gingrey: judge carter, i appreciate the gentleman from texas, judge carter, yielding to me. as the gentleman points out, this is a very, very serious time to be on the floor speaking to all of our colleagues on both sides of the aisle. and representative carter and myself and others on our side of the aisle as we bring these concerns to our fellow members, madam speaker, it's not something that we do lightly. it's not something we do lightly. and i hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle understand that. we have all grown up with the littleation, adages you hear from your parents or maybe at school or church. things like, if you live in a glass house you shouldn't throw rocks. i remember my dad told me one time a story about huey long, governor of louisiana. and i don't know whether it was in a re-election campaign or maybe his first campaign for governor, there was -- he had a critic, maybe even an opponent in that race, a general hugh johnson, and general hugh johnson was awfully critical of governor huey long and accused him of corruption and that sort of thing. and

carter: reclaiming my time. i don't want to keep belaboring this issue, but someone ought to think about this before they light the first firecracker on the 4th of july. and a country said they are back at war with us, and going to fire a missle at one of our 50 states and going to do it on the 4th of july. let's assume we will get intelligence on that. let's start off with them saying, doesn't carry a war head . and the man is going to have to make the decision is the president of the united states. this isn't a decision you do by committee. that's why we have an executive branch. he will collect that data. and the question is do we shoot it down. pretty sure it doesn't carry a nuclear missile. but he says, wait a minute. wait a minute. wait a minute. they lied to nancy pelosi, how do i know that they haven't done their work and telling me this to feel good about it. maybe there is a missile on board. or he thinks, i don't know what to do because i don't know if i can trust our intelligence. he knows the firing

jimmy carter said that this would be dangerous. . the technology that we developed. >> and would definitely agree that was the public face of it, much in the same way that three mile island was the public face of the demise of the new build it in this country. if you look at the other factors that went into it, you had several attempts to build several attempts to build commer reprocessing facilities at the time. frankly, the nrc changed the rules on them in midstream and told them they had to go back and reconfigure. that added to the cost. simultaneously, the overall economics began to fall out of the bottom as we saw new plants go by the wayside. it came to a point where it was not given that time, especially with the ridiculously high interest rates, it was not economical to build such a facility. it was a decision by the industry. from a public policy standpoint, president ford did it during the campaign. it was followed up on by president carter. he took it off officially. but president reagan came back three years later and sa

jimmy carter was a wonderful president in some ways but absolutely hopeless at that.'t really want to bring together american ingenuity and resourcefulness in the sense of sustained patriarchs energy. he wanted to make us feel sinful with the mischievous man that he was had a point when after listening to one of jimmy carter's on the television set on till the last night i had in realized god was a member of president carter's cabinet and ferociously cabinet god as well. so there is this sense of america and the title of the book is slightly over queued. the american future, a history was born out of the conviction there are certain moments even though it is thought to be in some anno note to project from the present moment as from the past because of the way obama was and it historical stories he liked to tell and because of the first pri history in american public culture i must say the first time that i realized this is when i was young also in cambridge i was having to teach. i remember a tuesday morning and 1967i taught in the morning and at least even some in th

carter: i like that. mr. king: i wanted to also and if the subject matter has been utilized adequately, i want to take this discussion over and talk a little bit where we are on cap and trade, cap and tax. looks like this administration is -- and the majority in this congress is determined to push through a waxman-markey bill or some version of it, probably the version that came out of committee here a few weeks ago. and have taken this position and i hold it that they're wrong on the science and economics. i want to address the science in a fairly short degree here. and it turns out to be this. remember our history. this issue was brought before this congress, i think the year was 1988, although i haven't referenced that. that's strictly from memory. when there was a hearing on global warming. and the lead witness on that was dr. james hanson. he and i went to the same high school together. he was ahead of me and i don't recall him. but the testimony was mid-summer. the room was not air conditioned. the humi

carter: that's correct. mr. king: understand a it occurs to me that czar, if you -- and it occurs to me, if you think about the flow and continuation of history, all the czars were precursors to the marxist era of russia. so i don't know if this is any kind of thing we ought to be thinking about, but the implications that come with this are the people that are supposed to be managing these jobs that we already had people to do, causes me to think, is this a precursor for what's happening in a nation that's seen our major industries nationalized? large investment banks nationalized, the largest insurance company nationaled. i didn't see any czar here of denationalization for one thing. i'm looking for that and i'd like to point that czar of denationalization and i can find about anybody on the republican side of the aisle that would make a good denationalization czar because, you know, i present this list that's in my head, not very well refine and maybe we'll get it better -- refined and maybe we'll get it bette

