dewayne reed. , that is where reed really improved his game the most. always been a good defender and has the ability to get to the basket but this year shooting it more like a pro from behind the arc. when takes big shots he is definitely from behind the three-point line. >> matt: jones another three-pointer for jeff jones. 14 points for him and virginia back in the lead. gabriel. and the putin! >> daymeon: you know, ross actually started. averaged about 8 points and four and a half rebounds before waller came back. we'll see how virginia responds. >> matt: we are tied at 51 now. under ten minutes to play. baker no place to go with it. nearly threw it away. ten on the shot clock coming up now. jontel evans. ever penetration. wow! tony bennett says he is their energy guy. now, look at gabriel. he's got some hop! baker. ball on the deck covered by sullivan. possession arrow pointing in auburn's direction. >> daymeon: well, they always talk about boxing out on the defensive end. see reed going to the basket, no boxout and gabriel is saying get some of tha

guest: he asked one question we learned about warrior care since walter reed. i think we learned there is that, first of all, the army -- if you remember "forrest gump" when he was playing ping-pong, he was playing a patient in an army relocation center, -- army rehabilitation center. in the 1970's, we had one of

with the problems at walter reed.role-playing a patient in the army rehabilitation center. the 1970's, we had one of those at valley forge, pennsylvania, were general frank reelected after being wounded in vietnam and decided to have this leg amputated and have another year of recovery there, where he ultimately, based on how inspired he was by the other soldiers he was with, decided to return to active duty. by the 1970's, the disability was really gone from the army. we have a program called medical pulled and pulled over, that work adequately for a peacetime army -- medical hold and holdover, that work to adequately for a peacetime army. but the different things that we had done became in addition to take care of the number of soldiers, both casualty -- became not sufficient to take care of the number of soldiers, but casualties and those in medical care. we created these warrior transition units and we are in our third year of being operational. what we've done is put dedicated and trained leadership, traditional

. >> center jack reed, thanks very much for joining us. we continue the conversation. what happens if the strategy does not work? >> ssa to read was talking about, there will be some clear signs early on -- as senator reed was talking about, there'll be some clear signs early on. whether the american public is going to tolerate it will be a sign of whether or not the strategy will be sustainable. >> politically, he has a couple of months where if things start to go poorly, the president is going to see members of his own party coming out hard against him. a number of house members basically do not like this idea and do not want to spend more money and more american lives. >> he also said that we need to pay with this, but -- that we need to pay for this, but no specifics. >> right now is $60 million for the 60,000 that are there now. you are talking about maybe $100 billion a year. how long is that sustainable? >> president obama is leaning very hard on his left wing right now on the health care debate and is probably going to ask them to eat a lot of crow, whether or

harry reed had to say about his >> the question we are asked is, what is your disappointment? my disappointment is we have not had a single public statement from the republicans that they will do anything to help us with the bill. quite to the contrary. that is too bad for the american people. the american people last year called for change and change is taking place. the president did spend some time going to the things we have accomplished this year. even before he became president, in december 670,000 jobs were lost. february was more than 700,000 jobs. we have made great progress. we're going to continue to do so. host: what did you hear from the majority leader lech yesterday? -- majority leader yesterday? guest: they are working hard on some of the center republicans, a live yes no -- olympia snowe. she supported the senate finance version of the health-care overhaul. the plan that they're debating has deviated from that and she is holding out on her vote. she went to the white house to talk to president obama as well. they are locking in on her. the majority leader cert

richard reed, the so-called shoe bomber planned an attack very close to christmas.tional airport in the middle of christmas. luckily he was arrested at the canadian border with a trunk full of explosives in his car in december of 1999. but attacking the during the holiday season is designs to terrorize. maybe on a holiday there's less attention paid to people. not the "a" team on the security shift. i thought it was interesting representative king said this guy may have came from nigeria. the fact his flight came from nigeria is very interesting. they have poor airport security. they've put out notices in the past -- >> i've seen them at the airport. they say this is -- you know, a list of airports that do not keep security procedures that are up to international standards. often nigeria has had an airport on that list. >> indeed. >> other points about this that are interesting. h guy claims the device originated in yemen. it's become arguably the second most important location for al qaeda. the major hasan case, the ft. hood shooting. a cleric in yemen appears to h

