michael? >> how we stayed brothers was like even though he was gone we would talk to him here and there and i think from when i got older and i came to him and i needed that help from him he was there to help me. he had gotten me a little job and even though that didn't work he was around more. i would call him and he was like there. it was unbelievable. but he would be like a statue to africa for a little while and this and that but we would still stay in his life. our relationship even got, like tighter, you know what i'm saying? and i focused on him like a man, i want to be around him more. i didn't know this was going on. i'm there. >> you said that you have replicated what you're father did in terms of not always been there for michael but then something happened she taught you about how to be there for somebody else. >> i would go to his house a lot and was sort of reinvested in his life and played the role of brother i should have played all those years and i got to see him as a father

well you have to distinguish me lately because i might go here legally michael michael you know michael first michael let me just finish my point yes this is a difference between pumping oil and pumping enough oil to satisfy the ever growing thirst of the world world market and my sense is that just because these new governments will pump oil i'm sure they will but will they pump enough to keep adding to world supply that i'm not sure if you look at venezuela where you have a radical populist government they have not been able to increase production this is what i think is likely i think no matter what the outcome is this is my prediction no matter what the outcome of all of this is we will not see the ever rising production levels that the department of energy and the international energy agency predict for the years ahead we should expect from now on diminishing levels of oil coming from these countries for technical and political and other reasons that's what i think. i only have now a little reason why do you think it's a ok william going to be bad only as a political factor the ide

bush is angela pointed out and i'm sure michael is going to tell us a few minutes go ahead. i agree with everything that angela said i think that in large part the anti-war movement during bush was really an unfortunate about personality in a sense i mean he was seen as sort of this disreputable low brow texan who's very crude in his in his ways well we've gotten is an imperialist he's actually very refined and very articulate and very effective i would just say liberals now are basically the more effective and always have been the more effective imperialists then conservatives who usually tend to use brute force in very crude rhetoric and so that i think is one reason that we can talk about many others for why there is no anti-war movement and why there are actually more wars now than before well michael you've written probably the most authoritative report on this to date if you could give our my audience the title of that report but i mean you basically say it's about it was really just about bush right. well i think it's a little bit more than that i would say that it's

give it my pass shot. >> michael, as much as j.p. did for you, it wasn't enough to keep you from the hardship, obviously. there was too much, including some of the teasing that you were in during in school. >> we get teased a lot of school. we get teased a lot at school. >> what would they say? >> just you know, my mom didn't have the money. we always got second-hand stuff. five and a third hand. it was crazy. i remember it was the beginning of the school. i was the oldest boy. seven kids. my mom didn't have a lot of money to buy all of those close. she bought me three sweatsuits. i had to wear them the whole school year, the same three sweatsuits. they're teasing me all year round. that was one of the reasons. >> she started selling drugs because you started getting -- because you were tired of getting teased? were you trying to raise money. >> i want to buy clothes at that time. >> bullying. bullying gas and teasing us. that hurt being a little kid. so other kids, to the state. it goes to the same thing. kids teasing me because of

so when i called his office to get an appointment, i said it's michael lang. who's michael lang? i have no idea who michael lang is. tell him i'm from the neighborhood. okay, have him come up. so he was charming and funny, and we became friends and have known each other all our lives. having net the fall, we were talking late into the night every night about these ideas of producing concerts, and artie was a studio guy, not really very familiar with the rock scene and hadn't been at a concert, so i would drag him out to see shows shows and get him e right frame of mind. it also occurred to me that woodstock was becoming a mecca for musicians, but there was no place to record. people would have to go into the city to do their albums, and it seemed that was the perfect answer was to build a recording studio in woodstock where you can come and spend some time in the country and record at your leisure. so we proceeded to try and put that together. so we were following these two paths, and i hired a local realtor, tim young, to help me look for sites for this idea of a festival which

