starting jan three, 1977 gerald ford is lost to jimmy carter. the republican party has been decimated in the ticket races of 76 and compounded by the fact they've been decimated in '74. in 1977 only one state in america has republican control of the governorship and legislature and that's kansas. 49 other states have a year or total democratic control of the state governments. there are states in the south of the drug don't even have elected republicans in the constitutional office. that is how bad is. and only 18% of the american people claim allegiance to the republican party and only 11% of the voters under 30 claim allegiance to the republican party. so, read in books of the landscape and says we can do better than this. so he goes out and starts giving speeches about the new republican party he envisioned. the republican party cannot be the party of the board room. it cannot be the part of the country club, it's got to be the party of the individual, not the state. it's got to be the party of the man on the street, the cop on the street, th

carter: mr. speaker, i hail from central texas and i'm very, very proud to say that i have the largest military facility in the world in my district, fort hood, texas. and if you're in the army, you know where fort hood is. in fact, i think if you find any 20-year veteran of the army, you'll find out they've been to fort hood. some of them once, twice, three, four times, because it's a huge training post and it is a great place, as they call it, in central texas. it had a great disaster happen to it on november 5 of last year when major nadal hasan attacked and killed 13 soldiers and wounded 43 others. before two courageous police officers, responding to this violence at fort hood, came and basically shot the man and brought him down. one of them getting shot in the process. and they got him captured. he's now the subject of much discussion around this house of representatives. and by the way, i don't know if anyone noticed, i was very surprised at the state of the union to see those two officers

carter frankly bring, again, a kind of new paradigm for understanding these industrial kplesties. in terms of priority, i have to say it is -- everyone said this when i came in. you'll be drinking with a fire hose. i had no idea what the challenges that the department faces. across the services and across policy. you know, we immediately set out to understand iteming better. we've met with your ceo. we've met with most of the companies ceos in here, and that's new. what we can't figure out and i've had this discussion with dr. carter, we don't know when and why the departments stopped having these meetings and stopped dating the insight and creating the transparency and dialogue. so we are, we're learning in realtime. i think that's goes to secretary lynn's comments about trying to run a railroad while you're laying the tracks. in terms of priorities, i can only say that i have now learned from microsoft office how you move tasks to 8:00 a.m. but it is difficult when you get calls -- because our office as all of our folks up here know and have had to deal with you know we have to

carter. we don't know when and why the department stopped having these meetings and stopped gaining the insight and treating the transparency and dialogue. so we are learning and of real time and i think that goes to the secretary lynn's comments trying to run the railroad while you are leaving the track. in terms of priority i can only say that i have now learned from microsoft office how you move tasks to 8 a.m. but it is difficult when you get calls because our office is all these folks up here know and have had to deal with we have a reactionary portion which is lascivious and we are on blocks not on our own making swibel of the priorities are not of our choosing by law so our priorities literally shift daily by trying to do and i think what everyone has reinforced its the office of industrial policy should be thinking ahead. we should be thinking about not solving mysteries mistakes but try to address tomorrows problems and i am desperately trying to get our office oriented in that direc

within the carter administration there is a serious divide as to how to respond. there was a proposal that would seriously put on the table to essentially drive u.s. forces at massachusetts avenue to the iranian embassy which was still operating in the united states and in a timely and gentler way hold them hostage. they would have hostages, we would have hostages. that's how it works, you move on. erect violation of international law. and it was the legal adviser to convince the secretary of state to convince president carter to watch the proposal. they retained it with full diplomatic protection throughout the entire time of the crisis. that gave the americans some degree of moral authority which in fact did the justice case and the subsequent resolution. and the final one, the detail peace accords and the soon to be city and peace accords back in 1995 were invited to the peace negotiations they were the lead general and delete political instigator of the conflict. you really couldn't have peace we thought in bosnia without bringing the perpetrators. you can neg

carter comes in and they began again to attack. what is important to know is that there is a political revolution. democrats moving left forcing the scoop jackson democrats who would become the neocons and 1980. they began to try to take the party back. when that failed between 76 and 80 they moved and coalesced with the republican conservatives and formed what would become the rage and revolution in iran have america and four policy 14 or another. that was the key question in my mind and one other question. because i was intrigued by the way nixon maneuvered out from the white house from inside the white house, i kept wondering he recommend he get haig. how did haig get to the white house? is searching around 2006, i called roger morris to call the national security council and the throaty name i had never heard before may be a fellow named cramer. he expend day she explained he was henry kissinger's mentor. and his name was fritz kramer perk we have modern technology so let's approval technology. rumsfeld comment cheney, wolfowit

