burgess: you know, i believe in the american economy. i believe in the ability of american people to recover in this economy. i don't think that the united states house of representatives, the senate and the white house combined can keep this economy down forever. but they can give it a good shot at keeping it down longer than it needs to be. and we all know because of the prolonged effect of joblessness the economy is having a tougher time recovering. and the gentleman said it so well, the reason that small and medium-sized business is reluctant to add a job right now and you are seeing the same thing, some things look like they are picking up a little bit. parking lots are a little fuller. but talk to a small business person and ask them are you doing a little bit better? maybe a little bit. do you think you might add a job soon or take someone else on to your business? i might, but i don't know what you are going to do to me in this health care bill. i have no idea what this financial regulatory scheme you have passed is going to do t

mcchrystal has now gone and the new commander of american troops and international troops in afghanistan they try to apply neutral solutions yes because they're military men but you know you can apply the solution only two minutes a problem the problem in afghanistan the problem of pakistan are not military and those are social economic and political problems smallest of all corruption drug abuse and actually the basic problem the field nation building but they see the basic problem of those countries and of course we can make no plans for to interfere to. support the asper from the russian academy of sciences in there. and i were activist michael prysner says washington's desperately negotiated with the taliban but it may be too late. it does not look like the taliban is in any position to negotiate the united states right now because the taliban is winning the war very clearly what this can be seen as is a move of desperation on behalf the united states to hillary clinton is going that representative saying that you know this goal in afghanistan the reason that we're told we must fight

yeah it'll probably be the american playground like it was with but these stuff but they still had free education they still had free health care when it wasn't under a communist regime so i don't think that's going to change i just do believe that they're going to see mcdonald's on every corner i think they're going to see starbucks on every corner i think they're going to see kellogg's in their grocery stores and i don't think things could actually get worse so if there's a regime change and there is an influx of money i think the people will benefit i think you'll have more tourism from the united states and things cannot get worse in that country you know go back to the way it was with by these that which wasn't fantastic but slowly and surely maybe things will get better and. i believe that it will help and also i was disagreeing with frank before i think you have to understand that gusto is loved around the world because the united states is often seen so much as a big bully examinations little tiny desirable island with eleven million people with this guy who is willing to stand

but to most american media she's yet another twenty something russian agent. in light of this season's spy hike every russian woman in the u.s. seems to use mystery. young maybe a schoolteacher maybe a reporter doesn't matter what you do but the allure of a russian spies there and the women are the most intriguing. movie critics say the rest of ten russian agents in the u.s. this summer was the best and campaign possible for the latest movie with angelina jolie a russian spy story song might have come across as a little outdated but after the rest it appears fresh and new the most challenging was speaking russian very hard language hard beautiful beautiful scotti if they're feeling could make a great gift to this movie and it's not the only one in the summit like night and day it with tom cruise it's a favorite books in hollywood but i think in the future they're going to be more comedy and some spice rather than serious drama. real life spying is no joke but when a young attractive woman enters the picture things change. i was. most readers were intrigued and

up first, the most powerful woman in american politics. in an exclusive one-on-one interview house speaker nancy pelosi called the flood of major legislation that has passed congress and been signed by the president tantamount to the new deal. we interviewed her for a half hour special profile story that will air on this program the weekend before the november elections. >> i spoke with speaker pelosi just after she returned from the signing ceremony in which president barack obama signed into law the most comprehensive financial regulatory overhaul since the great depression. pelosi is to you being called the most powerful woman in american politics, and the most powerful speaker in recent times. since she became speaker in 2006, she has shepherded through the u.s. house passage of the first increase in the minimum wage in a decade. the $787 billion economic stimulus package to battle the recession and a massive overhaul of the health-care system. >> well, it's a... the enthusiasm and the boldness of the new deal but with less government.

