obviously a nelson rockefeller has been gone for quite awhile, so the npr republicans, there are a lot of them in new england but they are all over the country as well. they tend to be more affluent, older, socially moderate, fiscally conservative republicans. they would be appalled by this birth control discussion and think abortion is a personal choice. they don't get into the socialist cuba they are fiscally conservative. they were turned off during the bush years by the mismanagement of government by the growth of government under the republican congress that president by the iraq war to read some of them voted for barack obama in 2008. but they didn't like the health care reform from the didn't like the growth of government and they are very much up for grabs this time around, and i would have said that mitt romney would be the perfect candidate to appeal to these npr republicans. i'm not sure now come and by the time who knows where things will stand. i will say that the npr republicans are the fund-raisers but there are plenty of them out there and they've been out of office bec

my specific concern as an organization, we don't have a specific stance on npr. i will tell you right now, i sit here and i can imagine watching the prospects of china stepping in if we can't do business. for my administration, i have to represent them and i would say that what we need is no matter what happens from nptr, we need some action zealing with the government, dealing with the judges, dealing with a value added tax that is totally unfair. where we hopefully will not wind up with a situation like china where i get more money from honduras than i do from china. it's terrifying. >> because my time is so short, that's the point i'm trying to make here. that's the things that we could hold china to, we had a very thick document with china. yet you the report that i held up. it's very difficult after you have granted the status to then get them to really fulfill the commitment that they have made. that's the concern we have about granting the status to russia prior to the negotiation of the other two legs of the stool. i'm not suggesting that we have perfecti

looking at the fact that right now npr's listenership is growing.ion weekly as of 2009. and, na fact, morning edition and all things considered have 14 million listeners a week. now, that suggests to me that, for as much as we talk badly about the american populous and we say, they don't like nuance, they don't want npr voice, they want bombastic, the fact is that people are tuning in to long conversations, to issues that breathe and to multiple, complex ways of imagining the world. >> right. people are sick of infotainment. people get turned off and alienated as citizens. there is a real hunger for all of the things you just articulated and npr is hopefully one of the things that provides it. and all public radio. >> thank you so much to my radio hosts for being here and staying with me a little longer. >>> coming up, say stunning development in the death of a 17-year-old, trevon martin, the phone call that tells a key part of the story. named a 2012 iihs top safety pick. not...that... we'd ever brag about it... turn right. come on, nine. turn left
