they'll do what al gourd said to me it's the best vote ever. go read what those guys wrote in that time and in that place and in that situation, what they said this would do. it makes steve and me la like left wingers. >> the reason hillary's speech was important last week is she basically said if you elect me you're not going to get a third bill clinton term you're going to get a third barack obama term. and i don't think the american people want a third obama term. the party is shifting extremely to the left which i think is discouraging. it's so disoccurringage and that makes it all the more important that we get these guys on the republican side of the aisle to embrace this idea. and i think just in closing -- i

see you're hyperventilating there. the fact that you've got 18 republican candidates out there for president and 15 of them or so are talking about these ideas, that's a real break through because we have problems getting republicans in favor of these ideas. >> very much true. but what i'm asking stay open to democrats. work with them. bring them on board. it's all of our country, not just one party's country. mrooz, please, please educate them work with them. every now and then they may have something to teach us. please, it's one country, one people, one vision one future. please be that way. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, steve, very much. >> thanks again to steven r. and thanks to everybody for coming.

before we close, we're going to have another tax event later this fall, probably in october, so stay tuned to that announcement. and i think there might be some sandwiches and drinks and cookies out there. so help yourself and thanks very much. >> it's almost as if they were matter and anti-matter. >> freedom breathes inequality. say it a third time. >> no. >> always to the right and almost always in the -- >> i confess that anything complicated confuses me. >> filmmakers robert gordan and morgan nettle talk about their documentary, best of enemies, on the 1968 debate over war, politics god and sex.

>> today i believe there's someone saying, you know, the numbers are dwindling. talk about, you know, hot topics hot salacious topic number two whereas then i don't think that was the norm in tv at the time and i don't think these guys needed -- as morgan said, these guys were -- >> and howard was the moderator who i think was really kind of embarrassed by this. he was moderating but he disappeared for sometimes five or more minutes at a time. today you wouldn't have a moderator not jumping in every 30 second. i think really everybody at abc just stood back and let the fire burn. >> sunday night at 8:00 pacific on sunday night's q&a. >> ohio governor john kasich is announcing his campaign tuesday at the ohio state university in

columbus, ohio. becoming the 16th republican to run for president. c-span recently sat down with governor kasich to talk about his life and political career. >> governor john kasich republican of ohio. there have been eight presidents that have come from ohio. why do you want to be the ninth? >> well, i haven't made that decision yet so we're going to have to wait and see and so if i decide to move forward with this then it would be because i happen i have the experience and the skills and the -- you know and the record to show that i can tackle this very, very tough job. >> what makes a good president? >> i think it's somebody who has experience, somebody who has good instincts, somebody who can gather a really good team around them and frankly, somebody who really wants the job in order to

lift the country. i was doing an interview the other day and somebody talked about electability. i had, you know, electability? we're not picking a high school president here. we're talking about capable and maybe electability is part of it steve. but in some ways we are at a crossroads again and we need somebody to restore the spiert of our country and slow this economy and rebuild our defenses. there's a lot of things that need to be done. but that person, i think, has to have had a record they have to have been tested. they have to have the ability to put a team together. they have to have a vision. and i think they have to have the strength to move forward. if you're going to sit around and worry about whether people are going to cheer you or whether they're going to, you know, love everything you do, you just can't operate that way.

so sometimes leaders, all leaders, presidents included sometimes have to walk a lonely road. now, you can't get too far ahead of the people because then you lose touch. but you also can't be in the crowd because you're really, frankly, not a leader. >> for a few months you were a candidate back in 1999. >> well i was out there for a long time, for years. >> as a candidate for president what did you learn? >> well, i never actually became a candidate i guess. i had an exploratory committee. i learned that it's really hard and when you're 47 years old and a member of the house, you don't have all that much experience particularly as an example, it doesn't kind of work. >> you were not born in ohio. you're from across the border in western pennsylvania. >> right. >> talk about your mom and dad. >> my dad carried mail on his back. his father was a coal miner. my mother's mother lived with us off and on. she couldn't speak english -- or barely spoke english.