and i agree with michael. look, you're talking to somebody. you know this, michael smerconish.n i was mayor i cut the budget. when i was governor, i cut out a tremendous amount of waste in the government. i believe government spend hag to be targeted and effective. the day government is inconsequential in this country is the day this country is cooked. >> final question for both of you. it's a one-word answer, if you don't mind. does the presence of all of this extreme weather, take your pick what's gone on in the last six months or so, mean there's about to be a change with regard to global warming in the congress? will it now be taken more seriously than it has been in the past? michael steele? >> yes. >> governor rendell? >> sadly, no. >> thank you both for being here. appreciate your time. >>> coming up, michele bachmann jokes hurricane irene is god's sign for politicians to listen to the people. isn't it time we asked presidential candidates some tough questions about faith? >>> you're watching "hardball," only on msnbc. >>> have you been thinking america will give awe gov

>> stevie and michael moore were best buddys. christopher started coming in to be friends i'm going to say about a month or so before they passed away. but it was always stevie and michael moore. >> on may 5, 1993, the three boys went to school, came home, and went out to play. stevie branch's mother pam hobbs remembers it like it was yesterday. >> we wasn't home probably five or ten minutes when michael moore probably came over and asked if stevie could go ride bikes with him. and i was telling him, not today, son. i'm getting ready for work. and i'm cooking and all that. and he and michael just kept begging and begging. please let me go. let me go. so like a lot of parents do, i gave in and i said, okay. >> do you remember the last thing stevie said to you? >> i love you, mama. and went off just as happy as he could be. >> steve branch, christopher byers and michael moore were all last seen right here on this street. and they were doing what 8-year-old boys would normally do, they were playing, having fun, and riding their bike

michael, why can't you say the decent thing? >> what is the decent thing? know you think it. >> what? >> that these attacks are ugly and inappropriate. >> let's just get it all out on the street now, so we can get past this craziness and sit down and sigh what these gentlemen want to do for the country. >> i just think that it is interesting that america sees we remember bob shrum when the president ran, we had to deal with everything not only what he said, what the pastor of the church he used to go to said. we had to deal with anybody that ever went to their house said. now all of a sudden this is sillyness, this is a joke. >> excuse me, reverend, look -- >> who would governor perry saying that -- >> excuse me -- >> they call that a double stud, mr. steele. >> you clearly don't know what i said about thatç at that time. i thought that that conversation was silly. so i'm at least bess consistent in terms of what i view -- >> it wasn't silly. it was sinister. >> well, that's your characterization. my characterization is that it's silly. >> they have gone a

that makes michael vick valuable. >> you sound like a minister, dave. but it is true. >> thank you. >> and does this put an enormous amount of pressure on him, and we have said, can you compare this to any other comeback story in a short period of time? we have seen great comebacks in sports, but for this in just, you know, being out of jail for two years, that is a lot of pressure? >> well, there is no comparison, and the pressure is even higher than we are saying, because the philadelphia eagles are a stacked team except for their offensive line. which is very weak. and michael vick who is incredibly elusive and sacked 49 times last year is a huge number. so, there is pressure on michael vick psychologically to lead the team forward and also pressure for him to stay healthy, because a lot of the teams will be taking shots at him. >> and straight and narrow and this guy cannot get pulled over for speeding. he has to keep it clean away from the game as well. >> absolutely. he has to st. francis ofs a sissy away from the nfl and on the field he has to pl

chairman michael steele.ichael, what is the value of the straw poll? >> the value is to make money. let's break it right down. the state parties love this because this is a chance where you're going to galvanize the political world's attention on a state, in this case, iowa. and you're going to raise a lot of money from it which is great because you put dollars to use for organizing and getting your grassroots together and active and out there. come next year's election. i think beyond that not much in my view. you know, you see straw polls where, you know, the person with the least chance of even coming close to winning the top prize wins that straw poll. and the realty then shifts because people think there's some significance to that. there isn't. the fact is this is about being able to get a number of voters to turn out to vote for you. this is an open process, you're going to have democrats voting in this straw poll today. you have independents voting in the straw poll today. so in some sense it's not a