many americans have not even heard of it. president obama has not turned health care reform into positive feelings. bbc news, washington. >> goldman sachs and has agreed to settle some charges. some accuse it of being responsible -- of leading a penalty. and several people have been killed and injured in southeastern iran. it is the result a horrific attack that secretary clinton has condemned. there was a south korean war ship that sunk. officials reported the crisis. one person has denied involvement in the sinking of the ship. the hunt goes on for a renegade afghan soldier. in man says he is the soldier. he says he was acting on the taliban. here is more. >> the conversation was arranged by the taliban. the 21 year-old afghan army soldier says the reason he carried out the attack is because he is angry with british forces. he claimed to the british forces committed atrocities in afghanistan including killing civilians and launching attacks. before these killings, he was not a member of the taliban. he says it was his own i

but americans did? he make did -- what americans did he make feel good? white americans? guest: i salute you for being more pressed about iraq. i was leaving iraq had a nuclear program. i was inclined to believe saddam hussein had a nuclear program because he had one for the gulf war. we had not inspected there since 1998. given that there was not much of a mechanism on the ground to inspect what he was doing, i figured that he would go back to his old ways. he had a long history of wanting to be the greatest power in the middle east. on ronald reagan, i tried to make it clear, this book is not a defense of ronald reagan pose foreign-policy in general or particularly hisomestic policy, about which i would have enormous criticism. even on the foreign-policy front, i spoke about how many people died in the wars in central america, part of the results of america's actions. the reason it is important to write about reagan is the myth of the idea that he won the cold war through military force, that he was someone click on the trigger when it came to deploy u.s. troops and tha

but american families see things a little differently. the economic policies of this administration have failed. last year the obama administration said that its trillion-dollar "stimulus" plan would create jobs "immediately" and keep unemployment below 8%. today unemployment remains near a heartbreaking 10%, and since the stimulus bill became law, our economy has lost about 3 million jobs. and if they haven't already done enough to wreck our recovery, democrats in washington are pushing more spending, more regulation, and right around the corner: more taxes. democrats in washington are now actually talking about embracing what would be the largest tax increase in american history. let me say that again. after 18 months of runaway

a strategy to boost american manufacturing. for generations, for generations, americans have looked at our manufacturing sector as a source of economic vitality. a source of good paying jobs and a source of pride. almost has always been proud to be a country that makes things. somewhere those jobs and that pride are a thing of the past, but democrats don't believe that. and we are committed to the make it in america agenda will encourage bills to make it in industry and improving manufacturing infrastructure and innovation, strengthen the america workforce, and create a level playing field for american manufacturers that compete worldwide in this flat world of which tom friedman spoke. n america agenda is made up of a range of bills that will come to the floor in the coming weeks, including enhancement act which passed the house on wednesday. it makes it easier for american companies to get the materials they need to manufacture goods here. the sectors act which passed this week, it foreigns -- forls partners to train workers n

the americans with disabilities act of 1990 was enacted to protect all americans from discrimination on the basis of disability. i am proud that we are able to look back on the passage of the americans with disabilities act and recognize the importance of this legislation and the changes made in american society, but our work is not yet done. the law must continue to evolve. we must continue to revisit the ada and to examine whether it is accomplishing its purpose. where we find that it is not, we must be willing to make changes. one recent example occurred in the last congress when we passed the americans with disabilities act amendment of 2008, which was assigned by george w. bush and went into effect into the asinine. this restored the ada to congress as original intent by clarifying the coverage of anyone with disabilities and over rowling -- overruling a court decision that anyone with a disability would list their aid it simply because the treatment was available. we hope that this kind of determination and cooperation will continue into the future so that individuals with disa

the american people get it. it's high time the democrats wake up to the fact that the stimulus isn't working as promised. we need to cut government spending. repeal nonsensical regulations and lower taxes. we should not be passing this extension without an offset in spending. i urge my colleagues to vote no on the rule and no on the bill. let's answer the question the american people are asking, where are the jobs? let's put in policies that really create jobs. with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman from california. mr. cardoza: thank you, mr. speaker. i'd like to close today by discussing a little bit of what the gentlelady just talked about with regard to pay-go. i'd like to point out that i'm quite sure that the gentlelady from north carolina did not vote for the pay-go resolution in the house rules that we passed at the beginning of this congress. nor did she vote for statutory pay-go. but always talks about ta

the americans i hear from in letters and town hall meetings, americans like lesley ann and jim and denise are not looking for a handout. they desperately want to work. right now, they can't find a job. these are honest, decent, hard- working folks who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own and who have nowhere else to turn on less -- except unemployment benefits. tomorrow, we will have another chance to offer them that relief, to do right by not just the gym and lesley and denise but all the americans who need a helping hand right now. i hope we seize the opportunity. it is time to stop all the workers laid off in this recession hostage to washington politics. it is time to do what is right, not for the election, but for the middle class. we have to stop what the emergency relief for americans out of work. we have to extend unemployment insurance. we need to pass the tax cuts for small businesses and extend landing for small businesses. times are hard right now. we are moving in the right direction. i know it is getting close to election but there is a time when you put e

