great victories over arizona and arizona state. and how about landry field? he may play on a seventh place team and win the player of the year? >> p.j.: he's been so consistent game in and game out. doesn't matter if he's at home or on the road. he's performed consistently. >> steve: i have seen the pac-10 conference all year long and i still think the national forecasters are judging it on what they did in november and december. the much better league now. >> p.j.: no question about it. in talking to herb sendek yesterday at practice -- vucevic, transition. they got the ball up the floor quickly and got an open look. herb was talking about starting. so many good players last year, six in the first round of the draft. he didn't get off to a good start in nonconference. that's how you set the tone they have been talking about all year. >> steve: shipp misses. usc rebounds. time-out, kevin o'neill. he does not like the path this game is going. >> p.j.: the quality of their defense is not there. a, they're giving up defensive rebounds. b, they're giving up open

against arizona. and it was effective. >> steve: surprised me a little bit. i thought ucla might suffer a little bit when tyler honeycutt fouled out. >> don: ben howland feels like maybe he has the ability to switch it up. whereas for the last month and half, he's been almost exclusively in that two-three zone. >> steve: tajuan porter in his final college game. gives it up. and a three-point basket by jamil wilson. the oregon ducks' season will end at 16-16. and they'll finish at 7-11. there's a chance they could be invited to the play in the cbi. you have to finish over .500 to be invited to the nit. >> don: it's over .500 for the nit. not at .500. >> steve: you have to be at least .500. >> don: speaking of the arizona people, they said, after their loss to ucla, they would absolutely play in the nit. probably not in any of the other tournaments. they would accept an nit bid if they were given one. . >> steve: so, they'll count it down at stap is also center. an impressive win for cal. when we were on a conference call with our executive producer, if califor

a few hours ago palin flying into arizona to tell arizona vote mccain. topic number one of course, health care. >> when it came to obama care, >> boo! >> by the way, i see today that fidel castro likes obama care, but we don't. doesn't that kind of tell you something? when it came to this, john fought against the government takeover of 1/6 of our economy and he told the president that transparency in the legislative process should be more than just another campaign promise in this case with obama, another campaign promise that has been so broken. >> it wasn't only the product it wasn't only 2 733 pages of government takeover of your health care it was the sleaze, it was the chicago- sleazey deal making, sausage making that went on behind closed doors in the speaker's office and harry reid's office and in the white house. >> greta: the former running mates went on the record together in tucson, arizona. nice to see both of you, and together again. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks greta. sorry you are not here the temperature is 73° here in tucson, t

arizona in the last 10 years has become a killing field. we have now found the bodies of those to 2000 migrants. this is just in southern arizona since the border enforcement was stepped up. it goes back to 1994 when the federal government decided to seal a v-victor been crossings in san diego and in el paso because so many migrants were pouring through. part of it goes back to nafta. when we made our north american free trade agreement, the united states started selling very cheap and some of the poorest parts of mexico in southern mexico, displacing what are probably millions of compensating those are on their land to war are ready living a marginal existence. they started flooding the borders in the united states and it became a political problem so the federal government under clinton sealed up those urban crossings. the thinking was, if you took care of urban crossings you would take care of illegal immigration. and i have a "map from doris meissner who was the commission of the ins back in those days. she said, we did believe geograph

republicans and most arizona conservatives are happy to say john, thanks for your service. let's welcome you home and have a consistent con sifrtive in the u.s. senate. first of all, the tax cuts i helped write both in 2001 and 2003, john mccain opposed, calling them tax cuts for the rich, voting against both. sounding more like john kerry. >> isn't that because he's a fiscal conservative? >> no. actually, no. as we know, that was revisionist history to repackage the set of expectations for the presidential campaign in 2008. we can also point out more revisionism where john has suddenly embraced those cuts and wants to see them continued. we certainly welcome a conversion, but i think most arizona conservatives are skeptical that we would see john mccain in a fifth term. as you pointed out, he relishes the role of the maverick. now, in this primary, we'll see republicans and independent conservatives decide whether or not they want to send john mccain back for a six-year farewell tour in the united states senate or send a new senator who would be a consistent conservative.

