subject apart is the part i have warned a lot. -- the subject is the -- subjective part. i do not mind it when it is labeled that way. what i do mind is that there are any number of people out there presenting themselves as journalists, presenting themselves as someone who can provide the context and fairness or at least try to, but they do not. all they do is they spew out there particular point of view, and they try to sing to their enquires, and quite frankly, they do quite well with it. -- they tried to sing to their own choirs. >> this may surprise to our viewers and listeners to hear that most journalists are poorly paid, especially in print. therefore, you do not get the best minds going into journalism. i ran a publishing company for many years, and we would have interest every year, and the best and brightest would say that they love journalism, but they are going to be liars because they want to make some money. even in big city newspapers, they are not fantastic. the occasional person who makes a lot of money on television -- that is quite the exception. it is

they change the subject. you have had that happened. you can be talking about the tax code and out of nowhere they will start talking about "inner- city crime has gone up." we were not talking about that. so the first thing you notice is they will change the subject on you. second, conservatives like to use facts and logic. the liberals ignore the facts. they cannot handle the facts, as jack nicholson would say. you can have all the facts in the world, but they will just ignore the facts. so, if they don't change the subject on you, if they don't ignore the facts on you, and you are trying to have a dialogue, the third thing that they do is they blame bush. [applause] it has to be bush's fault. so thomas called one night and we were talking about health care. that is exactly what he did. i just sat there and did not say a word for about two and a half minutes while thomas entertained my listeners. that is exactly what he did. let's apply this to the health care discussion. when the democrats in congress and the liberals in washington, d

how do you choose subjects for your work? how do you know you have looked upon a subject that will result in an effort full biography? >> when my publisher -- [laughter] -- ups the anti. [laughter] frankly the way i chose subjects was one, 1993i wrote a book about john kennedy which was greatly successful and, therefore things poured in on the right about other presidents, and i thought i had learned how to write about what president actually do, and so i did to more common nixon and reagan, and then of course like everything in life i got to the feeling if i wrote about one more president, ironically my daughter is on barack obama's staff in the white house. [laughter] so maybe i will write about her. [laughter] and i had always had this year nine -- believe me, no one wanted me to write about scientific figures. [laughter] but i was fighting over me and i wanted to reject -- i had no more to say about presidents. i had something to say about the politics of today but not the overriding thing. >> robert, how do you choose su

it did all of the subprime lending outside the bank, not in the subsidiary bank. >> it was subject to california law? >> but the bank itself was not subject to california law, and it is also where they did not do their subprime lenng that caused them a number of problems. >> prime lending it was an entity that was subject to california -- a prime lending was an entity that was subject to california law, attorney general review, all that? >> at that time, before they switch charters, yes. >> did they do that, to your knowledge? what completed the use? -- what template did they use? >> you will have to ask the regulators. historically, there has been this anomaly where the banking company gets heavily regulated, and the holding company affiliates were not subject to the same requirements for annual inspections, and that is a thing that needs to be fixed, and the federal reserve has been doing more on that area, but it is not the same, and i believe it should be. >> let me switch to mr. bowman. when countrywide came to your supervision, you were the holding company supervisor and also of

to this new resolution regime, chosen bit fed subject to the new regime. taken as a whole, these powers mean that the fed would be a systemic risk regulator. though, that term is not defined in the cuments. i take it as a definition these new powers. in my view, these new power will negatively affecthe fed's role as an independent monetary authority. i have four main concerns. first, it seems to me that the additional powers and responsibilities would dilute the key mission of the feder reserve, which is to maintain overall economic and price stability by controlling the growth of the money supply and thereby influencing the overall level of interest rates in the economy. my experience in government, including the u.s. treasury, and elsewhere, is that institutions work best when they focus on a limited set of understandable goals and are held accountable tn the public for achieving these goals. as the number of goals and the lack of clarity increases, the effectiveness and the performance generally decline. my second concern is at responsibility for these

