katherine weymoth is the publisher of the "the post." in fact, she recently talked about how technology is changing the newspaper business "the wall street journal" conference with ariane huffington. her grandmother was her mentor and led "the washington post" for more than two decades. she's been there since 1996 serving and several managing roles. she was named publisher and ceo in 2000 and eight. -- into a dozen date. she is also a mother to three young children. thank you for joining us. [applause] >> think you, rebecca, for that introduction. is -- the year with such a great group of women and i see a few select man who second. it is great to see you. it is great to be a part of the first gathering of this group. i want to tell you a little story. i was driving my 9-year-old daughter to school. she was playing on my iphone. i told her, when i was growing up, we did not have computers, e-mail, iphone, you name it. she said, "well, mom. it must have been hard growing up in the olden days.

the four major networks. that is just one issue of "washington post." while leadership is still strong in france, with our online site, we have a larger audience than ever. people who were never able to buy a printed edition of ""the washington post" can and do read our content on maundered in the month of may we had 10 million unique visitors to washington. washingtoncom 260 million pages of views and 90 percent of our traffic is outside of the area. people come to us because we are a trusted source of news and information focused on washington, which matters both to local community and the world. but our commitment has been and will remain to our local community. that is why our daily newspapers still have higher penetration among readers in the local area than any other major metropolitan newspaper and our web site is the no. 1 news site for the d.c. area. in short, our leadership is still strong overall and growing online. so, what's the problem? the problem is the economic model that has supported our business for many years. as far as the newspaper

the laredo veterans post office. as you see in laredo, you will see in that history virps have played an important role. the veterans of laredo, texas, have served in a very distinguished way in many of the wars that we had. many of them have sacrificed from world war i, world war ii, the vietnam war, korea and in other conflicts that we had up to the most latest war that we had. i think it's only appropriate that we name the post office which is in front of a plaza or it's also recognized as way that we recognized the veterans. it plays an -- it is in an appropriate place. i ask you to join me in support of h.r. 2325 where we name the laredo post office at 1300 matamoros after the brave men and women that we have in laredo to be named as the laredo veterans post office. at this time i yield back the balance of my time. thank you very much. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from california. mr. bilbray: i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlema

in the "washington post," prime minister brown is going to stay as the leader of britain. he reshuffled his cabinet. the financial times has this editorial. they write time runs out for depord on brown. >> san antonio, texas, john on the line for republicans. >> let me see if i can put it easy. no one in the country is complaining about the mess that the government make in tax dollars. no one complains about nothing congress does as far as taking money unto themselves. and they live quite well. these little companies like insurance companies who make money to pay, the people invest in their money and people return on the investment. people complain they shouldn't do this. we have the best healthcare industry in the world in america. why do people come here from england. they come here from canada. from australia, they come here. all over europe, come here. sure you have to pay for it. everything you have to pay for. get the government out of the way. this obituary for barker. >> i see a glaring need for two different issues. one healthcare reform. the other health insuranc

the only people left that have any potential for high in the journalism are the national papers or the post and the times. the chains have been eviscerated and they have made incredible profits. and yet what has happened is pure unencumbered raw capitalism is never the answer for anything that involves a public mission, not in the answer for american industry. if you look at the way wall street and its analysts and big money investors have played for the american industry's and have depreciated the actual mission of those industries and a to achieve profit, there'll be some in making money until the day they close the door of the baltimore sun and the san jose mercury and the denver post, so they will figure it out to make a profit to the very day they decide to close the doors but they will be doing less and less journalism. and that would be my critique is that we did this to ourselves and so when the internet came along all of the r and d money, all of the research and development of sublicense and '80s and '90s so that we knew what the internet was and what is potential was and we have

from inside "the new york post" -- they reprint his remarks. he said, "there's nothing i can do, but i will live with this pain for the rest of my life. i apologize to my victims. i am sorry. i know that does not help you, your honor. thank you for listening." caller: my question is -- reggie walton is report about the sexual abuse in prison, i am concerned about the number of rapes being reported. a lot of the men that are being raped, some of them are being infected with hiv and aids. when they come out of the prison, they are sleeping with these different women. host: that is one of the points that he mentioned. 95% of those incarcerated in u.s. prisons ultimately leave jail in move back into society. caller: this is a big problem. what will the of administration do to try to curb this? the african american community, especially the black women, are being infected with this. i am not infected, thank god, but there are so many that are. as far as the hon darhondurans e concerned, how will that affect the illegal immigrants here? host: we did i

