i'm craig melvin. bitter cold tonight. that bitter cold continues akras the metro area and the wind has been making the temperatures outside downright dangerous. people who ventured out today, as you can see, dressed in layers along with big coats, gloves, hats and the wind chilled outside, made it feel like 10 degrees today. the wind, wind so -- it's been so intense it's causing trouble for air travelers. arriving flights at dulles of about 90 minutes. the high winds are causing delays for travelers at newark, kennedy, laguardia and boston's logan airport. let's go to chuck bell for the first forecast, chuck? >>> thank, craig, windy and cold weather. not just here in the metro washington area, but all the way up the east coast into as you said, new york city, hartford, providence and boston airport. the doppler radar shows we don't have snow to worry about here but snow showers pick up north of philadelphia and light to moderate snow for new york city. that's the reason for the delays at newark and laguardia and up into p

>> thank you, chairman craig. >> thank you. >> dr. elmendorf, thank you for coming back to us again. just a couple of quick questions. first, the president's council economic advisers has calculated that the excess cost and waste in the health care system is in access of $700 billion a year. at the new england health care institute has calculated that it throughout $850 billion a year. only one group and i think it's probably their number of former treasury secretary paul o'neill used because there coincident puts the number for excess cost and waste in the health care system annually at a trillion dollars figure. do you believe that those studies are in the general right order of magnitude? >> i think the things the right ballpark. i mean, as we noted in our letter to senator gregg and senator conrad in june, there's a widespread limning analyst at barney is not being used effectively. we spent a lot in those that don't. it's impossible to -- make an educated guess. certainly hundreds of billions of dollars. i think that's right. >>

our lead sponsor in the senate was larry craig of idaho. and idaho power was the main -- is the main utility in the state of idaho. and it got to the point in our legislative process where the legislative vehicle -- i remember -- i mentioned early on we inherit legislation and then that legislation in my opinion became refined and more effective over the years we were working on it. well, as that movement tack place, idaho power made a determination that it was no longer a piece of legislation. that was in line with their interests. and so you had a situation not only of one of our members being disgruntled and wanting to leave but it's also the key utility of our key senator sponsor and it's a credit to senator craig and his staff and the way that they handled it that it was a smooth exit. one that frankly was done with minimal disruption. and one that frankly, you know, idaho power continued to be not a direct participant but we engaged with them. we consulted with them. and i would like to think that they benefited from the resulting cha

[laughter] and i told them why i was doing it and i think people need to understand the reason why i am doing it, i don't get anything out of it. this would be a pay cut for me. the prices and less than fair and the amount they get on stage is usually less than there. the reality is the message has to get out there and i would risk every single thing that i do on a day-to-day basis to make sure somebody is actually supporting the people of the state of massachusetts because one might look at the taxes i pay, when i look to the taxes i pay at th

it is the one a lament of national power that potentially could yield craig payoff in as part of the will. the military people in the rich and get it and are doing it well, but we're not doing it well on the strategic or policy levels. or in washington. the final comment i will make -- makearab/israeli conflict. any talk of this sort used to focus -- it is an area for the state department has the lead. in the past the dod did devote a lot of time and thinking to. it is clear with more than two wars that the arab/israeli conflict does not loom large in the mind of all policy makers as it used to. it reminds me of a comment. it was in an interview with an israeli paper where the guy it stated that there has to be a moment when they understand they are a sideshow. the real global politics -- and that is a point for the driven home by admiral mike mullentoday. i look forward to discussing these and questions and answer time. >> just to add to both my colleagues -- on mike's last piont -- i was going to mention it myself. it also has implications in a military context. there are three pos

our lead sponsor in the senate was larry craig of idaho. and idaho power was the main -- is the main utility in the state of idaho. and it got to the point in our legislative process where the legislative vehicle -- i remember -- i mentioned early on we inherit legislation and then that legislation in my opinion became refined and more effective over the years we were working on it. well, as that movement tack place, idaho power made a determination that it was no longer a piece of legislation. that was in line with their interests. and so you had a situation not only of one of our members being disgruntled and wanting to leave but it's also the key utility of our key senator sponsor and it's a credit to senator craig and his staff and the way that they handled it that it was a smooth exit. one that frankly was done with minimal disruption. and one that frankly, you know, idaho power continued to be not a direct participant but we engaged with them. we consulted with them. and i would like to think that they benefited from the resulting cha

craig is there to communicate clearly to a variety of parties that there are still things that honduras has to do. >> can we go back to dimon? he said that the actions taken yesterday by the yemeni government address a specific area of concern and contributed to the embassies decision to reopen. is that another way of saying they neutralize the threat yesterday? >> there is an ongoing threat to and to american citizens in yemen. >> the specific threat because the embassy to closes down along with their of -- because of what happened yesterday? >> one aspect of the threat has been dealt with. based on the actions that yemenis have taken. >> the secretary said in her comments that at this london conference coming up at the end of the month, and even before then, that the u.s. and its partners who are trying to help yemen would put certain conditions and expectations -- that the yemeni government had to meet if in fact this assistance was continue -- was to continue to be forthcoming. can you be more than specific about those conditions? >> recall the challenge of yemen security within the