jimmy carter who was a sincere idealist was totally out of touch with reality. he lived in a world of fantasies. the result was a catastrophic failure. the clinton erra failures are similar. their passion for mistreating terrorism not as an act of war but as an act of criminal justice, their refusal to accept the threats to america, meant that they couldn't cope with the world trade center in 1993 which was in part plotted by a prison ica prison. -- in attica prison. or deal with the bombing in saudi arabia that they blocked the fbi from going and finding out what happened. they couldn't take charge of the two embassies bombed in africa. -- or yemen where the ambassador blocked the fbi from looking for people. therefore during the entire period of the clinton administration the ability of al-qaeda to plan 9/11 was never stopped, and the people who were doing it were never stopped, and as a result we were left in enormous danger. again and again the legalisms and self-deceptions of treating enemies as criminals led to more and more disastrous results. today many

it got so out of control with inflation, that jimmy carter tried to control it. basically, he was in the reagan years before -- you squeeze the equity out and it took different things to bring it back down. the government has used these systems, and that is the way our economy has run in the last few years. thank you. host: thank you. on the independent line, we have carlos from atlanta, georgia. caller: good morning, how are you doing? host: how are you? caller: i am good, thank you for asking. i think c-span for giving us -- i thank c-span for giving us the latest news and everything. one of the things that i have been hearing that the colors have interviews, and i understand all that. what i would like to point out is that if we are in the "united states," we should be united on many things because there are also republicans that helped president obama become president obama. i say that to say that even with ben bernanke, who is also from chicago -- and chicago has a history of politics and everything, but they have been coming through to make a great change.

jimmy carter was a wonderful president in some ways but he was absolutely hopeless at that.didn't want to bring together american ingenuity and resourcefulness in the sense of sustained patriotic energy. he wanted to make a field sinful, a mischievous man, had a point when after listening to one of jimmy carter's 7 like her ranks on television, he said until last night i hadn't realized that god was a member of president carter's cabinet. there is a sense that the reason the title of the book is slightly skewed, the american future, "the american future: a history," at some schools, it was said to be a no-no to historians to project back from the present moment issues from the past, because of the way barack obama was, the historical stories he likes to tell, in american public culture, the first time i realized this was when i was young. in cambridge, i was having to teach. tuesday morning in 1967, i thought peter at villard in the morning and adlai stevenson in the afternoon. i was haunted by what they would have made of each other. they would not have gone for adlai steve

carter. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. carter: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i thank both of my colleagues for going forward on this resolution today for first lieutenant kyle g. west. as has been said, kyle g. west died with four other soldiers on may 28, 2007, in iraq. this happened when an improvised explosive device struck the vehicle. kyle graduated from huddle high school in williamson county, texas, and he went on to achieve the rank of sergeant in the texas national guard while serving as a cadet in the rotc program at steven f. austin university and serving as secretary of the delta. he graduated and took his oath in the united states army as the second lieutenant on december -- in december of 2005. in january of 2006, lieutenant west went to oklahoma for officers training and then in june, 2006, was assigned to forthood, texas, where he was a field artillery officer for the first cavalry division, 3rd brigade, 6th squadron. kyle deployed to iraq on october 4, 2006, and was promoted to first lieutenant th

carter's visit is welcome. the leader and mr. carter held a joint news conference. an american flag was displayed alongside of of palestinian national flag and there was no green hamas flag inside. the next call is from south brooklyn, new york. caller: good morning. this show is very good overall. thank you. uc obama being careful with iran -- it will do only one thing. what is going on in iran right now -- obama is playing politics right now and is dangerous. asked the iraqi people who are rallying there now. do you like democratic? if they say yes, then they should accept the election. because when we have an election and the united states in the party wins, go ahead. the party who loses, if you do not like it, you do not go into the street. [unintelligible] host: before we run out of time a couple of other opinion pieces. "the wall street journal" puts it this way. the president yesterday denounced the extent of the fraud and a shocking in response of the running regime to public demonstrations. he says if ahmadinejad had made such progress why such violence? th

