and the sec and come with the perception is that the public cannot follow this with post mccann ago ernest rutherford was really the transition figure. but when we grew up all of us in this room if you owned the automobile you could open the hood and try to fix it. you worked on a typewriter could be broken fixed with a paper clip nazi open the hood and you have no idea god knows inside a computer. [laughter] so we have not developed the cadres of people who can write about the new science and most publishers figure unless it is abraham lincoln or the atomic bomb no one is interested. [laughter] >> good afternoon i almost feel as if i know you personally per or have been keeping up with you over the years i first saw umc on college student at the time. you are very welcome. [laughter] you did a great job on that by the way. also said documentary of debbie bd ball which is excellent. i want to ask you, had you feel about ida b. wells being the precursor of the generation of the 1960's that believed in bearing arms cracks there's a tendency to jump from slavery to the 60s and it skipped over

. >> jim: we saw brian mccann in the atlanta series give the runner the outside corner of the plate. that's all right, but you br take it away, and that's what wieters did. >> gary: wright will get the rbi, making it an one-run ballgame. wright's 38th run batted in, runner at 1st. surprise probably more than anyone was beltran, he thought the throw was going to second, so he had gone like a quarter of the way down to second. throw was coming behind him on the way to the plate. sheffield now throw over to give beltran back. sheffield has flied out and struck out in the ballgame. >> jim: beltran 8 out of 9. he can steal a base when his knees are healthy, and that appears to be the case this year. mets lead the national leaguen steals. >> gary: gary sheffield, a dangerous hitter in that situation. in the dirt, wieters blocks i. >> jim: sandy alomar, junior, he's the bullpen coach for the mets, a 6-time all star, he sd i bet he really blocks the ball well. i have never seen a young catcher that has hands as soft as wieters. and for a big g

in this case matt is mccann the specific point that the media has a letter with president obama. he cites some statistics. the writer has worked for a couple of gop senators. this is from "the philadelphia inquirer," and this is one of them. there's definitely a bias for the president -- we have a caller now from franklin, new hampshire. caller: a think it is the type of media, as far as the visual, sound, the radio -- he sounds good and looks great and is easy to sell, but the further you get away from where you visually watch him and listen to him -- i believe in print. i religiously read "mother jones" and as far as i'm concerned by this is all in the eye of the beholder. but if you take away the spotlight and the sound and you get to the text -- that is what journalism has failed the american people with the most. we're looking for a 32nd psalm by. we do not really care about the real details. host: and earlier caller mentioned a gay-rights issues. "the new york times" has this story. the political shifts on their rights are lagging behind the culture. for 15 minutes in the o

how the press and drove the regulation and also business is dropping the use of bpa en products con mccann linings, and teethers and also mercury which does not seem to ever go away either in terms of the problems with exposure through fish and other sources. can you comment for example, come on the niehs controversy? >> it is a subject to look at how the science has developed it is a chemical that may or may not cause harm it cannot be well studied but a chemical we are all exposed to upwards of more than 90% of us have bpa in our body because the cdc has a by monitoring program so we're all expose but we don't know exactly how although it is often at -- and all of the bottles and our babies are exposed somehow perhaps leaching and from the bottles that have until recently bpa. because there hundreds of studies and depending on what studies to use you can say it causes harm or it does not. the discussion is not so much does it cause harm in animals by which animals doesn't cause harm in and out was that important to extrapolate that to humans? industry shows no effects and have paid for a

brian mccann back there catching goes, geez, you guys are good. it's a matter of days a couple days ago, you guys are the worst team i've ever seen. you never know in this game. >> boy, is brian roberts busted out that have slump he was in in a six-game span, he has hit con sectively, gotten a hit in every one of those games n that six-game period, he's batting .500. so, not only brian roberts, but the rest of the orioles looking to keep it going tonight in their third interleague series on the year. jim? >> amber, thank you very much. mets are in town. let's get a look at the mets starting lineup as they come in. they're contenders in the n. l. east, but they have been under achieving on the year. karr karr, martinez, carlos beltran up top. alex cora in the middle. a couple of gold gloves. david wright in right. church dh's, with the american league leads, daniel murphy will be at first base, brian schneider will catch and luis castillo at second base. david wright is probably the more dangerous hitter in that lineup. he comes in red-hot. however

you see brian mccann shaking his head. swinging the bat as well as anybody. and joba chamberlain pitched like a number one pitcher the yankees said he could be. >> a-rod was 5 for 49. he was slumping in the month of june before he came up with a big hit. did this get him going? a number of the slumping yankees got big hits tonight. >> we've seen them pitch around teixeira. it wasn't an intentional pass, but it seemed that way. and i think alex might have there were two prototype ships built and they are coming on stream now but that process was managed poorly. i think there would be temptation to buy both of them. probably we should just stick with one ship so there are places certainly that we need to be careful with spending. >> host: from pennsylvania on the democrats' line, larry joins. >> caller: yes, i appreciate the chance to get through. it's not easy to get through and all i am kind of astounded by this man. he talks with the cadence of a banker like he's so sure these things are definitely going to work and they are definitely, surely needed and rem

. >> host: there was a couple of moments the race tightened between john mccann and barack obama. for the most part, he was ahead or slightly ahead in the campaign. there was one moment though i want to share at the dinner, the tradition for the party nominees. this took place on october 16 the waldorf-astoria on new york city and this is senator john mccain. >> a copy of the senators, the protein was left on the table this evening, and i have to confess i looked at it. [laughter] now, of course it would be on fair and even a little unkind to put my opponent on the spot before he gets up here. but to throw him off his game with on a reasonably high expectations. [laughter] but i do need to warn you, ladies and gentlemen, you are all out about to witness the funniest performance -- [laughter] in the 63 year history of this event. [applause] let's not add to the mounting pressure he must be feeling. [laughter] just prepare yourself for nonstop hilarity. [laughter] the funniest 15 minutes of your life or any other. [laughter] i think he knows anything short of that -- [laughter] -- w

. >> if there's a possibility for more discussion mccann probably do that with a voice vote. >> all those in favor of the robbers amendment say aye. those opposed, no. the nose hava, and we will leave it. >> i would like a roll call vote. >> why do you were visiting their suggested the discussion was still going to be open, that may be leakages do it by a voice vote but i would defer to your wishes on that. >> dr. coburn had just given to the chairman that extra paragraph that we protect the dissemination on all that to doctors. and then, if we could combine that language to the language that we have work done, both the senator from maryland and myself, and use the word prohibit, i think we are that close with all this debate. i don't know if the ranking member can tell me what the differences between a voice spoke and i guess if you have it recorded, you lock it up and put it on the bookshelf and you don't ever take the book back. >> i just got the language. i appreciate tom coburn submitting it. words are important and i think a good suggestion, but rather than just a step in this a day