he has not stopped fighting for you, arizona, nor for the rest of country.ç he got right back to work when the campaign was over. he didn't take a break, he didn't hang his head. he got right back to workç. and on the first day back in congress he introduced legislationet pieces of policy that was just the start of his continued good service for this great state. and that doesn't sound like he, being part of the party of no, instead sounds hraoeulike john is leading the party of ideas and standing up for time-tested truths. but, john, if you think about it, what is wrong of being accused of being the party of no we you consider what obama, pelosi and reid are trying to do to the country. let's become the party not just of no but, hell no! i thank god for john mccain. he is standing up for the time tested truths that made this country the greatest country on earth and a country we are so proud to be part of. we are always proud to be americans and we are not going to apologize for being proud to be americans. he is standing up for time tested truths. he

what arizona territory was like. there's so much more to the story than i ever would have guessed and there's so many people who have very strong opinions about all of it and at least half of them no matter what i write will decide i'm an idiot and probably evil besides. but that's what makes it fun. there's so much more to learn in this story than i had originally thought. >> and yes, sir, one final question. >> yes. this is for jeff also. ever since the 1920s people have been writing books about tombstone and i know you had to approach a lot of authors and researchers. some of whom don't quite agree with the other ones. and how did you manage that? how did you get to be able to talk to all those people? >> my rule is always that i'll talk to anyone who might have useful information. i've had a couple of people say well, if you talk to so-and-so then i won't talk toi. and my response is always well, then i'm sorry you and i aren't going to get a chance to talk. there are many strong opinions in this field. and hampt

the gentleman from arizona. mr. grijalva: thank you very much, madam speaker. i have some speakers i would like to yield time to. part of the process we also see today that we are going to experience today and experience them for a while is an effort on the part of my colleagues across the aisle to erase history. and to assume that everything that we are doing today is somehow misconstrued to increase the deficit and that it is a government takeover that is not bipartisanship. and we are at this place to take corrective steps legislatively, including this legislation, because we are working on a history, a history of deficit spending, a history of no priorities, and a history that although people want to eraise it from memory is there, and this is the reason that we are in the situation that we are right now. in terms of conspiracies, in terms of this legislation, the american camp association endorsed it, the national trust for public -- historic preservation endorsed it, the boys and girls club endorsed it, girl s

more arizona license plates during the summer than any other state probably. i love tucson in part because it is a classic in typical western city, vibrant, forward-looking, fast-growing, new and surrounded entirely by both envy and public so, you know, a few days ago i was up in the national forest and in the national park and i'm going to make a case this afternoon that you owe some of this huge bit of public land that surrounds your town, that surrounds most western towns to this fire that happened 100 years ago this year. now, i'm attracted to these collisions of human beings and nature. i'm attracted to the sort of natural drama that's inherent whenever we human beings think that we can overcome nature. my last book was on the dust bowl called "the worst hard time" and i was attracted to that because no one had ever seen anything like this before. no one had seen the earth turned inside out and no one had seen a time when you literally had mountains of earth 5,000 feet high, 100 miles wide moving toward people and blotting out the sun and i like the sort

ucla and arizona. oregon state/washington here at oregon state/washington here at the pacific life pac-10 >> the acura halftime report executing the three on one fast break to perfection with capers ending it with a big jam. but his team trail the ducks by five. they lost two games to oregon during the regular season. michael aefs and miles here in the staples center. miles, what are you looking forward to? what does washington state have to do to turn this around? >> washington state has to cut down on the turnovers. they had 11 first half turnovers what led to oregon's ten transition points. they need to get klay thompson involved. he had eight early points. but then for the oregon ducks they need to continue to find tajuan porter. he's had ten shot attempts already for his 11 points. >> it seems like a momentum change. i guess whoever gets the first momentum late will probably pull in one out? >> absolutely. but i think oregon's experience and their zone defense is giving them problems. >> they've p

knocked off arizona. as reeves nelson had 19 points and 10 rebounds. >> don: two good games later on tonight. looking forward to arizona state/stanford. and washington state. the other two teams playing free and open. they got to win the whole thing to get to the ncaa tournament. that's what makes this pacific life pac-10 tournament every year. the unexpected seems to happen a lot. >> don: cal's last title was 1960, when pete newell led his team to a 28-2 record and ended up runner-up for the national title. >> don: first regular-season title in 50 years? >> steve: jason kidd and kevin johnson. >> don: that's kind of why i say that. they have had good players. >> steve: it goes out of bounds. oregon staying in it. they're only down by eight. debt spite the outstanding shooting by oregon early. e're tingina. fno! so whoot in ana. f i hate f u go he e pr. st makeppen did ion itilm .. pariquir rids? scoo who whare g veh. dir.. be bit. i wa bachina . bu ght'ht.. the new inationa business class. only on americ

