when i grow another further, i'll be abraham lincoln. thank you for joining us.see you again. >> host: back to 10 things congress doesn't want you to know about how it does business. number four, powerful members of congress in safe noncompetitive seats hold fundraisers outside their districts to increase leverage of our members. number five, congress spends more than 100 billion every year on well over 200 programs that are not authorized by law. number six, congress routinely raise the social security trust fund to cover general revenue shortfalls. >> guest: if you look at the appropriation bills come which have not been on the last two years because of the political dynamic going on and you go when they were put in x amount of money and look at how many programs, it's over $350 billion now. programs that are funded that are not authorized by the congress. which tells you there's an imbalance in congress is heavily appropriate funds for a program we haven't said we should be spending money on any toes see you the power of the appropriations committees in the po

i'm going to show the picture of who killed abraham. that's what hasn't been released. and when he's identified, then he'll be arrested and they'll have to drop my first-degree murder charge. >> i'm not aware of the picture. >> the real picture of the guy that killed abraham, the guy that i left abraham with that night. >> you drew it, right, from -- >> no, this is a real picture. >> how did you get that? you haven't told me that. >> i never told anybody about it because i could die, you know? it wasn't worth dying for, but now it is. >> truth is better than fiction. you can't make up dee dee. i never know what she's going to come up with. >> i'm ready to sell my story now. i don't want to have to wait until trial. if you get my story sold, you tell them, i'll interview with them next week. whenever you sell it, i'm going to interview with them right then. >> she has all sorts of ideas how she's going to make money because she's in lockup so she has plenty of time to sit and think, and she's constantly trying to enlist my aid. >> can you try to call like at least abc an

, abraham lincoln, the credit for having save the union. know, he doesn't acknowledge the saves in the country in 1860, there was not an uprising. the north liberated, freed those slave, and president lincoln led the way. in somewhere surely, there's not to be an impulse to be right with history. >> remember, lou, he's a far left ideology believing america is the root of evil, not just at home, but abroad. it is a very, i think, pathological ideology, and that's where you see the joy with him. previous presidents worked their entire lives to get to the white house. once they got there, they relished the job. they loved the constitution. they loved what america represented. you don't get that sense from this president. lou: we don't get that sense, nor do we see great reference. he spoke to me, judy, as a man who sees himself apart rather than the beneficiary or the heir to the american experience. to american values, and all the sacrifices gone before. i think -- the acknowledgement that 360,000 yiewn your -- union soldiers died to free the

king and abraham lincoln.e'll be using those two bibles when he takes the public oath of office, again, all leading to a remarkable day here on the national mall. overnight, the president attended the first event of his second term, a candlelight reception. >> what we're doing is celebrating each other. and celebrating this incredible nation that we call home. >> reporter: where he addressed the issue everyone in washington has been discussing. >> i love michelle obama. to address the most significant event of this weekend, i love her bangs. >> reporter: hours earlier, at the white house, the second term began, as he took the oath of office, in a private ceremony. the influx of spectators who descended upon washington, to watch obama be sworn in a second time. >> the theme of this year's inauguration, is our people, our future. >> reporter: while the president plans to look to the future, he'll also pay tribute to the past. he'll be sworn in on two bibles. one used by abraham lincoln. and one, fittingly on thi

and his name is abraham if you could please join us here on stage. (applause). . for those of you who are very strong supporters of the arab culture and community center you know abraham's work very well you joined in 2,003 as the america cultural and community center youth program coordinate 98or for over a decade he has provided services to the arab couldn't health and education and immigration his days start in the early mornings, commuting between court appointments homes of low increase and disabled clints, hospitals and schools and his work leads into the late evenings he can be found in the late trip ac's where he tutors nearly 50 america youth to help them understand the important of education their futures in the world and academic excellence his mint doesn't stop at mentoring he helps many student pursue scholarships to per view their dreams for higher education he understand the value and importance of community service and empowering our people to be strong and proud and conscious and capable members of the community who never forgot their heritage. so

