compton is the type of inmate that men like stephen weaver despise.e made is clear on the camera provided by our producers. >> when i was a young kid if i told my brother i got beat for telling. we were taught in school at a young age don't be a tattle tale. nowadays they have cop shows on tv that teach these kids it's all right to tell. dial 1-800-snitch on mom and dad if they're smoking a joint on the weekend. >> though prison officials have not tied weaver to the recent assault or extortion, they have identified him as a high-ranking member of the aryan brotherhood. >> i can't get into specifics. but i'll tell you that we're strong white men. we're proud of that. >> we don't hate anybody else, but if you hit us, we hate you ten times worse. if you hurt one of us, we're going to hurt you ten times worse. >> active members rarely speak about their affiliation on camera. this time weaver made an exception. >> i lost a little bit of sleep over it. doing this interview. brothers don't normally get on camera. but i talked to a lot of my guys here. brothe

this week i'm so pleased to be joineded by sigourney weaver, a hollywood legend, transformed to television with a new usa political series, "political animals" a political drama making headlines with its look at the private struggles of famous american families. >> it's an honor to be here. >> there are so many examples of art imitating political life and here with "political animals" you're taking on such an interesting role. elaine, somebody you would actually support politically. >> i definitely would support elaine. she speaks from you know, she shoots straight, she's got a strong moral compass. i think we need many more elaines in washington. >> what drew you to the role? >> you know, the writing was wonderful. it was, the kind of story i'm not often offered. i wouldn't be surprised if i was offered you know, mountain woman in alaska or something. but to be offered this sort of mainstream, matriarch who was a first lady, is now secretary of state, who has this problematic family, two sons, an ex-husband, you know, foul-mouthed mother. it was really like after eating salad for a couple

the star of the new summer series, "political animals," sigourney weaver.at pleasure to see you. thanks for joining us. tell me, why did you want to do the series? what is it about this role and about doing a television series that was appealing to you? >> well, i think actually what you said just before i came on was a big part of it, that we need more women in washington and elaine barrish hammond is an example of a woman who is a passionate advocate for people, for the real concerns of people. she's direct, she's confident, she's unencumbered by a lot of the connections. you know, she's just very down-to-earth and i think very effective and i think women represent that kind of approach to politics. we're used to rolling up our sleeves and getting things done. and there's a little less game playing. i think that was part of the appeal was to try to portray that kind of feminine leadership in washington and also i think the chance to tell a story in the long cable form so you go back and forth between the halls of power in d.c. and the living rooms of thes

>> jon: please welcome back to the program sigourney weaver! (cheers and applause) >> jon: nice to see you again. >> nice to see you. >> jon: let me get straight if i can. >> uh-oh. >> jon: the woman who was married to the president, the president cheats on her, she herself runs for president, loses, now she has been appointed secretary of state by the person that she ran against. it's implausible. >> so implausible. (laughter) not in a million years can you come up with obama. so absurd. >> jon: were you thinking... oh, do you feel that you have to model it after hillary clinton or do you feel you have to actually go the other direction? >> you know, i have to say as soon as i started reading the first page i was so hooked on the character of elaine and on the family of the hammonds who i have to say are inspired perhaps in part by the clintons but also by the johnsons, also by the kennedys. it's about this fascinating family who were in the white house who were probably scarred by that experience in lots of different ways but who now dysfunct

steven weaver is one of those inmates. but weaver's reputation for violence began before he came to prison. >> i was a member of the outlaws motorcycle club at the time that i caught my cases. if you were just to look at it on paper, you would go [ bleep ] they should never let this guy out, you know? two counts of murder, started out with. a chain saw was involved with one of them. that's kind of bloody. >> weaver's violence on the outside landed him a 60-year sentence for murder. but in prison he attempted to kill again. the victim was his cellmate who he claimed was a child molester. weaver attacked him on christmas eve. >> when i was stabbing him, i was talking [ bleep ]. i said, you feel kind of vulnerable now, don't you? he's like, yeah. i said, maybe that little girl that you raped, think she might have felt this vulnerable? i said, "your life is in my hands now." i stabbed him several times, shallow enough to not kill him, i was hoping. once again, i was making a point. >> weaver is due to be released in 2027, than

weaver. >> chairman and ranking member. i'm dr. doug weaver. today i'm pleased to speak to you on behalf of the american college of cardiology. if the college can make one suggestion it would be create stability in the system. it is badly needed rite now. the current uncertainty around medicare physician payments, around the aca and its initiatives is seriously impeding progress by physicians and hospitals toward delivery and payment reforms. the college has had several decades of experience in developing and applying quality improvement tools including clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of common cardiac diseases. appropriate use criteria which allow physicians to better apply the right test and cardiac procedures. then a clinical registries in which physicians and hospitals can submit their data around cardiac procedures or whatever, they then get it back and are able to benchmark it against the whole nation as well as locally. we believe that broader use of these tools will improve quality, will produce better patient o

thank you for reading of the weavers. the question is secretary duncan and the secretaries before him have identified as one of the most major and intended consequences of no child left behind being the nearing of the curriculum so because the proficiency targets have shifted from a federal a yp4 mechanism not a state based do you think the unintended consequences for narrowing the curriculum because of its connection to the testing do think that improves the solution for addressing those consequences and do you think the state based advocacy group can address it more clearly as well now in their states'? >> that is without a doubt a prayer for the secretary. we have achieved and it is up to the advocates and the field is by taking some of the pressure of the tenet nature of the child left behind off of the system that it creates opportunities, and we see in some of the states they are being a little but a bold and different. and i mentioned it is actually building the arts into the account of the free market as an inspec

weaver? >> just a couple comments, and i think what you've heard from all of us this morning, as unfortunately these improvements are going to be iterative, they're going to take time. they are not going to be there on january 1st. i'll give you an example, though, of something that did happen on january 1st of this year in southeast michigan, and that is the larger employers changed patient deductibles from very modest numbers to $3 or $4,000 per person. i can tell you that the amount of health care these people are getting dropped dramatically. people's co-pays went up, they don't come to see their doctors, they decide when their going to -- when they're going to see the doctor, and unfortunately, i mean, it reduces costs a lot, reduces utilization a lot, but patients don't have the ability to know what is valued and what's not valued in their care. so they put off prevention. they put off things that ultimately are going to cost us all a lot more. but increasing co-pays, increasing deducti