house with us now, representative john shadegg from arizona, appreciate your time this morning. should there be health care legislation? caller -- guest: absolutely. there are a lot of things wrong with the system. it delivers quality care, but too few people are not getting care. it has some major flaws. my older sister with breast cancer is trapped in a pre- existing situation, where they will not covered her. second, the president is absolutely right. the cost of health care is going up too quickly compared to the rest of the economy. we want to stop that from happening. we need legislation dealing with the health care system. host: your side of the aisle says to start over and do it from square one. what should we do? guest: i have written a couple of bills from square one, like in 1996 when we were dealing with the patient's bill of rights. the main thing that you have to do is look at how we restrain costs and identify some of the problems. personally i believe that the problem of cost is driven by the fact that the health insurance companies in america do not have to comp

what happened in arizona today was not typical. police in phoenix tried to pull or a suspicious pickup. the driver stepped on the gas. a helicopter affiliate was overhead for the action. >> at times he was going about 90 miles per hour. then police decided to back off when he was kind of getting in the residential neighborhoods. they were suspicious of something in the back of his truck. from what i can tell, this is an f-150. it looks like it's silver or white. and in the back of the pickup truck it looks like there's plywood. anyways, the chase then continued at 80 or 90 miles per hour. luckily, no one has been hurt. there has been no accidents in this, but the police have since pulled off. and you can see he's continuing to go, just driving around in these residential neighborhoods. police have backed off. at this point, we all know where he is. so, so far he's not getting away. it looks like he's starting to abey -- well, no, he just blew a stop sign right there. everybody is working together up here so that he doesn't know tha

she is live in tucson, arizona tonight. anita, it's great to see you. she had been critical a number of times. very openly, including on this network of the way the campaign was run. today, rocking the leather, no tensions. >> yeah. she was rocking that leather, shep. you are right. no tension today. it's as if they were back in the hay day of the campaign. she had a lot of praise for senator mccain. she called him a true american hero. she joked with him about being a con train in washington. >> he could win the talents and the debate portion of any pageant. but nobody is ever going to dub miss con congenialality. thought out of the washington elite. we should be thankful for that >> the problem for senator mccain is some people say he is too congenial with democrats when documents to issues like immigration. shep? >> shepard: can you explain the strategy of bringing in sarah palin? >> well, sarah palin is very popular with those conservative voters that senator mccain had some trouble with sometimes. as you mentioned up top, he is facing a serious cha

i would say to my friend from arizona. i would also say to my friend from arizona, to argue against eliminating discrimination against pre-existing conditions, which is what i thought i heard you say, which touched pretty much everybody's life in america, somebody either a close friend, a family member, a neighbor of everybody in this chamber today, whether on the floor or in the gallery, has somebody who they know closely has a pre-existing condition. and that is something that has to be addressed. mr. flake: will the gentleman yield? mr. perlmutter: not yet. i appreciate him coming up here to talk to us about health insurance premiums which are constantly on the rise. we got to deal with folks who suffer pre-existing conditions and can't find assistance otherwise when it comes to their health insurance. personally, and i have said many times, that i think it's a violation of the 14th amendment, the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, by not allowing people to have equal access to insurance. and part of what wa

and we saw that today in arizona. now, if palin can get those tea party voters there to support mccain, what does that mean? that means republicans may go into this election in a lot of districts like you were just looking at up there united. this could be the sarah palin we had in the campaign that energized those folk but was people had doubts about her, maybe they won't have those doubt. sarah palin with the great taste and no calories. >> it's sad to see john mccain driven out of the republican party, being challenged inside the republican party because the republican party's left him and they are moving toward the extreme of the tea party when the independent maverick voice like mccain is challenged in the republican party we've got to question where the republican party's moving. >> let's spend a minute on the white house strategy. the president's on the road next week, he's going to sign the health care bill in northern virginia, he's going to maine for a health care event, out traveling. they're trying to say,

neither does the state of arizona nor most of the other states. that doesn't mean we can't do something for health care, but this is not the right way to do it. the other thing i wanted to say it in intimacy we have a law called a sunshine law. as mayor i could not discuss with other members outside a public meeting, totally transparent, any city business. so the camera was on or it was an open meeting. every single thing we had. was it curver some and hard to do -- was it cumbersome and hard to do? yes. this kind of thing did not happen. john, i woke up on december 24 when the senate voted on this and i knew what was in there and i told my wife, i had worked very hard to gain my reputation throughout the years as a physician and i was very proud to be a member of the u.s. congress. it made me ashamed to be a part of an organization that would cut a deal like this, a back room deal like this. i yield back. mr. shadegg: well, i think you make a fascinating point. clearly the american people get it. they tpwhreeb in -- they believe that the health c