changing at "the washington post." >> hello. with the elimination of the business section in "the washington post" we now have two or three pages if we're lucky of business coverage. one, what does that say about respectful business in this town that is devoted to government? and two, is the expectation that we will not see business news, by and large, from your newspaper but we will get it from "the journal." >> we did not eliminate the business content, we eliminated the stock tables which most newspapers had already eliminated. we waited to do that because we knew that their readers to still cared about every week -- when we eliminated the tables, we needed to put the rest of the pages and another section. we decided to put them in maine news because business is such a part of the main news. it is a government town, but there are also a lot of stories about local business, the economy. we felt like it was a natural fit to be in the main section. we got very little outcry about it. we got a letter then the president of the wash

i have lived here all my life and always read "the washington post." thank you for that. i am wondering how you can give us the express newspaper and the metro -- please cannot take away -- as you address -- adjust the business model, how does it work? >> we will not take away. express has a loyal audience and it has been a great product for us. it sustains itself. but we run it as a separate business within our business. we set it up as a way -- it is designed to be a 20-minute raid. it is free. a lot of wire stories but stories we feel are good and worthwhile. it has brought us both new readers and new advertisers. so, i think at first people were worried it would cannibalize our audience, but we have not seen that. it has been a great and we will keep it around. thank you. >> thank you very much for joining us this morning. [applause] >> today president obama addressed the american medical association's annual conference about his health care plans. we will show you that speech in its entirety litter this evening on the c-span network. next, a portion of his remarks. >>

there is an editorial in site "the washington post" called "no laughing matter, why the u.s. needs to get serious now about the long-term budget deficits. we will get your phone calls on this issue as well. 202-737-0001 on our line for republicans. 202-737-0002 if you are a democrat. and if you are an independent, 202-628-0205. among the front page stories in "the new york times," traveling with the president. we will talk about what came from the news conference with president obama and german chancellor angela merkel this morning. from "the new york times," the editorial points out that is neither surprising nor irreversibly dangerous that the total federal debt held by the -- held by the public looks as if 57% of gross domestic product by the end of fiscal year 2009, well above the previous four decades average of 40%. what is more alarming is that barring any major spending cuts or tax increases, president obama's budget could drive that figure to 82% by the year 2019, that according to the congressional budget office. let's hear from jerry on the issue of the deficit and

host: how long have you been at the post office? caller: 59 years. host: polls show increasing public opposition to government spending and with no significant constituency, the prospects for further stimulus legislation seem slim. he writes that president obama tersely it acknowledged in an interview with bloomberg television last week that unemployment is likely to be about 10%. mobile, alabama, good morning. caller: [unintelligible] if you would replay that clip that rahm emanuel said, he said most of the jobs would not go to white males. another thing, when they did the bailout of gm there were first talking about how many thousands of jobs would be lost if gm went under once the close all those plants -- [inaudible] host: 2 clinton, maine on the independent line. caller: i am concerned the economic stimulus package was named improperly -- is should have been economic investment package. if america spends precious resources on one-time projects -- and the ones i have seen locally are good ones which have been in the pipeline for a while. but as so

the play by play. rick and i are back with extra post game. orioles and mets, rubber gamet 3, and coming up here, it's a beautiful night for baseball, enjoy the game, everybody, gay and jim are next. we'll see you on the post game show. 

he is the national editor @ "the huffington post." thank you for joining us. you have a piece today. obama will restore the u.s. ambassador to syria. you read about returning a u.s. envoy to damascus. you say the president is working to rehabilitate relations with the islamic world. why is this? guest: just after the former lebanese president was assassinated in 2005 the bush administration withdrew the ambassador in damascus. there was a suspicion that intelligence was behind the killing and it was an act of protest. since then it the u.s. has had virtually no contact with the syrians. as president obama has reached out to the islamic world, for example in cairo with his speech, they have called for greater engagement with the arab middle east in particular. this is a step in that direction. host: president obama spoke yesterday about the situation and iran, seeming to take a different tone. what went into the shift? guest: there are couple of things to note. he has slowly reted it up his language about the while and he sees on the street. substantively, howev