lives is a big subject. government control over our lives is a big subject. these are terrifying subjects. we know that president obama, i'm sure he's doing this with a good heart, is telling us a big lie when he's saying government can cut a huge cost out of health costs. it cannot be done without rationing. cannot be done without either drastically cutting medical or nursing pay or drastically cutting the amount of medical care available to us. so something's got to give. it's either going to be a kind of socialistic government that takes everything eventually, or there's going to be some other solution. but it's a terrifying subject. i mean, i have to say, you know, i'm in chicago because i'm here for the funeral of john hughes. this was a man with unlimited financial resources, incredibly, unbelievably smart, even he couldn't get perfectly adequate health care. with all his resources. how is it going to be done? >> he's the great -- he was the great film director. >> a great man. >> "ferris bueller's day

this strengthening and s streamlining this is a major subject matter. how many hearings have we had? 28 hearings since january on this subject matter, of our financial modernization and regulation. now this is a critical piece. we're going have consolidation of our financial regulators. i welcome our witnesses here this morning, all of you have been here before us on numerous occasions to talk about the various aspects of the financial troubles our nation has been in over the last few years. i want to make one point and i know all of you understand this. i believe you care about this as well. our job is not here to protect regulators. our job is to protect the people who count on us and you ended system to provide a safety and soundness and stability of the financial markets. that is what this is all about. you get that and understand that but i sometimes things we need to clear the air a little bit so people understand what we described in the architecture. that will provide the safety and soundness that we're looking for. let me just turn directly to

is a big subject. these are terrifying subjects. we know that president obama, i'm sure he's doing this with a good heart is telling us a big lie when he's saying government can cut a huge cost out of health costs. it cannot be done without cutting medical or nursing pay or cutting the amount of medical care available to us. so something's got to give. it's either going to be a kind of socialistic government that takes everything eventually, or there's going to be some other solution. but it's a terrifying subject. i mean, i have to say, you know, i'm in chicago because i'm here for the funeral of john hughes. this was a man with unlimited financial resources, incredibly unbelievably smart, even he couldn't get perfectly adequate health care. >> penn jillette, there are 45 billion americans who have no health insurance right now. this is unlike any other industrialized society in the world right now. what should the u.s. be doing about that? >> well, you know, all these numbers, the 45 million, some of

were those guys subject to u.s. law? were they subject to iraqis law? they certainly weren't subject to the code of military justice like normal soldiers were. and that's why the new reporting from "the new york times" on these secret al qaeda hit squads makes so much sense. it turns out that the cia program that was never disclosed to congress, it was a targeted killing program aimed at al qaeda, but one the cia contracted out to a private company called blackwater. i mean, if you are going to be operating in a lawless netherworld anyway why not hire a lawless netherworld operator to do the job? congratulations to mark mazzetti at "the new york times" for this scoop. >>> as you might have heard sarah palin is no longer the governor of alaska but does still have a very popular facebook page where she has just posted a screen against a fairly obscure agency called the u.s. import/export bank. i think it's the export/import bank, excuse me, prompted by an editorial in "wall street journal," about the bank's loan to a brazilian oil company, sarah palin wro

it's a very, very touching subject. people who have read this and jeffrey mason will respond pop our actions do have consequences. especially on those creatures to argue for themselves. >> like elephants? >> yeah, she talking about elephants having nervous breakdowns. the emotional life of animals. and actually how our own empathy towards understanding how they behave teaches us something about what it is to be human. it's an interesting turn around. to understand animals we begin to understand ourselves. >> two bioififgraphy coming out. >> yeah, it's interesting. everyone thinks that we've learned everything we need to know. there hasn't been a biography in 20 years. and it's a couple of decades. we're really excited about this. this is new information and new research, and i think dickins has good information. >> what about arthur danto? >> well, this is a wonderful boyography really of the legacy that warhol left behind. it's more interesting to think about that than look at his paintings and art some people think. w

so, on health care, they have changed the subject. instead of talking about all the chronically uninsured out there that cannot get access, which is a lie, cannot get insurance, and now they are going to shift it to talk about let's demonize the health insurance industry. they have changed the subject. how about ignoring the facts? canada, england, germany, and other countries, fact, all of the country's that put in government controlled health care, eventually led to rationing. no country on the planet, in the history of the world has ever been able to avoid rationing when the government took it over. but they are ignoring that fact. they don't even want to talk about that fact. they simply choose to ignore it. but then it is up to us to basically make people up and say have you noticed that it did not work in these other countries? facts. social security is a mess. fact, medicare is a mess. medicaid is a mess. fact, the prescription drug plan was passed in 2004 by republicans. the original cost was estimated to be about $300 billion

