you bet we will, and this bill will do it. will we pay a stamp to give our grandkids a future of an environment that will not destroy their health? you bet we will. will we pay a stamp to give people at the bright source company a chance? you bet we will. we're going to put a stamp on america's future for the price of a stamp. it's a good deal for our future. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from texas. mr. barton: madam speaker, i want to yield one minute to the distinguished chairman of the republican policy committee, mr. mccotter of michigan. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan is recognized for one minute. mr. mccotter: thank you. today we will debate a bill by raising your taxes, taking your job and dictating your life. in my state of michigan with a 15% unemployment rate we know we cannot afford this cap and tax bill.

you bet. do americans want us to limit pollution and make polluters pay so that americans can have cleaner air for the cost of a postage stamp a day? you bet. do americans want three million new jobs in this country for postage stamps? you bet. americans want it. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from louisiana rise? mr. fleming: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. fleming: thank you, mr. speaker. as we continue to learn more about the single payer government takeover of the health care system proposed by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, i'd like to point out why this isn't a good idea. first, we can't afford it. cost estimates are now up tomorrow $3.5 trillion of money we don't have. medicare even with heavy subsidies from private insurance is on the course of bankruptcy. how will we afford a medicare for all program? let me be be clear the government cannot be both competitor and

you can bet that oil prices will go up or go down. cold. sweet. 10. you can write contracts on anything then you can get complex contracts were you look at the ratio of the basket of currencies to another basket of currencies and you bet on that ratio so it gets increasingly complex that the former head said i did not understand it and nobody else did either. but about one year ago, a $700 trillion in derivatives. is that a quadrillion dollars in derivatives. that is why the powers that be in its treasury are totally spooked about what could happen because if the counterparties begin to refuse to honor their bets then it could unravel low whole financial system of the world and bring down one of the worst crashes we have ever conceived of. that is hanging over the head of the economy of the united states and the world. the big boys to not like to talk about that but that is the danger but we haven't derivatives in excess of a quadrillion dollars but the notational by you but nevertheless that is a situation we are faced with. that is why we have gone t

you bet. lessons observed are not necessarily lessons learned. so when we do have these exercises and we have cultural and language opportunities, shall we say, we want to try to get down to a couple of really big hidden items that countries in young men and young women and old men and women can understand, embrace, and six is necessary or pursue its desirable. so lessons learned is a great big ticket item. lessons observed -- volumes and volumes -- all of us have seen them on the shelves. we are interested. we are not persuaded by this. we are interested and persuaded by lessons learned. we are working very hard with all the nations with whom we engaged to make them concrete, simple, and fixable. yes, sir. >> thank you, sir. i would like to ask a question on north korea. the u.s. government has been watching several north korean vessels right now, which are possibly carrying weapons. are you going to keep watching the vessel continuously? until when? second, do we have any expectation when the north korean launch will be, and what we are -- what

. >> if you had to bet your house on that, would you bet your house on that evidence? >> it is absolutely cited in our reports. i will make sure that we track it down for you. >> thank you very much. >> dr. romer, a lot of americans are betting their house. that is their problem. it is the coverage in their house and everything they have. we are betting on fixing the problem. i want to come back to the question about the president's commitment that if you like your plan you get to keep it. dr. prized posed an example where if a plan that an employer provides fall short of the minimum coverage that is in the house draft what would happen. the answer is that the employer would have to come up. that is true. is someone likely to like the plan? the presence and if you like your plan needed to keep it. >> i think most people like something that is better. >> let's talk about what that standard is. it is my understanding that in the house draft that the minimum coverage is based upon 70% of the actual value of the federal help employee benefit plan. that is a pretty modest n

you bet your sweet life. i can't wait to tie to anybody that is fighting against this public health insurance program. it is going to be competitive. the health information technology is going to force them to provide more options for people. we are sending out a 48 million people that have no insurance and they will have in the negotiating hands for the insurance companies who can compete with subsidies in order to get insurance year-and-a-half of the people have been under in short and be able to negotiate so what does that mean? and means providers will be able to know that the government is a friend and a partner of everyone seeking health insurance and so the industry is going to buy new jobs for the providers of nurses, primary care doctors, so that communities and never have access to health care would be able to do it and is going to mean a stronger financial country, going to mean a stronger health country and a strong moral stand that we will be setting in order to do what we should have done a long

