that was the people who self-identify as arabs who live in khartoum and along the nile. since then it has been a story of the hegemony of the ethnic groups that define themselves as arab along the nile against everybody else. it is the story of marginalization. it is also a story of climate change because the sahara along here is moving south, in some places as much as 20 miles a year and other places as much as three miles a year. this is having an extraordinary domino effect and a lot of the ethnic groups who are living here, mainly self identified arab, having to move and they're moving onto land occupied by people who self identified as black african. now you are going to get bored of me saying people self-identify but here's what i have learned. in my time working in 12 different afghan countries. does not matter the content of your blood. there is intermarriage everywhere. what matters is how you self-identify in part of the story with sudan is unfortunately the racism of some of the air of groups who consider themselves to be racially superior to the black african

there are employers who use health reimbursement accounts who i believe use them properly, who do not have expirations. who provide benefits statements regularly, who allow the broadest possible use of the account, and whose employees may elect to use their benefit to be part of healthy san francisco, to be part of a spouse's health plan, to meet a copayment, or to drop it down any way they choose. we have such a diverse employment base that we have people who work five hours a week. but in cases i know they get $1.37 per hour, and when the have a package of receipts for clarity and, -- claritin, aspirin, contact lens solution -- they submitted. my concern is our small employers and our high road employers who are doing everything to comply with the spirit and letter of the law, which is to make money available to employees for their personal health care. to that, i have to say that 55% reimbursement rates for medical reimbursement accounts, i think, is a really good goal. if that is what the city can do with all of the city's outreach, education, language -- we have a very educated a

was the son of grandparents who were sharecroppers, who raised him and he went to yale law school. he did everything right, including allowing for anita hill to rise through the rank0s of the legal profession through jobs with him, where she never had a sexual relationship with him at all. he did nothing untoward, and she was party to this takedown, and i did not understand how it could be that these white people of privilege were attacking this black man who was in this historic position while the main stream media sat -- took him down while the knapp and -- the naacp and the urban league and other black leaders seemed to relish this takedown. >> who was your mentor -- we're going to get to this later -- who was murdered and you didn't know whether to cry or not. it was along that time you started questioning indoctrination. >> the smartest person i ever met was guy named mike. i was delivering pizza in high school. and he was different. he was alternative and was the smartest guy i ever knew. he wasn't the most ethical guy. he took the sats for a bunch of my friends and got them

didn't do anything wrong who are you who are being prosecuted because the regulators are certified about not having done anything before they take a fall guy and vice versa you see traders who you know feel that they're actually trying to make a better system but they're not getting any help i get letters from more traders than anyone else saying disaster awaits this can't go on price discovery is broken ok well in order for all the smart manipulation to go on all this huge volume of trading to happen off the market over the counter and it requires a lot of money to be borrowed from wall street banks to look to agree our c.e.o.'s like lloyd blankfein jamie diamond culpable in committing massive fraud on the futures exchanges i would be very surprised if they don't understand how this works but i think other end of the spectrum. street has been investing very diligently into creating loopholes in this market creating the legal over and. thanks. to do these things it's their best investment amber is to be able to manipulate the financial system and be able to do it legally and that is what

"thrown to -- the road to serfdom, is what a lot of people recommend, but he wrote about politics and neuroscience, an incredible and breadth of knowledge, and had an impact in the 1930's and the 1940 costs. he got the nobel prize, and it has a rebirth we are trying to encourage. we think his ideas are very important. >> didn't you graduate from the university of chicago, >> i did. >> did you ever meet him? >>

are what can really change that who has the power to do it who has the force to do it and you know who would be interested in changing that will voters obviously have the ability to make those changes they have to have the ability to not choose politicians who are beholden to wall street theoretically but the problem is wall street heavily sponsors both the republican and the democratic parties so automatically no matter who becomes the front running candidate for the presidency it's going to be a creature of wall street look at barack obama who i personally admired her on during his campaign of two thousand and eight but if you look at his his his record goldman sachs was his number one private campaign contributor what about a third party is you know is that even an option or is that never going to happen in this country. it will seriously i don't see it i don't see it becoming a major having a major impact i think you might see the occasional politician who is who is really not part of that world not rather you know if people are obviously understanding at this point that democrats