guest: that is a very common view of the americans. one reason that the obama administration has been slow to pick up pro-trade policies. the national manufacturers showed that we had a trade surplus in our free trade agreement partners. it is not strictly a trade deficit with those countries. there is no agreement with china, which is the big deficit. most of them are not free trade agreement countries. it is not strictly free trade that is causing the deficit. >> youngstown, ohio. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. thank you for taking my call. did you think that trade adequately account for the cost of social disruption as an industry moves offshore? second, i wanted to said companies have patents to protect them from other companies to not have the development costs so tha they can produce. tariffs actually protect countries fro the same thing. from generational processes that take generations to develop. othecountries are taking those processes away. i wanted to see if i could get an answer. thank you. guest: the 19th cen

i think we can all agree, regardless of political party that american elections must be decided by american voters and u.s. policy must be decided by the u.s. government. i would also add that this provision is much tougher than the minority's motion to recommit. that motion would have only banned certain activities by lobbyists for states that sponsor terrorism. this bill bars such lobbying altogether and secondly, the motion to recommit was clearly unconstitutional and destined to be struck down. the proposal would have allowed the government to prohibit an american citizen from making campaign contributions or independent expenditures on his or her own behalf on the basis of a business contract this would have clearly violated the first amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. hall: in con last, h.r. 5609 is constitutional. these foreign countries have no first amendment rights. i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 5609 and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. the gentleman from c

he is also african american. his father is from american, the fatser is from africa. but this call about anger on black on black crime. i think we ought the be upset about all crime. not whether it's black on black. then we say we'll separate that out and not worry about the rest. all crime brings us down as a society. it has a greater effect i think when you're living in a black community and you see it being perptrate by people living there. so we've got to have a broader discussion about that. and the issue about unwed motsers. what about unwed fathers? here is one, i had four or five kids by the time i was 21 years of age, high school dropout, no where to go. didn't choose to abort. found myself a way to get working, taking odd jobs because i had a basic set of values that i think is missing in many instances among a lot of men. we were taught work hard, play by the rules, take care of your responsibilities. and give back. and so this discussion just can't be about unwed mothers. it's got to be about unwed fathers. and how do we get beyond the mistake of having a

, 15 african-americans, and 13 asian americans. by comparison, the class of 2013, which was inducted in 2009, was comprised of only 15.5% minorities and previous classes have been even less diverse. during my tenure as chairman of the subcommittee on coast guard and maritime transportation, i've held four hearings in the subcommittee specifically to examine diversity in the coast guard and particularly the decline in diversity at the academy. over the past year, the academy has implemented new outreach initiatives in diverse communities that have enabled the coast guard to reach students who are qualified to attend the academy and eager to serve our great nation. but who have likely been unaware that the coast guard academy even economisted -- existed. these efforts are helping ensure that the coast guard academy is no longer our best kept secret in higher education. coast guard academy's diligent recruitment efforts have yielded great results. this success reflects the commitment of the entire service to expanding diversity at all

they say it's an insult to working americans and so forth. but that's the kind of debate that we're seeing right now. gloria: the democrats say it stimulates the economy, right? >> they do. gloria: that the unemployment benefits are spent immediately. >> they say it is one of the most stimulative things you can do because people who don't have much money get an infusion and spend it on things they need right away. >> to be fair to the republican argument, don't some democratic economists, larry somers in his past life, have said that there is some disincentive effect. they just think it's outweighed by the stimulative effect of this money. and the fact that the job market is so weak that that's more important than deterring some people -- >> it's this ongoing debate. to me it reminiscent of debates we've heard since the 1980's about welfare and does that encourage people to sit on thrire hands rather than do anything. it shows you how volatile these issues are. the debate on the senate floor was really pretty emotional about this. you had tom

is that what americans can expect? >> i think what they can expect from these reforms is much more assessable, much more simple, much clearer disclosure about the terms in which they can borrow to finance education for their children, borrow to finance a home and a car and credit card much more clear transparent simple disclosure than they had over the past several decades and more informing about the risks you take in investing. that's a sensible thing for the government to do. now, of course you need people to be able to make responsible decisions. we can't make those decisions for those individuals. they have to take that responsibility themselves. >> hasn't the world changed in the markets that you can't expect to get the kind of return on investment that you've enjoyed for so many years? >> it's hard to know. what you want people doing is making better decisions and more careful decisions about how much income they spend and how much they save and what they use the savings for and how much they borrow. i think the

