>> guest: oh, on the terry wogan chat show on the bbc. c-span: just one day said, "i am the son of god." >> guest: yeah. and in britain, this was a big splash. it's kind of like geraldo suddenly announcing he's the son of god. it would become a big deal. c-span: do you know anything we don't know? is it -- is that an announcement coming? (laughter) >> guest: i'm not sure! but david icke said, "not only am i the son of god, but the world is about to be destroyed by cataclysmic earthquakes and tidal waves and floods." and what i thought was interesting back in the '90s is that, ok, we were amazed and laughing. but a little bit of us thought, "maybe he is the son of god. maybe he's right." so he went on this chat show, and the whole nation watched and -- and he made these predictions and said that he was the son of god. and the audience was laughing nervously. and i think the nation kind of looked to terry wogan, the presenter, for guidance because part of us thought "maybe this guy is a soothsayer." and terry wogan just said, you know, "the

terrie? >> i'm happy to sit. is the rest of the panel happy to sit?et's sit here and get all right, good. thank you. thank you,

terry, did you want to -- i wasn't referring to the weekly standard. [laughter] >> ebitda pos some of the writers of the standard. anyway, i would say this, when i published the media journal for for this some years ago i had someone look at this question and coming back to 1936, every presidential reelection since then and this was through '96, all the surveys that had been done of journalists in terms of voting preferences or presidential elections or political preferences where you stand on this issue or that had revealed the same bottom line which is to say that journalists, and these are journalists at the highest levels, they say the laws that cover national politics sometimes a would be surveys of the bureau chiefs in washington, etc., etc.. they would fall in the democratic liberal side by a wide margin sometimes even huge margins, sometimes narrow depending on back-and-forth. i don't think that changed. i think if you get data on the election this year we will probably see it lopsided democratic. that isn't to say because someone is space in t

terry town music hall is known for its excellent acoustics. in fact, in 1997, jazz singer tony bennett performed there in celebrated fashion without a microphone. mr. speaker, the question i guess is, should taxpayers fund the restoration of a music hall where acclaimed artists such as bruce springsteen, lyle lovett and james taylor have performed? this theater was also the site for sceneses in movies such as "the preacher's wife" and "the good shepherd." is such a site not able to sustain itself with private donations? and if that is the case, that it cannot sustain itself with private donations, then i would suggest that, is there sufficient public interest to restore this hall so much, if private money can't be raised, that we should force taxpayers to pay for it? the fact -- in fact, according to its website, in the past year the theater itself donated over $80,000 of space and recently purchased land costing $2 million for staff parking and future expansion. madam speaker, this weekend you can attend a performance at the music hall for a

as terry has been saying, he is just a very talented communicator. i do not think we're going to be tripping and stuff -- to bring him up on that. if a year from now inflation is up and unemployment is at 10% and does not appear that the stimulus money is doing much, scandals over the stimulus money, then we are going to be flopping around like pigs in lead -- pigs in mud. my wife is going to change the locks on the house of time during the hard-hitting reports. [laughter] >> that raises the question. some suggested that there is an unlevel playing field, or there was between mccain and obama. the media was pro-obama it continues to be secreted you think it is part of the problem? i was not referring to the -- "the weekly standard." >> i would just say that i have published in a journal for "forbes." going back to 1936 and every presidential election since them through 1996, all of these surveys that had been done of journalists in terms of voting preferences or political issues of where we stand had revealed the same bottom line which is to say jour

brian moran, one of terry mcauliffe's opponents, did not seem to concern. he said this -- "the guide rumored to be running for governor of new york and when it -- the guy rumored to be on running for governor of new york is one to tell us who is running for governor in virginia." the virginia secretary of state yesterday said that what could be a piece of bad news, mcauliffe relying on high turnout around the state to boost his prospects. the secretary of state yesterday said that she expects, based on absentee voting applications so far, expects the voter turnout on tuesday to be relatively low. again, that could be bad news for mcauliffe. moving on to california, where there is the governor's race going on, not for tuesday but for next year. there's a new poll that in the democratic and republican primaries, a top tier of candidates, relatively well- known democrats. first, leading the race by a slim margin, san francisco mayor gavin knew some trailing by 18%. there are other candidates in the race making up the difference. in the republican race, a lot o