way before president jimmy carter talks about a foreign policy based on human rights, william worthy was talking about this. and worthy as one of the people who is part of the ropes and generation. i call the roads generation the group of activists who come of age during the prime political time of the key african-american political and cultural figure of the 1930s and 40s and 50s who is going to be really marginalized by the cold war. between 1951 and 1958, paul robeson's passport is revoked it is not going to be able to earn a living outside of the country because of his left wing please. robeson never joined the congress party but is certainly sympathetic to marxism and communism and he is going to suffer because of that. but worthy is extraordinary and he provides a different genealogy of the black power. people like william worthy, richardson who was the activist from cambridge, maryland, who was called the legion of the civil rights movement who waged an unprecedented struggle in cambridge, maryland in 1963 and 64 to help desegregate that city, met with attorney general robert

plose -- would you be willing to consider embracing in the name of little carter jr.oday, in the name of every struggling family in the country did they come up the across-the- board tax relief that the republicans have advocated, the president reagan advocated, that have always given a stimulating, broad based economic growth? >> there is a lot packed into that question, sir. [laughter] first of all, let me say that i will be going back to that young men and family and i appreciate that. let's talk about just the jobs environment in general. you're absolutely right that when i was sworn in, the hope was that unemployment would remain around 8%. that was based on the estimates made by both conservative and liberal economists, because at that point, not all the data had trickled in. will loss 650,000 jobs in december. -- we have lost 650,000 jobs in december. i am assuming you're not faulting my policies for that. we have lost, it turns out, 700,000 jobs in january, the month i was sworn in. i am assuming it was not my administration's policies that accounted for that.

we have that with gerald ford and jimmy carter and george bush 41.st to keep our country together. very few presidents do not get an upward bounce later. as tough as it is slugging it out, there will probably be moment in our country 20 years from now, 30 years from now that we are looking at it a bit differently than we are now. it is hard to have historical insight in the thick of things. host: what is on the schedule for a presidential historian on president's day? guest: thanks for asking. i am here in boston and will be speaking at the jfk library today with katherine dalton, who wrote a very good book about the president. it will be taking comments focused on kennedy. i tried to spend every president's day at one of the presidential libraries because those are our great depositories of our archives. they are a museum and a place where you can use primary documents. i am privileged to be at the kennedy library today. host: douglas brinkley, thanks for being here. guest: i always loved being on c-span. host: we will be back to dr. james allen fox

carter, has immersed himself in this program.'ve had a couple of joint estimating teams look at the program. it was clear that there were more problems than we were aware of when i visited fort worth. and i think the restructuring program that dr. carter has put in place will work. it is realistic. the cost estimates are now in accord with what the joint estimating teams are predicting rather that what the -- than what the program is predicting. i would say there are no insurmountable problems, technological or other with the f-35. the measures that dr. carter is taking, i think, will mitigate some of the more pessimistic conclusions of the jets, the joint estimating teams. so i believe that we are, we are in a position to now move forward with this program in a realistic way, but by the same token one cannot absorb the additional costs that we have in this program, and the delays without people being held accountable. and i think if i've set one tone here at the department of defense, it is that when things go wrong, people will

i think that undersecretary carter has a clear idea of the right mix between contractors and civiliansut i think that the first place we need to look is that we probably shouldn't have contractors evaluating contractors. and so i think that's the first area as we make these conversions, which i might add are on track one year in. >> my time's expired. thank you, mr. chairman. >> just to implement that point, of senator nelson. i believe in this year's budget proposal you are requesting proposing maybe 10,000 contractor jobs be eliminated and changed over to employees of the defense department. i don't have the exact number. but is that not true? it's in the budget? >> our goal is 20,000. to increase the number of acquisition professionals from 127,000 to 147,000. 10,000 of those will be the conversion of contractor jobs to civil service jobs. another 10,000 will be new hires. >> and that's in this year's budget. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> i just want to implement -- just to clarify that point. >> 0,000 total is over 10 to 14, senator levin. >> over four years. >> right. >>