host: senator jack reed also talking about the cost of the war. first gloria from riverside, california. guest: good morning. my queery is, why are we spending millions on defense an to keep building bases all over the world? it seems like the other countries are going to be leary of us doing all this stuff. i don't understand why we're doing it. don't we want peace, not war? guest: i'm not going to argue the whole defense budget, but the costs this coming year -- this current year, are expected to be about $680 to $700 billion according to the congressional budget office. those are large costs, but they also finance important business tupts, and it is the -- business opportunities, and it is the congress and the president that will have to sort out what that means. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. don't you think it is irresponsible for the obama administration for their war, this is now obama's war in afghanistan, to be declaring a timeline for withdrawal? that this tells the terrorists exactly when we would be withdrawing. t

wounded warriors in walter reed and bethesda are fighting to recover. and i have been profoundly affected by patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. after years of local tours of duty, as we carry on our mission in iraq and afghanistan, your readiness to make that same sacrifice is an inspiration to us and every single american. >> as first lady, one of my privileges is keeping the house altogether, juggling play dates and soccer games, doing everything they can even at the try to hide their own fears and worries. i have met kids, a grandparent and residents and relative stepping in to care for wounded warriors, trying to carry on after losing the person they love most in the world. and through it all, these people still find the time and energy to serve their communities, as well. running the pta, raising money to help those less fortunate than they are, and more. even these families can use a hand during the holidays. if you live near a military base, you can reach out to your workplaces, schools, and churches. there are so many

to paraphrase one historian, quote, i'm afraid that professor gordon reed, despite her admiral under an admirable qualities, is the worst thing to happen to thomas jefferson since james callender. this latest have taken diversity and created a hostile environment in the academic world in which scholars feel pressured to accept the hemmings myth as historical truth. ladies and gentlemen of this jury, justice is supposed to be colorblind, and neither race nor gender nor bias have any place in a court of law. nor in the court of public opinion. the only question before this jury is what is the most credible and reasonable and believable evidence, not jefferson's view on race or slavery, but whether it is proved beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt, as to whether he had a sexual relationship with a 14 year old girl. 13, when it came to women, jefferson's true nature was sheepish, some would say awkward and geekish, but certainly not lustful. his marriage proposal to his first love, rebecca burwell, was in 1763, and that illustrates the point. jefferson was so nervous tha

harry reed had to say about his disappointment in republicans. this was yesterday. >> if the question were asked. what is your disappointment? it is that we've not had a single public statement from the republicans that they'll do anything to help us with the bill. quite to the contrary, that's bad for the american people. the american people last year called for change and change is taking place. president did spend time going through the things we've accomplished this year and they have been significant based on where he was when he took office. even before he became president, december, 670 thousand job where is lost. november more than 700 thousand. february. more than 700 thousand. so we have made great progress and will continue to do so. host: adriel bettelheim of cq. what did you here in the majority leader yesterday? guest: would like republicans to join in and they're working hard on at least two moderate republicans from maine. they're generally viewed as the most moderate members. olympia snow supported the senate finance version of t

senator reed? >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. and thank you for your witnesses, for your wonderful testimony. let me ask mr. carey, you have initiated these steps with respect to your policies as a result of any type of regulatory suggestion or is this just something that you think is good business? >> this is something -- this has been our practice really since we invented the atm. and that we've never done anything -- >> be careful because somebody invented the internet and got in a lot of trouble. >> i don't think there's much dispute around this one as i think about the other one. it's basically -- essentially been our practice that the funds aren't there and the transaction doesn't go forward. >> well, the majority of banks both large and medium and all sizes charge these fees. and i guess my point is that do regulators ever look at you and say, that's great or do they in any way sort of try to suggest what a good fee structure would be with respect to consumers or they just remain aloof. >> i think your first point i have y

the help committee and we did have the c-span cameras in the finance committee that i think senator reed posen explanation to the american people who walk this to proceedings unfolded. the reasons why the changes have been made in those bills, there are earmarks in this bill that is on the floor now. vie were those commitments made in the american people are owed an explanation of why those were made in that kind of transparency certainly is not there. >> anybody else. kenny that-- thank you guys very much.

