peter let me ask you finally one. as a long-time expert of the car industry, people who own toy as the, okay, people who own them today, what advice do you give them? i mean mr. lahood says get out of the car and run for your life. what advice do you give them? how serious is this safety problem with the excacceleratord the brake? >> well, it's fairly rare, but when it happens it's horrifying. if you heard on the radio the phone call from the state trooper who was going 120 miles an hour and couldn't stop it. and ended up very dead. it's truly terrifying. what toyota is saying, you can drive the car if you feel any sluggishness at all on your pedal, stop, or at minimum take it to the dealer right now and they actually are, as we speak, repairing cars. they've got the little shim this the med the pedal that's a fix. >> they have to be very, very careful. peter brown, thank you. dan icannson, good to see you again. coming up in "the kudler report." scott brown, remember him? smaller government, across the board tax cuts

eleanor odom, peter odom, meg strickler. meg strickler, it doesn't sound like her lawyer communicated that to her because she's still talking about leonard padilla bonding her out. call him, call him, call him. the lawyer's giving this press statement saying, don't call my client. >> doesn't sound like everybody's connected with each other here at all. sounds like confusion central. plus if padilla goes into the jail and speaks to her, we're going to be seeing it on your show just like this. the lawyer would have to be there also. >> peter odom, isn't that a huge breach of duty to be -- have your client thinking that padilla could bond her out and the lawyer's writing him and giving public statements saying don't call my client? >> it would be, nancy. remember, we're getting this second and thirdhand from unreliable sources. >> if you're referring to padilla i would not consider him to be unreliable since what he's saying is being corroborated by croslin behind bars. to bill, former nypd, now with ma jessky associates joinin

(announcer) when diet and exercise are not enough, adding lipitor has been shown to lower bad cholesterol 39 to 60%. lipitor is backed by over 17 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. i thought i was doing enough to lower my cholesterol. but i ne

sue moss, ray guidice, peter 0 dom. i hear this. drug dealer stole the baby to get back at the father. that hardly ever happens. i don't know that's ever happened. >> it really only happens in the big narco industry in mexico and -- >> you mean in the movies? >> no. it happens in some place, nancy. arizona's the kidnapping capital of the united states because of the drug trade. so it does happen. does it happen when people are dealing in small amounts of oxycodone in trailer parks? most likely not. i agree with you. >> what about it, peter 0 dom? >> i agree with ray. these aren't high end drug dealers by any means. i think it's far more likely that misty just wasn't there the night that this child was abducted. >> put them back up. put both of the lawyers, defense attorneys lack up. sue moss, while they're hah hah hah laughing it off as penny ante drug dealing, might have been 2,000 here, 800 there but somebody is supplying them. somebody with a lot of drugs. there's distributor in the mix somewhere. there's a manufacturer in the mi

>> peter, do you want to handle that question? >> let me begin by just making clear that i'm not in favor of withdrawal from afghanistan. i have reservations about additional troops, because i don't think they can accomplish their counterinsurgency mission. because there is no credible partner. but i think the consequences of withdrawal at this point in time would be disastrous for many people in afghanistan. and that we have accomplished a lot and we are not viewed as an alien body in the way that we are in arab iraq. [inaudible] >> i am just making clear. in some ways i think there were three bad choices. more troops, but i think that was ineffective. because there's no credible local partner withdrawal which would lead to rapid deterioration and the current situation, which is gradual deterioration. and the real world, they are not happy solutions. the second point i would me, it doesn't follow that if we would withdraw the taliban would come in and be the government. remember, 55 percent of the country are tajik. these are gro

i agree with you. >> what about it peter? >> i think it's more than likely that she was not there. >> sue moss, while the two defense attorneys are laughing it off as drug dealing, you know, it might have been 2000 here, 800 there, but somebody is supplying them. somebody with a lot of drugs. there's a distributor in the mix somewhere. there's a manufacturerer in the mix somewhere. somewhere there's a doctor or a dentist writing scripts out of the ying-yang. someone is looking at a lot of jail time. the likelihood to come down to satsuma, florida and steal the little girl out of the home, unlikely. >> that's true. but mark my words. drugs has something to do with this crime. unfortunately it's going to take a lot more prison jerky to get her talking prison talk key. >> little general, let's talk about the dream because that has intrigued me from the moment i heard it. she is saying -- misty croslin is saying that i don't know anything and i pray to god she mentions this in the videotapes. i had this dream where four guys were

