kentucky also created some self-inflicted wounds, barry. 15 turnovers in that game. >> barry: yeah.shmen in the back court and they at times have difficulty getting off good shots with the turnovers. and their shot selection can be suspect as well. but you see they're trying to get in transition. and just playing a little bit faster than they should. in this situation. on the road. against the solid team. those turnovers really kept south carolina in the ballgame. along with the offensive rebounding that south carolina was able to take advantage of, because downey could get anywhere on the court that he wanted to. broke down that kentucky defense. and the gamecocks were all over the offensive backboards. they got 20 in the game. whenever south carolina needed points or a big play, downey was there to produce for his club. >> whit: they say on tuesday it was a texting game. where you text your friends and say are you watching what this kid is doing at kentucky right now? 30 points in the game for downey. he got anything he wanted in the last five minutes of the game. when he plays a

barry simple answer to a very simple question. do we mean to govern ourselves? i think that is the question we face today. will we governor ourselves or will we be governed by increasingly on limited government that does more and more in our lives that is less and less responsible to our will and is taking us further and further not only into debt but into dependency. i believe we have come to an important decision for our country and that brings me to the book. i wrote this book for two reasons i want to chat about a little bit today. the first reason is that as a historian, and someone who loves to read about history it's very hard not to see, very plainly before us, that this country is absolutely unique. you see, every nation has some claim to its purpose, some unifying quality perhaps an ethnic character of common religion or shared history. but our country is very different. it was founded at a particular time and a particular place by a particular number of individuals on certain truths and untruths grounded in nature and said to be self-evident. those we

they thought the race would be closer than expected, but barry to people --and even -- very few people --even democrats were expecting him to win like this. he could pull off one of the most shocking upsets in recent political history. >> how are the campaign's reacting? >> the democrats are scrambling to sound the alarm, to shake up the democrat out of their complacency, by emphasizing the less favorable elements of his record. running as a republican in this state. democrats are trying to point out why that is. the republicans are enjoying a lot of energy from their supporters, to maximize on that going into election day and not lose that before the voters go to the polls. >> what is the mood among voters? >> very discontent. one of the congressman told mehe he has people angry at the political status quo. if you are angry, then you are probably four scott brown. he is leading among independent voters. his message is less ideological than many. when you have a democratic majority in the state government, and in washington, and you are running as a republican, then that is a pretty ef

. ♪ >> larry: ari fleischer, gary townsend and barry gergan remain. what is your two cents?> i'm going to disagree with kathleen and say, yes, this was a weak election. there was a weak candidate who ran a weak campaign. but scott brown campaigned by saying he wanted to be the vote to kill health care reform in the united states senate. and he won. and that is a big message to this administration that they didn't communicate about their bill well enough. maybe their bill was too large at a time that people don't like big government, and, you know, when trust in government, larry, is at an all-time low in this country, it's hard to tell people to swallow more big government. so they were sending a message and it's also about independent voters. yes, massachusetts is a blue state, but 51% of the voters in massachusetts identify themselves as independents. and the democrats need to learn to talk to independent voters. >> larry: dana bash up there on capitol hill, ari fleischer says health care is dead but what about the reported story that what the high school will do is pass t

general and msnbc athist barry mccaffrey.appy new year to you. >> same to you, chris. >> we haven't had a chance to talk about this. the confirmation by the president what we have been talking about this direct link to al qaeda. what goes through your mind? >> yemen been an unbelievably chaotic, cruel place. 1,500 years ago it was a center of business but it's been on decline since then. it has a bunch of shiite rebels in the north backed by iran, tribal warfare, a weak government and now al qaeda in yemen, which is obviously becoming a sanctuary for attacks against the west. so it's a huge problem. general petraeus just made an announcement in baghdad a couple days ago that there are 70 million in military aid to yemen will double in the coming year. >> what do they have to do with that money? how are they going to attack this? given the two things you mentioned, one is the tremendous domestic instability and on the other hand one many of the analysts say is the most chapter of al qaeda outside of pakistan and afghanistan. >

it was on the new york times best-seller list, thank you barry much. the new york times has refused to review it. but they will still impose paul krugman on us every week. but no dissent is allowed in the new york times. i think we all know about the financial picture the new york times is facing so i think it doesn't want to promote a book that argues against bailouts given what the media is going to be demanding in the near future. let's not talk about that depressing subject. i hope i am not going to depress you today because i will leave you with a suggestion that there is a way out of this. whether they are going to follow what is another question. it is comforting to know that if we wanted to get out of this economic mess we could do it. it can be done. i am not going to talk about some of the things you would likely encounter if you turned on right-wing radio where you hear a lot of denunciations of the community reinvestment act that introduced affirmative action in lending or fannie mae and freddie mac whose irresponsible decisions were a fair

whole debate about what to do about these guantanamo inmates and, you know, i was just talking to barry the general, and he was saying they have got to go to the high-security prison in illinois. that's obviously one part of the equation. the other part of the equation, though, is these new recruits, the growing number of islaming clerics who have gotten a voice over the internet and actually are exchanging e-mails with people like abdulmutallab. how big a threat is that? >> well, that's the big change, i think. heretofo heretofore, when we have been talking about training camps in yemen, we have been talking about training camps that have been mainly focused on training saudis and yemenis. people from the arabian peninsula. people from that region. so the thinking was if they're training saudis and yemenis, they're going to be training attacks in saudi and yemen. it's a problem but not much of the problem for the united states. the idea that the camps now inside yemen are turning into training foreigners, westerner, people who are specifically able to cross international boundaries, ha

