john lewis is, to me, just one of the heroes. john lewis, i think, is the single best american citizen i've ever known. i mean, he is so steadfast. here we are, 40 years later, and he's still doing ten times more things than he should. he's a congressman, he's generous-hearted, he's not a separatist. he treats everybody the way they would like to be treated. he reaches out to everyone. he still talks about the good community, the noble community. the beloved community. the beloved community that jim lawson first mentioned to him. and he was a person who could have had a wasted life that we would never reach. i joined the new york times that year, the day after john kennedy's election. and one of my last images of nashville, right before i left: the sit-ins are over, they've won, everybody's sort of gone back to their normal lives. i'm downtown on a saturday picking up something, and there on a street corner, absolutely by himself, is john lewis. nobody else, just doing this on his own. and he's trying to register black people to

lives so i mean you're going on mary if i could think very divine jump in here john john john john if i was going to you i mean if we look at recent memory as he was being run out of the cold i mean not very long ago it all go ahead john. i think if we look at recent memory we want to get out of the john go ahead i think we recall i think we recall that these arguments were exactly the same as the arguments used for the invasion of afghanistan and iraq and nobody thinks that what we've got in either place is a model of democracy and the argument that the very language here is is it is said is it dissembling language to say that the world community there is no world community i'm a citizen in this country my country is at war a majority of people in the opinion poll don't want to be bombing libya our government and the arms are factors that it's touring the middle east saudi weaponry to they want to go to the war go to war isn't true but that there is some sort of this embodied world community that is backing this what is true is that a vast majority of people in the world and a very d

can we real quick give it up for john adachi. you know. i really want to think jeff for his leadership. his willingness. you have extended your office and given us this opportunity to create positive change in your schools, in our streets and i really want to thank you for that. i want to just make a couple quick announcements. to my colleagues. i am show proud what we have accomplished. we have given a voice to many who have suffered in silence. i want to acknowledge 2 individuals who have carried out our mission. you met angela chan from the asian law office. can you give it up for them. i also want to say to be members of the safety america partnership. our efforts have been over lookd and unappreciated, but i know what tremendous contributions we have made to the quality of life in our neighborhoods. i am looking forward to continuing that in the future. it feels acward to be up here. i know there are so many of you that contribute to increases safety to our schools and on our streets. last week, i had to ask jeff, out of all the folks

reid and john boehner, -- harry reid and john boehner, they knew they were serious. that made it harder for republicans to say they're not serious at all. it then became about the specific kind of cults, which made it a less easy political position for republicans to paints the democrats as out of touch. >> having watched a bunch of these deal-making conferences over the last 15 years, i can tell you that the dealmakers have a way of getting separated from their caucuses. even though they can come out of days of frustrating negotiations and sometimes go back and not actually be able to sell what they have wrought, ambassador that's one of the downsides of this last-minute deadlines that both sides of playing. it doesn't leave you time to miss calculate. and these kinds of judgments you make, i'll take a 3-1 turn, a 5-1 on a rider, you're really playing a very high-stakes game. so we'll see if we can get these passed. gwen: all of us were covering washington in 1995, the time of the last big government shutdown and there are similarities here. it's natural for us to i

john cornyn represents politics as usual. i can tell you from talking to people in his home district, he is not popular there now. he's in serious trouble. and people like him who are out of step with the american people are in trouble. right now 69% of americans say they're angry with government, th'rangry withovnmt policies. they stand with the tea party, not with people like john cornyn that just want to get it done in the old style. >> jenny, when you look at this, there's also a lot of the public that they're tired of all the washington games. if you shut down the government, that looks like a washington game. >> it does look like a washington game and it's too bad that congress and the white house are willing to let that happen. we haven't had a budget pass since 2009. this budget, the continuing resolution we're talking about, is for this fiscal year that started in october of last year. october 1st of 2010. why haven't they done what they're supposed to do? >> what about this issue of compromise? here's where this sta

