that would use wiretapping and surreptitious entry to acquire information about the president's adversaries. the exhibit is very clear about what we know and what we don't know. in fact, there is a whole panel here that lays out based on the trial testimony, on the tapes, on the documents that the watergate special prosecution force and house judiciary committee looked at and whe looked at and materials we had in our collection that we were able to release in the last few years, best evidence on what various members of the white house staff and the president knew and did not know about the illegal intelligence operation. again if you would prefer to acquire information through audio-visual means, you have a nice screen you touch here. and you can liston the president himself who was interviewed after he left office. he talks about dirty tricks. >> this sort of things happens in campaigns. i don't particularly like it. i don't particularly like it when it happens for me and that to be interjected in what should be particularly a high level presidential campaign, but it's going to happen beca

so you have efficient districts for your friends and inefficient districts for your adversaries. right? that's typically the way a partisan gerrymanderer works. if you go in that direction, of course, there are rinksks. right? a small shift in voter preferences, which is what happened in pennsylvania, your party can lose a whole a good number of seats. a bipartisan gerrymanderer is typically done where you make seats that are safe for both parties. so the republican get safe seats. the democrats get safe seats. if the state is half democrat, half republican, half the seats will be heavily democrat. half the seats will be heavily republican. often that also involves the strategic placement of incumbents. you make sure incumbents are protected. and an incumbent protected gerrymanderer is not exactly the same thing as a bipartisan gerrymander. sometimes incumbents don't want to be in the safest districts possible from their party's standpoint but they want to be in the most familiar. ones that elected them before and ones that will continue didn't elect them in the future. okay? now

. >> no, i'll tell you i believe in the adversarial system. no, no. i do. all right? i believe that one attorney represents one side, the other attorney represents the other side, and then a neutral fact finder makes the facts. you've concluded certain things -- and you have more facts than i do because you were an investigator. there were some other facts out there that were not presented at trial, whether they could have been hearsay or just tactical, all right, decision not to present it. our defense for him was, and he was convicted, all right? i was part of the team that has the conviction reversed. those of us who represent him and other criminal defendants who have tend not to apologize that the trial was not fair, all right. that was it. if the court decided that severance was required and the unanimous decision, that's by definition in my mind not a fair trial. and then the decision was made not to retry him. and that was more a political decision, i would suggest, not to retry him. >> are you guys suggesting that you can be the advisor for a criminal conspir

when i go up against someone in an interview, i play the adversary.is, i am your adversary and also very proud of any veteran's service, including my colleague standing just to the left of my camera. and i don't think it's for any of us to say why or why not they speak of their service. >> ashleigh, have you heard any veteran call themselves a hero? >> we're beyond that. and tammy duckworth did not call herself a hero. >> you can't answer that. >> speaking about your service does not suggest you are calling yourself a hero. >> i called her a hero. >> it's something someone should be able to speak of. and i wish more vietnam veterans felt like they could get out on a campaign trail and speak about their service, but they didn't feel like they could, because they didn't get the reaction they should have when they came home, and that's a change. so i don't think you should be suggesting that tammy should be quiet. >> no, no. ashleigh, i called her a hero. let me ask you one more question -- >> but don't disdain her campaign -- >> should she get elected b

he wants to treat america's friends like friends and adversaries like adversaries. think this goes beyond jewish americans. i think that support for israel is broad and deep across the american population. not just evangelical christians, but across the board. i think that's one reason why it's important for governor romney to be there, to show he's listening to everybody. he will meet with the palestinian leadership as well, to try and understand the circumstances israel faces and that the united states is going to do a better job of addressing than we have in the obama administration. >> greta: is it right now -- because of what is going on in syria and because iran gets its weapons to hezbollah through the transit point of syria and they are up to their eyeballs with syria? is the area more of a powder keg than, let's say, a year ago? >> absolutely. a year ago, iran was a year further away from nuclear weapons capability. and obviously, the situation in syria had not deteriorated to the point that it is now. this question of gas masks and concern in israel for sy