american citizens to take the. of these farm workers wouldn't be surprised if after a day or two they find themselves appreciating those who are taking the jobs we stop by the unemployment office to find out if people who are out of work would be willing to take the job of an immigrant farm worker if a farmer came up to. do you want to job here as a farmer. and now. we give them do that do gardening in my own house if i had a job that got me out there got me some exercise but no heavy lifting was at least eleven dollars an hour i would take it but i doubt that it's usually a lot of heavy lifting it doesn't pay too much there farmers and they're willing to pay slave labor of course they have an advantage conservative radio host tony katz is among the growing number of supporters immigration crackdown he thinks the threat to the u.s. isn't just financial it over this is about people who may be coming with diseases we've already eradicated bring them back into the united states america has paid a significant price bec

agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a form based workforce that's making sure that these strawberries make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans have to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors. the average american could step in their shoes even for a day. to hire a. white person is too hard. i haven't seen any american here working here in the fields said you'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberries he fills in now in an effort to employ out of work americans and obviously to prove a point the united farm workers union is embodied in american citizens to take the jobs of these farm workers wouldn'

some of bin laden killing american citizens and what we have here somehow is making use of these leaked documents to make a case that pakistan is not playing straight in this war in this so-called war against terror and that's of course wrong what i see is and i have proof for that and i've written three books on it america itself is playing a double game and it's forcing pakistan to play this double game alongside america that's what's going on right now and all the rest of this is a dirty lie and we should not believe anything of it. war veteran groups in the u.s. are becoming increasingly angry over what they claim are broken government promises they say the country they fought for has turned its back on them leaving many out on the street the want to speak with some of them. beyond san diego's picturesque. ugly truth a wounded military community neglected by the very nation to defend. the mentally able to do this country. and i came home to be medicated and pushed it was. morally ethically unjust like a monster we're creating when our bad i think. about not just. the service people

one man with a car could wage war on the united states ironically with an american truck. there is one man who knows a lot about lebanese car bombs. mahmoud. a top expert who defused does. christian car bombs palestinian car bombs muslim car. and the long drawn out. and then i was the only expert who was dismantling. and then his adversaries decided to target him. especially for me. it was activated. and as soon as i touch on the. february fourteenth two thousand and five the former lebanese prime minister hariri presidential cavalcade was destroyed. on. camera captured the vehicle this white truck. in the traffic. the bomb went off. really was one of the world's richest man a billionaire. his mercedes was armored to the hilt. the best protection level there is. truly the root is the heart of the modern car. were developed on the streets. of the war we saw. dozens of. crossing the border into. and it was only a matter of time before a car bomb started on. a. car bombing might have become a lebanese national custom but the lebanese never created the car bomb. like a lot of

we raised a flag the american flag on the surface of the moon congrats. i really believe that the soviet union drove the us to the moon. in our day and we did that in the sixty's and i think it was because there was serious competition between the two countries. didn't get to see strong take the first step on the lunar surface he died in one nine hundred sixty six during summer. his anonymity died with him and his identity was finally defied triggering a wave of the. streets when. monuments and plaques were unveiled in his own even room said. that he never realized all the work could be done by just one person. my father liked to say that people can travel into space and issued by train he was absolutely sure that outer space was not empty and people must live and work there he said you know. could. see americans and russians in space together. in one hundred seventy five the so he. put an end to the space race. i'm approaching so you. less than five meters. three meters. i like chocolate so. most of all like the trickle of a lot of chocolates along this.

these are americans who have spent their entire lives working, they're americans who want to work, who are out every single day looking for an opportunity to work. they're not lazey, they're not shiftless and they won't become lazy by receiving unemployment benefits. the misperception bun employment is great but unemployment -- about unemployment is great but unemployment is insurance. take louise. she paid into the uninsurance compensation fund for 28 years and now she wants to draw on the insurance that she'd paid into. americans understand that. it's an insurance funds. people draw on it. and you know what they're doing with than you employment, mr. speaker? they're buying eggs and bread and cereal. they're paying their rent and their mortgage, they're taking care of their children, they're paying their utility bills. it's money that's going directly back into the economy. now, republicans in both chambers and especially these days in the united states senate are keeping busy by arguing that we neither have the resources nor sufficient reason to extend unemployment benefits to these