will see the washington post st. louis in addition, the "the new york times, denver edition. they will hire 10 or culpable to create an advanced usa today version of a local, zoned paper. they will give you a couple pages of the local metro coverage. because they are offering you the times or the post, international coverage, and because and get that online for free, and reach a new accommodation with reuters, you are going to see a modern version of the zoned editions replace what we are previously full blooded metro daily newspapers. that is the worst-case scenario. i would rather see local papers try for this model sooner rather than later. i don't know if that is going to happen. i think journalism has a value, a value that will eventually be store itself. you are going to eventually see somebody do start up's. state are going to pay for it with online subscription. in my whole time as a journalist, you lost money on subscriptions. he lost money. you accepted that and you got it on your display ads. that made. if

it is an op ed in the washington post. the author is from the brookings institution. it refers specifically to detention policy. on september, soon after 9/11 attacks the bush administration face a choice about terrorist detainee's commission to get congress on board or should it go alone? president bush bypass the legislature for seven years, based u.s. detention policy on his own constitutional authority. working with congress would be hard, the administration officials reasoned. the legislature might constrain executive flexibility in the president had powerful arguments that he did not need additional legislative support. that is worthy editorial begins. we will read more of it in just a moment. the issue is between the approach of the bush administration and the executive authority for that of fdr's administration and working through the legislation. the supreme court is wrapping up its session. the ap is reporting, wrapping up the session with several decisions expected today in three final cases, including a closely-watched discrimination lawsuit by white firef

host: we want to welcome ceci connolly from the "washington post." what is the issue like in washington? what has the president proposed? what is likely to happen with congress over the summer? guest: this was a big topic in the last campaign. president obama came in and said it was his top domestic priority and that he wants to get something done this year. taking a lesson from the clinton experience of 16 years ago, president obama and his team are not writing legislation. he has laid out eight principles. they are fairly broad. he wants to get on a path to covering every american. as importantly, he wants to control the out-of-control rate of spending going on right now in health care. he wants to improve its quality. they're big things that just about everybody can agree on in principle. most of the action is on capitol hill. on the most part, it is in the democratic caucuses of a few key committees. the senate finance committee is the key one. they are working hard. we expect to see a build from them within the next few weeks. on the house side,

"the washington post" is focusing on the crash for the red line.he trend upper used breaks in a failed attempt to stop the six- car train. in this paper, the recession generation. those just starting find it in game changer, how young people are bracing for a lower standard of living. "the philadelphia inquirer" talks about obama assailing the iran correct them. for now the conversation is about a public auction in health care. the next call comes from the independent line in florida. caller: i would first like to comment on health care. as an insurance person i knew they do not charge willy nilly. the state's control what they can charge and they look at the experience. you cannot control experience. the thing that drives up the premiums in one place and keeps the premiums low and another is the indigent care hospitals have to give, and then bill back to the insurance companies who pay for people that can pay. the load it is as high as 750% in some places like brooklyn, new york where i practiced for a long time. they load the rate, they take the

i think the "washington post" editorial may be simply that my colleague made last night. that is, it's way too early for the supreme court to jump in and get involved in this litigation. it is too early to use this as an occasion to announce a new test. a test that had never been invented before. there was a feeling that it was very premature. is really would have been better for everyone concerned if the court had done what they usually do when they announce a brand new rule, which is remanded back to the courts. ok, we have created a new standard. now look at it again and apply the new standard. that did not happen. that is one of the things that justice ruth spader against rick -- bader ginsburg was upset about. host: let me read to you a part of what "the washington post" said this morning. host: w so? guest: there's a feeling that the white firefighters and the one latino who brought the title 7. did not have the ability to make a claim that they had been harmed. they need to be a will to say that because you threw out the test results, we did not get something. what

it can only be used by the post office. so they do have a competitive advantage. they're the only one with access to your mailbox where there's a public insurer, all companies public and private will have equal access to your mailbox and to your business. which leads to another point. nothing -- this is something i think that is used as a scare -- it has to be a scare tactic since it's so far from the truth that there's no other reason for it. nothing in the bills being considered in congress right now or suggested by president obama will require that anyone choose the public provider. you get -- if you love blue cross or united healthcare or you love cigna you can stay with that. there is no reason why you would have to change. honestly, if i was in the middle of chemotherapy, the idea changing anything that seemed to be working for me might scare me. you don't need to be afraid of the public provider. anybody can choose it and anyone can say, i don't want it. our choices don't get smaller. our choices get larger at least by one. and once more, if the market works