can look at the problems but we have always had a sense we were on the right track even when the carter administration or bush administration, which ever you hated you knew we would make it but there are bigger problems now because of debt and this statement from the president. the fundamental transformation of america. a way to fundamentally transform the united states of america. >> i'm not sure what that means. do you know? this is not a trick question. can you explain "the fundamentals of transformation." there are a couple of different ways to take it, it could be a wonderful transformation, away from lies. maybe he means he will give america an extreme makeover, going for maximum freedom. or he thinks the old american system doesn't work and he wants to try something new, a government that will speak in universal health care. did you hear what nancy pelosi said over the weekend? the gated close, we go over the gates, we go over the fence if the fence is too high, but we will get health care reform passed for the american people. for their own personal health and economic security.

i think that undersecretary carter has a clear idea of the right mix between contractors and civiliansi think that the first place we need to look is that we probably shouldn't have contractors evaluating contractors. and so i think that's the first area as we make these conversions, which i might add are on track one year in. >> my time's expired. thank you, mr. chairman. >> just to implement that point, of senator nelson. i believe in this year's budget proposal you are requesting proposing maybe 10,000 contractor jobs be eliminated and changed over to employees of the defense department. i don't have the exact number. but is that not true? it's in the budget? >> our goal is 20,000. to increase the number of acquisition professionals from 127,000 to 147,000. 10,000 of those will be the conversion of contractor jobs to civil service jobs. another 10,000 will be new hires. >> and that's in this year's budget. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> i just want to implement -- just to clarify that point. >> 0,000 total is over 10 to 14, senator levin. >> over four years. >> right. >> how

that was in the carter years. 4 billion u.s. dollars -- $4 billion u.s. to them.usly in violation of the code of conduct and it is a violation between the joint communiques issued between china and the united states. i think the chinese people and government have every reason to appear in didn't about this. -- to appear indignant. the united states still went ahead with the sale. of course the chinese government and people would have to react. we think it is our sovereign right to do what is necessary. the central question here is whether a country is feeling stronger or not. all countries, big or small, strong or weak, weak or pour -- rich or poor should be the same. before you make any decisions, would you like this to be done unto yourself? of course not. so i hope that our friends and people in europe can understand that what china has done is very reasonable and any dignified people would do this. i hope people would honor their commitments. i, too, hope that the united states will change its behavior on arms sales and will be hot -- and will abide by the com

we have johnson and jimmy carter, it to bush's and some say obligor elected president. say we have to prove clinton johnson did not do that. lyndon johnson still has tremendous clout in the south. jack kennedy had weaknesses both because of the catholic issue and civil-rights issue and because the south was trending back for the first time to the republican party , apple let loose when eisenhower it could slide even more under jack kennedy. you had to play nice if you were jack kennedy. but it does see? he makes them joe biden choice and takes the safe choice initially. somebody who may be can't hurt you but it will not hurt days help you. he will offer the vice presidency and private to a senator from missouri. the but before it is made public jack kennedy's wheels start rolling. he really a out of courtesy should offer this to linda in. we will not take it. he is senate majority leader and has immense power. he lives for power. he will not be vice president. rose about vice president said a vice president isn't worth of bucket of spent. johnson knew that and saw what

carter has immersed himself in the program. look at the program. it was clear that -- that there were more problems, and than -- than we were aware of when i visited fort worth. and i think that the restructuring program that dr. carter has put in place will work it is it is realistic. the cost estimates are in accord with the predicting rather than what the program is predicting. i would say there's no insurmountable problems with the f-35. and the measures that -- that dr. carter is taking i think will mitigate significantly some of the more pessimistic conclusions of the jets. and the joint estimating teams, so i believe that we are we are in a position to now move forward with this program in a realistic way. but by the same token -- one cannot absorb the additional costs that -- that we have in the program and the -- and the delays. without people being held accountable. i think if -- if -- if i have set one tone here at the department of defense, it is that -- that when things go wrong, people will be held accountable. >>

jimmy carter was the first to make it front and center since the creation of the un.emain part of our foreign policy? guest: it has to remain part of our foreign policy. president bush used that rhetoric during the war on terror, drawing on language that jimmy carter used, and tapping into the image of a president that he wanted to separate himself from. host: gerry, republican line. caller: earlier you talking about the tremendous attrition and the tension between republicans and -- the truman administration and the tension between republicans. i think in the defense department -- you glossed over that, but it was proven to be true when the soviets released the files i guess in the late 1990's. guest: i could comment on that. yes, we have had the release of the soviet archives saying that there was a soviet spy network in the united states and some of those accused were guilty. importantly, a lot or not. it was kind of scattershot, the attacks during that period. it does not mean that people like joseph mccarthy, the senator from wisconsin who leveled a lot of these

