the meeting that was the most important was sitting down with michelle. i ne -- with michel.f he is feeling better i'm better. it is not a perfect world. we are not getting everything we like but as i mentioned a minute ago we are in a response mode. the oil is not come into this area. we are watching for it at the barrier islands. once they see it then they deploy. right now they have deployed where they need to or feeling they need to apnd policing it because we have to continue the integrity of the boom and it will be an ongoing process. as long as that thing is pumping oil who knows how long it will go? >> what do you tell your constituents on a daily basis? >> the only thing i can do is keep your chin up. if you are out there working laying boom i don't have to tell you anything. i know you are doing it because your heart is in it and not because there is a check in it although the check is important with people out of work. this is about saving an area that we love. as i told people, i grew up hunting and fishing town here. all my life i fished out of the marina. i tphk

>> a little tiff with michele bachmann. i sort of got kicked out of my first senate hearing because i said something to saxby chambliss that she didn't like. and i didn't know the hearings weren't interactive. i thought they were more like a q&a situation. not so much. >> larry: well, it is. >> but not for me. >> larry: you now throw fancy dinner parties. i've never been invited by the way. you have a-listers at your house last weekend. jackie collins, suzanne somers, lily tomlin, chris bodie and sidney poitier. >> in your face, king. that's got to hurt. that's got to be like a dagger in your heart. >> larry: i've had dinner with sidney many times. >> come on. >> larry: how did this come about, you, a d-lister, what are you doing with these people? >> it's a sham. it's a traf es ti, but yet i'm determined -- here's why. i'm friends with sue mangers. she used to be a big power agent and gives these incredible dinner parties. i thought i would try one there is a lot of people in what i call the beverly hills mafia, and one of

michele and taghreed, could you discuss that?go over to this side over here. >> dan litman, freelance writer. this is for taghreed, if say hamas was treated like any government entity in the world equally and gaza was given all the freedoms, open borders just like any country, can you make a little prediction of what politically, economically and spiritually also that gaza would look like in a few years? in other words, would it be a stable, growing company or would it still be racked with dissension and violence? >> in the back. yeah. >> yes, hi. joyce with the newspaper. my question for the gentleman who was speaking on turkey. i'm wondering why you're framing this as a u.s.-turkey sort of crisis. i mean, the turkish foreign minister yesterday was clear in his remarks on cnn. he sort of welcomed the u.s. response and made it clear that this is an issue between, you know, israel and turkey. also, can the u.s. deal with this like it deals with other allies. saudi and qatar doesn't get along but u.s. is friends with both of them.

i know that it is a pleasure to do this wiih michele flourney. she was a contributor to the conference at fort leavenworth in january 2006 that once the effort to develop the counterinsurgency manual. i will begin with some brief context. soon after the 9/11 attacks, an international coalition led by the united states conducted an impressive campaign to defeat the taliban, hawkeye, and other associated groups in afghanistan. in the years that followed, however, members of the taliban and other extremist elements gradually reconnected in the afghan-pakistan border region and were able kind -- to conduct at -- insurgency operation. these increased in an increasingly violent people -- campaign against the afghan people and government. they developed a some bought it -- as some by audit relationship throughout the world. in response to the threat posed by these extremists, isaf forces are involved in a campaign to prevent sanctuaries in afghanistan like the one cockeyed enjoyed there when the taliban ruled afghanistan prior to 9/11. to achieve our ob

michelle obama was advocating for her position for women's an children's health. but she is immensely popular with the democratic base in nevada. barack obama spent a lot of time campaigning here in the 2008 primary and 2008 presidential election. he was able to win this state with a large majority of the vote for the first time in decades for a democrat to do that. so, reid hopes bringing the president and his wife to the state will infuse his base with much needed enthusiasm. talking to the crowds, michelle obama was able to do that last week. >> finally, which candidate, which republican candidate would reid like to run against? >> well, harry reid himself dodges that question since he doesn't vote republican so he hasn't studied up on the candidates. however, when you look at his campaign activities they have spent a tremendous amount of money, time and resources in weaken i weakening sue lowden and it has worked. sharon angle is seen by some as more of a fringe candidate and has not been able to raise a substantial amount of money or build a sophisticated cam

the meeting that was the most important meat was sitting down with michelle. i need to know that he is feeling better. he is feeling better, i am feeling better. it is not a perfect world. we are not getting everything we would like, obviously. as i mentioned a minute ago, we are in a response mode. the oil has not come into this area. we are watching for it at the barrier islands and those areas. once we see it, then they deploy. right now they have deployed to where they need to or feel that they need to. we haae to continue making sure that the integrity of the boom is there, wherever it has been put up. it will be an ongoing process. as long as that thing is pumping oil, who knows how long it is going to go on? all we can do is keep our chin up. if you are out there working, laying boom, i do not have to tell you anything. i know you are doing it because your heart is in it, not because there is a check coming. this is about saving an area that we love. i grew up hunting and fishing down here. all my life i have fished out of teh mariia. johnny glover and