my mother was very, very intelligent. very opinionated, yet not highly educated. and i think had she been able to get the education combined with her intellect and her strong opiniones and sort of intuitiveness, i think she would have really been a superstar. but she didn't have that education. she had a profound influence on my life as my father did. >> your parents were democrats, correct? >> well, my father was always a democrat. my mother became a republican later in life and my father claimed that he is switched. she said no, you didn't. and he said, well, your right. so -- but most of the town was democrat. i didn't meet too many republicans when i was a kid. >> best advise your parents ever gave you? >> think big. >> are you thinking big? >> i always have thought pretty big throughout my life. i see something i tell to do. fortunately, up in of us can

ever get there alone. i've had people that have interceded, who have been enablers to me that havelied me to reach a lot of the goals i've set and you can't do it -- you can't reach those big goals unless you get people that help you. you have a team or you have a mentor and i've been fortunate throughout my life. the lord has been good to me and has provided a lot of people to help me 1/2 get and climb a bunch 067 moments. >> first of all, why ohio state university? >> kind of wanted to get out of pennsylvania and go strike out on my own. i came out here and fell in love with the campus and sounded like a really great place. it turned out to be pivotal for me and for my life. >> you're 18 years old. you meet with the president of the university. what were the circumstances back in 1970?

>> well i just bugged them until they let me in. i wanted to go in and talk about a few things and that is when i found out he was going to go the next day and see president nixon and i said why don't i go with you? and he said no. and he said no and the president invited me to the white house. >> 20 minutes, you're 18 years old. you have to remember everything that happened. >> i really don't. i just remember being outside the oval office and them telling me i was going to get five minutes and i was like come on, you can't do anything in five minutes. i just remember walking in and being introduced and we sat at his desk. you know, in a funny sort of way -- i mean, there are situations that you can find that can be daunting, but coming from these rocks, so i -- it was really cool to be there.

i also, again, personally in 1987 and i was interested with him then. >> it was cool. to accomplish other things. >> do you remember generally what you talked about? >> not really. i think that -- i really don't remember that much about it. but what i will tell you is i can the reason why i was invited was he wanted to know what was going on college campuses. he wanted to know -- he didn't tell me that, but as i think back on it reflect back on it, this sort of like -- i think it was the year after kent state and i think he wanted to kind of hear what was going on out there. he asked me a few questions about that and -- but look, that

was 1970. that was 45 years ago, man. i remember when i got a phone call to get on the little league -- when i got picked on the little league team. you know? it was a great experience. it was really remarkable opportunity. but another case where lightning kind of struck me and things just worked out. >> one other follow-up. your meeting with nixon in 1987, you had it was interesting why? >> well, that was the year that my parents were killed and he told me one thing. he said, i think you should become an expert in foreign policy, which i thought was ironic when we think about that now. and the second thing is he then composed a letter to my sister that was very heartfelt and deep and was terrific. >> august 20th 1987, what happened? >> my parents were killed by a drunk driver. it was very bad. >> and you got the phone call and dealt with that, with you and your family, walk us through

those moments. >> well, i'd rather not. those are deeply personal. but what i will tell you is when i was -- my father would go to pick my mother up late at night at his job. my dad drove on a street that i thought was dangerous. it was a phone call. what i had worried about as a kid happened. but what i will tell you is it was extremely dark. but through it all, i found the meaning of faith. it changed my life. it's a way to have your life changed. it's the reality of it.