. >> can't believe you brought up halle berry, but nice work out of you, bet. you there was recently an incident outside tropicana field where j.c. romero and a fan got into it. i ask you first, should players always turn the other cheek? >> yes, absolutely. i empathize with j.c. romero. i really do. i know he's really tried to combat this perception that he was a knowledgeable and knowing steroid user or substance, performance-enhancing drug user with what happened in the off season with the 50-game suspension, but the bottom line is this comes down to a discussion between j.c. romero and some dude named robert eaton. j.c. romero understands that part of the territory that comes with being a professional athlete is that there is a certain code of conduct that you must have. he gets paid a lot of money to deal with things on the field but also off of it. he needed to act more professionally. there have been a ton of other athletes, joe frazier from philly up against muahmmed ali, jackie robinson in baseball, the target of much, much worse in fans. why did romero

>> you bet. just very quickly on the discharge. i think again, you know, the devil is in the detail in how we define discharge

you bet it is a tear. is a bad? i don't think so. we all get very good care. another story, i had to get a crown in my mouth because i am not so careful. and lead dentist recommended eight titanium whenever and the insurance company said we only cover gold and if you want to the titanium it is 500 more dollars and i was outraged. but then i sat back and said that is very reasonable. if gold is good care but i wanted the super deluxe i should pay the extra $500. and it seems to me that is very fair. it makes me think how much of that is worth it? and that is what we have to get more of common not just of them but us as well. we have to experience that and make those traces for ourselves. we should stop pointing fingers that everyone else and that's why i suggest requires restructuring the health care market. most people do not see that we need to restructure the system so we pay for value and if we want more value we want the deluxe rather than asking our neighbor to pay it for us. >> just a reminder you're listening to the commonwealth club of california we're

people didn't know what was in the president's budget but you bet when the details were reviewed and there were 17 billion in cuts congress started to hear from people on that which was sent to obama as fever because these were things the administration was proposing so congress is hearing intent to hear people when they are complaining and not necessarily in favor of something the people i think given the approval ratings and so long so far of obama 60% better and still very much in favor with people but some of these specific policies are already running into difficulties. >> can i say very quickly as someone who spent enormous amount of time with this president, president obama does not like the media. he doesn't interact with us. i spent hundreds of hours on an airplane with him. he came back to talk to the press maybe once every two weeks at most. chip, sure you don't see much of him in the white house. john mccain on the other hand loved reporters, spent hundreds and hundreds of hours invested in those relationships and i think if you pull political reporters in washington, joh

. >> guest: you bet. i will try to go through those quickly. one of the comments we received in committee and there was a very direct question to the folks managing the missile defense system, what is the accuracy and are we prepared, and the response was on the accuracy rate it was 90% or better, which is very strong when you think about technology and what you're doing with the missile defense system. saying that, i think there are issues as i have brought out in regard to alaska's fort greenly, that if we stop the program as it is today as they've proposed i think a word readiness will diminish. i know the military leadership said absolutely not. we will be in great position but i would say that if you search, if you noticed the data points for example north korea has done more, they've done 40% of missile launches in the last period of three months since we made this decision or the administration proposed its decision of limiting fort greenly in the last ten years 40% of the missile launches have occurred since that decision has been made.

you bet they are. they are concerned about the costs of health care, concerned about having enough doctors, they are concerned about the trend line. that is one of the reasons i am working hard on this legislation is because we are in a position, whether in a state that has high quality-low-cost before low- quality-high cost, we are all on the path that is not sustainable. i have concerns about my friends and family. i had that conversation with my son and dinner sunday night when he came over in terms of talking about what is happening to his premium costs. so, yes, people are concerned, but the objective data suggest there are lots of variations and the data suggests there is room for improvement in ways that will not cost the taxpayer a lot of money and, in fact, will be able to improve the quality of health care what the money we have. most of you introduced a trio of health care bills and one was talking about medicare costs. explain that legislation. guest: part of what i am hopeful we are able t

