when lyndon johnson wants to launch the war on poverty. johnson and all the people that voted for him and voted for franklin roosevelt to the 59% of almost 60% that voted for lyndon johnson in 1964 they say yes government is the solution to our problems and that is where we will look. that attitude changed. it is changing during the 1970s, it was decisively reversed when ronald reagan was elected president in 1980 and so in fact in his first inaugural address, ronald reagan famously said the government is not the solution, government is the problem, and i would argue that this is the attitude that has predominated the american political conversation ever since. it's not that there haven't been any programs between 1980 and now if you but if you compare the number created in the 1930s and 1980 when the new federal programs came off and then they can easily do what has been accomplished on that round since 1980 they can sell them and become hard with the fate faith of obamacare which is hanging in the balance being a good example of this. if

lyndon johnson signed the higher education act into law with the goal of making college more affordable and more assessable for students. forward. sixty years ago pres. lyndon johnson signed the higher education act into law with the goal of making college more affordable and more assessable for students. what reforms and innovations are needed? here's a brief overview of the event which features two keynote speakers. first secretary of education ted mitchell will take the stage followed by lamar alexander. to close up the program our staff correspondent will moderate our expert panel discussion. just a reminder you can use twitter and facebook during our program. please welcome to the stage u.s. president undersecretary ted mitchell. >> good morning everyone. it looks like we've got quite a good group. thanks to the national journal the gates foundation for inviting me to be a part of this. the next american series is important because we need more than ever strategic thinking and action as we attack the unprecedented challenges and opportunities presented by this legislation. we are r

so then god knows what lyndon they had training camps and tuesday and never discussed by religion and. to the catenate with the infidel. who is jewish. so it is better to be jewish day and the atheist? >> but they have training camps and one of them said they never message you but then this was all a 1996 or 1997 and with the anti-defamation league. he said britain but i think he meant me as well with what islamic terrorism actually means. and then four years later all those people were convicted with acts of terrorism.

the taking over of power by lyndon johnson. i wasn't quite sure which way to go until i had a discussion with a young man who works in our firm who knew absolutely nothing about the assassination. if you remember a gentleman came up after the lincoln talk and asked if i could recommend one book. if i were to recommend one book on the political aspects i would recommend the path to power. roberts book is excellent. there are so many good books on what happened has a result of lyndon johnson taking over as president. if i were to recommend one book on the assassination itself is reclaiming history, the assassination of john f. kennedy. this book is mammoth. it is so good that it doesn't make sense for anybody else -- that said it hasn't stopped people. unless something new comes out unless somebody has a deathbed statement or new testimony there is no need for new books. i would recommend it. certainly have looked at a lot of different books in preparing tonight's talk. if this were a paper instead of a talk you would see a lot.

he called one morning about 8:00 and my secretary lyndon johnson as we had a wine called the potus line. it just rang. it didn't ring internet lay. they rang until someone answered it. and you could never pick it up fast enough. it always made you feel -- she answered the phone and he said where is he? he's in the bathroom mr. president. isn't there a photo there? she said no. he said put a phone in there. so i came out and she said the president wants a phone in the bathroom. i said forget about it. the next morning for my same time i am in the same place disable call. and he shouts at peggy. as i told you to put a phone in there. and she said yes, mr. president. by the time i got out of the bathroom there were two army signal guys in my office on the phone was installed. that was when they wanted you all the time. in second life, he thought things, always a way to do something when we needed some help. none of my kids -- i was in sibley hospital in virginia and washington. my son joe had swallowed a bottle of aspirin. the president called i just ran. i did leave a phone number. he fin

he called one morning at 8:00 and my secretary -- a call from lyndon john son those days we had a line called the potus line. just rang. it rang until it was answered. and you could never pick it up fast enough. he always made you feel like she answered the phone and he said, where is he? she said he's in the bathroom, mr. president. he said isn't there a phone in there? and she said, no. he said, put a phone in there. so i came out and peggy said the president wants a phone in the bathroom. i said forget about it. we forgot about it. next morning same time, anytime the same place the same call. some he shouts at peggi, he says i told you to put a phone in there. and he said, yes mr. president yes, mr. president. by the time got out of the bathroom there were two army signal core guys in my office and the phone was installed. that was when he waned you all the time. i just -- and secondly, he saw -- he saw things always the way to too something or we needed a law we need some help. another -- none of my kids -- i was in hospital in virginia, in washington. my son joe swallowed a about