nerves about john boehner and the vote over raising the debt ceiling. they're not sure he has his republican caucus under control. this is real. if he doesn't handle that well there's going to be a dump john boehner movement by the republican establishment. chris: when does that come to a head shall >> around the fourth of july. if he doesn't get the bill through and there's a crisis over the debt limit and wide repercussions for the economy, there will be a backlash. >> i'm going to talk about something bipartisan. by the end of the summer, my prediction is we're going to have free trade agreements. colombia, pan marks south korea. bipartisan vote. chris: free trade still wins? >> yep. >> the minority voters has the republican party challenged because they don't appeal to voters of color so they're going back to a tried and true technique, strict voter i.d. laws. g.o.p. legislatures ramming through laws for strict voter i.d.'s. chris: what do they want for snaer >> strict i.d.'s like driver's licenses. >> we're starting to see people concerned about gl

fraud is illegal, john. it's not easy to prosecute. but remember the s&l crisis you had how many dozens indicted? nobody has indicted. >> cover on the other side [everyone talking at once] >> it is illegal if you're not giving accurate information to the people. >> that's different. that's what happens. >> that's what at the did. look, the movie inside job is terrific. and there are plenty of enablers. what is particularly shocking to me was all the elite academic -- >> you talking tax? >> no, the academics who went along with -- to make wall street look good. but the american public is most angry at the wall street bankers because they made out >>> i think john will be real pressure on the united states to reinstitute the airstrikes in libya, and until we drive gaddafi out, then the pressure will come to put boots on the grounds for the aftermath. >> eleanor? >> republican plan to gut medicare will put the 25 seats in the house with the democrats need into play to make it plausible the democrats could regain the majority in two years.

service and john davis and john carter vinson, and that they really were soviet spies. iran at the got the book. i didn't buy. i sat there and thumbed through it and there's nothing where it says that, but this guy but that income and so i talked to jack's oldest son, robert service, retired ambassador robert service for me to the top rung of the latter and help me convince his parents that i should do the book. his mother didn't want me to do the book. she was afraid it might damage his career, but afterwards -- anyway, bob and i worked out a draft of a letter to the editor of the magazine about this audacious slanderous thing, and bob said in. and they publish it but they left off his punch line. they censored his letter. so yes, he still has this era, you know, this aura of controversy around him, but by and large most people who know about him on them. and i think it might be appropriate today, i just won this nice weather rose major from the american academy of diplomacy and on the certificate i got it says it was for this book about john service, unjustly pillorie

john steever explains that steroids help make an athlete stronger, but they have a very negative side to them. >> you get increases and elevations in blood pressure. your clotting ability goes up, and so you become at risk for having things like heart attack, stroke, clots in the lungs or in your chest, or in your legs, and those are very dangerous side effects. >> reporter: body builder brad cunningham felt those effects first hand. >> the day after christmas morning, i felt chest pains and a searing headache. i told my mom i think it's time to call 911. >> reporter: brad was lucky. he's okay today. things didn't turn out as well for taylor. his family says steroids sent him into a deep depression. taylor killed himself. mood swings are a known side effect of the drug. that's because steroids increase the amount of the hormone testosterone in the body. >> testosterone that's given to you externally suppresses your own internal production of testosterone, and one of the side effects that boys don't like is their testicles shrink. >> reporter: that can affect your ability to produce ch