tragedy, but you know it happened all the time and when i read about it, i see it, hard felt, you know, deep into my soul and i will -- you know more appropriate, i reach out to people about to make a call to a family that lost a 21-year-old son. they live out in california and they don't know me and i don't know them but we have somebody we know in common. i don't know whether i can really say anything that will be magic, but i'm going to make the

call and talk to them about it. i didn't lose somebody like that but for whatever reason, i'm comfortable in terms of calling. maybe there is something i can say that might help them because, you know when tragedy happened, you either -- i guess you never kind of get over it, but the question is do you put it in its place? because i've seen people that have hung on to tragedy and have never been able to get over the hump and spend, you know a lifetime almost in misery. and you don't want to see that. so anyway that's -- that is what i would say about 1987. >> would your parents be surprised if they know we would have expected them to be governor of ohio? >> oh, no, they would have been in total shock. they were very happy about -- when i first got into splits, my

father didn't like it. he thought i should have a better career. but as time went on they adjusted to it. they saw me elected to congress. but, you know, it's interesting my parents have never met me wife and never met me children. but they either know about them or they don't know about them. either way, the lord is in charge whatever it is, it is, and it's okay. i work for people. i've seen governors. never been intimidated by them, but i've respected them. i don't want anybody to think you go down and see the president.

i met arnold palmer and he said okay, just call me arnold. i said okay mr. palmer. but wsh you know, it's pretty harkble thing from where i was and to be in this position. but, again to be around me for many, many years. i have people that have been working with me believe it or not, for 40 years. that's the cool thing about having a team. it was one of the things i missed being out of politics was the ability to bring a team together because teams are what move things. and through team work through principals, you know reach for the stars, that kind of stuff. but that kind of gets me pretty

excited. >> we talked briefly about your faith. you grew up catholic. you were an altar boy. your friends call you the pope. why? >> well i was really active in the searchchurch at times and kind of always felt the presence of god. but, you know, as time went on god became kind of a rabbit's foot. and it was in '87 when it became clear to the people around me that i really -- maybe that is the pope calling right there. you never know you know? no. it became clear to me that faith is really -- it's really about your duty and your purpose and think about it and kind of work at it a little bit. so i was catholic. my mother later became episcopalian and she kept

breaching to me about it. like my good son, i said yeah, mom, i've got it all figured out, but i really didn't. it was funny because the people she ultimately became connected to in the episcopal church were some of the people that came and worked with me most closely in 1987. pretty interesting. >> how did you meet your wife? >> my wife came in -- you know, they have this thing at the stadium where, you know ohio state -- i don't know if you know this, but we have a big football program out here. >> we've heard. >> yes. and they have a program that they make. and they the they would come in and get jack hannah, our great zoo guy who people would know or the governor or the senator or whatever, would put on a referee uniform and make a signal holding, whichever way it is and she came in. she was working for an ad agency and she brought a photographer and wanted to take a picture of

me. and i came in late. and i walked into the room and i saw her. and i walked straight out of my office to my top aide and i said i think i've just seen the most beautiful woman in my life. and so it took me a while but i figured it out. >> twin girls. >> yep. >> 18 years old. what do they think of their dad potentially running for president? >> it's okay. one of them has been on a few trips with me. the other one made her first trip. but they're just normal kids. you know, we live in our own home. can he didn't move into any governor's house or anything like that. they're 15-year-old girls. they've got friend. they're not consumed with what the heck dad is doing. every once in a while, they'll see something on snap chat and they'll say something to me. but it's -- at this point i

don't think it's a giant deal for them. they go about being 15-year-olds, you know? so they're not like -- although my one daughter i think, thinks she should be my top political adviser, no question about it. >> because? >> she's just intuitive. she's pretty smart. >> let me ask you about your view of government. for those who live in the shadow of government because you have a different -- >> you mean the shadows of light? >> the shadows of light thank you. what is your role in government especially for those who need it the most? >> government should be the lafrts resort, not the first resort. but if you have a big problem out there and you're not seeing it fixed, and it's something that's critical then, you know government lass a role to play. what i get concerned about is when government is going after all these things, get a little concerned that people think, okay, the government is going to do it and i don't need to do it. but, you know, when i see people

