-- literally the biblical implosion of the levees breaking and the impact of the hurricane on new orleans. i think that was more of a failure of leadership at all levels rather than the failure of the department. men and women with the right direction and the right support consistently delivered i think rather admirable service in response to natural disasters. 9/11 was not an admirable -- it was noteworthy for the wrong reasons. a lot of lessons were learned by the administration. they made some corrections, and i suspect the same today because of the corrections made in the global aftermath of katrina makes it an even stronger department. it should remain growth in the department of homeland security. host: last question, what is more difficult, running a state, a department, or writing a book? guest: good question. i enjoyed all three. guest: the bug is called "the test of our times. it is coming out in december -- is coming out in september. host: in just a moment, sir david frost will join us on his perspective about the reporting of his interaction with richard nixon from 1977. it i

it was like biblical. i was trying to experience some of the wild life there wouldn't be manete in florida today if it wasn't for roosevelt. gerald ford is a very small book. this book was the book i was going to live and die by. i was putting everything i had as for my childhood experience at national parks to my knowledge of theodore roosevelt. many women have written great books recently on t.r. kathleen dalton. there's great literature out there. i've been going to t.r. conferences really since the 1980s. my hobby was less t.r. than the sites that he saved. when happened with the reagan diaries is i wasn't expecting it. about our rangers and d. day. peat wilson, the former governor of california. there was a stiplation. one with mrs. reagan that ended it up quickly. i had been working on rose velt. this is such an important thing to do. you were living in new orleans? >> yes. i was professor at tulane. i named my study center. the theodore roosevelt study center. >> at rice university nourks i teach a

the jewish people lay claim to this area since biblical times. the establishment of the jewish state of israel formalized the return of their homeland by an international agreement. both the united states and the u.n. including the soviet union, recognized the state of israel. the day after the jewish state was established in 1948, it was invaded by six surrounding arab nations. a negotiated cease fire ended hostility, with jerusalem being split in the middle between israel and jordan. in 1967, israel was once again invaded by syria from the north, jordan from the east and jirpt from the southwest. -- egypt from the southwest. israel expanded its border by including the golan heights that was controlled by syria, the west bank controlled by jordan and gaza controlled by egypt. some would have you believe that the establishment changed the borders of arab states in an agreement that existed for centuries. that is incorrect. the boundaries of the middle east countries were fixed by western powers after turkey was defeated in world war i. the french

but these i heard over and over and over in the chat room but also saw other people who did attach biblical rhetoric, and i think we had one participant who becomes so upset -- obsessed with it and less verses from the bible but then i discovered he was a priest, his house kicked him out and now he start drinking and wants to redeem by writing bible verses on this ethos website. so, it was a lot of fun. >> okay if there are no more questions, okay, we have a couple more questions. >> could you describe when someone went to the site what did they see, what were their traces and typically what did people do? >> that is a great question. i think from the very beginning when i got the idea of watching the news i went right away and started researching. how could i put technology and website together? one thing i would come across it was a cyber website, has anybody heard of cyber hunting? okay, it's a business in texas where you could longline with a gun and shoot a dear and they would package to you the next day. i felt this is interesting, this is exactly what i want and i contacted them like

we look for a fair and just solution to the emigration issue in america, let us all combined this biblical instructions with the fact that we are a nation of laws and borders in america. it is unfortunate that at times during the immigration debate that the rhetoric hasotten overheated. the undertones and certain circumstances have alienated many communities. we must do everything in our power to remember the scriptures and insure immigrants in this debate are always treated with dignity and respect. [applause] the public discussion should reflect gratitude for the enormous contributions made by your community and the many others that make up the patchwork of our nation. the fabric of america is strengthened by your, and work ethics, by our determinations, by our faith in god, by our devotion to family and cultural roots, and by your willingness to serve in our military and thank you to those wounded warriors who are here.

