the only people that i'm able to affect are the people who care about what i have to say. there is something you can do, but i'm sure it wouldn't be, uh...easy. different man: i get angry about it, but it's like... ya' know, in my own apartment. [laughs]

some people won't. some people will never be the same. like that thing with katrina, some people are really good but you can tell just under the surface that they are a wreck. give them space, try to be professional, try to comfort them if you can, but some people won't let you. and don't take it personal. that's the main thing, just don't take it personal. sometimes people just can't be helped. they are not mad at you, they don't hate you, you are trying to help them. they probably understand that, but they have suffered a terrific loss and some people you can't help. but try. you got to try anyway. that's kind of why we're here, we want to try. some other feels, disorientation, physical or emotional numbness, loss of trust or abandonment, cranky. i would be. if i had to go shave in the marina medal school, my cat ran away, i'd be pissed. team behavior, be calm. you don't want to be excited and crazed. be systematic, demonstrate by example. if you are calm and cool and under control, people will see you are there to help. if you act like

of course i mean we have two million people die of hiv infection every year and these are not people who die of old age i can tell you that the average age of people who die in russia is thirty two years this is pretty ostracism in. our keeping people alive and people are staying alive thanks to administration of these products and we have now five billion people on antiretrovirals and response to that that mortality has decreased so much that people live a normal life. professor would you like to reply that i generally disagrees with you on that strongly disagrees with you on. it disagree with a result providing any evidence. the only people said forty million thirty forty million are not doing well it's the people who are getting these talks. talks. to try and we need d.n.a. synthesis that's the central molecule of life here dying from that by prescription and five hundred cells and people of these talks alone in the u.s. all of from now die about half of them die from diseases that have nothing to do with that have never been a trip to the right to eat before life when we go to th

i mean, people can have relapses because people in real life have relapse. but indeed as you have mentioned, you know, brothers & sisters, i have to tell you did, the youngest of the brother and sister cohort had a problem when he came back from service abroad and comes in and he relapse. and they handled it quite well. i think they did win, you know, one of the prism awards because of that. and how would you let people in recovery know how important it is for them to get engaged and get involved? well, i think it has to be a story of hope and there is life after addiction. how i would get it is, you know, now that i'm sitting here thinking is i'm going to do it on intherooms.com, the mass membership of people in recovery to get involved and to watch these shows and to make comments and to respond to what they see right and to respond to what they see that's inaccurate. writers do listen to audience comments. so if viewers, you know, disagree or are concerned about something and they write to writers and producers, they talk to us all the time about the feed

you know black panther said power to the people power to all people. we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know we've become. like people in third world countries. look to america and say you know you guys are really seem like you got it together. yet. it's not really together it's just a facade of you know everybody is the makeup is there but behind the makeup is kind of like kind of like chaotic if it's not a democracy here in the united states what is it that's a good question it's a good question. when people can speak up when they can have a peaceful protests. about injustices that's in the community is for something as small as from police brutality to what's going on in the with the oil spill. and be active when you have the people dissatisfied what was going on with the policies then you have to wake up in the morning president obama has to work a bit more say i what am i going to do about what's going on in. detroit all fifty fifty five schools it's called harm are going to deal with this like we're talking about th

all of the people on social security are poor people. no rich people are on social security. if they are, they don't need it. what bank president making $400 million a year need social security? if they want to reduce the deficit, how many troops do we have in germany and france? they don't give a heck about us. bring those troops and their families home. let germany and france to defend themselves. i was there in 1951 and in 1952, and france still has signed up, americans, go home, g. i's, go home. they don't care anything about america. why are we spending money to put troops on their soil? host: if all those troops came home right now during the economic situation, trying to get jobs, where for every one job there are five people unemployed, what would happen? caller: what is happening to the european economy? they are supporting germany and france, and they don't give a hoot about us. bring those people home. host: moving on to columbia -- columbus, ohio. independent line. caller: i think one way to raise revenue is to tax the religious organizations and the turks -- chur