host: as part of this process, it is war council as you wrote about levin of michigan, reed of rhodeachusetts and kerry phroeting the idea of visiting -- float being ting the idea vi tehran and saying this is the type of think that he should undertake. guest: john kerry has become, along with levin and reed, at least within the senate one of the obama administration's sort of top wise men if you will. that isn't to say that he doesn't have others in other branches of the government. but on the hill these three are considered at least by obama to be people that he should listen to. if you will remember, when he was a candidate he/@@Á@ @ @ @ @r terry has done other work for the administration before and is very much in tune with obama's policy. he does not carry some of the heavy baggage not hillary carries with her statements that she has made about iran in the past. particularly statements about obliterating i ran, if it were to get to frisky with their nuclear weapons. so, someone like john kerry serves as a a very, very useful cut out for the administration. guest: procedurally, it

let me pick up on the point senator reed was making and it may be duplicative. for many years the federal reserve because it is the federal reserve who has the primary responsibility or has said the primary responsibility of consumer protection and they have been aware of the abuse of overdraft fees for a long time. in fact an interagency guidance of 2005 called overdraft coverage programs "abusive and misleading the." that was their words to describe going back in 2005 and over the past several years the federal reserve has issued modest rule after a modest role in them please to say they have done that. i don't want anybody here to leave the room thinking i'm not grateful but i would love to be convinced it would have happened in the absence of introducing legislation in this regard and absence of the consideration of the financial regulatory reform proposals and as i say i have a lot of respect for ben bernanke and i don't say that likely. i think he has done a very good job and day to welcome these changes here it seems to me. but, are these sufficient rule

senator reed of rhode island has joined us as well. let me begin with a opening statement after which i'll ask my colleagues if they had agreed opening comment and did we will turn to our witnesses and hear from them. and then have a series of questions for you this afternoon regarding this bill and related matters. so i began by again thanking each and every person for being here this afternoon. our job on the banking committee is to make sure that regular folks get a fair deal from their lending institutions and other financial institutions. the whole notion that depositors in the bank, people who buy insurance policies, people who buy shares in our public companies, people who have mortgages, all those financial activities, we've got to keep in mind as we talk about the stability of our finances, safety and sounds of financial institutions. is critically important to talk about the safety and security of consumers. who depend upon these institutions serving their interests well. and this brings us to the subject matter of this after

he said l ou reed. it does his music who is so important for us. you could name many other american artists who have traveled. we are going to try to increase the number of exchanges we do so that we can get people into settings where they will be able to directly communicate. there is something about the american government sending somebody to make that case, which i think is very important to our commitment. artists can bring to life in major medical way some of the challenges we face. we mentioned women in the condo. i remember years ago seeing a play about women in bosnia. it was so gripping. i still see the faces of those women who were pulled from their homes and separated from their husbands, often reached -- raped and left for garbage. i think artists can illustrate better than any speech then i can give that to the spirit of that lives within each of us is not confined. no matter how hard they trial, there is no way that you can deprive people from the feelings inside their souls. artists can give voice to that. it is so important in place

tyrel reed, a big-time scorer in high school, but misses. rebounding.r job on the glass. here is xavier henry. a charging foul. let's go to michael eaves. >> mike: he said he thought the team was a little too impatient offensively in the first half. maybe they took it the wrong way because in that last time-out he was saying, guys, we got to get movement. let's move around. let's move some bodies and move the ball. even though xavier henry got a foul on that ball there was a lot more movement in that half-court possession by kansas. >> steve: doing a great job. henry scored all of his points, seven the first ten minutes, has been shut out since. anderson down low. nelson. no. rebounding lee. and malcolm throws it off and out of bounds, bruin basketball. >> marques: it wasn't particularly pleasing to look at but got the job done getting the ball inside to reeves nelson. great position on the inside. >> steve: morris at first. >> marques: they've got to stay aggressive and especially, not so much a height but strength advantage on the inside. morris in pa