who are really in a very bad way and they're not getting much help or any help then government has a role. what i'd like to see, steve, over time, is for government to partner more effectively with people at the local level. frankly, at the local level i think there's some things people ought to take on and government can wither away. but people who are mentally ill or drug addicted or the working for the developmentally disabled or the autistic or -- you've got to help them folks to get -- they have a right to their life, too. and their passions and their purpose. if we can help in some way, i like that. >> can that work, though in today's republican party with the tea party, $18 billion in debt and many republicans said saying we need it cut, we can't raise taxes? how does all that fit in? >> well, look, we have one of the most robust recoveries in the country. we're running a $2 billion

surplus. we've cut taxes by almost 5 billion which i think is the largest in the country. and our credit is strong and we help people who live in the shadows. so, to me, that all makes sense. frankly, in a conservative party, you really want to be about opportunity. now, of course everything starts with economic growth but once you're growing, you need to reach out to people. how do you turn your back on them? we have a little of mentally ill in jails or prisons. are you kidding me? so -- and look, i'm not too worried about -- i've always sort of carved a path you know. and if you talk about this issue of medicaid one notice all these governs are now trying to figure out how they can wallets into it. and that is great. that's cool. i just want people to be helped. but frankly, you'll these programs can be changed. you need to innovate them and

make them 21st century. if you find it in the yellow pages, not necessarily a reason why government should do it. you can make them work better at a cheaper price. that's the 21st century. i'm not concerned about the nay sayers. whether it's running for office or making a decision how does john kasich make a decision? walk us through that process. >> well, it depends what it is. sometimes it's very clear to me and i'm make a decision, but a lot of times i'll ask people their opinion and sometimes all heart with them about their opinion. people that have been around me for a long time come to understand that's the way john kasich gathers information. you have to listen too. sometimes -- i had an argument

with some of my folks and i thought about it overnight.4í so it's about being a good listener. i want to hear what other people think. >> do you have the emperment to serve? >> well, i'd have the temperament to, you know, accomplish a lot of things over the course of my career. i got the budget balanced for the first time since we walked on the moon and haven't done it since. have been involved in military reform that people didn't think were possible. took a state that was basically dead and revived it. so i guess you have to decide that. >> i assume you saw the story from "the cleveland plain dealer

dealer," how does john kasich deal with -- >> i don't read those things. somebody told me about it. you know what i did? i don't even really know this person that wrote that stuff. this is hard to believe. i said a prayer for them. wharch it is that is bugging him is going to get fixed. obviously, something is bugging him big time. i don't pay attention to that stuff. >> what do you like about politics and what do you dislike? >> well, what i like about it the most is you can do some remarkable things to help people and bring about change the world. what i don't like about it is having to -- what i don't like about it is like about life, i'd rather things happen quicker. i wish people were you know they can understand the bigger picture. i mean -- it was a large part and i don't really think about the downside of it. as opposed to the upside which is the ability to do dramatic things and help people improve

the economy. that is pretty cool. like i said earlier, i think if you're not here to serve others what's your purpose.? so it's cool. >> the other downsides, obviously, is the amount of money in politics today. is there any way you think it can be changed? >> it's been changed about a hundred times and every time we change it we said we don't know why we changed it. i don't know what we should do at this point. i just don't know. i'm going to think about it. >> how much money do you think you will need to effectively run a campaign? >> that's a question for the people that run the campaign. i'm just out there as a little old candidate talking to people about my views and vision. >> how do you get the nomination? what's your path and your strategy? how do you ever do you differentiate john kasich from the other republican candidates? >> you've covered me a for a long time. do you think i have to work to differentiate myself, steve? >> to the vote erts who may not know you. >> that's why i have to be out there. i don't worry -- can i put three

ice cream cones in my mouth at once? should i take my shirt off and stand on the top of a building? either people get you or they don't. so if you overtry, that doesn't work. they say the harder you work to make a pot, the less chance you have of making it. and the quicker you stand up take a look at it ties it up quickly and hit it, you make more putts that way. >> did mr. palmer tell you that? >> no. i've learned it from experience. >> the state of america today is what? >> well, i think it's strong. i think people are they've moved into a civil war world, depression, racial violence and 9/11. we're fine at the core. we just have to believe in ourselves. get this place moving. we've got to get the economy jumping, people have to feel better and people across the