that's a wide span of people.ost: a typical member of congress, you used the figure seven earlier, as the number of employees in that member's office, is that pretty much an average? guest: that's on the smaller side i would say. that would be for a younger house member probably would have about seven. i mean but there are some senators who have as many as 25, 30 staff. and these are usually people who also say chair a committee. they'll have kind of staff members that work for both the personal office and the committee as well. but they're still considered you know, paid by both the committee's budget and the member's budget and the personal office. so you can get quite large staffs that way. host: dave in newton, mass. go ahead. caller: good morning. i have a question for your terrific and talented guest. and i was just wondering, now, are the staffers fall under the feca, federal employee compensation act, are they entitled to if they're injured doing some -- performing their functions, are they afforded all th

that i believe change will happen when you have people exchanging ideas when you have people seeing democracy in action the problem with frank is that he believes that change will occur by maintaining a fifty plus policy that has been has narrowed actually to cuba if anything it made things worse i mean people will still not have what i believe assess the needs of life but that's. the ninety miles maybe i'll make you tell me that we're going to go to bed and i don't know you know well i'll tell you one thing that's not what i believe and you don't know me you know of my problem is what i would like to see is to people you know you know panel discussion well but i don't talk about your problems so you seem to talk about my frank make a point to be frank make a point go ahead please make a point the point is wait is that for example let me let me say this you talk about a number of things you said about israel for example female cows for a rope broke relations with israel feel castree shame today that the israelis want to send it back into gas chambers that is not the kind of governme

in that case, all point for people under 65 will have to take care people -- 1.4 people under 65 will have to take care of people over 65. that is a big project to plant. we have continually tried to lessen the burden, but always the benefits have outpaced. isn't that a quarter of the national income now. -- this is a quarter of the national income now. we have to create new ways to change the system. a new growth strategy was announced recently, predicting that we will make a $500 billion market, 2.8 million jobs. in order to turn the base of the birth rate as well, this is a long-term plan and the government is trying to give up $140 per child, regardless of income of the household, monthly. that is huge money, but in order to lessen the burden on households, it is necessary. education -- the government is making high school tuition-free now. what is also needed in my view is that we have to improve our english-speaking capability in japan. english has become an international language. my plan hopefully is that we will send all of the middle school teachers to home state or go to co

so people with hiv and aids- there are resources here for those people. substance abuse, mental illness- there are a lot of resources in the tenderloin for those people. and it's a place where people who have special needs such as those can live their lives. you know there was a time, not so long ago, there was a time where there was discrimination against people with hiv and aids, so the tenderloin was a place where people could find housing instead of other parts of the city. chris: the tenderloin development corporation a community development corporation, is i think one of the biggest in san francisco. they have retrofitted a large number of buildings in the tenderloin. their mission is to provide housing to tenderloin residents. the model of community development has been popular for decades in san francisco. this is largely in response in this city and many other cities across the country to the failed plans of the 1960's and 1970's and top-down approach where cities said we know better than the residents. and you see examples in 4th street and the

most of the people in prison as sex offenders are not those people. i call them romeo and juliet's. he is 19 and she is 16 or she is 19 and he is 16. that is the most of the mark. let's face it -- we should know, especially in san francisco, that as human beings, we are not really comfortable with sex. some of us do not even know who we are, right? from day to day, right? you know, i mean, sex is a very complicated issue. the idea that sexual behavior and people's aberrations with it or problems with it or confusions should send them to present for life sentences. in wisconsin, they have the same thing in iowa and illinois -- actually have built prisons just for sex offenders. can you imagine? the entire prison are sex offenders, mostly young men. that is what they are. young men who are confused about their sexuality. as my son was or your son was. i'm going to continue with this, just some of the suggestions we have had. get rid of the word "officer." you have police officers -- isn't that enough? we have, like, 2 million of them. it should be social workers, correctional workers.