terry. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. terry: i rise in support of this enblank amendment, particularly because it includes two amendments made in order under the rule. the bill specifies no obligated for the deployment of a long-range missile defense system in europe until the secretary of defense submits a record report to congress certifying that the proposed interceptor has been realistically flight tested and demonstrated a high pronalt of working in an operational manner. that makes sense. in recent months, studies have been conducted by various independent scientists and has shown the radar proposed does not have enough range to perform effectively. the intercept -- the interceptor's capability are dependent on the ability and accuracy of the radar. that's whyible it's imperative that the secretary's report to certify about the radar. the second amendment directs the jason panel, which has been providing independent scientific advice to the government since 1960 to conduct a study on whether discrimination capabilit

terry. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from nebraska is recognized for one minute. mr. terry: there's a debate about the ant row poe logic impact -- anthropologic impact on our planet. we need to have our constituents to treat them in a manner that preserves our nation's economic competitiveness. advocates for the cap and frayed bill state that it will not significantly increase economic burdens on our constituents. this is just not true. the cap and tax bill also contains renewable electric standards and other elements which will significantly increase costs to utilities and consumers. the omaha public power district in my district conducted an independent anational sifts costs to my constituents free of political interference like the one put out by the e.p.a. even with the free allowances and allocated under the waxman-markey cap and tax bill, nebraskans will have to suffer a $74 million bill in 2012, an increase to $410 million a year by 2030 in the most optimistic case. vote against this bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman

terry's staff on wednesday night. immediately after they brought this issue to my attention. i responded immediately to their concerns. finally i reached out to inform him of what any intent was, toe clear up the understanding and make it absolutely clear that neither he nor his company are the focus of the sub committee's inquiry. so i want to say to mr. barton, to mr. upon the ento the members on the other side of the aisle publicly what i already said to them privately. i would never seek to intimidate or retaliate against a person from having to come in and testify before the sub committee. i value the perspectives all of our witnesses bring. i regret any misunderstanding or misimpressions that the contents of the letter or the timing may have raised. that's why i immediately after learning of the minority concerns prepared a second letter to direct them to respond generically to the questions rather than focusing on mid american. that's why i addressed him directly. which i have done. joe and fred and the other members, i want to let you know i have the personal greatest

what king saw, terry crowley, when i was going good last year, everything was here, we were getting a nice load back here and stay here and as the ball is coming, i would stay here and then as i swing, transfer a little bit of weight to the front and that's what got me going. and it's just amazing how as a hitter, you don't see that stuff or feel that stuff as you're at the plate. but when you have somebody else tell you and show you, it makes all of the difference in the world. >> one of the theories that i think is really so good about this era of hitters is all of the good hitters talk about staying inside the ball. explain what that means to me, because in my era was get the head out. >> right. well i think you still get the head out for me. a lot of guys stay inside the ball and a lot of guys -- alex rodriguez is probably one of the best to stay inside. you see the way he hits the ball the other way. he gets to his front foot. i think a lot of front foot hitters have to stay inside the ball. >> ichiro. >> ichiro. they transfer the weight to the front foot so they have to keep the

terry francona gets his 800th win as a big league manager. red sox are 45-28, best in the a.l. they've won 11 of their last 14 against the braves. in his first 10 career starts against atlanta, josh beckett went 2-7. since then, he's 6-0 in seven starts with an e.r.a. of .38. in fact, his two runs allowed over seven starts against the braves is the fewest in a seven-start span against atlanta in the modern era. that's since 1900. there were reports friday the warriors were going to trade stephen curry and a couple other players to the phoenix suns in return for amare stoudamire fire. but warriors coach don nelson says, that's not going to happen. >> he wasn't drafted for somebody else. he is not going to be traded. we drafted him because we think he's a terrific player. and he's the kind of guy that we want. he fits right into our program of our green and growing young team. and that's why he's here, so he can unpack his bags, go look for a house, and relax. he ain't going any place. >> spain's ricky rubio one of three point guards the t-wolves took in the first round of the nb