it will create a buffer against loss and they will be subject to loss. i think that market discipline has a number of different avenues that we should pursue and market discipline itself should be pursued alongside of some other regulatory mechanisms. if i could, you know, i was not at the federal reserve. a few months ago. as i have said repeatedly, i do believe there is plenty of blame to go everywhere. but i do not think all roads lead to the fed on this. >> which do not lead to it? >> bear stearns, aig, lehman, fannie and freddie, there were a lot of problems in the system. before this crisis is over, we will have seen a lot of failures and a lot of kinds of institutions. i do not say that to try to deflect any responsibility. in fact, part of what i was trying to say in my prepared remarks and in my introductory remarks was that i take seriously where things and did not get regulated as well as they should have and where the structure needs work. that is why we're starting to make the change we are already making cracks just for the record, who is t

she did not want those days, that paradise from which he suspected she had never really emerged, subjected questions, it was inviolable. instead, he talked to her about his activities of the day, taking care to give nothing much away. he began this way at least, but she had only limited interest in rock analysis. and the limits still showed in a certain vacancy of expression that would descend on her. it was stories she liked, just as much as ever, it seemed. it was marvels of geology that made her face light up. for this reward, elliott was more than willing to supply them. in north america, beneath the great plains, fossil remains of marine creatures had been found. just imagine, 5,000 miles from the sea, at altitudes of 4,000 feet, they had found fossils of a sea creature, among them, the giant reptiles. had she heard tell of this and friendly fellow? you can look today at barack prince of an animal that has been extinct for millions of years that lived and feasted in these rocks were being formed on the floor of the seat. imagine the power that tumbled these rocks from the seabed and t

. >> well, the audit reports themselves are subjective in nature, and we do provide the auditors with all of the factual information that they internal auditors will look at but, since they are -- the information that is contained in there is very subjective in nature, we don't provide the details of the internal audit -- >> okay. so, i assume, therefore, that kbr's audits are more subjective than the other two companies, is that what you are implying. >> i have never seen their audit report, sir. >> can i roll into this. >> by all means. >> i don't want to leave a misimpression about internal you a tors and i come out of the audit profession and let's be fair to them, they are not subjective and maybe you'll tell me, you were an internal auditor and i have work with many industry panels and groups, and they audit precise standards and i have had the opportunity to see internal audit work papers an realize everyone throws out, we have the newport news thing and trying to find a middle ground. but, there are companies, that will accommodate by setting down and saying, go ahead and read

i just want the subject to be on the stage right from the start.whatever it is i do, i am not going to dwell on the ancestry of these peabody sisters. i have three of them to write about, it will be a long book anyway, can't put that in. but i began to find out what was called at one point of the tragedy -- first tragedy in the family's history. another point was referred to about the mother of the peabody sisters, that she had a history that could not be told. and the more i looked into this i would find traces of what turned out to be a story of charles's sexual abuse and seduction was the term they use, something closer to rate whipe resulted in an illegitimate child, it was not a story i set out to tell, but this is women's history, these are the things that happened to women. i did my best to substantiate these stories. i feel quite convinced that these events took place even though it was a difficult thing. the history that should not be told, there were little clues. so i wrote a chapter about the ancestry of the peabody sisters. i felt it w