senator craig and senator conrad suggested for the responsibility to come up with a plan that would recede a guaranteed open approach in the house and the senate. it is hard to understand they understand why republicans would support the process and the commission would give them high eight -- have the votes to why the democratic leadership void embraces is beyond me and i don't think they would. >> you have one minute. >> one can imagine such a commission playing a constructive role and provide members of congress with the cover to come up with the kind of deal i talked about before. using pay go and related procedures have locked that in place. a powerful incentive as alan murray describes those before 1986 should not have passed but it did. and nobody wanted to take the blame. imagine a situation down the line when there is more momentum for the bipartisan commission to come up with a package that is credible and we could use the pay go rules to lock into place. >> two advertisements in one session. it is still available amazon.com. [laughter] very interesting. you have to have some sor

we heard testimony from fema director craig fugate for an hour and a half. the committee's objective today is to resolve with the very special needs of children during the prepared this, response, and recovery phase of disaster, and the extent to which current planning and programs either meat or fails the special needs. we're focusing on children for several reasons. children in most families are the focal point, and parents who cannot find an available school or day care center or access health care for children baby forced to relocate after a disaster -- may be forced to relocate after disaster or stay out of work force when they are badly needed to rebuild communities, starting with their own homes, churches, and places of worship. about half of the families include children, and 90% include a parent that is a member of the workforce. getting your work force back to work after a disaster is one of our primary goals. it seems to me to be very difficult if we are not doing our best to provide help and support during daylight hours and provide mental health

i was at a talk that don kirk gave yesterday about how kim dejung craig -- betrayed correk. first, i think it was fair to say that the summit did not meet anyone's expectations about the piece that was around a corner. i remember a man foster as saying the dmz was shifting from the front line to the front door for trade and cooperation. again, some of this may be looking at south korean politics, is it half empty or half full? i certainly see the harmful side. the very fact that it even exists. i think that these are more ambiguous achievements in terms of cash for the korean regime and a glimpse of four south koreans. it is a positive and tangible results from the summit. but as the some one who is married to a korean and in whose father died waiting what happened to his family in the north, very much away from -- aware of beeps family separation problem. it is a tragedy that more have not taken place more quickly because they are dying faster than they can arrange meetings. i have to believe that some reunions are better than none, even if they're very controlled. i think

he will be accompanied by fema administrator craig fugate. dr. shaw will be getting his second firsthand look at the u.s. operations there. he will meet with haitian officials as they did last saturday as well as the national partners and relief organizations to ensure if assistance is effectively coordinated on the ground. he will depart for said d'amico tonight and tomorrow morning, he will take military transport into haiti and among other things, plan to attend the funeral of the archbishop of for grins. -- port-au-prince. and early today, the united states ambassador ken merton and the secretary-general in haiti signed a statement of principles on field coordination between the u.s. in haiti. the u.s. government has the haitian earthquake response continues. the statement re reaffirms the primary responsibility of he before the response but notes the scale of the disaster and the urgency of the humanitarian relief requires a comprehensive and coordinated international response. the un is coordinating the international response consistent wit

craig, you are on the line. >> i really appreciate the sincerity. he seems to really get it. he seems to understand what everybody is thinking about. the one thing i want to reiterate is that we've got to unify this country. all of these battles are running the country. all of this bickering, let's just get together and work this out. let's get it all done. >> what did you think about the president's questions, morris? >> it was very useful. if there are any republicans out there to the watching how this works, it looked like the ultimate fix in match where the president was clean the fins of the other person insane, "please engage me. " walt reagan and tip o'neill did it quite well. ronald reagan had two terms in office. i hope the republicans are serious people who will engage the president. >> what about the tone of the president? is this different from his tongue in the past year -- is this different from his tone in the past year. your >> i think is finally realizing he is facing stiff opposition i would hope that the republicans will engage him point by point and line b

along with craig laughlin, i'm joe beninati. just about every way possible, this capitals team is add to go its win total at an accelerated rate. right now, it's six straight and counting. >> craig: yeah, real wins this past couple of week for this cams team. big wins over detroit, philadelphia and pittsburgh. they've outscored teams at over two goals a game on average in each game. so, they've been very solid offensively. ovie and the boys following through on all cylinders. 10 players with multi-point games. they've spread it out. the offense, they've got a lot of balance right now in their attack. the goalie is solid. nice save percentage of .927 who has ever been between the pipes and their power play and pk performing at a very high level and hence the six-game winning streak. >> joe: as we move deeper into the regular season and towards the playoffs, special teams become more prominent to a team's success. if you add up washington's power play percentage and pk percentage, then they're more than ok. >> craig: when do you,