board are very worried. are they, for example, people are worried, am i going to lose my job at an older a age? it used to be job security. now what happens if i lose my job? can i get another one? my kid spends a ton of money going to college and living in my attic. what's going to happen with them? if i get sick am i going to be interrupted or if i'm poor, can i get fair treatment in the system? can i go to the mall? and i understand that. but we can come through that and be strong, but it takes all of us to be strong. it takes citizens to gather, determine, eyes on the horizon, you know inspect those are the things that work. and so it's a spirit issue more than it is a core issue, in my opinion. >> you were elected to the house when? >> 1982.

>> and you served as the chair of the budget committee for how long? >>. >> well let's see. i was on the budget committee from 1989 until the day i left. i was budget chairman from '95 until i left and i was the senior republican from '93 to '95 and i served, you know on the defense committee at the same time for 18 years. so chairman of the budget committee, one of the architects of the balanced budget. that was good. >> there is a big debate back and forth that the budget should be two years, not one year. do you support that? and if you do, how would we get to that point? >> i don't know. i haven't thought about that. but what i can tell you is we need to have a balanced budget and we need a constitutional amendment to force the congress to do its job so they stop blaming each other and just get it done. >> how did you work with bill clinton? >> respect.

they had some people that really wanted to get the budget balanced and, you know, we had our disagreements, but respect, you know? common goals. that is how you really get big things done. not when somebody is chasing a deal, not when they're hyperventilating that you have it. we could have passed something a lot earlier that would have done the job. when you're hyperventilating to get it, you're willing to give up just about everything. we didn't do that in the '90s. they realize illustrate. they realized they were serious and who they're dealing with and we got together and got it done. >> what would you have done differently based on what you've seen in the negotiations with iran and the p5 plus one? >> well, i think those negotiations have gone very poorly and i just don't know what we were doing there. i think they're clearly going to get a nuke and at the same time we're going to give them a bunch

of cash. it doesn't make sense. as i watched the thing, i am not surprised that they reached an agreement. and the reason why i'm not surprised is they've wanted an agreement so badly. steve, it's sort of like when you go out to buy a car and you see this car and the minute you fall in long with that car is the minute they've got you because you'll do about anything to get that car. then about who weeks after you're driving it you'll say why did i pay all that money? you have to be careful when you enter into sensitive negotiations. >> do you think our enemies fear the u.s.? >> yeah but i think sometimes they wonder how tough we are. i think they -- i mean, how can you not be afraid of the power of the united states? but i think sometimes they're not so sure that we are ip client to use it. but that's for now. things change. >> how would you appreciate the

presidency? and by that, i mean your tone in office, your relations with our allies around the world, your relations with congress. what would your approach be? >> well, you know you have to be a -- you have to be a leader that can unify. you know, there's two relationships that need to be fixed. our relationships with europe, it's critical that we speak with one voice, that we show respect, that we also show leadership and strength. i think they want that. that's pretty hard to fix some of those relationships. but the harder relationships are between republicans and democrats and you have to work at it. you have to build very good relations if you're going to get anything done and it can't be just with one party. and in terms of the american people, you know look, i run a big state and i think the most important thing is that the president will lisp that a

president will take actions that will convince speak that they're included that they're important, that they matter that they get a fair shake. i think that's really important in america today. that is about restoring that american dream that the next generation can be better than what we got from our parents. and you do it sometimes with policy and sometimes you do it with actions and sometimes you do it with words. it just depends. >> who do you rely on advise for outsiders? >> i've got zillions of people i talk to. i don't have like, you know, convene some assembly. i have some people who do meet on a regular basis. and i learn very interesting things when i pay attention. >> any authors? any historians? >> i've give you a a good example. one of my daughters was on a rely team. and i drove about an hour from