i would like to start just by thinking the city of tucson, the university of arizona, the arizona daily star, every volunteer, every to zonian, every southern arizona citizen who has made me as an author and all of us as authors feel so welcome. you have done an extraordinary job with the tucson festival of books. it is an incredible achievement. it is an incredible achievement. an extraordinary achievement in today's economic climate. you should not be prouder of yourselves as a region. thank you. thank you so much. i have one other thanks to extend. as tom mentioned, i served in iraq. as tom alluded to, i was wounded in iraq. i had a close encounter with some shrapnel that left me with a little bit of shrapnel in my job. every time i open my mouth to wide my jaw herds, which is a pretty useful want to have. [laughter] as wounds go. i am standing up here following in the footsteps as a transitioning warrior to writer in some other issues and somebody who has transitioned from the military into being a citizen. as many of you know, and as of those of you who have known veterans who have

john mccain is in trouble in arizona. so much trouble, today he was forced to call in reenforcements. his old running mate sarah palin. our own lee cowan is in tucson for us tonight. lee, good evening. >> reporter: well, good evening, brian. as political reunions go this was awkward as the two haven't spoken all that much in the last year and a half or so. sarah palin seemed to be trying to do the best not to upstage her former boss, all the while knowing it was in large part her this crowd came to see. it's been 16 months since they shared a campaign stage. some things never change. >> we're going to take it on on november 10th when we take control of the house and the senate. >> reporter: although the podium and signs were john mccain's, it was sarah palin who stole the spotlight. >> arizona, do you love your freedom? >> reporter: she revelled in the opportunity to blast the administration. >> fidel castro likes obama care, but we don't like obama care. doesn't that kind of tell you something? >> reporter: and she drew

make anyone been to yuma, arizona? it is very hot and humid in arizona. and, it is the one place during the winter where it is warm enough to actually grow and harvest let us. for much of the ear let us comes from salinas, california but in the winter it all sort of shifts to yuma, so about 98% of iceberg lettuce, the u.s. and canada consumes in the winter months is all coming from yuma. i also learned that they needed -- they had a labor shortage so that became my first sort of job and i moved to yuma. kind of the piece about the book that made me very anxious always was, i was moving somewhere where he didn't have any connections are no guarantee of getting a job. each place could have been a total bust. but, they hired me. and so, the first piece i wanted to read was about a section in doing let us work. i have to say that let us by far, i worked harvesting let us for dole for two months. i try to do each job for two months just because i figured, i am not walking in the shoes of immigrants. i am like visiting for a

the university of arizona attained its charter on march 12, 1891, with the authorization of arizona's 13th territorial assembly. the mission of this new university focused on building a better arizona through access, quality and self-discovery. the university's first day of classes commenced on october 1, 1891, with a small group of 32 students from the surrounding region. the school instantly became a symbol of pride for tucson, arizona. from these humble beginnings, the university of arizona has grown into one of the most prominent universities in the country. the student body contains over 36,000 students, including almost 7,000 graduate students. students are enrolled in 122 undergraduate degree programs, 217 graduate programs, and three professional schools. the university of arizona has gained national accolades for its breakthroughs in science and technology. the university scientific research and development program ranked 15th in the nation by the national science foundation, played the leading role on nasa's phoenix mars mission, which led to greater understanding of the red

he does not stop fighting for arizona or the rest of the country. he got back to work with the campaign was over. he did not take a break. he got back to work. [applause] back in congress, he introduce legislation and pieces of policy that were just the start of his continued good service for this great state. you know, that does not sound like he is being a part of the party of "no." it sounds like he is leading the party of ideas and standing up for time tested troops. if you think about it, what is wrong with being the party of "no," when you consider -- when you consider what obama, pelosi, and reid are trying to do to the country, let us become the party of "hell no." [applause] john mccain is standing up for the truth is that made this country the greatest country on earth, a country we are so proud to be a part of. we are always proud of being americans and are not going to apologize for being proud of being americans. he believes that the government that governs least governs best. [applause] he believes the constitution provides the path fo

there they are out there in arizona. today we'll see if she can get hard-right conservatives to rally behind a man that they've often considered suspect. >>> and i'll finish tonight with thoughts about how the democrats proved this week that things here in washington can get done. we start with the history made this past week. doug brinkley's a presidential historian, the wilderness warrior about teddy roosevelt. and ruby brown, speaker of the california assembly. i want to start with dog and go to mayor brown. an interesting montage, here's some presidents throughout the modern american history on health care, let's listen and let's watch. >> we have accepted so to speak, a second bill of rights. under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all. regardless of station or race or creed. among these, are the right to adequate medical care. and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. >> we must also act promptly to improve the health of our nation. know that in many areas, there are no