. >> we need to have more exciting teachers that like the subject, know the subject well. go back into the schools and bring students to graduate in those subjects. >> for the fourth year in a row, the state of maryland is awarding a total of $1.5 million in grant money to local school systems. so they can expand curriculums in math, science and technology. >> we are going to increase our number of mentors, from the private sector. we are going to increase our number of students in project lead the way. preengineering program. >> despite tight fiscal times, educators say the goals can be achieved with little if any, state funds. it is a move to keep maryland competitive in the global economy. in annapolis, john rydell, fox 45 news "late edition". >> the state hopes to utilize federal money to expand the program, in public schools. >> that missouri mother tried for cyber bullying is anow allowed online again. lori drew was accused of being involved in a myspace hoax directed at a 13-year-old girl. you may recall. she committed suicide the 13-year-old girl. drew's attorney s

way of doing business, to tee up the issues that are very complex, and span a huge, huge array of subjects, that each day a president has to deal with and i think that getting the right people into see the president at the right time to brief him on a daily basis, on these issues is this right thing to document it's just -- >> and you're not threatened. >> i don't... look, the principals level with secretary clinton and secretary gates we talk every day. we talk with susan rice up at the u.n., we have a very collaborative team. there is no dissension, nothing but trust and confidence and that is an enjoyable part of the job. so i don't -- i want to make sure the president gets the best advice he can, if i need to put my particular spin on it, i have no problem doing that. i just think i serve the president better by presiding over anning or glacial that tees up the issues in the right way, we have a good process, i think to make sure the president gets the advice that he needs, that we vet it an tear it apart and fight over it if we need to and when we come see the president we have a -- h

>> no. >> the vice manufacturer knows under riegel that they are not subject to court lawsuits. let's say--i was thinking about this, warner/lambert/kent, the fda does not have subpoena power, they approve it, it goes on the market. there's a recall but because they cannot sue, they cannot get discovery to find out if they ever committed fraud on the fda. i hope i have made myself clear. the device manufacturer commits fraud on the fda, puts the device out and injures people but they cannot sue and they cannot get discovery to get at these documents, you will never know whether or not they committed fraud on the fda or not. what is wrong with that line of reasoning? >> can you ask me a specific question? fda does not have subpoena power, but any fda inspector has the authority to obtain records inspection by visiting the company, and they can demand any form of record relating to information on safety and effectiveness in the files of the company. they have 100% of 42 obtain them. this is extremely important, it is a violation regarded by the fda as the most serious violation if

that's the subject of our "face-off debate" tonight. >>> north korea today declared it will free two imprisoned american journalists. north korean's leader kim jong-il gave journalists a special pardon after former president bill clinton visited pyongyang. the north korean news agency saying president clinton issued what it called a sincere apology for the journalist's actions on

the auditors available to you and other companies give you a list, and say, that if something, by subject title, which is -- rarely happens, let's call it like it is, rarely happens, where someone says, that is the assignment someone is working on? so -- but you're not though only company, mr. ballhaus that does it but that is certainly -- not giving them the work papers and everything else, but there is a precision now, opinions are based on data that is gathered in a structure matter. they have internal audits standard that internal auditors spend a lot of time down in orlando, florida, at the audit institute for internal auditors, getting trained, trained, trained, so, it u.s. just unfair, now i wasn't an internal auditor but i worked with a lot

. >> mika, change the subject. >> i am shocked and saddened. mika is taking the kind man's offer. >> what do you think? >> i think it's vertical joe gau. i see no reason why -- >> here is the deal. miley cyrus, too young to work the poll. mommy, too old. and certainly not something that i -- i will have to think about

let me talk about another subject which is close to spirituality and that is the subject of giving. most of us at some point in our lives, if we have been successful in business, successful investing we start to think seriously about giving, not just cutting a check for someone who needs a donation. we want to be a thoughtful, perhaps the systematic ever. that raises a lot of questions. who do give your money to, when do you give it, why do you give it, how much should you give? two of my favorite nonprofits are the cato institute, which is here, george will calls cato the foremost defenders of freedom in the country, the foremost defenders of freedom is certainly a mission to be admired, contribute to. i also give money to the international rescue committee, a great humanitarian organization founded by albert einstein. the irc is there with food, water and medicine and health care and education and great private group does a wonderful job. in fact if your interested in learning more you can visit the irc luff bob orr to learn more about the mission. getting back to this question wh

i wanted to make them the subject of the photographs, not the object. i don't want it to just be about making someone look good. i want to make them feel good about themselves as well. >> being photographed by rankin won't turn you into a supermodel or a rock star. what rankin has designed to do is show that everyone has something, and therefore is someone. >> the camera. >> anna holligan, bbc news. >> just briefly, the main use for you. north korea's state news agency is saying the country's leader kim jung il has pardoned two jailed american journalists serving 12 years hard labor for crossing the border from china. this after a meeting between the north korean leader and bill clinton. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu, the newman's own foundation, the john d. and catherine t. macarthur foundation and union bank. >> union bank has put its financial strength to work for a wide range of companies, from small businesses to major corporations. what can we do for you?