asked me about, who went to st. pauls? there you are. um, about, you know, straddling those different worlds. there was a point at milton when i could outwasp the wasps, right? [laughter] right? i knew, i knew how to use summer as a verb. [laughter] i knew what the old money and the new money destinations were by name. i'd never been to any of 'em, but i knew what they were. [laughter] you know, i cracked the code. and this isn't, this isn't unique to milton. this is, you know, going to a new workplace, it's going to a new school, it's figuring out the code, right? um, i think what was, um, incredibly helpful to me and important, um, to me is that there were a couple of teachers who made it a point to help me crack the code. and it was, actually, a very loving gesture. you know, if you're not too defended about that sort of thing, it can be very helpful. but it also puts you, um, it also jeopardizes, you know, your place in that other world. right? i can remember, and i write in the book about being home and trying

who were the people who were arrested? it wasn't the big guys who were smuggling liquor in, the seagram manufactures, et cetera. it was the immigrants, the poor people. it was the working class people in cities all over the country who the law was designed for in the first place because if you go back and look at the history of it, you see the people put forward these proposals didn't specifically with the idea and intention of using it to control the poor, marginalized in the powerless. martin luther king said one of the ways that you know a law is unjust is if it was enacted by the majority to be imposed on the minority. so we need to actually ask ourselves, we're all the white drug users, the ones we see an intervention and making bad and all the other programs that are on tv telling us that white folks are using drugs. how come we don't see them behind bars? why is that? because the goal of drug prohibition was never about controlling the drug use of the majority population. it was always to be about controlling us. an

it is the voice of reasonable, fair minded people, who love this country, who are patriotic, who seeted states as the indispensable nation of this world. [applause] and my voice is one that is part of a much larger movement to take back our country. and i want to take that voice to the white house. it is the voice of constitutional conservatives who want government to do its job and not our job, and what our government to live within its means, not our means, and certainly not our children's means. i am here today in waterloo, iowa to announce -- we can win in 2012, and we will win. [cheers and applause] it may have started small, but our voice is growing louder. our voice is growing stronger, and it is made up of americans from all walks of life, like a three-legged stool. it is made up of strength conservatives, and i am one of those. it is made up of fiscal conservatives, and i am one of those. it is made up of social conservatives, and i am one of those.

who's the one who sees clearly? it's not atticus finch. he's not even a very intelligent father. i love him. i love him. but who lets your kids out in the middle of the night wearing -- dressed as farm animals and fruit when there's a craze killer who's vowed to get them? you say, fine, you don't need me to walk you home. you can do it yourself. is that -- is that smart? is that a good dad? bo radley is the one who actually has it straight, right? he knows those kids are going to get into trouble. he's out there and he does something about it. he's the one who gets justice in the book. you know, and so when you really think about it, if you can put through this wonderful vision of the child, if you can stop looking at this problem from a child's point of view, then you'll get a new take on "to kill a mockingbird," i think. you know, one that's much more actually meaningful to you. so -- >> ok. thanks. mary. >> yeah. >> oh, great. we lost you for a minute there. >> i know. >> yeah. so tell us -- how did you choose "to kill a mockingbird" as the subject for your book and for your f

who want. to move. over thirty thousand troops to leave. france now says it's also prepared to pull out all of its forces by the same date military commanders however warned that progress against the taliban is a fragile and gains against the militants could be reversed or lost nearly seventy seventy thousand u.s. troops are said to remain in afghanistan with a complete pullout promised by twenty fourteen the u.s. secretary of state has been seeking to convince congress that obama's strategy is the right approach to winning the war. has more commentary. clinton faced difficult task and that is to justify the billions of u.s. taxpayers dollars on the war that seems to have no and insight and there was a great deal of skepticism among the senators even amid the announced withdrawal of troops in afghanistan so the secretary of state had to focus on podhoretz accomplished and there and she did she mention the killing of key al qaeda members also that as she said the u.s. has broken the taliban momentum although various reports on the ground sug