>> it's both, john. even the illegal aliens who come to this country have 300 to 400,000 anchor babies every year, in the united states, who are now automatic citizens. the immigrants, hispanic immigrants, have a higher birthrate and immigration as well. john one thing that's important even throw they're 16% of the population, there were only 7.4% of the vote in 2008, whereas whites were 74%. but there's no doubt about it, the hispanics are getting more and more politically active. and quite frankly, i think we're reaching a tipping point in this country where the republican party will be unable to win a presidential election. and that will come when hispanics become basically the swing vote that swings the states of colorado, nevada, arizona, new mexico, and finally texas into the democratic ranks, and when techs goes, republicans won't be able to win the white house. >> eleanor. >> first of all, i don't think hispanics are automatically democratic. i think president george w. bush did very well with hi

what is that, john? >> it's something the start on the center of the book dead right now it is the hottest of the reading promotion ideas. it started in 1998 in seattle with the project from the washington state center for the book which is the seattle public library. it was called at all of seattle read the same book. and the idea was to get as many people reading in this case. it was the lesson of docking. this started with help from the "reader's digest" foundation and all these projects started this way. the idea was of only would they read the book that they would come together to discuss it with the notion that the discussion and sharing of ideas about the book is an important way to not only talk about it but to learn about it and each other and the ideas in the book and it's caught on and it's just gone now to many states it's gone to states and cities. many people think of this city reading. chicago has done it. major cities have done it. major states have done it. and on the web site for the ce

adler and john together. john is this huge guy, football guy, and john adler was so slight. he always exercised. and the contrast between them was so of interesting and john would poke fun at that as well, the fact that he was a slight guy and john was a big guy and football player. i heard mr. lance talk about ocean county and john representing ocean county and i can't help but mention one aspect of that and that is the fact that when he was first running in ocean county, because i used to represent it at one time, he would remark to me how wonderful the beaches were and he was very concerned to preserve the quality of the beaches, the quality of the ocean and also protect the industries that used it, particularly the fishing industry, recreational fishing alliance was supportive of john because he was concerned about the fishing industry. he felt that it was historically part of ocean county and part of new jersey going back to colonial times and he had a special role to play in trying to protect the agency

are we going to see now john huntsman, mitch daniels? does their stock rise as a result of this view of the republican field as, you know, at least in trump's case, wacky? >> no one really knows because the other thing that has been going on within the republican party itself is, you have to go back probably a half century to find the presidential election process at this stage with such an unsettled republican field where no candidate really registering very much in the polls and -- gwen: like we saw haley barbour drop out. >> haley barbour dropped out. he had been testing the waters in the very traditional sense and he said is he didn't feel the fire in his belly, which most people took to mean he didn't think there was much of a chance to win, but the field is very unsettled and someone like a donald trump who under normal circumstances where the party finds its candidate and begins the procession toward the core anition, donald trump couldn't have gotten the traction. but now people know his name, it's registering by the in the polls

john, this is really a great narrative. we'll talk later about the quality but the narrative is great about vcu and butler. >> yeah, you have good versus good in that first game tomorrow night. obviously butler was cinderella last year when they got to the championship game and barely loss to charlie rose's alma mater by about two inches on that last second shot of gordon haywardses. and now here they are back without hayward who left early for the nba. they're back the final four and they're facing a team that most of the so-called experts didn't even think belonged in the tournament, vcu, when the bracket was unveiled a couple weeks ago. and they have won five games because of the new 68 team tournament to get to the final four, first team in history to do that. and only the third 11th seed since the tournament expanded in 1985 to make it this far. >> is there a quality difference between these four teams? >> not much. i don't think there's much. i think when you saw vcu play kansas on sunday and kansas was the number one

john was hysterically funny guy. brilliant, he was a loving husband, a loving father to four outstanding young men. he was a leader in the new jersey state senate, recognized for his intelligence and his contribution to the people of new jersey. i am still in shock at his passing. he did not deserve to die young. he was such a good man. i want to convey my thoughts and prayers to his wonderful wife, shelley, and to their four sons, jeffrey, alex, andrew and olver, on the passing of this great and good and wonderful man, john adler. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois rise? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. shimkus: i want to congratulate a native southern illinoisan and a living legend in the sport of basketball, mr. jerry sloan, who retired recently as head coach of the nba's utah jazz. jerry never forgot his humble roots. throughout his playing and cofling -- coaching career, he a down to earth demeanor and an unassum