it may not even be relevant to the subject. it would be interesting to track to the contract because it is on a different subject and can have that little opening moment, and that is a real special delight about reading when you are also working on your own material. >> i have been reading for the man booker international price, which is a book -- a price for a body of work, and the winner four years ago was cavari. i've been reading steadily now for 15 months and the interesting thing to me has been that i don't mind reading stuff i have to read even if i don't like it. [laughter] >> i love that about you, jane >> i read a book every three days, depending on the land, sometimes every five days, and i've loved this experience. and there are books i would not have picked up voluntarily that i had to pick up because the other jurors like this author, and i feel like once again, my world has expanded in a way that i kind of didn't expect and kind of figured. i thought if i followed my own tastes i would reach enlightenment, but ac

this is a very important hearing and this is a very important subject or should i say, set of subjects. mr. chairman, i want to start off by discussing the context in which we are holding today's hearing. as everyone in this room knows, congress is in the middle of debating and drafting legislation aimed at overhauling our nation's health care delivery system. obviously, we are somewhat divided over what is the best approach in this effort but i think we all want to see something done to reduce the health care costs in this country. as we all know, the medical device amendments of 1976, the mda we call it, established rigorous system of federal oversight of medical devices. under this system, devices carrying the greatest health risks are subject to premarket approval by the fda. during this process, fda officials spend a tremendous amount of labor intensive time and hours reviewing a single device, consulting outside experts and analyzing the safety and effectiveness profile associated with the use of the device. i'm sure our panel will discuss this process in more detail so i'll just

lots to say on this subject and the troy davis deal. he joins us now.you are surprised the supreme court would look into this. >> amazing. they have had the chance too before, but what they did was so unusual today. usually, as you know, basically what happens is a district court, a trial court decides, then. a court aftof appeals a circuit court deals with it and maybe a supreme court takes it. there is a very unusual procedure where you can go straight to the supreme court to raise an issue. it almost never succeeds but today the supreme court decided to stop this execution and order the hearing just for the first time in 50 years. >> why do you think with this case? >> i think it's very clear. i think some of these justices are concerned an innocent person is about to be executed and they couldn't live with that. one of the interesting legal issues about this case is the court has never decided is it unconstitutional to execute an innocent person? that legal issue you would think has been decided. they never squarely faced the issue. this case may fo

now, let me talk about another subject shich is close to spirituality and that the subject of giving. most of us at some point in their lives even if we have been successful in business, success the one investing we start to think more seriously about giving. it is not just about putting a check. we want t be a thoughtful, perhaps even a systematic giver, and that raises a lot of questions, who do you get your moneyo come w you give it, why do you give it, how much did you give? tw of my favorite nonprofits are the cato institute, which is here, george will calls qada of the four most offenders of freedom in the country, the foremost defenders of freedom. i think that is a mission to be admired, contribed to. i also give money to the international rescue committee, a great organization founded by albert einstein. e irc is there with food, water and medicine and health care and education and great private group that do a wonderful job. if your interested in learning more you can phys-ed irc doc borgen barn morabout their mission but getting back to the question what is the right please

. >> reporter: these days, economics muscles its way into pretty much every subject matter -- history, the environment, even a bit of self-help. but it's a canon of orthodox economics represented by these textbooks that have been conveying the same thing that the world can be modeled by a series of formulae, by mathematics and that can be used to predict the future. while they've got their formulae wrong, and that's asking real questions about the foundations over social science with huge influence. the failure of mathematical particularly the failure of theories associated with the nobel prize winners, is is that one leading thinker to the scrapping of the prize to save from an incompetent economy. >> it's a joke. i mean, would they give that nobel prize to a physicist based on the same criteria? i doubt it. give it to medicine, if i wrote a paper saying, if we lived on mars and did not have lungs and then -- and then this would flow and boom you would get a nobel? come on, it makes no sense. >> reporter: so you're actually actively lobbying? >> well, i saw the swedish king and i'm g

