among the populace, it is different feeling. among the populace, they see is real cause nuclear capability -- israel's nuclear capability as the real threat. the president alluded to a nuclear-free world. when he talked specifically about the danger that iran poses in this area, without mentioning israel by name, i think he rubbed some people in the muslim world the wrong way. host: good morning. caller: good morning. just commenting on the previous discussion about the iran issue and nuclear arms, i think in a lot of ways, the iranian issue -- while it is a real issue, it is a diversion, the same way that the iraq war was a diversion away from dealing with terrorism. posted -- focusing so much on iran acquiring nuclear weapons has ignored the russian stockpiles, which are far more of a threat of terrorist getting their hands on a multitude of weapons from the former soviet union. what i call to mention, as a strong obama supporter, my real fear, given his muslim background was that it would create a political environment for an

it is the media here who feeds on ignorance of the populace to lead them into situations. i think they should do what they're doing and iron it out, but not get us directly involved. thank you. guest: you know, i do think anyway real change comes to any country from within that country. i do understand the new i myself and and it iranian- american. anything that goes on in this country deeply affects me. i am as concerned as any other american. i am speaking to not just s and irani. this is the only country in the world where people carry their past with them. -- i'm not just and running. that is why this country become so expensive and in need. -- so and expansive

i have been accused of being a populace by providing support. i've been accused of being a communist and ruining the country. there is much injustice in honduras. injustice arises from inequality from the laws that create inequality between human beings. we are an evil as individuals. we are an equal -- we are inequal as nations. some have everything. some have nothing. understand that systems of countries of nations seek to reduce these inequalities to perpetuate them. by law, we are all to be respected. we sought to repeal laws that were aimed at creating a system of poverty of any quality. there is a law that has been held for eight months. that is what we had difficulties, because it was a law on domestic workers. 1.5 million people who work in domestic specters. their sponsors were obliged to register with social security to ensure they had health- insurance. it took congress eight months to work on this bill. it took eight months to make sure they receive social security. for all these reasons, that is why we are in this situation today. i

i don't knoll how -- i don't know how they have sort of permeated the populace. >> i'm doing a comedy routine for c-span. you should be warned about that. >> as soon as is here. >> look over there. >> she is going to spend the summer in georgetown and work for center -- senator specter for her internship. her first brush with washington. >> is she prepared? >> you know, you would have to ask her. she is in the next roosevelt as long as she votes i don't care what she is. but i think she is probably excited about this semester. >> she was going to work there any? >> oh, yeah. it's been arranged for a long time. i just adds to the excitement level. >> you know him, right? >> very well, yeah, very well. in fact i -- it's funny because i wrote about him extensively in the book, never an tess paying he would -- -- never anticipating he would switch parties. but at home i'm being accused of plea send tating his -- precipitating his switch to hype my book sales. but i have known him a long time, three decades as a matter of fact. it's going to be a great year to in the pennsylvania next year

why health care for a populace should be considered a matter for private industry, and why we should not look at it more of a socialist or a public interest standpoint. why should these things be profited upon instead of considered a matter of public interest? guest: well, that is a meet taty question. i think it is a mistake to make this division between profit and the public interest. when of the reasons for markets worked is that the profit motive often serves the public interest. when it has not worked, that is often the result of misguided government policies structuring that market in foolish ways. i think that president obama and a lot of leading democrats made an accurate political judgment that the single payer is too far left for the american public. host: you have criticized deficit spending what do you think the economy doing right now? do you see it improving? d c signs that it might be getting better? guest: well, people who are paid to the economic forecasters do not all agree on this. there are some green shoots here. i think that in the second half of 2008, the fall

into iran from the clinton administration to allegedly drive a wedge between the government and the populace on one hand and the los angeles based broadcast as well? could this in any way be a game breaker, game changer if the iranians said we want both of those stopped as well because we don't do that to you and we are trying to to discuss and of diplomatic debates on equal footing. >> you know i am not acquainted dodged the question by pleading ignorance, but i have to plead and gardens. i really don't know the outfits do. i don't know what our official broadcasts say whether they are news or politically oriented analyses or recommendations and i have no idea what the people in l.a. are doing. there is one simple point however, we cannot do anything that restricts our freedom of expression. and i am not quite sure whether that freedom of expression can be limited when american citizens decide to address the issues in the country of origin or country of special-interest. i think there would be a serious problem. so i don't think our freedom of speech can be subject of negotiation with a for