tom and terry are going to talk about some of these issues in more detail, but this is a top down look at what the money has been buying since the end of world war ii. on the right side, you see the army budget in the same inflation-adjusted dollars, the trend line drawn to the middle is picked by the computer. as you can see, it has been going up over time. it is significantly above the historic trendline. book at the graph on the left, forces in terms of division equivalence, it has been going down significantly. we now have 10 division's worth of brigade combat teams, the smallest since the end of world war ii. we are trying to add 60,000 new personnel to the army, that is not even the showoff in the army's personnel, brigade combat teams data, same thing in the navy, more money means less combat ships. same thing in the air force, the air force budget is all over the place, but at a constant level of spending. the air force structured the number of combat airplanes, fighters and bombers, significantly down, at a post world war ii lowe, a level of spending that is above the historic

they whipped the greatest while terry power on earth not once but twice and drove out the french and spanish, invented novel technologies, built roads, canals, cities, sold ice to far away india and spread open source creativity over every aspect of american culture. a major reason they were able to produce so many miracles from the six-shooter to the steamboat, to manned flight, was they weren't weakened by the phony concept of adolescence for which there is not a scrap of scientific evidence or by any artificial extension of childhood through forced schooling. early american society celebrated accomplishment as any frontier society must before the politicians and the schemers concluded -- colluded to build managers for themselves and the economy prior to the civil war was dominated by independent livelihoods. as abraham lincoln told me wisconsin agricultural association, in 1859, it had room for any one of energy and ideas whether they lived in a mud shack or behind brass knockered doors. foreign visitors were dazzled by the energy released by a society so revolutionarily egalitari

terry kendall and marguerite, they just love to hillsdale college. they gave us $4 million. bob lane, from jackson hole, wyoming, loved hillsdale college. the college is a cause. you have to state that cause carefully, because the college is a unique and very odd thing. the college is trying to be what it was 150 years ago, but the world has changed a lot. 150 years ago, everybody ran the way we ran. >> here is another clip. >> welcome to lane. i just wanted to give you a quick tour of a classroom. it is quite a bit different than your standard a&m size classroom. it seats about 20 or so people that is a normal size classroom. in my freshman english class we have 11 students. freshman english 101, required for everybody. it is crazy. >> what does he mean by crazy? >> first of all, i am interpreting jared's mind, so who knows what he means by any of this. it is a 10 to one student to teacher ratio. everybody has to take two semesters of english. they read the same stuff. everybody has to take two semesters of history. it is almost all original source materials. everybody has

guest: you are probably referring to terry, the former chairman of the democratic committee. and the other parachuted just 10 months ago into the democratic race and assembled an impressive organization and raised a good deal of money. but the pre-primary polls which are more curiosities than anything else given the likely small turnout suggest he may be fading somewhat. a second candidate is brian moran, a former member of the house of delegates. he is from the city of alexandria. heat is the younger brother of jim, a longtime congressman from northern virginia who sits on the appropriations committee. he has been touched by some of the controversies surrounding military contracts. and the dollars that congressman generate from lobbyists for the defense industry. the next candidate is deeds. the polls seem to suggest a surge on his part. he is a former member of the house of delegates as well and was an unsuccessful candidate in 2005. that was the closest statewide race in virginia history. he was defeated by the man he would like to take on in the fall, bob macdonald, the r