a dispirited people. they've lost confidence in themselves and that should never be allowed to happen. it happens because somewhere in that glorious, long career of harry reid, he stopped caring about people. he became more concerned about washington and the interests there that had his coffers every election cycle. the deals he can cut, the deals that often land on the backs of hard-working taxpayers. this stuffe to make up. you have witnessed it over the past year. i'm not telling you anything you don't already know. what i'm asking you to do is go out and share that story, that reality, that truth with the people of nevada. help them appreciate what six more years of harry reid will mean for them. just the thought is scary in and of itself. but you have the facts and you have the candidates who will deliver not just the facts but the hearts, the heart, the people of this state that beats in unison with the folks all across this country who want a better life for their kids. we cannot afford to be the f

water to people, getting food to people, supporting people for the last six months. i mean, you have complete support of people in these camps, little businesses that popped up, but i mean, they are getting food, they are getting their water. you know, people are being fide clear rubble by hand, getting $5 a day, but without the heavy quip, it is just making a small dent. that is how a lot of the money has been spent. a lot of ngos have held onto their money, waiting for some sort of plan, some sort of reconstruction plan, which has not yet really appeared. and so, a lot of ngos still have money they are holding onto so that once there is a master plan for how to remove the rubble, once there is a master plan, they will be able to start to move forward. the big money, the millions needed here, according to the the world bank, estimate 10 to 11 billion may be needed to rebuild that money is being pledged by governments around the world and that money has been very slow in coming. >> all right. so sanjay you on the medical front, is there a plan that seems to be in any

really start to imagine how i feel if people were doing to me what i was doing telling people on a regular basis of storming into people's homes sometimes in the middle of an i think lives and in children's faces. some blame the type of war the us was fighting for the psychological trauma so many american soldiers are now going through it was a very disorienting and destabilizing condition of warfare for most american soldiers to try to separate the benign populace from the insurgents who wanted to kill them that were absolutely indistinguishable from regular civilians. that the latter. even according josh stieber signed a letter of apology to the mother of the children hurt during the operation and pledged to change from the side out against chicken r. t. washington d.c. phyllis bennis from the washington institute for policy studies moves classifying military records as a strategy to hide the failures of the war in afghanistan from the public. i think that things get kept secret for a reason often that reason is to prevent political embarrassment to prevent the american people in this ca

it really has and americans are resilient people. they are innovative people. they are hard working people. but the problem i think we have now, john, is we are no longer the producers we once were. we are consumers. we used to be a family centered society. we are now a self-centered society. consumerism takes up 70% of everything we produce. we don't save like other countries did. it's the character of the nation and character of the regime, if you will, the government, we are a welfare, big government state that we weren't when you and i were growing up. i think there are a lot of changes. >> why didn't you say the immigration population, because it is a land of opportunity. >> but look, the immigrant population today, they come, john, and the vast majority of them become beneficiaries of government who pay less in taxes than they consume in benefits and that's a change from the generation of 1890 to 1920. >> eleanor, you think we still have a hard work ethic and hard work brings results? >> i am going to quibble with several of these statistics. the stock ma

people or white people, they lose them as people who happen to be black, white, latino. when a baby cries for food at night, living in a household that's below the poverty level in this country, the baby doesn't cry in black or white or latino. the baby cries in lunger. so there is shthu of race, class embedded within race that has to be part of the discussion. and the way out kind of like the way we got in. one shovel at a time. it's not a quick fix. but there clearly has to be efforts to mark our progress. and i'm not saying that shirley sherrod is an effort or a marking but i can tell you that every time something like this happens, we tend to be better not worse as a nation because we are forced to come to grips with thing that is we don't always want to discuss. joo host: wung of the things that came out is a little bit of her history, econcerning the farmer she was helping. guest: she was 17. her father was shot in the back by a white man. it was never found guilty. she could have been bitter the rest of her life and used that as an excuse. and what she talks about

none of our people want to be food stamps. we are hard-working people. but we make our living off the waters. we depend on tourism to pay our bank notes. you have to four months to make it. four months to make it and turn to the oil field. you get off the shrimp boat and go to the oil rig. by stopping drilling, it doesn't make sense. you took everything away from us -- not you, took everything away from us to make a living. and we don't fema to come in and give us a check. we don't want to live off the government or b.p. just help us, help us get through thed red tape. as far as the agencies fighting, give us a chance, get us on the barge and watch us throw the rocks in. watch the oil come and stay right there in that area. as far as the passes, we aren't going to block them all the way. remember 1930, cooper bell was all one island. today, the opening is 7,100 feet wide. we just want to bring it back and close it to 1,200 feet. we did the studies and models but to have little coalitions here fighting us and have 95 pages when we try to save our lives, s