i agree with you. >> what about it, peter? >> i agree with ray. i mean, these aren't high-end drug dealers by any means. i think it's far more likely that misty just wasn't there the night that this child was abducted. >> put both of these defense attorneys back up. sue moss, while the two defense lawyers are laughing it off as penny drug dealing, it might have been 2,000 here, 800 there, but somebody is supplying them. somebody with a lot of drugs. there's a distributor in the mix somewhere. there's a manufacturer in the mix somewhere. somewhere there's a doctor or dentist writing scripts out the ying yang. somebody's looking at a lot of hard jail time. but the likelihood, sue moss, that they would come down to satsuma, florida, and steal the little girl out of the home, unlikely. >> that's true. but mark my words, drugs has something to do with this crime. unfortunately, it's going to take a lot more prison jerky to get her to start talking turkey. >> to dr. lillian glass, psychiatrist, body language expert, author of "toxic people," welcome. le

and peter was. and just to say this about peter goldsmith as you will have seen from his evidence.peter is absolutely a lawyer's lawyer. he's someone of someone of extraordinary integrity. he's somebody who's actually a lawyer. is in the very top rank of the legal profession. and peter made it quite clear from a very early stage of this. if he felt the advice he would give it and he would give it whether people wanted it or they didn't want it. and they gave it. >> and, of course, he told us he volunteered it after your meeting on the 23rd of july when you were about to go off to see president bush. and he volunteered written advice to you in a minute of the 30th of july. the text of which is not in the public domain. but he commented to us that this advice he felt had not been particularly welcomed. we wondered why it wasn't particularly welcomed to get advice? >> it -- it's not that it wasn't particularly welcomed. but i was dealing with what was already a difficult situation. and now i became aware we had to take a whole new dimension. and we had at an earlier stage of this. but

now i think it's perfectly good for peter.e a difference. which he did to say i don't agree. >> he was constantly having to ask and write his opinion to and provide his continue and he said he wasn't always welcome. >> he said that about the particular opinion and not that it wasn't welcome, i was dealing with a difficult situation and i had another issue to take account of. he was completely right to do it because it made a difference the way we approach 1441. i'm very happy to talk about how, for example, you might do some of these things differently now. i don't think having peter at the cabinet meeting would have made a difference. having the confidence to be able to say as he should as an independent attorney as it were for the government to pick up the phone and even to the prime minister which he did say this is what you can and this is what you can't say. >> that doesn't allow for a collective decision making for a proper consideration and so on. >> with respect to the legal opinion, i think the key thing really was th

peter odom, defense attorney. eleanor. to you, renee rockwell, not a good look for your murder defendant client as she's searching for her daughter, she's in target stocking up on beer and pushup bras. thoughts? >> nancy, thank god beer and pushup bras are not illegal. anything that's going to make her look bad, of course, the prosecution is going to put her on blast. i don't think that's any good, relevant evidence. what she's buying. the fact she's using somebody else's card is, in fact, not good. >> you know what? in my mind, that's the least of her worries about this video, peter odom. >> if the prosecution needs to base its case on her buying cases of beer and showing pictures of her partying seminude they must have bigger problems even than we know about. >> really? what about it, bethany marshall? because when she says she's out desperately searching for her daughter, she's too upset to tell her own mom the granddaughter's gone, she's partying on top of the tables at bars and stealing checks to buy beer and lingerie

thank you. >> peter. >> well, it is a good point. i wish i was more confident that it would succeed. it is very important to succeed. it is very important we continue to progress, but i am not expecting is to suddenly become easy. even the process of trying to make it happen is difficult because you tend to get small victories on the way, and you also stop sliding backwards. i think the realities of the positions of the different government, the political pressures they are under, we are not going to it see any early and quick resolutions. just building on the earlier question of the role of currency, i do think there is something between the trade protectionism issue in the currency issue. ultimately over time we have to, what we have seen is a shift in economic power and wealth from the west broadly speaking to the east, asia, middle east, and so on comparably speaking. and that is a good thing. it is a good thing because it is a reflection of the fact that asia has cut and wealthier. i think that will ultimately translate to a cur

