mr. toyoda, yesterday, david gilbert, associate professor of automotive technology at southern illinois universitytestified that toyota has an electronic problem. a conclusion he derived from testing that only took him three and a half hours. i note this his credentials are significant and he's very qualified to do this testing. toyota has announced that to help solve this problem, toyota will begin to install brake override systems on your cars. isn't it true that if what dr. gilbert testified to, that toyota has an electronics problem, you cannot be certain that a brake override system would even kick in and work when your electronics malfunction?

mr. speaker, jack's chairman, chairman of the appropriations committee, david obey. mr. obey: mr. speaker, this is a very human institution, and it's affected very much by our personal relationships with one another. very frankly, for the first 20 years that jack and i served on the appropriations committee we were often adversaries. there were some issues that we differed on. he was, as has already been said, very much old school. and i was more of a reformer. and in fact when i ran for the chairmanship of the committee against the senior member of the committee, jack managed the campaign of my opponent. and unfortunately he did a pretty good job. but -- and after i was elected we had pretty much an arm's length relationship for a couple of years. but if you care about your country and you care about this institution, you swallow your differences and you learn to work with everybody. and jack and i soon developed a solid working relationship and we became allies on a host of issues. one of the most important was our view of the war in iraq and how to get out of it. and another wa

mr. brinkley, are you david's son? guest: no, i'm not. no relation, actually.ee with you. as a senior citizen i would like to add how very important it was when he added medical prescription help for us, which seems to be paying for itself. i think that is important to lead to history. also the fact that during the second world war, we lost millions of men to put out a genocidal leader. and your president bush took out saddam hussein in the middle east and was able to do it with very little loss of life as opposed to second world war when millions died. also fdr, he did not want to protect banks with federal deposit insurance because he thought that something would happen. and i think history should see that. look what happened when we did do that. it when president clinton did away with glass stiegel, making it possible. host: and, thank you for your thoughts. guest: it is tough to be president of the united states. i think the expectations are so hard. i looked at president obama giving a speech the other day. he visibly has aged over the past year. all presi

[laughter] that started a discussion that howard began to have with close friends and confidants and he said when i die, please no melroy else. would ever you do, and no memorials. his friends said guess what you touched a lot of people in your life there will be memorials. and howard said okay but if there will be and has to be about the work. had passed to be about the struggle. it has to be about to the music of the struggle, the words of a people's history of the united states. the history, it has to be about making the world

david, what are you hearing. >> mr. blankfein's compensation which will be all in stock, of course, including the other 29 members of the management committee at goldman sachs has been an issue that many people have been watching in part because it will be a barometer of what everybody else feels comfortable paying themeses although we already know what the compensation is for a number of other wall street head honchos and certainly the focus has been on mr. blankfein, more on jamie dimon, partners at goldman sachs as i reported was over a week ago got there and were already told what they're going to earn. they haven't been paid yet. 60% in stock and 40% in cash and interesting that the board hasn't yet told blankfein and he's got 48 howevers in which to file a form four and we'll learn about it when they tell him or when he's filed with the sec. the times reported 140 million and goldman sachs dumped all of that immediately, right? look at the actions that they've taken. they're approving a say on pay proposal for sha

detail had contact with a woman pursuingñr domesti violence charges against a man named david johnson who is one of mrrson's top aides and con dant. -- confidante. so paterson awaits the outcome of this probe. it's possible that it will fine the if he did have inappropriate contacting with a woman pursuing what could become criminal charges, they did not arise to criminality at the time that the woman whose name has been largely withheld by the media decided to abandon her pursuit to them. she was seeking a permanent order of protection but she abandoned that request. but more importantly, this probe will focus on what did the governor know? did the governor give tacit or explicit support for the head of his security detail to meet with this woman? did the head of the state police a man named harry corbit know what was going on and whoa the full picture? and was the governor aware of this and when he said publicly on the radio to allegations against mr. johnson were "rumors." so we await the resultçó of thi probe and we're wondering if it will a nugget ofñr david patersr >> is anybody pushing or at le