i know who did it, how and why. and by god, when i write that book, i'm going to make sure justice is served. i think that's why people keep coming back to lawyer books in particular because there's a lot of drama in the courtroom. there's always a murder. there's always big stakes. i've written books about death penalty cases. the stakes don't get any bigger than that. and i think it was important to me to have the center of my books a defense attorney who is the kind of guy, the tony serra's of the world, the person you would call if you got into serious trouble. and there are a lot of corrupt lawyers in my books. there are a lot of nasty people in my books. there are a lot of lawyers who are not portrayed in a particularly favorable way. but the centers of my story are two small time criminal defense attorneys who work on michigan street. and if you get accused of a crime, those are the people you want to call. >> that's my approach. and they're both former public defenders, right? >> yes, they are. they are both

these people who are people who are you know who have if. that is a ladder are going to have been let them have a comprehensive immigration reform and in the meantime let's put the magnet let's put the employers in jail. it's an interesting thought however getting back to this is. the it's a good folks of drugs have been stepped upon and they've got offend their own interests and this is a start it may not be the best solution but it is the beginning and as i said let's hope it spreads into other areas i know that i go to st i live there are about americans thank thank you very much for being black you again in my opinion this is an employer problem not an illegal immigration problem once we start throwing corporate c.e.o.'s in jail for taking advantage of cheap illegal immigrant labor and exploiting it and there won't be people rushing across the border looking for jobs in america but the pressure on c.e.o.'s not the cabdrivers. right now sea levels around the world are rising at a rate faster than any other time in the last two thousand ye

the naacp who leader who washi the most important from a labor union the president of historical a black colleges from black newspapers formed a coalition in the late 1930's two push for african-american inclusion and saw this as the tip of the iceberg to force the t federal government to create great opportunities for african-americans giving them a chance to prove patriotism and competencies' of they could use that to further civil-rights goals after the war. they weren't able to force rose about to create the program in 1940. the naacp have been calling for this since the least 1937. every year they pass a resolution that the army air corps in particular all branchesco because this was considered the cream of the crop the most technologicallyid advanced, if you think to what pilots look like with a leather jackets and scars ander goggles, the masculine ideal of the day.ever everybody wanted to be a military pilot and i have been told the zero women in college had pinups of pilots like spellman college you think of men having been ups but i have been told wives they had pinups as well.

so she said who's your judge?ho's your state's attorney and we talked and she said she knew both of them. and after a while she was like, you know, it was -- you know, she couldn't believe that i was in there that long. but she wished me the best and i told her i would get an officer to take her down. so i went back down to get an officer and take her down. and when the officer came back up, he said i don't know what you did to her, but she said, you know, get in contact we are. and i was like, okay, so i went to the guy who she came to see. and i asked him about her, and he said that she was charging him $150,000 for one of his cases and like 60,000 for another case. so immediately i was like, okay, well, i can't afford her so -- [laughter] >> so i dismissed that thought. but over time, over maybe three or four months, she had me in contact with my judge, with my public defender and also with my mother. so i still -- i really didn't think that she would take the case on. so she took her price down from -- [laught

sigh -- netherlands that people who cycle to work have more than people who don't. also the environment there are a lot of things you can capitalize because you don't have to invest on electric cars or transit or whatever to reduce the carbon dioxide, because the emissions of bicycle is zero. there is a huge problem in the u.s. by traffic noise. a lot of people are not aware of it but the effects for people being constantly having traffic noise are enormously. also, in the netherlands productivity loss because the effect that, for instance, in amsterdam, so many people cycle means that there will be a lot less congestion. when you have ever visited amsterdam, see all of these people cycle and who think what would happen if all of these trips would have to be made by car, then there would be no more amsterdam economy because no one would be able to move about. there would be one giant traffic jam all day. so the bike is the grease in the amsterdam economy. you have to build less highways, you have to build less parking garage. you put the bike -- use very little spac