you and i did not disagree with jimmy carter's appearance. i am not aware the oil companies leptin down -- but you may have a different memory as i did. i was working in 1976, i started with amoco. i thought jimmy carter had it right, but nobody had done it cents. i would like to see more people doing that. jimmy carter did a lot of other things that were not exactly right for the country so i am not holding him as a beacon of hope, except in that regard. i do think about alternative fuels are good. i do think we need to proceed. by personally invested and biomass conversion did i was doing it back in 1979 when i got out of business school, to convert biomass and a very and garments with friendly way. i personally invested and hydrogen and technology conversions. the problem that i know for a fact as opposed to making it up is that what you need is money to fund it to get it to a bench scale from the original science and then you need to have a ton of money waiting to commercialize it. our government is getting exactly wrong. they want to thr

carter: i want to thank you for recognizing me today. i got some stuff i think's kibeds of interesting to talk -- kind of interesting to talk about. let's see, let's start with -- recently while listening to the radio i heard an announcement that president obama was appointing a gentleman to be named the compensation czar and that kind of threw me, i being an old criminal law trial judge. i remember the drug czars of past. i remember i think a couple of homeland security czars, but i never had heard of a compensation czar. so i started looking into it. and i've always thought that it was kind of peculiar for a democratic country to even use the term czar. but others have adopted it ahead of time so i don't have any problem with using the word czar although if you look it up in the dictionary you'll find out, the most pap lar version is a form of the -- popular version is the form of the russian, totally auto contractic emperorers of the old imperial russia -- emperors of the old imperial russia. i think it sound as little funny for us to

carter: thank you, mr. speaker, for recognizing me and allowing me to speak and i'd like to start first by apologizing to mr. ryan who i just wandered in here and walked in front of him while he was speaking. before i start with my speech, i want to apologize to mr. ryan for that inappropriate thing i did. i agree with president obama when he said this about spending if in may of 2008 while on the campaign trail. president obama, candidate at that time, said, $9 trillion of debt, that's just bad. that's just fiscally -- that's not fiscally conservative. and so we're going to have to change our policies. the first thing you do when you're in a hole is what? and the crowd reactedstop digging. unfortunately what president obama said is not what he has done and in fact we didn't only not stop digging, we threw away our shovel and got a back hoe and started digging double time because the -- in 2008 the debt was too high but now president obama has increased spending so much that we have broken historical record

i am thinking of an oral argument this year where carter philips was talking about fleeting expletives and a change in the policy about whether one could, if one were say paris held in puentes where briefly whether you could be fined for that and it was interesting because carter philips who is one of the harlem globetrotters, astonishing but doesn't do a lot of flash, he's just meticulously could good on the argument peace and not one to draw attention to himself or anything else. everybody was whispering going into this argument that he was going to actually say one of these fleeting expletives because he'd done it that the court of appeals and moly the court of appeals the whole court of appeals turned into a sailor's bar where the judges were swearing and he was swearing and everyone was swearing. it's one of the most fun oral arguments you can listen to. going into oral arguments there was a scuffle but he was going to go in there and cost like a sailor at the supreme court and at the last minute he didn't and was an interesting choice to essentially say we are not going to be tra

. >> but that's the reason we don't reprocess it is because jimmy carter said the consequence would be weapons grade plutonium, so the americans are not going to reprocessed. and thereby, he forced the overseas and everybody else was way ahead of us on a technology we developed. >> sir, i would definitely agree that that was the public face of it much in the same way that three mile island was the public face of the demise of the new build in this country. but if you go back and look at the other factors that went into it, you had several attempts to build commercial reprocessing facilities at the time. frankly, the nrc for perhaps good reason to change the rules on them in midstream. by the way, you have to go back and reconfigure. that added precipitously to the cost. simultaneously, the overall economics began to fall out of the bottom, as we saw new plans go by the wayside. and it came to a point where just frankly was not, given that time, especially with ridiculously high interest rates that make today pale in comparison, it was not economical to build such a facility. it was, fr