michelle obama talks to marines at camp pendleton. flag day is every day for some. they have an opinion on flag reporte. flag day originated in fredonia, wisconsin. one teacher thought was important to recognize the birthday of flag day which was a june 14 in 1777. the day was officially established by the u.s. proclamation of woodrow wilson in 1916. 30 years later, harry truman signed an act in congress designating june 14 as flag day. the flag is a direct reflection of the people and many enemies burn our flag as a symbol of their hate for us and what we stand for. on flag day, it is our job to contribute to the american brand which stands for justice, fairness, and the generosity. our independent line is next. caller: last night of a coast- to-coast radio, they had three hours of coverage about the deep water -- deep water drilling. russia has been doing this at 40,000 feet. they have not experienced what bp did in the gulf. that well was about 25,000- 35,000 feet. they experienced a pressure that was unbelievable between 20,000 and 70,000 pounds of pressure. the

michelle obama has been on the campaign trail. some democrats did not want him. he is not popular in their district. a democrat who was a former aide of john murtha said he voted against health care reform. he has shunned the policies of obama and grant a local mantra and said he can deliver for the district as did another with many air march, and he won. -- earmarks, and he won. host: north carolina. caller: i enjoy the show. i want to thank the callers before me. we seem to be collected in one point. president obama cannot be the president of everybody. that are just not going to work with him. they want him to fail. i even feel like if they could sign something to impeach him with, they will. what did the former bush do. we have a war that is really, really senseless. everybody is just going along and saying, we need to keep -- we need to keep the kids of there and keep letting them get killed, for what? what's happened to the money that they were supposed to build their own country back? >> a lot of the voters will blame president george w. bush for the polic

texas, michelle, a republican line. caller: good morning. the $20 billion, i think that is great. i think the people in that region deserve to be compensated as fast as possible. why i don't understand is bp didn't try to capture more of the oil when it first happened, and allowing it to get to shore? why they weren't calling for all hands on deck when it first started. and now louisiana is a mess. i live right down the street from exxon. the ship channel. i can only imagine -- i am less than 100 miles away from the louisiana border. you know, this is going to affect everybody on the gulf coast. if we get a hurricane, god only knows where it is going to carry this oil. also i have a question about tony hayward. we are supposed to be able to watch the senate -- or a thim testifying on c-span. can you tell me what channel? host: live on c-span 3 because the house and senate are in today. and it will also be streamed live on our website at c- span.org. for those who don't have access to either, it will be recorded and shown later on the networks. going back to money and bp, an articl

. >> my name is michelle. we have a group of people right now working on putting together -- well, let me put it this way -- one of the biggest challenges in going out into space is that it is not empty. there is a lot of cosmic radiation out there, and we really do not know much about whht is out there, except for what gets here on earth, once we get beyond our atmosphere, it is a different story. what we are trying to do is put together an updated periodic table to include the different isotopes, various factors of cosmic radiation. and so, that is one aspect of what we're doing. the other -- >> a question for mr. baturin? >> it is part of the question. part of the work we are doing is part of the question. we are doing this in order to look like what is going to be required to actually get a man to mars safely. the other aspect of it is given what the cosmic radiation and other gravitational factors, the actual necessity of developing nuclear-power fusion -- fusion- powered rockets to actually have 1g accel

when i told charlotte, michelle, billy, gregg, if you have something in your not feeling you are getting a response, call me. i did call and i talked to rahm emanuel at the white house. now that i have had a meeting with pat allen and lisa jackson, i am trying to find a balance on deepwater drilling between that spill, baby still and a drill, baby drill. we need to make their -- make sure there is a conscious effort for safety. i think it will devastate louisiana's economy. it has been the lowest unemployment rate in the country for how long? probably two years. with the fishermen, marinas, tramp processors, -- shrimp processors, i don't think johnny's location is doing better than the rest of them. it is like a ghost town. from memorial day onward as when they usually make good money. you have shrimpers' not making money, restaurants are not making money, the grocery stores. >> all right, congressman. we have got to go. >> what about thad allen? >> is mostly getting updated on the way they are. i need to know that he is feeling better. if he is feeling better, i am feeling good. it is n