>> you bet. >> clerk will call the roll on tom coburn's amendment number 72. >> senator dodd. >> no. >> senator harkin. >> no. >> senator mikulski. >> no. >> no by proxy. >>er? bingham. >> no by proxy. >> senator murray. >> no. >> senator reid. >> no. >> senator sanders. >> no. >> senator brown. >> no. >> senator casey. >> no. >> senator hagan. >> no by proxy. >> senator berkeley. >> no. >> senator whitehouse. >> no. >> senator enzi. >> aye. >> senator greggg. >> aye by proxy. >> senator alexander. >> aye by proxy. >> senator burr. >> aye by proxy. >> senator mccain. >> aye by proxy. >> senator hatch. >> aye by proxy. >> senator macao ski. >> aye by proxy. >> senator kennedy. >> no by proxy. >> 10 ayes, 13 >> number 783. coburn number 73. >> this is just another level of trying to keep us accountable. since we don't want the states to do it, and we don't want to give the states flexibilities, how about if we find that a work force program is ineffective, allowing the secretary to say so and redirect the funds to where the program is effective? that's all this amendment does. if the s

in general other shortages you bet. other petitioners in shortages and oklahoma we have done a good job with our p a program but not as good job of the earners practitioner program so it will allow the flexibility of the state's to decide where they want to put the money based on the shortage that they have. rather than washington to signing with what they are going to do so the whole idea is to move it out of here, but a closer to where it is going to be spent with the wisdom of the state's knowing how best to spend the money. so we strike all of the title with the exception of a commission in the state works worst of all the programs and i am willing to change that and to whenever you want but i think it is much more effective if we are going to have an impact on these shortages and were all well, as chairman is pediatrics of it allows them to really directed where as in a large urban areas we don't see as much pediatric some specialists know what we are doing is prescribing but they need is rather than what we think

the second part of your question was -- [inaudible] >> oh, yeah, thank you, joint lessons learned, you bet. here's an interesting, again, semantics, lessons observed aren't necessarily lessons learned. [laughter] >> so when we do have these exercises and we have cultural and language opportunities, shall we say, we want and try and skinny down to a couple real big hidden items that countries and young men and young women and old men and old women can understand, can embrace and can fix if necessary or pursue if desirable. so lessons concerned is a great big ticket item in the pacific command. lessons observed, volumes and volumes all of us have seen them on the books, on the shelves. well, we're interested, we're not persuaded by those. we're interested and persuaded by lessons learned and we're working very hard with all the nations with whom we engaged to make them concrete, make them simple, and make them fixable. in the outyears. yes, sir. >> thank you, sir. i'm from the radio free asia. now, u.s. government keep watching the several north korea vessel right now, which are possibly car

you bet. is it european command? or is it -- and what about canada? is that really, is it their water? how do we work through the policy challenges attendant to military operations up here as is certain will be more than less involved in the out years in operations or at least guaranteeing freedom of access in the maritime domain? so it is an issue that we are studying more closely. you know, the classic staff response, well, we'll take that for action. well, we have it for action. we're working on it with northern command, with european command. it's complicated, it's challenging, it's important. we talked about the trade, $1 trillion of trade that our countries do with the united states. the decrease in transit time is startling between the far eastern countries and u.k. and our nato allies in europe. well, everybody can cut four or five steaming days off in the northwest passage is open. so an issue of significant strategic importance, we're would working it in concert with northern command, european command, our friends and allies and the departme

. >> guest: you bet. >> host: why this intrigued by the mystery judge. >> guest: yes. >> host: i have always felt judges can hardly purge themselves entirely of their political instincts. the politics is in their soul. i wish you would talk about this advice from the mystery judge who found you and apparently is the only real adviser than your students that you ever had. >> guest: right. well i don't know that i should use his name. >> host: i'm not asking you to use his name, we want him to keep his job. >> guest: judges are largely effected in many seats as they are political animals, and he had been involved deeply if the democratic party. of course had to step away once he became a judge, but i know he kept his eye on it. his wife was a middle school teachers of course he had heard about me and he wanted to meet with me to see how serious i was. he said he needed to look willing to take on what it was going to, you know, and so he was trotting to kind of you know, the shore me up and see what i was made that i suppose but he plus a great guy. we met sort of in cockney know. i reme