when i got to saint johns i went to the perish rejist ree. met the woman i spoke with on the phone and she gave me complete access to the archives. ship lists and when they came over 1550 or 1851. there was no marriage record. they probably got married on the boat which happened often. that's where i found out that the trade with the merry times and county cork was a lumber trade. they brought lumber over and humans were brought back. profound history that, you know, my ancestors were a part of. not just mine bithousands and millions of people have this story deep in their background. i also found out the location of where my great, great grandfather was buried in saint johns which is ruinned by acid rain because they built a refinary over it. this is an irish american grave yard a memorial to the experience of coming over her in famine times partridge islands is where they had to go through. i stood about where the plot was which was a mass grave. there was no marker at all. they were buried together with the other poor in a little area. to

john chambers talked about how the company is not being aggressive enough. what mike's you like cisco? >> cisco is under valued on every metric that you look at. when you compare cisco, tom, to the rest of the market and the tech sector, it's incredibly undervalued. what you have is a company that has $28 billion in cash and now with john chambers the c.e.o. who i respect greatly has said is we have really let down ourselves and shareholders, we're going to get more aggressive and expand so cisco can afford to go and buy growth. plus, this is an important point, they are involved with the smart group, for example, they are building our lick trick grid so customers can talk to power station, and john chambers has said it a $20 billion market, it all about network communication, so cisco is not dead and it's not dead money. >> tom: you mentioned the cash on cisco's balance sheet. microsoft has had billions for a long time, msft for microsoft. the share price at $26. what's the price target that you have for microsoft? >> well, i'm looking for $31 on microsoft.

some of them among the wealthiest and in america, john hancock, yes the john hancock with his declaration of independence left his name synonymous with the word signature. long before he put his john hancock on the declaration of independence, he was arguably among the wealthiest merchant banker with a commanding view of the seascape. far from espousing liberty, hancock and fellow merchants in new england cover their businesses and communities with economic ruthlessness that often must their competitors homeless and penniless. like today, tea party movements that have nothing to do with peace. he was nothing more than a social network for wealthy women among the beverages. the tea party movement sparked the american revolution began 20 years earlier than the 1750s and 60s the new england business leaders like tea parties supported across the government i refuse to pay higher taxes. nor has started in the early 1750s when overpopulation in the middle east, especially north sent interceptors poring over the appalachian mountains into what was then clenched territory. france at the time clai

. >> what a john. >> justin bieber? >> he has a following with younger girls the likes of which you have not seen since -- absolutely. >> so you know the scene. >> i'm another one of those canadians who have a lot of young >>> predictions, pat. >> i think american bombing in airstrikes will force gaddafi out by memorial day. but i do think that chaos and results and killings back and forth will cause europe and the united states to have to intervene militarily and put boots on the grounds. >> where will gaddafi go? >> i think they're going to try to kill him. >> if they don't kill him, where will he go? >> i think zimbabwe is a nice place. >> peacekeepers on the ground after libya -- after gaddafi leaves i think is not a bad outcome and that's a good outcome. i think turkey will step up and become more of a dominant player in the -- evolving middle east, as a secular islamic democracy. and i think they become the role model for the emerging government in that area. >> you notices how they're moving in latin america, tur

people pull up alongside me and say, "john, get in the car." and i go, "no, man, i'm not getting in the car." they said, "what are you walking for?" and i said, "for the environment," you know? and they go, "you're just doing this to make us look bad, man, or to feel bad." >> hinojosa: oh, you were trying to make them look bad. i see. >> yeah, you know, and to feel guilty and to, you know, come on and walk. and maybe, to some degree, at that early stage i... that was true. but then i decided that, "look, i'm arguing all the time." on my birthday, which was coming up, i was going to be turning 27, "i'm going to decide," i said, "to not speak for one day." >> hinojosa: not argue back, not speak, not engage. >> give it a rest. and so i didn't. my birthday came, i didn't speak for that one day, and i learned something right away. >> hinojosa: which was? >> i had not been listening. i would normally listen to someone just enough to think i knew what they were going to say. and then i would stop listening to them, and in my own md ru ahead to think w