and then on top of that we have the largest recession in the post-war period in '81 and 82 and 74 and 75 were very large recessions. and we were extremely concerned about disinflationary fourses and the financial dischris that came with everything. and so i thought it was entirely appropriate to provide as much stimulus as we could. we did that on the monetary policy side. we have done a tremendous number of innovative programs which is taking us to the boundary of our authorities. it's been very uncomfortable for everyone involved, but it seemed like the appropriate thing to do. and it has opened up other issues and we have somewhat willingly walked into the opening of those issues for the good of putting the economy on the best possible footing in these circumstances. and so the fiscal stimulus was another important part of that. we could all talk about various elements of all of these programs. no one will agree on everything, but the size of the program i thought was very important. and so that just add to all of the challenges. but the challenges remain. and they need to be dealt

this morning, front-page of "the washington post," an in-depth story by cc connolly, decision makers differ on how to mend broken health system. nowhere else in the world is so much money spent with such poor results. on that point there is rare unanimity among washington decision makers, the u.s. health system needs a major overhaul. researchers have documented the inequities, shortcomings, the waist, and dangers in a hodgepodge of the accord needed medical services that consume nearly 1/5 of the u.s. economy. exorbitant medical bills thrust families into bankruptcy, ending global competitiveness of companies, and threaten the government's long-term solvency." that this morning from "the washinton post." and this figure, back in 1960, and curtains of current dollars, how much we spend on -- in terms of current dollars, how much we spend on national health expenditures. it was $200 billion in 1960, $2.30 trillion today. joining us from baltimore, good morning, and democrats alike. caller: good morning. i am currently fine with my health care because i go to dental school so i was able

how well do they run the post office? y place where there is a private provider competing against government providers, if there are not huge government subsidies, what do customers pick? we do not want the government running the car companies. the notion of a private car company or a government car company and customers picking the government car company, nobody would hesitate on that choice. here we have the government going in and deciding that insurance companies are bad sometimes. there will be a government entity where there will be no competition. they will be moving very quickly to a single payer plan. there will not be competition between providers anymore. if somebody messes it up for they do not figure out what the right type of surgery is, those insurance companies face competitive pressures and go out of business. we will not have that with the government doing this. host: what about raising the cap spun social security? -- what about raising the caps on social security? guest: wealthy people already pay much

guest: i think during the post-9/11 era, the closer we wrp to that very cat clizzic event in our history was the most tightening in terms of the past decade. that's when you saw protesters being arrested at the 2004 convention, you saw arab-americans being detained and questioned. so i think that actually the further we got away from 9/11, the more maybe people began to relax. although i sting think what the obama administration, this idea of not using the torture photos and other decisions that have come down are not pro-free speech decisions. host: have you heard anyone from the documentary world about your documentary? guest: i think we're anticipating, i think this film no matter what part of the political spectrum you sit on, will make people's blood boil. there's a lot that's in there that people don't like right and left. and that's the thing about free speech. the thing about free speech is that sometimes it's a bummer. it auvends you. my father, a jewish man, was out talking about the nazi's right to march in scoki. his father, a hollow cost survivor, was appalled. these are que

the "washington post" this morning. it's off lead story by paul cane, the headline, lawmakers reveal health care investments. the ties between those crafting legislation concerned health care and financial investments they have. senator majority leader harry reed has at least $50,000 vested in health care index. the republican from new hampshire has between $244,000 and $500 in major health care companies. the family of representative jane har man. senior member of the congress committee drefting the lens. 3 point 2,000,000 more than more than 20 health care companies at the last year. while no congressional rules barred none from financial rules from what they regulate. experts say it often reflects conflict of interest particularly if there is a chance the legislation could result in personal financial boost. there's a complete story inside the "washington post" and a graphic you can follow as well. you can go to that at "washington post".com. again we have open phones this morning. chicago, illinois. democrats line. j

