the guards and then dan barry and every other unit i was and were overwhelmingly male and i think one of the -- the things that bothered me certainly was that again that dynamic of people who are near complete power over one quarter of people who have complete power over another co-worker of people are arranged along the gender lines had this incredible affect on anyone mentally. of course there are a lot of women who are in prison and have not necessarily had all of the agency's a middle class woman might have in terms of gender politics and in terms of quality so there is a terrible reinforcement of that dynamic that takes place in women's prisons because of that lopsided population of the male guard colewort. >> host: when you were preparing to write your book, or their models of narrative you used? for their favorite books you model stores all, other books about women in prison or other books of any kind of work useful? >> guest: i love your book? >> host: that's very nice. >> guest: i loved your book. i read with great interest and debt times total bangerter -- ander. it's differ

it was generally that barry goldwater's defeat in '94 was the end of restraint on the federal government. so reagan came in at the end of that but he also came in, in a period when that whole effort to manage the society, manage the economy had come in to real -- into real question. i mean, the 1970s were a time where the government promised continuing prosperity and you had economic problems throughout the period. real instability instead of prosperity. you had a society that was seemingly falling apart. and had seemed to have fallen into decay in certain ways exemplified best by president carter's speech toward the end of his presidency in which he said that there was a national malaise. and that we were -- the public wanted the wrong things and the country was seriously off track. reagan used this crisis quite well. the other point i would mention about it, this crisis, was that taxes had been going up through the 1970s primarily through inflation but they had been going up on everyone. everyone was paying more taxes because government spending was growing. and reagan responded to tha

so, for example, i offered the example, this is borne out by the anecdote that chair barry berrien offered, if the employer admits it rejected the employee, because of the stereotype that older workers are less productive than others, even if that plaintiff has that, he or she will still lose and get nothing unless he or she can also prove the employer had no other nondiscrimination reason that would have justified the decision at the same time and it is very hard for the plaintiff to go in to the employer's head and explain what wasn't there at the time of the decision. >> so, it just seems like, to me, that there is a higher wall to climb. and, that is why i was so taken and mr. dreiband seemed to be saying, that after gross, that the plaintiffs have been advantaged. and he seemed to presents some sort of evidence of that. do you know... did the evidence that he presented seem anecdotal or was it based on some kind of statistics. >> i hope he was not saying gross advantaged plaintiffs. that was not the case, i understood him to say some age discrimination plaintiffs win after gross and i

and what you should do about it. 35 years ago barry mcguire wrote a song. it was called "eve of destruction." and with the arguments the bears are making right now, every minute i put the tv on or read, i think it's more relevant than ever. ♪ tell me over and over and over again, my friend ♪ ♪ how you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction ♪ >> that's exactly what we're hearing, right? right? or how about -- ♪ don't you understand what i'm trying to say ♪ ♪ can't you feel the fears i'm feeling today ♪ >> oh, yeah, sure, i feel the

we had gone with barry goldwater and we were wiped out, 38% of the vote. and i realized the country wasn't ready for goldwater conservatism. and of the two candidates running, nixon and romney, nixon was far superior in terms of talent, ability. he was a figure of history when i met him. he'd been, you know, involved in his case when i was 9 years old sore. -- or so. he did want to name conservative supreme court justices. he was badly misled in the people he named. he did want to -- you know, leave vietnam with honor. i think he would have preferred to win the war and so an awful lot of issues i think he agreed. but basically i don't think he was a goldwater conservative at all. >> host: do you have a problem with the bushes? >> guest: well, you know, i think they have a problem with me. look, george bush was a friend of mine. let me tell you a story of george h.w. bush. i had bought a house in northwest washington and i was gone from the white house and my wife was still there and i left. and i was unpacking at my house. and the first visitor to the door

at home to take on his own critics, his own conservative critics in his party -- ronald reagan and barry goldwater being the principle ones -- to complete the process that richard nixon started, though he supported it. and interestingly, when president carter finally took the -- the -- the -- the final step, one of the few people who was willing to stand up and support what president carter did was president ford. and -- and i think that their relationship ever since has been affected by that. you know, they're very close. president carter benefited from the fact that both -- he was determined to complete the next step, the final step. but also, mao tse-tung died, and in deng xiaoping, he had a man who was willing to take bigger risks on getting closer to america to put -- to put pressure on the soviet union, and -- and deng much more the hard-liner against the soviets and -- and -- and, therefore, that drove them together to make the final step. president reagan, the most -- the most muddled of all presidents. he and president clinton, i would argue, came into office with this sentiment

as barry goldwater first demonstrated taking a cue from george wallace and clearing the way for moresuccessful campaign by ronald reagan, richard nixon before him and both bushes, republicans found that they could rally a just angry white democrats in the previously solid south and to a lesser extent in northern urban areas, not by talking explicitly about race, but by rating against soft judges, states rights, welfare and criminal predators. this southern strategy turned to the party of lincoln into a white man's party as a conservative journalist put it at the time. and also help to propel the conservative counterrevolution and social and tax policy that has reworked the sociopolitical landscape in the united states and the latter third of the 20th century. 30 alchemy of race and crime with the powering collusion of centrist democrats, the new right has turned the great society into a mean society. the question now, at the start of a new century, at the dawn of the obama era is whether or not america's gift of counterrevolution, a counterrevolution that didn't force under route cou

i want to say as an aside, jon barry, new head of the office of personnel and management, is onboard with this. he's on the leading edge. he's as excited as we are that this legislation is on the floor today. this is really about good government. there's information, in fact, the nonprofit partnership for public service has released a study that indicates that in the next five years, approximately 550,000 federal employees, almost 30% of the federal work forest is going to retire. -- owork force is going to retire or leave government. we need the best and brightest folks to come in and take their place. that's a responsibility we have. we need to be competing in the workplace, in the market, for the most talented people. one way you do that is to show you have flexible policies and the telework is part and parcel of the federal work force. the u.s. patent and trademark office, the defense information systems agency and some other agencies have really led the way. they've made this state of the art within their workplace, telework and they're showing what can be done at the highest le

barry goldwater said i want to make sure they shoot straight. he wanted their commitment to this country and service. he saw them as patriots. i don't want anyone barring me. i don't care who they are. hear me? and i don't want any male member ofthe armed forces barring any female member of the armed forces. why? because that's against the law and against morality. but i tell you, my friends, this bill is about our national security. this bill is about people who perform their service to our country. this bill is about making sure that america is safe. this bill is about making sure that we defeat teorism and keep america safe. let's focus on that. let's not be distcted. let's focus on protecting america, defeating terrorists and taking care of our troops. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. mckeon: might i inquire how much time i have remaining? the chair: 6 2 minutes. mr. mckeon: i yield myself such time as i may consume. thchair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mckeon: the majority