only abraham lincoln would do this. lincoln asked steve for a letter of introduction with a professional woman, and i don't me agriculture. it was an occupation that predated agriculture. what we have pieced together is lincoln visited the prostitute and he had maybe three dollars with him, which was a lot of money. not eliot spitzer money, but a pretty fair amount of money. and the prostitute apparently charges lincoln five bucks. which was an enormous amount of money. so lincoln says to her, ma'am, i have to tell you, -- honest abe. he says i cap afford it. eye only have the. she knows speed to it's a possible he could pay her when he gets the money. he doesn't have the movement we know that either, a., because lincoln got embarrassed or, b., his honor got the best of him, but once she said to lincoln you can pay me later or maybe this one is on the house, lynn ran -- lincoln ran out the door. so it was not a happy ending, it was a good ending. so what i thought i'd do for the main body of my remarks today is tell you

abraham lincoln.nd it's only harden who gets in the u.s.-mexico war that some people have argued makes lincoln's path forward and is wrote to the presidency possible because he is really under the shadow of john hardin before that happen. hardens them is fascinating and they are deeply, deeply affected by the u.s.-mexico war. let me tell you about the war, i'm assuming like most people you probably don't know a whole lot about it. the north american invasion as it's known in mexico begin with president james k. polk sent troops into disputed area between the rio grande rivers, with the intention of starting a war. poker wanted war. he was set on declaring war if the mexican army didn't want a debate. the day he found out that mexicans had crossed the rio grande and killed 14 soldiers in the disputed area, polk went to the cabinet and he said, you know, i think we should declare war against mexico. and his cabinet said, well, we really can't declare war because the mexicans haven't done anything. we se

i know that he draws inspiration from abraham lincoln.may very well here some references. >> we have been showing the scene outside of the white house. it has become a mecca for tourists to capture the feeling of the weekend. steve is with us from miami. >> good morning. before i start my comment, i would like to say i am a cuban american. i got here in 1960. to us, what i have learned since tothen, white and blacks are the same. putting that aside, terry made a comment about gun-control. the first thing that happened in cuba, russia, a communist country is one thing. take the guns away from the citizens. we do not need that in the united states. i believe we have the second amendment. it goes back for a long time. second, spending. how can we keep spending money when our nation does not have a penny to stand on? my three kids and my grandkids, what are they going to believe in? i have a question for the democratic body. the cubans coming in from cuba right now are not political refugees anymore. right now, i am watching c-span at my moth

abraham lincoln was kind of an historical friend of mine. this guy's no abraham lincoln, nor are the circumstances the same. what do you say? >> you're exactly right. the difference is abraham lincoln had his priorities in order, and one of the real problems with president obama is his priorities seem to be a mess. instead of talking about spending control, we're talking about gun control. instead of talking about solid, long-term economic solutions to help turn around the economy, we're talking about minting a trillion dollar coin. this is a president who seems to be sort of thumbing his nose at what really needs to be done in this next term. i mean, instead he's doing a power grab to secure his legacy. neil: you know, ilya, he's not the first president to try to go beyond an election and take what was a victory if terms of a -- in terms of a striking mandate. fdr did it, richard nixon tried it, george bush in his re-election tried it. are there differences here? anything noteworthy here? i mean, obviously, he's trying to get past a resista

so george washington, abraham lincoln, fdr had a huge crises to face. had a pretty big crisis to face. he did accomplish in health care something since presidents since teddy roosevelt have been trying to accomplish. but i think most importantly, we'll see now the fact that he's got a second term, that's really important to embolden him for what he can accomplish, and more importantly, to show that the country supported kurg a very difficult time his leadership and they wanted him back again. so i think he's got a shot. it depends a lot on what happens in the second term, if he can create -- i wish he would go in the midterms to try to take the house back. i think in some ways that might be the only way to break this dysfunction. but even if he doesn't get the house back, if he's able to somehow build on the electoral majority that he had this time around, ronald reagan last in history because he built an electoral majority that lasted after him. fdr, too. that's the direction, i think, by mobilizing his base that he might be able to go. >> i watched th

so with these behind us let me turn the comparative perspective on abraham lincoln. like seward and chase, lincoln's ambitions are forged early in life even as a child historian douglas wilson has written ki duty with fresh from those around him, he was unusually gifted and had great potential. his ambition led him to memorize the stories he heard listening to his father took to the adults at night and then the next day the tree stump to entertain his juvenile friends. the invention led him to scour the countryside to books to read every spare moment and leave home where he worked as a clerk, postmaster, survey year to keep the body and soul together as he engaged in a systematic self improvement mastering english grammar, newspapers, history, determined to study law on his own. at the same time, politics had a deep hole on him when he ran for the state legislature at this d age of 23 he put out a statement which was a dream he would carry to his day to prove himself worthy to be held in great regard, to win the duration and respect of every man is set to have a pecu

