commodities and currencies once again trading in tandem. >> all super important aspects. let's get into the nitty graty of all of those. first let's start at the top. fixed income story. whether you look at an intraday chart or three-month chart of 10s, you can see that the yields have fallen dramatically. we're at the best yields in terms of the lowest. should we close right here. since about the 20th of may. why? well two, reasons i'm hearing. a, the weakness in the equity markets is resurging the flight to safrkts especially with commodities down as well. where are you going to put your money? and some traders saying that the trial balloon of second stimulus, at least mr. harwood's story today that maybe they're not going in that direction, also may have influenced the positive auction. if you look at the dollar-yen that we were just referring to on the day, you can see how the dollar has plummeted on a year-to-date chart, lowest against the yen in dollar terms since february, last chart, the yield curve hp hey-f yields go down in the 10-year, guess what. the yield cur

they're looking at various scenarios and algorithms, and that's why we're seeing oil and stocks go in tandem. >> sharon, i noticed just on the boards, wholesale gasoline on the futures market has come down. and if i'm not mistaken, retail gasoline across the country has come down, even during this energy rally. so what's up with that? >> it's come down until this week. i will say that gasoline is actually been leading the rally this week in crude oil prices. today a bit of of an anomaly as it is down just a little bit. but we have seen gasoline at the pump falling over the last few days, and tuesdays started climbing higher a bit. what we're seeing right now is the fact that refiners have decided to cut their run rate so significantly that there are some that are saying that down the road, not at this exact moment, but down the road, we'll see tighter supplies or at least less of a surplus, and so that could have gasoline rallying a little more. >> sharon, i'm really interested in this high-frequency trading, because we have seen this phrase more and more. and it seems like if the oil market

we're doing that in a collaborative way, where ofa working in tandem with the state parties, we are sharing best practices and dollars. that is the third goal. that is what the dnc does, basically presidential success, brace for it policies, state organization developments. let's talk about the things that we're focused on right now. health care and health insurance. i had an opportunity yesterday, which i have every year, which i have taken for the last five or six years ago to one of the most amazing events that i have ever been to. in a community in southwest virginia, it is an avalanche of, completely at the other end of the state. a couple of catholic nuns, this woman at w. pdf -- vw beetle began at distributing supplies 15 years ago. it became a bus, and thus became a winnebago. people started here about her and the st. mary's help whit and health -- health wagon. they set up camp on the state fair campgrounds and they said we're going to provide free medical care or dental care to people who do not have health access in this poor part of appellation -- appellation -- appalachia. it i

magnitude and efforts of people from all walks of life, from industries large and small, who worked in tandem to obtain a long-term goal of magnificent achievement, while neil and i stood on the lunar surface with mike orbiting above supported the three of us were hundreds of thousands of american workers who comprise the greatest team ever assembled. they are often overlooked at a time like this. i would like to pause tonight and look backwards not through the eyes of a lucky pilot, but through the eyes of these hard- working americans, the scientists and engineers, policymakers and flight directors, navigators and all those on the shop floor, the seamstress who stitched the 21 layers for each custom tailored space suit. we cannot ever adequately thank them for committing their lives and professional energies, minds and hearts to this mission and to the other apollo missions. tonight, while we think about missions past and future, i also want to think about and think those without whom we would have never walked on the moon. the american said it committed the unknowns with us apollo 11 was a

hezbollah says they have tripled the size of the missile force and they are hidden, better ranges, the tandem charges come three iran and iran is funding the troops which is extremely effective so you see the weaponry ratcheting up and there is no direct relation that we know between russia and hezbollah so it comes through iran. so if it answers to iran you need the money to build up the southern suburbs. he was created by iran in 1982 and he has been a loyal officer in the ranks. and i think he really believes in the great iranian empire buy proxy. this is the iranians managing to cross the ethnic divide which is so scary to the jordanians and the israelis. veba if this every day we fall back on the opinion that the iraqis will reassert themselves as the iraqis. they did not fight during the 88 war by think the iranians understand how to reverse this the least temporarily in iraq. i think the israelis are worried about things getting worse record depends what we do. if we get into iraq and the government about malachi allies with iran, the israelis will really be scared. >> i am curious to

