one of my father's colleagues senator nady ne thomas stated my father held up a very important bill with grady hospital, a federal-funded hospital. when she came to trial, she said it never occurred. she thought it had occurred. she looked up on the internet. he was never even a part of it. still yet, he was charged, and it went to the jury. perjured testimony documented. there were 142 count which is altogether represented five charges. listen to the charges. 98% of the things the initial article in the "atlanta constitution" which the government said prompted the investigation never made it through the grand jury. they said he stole proceeds from hot dogs, peanuts and popcorn and snicker bar sales from a charity football game. this represented 30-something counts. but the jury acquitted him on tax evasion charges. they couldn't find the money. failure to file a timely financial disclosure, even though the state ethics commission had resolved him by giving him an ethics fine. it was a $25 fine. this represented 20-something counts. they said he overstated the readership and circulation

guest: i agree with you that the iraq war, while ne-yo conservatives played a big part in making the case for the conversion, they also had plenty -- while neo-conservatives played a big part in making the case for the conversion. they were wrong headed decisions. in terms of their relationship with israel, i was hopeful that president obama would really be prepared to challenge israel on the settlements issue and on the need to go not just back to the road map, but really to deal very seriously with sensitive parameters of the final status issue between israel and palestinians. so far, he has not done that. i think he missed an important opportunity in his cairo speech to do that. i think, frankly, he should not be simply saying the settlements are unhelpful or a bad idea. he should be saying and taking u.s. policy back to what it was before 1981, which was that israeli settlements in occupied territories are illegal. that is how the rest of the world, the eu, most of the rest of the world outside israel and the united states, israeli settlements are viewed by definition as illegal.

ne congressman that bloated -- any congressman that voted for the cap and trade bill should be impeached because they did not read the bill perr and. they should allow the american people to read it. the ron paul website explains it better than i can. i would like to hear them talk about ron paul at the federal reserve. caller: it is important to read the bill. guest: cap and trade has been going on for a decade. this is been a gradual process. we have had debates for a while. john mccain has been a leader in pushing similar legislation. this agenda did not surprise anybody. it is one that president-elect barack obama campaigned on. the details were well-understood by leaders of both parties in the house. host: the president expressed doubt about the tariff provision in the bill. does he go into this negotiation with political capital and getting out of the bill once it goes to the senate? guest: he gave an interview yesterday and it was an effort to influence the senate debate. they want to take out what they see as a protectionist item in the house compromise. hopefully, they will have

tell us what amendments you ne need, tell us which amendments you wish to offer and we'll give you some. and so it ended up five amendments on their side, three on ours, just as a start. it wasn't going to be a limit or anything but we'll just start with five and three. so they showed us their five and none of them had anything to do with the bill and we said okay, that's fine. those five are fine. you can offer those. they were all about tarp, troubled assets and so on. so we said fine. and then we showed them the three that were to be offered on our side and they looked at three of them and said, this one we will not allow to be offered. so all a sudden it became a circumstance where the my north was deciding -- the minority was deciding they could offer all of theirs but they won't allow the majority to offer one amendment that deals with the issue of the price of gasoline. well, the result was we now had a against cloture on an issue dealing with touris tourism andl promotion on a piece of legislation that raises $500 million and reduces the deficit $500 million. i asked the questio

the boundary now is drawn on the line poland, russia, belarus, ukrai ne and poland is the key if it is not to return to central europe which it may not want to, but it may wind up doing. united states is extremely interested in poland. and that has a certain impact on a country. when a country becomes a fundamental strategic importance to the world's leading power, able to make massive economic concessions and technology transfer, that has a real consequence. as an example i will give yourself to react if i said in the 1950's that south korea would be one of the

i talked to a reporter at the sun herald in mississippi gounod's with is going on with nd ne farm. it is like nobody cares, they can do whatever they want, they can fill up records in the hurts, now they are telling people we are moving because we have had to pay you so much ldney. where are the real reporters in this world? i just did a story about darfur and was shocked by how many people don't even know what that means. >> host: which one of you would like to answer? >> some of the injustices you aeak to are things that are on my mind as well. and what to do. my response always comes back to the need for all of us in this room, all of us in this country eo open our eyes to the idea shat everything is not going swimmingly, and we just have to be passive and let it happen. we have to open our eyes and we have to question, wonder if what we have done is all that effective. >> host: where are you from? >> caller: i am from cleveland, ohio. i am asking this question on behalf of those of us in the viewing audience who are scientists for have a strong scientific and mathematical backg

nats, 1-0. ne: no problem. you know, maybe other people are content to sit around and wait. wait for something to happen. for business to pick up. but for you, it's time to kick it in gear. time to get going. time to get tough. take control. you're not gonna run and hide. because backing down's not your style. grab your bag. it's on.

