mike schwartz, what is cable net? >> guest: hi. cable net is a technology showcase that basically serves as a way for the cable industry to show exciting application services and technologies to people in the cable industry who may not otherwise see them. >> host: isn't it obvious that people in the industry might know what's going on the technology side? >> guest: some may not, so what we try to do is through a variety of companies, and we have about three dozen here, they bring in all their new and interesting innovative technologies, we provide this showcase of an exhibit and then enable the rest of the industry to walk through in their leisure and see what's cool and what's neat. >> host: you have a lot of television screens and exhibits, what goes into the process of deciding who gets showcased? >> guest: we have a request for a proposal system that we use enabling all companies if they so choose to be participants here, and then we determine based upon the technologies applicable to cable which would bees would be in which se

before the senate armed services committee on april 21st of this year, general schwartz said that hed the risk of a fleet of 187, f-22's as "moderate to high." 187, f-22's puts america in a "moderate to high risk" category according to the chief of staff of the united states air force. now, there have been other generals who have come out and made statements with respect to the f-22 and i want to commend these gentleman because they are putting their military future at risk and i know they probably received some harsh phone calls from the leadership but they have also received a lot of calls from majors and captains and lieutenants and air force academy students today as well as army foot soldiers, just like i have. i know they have gotten those phone calls because i've gotten those phone calls thanking me for being willing to stand up and say, mr. secretary, you're rocwrong about this, and we need more f-22's holding a need for 321, f-22's to provide air superiority to protect against potential adversaries. subsequengeneral corley stated f 187, f-22's puts execution of our national

i mean, you heard allison schwartz say, oh, we're going to reduce the growth in medicare.of cutting medicare whenever we said that. i mean, that's what it comes down to. are you going to limit the amount of resource has are going into the program, or aren't you? and whenever that happens, something is going to screen scream. it's seniors themselves. it's going to be a tough sell. >> there are a lot of lobbying groups out there, aarp, as you mentioned, one doesn't such port one single side of this. is there an a way to make this a better place? we had somebody the other day who came in and said that scooter payments, you rent these scooters, medicare pays to rent these scooters. you end up pay for five times, eight times, ten times over the lifetime of the rental, you could have bought the thing eight times over. >> i don't think there's any way to do it unless you can get the 50 million seniors actually helping. for that matter, the rest of us as consumers, actually having more choice, more management of the plan, because letting the bureaucrat manage the cost, i mean, the

what miss schward -- schwartz wanted to us do was to state in advance what our strategy was for savingirms. we had no idea which firm was going to fail. and we didn't have a system. we didn't have a structure. and what i'm saying is going forward, we need to have what we now have for banks but don't have for other kinds of financial firms, we need to have a law, a set of laws that allows the government to come in and systemically and in a transparent way wind down a failing financial behemoth to use the word used before, so it doesn't create damage throughout the system. so her -- her premise is that we made a conscious decision to let lehman fail. we did not. we made -- we spent the entire weekend with basically 24 hours a day trying to do everything we could to save that company. not again because we thought it was deserving. but because we knew what the implications were going to be. we didn't have the tools to do it. the other companies that were thinking about buying it decided not to buy it. and so we had no choice. >> ifill: jim's conversation with chairman bernanke then turned

schwartz: thank you very much. i rise today in support of enhancing small business research and innovation act. ingenuity and innovation are key to the u.s. economy. in pennsylvania the bioscience industry employs more than 77,000 people in good paying jobs. the industry develops life saving pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and devices that are important here at home and around the world. in order to develop these important technologies, these companies need access to early capital. to move their products from the research phase into commercial development. small business programs, particularly sbir and sttr programs, are important tools for our country's entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to market. however, underrules established by the previous administration, companies with large investments from venture capital, were ineligible to participate in the sbir program. this ruling created an unfortunate situation where companies had to choose between utilizing these federal business ipping baiter resourcer or raid

general schwartz stated -- quote -- "243 raptors is the military requirement." opponents of the raptor will most likely dispute this, pointing to comments made by general cartwright during his july 9 testimony before the senate armed services committee. during his testimony, the general stated the decision to terminate production of the f-22 is supported by a -- quote -- "study in the joint staff that we just completed and partnered with the air force." however, my staff has inquired by this study and was informed a recently completed comprehensive analytic study does not exist. no doubt the joint staff has prepared some justification for f-22 termination, yet i believe it is only natural to question the objectivity of any assessment which justified -- justifies previously reached decisions. unfortunately, yesterday, mr. president, my suspicions about this so-called analysis were proven correct when geoffrey morrell, the pentagon's spokesperson, stated that the general was referring to -- quote -- "not so much a study but as a work product." therefore, i believe

to quote general -- secretary donnelly and general schwartz, because they said the time thing. they said -- the f-22 is unquestionably the most capable fighter in our military inventory. and not just air to air, as some of this floor insinuated, but a precision attack air to ground and intelligence collection. in contrast almost every other piece of military equipment in our inventory, air, land, and sea, our cold war equipment needs to be replaced. i think about the bradley vehicle. it has been around since the 1960's. i think about the abrams tank, been around since the 1920's we've had five major upgrades on the pallet. and that is world war ii technology, where you had to get out of the thing after -- people never heard of that. we're going through an improvement on that. the point that i'm trying to make is that most of the stuff that we have is cold-war stuff. and implying the f-22 isn't needed because it wasn't flown in iraq and afghanistan, i think it is pretty narrow minded. we have a lot of equipment that we have to have to protect america against contingencies and we

look at "the new york times" sunday, you had a debate between anna schwartz on one side and rabiny on the other over whether you should reappoint him. it's a hot topic. the point is this, the fed chairman gets out the public season. they start to learn about monetary policy. he talks about the independence of the central bank. he relates to the history in his own studies. in this case, like peter, bernanke is a professor. he's been in front of classrooms. can he handle questions. he's comfortable with it. i think he should do more of it. >> peter? >> when you talk about campaigning, one of the things bernanke is doing is he's campaigning for the independence of the fed. ron paul, i believe, has been observe ska observe skating and demagoguing the issue. they have been audited. its regulatory activities are audited in the same way the fdic's activities are audited. what is not audit sd monetary policy. bernanke is getting out with the facts that, that should be left alone of the just like we don't have the congress inspecting what goes on inside the supreme court, they shouldn't be ins

former prosecutor joanna greenwald and defense attorney david schwartz joining me now, good to see both thank you. >> david, you first, i was very surprised initially. i hadn't thought about it that the cruise industry is not regulated. how many accidents do you think did unreported and do you think it's time that we clamp down? >> of course, it's time that we clamp down. i think we've had hundreds of unreported incidents. it's so great that the industry is backing this bill. how dare they? they have unreported crimes going back years, this is, they should have been charged with crimes, tampering with evidence, obstruction of justice, accessory after the fact. this is ridiculous. they have an agenda. they spends millions of dollars in lobbying a year and the catch is that they can't be sued for punitive damages, even their conduct is so outrageous and that's the piece of the bill we're not talking about. >> jamie: let's tell our audience about the mcgill case, really, this was pushed by a dad from phoenix. >> right. >> jamie: whose daughter vanished in 2004 and his name is kendell carve

schwartz: to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. schwartz: almost 50 million americans are without health coverage. many millions more worry about the stability of their coverage, that they'll lose coverage, or at a time of accident or illness their insurance will not cover critical needs. in my home state of pennsylvania families have seen a 100% increase in their health premiums since 2000. nearly one in five pennsylvania families pay more than 10% of their income on health care. and american businesses are struggling with increasing premiums and forcing them to pass on more of the cost to employees or drop coverage altogether. the federal government is the largest payer of american health care costs and currently paying nearly half of the $2.5 trillion health bill. while costs keep rising at the rate fasterer than inflation, health outcomes for americans are not improving the status quo is unacceptable. we must move forward in offering a uniquely american r

air force secretary doneley and general schwartz has repeatedly stated the f-22 is unquestionably the most capable fighter in our military inventory. the f-22 was designed with twice the fighting speed and altitude of the f-35 to preserve u.s. advantages in the air, even if adversaries can test our electronic countermeasures or reach parity with us. she also united states senate that letter, "if electronic jamming fails, the speed, altitude and maneuverability advantages of the f-22 remain. the f-35 was designed to operate after f-22's secured the airspace and does not have the inherent altitude and speed advantages to survive every time against peers with counterelectronic measures. only five f-35's are flying today. only five. the f-35s has completed less than half its testing. developmental tests will not be complete until 2013. it is impossible to assess the full capabilities of the f-35 until operational tests are complete. the secretary of defense and others in the administration are putting all of their tactical air eggs in one basket. mr. president, that's a very dangerous roa

schwartz: finding uniquely american solution to our nation's health care challenges means expanding accesshealth coverage, containing health costs, improving the quality of care and achieving better health outcomes. to achieve these goals we must think in new ways about how to bridge the current system's fragmentation, encourage coordination, and promote collaboration by health care providers. meaningful health care reform requires that we expand delivery of care models that encourage teamwork among providers, improve efficiencies and ensure that americans get better value for their health dollars spent. this includes patient centered medical homes and greater access to primary care. we should also expand opportunities for doctors and hospitals, including those based in community and academic medical centers to design, implement and evaluate such models of care delivery. i've introduced the health care zone act to create and expand these innovative models of care. when we provide incentives to payers and providers to work together to improve care to communities and patients, we will undoub
