and is that america wields great clouds behind the scenes but it's difficult in that we actually have this end at the u.n., we pay more than any other country does and the air base and everything else so we can pull the strings when we need to and make concessions when we don't. actually america does not wield great clouds behind the scenes, that went down on time ago with the g7 teeseven, outvoted and if you want a moment that sums that kept it was a december budget vote in 2007 number on another record-breaking expansion of the u.n. buy any old budget, every budget they had for years has been a record-breaking expansion. usually these are passed by consensus, animal farm, but on that occasion john bolton recently had been through the u.n. and has some folks to place in the u.s. call for a vote. some countries abstained, but the final vote on this record-breaking expansion of the budget was 141 -- one. anyone care to guess which country was the one? [laughter] of course, the united states. but washington was addition the process and we got to read and sign onto this thing. finally, there really is an important been further problem with funneling foreign po

america, nile ferguson writes in "the financial times." writing in "the financial times" this morning. sacramento, california, bill, you are on the air. caller: i must be one of their heads, i am statistician and have studied the situation with the federal debt. if you have internal rate of return and only 60% and only 100% in the public's hands -- it depends on what part of the public. if you could take the independent people who are business people, who are managing to walking in with where the conglomerates are, with energy, transit, and housing, you are going to be turning out small was beautiful and you have eco cities. you could take internal rate of return with a large investors are and put it with internal rate of return to the management of the people who are small managing the financial once distant -- institutions managing the project -- you have a situation where you are on top of, providing for health for seniors and their housing, developers for those living independently and under managed care. i'm doing five pages of notes a day off of c-span and the local sacrament of channels on the way the administration here is run

america the fun-loving side of what they call, what they call the guido culture. some americans are not happy. one of them is joseph. he wants this share of the air. megyn: even though my last name is kelly, i am 25% italian. i don't have a problem with this. what do they do that is so awful? >> the nature of the show has struck a chord with the number of italian americans around the country. the stereotypes, the other thing that we are concerned about as a community, too, is a responsibility in programming and this idea of reality shows and where they are going, whether it was the balloon boy incident or breaching security at the white house or now even this show with young people behaving in a way that really we do not think represents the broader spectrum of italian-americans, or for that matter young people throughout the united states. megyn: but, you know, what moron does not know that? who out there is taking a look at snooky and thinking, that is the italians. you have to watch out for them. >> it goes a little deeper than that. we have raised a lot of money and spent a lot of money on mentoring and education and scholarship. i would say t

bound for america on christmas day there was no permanent boss at the t.s.a., the agency responsible for the safety of our airports. this agency was created after 9/11 specifically to keep airtravel safe. when he tried to blow up that plane, the top positions of both intelligence agencies within the state department and the department of homeland security were empty. why? because republican senators refuse to let this body hold a vote on these highly capable people the president has asked to serve in these roles. we all know republicans have dedicated themselves to grinding government to a halt. they do so openly and proudly and boast about their aversion to compromise. that's why they have time and time again exploited the rules of the senate and abused this body's procedural traditions. it's why they've wasted countless hours and shattered remarkable records for stubbornness. it's why when we've faced questions on national security we've answered with politics. republicans have repeatedly asked fearful families to put keynes on -- put concerns on hold while they score political points by plague partisan games. mr. president, this is not a game. an embarrassingly high numb

america could be next. he quoted from the article. this is how empires decline. it begins with a debt explosion. ends with reduction in the resources available to the army, the navy, the airorce. the united states doesn't come up with soon with a credible plan to restore and ballance, the danger is real that debt crisis could lead to weakening of american power. senator gregg in his floor speech described in stark terms, he said, we are on an intolerable path, a path of unsustainability, a path that leads us down the road with a lower standard of living than what we received from our parents. similar remarks, underscoring the crisis we face, the "new york times" reports about this same issue and cites historical precedent. "the times" reported that the united states could suffer the same disease it that has afflicted japan. the country's influence around the world erodes. . charles krauthammer also described the deline. he said, for america today, decline is not a condition, decline is a choice. to get -- america is in the position of deciding whether to advocate or retain its dominance, decline or continued ascend ancy is in our hands. -- ascendancy is in our hands. last

air. and founded or expanded the american and public park system on a very large scale. which i think is due to a great extent to his leadership and example what he did win u.s. president america has these magnificent public parks and so much of the american and wilderness is in the public domain and can be visited and enjoyed by all american citizens and indeed from the foreigners to come to america. those of the reasons why i like theodore roosevelt. but perhaps, one also committed to add a final reason, it is that he got such joy and pleasure out of life. an example to all of us. but i may say that he did not always approve of my other great to favorite to winston churchill. he said they have a lot did come in and you would have thought because he was somewhat senior but he met him when churchill came to america and he said that winston churchill has no manners broke he does not stand up when a lady enters the room. he was a bit critical part bride daresay churchill was critical of him as well as. >> host: thank you for halt -- holding tennessee your of that era. >> caller: mr. johnson, i read history of the american people a few years ago and as i recall you were someone c

america. my friends, we have to advance the knowledge of wind storage technology. some of you know in texas we lead the country in the promotion of wind energy. it's not hot airind power. more wind power than states combined. but god had a sense of humor. he put the sweet spot for texas wind way out in west texas and he put the demand load where the population center is in dallas/fort worth. he just wanted to make sure we could figure out how to get the west texas wind over to dfw. just like in texas what we'll have to do all across the country is built transportation lines. i'm giving you a riddle i will let the wind blow in the early morning and evening but not when you're at work and school. he said, i'm going to have the wind blow stronger in september, october and november rather than june, july and august. [laughter] >> but there are technologies that we need to unleash that believe that they're that close to building the energy storage capacity so that we could generate the wind when it's blowing but save it until we need it. my friends, the core of how we're going to turn the light on so your youngsters can study and we can do our work around the hous