he didn't defend the paint well, didn't play the post-up well or the peacekeeper-and-roll. getting the ball early in transition. the players have to make what we call california as coaches on time, on target passes. when he's open, get him the ball on time. don't throw it at his ankles, don't throw it above his head. get it to him on time and on target. in the half court he has to do a better job, dwight howard, at attacking the double teams quicker. they're bringing double team sometimes from the talk, sometimes from the baseline. he's waiting too long. sometimes you have to attack them before they get their double team set. >> coach, nba fanls, you don't want to call this game a must win. some people say the magic need to win game number to. who are you picking in los angeles and why? >> i'm picking the lakers. because, again, just as much as orlando magic was a bad matchup for the cleveland cavaliers, the lakers are a bad matchup for them. they can go big, they can go small, phil jackson has a lot of options and versatility with this lineup. and the one thing that the la

host: "the denver post" has the situation on the front page.lso from the arizona "republic," police in iran, clashing in the streets. caller: happy souls this. host: happy father's day. caller: this is an important day for the iranian people. we elected a ourselves a new president. if we could do something as remarkable as what we did, they have the courage to try themselves. i hope they can do something in an orderly fashion. i do not hear a particular set of demands. i do not think that they just want to tell things apart. talk to you later. thanks. host: "keep dick cheney away from this before he starts another war." that is another twitter message. "this is a stark contrast from ray and's starring challenge," by oliver north. "clearly articulated course of action that began in the opening days of his administration. despite near unanimous opposition from the so-called mainstream media, he was always clear about what he thought would be best for our country. after last sunday's fatally flawed directions in iran, "i cannot state definitively

the presidential elections are not for the most powerful post. e most powerful post is held by the leader. he will be the major arbitral in this situation. it is correctly believed that ahamani essentially selected mahmoud ahmadinejad as president. he's not exactly an objective arbitrator in this situation. the opposition is trying to appeal to him first. saying this is a fraud. people will rise up. we need a recount or cancel the elections and start a new. he has rejected, renewed to meet with -- refused to meet with them. i think if he continues to refuse to meet, it will be an impasse. they may implore people to go to the streets and strike. the reform ants have been reluctant to do that. they put the security of the islamic regime above all else. we have reached an issue that is with the leads so divided. host: if he comes out and said it is over with ahmadinejad is the winner, how much more resistance can the reformists put up and how much more will ahanini put up with? guest: he did come out and say that ahmadinejad won. the security forces

from the style section of "the washinton post," this is the first sentence in the piece from two washington post staff writers. "wow, was that a press conference or was that a press conference?" here is the comments from the republican senator, john ensign, from nevada. >> last year i had an affair. i violated the vows of my marriage. it is absolutely the worst thing that i have ever done in my life. if there was ever anything that i could take back in my life, this would be it. i take full responsibility for my actions. i know that i have deeply hurt and disappointed my wife, darlene, my children, my family, friends, my staff, and all those who believed in me. and to all of them, especially my wife, i am truly sorry. i will not mention any names, but the woman who i was involved with and her husband were both close friends, and they both worked for me. our families were very close. that closeness put me into situations during a very difficult time in my marriage which led to my inappropriate behavior. we caused deep pain to both families. for that i am truly sorry. i am committed to my ser

the "washington post" recognizes this as well. in an editorial this morning it said, "it is quite likely that any legislation that emergers es will great a hugely -- with no guarantee of the upward spiral costs being slowed." the "post" also said given the national debt already growing out of control and the risk of health care costs won't be controlled, you may worry about taking on a new burden, $1.6 trillion over ten years. i think that's exactly right. that's what makes people anxious about what they hear coming out of washington in the name of health care reform. so, i think it's fair to say that the spend more to save more thinking is what resulted in the wasteful and counterproductive stimulus bill that was passed earlier this year. a bill that we got on our desks, the conference report at 11:00 on a thursday night and we were required to vote on it less than 24 hours later when virtually no one had had a chance to even read it. now, i was comfort able with that vote, because i voted against it -- for many reasons, but one o

