bush. and still they stand up and say, push's fault, bush's fault. bush's fault? $140 billion deficit under bush, i voted for a balanced budget, i'll keep voting for that, but mr. speaker to equate a $1.4 trillion deficit and a $1.8 trillion deficit coming the year behind that and to equate that to $140 billion deficit, it defies any rational thought, mr. speaker. and i hope thative conveyed some rational thought for you tonight and i'm glad that you paid attention and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the gentleman from ohio, mr. ryan, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. ryan: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm going to rise this evening with some of my colleagues to repudiate some of the comments that have been made here tonight, to correct some of the record, to and provide, i think, the real story, mr. speaker, of what is going on in americ

[applause] >> boyden, again, we have been talking about the direct link to the president. i can testify openly about how much president h. w. bush was focus on this and wanted to get it done. he had a great lieutenant that was always there working with us. give us a sense of any little insight about working with president bush and working with us to bridge the gaps we had at that time. >> thank you for the opportunity to celebrate this wonderful legislation. one of the key people that as an should be mentioned and honored is evan kemp.

when bush was going to war in iraq. by the way, as someone pointed out, no chomsky -- no one chomsky said that he got the longest applause of anyone there. north america makes an issue of everything he says. but bush is the one that started the war. initiated by the venezuelan art -- oligarchy and supported by the u.s.. >> i recall that comment from bush. immediately after he gave that speech he came to a studio in new york at the embassy. my crew had him on this program. we interviewed him shortly after that speech. it was a fascinating day to talk to him. >> in the film we have kirschner, his friend. he says that he likes to go chavez as a friend, but he needs to think about a successor. right now the system needs to be made sure it works. >> that does not bother you? that he is setting himself up to be like castro? >> there is always an norris scrooge -- enormous scrutiny on the election. not only do they have an electronic balances, but at the same time they have two groups. far better than florida in 2000. there wa

president bush completely overreacted. to a ragtag group -- small group of bedouin to learn how to fly planes and brought us into the war in afghanistan and iraq which i believe it's good to turn out to be the greatest blunder in u.s. history. president obama needs to be a stand-up guy and stand up president and get us out of these wars. my grandmother had the best advice about the middle east, she said let them kill each other. i think we need to get out of afghanistan and iraq. host: louisville, ky. jan, independent line. caller: good morning. i just want to say as far as the duplicity of pakistan, americans remember india was the first country on 9/11 to offer us support. they are looking for a way for us to is stop cozying up to india. neither democrat or republican officials will admit it. host: let us look at "the guardian" coverage of this. their lead story on this. one of the items is how a secret unit of special forces hunt down taliban leaders for kill or capture without trial. how the u.s. covered up evidence th

new territory here and bush has only himself to blame. cheney and rumsfeld they went too far they went overboard in such actually a transparent way i say transparent because we finally were able to find out what happened but i just think it was it was too excessive and it's caught up with them and the reason why we're putting our foot down is because we see that some of what they began has been carried over into the obama administration and therefore that is proof of my claim and others that if we don't stop them for what they just to the impunity will get worse and we're going to lose our democracy you recently wrote an article called the battle for justice heats up in which you say that the united states needs to look at argentina as an example you explain why because argentina has finally had its day in court so to speak at least the mothers of the disappeared the families of all those people who several decades ago lost their loved ones during a very brutal dictatorship and the last of the dictators has been sentenced to prison for th

it was president bush who ran a 2.13 trillion dollars in deficits. and wiped out the biggest surpluss in american history. an inheritance of 5. trillion dollars, a national debt of some five plus trillion dollars turned into a national debt of 10-plus trillion dollars. that record is not an abrasion how far. a deck -- in decade after decade, the democrats performed better than on the economy than republicans. some may be surprised to hear that. market analysis -- analysts larry greenberg studied administrations from john kennedy to george bush and found that, and i quote, jobs grew more slowly for each of the republicans than for any of the democrats. princeton political scientist larry bartal studied administrations from truman to bush and he found to quote a summary of his work, quote, when a republican president is in power, people at the top of the income distribution experience much larger real income gains than those at the bottom. by contrast, he said, democratic presidents generate higher income gains for all income groups. in 2008, the "new