we have too many people in prisons to our liking people out of city college. what is happening is more than an outrage. the systethis is something thate take immediate steps to protect. we have seen that this falls on deaf ears. unless the people make their voices heard, we will not see change. we know this is a recipe for failure. going forward, we must become involved in the justice system. this is not someone else's problem. we will sit and wonder why the crime rates have gone up. >> when you think about the cost to our society and every person that lives in our society. it becomes very clear that we have no option but to act and act now. i am hoping that you will be motivated to get involved in non ordinary justice. we have yet to live up to that promise. i look forward to working with all of you call ever to pla. we invite you to stay with us. we look forward to continuing this dialogue in the future. thank you very much.

they are -- a lot of people who are not local people are getting jobs that other people need. and there are a lot of recreational benefits, we understand. out-of-state tax. doing some work that the local people need. >> one of the things that we're concerned about and we appreciate all the contractors coming in on the first day and the second day helping out, but now we're 80-something days into it and we want mississippiians working in those jobs. >> we work with several contractors. have an obligation to pay for their jobs. and that is one way to ensure that local people get jobs and apparently that's not happening. they are -- a lot of people who are not local people are getting jobs that other people need. and there are a lot of recreational benefits, we understand. out-of-state tax. doing some work that the local people need. >> one of the things that we're concerned about and we appreciate all the contractors coming in on the first day and the second day helping out, but now we're 80-something days into it and we want mississippiians working in those jobs. when jobs that

did not help people break the law. -- do not help people break the law. it is a primary federal responsibility. for years, i have said the fact that we have people illegally in this country sitting in our jails and california is reprehensible. they should be transferred to federal custody, serve out their time and federal prisons, and be deported. it should not even be a state responsibility. yet, in california, tens or hundreds of millions of dollars very year are spent a and un reimbursed by the federal government for incarcerating people. guest: congressman, that is the crux of the federal lawsuit put forth by the justice department that the federal government has the responsibility and the authority over this type of issue, and that the constitution says that where the federal government is dominant and where there exists already federal regulation that a state cannot preempt that. guest: people quote the constitution tend to be selective when they quote it. the administration is being selective. the supremacy clause has been well understood to be a s

i know a lot of people don't support the war and a lot of people do.in essence, it does not matter when you are talking to an individual american soldier. host: rikki, raleigh, north carolina. caller: hello, ma'am. i want to thank you for trying to cover us over there in afghanistan. i served with the infantry ett, anwhich i know you covered. the cause you received, like what we suffered -- calls you receive are like what we suffered in the population. the higher command and authorities don't understand what is going on on the front lines. they give us rules that don't apply in reality. and the public doesn't care. if they would understand what to support us -- i understand and want to support us, give us jobs and support education. thank you for covering us. guest: thank you very much, sir. thank you for saying that. yes, that is an excellent point. words are great and they are necessary. if you can give a veteran of military service the job, that is fantastic. brendan o'byrne, when he came back from afghanistan -- he was an incredible soldier. the sk

at the time, we were helping a few hundred people each year, and today, we fell over 2000 people -- wed over two dozen people clean up their criminal records. our goal is to help people have a dignified return from the criminal justice system. -- we help over 2000 people clean up their criminal records. the panel today is entitled "paving the road to reentry: clean slate and state law and criminal record reform." the discussion comes at a time when there is an unprecedented amount of people incarcerated. these individuals are returning from prison at the rate of 600,000 per year. in california, that rate is 115,000 per year. in california, over 1 million people have a conviction record, and one in five individuals have an arrest or criminal conviction. so we have to ask ourselves -- is criminal record reform an urgent priority for california? and if so, what is being done? and how can we go further? let's hear what our distinguished panel has to say. our first panelist is dr. steven richardson, a renowned author and professor of criminal justice at the university of wisconsin oshkosh.

