia and in philadelphia he opened up a bruje which was essentially a stock market but it was out of the back of a coffee shop. and so kosciuszko met him in philadelphia and he gave kosciuszko $142 which