carter: i thank the gentleman for his description of what's going on. as he was saying it came to mind some of the things that just in my lifetime i can remember. if you study history you learn that when we put in the panama canal we had a horrible, horrible situation when we built the panama canal because of malaria and yellow fever that were insect bearing diseases and we invented d.d.t. and we used d.d.t. to hold down those bug populations. by that, we were table build the panama canal. as a child, growing up in houston, texas, without air-conditioning, the d.d.t. truck went by every friday night. sprayed the whole neighborhood. and yet a lady wret a book called "a silent spring" in which she said that all the research showed, i hate it when people say all the research shows, all the research shows that if we continue to use d.d.t., we will have no insect life on earth and the birds will die and we will have a silent spring. when spring comes, the birds won't be singing, the crickets won't be cricketting, and they'll go away. and being loyal progress

with the help of countless volunteers, ranging from the average citizen to former president jimmy carter, built hundreds of thousands of homes for the world's disadvantaged. his mission, as reflected a simple philosophy best expressed in millard's own words, he said, we want to make it socially, morally, political, religiously unacceptable to have substandard housing and homelessness. in 1996, president bill clinton recognized millard's dedication by awarding him the presidential medal of freedom. in 2005 millard also founded the fuller center for housing, a nonprofit housing ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide, by providing the structure, guidance and support that communities need to build and repair homes for the impoven parishionered among them -- impoverished among them. it is my great honor to sponsor h.res. 385 which celebrates the life of millard fuller and the impact that he had on so many. as this resolution is voted on today, let us seek to emulate millard fuller's passion for the good and the just and his selfless spirit of a better, gentler world. i ur

jimmy carter was president. >> host: you were a young man in. >> guest: i was 1718. my senior year. we have a iranian hostage crisis, inflation was a 21%, america was inapt and i talk about in the book where ron dellums, the liberal liberal from berkeley, california actually came up to me and said, but i don't understand, why is it all you cats with energy, you are all conservatives. back in my day you would have been on my side. i thought about and and i said, you know, when you think of the republican party you think of vietnam, you think of watergate, uc conservatives as opponents to civil-rights, i understand that. and i grew up in your time perhaps i would have been a liberal teaching in berkeley and when i think of democrats i think of jimmy carter, the iranian hostage crisis, malaise, why the hell would i want to be a democrat? of course, reagan came in and there are a lot of us -- i mean, i've played in bands with guys with. down to their belts who smokes pot as much as i drank milk and in these guys like to bring in. it was because at that time we will end one day from jimm

what he was and what the case was in that moment but i really do think the lesson that i took from carter philips in the fleeting expletive case, don't be too smart. go in and be safe and argue the case the way you'd argue respectfully in front of a court. >> anyone else want to weigh in on this question? okay. so let me ask you a question. as you were describing the casey case and katherine colbert's arguments, it sounded like she was really confrontational. she was combative and this is the argument i want to make and despite all your efforts to get me to deviate from these arguments i'm going to stick to my guns here. and in contrast, charles' description of bush versus gore and his quotes from ted olson suggest if the justices suggest they want to go in a direction you're going to follow them in that direction so how do you reconcile this? is your case the anomaly here or how can we best understand oral? >> if you know katherine colbert, you know that she is stubborn. and she was and she remains very committed to her cause. so if you keep in mind that this was as much a political adve

carter: reclaiming my time for a moment. i think most everybody understands that these bills that come before this congress have sometimes thousands -- well you saw the one john boehner dropped on the floor, it's about that thick. i mean, they got thousands of pages of things in them. so how you vote on a bill doesn't necessarily tell you what's in the weeds like a couple million dollars for missile defense or a couple of billion dollars for missile defense. it doesn't tell that you and if it's not discussed you don't know. and there's not any way we can tell you. that's why the openness of this house is so important. but its open rule, it's so important. mr. king i yield to you -- mr. king, i yield to you. mr. king: i thank the gentleman from texas and i'm watching the clock tick down here but -- i'll just conclude in a couple of minutes, but as i said, i just came from the rules committee and there's really not room in there for a tripod and camera and not really room for the press to operate the way they need to and not r

they're barely comes down to price. >> i still when jimmy carter. >> thank you, senator. [laughter] >> the other problem that seems to stand away is economics. what are we going to do to make sure that senator alexander's bill is actually implemented once enacted? how much is it going to cost? what will we have to do to the permitting and regulatory process? are we going to have to enact some litigation shortcuts so that even when the agencies get on board and we have the money available it will not be tied up for decades in court? >> the best way to describe the economics is on a relative basis. there is the notion of a love allies to -- levellized cost of generation. that number is usually in dollars per megawatt power. a giveaway to compare whether this was cheap or expensive as a fuel source. -- it gives you a way to compare whether this was cheap or expensive as a fuel cores. there are the financing costs that are a function of the interest rate that you get. the hue are not deemed creditworthy, -- if you are not deemed creditworthy, it costs top dollar. by contrast,

