let's start with san antonio. what do they stand to gain with richard jefferson? >> yeah, i still don't think they win the west. i think the lakers the clear favorite out there. and houston and denver are still, you know, right there beneath them, but it makes the spurs a lot better, and if they can stay healthy, then you have to give them a decent chance at causing some trouble in the playoffs. you know, richard jefferson gives them now four solid players who can score the basketball. if manu ginobili and tony parker and tim duncan can be healthy, then i think this improves them a great deal. motivation in getting the veteran trio? >> the bucks, it's financial. many of those guys if not all of them may even be cut by the bucks because they simply traded them to get rid of richard jefferson's long-term contract, two years left on that one at big money and to get these expiring contracts. and it also clears up some room for them to resign their free agent charlie villanueva and sessions. for the bucks it was about money and staying young and resigning their bright

. >> san antonio, texas, john on the line for republicans. >> let me see if i can put it easy. no one in the country is complaining about the mess that the government make in tax dollars. no one complains about nothing congress does as far as taking money unto themselves. and they live quite well. these little companies like insurance companies who make money to pay, the people invest in their money and people return on the investment. people complain they shouldn't do this. we have the best healthcare industry in the world in america. why do people come here from england. they come here from canada. from australia, they come here. all over europe, come here. sure you have to pay for it. everything you have to pay for. get the government out of the way. this obituary for barker. >> i see a glaring need for two different issues. one healthcare reform. the other health insurance reform. they are two different things. you can't really inform the public and congress too about each issue until you separate the two. i wanted to talk about the health insurance area. i have been busy l

antonio who is helping form such units across the state of texas. huge challenges remain for us all. some governments have yet to respond for the call for effective law enforcement efforts. two out of every five countries have yet to achieve a single conviction of a human trafficker. our own report data showed for a second year that less than 10% of all convictions are for labor trafficking worldwide. labor trafficking is the largest form of trafficking in the world. all countries can do a better job and must do a better job of addressing forced labor also remaining vigilant against the scourge of the sec's traffickers. prosecution can be hit -- of the sex traffickers. abusers factor in fines as a cost of doing business. abuse workers are easily disposed of. instead of incorporating the effect of abuse and coercion, they often result in light sentences or incarceration of the victims. risks that the traffickers are willing to take. one important point in this year pose a report in a time of crisis, foreign workers are too often -- in this year's rep

let's go to market and san antonio. caller: quick question -- do you think any of the stuff going on would be possible if we had not gone into iraq? guest: good question, i really don't know. guest: that is a fascinating question. we do not know the answer. one of the theories behind bush going into iraq -- he said it. for 60 years we have been dealing with the autocrats in there and look what we have. so, let's try to empower the people. it has been a bloody mess in iraq. tentatively it seems to be turning better, though. we had that in lebanon as well. hezbollah was defeated. you had that -- is this an example for the people? i do not want to assert that it is, but the theory of bush's iraq was first to get democracy there in the belly of the arrogance of non-democratic released, and hopefully it will spread. maybe, maybe not. the store might be 10 years from now. guest: we took away the threat of iraq from iran which was their natural-born enemy, so in a way we helped iran. host: here is the editorial you have referr

on the democrat line, robert from san antonio, tx. caller: how're you doing? just a comment. the people involved in this situation -- alan greenspan, andrea mitchell, dianne feinstein, and even rupert murdoch. these people are taking their cue from a pack. host: on the democratic line, philadelphia, pennsylvania. caller: i echo what the first caller said. i think this is the pot calling the kettle black. let's face it -- who is a problem here? it is the congress. they have a lot of nerve. they set up this sham. we know it, with the deregulation. i am not going to blame it on mr. burton, but let's face it, the problem belongs to congress. they create the monster, then they call mr. bernanke on the hot seat and all he is doing -- he is running the show here. the financial show. but he is not responsible for what the bankers on wall street did, taking their cues from the deregulation of the congress. host: do you think there needs to be more regulation? is that what you think congress needs to do? caller: definitely caputo -- heavily. know that the bankers are still fighting it.

san antonio won that series. and it was the lowest field goal percentage since game 1 since 1951. >> coming up, plaxico burress and his lawyers are hoping he can play football this fall. we have a behind the scenes report on the play.

(announcer) gillette fusion's indicator strip fades to white when it may be time to change. fresh blade. better shave. >> welcome back. ten days after complaining about the uncertainty of the colts coaching staff, peyton manning said today he has a better understanding of the situation. here's the deal. two long time assistants who worked closely with manning all these years, offensive coordinator tom moore, and offensive line coach howard mud retired to make sure they could collect their pensions in a lump sum. the owner said he expects them to return as consultants, but in what role? colts began its three he-day mandatory mini camp. and the

next is san antonio, texas, katz run on our republican line. hi. >> caller: hi, how are you? >> host: fine, thanks. >> caller: i must say i've never been impressed with him. i think a person who never handled anything as a manager is kind of winging it, and i think it's unfortunate for our country. i think a person that walks in and gets voted for the economy should leave everything else aside until he recovers the economy. i don't believe that he is genuine when he tells us that he really wants to work on things. i think he came in with a preset agenda, and he is carrying it out, but it's not the agenda of the people, it's the agenda of obama. he should concentrate on doing what he said and what he got voted for which is to do everything that he can to help the economy. we all knew that the stimulus thing was not going to work. it wasn't meant to work. you know, we got robbed as a people, and we should demand that that stop because it's not going to make any difference. he did not mention that there were sources that said that if the stimulus didn't go by, that we would be b

host: on the republican line, jack from san antonio, texas. caller: have you heard discussion about the need for storage batteries? if they are going to experiment with wind and solar, it seems like you need to have a huge scale of the ability to store this energy when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow. also talking about thousands and thousands of miles of additional power lines to hook up the wind turbines. have you seen discussion along those lines at all? and the use of -- instead of uranium for nuclear energy. i & -- understand it is not as hazardous to dispose of. guest: i am not aware of the thoreum issue. but they're definitely needs upgrades. the administration recognizes that. they call a smart grid. it will take tremendous investment to get to those thrilling and different directions. unique natural gas plants to support the wind and solar, assuming people let you place it. as you may know, living where you are, most people may not know some of the largest petroleum producing states texas has twice the winds capacity
