mrs. robinson came to malawi with me. they don't have to say any political statement, but just by coming to do something big for women is enough to begin to view that confidence in the people in you because when she came we opened together a maternity clinic as everyone in malawi knows that i'm talking about fighting, and as i went through my problems we went to ghana with the president and the president made a statement that we would not just stand by and watch a woman suffer and be abused and be threatened with death. at the end of that conference they made a statement and a decision was made that all women in africa were going to support joyce bank to get into leadership and because of that women issued statements condemning the government of malawi for treating me the way they were. all i am saying is why do women make better leaders? in africa it is time to get together and support one another and without fear of contradiction that i'm looking at five years with four or five women presidents.

mrs. robinson came to malawi with me. they don't have to say -- make a political statement, but just by coming as she said earlier to do something big for women is enough to begin to build that confidence in the people in you. because when she came, we opened together a maternity clinic. everybody in malawi knows i am not joking when i talk about fighting maternal mortality. and as i went through my problems in three days, we went to ghana with president ellen sirleaf. and president ellen sirleaf made a statement that we cannot just stand by and watch a woman suffer and be abused and be threatened with death. and at the end of that conference, they made a statement. a resolution was made that all women in africa were going to support joyce banda to get into leadership. and because of that, women's networks in africa issued statements condemning the government of malawi for treating me the way they were. all i am saying is while we know that women make better leaders? in africa it will be necessary for all of us to stand t

and rather than stop the crisis mitch mcconnell has turned it into a game at the politics of hope mr robinson can convince senator mcconnell to stop playing games and focus on what really matters the bad but the vatican how do you try to rebranding the image after a decade of controversy well if you're the vatican and pope benedict the sixteenth hire someone from fox so-called news to do p.r. the vatican has hired greg burke fox's rome correspondent help create a better communications policy and improve the church's image around the world in a statement about the higher in the vatican said it is trying to quote cope with years of communications blunders and one of its most serious scandals in decades and quote i don't know who vetted burke and i'm not sure of hiring someone who worked for a massage mystic homophobic and racially charged his network is really the best way to prove the vatican's p.r. . and the very very ugly congressman tom latham latham was on a radio show in iowa over the weekend when the host started talking about a group of catholic nuns that were traveling around the count

mr. robinson was kept in solitary confinement. >> that is attorney stuart andrews.said mentally ill prisoners in south carolina are actually twice as likely as others to be in solitary confinement and 2.5 times likely to receive a sentence in solitary that exceeds their projected release date from prison, and over three times as likely to be assigned to an indefinite period of time in solitary confinement. >> yes, i mean, that is par for the course. this guy and talking about, adam, he wrote a letter last week or the week before saying, don't tell my mother, but every night i am cutting into my arm ripped i cut further and further each night proved last night i reach the muzzle. i hope pretty soon to cut deep enough to bleed out. he wrote this in a letter to me. i'm saying, hang on, don't do this. you cannot get his public defender on the telephone? i mean, what in the world? this is new york state. >> i want to turn to a former texas death row prisoner anthony graves about his experience in solitary confinement we want to turn to the story, we hear about how he was

mr. mays did speak out on behalf of civil rights, and robinson was grateful for those moments. but it goes to show that civil rights leaders are not monolithic. there are huge differences between jackie robinson and many other civil rights leaders and african-american athletes. there are huge differences between bayard rustin and martin luther king jr. and malcolm x. he had fierce debates with malcolm x. and, in fact, by 1964 he's refusing to debate malcolm x because he believes that malcolm x has stepped so far out of the mainstream of civil rights leadership. when malcolm started to call for the formation of rifle clubs in 1964, bayard throws his hands up and says that i can't deal with malcolm's demagoguery anymore. i need to focus on something constructive. but your question gets to the, for me, points out a very important fact, and that is that these leaders are not ofne mind. they have different strategies, they have different timings in mind, they have a different seven of purpose as well -- sense of purpose as well. so don't lump them all together. thank you for your qu