people. might feel good so let's do it. you can't demand the morality of woodstock and not expect some terrible tragedies to be wrought from that. now, it can also be pointed in the direction of the loss of life of the unborn. we used to talk in terms of over 40 million abortions. now we're talking about over 50 million abortions. so we got to get back to a morality that recognizes there's something more important than ourselves and it's not the government. it is that we have been undo youed by our creator with certain unalienable rights and those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. and unless we're willing to fight for our endowment, to fight for our inheritness, then as so many generations and so many countries before us we lose that for which so many paid the ultimate price. now, mr. speaker, i was informed that there is a bill that needs to be taken up at this time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair lays before the house the following enrolled bill. the clerk: h.r. 4173, an a

kennedy's people he grew up with these people he you know because of this upbringing he became a technocrat he became somebody who is more oriented with the details and not with bold kind of leadership with consensus he was no drama obama he was born that way as a child and you're seeing that now and with the departure of somebody like david plouffe you all we have these kind of technocrats in charge that don't see the big picture but he is working with these drama queen with rahm emanuel who he took over here from chicago with a mission that guy at least have some mastery and help him out i think it's a little bit there's a lot more to it than that we're bears a little brains you know when we all encounter the world we see a new thing and if that thing isn't in context you put it into a context for president obama the context is intellectually he puzzles it out. wrong. manual is is a is a is a battle in the house and the senate he doesn't provide the context these events have happened without a clear context so for example the firing of the agriculture person it didn't have a context and s

people going into nursing homes when they can stay out. people not getting the care they need. when they get care, it is often too costly. anyone who has managed anyone with a chronic illness will know about the tests that are repeated and services redone because they are not available the first time. medical errors, to give us an exasm, as a country we spend about there are 30 billion fixing medical errors every year. all of that money, if you think about it, we could use for much better things. so what is the common denominator? it is lack of any organization or lack of any way of making the system work. you have people who are healthy who sometimes get sick and then oftentimes need various medical services. the services that they need are all completely disorganized. they go to a primary care figgins who sometimes talks to a specialist. they go to the hospital and then leave the hospital. huge failures to keep track of people. the cost of that is probably about $10 billion to $15 billion a year, all because people aren't thinking the way that a system does. there is no organ

we have a government of the people by the people and for the people. "for the people."ow can we ensure in the decisions made by these lobbyists that are influenced by the obvious -- influenced by the lobbyists, how can we ensure these decisions are for the people and not for the special interests? thank you. guest: that is a difficult issue. you can argue that it becomes more transparent if there is more sunlight, that everyone can see what is going on. that will show that the public interest is served. there are two problems with that. you can shine all but the light you want on a 2300 page bill that is full of legalese that is almost impossible to read in any comprehensible way and it may not do much good in informing the public. the second issue is what is definition of the public interest? it is -- is it in the public interest that green energy products continue to get a tax break or is it not? these things become very complicated. the issue i tried to pinpoint in this article, and it is a difficult one, that the more complicated and intrusive government is the high

people are coming down knobbhill. the cable car picks people up. takes them to work. >> there still is no other device to conquer these hills better than a cable car. nobody wanted to live up here because you had to climb up here. with the invention of the cable car, these hills became accessible. he watched horses be dragged to death. cable cars were invent in san francisco to solve the problem with it's unique, vertically challenged terrain. we are still using cars a century old >> the old cable car is the most unique thing, it's still going. it was a good design by then and is still now. if we don't do something now. it's going to be worse later. >> the cable cars are built the same as they were in the late 1800's. we use a modern machinery. we haven't changed a thing. it's just how we get there. >> it's a time consuming job. we go for the quality rather than the production. we take pride in our work and it shows in the end product. >> the california line is mostly locals. the commuters in the morning, i see a lot of the same people. we don't ha

for a love for our homeland and our nation love for our good people families where people don't just date and then break up but rather they get married in church they don't practice abortions they don't support interesting marriages. or ethnically mixed communities and what are your thoughts and. me i'm not russian i'm african american i'm here are you upset that your government gave me a visa what are your thoughts on that. i believe everyone should live in their own homeland where they belong. armed with this believe and inspired by racists blocking her husband. and two fellow students. market in two thousand and six they target it because of the number of traitors that come from central asia and china a blast killed fourteen attacks against looking people are often brutal and in cases like yours kosky market they are deadly the deeds of angry mobs outnumber victims all recorded by racist and then posted on nationalist websites. activists called the situation out of control when a local nonprofit crime watchdog group acknowledges it is slowly getting better like you know what needs