kilcullen is interviewed by "the washington post" david ignatius. the event hosted by the center for a new american security in washington, d.c. is one hour and 15 minutes. [inaudible conversations] >> good evening, everyone. i'm john, the president for the center of new american security and it's a great honor to welcome all of you to what promises to be exported during evening of discussion about the most important issues facing america today. the counter insurgency campaigns in iraq, afghanistan and the global counter insurgency against al qaeda. and we couldn't have a better pair of thinkers to light to guide us through these minefields. david ignatius is a columnist and associate at the "washington post" where he writes on global politics, economics and international affairs. his award winning column appears on thursdays and sundays. david is also the creator and moderator of post global and online conversation about international affairs at "washington post" donner, which shows he knows where the newspaper industry is heading. david is particul

the "washington post" is saying we'll hire you if the "washington post" offers you a buy you the. the people who took the first buyouts from the "baltimore sun" had options. there were good people who really wanted to stay because they were committed because their kids were in school. but by and large when you go with layoffs instead of buyouts you're saying we want to take the most expensive reporters, the ones with the most benefits, the ones who are making the most money. all we care about is the bottom line. we know what's going to happen is the buy you the ranks are going to be filled with the people who are the best people, who have other options. but we want buyouts, not layoffs. that tells you what was going on back in chicago and l.a. and everywhere else. they just didn't give a damn about the product. all they cared about was that 5%, 10%, 15%, not enough, got to make 30, 35, 37.5%. it was shameful. we destroyed ourself. >> one member of the audience asked "given how badly the big media outlets performed on huge stories with a ton of resource like the iraq war, why shoul

because the term post-claims underwriting is an oxymoron. insurance companies are structured into different departments. they have an underwriting department and a claims department. and the underwriting department is supposed to do pre-issuance risk assessment to determine whether an individual policy is worth the company investing in that person. as a health care risk. the claims department is designed to respond to requests for coverage after a policy has been issued. so the very theory we're here to talk about today isn't even supposed to exist in a rational health care delivery system. and it wouldn't exist if we had a rational health care delivery system. but when you read news stories where the ceo of one private health insurance company is sitting on stockptions valued at $1.6 billion, it shouldn't come as a shock to any of us that we're sitting here today hearing these horror stories of patients who have been caught up in an inefficient, unsustainable private health insurance delivery system. and ms. raddatz, i wish every claims exam

look here on the post-up. that's a contested shot, ladies and gentlemen, but as a shooter, as a scorer, you still have to keep your eyes on the basket regardless of who is cheering, who is booing, who is contesting the shot, whether your defender is 6'7", whether your defender is 6'10". look at this. this is a fallaway jumper from 18 feet. mickael pietrus goes to the huddle and says, "coach, i contested the shot." he says, "put your hand up, you've got to play better defense," he says, "i did, coach" then you watch the film and marvel at the greatness of this player who finds a way to get player who finds a way to get it done regardless of the defense. >> when you look at the cuts they showed us you only see one hand. they need to do what the denver nuggets did, send two or three people so there are two or three hands in his face. he took more shots last night, 34, than he did in the last two games of the denver series combined. kobe recognized what the denver defense was doing. he had to pass the ball. from th

. >> i think there's a qualitative difference between obviously the post-revolutionary period in that the appeal -- iran's ideology that it's trying to sell is a mix of rejectionism, it can arguably be called pan arabism. in fact there's an interesting quote from abofficial in hezbollah which said iran's foreign policy is essentially sunni because iran has essentially co-opted or taken over a number of traditionally pan-arab concerns, and i think this is an interesting dynamic. it's no longer the export of, of pure revolutionary shihaism but it's this blend of rejectionism that sells very well when it's compared contrasted with the hesitation and caution of arab regimes. another dynamic that we've found in the region looking at threat perceptions of iran was this sent that -- sense that iran was trying to promote pluralism and sort of the fragmentation of the, of the arab state system promoting identity politics in saudi arabia. and this is very interesting, the iranians are so concerned about it within their own borders and yet you find abroad, and i think ali can speak to this, the

got some help from the post. but nonetheless, howard was a monster in this one. puts his shirt back on, and he has some work there. now it's spain once again in the box, shooting on howard. but howard like a magnet to that ball. tim, if you came to the tim howard show, starring tim howard a. there he is again. snatching that ball right on out of the air. but spain knocks down another shot, another save by howard. we're not done, 1-0. tim howard. donovan, centering pass. and dempsey scores the goal. clint dempsey, check it out in the espn all access. spin this whole thing around. i'm not sure why donovan didn't shoot there. instead of going one on one with the goalie. he goes one on five against spain. but somehow this ball gets through like five guys, and dempsey scores his second goal in two games. he keeps his clothes on. slidesey into the grass. and now we have a red card. michael bradley for a tackle. the u.s. with ten men, could they hold on? the answer was yes because of one guy. tim howard. team usa holds on to beat spain. they'll meet brazil in the finals.