standing up for true conservatives, standing up for arizona. john mccain, character matters. >> nbc's norah o'donnell is live right outside the fairgrounds where a lot of people are gathered. norah, how does mr. mccain believe sarah palin will help him here? >> reporter: well, i think that john mccain believes that sarah palin can vouch for his, quote-unquote, true conservative values as she said in that radio ad. i just spoke with the senior mccain adviser, who tells me that both todd and sarah palin are here with cindy and john mccain and that the bulk of this event is going to center around sarah palin. this adviser telling me sarah palin is going to deliver a very meaty speech that is going to be ten to 12 minutes long, about twice as long as when john mccain's speech today because this event is meant to show case her and spotlight her support for john mccain. why is that so important? because john mccain is facing his toughest re-election of his life. he is facing a challenge from the political right. another republican, j.d. hayworth, who

now, the senator from arizona is here, and i would say to the senator this. also in the article in "the wall street journal," it said 59% of the voters say the biggest problem with the health care system is the cost. that's what we have been saying over and over again. let's don't expand a program that costs too much. let's fix the program by reducing costs. according to the survey -- remember, this is an independent pollster and a democratic pollster. 59% say the biggest problem with the health care system is the cost. they want reform that will bring down the cost of care. for these voters, the notion that you need to spend an additional trillion dollars doesn't make sense. if the program is supposed to save money, why does it cost anything at all asked the pollsters. i would ask the senator from arizona that question, if this program is supposed to save money, reduce costs, why does it cost anything at all? mr. mccain: i would say to my friend, obviously, the answer to that question is we continue to go back and back to the congressional budget office with

how my arizona colleagues go home. the president wanted some of these special deals taken out, but ap reported over the weekend that these senators don't want those special deals taken out. you know what? i think i agree with nancy pelosi. she said nobody wants to vote for the senate bill because of all this junk, all of these secret special deals. so somehow they're going to not vote for it but still going to pass it? how do you do that under the constitution? how can you pass something without voting on it? newt gingrich said it today, there was a point in time when members of congress didn't read the bills. now they aren't going to vote on the bills. why are we here? mr. burgess: the deficit rezucks act, it led to a court challenge and we came back in january. we left in december -- 21 or whatever day it was when we passed that bill out of the house and went over to the senate and there was a problem they couldn't fix under unanimous consent because of an an objection and had to repass the bill in january. the reaso

but what happened arizona tuday was in no way typical. police in phoenix tried to pull er a suspicious pickup. here it is. the drivhit the gas instead. the licopter crew from our filiate ktvk followed the action. >> at times he wasoing about 90 miles per hour. then police cided to back off when he was kind of tting in the residential neighborhoods and stuff like that. they were suspicious of something in the back of his uck. from what i can tellthis is an f-150. it looks like it's silver or ite. and in the back of the picp truck, it looks like there's plywood. anyways, the chase then continued at 80 or 90 miles per hour. luckily no has been hu. there has been no accidents in this. t the police have since pulled off. and you cansee he's ctinuing to gjustrivi around in ese sintial neighborhood poli have backed off. athis point we all know where he is. so far hs not ttinaway. don't know, itooksike 's starng to obey -- wellnohe just blew a op sign rit the. everyby's working together up here so that he doest know th we're still tracking him. g

she's going to be in search light, nevada and going to arizona for mccain. this is her facebook posting today. we're going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. we're going to fire them and send them back to the private sector. maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they'll understand why americans wanted them to focus on job creation. come november, we're going to print pink slips for members of congress as fast as they've been printing money. shrum, does she have a responsive cord there? >> the republicans are going to make a very big mistake over the next few months if they stand there and sound like they have a know nothing opposition toward it. when you listen to what sarah palin is saying, the reason there was a massive shrinkage in the private sector was because george w. bush left us with a recession that almost became a depressi depression. we're entering into a period of recovery. we're going to see job growth in the next few months. when people see what's in this health care bill, when they

hayworth is running against him in the primary he claims he's too moderate for arizona republicans. polls show voters agree but mccain says he's the real conservative in the race. >> my favorite bumper sticker lately is please don't tell president obama what comes after a trillion [ laughter ] >> reporter: but some conservatives aren't sold. mccain has prided himself in the past for reaching across the aisle and working with democrats. that could spell trouble when arizona voters head to the polls later this year. >> right now, he really needs all the help he can get when it comes to someone who says i know this guy, this guy is a conservative. >> reporter: mark says the gop has defined a way to work with movements like the tea party to gain the advantage. palin has proved popular with the conservative base. mccain is counting on two days of campaigning with her at his side to convince conservative voters he's one of them. joel brown, cbs news, washington. >>> now without criticizing mccain himself, sarah palinned admonished his presidential campaign in his book saying there was sub