. >> buck: i can bet you when andrew miller left the ballgame, everyone on the ballgame said okay, we'ren the bullpen now, let's do something, and, boy, did they ever. just one hit. >> jim: there is a bunt attempt and it is foul. >> buck: i misspoke. amezaga is not active. he is on the disabled list now. >> jim: so that leave as righty, paulino, and the lefty de aza. two pinch hitters and a defensive replacement, and all dave trembley has left on his bench are pitchers. it is not likely to get up there at the plate. 1-2 on bonifacio. one out and none on in the bottom of the ninth. and a tapper. johnson has to hurry, and the toss and beyond aubrey huff. bonifacio didn't pick it up. he'll get back to first. because of the speed of bonifacio, that was a tough play right off of the bat, and johnson in his haste couldn't get it to huff cleanly. >> buck: when jim johnson broke for the ball, he lost his footing. he kind of spun out on the mound. watch his foot. right here. you can see him lose a little bit of traction as he broke over there and then he has to hurry, the shovel toss. aubrey huff

the way science advanced was by open dissemination of information because you could bet there's some kid in new zealand who would read this and figure out the next step. and that's the kind of science i wanted to write about. when rutherford died, he died rather early. in the late '30s, his bank account was 7,000 pounds. which was exactly his own noble prize money in 1911. i'll end by talking about the -- the "new york times" once had a very brilliant science editor named comfort. and in 1936, he wrote what these people did. einstein, rutherford, bohr, clunk, the heroes of the heroic age of physics, and this is what he said they did. suppose that nobody on earth had ever a piece of music and then suppose that beethoven's fifth symphony is played over and over again by invisible mugs. the physicist problem is develop a apparatus that will sift out one note and analyze and infer what invisible instruments produce the sounds, deduce the rules in following determining what notes should be played and how long and how loudly. it's not likely that he would succeed in imagining violins and c

any time that you draft a pitcher's son, you can bet from the time he was 6, 7, 8 years old, he has been at least taught the right way. and he's got the right way of thinking. sometimes those guys may not have as good stuff but they know how to pitch. it is just like my dad always said, he is a ballplayer. he may not be the fastest guy or the guy to hit with the most power or throws the hardest, but he knows how to play the game. >> all those picks for the nationals, stephen strasburg is on. also in our covering the bases segment today, 1st baseman adam dunn. we are going to learn a lot about adam dunn, his family and how things are going with this nationals. micah owings and john lannan today in the series fi family with the reds -- finale with the reds. times may be tough today, but the things we all look forward to haven't changed. like owning a home. watching our children grow. and retiring with confidence. so whatever you're looking forward to, m&t bank is here to help you get there. m&t bank. understanding what's important. welcome to chili's. something new is on the grill. try chi

if you don't, all bets are off. bets are off because you are accountable to your constituents in the american people, this is not a party line void in similarly we have to get more sophisticated about how we work for the democrats in congress and one is the energy back -- waxman markey bill, excellent efforts. we lost a lot and the committee process. there are some flaws with this bill that we hope to strengthen through the floor process but one of the lessons that we learn in this is chairman henry waxman who is arguably one of the most passionate advocates of a clean energy economy was also the chief negotiator on the spell. hard to be a champion and a negotiator at the same time there and what we as a movement did not recognize is we would be doing chairman waxman a favor by elevating voices from the progressive caucus, elevating other who have the ability because they were responsible forgetting a bill at committee to be that voice of saying we can do more. americans want more, there are more jobs possible if we

you and your kids would always have health insurance. i bet you that 80% of americans would agree to that. host: our guest will be with us for 50 minutes. if you want to ask him questions, you can do so on -- republicans, 202-737-0001, democrats, 202-737-0002, independents, 202-628-0205. does taxing health care plans? guest: i would prefer not to do that. if you tax -- that is essentially what senator mccain wanted to do during the presidential campaign. in the long run in this country, the employer based health-care system is a detriment to our economy. i also do not think you can uproot it overnight. there was a survey of ceo's. much to my surprise, most people run a major companies prefer employer based. they think they can get their arms around the cost. they like it and they feel they have some control over it. a lot of innovation in the health-care system comes from the employer based system through most of the good will miss work comes out of the private sector. they say, how can we get our arms around this? sometimes they make sure the