john podesta? >> well, on the transportation issues specifically, i think the two most important things are vehicle efficiency and completing the rules that are now in the planning phase on the next phase, the president has already done one and completing the rules and getting 60 mile per gallon and getting fleet vehicles standards in place for the early 2020s is probably the most critical, followed by the new truck rules to provide more efficiency in truck engines. fuels, we already talked about that. shifting to electricity in the passenger vehicle sector and to -- and perhaps natural gas in the fleet sector. and then to follow up on what jane said, southern california is probably is not the -- the model for land use planning but i think if we could make better investments in the new surface transportation bill on public transport that, i think, is another place where there's tremendous capacity in the midterm to save fuel, to reduce the price that consumers are paying to move from one place to a

i didn't find many saying that john boehner really screwed up here. they were saying it's a tough situation, as good as he could get but i don't like it. gwen: what you have is a lot of fiscal conservatives. they're fairly ideological about this. it's not personal necessarily. but they came to washington to cut this budget. is that setting the stage for the kind of fights we're going to see in the future? >> if you look at that vote, the 59 was sort of the high watermark so far. within that you have about two dozen that would most likely be considered the tea party republicans, this wave elected last november that are going to be a thorn in john boehner's side for the next year and a half. the republican party is never going to go as far to the right as they believe they came here to push the party. you raise an interesting point about leverage the democrats have. in the debate over the c.s.r. i think the democrats felt they had no leverage. but when it came to the floor -- the bill that averted the shutdown. when it came to that vote they did knee so

john boehner had a tough time. with the democratic votes -- without democratic votes -- he lost republicans, and without the democratic votes it goes down. >> it was a triumph on his part considering how the deal was demagogued and distorted in the last three days. yes, only 1% would have been appropriated in this fiscal year, which only has 5.5 months to go. but the savings are real. denial of authorization, so it cannot be spent in the future. it is real money. it is not going to happen between now and october. distortion is what led a lot of republicans on at the right to think that they were betrayed. given those facts, what they ended up with, losing only 1/3 of the freshman, was rather good. >> john boehner could not have gotten it done without the democrats. that is the harbinger of things to come. john boehner does not have full control of this conference -- >> democrats don't, either. >> well, it is not clear -- >> he is the leader -- >> this is larger, but it was controlled, as it were. i actually think w

well i'm john hartman in washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture the clock is ticking for the house and senate to decide where to make budget cuts who'll win where will the biggest chops take place over government really shut down operations and seventy two hours plus it shut down occurs these guys to blame i mean they only fund the majority of the tea party people that tell you what other politicians the koch brothers have their back pockets and a small internet company tries to provide affordable service to residents but is shot down by the media giant time warner our politics and greed are screwing the people of wilson north carolina. you need to know this today is judgment day in congress a lawmaker is hoping to prevent a government shutdown on friday given procedural rules a compromise deal of the budget needs to be reached by tonight run a government shutdown at the end of the week unfortunately the prospects of a deal aren't too good earlier today the white house rejected a one week funn

>> john, we have over a million visitors every year. he was -- he had the place to himself for a while. he was interested in seeing the charters of freedoms, interested in seeing the declaration of independence, the constitution and -- >> u.n. declaration? >> and the bill the rights, the u.s. charter. he was also interested in the revolutionary period. washington -- was fascinated to spend sometime with washington's documents. he knew a great deal about american history. he also knew a great deal about the american revolution, for example, that we like so many other democracies began with support from other countries. we began with french support. they have coalition support in iraq. he was well aware of the time that it took the us. to go from revolution to government, over a decade. he was interested in lincoln and the civil war. we talked a lot about lincoln and saw lincoln documents. then he had a very surprised q. he wanted to see documents of the precedence apparently really fascinates him, john quincy adams so we showed -- >> did