document you will find it really is not statistically significant and they admit that but the delaware populace they have tried to get tom carper to vote for it even in the of publication it was not significant. these are the kind of extremes that we do with. climate of death and the death of our climate is chapter number six. pat talked about this so i will skip that. chapter seven, up versace -- pervasive bias and here is restored to give in to the politics the peer review of the but organizations and did geophysical union have weighed in and remember when the university of oklahoma in 1989 bob carell gave a talk and he said this is a red letter day for the climate scientists everywhere. we will get lots of money, let's not kill the goose laying the golden egg and a particular i am scared that is what we have led toward. keep funding as we will tell you what you want to hear. this is the famous hockey stick braff i will not make too much of it except something you probably have not noticed it is the pre-publication version the value is that 2000 was o.three degrees celsius but if you extend t

hhs can't find a way to meet senior health care cost, how will they be able to pay for the entire populace under government run health care? the only way this would be feasible is rationed health care system similar to what we find in other countries like canada, united kingdom, norway, any other place on the face of the earth with a similar program and this is unacceptable. more importantly i concerned it will be the downfall of the health care quality and indeed the world as i look forward to working with you to insure every american can pursue his or her dream including access to wellness programs in the world. thank you mr. chairman. >> mr. lewis? >> mr. treen, thank you. i have no formal statement. i will wait for the secretary's statement and hope to have the chance to ask some questions. >> [inaudible] >> thank you, mr. chairman. it is good to be with the committee today and i appreciate the greetings from my fellow kansan and ranking member of the subcommittee representative tiahrt and it's good to have mr. lewis today. i appreciate the opportunity to come and discuss the president

in massachusetts our most populace area is the boston region and it's where the heaviest electrical loaded and in 10 years we have sited and had constructed a number of transmission enhancements to support the flow of power in boston between two major kv lines to eliminate constraints between the boston load pocket and the remainder of load pockets. >> with the anticipated increase in demand of electricity needs over the next 15 or 20 years, do you think the existing system is adequate in your state? >> with regards to the increase in demand, we continually update our system so we're going to continue to do updates. we've been doing updates all along. so i don't think that process ever stops. >> okay. >> in vermont we've actually been able to mitigate the -- any increase in our load over the last five years with energy efficiency. so i would say offhand with the completion of what is called the southern loop, in a couple of years that i think our transmission grid will be adequate for the next 10 to 15 years. >> and i would give a similar answer. the answer to your question is yes. when we

so in the late '20s and early '30's, in fact, some of them descendants of the populace in the same region were not only fighting large corporations, they were fighting specifically the large corporation model that would become wal-mart that has chain stores chain distributions. so at the time there was a great deal of animosity for these outside actors coming in with this form capital have a driving small businesses out and so forth and yet these are exactly the places where wal-mart is taken to be a standard bearer now of awhirl america and what to see at the time is oddly this sort of a liberal establishment of the late '20s and early 30's arguing on behalf of the large corporations and saying chain organization is in the most efficient and therefore the most modern and, yes, there are some labor problems that we're very confident that chains are just made for unions. and unions will be welcomed into chain stores because that is modern and efficient and all these problems with low wages and long hours will be worked out and, of course, it is exactly the opposite. and what really seemed

leadership and what you see as his future and will be able to gain the credibility among the palestinian populace in the near future? >> fayad is an interesting case. he ran in the 06 election but didn't get a lot of support and i think a couple feet under a party known as the third way. his legitimacy really stems from the international recognition that he has in the former world bank and imf official. he is a quintessential moderate. he does not want to be seen as a fatah or hamas member and takes pride in the fact that both factions don't entirely trust them and that this makes them an excellent go-between for the two factions. my problem with him is that even though he has a legitimacy and into national kennedy and could probably attract donor funds and help rebuild the palestinian territories, he does not control any malicious, any weapons and that actually in my mind is a good thing but in the ride of the palestinians to respect power on the streets this is a very big weakness for him and that makes me wonder how much power he will be able to accumulate in the press to gather this caretaker