we have some recommendations on our own reglets terry -- regulatory reform report. i think that is the issue. it is systemic risk regulation for which last stiegel has kept us safe for more than 50 years. in a changed world, we will have to have a new version of it. >> thank you very much. >> we went from being a to income family to a one income family. i appreciate the work you have done. i want to ask you about page 36 of the report. he said the most direct way for them to increase their capital base is to earn net income from a a banking business and add debt to its capital accounts. they are not going to be able to earn their way out of it as you look ahead. can the opposite occurred? -- occurred? o occurr? ? the chairman has done wonderful work on dealing with credit cards. i think congress is interested in looking at what we would consider normal banking business now compared to what it was in the past and what it ought to be. can we go the other way in which we put -- we lower the income of banks to get rid of some of these predatory practices? are they putti

terry mentioned wanting to be on mount rushmore. they all love to be on mount rushmore, including this one. he said i'm not sure there's enough rock to fit my years up there. that is a yes as far as i'm concerned. -- there is not enough barack to fit mine ears up there. teddy roosevelt said and laughed at think it should be a very powerful office and i think the president should be a very strong man, did not even concerned -- consider the word person, but because of this fact i think he should be sharply watched by the people and held to strict accountability. having looked at that and figured out that, yes, all presidents went to be on mount rushmore and have as much possible -- as much power as possible, i looked at the question. it is this president would to be an imperial president breaking to the conclusion that yes, he does. next week, i could change my mind but just for the sake of argument i'm going to make the stance that he does. he wants to be a stealth imperial president and he is doing a darn good job of it. i'm going t

terry was there. i was like the second oldest person on the guest list. so this was a young crowd.fter kissinger spoke and after bill said a few words, then there was a time for toasts. and i gave a toast. and this was something i actually had to modify a little bit in the book because i quoted a lot from a poem by w.b. yates and my editor said, look, if you're quoting so much to pay for this poem you're going to have to pay permissions so i'm going to have to do a lot of paraphrasing. and it's one of yates' last poems and it's called "beautiful lofty things" and the things are people who were important to him in his life. one of them is a drunk. stan o'grady supporting himself between the tables speaking to a drunken audience, high nonsensical words. one of them is his lover. maude gunn that house station waiting a train, palace athena in that straight back and arrogant head. and one of them was yates' father. and yates' father got involved in the controversy over the playboy of the western world. when that play was premiered, irish nationalists were outraged because they thought

host: terry joins us on the democrats' line from chicago, illinois. caller: i just want to say that i believe in what the president is trying to do. if it was easy, it would have been done a long time ago. i have seen your guest several times, and he is definitely -- i will not say right wing, but anything that involves the president, you can believe that he will be in that position. he just made the comment about medicare, why the costs are high. but the president also address that he has a plan to overhaul medicare. tell the whole story. i love c-span, but i assume you have another guest coming on that will have a different view. but i will say, people, do not just take what he says literally because he tends to talk very negative about the president, and his view, anything about obama is going to be skewed that way. well, you know, i think that it is right that the administration claims that it is going to have all kinds of reforms and savings in medicare, but it really has not put forward a whole lot for example, there say they want $300 billion i

so i think the north korean people will please understand better than we might expect the himeno terrie in process of the united states and its people. >> thank you, senator. senator dorgan? >> thank you very much for being here. i just want to underscore the point that senator wicker made it the beginning of this hearing about the two journalists, and i understand the limitations of this hearing. i must tell of the gross human rights violation by north korea and taken the lead could taking human pawns in some way as they see it for negotiations with the united states or regards to their other issues and it's something that we just need to continue to raise and printout that how outrageous that type of action is. now, number three in's human rights records is deplorable generally. the state department's 2008 human-rights report documents elon jury list of the regime's practices. i have the opportunity to chair the helsinki commission and we deal on a regular basis of human rights and one of our points is how we can use those reports in a more effective way to try to help the people of t