. >> first of all, again, let me thank our leader senator reed. every team has a quarterback.he's been our quarterback. he's called the plays. we are going to go over that goal shortly there's a book called the good fight. i've said this before. he's going to have to have the revised edition and add another chapter on to that good fight. this is a good fight. harry reid has lead that fight and we've won it. fight." to max baucus who bent over backwards and not only went the extra mile but the extra hundred miles to involve the minority. to my great friend, chris dodd, who did a masterful job of leading our committee and getting the bill through and doing a masterful job. kriz and max and i are all classmates together. we were all sworn and the same day. -- as one in on the same day. -- sworn in on the same day. this is a starter home. it has a great foundation. we are expanding health-care coverage to 31 million americans. it has a protective rules -- were roof. this is not the end of health care reform, this is the beginning of health care reform. i am just proud to join my f

major nidal hasan where he did not serve in iraq or afghanistan has spent a lot of time in walter reed hospital counseling giving psychiatric counseling to soldiers coming back from both occupations. so there have actually been a lot of people in the military already calling for pst treatment for for soldiers themselves. then we need pstd treatment for the counselors. when you hear one traumatic story after another, day after day after day you are going to need to talk to somebody about that. so major hasan, of course, his family in the aftermath of fort hood talked about this. this guy had a very heavy work load that was consistently being increased. he was hearing this horrible, horrible stories. that coupled with him being opposed with those occupations and his religion coupled with the ongoing harassment, all of this over time, clearly the guy snapped. there were people in the military at fort hood, even veterans there had been warning against this problem, this type of a serious situation happening along time in advance. in fact a mother is a guy called lled chuck luther at fort h

. >> senator reid -- reed. >> thank you. to follow that point, if we subsidize these transit systems at the rate we subsidize the road infrastructure, these problems may be self correcting. i think every system wants to do this. this is not something that they did not want to have happen. let me ask a specific question. within the legislation, there is a proposal to expand coverage to bus systems. there are possible -- two and always to do that. one is the bus systems that are linked to the transit rail systems you are proposing to regulate. the other would be bus systems or not which would be the case in ryeland where we have a state-wide system that has a decent record but we could do better. would you exercise this authority? is this something good to have on the books or is this part of the specific plan with the timetable? >> it is a part of trying to look at this at a rigid in a comprehensive way. as peter indicated, our number one priority is safety in all modes. we know that people ride the trains and buses. there ne

restoration of those cuts to benefit medicare, versus using it as a fund to pay for the underlying reed bill? >> well, the senator has made the excellent point. the bennett amendment has no teeth. it has knossos stantive effect. it's just a statement of purpose. it's a statement of purpose is as just resited by the senator from georgia, then you need to vote for this bill if you voted for the bennett, my amendment that has the teeth that backs it up. >> if i understand what you are saying in your bill, you are requiring the office of management and benefit else cms to certificate to congress that the savings are in fact being used to fund medicare benefits, versus being used to fund other benefits outside of medicare until such time as medicare is fully funded? >> that's essentially what it says. omb just certificate that no funds are being used to fund the additional activity that does not relate to medicare with medicare funds. it does not say that medicare savings. it agrees to the medicare savings. those medicare savings would basically be used for the purposes of reducing the outye

so far does seem to highlight the fact that people at walter reed knew about some of the problems? >> we did not get into that today. today was about basic procedures. the general in charge of walter reed basically told us she operates under the rules of the army generally operates under, which went into great length about. live without getting into the case, let me say we did explore the issue of what kinds of information and what are known as training files, the educational files, versus the official personnel file, and is evident -- i am not commenting on this case specifically, but it is evident there can be derogatory information or concerns expressed in its day in the educational or training files and does not make its way to the personnel files, and the reason that is important is that it is the personnel files used to decide whether to event someone, -- whether to advance someone, whether to promote, and it would be going to the agencies on initial review. >> do you have copies of the personnel file? >> we have requested those caribbean we have not received those or any oth