columbus, maybe a little -- about an hour to a more rural area. and you couldn't believe all the people that were at this track meet. they were farmers and policemen and firemen and small business people. they were all there, they were all excited they will all polite. they all wanted to celebrate excellence. i mean it was just fantastic because that's the beauty of our country. and when people are together, when they love supplements, when they understand the integrity of a track meet of a stopwatch, of a finish line, it's the best. >> a couple of other things in your resume. you spent some time on fox news. what was that like for you? >> fun. like -- you know, i didn't know which chair to sit in, but i did o'reiley for a long time. had a couple of my own shows. i enjoyed it.

i got better at it as the time went on. the key to television it's sort of like sitting here. if you're going to be interviewing people you have to let yourself go and not realize there are cameras in the room. i think i did okay at it. it kept me around a long time. if i wasn't getting numbers, i wouldn't be working there because it's all about ratings. and also subject matter. to be fair about it, but i did fine. and it was fun. i may do it again. >> you spent some time at lehman brothers. do you think that that will be an issue in this campaign? >> hope so. because i really would love to talk about my business experience. i'd be the first one that ever answered a question like that, i think, steve. i learned it fine. i learned the way ceos make decisions, the way boards of directors decide, about the way innovators work. that's incredible to understanding the free market, free enterprise system. and, you know, i also also the

weaknesses of that place the lure of money and profit and all that. but wsh you know, i was able to go all over the country and another great experience. kid that grew up in the keys rocks. the founder of this obscure company that at one point was going to go company called youtube. it's amazing to meet sergei and larry, the two founders of google. when i met them they had inline skates tied to the top of their volkswagen. now i think they have a boeing business jet with their inline skates inside. >> when you ran for governor, do you think that will be an issue again sflp. >> i don't know. i won. >> let me ask you about your personal musical taste. what's on your ipod? >> i don't -- i don't have an ipod right now that i use. i have an ipad and i have some

christian music and, you know, sort of good stuff you know? you know steve in the old days everybody was so fascinated with the fact what kind of music does he like? i like lincoln park and i like you2 and i like a lot of different bands you know? i like some of the stuff that justin timberlake does. i used to be a fan of kanye. i kind of lost a little interest there, but i like music. i try to get them to listen to songs, but i've always kind of liked music. it's really cool. but i found on the road that i have been able to listen to some beautiful, soothing driftan music, which i really hadn't done before. and i find it to be really good. >> when you travel across the country, what do most people ask you? what's on their minds?

>> what's your name. >> you know, what i hear, steve is really what we covered earlier, their anxiety is what you hear is what they're worried about or nervous about and tell me about who you are and -- but, you know, i'm not like a doctor with a stethoscope. i'm more of a hanger out in picking things up than having, you know, forever intrups or something like that. i don't do that. >> ask when you have a day off, nothing to do what does john kasich like to do? >> i spent time with my family. i like to exercise play golf. i read. i do lots of stuff. >> favorite authors? >>el with the latest one i love is c.s. lewis. i like francis shaver.

i like lots of different books. >> are you exciting about the possibility of running? >> oh, yeah. i mean, it's really pretty remarkable. it's really a chance, you know what the considered is it's a chance to really help steve. but look i've been around this business a long long time. and i'm no longer like, wow! it's a sobering prospect. i said it earlier i'll say it maybe 50 more times. 23 we're not here to serve, then i don't know what we're here for. so what's really amazing to me is no matter where i travel, i'm home because ohio is a microcosm of the country. so no matter where i am i feel like i'm home. isn't that interesting? because ohio is america and america is ohio.

so it's interesting. a lot of nice people. a lot of interesting food. a lot of interesting places to exercise. a lot of interesting conversation. it's good. imagine a kid from mckees rockss being able to think about this in a interesting way. it's remarkable. god is good. >> governor john kasich thank you for your time. >> enjoyed it. thank you. >> ohio governor john kasich's presidential announcement is tuesday morning live on c-span3. gvr kasich released an online video ahead of tomorrow's announcement. >> failed cash policy. >> i anounz my candidacy.

