my prime minister, stephen harper, said canada paid no ransom and released no prisoners.nd if they hadn't, i would be dead. >> these stories can end so horribly. you mentioned one of the people you interacted with with the al qaeda linked groups there was a man named omar and obviously we recently just got back from the mali border. we were in a mali refugee camp in barkani. we called omar there one day. i wanted to play for you what he said and get your reaction to that. erin, cnn, omar? >> translator: yes, this is omar, hello. no, no, listen. i do not speak to a woman. if you would like to speak to me, give me a man. it is necessary to respect our religion. we do not speak to women, do you hear me? [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: no, we do not speak with women. >> so when you hear that conversation, you know that man, you were intimately connected with that man. do you know that voice? who is he? >> well, i do indeed. it was the voice that gave it away. this guy who you tried to interview is the guy who grabbed us. he was the, quote, mission commander. grab

[ scattered applause ] here's one. this is the "mario kart was awesome, because it was racing, but instead of cars, it was go-karts. and instead of people, it was nintendo characters. you got your mario. you got your luigi. you got your koopa troopa. but i always picked yoshi. heh heh, yoshi rules." [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] just from his face. [ cheers and applause ] yeah, you can tell by his -- >> yeah. >> jimmy: this next one is called "see, the reason yoshi was good is because he was fast at accelerating, but when he got hit by a red turtle shell, which is turtle shell you throw that automatically hits the guy ahead of you, kind of like a heat-seeking missile. speaking of missiles, we should give our military red t

[speaking french] >> translator: madam chancellor, allow me to begin by welcoming you very warmly on behalf of all canadian. you welcomed me to germany on a number of occasions, and we are very happy to be able to welcome you here in our turn. >> canada in 2010. you read, of course, the g8 in huntsville and the g20 in toronto, but we are particularly pleased to welcome you here in the nation's capital on your first bilateral visit to canada, the first such visit to ottawa by a german chancellor in a decade. germany is, of course, a close ally, partner and friend of canada. and to the ties of national interest may be added those of family. over three million canadians trace their roots to germany. [speaking french] >> translator: i have to say, madam chancellor, that over the years i have frequentl

because she was denouncing the conservative government of stephen harper, and she said, well, it paidshirt -- >> no, i went in to do journalism, like, what does the left say? >> a good place to go. canada is estimating, though, this could be $45 billion a year to the united states and a half a million jobs over the next couple of decades. so this is big money for the u.s. as well. >> you know, the left says it's 10,000 jobs or 20,000 jobs, which is really a misnomer. it's a lot of money, a lot of oil, a lot of pumping stations, a lot of truckers. it's going to be direct jobs, 10,000 or 20,000 over the next couple of years. but when you get natural resources out, money follows and flows. there's no denying that. and the political problems of wrestling with it seem overwhelming. >> reverend, you know back in 2000 -- you ran in '04. >> right. >> in '05, i think it was, especially, al gore came out with "inconvenient truth." it seemed like everybody really was focusing '05, '06 on global warming. and if you asked any questions about it, you were a heretic and almost burned at the stake. b

harper out there for defense. he makes the tough catch. bottom of the 2nd, two on for stephen strasburg, opposite field single to right. jayson werth scores followed by danny espinosa. the nats lead 2-0. four batters later bases loaded two out for adam laroche who also delivers in the clutch with a base hit to center. that brings home strasburg and steve lombardozzi. laroche has 71 r.b.i.s. 4-0. strasburg allowed six earned runs in his last outing. today the strasburg and we know and love, six innings, three hits, six strikeouts. nats win 4-1 and afterwards the skipper on strasburg, the pitcher and .343 hitter. >> with any pitcher, especially a young pitcher, it's the early innings and he got through the first two or three innings and then he was comfortable with what he was going to do. i don't know if it was drilling to some extent. when we shut him down, can we keep his bat, use him as a pinch hitter? highly unlikely. >> moor good news for the nats. last year's closer drew storen activated july 19th after undergoing elbow surgery entered today in the 9th. storen earns his f

stephen strasburg. he gave up a season high six runs. two innings later it got worse. jimmy rollins, bryce harper can't get to it as it bounces off the wall. rollins with an inside the park homerun. despite trade rumors the phillies did keep cliff lee. the phillies shutout the nats 6-0. >>> as for your redskins training camp update for the first time this year, mother nature interrupted redskins camp yesterday. before the thunder rolled in though, quarterback rg iii was able to get in plenty of work with his receivers. he showed off his strength and speed but continued to struggle when rolling out to the left and failing to get the ball out quick enough. afterwards mike shanahan addressed the issue. >> there are growing pains that are natural with the position. but he is doing a heck of a job. he has come in and like i said we have got the off season, a lot of time to meet. he has picked things up quickly and i'm sure he is looking forward to playing games. >> we will be live once again from redskins park today and the nats go for round two against the phillies. have a great day. >>> thank you so