not a chance, according to homeowner abraham scaline from los angeles. >> july 17, 2008, around 11:3012:00, two people broke through my house, took my jewelry, money, safe, my computers, and they walked way from the front door. >> it's broad daylight when the burglars walk past the security signs and enter the home through the back door. the first guy comes in and slowly looks around, checking to see if anyone is home. he realizes he's alone and decides to steal a laptop, then leaves. but that's not the end of it. >> somebody from outside in the street give him a signal on the phone if somebody's coming close to the house. and then he went out again and call another person. >> the second time two men enter and decide to check out the rest of the house. they enter the children's bedrooms, don't see mump there, so they continue their search. >> then they went inside my bedroom, opened the drawers, took whatever they found there, removed all the clothes from the closet. they found one safe. then they pick up the safe, they wrap it with my son blanket, and they walked away from the front

had there not been a mary todd, there would not have been an abraham lincoln. that is simply a fact. she was breathtakingly smart, highly educated, came from a powerful political family in the south and found him as a young lawyer. he was really nothing but a lawyer and she recognized his brilliance and said that's the man i'll marry and he'll be president, and she went about to help him do that. tavis: first of all, before i go any further, the most important question i'll ask, how much fun was it gaining 25 pounds? >> not as much as you think. tavis: just eat whatever you want. >> you know, this is the thing. i was doing it with a purpose because i was beginning to do the research and i was already in this very disciplined place. so like a jerk, i went to a nutritionist and i ate the most repulsive, awful things. i didn't allow myself to eat chocolate cake and french fries and cheeseburgers. no, i had these shakes with stuff called progain that weightlifters -- tavis: come on, sally. you're disappointing me now. >> it was awful. tavis: i'm very disappointed i

king, abraham lincoln, his second inaugural address we saw flashes of that. he was signaling in the address he is planning to be very aggressive and he believes he has a mandate for change. you mentioned gay rights. he is the first to mention the word "gay" in the inaugural address. he did that. he reprised some of the major themes from the campaign. >> we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking too do very well and a growing many barely make it. we believe america's prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. >>reporter: you heard that theme again and again and a lot of the president's campaign addresses throughout the election season. he went on at a time of deficits being front and center to talk about debt and deficits on capitol hill. he was very aggressive defending entitlement such as social security and medicare and medicaid. in this address, the president signals he believes he has a mandate. he will be aggressive about pushing change in the second term. >>shepard: some of the change, can y

even abraham lincoln. what i thought i would do for the main body of my remarks today is tell you just a couple of my favorite stories, not just about mistresses and history, but more importantly about present a character. don't worry, there are some juicy stories involved. one of them involves our 22nd and 24th president, grover cleveland. now, when grover cleveland was a young man, there was a controversy because cleveland father the child out of wedlock. the woman named maria hellbent from pennsylvania, and she might have been a prostitute. at the least, she was very casual about her relationships. now, cleveland was a bachelor. of course emmy's running in the 80's and again in the 1890's to miss a probably a child of wedlock was seen as a bit to do. and it was such a big to do for other reasons. one was that the republican opponents of cleveland that were backing james g. breen, the republican nominee, and a group of very righteous preachers started a campaign that no woman in the country is safe. lock

joshua spieled, a kentucky friend owner who was a friend of abraham lincoln's, put it this way: slave property is unlike any other. it is the only property in the world that has locomotion with a mind to control it. and he went on to say that's why they were so sensitive about any outside interference with it. slave property was valuable, but control over it seemed tenuous. and the masters' fear about that fact left them convinced that their laborers could be kept controlled and work profitably only if they were kept uneducated, uninformed, isolated from dangerous influences, closely watched, intimidated and convinced that or tear status as -- that their status as slaves was permanent and up changeable. unchangeable. to accomplish that, southern communities and state legislatures made it a crime to teach slaves to read, severely limited slaves' movements off their owners' property, created and beefed up slave patrols to enforce those limits. it severely restricted the freedoms of the small community of free blacks who lived in the slave states, and they made it ever more difficult eve