what about the number of people of people who work off the books? how are we going to deal with all cash? lost wages, for example. this is tough. i am told that everybody in the gulf -- there is nothing illegal about cash. i am suggesting that you have to corroborate or prove you're lost. i cannot just take your word for it. how are we going to demonstrate, corroborate, approved lost cash emergency payments? show me your tax returns. some of the people in the gulf say they lost their tax returns. what about a profit loss? what about a letter from your ship captain dobbin for the payments? -- and vouching for the payments? i will bend over backwards to help anybody who claims lost wages or lost business in an all cash business. i have to work out some criteria. they must receive a 1099 from a facility. i cannot violate federal law. i am very cognizant of that problem. finally, i am very cognizant of the problems raised by various members of what constitutes it -- constitutes an eligibility plan. if you are a beachfront restaurant and there is well on

military has been able to use this for now for people in iraq. do they feel like this is something that the u.s. did on purpose you know when they see the effects and they see the. higher rates of birth defects and cancer rates are they feel like this is the u.s. trying to poison them on purpose or do they you know take into account that these are weapons that perhaps no one really knew what the effects might be until now well i mean one of the effects of the weapons people know to certain different extents what they are i mean whether it's the direct killing of civilians which actually did happen to fit in fallujah or whether it's effects of depleted uranium which has been recorded from one thousand nine hundred ninety one war after the invasion of kuwait so it's not necessarily new now how he has always been tried to be denied so yeah there are some things that i rather like agree with you but the thing is i mean different records will see in different ways so it depends on who you speak with but a lot of ordinary citizens will say to you that

but there are certain people out there who run people out of their, throw a limb in jail, giving people tickets, dragging off their cars -- throwing people in jail, giving people tickets, dragging up their cars. that is part of the game to push us out. >> a lot of our children are foster care. what are we doing about them? we know that a lot of the young men are committing these crimes. how are we addressing milk? -- how are we addressing them? you can get it easier than you can get an apple. that is not our fault, and we are trying to change that. we need liquor stores to be better neighbors because the people hanging in front of liquor stores are not buying milk and bread. they are buying cups of liquor, by a cigarette. they are doing other things. we are trying to make sure that people understand that if you have a liquor store, you can provide other services as well. looking at the best liquor stores and saying that this is a good standard. we want liquor stores to be like this throughout the city, good neighbors. we are trying to take back our streets, get different uses, and peopl

people. tell me how the authorities during the fires. well we have a graphic to show what they're up against i hope we can pull that up in time basically eighty six thousand two hundred thousand acres have gone up in flames flames and there's more than three hundred hotspots throughout central russia so that gives you kind of an idea of what these firefighters are going through now two hundred thousand firefighters have been dispatched. to help contain and battle this blaze but the emergency ministry says look we simply need need more bodies to put out the fires yes some fires have been put out but there's many more that are still raging. that we can. after this unusually hot summer will be a cold winter so we need to at least provide people with temporary housing and immediately start the construction of permanent homes both the russian government and the regional administrations should certainly resume to finance these needs. these are. just exhausted in the time are there any signs of. help everyone fighting these wildfires. well as y

so about sars there's nothing wrong with people going to the us to watch i'd like to see people who want to get rid of the ground trying to do what they say that you know grounds have to do is just plain of north calls of integration into the bunker and it's as a country it should protect its heritage by not allowing foreigners to settle but i'll tell taurus francs that should be no borders a tour now it takes just hours to fly anywhere in the world why should it take days or weeks to get permission to travel and flying a pundit says thousands have lost their jobs and homes during the recession so what should not be given to those who don't pay taxes to add your voice visit the former page at terminal. it's exactly ninety years since the bolsheviks executed the last russians on nicholas the second and his family and later in the program we talked to a historian helen rappaport who's written a book about their last days after extensive new research. some people think they were just lined up in a row bang bang bang you're dead it was not like that it was a drug fall ill conceived ill execu