there was no tea party movement when spending was out of control in the bush administration. there are those who suspect this is aimed at obama is legitimacy. i think it is so diverse and all over the place that you cannot just label it. they are equal opportunity haters. they need a reagan or a positive force to collect this energy. there will be a poster of charles crowdhamer and there is one nearby with obama and day hitler mustache. there has been no channel of his energy into something people can like. >> there is nothing compared to the way bush was caricatured and attacked and treated. i think there is nothing to the charge that obama is being treated any worse than his predecessor, certainly no worse than george bush. this naacp is an organization in search of a purpose% this is a search for relevance. who would care about this if this had not happened? you have an african-american attorney general in charge of civil rights. civil rights was heroic in a classic civil rights era. that is long over and needs a purpose. this was a publicity stunt. >> let me go back to un

bush? i would like to just finish with one other thought and that was what was relaid to have happened in iraq -- relaid to have happened in iraq after united states troops liberated iraq, not for any purpose other than to liberate and to free the people there and to assure us that they would not be a threat to their neighbors or the rest of the world, president bush appointed a retired general named jay garner. jay garner had heard the story relaid before and i called him this evening to ask if i could retell it here. he was in charge of looking about, talking to people all around iraq and seeing what kind of government would be best suited for iraq so that we could help the iraqi people establish a nation of strength and a representative hopefully of government and he talked to people around the country and over and over people kept referring him to this huge man, a shi'a, a cleric, who worry the black turban, the black robes and was a descendent, apparently, of muhammad, and everyone kep

bush was particularly. i don't think there's ever been a time in american history when we had the highest officials in government so flagrantly break the law and show no respect at all for the rule of law they just created laws just out of whole cloth. they created laws in secret behind closed. doors that were in them a cold to american democracy. and shameful to our international image some of those lost for instance redefined torture so that it made it ok for the c.i. a to brutalize prisoners and detainees. supposedly even doing it legally for instance allowing the waterboarding to be done legally one in fact it is a violation of international law and u.s. law but it didn't matter provided that they did these laws in secret do you realistically with all due respect think you're going to be successful. i take the long view i think that to do nothing is a travesty because of the damage that's been done to our country and to our reputation around the world u.s. president barack obama has said several times t

bush in the dog to answer for his behavior in the white house. for the administration of george w. bush was particularly lawless i don't think there's ever been a time in american history when we had the highest officials in government so flagrantly break the law and show no respect at all for the rule of law they just created laws just out of whole cloth they created laws in secret behind closed doors that were in the american democracy. and shameful. and you can catch the full interview in around twenty minutes from now here. u.s. secretary of state says north korea will face new sanctions in the latest bid to stem its atomic ambitions hillary clinton was speaking in south korea after holding talks with the defense and military officials there she said the new measures including the freezing of assets aim to stop north korea purchasing or sending arms it comes just days before a joint military exercise aimed at deterring pyongyang from any potential attacks the north denied accusations that it was behind the sinking of a warship belonging to the south in march publish a call from

a disputed election but when he signed the two thousand and one bush tax cuts in july was seen as a campaign promise that was delivered at the time the economy was slowing but bush argue that those tax cuts would stimulate the economy create jobs and we all know how that worked out the job growth never happened and we're still paying for those tax cuts today and the income gap in america is getting larger by the minute then of course nine eleven happened the country became united bush's approval rating soared and he started not one but two wars in his first term i wouldn't necessarily call those legislative victories over think we all know he never got congressional approval for those wars and we are still fighting them today and finally bush got no child left behind signed into. early two thousand and two but i think we all know the reviews on that one or makes two as to whether or not it's health education system but at the end of the day torture war record all bush knew how to sell his message to the public he knew how to at least make them feel that what he was getting done was

bush and george w. bush. most recently when the past administration added to the national debt by prosecuting an endless occupation of iraq, with borrowed money, virtually no one on the other side raised this issue. most recently when the prior administration dramatically reduced the taxes of the top 5% of people in this country by borrowing the money, virtually no one on the other side raised this issue. and today members on the other side both in the other body and here have taken the position that while extending benefits to janitors and bus drivers and salespeople who lost their jobs is somehow fiscally irresponsible, if you don't offset it, then extending tax breaks to the top 5% of the people in the country on a permanent basis is completely responsible. so in other words, the person who is laid off her job cleaning an office building can't get unemployment benefits unless there is a spending cut or tax increase to pay for it. but the person who owns the office building, who could get a half billion dol

the bush administration never followed through. nine years and three months before the bp oil spill, just two weeks after taking office, president bush created the cheney energy task force. the task force met in secret largely with representatives of the oil gas and other energy industries. a little less than nine year before this spill on may 16, 2001, the cheney energy task force submitted its report. the report asserts that explore ration and production from the outer continental shelf has an impressive environmental record. the report further states that existing laws and regulations were creating delays and uncertainty that can hinder proper energy exploration and production projects. we are warned that substantial economic risks remain to investment in deep water and that the interior department must therefore be directed to consider economic incentives for environmentally sound offshore oil and gas development. with the cheney task force report, the first condition for this disaster rewriting the offshore drilling policies t