thank you, justice michel. henry's order must be seen for what is -- a criminal act of+ mass murder that violates the laws of war and offends any notion of chivalry or humanity. william shakespeare offers two reasons. one is reprisal. henry's order was a legal act in response to the killing of the pages. as you recall, the order to kill was given in scene 6 and henry did not know about those killings until scene 7. it is legally unjustified and illogical. the court below held that no noncombatants were killed unlawfully by any forces. it is an unlimited, unqualified finding of law. of necessity, the court below held that the pages or write the combatants -- were rightly played only a support role. they are no less legitimate a target than officers or generals. their letter carriers for the king himself -- they are letter carriers for the king himself. the primary reason that king henry gave the order to slaughter the prisoners was his fear that the french forces were reinforcing their ranks, not necessarily tha

michelle obama came to do the same. we have supporters everywhere, but what we need to do is execute on our mission. i really believe it is the best mission in the world which makes this one of the best jobs in the world. so i love it and i'm very excited about it. thank you. >> thank you for coming today. [applause] .. >> someone work with everybody. >> i also want to say before i start, senator gramm has been so articulate and thoughtful i think it is a wonderful thing to see when bipartisanship works. i want to thank you for a growing to -- agreeing to do which you said you would do. you have made a big sacrifice from your family. this is not a job or you get to come home every day at 5:00. i appreciate what you are doing. it is a great thing to look back on. i want to thank you for what you are doing. you are bringing some much to the job. these other issues are important. many americans are concerned about what we are doing to make sure that they feel safe and secure, not just in a nationally but also on the domest

first of all, myself, michelle bachmann, parker griffith, bob inglis, i believe jerry moran, maybe todd akin, those people i can think of have all introduced legislation to repeal obamacare. a stand-alone repeal of obamacare that is 100% repeal of obamacare, pull it out by the roots, pull it out root and branch, there's not one particle of obamacare d.n.a. left behind. this has become a toxic stew that we've ingested now and it's turning into a ma ig -- a malignant tumor that will start to metastasize in 2014 when obamacare is fully implemented. here's whht we do. my bill and others' bills, we have 90-something co-sponsors on this legislation. i've introduced a discharge petition. i think it's discharge petition number 11. i'm not certain of the number, i think that's the number. i signed it a lot of others have signed it, a lot more need to sign it because of this if a discharge petition gets 218 signatures on it here in the well of the house, it has to come to the floor for a vote unamended that means we can force a vote even over the rule of the speaker of the house who surely would

michele and i enjoyed a wonderful evening at the president's home. our daughters will never forget having team -- having tea in the garden. we just concluded some excellent discussions, discussions that would have been unlikely just 17 months ago. as we have both said before, when i came into office, the relationship between the united states and russia had drifted, perhaps to its worst point since the cold war. there was too little work on issues of common concern. that did not concern the interest of either country or the world. we firmly believe that america's security interests and priorities could be advanced more -- could be advanced better with cooperation with russia. i am committed to our relationship. we have found a solid and reliable partner in president medvedev. mr. president, i am very grateful for your leadership and partnership. by any measure, we have made significant progress and achieve concrete results. together we have negotiated and signed the historic treaty committing our nations to significant reductions in nuclear weapons.

michele obama has also talked about it. what is it about afghan society that has not allowed women to rise? guest: with the resurgence of the taliban in off, we see greater portion of women's rights. we want to make sure that the karzai government moves forward. that when they meet in the peace conference, that they have women's rights, women's representatives. one of the most scary expenses i have ever had was when i was privileged to be with secretary albrecht in a refugee camp overseas, meeting with women who had been, who had fled afghanistan for pakistan because of the taliban. women who have been teachers, lawyers, nurses, who were no longer able to live their lives. young girls who had been raped, stuffed in closets. absolutely heartbreaking. so, the president, the first lady, secretary clinton who has the message there for women's rights around the world -- it is crucial to move afford to make sure that women's rights remain paramount. we also know that development moves forward in the countries when women aren't ga

garrett's mother michelle shared with me a powerful story she learned about her son after his death. she was told that when he was a freshman in high school, he took it upon himself to call the mother of a student he knew to tell her that he was worried about her son. he was concerned that her son was headed down a bad path and he wanted her to know. garrett never told his mom that he did that, but it made a difference in the life of another young man. how many times, how many times have each of us had an opportunity to make a difference? do we always seize that opportunity? garrett gamble not only acted on those opportunities, but touched the lives of everyone around him. this is a post on a facebook page dedicated to arrett that speaks to his character. whether in surarland or any other city, garrett approached life with enthusiasm, he was caring, kind and fun to be around, but he took his job as a u.s. marine very seriously. garrett spent a lot of time, quote, outside the wire, end quote. and yesterday, that's where he laid down his life so that we may live in liberty. thank you,