the 2nd story was about lyndon johnson who was a very obsessed with the white house shower, and shower, and that has been reported before. the way the story reveals a new bit of information that i will read that his nickname because of his bright red hair may have found pres. lyndon johnson amusing at first's but was in may completely miserable in the presence eccentric demands. he started and 46 and retired and 79 and passed away in 2007 and his wife wrote down stories and bring how his erratic schedule affected their lives in the life of the $3. they ran a restaurant. they came through. i just thought that was funny. it was pres. johnson wanted something done with his commode. johnson tortured him with his obsession with the water pressure and temperature of the shower. no matter what the staff did the water never came harder hard enough. harder. when the president was in the mood to dole out letter grades'. he started his career off as a high school teacher. he would give people grades until the mother did. and everyone was and everyone was a bit afraid of. johnson shower fixation w

>> yeah. >> yes. >> i believe it was a quote from lyndon johnson and this is particularly -- it had a particular purpose, i think, in -- he said

the second story is about lyndon johnson who was fairly upset that the white house shower. it has been reported before. the way the story reveals a new bit of information that i will read. price arrington got his nickname because a man of bright red hair made of found president lyndon johnson and his enough for his study was made completely miserable by the president eccentric demands. arrington started in 1946 and retired in 1979 passed away in 2007. his wife margaret wrote many other stories. she remembers how his erratic schedule affected their lives and minds of their three daughters. the restaurant in annapolis neck &-ampersand white house: mr. aaron king. i just thought that was so funny. it was president johnson wanted something done with this commode. tortured read with his obsession with the water pressure and temperature. the water never came hard enough or hard enough for johnson. then they would dole out letter grades they got an asset for a time and he started his career off as a high school teacher so he would wander the basement floors of the white house and

lyndon johnson, his naval career encompassed six months on active duty. he spent less than two months in active theater operations. born in 1908, he won elections to the u.s. house of representatives in 1937. in june 1940, he was appointed lieutenant commander in the u.s. naval reserve. immediately after pearl harbor lbj was assigned to the office of the chief of naval operations. with responsibility for investigating roadblocks slowing the production of ships and aircraft of the navy. that led, in may 1942, to an inspection trip to australia and new zealand, during which according to the presidential library website, he took part as an observer in a number of bomber missions. one mission, about which some controversy has arisen, resulted in the award of the silver star, given as a result of his decision to participate as an observer in "a hazardous area bound combat missions over hostile positions in new guinea." in july 1942, president roosevelt, having band federal legislatures from serving in the armed forces, required lbj be removed of active duty. h

lyndon johnson just said no, it is not going to happen. then nixon had such bad memories of the 1960 debates of kennedy that he said no, i am not going to debate. it wasn't really until he got to 1976 after the pardoning governor nixon that ford was trailing in the polls and really had to go forward with the debate. in 1980, the 15% rule which we will talk about in a moment, was placed by the women fleeing voters and most people, again, don't remember but there was an independent third party candidate. his name was john anderson, and he was 16% over the 15% and he was invited by the league. president carter said no, i will not debate if john anderson was at that debate. it was in baltimore and it was just the two candidates and the president did not come. by the time the next scheduled debate was scheduled, anderson had fallen below the 15% criteria standard and therefore, there was only the one debate that year between president carter and governor reagan. host: in cleveland ohio. -- in cleveland, ohio. guest: that is right. i should say

stein, here's what bothers me lyndon johnson said without republicans, there is no passage of the civil rights act, voting rights act. >> right. >> 64-65. future democratic leader in the senate robert byrd filibustered the bill al gore's father wasn't there, bill clinton's mentor j. william fullbright all of these men voted against it. but most people don't know this. >> no. >> how did this become a republican problem. >> exactly. i mean i know the gop is called the stupid party, the idea that republicans can have the confederate flag hung around their neck is ridiculous. it's a democratic flag. the states that seceded during the civil war were all democrat states that's their flag the racist states until the 1960s were racist states. the democratic party was the largest and most powerful institution supporting slavery in the english speaking world. it's the only one that survived into the 21st century. canadiens didn't do it australians didn't do it the democratic party and the states they controlled did it. it's their flag hillary clinton had it on campaign bumper stickers when she ra