this is from the washington post." >> last year i had an affair. i violated the vows of my marriage. is the worst thing i have ever done in my life. if there was ever anything that i could take back in my life, this would be it. i take full responsibility for my actions. i know that i have deeply hurt and disappointed by what, darlene, my children, my family, friends, my staff, and all of those who believed in me. and to all of them, but especially my wife, i am truly sorry. i will not mention any names. but the woman i was involved with, and her husband, were both close friends and they both worked for me. our families were very close. that slows this put me in to situations during a very difficult time in my marriage which led to mike inappropriate behavior. we caused the pain to both families. for that, i am truly sorry. i am committed to my service in the united states said and my work on behalf of the people of nevada. host: and "the post" writes that the news was the latest setback for a party that suffered losses of at least 13 senate seats i

game shows, i guess the post game show, will be on masn ii. that's going to break. again, we don't want you confused. there are different pre-and post game shows for the nationals and orioles next weekend, and the nationals will be on masn2. all right, you got it. jim palmer will be there to team up. we've got a pretty good starter and closer in the booth. third inning in a row the nats have had two men on base. romero is doing nothing to put washington away in this game. gonzalez a base hit off the glove of scott rolen first time. one ball and one strike. >> i'd like to see alberto get a gap shot here and see if austin kearns can catch adam dunn by the time he reaches home plate. >> austin can run for a big man. overbay's playing behind him. atlanta got two in the first and red sox answered with three. david ortiz, the 6th homer of the year. check on some of the other games involving our division, including the mets who now lead 2-0 over tampa bay, and gregg dobbs a homer for the phillies leading baltimore at home 1- 04th inning. marlins hosti

really evident right off the bat, number one, they're not able to get the ball to dwight howard in the post. you got to let superman shine, and they have not been able to allow him to do his thing. he's been totally out of his element the entire series because they can't get the ball to him in the paint. number two, turnovers. 19 turnovers yesterday, 20 two games ago. you just can't win a championship turning the ball over that much, and last but not least, free throws. dwight howard misses eight free throws last night and you're up by three. 11 seconds left. as long as you make one, it doesn't matter if derek fisher hits a three pointer, and you still got the ball with a few seconds left. game is yours. series is tied up at 2-2. i have to really disagree with stan van gundy. he came out post-game press conference and said veteran leadership and experimenting, being on this stage, in an nba championship game, knowing how to really... that jugular is exposed, they're up by 12 at the half. seven with a few minutes left in the game. you have to go for it. this orlando magic team has not been a

guest: the huffington post as the following this very carefully. a lot of that is using twitter beats, something which we did not have a few years ago. it is reliance on people from the inside who perhaps are not sources you would normally go to. host:neko pitney came into quite a bit of criticism. guest: he used to be my deputy but i think what you say is a little anxious over the fact that journalism is shifting and we have new players at the table who represent a huge audience. by virtue of that, they have a seat of the table because of demanding information from the administration to convey to its readers. many in the elite society of journalism woodfield at the table should be small enough to accommodate only them and they are feeling that the rules of the game are changing to hinder their efforts. they do not feel very good about it. host: some of that act was on display at the press conference the day after and robert gibbs' response. >> i have a procedural question -- what led to your decision to plant a designated hitter to ask the preside

host: in "the washington post" in the world section, iran's stealing chief cleric. why haven't we seen more of i iotola commentinayatollah comme? >> we are seeing him taking issue. this is how he survived. probably most of you may know the way he became the supreme leader. he did not have the proper qualification or credentials to be an iotola. essentially, the person who was going to take over, the founder of the islamic state, he was basically pushed out and has been under house arrest for 30 years now. they decided to ratify the constitution to allow for ayatollah khameni to have that position. ahmadinejad is one of the people who elevate khameni to that position. the way he has survived, having all the insecurities is to say, as i said, above the fray and out of the personal conflicts and essentially, once in a while, if it becomes an issue come out and install some of them yourself. host: up next, the first of two calls from chicago. this is gloria on the line for democrats. welcome to "washington journal." caller: good morning. this is my second time calling.