mr. ralph nader. [cheers and applause] >> thank you very much, david zirin.ndy and all the people here for making this celebration of howard zinn's life possible. you will hear the vast dimensions of howard zinn's activities in the speakers that will be here very shortly. to me, howard zinn represented dissent in america across a prodder spectrum offish -- prodder spectrum of issues and activities from his educational function to his organizing function to his inspirational function. dissent is the mother of ascent. if you look very carefully at what we have achieved in our country that represents civil rights and civil liberties whether substantive or procedural, they started out as dissent. and now they have come to the status of ascent. so the dissenter's role is one that is not simply drawing a line in the sand and saying no, although it includes that. it's much more than that. it's moving toward a higher level of activity that represent the fulfillment of life's possibilities. starting with human rights. i'm here to talk about howard zinn's afterlife on

david hale. she was inclined to talk a think more pressure would have been put on mr.hubbell. >> host: that is another figure. as these developments occurred those of us who were watching them were eager to know what was going on. he was prosecuted almost three times as speedy that's correct. what do you what do you think about the relationship? >> guest: and hillary clinton worked with him in the law firm. it was a shock to the clintons when it turned out he was working the law firm. to his credit, he has really come to grips with his mistakes, i think and acknowledges them. one of the fascinating things, i believe that, you know, the most compelling proof, because he kept saying i don't know what these people thought i was hiding. whenever it wasn't they were looking for, i don't know. i didn't have it. stop and think. if he was hiding something could bill clinton have afforded not to pardon him? if he was hiding something, you know, that would be the shortest way that he was bowing to blab. there were no bodies buried there. he would have certainly told the story wh

mr. campbell had to say, but also with what david stockman, the director of omb under the reagan administrationhad to say the other day. i'm pretty sure the local revelation when i agree with both mr. campbell and mr. stockman it is one of the signs of the apocalypse. stockman wrote the day before yesterday in the "new york times" the economy needs unproductive and increasingly parasitic banking system. make no mistake the banking system has been an agent of destruction for the gross domestic product and impositivishment for the middle class. -- impositivishment. how do we -- how do we stop the excess, the vulgar excess that is not rewarding productive conduct but is rewarding what economists call rent-seeking, what david stockman called parasitic that is taking money from the middle class and taking money from the real economy. it is certainly undermining all the that we need to be doing to build a sustainable economy that works for the middle class and works for ordinary americans. i have a couple of questions. is this part -- the focus on executive compensation, is this part of a bigger prob

mr. o, if health care benefits don't start until 2014 what is the rush to pass the bill? just politics. davidoth. i lean: stuart varney is wrong. i work in health care our executives gobble up major perks who do you think pays? the folks, no question. sherry: stuart is spot-on. let the market decide on health insurance. cat reason: i -- catherine: i was disappointed to hear you say the killer whale should be removed. does that mean cars should be removed after people are killed in them? if a car a person and pulls them underwater, i would say yes that vehicle should be recalled, maybe impounded. get the comparison between a whale and a car. philip: o'reilly how is it you are an expert on shakespeare but didn't know that moby dick was a sperm whale not an orca? i think you might be taking the movie dick just a bit too far. just a joke. i don't like peta using. with to make a point. maybe we need an organization called people for the ethical treatment of people. robert: bill, in trying to make fun of -- you called him a nimrod that's a complement it means great hunter that is the biblical defin

mr. cameron, we heard from them earlier. i just want to establish who you are looking at in case you're just joining us. joining us now is joel davidoore. you had to work with a performance capture helmet. explain that. what was it like? >> you know, like sig said earlier, it's going back to the roots of acting. you don't have to worry about lights and camera angles and if you're blocking someone else. you can get back to two people and acting. i think that's good. >> larry: learning and speaking the language of the people was another challenge for you obviously. what was that like? >> we spent three or four months before we started shooting just learning the language. we would meet with a couple people and they would tell me what to say. it's such a beautiful language because it is borrowing ideas from a lot of different languages. so you can't point to it and say it sounds just like this thing or just like that. >> reporte >> larry: you invented a language? >> for the film, yes. the language was created for us. it's a gram atically correct language. >> we had to learn what he had had to say in the movie. it's beautiful to listen