but if you look at lyndon baines he was a champion of civil rights.passed a series of bills that maybe would have failed under presidents. but if you look at dr. martin luther king he used the word in affection about andrew young. so the word changes in terms of its meaning with its context, despite the syllables and the consantss and vowels involved. if you use it in conversation, words to words from person to person it takes on a different meaning. this president used it in order to report it as a historical term which i think was wholly appropriate. >> and in some ways the conversation has reflected what has happened in the u.s. it's much easier to focus on the hate speech rather than to find out where the hate is coming from? >> that is exactly right. we are living in a time when we are dealing more often with implicit bias from an officer who sees an african-american suspect who he deems may be more violent than have a criminal past. these things calculate themselves automatically in our minds. so the president was talking about the kinds of syst

she will be the lyndon johnson in this race. >> lyndon johnson was expected to run for re-election. gene mccarthy a wisconsinite did better than expected. >> johnson -- this is my analogy, you know, kennedy wanted to run, lowenstein was recruiting somebody on the board saying you can't run on the board. and lowenstein and kennedy wanted to run. and they didn't because of the political considerations. and then he had to get back in. and everybody accused him of stepping on mccarthy. who wants bernie sanders to get real votes in but he is quite a contrast. he's drawing huge crowds. i'm going to tell you what if this happens, we could get elizabeth warren we could get biden. i would not leave him out of this or even john kerry. if the democratic majority realizes what i think they will in a few months and they realize that she could be taking it down and these things are going to continue on people are going to get in. >> normally the whole party goes down in that event. >> that's right. and there's going to be a voice -- there's concern now, they're all whistling past. i guarantee thr

for her these scandals are what the war in vietnam was to lyndon johnson in '67 when everyone said he can't be challenged. and look what happened. and i think we're looking at the same kind of chaos next year. >> on twitter steve hartman said you can sum up bernie sanders popularity with one word academia. >> i disagree. he's authentic. he speaks to the democratic left which is the predominant force in the party for redistribution of wealth and power. our audience may have a problem with that. i'm a centrist. the democratic primary electorate is to the left of her. >> does she know she's a centrist now -- >> she's a chameleon. she will go wherever she has to go. look at the last two years. democrat party occupies wall street elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. the tea party is the passion. >> i want to talk about trust. we saw last week washington street journal poll with trust issues for hillary clinton. we saw many of them. i said "the washington post"/abc news cnn polling. >> it's overwhelming. that trust factor is getting into as i said couple of weeks ago, slipping into beginnin

you can use kirkwood highway at limb stone to get around it or lyndon hill road. elsewhere in delaware, christian getting reports of a pothole in the road at 95 at one of the interchangeses watch out we have potholes we're steering around even now in june. >> new videos on "action news," showing the two guys police are searching for they are caught on camera robbing a metro pcs store and setting it on fire on detroit's east side. you can see one of the bandits hang from the ceiling and drops down and after a quick look around climbs back through are a hole in the roof. a second later this thief stuffs the bag with cell phone both douse the store with das gasoline and set it ablaze. >> a teenage boy has been accused of a robbery mastermind. the robbery was caught on the family's security system. the 17-year-old helped three male gang members plan the break-in. terrified family members hid in different rooms while the knife wielding teens ransacked the home. >>> now from the latest from the strange case of rachael dozelle. we will not be hearing from her today. she

>> when lyndon johnson is pushing through the great society, he's riding the wave of the civil rightsmericans who are not at all happy about this. >> johnson is a man whom i've known for a long time and i like him personally, but i've watched him change from a conservative democrat to an extreme liberal democrat. >> too often, the '60s is simply seen from a liberal perspective, but the conservative movement had its fans. >> i told my wife, i said honey, what do you think about my running for the presidency? >> i would not say he was politically ambitious. what made my father run started several years before that. it really started with my father's book, "the conscience of a conservative" in 1960, which became kind of the bible of the conservative movement. >> goldwater brought together a kind of muscular americanism, anti-communism, and this growing political opposition to the expansion of the federal government. >> at the time, the republican party was dominated by the eastern liberal establishment. >> conservatives saw the more moderate, liberal part of the republican party as not b