when you execute someone who has been there for 12 years, you are not executing the same man who came in. the notion that the system has no flock, -- stanford law school has posted something from 1900, and this is well documented. these are innocent people being executed. in that same time, almost 400 other people were released from death row before they were executed because they were found to have been innocent. >> ladies and gentleman. at 4:a.m., edward earl johnson was executed in the gas chamber -- with the sentence of the second court, and i'll be glad to entertain any questions that you may have. >> he indicated his innocence, and he regretted the situation and he felt no ill will towards anyone. and he was thankful that the process was coming to a close. and he stated, that he was not guilty. >> innocent people go to death row and more of them die. this was enough to cause any government to stop and take stock of where this was regard to the death penalty. in regard to that question, it always comes down to the morality of it all. >> let's start with questions for the panelist

souls to the corporate interests who back them. and who have just horrible society-killing ideas about america. and either don't know what's real or don't care. >> what do you mean by society killing? >> well, like -- like tim pawlenty and every one of them competing for this idea oftenly reducing taxes when we are on the one hand screaming about how we're in debt and on the other hand the answer is to somehow decrease revenues. you know, they all act like god created the world in january of 2009, and then barack obama completely screwed it up. >> a lot of people thought michelle baushman who i know you've had some choice words for over the months and years did well last night. would you agree? >> of course not. she did well by what standard? because she's able to speak and complete sentences? yeah, i heard that analysis. oh, she was very effective. she spoke in short sen ternss and was good. you know, i mean, the standards are so low. let's be honest. we're judging her against sarah palin. that's what it is. and yes, compared to s

the ones who bought the c.d.'s if in fact there is a default so the question is were the american banks suckered into buying these c.d.s. contracts in the same way that george public was suckered into selling them or is there something else going on you know you know what has a really good question i've been i've been trying to figure out what could be o's with this sovereign c.d.s. market in general for some time now because as many people have pointed out in some cases it's clearly fake insurance and in the sense that there are c.d.'s contracts on u.s. treasury debt and in my opinion if you have a u.s. default who exactly is going to have a capital reserves to pay out the claims on insurance contracts on the on the u.s. thought so in general it's to me it just this fits in another example of this massive counterparty risk risk that exists in the system that i think functions as a sort of massive source of anxiety for a lot of these banks so there's interest agree factor which makes them push countries like greec

who he is-- who really lashed out at the zoo story: um, his own homosexual... undertones? he's one of the most heterosexual writers we have. really objected to that play, you know, quivering with--with outrage at what i was doing. now-- philip roth, i think his name was. [laughter] his lawyers can call your lawyers. i could-- i could be wrong. i don't want you guys to get sued. that's right. that's right. statements of guests are theirs and theirs alone. [laughter] you've never been deterred by criticism of your work, and in fact, sometimes you strike back. and probably the most heavily censored work you've done is also the most famous: who's afraid of virginia woolf? yeah, that was a fairly early play, my fifth play, and i ran into a bunch of trouble with that one. after the success of the play in new york-- in english, by the way-- they decided to do it in london. and back in those days, there was an organization in london called the royal chamberlain's office, which was there to look over the script of any play to be done in great britain and censor it on th

who wants a cunning friend? this goes on for a couple months where it is getting progressively creepy year where he is ending phone calls by saying don't do what is it you people say? don't be naughty. who says that? nobody says that. he wanted to buy me a phone because he said my phone was tapped and his phone was tapped and i told him you are former prime minister. you cannot buy me a phone. is not acceptable and this culminated in shortly after the mumbai attacks, i kept talking to my editor saying i think this guy is interested in me. i can talk to him anymore but i had to talk to this guy because he is the most powerful opposition leader so i went to see him after the mumbai attacks and he told me where the one surviving gunman was from. pointed me into the right village. i was the first western journalist to get to that village but during that meeting my translator was with me and he asked the translator to leave and said he had bought the a fun and eyes that i can't except the phone and we went back and f