mr. obama has not moved to renegotiate nafta. host: chicago, david on the democrats' line.aller: one thing we have to keep in mind is that whatever trade agreements are past, they have to this list please state that only american citizens -- explicitly state that only american citizens would be hired to do the work or a trade agreement is no good, if american citizens can be displaced or bypassed by h1-b or other wacky visa programs. the indian offshore companies love these visas. they call it trade. if we give tax breaks to american companies who are supposed to hire american citizens as they were supposed to under the american jobs creation act of 2004, but the loopholes are so large, and instead they repatriate their profits and instead lay off americans, that trade agreement also does not work. regardless of whether it is often shoring of work or bringing in foreign workers, these trade agreements are worthless if they don't explicitly state only american citizens will be hired and do the work in our own country. host: at a look at the front page of "the wall street jou

david, independent line. caller: it is a pleasure to talk to mr. smith. about george washington, " the indispensable man," and a book by thomas frank, "and the wrecking crew" which defines written -- which defines nixon, reagan, in the republican party. i want to know what you thought of those. thank you. >> i am aware of the frank book. he is even better known for his book "what is the matter with kansas?" it has a real resonance. "the indispensable man" is four volumes in a biography. i know it sounds like a lot. jamefour volumes condensed intos one volume. the writer was an art historian. he has a keen eye for detail. that is wonderful and a biographer in terms of recreating a very distant era and culture. four volumes is a lot, but if anyone deserves it, george washington does. host: chicago, republican line. caller: this is with respect to president franklin roosevelt who allegedly died in warm springs, georgia, and was buried in hyde park. all of his medical records disappeared after his death in georgia. and his coffin was always closed. it was nev

david, you were almost a member of the family. >> well, the fords were extremely close. the day that mrs.o the hospital, they did not tell anybody at all about what was going on. mrs. johnson and the two daughters visited mrs. ford that day and took a tour of the white house. actually, it is one of the pictures and the book --Ñi in te book, an extraordinary circumstances, ñrand mrs. ford d not say anything about it -- is when the pictures in the book, extraordinary circumstances. -- it is one of the pictures in the book. i found this picture, and in the fourtrds' bedroom, -- there was the suitcase, and that was the suitcase she took to the hospital with her, and i will never forget, as i was very close. they treated me as a member of the family. when president ford got the word that she had to have this operation, he cried, and i did not photograph that. it was a really private moments, but they were extremely close. -- it was a really private moment. i was brought up by a mom and a dad who were together. i learned a lot from them as a couple and as family people. i think a lot of the pho

mr. obama claims the great viftian realist as his favorite philosopher arch claim applauded by admirers like davidrooks after he got his pulitzer prize peace prize award there. won go into that monstrosity, all right. the president, though, i think and some of his admirers should start reading neiber. mr. obama's bland admission that evil does exist in the world is a far cry from neiber's view that democracies must sometimes act in ways that seem to be at odds with their democratic ideals if they're to salvage any measure of earthly justice. when the nazi war machine began its march on europe, neiber chaft tiezed liberal elites about the exercise of power. listen. if hitler is defeated in the end, it will be because the crisis has awakened in us the knowledge that ambiguous methods are required for the ambiguities of history. he wrote in 1940. then he goes on, let those who are revolted by such ambiguities have the decency and the consistency to retire to the monastery where midevil perfectionists found their asylum. likewise, liberals delight in neiber's critique of america's social an political