i bet you would do it tomorrow. >> i think you should come out here. >> it's fabulous. terrific. >> much more spread out. >> great. >> this picture, by the way -- happy pat gets here. the first time he saw this. he sent us a big plant after he was here for dinner to put in front of it for obvious reasons. >> i have to look at it. i'm going to look. >> emily, how are you? michael smerconish. >> thanks for having me. >> the same thing there? >> i'm doing two radio shows a day, both from philadelphia, and it makes it very hard to travel because i'm on the air from 6:00 until 9:00 in in morning, which i have a 3:30 wakeup call, and then i'm off for three hours, and i'm back on the air at noon, noon to 3:00. tomorrow i'm doing three shows. my own, two shows, and then i'm about to pick up an affiliate in boston, and the boston affiliate doesn't have for whatever reason a person doing afternoon drive tomorrow so they said to me, would you mind doing an extra two hours live only from boston as a mean of introducing yourself? i said i would do it. what the hell. at that point i

metropolitan fastball, until someone shows you they can hit that, why are you going to your second, third, fourth pitch? make that guy bet you -- beat you off your best pitch first. >> and half good, our number one draft choice, he said what happens if you get a guy out on three fastballs out the first time? what do you do? i said throw him three fastballs again. you're not going to bray, it is not an audition. -- broadway. it is not an audition. there are a couple of basic premises, if you're a hitter you never have to swing at anything you're looking at until you get the two strikes. and if you're a pitcher and the guy doesn't hit it, keep throwing it. what are you going to do if you get in trouble and you go to his weakness every time the guy comes to the plate? >> >> jim: jim, you may have done this game this 1998. the orioles played in detroit stadium. do you remember anderson? >> rob: he was their top pick. >> jim: he threw a fastball so late, he looked like he was 50 years old. the next pitch he hit it up -- it it in the upper deck. were you surprised? oh, no, after he got that fastball by me, if he throws his cur

years and did i tell you credit rating is the first thing an employer looks set during the interview. it was massive fraud and that is what obama was trying to shut down. i would bet that he did not go far enough and i am sure credit card companies will protect you and allow you to get credit. >> i am wondering if it is a bit unfair to put some much blame on the lobbyist when they don't cast votes at the end of the day. >> that is a fair question. i first identified the problem 15 years ago if you look at my six or seven prior books. regardless of the title i always of a chapter of lobbying illinois effects of you that our i am obsessive but two years of your focus my attention on cleaning up the government. thought government was the problem then i realized and thought it through us something my sister would teach me where is the power? follow the money it is not the congressmen day macy powerful to you but they are inconsequential compared to the money behind the lobbyists and corporations. if you are going to change washington you can try to accomplish through the vote but i believe you will be unsuccessful. i believe not only if you run for office think he wil

i bet you everybody in tampa, st. petersburg would tell you now that what they had here last year made the wait worthwhile, not to say they weren't really tough years. they won

you can't make up f.b.i. bet at that cap pavment you can't make up that you have these high awards and that you're summa cum laude and phi bet at that kappa. these are facts that should go into evidence. since graduating, the judge has a varied and interesting legal career. she's worked as a private -- in the private sector as a litigator. she's been a district court and an appellate court judge and she's taught law school classes. but the one experience of hers that particularly resonates for me is that immediately graduating from law school, she spent five years as a prosecutor at the manhattan district attorney's office, which was one of the busiest and most well-thought-of prosecutors' offices in our country. at that time it paid about half as much as a scrob in the private sector, but she wanted the challenge and the trial experience, as she told me when we met, and she took the job as a prosecutor. before i entered the senate, mr. president, i was a prosecutor, managing an office of about 400 people in minu

what happens in minnesota, i tell you this, i bet it is as expensive in other states but what we do is smart. we take a team of graduate students that are food detectives working together instead of going all over the state to maybe a county nurse in oning, someone in another county. this group of graduate students working under the supervision of doctors and people who are professionals in this area, literally call people who have been sick more maybe just a little sick and that way in one moment in time they immediately figure out what the people were eating, where the food came from. it is very sophisticated laboratory techniques that go on but what works here is the teamwork with graduate students. finally, this legislation would establish food safety centers of excellence. the goal is to set up regional food safety centers at select public health departments and higher education institution. this provides resources, training and coordination for state and local officials so that other states can be doing exactly what minnesota does. in particular, they seek to distribute food safe