♪ >> what are we going to do about america? and how did we end up with 20 people running for president? and i think about who is it that has the experience to balance the federal budget? it's very hard to do. who is it that has had the experience in turning a major state from big deficits and high unemployment to prosperity? who is it that has spent time actual time, working on national security issues? you know, of all those people running, there is not one that has experience in all those critical three areas. >> who needs one more person running for president? we do. >> john kasich was elected to congress at the ripe old age of 30. >> my mom and dad didn't live in

ohio. when i won that first election, a shocking first election their reaction is johnny, what the heck are you doing? >> john was chosen to serve as chairman of the budget committee when the federal budget deficit was almost $3 trillion. when he stepped down, that deficit had become a $5 trillion surplus. >> you know, i was one of the chief architects of balancing the budget the first time we did it since man walked on the moon. we haven't done it since. >> in the real work as a commentator on fox and in finance here in ohio. >> things weren't so good. ohio had lost 350,000 jobs. the economy was tanking. the rainey day fund had, like 89 cents in it. >> well, you know when i ran for governor, ohio was almost knocked out. so there was no way to go but

up. >> oh, what a change. >> we elected him by a 2/1 margin. he won 86 out of ohio's 88 counties. >> the past six years have not been good for american power, prestige, or our safety at home. but we elected a president with zero foreign policy experience. what can we expect? amateur hour has to be over on this one. >> we need a leader who has actually led and who will get instant respect around the world. >> you know, i spent 18 years on the armed services committee with some of the finest minds in the world. >> barry gold water, john power, some of the great thinkers about national security.

i learned how we get the pentagon to work together, the services to work together. i'll never forget my experience before the gulf war, meeting the soldiers out in the desert and understanding the concerns that they had about carrying out their mission. >> what are we gonna to about america? roll the dice once more on someone without the right experience? choose from a dynasty because it's their turn another eloquent speaker guaranteed to produce standing ovations? but after that, the guarantees fall thin. >> or can we find someone who actually has the right experience someone to pal the federal budget and help makd a doubled economy book again, one who dealt with world leaders and who can ensure that america returns to the top. >> you know my father was a mailman. they called him john the mailman because he was looking out for everybody on that route for 29

years. my parents had a profound impact on my life. and the most important message that they gave me was, johnny, make sure the make where you are is a little bit better for the fact that you were there. >> i don't think a good leader really reads polls or listens to focus intrups or who yells the loudest. a good leader has a sense intuition about what's just and what's fair for the people. and that is their obligation their responsibility, to make sure they stand up for the folks. >> john kasich, for us. >> new day for america is responsible for the contests of this advertising. >> ohio governor john kasich is

you know, today i believe there's someone saying the numbers are dwindling, talk about, you know, hot topics, hot, salacious topic number two. whereas then i don't think that was the norm in tv at the time and i don't think these guys needed -- as morgan said, these guys didn't need that at the time. >> and howard was a moderator, who was a distinguished news man who was kind of embarrassed by this. he was moderating but he disappears sometimes for five or more minutes at a time. today you wouldn't have a moderator not jumping in every 30 second. so i think, really, everybody at abc just stood back and let the fire burn. >> sunday nice at 8:00 eastern and pacific. on c-span's q&a. sflo in two weeks, a forum with republican presidential candidates, c-span is partnering with the new hampshire union

year to talk to people. this time, i chose to update you on missile and isis and other warring radical militias. they are now too innumerable to name. the main point will be iran's integrated missile program. i try to show to you these two programs are not -- they're actually the same program and finally a few words about focusing on missile defense. when the iran agreement was concluded, i think it was concluded, not sure, but it's concluded, i was morlde or less on

my flight here. i'm really not aware of many of the details. so i have no prepared remarks on that. but i will be happy to answer questions to the best of my ability, not on the specifics and the details which i don't know, but about the implication. so if you have any questions about that, hold. a very good question not excellent question. an excellent question has slides. let me talk about the rockets and missiles on radical parties in the middle east. let me show several pictures. this is a recent picture and it shows a fire rocket into south israel. last week there was a big attack against the egyptian town. a very nice town by the beach.

