jim bob, what's the message here?t the beginning and all of the struggles and challenges. the lord gave us grace to get through it. it goes deeper into our lives of why we do what we do and what makes us tick and all the bible principles behind why we do what we do. it's a special book. not just because we wrote it but hopefully it will encourage families. many have encouraged us over the years. hopefully it will be a great inspiration. >> it goes without saying every time we have you on the show or talk about you we get a lot of comments. a lot of people have questions. one thing people want to know is during these difficult financial times how you do it. i know you both have real estate licenses but how do you make ends meet? >> good question. back about 20 years ago we went through jim salmon's financial freedom seminar to get out of debt and stay out of debt. that helped us to get established. then we -- we paid cash for the house, built it at a family project. >> is it a monthly struggle? are you making sure you

jim bob this is your second grandchild. but your first grandson.'s very special. and i always thought that, you know, having children was very special. but having grandchildren is like josh and anna have all the responsibility. we get to have all the fun. >> and michelle, we are hearing a newborn crying in the background. you've heard a lot of newborns cry in your lifetime. it must be a welcome sound to you. >> oh, it is so precious. and anna does such a good job. and the little man is so sweet. >> josh, this is going to be, sounds like almost too personal question, but given the circumstances, probably not. you come from this big, big family. are you and anna going down that same road? do you expect to have a very large family? >> well, you know, i just tell people jokingly all the time, we're just going for 125. so, no. i think each child is a gift and a blessing. and, you know, i think whether you have two or whether you have 19 or somewhere in between, really, you luch each child that god gives you and that's really what's most important. it's

[applause] >> thank you very much, grace-marie, jim, bob and all the other folks that are respected institutions and harpercollins for making this wonderful book, rocket possible. i'd like to thank the obama administration, the last congress for making this necessary, i don't want to. so let's just continue our collective -- our books written to provide you with a firm foundation understanding of the serious consequences of the unaffordable care act, or a.k.a. tca for americans and injuries slices of life. i think we did it in a clear and accessible manner at least my co-authors did. but there's always a bit of the bill murray groundhog day experience in wondering how we continue repeating the experience of many of the same basic health policy mistakes year after year. although this law has tried hard to expand the scope of elected failures to come. however, i think a better metaphor of the moment comes in december 1997 episode of the seinfeld show involving the celebration of festivus. the holiday alternative to the over commercialized high pressure christmas season, festivus for the rest of us

gingrey, myself, many others, bob filner, dr. mcdermott, jim mcgovern. on and on and on. that think this is a bad idea. why do we think it's a bad idea? we believe the people's representative, that would be us, if there's going to be a cut medicare some nameless, faceless board shouldn't have

in any case, jim, as bob was nice enough to mention, spent much of world war ii with a combat historianwhere franklin roosevelt was his commander in chief. jim once said when i came back from world war ii, i knew i must write a book about franklin roosevelt, and he started very quickly with 1945 not long after the president died. i think at that point the presidents -- were still in the torpedo factory and alexander virginia. than they were moved here and procedures at the roosevelt library in those days were little bit more relaxed than they are nowadays. jim has told me more than once of the fact that he and frank friedel, the great roosevelt biographer, were both here and they were here for long spells and they were away from their family so they wanted to get as much done as possible while they were here and hyde park. as much as they otherwise had to do it in hyde park of course but they wanted to get back to their families. and so in the relaxed atmosphere of of the time they were able to pay a security guard to stay until midnight silk they could just work until midnight and gets