you don't think most guys are holding their breath right here? >> that whole glove is off the plate. >> could have been high, could have been outside. 3-1. >> i'll bet you keuchel wasn't breathing the whole pitch. lined right at the shortstop. has a chance for two. one, double-play! >> hits the ball right on the money. carver, the shortstop knocked it down. stayed with it. went to bigham, and made the return throw with the double-play, and they get out with the bases loaded jam. how about that. >> wow, you saw here on espnews. the exciting conclusion in the bottom of the ninth as they end up going to extras. >> get you back out to omaha as events warrant. the bluejays put ace roy halladay in the d.l. halladay's dealing with the groin injury. he's ready to pitch off the d.l. on june 28th. >> bluejays and phils tonight, scott richmond got the start in place of halladay. pitched very well. also had as good defense behind him. here in the fourth inning, raoul ibanez hits this grounder. look at marco scutaro, field and flip to hill. starts with the 6-4-3 double-play. worth another look. scutaro leads all shortstops in fielding percentage. .997. scutarous

i don't care what you say i'm willing to bet on it. >> do you like his defense? >> i love his defense. i wish he would set up a little better with men in scoring position and receiving the ball. he's a big man. they always have tough times getting comfortable behind the plate. you can watch him during the course of the game. the knees moving left, moving right. he's got great hands. no doubt about that. that's what i love about him and he gets the ball out of the glove very quick. he's very unsettled behind home plate. missed the ball in the dirt. he should have blocked last night. small adjustment and very little thing to complain about because the rest of it i really love. >> when we come back we'll take a look at jason berken. rick's scouting report comes up next. your world delivered here on masn. >>> just a reminder meet adam jones oriole star on wednesday june 10 from noon to 1:00 at wendy's. visit masn sports.com for more information. o's extra brought to you by at&t. berken starting tonight for the orioles. enthused about berken and the oriole's young pit

i bet you could ransack the c- span archives and you would not find a foot of tape in which he disparaged somebody personally or called someone a name. it is just one of those ironies, but i think in the rearview mirror, a tougher position on spending would have served him well, and later on the republican party. >> there's a point of controversy when lawrence lindsey was asked how much it would cost in iraq and he said $200 billion. everybody said that was baloney. you are in the middle of all that and defended him. how does it look from this point of view? >> i have a thick file to confirm what i actually said at the time. we at omb were asked to cost the first supplemental to pay for the iraq war. it is very clear on the historical record what the assumptions were. we were not war fighters, we were estimators. how much would it cost to defeat the iraqi army and be out six months later? we gave a number that turned out to be very much on the mark. larry had a more macro idea. this would not be world war ii or vietnam. that was not the supposition at the time. >> we are up to $700 millio

down here, is the heat wave of 2006 in france, which i bet you didn't hear about.bout it. but, in fact, it was just about as warm as 2003. not enough people died to make headlines. here's the predicted warming. you can see the predicted warming in 2006 is just about the same as the predicted warming in 2003. a predicted number of deaths, i'm sorry and here are the observed number of deaths in 2003. what happened? people adapted. and they do it worldwide. they've been doing it in the united states. we in our cities, heat-related deaths have been declining for decades. heat waves are in our cities, the fewer people die. you know, we hear that it's the old and it's the infirm that die in a city in a heat wave. well, the places where the heat related deaths are tampa and phoenix. this is the oldest age distribution in the country. there is one city in the united states where heat-related deaths are going up. that's seattle. it has the youngest age distribution amongst population of cities that we looked at. but it also has the coldest summers. it's very clear where hea

i'll bet you in five or ten years some of these young women who didn't have much of a future because of their upbringing in some sense, some of these young women will become doctors and nurses because they have had the experience in making a difference. if we do it right we can take this program in mansfield, replicate it and see it all over the nation. the legislation before us would also address serious workforce shortages that exist across the spectrum. nurses to pediatric specialists, to dental care providers to primary care physicians. mr. president, we have a lot of work to do. i'm very optimistic that we can pass good health care reform in this country. we know that the first rule of thumb is to make sure that if people are happy with the coverage they have, if they're happy with the insurance plan they're in, they can keep that plan. second is we've got to do a better job of reining in the costs to so many people in this health care system: employers, individual businesses -- employers, individuals, and government. third, we need to make sure t

