[laughter] host: to each of you, does dwight eisenhower or anyone else on this list move up into the top five or beat out abraham lincoln, george washington, etc.? guest: no one is going to beat abraham lincoln or george washington eight -- anytime soon. and franklin is quite remarkable. times,t that he won four 32, 30 6, 40, and 44, that he guided us through the great depression with his new deal programs, you know, social , we all now live in a social security america of franklin. and being the commander in chief for world war ii, facing off against not see germany and many of theing so top generals and admirals, putting them in the top slot, there's a group of books from nigel hamilton about fdr pointing out how he is the mastermind of d-day, not winston churchill or someone else. he is very secure at number three. there are people who think he should be number one because of thelong we have lived in shadow of fdr, all the way from 1945 to 1980, when reagan gets elected and starts

donald trump's challenger is a lot more credible than the last one we saw, pat buchanan. he is the former republican governor of massachusetts, william weld, who served two terms as governor. prior to that, he served as the u.s. attorney in boston, the top federal prosecutor in boston. like barack obama, he is a graduate of harvard law school and like president kennedy and a few other presidents, he is a graduate of harvard college. bill weld is not well known nationally, but he is already polling at 8% among republicans. and i know that sound low to you now, but it is higher than what donald trump was polling at this point on the campaign calender four years ago. at this point in the campaign calender four years ago, bernie sanders was polling at only 8% in in the democratic primaries. current polls show donald trump with 54% of the republican primary vote, with 8% definitely voting for bill weld and another 20% currently leaning toward trump, but they could vote for bill weld. bill weld is in a position to knock off donald trump. maybe not stop him from getting the nomi

although, it's interesting writing it entirely but basically having the same facts of pat buchanan, is that one really more honest click and i i had done that more and not muted the actual text of the book from most quotations. .. . >> like surrender dorothy. say you are sorry. and that isla plagiarism. plagiarism does involve and intent. it just does. and what i did is clearly the neil not venal completely unintentional and in the scheme of things, not taking a whole paragraph or a long passage so that is the difference. so i am not arguing i am sure there are experts or other professors and that this is a form of research does that make a difference? . >> no piquant doesn't but ne big protest have all come from one place. >>host: we will move on but justin went to ask a couple more questions because some of the other things that some of the critics have brought to your attention is that intentional or not this would not be tolerated at "the new york times" and would be a firing offense and now you are at harvard. >> academic writing standards are different but quite i don't want to g

the planning department still has not addressed the fact that 3620 buchanan project is on this specific list complied as the guidelines as it states a categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site included on any list complied pursuant to section 65962.5. this project is on this list. as the planning department has already stated, they have been in discussions with dtsb about the hazardous waste materials on the site. the department itself has produced substantial evidence into the record this is the case. the materials are also included in the planning department's memo as well as in the subsequent appeal letter we have provided to the board. this is clearly an exception to the exemption and the planning department cannot apply this categorical exemption. with 1598 bay street and the fact it too was also on the list, yes, someone could have challenged that categorical exemption as well. no one did. the statute of limitations has passed. the categorical exemption is presumptively valid and the lawyer that was otherwise representing 1598 bay regarding the entitl

[laughter] people don't do this anymore. but i must have been about eight years old. i was, the right word is precocious. every summer we would get in the station wagon and do a section of the country. the deep south, the midwest, you know. and guess to get to set the itinerary? so is all organized around presidential gravesites and civil war battlefields and we found out, -- burden indiana you know that sort of thing. the only concession that was made to the others was you know they got a swimming pool in the evening. and that was a form of study. i mean there is no excuse i mean there's nothing quite like being there. i don't know how you feel

he doesn't believe in our principles and he opposed the buchanan support for a fraudulent constitution in kansas but he doesn't believe slavery is wrong, why should we give him a free pass if he doesn't accept the basic principle upon which our party is founded? lincoln then writes in a letter recently discovered by the people in charge of the papers of abraham lincoln, a project run out of springfield, they found a new letter written at the time in which he refers to sister burling game, normally we don't like to talk about that in the family. in 1858 campaign villard also bumps into lincoln and chats with him, he hears him speak and he has some rather positive things to say in his memoirs. for example october 1858 just before the election day he bumps into lincoln just outside of petersburg which is near new salem just north of springfield. here is what he says in his autobiography. lincoln and i met accidentally about 9:00 on a hot sultry evening at a flag railroad station about 20 miles west of springfield. i was on my return from a great meeting held at petersburg. he that is like

and in your book it says he wrote a column in the american conservative the magazine run by pat buchanan of the knee-jerk liberals a phrase that mcginnis often use that anyone with dark skin with light skin would be believed? he lamented the liberal views of the magazine saying they were brainwashed by communist propaganda. these are obviously remarkably similar and my first thought was this was an editing error. >> i don't want to blame the editor. >> no, no, no. i'm sorry. >> notetaking, written notes, putting them into a global document and making it into a manuscript, yes, there were many, many times i was moving copy around. and i really tried to be scrupulously careful and i'm genuinely horrified that there are these examples. . >> but recently i've watched some of your interviews you are suggesting it's not an egg. >> you are saying it is a citation error. >> so how is it if it is word for word almost? . >> that is one that i reviewed all six that should have been in quotations or rewritten one line - - entirely are one of the other but it is interesting rewriting it entirely and