but, look, i think president bush's stock has gone up a lot since he left office. people appreciate his resolve and commitment in the face of the national security threat like nine libf 11. he had his -- 911. he had his challenges no doubt. we learned a lot about things we could have done better as republicans in terms of fiscal responsibility. but when he left office the deficit was 3.2% of the grows domestic product. today it's about 10%. we've added 2.3 trillion to the national debt since president obama got there. i think a lot of people are looking back with a little more fondness on president bush's administration and i think history will treat him well. >> so the book will be a plus for your candidates? >> i haven't read it and so i don't know what's going to be in it. but it's intriguing when you say it's going to be candid. i'm looking forward to reading it. >> thank you for being with us, senator. >> thank you. >> if you had the opportunity to be in politics right now, would you rather be the head of the democratic senate campaign or the republican? whose

it didn't happen during the bush administration. and now here we go again. we have 11 million, 12 million illegals in the country. they want to talk about, their words, comprehensive immigration reform. well, i don't want to talk about that. i don't want to deal with it until our borders are secured. then we need to come together and determine what is the best way to address that issue. >> larry: thank you, governor. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, larry. have a great day. >> larry: you too. governor jan brewer, republican governor of airs. laura ingraham is next. don't go away.

bush, and obama. they've all known. no money that is pried out of the hands of those that earn it and those that pay those that earn it, none of that money go into social security trust fund. not a dime. that's tragic. i was pushing that back at the time in 2005 and -- true, there were republicans who did not support that. and there were lots of democrats who didn't. because as we've seen, since my friends across the aisle have had such a huge majority in recent years, they've done nothing about social security tax money going in to the social security trust fund. controlled both houses, they could have passed a bill requiring social security tax money to go into the trust fund in january of 2007 and madam speaker, i can tell you there would have been a lot of us republicans that voted for that. had they decided to bring that to the floor. there was -- if it was brought to the floor this week, next week, i would vote for it. social security tax money must go into the social security trust fund. but there's a reason that

bush, some arms got folded. some heads lean-backed with the old, "okay, don't say-- this is bush country." what does that mean? what does that mean? "you--i want you to tell me "why you're a dyed-in-the-wool republican or democrat, because there's no discernable difference." most people only do things because it's habit. everything's a habit. your patriotism could be habitual. your religion is habitual. your desire to marry and have children is habitual, all of these things. so when you do stand-up, you run the risk of meeting a lot of the resistance of habit, if that makes-- if that's a phrase i can use. i just don't know if that makes sense. but you are-- when you speak of politics or anything that is questioning the status quo, you hit a wall of habit. "okay, i'm a republican, and i'm catholic." "why?" "because my parents were." "why?" "because their parents were." "but why?" "i don't know, and if you make me answer that question, i dislike you." you know what i mean? like, there's a-- nobody wants to be-- no

he had to pay that because of bush. we have a lot of callers and they indicate that they need to look up an part -- important article from "forbes" magazine. they ranked the presidents since world war ii. everyone keeps talking about ronald reagan and all he did. he comes in fourth. the first three are clinton, johnson, and kennedy. so they need to start reading up on what happened. bush created three million jobs in eight years. the lowest of any president. the reason we have these deficits is the fact that ronald reagan started this by giving dax breaks to the rich. that started the -- started with reagan and that's what we're still doing now. host: from the washington times, jobless benefits extension oked. in a 252-152 vote, president obama signed that bill into law. obama also signed a bill to curb pay-out waste. fraud costs agencies $110 bell bill in 200 -- $110 billion in 2009. >> also, an interview with timothy geithner and charlie rose. at the end of the interview, geithner says fan fan -- fanny mae and freddie

but i'll give you two numbers that summarize the bush policies . eight million lost jobs, 14 $$14 -- $14 trillion in wealth lost to american households. 8,000 jobs, $14 trillion, trillion. now, americans can do it. we've been through tough times before but we have always pulled together as a nation to overcome our challenges. after challenges americans return stronger, more determined and more united. democrats came together and faced the challenges that we were handed by mismanagement by the bush republicans. and together we are pulling our economy back from the brink of economic ruin. as americans i know we can do it. that's why we're here tonight. i received a couple of texts from folks at home, they are watching. americans know we can do it. we can turn our economy around and get our economy back on track. and i will yield back. thank you. . the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 6, 2009, the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. gohmert for 60 minutes. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. now as alway