it is not going to be done overnight but i will bet you in ten years we can make a big difference. in ten years, orin hatch, we can make a big difference in shifting how we feel prevention and wellness in our society. it can be everywhere from school based programs, community-based programs, the workplace wellness programs and we are working with the finance committee on that come clinically base programs. making it pervasive throughout society, that we make it easier to be healthier rather than easier to be unhealthy. so, that is sort of my whole speech on that. i don't mean to belabor it any longer. i will be coming back to a. mr. chairman, what we have got, we have worked very closely, i think. or stack as worked very closely with republican staff on a lot of these measures. we had proper to them earlier, a couple weeks ago or a week ago when we were going through this and we had some suggestions back in a few areas. but then mommy started the process here of amendments, we got 171 amendments filed. i did not think this section would incur that many quite frankly. so far, ours s

you asked me we could. we could. mr. mccarthy: i would never bet against you. i appreciate the opportunity to bring that up. and to my good friend from maryland, knowing that this is the last colloquy before the fourth of july break, as we look forward when we come back there is a lot of big topics coming before this house, and i will tell you from a personal level it was a little disturbing on some of the items i am reading about. because in this house and on this side of the aisle i participated really in the first time coming back this year inviting our president to our conference. inviting president obama to the conference because we wanted to work in a bipartisan manner. we worked on the idea of the stimulus bill where we got together and we created ideas that he asked for and we gave it to him. and create twice as many jobs with half as much money, scored by his own administration in there. and when i look forward, one thing we did early on was this leadership of this side of the house signed a letter to the president with our talking about we want to wor

teaching which tries -- and the subtitle is -- i don't know what the subtitle -- it's called -- you can seep it bet are -- moral commitment and ethical action in the classroom, and that's an attempt to fast forward from 15 years of writing and thinking about education and to say, again, in a democracy, what is the requirement of teachers? what is teaching in a democracy, and i ran with the idea that the fundamental thing is we have a moral commitment to think about our students, our world in certain ways, and then to act on that thinking. >> host: if it's okay with you, my ayers, we scheduled a break at this pound but we would like to continue to take more phone calls. we will take a short break in a half hour or so if that will help everybody out. do you need to break? you go right ahead, and you can leave if anybody here in the audience needs to leave, that's okay to do. we're just going to continue to take your calls here from chicago, florida, george, you're on the line. >> gentlemen. mr. ayers, with your writing and selling of books are you incorporated in i have a couple questions so maybe yo

you have rookie against rookie tonight. i put my money on craig stammen if i was a betting man. >> i'm with you, johnny. although this kid has gotten a lot more fanfare than stammen, i think stammen is one of the guys that mentally tough just the way he handles himself. he'll find a way to win and keep new ballgames. >> thank you for joining us here for "nats xtra" pregame. nyjer morgan and sean burnett joining the nationals ball club. for ray knight, i'm johnny holliday. see you after the ballgame. john and rob coming up next from florida. announcer: this is lisa & jackson. they told us they wanted a laptop with... ...speed, a big hard drive and a good gaming computer... ...for under $1500. we told them you find it, you keep it. - let's check these out. - this is nice. - let's go see the macs. - these are way more money, dude. it's a little too small. maybe we'd rather go with pc. - let's try that for him. - this is good for games too, right? - yea. - both: blu-ray! - we're ready to buy this one. - what!? - announcer: they agree. it's a pc. - we're buying this! - i'm a pc and i'm 11. - and uh, i'm not.

get one guy, get two guys to lock down another guy intertwieng arms and legs and you start acting like you're gambling and bett go this one, big, strong guy can lift the three guys. right when you say like the guy is going to lift him up, the rest of the team comes in with condiments, ketchup, mustard, mayo and nails the rookie in the middle. he's do i haveless, can't move. base hit by vernon wells. 2-2. three-man lift on vern orrin. >> bob: vernon wells is coming out of his funk 8-18 last. his batting average on its way over .250 now. >> rob: gets the fastball where he likes it. he drives it right up the dish. see, when you're trying to come out of a slump though, that's the way do you t you don't try to hit home runs. you try to hit singles. >> bob: this is dangerous with scott rolen stepping in. he flied to center with wells aboard back in the first. he has two men on now. now the hits as i mentioned are coming for rolen, but his power numbers still well down. only four homers this year. 276 in his career. he's 20 behind adam dunn, 13th year in the big leagues. 7 1/2 with the phillies. 4 1/2 st. louis in h

