from her vacation retreat, merkel issued a joint statement for french president francois hollande. both pledged to do everything in their power to stop the 17- nation eurozone from breaking up, but it remains unclear what their intentions are. there is growing speculation the european central bank could begin buying up the bonds of highly indebted eu economies. the french prime minister supports such a move. >> i am sure that would help calm the markets and lead to lower interest rates for spain and italy. >> but german lawmakers are not thrilled about that kind of rescue initiative. merkel's conservatives and the opposition fear the consequences. >> we stress the importance of the ecb not buying up other nations' debts on a large scale. we have no control over the ecb. it acts independently. i say it is unaccountable, and they have no requirements for the individual countries. >> the ecb board meets next thursday, and it is hoped the poutcome will bring more clarity to the overall effort to rescue the euro. >> let's check out what the markets were thinking this friday. the dax the

he had not the same feelings about francois mitterand of france. [ laughter ] he had a strong relationship and friendship with mikhail gorbachev. one of the other famous lines of reagan was the russian proverb that he used all the time -- trust but verify. and that's what symbolized his relationship with gorbachev. we used to kid inside the white house that president reagan, god help us, trusted everybody, and nancy reagan and i were the verifiers. [ laughter ] he had an awful lot of faith in his vice president, in george herbert walker bush. he thought he was the right person to carry on his presidency, into george herbert walker bush's presidency. he knew that the relationship with the then soviet union would be solid. that's why we brought george herbert walker bush with us. there is a great photo i'm sure you have in your archives. it's the only time i was ever allowed to play advance man in the white house. when we went to governor's island in new york harbor, since i came from new york city, from brooklyn, new york, the backdrop of governor's island is the statue of liberty. what sym

francois hollande wants to change that austerity regime, but will he be able to?end of the day european countries, as anne apple baum says, they need to get the fiscal house in order. it's tough to say we don't care about that, we're going to spend our way out of this problem. >> well, i would say something as provocative as kishore. i think it would be premature to bury europe right now. i think a lot of big investors are edging their bets between emerging countries and the west. they are in a way saying the virus is in europe, but the antibodies are probably stronger in the western world than they are in the emerging countries. so just wait. europe and the west may be slowly starting to do that, especially if they don't -- are falling under the guillotine in the next coming week or coming month. >> kishore mahbubani, when you look at this issue, and i'm going broaden it to the united states, do you think, you know, this is july 4th weekend. do you think that the rest of the world looks at the obama administration as having restored some of the credibility of the

he's going to talk to francois hollande tomorrow. we have the ecb meeting on thursday.inister of spain, as that ecb meeting finishes on thursday. will they come forward and jointly ask for assistance from the esfs, the esm, the safety net, to directly buy their bonds in addition to the ecb? so let's get to the graphic they put on your screen. that is very important. it's the combination of the direct purchasing, according to deutsche bank, by the safety net at the primary level and the ecb buying at the secondary level, a powerful combination, if you can get the two. because it lessons concern. could reduce the german angst and it also helps if they can get some movement on greece just having some of that debt forgiven at the ecb. i hope i explained that very well. kind of threw me with the early graphic. there are some cynics around what is happening going into this very important week. actually potentially it will have absolutely no difference further he down the line. that's the assessment that comes through from jpmorgan overnight. other people are saying look, if w

that's what happened in france held by francois elan.t to increase taxes on the rich and large corporations. in the u.s. total taxes as a percentage of gdp are the lowest in 50 years and the top marginal rate is the lowest in nearly 20 years. after world war ii corporate revenue taxes represented 40% of total revenue. today they are less than 8%. we know, in other words, no matter what his unhinged critics say, barack obama is no socialist. >>> speaking of france, readers of the national review now know something that just isn't true. readers of the magazine blogged that they encountered a post from andrew mccarthy that read, final jeopardy, category is obama. the answer is fund-raising in paris. the question, how will obama be spending american independence day this week? turns out the mainstream media managed the locate the president in washington, d.c. located at 1600 pennsylvania avenue to which he reported photographers to attend a swearing in ceremony for members of the armed forces becoming citizens. the mccarthy leader conceded o
