caller: hello, i think joe biden is doing a fine job. i think he brings an incredible amount of experience. i do not think he is running the show. some people like me think that dick cheney did that in the past. he is not politically correct in his speaking because he is too honest. that is probably why i really like him. other than that, i think obama is one of the smartest politicians to come along and he did pick him. host: next up is destin, fla. on our independent line. caller: thank you for taking my call. joe biden disturbs me. i think he has a foot-in-mouth disease. the only thing that sets him up good is it judge sotomayor who is roman catholic, does not believe in abortion -- i think that will help. as far as health care, social security is going broke. medicare is going broke. where is the money going to come from? i would love for someone to answer that question. as far as taxes go, hold on to your wallet, everybody. host: linda, i wonder response to more of what this historian writes. comparing the vice president to the bask

joe beimel who has been throwing the ball as well, it doesn't matter. whoever can get the final 27th out, that is what manny acta needs. >> byron: thank you. rob dibble up in the booth calling the game. ray, the victory at 3-2 breaks a losing skid there. but the offense ultimately has to make a play because the pitchers set it up and they got the clutch play to get it done. >> ray: well as don sutton said for 3 years here, it is the pitcher's job to keep you from losing and it is the offense's job to win ballgames. our pitchers are keeping us from losing because they are keeping us in every ballgame. it is just the offense has been a little short. today, we didn't have the five hits through the 6th inning. we end up with 9. but three runs. we have been averaging 5 coming into the last 10 or 12 days. but the offense will pick back up. it is just the way baseball is. hills and valleys. >> byron: john lannan is a steady performer. to come complete game against the mets. another quality start against the reds. >> ray: res throwing the ball so -- he is throw

be with joe tydings at the very end. i have never forgotten that lesson and i hope i never will. my friend joe lieberman was here and i was had hartford the night that he lost his primary because i wanted to be with him because he was my friend and he's given so much to this country and, thank god, he was able to win that election and come back to t the u.s. senate. but i learned that lesson from steny hoyer. those who know me best know that i'm not one to shy away from a fig fight. ginger says i'm downright combative. lord knows i'm a democrat. i have never voted for a republican in my life and i probably never will. but i'm disgusted with the polarization and incivility that has come to define our politics and i deeply believe that the daunting challenges that president obama faces and america faces today require a transformation transformational post-partisan solutions that one party alone cannot produce. history has shown time after time the transformational reforms most often come with bipartisan support. social sec

. >> bob: and joe beimel takes over. he'll be the sixth flannels pitcher of the night. -- nationals pitcher of the night. the toronto blue jays in extra innings, 4-3, 1-2 on the road. i'm too frightened to give you the nationals ledger on that one. 0-8. 0-8 and seven of those at home. i'm not sure i ever watched part of a team going 0-7 at home where you have the final at-bat in extra innings. that's unbelievable. here is the first pitch strike to scott rolen. top of the 10th under way. >> rob: hey, it's contagious. you start playing well, you don't want to be the guy that fails. young pitchers have start this had deal going on the road trip and continued into this home stand. >> bob: right in there. a lot of those extra inning games were see saw affairs, high-scoring games where you score, give it up, go back ahead, give it up. this is a whole different kind of thing here. off-speed pitch away. nick johnson does it alone for the first out. 78 miles an hour on that 0-2 pitch. >> bob: he was bringing -- >> rob: he was bri

then joe beimel comes and puts the side back out. we have not been able to board too many leaps this year and feel real good about the flight. >> uh-huh. >> how about beimel, only throwing eight pitches and gets his first save of the year. you know, lost in that 8th inning was the fact that zimmerman really hustled down the line to get to first base and keep the inning going, too. >> and manny said -- they play hard. the team plays hard. just because you maker reports and, sometimes, you don't cover the bases, those are mental mistakes. those guys go out and give total effort, no doubt about it. styles, i think they are trying too hard but when you hit a ground ball with the bases loaded, if there is also going to be a time where you bust your tail, today is the time. >> i think there was a great article about manny acta. they fight, they scrap, they don't give up and there has to be good things just around the corner for this club. you've got to like the hustle of the young guys, the pitching staff has come along. so a great article

