as you all know the hometown of abraham lincoln with the impressive lincoln library and museum and the old state capital where lincoln served as state legislator before his presidency. in 1858, lincoln gave a speech in which he praises the desire for liberty as the strongest defense against desperatism. i quote "our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. dry this spirit and you have planted the seeds of desperatism around your own doors. " of all dates, abraham lincoln gave this speech on 9/11, 1858. a reminder of the timeless truth and significance of these words. and i consider it a duty to work for the accomplishment of these values and principles in the world of today and tomorrow. therefore, i was pleased to take on the responsibilities as leader of the world's strongest military alliance, an alliance that is not just military, but built on shared political valu values. of course taking the job was the easy part, making it all happen is slightly more complicated. meeting the security challenges we face

today at the beginning of the year -- >> what's your point, lincoln. >> i'm sorry. you're taking too long. j.j., an extraordinary fact appears in the wall street journal today. the median 401(k), the median 401(k) is up 7% from two years ago when stocks were at a high. i can't even believe that, and you couldn't have done that without being in stocks. right, j.j.? >> why? you certainly could have done it. >> the s&p is up 50% since march. >> dennis, i'm telling you it's not about just being in broad large cap stocks. it's about being more selective and this is a consumer driven economy. how can you say that the seeds of recovery are in place when the average worker is getting furloughed right now? >> in previous decades we actually had higher gdp growth than when they were financing the growth with a whole bunch of debt. >> how much -- >> steroidal and medication. i can't risk it. when that stimulus gets taken away, want to make sure the assets are going to be growing. >> lincoln, how are you that the vix is below 20. contrarians would say that's a very bad sign. >>

senator max baucus, kent conrad, blanch lincoln, tom carper, bill nelson. the amendment offered by chuck schumer also failed thanks to baucus, conrad and lincoln. it should be noted that when the gop was the majority party, he was more than willing to pass crucial legislation with a simple majority when necessary. in 1991, republicans passed 13% of legislation, the democrats passed about 7% of its bills without that 60-vote supermajority. the author of taking on the system, good evening. >> glad you're back and best of wishes to your father. >> do you think blanch lincoln. just as an example, has ever sat in a recovery room half praying for they loved one and half hoping they have the money to get through it. >> probably the most endangered senate democrat in 2010. so she's in a lot of trouble. two, the public option is very popular in arkansas, by a 3-2 margin, so you would think if you're sitting on the outside, you think, well, if you have trouble getting elected, do the popular thing and that will help you, right? lincoln votes against the public option

if she goes against this it sends a signal this is a one-party bill and blanche lincoln is the single most endangered democratic incumbent, the one most likely to lose. if she gets the guts to go ahead and vote for this program, all the moderate democrats will say if she can do it, i can do it. if she flakes on voting for this program like she should and votes against it, it's an open invitation for the moderates to join her in moving away. prior her co-senator can't remain by his lonesome and have to go with him and nebraska, senator nelson and landrieu in louisiana. and that point they can't get 16 votes and at that point they have to try to 50 but there's a lot of senators who will vote for health care reform if it's 60 but not if it's 50 because they know that some day they will be in the minority and it's the filibuster can be this easily bypassed they will have no power. so go to decreasemorris.com, i am helping to put 10-second ads on an arkansas name, every 10 minutes i want that ad on so they eat it and breathe it and absorb it which says senator lincoln don't cut my medicare

we're like the lincoln brigade except we're not affiliated with uncle joe stalin. to r as to be distinguished from my real uncle or at least great, great, great uncle vlad lenin. this is just like winn's ipo of its macau business in hong kong. talked about that. i thought winn was a buy because its macau business would give the independent valuation that would make people realize that wynn should get some credit. the principle here is the same. banco santander, the parent, which has operations all over the world, isn't getting enough credit for its ultrahot brazilian operations. banco santander is a $134 million bank that i believe after this deal will be less valuable than the sum of its parts. how long can that last? once its brazilian unit starts trading separately investors will see that. stock's going to get a boost. if santander's brazilian operations price as expected the rest of the bank is playing at an implied price to earnings multiple of 6.9 times earnings. that is super cheap when you consider that right now banco santander is trading at 11 times earni

there's even talk that the great abe lincoln may have found sexual freedom outside of marriage in the arms of -- a man. to which i say, so long ago, who cares and good for her. i don't think this letterman think would be such a thing if the women involved weren't dave's employees but rather his peers, like oprah, though i don't see that happening, truthful truthfully. or ellen. i don't see that happening at all. women shouldn't have to sleep with the boss to get ahead in the company. they should have the right to advance their careers like everyone else in showbiz by stabbing people in the back. so i say if you're going to canoodle with someone in the office, don't do it with a subordinate, do it with an equal. okay? by the way, is regis philbin still around? i saw him in the green room, he's looking really hot. but that's just me. >>> the 19-year-old man accused of plotting to blow up a dallas building made a video message for al qaeda leader osama bin laden? that's what an fbi agent testified yesterday in court. he says undercover operatives helped him record the video. he is being

there's even talk, listen to this, there's even talk that the great emancipator abe lincoln may have found freedom outside of marriage in the arms of a man to which i say it so long ago, so what, who cares and good for her. i don't think this letterman thing would be such a thing if the women's involved dating employees, but his peers. although i don't see that happening, truthfully. or ellen. i don't see that happening at all. women shouldn't have to sleep with the boss to get ahead in the company. they should advance their careers like everyone else in show biz by stabbing other people in the back. i say if you're going to cunoodle with someone in the office, don't do it with a subordinant, do it with an equal. by the way, is regis fillman still around? i saw him in the green room, he is looking really hot. >> hr, please. you can catch the "joy behar show." >>> we have vaccines to fight the flu, meseles and mumps but a new one could help people beat drug addiction. >>> plus, a mom reported her 14-year-old son missing only to find out he was on a cross country flight. you have to he

abraham lincoln did during the civil war. harry truman had a big difference of opinion with mcarthur. president bush had a difference of opinion. do we need more troops or a different strategy? it's possible the answer may be yes and yes. more troops to try and build up capacity, stabilize the country as best we can although there will always be an imperfect place and then pivot to a counterterrorism strategy once we've accomplished that. >> when you have a military commander on the ground, a guy who is not only anxpert in the situation relative to afghanistan, but is a strong military leader hand picked by the president to lead the effort in afghanistan, i think you've got to go with him. you've got to go with the detailed study that he has made and you have to remember that what general mcchrystal is recommending is really twofold. certainly more troops are going to be necessary to secure the peace in afghanistan and stop the violence. but as bob casey just said, we've also got to have a civilian component to this issue. if

officer: your honor, i was doing stationary radar when i observed a 2000 gray lincoln break my radarmiles an hour in a 35-mile-an-hour zone. dave: what's your response to that, sir ? jeff: my response is that this officer is bull( honk ). dave: whoa, whoa, whoa ! i don't wanna hear that language in here. jeff: the officer is full of it, okay ? this right here is a speed trap. you don't see the 35-mile-per-hour sign until you're damn near 200 yards away. at that moment, he's sitting there waiting on you to clock you, saying you're speeding. this is actually a model of the hill on 159th. when i actually see the sign that says 35 miles per hour, i'm still doing 45 miles per hour, but you don't see this until, like, 200 yards later. dave: officer, let me ask you this. where does the speed limit change ? muldrow: the speed limit actually changes at the sign. i think what the defendant's issue was is that he wasn't focused on what he was doing. jeff: first of all, he wasn't focused. when we get over the hill, he was on the phone ! i have a witness. he'll tell you i wasn't speeding. if you