mr. renne, inspector van cole, bernadette robinson. they worked extensively. having work that they view for the last 15 months during the evening and during the day and having experience, the dynamics of the club at 550 barneveld and things that affect us, trying to provide public safety services, it is quite and efficient plan. it is doable. it is quite fair to come back in six months. the idea of the permit was under much discussion in april, but it is fair for us to evaluate whether that condition should be lifted. i will answer your questions if you have any. president newlin: i think you are aware that your father was my training officer when i got out of the academy in 1970 in central park station. he is responsible -- >> i am aware of that now. president newlin: that is the only question i have. >> i will pass that along. president newlin: is there anybody else from the police department that wants to comment about this? seeing none, we will open it up for public comment. are there people from the public here to comment on this? no. ok. the matter is be

mr. gene robinson, pulitzer prize, back be me up on this. >> hope and change. >> donny, i will back you upc that in a year when we're all talking about how much money is coming in and the 30-second ads, this in the end can be i think will turn out to be a ground game election. because i do think people are kind of turned off, not terribly excited about this election, and i think it's going to be in large measure a contest between who can get their voters out. and get some level of excitement on the ground and actually get them to the polls and so it might be that old-fashioned get out the vote effort that really turns this election. >> meacham? >> gene, i wanted to ask you inside washington question physically, one of the things -- >> how can you do that if y're in manhattan? >> because he's there. >> oh. >> by the way, you just saw the pulitzer prizes. >> it's the pulitzer connection we have. >> we haven't done enough of that. one of the things you hear constantly is, that president obama doesn't talk to anyone. particularly on the hill. i'm just wondering how much of that feels as though

mr. chairman. >> before i recognize senator robinson, for the record, mr.o you have any for the argument? >> to the point on mexico? >> the argument that mr. gross just made to exploit and the royalties issue. >> i think the point and i think this is perhaps the most important question for the senate really is the suggestion is that if we don't join the convention, then we still get all the benefits. and so, it's a choice between joining the fought convention or her manager the convention u.s. companies get to do other things and don't have to pay anything. there seems to me a false choice based on the companies have been saying to us. if not to the royalties flow to the ifa. it's to the treasury. of course i had the choice i would much prefer to have all the royalties paid to the treasury. but the truth seems to be companies will either mine and the deep seabed and the sentimental continental shelf and are willing to pay groceries under five years or that the u.s. government to do it or they won't do it at all. said the choice is either lots of royalties t

mr. yule did. he did what any god-fearing, persevering, respectable white man would do in the circumstances. he swore out a warrant. no doubt signing it with his left hand. and tom robinson now sits before you having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses. his right hand. so humble, respectable, quiet negro who had the unmitigated at the merit to feel sore -- temerity for a white person. i need not remind you of their appearance or conduct on the stand. you saw them for yourselves. the witnesses of the state, with the exception of the sheriff of macom county, has presented them to yourselves, you gentlemen, of the court in their confidence that their testimony would not be doubted. believing that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption, the evil assumption that all negros lie, that all negros are basically immoral beings, that all negros are not to be trusted around our women. which, gentlemen, as you know in itself a lie as black as tom robinson's skin. a lie i do not need to explain to you. you know the truth and the truth is this -- that some negros lie. some negros are immoral. some negros are not to be trusted around women, black or whi

i ask unanimous consent that sean robinson and shannon smith of my staff be granted floor privileges. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. harkin: i want to applaud the senior nor from maryland for introducing and fighting so hard for so long for the paycheck fairness act. again just to repeat what has been said here before, but i think needs to be repeated time and time again, in 1963 congress responded to wage disparities between men and women passing the equal pay act. at that time, 29 million female workers earned just 60% of the average pay for men. so now nearly half a century after the passage of that landmark law, we have made some progress towards eliminating this gross inequality. but it's not enough. there should be no gap. but today a wage gap continues to exist within every segment of our economy, at all education levels and in all occupations. so for every dollar that a man earns now, a woman earns just 77 cents. well, that's better than 60 cents, as it was in 1963. but you'd think a half a century later we'd at least be equivalent. but now it's still just 77 cents. women's lower wages add up tremendously