approval numbers almost always go in tandem with how the economy is doing. you are stuck.when it is not doing well, how much does he really have to do? >> that's a great point. the president gets a disproportionate share of the curedit. with this particular session, i think people are holding obama more accountable because he has said that in order to fix the recession, we have to do it in directly. we have to fix health care and we have to fix cap and trade. that will result in the economy getting fixed. if you look at the results of this poll, the very top priority is to fix the economy. martha: it has been a very tough sell. people are not really buying that. trace: i think the most high- grade thing for me is that the president hit the campaign and now and says if you make a certain amount of money in your taxes are not going up. and no one believes that. >> yes, and it is striking. he said only couples making more than $1 million will be affected by this. the public does not buy it. eventually that will start bleeding into my category and we will all get soaked by hig

but the ilo measure is almost double what the claimant count is whereas normally they would move in tandem together. so one wonders if there's something about the level at which people could claim and at the moment, we would tend to favor the ilo measure as perhaps more accurate. >> when you compare the high, it's below the 9% levels we're seeing in the euro zone and the u.s. at the moment, but nevertheless, isn't the uk going to get to those unemployment numbers? what are your forecasts for total unemployment? >> well, much of it depends on the trends we're seeing in the claimant count which tends to be a good leading indicator. the claimant count is telling us things aren't quite as bad as we expected. they're cutting rages and not reducing head count. but if we're just seeing a distortion coming through here, otherwise we would have expected ilo count come in at 3 million. at the moment, it's just shy of 3 million, 2.9 million. >> and it's a round number, i suppose, frankly in the scheme of things. stick around with us. there's plenty of other things to talk about with global data today

committee that max baucus and ranging republican chuck grassley from iowa, they do everything in tandem. he does not yet have grassley's okay to go ahead with this on a partisan line. as you know, the senate health committee voted along partisan lines, they got that bill out of committee with no republican support. that's something that baucus is always hesitant to do. he's got one person he can probably get to make it bipartisan and that's olympia snowe, the republican from maine. >> before i bring the rest of the panel in on this, quick and dirty, chuck, what's in the bill? the house bill that has already been presented, key highlights and kilolights. >> i think the key highlight that it's everybody here is how to fund health care reform. this idea of surcharges. one thing earlier this week the president reiterated the pledge on not raising taxes on those that make $250,000 or less. what's that mean? to come up with the funding gap that was missing here, anywhere from $300 billion to $600 billion, depending on the different health care bills, the house bill is talking about a milliona

people think carriers, doug, often trade in tandem with oil, right? or cross against oil, once oil comes down it's better for the stock or airlines. a year ago oil was $145, now $65 a barrel. your stock has gone from $5 a year ago to about $2. does that seem strange? >> yeah. the economy got much softer in between. and the offsetting those things, you know, have largely offset each other. that is, as the economy weakened, and demand for air travel definitely weakened after the start of the year. as that -- as demand came down, oil prices came down as well. those very offsetting effects. the revenue shortfall, however, is greater than the -- what we have seen in oil recovery. so what you have seen at us airways you see from everyone. earnings for the most part have gotten not dramatically better. i should know that in today's results, we have some real improvement when you take out the effects of fuel hedging. our earnings, you know, $40 million of profit this year on that basis versus $300 million loss last year. things we're doing are making a huge d

we regard to maritime -- freedom of access to the mayor tandem in as absolutely is central to everything we want to get done. . there are 250-some submarines in our responsibility. not very many of the more hours, but a good number. we continue to pursue asw technology. we want to make sure other countries understand what we can offer them in terms of defense and right of access of maritime command, and countries who develop technologies that we will uncounted to that policy, we will work to overcome those developments. thanks. yes, ma'am. >> thank you so much for your succinct remarks. my question is regard to a remark he made previously. you have 36 member states covering 3.9 billion population. my question is do you have measures to effectively measure the programs, and do you have any joint lessons learned process to measure those programs? >> is a great question, two great questions. the first one, very tough. in a way you end up trying to argue the negative. if we do not exercise on a bilateral or multilateral basis, how do you know what might happen in what might not happen? i do

he worked very closely with ted kennedy, obviously a democrat to see how they could both do it in tandemat he recommends now. brian: it's been a disaster. alisyn: not exactly. lots of health care in massachusetts is a shining example -- they have the best doctors in the country. brian: how about the money? alisyn: most costly. steve: mr. romney talks about have they gone up to massachusetts? have they looked at what worked? have they looked at what didn't work? from what he could tell, no. now, there is a group out there, and they realize the challenges facing the government as they try to rework our healthcare system. and they put together a spot. it's about four minutes long but we have reduced it down. brian: three minutes and 59 seconds. steve: thank you very much. what would health care look like in this country. and they use the analogy of a restaurant. what would health care look like in the country if it were a restaurant? watch. >> imagine that this restaurant is america and that washington takes over our health care. see, the first thing that's going to happen is that doctors a