first, a quick political note, marion barry is set to announce his retirement after seven terms, according to two sources. the move would make him the 2nd arkansas democrat to announce plans this month to forgo a reelection bid. he would be the 12 house democrats to retire this year. republicans are certain to target his seat. it is being reported elsewhere this morning, and the announcement is expected today. is the federal government doing enough? massachusetts, carol, democratic line. caller: good morning. first of all, i do not like the government's hands being in things. they have enough control over other things. i can only speak for my own community. i live in a very unique community in a very rural area. we had so many new homes built in this community and it is a joke. all of the residents called them a little mansions. you know as well as i do, not everyone can afford that kind of a house. my thought behind this is why can the banks said it out where people could pay a tax on the house, but rented to them and charge a lower rent that would, eventually, buildup to a down payment t

they also barry said that the began sailing south along the west coast of africa and in 1489 made it all the way to the southern tip. that raised hopes that they could sail into the indian ocean and that is why we have the cape of good hope. it all of a sudden seen it might be possible to bypass the middleman to not go overland through hostile territory and establish direct trade relations with the far east. the portuguese reece the cape of good hope in 1490 and not long after that you start to see maps like this one, which is a little hard to see. it is not a very well-preserved copy but this is a very important map to look at. this map at its core is a sort of standard ptolemy vision of the world but it is expanded in the ferraris to include this kind of hypothetical geography based on the travels of marco polo and some others. for the first time in the far east to conceal a depiction of japan which marco polo described in some length. you have got this weird cellport extending potential that is some kind-- sometimes called the dragon's till. the indian ocean is open, coming from t

and marion barry is quoted in an article saying that the president said to one group behind the scenest the difference here and 1980 -- 1994 was that "you have got me the key to the president as to say that and what does that mean? >> i have not talked to the president about that. >> is that a message that the president is broadcasting on the hill that he can somehow mitigate some of those losses? >> i don't think it is newsworthy to think that the president hopes and expects to be an effective campaigner in the midterm elections. >> do you think that the president did not say that? >> i have not talked to him so i do not know the answer to that. >> moving on to a gallup poll that says that the president is the most polarizing -- his approval ratings are the most polarizing of any president in their first year, 88% of democrats approve but 23% of republicans agree. why would you agree -- why he think the president is received so differently? >> i think that we live in a very divided country. he has worked hard to change that. but you cannot change the way that washington works if some

a man named kings' barry smith, who was the chief foreign correspondent of the hearst news service had asked -- send questions to stalin and he chose to answer those five questions. no one, particularly dean acheson was the one who understood but one of stalin's answers meant. that is when he was asked about berlin airlift was still going on. when he was asked about berlin, he did not mention the currency reform, which after all was the stated reason for the blockade. .. is your leader open to solving this problem at this time? and the answer came back two weeks later, yes. it was a tremendous embarrassment to them. they knew they have lost once the loser -- the general winner had defeated the polling in the general winner had defeated hitler and he assumed general hitler -- general winter would defeat the airlift and when he didn't teeny the game was up. >> donations played a role -- back channel keeping the dialogue open. >> yes. yes. yes. it was one of their real tramps. >> i think we have time for one more. >> and the political situation that might have related to american decision

barry, if you would stand and be recognized, i would appreciate it. >> we've also been joined by maxinese. south care lineians -- south carolinians can make a difference if we so choose. maxine, would you stand and be recognized as well. >> and finally, if i might, i would single out the first lady, not as i did last year in recognizing what she had done in saving the taxpayers money at the warehouse and the mansion, but in her truly phenomenal grace that she showed the world and the state in the storm that i brought to our family and to the state at large. and here in her absence, would you give her a round of applause as well. [applause] >> now, never losing the perspective of the taxpayer, let me underscore that some of those -- the savings jenny created back at the wearing house, the mansion and lace house, is a reminder to every one of us at how we can follow the lead of working south carolinians in finding creative ways of doing more with less. doing more with less is what families across our state are indeed doing every day. it is something that is a part of their lives. and i wo

and john barry who's here tonight, the head of the team working through some of the most difficult circumstancesever and produced a fantastic book and report. when i was prosecuted by the ira, of which i was for suggesting that some of the members were stealing money, i had to go to belfast. and most unfortunately the guys who were escorting me took a wrong turn. so get down but it reminded what the reporters were doing on the spot every day. so that's what we're here to celebrate at tonight. just in a time and i've seen it happen more and more where really good is being squeezed out of existence often by meat heads i call them -- people with more -- who think the newspapers are a great way to make a lot of money as it was and isn't any longer and just know that a reporter or a newspaper were going for that. so it's very -- i think we have to keep reminding everybody journalism is not dead. the delivery of the vehicle will change and so it must change. so that's very important. and i've always been very grateful that my publisher gave me the time to try to set out what a newspaper can do. not ju

laura barry from the interface center on corporate responsibility. the previous speaker offered a simple sort of framework for how do we move from where we are to what he was recommending. do you have a prescriptive that is equally simple and elegant? >> well, if you -- no one can match peter easel gans, but basically, the first step is to remove shareholders from the equation and put both companies into receivership. and then use them in receivership as government corporations. the second step is, and i think that concerns are there, you know, will anybody buy the debt or the mortgage-backed securities of this thing if it just has this, quote, effective government guarantee? we may have to provide a full guarantee of business going do forward. not the -- i mean, we've already accrued the losses we're going to accrue. and that will require a step forward in terms of the budget process, and i think peter's right, that's difficult. but i, frankly, think it is preferable not to get mired in budget issues if we think that a particular solution is on the