. >>> and president obama will take the oath of office on the same bible that abraham lincoln used. we'll give you a close look at this extraordinary piece of american history. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> let's begin this hour with the breaking news. algeria's official news agency has just announced the end of a rescue operation aimed at freeing hostages, including americans held by islamic militants. u.s. government officials tell cnn that may not necessarily, though, be the case. let's get straight to our pentagon correspondent chris lawrence working this story for us. chris, be what is the very latest that you're hearing? >> wolf, the latest that we're getting from u.s. officials is that some americans may have escaped but some may still be held by those hostage takers and they are still seeing signs perhaps of some intermittent fighting, suggesting that perhaps this isn't over yet. as the hostage situation stretched to a second day, u.s. officials scrambled to find a resolution and determine the state of the americans still in militant hands. >> this in

really is a scholar of abraham lincoln.king about him. one is looking for him to rip off of lincoln's second inaugural tomorrow. >> how will he get through the impasse of washington and the antipathy of the republicans? how can he force through his agenda in a smart way? >> like dr. king he's won a noble peace prize. he's an international figure and the world will be watching tomorrow. he's going to have to do some things quickly. by march you'll have the fiscal debate. i think he's got to push gun control very quickly and then he'll have to deal with an explosive international situation that's going on in north africa, syria, iran. there's not a moment that he can rest. he at least doesn't have to transition to washington, d.c. this has been his home for four years and it will be his home for four more. >> i get the feeling that republicans realize that continuing to be at war with the president isn't in the best for national interest. >> yet to be seen because of the way money has hit politics now. there's a lot of republ

abraham lincoln. abraham lincoln heard clay's speech in lexington because he was visiting the town on his way from springfield to washington, d.c.. he was visiting mary's family in lexington and while he was there, he got to hear henry clay speak. it was a tremendous thing for lincoln. lincoln always idolized clay calling him the ideal politician, and to have the opportunity to actually hear clay speak was a huge thing for him. lincoln, when he was young, carried around a book of clay's speeches and read them to himself. when he was a young man, he was the president of the clay club and asked henry clay to speak in springfield, and he didn't come. this was lincoln's opportunity to meet the politician he respects and admires the most, and he heard clay give a speech against the war: perhaps t nos the surprising when lincoln's in washington, rather than talking about tariffs or economic issues that motivated him as a politician, he decides to support more. lincoln and congress are what are known as thou

road to talk more on the air strikes in syria i'm joined a live out by dr abraham illusion political analyst a professor at the. university in amman jordan now professor why are we getting no official comment from israel. well the main thing right now is to remember that this comes on the heels of systematic targeting of syrian by the syrian free army and the syrian opposition also i'd like to remind you that the syrian opposition has already thought of the radar station on the edges of the golan heights last year so this comes as a continuation of the effort to destroy the syrian army by the opposition and now by the monsters themselves by the israelis so what we are witnessing now is a reflection of the political impasse that the syrian opposition as suffering from being able to achieve anything significant on the ground they have resorted to help from the zionists directly i don't think that the israelis have a policy of making public comments of strikes be it sussan nations or strikes that they launch outside the boundaries of international law officials in the u.s. say the attac

on january 1st, 1863, president abraham lincoln is said to excused himself from the east room where hereeting new year's visitors to the white house. he headed to his office upstairs, now the lincoln bedroom, and signed the emancipation proclamation. presidential his torn doris kearns goodwin. >> that morning, lincoln had shaken thousands of hands. so when he went to sign the emancipation proclamation, his own hand was numb and shaking. he put the pen down. he said, if ever my soul were in an act, it is in this act. but if i sign with a shaking hand, posterity will say he hesitated. so he waited and waited. until he could take up the pen and sign with an unusually bold flourish. >> reporter: while his historic signature on the frail document has faded a bit over time, his bold decree still wields power. though declaring slaves and rebel states free in writing, in reality, the emancipation proclamation did not. but by announcing the admittance of blacks into union forces, dramatized in the movie "glory" -- >> colored soldiers. just think of it. >> reporter: the dynamics of the ongoing a

[laughter] >> that's fantastic. you know, these are all signs of the coming collapse. there's no question about it. the third one is the least defensible, however, there is no immigration crisis that needs this in the form of illegal aliens. this is just pure candor. there is no other reason to do this other than to win votes for the democratic party and it's pretty over the top. neil: sadly enough, i just thought it was upside down. we are giving documents to people that shouldn't have them because they are undocumented. and we have somehow created ways to avoid the debt crisis by not addressing the underlying spending behind this debt crisis. where is this world going? >>