manager joe girardi comes out. gardner is carted off. the nationals win 3-0. the nats are the second worst team to shut out the yankees and the worst to win a series from the yankees in new york. here are notable rain delays that compare to the yankees' 5:26 delay. >> the phillies have put left fielder raul ibanez on the d.l. with a groin injury. in his first season in philadelphia, the 37-year-old ibanez began the day second in the national league with 22 home runs and 59 r.b.i.'s. john mabry jr. will take his place on the roster. blue jays going for a three-game sweep of the phils, 7-7 game, pinch-hitter rod barajas coming through in the pinch -- the former philly burning his old team with a solo home run to straightaway center and the jays win by the final of 8-7. jays finish off the sweep, the phils are a major league best 23-9 on the road but only 13-19 at home.

>> frank had asked joe early about meeting a president. brian talked about this and when you need a president or head of state, i think of me kill gorbachev, it does not matter what your politics are or the issues of the day. there's something very, almost sacred, in american politics. this is the face of american democracy. it is very odd-inspiring. you have to get over that if you have asked questions and ask questions matter what your situation is, it is always very memorable >> >> when you meet them, you get an impression. i remember meeting bill clinton out in oklahoma at the five this year anniversary of the oklahoma city bombing. there is a huge crowd out there. most of them were probably republican. he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hands. when he was done, there were 80- year-old grandmother's to reach out and touch him and shake his hand. you get to understand that no matter what you think of him politically, the appeal of a really strong, charismatic leader. >> 6 use the term but it is the lesser known people, the n

he was 524 years of age then, manager joe maddon. he is now in his 30th year in professional baseball, 16th in the major league. he managed the angels before this. manager of the year last year. and he really only managed the angels part of three different years when different managers were dismissed. as a player, he was a catcher who never got above a ball. and a lot of great baseball guys don't. >> rob: well, jim hickey, the pitching coach, he was the mastermind in houston for all those great pitching years that got them to the world series. dave martinez was on my team in cincinnati for many years, actually a former montreal expo that was a pain in my neck when he was hitting. excellent centerfielder, good hitter. they have some guys and then don zimmer. >> bob: he is still a senior baseball advisor to this ball club in his 64th year, 51st in the major league. so this is not just a bunch of people running around without a plan down here. the tampa bay rays can win the american league pennant playing in the same division with bosto

next i would like introduce joe jones. joe has had some struggles in life. but now running one of our nation's best fatherhood program. >> thank you, first of all, let me thank president barack obama for his leadership in talking about responsible fatherhood and healthy families. our nation's children deserve having both parents. and it's difficult, i am pleased to represent the urban families in baltimore and the leadership group. and most importantly, i want to recognize my wife, deborah. put your hand up please. because -- [applause] my mom and dad split when i was nine years old. and at age 13 not having the ability to think through that difficulty, i succumbed to problems and did drugs and had a child out of wedlock who i am not responsible for. that kid is doing great, but not because of me. and i at the end of a one-year stay of drug treatment. i met my wife and i gave her a rose and she wouldn't talk to me. and then decided to have a relationship with me and have a stepchild and then a child together. and although i had that system, and we can help w

actually, joe west is not happy, telling joe maddon something about it. >> bob: there is a strobe light just beyond the pool in right center where the ray is swimming. it's either that. >> rob: i think that's what it is. >> bob: it's either that or people taking pictures out there and their flash bulb are popping up toward home plate. it's not right in the hitter's line of sight, but a right handed batter, if you look just off center, out there, that's the people taking pictures of the ray. >> rob: how can you not take pictures of those cute little rays? >> bob: they are adorable. >> rob: so if it the player gets blinded and strikes out and he plays for your home team? >> bob: i bet the marketing department never thought of that one. they could put a sign that says, flash photography only if you are facing away from the field. >> rob: or when the owe bone. is up. >> bob: pen california bounced up the middle -- peqa bounced up the middle his first time out. and the nationals -- 0-2, don't make it too good. that's big breaking ball. right off the table. the rays get an unearned run. it's