not since pat buchanan went against president george h.w.he ultimately lost the general election. could bill weld be president trump's pat buchanan. let me ask him. bill weld joining us now. welcome, governor. >> hi, s.e. >> i want to get back to what you said recently. you said the mueller report paints the president as a one-man crime wave. you've also said you plan to run a ferocious campaign. does that mean you will make trump the center piece of your presidential campaign? >> no. i think what i want to do is going to be the center piece of my campaign and the issues will be spending. i was rated the most fiscally conservative governor in the office. the president hasn't vetoed a dime of spending. number two is jobs and wages. all of the jobs that are abouti by saying he wants the future to be coal and oil. and then some more general issues. lying is almost a default position for the president. five would be a free press. the president says we don't need a free press. that's just an autocrat talking. six, in some ways the most important

there is only so much you can do for james buchanan. but it is true. the study of every single president is useful, and i think will deepen your understanding and appreciation of american history. it is broad but immensely admirable experiment of which we are all embarq. susan: we can't leave you without you telling the story of the trips he used to take with your parents as a young man. richard: the station wagon from hell.

that is probably a reference to james buchanan who in his annual message to congress said there is no justification for the south to secede and no power that we have is the federal government to do anything about it. its future occupant, lincoln, was showing more pluck than they were perhaps giving him credit for. he is possessed of true kentucky grit and will not fail to demonstrate in a striking manner, that quality. although ready and anxious to respect the constitutional rights of all sections of the country, he feels that he is duty bound to uphold the federal laws. knowing himself to be right, consequences will have no terror for him and he will strictly fulfill his constitutional obligations and let the responsibility for whatever will arise from southern resistance rest with the public sense of justice placed on their shoulders. he goes on to say that the above may be deemed strong language, but your correspondent knows what he is writing about. he fully understands the meaning of every word he uses. being desirous of the views of the incoming administration for his informatio

this is a minute could have done what buchanan did.imply, sat there as the country was falling apart. he chose not to do that. he came into office and decided he was not going to he was not going to allow the stove to succeed without challenging that and so we judge him much higher than they would someone who justified it to leave it alone it really does matter if a person has determined that at the time or the man, and in this context if there's any predecessors now on the other hand, linkin lincoln n criticized because of the politics he decided to broaden his political and put a more democratic avery named the republican union. it's aat the time that the state seated as the governor of tennessee. we took the act of the best president you could make the case but in other ways he is getting so here are two men who were both amidst incredible hardship and who both overcame that in their own way economically. his childhood inflicted resentment on him against aristocrats and also against blacks. he typically failed to comprehend what the

and half accorded or visited buchanan as well as bush, and made overtures to even endorse him for the presidency the next year. the other spokesperson here we see or one of them is ralph nader and i think that's also fitting. so i mentioned that part of the reason this all happened, people like nader tried to popularize the international trade and investment policy in the 1990s, he tried to make it a household set of conversations himself. and he was perhaps the most influential in doing that. he was also the target of criticisms for that from the left. so in seattle, the organization legacy of leadership quality and organizing was a working class largely black and brown organization, with roots in the 1970s kind of third world marxism, and had really been central in fighting for the desegregation of the building trade in seattle. since the '70s. but they had developed their own kind of global justice set of programs and networks throughout the '90s, especially the late '90s and had in fact hosted already two international gatherings of workers including from the global south. so thin

has taken a page from te buchanan playbook. he's battling for the heart and soul of the nation. this may not work out so well. biden is the man who supported the obamacare mandate that required the little sisters of the poor to provide contraceptives against their devout religious beliefs. they are still fighting it in court. there were never truer words spoken. if it includes protecting the most vulnerable, joe biden may have a a problem. he provided a surcharge in the obamacare plan that saider for an elected abortion. he voted against the abortion ban on military basis and even parental notification when minors are seeking abortions. what's wrong america's soul? he did reject the famous line that all men are created equal. >> we have heard it so often it is almost a cliche. >> in recent years we've seen statues pulled down because they didn't measure up to the standards today. others would prefer that all reminders of the slave-owning founding father be stricten for the public square, the jefferson memorial, and monticello included. what biden did today is particularly danger

the board of supervisors unanimously denied the sequa appeal for the eight unit project at 3620 buchanan street, and you issued a certificate of appropriateness associated with this. the main appeal issues were related to the potential for public exposure to hazardous materials, and inconsistency with the zoning regulations, including rear yard modification. the staff explained why the project was appropriately exempt from environmental review under sequa, and they addressed questions from supervisors peskin and stefani, with relation to the garden and the garden structure. the commission -- or the board unanimously denied that sequa appeal, however, there are still other appeal opportunities once the building permit is filed and issued. two other short announcements. last week palar valley gave an informational presentation at the planning commission regarding the city wide survey. over all it went very well. the commission is supportive of this commission's desire to move quickly in completing the city-wide survey, and certainly supports a budget increase for the department to achieve

bob dole was well ahead and marched to that nomination and pat buchanan came in second and well backede good. they had bob dole ahead and he won. but of course there is another side of that coin. go back to 2008. rudy giuliani was ahead -- >> look at that. >> but he went nowhere. he lost the entire primary and didn't win a single one -- the person that got was this guy, john mccain at 22% and he came and won the new hampshire primary and these are a indication of what we expect the accuracy of polls at this point. they can be telling but often times they are not. you would rather be ahead because you are behind, we still have nine month as head. a ton of time. and who knows what will happen. maybe i'll dress nice. >> no jeans. >> maybe a tie or a tuxedo. >> i don't know you any more. harry, thank you. >> thank you. >>> now to this story under the radar today. the president proposing the sweeping restrictions to how migrants can seek asylum in the u.s. hear about the dramatic changes he's proposing and plus venezuela in chaos as the opposition takes to the street to try to force out pre