the fact is people who are 50 and above are the only people in the country right now who have savings, a disposable income and this is an aging country. it's a baby boomer country which means that the leading network in terms of revenue cbs. not anybody under the age of 40 have you ever watched the cbs show? one? nobody watches under the age of 40 yet this is one of the highest rated shows on television because everybody over the age of 50 watches the shows and cbs rakes in the dough but they said the tv executives scan the advertisers to believe none of those people truly matters of a flight to the advertisers. why do they lie to the advertiser? originally abc, cbs, nbc in the late 1960's adc pacelli it's a major urban areas getting box handed to them by cbs which has affiliate's everywhere it was having all the talk shows the beverly hillbillies, green acres not exactly liberal urban shows. what happened is abc secured okay we've got to make money how are we going to do this? scan the advertisers and tell them our viewers are more important than theirs and because there's little cri

will vote where, who cannot vote and who made it -- and who may be disenfranchised. whoever is chosen for this task force will need to be fair, focused and objectives. my experience of living and working in districts, working with a diverse community, not just in terms of race and ethnicity and didn't come up professional background will be valuable. if you have any questions, i will be happy to answer them. supervisor elsbernd: i thought u.s. your standard question which is appropriate -- why this commission? why this one? >> i have not applied, have served before on the advisory committee for several years. i served on that committee for the same reason applying to this one. i really believe it is important to be involved in issues that affect people city-wide. i feel for districting is a very important issue that will have the impact in years to come and one that i think is very important to be able to have a clear voice on. as someone from an immigrant family and as someone who grew up working class and as someone who is now a city employee and living in san fran

and the people who show up to watch this. and the whole show of people who are there for this. you cannot walk away from this without having been impacted. i want to talk about the war and has said, that these executions have been 7-10 years after the crime and we're not executing the same person. in california, everyone who has been executed has been 20 years after the crime and you are not executing the same person. people do change. from my observation of the victims' family members, and nothing that there is anything that execution can do for them. i think they come there with high hopes that they will somehow feel better, and that they will somehow be able to close this event, and you just -- it just does not happen. these are horrifying crimes. my heart goes out -- out to the victims' families. >> would you say that the instances -- instances of the executions, or any of these meritorious? did you see someone put to death that he thought was innocent? >> not in the cases that i dealt with. the things i oversaw, and guilt or innocence was not a question. in one case, it wa

there is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire. one more thing, gentlemen, before i quit. thomas jefferson once said that all men are created equal, a phrase which the yankees and the side of the executive branch in washington are fond at hurling at us. there is a tendency in this year of grace, 1935, to use this phrase out of context to satisfy all conditions, the most ridiculous example i can think of is when the people who run our public education promote that stupid and idle along with the industryous. because all men are created equal, educators gravely tell us the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inadequacy. we all know that all men are not created equal. in the sense some people would have us believe. some people are smarter than others. some have more opportunity because they're born with it. some men make more money than others. some ladies bake better cakes than others. some people are born gifted beyond the normal scope of most m

so my protagonist is someone who is an ex-jazz musician, who spent his adult years playing with black groups, he comes back to san francisco at a time when japan town is still sort of unraveling from this sort of who lives here, who doesn't live here, and he wants to find japan town again, find his own sort of home while at the same time around him his own community is looking at him as if he is a traitor. so as he says and used to say in the play, i'm on the outside of the outside. my country thinks i'm a criminal, my own community thinks i'm a traitor. how does he sort of find home for himself in america given that kind of a set up? so that's where the stories all kind of converged and my central character, where he came from and his journey and his -- his journey, what he has to go through during the course of the play. >> this central character, chet, is a very interesting one. i gather during the process there were some events that happened in contemporary news concerning a certain japanese american left tenant or aaron wataga >> yeah, lieutenant aaron wataga >> could you talk ab