he was as slave african- americans. he figured out how to disassemble the plaster model by attaching an iron hook to the statute's head and lifting the top section until a hairline crack appeared. the crack indicated where the joints were located and he then repeated the operation until the five different sections of the statue were discovered. we know about him today because the son of the foundry owner share of the story with historians back in 1869. it describes filphilip reid hasn expert and highly esteemed by all who knew him. we stand here today not only because of him, but for other enslaved african americans like him who worked tirelessly to sacrifice in the face of strife. these plaques in their own right will serve as a symbol of their sacrifice, and will be seen by visitors to enter the building for evermore. in closing, i would like to thank the members of the slave labor task force. and senator chambliss that was an original cosponsor of the legislation to honor the enslaved flavors. this incredible sacrifi

accent and the american people will take an american accent in a better way that's right well george bush proved that you could fool the american people into accepting anything if you sent a dummy and he sounded deep south enough and texas enough so he said look george bush we're going to completely destroy your economy and you're now left with nothing and everyone bought into it now you've got tony hayward's got that kind of british accent and of course everyone's like oh no it's foreign we don't accept it so they put in an american what's his name dudley robert dudley robert dudley so he'll get on there for b.p. and say well the girl goes completely destroy what we totally eviscerated a big body you economy and we're occupying your country and you know a bunch of peasants now but does american accent suits ok and i want to be like. peasants i feel like i could have a beer with him. well this however you know they're going to have an american accent to explain to the population of america which is suddenly interested in b.p.'s role in the release of the lockerbie bomber but for. the

we are americans. we have american problems. not just with the black community. those are problems i see with the mirn community. educational inequality. problems with unemployment. all that stuff. we share that. when we can focus on that and quit trying to segregate everything we can take another step forward with race relations. >> al with is that right? >> i think that if we are realistic and say that the progress made was made because people struggled to make that progress, that we should engage in continuing, at this time, in the struggle to make that happen. i think that if we're honest we would have to say if a white child, a black child and a latino and asian child were born tonight they will not face the same life in terms of hrk and education. we've got to fight until they do. it's a lot better than it was 40 years ago but it's not equal and i don't need marx to tell me that. i fight for the right for people to be wrong. >> larry: thank you all very much. another chapter in america's long and disturbing racial history. >>> speaking of that, hugh hefner

american presidents thank you very much for sitting down to speak. this time that you have been on an on line campaign to prosecute george w. bush and members of his administration for what you call violations of international law domestic law the constitution why have you not given all this because the administration of george w. bush was particularly lawless i don't think there's ever been a time in american history when we had the highest officials in government so flagrantly break the law and show no respect at all for the rule of law they just created laws just out of whole cloth they created laws in secret behind closed doors that were in them a cold to american democracy. and shameful to our international image some of those laws for instance redefined torture so that it made it ok for the c.i. a to brutalize prisoners and detainees. supposedly even doing it legally for instance allowing the waterboarding to be done legally one in fact it is a violation of international law and u.s. law but it didn't matter provided that they did these laws in

the american original. for over two decades, for the l >>> issue one, the american dream. >> the economic expansion that began in the middle of last year is proceeding at a moderate pace. supported by monetary policies. we will and fiscal policies. we will continue. >> america is recession weary. now in its third year since the meltdown and more bad news this week, item, jobs vanish. employment last month dropped 301,000 workers. item, banks busted. 96 banks have shut down so far this year on track for the highest number in 18 years. item, markets wobble. the dow fell 6.6% this year. the s and p has dropped 5.0%. item, confidence plunges in june. from 62.7 to 52.9 on the comforts board index. 10 points in one month. item, retail sales, manufacturing, auto making. all down. >>> little wonder that the fourth annual metlife study of the american dream shows that the percentage of americans who believe the u.s. economy will be the sa or worsthan last year is 67%. two out of three people, which is consistent wit

by that most americans agree with that. it is a complicated question, but to make it a simple based on very basic principles of accountability. it is something our federal government is absolutely failing to do. congress has pointed this down the road and is being held hostage by this comprehensive immigration reform instead of dealing with things we know we can agree upon now. border enforcement should be at the top of that list. there are too many interests that want to see amnesty. if you look at the big picture, people want to change the equation as to who gets to vote in this country. there are many interests that want to see felons vote, illegal aliens, and i want to open it up to puerto rico and other types of places that truly change the demographic and two votes in this country. that would have severe impact on who we are as a nation. i don't want to ramble on but what i would like to do is answer some questions and thank you for having me here. i appreciate it. >> we do have [applause] ] questions.