i lived through the carter administration and the first four years of the reagan did ministration. so when it was time for me to vote or to pay attention enough to vote -- my parents were not political at all. my family was not political at all. i was the first registered republican in my house and in my family, that i know of. it was something new to me. i did not know to be republican, to be candid. i went to register to vote in 1984. i went to the motor registrar's office. as i turned to walk away, she said, you did not put -- in maryland, you are required to put democrats, independents, or republican in the box. i had no idea. i just wanted to be with ronald reagan. she said, i cannot tell you what ronald reagan is. here is "the washington post." go figure it out. she made me sit down in the office there and i read "the washington post" and found that he was a republican and i put that in the box. >> he has maneuvered his way around a number of political circles. he made himself known as the vice presidential candidate in the bob dole campaign. there was an added a toll-free nu

anglo-american tradition going back 400 years back to elizabethan times and in some cases back to the magnet carter a. the reagan administration administration, in 1981 changed less. it said the most important, from now on we will not worry about antitrust in terms of citizens, we will use it to protect the welfare of the consumer. it is important to know when the reagan administration did this, they have helped. there is parts of the consumer movement that came to their aid. when robert bork of the chicago school came up with this consumer welfare frame there was a lot of amen from the democrats. to be frank, the clinton administration in terms of consolidation in this country was in most cases, the worst than what the reagan people did. but we should make no mistake about western western-- mr. bork and his fellow friends did with the current welfare frame. this was to passing essentially into law, efficiency argument that has been favored by monopolist for centuries. what do i mean? john d. rockefeller, jpmorgan, they all basically had a single message, competition is wasteful. centralization of

in fact, every single president since jimmy carter has dealt with the idea of burying it deep insidemountain, but as you can guess, that is is a political hot potato with the folks in nevada not keen on the idea. every one of the presidents, democrat and republican, and every one of them have passed the problem on to the next guy until now. broken government at the most ineffective and dysfunctional with nuclear waste. it is not like the spent fuel is gone. it is at nuclear power plants across the nation, and that used fuel is stored in vast containers and containers like these go into concrete bins sitting there waiting for a place to move it. now, here is the astounding part. while government has been too broken to move forward, science has moved leaps and bounds. in fact, in france where they goat most of the power from nuclear energy, they have what is called used fuel reproce reprocessing, and they have one plant that takes nuclear waste, breaks it down into nuclear, into usable material leaving much less to be stored and you only need one for the whole country. nuclear scientis

it did it when carter did it, clinton did it, jack kennedy did it.emocrats have put good tax lowering proposals in place before. you raise taxes on capital and you get less of it. lower taxes on capital, get more of it. that's what creates the jobs. look, where i come from, almost all jobs come from small businesses. 70% are from small businesses. pass-through entities and we'll raise the tax rates to 40%. we'll raise the seed capital, gains and dividends by almost 100% when it comes to dividends. even with the tax increases, larry, the deficit in the budget never goes down below 3% of gdp which all economists say is the maximum level a deficit should get. >> this is another thing i don't get. larry summers is a smart guy. we may not agree but he's a smart guy. so is kristy roberts and tim geithner. they are smart people. if you jack up the top tax rate the small business owner operators are going to move from the small business s-corp back to the c-corp rate which is 35% whereas the small business personal income rate is 40. you will never see the m

we have that with gerald ford and jimmy carter and george bush 41.d they did their best to keep our country together. very few presidents do not get an upward bounce later. as tough as it is slugging it out, there will probably be moment in our country 20 years from now, 30 years from now that we are looking at it a bit differently than we are now. it is hard to have historical insight in the thick of things. host: what is on the schedule for a presidential historian on president's day? guest: thanks for asking. i am here in boston and will be speaking at the jfk library today with katherine dalton, who wrote a very good book about the president. it will be taking comments focused on kennedy. i tried to spend every president's day at one of the presidential libraries because those are our great depositories our archives [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2010] >> indiana senator evan bayh says he will not be seeking a third term. is expected to make that announcement at 2:00 p.m.