but the idea was, it's starring george bush and laura bush and, originally, the bush twins in the white house. 'cause it's your family sitcom. it's your family sitcom. somewhere along the line, we--one of our writers on this show wrote sides, wrote a little scene. we were casting-- we were casting many different-- like, we were seeing what kind of cast we were going to even have. and we were casting-- doing initial casting call for the bush twins, the bush daughters. and he wrote a scene that was pretty over-the-top. it was about them being like lesbians and stuff. it was all implied; it was pretty stupid. but it was never going to be in the show. it was just for casting purposes to get people-- that got leaked to the internet, and then it made, like, page six or something. yeah, hit the papers. some tabloid picked it up, and it just--boom. and it was like, "matt, trey, lesbian bush daughters," and-- so that was never the intent, to-- no, in fact-- and i think that, then, people-- although, that's kind of a funny-- anyone who saw the show saw that it was this outrageous show. but again,

he ended up going from meeting to meeting caught between saddam hussein and george bush's in patients. he is the executive chairman of the u.s. and monetary inspection commission until june 2003. they told us that he believed iraq did have wmd. >> i felt that iraq retains weapons of mass destruction. i did not say so publicly. i said it perhaps to mr. belair privately, but not publicly. >> he said he believed the controversial british dossier was plausible, but critical of the way the intelligence services relied on the evidence of iraqi defections. >> they should have realized in london and washington that their sources were pork. they want to get a reward for intelligence so they try to give what interrogators want to hear. >> president bush believed in force rather than diplomacy. >> i think the u.s. was high on military. they felt they could get away with that. >> he believed tony blair and genuinely hope to the inspections would work in the military action would be avoided. >> i never questioned the good faith of mr. blair. what i questioned was a good judgment of bush. >> he tol

these are the two bush, jr., tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.e 1948 tax cuts were vetoed by truman but passed over that veto -- it is the biggest one-year cut in the sample. this is a series we're want to use of the tax rate side. -- this is the series we are going to use on the tax rate side. i mentioned this study. they are trying to assess the effect on gdp from changes in tax revenue. in contrast to what she did when she looked at the expenditure side, there analysis on the tax revenue side is quite a serious academic study, which has a reliable parts to it. i have problems with some of the specifics. but it is quite a valuable contribution. the kind of results they get, in terms of tax multipliers, is roughly 1.5. if you cut taxes by $1, you get an expansion of gdp by about $1.50. that is the kind of estimate that comes out of this study. the main thing they are concerned about in this study is this reverse causation issue. they are worried that talks -- tax changes might reflect the economy, rather than just tax changes affecting the econo

bush was. i hope he can keep the country save as bush was able to do for many years. >> more questions. here is the microphone. quick questions a quick answers. been one of the major issues that has not been addressed is the media's influence and how it drives whether the democrats or republicans get into the house and senate. i think it was jerry clear in the 2008 election that obama was elected not only by the people, but by the media. you had three liberal outlets -- >> what is a question? >> how does the media affect this race? >> we have a liberal monopoly on media. we have had that for a long time. >> i am sorry. this is the single most over inflated issue.

security agency spying program they first called it a terrorist surveillance program and president bush assured americans that only they were only listening to a telephone call between an american i want and al qaeda member on the other end well that turned out to be complete nonsense because they were basically listening to everybody and probably what's happened is that the n.s.a. very powerful. the agency just north of here in columbia maryland they try to listen and they try to record basically every telephone call made on earth and then they download in this huge database are now building enormous data center in your salt lake city utah where they're going to store all this stuff and then when they need to break it out and listen to some of it analyze it that's what they'll do so we're just recording everything basically and so there's just too much information way way too much information and too many people too many things and i think they have basically lost control of it and that's part of the focus of this washington post story but how did they ever even rein it in perhaps like

bush. -- for 98% of americans, taxes are now lower than they were in any single year under president bush. they cannot dispute the nonpartisan analysis that show they have been responsible for as many as 3 million jobs. they cannot ignore the investment benefits in their own communities, not on the house minority whip himself has had features with employers who benefited from federal funds. it is a policy voted against. while all house republicans voted yes to these investments, more than half of the republicans in congress have taken credit for them in their districts. president obama has signed into law a hire act that cuts employers' taxes for every unemployed worker hired back. the treasury department has reported that between february and may, the act gave small businesses $8.50 billion in tax cuts for millions of new workers. democrats have also passed legislation helping to support $28 billion in new lending for small businesses. we hope to do another $30 billion debt leverage and to
