>> the nunn group has been fantastic.as you know, they almost initiated this in 2007 with the op-ed article-- >> rose: right in the wall street journal. >> and the follow-up in 2008. these are not lefty pansies, these guys, and there are many others. and george shuttle supports the start treaty and secretary-- >> rose: perry. >> perry and others, they support this. so as i said, the great liberal, ronald reagan, it was his dream, and many other conservatives that we show in the movie, have supported it. and it goes back to, i believe, post-9/11. people have changed the way they think about nuclear weapons because we live in a very different world. we don't live in the state actor world where primarily it's russia against the united states, china against-- you know. it's a very different world and it's scary. >> rose: thank you for coming. lwarence bender, the film is called "countdown to zero."

my father, william nunn sr., chester washington, and wendell smith covered him extensively.hes and wendell spent time where joe trained right on up until the fights themselves. >> narrator: each win made joe louis even more popular with courier readers, and then he fought max baer. 24, 1935. joe louis knocked out max baer, a former heavyweight champion, in only four rounds. boxing fans couldn't wait to read about it in the courier. >> chester washington and bill nunn flew back with the pictures, and we start putting 'em on the press where the pictures were put on the front page of the pittsburgh courier going out to the 13 different editions that we had at the time, and the people from all the different parts of the country were calling in for newspapers, so we were trying to process those calls. >> narrator: the courier also covered baseball, especially the pittsburgh crawfords and the homestead grays. >> black baseball really was a big business during that era. the courier was a big part of the coverage of not only those two teams, the grays and the crawfords. they played

the nunn approach them with the idea that they will defend you, they're not there to defend you. do not approach them with the idea that they are there to be fair to you because that is not their obligation. you might ask, what is their obligation, the first is to defend the objectives of the people or those that appointed them to the task force or board. to work with the city agencies to move forward their agendas despite how it might affect the individual citizen or our community. lastly, do not assume that they will make any effort to protect your right under the u.s. constitution, the constitution of the state of california, the city and state of san francisco ordinances, or even their own. they will disregard any or all of those if it moves forward the agenda of the city. why do i say these things? well, they served in most cases to support the agenda of the city, not to defend you, not to support you, or even give you a chance. >> good afternoon, supervisors. [singing] sugar pie, city, now don't you know i love you? i cannot help myself, i love you and in of the else. -- an

nunn and the rest of the state. it did not touch our beaches. it did not affect the hotels or their restaurants. what we do suffer from a little bit is the perception that there was more will here. there really was not. we were very fortunate and blessed. we continue to want to get the message out. people, please, come down to florida. the beaches are clean. tavis: what dimeter different direction, you use the word "perception." the perception is that republicans and members of your own old party forced to you, compelled you come to have to make a decision to leave the party to become an independent. i do not want to, much more than that. walk me through your process for having made that decision and whether or not you felt the impact -- fell compelled to make that decision. >> in some ways, yes. i am not a guy that blames others for things. i really have been asking questions in several ways. did i leave the party or did the party leave me? i think the party left knee. i was proud to be a member of the republican party of abraham lincoln or ron

but there was really some, as they call them, whales, the sam irvin, richard rull succeeded by sam nunn and moderate republicans, case, hatfield, later bill cohen. and they really would work together on some issues. bill cohen and gary hart wrote books together when they were in the senate, republican and democrat. i think all that in today's senate is almost unimaginable. >> rose: is this why you left the senate >> it's one of the reasons i left the senate. when i was growing up, if you couldn't be president of the united states, the next best thing would be a united states senator. in the good old days you left the senate one of two ways, you either died in office or you were defeated. you rarely left voluntarily. but in 1996 there were 14 of us who retired that year. there were different reasons but there was a common core element as well and that was what one writer called the demosclerosis. the sclerotic dysfunctionalty of what was taking place. and it happened over a period of time, al and george are talking about the good old days and everybody thinks about the good old days but

. >> i have heard from my friend in georgia that the -- it was the nunn commission who had it that in 1992, where they put a ban on all incentive compensation. the second panel will talk about that and point out how that was changed in the 2001 or 2002. with all the safe harbors that are there, that basically negated what was done in 1992. the second panel will get into this. senator casey? >> that you for your testimony. it was an lightning to see the video as well as to have read the report. i have to say in the interest of full disclosure i was the auditor general in pennsylvania, so i know what it is to issue reports like this and then being criticized for not being popular. i have a high degree of skepticism when a report like this gets attacks. i will put that on the table. i was struck by the scope of what you found. i was looking through by way of summary at pages 9 through 13, and when you break it down into the categories of deceptive or questionable statements, whether accreditation intermission, graduation rate, employment, program duration, cost, financial aid, 15 college

as some of you alluded to earlier, that ban was enacted in 1992 after the nunn commission hearings which found substantial problems in recruiting similar to the ones we've seen today. i also pointed out that the department of education also covered this ground in the 1970s, there doesn't appear to have been any statutory result to congresss and the department's investigation into recruitment practices in the 1970s, but i did include some information in our written testimony, indicating has been a problem that far back. our concern about the safe harbors that were enacted in 2002 is that they have effectively gutted the incentive compensation bath that was passed by congress in 1992. our concern specifically is that it has created a road map for institutions to circumvent the law as it was designed originally by congress. we pointed out in 2002 to the department as we have pointed out in our written testimony today, that what would result from the safe harbors was fairly widespread potential for fraud and abuse, actual fraud and abuse. and unfortunately, i think we've seen this born out.
