jerry. it was the first and only time i saw balanchine lose his temper. i remember mr. b. ors. "i give you everything everything, everything everything," balanchine was red. "and all you do is complain, complain, complain, complain complain, complain complain, complain, complain!" and mr. b. went like this. oh, yeah, he was like this and jerry was like this. and he said to him finally he said, "you know if you don't like it here, get the hell out." jerry, he shrunk and he ran. and i bet you, he went home and he went "he's right, he's right." robbins, in a sense, never entirely lost that sense of being an outsider, for all of the acclaim all of the glory that his talent was able to bring him. robbins: i see the rages and discontents deeply rooted inside of me. and it seems to me that the anguish has been caused by this wrenching away from my true cultural background and the constant modification to assimilate myself whoring myself to become an american. as i grew up judaism seemed to be taluses and beards and eyes watering and smells that i didn't know, a language i couldn't

brady: i would like to yield one minute to the gentleman from new york, mr. jerry lander. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one minute. without objection. mr. nadler: thank you, madam speaker. the gimmick neighboring ture of this whole thing i won't elaborate on. it's been done before. the fact that this provision withholding pay from members of congress is unconstitutional as it varies members' pay is obvious. the argument that withholding pay for a year and a half or a year and 3/4 is not varying compensation, it's actually laughable and beneath respect. secondly, this is institutionalized bribery and extortion. it should never be considered. what this provision says is if you vote the way we think you ought to vote, you'll get paid. if you vote the way we think you should not vote, you will not get paid. that's why we have this provision in the constitution. we should not be bribing members. we should not say to a member, if you think the budget before you is not good for the country, vote against it and you won't get paid. if you thi

continues to take place there joining me now to talk more about this topic is journalist and author jerry van dyke mr van dyke wrote a book called captive my time as a prisoner of the taliban thank you for joining our team thank you mr van dyck as i mentioned the war on terror began some eleven years ago and u.s. troops according to president barack obama are expected to fully withdraw by the end of twenty fourteen is that a sign of victory or defeat in the so-called war on terror i don't think it's a sign of either one i think it's a sign that the u.s. public is tired of this we initially went in for one specific reason and that was to dismantle the government of the taliban and to destroy al qaeda now people ask why are we still there how many are there under president bush in the early part of the obama administration we heard the numbers fifty there may be fifty al qaeda left in afghanistan are we there because a fifty fifty al qaeda members know it is morphed into something far larger than that is it because. the former soviet union the former what we'll call the stands it was because ten tajiki

mr. president. joining me now, jerry taylor from the cato institute. great to have your.t's back in the president's hands once again. what is your betting on what you will -- you will do? >> i don't know. they don't send me internal memoranda. my guess is he will approve the pipeline. it's very difficult to say no. the state department already argued the filing sometime ago that it would have minimal impact on the environment. not a lot of dispute that this would be good for the economy. gasoline prices may have been sliding, but they seem relatively high command others think of the pipeline as a way of addressing that. given all that i suspect the president will approve the pipeline, but i could be wrong. gerri: as you know, the governor of nebraska said it will change the root of the pipeline and make it go around and offered that supplies water to the state of nebraska and other folks. is this going to be enough to satisfy the greenies out there? will the environmentalist be happy? >> it won't satisfy the environmentalists because there have always been to arguments. t
