mr. martin and he is going to talk about the prescription drug operation that we have been working with and will continue to, please. >> thank you. as chief gascon just said, last month on september 25, the d.e.a. with its state and local counterparts throughout the nation conducted its firstever nationwide prescription takeback program. on that day in just a four-hour period, we collected over 242,000 pounds of prescription drugs nationwide. thanks to the overwhelming response of the public that these unused and unwanted prescription drugs have been in people's medicine cabinets for years sometimes are now, have now been properly disposed and communities are safer and more likely to be drug-free. the overwhelming support we got by the public demonstrated that there is a clear need for a permanent solution to the problem of safely disposing unused and unwanted prescription drugs. and the september 25 event highlighted the value of that recently pass secure and responsible drug disposal act of 2010. the president just signed this into law yesterday and this legislation is going to allow d.e.

mrs. martin's english class -- >> thank you. >> i would be a fool to give my opinion of them because of therrassing fact that i know all of them. >> but forget your opinion of the individuals. if you were to look at the practice of dealing with information this this country compared to the world you are working in and basically, the sense of certain things being true. certain facts being facts. and certain other things being opinions or r speculations, fast forward to 2010 with the internet and all the rest of it and it's harder and harder at least from my perspective, to differ from all of that and that is which is not. >> i feel inundated by the flood of unnecessary news, of hyped news. of news that says, a slams b in his speech and you think, oh, boy, i want to see him slammed and what he said was he should probably be more careful about his notes. everything has to be a fight or a slam, mr. right, mr. left, who's up and who's down. one of the many fallacies that irritates me is that every subject have two sides. of course not. some have one and some have seven. >> do you think that news

mr. allen martin. here's a look at lake curry.his is taken from our mount vaca cam in napa county hire. lake curry is supposed to be good for fishing now like to fish. here's a look down in san jose, and we have plenty of sunshine. so sunshine expected across the bay area today. and just like allen mentioned, it is going to be cooling down and eventually a chance of showers returning to the bay area. this afternoon mostly sunny and keillor, cooler, 60 at the coast, sunshine and cooling down. partly cloudy conditions expected for tonight with valley fog well inland. patchy fog around the bay and also some fog at the coast. it will cool down and we are expecting fairly light winds so that's why we are also expecting some fog to develop. overnight lows in the upper 30s to the mid-50s. so here's what's happening. nice cooling trend building in, complimentsof a low pressure system. it's still far off. but the closer you get to the bay area, the more little pact our forecast. that's you can. that's why we'll have a chance of showers in

mr. martin? guest: warren buffett does not heed his monthly check, but there is a big difference between low-income seniors to rely heavily on their social security check, like a mentioned my mother who worked into her 80's, but there are others who do not need it but they pay in. the fact of the matter is that there is a level before the tax kicks in for the wealthier seniors. someone said it that would add a couple of weeks to the system which is overburdened by the fact that we have too fewer workers. when the system started, as someone put it, they say the seniors conveniently died at 65. now we are living in to our 70's 80's, and a 90's which is putting its financial strain on the system. host: and your asks, i am 74 and i am for health care reform. my gap is about $2,000 in california. will i be able to drop the program and have similar coverage? i doubt it. talk about the cost aspects, at least in your opinion, of the president's plan? guest: they are talking about billions and billions of

martin luther king stream. never has he said come on let's move in this direction and here is why. obama forgive me quotes by mr. kane. as martin luther king said, and uses the phrase, the fierce urgency of now. all that obama means by that as we should all act right now to do what he says. in other words, he is just invoking king to mobilize people to a act on this behalf. so what is obama stream? the beauty of this is that we don't have to guess. we don't have to speculate because obama tells us himself. here is barack obama's autobiography. i direct your attention to the title. dreams from my father. according to obama, his dream is his father's dream. infinitely his book is not coddled, dreams of my father. obama is not writing about his father streams. "dreams from my father" means these are my dad's dreams that i, obama, have taken. which raises an interesting question. who was barack obama senior? obama's dad? what was he like as a man and what are his ideas? interestingly as a man, barack obama senior was a deeply flawed guy. he was a polygamist. in fact, he was born in kenya. he married a woman in keny

martin. and a lot holding on what mr. cameron is about to say. >> well, that's right. he's expected to deliver the speech in the next couple of hours. that will be at peking university here in beijing. and the prime minister is expected to praise china for its economic growth or economic freedom, as he put it. saying that it benefited the country and the world. and that economic growth leads to a greater political opening in china. and those are expecting to be his words. and expected to say that will ensure stability in china. he's been under a lot of pressure to mention human rights, and since the winning of nobel peace prize last month. what is not clear if he will mention leo's name during this speech. he's trying to balance the issue of doing trade with china. without wanting to lecture or hector the leaders over the issue of human rights. >> absolutely this, is a trade mission. he's out there with some britain's top leaders and industrialists. and they want china it do business with the united kingdom. >> that's right, and the signs of two or three major deals as

she joins us along with roland martin and we have eric erikkson. melanie i mentioned mr.owell was with him but not formally representing him. you say the congressman could be committing an ethic's vice during his trial. how so? >> if in lowell was representing him, let's just understand this. is mr. lowell -- are mr. rangel, are they saying that abbie lowell happened to walk by the ethic ice committee room and happened to walk in when mr. rangel was having his hearing and happened to sit in a reserved seat and walk out with the congressman and guide reporters? that seems unlikely. it does seem like he was, in fact, giving advice. >> can he be there as a friend? >> certainly. but given mr. lowell's well-known position as a plom nent legal defense fund who handles these kinds of matters that doesn't seem likely in these circumstances. >> does this pass the smell test for him to claim he didn't know he could set up a legal defense fund? >> i don't understand why that wasn't set up. but recognize, he was paying for his defense out of a campaign fund. had a significant war che

martin luther king, jr. >> reporter: the pain of this moment and that history filled the room. >> i hope mr. barner, in his statement, did not imply my lack of love for my country. >> reporter: the alabama republican who so forcefully chided rangel, stopped to praise his past. >> i'm grateful that you came and did what you did. >> reporter: but this hearing was about weighing punishment. >> it is my recommendation for a censure. >> i was not trying to criminally hide anything from the irs or from the congress. >> reporter: tapping a broader angry in the country, the committee said he broke the public trust. he pleaded for what he called a drop of mercy. >> i don't know how much longer i have to live, but it always will be to try to help people and to thank god for what he's given to me. >> reporter: and now the full house of representatives will consider censure. that's considered a serious penalty, just short of expulsion. he would be forced to go to the floor of the house and be rebuked publicly. he's also been ordered to pay back any taxes he may still owe. >> kelly o'donnell on capitol h

martin, but jerry lewis, the congressman in charge of appropriations committee. he is term limited out because he served three terms but he wants to wave term limits and stay in there. he is mrhe didn't like. republicans committed to eliminate earmarks. they have to push the guys like that aside. for most part, boehner is doing a good job of staffing this place with conservatives. the big move was he put paul ryan in charge of the budget committee. probably the smartest republican and the smartest conservative on capitol hill. he's doing okay. the real fight is going to come with the republicans have to hold the line against bail-out to the state or tax increase. you'll find uniformity there. i don't think anyone will dare stray from that position. >> greta: talk about earmarks. so far they're not throwing earmarks out. we don't know yet. the rules have yet to be adopted. i think the new chairman of the appropriation committee will oppose the e-mail. they've called for elimination of earmarks and i they're marks are going down. i don't think you will have them in the session of congress from the republican. >> greta: 30 seconds left. what happens with the tax bill? >> i thin