host: there are quite a number of photographs in your office of the area's presidents from lyndon johnson to barack obama. tell us about richard nixon. what do you remember about him? senator alexander: i remember how private, focused intelligent he was. i had just by stroke of providence, i was the aide to bryce harlow, who was his first appointee. so i literally sat in the west wing in the office of the vice president. i absorbed this, all t wisdom from mr.h harlow. i was around president nixon a lot. and i saw mr. harlow. what i remember about them is how far reaching he was at i have on my wall some notes he used in the congressional leadership meeting that he would have on tuesdays. where he described the environmental movement, which was developing in the united states in 1970 or 1971. and president next and was trying to explain the republican senators in congress --president nixon was trying to explain that it was coming. that is when earth day was created. that is when the clean air and clean water acts were passed unanimously. president nixon was far ahead of this time in unders

lyndon johnson had signed both the civil rights bill and the voting rights bill.: but in neighborhoods in the bay area, problems of unemployment poverty, and police harassment were as entrenched as ever. two bay area men, huey newton and bobby seale, enrolled at merritt college in oakland, came up with a ten point plan as a solution. the black panther party was born. bettina: most of the program was about feeding the community, providing mobile clinics for healthcare, clothing for people, freedom schools, breakfast for children. peter: harry edwards was teaching sociology at san jose state when he decided to get involved with the panthers. harry: the core of their revolutionary ideology was that the black community and the black people in that community have a right not just to exist and to survive, but to develop and to prosper as a community. peter: their efforts in the community were subverted by their use of radical theatre. harry: the said we have a right to guns under california state constitution and the second amendment of the united states constitution. s

and her friend and mentor, president lyndon johnson.nd in particular, she was a staunch advocate for the voting rights act, which had helped make it possible for her to be elected. in 1975, in the face of fierce opposition, barbara jordan led the fight to extend the special protection of the voting rights act to many more americans including hispanic americans native americans, and asian americans as well. [applause] and like every woman who has run for national office in this country in the last four decades, i stand here on the shoulders of barbara jordan and so does our entire country. [applause] and boy, do we miss her. we miss her courage, we also miss her humor. she was funny. i remember talking to her and ann richards one time and between the two of them, forget trying to get a word in at all. and they were telling me about how they loved to go to the university of texas women's basketball games. and barbara would be there, by that time, in her wheelchair on the sidelines, ann would be holding court right next to her and barbara

[ applause ] [ applause ] and like every woman who has run for national office in this country in the last four decades, i stand here on the shoulders of barbara jordan and so does our entire country.

book his domestic record is probably as good as any president except maybe franklin roosevelt and lyndon johnson. he passed the civil rights act in 1991. he passed the americans with disabilities act. that was all done in one term. george bush was always reluctant to brag. he let everybody else take credit. he never worked hard to get some for himself. it was about time i fulfilled my job and got him credit. >> isn't that why you did it? >> that's exactly why i did it. >> in foreign policy he seemed very able to get coalitions more so than many other presidents. >> best example i can give you, coming to walker's point the second or third month we were in office. ronald reagan had a tough time the last two years. he came when he got off the helicopter dressed to the nines. he came with a look in his eye that portrayed a very difficult weekend up there. by the time he left he and george bush had a working relationship that was as much a key to anything else as creating changes that took place in europe. >> you bought the criticism there has been a vacuum in parts of the world that the u.s.

we are 50 years since lyndon johnson traveled to his own elmo martyr in texas to sign the higher education act. he was planning to sign the bill outside but he had swept as a janitor as a student and when he said we will leave here this morning i want you i want you to go back and save your children in your chair grandchildren and those who come after you and tell them we made a promise to them that we have open the road and pulled the gates down and the way is open. we expect them to travel it. how do you think if we are assessing 50 years later that the fundamental goal that the president laid out for us how would he grate us on achieving that? >> i think he would rate us at a b+. we have opened the gates far more broadly for college goers. one can look at that in terms of the number of african-americans or the number of latinos. they just released results in the last month that show that hispanic 12th graders are now more likely for the first time more likely to attend time, more likely to attend college than their anglo peers. i think all of that is very good news. students face learni