out of you know what is that was a more serious question which is who who's going to be the nominee for the president of the united so a presidential race in two thousand and twelve something like this is you know it's a side show for sure but at least i find this one more entertaining than a lot of the drivel that the media continues to cover and think it's really important i don't know i find this one a little demeaning for the media personally i can tell you but i have it on my show yesterday or the last week we've been talking about patriot act we're talking about the war in libya war powers and we're talking about the economy and we're talking about housing prices and yet here they are talking about this and i want to play a clip actually. every time maddow who i normally do i like her a lot and then this is where it really off slight downhill for me because you haven't answered a question about whether the photo is you or not you realize that now everybody thinks the photo is you and so where there's smoke there's fire there must be a real scandal here you must be doing someth

he's got a bushel meets the french foreign leader in the pen who's taken over from a famous father who ran for the presidency five times well ahead of next year's presidential elections in france she shares her views on the country's policies. so when i'm president of first round victory in france's presidential elections next year he says that france is on the verge of revolution but what tactics do you expect nicolas sarkozy to use to try and stop you would in power. you know i don't think there is a risk person a sincere and of france he's a her own ideas there is no reason to warry the greatest danger in connection with nicolas sarkozy so he may again do what you did in two thousand and seven when you made a number of extremely tough statements regarding the threats regulation of immigration procedures and european protectionism but those statements will remain what they are just verbiage after all during his four years in office and another nine years or they're out of the security system he was interior minister before he became president he strictly speaking nothing as i repeate

like is sort of the people who are suffering no who are who are simply trying to put the two million private sector employees in greece who are actually bearing the brunt of these draconian austerity cuts. cuts is mounting you know the e.u. states to spain we saw a mass protest against the harsh measures don't go referendum campaign believes it's too late to save greece spain could be next to talk. if we just keep pumping money into greece it's only putting off the death of their autonomy they are already bankrupt we have to wake up and smell the coffee and say enough is enough greece is going to go ireland's going to go portugal and of course the big one everyone is worried about is the state of supply and that is what some of our banks like portaloos have been reducing our liabilities in spain because clearly the property slump in spain is much bigger than the spanish government is telling people they say there's only been a drop of eighteen percent i do radio shows in spain people are losing seventy percent sixty percent in a fire you with their homes and their developments spain

suburban maryland homes and who pays the price the people who are the victims of the attack is there accountability none whatsoever drones have become the symbol of america's undeclared wars wars that seem to have no state all legal boundaries we've opened up a new realm of warfare a new room of breaking international and domestic law. used in pakistan yemen and elsewhere they have killed scores of civilians. the former chief counterinsurgency strategy for the u.s. state department has estimated that drone attacks killed fifty non targeted persons for each in candide target one of the things the united states kind of pretends is that we are morally superior we are better just able to judge what is good for other people and therefore we are entitled to inflict our judgement on them and that we presume they will be grateful to us for it but that is not what happens ever and it's not what's happening in iran then it's not what's happening in pakistan they are furiously enraged with us washington is looking to increase the funding food room development by seven times over the next ten ye

who were.what are the principal selection of the friends for the festival today in a modern days are they ok yes of course because in the soviet times. most important part of the first there was to see the commercial broadcasters from the united states europe and india which people didn't see in here and there were a lot shown in cinema the other fifty weeks or so here at festival is something organized to see films that you can seriously now the hollywood blockbusters are all over the place so and we are showing films that you can see anywhere that means art house experimental artistically interesting movies which means that the audience is smaller than during soviet times are because the audience of film buffs is not as larger dogs instead of large ones to see underneath once again so does the basic difference the natives difference is that the festival has become more specialized the more professional there is a business school business where the festival there are several meetings about fil