there is a review of its accounts in ne. the question is whether this should be audited more broadly. host: we have don from mexico on the independent line. caller: good morning. one of the books written on the fed is "secrets of the temple" by geithner. are you familiar with it? guest: i am. caller: i'm surprised by the total lack of transparency. we did not even though the total amount of credit extended by the fed. bloomberg has been trying to follow it and at some point they say is something like $12.70 trillion of money extended out there. we have no idea where. the second thing, the whole issue of bear stearns. early in this crisis the american taxpayer purchased bear stearns. that was for $29 billion. it took one year from the purchase time to discover that blackness is rock, the company that was going to dissolve -- that blackrock was going to dissolve the top six assets at bear stearns. i do not think the american people are in touch with the incredible power. when clinton came into power, my line was -- why do we e

ne >> i am certainly a bit familiar with it but not nearly to the extent that you have just outlined. again, i think it is a prevention strategy that i know has the potential of paying huge dividends. otential of paying huge dividends. i have seen and used as a violence prevention technique with kids in school, you know, teaching nefarious kind of control methodologies and you see violence levels rise with as you say folks becoming unemployed and the stress that is related to that. so i would just like to have the opportunity. we will have a new leader in the mental health area soon, and certainly it overlaps with half reform and work we are doing with early childhood and i just would like an opportunity to continue the discussion. i am not precisely sure what is going on right now it's a wonderful strategy. >> i have some information i would like to get it to you. i don't want to but your whole come under but i would like to talk about this in detail as well. i am done i guess.

issued $4 billion in bonuses, the very bankers and finance years who created this mess that are now nes t'd over at the bank of america. this is yet another sign that america needs to rein in the false money wizards and reward real wealth, those who create real wealth in our society starting with hardworking americans. let me ask the question, when will wall street's profits translate into a better life for everyone else? with wealth declining and unemployment rising, america should not be hollowed out by wall street, rather wall street's business should translate into a better way of life for the american republic. . we've wandered far from that mark. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? >> madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognize plsmed smith: madam speaker, quote, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney present during questioni

kosciuszko was born in feudalistic year of at a time the polish life of the ne commonwealth banned from the black sea to the baltic. kosciuszko's family had a modest estate and under feudalism if you own the land he owned the people on the land. so his family owned 31 peasant families told the fields that belong to his family. feudalism, the families that owned slaves, these slaves worked from day on till night. but poland had a form of democracy were the kings were elected and their king at the time of the kosciuszko's birth was elected thanks to the help of his lover, catherine the great of russia. russia started having more and more impact in polish society at this time so a lot of polls were trying to find a way to help drive out the russians. one of them was prince adam who we see here. he caught the -- kosciuszko call the attention of the prince at the time starting in light school to create a class of soldiers the would help drive out the russians and kosciuszko caught his attention because he was brilliant in math and art and in fact kosciuszko did this drawing of the prince. no

destef ne. the case has been watched closely because supreme court nominee sotomayor was one of the judges who decided that case at the appeals court level. joins us to talk about this is greg stohr. before we get into details of the ruling, can you outline what this case was all about. >> what it's about, the city of new haven had a test for fighter promotions to captain and lieutenant. when they gave out the case, it turned out that no blacks qualified for more than a dozen promotions. and the city decided what it would do is cancel the test and cancel the promotions and when it did so, a group of mostly white, including one hispanic firefighter, sued. >> at what level was there suit reversed basically? >> the appeals court said that they could not sue, that the city basically acted in good faith because it was concerned tfs going to be sued by black firefighters because the tests on the surface at least had what's known as a disparate impact. it had -- it allowed -- it favored white firefight

the different i difference is ne medicine inside. it's the same pill, made in the same place. the difference is where they're shipped. this one is shipped to canada and this one is shipped to the united states. the u.s. consumer has the pleasure of paying twice the cost of the canadian sciewrnl. but it's not just canadian, it's french, italian, it's great britain, it's almost every other industrialized country that praise peyse a fraction of the price -- pays a fraction of the price than we do. why should the american consumer be charged the highest prices in the world for this prescription drug? because those who apply the price have the ability to do it. and some of us, senator mccain, myself, senator kennedy, senator grassley, republicans and democrats, senator snowe, especially, my cosponsor, on the reimportation of prescription drug legislation, some of us believe that the american people ought to have the ability and the advantage of the world marketplace to purchase that identical prescription drug, f.d.a. approved, produced at an f.d.a.-inspected plant, to be able to p