it certainly was a turning point for lyndon johnson.on did not, contrary to what a lot of historians have written, johnson did not see that documentary were walter made the statement. but his press secretary did. and he came in the next morning and briefed johnson on what walker had said. johnson said, if i have what -- lost walter cronkite, i've lost the american people. he had a complete change of mind. he was being pressed for more troops, he decided, he finally concluded it was not going to work. i talked to george christian about it. i knew him well and when i wrote a book, i interviewed him for it. he said it had a tremendous impact on johnson. margaret: and that was 1968. bob: yes. and the military claimed they had one. margaret: you are being photographed at the moment. [laughter] bob: is that right? [laughter] it was such a surprise to the american people that all of a sudden, they were everywhere. they climbed the wall of the american embassy there. it really did take them by surprise. peter: there was a famous quote from colo

lyndon johnson signed the higher education act into law with the goal of making college more affordable and more assessable for students. what reforms and innovations are needed? here's a brief overview of the event which features two keynote speakers. first secretary of education ted mitchell will take the stage followed by lamar alexander. to close up the program our staff correspondent will moderate our expert panel discussion. just a reminder you can use twitter and facebook during our program. please welcome to the stage u.s. president undersecretary ted mitchell. >> good morning everyone. it looks like we've got quite a good group. thanks to the national journal the gates foundation for inviting me to be a part of this. the next american series is important because we need more than ever strategic thinking and action as we attack the unprecedented challenges and opportunities presented by this legislation. we are redefining what colleges how much it costs and how much it should cost. it's important to take note of what happened in the last century. both laws advance the advanced t

years and he was solicitor general in an unprecedented and on succeeded phenomenon being appointed by lyndon johnson and being kept on for several years under sin. which we will hear about tonight. he was also at the supreme court historical societies first chairman. following his term as solicitor general, he joined jones day in 1974. after i started to work there in 1989, i had the pleasure of working with him on a number of small cases. a little commercial dispute and appeals. that did not affect, i was quite taken with the fact that it did not affect his enthusiasm and ever that he put into these cases. i remember thinking at the time what a remarkable model that he was even late in his life of a lifelong commitment to doing the things that make the law work. when the dean died in 1994 jonathan rose asked the society how the law firm could honor the dean. after lengthy discussions, they decided to award the prize to the author of the best book on constitutional law or supreme court history on a periodic basis. that award has been given five times since then. first to gerald gunther for h

general in an unprecedented and on succeeded -- on succeeded phenomena and of being appointed by lyndon johnson a democrat, and being kept on for several years in the richard nixon administration, which we will hear about tonight. he was also the historical society's first chairman. following his term as closer journal, -- solicitor general the dean -- or just dean as we called him to his face -- joined in 1974. when i joined in 1985, i had the pleasure to work with them on a number of cases. nothing significant. commercial disputes, pro bono criminal appeals. but i was quite taken with the fact that that had no effect on the level of enthusiasm, interests, and just effort into which he put on these cases. i remember thinking at the time what a remarkable model he was even late in his life, to the lifelong commitment of doing the things that make the law work. when the dean died in 1994 jonathan rose asked the society what they could do to benefit the memory of the dean. after a discussion, they voted to award the erwin griswold prize to the author of the best book on constitutional law

we are 50 years since lyndon johnson traveled to his own elmo martyr in texas to sign the higher education act. he was planning to sign the bill outside but he had swept as a janitor as a student and when he said we will leave here this morning i want you i want you to go back and save your children in your chair grandchildren and those who come after you and tell them we made a promise to them that we have open the road and pulled the gates down and the way is open. we expect them to travel it. how do you think if we are assessing 50 years later that the fundamental goal that the president laid out for us how would he grate us on achieving that? >> i think he would rate us at a b+. we have opened the gates far more broadly for college goers. one can look at that in terms of the number of african-americans or the number of latinos. they just released results in the last month that show that hispanic 12th graders are now more likely for the first time more likely to attend time, more likely to attend college than their anglo peers. i think all of that is very good news. students face learni

also very much aware of the degree to which the vietnam war had undermined political support for the lyndon johnson administration. it got so bad that president johnson decided not to run for a second term. in the second half of the 60's, mr. nixon anticipated that he might run for office. he started thinking, how can i prevent my administration from being entrapped in the vietnam quagmire? he made a trip through asia in 1967 and he wrote a really fascinating article in the journal "foreign affairs," that hinted not only at the desire to get out of vietnam -- the title of the article was "asia after vietnam" -- but he hinted that it was important to draw china into the international community so this was very much in his head. he was saying, how do i construct a policy to deal with this situation? the brilliance of what he put together was he could see the tensions between the two communist states. he thought that might be the basis for splitting the alliance. and he was looking for a way to accelerate or gain some leverage on getting out of the vietnam situation. as he prepared to run for