that broadcast pretty much spelled the end of joe mccarthy. earlier that year you had had the documentary that ed had it done. you have the army in germany or the meetings and in the final part of it -- he died within two years. he was dead. oddly enough, when faced the nation had its anniversary, one of the letters of congratulations came from joe mccarthy. he said he always watched the show and always enjoyed it. host: one of the photographs. you took this -- let's listen to this caller. caller: i'm doing fine, probably close to your age and them a small businessman. i watch your show religiously. i am a little dismayed. the last couple of years the press has kind of gone leaning with what ever it ideology is in effect. i notice there has been little coverage of the stimulus package which will either make or break this recession. bring it to term limits a lot faster. -- a lot faster if it had been done progressively. there is little press for the small businessmen. everyone says 70% of the jobs out there are from the small business sector. w

next tuesday, it's the amateur draft and joe jordan and his staff very busy. jordan is about to go through his fifth draft as the orioles scouting director and he already succeeded because four of his selections are currently on the orioles' major league roster. i spoke to joe jordan at the ballpark and asked him his philosophy and the philosophy of the scouts when they go scouring the country looking for talent. >> i told the staff from the day i came in here that we're going to look for at leads, we're going to look for tools, for those two things and also guys that are baseball players. >> jim: you have the fifth pick which means only four players will be gone. we pretty much know who is going to be number 1. that leaves three other players. will you line it up with your staff, 1, 2, 3, 4, and the other four are gone, that's how pick or to you adjust when he gets to you. >> no, we'll line up the spot. the top player on the board, we'll take. absolutely. you know, you need some flexibility when you get down in a little bit but that high, that's what we are d

your leadership, joe, has been critical on this. i'm grateful to you and your team for helping to coordinate between all of the agencies because there are a lot of moving parts. on friday we learned that we had lost an additional 340,000 jobs in the month of may. that was far less than expected, but it is still too many. that means that there are families who are still losing not only their jobs, but may be losing their homes, finding themselves under extraordinary financial straits. it is a reminder we are still in the middle of a very deep recession that was years in the making, and it will take a considerable amount of time for us to pull out of. having said that, this was of the fewest number of jobs that we have lost in about eight months. so it is about half of the number loss of just a few months ago. and it is a sign we are moving in the right direction. the key is for us to build on the modest progress that has been made in the months to come. when we arrived here, we were confronting the most significant recession since th

they get that, joe biden is here and joe i want to talk to you. you had a terrific relationship but he fell on hard times and you talk about him as the most important guiding role. >> mr. president, i think this is great what you are doing, this is a big deal. the president said that fathers make mistakes and i made my share. my father said there is a mistake that a father shouldn't make, to communicate to their child that there is total unconditional love. and it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor or smart or handsome or not. it doesn't matter. kids need love. and as a single parent, mr. president, i did that having two sons as evan knows and my mom has an expression, and she said, i can hear her when i was a kid, saying it to her peers. she said, be careful how you treat your children, you may need them some day. and i want to tell you, the president knows my sons and daughter, it doesn't change, the happiest thing in the world is being a father. this day my 40-year-old son is attorney in state of delaware and my 29-year-old son and my daugh

bush and joe scarborough. i think george bush have more concerns that you're then me and sure enough republicans lost, lost control and at that point george w. bush had his road to damascus moment or he did what i was suggesting and send more troops. and then he started criticize same big government spending. but it was too late. i think we have to tell the truth. and i personally like george w. bush and i always have. but he read to the conservative movement. if anybody can dispute that i love to hear their arguments. >> host: we are going to talk more about a comeback of the republican party and what mr. obama is up to but we are going to break for just a moment, we will be back. and part two of our interview, are we a center-right country? >> guest: we are and we have always been a center-right country. always americans -- and there is this great line and i never forgot it in david stockman spoke about the triumph of politics when he was complaining about how the reagan revolution when off-track. i have nev