our adversaries like iran are weak and isolated. china is growing strong, but it has not used its power to contest america in major national security terms. the one enemy americans recognize and worry about remains al qaeda andaffiliated islamic terror groups and obama has been relentless in attacking them. now mitt romney is a smart man who has had considerable professional success in his life. but even republicans, insiders have admitted to me that he has been strangely amateurish on foreign policy. his campaign, they note, is not staffed by the obvious republican foreign policy heavyweights. people like robert zoellick, paul wolfowitz, richard haas, steven hadley. as a result he has bluster good russia being our greatest geopolitical adversary. actually it's a second-rate power. he seems willing to start a trade war with china. he's vague yetty abo y aboubell syria and iran. he's gone back and forth on withdrawal from afghanistan. romney faces a tough problem. president obama is the first democrat in nearly 50 years to enter an e

our first meeting was very adversarial. i was trying to point out the code issues with the fire department. i was dismissed as not understanding the building and fire code. subsequently, i was able to ask the planning department to ask the fire department. some of the changes were not compromises. there were requirements by the fire department. the setback of the deck was a fire code requirement. the firewall on the property requirement was a fire department requirement. moving it back from the fire escape at the back was a fire department requirement. the lot of these changes were requirements of the fire department. we started having these discussions, and the planning department came back and said this is the rear yard. they would not work with reasonable restrictions, and everything fell apart. commissioner moore: as far as exiting from the fire escape, originally, the fire code was set up that you exit in a straight line, even if it is a diagonal line. you move toward the front of the building to come to the street and

maximize each other's capabilities to support one another and projecting power into areas where adversaries want to limit that access or foreclose our opportunities to maneuver within the theater. >> one thing which seems a little bit discordant, the united states air force has long been both the pioneer and advocate of stealth and the value of stealth in order to be able to operate in any antiaccess situation. it's used that to great effect in almost every conflict we've had in the past 20 years, but the chief of naval operations recently wrote an article that appeared to question the value of stealth which some people thought was even more interesting for a submariner to be making that kind of a case. basically he questioned the viability of future technologies. how important is stealth and do you agree that advances in computing power helps defend or defeat our stealth advantage and we should be investing more in sort of standoff weapons. >> you have three questions there. first of all if he were sitting here, he would tell you what his point was, is that there is a place for stealth. he

are failing our individuals with disabilities and our small businesses by putting them in this adversarial relationship to ultimately achieve compliance. and so it is incumbent upon us to look at areas where we need to do improvements for ourselves and when i say we, that is the greater weight of the government, local, state, and federal. what we have seen since our office and supervisor david chiu had mentioned, his time on the small business commission, businesses that have opened -- recently opened, a high percentage of restaurants are minority-owned. businesses are sued by the san plaintiff and planned as often returned to the same area and recirculate. the average settlement is around $20,000. we have seen that and since 2002, i'm a proximate -- i am in approximating we have 400 businesses that have been sued. going back to last a valid point on the previous white, the lawsuits are averaging $20,000, that has been $8 million that has been played. and this is to the plaintive and a lawyer. i do want to say that our office and we did go through the federal courses and trackpad the lawsu

there is time to talk to your adversaries as well as your allies. it is time to put pressure on in a concerted way so that america doesn't go alone but america leads. and certainly ronald reagan did that, and he would do it again if he was confronted with another situation like that god-awful wall. >> thank you very much for your questions. and, ken, i want to thank you very much for sharing this historic occasion with us and the great light you shed on the history of that moment. and certainly president reagan's words, tear down this wall, were inspirational and had great impact. and i think the end of the speech also proved prophetic. the wall did fall. the wall did not withstand faith. the wall did not withstand truth. and the wall did not withstand freedom. and we're so grateful that you would take the time to be with us here at the newseum sponsored by the freedom forum. these are values we all hold dear, and you played a pivotal role in world history. we're grateful for your public service and for your time today. >> thank you. >> thank you. >