do we know, peter? >> we know that he's talking more about the details of al qaeda in yemen, the people who helped him with the attack and the organization of al qaeda there. chris, this is a big development. because, as you know, the initial stage of questioning with him on christmas day was that the fbi questioned him for 50 minutes after he was arrested but before he went into surgery for burns on his legs. after that surgery, later on christmas, the fbi tried to go back and resume the conversation, and he wanted none of it. he would say nothing more. so the fbi ultimately read him his miranda warning informing him of the right to remain silent. and our understanding was that he had, in fact, been silent. that he hadn't given the fbi any new information since then. well, now we know that is not the case. that, in fact, for several days he's been talking to the fbi, we're told by several officials in the government, giving what they consider to be very valuable and still current information about the

we begin this evening with peter orszag, he is director of the office of management and budget, and we talk about the budget, about the deficit, and we look ahead to the summit in which president obama will talk about a health care in a live televised encounter. >> as you go out over the long term, there is nothing else we can do. i don't care what revenue proposals you have, what social security proposals you have, what proposals you have to reduce discretionary spending. none of that will matter over the next five or six decades unless we succeed in reducing the rate at which health care costs grow. that is the single most important thing we can do for our long term fiscal future, not only thing, but the single most important thing. >> rose: and we continue with author and journalist richard reeves. his new book is called "daring young men," it is about the berlin airlift. you'll learn a lot about your country and about the people who came forward at a historic moment. >> my students had never heard of this great american adventure. i mean, it brought out as lincoln said, the better

peter, let me start with you.t is never has dennis mentioned, a good idea to pick a fight with your lender. >> look, tyler, i wrote the coming china wars three years ago and everything i wrote in the book is coming true. go down the list. they use weapons like currency manipulation in massive export subsidies to attack our economy and steal our jobs. they hack the pentagon. they steal our technology and military secrets so they can build weapons against us. now, they've opened a new front where they're hacking american enterprise to steal our technology and trade secrets and threaten the financial nuclear option, which is dumping our bonds, basically threaten us this not do anything on trade reform on tibet and taiwan. we've had two presidents in the white house now that have totally ignored this problem. bush's problem he was nero playing the fiddle while the manufacturing burned. between arlen specter and barack obama, which was just priceless, we've got neville chamberlain in the white house, who is cueless, th

so, peter, i'll kick it off with you. what's your take and who will actually come out of this ahead? >> the renewable energy sector and possibly even nuclear. every speech that obama gives, trying to cheers up and weaning us from foreign oil and going through environmental type strategy. that will be in every budget that he'll be presiding over. >> dan, i know you agree with that. you said nuclear would actually benefit from this. let's talk about something that struck me as interesting. you said one of the clear losers will be retail. this is ahead of tomorrow's retail numbers and retail is in jeopardy going forward because of higher taxes. >> right. >> it's more of a theme, frankly because when you think about it, this is still a budget proposal so the impact from that will be far down the road, but yeah, with taxes going up, ultimately the middle class, even though they say there is not a tax on a middle class, everybody knows that ultimately middle class is going to pay for this, so i think middle, retail -- >> i know

>> i would agree with that, as peter said. one of the successes in this this very difficult recession is that although there has been protectionist rhetoric and there have been some protectionist moves, there has not been a wholesale -- i agree with you. you have to keep moving forward. it is one of the biggest opportunities in a world where we need to rebalance, where the countries in the west, we need to trade more and export more. we need this growth model which needs to be a model were based on saving and investment and export rather than housing and finance and government. i want to echo something jean- claude said. it is wrong to say that there is a choice for countries between an early deficit reduction and job creation. for some countries there is not a choice. if we do not get on and make early steps toward deficit reduction, we have seen in greece where this can lead and the pain it can cause. there is a great danger particularly as the crisis phase of the difficulty passes, that whereas political leaders were saying

peter barnes have the fox business network covering this from d.c.eter, this report says the outstanding balances of bank loans fell in 2009, faster than any year since 1942. does that mean it's hard for folks like you and me to get a loan. >> that's part of it u shep. especially since banks have tightened lending standards a lot in the wake of the financial crisis, during the financial bubble, banks were basically standing on street corners handing out cash to anybody with a pulse. their lending standards were very loose. but other reasons for the drop in loans outstanding could be a lot of consumers and businesses are repaying their debts or that banks are writing off more uncollectible debts. also regulators have been pressuring banks to preserve and build capital. that hurts lending. and it appears that some people and businesses just don't want to take on any more debt in this economy so there is less loan demands. shep? >> shepard: this report mentions other big problems that the banks are facing. >> there was bad news and good news in this fdi