mcconnell becomes the senate majority leader, and that this is a one-term presidency in the jimmy carter. [cheers and applause] >> let me be candid. watching that video, a lot has changed since 1994. then i was a father, and my two daughters, kathy and jacky, are here tonight and we're thrilled that they're here. but now i'm a grandfather. maggie is 9 and robert is 7. then i was an elected official who'd been a college teacher. now calista and i run 24 mall businesses. like the 26 million other small business owners we are burdened with payroll taxes, red tape and all the challenges of trying to create jobs in a government-hostile environment. back then i came to chair the medicare reform task force. now i'm on medicare. back then i went to the movies. now calista and i make movies. so i recognize that 2009 is not 1994. but i want to say to all of you, as republicans, we have been here before. 1965, 1977, 1993. in each case we had lost. they'd been hard years. the news media was fleefully hoping we would disappear. 19651966 in which we picked up 47 house seats, swept the major -- includi

jimmy carter got us to 13% inflation, 22% interest rates, sliding into the worst recessions since the great depression and every day gasoline rationing. how many of you remember when you could only buy gasoline every other day based on your license plate? this happened. america was reduced by bad policy, bad politicians, and bad government to rationing gasoline. my good friend pointed out he was only 13 at the time every morning, his father would give him a screwdriver to go out back and change the license plate so the car that needed gas had the right license plate. if you learn that a government rationing led 13-year olds to change license plates, you are a conservative. if you conclude that what we needed was license plate police at every gas station, you are a liberal. it is that straightforward. we have been here before. replacing the rule of law with special interest deals and bankruptcy does not work. having a 31-year-old to take time off to did -- to redesign the auto industry will not work. he is a symbol of the arrogance and lack of realism of this administration. [applause]

i was in a similar situation in denver where we talked about dale carter, and how he could never play for the broncos because he didn't have the dale carter, and how he could never play for the broncos because he didn't have the character or integrity to do it, and he became a free agent and he became the highest paid guy, and every time you heard mike shanahan say something, you had to question really? is that what we're doing? so you're ruining your ability to be credible, and i look at t so you're ruining your ability to be credible, and i look at this team, and you go from a super bowl contender to pretender. guys aren't going to trust you. >> this team has been on the incline, it's a team on the rise, but if you look at his res incline, it's a team on the rise, but if you look at his respect and credibility, it's on the decline and their trust in their head coach. this timeline under brad childress, remember williamson, when his grandmother died, and he atte2r head. over your head. over your head. over your head. over your head. over your head. over your head. over your head. ove

had he gotten i mean peached for carter bombing cambodia and these guys, how can we write the story if no one's going to go to jail and obama's we don't want to divide the country or anything but what about these people sitting there every day? you turn on the television and you know something's wrong. >> one of the things is this kind of inquiry is a punitive process and one thing we know about this t punitive process in south africa or the way it's being conducted is it's a healing process. it's not about assigning blame. it's about getting the story straight and having everybody agree on what the narrative is how we got here and how we fix it. it's not about punishing people. the extremists interpret it that way because -- but it's not true. >> no. no. >> you can take this out of the realm of had and froid and take this out of the realm of anger and bring it into the realm of civic repair but there's a deep pattern in post war american history and that's that every two-term american president has violated the constitution in an escalatingly way, -- and reagan and bush did it and the

as far as a powell goes, colin powell says he voted for carter, clinton, and obama. people like me who are real conservatives and republicans did not vote for those people. someone with a track record like that who voted for carter, clinton, and obama is not a republican, my friend. guest: well, colin powell says he is republican. so if he says he is republican, you can save you are and people can challenge that or not. he says he is a republican. john mccain says he is republican. tim pawlenty, the republican governor of minnesota says he is a republican. be that as it may you have the debate going on right now for the dousoul of the republican party. it will continue even after someone emerges as the leader of the republican party. the party is in about the same state as in 1964 after lyndon johnson won a landslide victory over barry goldwater. people said we will never see the republican party again. four years later the people elected richard nixon. you will see these various points of view about what a republican is in for the party is going. eventually republic