terry was there i was the second oldest person on the guest list so it was a young crowd. after kissinger spoke and after bill said a few words, then there was a time for a toast. i gave a toast. this was something i actually had to modify a little bit in the book because i quoted a lot from aplomb by yates and my editors of the few quote so much in this point* you have to pay for permission so well have to do a lot of paraphrasing. [laughter] buy here is what i say on that that night, it is one of yates last poems and it is called a beautiful lofty things. the things are people who were important to him in his life. one of them is a drunk. supporting himself between the tables speaking to a drunk and audience high nonsensical words. one of them is his lover, the house station awaiting a train, palace of the net in the straight back and eric and head. and one of them was yates father anti-aids father got involved over the play, the playboy of the western world when that was premier irish nationalist for outrage because they thought it was disrespectful to the peasantry so

terry mcauliffe, the former chair of the dnc, is being challenged by virginia state senator and a former assemblyman in the primary, and turnout is expected to be key with 200,000 democrats expected to go to the polls today in virginia. and a piece by robert c. smith, a former two-term senator from new hampshire. he now lives in sarasota, florida, and is running for the senate seat in florida next year, the seat vacated by martinez. one of the other themes this morning in the newspapers, at a photograph of senator edward kennedy and senator robert byrd. senator kennedy is in massachusetts recovering from brain surgery, battling brain cancer, and robert byrd, who continues to battle a staph infection at an undisclosed hospital. also inside "the washinton post," "on the cusp of historic majority, senate democrats miss the pillars." and from inside "the new york times," "senate feels an absence of health bill." chris dodd is the number 2 democrat on the health committee and has taken on the role of health care with senator kennedy. he is supported by leaders of three working groups that mr.

supported medicaid will not be enrolled under this provision of this bill while you serve as are circuit terry? >> i can assure you that states now, because of the various federal rules requiring verification of identity, have those systems in place. they really have developed systems to verify identity, not only visiting clientele, but and rolling clientele. that will certainly be in place as we move forward. >> it would not be your intention or something that you are not allowed to have been that the automatic enrollment process would not overlook or override those current verification requirements? >> that is correct. >> thank you. i yield back my time. >> thank you, mr. deal. chairman of the subcommittee? >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you secretary for being with us today i wanted to take my time to just ask about medicare. i think there is a certain amount of confusion, because obviously in this discussion draft, that we can save money that would be used to pay for this plan. this is through savings in medicare and medicaid at the same time, there are major enhancements in both progra

.: the other thing the orioles have done, terry has worked very hard with this group on their overall approach, is they don't strikeout a lot. the orioles have struck out fewer than any team in the american league. so the moral of the story is, if you put the ball in play, good things will happen. so you work the count, you look for a good pitch and you go for it. that's one of the things that he works on every day. scott rips it down right-field line, that's base hit. reimold heading for third as dukes digs it out. dukes will get it back in. the orioles have something going here, second and third and nobody down. >> jim p.: what did we talk about, the fact maybe he gets righties out better than lefties. he hangs a curveball here. numbers are high, over 300, but they're better than they were a month ago. >> rob: they were almost .400 off of him left-handed about a month ago. he's got to get that curveball down and away from luke scott. that's up and in the zone. that's right where a lefty wants that curveball. danger time for that guy. >> jim p.: so you talked about the nationals last

terry, a small business owner nearby in columbus, expects to pay 35% more this year to cover his employees. he wants to cover his employees, but he has a 30% increase. what's he supposed to do? especially when his business, i don't know a lot about his business, but so many small businesses are squeezed more and more because of the economy. so we know these stories, and that's why it's so important, mr. president, that we -- that we address health care reform this year. now, we want to do several things. first of all, anybody that's in a health care plan that they're happy with, that they're satisfied with now, they can stay in that plan. if they want to make that choice, they stay in the plan. second, we're going to do a lot of cost. we need to -- we need to stop the huge increase in premiums, co-pace, deductibles, we have to do a better job to constrain costs in the health care plan than this government or the private sector has been able to do for decades. third, we need to give people full choice. that means that they can stay in their plan, as i mentioned earlier, number one, but they

