in pittsburgh now becomes the first city to ever be home to both the defending super bowl and stanley cup champions at the same time. this past friday the pittsburgh penguins won their third stanley cup and they did it the hard way, by coming from behind on the road in game seven of the finals against last years '-- year's champion, detroit red wings. regular season scoring champion won m.v.p. honors by leading all playoff scores and the goalie once again proves he belongs among the game's elite with his dominating performance in that. head coach dan took over in midseason when the team was out of playoff contention and led them not only to the playoffs, but to a championship. and in winning the title, sydney crosby became the youngest captain to hoist the stanley cup in the 115-year history of the trophy. and as in all successful organizations, the leadership of the penguins starts at the top. the incomparable mario will now have his name engraved on the stanley cup for the third time, this time as team owner. just as he did when he came into the league as a player, mario took contro

scadari is one of tose guys who doesn't get a lot of attention in pittsburgh.e is a guy who is there really just to make a safe play on his end and defense against other teams top players. an interesting story. he came out of long island. we don't have a lot of hockey players in long island, new york. he played college hockey at boston college. i saw him play at boston college. i wasn't sure he would ever play in the national hockey league. but he's been in the league for a couple of years now. he will be called up again. him and hal gill to show down the red wings top guys. a lot of what happens on friday night will be determined by some of the guys we don't talk about all the time. >> that's always the way it ends up being with a game 7. there is extra time between game 6 and 7. what are foth both teams saying about the momentum? >> well, mike bob babcock has gone out of his way that momentum, he doesn't buy into it in the series. things happen in hockey games that change momentum on each night and several times throughout the game. i buy into that. i don't t

the fact that at least in our case in pittsburgh and i would expect my colleagues across the country, we have multiple projects on the shelf on a regular basis going into the stimulus package we had $200 million worth of projects to talk about and we're very pleased with the two projects we got were actually our number one and number two projects. but the shortage of the funded levels of in pittsburgh has caused us to do for 20 projects over the next couple of years we have an abundance of projects ready to go and go expect my colleagues across the country are in the same position as the root welcome future opportunities. >> just as we close out with questions for you mr. penrod. you pointed out the airport program currently operating under a short-term extension through september 30, 2009. i would appreciate it if you would comment on a lack of the long term authorization for this program affects you're and other airport ability to plan for development projects our imagine it is critical. >> it is. a runaway could have a three or five-year construction timeline so certainly a funding

if we built that, there's no doubt in my mind that others would be 200 miles per hour and from pittsburgh to detroit to chicago, the texas t-bone may be your best shot. if they can build it and prove it work, how tough is it to take it -- i don't know if el paso is on the t-bone -- >> el paso isn't, but el paso is one of the strongest supporters of high speed rail, not that they expect to see the line to houston, but the line from el paso to albuquerque to denver, and they see the proof in the system on t-bone, this would be the next step to provide the capacity to build the el paso route to albuquerque and on to other points in the west. >> the -- one of the things that's been fascinating in new mexico, governor richardson stepped up and did commuter rail and there were a lot of doubts, an earlier governor talked about doing it, was ridiculed by the press but he stepped up and did it, on time, on schedule, ended up, it's been going about nine months now, it's past the 2 millionth passenger and in a very short period of time. one of you, i think it was mr. skancke mentioned reliable -- yo

and so the fact that in these in our case in pittsburgh and now expect my colleagues across the country, we have multiple projects on the shelf on a regular basis going into discussions of a stimulus package and we have 200 million worth to talk about and we are pleased because those were actually number one and two projects, but the shortage of the boc funded levels in pittsburgh has caused us to defer over 20 projects over the next couple years. us and we have an abundance on the shelf ready to go and out of spec my colleagues in the same position and so we welcome to future opportunities. >> just as we close out with a question for you mr. penrod any point out the airport improvement program is operating under short-term extension 2,009 and i would appreciate if you would comment on how the lack of a long-term authorization for this program affects you're and other airports ability to plan for airport development projects -- i imagine this is pretty critical. >> is critical, iran made to have a three to five-year construction time line so certainly a funding stream that expires at th

we're in the top 10, we'll be affected by this dramatically but so will everybody from, say, pittsburgh to wyoming. this is going to impact utility bills unfairly. it will impact job opportunity unfairly. frankly, the jobs we lose in our part of the country and the country generally are not likely to relocate somewhere else in america. they're more likely, these manufacturing jobs, use lots of energy to locate in a country that has less environmental standards than we do. the ultimate lose-lose. we lose the jobs you put more of these things in the air than you would otherwise and americans suffer because of that. in our state, the estimate is that utility bills would go up 40% in the first five years, 80% in the first 10 years and even more after the various allowances are gone. this is unfair to american families and frankly, the less you can afford to put in new windows, new insulation, new everything else, the harder a burden this is going to be. i urge my colleagues to vote this bill down and work together to have a better bill for america and i yield back my time. the chair: the ge

built that, there's no doubt in my mind that the seller would then be 200 miles an hour, and in pittsburgh into detroit and chicago it would come. so the texas t-bone may be your best shot. if they can build a texas t-bone and prove that it works, then how tough is it to take it, i don't know if el paso is on. >> el paso is not. el paso is one of our strongest supporters of the high-speed rail, not that they expect to see the 900 miles from houston to el paso built as a high-speed rail. it's the line from el paso to albuquerque to denver that you talk about, and they see that as a real possibility and they see the proof in the system on the t-bone that the houston to dallas would be the next debt to provide the capacity to move forward and build the el paso route to albuquerque and onto other points in the west. >> one of the things that's been fascinating in new mexico, governor richardson stepped up and did commuter rail, and there were a lot of doubts. an earlier governor had talked about doing it and was ridiculed by the press, but he stepped up and did it. and on time, on schedule. an