who are you more comfortable with? who do you feel is more dangerous to you? a politician who understands the basic truths of governing? and is willing to lie about it for his political convenience? or a politician who is drowning in her own relentless ignorance. and has no idea of the magnitude of his ignorance. i for one have grown slightly more comfortable with the lying politicians who understand the basics of governing and are willing to lie about it to score political points simply because there is so much more of that in our politics than the sheer ignorance thing. and there always has been. in our political history, up to and including the present day nothing but nothing has been lied about more than taxes. by the time bill clinton ran for president in 1992, republicans had been successfully lying about taxes for so long. that the only way clinton could find to counterer what republicans had lied about was to do what apparently came so naturally to him both as a person and a candidate and lie about it himself. bill clinton campaigned on a middle class

who's not there. let's start with that. that would be mitt romney, who's not here. attending this year. he won the straw poll here last year, but not attending this year. also not here is tim pawlenty, the minnesota governor. john huntsman was supposed to be here, called in sick, didn't make it. a lot of these candidates who aren't coming are saying they have scheduling conflicts. who was here? newt gingrich was pretty well received. yesterday you had a lot of pretty good receptions here to the speakers. we're talking about herman kaine, the former godfather's pizza ceo. he really wowed the crowd. four-times standing ovations for him. ron paul, he got a loud, loud, loud applause as well. rick santorum had a pretty good speech. but overall, probably the biggest star yesterday was michele bachmann, the congresswoman from minnesota. here's a little taste of how it went yesterday. >> get ready, 2012, the tea party will be bigger than ever! because the tea party and all of america has one goal, and it's this, that barack obama will be a one-term president! >> but it is u

there are other people who saw what was coming, people in the, in the georgia area who were first to wave the flag and call out the rating agencies for inserting themselves in a process where georgia had the most toughest predator lending law this country, but the ratings agencies walked in and said we will not rate any securities that contain georgia loans. and so all of that predatory lending law had to be gutted because the rating agencies said they would not rate those loans. so we had people along the way who were jumping up and down and warning, so there are some heros in the book, i'm glad to say. >> thank you. >> you make a very strong case for the central role of housing policy and the behavior of the gses as factors in the build-up to the crisis, but i have never been able to understand how a housing policy leads private investment banks to go bankrupt. it seems to me that when bear and lehman went bankrupt, that it seemed like there was a lot of mere incompetence or possibly malfeasance in the behavior of those institutions and many others that contributed to the failure o

several of the gingrich aides who quit are close to texas governor rick perry, who of late is soundingt exploring a white house run. let's talk this over with veteran republican strategist and long-time gingrich aide rich gale zen here tonight as is our chief republican analyst goria borger. and the national political analyst of the "new york times," rich zeleni. rich, first since you know newt so well. he says he's going to fight on. he tells us he'll be at our debate monday night. everybody left. >> well, you can sort of glide down to a close. i mean, somebody's got to do things like order a car and driver. there's a lot that goes into this. this is a speech to the republican jewish coalition that's been on the schedule for a while. happens to be in los angeles. >> does he last? >> i think it's over. at some point he's just going to say this -- clearly there's no -- he said on his facebook page he's going to restart the campaign in los angeles on sunday. but that will be the third restart. and if they've had trouble raising money already then i don't know anybody who said you know, i

the second component consists about laws and those who are wanted barberries criminal cases who were found in the state's institutions as our enemy and our targets because they propose an obstacle to their interests and they are caught by the state institutions. for those, the golden opportunity should be taken in order to ensure they remain free in their liberty activities. it is only natural we seek to enforce the law upon all. it does not mean they should not look for solutions to the social aspect in order appeal to the people from taking the wrong path and encourage them to be citizens and integrate them in society. you may be asking how many outlaws are there. it is a surprising number. the number at the beginning of this crisis was more than 54,000 people. imagine this number of wanted people for criminal cases, the sentencing of which remains between a few months and execution who have escaped justice. 24,000 of those are three years and above. a few days ago, the number dropped to less than 63,000 because some of them turn themselves in to authorities. thus, the number, 64,0