as part of that and really throughout the book you do give credence to a comparison between he and lyndon johnson. do you think that he is potentially in that week? you also compare have to richard nixon. i think that johnson was more the comparison i had for the 1st couple years i was working on the book and next came into my mind during the end. no he has not yet proven himself. in league with lbj. it is really more to_they can in this with which each man worked the legislature. .. does anyone outside of the tight circle. their tendency to be very suspicious of all journalists and to be very things and into the rate of journalists if they write things they don't like and to have a kind of enemies list as nixon did. you can use either one. it was a far more graceful person as we all know the great orator. andrew doesn't have those things. he likes to call himself the operational by. his father could read the fancy philosophers andrew would be there in the trenches. so as far as the knicks in comparison and the weariness of other people in the skepticism. >> i knew him better than andrew

enough about lyndon johnson. following in the footsteps of his predecessors, president obama appeared on his wtf pod cast. that's with two friends. among other things he talked about race relations in america. the president said it is inconvertible that things have gotten better during his lifetime, but he said we are not cured of the long legacy of things like slavery and jim crowe and racism in general. and then he dropped the n-bomb. >> it is not just a matter of it not being polite to say [bleep] in public. that's not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. it is not just a matter of overt discrimination. we have to -- societies don't overnight completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior. >> later on monday the white house press secretary josh ernest was asked if the president regrets using the word and ernest made it clear that he does. >> he does not. >> okay, maybe i heard that wrong. i will go to you first. >> yes. >> because i hold the record for most uses of the n-word in

the charleston county public schools, we had a big controversy going on at the time that president lyndonhnson and others debating the civil rights act of 1964. a lot of those lectorselectric legislators were having trouble trying to pronounce negro. so in my class one day i made a statement trying to teach, and a young lady i will never forget her, bernadette lucas, she now lives high in columbia she cried because i used the "n" word. i was just trying to teach. so i know that that word can be misconstrued. the president was trying to teach, and i think it was used properly but in the sound bite world that we live in if you pick the one sentence out without the full statement, you will come away thinking that it may have been inappropriate. you read the whole statement, it was the appropriate thing to do. >> all right. i think you make a good point, as usual. thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much for having me. >>> we're going to continue to follow the breaks news including the breakses news in new york. there's a confirmed clue for the manhunt for two escaped murder murderers.

remember what lyndon johnson said about losing the south for generations? flag coming back in opposition to the effort to make people equal across racial lines and so it's particularly significant it's finally going to go away. >> you know, our culture i would say is more of a leader. if you watch prime time television, it's very progay rights. it's very unquestioning of the fact that that should be the way it is and yet, if you want to have another breach of history, the 1930s, all those movies we watched celebrated the south. the south were the good guys. they were the noble cause. they were the brits and the north, the right side, the battle of the republican, fighting at the risk and loss of the lives going down in the south to end slavery were considered inner lopers. i don't think the culture is leading us in the right direction but lately, it has answered -- >> i agree with you and i agree with barney frank, the people have changed. the culture has changed. president obama rather than, this may be another example of his leading from behind where he s

they were sponsored by the network, but there was no way very goldwater would be getting up with lyndon johnson. then it makes him in the next two campaigns, he took such bad memories of the 1960 debates of kennedy that he said no, i am not going to debate. it wasn't really until he got to 1976 after the pardoning governor nixon that ford was trailing in the polls emily had to go forward with the debate. in 1980, the 50% rule which we will talk about in more detail in a moment was placed by the women fleeing voters and most people, again, don't remember but there was an independent third party candidate name john anderson, and he was at 60% over the 50% limit. -- 16% over the 15% and he was invited by the league. president carter said no, i will not debate if john anderson was at that debate. it was in baltimore and it was just the two candidates and the president did not come. by the time the next scheduled debate was scheduled, anderson had fallen below the 15% criteria standard and therefore, there was only the one debate that year between president carter and governor reagan. host:
