also joe madison, who is a radio talk show hosting with sirius xm. >> good morning. >> why wha do youcement? >> well, this has become one of those push button issues, veronica, like abortion oosh like gun control. people are very passionate, as you know, on both sides of the aisle. some are going to say it's the white house capitulating to illegal immigration. i'm hopeful that it's a practical response because the raemt is we're never going to deport 10 million to 15 million people who are here illegally. we ought to fix on getting rid of those that comprise a criminal element and control the borders at the same time, and i'm hopeful that that is the step in which the white house is moving. >> all right, joe. let's turn it over to you. there are about 300 thoughs deportation cases pending in the u.s. on one side the people say that, yes, it makes sense to prioritize these. other people are saying overlooking some cases would amount to amnesty. what are your thoughts? >> well, they're calling it back door amnesty. i agree with michael. the reality is it's also a safe immreltation of la

sirius xm talk show host and. they got a deal done.or the vote, but who will pay the real price politically? democrats or republicans? maria? >> definitely the republicans, especially the tea party caucus because americans believe they have been the ones who have been crybabies on the playground willing to basically take their ball home if they don't get everything. the my way or the highway attitude and president obama and the democrats have been willing to put sacred programs on the table for the sake of the economy. >> i find that hysterical because democrats didn't produce a budget and the plan. that's the facts and the unfortunate matter of it. republicans were the ones who put forth proposal after proposal. both parties will take a hit. majority of the americans wanted limiting spending. if the super committees decide to do what i think they will do, both will take a massive hit. >> ladies. i think the problem here is that people are concerned about who wins and loses politically. we can make arguments and speculate. who really l

maria cardone a sirius xm political talk show host, and dana loesch, all right, guys.st question. howard dean comes forward and says tea partiers have not just been drinking their tea, but smoking it. they came out and said that the president is destroying the foundations of the u.s. economy. what do you guys think? blame the debt downgrade on the tea party tactics or the president, maria? >> there's no question, kyra, that this is the tea party downgrade. i call it tea party hangover. you can absolutely lay the downgrade in the lap of the tea party. s&p actually mentioned that this was one of the reasons in their analysis that they downgraded because political leaders were willing to gamble the debt and the nation's -- the nation's political future, frankly, financial future on the negotiations. they were willing to do that. they took us to this point and now all americans can be thankful for them for that. >> we'll get you some hot tea, poor thing. you've got a lot to say, i know. dana? >> what maria said is just an absolute, blatant, outright lie. let's look at the

and principal of the capital preparatory school, from new york, pete dominick, host of stand up on siriusen, cnn legal contributor and criminal defense attorney. as a principal, steve, let me start with you, what do you think about this law? >> i think it is a law that just takes up a lot of time but doesn't necessarily do anything to positively impact wait education occurs. technology is a significant reason why education will improve and we need to embrace it and find the ways to do so. >> pete, what do you think? >> well, first of all this law comes from the same state senator who a few weeks back wanted to roll back child labor flaws their state but it's good see the state senators there are really focus old jobs. listen, this is definitely a first amendment issue and what it doesn't outlaw is talking to students privately, writing them note, calling them on the phone, text messaging, i think steve perry can tell you this is the way that kids often.times communicate these days and teachers should be able to communicate with them this way touch is not the medium it is the person, randy

on sirius radio. >> roger. >> we've got to get moving right now.> and arsenal, london had dark weekends, the bubonic plague, we'll live among them. they played manchester united. but right now, it's like watching nascar just for the crashes, they were obliterated. making it 2-0. wayne rooney. your favorite had a hair transplant. >> really? >> it's exploded and may look a little different next time you see me. he scored a hat trick. 8-2, man. he said futbol will only take off when a goal is scored. >> no doubt about it. and obviously the big story is arsenal. one of the great powers in english football, they are collapsed. >> they have not led a goal since 1896. >> exactly. >> one of the great minds in futbol, but they have more red cards than points. >> i think it would be a huge mistake. let's move on to man city. >> the other manchester team. this is meant to be a stern test also. it's starting to pay off. they have a 62-man squad, that's enormous, like a nuclear family in utah. they've played like a group of individuals. they're now playing like

coming up later on our show, between 9:00 and noon on xm sirius 126, we'll have a lot of exciting guests a woman that's coming up on our show in a matter of moments. mary beth hicks who wrote the book just out now called "don't let the kids drink the kool-aid." >> not a very big fan of that picture. >> i don't like it either. plus i have different head sets now. >> good news, the obama administration has announced it will save businesses at least $10 billion over five years by overhauling crushing federal regulations. that's good news, right? bad news is they added $9 1/2 billion in new regulations last month. is it just a net-net deal? >> stuart varney, what's going on with this? >> $10 billion worth of red tape cuts over five years. >> that's good? >> yeah, wonderful, isn't it? i don't believe it. the $10 billion will come from things like railroad cars won't have to have the same high technology that they were supposed to have. hospitals will get rid of some paperwork. there could be some electronic form filing. this, we are told, will save $10 billion in red tape cuts over a five yea

sirius inflection points. that means life on this planet is quite different, and we are trying to figure out what that means for ourselves, but we are here today trying to understand what it means for our schools. we are now 15 years into this information abundance, and i do not think we have made much progress answering your question of how to sort and synthesize. sometimes, it almost feels like our kids are better at it than we are. i need -- in the precise area you are describing is where we will see the most important breakthroughs of the next decade. very specifically, we will see breakthroughs in search technologies. we will see breakthroughs in monitoring and data mining. watching a set of behavior patterns, learning about motivational profiles, and using the data to drive a smart recommendation engine. as kids make the shift to digital learning, one of the profound thing is not often discussed is that almost all of those learning experiences are going to be rich with the assessment data and a lot of be