talk about other countries in regards to the power the military has verses their government or in tandemwith the government. we did not often discussed that in terms of america. we were certainly warned about the military-industrial complex. host: thanks. take a look at " the boston globe." robert mcnamara, a vietnam war's anguished architect, dies. if you look at the opinion section of "the wall street journal" today, but global view column, for mcnamara to obama. dwight eisenhower famously said that, in preparing for battle i have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable. robert s. mcnamara, who spent many is think about the vietnam war, first as an architect and then as a critic, and getting it wrong when both ends, was a man would leave mainly in plans. mcnamara, who died yesterday, will go down as a cautionary tale for the ages, and perhaps none more than for the age of obama. whatever else the slick -- distinguishes lbj boss agrees aside from barack obama's new foundation, " this too is an era of soaring rhetoric, big plans and the alice of regard, issued b

>> some say they are a tandem. they work perfectly it's a lovely marriage. others tell us think are not even talking to each other and there is a lot of tension. certainly the key discussion in russia who is running this country. brian: we know one thing for sure you are running the bureau. thanks for joining us this morning. gretchen: he knows how to say medvedev better than i do. brian: than everybody. gretchen: putin we rather see john mccain or obama in he says he looks in in his eyes he sees kgb: one civilian dead in afghanistan. four civilians and four afghan soldiers hurt. the attacker blew up his minivan at a check point outside the kandahar air field. bombing comes as u.s. marines continue a major offensive against the taliban. general motors clears a major road block. late last night a federal judge gave the company a green light to sell most of its assets to the new g.m. that clears a key hurdle as g.m. tries to emerge from bankruptcy. hundreds of groups objected to the sale. it's not clear if they will appeal. the items not sold to the new g.m. w

and there were two responding officers and both of their police reports are pretty much in tandem with each other. they are telling the same story. when the president respond, he thought that his friend, professor gates, had been arrested at his home, it sounded as though a white police officer had been harassing a very upstanding professor in cambridge, massachusetts and it was a race thing. he said that he thought that the police had acted, quote, stupidly by arrest ago guy in his own house. but now that we know the details and they are very interesting, how it all transpired, it doesn't sound like that anymore. brian: first off just to tell the whole story from the beginning. here is barack obama on his statement about professor gates. >> you know, i have to say i'm surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement because i think it was a pretty straightforward commentary that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle aged man who uses a cane who is in his own home. brian: that's what he says was the fact. he was his friend before. the bottom line is, it has overwhelm

the president in tandem with democrats in congress has pushed through the $787 billion bill full of porkrrel spending, government waste, and massive borrowing, cleverly called "stimulus." there's no doubt our nation faces many challenges. the plain truth is that president obama's economic decision has not produced jobs. it has not produced prosperity and it has not worked. president obama has already asked you to borrow trillions of dollars. so far, nearly 3 million jobs have been lost alone this year. remember the promises? they promised you that if you paid for their stimulus, jobs would be created immediately. in fact, they said that unemployment would stay under 8%. months later, they're telling us now to brace for unemployment to climb over 10%. they promised jobs created. the scramble now to find a way to play games with government numbers by claiming jobs saved. simply put, this is now president obama's economy and the american people are beginning to question whether his policies are working. that does not mean we are out of options. together, we can bring about a strong and real

we will reduce payments reduce costs in tandem with that. today's announcement represents the essential role hospitals play in making reform our reality. a reality will be we must enact this reform this year. we must and we will enact reform by the end of august. we cannot wait. i know that the leaders that are up here know that. the president knows that. my colleagues i just spoke to know that. the entire congress knows it. i look forward to hearing how their hospitals are going to be helping and bringing about this reform. that is why they are here today. i thank you again for being here. i think the press for being here and our colleagues and i would like now to introduce sister keehan. >> thank you. madame secretary. it is an honor to be here today. i am pleased to call my -- join my colleagues today. to contribute to the cost of meaningful health care reform. this is a great day for all americans. as we take a critical step closer to a health care system that officially delivers quality care to everyone. coverage for all has been a goal