what divides them are problems between the leaders of those groups. >> former president jimmy carter talking on close up on c-span. we have had no trouble getting the top guests on this program, gear in and year out. what is it about this program that the a-listers say they want to come? >> i would like the court take credit -- i would like to take credit but is all about being an opportunity to talk to students. we do it in a way that it is a real discussion. they appreciate that. it is not just five minutes or a sound bite. it is an hourlong program and you can have a thorough discussion. in some cases, they prescreen the questions but we never given to that. it was a candid discussion the president's all agree and we were very lucky. it was pretty incredible. >> jeanne kirkpatrick, former u.n. ambassador -- the answer to the question was you, you are the reason they would do it. jeane kirkpatrick had been ambassador to the united nations. president ronald reagan and president gorbachev were meeting in reykjavik, iceland. we got to kirkpatrick to come on to talk with social studies

>> i have not seen president carter's statement on that. i think the president believes clearly that comprehensive peace can bring security, stability and opportunity to all people in the middle east. and the president has spoken and about ensuring that hope and opportunity for palestinians. if both sides will have the courage to come together and see that long term peace. >> i have a follow-up. he speaks about the rights and greenpeace to assist but he doesn't speak about palestinians whose 70 percent of the land is under occupation, two then have a right to exist? >> absolutely. >> under occupation? for how many years? >> let's not purrs the president's words. if you look to the speech in cairo i think the president is pretty clear, a pretty clear in his support for comprehensive peace and as i said a two state solution that will bring stability, security and opportunity to everyone in that troubled region of the world. >> i only follow-up is in his public remarks the only speaks of israel's rights. >> no, we will pull that cairo the pres

jimmy carter was so controversial u.s. and invited to the democratic convention -- you're not going to tell me however, that you're going to charge the college democrats were infighting jimmy carter. one of the reasons is that are conservative students are civilized and they don't attack people who come to speak. and he said, you are right. so that ended that policy and they said they would have to pay so there are decent university presidents who will stand up on certain issues. but they are limited. what these university presidents are doing is they are ending tenure by just eliminating the slots when they retire. a lot of add jobs are being hired. you can read all the complaints of the go to the american association of university professors and enjoy yourself how embattled they actually field even though there are such a dominant baleen in tolerant force in academic life today. thank you.

if you look at the chart of the inflation and the chart in the book, inflation hit 145% in jimmy carter's last year of office. i tell the story when i was working in the 1980's as a grocery stores clerk after school, i was 19 years old at the time, and this was before they had the bar codes on the cans of vegetables and things so we actually have the sticker things that we put on the cans of vegetables, in the boxes of wheaties and so on. my challenge arthur when i would come into work was to try to get the higher price down before somebody could take the we aesop the the lower price because prices are rising so quickly. people forget about that era of raging inflation. the inflation rate in the 1980's came down from 14.5% in 1980 by the end of 1982, down to 3%. that is something almost no economists thought was possible and over that whole next 25 year period inflation was in what we call the swedes zone, the two to 4% range where the dollar gained its value. his goal was to make the dollar as good as gold again and that certainly happened in the 80s and 90s in 2000. by the way, it's jus

propriety as far as some fault in the election, they can always call in, i believe, the u.n., and jimmy carternd that kind of thing and maybe have a reelection like they did. where was that russian revolution. they had a whole newó2 vote again. it might end up in that situation. or praus has already emphasized the fact that he's willing to talk to ahmadinejad himself. i think he's already made those cards -- he laid out those cards so he could have some kind of communication. host: that's the last call we will take on this subject. we will change gears and talk about congress passing a bill with two new regulations for the tobacco industry. we'll talk about those details. we'll be right back. >> today, not even government -backed student lones are accepted at hillsdale college. sunday night at 8:00 c-span's "q&a". >> here is our current policy. we are eager to stop the bombing as we are eager to stop the war. >> telephone conferences from the final month of johnson's presidency. listen today at 10:00 eastern on c-span radio at 90 .1 fm in the washington area and nationwide on xm satellite cha