nonetheless, methodisms egalitarian spirituality, its teachings of biblical discipleship and its ability to convince her that doing good was the best way to pursue change bound her to the teachings and the doctrines of methodism even though she rejected the institutional church. the philosophy of methodism and her 1843 epiphany as sojourner truth converged into a divine dispensation that had her speak against the evils of society. she was summoned by the spirit that speaks to me. she was confident, bold, and unafraid to as she said go where others dared not follow. for years she was the lone black woman on the public stage. i cannot read, she said, but i can hear. what she heard comprised the majority of her speeches. she subscribed to newspapers and had them and the bible read to her. she listened to lectures and speeches and she formed opinions on social and political issues and used sacred texts as metaphors to define the times in which she lived. she delighted audiences with her homespun political parables based on rural farm life. as she said in akron, ohio, in that famous "ain't a

did, is he did it because he was a religious baptist day and christian science is the belief in biblical process of -- prophecies to the return of the jews to the ancient homeland. president truman never officially use religion as a reason to support the creation of a jewish state but it manifest itself both before he became president and after he recognized israel. truman claimed to have read the bible at least a dozen times before he was 15 and he looked to it for inspiration and guidance as an adult progress is senator, truman along with his congressional colleagues joined the mayor can it/palestine committee that later changed its name to the american christian palestine committee, the christian zionist organization supporting the creation of a jewish national home and palestine by think we can conclude that the very least truman's religious training and familiarity with the old testament gave him a sense of the appropriateness of the jewish return to palestine. lastly, there is the eddie jacobson theory. i can tell you how many people when we were working on this topic have said did

this was the first hole lead jewish military unit since biblical times. and kosciuszko was pleased with this and he wrote in his newspaper, the government gazette which was the propaganda organization of the union that nothing will convince other nations of sanctity of cause and the just of the revolution them fact we set aside different religions and traditions of those that support our uprising and that of our own free will be offered to lay down their lives. kosciuszko's article went on to explain how jews suffered over the centuries but now they were willing to die for poland. and when the fighting started, even the embassadors from austria and sweden started writing saying this is unusual because even the jews are taking up arms. and a couple of weeks later there was an appeal written in the government is said to the jews saying listen, children of the tribes of israel, you who have in your heart implanted the image of god almighty, all five are willing to help in the struggle for the fatherland we should act, the time has come to concentrate, concen

this was the first wholly jewish military unit since biblical times. and kosciuszko was very pleased with this and he wrote in his newspaper, the government gazette, which was the propaganda organization and the nothing will help us than the fact we set aside the different religions and traditions of those who support our uprising and that that theirj( own free will they offered to lay down their lives. kosciuszko's article went on to explain how jews had suffered over the centuries but now they were willing to die for poland. and when the fighting started, even the ambassadors from austria and sweden started writing to their king saying this is unusual because even the jews are taking up arms. and a couple of weeks later, there was an appeal in the government gazette to the jews saying listen, children, of the tribes of israel, yee who have in their@yq implanted the image of god almighty all that are willing to help in the struggle for the father land, we act. the time has come to consecrate for our strength let us fight for our country. my beloved b

it was like biblical to watch these turtles interact. when i go there, i wasn't just looking at documents. i was trying to experience some of the wildlife that directly, or indirectly that roosevelt saved. there wouldn't be manhattanty if he didn't create the refuge. >> when did you the gerald ford book? >> i did it for a series that came out around that time. when you write a lot like i do, there are big books and small books. there is a book like that, gerald ford is a very small book mainly for the general reared. >> all that series was about 200 pages. >> yeah. this book was for me, the book i was going to live and die by, i was putting everything i had as from my childhood experience in national parks to my knowledge of theodore roosevelt . many women recently have written incredible books on t.r. like pa tricia o'toole and kathleen dalton. there is great literature out there and we have known each other. i have been going to t.r. conferences really since the 1980's where i visited and talked to scholars and collect things. because

let me say, first, being no biblical scholar but that's from the sermon on the mountain where jesus talks about, try to get the cinder out of your neighbor's eye before you take the plank out of your eye. and that's fine. but i know that somebody thinks -- most everybody thinks this is a very con tin jouse place and so when people start talking about these things, they think, oh, it's that same old stuff. i want you know that the announced date of the firing of that rocket by north korea is independence day, july fourth. that's the day they said they're going to shoot a rocket at hawaii. now, i'm assuming that the white house and the select committee on the house and senate on intelligence are very, very interested in knowing accurate information about what's going to be on the nose of that rocket when it's fired. because, quite frankly, if you want to restart the korean war, how spectacular could it be that they'll have an armed missile fired at one of our states and then invade across the 38th parallel? it could be disastrous. it's not my imagination working, it's happened before. i mea