beautiful, magnificent beach. so here are rockets ground rockets, fired at israel. by this makes sense. isis, they don't like us and they fire rockets at us. but is more bizarre is this picture. this shows isis firing rockets not at us, but at hezbollah. i can't believe my ears when i'm saying that. but here they are firing rockets at hezbollah. some of the rockets i can identify. this one on the left. but you can see the emblem here. the black flag. this was last winter. to just show you how complex the picture is now in the middle east. now, i am revisiting something which i showed a few years ago in this audience, too.

and this is ballistic missiles in the hands of isis. the story goes like this. this building here is what is purported to be a nuclear reactor. that was taken out so it was reported according to news media and was immediately -- demolished by the asset regime and were bulldozed over about the atomic committee could come and inspect it. and satellite photo shows that the building with the blue was build on that side. here is the blue building. the mystery, what was in that building. tw years ago a video was published showing them occupying. that is the same blue building and finding in it skud missiles.

amazingly sa doom hussein to syria, to assad, in order to be used against israel and firing at it is -- but that would be propaganda. i'm not sure. anyway, this is the last time we saw this missile until about half year ago. here they are again. now in basra and in the end of isis. so they have now discussed missiles which are in operation -- not operation, but you know that isis is drawing a lot of volunteers a lot of talent from all over the islamic world and they have missile experts and it could be that missile would be made operational and it could be used.

so here we have isis and ballistic missile. speaking about rockets and missiles in the hands of militias, a whole zoo of missiles is now appearing in iraq. apparently home made by shia iranian militias and there are dozens of them making home made rockets. although i'm not sure everything is home made here. the rocket engine is very big. too large to be -- any rocket. there is probably a 600 millimeter iraq iranian rocket engine being transported or supplied by them through the local militia who roll it up into all kinds of -- a whole zoo, out of dozens of different designs and look at the lounger. this is a regular iraqi army.

you can see the iraqi flank here. a very capable launching here is installed. same rocket is installed here on some kind of improvised different rock. you see all the shops are producing rockets. and here is another. this is another type of rocket a regular launcher. they have dozens of flags and i looked it up and the flags on google and you find all kinds of strange militias and flags and the one that caught my eye was a militia called shabak. it's not our shabak. it's a real anymore of something we never heard about for such an ethnic group which is associated with some kind of a splinter cord community. and they have now their own

militias and we see more of those zoos of rockets. this bombardment rocket look at this gentleman. and a huge warhead. in order to fight in closed quarter in the yar. all those flags are well identified. there are shia militias in iraq. i'm showing you a very short collection of dozens and dozens of rockets that are all gearing up to fight isis to take a part of iran the person park of iraq taken by isis. now, talking about creakivety in syria, the local rocket production and sits here for two hours with all this fascinating stuff.

for me as an engineer, fascinating stuff. but here the warhead is a canister commercial canister of -- gas. there is a short video showing it being tested. believe me it's a fuel airborne. it destroyed buildings. it's amazing. so the creativity here is really -- here it's being loaded into the launcher of this pipe. is not a tube. it's not a gun. it's just to stabilize it when it goes out. the syrian army is increasing its firepower with the help of outside for hiss. we see this russian made 220 millimeter organ. the last time we saw it in

action was in 2008. very impressive firepower. look at this em brem here. this is a syrian office and this is the emblem you find in google of the russian airborne tops. in other words this is an emergency supply testimonies directly out of the russian people that shows how desperate the situation is. just fly to the end of the ship, even without repainting them.