we brought him back to walter reed and completed his care there. this young man has reenlisted, is an intelligence specialist, will stay in the army. i returned to minneapolis to thank the va care providers there for all they have done for him. i'm glad they're taking good care of you. they are a great partner of ours in this. we are very grateful for the service they provide, for veterans and active duty soldiers as well. host: gov. -- no, general cheek, thank you for being on the program. guest: thank you, and i'm grateful for all the care for the wounded soldiers. the love and care from the nation makes quite a difference. host: another programming notes -- notable books from 2009 -- "washington journal," during the last hour on friday, will be hooking up with otbook tv to highlight notable books of 2009. thank you very much for watching this edition of "washington journal." we will see you again tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2009] . >> nex

similarly with richard reed, if he managed to detonate that thing, the american airlines flight betweenmi and paris may well have gone down. i think we got incredibly lucky. this would have been a transformational event almost as big as 9/11. in the post-9/11 world if you can bring down a commercial jet, that changes international tourism on an already damaged global economy. >> fran the person who has your job now that you had before, what is she doing now? >> it is he. it is john brennan. >> larry: i got you confused with napolitano. >> john has two things he is focused on predictably right now. one is working with law enforcement intelligence to understand in detail what happened in the different places around the world, yemen, the uk, where he traveled, who he communicate eicated with. he is working with janet napolitano at the department of homeland security and making sure that whatever they learn on the intelligence and law enforcement side they are figuring that into the way they screen people not only as u.s. airports but sharing that to the extent they can, the hints, the piec

last time the secretary was here with us was in 2004, when then senator clinton joined senator jack reed and other distinguished guests for a conference on national security in the military reserve. hillary rodham clinton now serves as 67 united states secretary of state. predecessors include thomas jefferson, james madison, james monroe, daniel webster, george marshall, and of course, madeleine albright. when she was secretary of state, madeleine worked together with secretary clinton to launch the federal government's model voices democracy initiative, and today vital voices is a nonprofit organization that works to train and organize women leaders from around the world. before being appointed to work current position by president obama, secretary clinton served as a united states senator from new york, where she was a strong advocate for the expansion of economic opportunity and access to health care. prior to that, she was first lady for eight years and worked -- on many issues relating to children and families, especially health care, leading a successful bipartisan effort to provid

reed is a constant. greed is a human sin or element, state of being. the important thing it seems to me, is to not let greed be in the driver's seat. somehow find a way to attack the animal spirit that we need in order to innovate and grow without becoming animals as it were. and in that role i think government regulation and oversight is extremely important. i turned a lot of what we saw that created the speculative bubble of the early part of the 20th century has to do with a failure of oversight, failure of regulation. yes. a collective greed on main street. we don't have to be victims of our greed collectively choose not to be. that is my personal opinion. >> yes. [inaudible conversations] >> as i recall i thought job recovery was an advance of the market recovery. >> i'm not sure of the timing on that. it is a great question. generally speaking the employment or unemployment is what economists call lagging indicators. it tends to -- the economy will go into a technical decline before you see the math of unemployment. certainly the economy will go

. >> what role does senator reed play in this debate? >> he's central, his place is the initial fight for the house and senate. and he's known as a moderate and tempered voice, and people trust his knowledge given his experience in military. >> john stratton who can be seen in roll call and tom, thank you for being with us on this sunday's "newsmakers." thank you. >> coming up on c-span a-look at testimony on capitol hill, from hillary clinton and robert gates and joint chief of staff chair, mike mullen. >> senators are continuing their debate of the health care bill through the weekend. our regular book tv schedule will be preempted during these rare senate sessions, with book tv resuming after the debate. watch this live gavel to gavel on c-span 2, the only network on the full debate. go online for video on demand, at c-span/healthcarehub. >> four of malcolm gladwell's books currently sit on the "new york times" best-seller list, including his latest. >> now the first of several hearings this past week on president obama's new afghan s