john smith, are you here? and then john smith would come and be told what the prosecutor was offering and people had called and not heard back. they didn't get any attention to the individual circumstances of their cases. instead, they were called before the judge and another attorney who even left about the case would stand there almost like a piece of cardboard and the people would plead guilty. now it was incredibly obvious in court that day that people had no idea what was happening to them. people started to cry in the middle of pleading guilty. wait, i'm pleading guilty. i didn't realize i had agreed to go to jail. it was really a mess mess . what i really learned later is that robert was a croobt defender and he had a -- contract defender and he had a full private practice representing people who paid him money and he had earned a sum of money from the county and had to represent as many people as the prosecutor was going to charge and during the two-year period, he had represented twice the number of p

my name is john. i want to ask, if you wouldn't mind if i not state my agency because i'm expressing personal perspectives here, but i did spend four years in afghanistan, just got back again several weeks ago. brian, my mindset is pretty much along the lines what you're talking about. and, john, i agree with a lot of what you said, but i want to challenge you just on a couple of key points, and that's i don't believe we are really doing a coined strategy there. and this might be something in your studies and with the officials that you talk to to explore that a bit. certainly, at the strategic level mcchrystal, petraeus, a lot of the usg officials, all our strategic documents do say that, but at the tactical/operational level it's really a stability fight because we're just never going to resource the coin fight. and i think it came out in this discussion that, certainly, the support we would need from the hill on this is not going to increase. so we can certainly clear and hold any place we want in

john boehner helped them get their victory. they took his original number, doubled it to 61 and came back to 39. he gave them credit all along and said you put me in the corner i want to be. i think the tea party freshmen got what they wanted but they also didn't revolt against the speaker. they got what they wanted. a lot of what they want and fell in line. those are two important things. >> it's a huge victory for the tea party. the conservative published editorial in january saying forget about this year's budget. not that much money at stake. get it done and take last year's c.r. and continue it and have the fight over the big paul ryan budget. the tea party -- john boehner said no, let's get some cuts. tea party people said let's get big cuts. they ended up with big cuts this year. i have didn't think it could be done three months ago. the evident of the pie in the sky, unrealistic type got real cut and real spending this year. >> chris: quickly, juan? >> i think they got real cuts at the point of threatening everybody and

>> he's a bright fellow, john. he probably could. >> debate you and convince you -- [everyone talking at once] >> that would give him the benefit of the document he would do a god job. >> a hero in the small segment of the electorate, the conservatives think the liberal programs are the fault of everything going wrong. he wants to turn medicare into what is called a premium support program. >> right. what is wrong with that. >> well, what is wrong with it is the government then pays a certain premium with health care costs go up. >> is there any way -- [everyone talking at once] >> as costs go up, recipient bears the cost. he touts support from alice rivland, who has said she does not support the plan as he has put it. also he gets credit for all this courage but can't touch anybody over the age of 55 because they're the ones who vote! >> is there anyone who is going to be a truth teller and who is not going to have to address -- the medicare, medicaid and social security? >> of course but the headlines he got this

that's who you are, john the baptist. you called billy and you prepared the way, the way for yourself. it will be fun -- >> billy, come here. i've got all my music. >> ringing out how i feel. >> i ring, i roll. i'll sing, i'm cool. >> people, help me. >> charlie: joining me now is ben stiller who plays arty. also joining me is the playwright john guare and the director david cromer. i am pleased to have them here at this table. how do i begin this. tell me what this play's about. >> the first thing that comes to mind is dreams, dreams of being something you're not aspiration to be something, to be recognized, to be people. these are people who are living in queens in 1965 who feel that they need to be recognized by the world to mean something. and they're not. and it's about that desperation, that need. that's one of the things. >> charlie: once a director always a director. what was it about? >> what was it about? it's about the fact that i wrote it, the fact that i was in my 20's, yale drama school, i knew how to write