my wife, terry, my son, christopher, and lauren's boyfriend, kevin, miss loren every minute of every day. i will not have the opportunity to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away in marriage. she will not experience the joy of a growing child within and raising a loving family as we did. our traditional christmas eve visit to new york city for some last-minute shopping and taking in mass at st. patrick's cathedral will probably come to an end this year, it will be too painful to make that trip without lauren. many of my fave -- fellow crash victims' families sitting behind me have similar stories and similar losses. so now it is up for you to make a difference. everyone in this room today and those who were here last wednesday expressed that they had come before you to make the necessary changes in safety. winter is coming. if we do not implement critical safety changes before then and another accident occurs, we can only blame ourselves for losses of those families. i do not wish to shoulder that burden, and hope and believe that you agree with me. mr. chairman, ranking

he is also joined this morning by his wife, terri. i am deeply impressed with the work of the maurers and all the families of the victims of flight 3407. as the father of four and grandfather of two, i cannot begin to imagine the pain that comes from tragically losing a loved one. it speaks very highly of all the families here today that you are working to take what must be such deep sorrow and focusing on improving airline safety and helping other americans. i am looking forward to hearing your testimony and recommendations this morning, and both the chairman and i -- i know i speak for everyone on the committee -- we thank you for the sacrifice you are making to try to improve the system for others. >> let me ask others if they would limit opening comments to two minutes. >> mr. chairman, very quickly, thank you for calling this hearing. though our flight safety record is still outstanding when we look at the total aviation services, the situation with the colgan flight is one that shook our bodies, minds. the plane took off from ne

if you're swinging well, that's what terry crowley's hitting drills are designed to, short to the ball >> rob: i think hitting and pitching are the same. they're over 90% mental. you put a guy in the seven hole and he relaxes a little more. >> jim p.: it's not like he's not hitting well with runners in scoring position. he just has not had as many opportunities as other orioles. >> jim h.: 2-2 on mora. >> jim p.: doesn't really matter if he's hitting 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8. he came in hitting .320 last night. >> rob: some guys don't want to hit 4th. some guys don't want to hit lead-off. >> jim h.: harris is there, backs up on it. has it for the out. one away. if you look at the three rbi leaders on the team, huff has 50, markakis 47, jones 44. all season long, those three hitters have hit just in front of melvin mora. so sometimes you get those base hits after the other guys clear the bases. >> jim p.: the orioles have done such a splendid job of doing that. huff's has had 63 chances, markakis 85, jones, of course he's had 54. the numbers, if you look at the first six, seven hitters in the or

it is just that today when we have a roll terry system of insurance where people choose, we have to collect information up front to underwrite and if we didn't have the process people would wait until they had a health condition before applying for coverage and the rates would be much, much, much higher than they are today. i chaired the group with ahip that put forth reform proposals and in our proposal we suggest the country should move towards a guarantee issue environment with no preexisting conditions being excluded, as long as everyone is required to participate. and if everyone participates and there is no need for rescission and price increase for those currently covered. >> you brought that up. what do you do with the segment of society that is not going to participated? i mean, there will be -- that segment of society will exist. whether it is this individuals, who are in the c i-country without the benefit of a social security number, whatever that number is, 10, 12 million, and people who don't comply. we live in a free country and don't like mandates and look at the people who

terry crowley. you can wait a little bit longer. obviously, you don't want to wait too long. think also his ability to hit the ball over the ballpark. >> gary: 3-2 count. runners at first and second base. reimold draws the walk! rodriguez comes on and surrenders the free pass. the 14th that he has given up in 31 innings wynn when compared to 33 strikeouts. orioles are going to get the potential tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning. nobody out. >> jim: wouldn't it be nice for matt wieters who hit his first home run or maybe get his first base hit with runners in scoring position and not a lot of at-bats to go by. is again, you were -- again, you're down 4-0 -- 4-0, you can tie it up or get back in the game. >> gary: matt wieters, bases load, nobody out. rodriguez fastball is in there for a strike. a leadoff single by mora, luke scott a sing and then the walk to reimold that loaded them up. the orioles trying to get back in it against the mets in the bottom -- bottom of the ninth. infield, double play depth. wieters will take it down low. good stop made by s
