Said let me find out what this guy is about. Lets talk and that was very fitting because thats exactly how i knew him to operate as a Public Servant and a person. He wanted to talk about the china town campus and talk about my background. He asked if we should build a campus, and i said its something that we should do and there was certainly overwhelming support for the campus, but characteristic of his style and his principles he was never afraid to question power, or to question the popular wa...

Afraid to question power, or to question the popular way, and he had many good points, and that was very typical of what i have known him to be as a servant at city college. It was very difficult in his position, often being the one vote out of seven, often finding rubber stamping of a decision, fighting the way we were spending our money for ten years. Ten years he was in a position most of the time alone trying to speak up and say why are we doing this . Were running the college into the groun...

Moved from the house to the senate. The majority leader harry reid says he is hopeful for a compromise soon, one that will break the budget impasse before default. I want to bring in al jazeeras john terret joining us from capitol hill. I hope you have a record player because i have a record i would like to sell you, albeit a broken record reporter i am going to go get one after this broadcast in the light of what you said. Thats for sure. We could lead a long playing record into the we small ho...

Thank you abbey for giving me an opportunity to speak about milton today. Some of you may have heard that city college is facing some troubles; that we are at risk of losing our license to operate a college, and some of you may have heard that there is a as there should be a cause to Save City College, to keep it from ...

Were very excited to get a visit from the five young people on bus 52 who have been on the bus for a year collecting Inspiring Stories. Their trip wraps up this afternoon. The chef who taught americans to cook tellian style. Shes here to reveal her own mamas favorite family dishes. She has this incredible life story. Her family escaped communism.

S p up 13 of the past 15 sessions. We do have a fed decision this afternoon. Even initial reviews of the apple ipad air. As we monitor the hearing this morning in washington, lets get to jim. First, broad markets, weve not had a run look weve had this month in a long time. Whether youre larry fink or others, people asking serious questions about when in ends and how it ends. You keep thinking it should end and then General Motors comes out with a quarter that says, hey, listen, were back, too. Y...

Deliberately mischaracterized what happened. She was reading from unclassified talking points and nonetheless this has been caught up in a back and forth and, wolf, if i may, im going to read from part of her statement, her letter to the president and what she wrote in part, i am now convinced that the confirmation process will be lengthy, disruptive, and costly to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities. That tradeoff is simply not worth it to our country. The secreta...

Last year, we declassified the basics of the u. S. Military pot cap towers and the u. S. Militarys counterterrorism activity in yemen and somalia. It was a long and difficult process to get there.

That event is available on our website, cspan. Org. President obama expected to johnson this afternoon. Leftover john cspan starts at 2 00 p. M. East...

Do you still write your songs down with paper and pencil . Yes, i do. I have always carried a little recording device of some sort. They used to be pretty big, but now they are quite small, and i always carry a pen and paper, and i am ready if something occurs to me. You mentioned merle travis. What other musicians . Ry cooder is my favorite guitar player, but there are many others to choose from. There was an album that was a formative for me. Paradise and lunch. There was a guy coming up calle...

Debt. The debt is a huge problem just like a cancer patient has a problem with pain. But it isnt healthy to be but it is analytically unhelpful to be thinking in terms of the debt crisis. We might as well refer to the crisis we are going through as the savings crisis, a crisis caused by too much savings. You have never heard anyone from bloomberg refer to it as a crisis of a glut of money with nowhere to go, but it is, just as much as it is a crisis of debt. Lets begin at the beginning. Lets tal...