teddy roosevelt, harry truman, jimmy carter, bill clinton, they all called for it. while some reforms have been made, efforts at comprehensive reform that covers everyone in brings down costs have largely failed. part of the reason is because of the different groups involved such as doctors, insurance companies, and others could not agree on the need for reform or the shape it would take. if we are honest, the other part has been opposition that has used fear tactics to take any efforts to achieve reform as an attempt to socialized medicine. despite this long history of failure, i am standing here because i think we are in different times. one sign that things are different, the senate passed a bill that will protect children from the dangers of smoking. [applause] this went nowhere when it was proposed a decade ago. [applause] what makes this moment different is that this time for the first time stakeholders are aligning not against but in favor of reform. they are coming out -- coming together out of a recognition that while reform will take everyone in our health

in some of those cases, including the aborted a helicopter rescue of the people at the end of the carter administration. i want to make another point, and that is that the jefferson case, it specifically addressed and pointed out that they believe that different standards might be appropriate. what is at stake in employee exemption one is a citizen wanted to get the information, not having to show any particularly -- particular injury in the balance of equities. on the other hand, if you are in a civil case, whether it is an allegation of injury, the stakes are much more important. i am not sure. i want to point out that judges have interpreted this differently. sometimes, they will even look at the material and take the government's affidavit at face -- value. others say, it will not make sense to me. >> that gets to my final question. currently, we do have a body of law with a substantially different standards that is in the current law. that basically makes this a matter of judicial discretion. aren't we likely to get, what is the legend acclaim for information, if we start to scratch

we started at the end of the carter administration. we did not have him best as a president, but he was a guest regarding the situation in the middle east. >> i was wondering, people from all over the world have different cultures and value systems. i wanted to know if there is something you found that everybody connects on because they are human? when you're dealing with someone, is there something you can always relate with them about? >> it gets, regarding one's race, creed, or political philosophy or religion, and there is a common point of. the israeli mothers, palestinian mothers, they all want to see their families raised in peace. they want to see their sons get a good job, not go to war, and get killed. they want their small children to get health care. they want to see their husbands produce apples or oranges or run a pharmacy or practice medicine and have his talents be used properly. they want to lead a normal life. the leaders of the population want human rights, freedom, democracy. that is what brings them together. but t

there is a headline in the new york times, jimmy carter in gaza, urging hamas to go towards acceptance. guest: i wish there were something encouraging about hamas and their policies, but here is an entity devoted to the ethnic cleansing of all jews, and wherever we have seen that in a we have seen genocide, as well. their position when israel pulled out of gaza was to declare that tel aviv was also occupied and they were going to try and kill as many israelis as possible and kill them all until tel aviv was also under hamas control. caller: i would like to remain to remind the american people that the u.s. trained russians in afghanistan. so we have to look in the mirror to see why the current situation exists in the middle east. and i wonder, with respect to the china situation, they have a stranglehold on the economy when the united states no longer is able to buy chinese goods that cost 20 cents to produce because we no longer have the disposable income that we once did when the economy was booming, what do you think will happen? will china with barack? will lending start to tighten

vietnam, there was an energy crisis, there was gerald ford's good but bumbling intentions, jimmy carter'sists, cubans were patrolling africa, soviets were occupying afghanistan. was an awful time that ended with ronald reagan. i am not saying every disaster ends with ronald reagan. they don't. sometimes they just keep getting worse and worse. but it is important for conservatives to remember we have been through a very bad patches before. i hope that is another thing this book can remind people of. the third movement of the book is a portrait of the relationship, a relationship between an older man and young demand. i was a boy when i started. i would have been called youth, i became a younger man. in a longer ways it was love at first light on both our parts. as often happens with love at first sight, mistakes are made. as i realized, as i was writing this book, bill was looking for an air and i was looking for an idle. neither of those quests can ever really worked, and it will inevitably produce frustration and misunderstanding. in our case, some bumps along the road, a year after i we

[applause] and that this is a one-term presidency in the jimmy carter tradition. [applause] host: that is from new gingrich at the fund-raiser for house and senate republicans. $14.5 million for the 2010 midterm elections. it is election day in virginia. the front page of "richmond times dispatch." a three-way race. polls showing it dead even in primary day. the winner of this primary will face bob macdonald. howie is on the phone from philadelphia. good morning. caller: thank you for bringing this up. this is the fact that the republican party is a dark horse and newt gingrich is wrong. the first time that we were under such conditions is one reason for hays was president. the democratic party took over the party. we needed james garfield. we know what happened with that. i believe that representative steve locke is for the populist republicans. nixon tried to bring back the fact that tell them to which was very successful during his presidency. that is a populist republican. host: more headlines this morning.