this guy's name is peter, peter hothey was then and is now a dear friend of mine. peter is from minnesota. pete and i met the first year in college. pete never met anybody from baltimore and i never met anybody from minnesota. he said to me, you're a freshman in college, but you talk like you're in grade school, you say dumb things, you use the wrong words, what's that about. well, i was embarrassed for a minute and then the east baltimore in me flared up a little bit and i said who you talking to man. he said i'm talking to you, i said why are you talking down to me, he said i'm not talking down to you, you're sitting down, i'm standing up. i'm just curious, why you talk this way when you're in college, so once we got past my embarrassment, i explained to pete my situation. didn't learn to read until i was 12, still struggling with the stotser, uncomfortable with language, i try not to speak unless i have to, i avoid certain words because they're too difficult for me. he said ok. so pete says here's what we're going to do. i was 17 years old, pete was 18. he was a

there the president was in new hampshire and here he was in washington, and he was going to grill peter orszag about it because he was mad. >> but it's not just republicans, either. democrats, like kent conrad who for a long time has been very aggressive about deficit reduction, also questioning the idea. there has to be more going on here. did the president jump the gun a little bit? >> you know, you'll be shocked to learn that the white house is trying to have it both ways, right? it's very politically popular right now to take from wall street, people are angry about the wall street bonuses, and so the president is saying we're going to take this money from wall street, which is repaid back to the american taxpayer, and we are going to use it to give to small businesses which have been hurting. so it's very popular unless you happen to be a deficit hawk like senator conrad who is and who is a democrat, and senator judd gregg, and they're saying, wait a minute, we want this money to go back into the federal till. we've got a 1 poir$1.3 trillion deficit to deal with. but the white hous

guest: good morning, peter. . largest employers in america, fortune 50 company, caterpillar tractor co.. headquartered here in peoria and employs a large number of my constituents. i have a 20-county district. i parts of decatur, eleanor, of course home to archer-daniels midland, one of the largest food processors -- decatur, illinois. but the largest employer, despite all of that, is actually agriculture. so, both agriculture and large manufacturers like caterpillar, john deere just outside my district, rely on a growing economy, not over here in our country but around the world. i was specifically interested in the president's mention of free trade agreement in his state of the union if you weeks ago. he said but for us moving in that direction, we are going to lose out with expanded opportunities for companies and industries in our own country to grow. i know that to be true in my district. but caterpillar, who sells 70% of the tractors the build and our country to other people in other countries, and the large

yes, sir. >> peter orszag and dr.of what private economists predict, and yet you're basing about $10 billion a year of your projected savings on passage of a health reform bill that is at least in question right now. on what do you base your optimism? >> we're one vote away from getting health care reform. we think it's good policy. and, wendell, we -- i hazard to guess what your question would be if we didn't take into account any of that in what our budget was. the president has said we should be realistic about what our assumptions are, but also assume -- if we're going to propose something, i don't think it makes much sense to not assume that it should be in the budget. again, some of that got us into this mess, right? we had troops in iraq. we had troops in afghanistan. but we weren't paying for that on budget. i mean, that's certainly one way to look at how you do a budget -- is to have our brave men and women fighting half a world away, but pretend that we're not paying for it by not putting it in the budget. t

if we want to take one other issue that were where peter brooke the government versus corporations, oneof my big has been the cafe standards. we do them corporate automobile efficiency standards. we do it to save gasoline. there are questions about that but the big question from my perspective is here government came along and made some decisions to enact the mileage standards and various people that have studied this say that three to 4,000 more americans are dying every year because of the cafe standards. we downsized and plasticized the cars so these are all things we should be thinking about in the context of our human environment and the broad natural environment and i hope we will continue studying them for a long time to come and making some wise policy decisions right from the get go. >> host: lancaster p.a.. you are on the air. >> caller: we need more informative programs like this. anybody know anything that the cycle of plays -- of police in? is that still applicable? you can't find in the winter and the north grapes or berries or fruits from other than chile or mexico. >> ho