mr. chairman, when i received the notice for today's hearing, this is from the committee and this says the panel includes daviddministrator of nh tsa. he has only been on the job for a limited number of days, but it's important he testify. i would ask consent that he be allowed to testify and be sworn in as a witness. >> it was chained earlier that the secretary indicated the fact that the decision was made, he was on the job 40 days. that's it is reason he is not here. they assures us that the decision in terms of the final decision was his and he is prepared to assume that responsibility. once he said that, i became comfortable with it. if he is going to assume the responsibility, then of course when we discussed it with the ranking member, we accepted that and of course i think we should move forward. >> i do understand that he is here and he is available. i never met him before, but i read his resume. this is from the department website and said his work included -- he was with the senate committee advising the commerce committee members led to inclusion with several safety mandates including the electroni

but david manning told us you sought to delay the decision as long as possible and we heard from lord boyce and a mr hu and the restrictions on the military preparations in december 2002. i mean, were you aware what the implications of that would be or anybody made you aware of the implications of the delay? >> absolutely. what was important was to be very clear that you could not do this unless the military were ready to do it. and yes, it's true as i think i explained this morning for a time we were worried about the visibility of all the planning. we were doing a certain amount of planning. but you then reach another level when you have to make it very visible and very clear. we didn't want to do that for fear of triggering an assumption that we were actually going to do military action irrespective of what was going to be happening at the united nations. however, i think it was at the end of october 2002, jeff said to me we got to get on with this now and we did. i know that mike boyce said to you in his evidence that he was confident that the u.k. military was ready by the time he took the full

names like if a bruke -- faruke, david hedley, these are names that have come to the forefront because these individuals pose a threat to the united states of america. . mrd earlier, rather than having a six-hour debate on health care, which we all acknowledge is important and needs to be addressed, the attention should be focused on national security. and unfortunately it's not only not being focused on it, but what we're doing here today is taking a flawed bill from july of last year, eight months ago, that was maligned from policy by president obama. what have we done? we've denied amendment after amendment. mr. schock's amendment of should we give enhanced rights to these people who have perpetrated terrible acts against us, bring them onto u.s. soil which would make that happen? we think we should have a chance to debate that issue. should we take the 21 amendments, including my friend, mr. mcdermott, which dramatically enhances the power of those who -- individuals and provides them new defense? again, i mention scott brown earlier and what resonated from his acceptance speech when he won the election was, we shouldn't be expending our taxpayer dol

but david mann hg toing had tol you sought to delay the position as long as possible and we heard from the lord and mrlications of the delay? >> absolutely. what was to be very clear, you could note do it unless the military were ready to do it. it is true, i explained this morning, for a time we were worried about the visibility of all the planning were do a certain amount of planning then you reach another level when you have to make it very visible and very clear. and we didn't want to do that for fear of triggering assumption we were actually going to do military action, irrespective of what was going to be happening at the united nations. however, when, i think it was at the end of october 2002, it was said to me, we've really got to get on with this and we did. i know it was said confident that the uk military was fully ready by the time we took the military action. >> but, i mean, was that assurance given to you because they wanted to give you a few of the -- the approach, do you think -- >> no. the one thing about the military, in my experience, is they tell you bluntly, quite rightly, what th

and david hedley and there are many other instances that have not been in the headlines, but those three which i have just mentioned have developed since last summer when this bill first came forward. mrss. and frankly since speaker pelosi has been leading this congress and the last congress. last year we went through the entire, entire calendar year, the first session of the hetcht congress, without a -- heaven -- 111th congress without a single open rule. never before in the now 221 year history of the republic we had that take place. we in fact in the last three years have, save the appropriations process in the first two years of speaker pelosi's leadership, we have had a grand total, mr. speaker, of one open rule. and now today we seem to be establishing another very disturbing and unfortunate record. it seems to me as we look at legislation in its first stage, which is where we are right now, in its first stage we are now considering not the second rule as my friend from atwater has said in his opening remarks, but in fact the third rule because this legislation last july was reported out of the rules committee. we had a rule. on july 3 we had a statement that came forward from