william gray who's considered by many the world's foremost authority on the prediction of hurricanes and reed bryson who has been called the father of scientific climatology and who was the world's most cited climatologist. at some point possibly quite soon if climate science doesn't demonstrate a breakthrough capable of impressing scientists, this whole big lie may come crashing down. so thank you. [applause] >> thank you, lawrence. we're going to have questions. i hope this has whetted your appetite to read this book. it's very readable. it's got a lot of stuff in it. i mean, i know most of the people here you have seen them as cooler heads lecturers including one who's here today, fred singer. but i learned quite a lot that i didn't know as well so i'd encourage you to read the book. a couple of housekeeping details. i forgot to thank my colleague julie walsh for arranging this briefing today and if you have to leave early, sure to pick up a book on your way out. if you can stay until after we're finished, then larry solomon has agreed to stick around and sign your book if you'd like him t

>> obama: because when you go to walter reed and you travel to dover and you visit arlington and yous that young men and women and their families are making-- there is nothing more profound. and it is a solemn obligation on the part of me as commander in chief to get those decisions right. i do not make this decision lightly... >> kroft: in your west point speech, you seemed very analytical, detached, not emotional. the tone seemed to be, "i've studied this situation very hard. it's a real mess. the options aren't very good, but we need to go ahead and do this." there were no exhortations or promises of victory. why? why... why that tone? >> obama: you know, that was actually probably the most emotional speech that i've made, in terms of how i felt about it. because i was looking out over a group of cadets, some of whom were going to be deployed in afghanistan. and potentially, some might not come back. there is not a speech that i've made that hit me in the gut as much as that speech. and one of the mistakes that was made over the last eight years is for us to have a triumphant sens

i was at walter reed medical center five days ago. i met a man -- an american soldier shot five times by afghan soldier and our afghan army, our friends, the afghan army. this guy was trained for five years by the americans. then he came in while these americans were having dinner and shot five of them. so if that's our situation, it's a very bleak situation. on the other hand, what do we do? do we turn back to the taliban and have it become a haven for terrorists and for al qaeda? i don't know what to do at this point. but an exit date scares me. the taliban will laugh at the exit date. they'll just wait patiently for the exit date and then take over. >> larry: airy anna. >> we're inserting ourselves in the middle of a civil war. the president called this a war of necessity. but it's not. it's a war of choice. it's not clear what america's national security interests are. and as a result, the public is losing trust in this war. and there's inevitably going to be some kind of exit strategy which, again, as ben said, makes people in af

i visited our courageous or wounded warriors at walter reed. i have travelled to dover, to meet the flag-draped caskets of those returning home to their final resting place. i see firsthand the terrible wages of war. if i did not think that the security of the united states and the safety of the american people were at stake in afghanistan, i would gladly order every single one of our troops home tomorrow. so, no, i don't make this decision lightly. i make this decision because i am convinced that our security is at stake in afghanistan and pakistan. this is the epicenter of violent extremism practice by al qaeda. it is from your that we were attacked on 9/11 and it is from here that new attacks are being plotted as i speak. this is no idle danger. this is no hypothetical threat. in the last few months alone, we have apprehended extra is within our borders who were sent here from the border region of afghanistan and pakistan to commit new acts of terror of her. . this will grow if the region slides backward and al qaeda can operate with impunit

this was the woman, betty reed, who was in charge of enforcing ideological conformity amongst the khalif in his you can see from the set of heard josh use not somebody that you would like to have fallen into. i am going to talk about him. he is one of the most interesting effectives in the beginning of the 1970's. and the kgb was so short of ideas that they had actually worked out a plan to land special forces on the coast of your sure. whether the good people of yorkshire would have noticed i don't no, but there we are. now this is actually turning point. sometimes the simplest ideas of the best. one of the great acronyms id british history is kids, keep it simple stupak. the way to deal with resch and espionage was to expel huge numbers of soviet intelligence officers but the great country which i have the country of representing was the only one who actually did it so there were 105 people sentences to one of the worst experiences in history and that is flying on what used to be call them britain earl flopped. any way they all made it back. oh yes, this is i would say the standards of