should we get used to oil and commodities trading in tandem with equities?that's what we're seeing and you're characterizing that as any risk-based trade, when it goes down, they all go and the only thing that goes up, what, bonds? >> bonds would probably rally. you would see it maybe a little bit more in the long end. >> and then the commodity currencies get hit. so does the dollar benefit, then? >> i think the dollar looks pretty good and, you know, it's interesting, specifically the aussie, they had a gate retail sales number last week and even the saucy comes in after. i normally think risk on/risk off is an over simplification. reading through everything on friday and saturday, it was the first thing that came to mind. i think you might see that this week. so yeah, you know, you would see the aussie and the cat and like you said, the dollar, it looks like it's close to what could be the beginning of a fairly strong up move and i will say, i don't think you'll see the central dollar on the back. last night we had comments from china .various places aroun

from industries big and small who worked in tandem to attain a long-term goal of magnificent achievementle neil and i stood on the lunar surface with mike orbitting above, supporting the three of us were hundreds of thousands of american workers who compromise what may be called the greatest team ever assembled. they're often overlooked at a time like this. i would like to pause tonight and look backwards, not through the eyes of a lucky pilot and astronaut but through the eyes of these hard-working americans. meteorologists, policymakers and flight directors. navigateors and suit testers and all those in the shop floor such as the seamstrett who stitched the 21 layers for each custom tailored space suit. we cannot ever adequately thank them for committing their lives and professional energies, minds and hearts, to this mission. i want to think about and thank those about whom we never would have walked on the moon. ed white. roger aftery. the americans who came committed, believed in and conquered the unknowns with us. apollo 11 was also about leadership. we are moved by a young america

administration views this tandem of power here in russia.hey were consistent in what they said also tells u.s. administration one important thing, whatever so far president medvedev has committed to, whether it's arms reduction, cooperation in afghanistan, possibly dealing down the road with some sort of potential ballistic missile threat that might come from iran, all those things now can be more believed. why? because prime minister putin has validated them. so i also asked president obama this. last week he said he thought that prime minister putin still had one foot stuck in the cold war. upon hearing that prime minister putin reacted very negatively saying, you know, i need to inform the american president that i have both my feet right underneath me and they're planted in the future as is everyone in russia. so i asked the president after meeting prime minister putin do you still believe he has that one foot stuck in the cold war? here is our exchange. >> i think that, you know, he would admit that his formative years were. >> i mean n

i think the tandem is a fiction or in russian words, it's a village. mr. obama has to operate under the assumption that on any issue of importance to him, from nuclear reductions, negotiations to afghanistan, to iran, the ultimate ar bitter of russian policy is vladimir putin. that doesn't mean that it's a waste of time. but i think that mr. obama's going to have to assume that there's virtually no space between both. that any position taken by him has essentially been blessed by his mentor-master, you choose the word. i also think and we may disagree about this, that president obama probably should harbor no illusions that the united states or any particular can take measures in moscow to empower any west-leaning officials in the government. now, if what i'm suggesting is true, i think it creates several problems. the first and i think frankly less important challenges presented by the de facto unconstitutional decision making arrangement in moscow has to do with the optics of the meeting. we can probably manage this i think by having both preside over th

the bottom line is a library book but these are books -- i like to read books in tandem. i am not a person who has to start one book and go through all the way to the end before i start another one and so this book by simon winchester which i put up in new york is about a great china scholar, so i am very interested in in his take. this is a book that both my wife and i are enjoying simultaneously but this is a remarkable book. this is kevin his book about thomas jefferson and his reading in the books that shaped his life. this is a brand new book from yale, reading matters. and hitler's reading, very interested in this. i wrote about this fellow and one of my books, supposedly an illiterate but was a remarkable figure of pottery and he would read these little messages one of the pieces that he made. it is very interesting. these of the kind of books that we are playing with and reading. before we go downstairs of like to show you a few things for fun. 95 percent are for work and represent some aspect of my life of but there are a few things here that become targets of ra

third, we hope to work increasingly in tandem with china on other issues in which we share a common interestch as advancing counterterrorism efforts, pursuing arms control, stemming the spread of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems and combating extremism and promoting stability in afghanistan and pakistan. we would also like to see china work with us to address governance and development concerns in places like sudan, burma and zimbabwe. fourth, in military affairs, the challenge before us is to maximize the space for cooperation. in that pursuit of common interests while working to narrow our differences and prevent misunderstandings or accidents that could lead to confrontation. if confirmed i will work closely with the defense department and the representatives of our military services to improve the military-to-military relationship and build a framework for increased strategic trust between our two nations. fifth and finally, collaboration on clean energy and greater energy efficiency. both offer a real opportunity to deepen the overall u.s./china relationship. as ut
