marshal's braylls. don't have the funding to provide a federal air marshal on every single domestic and international flights. it is unrealistic. i don't think we ever will. it does not make sense to provide the level of funding to the federal air marshals not to these other levels of security. by keeping it random or putting them on the highest-risk flights determined by the department of all my security and keeping it secret, i think it keeps the terrorists questioning and on edge3 . they don't know whether there is an air marshal on a certain flight or not. i think that is the best case scenario right now. host: massachusetts for this last call, a democrat. caller: by mgm from melrose. -- i am jim from melrose. i appreciate cspan because it gives the american people a chance to be heard. my first question is -- how do you balance privacy vs. security? let me give you two instances of which propel my question. i9 believe it was norfolk maybe three years ago. i paid cash. i encountered eight not to co

general marshall said that sometimes van was my right hand and sometimes he was his right hand. we know how to do that. john baener and george miller did that on no child left behind. mike ense and ted kennedy wrote 35 bills together. you mentioned that in your opening remarks. you and i and many other senators work together on the america competes act. we can do that on health care as well. but to do that, we'll have to renounce jamming it through in a partisan way. if we don't, then the rest of what we do today will not be relevant. the only thing bipartisan will be the opposition to the bill and we'll be saying to the american people, who have tried to tell us in every way they know how, town halls and elections and surveys that they don't want this bill, that they would like for us to start over. so if we can do that, start over, we can write a health care bill. it means putting aside jamming it through, it means working together the way general marshall and senator vandenburg did and row deucing health care costs and making that our goal now. it means going step by step tog

this is usually crunch time for southwest airlines at dwi thurgood marshall. starting at 2:00 p.m., they canceled all flights, more than 100. she was catching the last flight out. the snow in the forecast does not bother her at all brigance i am used to that. -- i am used to that. >> the airline hopes to resume flights sunday. lucky for andrew and kendall, they just arrived on southwest airlines'last light in. timing is everything. >> it is my second time seeing snow, so we are excited. >> as we were leaving monday afternoon, hopefully it will be open by then. if not, we will be staying here a few more days. >> the governor will be here shortly. >> meanwhile, it has been a challenging 48 hours for baltimore's new mayor. stephanie rawlings-blake has had to deal with a huge budget shortfall, a police officer shot, and now a major storm approaching. she put in place store management steps this morning, less than 24 hours after being sworn in. -- a storm of management steps. >> the city is concerned about the type of storm that is expected. the emergency steps go

what about it, bethany marshall? a lot of people have thrown stones at the grandparents for going on a vacation. i'm surprised they came back. >> i agree with you, nancy. i think their whole life is organized around dealing with this horrible tragedy. probably they have not paid their mortgage because they've been socking away every dollar and every cent they have toward the defense. now the defense is unraveling because they haven't been paid. it's hard to know where they're going to turn. where i think cindy and george have really fallen down, however, is the arrogance and contempt they show in court. they're angry, they walk out, they shake their head when the story is told about the duct tape being put around the granddaughter's mouth. that does not look good for them because it shows they're angry toward the system rather than angry toward the killer. and it's such an explanation as to why they could have raised a daughter who's an alleged killer. >> you raised a good point, dr. bethany. they show more anger at