now, they've certainly done business on other subjects. that's true. but absolutely never on health care reform. never. and senator kennedy, by the way, is not an easy compromiser on health care reform. 's in 1994, i was in the room when he told the president that he believed the strategy should be a democrat's only strategy and that we should not be trying to reach out and get republican votes. so the kennedy strategy as enunciated the last time we went through this is exactly what you've been hearing from a lot of these sharper critics on the left in the congress this year. >> and the actions of republicans thus far in this debate also suggests mirroring that perfectly, that whatever senator kennedy might have been willing to compromise on, if there was indeed anything in this bill he would have been, it would never have been enough for those whose purpose is to dilute the bill beyond recognition or having any affect? >> absolutely. the mccain position is essentially sure, if we got amendments in there to remove all the things ted kennedy wanted then

tonight, the subject is the president's health care plan and the angry protesters in those town halltings. >>> new concern about violence at the town hall meetings. i'll be joined by one american who says he was attacked by members of a labor union. if you're taking 8 extra-strength tylenol... a day on the days that you have arthritis pain, you could end up taking 4 times the number... of pills compared to aleve. choose aleve and you could start taking fewer pills. just 2 aleve have the strength... to relieve arthritis pain all day. >>> lawmakers across the country are holding those town hall meetings on health care, and many have decided not to. those who are facing emotional, often angry constituents, but these town hall protests, will they actually affect the outcome of the health care debate? that is the subject of our debate tonight in our "face off," and joining me, two of the leading members of the house energy and commerce committee, which approved the health care bill last month. in nashville, congresswoman marsha blackburn of tennessee. congresswoman, good to have you with

there is some subjectivity in the approach to show or demonstrate compliance to a regulation. and within that subjectivity, people can have a different opinion of what it takes to be compliant. these rankings represent what the auditors who came to see us and evaluate our systems at the appointed time determined to be findings, and inadequacies that needed to be addressed. as we sit here today, that is the current status of our system. but i do believe those 19 findings are all addressable. >> good. thank you. mr. walter. >> we also take this very seriously. i was hired by the company in 2003 based on the experience that i had in helping companies with these types of issues. when we came in, we have taken a very, very serious look at a very focused effort on identifying the issues raised by the auditors as they come in. and if we need to implement a corrective action, we will implement the corrective action. there are some cases -- >> you say if we need to? >> there are some questions we may not agree with the auditors position as to whether an item is a significant deficiency

otherwise, you want to change the subject. rather talk about the half trillion dollar cuts. let's talk about somebody, some town meeting who misbehaved. that's missing the point. >> i want to ask you one more question on that point. what do you think of the white house asking its supporters to forward any e-mails or any claims they get that they think are, quote, fishy, to the white house. >> well, that strikes me as the potential compileation of a list of people that you don't like. it's reminiscent of previous admistrations. look, we need to stop all of this effort and concentrate on the substance. this is an enormously important subject. of course american citizens are concerned about it. and many of them are upset about it. it's not just the town hall meetings, chris. all public polls indicate that support for what the administration is trying to do on health care is declining. >> in the time we have left, which is a couple of minutes, let's do a lightning round of quick questions and quick answers. i knowou always enyoi this exercise. is the obama energy plan, cap and t

others say it's wrong to subject c.i.a. operatives to investigation and prosecution when they were trying to get information which the c.i.a. said was valuable in learning more about al qaeda and preventing future attacks. and all these allegations have been looked at before by other career federal prosecutors. just across the river from washington and alexandria, virginia, where they have experienced terrorism prosecutors. and they decided either the cases were too old or you couldn't find witnesses or the evidence was ambiguous and that they couldn't bring them into court. so they asked why did the attorney general push this when it's been looked at before? i've been told by the people in the justice department that number one, holder believes having looked at these things, having heard about them and now seeing the details, that he felt you just couldn't walk away from this and secondly, he thinks that there are other avenues that could be pursued in these cases that for one reason or another were not looked at. gwen: he