as joe girardi would say, it's the subway series, you're going to see strange things. we saw strange things tonight. mets made three errors in the second inning. the yankees score four in that inning. they have a 9-1 lead. bottom nine, c.c. sabathia, he went seven strong, one earned run, struck out eight. a-rod hit a home run. he passes mr. october, reggie jackson, for 11th on the all-time list. and brett gardner, a career high-five hits, including a home run, a triple. yankees up 9-1. if you're doing the math, 15-0, plus 9-1, 24-1 over the last -- well, it's pretty much almost two games. bottom of the ninth. yankees two outs away. highlights of this game when it goes final. >> the phillies are the ultimate paradox. they're a first place team that's dropped 10-12. they lead the n.l. in home runs, yet lead the majors in home runs allowed. they have the best road record in the majors, but can't win at home. and they have one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball, but they've benched jimmy rollins because he's batting .211. as cole hamels says "we're fortunate everyone

buck in that year's best picture win sper midnight cowboy." >> i'm joe buck from texas. >> rizzo from the bronx. >> i want to buy you a drink. what do you think of that? >> don't mind if i do. >> voight is a four-time academy award nominee and wouldn't best actor award in 1978 for his performance of vietnam veteran luke martin in "coming home." >> but you don't want to kill anybody here. have you enough ghosts to carry around." >> over the past four decades, he has build a reputation as both a leading man and a character actor with an extensive range. >> i am muhammad ali, you know? i apologize. i apologize to you on the air. your name is humid ali. you have a right to be called whatever you want. i apologize to you. >> he's appeared in several critically acclaimed films such as "deliverance" and runway train for which he received another academy award nomination. >> i'm right here. come on. going nowhere. come on. >> voight has always maintained high standards in his film work by choosing meaningful parts that promote worthy causes. >> mr. president with, all respect, sir, what you'

i spoke to joe at the ballpark and asked him his philosophy about the type of player that the orioles look for when they go into the draft. >> i told the staff the day i came in here that we're going to look for athlete, look for tools but look for those two things with guys that are also baseball players. >> you have the fifth pick which means only four players will be gone. >> uh-huh >> we pretty much know who going to be number 1. so that leaves three other players. will you line it up with your staff, one, two, three, four, five and the other guys gone, that's who you pick or do you readjust? >> no, we line up the first five. and they the first four gone, we get whoever is left. you need flexibility lower but that high, no. as far as the fifth pick is concerned, whoever is left in the top five, that's who we'll get. >> this will be your fifth draft. do you look at the success by the later round and guys that made an impact? right now, i'm thinking about a guy like a david hernandez who was a 16th round pick and, right now, he is in the big leagues. >> right. >> that's where you ma

and joe beimel, he looks like a reliever. all the chicks dig him. chicks like it when you get your job done. >> bob: debbi taylor has the night off so byron kerr is with us. you have more on this bullpen. >> byron: we talked about that bullpen and it's been a couple of weeks for them as the pitching coach is kind of settling in. so much is made in baseball about who is the middle reliever, who is the guy in the 7th inning. >> i know some guys like to know who is the closer, who is the relief guy. i think guys need to be prepared to pitch. i'm not saying that might not come about or manny and i have not talked about but i like to have guys ready to pitch. >> byron: mcdougal is getting close with that nice action that he had with the royals. >> bob: it doesn't hurt when mcdougal with throw mid-90s with all that sink. two years ago, the tampa bay rays won 66 games. last year, they won the american league pennant with 100. with young teams, folks, it can be done. ÷÷úp you don't do laundry at the beach. you salt-wash everything and let it bree

dave and joe. i know we don't exactly see eye-to-eye on the issue but hoping we can all work together. this committee passed a sizable renewable electricity mandate without any question to getting the renewable electricity to population centers. the strongest sun exposure in low population areas as well. it's centered in areas of high population, and there are inadequate high voltage lines to the areas with the most abundant sources of renewable power. if we're going to be serious about renewable power, we have to revamp the grid. to properly do so we'll have to block lawsuits from environmental groups that have increased costs and block much needed transmission lines. let's put it in perspective. according to doe it would cost 60 billion in new transmission lines to reach the 20% mark for wind power. it could cost perhaps as much as $400 billion in transmission lines. if we're serious we must block the lawsuits and make real investments in the needed infrastructure. good example of these lawsuits