doyle from pittsburgh be out stumping for this bill now if he thought it was going to kill jobs in fuel country? >> you have to ask him. >> well, do you think he's under some sort of undue pressure of another kind? he was against it when it came out and he made pains to explain all the concessions he got yesterday that this would not hurt jobs in his steel industry. >> listen. import protections. think about this. we've provided tens of billions of dollars to bail out the auto companies. we're telling the auto companies the kind of cars they're going to produce. frankly, i think the car that most americans don't want to buy. and for them to succeed, they're going to have to find every way they can to whit el their costs. one of the big costs in producing automobiles is steel. and so if they're looking for the best price on a pound of steel, what are they going to do? they're going to look at the united states and go, "well, i'd love to buy that american made steel, but you know, it's 30 or 40% higher than the steel we could get from china, korea, india. and what's going to happen ." >>

john is next from pittsburgh. good morning. caller: i have been playing with the numbers a little bit. maybe you can confirm this or maybe another caller. if we have 9.5% unemployment, i am estimating that is around 8 million people unemployed. if you take that percentage, is it true that there are only about 85 million workers in this country? that is my question. i would also like to echo what someone else to said. we have to get rid of lobbyists. they are controlled by major corporations. they are destroying this country. we do not control this country when a good politician gets into office. host: next call is from rosenberg, texas. caller: if obama wanted more jobs, they could open up offshore drilling off the texas coast line. that would create thousands of jobs. the problem is that saudi arabia controlled the bush administration and the obama administration. our energy policy is good for them. it is bad for america. host: we want to share the numbers about how many people are out of work. 9.4% is the current unemployment

as we prepare for the g-8 summit in italy and the 2k3w-20 summit in pittsburgh, we agreed on protectionism and actions that have sustainable growth. i reiterated america's commitment to stand with germany and lead in confronting the climate and energy crisis. i have been very impreffed by germany's foresight in its commitment on clean energy. i hope the united states will match that commitment today when the house votes on a new energy bill in our country. the chancellor and i discussed the tragic situation in iran. today we speak with one voice. the rights of the iranian people to assemble, to speak freely, to have their voices heard, those are universal aspirations. their prafery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice. the violence perpetrated against them is outrageous. despite the government's efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence, we see it and condemn it. the iranian people will be the ultimate judge of their government's actions, but if the government desires the respect of the international community, then it must resp

they have a make-up game against pittsburgh. most of those teams are very, very solid.ey're chasing the phillies, so they have to play well there, but they'll be undermanned. the pitching has to come through. that's been banged up. you have a newcomer on the mound that has done very, very well, but they need a surprise at times in the good side of the category. >> well, good side is red hot fernando nieve who you had eluded. to why has he been so good lately? >> well, back in '06, he had 11 starts. he was the 3-3 with a 4.20 e.r.a. he was like 24 years old. in '07 he hurts his arm. he has to have tommy john surgery. comes back maybe a little too quick. now he's got a different mindset. he's aged and matured. he's not thinking about what people think about. he's thinking about what he needs to do and to do his job. that execution-type thinking instead of result thinking or situational thinking has really done him well. his secondary stuff has come along. he's giving the league hard time now. >> he's been a bright spot for the mets, nieve has. prince fielder has been a br

about climate change and in the autumn of this year we shall have, for example a.g. 20 meeting in pittsburgh. i believe that 2009 is a crucial year. a year that is crucial for how the world will coexist and turn out to be in the future. there are many challenges ahead for all of us in the senator hagel was right in saying, there is no country in the world that will be able to go alone. that will be able to solve the great challenges alone. this is what it's so important that we look after our relationships, that we nurture them and also from time to time take time out to wonder what is so special about the transatlantic partnership. what is special in these to me is we each share the same values, the same basic values. we don't need to talk a great length about what we understand with respect to human rights and human dignity. that is our common foundation if you like. and the fact that we stand firmly on this common ground, on this common foundation that has always been incidentally common ground among chancellors of germany and presidents of the united states and incidentally also of congr

morning from "the new york times," and in just about every newspaper in the country joins us from pittsburgh. are you satisfied with your current health-care program? caller: yes, steve, i am very satisfied. i retired and every year i get at least four or five insurance companies sending me literature to change my medicare plan. i decided to go with security blue, and it has been perfect. i have to say one other thing. there is a very simple solution to ensure the 40 million people, and it is using the v.a. health system. if somebody gets unemployed and lose their insurance, when they go sign up, they get a special v.a. card that makes them eligible to go to any v.a. facility that we have. host: who pays for it? caller: well, the government. he is going to spend over $one trillion already -- $1 trillion already. it would be much simpler, and everybody would be covered. host: go to twitteredr.com/cwj. mike is joining us from lagrange, texas, good morning. independent line. caller: good morning, steve. i would like to say something about this myth about socialized medicine being so bad. i woul

one lady from pittsburgh, kansas said that she was concerned about any plan that allowed so- called leaders who have no medical background deciding who will get what treatment when. she went on to say that treatment will be delayed or not given. my constituents have it figured out. house republicans will continue to ask to be part of this debate. this will no doubt be one of the most important pieces of legislation we will consider this year and four years to come -- for years to come. mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters -- rather than letting a distant bureaucrats call the shots for the ones you love, we want to put the medical professionals in charge and we want you to have a say in every decision regarding your family's health. thank you. >> lynn was on the health-care task force that the leader put together. the ranking members from all the committees involved, the work force committee, the energy and commerce committee, they have been actively working. they have been involved in the discussions we have been having. what has been happening in the last few weeks, we have