you look at and putz put the circle around. >> gary: from pelfrey's opec perspective. 2-0 delivery on the way. he fawldz behind 3-0 on the number nine hitter. >> jim: all bets are off if you walk andino to get to brian roberts. >> gary: there's roberts waiting, hoping. >> jim: you think he doesn't want to atone for that error back in the fourth inning. >> gary: 3-0 count. andino, he'll be taking and does. fastball in there. >> jim: you would actually think he would be taking here. only two extra-base hits all year long. even though the averages come up, he's played a terrific shortstop. >> gary: really smoothed out his plays we were talking about earlier. three ball, one strike count. runners on first and second base. he draws the wahl walk to load the bases. so, having no one coming into the inning, he walks two here in this inning and that will bring up dan warthen the pitching coach to have a word with his starter. base loaded two down and roberts coming up. pelfrey has taken the mets pretty deep in ballgames that he has started. he's good at getting some innings under his belt at least five in 10-11 starts he's made this season. he's working here in the

right now has a sign on the counter where you go to order and says, if you hold the cheese and hold the mayo is a 160 calories. i bethat that gets more than the chart you have to read a that talks about the difference sandwiches are and the different categories, as some things like that

that's one thing you heard from manny acta when this kid has the ball work, everything is down in the zone, you're bet beeting him. that's what we saw against the yankees. they did not get a lot of good swings off craig stammen. >> bob: nothing but fastballs. the fact that ross is hitting over the top of the ball means that craig's got some good, late movement on that number one. >> rob: i like that on their scoreboard they do both pitchers at the same time. >> bob: the pitch counts? >> rob: yes. everybody does it different. here in florida, they dough do both guys' pitch counts on their scoreboard at the same time. >> bob: they do some nice things here inbetween promos where they make fun of the visiting team. the nationals jerseys have been used for a puddle to walkover. >> rob: well, it covers the puddle like a gentlemanly thing. that's a foul ball by cody. >> bob: look out, buddy.

you very much. [applause] [applause] i would be happy to take any questions then there is a microphone in the back for-- there's a gentleman over here. >> hello. >> kaniewski bemuddle bet so we can all hear you? [inaudible] three things came to mind when i was listening to your presentation. one of them was theology, philosophy and one was typography. could you flesh those topics out as to what you feel influenced him in terms of those three points? and also i have another one but i will send you an e-mail. [laughter] >> all three of those sound like books and themselves. to a biography of obviously kosciuszko was always warning about the high ground and where he would be attacked from. his philosophy obviously was that we are all equal. in fact he wrote a letter to his sister in which you wrote remember we are all equal. except that some of us have more money and education than others and that is the only difference. said that with his philosophy in that everyone deserves a chance to make a living and be happy. he often used the word happiness. even his latter cece before the declaration of independence, he used the words we should all be as happy as possible. in term

she had never seen a typewriter and i bet a lot of you have never operated a typewriter.you know what a computer is in a laptop. i used to have to type it out on those old typewriters. the other part is, when i worked at the fort worth star-telegram and young people would find this kind of unusual too. in this age of the cell phone if you did not have a phone in those days, if you did not know where the phones were you did not have the story because you could not get it into the paper. on the police beat we knew where the gas stations were that had payphones in various parts of the town and we would go to that part of town. we would know, if i go to sell and sell gas station there is a pay phone there and that was an important part of learning what the beat was and how to cover. >> welcome to close-up of the newseum. >> i am brought in nine from alexandria minnesota. earlier we talked about presidential legacies and i was wondering about your legacy. i want to know what accomplishment, wide world have you played that you would be most proud of in all, when you are done? [

you learn? >> the first thing, i would bet the over on $1 trillion over 10 years, despite what the congressman said. they've got a large program of subsidies for people to buy insurance, they have a big extension of medicaid and improvements to medicare, it's an expensive bill, it'll be over $1 trillion, and they're still struggling with ways to pay for it. >> if i could continue that, that guess is substantiated by what's happened on the senate side. the pieces of legislation aren't the same but two different senate committees have been communicating with the congressional budget office to figure out how to cover everything. most of the must be is expanding coverage to at least some portion of the 40-something million people who don't have insurance. those scores are coming back at more than $1 trillion. on the cost side of it, i can't imagine the house bill would cost less than that. they may write deeper cuts to medicare and medicaid providers in other areas that would bring down the price tag, but the new spending for the new program has still got to be more than $1 trillion. >> with all that's
