we've seen positive signs of green chutes, but there's some wonder whethering they'll wither away with continuing problems in the housing sector and consumer debt remaining high and significant deleveraging occurring in the financial sector and lingering question about the solvency of banks. are we seeing a dead-cat bounce in the markets? economic and financial experts are telling us that economic recovery cannot occur until we've addressed the root cause, the credit crisis and that's what t.a.r.p. was supposed to do, but it got out on the wrong foot last fall, in my view, and it's still there and president obama told us in january we can't have a recovery until we get the toxic assets out. this is the -- these are questions i want to follow up with. the size of the stimulus also is now causing questions from the federal reserve if we get in a position of monetizing our debt, we will face an unprecedented disaster an got way, perhaps of argentina and tripling the debt in ten years seems to me to be a risky approach. we've seen the united kingdom which was recently warned about its cred

i had only 12 species, not withers 95 procter one night's work i gave my posters to the world on the 15th. all of my efforts on the more organized protest by helped to deflate that went in my weekends letter to my brother it made for a longer storey than usual and the next letter home he said he had enjoyed it but my father said why don't you send it to "national review"? no one in my family knew anything about journalism. we knew william f. buckley, jr. from television and we had been subscribing to his magazines for happier maybe that is enough. i took it dear bob off of the beginning of my letter added a conclusion and assented away. months past without a word from "national review" play assumed they have not like to the submission and have thrown away and this was standard procedure in journalism. then after the new year i got a letter from the assistant managing editor. dear mr. mr. brookhiser please forgive our slowness in dealing with your manuscript is somehow got buried on my desk. this i would learn is actually standard procedure in journalism.

we have seen some green shoots, but there are some wondering whether those will wither away. consumer debt is remaining high , significant leverage is happening, and the lingering questions about the solvency of banks. are we seeing a dead cat bounce in the markets? economic recovery occur or be sustained and so we just the root cause of the crisis -- until we adjusted the root cause of the crisis. president obama told us in january that we cannot have a recovery until we get the toxic assets out. these are questions i want to follow up with. of the size of the stimulus is now causing questions from the federal reserve. if we get into the position of monetizing our debt, we are faced with an unprecedented disaster and tripling the debt in 10 years seems to me to be a very risky approach. we have seen united kingdom which was recently warned about its credit rating. perhaps that is the canary in the coal mine for nations in the future. thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. secretary, the floor is yours. >> members of the committee, it is a pleasure to be in front of you today. i wou

it's withered away.if you stay around the plate with your glove or body, the catcher, maybe the umpire will get you a few more calls. >> gary: so, -- >> bob: so, pitchers make adjustments, hitters make adjustments and so do catchers. >> rob: well, bob boone caught 225 games in his career third on the all-time list that rodriguezhas passed carlton fisk. >> bob: jammed on. here is our interleague updays. american league won 67, national league 58. so, national league picked up four wins more than the american league did yesterday thanks in part to the nats. and a breaking ball popped up straight back. interleague numbers, american league 46 more home runs, e.r.a. better. look at that. national league has a better average with the dh's. >> rob: they're liking that dh. whoo-hoo. >> bob: for a change, the national league pitchers are outhitting the american league guys. i was getting tired of seeing those guys outhit our guys. rolen drives it to center. right there is willie harris. he deserves an easy play a

i think congress will have to revisit that issue or this program will wither on the vine and we won't have meaningful tobacco regulation, and we can't let that happen. this bill does contain three really important provisions that i thought for. that's increased fines on tobacco companies, larger color graphic warning labels, and some reporting to congress on how the program is going. and i'd like to talk about each of these for a moment. we know from decades of experience that the tobacco companies are not inclined to follow the law. they do not have a history of being forthcoming with the health information in their possession. just two weeks ago, the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia found that the tobacco companies were guilty of -- quote -- "a decades-long conspiracy to deceive the american public about the health effects and addictiveness of smoking cigarettes." i'm pleased i was able to add a measure to that bill that increased civil penalties for violations of the new law and sends a strong message that we're serious about expecting compliance from the

scott withers, a former weapons inspokor for the u.n. said the united states was becoming a military culture so i always won decide if this no child left behind was a strategy to deliberately cause more students to fail so that their only job option would be to join the military? we have army and marine recruiters that go to high school and show videos of actual combat and those virtual reality war games that he candidates play in order to entice them to join the military. so my question is, am i that far off base to suspect a link between our pentagon and a government plan to funnel more failed students into the military. >> host: at the very much in fact in race course, monday dohrn and mr. ayers discuss the issue of the militarization -- what the call the militarization of u.s. schools. if you would like to respond to her comments. >> guest: well, i think -- i'm going link her comments with one that came before her. i think that we need universal service but it doesn't have to be all military. it accountant only a military option. we

hanley ramirez is the leading hitter in the national league run withers in scoring position.@hird. >> buck: that average is elevated in this situation with the infield drawn in. you really limit the infield arrests range. i understand the strategies eadown by two. >> jim: there's a strike. good pitch opt hitting with runners in scoring position, you play the infield back, he'll play pepper with the middle infielders and pickup the rbi. now you have to force him to hit a base hit or hit one to the outfield. >> jim: off the glove of hill through the middle into center field there's a base hit. coghlan scores. 3-0, florida. ramirez comes through again driving in frthird his 43rd rbi. it's 3-0. florida. >> buck: he stays up the middle in this situation. watch how he keeps his hands inside the baseball not thinkiut too much baseball. he really kiofjammed onside fastball because he's got a good approach here atúúúúúth ppp hnkigúaoteeiñg8txe8ball he g part of the field, pp @oóglove into center. brian roberts couldn't knock it down. it wasn't that sharply hit, but

families and also get back on the training field and get back core competencies that have started to wither over time. >> do you see the latest uptick in violence in iraq as a temporary rise prior to the june withdrawal from the cities or does it represent a resurgence in sectorian -- sectarian strife? >> that glass is half full. for that reason, i do believe in the iraqi security forces. every indication as i visit and from our commanders in the field is that they are better with each passing month. i think that there is a residual presence, of course, in iraq on the part of al qaeda. i think they're trying to get back where they were in some places, get back to the former strength they had between themselves and what we would call the sunni nationalists, if you will, the people who fought against our presence there. but i think the country is tired of fighting. it's a country that's got a tremendous future bunce they get past the nonsense. i had a professor tell me one time a successful nation needs five things, aeroable land, a fresh water supply, intelligent population, exportable produ

whatever hopes mark sanford had to become president withered during his mysterious absence and died altogether during wednesday's explosive news conference, according to political observers. also the, stanford has much to do to make amends for deceit. the editorial said legislatures do share part of the blame for the disintegrated relationship but their complaints that mr. sanford refuses to work with them and uses them as a whipping boy is legitimate as well. editorial does point out there are many in the state calling for mark sanford to resign. they are saying right now that are not ready to go to that point. this story, according to the editorial, is still unraveling. carol is joining us from charleston, south carolina. good morning. caller: good morning. one of the things that concerns me about what is going on with governor's sanford -- gov. sanford is not about his moral -- but he holds other people and his self high in terms of morality. when it issues that he had with accepting the stimulus funds was the fact that he did not find that it was morally correct. he has people in south car