here is a line from "the washington post." d says the sniping among liberals might jeopardize votes needed to pass the bill. in the high-stakes battle, a growing cadre of liberal activists is aiming its sharpest firepower against democratic senators who they accused of being insufficiently committed to the cause. the tax branch from toward news releases to full-fledged advertising campaigns. they have elicited rebuttals from lawmakers and sparked a debate inside the party. that is the lead story there. we want to tell you about our newsmaker program today as congressman from indiana is on. it will be at 10:00 a.m. today and again at 6:00 p.m. on this network. he is the house republican conference chairman the talks about health care and other issues. >> republicans have been championing public performer over private health care insurance program for as many years as i have been in congress. health savings accounts where individuals and businesses could purchase a high deductible policies, create a fund for their first dollar be

she sinks to the ground and minutes later she is dead. a video that has been repeatedly posted on the internet shows the last moments of a young iranian woman shot in the heart by government sharpshooters. overnight, she has become a symbol -- symbol of the opposition. blurry images of a woman who collapses on the pavement and a pool of blood expands under her body. it two men kneel on her chest screaming. the cameraman zoom in -- zooms in on her face. her eyes roll to the side and the bloodstream's out of her nose and mouth. do not be afraid. stay with me, stay with me cries at one man. another man beseeches someone to take her in a car. the footage stops. the video footage appeared on facebook and twitter on saturday evening. it immediately became a viral sensation, being forwarded repeatedly. user groups were determined to get around youtube's attempts to block the film. it became impossible for youtube to remove it. mr. president, we have seen, as in cases of other brutal suppression throughout history, a living example or the dying example of martyrdom. by sunday morning,

," "usa today," the new york post, the new york daily news, just to make a few. his book "how philip morris burned ted kennedy and the antitobacco movement," this is no fan of tobacco. this is a guy that's calling balls and strikes. he's one person that's more concerned about the public health in this country and making sure that what we do accomplishes good public health policy that he's willing to be outspoken. he goes on in his book and he says "the process of validating new, reduced risk products appears to be designed to prevent such products from ever reaching the marketplace, thus giving smokers the start and for man the impossible choice of quit or die." you might remember that part. we can now call the continuum of risk "quit or die." rather than making smoking safer for those who continue to smoke, it will deny smokers access to new products that might literally save their lives. that is hardly a sterling prescription for good public health. if the objective is public health, h.r. 125 smalls way short. even if the idea of f.d.a. regulation were good in

host: that host: is from the washington post this morning. -- that is from "the washington post" this evening. there will be an apple event this weekend. mortgage rates hit a six-month high. the piece points out that rates have risen to the highest levels in six months. it is threatening to the late housing turnaround by discouraging potential homebuyers. the issue this morning is unemployment. it is at 9.4%. robert is up from new york city on the democrats' line. caller: thank you so much for having me on. it is surprising that they are showing 9.4% in terms of the rate of unemployment. the line directly beneath that says that it is the most in 25 years. i had an opportunity to work with an organization hiring individuals for customer service representatives. it over the last few months, we have seen an enormous amount of individuals applying for this particular job. my question to yourself and the viewers is this. even though we are showing 345,000 in terms of job loss, what type of hiring have we had? are there any indications that there are jobs being created? if you take the numb

finally, the most respected medical journal in the world, i would argue, "the lancet" has posted its survival rates. americans are much more concerned about lowering the cost of their insurance even more than expanding coverage for anybody -- for everybody. will you live or die, given the health insurance system that is present? they studied cancer survival rates across all european countries, canada and the united states. what it said was, you are much more likely to live in the united states through cancer than in canada or that you -- the eu. we do not want to harm the record, because if you get better results from your oncologist in your fighting cancer, then you're more likely to live in the united states than in other countries. other folks have been looking at it as a model for the united states could go. >> good morning, i'm lynn jenkins from the great state of kansas. health care is not just a policy issue for me. as a daughter of aging parents and a mother of two children, i have spent a fair amount of time in dr.'s offices and emergency rooms in recent years. when it comes
